House Demoliton – Al Khader
August 25, 2014 August 25, 2014 / patrickeappi	/ Leave a comment
Ali Mussa has lived in Al Khader in the Bethlehem Governorate with his family since 1985. We sit under the mulberry tree beside his house, with his children playing nearby as he tells the story of his family and the recent demolition of his house. When he first moved here neither the Separation Barrier that run across his land had not been built, nor had the Israeli army been in the concrete guard tower that overlooks his house. Ali Musa stated that the land has been in his family for generations and that they have Ottoman era paperwork to show his ownership of the land. When he first moved here to his family land they were a small family of six but now the family has grown to over 50 and they have out grown the two rooms they currently live in – this was why Ali Mussa built a new house on his land.
Unable to get a permit to build a house through the Israeli army controlled planning system he pushed on and built without a permit, and because of this the army came and demolished his house.
Ownership is of little significance as Ali's land is in Area C and any development on this land risks demolition. Under the Oslo Agreement the West Bank was split into three: Area A under Palestinian Civil and Security control; Area B under Palestinian civil control and joint Palestinian and Israeli security control; and Area C under Israeli military control for both security and civil administration. The Israeli authorities state that they have planning rules for Area C and that any development needs a permit, this being reasonable and what most countries have; the demolitions are simply enforcing this reasonable system.
Standing at Ali Mussa's house the most obvious difficulty with the Israeli position is the settlement outpost overlooking the family's land. On the hilltop on the other side of the valley, an outpost of mobile homes and farm buildings has sprung up recently, an expansion of the nearby settlement of Efrata. The building of any settlements is contrary to international law under Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention and supported by United Nations Security Council Resolution 465, and this outpost in particular constitutes development without a permit. Instead of being demolished the outpost will later become a permanent settlement with permanent buildings following a pattern well established across the West Bank, of settlement expansion and confiscation of Palestinian land.
Settlement outpost on the hilltop visible through the ruins of Ali Mussa's House.
The position of the Israeli authorities is also contested by the Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem who state that "Israel's policy in Area C violates the essential obligations of international humanitarian law, namely: to safeguard occupied territory on a temporary basis; to refrain from altering the area or exploiting its resources to benefit the occupying power; and, most importantly, to undertake to fulfil the needs of the local residents and respect their rights". This view is backed up by a 2013 report by Swedish Development agency Diakonia examining the planning regime in Area C which concluded that "the planning regime in Area C is fundamentally unlawful, and that this is demonstrated in several key aspects of its form and function". Diakonia go on to conclude that the development permits and associated house demolitions are part of "a restrictive, discriminatory and unlawful planning system that obstructs Palestinian development in Area C by impeding access to natural resources and livelihoods"
Ali Mussa says he knows the Israeli authorities want rid of him. Recently the military built a guard tower overlooking his land and he reported that the settlers on the outpost opposite have started to intimidate him as he goes to tend his crops on th e slopes below their outpost. Ali Mussa claimed that in the past he has been offered money to just leave, but states that he will not take the money and open the way for yet another settlement. Ali is angry, stating "one day they will come and take the very air we breathe".
Ali Mussa's view of the situation – that the Israeli authorities are trying to get rid of him is backed up by figures and reports by the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions – ICAHD. In a March 2012 submission to the UN Human Rights Council, ICAHD stated that "since 1967 Israel has demolished more than 28,000 Palestinian homes, businesses, livestock facilities and other structures vital to Palestinian life and livelihood in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The motivation for demolishing these homes is purely political, and racially informed: to either drive the Palestinians out of the country altogether (the "quiet transfer") or to confine the four million residents of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza to small, crowded, impoverished and disconnected enclaves."
Ali Mussa stated boldly that he would rather die under a bulldozer than live as a refugee, telling us this demolition was the fourth time they had demolished a house of his, and that he was already beginning the fifth house on his land.

