The war between Israel and Hamas has left both sides accused of committing war crimes as Gaza lies shattered.
In less than two months a reported 17,000 homes were destroyed while tens of thousands have been left destitute and without a place to live.
On top of this, Israel is confiscating around 1,000 acres of Palestinian land near Bethlehem. Human rights expert Professor William Schabas is chairman of a U.N. inquiry in to the conflict.
He's received criticism in this role and the Commission of the Inquiry he is leading has been labelled a 'Kangaroo court' by the spokesperson for the Israeli foreign minister. Schabas seemed optimistic about the prospect of speaking with unenthusiastic officials.
"They can't prevent us doing an inquiry by refusing to give us access."
"I'm hopeful that we're going to convince Israel to cooperate with the inquiry. You know, five or six years ago, there was a controversial inquiry that was presided over by Richard Goldstone."
"He later said that if he had known things when the report was being prepared that he later learned, the report would have been different. I think that's a powerful lesson for Israel about the interest it has in actually coming forward and cooperating with the inquiry."
'There already has been some unpleasantness'
Previously, in the context of an attack on the Goldstone inquiry, Schabas didn't shy away from attacking the current Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that "If I had to choose an individual who would be the greatest threat to the survival of Israel, I'd probably choose Netanyahu."
But he told the program that this inquiry differs greatly to the one five years ago:
"The big difference this time, compared to what the inquiry that was done five years ago about Operation Cast Lead, is that the International Criminal Court is sitting in the wings. Palestine has not yet accepted the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. But it seems it's making signals to indicate that that's very likely."
"And so the report that this commission will carry out may, depending on its conclusions, provide material that would then go to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court."
"That's a pretty big stick if we come to the conclusion that there were war crimes that may have been committed."
A renowned expert in international human rights law, Professor Schabas has been at the forefront of human rights issues around the world for years.
Many admire his work but, just as the U.N.'s Former Human Rights High Commissioner Navi Pillay told the program recently, this role comes with a price.
"There may be some backlash; there already has been some unpleasantness. I'm prepared for it."
"It goes with the territory of being a human rights investigator that you're going to get people angry at you. And I'll have to live with that."
I realy love Amanpour ,hey Christiane deserves absolute respect. She is someone vibrant ! The way she asks her question reflect intelligence n all that brilliance!!!!!!!!!!! I SALUTE you dear!!!!!!!!
Instead of an investigation why didn't the UN stop the shooting of rockets at Israel. Why didn't the UN berate Hamas Palestinians group from even shooting during a cease fire. UN is a useless outfit. Shut up!
Prof. Schabas
Will you also be investigating Hamas for having committed the crimes of genocide and attempted genocide? Hamas's charter calls for the killing of Jews because they are Jews (Articles 7, 13, 15, & 28). Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide in part genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; and chapter 3 defines the following acts as punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide. It seems to me they clearly did that in all their encounters with Israel.
We presume - and expect - that any such investigation will be looking, intently, at the roster of crime issues Hamas has raised in their terrorist-fueled conduct, including utilizing their own men, women and children as human shields, and intentional action of diverting schools, churches and other civilian-populated locals as the munitions banks and launching pads for their relentless rocket fire into Israel.
Read the "Koenig Memorandum" before spouting off.
I'd not heard of the Koenig Report. So I researched a little. Seems authentic but its recommendations were rejected by all Israeli governments. You may want to believe that the KM represents the innermost thoughts of Israelis but that belief is unsupported by events.
Schabas is biased against Israel for years !! he is hypocrite and i'm not sure how he got this task.....
No, Hammas should not be charged for was crimes but corruption. It is a stupid organization who can't tell their head from a hole in the ground. 3000 innocent children and women have died and they claim that a victory. They should learn a few things from their Lebanese neighbors 🙂
Shawn, does your comment mean that Hamas has no responsibility in the death of 3000 Palestinians ?
If this is the case, please rethink of exactly what happened there as for example: 1- Children and women kept by force as human shields 2- Children who built tunnels were killed by Hamas after the work was completed. 3- Firing of rockets from civilian areas and right among them 4- Leaflets distributed by the Israeli army for civilians to evacuate but these civilians were retained by force by Hamas 5- The children killed on the beach were killed by Hamas on purpose to condemn Israel ....etc I could go on and on
So does your comment still mean that Hamas has no responsibility in the death of 3000 Palestinians ?
Prof Schabas has every reason to project confidence. Long ago he announced his hatred of Israel and started working on his "case" years ago. His findings will not surprise anyone, sadly due to his slanted views rather than any information he will actually collect. Like the UN itself and it's various committees and agencies, he's a friend of Hamas. UN personnel in Gaza so embrace Hamas that they kindly returned munitions that Hamas "hid" in a UN-sponsored school. Funny, no mention of almost two dozen summary executions conducted by Hamas in the wake of the conflict. The executioners dressed in black with black masks, just like their comrades in ISIS. "Kangaroo Court" is too kind of a term when referencing the UN-ICC anti-Israel lynch mob delighting in the prospect of their "investigation" results. Hitler smiles from the bowels of hell.
I am afraid all you guys will have a hard time spinning the atrocities and murder of the innocent of the Christian and Muslim Palestinians. We know you can't help your hatred for the Palestinians but that doesn't excuse Israel from paying for war crimes.
Naz, has the word fact mean anything in your vocab ??
HAMASS cowards hide their faces and cower behind their women and children.
HAMASS teaches parents to strap suicide vests on teenagers and children.
HAMASS TV shows how good children will sacrifice their lives to destroy evil Israel.
HAMASS teaches parents not to leave their homes with their children when circulars fall from the sky telling them of an impending airstrike.
HAMASS stores rockets and bombs in UN Schools and then quickly removes them before airstrikes.
HAMASS wants screaming and dead Palestinian children to use as PUBLICITY so they can get idiots like you to believe they are the true victims.
there was never an attack on Christians. Muslims hate Jews and Christians.
The Plestinian leaders are those hating Palestinians the most. Aftr all, it's them who are responsible for the war that goes on for 66 years despite multiple peace offers rejected by Palestinian leadership. the simple truth is that one side can initiate and maintain a war but BOTH sides are necerrary to make peace. This means that as long as the Palestinian leaders are willing the war to continue it will continue. More settlements will be built and more Palestinians will be killed. When the numer of ded Palestinians will satisfy those still aliive they will FORCE their leaders to ask for peace.
Talk about pure bias against Israel. First the sentence, then the trial! Before he even hops into his role as the head marsupial of this kangaroo court, Shable is talking about prosecuting Israel at ICC. He is getting ready for the PA to gets the paperwork done and applly to the ICC for membership..
You mean like israel massacring all those 2,000+ palestinians, destroying billions of dollars in property, and then stealing 900 acres of palestinian land after the three dead teens incident and before any presentation of evidence, any arrests, any trial by jury?
there is a say in arabic:"if you live in a glass house do not throw stones on your neighbours"
south Israel
It sounds to me like the bias is only coming from the Israeli side and those who defend them.
Agreed, debates should be encouraged, the stronger arguments on both sides the more interesting the debate and lasting resolution. On this issue in particular, however, the defenders of Israel's action on this blog generally appear to be speaking out of emotional bias and hate rather than rational thoughts derived from and supported by facts. + 2000 dead on the Palestinian side and – 100 dead on the Israeli side in this last round of atrocities, I would also struggle to forumulate a coherent argument supported by evidence to defend Israel's actions, there really isn't one.
