Former health-tech director appointed at AWRC
AppointmentsFeatured
Jason Brannan
Sheffield Hallam University's Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre (AWRC) has appointed a former director of health tech specialist, Medilink, as its new Deputy Director.
Jason Brannan has joined the helm at the world-leading research centre dedicated to designing innovations that help people move.
Bringing over 20 years of health industry experience to the role, Jason is passionate about effecting change in the healthcare sector, addressing health inequalities and moving the focus from intervention to prevention.
As chair of the Sheffield City Region Healthcare Technology Sector Group, the business strategy and public relations and communications specialist will help to harness the multi-disciplinary research and industry expertise within the AWRC and will drive forward its focus on the development and application of new and emerging technologies to help people move and improve health and wellbeing across the population.
"COVID-19 has placed a spotlight on the need for greater focus on prevention and resilience and it's important that businesses and large organisations recognise the opportunity to effect change in the sector by being involved in upstream healthcare," said Mr Brannan.
"Another important aspect of this for me is addressing health inequalities. Someone from South West Sheffield really should not have a vastly different life expectancy or health outcomes than someone from North East Sheffield, and the same applies to other towns and cities across the UK.
"While the Deputy Director position at the AWRC has a global remit, I am passionate about Sheffield and this role will truly give me a chance to make a positive impact on the Sheffield City Region."
Professor Robert Copeland, Director of the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, said: "The appointment of Jason Brannan as Deputy Director is a significant move forwards for the AWRC in realising one of its core ambitions, to lead in research and development for business and industry across the health and wellbeing sector.
"Jason and I have spoken at length since he agreed to join the project and he shares a personal as well as professional commitment to improving the health and wellbeing of residents across the Sheffield City Region.
"Jason is a strong fit for the mission-led culture we are building at the AWRC and I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to work with him in the next phase of development for the Centre."

Winner: IPVanish
IPVanish is the fastest VPN, on all the tests we conducted for both streaming and browsing, IPVanish always had an edge over VyprVPN, the difference, however, is not massive.
VyprVPN is much cheaper and the price is one of its biggest pros. Right now you can get a 24-month plan and enjoy an 80% discount by paying only $2.50 per month, that being said, IPVanish is also running a great 73% discount, and if you sign up for a 1-year plan you'll only pay $3.25 per month.
Winner: VyprVPN
VyprVPN is more secure in the sense that is located in Switzerland while IPVanish is located in the United States which is part of the Five Eyes group of countries engaged in an agreement that includes collaboration on intelligence, comprised of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the United States.
IPVanish has close to 1300 servers while VyprVPN has about 700 servers, which means IPVanish has almost twice the amount of servers as VyprVPN.
IPVanish has 75 countries available for you to connect to, on the other hand, VyprVPN has 70 countries to which you may connect, although it's not a major difference, IPVanish does have more servers than VyprVPN.
VyprVPN has no issues at connecting and streaming different content from platforms like Netflix or Hulu from locations such as the US and Brazil. It did have some issues connecting to Amazon Prime US and FuboTV. On the other hand, IPVanish had even more issues when connecting to platforms such as Amazon Prime and FuboTV, on top of that, it also had trouble connecting from other countries other than the US.
VyprVPN has extremely helpful and efficient 24/7 customer support which is very fast at answering any of its customer's queries, IPVanish also has great customer support, however, VyprVPN does offer outstanding customer support.
EXPRESSVPN VS NORDVPN
VyprVPN vs IPVanish: Verdict
In this VyprVPN vs IPVanish comparison we found out that VyprVPN and IPVanish came to a technical draw, that being said, some of the results were very close calls, overall we'd pick VyprVPN as a better choice, this is subjective and you should prioritize the VPN provider that better suits your needs. If you are looking to stream content from different countries, VyprVPN is the best choice, if you are looking for faster connections with more servers and locations, then you should choose IPVanish.

I'm a filmmaker with extensive training in multiple sectors of content creation whose films have been shown all over the world. I have also served as a speaker and jury member in multiple events. Nonetheless, in recent years, I became extremely disappointed with the course of the art world in general, and as consequence, I've developed an interest in topics I believed would become crucial for the future, namely, cybersecurity, self-education, web design, and investing in various assets, such as cryptocurrencies. All those events have driven me to launch RushRadar.

The Guild collection touches on high-end luxury with styles made from a range of materials such as marble, gold iron and blackened timber. This range could easily sit within classic interior styles as well as more contemporary looks.
The Guild Ascot Coffee Table features a slender three-legged frame of rounded Gold iron that supports an elegant White marble top. The marble top has subtle veins of grey and neutral tones.
New stock is due to arrive in late January 2019.


