Please find below a set of FAQs, if you can't what you're looking for please contact the Registry.
Will the IOMAR require Underwater Locating Device (ULD) to operate for 90 Days?
Not yet. The Isle of Man Legislation is undergoing a review this year, which will naturally include the ICAO SARPs.
Following the review, any proposed changes to our legislation will be available for consultation.
If the Registry decides to adopt the guidance included in Appendix 2.3 of Annex 6 Part II regarding the underwater locating device of a non-deployable flight recorder operating for a minimum of ninety days, any new regulation will include a suitable timeframe to allow operators to comply with the requirement.
Are digital certificates classed as originals?
Yes. The IOMAR issues CofA and CofR in electronic/digital form, therefore they are the original version. (If the CofA or CofR is printed from the digital file, the printed copy is not the original. However, hard copy certificates are available from IOMAR on request.)
ICAO does not specific the medium in which the certificates must be issued, they only state that the certificate is the original. In the days when the certificates were produced on typewriters, the typed copy was the original. Almost all certificates are now produced electronically, the electronic/digital certificates are technically the original.
Does IOMAR have FDM requirements?
No. At present there are no flight data monitoring requirements in the IOM civil aviation legislation for M-reg aircraft.
Information regarding when FDR/CVR should be used and the preservation thereof can be found under Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order 2015, Part 16 Section 86 and 87 respectively. This document also lists the required equipment in Schedule 3 on page 89 and scale P and S and this may be relevant for you.
Further information can be obtained from Registry Publication 9 Airworthiness Management Information, section 5 refers to CVR/FDR calibration and readout.
What are the additional requirements for a large and turbojet aircraft?
An operator of a large and turbojet aircraft must comply with the requirements of Part 17A of the Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order 2015 as amended.
Articles 99B requires the operator to have a Company Operations Manual (COM), including a Safety Management System (SMS), Article 99E to implement a Fatigue Risk Management Programme (FRMP), and Article 99I to have a Maintenance Control Manual (MCM).
The Registry will not approve the COM or MCM so do not need to be submitted to the Registry; but may be requested by us at some time in the future in the event of an occurrence or incident investigation by the Registry or as part of the IOMARs safety oversight programme.
To assist Operators in preparing the Company Operations Manual and accompanying Maintenance Control Manual, the Registry has produced a Company Operations Manual Template and Maintenance Control Manual Assistance document, please refer to RP 56.
It is important to note that the SMS and FRMP are proportionate and relevant to size, complexity and scope of the operation of the aircraft.
In order to comply with the IOM Legislation, these must be in place before any flight.
Are there IOM Requirements for emergency door markings?
No. The Isle of Man national requirements do not require a contrasting line around the emergency exit door(s).
The IOMAR is aware that some manufacturers do include this requirement within the aircraft TCDS.
Consequently if this is contained within the Aircraft type EASA/FAA/TC/ANAC TCDS, and as all items within the TCDS must be complied with, then this will need to be actioned in accordance with the relevant EASA/FAA/TC/ANAC Certification Specification (CS 23- small aircraft) or (CS 25- large aircraft).
Does my Fatigue Risk Management System to cover sub contractors?
No. Operators of large and turbojet aircraft are required to establish and implement a fatigue risk management programme that ensures that personnel involved in the operation and maintenance of aircraft do not carry out their duties when fatigued (refer to Article 99E of the Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order 2015 as amended). This varies from the ICAO requirement in that it does not state 'operator personnel' but only 'personnel'.
The IOM Aircraft Registry's policy in this particular context is that the word 'personnel' is limited to personnel directly employed by the International GA Operator and is not intended to included personnel employed by organisations that the operator has contracted with to perform operational and maintenance functions. However, operators are responsible for managing risks to their operations, and may address the issue of fatigue of contractor personnel, as part of their normal SMS activities.
The link below will access the IBAC/ICAO/Flight Safety Foundation 'Fatigue Management Guide for General Aviation Operators of Large and Turbojet Aeroplanes' which has been published to provide general aviation aeroplane operators with information on the nature of fatigue and guidance on managing the risks related to this hazard within a general aviation operators' safety management system.
https://flightsafety.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/FM-for-GA-Ops-FINAL.pdf
Flight Data Analysis: in which case does the IOMAR request a Flight Data Analysis programme?
No. There is no requirement under Isle of Man civil aviation legislation for an operator of an 'M' registered aircraft to have a Flight Data Analysis programme.
What are the IOMAR requirements on flight time and duty time?
The IOM Aircraft Registry do not approve the operations manual (OM) (which of course will incorporate the fatigue risk management programme as per Article 99E (2) of the Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order 2015 as amended). It is the operators' responsibility to ensure the OM meets both the regulatory requirements and the specific needs of their operation.
We reserve the right to request a copy or part thereof of the Operations Manual and/or any other of the operator's flight operational documentation as part of our continuing oversight monitoring programme or in the case of a specific event involving the aircraft.
The Isle of Man regulatory requirements on flight time and duty time are contained in the Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order 2015:
Fatigue of crew – responsibilities of crew
81.—(1) A person must not act as a member of the crew of an aircraft registered in the Isle of Man if the person know or suspect that he or she is suffering from or, having regard to the circumstances of the flight to be undertaken, is likely to suffer from, such fatigue as may endanger the safety of the aircraft or of its occupants.
(2) A person must not act as a member of the flight crew of an aircraft to which this article applies without first ensuring that the operator of the aircraft is aware of the person's flight times during the period of 28 days preceding the flight.
Flight times – responsibilities of flight crew
82.—(1) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), a person must not act as a member of the flight crew of an aircraft registered in the Isle of Man if, at the beginning of the flight, the aggregate of all that person's previous flight times—
(a) during the period of 28 consecutive days expiring at the end of the day on which the flight begins exceeds 100 hours; or
(b) during the period of twelve months expiring at the end of the previous month exceeds 900 hours.
(2) This article does not apply to a flight that is a private flight in an aircraft that has a maximum total mass authorised of not more than 1600 kg.
(3) A person may act as a member of the flight crew on a private or aerial work flight where the operator does not hold a national air operator's certificate if, at the time when the flight begins, the aggregate of all the flight times of the member of the flight crew concerned since last being medically examined and found fit is not more than 25 hours.
and also the 2016 amendment: (applicable to operators of 'M' registered large and turbojet aircraft)
Fatigue risk management programme
99E.—(1) The operator of an aircraft must establish and implement a fatigue risk management programme that ensures that personnel involved in the operation and
maintenance of aircraft do not carry out their duties when fatigued.
(2) The operator must include the programme in the company operations manual in respect of the aircraft.
Please refer to Industry Notice 020 which clarifies the scope of applicability for fatigue risk management programmes.
IBAC/ICAO/Flight Safety Foundation 'Fatigue Management Guide for General Aviation Operators of Large and Turbojet Aeroplanes' has been published to provide general aviation aeroplane operators with information on the nature of fatigue and guidance on managing the risks related to this hazard within a general aviation operators' safety management system. The guide can be accessed via this link.
How do i get a SELCAL Code?
In terms of the SELCAL code, an application form will need to be completed on behalf of the aircraft and sent to ASRI, (Aviation Spectrum Resources Inc,). They function as the International SELCAL Registrar on behalf of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This includes responsibility for the worldwide assignment of SELCAL codes and management of the SELCAL database. The link below will take you to the ASRI web page where you can complete and send off an application form for a SELCAL code.
https://www.asri.aero/
How do I get approval for a paperless cockpit?
Please follow the IOMAR EFB approval process, as detailed on our EFB web page.
I use eCharts on the IFIS, does this constitute an Installed EFB?
Yes, fully integrated eCharts, performance calculations and also weight and balance calculation functions are considered as an Installed EFB and when used operationally they require approval for use on an M-Reg aircraft. Visit our EFB page for more information.
Can I carry out base training on an M registered aircraft?
The pilot under training (PUT) must be currently/due to be employed by the owner/operator of the aircraft. All base training must be conducted with a fully constituted crew as required by the AFM/RFM.
The fully constituted crew must hold appropriate type rating and be validated by the IOM to operate the aircraft. The pilot in command must also hold a type rating instructor (TRI) privilege (and in the case of an EASA TRI, under the control of an appropriately approved ATO).
Once the base training has been successfully completed by the PUT and the type rating added to their licence, a flight crew licence validation can then be applied for from the IOMAR.
The Registry would suggest that you notify the authority in whose airspace the training will take place to confirm that they have no objection to the flights.
In addition, the operator should confirm with their insurance company that their policy covers the use of the aircraft for the base training to be carried out.
Do I need to carry Cosmic Radiation Monitoring Equipment if I fly over 49,000ft?
Yes, Scale W in the Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order as amended (ANO) applies to all aircraft flying over 49,000ft.
The requirements for protecting air crew from cosmic radiation are contained in Article 83 of the ANO.
The requirements for monitoring and recording cosmic radiation are contained in Article 85 of the ANO.
Please note that the ANO will be undergoing a review against the ICAO SARPS and the requirements for cosmic radiation monitoring equipment may change in the new legislation. The new ANO will be subject to consultation at the appropriate time.
"Scale W
(1) Subject to paragraph (2), cosmic radiation detection equipment calibrated in millirems per hour and capable of indicating the action and alert levels of radiation dose rate.
(2) An aircraft is not required to carry the equipment if—
(a) before take-off the equipment is found to be unserviceable and it is not reasonably practicable to repair or replace it at the aerodrome of departure;
(b) the radiation forecast available to the commander of the aircraft indicates that hazardous radiation conditions are unlikely to be encountered by the aircraft on its intended route or any planned diversion from that route. "
Does the Company Operations Manual need to be in the name of the operator?
Yes, the Company Operations Manual (COM), Maintenance Control Manual (MCM) and Journey Log (Tech Log) must be in the name of the operator and not the management company.
Where a management company serves multiple operators with a single COM, MCM etc. please contact the Registry to discuss.
Will the Registry adopt the halon replacement strategy proposed by ICAO, Annex 6, Operation of Aircraft, Part II?
The Isle of Man Legislation is undergoing a review this year, which will naturally include the ICAO SARPs.
If the Registry decides to adopt the halon replacement strategy proposed by ICAO, Annex 6, Operation of Aircraft, Part II, any new regulation will include a suitable timeframe to allow operators to comply with the requirement.
Tech logs and Journey logs, do I need them?
At present there is no requirement for a Tech log.
However, there is a requirement for a Journey log, in accordance with the Air Navigation (Isle of Man) Order 2015 as amended, Article 52a (3)(e) requires any observations recorded during the flight are recorded.
All defects or possible defects should be recorded in the observations section of the journey log when they become evident. They should then be transferred on to maintenance paperwork for maintenance personnel involvement and where appropriate deferred in accordance with the MEL.
The system that ensures the maintenance and operational status of the aircraft is managed and controlled can be either in hard copy or by electronic means. The Registry does not publish guidance specifically covering this subject; it is the operators' responsibility to ensure the regulations are complied with and the processes, procedures and documentation are in place ensure the safe operation of the aircraft.

