Bob Mulholland is a political operative in the California Democratic Party and a member of the Democratic National Committee for California.

Early life
Son of a World War II veteran, Mulholland fought in the Vietnam War, where he served in the 101st Airborne division, 1967–68. He had supported the war at first, but changed his mind as the war dragged on.

Political career

1970s and 1980s: Tom Hayden
Mulholland started his political career by working with antiwar activist Tom Hayden. The two men had met in the summer of 1975. Mulholland worked with Hayden for 15 years, and ran his two first campaigns for the California State Assembly.

1990s and 2000s: political consultant
In 1987, Mulholland became consultant for the California Democratic Party, and for the British Labour Party a few years later.

The November 1991 San Francisco Bay Guardian alleged Mulholland intercepted voter registration cards from Democratic Party voter registration tables of voters who had re-registered Green Party, sending the card back to the voter with a letter on state Democratic Party letterhead, reprinted by the Guardian, asking the voter to reconsider the change of party. After the Green party complained about this to the Secretary of State, Mulholland promised such things would not happen again. Withholding a voter registration card for more than three days is a misdemeanor in California.

During the 1990s, Mulholland acquired the hatred of Republicans, especially in his home state of California, due to a series of incidents, and statements he made. He was subsequently labelled "The US Democrats' leading dirty trickster" by The Guardian columnist Ed Harriman. Mulholland believed that, in politics, "people don't remember the good things about your guy. They remember the bad things about the other guy. That's what sticks. You gotta go negative to win." As such, Mulholland would search for dirt in his opponent's past (divorce, bankruptcy, child support problems), and throw it at them during the election campaign.

An example of this tactic can be seen during the 1992 United States Senate election in California, where Mulholland disrupted one of Bruce Herschensohn's campaign appearance with a large poster advertising a strip club shouting "Should the voters of California elect someone who frequently travels the strip joints of Hollywood?" Herschensohn admitted he had visited a strip club once, with his girlfriend and another couple. With press coverage of the story, Herschensohn spent the waning days of the campaign denying related allegations. Democratic candidate Barbara Boxer ended up winning the election by five points. Mrs. Boxer denounced Mulholland, and then party chairman Phil Angelides suspended him from his job as the party's political director.  He was reinstated two weeks later.

During the 1996 United States presidential election, Mulholland suggested that democrats should follow Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole in walking cigarettes costume, and label him "Mr. Puff" to highlight his ties to the tobacco industry.

Mulholland's participation in the 2000 United States presidential election recount in Florida reportedly induced anxiety among Republicans, fearing he would not act in an impartial manner in this position.

Mulholland was very critical of then-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He claimed that "Arnold Schwarzenegger is a scoundrel, he's not a man who keeps his word. He'll look you in the face, make a pledge and then an hour later will say the opposite. His tenure has been all sizzle, no steak. He's acting as if he's still on stage. Truth or lies, it's of no concern: he's lied all his life to promote his career." On his height, Mulholland claimed Schwarzenegger was 5'10" (instead of his official height of 6'2") and that he wore "risers in his boots", a metaphor for his political ambitions.

He participated in killing a 2007 proposal that the party censure U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein for her failure to oppose the confirmation of Judge Michael Mukasey as U.S. Attorney General.  He is quoted as saying "It is going to be thrown out and rejected. Sometimes people can't anticipate or can't understand the big picture."

In the 2008 United States presidential election, he criticized John McCain for his age and for contemplating a campaign for California's electoral votes.

2010s: Democratic National Committee proposals
Mulholland is a member of the Democratic National Committee from California, and a superdelegate at the Democratic National Convention. Mulholland supported Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries.

In February 2017, Mulholland was a vocal opponent of a DNC resolution which would have banned donations from Corporate Political action committees to the DNC. This ban was first imposed by presidential nominee Barack Obama in 2008, but was removed by then-DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz in 2016. Mulholland also opposed the nomination Keith Ellison as DNC chairman, calling him a "tax cheat", and thus unqualified for this position. Mulholland was referring to an unpaid traffic ticket which lead to Ellison's drivers licence being suspended in 2006.

In October 2017, Mulholland proposed a resolution at the DNC urging Independent Senators Bernie Sanders from Vermont and Angus King from Maine to join the Democratic Party, with which they are already caucusing. The resolution was denied a vote at the meeting.

During this DNC meeting in October 2017, Mulholland suggested that it is useless for the Democratic Party to do outreach for rural white voters. "The majority of white people in America have not voted for us since 1964," he said. "White people… are not interested in our program."

Mulholland has been a vocal critic of the proposal to significantly decrease the influence of superdelegates in the democratic presidential candidate nomination process. Mulholland compared it to the violent suppression of the civil rights movement. In an email to Tom Perez and Keith Ellison, he accused them of "conspiring with Bernie Sanders to block Congress members John Lewis, Maxine Waters, Barbara Lee and the rest of the congressional delegation, Governors, State Party Chairs and the rest of us DNC Members from entering our Convention floor in 2020 as voters", with an attached picture of the police beating Lewis in 1965 during a civil rights protest. "I don’t know if you will have paid thugs at the doorways to beat up Congressman Lewis and the rest of us or not", he added. Mulholland also suggested that this proposal is part of a Russian plot. He bases this claim on the fact that an avowed Jill Stein voter from West Virginia has been attending multiple DNC's rule and bylaws committee national meetings to promote the proposal. Mulholland wrote that he then "concluded someone is picking up her expenses" and that "The Putin operation is still active." He admitted he processes no evidence for this claim.

