By Dr. Salman Abu Sitta
Newspaper columns are currently busy with commentaries on Arab, Israeli and US diplomatic moves suggesting new initiatives in the peace process, which died some time ago (although nobody has signed the death certificate yet). These attempts to resuscitate the process will not bring it back to life because the causes of death are conclusive and they're the same causes that have been known for decades. The "new" moves are nothing new at all, they're simply recycled and repackaged calls to return to the armistice lines of 1949 (which are erroneously known as the "1967 borders"; they are not 1967 and they are not borders). At the same time, they plan to allow Israeli settlements beyond the armistice line to become part of Israel, through a process of land exchange. This plan does not call for the application of the right of return (of refugees) although it does state that international law needs to be adhered to, rather pointlessly, as it will be subject entirely to the dictates of Israel and America.
The focus of the new version is the land exchange demanded by Israel; this is not as innocent a negotiating demand as it seems because Israel essentially wants to invalidate the international law which says that Gaza and the West Bank are Occupied Territories. Israel also wants to overturn the International Court of Justice advisory ruling that this Palestinian land is occupied and the occupiers must withdraw completely; and that the apartheid wall is contrary to the law and has to be dismantled with due compensation paid.
Thus in one fell swoop, Israel wants to demolish established legal norms and to transform the land beyond the wall into what will be at best a Palestinian state with partial sovereignty. This will be very similar to what Israel achieved through its peace treaty with Egypt in 1979, which left the Egyptians with incomplete sovereignty over large tracts of Sinai even though there was a complete Israeli military withdrawal.
If concessions are granted to Israel on this basis, and the Palestinian negotiators accept it, then the Palestinian cause will be fragmented into relatively small detached issues such as borders, water, settlements, refugees and others, based on the principle of equal rights of Palestine and Israel in the West Bank. What is left to haggle over is only the distribution of these rights to the two parties according to the balance of power.
This justifies the uproar caused by the issue of land exchange. The newspapers were full of comments on the "breaking news" in Haaretz last month (Aluf Benn: Olmert's plan for peace in 17/12/2009), and published alongside them a map of the proposed land exchange. This was presented to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for his perusal; childishly, he was denied an official copy unless he agreed to sign it as an agreement.
Israeli deception has no limits but no one can be fooled except those who are desperate or ignorant of the facts, or both. Israel wants to exchange land it occupied in 1948 with land it occupied in 1967, while it does not have the right to either. Israel believes that this format gives legitimacy to land occupied in either year by dispensing of the owners' rights in favour of itself. Some may say that Israel "owns" the land it is exchanging for the settlements, but that's not true; even if they recognize Israel as a country, control of a land does not mean its ownership and the land remains the property of its original owner no matter how long it takes to get it back. Hence, Israel does not have a legal right to suggest such an exchange of land, unless the owner of the land first transfers that ownership to Israel which, of course, is not going to happen legally.
A study of the Olmert draft as it is shows that, in fact, it proposes the confiscation of Palestinian property located between the apartheid wall and the 1949 armistice line, including East Jerusalem, which means it considers Israel's new borders to be the path of the wall itself (see the map). This means adding around 370 sq km from the West Bank to Israel in addition to the 68 sq km annexed from Arab Jerusalem in 1967, making a total of 438 sq km of territory.
One of the historical ironies is that Israel wants to expand the area given up by King Abdullah (of Jordan) in March 1949 under the threat of the then new state of Israel occupying the entire West Bank. That "concession" by Abdullah saw an area of 375 sq km, including 70 villages with 100,000 inhabitants, falling under Israeli rule.
The scam proposed by Olmert today has several precedents: the armistice with Jordan in March-April 1949 stipulated that Jordan has a right to exchange the land ceded to Israel with other land in Al-Fator (Bissan District) and in Al Khalil (Hebron) district. Guarantees were given that Israel would pay the cost of a new road between Qalqilia and Tulkarim in order to restore the connection between them after the compromise of the territories noted above.
Of course, nothing of this kind ever happened; no money for the road was ever paid, Al-Fator was not restored and land in Hebron was not acquired. It was all phoney theatre, and the actors knew it; and what's surprising is that Al-Fator was Arab land in 1949 and there was no need for it to be "restored", but because it was all for show, Israel annexed it anyway.
This Olmert project, if approved, will confer legitimacy on the occupation of Jerusalem and its environs, the occupation of the Latrun area of the West Bank, and the legitimacy of continued extraction by Israel of water from the western aquifer, the largest ground water reservoir in the West Bank.
What has Israel offered in exchange for such Arab generosity? It offers to expand the West Bank area in the district of Hebron with 190 sq km (number 28 in the map) of land that was, still is, and always will be, barren, which has nothing in it but an Arab village that is not recognized by Israel; Atir (or Um Alhairan) has no water or even a shoreline on the Dead Sea. Israel, therefore, does not lose anything, but gains by getting rid of another Arab village. As for the west side of the Hebron district, Israel is offering an expansion of 12 sq km, also infertile land, so none of the settlements in the area will be affected, including Alchomaripa and Omazia; the latter is built on the land of Dawayma, the Palestinian village which experienced the largest massacre in the 1948 Nakba-Catastrophe. These settlements will not be affected and Jewish settlers won't notice any change.
Observers of the history of the Nakba know that the armistice line in the Hebron district, starting from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, was arbitrary to a large extent; there was no battle or argument about it, either with Egypt or Jordan, both of whom had forces to defend this area in 1948. In effect, the armistice line could have been to the west of its current location, bringing Fallujah and Beersheba into the West Bank, along with hundreds of square kilometres of land. It was neglect by the Arabs that lost this territory.
The proposed line around Jerusalem and Latrun is the second major attempt to seize Arab land. The first was carried out successfully in 1949 when Moshe Dayan moved the armistice line to include west of Jerusalem and Beit Safafa and the Walaja territories, as well as the Jaffa-Jerusalem railway. The second is the plan currently proposed to create a Jerusalem with a majority Jewish population.
Gaza's story is no less a tragedy than that of the West Bank. The real armistice line agreed to by Egypt in February 1949 (shown on the map) allocated to the Gaza Strip an area of 555 square kilometres, which is 200 square kilometres more than its current size.
How did that happen? A secret agreement was negotiated between the Egyptian government and the Israelis a "co-existence agreement" and signed in February 1950. The pretext was security, but in reality it was meant to prevent Palestinians from returning to their homes across the armistice line; such Palestinians are referred to as "infiltrators" by Israel and according to that agreement, the armistice line was moved to its current position. What is strange is that the "co-existence agreement" states that the original armistice agreement will not be affected by what was intended to be a temporary agreement, but no one thought to ask for the armistice line to be restored to its original place throughout the period from 1950 to 1967!
This brings us to the Olmert plan for peace with the expansion of the Gaza Strip by 64.5 sq km, out of the original 200 sq km seized through fraud and secret negotiations and about which Palestinians are unaware. Just like the situation proposed for the Hebron district, the expansion of the Gaza Strip does not mean the removal of any settlement; none of the Beeri, Kissufim or Nirim settlements, which were built on land stolen from the Gaza Strip, are going to be affected in any way.
This is Israel's perennial attitude; it seizes land by force or extortion and then proposes to return a small portion of it to the rightful owner, in exchange for the forfeiture of his rights to the entire piece of land. This is considered to be a huge concession on Israel's part!
The commotion that accompanied the leaking of the Olmert plan was entirely artificial aimed at moving the issue forward within the framework of Arab and US diplomacy. This is because the plan itself has already been published in the Newsletter of the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP) and is, therefore, not top-secret. The officer who drew the map is Shaul Arieli, who submitted it as a part of the "Geneva Initiative."
At the time of the first publication, retired General Giora Eilan published the same plan with full details in the Washington Institute's Policy Focus No. 88. General Eilan, who was chair of the Israeli National Security Council from 2004 – 2006, included in his plan an integrated project for "peace" containing the following points:
- The borders will be based on Israeli expansion in the West Bank, in return for a symbolic retreat from Hebron and Gaza, similar to the map.
- The return of refugees would be symbolic, accompanied by a mass resettlement of the refugees in Arab countries under different options. This is the same formula as the "Geneva Initiative".
- Jerusalem is to be divided according to neighbourhoods, leaving sovereignty to Israel.
- The state of Palestine will not be a state and will not be Palestine as we know it. It will be demilitarized, with no sovereignty or ability to engage in foreign treaties, no authority over its borders, the Jordan Valley, the space above the land and that below the ground, and Israel will have the right to establish and operate early warning stations anywhere within its territory.
- Water will be distributed according to the current situation.
- A corridor connecting the West Bank and Gaza Strip will be allocated.
This fragmentation has a dual purpose: First of all, Israel can get away with not recognising the West Bank and Gaza as occupied land, and thus the land therein can be shared according to the balance of power. And second, Israel does not have to accept the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes and land.
As a result, the acceptance of negotiations on the basis of a multiplicity of issues would lead to an Israeli trap, whereas the Palestinians' rights are clear and are based on two principles:
1. The inadmissibility of the occupation and acquisition of land by force, as confirmed by the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice in July 2004, which calls for Israel's withdrawal to the armistice line of 1949.
2. The right of return for refugees, which is a right confirmed by the international community more than 130 times; it cannot be annulled and no alternative formulas can be invented to abrogate it.
It seems that the United States has basically adopted the Olmert plan in one form or another, according to the Maariv newspaper on 5th January; perhaps that is the reason for the current shuttle activity of Arab foreign ministers. As noted in Al-Hayat newspaper, US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, in a press conference with the Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Jawdat, called for "ending the conflict" by way of a Palestinian state with "friendly exchange of land and realizing the Israeli goal of a Jewish state within secured and recognized borders". This last clause (the reference to a "Jewish State") opens the door for Israel to expel Palestinians living in the "Jewish State" according to the land exchange programme (see map).
This plan will not succeed for several reasons:
1. Palestinians will not agree to the so-called "land exchange", as the President of the Palestinian Authority has no power to hand over Palestinian land to Israel because Palestine's borders are set by the Palestinian National Charter of 1968. Any such decision would have to be determined by an elected Palestinian National Council representing 11 million Palestinians, and such a council does not exist.
2. The legitimate and acceptable way to achieve justice for Palestinians based on their inalienable rights is for the Israelis to end the illegal occupation, remove the immoral blockade imposed on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and reaffirm the right of return of Palestinian refugees; no one has the right to waive or annul any of these.
As for the "Arab Initiative", it does not emphasize the right of return and leaves it subject to Israel's approval, which opens the door to negotiations lasting for several years in order to agree to a "just solution" to the issue of refugees. This is contrary to the fact that the right of return is inalienable, and international law has previously determined that the "just solution" has to be the return of those people to the homes and land from which they were expelled. As such, there is no need to be negotiating about this right unless the intention is to rescind it.
What is planned today is the re-drafting of failed plans, with a new look that has all parties in agreement, except the Palestinian people. This new Israeli formulation offers each party to the negotiations what it wants, including: land exchange, a state in name only, the "Geneva Initiative", the "Arab Initiative" and American blessing. But the Palestinian people, the possessors of legitimate rights, who lack genuine representation at the negotiation table, will not concede their rights now after six decades of steadfastness.

