Palestinian statehood bid wins broad support in Gaza, West Bank (video)
Everyone from Hamas supporters to shopkeepers in Ramallah have backed the Palestinian statehood bid at the UN, but some warn that failure could lead to a third intifada.
Majdi Mohammed/AP
Ramallah, West Bank; and Gaza City, Gaza
A Yasser Arafat lookalike rolls his eyes in a faintly alarming way, drawing laughter from his growing crowd of onlookers as a drumbeat of Arabic music holds the crowd in its grip.
The act is part of a festive atmosphere in Ramallah, where thousands of Palestinians gathered this week to fête Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas's formal launch of the Palestinian statehood bid at the United Nations in New York today.
ŌĆ£Finally the world will learn there is a place called Palestine,ŌĆØ grins Rasha Hussein, a student in a YouTube t-shirt, attending a march against her parentsŌĆÖ wishes. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been silent for a long time. We have to make a move to get somewhere.ŌĆØ
It is a sentiment echoed by others in this city, which has seen a measure of prosperity in recent years, as evidenced by the growing number of small businesses, a modest boom in hotels, and a steady stream of visitors. Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam FayyadŌĆÖs two-year statebuilding initiative leading up to the UN bid has arguably borne most fruit here.
In Gaza, meanwhile, residents have been cut off from the PA's reforms amid a four-year split between the PA and Hamas, the Islamist movement that rules Gaza. But while Hamas came out this week in opposition to the UN statehood bid, many Gazans ŌĆō living under an economic blockade by Israel and still recovering from a 2009 war with the Jewish state ŌĆō feel there is little to risk.
ŌĆ£In these circumstances of difficult daily life under daily Israeli occupation, what do we have to lose?ŌĆØ asks Salem Ajrami, who has been unemployed since Hamas took over the territory in 2007. ŌĆ£What should prevent us from getting a normal life in a normal state?ŌĆØ
Indeed, while Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have led considerably different lives over the past four years, Mahmoud AbbasŌĆÖs unexpected decision to approach the UN after two decades of negotiations with Israel has inspired hope in both territories that the stagnant situation could be changed.
ŌĆ£So many times we hear ŌĆśno, no, no.ŌĆÖ Perhaps this time weŌĆÖll hear a small ŌĆśyesŌĆÖ,ŌĆØ says Ahmad Samhan, a shopkeeper in Ramallah. ŌĆ£The only hope we have is the UN. We have lost hope in the US and the Europeans. Maybe the UN can bring something positive.ŌĆØ
Apathy, disillusionment elsewhere in West Bank
But if there is an atmosphere of optimism in Ramallah, the feeling is very different an hourŌĆÖs drive south to Hebron. Shuhada Street, once the heartbeat of the cityŌĆÖs bustling marketplace, is deserted, the Palestinian shops long ago shuttered up, Stars of David splashed across their doors.
Here a Jewish community, one of the most hard-line in the occupied West Bank, lives in the heart of the largely Palestinian city, a constant source of friction that demands a continuous army presence for the protection of the Jewish settlers. It is a city divided, the Jewish quarter (where many Palestinians still live) under Israeli control, and the rest controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Many Palestinians here support Hamas and have little patience for Mr. AbbasŌĆÖ statehood bid, which few here believe will amount to much anyway.
ŌĆ£There will never be peace, there will never be freedom here,ŌĆØ laments Idris, a leathery man who has witnessed the entrenchment of Israeli occupation and settlements over 20 years of peace negotiations. Just yards away, an Israeli soldier shades himself from the afternoon sun, his rifle slung across his chest.
In the narrow streets of JeninŌĆÖs refugee camp in the northern West Bank, memories of IsraelŌĆÖs military incursion during the second intifada nearly a decade ago are still raw. Many Palestinian homes were flattened and dozens killed in a 10-day assault dubbed the Battle of Jenin when Israeli forces raided the camp, attempting to rout militants operating out of the warren-like streets.
Ex-fighters released from Israeli prisons roam the streets in search of scarce jobs, and a faltering economy combined with the PAŌĆÖs inability to pay full salaries to its employees is feeding into a despair that is little served by what many see as fruitless diplomatic maneuvers.
ŌĆ£People here donŌĆÖt care [about the UN],ŌĆØ says Adnan Nghnghia, the local director of the Freedom Theatre, a landmark project offering an outlet to the campŌĆÖs inhabitants. ŌĆ£They believe weak leaders will never bring anything to their people. IŌĆÖm proud of Abu Mazen [Abbas] and Salam Fayyad but they have nothing in their hand.ŌĆØ
'A very brave move'
Unemployment is high in Gaza as well, as is a rising feeling of frustration at the lack of opportunity the blockade has led to.
On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Ajrami sat with family members and neighbors in plastic chairs outside a dilapidated building in the Jabaliya refugee camp, debating the UN bid as children rode tricycles nearby and coffee brewed over a wood fire. Smoke drifted across the group as the conversation turned to how many Hamas supporters also approve of the statehood bid by HamasŌĆÖs rival.
ŌĆ£Even in Hamas, there are so many people who support this move, even if they hate Abu Mazen and Fatah,ŌĆØ says Abed Nader, a student on his way home in Jabaliya.
Even some leftists like Hikmat Massri are behind the move. The young man hasnŌĆÖt been a fan of Abbas in the past, he says, yet now he speaks of the leader in appreciative tones. ŌĆ£This is a very brave move,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£I trust that he has discussed everything and knows exactly where heŌĆÖs going.ŌĆØ
Mr. Massri says he will celebrate on the street Friday when Abbas presents his request to the UN, despite a Hamas warning that such public shows of support will not be tolerated. Yet others are more circumspect about the bid.
Mr. Nader is afraid the US and the UN will stop funding after a unilateral Palestinian move, leading to a crisis in a place where as much as 80 percent of the population depends on aid. Others oppose the bid because they say it would forfeit the right of return for refugees who lost their land in the 1948-49 Arab-Israeli war, or because they support a one-state solution. And still others say they simply donŌĆÖt believe the action at the UN will make a difference on the ground in Gaza.
ŌĆ£At the end the whole resolution will remain words on paper. Nothing will be implemented on the ground,ŌĆØ says Mona Heales, a human rights worker. ŌĆ£If Abu Mazen actually achieves anything, it will be implemented in the West Bank, not in Gaza.ŌĆØ
Rumblings of a third intifada
Many wonder what will happen if the UN bid fails ŌĆō the US has vowed to block it on the UN Security Council ŌĆō amid fears that frustration could spill over into violence.
For Anwar Abu Sabu, who these days hobbles around on crutches after taking an Israeli bullet in the back, the choices are simple. He sees little hope in Jenin, where he takes home just 1,300 shekels (approximately $350) a month in disability allowance, a sum that must support his wife and four children.
Mr. Abu Sabu thinks the UN bid is doomed, and suggests a return to armed resistance aimed at the Israeli military in the West Bank, and not Israel, to achieve Palestinian statehood.
ŌĆ£If the UN fails, if Abbas fails and raises his hand saying, ŌĆśI cannot achieve your rights,ŌĆÖ then a new time will start,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£[Abbas] will not declare an armed resistance. It is not his role. Every generation must have its own leader.ŌĆØ
It is a somber assessment, and a view that gains little traction in Ramallah, where many simply feel they have too much to lose from a new cycle of violence and bloodshed.
ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt want [a new] intifada. The people want peace,ŌĆØ says Ayman Mondaher, a financial manager. ŌĆ£We just want a normal life, we just want to educate our children.ŌĆØ

