A woman is more likely to die in childbirth or as a result of it here than in, say, Turkey.
Really. In fact, the maternal death ratio nationally — the rate per 100,000 live births at which women die from causes associated with childbirth — is higher than that of any other developed country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development except Mexico.
Nationally, Northwestern states perform no better than most others, falling in the lower middle. Our neighbors in Oregon are number 31 among all U.S. states. Here in Washington state, we're number 30. Whoopee.
Worst-case numbers assembled for the 2016 Legislature puts Washington's maternal death rate as high as 18.3 per 100,000, which translates to eight actual deaths per year, says Cathy Wasserman, the state Department of Health's non-infections conditions epidemiologist and an affiliate assistant professor at the UW School of Public Health. But, she says, that's too high.
The Washington rate does fall well below the average of 23.8 deaths per 100,000 births in the District of Columbia and 48 states. (That calculation excludes two outlier states: California, which does much better, and Texas, which is much higher and headed toward the levels of next-door Mexico.)
Overall, the U.S. has experienced rising rates of maternal deaths in recent years, even as the rest of the world has seen improvements.
"One of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals was to reduce global maternal mortality by three-fourths between 1990 and 2015," a New York Times editorial noted recently. "The world missed that target but still reduced maternal mortality by 45 percent. Set against that progress, America’s record is unconscionable."
And it's not entirely clear how to change that.
"We know enough science to care for almost all complications that arise" in or because of pregnancy and childbirth, says Dr. Nicholas Kassebaum of the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). "What we don't know enough about is the science of how to get it to people who need it."
What's going on? “The first time I saw our results for the United States, I thought there must be some error,” Kassebaum told the New York Times. But there wasn't.
The relatively low number of deaths makes a fine-grained statistical analysis difficult but should make it relatively easy on a state level to look at individual cases.
The American rise in maternal deaths seems to track the American rise in obesity and diabetesLogically, they're connected. But the statistics show only that they have occurred at the same time. Are we looking at cause and effect? "We definitely see a temporal correlation," Kassebaum says. He and others certainly suspect a causal connection. "When I talk to obstetricians and gynecologists," he says, "most of them have a 'well, yeah, that's pretty obvious to us' kind of reaction."
Science, however, still lacks adequate information about the interplay between obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and maternal death, Kassebaum says. At the very least, the correlation is, as Kassebaum puts it, "compelling enough" that someone should take a closer look.
No one else in the world looks at such a wide array of health outcome statistics as the IHME, which was founded in 2007 with money from the Gates Foundation and the state. "It takes a while to wrap your mind around" the array of data, Kassebaum says, "but when you do it's pretty exciting."
Nevertheless, Kassebaum says, "It's really tough to do statistics when you have an event that's so rare. One of the ways to get around that is [to create] maternal mortality review boards." Those can ask: "What are the commonalities among the women who died?"
Arguably, the fact that the United Kingdom has had such a panel since 1954 helps explain the UK's very low rate of maternal deaths — less than one-quarter of ours. But, also arguably, gathering such information could be much harder here in a country without a national healthcare system like Britain has.
Still, individual states have started forming such panels on their own. Kassebaum says that in 2008, when he started on this research, only eight states had them. Now, a couple of dozen do.
One is Washington. Last spring, the Legislature established a state maternal mortality review panel to look at the specifics of every maternal death. The panel's first report is due next July. Under the terms of the Legislature's measure, the group will sunset in 2020 unless lawmakers decide to fund it beyond that date. Dr. Wasserman of the state Department of Health says that even if the Legislature turns thumbs down on future funding, the panel will have analyzed almost 10 years of data and should be able to help the state's health care system improve its practices from pre-natal care through devliery and beyond.
The Washington State Medical Association, Washington Chapter of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the Washington State Hospital Association lobbied for the bill. It's a subject that people in the obstetrical and hospital communities have grown very aware of, Wasserman says. The numbers may not be large, but "these are deaths that are largely considered preventable," she says. And they are only the tip of an iceberg of mothers and infants who experience serious health issues. "Every one of these deaths," she says, "represents more instances of severe morbidity."
"Historically, we haven't had all the information that we've needed," Wasserman says. Researchers haven't been able to see "the whole sequence of care: When was a complication identified? Was it identified when it should have been?" And if so, did the patient receive all the proper care? For her, the really exciting part about the new law is that "it will give us access to the medical records."
