Oslo Accords
Peace Process: Still Dead
By Gwynne Dyer ⋅ January 17, 2018 ⋅ Post a comment
Like other U.S. presidents before him, Donald Trump invited the current Palestinian leader to the White House and told him that there was a "very good chance" of a peace settlement between Israel and a soon-to-be-independent state called Palestine.
The current Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, did not break with tradition either. Like his predecessor Yasser Arafat (who visited the White Hours 24 times during Bill Clinton's two terms as president), Abbas concluded his visit on Wednesday with an optimistic remark: "Now, Mr. President, with you we have hope." But the "peace process" is still dead.
It has been dead for 22 years now, ever since the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli prime minister who signed the Oslo Accords in 1993. That was the peace deal that enshrined the "two-state solution", with Israeli and Palestinian states living side-by-side in peace, as the agreed goal of the peace talks. But the Jewish fanatic who murdered Rabin in 1995 for promising the Palestinians a state killed the Oslo Accords, too.
During the election that followed to replace Rabin, the radical Hamas movement, which opposed any compromise peace between the Palestinians and Israelis, launched a massive terrorist campaign inside Israel. Its purpose was to drive Israeli voters into the arms of the right-wing Likud party, which also opposed the peace deal. It succeeded.
The winner of the 1996 election was Binyamin Netanyahu, and he has been prime minister for more than half the time since then. Only once, in a single speech at Bar-Ilan University in 2009, has he publicly accepted the principle of a demilitarized but independent Palestinian state in at least some of the territories conquered by Israel in 1967. But that was just to please the United States; he didn't actually mean it.
During the last Israeli election campaign in 2015, an interviewer from the Israeli news site NRG asked Netanyahu if it was true that a Palestinian nation would never be formed while he is prime minister. "Bibi" (as he is known in Israel) replied simply: "Indeed."
Bibi is generally more cautious than that, communicating his true views on the "two-state solution" to the Israeli public by nods and winks. He needs to reassure the Israelis who vote for him that it will never happen, but too much frankness annoys Washington, which prefers to pretend that somehow, some time, a Palestinian state is still possible.
The ministers who populate Netanyahu's cabinet are not under the same pressure to go along with the pretense, because most of what they say stays in Hebrew. British journalist Mehdi Hasan recently collected some of their more revealing remarks, like Interior Minister Silvan Shalom's speech to a meeting of Likud party activists in 2012: "We are all against a Palestinian state, there is no question about it."
Or Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel, who said in 2013: "We need to state clearly that there won't be a Palestinian state west of the Jordan river." Or frankest of all, Science and Technology Minister Danny Danon: "Enough with the two-state solution. Land-for-peace is over. We don't want a Palestinian state."
So this umpteenth attempt to revive the corpse of the late lamented peace process is pure charade. It's something that American presidents do, mostly for domestic reasons, and Mahmoud Abbas goes along with it because he is desperately in need of some face-time with a leader who really is important. (Abbas was elected president of the Palestinian National Authority for four years in 2005, but there has been no election since.)
There's plenty of blame to go around. The main Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas withdrew its recognition of Abbas in 2009, and has since ruled the Gaza Strip, its stronghold, as a separate Palestinian proto-state. This gives the Israelis the quite reasonable excuse that there is no united Palestinian authority they can negotiate with.
The brutal truth is that the two-state solution's time is past. Israel has become so strong militarily that it is the region's dwarf superpower, so it no longer needs to trade land for peace. Many of the neighbouring Arab states, obsessed by their own much bigger security threats and civil wars, have been co-operating quietly with Israel for years now.
Israeli rule over four and a half million non-citizen Palestinians has already lasted half a century. There is no convincing reason why it cannot last for another half-century, although there is bound to be an eruption of Palestinian resistance from time to time.

