Brandeis University is a private research university, as well as the only nonsectarian Jewish-sponsored college or university in USA- Boston, Ma.
The Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (IMES) major is an interdisciplinary curriculum organized and taught by faculty in the Departments of Near Eastern and Judiac Studies (NEJS), Politics, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Economics, Fine Arts and African and Afro-American Studies. Designed to provide a strong foundation in Middle Eastern studies with a specialized knowledge of Islam, the program provides unique opportunities to examine current geopolitical events and develop a deep understanding of religion, culture, and society in the Arab World, Turkey, Iran, and Israel. With a solid training in language, history, political theory and praxis, and the ideals and practices of Islam, the major is especially appropriate for students wishing to pursue graduate work in the fields of Middle Eastern Studies and Islamic Studies, and provides a solid foundation for students who wish to pursue careers dealing directly or indirectly with the Middle East.
Be able to frame questions, investigate problems and evaluate conclusions using one or more academic disciplines or approaches (e.g. historical analysis, political science, social scientific analysis, and critical theories in the study of religion).
Be able to directly access the language(s) and culture(s) of the Middle East, in order to obtain a more objective understanding of issues pertaining to the fields of Middle Eastern Studies and Islamic Studies.
Be familiar with and recognize scholarly conventions and debates concerning the Middle East and Islamic Studies.
Be able to critically assess claims made by those in the field and in the mass media.
Be able to appreciate diversity in and between the political, cultural, and religious traditions of the Middle East, and to contribute to a greater understanding in the service of a more just and peaceful society.
The general history of the Middle East from the rise of Islam until the contemporary period, with specialized knowledge of their particular area, or period, of interest.
The contemporary political economics, and social institutions of the Middle East.
The history of ideas in the Middle East and its relation to contemporary events.
Students who wish to major in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies must take the core course in Islamic civilization (IMES 104a) and at least two full years of a Middle Eastern language. Students who are fluent in Arabic, Persian, or Turkish may be exempted from the language requirements for a major in IMES upon approval by the chair of IMES. In addition, with the goal of achieving a balanced understanding of the overall field of study, the student must take two courses in the classical period and two courses in the modern period, as well as three courses to be chosen from the wide intellectual variety of elective courses. Elective courses may include two upper level Arabic courses: ARBC 103a, 103b, 106a, and 106b. Study in the Middle East for a term or a year is encouraged. As a culmination of the student's education, he or she is encouraged to write a senior honors thesis with emphasis on some aspects of Islamic or Middle Eastern studies. A member of the IMES faculty must supervise the honors thesis.


In employment litigation, statistical evidence now plays an increasingly important role in testing a charge of discrimination in various labor market related areas. The methodology of multiple regression analysis has come to be recognized as quite an effective analytical tool to perform such a task.
A variety of authors have explained the methodology and how to use it in an appropriate manner (Bloom & Killingsworth, 1982; McCabe, 1986; Finkelstein & Levin, 1990). The authors typically consider a single "discriminating" factor and explore how the methodology can be applied to test whether the relevant data support the charge of discrimination.
In some of the recent cases discrimination charges are based on more than one legally protected characteristic. Employees have complained that they have been discriminated against because of their race and gender (Foster v. Dalton); race and age (Coleman v. Runyon); gender and age (Walker v. Nationsbank of Florida); race, gender and age (Dewey v. PTT Telecom), etc. For the lack of a better term we will refer to these cases as "Discrimination Plus" cases.(1) Statistical tests relevant for these cases are more complex than the simple framework that we just described.
The objective of this article is to develop the appropriate multiple regression methodology to be applied in such discrimination plus cases. In particular, we consider only race and gender in a linear multiple regression analysis context, although the argument is generalizable to cases involving more than two discriminating factors as well as binary dependent variables. In section II we consider the single-factor discrimination cases whereas section III explores the discrimination plus case in greater details. Section IV explores the alternative "reduced" sample and "full" sample specifications that one may try in testing for these plus cases and comments on the relative merits of the full sample specification. Section V concludes.
To test for discrimination in earnings, an earnings function can be estimated with earnings as the dependent variable. The independent variables include a vector of productivity related characteristics and other appropriate variables ("other"), and an indicator variable for the discriminating factor.
where [Epsilon] is an error term and [Gamma] is a vector of parameters.
If the estimate of [[Beta].sub.1] is negative and statistically significant, we can reject the null hypothesis of no earnings differential between the comparison group and the "plaintiff group", and conclude that the data supports the hypothesis of discrimination in earnings against the plaintiff group.
For the purposes of our discussion, assume that plaintiffs have brought charges of race and gender discrimination in earnings against their employer. Although the analysis can easily be extended to cases involving more than two race categories, for the sake of simplicity, assume that there are only whites and African-Americans (AA) present.
In most of such discrimination plus cases referred to earlier, the general methodology--not always statistical--used by the courts so far to test for discrimination has been first to test for discrimination arising from one factor and then to test for discrimination arising from the other factor.

No, it doesn't rain all the time in Britain! But when it does, it's good to know there's loads to do. From balmy tropical glasshouses to luxurious spas and remarkable art and architecture, there's great fun to be had whatever the weather. Stately Homes and Castles Stay dry in some of the oldest houses and fortresses in the world. Explore classic fairytale castles like the Tower of London with nearly 1,000 years of bloody history, imposing Edinburgh Castle or Cardiff Castle with its sumptuous interiors.
If stately homes are more your thing, head to Pride and Prejudice star Chatsworth House or Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill. Don't miss the newly restored Royal Palace at Stirling Castle in Scotland, a stunning glimpse into the luxurious life of King James V. You can find more information on British stately homes and castles on the National Trust Website. Theatre matinees Take in a play at one of Britain's top theatres. Many have special deals for matinee performances in the daytime and it's the perfect way to escape the rain. Try Manchester's Royal Exchange, Birmingham's Rep or see some Shakespeare in his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. In London you can get cheap deals on tickets from the tkts booth in Leicester Square.

