to undress herself out of her leather jacket and skintight jeans, before placing her fully naked body against Nikki. Her nipples were

hard than ice, as she began to gently circle and grind against Nikki's breasts with their own.

"So, do you like what you see Nikki?" She caressed Nikki's ass with her hands, the Brunette returned the action. She whispered into Natalya's ear.

"Help me get this shirt off, and I'll be all yours baby."

Wasting no time, Natalya quickly let go, and undid the lace of Nikki's crop top and shorts, letting loose the larger than life C cups of the Woman before her.

"That's what Mama likes to see." Nattie muttered, as she began fondling with Nikki's ample breasts. She then lifted the brunette up, before gently dropping her onthe bed back first, whilst Nikki's long legs still straddled around Natalya's waist, and arms wrapped around her neck.

"Come on baby, play rough with me." Nikki begged,

"No not yet."

"Come on you teasing little slut." Nikki pulled the Blonde in closer to her body, forcing Natalya's face into her cleavage.

"Go on, lick it!" Natalya complied, trying to force the Brunette to let go, as Nikki begun to moan in pleasure and satisfaction. Her mans filled the small room, as she clutched the sides of the bed they lay upon.

Natalya began to lift her head up, and saw Nikki Bella sprawled out on the bed, eyes shut and smiling. Natalya decided now was the time.

She quickly grabbed the smaller diva by her hips and turned her over, so her ass


and out. Natalya's D cup breasts jiggled to the fast rhythm as Natalya quickened the tempo of her action.

"Fuck me Nattie!!!" Nikki yelled, her voice full of sexual pleasure.

"I'm gonna peg you more, little slut." Nattie said as she retracted her dildo and forcibly turned the brunette in her back, before reinserting her toy. Natalya's thighs crashed against Nikki's, as her legs pointed high into the air.

Nikki's POV;

As Natalya fucked her, Nikki thought to herself

"God she looks hot with her dick....but I know where'd she look hotter."

Natalya spoke whilst thrusting;

"Don't you cum for me yet Nikki." Natalya ordered as she began to caress Nikki's large breasts, groping them as Nikki's whole body vibrated and shook from the force of Natalya.

"I'm gonna cum Nattie!" Before she did.

Natalya suddenly stopped,but kept the strapon in, and leant down to Nikki's face and breasts.

She whispered:

"Oh, did you just cum for me?"

"Y-y-yeah?"

"Di you know what that means Nikki?"

She shook her head

"It means" She stood up on the bed, before continuing "you're gonna clean it,"

With that, she pulled on the long brunette hair facing her, forcing Nikki up and into Natalya's lower body, directly facing the pink dildo.

Nikki protested, but Natalya was too strong for her to move away.

"Go on, open your mouth you slut." She wiggled her hips, moving the cock across Nikki's lips, before thrusting into Nikki's open mouth, deeper and deeper, until Nikki practically kissed Natalya's large thighs.

Natalya laughed "Hahaha, yeah suck my cock Nikki!" She kept one hand perched on the younger woman's head, bobbing it in


a forward and backward motion for Nikki to suck, whilst keeping the other hand on her own double D breasts, gently circling her nipples; if Nikki wasn't satisfying her now, why shouldn't she do it herself?

"Yeah, I bet that tastes good."

Nikki stared at her dominator above her, only seeing the blonde hair and eyes, blocked by her unleashed breasts. She began to move her own hands to Natalya's waist, loosening the harness attached: Natalya failed to notice.

She began to slide her fingers in between the straps and Natalya's thighs: Natalya didn't notice.

She suddenly pulled down the Harness from Natalya's waist: Natalya noticed.

"What the fuck Bitch?"

Natalya reached for the strap on, but it was now in Nikki's hands.

"My turn Nattie."

"I don't think so."

Natalya grappled with Nikki on the bed,the strap-on on lay on the floor to the side. Natalya kept Nikki held down, and began to finger her pussy. One by one by one, Natalya added her trimmed nails deeper into Nikki's entrance. Nikki flailed her legs to try and disrupt Natalya's efforts, but to no avail. Like with her cock, Natalya thrust her fingers in and out with a rapid motion, the quicker she made Nikki cum, the quicker it would be to get back her toy. Nikki could feel the rush of an orgasm coming, she didn't know how much longer she could last. There was a stronger, more deviant blonde laying on her, dominating her. Nikki couldn't let herself cum again out of her own personal dignity.

Freeing one of her own arms, she


managed to shove the blonde off her chest, bewildering Nattie. Using this momentum, Nikki quickly forced herself upon Nattie, she was going to trig her lover and dominator into submission.

She began to rock Natalya's body, circling her D cup tits with her own C cups, and also rubbing their throbbing clits against one another. Nikki extended her reach to the sides of the bed, gripping them as hard as she could as to stop Nattie simply turning her over and putting Nikki upon the bottom.

"I'm gonna make you cum Nattie."

Natalya had no response, only quiet moans of pleasure as the brunette on top of her tribbed faster, the rough pussy rubbing increased with Natalya's rising orgasm. Wanting to avoid this, Natalya began to spank Nikki's fat ass, itover to Natalya, Nikki pushed the blonde onto her back, before grabbing ahold of her ankles. She slowly pulled Natalya towards the strapon, with Natalya desperately trying to tighten her grip on the scrunched up bed sheets. Slowly but surely, Natalya's entrance had reached Nikki's strapon, with the blonde's legs supported by Nikki's shoulders, Nikki thrust her cock deep into Natalya's pussy.

"I'm a winner. You like my winner cock?"

"I'll..never..cum.!"

Nikki placed her arms behind Natalya's neck, before hoisting the busty Canadian upwards,

but still kept her perched in the pink dildo. Lifting the diva was hard enough, but Nikki had to make sure she dominated Natalya in return. Thrusting her hips into the air, Natalya was helpless as the strapon penetrated and rocked her body rough style. Nikki continued to


hump her fat ass. After a few more minutes, Nikki let the blonde off her toy, as Natalya collapsed on the bed.

"Is that enough for you?"

Exhausted, in pain and pleasured, Natalya answered. 'Yeah...yeah baby."

Removing the strap on, Nikki laid on Natalya's prone body, tits meeting tits, and began to stroke her long blonde hair.

"We should do this more often."

"Tomorrow good."

"Yeah...but my turn first." She planted a kiss on the blonde's lips, before both fell asleep completely naked in each other's arms.Thursday, May 05, 2005

Fashion Police

London - The fashion-conscious owner of a burgled clothes shop said on Wednesday he helped to catch the man who robbed him after spotting the thief dressed in a criminally uncouth mix of stolen trousers and tops. "I couldn't believe that this guy was wearing all the pinched stuff, with little thought of matching items with any real taste," said Neil Primett, who owns the Planet Clothing store in Bedford, a town in south-east England.