WW4 Report
Egypt: ISIS claims deadly Sinai attacks
Militants launched near-simultaneous raids on at least five military checkpoints and a police station in and around Sheikh Zuweid in the north of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in the wee hours of July 2. At least 100 militants and 17 soldiers were killed in the clashes. Ansar Bait Al-Maqdis, a Sinai-based group that pledged allegiance to ISIS in 2014, claimed responsibility for the attacks. North Sinai has been under a state of emergency and a curfew since October, when an attack on a checkpoint in el-Arish left dozens of soldiers dead. In a separate development that day, security nine members of the now-banned Muslim Brotherhood, including former MP Nasr al-Hafi, were killed in a police raid on an apartment in western Cairo. Following the riad, the Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement saying that several of its leaders had been "murdered... in cold blood" and urged Egyptians to "rise in revolt" agains the government of President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. (BBC News, Egyptian Streets, July 1)
Boko Haram war spills into Chad
Authorities in Chad announced the arrest of a key Boko Haram leader and two henchmen in the capital N'Djamena on June 28. The militant leader, named as Mahamat Moustapha AKA Baana Fanay, is accused coordinating trafficking of weapons between Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon. Chadian security forces have arrested 74 accused militants since June 15 terror attacks in N'Djamena that killed 38 people and injured 100 others. But the day after the arrest ot Baana Fanay, two new suicide bombings in N'Djamena kiilled at least 11, including five police officers. The blasts were in residential neighborhoods, but at least one was apparently set off as police raided a suspected Boko Haram safe-house. (News Agency of Nigeria, June 30; AP, Al Jazeera, June 29)
Ivory Coast fights Ansar Dine along Mali border
Ivory Coast reinforced security along its northern frontier after a series of attacks by Islamist militias on towns just across the border in Mali. Troops from Ivory Coast are also reported to have crossed the border to assist Malian forces in driving out the rebels. Gunmen attacked and briefly took control of Fakola, a border town in Mali's southern region of Sikasso, on June 28. The raid followed a similar attack weeks earlier during which dozens of militants ransacked a police station in the nearby town of Misseni. Ansar Dine is named as the group behind the attacks, and this appears to represent the first extension of its reach into Mali's south from its territory in the northern deserts. (Reuters, AFP, AFP, July 1)
Iran: hundreds flogged for Ramadan
At least 500 people have been arrested and the majority sentenced to flogging in Shiraz, southern Iran, for failing to observe the daytime fast during the holy month of Ramadan, authorities announced July 1. At least two sites in the city serving food during daylight hours were shut down by the paramilitary Bassij force. Another 2,699 individuals received verbal warnings and 261 others were given written notices by the Bassij patrols. Anyone in Iran caught eating or drinking in public during daytime in Ramadan may receive 74 lashes in addition to a prison term of up to two months, judicial authorities have threatened. Special patrols are stationed on streets and in public parks to enforce the edict. Public floggings have soared in Iran in recent months, with the actual number of floggings said to be much higher than officially announced. (NCRI, July 1)
Israel denies backing Nusra after Golan lynching
In a grisly incident on the Israeli-annexed Golan Heights last week, Druze villagers attacked an Israeli military ambulance, killing one of two Syrian casualties it was carrying. The attack was apparently retaliation for the Nusra Front massacre of Druze villagers in Syria a week earlier. Al-Monitor reports that the IDF has launched an aggressive "information campaign" to convince the Golan Druze that Israel is not backing the Nusra Front. Media reports (Reuters, Forward) have been vague on who the casualties in the ambulance actually were, but blogger Michael Karadjis identified the murdered patient as Munthir Khalil from the "Revolutionary Command Council in Quneitra and Golan," a wing of the Free Syrian Army's Southern Front. Karadjis emphasizes that the Southern Front months ago issued a declaration cutting off all cooperation with the Nusra Front, and offered refuge to fleeing villagers after the massacre. He calls the incident "deadly consequences" of the "fairy tale" that Israel is backing Nusra.
PKK attack Turkish military base
Militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) attacked the Hakkari Dağlıca military base in Turkey's far east with machine guns and mortar shells on the night of June 29. The Turkish military said the assailants fled when soldiers returned fire, and no casualties were reported. (Today's Zaman) That same day, the Turkish military clashed with Kurdish villagers in Roboski, also in the country's southeast near the border with Iraq and Syria. At least two villagers were wounded in the clashes, which started when local Kurds gathered to protest amassing of Turkish forces in the area. (Revolution News)
Turkey preparing Syria invasion —against Kurds?
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called a meeting of his National Security Council (MGK) June 29—being widely portrayed in the Turkish media as preparation to establish a "buffer zone" in northern Syria in response to Kurdish territorial gains against ISIS. Over the weekend, Erdogan told reporters: "I am saying this to the whole world: We will never allow the establishment of a state on our southern border in the north of Syria. We will continue our fight in that respect whatever the cost may be." Turkish newspapers including the pro-government Yeni Safak are reporting that the military has received orders to seize a strip 110 kilometers long and 33 kilometers deep along the border. One anonymous official told Hurriyet Daily News there is a "need" to "prevent more clashes between the ISIL and the Kurdish forces led by the Democratic Union Party (PYD), prevent the PYD from taking full control over the Turkish-Syrian border and create a safe zone against a new wave of refugees on Syrian territory, no longer in Turkey." The PYD is the Kurdish political party whose military wing, the People's Protection Units (YPG), have been making gains against ISIS.
Xinjiang: Ramadan terror and repression
Up to 28 people were killed in an attack by presumed ethnic Uighurs on a police traffic checkpoint in China's restive Xinjiang region June 23. The attack apparently began when a car sped through a traffic checkpoint in Tahtakoruk district of Kashgar (Chinese: Kashi) city. Assailants armed with knives emerged from the vehicle and rushed the checkpoint, while others quickly arrived by motorcycle. At least one improvised bomb was used in the attack. Two of the dead were said to be by-standers. The slain also included 15 suspects. (RFA, June 23) The attack came as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) expressed "deep concern" over reports that Chinese authorities are again restricting observance of the Ramadan holy month in Xinjiang. The OIC charged that Uighurs "are denied the right to practice the fourth pillar of Islam," fasting during Ramadan. Authorities have reportedly barred civil servants, students and teachers from fasting, and ordered restaurants to remain open. (Arab News, June 27) Perversely, authorities are said to be holding "beer festivals" in Uighur villages to tempt those observing Ramadan to break their fast. (PRI, June 26)

