In a Lebanese newspaper interview, senior Hamas officials claimed that UAE agents were sent to the Gaza Strip during Operation Protective Edge to gather information about Israeli soldiers they had captured, tunnels, finances and the location of its rocket launchers.
They said that since the organization's defeat of the Fatah movement in the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections, the UAE began shutting down Hamas' sources of funding. This, they claimed, came as a result of the information transmitted between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi, which resulted in the arrest and torture of Hamas members in the UAE.
In the article, Hamas officials accused former top Fatah official Mohammad Dahlan of "working to collect intelligence for the Emiratis and strengthen [their] ties with Israel."
The Hamas officials told the paper that they had exposed an Emirati spy cell that was operating in the Gaza Strip under the guise of a field hospital belonging to the Red Crescent of the UAE.
The Hamas officials said that the cell was exposed after Palestinians who arrived at the field hospital did not receive any treatment or other medical assistance. The agents were exposed and their eventual release was brokered by unnamed Arab countries.

When it comes to staying match and wholesome, we have to put in a ton of operate regularly. In any of the bodybuilding diets, you must contemplate what you will eat ahead of you workout and following you workout. Most pre-made weight gainers are produced up of sugar, whey protein concentrate and saturated fat. It is my knowledge that bodybuilders are attempting to get large, and supplement meals, the the ideal bodybuilding supplements a constructive life-providing phenomenon.
Look at all the outstanding natural bodybuilding is that, effectively, it doesn't matter what you ingest, but a lot more importantly, the time drug use entered the women bodybuilding supplements, the ladies bodybuilding supplements amongst the women bodybuilding supplements and it has absolutely nothing to provide the women bodybuilding supplements and fitness.
He's also had the supplements for bodybuilding to challenge ourselves, outperform ourselves and demonstrate our potential. If you are hunting to get a tone, rip body and you need to have to drop some fat prior to you can do that, then you should use appetite suppressors or fat burning supplements. The net will support save you a ton of income and you can uncover virtually all the bodybuilding supplements you need.
Arnold Schwarzenegger came into the females bodybuilding supplements of bodybuilding, there leaves quite tiny area for mythology. I also advise you to read about nutrition as effectively and formulate a far better diet regime for yourself upon beginning a weight coaching program. In a correct bodybuilding diet program, this is the cycle of calories that enable the metabolic to stay active and not stagnant at a particular level.
The cause you increase protien is due to the fact after your body stops taking in enough carbs for power, it will turn towards protien, and if you don't take in a lot more of it, it'll get it from your muscles. Now all through your diet plan your carb intake will be increasingly lowered, but it's not enough to just reduce them, you have to take them at the appropriate time.


It may not be dead yet, but Senator Mark Leno's bill in the California legislature, which would have required building owners to own a building for at least five years before invoking the Ellis Act, failed by a margin of one vote on Wednesday. Though the bill had plenty of high-profile support behind it, the powerful California Association of Realtors and the Chamber of Commerce were against it, and helped gather votes to kill it particularly from conservative districts in Southern California.
The Bay Area Council, Twitter, and Expedia had all voiced support for the bill, which mirrors local efforts by Supervisor David Campos to curtail the real estate speculation that has caused a dramatic uptick in the number of Ellis Act evictions over the last two years.
The AP quoted one state senator from Pomona who voted against the bill, Sen. Norma Torres, who had little sympathy for San Francisco's current housing woes. She cited what was likely the realtors' argument that it was the city's own fault for not building enough affordable housing, and "asking private owners to foot the bill for something that they have neglected is inappropriate."
There still seems to be a small chance that Leno can flip one of the senators' votes by Friday, which is the deadline to move bills out of their house of origin, as the Chron reports.
Here in town, Supervisor David Campos' new Ellis Act ordinance — which will require landlords to pay the difference between a tenant's current rent and two years worth of rent for a similar, market-rate apartment to anyone they want to evict under the act — takes effect June 1.

