Israel/Palestine: Analysis of Israel/Palestine
Why Safe-Haven Zionism Is Incompatible with Jewish Cosmopolitanism
By Rebecca Subar | February 24, 2012
The social-emotional-intellectual conundrum of reconciling universalist allegiances and Jewish safety leads to a sequence of challenges to safe-haven political Zionism that our intellectual and moral integrity require us to consider. Fear is an appropriate response to danger. But what lack of imagination would permit us as a progressive American Jewish polity to be driven solely by our fears, to limit ourselves to solutions that destroy the agency of non-Jews and the self-determination of a non-Jewish nation, in order to protect ourselves from possible danger?
The Arab Awakening and the Israeli-Palestinian Connection
By Tony Klug | September 20, 2011
The stunning failure of the international commentariat to foresee the seismic shifts that are engulfing the Arab world today is reason enough to be guarded about what they are telling us now about the causes and meaning of the uprisings. Until events proved otherwise, many self-appointed experts confidently—sometimes arrogantly—explained that the global movement toward democracy had been spurned by the Arab world simply because liberty and equality were "not part of the Arab makeup." So it must have come as quite a shock to them that the Arab people turned out to be not so different from the rest of the human race! So while caution is strongly advised, there are certain tentative deductions that I believe we can risk making even now.
No Partner for Peace? Reflections on the Limitations of J Street and the Jewish American Peace Camp During the Campaign for Palestinian Statehood
By Chisda Magid | September 16, 2011
In its short but meteoric rise to relevance in the American Jewish community, J Street has attempted to expand the Jewish American peace camp by taking nuanced positions and poaching supporters from traditional Jewish organizations like AIPAC. But there is a major discrepancy between J Street's repeated call for "bold and creative action" in pursuit of a two-state solution and its position paper defending the U.S. veto.
What Is the New Israeliness?
By Lev Luis Grinberg | September 13, 2011
The teenagers and twentysomethings who were barely old enough to light funeral candles after Yitzhak Rabin's assassination in 1995 are now doing what today's adults were unable to do back then: creating a new Israeli identity capable of living in peace with itself.

Is AIPAC Trying to Undermine Obama? Plus Thoughts on Palestinian Statehood
By Rabbi Michael Lerner | June 17, 2011
Tikkun ally and policy analyst M.J. Rosenberg looks at the recent behavior of the right wing pro-Israel lobby AIPAC and detects an agenda of undermining and discrediting Obama, not to mention anyone seeking peace between Israel and Palestine. That demand for "negotiations now" is shown to be a non-starter in the editorial today in Ha'aretz newspaper and in the analysis provided by the moderate King of Jordan. Please read this to understand why, unless Palestinians get more leverage through the UN, no move toward peace is going to happen as long as Netanyahu or his right-wing supporters are still shaping Israeli policy.
Objective Historian or Staunch Ideologue?
By Tony Klug | June 10, 2011
Professor Benny Morris — a key member of the group of Israeli scholars known as the "new historians"– devotes almost the entirety of his latest book to shooting down the case for both one state and two states in all their variations.
Fairness for Both Sides Is Key to Middle East Peace
By Rabbi Michael Lerner | May 26, 2011
Pre-1967 lines only make sense in the context of a comprehensive settlement that meets both sides' needs in a spirit of trust and compassion.
In the Land of Double Narrative
By Mimi Schwartz | May 13, 2011
You hear the double narrative of Israel/Palestine in words like the Nakba, or Catastrophe, which is how Palestinians describe the first war in 1947, the one the Israelis call the War of Independence because it began after the Arabs rejected the UN pronouncement of the State of Israel — and attacked. And in what the Israelis call the Security Wall, designed to stop the suicide bombers from blowing up discos in Tel Aviv and bus stations in Jerusalem — and the Palestinians call the Racist Wall or the Apartheid Wall because it cuts into their land and prevents their moving freely into Israel proper for jobs and family, as they did before the Intifada, a word that conjures up the liberation movement for Palestinians and the existential threat of annihilation for Israelis.