Trey Hardee is an accomplished professional athlete. In the 2012 Olympic Games in London, Trey took home the silver medal in the decathlon. He also has two World Championships under his belt. During his time at the University of Texas, Trey won a NCAA Championship and to this day is the collegiate decathlon record holder. The decathlon consists of ten events: 100 meter sprint, long jump, shot-put, high jump, 400 meter sprint, hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500 meter run. Each of these events requires mastery of the body and utilizes different muscle groups.
Importance Of Staying Pain Free
According to Trey, as a decathlon athlete it's hard to be 100% healthy all of the time. "If your bone structure is off just a little, you're going to damage some soft tissue," said Trey. This soft tissue damage is what causes most nagging pain and acute injuries such as sprain and strains. These small injuries can make or break a decathlete since all of their muscles must be working seamlessly in order to perform at optimal levels. With help from Airrosti, Trey was able to achieve this optimal level of performance and become an Olympic Silver Medalist. "If you are [100% healthy] you're winning medals, you're setting records," said Trey.
Trey Hardee's Airrosti Experience
Nine months before Trey was set to try out for the 2012 US Olympic Team, he found Airrosti. He had recently undergone elbow surgery, but was having some limited range of motion and discomfort. After meeting Dr. Brian Ellspermann at the University of Texas, Trey underwent his first Airrosti treatment. After conducting a thorough examination, Dr. Ellspermann developed a custom manual therapy treatment plan for Trey. After seeing amazing results in that first treatment, Trey went to Dr. Ellsperman once a week for six months leading up to his competition in the 2012 Olympic Games in London to ensure that he was competing at 100%.
Airrosti's goal is to give patients their lives back. Not only do Airrosti Providers manually correct the injury, but they also educate their patients about active rehab exercises that can be performed at home in order to speed recovery and prevent future injures. These exercises, in combination with the customized manual therapy treatments, relieve the pain and resolve the issue fully so that it doesn't return. If you're suffering from nagging pain that is keeping you from reaching your full potential, give Airrosti a call to set up an appointment with a Provider near you.

