While its too late on my conversion to get a "before conversion" noise measurement, I decided to take the "after" measurements, and this page reports the results and shows the test procedure and passes on some lessons learned with using the noise meters.
If you can do measurements on your van, that would be great — you can post the results on the ProMaster Forum or send them in to me (gary@BuildItSolar.com).
1- buy a cheap noise meter. I've got this one for $25 it appears to work quite well and gets lots of good reviews.
2- Make a 4 ft high support for the noise meter that you can place on the floor of the van. This could just be a 4 ft long 2 by 4 screwed to a square of plywood to serve as the base — or anything that will support the noise meter 4 ft off the floor.
3- Pick a section of road that you want to use to do the noise measuring. Maybe a mile of "average" paved road that you can easily drive the van over with noise meter before and after the conversion.
1 – Before the conversion — mount the noise meter between the driver and passenger seats on the 4 ft high pedestal with the meter 2 ft back from dashboard. With an assistant to read the meter (or a video cam to record it) do the run on your standard road at 60 mph once in each direction. Note the weather, time of day, … anything that might influence the measurements.
2 – Move the noise meter and pedestal to a position half way back in the cargo part of the van — e.g. half way between the back of the driver/pax seat and the rear door. Repeat the same two 60 mph runs on your standard road section.
After doing the tests, I think this could be simplified a bit — see section at end.
There are articles out there in which the accuracy of the smart phone noise meters has been tested against lab quality meters in a controlled environment. This is one of them: "So How Accurate Are These Smartphone Sound Measurement Apps?", Kardous and Shaw. They looked at 130 Iphone apps and found only 3 apps were within +- 2 db of the actual values. They looked at 60 or so Android phones and these were worse than the Iphones — apparently the Iphone hardware is better suited to noise measurements than the typical Android hardware. Looking at their plot of their results, there is something like 20 db difference between the highest and lowest reading apps (and this is among the 10 apps they felt would do the best and actually tested)!
It seems that with this variation between phones, that absolute noise measurements made with phones meters in our vans don't mean much — the variation from phone to phone is larger than the noise level differences due to different treatment levels that we are looking for. But, if the levels are measured before and after conversion with the same phone and over the same road etc., then the differences may still be meaningful, and may indicate how well each treatment is doing.
The pedestal in the forward (near driver ear) position. The picture makes it look like the there is an open screen on the phone but, that is the GPS screen up on the dash. Note the weight on base to keep the stand from tipping forward and make it more stable.
ProMaster: radio off, windows closed, heating system fan off (this makes a difference — see below).
Springhill Rd in the section used for testing. Maybe that's an eagle on the power pole?
So, the Smartphone phone meter reads about 2 db higher than the actual meter — pretty good.
Reading on actual meter was the same — 71 db so, no difference between the North and South runs — might have been different if there had been wind.
It looks like the the average noise level for the 60 mph part is 72 db — down about 1 db from the forward microphone position, but not much difference.
It looks like the the average noise level for the 60 mph part is 72 db — same as the North to South run.
While I find the noise level in our PM OK (you can talk and listen to the radio), its always nice to be quieter. There are a number of areas on my PM conversion that are not treated in any way — e.g. the sliding door is just bare metal. There are also lots of hard surfaces up in the cab area that could be softened. I will probably have a go at addressing some of these and seeing if we can drop the noise level a bit.
Gravel road to our house at 25 to 30 mph — 68 to 74 db — more variable than paved roads.
On the standard test section of road at 60 mph — noise level 68 db — so, 3 db quieter than our PM conversion.
The noise references say that 3 db is as small a change as the human ear can just barely detect, and this agrees with my perceptions — it seems to me the Pilot and the PM van are about equally noisy to ride in.
Just hand hold the noise meter/phone about midway between the driver and passengers ears. I took all the measurements for the Honda Pilot this way, and it seems to work fine — the noise levels do not change much if the meters moves and inch two either way.
September 8, 2015: With a few trips under our belt, we have come to feel that the noise level in the van is a bit higher than we would like, and we plan to add some additional noise treatment. Will start with some of the untreated areas (like the sliding door), and maybe see about more noise treatment under the headliner. If I were starting the conversion over again, I'd probably pay more attention to getting more noise treatment in.


Remember that the rash is not spreading unless you are still coming in contact with the oil. The appearance of spreading is due to how long the area was exposed to the oil and how sensitive that area is. An area that is less sensitive (tougher, thicker skin) will break out several days later than an area of thinner more sensitive skin.
With the stuff I'm recovering from now, the inside of my arm and my eye started breaking out the next day. My torso a few days later (and not nearly as bad) and just a bubble here and there on my hand a week later. If you are still getting new areas that are pretty bad more than a week after it first starting showing, it's likely you are being exposed to the oil again. Make sure everything you came in contact with has been washed including clothing, shoes, tools, door knobs you may have touched, even the faucet you turned on to wash your hands.


Who, for instance, was looking for information on The United Methodist Church (UMC) in Albania, Algeria, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, France, Hungary, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Switzerland, and Tunisia, could find this on http://www.umc-europe.org so far.
However, the UMC in Europe consists of more countries than the ones covered by the Central Conference of Central and Southern Europe. Therefore, this web address has always been misleading to a certain extent. When the works to redesign the old website started, it was clear that a new website would also need to have a new address: http://www.umc-cse.org. UMC continues to be the abbreviation of «United Methodist Church», CSE is the abbreviation of «Central and Southern Europe». This means that the new address is similar to the ones of the United Methodist websites of the Nordic and Baltic Area - http://www.umc-ne.org - and of Eurasia - http://www.umc-eurasia.ru.
At the same time, the e-mail addresses were changed, as well. As of now, you can reach the leaders of the Central Conference by using addresses following the pattern firstname.familyname@umc-cse.org. Or, in case of the bishop of this area, by simply using bishop@umc-cse.org.
The new website was created by Thomas Rodemeyer, former employee of the Office of Bishop Patrick Streiff. It includes brief descriptions of the individual countries, news stories on church events and developments, an agenda, a download section, and additional information.


The Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. is a new telephoto lens for the Micro Four Thirds system. With MTF bodies having a crop factor of 2x, it provides an effective focal range of 200-600mm in 35mm terms, yet only weighs just over 500g. Comprised of 17 elements in 12 groups including an ED lens, the LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. lens features Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) to help combat the inevitable hand-shake, near-silent high-speed focusing, seven blades to give the aperture a rounded shape, multi-coated lens elements to minimize ghosts and flare, and a reliable metal mount. The LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. lens is available for £549.00 / $599.95 in the UK and the US, respectively.
The LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. is surprisingly small and light for a superzoom lens covering a 35mm equivalent focal range of 200-600mm. Zoomed to the 100mm setting, the lens fits in the full length of your hand, while it measures 18cm when fully zoomed out.
Zooming is not internal – as you can see, the front extends considerably upon zooming to 300mm, at which point the lens cannot be considered tiny any more. Still, it's a pretty compact affair for a lens that spans such a vast focal range. It's also remarkably light at only 520 grams.
In terms of features, the lens offers a distance scale and image stabilisation which is turned on and off via a switch on the side of the barrel, an essential feature given the huge zoom range on offer. Note that the switch isn't very positive and it can easily be knocked to the wrong setting.
The LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. lens may have a lot of plastic parts, but the lens mount is, thankfully, made of metal. Panasonic does not claim any sort of weather resistance for this lens, and indeed you cannot see a rubber seal around the mount (note that no current Micro Four Thirds camera is weather sealed anyway).
Usefully the lens comes with a hood and a cloth storage bag, and it accepts 67mm filters.
At the 100mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 12°, equivalent to that of a 200mm lens in a 35mm system.
At the 300mm end, the angle of view is 4.1°, which is the same as that of a 600mm lens on a 35mm full-frame camera.
The LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. lens offers virtually silent focusing. In use, we have also found the system surprisingly quick on the DMC-GH2, though not quite as zippy as the GH2 and 14-140mm lens combo. With the focus mode on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH2 set to AFC, the lens tracked moving subjects well.
Chromatic aberrations, typically seen as purple or blue fringes along contrasty edges, are only noticeable by their almost complete absence, very impressive considering the focal lengths on offer. The crop below is from a photo taken at the 100mm setting.
With the lens set to its maximum aperture, you can see some light fall-off in the corners, but nothing too excessive. You will likely only notice this when photographing a subject with large homogeneous surfaces (see the macro shot below for an example).
The LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. has a closest focusing distance of 1.50m / 4.9ft at all focal lengths, so it's no macro lens, although it actually puts up a pretty good close-up performance to full telephoto, with a maximum 0.42x magnification rating.
Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. In the LUMIX G VARIO 100-300mm F4.0-5.6 MEGA O.I.S. lens, Panasonic employed a diaphragm with 7 rounded blades, which has resulted in a pretty nice bokeh for a zoom lens, at least in our opinion. However, recognising that bokeh evaluation is subjective, we have provided a few examples for your perusal.

La Didimeia era una fiesta que se celebraba en la Grecia antigua en honor de Apolo Didimeo, de la que se tiene noticias por inscripciones griegas y por inscripciones en su mayoría de la época imperial.

Algunas monedas de Valeriano y de Galieno, acuñadas en Mileto, llevan la inscripción didimeia dentro de una corona que hace alusión a los juegos gimnásticos y a los concursos que se celebraban durante estas fiestas.

Se supone que esta fiesta es una de las más antiguas de Grecia, puesto que el oráculo de Apolo Didimeo era, desde el siglo VI a. C., uno de los lugares más venerados de la Jonia.

The second Jon Gruden era in Oakland is off to a rocky start. The Raiders have taken early leads in both of their games to start the season, only to watch the opposition eventually pull out a win. In Week 1, it was the Rams that battered the Raiders during the second half, cruising to a win. In Week 2, it was the Broncos that rallied late to earn a 21-19 win over Oakland when, for the vast majority of the game, the Raiders appeared in total control.
A common thread in both losses is a general lack of pass rush, as the Raiders have only two sacks in two games, and per Football Outsiders' adjusted sack rate (which takes sacks per pass attempt, adjusted for down and distance) they're 29th in the league at 3.2 percent (league average is five sacks and a 6.7 percent adjusted sack rate).
Not having a good pass rush is generally a bad situation for any NFL team, given the nature of the league today. However, the optics for Oakland's poor pass rush look even worse considering they traded one of the league's premier pass rushers in Khalil Mack mere days before the season because they didn't want to pay him. Mack has been terrorizing opposing quarterbacks for the Bears through two games, and for Raiders fans and the rest of the NFL viewing public, it's impossible not to separate the two.
Gruden himself is really not helping his case when it comes to the perception of the Mack trade. It's possible, depending on how the draft picks shake out, that in a few years this trade looks less like a disaster and a bit more like a fair trade. However, right now it looks bad and Gruden's continued insistence on seeming befuddled by the Raiders' poor pass rush and how to improve it only digs his hole deeper.

