"Not even his own superiors at the FBI know that the diligent young agent Steve Drake is the one-man army, BLACK COBRA, who will pit brain and brawn in his never-ending scourge of anyone threatening our star-spangled flag! Whether it's luck, careful planning, or only coincidence, BLACK COBRA has a way of keeping a split-second schedule with danger!"
In the 1940's The Black Cobra was Jim Hornsby, a law clerk working in the office of his father, the local district attorney. He dressed up as The Black Cobra to fight crime for no discernable reason other than wanting to fight crime. His younger brother, Bob Hornsby helped him as his side-kick Cobra Kid. Starting out in Harry A. Chesler's Dynamic Comic # 1 this Black Cobra only appeared in that one issue. Nobody knows who wrote or drew the story that introduced them.
Ajax revived the character in 1954. Since it was evident from the cover that the character had been at least altered since his last appearance — he was depicted with his hair uncovered, rather than wearing his original cowl that resembled a real cobra's, it was natural to assume that Ajax had simply wanted a superhero and grabbed a name for one that hadn't been used in several years (or very prominently at all). But the fact that most of the interior had been reprinted from Captain Flight indicated that no, there was a connection to the original Black Cobra.
But this certainly did seem like a new character. The District Attorney's office was gone. Instead, The Black Cobra was FBI agent Steve Drake, and Cobra Kid was just an office boy he worked with. His reason for putting on a costume was even less clear, because he did the same thing in both guises, i.e., bash Commies. But if there was confusion between new and reprinted material, the readers never saw an explanation.
This time, The Black Cobra lasted three issues.
I'm not usually one for cold war/Soviet bad guys story lines, but who cares in this situation…Black Cobra is as badass as it got back then. Who cares if he was two completely different people over the course of his short run? Jim or Steve, it's just window dressing for the art of the period, which I have an unexplained nostalgic love for (considering I was born a few decades after this was printed).

