Despite a healthy lifestyle, many men still struggle with problem areas on their bodies. Regular workouts, a healthy diet, and limited drinking are a great start but don't always result in the perfect body we'd hoped for.
As we age, it becomes even more of a challenge to tackle troublesome areas, like love handles or a bulging belly. Men experience other issues like hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, which can lead to low self-esteem in social situations.
At Maison Lutetia, we go beyond the one-size-fits-all approach to treatments. We analyze your body type, your lifestyle, and your expectations and then tailor a treatment plan just for you.
"I Want to Reduce Stubborn Fat on My Love Handles"
Radio Frequency is one of the most comfortable, non-surgical ways to reduce localized areas of stubborn fat.
Our Body Curve treatment uses deep radio-frequency heat to eliminate fat cells permanently from the body. This treatment works great on troublesome areas such as the arms, abs and even the thighs, so you can be on your way to a more contoured you in no time.
"I Want to Curb Excessive Sweating"
Botox is known for its ability to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, but did you know it can also curb excessive sweating?
Injecting Botox into areas that have overactive sweat glands can provide immediate relief and keep you sweat-free and carefree throughout the summer.
Primarily known to smoothen out fine lines and wrinkles, Botox® is also used to effectively curb hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, especially in the armpits. Immediate, durable results will last longer and keep you carefree throughout the summer.
A not-so-active city life can wreak havoc on your metabolism. Age, alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation and stress all play their part too. One day you notice a bit more belly and love handles than you had five years ago.
Medical Cryolipolysis is a top recommendation for this localized fat. It freezes the pinch-able fat cells, especially those around your middle section, and permanently destroys them.
Even better, the procedure takes under an hour, is relatively painless, results are visible in three weeks and improvement continues for up to 6 months after treatment. This treatment is no replacement for a healthy lifestyle, but it can whittle away those little bulges on your waistline.
Our aesthetic experts can build a treatment plan specific to your needs, one that fits with your schedule. All of our treatments begin with a 3DFitscan analysis which gives you an overview of your fitness level and starting point. This is a good tool for tracking your progress each step of the way.
"I Want to Boost My Body's Metabolism"
As we age, our metabolism slows down and stubborn fat deposits get harder to eliminate. So we exercise more, eliminate sugar and fried foods, and still our waists grow bigger. All to often lifestyle changes may not be enough to get the results we want.
Our MetaBooster treatment administers a biomagnetic field to stimulate fat cells in the body. Delivered through a bodysuit, from your toes to your torso, the magnetic field and compression encourages whole body lymphatic drainage. This therapeutic and pain-free treatment gradually eliminates visceral fat cells. It's also helps with recovery from exercise, exertion, or travel.
With a dipping metabolism, reducing fat can only get harder once you step into adulthood. Our MetaBooster treatment takes the shape of a unique bodysuit that covers you from torso to toe and administers BioMagnetic field to stimulate fat cells.
Almost therapeutic and pain-free, the MetaBooster initiates the natural lymphatic drainage of the body thereby eliminating the fat cells gradually.

Q: PHP MySQL - Join tables with same content? Ok so I know we can join tables 'across' in MySQL to tables using a id column.
I have two databases where I need to join two tables that are almost identical.
I need to join these 'down', e.g similar to inserting the whole of one table into the other. Not a normal cross join.
Does MySQL allow me to do this?

A: UNION is a good way to accomplish this.
SELECT * FROM table1
UNION
SELECT * FROM table2

Just make sure number of columns being returned are the same, and data type matches.

A: Yes, You can use UNION - the only condition is to select the same amount of columns from both select quesries (both tables):
SELECT a, b, c, d FROM table1

UNION

SELECT d, e, f, g FROM table2

Common issue is to order the results from UNION, so here is solution:
SELECT a AS order_by, b, c, d FROM table1
UNION
SELECT d, e, f AS order_by, g FROM table2
ORDER BY order_by DESC

A: Try this :
INSERT INTO database1.table1
    SELECT * FROM database2.table2

A: Yes you can do that, just use full database name before table, make sure your user have permissions on both databases.
 SELECT ...
 FROM database1.table t1
 JOIN database2.table2 t2 ON t2.column = t1.col

The Emmy Awards, the top daytime TV awards ceremony in the US, is taking steps to regain some of the TV audience for its headline awards ceremony. Under plans approved by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (organisers of the Emmys), the number of acceptance speeches at the awards ceremony is to be cut. The move is a bid to improve the entertainment value of the event as a television product, and follows last year's disastrous viewing figures for the 2004 Emmy Awards. Fewer than 14 millions viewers watched the three hour show, the second-lowest ratings ever for the Emmys. In 2002 the TV audience was almost 20 million for a show that was actually 15 minutes longer. In a further gesture to improve the appeal of the show, it appears that actors have escaped the speeches cull whereas it is the writers and directors whose acceptance speeches will be cut or replaced with short, pre-recorded interviews. In approving the plans, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' board of governors did reject proposals to cut the number of awards.


Hello everyone! This is just a short post to say Merry Christmas to all my lovely readers!! I hope you have fabulous Christmas days with your friends & family. Enjoy yourselves.
I also wanted to let you all know that I'll be taking a bit of a break from blogging. I'm sure you won't miss me when there are gifts to be exchanged & received, delicious food to be eaten & lovely company to enjoy.
I shall be back in early January with some fresh new posts for you all.
I hope your Christmas Eve has also been amazing!!


Same trousers, different day! Sort of wishing I was looking and feeling as fresh as I did when we shot these photos last week right now... instead, I'm curled up in bed ft. PJs and dressing gown feeling extremely sniffly and more than a little sorry for myself. But never mind, life is a game of ups and downs after all! And it's a Sunday, so if it's ever going to be suitable to be sickeningly lazy it's today I suppose.
Sometimes a good outfit is all you need to sort yourself out when you're feeling rubbish. Being a uni student I too often find myself throwing on the comfiest, easiest thing going; but in reality, getting a little bit dressed up is a great remedy on those down days. If you look convincing, chances are you'll feel it, too. Maybe it's time to take my own advice and get out of these PJs..
Hope you feel better <3 Also sick at the moment! Been following your blog for years and love your style!

Ayatollah calls Ahmadinejad a "bastard" who will "destroy Shiism"
AhmadinejadIranIran demonstrationsIran ElectionIran protestNIAC blogNIAC insightniacINsightSane'iShiism
Tehran Bureau has translated part of this video, in which the outspoken Ayatollah Sane'i calls Ahmadinejad a bastard.
"What will destroy Shiism is saying in front of millions of people that the clerics and their children are thieves who have been stealing for thirty years," Sane'i said, in a video posted to YouTube apparently taken at a sermon in Gorgan.
In a televised debate preceding the presidential election, Ahmadinejad had accused Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and his family of fiscal corruption.Sanei added, "What kind of a Shia government is this? There's been thievery for 30 years and they have just found out about it? Meanwhile, billions are transferred to Turkey and the report is rejected."
"Calling someone a thief means tarnishing someone's image and is punishable under Islamic law," he said. But Sanai admitted corruption does exist among officials. "Yes, some people in this establishment are guilty of thievery.""The person who makes such accusations, if he has taken an oath in Majlis to protect the honor of the people, breaks his oath. As the oath is sworn on the Quran, breaking it has a pecuniary punishment as well as a mortal sin."
"He lies because he is a bastard or else he would have seen the hidden Imam," Sanei said, as laughter rippled through his audience.

