| Similarities........The Origin of the Palestine-Israel ConflictWed, 07 Jan 2009 17:07:31 -0800 by ArchivesAlgeriennesPublished by Jews for Justice in the Middle EastAs the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the conflict. The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at fault, the Palestinians are irrational terrorists who have no point of view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes ? on both sides ? inevitably follow from this original injustice.This paper outlines the history of Palestine to show how this process occurred and what a moral solution to the regions problems should consist of. If you care about the people of the Middle East, Jewish and Arab, you owe it to yourself to read this account of the other side of the historical record.IntroductionT he standard Zionist position is that they showed up in Palestine in the late 19th century to reclaim their ancestral homeland. Jews bought land and started building up the Jewish community there. They were met with increasingly violent opposition from the Palestinian Arabs, presumably stemming from the Arabs inherent anti-Semitism. The Zionists were then forced to defend themselves and, in one form or another, this same situation continues up to today.The problem with this explanation is that it is simply not true, as the documentary evidence in this booklet will show. What really happened was that the Zionist movement, from the beginning, looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the indigenous Arab population so that Israel could be a wholly Jewish state, or as much as was possible. Land bought by the Jewish National Fund was held in the name of the Jewish people and could never be sold or even leased back to Arabs (a situation which continues to the present).The Arab community, as it became increasingly aware of the Zionists intentions, strenuously opposed further Jewish immigration and land buying because it posed a real and imminent danger to the very existence of Arab society in Palestine. Because of this opposition, the entire Zionist project never could have been realized without the military backing of the British. The vast majority of the population of Palestine, by the way, had been Arabic since the seventh century A.D. (Over 1200 years)In short, Zionism was based on a faulty, colonialist world view that the rights of the indigenous inhabitants didnt matter. The Arabs opposition to Zionism wasnt based on anti-Semitism but rather on a totally reasonable fear of the dispossession of their people.One further point: being Jewish ourselves, the position we present here is critical of Zionism but is in no way anti-Semitic. We do not believe that the Jews acted worse than any other group might have acted in their situation. The Zionists (who were a distinct minority of the Jewish people until after WWII) had an understandable desire to establish a place where Jews could be masters of their own fate, given the bleak history of Jewish oppression. Especially as the danger to European Jewry crystalized in the late 1930s and after, the actions of the Zionists were propelled by real desperation.But so were the actions of the Arabs. The mythic land without people for a people without land was already home to 700,000 Palestinians in 1919. This is the root of the problem, as we shall see.

| Ondestrak - Without Timbre FiltersWed, 07 Jan 2009 17:06:22 -0800 by craigtorsoThis is a video demonstrating my Ondestrak, a musical controller for MaxMSP. It's inspired by the Ondes Martenot and built from a Gametrak video game controller. The pitches are fairly imprecise here but I'm more or less riffing on the song Good Vibrations which, incidentally, features a Tannerin, an instrument conceptually similar to the Ondes Martenot. In this video I do not have the Ondestrak programmed to respond to the joysticks on either end of the ribbon controller. It is only outputting an unfiltered sine wive, varying in intensity with pressure asserted to the hinged base-board and varying in pitch with the position of the ribbon controller.See the full instructions for building an Ondestrak on the Instructables website.