Skills for life ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) Information for tutors and group leaders ESOL Teachers Pack Victoria and Albert Museum Cromwell Road South Kensington London, SW7 2RL Page 1 of 9 26/11/2009 Pre-visit activities 1. The visit and its objectives Group discussion: What is a museum and what is in it? – displays, shop, cafes. What will we do on our visit? – meet the staff, go on a tour, choose individual galleries and do worksheets, have a cup of tea. Students should discuss in advance which galleries to visit. How are people expected to behave in a museum? – quietness, not touching exhibits unless invited, not being allowed to carry bags, security checks. 2. Discussion of previous experience of museums Group discussion Have you visited a museum before? Where? Did you enjoy it? Why? What are museums for? There are two worksheets on this. One looks at a museum from the point of view of function (collection, conservation, exhibition, education etc) and begins with the question 'What do you think a museum is for?'. The other takes a critical look at western museums and their right to hold many of the objects in their collections, asking 'Should European museums return the valuable objects they hold from other countries?'. 3. Planning the journey and getting information about the V&A This is an activity based on group work, reporting back and question and answer sessions. Students choose the task they would like to do, and divide themselves into two groups according to their chosen task. ESOL Teachers Pack Victoria and Albert Museum Cromwell Road South Kensington London, SW7 2RL Page 2 of 9 26/11/2009 Each group will: collect information report back to the other group be ready to answer any questions from the other group prepare questions to ask the other group about their topic Group 1.