The existence of anti-Semitism across Europe, Canada, the United States and the rest of the developed world, particularly on college campuses, is growing and will soon be beyond control and spread throughout society. The first waves will soon break out as today's college students being steeped in anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic programs and virtual pogroms graduate and bring their toxic views into the political world and then the workplace and society as a whole. These indoctrinations are presented as presumed pro-Palestinian protests such as Israel Apartheid Week, mock checkpoints, demonstrations blocking campus access portraying the Israeli security barrier as the modern version of the Berlin Wall or the Warsaw Ghetto Walls as well as faux eviction notices placed on Jewish and pro-Israel students' dorm rooms claiming their rooms are to be demolished as protest of terror home demolitions and simple, straight out physical intimidation of Jewish and pro-Israel students. For further observations and documentations one can start with these two articles; Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain and Hotbeds of Anti-Semitism in British Academia or use the results from a simple search engine results for anti-Semitism on college campus we performed as a free service to make life easier.
This article is not out to bang the drum which already has been accomplished to the point that a complete percussion section has been added to the anti-Semitism orchestrated noises around the world just covering college campuses and in some cases it spreading to public high schools. This is following a normal progression for many politicized items as has been tracked with other subjects such as global climate change, equal opportunity, affirmative actions, LGBTQ rights and other highly charged political subjects from our modern societies. We will be taking a different tact driving to perceive what is probably the one major change which if taken would help rid the entire developed world from this pernicious evil. We will leave the proof to the links above and what will probably be more than sufficient numbers of articles which are sure to continue to surface. That could change and do so with a rapidity that would astonish the world and could be right around the corner if only some specific events and particular actions taken by some crucially critical people would materialize, but such things are unfortunately not looking ready to occur. So, let's dive in and see what needs to be shaking.
Anti-Israel Protests
One of the first items which everybody a week ago thought was fair accompli and about to happen as soon as all the arrangements were done and ground was broken was the repeated statement once more by a candidate for President of the United States that the American Embassy in Israel would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Candidate Donald Trump promised, and we quote, "We will move the American Embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem," speaking to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in March. Further he stated this important add-on stating, "The Palestinians must come to the table knowing that the bond between the United States and Israel is absolutely, totally unbreakable." Well, here we are in week one and already the moving of the American Embassy to Jerusalem has gone from we will to a process where ramifications and complications must be weighed and a cost/benefit analysis performed and all the other irrelevant items being spit out all in an effort to say we are going to do the same old same old. We have already heard of Jordan, the Palestinian Authority and other Arab allies having warned the White House of severe repercussions should it proceed with the move. The threats included a threatened review of bilateral relations with both the US and Israel plus warnings of an upsurge in violence should the embassy be relocated. Please do not tell us that the Trump campaign were not aware of these ramifications when they followed the well-worn path of lying to AIPAC knowing full well that they would turn everything over to the State department and Pentagon and either or both would come back with a report warning against such rash actions as they would inflame the world and the ramifications far outweighed any benefit if there could even be an argument that there exists a benefit. Further, they would question the expense and warn that such simply was politically risky should any of the threats of violence be traced to having moved the Embassy, which the State department would warn they would most likely find as the cause of any terrorism targeting American facilities overseas.
So, Trump is not going to be as pro-Israel as advertised, and why should he? Expecting President Trump to be more pro-Israel than Israel is ridiculous, as it should be. We learned this centuries ago and it was most succinctly stated by Rabbi Hillel who wisely asked, "If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?" When, as we mentioned yesterday, the Israeli Security Cabinet voted unanimously to delay discussion on any law annexing Maaleh Adumim, can we expect for President Trump to stick his neck out and move the American Embassy to Israel to Jerusalem when the Israelis main decision makers unanimously refused to even consider annexing just a suburb of East Jerusalem? Of course that would be ridiculous. For proof just read Hillel above and it plainly states that step one will always be us being for what we hold dear before we can expect others to act similarly in our interests. Perhaps it would be a good idea to inundate the members of the Knesset's e-mails with copies of Hillel's quote followed by a simply Yiddish question, "Nu?" implying to ask what have you done recently which changes anything. Israel acting weak and timid reflects on everything worldwide simply because Israel is the exemplary representation of Jewish pride and strength and of late Israel has shown neither for quite some time.
When Israel acts decisively and boldly projects strength and confidence taking whatever steps necessary to protect their people and the future of the Jewish State, it becomes reflected in the actions by Jews in the world and affects the way Jews are treated. When Israel demands respect as she did during the first half of her brief history, the world respected the Jews and allowed for Jews to be proud and live holding their heads high. As Israel has mired herself and given concession after concession with nothing to show for any of it as the land for peace more represented land for terrorism and Israel appeared weak and Jews started to wear long faces and are soon, if not already, hang their heads and shuffle along giving once again the image of the Jew ready to be kicked and ill-regarded. The ghetto Jews, as it had been called throughout much of modern history, was again the view. The Jews were those people who are to be blamed for all the ills in the world, all the wars, all the hatreds, all the destitution, all of any and every evil imaginable and the Jew could be kicked and spat upon and they would shuffle off accepting any scorn. This persona has become accepted on all too many college and university campuses in the developed world. As Israel is demeaned and seen as threatened and not really taking actions to protect themselves, this places the Jews across the world in jeopardy of attack and other forms of anti-Semitism. These acts have already made numerous cities across Europe actually dangerous to Jews to even so threatening that, as in Malmo, most of the Jews are packing up and departing. The numbers of Jews making Aliyah from France this past year was the highest since the end of World War II and many times the average for any year in the past half century. Further, the Arab world is using their oil wealth to finance those NGOs who coordinate numerous campus groups in anti-Israel and anti-Zionist programs with very obvious and well-coordinated demonstrations and events demeaning Israel and Zionism and by an extension anti-Semitism as many times these actions also lead to direct targeting of the Jews on the campus sometimes placing their lives and health in danger.
As noted in the articles linked above, there are campuses in Britain where Jews do not even apply as the atmosphere is that toxic. This is a direct result of Israeli passive resistance to terrorism and apparent trepidation to acting boldly to suppress those acting against her. This has to end but for that to come to pass Israel will need to elect a far more active and bold leadership. This can be done but first an election is necessary and the Israeli Zionists and related activists will need find and promote someone to lead one of the existing parties and then support that party with sufficient votes that they either are the party making the coalition or be the main partner in a coalition with sufficient influence to force definitive action. The United States election set in place an opportunity of a lifetime. The election of Donald Trump as President and the fact that for the first time in memory the House of Representatives, the Senate, the White House and soon even the United States Supreme Court will be Republican or conservative making support for Israel, especially as a fair percentage of Democrats in Congress also support Israel, a given, freeing Israel to act without any ramifications from Washington. This is a situation which has not been seen since the founding of the modern state of Israel and may never return again should it disappear in the next election, a certain possibility as the opponents to President Trump will throw everything they have to at least take back the House of Representatives if not also the Senate. There are no guarantees in American politics but the stars and planets have aligned along with the Congress and White House to favor a bold and take-action Israel, now all that is necessary is leadership willing to take action which will define the state of Israel and the state of Israeli politics for the foreseeable future.
The unfortunate unanimous vote by the Prime Minister's Security Cabinet to delay considerations on annexing Maaleh Adumim must be laid in the lap of Prime Minister Netanyahu as well as any leaders of the presumed Zionist and Religious Zionist parties who are represented in the Security Cabinet such as Naftali Bennet. There can be no excuse other than fear of retributions from European nations who are acting with ill will already towards Israel and also allowing similar disregards for their Jewish citizens throughout their college and university communities and even in many cities and towns. The BDS movement is making strides thanks to the recent United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 2334 which was facilitated by President Obama who had been rumored was personally involved along with his Secretary of State John Kerry as a means of tying incoming President Trump's hands in dealing with Israel and in the Middle East. The best way to counter the disastrous implications of that UNSC Resolution is strong and defined actions performed as an in your face Israeli response. The UNSC will not be following up and passing any similar or other damaging resolution against Israel as President Trump will reinstate the American veto of such damaging resolution in the UNSC. The message must be delivered to the Knesset that the irons are hot and it is time to put the hammer to anvil and beat out a favorable fait accompli. The time to annex not only Maaleh Adumim, but Bet El, Ariel, Betar Illit, Modi'in Illit, Har Gilo, Gush Etzion at the least and all of Judea and Samaria returning the PLO, Fatah, and all other terrorist affiliated persons to Tunis or wherever in Europe they would be welcome and give the Arab Palestinians their first hopes for a bright and unencumbered future free of the kleptocracy which has stolen all hope from them for the past near quarter of a century. Will the world, particularly Europe, explode in indignation? Probably, but ride out their initial explosion and with time they will tire of complaining and when things here in Israel settle and the Arabs are slowly but surely incorporated into Israeli society and their lives improve immeasurably, there will be less and less reason to protest eventually leaving no reasons to protest. The future with a secure Israel, and this should be the sole consideration of the Knesset, is with Israel with all the lands promised us between the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea and not sharing it with any terrorist nest guaranteed to feed the world's need to hate Israel, and by equal measure hate Jews. Israel could do more to guarantee her future and destroy anti-Semitism by simply annexing all of Judea and Samaria, removing those who would continue being a menace and reward those Arabs who desire living in peace with equality and security for all. By acting to assure Israel's future and boldly protecting Israel, Israel would herself be combatting anti-Semitism in the world with better efficiency than any other actions could dream of accomplishing. The first question is can Netanyahu act or is he so damaged by the strains of leadership that he is no longer capable of acting definitively and securing the Israeli future? The last question is are the Zionist Israelis organized enough to start and continue programs and demonstrations demanding that the Knesset and the Prime Minister with his Security Cabinet act definitively with a minimum of delay as time is precious, and if we might repeat Rabbi Hillel, "If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?"