Bob Mulholland had initially endorsed California Senator Kamala Harris in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. After she dropped out, he endorsed former Vice-President Joe Biden in December 2019. Ahead of the 2020 US Presidential election, he warned Democrats that defeating Donald Trump could be challenging because of the President's innate ability "to talk with the everyday voter".

Family
He is married to Jane Dolan, who was defeated June 2010 in her reelection for Butte County Supervisor of the second district in California after over 30 years of service in this position.

Bùi Thị Xuân (, d. 1802) was a Vietnamese female general during the Tây Sơn's era.

Biography
General Bùi Thị Xuân was born in Bình Khê District (now Tây Sơn District), Bình Định Province. She is said to have learned martial arts as a child, and was reputedly a strong woman. Legend has it that she once rescued Trần Quang Diệu, who later became her husband, from a tiger. She and Trần Quang Diệu joined the Tây Sơn Rebellion early, and won many battles. She helped the Tây Sơn army train elephants, which participated in many battles. She became known as one of the five principal women in the Tây Sơn Dynasty.

When Phú Xuân (Huế) fell to Nguyễn Ánh, she followed king Cảnh Thịnh to Nghệ An, commanded 5000 troops and fought the Nguyễn forces in Trấn Ninh (Quảng Bình Province). In the second month of 1802, the Nguyễn forces became victorious. She joined her husband in Nghệ An and they were captured together by the Nguyễn forces. Both of them were executed; her husband was either beheaded or skinned, while she and her teenage daughter were crushed to death by an elephant. Today, she is celebrated as a Vietnamese hero. Many major cities have schools and streets named after her.

Mitrates are an extinct group of stem group echinoderms, which may be closely related to the hemichordates. Along with the cornutes, they form one half of the Stylophora.

Morphology
The organisms were a few millimetres long.  Like the echinoderms, they are covered in armour plates, each of which comprises a single crystal of calcite.  This is one of the features they share with the latter group, along with a water vascular system, only discovered in 2019. However, they do not display the familiar fivefold symmetry that more recent echinoderms possess, instead being close to (but not fully) bilaterally symmetrical.

Their heads had two sides; one, flat, was covered with large "pavement-like" plates, the other, convex, bore smaller plates.
Their tails were long and segmented, resembling the stalk of a crinoid or the arm of a brittlestar.  At the opposite end was a hole which may have been mouth or anus - or both.

They also bear features reminiscent of pharyngeal slits, a character lost in other echinoderms but present in hemichordates, causing R.P.S. Jefferies to hold them as the ancestor of all chordates.

Behaviour

Mitrates have been found with associated trace fossils. Their interpretation requires an understanding of how the animal was oriented in life; it's not agreed whether the convex side of the head was up or down, or indeed whether the "tail" was at the front or back of the organism.  The trace fossils suggest that they pulled themselves through the mud with their "tail", and were flat-side up.

Guarino Foscari (c. 1080 - 6 February 1158) was an Italian Catholic Augustinian canon regular and also the Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina from December 1144 after his relative Pope Lucius II elevated him into the cardinalate.

He is better known as "Guarinus of Palestrina" and is noted for his charitable compassion for the poor of Palestrina.

Pope Alexander III canonized him as a saint of the Roman Catholic of Church in 1159.

Life
Guarino Foscari was born in Bologna around 1080; he was a member of the noble Guarini household while his mother was a Foscari.

Foscari was well educated and was quite fond of literature. Despite opposition from his parents he was ordained to the priesthood at the age of 24. He was later named as the Canon of the Cathedral of Bologna. He was still a priest when around 1104 he joined the Santa Croce Congregation of canons at Mortara. Prior to his departure he donated all of his goods for the building of a hospital.

At the age of 59 he was elected to fill an opening that the death of the bishop of Pavia created but evaded his episcopal consecration when he climbed out of a window. He went into hiding until another election was held.

During the Advent season of 1144, Pope Lucius II sent for him and he again attempted to avoid higher office. Lucius II had Guarino arrested, but he escaped for a brief period of time. But soon after Lucius II had him appointed in December 1144 as the Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina. He also bestowed on him a number of gifts suitable to a person of his new standing, including some fine horses, which Guarino sold and distributing the funds to the poor.

Feeling unworthy of the position, he left his post twice. The first time, he was recalled from Subiaco due to the orders of Pope Eugene III. The second time he went to Ostia, but finding Saracens there, he fled to Rome. He was bishop for thirteen years and remained out of the troublesome Roman politics that so defined the time and temperament of Rome. As a cardinal he participated in three conclaves that saw the elections of Eugene III, Pope Anastasius IV, and Pope Adrian IV.

He died at the age of 78 on 6 February 1158; he was loved for his humility and also for his great generosity to the poor. He was canonized by Pope Alexander III in 1159.

Guarino was buried in the crypt of the Cathedral of Sant'Agapito. In 1473 Palestrina was looted and his remains were hidden for fear of desecration. Although a search was made in 1754, they were not located.

The King and Winge Shipbuilding Company was an important maritime concern in the early 1900s on Puget Sound.  The shipyard was located at West Seattle.  The owners were Thomas J. King (1843–1925) and Albert M Winge.  King was born in Boston and learned to build ships under the famous Donald McKay.  He came to Puget Sound in about 1880, and worked in the shipyards of Hall Bros. and T.W. Lake before starting his own shipyard with Winge.  King’s partner, Albert L. Winge was a native of Norway.

