This diversity 27 in genetic patterns may reflect diversity in the meaning of “peripheral populations” as defined by 28 geography, gene flow patterns, historical effects, and ecological conditions. Populations at the 29 lower latitude periphery of a species’ range are of particular concern because they may be at 30 increased risk for extinction due to global climate change.

  • Appendix 1(V) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS in ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS
    Appendix 1(v) SEIZED DOCUMENTS: TARGETING POPULATION CENTERS IN ISRAEL USING UPGRADED 122 MM GRAD ROCKET POSITIONS 1. On August 11, 2006, during the second Lebanon war, three files were found in the village of Aita al-Shaab in the central sector of south Lebanon. They contained range cards for three 120 mm mortar and 122 mm upgraded Grad rocket fired from positions in the region of Shihin. The range cards were dated December 2005 and were for 122 mm upgraded Grad rockets (with a range of 20 km – 12.5 miles). The range cards belonged to the artillery department of the Nasr Unit, the unit responsible for the area south of the Litani River, and operating under the command of the Jihad Council.1 2. It should be noted that most of the rockets fired at Israel during the war were various types of 122 mm rockets (HE-frag rockets, cluster bombs, and upgraded rockets with extended range). The following data are for an upgraded Grad rocket: 1 The Jihad Council is a department within the Hezbollah headquarters, responsible for building up the organization’s military power and preparing it for emergencies. Hajj Imad Mughniyah, Hassan Nasrallah’s military deputy, heads it. He is wanted by the United States for the many terrorist attacks he has carried out against American targets. In addition, Argentina has issued an international warrant for his arrest because of his involvement in the 1994 bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires. 2 Upgraded 122 mm Grad rocket Diameter: 122 mm. Range: 20 km (12.5 miles)* Warhead weight: 66 kg (145 lbs) Manufacturer: China, Iran, Russia, Bulgaria * There are also upgraded Grad rockets with ranges of 30-40 kilometers (18- 25 miles), however, the seized range cards referred to rockets with a range of 20 kilometers Firing Position No.

    Rhetorics of Belonging Postcolonialism across the Disciplines 14 Bernard, Rhetorics of Belonging.indd 1 09/09/2013 11:17:03 Postcolonialism across the Disciplines Series Editors Graham Huggan, University of Leeds Andrew Thompson, University of Exeter Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline – English literary/ cultural studies – and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.

  • 1 the Ujia Israel Volunteer Programme E V a L U a T I O N
    THE UJIA ISRAEL VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME E V A L U A T I O N May 2008 This is an internal document The following paper relates to both Gap Year and Short Programme volunteering. It summarises and reviews current UJIA provision, records elements of success and tries to understand the challenges and issues that are a current feature of some elements of the programme. Finally, a set of recommendations is detailed, which should act as a lever for change. Summary of the Facts and Structure of Gap Year Volunteer Programmes All UK Jewish Youth Movements receive core funding from UJIA as well as bursary funding for individuals. All UK Movements spend from approximately one third to two thirds of the gap year participating in volunteering projects. Within the past five years, the number of Youth Movements who participate in UJIA volunteering projects in Israel has fallen from eight to four. Apart from the Intifada years, when numbers dropped, the numbers of Israel gap year participants has risen only slightly in the last ten years. There are growing numbers of volunteering opportunities elsewhere in the world for gap year students. The UJIA is in an open market place. The needs of the individual, the Movement and the UJIA projects in Israel are not always the same as each other. Typically, volunteering on UJIA projects takes place in schools, teaching English. No specific teacher- training is given to either volunteers or teachers. Success is greatest where there is an on-going relationship with a project or region, starting in the years before the gap year experience.
