Bilderberg 2014 : Full List of Official Attendees
The 2014 Bilderberg meeting is taking place at the Marriott Hotel in Copenhagen. As usual, the meeting gathers some of the world's most powerful people from the financial, political and business worlds, not to mention representatives of mass media and elite think tanks. As usual, the result of the discussions are completely secret.
Official items on the agenda include "The future of democracy and the middle-class trap", "The new architecture of the Middle East" and the major geopolitical crisis of the moment: "Ukraine". Several topics that are less PR-friendly will evidently be discussed such as the evolution of a globalized world order.
As David Rockefeller, a Bilderberg veteran stated in his memoirs:
"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

you did not put Samsom, Diederik M. Parliamentary Leader PvdA (Labour Party) under the Netherlands (NLD)
If we see the history of essay writing we won't see any big number of essay writers present.
Bilderberg, scones, tea? Is this a senior citizens weekend retrieve?
When did ebola outbreak? Where was Bill, the lover of vaccines? Whatever they do in secret is against God the almighty and Jesus never did anything in secret. All works of evil will be exposed and Bilderberg is no exception.
Thirld world countries dont belong in the elites future. Bill said it, Obama said it and many others amongst their ranks.
What is kinda funny about people that think this is one big conspiracy is that we expose them countlessly yet like with the Freemasons only reply: No we dont worship Lucifer.
No one from Africa???? Interesting…
8-6-2014 at 500PM. Apparently Prince Bernhard was given a rank in the SS roughly equivalent to
a Colonel or Lt. Colonel as a courtesy to the royalty of an adjacent nation. I won't
go into specifics with the German language and dialects, but the rank appears to have
been pretty high up there. More political influence peddling by AH. Gregg.
Something interesting just got pointed out to me… The mayor of Atlanta is randomly on this list and now the Ebola patients are being transferred there. Granted that's where the CDC is, it a little odd still.
This looks like a list of upcoming guests on Charlie Rose.
Whatever happened to the Logan act?? Anyone??
The actual meeting is not composed of a majority of those members. The actual meeting was held with closed doors and for the chosen. Then, God knows what happened behind those doors.
The powers that be can only go so far before the people rise. History shows us that. The French revolution . The fall of Czars in Russia etc. I don't worry because Jesus is coming soon.
Wow, New York University and Rensselaer Polytechnic?! I am so disappointed…I couldn't help but observe the college affiliations on here. Harvard, Stanford, McGill, MIT, I expected. NYU and Rensselaer? Not so much. Well, I hope they enjoy my black list, because none of my kids will ever go there! Another observation: all of the connections they have to the NSA seem to be dwindling, as the people noted for working with the NSA are all FORMER employees…are they losing power on that front? Or are the current employees in those positions puppets for their agenda? I would hope or like to think that they are losing power…
I expected no one from Russia would be there, but what about Japan? There are a lot of countries missing that should be there.
I read that Prince Bernard of the Netherlands had a part in creating the Bilderbergs. He also may have had a link to the Nazis, although he denied it.
Re: Las Vegas Shooting and TM hit by walmart truck. Sorry I cannot find the page regarding this or similar issue so just mish mash of general topics here… I wonder if this has some connection to Walmart truck hitting Tracy Morgan's vehicle? When you look up in youtube "walmart occult shootings" at least a few pages of this stuff comes of whether related or not. There is one of CCTV live footage of a shooting 4 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqbEPkxuW-s so it makes me wonder why they don't show that for this most recent one? Kind of like Paul Walker's lack of CCTV footage also. Also interesting is the book section at walmart – its filled with demonic and satanic style books for tweens and teens or basically kids books section. I find the same at my local store. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB7aLyEsCfc here's a guy showing a few minutes of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOZybftc-Sg shows a man taking a 2 year old hostage. Someone in the comments section points out that "June 21st is a Satanic Ritual Holiday, they usually rape / kill / molest / ect ect – kids or people on these days, google Satanic Calendar , or go to shorttext do… Read more »
F'd up in so many ways I don't know where to start
Heather Reisman = indigo books ! Weird!!! why on earth is she on the list? their stocks keep falling and I guess she needs help ;/
There is no telling what they are doing during these meetings. I just want to also comment about the article on true detective about that spiral, well in MTV's series Teen Wolf they use almost the same spiral. Why would these two completely different shows use the same symbol. Just a thought.
Non-white people don't exist in the agenda. They want to depopulate the world. Of course because 80% of the world is non-white. While taking the resources, it's at the end a eugenics agenda…besides communism, socialism and democracy equals dictatorship. The world is huge enough to take people. It's not overpopulated at all!!! It's just that people are being crammed into big cities and many open land are being brought all over the world by you know who…you have to remember that they're very close to the Roman Catholic Church… The Vatican…china is communist but they have restrictions on birth as well as kill many Chinese as well as non-white person for their organs. Also, I was wondering whether VC could look into movie 'The Giver' from a book by Lois Lark, and wondered whether he can give an analysis…also you guys should check out the stuff that William Cooper done, because he explained everything into to…
The Roman Catholic Church is pro-life and has argued against the eugenics movement since its advent with Darwinism. The RCC has also been selling off land it owns. The RCC maybe be many things, but racist, not really. The RCC wants converts of every race.
The term white doesn't mean anything. The blended "colors" of the elite pawns are worldwide.
Sung to the tune of "Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen"–
It's a strange, very strange Copenhagen
Where elites come to meet
and talk all day
about how to make peasants pay
For their lives so exceeding sweet ohhhhhh. . .
When you hear Apple bashing in the news, just notice and remember that there is always a representative from Microsoft at these things– usually Bill Gates–but another Microsoft guy this year.