Illegality of Israeli Settlements? Some Second Thoughts
May 17, 2014 at 9:32 AM 17 comments
Written By
Lewis D. Eigen
Settlements! Whenever any of the media interview Arabs unhappy about Israel, one of the major complaints is that the Israelis keep expanding their settlements which either take more of what is supposed to be Arab land
and/or utilize more of the limited resources of the area–mostly water. The word "illegal" is almost always used in connection with the settlements by critics and many of the American friends of Israel. Yet the Israelis keep enlarging the existing settlements (in housing units if not in geographic territory). The Palestinians are put in the difficult position that the Peace Talks are supposed to negotiate the exact borders and division of the land and allocation of resources, but the Israeli's keep unilaterally changing the subject of the negotiations–the land borders–at Palestinian expense. The Israeli government is also in a difficult position in that there is a very strong political minority of orthodox Jews who say that God concreated Judea and Samaria for the Jewish People, and no Israeli government has the right to agree to prevent Jews from settling in their God-given lands. Regardless of the law and the decisions of the government, they keep trying to settle on new areas, even as the Israeli Defense Forces remove them, often forcibly. Each such incident causes a major political issue within Israel. The Governments of Israel have thus far been unwilling to crack down sufficiently to stop the new settlement attempts completely. They claim they would do so for a general, lasting and secure peace where the Arabs recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish State. But since that is not close, and one major wing of the Palestinians–Hamas–takes the position that Israel does not have such a right of existence and worse, their charter calls for the murder of all Jews in any part of the world, the Israeli government is not about to go through the internal pain and disunity that would take place when they did officially give up the right of Jews to all of the land God consecrated for them. (Of course no one knows what the precise borders of God's gift are.)
This article explores a few facets of the settlement problem that are rarely discussed–aspects that will help those people interested in the settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict might better understand.
Land & War
The claim of illegality of the settlements is based on one of the International Conventions that prohibits accession of territory as the result of war. If this legal principle were taken literally and all past violations remedied, we would be redrawing the borders of much of the world. Start with this reality: There is not a square foot of territory of the Middle East that has not been annexed as the result of war. Most square feet have changed hands and nations many times–almost each time by force of arms. Some Israelis point out correctly that the Jews were ousted from their huge empire in Judea and Samaria by the force of arms. How could it be immoral or improper to take back by force what was taken from them by force. Of course, what most do not say is that the Ancient Jews themselves built that Empire by force. So at what point do we start the moral status quo of who has the right to what land? If we choose the latter half of the 20th Century, then Israel has altered the territory by force. If we consider the first half of the 20th Century, the land belongs to Turkey. It was taken from them by the allies in WWI–by force of arms. The Ottoman Turks "owned" the land for more time historically than any other nation or group. Of course the Turks siezed the land by force, from other Moslems who had taken it by force from pre-Islamic peoples of the Middle East, the Romans, the Jews and so forth into pre Biblical times. Really, only the British transferred control to the Arabs and Jews without a formal war, but there were insurrections of both.
So to pick a point in historical time and say the morality of the world is now reversed, the rules of the game have been changed, and those whose lands have been usurped cannot take it back by force is quite hypocritical. Of course the Israelis who make this point, cannot then turn around and say that it is "illegal" for the Palestinians to try and get control of the land they once controlled using violence and war. Even Jews who think that the israeli settlement policy is self-destructive for Israel if not immoral, observe that it may be a coincidence or it may be anti-Semitism, but why is Israel the only nation which has won territory by war who should give it back. America does not offer to return Indian lands. No one suggests that the Austro-Hungarian territory of much of Europe be returned to Austria and Hungary. China (although they still claim it) is not supported by any other country in their desire to re-control Vietnam. Or cede South Africa back to the Zulus or to the other Black tribes from whom the Zulus took the land by force of arms. Only the Jews seem to be held to this new "enlightened" level of morality and international law. It should be noted however that most of the world has also criticized Russia for taking the Crimea from Ukraine, however the difference there is that it was the Russians themselves who gave the Crimea to Ukraine.
Then of course there is the major justification of most of the Israeli settlers themselves. They have been given the right to all those lands by God! And what religion in the world has not at some point claimed that God's law trumps man's law? The extreme, fundamentalist Jews of Israel believe that. Now most Jews of Israel do not, and the majority of Jews outside of Israel do not believe in the literal obedience to the word of God in general as revealed in the Bible. This is true of most people in the world. The irony is that there are three groups of people in the world who do believe that God's law generally and in this case must supercede human secular law. They are the very fundamentalist Jews, Christians, and Moslems. The fundamentalist Jews and Christians interpretation of His law is that the Jews should have control of the disputed lands. The fundamentalist Moslems agree in principle with their Jewish and Christian counterparts–God's law must prevail. However, they believe that the Koran trumps and supersedes the earlier Bible and that God changed his will.
Perhaps the most difficult problem that the human race faces in the 21st century is how to prevent minority extreme wings of majority religions in a culture to dominate the religious and civil life and laws of a culture and nation.
Israel Has Never Totally Destroyed the Arabs
There is one difference in the Arab-Israeli conflict over land and virtually all others. The difference is that in other wars, the winners imposed such horrific pain on the losers that the latter sued for peace and agreed to whatever settlement the winners imposed. The Germans in WWII were literally starving to death after the Allies had destroyed the entire German infrastructure and most of the male German population. The Germans "agreed" to cede the territories they claimed to Poland and others, and a peace treaty was signed with a puppet government that had been established by the Allies. The Germans would have given anything after the Russians finally took Berlin, to have a situation like that of the Gazans after Israel attacked Gaza after years of repeated acts of war and thousands of attacks against Israel. No Gazans have starved to death as many Germans did. No Gazan women were been raped by the dominant military forces as the Russians did in Germany. The percentage of the Gazan infrastructure that was destroyed was a small fraction of what had occurred in Germany–Japan also. And as for human casualties, total military and civilian casualties of the Gazans was but a tiny fraction of what the Germans and Japanese suffered. (Hamas themselves have killed more Palestinians than the Israelis have and since the creation of Israel in all the wars between the Arabs and Israel, the Israeli's have killed far fewer Arabs than the Arabs themselves have in their almost constant internecine warfare.)
The net result was that the Palestinians have not done what almost all other war defeated people have done in history: Make a peace on the best terms that they can get, concentrate on rebuilding their economy, and in most cases become strong allies and traders with the nations who defeated them.
Some argue that the Arabs have not been beaten badly enough. That Israel, with all its military prowess, simply did not have the political will to "finish them off." Their own traditional morality has simply forbidden that. Others point to the Arab culture, where "face", dignity, and self-respect are of greater value to the Arabs than is their infrastructure, the lives and welfare of their people, their national aspirations and even the futures of their children.
The other explanation is that the religious fundamentalists in the Palestinian minority have dominated the society and, persuaded many that all Palestinians who may be killed are better off for it as they go directly to Paradise as martyrs, Therefore they are willing to lose many lives and all infrastructure.
Peace Requires Political Control by the Moderate Majority
Almost everyone who has studied the Middle East agrees that if there is to be any solution, the non extreme majorities of both sides have to be able to gain control over their extreme minorities. However on each side, there is a critical factor that has made this impossible in the recent past and so far, the present. In Israel, the democratic structure of many parties in a politically polarized society, gives the extreme religious parties a de facto veto over most government actions. If the settlement growth were stopped–a goal of the majority of Israelis–the existing government would fall. The reality is that simple. In addition, some of the ultra orthodox are so fanatical that they would likely assassinate political leaders who would deny God and the Jewish people just as they murdered Prime Minister Rabin when they thought that he was about to do that. Many Jewish politicians personally fear Jewish terrorists more than Moslem terrorists.