The UN definition of genocide is so overly broad so as to make it legally uncertain and not beneficial. Under this definition, the US attempt to destroy the Nazis in WWII might be called genocide, as would our destruction of the Iranian army [definitely much more force used than necessary and major difference as to the number of causalities on both sides. The current fighting among various Muslim sects may also fall into the definition, but the UN seems only interested in investigating Israel. Could this be because Israel is a European country and the UN is filled with a majority of third world countries?
No, it is because there are so many Middle Eastern countries that hate Israel, and they have crude oil that the advanced Western Nations need. The Islamic nations produce very little other than crude oil.
By your logic what the Germans did to the Jewish people was not a genocide it was, according to them at the time, a preventive strike to stop Jewish people from controlling Germany and then possibly the theft of German's land. taking over Germany and possibly stealing their land. Does that make sense, your logic that is? If not then it's the same thing here. Israel is doing so many bad things to the Palestinians and breaking so many laws and the worst of all is the killing of these poor peoples children. For what? So Israel can justify stealing land. Where is the sense in that?
Israel OWNs what the world calls the West Bank. It was won in a war in which it was attacked by the sovereign of that land, Jordan. Jordan lost. Cookies. Tough.
Israel fights for its survival. it will not wait for American soldiers, or French or English. About 70 years ago Jews swore they will never again depend on someone else's army.
Look how pathetic the UN has been in protecting Israel thus far. Weapons inside UN schools in Gaza. UN-Nepalize soldiers taken hostage in Syria. What next?
Now, they have been fighting against terrorists, longer than most. And more humanely than any other. No arab country fights insurgencies humanely at all, and no ester country fights terror, without some risk of civilian loss in enemy lands.
There is a huge difference between a war fought among two nations and the one sided war waged by Israel against defenseless women and children. Don't make the world laugh when you bring in Hamas as a threat to the army of Israel.
Any nation that tries to justify their actions of destroying Palestinian homes and businesses only to turn around and steal them is a society that should not be respected by the American voters. This society called Israel is a corrupt and lawless nation. American citizens must work diligently to distance ourselves from this nation who is bent on the destabilization and destruction of the civilized world. Our politicians must be encouraged to place Americas interests ahead of any foreign nation's.
Why worry about it? Much bigger war crimes are being committed by ISIS in Iraq. And how about the war crimes in Syria by Assad? And then we also have the situation in Nigeria. Not to mention Ukraine and many other places around the world. I mean in actual fact war crimes are being committed all over the world. Of course it always seems that for some mysterious reason the Israeli-Palestinian conflict somehow merits more attention from the UN and the so-called world community than other larger conflicts elsewhere.
When a nation commits war crimes, especially a nation that is an occupier it should be a concern to all of us because we all share this planet. Crimes committed by Germany were no less war crimes as crimes being committed by a nation that is quick to remind the world that they are a democracy and not a any society around them. They are trying to slowly wipe out the Palestinians and that is a concern to everyone. Why is it not a concern to you? Do you think your life is any more of value than theirs? If you even think yes then you are as guilty of war crimes as Israel because you are no better human being.
In the past 15 years I've noticed a drastic and alarming change in American policy, especially foreign policy. The America I know never places any foreign nation's interests and policies ahead of their own. The American politicians we all new never allowed a foreign interest lobby group to corrupt them. The America I live in is being manipulated to ignore war crimes by Israel, killing of innocent people, made threats to a nuclear nation rather than meet and discuss; and now the biggest crime of the century is occurring before all our eyes, Israel stealing Palestinian land, a 1000 acres no less, and the society that is a just society (America) is staying silent and allowing the injustice to continue as if Israel is RUNNING AMERICA. Why are we meddling in middle east policies when a few decades ago we kept our distance. These questions I'm posing are for the media to investigate and report to the American voters who are the politicians responsible for selling out America. These questions are also aimed at the readers. Ask your representatives why are they wasting our hard earned taxpayers dollars in the middle east instead of here on our soil. Terrorism is a word used by Israel not by America, so why are our politicians using the same term. Are they a mouth piece for Israel now? Ask your elected representative if he or she is working directly or indirectly with APAC and you'll have your answer.
If Israel gets away with the war crimes committed against the defenseless Christian and Muslim Palestinians what kind of a precedent are we setting. How can the world justify prosecuting the Germans for war crimes but now when the Jewish nation does the same they are justified. What kind of a world will we have if any nation can be left to act lawless and get away with it? How can civilized nations and their people live with the blood of Palestinian children on their hands as if their lives meant nothing to the world?
Israel's hatred for the Palestinians runs deep and they continue to display it regularly. They must not be allowed to continue to hunt and kill the Palestinian people one by one and the abusive treatment has gone on for far too long for the world to continue to side with the criminals. Listen to your own hearts and imagine living under the impossible treatment and abuse they get every single day while under the Israeli rule.
Israeli's defense force every single night and in the middle of the night go to Palestinian homes in many villages to disrupt their sleep and to make their lives miserable because they are trying to make them leave their homes so Israel can take it. How can we sit and talk about justifying the continued nurture to 2 million Christian and Muslim Palestinians who receive the same treatment by Israel.
Lawlessness by Israel must be stopped by the civilized world. Israel is irresponsible and they've proven that they can't live with the Palestinians and they can't be trusted to keep them alive. Palestinians must have their own land and other option Israel has proven is impossible. Segregation continues (APARTHEID).
We are the laughing stock of the world because we can't control Israel.
Humanity is a laughing stock because we can't control people like you!
yup you are
Is it sitting in the wings for Syria? For Nigeria? The Congo? Russia? The UN is only interested in the palestinans
and blaming Israel for everything..have no respect for them at all...
What a hypocrite
I see no evidence anywhere of the Palestinians being generally blamed for anything. In fact, quite the opposite. No group of people that I can think of in recent history have been so excused for plainly evil conduct and so held irresponsible for their own actions than the Palestinians. Intellectuals the world over go to great lengths to EXCUSE the Palestinians for all the bad actions their compatriots have committed over the past 60 years. It's always because they were provoked by the Israelis. These are a people who celebrate as national heroes people whose great heroic act was to sneak into homes at night and bash in the skulls of infants. Keep in mind, that if the Palestinians simply gave up their hopes of conquering all of Israel and made peace with Israel 50 years ago, they'd likely have their own country and enjoy a standard of living far surpassing their current state and the that of their Arab neighbors.
After Israel independence in 1948 all the Arab governments involved announced two things. First, they would not recognize Israel. Second, they would not admit Israelis of any religion to their territories, which meant that not only Israeli Jews but also Israeli Muslims and Christians were not allowed into East Jerusalem. Catholic and Protestant Christians were permitted to enter once a year on Christmas Day for a few hours, but otherwise there was no admittance to the holy places in Jerusalem for Jews or Christians. Worse than that, Muslims in Israel were unable to go on the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. For Christians, pilgrimage is optional. For Muslims it is a basic obligation of the faith. A Muslim is required to go on pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina at least once in a lifetime. The Saudi government of the time ruled that Muslims who were Israeli citizens could not go. Some years later, they modified this rule.