Tomorrow, Sunday January 15, 2017, will be a date that will start the cause of infamy when seventy nations convene in Paris, France to craft the future war in the Middle East. The organizers of this confab have already met with Mahmoud Abbas and his terrorist supporters and carefully created the closest they dare go in granting the Arab Palestinian Authority their wildest desires, the end of Israel. They will give the Arab world the one item they have hoped for ever since they fought the June 5 – 10, 1967, Six Day War; a redo from the original borders. The seventy nations will include the United States which will be represented by President Short Term Barack Obama's puppet and lackey, Secretary of State Kerry who was instrumental in meeting with Abbas in Nablus to craft the finalization of the formation of a new Arab nation named Palestine cut from the legal borders of Israel as per more treaties than we care to list again, the League of Nations, the Mandate System and Article 80 of the UN Charter which binds the world to that very Mandate System which set the eastern Israeli border as the Jordan River. Also included among the nations and others joining the United States and France will be European Union Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini, a representative of the United Nations, many Foreign Ministers from European nations, a number of the Sunni Arab nations high representatives, advisors from numerous anti-Israeli NGO's for a reasoned flavor of authenticity and fairness and various other national representatives to round out the merry band of vigilante diplomacy. The truth be told, this is an internationally prearranged lynching where under the direction of France, the United States President and his State Department, the European Union, selected leftist pro-Palestinian Arab nations and the usual anti-Israel third world nations being brought together to give the feel of an authentic and reasoned conference which has the backing of the world and thus is really dispensing justice. Israel has denounced this conference knowing that the final decision has already been set in cement and left to dry.
Protesters in support of Palestinians in Gaza
last weekend displayed a swastika at a Paris rally.
The demonstration had been banned by the
government and prompted deployment of police.
There is little left to chance and the only item which will be decided at the conference is how long they will appear to debate and deliberate before all but unanimously approving the pre-prepared proposition for an "equitable" resolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, the misnamed Palestinian-Israeli conflict as the Palestinian Arabs are simply the bludgeon with which the Arab world had attempted for years to beat Israel into submission and return them to the pre-June 1967 borders, press Israel back within the 1949 Armistice Line also referred to as the Green Line. After the ill-fated October 6–25, 1973, Yom Kippur War where the Arab allies of Egypt and Syria believed they would be able to defeat Israel if they caught them completely unprepared for an attack. Their plan worked as they caught Israel literally deep in prayers and unaware and unable to recall their military as the soldiers were in Synagogue and all transportation and communications were all either closed or in holiday mode. Eventually the Israelis cobbled together their units and survived. What was learned that month was had Israel not still held the Sinai Peninsula and Judea and Samaria (West Bank) and should there have been additional forces attacking from Judea and Samaria backed by other Arab nations with Israel within the pre-June 1967 borders, the Arabs would have had a very good chance of being in Tel Aviv under similar conditions of surprise. The first and most vital need for an Arab victory and the erasure of Israel is to force Israel back behind the Green Line. The next requirement is for a heavily armed and ready force within Judea and Samaria. With such in place the Arab assault to eradicate Israel would be assured. Such an assault would be initiated with rockets fired from the Judean Hills overlooking central Israel. These rockets would initially be a few the first week and a slow ramping with accuracy guaranteed by having direct visual ranging from the Judean cliffs and the world cautioning Israel to remember the peace agreement and not to react harshly. Israel would be condemned as foolish for any concerns and would be told that the government of "Palestine" was not behind the attacks and was doing everything possible to apprehend those responsible and were very concerned that Israel might react foolishly and hold them responsible for these horrific attacks. The United Nations would call emergency meetings which would issue warning after warning to Israel not to take matters into its own hands as doing so would break the Israeli obligation from the Paris accords which were confirmed and formed the core of the UNSC Chapter Seven Resolution establishing the independent state of Palestine. The shrillness of the warnings coming from the UN, the EU and even from the United States should somebody of a similar viewpoint as President Obama be elected, an eventuality which will come to pass, and various NGO's, Human Rights Organizations and possibly through decisions from the World Courts all condemning Israel even before she has taken any defensive actions. The one item that must be recalled is that Israel is not permitted to defend herself, Israel if defending herself may not prove victorious, at the first signs of an Israeli victory the fighting must be terminated and the original borders reestablished no matter how long it takes (as is becoming all too evident currently) and finally when Israel is proving victorious then it becomes the vital mission of much of the world to threaten Israel with annihilation if they do not cease winning and return to their borders immediately.
So let us get back to Paris and the conference of the damning. The prearranged findings will call for the establishment of the Arab state of Palestine with the borders that the world realizes is the only proper and inevitable borders, the Green Line and the Jordan River. The call will be for an unarmed Palestine with only a security force having weapons necessary for dealing with crime and for preventing any encroachment or invasions by Israel. As time passes the amount of weaponry required for the security of Palestine will include armor, artillery, rockets and an air force. They would also call for their having a navy with aircraft carriers except the Dead Sea and Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) are just too small to require any naval forces, but a small coast guard might be authorized to patrol the Jordan River as well as these other waterways. Simply stated, within a decade, two at the most, the Arab state of Palestine will be better armed than Jordan, something which will rightfully make the King of Jordan very nervous as he recalls the Black September revolt where the PLO attempted to overthrow the Jordanian government. Meanwhile, Israel will be in mortal danger and likely once again without a friend in the world. Much like the position Israel finds herself in until January 20, 2017 at noon Eastern Standard Time when President Obama gives way to President Trump.
The one saving hope from a world gone mad is that the Paris ambushing of Israel takes longer than five days and the protection of a United States veto returns to the Security Council. Should the protagonists in France complete their dirty work before the morning of January 20, 2017, then there is a possibility of the UNSC officially recognizing Arab Palestine with the Green Line as its western border and forcing close to a million Israelis to become refugees instantly and needing to be rescued by the IDF and escorted to safety. The one item that would be considered fighting words is if the Paris ensemble tries to take any part of Jerusalem from Israeli control. Israel has officially annexed all of Jerusalem and granted its Arab citizens Israeli identification papers, medical coverage and permitted them voting rights in local elections with the possibility for full voting rights once they complete certain requirements to qualify as full citizens. Israelis have accepted that Jerusalem is an integral part of Israel and our reclaiming of our eternal Capital City and that is the one thing which will never change. This is something which must be made clear as well as making the Israeli position on the main cities and residential blocks which must remain part of Israel as even under the Oslo Accords Area C was to remain with Israel.
Despite it becoming clear that the entirety of the Oslo Accords was a ruse, a grand deception designed to allow for the slow and eventual erosion of the right of Israel to even exist within any borders. That eventuality has yet to materialize but not for lack of efforts. The BDS, boycott, divestment and sanction, movement developing from the Arab boycott of Israel and their Khartoum Resolution with the three No's; no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel, and spreading throughout the world and gaining traction numerous college campuses in the Western World, the isolation of Israel was looking to make inroads. Within the past year the BDS has seen setbacks as governments in numerous cities and states in the United States and elsewhere, it required a boost which came almost as if scripted by some unseen director with the recent UNSC Chapter Six Advisory Resolution 2334 which declared that Israel had no legal claims to Area C thus voiding UNSC Res. 242 and the Oslo Accords setting an entirely new perception to the eventual resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. President Obama through the backdoor arrangement of UNSC Res. 2334 wording and particular specification delineating the abrogation of all Israeli rights presumably on the international stage, the world has set up a situation where another war is all but guaranteed in the Middle East unsettling any semblance of balance and leeway for actual negotiations to take place. The next step, should this procedural intention play out fully, would be to demand that Israel surrender every inch of lands they gained during their defensive efforts in the Six Day War. The world is treading on thin ice and teetering on the edge of falling through and unless in Paris a miracle occurs and the world decides to step away from the insanity and frantic attempts by President Obama to force a resolution which will only set up a situation with no good solution just to pretend he deserved that Nobel Peace Prize. It is borderline insanity to potentially force a predicament which could result in a dangerous faceoff between the United Nations Security Council, Israel and the viability and enforcement of President Obama taking a final shot in his vendetta against the Jewish State which it appears his aim had been its destruction from day one. That is the only way his frantic end of term insanity forcing solutions where none exist as well as his guaranteeing that Iran will become a nuclear armed nations with as many if not more nuclear weapons than all but the big three, United States, Russia and China, and possibly Iran will make that the big four and the world will live on borrowed time thereafter. Oh what has the world wrought and how can that tension be released peaceably? Perhaps it cannot and the result will become the real legacy for President Obama. Too bad so few might survive that legacy should it really turn for the worst. But then again, transforming the United States, specifically its relationship with the Jewish State, with Israel, has been the aim all along and was likely the most prominent piece of America Barack Hussein Obama had intended to mortally wound from the very start. He sure went after this first, last and consistently the hardest.

