A way back has many directions. It might take you straight back in time. It might make you turn to see the tattered back door, instead of the shiny front entrance. It can mean meandering down to the roots of something. Or just: To go back home. During my second semester at Sewanee: The University of the South, I got the chance to experience quite a few back roads. Literal ones like the dirt roads of the Mississippi Delta, metaphorical ones like the paths history leaves, visible in the Arts.
The first big road sign of the Easter Term 2011 for the German House and Department was the film festival Sewaneenale. Because of the high interest for German film during the Advent Term, I organized this one-week event simultaneously to the Berlinale, held in February. Accompanied by an informative brochure and glamorous gala events, classics like Lang's Metropolis to contemporary Fatih Akin's Soul Kitchen drew quite an amount of cinematic aficionados. Consequently, the red-carpet we unwound the opening night, stretched from past to present and hopefully into the future by continuing this newly-found tradition. Good luck for 2012 and "Action!"
A next stop on the way through spring was the Outreach Trip to the Mississippi Delta. The Delta is economically one of the poorest regions in the United States, and culturally one of the richest. Driving down to the Delta, to this unbelievably flat and unbelievably fertile patch between the Mississippi and the Yazoo River, is like driving down America's literary and musical memory lane. Elvis' front porch. Faulkner's living room. And finally, B.B. King's museum, our destination in Indianola, Mississippi. Here, we - a group of about 15 enthusiastic Sewanee students and their leader on Spring Break - were ready to be tutors during the museum's The Art of Living Smart, a vacation program for children from the Delta, ages 6 to 15. Swamped with the happiness and joy of our little friends and through meetings with many Mississippians, we experienced another rich side of the Mississippi Delta: hospitality and open hearts. And...good food! Ain't nothing you can't fry, precious.
To visit the Delta felt a bit like visiting the United States through its back door. A back door, around which the past problems of segregation still linger, but also a back door with enormously welcoming people and intriguing stories waiting behind its sagging hinges and torn door knobs. A region as a paradox, that makes you want to reiterate Martin Luther King's wish for little black children and white children playing together as brother and sister. A region where doors don't seem to matter because they are always open.
This trip to the Deep South went hand in hand with the courses I was taking in Sewanee this term, and thus was enriching on many levels. In American Literature of the South, for example, we read William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses, and many texts revolving around the Delta and various other places of the South, its plantations, poor farmers and rich cotton kings. And as birthplace of the Blues and crucial in the development of a genuinely American folk music, talking about the social and cultural structures of the South made up a huge part of our discussion in the American Popular Music class From Ragtime to Radiohead.
Music seems to be everywhere in the South. This statement has become even more evident after my second semester. In the Delta, we visited juke joints like Po' Monkeys, a little shack bumping with funky music in the middle of a field (It took us two days to find it!); blues bars like Morgan Freeman's Ground Zero (We missed the owner just by one day!); and an Afro-American church service with a powerful gospel choir and an ecstatic preacher (who was speaking in tongues, and therefore, I really think, the devil won't dare squatting in our souls again).
But not only listening to music and talking about it was part of my Sewanee experience, also making music was prevalent throughout my stay. I took fiddle lessons again in order to get further acquainted with traditional American fiddling, and the tunes going with it. The tunes sound very nice - if one can keep a steady bow, I admit. The voice lessons were another musical highlight. And at the end of the second term, a Broadway recital and a jazz band concert were waiting. This meant not only solo, but also duet rehearsals plus a little choreography. Indeed, I was dancing "Cheek to Cheek."
The theater class The Physical Actor: Form Neutrality to Clown also came right up my alley. Our group met once a week to experience mainly physical acting with wearing eccentric masks to wearing the littlest mask of all: the red nose. How better celebrating Tennessee Williams' 100th anniversary than taking an acting class in Sewanee's Tennessee Williams Center? By the way, through the literary royalties Williams donated posthumously to the university funds, he contributed to the center's construction.
Performance was also a central aspect of the Contemporary Art class. On our way through the art history of the last about 100 years, we followed the shift away from traditional figure-ground-relationships to a post-modern diversity of styles in the second part of the 20th century, among them performance art, video installations and the digital in film. This is where the second part of Film History: From Mid-Century to Present, a class I was auditing, tied in well with.
Little by little, the path of time led from spring into early summer. And before I embarked on my way back home to Germany, I had the chance to explore a few more back roads with some of the international and American students still on campus after Commencement Weekend. Together we hiked parts of the scenic perimeter trail circumscribing the Cumberland Plateau, on which Sewanee's campus is situated - voted most beautiful campus in the United States (True indeed!) - or visited two of the National Military Parks dealing with the still very present history of the Civil War.
With all the cultural impressions, riveting classes taught by enthusiastic professors and the wonderful experiences I shared with the members of the German House and the whole Sewanee community, this exchange year was a culturally and academically enriching, adventurous and joyful time. I would like to truly thank the VDAC and The University of the South for the opportunity, Frau Krause for her great advice and care, Professor Davidheiser and Professor Zachau and everybody at Sewanee who made this year as marvellous and unforgettable as it was.
As so many examples from history and literature have proven, some roads that start back then are invaluable for the future. Which direction they finally lead you? Who knows.

