Leaders urged to curb climate vulnerability
by ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies on 28 Nov 2011
Reef - Leaders urged to curb climate vulnerability Joshua Cinner
Representatives of the world's governments meeting in Durban this week have been advised by scientists that urgent action is needed to reduce the vulnerability of communities worldwide likely to be worst affected by the impacts of climate change.
In a new scientific paper and book, leading marine researchers Dr Josh Cinner of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (CoECRS) and James Cook University, and Tim McClanahan of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) propose a novel framework for helping millions of people most at risk to cope with massive changes in their jobs, lives, and environment driven by the warming climate.
Their proposal comes as representatives of 194 nations gather in Durban, South Africa, today for the critical 17th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the signatories to the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change.
Based on a study of 1500 households in 29 coastal communities fringing the east African coast and islands of the western Indian Ocean, the researchers have developed a method for identifying the communities most vulnerable to climate change and prioritizing actions at local, national and international level to help them.
'In this region, climate change is not some distant possibility far into the future- it already happened when extreme coral bleaching killed 90% of the corals in some places,' says Dr Cinner.
'We looked first at exposure – how likely it was a community would experience an extreme event caused by climate change, such as mass coral bleaching. This can be affected by sea surface temperature, currents, prevailing winds, and other oceanographic conditions,' he explains. 'Then we looked at the social components of people's vulnerability – for example, whether they had alternative sources of food or employment. And finally we looked at their capacity to adapt to the changes inflicted by a shifting climate.
'Together these three factors define how vulnerable a community and individuals are to climate change,' adds Dr McClanahan.
'From there it is possible to identify the most appropriate actions that can be taken in the short, medium and long-term at local, national and global level to reduce that vulnerability, and equip these communities to cope better with what will happen to them.'
In a new paper in the journal Global Environmental Change, the researchers and their colleagues propose a systematic way to assess the vulnerability of coastal communities to loss of coral reefs and fish stocks due to climatic factors.
'We want people to understand that every community is different, that there are no 'one-size fits all' solutions when it comes to adapting to climate change,' Dr Cinner says. 'Each situation is unique, requiring a flexible approach.'
'Hundreds of millions of people worldwide depend on coral reefs – for livelihoods in fishing and tourism, for food and for coastal protection,' says co-author on the study Dr. Tim Daw of the University of East Anglia and Stockholm Resilience Centre.
'However, not all reefs are equally vulnerable to impacts like bleaching, and not all communities are equally dependent on reefs for their living. Some have greater capacity to adapt to sudden changes than others.'
This heterogeneity creates different types of vulnerabilities in coastal communities, which in turn require specific approaches to reduce communities' sensitivity to big changes and enhance their ability to cope, the researchers say.
In their book 'Adapting to a Changing Environment - Confronting the Consequences of Climate Change' Cinner and McClanahan argue using data from a larger study of the Indian Ocean and Africa that confronting the challenges of climate change in the coming century will require strengthening of a society's flexibility, assets, capacity to learn, and social organizations, as well as restricting or limiting its resource use.
This has to be done based on the context and vulnerability of the individual community, not in a broad-brush way, they argue.
'We studied communities that depend on coral reefs, because they typify those that are highly susceptible to climate change. However, our general approach applies equally to agricultural, desert, mountain and other communities, who will also be exposed to major changes in temperature and extreme events by the mid-century,' says Dr Cinner.
'We have created a framework which can help identify different types of vulnerability to major climatic impacts and provide policy makers with tangible actions to reduce it,' the researchers say.
'It will take a long time to implement global action to reduce carbon emissions, but action can be taken right away to help reduce the impacts on the world's most vulnerable. COP17 provides a clear opportunity to make an early start.'

Not much to write about this week. Very little change in my Top 25. USC creeps back into the Top 10 after a dominating win over Oregon. The Trojans leap frog idle Georgia. The Bulldogs drop one spot to #10 this week. The Dawgs have a rebound game this week against Tennessee on KKTV at 1:30 next Saturday before they get upstart Vanderbilt on October 18th.
Speaking of Vandy. Jay Cutler is beaming with pride after the Commodores knocked off Auburn for the school's first 5-0 start since 1943. They are the biggest mover in my poll, from #19 to #14.
