Hiring top-performing employees is only half the battle—the other half is knowing how to retain them long term.
Many companies struggle with reducing employee turnover. They cannot pinpoint reasons that lead to employee departure, making it harder for them to reverse the turnover tide favorably.
As always, Crazy Egg has got your back.
Today, we'll discuss employee retention, along with a list of carefully curated tips and strategies to help you improve retention and keep your workplace thriving.
Why Employee Retention Is So Important
Have you ever walked into a workplace that has more empty chairs than employees? Even imagining it feels depressing. Or one where half the workforce has been there for less than six months?
This signals an employee retention problem within the company, which can hinder its overall growth and progress.
Employee retention indicates an organization's ability to keep its employees from leaving. You have to repeatedly invest in your employee experience to keep talent content and engaged, keeping employee turnover in check.
Put simply, the higher your employee retention rate, the lower your employee turnover rate.
But why is employee retention so crucial for an organization's success? Here are five main reasons why:
1. To Ensure Consistency
You cannot have a thriving company culture if your work environment is practically a revolving door with employees coming and going every other week.
Your business will lack momentum. Managers will be forced to spend significant time training new employees instead of focusing on larger goals. Employees won't give their best.
On the other hand, the longer your employees stay at the job, the more experienced and skilled they get. This will eventually translate to greater ROI as quality employees mean quality work, which means happier clients.
2. To Create a Healthy Corporate Culture
Experts have found that great coworkers are the number one thing people like about their job.
This also means your company culture will take a serious hit if your employees cannot develop strong bonds with other team members. But how is one supposed to establish camaraderie when your coworkers keep quitting?
We aren't saying losing employees to other opportunities from time to time is always bad. It's totally okay–and expected! The problem arises when this becomes the rule rather than the exception.
Employee retention encourages camaraderie among co-workers. The more the camaraderie, the quicker your employees will help each other out and extend necessary support.
In short, employees like to work at places where they like and enjoy their colleagues and have a comfortable work environment.
3. To Improve Employee Morale
Seeing your work friends and peers leave over and over creates a poor work environment. It's why low employee retention impacts your workforce's overall morale negatively.
However, if you prioritize employee retention and build a team of dedicated and confident employees, you'll find your workforce:
- Becoming more comfortable and less stressed
- Having a stronger sense of belonging and community
- Developing better coworkers relationships
- Contributing more to company culture and facilitating business growth
- Enjoying long-term success and working hard
Plus, when an employee feels valued, they are less likely to look for other job opportunities.
4. To Reduce Acquisition and Training Time
Anyone in the human resources department knows that high turnover eats time and kills productivity.
The whole hiring process can be very tedious: Find new candidates who are qualified and reliable. Set up multiple interviews. Offers and negotiations. Spend another few days onboarding the employees. Wait another two weeks before they can start. Then spend days or weeks training new employees.
Too. Much. Work.
Contrarily, if you focus on retaining employees, you can cut down on time spent on the above tasks and instead focus your energy on something else—more productive tasks that aid your business's growth.
Employee retention can also help you acquire new employees.
You see, retention boosts morale, which makes your employees happy and satisfied. And when your employees are happy, they turn into an effective in-house referral tool that can bring you a steady stream of quality candidates.
It's a win-win situation for you.
5. To Save Money
Turnover can also be quite expensive.
You may already know how quickly the hours can rack up when hiring and training employees, especially when the position goes unfilled for a long time. Moreover, when employees constantly move in and out of your company, it ends up increasing costs associated with:
- Severance or other exit packages
- Recruitment and talent acquisition
- Hours spent on interviews, onboarding, and training
- Lost productivity
- Frequent errors
- Downgraded customer service
Here's a shocker for you: Depending on the role you're replacing, turnover costs for a low-paying job cost about 16% of the employee's annual salary, which jumps to 20% and over 213% for mid-range and high-level positions, respectively.
We don't need to emphasize how catastrophic it can be for your business when you end up paying this cost time and time again. Luckily, employee retention strategies can help reduce these expenses drastically.
Employee Retention Case Study: CarMax
You don't have to take our word on the wonders of employer retention—just take a look at CarMax.
Remember the horrible 2008 recession that caused a global financial meltdown? Many companies were cutting employee benefits, perks, and recognition programs—some were even forced to lay off employees without notice.
But not CarMax.
Instead of following suit, CarMax's president and CEO, Tom Folliard, invested even more in employee programs. The company increased its employee training and development programs, helping existing employees get raises and promotions.
They also asked the employees for their own ideas on improving the customer experience—ideas CarMax rewarded with robust employee recognition programs.
Adopting this employee-centric strategy struck gold. Currently, CarMax sales are up 116% in eight years.
Choosing your human resources over money pays off in the long run.
Quick Tips to Improve Employee Retention Today
Read on as we list some of the best tips to keep your retention rates up.
Start With New Hires
About 20% of new hires leave within the first 45 days of employment.
They are either not a good fit with the company culture, or the role didn't live up to their expectations. Either way, this doesn't paint a good picture of your company.
Other times, you may decide to fire a new hire because they weren't a good fit. This isn't good for your hiring budget, considering how expensive hiring is.
Precisely why you need to hire the right people from the start.
You can use human resource software like BambooHR or Zenefits that provides excellent solutions to help you effectively recruit and onboard employees. These tools can also help you identify skill gaps in your organization and predict future business requirements.
You should also be completely transparent and honest about what the position entails. After all, interviews are a two-way process—you interview the candidate, the candidate interviews you. Be upfront about the realities of the job and the company culture.
Offer Competitive Compensation
Employees prefer higher-paying employers.
If your pay rates don't match your competitors, you'll have a hard time attracting quality employee talent and retaining your current employees.
Find out what your competitors pay for similar positions. You can build a league table listing what similar companies pay for what positions and where you rank. Sites like Glassdoor can be an excellent starting point to find this data.
You don't have to offer the highest salary out there, but it shouldn't be too low, either. If you can't spare that kind of money right away, try to think of other ways to encourage your staff to stay put–such as more benefits or perks.
Offer Competitive Benefits & Perks
No, we don't mean fancy five-course lunches, unlimited holidays, or monthly raises.
Contrary to popular belief, you can offer an employee benefits package tailored to your business size, budget, and business objectives. The key is to prioritize benefits that will make a tangible difference in your employees' lives. You can always add the fancy stuff later when you have money to spare.
Here's a list of benefits or perks you can consider offering:
- Flexible Working Hours: Offering flexible working hours for non-client-facing roles is a substantial perk employees will appreciate. Most employees prefer flexible hours as it lets them manage their childcare commitments and have a more flexible schedule.