The One-State Solution
By Gwynne Dyer ⋅ November 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment
"Everybody knows how this will end," wrote Nahum Barnea, one of Israel's best-known journalists, in the newspaper Yediot Aharonot recently. "There will be a bi-national (state)." The "two-state solution" for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is dead; long live the "one-state solution."
The two-state solution, promised by the Oslo Accords of 1993, was the goal of the "peace process" of the past twenty years. It envisaged the creation of a Palestinian state in the one-fifth of the former colony of Palestine that did not end up under Israeli rule after the war of 1948. That Palestinian mini-state, in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, would live alongside Israel in peace, and the long, bitter struggle over Palestine would end happily.
That Palestinian state is no longer a viable possibility, mainly because there are now half a million Jewish settlers living amongst the two million Palestinians in the West Bank and former East Jerusalem. "I do not give up on the two-state solution on ideological grounds," wrote Haaretz columnist Carlo Strenger in September. "I give up on it because it will not happen."
The greatest triumph of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, has been to make the two-state solution impossible. Both men pretended to accept the Oslo Accords in order to ward off foreign pressure on Israel, but both worked hard and successfully to sabotage them by more than tripling the number of Jewish settlers in the West Bank in only twenty years.
Now the job is done, and it is not only Israelis who can read the writing on the wall. Moderate Palestinians, never all that enthralled with the prospect of a tiny "independent" country completely surrounded by the Israeli army, are also giving up on the two-state idea. As Ahmed Qurei, who led the Palestinian delegation that negotiated the Oslo Accords, wrote recently: "We must seriously think about closing the book on the two-state solution."
So the one-state solution is creeping back onto the agenda, if only tentatively. The current Israeli government will have nothing to do with it, since endless, futile talk about an independent Palestinian state serves Netanyahu's purposes so well. But one day there will be a different government in Israel, and the Palestinians will still be there. What are the odds that the one-state solution might then get real traction?
In a sense, the single state already exists: Israel has controlled the West Bank militarily since the conquest of 1967, and until recently it occupied the Gaza Strip as well. Almost 40 percent of Israelis already support a solution that would simply incorporate the West Bank into Israel permanently.
But what would Israel do with those two million extra Palestinians who would then live within the country's expanded borders? Combine them with the million and a half Palestinians in Israel, the descendants of those who were not driven out in 1948, and there would be 3.5 million Palestinians in a one-state Israel that included almost all the land west of the Jordan River.
Add the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who will number another 2 million in five years time, and there would be 5.5 million Palestinians in Israel. That would mean there were almost as many Palestinians in Israel as there are Jews.
That unwelcome prospect is probably why Ariel Sharon unilaterally withdrew all Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip and sealed the border in 2005: if there were ever a one-state solution, he didn't want those extra two million Palestinians to be part of it. He did want to keep the West Bank, on the other hand – but even without the Gaza Strip, the one-state solution would produce an Israel whose population was more than one-third Palestinian.
This is precisely why an increasing number of Palestinians favour the one-state solution. They have tried guerilla war to get their lands and their political rights back, to no avail. They have tried terrorism, which didn't work either. They tried negotiation for twenty years, and that didn't work. So maybe the best tactic would be to change the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from an international problem to a civil rights problem.
So the Palestinians should just accept the permanent annexation of the West Bank by Israel, argue the one-staters. Indeed, they should actively seek it. They are already Israeli subjects, by every objective measure of their condition. If they become Israeli citizens instead, then the question of their status becomes a civil rights issue, to be pursued non-violently – and perhaps with a greater chance of success.
That is the logic of the pro-one-state argument among the Palestinians, and it is flawless if you assume that Palestinians would enjoy full rights of citizenship once the West Bank was legally part of Israel. But that is rather unlikely, as the status of Israel's existing Palestinian citizens already demonstrates. They are much poorer and less influential politically than their Jewish fellow-citizens.
A new public opinion poll in Israel by the Dialog polling group reveals that almost 70 percent of Israeli Jews would object to giving West Bank Palestinians the vote even if Israel annexed the territory they live in. The only alternative is an apartheid-style state where only the Jewish residents have rights, but most Israelis seem quite relaxed about that. The Palestinians are probably heading up another blind alley.
But then, all the alleys are blind.

After the "Peace Process"
By Gwynne Dyer ⋅ May 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment
The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, were supposed to lead, through a "peace process", to the final solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: two sovereign states living side by side in peace. It would have been a sulky, grumpy peace, and the Palestinians would only have got a tiny, overcrowded, impoverished and completely demilitarised country, but at least they would have had a state at last.
The "peace process", alas, actually died some time ago. It has been almost a decade since insiders really believed that it was going to end up in the "two-state solution" that was envisaged at Oslo. Now that the corpse has finally stopped twitching, it's time to consider what other roads to a permanent peace settlement remain open. If any.
Yossi Beilin, then Israel's deputy foreign minister, initiated the secret negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords 20 years ago, but now he has lost almost all hope. Last month he wrote an open letter to Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, the interim body that was supposed to morph into the government of the Palestinian state once all the details had been settled. He urged Abbas to dissolve the PA.
"No one thought the PA would be there for 20 years," he wrote. "It should have ended. So I find myself in the bizarre situation in which I am actually asking to put an end to it. But the bottom line is that, paradoxically, all those who cursed Oslo are now cherishing it."
What Beilin means is that the Oslo agreement, which was originally "a tremendous victory for the peace camps on both sides," has actually become a means by which those who oppose the creation of a Palestinian state can spin out the negotiations endlessly. It is now only "a device that has allowed the parties to block a two-state solution." And who is the main culprit on the Israeli side, in his view? Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
Yuval Diskin, the recently retired head of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, is even blunter in condemning Netanyahu. "Forget all the stories they're selling you in the media about how we want to talk but (Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas) doesn't. We're not talking with the Palestinians because this government has no interest in talking to the Palestinians."
The reason, Diskin says, is because Netanyahu fears that "even the smallest step forward on this issue (of a Palestinian state)" would cause the coalition he leads to collapse. Removing at least most of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank is a precondition for a Palestinian state, but several of the parties in Netanyahu's coalition would immediately pull out if he agreed to do that.
"Yuval Diskin is a thug," wrote columnist Nahum Barnea in Yedioth Ahronoth. "Only one thing can be said to his credit: he is telling the truth." Moreover, it is a truth that extends beyond Netanyahu's current government. It is almost impossible to construct a coalition in Israel that does not include some of those pro-settler parties, so not even a leader who actually favoured a Palestinian state could do what is necessary to achieve one.
That is the main reason why the two-state solution envisaged in the Oslo Accords is dead. Unfortunately, there aren't any good alternatives.
Ahmed Qurei, who led the Palestinian delegation that negotiated the Oslo Accords, recently wrote: "We must seriously think about closing the book on the two-state solution and turning over a new leaf." But the only alternative is the one-state solution, and that poses equally big problems for both sides.
The single state would contain all the Jews and Palestinians who now live in the lands between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea. All this land has been under Israeli control since the 1967 war, when Israel conquered the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, but almost half of the residents are Palestinians – and they have a higher birth rate than Israeli Jews.
So a single state for Israelis and Palestinians would involve either permanent Israeli military rule over a large and rapidly growing Palestinian minority, or a binational state where everybody, Jewish or Palestinian, has equal rights, including the vote. But since there are going to be more Palestinians than Jews on this land within ten years, the single state with universal suffrage would no longer be a Jewish state.
A one-state solution that does not give Palestinians equal rights, said Beilin, "means a Jewish minority dominating a Palestinian majority in a few years from now, and that is something that neither Israelis nor the world would accept." But he adds: "Is it possible to have one state in which a Palestinian will be the prime minister or president? No, Israelis will not accept that."
There are only three options: the two-state solution, permanent Israeli military rule over a Palestinian majority, or a single state that, although democratic, is no longer exclusively Jewish in character. Of the three, the least objectionable to all the people involved would be the two-state solution. Which is already dead in terms of Israeli domestic politics.