I am a Fauve fangirl, so you should probably take what I say with a grain of salt, but this is one superb bra. I am even, functionally FOB, close-set, side-heavy but narrow rooted with immediate projection. Fit: check. Support: check. Sophisticated Style: check. Fabrics: Check. Construction: Check. Comfort: Check. Snuggly feeling that under my clothes I am a goddess: Check! This Isobel balcony is a deep eggplant purple, with accents of cafe au lait embroidery and ribbons. It has side support panels bringing me front and center, and side boning to hold in the underarm bulge. Construction overall is excellent, with great attention to detail and finishing.The ... fabric has a delightfully soft, almost velvety feel to the skin. The sides are a strong matching powermesh, quite supportive and not binding. The straps are not very stretchy, fully adjustable and edged with picot, as is the entire band. There are embroidery embellishments at the clasp, which always makes me imagine a Someone undoing it in flickering candlelight (but that's generally how I feel in my Fauves anyway). The shape is natural, not round but not pointy; uplifted and centered. The gore is narrow; the wires touch at the top. The wires themselves are neither narrow nor wide and are in a perfect U shape. I don't feel this bra on like I do Cleos or Ewas, so the wires must be comfy! The top embroidered sheer mesh panel has cloth binding along the top edge, but it does not cut in on me, just defines the curve of my breast nicely. It does have a fairly high gore and pretty high coverage, but I don't feel covered up because of the sheer mesh and because it fits so well. For me there is no gapping at the strap or top cup as there is with plunge and full coverage cuts. This is my 3rd Isobel balcony, and they are all winners! The Isobel half cup / plunge was a horrid fit, though.


Rebekah suggests incorporating your art, family photos, and hanging plates and other cute knick-knacks from around the house. "This is a super easy, inexpensive way to fill up a wall," she added.
One major design mistake is buying a rug that's too small for your space. Lori said your carpet should go underneath the furniture pieces, at least the front legs. "If it's floating out in the middle, it's making the room look smaller and choppy," she said. "You can ground the space with a nice, new, big rug." Lori's favorites: a Seagrass woven look or soft, patterned rug.
Gwendolyn Gibbish, a Los Angeles-based interior designer, believes it's important to take stock of what you already own before making a fresh start. "Take a second look at pieces you might have hidden away in a closet or rearrange pieces from other rooms in a new space to make them feel different and updated," she said.

New grants help Australian teachers build digital skills
In a world where technology is evolving rapidly, it's vital that Australian teachers have the knowledge and access to the resources they need in order to equip students for the future.
For the past ten years, we've been contributing to these efforts through Google's Educator Professional Development Grants program providing teachers with skills and tools to confidently teach computational thinking and computer science concepts. In that time, over 20,000 teachers have benefited from the practical professional development workshops.
This year, our grants aim to bring digital technologies training to teachers in regional and remote communities where access to these opportunities can sometimes be limited.
We're excited to announce 19 winners across Australia:
Australian Catholic University
Australian Data Science Education Institute
Coding and Innovation Hub
Design & Technology Teachers' Association Victoria (DATTA Vic)
Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria
Drummond Memorial Public School
Goodna State School
Grok Academy
Mountain Creek State High School
Nazareth Catholic College
Queensland Society for Information Technology in Education (Gold Coast Chapter)
School of Special Educational Needs: Disability
Tech Girls Movement Foundation
The University of Newcastle, Australia
The University of Newcastle, Australia (SMART Program)
University of the Sunshine Coast (Moreton Campus)
University of the Sunshine Coast (Fraser Coast Campus)
The impact of PD Grants for Educators
It's been inspiring to see teachers build their skills and watch the impact this has had in local communities.
"The ongoing provision of the Google Educator PD grants (3 years) has resulted in us being able to build a solid reputation in the North Queensland region as a provider of excellent quality Digital Technologies Teacher Professional Development," said Leanne Cameron, a Senior Lecturer at James Cook University. "Additionally, the participants have learned that they will continue to be supported and updated into the future."
Last year, COVID-19 delayed many of the 'hands-on' workshops. But awardees found innovative ways to deliver training safely and sometimes remotely. James Cook University overcame the challenges presented by the pandemic to hold a series of virtual sessions with indigenous students from remote areas, who were able to join from local learning hubs.
Once restrictions had eased, the university was able to bring a group of teachers together from the remote community schools to discuss the curriculum and conduct 'train the trainer' sessions.
"These teachers have now gone back into their communities to share what they have learned, supported by the workshop leaders in optional weekly online sessions that will continue until the end of the current semester," said Leanne.
In 2021 James Cook University hopes to use its Educator Grant to offer practical workshops that will complement the more theoretical offerings of last year.