Museum vocabulary This resource also looks at general museum vocabulary. It is not assumed that the students will have enough language/vocabulary to read all the information given about exhibits in the V&A. However, the visit is a good chance to extend vocabulary to include the sort of words that are not so common in every day use. 1. General museum vocabulary This includes words such as gallery, display case, object etc. Activities for teaching the vocabulary could include: Using a drawing/photograph of a gallery to elicit/teach the new vocabulary Tutor writing the words on card and students finding/matching cards Students labelling the picture 2. Vocabulary relating to media and shape Depending on the students' oral and literacy levels, activities to help students understand the meaning of individual words relating to material and decoration could include: The tutor bringing in a collection of interesting objects Students handling the objects The tutor eliciting/teaching new adjectives relating to the objects Oral practice - activities in pairs or in the whole group: o true/false statements about the objects o questions only requiring yes/no as answers o describing an object without naming it - other students find or draw it o students feeling objects in a bag and describing the shape Literacy work: tutor writes key words on card: o Students find/match the cards to the objects Victoria and Albert Museum Cromwell Road South Kensington London, SW7 2RL Page 4 of 9 ESOL Teachers Pack 26/11/2009 o Students write descriptions of the objects.

Further worksheets are developed regularly. Contact the V&A to find out more. The aims of the worksheets are both to encourage the use and understanding of language in a new context, and to provide a focus for looking at individual items in some detail, as the wealth of exhibits in a museum can be overwhelming. Activities on the worksheets include Yes/No statements Finding objects and ticking boxes Matching words and pictures Un-jumbling spellings Drawing Yes/No questions Students will need some understanding of: Present continuous and simple past tenses Simple question forms Prepositions of place Adjectives of colour Names of animals and birds ESOL Teachers Pack Victoria and Albert Museum Cromwell Road South Kensington London, SW7 2RL Page 6 of 9 26/11/2009 Using the worksheets Students may need support finding the objects in the galleries, and understanding the activities and language on the worksheets Students could work in pairs or individually using the worksheets Time will need to be given for students to compare and discuss answers with each other and the tutor Homework activities are included on some worksheets ESOL Teachers Pack Victoria and Albert Museum Cromwell Road South Kensington London, SW7 2RL Page 7 of 9 26/11/2009 The visit You can book a visit with a V&A ESOL tutor by contacting the Education Bookings Office on +44(0)20 7942 2211, email email@example.com, or write to: Bookings Office Victoria & Albert Museum London SW7 2RL Your group will be met at the V&A by an ESOL tutor from the V&A's Learning and Interpretation Division, who will stay with your group during your visit, help with finding the galleries, answer questions and support students using the worksheets.