Primett, 36, was left dumbfounded when he spotted the man in a blue sleeveless T-shirt - ironically emblazoned with the logo "Criminal" - green trousers and a tracksuit top, just 36 hours after the shop was raided. "I couldn't believe it, he waswearing such a mismatch," he said.

"Picture Rupert the


important components: The actual outcome being the opposite of the intended outcome, and the element of mockery. It is the latter of the two that makes Irony difficult to ascertain. I give you this scenario: A diabetic is crossing the street to go to the pharmacy to buy insulin. As he crosses, he is hit and killed by the insulin delivery truck. This is ironic because he needed the insulin to live, yet it ended up being the death of him. Do you see the element of mockery there? Try this one: An African refugee survived intense civil war only to be killed by a box of humanitarian aid when it landed on him after being ejected from a plane. The only instance of irony in Alanis Morissette'sliberals hold most of the key chairmanships. Obama—who got plenty of primary endorsements from his Senate colleagues, has an experienced legislative staff headed up by Pete "101st Senator" Rouse, and has shown an impressive ability to work across the aisle—will almost certainly have a congenial Congress at his disposal. He just needs to persuade it to take some political risks.

Obama's electoral coalition is a different story. It's usually described as a combination of African Americans, upscale whites, and the young—hardly natural allies. What's more, other elements of the classic liberal coalition (labor, for example) have been late, and sometimes lukewarm Obama supporters; the abortion rights group naral's endorsement of him, even though it came near the end of the primary season, caused massive blowback within the organization's own

Likewise, years later, when he was trying to persuade an isolationist American public to actively oppose the Nazi occupation of Europe, he gave a folksy speech comparing Lend-Lease with the loan of a garden hose to a neighbor whose house was on fire. It worked: With the public on board, Congress passed the enabling legislation and Britain survived long enough for America to join the war. Majorities may come and go, but FDR built a liberal legacy that outlasted him because, by the time he left office, the public believed in the New Deal and everything that went with it.

Now fast-forward 70 years and ask yourself, What is it going to take to pass serious climate change legislation? A liberal majority inNew Year's Eve is a special time for many, and for Craig Friesen and Matt Wiens, it was especially meaningful.

The Saskatoon couple was married on Dec. 31 in Osler, Sask., in the presence of family, friends and the church community.

The men's wedding marks a point in history for the Mennonite denomination in Canada. Friesen and Wiens are the first same-sex couple publicly married in a Canadian Mennonite church.

"Our relationship doesn't feel different, but our relationship with our community and with our faith has changed at least a little bit. It was really beautiful and freeing," Friesen said.

Craig Friesen and Matt Wiens were married on New Year's Eve. (Rachel Bergen/CBC News) Friesen and Wiens are hopeful other LGBT Mennonites will learn from their example that they don't have to


choose between their faith and their sexuality.

"Historically, the church has been oppressive to the queer community," Wiens said.

One step forward

For Wiens and Friesen, it was important to have a Mennonite wedding, because it was the faith the men grew up in.

"For us, a wedding is supposed to be a celebration of our commitment to each other in front of our faith communities, our other communities and God," Friesen said.

"It wouldn't feel right if we didn't get married in the Mennonite church," he added.

Mennonite Church Canada as a denomination isn't publicly welcoming of LGBT people or affirming of same-sex marriage. The denomination's confession of faith states that marriage is between a man and a woman for life.

Last year, however, the governing body in Saskatchewan announced that congregations could decideon their own whether or not they would be welcoming and the church would not take action against it. This was decided, in part, to keep some congregations from leaving the denomination.

Craig Friesen and Matt Wiens proposed to each other last year. (Rachel Bergen/CBC News) Friesen and Wiens attend Nutana Park Mennonite Church in Saskatoon, which has been publicly inclusive of the LGBT community for three years.

Co-pastors Anita Retzlaff and Patrick Preheim married the couple in the church Friesen grew up in, Osler Mennonite, combining both the church communities that mean so much to them.

It was a bold move for the two pastors, who said there are vocal Mennonite congregations across the country that don't agree with gay marriage.

'More work to do'

The newlyweds hope their wedding will inspire

Former Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf on Thursday accused Pakistan People’s Party leader Asif Ali Zardari of being involved in the assassination of both his wife Benazir Bhutto and her brother Murtaza Bhutto.

Musharraf’s claim, made in a video message, came three weeks after an anti-terrorism court declared him a fugitive in the Benazir Bhutto assassination case. The former army chief is currently in self-exile in Dubai and was allowed to leave the country in 2016 for medical treatment while awaiting trial in several cases. He was earlier formally charged for failing to provide security to Bhutto in the days before she was killed in a suicide attack in Rawalpindi on December 27, 2007.

Résumé :

A secluded school for magicians faces danger from a fantastical flying creature outside and sinister forces inside. While visiting Velma's sister Madelyn, who's enrolled at the Whirlen Merlin Magic Academy, the gang gets lots more than rabbit emerging from a hat. A greedy ice-cream mogul wants to close the place, a screaming banshee gives everyone the creeps and a mythological half-dragon, half-lion animal known as a gryphon seems all to real. Now the gang needs to learn enough tricks of the trade to uncover the secrets that will save the school.

The founder of Manichaeism was Manes (or Mani), a fanatic, who considered himself the Paraclete. He died in Persia in 277. Manes did not entirely reject Christianity, but since he held that its teaching was in several ways false or erroneous, he "supplemented" it by borrowing from other religions and spicing it with his own ideas. The fundamental doctrine of Manichaeism is the dualistic conception of the structure of the world. In other words, the predominant characteristic of this doctrine is a radical duality and opposition, as for example, between Light and Darkness and between Good and Evil. Light resides in knowledge, revelation, the soul, the heavens, repose and endurance, that is, the Good; whilst Darkness resides in ignorance, matter, the body


nine years. All his intellectual hopes and ideals, he deposited in Manichaeism, from which he now sought revelation and illumination. l3 The Manichaeans boasted that the Christian truths which formed part of their doctrine could be proved by reason. They seemed to promise Augustine a road to understanding God by the use of reason. After all, he was an intelligent person and a profound man. Besides, the subtle use of the 80 H. M. Seerri intellect appealed to him. He was indeed detennined to find the "open and pure Truth.'* His aversion to Sacred Scripture pleased the Manichaeans who themselves enjoyed mocking the Book.15 Intelligent, yet inexperienced; impatient, yet willing to make great strides in his impassionate odyssey for the Truth, Augustine was still perturbed by the genesis,existence and implications of evil in the world. In the Confessiones Augustine's questions on evil and its origins are recurring. So is his introspection on past events and experiences of his youth "according to the level of knowledge and spirituality he had gained at every step. "16 The Manichaeans did not try to put the problem of evil aside, a factor which certainly kept Augustine within their clutches. Indeeed by their furnishing a "corner" for evil in their myth-saturated universe,they made it a fundamental principle in their mode of thought. Augustine, at one time, came very close to accepting the fact that evil could influence God. In fact, it was, for Augustine, a "shocking and detestable profanity that the wedge of darkness sunders the very nature of God."17