Q: Jinja complex if statement not working properly I am working on using if statements in Jinja. This if statement is designed to see if a dictionary object is equal to another object in the same string value. The code runs flawlessly in an separate python file. An example is listed below and thanks for any help in advance!
Runs perfectly:
dictionary = {'test': '3/3'}

if int(dictionary['test'].split('/')[0]) == int(dictionary['test'].split('/')[1]):
    print('true')
else:
    print('no')

Does not run and crashes the server: (item is a variable accessible to the program)
{% elif int(dictionary[item].split('/')[0]) == int(dictionary[item].split('/')[1]) %}

A: If I'm right, the error is thrown because the function int is not known. You can use the jinja filter int to convert the variables to integers. The statement would then read as follows.
{% elif (dictionary[item].split('/')[0]|int) == (dictionary[item].split('/')[1]|int) %}

Q: Variadic variable initialization for variadic template I have a templated class A in which I want to call a templated function from another class B
the header looks like :
template<typename... T> class A
{
public:
    A();
    void get(type_X params);
private:
    B b_;
};

and the .hxx :
template<typename... T> void A<T...>::get(type_X params)
{
    /*here lies my problem*/
    T... variable; // just like we would do string s;
                   // and pass it to a function f(string& s) to assign it
    b_.get(params, variable...);
    /* do something with updated value of variable */
}

where member b_ (class B) has a templated function get which looks like
template<typename... T> int B<T...>::get(type_X params, const T&... variable)
{
    /* change variable, just like we would assign a new value to a string& */
    return 0;
}

And I have no idea how to initialize (if possible) my "T..." object to be given as argument to templated function B::get.
Thanks for your help

A: First off, the indices machinery to create a pack of integral indices at compile time:
template< std::size_t... Ns >
struct indices {
    typedef indices< Ns..., sizeof...( Ns ) > next;
};

template< std::size_t N >
struct make_indices {
    typedef typename make_indices< N - 1 >::type::next type;
};

template<>
struct make_indices< 0 > {
    typedef indices<> type;
};

Now, you can create an array of objects:
T vars[] = { T()... };

Next, you need a helper function to create a context where you can deduce the pack of integers. Something like this:
template<typename... T, T, size_t... I>
int helper(type_X params, T* arr, indices<I...>)
{
    return b_.get(params, arr[I]...);
}

For arr parameter you'd pass the array vars you created previously and for the last one you pass make_indices<sizeof...(T)>::type().
Hope that helps.

A: First off, this is invalid syntax:
T... variable;

To do something like this, you need to create a tuple:
std::tuple<T...> variable;

And then you use one of the techniques to call a function with the tuple members as parameters:
"unpacking" a tuple to call a matching function pointer
Pass tuple's content as variadic function arguments
How do I expand a tuple into variadic template function's arguments?

A: Following may help you:
#if 1 // Not in C++11
// Helper class to be able to use expansion of std::get<Index>(tuple)
template <int... Is> struct index_sequence {};

// Following create index_sequence<0, 1, 2, .., sizeof...(Is) - 1>
template <int Index, int... Is>
struct make_index_sequence { // recursively build a sequence of indices
    typedef typename make_index_sequence<Index - 1, Index -1, Is...>::type type;
};

template <int... Is>
struct make_index_sequence<0, Is...> { // stop the recursion when 0 is reached
    typedef index_sequence<Is...> type;
};
#endif

template<typename... Ts> class A
{
public:
    void get(type_X params)
    {
        std::tuple<Ts...> t;
        a.get(params, t, make_index_sequence<sizeof...(Ts)>());
    }
private:
    template<std::size_t ... Is>
    void get(type_X params, std::tuple<Ts...>& t, index_sequence<Is...>)
    {
        b_.get(params, std::get<Is>(t)...);
    }

private:
    B b_;
};

Doctoral candidate Yan Chen wants to improve the world. She doesn't say this directly, but her five years of research on catalytic surfaces for use in high-temperature fuel cells say it for her. Her work has the potential to create efficient new energy solutions to help curb the world's appetite for carbon-based fuels.
"My objective is to contribute to building an energy landscape including more renewable and clean resources, which is just what is needed the most in China right now," says Chen, who decided to study nuclear science and engineering because it offers one solution to her native country's energy needs: China is ramping up its clean energy industry, and she hopes her research will contribute.
Earlier this year, Chen received the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad. In April, she was named a Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future postdoctoral fellow. The fellowship will allow her to continue her research at MIT after her graduation in June.
Electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems, such as fuel cells, will play an essential role in integrating new energy sources like nuclear, solar, and wind, Chen says, but their implementation requires new materials to make them cheaper and more efficient.
Fuel cells produce electricity from hydrogen or hydrocarbon fuels through oxidation. The solid oxide fuel cells Chen studies are efficient, relatively inexpensive, and work with a number of different fuels, but they have a major disadvantage: They currently require working temperatures higher than 800 degrees Celsius.
Chen and her research advisor, associate professor Bilge Yildiz, have been experimenting with a fuel-cell cathode (one of two electrodes needed for a fuel cell) that shows remarkable catalytic capability. It is a heterostructure composed of two oxides with different crystal structures. In order to understand how it works, Chen and Yildiz designed a laminate model system and sliced through it at a dramatic angle, exposing relatively large sections of the interfaces exposed during catalysis. They discovered that the two oxides were sharing their best qualities: One is a superb electron source, and the other exchanges oxygen quickly; the layers' proximity creates a symbiosis where one borrows electrons from the other, increasing the material's overall catalytic function.
Chen has long been interested in the physical nature of materials. She began excelling in physics during high school, and won the Physics Olympics for Guizhou province, an honor that brought automatic admission — a year early — to Peking University. This was especially good, she says half-jokingly, because she didn't have to take the entrance exams.
At Peking University — a 32-hour train ride from her hometown — she earned bachelor's degrees in both physics and statistics, then began her physics research in earnest as a master's student, bombarding materials with ions to see the effect on their surface properties.
Chen came to MIT for doctoral study in 2009. "The pressure is greater than at some other universities, but the people here take care of each other," she says. She was a member of the 2012 MIT women's table tennis team, which qualified for the national championship tournament in Dallas. "We were 11th out of 12 teams, so at least we beat one team at the championships," she says modestly.
But Chen's primary focus, of course, has been her studies and her research in Yildiz's lab, where she helped design experimental systems for fuel-cell research. One such system involves a scanning tunneling microscope encased in an ultrahigh-vacuum chamber that allows Chen to see the ephemeral changes in a material's surface properties at very high temperatures in an oxygen-rich environment. The real-time experiments she designed were essential; once the material cools down, the surface properties go back to their original state.
This and other findings from Chen's thesis projects are helping engineers design new high-performance electrodes for fuel cells that operate at reduced temperatures, an essential step toward her goal of creating new clean-energy solutions for the 21st century.

