Palestine secures seat in UNESCO despite US threats
The majority of delegates greeted news of Palestine's accession to UNESCO with a standing ovation.
Palestine has been granted membership of UNESCO after 107 out of 173 members in attendance voted in favor of its accession, with 14 against. Israel says it is now considering a complete break in relations with Palestine.
Two thirds of the delegates present and voting had to support the motion for it to be approved. With 52 members abstaining, Palestine needed 81 votes to be admitted.The US, Canada, Germany and Israel were among those who voted against the Palestinian bid. Russia, China and France voted in favor. The UK was among the countries who abstained.Washington says that the move to admit Palestine violates UNESCO's own rules. After Palestinians were granted membership in Unesco, the US State Department confirmed it would cut $60 million in funding for the UN's body in November.Israel's Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, says Israel opposes any bid by Palestine to join the UN body."My recommendations are clear to the limit," Israel's Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman stated. "We need to weigh the possibility of rupture of all relations with Palestine… We can't stand their one-sided steps time after time," he added.Israel has warned that a UNESCO yes vote would harm efforts to secure a peace agreement between the two sides."This is a unilateral Palestinian maneuver which will bring no change on the ground but further removes the possibility for a peace agreement," AFP quoted Lieberman as saying. Palestine will receive full membership after signing and ratifying UNESCO's Constitution. It is to become the organization's 195th member.It will be the first time Palestinians have achieved full membership status of a UN body."This vote will erase a tiny part of the injustice done to the Palestinian people," Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki told the UNESCO meeting in Paris, after the result was announced, AFP reported.The vote was called a month after Palestine submitted its statehood bid to the UN General Assembly. However, the Palestinian authorities say the two are not connected."We turned to UNESCO with a bid 22 years ago," Palestine's Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said in an address to the organization's general conference in Paris.At the same time, RT's correspondent Daniel Bushell says "Today's vote does bring Palestine a step closer to full membership in the UN."
Sabri Saidam, an advisor to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, told RT that Monday's vote was a "rehearsal" for a "bigger battle" which ended with an "excellent victory.""Indeed, this has been a moral exercise, but that's been a scenario that has been long considered all the way through as a preparatory measure for the bigger battle to come," Saidam said. "And that battle is going to take place, and is taking place, at the Security Council. Indeed, this is a rehearsal and that rehearsal culminated with the excellent victory today."He said that the next step is to "convince those who have opposed the Palestinian motion" as well as the Security Council to "look to the future" and accept that the stability of the region will have to be based on justice for the Palestinians and an end to the occupation. "Without that, the sustainability of the status quo is beyond comprehension," Saidam declared.
UNESCO is the first organization working under the UN's aegis to recognize Palestine's right to statehood. A number of countries, including the United States and Israel, objected to such a move.Earlier on Monday the US, which provides more than one fifth of UNESCO's budget, said it would curb its donations, should Palestine be elected as a member. Israel announced a similar move.Both countries are strong opponents of international recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state. The US, which wields a right of veto in the UN Security Council, said it would use it to block any resolution which would grant such recognition.

Only post workout protein source you should be looking at. Bar none!!
Great protein. Does what it claims to do. Mixes absolutely well. Tastes great. No bloated feeling. Only gains. What else can we expect? I'm going for more.
Anything you mix it in. Juice or whatever it mixes without hassle.
I have been using this protein for 2 months now and am happy with it. I use flavdrops with it ( 4 drops are enough) but even without it taste is ok. Mixes well with water. I can't say that it is solely responsible for my improvement as I use various other products but would like to believe it does what MyProtein say it does. Most important is that my stomach takes it ok as a few other myprotein proteims gave me issues.
I've not had this product for long enough yet to judge its effectiveness but it is very easy to mix and creamy and pretty much tasteless; this makes it very useful to use as a supplement to other foods too. Add to all this, the fact that you can easily mix the required scoop and a half to no more than 150ml of water and you've got a very powder. Why people moan about the taste of a powder when it is drunk in such small quantities and for such a minuscule period of time in one's life I'll never know. And whoever said this tasted "bitter" is just plain lying. For me - results all the way; taste - unimportant. The icing on the cake is the price.So low that I am truly wondering whether this really IS hydrolysed protein? Hmmm!!!
This is a very quick release protein. I use the non flavoured version and add flav drops. It is mixing great and does not give me tummy problems like some other powders.
Effective protein that really works. Good taste of concentrating milk. Mixes well. I use lactose free milk.