As the talk on deportation of foreign petty traders deepens, civil society organization under their Umbrella body SEATINI and Kampala City Trader's Association KACITA have called for a comprehensive national dialogue to agree on a systematic approach on how best to handle foreign investors other than using havoc methods.
Addressing a joint press conference the country director SEATINI Jane Nalunga attributed the problem of foreign investors engaging in petty trade to liberalization policies, associated with structural adjustment programs and a weak regulatory framework since they don't support the development goals.
It's on this note that Nalunga called for a comprehensive dialogue that will conclude on a regulatory framework which balances the rights and obligation of foreign investors and those of the state, citizens and environment.
Meanwhile the chairperson of KACITA Kayondo Everesto expressed the need to put in place conditions for foreign investors like restricted them to manufacturing, investing in schools, hospitals and hotels above three star grade just like it's done in other countries.
''Chinese give you their visa on condition that will not do any business in their country even if its free of charge, in Kenya where we are agreed to trade under the COMESA 30% of the investment must belong to native and you are not allowed to open up petty trade but in Uganda businesses are 100% owned by foreign investors, being transparent doesn't mean being naked." Said Kayondo.
He further attributed increased poverty rate in the country to investors pulling out money from the economy and taking to their country.
He said that often time's people focus on the growth domestic product GDP rather Growth National Products GNP which is inclusive.
"Yes it's true that our GDP has grown but the people who invest in the country take the money to their countries thus Ugandans losing out and stay poor which frustrates our GNP. It's time we put conditions to foreign investors so that country benefits at large." Kayondo added.
It should be noted that the minister of trade, industry and cooperatives Hon. Anne Amelia Kyambadde requested parliament through the parliamentary committee on tourism, trade and industry to give her up to 31st of this month to government not to validate licenses of foreigners involved in petty trade but this followed the expiry of the first ultimatum which elapsed on the 6th of this month.

In the late 1840s, explorer David Thompson wrote a journal of his travels over the past half century. He appended a summary of his career to his entry for July 14, 1811:
Thus I have completed the survey of this part of North America from sea to sea, and by almost innumerable astronomical observations have determined the positions of the mountains, lakes, and rivers, and other remarkable places on the northern part of this continent, the maps of all of which have been drawn, and laid down in geographical position, being now the work of twenty seven years.
He chose an appropriate date for his laudatory self-assessment. He had just led the first party down the entire length of the Columbia River.
Thompson was born in London in 1770. His father died when he was two, leaving his mother to raise him. At age seven Thompson entered a London charity school. There he studied mathematics, hoping to enter the British navy. The 1783 Treaty of Paris resolved the conflict among the United States, France and Britain, which resulted in the reduced need for naval recruits; therefore, the school instead apprenticed Thompson to the Hudson's Bay Company as a clerk. He left London in 1784 at the age of 14, bound for Fort Churchill on Hudson Bay. For the next three years Thompson served as a clerk at various posts on Hudson Bay. Then, in 1787 the company sent him inland to Cumberland House in what is now Saskatchewan. Thompson began to map the surrounding area in 1789 and two years later received informal training in astronomy from Phillip Torner, a Hudson's Bay Company surveyor. In 1799 Thompson married Charlotte Small. He was twenty-nine. She was the fourteen year old daughter of an Indian woman and North West Company partner. The two had thirteen children.
/media-collections/19/
From 1793 to 1796, Thompson surveyed northern Saskatchewan. In 1796, the Hudson's Bay Company asked Thompson to stop surveying and dedicate more energy to procuring furs. As his third term of service with the company expired in 1797, Thompson joined the rival North West Company. Over the next two years, he explored present day Manitoba and Saskatchewan, traveling as far south as the source of the Mississippi and the Mandan villages on the Missouri. Over the course of the next twelve years (1799-1811), Thompson explored the Rocky Mountains, establishing a new route to Lake Athabasca and two new routes over the Rocky Mountains. He also surveyed the Columbia River from its source in present day British Columbia to its mouth on the Pacific coast. Thompson had hoped to establish a fur post at the mouth of the river, securing the first navigable route between Lake Athabasca and the Pacific Ocean, but he found that John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company had already established Fort Astoria.
Thompson returned east in 1812, settling near Montreal. In 1814 he delivered a map of western Canada to the North West Company. From 1816 to 1826, Thompson served as a member of the boundary commission surveying the international border south of Ontario. In 1843, he published two additional maps of the Northwest. Between 1846 and 1850, Thompson wrote an account of his travels. He died in 1857 having covered some 80,000 miles on foot, on horseback and by canoe in sixty years of exploring and surveying.

Annuals are plants that complete their lifecycle--germinate, grow, bloom, set seed and die--within one year. Some plants that are perennials in warmer climates, where they survive from year to year, have to be grown as annuals here even though the tag says "Perennial." The advantage to annuals is that they will give you all-summer color; you can also change your plan from year to year and do something different every year if you like. The disadvantage is that you HAVE to plant them every year.