If you live in a small or cluttered home and feel you need more space, you have come to the right place.
We are guilty of hoarding things or owning too much stuff over the years. If you want to free up space in your home and need help, use this guide for the best tips to enhance the spaciousness of your home.
External storage solutions
You do not need to store all your belongings in your home if you don't have the space. Yet, this doesn't mean you must get rid of things forever.
Using Self Storage, you can remain the owner of your belongings yet not have to store them in your home. You can store them safely elsewhere and gain access to them when you need or want them. This will allow you to free up space in your home without eliminating everything you don't use daily.
Think about the flow
The flow of your home could be another reason your home feels small or overcrowded. Therefore, you should think about how it flows and change things to make it flow better, enhancing spaciousness.
For instance, you might have your dining table in the wrong position, which prevents you from easily accessing the kitchen. Hence, moving things around can improve the flow and enhance the space.
Decorate with lighter shades
Lighter shades are much better for decorating a small home. They allow a space to feel larger and more spacious.
Choose whites, beiges, or light pastel shades to paint walls with if you want to open up the space. Avoid dark shades, as these won't allow the light to bounce around the home. If you wish to add some dark features, let them be smaller decorative pieces.
Add more light
Another smart way to make your home more spacious is to add more light. It will feel small and dull if your home is dark due to bulky window coverings or no great evening lights.
Therefore, choose to remove window coverings and let as much light pass through your home as possible to enhance the spaciousness of your home.
Get rid of things you no longer need regularly
Although you might dislike getting rid of things, it will help enhance the free space in your home.
Go through your drawers and cupboard regularly to see what you no longer need and use. Getting rid of things slowly will help you regain a sense of spaciousness and freedom in your home.
Rearrange the furniture
The positioning of your furniture could be the reason your home feels small. Playing around with the arrangements will help you discover new ways to display your furniture and gain more space.
Moving your bed or the living room sofa to a new spot could be the answer to making the room feel twice as big. It is all about trial and error. Getting rid of furnishings you do not need or use will allow you to move things around easier.

Frozen Flame, an open-world indie action RPG, has just released on Steam's Early Access program for $25.49. There's also a Frozen Flame roadmap that elaborates upon what fans can expect for the highly anticipated title over the next three months, with highlights including events, biomes, bosses, weapons, and much more.
One of the more intriguing additions is coming in late December as part of Update 2. It's a new biome called Dragon's Grove, which will also offer Chapter 2 of the main campaign along with iron weapons and armor, stone buildings, field bosses, and new NPCs, quests, and trade items.
Serge Korolev, founder of Dreamside Interactive, had this to say about Dragon's Grove and other upcoming Frozen Flame updates:
Dragon's Grove showcases another layer of the development team's aim to provide Frozen Flame players with a constantly engaging gameplay experience that keeps them on their toes. And each new biome will provide new quests, enemies, crafting stations and equipment, considerably expanding the game. We're pairing bespoke gameplay mechanics and unique resources with each major update in order to bring another layer of freshness. We also want to know what players love or don't love as we continue to evolve throughout Early Access.
As you can see in the Frozen Flame roadmap, there's a lot of content that fans can expect in the coming months. The first update, which is coming in a few weeks, is a Christmas-themed update that also offers balance, localization, and gamepad control polishing. The second and third updates will offer new bosses and places to see, along with musical instruments that you should be able to use to annoy other players.
Other features that are coming in the future include a survival mode, mounts, new player abilities, and two new biomes. These are the Ghostwoods (accompanied by Chapter 3) and the Ice Citadel, which will host the game's final boss. The boss's name is called Faceless, which sounds like an appropriately daunting name for your most powerful foe.