At the same time, virtually all the Arab governments announced that they would not give visas to Jews of any nationality. This was not furtive—it was public, proclaimed on the visa forms and in the tourist literature. They made it quite clear that people of the Jewish religion, no matter what their citizenship, would not be given visas or be permitted to enter any independent Arab country. Again, not a word of protest from anywhere. One can imagine the outrage if Israel had announced that it would not give visas to Muslims, still more if the United States were to do so. As directed against Jews, this ban was seen as perfectly natural and normal. In some countries it continues to this day, although in practice most Arab countries have given it up.
Neither the United Nations nor the public protested any of this in any way, so it is hardly surprising that Arab governments concluded that they had license for this sort of action and worse. One other example: unlike the other Arab countries, the Jordanians were at that time willing to accept Palestinian refugees as citizens, and the Jordanian nationality law of February 4, 1954, offered Jordanian citizenship to Palestinians, defined as natives and residents of the mandated territory of Palestine—"except Jews." This was clearly stated. Not a murmur of protest from anyone, anywhere.
After the 1967 war, the Israelis came into possession of the former Arab-occupied Palestinian territories, including a number of schools run by unrwa, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. These schools were funded by the United Nations. When the Israelis had a chance to look at the Syrian, Jordanian, or Egyptian textbooks that these UN-funded schools used, they found many examples of unequivocal anti-Semitism. Although the Israelis could do nothing about anti-Semitism in textbooks in Arab countries, they felt that they could do something about anti-Semitism in textbooks used in schools funded and maintained by the United Nations. The matter was referred to the UN, which referred it to unesco, which appointed a commission of three professors of Arabic—one Turkish, one French, and one American. These professors examined the textbooks and wrote a lengthy report saying that some textbooks were acceptable, some were beyond repair and should be abandoned, and some should be corrected. The report was presented to unesco on April 4, 1969. It was never published.
Another example of double standard occurred in the Syrian city of Hama and in refugee camps in Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon. The troubles in Hama began with an uprising headed by the radical group the Muslim Brothers in 1982. The government responded swiftly. Troops were sent, supported by armor, artillery, and aircraft, and within a very short time they had reduced a large part of the city to rubble. The number killed was estimated, by Amnesty International, at somewhere between ten thousand and twenty-five thousand. The action, which was ordered and supervised by the Syrian President, Hafiz al-Assad, attracted little attention at the time, and did not prevent the United States from subsequently courting Assad, who received a long succession of visits from American Secretaries of State James Baker, Warren Christopher, and Madeleine Albright, and even from President Clinton. It is hardly likely that Americans would have been so eager to propitiate a ruler who had perpetrated such crimes on Western soil, with Western victims. The massacre of seven hundred to eight hundred Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila that same year was carried out by Lebanese militiamen, led by a Lebanese commander who subsequently became a minister in the Syrian-sponsored Lebanese government, and it was seen as a reprisal for the assassination of the Lebanese President Bashir Gemayyel. Ariel Sharon, who at the time commanded the Israeli forces in Lebanon, was reprimanded by an Israeli commission of inquiry for not having foreseen and prevented the massacre, and was forced to resign from his position as Minister of Defense. It is understandable that the Palestinians and other Arabs should lay sole blame for the massacre on Sharon. What is puzzling is that Europeans and Americans should do the same. Some even wanted to try Sharon for crimes against humanity before a tribunal in Europe. No such suggestion was made regarding either Saddam Hussein or Hafiz al-Assad, who slaughtered tens of thousands of their compatriots. It is easy to understand the bitterness of those who see the implication here. It was as if the militia who had carried out the deed were animals, not accountable by the same human standards as the Israelis.
UN helped Hamas to perform crimes against humanity by storing Hamas rockets and weapons in the UN buildings (thus abusing the international conventions on diplomatic immunity) and supplying these rockets to Hamas. UN also hid entrances to the military Hamas tunnels in its building and booby-trapped these buildings. So how can war criminals and criminals against humanity to investigate somebody's crime? Such an investigation intended to incriminate a whole country is itself a crime of genocide.
This 'inquiry' is really just a joke. William Schabas is about as biased and individual that could be found to head it. Fortunately the only ones who will give his findings any merit are the UN and hamas. Funny how they are joined at the hip.
Israel is a dog that needs to be flogged!!!! Filthy murdering Jewish parasites that have lied to the entire world. They are Zionazis guilty of holocausting Palestine. The Israeli Jews did 911 and then viciously framed the Arab world, mainly the Iraqis! The leader of ISIS is an Israeli Mossad agent named Elliot Shimon and Steven Joel Sotloff, the headless Jew was not American but Israeli. Israel tried to set up both Syria and Iran for war with the US. Israel also stole the Levithian oil field from Lebanon and is confiscating the profits with Noble Energy in Texas! Israel is bad!
The vast number of so called civilian deaths were in fact hamas terrorist as is obviously from the demographics 80% males of military age way different from the Gaza norm this has been verified by NY Times, Time Magazine and the BBC.
The names and gender of the "civilian" casualties were obtained directly from Al Jazeera (no friend of Israel) 80% were males the vast majority at military age – the reason being that they were not civilian a product of Paliwood.
Of you care about civilian casualties take it up with Hamas who use human shields and launch rockets from apartment complex UNRWA schools, mosques and athletic fields and don't forget the over 100 children that died making those tunnels.
Israel is not perfect but it is not obliged to be! The Palestinians are the only so called 'refugees' to be held in captivity by their own brethren (camps in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan) – the only so called 'occupied people' to refuse numerous offers of statehood (from 1949 to 2007 all ratified by Israel with the intention of breaking the cycle of violence). Perhaps if they weren't so busy blowing up school buses they might have caught the boat to nationhood. I'm sick of it – there are many worthwhile humanitarian causes in the world but the Palestinians are not one of them – if they want to wallow in an endless cult of death leave them to it .
as an israeli jewish living all my life in israel, i can tell you that i was never taught in school or elsewhere to hate arabs or muslims , but the hamas schools teach their kids that it is good to kill jews and christians. if you ever go to Gaza- ask yourself: where are all the christians that used to live there in the past?
also i can tell you that during this summer hamas threw 4000 rockets on israeli cities. i feel that israel always wanted to have peace with its neighbours- and in fact have peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan. but hamas doesnt want to have peace- their aim is to kill non-muslims and especially jews as many as possible. they are very similar to ISIS.
i dont invent it- they declare it everywhere in the media.
my grandparents families were killed in the holaucost 70 years ago. and now hamas wants to kill me and my family as well as all my people. hamas also kill its own people. they hang people with no trial, they shoot their own people in gaza. the only reason the gazan people dont protest against them is that they are afraid of them. i feel sorry that i have such neighbours. i have nice and worm relationship with israeli-arabs, they are nice people. by the way- there is not even 1 (out of 1 million!!) israeli arabs that wants to live in Gaza- can you guess why?