On the Arab side, they do not have the difficulty that democracy imposes on Israel, since although many claim they want to be democratic, the concept of democracy is far from what anyone in the West might recognize, and the prevailing Islamic religious view is that democracy itself is against the will of Allah. However, their predilection to internal violence and assassination makes the Israeli few political assassinations seem like a Sunday School picnic. Thousands of Arab politicians and political wannabes have been slaughtered by the extremists. Anwar Sadat, the great Egyptian who pushed peace foward, didn't last very long afterward. Political killings and brutal tortures are almost normative in many Arab cultures and amongst the Palestinians in particular. The situation is so bad, that the names of the political victims do not even make the press and media coverage of the area unless it is a major official as in Lebanon. the underlings are murdered frequently.
Many were terribly puzzled as to why Yasser Arafat never accepted the Independent state that Bill Clinton had brokered and Arafat had indicated he would sign. The reason may not be so complex as many of us try make it. He told us himself. He would have been murdered if he had signed. All it takes is one dedicated fanatic willing to sacrifice his own life. Arafat knew better than anyone else that he had tens of thousands, not just a few who were potential assassins if he signed. He had been attacked several times when there were suspicion that he was doing something that some fanatic extremist did not like.
Must Israel Behave Differently Than the Rest of the World Has?
A solution will be difficult enough. But something that plays into the hands of the fanatic extremists on both sides is the harping of many of us in the rest of the world on the niceties of international law. Outside focus in the settlement legality issue is counterproductive. If there were a worldwide return of annexed land in process, the argument could be made for Israel, but in its absence, pressuring Israel alone only increases the sense of the Israeli center that the nation is under siege by a hypocritical world which wants Israel to do what no other nation has ever done before and is not willing to do now. For those Jew's whose paranoia of anti-Semitism has been justified by the events of the first half of the 20th century, it produces an artificial alliance between moderate and secular Jews and their extreme fundamentalist fellow Israelis with whom they would normally be politically fighting tooth and nail if there were not these artificial causes for the false unity. One left wing Israeli told me:
"I personally am opposed to territorial acquisition by force. I personally would live to see the American Secretary of State go the our Knesset (parliament) and announce that New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and much of Southern California is being ceded back to Mexico from whom it was taken by force, (settling the Mexican War) and as part of the new justice of the world that the US asks Israel to give back and relinquish all title and rights to the non-Israeli areas of Judea and Samaria. I and most Israeli's could get behind that. But as long as we Israelis are the only one, I could not in good conscience say that the Jewish people should be the only ones in the world to give up the right of land by conquest. In our case, our war was defensive–agaisnt all those Arab Armies who attacked us. The Mexican army never attacked you."
The wagging of the international diplomatic fingers and citing international law also gives more strength and influence to the Arab extremists and religious fanatics. They become more than ever convinced that they are morally right–even some of the Christian West agrees. And the Moslems turn to their word of God, through The Prophet, which makes Islamic land as sacred to them as to the fundamentalist Jews. They become more convinced than ever that the sacrifice of their coreligionists' lives is for the protection of Islam and is desired by God. And they have arguments to attack and even murder those Palestinian leaders who are more interested in a viable independent state than one that controls ever square foot of "Islamic" territory.
The illegality argument regarding the israeli settlements have been made for almost half a century, and certainly has done no good whatsoever, and many think it has made matters much worse. Israel must abandon the fanatical notion of a small group of religious extremists, not because it violates international law which as we have seen is not totally clear. They must be abandoned because they do no good for the vast majority of Jews who are paying their taxes to support the dream of the ultra orthodox few who neither pay their share of taxes but will not even fight for Israel against the real enemies. They must be abandoned because it is not worth the lives of those innocent Israelis, nor the Arabs who die over land that has no strategic value and de minimis economic value to the people of the region.
So what can be an effective argument to Israelis regarding their settlements policy?
One of the best is the appeal to the Israeli tradition of trying to be a beacon to the nations–to set an example for the world. This was an important concept for the Jews who first established Israel and the Labor Party governments of the past. It is less important to Israelis today as a deep cynicism of moral rectitude is part of the opinion of many who have seen that no matter what they do, so many countries attack their various attempts to defend themselves.
A Beacon to the Nations
There are still many Israelis who still are committed to the idea that by establishing a state in modern times, they have a chance to be a model nation for others to emulate. Ironically they have been very successful at this in many ways. No country has ever developed so rapidly. Their modern, technological society is the envy of many and that has been a model others have tried to emulate. Their water management has changed the way all nations deal with water, including the Arabs who fight their existence. Their education system is a model for many counties for in less than a century Israel has world class universities with students coming from much older nations to study generally and many of the Israeli nation building techniques like reclaiming the desert for habitation and agriculture. Israel's Supreme Court is prestigious worldwide and its independence of the legislature and executive is rare even among democracies. So it is time that acquisition of land by conquest is ended for a modern, globalized world. In principle, most Israeli political leaders are willing to live within the 1967 boundaries with swaps of land for Israel to include the larger settlements in return for giving other land to the Palestinians to give them a corridor to connect Gaza and the West Bank and other purposes. Fairness is a fundamental Jewish concept deeply embedded both in the Jewish religion and the secular ethics and norms. Not all Israelis will be at all moved by this argument, but the secular Jews, the majority, still value this notion.
The majority of the Israelis still prefer a two state solution so long as Israel be accepted as a Jewish State by the new Palestinian State and have assurances of security. The fear of many Israelis is that the Palestinians might claim to accept Israel, build their state (even with Israeli assistance) but use the time to continue to preach hate of the Jews to the coming generations and build their resources for another full scale war in 20 years to eliminate Israel. But negotiations could provide security guarantees, and that Israeli majority knows perfectly well that the settlement issue is just a major thorn in the sides of both the Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiators. So simply on pragmatic grounds, a halt in new settlements will help pursue the possibility of peace.
Other Arguments of Persuasion
There is an internal political situation in Israel that could also be used to persuade the majority of Israelis to support new settlement cessation. The deeply religious Israeli minority that wants the right of Jews to settle in the land God gave them tend to also be very much opposed to any two state solution. The peace opponents, and there are many but still a loud minority, realize that they can blow up peace talks by more encroaching on Palestinain territory with more settlement building attempts, just as the Palestinian minority that wants no peace settlement so they can continue their armed struggle to oust the foreign usurpers from the Middle East. A suicide bomber of other violent attack on Israel will cause a halt to the Peace Process. For most Israelis the extreme religious drive to settle in Judea and Samaria has not resonance, and that extreme minority is de facto in control of the peace process for the Israeli side. Many Israelis want to "get their country back." Most Israelis are reluctant to make this schism very public lest the enemies of Israel think they are divided and view it as a weakness of which they can take advantage. But it really does exist. There is no successful peace process possible in Israel unless the majority can gain enough control to prevent the extreme minority from sabotaging efforts to reach a solution, just as the majority of the Palestinians who want peace have to gain enough political control so that Hamas cannot make sure that there will be no settlement.
Positive reasons for ending new settlement expansion is that much money can ge saved by not having to pay for the Israeli Defense Forces to keep the peace as each new settlement produces push back and squabbles with the Palestinians in the area. The majority can also prevent what is a real scam where opportunists pretend to create new settlements for religious reasons when their real purpose is to have the Israeli government pay them a huge stipend to leave the settlement at some time in the future when peace may be iminent. The families who had settled in Gaza were paid large sums when the Israeli government decided to withdraw from Gaza. The majority would gladly put a stop to that.
In summary, positive arguments presented to the Israelis are likely to have much better results than wagging the settlement illegality finger. At worst, it will not have much effect, but the negative legality arguments have made no headway whatsoever.