Mitsubishi Recommits to Fleet
October 31, 2012 • by Chris Wolski
The Outlander Sport (above) and i-MiEV may have different propulsion systems, but both deliver efficiency and cost savings to fleets, according to the automaker.
As Mitsubishi sees it, 2012 has been the perfect time to recommit to the fleet market.
This is a result of ongoing tight budgets, the search for innovative technology, and lower total costs of ownership that has made its vehicles attractive options for fleets, according to Joe Delello, director, Franchise Development and Corporate Fleet.
He noted the automaker's product line helps answer concerns about cost and efficiency, with the bonus of helping fleets meet their sustainability goals.
"Fleets, both in the public and private sectors, have applications that require four-wheel-drive capability, and most fleets are looking to reduce fuel consumption. Mitsubishi can meet both of those needs," Delello said.
Meeting Fleets' Needs
Delello pointed to three Mitsubishi models that offer fleets very specific answers to today's market, the Outlander family of CUVs and the i-MiEV.
"Fleets are downsizing out of full-size SUVs, and we offer our mid-sized Outlander crossover, and the fuel-efficient, redesigned Outlander Sport. And, with the focus on green technology, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV all-electric sedan is an excellent solution," Delello said.
The 2013 Outlander features a 168 hp 2.4L four-cylinder engine connected to a Sportronic CVT on the ES and SE models and a 230 hp 3.0L V-6 engine and Sportronic 6-speed automatic transmission combination.
The Outlander Sport is powered by a 148 hp DOHC 2.0L four-cylinder engine equipped with Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable valve-timing technology. In addition, the Outlander Sport includes numerous safety features and amenities, including Mitsubishi Motors' all-wheel control all-wheel-drive system, which is also found on the Outlander SE model.
Every 2013 Outlander model is certified as a low emissions vehicle (LEV) in all 50 states.
According to Delello, the Mitsubishi i-MiEV is particularly suited for urban and city applications.
"For any kind of local use — security patrol, municipal meter readers, mail delivery, and light maintenance — the i-MiEV is the perfect solution," he said.
The vehicle can accommodate four passengers, offers 13.5 cubic feet of cargo space, and gets 112 combined miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe).
The i-MiEV is only the beginning of the company's alt-fuel commitment. It plans to introduce several other alt-fuel vehicles in the North American market over the next several years, beginning with the planned introduction of a plug-in hybrid-electric version of the Outlander in 2014.
As an added benefit for fleet customers, the 2012 i-MiEV and 2013 Outlander and Outlander Sport each carry a $1,500 incentive per vehicle.
Partnership is the Theme
If there's a theme that sums up the Mitsubishi fleet program, it's partnership.
Delello noted the automaker has developed a fleet program and processes that will enable company representatives to work in partnership with dealers, fleets, and fleet management companies.
"Dedicated fleet professionals, both at our corporate offices in Cypress, Calif., and in the field, now have tools and programs that include our new automated ordering system, fleet incentives, and factory courtesy delivery assistance," he said. "Combined with vehicles that fleets want and need, we're confident that Mitsubishi has what the market needs," he said.
For Delello, a "Mitsubishi" fleet is "fuel efficient, hard working, and technologically world class."

Mad Max is based on an apocalyptic future, set in a the outback of australia where max is looking for petrol. The film is based around mad max and the biker gangs. The characters in the film where layers of leather and what looks like scraps of material and steal. Much of their clothing is protective clothing to protect them selves from other gangs.


We went for an early lunch at the Robin Hood Pub in Cherry Hinton, which has just been refurbished and changed to an 'Eating Inn', It was very different inside now the work has been done but a really really good job, it looks such a nice place to go now. We sat in the garden and enjoyed our lunch then drove over to the village of Abington, where we had a lovely walk across the beautiful park.
We paddled in the fresh stream which runs alongside the park, which was nice as it is so hot today. We hunted for bits and pieces of old pottery in the water and came away with some bits of old blue and white china which we'll stick on plant pots with plaster of paris at some point, when we've collected enough.
Then we went for a walk over to the pretty little church, there were cows right next to it which I'd have loved to stroke but they wouldn't come close enough. It's such a shame that you can't get into churches now and that most are locked - I know you can go and get the key usually but sometimes you just want to pop in to look around. Still we walked around it, the strange thing we noticed was there were hardly any gravestones at all there - I'll have to find out why.
Then a walk back to the car through this picture postcard village and we drove into Sawston.
We parked just off of the High Street and had a quick look at the newly restored Challis gardens and a peek at Challis House which it is hoped will be a new museum for Sawston some point soon.
We went on to a strange wood at the north west end of Sawston and went for a quick explore, I had flip flops on because I knew we were going paddling but I did a good job of dodging the nettles in the wood :) This was a really odd place, not sure we were even allowed in but there was an open place to get in by. It was very overgrown and seemed unmanaged but strangest of all was the weird old swamp in the middle - it definately looked like a natural traditional looking swamp - not what you'd expect to find in Sawston - I'd love to find out more about this strange place - who owns it, its history etc.

Willow Creek Association, Now Global Leadership Network
Overview of the Willow Creek Association and Willow Creek Community Church

