What PJ residents can expect in 2009
Sheila Sri Priya
Petaling Jaya will become a disabled-friendly city.
PETALING JAYA: Residents can look forward to the new year because the city council has some interesting plans for them.
Among the good news:
- Residents have bigger say on approval of projects
The council's director of development and planning, Sharipah Marhaini Syed Ali said in the past, many development projects were approved without proper background checks.
Councillor Robert Tan said from now, proposals would be submitted to the council, followed by a public hearing held with the assistance of the residents' association.
"We are practising transparent governance. We table everything to the public and listen to their feedback. In the past, development projects would take place and residents end up issuing legal notices to the council later."
- Outdoor billboards revenue to benefit the community
Based on a statement from the council, "public land should not only be given to a small section of the business community rent-free. The public should be given equal rights to apply for temporary occupational licences for the sites. Therefore, the fairest mechanism is for the council or local authority to be given the TOL.
"The council will then rent out the sites and the proceeds will be utilised for the benefit of the public."
Councillor Derek Fernandez said the new ruling would benefit all rate-payers because commercial use of state land so far had not yielded revenue.
"The free use of the land was enjoyed by only a selected few (billboard owners)," he said.
The new higher TOL fees would enable the council to reduce the burden on rate-payers with the revenue channelled to better services and security for the public.
Fernandez said the duty of local government is to maximise the use of its assets and maximise its benefits to the public.
- PJ city will become disabled-friendly
The council is set to make the city's roads and other facilities more disabled-friendly.
The council will build 150 covered disabled car parks and better walkways, ramps and pedestrian crossings, especially from Jalan Gasing to Jalan Changai.
Councillor T. Anthony, who is disabled, said the upgrading works would meet international standards for facilities for the disabled.
There are more than 250,000 disabled people in the country and their mobility is hampered by unfriendly infrastructure and facilities.
- More crackdowns on traffic, parking and other offences in the city
The council will come down hard on all offenders.
Councillors Chan Chee Kong and Syed Abd Malik Syed A. Hamed said irresponsible parking by motorists must be curbed.
"We are coming down hard on errant motorists. They have to park properly or they will be fined," said Chan.
- City parks for adoption to encourage cleanliness and prevent vandalism
Parks for adoption is the idea thought up by the city council to encourage cleanliness and prevent vandalism in city parks.
There are 440 small parks in Petaling Jaya that can be adopted by residents' associations. Two of the three larger parks -- Taman Aman and Taman Bandaran -- have been adopted. However, Taman Jaya is not.
Council landscaping department director Zuraidah Sainan said the response has been encouraging and she was confident that all parks would be adopted soon.
She said RM2.6 million has been allocated for the upkeep of the parks.
"There are scheduled upgrading works for each park but because of the heavy use and vandalism, the council is wasting a lot of money on repair works."
- Poor residents will continue to enjoy free community bus rides and community clinics
The bus will operate around the PJ north (PJU) and PJ south (PJS) areas, with importance given to low-cost residential areas where most of the urban poor live.
This makes Petaling Jaya the first city in Selangor to provide a community bus service.
"If there is a good response, we may increase the number of buses, depending on our financial ability," said Datuk Bandar Datuk Roslan Sakiman.
At present, the two buses provided to cover five areas in PJU and 15 areas in PJS are operating between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday.
The council also recently bought a van to transport the disabled.
"All they (the disabled) need to do is call us at 03-79563544 ext 370 or 374 and tell us where they would like to go and our officers will pick them up and send them to their destination.
"We are aware that most are trapped at home and face difficulties in even getting to the hospital for their medical check-ups and emergencies. We are working towards making PJ a liveable city for all," said Roslan.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the compression of the median nerve as it runs through the carpal tunnel of the wrist. This compression causes tingling, burning, numbness or some combination of these on the palm side of the thumb and first three fingers, which may or may not be accompanied by wrist pain.
If left untreated, these symptoms progress gradually until the hand grows numb, the person loses sensitivity to heat and cold, the hand feels weaker or feels swollen even though no visible swelling exists. The sensation of a swollen hand is often a good indicator of a more severe case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Not all hand or wrist pain is caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Luckily, there are a few simple tests that a person can perform themselves to determine if their symptoms are caused by a compressed nerve in their wrist. Some of these tests are a three-question self-evaluation, a Tinel Test, a Phalen Test and a Hand Elevation Test.
The three physical tests are classified as "provocation tests" because the intent is to physically "provoke" the symptoms to temporarily appear. Because of the nature of these tests, performing more than one in very quick combination leads to false positives; the amount of specific manipulation of the median nerve in the wrist from the combined tests temporarily induces some the symptoms of CTS in people who don't actually have it.
3-Question Self-Evaluation
People trying to determine if they have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome should answer the following three questions:
1. Do at least two of my first four fingers tingle or feel numb?
2. Are these sensations stronger when I first wake up or at night than they are during the day?
3. Can I reduce these sensations by shaking or flicking my hand?
Those people who answer "yes" to two or more of the questions are likely to have CTS.
Phalen Test also called the Phalen Maneuver
To perform this test, the person puts their elbows on a table and puts the backs of their hands together, wrists bent and fingers pointing down. If numbness, pain or tingling develops in the fingers within a minute, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is probably present. The more quickly the symptoms appear the more severe and advance the syndrome is. A person should not remain in this position for longer than a minute as it creates false positives in people who don't actually have CTS.
Tinel Test
To perform this test, the person should tap lightly above the median nerve on one of their wrists with the index finger of the other hand. If this tapping causes symptoms like tingling or numbness, CTS is probably present.
Hand Elevation Test
In this test, the person lifts their hands over their head and holds them there for two minutes. If tingling or numbness develops during that time, CTS is probably present.
For anyone wondering if that pain in their hand is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the tests outlined above provide a quick and simple self-diagnosis. They take very little time and can be performed by nearly anyone. Armed with the information from these tests, a person can then decide if their discomfort is something they can remedy themselves or if they need to talk to a doctor.