For the months of August, September and October I will be working as a human rights monitor in the West Bank, working in the occupied Palestinian territories with the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI).
The EAPPI programme aims to support Palestinians and Israelis in non-violent actions and to advocate for an end to the occupation. Working with international trained volunteers, Palestinians and Israeli peace activists, EAPPI stands in solidarity with all those struggling against the occupation.
I will continue to work for my constituents from the West Bank and will continue to be available by email and phone dealing with queries and constituents difficulties. I also have arranged for a representative to liaise with any urgent matters that require face to face meetings. Indeed I have already responded to many enquiries and successfully advocated on constituents behalf since arriving in Palestine.
The West Bank is home to 2.5 million Palestinians who live under the military occupation of the Israeli Authorities, and Palestinians face daily harassment under the Israeli occupation. Ecumenical Accompaniers are involved in maintaining logs at Israeli checkpoints, maintaining a protective international presence during house demolitions and harvests, accompanying children to school through army checkpoints and in speaking publicly on return about violations of human rights and international law that I have personally witnessed.

The day my second child turned two, her godmother dropped by to celebrate her birthday. Since Jean was very articulate for her age, her godmother wanted to try an experiment she had about read in a hospital newsletter. The article stated that if you asked a young child when they knew enough words to communicate but before they were too old, they could tell you about their life in the womb. So we decided to test this premise.
Jean was tiny but smart, so she startled people with her clear diction and a large vocabulary. This particular day she was standing on a chair behind the kitchen table, playing with a new doll. During the conversation, she answered mainly with one-word sentences because most of her attention was on her toy.
"What else was it like?" I questioned.
"What could you see?" I probed.
"Did you like living in my tummy?" I wondered.
That answer shocked me into silence. I looked over at my sister-in-law.
An unborn child hears and reacts emotionally not only to his mother but also to the people and activity around him.
Prenatal babies have personalities before they are born. As any mother can tell you some babies move around energetically both in and out of the womb, while other infants are physically passive. Some infants are night owls both in and out of the womb and others actually sleep well at night.
An unborn child hears what is happening and remembers what he has heard while he was still in the womb. These memories are conscious for the first couple of years of a young child's life but later they lay deep within their subconscious. For example, some musicians, when first introduced to a piece of music, already know how to play it without even rehearsing. Later they discover that their mother had practised that very same piece of music while she was pregnant with him.
Understanding the implications of these tidbits of trivia, I convinced my son to try this experiment with his pregnant wife a couple of months before the birth of their first child. Actually, this is something I did during all my pregnancies. Often my kids laugh and dismiss some of my beliefs but this time Daniel took my suggestion and put it into action.
Daniel gently placed his hand on one side of his wife, Erin's, stomach and then talked loud to his unborn child, welcoming her into their family. He told unborn Mary that both of her parents loved her already and that they would protect her and supply all her needs, physically, emotionally and spiritually. He concentrated on pouring love into his unborn baby's spirit. As Daniel loved his baby by talking and placing his hand on Erin's right side, unborn Mary kicked and pushed on that side of the womb! When Daniel placed his hand on the other side of Erin's stomach and repeated the "prayers", their unborn daughter placed a few good kicks on that side instead.
Obviously, pre-natal Mary heard everything and she was happy and excited by what she heard.
It was amazing to watch another granddaughter when she was just six-hour-old. She also turned towards her mum and dad's voices in recognition but ignored the loud voices of the nurses and visitors surrounding her. My granddaughter's reaction to her parents meant she remembered their voices from her time in the womb; she was aware and receptive while still in the womb.
It was an unborn baby who was the first to recognize and respond to Christ. Elizabeth blessed Jesus while He was still in Mary's womb. This is why modern parents should feel comfortable blessing unborn children with the Mercy of God. Perhaps those expectant mothers of old were more spiritually aware than modern women because they often choose to stay in quiet, peaceful seclusion praying Psalms and soaking their unborn children with the Spirit of God while they waited for labour to begin.
The scientific community is beginning to research the phenomenon of preverbal memories. For example, see the study, Evidence of Learning and Memory in Fetuses Six Weeks Prior to Birth. The implications of similar scientific research for the pro-life movement is obvious; scientists are discovering that an unborn baby is not a blob of cells but an intelligent, perceptive human being capable of interacting not only with the Spirit of God but with those around them and remembering theses interactions, It becomes much more difficult to justify ending the life of a verified person. Perhaps science is beginning to catch up with the wisdom of the early Church.