How Long Do Robins Sit On Their Eggs
April 18, 2022 April 15, 2022 by insidemynest
Robins are known to build their nests and sit on their eggs for extended periods, but how long do they actually sit on their eggs?
European robins sit on their eggs for an average of 12 days. There is a wide range, however, as the incubation period can be from 10-14 days. Once the eggs have hatched, both parents will help to take care of the chicks until they can fly and fend for themselves, which takes another 14-18 days. So, in total, robins will incubate their eggs for 26-32 days. This is relatively short compared to other bird species.
Interestingly, European Robins are one of the few bird species that start incubating their eggs before all of them have been laid. This is because they will keep sitting on the eggs even if one or more of them are not fertile. If you see a European Robin with an empty nest, it's probably because the eggs have all hatched and the parents have gone off to find food for their young.
What Is Incubation?
Incubation is the process of keeping the eggs warm so that the embryos can develop. The European robin will keep the eggs warm by sitting on them, and they will also turn the eggs over regularly to make sure that all of them are getting an even amount of warmth.
When the eggs hatch, the parents will continue to take care of the chicks. They will feed them insects and help them learn how to fly. After the eggs hatch, the chicks are brooded for about two weeks until they can regulate their body temperature. During this time, the father robin will provide food to the mother and the chicks. The parents will start bringing the chicks food and teaching them how to obtain food on their own once they can fend for themselves. The chicks will stay with their parents for around 3 weeks before they are ready to start flying on their own.
What Does The European Robin Do When She Is Not Incubating Her Eggs?
European robins are very active when they are not incubating their eggs. They will spend a lot of time foraging for food and flying around their territory. They may also sing to defend their territory or attract a mate. Moreover, European robins will often build nests. They will gather materials like grass, twigs, and moss to make a comfortable place for their eggs. Once the eggs are laid, the robins will take turns incubating them so that they hatch successfully.
In addition to the aforementioned, European robins do a lot of activities like singing, mating, flying, and foraging. She is very busy living her life and caring for her eggs. As long as she keeps the eggs warm, everything will be alright!
What Factors Can Influence How Long A European Robin Will Sit On Its Eggs?
The length of time a European robin will sit on its eggs can be affected by several factors. These include weather, availability of food, humidity, and the age and health of the parents. If the weather is too hot or too cold, the robins may have to spend less time incubating their eggs. The robins may decide to leave the eggs to protect them from the elements.
Another factor is the availability of food. If there is not enough food, the robins will have to leave the eggs more often to find something to eat. This can also shorten the amount of time they spend incubating their eggs. Moreover, if the humidity is too high or too low, the eggs may not hatch successfully. It may also be more difficult for the robins to keep the eggs warm if the humidity is high.
The length of time a European robin will sit on its eggs can also be influenced by the age and health of the parents. If either of the parents is unhealthy, they may not be able to sit on the eggs for as long as is necessary. In the end, the robins will only sit on their eggs as long as necessary to ensure that they hatch successfully. And it is up to them to decide how long they will stay on the eggs.
How Do European Robins Know When To Start & Stop Sitting On Their Eggs?
There are a few different ways that European robins can determine when their eggs are ready to hatch. One is by keeping track of how warm the eggs are. If the eggs get too hot or too cold, the robin will know to sit on them more or less to keep them at the right temperature.
Robins can also tell when the eggs are ready to hatch by listening to the chicks inside of the eggs. When the chicks start to chirp, it means that they're almost ready to hatch, and the robin will start sitting on them more frequently to keep them warm.
Lastly, European robins can tell when their eggs are ready to hatch by checking the size of the embryos. When the embryos are about the size of a cherry, the robin knows that the eggs will hatch within a day or two.
Hence, by using all of these methods, European robins can generally gauge when their eggs are ready to hatch and start sitting on them accordingly.
Other Facts about the european Robin
The European robin is a small insectivorous passerine bird that was first introduced to North America in the 1890s. It has also been introduced to other areas of the world, including New Zealand and Australia. The species has spread rapidly across much of Europe since it was first released in England's Bedfordshire county as early as 1875. European robins are typically about 9.8 cm long and have a wingspan of about 22 cm. They weigh between 16 and 22 g.
European robins are sexually dimorphic, with the male being slightly larger than the female. The male has a bright orange chest and throat which contrasts with its otherwise mainly dark brown plumage. The female is mainly reddish-brown with some light spotting on the chest. Both male and female have a white patch on the forehead and a thin black line running from the beak to the neck.