A Resource on Black Artists, Art History and Visual Culture by Nasher, Museum of Art at Duke University
Reading Black Art is a non-exhaustive collection of resources on art, art history and visual culture of the African Diaspora. This curated selection presents a wide array of instructive texts that will aid in better understanding of and engagement with work by Black artists in the Nasher Museum collection. Reading Black Art also features exhibition catalogues published by the Nasher Museum on the occasion of original, traveling exhibitions of work by Black artists. Intended to be a living and circumscribed bibliography that is updated regularly,
Reading Black Art is a helpful tool for educators, students and those interested in Black visual culture.
A Resource on Black Artists, Art History and Visual Culture by Nasher, Museum of Art at Duke University'.
1. Formed on the South Side of Chicago in 1968 at the height of the civil rights, Black power, and Black arts movements, the AFRICOBRA collective created a new artistic visual language rooted in the culture of Chicago's Black neighborhoods. The collective's aesthetics, especially the use of vibrant color, capture the rhythmic dynamism of Black culture and social life. In AFRICOBRA, painter, photographer, and collective cofounder Wadsworth A. Jarrell tells the definitive story of the group's creation, history, and artistic and political principles. From accounts of the painting of the groundbreaking Wall of Respect mural and conversations among group members to documentation of AFRICOBRA's exhibits in Chicago, New York, and Boston, Jarrell outlines how the collective challenged white conceptions of art by developing an artistic philosophy and approach wholly divested of Western practices.
2. Difference exists; otherness is constructed. This book asks how important Western artists, from Giotto to Titian and Caravaggio, and from Bosch to Dürer and Rembrandt, shaped the imaging of non-Western individuals in early modern art. Victor I. Stoichita's nuanced and detailed study examines images of racial otherness during a time of new encounters of the West with different cultures and peoples, such as those with dark skins: Muslims and Jews. Featuring a host of informative illustrations and crossing the disciplines of art history, anthropology, and postcolonial studies, Darker Shades also reconsiders the Western canon's most essential facets: perspective, pictorial narrative, composition, bodily proportion, beauty, color, harmony, and lighting. What room was there for the "Other," Stoichita would have us ask, in such a crystalline, unchanging paradigm?
3. A comprehensive compendium of artists and writers confronting questions of Black identity activism and social responsibility in the age of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers based on the landmark traveling exhibition What is Black art This question was posed and answered time and time again between 1960 and 1980 by artists curators and critics deeply affected by this turbulent period of radical social and political upheaval in America. Rather than answering in one way they argued for radically different ideas of what "Black art" meant.
4. In A Black Gaze, Tina Campt examines Black contemporary artists who are shifting the very nature of our interactions with the visual through their creation and curation of a distinctively Black gaze. Their work—from Deana Lawson's disarmingly intimate portraits to Arthur Jafa's videos of the everyday beauty and grit of the Black experience, from Kahlil Joseph's films and Dawoud Bey's photographs to the embodied and multimedia artistic practice of Okwui Okpokwasili, Simone Leigh, and Luke Willis Thompson—requires viewers to do more than simply look; it solicits visceral responses to the visualization of Black precarity. Campt shows that this new way of seeing shifts viewers from the passive optics of looking at to the active struggle of looking with, through, and alongside the suffering—and joy—of Black life in the present. The artists whose work Campt explores challenge the fundamental disparity that defines the dominant viewing practice: the notion that Blackness is the elsewhere (or nowhere) of whiteness. These artists create images that flow, that resuscitate and revalue the historical and contemporary archive of Black life in radical ways. Writing with rigor and passion, Campt describes the creativity, ingenuity, cunning, and courage that is the modus operandi of a Black gaze.
5. The history of the Washington art community has always been an elusive one. Its diverse and often contradictory nature makes definitive analysis a most difficult task. Washington's innately transient population and the over— bearing presence of the Federal City have only compounded the problem. It remains however, that seminal influences in the arts have been born and nurtured in Washington. Well-known among these is the Washington Color School. Less well-known, though more historically complex and intriguing, are the contributions made by black artists and institutions. It is a great honor and pleasure for the Washington Project for the Arts to undertake an exhibition and catalogue that celebrates the achievements of these artists and educators. While it may seem outside the aegis of a contemporary artists' organization such as the W.P.A., we regard the realization of this project as a pivotal addition to the collective understanding of our roots both as artists and as public residing in Washington. It is extremely fitting that it is an artist, Keith Morrison, who, with diligence, commitment, and hard work has brought to light and memorialized those artists and educators who furthered the Modernist spirit in Washington during the years 1940-1970. JOCK REYNOLDS, Executive Director, Washington Project for the Arts
6. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) burst onto the art scene in the summer of 1980 as one of approximately one hundred artists exhibiting at the 1980 Times Square Show in New York City. By 1982, at the age of twenty-one, Basquiat had solo exhibitions in galleries in Italy, New York, and Los Angeles. Basquiat's artistic career followed the rapid trajectory of Wall Street, which boomed from 1983 to 1987. In the span of just a few years, this Black boy from Brooklyn had become one of the most famous American artists of the 1980s. The Jean-Michel Basquiat Reader is the first comprehensive sourcebook on the artist, closing gaps that have until now limited the sustained study and definitive archiving of his work and its impact.
Eight years after his first exhibition, Basquiat was dead, but his popularity has only grown. Through a combination of interviews with the artist, criticism from the artist's lifetime and immediately after, previously unpublished research by the author, and a selection of the most important critical essays on the artist's work, this collection provides a full picture of the artist's views on art and culture, his working process, and the critical significance of his work both then and now.
7. The African diaspora—a direct result of the transatlantic slave trade and Western colonialism—has generated a wide array of artistic achievements, from blues and reggae to the paintings of the pioneering American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner and the music videos of Solange. This study concentrates on how these works, often created during times of major social upheaval and transformation, use Black culture both as a subject and as context. From musings on "the souls of black folk" in late-nineteenth-century art to questions of racial and cultural identities in performance, media, and computer-assisted arts in the twenty-first century, this book examines the philosophical and social forces that have shaped Black presence in modern and contemporary visual culture. Renowned art historian Richard J. Powell presents Black art drawn from across the African diaspora, with examples from the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe. Black Art features artworks executed in a broad range of media, including film, photography, performance art, conceptual art, advertising, and sculpture. Now updated and expanded, this new edition helps to better understand how the first two decades of the twenty-first century have been a transformative moment in which previous assumptions about race and identity have been irrevocably altered, with art providing a useful lens through which to think about these compelling issues.
8. African American women artists have fought both racism and prejudice. Their works, remarkably varied in style, expression and medium, reflect the sensitivity and integrity that is, in part, a product of this struggle. The art of 24 African American women are examined: Lois Mailou Jones, Shirley Woodson, Howardena Pindell, Vivian Browne, Norma Morgan, Freida High W. Tesfagiorgis, Elizabeth Catlett, Jewel Simon, Faith Ringgold, Emma Amos, Robin Holder, Cynthia Hawkins, Camille Billops, Delilah Pierce, Yvonne Catchings, Gilda Snowden, Malkia Roberts, Ann Tanksley, Alma Woodsey Thomas, Clementine Hunter, Viola Burley Leak, Mary Reed Daniel, Adell Westbrook, and Nanette Carter. Their work is allied to various schools of art, from expressionism to realism.
Contemporary African Art Since 1980 is the first major survey of the work of contemporary African artists from diverse situations, locations, and generations who work either in or outside of Africa, but whose practices engage and occupy the social and cultural complexities of the continent since the past 30 years. Its frame of analysis is absorbed with historical transitions: from the end of the postcolonial utopias of the sixties during the 1980s to the geopolitical, economic, technological, and cultural shifts incited by globalization. This book is both narrower in focus in the periods it reflects on, and specific in the ground it covers. It begins by addressing the tumultuous landscape of contemporary Africa, examining landmarks and narratives, exploring divergent systems of representation, and interrogating the ways artists have responded to change and have incorporated new aesthetic principles and artistic concepts, images and imaginaries to deal with such changes. Organized in chronological order, the book covers all major artistic mediums: painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, installation, drawing, collage. It also covers aesthetic forms and genres, from conceptual to formalist, abstract to figurative practices. Moving between discursive and theoretical registers, the principal questions the book analyzes are: what and when is contemporary African art? Who might be included in the framing of such a conceptual identity? It also addresses the question of globalization and contemporary African art.