Jack Zavada is a writer who covers the Bible, theology, and other Christianity topics. He is the author "Hope for Hurting Singles: A Christian Guide to Overcoming Life's Challenges."
The Willow Creek Association (WCA), which began in 1992 as an offshoot of Willow Creek Community Church, is now called Global Leadership Network (GLN). Since its founding, it has had two unexpected developments: Secular business leaders have come on board as speakers and advisers, and the group has become global in scope.
Also Known As: Global Leadership Network
Known For: A nonprofit worldwide network devoted to equipping and developing Christians to reach their full leadership potential through training and leadership conferences.
Founder: Bill Hybels
Founding: 1992, in South Barrington, Illinois.
Headquarters: South Barrington, Illinois.
Membership: More than 13,000 churches in 45 countries.
Leadership: Tom De Vries, President and CEO; Gary Schwammlein, President Emeritus; Steve Bell, Executive Vice President.
Mission Statement: "To inspire and equip world-class leadership that ignites transformation."
At the organization's annual Global Leadership Summit, held at Willow Creek Church in South Barrington, Illinois, speakers have included such secular leaders as Colin Powell, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Tony Dungy, Jack Welch, and Carly Fiorina. Religious leaders like Andy Stanley, Dallas Willard, T.D. Jakes, and Willow Creek founder Bill Hybels take the stage.
Mission to Pastors
The high-powered, multi-media summit is just one part of this nonprofit consulting group's mission to "inspire and equip Christian leaders to lead transformation-minded churches."
Much of Global Leadership Network's emphasis is on pastor growth—dealing with burnout, rekindling enthusiasm, exploring creativity, and developing the skills needed to make their churches relevant in a constantly changing culture.
Toward that end, Global Leadership Network offers a wide spectrum of professionally produced seminars, courses, videos and books on everything from managing stress to church finances.
While some conservative pastors have complained that a church cannot be run like a secular business, others welcome the resources, saying their seminary training prepared them well in theology but left large gaps in the practical side of pastoring.
Current Global Leadership Network membership exceeds 13,000 churches in 45 countries and represents 90 denominations. Training events are held in 250 cities in 50 countries each year. The membership fee is $299 annually.
Research-driven Materials
Global Leadership Network, like Willow Creek Community Church, is highly research-driven. Willow Creek pioneered the use of giant-screen TVs in its auditorium and makes heavy use of the internet and satellite TV to spread its message.
The Summit and conferences are broadcast to thousands around the world and translated into more than 30 languages.
One of GLN's programs, REVEAL, is based on thousands of survey responses from a wide variety of churches. That research says there are four stages in the spiritual journey:
exploring Jesus Christ,
growing in Christ,
close to Christ, and
Christ-centered.
Church leaders can administer the surveys in their own church to track members' growth and determine what needs to be done to keep people on course.
Willow Creek Community Church
Willow Creek Community Church (WCCC) was not the first nondenominational evangelical megachurch in the United States, but its reliance on market research and its seeker-friendly atmosphere were unique innovations. More than 21,000 people attend services each week.
Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, Illinois, USA. Willow Creek Community Church is a non-denominational Evangelical Christian megachurch located in the northwestern Chicago suburb of South Barrington. It was founded in 1975 and is one of the largest churches in the United States with about 25,000 attendees each weekend. Bruce Leighty / Getty Images
The church started as a youth group in Park Ridge, Illinois in 1975, led by Bill Hybels. It got its name when it began holding Sunday services at the Willow Creek movie theater. The youth group raised money by selling tomatoes and built a church in South Barrington, Illinois, the site of WCCC's main campus.
Willow Creek Community Church has services at seven locations in the Chicagoland area: the main campus in South Barrington including Casa de Luz; Willow Chicago; Willow Crystal Lake, Willow Huntley; Willow North Shore; Willow South Lake; and Willow Wheaton.
The governing body is a board of 12 volunteer elders, nominated by the church congregation. The board handles the financial, planning, and policy matters of the church, giving direction to the senior pastor, who manages his own staff.
In 2018, following allegations of sexual abuse, Bill Hybels stepped down as senior pastor. At present, Steve Gillen is the acting senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church.
Baptism - Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus Christ, symbolizing spiritual cleansing and newness of life. Baptism is a prerequisite for joining the church. Willow Creek practices believer's baptism, by immersion, of people who are age 12 and above. Baptisms are held on the stage, indoors, throughout the year, and in June in the lake on campus.
Bible - "We hold that the Scriptures, in their original manuscripts, are infallible and inerrant; they are the unique, full, and final authority on all matters of faith and practice. There are no other writings similarly inspired by God," Willow Creek Church teaches.
Communion - "Willow Creek observes communion (the Lord's Supper) monthly in obedience to Jesus' direct command and the example of the early church. Willow Creek believes the communion elements (bread and juice) represent the broken body and poured out blood of Christ on the cross," according to a statement from the church website. Communion is open to anyone who has personally made a decision to trust and follow Christ.
Eternal Security - Willow Creek holds that the Bible assures that God will continue his saving work in each believing human forever.
Heaven, Hell - Willow Creek's Statement of Faith says, "Death seals the eternal destiny of each person. All humanity will experience a bodily resurrection and a judgment that will determine the fate of each individual. Having rejected God, unbelievers will suffer eternal condemnation apart from Him. Believers will be received into eternal communion with God and will be rewarded for works done in this life."
Holy Spirit - The third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, enlightens sinners on their need to be saved, and guides them in understanding and applying the Bible to live a Christ-like life.
Jesus Christ - Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, was born of a virgin and died on the cross as a substitute for all people, bringing salvation to all who trust in him alone. Today the Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of God the Father as the only intercessor between humans and God.
Salvation - Salvation is solely a work of God's grace toward humans and cannot be achieved by works or goodness. Each person can be saved by repentance and faith.
Trinity - God is one, true and holy and consists of three equal persons (the Trinity): Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God created the world and everything in it and sustains it through his providential power.
Worship Service - Willow Creek's worship services have been guided by surveys, market research, and the "felt needs" of members of the congregation. Music tends to be contemporary, and dance and other art forms are incorporated into the experience. Willow Creek does not have a customary preaching pulpit or traditional church architecture, and there are no crosses or other religious symbols.

The ever popular Baller Bude server, operated & maintained by our good buddy TheDoctor, is celebrating it's 2nd birthday November 9th. Head on over to THIS THREAD to participate in the poll, get some additional info, & there's a special link if you hurry. Happy B'day BB!
SG level designer Pardner has been working hard on his new map Death Valley Mine & it is coming along nicely. With any luck, this will be included in the next release. Head on over to his WIP thread for general info, videos & screenshots. Looking good Pard!
What you won't see in that vid is the hours & hours of learning that goes into level design.
Quote by Pardner: "In this map, I could not get good looking terrain and rock walls. So I stopped and took a 5 year break."
I'd like to remind everyone that LuckyGenDago has a dedicated TeamSpeak server running just for Smokin' Guns fans with plenty of user slots, so hop in & say howdy!
Lastly, a new forum section has been created to showcase videos of SG in action. Check out The Silver Screen for fan made films in all their glory!
Finnally new maps in sg.
There has been many complaints on the IoQ3 engine sites about the mouse changes. Add that to the changes to the spread and many SG players are even more angry Just remember, everybody is playing with the same changes.
Well, maybe it was a graphics driver issue. I just updated my nvidia driver (on debian based 64 bit linux) yesterday, and my whole system is snappier.... I just played a quick round on RawHide, and things definitely seemed better than I remember last time I played..
Aeh, my mapping project will be ready soon, I think the map will be a great one. Is 1 week enough to make it ready? and maybe it can get included then also? More Maps = more Fun!
Really kool vid- what is that.. like 2000 hours?
Chico!!! long time, no TS!
Well, the video is at 10x speed so its about an hour or so actual video. Of course I didn't record all my mapping time either Thanks for the comments, I hope to get a beta out soon.
Did you delete it on purpose or accidentally?