Q: React - Slide out component on unmount I want to slide out a React component when it umounts. I am using CSSTransition for the animation which works great for mounting, but not unmounting. Somehow I need to delay the unmount process. All the off-the-shelf solutions sadly do not work for me. I am removing an element by doing a post request and then actually removing it in the UI with a SignalR callback.
To make my sequence more clear, I created a sequence diagram:

This is my code right now:

That is using jQuery in another project of mine. That is what I want to achive in React.

A: You can delay unmounting the component. Write a hoc and use a setTimeout. Maintain a state say shouldRender.
hoc
function delayUnmounting(Component) {
  return class extends React.Component {
    state = {
      shouldRender: this.props.isMounted
    };

    componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
      if (prevProps.isMounted && !this.props.isMounted) {
        setTimeout(
          () => this.setState({ shouldRender: false }),
          this.props.delayTime
        );

You need the help of a plumber if you see stains around your ceiling, when the water pressure has reduced when you want to take a shower, or when the toilet has clogged. Plumbing problems may range from simple or mild to more serious issues that require immediate attention. It is important to recognize when you need to call for emergency plumbing and the right plumber to call. For example, you may wait for someone to come deal with a leaking faucet, but you do not have to wait when your toilet starts to run.
When you have to deal with serious and complex problems in Mayfair, you will need a reliable and experienced plumber. Consider the experience of the plumber and how long they have been in business. The company should be highly recommended and they should have dealt with the same problem many times before.
While dealing with the emergency plumbing Mayfair, you need to have someone who is reliable and who can be available 24 hours a day, but not someone whom you will have to wait for days before he comes to work on your home. When some plumbing emergencies are not dealt with at once, they may turn into costly and major problems. It is important to look for the plumber who will be able to work any time you call him.
Some homeowners may think that drains and clogged toilets are something minor that can be dealt with by any plumber, but this is not the case. There are times where a problem may get worse and it is important for you to have the professional who is licensed to deal with any problems when they happen. The right plumber has to have insurance and the required certification to be able to work on your home. You should not wait so that you can find yourself the right plumber.

The vacation home is located along the North Shore of Lake Superior midway between the lake and Lutsen Ski Resort in Lutsen, Minnesota. The heavily forested site is uniquely situated to provide spectacular views of Lake Superior to the southeast and Moose Mountain at Lutsen Ski Resort to the northwest. The residence is designed to take advantage of the panoramic views. The massing of the structure is long and narrow with the long faces oriented toward the views of Lake Superior and Moose Mountain, making it possible to view both the lake and Moose Mountain from all major living spaces. The space planning for the residence is also designed to take advantage of the views. The residence is designed upside down from conventional space planning, with the Living Area, Kitchen, Dining Area and Porch/Deck located on the upper floor level. The mid floor level contains Bedrooms, Bathroom, a Recreation Area and a Roof Deck. The lower floor level contains a Granny Flat residential unit, garages and support spaces.


The geometries and potential surfaces for the neutral cyclobutane uracil dimer as well as its radical ions have been calculated by ab initio methods. The electronic structure of these species is analyzed using electrostatic potential and spin density surfaces as well as the topology of the frontier molecular orbitals. The overall shape and charge distribution of the cyclobutane uracil dimer suggest a binding mode in which the electrostatic potential pattern in the dimer is matched with the asymmetric distribution of polar and nonpolar amino acid residues in the putative active site of DNA photolyase. The polar interactions between the dimer and the positively charged region of the active site could be enhanced for the radical anion. For the radical cation and the radical anion, a planar cyclobutane ring is calculated. The charges and spin densities are localized at the N1-C6 and C4-C5 positions, respectively. In the radical cation, the C6-C6' bond is substantially stretched and the charge and spin distribution between the rings is almost symmetrical. For the radical anion, a localized structure with an intact C5-C5' bond is obtained.