US wants to break the relations between Türkiye and Europe
Türkiye-Sweden relations came to the fore again after PKK members hanged President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's puppet in an anti-Türkiye demonstration held in Stockholm.
Russia Today (RT) asked political scientist and United World International author Onur Sinan Guzaltan about Türkiye's ongoing objections to Sweden and Finland's NATO membership. Below is the interviews transcription. To watch the entire interview video follow this link.
What is your reaction to the Kurdish group posting a video with a dummy of president Erdogan?
First I would like to say that the PKK is a terrorist organization, which is directly controlled by the American intelligence the CIA. That is the first point. Secondly, many western countries and especially Sweden have been supporting this organization for more than 40 years. So this protest in Stockholm organized by the PKK members was not a big surprise for me or for the Turkish public because we already know that Sweden and many other European countries are supporting this organization.
This is obviously condemned by Sweden and the Swedish Prime Minister. And the Swedish Ambassador was summoned to Tukiye to answer for this and to see what actions Sweden would take that Türkiye demanded for the investigation of the people behind this to be brough to justice. Do you think that these two countries would be able to move on from this quickly?
Even from this protest we can see that Sweden and also Finland do not take Turkish requests that seriously. Because they are keep hosting many members of the PKK and of the FETO terrorist organization and are also supporting these organizations. And these protests show us that they keep supporting these organizations openly. So I think even this statement from the Swedish side would not change Türkiye's position on Sweden's ascension into NATO.
Sweden's path to NATO
It will not change Türkiye's position? So you do not think that this would possibly derail the negotiations for those two countries to become NATO members?
I think I can say that even though Türkiye is officially a member of NATO, but in a strategic or even a psychological sense within the public, we are not a member of NATO anymore. So we understood from these protests, the Swedish actions, and the general European strategy against Turkiye, that we have no more common interests with NATO or most of the NATO members. So, I think that a positive statement from the Swedish side would not change the position of the Turkish government. Because this problem is much more complex than a simple and a childish protest.
Do you make anything out of the timing of this protest? It took place just a day after the Swedish diplomats were saying that the talks for the country ascension were going well. Do you think this was designed to undermine that?
This is a very good question. I think we have to evaluate this protest with the attack which took place in Paris two weeks ago. We can remember there was an attack on a Kurdish cultural center that belonged to the PKK. And this attack was conducted by a French right-wing supremacist. And today this protest can show us that a power (US) tried to manipulate the Turkish-European relations. I think we have to analyze the attack in Paris and the protests in Stockholm together. And when we analyze these two events together, we should not forget that the PKK is controlled by the American Intelligence the CIA. And several US officials also said that the Syrian branch of the PKK, the YPG/PYD is their strategic ally. So, it is better to analyze the Stockholm protest in this context.

Protein Rich Sambar for hot steaming Rice!
Chickpeas is rich in protein and a very healthy pulse. Apart from usual sundal, we can add chickpeas to sambar, kuzhambu etc. This is one simple sambar variety resembles much as vathakuzhambu served in marriages but with only one twist of adding mashed dal. So we can follow the same vathakuzhambu method but with extra ingredients such as chickpeas and dal. Also the seasoning ingredients will add a extra flavor to the dish.
Most of us frequently make Chole Masala, Chana Pulao, Chickpeas Salad etc. In addition to these regular recipes with chickpeas, I love to make Chickpeas Dosai, Chickpeas and coriander Soup and Falafel. My MIL makes this regularly and she calls this another version of vathakuzhambu. Generally in vathaluzhambu we don't add toor dal and also we won't use coconut.
Try this version of Chickpeas Sambar and share your experience!
Boil the tamarind juice along with salt. When the raw smell of the tamarind extract goes off, add cooked chickpeas.
Also add ground spice paste and mix well. Allow the kuzhambu to cook in medium flame for 5 minutes for the ground paste to cook nicely. Then, add mashed dal and stir well. Again in low flame allow the kuzhambu to cook for 5 minutes and then switch off the flame.
Serve the delicious Chickpeas Sambar with hot steaming rice and enjoy the kuzhambu.
I tried this; came out excellent. I ground 1 tomato along with spices.
This sambhar looks delicious.Shall make it this weekend.Thank you for such wonderful authentic recipes.

Q: Proof of Smith Normal Form theorem It is a homework asking me to prove the Smith Normal Form theorem, stating that

If $R$ is a PID, and $A$ is a $n\times n$ matrix over $R$, then there
  exists invertible matrices $P, Q$ such that $PAQ$ is diagonal.

There is a hint at the end of the question, saying that let $F=R^n$ and $\alpha$ be the module homomorphism from $F$ to $F$ with the matrix $A$. First we show $F=U\oplus\ker(\alpha)$ for some $U\cong R^m$ with $m\leqslant n$. I have done this.
The hint continues and says we then find a basis of $\{u_1,\cdots,u_m\}$ for $U$, $\{u_{m+1},\cdots,u_n\}$ for $\ker(\alpha)$, and $\{v_1,\cdots,v_n\}$ for $F$, such that $\alpha$ is represented as a diagonal matrix w.r.t. basis $\{u_1,\cdots,u_n\}$ and $\{v_1,\cdots,v_n\}$.
However, I cannot construct such basis. Can anyone help?

Update:
R is a commutative ring, because it is the homework of the course Commutative Algebra.


. They have just launched a great new cheese website. As mentioned in my last blog I am working with a team on an investment attraction initiative targeted towards bringing small scale and an artisan cheese making facilities to our region.
Originally our group was planning on positioning the site as an authority on cheese, however this was going to be difficult to do as there are others who are better at this than us. We can however collaborate with other cheese authorities to provide a similar deliverable which is where Andy and others come in. We have since decided to position ourselves as the "Cheese Start Up Authority in Ontario" a space we can and should own.
While we are not going to be the authority on cheese, we plan on collaborating with many in order to bring good, valuable and delicious cheese information to our site. This way we can add value to the website, the visiting experience and hopefully through web visits and word of mouth find those enthusiasts who plan to become the next artisan cheese producers in Ontario.
I undertook a similar initiative earlier in the decade to attract wine industry investment. It proved quite successful generating over 1000 leads and inquires and ultimately played a role in over 20 wineries and 1000 acres of grapes being established in Prince Edward County.
The goal of the meeting with Andy was to see if we could start to work together to share information and content, cross blog, link and add value to each others websites. We concluded that we could and would meet with our invest in cheese team and other cheese experts early in the new year to brainstorm and plan.
The expectation coming out of this session is we that can share information and add value across our various cheese "platforms" – websites, blogs, facebook fan pages, etc… I was really appreciative of how open and willing Andy was to working together. This new digital Creative Urban and Rural Economy really seems to foster and thrive on collaboration. I think we are all going to be stronger as a result of this collaboration.
I will provide a blog update following the meeting to let you know how our collaborative efforts go. And if you know of anybody who we can collaborate with us or who would like to be part of an artisan cheese start up let me know in Ontario.

A little off-topic but hey, it's Saturday: a game/tool/sim to design your own bus systems for real-world cities. "TransitMix is conceived as 'a sketching tool for transit planners (both professional and armchair) to quickly design routes and share with the public.' To start, pick a city*. Then, drag and drop points to snap your bus line to the street grid. And by changing variables like headway and peak hours, you get outputs like how many buses would be required during peak hours and an estimate of how much the line would cost to operate." The asterisk is because there were some issues to getting cities besides San Francisco to load.