- Work-From-Home Opportunities: This low-cost perk goes very far with new and existing employees. Like having flexible work hours, being able to work remotely lets your employees have a better work-life balance and better mental health without negatively affecting productivity. It also saves on commute costs and time.
- Childcare Vouchers: Childcare is expensive. Your employees with families will stick with your company for longer if you offer childcare vouchers to help them with the cost.
- Lunch Program: Lunch hours typically involve buying, prepping, or eating food. Yep, boring. But when you offer a tasty and healthy in-house lunch solution, your employees will get to enjoy delicious food to recharge their energy levels, as well as communicate with other co-workers, creating a healthy work atmosphere.
- Health Coverage: In the US, offering healthcare benefits is a must. But if you live elsewhere, having some form of healthcare can be very effective in retaining employees.
Long-Term Strategies for Effective Employee Retention
Sometimes even generous compensation cannot persuade employees to stay.
You should focus on creating a positive work environment where everyone feels appreciated and motivated. Keeping this in mind, let's take a look at some long-term strategies to improve employee retention.
Fine-Tune Your Internal Communication
Effective internal communication that gives employees easy access to the right information and resources can be a real game-changer.
Employees spend approximately 2.5 hours a day looking for information to complete daily tasks. For more context, this is more than an entire week lost each month.
Naturally, when information doesn't flow easily, employee frustration rises.
The first step to streamline communication is getting the right technology to manage content across your organization. Internal communication technology, along with other tools, is great for eliminating bottlenecks and simplifying communication.
Remember, internal communication should be a two-way dialogue: encourage your employees to give feedback and actively contribute any ideas they may have to improve your internal communication strategy.
Invest in Employee Recognition
While annual performance reviews may be dying out in some sectors, recognizing employee accomplishments is still crucial.
Employee recognition should be an ongoing effort on your part, where you make your employees feel appreciated and valued. A study conducted by Gallup found that employees are twice as likely to quit their jobs within the next year if they feel overlooked by their employers.
Plus, investing in employee recognition can reduce employee turnover, boost productivity, and create loyal and trusting relationships between you and your employees.
However, saying a generic "well done" doesn't work anymore.
You have to elaborate. Give your employees specific examples of what they did well and how it helped your business. You can also send out emails to let others know about an employee's accomplishment.
Both tactics can reinforce the actions that led to a good outcome, creating performance standards for other workers.
Build a Positive and Thriving Company Culture
You probably already expected this.
Your company culture represents your core values and how they reflect on your work environment. Ultimately, this affects how your employees feel about your brand.
A good workplace goes beyond how comfortable the furniture is, how spacious the cubicle is, or how well the office is decorated. It's your people and how they operate that matter most.
The Workplace Bullying Institute found that a staggering 60.3 million Americans have been bullied at work. What makes matters worse is that only 29% of them received an adequate response from their employer.
Needless to say, this isn't healthy. You need to create a safe workplace with zero tolerance for any kind of office bullying, harassment, or misbehavior.
Create a company culture that's inspirational and helps enhance creativity, employee wellness, and professional development. The idea here is to make sure every employee is and feels safe at work.
Have your management set the tone for the workplace—one that fosters transparency, respect, and communication between employees. Try to create a positive culture where everyone focuses on themselves, accepts honest feedback, and avoids negative behavior.
Next Steps
Managing employees is an ongoing process. While you focus on retaining them and helping them thrive, make sure you're also getting results in the form of more sales and higher revenue.
As a business owner, you'll find yourself juggling employees and customers. To help you strike the right balance, check out these other Crazy Egg guides:

Wolves fought back from two goals down to beat 10-man Manchester City 3-2 in a spectacular game on Friday.
Despite losing goalkeeper Ederson to a red card after 12 minutes, City secured a 2-0 lead through two Raheem Sterling goals.
But Adama Traore drafted the comeback for the Wolves with a stunner from 25 yards. Raul Jimenez stepped up the pace at the 82nd minute, with Matt Doherty following it up with a winner.
"It was a good night, a very good night. The game was fantastic. Everything changes with City with one men less but it was very good," said Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
This lends a blow to City's hopes of a third consecutive Premier League title, pushing them in third place and 14 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

World AIDS day: 75% of carriers in Nigeria are unaware
By; Alex Uangbaoje, Kaduna.
As the world observes World AIDS day, Executive Secretary, Kaduna State AIDS Control Agency (KASACA), Dr. Halliru Musa, has revealed that about 75 percent of Nigerians who are living with HIV/AIDS are not aware of their status.
He made the revelation Monday in Kaduna during a press conference to kick-start a week long activities to commemorate the global AIDS day and to raise awareness in the state, in collaboration with United Nation's Children's Fund (UNICEF), adding that the earlier the people know their status, the safer the country will be.
He emphasised that abstinence from sexual intercourse for unmarried members of the society remains the only sure way to avoid contracting the epidemic, noting that the use of condoms as alternative cannot guarantee safety.
To end the AIDS epidemic by 2030 as part of the sustainable development goals, he said will require accelerated investment, commitment and innovation in that direction.
According to him, if the world is to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030, rapid progress must be made by 2020.
"We are witnessing the beginning of the end of AIDS epidemic which can be ended in every region, every country, in every location, in every population and every community. There are multiple reasons why there is hope and conviction about this goal.
"To change this dynamic, we must quicken the pace of action. We know that strengthening local services to reach key populations will lead to healthier and more resilient societies.
"The good news is that we now have what it takes to break this epidemic and keep it from rebounding to prevent substantially more new HIV infections and AIDS related deaths and to eliminate HIV related stigma," he added.
First December every year is set aside internationally to commemorate and create awareness for the epidemic, as report has it that globally, 15 countries account for nearly 75 percent of all people living with HIV while Nigeria accounts for 9 percent of the global total. The theme for this year's day is "Getting to zero: Ending AIDS by 2030".

Stephanie Nass, better known as Chefanie, has found a way to combine her loves of art, cooking, and matching through her catering company and inventive products, including Chefanie Sheets that let her easily decorate cakes to match any pattern. Chefanie also runs a private dinner club called Victory Club that combines her cooking with the work of a New York artist for a culturally immersive and delicious evening. We talked to Chefanie about how she started Victory Club, where she would love to host an event, and how membership in the program works.
Downtown: What started first, the catering or Victory Club?