Runner Notes
The trail can get rocky in places, although most of the rocks are well placed and don't move easily.
If running this in the winter, bring extra clothing because the Peter Sinks area can get very cold, a lot colder than the surrounding areas.
From the trailhead, a sign can be seen that says "Stump Hollow - 5 miles". Follow the trail that goes from this sign into the woods beyond. In the woods, the trail immediately starts ascending, although it is a very gradual ascent that continues throughout the first three miles of the trail. The first part of the trail is very interesting because there is a mixture of large rocks and forest, aspen and pine, and it's all very beautiful. The trail itself is also interesting because I believe it was renovated for mountain bikers, so there are several berms and bumps that would probably be really fun on a mountain bike, and are pretty fun on foot as well. After a couple of miles, the trail starts to switchback up a hillside, and as the switchbacks reach the top of their ascent, the view opens up to where you get a great view of Gog and Magog, as well as the cirque headwall right above White Pine Lake, to the west. Mount Naomi sits in the backdrop as well.
At this point, most of the climbing has been done and the trail drops into a pretty flat section through a beautiful conifer forest as it contours around a mountain, and eventually drops down into a large deforested basin with a small pond to the right of the trail. This is a beautiful area, especially in the morning as the sunlight breaks through and shines on the dew that rests on the grasses and sagebrush in the basin. However, just as quickly as the forest opened up into the basin, it swallows the trail again as it ascends slowly to the high point of the trail. From the high point in the forest, the trail drops quickly via a set of short switchbacks into the Peter Sinks area, which is a great contrast to the forest that the trail has been going through for most of its course. Peter Sinks is a vast, almost treeless basin with expansive views in all directions. It has a lot of sagebrush and grasses, but trees only very sparsely populate this area, which is most likely due to the temperatures. On just about any given day, the sinks are generally about 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding areas. It is a great area though.
After dropping into the Peter Sinks area, the trail continues for another half mile or so, passing by large cairns (many of them are about 2 feet tall) along a really neat rocky ridge that separates two parts of the sinks, which allows for great views of the talus in the sinks, as well as the rock outcroppings above. The trail ends at a sign and converges with a dirt road.
Deer like the woods around this trail, as well as other wildlife.