Olivia Newton-John Dead at 73
Mike Nied
Mike Nied Published: August 8, 2022
Olivia Newton-John, the legendary singer and actress responsible for hits such as "Physical" and the classic musical Grease, has died. She was 73.
Newton-John's husband John Easterling confirmed the news with a post on the star's official Facebook page Monday (Aug. 8).
"Dame Olivia Newton-John (73) passed away peacefully at her Ranch in Southern California this morning, surrounded by family and friends," the statement reads, requesting privacy and respect for Newton-John's family at this time.
"Olivia has been a symbol of triumphs and hope for over 30 years sharing her journey with breast cancer," the statement continues. "Her healing inspiration and pioneering experience with plant medicine continues with the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund, dedicated to researching plant medicine and cancer."
Read the full statement below:
TMZ confirmed the news Monday afternoon. An official cause of death has not yet been confirmed. However, a source who spoke to the outlet implied Newton-John passed away as a result of cancer.
The international icon was first diagnosed with the disease in 1992. She underwent a partial mastectomy at the time. Although she went into remission, she relapsed twice over the years — in 2013 and 2017, according to TMZ.
Her most recent relapse forced her to postpone several tour dates. Her Grease co-star John Travolta threw his support behind the icon at the time.
"I'd like to express my gratitude to all of you who sent such kind and loving messages of support over the past few months," she said the same year. "Your prayers and well wishes have truly helped me, and continued to lift my spirits."
On Monday, Travolta took to Instagram to react to the news of Newton-John's passing.
"My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better," he wrote alongside a photo of the star. "Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever!"
Newton-John is survived by daughter Chloe Lattanzi, 36; husband Easterling, 70; a brother and sister; and multiple nieces and nephews.
Lattanzi honored her mom in a post on Instagram just days before the icon's passing.
"I worship this woman. My mother. My best friend," she captioned a photo of her and her mother. She uploaded a gallery of additional photos after the news of Newton-John's death broke.
Newton-John's last post on Instagram was a throwback of her posing with a radiant smile. It was simply captioned with a red heart emoji and the #FlashbackFriday hashtag.
Newton-John collected four Grammys and 12 nominations over the years. One of her biggest hits as a solo artist, "Physical," as awarded the Grammy for Video of the Year in 1983.
She was renowned in the '90s for speaking publicly about her experience with cancer, according to People. Her successful career as a musician started more than two decades before her diagnosis.
As an actress, Newton-John is most easily recognized for her work as Sandy in 1978's Grease. The musical features timeless hits including "Summer Nights," "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "You're the One That I Want." She also starred in 1980's Xanadu and guest-starred on Glee.
The star's family has asked for donations to be made to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation.

Where will you go when you die? What if someone offered you a safe, reliable method for exploring for the truth about the afterlife on your own? Would you grab the opportunity to find out for yourself? The Afterlife Knowledge Guidebook is just such an opportunity.
Bruce Moen is a seasoned afterlife explorer. He insists that despite our beliefs to the contrary, discovering the truth about our afterlife through communication with the deceased is really quite easy.
Trained as an engineer, Moen has created a systematic yet simple set of concepts, techniques, and exercises that people around the world have successfully used to gather their own firsthand evidence about the afterlife through contact and communication with the deceased.
If you can find a way to communicate with a person known to be deceased, and gather information from this person that you can have no way of knowing except by this contact, and if this information can be verified to be true, accurate, and real, then you have gathered evidence that this person continues to exist beyond death. If you continue gathering such evidence, the weight of it will lead you to the truth.
You no longer need to take anyone else's word for the truth about our afterlife. The Afterlife Knowledge Guidebook gives you the tools to experience the afterlife and discover the truth for yourself.
Imagine how your life will change when you know beyond all doubt that you are an eternal being, a being who never dies.


Eluding is a dangerous crime. If you are charged with Eluding in New Jersey, the first thing you should do is hire a New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyer. We know how to protect your rights.
Maybe you drove through a red light without realizing it. Next thing you know, you have a police car flashing its lights. You panic and drive off.
When a police car is chasing you with sirens and flashing lights, it's easy to get scared. You are not a criminal but you are being charged with the crime of Eluding.
Why resign yourself to having a criminal conviction? A criminal conviction will follow you around for years. As Eluding Defense Lawyers in New Jersey, we known how to defend your rights. We make it our mission to get the you the best possible results.
The New Jersey criminal court system is complicated. Click here to learn more about New Jersey's Criminal Process.
It is not easy fighting Eluding charges & this is why you need competent Eluding Defense Lawyers. We have fought many Eluding cases and have either won the case or got the charges reduced. To win an Eluding charge, the government needs to prove that you were aware that an officer signaled you to stop and that you "knowingly" fled or tried to flee.
Frequently a criminal complaint for Eluding will also include charges for Resisting Arrest & Obstruction of Justice. In almost every case, the officer will issue several traffic tickets. In many cases, a charge for Eluding will accompany Drug Charges, or other criminal charges.
If you receive a complaint for Eluding, call us. We are experienced in dealing with the police and the prosecutor's office. We know how to represent you. Take advantage of our Free Consultation.
Driving in New Jersey can be hazardous. New Jersey is known for its crowded roads, countless intersections, and confusing signs. Sometimes you are so focused on the road that you do not realize that a police car is following you.
You honestly never saw the police officer signal you to stop. After some time passes, you pull over are expecting a traffic ticket. Next thing you know, you get a criminal complaint for Eluding simply because the officer believes that you did not pull over soon enough. Did you try to get away because you had Drugs in your car?
Or maybe you did know that there was an officer signaling for them to stop, but you had a suspended driver's license and tried to get away. A bad decision quickly turns into a criminal charge.
Whether the alleged Eluding was accidental, or intentional, it is our job to defend you.
According to New Jersey Law, Eluding means a person driving a vehicle receives a signal to come to a complete stop and does not stop. The important part of the charge is that the person "knowingly" fled or attempted to flee.
Eluding is a crime of the third degree.
If someone dies or is injured by the Eluding.
If the Eluding created the risk of bodily injury or death to a person.
Sometimes a reckless driving ticket, or a Driving While Intoxicated ticket (DWI) is issued to the driver, in addition to an Eluding charge. The prosecutor may say that the ticket proves that the driver created a risk of bodily injury or death. Then the Eluding charge becomes a second degree crime.
Click here to learn more about How Crimes Are Graded in New Jersey.
Penalties for Eluding Under New Jersey Criminal Laws?
An Eluding charge as a third-degree crime is an indictable offense. The possible state prison term is from 3 to 5 years. There is also a mandatory driver's license suspension of 6 months to 2 years.
The good thing is that third-degree crimes have what is known as a presumption of non-incarceration. This means that, if convicted, and depending on your criminal record, the judge will consider other punishments first, such as probation, before prison time.
Another benefit is that if you do not have a criminal record, you may be a candidate for Pretrial Intervention (PTI). With PTI, while you will be on probation for a period of time, if you successfully compete the probation, the charges will be dismissed.
A second degree Eluding charge is more serious. The possible state prison term is from 5 to 10 years. There is also a mandatory driver's license suspension of 6 months to 2 years.
Unlike Third-degree crimes, a Second-degree charge has a presumption of incarceration. The prosecutor will usually ask for prison if the defendant is convicted.
Do you really need an Eluding Lawyer?
If you want to "just get it over with" you will be making a big mistake by pleading guilty. The record of this conviction may stay on your record for 5 years or more depending on the facts of your case.
Why play around with your future, and possible your freedom?
We are here to help people. We will answer all your questions and prepare a strategy for your case. You have nothing lose…it's free.

