Action on the Rohingya issue needs to be louder than empty words since Muslim and non-Muslim governments won't help.
The world has turned a blind eye away from the plight of the Rohingyas.
By Siddiq Bazarwala
If the Rohingyas are not getting killed in repeated bouts of sectarian violence with local Buddhists mobs armed with metal bars, sticks and machetes, they are risking their lives on rickety boats run by criminal gangs of human traffickers across the Andaman Sea in desperate bids to flee persecution and poverty.
Alternatively, they are risking just as much by illegally crossing into Bangladesh where they are just as much un-welcomed and forever considered unregistered refugees. For those turning back, they face the danger of landmines planted by the Myanmar military along the barbed-wire fence at the border or the horror of burned down villages.
After spending nearly 15 years under house arrest, Aung Sung Su Kyi however clearly understands Myanmar more than anyone else.
Suu Kyi, who the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "an important symbol in the struggle against oppression", is often branded by supporters of the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and Ma Ba Tha, an ultra-nationalist Buddhist movement as either "too sympathetic to international interests" or accused of being "pro-Muslim".
Ma Ba Tha meanwhile is no longer a loose collection of monks linked to the two anti-Rohingya pogroms in 2012 described by Human Rights Watch as "crimes against humanity" in which state agencies simply stood by but is today, an organised political force with growing political clout considering how Buddhists account for 88 percent of Myanmar's population. A few years ago, a package of four discriminatory "race protection bills" drafted by Ma Ba Tha, was signed into law consolidating further restrictions of the rights of women and religious minorities, specifically Muslims in Myanmar.
As a result and to avoid publicly confronting hardliners in USDP who are keen on taking back power from the hands of the people and Ma Ba Tha, Su Kyi has not only shied away from speaking up for the Rohingyas (who have been in present-day Burma since 1799) but as a former prisoner of conscience herself, has warned foreign media not to "exaggerate" their plight. Her office has even gone as far as to imply the UN and other international aid agencies are helping what the government called "extremist Bengali terrorists".
This in response to clear statements by none other than the United Nations that the Rohingya Muslims are "the world's most persecuted minority", demonstrating how the much celebrated democracy icon is today simply a cynical politician who is putting party political interests ahead of principles.
In the end, the unfolding crisis cannot be solved with hashtags, gifs and tweets. Letters to Consul Generals who report to none other than Su Kyi, the country's foreign minister will collect dust and nothing more.
However many people signing an online petition asking the Nobel committee to rescind the prize awarded to Su Kyi in 1991 for her democratic activism and actually having the prize rescinded will also serve little.
Nor will solidarity marches or the throwing of petrol bombs at Myanmar's embassies by mobs in Muslim-majority countries ever achieve anything either.
Repeated donor conventions by Muslim and non-Muslim countries to discuss the plight of Rohingyas in Myanmar will lead to nothing more than wooden statements often vapourising into oblivion.
As an example, half a million unregistered refugees in neighbouring Bangladesh are herded into makeshift camps that are nearly on par with what they left behind in Rakhine, minus the death threat. To resolve or rather absolve themselves off the issue, Bangladesh much to the horror of civil rights groups has proposed to relocate them to Thengar Char, a remote island in the Bay of Bengal, prone to flooding especially during the monsoon season.
Meanwhile, the offering by Turkey to lend financial support for Bangladesh provided it opens its doors to Rohingyas is albeit a temporary solution but considering how Turkey itself has received billions from EU to help stem the flow of Syrian refugees and has yet not found a permanent solution to its own enlarged refugee crisis begs the question as to how this myopic financial incentive is likely to help either.
Following years of delay, a 771-kilometre oil pipeline went into operation in April 2017 and today carries up to 200,000 barrels per day of crude oil from the Middle East into China's Yunnan Province via Burma's Rakhine state.
Therefore Saudi Arabia too, is not likely to do more than issue empty statements and supply humanitarian aid in order to protect the physical security of the pipeline.
Ideally, the enormity of the crimes being committed should be tabled by the international community with the Security Council at the United Nations, pressured into calling for political, military and economic sanctions against clearly, one of the world's most repressive regimes. But China, Russia and India will block any attempt towards it
What more can be done to help, an exhausted question arises.
In the West, Asia and elsewhere therefore, an asset freeze and visa ban against military personnel should firmly be in place, instead of rolling out the red carpet for the Tatmadaw or military personnel from Myanmar. This includes U.S Treasury Department assigning the country's senior military leadership on its Specially Designated Nationals List, barring access to U.S. financial institutions.
With the ongoing EU arms embargo on Myanmar, sanctions should also be extended to state-owned enterprises, especially those controlled by the country's military such as Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL) and Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC), among others.
The sanctions should range from expansion on existing arms embargoes, military sales, assistance and training as well as scrutinising arms exports into Myanmar by the re-routing of shipments using murky companies and complicated paper trail via China, the country's largest military supplier.
As part of the 10-country ASEAN grouping, all financial institutions from across ASEAN including a key financial center for the region, Singapore should withhold all funding particularly in the oil, gas, power, telecom and manufacturing sectors let alone or at the very least, unwind its balance sheet exposure to Myanmar. Relevant consultancies ranging from infrastructure to telecoms should also be barred from providing their services to Myanmar until it ceases its human rights abuses.
Considering how the oil, gas, power, telecom and manufacturing sectors account for 80 percent of the country's annual FDI stock, the threat for sanctions in these critical industries should at least be tabled until the Myanmar government pledges to genuinely revoke all discriminatory laws and policies aimed towards minorities.
Aid workers, NGOs, journalists and diplomats let alone UN investigators should also not be denied visas into Myanmar or access to any part of Rakhine to investigate abuse and allowed to speak to any refugees without prior screening by Myanmar's military personnel.
Put simply, unless the government of Myanmar adopts a major change in its policy towards the Rohingyas, support and finance from the international community needs to be conditional. In fact, the recommendations of the UN-backed Kofi Annan's commission must be implemented immediately and in full, without using the report findings as a cover to delay suppressive policies against the Rohingyas.
Given the obvious lack of political will to act by all Muslim and non-Muslim countries vested in emerging market Myanmar, empty words expressing token condemnation and lazily calling for restraint will not change the status quo, in effect clearing the path for Myanmar to carry out its genocidal intents, unless ordinary Muslims and non-Muslims rise up and act themselves.

