Local MP for Ludlow, Philip Dunne unveiled Oak Farm's new portacabin on a rainy morning in Ditton Priors last Friday.
Although the previous portacabin had served Oak Farm well, replacing it with a modern, larger cabin had been on the wish list of the Workers for some time and its arrival was a great source of anticipation.
This exciting new development came about through the generosity of Oak Farm Friends Association (OFFA) who kindly donated the cabin to Oak Farm and used funds raised to contribute towards the removal of the previous portacabin and then the installation and furnishing of the new one. As well as recognising the valuable contribution made by OFFA, Oak Farm Manager Stuart Toulson also wanted to say a, "huge thank you to the work men Archie, Knocker and John for really going above and beyond their duties and for being so great, kind, and considerate of all the Workers at Oak Farm. It was a great pleasure to have them working on site." The new portacabin provides the Oak Farm workers with a larger, better equipped and more suitable base to conduct meetings, engage in activities and have refreshment breaks and has a special plaque by the entrance which MP Philip Dunne unveiled to commemorate this special day.

2022 Global Macroeconomic Outlook
Megan Greene
While 2021 for most economies was a year of fiscal and monetary accommodation to counter the impact of the coronavirus on the economy, 2022 will be characterized broadly by policy normalization. Barring new variants of the virus that are highly transmissible and deadly, fiscal and monetary policymakers will stop pushing the pedal to the metal on stimulus to support economic growth.
U.S. Faces Weaker Growth and Inflation
Nowhere is this more evident than the U.S. The result will be a different growth and inflation outlook towards the end of the year than we are seeing now. In December 2021, Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation, the Fed's preferred metric of inflation, hit 5.8%, nearly the highest rate in four decades—while CPI reached 7%. The consensus was that the Fed was behind the curve on leaning against inflation and withdrawing monetary accommodation. This view was cemented further when the US saw real GDP growth accelerate from 2.3% annualized in the third quarter of 2021 to a robust 6.9% in the fourth quarter. Even Fed Chair Jay Powell retired the phrase "transitory" to describe higher inflation.
Economists such as Larry Summers and Olivier Blanchard warned early in 2021 that fiscal stimulus measures were overdone and would overheat the economy and drive inflation higher. According to the Brookings Institution's Fiscal Impact Monitor, fiscal stimulus was a tailwind for growth in the first quarter of last year, but from thereon out it will be a drag. Based on estimates from the Office of Management and Budget, the fiscal retrenchment the U.S. will undergo in 2022 relative to the previous year will be the second largest in the country's history.
Such fiscal retrenchment isn't a concern if stimulus measures went into household bank accounts and will now be unleashed as higher consumption. According to data from the JP Morgan Institute, low-income households benefited the most from fiscal stimulus measures but have also burned through them faster. Low-income households have a high marginal propensity to consume (they spend a larger percentage of their savings on things like rent, food and healthcare). If they have already spent most of their financial cushion, they cannot be relied on to drive consumption higher in 2022. The upshot is that these people may reenter the labor force to find jobs, alleviating the shortage of workers we have seen over the course of the past year and reducing upward pressure on wages and prices.
The investment outlook will look less favorable in 2022 as well, as interest rates rise. U.S. Treasury yields have already backed up significantly in the first few weeks of 2022, with corporate yields following suit. Foreign demand will also remain tepid as China's economy continues to slow.
Weak domestic and foreign demand and a strengthening U.S. dollar will take upward pressure off of inflation in the U.S. Supply chain disruptions may be even worse in the first quarter of 2022 than last year as workers fall ill, consumers stay home and outbreaks in China force factory closures and lockdowns. But on the other side of the omicron wave, supply chain disruptions should begin to abate. There are signs this may already be underway, as order backlogs and supply delivery times have improved in recent months.
As COVID-19 becomes endemic, with luck before the end of the year, the structural drivers of lower inflation over the past 15 years should reassert themselves. High market concentration, low worker power and technological innovation have all been turbocharged over the course of the pandemic and should put downward pressure on inflation.
Even with inflation abating in H2, we expect the Fed to hike rates three times in 2022, beginning in March after the balance sheet tapering process has concluded. We also believe the Fed will begin shrinking its balance sheet shortly after the first rate hike, using caps as it did in 2015-2019 to give investors clarity on the pace while also maintaining some flexibility. The balance sheet run-off will be faster than in 2015-2019, but we do not expect it to disrupt markets given that growth and inflation are stronger now than the previous period, the weighted average maturity of assets on the Fed's balance sheet is shorter and the Fed has established a Standing Repo Facility (SRP) that should serve as a circuit breaker to prevent another spike in repo rates as reserves become scarcer like in September 2019.
Trouble in Emerging Markets
China enjoyed strong growth in the first half of 2021 (in part because of the weak year-earlier comparison) but slowed down significantly in the first half. The Chinese slowdown was deliberately engineered as President Xi sacrificed short-term economic growth in favor of longer-term goals such as financial stability (particularly in the real estate sector), common prosperity and achieving CO2 emissions targets. The outlook for growth in 2022 depends on how the Communist Party sees the balance of these priorities. At the 2021 Economic Work Conference in December, officials clearly signaled that they would support the economy in 2022 with fiscal and monetary stimulus. Still, we expect continued commitment to these longer-term goals, which will continue to drag on growth.
There are two key risks for the Chinese economy. First, China continues to pursue a zero-COVID-19 policy, which makes it particularly vulnerable to outbreaks of highly transmissible variants such as omicron. Lockdowns and factory closures will persist until the omicron wave passes, dragging on growth. Second, authorities aim to deflate the real estate bubble in China and reduce moral hazard in the sector by reducing investment, causing defaults among property developers. The government aims to manage these defaults, but if they begin cascading, we could see a hard landing for the Chinese property market, which directly and indirectly accounts for roughly 20% of the Chinese economy.