What counts as a maternal death? The state counts every death of someone who has given birth within a year and hasn't died of some clearly unrelated cause such as a car crash or cancer. That may be both too broad and too narrow. The classic reasons for which women die in or shortly after childbirth — hemmorhage, infection — are what one tends to think of, but a lot of deaths can be attributed to other causes. And it’s way riskier to have a kid if you're over 45, but more and more women are doing it. The raw number of deaths attributable to age is therefore increasing, but the death rate among older women is not.
There are also some pretty big unknowns. Washington's current statistics don't capture deaths related to miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies, Wasserman explains. Nor do they include suicides brought on by postpartum depression. The new panel could choose to include suicide, Wasserman says, but it doesn't have to.
Kassebaum of the IHME says the inclusion of postpartum suicides is very controversial. Finland led the world in looking at it. But different U.S. states take different approaches, and whether or not to count a suicide is tricky, he explains: How many women would have committed suicide even if they hadn't become pregnant? It's hard to say. And, he explains, although a maternal suicide devastates a family, and everyone knows by now that such things happen, it's still so rare that statistics don't really clarify much.
The overall numbers do presumably reflect somewhat more traditional risk factors. As Wasserman notes, poverty exacerbates any number of health problems.
Access to health care also contributes. Kassebaum observes that without access, a woman is more likely to get pregnant, and more likely to have trouble when she does.
You don't have to visit Britain or Germany or the Netherlands to find a country with much lower maternal death rates: Just drive across the Canadian border at Sumas. What are the key differences between the U.S. and Canada? Kassebaum suggests looking at "the socio-demographic differences,"—specifically at home and our economic "inequality, [its] lack of universal care."
Canada's maternal death rate is less than one-fourth as high as ours.

I am almost done with my new PC build. But I don't know what cables that came with my 850w P2 SuperNova PSU I need use in order to properly power my build and where they go into the other computer components. I've given a diagram of the motherboard I am using (idk if it helps), I also have given a list of the main parts to my build if it helps. I know the MB cable obviously, but cables like the PERIF I have no idea if I need them and if I do, where they go into the computer itself. My last build was 8 years ago so please bare with me if my questions are rather stupid ones.

After an extensive study of glaciers throughout the Himalayas, India’s Ministry of Environment and Forests reports most did not retreat during 2009. The ministry further concluded there is no strong evidence the modest retreat of some Himalayan glaciers in recent years was caused by global warming.
In an August 2009 white paper, the ministry reports that even in the case of many glaciers that are retreating, ice in the remaining portion of the glacier is thickening.
Weather Variation Drives Glaciers
Geologists at India’s Jammu University report annual variations in precipitation and other weather factors, not global climate change, are the primary cause of growth and retreat of Himalayan glaciers.
“Inter and intra-annual variations in weather parameters have more impact on the glaciers of northwest Himalayas, rather than any impact due to global warming,” the Jammu University geologists reported in Current Science.
Moreover, the geologists report, many Himalayan glaciers are stable or growing. Among the glaciers that are retreating, a frequent cause is ice calving that occurs without respect to global warming.
230 Glaciers Growing
In another study, accepted for publication in an upcoming issue of Annals of Glaciology, a team of scientists led by John Shroder of the University of Nebraska-Omaha reports 230 glaciers in the Western Himalayas are growing. Glaciers at such famous sites as Mt. Everest and neighboring K2 and Nanga Parbat are among those growing.
“These are the biggest mid-latitude glaciers in the world,” said Shroder. “And all of them are either holding still or advancing.”
Snowfall increases in the region are contributing to surging river flows in addition to increasing glacier mass. Providing water for much of India and Pakistan, the Indus River has experienced larger water volume in recent years, Shroder reports.
“Himalayan glaciers, like glaciers elsewhere, are going through cyclic growth and decay with no apparent linkage to present warming,” said meteorologist Madhav Khandekar.
“The Tibetan Plateau did show a decrease [in glacier mass] during the 1980s, but more recent satellite data do not show such a decrease at present,” Khandekar explained.

A strong performance by junior outside hitter Nalani Young propelled the Leopards to a 3-1 win against Chapman on Tuesday at the Frantz Athletic Court.
“We are in the second half of conference now and I think we really have to show what La Verne is all about,” Young said.
Young had 17 kills, four service aces and two blocks in the game.
The Leopards dominated set one, where they took a 5-0 lead and never looked back. Despite the Panthers’ efforts to stop the bleeding, the Leopards went on to score nine straight points in one stretch and the Panthers only mustered consecutive points once in the set. The Leopards would go on to take set one, 25-10.
