wine first rose to prominence as bureau leader Hchief under Hamas’s spiritual father Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the quadriplegic assassinated by Israel in 2004. He escaped assassination in September 2003 when an Israeli aircraft bombed a house where he and Yassin were meeting, yet Haniya was instrumental in securing a halt to Hamas attacks inside Israel since early 2005. The following year, he led Hamas to a shock legislative election victory over Abbas’s Fatah and became prime minister. The international community however refused to deal with any government in which Hamas participated until it renounced violence and recognised Israel and past peace agreements. The resulting deadlock led to mounting friction between Hamas and Fatah which culminated in Hamas’s seizure of Gaza. In July 2006, Israel bombed Haniya’s office during a massive but unsuccessful operation to free a soldier held by gunmen including Hamas militants. Always dressed impeccably in Western- style suits and a sharp orator, Haniya has exemplified Hamas’s internal struggle between the traditional and the modern, between resistance against Israeli occupation and mainstream politics. An eloquent advocate of the right to resistance, his strongly held beliefs that a future Palestinian state should be governed by laws “inspired by sharia” Islamic law have provoked concern in the West.

If so, you might experience YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION aching feet and legs today. Wear comfortable shoes and stay off your feet as much as you can in order to allow the pains to heal.

(May 22nd - Jun 21st) You might have trouble with your plumbing today, particularly if you have a big kitchen. This is too complex a problem to handle yourself. Pay the money to have a professional take care of the problem. It will save you work and frustration. In the meantime, have a pizza delivered while you’re waiting to get your kitchen back! (June 22nd - July 23rd) Are you having problems with your phone? Is traffic out of control? Perhaps it might be best to stay home today and put conversations with your friends on hold for a while.

(Sep 24th - Oct 23rd) Uncomfortable intuitive impressions from R someone close might be troubling. Is your BEETLE BAILEY friend ill or bothered by events out of his or her control? Your friend probably won’t want to talk much about it, so you will just have to let them tell you what’s going on when the time is right. This could be frustrating for you, but be patient. That’s all you can do now. A goal you’ve been pursuing may be unworkable (Oct 24th - Nov 22nd) now. You may have to put it on hold for a while. This could be disappointing, but think about it carefully. What other dreams do you have? Figure out which ones are most important to you and then decide which are most promising right now. Sometimes little setbacks like this prove to be blessings in disguise. Confusion may reign today as you try to glean some information that seems to be totally (Nov 23rd - Dec 21st) elusive.

This might be emotionally wrenching, and you could have a difficult conversation with this person. It isn’t always easy to let go of someone you care about, but this could be a valuable lesson in detachment. It will probably take you a while get used to the idea, though you still won’t like it. Money matters might seem disastrous today. You may have had a temporary setback, but (Jan 21st - Feb 19th) you’re probably being especially pessimistic and not seeing the whole picture. Sit down and try to juggle a few figures. You will probably find that you’re better off than it seemed at first. Whatever expenses come up, you will be able to handle them. Focus on what needs to be done and do it! A temporary separation from a romantic partner might have you despairing today. Your (Feb 20th - Mar 20th) imagination may conjure up all sorts of dreadful scenarios, like your beloved finding someone How to play: else. Don’t do this to yourself.

For the entire attempt, Kipchoge ran behind a six-man pacesetting team which trailed a time-keeping vehicle by less than 10 metres. Despite narrowly missing the mark, Kipchoge said he believed it was possible and that he could make another attempt. Speaking trackside to Britain’s Paula Radcliffe, a former three-time winner of the London marathon, Kipchoge said: “I hope next time... but I can say it’s closer (possible) for a human to run under the two-hour mark.” Backed by a small army of scientists put together by sportswear giants Nike, and helped by an ever-changing battalion of pacesetters, Kipchoge set out to complete the classic marathon distance of 26.2 miles (42.195 kilometres) in 1hr 59min 59 sec or faster. In his pursuit of sporting immortality Kipchoge had to set a ferocious pace of 4min 34sec per mile -- seven seconds quicker than the world record pace set by Kimetto at the 2014 Berlin Marathon. Requiring the sort of evolutionary leap against the clock that is usually only achieved over decades, Kipchoge started in promising fashion. Despite being one second over the target time after five kilometres, he was clocked at five seconds under after 10 then 15 km and was still two seconds inside the target at the 25 km mark. But over the remaining third of the race, which began at 0545 local time (0345 GMT) in slightly humid conditions, Kipchoge steadily began to fall behind pace. He was clocked at over six seconds over the required pace at the 35 km mark and, over the remaining distance, Kenya’s Elijah Motonei Manangoi began to steadily trail his pacesetters before finishing just wins the men’s 1500 metres 25 seconds over the target.