Q: Single value capacitor or two different in parallel for filtering the power supply for microcontroller I am trying to design power supply for the STM32F446 for my PCB.
I wonder if I should stick to the Datasheet of STM32F446 Page 71  and use two capacitors or be careful about it and maybe just use one 100nF. The picture from Datasheet with suggested values:

I started getting these concerns after checking some other designs, where they just used one 100nF capacitor for this micro-controller. As-well after reading this answer on StackExchange about the effect of 'anti-resonance' when using two different values capacitors. He also referenced to this question where it was elaborated in more details. In these slides they mention that 'anti-resonance' effect can be reduced by reducing ESL.
I am a bit confused by all these inputs. I think the most trusted source is definitely manufacturer Datasheet, but maybe they assume I would be using some special capacitors (for example ceramic X7R), or something else I am not taking into account. And why other designs don't follow this suggestion. It would be great if you can clarify this.

A: Manufacturer suggestions should just work.
They even mention that removing filtering capacitors might cause incorrect operation of the device.
You should do as the manufacturer says, and then worry if it does not work properly.

A: The idea in the datasheet is that you have a smaller local bypass capacitor and a larger bulk capacitor located further away (possibly near the power connection).  The longer distance will contribute resistance which will damp the antiresonance peaks at least somewhat.  In many cases, larger bulk capacitors will be electrolytic, which are even more resistant, although that is not the case here.
In this specific case, since the bulk capacitance value they recommend is tiny and could easily fit into a 0603 or even 0402 package, you could consider simply bypassing with a 1uF cap (or even larger to account for decrease in capacitance at bias if your package size has a significant degree of that).  Using only one capacitor will prevent any antiresonance peaks.  Since you will not need to use a large package to obtain the recommended bulk capacitance, you will not increase inductance (at least to any meaningful degree) by using a larger value for bypassing.

A: 100 nF in parallel to 1 uF is a recommendation that holds since the 70's.
They are a low-ESR close-proximity energy source for the VDD of your microcontroller.
Without those capacitors, current will be drawn from the closest capacitor or directly from the on-board LDO or DC-DC converter which, in turn, will draw current from the external power supply.
The worst scenario, in terms of EMC compliance, is when the current is drawn from the on-board LDO or DC-DC converter because the PCB tracks are long and act as antennas.
PCB tracks are not efficient antennas but still they irradiate RF energy when fast varying currents flow into them.
Currents drawn by micro controllers contains a lot of frequencies because CMOS circuits switch fast.
It's very important that microcontrollers currents are drawn from local and close-proximity capacitors.
X7R ceramic capacitors are the best choice because the ceramic characteristics are stable over a wide range of temperature.
Every single VDD pin of your microcontroller needs at least the 100 nF ceramic capacitor.
If cost, as always, is important then share the capacitor of 1uF value.

Resonances
Capacitors have parasitic components inside and it's not that easy to estimate the impact that they have on the EMC signature of your board.
What people do when they have to go in an EMC lab is bringing with them a certain number of SMD ceramic capacitors and a solder iron.
If EMC problems arise, they change a couple of capacitors on the board and repeat the test.

By my experience I can tell you that 470 uF to 1500 uF low ESR electrolytic capacitor as an input filter of the LDO or DC-DC converter of the board solve 90% of the problems.
I love United Chemicon electrolytic capacitors because the are really low ESR capacitors and because I was able to pass the EMC compliance tests if one of my boards thanks to them.

The obesity boom that is sweeping the world is leading to another nutritional problem, that of malnutrition.
The problem of malnutrition is being fuelled both by obesity as well as starvation.
Malnutrition refers to both undernutrition (subnutrition) and overnutrition.
Individuals are malnourished, or suffer from undernutrition if their diet does not contain enough calories and protein for maintenance and growth, or they cannot fully utilize the food they eat due to some form of illness.
The report's authors said that being malnourished was "the new normal".
The 2016 Global Nutrition Report said 44% of countries were now experiencing "very serious levels" of both under-nutrition and obesity.
The study, that involved a total of 129 countries, revealed that one in three people suffered from malnutrition in some form.
Malnutrition has usually been associated with those children who are do not get enough to eat or are starving. As a result, such children have stunted growth and are vulnerable to disease and infection.
These are still major problems in this field. However, a lot of progress has been made in this area in the last few years.
The report's authors instead highlighted the "staggering global challenge" that the rising levels of obesity are posing.
The increase in obesity is now happening in every region of the world and in nearly every country, the report's authors said.
The report said that hundreds of people are suffering from malnutrition because they are overweight and have a diet that is too rich in sugar, salt or cholesterol.
Many countries around the world are on course to meet targets to reduce stunted growth in malnourished children and also the number of underweight children. However, very few countries are making progress in dealing with obesity and associated illnesses such as heart disease.
Professor Corinna Hawkes, who co-chaired the research, said the study was "redefining what the world thinks of as being malnourished".
"Malnutrition literally means bad nutrition – that's anyone who isn't adequately nourished.
"You have outcomes like you are too thin, you're not growing fast enough… or it could mean that you're overweight or you have high blood sugar, which leads to diabetes," she said.
The report said that the number of children under five who are overweight is fast approaching the number who are underweight.
"We now live in a world where being malnourished is the new normal.
The report said that more finances and political commitment is needed to address the problem of malnourishment.
The report said that for every $1 (70p) spent on proven nutrition programmes is followed by benefits worth $16 (£11.25).

The Light in the Ruins portrays the lives of the Rosati family. Outside Florence the noble family lives in a magnificent villa, a picturesque life filled with olives, wine and good fortune. When WWII invades their lives in 1943, the Germans take over the villa. The Rosati brothers are off to the Italian army, working alongside the Germans and Cristina is left with her parents and older brothers family to get through this horrible time in history. But as young beautiful girls will often do at 18 years old, Cristina falls in love with the most unlikely partner, a young German lieutenant. Her family is appalled but feel they must remain cordial and helpful to these enemies or their lives and all their possessions will be at stake. The novel flashes forward to 1955 and two detectives are following a horrible trail of murders that lead them to believe someone is out to destroy what remains of the Rosati family. Serafina, a female detective, discovers there is a connection between the war and these tragic deaths and she is determined to uncover the truth even if it means revealing her buried painful past. Once again author Chris Bohjalian pulls the reader deep into the lives of the characters, into the rolling hills of Florence and bustling streets of Rome. A period in history some would rather forget brought to life through this simple story of family, loyalty and mystery. Highly recommend this novel and I can happily add it to my Bohjalian list of favorites.
Believe it or not, I've never actually read Bohjalian. I really need to get on it!