Ex-US Military advisor Says Iraq will haunt the West
July 16, 2012 uhm One comment
Iraq war will haunt west, says Briton who advised US military
Nick Hopkins, defence and security correspondent
guardian.co.uk, Sunday 15 July 2012 16.40 BST
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jul/15/iraq-war-briton-us-military
A British woman who worked at the top of the US military during the most troubled periods of the Iraq war has said she fears the west has yet to see how some Muslims brought up in the last decade will seek revenge for the "war on terror".
Speaking for the first time about her experiences, Emma Sky also questioned why no officials on either side of the Atlantic have been held to account for the failures in planning before the invasion.
Sky, 44, was political adviser to America's most senior general in Iraq, and was part of the team that implemented the counterinsurgency strategy that helped to control the civil war that erupted in the country. The appointment of an English woman at the heart of the US military was a bold and unprecedented move, and it gave her unique access and insights into the conduct of one of the most controversial campaigns in modern history.
In all, the Oxford graduate spent more than four years in Iraq, including a spell as civilian governor of one of its most complex regions. She met Tony Blair and Barack Obama in Baghdad and earned the trust of senior Iraqi officials, as well as many of the country's leading politicians and community leaders, some of whom remain her friends.
Now back in London, Sky has been reflecting on her time in Iraq in a series of interviews with the Guardian. She expressed concern about the effects this period has had on the Arab world, and how some of the mistakes made in Iraq appear to have been repeated in Afghanistan.
But Sky also defended the military and the senior commanders she worked with, who, she said, did everything they could to retrieve the situation.
She argued politicians and government officials on both sides of the Atlantic should have been held responsible for the decision to go to war, and the lack of strategy and planning for its aftermath – the consequences of which are still being felt.
A lack of understanding of the Arab world also meant the west struggled to grasp why it had provoked so much violence, and who was responsible for it.
"We've been fighting the war on terror for 10 years" said Sky. "At times it seems we have been fighting demons. We behaved as if there were a finite number of people in the world who had to be killed or captured. And we were slow to realise that our actions were creating more enemies.
"It has been seen by many Muslims as a war on Islam. Now, we are saying, 'We've pulled out of Iraq, we are pulling out of Afghanistan, and it's all over now.' It may be over for the politicians. But it is not over for the Muslim world. Well over 100,000 Muslims have been killed since 9/11 following our interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, mostly by other Muslims.
"We have to ask ourselves, what do we think this has done to their world? And how will they avenge these deaths in years to come? It is not over for the soldiers who have physical injuries and mental scars, nor the families who have lost loved ones."
She added: "The world is better off without Saddam. But nobody has been held accountable for what happened in Iraq, and there is a danger that we won't learn the right lessons, particularly related to the limitations of our power.
"Politicians can still claim that Iraq was a violent society, or that Iraqis went into civil war because of ancient hatreds, or the violence was the inevitable result of the removal of Saddam, or that al-Qaida and Iran caused the problems. They distract from our own responsibility for causing some of the problems by our presence and the policies we pursued."
She said the focus on building up local security forces in Iraq and Afghanistan was not the right priority.
"We think it is about us, and it is about our security. But in the end, it is about their politics … success in Iraq was always going to be defined by politics. We needed a political solution, a pact, a peace."
Sky was one of the British volunteers who went to Iraq in the aftermath of the invasion to help the reconstruction effort being led by the Coalition Provisional Authority.
She was appointed civilian governor of Kirkuk, the oil-rich city in the north of the country, and impressed US commanders with the way she worked with an American brigade to bring stability to the region.
Her frankness about the problems facing the country, and the coalition's difficulties in dealing with them, did not deter the American military from recruiting her in 2007. She was made political adviser to General Ray Odierno, the US commander sent to Iraq to oversee the military "surge" – which involved 20,000 extra troops being sent to the country to stem the violence.
In 2008, Odierno succeeded General David Petraeus as overall commander of forces in Iraq. He asked Sky to return with him in the same advisory role. Odierno is now chief of staff of the US army and Petraeus is director of the CIA.
As a civilian member of Odierno's team, Sky accompanied him everywhere, and was given responsibilities that seem remarkable for a "foreigner". She witnessed some of the horrific violence that led to tens of thousands of Iraqis, and thousands of coalition troops, being killed. A number of people she considered friends – Iraqi and American – died in the fighting.
An Arabist who spent 10 years working in Jerusalem, Sky said: "I had worked in places overseas for a long time, but I had not worked with people who were then killed – sometimes due to their association with me. That first year in Kirkuk, I spent a lot of time with the provincial council and about a quarter of the people on the council were killed.
"There was always that sense that we had come into their lives and said, 'Who is going to stand up and serve their province?' and they had come forward, and some of them had been killed. If we had never come into their lives that might never have happened."