Lady Gaga Criticizes Trump's Offensive Treatment of Women at Biden Rally
Lady Gaga is making one final, powerful plea to voters to cast their ballots for Joe Biden. On the eve of Election Day on Nov. 2, the singer campaigned for the former vice president in Pittsburgh. Before diving into her musical performance, she delivered an impassioned speech to voters at the drive-in rally, urging them to "be willing to do whatever it takes to stand up for what [they] believe in."
"Now is the time to show up and vote like this country depends on it because it does."
While the record number of early and mail-in ballots is certainly promising, Gaga explains around the four-minute mark that though it might be tempting, now is "not a time to feel confident and sit back." "Right now is time for action. It's time to muster all of our energy, every ounce of us, every ounce of hope and optimism and enthusiasm, every ounce of fear and frustration and discouragement, now is the time to show up and vote like this country depends on it because it does." She reminded the crowd that the election may come down to Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, so it is crucial to vote in large numbers.
The "Rain on Me" singer ended her speech with a strong message criticizing Donald Trump and his offensive treatment of women: "To all the women and all the men with daughters and sisters and mothers, everybody, no matter how you identify, now is your chance to vote against Donald Trump – a man who believes his fame gives him the right to grab one of your daughters or sisters or mothers or wives by any part of their bodies." Later in the evening, about an hour and 24 minutes into the rally, Gaga performed her hits "Shallow" and "You and I," weaving in passionate remarks to vote for Biden. Ahead, watch the rally in full and get a closer look at Gaga's appearances.

The paper attempts to empirically explain the vote shares received by political parties across municipalities in Greece during the national elections of 2000, in terms of demographic, educational, occupational and other factors under two territorial specifications: one based on the conventional sub-regional organization of the country, the other based on that spatial patterns of the residuals. It finds that by departing from the approach which relies on typical spatial dummies (a) the regression-fit improves considerably, and (b) a good number of spatial effects which might ordinarily be blurred within conventional partitions may be important and, at the very least, their distinct impact ought to be considered. The lesson is probably useful to readers interested in identifying through statistics, health, education, crime or other policy areas.