LOOSEN UP, BIG BROTHERS! 1 " Grown-up boys in the cities of eastern Oklahoma ire contributing to a fund to send the little "newsies" and other red-blooded but ragged youngsters who can't afford a vacation themselves, to beautiful Camp Tahlequah for a two weeks' outing. Places have been reserved for a few Muskogee youngsters. You business men are asked to hark back to the days of your own boyhood, think what a vacation meant, and dig up the few dollars you will never miss to send some hard working little fellow away for a much needed rest and a few days of the life which is the due of every real American boy. l3oy Scouts are now at Camp tahlequah. Their outing will be ended in another week. Secretary Fenstermacher of the boys' division of the Y. M. C A. and others in charge have volunteered to remain remain and look after the poor boys. Railroad fare and all will only co9t $6 a head. Only $6 will make some little fellow supremely happy for two weeks. Can you loosen up and spare that amount for the best cause for which money can ever be expended? "The ole swimmin' hole" is calling to the kiddies and the sunfish are flashing sportively in the clear waters around Camp Tahlequah. It .is nature's challenge to boyhood come again. If you are willing to contribute $6, or any sum, no matter bow large or small, send it at once to th<« "Poor Boys' Vacation Fund, care of the Muskogee Times- Dcmocrat."

It's great tool, but maybe I don't know how, or such think is missing - how to remap color?
I can change saturation hue... but I can't change RGB values of probe. So I want make blue red let's say as example.
So finally I can't get finall colors I would like to have, it's always compromise.
Thanks for help
I might be wrong, but I don't think drastic color changes are a function of Camera Raw. Those kinds of changes require direct pixel manipulation, and that seems to be more of a function for Photoshop.
It is true, the DNG PE doesn't allow directly matrix editing. The type of color substitution you refer to would be easily accomplished using the color matrices, but DNG PE doesn't currently support that. (Software developers can write tools using DNG SDK to adjust the matrices in the profiles, though.)

Jessie Mary Halbert, CBE, BA(hon)1897 - 1966
Name Jessie Mary Halbert, CBE, BA(hon) Suffix CBE, BA(hon) Born 19 Oct 1897 Roma, Queensland, Australia Gender Female Education 1921 Moreton Bay Girls' High School, Lauriston Girls' School, Methodist Ladies' College (MLC) in Melbourne and the University of Melbourne. She got a BA with 1st class honours. At MLC she befriended Marjorie Vasey and later when her family moved to Kew, they were just around the corner from the Vasey family. Occupation 1940 Jessie was the Founder and President of the War Widows' Guild of Australia. During the war she was involved in the Australian Comforts Fund. In May 1940 she became Secretary of the AIF Women's Association, helping soldier's wives. She noted the plight of war widows and, a few days before becoming one herself, spoke with Alan about her work, which he supported. Following his death she sent a letter in Oct 1945 to all war widows in Victoria proposing the formation of a craft guild, using weaving to supplement their income. She was elected president of the War Widows' Craft Guild in Jan 1946. By 1947 there were Guilds in every state and so a federal organisation was formed. She then set out to get an increase in War Widows' pensions. Jessie clashed with both Claude Bernard, Minister for Repatriation and Ben Chifley, Prime Minister overSection 43 of the Repatriation Act. Next she focussed on improving housing, especially for elderly war widows.