Early marine construction

In 1902, the passenger steamer Lady of the Lake, built at Lake Washington in 1897, burned and was rebuilt in 1905 by King and Winge as the tug Ruth.
In 1909, the steam tug Elk was wrecked at Restoration Point but was salvaged and towed to King and Winge for repairs. In February 1911, the gas schooner E.L. Dwyer capsized at a pier in Seattle, as her cook, almost submerged in cold salt water, was incongruously shouting "Fire, fire!"  She was repaired at King and Winge. Also in 1911, the cannery tender Catharine M., of the Pillar Point Packing Company, was wrecked in Alaska.  She was salved sufficiently to be returned to Seattle in 1912 to the King and Winge shipyard, where she was rebuilt and refitted with a Union gasoline engine.

Seal hunting in the Arctic, which had come close to exterminating the herds, was banned in 1911 by the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention of 1911.  This meant a number of sealing boats had to be converted to other duties, which included the schooner Casco, which many years before had been one of the boats on which Robert Louis Stevenson cruised the south seas.  King and Winge converted installed a gasoline auxiliary engine in her and converted her to serve in the halibut fishery.

Building of the King & Winge

By 1914, King and Winge had built or acquired two power halibut schooners, the ex-Ragnhild, now named the Tom & Al (presumably named after Tom King and Al Winge) and the Gjoa.  The Tom & Al, 65' long, was built in 1900 and was still in operation as late as 1962 as a dragger and whaler under Eben and Frank Parker of Astoria, Oregon.

In that year, the firm built to add to their halibut boats, their most well-known vessel, the King & Winge, originally a halibut schooner.  King & Winge was considered the most modern halibut schooner yet constructed. She had a  engine, and electric lights.

Later years
In 1919, the yard rebuilt the well-known steamer Bellingham (ex-Willapa, ex-General Miles) into a barge.

Thomas J. King died in 1924, but the shipyard continued, at least for a time.  In 1925, King and Winge repowered the former steam ferry Puget with an oil engine, so the boat could be run on the Puget Sound Navigation Company’s Anacortes–Vancouver route. The yard name later changed to King Shipbuilding Co. About the same time the yard converted the steamboat Clatawa into an autocarrier.

Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd (1868 – 1942) was an early 20th-century American writer. She published at least 10 novels, mostly written for young women.

Childhood
Eleanor was on January 31, 1868 at Plum Grove Historic House in Iowa City, Iowa, the historic home of Robert Lucas. Her parents, Walter Hoyt and Louisa Smith, were active in the abolitionist movement. Walter's family helped found Eleutherian College. Eleanor's 1919 novel, Our Little Old Lady, is a biography of her parents.

Career

Eleanor began her professional career in New York City as a writer and editor for the New York Sun, specializing in fashion writing. Her novel In Vanity Fair drew heavily from her coverage of fashion in Paris and New York. She published extensively in magazines, including Collier's, The Girl's Own Paper, Ladies' Home Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, and Everybody's Magazine, typically in serial format. Her fictional novels often follow the same formula as the Pollyanna or Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm series, in which a young girl, often an orphan, tries to improve the lives of adults through pluck and daring.

Three of Eleanor's novels were made into silent films, Pegeen (1920), How Could You, Jean? (1918), and For Love of Mary Ellen (1915). How Could You, Jean?, the most famous of the films, was directed by William Desmond Taylor and starred Mary Pickford.

Personal life
Many of Eleanor's novels were written in East Hampton, Connecticut, at her “Faraway Farm” retreat. In 1904 she married attorney Charles Chisholm Brainerd, the nephew of the well-known writer Margaret Elizabeth Sangster. Charles and Eleanor retired to Pasadena, California and are buried in Oakland Cemetery, Iowa City.

She died on March 18, 1942.

Rev.Otto Faller SJ (18 February 1889 – 16 May 1971) was Provincial Superior of the Jesuit order in Germany, educator, teacher and Dean at Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria and Kolleg St. Blasien in Germany, professor of patristic studies at the Gregorian University.  He was lifelong editor of the works of St. Ambrose. At the request of Pope Pius XII, he contributed to the preparation of the dogma of the assumption of Mary and organized new Papal charity and Papal refugee offices during World War II.

Life

Early years

Otto Faller was born on 18 February 1889 in Saig, a small village in the Black Forest. He entered the Jesuit Order in 1910. As Jesuits had been outlawed in Germany since the time of the Kulturkampf,  he studied theology in Tisis, Austria, and Valkenburg, Holland. After his philosophical and theological studies, he studied classical languages in Vienna and Münster,  Germany. Otto Faller obtained two doctorates, in theology and philosophy. In 1918 he was ordained priest and in 1924 he began teaching at the prestigious Kolleg Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria.

Educator
At first educator, then teacher, he was named director (dean) of the Stella Matutina Kolleg in Feldkirch, Austria.  After the Nazis passed the "1000 Mark law" in 1933, which de facto prohibited any German entering Austria without prior payment of the tax and thus excluded German students from attending Austrian schools, he helped in the foundation of  Kolleg St. Blasien in the Black Forest and became its dean.  Five years later, the National Socialist forced the closing of the school, which was to become an Adolf Hitler school. Like several other Jesuits, he was asked to leave Germany, despite an ardent protest by the local bishop.