A slowdown in China and higher interest rates in the U.S. could cause instability in a number of emerging markets (EM). EM countries plan to retrench in 2022-2023 as they try to reign in their fiscal dynamic after paying for measures to address the pandemic. Many EMs, particularly in Asia, are heavily reliant on China for demand. In addition, EMs have reduced their reliance as a whole on Eurodollar bonds for sovereign financing but increased it for private sector financing. As the Fed hikes rates and the U.S. dollar appreciates, that will make this foreign denominated debt more difficult to service. Furthermore, much of EM trade is invoiced in U.S. dollars, making imports more expensive in local currency terms. According to data from the Institute for International Finance, EMs excluding China saw a sudden stop in capital flows at the end of 2021. These factors could prompt a series of sovereign debt crises in EM in 2022-2023.
Is Europe a Bright Spot?
EU countries will continue to benefit from what one Italian policymaker referred to as "free money from heaven" in 2023 as Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) money is dispersed. These funds come in the form of both grants and loans and are financed by mutualized debt issued at the EU level. A significant portion must be earmarked for the green transition and digitalization, both of which should boost potential growth in member states. Eurozone countries in particular will also continue to benefit from significant monetary accommodation as the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to maintain negative rates through 2022.
There are two risks regarding the use of RRF money. First, they are dispersed with conditionality; member states must implement the European Commission-recommended reforms to receive tranches of funds. Many of these reforms have been proposed for decades and have not been implemented previously because they're politically difficult. Even if member states do manage to carry out these reforms, they may not find good projects to spend the money on, and administration may be bureaucratic and slow. On average, EU member states tend to absorb roughly half of the structural funds dispersed by Brussels. Spain and Italy absorb about 35% and 39%, respectively, but are set to receive the largest chunk of the RRF in absolute terms. If member states cannot absorb the RRF money by the time it expires in 2026, northern European countries are unlikely to agree to mutualized debt again.
Top risks:
The U.S. finds itself in an energy crisis, with demand for energy reverting to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 while supply lags. This is a result of chronic underinvestment in fossil fuels; despite energy equities performing very well in 2021, institutional money has not flowed into the sector in part because of ESG targets. If the shale wells cannot be turned on quickly and Iranian gas is not tapped and transported this year (pending a nuclear deal), brent oil prices could exceed $100/barrel. This would push inflation up and could serve as a drag on growth, putting the Fed in a stagflationary environment in which its tools are ineffective.
U.S. corporate profits falter as rates rise in the U.S., causing a swathe of defaults in the corporate sector. Many economists were concerned about leverage in the U.S. corporate sector sparking the next downturn back in 2019. The sector is even more leveraged now as a result of monetary policy accommodation. Many corporates have built up strong cash positions, but some may run into trouble with lower profits and higher borrowing costs.
Productivity growth underpins much higher growth and lower inflation. We witnessed significant wage growth in the U.S. in the second half of 2021, and some economists have worried that a wage/price spiral will drive inflation higher. But if wages rise and productivity growth increases, then firms do not pass the higher cost of labor through to the end user in the form of higher prices. Higher wages and productivity can raise living standards without driving inflation higher. Investment has been weak for 15 years, credit will remain cheap even with rates rising and many firms have taken the opportunity to automate during the lockdowns of 2020. This should boost productivity growth.
The Fed fell behind the curve and has to hike rates more aggressively. If inflation doesn't abate in 2022, the Fed may have to withdraw accommodation faster than it currently expects. This could prompt a rotation out of equities into fixed income, and within equities out of growth into value stocks.
China overdoes stimulus. China has shown time and time again that even though it is a centrally planned economy, fiscal and monetary stimulus measures are not precise and frequently officials overdo it. If China's economy slows more than expected in 2022, either because of cascading defaults in the property sector or because of extensive lockdowns as part of China's zero-COVID-19 strategy, then officials may pull on traditional levers to reflate the economy such as fixed asset investment and the property market. This would generate more demand globally than expected, but could also necessitate a larger slowdown further down the line as President Xi remains committed to financial stability, common prosperity and the green transition.
Geopolitical conflict erupts. There are two main candidates for hot spots in 2022: Russia/Ukraine and China/Taiwan. Of the two, the first is the higher probability but lower impact event. Russia continues to amass troops and weapons along the Ukrainian border. If it does invade Ukraine, the U.S. and Europe will likely impose further sanctions, falling short of kicking Russia out of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT). Russia's economy would certainly suffer, and Russia could retaliate by cutting off energy to Europe at a time when oil and gas supplies are already low. This poses significant upside risk for inflation in the eurozone. An open conflict between China and Taiwan is less likely but would have an even larger impact on the global economy. This is partly because Taiwan is the source of most of the world's semiconductor chips, already in short supply. But moreover the U.S. has pledged to come to Taiwan's defense. Open conflict with China is not in the U.S.'s best interests and would probably be avoided at all costs, with the role of the U.S. on the global stage suffering significantly as a result. Both China and Japan would consider the U.S.'s actions a precedent for what would happen if tensions in the South China Sea also erupted, and the U.S.'s reputation as an unreliable ally would be further cemented.