The Red River Showdown (or shootout, or rivalry or whatever they're calling it this year) will be Spectacular to say the least. #1 Oklahoma vs #5 Texas! It will mark the first time since 2004 that both teams are ranked in the Top Five. The Sooners will be tested to say the least. Colt McCoy and company were very efficient Saturday night in Boulder with a 24-point win. I can't wait for next Saturday!

8 Ways To Increase Your Mental Strength
Editor's Note: Wanha from Reddit, shares his advice on what it takes to increase mental toughness.
I've always been fascinated with mental toughness and athletes who possess it, and I've spent many years trying to understand this topic.
Much of our physical ability is determined by our body structure. I can train as much as I want, but I'll never beat Usain Bolt in a footrace. Mental toughness, on the other hand, is something that can be learned and cultivated, it can be forged through practice and struggle. Naturally some people are born with a higher level of mental toughness than others, but on the whole it's a skill that anyone can cultivate to a relatively high level.
Mental toughness is the ability to perform at an optimal level when the stakes are at their highest. Whether that means closing a huge sale or fighting back from the brink of defeat, mental toughness means we don't allow the situation to overwhelm us emotionally.
One of the most respected NFL coaches, Bill Belichick, defines mental toughness as
"doing what's right for the team regardless of how you might be feeling at the time."
In other words, mental toughness is about sacrifice, doing something that's difficult, pushing past your threshold, playing injured or playing a role you might not be comfortable playing. It's about putting the team first.
But talking about mental toughness is easy. For every athlete that is mentally tough, there are probably ten athletes that aren't.
So how do we improve our mental toughness?
Control Your Mind Or It Will Control You
Boiled down to its most basic elements, mental toughness comes down to two choices: to control your mind, or to let your mind control you.
When we don't control our minds, we accept whatever programming that has been inputted earlier. You see, most of us never chose our current mental programming, we simply stumbled onto it, and now it's the way we deal with life's various challenges and situations.
For example, if your default reaction to high-stake moments is fear, anxiety or over-excitment, it's because somewhere down the line you learned that that strategy works for you. That's obviously not a particularly smart strategy, but at the time when you accepted it as part of your programming it was clearly good enough. And once we accept a programming, we usually stop thinking about it and it becomes our default reaction for similar situations.
So if we want to increase our mental toughness, we are going to have to do a little reprogramming of our minds first. From my experience, the key to being mentally tougher is to control your focus and eliminate the little voice of doubt and critique.
It's All in Your Mind
Most articles you will find on this topic break mental toughness down into various subcategories, such as focus, poise, confidence, courage, and so forth. Although that may make sense from a scientific perspective, I've found that such an approach makes it difficult for the average person to put any of the advice to use.
So what follows is my attempt to provide an easier and more natural process to help you perform better when it really counts. I've successfully used these techniques myself over the past few years and I believe they can do the same for you.
Let's get to them.
I. Be Positive. I Mean REALLY, REALLY POSITIVE
It's easy to get down on yourself and let the inner critic run free when things aren't going well, but that isn't going to help you.
Instead, fight the urge to criticize and ask yourself if you can make a commitment that you will only bring forth positive energy for the remainder of the match. I've found that when you prioritize eliminating all negative thoughts, your focus automatically shifts to the positive ones, and that in turn makes you more likely to enjoy and excel in the big moment.
II. Focus Only On What You Control
Yes, we play to win, that's why we keep score. But spending time thinking about the potential outcome just diverts your focus and fills your head with unimportant, distracting thoughts.
The remedy is to be present in the moment and let nature take its course. Focus only on the things you actually control: your approach and your attitude. What happens after the next point or after the match doesn't matter. I've found this approach helps me relax, focus and play my best at the key moments.
III. Keep Your Emotional Level Steady
Some of us get more easily up and down that others. The more up and down you get, the more likely you are going to get over-excited or overwhelmed by the situation, and that puts you in a bad spot to win the big points consistently.
The key is to distance yourself from the game just enough so that you're not swept away with the emotional tides. Don't only focus on not getting down – also make sure you don't get too high either, because that disrupts your focus also. Visualize remaining calm and composed in even the biggest situations. Act like you've been in those situations a hundred times, and eventually you'll feel like it too.
IV. Enjoy The Big Moments
This is probably my favorite technique because it takes a moment that is stressful and intimidating and turns it into a moment that's fun and exciting – something you actually look forward to.
