NOTE ON THE SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION (APRIL-DECEMBER, 1927) ORDINANCE, 1928. The Supplementary Appropriation Ordinance gives legislative sanction for expenditure not covered by the Appropriation Ordinance for the| period. i The expenditure (or the period amounted to £P. 1,944,397 or £P. 20,464 over the estimate. The Schedule to the Supple• mentary Appropriation Ordinance shews the excess expenditure under each head aggregating to £P. 166,265 : and these excesses are mainly accounted for by the transfer of unproductive ex• penditure defrayecjl in previous years from loan funds. On the other hand, savings under other heads amounted to £P. 145,795. The revenue for the period amounted to £P. 1,739,380 or £P. 33,062 under !the estimate. The main decreases occur under Railways (£P. 50,210) and Posts and Telegraphs (£P. 7,129). On the other hand, receipts from Customs shew an increase of £P. 26,243. The decreases under Railways and Posts and Telegraphs were partly balanced by savings on the expenditure of these services, !and would have been more than balanced but for the extraordinary charge to Railway funds of approx• imately £P. 31,989 in respect of the writing down of the book value of Railway stores. The grant-in-aid is based on a percentage of the actual ordinary and extraordinary expenditure of the Transjordan Frontier Force, and as the expenditure for the period was below the estimate, the grant-in-aid was proportionately lower. SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION (APRIL-DECEMBER, ¡1927) ORDINANCE 1928. An Ordinandi to legalize certain payments made in the nine months ended 31st December, 1927, in excess of the expenditure authorised by the Appropriation (April-December 1927) Ordinance No. 44 of 1927.

  • Two Haaretz Reports on Settler Violence These Reports Are
    Two Haaretz Reports on Settler Violence These reports are included to provide background on settler behavior that is not often seen in the US media. Fighting the W. Bank harvest of hatred Haaretz, Published date November 15, 2002 In the olive groves: Zionist immigrants protect Palestinians from Zionist settlers A large number of American Zionist immigrants, some of whom are religious, joined two separate olive pickings in West Bank Palestinian orchards last weekend. These harvests were organized by Israeli Jews to help protect the Palestinian farmers and their harvest from other Israeli Jews. The results of the two harvests were remarkably different although only a night divided them. This was possibly because Chief of Staff Moshe Ya'alon, was just forming his soon-to-be heavily publicized campaign to end the `olive war' by offering the Palestinians rare IDF protection. Olives grow mainly in the upper half of the country and provide the main livelihood for many Palestinian families. An average family owns between 50-170 trees, each tree has 20-70 kilos of olives and 1 kilo usually sells for about 5 shekels inside the occupied territories. The official harvesting period is from October 15th until November 15th this year. Many farmers had hoped to finish early before the start of Ramadan on November 6th, when the pickers would be fasting daily from sunrise to sunset. What no one expected was Jewish settlers beating them to it, stealing olives from the trees even before the harvest period opened, and in some cases, attacking the farmers. One 24 year-old villager from Aqraba, Hani Beni Manieh, was killed and three others were wounded in one such attack on the 6th of October.

    Fall 2007 Middle East StudiesBulletin A Biannual Publication of the Middle East Studies Center Sumela Monastery, 4th century A.D., Macka, Trabazon Province, Turkey Photo by Alam Payind Letter from the Director Dear Middle East Studies community in Ohio and beyond, here are numerous ways the Middle East Studies Center (MESC) promotes and supports Middle East studies, which spans beyond The Ohio State University Tcampuses and the Midwest region and facilitates connections abroad with universities in Middle Eastern countries such as Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan. According to the current Academic Plan, internationalization is fundamental, both to Ohio State’s immediate academic strategy Middle East Studies Center and our long-term goal to place Ohio State “among the world’s truly great universities.” 322 Oxley Hall According to the plan, “Ohio State must become more diverse so we can prepare our 1712 Neil Ave. students for success in this more diverse nation and must enhance and coordinate our Columbus, OH 43210 international studies and programs to prepare students for a more global economy.” In (614) 292-5897 • [email protected] accordance with this priority of internationalization, former Ohio State president Karen Holbrook established a task force on the matter earlier this year. As a member of that task force, I can say there will be more emphasis on internationalization at Ohio State on a number of levels, one of which will be the focus on ties with foreign universities. Our active agreements with Middle Eastern universities include: Assiut University and the What’s Arab Academy of Science and Technology in Egypt; University of Damascus in Syria; and Kadir Has, Bilkent, and Harran Universities in Turkey.

  • BWD No.7 September 2009
    BWD No.7 September 2009 Official Bulletin of Institute of Environmental and Water Studies (IEWS) Birzeit University Palestine 1 2 On April 2009, the World Bank published a report entitled: “West Bank and Gaza Assessment of Restrictions on water Sector Development”. The Institute of Environmental and Water Studies (IEWS) welcomes this study by the World Bank that highlights some major problems faced daily by Palestinians living under Israel’s 42 year military rule. The study highlights the following points: 1. Water withdrawals per head of the Palestinian population have been declining, and there are real water shortages. 2. There has been little progress on wastewater collection and treatment, with negative environmental results. 3. Network coverage rates at Gaza are high and supply and availability had improved but border closures and conflict have now led to severe deterioration of water supply reliability. 4. Sanitation services in Gaza are in crisis. Gaza's wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure is inadequate. 5. The Palestinian Water Authority is unable to conduct integrated management of the resources in the West Bank within the current governance framework. 6. Joint Water Council (JWC) has not fulfilled its role of providing an effective collaborative governance framework for joint resource management and investment. JWC does not function as a “joint” water resource governance institution because of fundamental asymmetries- of power, of capacity, of information, of interests- that prevent the development of a consensual approach to resolving water management conflicts. Israel has further exacerbated the decades-long water crisis faced by Palestinians through its role as an occupying force on domination and controlling rather than facilitating and sharing the responsibility over the shared management of the transboundary water resources in accordance with international water law.

  • 2011 ICSD-IV Gazaa Joint Desalination and Power Plants
    A Joint Desalination and Power Plants for Water and Development A Case study for Sinai-Gaza Raed Bashitialshaaer*1, Kenneth M Persson*2, Ronny Berndtsson*1 *Department of Water Res. Eng., Lund University-LTH, Box 118; SE-221 00 LUND-Sweden 1Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Tel.: +4646222-4367, Fax: 4435, [email protected] 2SYDVATTEN AB, Skeppsgatan 19, 211 19 MALMÖ-Sweden; [email protected] Abstract Desalination can be a cost-effective way to produce fresh water and possibly electricity. The Gaza Strip has had a complex hydro-political situation for many years. Gaza (enclosed area) is bordered by the Mediterranean in the west, by Israel in the north and east and by Egypt in the south. Water and electricity consumption in the Gaza Strip is expected to increase in the future due to the increasing population. In this paper, a solution for Sinai and the Gaza Strip is suggested involving the building of a joint power and desalination plant, located in Egypt close to the border of Gaza. Results of capital and unit costs have been derived from bench-mark studies of 18 different desalination projects mainly in the Middle East countries. The suggested joint Egypt-Palestine project would increases drinking water supply by 500,000 m3/d and the power supply by 500MW, whereof 2/3 is suggested to be used in Gaza and 1/3 in Sinai. The present lack of electricity and water in Gaza could be erased by such a project. But Egypt will probably gain more. More water and electricity will be available for the future development of Sinai; a significant value will be added to the sale of Egyptian natural gas used for water and power production in the project; more employment opportunities can be offered for people living in Sinai and Gaza; the domestic market for operation and maintenance of desalination plants can be boosted by the suggested project.