Las Vegas is a city with so many attractions that it can be difficult to know where to start when planning a holiday there. From the famous casinos and iconic luxury hotels to the nearby Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, Sin City, as it has become affectionately known, has something to cater for every taste and budget. But if you are on a budget, trying to squeeze everything in and picking what to see and what to leave for another time can be quite a difficult task. To help balance the books, why not combine these five great value Las Vegas attractions with a handful of Las Vegas coupons?
Here are the top five attractions that everyone should see on their trip to including things that are free to do in Vegas.
This stunning outdoor water feature has become synonymous with the grandeur and opulence of Las Vegas, featuring in many Hollywood films such as Ocean's Eleven, What Happens in Vegas and recent hit, The Hangover. It is a completely free attraction, with spectators invited to enjoy magnificent choreographed shows set to songs by Frank Sinatra, Madonna and Michael Jackson. More than 1,200 water nozzles and 4,500 lights are used to create these shows in the middle of the 9-acre man-made lake; the Bellagio Fountains are a sight not to be missed.
The world-renowned Cirque du Soleil have not one, not two, but seven shows currently in residency in Las Vegas, and it would be a crime to miss out on seeing at least one. O, Mystere, The Beatles' LOVE, Criss Angel BELIEVE, Zumanity, Viva ELVIS and KA are all playing at hotels across Vegas, in shows where anything is possible. Expect high-octane acrobatic skills, vibrant costumes, humour, drama and everything in between from the inimitable entertainment company.
Las Vegas happens to be a short drive or helicopter ride away from one of the Seven Natural Wonder of the World; the Grand Canyon. 277 miles long, up to 18 miles wide in parts, and with a depth of over a mile, this mind-blowing attraction is one of the most spectacular sights the planet has to offer. With hot-air ballooning tours, helicopter transfers, night flights, floor landings and excursions to the Hoover Dam available, there is no excuse to miss the dramatic scenery and remarkable panorama that the Grand Canyon presents.
This little slice of Italy is a holiday within a holiday; an exact replica of the canals that thread through the streets of Venice. The shops that line the waterways include big-name boutiques such as Hugo Boss, Sephora and Kenneth Cole, with eateries run by celebrity chefs and daily performances in the main square.
No trip to Las Vegas would be complete without a stay in the iconic Caesar's Palace. The charming faux-Roman architecture includes majestic columns, bubbling fountains, marble floors and imposing statues. The hotel is located in the middle of the Strip with easy access to all other major attractions, but with 180 shops and boutiques, a range of fine dining and casual restaurants and entertainment from Celine Dion and Matt Goss, there is barely any need to even step off the hotel site.

