Thanks for this information to get this fixed. This happened to me with my force SSL for the entire site. I added this fix to my SSL VQMod which I have published if anyone needs it.
I think a big one for US shops would be stamps.com. It would be so awesome instead of copying and pasting. And Endicia is a big one.
Just a FYI, I posted a free VQMod that mostly fixes this.

Feudal ist ein strategisches Brettspiel für zwei Personen oder zwei Mannschaften aus dem Jahr 1967 von Fred Buestchler. Es handelt sich um eine mittelalterliche Kriegssimulation mit Schachelementen, bei der jeder der Spieler eine Armee bekommt und entweder die gegnerische Herrscherfamilie schlagen oder deren Burg besetzen muss.

Thema und Ausstattung
Bei dem Spiel handelt es sich um ein strategisches Brettspiel mit Schachelementen, bei dem jeder Spieler mit seiner Armee die gegnerische Armee besiegen muss. Dies gelingt, wenn die gegnerischen Herrscherfamilie geschlagen oder die gegnerische Burg besetzt wurde.

Das Spielbrett besteht aus einem 24 mal 24 Feldern mit Löchern zum Aufstellen der Spielfiguren. Auf dem Spielfeld befinden sich neben den hellgrünen Wiesenflächen auch farblich gekennzeichnete Waldbereiche sowie Felsen, die durch eine Schraffierung kenntlich gemacht sind. In dem Spiel enthalten sind sechs Spielfigurensätze in sechs Farben, davon je drei in Braun- und drei in Blautönen. Jeder Figurensatz besteht aus 14 Miniaturen:
 je einen König, einen Prinz und einen Herzog (Herrscherfamilie),
 einer Burg mit befestigter Haupt- und unbefestigter Vorburg,
 zwei berittene Ritter,
 zwei Sergeanten,
 vier Speerwerfer,
 einem Knappen und
 einem Bogenschützen.
Wie beim Schachspiel haben die einzelnen Figurentypen unterschiedliche Zugmöglichkeiten und Funktionen.

Spielweise

Spiel für zwei Personen
Zu Beginn des Spiels wird der Spielplan in die Tischmitte gelegt und die Spieler wählen jeweils einen der Figurensätze aus; in der Regel spielen blaue gegen braune Figuren. Der Startspieler wird ausgelost und wählt aus, auf welcher Spielhälfte er das Spiel beginnen möchte. Das Spielfeld wird entsprechend ausgerichtet und der Sichtschirm wird in der Feldmitte aufgestellt. Beide Spieler stellen nun auf ihrer Spielhälfte ihre Figuren auf. Sie dürfen ihre Burg auf ein beliebiges Feld stellen, auch auf Wald- oder Felsenfelder. Reiter (Prinz, Herzog und Ritter) dürfen weder auf Wald- noch auf Felsenfelder gestellt werden und dürfen sich später auch nicht über diese bewegen. Die restlichen Figuren (Fußvolk einschließlich des Königs) dürfen den Wald betreten, nicht jedoch die Felsen. Alle Figuren dürfen auch auf einem der beiden Felder der Burg platziert werden und diese auch später wieder betreten; Ausnahme ist der Bogenschütze, der zwar in der Burg starten, diese jedoch später nicht mehr betreten darf. Nachdem beide Parteien ihre Figuren aufgestellt haben, beginnt das Spiel.

Die beiden Spieler machen, beginnend mit dem Startspieler, jeweils abwechselnd je einen Zug mit jeder Figur, die sie bewegen wollen. Es muss mindestens eine Figur bewegt werden und die Figuren werden jeweils entsprechend den Regeln für diese gezogen:

Mit Ausnahme des Knappen dürfen die Figuren eigene oder gegnerische Figuren nicht überspringen. Endet der Zug einer Figur auf einer Figur des Gegners, wird diese geschlagen und aus dem Spiel genommen. Der Bogenschütze darf keine Figuren schlagen, sondern nur zurückschlagen.

Ein Spieler darf mit seiner Figur nicht über eine andere Figur ziehen und der Zug darf nicht auf einem schon durch eine seiner Figuren besetzten Feld enden. Endet der Zug auf einem Feld, auf dem eine gegnerische Figur steht, wird diese geschlagen und vom Feld genommen. Dabei darf allerdings nicht beim ersten Zug einer Figur geschlagen werden. Beim Ziehen gilt dabei die "Berührt-Geführt"-Regel: Eine einmal berührte Figur muss in dem Zug geführt werden, wenn dies möglich ist.

Das Spiel endet, wenn es einem Spieler gelingt, in die gegnerische Burg einzudringen, oder wenn ein Spieler die gegnerische Herrscherfamilie bestehend aus König, Prinz und Herzog geschlagen hat.

Spiel für zwei Mannschaften
In zwei Mannschaften können bis zu sechs Spieler an dem Spiel teilnehmen. Dabei stehen sich immer gleich viele Truppen gegenüber, bei einer ungeraden Anzahl Mitspieler übernimmt ein Spieler zwei Truppen.

Jede Mannschaft bestimmt einen Oberfeldherrn, der de jeweilige Mannschaft leitet. Die beiden Oberfeldherrn bekommen die jeweils dunkelste Truppe der Spielerfarben Braun und Blau und geben den anderen Mitspielern ihrer Mannschaft die helleren Figuren ohne Burg und Herrscherfamilie. Der Oberfeldherr teilt den Verbündeten den Prinz oder Herzog als Anführer zu, danach stellen alle Spieler einer Mannschaft gemeinsam ihre Truppen auf ihrer Spielfeldhälfte auf. Unabhängig von der Anzahl der Mitspieler darf es auf jeder Seite nur eine Burg und eine Herrscherfamilie geben.

Die Regeln des Spiels entsprechen denen des Spiels für zwei Personen, die Oberfeldherren legen die Spielreihenfolge ihrer Mannschaft in jeder Runde fest.

Spiel für vier Spieler
Im Spiel für vier Spieler bekommt jeder Spieler ein viertel des Spielfelds zugeteilt und stellt dort seine Burg und seine Figuren auf.; die Spielanleitung bildet in dem Fall eine zweite Sichtbarriere. Auch hier wird das Spiel wie im Grundspiel gespielt. Spieler, die ihre Burg oder Herrscherfamilie verloren haben, scheiden samt Burg und Königsfamilie aus, die restlichen Truppen werden von ihrem Bezwinger übernommen.

Entwicklung und Rezeption
Das Spiel Feudal wurde von Fred Buestchler entwickelt und erschien 1967 in der Reihe Bookshelf Games von 3M in englischer Sprache sowie 1969 ebenfalls bei 3M auf Deutsch. Nachdem die gesamte Serie 1976 an Avalon Hill verkauft wurde, veröffentlichten diese eine weitere englische Auflage. 1979 erschien das Spiel in einer multilingualen Version auf Deutsch, Niederländisch, Italienisch und Französisch bei Schmidt Spiele.

