Migration of Eretz Yisrael Arabs Between December 1, 1947 and June 1, 1948

National phases of evacuation and migration 4. Causes of Arab migration 5. Arab migration trajectories and absorption issues Annexes 1. Regional reviews analyzing migration issues in each area [Missing from document] 2. Charts of villages evacuated by area, noting the causes for migration and migration trajectories for every village General introduction The purpose of this overview is to attempt to evaluate the intensity of the migration and its various development phases, elucidate the different factors that impacted population movement directly and assess the main migration trajectories. Of course, given the nature of statistical figures in Eretz Yisrael in general, which are, in themselves, deficient, it would be difficult to determine with certainty absolute numbers regarding the migration movement, but it appears that the figures provided herein, even if not certain, are close to the truth. Hence, a margin of error of ten to fifteen percent needs to be taken into account. The figures on the population in the area that lies outside the State of Israel are less accurate, and the margin of error is greater. This review summarizes the situation up until June 1st, 1948 (only in one case – the evacuation of Jenin, does it include a later occurrence).

1 Introduction Paper Title the Marcan Concept of Discipleship: An
Introduction Paper title The Marcan concept of discipleship: An exegesis of Mark 8.27-10.52. Focal theory The concept of discipleship which involves ‘taking up one’s cross’ within the daily Christian experience remains a challenging and often distant concept for modern Christians within affluent communities. Purpose of the paper The purpose of the paper is to explore the Marcan concept of discipleship through an exegesis of Mark 8.27-10.52. The paper’s hypothesis is that whilst recognizing that Mark provides a complex soteriology’,1 and a multi-faceted Christology, the evn th/| o`dw/| motif contained within the focus passage, understood in the light of the Son of Man’s earthly and eschatological roles, incorporates key Marcan theology that directly addresses the understanding of discipleship within the modern context. 1 The complex soteriology within Mark has attracted much debate, particularly focusing on the so-called ‘ransom saying’ of 10.45, a debate that can be traced back to the subjective and objective view of the atonement as classically understood by Abelhard (subjective) and Anselm (objective). Stott provides an excellent overview of the history of the debate between the objective and the subjective views of the atonement (see John R.W. Stott, The Cross of Christ (Leicester, UK: Inter-Varsity Press, 1986), pp. 17-351). Within modern scholarship, some such as Allison opting for a more ‘Jewish’ understanding of Jesus’ death (partly as a result of the understandings gained in the so-called ‘Third Quest’ for the historical Jesus), and others such as Hengel opting for an approach based on an understanding of the early kerygmatic preaching of the apostles. -

Our results, from two independent cohorts of Finnish prisoners, revealed that a monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) low-activity genotype (contributing to low dopamine turnover rate) as well as the CDH13 gene (coding for neuronal membrane adhesion protein) are associated with extremely violent behavior (at least 10 committed homicides, attempted homicides or batteries). No substantial signal was observed for either MAOA or CDH13 among non-violent offenders, indicating that findings were specific for violent offending, and not largely attributable to substance abuse or antisocial personality disorder. These results indicate both low monoamine metabolism and neuronal membrane dysfunction as plausible factors in the etiology of extreme criminal violent behavior, and imply that at least about 5–10% of all severe violent crime in Finland is attributable to the aforementioned MAOA and CDH13 genotypes.

The Four-Fold Gospel
The Four-Fold Gospel Author(s): McGarvey, J. W. Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This mixture of gospel harmony (a comparison of identical stories from each of the gospels, placed in chronological or- der) and commentary (a verse-by-verse analysis of a pas- sage) by John William McGarvey is a highly technical but incomparably useful guide to the biblical Gospels. McGarvey, a serious student of the Bible and author of many other commentaries, is at his best here in the unique blend. Users should be sure to read the introductory sections in order to understand the abbreviations, symbols, and set-up of the volume to avoid confusion and to get optimal use from the source. This reference is a wonderful expansion of Gospel commentaries, and is one of the only books of its kind.

Personhood in Germany: a Contribution to the Feminist Theory of the State
ABORTION AND WOMEN'S LEGAL PERSONHOOD IN GERMANY: A CONTRIBUTION TO THE FEMINIST THEORY OF THE STATE D.A. JEREM'Y TELMAN* The unified Federal Republic of Germany has one of the world's most complex and confusing laws governing abortion.' Abortion law in the pre- unification Federal Republic ("West Germany") was already quite compli- cated. The unification process gave rise to further complexities as German lawmakers attempted to reconcile the relatively permissive abortion regu- lations of the German Democratic Republic ("East Germany") with West Germany's more restrictive laws. Beginning in 1972, East Germany granted women unrestricted access to abortion in the first trimester, an ap- proach known as the "periodic model."2 In contrast, since 1976, \West Ger- many had allowed abortion only after the pregnant woman, having undergone mandatory counseling, had procured from a medical profes- sional a certificate indicating that there were legitimate grounds for ending the pregnancy, an approach known as the "indications model."3 Under current law, both abortion and attempted abortion are gener- ally prohibited.4 A woman can procure a legal abortion, however, in cer- tain circumstances. First, the woman seeking an abortion must undergo mandatory counseling. The counseling must take place at a recognized * B.A., 1985, Columbia University; Ph.D., 1993, Cornell University;, J.D., 1999, New York University School of Law (expected).

RÍKISLÖGREGLUSTJÓRINN ALMANNAVARNADEILD Applies to: Media, Department of Civil Protection and Emergency, Management, administration and Chief Epidemiologist STATUS REPORT Date: 06.03.2020 Time: 17:30 Location: Coordination center /Directorate of Health /Chief Epidemiologist Emergency/Distress Phase: COVID-19 Event description Today 6 individuals have been diagnosed with COVID-19. The pathway of infection is being traced. 43 cases have been confirmed in Iceland of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. All are in isolation. The first cases of community transmission within Iceland were diagnosed today. All are in relatively good health. They were infected after being exposed to persons coming from Italy and Austria. As a result, The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Chief Epidemiologist has raised the alert level of the response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. This emergency activation has no significant impact on the public beyond those measures that have been taken already. However, it allows for response agencies and critical service providers to increase their preparedness activities (aprox. 150-200 institutions). For the time being, no travel restrictions are in force. There is no ban on mass gatherings. Such a ban would have a great impact on society and is therefore not activated as a result. The Chief Epidemiologist and his staff are paying special attention to vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. This group should take special care and avoid crowed places and events. Health care institutions and the organization of welfare companies are increasing their defenses and readiness. deCode genetics (Íslensk erfðagreining) has offered to do screenings for the COVID-19 in Icelandic society to check its pathways. -

The island is volcanic and is 103,000 square kilometres. Most built-up areas are scattered around the coastline which is 4,970 km long. On 31 December 2004 the number of inhabitants was 293.577. The population is not evenly distributed and about 180,000 persons reside in Reykjavík, the capital, and the neighbouring communities. An evening view from the Barðaströnd coast in Western Iceland. Icelanders are of Scandinavian, Irish and Scottish origin. The first people known to have visited Iceland were Irish monks or hermits, but they left with the arrival of the pagan Norsemen who settled in Iceland in the period 870-930 AD. The Icelandic language dates back to Ancient Norse. Executive power lies with the President of the Republic and the Government.
