This is such great advice! I just went back to work after 2 years at home with my daughter, and I have to say, while I wish I wasn't working and away from her, I've never looked better. Hopefully when I'm home again, I'll hold onto dressing prettier. I feel prettier and happier when I look good!

Sutherland night sky
Did you know?
SALT (Southern African Large Telescope) cost R200 million to build and was inaugurated by former President Thabo Mbeki on 10 November 2005.
Stargazing should be on the 'must do' list for anyone coming to South Africa. The heavens, you must understand, are like wine: there is wine and there is great wine. If it's the best heavenly vintage that you long for then Sutherland is the place to visit.
The village of Sutherland is a 4-hours drive from Cape Town in the middle of the Karoo and it is famous for a number of reasons. It is the coldest place in South Africa and it has the least amount of light pollution - making it perfect for stargazing. It also has some of the cleanest air on the planet and is home to SALT (Southern African Large Telescope), the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere; so powerful it can see a candle flame on the moon.
SALT operates digitally, so there is no eye piece through which you look at the heavens, but you can do a tour of the facility, which is fascinating in itself. The good news is that Sutherland is populated with a host of impressive telescopes and night sky viewings that will certainly satisfy the amateur and the serious astronomer alike.
Even without a telescope the Sutherland night sky will take away the breath of all who chance to look up, and for those travellers from the northern hemisphere there is the added bonus of the Southern Cross and the magical swirl of the Milky Way.
Stargazing in South Africa is a blend of the spiritual and scientific and it appeals to both young and old. Don't pass up the opportunity to marvel at the heavens.
There are tours and stargazing events almost every week of the year. Look at the Sutherland website for more details and to book accommodation.

Well if it's not dead it's in critical health.
it proves NBC don't have any faith in Knight Rider anymore.
I still say someone needs to answer for this, you can't keep defending these people making this show as so many people keep doing.
why for goodness sake, heads need to roll over this.

Mamoswine [BW2 Revamp] [QC: 3/3] [GP 0/2]
[Overview]
The Wooly Mammoth makes its return to BW2 with two new toys under its belt. Mamoswine obtain is a new powerful STAB, Icicle Crash and its new Dreamworld Ability Thick Fat, which lets Mamoswine take neutral damage to fire-type moves. Mamoswine can function differently on teams; it can be a great lead for teams to set up Stealth Rock or be an offensive sweeper to take on Thundurus-T, Tornadus-T and Landorus-T. If your team is in need of a Pokemon that will check Dragon-types, Mamoswine is the best choice. Ice Shard is Mamoswine's best STAB priority move in the tier, it helps revenge kill boosting Dragon-types and the three Therians. There aren't many Pokemon that out speed Mamoswine while taking neutral damage from Ice Shard, and there aren't many offensive Pokemon that can switch in on Mamoswine unless they're at full health.

Mamoswine has an acceptable Base 80 Speed of which is good for getting the jump on slower Pokemon in the tier but it is uniquely mitigated by Ice Shard. Due to Mamoswine's Ground / Ice typing it leaves you weak to common priority Pokemon for example: Scizor's Bullet Punch and Breloom's Mach Punch. But don't let this discourage you from using Mamoswine, once it gets in safely it's a pain for most teams.
 [SET] name: Physical Attacker move 1: Icicle Crash move 2: Ice Shard move 3: Earthquake move 4: Superpower / Stealth Rock item: Life Orb ability: Thick Fat nature: Jolly / Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
 Coming off a Base 130 Attack and with a Life Orb this makes Mamoswine a threatening sweeper. Not many Pokemon are going to want to switch into a powerful move from Mamoswine. With Superpower, Mamoswine is able to hit Air Balloon Heatran who wouldn't take any damage from its STAB Earthquake. Superpower is also effective against Rotom-W who is arguably Mamoswine most common switch in. If Ferrothorn is a problem for your team then it should also be noted that Ferrothorn is 2HKO by Superpower. Not only is Icicle Crash Mamoswine's most powerful STAB attack it has a nice flinch chance and Dragonite can be OHKO even through Multiscale, but most Dragonite would never stay in on Mamoswine.

With Mamoswine's Base 80 Speed, faster Dragon-types like: Garchomp, Salamence, Hydreigon and Haxorus all have a respectable move to KO you but Ice Shard can easily KO them. Mamoswine also checks the likes of Tornadus-T, Thundurus-T, Landorus and Breloom with its STAB Ice Shard. Tornadus-T is not KO by Ice Shard as it only does 75.58 - 89.63% unless it comes in on Stealth Rock then its a guaranteed OHKO. When choosing a nature for Mamoswine the preferred nature is an Jolly Nature. With an Jolly Nature you are guaranteed to out speed Adamant Breloom, max speed Politoed, other Adamant Mamoswine, positive speed nature Heatran, and Adamant Lucario. With a Jolly nature you will break the speed tie with Dragonite and have a 43% chance of OHKO it through Multiscale with Icicle Spear.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
If your team is in need of a Stealth Rock you can substitute Superpower for Stealth Rock but you will lose out a 2HKO to Ferrothorn who can OHKO Mamoswine with its either STAB moves Gyro Ball or Power Whip. The use of Jolly nature is generally better for number of things you can out speed, but the difference between the two matures is that 10% power drop from Adamant to Jolly which actually loses a number of KOs. For example:

Adamant Earthquake vs 252/88+ Ferrothorn: 44.60% - 52.84% (Chance to 2HKO after SR and Leftovers, very high chance with one layer of Spikes only)

With an Adamant nature you are guaranteed to out speed Adamant nature Breloom and KO it with Ice Shard. Also with an Adamant nature your Earthquake will always OHKO and out speed Special Defensive Jirachi. One threat that can survive Mamoswine's STAB and can KO him is Choice Band Scizor's Bullet Punch. If Pokemon commonly seen using Substitute like: Garchomp, Gliscor, Toxicroak, Hydriegon and Gengar are giving your teams problems then Icicle Spear is great for breaking their substitute.

 Latias is a good partner for Mamoswine, as Mamoswine easily dispatches of both of Latias' main counters, Jirachi and Tyranitar, and in return Latias provides a nice check to problematic threats for Mamoswine, such as Keldeo and Rotom-W. Thundurus-T makes a good partner for Mamoswine as his powerful Electric STAB attacks can easily dispose of Skarmory as well as the bulky Water-types that Mamoswine can not easily take out. Breloom is a good teammate, as Mamoswine struggles against the likes of Terrakion and bulky Water types which Breloom easily handles with Mach Punch and Bullet Seed respectively. On the other hand, Breloom struggles with Dragon-types which Mamoswine can pick off with Ice Shard and Breloom can return the favor by putting Bronzong, Slowbro, and Skarmory to sleep who walls Mamoswine. Heatran is another good partner for Mamoswine because Heatran can check he steel walls like Bronzong and Skarmory and tank Dragon hits and which teams with Mamoswine tend to be vulnerable against. Mamoswine can be effective on Dragon spam team because Mamoswine can check opposing Dragon-types that may give Dragon spam teams trouble because of most dragons are weak against Mamoswine's STAB Ice move.
 [SET] name: Focus Sash move 1: Stealth Rock move 2: Endeavor move 3: Ice Shard move 4: Earthquake item: Focus Sash ability: Thick Fat nature: Jolly / Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe [SET COMMENTS]
What made Mamoswine so threatening in Diamond and Pearl is its Focus Sash set. This set is great for a lead Pokemon to set up entry hazards. When choosing a nature for Mamoswine a Jolly nature is preferred over Adamant nature. This set is not designed to break through walls but to out speed opposing threats namely to insure you out speed Breloom before it spores you. When playing with the Focus Sash if you opponent leads with Politoed, 53.302% of the time they will use Scald which has a 93.75% chance of an OHKO, but with the Focus Sash and Endeavor you can bring your opponent down to 1HP and you can retaliate back with your priority Ice Shard which will help you take out Politoed. Ice Shard should always be used no matter what to pick off dragons-types and Tornadus-T and Thundurus-T from trying to sweep your team. If your opponent doesn't lead with a Pokemon that can't OHKO your Mamoswine then it's safe to go ahead and set up Stealth Rock. While Earthquake isn't as hard as the Life Orb set, it's still great to hit Heatran and Jirachi hard.
 [ADDITIONAL COMMENTS]
If your team is not worried about out speeding Jolly nature Breloom and other Adamant nature Mamoswine then you can opt for an Adamant nature for more offensive power. If you want to break opposing lead Pokemon's substitute you can option for Icicle Spear in replace for Endeavor. Celebi has good synergy with Mamoswine, since it counters Breloom and other Fighting-types, and is able to beat Rotom-W. Also, Bulky Dragonite appreciates having his would be checks weakened, and has good synergy with Mamoswine. Mamoswine appreciates Magnezone who can trap Scizor locked into Bullet Punch, as well as Ferrothorn and other steel types attempting to tank an Earthquake.
 [Other Options]
For more fire power you can option for Choice Band to fire off some powerful Earthquakes, but being locked into Earthquake sucks, but practically no Pokemon who are immune or who resist Earthquake except for Skarmory and Rotom-W would like to switch into Icicle Crash. Stone Edge is another option for hitting Volcarano but Earthquake is usually sufficient to take out Volcarona as with the Life Orb Mamoswine OHKOs offensive variants of Volcorana. If you want Mamoswine to have more speed you can use a Choice Scarf to revenge kill Tornadus-T and +1 Dragonite but it isn't very good in OU since Mamoswine's STABs are easily abused and its somewhat redundant by Ice Shard and the Pokemon that used to be susceptible to this set were Substitute Garchomp and Substitute Breloom which aren't as common as they used to be in OU.
 [Checks & Counters]
Mamoswine doesn't have many counters, but faster Pokemon can stop the Mammoth in its track. Choice Scarf users who can take Ice Shards and beat Mamoswine with powerful STABs such as Jirachi, Heatran, and Rotom-W all make solid checks to Mamoswine. Since Mamoswine is weak to water moves, faster water-types like Keldeo, Starmie, and Choice Scarf Politoed are all good Pokemon to check Mamoswine with their STAB Hydro Pump. With Mamoswine's Ice-type it leaves it weak to faster fighting types like Lucario, Keldeo, Infernape, and Terrakion who are very common in the OU tier as they resist Mamoswine's Ice Shard. Choice Band Scizor's Bullet Punch is also another check to Mamsowine as it will always KO Mamoswine. Mamoswine has trouble breaking through physical walls like Slowbro and Skarmory. Special Defensive Rotom-W can easily come on Mamoswine and OHKO with Hydro Pump but it doesn't like to switch in on Superpower. Terrakion can also take out Mamoswine with Close Combat but it must be careful of switching in to Earthquake as it can OHKO Terrakion.

