Brief Overview
Potassium carbonate, also known as potash has a chemical formula of K2CO3. It is a white salt that is soluble in water, and forms a strongly alkaline solution.
Manufacturing Process
Potassium carbonate is produced by the following methods of manufacture: (1) By electrolysis of potassium chloride followed by exposing the resultant potassium to carbon dioxide; (2) By treating a solution of potassium hydroxide with excess carbon dioxide to produce potassium carbonate; (3) By treating a solution of potassium hydroxide with carbon dioxide to produce potassium bicarbonate, which is then heated to yield potassium carbonate.
Agriculture Industry
It is used for synthetic ammonia decarbonylation.
Chemical Industry
It is used to prepare food additives such as potassium sorbate, monopotassium phosphate.
Potassium carbonate is commonly used in the production of soap.
It is used as a raw material to manufacture electro tube, TV kinescope, computer display.
Food Industry
It is used as a leavening agent in the food industry.
It is applied in optical glass to improve clarity, strength and refractive index.
It is used in the manufacturing of print ink, polyesters and explosives.
Driven by the idea of providing top-quality Potassium Carbonate for our customers, we at Tradeasia International aim to organize and offer top-notch Potassium Carbonate that widely used in several industries such as agriculture, detergent, electronics, food, glass and more.

Keep in mind that color can impact the way a room appears in many ways. Light colors may help brighten a darker space. Cool colors will recede visually from the eye, and make a small space appear bigger. Warm colors contract visually, which can make larger spaces appear smaller or more cozy. Combining cool and warm tones in one room - like with accent walls - can visually change the shape of a room, making rectangles look more like squares.
Specify whether the contractor or you will supply the paint. Check Consumer Reports' paint ratings: In its tests, some relatively inexpensive paints performed better than more expensive paints and cost $10 to $20 less per gallon. But keep in mind that most paints will resist cracking, peeling, mold and mildew. Who does the painting — and how well they do it — is more important than what's in the bucket.
Sorry it is difficult to trust almost anyone in the trades. It is easier to do the work myself and not deal with strangers in and around my house. When I have to hire someone I tell them up front that I'll be checking every detail, pay extra to purchase the materials myself, and if they don't want the job - well good! I always fine someone who will work with me as I pay a bonus for that.

You can count on beautiful, long-lasting results backed by our customer guarantee.
Deciding which paint to use has gotten much easier now that acrylic latexes have pushed oil-based paints almost to extinction. The acrylics offer superior performance (they don't harden with age, the way oils do, so they move and breathe without blistering), they don't mildew as readily, and they emit fewer VOCs, so they comply with new air-quality regulations. They also work over both oil- and water-based primers.
You can save a bundle by doing the labor yourself. The biggest DIY expense is paint. Other expenses include buying or renting supplies and equipment, like caulk, primer, brushes, rollers, tarps and ladders or scaffolding. Freeman advises applying paint with brushes, not a sprayer. "If you overspray all the window frames and overspray your shingles and your sidewalks and the brick on the front of the house, you do damage that is not easily fixed," he says.
In this Feb. 11, 2012, file photo, R. Lee Ermey gets a surprise hug from 4-year-old Bryant Teat, who ran up to Ermey and hugged him after Ermey signed an autograph in Hoover, Ala. Ermey, a former marine who made a career in Hollywood playing hard-nosed military men like Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket," has died. His longtime manager Bill Rogin says he died Sunday morning, April 15, 2018, from pneumonia-related complications. He was 74. Joe Songer, AL.com via AP
A painter's rod, or pole, can help you paint ceilings more quickly — no climbing up and down ladders required. And there's no need to stand directly underneath the area you are painting, so you won't catch every wayward splatter. A pole is also great for walls and floors. The pros were split over whether the 4- or 8-foot pole is best for everyday use, but they all agreed that a telescoping rod is the best bet.
We had a bad experience with an interior painter years ago, with the crux of the problem being him overcharging us at the end for "extra work" he didn't anticipate. One thing I'd strongly recommend is making sure it's in the contract that any additional work or growth work is estimated and communicated to the owner as soon as it is identified, otherwise the owner is not liable to pay it at the end.
Painting your house is one of those maintenance projects that most homeowners undertake at some point, whether it's the outside or the inside. With the exception of hardened DIY-types (you know who you are!), just about all homeowners will hire painters at some point—whether to prepare their home for moving in, or for a sale, or perhaps to kick off a remodel with a new color scheme.
HIGHLY recommend this company. We needed to hire someone to paint the interior of our home. The owner came over initially to give a quote and was very nice. Talked to him about his family and his business. He is very experienced and takes pride in doing great work. They are licensed and have workers compensation insurance, which was really important for us. The actual painters included Sandy, who was amazing and helped me select the right paint colors for our house. They finished on time and for the price that was quoted. The work itself is high quality and if we ever need something painted in the future, I will be using them again.
In this May 6, 1954, file photo, British athlete Roger Bannister breaks the tape to become the first man ever to break the four minute barrier in the mile at Iffly Field in Oxford, England. Bannister, the first runner to break the 4-minute barrier in the mile, has died. He was 88. Bannisters family said in a statement that he died peacefully on March 3, 2018, in Oxford "surrounded by his family who were as loved by him, as he was loved by them." AP
I turn away any job when the client refuses to pay anything up front. It sends a red flag. I also charge a scheduling fee which is non-refundable. I get 33 percent when I show up and begin work. Another percentage halfway through, and the balance upon completion after client is satisfied. There needs to be skin in the game for both parties as a measure of good faith. If you are dealing with a reputable company (did your due diligence, right?) why wouldn't you want to pay something as work progresses? We do this not only because we love to paint but we require cash flow to stay in business. There is not always 'money in the bank' as you suggest. It's tough these days. The suggestion buy 'Kim' 'Never pay a contractor a deposit' is nonsensical.
Lap marks are those ugly stripes caused by uneven layers of paint buildup. They occur when you roll over paint that's already partly dry. (In warm, dry conditions, latex paint can begin to stiffen in less than a minute!) The key to avoiding lap marks is to maintain a "wet edge," so each stroke of your roller overlaps the previous stroke before the paint can begin to dry.
If you have ornamental or colorful trees, shrubbery or floral selections around your home you should figure their colors into the color scheme selection that is made. These landscaping attributes will have an effect on how appealing the property is as a whole throughout the year. Homes that have a great deal of trees can make the property darker and cast shadows onto the home. Individuals will want to avoid darker colors for these situations.