© AFP / by Mike Smith | Members of a group of American Baptist Christian tourists stand at the Mount of Olives as they look towards Jerusalem's Old City and the Dome of the Rock on January 20, 2018
"Certainly this holds a lot of significance for people in that way. We believe Christ is going to return," Dunn, part of a group of around 50 American Southern Baptists visiting Jerusalem holy sites over the weekend, said before climbing back aboard a tour bus.
Trump's controversial declaration on December 6 will be back in the spotlight over the coming days with Vice President Mike Pence arriving Sunday night for talks with Israeli officials in Jerusalem.
Dunn and his fellow believers are key backers of Trump's move in the United States and part of the Christian evangelical community there that has become an important pillar of support for his Republican party.
Pence, who stood behind Trump as he made his Jerusalem announcement, is himself an evangelical Christian.
Dunn and others on the Jerusalem tour, planned before Trump's announcement, said they were pleased with his declaration because they consider it important to support Israel and affirm its claim that the entire city is its capital.
But there were also otherworldly considerations among the group.
Some evangelicals believe, based on interpretations of scripture, that firmly establishing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and establishing a new temple there could help lead to the second coming of Jesus.
Dunn and others on the trip said interpretations of Jerusalem's place in biblical prophecy vary too widely to provide a simple answer such as that one.
– 'A lot of mystery' –
Brett Burleson, a pastor at a church in Alabama, said "there's a lot of mystery to that, so I don't claim to know how it's all going to play out".
"We do recognise that this is a place where we believe the Lord Jesus himself will return and bring a peaceful end to human history," the 47-year-old said.
Jerusalem's status is perhaps the most sensitive issue in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Israel occupied and later annexed its eastern sector in the Six-Day War of 1967 in a move never recognised by the international community.
It sees the entire city as its capital, while the Palestinians view east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
Trump's declaration deeply angered the Palestinians, with president Mahmud Abbas cancelling plans to meet Pence during his visit, which had been set for late December before being postponed.
The declaration was partly the result of a long political debate in the United States, with a law passed calling for the embassy to be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 1995.
It however allowed presidents to sign a waiver every six months to prevent the embassy move for national security reasons.
Trump again signed the waiver when declaring Jerusalem Israel's capital last month, but stressed he intended to move the embassy.
He also said Jerusalem's final borders and status would have to be negotiated, but Palestinians were unconvinced.
– 'Probably not' –
David Parsons, vice president of the International Christian Embassy based in Jerusalem, said he helped draft an earlier version of the embassy legislation while working for a pro-Israel lobbying firm in the United States.
"We have a large, broad movement worldwide that supports Israel on various motivations," Parsons said of the primarily evangelical Christian embassy.
"Some are motivated by biblical prophecy, but there's a broad array of views on biblical prophecy."
Zalman Shoval, a former Israeli ambassador to the United States, said Sunday that Israel has long reached out to US Christian groups for support.
Specifically mentioning evangelicals, Shoval said "we may not agree with everything anybody says about the future of Israel or the future of the country."
Some evangelicals believe Jews would eventually have to convert to Christianity.
"But we must look at the present situation," he told journalists.
"The present situation is that there is a very important body of people in America who believe — honestly and genuinely believe — in the future of the Jewish people and its place in the Jewish country in Israel."
Lewis Richerson, 37, a pastor from Louisiana on the Jerusalem tour, may be among those he had in mind.
His support for Trump's declaration was "primarily political" since backing Israel in part helps "promote democracy and freedom around the world."
Richerson said of the declaration: "Is that some type of biblical prophecy? Probably not."
Continuing its protest of Trump's Jerusalem recognition, and fearing that riots may quiet down, terror group's Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar offers detailed instructions for violence
Hamas's Gaza chief Yahya Sinwar, in a rare televised address on Thursday, called for Friday to be a "red bloody day," following the day's United Nations vote against US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Sinwar called on "the people of Jerusalem, the West Bank, and the Palestinians everywhere, to spring into action on Friday so it will be a red bloody day for the occupation," he said in the speech, broadcast on Al-Aqsa Television.
"I call for turning Friday into a decisive day in the struggle of our people to bring down the decision of Trump," he added, speaking before a crowd of Gazan youth.
Amid fears in the terror group's ranks that violent Palestinian protests against Trump's December 6 announcement were fading, Sinwar gave specific instructions to would-be attackers in an explicit bid to fan the flames in the West Bank.
He urged Palestinians in the West Bank to head towards places of contact with IDF forces and to attack the soldiers. He also urged attacked against Israeli civilians living in the West Bank.
On Friday morning the terror group amplified Sinwar's instructions, telling supporters to head out to protests and rallies after Friday morning prayers. The organization specifically called on Palestinians in Bethlehem to gather "near the northern entrance of Bethlehem, and march towards the points of contact with the occupation," which would bring the protesters to the checkpoints leading to Jerusalem.
And in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem, it called for people to join a march "which will begin after Friday prayers in front of the new mosque."
Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in 2007, seeks to destroy Israel. It has been urging a new intifada since Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital on December 6, and has encouraged thousands of Gazans to confront Israeli troops at the Gaza border fence, where there have been several fatalities in recent weeks.
Trump's announcement earlier this month was followed by violent Palestinian protests in the West Bank and Gaza, but the protests subsided considerably after the first week, and Israeli officials believe there is little likelihood of a full-fledged wave of violence developing.
Sinwar also rejected the proposed US framework for a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians — though the Trump administration has yet to make such a framework public. He said that the deal would end the Palestinian struggle, and that the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital was the first step of the deal.
A week ago Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh called for every Friday henceforth to be a day of rage across Palestinian, Arab and Muslim lands until Trump rescinds his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
In his speech directed to Gaza's young men, Sinwar also admitted that the Palestinian reconciliation process is failing over a dispute about the future of the terror group's weapons.
"Whoever doesn't see that reconciliation is collapsing is blind," said Sinwar.
"Some people want reconciliation on Israeli and American terms, which means handing over weapons and the tunnels and rocket capabilities," he added.
An Egyptian-brokered agreement in early October originally set a December 1 deadline for the terror group to fully transfer power in the Gaza Strip back to the Palestinian Authority, which is dominated by PA President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah party, though that was later pushed back to December 10.
In Gaza, the situation has remained essentially unchanged despite the deadline, with Hamas police still patrolling the streets, while crippling electricity shortages endure.
Hamas claimed earlier in December that it had handed over control of all government ministries, but Fatah's top negotiator later said "obstacles" remained.
Since the start of this reconciliation process between rival Palestinian factions — several others have failed in the past — the question over the fate of Hamas's 25,000-strong military wing has been a thorny issue between the sides.
Abbas wants the PA to be in full control of all weapons and security in the Gaza Strip, but Hamas is refusing to give up its arsenal. Hamas, which seeks the destruction of Israel, has fought three wars with Israel since seizing power from Fatah in the enclave in 2007.
Abbas has also not yet lifted sanctions against Hamas, including cutting payments for electricity, further worsening an already severe power shortage in Gaza.
Both sides still publicly say they remain committed to the reconciliation.