When: October 5, 2015 | 9:00 a.m — 5:30 p.m.
To inform a committee that is planning an international summit on human gene editing, taking place this December in Washington, DC, the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine are holding a meeting on Oct. 5 to provide the committee with an overview of the state of the science of human gene editing. Invited experts will discuss human gene-editing technologies, their efficiency, utility, and measurement of unintended events, the historical context of embryo and gene manipulation, approaches to treat and prevent genetic diseases, and China's contributions to gene editing research. The ethics and governance aspects of human gene editing will not be the focus of this meeting, although they will be significant topics at the international summit in December.
This meeting is open to the public. For those not able to attend in person, a live webcast will be available via nationalacademies.org.


Casablanca is found on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco to the south of the capital Rabat and is the city famous for its cross over style of Moroccan and European culture. A city of which boasts a population of over 3,200,000 people.
The sand beaches of Casablanca stretch 28 kilometres to the north and are a fun place to hang out, with the city life behind. The feeling is of a Californian boulevard is found on Boulevard Hansali with the skate boards, and walkers filling the large sidewalk.
In the evenings the famous Corniche is the area preferred by those looking for the nightlife, with its beaches and swimming pools, its fashionable bars, restaurants and hotels giving it a cultural mix of Morocco and France.
The foundations of the commercial centre of Morocco were made as a Berber fishing village before it was invaded by the Portuguese who renamed the village Casa Branca (White House) and built fortifications to keep the local population under their control.
An act of nature coming as a large earth quake, completely destroyed the city in 1770 and with it the hold of the Portuguese over the Berber population. Towards the end of that century Sultan Sidi Muhammad started to rebuild before the Spanish invaders again took the control of the city walls. From this time with the increased commercial traffic, Casablanca grew at an astounding rate; by the beginning of 1860 the population was 8.000 inhabitants, by 1907 it had risen to 20,000.
With the arrival of the French in 1912 the expansion was continuing, by 1930 over 100,000 people were housed in the city and it took until 1956 and the end of the French Protectorate before the city was again fully in Morocco's hands. The modern city of Casablanca is one of the largest cities in North Africa holding 60% of Morocco's companies giving it the undisputed crown as the commercial centre of Morocco.
The mix of traditional Moroccan architecture and ultra-sophisticated technology was built by over 3300 craftsmen and includes a retractable roof, which opens up the prayer hall to the heavens for over 25,000 people.
The height of the minaret (200 metres) makes it the tallest in the world and can be seen as a commitment to the faith of Islam by the people of Morocco where 98.7% of the people are Muslim, 1.1% are Christian and 0.2% Jewish.
It was built by the French at the beginning of the 1900's, covering an area of 12.000 m2. This port is protected by the 3180-metre-long Moulay Youssef jetty which was constructed to create Morocco's premier port ( takes 70% of the national maritime traffic for Morocco) and the fourth largest in Africa.
The port has uses, from the naval national office to a tourist harbour, where the private cruisers can be seen off loading their customers for a few days in Casablanca and the surrounding area.

Amazing game that I've been playing for years. Enthralling, emotional, a real connection to the characters in the game, raw and gritty. Exceptional job! PLEASE make stories available on IOS! I am out of scenarios and need new fresh ones! Please!
Amazing game. I love the graphic too beautiful. Thank you for making this game it's amazing and unique then other games. Thank you love the game once again.
The language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese not "Brazilian".
It's a great game,but it crash too often.
The gameplay is too short. You guys should add new maps and make it more harsh.
The game just keeps crashing on my iPhone 6S with iOS 9.3 This was one of my favorite games, but the latest update won't even let me open the app. Please fix this.
I'm in Love with this game! And I read most of the my stories in the characters and they had like a cat or a dog in the past so I was thinking... You guys should add Pets! Pets would help you scavenge or defend while also help the little ones (if you bought it) and could make it feel more like a home while if you don't have one a person can go scavenging while they found a stray dog and you could either leave it there or bring it with you.. Just a fun request to see to boost up the game a little more but all that this game is so fun to play!
The little ones dlc crash at day 1 and I can't play it please fix this problem tnx.