J.C. Philpot - Ears From Harvested Sheaves, or, Daily Portions - Devotional for June 30.
We read that "no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation;" that is to say, it is the public property of the whole family of Jehovah; and "holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost;" the Holy Ghost so influencing and working upon their minds as to make them bring forth out of their hearts that which should be suitable to the whole family of God. For instance, we read in Psalm 51, David's confession of sin; but David's confession of sin applies to every soul that is condemned on account of sin. When Job, too, poured out his piteous complaints, he was speaking; though he might know it not, for the children of God to the remotest time. So when the Lord said to Joshua, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee," it was a promise specially given to Joshua; it seemed to be confined to that individual; it appeared to be of private interpretation, as though Joshua, and Joshua alone, was entitled to that promise. But we find the apostle Paul bringing forward this promise as the general property of the whole Church of God: "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Heb. 13:5). "He hath said?" to whom? To Joshua; but in saying it to Joshua, he said it to the Church of God; in giving Joshua the promise, he gave that promise to every soul that needed with Joshua his help, that feared with Joshua to be forsaken, that wanted with Joshua his sustaining hand; and therefore this private promise to Joshua was not of private interpretation, but, when applied by the blessed Spirit, suits every living soul that is placed in similar circumstances with the individual to whom that promise was addressed.

Phnom Penh Post - FUNCINPEC responds
FUNCINPEC responds
Ly Thuch and | Publication date 16 May 1997 | 07:00 ICT
Ly Thuch and
Dr Lao Mong Hay attempted to make an analysis of the political situation in the
Kingdom of Cambodia through his article titled CPP: Winning battles but not yet the
war, published in the May 3-15 edition of the Phnom Penh Post.
As FUNCINPEC respects Dr Lao's opinions and knowledge of the Cambodian Constitution
and laws, FUNCINPEC, as winner of the UN-sponsored elections of 1993, is concerned
that a long part of Dr Lao's analysis is on the weakness of FUNCINPEC. FUNCINPEC
does not reject the total credibility of the analysis but wants to clarify the very
important point which Dr Lao failed to mention: FUNCINPEC accepted the very admirable
formula proposed by Preah Karuna Preah Bat Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia, which
was to allow the Royal Government to be led by a system of consensus, as His Majesty
was most concerned with national reconciliation. FUNCINPEC will continue to obey
the noble wisdom of our Revered and Beloved Father of the Nation until the end of
the five-year term of this current government.
FUNCINPEC is a political party built firmly on the principles of democracy, respect
for human rights and the commitments to bring peace for the people of Cambodia and
for the nation. The leadership of FUNCINPEC will never allow the party to deviate
from these principles and commitments. To rebuild a society, patience and compassion
are necessary. Unfortunately, these Buddhist concepts are often viewed as a weakness
by some.
Through his analysis, Dr Lao rightly showed a difference in governance between political
parties. FUNCINPEC is proud and takes full credit for the new steps Cambodia is taking
towards democracy, human rights, freedom of expression and many other rights and
opportunities which the people of Cambodia have enjoyed since the elections. While
some parties may want to win battles and create war, even if these gains must be
made through violence, unethical, illegal, inhumane and immoral means, FUNCINPEC's
leadership does not believe in ruling the nation through control, power and more
bloodshed.
FUNCINPEC firmly believes that the Cambodian people want peace and deserve peace.
FUNCINPEC firmly believes also that the people of Cambodia can make their own judgments
and will once again cast their votes for peace at the upcoming elections.
- Ly Thuch, President, FUNCINPEC Youth Movement.

Kehelata (hebrejsky: קהלתה) je jedním z míst, kde se podle Starého zákona Izraelci zastavili během exodusu (4 Moj. 33:22, 23). Kehelata se údajně nacházel v místě Wadi Bir, asi 57 km na jihozápad od severního okraje Akabskégo zálivu.

What Are Head Lice? Lice is the plural form of louse, and a louse is "any of numerous small, flat-bodied, wingless biting or sucking insects of the orders Mallophaga or Anoplura, many of which are external parasites on various animals, including humans."
Another definition for louse (the two-legged kind) is "a person who has a nasty or unethical character undeserving of respect [synonyms: worm, insect, dirt ball]"
Head lice outbreak is an "infestation of the scalp with lice [synonym: pediculosis capitis or Pediculus humanus capitis ]"
Wait, it gets worse. A nit is "the egg or young of a parasitic insect, such as a head louse."
It's easy to see how an unpleasant person could come to be associated with a blood-sucking insect like head lice. The word "lousy" means infected with lice, but also has the common usages of being bad at something (lousy at sports), or having too much of something (like someone was infested with something, such as being lousy with money).
The terms "nit-picker" or "picks at nits" literally mean removing head lice eggs from an infested person. Nits are even tinier than lice, so removing them is a very detailed and tedious job. Therefore a "nit-picker" today has the meaning of someone who finds fault with the tiniest detail.
Regardless of the meaning, anything associated with the word "louse" or "lice" is going to be thoroughly unpleasant. In fact, I'm itching while writing this, and I've never had the little bloodsucking head lice on me!