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!
Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!
Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.
You can look at the voting record for these Representatives and it is clear they are not working on behalf of the American people!
You better be careful I will leave here and I'll go running to Israel."
"How do you like the idea of me recognising exactly what we're discussing?"
"I went – Bing! – it was done.
Trump is putting a foreign regime before the US!

"Thank you for responding to another important request of mine," he added.
If this capital crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain is our commitment to our aid and I don't even call it aid our cooperation with Israel.
That's fundamental to who we are
Of the $361 million received by Democratic politicians & liberal causes in 2018, 76% came from Jewish givers although they make up only 2.2% of Americas population.
It is our duty as Americans to ensure foreign & monetary influence is not controlling our policies!
We have failed, but we still have the opportunity to take back control from lobbyists
Statement by Haim Saban, "We love all 23 candidates. No, minus one. I profoundly dislike Bernie Sanders, and you can write it. So, 22 are great. One is a disaster zone."
Foreign Lobbyists writing US law!
It is time we made Congress fear the American people more than they fear the Israel lobby!
Unfortunately, Kennedy was assassinated, & instead of registering they had their tax exempt status backdated 10 years!
Where is the logic, we can boycott USA & American companies but not Israel¿?
This is what Anti-American Legislation looks like ⬇⬇⬇⬇
"The $38 billion package amounts to $7,230 per minute to Israel, or $120 per second. And that's before Israel advocates and ambitious politicians in our own country push it even higher."
For instance when Israel is caught spying on the White House, the president has 0 recourse
US Representatives just gave Israel the ability to supply our enemies with US arms!
Isreal has been known to steal US secrets for decades!
The new Act eliminates this requirement, putting Israeli economic interests before the US
S1 is just one of many bills!
Between 1974 and 1989, $16.4 billion in US military loans were converted to grants!
That is absolutely correct, and to make matters worse, Israel even sells American technology secrets to other countries including China!
"Well we can't put all these people in jail, we are taking about hundreds of people attacking the fence."
This is what our American tax dollars fund!
Al Jazeera did an undercover documentary showing how Israel influences US policies, Trump went to incredible efforts to suppress it.
AlJazerra never released the undercover documentary, for the United States!
Saudi Arabia had been fighting claims in Washington that they were the chief sponsor of terrorism, so #Trump also aided in distracting from Saudi terrorism!
Special thanks to a dear friend who sent this link to me.
The president was willing to risk the lives of US Soldiers to cover up the foreign influence in American politics!
The Israel Lobby in the #US Part 1
The Israel Lobby in the #US Part 2
The Israel Lobby in the #US Part 3
The Israel Lobby in the #US Part 4
Why ¿?
Instead, they insist it is Iran & pimp out our troops to terrorist!
@Bob_cart124 on @RT_sputnik discussing previous retaliatory strikes against Saudi.
"So what's it going to be; admit that you're lying about Iran or admit that your defence of your close ally is rubbish?"
The foreign influence in the US Congress has sent our men and woman to fight many wars in the Middle East for nothing more than land grabs, theft of resources, and to install a puppet dictatorships!
I highly recommend every American read this to understand our foreign policy and the cycle of endless war are representatives continue to engage in.
#Iran is the last on the list, it is obvious the aggression towards Iran is not a coincidence!
The full transcript of General Clark's interview as well as the video is included in the article below ⬇
Americans must read the following article!
Trumps financial ties with Saudi include:
$50 million in apartments
$20 million yacht
$4.5 million Trump Tower purchase
$270 thousand in hotel payments
However history proves that Israel and Saudi have been pushing the US to war with Iran for decades, and at the same time Trump made this comment........
Why would we sell Saudi Arabia who is known to work with al-Qaida & terrorize civilians nuclear tech while risking a war with Iran because of nuclear weapons?
"The performance of the FBI and the DOJ in the error of terrorism has been pretty pathetic over the years. It turns out to be another sting Judge. This is another, another counter terrorism operation that lured someone into running it ..."
"This is basically a claim by the Federal government that protected us from harm that was never really there and never really threaten us to begin with."
Video recorded during the Obama Administration, I believe in 2011
"So America's on the verge of another war no one needs and a war that will, can't be won by airpower alone"
"It's really a gaping hole, we are looking into that's a very dark place."
"American lead west attacking a Muslim country that has oil." Both parties love to intervene in other peoples business where there are no US interests at stake and we spend an enormous amount of money at a time when we're nearly bankrupt"
The people we are fighting today, we funded 20 years ago (The US has continued to fund Terrorist)
The CIA recruited radical Muslims from around the world to come to fight with the Mujaheddin and the training camps became virtual universities for future Islamic Wahabbis Radicalization.
"When you look at the bottom line, who this benefits if it leads to military action against Iran, it only benefits the Israelis and Saudi Arabia."
"So we're always being pushed to get our people killed for their interests."
"The Houthis were only nominally Iran's surrogates," a military officer told me at the time, "but they were also our quiet partners against #alQaeda."
"It doesn't make sense that the United States has identified #alQaida as a threat, but that we have common interests inside of #Yemen and that, in some places, it looks like we're looking the other way."
Supporting the Saudi Coalition is supporting #Terrorism, growing al-Qaeda, and committing genocide!
#Netanyahu Stated: Israel will know how to defend itself from this type of aggression and we call on all members of the international community to join president #Trump's effort to increase the pressure on Iran, that's the only way to stop Iran's aggression. 🤔
Bush drew laughter by describing himself as one lonely guy against the power of the AIPAC....
This is real #ForeignInterference!
"Unfortunately, the American democracy is not functioning as well as it should. Our government is very prone to being pressured by foreign governments. But certainly the one issue that cannot be discussed in America is the relationship with Israel."
"That's, as Mr. Bin Laden or Mr. Khaled Al-Sheik Muhammad would say, that's a martyrdom operation for any American politician."
"It would be the end of his career if he questions the relationship with Israel."
🇺🇸The finding blows the lid sky-high on Washington's much-vaunted claims of "fighting terrorism". 🇺🇸
I imagine because the Pentagon is funding & arming Al-Qaeda-ISIS!
Findley spend half a century fighting for human rights including Palestinians
He spoke about the influence of Pro-Israel lobby on US representatives and the relationship of unquestionable support the US gives Israel.
Please watch the video ⬇
Americans must understand... our government is funding this abuse!
She has been outspoken in regards to the US relationship with Israel and the requirements enforced by a foreign lobby to recieve campaign funding

"I tried my best to warn the people, that was 15+ years ago. Now, more than one half of US residents now have to swear allegiance to Israel or lose their job! I lost my job because I refused." - McKinney
At least two of the men had direct links to the Mossad and appeared in the CIA - FBI database.
Israel, America's biggest ally knew before the attacks on America soil Why didn't they inform us?
For more information please see ⬇
"But Sir, It's an American Ship.' 'Never Mind, Hit Her!' When Israel Attacked the USS Liberty!
Not only did Israel attack a US ship, they machine gunned lifeboats and used napalm against our Navy men, both war crimes!
Navy officers aboard the USS Liberty were threatened with 10 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine for telling the truth about what happened.
In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, James Traficant stated:
"Wolfowitz as undersecretary of defense manipulated President Bush, number two back into #Iraq.
"We're conducting the expansionist policy of Israel and everybody's afraid to say it." - James Traficant September 10, 2009.
''All of Ohio and America knows I've been railroaded,''
"Do not care about international criticism. We want to leave a big impact on the consciousness of Yemeni generations. We want their children, women and even their men to shiver whenever the name of Saudi Arabia is mentioned,"
"It was pretty clear that the Israelis were responsible," a former senior intelligence official was quoted as saying.
The US government is funding, arming, training, and recruiting terrorist organizations, while simultaneously sending our military men and woman to fight the same terrorist they are protecting!
Following these attacks many more lives have been and continue to be taken.

William Griffin, US #Veteran: "I never served or provided service to the American people or the people of Iraq or the people of Afghanistan."
.@AngeloJohnGage speak the truth about the foreign influence that is controlling US politicians. Our reps are bankrupting America both financially and morally by continuing endless wars for Zionist Greed.
.@1worldcitizen A true Patriot ⬇
"And those are the words they use when they are incinerating civilian convoys."
"Those are the words they use when it's government deliberately target civilian infrastructure, bombing water supplies, knowing that it would kill hundreds of thousands of children."
"Those are the words the American people used when they allowed this government to sanction Iraq, this is something that many people forget and we can't forget."
"I tried hard to be proud of my service. But all I could feel was shame and racism could no longer mask the reality of the occupation."
"The real terrorist was me and the real terrorism is this occupation"
"Racism within the military has long been an important tool to justify the destruction and occupation of another country it has long been used to justify the killing, subjugation and torture of another people. Racism is a vital weapon employed by this (USA) government."
"Poor & working people in this country are sent to kill poor & working people in another country, to make the rich richer & without racism soldiers would realize that they have more in common with the Iraqi people then they do with the billionaires who send us to war."
"We need to wake up and realize that our real enemies are not in some distant land, their not people whose names we don't know and cultures, we don't understand. The enemy's people we know very well and people we can identify."
A system that wages War for profit!
"those of us who served in the military put our hand under oath and swore to uphold the US Constitution. How can we believe we're honoring that when the country's clearly been hijacked and we're not serving American interest."

What rights do you have if your plane is canceled or delayed, or is overbooked and you are bumped?
Most passengers either don't know their rights or, in many cases, don't know how to insist on protecting those rights.
Start with a canceled flight. If it is because of weather, air traffic delays or a mechanical problem, are you entitled to: (a) free hotel room; (b) free hotel room, meal and free phone call; (c) an immediate booking on the next available flight; (d) none of the above?
The answer, unfortunately, is (d). Airline schedules are not considered guarantees, and the cancellation and delay policies differ wildly between airlines.
Actually, you are at the mercy of the gate agent and/or supervisor at the airport where the cancellation or delay occurs. I've been on some flights that have been delayed for two days, and the airline did nothing but make vague apologies.
Recently I was on a late-night United flight between Los Angeles and Chicago that was delayed an hour. After transferring us to another aircraft, flight attendants walked down the aisles distributing vouchers to mildly surprised passengers. The vouchers were each good for a $25 discount on any future United flight.
If your flight is delayed or canceled, you really have no choice but to become your own best negotiator with airline personnel. But always remember that the airline does not really owe you anything except a refund if you later decide not to take the flight.
Overseas, cancellations and delays can be even more horrendous for travelers. Scenes of hundreds of people sleeping on the floor at London's Gatwick Airport during weather or labor problems are not unusual.
However, if you did an impromptu survey and asked those poor souls how many were flying first-class, you'd come up empty. When a schedule or operational snafu develops overseas, an immediate caste system seems to be employed by foreign carriers.
If you're flying first- or business-class, many foreign airlines will bend over backward to get you a hotel, a decent meal and calls home to loved ones or business associates--all at their expense.
'Just Good Business'
"For us," says one senior foreign airline executive, "it's just good business. But if you fly on a discount ticket, well, you will probably just get what you paid for."
What happens if you show up for a flight for which you have no reservation and are told by the counter agent that you have to go on standby for the flight?
If seats become available, is it really first-come, first-served for standby passengers?
Many travelers assume that if they check in early for standby seats on a flight that is sold out, they'll get first shot at any open seat at departure time. Not always true. Again, there's often a strict pecking order at many airlines.
Full-fare first-class passengers flying standby are boarded first, followed by full-fare coach passengers, followed by the next-highest fare-paying discount passenger.
Some airlines even add an additional criteria for determining who gets any available seats. United, for example, often looks at whether or not the standby passenger is a member of its Mileage Plus program, and, if so, how many miles he or she has accrued.
But what about bumping? What rights do you have in that situation?
Lots. First, look at the numbers. The number of passengers bumped by airlines has been slowly declining. Last year American bumped just .05 passengers per 10,000; Pan Am bumped 9.75 per 10,000.
Matter of Habit
But there isn't an airline I know that doesn't overbook its flights as a matter of habit.
"The conundrum that we find ourselves in," said David Hinson, chairman and chief executive of Midway Airlines, "is that there's not a flight in our schedule, except maybe on Christmas Eve, when we don't have significant no-shows.
"We also know, for example, that our MD-87 aircraft holds 133 people. We will often book it to 180 people, but it will push out of the gate with 110 people. Why? Duplicate reservations made on other carriers and a computer model we build for each flight history that indicates the probable no-show factor.
"Of course," Hinson said, "every once in a while we guess wrong, or one of our competitors cancels. Then we have a problem."
When a flight is overbooked the U.S. Department of Transportation requires the offending airline, under a strictly enforced federal mandate, to ask for volunteers who might be willing to take another, later flight. In return for their efforts, the volunteers are then given a substantial reward--cash or a free ticket.
In recent years fewer and fewer airlines part with cash. Instead, they seem happier to part with vouchers for free flights at a later date.
But what if no volunteers can be found? What happens then, short of a riot?
'Let's Make a Deal'
It's the airline version of "Let's Make a Deal." The gate agent will board the plane, announce that no volunteers--or not enough volunteers--have been found, and start the bidding to buy your seat from you. The bidding can be as low as $150 and as high as $2,000, depending upon the flight and its distance.
If you have been denied boarding (and you checked in for your flight within the airline's rules, usually within 20 minutes before scheduled departure time), the airline is responsible for getting you to your destination within one hour of your originally scheduled arrival time. If they can accomplish this (and almost always, they can't), then they are not responsible for providing any additional compensation.
But if your arrival time is between one and two hours late, the airline is obligated to pay you an amount equal to the one-way price of your ticket (with a minimum of $200). If your arrival will be more than two hours late, the required compensation is twice the price of the one-way ticket (maximum $400). More often than not, you get to keep your original ticket, which can either be used later or refunded.
Of course, one logical piece of advice, if you want to avoid getting bumped, is to check in early for your flight.
But then there are some folks who look forward to getting bumped. These people have no intention of taking the flight for which they are booked. They are at the airport with one purpose: to get "denied boarding compensation."
Odds on Overbooking
"These people know that the odds of overbooking on certain high-density flights is great," Hinson said. "We had one flight on Friday afternoon to La Guardia in New York City and every week the same four guys would walk up to the gate, tickets and seat assignments in hand, just before the final boarding call was made.
"Of course, by that time all the seats had been given away, and we had to provide compensation. But after about the fifth week we figured it out and broke up the scam."
The same denied-boarding scam was tried--successfully--for quite some time on Detroit-New York City and New York City-Cleveland flights on American and United.
Perhaps the best part of that deal is that with many airlines your denied-boarding compensation is often given in the form of a free ticket, and that ticket is transferable.

Tom Segev takes on Israel's iconic leader, David Ben-Gurion.