Under International Law – An Arab/Palestinian State cannot be established in Israel
The Exclusive Political Rights Granted To Jews In 1920 At San Remo
San Remo Agreement of 1920 that established the British Mandate for Palestine. It granted the Jews exclusive collective political rights to Palestine, in trust, to vest when the Jews had attained a population majority.
The San Remo agreement of 1922 states that only the Jewish people can set-up its own government.
In violation of the of the agreement the British allocated over 77% of the Jewish land to Trans-Jordan.
Now you want to allocate more Jewish land to the Arab/Palestinians, again in violation of the agreement. This would create two Arab countries and one Jewish country greatly reduced in its original land allocation. This is in violation of International law and the San Remo agreement which was adapted by the League of Nations and signed by 51 member countries.
Under the law we must address the ejection of close to a million Jews from Arab countries and the property and assets that were confiscated. In addition about a third of those Jews died during those Arab pogroms against its Jewish population.

The most obvious and dangerous cause of conflict and instability in the Middle East is the so-called peace process itself
Let me advance an interesting opinion: The most dangerous cause of instability in the Middle East is the so-called peace process itself.
I know this is an unusual point of view. Give me a chance to describe my theory.
By my count, there have been at least 25 major outbursts of violence between Jews and Arab-Palestinians in the Middle East since 1920.
Every one of these conflicts ended in a similar way. Either outside powers imposed a ceasefire — or else Israel halted military operations, before the campaign was accomplished and just before a ceasefire could be imposed.
Every one of these conflicts began in a similar way, too: with a renewed attack by the Arab side, or else (as in 1956 or 1967) by Arab violations of the terms of the previous armistice or ceasefire and a blockade in the Suez Canal.
Think for a minute how unusual this is. Wars usually end when one side or the other decides it cannot continue fighting. The losing side accepts terms it had formerly deemed unacceptable because the alternative — continued fighting — seems even worse. Wherever have you heard the vanquished calling the terms.
I doubt many Hungarians are delighted to have lost more than half their territory to neighbors in Romania and the former Yugoslavia. The Bolivians still remember the loss of their Pacific coast to Chile in 1884. Some in Indonesia continue to regard East Timor as rightfully theirs.
Yet for the most part, these nations have reconciled themselves to these unwelcome outcomes.
Exactly the opposite has occurred in the Arab-Israeli dispute.
Egypt lost the Sinai Peninsula in 1956, but got it back by pressuring Israel. It lost the Sinai again in 1967, and again recovered it (although this time the right way, after signing a formal peace). I might mention that when Egypt gained its independence, it did not include the Sinai.
Syria lost the Golan in 1967, attacked Israel in 1973, lost again — and still demands the return of the territory.
Arab-Palestinians rejected the 1947 partition, resorted to war, lost, and to this day demand compensation for their losses.
It is like a game of roulette where the management stops the game whenever you begin losing too badly, with promises to refund your money as soon as it conveniently can. What gambler could resist returning to the tables?
I understand why Western governments have acted as they have. They have feared that unless they somehow smooth the situation, the world oil market will be upset and radical ideologies will spread through the Islamic world. Just like the Arab oil embargo of 1973.
What they do not see is that their efforts to contain the problem have in fact aggravated it, and accelerated the hostilities by the Arabs.
Think of this alternative history:
Suppose that the Western world had not intervened in 1949. Suppose the Israeli war of independence had been fought to the bitter end: Arab armies breaking apart and fleeing, as they have in the past, commanders laying down their arms, columns of refugees crossing the Jordan River.
The 1949 war would have ended not with an armistice, but with a surrender. Arab-Palestinian refugees would have had to settle in new homes, just as the million Jews expelled from their former homes in the Arab lands resettled in Israel.
The outcome would have squelched any hope that more fighting would have yielded a different result — and the more decisive result might have dissuaded Arab governments from any further attempts to resort to force.
Now Think of another scenario.
In the 1990's, the former Yugoslavia erupted into war. New states with new borders were carved out of the old country. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. Horrific atrocities were committed. Happily, the conflict ended. The displaced adjusted to life in their new homes. Former enemies may still mistrust each other, but violence has faded and seems unlikely to return.
Suppose instead the world had agreed that one of the combatant ethnic groups — the Serbs, say, but it really does not matter — retained a permanent inextinguishable right to reclaim its former homes with all its new offspring's. Suppose the world agreed to pay displaced persons from that group billions in foreign aid on condition that they never permanently resettled in the territory to which the ethnic group had moved. Suppose the world tolerated Serbian terrorist attacks on Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo as understandable reactions to injustice. The conflict and violence would continue.
Would there be peace in the former Yugoslavia today?
The Middle East peacemakers for the most part act with the highest of intentions and the most exquisite patience. But instead of extinguishing the conflict, they have prolonged it. A peace process intended to insulate the Arab world from the pain of defeat has condemned the Arab world — and the Arab-Palestinian people above all — to an unending war, which is initiated by the Arabs.
Every war must end — and end badly for at least one of the belligerents. It is time for this war to end too, and at last. May the victor be merciful.
Israel needs to build 100,000 housing units per year in Judea and Samaria for the next 10 years, It also needs to build 3 superhighway connecting Judea and Samaria to Israel.
Construct military bases in Judea and Samaria to protect the people and the country.
Israel also needs to build 50,000 housing units per year in greater Jerusalem and build additional roads and highway in and from Jerusalem. Israel must also build housing and expand settlements of the Negev and the Galil.
Arabs expelled a million plus Jews from all their countries and confiscated their assets.
The Jewish exodus from Arab lands refers to the 20th century expulsion or mass departure of Jews, primarily of Sephardi and Mizrahi background, from Arab and Islamic countries. The migration started in the late 19th century, but accelerated after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. According to official Arab statistics, over 989,000 Jews were forced out of their homes in Arab countries from 1948 until the early 1970's. Some 650,000 resettled in Israel, The Arab governments confiscated their assets, businesses, home and Real estate estimated at 120,000 square kilometers – 46,000 sq, miles (5-6 times the size of the State of Israel). Valued today in the trillions of dollars.
Let the 21 Arab countries resettle the Arab Palestinians in the land they confiscated from the Jews which is 5 times the size of Israel. Provide them with funds they confiscated from the million Jewish people they expelled and let them build an economy, This will benefit both the Arab-Palestinians and the hosting countries, The other alternative is relocate the Arab-Palestinians to Jordan, (originally land allocated for the Jewish people) which is already 80% Arab-Palestinians, and give them funds to relocate and build an economy. This will solve the Arab-Palestinians refugee problem once and for all. It will also reduce hostility and strife in the region.