Assistant to Pope Pius XII
Otto Faller went to Rome, where the General of the Jesuit Order Wlodimir Ledochowski named him Professor at the Gregorian University and Father Superior at the Scriptorium,  then the residence of Jesuit scholars in Rome. Together with Monsignor Ferdinando Baldelli, he was asked in 1943 by Pope Pius XII to develop a Papal charity Pontificia Commissione di Assistenza  from scratch. This was developed quickly in cooperation with the charity efforts of Sister Pascalina Lehnert and Monsignore Giovanni Battista Montini. In 1944 the Pope asked him to form a new Papal refugee office to assist the tens of thousands of displaced persons in Italy.

In this capacity he was involved in the organisation of charities, especially food items, clothing and shelter for Italians and displaced persons,  the negotiation of the transfer of all portable religious art from Monte Cassino, prior to its destruction. Much effort was devoted behind the scenes to a plan by the Pope, to create a Papal fleet in order to allow refugees to leave Europe for the Americas and to bring in badly needed food shipments from there;  safe conduct could not be obtained by the war parties.

Career After 1946

After the war in 1946 he returned to the Black Forest and reopened Kolleg St. Blasien against the initial advice of his superiors, but with significant material assistance of Pope Pius XII via Madre Pascalina Lehnert. In 1949, he initiated the formation of a nationwide Jesuit alumni association.

As a leading educator and Dean,  Faller had experienced the State, to determine content and orientation of education on a local and national level at the expense of private educational institutions. In 1949,  he formed an alliance of Catholic, Protestant and secular non-governmental schools to assure some freedom for private educational institutions especially in the State of Baden-Württemberg. They succeeded in influencing relevant legislation in several State parliaments and on the national level. On 24 September 1967, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany awarded him the pour le merite first class for his effort.

In 1950, the Jesuit general Jean-Baptiste Janssens named Father Otto Faller the head the German Jesuit Province,  which included in those days the province of Kerala in  India and parts of Indonesia. As Provincial, he continued pushing for the interests of private schools in Germany. In 1951, he forwarded all necessary documentation for the beatification of Rupert Mayer to Rome,  and successfully supported it:  Only five years later, in 1956,  Pope Pius XII  declared Rupert Mayer a Servant of God.  Otto Faller was considered to be intelligent, compassionate, caring but also strict as superior.  In 1970, he referred apologetically to this:  Do not remind me of the time of my youthful transgressions. After a  heart attack in 1956, he stepped down and continued his publications of Ambrose for the Commission for Editing the Corpus of the Latin Church Fathers (CSEL) in Vienna, Austria. He died at Kolleg St. Blasien on 16 May 1971.

Writings
Many of the writings of Faller are in various Journals. In Stimmen der Zeit, Otto Faller published a number of articles on patristic topics. Aside from his book on the assumption, his main focus was St. Ambrose.

Dogma of the Assumption of Mary
While in Rome, preparations for the dogma of the Assumption of Mary were underway. Because the early centuries of Christianity were silent on this, the Church had a problem of explanation. Pope Pius XII asked Otto Faller, then a patristic scholar at Gregorian University,  to research this issue. Faller published his book in 1946, On the Silence of the Early Centuries in Latin. The publication, while getting the praises of Pope Pius XII and Pope Paul VI,  did not put all questions to rest and he did not continue this line of thought after 1946.

Saint Ambrose of Milan

Earlier, Otto Faller began research on the writings of Ambrose of Milan, one of only four Church Fathers and a Doctor of the Church. His publications focused on the authenticity of several writings attributed to Ambrose. At the expressed wish of Pope Pius XI, a devoted Ambrose scholar and former head of the Ambrosian Library, he began research with a text critical edition of the works of Ambrose underway for the Academy of Science in Vienna since 1860.  He published Ambrose works on the sacraments, explanation of symbols, the mysteries, confession, fath, Holy Spirit, and the death of emperors Theodosius and Valentinian. The letters of Ambrose he completed shortly before his death, but without, the all important prolegomena, which would have explained his apparatus and methods. Therefore, his last Ambrose publication Epistulae et acta raised some methodological questions.

People of the Book is a 2008 historical novel by Geraldine Brooks.  The story focuses on imagined events surrounding the protagonist and real historical past of the still extant Sarajevo Haggadah, one of the oldest surviving Jewish illuminated texts.

Plot summary
The novel tells the fictional story of Dr. Hanna Heath, an Australian book conservator who comes to Sarajevo to restore the Haggadah. Her work on the book leaves her with questions: why is the book illustrated, unlike other Haggadot? Why was the last restoration job, a hundred years earlier, done so poorly? What happened to the metal clasps that once held the parchment pages pressed together? How did the Haggadah come from fifteenth-century Spain to the Balkans? In the course of the restoration she takes microscopic samples: fragments of a butterfly's wing caught in the spine, a long white cat hair tangled in the binding, traces of salt crystals, a wine stain mixed with blood.

The story alternates between showing Hanna researching the Haggadah in the present, searching archives and taking her samples to forensic labs, and following the history of the Haggadah across five hundred years, in reverse chronological order, revealing the (fictional) explanations for all of Hanna's discoveries.

Factual background
The book's Afterword briefly explains which parts of the novel are based on fact and which are imaginary.  Geraldine Brooks wrote an article for The New Yorker that provides more details about the Sarajevo Haggadah and its real-life rescuers, especially Dervis Korkut, who hid it from the Nazis.  It also explains that Lola, the young Jewish guerrilla fighter in the novel, is based on a real person named Mira Papo, who was sheltered by Dervis Korkut and his wife Servet.