The mind-body problem represents one of the most debated topics in the neurosciences. From a psychological standpoint, abstract/non-material data are an intrinsic part of the mind, intervening to a large extent in reasoning and decision making processes. Imaging studies also show a strong correlation between higher cognitive functions (such as working memory) and specific cerebral brain regions (a fronto-parietal network of interacting left and right brain areas). In contrast, the physical/material brain would be unable to interact with abstract-immaterial data, such that the psychological processing of abstract data (processes such as thinking, reasoning, and judgment) is attributed to the mind, with the mind representing a distinct entity interposed between the brain and abstract-immaterial data. Recent data suggest that the mind-body problem may simply be an artifact of human experience/ understanding, as the brain actually represents actually an intrinsic part of the mind. Even if the physical brain is not able to interact with abstract mental data, the brain still could process abstract data through a dynamic association between the abstract data and cerebral stimuli/ impulses. This form of processing without interaction defines the mind as a complex neurobiological structure, with the unconscious part of the mind processing abstract-immaterial data in a conscious/ mental format. In this overview, important concepts of psycho-physiologic emergentism, including internal mental reality, internal mental existence, internal mental interaction, and structural and informational dichotomies of the brain, are iterated. Such concepts/properties represent a neuro-informational support system capable of generating four distinct minds within the single brain. Future studies should further develop the dynamic and immaterial-material nature of the mind, as a possible premise for a scientific definition and understanding of mental events like affectivity, emotions, soul, etc.

Commentary and Review of Sonny Barger's Book Hell's Angels
Hell's Angels – The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club, Harper, 2001.
Sonny Barger, born 1938, was a founding member of the Oakland chapter of the Hell's Angels in 1957. He is the author of four books: Hell's Angels – The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club, Freedom: Credos from the Road, Dead in 5 Heartbeats, and 6 Chambers, 1 Bullet.
In 1988 he served four years in a federal prison for conspiring to blow up a rival cycle gang's clubhouse. He served his time in an Arizona prison. He eventually moved to Arizona and became an active member in a Phoenix chapter (Cave Creek) of his celebrated cycle club. True to his outlaw persona, he has supposedly been arrested over twenty times in his life.
In his autobiographical work (Hell's Angels – The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club) Barger writes how the club started and how he worked into it.
He details the strange offering of the services of the Hell's Angels to LBJ in the 1960s as a "crack group of trained guerrillas that could demoralize the Viet Cong" when used in behind-the-line duty in Vietnam.
On journalist Hunter Thompson, who wrote a 1966 book on the Angels (Hell's Angels – A Strange and Terrible Saga, Random House), "Since I liked the way he wrote, the Oakland and Frisco chapters let Hunter hangout with the club for a price – two kegs of beer. But as time went by Hunter turned out to be a real weenie and stone ____ coward . . . he was a total fake . . . as at most Angels gatherings, a fight was brewing with the cops, so Hunter jumped into the trunk of his car, pulled down the hatch, and hid. I never had too much more to say to him after that . . . when his time came, he got it. He got beat up by the Hell's Angels." On Hunter's Angels book: "It's junk."
On Ken Kesey and the Pranksters: "This was where I first got to know Neal Cassady. I loved Cassady, the only guy I ever met who could hold a conversation with five people simultaneously and not miss a beat. He was wired. I still believed he committed suicide down in Mexico with reds. Eventually, Kesey turned the Pranksters over to someone named Babs, making him the top honcho. Neal probably killed himself in a fit of depression."
On the disastrous 1969 Rolling Stones concert at Altamont: "A big fat girl was trying to get up on the stage. She was topless and probably very ___ on drugs. Some of the angels tried to stop her, and it looked to me like they were trying to get her off stage without hurting her. Keith Richards leaned over to me and said, "Man, I'm sure it doesn't take three or four great big Hell's Angels to get a bird off the stage.' I just walked over to the edge of the stage and kicked her in the head. 'How's that?' . . . Richards walked over to me after finishing a song and told me the band wasn't going to play anymore until we stopped the violence. . . I stood next to him and stuck my pistol into his side and told him to start playing his guitar or he was dead. He played like a _____."

Review comments:
Library Journal: "In this most intriguing and insightful look into the highly controversial, five-decade-old Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC), Barger chronicles the formation, history, and colorful events that have led to the mystique and outlaw image of this free-thinking organization. In 1957, Barger (a technical consultant on several biker films, including Hell's Angels on Wheels and Hell's Angels '69) formed the Oakland chapter, which would become the foundation and serve as headquarters for the entire club. . . "
Book List: "Barger, king of the chopper pilots, road variety, is an American icon, and his life story is a history of the biker lifestyle. As president of the Oakland chapter of the Hell's Angels, he has seen and survived hassles with the police, peaceniks, and the Rolling Stones, with their 'prissy clothes and makeup' –all of which he recounts. He notes fine points, such as the fact that it was Emmett Grogan, of the radical egalitarian Diggers, who suggested that the Angels work security at the Stones' ill-fated free show at Altamont, California. He nonchalantly admits to criminal acts, such as pulling a gun on Keith Richards onstage. . . "

Freeman to compete in National Junior Olympics
By KAYLA CAMENZIND Published: July 18, 2014
Comment Email Print
The fourteen-year-old and soon to be freshman in high school qualified in two events, the 100 hurdles and the discus. At the Junior Olympic meet, 10,000 athletes between the ages of seven and 18 will compete in six two-year age divisions.
A star track athlete during the junior high regular season, High School Track Coach Mike Tully encouraged her to sign up for the Junior Olympics. Her mom and Junior High Tract Coach, Breanna Freeman, decided to register her after realizing that if she threw her best discus throw in the Junior Olympics, she would have won last year's competition.
Freeman broke the junior high track records for discus and the 100 hurdles at Raymond and was undefeated in the Pacific County Junior High League. She has already broken the high school record for the discus, throwing 132' 5", but she will have to break it again next year when she enters high school to actually hold the record. This PR places her in first place for middle school athletes in the United States, according to athletic.net, a database that track and field track athletes' results.
At the qualifying meet in Kent June 21 and 22, Freeman placed first in both the discus and the 100 hurdles. She placed first in discus and second in the 100 hurdles, with a PR of 15.84, at the regional meet in Spokane July 5 and 6.
Also a star in the classroom, Freeman finished eighth grade with a 3.6 grade point average.
Her family has been raising money to fund her participation in the competition through bake sales, car washes, a raffle, and selling sack lunches to Weyerhaeuser employees. They would like to thank the community for the overwhelming support.