Speaking of which, Icicle Crash needs to be slashed on the LO set because it has more reliable BP than Icicle Spear. |

Stone Edge should not be on the Life Orb set; Superpower is more useful in literally every single scenario (hits Ferrothorn, Balloon users). All Stone Edge does is beat Volcarona, which Mamoswine shouldn't be staying in on anyway. It only really ran Stone Edge in BW1 because Superpower was illegal with Icicle Crash, but that isn't the case anymore.
Also, am I the only one who think Icicle Crash should be the first slash on the LO set? Icicle Spear may break Substitutes, but this isn't Cloyster we're talking about; Icicle Spear is horrendously unreliable. IIRC the only things that use Substitute that are weak to Ice are Gliscor (not staying in on you anyway) and Breloom (Sub sets are not very common anymore, the vast majority of Brelooms are Technician sets). On the other hand, Icicle Crash is useful for OHKOing unboosted Dragonite through Multiscale, which is a pretty big deal. Not sure what Icicle Spear is doing, but in other cases Icicle Crash's more reliable Base Power will prove to help out more than breaking Substitutes.

-Move LO Mamoswine to first set. its 100% better than the lead set.
-Mention Icicle Spear in the AC of LO Mamo, since I guess its nice for stuff like Sub Chomp, Sub Gliscor, Sub Haxorus, SUb Hydriegon maybe Gengar etc etc situational but good enough for AC imo. -Likewise SR needs to be at least AC on the LO set, since people commonly use LO Mamo with SR. It can prolly be slashed with Superpower but other people might want to weigh in here since Mamo likes having all its moves to some degree.

I don't play with Mamoswine at all, but why is choice band not being accounted for, not even in OO? I can imagine some offensive issues being locked into earthquake, but that should be addressed again in OO should it not?

Stealth Rock on LO Mamoswine isn't terrible, but every time I used it I wished I had a more reliable user like Heatran or Deoxys-D. Hell, I'd even lean more toward using Focus Sash Dugtrio for Stealth Rock. Additionally, I personally found that Mamoswine gets very few opportunities to set up Stealth Rock. It's not nearly as frail as Pokemon like Lucario, but it isn't really bulky and has few resistances; factoring in Thick Fat, it only has three resistances, one of which is worthless (Poison). On top of that, most of the Pokemon it forces out are either 4x weak to Ice or both slower than it AND weak to one of its moves, of which there aren't many.
That said, I do think it's good enough for an AC mention for when the Mamoswine user really can't fit on any other Stealth Rock user. EDIT: Also, I agree with Scarfwynaut (wow! what are the odds?) that CB should get an OO mention, but definitely stress the fact that its moves are by no means safe to be locked into.

Here's what I think the first set should look like:
[SET] name: Physical Attacker move 1: Icicle Crash move 2: Ice Shard move 3: Earthquake move 4: Superpower / Stealth Rock item: Life Orb / Choice Band ability: Thick Fat nature: Jolly / Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe LO and CB Mamoswine play similarly enough to be merged, IMO. Getting locked into Earthquake sucks, but practically no EQ immune/resist apart from Skarm and Rotom-W would like to switch into Icicle Crash anyway. Another thing to consider is Scarf Mamoswine. It may seem weird, but Mamoswine has the coverage and relatively good speed to revenge kill most threats it's supposed to revenge kill anyway. Something like this: [SET] name: Choice Scarf move 1: Icicle Spear / Icicle Crash move 2: Earthquake move 3: Superpower move 4: Ice Shard / Stone Edge item: Choice Scarf ability: Thick Fat nature: Jolly / Adamant evs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Icicle Spear lets you kill Dragonite through Multiscale, but Icicle Crash is generally more consistent. Ice Shard may seem out of place in the last slot, but it's still reliable priority if you ever need it, and it's not like Mamoswine is really starved for moveslots.

The only question I have with the Choice Scarf is the importance of it. I mean what Pokemon are you trying to out speed with Choice Scarf. I mean everytime I use MAmoswine I'm just going to use Ice Shard becuase no matter how many boost a Pokemon gets priority will out speed it regardless.