Chefanie: In 2014, I began hosting friends and friends of friends for dinners in my tiny art-filled NYC apartment. Those dinners turned into a roving series of art-inspired meals to which Victory Club members are invited at the beginning of every month. My catering business followed in the same style as Victory Club.
Downtown: Tell us about the first meal, how did it go?
Chefanie: The first meal was 10 people I knew. The dinner was centered around my art work and art collection. It went smoothly and felt natural. People didn't want to leave at the end of the night.
Downtown: How did you decide to go from your apartment to art spaces?
Chefanie: The events outgrew my apartment, and I wanted each event to showcase new art.
Downtown: How do you choose whom to collaborate with?
Chefanie: I work with spaces, people, and art that I love!
Downtown: How do the menus reflect the spaces/artists?
Chefanie: I create food that is either conceptually or visually inspired by the art in each space. For example, I might serve the artist's favorite foods or ravioli that looks like a painting.
Downtown: How does membership work?
Chefanie: Members apply here to receive the monthly newsletter. They pay $100 monthly to attend at least 2 events per month. The vast majority of events are gratis for members, but sometimes it is discount codes for partner events. Sometimes we offer passes to art fairs and art shows as well.
Downtown: Does the size of the meals vary?
Chefanie: Yes! It varies based on the size of the venue.
Downtown: Is there something that unifies the whole series?
Chefanie: There are many signature items that unify Victory Club events: there is always food, as well as an art talk, tour, or lecture. When it's a seated meal, the menus are handpainted, the napkins are embroidered with the Victory Club logo, and there are always warm baked cookies between the entree and dessert.
Downtown: What NYC space are you dying to host a dinner in?
Chefanie: Will Cotton's studio and The Shed at Hudson Yards!

A few months ago, the town hall started working on a project to revitalize the housing estate, which is bordered by Malkovského, Křivoklátská and Ivančická streets. The project includes the complete regeneration of land between houses, the creation of leisure areas and solving the lack of parking. The expected investment in the renovation of the housing estate is estimated at 50 – 100 million crowns, which must be applied for by the municipality this year. If the investment is approved, work will be able to begin in 2012-2013. However, in addition to funding the action, there are other areas that need to be addressed before the project can begin.
A clear condition for starting the project is the solution of the land. Regeneration of the housing estate is not possible without cooperation with CPI and individual SVJ. Negotiations with the CPI have been ongoing since the autumn of last year, and the final version of the agreement on the transfer or long-term lease of land affected by the new housing estate project is currently being finalized.
The situation of land that is adjacent to houses is much more complicated, and their ownership is different. This applies to approximately 50 SVJ, half of which own land around the house. Of course, the housing development project will also affect these plots, which is why the town hall will offer individual SVJs the option of long-term lease of plots so that the project can be implemented. If SVJ leases its land, the city district will regenerate the land and then take care of it. However, it is not possible to maintain land only for selected houses. Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue of land transfer comprehensively and uniformly. This is not yet successful, as individual SVJs have different views on the ownership of these lands. Of course, the town hall cannot persuade SVJ to buy land. However, their representatives must realize that until there is agreement between the SVJ and the CPI on the land near the house, the houses will never be revitalized and there will never be playgrounds or new parking spaces in the courtyards.
Slow home revitalization
Many houses are currently being renovated, the windows are being changed, the house is being insulated and new lifts are being installed. The result of very high quality work can be seen, for example, in Nýdecká 444, Malkovského 596-8 and other houses. The committees of these SVJs deserve praise. However, the reconstruction of houses must precede the project of a new housing estate. It is not possible to regenerate the surrounding land and then build a construction site on it.
Many SVJs are still under the administration of the CPI, despite the fact that company representatives are appealing to the residents of the individual entrances to set up their own SVJ committee and start taking care of their own house. The former AVIA housing estate has a total of 74 entrances and 15 of them still do not have a committee of its own inhabitants.
Residents of prefabricated houses should press their SVJ committees to begin reconstruction work to provide them with new elevators or insulation. Finished houses in Malkovského and Nýdecká are clear proof that it works. Just want to.
SVJ to buy land. However, their representatives must realize that until there is agreement between the SVJ and the CPI on the land near the house, the houses will never be revitalized and there will never be playgrounds or new parking spaces in the courtyards.
Project of a new housing estate
Atelier MIO Architects designed a new housing estate, which prioritizes leisure activities over roads and parking. Traffic is limited only to Krausova and the surrounding streets, and inside the housing estate there are so-called lentils, which represent various active or recreational areas. Today's roads create unnecessary barriers in various places in the housing estate, and therefore this concept eliminates some asphalt roads and combines green areas into one large one, where elements for sports and relaxation will be created. Parking is solved along the surrounding streets and in various variants 140-180 parking spaces will be added.

ADOPTED 01-01-12 – Zoe is amazing to watch, she loves sniffing everything; this might be the German Shepherd in her. When she runs in the back yard, she likes to try to herd her foster mom. This might be the Catahoula in her I guess. The best part is that Zoe is very sweet and playful, and she loves children and people because she gets excited around kids and adults when her mom has her out on a walk.
When Zoe comes in the house she wants everyone to pet her. This is common with rescue dogs that have been neglected. They appreciate every second of love and attention. Most important, she has learned to trust the people she is with and what that means is she has learned that her mom will never put her in any situation or contact with anyone, 4 legged or 2, that will hurt or abuse her.
ZOE is doing great in her foster home. She loves to play, bury her bone and she loves life. She would be wonderful with children because she has so much love to give and she is so full of personality and life. Watch her with her foster Mom in these movies:
♥ Movie #1 ♥ Movie #2 ♥ Movie #3 ♥ Movie #4 ♥
♥ Movie #5 ♥ Movie #6 ♥ Movie #7 ♥ Movie #8 ♥
She jumps up when really excited, like a child tugging on your shirtsleeve, she is saying: come on, be with me. All this needs is the right correction to let her know that she should not do that because she no longer does it to her mom but she might try it with someone new. True to the protective side of the Catahoula, she will bark at people she is not sure of, this is just her way of asking you are these people ok because I am not sure however, she is standing up for you and being protective. You can be sure that even as a baby, she will stand beside you and make sure you are safe and aware of all new people.
When she rides in the car, she is very well behaved, she used to jump in but now she kind of moves up slowly. Most dogs like to chase cats and squirrels and Zoe is no different, however, she really wants to play with other dogs that she passes on her walks. If she comes across a dog barking behind a fence, she wants to go over and meet them and play. Zoe is very submissive and does what we call a submissive introduction; she will lick a dog's mouth. What she is saying is, I mean you no harm and want to be your friend. This is very encouraging from a rescue point of view because it shows us that she has a warm social personality.