Despite his four-year absence from the crucible of Supreme Court jurisprudence, Justice Stevens remains a vibrant and active observer of the law. In addition to playing golf and tennis, the 94-year-old jurist is on the lecture circuit promoting his new book, SIX AMENDMENTS: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution. As the title suggests, Stevens has strong opinions about recent Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Constitution. Those decisions, Stevens contends, have negatively impacted our basic law. Stevens is too much of a gentleman and legal scholar to suggest that the court's recent work is unprincipled or unsound. Instead, he accepts the doctrine of stare decisis and suggests that the Constitution should be amended to overcome the doctrine enunciated in recent Supreme Court decisions.
Two of the six amendments he recommends involve mundane legal matters relating to the "Anti-Commandeering" Rule and Sovereign Immunity. Leaving these proposals aside for a longer treatment of Justice Stevens' proposals, his discussion regarding reapportionment, campaign finance, the death penalty and the Second Amendment are the issues that are certain to provoke debate and fire up the political juices of readers both for and against the Stevens proposals.
Each chapter follows the same format, with Stevens discussing the present state of the law and the difficulty created by present legal doctrine. For gerrymandering, the problem is very simple. Voters are thrown into legislative districts tailored by the political party in power to give that party an electoral advantage. In 2012, for example, there were more total Democratic votes for House members than Republican votes. But Republicans had controlled the map-drawing process in most states and the districts they had created allowed more Republicans than Democrats to be elected to the House of Representatives.
Racial gerrymandering is prohibited by the Constitution and legal decision. But political gerrymandering, although anti-democratic, remains allowable under the law. To remedy this problem, Stevens proposes a constitutional amendment that prohibits gerrymandering for partisan political reasons. Gerrymandering is practiced by both political parties, and for this reason a Constitutional Amendment appears highly unlikely. Some states, however, have confronted this problem by creating nonpartisan reapportionment bodies. Citizen pressure in more states to proceed along this path would obviate the need for a constitutional amendment.
On campaign finance, Justice Stevens is far too charitable to his former colleagues on the Supreme Court. While describing the process whereby money became defined as speech and thus gained constitutional protection, the justice declines to criticize members of the court during his service. Criticism is warranted. Those decisions are perfect examples of judicial activism run amok. The justices decided an issue that had not even been brought to them for decision and decided it incorrectly. Money is simply not speech and even if it were, it can be regulated just as other elements of speech. To correct this constitutional problem, an amendment is not required.
Justice Stevens is straightforward and brief on the death penalty. He would abolish it. On the Second Amendment, Stevens once again avoids criticizing his colleagues for their judicially active treatment of its meaning. For centuries the "militia' clause" of the amendment was read as a limitation upon the free and unlimited access to many weapons. In 2008, five justices found in the Second Amendment a right to possess weapons for self-defense. Stevens dissented from that decision as well as a subsequent court ruling prohibiting states from limiting weapon possession. While proposing a constitutional amendment, Justice Stevens certainly understands it has no hope of adoption.
Justice Stevens has presented a thoughtful and informative discussion on how the Constitution and our nation can begin to solve some of the serious difficulties we face as a country. Unfortunately, the Constitution, as Stevens notes, is not easily amended. In these current times of deep political division and strife, constitutional amendments are a pipe dream. Incremental change is the best America can obtain. Hopefully politicians may soon come to their senses and begin such a process. If not, our very Constitution is in danger.