Jewish Rights to Palestine Were Internationally Guaranteed
In the first Report of the High Commissioner on the Administration of Palestine (1920-1925) presented to the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, published in April 1925, the most senior official of the Mandate, the High Commissioner for Palestine, underscored how international guarantees for the existence of a Jewish National Home in Palestine were achieved:
"The [Balfour] Declaration was endorsed at the time by several of the Allied Governments; it was reaffirmed by the Conference of the Principal Allied Powers at San Remo in 1920; it was subsequently endorsed by unanimous resolutions of both Houses of the Congress of the United States; it was embodied in the Mandate for Palestine approved by the League of Nations in 1922; it was declared, in a formal statement of policy issued by the Colonial Secretary in the same year, 'not to be susceptible of change.' " 29
Far from the whim of this or that politician or party, eleven successive British governments, Labor and Conservative, from David Lloyd George (1916-1922) through Clement Attlee (1945-1952) viewed themselves as duty-bound to fulfill the "Mandate for Palestine" placed in the hands of Great Britain by the League of Nations.
The Oslo Accords are null and void as Stated by Abbas at the UN in the summer of 2015. The Arab/Palestinians never abided by its terms and never intended to abide by its terms. I was a deceptive way to get control of the territory as a prelude to commit terror and take over the rest of Israel. The best example you have is the terrorist state in Gaza and the increased terror and violence from the Arabs in Judea and Samaria aka The West Bank.
In Israel; if we do not fight for our rights, we will not be here. It is a matter of survival.
Abbas the financier of the Munich Massacre.
Complain on Israel ignoring its Jewish roots and heritage of our nation.
The minute the U.N. its representatives or anyone else call Judea and Samaria aka West Bank occupied territory, than there is nobody to talk to. Jordan is also occupied territory. Moreover, all the Arab countries established after WWI are also occupied territory; they were all allocated their territory by the Supreme Allied Powers at the same time they allocated Palestine aka The Land of Israel as the National Home of The Jewish people in their historical land as international law. The Jewish people must fight for their rights and heritage no concessions. Past concessions and compromise have proved counterproductive and only increased terror and violence. Stop deluding your-selves the Arabs do not want peace; they want all of Israel without the Jews. When the Arabs teach and train their children to hate, commit terror and violence, and their charter calls for the destruction of Israel. You are dealing with the enemy and not a peace partner. NEVER AGAIN. Stop the Ghetto Mentality.
The Arabs attacked Israel with superior men-power and weapons, in four wars since the British left The Land of Israel aka Palestine in 1948. The lost all four wars in utter defeat. It is time for the Arabs to face reality. The Land of Israel west of the Jordan River which was liberated in four defensive wars; will be retained by Israel and its Jewish population for eternity.
It is enough, that the Arabs have Jordan, which is Jewish territory, and the homes and 120,000 sq. km. of land the Arabs confiscated from the expelled million Jewish families, who lived in the Arab countries for over 2,500 years and now were resettled in Israel and comprise over half the population.

Total Knee Replacement
What Is Total Knee Replacement Surgery?
Knee replacement surgery, also called arthroplasty, is a procedure first performed in 1968 in the US in which a knee damaged by arthritis is replaced with an artificial joint called a prosthesis. The total knee replacement procedure resurfaces the three compartments of the knee with metal and plastic implants, like a crown resurfaces a damaged tooth. These compartments include the inside (medial), outside (lateral) and front (patellofemoral) parts of the knee. Each year more than 700,000 Americans undergo the procedure, and with all the improvements that have been made to the technique and instrumentation, it is one of the safest and most successful types of surgery.
At Adventist Health Lodi Memorial, Dr. Stephen Howell utilizes the kinematic alignment approach to knee replacement, completing more than 500 total knee replacement procedures annually.
What Is the Kinematic Aligned Total Knee Replacement Surgery?
Much like people themselves, no two knees are exactly alike. So, when a knee replacement is needed, the position and fit of implants should be as precise and individual as it can be. Dr. Howell's preferred surgical method for TKR is "kinematic alignment," a 3D technique he developed in 2005 to improve placement of the orthopedic implants that form the new knee. Dr. Howell patented this approach and he has performed on nearly 4,000 patients.
The kinematic alignment approach naturally aligns your knee by custom positioning the implants to the native joint line of your knee, just like it was before arthritis developed. This method, which is customized to each patient, speeds recovery and provides better satisfaction, pain relief, function, and flexion than traditional or mechanically aligned TKR. In fact, implant survival at three and six years are also equivalent or better than knee replacements using traditional mechanical alignment.
Unlike the customized placement used in the kinematic alignment approach, mechanical alignment places the implants in an "average" position for all patients, which changes the natural alignment of the limb and knee, causing uncorrectable knee instabilities. The orthopedic literature has shown that 20-25% of patients with mechanically aligned TKR continue to complain of pain, stiffness, and instability, despite the surgical intervention. These undesirable consequences are lessened by customizing the position of the implants with kinematic alignment.
Outcomes Speak for Themselves
Savvy patients will research before committing to knee surgery based on operator outcomes. Dr. Howell has been recognized within the top 3% of surgeons in California for outcomes, as research in the US, China, and Korea has shown that his kinematic alignment technique has better pain relief, function, bending of the knee, and a more normal feeling knee than the traditional technique called mechanical alignment*.

Kinematically aligned TKA can align knee joint line to horizontal. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2016;24: 2436-41.3. Lee YS.

Mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty carries a risk of bony gap changes and flexion-extension axis displacement. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2017: 1-7.)
Some of Dr. Howell's statistics include:
|Dr. Howell (Kinematic Alignment TKR)
|National Standard (Mechanical Alighment TKR)
|Average Length of Stay (LOS)
|1.3 Days
|3.1 Days
|30-Day Readmission Rate
|Major Complications
These key performance measures for surgeon performance are substantially better than national standards for the traditional technique called mechanical alignment.*

The San Francisco Cocktail Bar Bucket List [Interactive Map]
In any world-class foodie city, you'll find countless destinations serving up outstanding cocktails. So, it takes a little something extra to stand out from the crowd. Here in San Francisco, we can certainly call ourselves a world-class foodie city and, as such, we're home to some of the best cocktail bars in the world. But with new options popping up every month, it can be hard to narrow down the options.
To help you on your cocktail tour of the city, we created a cocktail bar bucket list featuring the essential stops in San Francisco. How many can you check off the list?
15 Romolo | North Beach
Photo courtesy of Balthazar Media
Once home to The Basque Hotel, the team behind 15 Romolo honors the legacy of the historic hotel through both food and drink — and they've been doing so since 1998. Whether you need to decompress, celebrate or catch up with your friends at brunch, this local favorite has the perfect atmosphere and the perfect cocktail. On the rotating menu, you'll find classics like The Pimm's Cup alongside innovations like Trainspotting, a cocktail made with coconut-infused, 10-year single malt whisky, amontillado sherry, Drambuie and bitters.
Absinthe Brasserie & Bar | Hayes Valley

Located in the heart of Hayes Valley, Absinthe has become one the city's most beloved and longest-running dining institutions over the course of 20 years. Along with a food menu of French brasserie fare, you'll find an inspired selection of classic cocktails and house creations. One of our favorites is the Gypsy Tea Party made with green tea vodka, lime and black peppercorn.
ABV | Mission

You'll find this neighborhood bar on just about every San Francisco cocktail round-up for a very obvious reason: they undoubtedly serve some of the best drinks in the city. House cocktails include an impressive lineup of whiskey, rum, brandy, agave, gin and vodka options alongside beers on tap, wines on tap, ciders and several virgin mocktails as well! Order yours with the Chile Verde Pork Tacos and you'll understand the hype.
The Alembic | Upper Haight
The Alembic is one of the city's original craft cocktail emporiums and has been a noteworthy food and drink destination for more than a decade. In May 2018, the bar reopened with new owners Mikha Diaz of Two Sisters Bar and Books, and Christin Evans of Booksmith and The Bindery. Staying true to The Alembic's legacy identity, they revitalized its traditions and added a few new ones, including books!
Bar Agricole | SoMa
This contemporary tavern has a cocktail menu that celebrates the rich tradition of farmhouse distilling, and a food menu with ingredients sourced from local organic and biodynamic farms. Though the food menu changes daily and the drink menu rotates regularly, you'll always find a refreshing blend of classics and new creations.
Bellota | SoMa
Photo courtesy of Kelly Puleio via Bellota
Because Bellota comes from the same team behind Absinthe Brasserie & Bar and Comstock Saloon, it's easy to see why it makes our cocktail bucket list. Directed by Jonny Raglin, the cocktail menu features Spain's cocktail of choice, gin tonic, as well as barrel-aged cocktails, sangria, and other Spanish-inspired bevvies.
Benjamin Cooper | Union Square
Photo courtesy of Benjamin Cooper
To keep the story of Benjamin Cooper brief, he was a Bronx-born scholar, gambler, husband and father who eventually operated one of the city's most beloved cocktail and oyster bars, Frank's. Today, the bar of the same name pays tribute to the life and times of Benjamin Cooper by continuing his legacy of generosity, adventure and dedication to fine spirits. That means you can get outstanding oysters at Benjamin Cooper — and even better cocktails!
Blackbird | Duboce Triangle
This modern and rustic neighborhood bar is the place to go for lounge atmosphere, creative cocktails, craft beer, happy hours and pool. While lounging in comfy seats or sitting at the long mahogany bar, you can get wines by the glass, artisanal craft beers, oak-aged cocktails and seasonal creations.
Bourbon & Branch | Tenderloin
Of all the speakeasies in the Bay Area, Bourbon & Branch is probably the most renown — though it still somehow manages to maintain a sense of exclusivity. Inside the already covert bar, there are even more hidden rooms with completely different menus. The Library and The Main Bar are the most accessible, but if you explore a bit further, you'll find Russell's Room, Wilson & Wilson, and The Ipswitch.
Charmaine's | Civic Center
Photo courtesy of Charmaine's
Charmaine's is a rooftop bar and lounge that combines California culture with European terrace atmosphere — and it's all 120 feet above Market Street. Each handcrafted cocktail features vibrant flavors, original combinations and unique ingredients. So order yours, get a plate of shareable snacks and snag a spot around the firepit!
Comstock Saloon | North Beach
Photo courtesy of The Absinthe Group
Comstock Saloon comes from the team behind other San Francisco favorites like Bellota and Absinthe, so you're already guaranteed an outstanding cocktail and meal. In addition to upscale dinner items like fresh oysters, Caviar Puffs and Grilled Octopus Corn Dogs, you also get live music every single night — and there's never a cover! So stop by Comstock next time you want to hear a little jazz, and don't skip the cocktail list.
The Devil's Acre | Financial District
Inspired by the historic Barbary Coast, the main bar program at The Devil's Acre celebrates the combination of saloon keeper and pharmacist. Because the atmosphere is so unique and the cocktails are so good, reservations are recommended; you can make those through the website here. And while you're there, see if you can get into the Remedie Room, a private event space and speakeasy.
The Douglas Room | Tenderloin
Photo courtesy of The Douglas Room
Founded by Mo Hodges and Brian Felley of Benjamin Cooper, The Douglas Room offers a high-energy, social bar scene and handcrafted cocktails. The seasonal beverages focus on craft spirits, local produce and liqueurs from around the world. Paired with gourmet bar snacks like Duck Confit Wings and a Portobello Burger, this Tenderloin bar will soon be your new favorite.
Hard Water | The Embarcadero
A project of The Slanted Door Group, Hard Water is an American whiskey bar with one of the biggest and deepest collections in the world. But that's not all! Their impressive and stunningly displayed whiskeys are paired with New Orleans–inspired dishes. Influenced by local ingredients, you'll find seasonal items like a Soft Shell Crab Po'Boy, a Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich, Boudin Balls and Bourbon Cherry-Glazed Pork Ribs.
Holy Water | Bernal Heights
If you've been praying for a good cocktail, Holy Water is the place to be. The relaxed tavern atmosphere is elevated by decanters doubling as light fittings, chandeliers made out of old books, a cloud-covered ceiling, and religious murals. Though the cocktail list is compact, every option on it is worth a taste.
Horsefeather | NoPa
Photo courtesy of Deb Leal via Horsefeather
Thanks to the American craft decor, the artisan food and the well-executed cocktails, this charming bar will quickly become one of your San Francisco favorites. Each signature cocktail on the seasonal menu has a modern, unexpected twist. Take, for example, the El Comandante: a cocktail made with Santa Teresa 1796 solera rum, whiskey, molé chocolate liquor, lo-fi gentian amaro, bitters, lime and a dehydrated lemon. Yum!
The Interval at Long Now | Marina
Landmark Building A | Facebook
Housed inside The Long Now Foundation, one of the city's most interesting museum organizations, The Interval offers craft cocktails accompanied by salon talks, a floor-to-ceiling library and mechanical prototypes. Their historic drinks pay homage to serious mixology and cultures from all over the world. See the menu here.
Nopa | NoPa
Nopa often makes lists of San Francisco's best restaurants, but their farm-to-table approach goes further than the plate. Their thoughtful, straightforward cocktails are prepared with the same care and local ideals that drive the menu and the atmosphere at Nopa. Though the cocktail list — like the food menu — changes regularly, you'll always find creative mixes, including beer cocktails, classic beverages and an impressive list of wines.
Rickhouse | Financial District
Rickhouse has a bit of everything: artisan cocktails, fine spirits, local beers and boutique California wines. And it's all housed in a warm, rustic and dimly lit space. The design is inspired and built from old whiskey barrels, staves and original charred brick that dates before the 1906 earthquake. And the cocktails are driven by fresh, local produce, as well as whiskeys and spirits from around the world.
The Sea Star | Dogpatch
Photo courtesy of The Sea Star
San Francisco Chronicle Bar Star Alicia Walton directs the bar program at The Sea Star. And with her at the helm, they've become one of the city's best cocktail destinations. The options range from innovative house cocktails to draft cocktails. With 14 rotating craft beer taps and several locally-made bar snacks available, they have everything you need for an excellent afternoon in Dogpatch.
Smuggler's Cove | Fillmore
You'll find Smuggler's Cove on most San Francisco cocktail roundups thanks to its one-of-a-kind tiki bar atmosphere and, of course, the cocktails. In fact, since the bar opened its doors in 2009, it has become one of the top rum and exotic cocktail destinations in the entire world! Featuring the largest rum selection in the United States, housemade ingredients and fresh citrus juiced in-house daily, their cocktail list includes more than 80 exotic and traditional recipes.
The Snug | Pacific Heights
Photo courtesy of The Snug
The story of The Snug begins in 2017 with four friends who wanted to share their passion for great food, strong drinks and the best beer California has to offer. All offered inside one of the city's coziest settings, this new kid on the block is a must-try! Preview the drink menu here and you'll understand why.
Trick Dog | Mission
Housed inside a converted warehouse, Trick Dog is an unpretentious cocktail bar with world-class beverages. In fact, their menus have snagged the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited award for the world's best — and it's not just because of the drinks! Every six months, the team releases a new menu and every time it looks like anything but a cocktail menu. Past examples include a kid's book called What Rhymes with Trick Dog?, paint swatch books and Chinese restaurant menus.
Whitechapel | Tenderloin
From the same team behind Smuggler's Cove, Novela and other San Francisco favorites, Whitechapel offers a cocktail menu of concoctions you've never heard of with crafted comfort food meals you'll crave. But that's not all! This underground bar was named on our blog post, 7 Beautifully Designed Restaurants in San Francisco + What to Order at Each. So while you're sipping one of the best gin cocktails you've ever tasted, you'll be doing it amongst jaw-dropping decor too!
Wildhawk | Mission
This Mission cocktail den is all about glamor. Floral wallpaper, copper ceilings, green suede lounge chairs and zebra-print stools set the scene while scratch-made cocktails set the taste. Though the menu focuses heavily on vermouth, you'll find cocktails, beers and wines to suit every inclination — and stand-out service to match!