According to Panini America, the top 7 Clippers of All-time are: Chris Paul, Corey Maggette, Ron Harper, Bob McAdoo, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan. and Danny Manning.
Before we get started on their reasons why, let's give you a background on Panini America. They are the NBA's exclusive trading card partner since the 2009-10 season, with Kobe Bryant as their official company spokesman. Panini holds official licenses for more than just the NBA, as they also hold licenses for the NHL, NFL, and FIFA. With that said, let's take a look at their official list.
Chris Paul
"Paul was initially traded to the Lakers, but NBA commissioner David Stern vetoed the trade. Instead, Paul was eventually traded to the Clippers in one of the most important deals in franchise history. Paul was the distributor of the exciting "Lob City" Clippers, throwing alley-oops to the high-flying Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and others. With the Clippers he led the league in assists twice, and steals four times. He was an All-Star in all six seasons in Los Angeles."
Corey Maggette
"Maggette's most important contribution to the franchise was helping the team win its first playoff series since moving to Los Angeles. Maggette was a good scorer, averaging as much as 22 points per game one season. He was also known for his incredible athleticism, participating in the 2001 NBA Dunk Contest where performed a front flip before catching an alley-oop for a jam."
Ron Harper
"Harper overcame early injury troubles with the Clippers to become one of their most consistent players and top scorers. He averaged 19 points and almost 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game in five seasons with the Clippers. He helped lead the team to its first postseason since relocating to Los Angeles. Harper's 2015-16 Panini National Treasures Colossal Jersey Signatures card features an oversized jersey patch along with Harper's autograph."
Bob McAdoo
"McAdoo played for the very first iteration of the Clippers' franchise, the Buffalo Braves. The second overall pick in the 1972 NBA Draft, he won Rookie of the Year in his first season and then took the first of his three consecutive scoring titles in his second season. In 1974-75 he won the NBA MVP by averaging 34.5 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000."
Blake Griffin
"The top pick in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Oklahoma, Griffin had to sit out his entire rookie season due to an injury. But when he finally made his debut in 2010, he immediately showed why he was drafted so high by winning Rookie of the Year. Griffin's incredible dunking ability was paired with Chris Paul's passing to make the Clippers one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. He was a five-time All-Star, and three-time All-NBA second team player. He also won the 2011 Slam Dunk Contest."
DeAndre Jordan
"Jordan was a steal in the NBA draft for the Clippers, who snagged him with the 35th overall pick. He, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul formed the core of the "Lob City" Clippers. Jordan was a defensive standout for the Clippers as well as one of the best rebounders in the league. Known for his impressive, and often violent, dunks Jordan's presence in the paint was key for Los Angeles. He was a 2016 All-NBA first-teamer and he made the 2017 All-Star team. He twice appeared on the All-NBA First Team Defense."
Danny Manning
"One of the best college basketball players of all time, Manning was the first overall pick in the 1988 NBA Draft by the Clippers. He tore his ACL in his rookie season, but he would eventually recover and become a star for Los Angeles. He made two All-Star teams as a Clipper. Most importantly he helped lead the Clippers to the playoffs for the first time since moving from Buffalo to California. His 2017-18 Court Kings Sketches and Swatches card features his autograph alongside a sketch of him from his days in Los Angeles."
Keep in mind, the list is from a trading card company and a media analyst, so there will be some disagreements. With that said, what do you think of this overall list? Do you agree with it, or do you believe someone was left off?

Arctic Badlands
Can you spot the arctic hare? |
This run off channel has slowed to a trickle, but for a few weeks in the spring it'll roar with snow melt. |
I don't honestly know if calling this a rock is correct, or if its just highly compacted sediments. There doesn't seem to be much holding the sand and gravel together. The features are very fragile. |

Lemming populations go through a boom and bust cycle. We saw lots of them in 2011, but numbers were low over the past couple of summers. It looks like they are experiencing a boom again. That usually leads to a corresponding boom in the predatory animals and birds that rely on the lemmings for food.

Little Cornwallis Island, NWT 1994
Not long after arriving in the field a few weeks ago, I received a surprise e-mail with a motion blurred photo of me attempting to juggle (right). The picture was taken in 1994 on Little Cornwallis Island in what is now Nunavut, although it was still part of the Northwest Territories at the time. I was 19 in the picture and this was my very first field season in the Arctic. We were excavating Late Dorset sites and I kept a journal, but I didn't have a camera with me. Another student, Hugh, was an avid photographer and took several rolls of photos during the season. I hadn't heard from Hugh in more than a decade, but when I thanked him for sending the first photo, he sent me a folder packed with images from the summer. He said I could share them here, so here are the first few...

Snow Geese
The site we are working on now is between two rivers and we are surrounded by pairs of snow geese. The parents are molting and the babies can't fly so they spend the days walking up and down the river banks, feeding, and paddling in the water. The pairs of adults tend to travel in proximity to each other, but they are very defensive if another adult wanders too close. They charge, honk, and flap their wings to drive the interloper away.
The wings look particularly ragged as the geese molt. |
The river mud gives some of the adults red heads. At least, I hope its mud. Polar bears, foxes, and ermines often have red snouts, too, but for completely different reasons. |

Dorset Palaeoeskimo Shaman's Mask is Angry
This is the second of two complete wooden masks found at the Button Point site on Bylot Island, Nunavut. This one looks much more angry or aggressive than the other. You can see pegs on the upper lip and over the eyes where fur eyebrows and mustache would have been attached to the mask. The video below begins by zooming out of one of the suspension holes on either side of the mask where some sort of cord or rope would have been secured to tie the mask to the wearer's face. Both masks are in the collection of the Canadian Museum of History.

Lapland Longspur
Beautiful plumage |
Lapland Longspur Calcarius lapponicus |
This nest was built on the ground under the gnarled branches of an arctic willow. It has six eggs. |
The female is less flashy than the male, but she's good at giving you the stink eye if you get too close to her eggs. |