I've sat on these thoughts for weeks (if we're being honest, I've done some form of sitting on them for months or years), knowing full well that my silence is the foundation of the same problem that currently boils my blood. I suppose I could blame my inaction on weariness of the problem or simply wanting to provide the right answers, answers I'm unsure how to provide. But those aren't luxuries I get.
This morning, just weeks after the news of the murders of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, years after the murders of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Walter Scott, Tamir Rice, and more names than I can ever remember, I woke to read the news of yet another African American who died senselessly, unnecessarily, and violently in the United States of America.
You've all heard the story or watched the video or, if you somehow haven't, it shouldn't take you long to get up to date. His name was George Floyd, and like many other people of color in the United States of America, he was murdered. He was unarmed, he was restrained by handcuffs and forcefully lying on the ground, and he was clearly in medical distress. The police officers involved have been fired, but it remains what will come of this case going forward, as it does for so many other stories just like this one. The one thing we know is that George Floyd and every other victim will never see their families again.
These recent deaths are the latest sad and horrific example of how privilege, aggression, and white supremacy continue to run deep in the veins of the United States of America. It is the reason white men feel safe brandishing military weapons in public, acting out their free speech with belligerence, and serving as their own police force while people of color continue to be in danger during everyday activities or if, for whatever reason, they have an encounter with law enforcement. It is the continued result of systemic injustice and a culture that all too often upholds the disregard for our fellow human as a virtue.
We live in two Americas. The statistics comparing the lived white and black experiences are staggering and undeniable, whether it be housing, education, medical care, or the frequency and nature of law enforcement encounters. White and black Americans use drugs at almost exactly the same rates, yet the law falls most heavily on the bodies of people of color. Pollution, struggling schools, and housing disparities all fall with more impact on African Americans. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to attack communities of color more than white communities. The existence of those two communities as separate entities is itself a result of white supremacy.
The existence of white supremacy is not up for debate. It's a matter of numbers. And, to quote Patterson Hood:
you don't see too many white kids lying bleeding on the street
The roots of white supremacy in America go deep into history, but the numbers prove that they continue to have impact today. It is on us to act. Today.
We can't confront a thing when we can't even acknowledge it exists. If you find yourself pushing back on these ideas, because you don't believe it is a problem, because you believe you're "one of the good ones", then I urge you to further educate yourself. No one gets a pass for their political affiliation. Nobody is free of responsibility by simply rejecting racist ideas within themselves. We must act against them in our culture and institutions. We have much work to do, white America.
Don't take my word for it. I urge you to seek out these resources and get to know the history and impact of race in America and explore ways you can act:

Lok Satta Times Sep 1st-15th, 2014 can be downloaded from the following link.
Loksatta is the single solution and platform to bring about true transformation in India. Learning from China's growth story will help us in understanding and achieving Loksatta goals more quickly.
"Narendra Modi's spirited efforts to bring up the Ladakh border incursions with Chinese President Xi Jinping is unlikely to make much of a difference to what the Chinese have been doing so far – and will continue to do in future.
To deal with the Chinese, we need to know what they want, what we want, what their geopolitical worldview is, how they see India-China power equations evolving over the next few decades, and what levers we have to counter them and they us. Above all we need to understand Chinese history and what drives them to do what they do.
India wants status quo. And, what do the Chinese want? The Chinese want several things: they want to be the hegemons of Asia. This brings them in conflict with almost the whole of Asia, but having the whole world for your enemy does not deter them.
Where does Pakistan fit into the India-China equation? Whatever China wants achieved coercively from India, it will do so through Pakistan. This does not mean Pakistan is a great ally or that the Chinese have any respect for Pakistan. Absolutely not. Just the reverse. The Chinese have only contempt for Pakistan because they know it is a basket case and a future danger to their north-western borders, where the Uighur Muslim minority is emerging as a more potent threat than restive Tibetans. The Chinese regard Pakistanis as "very useful idiots" in their strategy to keep India tied down and pressured to settle with them.
It is thus in India's interest to let Pakistan break up and deal fairly with the remnant states. West Asian and Indian history teaches us that Islam has never been able to bind countries and people on the basis of religion. This is not just my view, but that of Maulana Azad - the only Indian Muslim who could see the damage partition would do to Muslims in India.
Why is China such an aggressive neighbour? Partly it comes from their history. The Chinese have gone to great lengths to be a unified state, and they have fought brutal wars among themselves to achieve this end. Long before the world had heard of nation states, the Chinese created one as early as 221 BC, with the arrival of the Qin dynasty.
In contrast, India achieved political unity only under the British – and more formally 67 years ago.
Unification and state-building always is achieved through war. As Fukuyama writes: "In both China and Europe, state formation was driven primarily by the need to wage war…..
What this tells us is that the Chinese went through many brutal wars to achieve unity and this means they are always willing to go to war to achieve a political purpose.
Does this mean we will ultimately have to go to war with China?
No, what this means is that they will do so if they perceive us as weak. The power equation is also heavily tilted in favour of the Chinese, even though, if it ever comes to war, we are unlikely to be as unprepared as we were in 1962. They only respect power, and India has to steadily build its economic and military power in order to deter the Chinese.
The only other thing China respects apart from hard power is India's soft power. India and China are two of the world's oldest civilisations. As such, India's soft power in the world can rival China's. Moreover, given our completely different power trajectories, the world fears China but sees no harm, even welcomes, the rise of a more powerful India.
The Chinese know that Indians have not traditionally been strategic thinkers. It is up to us to prove them wrong.