The Panthers turned it around for set two and took advantage of some of the Leopards’ mistakes. La Verne led 13-8 but after six straight points by the Panthers, Chapman was in the lead. A timeout for the Leopards helped them settle down and take a 19-16 lead, but the Panthers clawed back and won a nail-biter, 25-23, after rallying for three straight points to end it.
The Leopards got back on track in the third set and never trailed. With the help of four kills each from senior middle back Kari Esseff and freshman middle back Olivia Rueckert, the Leopards maintained control of the whole set. It would finish with six consecutive points by the Leopards, including back-to-back aces by Young. The Leopards won set three, 25-13. Esseff went on to have 12 kills in the game and Rueckert had 13 kills.
Rueckert has been solid all season for the Leopards as a freshman and her mindset in practice is paying off.
“Just that competitive drive that Jeff (Hendershot, head coach) has been talking about a lot and he showed us a Kobe Bryant video earlier which we should have incorporated in that second set and just finish the job,” Rueckert said.
In set four, the Leopards jumped out to an early 5-1 lead and, like set three, they never trailed. The Panthers fought hard and made it close as the largest deficit in the set was five points. Freshman outside hitter Mya Ray had four kills and a service ace in the fourth set, including the set and match-clinching kill. The Leopards won, 25-21, and clinched the match victory, 3-1. Ray ended the game with 14 kills and two service aces.
“We just got out of our heads and just started playing more loose and comfortable,” Ray said.
The Leopards also traveled to Eagle Rock and took down the Occidental Tigers, 3-1, on Oct. 7.
These victories put the Leopards on a three-game winning streak but it is still business as usual for the team.
“We are not too high on it because we are just trying to take it one game at a time,” Hendershot said.
The next match for the Leopards is at 7 p.m. Friday against Caltech in the Braun Athletic Center in Pasadena. They will then continue on the road to matchup against Pomona-Pitzer at 2 p.m. Saturday, then on to the next with Whittier on Oct. 18 before they head home to face Occidental again Oct. 21.
The Leopards are now 12-6 overall and 6-3 in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play.

This Christmas memory comes from Missy Raines, bassist with Claire Lynch, and leader of her own group, Missy Raines & The New Hip.
It’s late, and Ben and I are making our way to my childhood home for a Christmas visit. As we drive north through the mountains, my mind wanders back to years past and the rich memories I have of this season. Next to summer time and bluegrass festivals, I think the time my mother loved the best was Christmas. By early November, it became her main focus, as soon as we put up the last lawn chair and winterized the camper, that is. She did her ‚Äòspring cleaning’ then, (no time in the spring, there were festivals to attend!), and sometimes a major home improvement project took place, which usually included changing the color of the walls. To this day, the smell of paint makes me think of one thing only, December 25th.
Christmas was a special time because my parents made it special. And for my mother, it was a particularly special time. We had lots of traditions and rituals. Many of them, I learned later were unique to our family and I suspect they came out of her imagination. She had what I would call a ‚Äòless than desirable’ childhood and she used to tell me that it was her goal in life to break that cycle and create a completely different environment with her children. She succeeded in that. She cast a spell of magic around most holidays and infected us all with a joy that has never dimmed.
There’s something to turning things around, to react to the negative with a positive, to making good out of bad. It’s powerful and empowering. I have felt it. I have also missed it, missed the opportunity, seen it go by like a fast train. But each time it’s presented I know I have a choice. If we could think about our actions not as quick moments; first here, then gone, but rather as long lasting ripples that radiate out and lap upon those around us then we would always choose wisely. We would choose to make something good of every situation.
It’s at this time of year that this seems so relevant to me. This is a time when like no other, our actions are under the microscope. This is the time of year when we’re supposed to see the good, no matter how hard it may be to find. We sing about it, we pray about it, we decorate about it, with the words, PEACE and JOY and LOVE all around us. For a few short weeks a year, it’s as if the world is a photograph where (pardon this) the negative is reversed. The images are the same as before but we see them differently. We react with love, with kindness, and with tolerance. We turn the other cheek, sit on our tempers, count our blessings and turn things around.
This is the beauty of the season and though it’s clich?©, wouldn’t it be lovely if it were like this all year?
My mother taught me many important things, but perhaps the most important thing was something I learned through example. I am the product of a ‚Äòcycle broken.’ My siblings and I are the beginning of the end. We have a solid foundation of love and trust and happy memories to sustain us through our adult lives. It could have so easily been different for us but for a choice she made to change a negative into a positive.