Sept. 28, 2012 was a day for the record books. Last Friday, for the first time and probably the last time, Apple admitted that it was wrong about something. No, Apple is not a perfect company. Yes, it is capable of making mistakes.
With the release of the iPhone 5 and Apple Maps, the media hummed with the news of Apple's departure from Google products. But this giant shift was executed prematurely.
Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, responded to critics by posting a public apology on Apple's homepage. The letter even offered other alternatives to Apple Maps, such as Mapquest, Bing and, yes, Google Maps. But preceding these suggestions, Cook did mention that "the more our customers use our Maps, the better it will get." Apple is still digging for a reason why its consumers should trudge through the fidgety programming that rival companies have already perfected.
The map images from Apple Maps have flattened the Brooklyn Bridge, constructed highways through cornfields, relocated whole businesses blocks over and even stretched out the Eiffel Tower.
Basically, Apple Maps doesn't get you where you are going. If you are lucky, you might end up within a two-mile radius of your final destination.
For the iPhone 5, Apple mainly focused on severing relations with its competitors and made becoming a completely independent business the priority. Apple failed to make a finished product that's on par with past iPhone releases. I think that's what has infuriated the public so deeply: They were expecting an Apple-level product, and instead, they got Google Maps from the early stages.
But should this one mishap revoke Apple's overall credibility? Apple was in a hurry to release its new model less than a year after introducing the iPhone 4S. A large company like Apple shouldn't have made a giant step forward if its bridge was unstable or flattened.
But, Apple Maps drama aside, is the iPhone 5 better than the iPhone 4S? Yes. The screen is larger, the phone is lighter and the images are clearer. With the addition of 4G capabilities, the phone is faster as well.
I, like most of my generation, own many Apple products. In fact, I have become utterly dependent on them. No, I am not disappointed with Apple's latest product.
Apple's strong past negates its rocky start with the iPhone 5. In the decade since the release of the first iPod, Apple has drastically changed the technological world.
Behind closed curtains, I am sure Apple is hard at work on something new and innovative. Without Apple, I can picture today's younger generations still walking around with Walkmans and headphones.
Overall, the iPhone 5 is not a flop or a fail. It's the slimmer, sleeker and lighter phone that America asked for. Apple stocks have soared higher with each new product release. Apple is still the leading company in computing technology, and the iPhone is nationally regarded as one of the top phones, now spreading to more and more phone companies.
When Apple fixes all of the problems with Maps, the unenthusiastic reviews of the iPhone 5 should simmer back down. Then, unhindered, Apple can get back to work on the iPhone 6.