Critical reception
The novel has been compared with Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, with USA Today calling it an erudite version of Brown's work, while other reviewers have noted that it is slower paced, that there are no cliffhangers, and that readers "are never convinced . . . (by its) contrived and clichéd personal story."

Crime in Israel is low. According to the Israel Police, the general crime rate dropped in 2020, while cyber crimes, domestic violence and sexual abuse incidents rose.

Homicide
In Israel the homicide rate is relatively low: in 2015, there were 2.4 people killed per 100,000 inhabitants (in Switzerland the number is 0.71, in Russia it is 14.9, in South Africa it is 34, in Venezuela it is 49). In 2009, 135 people were murdered in Israel.

The percentage of women killed by their partners who were Arab decreased from 9 out of 11 in 2009 to 10 out of 15 in 2010 and 11 out of 24 in 2011.

According to Israel's police, the number of murders is continually decreasing. In 2018, 103 people were the victims of homicide, compared with 136 people in 2017. The murder rate in 2018 was 1.14 people per 100,000 inhabitants

Hate crimes
Racist incidents, including violence, continue taking place between the Jewish majority and Arab minority. Arab–Jewish race riots have occurred on several occasions.

In September 2007, eight white supremacists sporting tattoos including the number 88 (code for "Heil Hitler" because "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet) from Petah Tikva were arrested after a year of being observed desecrating synagogues, giving Nazi salutes in the street, attacking religious Jews, collecting weapons, explosives and spreading Nazi propaganda and making a video. They were immigrants from Russia, and only one was fully Jewish. The rest had been allowed to immigrate due to some Jewish ancestry, but were not fully Jewish.

According to Palestinian officials, between 2005 and 2015, there were 11,000 attacks on Palestinians by Jews in the West Bank and in east Jerusalem, including price tag attacks. Between 2010 and 2015, three Palestinians were killed in arson attacks. Arson attacks on property were reported for 15 individual houses, 20 mosques and four churches. In first four months of 2018, there were 13 cases of hate crimes carried out by ultra-nationalists against Palestinians.

Attacks by Palestinians on Israelis are frequent though the rate varies over time. Since September, 1993 at least 1,671 Israelis have been killed in hate crimes by Palestinians. In 2022 the government of Israel recorded 5,326 terror attacks, resulting in 31 deaths and 415 injuries. In the first six months of 2023 there were 3,640 terror attacks on Israelis, resulting in 28 deaths and 362 injuries.

Property crimes
Director of the Latin American Institute of the American Jewish Committee in Washington, D.C. Dina Siegel, criminology professor H. G. van de Bunt, and lecturer in criminology Damián Zaitch showed in their book Global Organized Crime  that a significant amount of crime in Israel, especially property crime, is committed by the residents of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA or PA).

Motor vehicle theft is a major crime committed by Palestinians. Since the early 1990s, there has been an increase in the rate of robberies in Israel. Between 1994 and 2001, the rate of robberies increased from 14.0 to 30.6 cases per 100,000 population. The reason behind this increase in robberies is analyzed as a result of the establishment of the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza Strip which according to the book Global Organized Crime "serves as a safe haven for Palestinian offenders". However, the organized crime industry associated with motor vehicle theft involves not only Palestinians, but also Israeli citizens, both Jewish and Arab. The parts of the stolen cars are removed in "chop shops" in the Palestinian territories and then these vehicles are sold in the black market in Israel. Media reports suggest some of these vehicles are even handed over to high-ranking Palestinian Authority officials. It was reported that since the beginning of 2010 through the end of February 2010, the Palestinian Authority police had destroyed 910 stolen cars.

Although Palestinian criminals are involved in organized crime in the country, Siegel et al. suggested one should not conclude that "organized crime in Israel is dominated by Palestinians. Organized crime committed by Jews or other non-Palestinians has been part of the Israeli crime scene for many years".

Organized crime

Organized crime has increased dramatically in Israel since the 1990s and is described by the BBC and the Israeli Police as a "booming industry". The Israeli organised crime groups have extended their activities in foreign countries like the United States, South Africa, and the Netherlands. According to a report by the Israel Police, drug trafficking, trafficking of women for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation, illicit gambling, pirate filling stations and real estate are the major forms of crime in the country.

In 2002, the Israel Police documented 464,854 criminal files and non-prosecution cases while the number was 484,688 in 2003. This was an increase of 4.5% over 2002.

Israeli police, according to a Channel 12 report, have claimed there is a conflict of interest between themselves and the Shin Bet when it comes to cracking down on illegal arms and crime in Arab society. The latter works in terms of a mission of "national security" and provides immunity to figures in organized crime who are prepared to act as informants.

Arms trafficking
Arms trafficking is another form of crime and it is directly associated with terrorism. There are many links between Israeli and Palestinian gangsters that facilitate these ventures.

Juvenile crime
Violence against minors is also a problem in Israel. In 1999, approximately 7,000 cases of crimes against minors were documented which included physical assault (54%), molestation (37%) and repeated physical victimization (9%). However, Israeli minors are not solely the victims of crime, they are also sometimes the perpetrators. Teenage violence in schools is a problem in Israel; the first major study on teenage crime in the nation by T. Horowitz and M. Amir in 1981 indicated three major forms of violence in Israeli schools: theft, breaking and entering, and vandalism. Studies have suggested that Israeli Arab youth are more violent than Jews in the country, a fact which academics attribute to cultural, social, and economic differences.