I don't know what happened to it. We'll have to get our web admin to look into this.
Website snafu I guess. All posts were lost I created a new forum. So if you have any videos, fell free to post them again.


The Tavoyan Women's Union (TWU) is a non-profit organization that was previously based in the Thai-Burma border town of Mae Sot with the aim of promoting a peaceful, justice, equality and liberated society in Burma, through capacity-building of young women activists. While vast strides have been made since 2011, TWU recognises that sustainability of women's political participation at the national and sub-national level must be a priority in the democratization process. Understanding the barriers to women's participation in leadership positions in politics is crucial to improving their participation. With support from the P4P programme, TWU is conducting qualitative research on this topic in the Tanintharyi region. By speaking to women who have undergone the process of elections, the research will gain valuable insight into the specific challenges that women face in pursuing leadership roles and, once there, the challenges presented in office. The aim of completing qualitative research in this area is to allow women leaders' experiences to be shared. The interviews allow opportunities for women to recount their struggles and successes. This project will record and disseminate these stories both orally and visually through a photography exhibition.
In preparation for their project, members of TWU have participated in two training workshops. In August 2018, they received three-day research training in social research theory, design and methods, facilitated by consultant Zin Ei Ei Win. The training allowed them to collectively revisit, and reflect on, their original research question and identify precisely the gaps in knowledge that their P4P Grant supported project will fill – specifically, the barriers facing women's participation in politics, both as newcomers and incumbents.
In October 2018, the research team along with six volunteers participated in a second training session. This focused on enumeration skills, developing questionnaires and refining the team's research interview skills.
Armed with such comprehensive training, the team are looking forward to embarking on data collection for their P4P project.
The Tavoyan Women's Union (TWU) is a non-profit organization that was previously based in the Thai-Burma border town of Mae Sot with the aim of promoting a peaceful, justice, equality and liberated society in Burma, through capacity-building of young women activists. Although most of the members are of the Tavoyan ethnic group from the Tanintharyi region in southern Burma, the organization has reached out to women of all ethnic nationalities in the region, such as Karen, Mon and Bamar, as well as of diverse religions. Following political change in Burma, TWU returned to in 2012 to set up an office in Dawei, in the Tanintharyi Division, and began conducting part of its activities inside the country while still maintaining its head office in Mae Sot. In December 2015, all activities were transferred to Dawei, where TWU now works actively to promote women's participation in society, improve safety and education for women, and pursue gender equality and women's rights.

Another Tack: Beyond the water's edge
Posted on January 20, 2011 by Sarah Honig
In his (pre-presidential) heyday, witty and irrepressible Ezer Weizman once famously quipped that whereas "the eternity of Israel shall not deceive" (I Samuel 15:29), "the Arabs won't let us down."
Reckless as it may be to excessively rely on rescue by enemy imprudence, Kadima MK Nachman Shai should certainly be grateful to PA President Mahmoud Abbas for facilitating his own face-saving climb-down.
Earlier this month, Shai was about to head a delegation of opposition politicos on a pilgrimage to Abbas in Ramallah. That PR stunt might have misfired undesirably considering that Abbas has only just reiterated his absolute unwavering insistence on the "right" to inundate Israel with untold millions of hostile Arabs and his equally uncompromising refusal to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state.
Abbas has done nothing to justify an image boost from an ostensibly mainstream Israeli party while it persists in tarnishing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as unaccountably the villain of the doomed peace-talks scenario.
Had Abbas not pulled Kadima's chestnuts out of the fire, Shai's bunch would have appeared as siding with an intransigent antagonist, all for the sake of whacking the government.
Abbas's pretext was the inclusion in Shai's entourage of Alfei Menashe Local Council head Hisdai Eliezer. Abbas blackballed the "settler," affording Shai an opportunity to play the resolute hero who "objects to any sort of boycott."
Yet it shouldn't have taken Abbas's folly to change Shai's plans. These plans should have never been made in the first place. It's one thing for the opposition to carp and take potshots domestically but quite another for it to venture on its own foreign policy initiatives.
In 1947, in what was dubbed "the speech heard around the world," Republican Sen. Arthur Vandenberg urged that Democratic president Harry Truman be allowed to pursue his foreign policy unhindered because "politics should stop at the water's edge."
In other words, honorable politicians present a united front to other countries, despite home-turf disagreements.
Conducting a separate foreign policy, especially vis-a-vis inimical forces, is illegitimate in any democracy. The sabotage of an elected government's policy overturns the people's verdict by means other than the ballot box.
Wherever and whenever foreign policy does not remain free of tinkering inspired by partisan rivalries and ambitions, the consequences may prove calamitous.
Remember: the entire Oslo fiasco began as private diplomatic enterprise behind the back of the elected government.
The prelude occurred in 1987, when Shimon Peres, then serving as prime minister Yitzhak Shamir's foreign minister, concocted the London Agreement with Jordan.
Peres kept Shamir in the dark, while leading King Hussein to believe he had Shamir's blessing. Only the Americans eventually let Shamir in on the scheme. Peres even refused to show Shamir a copy of the agreement, something the Americans eventually provided.
Shamir sacked Peres. Yitzhak Rabin didn't, though Peres pulled the same stunt on him. Instead, Rabin fell for the fait accompli, which came to be known as the Oslo Accord.
In an October 31, 2008 Yediot Aharonot interview, Yossi Beilin unabashedly admitted that during the Oslo process, he "had to do things behind people's backs. I was deputy foreign minister. The foreign minister and prime minister [Peres and Rabin] didn't know that I was conducting talks with the PLO until I decided to inform them."
Beilin's confession should have generated a furious political maelstrom. Our opinion-molders should have been scandalized. Our entire public discourse should have reverberated with outrage. But nobody was appalled. Perhaps it was because Beilin's conspiracy was right up Peres's alley and he enticed Rabin into it.
Eventually, irresponsible dilettante negotiations without government sanction or knowledge do more than undermine the country's strength. They cause disregard and derision for us internationally. Jewish sovereignty ends up treated with insolence nobody would ever dare demonstrate even toward any minor Third World potentate.
What foreign governments and their local envoys allow themselves here, they wouldn't begin to countenance in relation to any other government anywhere, even of the less-than-strictly-democratic variety.
The erosion is continuous and the damage is wrought in such small increments, over so many years, that collective memory of most individual episodes of subterfuge quickly fades.
Here is one seemingly negligible yet very telling instance from January 2004, when astonished members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee were informed that Norway's embassy hosted a clandestine meeting between opposition leader Shimon Peres of Labor and PA premier Ahmed Qurei (Abu Ala). At the time Qurei assiduously resisted all pressure to confer with the elected premier (alas, of the Likud).
But that was hardly all. Qurei was chauffeured to Tel Aviv, without prior coordination with IDF authorities, by Norwegian UN envoy Terje Roed-Larsen – one of Oslo's progenitors, with political and personal links aplenty to Peres. Larsen had transported Qurei illicitly across the lines in blatant contravention of the legitimate authorities' regulations. He thereby thumbed his nose at official Israel and this was no isolated instance of such contempt on his part.
The fact that the Norwegian embassy thought it desirable to go behind its host government's back attested to a flagrantly disrespectful attitude and inappropriate conduct, hardly conceivable elsewhere.
In this forgotten but seminal case, senior diplomats sought to further agendas in cahoots with the opposition against the expressed policies of the legal government. In blunter terms, this should have been called subversion.
Even in 2004, moreover, it wasn't an isolated instance.
It came hot on the heels of the bizarre financial largesse and tireless efforts of the Swiss to sponsor the Geneva Initiative, in impudent defiance of the government which represented the overwhelming majority of the people.
Additionally, this wasn't solely the oddball undemocratic indecency of misguided Europeans. American ambassador Dan Kurtzer, representing what was hyped as Washington's friendliest-ever administration, engaged in similar hanky-panky. He hosted a get-together between senior Palestinians – though they boycotted Israel's elected leadership – and leading activists in the left-wing opposition from both Labor and Meretz.
Particularly disconcerting was the fact that at least some of this session was devoted to trashing the duly elected government. If anything, that signaled to potential Palestinian "peace partners" that they needn't respect their Israeli interlocutors and that they can take it for granted that Israel didn't enjoy American backing. In itself, that's a dangerous message.
Topping the chutzpah was that the furtive nature of assignation diplomacy wasn't what bothered Labor or Meretz. They were up-in-arms about the fact that officialdom was aware of who they saw and what was said.
This to them smacked of McCarthyism.
Magically, they shifted the focus from their underhandedness to the supposed violation of their rights, just as they do in the current imbroglio about who funds the Left's front-organizations, those which spare no effort or tactic to demonize Israel worldwide.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Israel's politics stop neither at the water's edge nor at the Green Line. They never have.