A new patent application from Apple reveals a new invention that would allow future devices — including iPhones, iPads, and Mac computers — to also act as smoke detectors, which would be able to call 911 for emergency assistance in the event of a fire.
Though fires and fire-related deaths are on the decline, in 2011, the US Fire Administration reported more than 1.3 million fires that resulted in 3,005 deaths, 17,500 injuries, and $11.7 billions in dollar loss. Apple would like to reduce these numbers even further.
Apple argues that smoke detectors are "mounted at fixed locations" and building occupants may be out of range from the coverage of the smoke detector, and may be unable to hear alarms. The company also points out that smoke detector alarms don't include any "information of interest to first responders," like how many occupants there are in the building.
According to Apple's patent, which was published by the USPTO on Thursday and analyzed by Patently Apple, Apple's iOS and Mac products would be able to collect information about the homes and how many inhabitants there are, based on the "motion sensors embedded in Apple's mobile and stationary devices."
Some notable points in the patent:
- The software would work in conjunction with HomeKit, Apple's new system for connecting Apple devices to all the various electronics in one's home.
- When the iPhone, iPad or Mac computer detects smoke, it may "issue an alert or take other suitable action," which includes the ability to text or email first responders, activate fire suppression equipment, create audible alerts, or transmit alerts to other electronic devices nearby and electronic devices at emergency services facilities.
- Interesting to note, Apple's alerts say they could contain maps or other "graphical representations of buildings." Apple reportedly dropped $200 million last March on a company called WiFiSLAM, which is an "indoor GPS" mapping company.
Of course, it's important to note that Apple files many patents that never become actual products. And considering homeowners are legally obligated to have smoke detectors installed in their homes, this built-in feature would likely be supplementary to whatever fire detection system you already have in your building.
Apple credits designer and electrical engineer Paul Puskarich as the sole inventor of this patent.

A superyacht refit can be a great way to give your old yacht a new lease of life. We've picked out some of the finest yards from around the world with the skills and expertise needed to pull off such a complicated job, starting with Orams Marine...
Founded: 1947
About: The yard specialises in painting and fabrication. Previous notable projects include two of the world's biggest sailing yachts, the 90 metre Royal Huisman schooner Athena, 91 metre classic yacht Nahlin and the 48.5 metre Vitters ketch Thalia.

The two travelifts on site can lift up to 75 tonnes and 300 tonnes respectively and the yard enjoys access to a 600-tonne travelift and a 2500-tonne slipway. One of the most notable Rivergate refits was a 73 metre SilverYachts motor yacht that was given a complete repaint, custom galley replacement, hull plate replacement, complete carpet replacement and the installation of a beach club, all carried out to Lloyd's class standards in a tight timeframe of just 73 days.
Founded: 1834
About: The yard is equipped with hauling capacity up to 450 tonnes. Up to 300 people work there in season (including contractors) and plans are on the board for expansion. A Gunboat 66, built in South Africa, is currently undergoing its ten-year refit at the yard.

About: Australia's largest refit and repair yard, Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard boasts a diverse offering, with more than 70 marine businesses on-site, employing over 600 marine contractors and covering all aspects of marine refit, maintenance and construction. The hardstanding measures more than 50,000 square metres, a 250-tonne and 50-tonne travelift are based on-site, while the eight purpose-built superyacht refit sheds compliment the dedicated superyacht basin. Metal and GRP fabrication, sailing and motor yacht refinishing are just a few of the yard's specialities.
Sahana is one of the most notable refit projects completed at GCCM. This 37 metre was converted from a private luxury yacht into a vessel aimed squarely at the Australian charter market in 2015.
Founded: 1966
About: Bradford works mostly on motor yachts but has the deep water access suitable for sailing superyachts in Freeport, Bahamas, where its facility has a 1,000-tonne hauling capacity, and can dock yachts up to 122 metres.

It recently opened a second office and workshops at the STP site. The 52.8 metre motor yacht Passion had "spectacular" changes made to her in a 2003 refit. These included moving the tender storage from the top deck to the lower deck and replacing the lifting crane with a sliding davit.
Founded: 1988
About:Pendennis has a 400-strong workforce, a 150 metre dry dock, 640 tonne hoist, and can accommodate sailing and motor yachts between 24 metres and 100 metres.
Previous highlights include the 85.6 metre Aquila, which became the largest superyacht to be refitted in the UK when she was relaunched by Pendennis in 2016. In one year, the yard dramatically modified 800 square metres of space, including adding an 80 square metre owner's terrace and a cinema.
Founded: 1998
About:Recently aquired by MB92, Compositeworks' specialities include the maintenance, refit and rebuild of sail and motor yachts from 30 metres to 200 metres. Last year the company opened a new technical office for engineering and naval architectural expertise.
In 2015 the company finished a major refit on the 67 metre Feadship Falcon Lair (ex-New Horizon L). The work included a total remodelling of the superstructure and a 3 metre transom extension, to a design by UK architects Olesinski.
Founded: 1956
About: The Viareggio facility takes yachts from 30 metres to 50 metres, with a travel lift and paint shed, while the Livorno one takes 55 metre to 120 metre yachts with a dry dock, 2,500 tonne ship lift and 180 metre float-in dock.