Cookies just might be the ultimate comfort food.
Gooey, sweet and downright delicious. At Lowrider Baking Co., they're tapping into that nostalgia and turning up the cookie creativity.
"I almost want [our customers] to feel a mix of going back to childhood because, you know, cookies and childhood go hand-in-hand. So feeling that comfort of being a kid again, but then also experiencing it a new way," said Emily Allport, owner and founder of Lowrider Baking Co.
The menu is a mix of signature flavors like brown butter triple chocolate chunk, birthday cake and salted toffee pecan, and rotating seasonal favorites. Every single recipe was developed by Allport, a trained pastry chef, who left behind restaurant life to pursue her childhood dream of opening a bakery.
"I knew I wanted to start my own thing and I knew I wanted it to be cookies because after baking a lot of fancy stuff, I never craved fancy stuff," Allport explained. "I wanted to make something that I loved to eat on a daily basis, and that's cookies. I just love cookies. They're so fun. They're so approachable. Everybody loves cookies and you can change out the flavors. So I knew I wanted to pick one product line and just knock it out of the park."
For Emily, coming up with flavor combinations is simple.
"People ask me what's your inspiration and it's just like 'this is what I felt like eating at this moment' and so I made it a cookie."
But, when she and her husband tried to figure out what to name the business, things weren't quite so easy.
"I don't think we've ever argued as much as we have. It took us a month to figure out this name," said Allport with a laugh. "Eventually I just got fed up with all our arguing, and I was just like 'I'm going to call Lowrider'. It's [inspired by] our Dachshunds. We have two dachshunds, Smokey and Riley, and they're the best."
Lowrider developed a serious following at farmer's markets and pop-ups around Western Washington. Now, crowds are flocking to their retail location in the Georgetown Trailer Park Mall. It's open Saturdays from 11 am-6 pm and Sunday's from 11 am-4 pm.
To see how Emily makes her most popular cookie, brown butter triple chocolate chunk, check out the video above. Suffice it to say, they are unbelievably delicious. Perfectly chewy with just the right amount of crisp. So good that eating just one is definitely out of the question.