Zoe is still young and will need to chew on squeaky toys but when she is bored she likes to tear holes in them and remove the stuffing so like a young child, she will need to be supervised until she gets more mature. She is responding well to stay, sit, down, leave it commands, and has no house accidents yet. She likes to sleep with her humans in the bedroom on her dog bed.
The Catahoula cur puppy is known to have a short, single and dense coat that may come in various colors or shades of grey, black and white. The legs of the Catahoula dog breed are known to be strong boned and solid. This breed of dogs is also known to have a deep chest cavity which allows for good lung and heart capacity. As far as the personality of the Catahoula cur dog is concerned, one should know that the catahoula cur dog breed is highly intelligent. This breed of dogs is not aggressive by nature but is assertive. In fact on account of its strong instinct to care for their family members the Catahoula cur dog breed is known to be an excellent care take for children. Although a Catahoula cur puppy will make an excellent pet for the family and for children especially one should also be aware that this breed of dogs requires a dominant owner as they are also known to be very territorial and independent by nature.
Zoe's perfect home could be with children because she will be a great puppy for a family and she has the protective nature that is part of her breed. However, if someone is home a lot and meets her social needs, she just really wants love, she is very devoted to her foster mom. She is not very hyper but she is playful and can be handled easily. She is eager to please and mom thinks she will be a medium size dog not large at all, perfect size. Most important, her new family must remember that she is a puppy and will require patience and understanding, just like any other puppy

US officials will not meet with visiting members of a delegation from Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, a State Department spokesman said on Tuesday.
Egypt summoned the US ambassador in Cairo to show displeasure at Muslim Brotherhood figures coming to Washington for a private conference, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday.
"There was never any meeting planned," State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said at a news briefing. "We haven't reversed a decision. We've met with them in the past, and our policy remains the same."
The tensions reflect a clash between US diplomats' desire to deal with the whole political spectrum in Egypt and a fear of alienating Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the former army chief who toppled a Muslim Brotherhood-led government in 2013.

Friendship pain: how to accompany your child.
With their friends, children develop their social, intellectual and emotional skills. As with any relationship, arguments and break-ups can occur. Although these are quite common and can be a learning opportunity, children can suffer from them. This is called friendship pain.
What causes friendship pain?
A child tends to make friends with someone who looks like him or her. In early elementary school, they often look for someone of the same gender and age. Generally, a child prefers a friend who has a similar temperament or who enjoys the same activities as him or her.
As a result, a child may drop a friend when he or she finds a new one who is more like him or her. Because their personalities change so much throughout childhood, they may switch friends to someone who simply shares their new interests and is more like them.
Here are some other reasons why a friendship may end.
"It is more important for children to have at least one friend than to always keep the same ones or never experience conflict with them."
From the book Love and Friendship in Children
A child may be rejected by a friend when one of them is unwilling to settle a dispute. A hurtful word or gesture is sometimes enough to break a friendship. Children do not always have the emotional maturity to step back from what is bothering them or to resolve a conflict. They live more in the moment than adults.
Betrayals, such as revealing a friend's secret, can also lead to a breakdown in friendship.
Status within a group also influences friendships. If a child is rejected by the class, his or her friend may distance him or herself from the class to avoid the same fate.
Some children find it difficult to handle a three-way relationship. They prefer the duo and the exclusivity of the friendship.
Circumstances that are beyond the children's control can sometimes lead to friendship heartbreak, such as moving.
How do children experience friendship pain?
Friendship in children can have the same sanctity as love in adults. Losing a friend can be experienced as grief. It's not just the loss of the intimate connection that saddens the child. Sometimes it is the loss of a place in the school group. Losing a friend can mean being alone at recess, and this can be as sad as the loss of the friend.
The child's character has a lot to do with the kind of reaction he or she might have. He or she may go through the crisis with ease, or he or she may be inconsolable, angry or anxious.
This may be reflected in minor difficulties, such as irritability or sadness, but can escalate to difficulties sleeping or eating, or even refusing to go to school.
What is a healthy friendship?
A healthy friendship is a balanced relationship where your child is happy and feels respected and safe. It's a bond where they feel trusted. This concept can be taught to your child, but most of all, he or she will learn through real-life experiences. Creating opportunities for contact with other children – by going to the park or enrolling your child in sports or art activities – is also a good way for your child to learn about friendship.
How can I help my child?
Make sure you spend quality time with your child, either as a family or one-on-one, so he or she doesn't feel alone. He or she will probably need comforting at first. You can also help take his mind off the situation, for example by offering an activity he enjoys.
Clarify the situation and the reasons for the break-up with your child, without blaming him or herself for the situation. If they don't understand why they lost their friend, your child may feel sad, angry or confused. He or she may wonder why his or her friend doesn't want him or her anymore, for example.
Welcome your child's emotions. You can help your child put words to what he or she is experiencing, while respecting his or her choice if he or she doesn't want to talk to you about it. The important thing is to be present and available if they need it. You can also encourage him to draw his emotion rather than say it, or to read with him books for children that talk about emotions.
Accept that he or she can express sadness, even if it hurts you. It's important for your child to feel that it's okay to be sad and that it will pass. You can explain that grief is like a wave. At first, the wave is very strong, but over time it will slowly return to the sea. The pain will lessen and he will remember his friend with less sadness.
Share your personal experiences by telling your own friendship pain stories. This is a positive way to show your child that as we get older, we can make new friends.
Help your child make new friends by introducing them to new people or signing them up for a new activity, for example.
Love and friendship: Does the child understand the difference?
True love usually begins in the pre-teen years, around age 10 or 11. Before this age, a child may "play" at being in love, mimicking the behavior of parents or favorite heroes. He or she may also genuinely feel love for another child, but this feeling of love is very similar to friendship in that it does not have a sexual dimension as in an adult. A child may, for example, give gifts, show a desire to hold his or her lover's hand, and express a desire to be the only one to play with the "loved one. He or she may distinguish between friends and lovers, but the difference is actually quite small. Heartbreak and heartache could be experienced in much the same way and with the same questioning: "Why didn't the other person want me?
To remember
There are many reasons for friendship pain: changing interests, difficulty getting out of a conflict or managing a three-way relationship, etc.
Losing a friend can be like grieving for your child. He or she will need to be comforted.
You need to welcome their emotions and help them put words to what they are experiencing.

