Yemen’s new government was transferred to the palace right after an explosion disrupted their arrival to Aden airport earlier today. It occurred as the officials were arriving to Aden from Riyadh, where cabinet members had a swearing-in ceremony that followed prolonged coalition talks brokered by the Saudis. The destructive explosion at the airport resulted in more than 20 people being killed, and at least 60 injured, according to Salem Al-Shabhi, a senior health official who spoke to the Independent.

AND HOW – rdb] 'Terrorist attack’ on bus in Syria between Deir ez-Zor and Palmyra kills at least 25 – state media 30 Dec, 2020 17:50 / Updated 2 hours ago A passenger bus on the road between Deir ez-Zor and Palmyra came under attack by terrorists, resulting in the death of at least 25 people on board, reported the Syrian state news agency SANA. Another 13 people were injured. The attack took place on Wednesday afternoon local time, near the town of Kobajjep (Kabajeb), about 50 kilometers along the M20 road from Deir ez-Zor. Though the terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) officially holds no more territory, there have been reports of their presence in the desert between the Euphrates river and Palmyra, an ancient city that changed hands several times during the Syrian conflict. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Earlier in the day, one person was killed and three more injured in a rocket attack on Nabi Habil, some 30 miles (50km) outside of Damascus, which the Syrian government blamed on Israel. https://www.rt.com/news/511157-syria-terror- attack-bus/ Gabi Ashkenazi quits Blue and White, as party further disintegrates Gantz’s deputy says he’s ‘taking time off’ from politics, hails party’s achievements in reining in ‘adventurism’; plans to stay on as foreign minister as long as needed By TOI staff Today, 4:28 pm Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi announced on Wednesday that he was taking a break from politics and leaving Blue and White, in the latest high-profile defection from Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s ailing party. Ashkenazi, the No. 2 in Blue and White, told Gantz this week that he won’t run on the party’s slate in the March 23 elections, according to a statement. “I do not intend to run in the next election in Blue and White and I’m taking time off and considering how to proceed,” Ashkenazi said. He hailed Blue and White for “presenting a governing alternative” to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and “changing the discourse” on annexing West Bank lands, which, he asserted, “opened up the window of opportunity for the peace deals [with Arab nations].” He also said the party had “prevented any attempt at diplomatic and judicial adventurism” since joining the government. Ashkenazi said he will remain in his post as foreign minister for as long as Gantz wants him there. “I thank my friend and partner Benny Gantz and I wished him success in leading the party in the upcoming elections,” Ashkenazi said. Ashkenazi, who preceded Gantz as IDF chief of staff, entered politics ahead of the April 2019 elections, joining the nascent Blue and White alliance of centrist parties. He stuck with Gantz after the Blue and White leader decided to form a coalition with Netanyahu following the previous elections this March, leading to the breakup of the party’s alliance with Yesh Atid- Telem, and became foreign minister in May when the government was sworn in. His decision to leave the party came a day after Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn bolted Blue and White for Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai’s new party. Nissenkorn, who was the No. 3 in Blue and White, announced his resignation as justice minister earlier Wednesday. Blue and White has seen an exodus of lawmakers since the Knesset dissolved last week over the failure to pass a new budget, as the party flails in the polls and Gantz faces questions over his leadership. Along with Ashkenazi and Nissenkorn, MK Michal Cotler-Wunsh said Tuesday she would not run as a candidate for Blue and White in the elections. On Sunday, Gantz informed MKs Asaf Zamir and Miki Haimovich that they will not be included on the party’s electoral slate due to their decision to vote against extending the state budget deadline last week, ultimately causing the fall of the government. Science and Technology Minister Izhar Shay has also decided to leave, according to Channel 12 news. In a defiant speech Tuesday, Gantz vowed to lead the ailing Blue and White in the elections in March, claiming the party had “saved the country” and set the course for the end of Netanyahu’s rule. “You’re welcome to leave, the door is open,” Gantz said to would-be future deserters. But “here a strong and cohesive group will remain and work hard, only for the country.” MORE - https://www.timesofisrael.com/gabi-ashkenazi-quits-blue-and-white-as-party-further-disintegrates/ Ram Shefa becomes sixth MK to leave sinking Blue and White Lawmaker tells his party colleagues he was unable to bridge ‘deep gaps’ in outlook, says setting out on a new path By TOI staff Today, 2:01 pm Blue and White party member Ram Shefa at the Knesset in Jerusalem, on May 14, 2019 (Hadas Parush/Flash90) MK Ram Shefa on Thursday announced he was leaving Blue and White to forge a new path, becoming the sixth lawmaker to exit the crumbling party in the runup to March elections.