Amidst the various Manichaean manuscripts, the Manichaean Psalmbook was certainly instrumental in setting Augustine's roots deep into Manichaean soil. Certain Psalms, besides being highly reminiscent of those in Sacred Scripture, served to bring the problem of evil back to the surface of Augustine's mind: "The radiance of God shines both on the evil and on the good. (Psalm 239) The evil body of the Enemy I have cast away from me, the abode of Darkness that is full of fear. (Psalm 247)"15 Part of the Manichaean religious experience for the Auditors included a satiation with light, this illumination aiding the individual to differentiate between the good residing in him (this being present in the soul) and the Augustine and the Problem of Evil 81 forces of evil lashing"steering off course" and "abandonment of direction". The knot becomes a tangle, he states metaphorically, and finally a hopeless tangle ensues. The degree to which evil has influenced and considerably altered the course of the good can be gauged from the degree of the nodositas attained. The Light (sic!) of Manes, the Paraclete in Augustine, started to flicker. 1.3 Augustine's Rejection of Manichaeism Even during the enthusiasm of the initial period with the Manichaeans, Augustine had felt perturbed and was never fully gratified by their teachings and by their "solutions" to the problem of evil, even though their dualistic explanation on the latter considerably affected him for a not insignificant span of time.30 His restive mind kept looking for an answer to the mysteries of the natural world


around him. Augustine criticizes Manes, making reference to his "sacrilegious presumption ... seeing he delivered things which not only he knew not, but which were falsified. "31 Augustine was also disconcerted by the void he encountered in the Manichaean philosophy. He states that the Manichaeans "tore everything down and were unable to construct anything in its place."32 The Manichaeans also showed themselves to be poor in debate with the Catholics. When confronted with Sacred Scripture, "the Manichaeans' Augustine and the Problem of Evil 83 answer whereto seemed to be weak."33 They shunned public debates and "falsified the Scriptures."34 Augustine was also scandalized by the immoral behaviour of certain members of the Manichaean Elect, who pretended to lead devout and austere lives. This hypocricy helped to build up furthergo of the intense drama of the original recording, the act's earnest delivery is to be commended and appreciated. In an effort to better connect with the kids of crossover radio, club icon Todd Terry has been enlisted to remix the song with a more forceful disco sound. It was a wise move that gives this single a fighting chance in drawing the positive attention of the pop masses."

The City of London Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit has received substantial new funding which secures its future until at least 2017. The £3 million cash boost, announced this morning by Minister for Intellectual Property Baroness Neville-Rolfe, will come from public funds. It's being billed as good news for the economy and bad news for pirates.

In a relatively short space of time City of London Police’s Intellectual Property Crime Unit has stamped its mark on the online piracy space in a way few other organizations have managed.

Since its official launch in September 2013 the unit has tackled online copyright infringement from a number of directions including arrests, domain seizures and advertising disruptions. PIPCU has shut down several sports streaming and ebook sites plus a large number of proxies.

Inthe best thing to happen to electronic music. People gather in a clean and present state of mind, no drugs and no alcohol. The people present are there to set an intention, or to work through their emotions via the medium of dance. These events allow people to drop their masks and experience music the way it was intended. Movement is a critical part of healing and dance has been an integral part of that from as far back as tribal times.

Intentional dance journeys allow us as individuals to express ourselves fully whilst releasing all judgement of one’s self and all others. It is the connection of body and soul helped along by the vibrations of music. Unfortunately dance music has been hijacked by drugs and ego, and


a night out has turned into a battle of egos rather than a journey into the music. This is where intentional dance journeys re-connect people with their own power to be who they are, in a safe and supportive environment.

So back to planned sets:

When I first became involved in the intentional dance journeys, I had a limited understanding of the necessary music for these events. The co-creator of the dance, used to prepare her own iTunes playlists and simply play the music right from her laptop connected to a speaker. Upon finding a DJ, the journey became more flowing and those dancing were able to fully immerse themselves into the music, with no breaks.

The co-creator had a true connection with the music and could foresee the direction inand within a few minutes both Dickerson and Barbutti had been Indicted.
The Indictments were returned to Jus¬ tice Cropsey and Dickerson and Bar¬ butti were arraigned at once.
Court Clerk Daniel Sealey railed Dickerson to the bar, announcing that he had been indicted for perjury, and askihg him how he would plead. Dick¬ erson mumbled something that could not bo heard ten feet away, and the court advised him that he might fleod not guilty for the present. He did .so and his ball was flxBd at ISOOO.
In the meantlmfe, Barbutti, who had known that his case yms being, consid¬ ered by the Orand Jury, came into, the cotirt room. The same procedure was gone through in relation to him, and he replied to Clerk Sealey, saying:
"I plead not


guilty, and ask the privilege of changing my plea later."
Justice Cropsey assented, and flxed Barbuttl's ball at ISOOO also. Barbutti Seemed on the verge of collapse, and sank into a chair close by, with his head butled in his hand. He was a de¬ jected flgure, and was much changed from tiie debonair, dapper witness he had once been.
District Attorney Weeks asked the court to set May 33 as the day for trial of Dickerson and Barbutti, and the Judge agreed.
The Orand Jury vas sent borne to reappear Tuesday, when additional In¬ vestigations in the deals In stolen motor vehicles in Nassau County will be made. Dickerson's Story
Dickerson's story of bow the per* Jury was "framed" is that he met Plant in the Mtreet. It is said thatto be July 2S. The correct date Is May 2S.

New York. May 14.—Army Patrol Boat No. 4&, dn oil-burner, anciiored atongside of Army Pier No. &, Hoboken. blew up today.
First reports received by the police said that two, or possibly three mem bers of the crew were missing. Two of the men were said to have been .seen In the cabin wreathed in flames.
One man was rescued from the burn¬ ing deck, and two oTherA were pulled out of the water, where they were blown by the force of the explosion.