I'm happy to report that I've managed to lose two pounds in the last week! It's been quite hard, as I want to eat Bridge Mix, lemon meringue pie and glazed donuts. Instead, I'm eating Red River cereal topped with 1 percent milk and Splenda.
More good news is that Luke left on Wednesday for the oil rigs. He drove off at 7:00 AM and phoned at 7:00 PM saying he was at the rig, and at work! As the rig is five hours out of Calgary, I don't even know how that is possible. However, he did it without killing himself, so that's the main thing.
He then phoned me on Saturday to tell me that he earned $1600 in the three days he'd worked! It's pretty hard to justify staying in the low-pay capital of Canada when he can go to Alberta and make so much. Of course he has to work all night, so that's no picnic, but I just think of all the money.
And speaking of people with money, yesterday I asked Nicky if he and Taya were going to be here for dinner. He said, "No, we're going out for dinner." Sigh. I haven't been out for dinner since I don't know when, but as we all know I need to save my money for tuition and cars. And not my tuition or cars, either.
There's no point in griping, as I have some concrete plans for the business that will hopefully reap some benefits. For one thing, I've already sold some fruitcakes due to my monthly newsletter. All of the fruitcakes are on sale, as I want to get new labels, and want to be rid of everything I have on hand.
Next, I'm going to speak at all Rotary Clubs as I want to get the word out that I have a great product for corporate gifts. Another goal I have for 2010 is to market to more gift stores. My friend Phyllis said my product is 'too good' for grocery stores, and though very vain on my part, I have to agree.
Not because the product is so great (though it is) but I think a smaller store allows more customer contact. Would you pick up a box of something unknown, especially fruitcake, and buy it without knowing more about it? Yet this is what people have to do at Buy-Low Foods.
So, I'm going to take my product out of the Buy-Lows, and stick with the smaller specialty groceries like Quality Greens in the Okanagan, and Urban Fare in Vancouver. Then I'll expand my network of cozy small gift stores where the staff are knowledgeable about each product and help customers buy.
And in the meantime, I'll eat nothing but those tasteless foods recommended by Dr. Oz. After all, I don't want the Rotarians or gift store owners wondering why a behemoth is bothering them about fruitcake.


It's that time of year when many of us start to feel a little restless. In addition to general restlessness, symptoms of "cabin fever" can include a decreased interest in work, an urge to get up and go and a general feeling of discontent with your current surroundings. The best remedy for cabin fever is to get out, explore and travel somewhere new. It seems that your body is actually trying to tell you something when those restless feelings begin to sneak in. Travel has been scientifically proven to be a healthy activity for your body and your mind. Here are nine ways that travel will enrich your life and better your health.
Have you heard that in order to keep your brain sharp and to delay or prevent the onset of dementia, degenerative brain disease or even Alzheimer's that you should do daily mental puzzles? The thought behind this theory is that when you expose your brain to a problem or situation that you have not encountered before that you are opening new pathways and making changes at a cellular level that will help keep your brain function strong. Travel works in a similar way to promote brain fitness. When you travel you are exposing yourself to new environments, new situations, new people and so much more. Your brain becomes challenged, in a good way, to adapt. Research shows that people who have enjoyed travel as a regular part of their lives enjoy strong mental fitness longer than those who choose to stay close to home. For maximum benefit, make a tradition of choosing a different destination each time you travel rather than returning to the same spot repeatedly.
There are two things about traveling to a new destination that make it exciting. The first is the opportunity to relax and let go of the stress that keeps you company at home, and the second is the opportunity to explore an entirely new environment. These two things together add up to one big benefit for your heart. When you are travelling, chances are you are more active than you are at home. There are unfamiliar streets to explore, local sights to be seen, perhaps trails to be walked or mountains to ski down. Whether you are normally an active person or not, travel will get you up and moving and this is great for your heart. A study that spanned a period of twenty years looked at the travel habits of a group of women and compared that data against the cardiovascular health of each participant. What they discovered was that women, who travelled once every six years or less, were at least eight times more likely to suffer from cardiac disease than those who made travel a semiannual event. Now, add in the fact that those who enjoy regular travel tend to suffer from less stress, which is a major a contributor to heart disease, and you can see just how necessary a little getaway really is.
One of the worst things about this time of year is that it seems like there is always some illness going around. At first thought, it might seem like travelling is the last thing you want to do when you immune system is already compromised by seasonal bugs. However, traveling can actually make you stronger and build your resistance to all types of communicable illnesses. When you travel, you are exposed to small amounts of new pathogens. When you are exposed to new pathogens, your body naturally builds up a resistance to them, making your immune system stronger than it was before the exposure. Just remember to keep yourself in the best possible health to begin with by following a nutritionally sound diet, practicing good hygiene and avoiding food and water that come from less than sanitary sources. Additionally, if you are in some way immune compromised make sure to take any additional precautions that are required for your health.
When you travel to an entirely new destination, there is so much to been seen and experienced. You might be an adventure seeker that builds a dream vacation around an exciting and challenging physical activity. Or you might be the more low key type who focuses travel around leisurely sightseeing. Regardless, chances are you are going to be moving your body more than usual and possible taking on new physical challenges. This helps to keep you healthy while you are away, but studies show that the extra physical activity that occurs while on vacation is likely to inspire a renewed sense of commitment to your fitness routine at home. You might be inspired by how great you few after a few days of wandering around a new town or your might set new fitness goals based on your vacation adventures.
We all know that it is good to get away once in awhile, but the truth is that a little vacation might just be essential for your mental health. One study on vacationers noted that after just three days of traveling, most people feel less stress, anxiety and depression than they did before they left home. Additionally, they were able to maintain these mood boosting benefits for weeks after returning home. Even the act of planning a getaway results in increased feelings of happiness. There is just naturally a certain amount of stress and obligation that accompanies everyday life. Even if you love everything about your life, there is still stress and tension that builds up and needs to be let go of. Traveling is one way of releasing the stress, worry and other negative emotions that are a natural part of life. Nearly ninety percent of travelers say that they are able to let go of stress and feel a lightened sense of being and a more positive overall perspective.
When you travel, there is a good chance that you are going to have experiences that just wouldn't be possible on your home turf. You experience new situations, new surroundings, different people and their cultures. If you are like most people, these experiences will take you out of your comfort zone, at least a bit, and this is a very good thing. When you are mildly uncomfortable or feel a little unsettled, you have the opportunity to see things from a new perspective. Being able to experience new situations first hand can provide you with an entirely new point of view. Your senses become alive as you begin to see things you have never seen before or are taken aback by new sounds or scents. All of this opens up your world and broadens your perspective. You might find that your own assumptions are challenged. All of this will not only make you a more open and receptive person, but it will also increase your ability to think through new or difficult situations and broaden your creative problem solving abilities.
What are you going to do with that new perspective of yours? For starters, you can use it to fuel your creative fire. When you travel to new places, the neural pathways in your brain are ignited by the fresh surroundings and experiences. This in turn causes an increase in the synapses that improve creativity. This might explain why many creative types seem to have a case of wanderlust. When you travel and have the opportunity to experience new things, your creative mind is opened to possibilities that it never knew existed. Even if you think you aren't an artist, take the opportunity to try your hand at some creative exercise. Not only is it possible that you will discover a new, enjoyable pastime but creative outlets are good for your long term mental health as well.
No matter how wonderful your time traveling is, it is always nice to come home and rest your head on your pillow, in your bed, surrounded by all of the comforts of your own home. All of these things are often taken for granted until you spend some time away from them. When you travel you experience the excitement of the new, but you also realize the beauty in what you already have. You might travel to a less privileged society and be amazed at all of the comforts that you are accustomed to that are not accessible to them. Also, when you travel to new places and understand what it is like to navigate around an unfamiliar area and search for the little hidden local gems, you can carry that skill set back to your home town. People who travel regularly are more likely to discover the lesser known places in their own towns that are filled with character and local charm. Knowing of these places and visiting them frequently helps you feel connected to the place you call home and the people you share the community with.
There is nothing like going out and experiencing the world to let you know that you are not alone in it. When you expose yourself to different people with different customs and ways of thinking you begin to realize that through our differences we are all the same at the most basic of levels. We all have the same basic needs, we all experience the same range of emotions, and we all have experienced great joy and know what deep sadness feels like. When you experience cultural traditions that are different from your own, you gain respect and understanding of the way other people live their lives. The more people you expose yourself to, the more opportunity that you have to make friends, and there is a good chance that those friends will have very different life experiences than you. Travel broadens your perspective enough to allow you to see that there really isn't much separating us from one another, we are all one small part of something much larger.
As you can see, travel is great medicine for your body and your spirit. Just remember to keep these healthy tips in mind when you decide to venture out and experience the world.
Research your destination and make yourself aware of any local health concerns. Protect yourself as necessary, including making sure that you are up to date on suggested or required immunizations.
Know what foods to enjoy and which foods to stay away from, including local water sources. Sometimes the locals of the area may be able to eat certain foods or drink the water because they have built up a resistance to the bacteria that it may contain. What they digest with ease might leave you very ill. When in doubt, drink bottled water and eat from places that have a good reputation with travelers.
Keep up your regular skin care routine, but also make adjustments for your new environment if necessary. Also, don't forget the sunscreen.
Get regular sleep and try to adjust to time changes as soon as possible.
Travel is one of the richest life experiences that we can allow ourselves to have. Whether you travel for work or leisure, near or far, all travel has the potential to refuel your spirit and keep your body healthy. The next time you feel the urge to get away, stop making excuses and go enjoy the world and all of the beautiful experiences that it has to offer.