On the other hand, Kyoto is a leading international center for research and development – be it in transport (magnetic levitation trains), brain research (decoded neurofeedback), or the entertainment industry (Nintendo, Super Mario). When concepts for the future meet a traditional past, it shows in architecture. Twenty years ago, Hiroshi Hara's Kyoto Station caused a stir for its unconventional modernism that many considered a sacrilege amidst the cities 2000 temples and shrines. Today, the steel and glass structure is a leading example of how public spaces should be designed: innovative and inviting.
Those interested in other superlative structures by Hara can hop on a Shinkansen at Kyoto station and take a fifteen-minute ride to neighboring Osaka where the architect created the "Umeda Sky Building", a 40-story complex with two skyscrapers connected on the upper floors by an escalator.

Q: Leaflet update WMS legend on change I have a dropdown that changes the SLD of a WMS layer.
Now, I want the legend to be updated according to this change. Finally, the legend must display the selected SLD of the layer.
The problem is that every time I change my choice with the dropdown, the legend is added to the map. But I want the legend to be refreshed.

For example on this image, I chose 'demo_secteur_statut_' then 'demo_secteur_statut' then 'demo_secteur_statut_'
I think we need to remove layer and/or legend before adding it but my attempts don't work.

Thank you in advance for help

EDIT
}
Solution found, thks to : them

You could simply wrap your map.removeControl(legend) in an if
  statement which checks if legend is actual an instance of L.Control.

So it gives that, hoping it helps someone
var legend;

$("#select-sld").change(function(){
    var selectId = $("#select-sld option:selected").val();
    var getSLD = [];

    for (var i in data){
        if(data[i].id == selectId){
            getSLD += data[i].nom;
            if(data[i].id != selectId){
                return false;
            }
        }
    };

    secteur.setParams({styles: getSLD});
    console.log(secteur.wmsParams.styles);

    $('#result-select-sld').html(getSLD);

    if(legend instanceof L.Control){map2.removeControl(legend);}

    legend = L.control({position: 'bottomright'});

    legend.onAdd = function (map2) {

Caleb Brewster (September 12, 1747 – February 13, 1827) was a member of the Culper spy ring during the American Revolutionary War, reporting to General George Washington through Major Benjamin Tallmadge. He carried messages across Long Island Sound between Major Tallmadge and the ring's main spies on Long Island, New York, and in New York City. He also made direct reports to Washington concerning naval activities in the New York City area.

Personal life
Brewster was born in Setauket, New York, a hamlet of Brookhaven. After the Revolutionary War, he was a blacksmith, an officer in the United States Revenue Cutter Service for 20 years, and a farmer.  He was a descendant of Francis Brewster II, barber-surgeon of Castle Bristol, who died, presumably, on the Phantom Ship in 1646-1647 and was the son of Francis Brewster I of Wrentham Hall in Suffolk, yeoman, who died 1632 in Bristol, England.

Culper Ring

Major Benjamin Tallmadge convinced General George Washington on August 25, 1778, that Abraham Woodhull of Setauket, Long Island, would make a good agent to gather intelligence in New York City, the British Army's headquarters and base of operations during the American Revolutionary War. Brewster served as a courier in what became the Culper spy ring, carrying messages between Woodhull and Tallmadge, and he ran regular trips in whaleboats across the Sound on a variety of smuggling and military missions. Woodhull and Robert Townsend were the main agents in the Ring, alias "Samuel Culper, Sr." and "Samuel Culper, Jr." respectively.  Brewster also participated in military actions as a Continental Army officer serving under Tallmadge.