My parents are gone but our family grows with grandchildren and great grandchildren, and I see the ripples flowing, and they are strong, healthy and long lasting. Thanks Mom and Dad.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Feds rock Bay Area quake team
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, August 15, 1995
1995-08-15 04:00:00 PDT MENLO PARK -- Federal officials have slashed the agency that studies the No. 1 hazard to the Bay Area - earthquakes - firing nearly one-fourth of the seismologists at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park.
The layoffs are part of a 150-worker reduction at the Menlo Park office, effective Oct. 14, that was brought on by federal budget cuts.
Twenty-three scientists in the 100-member seismology division, which studies earthquakes, will be laid off, agency officials said Monday.
"Everyone is sort of in shock," said Geological Survey quake researcher Andy Michael, who survived the cuts.

"People who were given notices (of firing) were told they could go on administrative leave for the rest of the day."
The cuts are part of a nationwide cutback - more than 500 employees total - ordered Monday by Geological Survey Director Gordon Eaton. They affect the agency's geologic division, divided among three field offices - Menlo Park, Denver and Reston, Va.
Another 50 to 60 Menlo Park staffers - the exact number hasn't been determined - will be reassigned, at least some of them to lower-ranking jobs.
Nationwide, the Geological Survey has about 8,000 employees, 1,000 of them at Menlo Park.
Another survivor of the layoffs, seismologist David Oppenheimer, said officials had met privately with staffers slated for firing. Afterward, those fired
"basically disappeared - they were embarrassed."
"It's different here than it is at, say, a corporation, because people felt there was a mission here that served the public - and they're (now) being told that that work isn't valued," Oppenheimer said.
The cuts don't pose an imminent public hazard, agency officials stressed. At least for the time being, researchers will continue to operate the Geological Survey's West Coast web of quake- and volcano-monitoring devices.
But fewer staffers will be around to analyze the data once the cuts take effect, agency officials acknowledged. The monitoring devices automatically record shakes caused by earthquakes and volcanic activity and are used to anticipate where and when future geologic hazards may strike.
Also, Geological Survey officials are informally discussing the possibility of saving money by cutting back on the monitoring of the inactive volcanoes Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen. Mount Lassen last erupted in the 1920s, and Shasta about 200 years ago.
"If you don't record data (from) an earthquake, you've missed that opportunity, not only for your (personal) research but for generations," Oppenheimer said.
"Seismologists would love to know what happened" seismically in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, Oppenheimer said - "and there's not enough information on it."
Especially hard hit Monday were the Geological Survey's divisions of marine geology, which maps offshore earthquake faults and tsunami hazards; and minerals mapping, in which researchers map the distribution of minerals, some of which are rare and were valued during the Cold War because of their potential military use.
"Even before this year's budget cuts, the geologic division was in financial trouble," said Geological Survey spokeswoman Pat Jorgenson. "And they've simply been juggling (finances) around for the last few years to avoid this (cut), and now it cannot be avoided any longer."
In recent years, numerous Geological Survey staffers retired or took buyouts because they saw the cuts coming.
"Older people retired," Oppenheimer said. Others
"went to universities, which is a very tight market because students aren't enrolling (in geology) the way they were in 1970s and '80s, because the word is out that Earth science isn't a growth field anymore."
The cuts "will not affect our seismic network at all," Jorgenson said, "(but) we will have fewer people to deal with the data when it comes in.
"The type of thing that will suffer is research for pure research value alone," she said. "We're no longer doing science for the sake of science; we're doing science for the sake of results that people can see." <


The Adam Courchaine-Brett Appio got off on the right foot with their new teammates on the Erie Otters.
Courchaine stopped 30 shots in his debut to lead the Erie Otters to a 4-2 win over the Brampton Battalion in Ontario Hockey League play Friday night.
Appio scored his first goal with Erie in Friday night's game. Appio and Courchaine were acquired from Sarnia on Monday.
The Otters snapped a two-game losing skid by winning their third straight at home. The Battalion lost their fifth straight game and ninth in the past 11 overall.
Courchaine had an enjoyable first period as an Otter. He faced only four shots on goal against the OHL's lowest offence. None led to quality scoring chances for the Battalion.