Honestly I don't think CB is even worth a slash, since LO is so much better - being locked into either Ground or Ice moves can spell disaster in the current meta. OO CB imho
PS: I wouldn't mind Scarf being an OO mention, too, tbh, but I have seen some used for surprise kills on my dragons that are behind a sub / healthy enough to survive an Ice Shard |

I haven't used Scarfswine much, but Bandswine is pretty bad. The power is nice, but Life Orb is nearly as powerful and you need the ability to switch moves. It's especially invaluable with all the Ground-immune Pokémon like the Therians running around where you will need the Ice coverage.
Maybe, maybe using an Expert Belt to bluff a Sash or Choice item could be an OO option. Actually, the more I think about it, the more viable it sounds. Base 130 Attack backed by (in my opinion) the best existing STAB combination in the game (Dragon/Fighting and Ghost/Fighting are better, but that's neither here nor there) could make it work more than anything else.

The overview actually needs a bit of a dash of hype. Mamo is a pain for most teams (even Rotom-W doesn't like switching into a Superpower or a return). Don't forget to mention that once it gets in safely, its going to cause hell for your opponents tream. You state that its base 80 Speed is acceptable, but I think it should be stressed that Mamoswine's poor speed is somewhat uniquely mitigated by Ice Shard. There aren't many Pokemon that outspeed Mamo while taking neutral damage from Ice Shard and there aren't many offensive Pokemon that can pivot switch into Mamo unless they're healthy. Also, don't forget to add that it checks some of the most fearsome non-dragon threats in the game (Tornadus-T, Thundurus-T, Landorus & Breloom)
I'll get back to you on Choice Scarf Mamoswine once I give it a test.

Just some quick things
Isn't this kind of unnecessary? Quote:
Also, Latias is also a good partner for Mamoswine, as Mamoswine easily dispatches of BOTH of Latias' main counters, Jirachi and Tyranitar, and in return Latias provides a nice check to problematic threats for Mamoswine, such as Keldeo and Rotom-W.

@shkway, how does mamo easily counter rachi? If rachi invest in speed and iron heads can't he Ohko mamo? If not a pure 1shot then after some life orb dog it will kill.

I would actually slash Stealth Rock with Icicle Crash as well on the first set. I've found Superpower pretty crucial for hitting the ever-so-common Rotom-W and Icicle Crash less so. This is because Earthquake and Ice Shard are already two great STAB's.
Mention Rapid Spin support on the second set.. obvious reasons. I'll give this a closer look later and then I'll approve it.

Don't worry, i'm allowing you to keep Mamoswine. Focus on fixing the issues present in Infernape.
As for Choice Scarf, mentioning it in OO should be fine. It isn't very good in OU since Mamoswine's STABs are easily abused, its somewhat made redundant by Ice Shard and the Pokemon that used to be susceptible to this set (Sub Chomp / Sub Loom) aren't as common as they used to be.

The Arab streets are becoming bloodier and bloodier. Dictators are simply killing innocent unarmed rotesters in teh street. Libya has almost killed 100 - the last 15 were with snipers at a funeral.
Why is the UN quiet? Why are all those fighting for human rights of the Palestians and Arabs quiet?
Why do I feel that personal politics takes precident over human rights violation. While the UN is discussing settlement building - yes BUILDING homes - hundred are being murdered in the street.