Branding The Little Club: A Lighthearted Approach to Seriously Good Wine
By Brandon Davis | Creative Director
Because so much of the brand and strategy work we do at Block Club serves professional service and nonprofit clients, a vast majority of which isn't consumer-facing, I relish the opportunity to work on consumer-facing brands—particularly restaurant and hospitality projects that people all over our city and region interact with.
Over the last few years, we've seen an influx of restaurants, bars, cafes, and hotels opening in Buffalo that are delivering at the level of quality that we had for too long only expected from larger cities. These brands are upping the ante, so to speak. No longer do we have to go to New York, Chicago, LA, etc. to experience innovative, high-quality, interesting food and drink. These brands are helping to change perceptions of Buffalo for residents and outsiders alike.
We've been fortunate to collaborate with and develop a number of brands that are leading the charge: Big Ditch Brewing Company, Tommyrotter Distillery, The Black Sheep, Public Espresso, The Grange, and Hotel Henry, just to name a few. These are hospitality businesses that are bringing world-class offerings to Buffalo.
Tommy and Mary Lombardo of Ristorante Lombardo and their team just opened a new spot that I'm certain will be yet another gamechanger for our city. While natural wines have been blowing up around the rest of the country (and the world, for that matter), they've been difficult to come by locally. For years, Tommy's been looking for the right opportunity to open a wine bar that focuses on interesting, indie winemakers practicing natural as well as traditional methods. That opportunity finally came about earlier this year. Having worked with Tommy and his father to refresh the Ristorante Lombardo brand a few years back, we were excited when Tommy approached Block Club to brand his new bar, The Little Club.
Wine can be intimidating, and that presented a challenge for the new brand: how to not alienate novices as you introduce them to lesser-known varietals, winemakers, production methods, and terminology while still managing to appeal to connoisseurs.
As we embarked on this project, Tommy and Mary understood that sharing their passion and knowledge of wine in an approachable way would be crucial, and so it was an overarching consideration in everything we created.
We worked closely with Tommy, Mary, and Candice Urban-Green of Boxcraft Studio (shout-out for their beautiful work on the interior!) to ensure nothing about The Little Club suggests that it's stuffy or takes itself too seriously. The logo features lettering with a hand touch, and we employ iridescent foils, pastel papers, and playful continuous line illustrations throughout brand collateral.

Repeat: Vassiliko Theatre, 22/10/2010
Opening: "Sfakianaki" Hall, Ormenio, Evros, 26/02/2010
1977... 2010. Thirty years since its premiere, Kehaides-Haviara's work sounds as contemporary as ever. Four men in the province try to promote their favourable candidates in the pre-election period in order to secure personal interests. Four friends get into combat, verbally and physically on the altar of power and the game, outlining their character before us. Diachronic and straightforward, the play shines like a golden mirror of Greek reality. The means of elections may have changed, but the tactic remains the same….a tactic favouring the rats of politics and serving in their interest political ethics, tactics, intrigues, conspiracies, all talk, truthful lies and false truths. Fragile friendships, blackmails and scheme plotting of the party leaders in a game of power sketch a reality that is ever-present in the course of time. A truly powerful piece of theatre, a theatre act which genetically brings us against ourselves. A Greek play with highly folk elements and sense of 'Greekness' that escapes social comedy and depicts the events that make up the absurdity of social structure with a clear Greek language as its main tool […] Giorgos Kiourtsidis

…offers excellent CAD Design / drafting / blueprints services throughout California. With a multiple generational span of acquired knowledge. Our design / builder capabilities apply a historical reliance to a seasoned experienced knowledge for having created many unique landscape environments, all over the world.
Our landscape architectural / construction background provides our clients not just the benefits of an advanced understanding for the possibilities in landscape architectural design, but also a connection to the design responsibility for incorporating such creativity into an economically "build-able" reality!
Besides our construction costs sensitivity for the applications that our understanding can provide, we also bring an attention to details, that can also keep you from experiencing the unforeseen and most unfortunate results of an incompetent oversight!
In today's advancing 3-D technological world of architecture, a superficial imagery can project many "illusionary" concepts for what is to become a finished product. A stark contrast can exist between those projections and the intention of the physical affirmation. Ultimately what will become reality will be the results of spinning clay and the creative hands of the tradespeople. Without this key component for interpretation…the imagery will only remain an illusion, no matter how effectively it is graphically expressed. The elemental layers that lie beneath the profiled prescription must exhibit not just a diagrammatic association for the physical properties but, it must also be a manual for how that architectural relevance, will come to life!
The disassociation for "accountability in design" can be a common mistake in the minds of an understudy's level to commitment. The resulting betrayal of a fundamental component of success, too often herds those seeking effective design services into the backseat of the vehicle of delivery, that ushers them down the boulevard destination of unrealized potential.
Creativity…is something divine in nature. While working with nature in that of expressing the passion for something that will evolve…great landscape architecture can represent a beginning of life! In that of seedlings, sprigs and stolons….graphs, cuttings and rooted sprouts a propagated new life begins, that otherwise would have never existed! In some small way I believe that this is a gift from the creator of the universe to mankind…and that the responsibility that starts on paper must also fit into the confines of a client's balance for the significance of it's worth. If returning estimates disable a design vision due to a client's perceived budgetary incompatibility, who has failed the process?
In producing premiere landscaping architecture take comfort in knowing that we provide our clients landscape designs and installations that can't be found anywhere else.

Remember the tragic history of the GT Advanced Tecnologies plant? Yes, where is supposed to occur the Sapphire for the new iPhone, and in the end, after many problems and debts, the plant had to be closed.
So now announces that Apple will be His largest investment within the United States, since they will invest 2 billion dollars to recover the plant located in Arizona and turning it into a global command center, where much of the world's information networks and the company's data will be handled.
During the construction referred to employ about 300 workers and more 150 full time to help with the installation of equipment to convert this plant in the first to use 100% renewable energy, cover entirely by solar panels and systems of ventilation and recycling that take advantage of the characteristics of a State like Arizona.
The investment covers a period of 30 years, but the Governor of Arizona is confident that it will be a success and that period may be extended. On the other hand, once the plant starts operations referred to hire fence of 600 people for the engineering and construction area, as more than a plant with solar farm structure is expected to be an example of how to use this type of technology without affecting the environment.
With this Apple become one of the few companies in the United States which has with more than one million workers.


