Egypt presses Hamas, Israel on new truceAugust 6, 2014 9:20 pm
CAIRO: Egyptian officials mediating talks for a durable truce in Gaza met an Israel delegation during the night and were to relay their demands to Palestinian representatives, Palestinian sources said on Wednesday.
The shuttle diplomacy comes as a fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after a month of fighting between Hamas and Israeli forces entered a second day on Wednesday.
Palestinian officials in Cairo said they would respond to the Israeli terms through the Egyptian intelligence officials, although a senior Hamas official has already rejected an Israeli demand that militants in Gaza disarm.
Meanwhile, international Middle East peace envoy Tony Blair and United Nations Middle East peace process coordinator Robert Serry were scheduled to hold talks with Egyptian officials later on Wednesday.
The Egyptian-mediated 72-hour ceasefire that went into effect on Tuesday has brought relief to both sides after fighting that erupted on July 8 killed 1,875 Palestinians and 67 people on the Israeli side.
The talks in Cairo are aimed at securing a durable ceasefire after the three-day window closes.
Experts say the underlying problems in Gaza, a small coastal enclave flanked by Israel and Egypt that has undergone three conflicts with Israel since 2008, would also have to be addressed.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, in a BBC interview, called for a sustained ceasefire but stressed that the crucial wider issues would need to be tackled.
The Palestinians demand an end to the eight-year Israeli blockade of Gaza and the release of Palestinian prisoners.
Israel has demanded that Hamas, which won Palestinian elections in 2006 although designated a terrorist group by the United States and Israel, to disarm its militia.
A senior Hamas official in Cairo said on Tuesday the militants would not even consider laying down their weapons, which include an arsenal of unguided rockets and anti-tank missiles.
"Whoever tries to take our weapons, we will take his life," said Ezzat al-Rishq on Twitter.
One Response to Egypt presses Hamas, Israel on new truce
The hatred between Israel and Hamas, and or Hezbollah are so deeply rooted that there is no human born yet in the present generation that will be able to settle their problems. Only God can settle their animosity towards each other.

This is a 2009 Suzuki B-King with under 200 miles. This is the actual motorcycle used in the movie, with artist proof and artwork.
The entire paint job is PAINT, no stickers. I designed and built this bike and the others from the movie, and it has been in my collection since. It has never been ridden since the movie wrapped shooting and is on Ca Non Op. Unlike almost every movie car or bike, this is built to a very high standard, and is ready to ride. It does have a full custom LED light kit as well.
This is a unique chance to own a piece of movie and Transformers movie history.
This bike is as new in almost every way, save the parts that made it Chromia in the movie

First They Came for My Assault Rifle.
[Originally published January 14, 2013.]
First, they came for unregulated handguns in the possession of citizens with violent criminal records, and I said, "You know, that sounds reasonable. Someone with a violent criminal record has probably lost his or her right to possess a handgun. So, yeah, sounds good."
Then they came to require background checks, gun licenses, and regular gun safety courses, and I said, "All of this sounds fine to me. Guns are dangerous, and we regulate every other dangerous product. So, really, whatever you want to do on this is also fine."
Then they came for my assault rifle, and I said, "Assault rifles? You should have started with assault rifles. You're doing this backwards. But OK, of course you can have my assault rifle. Why do I need an assault rifle?"
Then they came to guarantee mental health care to everyone, because our treatment of our most vulnerable citizens is a measure of our dignity as a society, and I said, "This one is obvious. In fact, I can't believe we HAVEN'T been guaranteeing mental health care for everyone who needs it. Let's get going on this."
Then they said, "We may have to increase taxes on corporations and upper-bracket income earners to pay for this," and I said, "Well, that would only be fair." And they said, "We're just saying." And I said, "Really, it's fine. We're on the same page here." And they said, "OK then." And I said, "But thanks for letting me know." And they said, "Sure. Any time."
Then they said, "You know, it's really nice that we're having this conversation," and I said, "I agree, seems long overdue."
Then they said, "You know, this piece seems fine so far. But maybe it takes itself a little too seriously, even in the solemn wake of our national tragedy," and I said, "I can live with that. What do you want?" And they said, "How about a zombie comically roaming through a suburban strip mall at the height of the holiday shopping season?" And I said, "Well, even that reliable humorous convention might seem a little indelicate at this time." And they said, "I see your point," but still I said, "Let's add one anyway!" And so we added a zombie comically roaming through a suburban strip mall at the height of the holiday shopping season, and for good measure I threw in a bumbling couple on their first date spilling their over-sized bucket of popcorn as they scrambled to get out of the way.
And then there was a silence, which was like a moment of prayer. And this was just before we went our separate ways, and it lasted a good minute—I mean, maybe it was only 45 seconds, but it felt like at least a minute, maybe more.
And when it was over they said, "I see what you mean about the zombie."
And then there was another silence, that was maybe not as long, and I just looked down and said, "Yeah, I know."