It's time to break up big tech, warns Artificial Intelligence pioneer – October 8, 2017
Saturday, October 07, 2017 by: JD Heyes
(Natural News) A pioneer in artificial intelligence says that the time has come to break up what he is calling "Big Tech" embodied by three principal AI leaders — Google, Facebook, and Apple — because they are becoming a "threat to democracy."
As reported by Axios, the remarks by Joshua Bengio, a leader in the field, a professor at the University of Montreal and a member of the "Canadian Mafia" that broke new ground in machine learning — which is the foundation of AI — are noteworthy because of his influence throughout the industry.
But they are also significant because he and many of his peers all lead or consult for Big Tech's AI programs.
"Concentration of wealth leads to concentration of power," he said, as Axios reports. "That's one reason why monopoly is dangerous. It's dangerous for democracy."
Bengio is a consultant for tech giant IBM. His colleagues Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun also consult for Big Tech — Google and Facebook, respectively. And a protege of Hinton, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, runs Apple's AI research program.
Since there are several companies involved in AI research, it's not likely they would be subject to the U.S. Constitution's prohibition on government-granted monopolies. But Bengio is correct in stating that the AI industry is becoming more concentrated.
In fact, Bengio said that continued concentration of resources, knowledge and talent among a few giant technology corporations is growing and that only government can act to prevent further consolidation. "We need to create a more level playing field for people and companies," Bengio told Axios at an AI conference in Toronto recently.
The site noted further:
In recent years, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft have amassed a towering lead in AI research. But now, they are subject to growing scrutiny because of their outsized influence on society, politics and the economy. I asked Bengio if the companies should be broken up. He harrumphed and responded that anti-trust laws should be enforced. "Governments have become so meek in front of companies," he said.
"AI is a technology that naturally lends itself to a winner take all," Bengio added. "The country and company that dominates the technology will gain more power with time. More data and a larger customer base gives you an advantage that is hard to dislodge. Scientists want to go to the best places. The company with the best research labs will attract the best talent. It becomes a concentration of wealth and power."
Bengio is only the latest to warn about the dangers of AI in general, let alone the concentration of AI knowledge and research. (Related: Artificial Intelligence 'more dangerous than nukes,' warns technology pioneer Elon Musk.)
But tech experts aren't the only ones warning about the rise of AI. Russia President Vladimir Putin recently predicted that whoever managed to perfect the technology could end up ruling the world. As reported by Robotics.news:
Addressing students last week, Vladimir Putin said that there are legitimate concerns about AI and that its development will produce "colossal opportunities and threats that are difficult to predict now."
Going further, Putin warned that "the one who becomes the leader in this sphere will be the ruler of the world."
He added: "Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia but for all of humankind."
Perhaps sensing the kind of power a company — or even a few companies — could amass if they became the first to fully develop AI, Putin warned that such technology should not become "monopolized" (sound familiar?), hinting that Russia would share the technology if it develops AI first.
"If we become leaders in this area, we will share this know-how with the entire world, the same way we share our nuclear technologies now," he told students around the country, via satellite link-up, as he spoke to them from the Yaroslavl region.
Frankly, I wouldn't buy that but the points are well-made: AI may become too powerful for one company — or three or four — to contain.

Бухуризаде Мустафа Ытри (имя при рождении Бухуризаде Мустафа-эфенди, около 1640—1711?) — османский ,  и каллиграф.

Биография
Точная дата рождения, происхождение и обстоятельства жизни композитора неизвестны. В качестве предполагаемой даты рождения называются различные годы между 1630 и 1640. Общепринятым местом рождения считается Стамбул. Также известно, что он носил титул мавлави.

Занимал должность музыканта при дворе султана. Ытри не только писал музыку, его перу принадлежит ряд стихов и диванов, но последние не сохранились.

Точная дата смерти Ытри не установлена, предположительно это произошло в 1711 или 1712 году, хотя существует гипотеза о более поздней смерти — в 1730 или 1731 годах.

Существует гипотеза, что Ытри был последователем религиозного ордена Мевлеви.

Всего Ытри написал более тысячи песен и инструментальных композиций, но сохранилось лишь около 40.

Память
Ытри изображён на выпущенной в 2009 году турецкой банкноте в 100 лир.

В честь 300-летия предполагаемой смерти Ытри Юнеско объявило 2012 год «международным годом Ытри».

В апреле 2016 года глава управления по делам религии Турции Мехмет Гёрмез заявил, что будет рассмотрено предложение о замене похоронного марша Шопена, исполняемого на похоронах, на произведение Ытри «Такбир» (молитва об усопших).