Porém, ao rodar no navegador, apenas o elemento  é exibido, não importando o tamanho da página, verifiquei as url's e estão todas corretas, porém, não funcionam, testei nas versões atuais do firefox e chrome. Por que este erro ocorre, e como posso corrigí-lo?

A: Você escreveu o conteúdo do atributo MEDIA duas vezes, isso confunde o funcionamento:
min-width:min-width:1440px

Correto:
min-width: 1440px

Acredito que o atributo MEDIA funcione igualmente CSS3, então segue o mesmo padrão pra entender páginas responsivas e a TAG IMG é caso nenhum deste possa ser carregado ou o navegador não suporte essa TAG.
Observação sobre método alternativo:
Fonte: Tag  não funciona em celulares e IE11

Se quiser usar mma alternativa é o uso dos atributos srcset e sizes direto na tag img, onde é possível especificar diferentes imagens para diferentes resoluções. Segundo o Can I use..., o recurso já é amplamente suportado (http://caniuse.com/#feat=srcset).
Exemplo:

No srcset, você especifica o endereço da imagem e logo após a largurda dela em pixels (1280w). No atributo sizes, é indicado ao browser os breakpoints usando uma media querie e o tamanho que a imagem será exibida.
O tamanho (max-width: 500px) 250px, 500px diz ao browser "se a viewport for menor que 500px, a imagem terá 250px de largura. Se maior, a imagem será exibida com 500px de largura. O browser vai escolher qual daquelas imagens melhor se encaixa a essa situação.

It was a pleasure this past week to speak for a great program: Way More Israel.
Way More Israel is a project of The Heritage House: an amazing organization begun by Rabbi Meir Schuster ZT"L.
The talk focused on the role of supporting our fellow Jews in spite of the superficial differences between us.


As he drinks Sino-coffee for around RMB 10, Comrade X might well be wearing the latest 'ZARE' couture while watching the TV news streaming on his HiPhone. Back in Guangdong, his girlfriend — a sales consultant at a small stall in one of Shenzhen's many wholesale electronics markets — sports a 'high-end replica' 高仿 Louis Vuitton bag and makes a living selling 'domestically produced' 国产 and 'smuggled' 水货 smartphones. The imitation products that festoon the couple's lives are part of 'shanzhai 山寨 China'.
Shanzhai, the word means roughly 'mass-produced imitation goods', has created a Chinese landscape that is littered with products derided by the media, Chinese and international, as 'copycat', 'guerrilla counterfeits' and 'knockoffs', all the work of thieves. Those who feel that their intellectual property and copyright has been infringed by shanzhai producers describe the products as 'rubbish', 'piracy in disguise' and 'hooligan'. Regardless of such righteous outrage, shanzhai — the producers, the products and the mentality — continues to flourish as an essential, quasi-legitimate shadow dimension of the Chinese economy. And, in practical terms, shanzhai products give disenfranchised 'non-consumers' of the orthodox economy — that is, people who would like to own but can't afford the 'original' products — cut-price access to high-end technologies, as well as offering aspirational shoppers consumer satisfaction.

Until this year, Carol Travis had attended every Council 2 biennial convention since 1985. That's 14 conventions covering 28 years — without interruption.
But she broke this impressive record when she was unable to attend the convention held in Spokane in June. That would be the convention at which she was presented with the prestigious Mary Hersey Award.
True, she had a good reason for not attending this year's convention. After all, she had retired from her position in the business office at Prosser Memorial Hospital and therefore from the executive board of Council 2, in October. And she needed to attend her son's wedding in Virginia taking place at the same time as the convention.
That note — which Bingman also read at the general session of the convention — pretty well sums up Travis's approach to the union to which she has devoted so many hours and so much time away from family over the years (she says her husband and children were really understanding) .
Travis demonstrated this approach over the three decades during which she served several terms as vice-president and president of Local 874-H, having also been elected to the local's executive board and on the state executive board.
Travis attributes her approach to the "middle-child syndrome." "Because I am a middle child, I grew up to be a peacemaker," she adds.
Her drive to be fair was tested when the Great Recession forced management to seek concessions from the union.
"We would vote to defer pay raises for ourselves in order to prevent some of our members being laid off," she explains.
"That seems fair; I would rather see other people being able to keep their job or even to keep the hospital open than insist that I should get my full pay.
"I am a kind-hearted person.
Says Council 2 Staff Representative Kevin Dougherty, who represents the area in which Prosser falls, "Carol has always impressed me with her involvement in union activities and her leadership.
"As a local president, she was fearless with management.


Translating research findings into viable commercial applications plays a key role in solving societal problems. The Helmholtz Association therefore supports projects that are particularly promising in this regard through the Helmholtz Validation Fund (HVF).
It chose seven projects overall in the two rounds of applications held this year. These projects will receive a total of €9.1 million in funding through 2019. "Through the Helmholtz Validation Fund we provide our researchers with important assistance in developing their research findings into market-ready innovations," says Otmar Wiestler, president of the Helmholtz Association.
Among the seven projects chosen for funding this year is a project from the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin. Armin Rehm and Uta Höpken are using CAR T-cell therapy to develop a gene therapeutic agent for multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer previously considered incurable, as well as for mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. This involves taking T-cells from patients and equipping them with an artificial immune receptor, the so-called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The modified immune cells are then infused back into the patients. With the help of the receptor, therapeutic T-cells recognize certain features (cancer antigens) on the surface of tumor cells and then attack and kill these cells. The aim of the treatment is to halt the spread of blood cancer and cure the patient.