The next time you find yourself in a big moment in a game (e.g. a tiebreak in tennis), remind yourself how exciting and fun these big moments are compared to a casual game with nothing at stake. These are the moments you'll remember and what you'll all discuss after the games – enjoy them, embrace them, and feel them with every cell in your body.
V. A Prepared Mind is a More Confident Mind
It's been said that self confidence is 'your ability to influence the world around you'. What better way to do that than through practice?
When you know you've practiced a single shot a thousands of times, you have a lot more faith in being able to rely on your training in a big moment. You don't need to 'will' yourself to do something that has very little chance of succeeding. Remind yourself that all that sweat and sacrifice was a price you paid so you could be victorious today.
VI. Forget About How You Might Look
Sometimes we start thinking how bad we might appear to others if we lose this point – or how embarrassing it would be to blow a big lead. But the moment you start thinking from the outside in, you lose your focus and your ability to stay calm and composed.
Thinking from the outside in is toxic. You are not doing this to "look good" or win the admiration of onlookers, so put all thoughts about looking bad out of your mind and just focus on playing the game one point at a time. Win or loss – do it your way.
VII. Have a Short Memory
This is also one of my favorites. It's so easy to get angry and criticize ourselves when we make a mistake, but all that usually does is turn one bad play into another.
If the previous point or play didn't go your way, you need to forget it immediately and concentrate on the next one. Don't let one bad play ruin the next one.
Just make a note and move on.
VIII. Don't Expect Perfect Circumstances
It's easy to say the conditions were poor, you had a little ailment or that nothing is going your way today. But these are all just excuses that tempt you down the road of surrender.
You only get the perfect circumstances so many times in life. Don't dwell on what has gone against you. Don't worry that the conditions favor your opponent. Ignore the pain you feel in your knee.
What you have is what you have. There will never be another chance to win this game.
Be like MacGyver and use everything that you have at your disposal to succeed right now.
Mental toughness is really just about approaching the game from the right perspective. The next time you step out onto the field, ignore the score, focus being in the moment and tell that little, criticizing and excuse-seeking voice in your head to shut the hell up. You'll be glad you did.
Excellent . Article . Thank you Joel
What an excellent post!
Simply awesome post and the pic that you used in your post , Very nice suggestions and I will try to apply these ways to increase my mental strength. Thanks for sharing
Great article. Thank you Joel. All you have said can be applied to develop a very strong mental attitude in any life endevor.
Thank you Mr. Joel.
Every time I am getting better and better from YOU. God bless you.
Once again, thank you Joel. Great stuff that awaken our inner strength…especially when one thinks there is none left.
This was good, but primarily everything related to sports. I am a sports buff as much as the next guy but where I measure mental toughness is in the vicissitudes of life, periods of unemployment and your family is depending on you, sickness in the family that is life threatening and you are the captain of the ship and need to make life changing decisions. This requires a mental toughness far surpassing batting in the 9th with 2 outs.
thanks joel for inspiring me.weather you can or you can't just focus
Accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative plus seven other really great mental strategies.
Great, Being as a lecturer, I want to be a person with strong mentality and motivation to inspire my students too
Actually these are simple and logic advices but still they are really valuable if you think about them thoroughly ! Thanks for this compilation.
I am a high school baseball coach and I would really like to instill many of these ideas and principles in my players. The trick is to do it in such a way that they believe in and accept as something of value to them. I am going to revert back to this post from time to time to implement these ideas and help pass them on to my players. Thank you for a great blog post!
its so amazing how we can be able to take control of our mental abilities…its possible..thnx joel
This is absolutely amazing and fascinating far beyond what i thought!!It is so inspiring!
Once you change your mindset, everything else will follow. If you think of yourself as awesome and don't let anything or anyone put you down, it will show in the way you act. To change the way you are, you got to change the way you think, and this list is a great overview of how to start. Keep it up!
Celebrating my wins to anchor the feeling and replay it in my mind when the need arises is another tip that has helped me to increase my mental toughness as well.
Great article Joel – Thanks so much.
this is good.
thank you so much for this inspiration mental toughness article, going practice this steps for a week and in every situation where it calls, keep posting such great articles.
So much to learn. Thank you very much.
Love this! They're all great but really feel "Forget About How You Might Look" stands in a ton of people's way. Great post!
I used to believe that I had mental strength that exceeded the norm – everyone else said so, and the results seemed to speak for themselves. It turned out that I had just been lucky. When things around me truly went downhill all at once, I went with them.