Overcoming Despair as the Republicans Take Over: A Conversation with Noam Chomsky
By Rabbi Michael Lerner | March 1, 2011
How are national initiatives built locally? Can we push Obama leftward in 2012? Chomsky calls for small steps toward confronting global capital.

Jewish Anti-Zionism
By Rafael Chodos | November 1, 2010
Jewish opposition to the State of Israel arises partly from the sense that Judaism is a religion of introspection rather than political action.
The New Zionist Imperative Is to Tell Israel the Truth
By Jeremy Ben-Ami | September 1, 2010
This is an extremely interesting and terrible time for the issue that I work on, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I'd like to think together about some reactions to the flotilla incident and about where we go from here—what are the policy options, the implications for our politics, and, from my perspective, the implications for the American Jewish community.
Israeli Orthodox Establishment Arrests a Woman for Carrying the Torah
By Rabbi Michael Lerner | July 12, 2010

Taking BP meds at bedtime better than upon waking
Pearl Toh
Not only does taking antihypertensive drug at bedtime lead to better control of blood pressure (BP), it nearly halves the risk of cardiovascular events compared with dosing upon waking, according to the Hygia Chronotherapy Trial — thus debunking the long-held belief that antihypertensives should be taken in the morning.
"Current guidelines on the treatment of hypertension do not mention or recommend any preferred treatment time. Morning ingestion has been the most common recommendation by physicians based on the misleading goal of reducing morning BP levels," said lead author Professor Ramón Hermida of University of Vigo in Vigo, Spain.
"Furthermore, there are no studies showing that treating hypertension in the morning improves the reduction in the risk of CVD," he added.
Bedtime the best time?
During a median follow-up of 6.3 years, hypertensive patients who took their medications at bedtime were 45 percent less likely than those medicating upon waking to develop the primary composite cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcome (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.55; p<0.001). [Eur Heart J 2019;doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehz754]
Bedtime dosing also led to significantly lower risk of each of the single components of the primary endpoint, namely myocardial infarction (HR, 0.66), heart failure (HR, 0.58), stroke (HR, 0.51), coronary revascularization (HR, 0.60), and CVD death (HR, 0.44; p<0.001 for all).
Moreover, the above findings remained even after adjusting for multiple variables including age, sex, asleep systolic BP (SBP), sleep-time relative SBP decline, type 2 diabetes, HDL cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, smoking, and previous CVD event.
"The Hygia Project has reported previously that average SBP when a person is asleep is the most significant and independent indication of CVD risk, regardless of BP measurements taken while awake or when visiting a doctor," said Hermida.
In keeping with this, the researchers found that both asleep SBP and diastolic BP (DBP) were significantly lowered in the bedtime dosing group compared with the upon-waking group (p<0.001 for both).
Importantly, the lower asleep BP was achieved without loss of efficacy in lowering awake BP. Office BP was significantly lower with bedtime dosing, regardless of whether it was for systolic or diastolic (p<0.001 for both).
"Indeed, progressive decrease in the asleep SBP mean during the 6.3 years of follow-up was the most significant predictor of reduced CVD risk, beyond the prognostic value of other associated conventional risk markers," stated Hermida and co-authors.
Effects on other CVD markers
Hygia was a large prospective multicentre trial with a PROBE* design, which randomized 19,084 hypertensive patients (mean age 60.5 years, 55.6 percent male) in a 1:1 ratio to take their entire daily dose of hypertension medications at bedtime or upon awakening. The participants were monitored on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) performed over 48 hours at baseline and at each scheduled clinic visit during follow-up.
By the end of the study, taking antihypertensives at bedtime led to more favourable lipid profile, as indicated by lower LDL cholesterol (mean, 118.2 vs 120.7 mg/dL; p=0.002) and higher HDL cholesterol levels (mean, 53.0 vs 51.8 mg/dL; p<0.001) vs dosing upon waking.
Similarly, renal function was also significantly improved with bedtime vs upon-waking dosing — as reflected by higher eGFR** (mean, 79.3 vs 75.7 mL/min/1.73 m2; p<0.001) and lower serum creatinine (mean, 1.06 vs 1.16 mg/dL; p<0.001) and albumin/creatinine ratio (median, 6.5 vs 7.0; p=0.03).