AMMAN, Jordan — Iranian Ambassador to Jordan Mojtaba Ferdosipour has chosen the map of Palestine as a centerpiece for his office, along with a Dome of the Rock miniature. In an interview with Al-Monitor, Ferdosipour said he believes Palestine represents a compass for regional issues, all of which should point toward "one enemy, Israel."
"Yet," Ferdosipour said, "this compass has lost its bearings in recent years, after Arab governments replaced Israel with Iran as their enemy." He also asserted that many Arab peoples do not agree with their leaders in terms of discarding this compass and normalizing relations with Israel.
Iran "does not want to take control of the Arab capitals," he said, dismissing the Nov. 19 Arab League foreign ministers meeting, which concluded that Iran's missiles are threatening Arab capitals. The Arab League conclusion was in response to the Houthis launching ballistic missiles at Riyadh on Nov. 4. Ferdosipour denied allegations that Iran was supporting Houthis in Sanaa and supplying them with missiles, but on the other hand said Iran is proud of its support for Lebanese Hezbollah in confronting Israel.
Ferdosipour previously served as director of the Foreign Ministry's Middle East Department and as charge d'affaires in Amman. He also served in the latter capacity in Beirut prior to assuming his current post, in August 2014.
The ambassador said that rumors about his mandate coming to an end were simply that, adding that the Council of Ministers needs to approve any extension of his mandate.
Al-Monitor interviewed Ferdosipour Nov. 22 at his office in Amman and followed up by phone. A transcript of that interview, slightly edited for clarity, follows.
Al-Monitor: Do you expect the Sochi summit, which brought together Iran, Turkey and Russia on Nov. 22, to produce progress in the negotiations on the conflict in Syria?
Ferdosipour: The Sochi summit came against the backdrop of a previous agreementbetween Russia, Turkey and Iran to find solutions to the Syrian crisis, which established the course of the Astana negotiations. The Sochi summit follows the same course and aims to harvest the fruits of the efforts put into anti-terrorism operations, particularly in Abu Kamal and other areas plagued by terrorists and the Islamic State (IS). This is the beginning of a new chapter for the political solution and the start of joint negotiations between the Syrian government and the opposition.
Al-Monitor: Why were countries like the US, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which are actively involved in the Syrian crisis, absent from the Sochi summit?
Ferdosipour: The summit came after a tripartite agreement was reached [in December 2016] between Russia, Turkey and Iran in Moscow [to sponsor an agreement between the Syrian regime and the opposition]. If some parties were not present, this does not mean they are absent from the consensus. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to leaders from Egypt, the US and Saudi Arabia over the phone. Communication channels are always open between all parties when it comes to reaching political solutions after military operations.
Al-Monitor: Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri returned to Lebanon on Nov. 21 after announcing his resignation [as prime minister] from Saudi Arabia, accusing Iran of spreading violence in the region. However, reports suggested that Saudi Arabia had forced Hariri to resign after his rapprochement with Iran. What do you think about this?
Ferdosipour: The media highlighted the fact that Hariri's resignation was forced upon himby Saudi Arabia. What we heard during the resignation speech were either forced or politicized words. It is important for us to hear the right words without any kind of coercion.
It is our policy in Lebanon to communicate with all parties. When the senior adviser to the supreme leader on international affairs, Ali Akbar Velayati, last visited Lebanon, on Nov. 3, he held a meeting with Lebanese President Michel Aoun and Prime Minister Hariri at the presidential palace, during which many common issues were put forward. Hariri himself was even supportive of the Iranian ideas regarding a solution for the Syrian crisis. This seems to have upset some parties, and Hariri was indeed forced into resigning because of a political stance and not because of financial corruption, as some reported.
Over the past decades we have tried to keep our relationship with all parties in Lebanon flexible, and we have always believed that supporting security and stability in Lebanon can only be achieved by supporting all parties in the political arena, without leaving out any religion or sect, or else we would be making a big mistake.
Those who think that Hezbollah should be pushed out of the [Lebanese] political arena and marginalized are mistaken. We advise all regional parties to realize that maintaining Lebanon's security and stability can only happen if all concerned parties reach a single vision and cooperate to strengthen their relations. All foreign parties need to support this idea.
"Iran's presence and its support for the resistance in the region aim to maintain Arab security, threatened by the common enemy. We are all in the same boat when it comes to confronting the Israeli enemy."
Al-Monitor: How do you perceive the Arab League's position regarding Iran's missiles, how they pose a threat to Arab capitals and support terrorist groups?
Ferdosipour: This is neither accurate nor worthwhile. The Arab League meeting hinted at Iran wanting to occupy and control Arab capitals, but we completely reject all allegations regarding missiles. Iran does not support the Houthis and Ansar Allah in Sanaa. There is no way to reach Sanaa, and even if there were, Iran would only bring food to support the people of Yemen, but there is no outlet to deliver food and aid. So how were we supposed to give Ansar Allah large quantities of missiles?
Those missiles are locally manufactured by the Yemeni army, and Iran has nothing to do with them. Tittle-tattle about exporting Iranian ballistic missiles and weapons to Ansar Allah to strike Saudi Arabia is a lie.
The Yemeni crisis must be resolved through a political solution. The military solution is utterly unacceptable here. All Yemeni parties should hold negotiations supervised by the United Nations in order to resolve their internal problems. We have spoken to the UN secretary-general in this regard, and we have repeatedly declared initiatives for a cease-fire, humanitarian aid for Yemen and a joint political dialogue to legitimize the Yemeni government without interference from outside parties.
Al-Monitor: Let's go back to Hezbollah. Who would benefit from disbanding this party?
Ferdosipour: Israel would benefit the most. There is no doubt about it. We have heard Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah say that Hezbollah did not send weapons to any Arab country except to the Palestinians in Gaza to support them in their wars against the Israelis. He also stressed that his movement has never supported the Yemenis, but participated in the fight against terrorism in Syria, which comes in the context of maintaining Lebanon's security and stability, since IS made its way to the Lebanese border. Everyone agrees on the need to fight terrorism and eliminate IS and Jabhat al-Nusra, since both groups are on the UN's blacklist.