"This is Why I am passionate about
Wilderness Early Learning Center"
"This is Why" Campaign! Week 6
When The Tiny Tim Center first heard of the Wilderness Early Learning Center we were so excited by the prospect of becoming a partner. The idea of so many services offered by so many experts under one roof would be invaluable to the Boulder community, and we wanted to take an active part in this endeavor.
The Tiny Tim Center is now officially in partnership with Wilderness Early Learning Center, and we will be expanding our
Therapeutic Services – occupational, physical and speech and language therapies- to Boulder in January 2013. We have been a successful therapeutic services team in Boulder County since the early 1990's. Our therapists specialize in providing comprehensive services to children with special needs. We are honored to be able to expand our services through our collaboration with such a gifted group of agencies at WELC.
A unique aspect that we bring to Boulder is our ability to move smoothly from one setting to another. We often start helping a family and their child before the child turns three in their home or a daycare setting. All of our therapists agree it is the best feeling to have helped a child reach goals that at first seemed impossible when we met him or her. The goals children with special needs require help meeting could be as simple seeming as learning to eat a cracker, learning to crawl, or saying "Mama" for the first time. For a child with a disability that inhibits tasks we might take for granted, these small victories are momentous steps towards quality living.
As one family said, "Finding The Tiny Tim Center was like breathing a huge sigh of relief. We began additional Occupational and Speech Therapy right away. His therapists are in the classroom working with all students for two full days a week. Shahe still has struggles, but The Tiny Tim Center works with him and works with us, and the staff knows how to deal with his sensory induced meltdowns and frustration. The other kids, both typical and children with special needs, accept him and want to play with him. Our family will continue to support The Tiny Tim Center far into the future, just as they have supported us." It is with this enthusiasm that we also support WELC, believe in WELC, and are thrilled to join this amazing family!

Photoshop Elements
Photoshop Elements is a cut-down version of Photoshop which has been simplified for beginners and a casual photographers. It includes its own Organizer application for browsing and searching both photos and videos, and has a Guided mode to show how different image effects can be achieved. Most serious photographers are likely find its family-orientated approach and rather dated image effects off-putting. But it is quite cheap, and available on a perpetual licence.
How to use the built-in Elements Graphics creatively
Photoshop Elements comes with a range of pre-designed graphics for creating all manner of home projects like greetings cards, calendars and so on. It's all very cute, but doesn't have much to do with more serious image-editing jobs... except that it is possible to use some of these Elements graphics in more ambitious ways. To show how this can work I've started with this … [Read more...] about How to use the built-in Elements Graphics creatively
How to use Elements blend modes to boost your colours with black and white!
I've discovered what I think is a really neat way of producing richer, deeper colours by turning your picture into black and white... well, sort of. If you've got an image which needs more contrast, the usual method is to use curves adjustments. But contrast and saturation are linked, so you get more saturated colours too, and this is often unwelcome. Besides, Elements … [Read more...] about How to use Elements blend modes to boost your colours with black and white!
Mastering Elements Levels adjustments
Levels are one of the most basic image adjustments in any image-editor. They're your first chance to act on the information you get from the image histogram and use adjustments to maximise the tonal range of your picture. In fact, although the Levels dialog may not offer the advanced image control of curves or other image-editing tools, it's still the first adjustment you … [Read more...] about Mastering Elements Levels adjustments
Discover the potential of the Elements Lasso tool
I have to admit that at one time I used to go around telling people that the Elements Lasso tool was fit for nothing because there was no way you could draw a sufficiently accurate freehand selection with the mouse – and that there were plenty of other selection tools which were far better. Until I wrote a magazine article about the Peak Photography Centre, where trainer … [Read more...] about Discover the potential of the Elements Lasso tool

A quick guide to Elements RAW conversions
Photoshop Elements can open just as many different RAW file formats as Photoshop itself, since it too comes with the Adobe Camera Raw converter.

Create a two-shot Elements Photomerge panorama!
When you hear the word 'panorama', you usually think of sweeping, letterbox-shaped vistas which are about ten times wider than they are high. Panoramas this wide, however, are very difficult to print and display effectively, and often lack the visual impact you meant them to have. In fact, traditional 'panoramic' cameras didn't always go this wide. The celebrated Hasselblad … [Read more...] about Create a two-shot Elements Photomerge panorama!
How to boost contrast in Photoshop Elements with overlay mode
Photoshop Elements does not have the curves feature found in Photoshop itself and many other image-editing programs, and many people cite this as one of its limitations. I don't really agree. There's always more than one way to do anything, including modifying the contrast, and I find this 'overlay' method so quick and useful I often use it in Photoshop in preference to the … [Read more...] about How to boost contrast in Photoshop Elements with overlay mode

We're a hawk on the issues.
New Analysis Ranks Presidential Candidates By Their Supporters' Grammar
A new analysis by Grammarly has concluded that Democrat voters are generally better at grammar than Republican voters.
The study analyzed comments made by both blocks of voters and determined that Democrats used more unique words and made less mistakes per 100 words than Republicans.
The exercise analyzed 180 comments for each candidate, all of which had to be a minimum of 15 words.
Think Progress reports:
The analysis — intended by Grammarly to be "a lighthearted look at how well the 2016 presidential candidates' supporters write when they're debating online" — found that, for every 100 words written, an average Democratic candidate supporter made 4.2 mistakes, while an average Republican candidate backer made 8.7 errors. It also asserted that Democratic supporters have larger vocabularies, using 300 unique words for every 1,000 words they use, compared to Republicans who only use only 245 unique words for every 1,000.
Of course, there was more room for error on the Republican side, which has nearly three times as many candidates. In addition, many Republican candidates have a lot more Facebook supporters, meaning the pool from which Grammarly's researchers picked its 180 comments was much larger. For example, Lincoln Chafee only has 9,526 Facebook followers, while Donald Trump has 3.8 million. Overall, the average number of Facebook followers for Republicans was 1.1 million, while the average for Democrats was about 591,000.