1944 – Jeff Beck is born in Surrey, England…
Posted on	4:00 pm by admin
1944 – Jeff Beck is born in Surrey, England. FEATURED
Jeff Beck isn't your typical guitar legend. His goal, in fact, is to make you forget that he plays guitar.
"I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound," says Beck. "Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off. I love it when people hear my music but can't figure out what instrument I'm playing. What a cool compliment."
Beck burst onto the music scene in 1966 after joining the Yardbirds. Although his stint with the band lasted only 18 months, Beck played on almost all of the group's hits. More importantly, Beck's innovative style heard on classics like "Heart Full of Soul" and "Shapes of Things" helped influence the psychedelic sound of the '60s.
At the height of the Yardbirds' popularity in 1967, Beck left the group and embarked upon unpredictable journey of musical discovery that has lasted nearly four-decades as an Epic recording artist. During that time, Beck has left his distinctive mark on hard rock, jazz-fusion and modern music history.
While many of his contemporaries are satisfied with musical inertia, Beck continues to add to his legacy as an innovator with the release of his 14th album, simply titled "Jeff ." Produced by Andy Wright (Simply Red, Eurythmics) and mixed by Mike Barbiero (Blues Traveler, Metallica), the 13 songs on "Jeff" reflect how Beck's fascination with electronic music continues to evolve.
"On my last album, 'You Had It Coming,' I spent a lot of time in the studio with Andy Wright just toying around with different sounds. We had a great time, but I bogged down in the possibilities," says Beck, who earned a Grammy for instrumental performance for the song "Dirty Mind" from that album. "When I went back to the studio for 'Jeff ,' I didn't want to get bogged down again so I brought in a few people to help push us along."
Although they only met when the album was almost finished, Beck says David Torn of the New York trip-hop group Splattercell became an important collaborator. Much to Beck's delight, Torn gutted an early version of the song, "Plan B." "Dave ripped the vocals out straight away and made my guitar line the song's main hook. That's what I should have done in the first place, but it takes a remix guy to come along and put a different spin on what you're doing," he says. "The instant I heard Dave's album with Splattercell, I wanted him to dismember one of my songs, and he came through beautifully."
While working on the album at Metropolis Studio, Beck met Liverpudlian electronic trio Apollo 440—programmers Howard Gray, his brother Trevor and guitarist Noko Fisher-Jones. Before long, Beck had recorded three songs using the group's rhythms.
"When we first met, they wrote me one of those amazing 'nail your head to the wall' kinds of grooves that they're famous for and I ate it up," says Beck. "I played off that track for two hours and wound up writing 'Grease Monkey' around their groove."
Finding inspiration in a unique rhythm track is how songs like "Dirty Mind" from "You Had It Coming" and "Psycho Sam" from "Who Else!" were written, says Beck. "I play guitar, but that's rarely my starting point," he explains. "The drums have to kick me in the ass and make me want to play or I'll just sit there all day. Sure, I can write a song on guitar and then try to add drums in later, but it never sounds quite right. For me, a good song has to begin with an inspiring rhythm."
Another Apollo 440 rhythm track provided the spark for "Hot Rod Honeymoon," which juxtaposes a raging club beat against 60s surf-pop harmonies and blues slide guitar. The unexpected contrast gives the song a fresh edge. "If I used a shuffle on this song, which is the kind of beat you would expect to hear, it would have killed the song instantly," explains Beck. "Instead, the Apollo guys and I came up with a tongue-in-cheek Beach Boys song complete with techno-drums and screaming guitar, which I think sounds more interesting."
With its haunting melody anchored by Beck's violin-like tone and a 40-piece orchestra, "Bulgarian"—a traditional folk song arranged by Beck and Wright—is one of the guitarist's most majestic songs. At the other end of the spectrum is the album's wildest ride, "Trouble Man." Beck starts out by coaxing numb-tongue mumbles from his Fender Stratocaster before launching into a mercurial solo that soars, spirals out of control and crashes into a pulsating heap of noise that sounds like an overdriven modem. The song, like much of Beck's work, creates an atmosphere of violent elegance by pitting the raw emotions of the heart against the calculated technique of the mind.
A rare breed of guitarist like Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix, Beck is not only compelling for what he plays, but for how he plays it. While some guitar players use racks of gear to create sound, Beck prefers a simple, natural approach that emphasizes manual dexterity over gadgets. As Eric Clapton once said, "With Jeff, it's all in his hands."
Like few guitarists before him, Beck plays the entire guitar. Using his fingers instead of a guitar pick for greater speed and control over the fretboard, Beck adds deft twists of the volume and tone knobs to shape the notes as he's playing them and further bends sounds into a rubbery tangle with his controlled cruelty on the whammy bar. "I play the way I do because it allows me to come up with the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?" says Beck with a wicked grin. "I don't care about the rules. In fact, if I don't break the rules at least 10 times in every song then I'm not doing my job properly."
ELECTRONIC ROOTS
Beck started his career by exploring the heavier side of rock before switching gears in 1975 with the groundbreaking instrumental jazz-fusion albums, "Blow By Blow" and "Wired ."
Produced by Sir George Martin, famed producer of The Beatles, the two albums shattered people's preconceptions of what a rock guitarist was supposed to sound like. By fusing the complexity of progressive rock and improvisatory freedom of jazz with intergalactic guitar tones and a sense of humor, Beck opened up the horizon for future guitar instrumentalists like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.