The Works of Shakespeare ...
UNLESS Shakespeare owed suggestions to a play called Troilus and Cressida upon which Dekker and Chettle were engaged in 1599, but which has not come down to us, the plot of our drama may be taken as derived in the main from Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, Caxton's Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye, and Lydgate's Historye, Sege, and dystruccyon of Troye. To these may be added Chapman's translation of the Iliad (of which books i. ii. and vii.-xi. were published in 1598) as furnishing hints of character ; especially in the case of Thersites, whose portrait, physical and moral, is only more elaborately worked out by the dramatist. Of Shakespeare's obligations to Caxton and Lydgate there can be no doubt. On the question whether in the Cressida myth he was primarily and chiefly indebted to Chaucer, something will be said further on.
Troilus and Cressida was first published in 1609. It then appeared as a quarto, of which there were two impressions differing only in the title-page and in the fact that one of them is prefaced by an address to the reader. This address opens with the words "Eternal reader, you have heere a new play neuer stald with the stage, neuer clapperclawd with the palmes of the vulgar, and yet passing full

Malawi with Greenlife Safaris offers wilderness safari lodges, plus beach hotels and romantic hideaway camps on Lake Malawi.
"Fancy yourself lounging alongside a pristine shoreline as the Warm Heart of Africa beats enticingly; causing rippling waves, caressing your sun kissed skin and awaken your primordial senses?
Well then Malawi and her lake is an ideal destination for you. Listed as one of the Top 10 Emerging Travel Destinations in the world, by Wanderlust Travel Magazine, Malawi boasts an astounding variety of wildlife and untouched landscape, sustained by the low tourist influx.
Visit Lilongwe, the capital city of Malawi, and get your fill of uniquely local African entertainment, art and culture. Traditional dance and music can be seen performed during initiation rites, rituals, ceremonies and other celebrations by the Malawian people.
The market is perfect for collecting souvenirs; from traditional basketry, and mask carvings to oil paintings. Or why not escape the humdrum of modern city life and visit the ancient Chongonie Rock Art Area; a World Heritage Site since 2006. Found in the central region of Malawi, amongst a forest of granite, you will find 127 rock painting sites.
The scenery is definitely dramatic and ranges from lush forests, high plains, river valleys, majestic marshlands and so much more.
Malawi's main airport for international flights is at Lilongwe. Airlines flying to and from Malawi include Air Malawi, which has a pretty good regional network, with three flights a week to Harare, two flights a week to both Lusaka and Johannesburg (Jo'burg).
The following regional airlines also serve Malawi, usually flying on the days Air Malawi doesn't (so you get a wider choice of flights), with fares mostly on a par: South Africa Airways, flies twice per week to/from Jo'burg (with connections to Durban, Cape Town etc); Kenya Airways flies four times per week to/from Nairobi.
You may use Lilongwe as a gateway to other areas, such as gaining access to South Luwangwa National Park in Zambia by air travel. The Lilongwe Airport is an important light aircraft charter hub for the entire region.
To experience this fascinating country, you should plan to spend at least a week or more.
Malawi offers a spectacular and diverse scenery and tremendously friendly locals, along with the comparative ease of travel here, Malawi really does live up to the reputation of the warm heart of Africa .
Malawi's big draw is the lake: a splendid sliver of sparkling water stretching some 500km along Malawi's eastern border.
Malawi has 32 airports, six of which have paved runways. The accommodation ranges from luxurious lodges to lakeside hotels. Many lodges are secluded for your personal comfort with amazing views of forest-fringed lagoons.
Lakeside hotels embrace a classically regal yet stylish and forgotten charm. There is more traditional living quarters such as thatched rondavels on offer as well, and of course the Malawian staff will try their utmost to make you smile throughout your stay.
"Malawi has a plateau area of Malawi, which is 600 to 1500 metres above sea level.
To the north of the vast Lake Malawi you will find lush tropic rain forests and rugged mountain escarpments. The low valley land is to the south, such as Lake Malawi and the curving Shire River, as well as river basins of peaceful lagoons, majestic marshlands, open savannah country, lush woodlands and dry forests. The dominant vegetation is that of the Miombo woodlands.
Malawi used to be populated by Buntu tribes and colonially ruled by the British. Formerly known as Nyasaland, the county had a turbulent struggle to gain independence from British rule in 1964.
After claiming their independence, the countries name was changed to Malawi. Of interest is the name given to Lake Malawi by David Livingstone, who first visited the country during British rule. Livingstone named the lake "Lake Nyasa," unknowingly realizing that the local word for any large body of water is nyasa.
The name given to Lake Malawi by Livingstone is still used today by neighbouring countries who share the lake, namely Tanzania and Mozambique. Another interesting fact of history is that Lake Malawi National Park was the first of its kind to protect the freshwater species of a deep-water River Valley lake.
WILDLIFE SANCTUARY: An attractive variety of wildlife found nowhere else but within the borders of Malawi. The world's first "People And Wildlife" Centre is found within the Lilongwe Natural Sanctuary. The centre is supported by the locals to help promote conservation and offer rehabilitation to lions, leopards, antelope, baboons and crocodiles, to name but a few. There are other activities as well such as an adventure playground and walking trails throughout a 100 hectare woodland area.
CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS: There are plenty of opportunities to see cultural customs such as traditional dances, performances of eclectic music and ceremonies of ritualistic significance dating back to a time of ancient ancestry. Souvenirs are a must for all visitors and the Lilongwe markets spoils her visitors with choices; from traditional basketry, and mask carvings to oil paintings.
INTEREST IN AGRICULTURE: Malawi is a country heavily dependent on its agricultural efforts. Tobacco is the country's main export and Lilongwe is where all the magic happens. A place of interest is the Tobacco Auction Floors which operates annually for six months, during April to September, and attracts buyers from across the world.
Malawi is a hot country with an equatorial climate. The warm months of November to April bring rain and thunderstorms. An annual rainfall of about 725 mm to 2500 mm can be expected depending on the region. The months from May to September are dry.

Top Auctions /
A Pas-de-deux with Degas and Paradise with Giampietrino
Published on 29 April 2019 , by Philippe Dufour
Auction on 22 April 2019 - 14:15 (CEST) - 14, boulevard Eindhoven - 14400 Bayeux
The auction's guest of honour was Edgar Degas and one of his iconic sculptures, while a work attributed to Giampietrino represented the Italian Renaissance.
Edgar Degas (1834-1917), «Préparation à la danse», right foot forward, bronze proof with a brown patina and shades of red, signed "Degas" on the base, lost wax. A. A. Hébrard, stamped with the founder's mark, 56 x 21.5 x 13.8 cm.
Result: €330,400
The bronze statuette with a brown patina and shades of red shows a dancer preparing to perform, her right foot forward. It sold for €330,400. In 1921, founder A. Hébrard cast this version of the original wax model, made by Degas in ca. 1882-1895. Twenty proofs were made, each bearing a letter from A to T. Two other models, marked "HER.D" and "HER", respectively, were made and reserved for the heirs of Degas and Hébrard. At a 1924 show in Glasgow, the statuette was bought by collector D. W. Cargill, who left it to his wife. The panel of Adam and Eve, attributed to the Milan artist Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli, known as Giampietrino, dates from the first half of the 16th century. It once graced the Bartholoni Villa's walls in Geneva and changed hands for €87,320.