All of the above measures, the researchers pointed out, are well-recognized relevant biomarkers of CVD risk.
There were no differences in the rates of patient-reported adverse effects. In particular, no increase in hypotension was seen, as was its potential sequelae such as falls.
Take-away from the study
"In keeping with previous findings, [our] results document that bedtime hypertension therapy is at least as safe, and with similar patient compliance and adherence, than usual upon-waking therapy," said the researchers.
Nonetheless, there are considerations that needed to be taken into account with respect to the drug's mechanism of action.
"Many antihypertensive drugs, particularly diuretics, may not be tolerated when given at bedtime. Indeed, diuretics were used somewhat less frequently in the bedtime administration group," wrote the editorialists led by Dr Jawahar Mehta from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Arkansas, US in an accompanying editorial. [Eur Heart J 2019;doi:10.1093/eurheartj/ehz836]
"[The current findings] and those previously reported from the Hygia Project indicate that [the] average BP levels while asleep and nighttime BP dipping, but not daytime BP or BP measured in the clinic, are jointly the most significant BP-derived markers of CV risk," said Hermida. "Accordingly, round-the-clock ABP monitoring should be the recommended way to diagnose true arterial hypertension and to assess the risk of CVD."

Jason McLennon helped Climate Pledge Arena become the first certified zero-carbon arena in the world

Climate Pledge Arena goes on offense with sustainability goals
Joshua McNichols
Most big arenas use lots of fossil fuel to heat and cool the space. They're energy hogs. But backers of Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena, home to The Kraken and The Storm, say it'll be the greenest in the world.
We checked into those claims.
Architect Jason McLennan has spent his life working to make buildings more sustainable. He basically invented "living buildings" in 1998, which are buildings inspired by nature, and held accountable to certain goals. They draw energy from the sun and reuse their own rainwater, like a plant does.
McLennan also he grew up playing hockey. His dad almost went pro. This arena let him bring both those passions together.
"I've got to say this is actually an important moment for me as we walk out into the arena," he said as he approached the top row from the entrance, looking down at the rink. "This is the first time I've seen the ice revealed since I've been here. So it's a bit of a moment."
"One of the things that makes this ice so special is where the water comes from, to make the ice," McLennan said. "And what we're doing at the Climate Pledge Arena is we're collecting water from the roof, that falls naturally: rainfall, what we're famous for in Seattle."
The water flows through a system of gutters and pipes into a 15,000 gallon underground tank. From there, it's pumped and filtered whenever it's needed to build up a new ice rink floor or to feed the Zamboni.
This building is full of little details like that. Added together, they helped Climate Pledge Arena qualify for certification as the first carbon zero arena in the world. It doesn't use any fossil fuels. It offsets any carbon dioxide it produces. And by 2024 (when it ditches all single-use plastics), almost all its waste will be recycled or composted.
Workers finish concrete and plant landscaping around Climate Pledge Arena on Friday, October 8, 2021.
McLennan says all the sustainability calculations will be published online, every year.
"I think that's an incredibly important thing – that people can call us on it."
Amazon bought the naming rights to the arena. But instead of calling it Amazon Arena, the company used the name to highlight their "Climate Pledge."
I wanted to know if the claims about this arena are just "greenwash," a big marketing stunt. So I asked a couple faculty members at the University of Washington College of Built Environments. They gave two different responses.
Kate Simonen, Professor and Chair of the Architecture Department at the UW's College of Built Environments, also heads the Carbon Leadership Forum
Kate Simonen is the Chair of the Architecture school, and she runs something called the Carbon Leadership Forum. She's spent years pushing organizations to take their sustainability goals seriously. She says Climate Pledge Arena is like a dream come true.
"Oh, I feel excited. I feel really excited. I mean, the commitment to net zero by 2040 is where everybody needs to be going. And so to have a major – what I would almost consider a public resource – attacking the challenge so aggressively, is wonderful," she said.