Al-Monitor: But there is a difference over the definition of terrorism. Is there anyone who fears the presence of Iranian forces and Shiite militias in Syria? How strong is the Iranian presence in Syria?
Ferdosipour: Iran has a legitimate presence in both Iraq and Syria. Iranian military advisers only intervene at the request of the legitimate regime and government. When the Iraqi and Syrian legitimate regimes tell us to leave, we will, no questions asked. We have proudly supported the Syrian and Iraqi armies in fighting terrorism, and we never took this issue lightly. Other parties were not quite honest in their actions. Unfortunately, whenever IS was besieged in the Syrian regions, the US would come in and safely move the group to other areas.
Al-Monitor: There are Jordanian and Arab concerns about a route connecting Tehran to Beirut through Iraq and Damascus. Is Iran really working on this route?
Ferdosipour: We have put a lot of money toward fighting the common enemy of the Arab Islamic world, Israel. Iran's presence and its support for the resistance in the region aim to maintain Arab security, threatened by the common enemy. We are all in the same boat when it comes to confronting the Israeli enemy. So why are there concerns about our presence? We have always insisted that our enemy is the Zionist entity, represented by the brutal occupation of Palestine.
We are not afraid to say that we support Hezbollah toward the liberation of Palestine, especially since Hezbollah succeeded in liberating Lebanese territories in the south in 2000 with Iranian support.
We are not ashamed of supporting Hezbollah in fighting Israel. Why does Iran need this route? To support Hezbollah in order to combat the Israeli occupation. We are proud of this because it does not target any Arab country or people, because we have always opposed the interference of foreign parties in Arab affairs.
Al-Monitor: We are seeing a rapprochement, albeit unpublicized, between Saudi Arabia and Israel. How do you view this?
Ferdosipour: Instead of [Arab countries] treating Israel as the enemy, Iran is taking the blow. Many peoples do not agree with their leaders in this regard. The decisions to normalize relations with the Israelis are made by governments and palaces and not by the people themselves.
Al-Monitor: Is this Israeli-Saudi rapprochement an attempt to confront Iran?
Ferdosipour: No, this is not true. Israel is afraid of going to war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. So how will it fight Iran? Most recently, the Israeli chief of staff, Gen. Gadi Eizenkot, said, on Nov. 16, that "Saudi Arabia will not nag us into a war with Iran and will not wage proxy wars." If Israel can't even attack Hezbollah and fears its capacities, how could it wage war on Iran? War will not stop at the border. It will extend beyond the settlements.
In the end, if Israel does not want to engage in a war with Iran, how can Saudi Arabia want otherwise? This is mere media buzz.
Al-Monitor: Jordanian-Iranian relations are not at their best currently. Has Iran tried to reopen communication channels with Jordan?
Ferdosipour: We do not beg to rebuild relations. When the doors to promote and consolidate economic relations open, for example, between Iran and Jordan, the Jordanian side will benefit the most. The Iranian market consists of 80 million people while the Jordanian market comprises about 9 million people. In addition, the quality provided by the industrial sector in Jordan does not compare with that available in Iran.
When I took office in 2014, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani asked me to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. It is necessary to move in this right direction, since Jordan's security is important for Iran's security and vice versa.
There should be joint political committees between the two parties. We honestly hope to strengthen our economic relations as well. After the fight against terrorism, we must focus on the stability of the region by establishing a joint economic committee, especially since [the region] is suffering under terrorism as well as intellectual and economic extremism. The financial and intellectual resources of terrorism must be drained, as much as we must fight poverty and unemployment by strengthening economic relations.
For instance, we should find a common railway. There are over 350 million Muslims in Central Asia and the Caucasus, along with Turkey and Iraq, which means there is half a billion people, 1 billion of whom will need transportation to perform the umrah and hajj. Iran has extended a railway to southern Iraq, and it can be connected to the holy city through the Tarbil or Aqaba crossings. This will help toward the problem of unemployment, as the railway will require a significant labor force.
There is also a second project that consists of an electrical line connecting Central Asia, the Caucasus, China and the Arab world, after which we can consider an oil and gas project, in order to eventually overcome all obstacles.
However, some countries are preventing the Jordanian government from having ties with Iran. I have information that the Jordanian government began economic cooperation by forming economic committees between Iraq and Jordan. In 2015, Iran and Jordan agreed to form joint economic committees, but after Saudi-Iranian ties went up in flames, the Saudi Embassy in Tehran was shut down, and the Jordanian ambassador to Tehran was summoned in 2016, the committees suspended their work.
Al-Monitor: Jordan fears the presence of Iranian forces and Hezbollah near the Jordanian border. How do you view this concern?
Ferdosipour: We have always stayed in touch with the Kingdom of Jordan, and we have supported it in Astana in order for it to become an observer member. The Jordanians attended the seven rounds of negotiations, and the issue of borders was on the table. Even when the tripartite agreement between Russia, the US and Jordan, began to reduce the escalation in southern Syria, we supported this idea. So I do not understand where such concerns might come from. We need to sit down and have a closed-door dialogue instead of allowing media rumors to influence us.
Al-Monitor: What is Iran's take on the US president's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to move the US Embassy there?
Ferdosipour: Iran strongly condemned Trump's Jerusalem move and announced that this decision violates all international conventions issued by the United Nations on Palestine and Jerusalem. As soon as the US decision was announced, thousands of people across Iran gathered in support of the Palestinian cause and of Jerusalem being the capital of Palestine, while denouncing the US policies.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit held in Turkey Dec. 13 that the US recognition proves to those who believe in the US' positive role to solve the Palestinian crisis that the US only thinks about the interests of the Zionist entity and does not respect the legitimate rights of the Palestinians.
Rouhani further stressed during the summit the importance of the Palestinian cause's return to the scene as a central issue in the region, especially after IS was defeated in Iraq and Syria. He also emphasized the need for the UN Security Council and General Assembly to reject Trump's decision.