KLH Housing Corp. Promoting Healthy Eating:
Starting in 2016, we were advised of a possible opportunity to have some apple trees planted on several of the KLH Housing Corp's sites.
Liza Hancok, was successful in securing a grant in 2018 for the Housing Corp. for this project.
Liza wanted to give the Housing Corp an opportunity to provide fresh 'fruit' to our tenants at no cost.

I Used to Write Novels. Then Trump Rendered Fiction Redundant.
I'm often asked why I ditched writing novels for political commentary. Usually I respond: "Because Donald Trump rendered fiction redundant." That may sound glib, but it gets at something profound.
The aim of the novelist is to enlist others in his fantasies, immersing them in an alternative reality so emotionally compelling that they willingly suspend disbelief. Trump has dangerously conflated this sort of storytelling with real-life presidential leadership, casting himself in the role of the archetypal savior-hero, battling the forces of evil. He's our first novelist in chief.
I've written several psychological novels. Unavoidably, I view Trump in psychological terms, as a character whose inner life dictates his actions, often for the worse. Others have been more circumspect. Many

Basement renovation is the most expensive work when it comes to property renovations. I get pleasure from watching house renovation shows on Tv, like Love It Or List It and Property Brothers. Basement renovations, which includes updates to your bathroom can be completed on a spending budget and offer a world of worth to your home. As Ottawa basement contractors, we constantly supply solutions for you, such as insurance coverage coverage to safeguard you from any costs linked with potential water damage.
We have a big portfolio of really pleased basement renovations in Ottawa and an A+ on BBB. Communicating your price range and how long the project must take is quite critical you never require a contractor stalling on your funds. You cannot possibly relish using your newly renovated basement when your basement finishing concepts will price you an arm and a leg.
Many times a homeowner decides to remodel a basement only when the basement atmosphere has grow to be so intolerable that they can no longer stand to reside with it. With many widespread basement finishing materials employed on the market, (such as drywall, mold-resistant drywall, wood, carpeting) moisture can run a tremendously damaging course, eventually ruining the completed location.
For instance, adding a toilet and bath is a fantastic basement finishing notion, but it can make a huge dent on your price range. Altering the size of your deck is most likely the 1st point you require to appear at when doing this outside renovation. You can see in this home bar we created that all we had to do was produce an opening by way of a load bearing wall and produce our basement bar area just beyond the basement household area.
This is why you want to decide your spending budget very first prior to beginning operate on something. To be capable to qualify, these organizations must be licensed and still have bonds, insurance policies, WCB and 1st and foremost, a great history. Most Ottawa basement renovations contractors offer NO assure whatsoever and could be out of company inside the year anyhow.…