Simonen said the new arena sets a new standard.
"Everybody needs to meet this standard. You know, we have a growing awareness of the importance of action on climate. There's things that need to be done in the next 10 to 20 to 30 years – and that really means now. Although in some ways it may seem I said it's rare, and that they're a leader, it is what we all should be doing."
But upstairs from Simonen's office, Manish Chalanah has a different opinion.
Manish Chalana, Associate Professor of Urban Planning at the University of Washington College of Built Environments
Chalanah is with the Department of Urban Planning. He's a little less excited.
"It's a narrow way of thinking about sustainability," he said. "And I'm not being overcritical as to what they're doing. It's good. It's good to be thinking about environmental sustainability, there's no doubt about that."
But Chalanah says real sustainability is a three legged stool. In Seattle, we do a good job talking about one leg of that stool: environmental sustainability. But we're less focused on the other two legs: Social sustainability and economic sustainability.
Chalanah said it's those last two factors that "create good societies for the well being of people who inhabit the city. I want projects like this to address all three pillars of sustainability before they can make that claim that they're truly sustainable."
Take economics, for example. It's true, the backers of this building spent around a billion dollars of their own money to remodel it. And the lack of cost to taxpayers upfront is one of the most frequently cited parts of the arena's origin story. But Chalanah argues that in the end, the building is publicly owned, and he thinks the public is giving away too much of its future profits.
Rob Johnson disagrees. He's a former city council member who now works for the Kraken. He said consider the way things are usually done.
"Traditionally a sports team owner comes to a city, or a local government, says 'I want to keep my team here. But in order to keep my team here, I need hundreds of millions of dollars in municipal bonds or other financing in order to upgrade my building so we can stay competitive. And then, I'm going to keep 100% of the profits of that facility.'"
Johnson said this arena flipped that approach on its head. It created a public building using private money, and the city gets a share of future profits.
"Some advertising revenue, the parking revenue," Johnson said.
It may take years to fully understand whether Climate Pledge Arena was as good a deal as we're being told.
But in the meantime, it's definitely raising the bar for the environmental sustainability of big construction projects.

Who else feels that this isolation situation has expanded their horizon? (which seems ironic as today we operate in a space with a very limited horizon). Like the other day, I felt that I really want to experiment with a flashgun. Not to use it as a soft fill light but to go bold and to add harsh shadows. Whoever is familiar with my images understands that the light sits on them 'invisibly', but sometimes it feels too romantic to me, and I feel like I somehow need to create a disturbance to the scenery.
Here's another strategy, conceptual language, I've become more confident with since spending so much time alone.
Cheering up
Yesterday I made myself a schedule of what needs to be done and when. So today has actually been a productive day, something I haven't experienced for a while, and it eases my anxiety about the whole situation. The tricky bit is mentally reframing the space that I live in. Because of my trip from Cardiff to Estonia, I'm obliged by the law to stay in total social isolation for 2 weeks. This means that my days are spent in one room that at the same time stands for a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and workspace.
It requires some self-discipline but it is doable.
One of the things that keeps me sane is photography, and thank god for having the opportunity to get my film developed and scanned. Although the quality is not comparable to the one that Flextight produced in Cardiff, it still feels great to receive your scans.
Let's talk about shooting
I had been roaming the streets looking for something to shoot. I loaded, then waited and watched. Once I had caught my subject in view I aimed and took a shot. I worked alone in the dark room developing the negatives. I stopped it, then fixed it. Then I cropped, dodged and burned the positive until I was satisfied (Navab, 2001: 69).
Photography seems to be a dangerous field. There is no need to dig deep into photographic theories to exemplify that, one just has to think in terms of linguistics. For example, when Estonians talk about the process of picture-making they use a noun 'pildistama' which directly translates as 'picturing'. The quickest option for an English speaker to describe the same act is to say 'shooting'. An uncanny moment must be experienced by those who first enter this language game, but this doubled reality is subject to time, as with time comes habit. Similarly, Susan Sontag (1980) has commented that "we talk about 'loading' and 'aiming' a camera, about 'shooting' a film" without thinking about the connotations. The camera has so deeply emerged into the world of metaphors, she writes, that its predatory nature is present without noticing it.