Anna Strong's role in the Ring was to signal Brewster that a message was ready, according to widely accepted local and family tradition. She did this by hanging a black petticoat on her clothesline at Strong Point in Setauket, which Brewster could see from a boat in the Sound and Woodhull could see from his nearby farm. She would add a number of handkerchiefs for one of six coves where Brewster would bring his boat and Woodhull would meet him.

In February 1778, Brewster sent a message of his own through the Culper channel that described flat-bottomed boats being built in New York that could be used to ferry troops, and Loyalist privateers being outfitted. On another trip, he was waiting for Woodhull in Anna Strong's back garden when he surprised a passing British lieutenant. Brewster pulled him off his horse and had the opportunity to capture or kill him, but he refrained from doing either in order to avoid drawing suspicion on Anna as a member of the Ring, and instead pretended that he and his men were thieves.

After the war
Brewster married Anne Lewis of Fairfield, Connecticut, after the war and moved to Fairfield with her, where he set up a blacksmith business. The couple had eight surviving children.

In 1793, he joined the United States Revenue Cutter Service, predecessor of the United States Coast Guard. He took three years off from the service because he disagreed with policies of President John Adams, and he commanded the revenue cutter USRC Active (1812) from 1812 to 1816. He retired to his farm in Black Rock, Connecticut.

Brewster died February 13, 1827, aged 79, and is buried in Fairfield Cemetery.