Reading: Federici; Gunter, Pearce, Hector, Obita; McCleary (Norwood), Chalobah, Williams, Robson-Kanu (Blackman); Mackie, Pogrebnyak (Yakubu)
Eleven changes from the makeshift side which folded easily at Watford on Saturday, although in the grand scheme of things this was clearly the more important game. In terms of the lineup at Valley Parade nine days ago, Steve Clarke made just two swaps, with Chris Gunter in at right-back for the injured Stephen Kelly, and Garath McCleary replacing Oliver Norwood as Reading lined up in a 4-4-2 with Jamie Mackie and Pavel Pogrebnyak up top.
With the sellout crowd and the sea of scarves creating an atmosphere unseen at the Madejski Stadium in a long time, including Bradford filling the entire south stand, the nerves were jangling as both sets of fans furiously willed their team towards Wembley Way. But any worry amongst the fervent home support was quickly ended within ten minutes, as a quickfire double put the Royals firmly in control.
Garath McCleary isn't usually known for his set-piece delivery, but his first corner this evening was perfectly swung in towards Hal Robson-Kanu at the near post - his glancing header left keeper Ben Williams with no chance as the ball flew into the bottom right corner.

And three minutes later McCleary grabbed one of his own, as he collected the ball out wide from Chris Gunter, drove inside, and fired in left-footed from the top of the box. It may have been goalbound anyway, but the deflection off Andy Halliday only served to confound Williams in the Bradford net, as the ball looped cruelly over the stranded keeper. Reading were rampant, and looked on the way to the final four - though that's never a certainty with this side!
(Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)
In truth, Bradford failed to threaten in the same way they did at Valley Parade, with Michael Hector and particularly Alex Pearce dealing with the hustle and bustle of Jon Stead and James Hanson pretty easily. Instead it was Reading who came closer to a third to kill the tie, as Danny Williams let fly from 25 yards - his namesake in goal was equal to it, though the swerve on the ball meant a parry to safety was the only course of action.
The action then focused on the officials, as referee Mike Jones took a few names for dissent as the first half fizzled out, the early one-two blow knocking Bradford out of their stride. McCleary tried the same trick as earlier from outside the box, but the ball flew over the bar without the aid of a deflection. And Adam Federici finally warmed his gloves on the stroke of half-time, collecting a low cross from Felipe Morais. It's never comfortable being a Reading fan, but most were breathing easy after 45 minutes - the Royals were fully in control.
Clearly the words at half-time from Steve Clarke were along the lines of "don't do anything stupid", as Reading looked to hold onto that lead and see out the match. Phil Parkinson, given a good ovation on his return to the Madejski, made a double switch to try and freshen up the side with more attacking impetus, but after an hour the match was officially over as a contest.
Hanson had already thrown an elbow at Hector which left the Reading centre-back needing treatment, and soon enough Luke Anthony was needed to attend to Nathaniel Chalobah, who took a wild kick in the side from Morais. Studs up, no excuses, though referee Jones initially pulled out the yellow card before (presumably) being told by his assistant that the challenge warranted a straight red card.
(Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)
That put Bradford into defensive mode, and Reading into keep-ball mode, though the Royals did add a third to fully calm any remaining doubters who thought they could somehow throw it away. Chalobah collected the ball inside the Bradford half and slipped a through ball to the tireless Mackie, who went for power and fired with gusto past Williams.
(Ian Walton/Getty Images)
With the match just ticking down to full time and the inevitable Reading win, it was a pitch invader who got the biggest cheers from the crowd, as he decided to run towards the Bradford support and do front flips in the penalty area. Not helped by the stadium PA playing the "Benny Hill" music as if to somehow condone his actions, it was a disappointing note on an evening which both sets of fans (and the clubs) are likely to see repercussions for - more on that will no doubt follow on this website in the coming days, but with reports of racism from one Bradford fan, and the post-match pitch invasion, the game might get more press for the wrong reasons.
Full-time came and there followed an inevitable pitch invasion from a fair number of Reading fans, as their Bradford counterparts were guarded by a heavy number of police and stewards. A night worth celebrating, no doubt, and unbridled joy from every Royals fan in the stadium who had just witnessed their team create history.
Que sera, sera...


text: One of Bitcoin's strengths and the thing that makes it unique in the finance world is its radical transparency. Blockchain data is like a window, you can see right through it. But if Blockchain data is a window, it often feels less like the one in your apartment to look out of (solemnly during a pandemic, possibly), and more like this: Photo by on Thaï Ch. Hamelin / ChokdiDesign Unsplash In blockchain data, the agents involved are obscured. There is no central agency that knows who is posting what transaction, but the data is all there for anybody to see, and it is often trying to tell a story. Our goal in this blog post is to use blockchain data and discover one such story: the story of millions of dollars worth of digital currency in flight between sender(s) and recipient(s). We aim to use the transparency of the blockchain to our advantage and observe our counterparties performing large transactions . This is an incredibly powerful ability, and we can leverage some brainpower and keyboard skills to get it done nearly for free. before they are even complete In this post, we will touch on some of the same topics as one of my previous , namely inflow and outflow and BitMEX wallets. We will also learn about topics such as the mempool, what a digital wallet is, how to listen to live streaming data using a tiny computer, and dig into (somewhat) raw blockchain data using Amberdata. posts Amberdata's API unifies blockchain-network and cryptocurrency-market data, metrics, and reference rates into a single integration point making it delightful for data science. There are a lot of topics to cover here, so with that, let's get started! What is the Bitcoin Mempool? When a new transaction is submitted to the Bitcoin network, it first must get verified by each node in the network. After the transaction becomes verified, it is added to the node's "mempool", or list of pending transactions. When a new block is created, a miner fills the block with transactions from the mempool and mines the block, making the transaction a part of the blockchain. This is what we mean when we say that we can observe transactions "in flight" in the mempool: we can see the transactions and their information before the funds transfer. If I am a cryptocurrency trader, I might want to use this information to my advantage to identify how entities are sending money on the blockchain - something that is impossible to do in most traditional markets. Sounds easy, right? Here is where blockchain data gets a bit tricky, like that stained glass window. What is a Bitcoin Wallet? If you are interested in purchasing and possibly trading cryptocurrency, you may set up a digital wallet with one of the many wallet providers out there. This wallet holds a "secret key" proving you have ownership over some amount of cryptocurrency on the network. In order for a friend or exchange to deposit some cryptocurrency into your wallet, you need to give them an address to send it to. However, this gets complicated because most modern digital wallets create a new address for each transfer as a safety measure. Most centralized exchanges such as Coinbase have adopted this safety measure as well. While this is great for you as a user because it protects your digital assets from being stolen, it makes it a lot harder for data miners such as myself to identify who is sending to whom. While this is not always the case, it starts to look more and more like