Dallas — On Thursday evening at Dallas City Performance Hall, the Orchestra of New Spain presented two related, but very different, performances simultaneously. One was a Baroque setting of the Catholic Mass composed in 1750 by Francisco Courcelle. The other is the flamenco troupe headed by San Francisco-based flamenco dancer Danica Sena. The two different art forms alternated. To add to the time warp, dancers from the Avant Chamber Ballet performed a modern dance expression of the mass. Modernist quasi-religious paintings by artist Juan Carlos del Valle, both striking and inspirational, were projected on a screen in the back.
The stage was divided in half with the bilayers and singers of the ONS as well as the cante (flamenco singer) and guitarist in the back half. The front half was dedicated to the two different kinds of dance. The flamenco dancers, Danica Sena and Emilio Ochando, wore a series of flamenco costumes. The Avant dancers wore brightly colored costumes designed by Fernando Hernandez. Behind everything, some dramatic paintings were projected on a full-size movie screen.
An aside: This alternation of wildly different art performances will remind opera buffs of Richard Strauss' comic opera Ariadne auf Naxos. The plot revolves around a wealthy nobleman who is presenting an evening's entertainment. One is the premiere of an opera seria (Ariadne auf Naxos) and, to lighten the mood, he also hired a group of street burlesque comedians. Everything is running late, so the nobleman orders that the performances need to be performed at the same time. In this opera, the juxtaposition of the two groups (which keep interrupting each other) causes much hilarity.
In the program notes, Artistic Director Grover Wilkins III calls his combination "From the Cathedral to the Street."
Courcelle's mass is based on a piece of chant called Ave maris stello (Hail Queen of the Seas). Its musical language is similar to other such works written in the Baroque era and uses the standard Catholic mass text. It is for a relatively large orchestra, playing on historically correct instruments, and a double chorus. The music for the two flamenco dancers is a cante (singer, in this case a tenor) and a guitar.
There are three elements to a flamenco performance. One is the baile (dancer), another is the toque and the last is the cante flamenco (flamenco singer). The origin of the traditional music that is sung is a combination of Andalusian folk songs, the music of the gitanos (Spanish gypsies) and the Persian/Arabic florid singing style.
The cante for this performance is Jesus Castilla, who has won many international prizes. His performance is so intense that his voice occasionally breaks and his hands tremble from the effort. The toque is the equally famous El Niño Manuel. The dancers are the internationally known Danica Sena, the embodiment of grace and strength, and Emilio Orcando, a sparkplug of a dancer whose feet move so fast that he is able to vibrate his way across the stage.
The Avant Chamber Ballet is a relatively new company founded by artistic director Katie Cooper, and has quickly risen to top billing. She separates Avant from other contemporary ballet companies by always using live music. I was unable to find a credit in the program for the choreographic interpretation of the mass, but it was very effective. Unfortunately, it was difficult to make out the words, so it was not possible to match up the movements with the words in anything but a general impression. Fernando Hernadez's costumes were strikingly beautiful and atypical of dance costumes: Skintight top combined with tights and a panel of fabric in the front and back for the women and just in the back for the men.
All the performances were excellent. The ONS was in top form and intonation, always a problem with original instruments, was outstanding. This also goes for the singers, who are split on the two sides of the stage. The quasi-improvised singing of Jesus Castilla was nothing short of astounding. It owes a lot to Andalusian folk songs, Hebrew chant and also to the adhan (call to prayer) sung from the minaret of mosques. In an odd way, the constant and elaborate runs are reminiscent to what singers do in contemporary soul music.
The elements of the program are all so different that they never meld. Instead, the performance is more like a chunky vegetable soup, where each spoonful has something different in it. You will enjoy the performance more if you keep the title of the program in mind: From the Cathedral to the Street.

Pantera Steering Rack Bushing.
This bushing replaces the stock plastic sleeve on the passenger side of the steering rack. Made from Bronze for long life.
Posted by Unknown on 7th Oct 2014
The bushing needed to be press fitted in my CamGear rack. Then the bushing ID changed and the rod would not fit. We had to hone the ID to fit correctly. This bushing is not a direct replacement for ALL racks.
SACC Restorations: Yes, the bushing is a press fit as it should be. It is designed to be an improvement over the stock plastic bushing. With proper installation, it will last a VERY long time!

HONOLULU - (October 27, 2014) -- Organizers have called a lay day today for the HIC PRO at Sunset Beach due to small surf in the 1- to 3-foot range. The HIC PRO is the Official Qualifier for the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing and will be looking for three full days of competition in contestable waves to crown a champion.
"The consistent surf we've been enjoying on the North Shore in the weeks leading up to the HIC PRO has tapered off," said Surfing Director Marty Thomas, of this-morning's conditions. "We now have small scale North trade wind swell to start the waiting period. However, there is a decent 4- to 6-foot-plus NW swell forming, expected to arrive Thursday and hold through the weekend." Organizers will continue to assess the surf each morning.
The HIC Pro - October 27 through November 10 - is a 4-star rated event that features a field of 112 surfers and offers a total prize purse of $85,000. More than 50 per cent of the field is comprised of Hawaii surfers (58), as well as athletes from Australia (16), USA Mainland (24), Japan (6), Tahiti (2), France (1) and South America (1), plus 4 wild cards.
The HIC Pro is an important event for aspiring professionals to gain ratings points before the end of the year, as well as to fine-tune equipment and performances for the Hawaiian winter surf season.
North Shore's own Fred Patacchia is the #1 seed for the event. Behind him is a truly inspired young field of aspirants who are climbing the ranks with an eye on becoming part of Hawaii's "new order" of professionals. Among them: Kaito Kino (20); Kaulana Apo (16); Kalani David (16); and Kaimana Jaquias (21). Of course, Sunset wouldn't be Sunset without a handful of seasoned competitors. Among them look for Joel Centeio (31); Evan Valiere (30); Jamie O'Brien (31); Fred Patacchia (32); and Pancho Sullivan (41).
The HIC PRO will be televised LIVE on Oceanic SURF Channel 250 & 1250HD in Hawaii, and shown on delayed basis nationally in the US on TWC SportsNet & its affiliate distributors DirecTV, Cox Communications, Charter Communications, Bright House Networks, Verizon FiOS, and AT&T U-Verse. Check your local listings for dates & times.