In good condition (scabbard as found), a 1822/45P Victorian British Infantry Officer's Sword with unusual star studded scabbard.
We do not know what the stars on this scabbard are for. They may simply be embellishments for the blade tip grip mechanism found in this scabbard (the tip of the blade is gripped between two sprung plates, affixed to the leather section of the scabbard with star studs), they be connected with the Middlesex Regiment (their HQ used a 5 pointed star), or maybe rank, or maybe the Order od the Star of India which uses a 5 pointed star. In any event, this is a very unusual scabbard and the tip retaining mechanism is a good part of why the scabbard has issues in that area.
The 31 1/4 inch blade is in good condition, period sharpened, almost now plain (it was never fully decorated as an early tablet style block can just be made out) and firm in the hilt. The hilt very good for its age, some bending to the hilt / guard as is common for these frail brass hilted "gothic" hilts. The black fishskin grip and associated twisted grip wire bindings in very good order. The folding section of the guard works well. The leather scabbard is quite good except for the area around the stars, and has suffered from the internal blade retention mechanism.
Odd, unusual, worthy of research. Yours for £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference AB06 (0104). Further / full sized images available upon request.

Remember Khaybar!
Muslim rallies against Israel often include the chant, "Khaybar, Khaybar, Ya Yahud! Jaish Muhammad Sawfa Ya'ud!" ("Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews! The Army of Muhammad Will Return!"). Interestingly, Muhammad was poisoned at Khaybar, and he eventually died from the effects of the poison. Should Muslims be telling Jews to remember the battle that got their prophet killed?
For those who would like to read the sources cited in this video, here you go:
Sahih al-Bukhari 371—When Allah's Messenger invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there (early in the morning) when it was still dark. Allah's Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode, too, and I was riding behind Abu Talha. Allah's Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of Allah's Prophet. Then his thigh was uncovered by the shift of his Izar (waist-sheet), and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of Allah's Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, "Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned." He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, "Muhammad (has come) along with his army." We conquered Khaibar, (took the captives), and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave-girl from the captives." The Prophet said, "Go and take any slave-girl." He took Safiyya bint Huyai.
Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, 511—We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer, so he rode and we rode with him, and I rode behind Abu Talha with my foot touching the apostle's foot. We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw the apostle and the army they cried, "Muhammad with his force," and turned tail and fled. The apostle said, "Allah akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we arrive in a people's square it is a bad morning for those who have been warned." . . . The apostle seized the property piece by piece and conquered the forts one by one as he came to them. . . . The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims.
Sahih Muslim 3328—Anas reported: I was sitting behind Abu Talha on the Day of Khaibar and my feet touched the foot of Allah's Messenger, and we came (to the people of Khaibar) when the sun had risen and they had driven out their cattle, and had themselves come out with their axes, large baskets and hatchets, and they said: (Here come) Muhammad and the army. Allah's Messenger said: Khaibar is ruined. Verily when we get down in the valley of a people, evil is the morning of the warned ones (al-Qur'an, xxxvii. 177). Allah, the Majestic and the Glorious, defeated them (the inhabitants of Khaibar), and there fell to the lot of Dihya a beautiful girl, and Allah's Messenger got her in exchange of seven heads, and then entrusted her to Umm Sulaim so that she might embellish her and prepare her (for marriage) with him.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2338—Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah's Messenger had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Messenger, and the Muslims. Allah's Messenger intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah's Messenger told them, "We will let you stay on this condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e., Jews) kept on living there until Umar forced them to go towards Taima and Ariha.
Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah, 515—Kinana b. al-Rabi, who had the custody of the treasure of B. al-Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. A Jew came to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin every morning early. When the apostle said to Kinana, "Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?" he said Yes. The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked him about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, "Torture him until you extract what he has, so he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad bin Maslama and he struck off his head, in revenge for his brother Mahmud.
The History of al-Tabari, Volume 39, 185—While the Prophet was lying with Safiyyah, Abu Ayyub stayed the night at his door. When he saw the Prophet in the morning, he said, "Allahu Akbar." He had a sword with him; he said to the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah, this young woman had just been married, and you killed her father, her brother, and her husband, so I did not trust her (not to harm) you."
Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume II, 252—The Apostle of Allah sent for Zaynab Bint al-Harith [that's the woman who poisoned him] and said to her: What induced you to do what you have done? She replied: You have done to my people what you have done. You have killed my father, my uncle, and my husband, so I said to myself: If you are a prophet, the foreleg will inform you; and others have said: If you are a king, we will get rid of you.
Sunan Abu Dawud 4498—A Jewess presented [Muhammad] at Khaibar a roasted sheep which she had poisoned. The Apostle of Allah ate of it and the people also ate. He then said: Lift your hands (from eating), for it has informed me that it is poisoned. Bishr died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess (and said to her): What motivated you to do the work you have done? She said: If you were a prophet, it would not harm you; but if you were a king, I would rid the people of you. The Apostle of Allah then ordered regarding her and she was killed.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2588—Aisha said, "When the Prophet became sick and his condition became serious, he requested his wives to allow him to be treated in my house, and they allowed him. He came out leaning on two men while his feet were dragging on the ground."
Sunan Ibn Majah 1622—Aishah said: "I never saw anyone suffer more pain than the Messenger of Allah."
Sahih al-Bukhari 4428—The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aishah! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."
Here are two additional videos related to this topic:
Labels: Israel, Khaybar
Mr. Wood! That was excellent!
Here is something I have noticed about Muslim argumentation to justify Mohamed raiding Meccan Caravans.
They say that the Meccans had stolen the goods that the poor Muslims had left behind when they fled and sold them in Damascus.
Well here is what I find interesting. Allah Akbar says in the Quran that Muslims are to sacrifice their lives and their property for his cause.
So if the Muslims had sacrificed their property by fleeing Mecca, why did Allah Akbar then tell them to go fight the Meccans to get their stuff back?
@Radical Moderate
Another nail in the coffin, Thanks everyday picking up stuff to show muslim how disjointed their believe is.
islam the religion of buts(butts!)
Nakdimon said...
Excellent argument RadMod! But here is another thing. If the muslims were poor, then they couldnt have had much possessions. If the raids were really about getting your stuff back, why did they take much more than they lost in Mecca? They would have been done with two raids. That would have equaled the value of what they lost. But they kept raiding like a bunch of rogue pirates. After the second raids they became nothing more than a band of thieves.
isa bin maryam said...
love you david :-)
Rad mod and nakdimon, you both hv just buried Islam here, well done! Yes that is exactly what Mohammad was, a brutal gangster, only, even gangsters hv some morals but he had none whatsoever!
D.I.D.A.C.T.I.C. said...
Just watching your debate with Osama Abdallah and I found something about Muslim girls marrying when I looked up Sahih al-Bukhari 2338. I found that quoted passage in Sahih al-Bukhari Volume 3, Book 39, Number 531.