Seven politically sensitive topics that the government has prohibited university professors and lecturers from discussing with students, enumerated in a directive allegedly issued by the General Office of the Party Central Committee to institutes of higher education in May 2013. The directive, which was leaked on Weibo and subsequently censored, outlined seven topics that were forbidden to be raised with students: universal values, press freedom, civil society, civic rights, historical mistakes by the Communist Party, elite cronyism, and an independent judiciary.
The "seven don't mentions" appear to have been distilled from the "Communiqué on the Current State of the Ideological Sphere," also known as Document Number 9, which lists seven threats to the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party. In April 2015 investigative journalist Gao Yu was sentenced to seven years in prison for "leaking state secrets" for allegedly sending Document No. 9 to Mingjing News (Mirror Media Group). Gao maintained her innocence during her imprisonment, claiming that her earlier televised confession was coerced. By June, reports came that Gao was being denied proper treatment for worsening heart and other medical conditions. Authorities initially refused to answer calls for her medical release unless she repeat the earlier confession on state television. After continued calls for her release, on November 26, 2015 Gao was granted a sentence reduction and medical release, and allowed to serve the remainder of her sentence under hospital care or house arrest. She has since been denied permission to leave China for medical care, and reportedly harassed by a group of plainclothes policemen who destroyed her garden and roughed up her son.
The CCP has long sought to contain dissent in institutes of higher education. Student movements, such as the 1989 protests, have historically been major sources of unrest. A campaign against "Western values" in higher education began in January 2015.
"Seven don't mentions" was blocked from Weibo search results as early as May 10, 2013, and tests by CDT editors showed that it remained blocked as of April 23, 2015. Further search tests for the keyword on May 24, 2018 did yield results, and attempts to post the term were successful.

Mercedes, Winnebago tease new electric camper vans
By Randall Brink
Winnebago's eRV2 Electric Camper Van.
Two major players in the Class B van space have announced new electric camper prototypes.
Mercedes EQT Marco Polo Camper Van
Mercedes debuted its EQT Marco Polo Camper Van last week, and Winnebago exhibited its eRV2 at the RV SuperShow in Florida on Monday.
Mercedes Marco Polo
"For us, the future is electric – regardless of the size or purpose of a van," said Klaus Rehkugler, Head of Marketing and Sales at Mercedes-Benz Vans. "The latest proof of this strategic direction is our new EQT with all-electric drive. With the Marco Polo Module, we also have a first, simple solution for the all-electric camping trip on offer in 2023."
Rehkugler added, "In the second half of 2023, we plan to expand our range even further with a fully electric micro camper. The Concept EQT Marco Polo gives a glimpse of the upcoming series production vehicle. As the name suggests, we are expanding our Marco Polo family with both products, based on the EQT."
Mercedes is entering the electric RV space in 2023 with this eCamper Van.
The camper van will be powered by an electric motor with a peak output of 90 kW (122 hp) and a maximum torque of 245 Nm (180 ft-lb.). The lithium-ion battery is installed in a crash-protected location in the underbody in front of the rear axle and has a usable capacity of 45 kWh. The EQT can be charged at 22 kW with 110-volt alternating current (AC) using an onboard charger. It can be rapid-charged using direct current (DC), depending on the SoC (State of Charge) and the temperature of the high-voltage battery. If the EQT is equipped with an 80 kW DC charger, the charging time will then be 38 minutes from 10-80 percent.
Mercedes indicated that the price of the EQT will start at around €49,000, or approximately $53,294 for the EQT with 90 kW e-motor and standard length. A long wheelbase variant is planned for later in 2023.
Winnebago eRV2
For its new eRV2 prototype, Winnebago made a big change in its starter vehicle. The company initially based the concept van on a regular Ford Transit chassis with an electric powertrain developed by Lightning eMotors, a company which specializes in commercial vehicles. The current eRV2 is built on the Ford E-Transit platform, Ford's proprietary all-electric cargo van which debuted last year.
Winnebago's eRV2 Electric Camper Van
Winnebago earlier published the range of the eRV2 as 108 miles, because that is the range stated in the technical specifications for the E-Transit high roof commercial vehicle. The short range has raised eyebrows among RVers, and Winnebago said in a press release at the Florida SuperShow that they're "actively pursuing range extension opportunities."
Winnebago has entered into an agreement with Lithionics Battery® on a proprietary "house battery" that will power appliances like the refrigerator, which it says "features a 48V system with more than 15,000 usable watt-hours, and a unique thin lay-flat design stored beneath the floor to maximize interior space."
The eRV2 will be equipped with solar panels that can reportedly provide up to seven days of off-grid camping.
Winnebago said they are working to lock down the final chassis configuration for the eRV2 "later this year," and that the "model could change significantly from this current prototype."
Winnebago has not yet released pricing information for the production eRV2.

We're 'seasonal' campers, not homeless!
Members News for RVers Issue 1088, Sunday edition

No way! Just ask the Ford E 150 pick-up owner that was stranded in the California desert, and it took several portable generators 4 days to charge it, just to drive the electric pickup truck to the nearest charging station. Tow trucks are making announcements, that if you need roadside service and have an EV, they cannot provide any charging services to help. Too little available electricity from the grid, too much social experimentation to eliminate petroleum, and all causing higher expense burdens for citizens, when there needs to be a true balance of all sources of energy from; Solar, Wind, Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear and Hydroelectric to meet the actual demands of electricity production. Remember over 700,000,000+ people in the world don't even have clean drinking water. That requires petroleum to pump it, to run water treatment facilities to distribution pumps to reach humans. A nice thing to think about, but let's focus on the big picture of providing needed electricity first.
Class B camper vans are notorious for having very very low NCC. I would like to see what having the battery/ electric motor does in that regard vs a gas or diesel and transmission.
The torque value looked incredibly low. Also still waiting on the impacts of cold temps…have read some real life info on much faster discharge rates and difficulty charging.
I'm not anti-electric but it's no where near ready for my needs. For those who can use it now and want it, good for them.
In Lancaster Farming , there is a 2022 Ford E-Transit 350 cargo van advertised for weeks. The ad indicated it only has 126 mile range. Not enough miles for most campers.
They can fight over the name "California Special".
Crowman
More like California Special Needs comes with helmets and is only available in the color yellow.
And while waiting at non-existent charging stations that might be within your driving range, what will you do? No power equals no fun. Lots of very isolated sections of Interstate Highways without any services now. Thinking West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. You can add to the list
Bob p
We'll let's see, we have to stop every 2 hrs and charge for an hr, then drive 2 more hrs and stop for an hr, how convenient for a vacation, 1/3 of your vacation sitting while charging. Nope give me an ICE vehicle where I can drive several hrs, stop refuel in 10 minutes and continue my vacation. I'm sure they'll sell many of these as there are millions of people who rush out and buy anything new on the market just to say they bought the newest that was made.
Reply to Bob p
Make it one hour maybe if you're towing a boat.
Small step. Still want to see Class A with 400mi range and charges in <1 hour. 5+ years away but the tech is getting there with the recent semis from Tesla/Nikola.