In 2015 STP finished an unusual refit: 53 metre Mirage had spent seven months there during each of the three previous winters, allowing the owner to enjoy the boat in the summers. The work included re-insulation of the engine room and installation of new engines and a new bow thruster, along with external paint jobs.
Founded: 1995
About: The yard has a marina in Monaco and a range of refit services at other venues, a 2,000-tonne ship lift for vessels up to 80 metres at La Ciotat, and travel lifts between 40 and 500 tonnes at other locations.
The 72 metre Feadship Predator first came to Monaco Marine in 2010 and has been back every year since. The main work carried out has been the redesign of the interior spaces to allow the addition of two extra guest cabins, and the application of her distinctive paint scheme.
Founded: 1991
About: The company has four dry dock slots, catering to yachts of up to 171 metres, including a state-of-the-art and purpose-built 102 metre covered graving dock and a new 90 metre dry-dock shed.
In 2016 Amico & Co converted an 85 metre passenger vessel into 91.5 metre superyacht Queen Miri (pictured). It refurbished 80 per cent of the interior, added a floodable tender garage in the stern extension that converts into a heated seawater swimming pool, replaced the main engines and added three new generators.
Founded: 1942
About: Seriously big boats are welcome — the yard has a 200 metre dry dock and a floating dock for yachts up to 90 metres. The specialised refit team has a stainless steel workshop and an in-house upholstery department at its disposal, and there is a "crew village", which includes a bar, spa and gym.
Founded: 2015
About: They do everything from minor repairs and routine maintenance to complete refits for motor yachts between 30 metres and 55 metres.
Founded: 1992
About: Each year MB92 carries out refit work to more than 100 superyachts between 35 metres and 200 metres. The 65 metre Lürssen Polar Star (pictured) had a major refit at the yard in recent years. The interior was totally re-imagined to meet the new owner's desire to make it more in tune with the environment. The aft platform was extended by 2.2 metres and the superyacht spa pool on the bridge deck was changed from a hexagonal shape to a square, with more space for sunpads either side.
Founded: 1996
About: The yard refits and repairs motor and sailing yachts from 25 metres to 140 metres. In a recent project Nautech converted a 35 metre French customs vessel into a yacht. Workers modified the structure, replaced tank steelwork, added new power management and a bow thruster, significantly altered the interior and exterior styling and layout, and finished off with a full paint job.
Founded: 1919
About: "We've extended outside of our basin, 228.6 metre deep draught dockage to make it even easier for large, transient yachts of up to 91.4 metres to visit us with a 5.2 metre draught," says François van Well, VP of business development. The biggest change is the yard's expansion. Its Rybovich North facility has five times the land, a 150-tonne travel lift and has been dredged to a depth of five metres.
Founded: 1989
About: Melita Marine Group started out small, offering basic yachting services. Within a decade it had expanded, setting up Melita Power Diesel for engine repairs and Melita Yacht Painters with a team of eight professional painters specialising in Awlgrip applications. Yachts measuring up to 140 metres can be looked after, with work ranging from regular maintenance to engine overhauls or big interior revamps.

Ever since NBC unceremoniously pulled the plug, fans have been clamoring for an official release of the short-lived DC series Constantine. Now it finally has a street date.
Warner Archive Collection has announced a complete series Blu-ray release, compiling the entire 13-episode run into one place. Up until now, the only options for fans to revisit the series were scattered streaming services. So, for those wanting easy access to the Hellblazer, it's a pretty big deal. The collection hits shelves Oct. 4.
The extra features list is admittedly a bit light, but hey, at least we're getting a release (for a while there, it was starting to look like a lost cause). The extras include: the Constantine trailer; a featurette called "On the Set;" the 2014 Comic-Con Panel Q&A with the cast and creators; and a featurette on the DC Comics Night at Comic-Con 2014 presentation, which also featured Gotham, The Flash and Arrow.
"Actors don't generally like to revisit their own filmed performances, but I really enjoyed watching the episodes myself because Constantine is such a bold, outright character - both to play and to watch," star Matt Ryan said in a statement about the release. "He's this brilliant ball of wise-cracking, chain-smoking street magic - and it's so much fun exploring his fascinating, dark world of torment and mystery. I'm happy the fans will now have the opportunity to experience the series on Blu-ray, plus all the bonus features."
Check out the box art for the collection below and let us know what you think:

In its early days, our office took part in the international competition for the planning of the Supreme Court building. The competition had two stages. The first stage was open to the public, 174 architects took part. Our office was one of 4 that were chosen to go on to the next stage. In the second stage, international architects were invited to join the competition. Among them: Richard Meier and I.M. Pei of New York, Ricardo Legorreta or Mexico and Moshe Safdie from Canada.

This Wine Is Rated:
TASTING NOTES:Intense red color with purple hues.Expressive in the nose, ripe black fruit, violets, spices and snuff. Large amplitude in the mouth, fleshy and persistent finish. - WineryAlcohol: 14.3%Total acidity: 5.47PH: 3.60
A malbec with purity and structure with a linear backbone giving the wine form and tension. Full body, blue fruits and a lively finish. Fine tannins. Drink now or better in 2018. Made from 83-year-old vines. Barrel fermented. Real Argentine malbec. - James Suckling 91 Points
This has a silky mouthfeel, with rich, plush flavors of boysenberry, dark currant and black olive that carry plenty of creamy accents. Features dark chocolate and Asian spice details on the finely textured finish. Drink now through 2020. 125,000 cases imported. -KM Rated #74 in Wine Spectator's 2016 Top 100 - Wine Spectator Magazine 90 Points
The 50/50 blend of grapes from Valle de Uco and Lujan de Cuyo 2014 Reserva Malbec was very impressive for the price tag it wears. For winemaker David Bonomi, 2014 was cooler than 2013, and they have lowered the effect of the oak and used well-seasoned oak barrels. It has good concentration and ripeness without excess, and a soft, juicy and chewy palate, with good consistency. It's lively and fresher than what it was in the past, thanks to the fruit from the Valle de Uco. This is the winery's flagship and bestselling wine. Production figures for this wine are mind-boggling, they produce around 1.8 million bottles of it. - Robert Parker 90 Points
Bright ruby-red. Rather tight aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, mocha and spices. Then a bit sweeter and more intense than the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve but still in a rather polite, savory style. Finishes with a smooth dusting of tannins and subtle length. This wine has the energy for mid-term aging. - Vinous Media 89 Points