At the second trial of Plant, Dicker¬ .son was not to be found, although the men of District Attorney Charles R. Weeks' force had him "shadowed" and could have produced him.
After Dickerson's testimony at the flrst trial. District Attorney Weeks was not satisfled that he was telling the truth, and he started a little private in¬ vestigation to determine the kind of man the witness might be.
Just what was uncovered, the District Attorney refuses to state, but last Sat¬ urday Dickerson heard he was being in¬ vestigated, and his conscience made a coward of him. He again sought cover.
^bout that tlmo Assistant District Attorney K. N. Edwards heard things tbat causeO him to act promptly. He went toLynbrook, borrowed a roan's house as the place to which he could bring bis man, and then sent for Dick¬ erson.
Confronted with the affllstant district attorney, Dickerson's nerve wavered. He was left to think over a cliance to make a confession that he had per¬ jured himself and flnally, on the advice of a good friend, he did admit that he had lied In his testimony at the flnit Plant trial.
With this statement Assistant District Attorney Bkiwards took Dickerson la his car and dashed off for Port Washington, the home of District AMgfbmy Weeks. There, in a confession thkt lasted many tiours, and which was not oa&oluded be¬ fore S o'clock Sunday momlpg. Dicker- son told how he had Jerjyred himself on tbe trial of Plant and signed

Rockville Centre, May 13.—Friday the thirteenth was an unlucky day for Ijarry Waterman, chief of the Rockville Centre Flre Department. He had been expected a visit from "Bill" Powers, chief of the Hemp.stead Fire Depart¬ ment, since I.Arry and his "body guard" slipped over to Hempstead two weeks ago and timed the efflclency of that de¬ partment, l^rry went to Hempstead last night to visit Chief Powers.
"Is Mr. Powers at home?" asked Chief Waterman, in a way that Indi¬ cated ho was not In a hurry.
"Wliy, he's gone to Rockville Con¬ tre," was tho reply.

]g/MJe the flrst apparatus made the trip in three and three-quarters min- utak after the flrst sound of nine counts, the last apparatus did not ar¬ rive imtil twelve minutes after. This compares with Henip-stead's time of four minutes for the whole deportment.

Kockville Centre Has a Handicap
Ex-Chief T. A. Berg of Hempstead, commenting on the lapse of time in getting to the .station, .said that one of the greatest handicaps of the firemen yfam the automobiles which raced to the statFon and impeded the progress of the apparatus. It .seemed remark¬ able, he said, that the trucks got through without accident. One driver, he noticed, swerved from side to side, picked his way among the automobiles,

Confronted with the affllstant district attorney, Dickerson's nerve wavered. He was left to think


over a cliance to make a confession that he had per¬ jured himself and flnally, on the advice of a good friend, he did admit that he had lied In his testimony at the flnit Plant trial.

Assisting theit, the international community will find such a denial unacceptable. For instance, when the Houthis target locations in Saudi Arabia or Hamas attacks targets in Israel, the responsibility will be placed directly on the shoulders of the Islamic Republic — and it will be Iranian citizens who will ultimately pay the cost.

It is quite obvious that all actions taken by these groups might not always correspond to the wishes and the interests of the Islamic Republic. For quite some time Hamas was in conflict with the Islamic Republic because Hamas opposed the government of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and, as a result, the Iranian regime withdrew its financial and political support for Hamas. Now, in a similar situation, if Hamas acted in a way that would have


been considered criminal, Iran would suffer the consequences.

For some time now senior officials of the Islamic Republic have been clear about their relations with the Lebanese Hezbollah and say publicly that they support the group in terms of financing, training and logistics. As early as 2016, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah confirmed this. "We are open about the fact that Hezbollah's budget, its income, its expenses, everything it eats and drinks, its weapons and rockets, come from the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said in a speech. “As long as Iran has money, we will have money." Hamas is in a similar position and states that it is dependent on the Iranian regime.

As a result of Revolutionary Guards activity in the region, in 2019 the Iranian government lostits immunity in the United States. But long before the Iranian regime and Hezbollah publicly confirmed their close ties in terms of finance, training and the provision of military equipment, American courts had ruled against the Islamic Republic in dozen of complaints brought against the Iranian government for killing and inflicting irreparable physical and psychological harm on US citizens. The Iranian government was found to be explicitly responsible for actions committed by the Lebanese Hezbollah and Hamas and was sentenced and ordered to pay damages. Now, however, with the release of the photograph of the commander of the Revolutionary Guards’ Aerospace Force, the situation might even get worse.

More than $100 Billion in Damages

As of now, according to the US Department of Justice, the amount of damages that Iran


must pay has surpassed $100 billion and the ruling by the courts allows the victims to confiscate Iranian assets as payment for damages. Up to this moment these lawsuits have been linked only to action taken by the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Palestinian Hamas and the Islamic Republic itself. However, now that the regime has also accepted responsibility for action taken by the Yemeni Houthis and by Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces, it has become easier for victims of these actions to file lawsuits against the Iranian government. In August 2019, for the first time, a United States court ruled that the Islamic Republic can be held accountable for the activities of the Houthis. A federal court in New York ruled that US citizens would be entitled to compensation forlosses they had suffered as a result of operations carried out by the Houthis.

A similar situation arises when it comes to the Fatemiyoun and Zeinabyoun brigades. The Revolutionary Guards established both groups, though they are directly commanded by Afghan and Pakistani commanders following orders from the Guards. There have been many reports that Afghan refugees in Iran and Pakistan have been forced or fooled into joining these brigades and, by some estimates, close to 2,000 of them have been killed in Syria.

On January 5, Belquis Roshan, a member of the Afghan parliament, called the forcible recruitment of Afghans by the Revolutionary Guards and their deaths in Syria a “crime” [Persian link]. She said that that General Soleimani had committed numerous crimes in Afghanistan and was responsible for the

Damon Gough, of the woolly hat and the moody temperament, of the reputation that meanders all over the shop, sometimes ending up in the shop window and sometimes just settling for a while on a dusty shelf at the back, and the look in his eyes that suggests he means business and also a certain amount of mischief, who is known, when and where he is known, to those that know him, but not too closely, as Badly Drawn Boy, appears in the Showing Off... studios one afternoon. He's appeared to chat about what it has meant for a decade or so to be so badly drawn, and to sing a song from his 2000


Mercury Prize winning album The Hour of Bewilderbeast, the kind of scruffily enlightened record that can easily be someone's favourite, and one from what will be his newest album, Is There Nothing We Could Do? (which developed out of the soundtrack to Caroline Aherne and Jeff Pope's new TV film The Fattest Man in Britain). The one, Bewilderbeast, that set him on his way, 30 but boyish, wise and sweetly foolish, and the other, Nothing, that might help him work out where he now is, now that he is well on his way, 40, still boyish, with added wisdom, and still the foolishness, which is a form of playfulness, and yet seriousness, which helps make his songs work when they do and not when they don't.

That's 10 yearsbetween one album and the other, and 10 years of his life, which has passed by, he suggests, just like that, even as it has included many many moments of 'just like that', as one moment becomes another, and he ages, and his life changes, but sort of stays the same, and he hangs on to his hat. Albums have been released, projects pursued, concerts given, confessions unravelled, delays enacted, greeted with a mixture of continued, indulgent admiration, a fair amount of indifference and annoyance, and the general sense that he is both well known and sort of forgotten. A gap in the release of recorded music for about three years has, on the quiet, intensified a vague feeling, never quite made concrete, because elsewhere life was racing


– but, fair game, he sort of does represent, in his own unrepresentative way, the decade, in a nice ordered way that can take us through what we are now knowing as the noughties. He also has his own experiences with the ups and downs and ins and outs of minor fame – he is discovered, adored, rewarded, and then soon finds himself verging on being discarded as others arrive to challenge his position, seduce his audience and steal his plumped-up slightly ramshackle troubadour throne.