Мохамед Конате (; 12 грудня 1997, Одьєнн) — івуарійський і буркінійський футболіст, нападник клубу «Ахмат» і збірної Буркіна-Фасо.

Клубна кар'єра
Конате Мохамед народився у Кот-д'Івуарі 12 грудня 1997 року. Кар'єру розпочав на батьківщині. Першим клубом форварда стала місцева команда «Денгеле».

На початку 2016 року переїхав до Європи та став гравцем молдавського клубу «Саксан», у якому тренувався та грав у товариських матчах, але на офіційному рівні так і не дебютував.

В останній день літнього трансферного вікна сезону 2016/17 був заявлений за російський клуб «Урал» з Єкатеринбурга . Дебютував за основну команду 17 вересня 2016 року в матчі 7-го туру чемпіонату Росії проти «Анжи» (0:1). 21 вересня забив перший гол за клуб, відзначившись у матчі проти «Челябінська» (3:0) в рамках 1/16 фіналу Кубка Росії. У лютому 2017 року клуб розірвав із ним контракт, чим був незадоволений його агент Дмитро Селюк.

У березні 2017 року Мохамед перейшов до латиського клубу Вищої ліги «Бабіте», зіграв за нього лише одну гру, в якій забив гол, але 22 червня 2017 року рішенням комісії ЛФФ з дисциплінарних справ клуб через грубі порушення спортивної етики було виключено з чемпіонату.

Влітку 2017 року Конате став гравцем молодіжної команди «Кайрата» до кінця сезону, у другому колі якого зіграв 12 ігор та забив три голи у Першій лізі Казахстану.

20 лютого 2018 20-річний форвард підписав контракт на рік з білоруським «Гомелем», причому на зимових зборах на Кіпрі забив гол у контрольній зустрічі зі своїм колишнім клубом «Уралом». Одночасно його намагалися влаштувати до клубу російської Прем'єр-ліги «СКА-Хабаровськ», але зимове трансферне вікно вже зачинилося і РФС 5 березня в реєстрації відмовив. В результаті африканець провів у чемпіонаті Білорусії 12 матчів та забив 2 голи.

Наприкінці червня 2018 року перейшов до вірменського клубу «Пюнік», де провів наступний сезон. 1 червня 2019 року залишив клуб і перейшов у російський «Тамбов». Дебютував за клуб 4 серпня в домашньому матчі з тульським «Арсеналом», вийшовши на заміну на 70-й хвилині замість Михайла Костюкова. 10 серпня в матчі з «Оренбургом» відіграв 68 хвилин і був замінений на Хасана Мамтова.Всього у РПЛ провів 2 матчі і забитими м'ячами не відзначився, провівши в сумі на полі 88 хвилин.

2 вересня 2019 року перейшов до «Хімок», де провів наступні два сезони. 17 травня 2021 року контракт із клубом «Хімки» закінчився і футболіст перейшов у грозненський «Ахмат», підписавши угоду на один сезон, але можливе продовження ще на два роки.

Міжнародна кар'єра
Мохаммед народивсяу Кот-д'Івуарі, але завдяки своєму походженню мав право грати у складі національної збірної Буркіна-Фасо. 9 жовтня 2020 року дебютував у складі цієї збірної у товариській грі проти збірної ДР Конго (3:0). 2 вересня 2021 року він забив свій перший гол за збірну у матчі кваліфікації до чемпіонату світу 2022 року проти Нігеру (2:0).

На початку 2022 року потрапив до заявки збірної на Кубок африканських націй у Камеруні.