The Arabs refuse to recognize anything anywhere in the world where their feet have tread should ever be ruled by any others and must remain an Arab Waqf for all eternity. This is why in many Arab countries a map of the world does not contain the nation of Spain and instead shows a nation named Andalusia. This name was what the Moors who conquered Spain used to name that area and that was the name until 1492 when Ferdinand and Isabella who reconquered Spain for the Church and initiated the infamous Inquisition. This warring between Christianity and Islam had continued for centuries with the most famous were the Crusades to return the Holy Lands for Christianity with their emphasis on Jerusalem and secondary targets of Nazareth and Bethlehem. The Muslim conquests had reached from Spain into France being turned at the battle of Tours. The invasions in Eastern Europe reached Vienna twice where the Muslims were turned back and the Ottomans returned eventually retreating back into what is today Turkey. World War I brought an end to the Ottoman Empire and in a number of first ever treaties the lands were turned over to rule other than that of the conquerors with most returned to what were believed to be the indigenous peoples. The most striking was the reestablishment of the Jewish State in its ancient homelands. These new nations were to be guided by Mandates assigned to the European allied victors of World War I.
Also redrawn were the borders of Eastern Europe with Germany and the Austria-Hungarian Empire being broken into new nations and borders adjusted with the allies and their defeated ally Poland gaining area at the cost of Germany and the Austria-Hungarian Empire. The Arab claims that the Europeans after World War I crippled and altered the Arab world while leaving Europe unchanged is not a valid claim and the reason the Arab world appeared to be more altered was the area of the Ottoman Empire compared to the Austria-Hungarian and German lands combined. The alterations in both lands were relatively equal in their depth and altering of influences. In Europe they set the ground for the remilitarization of Germany and World War II. The problems in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) was caused largely because each of the nations drawn on the map placed several tribes within the same borders and even cut some groups such that their peoples were spread amongst several nations. Probably the biggest losers from these borders were the Kurdish People who, despite being promised their own lands of Kurdistan, they were cheated and their tribes spread between Iran, Turkey, Iraq and the former (and potentially future) Syria. This has caused great amounts of friction especially with Turkey and Iraq where the Kurds were often targeted by their own governments. The Kurds in Syria have been facing an extermination assault by Turkey on top of fighting the Islamic State as well as other independent units and the Syrian government and allies. When reading about the Kurds it often appears that like Israel these people are also fighting the entire world with the main difference is at least the United Nations ignored the Kurds.
According to the Arab history of the world there was nothing before Islam. There were no great empires of Persia, Greece, Rome, Babylon and so forth. All these lands came into history upon their conquest by the Arabs and Islam. All the former and undeniable peoples from the bible were all Muslims. This may appear to be an anachronistic view of the world but the way this is established is that Allah founded the universe and gave Adam the perfect faith, Islam and when Abraham was to sacrifice his son, that son was Ishmael and there is little if any mention of Isaak. Abraham was a Muslim, Moses was a Muslim and the Torah he wrote was really the first writing of something resembling the Quran but the Jews altered the writings given them by Moses corrupting it and the Christians took that and corrupted it further all to such an extent that Allah had to provide the original all over again to Muhammad. Thus Islam is the only true religion and thus has been promised to be given the entirety of Earth to rule as the only ones who have truth. This is the reality under which the Arab Muslims perceive the world and insist this is the truth and their truth must be the only truth. Anybody who refuses to accept their truth is a heretic and under Islam such a blasphemer needs to be silenced by all and any means necessary. All of this comes to a head over Israel and the focus of Arab war with the developed world and the Western world and culture. Islam had made a number of offences with their first the most successful and is now at the leading edge of their third surge (see map below). This latest offensive is using numerous efforts including warfare, terrorism, infiltration (refugees) and using democracy against itself and the equality and protections of religion to spread political Islam. Until Western nations realize that Islam is a religious-political system where the political Islam supremacy is hidden within a religion where it retreats whenever challenged demanding their religion be respected and pressing those who propose to tell the truth are then attacked as Islamophobic and thus ridiculed as anti-religious or bigoted haters. Thusfar their methods have been working exactly as they planned and will continue until either the Western World succumbs or wakes up and treats Islam as a political supremacist totalitarian system threatening the developed world.
Islamic Expansion
Concerning Israel, the Arabs have directed their main efforts on the heart of Israel realizing that Israel is the tip of the defense of Western World civilization. To target Israel they are aiming for the heart of Israel which is Jerusalem and targeting the beating heart of Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and Old City all of which is all encompassed in Eastern Jerusalem and thus beyond the Green Line. But what is this Green Line and why is it so important? The Green Line is the line between the IDF and the Arab forces on the Jordanian front at noon of the final day of hostilities. This was an Armistice Line and the Arab League at that time insisted that the Green Line was only to be the demarcation of the end of fighting and never, ever, ever to be considered as a border nor was it to be even used to form or delineate in negotiations a border and Israel was never to have an eastern border. The reasoning was that as long as Israel was denied any of its borders it would not be a real nation and thus the Arab world could maintain that Israel was not a nation and did not exist and was really just part of southern Syria. The Arabs reject the Mandates as having been legal and claim that the Europeans were the longest and most vile colonialists in all of MENA. What they are ignoring is the fifteen-hundred-years of Arab colonialism which continues to this day. The Europeans began any colonialist possession of the areas of MENA during and after World War I in 1914 through 1917 and then took responsibility for nation building as these areas were under Arab and then Ottoman dictatorial rule since the latest around the year 700 up through 1914, 1200 years, and have returned to Arab control as these nations were released from European influences (see map below). Judging from the longest colonial possession by Europeans of MENA lands hangs around half a century with most far less. The biggest lie about European colonies in the MENA lands is that Israel is a European colony, the big lie.
Dates that the MENA nations received their independence after colonial rule many since the times of the Persians or even earlier
The truth is there is no evidence from the population statistics of Israel by which one can prove it to be a European colony. Approximately forty percent of the Israeli population comes from the MENA nations that forced the vast majority of their Jewish population from within their borders, some with the belief that they could drown Israel with these destitute refugees who were denied their wealth as their valuables and monies were confiscated before they were allowed to depart. Often they were limited to one or two suitcases per person and these suitcases were all inspected for anything of value or desirability. Over half of Israeli population is constituted from non-Europeans within other than MENA Jews there are the Menashe from India, the Ethiopian Jews and many others. Lastly, of the non-Mena populations the largest single population is from the former Soviet Union. The claims are that Israel is made up of Jews from the Concentration Camp survivors that the Nazis did not murder and that they are destined to complete the work of the Nazis.
Let us go to the reality for a moment as we have been reporting so much of the strange and untrue, well, a lot of untrue mixed with sufficient truth to make everything have just that taste of the possible. Much of the rest is accepted largely on the mistrust of Jews or outright anti-Semitism. Before the year 600 the Arabs resided almost exclusively along the coasts of the Arabic Peninsula. They were idolaters and Islam was not yet an idea emerging from Muhammad's experiences in that cave. Meanwhile, the Jews had survived their experiences in Egypt and were led by Moses into the desert where for forty years they prepared the population for becoming a nation and to conquer the Promised Land. Moses led them to the Jordan River and from there Joshua led the assault into the Promised Land. First Jericho then Ai and onto the remainder of the lands (see map below). The conquest took longer than a single lifetime and culminated with King David and King Solomon centered around the year 1000 BCE (see map below). By the time of King David and King Solomon all the Canaanite tribes were defeated and the Israelite enemies now were Greeks, Egyptian and Babylonians. The Israelites were driven from their lands twice, the first by the Babylonians and the second by Alexander the Great and his Greek armies. From that second conquest there came the Roman rule which executed what they considered to be the deathblow being delivered to the Israelites, who by this time were merely called Judeans which eventually became Jew. The punishment the Romans delivered was the scattering of the Judeans (Jews) throughout their Empire and even banishing many Jews to beyond their frontiers expecting they could never survive. This resulted, over time, with Jews living virtually throughout the world. Meanwhile, many Jews also sought home along Northern Africa to escape Roman brutalities resulting in a sizeable Jewish population being spread throughout North Africa when the Arab forces burst from the Arabian Peninsula and conquered this area. Some Jews even followed this migration into Spain where they met Jews who had been dispersed and reached Spain from the Roman frontiers.
Cities Conquered by Joshua as Recounted in Kings
In the Hebrew Bible the Old Testament
Eretz Yisroel as formed after the conquests by the Kingdoms of King David and King Solomon; both of whom allowed the Principalities of Edom, Moab and Ammon to be semi-autonomous as long as they and their armies supported Eretz Yisroel
The history of the Western Jews and the history of the Jews under Islam had many similarities where the forms of government and names of the rulers were different but the results identical. In Europe the Jews were chased from nation to nation and even from kingships to kingship and baron's lands to baron's lands and even from town to town. The plight of the Jew was well told in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice where the Jew is a moneylender whose client has refused payment. For the rest, read the play or go to the theater for the full story, dinner at 11:00 PM. Jews were permitted a select few professions and were forbidden to own land, what was considered the ultimate sign of wealth. This placed Jews as the initial provisionors and retailers. This would grant the Jews great advantage in a much later time while others were just first reaching the cities where the Jews were already established. The Islamic world was ruled locally in many ways similarly to the European world with the main difference being that the entirety was under the rule of one person who seldom ever visited much of their lands. This left the rule and tax collecting from which they often took a great cut for themselves. Often these local leaders would enact Islam only laws pressing the Christians and Jews to flee with little or nothing more than they could hastily gather and carry. Sometimes these restrictions and persecution were targeting Jews alone; it is so much fun to be the chosen people. The areas under each Sheikh, Emir and other titles whose moniker would change depending on the Caliph and the ruling Islamic branch would each make decisions which affected the non-Muslims, especially the Jews, residing within their territories. The similarities between the lives of Jews under Islam and Christianity were far greater than were the differences as far as the average Jew and their security, or lack thereof. The problem for the Jews is we were seldom permitted weapons when we most would need them and never had the numbers of population to provide ourselves with much hope of protecting ourselves beyond taking flight when trouble brewed. With Israel things are different as now we have equal footing though our numbers are limited, our determination is not and we will not be driven from our lands ever again, and that is our intent.