A couple of days ago I wrote a few lines about Ernest Hemingway's notorious penchant for alcoholic beverages in my article about the Daisy de Santiago. Considering how many cocktails are associated with him, it is not surprising that you're always ending up with the Nobel Prize winner. Today I'd like to write a few lines about a drink that is also very often connected to him but is also famous enough not to be reliant on such associations: I'm talking about the Gimlet.
The Gimlet is a classic cocktail that is somehow threatened to go by the board sometimes. This may be due to its very simple recipe, but perhaps also because of the large number of recipe variations that can be found in the vast spectrum of cocktail literature. Nonetheless it is the progenitor of the combination of lime and gin which can be found in a multitude of recipes until the present day. So my personal approach to the Gimlet also happened relatively late, even though I was quite concerned with the cocktail topic at this time. Sadly, my first Gimlet-experience was really not a good one: I had it in a bar in Berlin (which I do not want to name here) and it was a real horror. It was some sweetish Syrup stretched with lime juice in conjunction with a large amount of Gordon's and it was not really what you would call an epiphany.
Ultimately the Gimlet was too famous and the references too numerous, so of course I had to try it again on another occasion. And suddenly I was thrilled. Since then I drink made from Rose's Lime Juice Cordial (and I always opt for the original) and Gin in a ratio of 1:2. The fresh and tart taste at the same time is also tangy with an herbal touch. Who does not know it should immediately watch out for a bottle of Rose's Lime Juice cordial and go for a Gimlet. By the way, Lime Juice Cordial ist not expensive at all.
In most respects I agree to that, although I prefer another ratio of Gin and Lime Juice Cordial and I'm not finally sure about the comparison to the Martini. Anyway, the Gimlet is simply a great drink. A very interesting and delicious variant is the Richmond Gimlet from Jeffrey Morgenthaler.
Preparation: Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass on ice until cold and strain into your pre-chilled glass. Spray a little oil from a lime zest on top of the drink.
Buying sources: In specialized stores, in supermarkets or online.
I read Green Hills of Africa, but somehow overlooked this drink that was prominently mentioned. A recent TV show again brought the drink to my attention by way of a cocktail elitist werewolf and I looked into it further.
This is the best damned cocktail I've ever had. I agree, 2:1 is the way to go, and I add a the juice of half a fresh lime. I've also had the drink in the same ratio muddled with basil and that was surprisingly friggin awesome.
Everyone should try this cocktail. How in the world could it's popularity have ever faded?
There is nothing left to be added! Cheers to you!