Congress synonymous with inflation, massive corruption, inefficiency: BJP
New Delhi: Launching a frontal attack on the Congress Party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Vice President Balbir Punj on Sunday said that the ruling party at the centre which has become synonymous with inflation and massive corruption needs to be thrown out.
"Congress which has become synonymous with inflation, massive corruption and inefficiency needs to be thrown out of this country," Punj said.
"Narendra Modi has only reiterated, what the whole country experiences today. There is rampage corruption and massive inflation under UPA 2," Punj said when asked about Gujarat Chief Minister`s address to the Indian Diaspora through a live video conference on Saturday, in which he challenged UPA leaders to submit a performance report on nine-years of rule.
"The life of common man has become very hard. The rule of UPA since last 10 years has been very troublesome for people," Punj added.
BJP`s prime ministerial candidate Modi has also hoped that the 2014 general elections, like in 1977, would reflect the voice of the people of India.
"This government, which has downgraded the country, has to go. Let us affirm that this Government has to go democratically. We should work for a progressive BJP government," he said.

Wiktionary:Word of the day/Nominations
This page is for nominating future Word of the Day entries. The philosophy behind our WOTD feature is similar to that of Wikipedia's featured articles. The main goals are:
- to highlight the best of Wiktionary's definitions by featuring them on the Main Page,
- to nurture people's natural interest in unusual words and phrases, and
- to help readers improve their vocabulary.
- 1 What to nominate
- 2 What not to nominate
- 3 Updating guide
- 4 How to nominate

What to nominate[edit]
Exotic usefulness[edit]
An ideal WOTD candidate is a word (or phrase) likely to be encountered in a newspaper or in literature. It should be exotic enough that it adds to readers' vocabularies, but not so unusual that it cannot be used in everyday conversation.
For example, the word the wouldn't work because it's too common. It may have an interesting entry, but it is a staple found in every English speaker's lexicon. At the other extreme, antidisestablishmentarianism — a perennial favorite of WOTD nominators — is simply too unusual. No one is going to use that word in everyday conversation, unless they sit around discussing church-state separation in 19th-century England. (That this word was in fact featured as a Word of the Day in no way makes it easier to use and is more related to the fact that it was featured before this section was written.)
Before nominating a word, you might want to look through our index of past Words of the Day and at the word's page itself to make sure it (or a variation of it) hasn't already been featured.
Also keep in mind that featured words are chosen to reflect a variety of:
- parts of speech — Nouns, verbs and adjectives should appear more or less equally, but we also need good adverbs, idioms, set phrases and the like.
- languages of origin — Many English words derive ultimately from Latin or Greek precursors, but English has borrowed from, and styled itself after, many other languages, so try to mix it up a bit.
- initial letters — Not all interesting words start with J, K, Q or Z.
What not to nominate[edit]
These are in addition to the other warnings already mentioned above.
- No long words – We've already featured enough interesting words over 15 characters long – please wait until after 2017 to renominate any of them.
- No "redlinks" (missing pages) — If a word is not yet in Wiktionary, it belongs at Wiktionary:Requested entries, not here. (Better yet, why not create the entry yourself?)
- No offensive words — Please avoid profanity. A nominated word should not offend the average person, nor should it be something you would be embarrassed to use in front of your boss or your grandmother (or your boss's grandmother, for that matter). Wiktionary defines profane words in part so people know not to use them in polite company. WOTD nominations, on the other hand, should be words that people can safely use in everyday speech. Note also that many parents and schools automatically filter out pages that include certain offensive words, so featuring such a word on the Main Page would restrict access to Wiktionary itself.
- Avoid abbreviations — Abbreviations, initialisms, acronyms, symbols, and the like are unlikely to be selected without extremely convincing reasons. In other words, don't nominate WYSIWYG, dpi, or ☿. Symbols in particular cause problems for readers who lack the required fonts, and are therefore unlikely to be featured.
- Avoid proper nouns — Names of specific people, places, or entities are better suited to featuring in an encyclopedia. Such words rarely have interesting definitions or translations.
- Stick to English — The featured word is an English term because this is the English Wiktionary. For foreign words and phrases see the Foreign Word of the Day.
- No previous selections — We want to feature new selections, not the same selections over and over. Please check the list of previous Words of the Day, to be certain it has not been selected previously. In addition, you should see a little "previous WOTD" box in the top right-hand corner of any such entries.
- Avoid other WOTDs — We want to feature words that haven't been WOTDs for other dictionaries, partly to highlight unique terms that make Wiktionary so special, partly to avoid complaints (by preventing the possibility entirely) that WOTDs were "stolen" from other dictionaries.
- Avoid purely obsolete words – Words whose definitions are only obsolete, archaic, rare or similar should be avoided as hard to use in practice. A word that has a sense marked as rare, etc, in addition to a more common sense is fine.
Updating guide[edit]
If you are familiar with using wikitext, please help update future Words of the Day! Do consider a quid pro quo – promoting one or two older nominations as Words of the Day for each new nomination that you make. Click on the "Expand" link below for a detailed guide on how to do this.
|Click here for the guide
How to nominate[edit]
Follow the Nominate a new word link below and add your word(s) to the top of the list. Please link your word to our page for it by typing {{wotd-nom|EXAMPLE_WORD}} (be sure to get the capitalization right, and replace "EXAMPLE_WORD" with the word that you want to nominate). You might want to include a concise reason or justification for the nomination. A definition is not necessary since our page for the word should already contain a good definition.
In case there are questions about your word(s), it is imperative that you sign your nomination by adding four tildes (~~~~) at the end. (Although it is not required, you can quickly register for free if you don't already have a username.)