Sharks back on court to face the Mountain Airs
Relevant offers
The Sharks basketball team are public enemy No 1 in Taranaki at the moment, adding intrigue to the battle of the provinces when the two teams meet next in a National Basketball League game.
Three Southland players were arrested early on Sunday morning and charged with assault after an incident in New Plymouth.
It has resulted in outrage from many Taranaki people, who have voiced their disgust towards Southland - mainly through social media.
"I would be so embarrassed if I was from Southland," Karmel Waiariki said.
Darnie Taiapo said earlier this week: "No Apology to Taranaki for the behaviour displayed and yet one of these thugs represents NZ? Stay in southland I say."
Taranaki Mountain Airs manager Mick McBeth said while there was plenty of discontent around the Sharks in his region, his team would not be using it as motivation for Sunday's return game in Invercargill.
"There is a lot being said around the public at the moment but we're not buying into it," McBeth said.
"We are feeling for Southland more than anything, and for Paulie [Henare] with what he has had to go through. It is not easy and we would hate for us to be in that situation.
"A few individuals did it and it's not a reflection on Southland as a whole, I think."
McBeth has voiced his disappointment in the Sharks snubbing the aftermatch function in New Plymouth on Saturday but confirmed yesterday that the Sharks had invited them to a function in Invercargill on Sunday, and they would attend.
Southland Sharks general manager Jill Bolger was unsure how many Southlanders would turn up to support the team on Sunday night.
"There has been some positive stuff from people saying 'we are still there for the team' but I suppose the ones you don't hear from, you don't know what they are thinking."

Hijacking of American Education: Part 2 - Longfellow vs. Poe
By Ruth Nourse
Published April 1, 1989
From our nation's beginnings, the Christian faith has been interwoven with American philosophy. Over a century ago, however, an intellectual elite arose with the purpose of deleting Christian ideals from American education. In this column we will examine in detail just how Christian thought has been concealed from students of American literature. This "war of the poets" can be documented by contrasting the lives of two men: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edgar Allan Poe.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a man who pursued happiness in the traditional American way. He was born in Portland, Maine, in 1807, and became the best known, best loved American poet at home and abroad. His father was a Harvard graduate and attorney who would later be elected to the Massachusetts legislature and then to congress. The piety and patriotism of his mother, Zilpah, did honor to six Mayflower pilgrims named among her ancestors. Puritan and pilgrim faith merged in the shaping of the poet's character and world view.
Longfellow attended private schools where, in addition to the usual studies, he received instruction in French and lessons on the flute. By age fourteen he was ready to enter Bowdoin College. By the time he finished fourth in his college class of 38, Henry had received some recognition as a poet, having written 17 poems, most of them published, by the time he was 19. Years later, he selected five of these for publication in his complete works.1
After graduation in the spring of 1825, a grant had been received to establish a new professorship in modern languages at Bowdoin, and the school's administrators were reminded of their gifted graduate. Young Longfellow was invited to take the position, which would be held open for him while he, at his own expense, traveled to Europe for three years' study of European literature and language. In 1826 he sailed to Europe with his parent's blessing, although his mother had misgivings that her son might come under the sinister influences of a European university. These fears were unfounded. Her son found no thrill in anything of value in the ideas of the German philosophers admired by Ralph Waldo Emerson.2
Longfellow's poetry is strengthened by threads of truth from the King James Bible. Frequent notations and commentaries on Sunday sermons are sprinkled through all the years of his letters and journals. They reflect his lifelong pursuit of reality in the practice of the Christian faith and his reflections on the myriad of religious philosophies found in Europe.
Longfellow became professor of modern languages at Bowdoin with the added duties of librarian. In his inaugural address, given at age 22, the new professor set forth his view about the purpose of literature: "It is this religious feeling, this changing of the finite for the infinite – this grasping after the invisible things of another and a higher world – which marks the spirit of modern literature."
Longfellow continued as professor of modern languages at Bowdoin for five years and then at Harvard for twenty. He later became world renowned for short novels, such as Hyperion, and classic works of poetry, Hiawatha, Tales of a Wayside Inn, and The Courtship of Miles Standish. Any reader familiar with the King James Bible, or who has been exposed to Chaucer or Shakespeare, will find Longfellow's poems delightfully "modern." Although time has changed our language and manner of speech, man's nature remains basically the same. Joy, sorrow, happiness, triumph, loneliness, failure, strength, weakness, family, love, death – the human heart responds to these in every century. Longfellow's work is timeless in this sense. His readers acknowledged and appreciated their poet's dedication to truth and purity.
Enter the Biased Editors
Longfellow was freely enjoyed by American school children for the next 50 years. But the decision had already been made by those in charge of what school children were expected to read. This poet's work would be replaced by literature with sympathy for neither the faith nor sentiment of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His passing signalled a "new age" in America. Critics made their opinions clear while the poet lived and while his works were everywhere applauded. They declared, although few at the time were listening, that America's literature must be filled more with passion and less with sentiment.
Hostile criticism came primarily from literary reviews by Edgar Allen Poe. Poe's articles appeared in the several magazines he wrote for or edited between 1835 and 1845. Longfellow's attitude toward Poe was kindly even when he stooped to actual defamation of character and slander. Calling Longfellow an imitator, Poe accused him of plagiarism and likened him to a pickpocket.3
Poe was quoted as saying, "I love fame: I dote on it: I idolize it."4 And in another place, "My whole nature utterly revolts at the idea that there is any Being in the universe superior to myself!"5 One biographer believed egoism became the basis for Poe's criticism of fellow writers: "He seemed to regard the fame of contemporary authors as a personal rebuke and insult to himself, wondering at the presumption and ignorance of a rushing world that could admire anything but the central sun of American Literature."
Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston in 1809. His father studied law but later chose an acting career. His mother, an actress, soon after died of tuberculosis and left him in the care of a Richmond tobacco merchant. The bright and attractive little boy recited poetry and danced, possibly for the stage. He was enrolled in a good school in England, doing well as a student, but his writings reveal unhappiness and a sardonic view of discipline. Poe entered Jefferson University in 1826, where he combined as much pleasure as possible with the requirements for a liberal education. He was a good student but he and his friends drank with such abandon that the sheriff was called to bring order to the campus. Most biographers tell us that he accumulated more than $2000 in gambling debts.6
Poe went to Boston in 1827, with the purpose of publishing a book of poems. From 1835 through 1845, Poe was the editor of at least five publications in four cities. He demonstrated an unusual ability to attract readership and usually became editor-in-chief in a short time. Soon after this Poe married his cousin, Virginia, and moved to Richmond. One may guess the circumstances that prompted the following letter from his employer: "You have fine talents, Edgar, – and you ought to have them respected as well as yourself. Learn to respect yourself, and you will very soon find that you are respected. Separate yourself from the bottle, and bottle companions, forever! No man is safe who drinks before breakfast! No man can do so, and attend to business properly …" – (Signed) T.W. White.7
The poet's mental and emotional state was displayed in several drunken sallies to New York. One who knew him wrote: "He walked the streets, in madness or melancholy, with lips moving in indistinct curses, or with eyes upturned in passionate prayers, (never for himself, for he professed that he felt already damned), but for the happiness of those who were at the moment the object of his idolatry."8 More short stories and poems issued from his pen, but by this time opium had been added to an already deadly abuse of alcohol.
After Virginia's death in 1847, Poe continued on an even more erratic course. An abnormal need for emotional support drove him to pursue both married and single women with whom he had become enamored over the years. After parting with one of these women, Poe disappeared for five days and was picked up by a doctor at a tavern in Baltimore. The poet's death followed after many hours of horror. According to one account, he lingered between a dream and a screaming nightmare until he was unable to speak above a whisper. Just before he died, witnesses said, "He moved his head, gently whispering, 'Lord help my soul.'"9 When he asked if there was hope, a Bible was brought to his deathbed. No other book spoke of matters that concerned him then. However, the textbook record has not been adjusted to reflect Poe's change of heart.
Those who select great literature to be studied by American students feel no responsibility to present literary role models who have been successful in life, as well as in letters. While making a point of eliminating Poe's more repulsive works, textbook editors fail to mention that he repented in the end.
Next month we continue to investigate the exclusion of Longfellow's poetry from American Literature classes. Two more detractors to Longfellow's popularity will be examined: Sarah Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Your comments are welcome!
This above commentary is the most egregious piece of nonsense I've had the displeasure to read. Edgar Allan Poe was a master and a genius. Which is not say Longfellow wasn't, but even Longfellow never publicly addressed Poe's criticism, because he not only knew Poe to be right, but learned from it and respected his contemporary enough to realize the truth.