Photography, however, is not a participant in a simple hunting game but of full-on war - people are bombarded with pictures on billboards, newspapers and all kinds of screens and because of this ubiquitous presence, it is nearly impossible to escape from them. Again, this uncontrollability manifests in linguistics. Oddly it seems that the act of taking an image, that is to shoot a shot, is less destructive than the end result that reaches its audience/'victims'. Once the image is freed from its container, whether a memory card or a film roll, its impact is described by means of bombardment. But If language is shaping our conceptions actively not passively (Navab, 2011) then to what extent has this vocabulary moulded our notion of photography? Is photography itself violent or has the language associated with it, or used to describe it, made it like that?
Of course, there are some obvious explanations for this linkage between weaponry and photography - the camera is indeed aimed towards its subject as a gun is aimed towards its victim. But unlike the gun which shoots out a bullet, the camera's sensor (or a photographic film) is waiting for the information to be taken in and recorded onto a surface. Therefore these two, in essence, seem to work in contrary directions. First, both prerequisite a subject, in one form or another, whether a sky or earth, a person or an object; but how this subject is treated is exactly what separates those two forms of 'shooting'. A camera makes the use of time via the length of a shutter speed to invisibly bring the subject into the camera. A gun's logic is to speed out a bullet into the subject. So one is an inward process the other an outwards one, and the real danger of photography, as the following writings suggest, is the subject of the lens, not the lens itself. That is within photography's adhered characteristics to depict the 'real,' the 'truth,' the 'natural'.
Walter Benjamin in his famous essay On Photography (1931), iconic writing published almost 90 years ago, states that photography is at its best when it is deeply bound within the world and with its politics, not freely floating in a space of neutrality. He refers to photographers who have achieved that: August Sander and Eugene Atget. In opposition to this ideal, Benjamin speaks of 'art photography' which, as he concludes, presents the greatest danger to photographic development because it takes itself out of all social realities and does not tell anything about the world, but devalues it to a mere aesthetic experience: "therein is unmasked a photography which is able to relate a tin of canned food to the universe, yet cannot grasp a single one of the human connections in which that tin exists". Although art's function today, quite contrary, emphasises the importance of criticality then Benjamin's dislike towards the practice is understandable. Given the context of the time he was writing this - Nazi party making its way to power and economic depression severely exhausting Germany - one could naturally conclude that photography is dangerous when it is not critical.
Contrary to this opinion, photography is also dangerous when criticality sits quietly in its core and "is subversive not when it frightens, repels, or even stigmatizes, but when it is pensive, when it thinks" (Barthes: 1970). August Renger-Patzsch's famous "The World is Beautiful" according to Benjamin dismisses the thought. It only agrees that something is but does not question -natural forms are beautiful, man-made forms are beautiful - and it had all the right to do so because art was free from social and political responsibilities (Benjamin: 1931). Contrary to this, Benjamin saw that Sander's photographs were thinking (today we can say that the Nazi party banning and destroying his work is a testimony to this). The visual strategy of 'Face of Our Time' gave everybody an equal starting point whether a peasant, a gypsy, a Nazi party member or a jew, and a variety of stories unraveled out of this unity. Equality, however, was a dangerous concept. Therefore photography has always been a dangerous field, already designated to be so by the vocabulary. But is potentially most harmful when it both thinks and when it doesn't think.
Plans after graduating
I first met Diana at a photography exhibition in Cardiff. It is impossible not to notice someone carrying a charming sausage dog who, as I later find out, is called Oliver. A few weeks ago I dropped by Diana's studio to ask about her life after receiving a photography degree 7 years ago and was happy to see them both again.
Diana is a freelance product photographer. Her images are fresh, pure and harmonious, and when I ask her whether product photography was also in her mind when he graduated a photography course in Newport, then the answer is 'no' - she disregarded it until realising that it can be so much more than just a white backdrop and an object in the center of the image. Diana tells me that creativity plays a massive role in her work, as through thoughtful usage of props and backgrounds she has to bring the product to life.