  • Architect Joseph Klarwein Was the Winner of the 1957 Contest for Planning the Knesset Building on Givat Ram
    Handout 1 Knesset Architect Joseph Klarwein was the winner of the 1957 contest for planning the Knesset building on Givat Ram. His initial proposal presented at the contest was ultimately very different than the building that was inaugurated on August 30th 1966. In fact, it was influenced by different architects that were involved in different parts of the planning and construction throughout its nine years, and among them were architect Dov Carmi and his son Ram. In textbooks written on the Knesset building, it is claimed that the planners intended to build a construction similar to the Greek Acropolis. Those who worked on the building programs before the contest had very little idea on how they wanted the building to look, and the result – an architectural mixture – surprisingly resembled the building of the United States’ embassy in Athens. The embassy was designed by the renowned Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius, which was later considered as a specimen of the “International Style.” Klarwein’s original model was comprised of a rectangular construction with 20 columns on its front and back, 15 columns on each side, and two internal yards on the eastern and western sides of the plenum hall found at the center of the building. The entrance to the building was to be on its northern front. The constructed building was square, with 10 columns on all sides, and with no internal yards; the plenum is not at its center, but on its eastern part; and west to the plenum hall there is a reception hall. This hall is named “Chagall State Hall,” as it is decorated with art created by the Russian-born Jewish artist, Marc Chagall.

  • Education, Design and Practice ​– Understanding Skills in a Complex
    Education, Design and Practice – Understanding ​ skills in a Complex World • Paper / Proposal Title: How to Escape an Illustrated Palace? Escape Room as a Teaching Tool at the Herzog Collage for Teachers • Author(s) Name: Tzachi Cohen • University or Company Affiliation: Herzog Academic Collage for Teachers and Ono Academic Collage • Abstract (300 words): The world of Teaching and Education has been preoccupied for the last several years with the task of reshaping it's methods of action. In the face of rapidly developing world of media and the shrinking to micro-bytes of the spans of attention, Education finally departed from the age-long model of a talking teacher standing in front of a listening class. Different, and better, alternatives were articulated and suggested. The activity suggested and described here is a shrewd and original answer to the question how to teach without teaching, how can a group of students enjoy acting as a group and expressing their strengths as individuals, face challenge and still obtain new "knowledge", accumulate "learning material"- i.e. be exposed to new facts. The writer has thought up and preformed an escape room concerning the life and works of Nobel Prize winning Hebrew author S.Y. Agnon. This activity, this game, an educational charade was built on pillers of academic knowledge, but this knowledge was well concealed in the game. The players-students experience the activity as a game but are knowinglessly lured into a world of contance. The solution here by suggested innovations from the Study of Learning. Memory and learning are a world of ties, thick or thin.

A positive result of BRCA1/2 is a substantial risk factor for breast and ovarian cancer, and its detection often leads to risk reduction interventions such as increased screening, prophylactic mastectomy and oophorectomy.

RE-MEDIATING THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: THE USE OF FILMS TO FACILITATE DIALOGUE by ELANA SHEFRIN Under the Direction of M. Lane Bruner ABSTRACT With the objective of outlining a decision-making process for the selection, evaluation, and application of films for invigorating Palestinian-Israeli dialogue encounters, this project researches, collates, and weaves together the historico-political narratives of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the artistic worldviews of the Israeli and Palestinian national cinemas, and the procedural designs of successful Track II dialogue interventions. Using a tailored version of Lucien Goldman’s method of homologic textual analysis, three Palestinian and three Israeli popular film texts are analyzed along the dimensions of Historico-Political Contextuality, Socio- Cultural Intertextuality, and Ethno-National Textuality. Then, applying the six “best practices” criteria gleaned from thriving dialogue programs, coupled with the six “cautionary tales” criteria gleaned from flawed dialogue models, three bi-national peacebuilding film texts are homologically analyzed and contrasted with the six popular film texts.

New US Bill Would Create Federal China-Watching Service for Translating Publications Into English by Morgan Artvukhina 11228 Subscribe Years of demonization of China by the US government and media have had a considerable effect on US public opinion, with a March Gallup poll showing 67% of Americans have a negative opinion of China and 46% see China as the US’ main foe - double what it was a year prior. A group of Republican and Democratic congress members have introduced a bill calling for the creation of a special media-monitoring service that would specialize in translating Chinese broadcasts and articles into English for the US government to analyze. The bill, introduced on Wednesday by Reps. Joaquin Castro (D-CA), Bill Keating (D-MA), Mike Gallagher (R-WI) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), would create an Open Translation and Analysis Center (OTAC) with a federal budget of $80 million beginning in 2022. A congressional aide told Reuters their goal was essentially to “recreate FBIS for at least” China, referring to the Foreign Broadcast Information Service created during World War II to intercept, translate, and publish broadcasts by the Axis powers. The documents were regularly distributed to war agencies. The FBIS continued until 2005, when it became the Open Source Enterprise, now part of the CIA’s Directorate of Digital Innovation, which “makes sure teams have the tools and techniques they need to operate in a modern, connected world and still be clandestine,” according to the agency’s website.