One thing I'd note is that it's not quite enough to be emotional steady ; in many ways emotions can just lead you back to the same rumination. Self-insight requires persistence, mindfulness and humility; real strength knows its limits and appreciates them as information.
Thank You very much for this post. I was a bit confused recently but now it is somewhat clear. Enjoyed reading every bit of it. I know they're not really new, but thinking about them from time to time is another kind of good habit.
I fully agree Granville. Reading them from time to time keeps it like a part of your daily routine and will definitely change the way you think.

Unfortunately, it is simply human nature to forget things at times, but forgetting a court appearance can have major consequences. Most importantly, if someone misses a misdemeanor criminal court appearance, generally a warrant will be issued for their arrest. They will ultimately likely be arrested, held in custody and only released after they bond out or appear before a judge.
Even worse, if someone misses a felony court appearance, they will likely be charged with Failure to Appear, which is a third degree felony in Florida and carries a maximum of five (5) years in prison. Many jurisdictions, including Polk and Pinellas counties, charge these regularly. As we have told countless individuals, these are the types of charges that ultimate result in people scoring state prison on their Criminal Scoresheets, when they previously would not have.
Additionally, if you posted a cash bond, you will lose the bond money given to the Court. It could also affect your future ability to get bondsmen to post bonds for you, if you have a well-documented history of failing to appear.
In the future, presiding judges will likely increase bond amounts in light of the previous failures to appear at court appearances.
If you have missed a court date, contact the experienced criminal defense lawyers of Blumenauer Hackworth for a free case consultation to discuss your options. We can consider filing a motion to withdraw the capias to attempt to have the warrant withdrawn and prevent your arrest. Additionally, we can discuss attempting to resolve the underlying charge as well. We look forward to hearing from you for a free consultation.

Darren Helm is heating up! Helmer has scored three goals in the past two games for the Red Wings including the game-winner in last nights 3-2 victory over the Rangers. With Helm's speed, a lot of scoring chances will present themselves, especially playing along side Pavel Datsyuk and Tomas Tatar.
He's Detroit's 'Hot Wing' by Buffalo Wild Wings!
Be ready to play - Quick turnaround for the Red Wings after arriving late last night. Carolina didn't play yesterday and will be fresh. Detroit needs to focus and stay mentally tough.
Be on the attack - Carry the play to the Hurricanes. Get traffic in front of the net and compete hard.

Stay Positive: A Radical Alternative to the Gay Blood Ban
In December last year, the FDA lifted its longtime policy of deferring any blood or tissue donations coming from men who have had sex with other men at any time since 1977. The new policy defers only those men who have had sex with other men within one year of donation. This might seem like a positive change in U.S. blood and tissue donation policy. Any shift towards inclusion should be considered a step in the right direction, right? The history of the "gay blood ban," its implications in sexual politics and the state, and the prevalence of HIV criminalization policy, however, render this potential shift meaningless at best and harmful at worst. A more radical HIV tissue and blood donation policy based on informed consent would not only dramatically increase the supply of U.S. blood and tissue banks, but also fight HIV stigma and dismantle the pathologization of gay sexuality, which such discriminatory HIV policy engenders.

Call the Medical Missionary: Religion and Health Care in Twentieth-Century Britain
By Sarah Jane Bodell
If you have ever seen the popular BBC/PBS television program Call the Midwife[1] then you know that the central setting, Nonnatus House, is an Anglican religious order in the East End of London in the 1950s, offering midwifery and medical services to the community. Nonnatus House and Call the Midwife are semi-fictitious creations of author Jennifer Worth, who based them on her experiences as a midwife in East London with the real Community of St. John the Divine (CSJD). Institutions such as CSJD, still in operation in Birmingham today, have existed throughout London and Britain since the mid-nineteenth century. These religion-based medical charities took many forms, from small-scale dispensaries to large-scale hospitals, most offering a specialization. Some were rooted in monastic orders (as with Call the Midwife); some grew out of particular congregational societies; most, though, were established as standalone medical missions, which will be the focus of this post.
Female Circumcision, Clitoridectomy, and American Culture
By Sarah Rodriguez
In the United States, female circumcision (the removal of the clitoral hood) and clitoridectomy (the removal of the external nub of the clitoris) are nearly always regarded as practices that happen someplace else. When their presence within the United States is acknowledged, these procedures are positioned as having come from the outside, as originating with immigrants from parts of the world where they are performed as an "initiation rite" for young girls. Indeed, termed FGM/C (female genital mutilation/cutting) by the WHO and USAID, the practices are deemed to be cultural and performed for "non-medical reasons."