"It seems that the authors of the deed belong to the highest aristocracy. Felix Youssoupoff is being named, also Pourichkevitch, and. . . a Grand Duke! . . ."
My heart stood still. I knew that a friendship of long standing existed between the Grand Duke Dimitri and Prince Youssoupoff, who had married the beautiful Princess Irene of Russia, Dimitri's cousin. "Mon Dieu! If only it murmured. Vladimir came back with the same details, and by the end of the evening the name of the Grand Duke Dimitri was in every mouth.
"Where is your son Vladimir? "
"Here, with me ! " I replied, astonished. .
"God be thanked!" she exclaimed. "The report has got about that it was he who killed Rasputin, and that he had been arrested. And I was trembling for you. Good night! Sleep in peace!"
Evidently the rumour had mixed up the half-brothers.
"Yes, by my orders, as he has bad throat trouble and has not been out of his room for a week! "
"What is all this about the reports of the assassination of Rasputin? Who was it killed him? At Mohileff a Count Stenbock was mentioned."
"Come, what is the matter? is it? Speak!"
Scarcely venturing to breathe, I stammered out: "They say it was Felix Youssoupoff' and Pourichkevitch and-and Dimitri! "
The Grand Duke grew so pale that I was afraid. he was going to be ill.
"It isn't possible!" he cried. "I must get back into the train and go and see Dimitri - I must speak with him. He will tell everything to me, his father."
I had all the difficulty in the world to persuade him to have a rest, to change his clothes and to speak with the Grand Duke Dimitri over the telephone, or to make him come to Tsarskoe. As soon as he got to the house, he called up his son and told him to come and see him at once. Dimitri replied that, by orders of the Empress; General NIaximovitch had placed him under arrest in his own palace, and he begged his father to go to St. Petersburg to see him.
It was decided that the Grand Duke and I should go next day to lunch with Dimitri, but that his father should go on ahead of me so as to have a talk tete a tete with him.
I suppose the whole world still recalls the details of this horrible affair, and I want to say as little as possible about it. Young Prince Felix Youssoupoff had been to look for Rasputin and had invited him to a supper party at which the Grand Duke Dimitri, Pourichkevitch, the latter's doctor and an officer named Soukhotine were present. A violent poison had been put into the port and into some little pates. But as this poison did not act, the other guests went upstairs to the floor above and Rasputin remained alone with Youssoupoff... Rasputin was killed by shots from a revolver, his body was carried off in an automobile and thrown into the Neva near the Elaguine bridge. Such an act would be beyond explanation, above all if one is familiar with the laws of hospitality so generally practised and so sacred in Russia, but in this particular case we must look only at the height of the aim in view: the saving of the Sovereigns in their own despite.
Returned to Tsarskoe, of course we could talk of nothing else. My husband confided to me that without questioning. his son as to names and details regarding the act itself, he had asked him what imperative reason had dictated his participation in it. Dimitri admitted to him that the principal aim was to open the Emperor's eyes to the real state of affairs.
"I had hoped," he said, "that the fact of my name being mixed up in this affair would free the Emperor from the difficult task of removing Rasputin from the Court; the Emperor himself did not believe in the divine influence of Rasputin either on his son or on political events; but he realised that to get rid of him would be to create a conflict between the Empress and himself. I had hoped that, freed from Rasputin's influence, the Emperor would range himself on the side' of those who saw in the staretz the original cause of many evils, such as the appointment of incapable Ministers, the influence of occult forces at Court, etc."
My husband now told me of an impression which had just struck him and which coincided with the notions of his son. As I have said above, the Grand Duke had left Mohileff on the Sunday. He had started at about seven o'clock. At about five o'clock that day, he had taken tea with the Emperor and had been struck-without knowing the cause-by the look of serenity and the expression. of happiness on the Emperor's face. The Emperor had been gay and goodhumoured to a degree he had not been for a long time past. It is evident that the Empress was keeping him informed, hour by hour, regarding the tragic event, that he knew all, down to the suspicions which were attaching themselves to Youssoupoff and Dimitri. The Emperor did not breathe a word on the subject to the Grand Duke Paul who, later, explained to himself this smiling attitude of the Sovereign by ascribing it to the inner joy he felt at being at last freed from the presence of Rasputin. Loving his wife too much to go against her wishes, the Emperor was glad that the fates had delivered him from the nightmare which had been weighing on him so heavily.
Three days later, at three in the morning, in the Park of Tsarskoe, near the Arsenal and not far from the Alexandrovskaia Station, took place the burial of Rasputin. The Emperor, the Minister Protopopoff, General Voiekoff, and an officer named Maltzoff, bore the coffin to the grave. The Empress gave way to desperate grief. Thus ended the drama which so many people regarded as a deliverance for the country, and which was only the prelude to the most appalling of tragedies... Later, after the Revolution, when Rasputin's body was disinterred, an American collector bought this ikon at a very high price. It is curious to note that this strange and mystic creature, Rasputin, passed through the four elements-water, earth, fire and wind.


Remember that the PSA must be turned in here on Carmen and also on WEx (Links to an external site.).
At this stage, you have already chosen two possible primary sources that fit within the scope of our course theme and written a paragraph in class summarizing each. Now, using your feedback and The Writer's Companion (especially Chs. 2 and 4), your task will be to choose one of these sources (the one you feel most interested in or that has the most potential for your research project) and write a focused analysis. This will be the primary source you work with throughout the semester.
Below you will find a list of objectives. As you complete the assignment, be sure to refer to these objectives carefully and to consult our textbook, The Writer's Companion.
This assignment should be 700 words, double-spaced, typed in 12-point font, and set to 1" margins.
Make sure you understand the meaning of analysis; according to the authors of The Writer's Companion, analysis is "unraveling a knot, solving a mystery, making something murky clear. To analyze something is to investigate how and why it is the way it is—to seek to understand the way it is working" (2-3). Consider it your job to attempt to define and explain what you see in your primary source. Rather than just answering the question, "What is here?" think about why and how the source uses particular details to communicate something to an audience.
Remember that this analysis should not be a list. Instead of describing everything about the primary source, focus on the most important aspects of your source and begin to interpret it by ascribing meaning to these details.
Start your paper by identifying basic information about the source.
To get started with your analysis, revisit the preliminary work you have with The Method and other techniques from the analytical toolkit.
Peruse the Five Analytical Moves to generate ideas (WC, pgs. 35-52). Brainstorm by breaking the source down into its significant parts and describing those parts in detail, talking about the patterns and connections between them, and, most importantly, making explicit the possible implicit meanings of what you see.
When you begin your analysis, remember to be specific; if the source is text-based (e.g., song lyrics, a selected paragraph from an article, etc.), examine the text line-by-line, teasing out the meanings and implications. If the source is image-based (e.g., a print advertisement), examine all the elements that make up the image or object. This will allow you to observe patterns or connections between elements, and to begin working toward a more informed research question.
At the close of your analysis, end with one or two analytical "research questions" (questions that arise from observations about the source) that you will use to begin thinking more deeply about your topic and to help you find materials for the upcoming Annotated Bibliography and Secondary Source Integration. We will go over how to develop a research question in class to aid you with this last portion of the assignment.


DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — The Ford Mustang has been the best-selling sports car in the United States over the last 50 years, and now, thanks to growth in international markets, the iconic pony car is the most popular sports car in the world, according to Ford analysis of IHS Markit new vehicle registration data in the sports car segment.

Beautifully crafted suspense. Remember Jane Rosenthal's name. With Del Rio, her writing career is about to skyrocket.
Elizabeth Wafler Jane Rosenthal
Jane's first novel!
When Lili Golden's beautiful sister, owner of The Palace of the Blue Butterfly art gallery, disappears in Mexico's enormous capital, Lili abandons her comfortable stateside life to search for her. Soon she finds herself swept into her sister's glittering world . . .
Imagine Tenochitlan, the great Aztec city, the way it looked when the Spaniards first glimpsed it in the year 1519. As they gathered at the causeway leading into the sacred perimeter of the city — now the barrio of Tepito — they stared in wonder at the great pyramids, palaces, marketplaces and canals of this exotic Venetian-like city, the likes of which they had never imagined. Bernal Castillo de Diaz described it this way in his chronicles of the conquest.
And when we saw all those cities and villages built in the water, and other great towns on dry land, and that straight and level causeway leading to Tenochtitlán, we were astounded. These great towns and temples and buildings rising from the water, all made of stone, seemed like an enchanted vision from the tale of Amadis. Indeed, some of our soldiers asked whether it was not all a dream. It is not surprising therefore that I should write in this vein. It was all so wonderful that I do not know how to describe this first glimpse of things never heard of, seen or dreamed of before . . .
And when we entered the city of Iztapalapa, the sight of the palaces in which they lodged us! They were very spacious and well built, of magnificent stone, cedar wood, and the wood of other sweet-smelling trees, with great rooms and courts, which were a wonderful sight, and all covered with awnings of woven cotton.
When we had taken a good look at all this, we went to the orchard and garden, which was a marvelous place both to see and walk in. I was never tired of noticing the diversity of trees and the various scents given off by each, and the paths choked with roses and other flowers, and the many local fruit-trees and rose-bushes, and the pond of fresh water. Then there were birds of many breeds and varieties which came to the pond. I say again that I stood looking at it, and thought that no land like it would ever be discovered in the whole world . . .
This is a well-written, captivating story. Hard to put it down. …
This is a well-written, captivating story. Hard to put it down. Gives good idea about mexican life, at different layers of the population.
Reader Jane Rosenthal
Moctezuma, convinced that Cortez was the feather-serpent god Quetzacoatl returning to claim his rightful place as ruler of all the Mexica lands, marched out to meet him. Accompanied by hundreds of priests, courtiers and soldiers, the Aztec king offered the returning god all the tribute he could think of — pearls, silver, feathers, cotton, slaves and of course cocoa beans. These beans were so prized they were used as currency, and Moctezuma called xocolatl, the beverage derived from them, "the divine drink of the gods."