The Cultural Education Challenge is a three-year programme led by A New Direction aiming to bring about a step change in cultural education in London.
In spring 2015 an open application process invited expressions of interest in the programme from across the cultural education sector. Shortlisted partnerships are now composing business cases for their proposed initiatives and outcomes of the application process will be announced later in the summer.
In this blog, Anita Kerwin-Nye, the Chair of the advisory group sitting at the centre of the Challenge, reflects on the bids received.
"I am fortunate enough to Chair the Board of the Cultural Education Challenge – the group providing advice on the Challenge's ambition and supporting decision making on which initiatives the Challenge should invest in.
45 applications were received in this first year of the Challenge and I know from experience as a fundraiser, grant maker and charity CEO that each reflected hard work and the hopes of the applicant organisation. All of the bids had the potential to take forward the Challenge aims.
Given this we felt it important to find ways to provide feedback that will help applicants with future bids and their wider development work. Alongside emails, calls and meetings with both successful and unsuccessful applicants on personal feedback, A New Direction have published a summary of data on the bids. *
Alongside this I agreed to summarise my top tips for potential future applicants based on the review of applications to date. So – with a frankness that I know fundraisers desire and the reflections of one who had to read 45 six page applications – here are my top five.
1. Why haven't you done it already? If you have been doing it for years make a compelling case for why the approach you are suggesting now will meet the Challenge goals (and maybe why you didn't meet them earlier!!) Lots of applicants have been doing great work – some have been funded historically to meet some of the aims that the Challenge wanted to address. Clearly if they had been entirely successful then the Challenge wouldn't be needed so make a clear case on what you have learnt. What will you do differently this time? How will you build on past successes but not repeat past failures?
Multi millions have been put into extending reach of cultural education children from low income homes for example and yet our collective strike rate is still lamentably low. How will your bid change the status quo? (and I can tell you from experience that good grant makers welcome the organisation that explains in their application how they haven't always got it right!)
2. Why do you need our money? Tell us why you cannot pay for it yourself. When the very wealthy organisations – indeed often partnerships of very wealthy organisations – make a bid for what is a relatively small pot of money funders really want to know how their money will make a difference. I know from experience that small pots can make a big difference even within a charity with a multi-million pound turnover but this needs careful explanation.
3. With schools not for schools. If you are writing a bid about working with schools it's crucial to have discussed the ideas with teachers and leaders within the schools that you want to target. Better still let them lead the bid or be listed as a joint partner with an equal share of the development, ownership and funding. We would have liked to see more schools listed as core partners in bids about the school-led aspects of the Challenge.
4. How will you change the world? When an investment is about system change – as the Challenge is – it is really important to tell the story about how you will start to change the system. There were a range of really great projects doing good work but it was hard to see how they could create culture change or share their learning. Make sure bids have a realistic communications and knowledge sharing budget and detail of how you will use the investment to benefit not just you and your partners but the wider pool (even your competitors!).
5. No jargon. Don't assume the people that are making a decision on your application are experts in your field. I am an expert in education, charities and funding. I know little on culture. Jargon, an assumption that people know relationships, referring to previous initiatives with little explanation of links to the application in hand make it that much harder to see your initiative.
And in this field it matters. One of the big aspects of the Challenge is how we can extend the reach of Cultural Education and share the task of delivering with a wide range of organisations. To do this we have to articulate the work of those who have been doing this for years as their core work to those we need to bring other things to the table.
Please – if you applied to this round or are applying in the future – take these tips in the spirit that they are intended. I would have funded nearly all the applications (and trust me after years of bid reviewing that is not always the case!) and all had so much potential to meet the aims of the Challenge. While – at face value- these are tips on bid writing in truth they are the plea – of a non expert in cultural learning but a mother, an educationalist and a passionate advocate of the third sector and of social enterprise – to consider how we can develop our thinking, our work and our approaches to ensure that high quality cultural education is an entitlement for all."
* A New Direction's Development Officer, Jill Richens, has undertaken some analysis of the expression of interest forms submitted to the Cultural Education Challenge back in May. AND received 45 applications from a range of partners across the cultural education landscape. The attached graphic looks at trends across these applications in terms of geography, sources of match funding and the Challenge themes they responded to.

The real problem is that our culture just doesn't value proper writing anymore. The entire Internet - not just the amateur-written sites, but at least half the professional news articles I click on in Google News, and all manner of other websites representing Fortune 500 corporations - is riddled with grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors. Computer programs released by Microsoft, Adobe, and other major software companies flash little pop-up alert boxes on my screen, and the alerts are ungrammatical or contain misspelled words. None of these businesses cares anymore, apparently, that they're showing off their illiteracy to the public and making themselves look amateurish - because all their competitors are doing the same thing.
Also, last night all the emails in my email inbox abruptly and mysteriously vanished. I was able to restore the oldest ones from a backup file I made last year when I bought my laptop, and I was able to restore the newest ones from Gmail's server. Between the two restorations, I didn't actually lose anything at all. But it was an annoyance I didn't need. And I'm still pained by the fact that when I was laid off, I did lose any personal emails I ever sent from work. I mean, I can live without them, but the completeness of my email archive has always been very important to me. I don't see how it would hurt companies so terribly to allow laid off employees to retrieve a few final personal electronic items from their computers, the same way they allowed me to retrieve a few final personal physical items from my cubicle. They already had someone standing over me and supervising me while I collected the physical items anyway, so it wouldn't be any harder to have someone standing over me and supervising me while I collected the electronic items. But no, they had already canceled my passwords and told me not to even touch the computer.
Then this morning, our Internet connection didn't work. Susan advised me to unplug the router and plug it back in, and after I did this a few times, our Internet was restored. But the secure connection I worked so hard to establish is gone! The router has somehow reset itself to the default settings. This irritates me greatly. I'm going to have to try to redo the whole thing today.
As for plants, my buckwheat has died, and one of my silver bush lupines is looking awfully wilted. I think it got too much water when the yard was flooded, even though I planted it on a little mound that stayed slightly above water. And the drainage ditch I dig did help drain the yard, even though I only managed to get the water flowing all the way out to the street for a few hours at a slow trickle. Most of the water got stuck at various places along the trench, but it evaporated or drained into the ground much faster that way than it had been doing when it all just sat around in a big lake in the back yard. Maybe my sick lupine will recover now. The other lupine that I planted at the same time, a yard or so away, is still looking good.