Elsewhere in the OHL it was Erie 4 Brampton 2; Mississauga 2 Kitchener 1; Saginaw 5 Niagara 3; Owen Sound 4 Guelph 3; London 3 Kingston 2; Peterborough 4 Ottawa 3 (SO); Sault Ste. Marie 8 Sarnia 4;Sudbury 4 Oshawa 3 (SO) and Barrie 4 Plymouth 2.
At Erie, Pa., Shawn Szydlowski, Anthony Luciani and Brett Cook scored for Erie (20-16-7).
Domenic Alberga and Sean Jones replied for Brampton (14-20-9).
Majors 2 Rangers 1
At Kitchener, Ont., Riley Brace had the power-play winner as Mississauga doubled the Rangers.
Jordan Mayer had the other goal for Mississauga (29-8-5).
John Moore opened scoring for Kitchener (28-12-4).
Spirit5 5 IceDogs 3
At Saginaw, Mich., the Spirit scored three goals in the third period to rally past Niagara.
Jordan Skellett scored twice and added an assist for Saginaw (22-16-5), while Peter Hermenegildo, Jordan Szwarz and Ryan O'Connor each had a goal and an assist.

NatWest chief pledges reimbursement for anyone affected by IT meltdown
Tuesday 10 July 2012
Bank customers who suffered knock-on costs during NatWest's IT meltdown will be reimbursed no matter who they bank with, its chief executive said today.
Royal Bank of Scotland Group boss Stephen Hester also promised free credit checks for people who fear their lending status may have been affected because of their inability to pay bills in the crisis last month.
In an open letter to users of the MoneySavingExpert website, Mr Hester said that while non-customers should contact their own bank to resolve their problems, anyone who has incurred extra charges will be reimbursed, whether they are RBS customers or not.
RBS Group is still clearing up the chaos caused by a computer failure three weeks ago, with Ulster Bank's problems lingering for longer than those of Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest.
The group has so far cleared up 90% of 21,000 inquiries which could not be resolved immediately and needed further investigation.
Those who have lost money directly because of the problems can expect to recoup costs such as overdraft fees and interest, late payment fees and interest on mortgages, loans and credit cards and missing interest on savings.
For those who have had to dip into an RBS Group isa, the bank can manually reset its tax-free allowance to make sure customers are not disadvantaged.
If someone has been wrongly hit by charges from another major bank or building society, the other provider should refund the customer as an agreement is in place to treat people who have been affected sympathetically.
But RBS Group said it will reimburse any losses as a direct result of the crisis, if they are not refunded by another party, which includes those for non-customers as well as its own.
People have been urged to keep evidence of extra charges such as emergency travel tickets so they can prove how they were out of pocket.
Wrongly applied RBS/NatWest charges between June 19 and July 6 will be automatically refunded to customers, but people might need to make a claim for those after July 6, the banking group said.
The window for Ulster Bank customers is ongoing as the group is still trying to clear up the problems. It will write to customers detailing refunds by the end of the month.
If someone has had problems with their wages because their employer banks with RBS, this can be identified from the reference number on their bank statement, next to the entry detailing payments.
Mr Hester said: "Those who incurred extra costs will be reimbursed, whether they are our customers or not.
"We know there are customers of other banks who will have been affected and have worked closely with those banks to ensure they can resolve any such concerns. They should contact those banks about resolving their problems."
The failure left many customers unable to see or use cash paid into their accounts over the past few weeks, meaning people had home purchases delayed and holidays disrupted.
Fears have been raised that people might unknowingly have their credit scores blotted, but concerned customers will be able to get a special code to obtain a free online Experian report.
Mr Hester said: "We will ensure no customer's credit rating is affected as a result of this incident. We will work to set the record straight before any credit reports are supplied to Experian.
"And to give peace of mind, we're also writing to these customers with details of how they can receive a free credit check.
"The next step is to put things right for people who faced knock-on costs during the systems delay."
Mr Hester, who has said he will forgo his bonus this year because of the problems, apologised again for the "unacceptable" delays.
He said: "This incident was a stark reminder of how our customers rely on us every day. I am determined that we win back their trust.
"When we have finished the job of putting things right, we will also want to invite our customers to have a discussion with us about how we can do things better in the future."
MoneySavingExpert.com creator Martin Lewis cautioned that many people will have lost far more cash than the obvious bank fees and charges, such as people who might have had to buy a new aeroplane flight.
He said: "I'd suggest all customers tot up their direct losses and if it isn't refunded directly, contact the bank and ask it for the money back, so keep receipts.
"This applies to affected non-customers too, such as those who didn't get paid because their firm banks with RBS."