Have you heard about the #500elephants project yet? Due to poaching, habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, African elephants are being decimated across the continent. Elephants are a keystone species, which means they play a pivotal role in engineering the structure of plant and animal communities within their habitats. When elephant populations are too high, there can be an adverse effect on the surrounding environment so numbers need to be managed. Liwonde National Park and Majete Wildlife Reserve in Southern Malawi both have high populations of elephants and the habitats are near to full capacity. Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve in the North of Malawi, however, is an ideal natural habitat for elephants but is sparsely populated with only 100 animals remaining in the reserve.
What started in July this year is one of the largest and most significant elephant trans-locations in human history, undertaken by African Parks, a non-profit conservation organisation. 500 elephants are being transported approximately 350km from Liwonde and Majete to Nkhotakota. The logistics associated with a trans-location of this scale requires months of intensive planning and preparation. Elephants will be darted by helicopter, retrieved from the field by crane and recovery trucks and will then be kept in a holding facility for a few hours before being released into the larger sanctuary. With the collaboration of Prince Harry as part of his summer conservation work, the project has caught the interest of the world, with wide coverage in the media.
This project is particularly exciting and special for us, as The Tongole Foundation provides charity aid to the local communities living in extreme poverty in Nkhotakota. Blue Forest have always been proud to support The Tongole Foundation, with Director Simon Payne sitting as a trustee for the charity.
As part of our collaboration with the charity, we designed The Tongole Wilderness Lodge – the luxury safari eco-tourism accommodation that provides training opportunities and employment in the local area. Education and the creation of sustainable businesses is key to supporting the local communities, and by doing so, reduces the need for poaching and creates a safer environment for the elephants to thrive in.

About ROSE »
...goes back many years.
ROSE was founded in 1952 by Marie Pedersen, also known as "Hønse Marie", and exactly as back then, Danish ROSE Chicken is slaughtered in Vinderup in West Jutland.
Marie's motto was: "Quality, quality, quality". It was the most important then, and is also the most important today. That's why Danish ROSE Chicken is still bred exactly as Marie would have done it.
Marie Pedersen also known as "Hønse-Marie" established Vinderup Poultry in 1952
The Løth family started in 1956 Skovsgaard Poultry.
In 1999 the two, Vinderup and Skovsgaard Poultry, joint forces into one company named Rose Poultry.
Rose Poultry buys Padborg Poultry, whereby ROSE got even more under her wings.
On November 29, 2010, Rose Poultry was acquired by HKScan Group for DKK 530 million. HKScan is headquartered in Finland.
On April 18, 2011, Padborg poultry closed due to a lack of chickens.
On June 6, 2012 a big fire erupted in our Vinderup department. It was estimated that the fire destryed for 600 million. The fire in June cost nearly 400 employees their job, but most came back after the reconstruction.
One year later, the situation is positively differently. Most of the production has been rebuilt and the number of employees has grown to almost 500.
In 2019 we introduced "Ærlig kylling". 100% chicken and 0% secrets completely in the spirit of Marie. The chicken is not treated with antibiotics, the meat is not added water, and then it's packed in trays of recycled plastic.


Working with the Performing Arts Foundation in our 3rd year, we've seen great growth! With our first season of taking over social media channels for the performing arts foundation, we saw a 82% increase in traffic to their site from social media for ticket purchases.
We started utilizing their created (though not regularly used) Instagram account. With the first season on Instagram we of course saw a large increase of visits to the site from Instagram. This account has been increasing organically.
We started implementing our strategy for Twitter and saw traffic increase by over 700% to their site from this social channel alone. This channel was being used previously, just not efficiently. Our strategy produced great results!
We utilized other online event sources for greater exposure including yelp, local calendars and we incorporated Facebook events in a different strategy for them. Exposure in the local community has increased as the executive director continues creating new experiences for those in the city.
In our 3rd Season with this client we introduced a podcast series. This announcement and launch have generated great response from the community as they look forward to upcoming interviews.
This client has allowed us to continue to push the limits on social media / online content uses and we love seeing where it's taking their online presence!

Post-election walk-out takes 44th Ave in protest of current political climate
By Stephi Smith, Executive Editor

Mountlake Terrace High School students hold signs in protest of this recent election.
About 100 MTHS students, according to Principal Greg Schwab, took to 44th Ave. W outside the school during sixth period in solidarity with a "nationwide walkout" to protest the most recent election, in which Republican candidate Donald Trump was elected president.
Schwab sent out an all-staff email before the walkout to alert staff members and ensure safety for those who would participate. He also noted that any student participating in the walkout would be marked as an unexcused absence using Skyward attendance and that "as a school and district staff, we cannot condone walkouts or other demonstrations that affect the learning environment."
He also said that while MTHS staff cannot condone the walkout, they also know they cannot prevent it.
"I respect the students who exercised their free speech," Schwab said.
Schwab also wrote in the email that safety is the school's primary concern, for those "who do choose to exercise their free speech by walking out," as well as those who face a "fear of reprisal" for those who made the choice not to participate.
The walkout began at approximately 1:30 p.m. with students gathering first outside the Main Office, then outside the front of the school near the parking lot and finally taking it to the crosswalk at 44th Ave. W.
Many students made their own signs, featuring various political messages, including "Love trumps hate," "Students against racism, sexism, homophobia, bigotry" and "Not my president."
The crowd gathered first on just one side of the street, then crossed. Throughout the protest, chants could be heard, such as "We reject the president-elect!"
Senior Jaeda Hawkes stood on an electrical box above the crowd to lead the chants.
"[The students are protesting right now] because this country is living in fear and living in hate and we need to change that," she said.
As the crowd grew, staff and administration stood with the students to ensure nobody was in danger. With more students overflowing the sidewalk, many were pushed to the street, which administrators advised heavily against.
The walkout ended with students either returning to the school or leaving campus to go home.
After school, Schwab followed up with a letter posted to the MTHS website informing student's families of the walkout.
He said that the walkout was held to demonstrate in support of an inclusive school community and that it was an expression of students' free speech rights, which MTHS staff was "obliged to respect."
He also noted that MTHS "continues to be a place of respect for all students and community that is united, despite the national political climate."

"I was born in Medford," says Barbara Dellenback, daughter of John Dellenback, who was an independent-minded Republican representative in the Oregon Legislature and the U.S. Congress who later served as director of the Peace Corps. "I spent many years, from age three until out of high school, in Salem, Oregon, and Bethesda, Maryland," Barbara Dellenback says. After high school in Bethesda, she studied at Willamette University in Salem, at Indiana University and at the University of Oregon. She also waitressed and worked in yarn stores. Dellenback was living in Portland when she met Dave Ouelette, a childhood friend from Medford. "He was best friends with my brothers," she recalls. "We got together at his sister's wedding, and I moved to Eugene, where he was living." They were married in 1987. Three years earlier, she was working at Soft Horizons yarn shop when she began volunteering at public radio station KLCC. "I got hired as Morning Edition host in '85," she notes, and her career in broadcasting was launched. She held that job until the first of her two sons was born in 1988, and she subsequently worked at commercial radio stations and at fundraising for community benefit organizations. "In 1998, I was working for KPNW, across from the old library, when they asked me to be on the library foundation," she says, "right when the board was given the task of raising $6 million for a new library." The new library opened in 2002, and Dellenback continued as executive director of the foundation until she and her family moved back to Medford in 2007. There, she worked at fundraising, hosted Morning Edition for Jefferson Public Radio, and started a new business, Lives Recorded Live, making audio recordings of older folks telling stories for the future enjoyment of their families. She and Dave returned to Eugene in 2017, and she has returned to KLCC as substitute host for NPR news programs and continuing her Lives Recorded Live. She can be reached at bcddco@icloud.com.