I ask about the daily routine of a freelancer and Diana tells me that there's no fixity in her schedule - some days involve only shooting in the studio, some editing and every once in a while she likes to work from home. But she stresses the importance of time off: "you have to take care of yourself, otherwise you'll get sick". Diana loves long walks with Oliver, being by the sea, and watching movies.
I ask what book, movie, or music inspires Diana she brings out an artist Khruangbing and their album The Universe Smiles Upon You (2015), and when I listen to it later I can easily imagine this sound echoing in her studio.

We Need a Rational Approach to Reopening
A framework for government and corporate leaders in the U.S.
Patrick Viguerie
Alex Viguerie
As business and government leaders look to reopen the U.S. after locking down to slow the spread of Covid-19, the stakes couldn't be higher. If there were ever a time for rational decision making, it is now. Leaders should apply three principles to what may be the most consequential decision of their careers: 1) Be clear about the objective of each decision; 2) apply granularity, seeking solutions that focus resources and interventions specifically and in a highly targeted way; and 3) build the capacity to learn and adapt quickly. Agility matters here — an effective response must also be an agile response.
In these difficult times, we've made a number of our coronavirus articles free for all readers. To get all of HBR's content delivered to your inbox, sign up for the Daily Alert newsletter.
After unprecedented lockdowns and restrictions to flatten the curve of Covid-19 infection, business and government leaders are wrestling with the question of when and how to ease them. Various approaches are being tried, and there are wide differences of opinion. Much of the broader debate is polarized, as if only two conditions exist — "closed" or "open." The stakes couldn't be higher. If there were ever a time for rational decision making, it is now. Leaders should apply three principles to what may be the most consequential decision of their careers.
Be clear about the objective.
Charles Kettering, who invented the electric starter for automobiles in the early 20th century, famously said, "A problem well-stated is a problem half-solved." The starting point for any reopening decision — for a country, state, community, or business — must begin with its objective. The objective must be reasonable and achievable, and actions must focus on achieving it. The U.S. lockdown was initially framed as "15 days to slow the spread" and prevent overwhelming the limited capacity of health systems.
Coronavirus: Leadership and Recovery
Leadership & Managing People Book
Policymakers judged that objective to be sensible at the time, and worth its costs — even if it took longer than planned. Having achieved that goal, what should be next? Extreme objectives don't appear reasonable at this point; just as there is no way to eliminate all risk of Covid-19 transmission, there is no way to quickly and fully restore economic activity. Likewise, continuing the current lockdowns for 18 months while we wait for a vaccine as some have called for is not practical either. And removing all restrictions could create a second wave. And so on.
Objectives for reopening must balance multiple and competing considerations. Clear thinking here will go a long way toward helping frame sensible action choices. Decision scientists call these "saddle point" problems, which typically involve minimizing one quantity and maximizing another. For example, an objective could be "to minimize Covid-19 impact while maximizing non-Covid-19 health outcomes" (e.g., ensuring people receive treatment for other conditions). Or it could be "to minimize deaths from Covid-19 while maximizing preservation of employment." Framing the question precisely, as Kettering reminds us, is the first step toward a clear solution.
Apply granularity.
In comparing U.S. military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, General David Petraeus said in 2010: "We have never had the granular understanding of local circumstances in Afghanistan that we achieved over time in Iraq. One of the key elements in our ability to be agile in Iraq during the surge was a pretty good understanding of who the power brokers were in local areas, how the systems were supposed to work, how they really worked." The initial Covid-19 responses have involved the broadest, bluntest instrument possible: mass shelter-in-place restrictions. Yet the impact of Covid-19 has been anything but uniform.
There are striking granular differences across geographies and highly compartmentalized impacts within population/demographic groups and professional/occupational cohorts.