Expectations of Palestinians living in Jerusalem are so low that nothing can shock them

A few hours after U.S. President Donald Trump's dramatic declaration of recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, two things happened in its Old City: City Hall turned on the spotlights and projected the American and Israelis flags on its ancient walls. Meanwhile, the lights illuminating the Al-Aqsa Mosque went black.
At first it appeared to be a planned protest, but it turned out that a power outage killed the light on the Dome of the Rock. Nonetheless, these two events perfectly captured the mood in the city: euphoria on the one hand, despair on the other.
Even WhatsApp, the messaging service that's popular among both Israelis and Palestinians, went silent. In East Jerusalem's Silwan neighborhood, some activists tried to put together a demonstration, but a message soon went out saying there would be a general strike. An hour and a half after the speech, rumors began to spread that there would be a march on the Temple Mount. Palestinian activists who spoke with Haaretz said that a response on the streets could be expected as early as Wednesday night, but it would likely be relatively restrained.
It seems that the expectations of Palestinians living in Jerusalem – from the international community, from the Arab world and even from the Palestinian leadership – are so low that nothing can shock them.
.However, as the blackout of Al-Aqsa hinted, there is a pervasive fear that this new diplomatic low could translate into a religious furor that would set the city ablaze.
Trump's comments regarding the need to maintain the status quo in Jerusalem did little to quell these concerns.
The area outside the Nablus Gate functions as East Jerusalem's public square: This is where journalists from around the world to talk to the Palestinian man on the street. On Wednesday, dozens of reporters convened there in the rain to talk to Palestinians and get their reaction to Trump's announcement. But the word on the street can be deceiving – as much in the eastern part of the city as in the western one. While Palestinian and Arab leaders spoke with one voice, those on Jerusalem's streets spoke with many. "Nothing will change, no one really cares, we want to live. Why would people make a mess and start an intifada, so their kids will die?" asked Ziad Fauzi, a merchant from the Old City, rhetorically. "What difference does it make if the embassy is here or in Tel Aviv or in Hebron?"
However, Ali Jedah, a Palestinian construction worker and former member of a Palestinian militant group, said, "things are about to blow, if not today, then tomorrow or the day after or the day after that. Trump's statement does not stand alone, it's one thing after another, from the soldiers to the humiliations, and all these things, they're accumulating and will blow up – and Jerusalem is the flash point."
Conversations with East Jerusalem residents ahead of Trump's speech gave the impression that most felt more like Fauzi and not Jedah. Trump's statement was perceived as irrelevant to their lives. For most Palestinians living in Jerusalem, Trump's words pose little to no threat, as they've got nothing left to lose: It's not as if before Trump delivered his speech, there were plans to set up a real Palestine with Al Quds, as Jerusalem is called in Arabic, as its capital. Over the years, despair at the prospect of a viable peace solution and the feeling of abandonment by the Palestinian leadership, Arab world and international community have become ingrained in the residents of East Jerusalem.
"If we stop and think, we know nothing will change, we will not really lose anything because we've already lost everything," said Haled Tayeb, a head of an organization in the western, or Jewish, side of the city. "People are too busy living their own lives, surviving. People have lost all hope and just don't care, they just want to get through the day."
Adnan Reit, a Fatah activist in the city, was quick to point out that despair works both ways: "This won't pass quietly because the Palestinians have been waiting for peace. There's an entire generation that is waiting for a long time, and now they've destroyed their hope and now they have nothing to lose. The occupation continues, the settlements continue, the demolitions continue – so what's do we have to fear?"

File Photo: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
ANKARA (AFP) – The status of Jerusalem is a "red line" for Muslims and could even prompt Turkey to cut ties with Israel, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Tuesday, as US President Donald Trump mulled whether to recognise the city as the Israeli capital.
Erdogan said Turkey, which currently holds the chairmanship of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), would immediately call a summit meeting of the pan-Islamic group if Trump went ahead with the move.
"Mr Trump! Jerusalem is a red line for Muslims," Erdogan said in a raucous televised speech to his ruling party that was greeted with chants and applause.
Erdogan said that if such a move was made to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, he would summon a summit of the OIC in Istanbul within five to 10 days "and we would set the entire Islamic world in motion".
As for Turkey, Erdogan said Ankara would "follow this struggle to the very last moment with determination and we could even go right up to cutting our diplomatic relations with Israel."
Last year, Turkey and Israel ended a rift triggered by Israel's deadly storming in 2010 of a Gaza-bound ship that left 10 Turkish activists dead and led to a downgrading of diplomatic ties.
The two sides have since stepped up cooperation in particular in energy but Erdogan, who regards himself a champion of the Palestinian cause, is still often bitterly critical of Israeli policy.
The United States is a strong supporter of a strong relationship between Turkey, the key Muslim member of NATO, and Israel, which is Washington's main ally in the Middle East.
Erdogan's comments came after the White House said Trump would miss a deadline to decide on shifting the embassy from Tel Aviv, after a frantic 48 hours of public warnings from allies and private phonecalls between world leaders.
Israel Fires Back at Turkey: Jerusalem Has Been the Jewish Capital for 3,000 Years
Amid diplomatic backlash over possible change in U.S. status to Jerusalem, top Israeli official says Jerusalem has been Israel's capital for 70 years, whether Erdogan recognizes it or not

A senior Israeli official responded to Turkey's threat to cut ties with Israel if the U.S. recognizes Jerusalem as its capital, saying that "Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital for 3,000 years and the capital of Israel for 70 years, whether [Turkish President] Erdogan recognizes it as such or not."
Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that the possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump will recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital "is a red line for Muslims." He warned that if such a decision is made it "will result in Turkey's cutting diplomatic ties with Israel."
Erdogan's comments echo a growing sentiment in the Arab world and international community who are warning the U.S. against the potential fallout from the move.
The Turkish premier's announcement follows comments by the diplomatic adviser of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who said that the Palestinian leadership would "stop contacts" with the U.S. if Trump follows through with the move.