About DFLP
1) The Foundation
The DFLP was founded on February 22, 1969 as a leftist independent organization, and as one of the major organizations of the Palestinian resistance movement, during the period encompassing one of the major defeats of the Arab Nationalist Project, the June 1967 war. In this period, the depth of the crisis within the national movement in general, and the Jordanian Palestinian arena in particular, reached a level that involved both program and leadership simultaneously in terms of class, ideology and politics. Awareness of the massive proportions of the crisis, and the dilemma which it produced, formed the basis for the gathering of large sectors of militants from various parties. This resulted in a political consensus to turn leftward, and to adopt a national program of a democratic and revolutionary nature, under a new social and ideological banner.
These sectors had, at the time, limited options. Neither Fatah, representing the national bourgeoisie and with its national stance and historical initiative to begin the armed struggle, nor the traditional Communists, who suffered throughout their historical process due to the complexity of understanding the various problems relating to the particularities of the Palestinian national question, possessed the ability for political initiative. Both failed to grasp the specific historical moment. Both were unable to conceive the correct position of armed struggle in the resurrection of Palestinian national identity, or the renaissance of the national Palestinian movement after the June 1967 war.
Due to these interwoven factors, the formulation of a revolutionary party representing both a new kind of Palestinian national identity and encompassing an Arab affiliation was anticipated. This party would involve itself in the national armed resistance movement, while presenting a democratic, radical solution to the Palestinian question that included adopting a labour class ideology, and struggling to confirm its vanguard in the National Palestinian Revolution and the Arab National Liberation Movement. This objective was the motivation and incentive for the birth of the DFLP, which was inextricably linked to the changes that took place in the Arab Nationalists Movement in its branches at the start of the 1960's, and the ideological political conflict that occurred at branch level (especially after June 1967). This eventually culminated in the different branches establishing independent party frameworks within their own countries, including the Palestinian branch that had been striving since December 11, 1967 under the banner of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
At its foundation, the DFLP declared itself a united leftist front, calling for the establishment of a Democratic revolutionary alliance. On this basis, the leftist and democratic sectors of different tendencies, which did not previously belong to a specific organization, were gathered under one umbrella. The DFLP also attracted groups that were scattered throughout the various classes of both the national democratic movement and the youth movement. Within this framework, two leftist organizations joined after just two months of the foundation of the DFLP: "The Leftist Revolutionary Palestinian League" and "The Popular Organization for the Liberation of Palestine." Later, in 1972, sectors of the revolutionary Popular Front joined as well.
Since the foundation of the DFLP, Nayef Hawatemeh has held the position of Secretary General. But other leaders coming from different organizational and military backgrounds have also played a role in the establishment of the Front since its early days. The Front worked under the name "The Democratic Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine" until 1975, when it officially adopted the name "The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine".
From the start, the Front had a clear political and ideological position as well as a clear concept of its practical struggle, both of which became enriched within the context of the national process that was taking place. Those principles which are most important and worth mentioning are: first, the close relationship of the concept of stages within the Palestinian movement as a national liberation movement with specific characteristics; and second, the close relationship between this political orientation and organizational solutions which move towards the specific objectives of mobilizing the forces and strengthening national unity.
2) The Transitional Program
The defeat suffered by the Palestinian Resistance Movement in September 1970 and in the following battles, led to the elimination of its open existence in Jordan and motivated within the ranks of the DFLP a complete, open and critical review of its own policy as well as of the general policy of resistance in Jordan. The DFLP faced the deep and complicated realities of the Palestinian Jordanian relationship, in particular the regional division within Jordanian society. The roots of this division are based on the unique position Jordan occupies within the map of imperialist interests in the region, and the role it plays in its confiscation of the Palestinian peoples' right to self determination and their independent expression of their national identity.
This critical review marked the beginning of the stage of the formation of the program that embraced the "right of return, right of self determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital." This is the transitional program (also known as the program of stages), which in reality represented the reformulation of Palestinian political thinking, which at that time had concentrated around the two fold contradiction between "resistance" and "accords", as well as between "armed struggle" and "peaceful solutions."
Although it came as a general plan in this context, the call of the DFLP for the Palestine National Council, in its ninth session (July 1971), to set up a safe, liberated support base in the occupied territories, was intended to maintain the continuity of the Palestinian revolution until it achieved its goals. The work of the first General National Conference of the Front (November 1971) deepened discussions around this topic. The Fourth meeting of the Central Committee (August 1973) formulated the elements of the transitional program, and confirmed it officially, through a document entitled "Ten themes about the general guidelines of the transitional program in the occupied lands and Jordan." It should also be noted that this program presented, for the first time, the idea of the popular uprising (Intifada), regarding it as the most distinctive form of a war of the people, possible within the special conditions of the Palestinian struggle.
These themes became even more tangible in the declaration issued by the October 1973 meeting of the extended Central Committee, immediately after the October War, which led to partial improvements in the Arab balance of power in relation to Israel. As well, the November 1973 call, issued by the Front in the occupied territories, was equally concrete. In its twelfth session (June 1974), the Palestine National Council confirmed the transitional program under the title: "The Ten Points Program," which after the fourteenth session (January 1979) became the program which had Palestinian national consensus, for a decade and a half, until the signing of the Oslo Agreement (September 13, 1993).
3) National Unity
Since its inception the DFLP has given importance to being one of the main pillars in the first national coalition, which unified guerrilla activities under the banner and leadership of "the armed struggle ", as well as in the membership of the PLO National Council and its Executive Committee established in September 1969. Moreover, in this session the DFLP presented "a plan to achieve the unity of Palestinian national forces and groups, in the Unified National Liberation Front". Also, the difficult circumstances resulting from the events of September 1970 led the DFLP to realize the necessity of promoting a new blueprint for the unity of the national movement, built upon all components of this movement in a more organized and consolidated manner, and based on proportional representation. This blueprint to build a "Unified National Liberation Front" was articulated within a project presented by the DFLP at the ninth session of the Palestine National Council (July 1971), and later, within a complete political and organizational project for achieving national unity in the framework of a unified democratic front, at the tenth session of the Palestine National Council (April 1972).
The experience of the DFLP in maintaining its ideological, political and organizational independence while simultaneously promoting national unity, affirms the vital role of the Palestinian Left within the heart of the Palestinian National Movement. Thus, this Left did not become independent and isolate itself, but instead incorporated itself within national unity as a true revolutionary actor taking part within the framework of this unity, and as a militant vanguard adhering to a correct political stance. Through it, the national slogan and the tasks of the stages of the struggle, respond to the unanimous interests of all Palestinian people.
The central importance of the question of national unity, within the thinking and practices of the DFLP, not only appeared during the first years of open struggle in Jordan (1970) as well as during the revolutionary experience in the refugee camps in Lebanon and Syria until the Israeli invasion 1982, but also during the period of severe divisions. These divisions appeared within the Palestinian political arena after the Israeli war, after regional conflicts that attempted to influence decisions of the PLO, and attempts by the dominant PLO leadership to find points of agreement with proposals presented at the start of the 1980's, especially the Reagan Plan (September 1982).
The DFLP adopted a decisive position against the Palestinian split throughout the years 1983 1987, playing a vanguard role in the Democratic Alliance which signed the agreement of Yemen (Aden) Algeria, June 28, 1984 and July 9, 1984, with leaders of Fatah's Central Committee. Although this agreement did not succeed in achieving reunification, or in preventing the domination of the official wing of the PLO to unilaterally call for the seventeenth session of the Palestinian National Council in Amman on November 7, 1984, it did set up a base from which to regain unity later, within the framework of the unifying council in Algeria (the eighteenth session, April 1987).
The DFLP rejected the political results of the Amman Council and the resulting organizational structures, and firmly opposed attempts to refute its legality, fearing and attempting to preclude the dangers of a deep and irreversible schism within the PLO.
The Oslo Agreement, which destroyed the framework of the political alliance of the PLO, was the second trial that confronted national unity. The DFLP presented a number of initiatives within the existing political context, consistently maintaining its policy of unification. Most of these initiatives concentrated on the need to have an all inclusive national dialogue to regain national consensus about current issues and permanent status negotiations (2/97, 5/97, 5/98, 4/99, 2/2000) "despite its (the National Movement) changing interrelationships after implementation of the Oslo agreements, in relation to the tasks of the democratic, political and social struggle". These initiatives took into consideration the fact that the essential aspect of the Palestinian National Movement is that it continues to promote the task of national liberation while committing itself to maintaining national unity within the framework of the PLO. The actual separation between the "Palestinian Authority" and the opposition does not essentially abolish this fact, although it may at times be distinguished by certain particularities.
4) The link between the political line and the organizational line
The DFLP crystallized an organizational work strategy at the same time that it developed its political strategy based on its interim program. This ensured the basis for mobilizing the forces of the Palestinian people. Within this context, the DFLP, along with its political initiatives that strengthened the national movement, contributed to various significant actions in the struggle.
A consistent feature in the DFLP's general policy is that there is an intimate relationship between the political line in each national circumstance and the organizational solutions that ensure, to the greatest degree, a national coalition among the various political and social forces. This link enables an efficient undertaking of the immediate tasks, and demonstrates the profound relationship between the actual situation and the people's movement.
The military operations that the DFLP waged (1974 1979) under the banner of the interim program presented a clear model of the correct relationship between armed struggle and political objectives. This occurred at a time when it was necessary to unify the people and their political forces behind this program in order to confront the unjust campaigns to which its vanguard and militants were exposed. At the same time, the organization did not lose sight of the main direction of the struggle and the need for direct military combat with Israel during the civil war in Lebanon, and the various confrontations within the region as well as confrontations against the different proposed American plans.
The DFLP's call for the formulation of a unified leadership for the popular uprising (Intifada) in the first weeks after its outbreak on December 9, 1987, and its initiative to formulate the aims and the missions of the uprising in Communiqué No.2 (January 10, 1988), is evidence of the DFLP's ability to understand public opinion and influence its development by proposing concrete tasks that respond to the people's actual situation, allowing them to best use their energies and abilities to accelerate the national struggle.
5) Going Beyond the Impasse of the Oslo Agreement
The Oslo Agreements, which considered the occupied Palestinian territories to be "disputable territories," led to partial redeployment of the Israeli army in this zone. The Agreements also led to the formation of an Autonomous Palestinian Authority that included a legislative structure with limited powers (The Palestinian Council) and an executive structure (ministries and other institutions) with internal and civil faculties over a part of the occupied Palestinian territories. In addition, the Agreements allowed for the continuation of settlement activity, expansion, and a continuation of the illegal occupation. It also allowed for 'civil' administration under Israeli military rule, complete Israeli control over much of Palestinian land, water and air space, and complete domination over the Palestinian economy.
The Oslo Agreements consist of two stages, transitional and permanent. The first stage involves ending the power of internationally recognized resolutions, which placed the Palestinian situation within a long and tedious process of negotiation, as well as within a chain of partial agreements that were not carried out by Israel. As a result, applying the Oslo Agreements meant the continuation of occupation, settlement building and expansion, and the further repression and confiscation of Palestinian national rights. The Agreements did not offer an adequate solution to the objective contradiction of interests between the Palestinian people and the occupying powers. On the contrary, they increased the contradiction. This contradiction was the main factor that instigated the eruption of the Great Palestinian Uprising (the Intifada of 1987 1993). The continuation of these contradictions perpetuates the possibility that the Intifada will occur again and again.
The crystallization of the Palestinian position to confront the dangers of this situation, in both the present and the future, regarding national rights, must rely upon regaining national consensus. It must also activate the mass movement to confront Israeli policy as a fait acompli against Palestinians, through the application of force and the repression of occupation. The international community supports national rights of Palestinians. These rights are also supported by a Declaration of Independence by the Palestinian people themselves, which includes the exercise of Palestinian sovereignty over the land area internationally acknowledged and acclaimed as Palestine (this includes the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip). The Palestinian position must call upon the Israeli government to hold negotiations which establish a permanent and balanced peace, on the basis of the application of U.N. Security Council Resolutions Nos. 242 and 338, which stipulate the exchange of land for peace, and a just solution for the problem of refugees and displaced persons through the implementation of U.N. Resolutions Nos. 194 and 237.
These negotiations should be held within the context of a suitable international framework. On the one hand, this framework must facilitate the recuperation of coordination between Palestinians and Arab nations regarding negotiations with Israel. On the other hand, the framework must ensure international supervision of the peace process, replacing the unilateral approach typically used by Washington with a dynamic participation of the United Nations along with other active coalitions and countries, especially the European Union, Russia and China in addition to U.S. authorities.
To ensure success of the above mentioned process requires the reconstruction of Palestinian unity so as to guarantee the underlying principles of resistance. This will enable Palestinians to face possible continuing Israeli aggression, as well as ensure the ongoing support of the Arab world and the international community. This requires a unified strategy of resistance based upon a total popular mobilization for confronting Israeli violence, as well as revitalizing the Intifada through the development of new forms of resistance.
6) The Organization and Its Key Conferences
Local organizations are represented in branch organizations, which in turn are represented in regional organizations. All of these different levels are oriented by the general political position as articulated by the central leadership of the DFLP. From this political position is derived a unified plan of action. In this framework, the regional organizations have wide latitude of independence in their work plans, with respect to the special and actual needs and realities of each Palestinian gathering.
The DFLP's central leadership is comprised of:
a) The General National Congress is the highest political and legislative authority elected by local organizations and organizational structures at higher levels. The Congress is held once every five years.
b) The General National Conference is also elected, and called upon at certain times when necessity warrants. The Conference has the same authority as the General Congress, but within the limits of its brief agenda.
c) The Central Committee is the primary political and organizational leadership elected by the General Congress. This election is held between two Congresses. The Central Committee meets four times per year.
d) The Political Bureau is the highest executive body of the Central Committee, and elected from among its members.
e) The Committees of Party Supervision, headed by a central supervisory committee, have the task of verifying the correct application of internal statutes, as well as guaranteeing the rights of members and organizational structures at different levels, including that of the central leadership. The mass democratic and professional organizations represent independent groups, with specific programs and internal regulations, and committee structures that are elected during their periodic congresses. The DFLP considers these organizations as a framework from which its supporters are organized, as well as one of the major organizational forms of the democratic revolutionary alliance. This alliance, which includes sectors of various social forces, mobilizes their abilities within the context of the national and social struggle.
The DFLP has held seven General National Congresses and Conferences.
1) The Founding Congress (the First General Congress) was held in August 1970, during which the first Central Committee was elected. This Congress issued the political program, the general program, and the internal provisional statutes.
2) The First General National Conference, which met in November 1971, issued internal statutes, which were proclaimed in 1972. The Conference also elected the second Central Committee, which adopted the interim program at its fourth session in August 1973, and which also adopted the political program and internal statutes in 1975, which affirmed the independence and distinct character of the DFLP organization in Jordan (Majed). This independence enabled the Majed organization, in 1978, to draw up its own political program and internal statutes in relation to the national democratic struggle in Jordan.
3) The Second General National Congress was held in May 1981. This Congress issued a theoretical, political and organizational report, reviewed the documents of the political program and the internal statutes, and elected the third Central Committee.
4) The Second General National Conference, held in July 1991, elected the fourth Central Committee. It also made basic amendments to the internal statutes, in light of the completion of the work of the DFLP organization in Jordan (Majed) and the establishment of the independent Jordanian People's Democratic Party (Hashd). This party reformulated its relationship with the DFLP, within the context of the work they have in common.
The Conference also analyzed a report that was specifically prepared to attempt to ascertain the root causes of the internal crisis within the DFLP, to draw out the lessons learned from this crisis, and to deepen the democratic process within the party.
5) The Third General National Congress, convened in September/October 1994, elected the Fifth Central Committee and approved a new formula for the political program, for the internal statutes, and for the political report about "The new tasks after the Oslo agreement". They also approved the theoretical themes about "The crises of the left in a changing era".
6) The Third General National Conference, held in January 1998, elected the sixth Central Committee and approved a complete political review of the Oslo agreements and the terms of an alternative national program.
7) The Fourth General National Congress, which was held in April/May 1998, approved a political report and presented a comprehensive national initiative dealing with: "Spreading the sovereignty of the Palestinian State over all of the Palestinian territory occupied in the aggression of 1967".