Gold direction is nowhere between $1,280 – $1,300 area. The precious metal mostly sideways and moving in narrow range each day. There are positions suggested under the current situation and traders could continuously monitor the extreme level of the range. We think the possibility of bullish breakout is higher than the bearish breakout. However, it is better to wait until the actual event takes place before placing any positions.
The price drifted lower and print lower low on the daily chart. It is not a confirmation of bearish continuation. However, it could be an indication correction is due in silver. If correction happens then silver might drop to test $15.00. Traders could look for long positions when the price hit the level and produce bullish patterns.
Not much change in crude oil today. The price stick near $52.40 and experience bearish reaction. It is not a strong bearish reaction and crude oil recovered to near its opening level. The weekly trading session soon will come to a close. If crude oil could climb above $52.40 then traders will see the price continue further toward $54.50 in the coming week.

College pays tributes on Remembrance Day
The whole school paid tribute for Remembrance Day, with all students and staff at the College marking the day with early morning assemblies at tutor time in the house areas and in the main College Hall.
There were very moving and powerful presentations in all the assemblies covering World War I and World War II to honour and remember the fallen, those who survived and the history of why we all wear the poppy. The assemblies all fell silent for two minutes after the bugler played the 'Last Post'.
At 10.45am, our Combined Cadet Force joined the Principal, Mr Ball, who invited representatives from our campus partners and the local community to attend the annual ceremony in the College Memorial Garden.
All the guests and students from each house lay a wreath at the foot of our Memorial Fountain to pay tribute to those who fought. Mr Hurrell, teacher of History led the service by giving a speech and students read out tributes to former students of the College who sadly lost their lives in conflict.
Mr Goldsworthy, teacher of Music, played the 'Last Post' and the gathering all fell silent for two minutes at 11.00am to remember everyone who has fought, both past and present, as a mark of respect.