India continued their impressive performance with a dominating 90-run win in the second ODI against New Zealand on Saturday and the sides now meet on Monday for the third ODI at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
The visitors have been completely dominant in the two matches so far and have a great chance to seal the series. New Zealand have struggled to decipher the spin code and that remains their biggest challenge.
The series has been a struggling one for the host batsmen, so far, with none of them aggregating 100 runs. Kane Williamson and Doug Bracewell remain their only half-centurions so far, while Ross Taylor (46 runs) struggled to replicate his form from the previous series.
Even the bowlers have struggled, as just Lockie Ferguson (three wickets) and Trent Boult (two wickets, ER 5.0) getting among the wickets. Ish Sodhi (0/43) looked economical, but ineffective on Saturday – his lone match of the series so far.
Shikhar Dhawan (141 runs), Rohit Sharma (98) and Virat Kohli (88) have all managed to assert their batting supremacy. That meant their fragile middle-order was left untested. However, MS Dhoni had a noteworthy 48* in the second ODI, and is in good form coming into this series.
The story of the season, however, has been their bowling. Spinners Kuldeep Yadav (eight wickets, ER 4.20) and Yuzvendra Chahal (four wickets, ER 4.91) are proving tough for the Kiwi batsmen, while Mohammed Shami (four wickets, ER 5.16) has been equally impressive.
With the same pitch set to be used for the second time in three days, it will be another test for the Kiwi batsmen against the Indian spinners. Unless they improve, the series could be as good as over.
It is the Indian spinners ruling the roost, although Shami has been impressive as well. Although the over-dependence on top-order batsmen remains a worry, India look better on paper and form to notch another win.
New Zealand have lost five of their last nine home ODIs.
New Zealand haven't lost three completed ODIs in a row since December 2016.
New Zealand have lost four of their seven ODIs at this venue.
India have won 16 of their last 21 bilateral ODIs away from home (W16, L5).
India have won 12 of their last 16 ODIs played in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia.
With his place in the World Cup squad not yet guaranteed, Colin Munro would want to score more than the 39 runs he managed so far this series.
The Kiwi batsmen were bamboozled by Kuldeep throughout the series, as he continued to be among the wickets. It could be another strong outing from the wrist spinner to lead India to a series win.
New Zealand need to improve their batting against the Indian spinners by leaps and bounds to have any chances in this ODI. With the ball, unless they can manage to nip the top-three early, it could be a tough task for the hosts. There are a lot of ifs and buts at the moment in the Kiwi camp, leaving the visitors as strong favourites.
Back total match sixes to be at least 13 @ $1.90 (bet365).
Back Williamson to score at least one six @ $3.00 (Ladbrokes).
Back Kuldeep Yadav to be top India wicket taker @ $3.40 (Neds).


Winter will be here before we know. 'Winter' remind us of the harsh cold, but at the same time recalls warm and cozy places. But in reality, not everyone can spend the winter in a warm environment. There are places around us that don't touch warmth. Why should we be interested in these places?
The day of briquets voluntary service started.
Despite the sudden cold weather, many people came out to volunteer on the early weekend morning.
On this day, a total of 900 briquets were delivered.
One briquets last six hours, and four briquets keep you warm all day.
Carrying four to six briquets per person, people went up and down steep hills.
The weather was cold and it was physically hard, but it was a time for the heart to be warmed by helping others.
The cold will be hitting Korea this year without exception, but I hope everyone stays warm in this winter.

Das Kasseler Kreuz ist ein mittelalterliches, vermutlich aus dem 14. Jahrhundert stammendes, gotisches Steinkreuz bei Gudensberg im nordhessischen Schwalm-Eder-Kreis.

Geographische Lage
Das Kasseler Kreuz steht direkt nordöstlich von Gudensberg an einer alten Wegekreuzung an der ehemaligen Landstraße nach Kassel, dort wo die heutige Kreisstraße 6 in Richtung Nordosten nach Dissen von der ostwärts nach Deute führenden K 7 abzweigt. Vorbei am Kreuz, in dessen Nähe ein Parkplatz liegt, verläuft der Radweg R 12; früher passierte es die Kleinbahnstrecke Grifte–Gudensberg. Nördlich davon befindet sich die Wüstung Unseligendissen, südöstlich der Lamsberg.

Beschreibung und Geschichte
Das 1,2 m hohe und 0,6 m breite Sandsteinkreuz ist vermutlich ein Sühnekreuz aus dem 14. Jahrhundert und wurde aus unbekanntem Anlass (siehe Sagen) gesetzt. Heimatforscher vermuten, dass es sich um ein von vorbeiziehenden christlichen Priestern zur "Sühne" aufgestelltes Kreuz handeln könnte. 1542 wird es als Feldlage erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. 1642 bis 1646 wurde es auf einem Stich von Gudensberg von Matthäus Merian in der Topographia Germaniae erstmals dargestellt.

Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde eine Sandsteinbank am Kreuz errichtet. 1899 fand man bei Bauarbeiten an der Kleinbahnstrecke Grifte–Gudensberg Brandgräber des 10. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. aus der Hallstattzeit.

Sagen
Mit diesem Stein soll sich eine schaurige Begebenheit verbinden: Angeblich hat man dort einen Verräter, der dem feindlichen Lager im Dreißigjährigen Krieg ein Gudensberger Stadttor geöffnet haben soll, bei lebendigem Leibe mit seinem Pferd begraben.

Eine andere Sage besagt, dass ein Verräter, der die Stadt bei einer Belagerung im Jahr 1387 in Brand steckte, nach seinem Verrat hier eingeholt und lebendig begraben wurde.

The Pope organized a Peace Rally in St. Peter's Square, and we were fortunate enough to be in Rome at the time. It was the most amazing experience. The square was filled with people, 1000's and 1000's of people. People spoke up on the diaz and there were cameras taping it all and putting it up on 2 huge screens. Since we had arrived late, having had prior commitments, we assessed what was around us. We weren't sure the pope was there, and really what to expect, until the Pope stood up and spoke. He called for a period of silent prayer. Some people kneeled on the cobblestones, some people stood, I sat. Connecting with the warm stone, head bowed in prayer for peace. The world was silent at that moment. Nobody made a sound. No cars. No babies crying. Complete silence. I connected with the earth and the people there and the world around me. It was the most amazing spiritual experience! Being in St. Peter's Square with the pope and so many people who all want peace in the world. I still tear up just thinking about it.
Thank you to Ginger for the pictures since my phone had died early in the day and I forgot to grab the camera. What an amazing experience to be a part of such an important moment in the history of the church and the world.
Ginger's photo captures the quiet, magical beauty of the night of prayer at St. Peter's. Such a moving experience to begin our time in Rome.