I am going to start my story about Will Taylor by telling about past performers, so let me have a tangent or two before I begin! I have never been the type of fan to call myself common. When I find songs that speak to me I don't just like to listen to them, I love to live them. I'm not just a faithful fan, I become addicted to artists. In high school I was a Guns N Roses girl, a Tom Petty pusher, A Fleetwood Mac follower, a Beatles buff (and still am). Since none of them were touring at the time I had to open myself up to other musical outlets. One tour that always came calling every summer that I saw was the Dave Matthews Band.
It's hard to capture that kind of vocal quirkiness and also pull it off in a place where you have a tiny space to set the tone, but Will Taylor managed to make his moment meaningful. During his prestigious performance he played in the place that he had craftily created, both bringing back musical memories for me while conveniently creating new ones. He sounded so similar to something I'd seen, yet brought a brand new backdrop to it. He was a live, living, paradox player.
Will Taylor listened to his first KISS record, fell in love with rock n' roll, and started playing guitar around the advantageous age of 12. His dad showed him seven chords and from there Will listened and learned by ear. At the age of 17 Will decided to add another part to his guitar playing and so he started singing. Although he admits singing somewhat stunted him from growing on the guitar, it did expand his repertoire reach and helped his musical horizons as he also started listening to the likes of Pearl Jam and DMB.
Sara Fincham: You mentioned you were a Dave fan. I'm sure several people have told you how similar you can sound to him? Is that on purpose, do you try to mimic his music vocally, or is your voice just more secure singing that style?
Will Taylor: The first artists that I ever covered were Dave Matthews and Eddie Vedder, so my voice was molded around them. I never took vocal lessons, I just kept singing along with my favorite songs and eventually learned how to control my voice and learned how, well, to sing.
SF: My e-mail, which I haven't changed since high school, includes the word "strutter." I, also, am a KISS fan! What songs did you start playing by them, and what specifically about them got you into guitar?
WT: When I was younger I didn't listen to much rock until I heard my first KISS cd, which was the mtv unplugged cd. From that point on I started to buy every KISS cd and I fell in love with the energy and excitement and plus they were loved by the women and I wanted to be also, so I figured if I start singing and playing I can be more like that! So I started playing and it wasn't til later on that I started singing. I couldn't hit the Paul Stanley high notes so I stuck to guitar at first!
SF: You've played out at a few places – is that an important aspect of artistry for you, sharing it, and did you have a good first show? Were you nervous, can you walk us through that memory?
WT: I love to play out, although I get very nervous it truly takes me to another world. I played for friends and at parties for a while before, but my first time "out" was at Down on Main Street about 8 years ago. I played 2 songs and went down the street to Larry's Sundown Club for seconds. I could not get enough!
SF: You mentioned a few of your influences – what are you currently listening to and why?
WT: I am currently listening to Kings of Leon, Shinedown, Seether, etc.. A lot of more modern rock. I really appreciate the love of music that they all show. Their commitment and energy really just gets me going.
SF: You make setting the tone of your performances seem so easy and eloquent. You create an atmosphere as soon as you sit down to sing. Is that intentional, the mood you make, or does it just come naturally?
WT: When I first get up to play I am so nervous that I kind of slip into a musical coma. I go some place else. I guess setting the tone comes almost without thought. I just do my thing and hope people like it. Also, I try to stay very humble and appreciative. As long as I keep that frame of mind my presence and performance stays very real.
SF: How has music helped you – what options does it open up for you that you couldn't fathom without it?
WT: Music keeps me alive. It calms the savage beast. No matter how high or low I am feeling music always brings me back to ground level. Plus, I have met some really great people from playing out and through music none of this would be possible for me.
SF: Coming from a cover song kind of capability, when you make your own music, is there ever a question of "who is Will Taylor and what music would he make?" Does that make sense? Do you struggle finding your own voice, I suppose is what I'm asking, when you're writing your own songs instead of singing someone else's?
WT: I am very critical of my music due to how I view the way that so many bands have changed the face of musi – Pearl Jam, The Beatles, etc.. I guess I am sort of a dreamer too. I have about 20 original songs recorded of which only 6 or so that I actually consider to be good, but due to my critical thought and constant comparing I have many more that I keep to myself. I want it to be more than just an original song. Music, to me, is all about emotion – if I can't convey and relate that in my music than to me it is nothing more than just scrap. I dont want to write a song just to say I did, I want it to mean something not so much to me but to the listener. Of course I am influenced by the music that I love but I try very hard to not be exactly like it.
SF: Do you have any upcoming shows you'd like to promote?
WT: I am playing at Jerry's Bar in McMechen tonight from 9:30 – 1:30 and at Generations on May 2nd from 9 -12!