In the wake of those two albums, Beck became increasingly interested in the possibilities of electronic music thanks to his collaborations with former Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist, Jan Hammer. On stage, Hammer's legendary mastery of the Mini-Moog synthesizer imbued Beck classics like "Freeway Jam" and "Blue Wind" with a funky, otherworldly aura that was ahead of its time. Looking back on the tour for "Wired"—documented on "Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live" (1978)—Beck says the shows left some in the audience scratching their heads.
"I don't suppose many people knew what the hell was happening on stage," says Beck. "I can tell you it was an exciting—electric—time for us as musicians because we were pushing the music in new directions. At the time, I think we were a little out there for most people, but when you look back now…it sounds like we were on to something."
Although their partnership only lasted a few years, Beck says Hammer continues to inspire him to search out and use new sounds in his music. "The way Jan used technology really turned my head around and opened up a new world for me," says Beck. "He made me realize that things are always changing and you can't sit still. You have to keep your ears wide open to hear what's going on or the music will pass you by."
Born on 24th June 1944, just before the end of World War II, Beck grew up in Wallington, England. His mother's piano playing and the family's radio tuned to everything from dance to classical made sure Beck was surrounded by music from a young age.
"For my parents, who lived through the war, music was a source of comfort to them. Life was tense and music helped them forget about their troubles. I'm sure that made an impression on me," recalls Beck. "I was really small when jazz broke through in England and I can still remember sneaking off to the living room to listen to it on the radio—much to my parent's disapproval."
Inspired by the music he heard, it wasn't long before Beck picked up a guitar and began playing around London. He briefly attended Wimbledon's Art College before leaving to devote all of his time to music. Beck worked as a session player, with Screaming Lord Sutch—the British equivalent to Screaming Jay Hawkins—and the Tridents before he replaced Eric Clapton as the Yardbirds' lead guitarist in 1965.
Beck left the band in 1967 and formed The Jeff Beck Group, which featured Rod Stewart on vocals and Ron Wood on bass. The band released two albums—"Truth" (1968) and "Beck-Ola " (1969)—that became musical touchstones for hard rockers in the years to come.
Stewart and Wood left to join the Faces and Beck disbanded the group until 1971 when he formed a new version of the band and recorded two albums—"Rough and Ready" (1971) and "The Jeff Beck Group" (1972). Beck again dissolved the group and formed a power trio with bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice, which released "Beck, Bogert and Appice" (1973).
Veering away from hard rock, Beck created two landmark two jazz-fusion albums—"Blow By Blow" (1975) and "Wired" (1976). The all-instrumental albums were a critical and popular success and remain two of the top-selling guitar instrumental albums of all time. The live album, "Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live" followed in 1977.
Music may have been one of Beck's earliest passions but it has always shared space with a love of hot rods that began as soon as he could see over the dashboard. After the success "Blow By Blow" and "Wired ," Beck began devoting more time to his fleet of hot rods. "I like the studio because it's delicate; you're working for sound. I like the garage because chopping up lumps of steel is the exact opposite of delicate," explains Beck. "The garage is a more dangerous place though. I've never almost been crushed by a guitar, but I can't say the same about one of my Corvettes."
Beck returned in 1980 with "There and Back," but he wouldn't be heard from again until 1985's "Flash," which earned him the Best Rock Instrumental Grammy—his first—for the song "Escape." Beck re-emerged from semi-retirement in 1989 with "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop with Terry Bozzio and Tony Hymas ." The album earned him his second Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental. After a co-headlining tour with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Beck gave retirement another try, but it didn't last.
Beck returned to the studio in 1993 backed by the Big Town Playboys to record "Crazy Legs," a tribute to seminal rockabilly artist Gene Vincent and his guitarist Cliff Gallup. Six years passed before the release of "Who Else!" (1999) but the album opened a relative floodgate of music by Beck standards. It only took two years before "You Had It Coming ," (2001), which earned Beck his third Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental for the song "Dirty Mind."
To support his album "Jeff ", Beck returned to the road in the summer of 2003 on a coast-to-coast tour with blues legend B.B. King on the 12th Annual B.B. King Music Festival. The landmark event, presented by VH1 Classic, also featured New Orleans-based progressive funk outfit Galactic and up-and-coming Florida-bred murky blues band Mofro. An official bootleg "Live at B.B. King Blues Club" was recorded in the New York club in September 2003, and released for online retail only at www.jeffbeckmusic.com.
In the summer of 2004 Jeff Beck toured the UK, the first time since 1990, using momentum gained from a fourth Grammy for the track "Plan B" on the album "Jeff". He put together a new band for comprising Vinnie Coliauta, Pino Palladino and Jason Rebello for Japan in July 2005 and kept them for a 6 date US West Coast tour in the spring of 2006. It was from those dates that the 'must have' Jeff Beck live CD, the "Official Bootleg" was created. Although Pino wasn't available, Jeff kept Vinnie and Jason, adding Randy Hope-Taylor for UK and European dates, plus two Japanese festivals in the summer of that year, followed by a long tour of the US in September.
2007 began in public with a duet with Kelly Clarkson on TV's American Idol Gives Back to a reputed audience of 30 million! During the summer Jeff undertook 7 dates in Europe and finished playing to a crowd of over 30,000 at the Crossroads Guitar festival in Chicago.