Home > Press > Nanosilver: a new name – well known effects
|TEM image of silver nanoparticles in the algicide Algaedyn used for swimming pools. Courtesy EMPA
At work against microbes for over a century
Nanosilver is not a new discovery by nanotechnologists - it has been used in various products for over a hundred years, as is shown by a new Empa study. The antimicrobial effects of minute silver particles, which were then known as "colloidal silver", were known from the earliest days of its use.
As early as the 19th century minute silver particles were used, for example in antibacterial water filters.
Numerous nanomaterials are currently at the focus of public attention. In particular silver nanoparticles are being investigated in detail, both by scientists as well as by the regulatory authorities. The assumption behind this interest is that they are dealing with a completely new substance. However, Empa researchers Bernd Nowack and Harald Krug, together with Murray Heights of the company HeiQ have shown in a paper recently published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology that nanosilver is by no means the discovery of the 21st century. Silver particles with diameters of seven to nine nm were mentioned as early as 1889. They were used in medications or as biocides to prevent the growth of bacteria on surfaces, for example in antibacterial water filters or in algaecides for swimming pools.
The material has always been the same
The nanoparticles were known as "colloidal silver" in those days, but what was meant was the same then as now - extremely small particles of silver. The only new aspect is the use today of the prefix "nano". "However," according to Bernd Nowack, "nano does not mean something new, and nor does it mean something that is harmful." When "colloidal silver" became available on the market in large quantities in the 1920s it was the topic of numerous studies and subject to appropriate regulation by the authorities. Even in those days the significance of the discovery of nanoparticles and how they worked was realized. "That is not to say that the possible side-effects of nanoparticles on humans and the environment should be played down or ignored," adds Nowack. It is important to characterize in exact detail the material properties of nanosilver and not just to believe unquestioningly the doubts and reservations surrounding the product.
Nanosilver has different effects than silver
The term nanoparticle is understood to refer to particles whose dimensions are less than 100 nm. Because of their minute size nanoparticles have different properties than those of larger particles of the same material. For example, for a given volume nanoparticles have a much greater surface area, so they are frequently much more reactive than the bulk material. In addition, even in small quantities nanosilver produces more silver ions than solid silver. These silver ions are toxic to bacteria. Whether or not nanosilver represents a risk to humans and the environment is currently the subject of a great deal of investigation.
120 Years of Nanosilver History: Implications for Policy Makers, Bernd Nowack, Harald F. Krug, Murray Height, Environ Sci Technol, 2011, DOI: 10.1021/es103316q
Nanosilver in wastewater treatment plants
Currently there are hundreds of products in circulation which contain silver nanoparticles. Examples include cosmetics, food packaging materials, disinfectants, cleaning agents and - not least - antibacterial socks and underwear. Every year some 320 tonnes of nanosilver are used worldwide, some of which is released into wastewater, thus finding its way into natural water recirculation systems. What effects solar particles have on rivers, soil and the organisms that live in them has not yet been clarified in detail. A commentary by Bernd Nowack in the scientific journal "Science" discusses the implications of the newest studies on nanosilver in sewage treatment plants. More than 90% remains bound in the sewage sludge in the form of silver sulfide, a substance which is extremely insoluble and orders of magnitude less poisonous than free silver ions. It apparently does not matter what the original form of the silver in the wastewater was, whether as metallic nanoparticles, as silver ions in solution or as precipitated insoluble silver salts. "As far as the environmental effects are concerned, it seems that nanosilver in consumer goods is no different than other forms of silver and represents only a minor problem for eco-systems," says Nowack. What is still to be clarified, however, is in what form the unbound silver is present in the treated water released from sewage works, and what happens to the silver sulfide in natural waters. Is this stable and unreactive or is it transformed into other forms of silver?
Nanosilver Revisited Downstream, Bernd Nowack, Science, 2010, Vol. 330 no. 6007, pp. 1054-1055, DOI: 10.1126/science.1198074