Wake up Israel:
Serial 2-states in the same land = GENOCIDE.
Do the math. Israel's enemies have already done their arithmetics. There are no other issues impacting.
Consider why the world is not demanding a 2-state in Egypt instead, one for the Arab Muslims – and one for the original native Copts of that land? After all, we already had a 2-state in Palestine – its called Jordan, and it robbed some 80% of the land allocated for the Jews. Rocket science applies.

Honor, truth, openness, honesty, responsibility to my country are all attributes that are missing in most politicians in today's world, not only in Israel, but in most countries. What has taken the place of these desired actions on the part of individuals has been replaced by the me,me,me syndrome. Only what I think is important! Knowing that this is the way the modern politician thinks should make choosing persons of responsible positions much easier. But that doesn't happen. Little attention is paid to this. Tragic!


UN special envoy Alexander Downer has arranged for a dinner with Presidents Eroglu and Anastasiades. This was scheduled for May 29th and agreed to by both parties.
However, last week, Anastasiades threw a wobbly and backed away from the dinner saying that he assumed it would be a purely social affair and there would be no political discussions.
He voiced his concerns in a letter to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and said that he was awaiting a reply from him directly and not from Downer. He also wanted the date changed to May 30th.
A reply has come, according to spokesman Christos Stylianidis on a radio programme last night. He says that Ban Ki-moon has been agreeable to the new set of conditions demanded by Anastasiades.
To avoid anyone feeling uncomfortable, maybe they will strictly focus on the Eurovision song contests.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt - The case for supernatural phenomena in the modern world, with a foreword by Maria Ahern, a leading barrister (Hardcover)
Gordon Smith 1
Gordon Smith is the medium's medium who outstanding gifts are recognised by prominent sceptics and which have been tested in laboratory conditions at Glasgow University, with astonishing results. But usually when we try to assess the claims of psychics and mediums or evidence of supernatural phenomena we are examining events taking place outside the controlled conditions of the scientific laboratory. In this new book Gordon Smith argues that most suitable standards we can apply when trying to decide whether or not it is reasonable to believe such claims are the same standards we usually use to assess disputes in human affairs - the standards of the law court. As a leading medium Gordon Smith is part of an 'apostolic succession' of mediums that goes back through famous mediums like Albert Best, Helen Duncan and DD Hume to the start of Spiritualism modern times in American in the mid nineteenth century. In this book he examines the historical evidence, admitting fraud where he finds it, but showing that great weight of testimony proves the reality of these supernatural and spiritual phenomena 'beyond reasonable doubt'. As leading barrister Maria Ahern writes in her foreword: 'I have assessed the evidence in this book. Just as I would in a trial. There is credible evidence from various unconnected sources all giving evidence that points the same way. The evidence has been collated by a credible source; Gordon Smith is widely acknowledged as a gifted medium and has provided many with evidence of one of life's great unanswered questions'. She advises the reader: 'Look at the evidence, assess it fairly, allow for any sensible and appropriate doubt and reach your verdict'.
Stop Being Reasonable - six stories of how we really change our minds (Paperback)
Eleanor Gordon-Smith 1
What if you aren't who you think you are? What if you don't really know the people closest to you? And what if your most deeply-held beliefs turn out to be ... wrong? In Stop Being Reasonable, philosopher and journalist Eleanor Gordon-Smith tells six lucid, gripping stories that show the limits of human reason. From the woman who realised her husband harboured a terrible secret, to the man who left the cult he had been raised in since birth, and the British reality TV contestant who, having impersonated someone else for a month, discovered he could no longer return to his former identity, all of the people interviewed radically altered their beliefs about the things that matter most. What made them change course? How should their reversals affect how we think about our own beliefs? And in an increasingly divided world, what do they teach us about how we might change the minds of others? Inspiring, perceptive, and often moving, Stop Being Reasonable explores the place where philosophy and real life meet. Ultimately, it argues that when it comes to finding out what's true or convincing others about what we know, being rational might involve our hearts as well as our minds.