Israel expands its offensive on the northern Gaza Strip
Palestinian Center for Human Rights 4 October 2004
Israeli occupying troops have continued their wide scale offensive on the northern Gaza Strip. In the last two days, 15 Palestinians were killed by Israeli troops. Thus, the number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of this latest offensive has mounted to 60, including 27 civilians, 18 of whom are children. In addition, at least 280 others, mostly civilians, including a number of children, have been injured, and a number of them have been rendered permanently handicapped. Israeli troops have also continued to destroy houses, agricultural land, civilian facilities and historical sites. In the meantime, Israeli troops have continued to impose a tightened siege on the area, and electricity and water supplies have been cut. They have continued to obstruct the work of medical crews.
This latest offensive by Israeli occupying troops has been characterized by excessive use of force against Palestinian civilians, as they have attacked civilian communities with missiles and shells. Since the beginning of this latest offensive, 27 Palestinian civilians, including 18 children, have been killed, which refutes the claims of Moshe Ya'lon, the Israeli military chief of staff, that all of those who have been killed are militants. Israeli troops have been positioned a few meters away from Jabalya refugee camp, which is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, where approximately 120,000 people live in an area of less than 2 square kilometers. Consequently, most of the casualties have been in the camp, and many houses have been destroyed. Israeli troops have also used disproportionate and indiscriminate force against members of the Palestinian resistance as many of these were killed when they were not engaged in fighting.
Statements by Israeli political and military officials that this military campaign could continue for weeks not a few days raise serious concerns for the lives and properties of Palestinian civilians. Such statements also provide further evidence of the policy of collective punishment, which has been systematically practiced against the Palestinian people.
According to preliminary investigations conducted by PCHR on the latest developments, at approximately 17:00 on Saturday, 2 October 2004, an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a number of the Palestinian resistance near Sha'sha'a area in the east of Tal al-Za'tar. One member of the resistance, Yasser Mohammed Abu Ghubait, 20, from Jabalya refugee camp, was instantly killed.
At approximately 00:30 on Sunday, 3 October 2004, at least 10 Israeli heavy military vehicles moved into Tal al-Za'tar in Jabalya. They demolished at least 2 houses completely and 10 others partially. They also demolished a kindergarten in the area.
At approximately 02:00, Israeli troops fired an artillery shell at a number of members of the Palestinian resistance near UNRWA schools in the southeast of Jabalya refugee camp. Two members of the resistance were killed: Rani Akram Quddas, 22; and Musbah Hussein al-Zinati, 20, both from Jabalya refugee camp.
At approximately 06:00 on the same day, Israeli troops fired another shell at the same area. One member of the Palestinian resistance, Mohammed Ibrahim al-Sherafi, 22, from Jabalya refugee camp, was killed. His body was discovered in the area 2 hours later.
At noon, Israeli troops shot dead Ra'ed Suleiman Abu Wawi, 36, from Tal al-Za'tar area, with a live bullet in the head, when he was on the roof of his house. PCHR's field worker in the northern Gaza Strip reported that the victim was deaf and dumb, and that his house is nearly 150 meters away from the source of fire.
At approximately 13:40 on the same day, an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a number of members of the Palestinian resistance at Zimmu Street in Beit Hanoun. One member of the resistance, Fadi Fareed al-Za'aneen, 23, was killed, and another member was seriously injured.
At approximately 15:40 on the same day, an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a number of members of the Palestinian resistance in Block 4 in Jabalya refugee camp. One member of the resistance, Maher Jameel Zaqqout, 26, was killed.
At approximately 16:00 on the same day, Israeli troops fired at Saber Ibrahim 'Asaliya, 14, from 'Abed Rabbu area in the east of Jabalya, as he was trying to leave the area. The child was wounded by a live bullet in the back. He was evacuated to Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but medical efforts to save his life failed and he was pronounced dead one hour later.
At approximately 17:00 on the same day, medical sources at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City declared that 13-year-old Mohammed D'iab al-Najjar died from a wound he had sustained by the Israeli shelling against Jabalya refugee camp on 1 October 2004. He was hit by a live bullet to the head.
At approximately 18:00 on the same day, Israeli troops positioned to the east of al-Sikka Street near Jabalya refugee camp opened fire at Palestinian houses in Block 4 in the camp. A Palestinian child, 14-year-old Nidal Muhsen al-Madhoun, was seriously wounded by a live bullet in the heart, when he was near his house. He died shortly after he had been evacuated to the hospital.
On Monday morning, 4 October 2004, Israeli occupying troops expanded their incursion into the towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia under the cover of indiscriminate shelling.
At approximately 03:00, Israeli troops fired 2 artillery shells at a number of members of the Palestinian resistance in al-Manshiya area in Beit Lahia. Four members of the resistance were killed: Fares 'Omar al-Habel, 21; Romel Mohammed al-Barrawi, 20; Isma'il Ibrahim Shihda, 21; and Mohammed Saber al-Baba, 23.
Ambulances were able to evacuate bodies of 3 of the victims, while the fourth victim's body remained in the area until 07:30.
At approximately 06:00, Israeli troops positioned to the east of al-Sikka Street near Jabalya refugee camp fired at Mohammed Mousa al-Hissi, 27, when he was in a street in the camp, wounding him with a live bullet in the chest. Ambulances were able to reach him only 20 minutes later, but he was dead.
At approximately 11:30, Israeli troops positioned to the east of al-Sikka Street near Jabalya refugee camp shot dead Ramzi Shihda Hasaballah, 21, when he was in a street in the camp, with a live bullet in the chest.
According to information available to PCHR so far, Israeli troops have totally destroyed at least 60 houses and seriously damaged dozens of others since the beginning of this latest offensive on the northern Gaza Strip. They have also razed at least 100 donums1 of agricultural land, and destroyed a mosque and the fence of a Roman historical site.
PCHR's field worker in the northern Gaza Strip reported that he received several phone calls from Palestinian civilians living at al-Sikka Street, east of Jabalya, in Beit Hanoun's agricultural areas and in al-Nada housing project in Beit Lahia, during which they informed him about the deterioration in the humanitarian situation in these areas, caused by the lack of water, electricity and basic foodstuffs. In addition, there are a number of patients in these areas who have not been able to reach hospitals. PCHR's field workers reported also that a number of families in Jabalya refugee camp have not been able to participate in the funeral procession of members of these family who had been killed by Israeli troops due to the tightened siege imposed by Israeli troops on parts of the camp. Israeli troops have also fired at ambulances, which try to offer medical aid to the wounded, and have continued to prohibit the entry of medical and humanitarian aids into the areas they had already seized, especially parts of Jabalya refugee camp.
PCHR strongly condemns such attacks by Israeli occupying troops, which constitute collective punishment against Palestinian civilians, in violation of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949 (Fourth Geneva Convention), which prohibit forcible migration and destruction of private properties. PCHR remains concerned for the failure of the international community to provide protection for Palestinian civilians and their properties.
PCHR calls upon the international community to immediately intervene to provide protection for the Palestinian civilian population; The High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to take concrete steps to stop Israeli attacks, which have recently escalated; The High Commissioner for Human Rights to immediately visit the Occupied Palestinian Territories to watch violations of human rights perpetrated by Israeli occupying troops against Palestinian civilians; Humanitarian organizations to provide immediate assistance for victims of violations of international humanitarian law perpetrated by Israeli occupying troops against Palestinian civilians.