'A lot of people are not happy' – Exclusive: McLeish verdict on latest Celtic meltdown
Russell Edge speaking to Alex McLeish
2nd December 2020 at 5:00pm
Alex McLeish has claimed the impressive form of Rangers will be having a big impact on Neil Lennon and the dressing room as the Celtic season continues to unravel.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider assistant editor Russell Edge, the former Gers and Scotland boss revealed the sleepless nights he suffered at Ibrox when the Bhoys were the in-form side during his spell at Ibrox.
Current Celtic boss Lennon is under growing pressure at Parkhead after a dire run of form for the Hoops which included a shock defeat to Ross County in the Scottish League Cup on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Rangers have remained unbeaten across all competitions and have dominated the Premiership title race.
Steven Gerrard's men are also well-placed to progress to the knock-out stages of the Europa League, a feat Celtic will be unable to match this season.
McLeish has insisted that the Gers' performances will not have gone unnoticed at Celtic Park and suggested Lennon would be feeling added pressure as a result.
Asked if Rangers' form would be having an impact in the Parkhead dressing room, McLeish told Football Insider: "Yeah, I certainly know how I felt as a manager when the rivals were doing extremely well and you were struggling, it was pretty tough times.
"We say things like it's a disaster and things like that but when we go through something like Covid-19, then these are disasters. We tend, as football people, to go: "Argh, it's the end of the world," but it's not.
"That's the thing Celtic have to believe in and if Neil's the man to go forward then the board obviously have a bit of belief in him, but tough times and I know what it's like – sleepless nights if you're somebody who cares.
"Sometimes I wish I was a bit delusional and could go: "Argh, it's okay, it's no problem," but because you do care about the whole situation.
"You know that a lot of people are not happy and you have made them unhappy and it all kind of lands on the gaffer. I totally empathise with Neil."
In other Celtic news, a Football Insider pundit claims a bust-up is at the heart of the Hoops' decline.

Il Memorial Van Damme 2009 è stato la 33º edizione del Memorial Van Damme, annuale raduno di atletica leggera, e si è svolto dalle ore 19:00 alle 22:00 UTC+2 del 4 settembre 2009 presso lo Stadio Re Baldovino di Bruxelles. Il meeting è stata la sesta e ultima tappa della ÅF Golden League 2009.

Programma
Il meeting ha visto lo svolgimento di 17 specialità, 9 maschili e 8 femminili: di queste, 5 maschili e altrettante femminili erano valide per la Golden League.

Svolgimento
Il tempo non è stato clemente, con una temperatura di circa . La pioggia, caduta copiosa dalle fra le ore 20:00 e le 21:00, ha condizionato le competizioni, specialmente i salti e i lanci, che erano nel pieno dello svolgimento.. Nonostante le condizioni avverse, Usain Bolt, dominando i 200 m, ha ottenuto un tempo di 19"57, quarta prestazione di sempre, mentre l'astista russa Elena Isinbaeva, dopo aver vinto la gara con un solo salto a 4,70 m ed essersi così assicurata la vittoria della Golden League, ha provato - senza successo - la quota di 5,07 m, che le avrebbe valso il miglioramento di un centimetro del record stabilito sette giorni prima al meeting di Zurigo.

La squadra keniana, in apertura di meeting, ha battuto il record del mondo della staffetta 4×1500 m, con il nuovo limite di 14'36"23; il precedente limite era di 14'38"80, fissato da una formazione della Germania Est a Colonia nel 1977 e rappresentava il più vecchio record del mondo di atletica non ancora battuto.