Monster Fish
A new discovery could help save this 10-foot-long 'living fossil' fish
The alligator gar, an apex predator, has disappeared from parts of the Mississippi River.
ByJason Bittel
The alligator gar is a snaggle-toothed fish longer than a park bench and heavier than a mountain lion. Bony scales covering its body make it look like an armored dinosaur, and for good reason: North America's second-biggest fish has been thriving since the late Jurassic period, 157 million years ago.
Many don't realize that the 10-foot-long alligator gar still exists, but when they do, their first thoughts often turn to fear, says Solomon David, a fish ecologist at Nicholls State University in Louisiana.
But "they're not like alligators, lions or other animals that can tear off pieces of prey," says David. "They have to swallow their prey whole, so they're harmless to humans."
Alligator gar, which can weigh more than 300 pounds, are like their namesake in one way: They're apex predators, which means they provide critical ecosystem services to their home habitats—which is mostly the middle and lower Mississippi River watershed in the U.S. The freshwater species keep prey populations in check by hunting smaller fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds, David says. (Learn more about freshwater fish.)
But their role as top hunter has earned alligator gar a bad reputation with anglers and even state wildlife managers, who sometimes tried to exterminate the animals, thinking they were competitors to game fish. In the 1930s, the Texas Game and Fish Commission even built a boat that discharged electric volts into the water. They called it the Electrical Gar Destroyer.
Combine those direct threats with habitat loss due to dam construction and floodplain draining, and alligator gar are now extremely rare in the upper river systems of America where they were once common. In some states, such as Ohio and Illinois, the species has disappeared completely and is considered locally extinct or extirpated. Alligator gar, found as far south as Central America, are more common in the southern parts of their range, especially in U.S. states such as Texas and Louisiana—which is why they're listed as of least concern by IUCN.

"It's a matter of scale. What might be of 'least concern' globally is definitely not the case on the local scale," says David.
That's why David and his colleagues are trying to reverse the fish's decline, for instance by breeding them in captivity and devising ways to learn more about the creatures without harming them. In a January study in the journal Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, David and colleagues showed that instead of cutting into the fish's flesh to gather samples, taking small clips of fin can provide the same information.
"Just the sheer size of these animals blows you away when you're in their presence," David says. "These are river giants."
Fin clips, for the win
To protect gar, scientists first need to know basic information, such as where the behemoths roam and what they're eating. To do that, they'd normally need to take a nickel-size sample of the fish's tissue, which contains traces of elements scientists can use to track the fish's whereabouts.
However, because gar have scales like medieval chain mail, the time-consuming and traumatic practice of extracting that amount of tissue can cause stress on the animal, says Thea Fredrickson, an aquatic biologist with the Lower Colorado River Authority in Texas.
"It can definitely be lethal. There's no way around it."
Fortunately, in their new study, Fredrickson and David have just proven that fin clipping is much easier on the gar.

"It also allows us to sample organisms repeatedly," says David, who notes the fins grow back quickly. "Let's say we catch the same fish a month or two later, or maybe a year later. We can see how that fish might be changing with its growth."
"I found the results [of] the paper very promising," says Zeb Hogan, a research biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was not involved in the study.
Some alligator gars live to be 95 years or more, Hogan says, making each individual precious. (Read about Hogan's quest to find the world's biggest fishes.)
"We need to understand their biology and their ecology, but you don't want to sacrifice a fish that's that old or that grows so slowly," says Hogan, who is also a National Geographic Explorer.
Though the fin-clipping technique has been shown to work for other fishes, no one had ever tried it with alligator gar. Now that it's been proven, the scientists have already started using the technique at St. Catherine Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Mississippi.
In February, David and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and their gar biologist, Kayla Kimmel, caught numerous gar at the refuge, including a massive specimen longer than David is tall. They tagged the animals and captured 10 individuals to be used in a captive-breeding program at the wildlife service's Private John Allen National Fish Hatchery. If all goes well, the offspring of these 10 fish will be reintroduced into U.S. areas where gar have disappeared.
Evolutionary wonders
There are seven species of gar found worldwide, and all have changed relatively little over time, which is why they're known as "living fossils." (Go underwater into the underlooked world of freshwater animals.)
"They found a body plan that worked, and they've stuck with it," says David, explaining that the fish's long, narrow shape allows them to lunge quickly at their prey.
Alligator gars can also breathe air, allowing them to survive in hot, low-oxygen environments, including brackish estuaries or even salt water.
Another useful adaptation? Poisonous eggs. Interestingly, alligator gar eggs don't seem to be lethal to other fishes—only mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and especially arthropods, such as crustaceans. This may mean they evolved the poison specifically to protect their eggs from crabs and crayfish, says David.
"But 'don't eat gar caviar' is the take-home message for people," he laughs
Save the freshwater giants
Freshwater megafauna, loosely defined as species that weigh over 66 pounds on average, are among the most endangered animals on Earth. Global populations have declined by almost 90 percent since 1970—twice as much as the loss of vertebrate populations on land or in the oceans, according to a 2019 study in Global Change Biology.
Large fish, such as sturgeons, salmons, and giant catfishes, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, have experienced even higher declines, because of overfishing, pollution, and dams. (Read more about how dams in Southeast Asia are threatening megafish.)
This is why David is trying to change the perception of these animals any way he can. Sometimes it's making gar puns on social media, and other times it's testifying before the Minnesota Legislature in favor of a new bill that would provide gar and other so-called "rough fish" with some protections, rather than allowing them to be killed indiscriminately.
"It's a privilege to work alongside the growing number of conservationists garnering more respect for these charismatic megafish," David says.
Of course, when he says "garnering," the emphasis is on the gar.


DIAL: Grey 'gradient' dial with day & date window at 3 o'clock. Applied hour markers with tritium luminous plots. Rotating metallic minutes diving ring with tritium triangle at 60 mark. Red hours, minutes seconds hands. Hour/Minutes with tritium luminous sections. Dial signed Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, T25 MC SWISS printed at the bottom, automatique also indicated on the dial.
CASE: 40mm stainless steel, screw down caseback, mineral crystal, double crown at 2 o'clock to rotate diver 60-minute bezel and at 4 to pull and set the time.
CONDITION REPORT: The dial and hands are original and in excellent condition. The case is in good condition with some minor scratches but appears to be unpolished. The mineral crystal has some light scratches but is original. Overall the watch is in great original condition.
NOTES: Under the 30 year tenure of CEO Jean-Jacques Fiechter, an avid diver, beginning in 1950, Blancpain developed its first real diving watch. The name Fifty Fathoms, the equivalent of 91.45 meters, was the depth rating for the watch. It was developed with specifications and collaborative efforts of the French Combat Diving School. The release took place in 1953, one year before Rolex released the Submariner. Following the French Navy, other militaries followed suit including the Spanish, German, Israeli and US Navy. Of course the US Navy bid would have never been won under the protective Buy American Act without the help of Allen Tornek. The Fifty Fathoms had many innovative features in its development using radioactive Promethium 147 for its large luminous markers and even adding a humidity indicator on the dial to warn divers of any leaks. This iconic model is now a collector icon and with so few remaining in circulation, prices have climbed and continue to climb considerably.