Strengthening The Reconciliation Process In Sri Lanka
I am pleased to have been asked to speak today on Reconciliation, at the meeting to mark International Women's Day, because it is clear that women have a great role to play with regard to Reconciliation. Most important perhaps, in today's context, is the need to act as advocates for coherent policies and actions with regard to reconciliation. I must admit to being deeply disappointed that this government, which we welcomed with such hopes, has put reconciliation on the back burner. It cannot assume that healing will come just because of goodwill, just as it cannot assume that prosperity will come to all of us through economic growth. We need concerted action, and that action must be based on carefully prepared plans.
One of the problems though with this government is that it is led by people who avoided the responsibilities of the political offices they held in the last few years. So we have no understanding of good government, because there was no effort to engage, and for instance promote efforts to strengthen Parliament against the encroaching executive. At Consultative Committee meetings with regard for instance to Resettlement, or Public Administration Reforms, members of the Opposition did not turn up, and they did not raise issues that continue to affect those who suffered in the conflict. And now they make platitudinous pronouncements about pursuing reconciliation, but have not set up a dedicated mechanism. They have ignored the work done by the LLRC Action Plan Task Force, they have ignored the draft National Policy on Reconciliation, which can easily be adopted, with amendments if needed. They seem, with no knowledge of mechanics, determined to reinvent the wheel, and are meanwhile content to trundle along on skateboards. Though the recent appointment of a Task Force on Reconciliation is welcome, it would have been better had this occurred as the government was elected, so that work could have commenced at once.
I have sent the head of the Task Force a copy of the draft policy, because, prepared as it was with inputs from the more civilized elements in all political parties, as well as constructive members of Civil Society, it has a lot of suggestions that could easily be taken forward. The last government unfortunately did not want to act because, like ostriches with their heads in the sand, they wanted to claim that there was no problem.
In the Policy we identified three areas for action. Women are particularly important in all three of them, and I will make some suggestions briefly as to all three, and hope that ways of moving forward will emerge in discussion.
The first is Recovery and Equitable Development. Though we poured in cement on the grounds that that would lead to development, we did not take steps to ensure that the people of the area could take advantages of the opportunities that we hoped were being created. Training programmes are minimal in the North, and what is worse is that government is not even aware of this. I complained for ages that nothing was being done about Vocational Training, and finally last year a new and comparatively decent Secretary arranged a meeting where the 101 agencies under his Ministry were to tell me what they were doing. It turned out that lots of work was being done on paper, and they were not aware, having never been to the area, that some centres were closed, others had hardly any students, and the massive training centre built at Mullaitivu was offering very few courses to very few students.
Moving forward though would be so easy, as I found at the five training centres I have set up with my decentralized budget in Mullaitivu and Kilinochchi. But this should be done through a needs assessment, and then there should be training programmes to develop teachers in the subject areas the people want.
In addition there should be micro-credit schemes. Unfortunately there has been no policy of targeting women specially. In one Division I found that credit was no longer available, because none of the loans had been repaid. They had all been given to men. Last week, when the Resettlement Authority came before the Committee on Public Enterprises – with no one from government present apart from myself, and indeed no one from the opposition either for an hour or so – it turned out that they did not have statistics on a gender basis as to the loans they had initiated.
The second area we dealt with was that of Political Participation and Administrative Accountability. Apart from the obvious need to encourage more women to participate in politics, we should also develop community consultation structures where women can play a role, and begin to realize their full potential as socio-political influences. Certainly, at the Reconciliation meetings I held in Divisional Secretariats in the North and East, women contributed significantly, and had a more practical approach to their problems.
In this regard I hope we can entrench the consultation mechanisms which the Ministry of Public Administration tried to institute last year. In addition the Ministry of Child Development and Women's Affairs had set up Women and Children's Desks in each Divisional Secretariat and was preparing duty lists, which would have ensured greater participation of women in monitoring the work of government.
I hope too that we can work swiftly on the new Local Government Act, which I have suggested to the President should be expedited along with the Education Act on which the last government labored for five years with no results. I have already sent him a draft for a new Higher Education Act, and tabled a Constitutional Amendment with regard to Electoral Reform. These were two of the pledged reforms we urged the last President to implement before any election, so I hope that this government will go through with these before the next election.
One of the main points of the new Local Government Bill is to institutionalize Committees for every local authority. The initial draft had these appointed by the authority, but we must make sure they ar composed of representatives of community organizations, and in particular Women's Rural Development Societies. The capacity I have noticed in the last few years in such organizations can be given full play, to ensure that local administration is truly responsive to people's needs, and not to the benefit of politicians.
Finally, the Reconciliation Policy looked at Justice, Truth and Reconciliation. The last government was far too slow about this, though I am glad that they finally appointed a Disappearances Commission. But the mandate of that Commission must be expanded and strengthened, so that it can swiftly implement a process of restorative justice. This is vital for women, who have been the most affected by bereavement, and who need psycho-social as well as economic support to rebuild their lives.
But the Commission should also give up inviestigating possible war crimes, because that requires a different sort of mechanism. I have no doubt that government can move swiftly on this matter, as recommended by the LLRC, on the lines of the work of the Udalagama Commission. Already I would assume Mr Desmond de Silva and his team, whose inputs have been sought by this government too, have clarified the ground so that proceeding with any cases where there is strong evidence can be expedited. I would presume that the work of those experts makes clear that the emotional attacks on the Sri Lankan government and forces are misplaced, but we need to argue that case forcefully, without adopting the ostrich approach. That can only be done if we have credible investigations into those cases where criticism is not misplaced. In particular we must ensure justice for those individuals who, at the end of the trauma to which the LTTE had subjected them, claimed that they were separated from their loved ones who had also survived the ordeal. Those memories must be overcome, and without that reconciliation will be difficult.
I should note again that I have just introduced some ideas for what I hope will be a fruitful discussion. But let me conclude with the Mission and Values that we thought should inform the National Reconciliation Policy –
To ensure that all citizens have equal opportunities without alienation and discrimination of any kind.
To wholeheartedly accept individual identity and respect religious and cultural diversity within a united Sri Lanka, to acknowledge and address the needs and aspirations of all communities residing in the country and to foster a sense of belonging amongst all peoples and communities irrespective of language, ethnicity, race or religion.
To enhance sovereignty of the people at all levels of governance.
To encourage a sense of caring to be shown by the State to all citizens and communities and readiness to acknowledge and address fears and insecurities of all communities.

New evidence emerged Friday that the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico was spreading more broadly than previously thought as BP continued its fitful efforts to stop the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
A day after a research team reported finding a huge plume of oil extending miles east of the leaking BP well, another university scientist said his crew had located another vast plume of oily globs in the opposite direction, in a section of the Gulf 75 miles northwest of where the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20.
James Cowan, a professor at Louisiana State University, said his crew sent a remotely controlled submarine into the water, a section already closed to fishing, and found it full of oily globules, ranging from the size of a thumbnail to the size of a golf ball - "like big, wet snowflakes, but they're brown and black and oily."
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama on Friday paid his second visit to parts of the Gulf Coast affected by the spill, a detour from his Memorial Day weekend visit home to Chicago. The visit was part of a concerted White House effort to push back against critics who have called the administration's response lacking. Obama visited a beach in Port Fourchon in southeastern Louisiana, where tar balls are washing up, and attended a briefing at a Coast Guard station in Grand Isle, a small barrier-island town south of New Orleans.
He reiterated his pledge to do everything in his power to stop the leak and repair the economic and environmental damage. With 20,000 workers in the region for the cleanup, he said he would triple that where oil is reaching shore.
"I'm here to tell you that you are not alone, you will not be abandoned, you will not be left behind," Obama said, flanked by three Gulf Coast governors. "The media may get tired of the story, but we will not. We will be on your side, and we will see this through."
Unlike the plume found east of the leak, in which the oil was so dissolved that contaminated water appeared clear, Cowan said the oil his crew found was so thick that it covered the lights on the submarine, which returned to the surface entirely black. The submarine traveled about 400 feet down, close to the sea floor, and found oil all the way down. Trying to find the edges of the plume, he said, the submarine traveled miles from side to side.
"We really never found either end of it," Cowan said.
BP continued its attempt to stop the leak with the "top-kill" procedure, pumping heavy drilling "mud" into the damaged well shaft, amid questions about whether it was being forthcoming about the process.
In interviews Friday morning, BP officials apologized for not disclosing earlier that they had stopped the pumping procedure much of Thursday out of concern about the mud that was leaking back out. But they said the process was again showing signs of success along with "junk-shot" injections into the wellhead of heavier material, such as rubber.
Later Friday, it emerged that BP had stopped the pumping operation again early Friday morning. The pumping resumed in the afternoon, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said.

and here's a bit from the review in case you don't want to click over and read the whole thing.
An interesting take on a time period in the not so distant past, "Ostrich Mentality" is an eye-opening tale with a colorful cast. Despite being 316 pages, the reader will fly through this fast-paced novel, immersed in its intelligent suspense. The fact that this novel is not far from the truth gives the story a sinister feel. Overall, "Ostrich Mentality" is an engaging work of espionage and biological warfare.
Did I convince you yet? Don't make me use my international spy skills on you.
Okay, okay, how about this? I'll make Ostrich Mentality free again today. Go download and check it out. Then head over to the RONE Suspense/Thriller category and click the little button next to my name.