Even in his late 80s, former Florida State Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden can spot talent with the best of them.
In Lane Kiffin, the well-traveled head coach who has Florida Atlantic in their first bowl game since 2008, the Owls have found a gem, according to Bowden.
*More Boca Bowl coverage
*Bobby Bowden will watch son in Boca Bowl
"Lane's done a heck of a job, I can't believe it!" said Bowden, 88, who retired after the 2009 season. "Really, I can believe it because I'm seeing it happen, but he stepped right in and brought them a championship."
Kiffin, whose previous head coaching job was with USC in 2013, has guided the Owls (10-3) to more wins this season than the team had from 2014-16 combined (nine). Florida Atlantic will play the Akron Zips (7-6) — led by Bobby's son, Terry — in Tuesday's Boca Raton Bowl.
FAU's ten wins are a program best since moving to the Division I level in 2004. A win Tuesday would tie the program record of 11 set in 2003.
"I was surprised somebody didn't (hire Kiffin away) this year," Bowden said. "You see (former FSU coach Jimbo Fisher) is making $7 million, these other guys are making five, and I really think (Kiffin is) going to be in that class."
Monday's Boca Raton Bowl luncheon, which honored former University of Miami quarterback and Cardinal Newman High School coach Steve Walsh with the Palm Beach County Football Legends Award, saw two famous football families in the Bowdens and Kiffins unite. Both Bobby and Terry took pictures with Lane and his, Monte, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl-winning defensive coordinator who currently serves as the Owls pro liaison.
"I have followed (Lane's) progress now through the years," Bowden said. "He's a different man today than he was 10-15 years ago."
Woods invited to NFLPA Bowl: Fifth-year FAU senior receiver Kalib Woods will try to continue raising his NFL Draft stock after accepting an invite to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Monday.
Woods, who was suspended for the season's first six games following an offseason nightclub fight, has 20 catches for 540 yards and four touchdowns since returning in an Oct. 21 win over North Texas. Prior to the incident, Woods was projected as a potential late-round pick entering this season with a chance to climb draft boards.
Two of Woods' ex-teammates, Lucky Whitehead (2015) and Sharrod Neasman (2016), each used the NFLPA Bowl as a steppingstone to the NFL.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my Portraits!
In case you are new to portraiture, let me tell you a little bit about it. A portrait is something you can keep in your family literally for generations. If properly framed, the materials used - museum quality paper and pastel pencils - will last for decades without fading or discoloring. Your portrait will be drawn on a toned paper with a dark pastel and white pastel highlights.
The likeness acheived in your portrait is of course an extremely important element. This is why it is also extremely important that the photograph be one that you really like. I am limited to the visual information the photo gives me, so it should be very clear and cover about half of your computer screen when you open it. For other tips on photo submissions, click on the "photo tips" link below.
The procedure is very simple. After I receive your photo of the person whose portrait you want, I will begin. Once the protrait is finished or nearly finished, I will email you a copy for your approval. Upon approval, I will add finishing touches as necessary and then arrange for delivery of your completed portrait.
All portraits will be done to your satisfaction.
To Order:
Below are some sample portraits
All portraits are $125 for head and shoulders for all sizes up to 16" x 20".
All prices are per person.
High quality Prints available for family and friends, contact me for a quote.