So sad to see such a biased and misinformed article. Poe was a Christian, he just didn't have a denomination. He carried a bible with him. He played cards with his local priests nearly every week. He said, "The plots of God are perfect, the universe is a plot of God." Longfellow plagiarized on several occasions. Poe was a writer, naturally he loathed someone who stole another author's work. He had no documented substance abuse issues at all. He was too poor. Many biographers simply guess that he even had an alcohol addiction, and that is solely because his biological father did. He lived with his aunts for much of his adult life. His stepmother cut him out of his adopted father's life and estate. Typical example of money trumping merit, talent, and skill. As far as what he wrote, seems to me there was another writer, also exiled and shamed, who authored a book of horrific imagery and destruction, and his name was John. His work was titled the "Book of Revelation." The story picks the writer, not the other way around. We can only work with what we're given.

Dr. Francis Schaeffer - A Christian Manifesto (DVD)
That Swiss Hermit Strikes Again!
Dr. Schaeffer, who was one of the most influential Christian thinkers in the twentieth century, shows that secular humanism has displaced the Judeo-Christian consensus that once defined our nation's moral boundaries. Law, education, and medicine have all been reshaped for the worse as a consequence. America's dominant worldview changed, Schaeffer charges, when Christians weren't looking.
Schaeffer lists two reasons for evangelical indifference: a false concept of spirituality and fear. He calls on believers to stand against the tyranny and moral chaos that come when humanism reigns-and warns that believers may, at some point, be forced to make the hard choice between obeying God or Caesar. A Christian Manifesto is a thought-provoking and bracing Christian analysis of American culture and the obligation Christians have to engage the culture with the claims of Christ.