According to Palestinian terrorist groups, the terrorist, Khalil Jabarin, decided to murder a Jew in response to Israeli "crimes" against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular and Islamic holy sites in general. Needless to say, there is no Israeli plan to allow Jews to pray inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The statements made by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirm that there is a direct link between Abbas's false charge against Israel and the murder of the Israeli-American citizen.
Abbas's latest fabrication is directly responsible for the murder of Ari Fuld, stabbed to death by a terrorist who actually believed Abbas's lies about a purported Israeli scheme to split the Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews.
In a speech before the PLO Executive Committee in Ramallah on September 15, Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas repeated the old libel that Israel was planning to establish special Jewish prayer zones inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Abbas claimed that Israel was seeking to copy the example of the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, where Jews and Muslims pray in different sections.
Abbas did not say what his lie was based on. He also did not provide any evidence of Israel's ostensible plot against the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He said, nevertheless, that the Palestinians, together with Jordan, were planning to bring this issue before the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
Abbas's allegation was quickly picked up by several media outlets in the Arab world, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The headlines that appeared on websites affiliated with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the second largest terrorist group in the Gaza Strip, claimed that Israel is planning to permit Jews to pray inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Needless to say, there is no Israeli plan to allow Jews to pray inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque. However, in the past few years Jews, like all other non-Muslims, have been allowed to resume their perfectly legal visits to the Temple Mount. Thousands of Jews have toured the holy site under police protection, despite provocations and violent attacks by Muslims. It is worth noting that any kind of prayer of "religious displays" by Jews or Christians anywhere on the Temple Mount are completely forbidden by the Israel Police.
Why is Abbas's false accusation significant and dangerous? Hours after reports were published of Abbas's allegation, a 17-year-old Palestinian from the town of Yatta in the southern West Bank fatally stabbed Ari Fuld, a 45-year-old Israeli-American citizen and father of four, in a shopping center in Gush Etzion, south of Bethlehem.
According to Palestinian terrorist groups, the terrorist, Khalil Jabarin, decided to murder a Jew in response to Israeli "crimes" against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in particular and Islamic holy sites in general.
In other words, the terrorist was influenced by Abbas's incitement, and this is why he decided to set out on his deadly mission. There is no doubt that the terrorist saw the reports quoting Abbas's claim that Israel was planning to allow Jews to pray inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Palestinian terrorist groups were quick to establish a connection between the murder of Fuld and Abbas's remarks.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group, for example, noted in a statement that the stabbing attack was a "natural response to Zionist terrorism committed by aggression and crimes against our people, our lands and our holy sites."
Hamas, for its part, said that the terrorist attack came in response to Israeli "violations" against the Al-Aqsa Mosque. "We welcome this heroic attack and affirm that harming Al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line," said Hamas senior official Husam Badran in a statement. "This operation is in response to what Israel is planning to do in Al-Aqsa Mosque."
The statements made by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad confirm that there is a direct link between Abbas's false charge against Israel and the murder of the Israeli-American citizen. The terrorist groups are indirectly saying that Jabarin decided to murder a Jew because his president, Abbas, told him and the rest of the world that Israel was planning to create special Jewish prayer areas inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Abbas's false claim was not the first libel of its kind.
"The Al-Aqsa [Mosque] is ours, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is ours, and they have no right to defile them with their filthy feet. We will not allow them to, and we will do everything in our power to protect Jerusalem."
"We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem. This is pure blood, clean blood, blood on its way to Allah. With the help of Allah, every shaheed (martyr) will be in heaven, and every wounded will get his reward."
Shortly after Abbas's remarks, Palestinians launched a wave of stabbing and vehicular attacks as part of what they called the "Jerusalem Intifada," or the "Knife Intifada," in which hundreds of Israelis have been murdered and injured.
Abbas and his Palestinian Authority have since continued to incite Palestinians against Israel by claiming that Jews were "violently storming and invading" the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
This claim, of course, is also false because the Jews touring the Temple Mount have never set foot inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Jews and Christians are not even allowed to pray anywhere on the Temple Mount. In fact, Jews who are spotted praying, singing, bowing down, closing their eyes or crying during the tours are often arrested by the Israel Police.
Abbas, however, will not allow anyone to confuse him with the facts. He lives in his own dreamed-up world where he continues to spread lies and incite against Israel. Abbas's latest fabrication is directly responsible for the murder of Ari Fuld, stabbed to death by a terrorist who actually believed Abbas's lies about a purported Israeli scheme to split the Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews.
It is high time for the international community to see that Abbas's anti-Israel incitement is what is driving Palestinians to grab a knife and set out to stab the first Jew they meet. The blood of Ari Fuld, among many others, is all over Abbas's hands.
One is without words for such constant barbarism towards innocent people. Ari Fuld leaves behind a wife and 4 children, a heart rending situation for the family.
Constantly we hear of people being run over and stabbed, wonder why is this not in the world news along with American mass shootings, floods and boats sinking. The BBC and allied broadcasters would do well to report honest and fact filled items on daily attacks on innocent Israeli citizens??? So much fake and politically engendered news.
If Fuld had lived, right now he would be under arrest and charged with murdering an unarmed terrorist who was running away. Likewise if it had been an Israeli solder who was stabbed. How screwed up is that?
Abbas should be prosecuted for having incited this violence, and sued for millions of dollars. Politicians should not be exempt from taking responsibility for the influence of their words and actions. On the contrary, there should be no statute of limitations on their incitements.
Much if this might have been stopped long ago if it were not for the left wing Democratic Party and the Jews in it that protect terrorists to get votes.
Nothing unusual -- it happens every day. What else would anyone expect? A limited degree of terrorism (enough to keep things stirred-up, but not to the point where Israel comes into their territory and crushes all the terrorist groups) is part of the game, and it's a part Abbas's job to help promote it by inciting the weak-minded to participate.
When is enough, enough? What possible event could turn the head of the indoctrinated Muslim away from the vitriolic words of the Koran and its false prophet? Israel needs to make the case to the world that as a democracy, it has tried for 60 years to integrate the Muslim population into the dynamic success of Israel. With very few exceptions, it has not worked.
How long will the Jews of Israel have to endure the impossible?
"Be strong and firm, fear not, nor be terrified by them, for the eternal thy God he it is that does go with thee."
I am often puzzled by the behavior of Israel. Israel continues appeasing its worst enemies making mistake after mistake. Islam can only understand the position of strength, not appeasement, which works against the appeaser. The only goal of Arabs calling themselves Palestinians is a complete annihilation of the Jewish state. No matter how many concessions Israel would make, the so-called international community will continue blaming it simply for it being the country of Jews. When is Israel going to stop this liberal attitude and think rather of its own survival than of placating those who openly want its demise? Every concession results into terror against the Israeli people. It is better to care of its people than of the opinion of the so-called "international community", which remains hostile anyway.
The Left has allied itself with their fellow totalitarian Islamists! Birds of a feather!
Don't hold your breath waiting for the international community to do anything.
"We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem. This is pure blood, blood, clean blood, blood on its way to Allah." But how is this possible? After all, Islam is a "religion of peace", isn't it? Or, who knows, maybe it is not. But then again, apparently there are still many in the West, including the Pope, as it seems, unwilling to open their eyes to the evidence. Question is: how long will this go on?
This is what can happen when you combine a low-knowledge Arab youth with incendiary speech: intentional murder, without any provocation. Sad for the world and especially sad for the Fuld family. My sincere condolences to the Fuld family.
The PLO and Hamas resort to the same lies and smears as the Democrats use to oppose Trump and Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation.
Bassam Tawil states: "It is high time for the international community to see that Abbas's anti-Israel incitement is what is driving Palestinians to grab a knife and set out to stab the first Jew they meet. The blood of Ari Fuld, among many others, is all over Abbas's hands."
The problem is that the international community doesn't want to see this. Do the arithmetic. How many Jews in the world and how many Muslims? It makes no sense for the international community to side with the Jews, does it? I mean forget morality and ethics. They have been replaced by "what's best for me and for us".
I don't know that there is such a thing as an "international community", but organizations like the UN and EU are strongly socialist and pro-Muslim, and don't really care what the Arabs do to the Jews, provided it doesn't rise to the level of a massacre that they feel obligated to respond to. Then their anger would be that they were forced to respond, when they would prefer not to, rather than about whatever atrocities were committed.
If the terrorists were widely condemned, why should they care? They care nothing for the opinion of infidels, only actions. The thing they're concerned about is the continuing flow of the aid money that gives them power, and no one, other than Trump, seems likely to interfere with that.
I wonder how many Jews will still vote Democrat in November? The answer should be none, but far too many will.
I recently read that in pre WWll Germany, the Jews thought that Hitler's Nazi party, being socialists, were going to be a people's party. After Obama threw Israel under the bus, again I was surprised how many American Jews stood behind him. Some people just never learn no matter how often they've been burned.
@ Al You ask how many Jews will vote Democratic in November. I will tell you: about 80% including ME. Mrs. Clinton got 70% of the Democratic vote in 2016 and considering the pure and unadulterated detestation and/or hated of Donald Trump by the overwhelming majority of America's Jews, it will be a lot higher come November.
I think Trump's Middle East policy is good...much better than Obama's...but I am NOT an Israeli nor one of those (usually orthodox) "Super Jews" as are you who put Israel alone over all other issues foreign and domestic. I wouldn't vote for a Trump Republican (and that is what they all are now) if Donald Trump converted to Hasidism and started wearing a yarmulke and tsitsis.
Put that in your Republican pipe and smoke it. Most Jews will not vote for fascists.
First, I am not a Jew. Second, you seem to be unaware that Fascists, like Socialists are left wing, and by voting for the left, Jews are voting for their own destruction. Trump is trying to make life better for all Americans, and he would do a lot more of it if not for ignorant Trump haters.
Those that are either ignorant or just parrots of the Left keep calling President Trump and Republicans fascists. The fascists were National Socialists, they are the Left! Democrats were Nazi allies early on! Know your history! Being to the right of the Communists does not place you on the Right! Socialists and Communists are both part of the Left along with the Islamists!
The blood of every Israeli murdered by PA Islamic terrorists is Abbas's and the preachers in every mosque, the Islamic sacred texts "A Jews is hiding behind me... go and kill him." Killing Jews in the land of Israel, The Jewish State of Israel is an intrinsic part of the religion of Islam.
And .. yet , Americans cannot get rid of the vain illusion that a deal can be made with him that you can deter him, teach him lessons, change him, bribe him or threaten him. He even didn't meet the only condition required from him--to cease paying compensation money for terror.