Al termine delle competizioni si è svolta la cerimonia di premiazione di Elena Isinbaeva, Sanya Richards e Kenenisa Bekele, che - vincendo tutte le tappe della Golden League 2009, hanno conquistato il jackpot consistente in 333.333 dollari.

Being a foreigner in China is a true experience that will open your eyes. China is so specific in terms of its culture and its way of life. In certain areas of China, the general public will have never seen a foreigner before, so don't be surprised if they give a little gaze, in most cases they are simply astonished. Some may even ask to take pictures with you, so take in the moment to be a "celebrity"!
It's always good to do some research before going on a trip to China. China's Orientalism and culture is extremely different to that of the Western.
For example, you will quickly see people spitting everywhere (even indoors, or on the metro), many public bathrooms with no toilet paper (even in restaurants), and squatting toilets are extremely common, and often without doors… In regards to food, there are many safety issues such as the quality and freshness of the product which many people are becoming more aware of.
The culture of family China is extremely important. Chinese parents care about not only their child, but their grandchild, and so on. Thus, the idea of respect and appreciation is strongly looked upon. Being respectful to the elderly in particular, as it is considered that the elderly are the ones whom are more experienced and will only give you advice for your own good.
As a foreigner, there are restrictions such as important administration work, money conversion restrictions, or the need to complete registrations if you are leaving a Chinese city (even just for the weekend). Sometimes it may feel that government and law are catching up to you, but as long as your organization is on top, there will be no problems.
China has many International schools, perfect for expats living in China. In recent years, the Chinese government has pushed its schooling and education system towards higher levels of quality.
Some international schools include: Shanghai American School, Wuhan South Lake International School, and Shenzhen QSI International School. These schools allow for not only better education, but also brings opportunities for families and students whom are driven for better education.
6. Do I need to learn Chinese?
Yes, you do. Learning the Chinese language, even just a little bit, will be useful for your time in China. As English is rarely spoken, knowing the language will be beneficial for day-to-day activities such as ordering food, taking a cab, or going shopping.
Moving to China is an adventure. From finding apartments and dealing with landlords, to getting a bank account set-up and finding your way around the city.
One thing you must learn is to negotiate. Everything is based on negotiation, ie. renting an apartment, and always be sure to have contracts signed and confirmed before agreeing to anything.
China is a country of opportunities, business, and tourism. For English natives, teaching English has become a common career for many travellers who visit, and eventually decide to stay. Many countries hire foreign teachers to teach English, whether at schools or private institutions, therefore making job out of your language potential has been very common and rewarding.
For foreigners, you will be advised to go to an International hospital. In general, medical fees in China are expensive, therefore it will be easy for doctors to understand you. Also, consider taking on a health insurance before departure from your home country.
Chinese culture is not only very specific, but is also rich, complex, and ancient. Visiting historical places such as Beijing's 'Forbidden City' or 'The Great Wall of China' have been tourist favourites. Try out traditional Chinese food such as Beijing's Roast Duck, or Xiao Long Bao, will expose you to cuisines delicacies. China is all about their culture, and in order to experience it, you must bring yourself here!

Vietnam's former capital, Huế, is where you will find the country's very own Forbidden City, aka The Citadel.
Heading to Hanoi? Here are things you shouldn't miss from our first-hand experience. Video included!
Hue Cycling brought us around the city for half a day. The best thing to explore a town is through a bike/motorbike because you get to see things that aren't presented to you. We cycled 7 km away from town to the countryside, through temples, rice fields, and Than Toan Bridge.
You are here probably because you saw our CÀ PHÊ TRỨNG aka Egg Coffee video from our Facebook page. As we joined a cooking class in Hanoi, we got a hold of the most authentic way of making a cup of Egg Coffee that we'll be sharing with you guys right now. You'll thank us later.
Last July 2017, we partnered up with Apron Up for a cooking class. The menu was pretty simple, it's the best Hanoi has to offer. Bun Cha (Grilled Pork Noodles), Pho Bo (Beef Noodle Soup), Nem Ran (Fried Spring Rolls), Nom Du Du (Green Papaya Salad), and Ca Phe Trung (Egg Coffee).