Biologist Builds Skills in Coding to Study Deep-sea Marine Animals
May 7, 2018Written by Sarah Dwyer
Kate Thomas, a Ph.D. student in Biology, was among 18 Duke University students who received Graduate Student Training Enhancement Grants (GSTEG) in 2017-18 from the Office of the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies for training beyond their core disciplines. Her faculty mentor is Sönke Johnsen. She shared an update:
GSTEG funding allowed me to spend two months working on an interdisciplinary project that was outside the scope of my dissertation research. I wanted to improve my skills in coding and computational modeling, so I proposed to undertake a coding-intensive research project to work with a detailed record of over 30 years of deep-sea observations at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
I was mentored by Steve Haddock (coauthor of the book Practical Computing for Biologists) and Anela Choy at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in working with huge datasets using computational tools. I spent two months in residence at MBARI using physical oceanographic data collected at sea to model light levels in the deep ocean and test how these correlate to patterns of animal distributions.
This project expanded the scope of my scientific training and how I think about my future research goals. In addition, it has turned into an ongoing collaboration across three institutions and a long-term effort to understand the variability of midwater light fields and their effects on deep-sea communities.
Thomas graduated this semester and will start a postdoc in August at the Natural History Museum in London.
About GSTEG
This internal funding mechanism from the Office of the Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies encourages doctoral and master's students to step away from their core research and training to acquire skills, knowledge, or co-curricular experiences that will give them new perspectives on their research agendas.

At Huttie, we're experts at commercial rooftop installations of solar PV, helping businesses and organisations to drastically reduce their energy bills, reduce their carbon footprint and securing them a more self-sufficient future. Our highly-skilled workforce has many years of experience in commercial solar PV installations, virtually replacing the need for daytime electricity from the National Grid.
Our engineers can design, build and install your business' new solar PV system, fixing it to your roof facing as close to south as possible to maximise the panels' exposure to energy from the sun. Solar PV produces electricity and this energy mixes with the energy that you gain directly from the grid automatically, with no moving parts or complex system controls, to operate your workplace autonomously and cost-effectively.
We aim to deliver excellence in both our installation methods and workmanship and the levels of health and safety we adhere to; working smarter with minimal disruption to your day-to-day business operations.
Solar PV can generate electricity even on a cloudy day, making it suitable for anywhere in the UK. It also delivers substantial financial returns for businesses via the UK government's Feed-in Tariff. The government pays you for every unit of solar electricity you generate, with annual returns of up to 15% in some cases. If you don't end up using all of the solar electricity you generate at your business premises you then have the option of selling any excess solar energy back to the grid.
Huttie engineers will not only provide full installation of commercial solar PV systems, they are available for maintenance, support and 24-hour emergency call-outs. This highly reliable form of renewable energy is here to stay and with solar panels capable of lasting up to 25 years, it's a great investment for any growing business.

What Proutists Should Learn from the Kibbutzim Cooperatives of Israel
by Thales José Carneiro Fortes Diniz Graduate in philosophy at the Federal University of Ouro Preto, Mastering at the Central University of Venezuela: philosophy. Summary: This paper describes the cooperative system called kibbutz in Israel, in order to answer questions about its origin and foundation, resources, social structure, and also highlight the goals, challenges, criticisms and the lessons that can be learned, including how to use economic and water resources. Keywords: Kibbutz, Zionism, Cooperatives. Introduction The cooperative system called kibbutz, plural kibbutzim, which in Hebrew means to gather is a cooperative model which first began forming in Palestine in 1904, following an expulsion wave—motivated by Russian Czarism—of Jews from various parts of mostly Southern Russia, Europe and the surrounding areas. Although the cooperative system exists around the world, in no other country has intentional collective communities played such an important role as with the kibbutzim in Israel; in fact, the very foundation of the Jewish state in 1948 completely depended on this social phenomenon. The population of most kibbutzim is between 200 and 600 members, with some as few as 100 or as many as 1000. They also hire workers and accept volunteers. In 2010 the cooperative factories and farms of 270 kibbutzim accounted for 9 percent of the total production of Israel, around 8 billion dollars of which 40 percent derived from agriculture worth over $1.7 billion. In this article we consider how the members live and work together and its significance for others cooperatives. Most of this information was obtained from former residents, some of whom spent much of their lives in the kibbutzim and have relatives who are still part of this system. Read More
From a Book to an Exciting Cooperative in Monterrey
[caption id="attachment_2421" align="alignright" width="199"] Proutist Universal, 2002[/caption] By Saul Escobedo
More than ten years ago, someone recommended a book to me: After Capitalism: Prout's Vision for a New World by Dada Maheshvarananda. The book was written in English, a language which I didn't know too well, but after thumbing through it, I decided to buy it.
The term "cooperative" in Monterrey, Mexico where I live, means a small convenience store at a public school where students can purchase primarily junk food if their parents send them off without a home-made lunch. Sometimes the word is also used to mean a pyramid scheme or something similarly dishonorable that no one should trust.
Until that moment I was a firm believer that the capitalist system represented the pinnacle of civilization. Suddenly "cooperativism" appeared to me as a viable alternative movement, upholding the values I've always embraced, including the wellbeing of every individual as well as of the entire community.