User Reviews for Huawei Honor Play


text:
The Dow 30 (INDU) fell below its 10-month old up trendline recently and I discounted that as the S&P didn't follow suit. Today's bear rout suggests that INDU is the still-reigning champion Market bellwether
even though comprising only 30 stocks.
As I noted in my last Trader's Corner (8/22), that yes the "the Dow had a bearish penetration of its up trendline dating from its mid-November lows... (but) Keep in mind that INDU is only 30 stocks (and) ...portfolio managers consider the S&P 500 to be the best 'benchmark' index for main stream economic stocks as it has so many of these stocks in this Index."
As INDU broke its trendline support, SPX rebounded from its up trendline and except for still-strong bullish sentiment, other technical indicators hit 'oversold' readings suggesting correction-over or mostly so. WRONG! Instead, the small (in number of stocks) but mighty Dow, again was first to suggest a bigger than expected bear move. INDU now looks like it could retest its prior Closing low at 14659 or its prior intraday low at 14551. I look at intraday lows and highs as key 'test' areas.
Once a retracement of a big prior move goes beyond 2/3rds (66%), there's a significant chance that the stock or index will retrace its entire prior move, or a 100 percent retracement. If a second low is made in the same area as a prior key low, this is of course how double bottoms can form. Once a prior important low on a daily chart basis is also pierced, this pattern suggests an intermediate-term trend reversal. (On a long-term trend basis, INDU would have to fall below 13000 to suggest a major trend downside reversal.)
Since I've made a big point of where the S&P (500) or SPX got to or didn't in terms of its chart, here's its daily chart next, with a re-drawn 'conventional' up trendline; one connecting only the lowest lows and not the greatest number of lows as in an internal up trendline. It's possible we'll see support at develop at this trendline but the chart looks more bearish than that currently.
The low-1600 area in SPX (1608-1616) represents support implied by the 62 to 66% retracement zone. A move to this area, but not lower, would suggest that the current correction could have run its course. 1560 is intermediate support implied by SPX's prior intraday low. A weekly close below 1560 would turn the intermediate trend lower, joining the short-term bearish trend. A weekly Close below 1500 would put the long-term bull trend in question.
I see this correction as a deeper one than I expected but I don't see it as reversal of the long-term bull market. It's more of a minor, not major, panic. A major panic would be something more likely brought on by a prolonged government shut-down or self-suicide by our government reps. I guess their approval rating could go to a MINUS 10 if there was a way to measure that!
Last but not least, as to whether there might also be a 'tech-wreck' ahead, I turn to my favorite index to trade when feeling bold, the Nas 100 (NDX). NDX of course tipped off some trouble for the bulls when the Index again made another high in the 3150 area which formed a line of clear cut prior highs/resistance. This wasn't such a big deal EXCEPT that after such a decisive new high (to the 3150 area) for the recent rebound, NDX then traced out a key downside reversal by the Index ending the day below its prior day's Close. A bad omen for the bulls there!
However, and to put NDX in perspective in technical/chart terms, the Nas 100 hasn't retraced much at its prior advance. Not even 38% which is more or less a 'minimal' Fibonacci retracement. The 2987-3000 area could offer strong technical support and NDX's up trendline intersects well under this, implying fairly major support at 2920 currently.
It's really a tale of two markets here as tech stocks are still not being sold off in a major way as they represent one area (technology) that can still see strong earnings growth. Not so with the 500 S&P companies, with a few exceptions (mostly tech), given their anemic earnings growth in the current economy.
GOOD TRADING SUCCESS!

Top Seth Helgeson News
Islanders' Seth Helgeson: Called up from minors
Helgeson was promoted from AHL Bridgeport on Thursday.
Helgeson has registered three assists and 22 PIM in 13 games for the Sound Tigers this year. While the 29-year-old is unlikely to get into Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh, it would be his first appearance in an NHL game since 2016-17 with the Devils.... See More ... See Less
Islanders' Seth Helgeson: Ushered to minors
The Islanders re-assigned Helgeson to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
In the same day the defenseman got called up to the big club, the Islanders quickly sent Helgeson back down. He obviously didn't suit up in Tuesday's game against Ottawa, and is still looking for his first NHL appearance since the 2016-17 season.... See More ... See Less
Islanders' Seth Helgeson: Called up from Bridgeport
The Islanders recalled Helgeson from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.
