Prepared by Mazin Qumsiyeh, PhD * PROMISED LAND by Ahlam Shalhout I was taken to a foreign land. A land believed to be full of promise. I was told it bore fruits with the sweetest of nectar. Its soil so rich with olive branches of peace. Where the streets were paved with golden orange groves. The nectar though sweet to my tongue Brought tears to my bowels. The peace bearing olives were pressed To make oil of bullfights. Ole! * The Israeli minister of Environment joined the previous defense minister to quit the Zionist regime's government because it is becoming more extreme. With the addition of bar bouncer colonial settler Avigdor Lieberman (has a house in an illegal colony here in Bethlehem), the fascist government is now in good shape to take Israel to the next inevitable stage along. The same trend-line that Nazi Germany took step-wise in the 1930s. It is no wonder that so many more people are now drawing parallels between the two regimes with similar exclusivist ideologies (Nazism and Zionism). Thousands of Israeli Jews from Israel Shahak to Israeli General and Deputy Chief of Staff Yair Golan have already made the comparison to the consternation of the Zionist leadership. Ken |Livingstone's truthful statement taht JHitler supported Zionism early on is well supported by facts (see my own writing on the subject with quotes here. Pioneers to draw parallel of actions of Nazis and Zionists and speak out for justice for the native Palestinians were Holocaust survivors both inside "Israel" (like Shahak and Davis) and outside like Hajo Meyer and Hedy Epstein. Hedy just passed away and I knew her for almost 20 years as one of the most principled dedicated and hardworking individuals. I hesitated to ask her to join our wheels of justice bus tour in 2002 because of her age (then in her 80s) but she did not hesitate in accepting and she was just marvelous. She spoke out with authority and knowledge about the ethnic cleansing and the massacres committed in Palestine by Zionists. She also joined the boats trying to break the siege on Gaza. When she was in her late 80s she was strip searched and poked by Israeli security forces at Lod (renamed "Ben Gurion") Airport.

"The citizens of Israel should be worried about a rightist coalition that will bring Israel to very dangerous places," said opposition leader Isaac Herzog at an event Wednesday hosted by the Israel Democracy Institute, according to The Times of Israel.
Avigdor Liberman's appointment as Israel's defense minister was quickly condemned by opposition lawmakers, who warned of a severe fallout at home and abroad.
"The citizens of Israel should be worried about a rightist coalition that will bring Israel to very dangerous places," said opposition leader Isaac Herzog at an event Wednesday hosted by the Israel Democracy Institute, according to The Times of Israel.
Herzog, head of the center-left Zionist Union party, had been in talks to join Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government until the last-minute agreement with Liberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party Tuesday night scuttled that possibility.
The addition of Yisrael Beiteinu to the government boosts Netanyahu's majority from a narrow 61-seats to a comfortable 66 in the 120-seat Knesset.
"This government shares a worldview that will prevent us from moving forward," said Knesset member Tzipi Livni, also of the Zionist Union, at a conference at Ariel University, as reported by The Jerusalem Post. "A worldview that will isolate us in the world, and embolden BDS [Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel]."
Opposition leaders warned that Liberman's ascension to defense chief threatened progress on peace negotiations with the Palestinians, citing past statements in which he called Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas a terrorist. Netanyahu insisted he was still committed to pursuing peace.
Yair Lapid, head of the centrist Yesh Atid party, who once collaborated with Liberman to combat the influence of the ultra-Orthodox parties, slammed him for now joining them in the coalition and dropping demands for education reform and national service requirements.
"Signing the agreement and the entry of Yisrael Beiteinu into the coalition is not an achievement," Lapid said. "It is an embarrassing surrender, a betrayal of the public trust, and an abandonment of the pubic."
Meanwhile, Zionist Union Knesset member Amir Peretz said the coalition agreement was "an alliance between the most extreme elements of the Knesset." And the head of the left-wing Meretz party, Zehava Gal-On, reminded Israelis of past controversies surrounding Lieberman.
"Do you recall that this man got out of affairs for which he was interrogated only when the witnesses died mysteriously? Do you recall that every public role this man has held mysteriously led to his family getting rich?" she said, according to Channel 10.
An ocean away, New York Times columnist Thomas Friendman bemoaned Netanyahu's choice to partner with Liberman in an article that pointed to hand-wringing from a number of Israeli officials and publications. On Monday, The New York Times editorial board anticipated the move, warning:"Avigdor Lieberman's previous stints as Israel's foreign minister under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were a disaster for Israeli-American relations."
Netanyahu and Liberman's parties ran as a joint list in the 2013 election.