This article is about the geopolitical entity created in Palestine under British administration. For the Mandate instrument passed by the League of Nations granting Britain a mandate over Palestine and Transjordan, see British Mandate for Palestine (legal instrument).
Mandatory Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين Filasṭīn; Hebrew: פָּלֶשְׂתִּינָה (א"י) Pālēśtīnā (EY), where "EY" indicates "Eretz Yisrael", Land of Israel) was a geopolitical entity under British administration, carved out of Ottoman Southern Syria after World War I. British civil administration in Palestine operated from 1920 until 1948. During its existence the territory was known simply as Palestine, but, in later years, a variety of other names and descriptors have been used, including Mandatory or Mandate Palestine, the British Mandate of Palestine and British Palestine.
During the First World War (1914–18), an Arab uprising and the British Empire's Egyptian Expeditionary Force under General Edmund Allenby drove the Turks out of the Levant during the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. The United Kingdom had agreed in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence that it would honour Arab independence if they revolted against the Ottomans, but the two sides had different interpretations of this agreement, and in the end the UK and France divided up the area under the Sykes–Picot Agreement—an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs. Further confusing the issue was the Balfour Declaration of 1917, promising British support for a Jewish "national home" in Palestine. At the war's end the British and French set up a joint "Occupied Enemy Territory Administration" in what had been Ottoman Syria. The British achieved legitimacy for their continued control by obtaining a mandate from the League of Nations in June 1922. The formal objective of the League of Nations Mandate system was to administer parts of the defunct Ottoman Empire, which had been in control of the Middle East since the 16th century, "until such time as they are able to stand alone." The civil Mandate administration was formalized with the League of Nations' consent in 1923 under the British Mandate for Palestine, which covered two administrative areas. The land west of the Jordan River, known as Palestine, was under direct British administration until 1948. The land east of the Jordan, a semi-autonomous region known as Transjordan, under the rule of the Hashemite family from the Hijaz, gained independence in 1946.
During the British Mandate period the area experienced the ascent of two major nationalist movements, one among the Jews and the other among the Arabs. The competing national interests of the Arab and Jewish populations of Palestine against each other and against the governing British authorities matured into the Arab Revolt of 1936–1939 and the Jewish insurgency in Palestine before culminating in the Civil War of 1947–1948. The aftermath of the Civil War and the consequent 1948 Arab–Israeli War led to the establishment of the 1949 cease-fire agreement, with partition of the former Mandatory Palestine between the newborn state of Israel with a Jewish majority, the West Bank annexed by the Jordanian Kingdom and the Arab All-Palestine Government in the Gaza Strip under the military occupation of Egypt.
Following its occupation by British troops in 1917–1918, Palestine was governed by the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration. In July 1920, the military administration was replaced by a civilian administration headed by a High Commissioner. The first High Commissioner, Herbert Samuel, a Zionist recent cabinet minister, arrived in Palestine on 20 June 1920, to take up his appointment from 1 July.
Following the arrival of the British, Muslim-Christian Associations were established in all the major towns. In 1919 they joined to hold the first Palestine Arab Congress in Jerusalem. Its main platforms were a call for representative government and opposition to the Balfour Declaration.
The Zionist Commission was formed in March 1918 and was active in promoting Zionist objectives in Palestine. On 19 April 1920, elections were held for the Assembly of Representatives of the Palestinian Jewish community. The Zionist Commission received official recognition in 1922 as representative of the Palestinian Jewish community.
One of the first actions of the newly installed civil administration in 1921 had been to grant Pinhas Rutenberg—a Jewish entrepreneur—concessions for the production and distribution of wired electricity. Rutenberg soon established an electric company whose shareholders were Zionist organizations, investors, and philanthropists. Palestinian-Arabs saw it as proof that the British intended to favor Zionism. The British administration claimed that electrification would enhance the economic development of the country as a whole, while at the same time securing their commitment to facilitate a Jewish National Home through economic—rather than political—means.
Samuel tried to establish self-governing institutions in Palestine, as required by the mandate, but was frustrated by the refusal of the Arab leadership to co-operate with any institution which included Jewish participation. When Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Kamil al-Husayni died in March 1921, High Commissioner Samuel appointed his half-brother Mohammad Amin al-Husseini to the position. Amin al-Husseini, a member of the al-Husayni clan of Jerusalem, was an Arab nationalist and Muslim leader. As Grand Mufti, as well as the other influential positions that he held during this period, al-Husseini played a key role in violent opposition to Zionism. In 1922, al-Husseini was elected President of the Supreme Muslim Council which had been created by Samuel in December 1921. The Council controlled the Waqf funds, worth annually tens of thousands of pounds and the orphan funds, worth annually about £50,000, as compared to the £600,000 in the Jewish Agency's annual budget. In addition, he controlled the Islamic courts in Palestine. Among other functions, these courts were entrusted with the power to appoint teachers and preachers.
The 1922 Palestine Order in Council established a Legislative Council, which was to consist of 23 members: 12 elected, 10 appointed, and the High Commissioner. Of the 12 elected members, eight were to be Muslim Arabs, two Christian Arabs and two Jews. Arabs protested against the distribution of the seats, arguing that as they constituted 88% of the population, having only 43% of the seats was unfair. Elections were held in February and March 1923, but due to an Arab boycott, the results were annulled and a 12-member Advisory Council was established.
A 1930 protest in Jerusalem against the British Mandate by Palestinian women . The sign reads "No dialogue, no negotiations until termination [of the Mandate]".
The Jewish Lehi (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) and Irgun (National Military Organization) movements initiated violent uprisings against the British Mandate in 1940, in the former case, and in 1939, briefly, and 1944, for longer and on a larger scale, in the latter. On 6 November 1944, Eliyahu Hakim and Eliyahu Bet Zuri (members of Lehi) assassinated Lord Moyne in Cairo. Moyne was the British Minister of State for the Middle East and the assassination is said by some to have turned British Prime Minister Winston Churchill against the Zionist cause. After the assassination of Lord Moyne, the Haganah kidnapped, interrogated, and turned over to the British many members of the Irgun ("The Hunting Season"), and the Jewish Agency Executive decided on a series of measures against "terrorist organizations" in Palestine. Irgun ordered its members not to resist or retaliate with violence, so as to prevent a civil war. The three main Jewish underground forces later united to form the Jewish Resistance Movement and carry out several attacks and bombings against the British administration. In 1946, the Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the headquarters of the British administration, killing 92 people. Following the bombing, the British Government began interning illegal Jewish immigrants in Cyprus. In 1948 the Lehi assassinated the UN mediator Count Bernadotte in Jerusalem. Yitzak Shamir, future prime minister of Israel was one of the conspirators.
The negative publicity resulting from the situation in Palestine caused the Mandate to become widely unpopular in Britain, and caused the United States Congress to delay granting the British vital loans for reconstruction. The British Labour party had promised before its election to allow mass Jewish migration into Palestine but reneged on this promise once in office. Anti-British Jewish militancy increased and the situation required the presence of over 100,000 British troops in the country. Following the Acre Prison Break and the retaliatory hanging of British Sergeants by the Irgun, the British announced their desire to terminate the mandate and withdraw by no later than the beginning of August 1948.