Helgeson will provide the Isles with a seventh healthy defenseman while Nick Leddy tends to a lower-body injury ahead of Tuesday's game against the Senators. The 29-year-old hasn't made an appearance at the NHL level since the 2016-17 season.... See More ... See Less
Islanders' Seth Helgeson: Reaches new deal with Isles
Helgeson signed a two-year, two-way contract extension with the Islanders on Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. The deal is worth $650,000 next season, but it gets bumped up to $700,000 in 2019-20, with the AHL rates set at $250,000 each year.
We mean no disrespect to Helgeson -- he plays a physical game and appears resolute in his quest to land a stable NHL role -- but all eyes are on Islanders captain John Tavares as he mulls over an offer to re-sign with the Metropolitan Division club or hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent Sunday. Helgeson has accrued one goal, three assists and 50 PIM in as many career contests, so take that for what's its worth.... See More ... See Less
Islanders' Seth Helgeson: Lands on waivers
Helgeson was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Friday, Newsday reports.
Formerly with the Devils, Helgeson signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Isles on July 1. Assuming he clears waivers, Helgeson will wind up in AHL Bridgeport to start the season.... See More ... See Less
Islanders' Seth Helgeson: Signs with Isles
Helgeson signed a one-year two-way contract with the Islanders on Saturday.
Helgeson is likely ticketed for Bridgeport of the AHL and will be called upon if and when injuries arise. He played with the Devils last season and scored one goal in nine games.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Returns to minors
Helgeson was assigned to AHL Albany on Wednesday.
With the potential return of Pavel Zacha (concussion) looming, the Devils needed to unload one of their eight defensemen. The 26-year-old drew into just four games since being recalled Jan. 30, netting a goal and posting a plus-2 rating.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Sticking with Devils for time being
Helgeson cleared waivers Saturday, but the Devils didn't immediately send him to AHL Albany, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
The team's hesitancy to send Helgeson directly to its minor-league affiliate could signal that a trade is in the works. A brawny blueliner listed at 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds, it's conceivable that the 26-year-old ends up in a packaged trade since he qualifies as a rental player with unrestricted free-agent status this summer. However, if he stays put in the Devils system, something has to give as the team currently has a lopsided roster composition comprised of eight healthy defensemen and the bare minimum up front....

Devils' Seth Helgeson: Sent to waiver wire
Helgeson was waived by the Devils on Friday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
The Devils are yielding 31.4 shots per game this season to the detriment of starting goalie Cory Schneider, so it's no surprise to see a bit of a shakeup on the blue line. Helgeson has found a second home in the press box, appearing in just nine games this campaign, so he may be hoping for another team to scoop him up. Otherwise, the third-year defender likely would take a step back by toiling in the minors with AHL Albany.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Brought up from minors
Helgeson was recalled from AHL Albany on Monday.
Prior to getting sent down, Helgeson was a healthy scratch in six of the Devils' last seven outings, but with Andy Green (upper body) and John Moore (concussion) still on injured reserve, Helgeson could suit up when the team travels to Detroit on Tuesday.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Sent down to AHL
Helgeson was sent down to AHL Albany on Thursday.
The blueliner has been fruitless in both leagues this year, with no points in five games in the NHL and five points in 30 games in the AHL. If he finds his way back to the big league before the season ends, don't expect much fantasy production from the 26-year-old.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Called up from minors
Helgeson was recalled from AHL Albany on Thursday.
Helgeson was called up due to concerns regarding Andy Greene's (eye) availability for Friday's matchup with Toronto. If Greene is unable to play, the 26-year-old Helgeson figures to slot into the Devils' third pairing alongside Steve Santini.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Reassigned to AHL
Helgeson was returned to AHL Albany on Saturday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Helgeson drew into each of the last two games for the Devils, his first NHL action of the season. It's possible he's been returned to get some extra action in before the Devils return from break Tuesday, but his roster status shouldn't be of much concern in most fantasy leagues.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Promoted to parent club
Helgeson was recalled from AHL Albany on Thursday, Chris Ryan of The Star-Ledger reports.
Helgeson's ascension to the parent club corresponds to the team placing forward Jacob Josefson on injured reserve with a concussion. There's no need to pluck Helgeson from the waiver wire, but he's a physical and efficient presence on the back line, having picked up 33 PIM and a plus-7 rating in 27 AHL games this season.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Placed on waivers
Helgeson was placed on waivers Tuesday, Andrew Gross of The Record reports.
Helgeson will still count as one the Devils' 23 players until he clears waivers or is claimed by noon Wednesday. The 25-year-old played in 19 NHL games with the Devils last season, recording three assists and 35 penalty minutes.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Sent down to minors
Helgeson was reassigned to AHL Albany on Monday.