Israel and Genocide, Part 3: A Matter of Lies and Death
GENGIS KHAN IS in fact an interesting choice. He is not just any murderous figure. Even among the most homicidal rulers, he occupies a special position. We know that Stalin admired him immensely, and for good reason: Until Stalin arrived, Genghis Khan was almost certainly the most prolific murderer in history. He may still be. If you discount the famine under Mao, Genghis Khan may be responsible for more deaths than Mao and Stalin combined: some say 40 million people.
It is interesting to compare this man, in particular, to Israel. History and legend offer competing accounts of the Mongol emperor's life, but we know the approximate story. Genghis Khan was born around 1167 to a minor tribal chieftain in Mongolia. The boy's name was Temujin. Only later would he achieve the title "Genghis Khan" (which perhaps means "Universal Ruler"). Temujin's father was treacherously murdered by a rival tribe, the Tatars, when he was about nine years old, and this reduced the boy and his remaining family to outcasts.
The nomadic life hardened him. Temujin murdered his half-brother Bekhter over an argument: a useful move that made him the de facto leader of the family. His mother then trained him in survival and diplomacy, and he spent the next decade clawing his way to power, slowly amassing a loyal and ruthless army.
When at last he had the opportunity and the resources, Temujin avenged his father. He took care that every male adult in the Tatar tribe — everyone "taller than a cart handle" — was slaughtered. His closest childhood friend, Jamuka, became a rival and a threat, so Temujin broke his back. All of this preceded the orgy of homicide for which he became famous.
It does not matter which of the tales of Genghis Khan are true, and which are exaggerated: whether he killed 20 million or 40 million. The point is that his name was for centuries a metonym for "evil," much as "Hitler" is for us today. In much of the Middle East, his memory remains vivid and despised: Temujin was responsible for a massacre that is still very real in that part of the world, and will never be forgotten.
Israel has perhaps 4,000 innocent Palestinians on its conscience. Perhaps 8,000. Perhaps 3,487. Whereas Genghis Khan murdered 40 million. Some say 20 million. One source credits the Mongols with 29,927,000 deaths.
When we speak of "orders of magnitude," it is not just a rhetorical device: It is a very simple but useful mathematical tool. It is a way of comparing vastly different amounts, without having to specify precise numbers. We generally define this as a power of 10: multiply by 10, and you go up an order of magnitude. Multiply by 10 times 10, and you go up two orders. Hence, one million is three orders of magnitude higher than one thousand: This is a good way of conceptualizing the difference between a poor man and a millionaire.
When we compare history's murderous regimes, we are reduced to comparing orders of magnitude. This is a grotesque Stalinist exercise, because it requires us to abstract from the individual. Unfortunately, it is necessary. I fully expect to be bombarded upon publication with arguments demonstrating that Israel is in fact responsible for the death of 6,453 unarmed Palestinian civilians, over fifty years. Or 8,347.
An individual life always matters, of course — it is the world, and more — but for the purposes of clarifying this particular libel, these precise numbers are not the issue. Worse, they are a red herring: They distract from the crucial intellectual task at hand. We are trying to grasp the difference between the death of a few thousand individuals and the whole-scale slaughter of a nation. We have all that we need — the numbers and the precision — to show that defaming Israel with this slur is a particular kind of lie: it is not simply inaccurate, but it is inaccurate by orders of magnitude.
The comparison to Genghis Khan is particularly obscene. Assume a probably low number for his victims — 20 million slaughtered — and assign Israel the impossibly high number of 15,000 — and you are still off by three orders of magnitude. Even one order of magnitude is hugely significant: That is the point. Three orders of magnitude is the difference in height between an ant and a human being. Now try to imagine that in terms of the butchered. (You can't. The mind is not capable.)
The true difference between Israel and Genghis Khan is probably four orders of magnitude: the difference in height between a human being and Mount Everest. Norman Finkelstein, although he means no harm, is happy to spread the lie that Israel — with its few thousand dead — has essentially the same blood-drenched record as Genghis Khan, this archetype of atrocity, still considered by many the most brutal man in history. The only significant difference is that those clever Israelis have digital weaponry. With this technological advantage, the bloodthirsty Jews — no different in their vampire-like craving from Temujin — have killed some 4,000 Palestinian civilians. Perhaps 2,000. Perhaps 9,000. In over half a century.
It is not simply a matter of fatalities, of course. There is the matter of land. In terms of imperial ambition, we are expected to understand that Israel is precisely as voracious as the Mongol emperor. By exterminating so many people that whole sections of the earth reverted to forest — thereby altering the planetary climate — Genghis Khan managed to conquer the largest contiguous empire in history: 9.3 million square miles, 16 percent of the earth's land mass.
Just as Israel — the modern equivalent — has ruthlessly occupied 8,522 square miles.
I shall leave it to you to calculate this aspect of the lie, in orders of magnitude.
It may surprise us, but strictly speaking, Temujin was probably not genocidal. His intention does not seem to have been to eliminate entire peoples: he simply wished to subjugate them. I am extrapolating from the fact that he had the opportunity to annihilate the tribe that murdered his father — presumably his most hated enemies — and he did not. He left the children of the Tatars alive.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that Hitler willed the eradication of the Jews. The evidence is overwhelming. Jewish artifacts, for instance, were collected for a museum to be built in Prague: the museum of an erased people. Hence we know that he intended their erasure.
Genghis Khan, although he murdered far more individuals, is categorically different from Hitler. He was in fact less evil.
Even if Hitler's personal wishes were not what directly resulted in the Final Solution — this is the so-called "Functionalist" argument among historians of the Third Reich — we know the nature of that solution: it was designed to be complete. There is no debate here, unless you are a Holocaust denier, and Norman Finkelstein (to his modest credit) is not.
The professor hems and haws in this interview about explicit efforts to compare Israel's treatment of the Palestinians to the Holocaust itself. He almost brings himself to say that perhaps the Holocaust was worse, but no: "I don't see how morally you could compare and say something like — it's worse to drag a girl into a gas chamber than to drop white phosphorus on her. How do you compare those things?"
I am showing you how. This deals with a matter so revolting that I suspect he counts on it thwarting any attempt to reason or measure. White phosphorus is vile. It is among the ugliest military substances we have, ranking with napalm. I say "we," because it is employed currently by Canada (my nation), America (Finkelstein's), Israel and Britain, among others. It is being used — as we speak — by what I consider perhaps the most decent nation on earth: Denmark.
It is employed primarily (and paradoxically) to provide either illumination or a smoke screen. The nations I have listed above, with one exception, are committed to the principle of not using white phosphorus on human targets. The exception, however, is not Israel. It is America. The US reserves the right to employ white phosphorus against combatants, and has admitted to shelling the enemy in Fallujah with this substance. Which is to say: burning them alive, with a fire that cannot be quenched.
Those nations committed to using white phosphorus only as an illuminant or screening device, however, are likely to find themselves in Israel's hellish position sooner or later: They will have incinerated civilians. Perhaps children. I suspect most of them already have. In particular, it is almost impossible to use white phosphorus safely in built-up areas.
Nevertheless, there is an enormous difference between the deliberate use of white phosphorus as an incendiary weapon against civilians — which is a war crime — and the reckless employment of it as a veiling device.
Nobody suggests that herding children into the gas chambers was anything but utterly premeditated. Whereas only the likes of Finkelstein can honestly imagine Israelis intentionally targeting little girls with incendiary weapons.
The Israeli case is examined in depth in The Gonzaga Journal of International Law. "There is only one known instance where the Israeli army used white phosphorus not as an obscurant or an illuminant, but to burn away brush." The conclusion, even though it renders Finkelstein slanderous, should not make anyone particularly proud: the report suggests that civilian deaths were a foreseeable consequence of using this substance non-offensively in an area as dense as Gaza. Hence the article's sobering subtitle: "A Case Study in Adherence to Inadequate Humanitarian Laws."
White phosphorus is legal, but I find it impossible not to support the ban suggested in the report. No, it has no effective replacement, tactically — especially in creating instant towers of cloud to obscure snipers in tall buildings. Soldiers will die if it is banned. As will civilians: White phosphorus is often deployed to illuminate a battlefield so that citizens will not be targeted accidentally.
Nevertheless, Israel in particular should govern itself according to this dictum: it is a crime to grant Norman Finkelstein even the appearance of accuracy.
This is a man determined, for whatever harrowing personal reasons, to paint his own people as a race of eager child-killers. Do not let him. If you employ white phosphorus, what happened in Gaza will happen again.
Yes, Hamas has targeted Israeli civilians with this substance, more than once. Israel is characteristically more generous than Finkelstein, however, in their assessment of intent: "The assumption in the IDF Southern Command is that the group that fired the mortars did not know that they contained phosphorus."
Meanwhile, someone with Finkelstein's rhetorical gifts, but paired with a sense of decency, ought to take on nations explicitly committed to using white phosphorus on humans. "The boils of hell" accurately describes tactics employed by his own country.
The report of the girls burned in Gaza was one of the sickening events that caused me to ask myself that first question: might Israel be an evil nation? To understand the facts in no way makes their death less horrific, but it permits the perspective that Finkelstein shuns.
"How do you compare those things," he asks. This is how. First you look at numbers. 400 terrible things is simply not the same as 4 million terrible things. It differs, specifically, by four orders of magnitude: the difference in length between a gnat and a blue whale.
Then you examine intent. 400 accidental but foreseeable deaths is a truly repellent matter, but still not quite the same as 4 million premeditated murders, expressly committed for the purpose of exterminating an entire people. It is the difference between manslaughter and genocide.
Finkelstein, who knows this too, probably considers himself wily whenever he restricts his explicit analogy to Mongol butchers. Americans can be expected to know less about Temujin than Arabs do; and for those who are better-informed, this analogy circumvents the issue of defining genocide. Whether I am right or not regarding Temujin's intentions, his name is not generally associated with that word, so Finkelstein's analogy simply accuses Israel of the less rigorous crime: unspeakable slaughter, on a scale unimaginable.
Finkelstein is fond of this analogy: On his own site, he posts a petition from the group SPHR ("Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights") decrying how he was censored when offering up a variant during a lecture: "Genghis Khan with a laptop."
Unfortunately for Professor Finkelstein, when he takes genocide out of the equation, he has nowhere to hide. If the charge is genocide, the death toll is not itself the issue: The crime is far more complex. When he equates Israel with Genghis Khan, however, we no longer have to argue about definitions. All we have to do is look at the numbers. We are left with the sorry specter of a liar who can be refuted by any child who has mastered basic arithmetic. If you can count, then you understand. You have some measure of Finkelstein, the scholar.
He is more cunning, oddly enough, when he says: "Israel is committing a holocaust in Gaza." This is a more vulgar statement — by far — but it is less easily refuted. A major part of his life's work is an attempt to demonstrate that what his parents survived was not unique. In the context of that work, the indefinite article — "a holocaust" — gives Finkelstein an out: He is not equating Gaza with the Shoah. Not specifically. He is implying it in every way, but he can legitimately argue that he is stating nothing more than: "what's happening in Gaza is in the same class as a lot of really bad things."
Even those without a PhD can be surprisingly slippery in the charge of genocide. Many are aware of the debate over the meaning of the term: they use this to gain room to wiggle. Others will insist that the Israeli crime is a special type of genocide: It does not look like what we have seen historically, but only because it is subtle. "Slow-motion genocide" is a favorite of the more practiced sophists on Huffington Post. Also "passive genocide." The first suggests that not all of the deaths have occurred yet, but they will. The second suggests that a huge number of non-violent deaths could have been prevented if the conflict had been avoided.
"Slow motion genocide" is easily refuted: even discounting international refugees, the Palestinian population has more than tripled since the founding of Israel. In 2010, according to the World Bank, the population of the West Bank and Gaza was 4,152,100. It has grown since. To demonstrate that something is moving slowly and inexorably towards a certain point, you must at the very least demonstrate that it is not moving backwards. Zeno would have found this paradox unimpressive, for the simple reason that it is not a paradox. It is simply wrong.
"Passive genocide" is the more compelling theory, because you can use it to generate figures that look something like actual genocide: hundreds of thousands. These are the Palestinians who would — we are told — be alive if their circumstances had been different.
This figure is almost always calculated with Israel in mind, of course. You rarely hear of the "passive genocide" of the world's poor, whose shocking infant mortality rate could be ameliorated if they were simply less poor. Still, it is worth investigating.
Infant mortality turns out to be crucial — it is perhaps the single most important statistic. The World Health Organization explains that it "correlates strongly with more comprehensive measures of health, such as disability-adjusted life expectancy." They go on to reveal reluctantly that the infant mortality rate among Palestinian refugees is lower in the West Bank and Gaza than it is in Syria or Lebanon. Moreover: "Perinatal mortality is highest in Lebanon, and maternal mortality has been consistently higher in Lebanon and in the Syrian Arab Republic than in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank for the past 20 years."
Therefore, if you truly wish to embrace this concept of "passive genocide," you have to conclude that Syria and Lebanon are committing this vicious but mysterious crime against the Palestinians much more aggressively than Israel is.
Impeded access to healthcare is also said to be "passive genocide." Americans in particular should think hard before embracing that definition: Harvard Medical School has determined that 45,000 people per year die in the United States because they lack health insurance. I happen to despise this cruel system — and the Tea Party revealed its true nature in applauding this barbarism — but lots of ugly things are not genocide.
When the Palestinian Authorities cancelled payments in mid-treatment for critically-ill patients as a protest tactic, human rights groups were appalled, but the words "passive genocide" were avoided. Rightly so.
"Passive genocide" is a pernicious term, of course, because it renders actual genocide meaningless. Every nation with a sizable population of unhealthy citizens is committing "passive genocide."
We know what actual genocide looks like. There is nothing passive or lethargic about it. Genocide of a people who number in the millions means efficient butchery on a scale we associate with factory farms. Yes, Professor Finkelstein, the Holocaust was an industry: a multi-national abattoir. To accuse Israel of "passive genocide" or "slow-motion genocide" is simply a useful way of diverting us from the truth: that Israel is not remotely guilty of the inconceivable crime committed by Hitler. Which is to say the deliberate, premeditated annihilation of a people.
Which is to say: genocide.