This September, we would like to invite nationally-known woodworker Jeff Headley, who has written extensively on methods and techniques used for reproduction furniture making and has vast experience in making, repairing, and consulting on the subject, with his furniture adorning some of the most famous historic residences. Jeff's colleague, Steve Hamilton, will be on hand to help with the teaching. The class will take place on September 9, and 10, 2017. The new Woodcraft store in Canonsburg graciously offered their facilities for both the private classes on Saturday and Sunday and the Friday evening meeting for the full membership (see below). Cost to attend the private classes will be $250 and attendance will be limited to 15 people, on a first-come basis. The classes need to be self-sustaining and WPW funds are not used for the private classes, so we need a minimum of 10 people in order to offer the class. To attend you will need to commit and pay a $100 deposit at the May meeting (if you can not attend that meeting, please email Elmer so that he can provide you his address to mail a deposit check).
· How to add fluted quarter columns to your work.
· Enhancing furniture with cross-banded details and borders.
· Scratch stocks and stringing.
· Depending on the amount of time available, Jeff and Steve may demonstrate or discuss a couple of additional techniques. If you have a specific subject you would like Jeff to cover, please let Elmer know.
You will also need to bring in your own gouges and chisels. There is no need to go out and purchase these specifically for the class. Jeff will send out a more specific list of recommended tools.
Our normal meeting day for September 2017 will be moved from Saturdaymorning to Friday evening, and will be held at the Woodcraft store. Jeff Headley will be our speaker and he will be presenting a lecture on his Winchester desk, possibly some condensed version of some of the subjects to be touched on in the class, and anecdotal stories and photos about his many years as a furniture maker and restorer in the White House. This Fridaysession is open to all WPW members. Please give some serious consideration as to whether you would like to attend the classes, and do some Internet research on Jeff's work. For those of you who have access to the Fine Woodworking site, Jeff has written several articles over the years, and they will give you a flavor of what you might expect. Questions and commitments should be emailed to Elmer Nahum (ElmerNahum@gmail.com).
A couple of folks you may recognize seated in Jeff and Steve's chairs.


Jex Malone isn't just a great mystery novel, its a story with a lot to say about friendships, family relationships and getting down to the truth. C.L. Gaber recently had a great conversation with Cyrus Webb of Breakfast With Books, listen on the link above. Cyrus is a great interviewer!

Explained: The Doppler Effect
by Morgan Bettex, MIT News Office
Many students learn about the Doppler effect in physics class, typically as part of a discussion of why the pitch of a siren is higher as an ambulance approaches and then lower as the ambulance passes by. The effect is useful in a variety of different scientific disciplines, including planetary science: Astronomers rely on the Doppler effect to detect planets outside of our solar system, or exoplanets. To date, 442 of the 473 known exoplanets have been detected using the Doppler effect, which also helps planetary scientists glean details about the newly found planets.
The Doppler effect, or Doppler shift, describes the changes in frequency of any kind of sound or light wave produced by a moving source with respect to an observer. Waves emitted by an object traveling toward an observer get compressed — prompting a higher frequency — as the source approaches the observer. In contrast, waves emitted by a source traveling away from an observer get stretched out.
In astronomy, that source can be a star that emits electromagnetic waves; from our vantage point, Doppler shifts occur as the star orbits around its own center of mass and moves toward or away from Earth. These wavelength shifts can be seen in the form of subtle changes in its spectrum, the rainbow of colors emitted in light. When a star moves toward us, its wavelengths get compressed, and its spectrum becomes slightly bluer. When the star moves away from us, its spectrum looks slightly redder.
To observe the so-called red shifts and blue shifts over time, planetary scientists use a high-resolution prism-like instrument known as a spectrograph that separates incoming light waves into different colors. In every star's outer layer, there are atoms that absorb light at specific wavelengths, and this absorption appears as dark lines in the different colors of the star's spectrum that are recorded from the light emanating from the star. Researchers use the shifts in these lines as convenient markers by which to measure the size of the Doppler shift.
If the star exists by itself — that is, if there is no exoplanet or companion star in its stellar system — then there will be no change in the pattern of its Doppler shifts over time. But if there is a planet or companion star in the system, the gravitational pull of this unseen body or star will perturb the host star's movement at certain parts of its orbit, producing a noticeable change in the overall pattern and size of Doppler shifts over time. In other words, the pattern of a star's Doppler shifts can change over time as a result of gravity affecting the star's motion. "If this shift is large, then it must be caused by another star pulling it, but if this shift is small, then it is likely caused by a low-mass body like an exoplanet," explains Joshua Winn, an assistant professor in MIT's Department of Physics. As part of his work at MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research, Winn studies the relationship between an exoplanet's orbit and its parent star's rotation for clues about how the planet may have formed.
How a planet's Doppler shift changes over time can also shed light on the planet's orbital period (the length of its "year"), the shape of its orbit and its minimum possible mass. Recently, Kavli postdoc Simon Albrecht used the Doppler effect to detect color shifts in the light absorbed by an exoplanet, which indicated strong winds in the planet's atmosphere.
Doppler shifts are used in many fields besides astronomy. By sending radar beams into the atmosphere and studying the changes in the wavelengths of the beams that come back, meteorologists use the Doppler effect to detect water in the atmosphere. The Doppler phenomenon is also used in healthcare with echocardiograms that send ultrasound beams through a body to measure changes in blood flow to make sure that a heart valve is working properly or to diagnose vascular diseases. Police also rely on the Doppler effect when they use a radar gun to bounce radio beams off of your car; the change in frequency between the directed and reflected beams provides a measure of your car's speed.

Q: how to install cc on mac os 10.8 without paying for developer program? Several python libraries stopped working after upgrade to Mac OS 10.8. Attempt to re-install them through easy_install or pip brings error message "-bash: cc: command not found". XCode is installed. Attempt to install Command line tools for XCode insist on enrolling into developer program. I don't want to pay $99 for what used to work. I don't need to distribute anything — I'm not developing anything Apple has to do with.
Is there a way to obtain c compiler, make, and all this stuff without declaring myself a Mac developer/paying $99 a year?
UPDATE: guys, what these negative votes are about? You know the answer? You don't like to know there are problems with Mac OS X 10.8? I'm really confused.

A: Command Line Tools are available for free:

*

*visit https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/mac/index.action

*log in with your personal Apple ID

*fill the form

*after confirmation you will be able to download tools absolutely free (or install them from Xcode).

Also check https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer/
Probably it's what you are looking for.

A: You should be able to install the command line tools from within Xcode by going to preferences and downloads. If it is still complaining try using xcrun to access the built in tools. xcrun lets you access the built in xcode tools from the command line.
xcrun -find cc to find where llvm is and then you could setup your environment to work around it.
Example:
xcrun -find cc
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/cc
lomion@basso.local:/usr/bin>xcrun cc
clang: error: no input files
Exit 1

A: I'm not completely sure if this will work, but it won't wreck your computer so why not. You can download the Clang toolchain here http://llvm.org/releases/download.html. You'll want the Clang Binaries for MacOS X/x86_64. It should install llvm, gcc, cc and everything for you.