U.S. officials have said a possible recognition might come this week, prompting Arab and Muslim backlash.
Abbas' aide Majdi Khaldi said on Tuesday the U.S. would lose credibility as a Mideast mediator if Trump goes ahead with the move.
Nabil Shaath, a senior Palestinian official, had even harsher words.
"So Mr. Trump came up with the slogan of the 'deal of the century,' or 'the mother of all transactions', as Saddam Hussein would say. But the mother of all the deals dies here on the rocks in Jerusalem if he says tomorrow that he recognizes a united Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," Shaath told reporters. "It removes any chance he will play a role in an agreement. There is no deal that begins with the destruction of the two-state solution."
According to the Palestinians, they will turn to other countries in the world to serve as mediators in the negotiations should Trump proceed with such a decision on Jeruasalem, like China, Russia or European countries.
"Everyone conveyed a message that it would destroy any chance for peace. We do not want to reach violence, but we cannot prevent violence. ISIS is recruiting people to defend Jerusalem," said Shaath.
Saudi Arabia also spoke out against the move, saying it hopes the U.S. will not recognize Jerusalem and warned such a decision would have serious implications, state news agency SPA reported on Tuesday.
"The recognition will have very serious implications and will be provocative to all Muslims' feelings," SPA said quoting an unnamed official source at the Saudi Foreign Ministry.
"The United States administration should take into account the negative implications of such a move and the Kingdom's hope not to take such a decision as this will affect the U.S. ability to continue its attempt of reaching a just solution for the Palestinian cause," the statement added.
On Monday, Saudi Arabia's Ambassador in Washington Prince Khalid bin Salman said any U.S. announcement on the status of Jerusalem before a final settlement is reached in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would hurt the peace process and heighten regional tensions.
"The kingdom's policy – has been – and remains in support of the Palestinian people, and this has been communicated to the U.S. administration," Prince Khalid said in a statement.
Twenty-five former Israeli ambassadors, academics and peace activists on Monday expressed their opposition to the move in a letter to Trump's Mideast peace envoy Jason Greenblatt.
The letter was written on behalf of The Policy Working Group, an organization of Israeli activists with diplomatic, academic, political and media backgrounds, including former Israeli diplomats such as Ilan Baruch, Alon Liel and Elie Barnavi. The group wrote Greenblatt that "we are deeply concerned by recent reports that President Trump is seriously considering the announcement of his decision to unilaterally recognize Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel."
"The status of Jerusalem, the city that houses the holy sites of the three monotheistic religions, lies at the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and must be determined within the context of resolving that conflict," the letter continued.
East Jerusalem, captured by Israel in 1967, is home to major Muslim, Christian and Jewish holy sites. The Palestinians seek it as a future capital, while Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its capital.
Arab League representatives were to discuss the Jerusalem controversy on Tuesday. The organization said on Monday that Trump's possible recognition would constitute "naked aggression" against Muslims and Arabs.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump may recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital has stirred opposition from U.S. and foreign officials who fear it could unleash violence.
Such a decision, which U.S. officials have said has not been finalized, would violate decades of U.S. policy not to take a stance on the fate of Jerusalem on the grounds that this was an issue Israelis and Palestinians should negotiate and decide.
If Trump made such a move, it could spark demonstrations or violence by Palestinians or by Muslims around the world, in part because of the sensitivity of the Jerusalem site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram al-Sharif.
The site includes the al Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam, and the golden Dome of the Rock. It was also the site of an ancient Jewish temple, the holiest place in Judaism.
Israel seized East Jerusalem, which includes the area, during a 1967 war. However, the Waqf, a Muslim religious body, manages the Islamic sites within the compound.
A senior U.S. official told Reuters last week that Trump was likely to make the announcement on Jerusalem's being Israel's capital on Wednesday, though his adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner on Sunday said no final decision had been made.
Kushner is leading Trump's efforts to restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, efforts that so far have shown little progress.
The White House said it would not take any action on Monday on whether to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, something that Trump had promised to do in his presidential campaign.
Trump is expected to sign the waiver, according to several U.S. officials. One U.S. official said Trump was likely to accompany the signing with an order for his aides to begin serious planning for an eventual embassy move, though it was unclear whether he would establish a strict timetable.
Two other U.S. officials said on condition of anonymity that news of the plan to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital had kicked up resistance from the State Department's Near Eastern Affairs bureau (NEA), which deals with the region.
"Senior (officials) in NEA and a number of ambassadors from the region expressed their deep concern about doing this," said one official, saying that the concerns focused on "security."
The State Department referred questions to the White House. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the concerns of U.S. and foreign officials about the possibility of recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
A fourth U.S. official said the consensus U.S. intelligence estimate on U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital was that it would risk triggering a backlash against Israel, and also potentially against U.S. interests in the Middle East.
The core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute include borders, the future of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the fate of Palestinian refugees and the status of Jerusalem.
The Palestinians seek to establish an independent state in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, territory captured in the 1967 Middle East war and the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by Islamist Hamas, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
U.S. allies voiced their misgivings about the United States unilaterally calling Jerusalem Israel's capital.
"Any U.S. announcement on the status of Jerusalem prior to a final settlement would have a detrimental impact on the peace process and would heighten tensions in the region," Prince Khalid bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, said in a statement.
French President Emmanuel Macron "expressed his concern over the possibility that the United States would unilaterally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel" during a phone call with Trump on Monday, Macron's office said after the two leaders spoke by telephone.
And in an unusually detailed statement published by Jordan's official news agency Petra, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi was quoted as having warned U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson against the move in a call on Sunday.
Safadi said such a move would "trigger anger across the Arab and Muslim world, fuel tension and jeopardize peace efforts," Petra reported.
The Palestine Liberation Organization's chief representative in Washington, Husam Zomlot, said a formal U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel would be the "kiss of death" to the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"Should such a step be taken it would have catastrophic consequences," Zomlot told Reuters.
A fifth U.S. official said concerns of Palestinian and other Arab leaders about endorsing Israel's claim to Jerusalem were being taken into account but no final decisions had been made.
Daniel Benjamin, a former U.S. counterterrorism official now at Dartmouth University, had a simple message: "This is playing with fire."