Prisons and prison population

According to official data only about a quarter of the prisoners held in Israeli jails are Jews. 73 percent of overall prisoners are non-Jewish security prisoners and criminal prisoners together. The number of Ethiopian-Israeli Jews minors imprisoned in Ofek Prison is approximately 20%, 27 out of 135 minors prisoners and 27 out of 65 Jewish prisoners in this prison.

Pay per play (PPP), also known as cash per play (CPP), is an online advertising method that plays an audio advertisement on websites.  The term "pay per play" comes from advertisers paying for each audio ad played.  Also, the web page playing the audio ad is normally paid for each ad they serve.  Ads are typically automatically played when a visitor loads a web page.  Most commonly initiated via JavaScript, audio ads normally cannot be stopped once they start.  Audio ads vary in length, and a website visitor will usually hear only one advertisement per visit to any specific web page.

In radio advertising, the term "pay per play" can also refer to a relationship between advertisers and audio ad producers.

Mixberry Media launched a form of PPP allowing audio enabled web sites and mobile applications to request targeted audio ads in real time. This allows advertisers to control where their ads are heard in addition to giving the publishers full control of their user experience. This method takes advantage of "dead space" or loading time, serving audio ads while the user is waiting for audio output, gaining their focused attention.

Men's +100 kg competition in judo at the 2000 Summer Olympics was held on 22 September at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.

This event was the heaviest of the men's judo weight classes, allowing competitors with over 100 kilograms of body mass. Like all other judo events, bouts lasted five minutes. If the bout was still tied at the end, it was extended for another five-minute, sudden-death period; if neither judoka scored during that period, the match is decided by the judges. The tournament bracket consisted of a single-elimination contest culminating in a gold medal match. There was also a repechage to determine the winners of the two bronze medals. Each judoka who had lost to a semifinalist competed in the repechage. The two judokas who lost in the semifinals faced the winner of the opposite half of the bracket's repechage in bronze medal bouts.

Lara Gut-Behrami (; ; born 27 April 1991) is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer who competes in all disciplines and specializes in the speed events of downhill and Super-G. She won the gold medal in the super-G event at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Career

Gut was born in Sorengo, Canton Ticino; her father, Pauli Gut, is Swiss from Airolo, and her mother, Gabriella Almici, a masseuse, was born in Zone, Lombardy. Gut participated in her first FIS races at age 15 in December 2006. At the Alpine Youth World Championship 2007 at Altenmarkt, Austria, she won silver in downhill. In the same year, she became the Swiss national champion in super-G, the second youngest champion of all time. In the 2007 season, Gut finished second in the downhill standings of the Europa Cup.

In late December 2007, Gut made her World Cup debut in a giant slalom at Lienz, Austria. In January 2008, at Caspoggio, she won four consecutive Europa Cup races. At her first World Cup downhill race on 2 February 2008, Gut made the podium in third place at St. Moritz, despite falling on the finishing pitch and sliding on her back through the finish line, she finished only 0.35 seconds behind the winner. She followed her World Cup speed debut with a fifth-place finish in the super-G the next day.  Following the 2008 season, Gut was moved up to the World Cup team for the 2009 season.

Early in her first full season, Gut won her first World Cup race on 20 December 2008, a super-G in St. Moritz, finishing 0.63 seconds ahead of runner-up Fabienne Suter.
Gut became the youngest skier to win a World Cup super-G race at 17.65 years (17 years, 237 days).

At the 2009 World Championships at Val-d'Isère, France, Gut won silver medals in the downhill and the super combined, more than two months before her 18th birthday.

On 29 September 2009, Gut fell during training at Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and dislocated her hip.  She was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Visp, where it was reset. The Swiss Ski Federation initially reported that Gut would be out of competition for at least a month. In January 2010, it was announced that Gut would miss the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver because of a slow recovery from a hip injury.
She sat out the entire 2010 season but returned for the 2011 season and earned four podiums, which included a victory in the super-G at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee in January.

Gut switched ski suppliers following the 2011 season, leaving Atomic for a three-year deal with Rossignol. Though she had seven top-ten finishes in three disciplines during the 2012 World Cup season, she did not reach a podium; her best results were three top-five finishes.

In December 2012, Gut won her first World Cup downhill in Val-d'Isère, France. She finished ahead of American Leanne Smith (0.16 sec) and fellow Swiss skier Nadja Kamer (0.5 sec).

Gut won her first Olympic medal in the downhill in 2014 at Sochi. She took the bronze, finishing 0.10 seconds behind Tina Maze and fellow Swiss skier Dominique Gisin, who both won the gold. In World Cup, she won the super-G season title and finished third overall in 2014.

After four years with Rossignol, Gut changed to Head equipment in May 2015.

At the World Championships in 2017 on home country snow in St. Moritz, Gut won bronze in the super-G. In the next event, the combined, she injured her left knee (ACL, meniscus) between runs, which ended her season.

In February 2020, Gut won her first race in over two years, the World Cup downhill in Crans-Montana, Switzerland.