What are you talking about? The Arab populations all over the world are discussing this. We are under dictatorships.
We support the Libyan Revolution, we support the Egyptian Revolution. Your government did not support the Egyptian Revolution.
What nations are the dictators attacking? They are suppressing their people. The UN Security Council does not address that in general. Israel is recognized in the 1948 borders. When it places people in the West Bank it's doing so on land not recognized by the UN. Furthermore, there are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world and 300 million Arabs who consider Jerusalem and the West Bank to be important. Many Jews object to the settlements.
The reality is there are dictatorships in the Middle East that Israel in many case supports. It does not want democracy in a region where Arabs sympathize with Arabs under an occupation. It would be like expecting Jews to turn a blind eye to Jews being made to suffer by Catholics if they can do something about it. You are trying to downplay the crime of building settlements. That's all there is to it.The Arab dictators find the Arab-Israeli conflict and internal pressures regarding it a threat, so they go to the UN over it, naturally.
Why did you state something false about Palestinians saying never said they didn't want to negotiate while settlements are taking place? Why did you state something false and say those who sympathize with Palestinians are necessarily against the revolutions. Most people I know who support Palestinians supported Egypt while your country supported Mubarak. Palestinians and Arabs in general do not like the dictatorships.
Dictators like dictators. Colonial powers often put dictators in place or encourage them.
For a second, I thought you were genuinely concerned and considered the humanity of the Libyans and their suffering. I don't think you really care. You just care about your tribal concerns instead of a larger human, global one. Using the settlements to cheapen the struggle of the Libyan people is rather low. It's shameful.
"What are you talking about? The Arab populations all over the world are discussing this. We are under dictatorships." - Talking is not enough - your people are being slaughtered and massacred in teh streets and al you can do istalking about building houses in teh west bank.... Where is the UN? Have u seen the pictures of the army shooting rows of protersters - where is the outrage - where are the special session.
True Libya, Iran bahrain Syria are big fighters fo human rights for Palestianisn while the murder their own people!!!
This is an urgent issue- people are dying the street now- where is your outrage?
"Your government did not support the Egyptian Revolution." - Israel rightfully so did not take sides - Mubbrak was great to keep teh mideast calm, just as the Shau was in Iran. Look what happened there... How could Israel support democracy fro a people who cant seem to handle it...... All we need is a Suni Iran in our neighborhood.
"What nations are the dictators attacking? They are suppressing their people. The UN Security Council does not address that in general." - Are you mad that is exactly what they shoudl address - these are peopel fighting for their freedom from one of teh worst dictators - that is why the UN is there.
"The reality is there are dictatorships in the Middle East that Israel in many case supports" - I agree because Arabs dont know what do do with democracy - look at Iran, Gaza.... failed experiments.
"The Arab dictators find the Arab-Israeli conflict and internal pressures regarding it a threat, so they go to the UN over it, naturally." - the Arab dictators use Israel as an excuse as to teh oppression of their people. Kadaffi , Iran and teh rest blame teh Zionist for teh unrest in their country..... They teach their people that that have no human rights how horrible teh Zionists are - tell me the oppressive Saudi government is better to its people in terms of rights the Israel to its arab population - no way. Blaming teh Jews has always been a tool in history to cover your own ass..
"Why did you state something false about Palestinians saying never said they didn't want to negotiate while settlements are taking place?" - OK read what I wrote "Let me make myself clear - yes there have always been demands to halt settlement building ALWAYS - but it was never a pre-condition to talking." Not that they did not want to but they did! I dont like taht you keep misquoting me.
"You just care about your tribal concerns instead of a larger human, global one." I honestly do, teh pictures I have seen have horrified me. I am just unsure why you can so easily excuse it. Instead you focus on building homes...... that is not human rights- that is dirty politics.
You are trying to deflect from the illegality of the settlements. And I already quoted you were Qorei had halted discussions with Israel because of settlements, but you ignored it. So, it's not a new precondition if Qorei said that under Arafat. Do you think the dictators are going to condemn each other at the UN. If members of your community in AIPAC who live in a democracy and have free speech won't condemn settlements. Your country supports dictatorships in the region. When you tell your AIPAC to end its support of fascism when they have no dictatorship come and talk to me. The difference is I don't support fascism. You do. I am against the dictatorships and the Israeli occupation. I am consistent. You are not. You use the human rights abuses of dictators your country prefers to stay in power to cover for your own abuses. It's clear. What do Palestinians and settlements have to do with Saudi Arabia?
"And I already quoted you were Qorei had halted discussions with Israel because of settlements, but you ignored it. " - You brought in a quote from almost 15 years ago and since then settlement activity has been happening, not halted and so has the talks....Therefore this was not a precondition if it was there would not have been any talks since 1997....
Fascism? what are talking about? do you know what fascism is?
"a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. "
Given most Arab dictatorships if not all fit the bill but Israel....... seriously? I think you are just using words you dont understand for shock value and its a pity, instead of discussing the facts.
Palestinians and settlements have nothing to do with Saudi Arabia. That is why it is so shocking that all these dictators use it as an excuse to oppress their people - "blame the Jews".
My point was regarding the UN and how utterly corrupt and backwards it is. There are huge civil rights abuses occurring as we speak people being killed in teh street and settlements is the big issue to deal with. How many times were special sessions of the UN called over Israel on things like the Marvi Marmra or a Palestinian family being killed accidentally by a bomb. But when dictator massacre people in the hundred who cares?
Like I said settlements can be taken down, Israel has proven it time and again in the West bank, Gaza, Sinai, so what is the big deal? Why not talk? It's just not a real issue....... I dont consider building settlements a human rights abuse. Tearing down houses Jews or Arabs might be considered human rights abuse if they are done for political not civil reasons, just not building them.
Fascists believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[14] They claim that culture is created by the collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus they reject individualism.[14] Viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, they see pluralism as a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.[15][16] Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state.[17] Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the fascist state and the fascist movement.[18]