Donor education programs which focus on philanthropy and related topics, such as financial issues for women, can teach both men and women how to achieve the joy of giving while living. Your institution can incorporate into the donor education event faculty and student presentations which integrate messages into the mission of your institution. These programs can help differentiate/distinguish your institution and create deeper relationships with donors, alumnae, and alumni spouse (Women's Philanthropy Institute 2009, 15). (8)
Effective donor education, combined with financial literacy, can also provide networking opportunities. Associating with women of similar financial standing increases their willingness to use their money to leave a legacy. This is especially relevant for women who are learning to be comfortable with their wealth. Many baby boomer women in this country will inherit twice—once from their parents and once from their spouse. Nevertheless, donors will not give until they know that they can take care of themselves first. As an estate planning attorney, the most common question I hear from a new widow is, "Do I have enough money to live on?" (Of course that question should be asked many years before that moment in time.) Taking the time to systematically educate your women donors, to help them achieve financial literacy, to teach them that by gifting they can reap both current and future rewards will help empower them to act when they receive their "double inheritance."

Sky Homes
In the context of the CityLife development in Milan, Studio Marco Piva proposed the architecture of a 36 floors residential tower and two blocks of residential buildings.
Sky Homes aims to integrate the new buildings with the surrounding context of green areas, minimizing the environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, such as large windows to overview the city, wood and materials from nature chosen for the facades, care to energy and ecological conservation.
The internal distribution studied offers solutions for every housing need, from small apartments, yet luxurious, to penthouses.

I was once asked in an interview, "Why does it benefit people to have access to woodland?" I'm afraid I stuttered and looked completely lost. I don't think I'd ever even considered the possibility that access to woodland might not be a good thing. Fortunately, plenty of (other) people have looked at the question with a bit more insight, and there is a growing body of evidence showing that woodlands are very good for us.
The clearest benefit of being in woodland is our general health. Woodlands provide a calm, (usually) quiet environment where we can exercise. Exercise in woodlands has been shown to relieve physical problems such as high blood pressure and obesity, as well as the mental problems of stress and depression. This exercise may be walking or cycling, but a wide range of bodies encourage volunteers to get involved in woodland management activities. This provides a positive social atmosphere in addition to the exercise of physical work. TCV have pioneered a Green Gym concept and the NHS actively supports work to develop an NHS Forest . In addition to these personal benefits, woodlands provide an important venue for social activity. This can range from concerts and other large events to simple dog walking and picnics. One of the brilliant developments in recent years is the use of Forest Schools as an educational resource. There is plenty more on this in Woodland Trusts' space for people policy document.
But why do we need to manage the woodland for these activities? Well, there are several good reasons:
- For starters, woodland management is often the tool used to gain the social benefit providing, exercise, training, and social interactions. The actual physical activity of working in a team to improve access, prune a tree, or repair a fence can be the social benefit that we wish to see.
- Many woodland activities require some management to incorporate them into existing forest uses. For example: mountain bike trails, concerts, equestrian use, and paintballing (all forest uses near me) have very different requirements and don't tend to interact particularly happily together, though they all provide clear social benefits.
- For people to use a woodland environment, they need to feel comfortable in it. This may be simply maintaining rights of way and removing litter; but there is good evidence to show that people from different demographics have markedly different preferences for woodland type. More vulnerable groups can find woodland environments quite scary, with fear of getting lost and fear of being attacked high on the list (waymarked paths and more open high forest environments may mitigate this problem). Other groups may be walking in woodland specifically to escape other people and might prefer secluded areas within thicket stage planting give a feeling of privacy.
There are clear social benefits to people by providing access to woodland, but we do need to actively tailor our woodlands to meet their specific needs. Ultimately the more people who enjoy benefits from woodland access, the more people will support a UK forestry industry.

There are only a few days left in the year 2016. Every company and everyone are preparing for the new year 2017 to come with some new plans and some activities. This year, millybridal has already held a lot of important events like charity parties, new promotions, and the Christmas event.
As a young fashion brand, millybridal is working hard to sever for its fans and fans-to-be. Not long ago, millybridal sold its pink prom dresses at the unprecedented low prices during the Christmas- about £50 for one fixed prom dress each day. On the boxing day, millybridal also lowers its prices to extend great thanks to its customers' long support.
It seems a great pity to some ladies who have known this brand for the first time. But do not worry. This week, millybridal even gives much more discounts than one has ever expected while all the dresses in that dress store are already cheap enough. There are two main activities. One is the advanced flash sale. Every day, one dress from each collection will be shown on the activity page. The prices of these dresses will be changed automatically at 10 a.m. each day. Different from other flash sales, the quantity is unlimited. For example, one wedding dress, from the ten listed dresses, is marked as the prices £250. During that period, exactly from 10:00 to 10:01, the dress will be sold at only £125. When the checkout is done within 30 seconds, the dress will only be £ 62.5. So, this flash sale is only for a limited time. The other big sale is that all its collection of wedding dresses 2017 will be sold with 70% off. The wedding dresses will be low as only £110. Normally, the new collection will be sold at super high prices, without any discounts. But all this week, the new collection will really be affordable to all budgets.

Besides these activities, the Cheap wedding Dresses collection will also be available. This collection is hidden on the website, only shown during this time. All wedding dresses in that category are about £150 on average.
Millybridal is still working out more and more new events to satisfying its fans and supporters.