The future's bright..United's young starlets shine in Tour opener
It's a golden ethos interwoven in the very fabric of Manchester United as one just of the many characteristics that makes this club what it is. As a fan, there's nothing that warms the cockles more than seeing a batch of exciting and fresh-faced Academy graduates straight off the ever-turning homegrown production line straight into the thick of the first team set-up. For all Mourinho's naysayers as a man who doesn't nurture youth, the United manager has continued to prove those critics wrong.
With United's World Cup stars enjoying a well-deserved spot of R and R, there's a younger-than-usual look to the youthful and inexperienced squad that have travelled Stateside for United's pre-season Tour. The average age of our starting XI in the opener with Club America, a tie that ended 1-1 on Thursday, was just 25 with only two players - Antonio Valencia and Lee Grant - over 30. An unfamiliar looking team acquitted themselves well and we saw a promising glimpse into the future with the second-half introductions of seven Reds youngsters. The tour provides a golden opportunity for the Class of 2018 to shine and perhaps even stake a claim to challenge the first team status quo.
Timothy Fosu - Mensah and Axel Tuanzebe have recently returned from impressive loan spells at Palace and Villa respectively, and both came off the bench to feature against the Mexicans. Of this new batch of talented young prospects, these two are the ones most likely to challenge their senior colleagues in 2018-19, having already broken through and not looked out of place in their fledgling first team careers. Fosu - Mensah enjoyed an eye-catching 2015-16 in his debut season at Old Trafford as one of the rare bright spots in an otherwise terribly dull and dreary campaign under Louis van Gaal. Tuanzebe, meanwhile, rose to prominence having shackled his now team-mates Alexis Sanchez on his full debut in May 2017. Two weeks later, an enthralled Old Trafford witnessed the beginnings of a story that has the makings of true United fairytale. At 16 years and 263 days old, Angel Gomes became the club's youngest debutant since Duncan Edwards when he came on as a late substitute against Crystal Palace. A wonderfully gifted midfielder with intelligence, vision, pace and an impressive range of passing, Gomes has continued his upward trajectory and looks set to eventually take the first team by storm.
So too Tahith Chong. With good reason, us United fans have grown increasingly excited about the Curacao-born winger with the Marouane Fellaini-esque hairstyle. With a dearth of wingers at the club, Chong's cameo against Club America was by far the major talking point of an otherwise mundane friendly. He created the goal for Juan Mata and looked at home in the first-team environment, showing several touches and turns of pace, playing with composure and confidence. His rangy appearance and physicality should be attributes that appeal to Jose Mourinho. Having already trained with the first team, this could be Chong's time to shine. Demetri Mitchell also made his senior bow in the same game as Gomes at home to Palace before going out on loan and played an hour in Phoenix. 16-year-old forward Mason Greenwood, the youngest of the travelling party, was handed a late cameo as a substitute. United's immediate priority is to challenge for the major honours again, but you've always got to be looking to build for the future, and that future is one that appears to be bright.

Home/Physicists Biographies/Length standard
By measuring a length using a tape measure we are determining how many times that length is greater than a chosen unit
As we already know, Physics is present in practically everything we do in our daily life. When we ride a bus, for example, we are immersed in various physical concepts, such as the maximum speed the bus reaches, the acceleration it acquires, the chemical energy of the fuel being transformed into mechanical energy, etc.
According to the above, some concepts and measures are used without realizing their importance. For example, to measure small distances, a ruler graduated in centimeters is used as a standard of measurement, but if the distance to be measured is very long, the meter, kilometer, etc. is used as the standard. The length measurement standard has always been measured in cm, m, km, etc.
What is known is that, in 1960, an international committee met to establish rules in order to define the standards of fundamental quantities. The system that was adopted after that meeting is a generalization of the metric system that became known as the International System of Units, whose abbreviation is (SI). In this adopted system, the units of mass, length and time are, respectively: the kilogram, the meter and the second.
Other fundamental units of the (SI) are the ampere, the kelvin, the candela and the mole. Therefore, these seven units were defined as the basis of the SI. But our object of study here is "length".
From 1790, the decimal metric system was created, which sought to unify measurement standards and procedures. As a fundamental part of this new system, the meter , whose abbreviation is m , was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the Earth's equator. Later, for practical reasons, this definition of the standard was abandoned and the meter came to be defined as the distance between two thin lines engraved near the ends of a platinum bar, called the standard meter, which was kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.
With the passage of time and the development of science and technology, it was necessary to create a more precise standard. In 1960, the meter was redefined as 1,650,763.86 wavelengths of certain red-orange light emitted by a few atoms of krypton-86 in a gas-discharge tube. From that time onwards, the number above was chosen to represent the length of the standard iron bar.
In 1983, the need for precision in taking measurements reached such a point that even the krypton-86 standard became unsatisfactory and the SI adopted the current definition: the meter is the distance traveled by light, in a vacuum, during an interval of time equal to a second.
The meter is a suitable standard only for not very extensive measurements. For much larger or smaller measurements, multiples and submultiples must be used,