every transaction is between new users, which is unhelpful. If you read my aforementioned post on BitMEX wallets you will know how we solved this problem for wallets on the BitMEX exchange, but I will summarize it here. BitMEX is one of the most liquid Bitcoin exchanges, meaning it has some of the highest volume of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading. Fortunately for us, all BitMEX addresses start with either "3BMEX" or "3BitMEX", making them very easy to identify. These sorts of things are not readily announced by the exchange itself, but according to some good sources and verifying with the data it appears that this seems to still be the case. Getting the Data The volume of transaction data for a large network like Bitcoin is constant and sizable, so in order to get an accurate picture of its activity, it is a good idea to watch it live and parse out the signals we want to focus on. Our main data source will be Amberdata's Websocket, which is available with a free-tier Amberdata API key. They have a useful guide for getting up and running looking for evidence of large token transfers called , but since I am executing this analysis in Python I thought my method might be useful as well. Pending Transactions Real Time Asset Movement Since we will need several days worth of data to find something interesting, I am opting to use a smaller device to save energy and keep my bedroom a little bit cooler. My device is a Raspberry Pi 3B upgraded to the newest version of Raspberry Pi OS 10: Buster. This version comes installed with Python 3.7 which we will need to run the data collection script. Speaking of data collection, now we get to the star of the show from the technical side: websockets. What are WebSockets? Websockets are a way to get streaming data from an API. The two most useful tools for ingesting live data in Python are the package and asyncio in the standard Python library. Websockets is actively maintained and I recommend it over websocket-client as it enforces good programming practices, including using asyncio. websockets If you are not familiar with asyncio, it is a package for multithreading with some special functionalities which will be very useful for listening to streaming data. This by Real Python is great for getting up to speed with asyncio. Here is what my data collection function looks like using the websockets library: guide In short, by starting our function with we are able to call the function and resume our program without waiting for it to return. We use this same methodology by using The general form of the program is to open up a client and send the websocket server a message that says that we want to listen to the websocket for new events. Once the connection is established, we start an infinite loop with and listen for new events with . async def await websocket.send(message) pending_transaction while True response = await asyncio.wait_for(websocket.recv(), timeout=25) As the data comes in we process the data with a function called which essentially looks to see if the pending transaction is large enough - greater than our threshold - and logs it to our data file if so. In particular, we log the timestamp of when the pending transaction appeared in the mempool, the value of the pending transaction, who the transaction is from and the transaction's recipients, the transaction hash, and whether this transaction is on, to/from, or not related to the BitMEX exchange. If you are unfamiliar with blockchain data, the transaction hash is just a unique identifier that allows us to find this particular transaction anytime, which we will make use of later when we check to see that the transactions went through. on_response() As we log the transaction, we want to check if the sender or recipients are a part of our exchange of interest, so we have an idea of whether the money is trading on, from, or within the exchange. This actually tends to be a decent indicator of the market health of cryptocurrency. The more people putting money onto an exchange, the more bullish they are and vice-versa. In order to achieve this for BitMEX wallets, we can simply parse the addresses for "3BMEX" or "3BitMEX", as mentioned above. But, I wanted to go a step further and use what is called a bloom filter. Bloom Filter A bloom filter is an efficient data structure for querying a list of items. It can answer the question "Is this object not in the list of items?" with certainty, but gives an answer with some margin of error when you ask it "is this object in the list of items?". This makes it useful for lighter applications when you have up to millions or more items to search. In order to take advantage of this, I used my list of addresses from the BitMEX blog post to cross-reference each time we logged a new large transaction. You may not have such a nice algorithm for identifying exchange addresses on other exchanges, in which case you can keep a list of the exchange's addresses you come across and use the bloom filter to check new transactions for exchange addresses as they come in. All said and done, you will probably also want a third process - possibly with a different machine or done after the data has been collected - to double-check the transactions to make sure the bloom filter did not miss any. Getting Started We will also make good use of the program written in C for Linux machines. This is a very useful program and has become a standard part of my workflow since I have learned it for this blog post. Tmux starts a server session that allows your shell sessions to stay alive even after you leave, or the computer would regularly go to sleep. Its main use here is to keep the Python session alive and listening to the websocket indefinitely, but there are many more uses for tmux such as creating a customized dev environment, and much more. tmux If you would like to follow along or try this analysis yourself, you first need an Amberdata API Key to access the websocket. The full code for this blog post, along with the other blog posts in this series is available , and for this post we will be focusing on the repository txn-mempool. I made sure that there are minimal packages to install, so you should be able to get up and running collecting data with just Python version 3.7 and the virtual environment manager of your choice. Now that we have that out of the way, we can move on to the fun part. here The Analysis I left my Raspberry Pi running for about one day listening to the Bitcoin mempool. I set my threshold for pending transactions greater than 100 Bitcoin, or transactions worth at least roughly $1.15 million. Watching pending transactions (over a certain threshold) live I captured mempool transactions periodically from August 26th, 2020 at 8:30 AM PST to the 28th at 8 AM. Plotting them in order of occurrence gives us this: A plot of transaction magnitude over my data collection period We can see that we observed basically two tiers of pending transactions. Small (in the scheme of things) transactions worth less than 1,000 Bitcoin (~$11 million) that happen frequently, and a good amount of pending transactions in the 10,000 Bitcoin range (~$100 million) and above. This may come as a surprise to some about the shocking amount of value constantly being transferred on the Bitcoin network. The overall distribution of pending transactions we recorded looks like this: count 503 mean 1034 std 2613.3 min 100 25% 131 50% 211 75% 438 max 11711 The average pending transaction - excluding transactions under 100 BTC - was about 1034 BTC, but the median was lower at a little more than 200 BTC which indicates that there are some much larger transactions skewing the distribution. As a side note, even though Tmux keeps a server alive so the listening program can continue to subscribe to data from the websocket, I was being silly and unplugged my machine for a couple of hours at a time. My Kindle shares the same charger, and I am also an avid reader. Here is what my data collection looks like in the time domain with downtime from unplugging my Raspberry Pi: My data collection uptime We will see the effect of this pop up later in the analysis, but for now we can just keep this in the back of our minds. Since our analysis is focused on keeping an eye on wallets on the BitMEX exchange, let's translate this to transactions involving these BitMEX addresses. Filtering out transactions