Paraphernalia! Victorian Objects (2018), ed. by Helen Kingstone and Kate Lister
Abigail Boucher
Martin Heidegger made the famous mid-century distinction between objects and things: an object becomes a thing when the object breaks down or can otherwise no longer serve its intended function. In recent years, as we reappraise the very assumptions and parameters of Thing Theory, the Victorian era—with its proliferation of mass production and marketing, new forms of selling, imperial imports, and the growth of middle-class identity through purchasing power—has proved to be a cynosure of issues pertinent to contemporary material culture studies. This edited collection, rather than looking at things in Heideggerian terms of their use and utility (or, rather, their lack thereof), seeks to explore 'disjecta': items seen as "an auxiliary to a greater part … neither valuable enough for museums nor symbolic enough for purely literary study" (1).
What follows is an interdisciplinary collection of well-selected essays, largely historical, artistic, and literary, exploring the slippery origins, uses, meanings, and legacies of day-to-day items. "We put things back," Kingstone and Lister write, "perhaps not in their place, but in their multifarious contexts" (6) and reify rather than undo the notion of the Victorian obsession with things. Essays are divided into five broad categories: "Collecting Objects", "Defining Class at Home", "Objects Becoming Things", "Reading the Body", and "Print Culture". While the collection only loosely touches on contemporary ideas about museum classification, how we colonise or decolonise collections, and how we preserve, display, and talk about things, this edited collection's ambitious scope and savvy framework illustrate the complexity and nuance of such discussions.
Part 1, "'A Magic Cave': Collecting Objects", looks at the Victorian practice of collecting as essentially a negotiation between Victorians and other times, other spaces, and other cultures. It begins with Rohan McWilliam's "The Bazaars of London's West End in the Nineteenth Century", tracing the rise of the term 'bazaar' in English to describe shopping. Examining three West End bazaars, the Soho, the Pantheon, and the Lowther, McWilliam's case study illustrates how the bazaars' engagement with other cultures and spaces created the West End "as a pleasure district" (17). Anne Anderson's "The Bric-à-Bracquer's Étagère of Whatnot: Staging 'Artistic' Taste in the Aesthetic 'House Beautiful'" follows with a close study of the Victorian étagère, "an elaborate piece of furniture often positioned above the fireplace … intended for the display of precious and valuable objects [which eventually became] a battleground on which the notion of good taste was contested" (37); Anderson shows this object as a space in which the realms of taste, time, sentimentality, personal relationship, and selfhood found their expression in displayable objects. The section ends on Thad Logan's "Rossetti's Things: The Artist and his Accessories", which explores Rossetti's passion, both artistic and utilitarian, for accumulating and painting things. Logan's study attempts to match the objects displayed at Rossetti's Tudor House with their representation in painting and what the treatment of these objects, both in painting and in real life, says about Rossetti's sensuality.
Part 2, "Ornaments: Defining Class at Home", interrogates purchasing power and what that power purchases—especially when it comes to middle-class purchasers who bought objects as a way of shaping identity. Silvia Granata begins the section with "The Dark Side of the Tank: The Marine Aquarium in the Victorian House", tracking its "locus of counter between technological, scientific, and cultural trends" (81); the aquarium served as an example of what would come to be known as "conspicuous consumption", speaking to the middle-class identity of its owners not only through its initial expense but through their subsequent ability to tend to its contents in a way both leisured and ordered. Ralph Mills follows with "'A chimney-piece in Plumtree-court, Holborn': Plaster of Paris 'Images' and Nineteenth-Century Working-Class Material Culture", which looks at George Godwin's 1854 illustration of a chimney piece in the working-class neighbourhood and the significance of the inexpensive plaster miniatures of great artwork frequently purchased as ornamentation. The section concludes with Julia Courtney's "The Secret Lives of Dead Animals: Exploring Victorian Taxidermy" and the educational, decorative, and (manifold) ideological powers conferred through the amassing of taxidermy collections.
Part 3, "Decentring Meaning: Objects Becoming Things", engages more directly with conventional Thing Theory, going "to the heart of current debates about the relationship of object and thing. These essays consider how what objects mean can shift as their use changes and they become 'things'" (9). Valerie Sanders's "Objects of Anxiety in Nineteenth-Century Children's Literature: E. Nesbit and Frances Hodgson Burnett" explores "the importance of 'things' as the source of narratives, mysteries, and most of all, as a means of defining human individuality" (143) in the works of the two authors, especially regarding the 'improper' use of objects as items of play. Francois Ropert's "Within 'The Coil of Things': The Figurative Use of Devotional Objects in the Poetical Works of Algernon Charles Swinburne and Oscar Wilde" close reads the poetry of the two otherwise unconnected authors, which looks at devotional objects "as critical touchstones of changing codes in literature and as signs of decadent times" (161).
Part 4, "Object or Text? Reading the Body", blurs the line between texts and objects, in which texts become objectified and objects can be read as textual. Heather Hind's "Golden Lies? Reading Locks of Hair in Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret and Tennyson's 'The Ringlet'" investigates hair as a body part that can be reworked as a wearable ornament, saleable commodity, and souvenir, both separate and indivisible from the person who grew it. Sophie Ratcliffe's "The Art of Curling Up: Charles Dickens and the Feeling of Curl-Papers" looks at the normally comically portrayed ephemera in the works of Dickens in which "the curl and its associate paper, seem like a kind of threat. It's a threat which encompasses ideas of style, masculinity, selfhood, and class" (198).
Finally, Part 5, "Objects in Circulation: Print Culture", considers both text and thing in terms of movement and how meaning changes based on its mere circulation. Odile Boucher-Rivalain's "Women's Dress as a Polemical Object in the Mid-Victorian Period" breaks down the many meanings of a material object in relation to the social role played by dress in the period, especially in terms of domestic life and working conditions. Alice Crossley's "Paper Love: Valentines in Victorian Culture" examines mass-produced items of sentiment and the many ways in which they policed social norms both publicly and privately. The edited collection ends on Peter Yeandle's "Exotic Bodies and Mundane Medicines: Advertising and Empire in the Late-Victorian and Edwardian Press". Yeandle explores the relationship between advertisers and newspapers as a means of mutually reinforcing socio-political propaganda with the need for consumer goods.