This is a post of a letter that went out to partners of The Insiders Fund, so there is not much new on this other than many of our holdings in the Fund skyrocketed today with a sudden reversal of trend, value stocks trumping growth. I wouldn't bet on this continuing but I'll gladly take it. Lincoln Financial was up as much as 17% before pulling back to close up 11.20%.
Nasdaq makes a new high and 30 million people file for unemployment. It all makes more sense when I heard this CNBC report today that the #1 usage of the Government stimulus checks is for stock trading. That goes a long way to explaining how Facebook surged $40 billion in value Thursday because they announced "new tools" for small businesses to set up online shops. I'm sure Amazon, Ebay, Walmart ,et all are quaking in their boots. Perhaps the stay at home economy stocks will lose some shine when the stimulus checks run dry. Then again, if there are still 30 million unemployed workers when the benefits run out, we might get another round of stimulus checks and new highs in the Nasdaq.
We are finding ways to participate in the market without chasing it. Option premiums are double what they were in February. We are writing puts in names of companies we would own if they had a significant drop, collecting the premium and using our large cash balance in a conservative way.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City Police Department is reviewing the policies and procedures necessary to implement a program that would allow officers to wear video cameras.
The cameras would record all of their interactions with the public. Those recordings could then be used as evidence in court.
"In the not too distant future, I think we'll be able to see police reports and everything documented. Why would we have an officer recount what a victim or a suspect has told you in an interview when we can say 'Here's the video. This is what their expression was, this is what their emotion was and this is the physical evidence that you saw on their body," Salt Lake Police Chief Chris Burbank said in a board meeting Tuesday.
The department is sharing their plans with defense attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union and its own civilian review board.
Burbank said the recordings produced by the cameras would be stored and maintained by a third party. The video files would be stamped with the date, time and the name of the officer involved.

The Port Guard decided she needed a 'beauty time-out' from work and went and did her hair! When she came back she found a boat with a body and a letter in it. The other occupant(s) were long gone. You're sure Kirich was on that boat. If she had only done her duty and kept watch you might have Kirich by now. He did leave a letter, which you read. Looks like he's heading to his father, TyBosso, in Khorum. You have to catch up with him before that happens!

SUMMARY. In recent years the aim of dairy cattle breeding was to increase milk production traits. At the same time, there is observed decrease of fertility traits of cows, and as a result, early culling of animals. This fact may be explained by an almost impossibility to determine the reasons of aggravated reproduction, and the difficulty of estimating them. One of the causes of a decrease in the fertility of cows is the decline in the quality of oocytes, capable of fertilization. Therefore, the study of the ratio between the number and quality of oocytes, capable of fertilization, and the level of milk productivity of cows, as well as the connection with polymorphic variants of the GH, PRL, and Pit-1 genes, is of scientific interest. The aim of our work was to determine the dependence of the quality and quantity of postmortem cow oocytes on the level of milk productivity and genetic profile for the genes GH, PRL and Pit-1. There was a high incidence of allele L of the GH gene – 0,942, allele A of the PRL gene – 0,889 and allele B of the Pit-1 gene – 0,710. The data obtained showed that a high yield of COC on average per ovary was obtained in a group of animals with the LL genotype of the GH gene (LL to LV +7,54 pcs, p ≤ 0,05), along with a significant amount of viable (LL to LV +4,5 pcs, p ≤ 0,05). In individuals with the AA genotype of the PRL gene, the number of isolated viable COCs on average per ovary was higher compared to those with the AB genotype (+4,84 pcs, p ≤ 0,05). An analysis of the association of polymorphic variants of the Pit-1 gene with the quantity and quality of COC did not reveal significant differences in the studied group of individuals. The assessment of the relationship of polymorphic variants of the studied genes with the indicators of breeding value (BV) yield, fat and protein showed that only animals with the LV genotype exceeded their peers with the LL genotype of the GH gene in milk fat and protein output by 8,3 kg (p ≤ 0,05) and 6,0 kg (p ≤ 0,01), respectively. For the remaining SNP of the analyzed genes, no significant differences were obtained.

You know what I think? Cookies, schmookies. And by Christmastime, I'm willing to bet most people are pretty cookie-d out. Thankfully, butter is just the gift that keeps on giving, even though where it "gives" tends to be the waistline, but we're still rocking the holiday fat pants here, so we can ignore that part.
Table of Contents
Compound butters have got to be one of the simplest ways to brighten someone's day. And they couldn't be easier to use. If you, the giver, keep them frozen til wrapping and handoff, they'll stay good and solid for just long enough to be transferred to another freezer or refrigerator.
Or, you could live somewhere like Northern Michigan where it has basically snowed every single day since Thanksgiving, and just wrap your butter in a pretty bow, leave it in the garage and it'll stay nice and cold til Kingdom Come. (I've been at my parent's place since Thanksgiving and sheesh! I forgot what it's like to live in a constant snowstorm)
A good part about compound butters is that you can make them with either fresh ingredients or good quality dried, and they'll take on the flavor no matter what. The butter in these photographs was made with a just-opened container of dried basil, minced whole garlic, and good-quality pre-grated Parmesan cheese. But you could go whole-hog and make it with Parmesan grated by your own hand, fresh basil from a windowsill (or your garden, should you live somewhere not in the Arctic) and it will taste just as nice.
You can also mess around with flavors, too, depending on what's in your fridge. Orange zest and minced rosemary is delicious together. So is sea salt, a few dashes of truffle oil, and freshly cracked pepper. You could go sweet with chocolate shavings and ground hazelnuts, for a sort of Nutella-butter.
Because this is butter we're talking about. It's like a gift from above to make the world easier to eat.
Parmesan Pesto Compound Butter
- 1 cup (2 sticks) room temperature butter
- 2 heaping tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 heaping teaspoons dried basil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- pinch of salt, to taste
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and either whip together using a mixer, or mix by hand until everything is fully incorporated.
- To wrap, place the butter in the center of a square of wax paper. Grasp the ends of the wax paper together at the top, and gently roll the butter back and forth until it forms a tube shape. Wrap the ends of the wax paper down around the butter and gently form it into a tighter tube, then tie off the ends with ribbon or pretty string.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for up to two months. Slice of and use as needed.
- Need some ideas? Compound butters makes great garlic bread bases. Or, drop a pat of melting butter atop a grilled steak. Sweeter versions can be spread on a toasted piece of baguette in the morning.