Revival, Resistance, Reformation, Revolution
An Introduction to the Doctrines of Interposition and Nullification
In 1776, a short time after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were assigned to design an official seal for the United States of America. Their proposed motto was Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. America owes its existence to centuries of Christian political philosophy. Our nation provided a model for liberty copied by nations the world over.
By the 21st century, we need a "Puritan Storm" to sweep away the Hegelian notion that the state is "God walking on earth." We need revival and reformation in full force to vanquish the problems that plague us as a nation — from government controlled healthcare — to abortion on demand — to same sex "marriage." This booklet gives a primer on our founders' Christian idea of government and examines how the doctrine of nullification was woven into the Constitution as a safeguard against federal tyranny. It concludes with the history and theology of civil resistance. A Second American Revolution is coming with the Word of God growing mightily and prevailing! (Acts 19:20).

Death Toll In West, Texas, Fertilizer Explosion Rises To 15
Originally published on Tue April 23, 2013 6:31 pm
The number of people who died in a fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, last week now stands at 15, officials said Tuesday. Some earlier reports had indicated that 14 people had lost their lives. At least 200 more were injured.
In Waco, TV station KXXV says that officials believe they have found all the victims, quoting Mayor Pro Tem Steve Vanek saying "No more victims. Everything is searched," in a news conference today.
The latest death toll comes as investigators continue to study the catastrophe and the fire that preceded it. The explosion left a crater 93 feet wide and 10 feet deep, investigators said Tuesday.
State and federal investigators working at the scene have eliminated natural causes — such as a lightning strike — as a potential spark for the fire, according to The Dallas Morning News.
As we reported Monday, authorities are still in the process of publicly identifying people who were killed in the blast; the majority of them were first responders.
After fleeing their homes in an evacuation and then being forced to stay away by safety concerns and a continuing investigation, the first wave of West residents were allowed to return to their damaged homes Saturday.
The White House announced Monday that President Obama will attend a memorial service for the explosion's victims, to be held Thursday at Baylor University. The president has declared the West, Texas, site a federal disaster area.

Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano perform 13 songs in the musica ranchera style on Amor, Dolor y Lagrimas. The distinctions between musica ranchera and mariachi might be hard to grasp for those not steeped in the music, particularly since, as the liner notes to this CD state, the forms have gone hand-in-hand since the middle of the 20th century. In basic terms (again according to the liner notes), musica ranchera is Mexican country music, often overtly romantic and sentimental in tone. If you're using other mariachi music as a reference point, the arrangements and performances heard on this CD are more pop in character than you'll probably expect. There's more accent on orchestral violins, harp, and a pop balladeer vocal delivery, almost as though there's an influence from mid-20th-century Hollywood musicals in much of the material. That's not a criticism; to the contrary, the melodies and settings are more varied than much mariachi, and frankly thus more enjoyable to non-mariachi specialists. If there's a somewhat corny shade to some of the music, it's corny in a very inviting way. Thorough liner notes in both English and Spanish explain the origins and development of the musica ranchera and mariachi styles, as well as providing annotation for each track.

If you are ever stuck with a carton of sour cream, use it to make a sour cream pound cake. This easy recipe has a good crumb, moist enough to eat plain with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. It would be even better with a fresh berry compote.

On April 9, 1865, the Civil War officially came to an end in Appomattox, Va., when Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.
Today marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War – a wrenching, bloody, costly conflict that took almost as many American lives as the total of all other US wars combined. The effects of this war still lurk in America's psyche and social fabric.
But whether one wore a Blue or Gray uniform in the 1860s, there was a commonality that emphasized the humanity on either side of the line: Soldiers had to eat. I know this because I once lived through a battle. I still remember the chicken stew I ate that day in 1977 from a wooden salad bowl, with a wooden spoon, wearing a calico dress.

Elite 50: Beyond 'par' for the course

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. Most fans of competitive bass fishing are familiar with the story of the first Bassmaster Classic.
When Ray Scott, the founder of BASS, hatched his idea for the "Super Bowl" of bass fishing, he didn't disclose the location of the tournament until the contenders were in a jet headed toward Lake Mead.
Keeping the location a secret meant all of the qualified ...