Super League restructure: Six clubs walk out of meeting
Last updated on .From the section Rugby League
Officials from six of the 14 Super League clubs walked out of a meeting set up to discuss the proposed restructure of the competition.
The other eight clubs had indicated their support to reduce the number of Super League teams to 12 in 2015.
But the absence of representatives from Catalan Dragons, Huddersfield, Hull FC, Hull KR, Warrington and champions Wigan prevented a vote taking place.
It is a to proposals that were
Under the new format, a league comprising two divisions of 12 teams would be introduced from 2015, with automatic promotion and relegation returning in place of the current licensing system.
A Super League statement said the six clubs blocked a vote to push through those proposals, on the basis that any debate on change should only take place alongside a review of the competition's commercial management and governance.
Super League chairman Brian Barwick said: "It is very disappointing that we were unable to take a vote on such important issues because some clubs chose to leave the room and refuse to participate further.
"In many ways, this form of action is unprecedented. These proposals would have had a positive impact on the whole sport but they were halted by a minority of clubs.
"Clearly some of the clubs have deep-rooted issues and between us we have to find a way of resolving our differences for the benefit of both Super League and the wider game.
"It is my view that this was a very unsatisfactory way for the six clubs to demonstrate their frustration."

Article content
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke isn't the only NHL GM who has informed Hockey Canada brass he won't pull one of his top prospects out of the world juniors if the NHL ends its lockout.
Director of hockey operations Scott Salmond told QMI Agency on Tuesday he has now received similar assurances from NHL GMs representing more than half of the 11 players eligible for recall.
"The majority are in support of the guys playing on the national junior team and once we go over there they're going to let them stay," said Salmond, whose final roster of 23 players leaves for Europe Dec. 15.
"Our problem is after we register our roster on Dec 24th we can't replace anyone who leaves to return to their NHL team."
While it seems unlikely an NHL GM would gut Team Canada in the midst of the tourney, Salmond points out it's every NHL team's prerogative to do so, which is why he has been in constant contact with every NHL GM throughout this process.
"They can (pull them) – it's their job to put the best NHL team on the ice they can," said Salmond, who added he's in the business of winning gold medals while NHL GMs are in the development business.
"Some teams have these guys penciled in to open the season with their clubs – whenever that may be – and others want to evaluate them to see where they would be at."
Salmond has lost plenty of sleep over the uncertainty of the NHL's status as it impacts 11 players in camp who were put on junior recall lists by their NHL clubs in the summer.
Burke told Hockey Canada Tuesday that if defenceman Morgan Rielly makes Team Canada he would be made available to Team Canada for the duration of the tourney.
Salmond wouldn't name which other players had their NHL teams grant similar status but a Winnipeg radio station reported Tuesday the Jets have given Mark Scheifele the green light to stay.
Other recallable players include Team Canada returnees Dougie Hamilton, Scott Harrington, Jonathan Huberdeau and Boone Jenner, as well as newbies Frank Corrado, Ryan Murphy, Derrick Pouliot, Ty Rattie and Brett Ritchie.
"We have great relationships and have had great dialogue with all the NHL teams involved but it's the uncertainty that kills everybody," said Salmond.
"We don't know what we are dealing with because we don't know if or when the NHL is coming back."
The lockout is a blessing as it opens the door for Canada to field the best 19-year-olds possible. But it could be a major curse if the roster has to be drastically altered at the last minute due to an NHL return. Team Canada's toughest decisions will have to be made Dec. 24.
"That's (coach) Steve Spott's decision," said Salmond, who will simply do his best to keep the coaching staff and all parties updated.
"It's still our plan to leave here on the 15th with our 23 best. We will read and react from there."
Oilers rookie sensation Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is not one of the 11 recallable juniors as he is a pro who would automatically return to Edmonton's camp should NHL training camps open before the world junior tourney ends on Jan. 5.

Over at The Billfold, Nicole Dieker has started a series called "How the Baby-Sitters Club Does Money." So it's basically BSC fanfiction, only she's probably getting paid for it. She is imagining what the BSC will be like as adults, and what their financial/work situations will be like.
Now, as you might imagine, and as you probably do too, since you're reading this blog, I always get a little protective whenever I see things written about the BSC outside of the fandom. Most of the BSC articles on BuzzFeed or Jezebel are going to be written by people who, at one point, "grew out of" the BSC, and probably haven't thought about it in fifteen years or so. These articles frequently spell "Mary Anne" with a hyphen and "Jessi" as "Jessie."
So far, this series contains no such mistakes. I can see that the author at least has a lot of BSC info floating around in her brain, although perhaps she has devoted less real estate to this information than the average Stoneybrookite reader. After two parts of this series have been published, I can say that she is batting 500, in Krusher parlance.
Her Mallory is enjoyable. Mallory has gained some prominence as a writer, even if she is self-publishing. I like any vision of Mallory in the future where she is not a loser. I bet that most of us relate way more to Mallory than we would ever admit. Also, she has Mallory be a part of a poly triad, and while it had never crossed my mind before, I can see that happening.
The Kristy one, though, I was not so fond of. Kristy is a mommyblogger after having a bunch of kids and a bunch of failed businesses. I don't see Kristy as the mommyblogging type. Starting something like Babble and then somehow convincing Disney to buy it? Sure. But blogging, and just sitting there and not bossing anyone around, just typing her thoughts and dealing with photographs and design? Take a look at her first journal entry from Friends Forever:
First day with this new journal. Am inspired by Mary Anne and all she's been through. Can't imagine losing nearly everything I own in a fire. Can't imagine losing nearly everything I own no matter how it happened. MA is being very brave. She managed to rescue her current diary (the little leather one with the lined, dated pages and the lock and key), which is about her only source of memories these days. Am going to start keeping journals and saving them somewhat fireproof. Think I'll ask Watson if I can put them in his safe.
Kristy never writes her journal entires in complete sentences. She doesn't want to spend the time. And working part time in a bank? No way. I also can't see her ever accepting handouts from Watson. Kristy has always been a hardworker and very ambitious.
Now, I can see Dawn becoming a mommyblogger in the healthy living niche easily. She could use her blog as a platform to make herself feel better than everyone else, and her Vista diaries have been good practice for blogging. Mary Anne could get in with the Mormon mommybloggers with perfect houses and children, since she is so domestically inclined. But Kristy? Not enough power in just having a mommyblog.