Israel has been "infected by the seeds of fascism," it should be "a red light for all of us regarding what's going on in the government."
By Luke Baker
A military affairs commentator interrupts his broadcast to deliver a monolog: I'm alarmed by what's happening in Israel, he says, I think my children should leave.
Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak warns of "the seeds of fascism." Moshe Arens, who served as defense minister three times, sees it as a turning point in Israeli politics and expects it to cause a "political earthquake."
The past five days have produced tumult in Israeli politics, since conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unexpectedly turned his back on a deal to bring the center-left into his coalition and instead joined hands with far-right nationalist Avigdor Lieberman, one of his most virulent critics.
Lieberman, a West Bank settler, wants to be defense minister. So on Friday, Netanyahu's former ally and confidant, Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon, resigned and quit Netanyahu's Likud party in disgust.
After a weekend to digest the developments, which are expected to be finalized in an agreement between Netanyahu and Lieberman on Monday to form the most right-wing government in Israel's 68-year-old history, commentators have tried to put it in perspective and found themselves alarmed.
Arens, who has served as defense minister, foreign minister and ambassador to the United States, and is one of Netanyahu's early political mentors, said the machinations would have far-reaching repercussions.
"Yaalon's ouster is likely to be a turning point in Israel's political history," he wrote in the left-leaning Haaretz newspaper. "A political earthquake is in the offing. It may take a little time, but it is coming. The law of unforeseen consequences is at work."
The decision to jettison Yaalon in favor of Lieberman was all too much for Roni Daniel, a veteran military affairs commentator on Channel 2.
"I cannot urge my children to stay here, because it is a place that is not nice to be in," he said in his monolog, going on to name a number of far-right politicians.
By bringing the Yisrael Beitenu (Israel Our Home) party into the fold, Netanyahu strengthens his coalition from 61 to 67 seats in the 120-member parliament.
Lieberman's brand of politics — pro-settlement, wary of peace negotiations, tough on the Palestinians — sits far more comfortably with Netanyahu and his right-wing partners than the center-left does.
But it means there is no countervailing voice in the government, and the person in charge of defense — the most important portfolio in Israel after the prime minister — is a civilian with little military experience.
At a time when the command of the Israel Defense Forces is already at odds with the government over policies it feels are too hard-line, Lieberman's appointment risks creating more tension between the political leadership and the military. Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are on edge too.
"What has happened is a hostile takeover of the Israeli government by dangerous elements," Ehud Barak, Israel's most decorated soldier and a former defense minister following his spell as head of government, told Channel 10 TV.
Israel has been "infected by the seeds of fascism," he said, adding that it should be "a red light for all of us regarding what's going on in the government."
Netanyahu sought to quell the rising criticism at a new conference on Sunday, describing himself as in charge and as having the nation's interests at heart.
"I'm looking out for the country's future. I have proved that as prime minister. I hear a lot of voices; many things are said in politics," he said.
"Ultimately, it's the prime minister who directs everything together with the defense minister, with the chief of staff, and apparently I haven't done such a bad job during my years as prime minister — that's the way it is going to be now."
Some allies leapt to Netanyahu's defense, saying the appointment of Lieberman was a sound decision and that he would offer "fresh thinking" as defense minister, but the focus of commentary was on the broader direction that Israel is taking.
Netanyahu has held power for more than 10 years, spread over four terms. In that time, politics has moved steadily to the right, with his coalition now hinging on support from Orthodox religious and ultra-nationalist parties.
There has been no progress in efforts to negotiate peace with the Palestinians, with Netanyahu saying Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is not the right partner because he rejects Israel's demand to recognize it as a Jewish state.
At the same time, the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians seek for their own state together with Gaza, continues apace.
Ties between Israel and the United States, its closest ally, have become strained, with Vice President Joe Biden saying last month that the U.S. administration felt "overwhelming frustration" with the Israeli government.
For Daniel, who is regarded as a stalwart of the right, something has changed fundamentally.
"It's over. I will not persuade my children. They will decide where they want to live. But if that once looked like a terrible tragedy to me, today it doesn't," he said.—Reuters

A final word to the Israeli Jewish society…
Don't you ever think that a Nazi or Nazi-like War Minister will benefit you or bring about more security, stability and peace to you. I strongly believe the opposite would happen.
Many Germans thought the same with regard to the Third Reich. We know the rest of the story.
And don't you ever think that Jewish morality wouldn't allow the emergence of a Jewish Hitler.

