Along the way many people have assisted me In my quest. My first thanks go to my college roommate and best friend, Vlckl Helsmcin. Her positive outlook on life pulled me out of some dark places. I wish to thank Seymour Gltln of the W.F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research In Jerusalem who first turned my attention toward ancient economics. Thanks also go to the United States Information Agency whose funding allowed me to spend extended time in Israel as a Research Fellow. I must thank the members of my doctoral committee, William G. Dever, Beth Alpert Nakhal, A1 Leonard, Jr. and J. Edward Wright for putting up with numerous extensions and seeing this project to Its completion. Additional thanks go to my dissertation advisor, William G. Dever, who watched me grow up and was in many ways a surrogate father. 1 benefited greatly from the research done by Michael Sugerman and Lawrence Stager. Unbeknownst to them, they Influenced my work tremendously and 1 look forward to future conversations with them on this subject. A big thank you is due to my father-in-law, Joe Cole, who painstakingly edited this document several times and now knows more about the Late Bronze Age than any layperson should. Finally, thanks go to my personal "guffa grunt", my husband Greg, for schlepping books, photocopying hundreds of articles, cooking dinner and providing financial and moral support. If it wasn't for him, I would still be hiding under the bedcovers. 5 DEDICATION This document is dedicated to the spirit of two extraordinary women, Aunt Tootie and Aunt Nava, who died before I could show them the final product. They will continue to inspire me. With that said, this document is also dedicated to all those who never believed 1 could do it, including myself. The demons have been tamed. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 12 1.

These guidelines are for preparing Chapters C-E of the Survey and related to all of the system’s components from the marine pipeline to offshore facilities for pressure reduction and treatment, the onshore valve, onshore pipelines, onshore treatment facility, INGL and any other infrastructures associated with these facilities. The purpose of these guidelines is to reduce to a minimum the possible environmental risks and environmental effects resulting from implementing the plan in the locations to be selected by the National Planning and Building Board, and based on the EIS submitted regarding the alternatives (Chapters A-B). It should be noted that this project is unique in that is a detailed NOP on the basis of which building permits can be issued, but without any specific developer behind it. Therefore the Survey was written in broad terms and is aimed at defining an “environmental performance framework” that will help advance the move the permits forward with the certainty that no damage will be caused to the public or to the environment.

  • Alexander River Report
    On Saturday morning, July 18th, 2020, at 6:30 a.m. fourteen male cyclists (plus two female cyclists) arrived at the parking lot at the Alexander River Estuary. Welcome Fernando! A new cyclist joined us! Fernando has been following the group for some time now. Fernando, a Ra’anana citizen, is an optician, who arrived from France after 6 years there. The weatherman announced the previous day, that it would be get hotter on Saturday. I looked up to the sky and hung my hopes in the clouds piled up in the sky. The same clouds which later on helped us ease the heat load. We started the ride by bypassing the groundwork taking place in the estuary, in trying to expand and deepen it. The Alexander River Estuary which spills into the sea on the Beit Yanay Beach. The direction of the ride was from the sea to the east, up to a Nature Preserve and back, about 32 km in all. A lot has been said about The Alexander River. It is an overhead stream flowing from the mountains of Samaria to the Mediterranean Sea. It runs moistly in The Hefer Valley. The river is 32 km long. In its upper part it is a seasonal stream, because of the rocky earth through which the water seeps. In its lower part, it is an official National Park, serving as a home for soft turtles. The Turtle Bridge was erected on the river, which attracts many travelers, who come to watch the turtles. The Turtle Bridge There are two versions regarding the origin of the name of the river: one is named after Alexander Jannaeus, who was king in the Hasmonean Dynasty in the 1st century BC., and who conquered the area, in which the river flows.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

  • HRW from IPA ISRAEL March 18 2020 ENG Revised
    Unofficial Translation from Hebrew to English by Human Rights Watch [on Official Israel Planning Administration, Senior Local Planning Division Letterhead] March 19, 2020 To Eric Goldstein Acting Director Middle East and North Africa Division Human Rights Watch Dear Sir, Re: Planning in the Arab communities of Jisr al-Zarqa, Ein Mahel and Qalansawa Ref: Your letter dated March 12, 2020. Your letter in reference has been forwarded to me. Prior to providing responses to your specific questions, I shall address the overall issue of planning and building in Arab communities in Israel and the claim made in your letter regarding Israeli policies that allegedly restrict and confine Arab villages. These remarks constitute a response to paragraph 2 of your letter as well. The Planning Administration has been investing a great deal of effort over a number of years in promoting a broad planning strategy to update master planning in Arab communities, including Druz and Bedouin communities, as an outcome of a number of targeted government resolutions. These government resolutions address multi-sector development, including, inter alia, strengthening and empowerment of local authorities; economic and employment development; development of infrastructure and social services, housing and public institutions, tourism, security, planning and more, under continuous government monitoring of implementation and spending of the generous budget allocated for this purpose. Of the 132 Arab communities, 119 have current master plans that have been approved, are in the approval process, or are in preparation.