There are different definitions of fascism. Right wing governments are often viewed as fascist.
Israel is currently investigating Leftist groups in the country and their funding while not doing so for the groups on the Right. It is not exactly democratic vis-a-vis minorities in the state.
I will let that one go. If settlements can be dismantled why build them? If I destroyed your home wherever it is would it not be a big deal? You are trying to use the violations of human rights
by Libya or Saudi Arabia to justify Israel's actions in the West Bank? How does one wrong actions make another one right.
Dan, destroying homes of Palestinians violates their human rights. It should not matter if the person whose rights are violated are Ukrainians, Poles, Jews, or Arabs. Are you telling me if Polish Catholics destroyed Jewish homes it would not be a human rights issue? If Jewish property is destroyed in Europe would it be a human rights issue to you? The fact of the matter is that Arabs are essentially denied building permits to build homes. You know this to be true, and I have talked to a lady whose former husband worked in the ministry dealing with such things. You may deny it all you want, but it exists.
Why are Palestinian homes destroyed and land seized? It's for political, nationalistic reasons.
Your state believes in Greater Israel though in a modified form just as the Serbians believed in Greater Serbia when they destroyed Bosnian Muslim villages. Why else is Israel taking land and placing settlers? Why have all those Arabs been moved forcibly to place settlers there?
What kind of Palestinian would I be to sell my brothers to talk to Israel? Should I ignore that their homes get destroyed and land get seized? What kind of Jew would just turn a blind eye to Jews suffering like that? How would you feel if I asked you to ignore demolishing the homes of Jews?
Would you say it's not a big deal. Israel did build in the Sinai. Do you know how big Egypt is? The Sinai alone is much bigger than Palestine. The West Bank is tiny so every time land is seized Palestinians clearly feel it. The Syrians are displeased with settlements in the Golan, but it doesn't make it hard for them to develop.
Yes, settlements can be dismantled, but Israel should not seize land and demolish homes, period. As Hillel said, don't do to others what you would find hateful for you. And the fact of the matter is we hate seeing our brothers' homes demolished and land taken, so follow your religion and stop doing this. The TORAH says you shouldn't even cut down on an olive tree.
We ask for decency. Expand after an agreement with a proper understanding of coexistence.
If Jews who are Israeli citizens later want to live in downtown Nablus and buy property and live like Palestinians I have no problem with it, but using the IDF to expand to dispossess Palestinians and make it hard to have a two state solution I object to it.
"Israel is currently investigating Leftist groups in the country and their funding while not doing so for the groups on the Right. It is not exactly democratic vis-a-vis minorities in the state. " - There is a law that is currently in discussion and last I heard it will include both left and right wing groups...
"destroying homes of Palestinians violates their human rights" - if it is political reasons I agree 1000% just as I am sure you agree destroting Jewish homes also violates human rights.
You keep talking about destroying homes but this is not what anyone is talking about... Please address the BUILDING HOMES. That is what we are talking about here no?
I do not understand why you keep changing the topic
I think this post is yet another anti-arab statment and do not have any contribution to peace.
settlement building cannot be justified by Libya or even Arab problems
I am not justifying settlement building - I just think the UN has more important issues to deal with now. I think settlement building is simply an excuse for not talking.....
Curious as to how this post is anti-arab?
I am not sure how that makes it Anti-Arab? what does how the UN work have to do with Arabs?
Seriously, dont understand...My point is so much focus is put on Israel for every little thing it does in the name of human rights for an Arab population. But when it comes to major "real" human rights issues no one really seems to care. They just talk about Building houses...perplexes me. Nothing Anti-Arab about that as far as I know...
Neri is correct that you don't know the history of the UN and its construction and system. It doesn't easily interfere in the internal affairs of states. It, however, does express concern when it comes to violence, and it has done so regarding the Middle East.
The U.N.'s top human rights official has condemned the violence used by security forces in Libya, Bahrain and Yemen against anti-government protesters.
You seem to support settlements, Dan. You seem to say that it is not a big deal to destroy the homes
of human beings called Arabs because they are not called Jews. It would be the same if someone Polish said it was not a big deal of a Ruthenian or Jewish Pole has his home destroyed. It would be anti-Ruthenian and anti-Jewish. This comes from nationalistic prerogatives. How do you justify when the IDF destroys the homes of mainly Arabs in the West Bank? Also, if Palestinians in many cases have Ottoman Empire land deeds and Israel has not annexed the West Bank even, then why can't Palestinians build on lands their ancestors bought during the Ottoman Empire?
If you are not justifying settlement building what is your moral view regarding seizing land where Palestinians who have had ancestors who bought land from the Turks with their own money?
Even if you are not justifying the settlements, you are saying that one should ignore them because of Kaddafi is murdering Libyans. Is that the way to use the Libyans? Imagine if you were born to Libyan parents instead of being chosen to be born to Jewish parents. People don't simply just choose to be Jewish or Libyan and abused. I am not different than you. I just happened to get into a body that said
Palestinian and you were put into a body where your family said you are Jewish. But, we are the same so if I demolish your home you would feel the same since we have the same human DNA. Is it that hard to understand?
I was really horrified with how you used the protesters who are being brave and fighting against dictators to shield Israel's settlement activity. It doesn't make sense. Anyway, dictators are not going to attack dictators at the U.N., and you know this.
Put yourself in the shoes of a Palestinian family whose grandparents bought land from the Ottomans or Jordanians. You didn't steal it, you paid for it. You ask for a permit to build on that land. You are denied, but your kids and wife need somewhere to build. The IDF says you don't have a permit.
Now, think of it as a Jew seeing it happening to other Jews. You would be angry and very, very hurt if you care about other Jews. That's how Palestinians feel, Dan. They are human. They cry, die, and feel pain.
"You seem to say that it is not a big deal to destroy the homes of human beings called Arabs because they are not called Jews. " - Are u reading my Posts at all?
"destroying homes of Palestinians violates their human rights" - if it is political reasons I agree 1000% just as I am sure you agree destroting Jewish homes also violates human rights."
-Dan's post
I have written this over and over and over and you keep ignoring it!!!!!
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT DESTROYING HOMES. once again I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT DESTROYING HOMES...
My points are simple:
Please, Please Please do not answer something about destroying homes...I beg of you,.....Address the points I am trying to make