Heil Lieberman!
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine
Today a real Nazi star is rising in Israel's sky as Former extremist Minister Avigdor Lieberman is being groomed for becoming Israel's new War Minister.
Lieberman, an ex-club bouncer, reportedly with pedophile tendencies, has been promised the defense portfolio by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu following the dismissal of erstwhile Defense minister Moshe Yaalon.
The appointment of Lieberman at the helm of the Defense Ministry, many observers agree, marks an unprecedented Nadir in Israeli politics.
Some Jewish writers have already compared the dramatic ascendance of Lieberman to the country's top security post with the rise in Germany of the Nazi party in the late 1920s.
The man is seen as encapsulating a genocidal combination of both German Nazism and Soviet Stalinism. Stalin is reportedly Lieberman's ultimate role model. Moreover, It is widely thought that had millions of Jews not been exterminated by Nazism, Hitler, too would have become Lieberman's hero.
In 2006, this writer wrote the following, after Lieberman was elected to the Knesset:
"Lieberman is more than just "controversial" as the Zionist and Zionist-controlled media would portray him, mainly in order to evade facing the reality of his fascist-mindset. He is actually a dangerous demagogic politician and warmonger who advocates ethnic cleansing, genocide and a nuclear Armageddon. In fact, the man can be viewed as a Hitler-in-the-making with very little exaggeration. Lieberman's thuggish behavior is very well known even among Jews in Israel. In 1999, the former Moldovan immigrant attacked and savagely beat, some say bit, a neighbor's child for allegedly beating his own son.
The affair was publicized in Israel but eventually died down when Lieberman's star rose, first as a lawmaker representing Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union and second as cabinet minister in Ariel Sharon's government 2001-2003.
As a cabinet minister Lieberman espoused Nazi-like ideas so brazenly that then Foreign Minister Shimon Peres had to warn him that he might be summoned to The Hague to stand trial for crimes against humanity if he decided to effect his racist ideology.
On 8 March, 2002, the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot quoted him as saying the following during a cabinet meeting:
At eight o'clock, we bomb all commercial centers (in the occupied territories), at 12 o'clock we bomb all fuel stations, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, we bomb all the banks, and we keep the border crossings open ( to allow Palestinians to flee)."
Today, Lieberman remains unchanged, unreformed and unrepentant to put it very mildly. His bloodthirstiness, criminal-mindedness, and genocidal savagery are as affronting as ever.
That is why we may well be about to witness a new turning point in the annals of the Arab-Israel conflict, a turning point characterized by pornographic genocidal violence, probably unseen since 1948.
The genocidal thug is already threatening to murder Palestinian leaders, including Ismael Haniyya, the former elected Palestinian Prime Minister. He is also threatening, rather brashly, PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, telling him "you either heed our orders or will meet Yasser Arafat's and Ahmed Yasin's fate.' (Yasin was assassinated by Israel in Gaza on 22 March, 2004, and Arafat, who died on 11 November the same year, is widely believed to have been poisoned by Israeli agents.)
A final word to the Israeli Jewish society.
Don't you ever think that a Nazi or Nazi-like War Minister will benefit you or bring about more security, stability and peace to you. I strongly believe the opposite would happen.
Many Germans thought the same with regard to the Third Reich. We know the rest of the story.
And don't you ever think that Jewish morality wouldn't allow the emergence of a Jewish Hitler.

A comment from yesterday … "There will be peace only when there are no more Palestinians to make peace with".
The alternative 'Peace Plan ' … Let the neonazis kill again …
Meir Ettinger, the suspected head of a right-wing Jewish terrorist cell who is being held in administrative detention, will be released from jail.
The Lod District Court determined Tuesday that Ettinger would be released in June after the Shin Bet security service said it would not request an extension of his detention. But the Shin Bet also said it would impose restrictions on who Ettinger can come in contact with and what communities he can live in and visit, the Hebrew-language news website Walla reported .
Ettinger, the grandson of the slain far-right extremist Meir Kahane, has been held in administration detention without being charged since August 2015. The detention was extended in February.
Administrative detention allows Israeli authorities to hold suspected terrorists for six months at a time without filing formal charges. The detention, which is generally used against Palestinians, can be renewed indefinitely.
Ettinger, who spent several weeks in solitary confinement and has had limited contact with his family, was arrested for "involvement in violent activities and terrorist attacks that occurred recently, and his role as part of a Jewish terrorist group," according to Israeli authorities.
His arrest was linked to the firebombing of a home in the West Bank Palestinian village of Duma that left an infant and his parents dead. Three people were convicted in connection with the attack.
Shin Bet officials have said Ettinger heads a movement that also was responsible for the June arson of the historic Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes, and seeks to bring down the government and replace it with a Jewish theocracy.

Let's see if Bibi can wiggle his way out of this one ….
"In March 2015, King Salman has deposited eighty million dollars to support Netanyahu's campaign via a Syrian-Spanish person named Mohamed Eyad Kayali. The money was deposited to a company's account in British Virgin Islands owned by Teddy Sagi, an Israeli billionaire and businessman, who has allocated the money to fund the campaign Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu", Herzog cited a leaked Panama Paper.
Around eleven million documents were leaked from one of the world's most secretive companies, Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca as it worked for 40 years without suspicion. The leaked documents showed how Mossack Fonseca firm has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions and evade tax.
The documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca have been delivered to the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, which then shared them with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. Later, around 107 media organisations in 78 countries have been analysing the documents. Among the media agencies are the BBC, Panorama and UK newspaper the Guardian. The BBC said that it does not know the identity of the source.
However, the director of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), Gérard Ryle said the documents covered the day-to-day business at Mossack Fonseca over the past 40 years. He said it will be one of the biggest blows offshore,"I think the leak will prove to be probably the biggest blow the offshore world has ever taken because of the extent of the documents." The blow will extend offshore the world,even middle east leaders were linked to this company.
The documents show 12 current or former heads of state with at least 60 people linked to current or former world leaders in the data. It also contains secret offshore companies linked to the families and associates of Egypt's former president Hosni Mubarak, Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi, Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and Saudi Arabia's king Salman.
Moreover, the documents include the Icelandic Prime Minister, Sigmundur Gunnlaugson, who had a hidden interest related to his wife's wealth and is now facing calls for his resignation. The files also unveiled suspected money laundering ring with billion dollars involving close associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The documents also show how the company offered financial assistances and services how it helped business clients hide their wealth or to do illegal many transactions.

Republican presidential contender Donald Trump said Thursday he "totally disavows" white supremacist leader David Duke after the latter delivered a rant arguing that Jews controlled America.
"Antisemitism has no place [in] our society, which needs to be united, not divided," Trump said in a statement sent to media outlets, according to The New York Times.
Duke, a former grand wizard of the racist Ku Klux Klan group, used his radio program on Wednesday to lash out at Jewish Republicans who have opposed Trump's candidacy.
"I think these Jewish extremists have made a terribly crazy miscalculation, because all they're going to be doing by doing a 'Never Trump' movement is exposing their alien, their anti-American, anti-American majority position," Duke said, according to a report on the broadcast by the Anti-Defamation League.
"They're going to push people more into an awareness that the neocons are the problem, that these Jewish supremacists who control our country are the real problem, and the reason why America is not great," Duke added.
The ADL's CEO Jonathan Greenblatt called Duke's comments "as unsurprising as they are hateful," and said the "onus is now on Donald Trump to make unequivocally clear he rejects those sentiments and that there is no room for Duke and anti-Semitism in his campaign and in society. Mr. Trump can and should speak up now. If not, his silence will speak volumes."
In a later statement, the ADL "welcomed" Trump's disavowal.
"While no one should associate Mr. Trump's own views with David Duke's hatred," Greenblatt said after Trump's comments were published in the media, "it is vital for political leaders to use their bully pulpit to speak out against bigotry. We think it is important that Mr. Trump denounced the anti-Semitism of David Duke and has made clear that he disavows anti-Semitism."
Duke has praised Trump repeatedly, and urged his followers to vote for him.
Trump has denied he harbors anti-Semitic views, and has often pointed to his own close relationships with Jews, including his Orthodox-convert daughter Ivanka and Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Trump has faced scathing criticism from some quarters, including the ADL, for appearing to avoid criticizing the white supremacist leader in the past. Critics noted that Trump draws a great deal of his support in the Republican primary race from working-class whites, and charged that Trump was avoiding disavowing Duke, among other racist supporters, in order not to alienate supporters.
The Republican race all but ended this week after Trump's resounding victory in Indiana and the subsequent withdrawal from the race of his two remaining opponents, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Ohio Governor John Kasich.

CNN: "U.S. announces ceasefire for Aleppo after talks with Russia" –
A ceasefire is in effect in one of the most war-torn cities in Syria, the U.S. State Department said Wednesday. The United States and Russia concluded arrangements for a cessation of violence in Aleppo and surrounding areas, according to a department statement.
The two countries ended talks Tuesday and are closely monitoring whether the ceasefire sticks. Violence has decreased but continues, according to State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner.
Foreign Policy: "MSF Blasts U.S., Russia, Syria, and Saudi for Hospital Strikes" –
In a stinging rebuke, the president of French medical relief agency Medecins Sans Frontieres on Tuesday accused several governments, including the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Syria, of either directly attacking medical workers or participating in coalitions that have done so.
Speaking in a special session of the U.N. Security Council on the protection of health care workers, MSF leader Joanne Liu said four of the council's five permanent members — Britain, France, Russia, and the United States — "have, to varying degrees, been associated with coalitions responsible for attacks on health structures over the last year."
Those coalitions, Liu said, were responsible for strikes on medical targets in Afghanistan, Yemen, and Syria. But the attacks on medical workers reach far beyond those countries, endangering health workers in Iraq, South Sudan, and Somalia. The world, Liu warned, is "facing an epidemic of attacks on health facilities, impeding our ability to do our core work."
"Stop these attacks!" she urged the council's big powers. "You … must live up to your extraordinary responsibilities and set an example for all states."
The council's meeting took place as medical workers have come under renewed attack in Syria, where [Russian-backed] government aircraft last week bombed a hospital in Aleppo, killing [55] people, including three children and one of the city's few remaining pediatricians. On Tuesday, [US-backed] rebel rocket fire again struck a hospital and maternity clinic, killing three women, according to the official Syrian Arab News Agency.

Dozens of Arab families who were planning to build homes in the Jewish city of Afula have lost their leases to the land after an Israeli judge said that they illegally coordinated their bids.
"It's so unjust," "If this is not racism, so what is?"
Dozens of Arab families who were planning to build homes in the Jewish city of Afula have lost their leases to the land after an Israeli judge said that they illegally coordinated their bids.
Last November, hundreds of Jewish residents of Afula protested the prospect of Arab neighbors after Arab families won tenders to build 47 houses in the northern Israeli city. Demonstrators demanded Afula mayor Yitzhak Meron revoke the tenders, calling him a "traitor" and a "terrorist."
A group of Jewish families who bid and lost tenders for the land first complained to the Israel Land Authority, contending that the Arab bidders had been in coordination with one another. The ILA rejected the complaint saying that it was natural for bidders with personal connections to exchange information, said Haaretz.
The Jewish families then took their petition to a Nazareth court.
On Sunday April 24, a Nazareth judge ruled in favor of the Jewish families. He said that the Arab families had organized their bids so they weren't competing against each other and coordinated prices in a manner that "upset the market's natural balance," according to Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper.
Their coordination "seriously harmed the principle of equality, a principle that is at the foundation of tender law," the judge said.
Itai Cohen, a representative of the Jewish families told Maariv: "This is a day of celebration for Afula, and particularly for those who were concerned about the the fate of the city's Jewish makeup."
According to Abdullah Zoabi, a lawyer representing four Arab families, the judge did not rule that the Arab families were disqualified from trying to bid on the land again. Abdullah said he was waiting to learn whether the state would intervene and limit the bidding to Afula's Jewish residents.
Arab lawmakers are calling foul on the Nazareth court, saying the decision was driven by racism. Knesset Member Basel Ghattas told Maariv that the court's decision reflected the "spirit of racism that has been sweeping the country. These state institutions have always used planning and construction laws to deprive Arabs of their lands and rights, and the Nazareth District Court's decision gave a seal of approval to a petition that was lodged exclusively out of racist motives."
The Nazareth judge invalidated the entire group of tenders, saying that the entire bidding process was "defective" and there was no way to exempt those who did not coordinate. Zoabi's four clients were found not to have coordinated, but they lost their right to build anyway. He said he that the four families will appeal the decision to the Israeli High Court.
Iman Sharary told the Forward she was extremely disappointed to learn that the Nazareth judge disqualified her family building in Afula. She wanted to lease the land in Afula for her sons and their families, since land is at a premium in Yafia, the village where they grew up. She believes that the judge's decision was racially motivated.
"It's so unjust," she said. "If this is not racism, so what is?"
She said that she and her husband, Riad Sharary, did not coordinate their bid and that she had no idea who the other Arab bidders were. Now, she is looking for a new place for her sons to settle down.
"I'll find other places. It's not Afula or nothing," she said. "There are other places that are much less aggressive and much less humiliating and much less threatening."

Individual septic systems serve homes and businesses and are a principle method of waste water disposal. These systems effectively return the effluent, or waste water, into the ground where it will be naturally "treated" and returned to an aquifer to be used and reused. Properly maintained septic systems impose little adverse effect on the environment. This is an important issue for property owners, considering the high costs associated with having to repair or replace old or damaged systems. Operation of a well-functioning septic system will eliminate potentially adverse effects on your property and surrounding environment.
The first component in the septic system is the septic tank. The primary purpose of the septic tank is to permit separation of solids, grease, oil and scum by sedimentation and flotation. A secondary purpose is to afford an opportunity for the removed material to "anaerobically" digest to reduce its volume, and possibly to change its character (such as breaking down grease). A third purpose of the septic tank is to provide capacity to hold a few years' accumulation of sludge, scum and, as necessary, kitchen waste solids and greases, thereby requiring pumping or cleaning only infrequently.
The second component in the septic system is the distribution network and disposal field. The disposal field accepts the effluent after it has been sent through a distribution box or header pipe which distributes it evenly to a series of perforated distribution lines, or laterals. The field allows the effluent to filter through rock and select materials (sand) where impurities and harmful microorganisms are removed.

Yes, this headline is a question because I'm not sure I know the answer. I know the right answer for me personally but I'm not sure there is a right answer that applies to everyone or everything.
The subject of the debate is Twitter followers. Are numbers important? Is more always better? Should you try one of the many automated services that promise to get you thousands of followers in the matter of days or even hours? The answer really lies in your purpose. Well, first, do you have a purpose? Just kidding, in a way. It's OK to jump on Twitter to figure out what it is. You will likely fall into one of two camps: love it and immediately become engaged and even addicted, once you meet the many intriguing and intelligent folks who are using Twitter then visualize where it can take you, your career, your business and/or your personal contacts (now you have your purpose!). Or, you'll hate it and see it as a waste of time. If so, this debate isn't for you.
I'm approaching Twitter rather methodically and looking for like-minded people who post comments and news stories that help my daily life and career. Thus, I do not refollow everyone who follows me. I'm not being snobby, just selective. And I will not use an automated follow system. However; let's consider a franchise QSR such as El Pollo Loco or Dominos Pizza. Wouldn't they want as many followers as possible? After all, everyone eats, right?
On the surface, that's my answer but I'd love to hear other opinions and options I may not have thought about.

17 Comments on "Quantity vs. Quality?"
As someone who is a fellow addict like Gini (hi, Gini, my name is Julio, and I am a Twitter Addict too), I do believe it's always Quality, Qaulity, Quality. I don't care much for numbers and I always tell my followers to @ me at time, since I love to build relationships with them. Nice post.
Answer: BOTH. As long as you know why you're there in the first place.
Quantity can help you if you're an @aplusk type and you want to eventually use your reach to make a difference, which he did during the Oprah stuff.
Quality helps me because I'm here on Twitter to make connections with like-minded people and eventually maybe sorta sell stuff. But first and foremost to make connections.
Great blog and keep it up!
Definately quality. I like the ratio that Bill Green (@mtlb) shared with me recently. Essentially it is that your number of those you are following shouldn't exceed the number of updates you have.
I have to go with quality. (Probably why I block so many that follow me for merely marketing reasons. (Following 3,000, followers 150, three updates? And often a profile pic of a cute young girl. Gimme a break.) I would rather have a couple hundred peeps that catch my attention with informative, interesting, engaging, relavent tweets than a thousand that transmit dreck. (That's a technical word in some language I think.) Most, but not all are relevent professionaly. Some just capture my imagination. Some make me laugh. Some just know a darn good bottle of wine. All worth a follow.
IMHO, it's really all the same. Anyone with a large number of followers that are not engaged (and not reading the posts anyway) in reality only has a small number of actual followers. Unless you are Shaq or A. Kutch, driving followers as a number has little value. Tools like the click tracking at Bit.ly make it pretty easy to see how engaged your follower are…
From @ginidietrich, What do you think? Quantity vs. Quality? http://bit.ly/175QQS [I'm all about quality, but I think it's an indiv. thing]

Daniel Deronda (Paperback)
With an Introduction and Notes by Dr Carole Jones, freelance writer and researcher.
George Eliot's final novel, Daniel Deronda (1876), follows the intertwining lives of the beautiful but spoiled and selfish Gwendolene Harleth and the selfless yet alienated Daniel Deronda, as they search for personal and vocational fulfilment and sympathetic relationship.
Set largely in the degenerate English aristocratic society of the 1860s, Daniel Deronda charts their search for meaningful lives against a background of imperialism, the oppression of women, and racial and religious prejudice. Gwendolen's attempts to escape a sadistic relationship and atone for past actions catalyse her friendship with Deronda, while his search for origins leads him, via Judaism, to a quest for moral growth.
Eliot's radical dual narrative constantly challenges all solutions and ensures that the novel is as controversial now, as when it first appeared.
About the Author
George Eliot was the pseudonym for Mary Anne Evans, one of the leading writers of the Victorian era, who published seven major novels and several translations during her career. She started her career as a sub-editor for the left-wing journal The Westminster Review, contributing politically charged essays and reviews before turning her attention to novels. Among Eliot s best-known works are Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, in which she explores aspects of human psychology, focusing on the rural outsider and the politics of small-town life. Eliot died in 1880.
Keith Carabine, Senior Honorary Research Fellow, University of Kent at Canterbury, and Chair of the Joseph Conrad Society (UK), is the author of The Life and Art: A Study of Conrad's 'Under Western Eyes' (1996) and the literary editor of Wordsworth Classics. He has also written on Sherwood Anderson, Dickens, Dostoevsky, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Wright Morris and Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Should we care about Carl Lundström's xenophobia?
The notorious torrent tracker The Pirate Bay was originally established with the support of Carl Lundström, who continues to hold a significant stake in the enterprise and support it financially. Carl Lundström is also a supporter of far-right anti-immigrant parties and was allegedly involved in an violent attack against three Latin Americans. Now a well known online computer magazine suggests that geek sympathies for The Pirate Bay have kept reporters from covering this issue. Wired's coverage only says that Lundström's
detractors point to a past in nationalist politics. The Pirate Bay's defenders dismiss the questions as being nothing more than a slur, but the attacks and defense beg a fundamental question: can the views of a financial supporter taint an otherwise neutral organisation?

The authors estimated the prevalence of taking action to reduce intake related to actual sodium consumption among 2970 nonpregnant US adults 18 years and older with self-reported hypertension by using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2004. Adjusted multiple linear regression assessed differences in mean sodium intake by action status. A total of 60.5% of hypertensive adults received advice to reduce sodium intake. Of this group, 83.7% took action to reduce sodium. Action to reduce sodium intake differed significantly by age, race/ethnicity, and use of an antihypertensive. The mean (±standard error) sodium intake among hypertensive adults was 3341±37 mg and differed by sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, and body mass index (P<.05), with the lowest intake among adults aged 65 years and older (2780±48 mg). Mean intake did not differ significantly by action status either overall or by subgroup except for one age category: among patients 65 years and older, mean intake was significantly lower among those who took action (2715±63 mg) than among those who did not (3401±206 mg; P=.0124). Regardless of action, mean intake was well above 1999–2004 recommendations for daily sodium intake and about twice as high as the current recommendation for hypertensive adults (1500 mg).

Bleeding Edge 077: CES 2007 Video: Hands-on with Ojo Video Phones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, Cameras, CES, CES 2007, Features, Household, Videocasts
We got a chance to speak with Jim McLoughlin of Ojo, maker of low-latency video phones. For $10 a month, you can speak to anyone else with an Ojo in unlimited amounts. Useful perhaps for breadwinners frequently traveling and missing their families, the system will likely be purchased in pairs, as you really have to know someone with an Ojo to make use of it. The video includes prices, but we were sad to learn it wouldn't allow users to communicate with, say, MSN Messenger users through video chat. It would make a great device for someone without a full-blown computer, if only.
DivX And The Future Of The Digital Home
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Home Entertainment, Movies, Software
Gear Live reader Davis Freeburg writes in:
As early adopters who've downloaded a DivX movie file know, their video file is second to none. There is no unreasonable wait, the quality is fantastic and it's highly portable throughout the home. Born in the wild wild west of the P2P revolution, DivX has recently tried to shake their bad boy image for a more corporate look with a recent IPO. In an interview with Jordan Greenhall, DivX's CEO, he discusses the impact that piracy has played on their negotations with the studios, the future of DivX on the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii and his plans to bring media convergence into the digital home.
One of our favorite quotes from the piece is Jordan talking about what it could mean if Microsoft added DivX playback to the Xbox 360:
The pressure would certainly be on and then it's a matter of the politics of each organization. I would argue that on a pure market competitive basis, if Microsoft stepped up and put DivX on the Xbox, they would have a significant competitive advantage and the onus would be on to reduce that advantage by licensing DivX as well, but that doesn't imply however the Sony would have the forethought to do it.

Tom Bihn Interview
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Wearables, Features
Tom Bihn sent us a couple of their bags to review, and also one to give away to one of our readers. While we haven't yet completed reviewing the bags (they will be put to the test in a couple of weeks at E3), I can say that people have stopped me to ask where I got the bag on the streets. We were able to sit down with Tom to discuss a few aspects of the company and what makes their bags unique. The questions are actually from you guys, as we received a bunch of email when we were running the bag giveaway.
What are a few things about a Tom Bihn bag that sets it apart from another?
All of our bags are completely American made. We are very proud of that. They are very streamlined, with appealing aesthetics with highly functional designs. Looking at them, you will also see that we use bold colors in our materials. One of the nicer things, though, is that the bags are extremely durable. We had one customer actually complain to us that his bag, after seven years, has yet to wear itself out!

Honda's attempt to right-size its development schedule and cope with the economic downturn apparently extends beyond the cancellation of the next NSX. According to Autocar, HoMoCo is right-sizing its plans for the next two years, and that includes rethinking the development of a range of rear-wheel-drive Acuras, a new V8, a convertible based on the CR-Z and the S2000's successor.

Comic Books, Film, TV
Start Time: 08:00PM End Time: 10:00PM
After years as the most famous writer you'd never heard of, Neil Gaiman's recent Hollywood successes have propelled him into celebrity orbit. After co-writing the films "Beowulf" and "Stardust," the animated version of his novella, "Coraline," was released in 2009 to unanimous rave reviews. But Gaiman has been a prominent and prolific creator of comics, novels, film, journalism and poetry for more than two decades. He created the best-selling DC Comics series "Sandman," which was the first comic ever to receive a major literary award. "The Graveyard Book," published in 2008, received the Newbery Medal, the top prize for children's literature. At the podium, Gaiman shares stories of imagination and urges audiences to take note of the creative ideas that linger in each of us.

Stroke 9
Feel the Summer
Feel the summer approaching on the wind like a forest fire
and although I want it here the Spring looks like a lonely liar
all the new life that sprung from the cold Winter last year
everything that's over with replaced by all these different fears
but I will embrace them with wide eyes
Now I must tell you goodbye
and live with everything that I
have done 'til now and hope for the best, goodbye.
Everything I thought I was it's time to put it all aside
I told myself that I was going to try to change I guess I lied
now I'm in a different place where I can finally think
Do I need to explain myself or do I need another drink
now I will embrace this place in time
Although it hurts it's times like these that make life worth living
so please help me understand that nothing ever goes as planned
so I can turn it around again
I smell the Winter approaching in the air like an avalanche
I don't really want it here but this could be my only chance
a chance to take a new approach
to try a different way
before everything else is gone there's not much more for me to say so...

There wasn't much further 007 could go as far as sci-fi wizardry and fantastic characters after the cartoonish MOONRAKER that had seen James Bond propelled into space.
What was called for was a `back to basics' approach that emphasized realism, exotic locations, less gadgetry, down to earth villains and a return to the ruthlessness that Roger Moore had exhibited in movies such as THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. What better way for the filmakers to return Bond to his roots than to tap into original Fleming source material.
Taking characters and situations from not only the Fleming novel FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, but also the keel-hauling sequence from LIVE AND LET DIE writers Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson wove together a complex and enticing cold war spy drama that included some of the staple setpieces underwater and on the slopes that had served the character so well in the past.
As the late John Brosnan noted in his review of the movie this production is essentially one long chase, but in the one solitary tip of the hat to the fantastic plots of the previous two movies, here the stakes could not be higher. Those stakes are the fate of all the British nuclear missiles in the polaris fleet. Forget the kidnapping of a few nuclear warheads in previous movies, here the balance of nuclear brinksmanship is at risk and ultimately the fate of the world.
This movie sports several of my favorite characters from the entire EON canon. Topol plays a brilliant, amiable Greek smuggler named Columbo and the good natured trust and friendship between him and Roger Moore's James Bond is clearly evident in every scene they share together.Read more ›
Where this product fails, however, is in living up to the standards this Special Edition series has set for itself. Like other entrants in this series, FYEO has audio commentaries by the filmmakers. As with all the Special Editions, the Ian Fleming Society, perhaps the most 'serious' of the Bond Fan Clubs, provides a narrator who ties together the sometimes meandering recollections of various memebers of the cast and crew. Unfortunately on this outing, the narrator's voice is heard far more than the filmmakers', and what the narrator has to say is often inane.
For instance, something on the order of five minutes is given to a painfully detailed discussion of the Citroen car used in the chase scene, and its place in 20th century Europe. Interesting stuff for trivia buffs, but it hardly lends useful, direct information about the film itself.
Frequently, too, the narrator seems eager to do rather arbitrary comparisons between this Bond and another. It's interesting, in its way, but it prevents us from hearing primary source information from the filmmakers.Read more ›