He began the noughties by becoming, in the standard overnight way that didn't really mean it happened overnight, it was just a nice part of the story to explain it that way, a success, as the winsome and winning Badly Drawn Boy, and heORLANDO, Fla. – After just two seasons, Orlando City will say goodbye to Camping World Stadium (f.k.a. the Citrus Bowl) on Sunday, with their final game at the venue, against D.C. United (4 p.m. ET, MLS LIVE) ahead of opening their own purpose-built stadium in 2017.

The Lions managed to pack a huge amount of excitement and emotion into their two-year tenure. Here are the top 10 memorable moments from their stay at the iconic Orlando venue.

10

100, And Counting: Last-minute dramatics have been an Orlando specialty in 2016, but the 100th minute? That was the time on the clock when Brazilian star Kaká – who else? – stepped up to convert a game-winning penalty in the thrilling 3-2 win over Toronto on June 25. In many ways it summed


Galaxy. After scoring, the great Brazilian ran to the bench to don a No.18 Molino shirt, and he proudly paraded it for the 40,000 crowd, who went suitably nuts.

7

Newcomers Wreck Reigning Champs, Redux: If Orlando had a signature victory in 2016, it arrived on April 3 when visiting Portland ran into a City buzzsaw and were routed 4-1. It was the second successive year the reigning MLS Cup champions rolled into town and were completely out-played in front of a raucous and appreciative crowd, highlighted by a Brek Shea thunderbolt that lit up the stadium.

6

Newcomers Wreck Reigning Champs, Original: City were still without a home win (and Molino – see No. 8) when they entertained the Galaxy in mid-May and served up a stunning performance in front ofmoment that solidified the fans’ devotion to original head coach Adrian Heath arrived against New York Red Bulls on July 18 last year. "Inchy" was furious at a series of decisions – including a red card for Larin that was later rescinded – and was sent packing for his protests in the 74th minute. As supporters cheered him off, he turned to the stadium with a double arm pump – and brought everyone to their feet in lung-roaring approval.

3

Playoff Fervor: Orlando hasn’t had a playoff game to date, but the final home match of 2015 came close, a showdown with New York City that the team had to have to stay alive. A whopping 43,179 – the club’s second-highest attendance of the year – turned out and ensured


a suitably strident backdrop for a thrilling game that saw the Lions hit back from 1-0 down to win with a brace from undoubted Rookie of the Year Larin.

2

Pulse Victims Honored: The horror of the Pulse Nightclub killings was still fresh in the Orlando air on June 18 when City played San Jose. It turned into one of the most poignant and emotional tributes in the aftermath of the national tragedy. The team became the focus for a city-wide outpouring of grief and salutations for the victims, including special pre-game ceremonies and a stoppage of play in the 49th minute. A country wept for all involved.

Bowled Over: The top moment for the Lions’ Citrus Bowl/Camping World Stadium tenure could only be the original Fill The Bowl game onMarch 8, 2015, Orlando’s league opener and the hugely emotional realization of an eight-year odyssey to reach Major League level. It felt like the whole city turned out to support their team and the record 62,510 debut crowd made it an “I was there” memory to crown them all, a sporting symphony in purple.


there is much interest in using the Western Hemisphere information to better understand how fall armyworm is moving in the Eastern Hemisphere and its eventual distribution at equilibrium. Both will be largely determined by seasonal wind patterns, regional and local environmental conditions, and the availability of host plants, particularly corn. With respect to climate, the situation in Africa will likely reflect that of South America more than North America.

The northern portion of South America has not been studied using our suite of markers yet represents a potentially important region for understanding fall armyworm migration patterns.

A Nebraska state senator has resigned amid a political row sparked by a photo he posted on Twitter mocking women protesting against Donald Trump.

Other politicians around the country have faced criticism over social media postings about Saturday's women's rights protests.

Indiana Republican state Senator Jack Sandlin shared a meme on Sunday showing women marching through Washington.

It included the caption: "In one day, Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years" - referencing the former first lady's fitness campaigns.

In a follow-up post, he denied having posted the image, implying that he had been the victim of hacking.

President Trump was criticised during his election campaign for implying that the women who had accused him of sexual assault were too unattractive for him.House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday that President Trump must apologize for "disgraceful and incendiary" claims that former President Obama wiretapped him last year.

Pelosi said in a statement that FBI Director James Comey's testimony earlier in the day "put the last nail into President Trump’s mendacious wiretapping claims.”

"President Trump owes President Obama and the American people an apology for his disgraceful and incendiary fabrications,” Pelosi added.

Comey told a House panel the Department of Justice has “no information" supporting Trump’s unverified claim from earlier this month. The FBI director also confirmed the bureau is probing Russian attempts to meddle in the 2016 race, including any ties between Moscow and Trump campaign officials.

Pelosi added that Trump "has been desperate to distract attention from the FBI investigation into the

immunization programme remained a priority in the national policy agenda. It was also reported that a diverse and inclusive network of stakeholders from governmental and non-governmental agencies, having past immunization partnership experience and assigned clear roles and responsibilities, was invaluable to a GAVI HPV vaccine application process in Uganda ([@czaa017-B45]). Apart from the national level, the role of governance structures and processes at the health facility level was also identified as critical to HPV immunization programmes. In a study that assessed how HPV vaccine introduction impacted on the Rwandan health system, it was reported that extensive planning and supervision at the health facility level contributed to the successful integration of the HPV vaccine into the NIP ([@czaa017-B92]).

"Brumby then used his right hand, which was holding the handgun, in an attempt to remove the casing. While doing so, he inadvertently pointed the firearm directly behind him and accidently fired," the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The round struck Stephen. who was rushed to an area hospital, but he could not be saved.

Er:YAG laser versus Blue Peel in the treatment of photoaging hands.
This study aims at comparing the effects of Er:YAG laser and Blue Peel on the treatment of photoaged hands. The face and hands are constantly being exposed to sunlight, which causes early skin aging and damage. Currently, there are many studies showing how to deal with photoaging of the face; however, very few have investigated treatment of photoaging of the hands, whose skin properties differ from the face. We studied the effects (edema, erythema, temperature, reepithelialization) of laser and Blue Peel on the hands of 22 patients. The follow-up was 3 months. Edema, erythema, and temperature were more intense in the Er:YAG group during the early postoperative days, but those clinical parameters became similar to the ones observedA day after she was swept to power for a second time, Chile's president-elect Michelle Bachelet is promising major social changes.

and tricolour tail clade composed of species from South America, and a second clade dating to the Middle‐Late‐ Miocene with monadal and bicolour tails widely distributed from North to South America. The divergence between clades dates to the Oligocene and suggests an ancient pre‐isthmus divergence supporting the arrival of the triadal clade into South America, before the connection between Central and South America was established. We find the two coral snakes present in the West Indies, M. diutius and M. circinalis, belong to the triadal and monadal clades, respectively. Guyana and Trinidad Micrurus diutius share the same haplotypes suggesting a Late Pleistocene–Holocene vicariance when sea level rises separated Trinidad from the mainland.

But before that happens, the company hopes to have a chip validated conflict-free for tantalum by the end of 2012. The goal is part of a broader effort to reduce its environmental footprint by 2020, as outlined in the report.

a swap and which players might be available in the market.

For each player, I've tried to identify at least one trade candidate that would make sense. I've tried to take each team's trade history and particular style into account. I'll begin with one of the league's most promising young defenders before working over to the offensive side of the ball:

Jump to a player:

CB Artie Burns | WR Stefon Diggs

RB Kenyan Drake | RB Melvin Gordon

WR A.J. Green | CB Trumaine Johnson

OL Billy Price | CB Jalen Ramsey

WR Emmanuel Sanders | OT Trent Williams

Let's start with the market's most eligible player. The Jaguars have so far resisted trade talks for their star cornerback, who requested a trade after Week 3. The two-time Pro Bowler initially missed practice with anillness and then to witness the birth of his child, but he has officially missed games against the Broncos and Panthers with a back injury.

Owner Shahid Khan has publicly said he doesn't want to trade Ramsey. The team has supported Ramsey over the past two weeks, but this is also an organization run by Tom Coughlin. Before the events of the past few weeks, Ramsey famously showed up to training camp in an armored truck with a hype man insisting the Florida State product was about to get a new deal. Personally, I found it wildly entertaining. I'm not sure Coughlin felt the same way.

The Jaguars hold most of the cards here, at least for now. Ramsey is still in the fourth year of his rookie deal. Jacksonville


Jaguars for Ramsey and a 2022 fourth-round pick (conditional)

If the Jaguars think they have a shot at competing for the AFC South and don't want to give up a key talent for the remainder of 2019, there's an interesting possibility with the Rams. It's fair to say that Peters, once an All-Pro with the Chiefs, has never really found his comfort level in L.A. He struggled mightily for stretches in 2018 before eventually improving, but he has been a problem again in 2019. For one, he was the responsible party on the 67-yard Mike Evans touchdown in Week 4.

Peters is in his fifth-year option, and the Rams might not be in a place in which they want to extend his contract. Here's where they could get creative. Inrecent years, the Rams have been aggressive about trading draft picks to acquire young talent on rookie deals in advance of giving those players extensions. One of those players was Peters, who was eventually accompanied to town by Brandin Cooks and former Jaguars end Dante Fowler. Trading for Ramsey would follow that strategy, assuming it hasn't changed after the Rams extended Jared Goff this summer. Both Peters and fellow starting corner Aqib Talib are free agents after the season.

The Jaguars would get a first- and second-round pick for Ramsey and what amounts to a season-long audition for Peters, whom the team could insert in the lineup as a replacement. The Jaguars could extend the audition by franchising Peters in 2020, which is why the 2022 picks come into


play. If the Jags find that Peters is a long-term solution and he plays at least one game for the team in 2021, the conditional picks on both sides don't transfer. If the Jags move on from Peters before the 2021 season, though, the Rams will swap their 2022 second-rounder with the Jags' fourth-round pick.

Speaking of Rams cornerbacks, it's hard to recall a free-agent signing that has gone worse than the Johnson deal in New York. Signed by a now-deposed Jets front office last offseason, Johnson was disappointing in his debut season in New York and was benched after the Week 1 loss to the Bills this season. He played just 12 defensive snaps over the ensuing two games, and while he was restored to the lineup Sunday,is arguably the most aggressive and creative general manager in the league when it comes to trades, though, and taking a flier on Johnson without having to give up anything more than a future seventh-round pick would give the Eagles another option as they try to find cornerback help. In fact, let's get to another viable Eagles deal ...

One of the many frustrating picks in the bottom half of the first round in 2016, Burns was benched during a brutal streak last September and has been buried on the Steelers' depth chart ever since. He has played just two defensive snaps through five games, and after the team declined his fifth-year option in May, it became clear that his professional future is away from Pittsburgh. Any team acquiring


for Sunday's loss to the Ravens, and his release before the November deadline seems inevitable. The Eagles could still very well deal a late-round pick to their in-state brethren for Burns, but I think there's a more logical deal with a team going nowhere ...

The trade: Miami Dolphins send QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and a 2020 seventh-round pick to the Steelers for Burns and a 2020 sixth-round pick

The Steelers are down to undrafted free agent Devlin Hodges at quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger went on injured reserve and Mason Rudolph suffered a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Ravens. Rudolph will likely be back soon, but the Steelers have already traded their first-round pick to the Dolphins to acquire Minkah Fitzpatrick. They're expecting to compete and have little to gainThe Packers also could come away with a compensatory pick for Drake after the season. While they have been active in free agency under Brian Gutekunst, the lofty raises coming to edge rushers Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith next year suggest that the Packers will be less active on the market in 2020. Drake could turn out to be a profitable rental for Green Bay.

Gordon is another running back who could make a quick return to the market, as his future with the Chargers remains in question. His holdout turned out to be a waste of time, as the Chargers didn't give in to his demands, while Austin Ekeler impressed as the primary back in Gordon's absence. In his 2019 debut Sunday, Gordon carried 12 times for 31


year against the Titans in Week 5. Allen's struggles against the Pats pointed out just how much Buffalo will need its running game and receivers to make an impact with the ball in their hands against top-level competition.

Buffalo has Frank Gore and rookie Devin Singletary in the backfield, but Gore is 36 and Singletary has missed the past three games with a hamstring injury. Can the Bills get by with that duo into January? Maybe. Gore and Singletary could still have viable roles in the offense even after adding Gordon, though, and the Bills could choose to re-sign the Chargers standout or go after a compensatory pick during the offseason.

Arguably the most notable player who could get traded this season, Green has yet to play after undergoing ankleI think there's a more logical fit for Green than New England, however ...

The trade: San Francisco 49ers trade a 2020 first-round pick and a 2021 second-round pick to the Bengals for Green and a 2020 second-round pick

The plan has always been for Kyle Shanahan to have a dominant wide receiver in San Francisco. For the majority of his career as a coordinator, he was able to funnel targets to his "X" receiver. In Houston, it was Andre Johnson. After two years in Washington, Shanahan and his father signed Pierre Garcon. Josh Gordon was supposed to be that guy in Cleveland, then Jones was the prototypical wideout for Shanahan in Atlanta. Shanahan signed Garcon


to join him in San Francisco, but injuries limited him to just 16 games over two seasons with the 49ers before the team declined his option in February.