A jewel on the Caribbean coast, the Yucatan showcases the very best in culture, cuisine, and history. Taste a delicious array of flavours while recharging from an invigorating day of exploring Mayan temples. Dip your toes into the turquoise waters of the Caribbean as you stroll from the sandy shores of Mexico to the coral reefs of Belize. Learn about ancient Mesoamerican cultures by day while discovering a world famous hospitality and meeting friendly locals by night. Our Yucatan tours start in Mexico and end in Belize, and are a match made in heaven for those who like an equal blend of history, scenery, and friendly interactions.
Our Yucatan tour hits the ground running with a guided tour of Chichen Itza within the first tour day. It's a wonderful archaeological site incorporating the ruins of two different cultures, the ancient Maya and the later arriving Toltecs. The Maya originated in the Yucatan as early as 2600 BC but really thrived around 250 BC. Their empire stretched throughout Central America, from Mexico to present day Guatemala, western Honduras, El Salvador, and northern Belize, and we're pleased to take in several small private tours around some of the most prominent and important sites within the area.
Our tour will visits a wide range of monuments from the Maya. At Chichen Itza, we explore the Temple of the Warriors and the ball courts. At Uxmal, a city the Maya abandoned and returned to again and again over the course of their civilization, we'll journey to the Palace of the Governor which is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Maya structures in Central America with 20,000 hand cut stones being set into acres of geometric friezes.
Whether walking or biking, it is hard to comprehend just how massive the site of Coba is, a ruined city that holds the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan. In Tulum, marvel at the cliff-side temples while gazing into an impossibly blue waters that lap at the white sandy shores. More than just temples, a visit the port town of Chetumal displays the Mayan dominance on trade for goods such as cacao, gold, and copper. We wrap up our Mayan experience up with a visit to Belize's Lamanai, a ceremonial capital for the Maya that dates back to 1500 BC.
More than just the Maya, this tour showcases a beautiful landscape with rich biodiversity. Crystal clear rivers lined with hardwood trees, orchids, and bromeliads. Palm fringed beaches that are postcard perfect. Inland waterways that are a resting point for thousands of migrating birds such as kites, tiger-herons, snowy egrets, ospreys and the rare Jabiru stork.
Yucatan tours are a truly insightful look into one of Central America's most important indigenous cultures, and a way to gain a personal perspective on one of the world's most exciting destinations.
Today we arrive in Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula.
Today we travel to Chichen Itza. This is a wonderful archaeological site incorporating the ruins of two different cultures, the ancient Maya and the later arriving Toltecs. The substantial fusion of highland central Mexican and Puuc architecture make Chichen Itza unique. The El Castrillo, the temple of Panels and the Platform of Venus are superb architectural feats.
The most impressive monuments here are the Temple of the Warriors, the group of a thousand columns, the Temple of Kukulcan, the Temple of Chac-Mool and the Ball Court. The Toltecs interest in astronomy and mathematics is evident with a visit to the Astronomical Observatory, perhaps one of the most impressive revelations is the phenomenon occurring during equinoxes, when shadows cast across the ramp of the castle appear to form the shape of a slithering serpent.
Tonight we include a visit to the Sound and Light show.
Today we drive to Merida, probably the most beautiful town in the Yucatan peninsula. We find that the most enjoyable way to sightsee is from a calesa, or horse drawn carriage. We include a half-day's sightseeing in this most elegant of fashions. During the nineteenth century, European traders flocked to the bustling city to exchange their luxuries for the area's much sought after sisal hemp. The state capital's many buildings and the Moorish and rococo-style mansions of the Paseo Montejo reflect the strong Old World influences.
Uxmal is a stunning place. Uxmal was one of the sites to which the Maya returned again and again in the course of their civilization. The name means 'thrice built'. The Palace of the Governor at Uxmal is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Maya structures in Central America. Here some 20,000 hand cut stones have been set into acres of geometric friezes. The nunnery is the quadrangle where vestals allegedly spent a licentious final year of worldly pleasure before their sacrifice to appease the rain god Chac. This truly is a step back into the years of the Maya glory (AD 7-10). The Palace of Large Masks with its magnificent stone mosaics and representations of the ubiquitous rain god.
We also visit the nearby smaller sites of Kabah and Labna. Kabah is the most notable for its Palace of the Masks, the facade of which is covered with innumerable carved masks of the rain god Chac. Labna is another beautiful site. It is famous for its fine sculpture and its arch, this was one of the most ornate built by the Maya.
Today we depart Uxmal for Coba. The morning's drive takes us through Valladolid where we stop for our lunch break. The peaceful Zocalo in the heart of Valladolid is shaded by large trees and surrounded by a variety of restaurants.
We continue on to Coba, one of the grandest Mayan city-states, and have a tour of this impressive site immediately upon arrival. As a large trading center, Coba was connected to other Mayan cities by an elaborate network of roads known as "sacbes". The ancient temples are still surrounded by the thick Yucatan jungle which adds a lot of natural flavour to a rich cultural experience.