to/from/on exchange By talking about the money flow with respect to an exchange, we can get an idea of whether people are trading within the exchange, putting money into the exchange to trade, or taking the money out of the exchange. Putting money into an exchange possibly reflects bullish sentiment, because people are purchasing more Bitcoin to trade. Taking money out of the exchange, on the other hand, can reflect bearish sentiment. People might transfer out of the exchange to withdraw and put into a cold wallet, transfer to another exchange, or liquidate into USD or another currency. As mentioned above, we use a bloom filter to identify pending transactions from an exchange on the fly and observe flows before they become completed transactions. If there is a BitMEX address in the "from" field, then we consider the transaction to be from or "off" the exchange. Similarly, if we find a BitMEX address in the "to" field, then the transaction is "on" the exchange. If both fields contain a BitMEX address then the transaction is "within" the exchange. Only about 4% of the transactions we recorded occurred on the exchange. Here we ignore those transactions not related to BitMEX. Unfortunately, we were unable to record transactions that were only from or "off" the exchange. For the activity we did record, the split is about 40/60 of activity going to the exchange versus occurring within the exchange. The distribution of transactions having to do with BitMEX Now that we have a picture of the big transactions in flight on BitMEX, let's plot them over price to get a picture of what was going on when the transaction was submitted. Plotting large exchange related transactions over price We use Amberdata's endpoint to get minute level data on the close price of Bitcoin over this period. If you want to replicate this analysis, be aware that you can query at most 24 hours of data at this granularity at a time, but it is easy to just do a hopping window to collect as much data as you need. I combined the two data sources, and plotted the large pending transactions over the Bitcoin price, color coding each transaction on whether it was "on" or "within" the exchange. OHLCV historical A plot of some live pending inflow to BitMEX In this part of the data, most of the pending transactions were going from outside addresses to the exchange so we were able to capture some live inflow onto BitMEX. Here's what the transactions look like, sorted by value: Largest pending BitMEX related transactions It looks like the largest of these pending transactions - by a long shot - were two right at the beginning of the observation period. Largest activity within the exchange The first pending transaction, which actually occurred on my second minute of observation, is the largest pending transaction at 3400 btc. Even more interesting, two of the transactions occurred within the very same minute, one of which being the second largest transaction we observed in the mempool over the period. Mere milliseconds after a transaction was posted for over 1000 Bitcoin, another transaction in the same exchange posted for 150 Bitcoin. I looked into the addresses for both transactions and they don't have any in common, so it is unclear whether the two are at all related. There is another subtlety that we missed so far in the analysis. For example, the first transaction on the list actually only occurs between two unique addresses, and one of them is not a BitMEX address even though we listed the transaction as within. This is due to the way BitMEX processes a transaction. If a BitMEX wallet initiates a transfer to send funds, the sender will send their entire account balance as the input, and will receive their balance minus the amount they want to send and the fee in return. If you go through the "within" transactions, you will find that they are all of this form, meaning that they are simply a BitMEX transfer of funds to an outside account. So we found no BitMEX transfers within the exchange - i.e. from one BitMEX address to another, and only transfers out of the exchange. Going back through our transactions on the exchange, we can now calculate the amount that either left the exchange as discussed, or the amount transferred onto the exchange. I did that with the following script: This script goes through the transactions that were labeled "within" and calculates the amount that was transferred to non-BitMEX addresses, and goes through the transactions labeled "on" and calculates the amount that was sent to BitMEX addresses. We use Amberdata's endpoint to get the transaction data given the transaction hash. The results look as follows: Single As we can see, only one transaction fits our description of a large flow greater than 100 btc. Somebody at about 7:00 AM PST on the 28th of August transferred 100 btc out of BitMEX. With this extra layer of code, we could zone in on transfers of Bitcoin in or out of an exchange just as they were posted to the network. Checking if the Transaction Went Through Once we see that a large transaction has been posted in the mempool, we may want to check if or when it goes through. We can use Amberdata's blockchain address endpoint to see when the transaction gets mined into a block. Running this code, shows that the transaction got mined into block 645509 the next day, on the 27th of August. transaction Now let's check and see if any of the top 10 transactions we've been looking at have been confirmed. Simply using the above code and looping through our top 10 addresses we can quickly see if any of the transactions have gone through yet. Note: some of these addresses are much more active than the single one we looked at above, so we have to increase the number of records to return to 1000 per page. I welcome you to try this in the analysis Jupyter Notebook, but for now you can trust me that of the 19 transactions related to the exchange, all but three have gone through as of the time of writing. Number of completed transactions: 16 Total transactions: 19 Percent completed: 84.2 What Did We Learn? If you stuck through with me to the end, congrats! We went through a lot of topics today. We learned about what a mempool is, why blockchain wallets can be so difficult to find, and took some first steps in calculating flows from Bitcoin transactions. From gathering the data, plotting flows over price, and checking completed transactions, Amberdata's blockchain and market data API's made gaining visibility into the mempool a breeze. We also learned about some cool dev tools, such as tmux, the websockets library, bloom filters, and how to cheaply start listening to live blockchain data on a Raspberry Pi. Most importantly, we learned that we can discover large flows of currency just as they are submitted to a blockchain, often up to 24 hours before they are processed by the network.

Beattie, Rebecca, Feldman was the 3rd child born to Morris and Esther Feldman. She was born in Chicago, IL on August 5, 1896. On her birth certificate her father's name is listed as Moritz.
Her family moved around a lot and on each census report, her name is listed differently.
- In
1987, when she was just a year old they were back east in NY.
- In 1900
they lived at 122 McKibbon Street in Brooklyn and she is listed as
- In
1905 they lived at 306 Bushwick Avenue
in Brooklyn, NY, and she is listed as
- In
1910 they lived at 1887 Beaver Street in Brooklyn and she is listed as Rebecca
- In
1911, her mother, Esther, died. Her father kept the family together, and the
older children help him raise the younger ones.
- In
1915 they are living at 1855 Prospect Street.
However, the census report is mixed up and they have "Bertha" as an 18
year old daughter working as a saleslady.
(They also list a 16 year old daughter, Beatrice, working as a
cashier. This, I believe, is Bertha, aka
Birdie). Esther, her mother, is still
listed on this census report even though she died in 1911.
- In 1920 they lived at 707 Vermont Street in Brooklyn and she is listed as Beattie.
Beattie attended school through the 8th grade.
She applied for a marriage license to Israel Mandelblatt, aka Izzy, on June 22, 1923.
In 1925, she and her brother, Samuel, served as witnesses for her husband's naturalization. He was born in Patalgk, Russia, on May 15, 1983, and came to the United States on the ship Kroonland leaving from Antwerp, Belgium, on February 11, 1914.