Clio Reads: A Review of Feminism Unfinished
By Carrie Pitzulo
In Feminism Unfinished: A Short, Surprising History of American Women's Movements, historians Dorothy Sue Cobble, Linda Gordon, and Astrid Henry survey the women's movement from 1920 to the present. That periodization might be, as their title suggests, surprising to some readers, since "the" women's movement is primarily associated with the 1960s and 1970s. But Cobble, Gordon, and Henry argue for a long women's movement, stretching from labor activists in the mid-twentieth century, through the liberationists of the postwar years, to the feminist bloggers of the new millennium. They assert, "there was no period in the last century when women were not campaigning for greater equality and freedom. Feminism has been not a series of disconnected upsurges but a continuous flow."[1] In making the case that the women's movement was never, in fact, "in the doldrums," the scholars pull varied activists and causes into the tent, expanding the definition of American feminism itself, as well as our historical understanding of it.
The Nanny State on Your Plate?
By Rachel Louise Moran
In late-November, the FDA finalized new rules for calorie counts on menus. In about a year, all food establishments with over twenty locations will need to post the calories of regular items directly on the menu. Other nutrition facts must be available on request. In about two years, vending machine companies owning more than twenty machines will need to display a poster listing items' calories. When the rules were released, few of the responses were shocking. The Center for Science in the Public Interest described the rules as "the culmination of a decade-long movement for better nutrition." Fox Business hosts called the rules "a little bit ludicrous." Is "Obamacare affecting what you eat now?" asked Fox host Charles Payne. The Chicago Tribune editorialized that calorie counts are the "nanny state" at work. Media voices are portraying the calorie counts as a battle between public health and personal freedom, just as they did with smoking regulations, jumbo soda rules, and bans on trans fats.
Adventures in the Archives: The First Time
by Audrey Smith
The possibility of having an "adventure in the archives" always seemed a bit far-fetched. My perceptions of academia, particularly as related to notions of adventurousness, were dominated by images of Indiana Jones holding a dirty artifact and marking the X on the map. When Professor Carolyn Lewis (the adviser to whatever academic adventures loomed on the horizon for me) suggested that the archives were a time-warping place of magic and discovery, I conjured visions of swashbuckling conflicts amongst dueling historians, perhaps a diverting romantic intrigue amongst the dusty stacks – anything less than that couldn't be an adventure, and to call it so seemed simply and woefully inaccurate.

I just moved a WordPress blog from an Staging BOx to our live environment.
It works fine on the staging box. On the live environment however, for some reason the Single.php template tries to show all blog posts. As an experiment I tried putting a line query_posts('p=5151') before the Loop to see if I can drive the query, but that produced no benefits (Doing the same experiemnt on the staging servers does work - forcing the single template to show post id 5151). I've also tried putting wp_query_rests at the end of all while blocks to no effect. What can I do to fix he default query. Can someone give me a flow of where the query string p=5151 gets read and pushed into the query. The entire blog is just a TwentyEleven child

Jeanette ('Jennie') Churchill (née Jerome), Lady Randolph Churchill(1854-1921), Society hostess and writer
Sitter in 24 portraits
Lady Randolph Churchill was an American-born society figure, remembered chiefly as the mother of Sir Winston Churchill, British prime minister. She was heiress to a Wall Street fortune, and came to prominence as one of the first so-called 'buccaneers' to cross the ocean and set the trend of marrying into British aristocracy. In 1867 she and her two sisters were taken to Paris by their mother, and her education and introduction to society followed the manner of the European upper classes. In 1873 she met Lord Randolph Churchill, son of the Duke of Marlborough, and they were married the following year at the British Embassy in Paris. During the Boer War she raised money for and staffed and equipped a hospital ship, the Maine, which was active in South Africa. Her written works include: Reminiscences of Lady Randolph Churchill (1908), two plays and Short Talks on Big Subjects (1916), a collection of articles.

The United Nations (UN) played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Jewish State by passing UN Resolution 181 in 1947, which called for the partition of British Mandate Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. Following Israel's independence in 1948, the Jewish State became an official member-state of the international body.