After the Exhibition - A classic British mystery set in the 1920s (Paperback)
A church art exhibition turns deadly ...'Art, my dear boy,' said Mr Askern, 'especially sacred art, needs tradition. Tradition is the bedrock of our art ...' He broke off, staring at the woman in front of him. Her face seemed to lose all definition and her skin turned an unnatural shade of putty-coloured grey. 'Art,' she said, her voice scarcely more than a whisper. 'Art! Oh my God, art!' She swayed dangerously. Jack leapt forward, catching her as she fell. Jack Haldean expected Lythewell and Askerns' exhibition of church art in Lyon House, London, to be a sedate affair. After all, Lythewell and Askern, Church Artists, were a respectable, old-fashioned firm, the last people to be associated with mystery, violence and sudden death. Or so it seemed - until after the exhibition ...

Blyth Through Time (Paperback)
The town of Blyth is not a very old town like its big neighbour Newcastle. When Blyth became the Borough of Blyth in 1922 the motto on its coat of arms was 'We Grow by Industry'. The town began its 'modern' life in the mid-nineteenth century as a port, and as the port developed, so did the town. The land surrounding the port was owned mainly by the Ridley family and the trustees of the Thoroton and Croft estate. These three names can still be found in the names of streets and some of the buildings.One of the earliest industries here was shipbuilding and of course, mining. Both are long gone, but still remain in the minds of the older generation. As technology changed, mines got deeper and ships got larger, so Blyth expanded. The focus of the town moved from the quayside as land became available, the river that flowed through the town was piped and the land reclaimed. This visual history will show you how much has changed in Blyth through time.

Throughout the book, Gordon shares his own experiences with his springer spaniel 'Cheeky' Charlie, who came into his life unexpectedly, completely overturning it and showing Gordon the beauty of trust, patience and unconditional love. Through these amazing stories, Gordon shows just how deeply animals care for their human families and the profound understanding they have of the world around them.

Khmer Empire
The Khmer Empire (Khmer Chakrafoop Khmer Anachak Khmer), officially the Angkor Empire (Khmer: Anak Angkor), the predecessor kingdom of modern-day Cambodia ("Kampuchea" or "Kastur Khmer" for the Khmer people) was a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom. Southeast Asia. The empire, which evolved from the former kingdoms of Fanon and Chenala, at times ruled and/or subjugated most of Southeast Asia and southern China, stretching from the tip of the Indochinese peninsula to modern-day Yunnan province, China. And from Vietnam westward to Myanmar.
Modern Research and Discovery (Ancient Lost City of Khmer Empire)
Researchers have rediscovered an ancient city of the Khmer Empire, which was hidden for centuries in the lush green forest of modern-day Cambodia.
Mahendraparvata sometimes called the 'Lost City of Cambodia', an early capital of the Khmer Empire, was a Hindu-Buddhist regime of Southeast Asia, which lasted from the 9th to the 15th centuries.
According to archaeologists and historians – Khmer Empire
Historians and Archaeologists have been searching for decades about the existence of Mahendraparvata, but little surviving archaeological evidence of this Angkorian city has been found so far but with ground-based surveys of a newly expanded urban network map proved from reports It has been reported that since the 9th century, located in the Phnom elite plateau, north-east of Angkor city (capital city) Khmer Samaritan The state is located, as recorded in history).
Jean-Baptiste Chevance
Researchers guided by Jean-Baptiste Chevance, the first author and archaeologist of the Foundation for Archeology and Development in Britain, stated clearly in their letter, "To date, we have paid very little attention to the mountainous regions of the Phnomite elite." Read research papers here – Mahendraparvata an early Angkor capital.
"It is almost entirely missing from the archaeological maps except for the scattering of the dots depicting the remains of some brick temples."
Research effort
In research efforts that began in 2012 and lasted until 2017, the team launched a series of LIDAR survey flights over the region, creating a comprehensive map of thousands of newly found archaeological features from earlier research efforts on the ground They were saved.
Thus the ancient Khmer modified the landscape, shaping features on a very large scale – ponds, reservoirs, canals, roads, temples, rice fields, etc.
However, dense forests often cover areas, which is the main obstacle to investigate.
However, the team was able to see layers of vegetation and dirt to see Mahendraparvat, exposing a complex urban network of city amenities designed in a grid-like pattern of linear axes, which span 50 square kilometers.
The researchers point out, "Many other elements of the anthropogenic landscape connect to this broader network, suggesting an expansion of an overall urban plan."
Damian Evans
Damian Evans (one of the team) pointed out that the city may not have lived for centuries, or perhaps even decades, but the cultural and religious significance of the place has been true to the present day.
Dams, reservoir walls and enclosed walls or embankments of temples, mohallas and even the royal palace correspond to linear features. "
Despite the elaborate design and sophistication of the lost city's engineer footprint, it did not survive long.
In the coming years, the Khmer Empire shifted its center of operations to the new capital, Angkor, perhaps due to better conditions for growing food in less mountainous and challenging environments. Further research is still ongoing.
The findings have been reported in antiquity.