Mainers Bought Over $10 Million Worth of Pot In August
Matt James Published: September 8, 2021
Since the legalization of recreational marijuana in Maine, the state has seen a steadily average increase in overall sales and tax revenue month over month. However, the biggest month the state has ever seen in legal pot sales was August of 2021.
According to WABI TV 5, the information comes from the Maine Office of Marijuana Policy. It indicated that in the month of August (2021) alone there were approximately 134,000 transactions for marijuana totaling $10,220,445. Yes, that's just for one month.
To give you an idea of how much growth that is, in June (2021) the state saw a little under $6,500,000 in marijuana sales. Residents who may be wondering what kind of tax revenue all these sales are generating for the state will be thrilled to know that from the $10.22 million that was sold in August, an estimated $1,022,175 was collected in taxes by the state of Maine.
Between June and August marijuana sales totaled $26.1 million in the three-month span. Shockingly, snack food remained static. Actually, I don't have the snack food data.. it was just a joke.

16 Books With Plots And Feelings That Perfectly Encapsulate Olivia Rodrigo's "Good 4 U"
Love the song? Then you'll love these books.
BuzzFeed Staff Writer
Olivia Rodrigo / Geffen Records
Olivia Rodrigo's #1 Billboard-charting song "Good 4 U" released this past May and ever since then, the world has been obsessed with this catchy hit — inspired by pop-punk — that takes a magnifying glass to a pretty universal experience: watching your ex move on while you're still reeling from the breakup. It's a familiar feeling: the vulnerability and anguish of being burned by a former lover. And her lyrics drive home a very specific internal thought process. If you're on the hunt for books that tap right into this song's vibe, look no further. I've curated a list that'll fill that void.
Farrah Penn / BuzzFeed
Black's YA fantasy is brimming with angst and feelings, considering Jude and her sisters were brought against their will to the High Court of Faerie after the murder of their parents. And no, she is not okay. Thanks for asking. Jude is tired of being torn down by the fae, most especially by Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. But Jude wants to escape this world and unlike her sisters, she knows playing by the rules won't help. So in order to earn place at the Court, she must defy the wicked prince — and face the consequences.
In this Romeo and Juliet retelling, set in 1920s Shanghai, we follow Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai, both leaders of rival gangs who must work together to save their city from a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. Juliette won't let her romantic past with Roma get in the way of what she wants, even if it means working together. Which definitely won't be a problem – right? Told in multiple POVs, this YA fantasy will sweep you away into a rich, luscious, and gritty world, and Rodrigo's lyrics truly capture the moody feelings in both of our heroes.

By carefully choosing the elements that are included in the photograph, the photographer can create a mood or story that is not possible with a color image.
There are many different ways to approach black and white photography. Some photographers prefer to shoot in a very traditional way, while others are more experimental and use various techniques to create unique images.
No matter what your approach, it is important to understand the basics of black and white photography. This includes understanding the different tones that can be created, and how to use light and shadow to create contrast and interest.

How do you take professional black and white photos?
When it comes to taking professional black and white photos, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, it's important to select the right subject matter – something that will work well in black and white. secondly, you need to use the right lighting conditions and Lastly, you need to use the right camera settings.

See also: History Of Black And White Photography
When it comes to lighting, always try to use natural light if possible. If you need to use artificial light, make sure that it is placed in such a way that it doesn't create harsh shadows.
When it comes to camera settings, it's important to use a low ISO setting to avoid noise in the photo. You should also use a small aperture to create a high level of depth of field.
Who is the best black & white photographer?
There is no definitive answer to this question as there are many talented black and white photographers out there. However, here is a look at some of the photographers who are considered to be among the best in the field.
One of the most renowned black and white photographers is Ansel Adams. He is known for his landscape photography, and his work has been exhibited in some of the most prestigious galleries in the world.
Other well-known black and white photographers include Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and Gordon Parks. They have all achieved acclaim for their striking and evocative images, which often explore the themes of social injustice and human experience.
Each of these photographers has their own unique style and approach to black and white photography, and it is worth exploring their work in more detail to see what lessons you can learn from them.
What makes good black and white photography?
In the world of photography, black and white images hold a certain allure and mystique. While color photography is now the norm, black and white photos can give a picture a timeless quality, and can be used to great effect in creative compositions.
So what makes good black and white photography? In a nutshell, it's all about the tones. In a color photo, the tones are made up of the colors red, green and blue. But in a black and white photo, there are only tones of gray. This means that the photographer has to be very careful to choose the right scenes and subjects, in order to create an effective black and white image.
One of the main things to consider is contrast. Contrast is the difference between the light and dark areas of a photo. In black and white photography, it's important to have a good level of contrast, in order to create strong, eye-catching images.
See also: Best Memory Card For Photography
Another key factor is texture. Texture is what gives an image its 3-dimensional appearance, and it's especially important in black and white photography, where color can't be used to create the effect.
Finally, it's important to think about the tones themselves. In black and white photography, each tone has a different meaning, and can be used to create a particular mood or feeling. For example, a dark tone can create a feeling of mystery or intrigue, while a lighter tone can give a picture a more cheerful or optimistic feel.
So if you're interested in black and white photography, these are some of the things to bear in mind. It's not easy to create good black and white images, but with a bit of practice, you can start to create photographs that really stand out from the crowd.
What are 5 good subject matters for black and white photography?
There are many different types of photography, but one of the most popular is black and white. This style can be used for any type of subject matter, but there are a few that work particularly well. Here are five good subject matters for black and white photography:
1. Landscapes
Landscapes make excellent black and white photos because of the range of tones and textures they can offer. From mountains to forests to beaches, there are endless possibilities for stunning photos.
2. Architecture
Architecture is another great subject for black and white photos. The stark lines and shapes of buildings can create some eye-catching images.
Portraits can also be very effective in black and white. The tones and textures of skin can be particularly interesting when photographed in this style.
4. Animals
Animals can also make great black and white subjects. Their fur or feathers can create interesting textures, and their expressions can be fascinating to capture.
5. Still lifes
Still lifes can be a great subject for black and white photography. The textures and shapes of objects can be really interesting when photographed in this style.
How do street photographers shoot black and white?
Street photography is all about capturing the moment as it happens and street photographers often shoot in black and white to give their photos a timeless feel. So, how do they achieve this effect?
See also: Black And White Photography Ansel Adams
There are a few things that street photographers do to shoot black and white effectively. Firstly, they use a manual camera to give them more control over the final image. They also use black and white film, or convert their digital photos to black and white in post-processing.
Another thing that street photographers do is use strong contrast to create a bold, graphic look. They use a wide aperture to create a shallow depth of field, and they use a high ISO to make sure their photos are sharp in low light.
Finally, street photographers use compositions that are simple and strong, and they often focus on lines and shapes to create an interesting abstract image.
By using these techniques, street photographers can create stunning black and white photos that capture the essence of the moment in a timeless way.
Are portraits better in black and white?
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to black and white portraits – it all comes down to personal preference. However, there are a few things to consider when it comes to taking black and white portraits.
First, consider the tone of the person's skin. Black and white portraits can often make skin appear pale, so it's important to consider whether the person's skin tone will work well in black and white.
Second, think about the clothing and background of the portrait. Bright colors can often appear washed out in black and white, so it's important to choose clothing and backgrounds that will work well in black and white.
Finally, consider the mood of the portrait. Black and white portraits often have a more classic or timeless feel to them, so consider whether this is the mood you are trying to achieve.
Overall, black and white portraits can be a great way to achieve a classic or timeless look, but it's important to consider the person's skin tone, clothing, and background before making the decision to take the portrait in black and white.
What was the famous photographer who specialized in black and white photographs?
In photography, monochrome imaging is the reproduction of images in shades of only one color, or shades of gray. Images recorded in monochrome can be either black-and-white, or shades of sepia. Monochrome photography was most popular in the early days of photography, before commercial color photography became widely available.

Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at 2:25 PM by Jeffrey Mensah
-Ghanaian diplomat Dr Ibn Chambas has denied that he visited Vice President Dr Bawumia in London
-Dr Chambas was reported to have been the first known NDC person to visit Dr Bawumia since arrived in London

Ghanaian diplomat, Dr Mohammed Ibn Chambas has denied paying a visit to Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in London where he is on a medical leave.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia
In a photo making rounds on social media, Dr Chambas, a former Executive Secretary of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is sitting in a couch with Dr Bawumia and he was looking hearty.

The photo, reports suggest, was taken over the weekend while the Dr Chambas supposedly visited Dr Bawumia.
But according to a statement from the diplomat, the reports were false as he last saw the Vice President in March 2017.
"I would like to state emphatically that I am currently in addis Ababa attending an ECOWAS conference. The last time I saw the vice president was in March 2017", his short statement said urging "the general public to disregard this pictures".
Dr Mohammed Ibn Chambas
The Vice President traveled to London on Friday, January 19 after he fell sick at work and was advised by his doctors to take some rest.
His being away, which coincided with travels by President Nana Akufo-Addo to Liberia and Ethiopia, became a subject of intense debate as many, especially communicators of the opposition NDC, questioned what might caused sickness.
There were even rumours of Dr Bawumia suffering a stroke until a photos and videos of him and his wife, Samira walking the streets of London surfaced online last Saturday.

The latest photo of him with Dr Chambas seemed to have confirmed the suggestion by Saturday's photos and videos that the Vice President was well and not in any danger as feared.

Dr Chambas' purported visit wad deemed as significant as he was the only person with NDC roots to have visited Dr Bawumia in London.

But the denial brings up a lot of questions as to who is behind the circulation of the picture and to what purpose.
Prior to becoming a diplomat, Dr Chambas was a leading member of the NDC serving Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1993-1997 and Deputy Minister of Education from 1997-2001
He also served as Member of Parliament for Bimbilla on NDC's ticket, on two occasions, from 1993 to 1997 and 2001 to 2002 when he resigned to for the ECOWAS position.
He is currently the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Office for West Africa (UNOWA).

This is awesome! You guys have been on a roll the past few years with all these nifty Web tools and elements.
Developing for the 'net has never been so much fun! :D I'll definitely be using the Reader element; it'd make a good side-block/widget for my defunct WordPress blog.
Thanks a lot for makin' these!
Quero deixar uma reclamação: Não consigo mudar minha imagem da comunidade que tenho, por que o link não esta funcionando por erro de vcs, que já ocorreu algumas vezes, se continuar assim ta dificil de trabalhar, vou ter que deixar o orkut, agente não consegue fazer as coisas por que os links não funcionam.