While the 49ers are 3-0, they don't have much of an identity at wide receiver. No wideout has played more than 62% of the snaps for the 49ers this season, and Shanahan has given each of the five wide receivers on his roster meaningful playing time. There's nothing inherently wrong with that plan, but it's not how the offensive guru has approached his receiving corps in years past.

With the 49ers' playoff chances spiking from 30.8% before the season to 71.2% percent in advance of Monday night's game against the Browns, trading for Green with the hope he can make an impactDee Ford. It's also an upgrade for the Niners, as the Bengals are likely to finish with one of the juiciest second-round picks given their 0-5 start and the range of possibilities for the 49ers during the 2020 season. Cincinnati would get another first-round pick, which it could use to help move up for its new quarterback or to find that passer another weapon.

One of the most impressive comebacks of the year belongs to Sanders, who tore his Achilles in December and seemed unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. Instead, he came back during preseason and hasn't missed a beat. Despite playing in what might charitably be described as a conservative offense under Joe Flacco, the 32-year-old Sanders has 24 catches for 307


tackle, but he has already been ejected once and has 45 yards in penalties through four games. With Cleveland in prime position to win an injury-riddled AFC North, its biggest weakness remains along the offensive line. Trading for Williams would suddenly give Baker Mayfield a plus offensive tackle who should remain a standout for several years to come.

I'll sneak one more offensive lineman in here. Price hasn't lived up to expectations since the Bengals took him with the 21st pick of the 2018 draft. Expected to step in as the starting center, Price struggled during his rookie season and then failed to win a competition for the job in August, losing out to Trey Hopkins. Price has seen action instead at left guard behind Michael Jordan, but hedidn't play a single offensive snap against the Cardinals on Sunday and has played just 29.3% of Cincinnati's offensive snaps all season.

If anyone is fond of taking on talented reclamation projects along the offensive line, it's the Chiefs and offensive line coach Andy Heck. Kansas City made a similar trade in 2017 for Cam Erving, a first-round pick at center who failed to impress in Cleveland across multiple offensive line spots. He has impressed enough with the Chiefs to earn a contract extension, though he's stretched in his current role as the team's left tackle in place of the injured Eric Fisher.

The


he wanted to stay in Minnesota, though he did follow that comment with a wink.

The chances that the Vikings trade Diggs, at least during the regular season, are slim. He's a valuable player on a team that expects to contend for a Super Bowl. Minnesota has little help at wideout behind him, so if the Vikings traded the Maryland product, they would be down to Adam Thielen and the likes of Laquon Treadwell, Olabisi Johnson and Davion Davis starting across from him. No Vikings fan wants to see more Treadwell. Minnesota would play more 12 personnel without Diggs, but it would realistically need to get a wide receiver back as part of the deal.

play 0:55 Vikings not planning to trade Diggs Adam Schefter reports that Stefon Diggs willprojecting for him in Miami, he has unquestioned physical talent and is the sort of wideout who can make teams pay vertically for pushing a safety into the box when the Vikings use play-action. He also has no guaranteed money left on his deal after this season.

I can't imagine the Vikings taking anything less than a first-round pick as part of the deal. The Raiders have both their own first-rounder and the first-round pick they'll receive from the Bears as part of the Khalil Mack trade. The Raiders could hold on to the better of those two picks as part of this deal, though they'll swap their fourth-round pick with a sixth-rounder from the Dolphins to help pay the freight for getting Parker to Minnesota.

During fertilization in animals, a haploid egg nucleus fuses with a haploid sperm nucleus to restore the diploid genome. In most animals including mammals, echinoderms, and teleostei, the penetration of only one sperm into an egg is ensured at fertilization because the entry of two or more sperm is prevented by polyspermy block systems in these eggs. On the other hand, several animals such as birds, reptiles, and most urodele amphibians exhibit physiological polyspermy, in which the entry of several sperm into one egg is permitted. However, in these polyspermic eggs, only one sperm nucleus is involved in zygotic formation with a female nucleus, thereby avoiding syngamy with multiple sperm nuclei. In the chicken, 20-60 sperm are generally found within the egg cytoplasm at fertilization


Manchester United face a nervous wait over the knee injury that Eric Bailly suffered against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, with the centre-back limping off before the hour mark on his first Premier League start for nearly two months.

Bailly suffered a knee ligament injury in the defeat by Chelsea on 23 October, but dismissed fears that he would miss up to three months by returning well ahead of schedule to start the Europa League victory over Zorya Ludansk last week.

That prompted Jose Mourinho to restore the Ivory Coast international to his starting line-up for Wednesday’s 2-1 victory over Palace, but he went to ground during the first half in clear discomfort, and a second trip to the turf shortly after the break ended his day as he wastime this season would be a blow to Mourinho’s plans, although in his place both Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo have shown good form that included a clean sheet against Tottenham last weekend.

Another set of extreme positions I've seen relate to refusal to recognize the widely varying nature of content on the Web. Existing disability law, for example, might require installation of wheelchair ramps in places of “public accommodation,” but doesn't require them to be installed in everybody's houses. Likewise, I would expect an online form on a government Web site that is required to visit the United States to be usable by blind people, and likewise expect good alternative text for an image on a government Web site describing how a bill becomes law. Yet I would not expect a bunch of photos that John Smith shares with a few friends on a Web site to be required to have reasonable alternative text.

Week 3: San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (-14)

This marks the largest opening spread of the season, and one of four games in which Seattle is favored by double digits. The 49ers, along with the Cleveland Browns, are one of two teams that aren't favored in a game this season (San Francisco is a pick-em in three games). Last season, when these teams met in Seattle, the Seahawks won by 13 as a 14-point favorite, their fourth straight double-digit home win over San Francisco.

Week 2: San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers (-11.5)

The week before going to Seattle, the 49ers play on the


at least 10 in half of their home games in 2016. Last season, Seattle covered in three of the five games it closed as a double-digit favorite. Entering 2016, the Falcons have been a double-digit underdog four times since drafting Matt Ryan, covering in each game (0-4 SU).

Week 9: Buffalo Bills at Seattle Seahawks (-10)

This is just the second Monday Night Football game for the Bills in the last seven seasons, and once again they face a tough road test (they lost by 7 as a 7-point underdog last season at New England). If the Bills can pull the upset in Seattle, it would be their first win on MNF since they beat Dan Marino and the Dolphins in 1999.