On 29 November, the UN General Assembly, voting 33 to 13, with 10 abstentions, adopted a resolution recommending the adoption and implementation of the Plan of Partition with Economic Union as Resolution 181 (II)., while making some adjustments to the boundaries between the two states proposed by it. The division was to take effect on the date of British withdrawal. The partition plan required that the proposed states grant full civil rights to all people within their borders, regardless of race, religion or gender. It is important to note that the UN General Assembly is only granted the power to make recommendations, therefore, UNGAR 181 was not legally binding. Both the U.S. and the Soviet Union supported the resolution. Haiti, Liberia, and the Philippines changed their votes at the last moment after concerted pressure from the U.S. and from Zionist organisations. The five members of the Arab League, who were voting members at the time, voted against the Plan.
Some Jewish organisations also opposed the proposal. Irgun leader Menachem Begin announced, "The partition of the Homeland is illegal. It will never be recognized. The signature by institutions and individuals of the partition agreement is invalid. It will not bind the Jewish people. Jerusalem was and will forever be our capital. Eretz Israel will be restored to the people of Israel. All of it. And for ever." These views were publicly rejected by the majority of the nascent Jewish state.
Immediately after the UN resolution, the 1947-1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine broke out between the Arab and Jewish communities, and British authority began to break down. On December 16, 1947, the Palestine Police Force withdrew from the Tel Aviv area, home to more than half the Jewish population, and turned over responsibility for the maintenance of law and order to Jewish police. As the civil war raged on, British military forces gradually withdrew from Palestine, although they occasionally intervened in favor of either side. As they withdrew, they handed over control to local authorities, and locally raised police forces were charged with maintaining law and order. The areas they withdrew from often quickly became war zones. The British maintained strong presences in Jerusalem and Haifa, even as Jerusalem came under siege by Arab forces and became the scene of fierce fighting, though the British occasionally intervened in the fighting, largely to secure their evacuation routes, including by proclaiming martial law and enforcing truces. The Palestine Police Force was largely inoperative, and government services such as social welfare, control of water supplies, and postal services were withdrawn. In April 1948, the British withdrew from most of Haifa, but retained an enclave in the port area to be used in the evacuation of British forces, and temporarily retained RAF Ramat David airbase to cover their retreat, leaving behind a volunteer police force to maintain order. The city was quickly captured by the Haganah in the Battle of Haifa. Following the victory, British forces in Jerusalem announced that they had no intention of assuming control of any local administrations, but would not permit any actions that would hamper the safe and orderly withdrawal of British forces from Palestine, and would set up military courts to try persons who interfered. Although by this time British authority in most of Palestine had broken down, with most of the country in control of the Jews and Arabs, the British air and sea blockade of Palestine remained firmly in place.
At the same time that the state of Israel was being declared the Haganah took over formerly British-controlled areas in Jerusalem. As the mandate era came to an end, radical Jewish forces, from whose actions the Haganah distanced themselves, began to clear Palestinian Arab communities in the area which would become Israel.
On 15 May 1948, the Palestine Mandate ended and the State of Israel came into being. The Palestine Government formally ceased to exist, the status of British forces still in the process of withdrawal from Haifa changed to occupiers of foreign territory, the Palestine Police Force formally stood down and was disbanded, with the remaining personnel evacuated alongside British military forces, the British blockade of Palestine was lifted, and all Mandatory Palestine passports ceased to give British protection.
Over the next few days, approximately 700 Lebanese, 1,876 Syrian, 4,000 Iraqi, 2,800 Egyptian troops crossed over the borders and into Palestine (see 1948 Arab-Israeli War). Around 4,500 Transjordanian troops, commanded partly by 38 British officers who had resigned their commissions in the British army only weeks earlier, including overall commander, General John Bagot Glubb, entered the Corpus separatum region encompassing Jerusalem and its environs (in response to the Haganah's Operation Kilshon) and moved into areas designated as part of the Arab state by the UN partition plan.
In 1926, the British authorities formally decided to use the traditional Arabic and Hebrew equivalents to the English name, i.e. filasţīn (فلسطين) and pālēśtīnā (פּלשׂתינה) respectively. The Jewish leadership proposed that the proper Hebrew name should be ʾĒrēts Yiśrāʾel (ארץ ישׂראל=Land of Israel). The final compromise was to add the initials of the Hebrew proposed name, Alef-Yud, within parenthesis (א״י), whenever the Mandate's name was mentioned in Hebrew in official documents. The Arab leadership saw this compromise as a violation of the mandate terms. Some Arab politicians suggested that there should be a similar Arabic concession, such as "Southern Syria" (سوريا الجنوبية). The British authorities rejected this proposal.
During the Mandate, the Yishuv or Jewish community in Palestine, grew from one-sixth to almost one-third of the population. According to official records, 367,845 Jews and 33,304 non-Jews immigrated legally between 1920 and 1945. It was estimated that another 50–60,000 Jews and a marginal number of Arabs, the latter mostly on a seasonal basis, immigrated illegally during this period. Immigration accounted for most of the increase of Jewish population, while the non-Jewish population increase was largely natural.
In 1919, the General Secretary (and future President) of the Zionist Organization, Nahum Sokolow, published History of Zionism (1600–1918). He also represented the Zionist Organization at the Paris Peace Conference.
The United Nations Special Committee on Palestine said the Jewish National Home, which derived from the formulation of Zionist aspirations in the 1897 Basle program has provoked many discussions concerning its meaning, scope and legal character, especially since it had no known legal connotation and there are no precedents in international law for its interpretation. It was used in the Balfour Declaration and in the Mandate, both of which promised the establishment of a "Jewish National Home" without, however, defining its meaning. A statement on "British Policy in Palestine," issued on 3 June 1922 by the Colonial Office, placed a restrictive construction upon the Balfour Declaration. The statement included "the disappearance or subordination of the Arabic population, language or customs in Palestine" or "the imposition of Jewish nationality upon the inhabitants of Palestine as a whole", and made it clear that in the eyes of the mandatory Power, the Jewish National Home was to be founded in Palestine and not that Palestine as a whole was to be converted into a Jewish National Home. The Committee noted that the construction, which restricted considerably the scope of the National Home, was made prior to the confirmation of the Mandate by the Council of the League of Nations and was formally accepted at the time by the Executive of the Zionist Organization.
In 1942, the Biltmore Program was adopted as the platform of the World Zionist Organization. It demanded "that Palestine be established as a Jewish Commonwealth." In 1946 an Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, also known as the Grady-Morrison Committee, noted that the demand for a Jewish State went beyond the obligations of either the Balfour Declaration or the Mandate and had been expressly disowned by the Chairman of the Jewish Agency as recently as 1932. The Jewish Agency subsequently refused to accept the Grady Morrison Plan as the basis for discussion. A spokesman for the agency, Eliahu Epstein, told the US State Department that the Agency could not attend the London conference if the Grady-Morrison proposal was on the agenda. He stated that the Agency was unwilling to be placed in a position where it might have to compromise between the Grady-Morrison proposals on the one hand and its own partition plan on the other. He stated that the Agency had accepted partition as the solution for Palestine which it favoured.
In 1920, the majority of the approximately 750,000 people in this multi-ethnic region were Arabic-speaking Muslims, including a Bedouin population (estimated at 103,331 at the time of the 1922 census and concentrated in the Beersheba area and the region south and east of it), as well as Jews (who comprised some 11% of the total) and smaller groups of Druze, Syrians, Sudanese, Circassians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Hejazi Arabs.
The Mandate territory was divided into administrative regions known as districts and administer by the office of the British High Commissioner for Palestine.
Literacy rates in 1932 were 86% for the Jews compared to 22% for the Palestinian Arabs, but Arab literacy rates steadily increased thereafter. Palestinian Arabs compared favorably in this respect to residents of Egypt and Turkey, but unfavourably to the Lebanese.