Behind Israel's most expensive house
On September 30, 2020 October 3, 2020 By Martin Kramer
News outlets have reported that Sheldon Adelson, the American casino magnate and mega-donor to politicians, has closed a deal to purchase the seaside residence in the Israeli city of Herzliya that for decades has been the home of successive U.S. ambassadors. Evidently, in the wake of its move of the American embassy itself from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Washington has been keen to bolster its presence further in Israel's capital; disposing of the residence is one means to that end. Adelson's reported price, the largest sum ever paid for a home in Israel: $87 million.
As it happens, the same coastal property once drew another famous, upward-aspiring American owner—a fact I discovered by accident two years ago.
At the time, I was dipping into Israel's state archives…

Make this year a Halloween to remember with this list of fun and creepy experiments your guests will never forget.
Halloween is an especially fun time of year for geeks. We get to dress up as comic book characters, watch campy movies, and gorge ourselves on candy! But as adult geeks, the pinnacle of the season is the Halloween party.
When else can you throw a party where the biggest wow factor happens because of chemistry or physics? Because that's exactly what happens when you make things glow in the dark, change color, freeze, or explode!
Check out this list of some of the coolest and most fun science-based projects to take this year's Halloween to the next level. But remember to experiment responsibly!
Pop a tiny piece of dry ice into your holiday drinks this year. It lightly carbonates your cider while also cooling it and making it look super spooky, just be careful not to swallow the ice!
Did you know that quinine is fluorescent? That means you can make fluorescent ice cubes that will make for some super cool cocktails. All you need is a freezer, tonic water, and a black light! Pop a couple in a glass of gin for a delicious, glowing drink.
Button batteries, electrical tape, and LED's are all you really need to get this made. Well, also the patience to actually put it all together dozens of times over. Or you can add a little wiring and a switch to make it all controllable. Get on this immediately if it's something you want to to wear in time for Halloween though, that kind of fiddly wiring can take a while.
Just add dish soap to hydrogen peroxide inside your jack-o-lantern to make this slightly nauseating effect. Try adding different colors for more fun, or even seal the ingredients in a ziplock bag inside your pumpkin to create a ticking vomit time-bomb!
Populate your party with spooky floating spirits. You can buy a machine to do this for you, or even hook together a bubble maker and a fog machine, but the same effect can be achieved with dry ice, a hose, a fan pump, and a bowl of soapy water.
Grab some glow in the dark powder from your local craft store and paint your pumpkins instead of carving them. That way, your charming autumn display turns itself into a macabre hall of horrors as soon as the sun goes down!
Technically this is science because it's all about the lipids in the cream reacting with hydroxyl groups in the alcohol to make a semi-solid "brain" in the shot glass. To impress your horror-loving friends, try out the recipe here.
Cut some gummy worms in half and soak them in a mixture of baking soda and water. When the party get's going, you can show your friends your mad science cred by bringing the worms "back to life" by dropping them into a jar of vinegar. It's ALIVE!!!
Liquid nitrogen can be expensive, but you can achieve the same effect on the cheap. Alcohol freezes at a lower temperature than dry ice, so you can mix the two together to get a liquid just as cold as the dry ice, in which you can freeze just about anything for some great, creepy effects.
Draw some veins on raw eggs with a sharpie then let them sit in vinegar for 12 hours. The acid dissolves the shell leaving you with some truly unnerving décor. Extra points for adding a touch of food coloring to the vinegar.
Just add some iron oxide powder to your favorite SLIME recipe and you'll have a creepy mass of seemingly sentient goo. Try to hide magnets in the gloves of your costume and impress everyone with your ability to animate the blob!
Take advantage of tonic water's natural phosphorescence in another way by mixing up your gelatin with it. (Pro-tip, the green Jell-O works best). Under a black light, it will look like you and your friends are about to hulk-out when the party really gets started!
No Halloween list is complete without BLOOD! You can achieve a pretty good effect with corn syrup, corn starch, food coloring, and water- but the best recipe is this: blend about two cups of water with a whole box of powdered sugar and about an ounce of red food coloring, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder and blend again. Voila!
Now you've got edible, and very convincing fake blood that can be a trick or a treat! Meanwhile, if you loved this list, you may also want to check out our options for the best Halloween gifts for geeks.