The international body has a continuing history of a one-sided, hostile approach to Israel. After decades of bias and marginalization, recent years have brought some positive developments for Israel to the UN. Nonetheless, the UN's record and culture continue to demonstrate a predisposition against Israel. Indeed, in a meeting in April 2007, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon acknowledged to ADL leaders that Israel has been treated poorly at the UN and that, while some progress has been made, this bias still remains an issue. Secretary Ban stated this view publicly during his visit to Israel in August 2013. "Unfortunately, because of the [Israeli-Palestinian] conflict, Israel's been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias — and sometimes even discrimination," Ban said in response to a question about discrimination against Israel at the UN. "It's an unfortunate situation," Ban said, adding that Israel should be treated equal to all the other 192 member states.
UN Resolutions 242 and 338, which were passed following the 1967 Six Day War and during 1973 Yom Kippur, call for Israel to withdraw from territories occupied in 1967, and for peace talks between Israel and her Arab neighbors based on the land-for-peace premise. These resolutions continue to play a role in the ongoing debate at the UN over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and often cited to criticize Israel's presence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Israel's Isolation
Since Israel's establishment, Arab member states of the UN have used the General Assembly (GA) as a forum for isolating and chastising Israel. With support from third-world nations, particularly the Non-Aligned Movement, and others, the Arab states have had little difficulty passing harsh anti-Israel resolutions through the GA. Even today, the strength of these groups in the world body allows them to continue rebuking Israel. While anti-Israel resolutions are easily passed in the GA, this is not the case in the Security Council, where resolutions are binding in nature, as the United States has used its veto power to prevent the passage of such resolutions.
In the 1970s, the Arab bloc used its power to establish and authorize funding for several UN committees and divisions of the Secretariat which primarily carry out the anti-Israel agenda. Among these are: The Division for Palestinian Rights of the Secretariat, The Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices in the Territories, and The Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. Today, these bodies continue to be deeply engaged in promoting programs and initiatives that are harshly critical of Israel.
A low point at the UN was the passage of the Arab and Soviet-sponsored United Nations resolution of November 10, 1975 which declared Zionism a "form of racism and racial discrimination." The highly politicized resolution was aimed at denying Israel its political legitimacy by attacking its moral basis for existence. The resolution was finally repealed on December 16, 1991.
For decades, Israel was the only member state consistently denied admission into a regional group, the organizational structure by which member states can participate on UN bodies and committees. The Arab states continue to prevent Israeli membership in the Asian Regional Group, Israel's natural geopolitical grouping. As a result, Israel long sought entry into the Western and Others Group (WEOG) and in May 2000 was granted admission in New York, but not in Geneva, the seat of several UN bodies and subsidiary organizations. Israel's participation in the UN, therefore, is still limited and it cannot fully participate in UN Geneva-based activities.
The Human Rights Council
The UN Human Rights Council (HRC), which replaced the Commission on Human Rights in March 2006, has continued its predecessor's extreme focus on and biased treatment of issues relating to Israel, particularly in comparison with its mild action on pressing international human rights crises. The permanent agenda of the HRC includes a specific item targeting Israel - Agenda Item #7 – which is titled: "Human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories: Human rights violations and implications of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and other occupied Arab territories and the Right to self-determination of the Palestinian people. Israel is the only country to appear on the HRC's permanent agenda, while other countries such as Iran and Sudan, notorious for their human rights abuses, are included as part of the general debate.
The HRC has appointed a few "Special Rapporteurs" on "the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967," whose biased mandate has been evident in their one-sided reports on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Two of the most problematic Special Rapporteurs have been John Dugard – who in 2008 justified Palestinian terrorism as an "inevitable consequence" of Israel's actions – and Richard Falk – who has made a number of outrageous comments about Israel, including endorsing the anti-Israel BDS movement and comparing Israel's treatment of Palestinians to Nazi activity during the Holocaust.
The HRC has also initiated a number of "investigations" of Israeli military action following recent conflicts between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. In 2009, it published the so-called "Goldstone Report" (named for the investigation's head Justice Richard Goldstone of South Africa) which accused Israel of committing war crimes in Gaza during its military operations in December 2008 – January 2009 (Operation Cast Lead), including the deliberate and premeditated targeting of civilians. While the report contained some discussion of Palestinian actions, including charges that Hamas violated international law, the focus of the report and its recommendations were on Israel, causing Israel, the United States, some European countries and others in the international community to reject the report's validity. In 2011, Justice Goldstone published an op-ed where he withdrew the report's claim that Israel deliberately targeted civilians, and commended Israel's independent investigations into charges of abuse.