Q: How to make key board commands in java I just started making an RPG with my friend. We want to be able to move the character around, using either arrow keys, or WASD. I don't know how to do so, and I've been looking over the internet for a bit. I know I have to use ActionListener, but beyond that, I have no idea what I'm doing with it. This is the part of the code that uses the keyboard input, but I don't know what to do to
public class Character implements ActionListener
 {
  public static char KBoard(char w, char a, char s, char d)
   {
     /_\-|(This is what I need help with, reading in the keyboard input)|-/_\
     return kBoard;
    }
   public static int MoveX (int velocity)
    {
     velocity = 5

     Switch (kBoard)

     case 'w':
     characterPosX -= velocity;
     break;

     case 's':
     characterPosX += velocity;
     break;

     return characterPosY;
    }
   public static int MoveY (int velocity)
    {
     velocity = 5

     Switch (kBoard)

     case 'a':
     characterPosY -= velocity;
     break;

     case 'd':
     characterPosY += velocity;
     break;
     return characterPosY;
    }
   public void Character ()
    {
      (code to make the character appear)
    }
   }

A: You don't need action listener.
You need to use a scanner - one that reads in the input, constantly.
public static char KBoard(char w, char a, char s, char d)
{
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("");
    char kBoard = scan.nextChar();
    return kBoard;
}

But hey, now if anyone needs to know, they can look here. You can also add a filter here, an if-else statement, to make sure that the only chars getting passed in are the chars you want, and none of the others will work.