2112 – czwarty album studyjny kanadyjskiego tria progresywnego Rush wydany przez Mercury Records 1 kwietnia 1976 roku.

Uważa się, że na tym albumie zespół wykształcił swoje charakterystyczne brzmienie i postawił krok w kierunku rocka progresywnego. Płytę otwiera 20-minutowy, podzielony na siedem rozdziałów dystopijny utwór "2112", skomponowany przez Geddy'ego Lee i Alexa Lifesona. Tekst napisał Neil Peart, inspirując się nowelą Anthem Ayn Rand.

Album odniósł duży sukces, otrzymując pozytywne oceny od krytyków muzycznych oraz sprzedając się w liczbie przekraczającej 3 miliony egzemplarzy, stając się pierwszą płytą zespołu, która otrzymała status platynowej w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Płyta uplasowała się również na 61 miejscu na liście Billboard 200.

Utwór 2112 jest dostępny w podstawowej wersji gry Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock oraz jako DLC do gry Rock Band 3.

Kontekst
W związku z komercyjną porażką poprzedniego albumu – Caress of Steel, wytwórnia płytowa próbowała wymusić na zespole nietworzenie kolejnych koncepcyjnych utworów i stworzenie czegoś bardziej komercyjnego, co spotkało się ze sprzeciwem grupy, która uważała, iż słuchacze nie docenili tego albumu. Ostatecznie trio nagrało album nie patrząc na zalecenia wytwórni, w wyniku czego na pierwszej stronie płyty znalazł się ponad 20 minutowy utwór 2112.

Album został nagrany w lutym 1976 roku w Toronto Sound Studios w Toronto, a większość materiału została napisana podczas trasy koncertowej promującej album Caress of Steel. Okładkę albumu zaprojektował grafik Hugh Syme. Przedstawia ona czerwoną gwiazdę na tle gwiazd w kosmosie.

Utwory

2112
 Źródło: Wkładka dołączona do płyty 2112.
Ponad 20 minutowe dzieło, opowiadające o świecie, w którym władzę sprawują kapłani ze świątyń Syrinks. Słowa i historię napisał Neil Peart, który został podświadomie zainspirowany przez amerykańską filozofkę, twórcę filozofii obiektywizmu Ayn Rand, której zadedykował całą płytę. We wkładce dołączonej do albumu, przed tekstem każdej części, opisana jest historia bohatera utworu pisana w stylu pamiętnika.

I Overture
Część instrumentalna, początkowe dźwięki zostały stworzone przy użyciu syntezatora ARP Odyssey. Jedyne zdanie wypowiedziane na końcu części brzmi: "And the meek shall inherit the Earth."/"Błogosławieni cisi, albowiem oni posiądą ziemię." − Jest to odniesienie do Ośmiu Błogosławieństw oraz Psalmu 37.

Bohater żyje w mieście Megadon, uważając, że prowadzi szczęśliwe życie, mieszkając na planecie na której panuje pokój dzięki "Słonecznej Federacji", która po wojnie w 2062 roku zjednoczyła planety które przetrwały, lecz pewnego dnia znajduje coś co całkowicie odmienia jego życie – gitarę sprzed czasów Federacji. Bohater podpisuje się jako Anonim, 2112.

II The Temples of Syrinx
Druga część opowiada o Kapłanach Syrinks, którzy mają władzę nad każdym aspektem życia ludzi dzięki komputerom. Głoszą: "Troszczymy się o wszystko, o słowa które słyszysz, o pieśni które śpiewasz". Lecz ich troska o jednostkę jest iluzoryczna, nie tolerują indywidualności i kreatywności, które nie są zgodne z ich planem.

Część gatunkowo zalicza się do hard rocka, śpiewana jest charakterystycznym wysokim głosem Geddy'ego Lee.

III Discovery
Bohater znajduje gitarę w jaskini za wodospadem. Uczy się ją stroić i grać. Jest zachwycony jak inna jest muzyka którą tworzy od tej tworzonej w Świątyniach. Postanawia zaprezentować starodawny instrument Kapłanom oczekując wyróżnienia oraz wierząc, iż pozwoli to każdemu tworzyć piękną muzykę.

Discovery zaczyna się słyszalną w tle chlupiącą wodą i strojeniem gitary przez Alexa Lifesona. Przechodzi ono w uderzanie pustych strun i dalej w coraz bardziej skomplikowane i rozbudowane motywy muzyczne ukazując postęp w nauce gry przez bohatera.

IV Presentation
Protagonista prezentuje znaleziony instrument przed Kapłanami, lecz wbrew oczekiwaniom Kapłani są zdenerwowani, iż marnuje się ich cenny czas. Mówią mu że "nie potrzebują starodawnych rzeczy" i że jest to "kolejna zabawka, która pomoże zniszczyć starszą rasę ludzi". Bohater nie wierzy w to co słyszy i bezskutecznie próbuje przekonać Kapłanów do swojej racji. Ojciec Brown kończy prezentację niszcząc gitarę i wypraszając bohatera ostrzegając go aby "nie denerwował ich więcej".