MISSION appoints Dr Colin Goddard to its Board of Directors
1st July 2015 /in Press Release /by moonbase alpha
CAMBRIDGE, UK, 1ST JULY 2015 – MISSION Therapeutics, a drug discovery and development company today announced Dr Colin Goddard, former Chief Executive Officer of OSI Pharmaceuticals ("OSI"), has been appointed to the Company's Board of Directors.
"We are privileged to have Dr Goddard join our board at this exciting phase of MISSION's growth and development", commented Michael Moore, Chairman, MISSION Therapeutics.
"Dr Goddard has more than 25 years of outstanding leadership experience in the US biopharmaceutical industry and will add a complementary strategic dimension to our board. We look forward to benefiting from his corporate vision, as we continue to transition our business into a clinical stage organisation."
Dr Anker Lundemose, Chief Executive Officer of MISSION Therapeutics added: "We are pleased to welcome Dr Goddard to MISSION Therapeutics. His experience and track record in clinical development will be invaluable as we look to develop new drugs that will significantly improve the management of cancer."
Dr Goddard joined OSI as a research scientist in 1989 and led the transformation of the technology platform services company into a profitable fully integrated biopharmaceutical organisation, becoming CEO in 1998. He was pivotal in the registration and launch of OSI's targeted therapeutic product, Tarceva (erlotinib) and also directed the Company's financing, corporate development and acquisition strategies, completing several major acquisitions and divestitures and raising over $1.5bn in capital. OSI was acquired by Astellas Pharma Inc. in June 2010 for $4bn.
Dr Goddard obtained his PhD in cancer pharmacology from the University of Aston in Birmingham, UK and worked at the National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, before joining OSI. He currently serves as Executive Chairman of US based Biotech companies, Coferon, Inc and Merganser Biotech and as a Director on the boards of Endocyte Inc (NASDAQ: ECYT) and PanOptica Inc.; He was formerly a Director at Human Genome Sciences Inc.
Founded in 2011, MISSION Therapeutics builds on the research of Professor Steve Jackson FRS, who holds the Frederick James Quick Chair of Biology at the University of Cambridge, by exploiting the new and extensive research emerging on the ubiquitin pathways that control cellular responses to DNA damage.
MISSION has established a broad platform of technologies for the discovery and preclinical development of first-in-class modulators of ubiquitin pathway enzymes involved in cancer and other diseases. The Company is developing drugs to inhibit the proliferation of tumour cells, exploiting certain properties of specific DUBs, such as their oncogene status or association with synthetic lethality, the latter now a clinically-proven mechanism for selectively killing tumour cells.