In the 2020–2021 season, she had one of the most successful showings of her career thus far, winning four consecutive Super-G races on the World Cup while also entering a close battle for the overall lead with Petra Vlhová. She continued her successful season at the World Championships in Cortina D’Ampezzo. In the super-G, she delivered on the promise displayed on the World Cup, winning her first world title and bronze in the downhill. With only a single giant slalom podium on the World Cup that season, she became somewhat of a surprise winner in the giant slalom, with reigning Olympic Champion Mikaela Shiffrin having two strong runs and many of the top performers from the World Cup displaying poor performances; however, Gut-Behrami still prevailed to win the giant slalom by .02 in what was the closest giant slalom in world championship history. She became the second Swiss woman to win two golds in a single championship and the first in 34 years following Erika Hess’ strong showing in 1987.

Personal life
Gut is fluent in Italian, German, French, and English and knows Spanish.

She married Swiss football player Valon Behrami in July 2018, and has since competed using the double-barrelled name Gut-Behrami.

Humberto Hernandez Jr. (born June 14, 1962) was a City of Miami Commissioner and attorney.

Hernandez, the son of a Bay of Pigs Invasion veteran, was a graduate of Belen Jesuit Preparatory School in Miami in 1980.

In 1995, Hernandez ran for the City of Miami Commission. He lost the runoff election by 55 votes and challenged the election.  He lost his challenge the eventual winner was Joe Carollo.

In 1996, a special election was called to fill the position of Mayor of Miami because of the death of Mayor Stephen P. Clark. Joe Carollo resigned his seat to run for mayor and Hernandez decided to run for the Commission again. He lost that election to Tomas Regalado.

In 1997, Commissioner Miller Dawkins resigned his seat and Rev. Richard Dunn was appointed to hold the seat until a new election was called. Hernandez then ran for that position against Rev. Dunn and won that seat and for the first time in 31 years the city of Miami had no “black” commissioner.  One of the things promised by Hernandez if he was elected was to replace “at-large” commission seats with “single member” commission seats. The following year, Florida Governor Lawton Chiles suspended Hernandez from the City of Miami Commission because Hernandez was indicted for money laundering and bank fraud. Thelma Gibson, the wife of Theodore Gibson (the first black elected commissioner for the City of Miami),  was appointed to fill his seat on the commission.

In 1998, Hernandez ran again for a seat on the City of Miami Commission claiming he was innocent of the federal charges.  He won that election with 65.42% of the vote .  Yet a few months later he was again suspended from office by Governor Chiles because he was arrested for election fraud.  In his trial for the election fraud the court acquitted Hernandez of a felony count of fabricating evidence and a misdemeanor count of conspiracy to fabricate evidence. He was convicted of being an accessory after the fact. He was sentenced to 364 days in prison.  He was replaced by Joe Sanchez on the commission. During this time it was revealed that his attorney, Jose Manuel Quinon, was having an affair with his wife of 8 years, Esther M. Ortiz.  He tried to have the courts give him a new trial based on the affair but was unsuccessful.  He and his wife finally divorced in 1999 (in 2003 Ortiz married Quinon).    Hernandez was disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court but is eligible to reapply in 2008.

The Western Massachusetts Regional Library System (WMRLS), was a collaborative that was supported by the state of Massachusetts, that provided leadership and services to foster cooperation, communication, and sharing among member libraries of all types. WMRLS assisted member libraries in promoting access to services.  It ceased operations on June 30, 2010 as part of a statewide merger of regional library services into a single entity (Massachusetts Library System, or MLS).  WMRLS existed in a state of dormancy from 2010-2017.  The WMRLS corporation was dissolved in 2017.

Membership in WMRLS was open to any library within western Massachusetts that met the basic requirements set by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC). There was no charge for membership.

WMRLS was governed by a Council of Members representing the Region's member libraries. The annual operating budget and Plan of Service were approved by the Council of Members and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

There were six regional library systems in Massachusetts. All were administered by the MBLC.  When the other regional entities voted to merge to form the Massachusetts Library System in 2010, WMRLS went into dormancy.

Proposals to cut funding for WMRLS as of July 1, 2010 were reported on in the Greenfield Recorder.

History
Regional library service in Massachusetts began in 1940 when three Regional Library Centers were established.  One in Pittsfield served 37 towns in rural Berkshire County; one in Greenfield served 37 towns in rural Franklin and Hampshire Counties; and one in Fall River served 18 towns in southeastern Massachusetts.  The Centers were administered by the state Division of Library Extension and funded for the first two years with money from the Works Progress Administration (WPA).  The state assumed funding responsibility in 1942.

Between 1940 and 1953 each Center occupied rent-free quarters in its host library, located in Pittsfield, Greenfield, or Fall River.  Operating from each Center was a bookmobile, donated by the Massachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs, Massachusetts Library Aid Association, and Massachusetts Library Association.  Staffing consisted of a professional librarian, driver/clerk, and office assistant.  Bookmobile service was provided to local libraries, school and deposit stations located at homes in outlying areas, post offices, gasoline stations, and general stores.  Each bookmobile was supported with a 12,000-volume book collection.

Problems

Three major weaknesses in the Regional Library Center program were identified soon after its formation:
Service areas were too large to be served by one bookmobile (which took six weeks to visit each location)
The 12,000-volume book collection did not provide sufficient materials for the population of the service area
Consulting services provided by the professional bookmobile librarian to local libraries were very limited because of the number of libraries served.

A study completed in 1944 recognized that library support in small towns would always be limited because of the narrow tax base. To address this, the study recommended that the Centers be strengthened, that other types of coordinated services be provided, and that additional state funding be made available to equalize library services where inequalities existed.  Between 1945 and 1948, the Massachusetts Library Association tried to win legislative support for a plan to improve library services as recommended by the study, but no plan evolved.