In its October 12, 2016 decision in Tibbetts v. Pelham Union Free School District, the Appellate Division, Second Department, affirmed the granting of summary judgment dismissing the plaintiff's complaint for disability discrimination. The order granting summary judgment had been made below by the Supreme Court, Westchester County Justice Smith.
Plaintiff, who was employed by the School District as a probationary teacher, alleged that she was discriminated on the basis of disability by virtue of having been fired from her position two weeks after she returned to work after suffering from injuries in a slip-and-fall accident. Plaintiff asserted that the temporal proximity between the onset of her disability and her discharge gave rise to an inference that she was terminated because of her disability. The Appellate Division upheld Justice Smith's finding that no such inference of discrimination was justified because the School District demonstrated that it was unaware of Plaintiff's disability.
In so holding, the Second Department adopted the same temporary proximity standard that federal courts utilize in evaluating retaliation claims, to wit: that temporal proximity, alone, is not sufficient. There must be other facts, in addition to temporal proximity, which indicate a discriminatory motive on the part of the employer. For example, in his September 15, 2016 decision in Alemessaoudi v. Mark 2 Restaurant, Judge Paul G. Gardephe of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York rejected the employer's motion for summary judgment because Plaintiff was terminated for months after complaining about sexual harassment and the harasser, who was plaintiff's manager, threatened that he would "get [Plaintiff] fired." Judge Gardephe ruled that the temporal proximate, combined with the harasser's threat, constituted sufficient evidence upon which a jury could conclude that plaintiff's firing was retaliatory.

Guest Blog: Who or What is the "Financial Force" at Your Company?
Lynne Taylor, is an actively licensed California Certified Public Accountant and is an MBA with a Finance concentration from San Diego State University. Lynne is currently the Principal at Cloud Applications and Accounting Services for Enterprises (CASE) and Chief Administrative Officer of Relocation Services International (RSI Relo).
CFO Christine Driessen: The Financial Force Behind ESPN Alana's post combined three of my most favorite things: finance, sports and great stories about people who revolutionize an industry or their workplace. (My other favorite thing is wine but unfortunately it was missing in this article!) But the headline of the piece – and its subject obviously – got me thinking. Who or what exactly is the "Financial Force" at most companies? And what does that mean exactly?
I've spent the last four years evangelizing cloud accounting and appreciate FinancialForce.com because as a company, they really get what it means to stop the "siloed" accounting madness and strive to open those previously closed doors between sales and finance. But I believe many accounting departments – busy doing their daily accounting transactions and reconciliations – often do not get the chance to consider how their work impacts their company and adds value to it.
That is why stories like the Forbes piece about Christine Driessen are so important. Here is a woman who left public accounting and took a risk on what was essentially (at the time) an unproven 5 year old start-up – 28 years ago. Christine has worked on or been involved in nearly every strategic decision ESPN has made since that time. She has been a large contributor to the growth and success of the company. Reading this article, there is no doubt that finance is integrally linked to marketing, sales and operations at ESPN.
What I took away from Christine's story was that integration and communication are key elements of success for a company. No organization can be successful if all of its "parts" are not working together seamlessly and towards the same goals. And that is how I've always looked at FinancialForce.com – because seamless integration on the force.com platform is at the core and heart of what the company is about. It's like it was "baked" into its DNA.
But much as I love that concept, the reality is that accounting applications and their use are only one part of the story. At the end of the day it is the people who use those applications and the data within that are really the "Financial Force" behind a business or an organization. So we all have the potential to be a "Financial Force" like Christine, even if our companies are not a cool sports media business like ESPN!


When the Segovax cluster was first discovered in 4800, and in the first stages of terraforming on the outer fringes of Terran space, the planet of Delmont suffered as pioneers flooded from other planets to see what futures they could make for themselves there. The planet was used as a staging area to explore further into the cluster, but before any true structure or order could be implemented, people were colonising the juvenile planet and stripping it of its rich natural resources. Before long there was nothing left to be scraped from the planet's bare surface and the beginnings of a rambling city started to form as people searching for their new lives found that they could not afford to travel beyond Delmont into the rest of the newly discovered planets, causing population to soar from ill-managed immigration.
Now Delmont is infamous for its harsh acidic landscape, but more so for the sprawling stacks of city sectors piled on top of each other, creating a hazardous metropolis of hidden slums, chaotic trading points and urban mazes. The gigantic city of Delmont has spread upwards as well as outwards, with the very first settlers' homes lost away in the deep, dank undercaverns, polluted by radiation and uncharted on any map.
Anyone of any importance who visits the planet is unlikely to see beyond the first few layers – they are the most recently built, rich, and well-organised of the planet, modern and utopian. On the top of the artificial surface is a beautiful, versatile landscape, well-terraformed and actively farmed to produce food for the wealthy few Delmontes who live near the surface. Immediately below are the official trade points, homes of the rich, and offices of the highest city officials who pretend to care. The Council of Delmont is presided over by The Castor, though history has shown that this role is usually filled by the self-serving and indulgent who, keen to line their own pockets, ignore the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable.
Beneath this facade the population of Delmont is left to rot in the dark, in crumbling wards and sectors creaking under the weight of one another. The further down it goes, the poorer people get: ascending through the levels of the city is an insanely difficult task for anyone who starts off low down. People are kept out of sight, buried away, working long hours in disastrously dangerous factories and filthy living conditions. With little regulation or law enforcement, the ceilinged streets are rife with crime and gang warfare, and deep down there is word of slavery and worse. No-one truly knows how deep the sectors go, with some abandoned due to radiation, cave-ins, or similar. Many sectors remain uncharted, and there are tales of sectors being cut off from the rest of the city, left to fend for themselves.
Despite this, there is a strong sense of camaraderie among Delmontes: to find someone you can truly rely on and trust can make the difference between life or death, and finding your true "family", whatever the circumstances, can be vital for survival. Many regiments in the military from Delmont are known for forming a sense of belonging that goes beyond their work. They are also known to be very resourceful, knowing the most efficient ways to make do in tough times, leading to an affinity for Engineers and Medics in logistical positions – perfect for battlefield surgery and quick fixes. A Delmonte believes everything has a use whether intended or not!
Beyond the standard equipment they are issued, Delmontes are able to make the best of their surroundings. Running by the philosophy "if it ain't broke don't fix it", many of their possessions are worn down but still functional, or patched together – but if it serves its function, then it suits them just fine. Many members of the Delmont military are not suitably prepared for their time on the front lines, with sometimes incredibly basic training, but they are adept at solving their problems with unique solutions.
Many members of the Delmont military never saw the sky, sun, or stars before joining up and being shipped off-planet. For many the change is a huge shock: where is the ceiling? Who made the trees? What is rain for, and how is it leaking without any pipes? The idea of an environment where things exist without purpose is a strange one, and collides with their urban nature: for many of the Delmontes on lower levels, the sun is nothing more than a myth, an idealised concept to strive towards. Millions live and die without seeing the sun. When everything in your world has a purpose, even the concept of the self becomes a thing to trade, a commodity, and your own time and actions become as valuable as the result. Many treat joining the military as a serious action – becoming the cargo you are profiting from. There is a mantra that Delmontes know and often repeat: "Recruitment is investment. Deployment is transaction. Death is payment. Survival is advertisement."