On a Monday morning in March 1970, Newsweek's cover on "Women in Revolt" hit the newsstands. It was the first serious treatment of the women's movement by a major newsmagazine. Ms. magazine, the bible of the movement, would not be launched until the following year. But any satisfaction the male editors might have enjoyed about their enterprising journalism was dispelled by a press conference held that same morning by the women of Newsweek to announce they were suing the magazine for gender discrimination.
The fallout from that lawsuit, which the women won, chipped away at the "Mad Men" culture that had reigned for so long, bringing women into the conversation and changing the way Newsweek reported on a broad array of issues that would over the decades transform life as I had known it.
Attitudes about women were pretty primitive back then. Before becoming a reporter, I was a girl Friday in the Atlanta bureau; when Katharine Graham, Newsweek's publisher, visited, we had to take her up the back stairs to the room we had reserved for lunch at the stodgy Commerce Club because women weren't allowed. We laughed at the absurdity of it even as changing the system didn't yet seem an option. In New York, Peter Goldman, the magazine's premiere writer, remembers Mrs. Graham talking about how, after her husband, Phil, died, she was thrust into the leadership of Newsweek and The Washington Post, and the lone woman on numerous corporate boards; when board members were polled on some company policy, he recalls her saying, they would go around the table and skip right over her.
The gender-discrimination suit against Newsweek opened the door for me to become a reporter at a time when the barriers were coming down for women, and the magazine, like the country, was catching up with half the population's ambitions, talents, and skills. From where I stood, every step forward seemed like a small miracle.
I was a new White House correspondent in the spring of 1977 when Jody Powell, President Carter's press secretary, tapped me on the shoulder in the press room and said the president wanted to see me. We were doing a cover on Rosalynn Carter, pegged to the president's decision to send his wife to represent him on a visit to Latin America. A first lady traveling alone in an official capacity proved surprisingly controversial. There were cries of "Who elected her?" and Newsweek commissioned a poll to survey public opinion. As I entered the Oval Office, Carter exclaimed, "You've come to talk about my Eleanor." It was clearly a play on Eleanor Roosevelt, the gold standard for first-lady activism, but it turns out Eleanor is also Rosalynn's first name. Carter was ahead of his time in declaring his wife an equal partner, and he didn't back down in the face of public pressure. (As for me, I figured this is what being a White House reporter is about—you get called in to chat with the president every so often. For the record, it never happened again.)
Consciousness raising was needed in the editorial offices of Newsweek, just as it was in Washington, D.C., and in the kitchens and bedrooms of Middle America. When Gloria Steinem, the avatar of the women's movement, was featured on an August 1971 cover, the text called her "The New Woman: Liberated Despite Beauty, Chic, and Success" (emphasis mine). Mrs. Graham, initially wary of feminism, gave Steinem $20,000 seed money to found Ms. magazine.
In 1975 bylines were added, giving writers and reporters recognition and making it easier to see how many women were rising in the editorial ranks. The magazine was eager to show off the strides that had been made. Merrill McLoughlin, an education writer, remembers being asked if she would use her nickname, Mimi, on a story she had written to run in the National Affairs section about the International Women's Conference in Houston in 1977. The male editor was proud that the story was reported by women and written by a woman, and felt her name was ambiguous. She declined, explaining Merrill was her professional name. There were awkward moments when editors realized at the last minute they needed a woman to fill out the table at a luncheon at Top of the Week, Newsweek's dining room. That's how McLoughlin once found herself seated next to Steve Jobs, "excruciatingly aware I was the only female and I knew nothing about him except what I'd hurriedly read before. I was the wrong person to be seated next to him."
I don't think many men would think they were wrongly seated, but these were the growing pains as men and women adjusted to changing roles. In 1978, Lynn Povich—one of the women who spearheaded the Newsweek suit and who became Newsweek's first female senior editor—suggested a cover on "How Men Are Changing" in a cover conference. The other editors mocked her, saying she must be having difficulty finding a date in her newly single status after a divorce. "I argued how can you change 50 percent of the population without affecting the other 50 percent?" She prevailed, and the cover drawing showed a man wearing an apron stirring a pot on the stove and looking down at a little girl holding a doll. Reflecting on the coverage in those days, Povich wonders, "Were we ahead of the times or just reflecting the times?" Either way, the times were changing.
Medicine and health stories flourished, many of them written by Jeanie Seligmann, who was promoted to writer after the suit, and those stories often broke new ground. Women's issues were in the news—breast cancer, the pill, the Dalkon Shield and what was wrong with it—and she covered them, prompting a male friend to tell her, "Your beat is from the ovary to the thigh." Seligmann did the first real story in a major magazine, in the early '70s, on anorexia and its prevalence. She reviewed Our Bodies, Ourselves for Newsweek, and a top editor had her change the word "rape" to "attack." But the male editors loved women's health stories. "Anything with the word 'breast' in it," says Seligmann, "and we got to run pictures, even if it was just drawings."
There was solidarity among women in those years that crossed political lines. In Congress, Democratic Rep. Patricia Schroeder co-chaired the Women's Caucus with Republican Rep. Olympia Snowe, and they counted on the media to neutralize and challenge the hysteria that accompanied the push for the Equal Rights Amendment—which failed largely over concerns about women in combat and unisex bathrooms—and the passage of Title IX, which equalized sports for women and girls. Schroeder recounts being assailed by lawmakers furious that funding for men's sports could be compromised; one Ohio congressman told her that if he voted for the measure he would never again get complimentary tickets to his favorite sports events.
The experience of sisterhood was powerful. When women who benefited from Title IX won Olympic gold in 1984 and came to Capitol Hill to thank the brave members who had voted for it, South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond showed up wanting his picture taken with the young women. "I like you girls," he said, smiling. They refused, smiling back, saying it would confuse people since he had not supported the legislation. That same year, when Geraldine Ferraro was nominated for vice president, I was on the floor of the Democratic convention, along with a lot of women. Many of the male delegates and journalists had given up their floor passes to women because it was such a special moment; we all had tears in our eyes. In 1992, the Year of the Woman, when a record number of women were elected to Congress, a congressman was quoted saying there were so many women on Capitol Hill, the place reminded him of a shopping mall. "I remember asking him, 'Where do you shop?' " Schroeder recalled, noting that women were still only 10 percent of the lawmakers.
Schroeder, always quick with a quip, found her words frequently featured on Newsweek's Perspectives page, which made its appearance in the '80s as part of a redesign. Calling President Reagan "the Teflon president" was one of her most memorable quotes. But when she ran for president in 1988, she couldn't have been more serious. And when she ended her run, giving in to tears, she was criticized for reinforcing the stereotype of the emotional female. "Newsweek covered it kind of straight up," she recalled, but others weren't so kind. One young woman, an editorial writer, said how "ashamed she was and it would set women back for centuries." For years afterward, Schroeder kept a "crying folder" of all the men who were applauded for tearing up in public, saying if she ran again, "I should get Kleenex as my corporate sponsor."
When Hillary Clinton came to Washington as first lady, it was as though some switch had been turned. Suddenly covering the president's wife was a hot beat. Here was a woman who epitomized the cultural battles of the '70s. She was as educated and ambitious as her husband, and had for a time even kept her own name before surrendering to tradition. "Buy one, get one free," was the Clinton mantra. Hillary would bring the country health care, a goal that set her at odds with Congress and prompted the same cries of "Who elected her?" that had dogged Rosalynn Carter a generation earlier. As Hillary's reform efforts stalled on Capitol Hill, I was summoned to an off-the-record session with the first lady in her second floor office in the West Wing. It was just the two of us, no aides. She talked about the private commitments she had from Democrats and Republicans alike, and how lawmakers wouldn't "dare" vote against health coverage for all Americans. What if she didn't prevail, I asked. With a wave of her arm, she said, "I can always travel." And that's what she did, turning her efforts away from policymaking into making a difference in other ways, declaring at the Beijing Conference on Women in 1995, "Women's rights are human rights."
By then, after the 1994 election, a whole new breed of lawmakers had taken control of Congress in a backlash to the Clintons. The new female members had cut their teeth in the pro-life movement, and their bringing their conservative ideas to Washington did away with the once easy assumption that if you were a woman, you were pro-choice and liberal when it came to women's issues. But the women's movement is not over. A majority of women (55 percent) identified as a feminist in a Ms. magazine exit poll in 2012. And as this election showed, those women are still engaging on issues of abortion, equal pay, violence against women, and access to birth control—with fiery passion. They know that this is about power, and when it's about power, you can never let up.