Ahmad Bourghani Farahani (; January 2, 1960 – February 2, 2008) was an Iranian reformist politician, journalist, writer and political analyst.

Bourghani was deputy minister of culture of Iran in President Mohammad Khatami's cabinet. He was also head of IRNA in United Nations as well as member of Iranian parliament.

Bourghani received his bachelor's degree in geography from Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran. He entered journalism after the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. During the Iran–Iraq War, he oversaw the War Information Press, and was chief news manager of the IRNA. From 1990 to 1993, he was posted in New York City as the UN correspondent for IRNA. Upon returning, he helped establish the short-lived weeklies Bahar, Barharan and Envoy.

During his brief tenure as vice-minister of Culture, Ahmad Bourghani oversaw the issuance of hundreds of press permits and the flowering of an independent Iranian press for the first time since 1979. He had a significant role in the development of journalism in post-revolution Iran. Following the initial attacks on the reformist press, Iran's conservatives tried to undercut the reformist press by reactivating the Press Court. Bourghani stood up in the Court in front of the young presiding judge, Saeed Mortazavi, and defended the freedom of the press. Mortazavi, the nephew of Ayatollah Yazdi, was trying to force Bourghani and Khatami's government to shut down the Jame'eh newspaper but when Bourghani refused to do so, he himself ordered to shut down the newspaper.

After the closure of Jame'eh and Tous in the summer of 1998, a second crop of independent dailies appeared in late 1998. These papers exposed Intelligence Ministry agents' involvement in the political assassinations of reformist intellectuals and activists in late 1998.

Bourghani, chosen by Khatami, to spearhead the liberalization of the public sphere, resigned in February 1999, frustrated with the intransigence of the Commission for the Supervision of the Press (a joint committee of representatives of the three branches of government and the press that reviews press application and thus determines who can and cannot publish), and dismayed by lukewarm support from his own minister, Ata'ollah Mohajerani, who narrowly survived a parliamentary impeachment motion in May for "cultural laxity".

Two years later, he was elected as representative of Tehran to Majlis of Iran, The Iranian Parliament. As a Member of Iranian Parliament, he persuaded his goal for the freedom of the press in Iran and was one of the key people in debating the Reform of the Press laws. Shortly after, Ayatollah Khamenei sent a letter to the parliament demanding that the debate stop.

Ahmad Bourghani was also the president of the Parliamentary Friendship Group between Italy and Iran. He was also the organizer of "Iran, hundred years after Iranian constitutional revolution", an international conference organized in Tehran (2007).

Bourghani died in a Tehran hospital of a heart attack at the age of 48.

Sister Gregory Kirkus (9 November 1910 – 30 August 2007) was an English Roman Catholic nun, educator, historian and archivist.

Born as Phyllis Kirkus in York, she was a historian of English convent life whose own biographical work has provided research tools for historians of the English recusant period. Sister Gregory presided over a collection of antique books, artefacts and manuscripts at the Bar Convent in York, the oldest convent in England, and a girls' school from 1686 to 1985.

Early years
She gained a place at Newnham College, Cambridge in 1929, eight years after the university voted against conferring its degrees on women.

She was received into the Catholic Church in the chapel of the Canonesses of Saint Augustine next to Newnham, since Fisher House, the Catholic chaplaincy under Monsignor Alfred Gilbey, was also closed to women. Training in librarianship, her application for a post at Southampton University was thwarted by a pilfering office boy who destroyed her letter. She later ascribed this disaster to divine providence, as it led to a job in the University of Hull, where she explored her growing sense of a vocation to religious life. A random meeting with Sister Philip Hardman, a scholar and historian, led her to the Bar Convent and the discovery of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (IBVM), an unenclosed order of women founded by Mary Ward (1585–1645) in 1609. Phyllis' Anglican family was not accepting of either her conversion or her decision to enter religious life, yet she did so anyway. Entering the novitiate, she took the religious name Sister Gregory.

The outbreak of World War II necessitated the temporary evacuation of St. Mary's Convent, Hampstead, where she was teaching, to the East Sussex mansion of Lady Catherine Ashburnham. After a second evacuation, the school found a permanent new home at Coombe House, Shaftesbury, in 1945. As headmistress of St. Mary's School, Shaftesbury, Sister Gregory determined to run an exemplary school for women of the future.

In 1972 she was appointed as Provincial Superior of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, later known as the Congregation of Jesus. This was during the turmoil of the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). Sister Gregory did not welcome the changes proposed by the council, given her conservatism. With the help of educator (and Catholic convert), Margaret Wileman, Sister Gregory administered educational programmes for her own province and two international summer schools where sisters from around the world, responsible for running schools around the world. Her influence as an educator encouraged improvements which enabled the Bar Convent Grammar School, and St Mary's Schools in Hampstead, Ascot, Shaftesbury and Cambridge, to successfully evolve to schools administered by laypersons.

Later years
Around 1981 set up the Bar Convent Museum, archives and library. She wrote numerous sketches of school and convent life in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries for the Catholic Record Society. A lifelong teetotaller who lived in considerable personal austerity, it was only when she appeared on a Channel Four documentary on the Bar Convent that her astonished sisters discovered her to be an avid buyer of lottery tickets, in the hope of winning the fortune that would secure the convent's future.

Death
She died, aged 96, on the feast-day of Saint Margaret Clitherow, like Ward and Kirkus, a Yorkshirewoman, whose relics are kept in the Bar Convent chapel.