A Vegan Bodybuilding Diet = Massive Plant Fueled Muscles.
There's a new trend shattering everything we thought we knew about protein and building shapely muscle…A vegan bodybuilding diet. Is it REALLY possible to get swollen off beans, rice and veggies? I think these vegan bodybuilders bodies speak for themselves!
To many this might seem unbelievable, but I'm here to tell ya that times have changed for the bodybuilding world and our skewed perspective on animal protein! You can read more about why plant based/vegan protein is the best thing that happened to your body here.
Richard Campbell is a certified Personal Training Specialist, muscle/fitness model, and Child and Youth Counselor for high school and elementary students. He's also one shredded vegan!
"I don't really count my calories/micros that often. I would estimate 3000 calories when off season they go up and when hitting the stage it will varies depending on what point of prep I am at.
From the limited opportunities I had to speak with Richard, I have to say that he's totally a awesome guy!
Vegan since 1998, Torre Washington is another epic example of a successful vegan bodybuilding diet.A serious legend in the vegan bodybuilding world as well as the traditional one. He got his Pro card on only his second bodybuilding competition!
He's been shattering the non-vegan competitions presumptions about plant based protein ever since. Go Torre!
Christian Garcia is a lightweight competitive vegan bodybuilder and currently competes on the Plant Built bodybuilding team. He was first motivated to go vegan for health reasons, but that soon changed into a heartfelt compassion for animals.
"At the moment, I am eating around 2,500 calories per day, but that all varies from week to week. Each week my caloric intake and macros change depending on my progress. Typically, it increases during my off-season and slowly drops during my on-season.
I work out five days per week (Monday through Friday) and take the weekends off. Each day is a different workout: upper body, lower body, chest/delts/back, legs, and delts/shoulders.
3x Colorado Golden Glove State Champion boxer with a 6-0 record, Vanessa Espinoza is one lean plant powered machine! She loves to lift and prove that you can get swollen without harming animals for food! Her vegan bodybuilding diet is loaded with nutritious and wholesome plant based foods.
"I don't count calories. There is no need to count calories because I always eat "real food". My food is my fuel. Simple and clean.
"My calories range between 2000 – 4000, depending on whether I am building, or in competition season and maintaining a stage ready physique.
Either way, getting in nutrient dense, calorically dense, and protein rich meals has never been a problem on a plant based diet. I am thankful that I can fuel myself compassionately and do this to be the best representative I can be for the animals.
One of the most inspiring things I learned about Robbie was his dedication to bodybuilding and the vegan lifestyle in the midst of battling cancer and chemotherapy. He still pushes his hardest to do what he can to stay fit.
I go to my home gym 10 days in a row hitting a different body part each time as it takes only 4 to 5 mins a workout.
"The calories I consume really depend on what my current physique goals are. I average maybe around 3000 calories but it has gone down to around 2000 at the end stages of getting lean and as high as 4000 when growing! But it is all relative to someone's metabolic requirement at any one time and their goal.
Like most people, I lead a busy life with not a lot of time for working out! So my favourite workouts are total-body sessions that I do 3x a week for 1 hour each.
"My calorie intake is pretty average.. maybe about 3000 per day.. A little less during cutting phase.
Samantha happens to be the first-ever vegan WNBF bikini pro. She is also a self proclaimed "vegan fitness freak who's passionate about promoting a plant-based diet to the masses." Maybe I should be that passionate if it means I can look like that (Instantly feeling motivated to get shredded)!
"It really depends on my goals at the time and even more importantly, my activity level. I tend to be a little all over the place when it comes to my caloric intake, mostly because I like to try different methods all the time.
I'll easily chow down 2K calories. When I'm cutting fat and trying to lean down for a competition, I'll eat as little as 1,200 calories per day. But I'm not a happy camper.
How many days a week do you train at the gym. (you can add your workout routine if you want as well). Well I'm an admitted meathead (meatless meathead of course.) And honestly, whether I'm training to compete or not, I'm still in the gym a good five or six days per week.
Want to be personally trained by Samantha? You can check out Samantha's website for coaching and other workout advice!
"It honestly all depends on my competitions and where I am at in my season. When I am in my "off season" I eat around 1800-1900 calories. That starts to decrease when I'm getting closer to whichever show I am prepping for. It can get as low as about 1200 calories. Right now, I am consuming about 1500-1600 calories to just maintain the body that I currently have.
Some of her favorite exercises include "reserve hack squat, one arm dumbbell row, sumo squats, and rear delt face pulls." She claims to just be a "regular girl" and adds hope to the idea that anyone can embrace the vegan lifestyle and find success and RESULTS.
"Currently I am around 1800 calories, give or take. I try to focus more on my macros than calories, which can differ depending on how companies report their calorie content.
I don't quite understand how that works, I just know that macros are more important for me to track than strictly calories.
I try to hit 236 g carbs, 50 g fat, and 130 g protein each day. This is carefully monitored and calculated for me by my coach, Dani Taylor.
"My daily caloric intake varies depending on if I'm trying to maintain/gain weight or preparing for a contest, but my typical day falls around 4000 calories which is made up mostly by beans, fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Motivated by animal and environmental welfare, Erin has become a new standard in vegan bodybuilding. She considers herself as a walking billboard for the plant fueled lifestyle and vegan bodybuilding diet and looks to positively influence others to embrace it by her example.
"I don't presently track my nutrition when I'm not in competition prep, but I'd say I easily eat around 2,500 calories a day. When I am in contest prep I start at about that level and then slowly taper down.
The lowest I have ever been is about 1675 and that is only for a week or two at a time. I love cooking and baking and training hard far too much to restrict myself when it comes to food.
I have also noticed that not tracking my eating when I'm not in contest prep makes it much easier to follow a meal plan when I need to.
I usually train six to seven days a week. I don't do much cardio now that I'm in the offseason, maybe 15 minutes here and there on the elliptical but spend lots of time walking my two dogs and dogs at the animal shelter.
Monday – high volume lower body day, including squats, walking lunges, plie squats, Romanian deadlifts, leg press and/or leg extension and leg curl, core work focusing on ab wheel and leg raises.
Tuesday – back and bis, including pull up variations and rowing, and a combination of biceps work with elbows in front and behind the body.
Wednesday – chest, tris, shoulders, with a focus on dumbbell work.
Thursday – alternating each week between heavy and speed work of squats, sumo deadlifts, lower back work, ab work in the form of "hollow outs".
Ian is a 35 year old Holistic Health Coach, Personal Trainer, Entreprenuer, Speaker, RAW Plant Based Bodybuilder. After being diagnosed with a laundry list of Health Challenges 5 years ago ranging from High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Sugar Metabolism issues, Chronic Digestive Problems, and Mal-absorption issues, he decided it was time to explore a new path.
Up until 5 years ago, Ian did not eat ANY vegetables, because he didn't like the taste and texture. I'de say that's about as far from a vegan bodybuilding diet as you can get!As many do, he ate the standard american diet with a heavy emphasis on Animal Proteins and Starches, junk food, and he used copious amounts of Whey Proteins and Supplements.
After searching for answers on how to heal your body naturally, he learned about the power of juicing your vegetables, and that you could make vegetable juices taste sweet and delicious by simply adding apples and lemons to cut down on the acidity.
After learning about this, he was immediately moved and inspired and began adding in green juice recipes on a daily basis. As he embarked on his new Health Journey, Ian was able to transition from eating the Standard American Diet to embracing eating a fully RAW Plant Based Living Food Lifestyle.
He lost a total of 75 lbs. and was able to restore his body back to perfect health by changing the way that he ate.
"This is an excellent question and one that I get often. I've been eating RAW now for almost 6 years, so i've been able to develope a system and learn how my body operates and exactly what it needs to be able to build muscle and keep down the body fat. I don't count calories.
Instead, I choose to be mindful about what I am eating to ensure that I give my body enough fuel to get me through the day and any activities I may participate in.
The bulk of my calories come from fruits like bananas, dates, figs, mangos. So for example, I generally eat anywhere from 12 to 30 bananas per day depending on how much I have going on and if I plan to do a lot of strength training, then I'll aim to eat upwards of 20-30 bananas.
I listen to my body and pay attention to how I am feeling to determine my workout schedule. If I am feeling tired and sluggish, or just not 100%, then I will not go to the gym. I might go for a bike ride or a hike in nature instead of forcing my body to do something that its not feeling like doing. This takes patience and time to develope, but totally worth the effort.
We get so much more out of exercise and workouts when we honor our body and what its trying to communicate to us. When I am feeling strong and have the energy, I will generally workout 3-4 days per week with weights and 2 days with something fun outdoors that allows me to play like a kid would.
Wow! You guys missed the king of vegan bodybuilders (vegan since 1998) Torre Washington that has multiple pro card wins!
Love your site and convincing to move towards Vegan. Have you thought of starting an Affiliate Program to sell your Protein ?
Unfortunately Robbie hanzley died of cancer two weeks ago. Train hard and stay safe.
Really amazing results from those hard working vegans!!
Robbie Hanzley took in 4000 calories a day while under chemotherapy… but there is scientific evidence that caloric restriction might prevent or slow down cancers (Google: caloric restriction and cancer).


News Americas, ORLANDO, FL, Weds. Mar. 30, 2011: Former OLINT head and Jamaica national, David A. Smith, has admitted to guilt in a $220 million international Ponzi fraud and money laundering scheme.
Smith, 41, in a plea deal with prosecutors, admitted in Federal District Court in Orlando to four counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, and 18 counts of money laundering.
Smith's guilty plea follows an investigation conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Internal Revenue Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to the plea agreement, for more than three years, Smith executed a Ponzi scheme to defraud over 6,000 investors located in the Middle District of Florida and elsewhere out of over $220 million.
Smith led investors to believe that he was investing their money in foreign currency trading and earning, on average, 10 percent per month, when in fact he was not trading their funds. Foreign currency trading is a highly volatile and risky investment vehicle that is regulated in the United States by the Commodity Futures Commission and the National Futures Association.
In addition to defrauding those investors, Smith conspired to launder the proceeds that were received in his scam, and he participated in the laundering of millions of dollars of proceeds that were obtained as a result of wire fraud.
The four counts of wire fraud are based on Smith's transmitting false and fraudulent account statements to several investors through email and the internet website for his investment club.
Smith also conspired with others to launder approximately $128 million of proceeds that were obtained as a result of the wire fraud scheme, and he in fact laundered those millions of dollars. The purpose of the money laundering engaged in by Smith and his conspirators was to conceal and disguise the nature, the location, the source, the ownership and the control of the proceeds of the wire fraud.
During the entire time that Smith operated his Ponzi scheme, the only source of income for him and his wife was from investors' funds. Smith's operation of the Ponzi scheme effectively ended on July 15, 2008, when the Royal Turks and Caicos Police Force, Financial Crimes Unit, executed search warrants at Smith's place of business and residence in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands.
The wire fraud counts carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison, a fine of $250,000, and a term of supervised release of not more than three years. In addition, for each count of wire fraud, the fine may be assessed at twice the amount of gross gain or loss. The money laundering counts each carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison, a fine of $500,000 or twice the value of the property involved in the transaction, whichever is greater, and a term of supervised release of not more than three years.
Last year, Smith pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges filed in The Turks and Caicos Islands arising from his investment scam there, and he was sentenced to serve 6.5 years in prison.
An information charging Smith with these offenses was filed on Aug. 18, 2010. In November 2010, ICE HSI special agents traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands to bring Smith to the United States. His initial appearance in Federal District Court in Orlando was on Nov. 19, 2010 and the case was set for trial in April 2011.