Inside Israel: The Al Aqsa Intifada

Inside Israel during the Al Aqsa Intifada: One Year and Counting
Sidebar: Personal Lessons in the Mysteries of the Mideast
Author's note: An earlier version of this article, completed in late May, was intended for publication in August but held until the fall. Because of continually changing events and steadily escalating violence in the Israeli—Palestinian crisis, I decided to update the piece. The revisions were finished, or so I thought, until the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center twin towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
The tragic events of that day and their aftermath moved terrorism to the front burner of U.S. politics and diplomacy. A daily reality in the Mideast crisis, terrorism is now a central concern of the U.S. government and nation. Forging a worldwide coalition against terrorism is an essential weapon in President George W. Bush's arsenal that must include Arab and Muslim nations as well as our traditional European allies and many others.
Prior to Sept. 11, the Bush presidency had shown little inclination to follow the lead of former President Bill Clinton in actively trying to broker a peace between the Israelis and Palestinians. But the need to build an anti-terrorism coalition transformed that stance. Aware that continued Mideast violence undermined Arab and Muslim support for the coalition, the Bush administration pressured both sides to establish a cease-fire and resume peace talks. Colin Powell, the U.S. secretary of state, supported Palestinian statehood, which rattled some of Israel's supporters in the United States and many Israelis, including Ariel Sharon, the prime minister. After a round of name-calling and warnings, verbal restraint returned. But the so-called cease-fire has been continually punctuated from the outset by killing on both sides.
Ironically, one of the few positive outcomes of the calamity of Sept. 11 could be that the tragedy of Middle East carnage during the past year subsides or finally ends while both Israelis and Palestinians work towards a final status agreement to settle their disputes.
Prologue: September 2000 to January 2001
The words still ring in my ears: "You Americans think that all problems—no matter how intractable--have solutions. But this time you may be wrong."
So far, events in the Middle East have validated that pessimistic view voiced by my former college roommate, Joyce, after a Sabbath dinner in Tel Aviv, Israel, early last January.
It was a bittersweet farewell when a few hours later, my husband and I boarded a plane at Ben Gurion International Airport and returned to the United States, completing an academic sabbatical visit of almost four months, from mid-September 2000, to early January 2001.
We said goodbye to my long-time friend who had settled in Israel in the 1960s after her graduation from the University of Michigan. She married, raised three sons and a daughter, and became a grandmother. All of her children, like most Israeli youth, served in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Her pessimism, or as she argued, her realism, referred to the dwindling prospects for a permanent peace in the Middle East. She and many of her religious compatriots believed nothing less than the excision of all Jews from Israel would satisfy the Palestinians and other Arabs.
The Palestinians called the most recent violent hostilities between Israelis and Palestinians that began Sept. 29, 2000, the first day of the Jewish New Year, and continue to the present, an Intifada, or rebellion.
When we returned to the United States in January 2001, we left behind a daily diet of media coverage about the Intifada ingested from English language radio and television broadcasts and newspaper coverage. During our stay in Israel, however, living our daily lives, we rarely felt fearful about personal safety. When friends in the United States e-mailed us copies of U.S. Department of State warnings about "unnecessary travel" in the region and urged us to return home, we immediately dismissed the idea. Overreaction, we thought, to media reports that focused almost exclusively on violence that still was limited mainly to the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. Despite the casualties reported by the media, most people we knew continued to live normal lives.
Sharon visits Temple Mount: a bit of ancient history
The Al Aqsa Intifada or Intifada 2, an armed uprising by Palestinians against the Israelis, began Sept. 29, 2000, one day after Ariel Sharon led an entourage, including other members of the Knesset or Israeli parliament, to the Temple Mount in the old city of Jerusalem. Sharon is now Israel´s prime minister, but at the time of the visit, he was leader of the opposition right-wing Likud Party. Protected by almost 1,000 security officers, Sharon insisted on his right to visit, saying it was authorized under the agreements ending the 1967 Six-Day War. And former Prime Minister Ehud Barak also permitted Sharon's visit.
One result of Israel's victory in that war was the reunification of Jerusalem. This ended 19 years of separation into sectors controlled by Israel and Jordan, an outcome of the 1948 war between the new state of Israel, recognized by the United Nations, and its Arab neighbors.
Jerusalem, a city whose origins as a Jewish capital date to 1,000 B.C. in the time of King David, is claimed by both Jews and Palestinians as their rightful capital. Jews, Muslims and Christians regard Jerusalem as holy territory and all three have battled to capture and hold it.
The Temple Mount area, which Sharon visited, is built above the Western Wall, sacred to the Jews, and includes two important Islamic structures, Al Aqsa mosque and the golden Dome of the Rock, built from A.D. 690 to 720. This Temple Mount complex, called Haram es Sharif or the Noble Sanctuary in the Muslim world, was built over the remains of the second Jewish Temple. It is also the third holiest prayer site in the Muslim world after Mecca and Medina.
The rock within the dome of the Rock is believed by Muslims to be the place from which Muhammed ascended to view paradise during the Night Journey described in the Quran. Jewish tradition believes that this was the site at which Abraham almost sacrificed his son Isaac in 1800 B.C.
About 900 years later, in approximately 950 B.C., the first temple was built on or next to this rock during the reign of King Solomon. It was later destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C., sending the Jews into exile in Babylon. And then in 515 B.C, 35 years after the Jews returned to Jerusalem, the Second Temple was built over the ruins of the first.
In A.D. 62, vast renovations of the Second Temple were completed under Herod, but between A.D. 66 and 73, during the Jewish revolt against Rome, the Romans captured the city and razed the temple. Centuries later, in A.D. 638, Islamic armies conquered Jerusalem, and established capitals in Damascus and later, in Baghdad. In 1099, the first Crusaders conquered Jerusalem and slaughtered both Muslims and Jews. Turks, Mongols, Ottoman Turks, and the British all controlled Jerusalem and what is now Israel in the centuries before Israeli statehood in 1948.
Intifada Begins: Rosh Hashonah Weekend
Ironically, at first we kind of missed the action at the Temple Mount. My husband and I took off on Sept. 29, 2000, from Haifa, where we were working and living, aware that Sharon had made his now momentous visit the day before. We headed for Beersheva in the Negev desert to visit friends we had first met in our hometown, Tucson, Arizona, in the mid-1970s. They invited us to spend the holiday weekend with them, and we welcomed the opportunity to see another part of Israel and to renew our acquaintance with them and their adult children. We were so busy eating, talking, exercising and reminiscing that we never turned on the television set. Nor did any newspapers arrive at their doorstep. So we were both surprised and dismayed when we returned to Haifa, turned on CNN, and watched the first of many accounts about the Intifada.
Protests against Sharon´s act began almost immediately near the Temple Mount where Israeli security forces on Sept. 29 killed four Palestinian demonstrators. According to the Israeli government, 14 Israeli policemen were injured. At the time, we thought that even if Sharon and his colleagues had the legal right to visit the Temple Mount, the actions seemed unnecessarily provocative.
An international fact-finding committee appointed by then President Clinton in October 2000 to examine the causes of the initial weeks of clashes did not attribute them solely to Sharon's visit nor to a preconceived plan by Arafat to launch a bloody popular revolt to force concessions following the breakdown of the Camp David talks.
The Mitchell Report, issued May 6, 2001, called for a freeze on Israeli settlements and a crackdown on terrorism by the Palestinians prior to a resumption of peace talks. In the succeeding five months since the recommendation, neither side has progressed very far towards this goal.
Intifada and Failure of Camp David Accords
But Sharon's supporters and many Israelis still do not accept his visit "caused" the Al Aqsa revolt. Rather, they believe the Palestinians were looking for a pretext to torpedo the Camp David negotiations of July 25, 2000, and Sharon provided it. If it hadn´t happened then, many Israelis believe another excuse would have set off the uprising because the Palestinians were frustrated over the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza and the failure to make more progress in implementing the Oslo Accords of 1993. That agreement was negotiated secretly with the Norwegian foreign minister but signed on the White House lawn by then President Bill Clinton as a witness who watched Arafat and the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin shake hands after signing.
The Accords included gradual Israeli withdrawal from parts of the West Bank, increased authority and financial aid to the Palestinian authority, further economic ties between Israel and Jordan, and the prospect of a future independent Palestinian state. But implementation of the accords, especially under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, faltered. Near the end of his presidency, Clinton tried at Camp David to revive adherence to carry out the agreement for which Rabin, Shimon Peres, Israel's foreign minister, and Arafat were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Arafat left Camp David in July 2000 unwilling to accept what most Israelis regard as the overly generous offer of land and control over Jerusalem´s holy sites by former Labor Prime Minister, Ehud Barak. The offer would have given the Palestinians control of almost 96 percent of the West Bank and Gaza Strip with Israeli settlements removed, total control over Arab East Jerusalem, and a modified right of return to the West Bank and Gaza for Palestinian refugees. But Arafat did not even make a counter offer. So the argument and the bloodshed continue.
The current eruption, one year and counting by the end of Sept. 2001, has seen almost 1,000 deaths, most of them Palestinian and enormous disruption to the economies of the Palestinian Authority and to a lesser extent, to Israel.
In a special Web edition published by Ha´aretz (an Israeli newspaper), the paper wrote of the Al Aqsa Intifada: It "has seen attacks on Jewish settlements and their residents in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, (on) IDF troops stationed in the territories and on neighborhoods in Jerusalem." And "there have also been a number of terrorist attacks against the Israeli population, including bombs placed in heavily populated areas such as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. There have also been reprisals for these terrorist acts, such as the bombing of PA (Palestinian Authority) official buildings and a series of assassinations of leading Palestinian figures, carried out by the Israeli security services." Nor has the killing of Palestinians been confined to Palestinian territory. During the early eruptions, 13 Israeli Arabs who had demonstrated in support of the Palestinians were killed in clashes with security forces, a fact that was bitterly cited by both sides long after the event.
Ha´aretz, an Israeli paper published in both English and Hebrew, and distributed jointly with the International Herald Tribune, became staple fare during our sojourn. Along with BBC television and radio and CNN, as well as various Web newspapers, including The Jerusalem Post, we tried to fathom what was happening, but of necessity, we did it through English-language sources.
Israeli Views
Some of the most interesting and revealing perspectives came from friends and colleagues whose lives were affected in ways we were unable to share. For we could and would return home to the United States, while they felt their very existence as a nation and a people was being tested.
Our invariably animated conversations on this topic, which began as soon as we arrived in Israel in mid-September 2000, often found us at loggerheads. I, the American "liberal," argued that the only sane policy was to seek peace. Somehow, both sides had to compromise. Killing each other just didn't seem to be a viable option, I argued. That meant each side had to forsake some of its cherished demands. And as a journalist, I had always tried to maintain some semblance of neutrality.
Joyce, my friend from college days, a Holocaust survivor because a Christian family hid and protected her during World War II, is deeply religious and extremely knowledgeable about the ancient and modern history of her adopted nation. She worked hard to persuade me that Israel had no choice but to be "tough" with the Palestinians, who read any compromise as weakness. I understood the fundamental Israeli insistence on secure borders after she pulled out maps and demonstrated the negligible distances from Israel´s borders to Palestinian territory in the West Bank and Gaza, to friendly Arab neighbors, Egypt and Jordan, and to the hostile states of Lebanon and Syria. Also crucial for Israeli survival is a safe and controllable water supply. Equally fundamental was the retention of a sovereign Jewish state. But this would become impossible if future agreements honored the Palestinian demand for "the right of return" to Israel. The 700,000 Palestinians who lived in Israel in 1948, when it became a nation, has grown to an estimated three-to-four million people today, most of them living outside Israel´s borders.
Still another intractable and sad fact rarely discussed in the Western media but commonplace in private conversations in Israel is the extent of hatred for the Israelis being taught to generations of Palestinian children. Until this Intifada, many Israelis did not reciprocate similar feelings. The combination of a strong peace movement and the collective memory of the impact on civic behavior of policies based on ethnic hatred restrained such attitudes. But we noticed that this was changing, even among Israelis who regarded themselves as moderates in the political spectrum.
I asked an academic friend who heads a department of teacher education at a major university how the Intifada was affecting her teenage children. She shook her head and said, "They are beginning to hate the Arabs."
Even if the politicians are successful in implementing the recommendations of the Mitchell Committee Report (), the layers of hatred on both sides transmitted from one generation to the next will be hard to undo.
In an e-mail at the end of May 2001, I asked an Israeli physics professor, who hosted us during our stay in Haifa, for an update on the conflict. This was his response:
"The situation here is complex. The worst thing that happened is that Arafat, who declined Barak´s too generous proposals for peace, changed the opinion of practically all those Israelis who believed that giving back all the land behind the green line (including East Jerusalem with the Temple Mount), will bring peace in our times. According to recent polls, if the Likud (Sharon´s party) pushed for elections now, it would triple its representation in the Knesset. The mood here is that the region has been suffering from the conflict during the last 100 years or so, and will have to suffer for another 100 years, which is the time it will take the Arabs, and at least part of the world, to realize that we´re here to stay."
Between the end of May and mid-September 2001, terrorist suicide bombings increased, killing and injuring Israeli teenagers at a popular disco in Tel Aviv and young people and their families at a popular pizza parlor in Jerusalem. Shortly afterwards, an Arab became the first suicide bomber who was an Israeli citizen to blow up himself and others at a train station in Nahariya, a small coastal town in northern Israel.
The tensions of living with fear and despair rise proportionally to the death toll. Only time will tell whether our friends are right and this is an insoluble problem.
Some U.S. journalists, writing in September 2001, believe the rebellion is over, and a new, more intensive phase of conflict has begun. Unwilling for the moment to call it "war," these experts nonetheless note an escalation of the hostilities by both sides.
Despite escalation of the conflict and painful losses on both sides, the violence could well be sustained for many months, even years. One result is the convergence of Israeli public opinion about the price to be paid for peace—the left and right are almost beginning to sound alike, the sad and bitter result of the yearlong Al Aqsa Intifada .
Epilogue: September 11, 2001
The U.S. government, the American public, and many media organizations spent the days and first weeks following the horrific tragedy of Sept. 11 in New York City and Washington, D.C. trying to cope with their grief and grappling with the magnitude of events. The nation and its leaders focused upon personal tragedies, disruptions to air traffic and financial institutions, wounds inflicted upon one of the world's great cities, the blows to the country's sense of security, and anxiety over how, when and where to respond. With few exceptions, Americans also displayed generosity, altruism, and a capacity to reach across religious and ethnic barriers to help those in need.
On Oct. 6, the U.S began to retaliate against those people and countries it holds responsible for the crimes. High administration officials pointed their collective fingers at Osama bin Laden, the Saudi terrorist living in Afghanistan, whose al Qaeda organization has launched terrorist attacks against U.S. targets over the last decade. The president, vice president and secretary of state called the World Trade and Pentagon attacks "acts of war" and vowed retribution. The prime minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair, after eloquent speeches to the Labor Party Conference and to Parliament, became salesman in chief to promote the anti-terrorism cause in India and Pakistan.
At the same time, U.S. leaders were trying to prepare the public for a new kind of protracted warfare against elusive, but persistent, enemies whose operatives are planted throughout the world, including the United States. Destroying both the terrorists and the infrastructure they rely upon, without undermining American values and democratic freedoms, loom as Herculean tasks for this nation.
Searching for an answer to the origins of our current dilemma, many media analysts, experts on terrorism and veteran Middle East watchers attribute at least part of the problem to U.S. support of Israel and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian struggle.
That struggle, which seemed headed for a peaceful resolution at Camp David in the early summer of 2000, broke into the yearlong series of confrontations just discussed.
Then came Sept. 11 and the remote possibility that the catastrophe could alter the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and bring both sides back to the peace table. Whether the two sides choose this course instead of the streets to settle their differences remains to be seen. But an ironic and positive outcome of the terrible tragedy in the United States could provide the strongest impetus in the last year to end the Israeli-Palestinian struggle.