Yan Shun is a fictional character in Water Margin, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. He ranks 50th of the 108 Liangshan heroes and 14th of the 72 Earthly Fiends. He is nicknamed "Multicoloured Tiger".
The novel describes Yan Shun as a man with red hair, a yellow beard, round eyes, long arms and a wide waist. Nicknamed "Multicoloured Tiger", he excels in martial arts and the use of the saber. He is from Laizhou (萊州; around present-day Yantai, Shandong).
Joining Liangshan[edit]
Yan Shun was initially a trader but decided to become a bandit instead after making losses in trading. He leads a group of bandits based on Mount Qingfeng (清風山; in present-day Qingzhou, Weifang, Shandong), alongside Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou. When Song Jiang is on his way to Qingfeng Fort (清風寨; near Mount Qingfeng) to take shelter under his friend Hua Rong, he passes by the bandit stronghold along the way and is ambushed and captured by the bandits, who intend to use his heart and liver to make soup. Just as he is about to be killed, Song Jiang sighs, "Am I, Song Jiang, destined to die just like that?" The three bandit chiefs overhear him and are stunned when they hear his name, because they have heard of Song Jiang's reputation as a generous and chivalrous hero who helps those in need, and have been wanting to meet him. After Song Jiang confirms his identity, the three bandit chiefs immediately releases him, apologise to him, and treat him like an honoured guest. In the meantime, Wang Ying has just kidnapped a woman and wants to rape her. After she reveals herself to be the wife of Liu Gao, the official in charge of Qingfeng Fort, Song Jiang sympathises with her and manages to persuade Wang Ying to let her go.
Song Jiang leaves the stronghold and makes his way to the fort to join Hua Rong. While touring the fort later, he is recognised by Liu Gao's wife, who repays his kindness with evil by accusing him of attempting to rape her. Liu Gao believes his wife and has Song Jiang arrested and imprisoned. Hua Rong intervenes and attempts to free Song Jiang by force, but is lured into a trap by Huang Xin and ends up being captured too. Liu Gao then orders Huang Xin and his soldiers to escort Song Jiang and Hua Rong as prisoners back to Qingzhou (in present-day Shandong) for the higher-ranked officials to decide their fates. Along the way, Yan Shun, Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou lead their bandit followers to ambush the convoy and rescue Song Jiang and Hua Rong. The bandits eventually defeat the government forces and capture Qingfeng Fort, after which they travel to Liangshan Marsh together to join the outlaw band there.
Campaigns and death[edit]
Yan Shun becomes one of the leaders of the Liangshan cavalry after the Grand Assembly of the 108 Stars of Destiny. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by Emperor Huizong. During the campaign against the rebel leader Fang La, Yan Shun is assigned to attack Black Dragon Ridge (烏龍嶺; northeast of present-day Meicheng Town, Jiande, Hangzhou, Zhejiang), where he sees Ma Lin die at the hands of Fang La's general Shi Bao. Eager to avenge his fallen comrade, Yan Shun fights with Shi Bao but is no match for the latter and dies after Shi strikes him with his spiked mace.

Breathe Lyrics
Artist: W.A.S.P.
Album: Still Not Black Enough
You don't have to hear my heart beat
All you need is to look into my eyes
And tell me I'm the one you heart needs
I'n the only one you run to in the night
Oh let me burn the words forever mine
Across your heart, across your mind
Take your hands and feel my heart beat
Come and let me feel it in your eyes
All you have to do is touch me
Oh and lay your flame across my fire
Oh let me spread your wings and come inside
And take your heart and make you mind
Come and lay down your heart on me
All that I wanna feel is
Breathe in me
Lay down your heart on me
Feel you inside of me
Breathe on me
Come and take me on, take me down
Oh take me all the way
There's only one way
Only one thing I need, all I need
Take me way down
Come and lay down on me
such a beautiful song!

This paper describes the semiglobal matching (SGM) stereo method. It uses a pixelwise, mutual information (Ml)-based matching cost for compensating radiometric differences of input images. Pixelwise matching is supported by a smoothness constraint that is usually expressed as a global cost function. SGM performs a fast approximation by pathwise optimizations from all directions. The discussion also addresses occlusion detection, subpixel refinement, and multibaseline matching. Additionally, postprocessing steps for removing outliers, recovering from specific problems of structured environments, and the interpolation of gaps are presented. Finally, strategies for processing almost arbitrarily large images and fusion of disparity images using orthographic projection are proposed. A comparison on standard stereo images shows that SGM is among the currently top-ranked algorithms and is best, if subpixel accuracy is considered. The complexity is linear to the number of pixels and disparity range, which results in a runtime of just 1-2 seconds on typical test images. An in depth evaluation of the Ml-based matching cost demonstrates a tolerance against a wide range of radiometric transformations. Finally, examples of reconstructions from huge aerial frame and pushbroom images demonstrate that the presented ideas are working well on practical problems.

We say: Humanae Vitae has been a serious impediment to Catholic authority. It has created a disabling chasm between the hierarchy and the faithful.
Faith and Justice: The mystery of evil is beyond my comprehension. I have concluded that Jesus came not to explain suffering but to weep and suffer with us.
Grace on the Margins: Our zeal for Pope Francis should not blind us to the connections between Catholic doctrine and the suffering of the poor.
Manila: After waiting overnight in the street for papal Mass, Jennifer Roman says "It's worth the wait. It's like a fiesta!"
Philippines: One organization is helping communities work together on the issues of climate and housing rights.
NCR Today: Though it might disconcert some, for Francis and the church addressing global climate change is clearly a religious issue.
During a meeting with families, the pope praised his predecessor Paul VI, who wrote Humane Vitae and "had the strength to defend openness to life."
NCR Today: Filipinos came in droves to line streets of Manila, where Pope Francis' motorcade breezed from the airport to the nunciature.
My NCR colleague Joshua J. McElwee reported this morning that during the plane trip from Sri Lanka to the Philippines, Pope Francis said he plans on declaring Blessed Junipero Serra (1713-1784) a saint in September. Serra, a Spanish Franciscan priest and missionary, created 21 missions throughout California.