text: Two Roads Brewing Co. began the first in its series of launched non-alcoholic (NA) beers under the Two Roads brand name. The company, which is coming up on its 10th anniversary, has focused on innovating in the Northeast "beyond beer," creating hard seltzers, RTD spirits-based cocktails, and now its line of non-alcoholic beer offerings. Two Roads plans to roll out a number of NA beers over the coming months, starting with a non-alcoholic version of a Juicy IPA. According to Director of Marketing, Collin Kennedy, "an NA Juicy makes perfect sense from a trend standpoint. Juicy IPAs, and non-alc beers in general, continue to grow in popularity, making this entry a very logical first step." The brew is a 70-calorie, non-alcoholic liquid. According to CEO Brad Hittle, "Two Roads' secret weapon all along has been Master Brewer Phil Markowski. Phil's goal was to create an NA that would convince beer drinkers they are actually enjoying a full powered Juicy IPA, and to no one's surprise, he developed an NA that's 'two good to be true.'"

If you want to know how to tailor a resume to a job and why this is important then you should simply go through this article to get a good understanding on how you can do this
It is not sufficient to write a great resume job description or experience section. Besides this, you should customize your resume's job description (as well as the complete document) for the particular position you're applying for.
What it Means to tailor a Resume to a Job
For most employment opportunities, enrollment specialists want up-and-comers with a specific range of abilities to perform explicit undertakings.
By tailoring your resume, you show that you are capable of performing the duties and skills outlined in the job description.
A tailored resume is the one that demonstrates that you possess the abilities the employer is looking for and have used them in the past to get the best results at work.
Why You Should Tailor Resume
Recruiters prefer job applicants with appropriate professional experience. Therefore, having a strong job description on your CV (or work experience section) helps you land a job.
It is essential to tailor your resume to the position you are applying for because it demonstrates to the hiring manager that you possess the skills, experience, and qualifications necessary for the position.
By personalizing your resume, you show the employer how your experiences and qualifications match the job description.
How to Tailor Your Resume for a Job
Enhance for keywords
Review the list of keywords the employer used and decide if you can easily include them into your resume.
If the organization you're applying to uses an applicant tracking system (ATS), which automatically looks for specific keywords and evaluates whether your resume is relevant, this step is very crucial.
Use the same language that was used by the company in the job description.
Job seekers who take the time to ensure that the keywords on their resume match the job description are the ones who stand out from the competition.
Align Your Skills to The Job Description
Skills are the most important part of a resume because they define your competency.
Recruiters assist employers in shortlisting candidates from a pool of applicants by searching for people who possess the skills that are most competitive and suitable for the job posting.
Find the skills that are shared by the JD and master list by comparing the two.Give a list of them, listing them from most to least important.
Also, make use of this space to list tools and languages that are important to the job.
Start with the most important skills, then move on to the necessary technical knowledge, such as languages, tools, and soft skills.
Rearrange and Reorder Your Resume to Fit The Job Description
Utilize the information you have learned about the recruiter's requirements to write a resume that will get you shortlisted.
Re-compose the objective summary, work experience, and skills on your resume to make them relevant to the job role by identifying the gaps between them and the job description.
Matching the most prominent areas of your resume to the most important aspects of the job description is the first step in tailoring your resume to the requirements of the position.
Work on Your Summary
A hiring manager will see your summary section first because it is at the top of your resume.
Use it to highlight your most relevant skills and achievements based on the keywords you highlighted, if you have one.
To show that this is a personalized resume, you should also include the title of the position for which you are applying.
Include Your Achievements
You want to give points of interest:stories, examples, facts, and figures.
something that demonstrates to the hiring team that you can immediately succeed in this position.
Utilize quantifiable data in your experience section to further demonstrate your competence as a candidate.
Determine where you can add numbers to your bulleted list to demonstrate your impact at previous companies if you do not already have them.
Because they demonstrate the value you provide, hiring managers will be impressed by such accomplishments.
Review Your Resume
Take time to review your resume to be sure that you have covered every valuable part.
Do what the hiring manager would do once you are confident that your resume has covered everything the job description calls for.
You should check the compatibility of your summary section with the entire job description.
Next, make certain that each bullet point in your work history is relevant to the duties and requirements of the position.
You can also ask a friend or coworker to look over it and let you know if they see any alignment.

Academic leave of absence and discontinuation
If you need to take a break during your studies, you must apply for an academic leave of absence to have a guaranteed place on the programme after the break. If you make an unannounced interruption of studies, you have no guaranteed place to resume your studies.
Academic leave of absence
A leave of absence can be granted if you meet any of the special conditions stated in the Higher Education Ordinance. If you have a reason other than those specified in the statutes, your department decides whether the leave of absence can be granted. If you have been granted a leave of absence, you have a guaranteed right to return to your studies.
The decision will indicate when you are due to resume your studies. If you cannot return to your studies at that time, you can apply for a new leave of absence.
If you are denied a leave of absence, you can appeal the decision to the Higher Education Appeals Board (Överklagandenämnden för högskolan). The Uppsala University Registrar must receive the appeal within three weeks from the decision. State the decision you wish to appeal and its registration number. The appeal will be registered at Uppsala University and then sent to the Higher Education Appeals Board, which will decide on the appeal.
If you want to terminate your studies on a programme, you must report it to the department. If you want to terminate your studies on a course, you can report the discontinuation of studies via Ladok for students.
If you make an unannounced interruption of studies, without having applied for and being granted an academic leave of absence, you have no guaranteed place to resume your studies. If a place is available, you may be allowed to resume your studies.
Application for leave of absence
Contact your department to find out how to apply for a leave of absence or discontinuation. Several departments use digital forms, while others have forms that you download. A general form for applying for a leave of absence can be downloaded here:
