Israeli strikes kill 10 • Apartment block, mosques destroyed

GAZA CITY: Israel pounded Gaza yesterday with scores of air strikes, killing 10 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and bringing down a 12-storey apartment building as Egypt called for new truce talks. Since a previous round of frantic Egyptian diplomacy collapsed last Tuesday, shattering nine days of calm, 86 Palestinians and a four-year-old Israeli boy have been killed in the violence. Israel on Saturday sent text messages, voice mails and leaflets warning Palestinians that “every house from which militant activity is carried out, will be targeted”and to stay away from “terrorists”.
Israel has vowed no let-up until it can guarantee the safety of its civilians, while Hamas insists that Israel must end its eight-year blockade of the territory as part of any truce. At least 2,103 Palestinians and 68 people on the Israeli side, all but four of them soldiers, have been killed since July 8. The UN says 70 percent of the Palestinians who have died were civilians.
Israel said it had carried out 55 air strikes over Gaza yesterday and that around 64 rockets and mortar rounds from Gaza hit Israel, with another 14 intercepted, including one over Tel Aviv. The deadliest Israeli air strike levelled a home in Al-Zawayda in central Gaza, killing a couple, their sons aged three and four, and a 45-year-old aunt, medics said. Distraught mourners gathered at the cemetery, clawing at the dry soil and using their bare hands to fill the graves after laying marble slabs over the bodies in the burning morning sun. Neighbours said the family house had been bombed earlier in the conflict and that the family had returned to camp out in the ruins, when it was hit overnight by an F16.

Kuwait to boost China oil exports to 800,000 bpd

DUBAI: Kuwait plans to increase the volume of crude oil exports to China to 500,000 barrels a day (bpd) in three years, and eventually to 800,000 bpd, an executive at the state-run Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) said yesterday. On Friday, Kuwait concluded a new 10-year deal with a China’s Sinopec Corp to nearly double its supplies by offering to ship the oil and sell it on a more competitive cost-andfreight basis.
“With new and mutual cooperation between the two parties, there is a good sign of increasing the volume of our crude oil exports to China up to
500,000 bpd in the next

three years,” Nasser Al-
Mudhaf, KPC’s Managing Director of International Marketing told Kuwait’s News Agency (KUNA). Under the deal signed last week, KPC will initially export 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, which would amount to 15 percent of Kuwaiti petroleum exports and estimated to be worth $120 billion.

Tennessee revives cursive teaching

NASHVILLE: Children in Tennessee will have to get used to holding a pencil again next year when new cursive handwriting standards go into effect in schools throughout the state. The trend around the United States is to emphasize keyboarding - a skill that is included in the Common Core education standards adopted by most states. But Tennessee lawmakers, concerned that some children do not have a signature and struggle to read their teachers’ handwriting, overwhelmingly passed a bill making cursive a mandatory subject in grades two through four.

Schools are expected to start bringing back the declining art of cursive in 2015-2016 under the new rules, signed into law this year by Governor Bill Haslam. Keyboarding and print writing will still have their place, but legible penmanship will be required by third grade. “I am surprised we have stopped teaching it in some places,” said Gary Nixon, executive director of the Tennessee School Board. “It’s an art that is losing its form because of the keyboard.”
For millennials, cursive is quaint and not much more. “It’s kind of like hopping on a Pogo stick. If you can do it, great, but if not, it doesn’t matter,” said Cory Woodroof, 21, a student at Lipscomb University in Nashville who felt grade school handwriting classes were wasted time. Also at Lipscomb, 20-year-old Janice Ng of Singapore said she took immersion studies in English back home but “they didn’t mention cursive. It’s not used.”
The benefits of cursive teaching standards are questionable, according to one national literacy expert. “I don’t think it’s bad, but I don’t think there’s much of a point to it,” said Sandra Wilde, chair of the National Council of Teacher of English Elementary Section Steering Committee. Dedicating teaching time to cursive could take time away from touchtyping, a more important skill these days, she said.

Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

Chiedetelo a Gigi Buffon, che ha sposato la Nazionale 13 anni fa e che il 10 settembre nella sua Torino (nella foto n°5 viene premiato dal presidente della Figc Abete) ha eggguagliato il record di 136 presenze in maglia azzurra di Fabio Cannavaro. Una storia d’amore iniziata nelle selezioni giovanili e sbocciata definitivamente in una fredda serata di ottobre in Russia, quando a soli 19 anni Gigi si alzò dalla panchina per sostituire Gianluca Pagliuca (foto n°1). Era l’andata dello spareggio di qualificazione al Mondiale del ’98 e la porta della Nazionale si sentì subito protetta da quel ragazzone dalla faccia pulita e dai riflessi formidabili. Il primo gol in Azzurro Buffon lo incassò quella sera su autorete di quel Cannavaro che, tredici anni più tardi, avrebbe visto eguagliare il suo record dall’amico e compagno di tante battaglie (Foto n°4).

Welches Team im kommenden Jahr bei der WM zu Gast bei Freunden sein will, aber nicht weiß, ob die eigenen Spieler Freunde oder Feinde sind?