After our guided tour you may choose to rent a mountain bike available at the site. A bike is the quickest way to reach some of the most remote parts of this enormous ruined city that once rivalled Tikal in size. Because our hotel is so close to the site you may choose to stay in the site and climb up Nocoh Muh -- the tallest pyramid in the Yucatan. Watching the sun set from the top of this Mayan pyramid over an endless stretch of forests is truly one of Mexico's most magical experiences.
In order to beat the crowds, we depart early today for Tulum, one of the most beautiful Maya sites, perched high on the cliffs above the Caribbean. Tulum means "wall" in Maya. The most impressive site at this area is the large Pyramid on the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea. A wide staircase leads to a two-chamber temple on the top. Two serpent columns divide the entrance and above the middle entrance is a carved figure of the Diving God. The sight at the top of the pyramid is stunning with a breathtaking view of the ocean and surrounding jungle. You will have free time to explore this site on your own. Tulum was once considered to be as grand as Sevilla in its day (ca. 1500).
Our journey continues on to Chetumal travelling along the edges of the Sain Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a vital preserve for the rich flora and fuana of the region. Chetumal, the capital of the state of Quintana Roo was once a Mayan port for shipping gold, feathers, cacao and copper from this region and Guatemala to northern Yucatan. The town's name is derived from the Mayan Chactemal, meaning "Where the Red Trees Grow." The trees referred to were once used to produce a red dye for use in weaving.
We visit the Museum of Mayan Culture, where we learn how the Mayans were the dominant culture in the area for over 100 years. The museums highlights aspects of Mayan society, mathematics, cosmology and astronomy.
After crossing the border into Belize we have an excursion to Cerro Maya. We leave Corozal aboard a small boat and travel across the bay to Los Cerros, one of the oldest commercial sites dating back to 400 BC.
Today we travel south via the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a large reserve covering inland waterways, logwood swamps, and lagoons. It is ideally located as a resting point for thousands of migrating birds such as kites, tiger-herons, snowy egrets and ospreys. The reserve's most famous visitor is the rare Jabiru Stork, the largest flying bird in the New World with a wing span of 2.5 m/8 ft.
We will also stop at Altun Ha, an important ancient trading centre as well as a religious ceremonial centre. We see a concentration of structures including plazas surrounded by palaces and temples. Over 300 jade pieces have been discovered including the largest Mayan jade carving, Kinich Ahau, the sun god, found in the Temple of the Green Tomb.
Today we explore one of the many temples or palaces of Lamanai.
Travelling via the Northern Highway, we pass through rural villages and lowlands to Tower Hill, where we board a riverboat and head up the New River. While traversing the many little creeks and lagoons, it is easy to encounter birdlife including hawks, kites and falcons. Dainty Jacanas lightly walk on the lily pads while the elusive crocodiles bask in the morning sunlight. The river is lined with hardwood trees with lots of orchids and bromeliads. At the entrance to the New River Lagoon, the ruins of Lamanai (Mayan for submerged crocodile) rise into view.
Once at the site we tour the small museum which features many ancient relics found at Lamanai.
This ancient archaeological site reveals a civilization that is known to have occupied Belize as far back as 1500 BC. Among the most spectacular of these archeological wonders is the ruins of one of the Maya's largest ceremonial centers and home to several large temples located on the banks of the New River Lagoon. The Lamanai Archeological Reserve also contains a museum, the remnants of two 16th century Spanish churches and a colonial sugar mill from 1860.
We then return to the river boat for cruise back to Tower Hill and continuation tour bus drive to Belize City.
Early this morning we visit the world famous Belize Zoo. A highlight of any visit to this little country, the zoo allows us not only to see some of the rare creatures of Central America but the zoo is actively involved in conserving habitat for these species and part of our entrance fees go towards ensuring that the wild relatives of these now caged animals can live free.
We continue to Belize City to connect with our 45 min water taxi to Cay Caulker.
On early British maps the island's name is spelled "Cay Corker." Known historically for its plentiful supply of exposed fresh water at La Aguada, one theory holds that this island was a favourite stop for sailors to replenish and cork water bottles. The Spanish name of the island is Cayo Hicaco, which means "the island of the cocoplum." "Caye Caulker" could be an anglicized pronunciation of Cayo Hicaco. Another theory is that boats were caulked in the protected bay, La Ensenada, on the western side of the island leading to the "Caulker" name.
Despite the growth of tourism, Caye Caulker remains a small village with a distinct cultural flavour not necessarily found in large-scale tourist development. Almost all the businesses are locally owned, vehicles larger than golf carts almost never roam the streets, and lodging is small scale compared to many other tourist destinations, including neighbouring Ambergris Cay.
Today is at leisure to enjoy the barrier reef, located just off shore, or to just sit and relax in the tiny island's legendary tropical atmosphere and friendliness. Your Tour Leader can you help you plan your day.
Today we fly to Belize City to connect with our onward flights. Departure from Belize City.
LAND ONLY CLIENTS: Your flight out of Belize City, the tour end point, should take into account the trip from Cay Caulker. Those with morning flights may have to overnight in Belize City at an extra cost.