Special To The Jewish Week
he retelling of history, like a Hindu god, takes many forms. The narrative of the life of David Ben-Gurion, the iconic figure in the pantheon of Zionist leaders, has been told, retold and overtold. Shabtai Teveth's massive and comprehensive political biography, "The Burning Ground," is an analysis from the political center; Ben-Gurion confidant Michael Bar Zohar's 1968 "Ben Gurion: The Armed Prophet," also centrist, emphasizes
"A State at Any Cost: The Life of David Ben-Gurion," by Tom Segev. Translated by Haim Watzman (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 804 pp.)
Ben-Gurion's role in developing Israel's armed forces; Robert St. John's earlier "Ben-Gurion: Builder of Israel" paints a colorful picture of B-G for a popular audience — his insatiable scholarly curiosity, his militant insistence on democratic methods in crafting the future state; and, more recently, Anita Shapira's smart "Ben-Gurion: Father of Modern Israel" is a compact conspectus of B-G. Now comes journalist and historian Tom Segev with "A State at Any Cost: The Life of David Ben-Gurion," a massive volume, weighing in at 800-odd pages, a magisterial work, surely to take its place as a standard reference on B-G. Segev's work adds to the corpus of Ben-Gurion literature in his interweaving of the complexity of the personal with the complexity of the political and geopolitical. Those who know Segev's tour-de-force "One Palestine, Complete," "1967" and "The Seventh Million" know that it is impossible for him to write an uninteresting sentence. There is nobody like Segev for knowing how to spin a yarn — and what a yarn this one is! — and for developing a historical context for a narrative. Ideological struggles among early Zionists; the precarious position of the Ottoman Empire, long the overlord in Palestine; the contrast between the American Jewish and European Jewish preWar landscapes, refracted through the lens of Ben-Gurion's visits to the New Land; the contexts for armed conflict with Arab countries — all are cogently composed here in a manner that engages the casual reader, and that may even satisfy the scholar.
courage. Ben-Gurion bucked his socialist and left-of-center majority in the provisional government — his socialist labor Mapai party, the left-wing Mapam and Achdut Ha'Avodah and the left-of-center religious Mizrachi, B-G's socialist majority, much of which was chary about an immediate declaration, as was B-G himself. But he understood that, whatever the perils, it had to happen — and so it did. A courageous moment. In terms of the war itself, Segev has no coherent discussion of how and why the war was successfully Top: Ben-Gurion reads the prosecuted.

their ideologies? (In the Yishuv — the Jewish community in pre-state Palestine — it was all about ideology.) For example, Poalei Zion, a truly important precursor to Ben-Gurion's Mapai — the party regnant for decades, until the 1977 "Begin Revolution" — did not come out of nowhere. Poalei Zion was influenced by the socialist ideas in the Russian "street," in opposition to Hapoel Hatzair, which was more of a "backto-the-land" movement, and to other fledgling Zionist initiatives that emphasized national and cultural dynamics. This context is important in understanding the socialist parties that emerged, movements that differed dramatically in terms of ideology. Without an understanding of the genesis of these parties it is impossible to make sense of how the state itself came to be or of BenGurion's central role in the process. And ideology was crucial in the Yishuv; ideology informed everything. Each party had, for example, its own kibbutz movement, its own defense militia. (The Haganah, for example, was a vehicle of Mapai and of the Histadrut labor federation; the Palmach had its origins in the Achdut Avodah and Mapam kibbutzim — not, as conventional wisdom has it, as a part of the Haganah). These political dynamics, crucial in
any discussion of Ben-Gurion, are missing in "A State at Any Cost." And who are the characters who provide the connective tissue of the unfolding B-G drama? Arthur Ruppin is one — but the book doesn't give us a sense of who he was. Early on in the history of the Yishuv, in an effort to avert a workers' strike at one of the settlements, Ruppin came

And where is Ber Borochov, who created the synthesis between Marxist socialism (the dominant ideology) and Zionism — a synthesis crucial to Ben-Gurion's
own ideology and subsequent career? One looks in vain for Borochov, to no avail. Finally, Segev has the reputation of being a "revisionist" historian, and he has been attacked for salting his own ideology into the B-G narrative, most pointedly in the controversial area of the flight of Palestinian Arabs from Israel during the 194749 war. But has there ever been a historian since Herodotus — or for that matter, since the author of the Book of Kings — who does not inject his or her political ideology into the narrative? I may hold the view that the emptying out of Arab villages may have to some extent been dictated by military considerations, and not as part of a grand plan to remove the Arabs — but Segev's view is a legitimate part of the discussion, and ought not be dismissed as some kind of left-wing "revisionism." Segev is not inventing history; he is not rewriting history in calling attention to controversial historical events. The reader of "A State at Any Cost" — scholar, student, Israeli, American, Zionist or anti-Zionist And the Bride — will benefit from Segev's well-crafted work. Closed the Door.

t isn't really love that's in the air in three new Israeli novels, but something more like whirlwinds of emotion that catch both the characters and the readers by surprise. "And the Bride Closed the Door" by Ronit Matalon is a riotous satire of wedding-day jitters. Look deeper and it can also stand as a parable of a country divided, and most of all as an absurdist situation comedy of contemporary Israeli family life.

The Liar.
By Ayelet Gundar-Goshen. Translated from Hebrew by Sondra Silverston. (Little, Brown, 278 pp.) As this compact tale begins, the bride has locked herself in her room, alone, refusing to come out. Family hysteria reigns as her mother, the bridegroom and the prospective in-laws all take turns yelling, cajoling, trying to get any clues to or explanation for the bride's emotional state and odd behavior. It soon becomes clear, though, that their concerns center less on the bride than on themselves, with their questions devolving into the more material matters of saving face — and money: What will they tell the 500 guests already waiting at a nearby catering hall to celebrate that very evening? What about all the money they've spent and will now lose? Can they salvage anything from this misfire of a marriage? Throughout, the motivations of the bride herself — who stays hidden behind the door from beginning to end — remain obscure. It is up to those waiting outside her door — and for the reader — to try to understand why the bride has suddenly decided not to say the words "I do." Instead, the only words that come out of her mouth, as filtered through the closed door, are "Not getting married. Not getting married. Not getting married." Her refrain (which is nearly identical to a lyric from Stephen Sondheim's musical masterpiece of marital ambivalence, "Company") hangs over the day like existential doubt. While Matti the bridegroom ponders the course of their relationship, and even the very purpose of marriage, the

— intent lies in the author's sly revision of the classic poem by the Israeli poet Leah Goldberg (1911-1970), "The Prodigal Son." Goldberg's poem, written in 1947, was itself a rewrite of the New Testament parable in which a father welcomes home and forgives the son who has left his family behind to wander the world, only to come back a beggar, having squandered his fortune. In Goldberg's version, it is the mother who embraces the son upon his return. Here, though, Matalon has the reclusive bride write and slip under the door to her waiting groom the opening verses of a poem she titles, "The Prodigal Daughter." Is Matalon suggesting that the bride is embarking on a feminist journey that will leave her independent of the need for a groom? Is this the journey of Israel itself, in search of a way forward to peace? Or is it merely another commentary on the chaotic domestic reality of this family's nonwedding day? Elusive yet powerful, by turns laugh-out-loud funny and tragically sad, "And the Bride Closed the Door" is the last novel Matalon completed before her death at the age of 58, in 2017.

juries so severe she required months of hospitalization and rehabilitation. Even now, a decade later, she remains a victim of chronic pain, subject to periodic spasms that leave her incapacitated. And that is not the only trauma that has plagued her life. When Iris was in her late teens, Eitan, her high school boy friend and presumed fiancé, had dumped her so abruptly that she had fallen into a suicidal depression. His brutal abandonment, without explanation, had implanted in her residual doubts about her own ability to love, or be loved, uncertainties about her deepest being that she has never succeeded in banishing. Still, on the surface, Iris appears to have recovered from her ordeals. Professionally, she has become a respected school principal, having transformed a failing school into a success. Personally, too, she has forged a long-term marriage to the caring if emotionally clueless Mickey, and has brought up two children: 20-something Alma and adolescent Omer. Whatever disappointments and ambivalence Iris harbors about them — Mickey is not the passionate lover Eitan was, nor are these the children she would have had with Eitan — she tries to keep to herself. Shalev is not shy in pointing out the mind-body connection of physical pain. Simply being reminded of the bus bombing's anniversary engulfs Iris in pain so agonizing that Mickey insists on taking her to the hospital. There she is referred to the head pain specialist — who turns out to be none other than Eitan. The meeting triggers in Iris renewed anguish at her abandonment, and in Eitan buried depths of shame and remorse. To their surprise, their unexpected reunion also sparks passion. Their affair consumes them in a shared fantasy of a second chance that will allow them to undo their past errors and start over again, this time together. The lure is so mesmerizing that it takes several plot twists for Iris to recognize that rather than heal her old wounds, the new life she yearns for with Eitan would be tainted by her abandonment of her husband and children. Could she cause them the same kind of suffering that Eitan had visited on her? Shalev's intricate tale can be breathless, and her writing at times overheated. But she persuasively

Two Families, Across The Great Divide Lis Harris spent 10 years crisscrossing Jerusalem to put a human face on the conflict. It ended up challenging her sense of Jewish values. Sandee Brawarsky Culture Editor
n the early 1980s, Lis Harris spent five years closely observing chasidic life through one family, almost as if she were embedded with them. She would travel frequently between her Manhattan home and Crown Heights, Brooklyn, asking difficult questions and sticking around to hear the answers, sometimes again and again. Harris, who is Jewish, admittedly knew very little about the com-

munity and approached her subjects with openness and respect. The family hoped that all their talk would lead to Harris joining them, but she maintained her outsider's perspective even as she became more of an insider. In 1985 she published a highly praised, beautifully written book, "Holy Days: The World of a Hasidic Family," which ran as a three-part series in The New Yorker. Harris, who spent more than 25 years writing for The New Yorker and left in 1996, has written other books since but perhaps her newest book is closest in spirit to "Holy Days" than "In Jerusalem: Three Generations of an Israeli Family and a Palestinian Family" (Beacon Press). Here, she spent almost 10 years — the summers and winter breaks from her teaching position at the School of the Arts at Columbia University — dividing her time between a Jewish family in West Jerusalem and a Palestinian family in east Jerusalem, while staying in a studio in the German Colony. This is not meant to be a comprehensive work on the Middle East conflict, but rather a more modest yet deep look at the ways the conflict touches on individuals who live there. "I had never been to Israel," Harris says in an interview. "I consider myself hugely Jewish, but not religious, which is why the chasidic book was such an adventure for me. My family's attitude was that their home team was the Jews." About her motivation for writing this, she says, "It's the same thing as what drew me to write about chasidim. I am Jewish and these are my people." And, also, it was "a deep curiosity more than anything." In an email, Harris adds, "The fulcrum around which everything else turns is the remark the chasidic man I wrote about in 'Holy Days' made when

Harris also covers the impact on the families of the Six-Day War in 1967, the years after the Oslo Accords and the two intifadas. "All suffered from violence, were dislocated. All lost family members," Harris says of the families. "They have so many similarities in general experience; they had ethnic things in common, an interest in moral issues. But they were more different than the same; their traditions are very different. Though Israel is still in a fragile way often, the life that they lead is much more a modern civilized life — the Palestinians are busy catching up." Throughout, Harris is a graceful, even masterful, writer, although the book can be unsettling to read. Her

A Roundup Of New Fall Titles
From the ethics of Jewish food to the quiet genius of Red Holzman.
Sandee Brawarsky Culture Editor
ell Worth Saving: American Universities' Life-and-Death Decisions on Refugees from Nazi Europe" by Laurel Leff (Yale) is the first book to explore the choices American universities made when they had opportunities to offer jobs to Jewish scholars trapped in Nazi-dominated Europe and save their lives. While scholars like Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi and Herbert Marcuse were welcomed, most scholars were turned down; the primary American committee working on this placed 335 scholars out of the 6,000 who applied. Leff presents the stories of those who were not hired; most were persecuted and deported. She also documents the pervasive anti-Semitism on American campuses. The book is particularly timely when immigration, refugees and anti-Semitism are much in the headlines. Leff, who teaches Jewish studies and journalism at Northeastern University, is the author of another important work, "Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper." Exploring how deeply and thoroughly Judaism and food are intertwined, "Feasting and Fasting: The History and Ethics of Jewish Food," edited by Aaron S. Gross, Jody Myers and Jordan Rosenblum (NYU Press), is a collection of essays by professors in various disciplines including ethnography, Talmud, history, religious studies, ethics and culture. Contributors address food in the biblical, rabbinic, the medieval and modern eras, "a brief history of