By the 1930 census, she was married and had her twins, Estelle and Leonard, and her new son, Albert. She was living with her husband and children at 737 Georgia Ave. in Brooklyn.
By 1935 she had moved again, and according to the 1940 census, she was living with her husband and her children at 2216 E. 7th Street in Brooklyn. The census also implied that she was living at this address in 1935.
Beattie was very close to Izzy's sister who lived nearby. The cousins were grew up together and were good friends.
Estelle Rosenberg Eisler, Beatties' sister Ida's daughter, remembers Izzy as a lovely, cultured man. He often took her to concerts, and got her her first job. Estelle remembers going to visit Beattie before moving to CA to say goodbye.
Izzy, Beattie's first husband, died on April 20, 1946. He is buried in Mt. Hebron Cemetery in Flushing, NY. She then married Harry Jarolem on 1959. Beattie and Harry took a trip to CA and visited with Estelle Eisler. Harry told Estelle how much he loved Beattie. According to her niece, Estelle Rosenberg Eisler, Harry had been in love with Beattie when they were young, but she married Izzy. Estelle said that Beattie was a beautiful young girl.
Beattie developed Parkinson's disease and died on Thanksgiving Day in 1974, from that and from dementia. She is buried next to Israel in Mt. Hebron Cemetery in flushing, NY. Alberta Mandelblatt, Albert's wife, remembers that Florence and Esther Kessler both came to their Aunt's funeral and back to her home afterwards.
Outstanding questions:
Where is Beattie buried?

How to record a vinyl sample in Serato Studio
Serato Studio 1.6 now has the ability to record audio directly from vinyl. Sampling from your favourite vinyl gems will provide you with organic textures that can't be replicated digitally, giving a uniqueness to your beat.
It's not a complicated process, but there are a few things that you need to make sure are in working order before you start recording.
- Head to Song View and add a new Audio Track – this is where you'll be recording the vinyl audio into. Like with all recordings, you'll want to check that your channel input is correct. In this case, it should correlate to the inputs on your soundcard. You can use Input Monitoring to check the levels, and to ensure the audio is crisp and clear. It's not? Make adjustments to the input level settings on your soundcard.
- When everything is sounding on point, hit record. You'll get a four beat count-in and then it will begin tracking the vinyl.
- Once it's recorded into Serato Studio, the recording will default to the BPM that your project is in. But if the BPM of the song doesn't match up to the project, it can be re-analyzed. In the library of the Recording Crate, right-click and select "Analyze File" on your latest recording. Once you've done so, you can drag the audio back into an empty Audio Track and it will be the correct BPM.
Any recorded audio is saved in the Library under the Audio Tab in the Recordings Crate. You can revisit, re-sample and reshape any previous audio for future projects.
Now you can use your vinyl sample to make a fresh beat, or use it to create a DJ edit. Don't be afraid to play with different FX, chop it up or whatever else you can think of. You can break new ground and discover something new about a recording that may be decades old.
It's one of the wonders of sampling.

Nigerian Troops Reclaim Town Seized by Jihadists: Army
Government troops were in "total control" of the area and had killed "scores" of jihadists, the army said.
Nigerian soldiers backed by fighter jets on Tuesday recaptured a town in the restive northeast seized last week by jihadists after they overran a military base, the army said.
Troops had recovered the town of Marte and "adjoining communities" in the Lake Chad region from jihadists, after intense fighting, the army said.
"The troops backed by air cover… successfully charged through Marte town, destroying several Improvised Explosive Device (IEDs) and landmines laced across their route," said the statement.
Government troops were in "total control" of the area and had killed "scores" of jihadists during the gun battle, the army added.
On February 15, fighters from the IS-aligned Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) seized the town after overrunning a base there, killing eight soldiers, military sources said.
On Sunday, the army chief gave troops a 48-hour ultimatum to recover Marte during a visit to troops fighting the jihadists in the northeast.
Hundreds of Marte residents had been trapped since ISWAP seized the town, security sources told AFP.
In November last year, thousands of people returned to their homes in Marte, having fled the town in 2014 because of the insecurity.
They were responding to calls from the local authorities to return home and rebuild their lives despite safety concerns from aid agencies. The authorities have been encouraging people displaced by the jihadist violence to go back to their homes, saying the camps were no longer sustainable.
The jihadist uprising which started in 2009, has killed 36,000 people and displaced around two million from their homes in Nigeria's northeast.
The violence has spread to neighboring Niger, Chad, and Cameroon, prompting a regional military coalition to fight the Islamists.

Take Action as We Start #Marking50 Years of Israeli Occupation
Today is the first in a series of six special messages #Marking50 years of Israel's military occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
50 years ago today Israel began a war in which it occupied these Palestinian territories, along with the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula and Syrian Golan Heights.
While Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egyptian sovereignty as part of a peace deal, 50 years later Israel remains the Occupying Power of these Palestinian (and Syrian) lands.
The 1967 war was the culmination of Israel establishing its hegemony over all of historic Palestine, a process which began in 1948 when Israel conquered 78 percent of Palestine and engaged in a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing to drive out the majority of Palestinians.
All this week, we'll let you know how you can take action to protest this half-century of Israeli military occupation and the human rights abuses Israel inflicts on Palestinians to maintain it, from injuring and killing civilians, to the mass incarceration and torture of Palestinians, to the expropriation of Palestinian land and building of illegal settlements, to name a few.
Today, we are asking you to contact your Members of Congress to encourage them to attend a Capitol Hill briefing this Thursday, June 8 sponsored by our friends at Defense for Children International—Palestine and member group American Friends Service Committee.
Members of Congress and their staff need to hear from these panelists who will relate how "persistent human rights violations, systemic impunity, discrimination, and a hyper-militarized environment affect the lives of the Palestinian children growing up under a military occupation with no end in sight."
Also, this week there will be actions across the country #Marking 50 years of Israeli occupation. Click here to find an action near you. There's still time to register your event as well if you haven't yet.
And check out our newly-released FAQ on Israeli military occupation. Download and distribute it at actions, to friends, family and colleagues to educate them about the human rights abuses Palestinians face under Israeli occupation.
Policy Director
PS: Today we also need you to pick up the phone and call your Senators to tell them to speak and vote against S.Res.176, a resolution which celebrates 50 years of Israeli military occupation of East Jerusalem and calls for the United States to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
The resolution is being debated at 3 PM Eastern today. Click here for more background and contact info your Senators. Please call right now!