Monitoring and measuring growth plans
Sure, you're monitoring your revenue, expenses and profit closely. Most likely you're worried about the numbers and would like to be a bit healthier – but the economy's still sputtering along, and customers are holding back.
There's a problem with focusing on revenue and profit: They're too comprehensive, and too late. It's like trying to figure where to go on vacation just by looking at your tax return.
This is where you need to develop a solid set of Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs. These are measures of progress in specific parts of your business which are strategic and influential.
Let's suppose that you'd like to drive more customers into your business. There will be four parts to this process:
• Plan: Before you start a new investment to attract customers, you'll create a plan. It'll include the actions, investments, milestones and analysis of potential problems.
• Activity: To implement the plan, you'll take some kind of action. You'll refocus employees, change your advertising budget, implement a new campaign and so on.

2013/04/10 Extreme Miniaturization: Seven Devices, One Chip to Navigate without GPS The U.S. Military relies on the space-based Global Positioning System (GPS) to aid air, land and sea navigation. Like the GPS units in many automobiles today, a simple receiver and some processing power is all that is needed for accurate navigation. But, what if the GPS satellites suddenly became unavailable due to malfunction, enemy action or simple interference, such as driving into a tunnel? Unavailability of GPS would be inconvenient for drivers on the road, but could be disastrous for military missions. DARPA is working to protect against such a scenario, and an emerging solution is much smaller than the navigation instruments in today's defense systems. |
2013/04/16 Smaller Pixels, Smaller Thermal Cameras for Warfighters The military uses long-wave infrared (LWIR) cameras as thermal imagers to detect humans at night. These cameras are usually mounted on vehicles as they are too large to be carried by a single warfighter and are too expensive for individual deployment. However, DARPA researchers recently demonstrated a new five-micron pixel LWIR camera that could make this class of camera smaller and less expensive. |