How Far Can Voice Recognition Software Take Us?
Talking to a device to accomplish tasks used to be a futuristic dream. For many, it's now a way of life.
The Future Is Here: The Evolution of Voice Recognition Software.
Speaking into a digital device to accomplish tasks used to be a futuristic dream. For many, it's now a way of life. It may have started with smartphones and cars, but current voice recognition software lets people do a lot more than "call Joe" or find the address for a nearby restaurant. TVs, alarm systems and even appliances can be controlled by voice commands these days, as developers are now able to connect the functionality of these applications to voice recognition software.
The ability to communicate with our devices has been a goal of researchers since as far back as 1936, when Bell Laboratory ran a trial of electronic speech synthesis, notes Digitalist Magazine contributor Geetika Shukla. In the 1950s, says an article from the MIT Technology Review, new computers could recognize as many as 10 words if spoken by one person. By the 1990s, machines could create decent transcripts based on the spoken word.
Since then, the technology has improved enormously, mostly in the last 10 years or so. Voice activation software is now beginning to simulate a real person, or an assistant, who performs tasks and finds answers when asked to do so. Users can tell devices equipped with voice-control to find a phone number, get directions, set reminders and alarms, play music, search the web, send a text message, turn on and off lights, or change TV programming – and that's just a short list. But all of these conveniences are not the only reason voice recognition technology is becoming more of a reality.
Why voice recognition is so popular.
By allowing hands-free interaction, voice recognition allows for multi-tasking and increased productivity. Imagine someone is cooking in a home kitchen while listening to music through a speaker system. This person needs to also simultaneously create a digital grocery list based on the ingredients being used up and check the traffic report to see if his or her spouse will be coming home late. Conveniently, this can all be done with simple voice commands. If all these tasks had to be done separately by hand, it would take much longer.
In today's culture, people are always looking for ways to be more efficient, and voice-activated commands make that easier by removing the need to type every letter out on a keyboard or search, scroll and click to find information. Mary Meeker, a well-known financial analyst, spoke at a conference in southern California recently and told attendees her prediction that 50 percent of all searches online will be done through voice and image by 2020. It's hardly an outlandish prediction, as voice control is more natural and may allow people to be more productive.
What does the future of voice recognition software look like?
While communication with our devices seems incredible and almost futuristic, society seems to be heading in that direction. The goal is to create devices that understand and react to conversational speech by searching multiple sources for the most relevant information and providing any additional resources based on context. Although a lot of progress has and is being made, technology is still somewhat lacking in these areas. But the future of voice recognition software is bright.
As improvements in voice recognition accuracy continue, it's probable the market will need more devices that are "always listening" or ready to interject personalized assistance any time it is needed. This may require the creation of new, even-more intelligent speech recognition software that can connect to more advanced devices, which researchers and developers are likely already building.
Data suggests the future of this industry is going to continue to see rapid growth as researchers keep finding the latest and most advanced technologies. Voice recognition software will expand further into additional products and become a natural part of life, providing information where and when people need it. The future of speech recognition is likely to include advancements in the following:
Real-Time Data Integration: Devices will be able to pull in real-time information to provide more relevant answers and better determine context based on the request provided and timely outside factors.
Conversational Interfaces: Voice-driven assistants will begin to better understand personalized, conversational speech as opposed to set commands. Software will become more focused on determining meaning and providing solutions for the intent, not word triggers, based on the person making the request.
AI Applications: Web APIs are allowing developers to create a voice interface for almost any website or application, and the tech giants will keep investing in web-based voice search, making it more accessible for smaller businesses.
Self-Driving Cars: Currently, many vehicles offer voice-driven entertainment and navigation features, but other capabilities, such as voice-commanded driving, may be just around the corner.
Smart Homes: This advancement is already making huge strides, as products like Amazon's Echo and Google's Home are currently available. These gadgets will allow people to connect technology within their home and control everything from their alarm system to their appliances, lighting, sound and other electronics with their voice.
As these new solutions emerge in the voice recognition market, current systems and applications must be able to integrate if they want to keep up with today's multitasking consumer.
Integrating voice recognition with existing technology:
Whether for commercial or in-house interfaces and workflows, there are two primary ways to add voice recognition software to an existing application. The first is mainly for developers, as it entails implementation and requires coding knowledge. Several companies, such as Google, Apple and Amazon, offer software development kits (SDKs) that include software libraries, code samples and documentation to assist in the integration of speech recognition capabilities into a platform.The second, and best, option when looking to integrate voice recognition technology with existing systems is to hire a software development company to do it for you. A professional can also build a new system with verbal capabilities if a total refresh of old software is necessary.
Although it is not likely that electronic devices will soon be equivalent to humans, advancing technologies are making devices smarter. This includes improving voice recognition and making a system's understanding of speech more realistic and natural. As research and development continue, voice-controlled technology will likely play a bigger role in daily life and the latest and greatest devices will have to include speech recognition software to keep up with user demand.