Student's Death Mourned in Yale Community
A "brilliant" and "vibrant" senior was found dead early Wednesday after her hair apparently got caught in a lathe during a laboratory accident. The Yale Community is in mourning.
The astronomy and physics major was just weeks away from graduation and was looking forward to beginning a career in oceanography after she graduated. She had spent last summer working as a student fellow in the competitive Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Massachusetts.
The young scientist was working on a class project when the accident occurred. She was in the Sterling Chemistry Laboratory. Other students working in the building found her body and called police between 2 and 3 a.m.
The Medical Examiner said she died of accidental asphyxia by neck compression.
The Yale President and Vice President met with the young woman's family to express condolences and to relay that the university's practices were under investigation. They said that her parents are planning to return to the campus before the end of the semester to attend a memorial service in their daughter's honor.
The incident has prompted Yale University to conduct a thorough review of safety policies and laboratory practices – even of the procedures taken in the machine shops and other facilities with power equipment that is accessed and operated by undergraduates. According a NY City Injury Lawyer following the case, Yale is limiting access to facilities until the review is complete. Students must submit lab working schedules and be approved to work only during specified hours.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has opened an investigation as well. They are exploring conditions in the laboratory. The NY City Injury Lawyer said their purpose is to "determine what safety standards apply and whether or not the employer complied with those standards." Colleges in Nassau and Suffolk Counties are trying to protect their student from accidents like this.
"By all reports, [this young lady] was an exceptional young woman, an outstanding student and young scientist, a dear friend and a vibrant member of this community," Yale's Vice President wrote on the school's website. "We will find ways in the next days to gather to celebrate her life and grieve this loss."
Injuries of this magnitude shake a family. The professional legal counsel of a NY City City Injury Attorney can help you sift through all the legal implications of the actions of all involved. They can help you make sense of the options you now face.Stephen Bilkis & Associates with its NY Injury Lawyers, has convenient locations throughout the New York Metropolitan area including Flushing, NY.

In order to liquidate a good amount of household items, it's a good idea to get the help of estate buyers or to hold an estate sale. Experienced estate buyers know how to get the job done, but you can easily organize on your own even if you are liquidating your estate for the first time.
The most important advice you will get from an experienced liquidator is to take your time to get things ready. Preparing can take a couple of days to a week depending on which method you choose to use. Evaluating all of the items, organizing and marketing the sale properly is not a quick and simple task so you should expect this step to take some time.
While de-cluttering the house, make sure whatever you are selling is in good condition. You are more likely to get a better price for an undamaged china set rather than one with a chipped teacup or missing plate. It is also a good idea to offer a mix of price points from 'garage sale' tchotchkes to more 'high-end' collectibles and fine art. There's a good chance that your basement is filled with tools and appliances. Some specialized equipment won't sell at an estate sale, but you can sometimes get offers for these items from a store or dealer. If that approach is fruitless you can always donate them to a local art program or a non-profit organization.
The best way to draw attention to a sale is to publish visually stimulating advertisements with many photos. For professional looking pictures you may need a professional photographer, which you can consider as an investment expense. If you decide to print your photos, make sure to place them in areas which lead the potential buyers directly to your home.
While holding a one-day sale might be easy to do, a majority of estate sales are held over a period of two to three days. It is wise to select specific dates that do not clash with major events or holidays in order to capitalize on the traffic you get. Make sure to check on the weather conditions as well since you may have a lesser turnout on a rainy day!
Make use of your creativity to stage items in categories and display them properly before the audience. Keep the high end items up front, so the buyers can see them right away and so you can keep a watchful eye on them while the sale is going on.
Although it may be tiring, be sure to greet every buyer with a warm hello and smile. Expect lots of questions and don't be offended if people offer you a price lower than ticketed. If your buyers have a good experience shopping, they might refer your sale to others or come back for a second day!
Any item you wish to put on sale should have a proper label and pricing. This is done to avoid any unnecessary questions during the sale. If you are not sure about certain aged items, contact a professional appraiser or use online resources. The real worth of an item is defined by how much the buyer is willing to pay. Expert liquidators have significant experience in this field due to industry knowledge and prior sales. This is why people hire professional downsizing services to fulfill your requirements. The objective should be to sell each and every item in a few days, and you should follow your established rules to keep the process simple.
If you are thinking about hosting your own estate sale or want more advice, read all about estate buying and downsizing tips.