Applied Subsurface Science and Characterization Laboratory
Investigating what lies beneath
In the Applied Subsurface Science and Characterization Laboratory at PNNL, state-of-the-art instrumentation and analytical techniques enable researchers to characterize the critical properties of sediment and rock that control the subsurface movement and reactions of chemicals, water, and gases. Here, different components of SIP column experiments are laid out on the tray with the electrical connection boxes in the background, major components include remedial amendments (small vials), sediments (bottles), column components, and electrodes (silver-silver chloride wires).

Have you ever wondered what is beneath the ground you walk on?
The Earth's subsurface environments serve essential roles in human civilization. This vital portion of the planet provides 98% of the water that is directly useable by humans (most of our fresh water source) and a remarkable 80% of the world's current energy resources. It holds an enormous sustainable renewable energy resource, geothermal energy, that has yet to be significantly tapped. The subsurface plays a critical role in the Earth's carbon and nanomaterial cycles, and therefore in climate change; it is a critical component of the U.S. strategy for addressing climate change through geologic carbon sequestration.
So what is limiting us from effectively accessing these vital resources or our ability to effectively implement a transformational technology to help with climate change or remediation of a complex contaminated site?
The fundamental challenge of understanding and predicting subsurface processes in response to natural and engineered inputs originates in the vast spatiotemporal changes and heterogeneities from microscopic to macroscopic scales in physical, chemical, and biological properties and processes. The challenges posed by heterogeneity and time variance are magnified by the overall difficulty and expense of accessing the subsurface.
In other words, visualizing the subsurface is both extremely expensive and dramatically limited relative to observations above the surface. Combined, heterogeneity and inaccessibility significantly constrain the collection of spatiotemporal subsurface information using current technologies and approaches. This reflects an inadequacy of the data needed to interrogate behavior and understand what controls that behavior.

How is PNNL stepping up to this challenge?
PNNL's mission is to provide the scientific and systems engineering expertise, facilities, and assets to autonomously interrogate, understand, predict, and control, with more detail and accuracy, natural and engineered processes in subsurface environments. PNNL is a recognized leader in high-precision remote and autonomous sensing for interrogating, understanding, predicting, and controlling complex subsurface environmental systems to better enable energy prosperity (e.g., fossil, geothermal, and nuclear energy), national security through counter-proliferation, environmental resilience, and scientific discovery.
One of the critical assets of this mission is the Applied Subsurface Science and Characterization Laboratory. PNNL researchers have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and analytical techniques that allow characterization of critical properties of sediment and rock that control the movement and reactions of chemicals, water, and gases of interest to diverse sponsors working to remediate groundwater and soils, sequester contaminants or carbon, quantify the delivery of nutrients and carbon to surface water and the atmosphere, and advance fundamental subsurface science.
PNNL's expertise grew out of decades of providing scientifically-based solutions for complex environmental remediation at the Hanford Site in Washington state. Our applied subsurface science and engineering capabilities cross-cut missions in fundamental science, sustainable energy, and national security with the Department of Energy offices of Science, Nuclear Energy, Environmental Management, Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, and Geothermal Technology, plus the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other sponsors.

I've been playing the beta version for a while now, and decided to go back to retail version. But when I go to launch Total Miner after opting out of the beta, the game will not load. It will load fine if I go back into the beta, but will not load for the retail version. I have reinstalled the game, and even reinstalled XNA 4.0. Does anyone know of a solution for this?
I've used the beta and switched back to retail without any problems. This may have been before the most recent update. I'm not sure. Seems another player has reported a similar issue so maybe it's to do with the newest update. Strange that a reinstall didnt work. Are you trying to play on the same world files? Because retail and beta worlds aren't backwards compatible.

This Tribute to Human Rights, by Mariano González Beltrán, was dedicated on December 15, 2004 and is located in the Plaza de Santo Domingo. Composed of numerous figures cast in bronze and arranged in a circle, it represents "a society that lives in harmony, in harmony with the enjoyment and respect for human rights, which develop throughout life", according to the artist. The circle is an allusion to the cycle of life, from the gestation of the human being (represented by a pregnant woman) to the twilight of his days (an elderly couple). In addition, it also encourages thinking about the continuity and, at the same time, the universality represented by the Council of Europe's work in favor of human rights. It can even be compared to the circle of stars that make up the flag of the Council of Europe. Embossed text inserted in the work itself says: "To all citizens who strive for the exaltation and defense of HUMAN RIGHTS and in the exercise of democracy and justice, tolerance and freedom of expression." A replica of this work is found in Strasbourg, in gardens in front of the Palace of Human Rights. It was a donation in 2007 from the Government of Murcia.