| You Are Already An EntrepreneurWed, 07 Jan 2009 17:04:59 -0800 by IssacBenAvramhttp://explodeyourbu sinessonline.comWe all have worked for somebody. The only difference is, they hold the title of ownership and we had the title of employee. In essence if you are working and have a job you are an entrepreneur. No one is really forcing you to work at that job. YOU decided to work at that job!What I want you to realize isEVERYONE GETS PAID COMISSION.Weather you realize it or not, everyone GETS PAID commissions!!!The company you are working for, no matter what the company is, has to make a profit, and if they do not make a profit, you do not get paid. I want you to understand the mindset between an entrepreneur, one who realizes that their commissions are set by them, and not limited by another entrepreneur (meaning someone you work for who is an entrepreneur), or an employee who thinks someone else decides how much money they make through their J.O.B .If you are like me whom is not psychologically confined by others limits and want to literally live the life they want of every second of EVERY minute, you might want to consider an opportunity that will GET you there. The opportunity of being yourself, help others grow as you grow, and creating the kind of income that allows you to live the life style YOU desire.The most important thing to understand is, you are NOT here to live for someone else. No one knows you better than you. And there is no one more important in the world to YOU than YOU. Once you understand the principles I shared with you here, you realize that there are no walls to how much money you can make. There is no one really telling you STOP at 20 grand a month. Or 30 or 40. YOU decide where you want to stop and you decide how far you want to go. To not make that kind of money is to leave it for others to decide for you. And I know all of you who want to be FREE of your J.O.B will join the opportunity that will teach you and brand you so that you can make the kind of money you deserve. http://explodeyourbu sinessonline.comI think most people do not realize that they actually decide the kind of money they want to make. I am here to help you realize that you DO decide. By nature NO ONE decides for you. The make belief is that you decide on others terms how much money YOU make. And in the beginning when working for someone else that may be true. But once you join multiple business opportunities like you have here at http://explodeyourbu sinessonline.comYou are given a key, that once you decide to turn, will literally start you on a path to becoming a millionaire if not a billionaire in short 2 short years (if you take seriously the opportunity, give it the right attention, due diligence, and apply the information!) I am not making any promises, but I will say that the opportunity to quit your job SOONER than LATER ---IS--- possible.So are you ready to claim what is already inherently yours???The ball is in your court and the clock IS tickingMake a decision now to own your life. And RememberBy not deciding IS to decide. It is either the J.O.B for the next 40-55 years of your life and hope to have enough money saved for retirement, or building your foundation to success starting right here and right NOW..Click Below To Get Start In Your Journey To Truly Enjoying Your Life!http://explodey ourbusinessonline.co m Related: entrepreneur business online marketing internet | |

| Inn on Ferry StreetWed, 07 Jan 2009 16:56:25 -0800 by travelandtransitionsMy abode for my last two days in Detroit was the Inn on Ferry Street, a beautifully renovated complex of six historic buildings. It encompasses four mansions as well as two carriage houses that were each built for prominent Detroit families. After many years of languishing, these buildings have been re-functioned into 42 stunning guest rooms.Ferry Street itself is a historic street in the Midtown Detroit District, which is also referred to as Detroits Cultural Centre. It is surrounded by a large number of museums, including the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Museum of African American History, the Detroit Historical Museum, the Main Branch of the Detroit Public Library, the Detroit Science Centre and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.I had a chance to sit down with Sue Mosey, the driving force behind the renovation of the six buildings that make up the Inn on Ferry Street. Sue is an urban planner and the President of the University Cultural Center Association, a non-profit organization that has aided in planning and developing nearly $400 million in new residential projects in Detroits Midtown area.Under the guidance of the University Center Cultural Association, the Inn on Ferry Street was renovated at a cost of about $8.5 million and today features 42 gorgeously designed guest rooms, a large breakfast room (breakfast is included free of charge), a business centre with complimentary meeting space for guests and great common areas in all the buildings that allow the guests to socialize and relax.Sue and I talked about the socio-economic history of Detroit and the unique factors that shaped this city. We also touched on some of the planned new developments and some of the festivals and special events that highlight the calendar of the city.The Inn on Ferry Street itself is a great hospitality establishment with excellent amenities. In addition to the business centre, it provides free Internet access, a free shuttle service covering the midtown and downtown areas, valet service and room service. A big breakfast buffet is available every day from 6 am to 10 am at no extra charge, and coffees, teas and fresh fruit are available during the day.I was staying in a two bedroom suite with a separate sitting room in the Raymond C. Smith Carriage House that was built in 1892 and holds seven guest bedrooms. The Scott House is the main building of the complex since it is the location of the reception area, the breakfast room and the business centre. It also features 3 guest bedrooms.The Pungs House was built in 1892 for a railway magnate and holds nine uniquely decorated guest bedrooms while the Owen House dates back to 1887 and used to belong to the owner of a dry goods firm. It consists of seven luxurious bedrooms and two large executives. The main floor holds a glamorous parlour with a baby grand piano and two fireplaces.The Roehm House finally was constructed in 1888 for the president of the Detroit Carriage Company. Nine guest bedrooms are located here and the popular second floor suite offers ultimate luxury with its Jacuzzi tub, private balcony and Asian influenced décor.The Inn on Ferry Street offers a great location in Detroits Cultural Center and is a prime example of some of the architectural rejuvenation that has been happening in various parts of the city.