As of May 3, the top 5 U.S. states by case count made up 54% of total cases and 62% of deaths. The top 10 U.S. counties alone had nearly 30% of cases and 32% of deaths. The bottom 10 states taken together had less than 1% of total cases. As widely reported, Covid-19 is most fierce when it strikes older people and those with chronic health conditions, while it largely spares the young. The death rate for a 70-year old is estimated to be 40 times that of a 35-year old.
Granular problems usually call for granular solutions — solutions that focus resources and interventions specifically and in a highly targeted way. There are many solution choices (between very open and very closed) that can be applied in different ways in different settings (e.g., different geographies, different cohorts, different circumstances). Sweden's approach to isolating old populations and largely avoiding lockdowns is one example; Italy's approach to quarantining Lombardy early is another, as was China's decision to isolate the city of Wuhan.
So far, the most significant Covid-19 outbreaks have occurred in places with high density and high contact rates between people. These are places where "community spread" has occurred — think New York City and Milan. Although geography is most often thought of at a country or state/province level, granularity applies to cities, communities, neighborhoods, campuses, and even individual buildings or parts of buildings (think elevators vs. individual offices): all can exhibit different densities and contact rates. A full commercial flight has a high density and contact rate as does a crowded Apple store.
Epidemiologists believe that Covid-19 spreads primarily through close contact with an infected person (who may be asymptomatic). Spread occurs in an interaction involving two or more people. A ride in an Uber, a visit to the grocery store, or a visit to the hair salon are all examples of interactions. A granular approach to reopening must consider the most common interactions and the risk associated with each — which is related to the intensity of the interaction and the number of people involved. High-intensity interactions increase the risk that an infected person transmits the virus; a larger number of people increases the likelihood that someone in the group is infected and increases the risk of transmission to more than one person in the group. Increase the number of people and the possible routes of transmission multiply: with 2 people, there are only 2 possible transmissions; with 3 there are 6; with 4 there are 12. This fact alone means that a tattoo studio or pet groomer, following appropriate guidelines, creates far less risk than a crowded flight does.
The power of the granular approach is in helping systematically understand the various interactions that a geography, community, or business faces, assessing their risk, and identifying ways to either reduce intensity (e.g., through better masks), or reducing the number of people involved in the interaction (e.g., increasing distance, creating split teams in the workplace).
Build the capacity to learn and adapt quickly.
There is still much we don't know about Covid-19, but we are learning more every day. When faced with profound uncertainty, decision makers often fall into the trap of inaction, waiting for more information to emerge, or the trap of abandoning analytical rigor altogether — basing decisions on gut instinct. Neither is helpful. Inaction is a form of action. While no analysis can provide perfect certainty at this point, decision makers need a clear-headed assessment of the current facts on Covid-19, and an understanding of the critical uncertainties and their importance. Both are needed to frame the objective well and develop good solutions.
And given the uncertainty, equally important is building the capacity to learn and adapt quickly: to monitor progress against the objective, assimilate new information and learning as it emerges, and refine and evolve decisions accordingly. Importantly, this is a capability to put in place, not a task to complete.
The situation now is highly fluid, and the coming weeks will be marked by much experimentation and learning around which reopening strategies work well and which don't: better tools, better practices, better solutions will all ultimately emerge. There are 200 country-wide experiments going on now, and in the U.S. alone, more than 100 experiments are taking place across 50 states and in multiple cities. One initiative worth tracking is the collaboration between New Zealand, Austria, and five other countries that are banding together in re-opening as a way to jointly build business ties and tourism among themselves. Learning from these experiments, and from the granular outliers — both good and bad — is essential. Leaders must be able to cut through the noise of daily statistics and headlines to understand these experiments and decide how to apply learnings to their own settings. Well-designed experiments — with specific hypotheses to test, data gathered, and results monitored — will maximize what we can learn. A fundamental challenge is the lack of a shared set of assumptions and a common language. Establishing these early will accelerate progress.
General Petraeus described how granular insight and learning enabled agility during the surge in Iraq. Agility matters here, too: an effective response must also be an agile response.

Jerome Stern, a venture capitalist, was a dedicated art collector who owned a stunning home in Quiogue.