"Hugo Chávez Rewrote the Textbook for Social Change: Activists should learn from both his successes and failures"
by Dada Maheshvarananda From an impoverished family, Hugo Chávez joined the army for a chance to play baseball, but soon came to love the service that gave the opportunity for advancement to anyone based on hard work and performance. Disgusted by the corruption, censorship and human rights abuses of the Venezuelan government, the young officer started a secret organization in the military, the Bolivarian Revolutionary Movement-200 (MBR-200), to overthrow the dictatorship. As one of the most popular teachers in the Venezuelan Military Academy, he recruited young officers for ten years. Caught red-handed twice and brought before a tribunal for subversion, Chávez managed to brazenly talk his way out of the charges both times. He was so successful that by the time he led a coup d'état in 1992 to overthrow President Carlos Andrés Pérez, he had 130 officers and nearly 900 soldiers under his command, approximately ten percent of the Venezuelan military.
Though the rebels came within a few meters of capturing Pérez, they failed. The military high command arrested Chávez and ordered him to tell the rest of his men to lay down their arms. Wearing his military uniform and red paratrooper beret, this unknown lieutenant-colonel was put in front of live television cameras for 72 seconds so that he could order all his men to surrender. What he said electrified the nation. Invoking the liberation hero Simón Bolívar, Chávez assumed full responsibility for the failure, which almost no Venezuelan leader had ever done before. Then he said that the objectives of this movement were not achieved "for now". As he went to prison, he had suddenly become a national hero to millions who realized that these soldiers were not hungry for power, rather they were risking their lives to save their country. A group of 62 retired generals ran full-page advertisements in newspapers attacking the government and supporting the coup leaders. In his cell Chávez began receiving hundreds of letters a week from supporters.
Neohumanism In Action in Venezuela

A framework to be happy
The educational process is a holistic phenomenon, where external objectivity is transformed into internal subjectivity. It goes beyond the school walls, or the family environment, or any other human relations. It goes even beyond that, straight into our own beings; it involves the universe around us and the way our souls interact with it. It does not depend on a particular school approach either, it simply happens as life does.
The Neohumanist Education framework and its learning methods encompass this holistic vision – physical, mental and spiritual – and aim for the liberation of all from exploitation sentiments (such as geo-sentiment and socio-sentiment) in order to achieve a free human society, in harmony and love within our environment.

A Stainless World
Mr Narendra Sandhu
Mr Narendra Sandhu AGM, Domestic Sales, Gurgaon
When life throws lemons, some dodge them, some make lemonade, but only a marketing professional can make a business out of it! Meet Mr Narendra Singh Sandhu, a seasoned professional in Sales with over two decades of experience, who was instrumental in bringing the idea of our coveted Jindal Saathi seal to life. Did you know that he helped our company overcome infringement in the market? Find out in this month's Abhivyakti!
Tell us about your life before Jindal Stainless.
I enjoy cultural and regional benefits from two neighbouring states, Rajasthan and Gujarat. My roots are in Rajasthan, but I was born and brought up in Bhuj, Gujarat. I did my BTech in Mechanical Engineering from Ahmedabad, and then, proceeded to pursue MBA in Marketing from Baroda. My professional career started in 2001 when I joined Indian Dairy Machineries, a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board. I worked there for almost 3 years. Then, I worked for companies like Reliance Industries Limited for 4 years, Abellon Clean Energy for nearly 2 years, and a KPO company for another 2 years. With over a decade worth of experience by 2011, I gained expertise in the Sales and Marketing function, from back-end support to front-end sales by handling key account customers for all the companies. This journey took me through various phases of my career – from an amateur to an experienced professional who learned accountability and responsibility along the way.
How has the journey of Jindal Stainless been for you?
I joined Jindal Stainless in 2011 as an Associate Manager, and this has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life so far. I was entrusted to handle sales for Rajasthan independently, where the market presence of the company was low. I took this as an opportunity to prove my mettle and started building our reputation from the ground up with customer satisfaction as the primary objective. My team regularly visited the customers and worked tirelessly on their feedback. With commitment, dedication, discipline, and integrity, we penetrated the market segments of the likes of P&T, Holloware, and Trade with respectable figures like 2500 MT per month – a number which was far from reality at that time.
We acquired big-ticket customers along the way. Sun City Group is one such example. This would be my biggest achievement of working in Rajasthan, as the order value of 1000-1200 MT per month from a single client was a notable feat in FY2013. My bosses, Mr Payoj Jindal, Mr Vijay Sharma, and Mr Rajeev Garg have been supportive all along the way. They were the ones who recognized my potential and pushed me to excel beyond my capabilities. They gave me opportunities at regular intervals that I welcomed with open arms. After serving for 7 years in Rajasthan, I was called to the Gurgaon office as the P&T Segment lead. I got the opportunity to work with higher management and hone my skills in business analytics and strategy formation. The exposure that I got from Jindal Stainless is unmatched when compared to any other organisation that I have worked with.
Tell us about your most memorable moment here.
Being the segment lead, I was given the task of overseeing the pan-India profile of the Pipes and Tubes (P&T) segment, and working on the development of the P&T market in the country. To achieve this task, I was actively involved in promotional and co-branding activities with the help of regional teams. Implementation of Stainless Mart, our e-commerce portal, was one of the initial steps to achieve our target.
The main highlight of my career came in the year 2019- 2020 when we launched the Jindal Saathi Seal to mark the authenticity of our products. We were the first stainless steel manufacturing company in India to take up this initiative, and being involved in it from ideation to execution was like a dream come true for me.
The Pipes and Tubes segment was witnessing an increase in counterfeit products throughout the country as many manufacturers were misusing our company's name to sell low-quality counterfeit stainless steel. The result was dissatisfaction among our customers and trade partners, damaging the brand image.
I took it upon myself to overcome this challenge and with the help of my seniors, we came up with the co-branding scheme. Jindal Saathi seal proved to be a major point of differentiation between Jindal Stainless and its competitors. The co-branding scheme also helped us retain customer loyalty and develop a healthy ecosystem with our MoU partners. From conceptualizing to implementation, we faced a lot of challenges in terms of seal design, printing/embossing mechanism of seal on the pipe or coil, and reluctance by our own MOU partner to accept the co-branding Jindal Saathi seal since their brand name may subside. Despite all challenges, within 6 months we overcame all hurdles and launched this initiative. The co-branding scheme was such a hit that by mid-2020, our market share rose by over 35% in 2019.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Everybody is into sports and fitness, I was one of them too. However, I have always been fascinated by outer space since childhood. I have always been into science-fiction movies, astronomy videos, and documentaries. I also like to spend time with my family and friends when I'm away from the office.
What is your message to Jindal Stainless family?
One should always be committed, disciplined, and honest in their work. There should always be scope for process improvement, and the will to learn and grow to become a successful individual. For the seniors, know your team more than they know themselves, and help them become better versions of what they currently are. Share your experiences with your team and pass on the legacy to help them reach the top.