I have been attempting to remove the zen agent from a windows 7 workstation.
The tool continually informs me that my password is incorrect when run. (zone password), the same password is used to unregister / register from the zone.
Also once uninstall zenworks agent is ticked I can't untick uninstall zenworks full disk encryption.
And finally do I have to create a batch file - or this just an option for command line scripting.

E Word
Our Crowded Planet
Doug Moss July 20, 2004
The U.S. has long been the world leader in supplying financial assistance to fledgling birth control programs in the Third World. Until recently, that policy had broad bipartisan support in Congress. But now a small ideological alliance, led by Republican Congressmen Christopher Smith and Henry Hyde, has introduced a powerful divisive force: abortion.
Although the use of U.S. foreign assistance funds for abortion has been prohibited since 1973, raising it as a phantom issue has proved devastatingly effective in rallying the votes against birth control assistance. Last year, House-led efforts cut family planning assistance from $547 million to $356 million, and also attached stringent restrictions that slowed the money flow to a trickle.
The religious right has a very specific aim for the new congressional session, as summed up by Douglas Johnson, director of government relations for the National Right to Life Committee. "What we're trying to get back to," he said, is the policy that prevailed under Presidents Reagan and Bush, with family planning assistance only going to groups that "did not promote abortion." Ironically, if Johnson and his friends get their way, the loss of contraceptive availability will result in many more abortions, an estimated 1.6 million additional procedures a year, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute.
If politics prevails, the small but incremental gains in Third World population control made over the last 30 years could be reversed. And with that reversal goes the hope that poor, increasingly resource-stressed countries can maintain sustainable populations—most are on a trajectory that could double their populations by 2025.
At the 1994 United Nations population conference in Cairo, the U.S. was one of 150 countries that pledged to increase family planning funding, with the aim of reaching $17 billion in worldwide assistance by the year 2000. The Clinton administration was keeping this pledge—until it ran into a wall of social conservatives.
Although there are encouraging signs that fertility rates are declining in such populous countries as Brazil (down 45 percent between 1960 and 1989), Mexico (down 47 percent in the period) and, especially, China (down 60 percent), world population moves inexorably up, at only slightly moderating growth rates. By the middle of the 21st century, there could be 12 billion people on the Earth, twice the current number. Sound far-fetched? Consider that world population doubled just between 1955 and 1995, from 2.77 billion to 5.73 billion. It's hard not to see rising from all this growth a period of increasing turmoil, famine and civil conflict. Unchecked population, by most scientific measures, will equal more scarcity, vanishing natural resources, rampant disease, and escalating human conflict. That's a scenario that the religious right—and its allies in Congress—might want to think twice about before embracing.
E would like to thank The Weeden Foundation for assistance in underwriting our population series. We would also like to thank The Summerlee Foundation for their continuing financial support.