Stern, founder and longtime supporter of The Israel Museum, New Museum, and Studio Museum Harlem, in addition to the Hampton Synagogue in Westhampton Beach, had an impressive art collection. The barn is 36-feet high, 7500 square feet, and has four main galleries. Set just 25 yards from the stunning main house, it's surrounded by forest, leaving the building camouflaged into the landscape, giving even more privacy to the estate. It has served as a private gallery for the family, though they did open it up to tours from museums in the city and for benefits. It could also be used as a garage or guest home.
The main house, with a bay view, features 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, while a two-bedroom, three-bath guesthouse sits off the main driveway. The waterfront property has 16 acres of space, with a 50-foot pool, pavilion, and tennis court.
Beauty meets efficiency in this offering from Town & Country on the outskirts of East Hampton Village.
The builder's own custom home, designed and built by Forst Construction, Inc. in conjunction with Fleetwood and McMullan, LLC, is Certified Green to a gold level. It is Energy Star rated, with extremely low utility bills. Hurricane glass protects this traditional 3000-square-foot retreat. It is on the market for the first time.
"We wanted a traditional home that took into account the grade change of the property, which allowed the lower level to be on grade as a walkout, maximizing all levels and the southern exposure, which allowed us to maximize the solar PV system," according to Forst.
Three levels of open living include three ensuite bedrooms, top of the line kitchen, custom cabinets with marble and granite tops throughout, radiant heat, central air, security with smart home technologies, wood burning stove, and wood floors.
It is sustainably built with low maintenance products, exceeding even today's current building codes. On the roof resides 16,000 kilowatts of solar PV, which minimizes the PSEG bill and lowers property taxes. In addition, there is more solar, the solar hot water produces 50 to 80 percent of the heat, hot water for the house, and helps heat the pool minimizing the gas bill.

Zn hyperaccumulating plants reach Zn concentrations in their leaves that are several hundredfold higher than the target values set for Zn-biofortified crops.
This extreme trait is relevant for Zn biofortification in various ways that are being discussed based on what is known about Zn hyperaccumulating plants.
First, Zn hyperaccumulation is the result of changes in metal homeostasis networks shared by all higher plants. It is not strictly dependent on high Zn levels in the soil. Thus, mechanistic insights gained from the study of Zn hyperaccumulators can support the breeding and engineering of Zn-biofortified crops. Second, certain plant families, the Brassicaceae in particular, appear to be genetically predispositioned to evolve enhanced Zn accumulation, suggesting the existence of intermediate species with elevated Zn concentrations in their leaves below the hyperaccumulation threshold or the potential to breed for such plants. This calls for extended screening especially among potential vegetable crops, ideally guided by knowledge about the at least partially convergent evolution of Zn hyperaccumulation. Third, the introduction of leafy vegetables with high Zn concentrations or even of Zn hyperaccumulator leaves into diets may represent a valid complementary biofortification approach.
I am grateful to Mark Aarts for discussions and to Hassan Ahmadi for the A. halleri picture. Work in the author's laboratory on Zn hyperaccumulation is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (CL 152/9-2).

In 2015, China banned harvesting organs from executed prisoners, ending a practice long criticized by the international community. Since then, citizens' voluntary donation of organs has become the only legitimate source for organ transplants in China. How has the reform been working?
Chinese health officials shared the country's organ donation principals with international experts at a conference in Beijing.
"China's regulations, systems and standards for organ transplantation have been brought in line with WHO guiding principals," Director General of WHO Margaret Chan said.
In the first nine months of this year, China completed nearly 3,000 organ donations, marking a 50 percent increase from the same time last year. Now, China's annual number of organ donations ranks first in Asia, and third in the world after the United States and Brazil.
"We did an online survey with more than 41,000 respondents. Forty-five percent of them said they were willing to become organ donors. The remaining 55% said they still know little about our system. They don't trust us yet. They need a sound legal system. They need an end to organ trading," Huang Jiefu, director of China Organ Donation & Transplantation Committee, said.
In addition to technical challenges, organ donation and transplantation face social, ethical and legal issues. The question is: Who has priority to receive an organ?