Why chickens? Vivid memories of holding chicks, collecting eggs and the rush of flapping feathers during the feeding or the slaughter are all part of it. In the darkness of the granary, I'd sit with the baby fluffballs, glowing orange under the heat lamp. They would later become hens, annoyed and indignant as I'd reach for their eggs in nests hidden around the farm. The final harvest would also create so many lasting impressions. A remarkable image of a headless chicken following me around and around in circles...even when I changed directions...is quite unforgettable. And so began the paintings.
Chickens started as a departure- a kind of comic relief from other compositions. The trip through Central and South America provided the spark to pursue them more fully. I found myself studying their vivid colouring and activity. Riding through a very remote orange dirt road, the only link between Manous and Belem, provided the backdrop to many more compositions.

Lessons in history on governance
Dr. Mohd Sani bin Badron
In this millenarian commemoration of Nizam al-Mulk (b. 1018), it is apt to quote his work Siyasat-nameh, which states that a leader "shall bring to pass that which concerns the advance of civilisation ('umran), such as constructing underground channels, digging main canals, building bridges across great waters, rehabilitating villages and farms, raising fortifications, building new towns, and erecting lofty buildings and magnificent dwellings; he shall have inns built on the highways, and educational institutions for those who seek knowledge; for which infrastructure the leader will be renowned forever; he will gather the fruit of his good works in the hereafter, and blessings will be showered upon him."
A priority of undertaking extensive public works is one of the salient features of this classic oeuvre on leadership ethics, also known in its alternative title Siyar al-Muluk.
This book is referred to internationally, and translated into French (1893), Russian (1949), Turkish (1954), German (1960), English (1960) and Arabic (1987). Hubert Darke's English translation The Book of Government has the following caption: "many of Nizam al-Mulk's findings are as pertinent to government (and people) today as they were 900 years ago."
The original Persian work was written in the year 1091 (39 chapters) and 1092 (11 chapters) intended as a Ruler's primer, of Sultan Malik-shah, who governed for 20 years an Empire which stretched from India to Egypt.
The astute writer was Nizam al-Mulk Abu 'Ali al-Hasan bin 'Ali, who was assasinated in 1092 when he was 74 years old. The book mirrors his vast experience in civil, fiscal and military services; Nizam al-Mulk was Prime Minister and Commander in Chief of the Saljuq Empire for over 30 years. And for the next 60 years after his demise, members of his family—nine sons and four grandsons—held those strategic financial, public or armed forces offices.
Historians celebrated Nizam al-Mulk's governance, who had administered Muslim lands with a far-reaching vision of rejuvenating inclusive Sunni polity, culture and intellectualism.
Nizam al-Mulk was fully conscious that it was not enough for a leader to have good morality. Besides honesty, a leader must possess competency, effectiveness, and efficiency towards achieving aims and objectives. Apart from undertaking extensive public works, Nizam al-Mulk's success are prominent in the following three social aspects:
First, the founding of a series of universities via waqf or Islamic endowment system. Fully equipped with scholarship grant and student financial assistance, innumerable colleges were established in major cities of Iraq, Persia and Jazirah, the northern area between the Tigris and Euphrates. Systematic studies of philosophy, the sciences, theology and law were taught in those educational institutions, aimed at training a body of reliable, Sunni-oriented officials who would run the great empire and thus further the progress of intellectual and socio-political revival. Their ethos and teachings were the accommodable Ash'ari kalam (school of theology) and Shafi'i legal school.
His most celebrated university college was the Baghdad Nizamiyyah, founded in 1067. As one profuse in charity, he was much sought after as a patron of arts and sciences, of scholars and metaphysicians. Appointment of university vice-chancellors was based upon their excellence and influence in the world of knowledge; among them the most notable were Abu Ishaq al-Isfarayini (theologian, jurist and traditionist) and Abu Hamid al-Ghazzali (theologian, legal expert, philosopher, Sufi and religious renewer).
Second, the general abolition of taxes—called mukus—that were unjust or unsanctioned by Religion and societal well-being, starting from 1086. This reflected a good tradition that took place 300 years before, during the leadership of Caliph 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz, who in 717 put an end to mukus, based on the statement of prophet Shu'ayb in the Qur'an, phohibiting an encroachment of people's cost of living: "… and do not deprive people of what is rightfully theirs, and do not act wickedly on earth by spreading corruption" (11:85;26:183;7:85-86). "What is rightfully theirs" refers to physical possessions as well as moral and social rights.
Qadi Abu Yusuf, who was the Chief Judge at the time of Abbasid Caliph Harun al-Rashid offered his analysis: before the time of Umayyad Caliph 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz, the country was less prosperous because people found no reason to be productive, as higher gains invite higher, unjust tax of all sorts. However, when the just policy of 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz was implemented, the people were filled with enthusiasm to be productive, as benefit of higher earnings returned to themselves. More interestingly, when productivity and earnings increased, the state's revenue as a whole increased as well.
Thirdly, earnestness to make the country safe from brigandage, and to diminish people's cost of living, as religious faith and practices were protected, knowledge and sciences were patronised, public property was distributed justly within the commonwealth, right of property was guaranteed, and fair tax was imposed in a proper manner. A decade after his initiatives were implemented, history books referred to "amazing security of the country and the low cost of living" (H. Bowen-C.E. Bosworth 1995).
Indeed, a truly renowned and blessed leader Nizam al-Mulk was.