You are here
The Chris Brown era began with a bang over the weekend, as his Eagles won silver in the season opener in Glendale, Colo. The feat sets the team up with an unexpectedly good start to Olympic qualification.
It comes as a surprise because it was the team's first-ever tournament under the rookie head coach. Brown took over for the jettisoned Richie Walker this summer, and while he has a track record of helping turnaround programs, a silver medal wasn't expected in his debut.
The weekend didn't start flawlessly. The Eagles opened with a 1-2 record Saturday, losses to New Zealand and England sandwiching a narrow victory over China.
Coming into the tournament, Brown's biggest focus was defense. All weekend, he urged his team to make opponents work as hard as possible for every score. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't. In their 35-12 pool win over the USA, the Black Ferns scored four first-half tries through 11 phases.
Sunday, the defense was markedly better, evidenced by a 26-5 walloping of Australia, winners of two of the last three World Series titles and defending Olympic gold medalists. The win was the Eagles' sixth over Australia on the circuit.
The first three came during the inaugural women's series in 2012/2013, and the next two during the 2014/2015 season, with the average margin of those victories being nine points. But since Australia emerged as a world power leading up to the Rio Olympics, the Eagles have been no match, getting shut out twice with an average margin of defeat of 21.
Sunday's comprehensive 26-5 quarterfinal win is by far the most emphatic ever over Australia, followed up by a nail biter against France. While most of the talk has been about Alena Olsen's game-winning try at the end, it was the USA's defense that was most impressive.
Unlike against New Zealand in the pool finale, the Eagles made France work for its tries. The Black Ferns scored 28 points in their 11 first-half phases Saturday, and Les Bleus needed 11 first-half phases to muster a single try in Sunday's semifinal.
Though the score line against New Zealand in the final (33-7) was similar to that of the pool loss (35-12), it'd be a mistake to chalk it up as a similar performance. In the final, the USA scored first, and they were an offload away from leading 14-7. They were 28 points in the hole before getting on the board in the pool loss.
Though defense was impressive against Australia and France, it took a step back in the final. The Eagles didn't force New Zealand to play more than three phases in a single possession the entire first half. Three times the Black Ferns scored on first phase.
So while there are some indicators suggesting the Eagles have improved in their short time under Brown, it would be premature to conclude they've turned a corner. Sunday marked the fifth final in program history, including one in each of the last four seasons.
Last season, the Eagles opened with a silver medal in Dubai, followed by an eighth-place finish the next tournament. In 2016/2017, they lost to Canada in the Sydney final, but managed just one other semifinal appearance the rest of the season, finishing sixth. In 2014/2015, they lost to the Black Ferns in Atlanta and finished fifth.
If this team is to differentiate itself from its predecessors and finish in the top four for the first time since the inaugural World Series season, they'll first need to back up their performance in Glendale with another solid showing in Dubai next month.
Really, though, if they're to show marked, substantial improvement, they'll have to avoid the bottom falling out at some point. Consistency has been the team's kryptonite – last season, the team failed to make the quarterfinals as many times as they made the semis. In both '16/17 and '15/16, the Eagles managed to finish second-to-last in a tournament.
For Brown's turnaround effort to be called a success and the team to punch its ticket to Tokyo with a top-four finish to the season, they need to contend consistently, avoiding major pitfalls they've dived head-first into in the past.