What Does The Microsoft-Xamarin News Mean For Brands With Mobile Apps?
Consumers demand apps, and businesses keep supplying them, but many companies are struggling to maintain such a fast pace when it comes to mobile app development. After all, there are a lot of moving parts that must line up perfectly to develop an app in a traditional sense with all the bells and whistles – dedicated native developers, development tools, backend systems, testing environments and more. That is one of the major reasons why brands today are turning to rapid mobile app development.
With approaches that entail quickly creating high-performing and great-looking apps, businesses are able to release their apps faster, which means generating a return on those investments sooner. But rapid mobile app development isn't just a strategy. It requires a solution: a mobile app development platform that provides frameworks and APIs for creating custom apps. That tool must also, however, allow developers to code apps that support all mobile device operating systems.
Enter Xamarin. This rapid mobile development platform is invaluable in 2016. It ensures that brands can build, test and support apps throughout their entire lifecycles thanks to a coding language called C#. That code is automatically converted to native code for each mobile OS via a hosted .NET environment. With Xamarin quick cross-platform development gets simpler. Third-party app development firms take advantage of these tools, and the results are great. It's because Xamarin allows developers to create any app they want – Xamarin supports apps, such as JetBlue's, as well as mobile games such as Bastion.
Xamarin rapid mobile development platform is invaluable in 2016.
Recently, Microsoft announced that its has agreed to acquire Xamarin. This might sound surprising, but Ars Technica's Peter Bright reported that this partnership has been a long time coming. As the source explained, Xamarin was a spin-off company of Ximian , which originally created Mono – an open source version of .NET. And Microsoft released the first .NET in the 2000s as a way to develop cross-platform apps. Once Xamarin began its life as a tech firm, it started to finish Mono. Therefore, Bright asserted, technically speaking, Xamarin finished what Microsoft started years ago – it's come full circle.
Then, in the past few years, Microsoft and Xamarin partnered to integrate Microsoft's Visual Studio with the rapid mobile development platform, Bright wrote. In 2014, the relationship grew strong when Microsoft made .NET partially open source, giving Xamarin better support for .NET. So, historically, the partnership between Microsoft and Xamarin has yielded good results.
In that regard, many industry experts think that the acquisition is promising. More importantly, it reflects how important cross-platform mobile app development really has become. Microsoft understands that app development must improve across the board, and it wants to be in on the ground floor of innovation. WIRED's Klint Finley supported that thinking, clearing the air around what exactly this acquisition means for the underlying Xamarin platform and other backend services. The good news, Finely explained, is that this wasn't a case of absorbing key players from Xamarin and throwing away the rest – a process known in the industry as "acquihiring."
"This is definitely not an acquihire," Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Microsoft's cloud and enterprise group, told the source. "There are more than 300 people on the Xamarin team. We very much view this acquisition as an opportunity to take what they've built and make it a core part of our strategy."
The impact of it all
Therein lies the question for many brands looking into Xamarin right now as a solution for mobile app development. If these companies already have a plan to leverage the platform with help from a third-party development, will anything change? No, but also yes.
For one, out of this deal, Microsoft gets some benefits, yet the acquisition isn't likely to change Xamarin or mobile app development for a while. For ZDNet, Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst Jeffrey Hammond and Principal Analyst Michael Facemire wrote that the mobile backend as a service aspect of Xamarin could soon live on Microsoft's Azure public cloud service infrastructure.
When it comes to businesses that want to use Xamarin, the Forrester analysts asserted that this acquisition makes the mobile development platform more attractive. Now, "mainstream buyers" have no reason to be concerned about using a cloud service from a smaller provider, they argued, and since few mobile developers "are comfortable with the current status quo," they now have a great option.
Full-Stack Developers Aren't Required To Build Great Mobile Apps
Nowadays, a mobile app needs to provide it all. It must have a great user interface that provides consumers with a variety of features and capabilities while avoiding the complexities that can come with too many options. Beyond that, a mobile app has to ensure it's bug- and glitch-free, as well as perform optimally, regardless of the devices it's opened on or the other apps running in the background. It should offer something that is unique, such as a loyalty or rewards program, as that can keep users engaged and frequently interacting. And perhaps most importantly, a mobile app must seamlessly connect with existing accounts to provide a personalized experience.
That probably sounds like a lot, but in the extremely competitive app market of 2016, overlooking a single feature, capability or end-user expectation could spell disaster – a poor review or, worse, a deleted app.
To build mobile apps that truly provide it all, brands should look for full-stack developers. Those are IT employees who "understand the implications of technical decisions from core layers of software onto the presentation layer," as Hossein Rahnama, founder and chief product officer at Flybits, explained to InfoWorld. Full-stack developers can work on the backend, integrating APIs into a mobile app's code one day, and the next, they're able to turn around and improve the end-user experience. No wonder Rahnama called these individuals "great assets": In today's cross-platform mobile app market that demands native experiences, brands want full-stack developers to bring their apps to every mobile platform while maintaining high-quality.
Overlooking a single end-user expectation could spell disaster in app development.
No full-stack developers for you
Unfortunately, finding a developer or IT professional with the traits for their full-stack fluent peers proves difficult. Randstad Technologies Group President of Technology and Engineering Robert Dickey said that full-stack developers are some of the most wanted IT employees in 2016, according to CIO magazine. After all, individuals with wide skill sets in the back-end and front-end of mobile app development likely want higher salaries and important positions.
Solving the problem
The best choice for businesses that want amazing apps that provide it all is to partner with organizations that specialize in mobile app development and use tools such as Xamarin that make full-stack skills obsolete.
Why partner with a specialized firm? Sarah Williams, contributor for Newswire, explained that the stack is wider than ever, making it difficult for brands to hire a developer on their own who understands Android and iOS development as well as how to build out and support back-end infrastructure. The "full-stack" only gets more complex when factoring in additional smart devices as well as must-have features such as mobile payments and loyalty and rewards system integration.
With a platform such as Xamarin and a mobile app development partner that has developers with a lot of experience in building apps across devices, brands don't have to worry about finding and hiring full-stack skilled professionals. Those companies can provide staff with passions in a wealth of areas, ensuring that the best UI people work on UI while the backend infrastructure is handled by someone with expertise in that regard.
Consumers might want to have "it all" with respect to their mobile apps, but brands don't need to find developers who can do it all when they can rely on partners that leverage cross-platform development tools and supply professionals that excel at what they do.

Allentown School District undertakes an important modular classroom building project as they continue to experience significant urban growth, that is putting pressure on the school system's infrastructure. Overcrowding of classroom buildings is requiring district officials to add space so they can accommodate the increase in student population. Ritter Elementary has been the recipient of the district's most recent classroom expansion project by receiving 9,000 square feet of new modular constructed classrooms. Each of the 10 spacious climate controlled modular classrooms is 30'x30′ providing a welcome learning environment for both the students and faculty.
The building's exterior is clad with maintenance free low-rib steel, providing lasting durability.
Handicap accessible ramps accompanied by code compliant steps and decking are all aluminum. The aluminum access systems are both attractive and maintenance free.
Recessed exterior double doors provide students and faculty protection from weather in addition to other benefits.
One end of the building has a site-constructed canopy designed to protected students from poor weather conditions.
Many schools are leasing and purchase large classroom complexes, such as this 9,000 square foot modular classroom building, versus acquiring multiple double-wide classrooms for several reasons: safety & security, energy efficiency, student and faculty protection from weather, and cost effectiveness.