she says. "I don't pretend to be neutral. That's not my job. I want to be fair but not opinionless." Interspersed in the narrative, she includes "Travels with Fuad," accounts of her sometimes-comic adventures with her intrepid Jerusalem taxi driver, the Palestinian Fuad Abu Awwad, who translates for her — she speaks neither Hebrew nor Arabic — and adds his opinions to the mix. He also takes her on detours off track, including to the wedding of his youngest sisterin-law, to meet with a Druze scholar in Nazareth and to eat grilled chicken at a popular stand in Beit Jala. While working on the book, her friend, the renowned photographer Thomas Struth, visited and photographed the two families, separately. Many inquire if she made attempts to bring the families, or even Ruth and Niveen, together, and she says no, that her subject was not encounter. When asked whether working on the book left her with a sense of hope, Harris, who now heads the writing department at Columbia's School of the Arts, says, "I wish I could say it did. I'm a skeptic but also

an optimist, and all I can say is an abstraction, that things change. Look at Northern Ireland, Germany. But the weather signs are not that promising. There are so many people of good will. It would be nice to think they could prevail. "One of the reasons I wanted to write this is that I hope that someone will say, 'this is more complicated than I thought,'" she says. As to whether she sees herself as a Zionist, Harris, who grew up in New York City, says, "I would not use Zionist. I was raised to think I was part of a large tribe that was Jewish, that we all belong together. I was raised to think that Jews were great, and the rest of the world not as wonderful, so said my grandmother. Who was not a Zionist after the Second World War? I share that. My family wouldn't call themselves Zionists but de facto were. But I was a grown woman and still had no sense of the other side of the picture. I believe it's still true now for a lot of Jews. "I've known all along this is a troubling subject. But I'm glad that I did this – it's always better to know more. To understand the plight of the Palestinians does not mean that I don't love the Israelis or feel like I have nothing to do with them, or disown them. Nothing like that. These are my people." ✒
Battle against Racial and Religious Discrimination" by David E. Lowe (Potomac Books) is a compelling biography of a significant figure in the civil rights movement, whose tombstone reads, "He established 'one man, one vote' as a principle of American law." Born to immigrant parents in a small town in rural Georgia, Abram became a leading civil rights attorney, Jewish communal leader (he headed w Shabbat cho-the American Jewish Committee and orite, ecologicalthe Conference of Presidents), huwish future andman rights activist, U.S. ambassador, Hasia Diner andadvocate for Israel, leader in the Sost Jonathan Saf-viet Jewry movement and president tisfying Eatingof Brandeis University. Abram, who iversity writes,died in 2000, was tapped for service by five U.S. presidents. The author is a concern." Abram and thepolitical scientist who taught at several universities and served at the National Endowment for Democracy. "999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz" by Heather Dune Macadam (Citadel Press) chronicles the experiences of the first convoy of women that reached the camp. It arrived in March 1942. The unmarried Jewish women, many of them teenagers, had been told that they were being sent to do government
work in newly occupied Poland for just a few months, but very few returned. The author, who co-wrote "Rena's Promise: A Story of Sisters in Auschwitz," describes the women's backgrounds and the life of the Slovakian Jewish community before the War, as well as the women's daily lives at Auschwitz and their murders. While the book is based on archival research, letters, testimony and the tracing of survivors and their families, Macadam sometimes uses dramatic license (which is identified) to recreate scenes and conversations, in addition to direct quotes from interviews. Documenting many untold and important stories, the book is published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. A story of resilience, "No Past Tense: Love and Survival in the Shadow of the Holocaust" by D.Z. Stone (Vallentine Mitchell) is the dual biography of two Czech Jews who met as teenagers in April 1944 when both were forced into the same ghetto. They were together for one week before being sent to concentration camps. He survived Mauthausen and she survived Auschwitz. After the War, she went looking for him and they married. Told in their voices, the book is based on more than 100 hours of interviews, covering their childhoods, liberation from the camps, return to their hometowns and the rebuilding of their lives in then-Palestine and New York City. The couple, Kati and Willi Salcers, hadn't told their children that they had been in concentration camps before they were interviewed by the Shoah Foundation. Their son then enlisted Stone, a journalist with a background

"Lis Harris has written about a conflict in which the members of each side, acutely damaged by trauma, are so angry at the other that they can't listen. But Harris can.