Q: Android: layout_width and height crop my image i have this little layout i defined to inserted in every page of my app:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/button"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:background="@null"
    android:src="@drawable/sa_info"
    android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>

i've sa_info.png that is 118x118  but i want it to look much smaller on the screen. if i try to set width and height of the imagebutton to the desired size (lets say 48dp) the resulting image when i run the app is cropped to the center:

so the only way i have to get the desired result is scale the image itself to the desired resolution.
what i'm doing wrong, is there a better way to do this?

A: Try adding
android:scaleType="fitCenter" -> http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ImageView.ScaleType.html
android:adjustViewBounds="true" -> Set this to true if you want the ImageView to adjust its bounds to preserve the aspect ratio of its drawable.


Cornish comedian Colin Leggo has been named this year's UK Pun Champion after a showdown at the Leicester Comedy Festival.
This was the third consecutive year that had taken part in the pun-ishing contest, which takes the form of a rap battle.
'Apparently baker Paul Hollywood likes to punch ducks in the face for a laugh- it's the Great British Beak Off!
Leggo has had previous success on YouTube with his spoof Grand Theft Cornwall. His channel also hosts The Car Pun Game', where he invites comedians to drive around, making up puns from words heard on the radio. Guests have included Nick Helm, Pippa Evans and Bec Hill.
The runner-up tonight was 38-year-old Richard Woolford from North London also taking part in his third UK Pun Championship.
Robert Thomas: Seaweed is really good for you. If you're ever in trouble, sea kelp.
Stevie Vegas: Can anyone remind me how to use WD-40? I'm a bit rusty.
Eleanor Colville: Roman numerals going out of fashion? Not on my watch.
Adele Cliff: How can you tell you're eating a Brexit Christmas dinner? No Brussels, or Turkey and we no longer have a seat at the table.
'Alf': When I was young I was adopted by a man called Daz, so I grew up referring to him as my non-biological Father.

Q: iphone sends log files to desktop Console app via wifi UPDATE #2

*

*I've narrowed this down to the WiFi logs are definitely sent via the
lockdown process - not iPhone sync.

*This occurs despite the "Connect via network" box in XCode being unchecked.

UPDATE
I believe the traffic is related to tcp\62078 - iphone-sync & lockdown.  As many of us know, one way this port is used is for an iOS device to sync to iTunes over WiFi however, I have never turned this on.  In addition, when I check this setting with the iPhone connected via USB, that feature is unchecked.
Otherwise, lockdown may be getting accessed somehow but I have yet to figure out how.
Exploit perhaps???
Original Post
As many probably know, it is possible to access\download iPhone logs to a Mac desktop by using XCode and connecting the device to the desktop via USB.  However, my iPhone is now sending this same data via Wifi and I am unable to (A) figure out why and (B) control it or get it to stop.
I have sniffed the connection at least a dozen times, scoured the Net, checked the plethora of Apple Discussion pages, etc...all to no avail. In addition, I have triple-verified that the "Connect via Network" checkbox in XCode is unchecked.
Has anyone (1) seen this and then (2) figured out how to control this and\or get it to stop?
Thanks in advance for any feedback or assistance you may provide.

A: I believe I have found the culprit...iMazing...or rather, iMazing's communicate-to-iOS-device-via-Wifi feature.
At some point over the last year or so, I had installed iMazing which, for those who are unaware, is an iOS device management and backup utility.  And as mentioned above, one of their features is communication with iOS devices via WiFi.  When this is enabled, it uses the same lockdown\usbmuxd application that XCode and others use.
SIDEBAR: "usbmuxd" is a daemon that allows communication to\from iOS devices via USB\WiFi and is the underlying transport control-plane for the "lockdown" service.
Anyway, after installing iMazing, I then at some point enabled the WiFi connection feature but later forgot I had done so.  However, when the feature is enabled in iMazing, it doesn't show as such in XCode nor does it always show as enabled in iMazing.  Therefore, it will not always be readily apparent that iMazing is the reason why the usbmuxd channel is open.
In any event, I was able to get the iMazing instance of usbmuxd closed and then everything began working as expected.

Last, a little insight as to why this wasn't readily apparent when digging into the OS.  The primary reason is because when looking at all of the elements that relate to usbmuxd & lockdown, there was literally no clue that a 3rd party application had opened up the usbmux channel to the device.  When looking at the IP connections to the device, everything looked exactly as it does when the connection is spawned by XCode's "Connect via network" feature.  But again, when checking that feature, it showed as disabled.
In the case of iMazing, the only OS level clue that it had opened the usbmuxd channel was an entry in the app's Devices.plist.  The entry in question is labeled "WiFiConnectionOn" and has a binary value of "YES \ NO".

This sweater is sleeveless, has a waffle weave that allows light penetration and yet has just enough privacy for you to not feel exposed if you are nursing your baby. It is also just awesome as a light weight layer for anyone to wear! It is a great cover up for the beach, works as an amazing car seat canopy, light layer for your workout outfit, and it feels like a great light breathable blanket for baby. This is a great item to have for days out with your child where you can get both a canopy cover to protect against the sun and a quick and easy cover if you need to nurse. Baby will love having this little cocoon to nurse in and yet will love the soft glow of colored light that comes through. This can be worn as both a cardigan or vest and as a poncho. It is slightly longer and narrower than other cardimom styles to allow you to use it as a swimsuit coverup. And it can be worn for babywearing as well, especially by utilizing the neckhole for baby when you back carry. The neckhole can be concealed or worn down to create an open-back effect. Care instructions: wash in a mesh bag to prevent snagging or hand wash, hang or lay flat to dry.