How the Sanford PD repaired its community relations after the Trayvon Martin case
"We became famous over an incident that was not police-related but got world-wide recognition"
Before the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman incident developed in Sanford, Florida, the Sanford Police Department was just a normal agency engaging in its daily public safety functions.
"We were nobody. We became famous over an incident that was not police-related but got world-wide recognition," said Deputy Chief Darren Scott.
Prior to the current chief, Cecil Smith, arriving in Sanford to take over the leadership role around a year after the Zimmerman incident, he was aware of tales about how the Sanford PD was dysfunctional, had a lack of support from the community and was under a constant reorganization. After serving 25 years in the Elgin, Illinois Police Department, Smith retired as deputy chief, and he was no novice to police work. He had a reputation for being progressive and open-minded with the ability to listen to people.

Zimmerman/Martin case: Exclusive interview with former Sanford police chief and captain
12 traits of effective police leaders
Where do police-community relations stand in 2016?
How a Citizens' Police Academy can help improve community relations
Smith was aware that in a three-year period, there were five different department heads that attempted to run the Sanford PD. In addition, he had heard about the racial divide inside the department as well as in the community. He also knew there was a disconnect between the department, the community and city hall. Officers reportedly felt brow beaten and had given up in submission.
"It was a little interesting coming into the agency, " Smith said.
Before Smith made a decision to go out into the Sanford community, he knew he had to meet and listen to his officers.
"I met every single individual in the police department individually," he said. With his arrival, there were new officers who were excited and older, tenured officers who felt they never had a voice.
"One of the first things we needed to do was break up cliques," Smith said. He reassigned people in order to increase department efficiency. He also gave officers an opportunity to express their concerns to the chief and command staff.
Internal support and changes
Smith was keenly aware that he needed support; thus, he made Captain Darren Scott his second in command and promoted him to deputy chief. Scott had been there during the Zimmerman incident and understood what had transpired. Tony Aimondo became his strong number three man and currently serves as a captain.
"We made the changes within the organization," Smith said. He ensured there was an open line of communication. He made it clear that he has an open door policy and that officers could come and talk to him about their concerns. "They actually came," he said.
In addition, Smith hired a professional public information officer, a former English teacher turned cop. They began rebranding the department, which was seen negatively, from an autocratic organization to a democratic one, according to Smith. He held monthly meetings at which time officers could discuss their concerns with command staff.
"We had to rebuild the organization. We had to rebuild the integrity and trust," Smith said.
Rebuilding community trust
Next, the police department put boots on the ground and went out into the community. Smith, who had a background of robust community policing, knew the importance of doing "walk and talks" which involved officers, the mayor, the city manager and department heads walking into communities, knocking on doors and talking with residents. The first time they did so was in the middle of a rain storm.
Residents were surprised to see the officers out in their communities knocking on doors in inclement weather.
"We did this a year straight. We did it every week, once a week for the first year. We were on a mission to sell ourselves. The community engages more so now than before. Now, we get tips on crime and solve more crime. The community trusts us more," Scott said.
The Zimmerman trial had not taken place yet.
"We tried to explain this was not a police matter. George Zimmerman acted on his own. He was arrested and charged. He was released," Smith said. They explained if residents were angry, they should not be angry with the police, but with the State's Attorney who made the decision.
When they started, the officers learned the black community was angry with city hall. The first four to six meetings, they incorporated department heads such as the Director of Public Works, Planning, Streets and Sanitation, among others, who also went out into the community with the police. Thus, residents became acquainted with who they were and rather than be angry with the police about every community aspect, they could go to the directors of the various departments directly to voice their specific concerns.
In addition, the police helped educate the community with use of the pastors. The police taught the pastors what occurs in the department and courts so that they could understand the jargon and explain the situation to others. There was a rotation of pastors from jury selection to trials. They were also trained on Fair and Impartial policing.
In 2012, more than 20,000 people showed up in Sanford for a march for peace and justice. Protest areas were set up where people could congregate. The police did a great deal of information sharing.
"We were on the forefront of being as transparent as we could be," Smith said.
In addition, social media was utilized to put out information, both good and bad.
"We are very vested into social media feeds," Smith said. The police integrated into the schools, attended meetings of the NAACP, ACLU, and various mentoring programs. The department created a community relations unit that had focused teams that concentrated in various sectors. The department hired Asian, Hispanic and Muslim officers.
The department began to utilize body cameras for transparency and to protect the officers. The department consists of 132 officers, and every officer on the street has a body camera. Moreover, Sanford was the first agency in central Florida to go through Fair and Impartial policing, and every officer has been trained on it.
"We have done a lot of things that are unique. I allow my guys to come up with ideas and allow them autonomy to go out and do things. Before, everything was from the top down. Now, it is from down to up," Scott said. "There is a paradigm shift in law enforcement now. We cannot police the same way as we did 15 years ago. Administrators need to realize this and adapt to this. We just have to change with the environment. If we don't we will operate behind the curve. The officer makes the badge. The badge does not make the officer. Always treat people the way you want to be treated."
Sanford has demonstrated a major transformation in light of the events that occurred in its jurisdiction. Despite the fact that the incident was not a police matter, the police department can be proud of the way the men and women who were there during the incident handled the reaction from the community and carried themselves. For those who remain in the department from that time, they can share information and provide insight on what to do and what no to do to be better in doing their jobs.
"We all got through this together," Scott said. And, together, they have shown how far they have come.

Inspired by the flavours of a spanikopita – spinach, feta, herbs and pine nuts - this lamb is delicious and ideal for a special occasion. Do allow the resting time as suggested to ensure it is both tender to cut and the slices remain whole when carved.
Defrost the spinach if frozen and place between two dinner plates. Squeeze the plates over a sink and allow excess moisture to fall away. Press as firmly as possible as you want the spinach to be as dry as possible. If using fresh spinach, wash the leaves, remove the stalks and cook the leaves in a saucepan with only the water that clings to the leaves until wilted. Drain and chop finely.
Mix the spinach together with the spring onions, parsley, dill, feta and parmesan cheeses and pine nuts. Season well with pepper.
Using skewers, secure the opening of the boned leg of lamb at the knuckle end. Pack the filling into the cavity where the bone has been removed. Use skewers and or string to secure the opening at the top of the leg of lamb to ensure the filling is well-enclosed.
Brown the lamb as well as possible in a dash of oil in a hot frying pan. Transfer to the slow cooker.
Scatter in the onion and garlic and pour in the wine and olive oil. Season with pepper and salt and cover with the lid. Cook on low for 5-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Carefully remove the lamb from the slow cooker. Scatter in the chick peas, parsley, olives and lemon rind and stir to mix. Cover and cook on high for a further 30 minutes while the lamb is resting.