At our holistic dental practice, located in sunny San Diego, we strive to offer the best of the best in dental technology. Crowns like a lot of other things in dentistry have come a long way over the last 10-20 years. There is a new class of porcelain crowns that are durable and aesthetically pleasing. In other words they look natural not artificial and they hold up under chewing pressure without breaking. Even as short as 5-10 years ago this was not the case. They have been out long enough to have withstood the test of time.
Porcelain crowns are created by fusing ceramics at high temperatures so that a hard substance is formed resembling tooth enamel. The newest generation of porcelain uses a computer generated substructure over which porcelain is baked to produce a very strong, natural looking restoration.
Most caps in the past were made with metal under the porcelain for reinforcement. This was because all porcelain crowns would eventually break due to chewing pressure. Now with new lab processes, it is possible to produce all-porcelain crowns that will hold up under the chewing pressure applied to back teeth. Therefore they provide an excellent choice, especially for patients who have concerns about dental metals. They are also a cosmetic, non-toxic solution for dental bridges or for any tooth restoration.
Veneers are ultra-thin sheets of porcelain or composite resin that are created for bonding to the surface of teeth. This procedure is especially useful in repairing or changing the appearance of damaged teeth. Veneers may be especially desirable on for cosmetic treatment of the front teeth. Another process associated with veneers called laminating, is fabricated by applying a thin layer of composite resin or porcelain to the surface of a tooth for aesthetic results.
Veneers are preferable to crowns for anterior (front) teeth because they allow more tooth structure to be conserved.