continued from previous page in cultural anthropology, to chronicle their life stories. Published quietly in 1945 and now in a new edition with a preface by Nobel Laureate Patrick Modiano, "A Bookshop in Berlin: The Rediscovered Memoir of One Woman's Harrowing Escape from the Nazis" by Francoise Frenkel (Atria) is the
story of a Jewish woman from Poland who fulfills a dream in 1921, when she opens the first French bookstore in Berlin. The shop, La Maison du Livre, becomes a center for poets, diplomats, artists and intellectuals. On Kristall-
nacht, the bookstore is spared, but Frenkel flees to Paris, witnessing many horrors, and spends the war years in the south of France, secreted in a series of safe houses by kind strangers. Little is known of Frenkel's life after the War. She died in 1975; the memoir was rediscovered in an attic in southern France in 2010 and has been republished in several languages. Presented through analyses of the weekly Torah portions, "Be, Become, Bless: Jewish Spirituality Between East and West" by Yakov Nagen (Maggid) is unusual in its approach and wide-ranging outlook. Nagen is a senior educator at the Otniel Yeshiva in Israel, where he teaches Talmud and Kabbala, and is very involved with interfaith dialogue between Judaism and Islam as well as encounters between Judaism and Eastern religions. Here, he draws upon teachings from the Bible, Talmud, Kabbala, poetry, philosophy, popular culture and film, as well as his personal experiences, including travel in India, raising a family and reading widely. He highlights differences and similarities between Eastern and Western ways of thinking, and the ways that individuals might learn from one another. The reader gains an understanding of Nagen's view of life, grounded in Jewish teachings, with gratitude and deep awareness of the blessings of light and life itself. "The German House" by Annette
Inside Hilberg's Output
Two new collections introduce the methodical work of the eminent Holocaust scholar.
t is ironic that the future Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg, who died in 2007, arrived in the United States in flight from Nazi Europe on Sept.1, 1939, the day that World War II began. Two newly edited collections of his writings, both published by Bergahn Books, commemorate the 80th anniversary of both events. For those whom his monumental work, the three-volume treatise, "The Destruction of the European Jews," remains daunting, these volumes serve as brief yet incisive introductions to the wide-ranging scope of Hilberg's five decades of scholarship. The essays in "The Anatomy of the Holocaust," edited by Walter H. Pehle and Rene Schlott, highlight how Hilberg's methodical analysis of the bureaucratic functioning of the Third Reich in general and of its concentration camp machinery of destruction in particular brought to wide public attention the sinister genocidal efficiency at the Holocaust's core. "German Railroads, Jewish Souls: The Reichsbahn, Bureaucacy, and the Final Solution," published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, further underscores the role of Nazi Germany's amoral bureaucracy in implementing the slaughter of six million Jews. The emphasis here is the role of concentration camp-bound cattle cars in bringing Jews to their deaths. Editors Christopher R. Browning and Peter Hayes, two eminent Holocaust scholars who were themselves influenced by Hilberg's approach, supplement two essays by Hilberg with further analyses of their own. "Hilberg's self-imposed task was to 'grasp how this deed was done,'" Browning and Hayes write. These two books present in capsule Hilberg's chilling, ever-haunting conclusions.

Red Holzman, from Bushwick to the Garden.
or me, Red Holzman was an easier interview dead than alive," Mort Zachter begins his excellent biography of the most successful coach in the history of the New York Knicks. Holzman, who led the team to its only two championships, was known to be very modest. He disliked being interviewed and rarely shared his strategies with the press, but he did sit down for a series of interviews in 1978 for the oral history project of the American Jewish Committee, and left strict instructions as to how they could be used. In 2018 Zachter found the transcripts, which had been unread. Reading them, he says, made him feel "as if Holzman was alive and well and speaking just to me." In "Red Holzman: The Life and Legacy of a Hall of Fame Basketball Coach" (Skyhorse), Zachter tells of Holzman's childhood as the son of Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, when an uncle would take him to see his first professional basketball games at Arcadia Hall in Bushwick. Holzman began playing in streets and schoolyards in the 1920s, and his parents referred to the game as narishkeit, foolishness, before he got a basketball scholarship to attend college. As head coach of the Knicks, Holzman led a squad including Bill Bradley, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere and Earl Monroe. At Madison Square Garden, the number 613 hangs next to Holzman's name — the total number of his wins with the Knicks. In the appendix, Zachter also includes Holzman's wife Selma's "Chicken-in-the-Pot" recipe, which he found in the Knicks' 1998-1999 media guide; Knicks center and captain Willis Reed told Zachter she delivered the soup to him each winter when he got the flu.

Hess (HarperVia), a debut novel by an award-winning German screenwriter, is now an international bestseller. Told through the voice of a young translator working at the 1963 Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials, the novel, based on actual testimony of the trials, is a courtroom drama and family saga of long-hidden secrets. The German House is the restaurant her family runs from its home in Frankfurt. Based on true events, Alan Furst's new historical spy novel "Under Occupation" (Random House) is set in the occupied Paris of 1942, where French resistance networks secretly combat
Hitler. Furst was inspired by the story of Polish prisoners in Nazi Germany who smuggled valuable information to the French Resistance. Here, a French novelist is the hero of the novel. "L'chaim and Lamentations" (New South Books) is an appealing debut collection of stories by Craig Darch. The stories feature a range of Jewish characters that feel familiar; Darch has a great ear for their individual voices and empathy for the way they experience life's turns, both the ordinary and the unexpected. There's loneliness and humor, kiddush and Kaddish, humanity and hope in these stories. ✒

Encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS), is a rare but devastating complication of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) with a high mortality rate. The incidence is between 0.5 and 3.3%, decreasing with time. EPS is defi ned as a clinical syndrome with major signs of gastrointestinal obstruction, infl ammatory parameters, radiological and macroscopic changes. Duration of treatment and cessation of PD are the main risk for development of EPS: about 75% of EPS occurred in patients transferred on hemodialysis or in the two years after kidney transplantation. Morphological alterations are disappearance of mesothelial layer, sub-mesothelial fi brosis, interstitial sclerosis and vasculopathy, ultrafi ltration failure, fast transport status of the peritoneal membrane, and loss of sodium sieving are the most predicting functional abnormalities. Some biomarkers could be found in the peritoneal effl uent. The pathophysiology is probably a consequence of a multiple-hit process in which expression of growth factors and cytokines play a role. Medical strategies (corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, tamoxifen) in association with parenteral nutrition and/or surgery (enterolysis) are discussed. Prevention is the use of physiological peritoneal solutions, icodextrine instead of high glucose concentration solution, and peritoneal lavage fter peritoneal dialysis cessation for any reason.