Granola cookie wedges – 122 calories each!
My favorite cooking magazine by far is Cooking Light. Each month when I get it, I can't wait to see all the recipes. Sometimes I can read a food magazine and never make a thing. Sometimes while I'm reading a recipe, I want to make it. Like right now! That was the case when I read the recipe for granola cookie wedges. I didn't care that it was 9 o'clock at night – but I had all the ingredients so I ran to my kitchen to make these!
I followed the recipe except for the nuts and I refigured the calories on www.caloriecount.com.
These are amazing! A nice treat to satisfy your sweet tooth and low in calories – a win/win in my book!
Do you get Cooking Light Magazine? What's your favorite recipe you've made?

Project Engineer Interview
I applied through college or university – interviewed at Stryker.
Met at a campus career fair over a course of a week they were there. I returned for an interview the next day. The first interview was mostly your standard, why do you want to work here, how will you be a fit, etc. They explained the Gallup interview process as well. Stryker is known to have many interviews (12-15) before they feel confident hiring a full-time employee

I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Stryker (Mahwah, NJ) in June 2013.
Applied online and got an email for a phone interview request with in the same day. Recruiter asked some general questions and didn't get into too detail about work. The phone interview lasted about 15 minutes. No follow up after that. So I guess I wasn't the one.

Project Engineer InterviewNo OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Stryker in May 2013.
I filled out the standard online application and was notified about three days later that a phone interview would be scheduled. It was very easy to set this up and the phone interview took about 20-30 minutes. I got an email a few days later that said basically that I was no longer being considered.
Interview Questions
- General interview questions - Why do you want to work for Stryker? Tell me more about your previous jobs/internships. Answer Question
Project Engineer InterviewAccepted OfferDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at Stryker (Mahwah, NJ).
Thorough interview process with several different managers representing different business units within the company. They wanted to see that I had done my research about the corporation but mostly the division. Some serious engineering questions, too. Design and engineering rationale, drawing interpretation, and medical device understanding.
Interview Questions
- Reading a drawing in detail on the spot Answer Question
Asked if offer was up for negotiation. Instantly declined negotiation

Project Engineer InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Stryker (Kalamazoo, MI) in September 2010.
I was contacted by a recruiter that took my information and forwarded me to Styker HR. I had 2 phone interviews with styker HR then a phone interview with an engineer. After that they had me take a personality test and they ran a background check. After all of this they flew me out to Michigan to meet with the various department heads where each of them had a custom little test ready for me. At the end of the day I was meeting with a director of product development and he had me take a test where I read a patent and reproduced a part based on it. After that test he told me I won't give you a job because you would be bored here, however I will recommend you to the advanced product development team. The advanced product development team flew me out the next week to meet with them, after meeting with everyone on the team one on one and going to lunch with one of there higher ups, I sat down with a team member that only asked me if I had managerial experience, I told him no and he told me that they would not offer me a job based on that. At the time I was fresh out of school and had a few months work experience at no time did I pretend to have managerial experience.
TLDR: They were unable to read a resume ahead of time.

PARIS — La Samaritaine, the landmark department store owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has chosen Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of the SANAA agency to design its new retail-to-housing complex.
The Art Deco-style building, located between the Seine River and the Rue de Rivoli, shuttered abruptly in June 2005 because it did not meet city fire safety standards. The site will be reborn as a complex combining retail, offices, social housing and possibly a hotel.
"This is an important step for the future of La Samaritaine," the store said.
The Tokyo-based architects, who were awarded the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize on Monday, are due to present their project by the end of the year. Work is not expected to start until 2011, with an opening slated for the end of 2013.
Among SANAA's major projects are stores for Christian Dior and Issey Miyake in Tokyo, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York and the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London.

Rage Against The Machine
"Bulls on Parade" is a song released by American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine in 1996, and can be found on their second album, Evil Empire. The song is widely known for its popular guitar solo containing a vinyl scratch effect used by Tom Morello, done by toggling between two pickups while rubbing his hands on the strings over the pickups to create the effect that someone is scratching a vinyl disc.

Romance Report for March 24: Of Marriages and Mistresses
Did Renee Play Second-Banana to Bradley?
Now that it's clear Renee Zellweger's breakup with Bradley Cooper had nothing to do with Sandra Bullock, the question remains: Why did they call it quits? Us Weekly blames a surprising third party.
"If I had to pick any possible mistress, it would be Brad's career," an insider informs the mag. "He worked really hard to get [to] leading-man status."
The couple hooked up just as the actor's career took off with "The Hangover," and Zellweger "had to take a backseat," explains the source. "She traveled with him to make it work."
Not that the Oscar winner, 41, had a problem compromising. "She's accomplished a lot of her professional goals," notes another snitch. "So Renee took some time out to be a great girlfriend and see if this is what it took to make a relationship work."
Ultimately, it wasn't, so "she stopped fighting" and admitted it wasn't going to work.
Another purported sticking point, says PopEater, was Zellweger's desire to make things more permanent. "She wanted a ring," maintains an insider, "and he just wasn't ready to propose."