Week 11: New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers (-10)

Forthe second straight season, the Panthers are a 10-point home favorite over the Saints. New Orleans was without Drew Brees in that game, and the 2016 line is based on the assumption he will play. If he plays and the line doesn't drop, it will mark the first time the Saints are a double-digit underdog in a regular season game with Brees.

Week 14: San Diego Chargers at Carolina Panthers (-10)

This will be the first time that the Chargers play at Carolina since 2004, when Drew Brees was their starting quarterback (San Diego won by 11 as a 3-point 'dog). Including that game, the underdog has won the last three meetings outright between these teams.

Week 15: Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks (-10)

As the Trump administration seeks to persuade English judges to extradite Julian Assange to the U.S. to stand trial on charges of violating the Espionage Act, it is difficult not to have conflicting reactions. Some of Assange's revelations have not only been odious but also dangerous. But trying him under the Espionage Act itself endangers reputable journalists as well and the ability of the public to be informed by them.

Assange has certainly engaged in appallingly disturbing conduct by publishing in WikiLeaks, of which he was a co-founder and which he controls, certain highly classified documents that had been illegally been made available to him in 2010 by former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.

Yet if Assange can be jailed for publishing such information, far more responsible journalistic endeavorsNew York Times, The Guardian, El Pais, Der Spiegel and Le Monde — issued a joint statement "deploring" and "condemning" the misconduct of Assange and WikiLeaks.

It should come as no surprise that similar misconduct by Assange and WikiLeaks continued well after the 2010-11 time period covered by the Assange indictment. According to indictments obtained by Special Counsel Robert Mueller of Russian GRU operatives with respect to their hacking of confidential documents from the Democratic National Committee in 2016, the Russians discussed with WikiLeaks the "release of the stolen documents and the timing of those releases ... to heighten their impact on the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

Two permanent sampling sites were selected at the two extremes of a rainfall gradient in natural forests of Quercus pyrenaica Willd. located in the Sierra de Gata (Salamanca Province, Spain). During 1991 and 1992, diurnal courses of transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (g(s)) and leaf water potential (Psi(l)) were studied at different levels in the tree canopy. Leaf water potential fell from a high value in the early morning to a minimum at midday and then increased again in the afternoon. Values of Psi(l) in the early morning and at midday were lower at Fuenteguinaldo (dry site) than at Navasfrías (wet site) and were related to soil water availability. Stomatal conductance


Waste management in the Irkutsk region, Siberia, Russia: An environmental assessment of alternative development scenarios.
The current waste management system, handling around 500,000 t of household, commercial, and institutional waste annually in the Irkutsk region, Siberia, is based on landfilling in an old landfill with no controls of leachate and gas. Life-cycle assessment modelling of the current system shows that it is a major load on the environment, while the simulation of seven alternative systems results in large savings in many impact categories. With respect to climate change, it is estimated that a saving of about 1200 kg CO2 equivalents is possible per year, per inhabitant, which is a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

For 18 years Jeff Halper has been on the front lines of the Israel-Palestine conflict, helping to rebuild Palestinian homes in the occupied territories demolished by Israel. As he prepares to step down as head of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), he is publishing a new book on Israel.

Halper’s main conclusion is disturbing. Israel, he says, is globalising Palestine.

The former anthropology professor’s wide-ranging research has forced him into an expertise he is not entirely comfortable with: the global arms industry.

Halper argues that Israel is cashing in – both financially and diplomatically – on systems of control it has developed in the occupied territories. It is exporting its know-how to global elites keen to protect their privileges from both external and internal challengers.

In a world supposedly miredparlay this usefulness into wider political and diplomatic support, says Halper, even as the international community grows exasperated by nearly 50 years of occupation. Such backing, including from much of the Arab world, often remains hidden from view.

US president Dwight Eisenhower’s grim warning from the 1950s that a rampant “military-industrial complex” was threatening to become the real power behind the façade of popular democracy needs updating, says Halper.

He describes the emergence of what he calls the MISSILE complex: full-spectrum dominance by the US and its allies through the joint activity of the military, internal security, surveillance, intelligence and law enforcement.

After decades of controlling Palestinians under occupation, he notes, Israel is unrivalled in all these spheres. It uses the occupied territories as a giant laboratory for developing and testing


new ideas, technology, tactics and weaponry.

An arms superpower

As we meet at his home in West Jerusalem, Halper is keen to stress that he is only sketching the outlines of the new US-led global pacification industry. He has entered largely uncharted waters. Journalists, analysts and academics have shied away from the necessary research, he claims, preferring to keep within their narrow specialisations.

Halper is interested in “big-picture” analysis, joining up the dots. And doing so has forced him to explore unfamiliar territory, reading up on key texts in security studies, poring over the works of terrorism experts, and meeting decorated generals.

Halper points out that Israel spends about 8 percent of its GDP a year on the military, about twice the per capita expenditure of the United States. Despite its size,three phases: operational preparations, the actual attack, and the outcome.

But Iraq – as well as Afghanistan before it – showed a fourth stage: the need for stabilisation and peace-keeping following regime change.

The pacification industry that has boomed post-9/11, Halper notes, is spreading back to the West. As the military takes on many of the duties of a police force in external wars like Iraq and Afghanistan, back home the police become ever more militarised. Police in Ferguson look indistinguishable from their compatriots in the US army in Iraq.

“What we are seeing is the rise of the human-security state – endless ‘war on terror’, the world in a permanent state of emergency. The traditional hard walls between the police and the military, between domestic and overseas intelligence agencies –


Gathering in Washington, representatives from four large Iranian minority groups urged the United States and the Western world to help them overthrow the Islamic regime in Tehran.

"The peaceful removal of this regime, which is the world's strongest supporter of terrorism, will help to stabilize the region, particularly in Iraq," said Mustafa Hejri, secretary-general of the Kurdish Democratic Party of Iran (IKDP), one of the groupstaking part in a conference here.

"To achieve this, the international community, particularly the West, must be united and speak with one voice. So far, the regime has gained the most from the differences in approach between Europe and America in dealing with Iran," he said. "They must redirect their support to the democratic opposition forces both inside and outside Iran."

The Komala Party was anotherIranian Kurdish group at the conference. The Diplomatic Mission of Southern Azerbaijan, whose representative Ali Riza Nazmi Afshar said was speaking on behalf of the Azeri Turks of Iran, the Baloochestan People's Party and the Ahwaz Human Rights Organization -- representing the Arab minority in the southwestern region of Khuzestan -- were also participating.

The one-day conference, held at a congressional building on Tuesday, was organized by two groups, the Kurdish National Congress of North America and the Kurdish American Committee for Democracy in Iran; a flag of the ill-fated Mahabad Kurdish Republic -- created in western Iran in 1946 and destroyed later that year -- was hanging in front of the speakers.

Accusing the Tehran administration of following nationalist Persian policies and persecuting ethnic minorities, all speakers called for