Jimmy Miles Duffey treated for injuries, arrested
Portland police are investigating how a patrol car accidentially rolled over a jaywalking suspect Monday evening.
Jimmy Miles Duffey, 31, was treated at a hospital for non-life threatening injuries and released. He was then booked into the Multnomah County Jail on an outstanding warrant and charges of Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree and Interfering with a Police Officer.
According to police at 8:41 p.m. on Nov. 19, officers got out of their patrol car to talk to an adult male after observing him jaywalk in the area of Southwest 12th Avenue and Columbia Street. The suspect, later identified Duffey, ran from officers but eventually was caught at Southwest Park Avenue and Main Street.
An officer was in the process of taking Duffey into custody when a cover officer arrived to assist in the arrest. The cover officer got out of the car and the car, still in gear, began to move forward and ran over Duffey who was lying on the ground.
A third officer ran and jumped into the moving car and got it stopped. Medical personnel were immediately called to help the injured Duffey.
The Portland Police Bureau's Traffic Division conducted an investigation into the incident and will forward the results to the Police Bureau's Collision Review Board.

Belden has launched a new and innovative range of Belden Brilliance High Definition (HD) BNC Connectors. Designed for use with Belden Brilliance Coax Cables, these new Belden HD Brilliance Connectors deliver unparalleled end-to-end performance.
The new family of BNC connectors offers the exceptional performance and rock-solid reliability required by the professional broadcast and professional audio/video market. The connectors also provide better than -20dB return loss performance through 4.5GHz, exceeding SMPTE specification requirements.
The new Belden Brilliance HD Connector line is comprised of one -piece BNC compression connectors with an optional patented locking feature, optimized three-piece BNC crimp connectors, and connector tools for both one-piece and three-piece connectors.
Belden's HD Brilliance one-piece BNC compression connector design eliminates the pin, collar and connector as separate components, providing faster, easier installation. In tests, installation took about half the time to secure the one-piece connector design versus traditional three-piece connectors. In addition, the one-piece connectors provide excellent holding strength and weather resistance, thanks to internal 360-degree compression rings. A non-blind entry ensures that the center conductor is properly inserted into the center pin. And, improved insulation materials (PTFE) help to deliver maximum return loss performance.
The patented HD Brilliance one-piece BNC locking connector features an optional patented screw-on locking collar that securely aligns the connector and locks the bayonet nut of the BNC in place. This delivers an unparalleled level of electrical performance. By stabilizing and reducing the amount of potential movement between the connector and cable, the Belden HD Brilliance Locking Connector delivers the line's best return loss performance, exceeding -40dB at 4GHz.
Belden's HD Brilliance one-piece compression Connectors provide a more consistent result in field installations, with less reliance on the skill of the installer. The simple tools and installation steps mean every connection is correct and high performing, reducing installation costs due to failed connections, troubleshooting, reworks and overall labor costs.

Maybe it's because I've lived in Alice Springs that I liked this book so much, but I found this book a really authentic view of the problems experienced and life on an Aboriginal community.