Hominy (Spanish: maíz molido; literally meaning "milled corn") is a food produced from dried maize (corn) kernels that have been treated with an alkali, in a process called nixtamalization ( nextamalli is the Nahuatl word for "hominy"). "Lye hominy" is a type of hominy made with lye. [1] Place the dried hominy in a large bowl and cover it with an inch of water. Let it soak overnight (if you skip this step, it'll take longer for the hominy to cook). Drain the hominy, discarding.
Hominy is created from maize (also known as field corn), the type of corn behind beloved grain products like corn flakes and corn meal. It can't be enjoyed straight off the cob like sweet corn; instead the grain is processed to make it usable for cooking and eating. The chemical process that creates hominy is called nixtamalization, where the. Mexican Shredded Chicken Soup. 1 Rating. Award Winning Chicken Chili. 4 Ratings.

Hominy is a food made from kernels of corn that have undergone a special chemical process to make the grain more available for use in cooking and eating. The kernels are soaked in an alkali solution that removes the hull and germ of the corn, causing the grain to puff up to about twice its normal size, giving it the appearance of giant corn.
Hominy is basically dried corn that has been soaked in a mineral lime bath. Flickr: Edsel Little. This alkali process, known as nixtamalization, loosens the hulls from the kernels and softens the kernels themselves. The process can cause the kernels to double in size, which is why hominy can look a little scary.
Hominy is a corn product that is sold in whole and ground form. As a ground product, it may often be confused with polenta, cornmeal or cornstarch.However, hominy is different, as it's produced using a special process that makes it a lot more nutritious than the most other corn products.
Hominy is a great choice for those searching for gluten free food stuffs. Canned hominy is gluten free naturally. Being rich in carbohydrates, it is a great source of energy. Hominy is a great choice for people with celiac diseases. Low in sugar; Hominy holds only 3 grams of sugar in one cup. Excessive intake of sugar has harmful effect on health.
4. Blue Cheese Hominy Casserole. If you think casseroles can't be adventurous, you've never tried this. The bite of blue cheese, smokiness of paprika, and bounty of hominy are far from subdued. This vegetarian casserole is a tantalizing display of how you can take a humble dish and turn it into a show-stopping event.
Cooked hominy is about triple the size of a raw sweet-corn kernel, but has an unmistakably nutty-sweet "corn" flavor. You can buy and cook dried hominy the way you'd prepare dried beans, but.
Hominy is whole kernels of dried field corn (aka maize) that have been nixtamalized, a process that cooks have been doing since ancient times, starting with those living in what we now call Mesoamerica. The corn kernels are soaked in lye or lime solutions and then rinsed several times, which removes the hulls and turns the inner kernels tender.
Hominy is made from whole corn kernels that have been soaked in a lye or lime solution to soften the tough outer hulls, which are then removed. After soaking, the kernels are washed to remove the excess solution, the hull, and often the germ. You can find ready-to-eat hominy in cans, but we prefer the texture and flavor we get when we cook.
hominy, kernels of corn, either whole or ground, from which the hull and germ have been removed by a process usually involving a caustic agent. Hominy was traditionally prepared by boiling the corn in a dilute lye solution made from wood-ash leachings until the hulls could be easily removed by hand and flushed away with running water. In the modern commercial technique, the corn is boiled in.
hominy: [noun] kernels of corn that have been soaked in a caustic solution (as of lye) and then washed to remove the hulls.
5. Boil the hominy for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer it for 3 hours. Let the hominy cook at a full boil for about 10 minutes, then turn the heat down to medium-low or whatever temperature brings the water down to a simmer. Let the hominy simmer for about 3 hours or until it is tender.
Hominy, or hulled corn kernels, is the backbone of this Mexican posole soup (pronounced pho-soh-lay), which can easily be made vegetarian by using vegetable stock and omitting the pork. Either way.
Hominy is a grain, so while it's not packed with protein, it's low in fat and helps you get in those all-important whole grains. Nutritionally, it's pretty similar to corn. What makes it a better version of corn is the nixtamalization process which helps release more of its nutrients—niacin, or vitamin B3, gets separated from the corn so that.
Hominy definition, whole or ground hulled corn from which the bran and germ have been removed by bleaching the whole kernels in a lye bath (lye hominy ) or by crushing and sifting (pearl hominy ). See more.
Mix: In a medium sized bowl combine the hominy, sour cream, green chilis and Monterey jack cheese. Spread: Place in a lightly greased 2 quart casserole dish. Top: Sprinkle the top with the parmesan cheese. Bake: In a 350 degree oven bake for 1 hour or until golden and bubbly.