After EU's products' labeling decision Israel "moves to the East" #israel #EU #belgium
Posted on December 2, 2015 3:44 pm by isabellamilanalbertin in BELGIUM, EU, INTERNATIONAL, NEWS // 0 Comments
Following Prime Minister Netanyau's decision to interrupt contacts with Europe, after EU's decision over green-line products' labeling, Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders decided to cancel his visit to Israel.
Reynders reported on Tuesday morning his decision to postpone his visit -scheduled from December 5 to 8- to a later date. Netanyau's office stated that the cancellation was due to scheduling, though Israeli Channel 10 reported that the decision was due to Belgium's central role in EU's decision to label goods produced over the Green Line.
Netanyau's announced early this week that all contacts with EU will be suspended, after the green-line products' labeling decision. However the Israeli Prime Minister's decision comes after a series of quarrels between Israel and EU.
Firstly, because of disagreements on funding projects in the West Bank, Israel almost abandoned the European Horizon 2020 program. Secondly Israel didn't appreciate France's proposal for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations to be examined by the United Nations Security Council. Thirdly Israel understood EU's green-line products' guidelines as an "embargo" on Israeli goods.
For a long time Europe has been Israel's first export partner, and the two countries have strong diplomatic and economic ties. But as a result of this turn of events Israel is "moving to the East", trying to built new economic collaborations with Eastern countries. "We are very deeply part of the West in many, many ways, but we look to the East", stated Netanyau, adding that "We appreciate Europe, but we admire Asia",
As a matter of fact, Israel engaged with trade agreements with Eastern countries, like Japan, China and India, so that in the last years Asia became the second-biggest export partner of Israel, after Europe. Commenting on Chinese companies, former Economy Minister Neftali Bennett noted back in 2013, that "They never asked us about Arabs, or the Palestinians, or the occupation, or anything else", stressing that "The only thing that interests them is Israeli high-tech and Israeli innovation".

Small basic is a very fun and interesting language+environment in which people can write their first ever lines of code.
SmallBasic is deliberately limited in how it behaves -- it boasts only 15 keywords.
Some of the limitations are too much though.
The 'biggie' (for me) is that there are no functions, only subroutines.
Subroutines have no parameters, and no return value.
If they did have parameters, then the parameters would need to have local scope. But since there's only global scope, this would be a major change.
So I can see why they didn't add it, but for me it places major limitations on what lessons I can give to a beginner.
No way to maximize a window.
No way to see the code while the program is running. I accept that you can't set breakpoints, or alter the program, or step through the program... all of which are great learning experiences... but you should be able to see the code at least, so you can think about it while the program runs.
If you want to automatically save files, you would need to automatically assign a name.
Sure you can call them "Untitled.sb", then "Untitled 1.sb" and so on.

The expansion of Isuzu Engines' Made to Stock (MTS) Series II power unit range is already attracting plenty of attention across the market.
Isuzu's MTS power units are supplied ready to work, which means customers can put them straight into operation, powering many application requirements immediately and without the need for a further build.
The range has been designed and rigorously tested to operate in a variety of Australian applications and conditions.
From pumping water to driving hydraulics systems, the units are available in a range of configurations and power outputs. Each power unit is put through its paces before being delivered to customers, ensuring performance and reliability.
This popular line-up is in the midst of a revamp, resulting in the vastly improved breadth of range renamed as the Isuzu Engines MTS 'Series II.'
The headline addition to the new range is the introduction of three new six-cylinder (Isuzu 6HK1) variants, including both mechanical injection and common rail options and spanning a horsepower range from 192 HP through to 284 HP.
In practical terms, the key upside of this expansion is efficiencies around parts commonality, especially in relation to the new 6HK1 power unit options.
Cooling packages have also been improved across the entire MTS Series II range, with new locally-developed units designed and tempered for Australian conditions. Capabilities have been boosted for higher ambient temperatures, with plate and bar construction for increased strength and a quiet high-flow fan.
The skid bases have also been upgraded with added strength and anti-vibration mounts.
Adding to the functionality and overall efficiency is Isuzu's locally-developed Engine Controller Pro, which now comes as standard across the MTS Series II range.
Engine Controller Pro features include:
Engine and pump protection
Programmable start/stop/run
IP 65 weather proof enclosure
Pressure / flow transducer input
4G remote interface (optional), and
LINAK throttle actuator (optional)
Please contact Isuzu Engines to find out more about our range of Made to Stock power units.

Wax On, Wax Off - & Aftercare?
Now I am not saying that all therapists are missing that all-important element of providing adequate aftercare advice to their clients following a wax treatment. Indeed most responsible therapists do. However, it does amaze me sometimes when I have new but supposedly 'wax-savvy' client book in with me and they look at me blankly when I ask if they, for example, exfoliate between treatments (is this not important in the prevention of ingrown hairs?).
I remember one (new) client saying to me (as I was doing a final check for any residual wax following a half leg & bikini) "oh don't worry about that, a nice hot bath later does the trick!" It turns out that this was part of the aftercare that she had been previously given. Wax treatments + Hot baths or any other heat treatment = Ouch! Trying to remain professional (and not scream of the wrongness of such advice), I diplomatically explained more appropriate methods of removing wax residue (namely afterwax lotion).
Adequate aftercare advice is crucial, particularly in the first 24-48 hours but equally important is a brief explanation of the hair growth cycle and general structure of the skin. Why? Well, if a client is more informed about what is happening to their skin and hair between treatments they will more encouraged to apply the appropriate homecare to prevent ingrown hairs & better prepare the area for their next wax (and it will also help to explain why a few hairs seem to start growing back shortly after treatment).
So conclude, adequate advice is of the utmost importance for both the client & the treating therapist. It helps equip clients with the knowledge and understanding to ensure satisfaction, confidence in their therapist's professionalism and optimises the success of future treatment. But ultimately, correct & appropriate advice ensures the client's welfare & safety.
Brilliant advice, I have to say far more comprehensive than I've ever had in a salon. Thanks H!
Thanks for showing the process of waxing and aftercare. By following your process, it will keep the treated legs or body part free of hair for longer periods of time between sessions.

Joint workshops are organised to understand the need, goal(s) and establish Key Performance Indicators. Following the workshops we use the insights gained to create design concepts and share these for feedback and approval.
After acceptance of the proposed concept design, we start prototyping, using software visualisation techniques. This is an iterative process which allows for direct feedback and implementation of users' requests. Relevant sample data is used in the project to simulate a real life environment.
Building on the Proof of Concept and with a focus on speed of delivery while maintaining quality, we can start immediately with an infrastructure ready from the day we begin working on a specific client project.