In 2015, the HRC published a report on Israel's 2014 military operation against Hamas in Gaza (Operation Protective Edge), which accused both Israel and Hamas of violations in international law which could amount to war crimes. The report accused Israel of using disproportionate force in Gaza, and not doing enough to prevent civilian casualties. Israel and US rejected the report.
Palestinian Statehood Activities
The UN has also become a vehicle for the Palestinians to avoid direct peace negotiations with Israel by taking unilateral action to gain statehood recognition.
In September 2011, the Palestinians began the process of securing UN admission by submitting an application to the UN Security Council. The Palestinians ultimately decided to "postpone" a vote on their admission after it became clear that they lacked sufficient support for approval.
On October 31, 2011, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) granted "Palestine" membership, marking the first time the Palestinians had gained full admittance into a UN organization.
In 2012, the UNGA voted overwhelmingly to upgrade the Palestinians to non-member observer status, effectively recognizing the State of Palestine, a move that was rejected by Israel and the US.
Positive Developments
There have been some recent positive developments at the UN with Israel accomplishing a major first when the UN's Second Committee (Economic and Financial) adopted an Israeli-initiated draft resolution dealing with agricultural technology for development in 2009.
In addition, the UN has begun to address other issues of concern to the Jewish community, particularly anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, in a highly visible way. In January 2015, the UNGA held its first ever special session on the rise of anti-Semitic violence worldwide. The event was cosponsored by the US, Israel, the 28 EU members and other countries, and featured a statements and speeches by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and a number of government officials.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A formidable actor and part of a truly groundbreaking show, Harry Morgan leaves behind a tremendous legacy and millions of fans.

Skill Level Intermediate
One of Drupal's current weaknesses is that it's not all that great at exchanging nodes or users from one Drupal site to another. The Views module however, has some terrific utilities in this area. So you can share views from one site to another fairly easily or clone views within a site for faster development. There are a few gotchas though, so here's an overview. First, let's go to our list of views and we'll talk about a few links we haven't really talked about yet. We know what List does. It gives us this screen and we know what Add does. It creates a new view.
What we're going to talk about in this video is the Import and the Tools link. There are few other links too. If we edit any view as we're going to do now by editing the People view, we also see Export and Clone. Import, as you can imagine, brings in a view from another site while Tools lets you do various things to your views overall. Export and Clone act on an individual view. Let's actually go ahead and clone this People view. We'll click on Clone and we once again see that Setup screen. Let's change the name to people_clone and People Clone. However, you can't do all the things you can when you first add a view.
For example, we can't change it from a Node to a Comment view type because obviously, we're taking something that's already a node type view. Scroll to the bottom and click Next. Now we've created this new view and it has all of the criteria and all of the facets of the old view, which we called people. However, it's not yet saved. If we were to leave this screen now, we would lose it. In order to save it, you have to go down and explicitly click on the Save button. Now if we go back to our List, we see we've this people_clone view. I would like to mention one other thing that people often forget. The page, when we cloned it, it also has the Path people. So what will we actually see if we go to that page, the two will have to battle it out.
So be careful not to create multiple views with the same path unless you've a plan for handling that. You might have one view that's only seen by authenticated users and another that's seen by anonymous users who haven't signed in to your site. So that's how cloning works. We don't really need this people_clone anymore, so I'll delete it. I'm sure you can see, however, that it's a completely separate view and you could make completely different changes and in fact, turn it into something without affecting that original people view. The next thing I would like to show is exporting a view. There are two ways of doing it. One is by just clicking on Export here in the List view or if you go into Edit you have that link here again, Export. They both work exactly the same way. Let's click it and see what we get.
The result is something that looks very much like PHP. In fact, it's sort of PHP-like and it cuts down the code into a format that Views natively understands. Once you get this Export view in front of you, you simply click it. Select All on the Mac. That's Command+A and on the PC, it's Ctrl+A. Then you could paste it into a text file or you could paste it directly into another Drupal installation if it's running on the same machine. I am going to go back and show you how you can then import that exported view.