Home Perspectives The Zionist Question
The Zionist Question
M. Shahid Alam
In recent times, no nationalist project has been so completely mythologized by its partisans as Zionism. In the construction of nearly all aspects of its history, the official Zionist narrative is often at variance –" even complete variance –" with the facts as they are known to the rest of the world: and, more recently, even as they have been documented by some Zionist historians.
Yet few Zionists would deny one central fact of their history: and that is the history of violence that has attended the insertion of Jewish colons into the Middle East. The history of the Zionist movement in Palestine –" it can scarcely be disputed –" has been attended by violence between the Jewish settlers and the Palestinians; it has led to unending conflicts between Arab societies and Israel; and these conflicts continue to draw Western powers, especially the United States since 1945, into ever widening clashes with the Islamic world.
The history of this violence was contained in the Zionist idea itself. Violence is integral to Zionism: not incidental to it.
This violent history of Zionism had been foreseen by the early Zionists in their private musings; and certainly, the risks inherent in Zionism could scarcely remain hidden once its victims began to resist the colonization of their lands. However, the Zionists chose to shelve these concerns, convinced that the 'natives' lacked the will, organization and resources to derail their plans.
Thus it is that the Zionists, who engaged in voluminous and intense discussions about the nature of their movement, never developed a coherent "Arab doctrine" that would examine and appraise the unfolding Arab response to Zionism.
In part, they may have felt that this was unnecessary. After all, many of the early Zionists –" according to Ahad Ha'am writing in 1891 –" believed that "the Arabs are all savages who live like animals and do not understand what is happening around them." Why worry about these "savages," when they were sure to be swept away by the inexorable advance of civilization the Jewish settlers were introducing into the region?
Other Zionists who took note of the incipient Arab resistance nevertheless chose to dismiss their concerns with wishful thinking. Once the Palestinians would begin to reap the benefits of Jewish colonization –" in rising land prices and new employment opportunities –" they would welcome the settlers with open arms.
In the Zionist world-view, the Palestinians were not a people; they had no national identity, no national aspirations.
In any case, it would have been impolitic for the early Zionists to air their concerns in public. In the face of open discussions about the violent consequences of Jewish colonization, and the resistance this was certain to evoke among Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims, the meager support that Zionism enjoyed among Jews would quickly have dried up. At this stage, Zionism could not have survived sober consideration of its long-term, violent consequences.
Despite the absence of a public debate, these concerns could not have been limited to the Zionist leadership. How else can we explain –" despite the putative Jewish yearning for Zion –" that only a trickle of Jews had heeded the call to colonize Palestine in the years before the rise of Nazi Germany? Weren't they afraid that they might be walking into a trap?
The Zionists also made an effort to overcome Palestinian resistance by invoking pan-Arab nationalism. In return for help from Jews, who would advocate their cause in the councils of great powers, the Arab nationalists could be persuaded to sacrifice Palestine for a higher objective, the creation of an Arab kingdom stretching from Morocco to Iraq.
The historic centers of Arab civilization –" so the Zionists argued –" lay in Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, not in Jerusalem. Why would the Arabs grudge the loss of Jerusalem if this would help them to realize their dream of restoring the ancient Arab empire?
The Zionists met with some initial success in these efforts. In 1919, at the Conference of Versailles Chaim Weizmann persuaded Emir Faisal, a leader of what is known as the Arab revolt against the Ottomans, to cede Palestine to the Zionists. When he confronted Arab anger at this surrender of Islamic lands, the Emir inserted a clause making his contract with the Zionists conditional on the creation of the Arab kingdom that he and his family sought. This conditional agreement too was short-lived. Under Arab nationalist pressure, the Emir was forced to repudiate his deal with the Zionists.
The Zionists could not long maintain their fiction about somehow creating a Jewish state in Palestine without violence; the challenge came from the right wing of the Zionist movement. In an essay that laid the foundations of Revisionist Zionism in 1923, Ze'ev Jabotinsky punctured the fiction that the Palestinians would voluntarily surrender their historical rights to their country. He wrote that the Arabs would "resist alien settlers as long as … they possess a gleam of hope that they can prevent 'Palestine' from becoming the Land of Israel."
Jabotinsky argued that a change in the stated Zionist strategy was imperative: in order to succeed, the Zionists would have to extinguish the Arab's "gleam of hope." If the Arabs were not going to sell their lands and move out, they would have to be defeated and driven out. Settlement would proceed, in the words of Jabotinsky, "under the protection of force that is not dependant on the local population, behind an iron wall which they will be powerless to break down."
Jabotinsky had forced into the open what was always implicit in the Zionist idea –" and, indeed, in the thinking of the Zionist leadership. Despite appearances, they had always known what Jabotinsky now challenged them to acknowledge openly.
The use of violence was not the Zionist fallback plan: privately, the Zionists knew that this was the only plan that had a chance of succeeding. Covertly and openly, with or without British support, they had always prepared for a showdown against the Arabs; and they had prepared well.
When the showdown came in 1948, the Zionists achieved their goals almost in their entirety: they defeated five Arab armies to create a Jewish state in 78 percent of Palestine nearly cleansed of its Arab population. Eight years later, in alliance with Britain and France, in a lightning strike, Israel occupied all of Egyptian Sinai.
And less than twenty years after its creation, in the June war of 1967, Israel went on to deal a crushing defeat on three Arab armies, occupied the rest of Palestine, the Sinai, and the Golan Heights –" and, in the process, quadrupled its territories. Most importantly, however, they had dealt a stinging blow to the power of Arab nationalism, a humiliation from which it would not recover.
Yet, despite these dramatic successes, Israel has failed to attain normalcy –" or, more likely, its interests are not served by normalcy. Many Israelis now openly acknowledge that something has gone awry.
Despite two massive rounds of ethnic cleansings in 1948 and 1967; despite repeated military victories over Arabs; despite a ten-fold increase in its Jewish population; despite unlimited US support; despite its deepening strangulation of Palestinians; despite the largest economic and military transfer from one country to another in history; despite one of the most powerful armies in the world; despite the sustained support of a Jewish Diaspora, more powerful and better organized than ever before; and despite the readiness of all Arab states to recognize Israel, the Zionist project has not come to rest.
Israel has yet to break away from its dependence on Western powers; it has not succeeded in extinguishing the Palestinian's "gleam of hope;" and Israelis are far from being assured of a secure future.
Why have Israel's triumphs –" and no one would question the magnitude of these achievements –" failed even to secure confidence in its survival?
Nearly six decades after its creation –" six decades of impressive military, territorial, demographic and economic gains –" Israel is still working to destroy its neighborhood, out of insecurity and to remove the last pockets of resistance to its hegemony.
After defeating nearly all its Arab adversaries, after successfully urging the United States to occupy Iraq, after devastating Lebanon in a new war in the summer of 2006, Israel is once again urging the United States to unleash its war machine against Iran, and to use nuclear strikes if necessary to destroy its nuclear sites.
Despite the "iron wall" that Israel erected against Palestinians in 1948, despite the wall of apartheid it has built in the past few years, the Palestinians have not disappeared. Indeed, the Israelis continue their policy of ethnic cleansing against Palestinians in slow motion, all the while preparing to launch a final round of ethnic cleansing to finish the job they had begun in 1948.
Israel is now seen as one of the leading threats to world peace. What is worse, Israelis are increasingly seen in nearly every country barring the United States as oppressors, as racists, the inheritors of South Africa's apartheid.
Is it the case –" as Hugo Bergmann, a young Jewish philosopher from Prague had feared in 1919 — that Palestine had became a Jewish state but only by betraying Jewish ideals?
In short, the creation of Israel has not solved the 'Jewish question;' it has changed its locale, its form and name. The Europeans had long wrestled with what they called the 'Jewish question.' Israel has transformed the 'Jewish question' into the 'Zionist question': and made it global.
Anxiously, the world now waits for the Zionist creation –" Israel –" to make its next significant move.
Anxiously, the world hopes that this next significant move will be historic and not destructive: that it will secure the rights of Palestinians, all Palestinians; that it will redress the wrongs done to Palestinians, all Palestinians, in the same way that Jews still demand redress for the wrongs done to them by the Nazis.
Yet, there is little reason for optimism. Israel cannot render justice to the Palestinians without abolishing its exclusively Jewish character, without dismantling the apartheid that grinds the Palestinians.
No colonialism yet has restrained itself because the colonial masters had acquired a conscience. It was force that stopped them: countervailing force, with or without violence.
The challenge before the Western world, before the Americans especially, is to develop the countervailing force that can compel a solution without violence.
If the West –" if the Americans –" fail here, if they fail to nurture this countervailing force: they only leave the room wide open to violent solutions.