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel said on Thursday it had thwarted a plan by two Israeli Arabs with Islamic State sympathies to mount an attack at a contested Jerusalem holy site where a July gun ambush set off a wave of violence.
The Shin Bet security service described the suspects, aged 26 and 16, as residents of the same Israeli Arab town as three gunmen who on July 14 killed two police guards at a gate to Al-Aqsa mosque compound and were then shot dead.
Israel responded to that attack by briefly installing metal detectors outside the compound, angering Palestinians who saw that as a breach of decades-old access arrangements.
Four Palestinians were killed during ensuing confrontations with Israeli security forces and a Palestinian stabbed three Israeli settlers to death.
The two suspects taken into custody this month "support the Islamic State terrorist group's murderous ideology and the terrorist attack was meant to be carried out in expression of this", the Shin Bet said in its statement on Thursday.
It said they had two pistols. "They planned a gun attack at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem similar to what transpired on July 14," it said without elaborating.
Jews revere the site, where Al-Aqsa mosque and the golden Dome of the Rock now stand, as the location of their two ancient temples. Attempts by Jews to pray there, in violation of access arrangements, have been a source of tension with Muslims.
Israel captured East Jerusalem, including the Old City and the holy compound, in the 1967 Middle East war. It annexed the area in a move that has never been recognized internationally.

Hi All,
How do i know if my frame is Carbon or Aluminum ?(its 2004 frame)
I need to know because i will replace my frame with El ciclon/Blur LT or Epiphany and i want to check all weights.
Sorry i forgot to write - its 575
In 2004, there was no carbon chainstays option so.. it's all aluminum.
Riding pics & more
Posting Guidelines
Good choice on the Ciclon but Blur/Epi are simply not in the same league. Hopefully you know what geometry and ride characteristics you are after.
Your frame is an Aluminum frame if it's a 2004.
The new frame (with the same parts as the 575) will need to climb technical & fire road the same as the 575,but will be stiffer and more stable in the descents.(i ride aggresive XC).
after some checking i think the El Ciclon is the best.
I will be in the US in the 18-25/dec and i will buy a frame but i need to sell my 575 before.

Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that he doesn't know? A question like that indicates he is not worthy of owning a Yeti.
I'm just messin with ya, your frame is aluminum. But the aluminum 575 is still pretty light for what it is, and should be close to all the bikes you mentioned. Whats a half pound anyway?
Yes, it did seem to be a bit of a strange question. Presumably the OP bought the bike in the first place. And isn't it obviously aluminum or carbon just from a quick look? Or is Yeti in the strange habit of painting over carbon?
Like Ibis?
Actually that cool lookin carbon weave you see is purely cosmetic. Carbon in its natural state is a matte-ish black.

Medical Mission to Siberia - Dr. Brueck, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Fort Myers
On the 24th of June, Dr. Brueck, Board Certified cosmetic surgeon, departed for Siberia, Russia on a medical mission. We will offer daily entries from his journal over the coming days.
June 24th 2008
The adventure begins…… My time with Katie was special, how blessed I am to have such a special, loving wonderful daughter and two great sons. She gave me some pictures which were great so I could share them with the families and people I will meet on my journey into Russia and Siberia. To my surprise and bewilderment the plane actually took off on time at 3:30PM. The flight path was up the east coast over Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland and then over the top to Moscow. At 40,000 feet as I was looking down at the polar ice caps I could swear I saw ice forming on the polar ice caps, this would be amazing and I have to apologize to Al Gore that I think he is wrong. We actually landed about 30 minutes early, wow… modern technology. The flight was great; however I didn't get any sleep because of the excitement. The food was so-so but you don't travel half way around the world for gourmet food. The guy sitting next to me was from National Cash Register and was traveling to Moscow on a business deal. We had a great opportunity to share our families, our thoughts and our lives experiences. His oldest and only son is in a drug rehab center in Milwaukee so we exchanged addresses and I am going to give him some information about letters from dad and I certainly will have him in my prayers.
These journal entries will be posted to Dr. Brueck's web site at Beauty-by-Brueck. You may visit the web site ofr more information about Dr. Brueck and his cosmetic surgery practice in Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Florida.

Today, I got a text from my 21 year old. She scolded me for not writing my blog regularly. She said she checks it often for funny stories and she hasn't been getting enough. I did not realize I was the repository for funny stories. I guess I had better get myself in line and start doing my job. Thankfully Jonathon provided me with one during family prayer tonight. Lol.
It was Jonathon's turn to say the prayer. We all kneel together each night before we put the kids down and one of us says a prayer. Carly will sometimes still ask for help but Jono, he likes to do it himself and we never know what is going to come out of his mouth. His prayers are usually fast and simple. Tonight, it went something like this:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for our day. Please bless my sisters and Stephen. Bless Daddy at work tomorrow.
Please bless that Grandpa Carson can get better and Grandpa Dyer that he can come down and visit. In Jesus name, Amen
Now you might be wondering where the humor is in that. Well, Grandpa Dyer has been gone for 5 years (as of last Tuesday.) He just wants Heavenly Father to let him come visit for awhile. :)
The sweet part is that Jonathon was only 6 months old when Grandpa Dyer died but he misses him terribly. We have a picture of Jonathon being held by Grandpa Dyer. It's one of the few pictures we have of Grandpa Dyer where he's smiling, He was in a lot of pain his last several years. Anyway, Jonathon has a real connection to him and he misses him. But I will say we were a bit surprised with the request for a visit--though none of us would mind if it were granted!