We'll take it, Edit > Copy and then go back. As you might guess, it's fairly easy through this Import tab. Click on it and then you'd name the new view. Let's call this Person clone. Click down here and paste and Import. There it is. Once again, go down and Save. And when we go back to our List, we'll see we now have people and person_clone. I'll delete person_clone once again. However, now we come to gotcha I mentioned. An exported view will make reference to whatever CCK fields were included in the original view. So for example, on our people view we had a reference to date of birth and so forth.
What if we had copied that to a text file and brought it over to another Drupal installation and imported it, but that person hadn't actually created that Date of Birth field? Simply put, it won't work. You'll get a series of errors that explain that the CCK field isn't available and the import will fail. So importing and exporting views isn't a perfectly simple process, because you have to make sure that all of the fields match up. There is one other way to export views, although it's mostly of use only to advanced level developers and system administrators. But even if you are not in one of those groups, it makes sense to at least see what it is. You'll find it under the Tools tab.
Once on that Tools page, you'll see a Bulk export tab. Click on it and you can select which views you want to export, including those ones that were built-in to Views. You would check these boxes, type in the name of the module you would want to create because this will actually create a Drupal module and then click Export. Again, it becomes quite complex implementing that module, so we won't go through that process. But as long as we're on this page, let's take a look at some of those other tools on the Basic tab. Again, nearly all of these are of use only to advanced developers and system administrators and they are all explained in the Help text below each setting.
So we won't go into them. The one setting that I'll mention because I do change it sometimes is if you scroll down to Do not show hover links over views. You know those little ghost menus that you see as you go over a view as I'm doing here in the left-hand column? Sometimes those menus will interfere with your ability to click on information inside the view. If you wanted to get rid of them, just click on that box and say Save configuration. We'll leave it on though. The last thing to point out on the Tools page is this Convert tab. This is only of use if you used Views 1 and again, that went out of style a while ago.
So for new Drupal users, it doesn't come into play. If you had stored any Views 1 views they would show up here and you would be able to make conversions. I just have to say one more time. Views main author Earl Miles is really a genius. And this ability to import and export views just proves the point once more. It's not perfect. Certainly the Bulk export feature is more difficult than it needs to be but considering how complicated views can get, it's a real time-saver to be able to reuse your work through cloning and the import-export process without having to figure everything out again.

I've been working with WP for several weeks now - and am realising it takes a long time to build a good CMS site with WP!
OK, some will say that WP is just a blog or super-blog. But I thought it was advertising itself as so much more...the answer to all online publishing!
Maybe I'm not understand how it works, or can't find the right plugin or widget. But the application of the 'sidebar' in WP is abominable!
If you have a sidebar, or a column on your site to hold non-article content, there's a fair chance that you might want this column to hold different content and links depending on which page or section of your site you're in. what you need for certain pages/sections is relevant links, relevant categories, relative side content. And yet it seems you can't have this in WP?
By and large, as much as I can see, you're stuck with one lot of sidebar content for your whole site! I'm not complaining about the wealth of widgets and plugins available, but more about the fact that what you put in your sidebar applies everywhere on your site! (unless you use some fiendishly hard-to-understand exclusion widgets).
Surely this can't be so? Surely anyone engineering a true publishing platform will understand that people need to display different sidebar content according to which page/section they're on? Surely?....
Someone shoot me down in flames and put me right. I've probably missed something obvious and won't mind admitting it.
But the way I see it at the moment, for all its lovely drag and drop functionality and the huge range of sidebar plugins and widgets...WP still doesn't address a fundamental issue of flexible publishing!
To my mind you should be able to build any number of sidebars. And you should be able to attach any chosen sidebar to any chosen page.
Wouldn't it be worth spending some time on such a fundamental requirement for designing user-friendly sites....than chasing some of the more superfluous aspects of the programme?

Volatility: It cuts both ways.
STMP will eventually become so undervalued that the big money will start to try and take it away from each other as opposed to just hanging out twiddling their thumbs trying to take it away from retail traders and Sheeple who actively trade their IRAs and have nervous stomachs.
It's too bad the market is as polarized as the country. Wastes a lot of time and resources fighting for control of the situation rather than just trying to improve the situation, but
"What we've got here is failure to communicate." (My apologies for the previous mis-quote.)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
What is bothering you, the stock is up 5%.
Sentiment: Buy
Up 5% today - up 6% for the last year...doesn't exactly reflect the fundamental results already turned in this year - stock price still has a lot of catching up to do...a whole lot.