Huntsville Police discuss efforts to keep community safe
WAAY 31 learned the city is working on obtaining funds for new technology to help fight crime.
Posted: Jun 22, 2018 5:56 PM
Posted By: Sydney Martin
After a string of violent crime in north Huntsville, WAAY 31 wanted to know what's being done to keep you safe.
On Tuesday, three people were murdered in a home in north Huntsville. Later that evening, four people were shot about five miles away from where the murders happened.
Huntsville Police shared with WAAY 31 that 13 homicides have happened in 2018. Nine of those homicides were in north Huntsville.
Captain Jeffery Rice Sr. who's in charge of the North Police Precinct sat down with WAAY 31 to talk about the department's efforts to keep people safe.
"We actually hear gunshots on the daily around here, but I don't think they actually know about them because it's not being talked about or it's not being reported," said Alesia Wallace who lives in north Huntsville.
Rice told us that's actually not true. He pointed to crime statistics from the first three months of this year and compared them to the last three months of 2017.
Breaking and entering into vehicles is down 19%, burglaries decreased 13%, and robberies decreased by 54%.
Rice told us he thinks he knows what's helping get those numbers down.
"The reason these numbers have decreased is because we have had great community response," he said.
Rice told me the Huntsville Police is working on being more proactive throughout the city.
Part of that started last month when the department shifted officers to work ten hour shifts four days a week instead of eight hour shifts five days a week.
"It gives them more times to work in their zones and to get to know the people who live in the neighborhood they're serving. The ten hour shift has been very positive and a very proactive part of providing resources in our community," Rice explained.
Wallace called it a good start, but she wants to see more done.
"We hear so much stuff around here I think its necessary to have detection, or monitors or cameras to make it faster to come out here before things like what happened tuesday night. It could prevent that stuff from ever happening again."
Rice said plans for some of those ideas are already in motion. He explained the department is working on securing funds for a multi-agency crime center somewhere in the city.
Rice told WAAY 31 money for new technology would include installing devices in higher crime neighborhoods. Those devices could detect gunshots along with adding surveillance cameras.
Wallace told us although there is crime in the area, she plans on staying in north Huntsville.
"I feel like with the population we have they're doing their best," she said.
"North Huntsville is a very beautiful community. It is a very diverse and vibrant and safe community. I would encourage people to move into north Huntsville. It is not a negative part of the City of Huntsville. It's a very loving part of this city. It's a great community," Rice said.