Rewriting Life
Stem-Cell Treatment for Blindness Moving Through Patient Testing
Advanced Cell Technology is testing a stem-cell treatment for blindness that could preserve vision and potentially reverse vision loss.
by Susan Young
A new treatment for macular degeneration is close to the next stage of human testing—a noteworthy event not just for the millions of patients it could help, but for its potential to become the first therapy based on embryonic stem cells.
Vision support: The cells used in Advanced Cell Technology's clinical trials produce dark pigments and cobblestone-like patterns that can be readily recognized in cultures.
This year, the Boston-area company Advanced Cell Technology plans to move its stem-cell treatment for two forms of vision loss into advanced human trials. The company has already reported that the treatment is safe (see "Eye Study Is a Small but Crucial Advance for Stem-Cell Therapy"), although a full report of the results from the early, safety-focused testing has yet to be published. The planned trials will test whether it is effective. The treatment will be tested both on patients with Stargardt's disease (an inherited form of progressive vision loss that can affect children) and on those with age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss among people 65 and older.
The treatment is based on retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells that have been grown from embryonic stem cells. A surgeon injects 150 microliters of RPE cells—roughly the amount of liquid in three raindrops—under a patient's retina, which is temporarily detached for the procedure. RPE cells support the retina's photoreceptors, which are the cells that detect incoming light and pass the information on to the brain.
Although complete data from the trials of ACT's treatments have yet to be published, the company has reported impressive results with one patient, who recovered vision after being deemed legally blind. Now the company plans to publish the data from two clinical trials taking place in the U.S. and the E.U. in a peer-reviewed academic journal. Each of these early-stage trials includes 12 patients affected by either macular degeneration or Stargardt's disease.
The more advanced trials will have dozens of participants, says ACT's head of clinical development, Eddy Anglade. If proved safe and effective, the cellular therapy could preserve the vision of millions affected by age-related macular degeneration. By 2020, as the population ages, nearly 200 million people worldwide will have the disease, estimate researchers. Currently, there are no treatments available for the most common form, dry age-related macular degeneration.
ACT's experimental treatment has its origins in a chance discovery that Irina Klimanskaya, the company's director of stem-cell biology, made while working with embryonic stem cells at Harvard University. These cells have the power to develop into any cell type, and in culture they often change on their own. A neuron here, a fat cell there—individual cells in a dish tend to take random walks down various developmental paths. By supplying the cultures with fresh nutrients but otherwise leaving them to their own devices for several weeks, Klimanskaya discovered that the stem cells often developed into darkly pigmented cells that grew in a cobblestone-like pattern. She suspected that they were developing into RPE cells, and molecular tests backed her up.
Now that her discovery has advanced into an experimental treatment, Klimanskaya says she is excited by the hints that it may be able to preserve, and perhaps restore, sight. She recalls a voice mail she received during her second year at ACT: a person blinded by an inherited condition thanked her for her work, whether or not there was a treatment available for him. "When you get a message like this, you feel like you are not doing it in vain," she says.

Several hundred years after humanity's greed for a valuable resource, Gravitum, rendered Earth uninhabitable, humanity colonized other planets. The resulting network of colonies, called the "Kepler Circuit" is overseen by a religious and corrupt council known as the "New Earth Tribunal." Not everyone in the Circuit agrees with the Tribunal's heavy hand and there are not any rebel factions that are big, or powerful enough to wage a war on the Tribunal. Because of this, most faction leaders are content to smuggle goods to be sold on the black market, or raid smaller Tribunal craft that they happen to cross paths with; however, someone is incapacitating and raiding Tribunal vessels carrying Gravitum, and the Tribunal wants to find out who is behind these raids.
The task of discovering which rebel faction is behind the raids and infiltrating it is given to Sage Volus; Tribunal Executor, spy and assassin. What she discovers challenge her beliefs, physical body, heart, and mind.
The beginning of the book drops readers right into the plot, but humanity's history is revealed as the plot unfolds in a dark and elaborate galaxy created by Bruno. Readers immediately get the sense that humanity's fate in space is overseen by an unjust and corrupt group, and that insatiable greed for resources and power are what ultimately drove humanity into space.
There are three major players in this plot; the characters have exquisitely crafted histories that are revealed during crucial plot points and, as the plot continues, readers will find that the connections between the characters are multi-faceted.
The setting is very detailed, it was easy for me to become immersed in the world.
All of the characters were interesting; each had a compelling history and I understood each character's motivations.
The socioeconomic and sociopolitical aspects of the story were complete and clearly explained.
There are subversive elements and action in the book, so there was always something going on; even during the breaks in action.
Finally, despite the fact that some readers may think that Bruno is using the standard "damsel in distress" trope with Sage, I like her. She seems young and indoctrinated; these characteristics make her an excellent tool for the Tribune, but they also cause her to be distressed when she finds evidence that forces her to question her beliefs. It added some realism to her character, which I appreciated.
Executor Rising will leave you on the edge of your seat and wanting more! I am looking forward to reading the next book in The Circuit Series, Progeny of Vale.