Archbishop Atesyan's Letter to Erdogan Angers Armenians
Atesyan Criticizes German Parliament's Genocide Resolution
Agos to Atesyan: May God Bestow Sense, Intelligence, and Comprehension on You
ISTANBUL, Turkey (A.W.)—Archbishop Aram Atesyan, the General Vicar of the Armenian Patriarch in Turkey, sent a letter to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan slamming the German Parliament's June 2 adoption of an Armenian Genocide resolution, saying that the Bundestag's decision "about the events happened during the tragic times of World War I caused regret in our nation."

"[I]t is unacceptable that a parliament, which was formed by the votes of German citizens and has the duty of establishing laws for the peace, prosperity, and security of their nation, expressed its opinion, though it has no right to do so. It is unacceptable that this parliament legalized its decision on behalf of the entire German nation and considers itself a judge," Atesyan wrote in his letter, which made no reference to the Armenian Genocide as such.
In his letter, shared on the Armenian Patriarchate's Facebook page, Atesyan criticizes the use of the "tragedy that traumatized the Armenian nation" in international politics and claimed that such resolutions cause "sorrow and pain." "Unfortunately, this historical pain of the Armenian nation is considered as a tool for accusing and punishing Turkish state and nation. And because of this ugly mentality, sub- and supra-identities of Turkish Armenians are harmed. The ones who are willing to see the truth can realize how Armenian nation has been abused by imperialist powers," reads a part of the letter, which concludes with prayers to God to bestow "health, success, and happiness" on Erdogan.
In response to Atesyan's letter, the Turkish-Armenian Weekly Agos wrote a critical letter to the Archbishop, condemning his praise of Erdogan, despite the President's gross violation of human rights, anti-Armenian and racist policies, and denial of the Armenian Genocide.
"You define the systematic and almost complete annihilation of a people by the decision of the state itself as 'the events happened during the tragic times of World War I'; this is an affront to the ancestors, victims and the survivors in the eyes of the society to which you also belong," reads a part of the letter, which goes on to claim that the Archbishop lacks a "dignified attitude" and that he does not represent the entire Armenian community.
The letter specifically criticizes the Archbishop's claim that the Patriarchate "will continue to pray for the fellowship of Turkey and Armenia" as unjustifiable, considering Erdogan's continued threats against Armenian citizens
The letter also criticizes Atesyan's claim that "the role of German Reich is slid over by a few sentences" in the German Armenian Genocide resolution, stating that 80 percent of the resolution, which declares German Reich as an accomplice to the genocide, consists of Germany's confrontation with its own history.
Below is Agos's letter to Atesyan in its entirety.
Dear Mr. Archbishop,
We have read your letter about the Armenian Genocide resolution of Bundestag, which is addressed to the President and signed on behalf of "Turkish Armenians Society," with sorrow, anger and shame. Please regard this letter as the voice of those members of that society who disagree with the content and style of your letter.
You define the systematic and almost complete annihilation of a people by the decision of the state itself as "the events happened during the tragic times of World War I;" this is an affront to the ancestors, victims and the survivors in the eyes of the society to which you also belong.
The society that you defined as "Christian-Armenian Turkish citizens who perform their obligations to the state perfectly, got over the delusion of seeing themselves different from the other citizens and know how to protect their rights when necessary" doesn't have a homogeneous structure; rather, it consists of individuals who have their own independent feelings, opinions, and firm acknowledgment of truth. The thing is, Armenians are not the ones who see themselves different from other citizens. After 1915, whenever the political atmosphere gets intense, Armenians become subjected to discriminatory, fascist, and obviously threatening discourses and threats, especially in times of 1942 Wealth Tax and [the] Sept. 6-7 plunders. And on Jan. 19, 2007, they witnessed the assassination of Hrant Dink, one of the most precious figures who devoted himself to the peace between and in two peoples.
You said, "We, as the Patriarchate, will continue to pray for the fellowship of Turkey and Armenia"; how could you justify this statement of yours, given the fact that your addressee President Erdogan threatened the citizens of Armenia to send them back to Armenia two days ago? Doesn't it trouble your conscience? Let us remind you those statements of the president, in case you have forgotten: "Currently, there are almost 100.000 Armenians in my country. Almost half of them are Turkish citizens. However, the other half are citizens of Armenia and we can send them back to Armenia, like Europe did."
You said that you are aware of the fact that "some people are not happy with your stable attitude that you maintain by abiding the traditional way." Honestly, we are having difficulty in understanding how forelock-tugging can be considered as an attitude.
The Armenian Genocide, as a crime against humanity, is a concern of the whole humanity. You said that you pray for the good of two peoples. The common future of those peoples would be possible only when an honorable reconciliation is achieved, because then, there won't be this kind of oppression that caused you to deny even your own history.
Since you said that "the role of German Reich is slid over by a few sentences," we see that you have failed to comprehend the content of the resolution. Almost 80% of this resolution, which declares German Reich as the accomplice to the genocide, consists of Germany's confrontation with its own history.
Let us continue: you said, "using this tragedy that traumatized the Armenian nation in international politics causes sorrow and pain." Indeed, the oppression that led you to write this letter causes sorrow and pain. Also, the sub- and supra-identities of the Armenian society in Turkey is not harmed by this resolution, but by your words. Above all, your words on "abuse of Armenian nation by imperialist powers" are recorded as an example to the denialist discourse; not by the ones who will take advantage of your usage of the official state discourse, but by your own people. In the near future, we will see who will appreciate your discourse with "enthusiastic applause."
On this occasion, borrowing your style in your letter, we once again express our sorrow, uprising, and anger, and pray to God for you; may God bestow sense, intelligence, and comprehension on you.
We also pray to God for giving you a dignified attitude, which you obviously lack, since you said that "you pray to God for making the state dignitaries, who work for the good of people, succeed in their services" in a time when tens of people are being killed every day in a civil war.

The file contains papers related to the provision of facilities for the United States Air Transport Command at both Bahrain and Sharjah.

Q: Problems installing MySQL Server 5.7.2 on Mountain Lion Apparently when you install MySQL Server 5.7, a window is supposed to appear showing a temporary password for the root account. This window never appeared, and it won't let me log into mysql as root without a password. I am having trouble going through the steps to reset the root password.
I tried to reset the root password by starting mysql like this:
sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking
but then it still won't let me log in as root without a password. Also, System Preferences will immediately crash if I select MySQL from the preference pane. Any ideas?

A: MySQL 5.7 is not supported on Mountain Lion. You will need 5.6 or update your OS.

Mavericks 10.9 tends to be the base OS supported for modern structures.

Shonda Rhimes has teamed up with Dove to develop a "multigenerational sisterhood" that inspires confidence among women and girls.
The author, TV producer and screenwriter has joined forces with the beauty giant on the launch of the "Girl Collective," which aims to challenge beauty stereotypes through honest, authentic and practical conversations. The new initiative is part of Dove's ongoing "Self Esteem Project," which the Unilever-owned brand has been running since 2004.
Rhimes is not the only star member of the Girl Collective: musician SZA, transgender activist Jazz Jennings and viral dance group Syncopated Ladies are also involved in the project, as is the intimate apparel brand Aerie.