In 1960, while still working at the Looking Glass Library, Edward Gorey once again changed publishers for his next book. The Fatal Lozenge is the first of three books that would be published by Ivan Obolensky, Inc. of New York. I have always liked the name of this publisher because it seemed as though it should be one of Mr. Gorey's character's names.
Gorey was quoted as stating he switched pub- lishers fairly often because he would be ap- proached and con- vinced by a new publisher that they could increase sales of his illustrated volumes. He said he would switch publishers and after publishing a book or two, they would let him go (or drop him) due to limited sales figures and the process would begin afresh.
The Fatal Lozenge is Edward Gorey's first published "alphabet book". Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a character which appears in a four line poem (Apparition, Baby, Cad, Drudge, etc.), each poem being accompanied by a single illustration. Apart from being in alphabetical order, the individual poems do not relate to each other, but rather each turn of the page reveals a new personage who is involved in some sordid activity or misfortune.
The first edition of The Fatal Lozenge was published as a small paperback volume with $1.25 printed on the cover. On the second printing of this book the price has changed to $1.75, but otherwise they are identical. Because only the price has changed and no statement of a second printing appears inside the book, this is really a secondary binding and not a true second printing.
The Fatal Lozenge is another Gorey book that is hard to find in great condition since the dark blue of the cover was printed on white paper and over time becomes easily scuffed. This title is included in Amphigorey. Both my 1st/1st and secondary binding of The Fatal Lozenge are signed by Mr. Gorey and inscribed to me on the title page.
In 1961, an edition of The Fatal Lozenge was published in London under the Constable imprint. For the English first edition, the title was changed to The Gorey Alphabet and new cover art was created. The British first was printed as cloth hard cover book with no dust jacket and has shockingly pink covers! The cloth of this edition has a fairly rough texture to the weave, so it is surprising that Gorey's fine line work printed so well on the covers.