Wokalista i basista Geddy Lee oraz gitarzysta Alex Lifeson naprzemiennie przedstawiają dialog bohatera oraz Kapłanów dzięki stosowaniu różnych środków stylistycznych – Słowa bohatera wyrażone są niskim i ciepłym głosem oraz gitarą graną na czystym kanale. Partie Kapłanów są natomiast ostrzejsze, śpiewane szorstkim, wysokim głosem a gitara jest mocno przesterowana. Część kończy się gitarową solówką.

V Oracle: The Dream
Zrozpaczony bohater "wlecze się do domu pustymi ulicami" i "zapada w niespokojny sen", lecz sądzi on iż jest to wizja, ponieważ "wydaje się bardzo realna". Spotyka wyrocznię, która pokazuje mu obraz świata sprzed panowania Federacji – świat w którym kwitła indywidualność i kreatywność. Po przebudzeniu uważa, iż bez tego jego życie nie ma sensu. Widzi także że "starsza rasa" nie została zniszczona lecz opuściła planetę dawno temu aby w przyszłości wrócić i obalić Kapłanów i ich Świątynie.

VI Soliloquy
Bohater powraca do jaskini w której znalazł gitarę i siedzi w niej "od wielu dni". Rozmyśla nad swoim "zimnym i pustym życiem" Odbiera sobie życie, ponieważ uważa, iż tylko w ten sposób może ujrzeć świat z jego snu. Kończy swoje zapisy słowami: "Moja dusza utopiona w głębi rozpaczy, moje życie – Przelewa się".

VII Grand Finale
Utwór kończy się hard rockowym riffem, podobnie jak część pierwsza Overture, jest to część instrumentalna, z jednym zdaniem powtarzanym na końcu: "Uwaga wszystkie planety Słonecznej Federacji! Przejęliśmy kontrolę!", z czego można odczytać, iż "Starsza Rasa" obaliła Kapłanów oraz "Słoneczną Federację" i odzyskała planetę.

Pozostałe utwory
Powieść Droga do Indii Edwarda Morgana Forstera zainspirowała Neila Pearta do nadania jednemu z utworów tytułu A Passage to Bangkok. Utwór opowiada o podróży dookoła świata w poszukiwaniu marihuany. Alex Lifeson wskazał utwór Kashmir grupy Led Zeppelin jako główna inspiracja przy pisaniu muzyki do A Passage to Bangkok.

Neil Peart napisał The Twilight Zone pod wpływem serialu Strefa mroku, którego był fanem. Opowiada on o fantastycznej wyprawie w "czwarty wymiar".

Lessons jest jednym z nielicznych utworów, które Alex Lifeson napisał oraz skomponował całkowicie sam. Charakteryzuje się on enigmatycznym tekstem, i jest w tonacji A-dur, która w refrenie zmienia się w E-dur.

Słowa do Tears napisał Geddy Lee. Jest to pierwszy utwór Rush, w którego nagrywaniu wziął udział ktoś spoza tria: Hugh Syme – grafik, który tworzy graficzne projekty okładek dla zespołu, zagrał w utworze na melotronie.

Neil Peart w swojej książce Traveling Music napisał, że pomysł do napisania Something for Nothing podsunął mu napis na ścianie w Los Angeles: "Freedom isn't free"/"Wolność nie jest za darmo".

Odbiór albumu
Album otrzymał pozytywne opinie od krytyków, lecz chwalona była głównie pierwsza strona płyty: Utwór 2112. 2112 to album który po raz pierwszy został zauważony poza Kanadą w Stanach Zjednoczonych, co spowodowało znaczący wzrost popularności zespołu. Płyta została umieszczona m.in. w liście IGN "10 Classic Prog Albums" oraz na drugim miejscu na liście najlepszych albumów rocka progresywnego magazynu Rolling Stone.

Greg Plato z AllMusic ocenił album pozytywnie, chwaląc utwór 2112, opisując go jako "przedstawiający chłodny obraz przyszłego świata", oceniając trio jako "najbardziej utalentowanych instrumentalistów". Classic Rock Review określił płytę jako "najlepsze dzieło w historii zespołu". Sean Trane pisze, iż "album nie postarzał się w ciągu 30 lat", zauważając jednak, iż "chociaż brzmi trochę prosto, jest przykładem doskonałej wyrazistości oraz muzykalności". Sputnik music ocenił utwór 2112 jako "najlepszy utwór kiedykolwiek napisany", lecz drugą stronę płyty określił jako "nie nadającą się oraz nie pasującą do tak świetnego utworu jakim jest 2112", ostatecznie uzasadniając średnią ocenę słowami: "Nie jest to dzieło kompletne".

Sam zespół ocenił tę płytę jako "najważniejszą rzecz jaką w życiu napisali".

New air terminal funded by federal grant
The Golden Triangle Regional Airport has received a $1.4 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Airport Executive Director Mike Hainsey says the grant represents slightly more than half of the money projected to come to the airport from the FAA as part of the Airport Improvement Program. Hainsey expects the airport to receive about $2.4 million total from the agency.
Officials will use the initial $1.4 million to fund a nearly $1.1 million terminal expansion project at the airport. Once the 6,000-square-foot expansion is completed, the airport's terminal will be able to seat about 150 passengers, compared to the current terminal's 58-person seating capacity.
Officials will use the additional money to design and engineer a 1,500-foot extension of airport's runway.

Joseph Ania
All Patient Stories
Joseph Ania's Story
They really went out of their way to just make it better for me.
Joseph Ania was wary when he showed up to the emergency department at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital in November 2017. The 46-year-old Bronx man had felt a persistent, unexplained pain on the right side of his abdomen for going-on four days.
Days before, he went to his local emergency room where doctors suspected Joe might have a ruptured appendix or a leak in his pancreas. As they struggled to diagnose the problem, Joe grew anxious and soon decided to go home. But the continued pain prompted Joe to seek treatment again.
At NewYork-Presbyterian Allen Hospital, Joe was quickly examined by a nurse practitioner who noted his right abdomen was tender. He was then seen by Dr. Kiran B. Pandit, an emergency medicine attending, and Dr. Richard Dubois, a surgical resident at NewYork-Presbyterian Allen.
Dr. Pandit wanted to get a closer look at what could be causing Joe's pain, so she ordered a CT scan of his abdomen and pelvis, which showed signs of a perforated peptic ulcer. A peptic ulcer is an open sore in the lining of the stomach or intestine. Joe had a perforated duodenal (intestinal) ulcer, which can occur when the untreated ulcer burns through the wall of the intestine, allowing digestive juices and food to leak into the abdominal cavity. The perforated ulcer was causing his colon to become inflamed. Left untreated, Joe could develop life-threatening infections.
It would be some time before doctors at the emergency room could confirm the diagnosis. "I was waiting for a hospital bed and I just got tired of waiting, so I snuck out, stupidly," Joe says. "Within 20 minutes of getting home, [Dr. Dubois] started calling."
Dr. Dubois implored Joe to come back. He promised he'd return, but after an hour passed he still hadn't showed up, so Dr. Dubois called again. "He strongly recommended that I come back. I told him I would come back in the morning because I didn't want to go through the whole enrollment in the ER but he wouldn't have any of that. He convinced me to come back," he says. "When I got there, he was waiting for me at the reception area."
Dr. Dubois's shift had ended. Once he knew Joe was able to get treatment, he transferred his care to the on-call surgeon. Joe was given antibiotics to treat any infections that could be causing the colitis.
Over the next few days Joe's symptom's improved. Though he says he was filled with anxiety about being in the hospital.
"There was one nurse — Jane — that made [being at the hospital] a ton easier. She knew that I was nervous about everything because I was by myself and I'd never been through anything like this before," Joe recalls. Over his three-day stay at the hospital the nurse tried hard to make Joe comfortable: getting him gelatin and other snacks once he was able to eat soft foods and meals once he was back to eating solid food.
"I wasn't given the OK to eat until after dinner was served. So I would have had to wait until the next morning for breakfast. I don't know where she went but she came back with a plate of food so I could eat," he says. "She knew I was dying for a piece of chocolate. She went and got me a chocolate bar. She really went out of her way to just make it better for me."
Joe was eventually released from the hospital, with the recommendation to follow-up with an endoscopy to rule out a serious immune system disorder.
