Aliza Landes

Aliza Landes was an officer on the North American press desk of the IDF Spokesperon's Unit in 2008-9.
==New media role==
According to the account in The Tablet:
:The IDF’s new media presence was originally the brainchild of Aliza Landes (the American-born daughter of the historian Richard Landes), who was herself only 25 when, as an officer on the IDF’s North American press desk, she piloted the IDF’s first forays into virtual warfare during Operation Cast Lead in the winter of 2008-2009. “In Israel, Facebook had only just opened up, and it was considered a toy for kids,” Landes said. “YouTube was the same. They didn’t think of it as a dissemination tool that could be effective—it was just a way for people to waste time in the office.”
:Landes had already written position papers trying to excite her commanders in the spokesman’s office about the possibilities of a more aggressive social media strategy, but it wasn’t until videos she posted on YouTube began to tally up impressive views that they paid attention. Originally, she told me late last week, she had used YouTube as a way to transfer video files to foreign journalists, who were prevented by the Israeli military from entering Gaza during Cast Lead and were in many instances forced to rely on IDF footage. “It wasn’t for public consumption,” Landes said. She soon began posting routine information updates, like statistics on the number of rockets fired, to an IDF blog and, by the time Cast Lead concluded in January, had moved to commissioning original videos from the military film department. “It was sort of my pet project on top of everything else I was supposed to be doing,” Landes said.
:In August 2009, Landes succeeded in convincing her superiors to give her a dedicated budget for a new media operation. The first big test came in January 2010, not for a war but after the massive earthquake in Haiti, when Israel dispatched emergency medical staff to the Caribbean island. “People were sending us requests for assistance based on Twitter,” Landes said. “So, it wasn’t just a PR tool, it became a practical rescue tool too.” That summer, Landes was responsible for sending out footage from the controversial Mavi Marmara commando raid and convinced her superiors to give her near real-time access to video.
:By the time Landes left later that year, she had a staff of 10 people devoted to putting out polished material in concert with other government ministries–some of which, particularly videos from the widely scrutinized Mavi Marmara episode, wound up giving ammunition to Israel’s critics. “It’s important to be in the conversation,” Landes said. “If you just say, ‘I’m going to cut this out entirely,’ you’re not doing yourself any favors, and in fact you’re doing yourself a disservice.”Allison Hoffman, The ‘Kids’ Behind IDF’s Media, Tablet, 20 November 2012.

All-Parliamentary group on Thorium Energy

The All-Parliamentary group on Thorium Energy was set up to 'explore and discuss the potential benefits of exploiting energy from Thorium, and the merits of various technologies for so doing'.
==Background==
==Current activities==
:The group’s first year has been busy and fruitful. The group has consulted with a wide range of experts in the thorium fuel cycle and advanced reactors, and many members have spoken about thorium in Parliamentary debates. Group members have visited the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) at Sellafield and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) at Culham to discuss thorium-fuelled reactors, and in January 2013, group members chaired the UK’s first thorium working group, comprising representatives from industry, academia and government.
:January also saw group members writing a joint letter to the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP), a pan-European body which sets the agenda for EU-level fission research and development funding. APPG members were disappointed that a draft of SNETP’s key policy document, the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), did not provide adequate coverage of the thorium and MSR R&D work currently taking place in Europe. 11 APPG Members wrote to the SNETP editorial board explaining their concerns. SNETP took our Members’ concerns on board, and substantially increased the focus on thorium and MSRs in the SRIA.