An MBA in Technology or Information Technology (IT) can be a rewarding step for many students.
Indeed, firms in the technology field, such as behemoths like Amazon, Google, and Facebook, are increasingly hungry for MBA talent to help drive their businesses. To land jobs in these and other companies, an MBA grad may need a unique combination of talents, including management skills and an understanding of complex technology.
Fortunately, an MBA in Technology can help meet these needs. A specialized MBA in the Technology field might cover a number of topics, perhaps including innovation, analytics, and supply chain management.
Post-MBA careers in technology can take many forms, from an information technology manager at a consulting firm to a director of data management. An MBA can help students interested in this field understand the managerial and strategic implications of technology in business. And increasingly, online businesses like Amazon and Google are hiring MBAs in management positions. Students who want a better understanding the technology itself can pursue hybrid degree options like an MS/MBA.
Haas' proximity to San Francisco and Silicon Valley make it an ideal choice for MBAs looking for jobs in the technology field. The school's top employers include a range of tech and internet firms, such as Google, eBay, and Adobe.

In Laos the power sockets are of type A, B, C, E and F. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.
Voltage and frequency
You can use your electric appliances in Laos, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 220 - 240 V (as is in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100 V - 127 V (as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries), you need a voltage converter in Laos. You can find voltage converters at Amazon. You can also consider a combined power plug adapter/voltage converter.

Lincoln Gorsuch, 83, of Crystal, Mich., and formerly of Dimondale, Mich., died Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018, in Alma, Mich.
Lincoln was born Feb. 12, 1935, in Wauseon, Ohio, the son of Clarence Henry and Orlena (Bailey) Gorsuch. He graduated from Morenci High School before enlisting in the U.S. Army, serving two years.
Following his service, he graduated from the Michigan State Police Academy, starting as a trooper in 1962. During his 10 years as a trooper, he concurrently attended Adrian College and earned his bachelor's degree. He later established himself as a forensic specialist and went on to a prominent career, serving an additional 15 years as a detective in the crime lab, retiring in 1987.
Lincoln was a member of the Lion's Club, MSP Troopers Association, and provided training to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, as well as providing expert witness services on countless occasions. After retirement, he operated as a private investigator.
With his children and his late wife, Marlene Reppert, he enjoyed raising and showing buckskin and quarter horses at the Eaton County 4-H Fair and across the country. Lincoln married Mary Jo Twitchell on July 9, 1983, and the two lived on Thornapple Lake.
Lincoln is remembered for his keen sense of humor, his love of animals, and his genuine ability to be "down to Earth." He possessed a natural musical talent, always carrying a harmonica, and playing the piano by ear into his final days. Above all, he loved his family.
In addition to his wife, Mary Jo, Lincoln is survived by daughters Julie (and Douglas) Anderson, Joy Gorsuch and Jennifer (and Eric) Lison; step-children, Kurt (and Lana) Hauffe and Dawn Steffes; 14 grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brother Harold (and Margy) Gorsuch.
He was preceded in death by two infant daughters, Jerolyn Sue Gorsuch and Twila Jane Gorsuch; and siblings Darrell Gorsuch, Jane Wills, Neva Vanlerberg, Donna Jones and Gaylen Gorsuch.
A memorial service is planned at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 28, at Pray Funeral Home. Visitation is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 27, at the funeral home. Interment will take place in Oak Grove Cemetery in Morenci, Mich.
Memorial donations are suggested to the Michigan State Troopers Association.