Helgeson was in the NHL on an emergency recall and needed to be returned to the minors with David Schlemko returning from injury Saturday. The defenseman garnered a lone helper in his 19 outings with the Devils, so it is unlikely he will be brought back up, barring another injury.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Emergency recall Tuesday
Helgeson was added to the Devils roster on an emergency basis Tuesday.
Counting Helgeson, who stands tall at 6-foot-4, the Devils have eight defensemen on the active roster ahead of Thursday's road game against the Sharks. Of course, fellow d-man David Warsofsky is dealing with a lower-body injury and four forwards are on injured reserve, so Helgeson can be viewed as insurance in case some of the injuries stick by the time the next game rolls around. He's certainly not an option in fantasy leagues, having recorded a measly three points in 34 career matches.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Assigned to AHL Albany
Helgeson was assigned to AHL Albany on Saturday.
Helgeson registered his first point of the season with the Devils a couple weeks ago, but has done nothing else scoring wise. He'll head back to Albany for now, but should make a quick return after Monday when the 23-man roster limit is lifted, Tom Gulitti of The Record speculates.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Recalled by Devils
Helgeson was recalled by the Devils on Monday.
Helgeson was sent to the minors as part of a mass exodus of players during the All-Star break for extra playing time. Now that the recess has completed, he'll rejoin the Devils, and should slot back into the lineup Tuesday with only six defensemen on the current roster.... See More ... See Less
Devils' Seth Helgeson: Sent to minors Wednesday
Helgeson was sent down to AHL Albany on Wednesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
The big defenseman was one of four young players sent down to the AHL for the All-Star break to keep them playing. Helgeson won't pick up a ton of points, or any for that matter, but he did pick up five hits in 12:13 of ice time on Wednesday.... See More ... See Less

Here are a couple of charts to help you choose a cpu and video card according to how good you want the computer to be. I'm not sure what games you will be able to play with a G-630 cpu , I think you should look up the minimum spec's of some of the games that you want to play and with the help of the cpu chart see where that cpu falls in whether or not it will play the game.

An Evening with AIDS activist Rae Lewis-Thornton
When: 7pm, Monday, Nov. 30
Where: Armstrong University, 11935 Abercorn St., Solms Hall, Room 108
BACK in 1986, rising political campaign consultant Rae Lewis-Thornton organized a blood drive for the Red Cross. She donated a pint herself, only to be informed that she tested positive for HIV. She was 23 years old.
Six years later, the virus had infected her with full-blown AIDS.
Instead of accepting what back then was a certain death sentence, Lewis-Thornton began sharing her story at time when no one wanted to believe it:
That an educated African-American woman who was drug-free and had had few sexual partners had contracted AIDS, and that anyone could.
Through her two and half decades of treatment—which has included the evolution of AIDS drugs—Lewis-Thornton has worked to dispel the myths and stigma surrounding the disease. She became a household name after she appeared on the cover of ESSENCE magazine in 1994 and has traveled worldwide on the lecture circuit, but acknowledges that interest in AIDS advocacy seems to have waned in the U.S. in the last few years—even though more than 1.2 million Americans are infected with HIV, and African Americans account for 44 percent of new diagnoses.
Though she didn’t expect to see her 40th birthday, the indefatigable writer and activist, now 53, continues to chronicle her fight for dignity and advocacy on Twitter and on her blog, Diva Living with AIDS. She is the author of two books, Amazing Grace: Letters Along My Journey and The Politics of Respectability.
Ms. Lewis-Thornton will be in Savannah on Monday, Nov. 30 to give a free lecture hosted by Armstrong State University’s Department of Criminal Justice, Social and Political Science.
The event is part of the #SayHerName Visiting Scholars Program, a collaboration that offers the public opportunity to hear nationally-acclaimed African-American women who have served as social justice activists and personal health advocates.
She spoke to Connect from her home in Chicago the same day Charlie Sheen announced his HIV+ positive status.
First of all, how are you today?
I’m good, I’m good today, thank you! I’ve got a million things to do, blog posts to write—a TV station is interviewing me at 6 o’clock.
Do you still struggle with symptoms on a daily basis?
Well, once you have an AIDS diagnosis, you always have an AIDS diagnosis. So I have that, but the HIV medicine has worked very well for me.
When the meds began to shift, when protease inhibitors came along, that really changed the landscape for everyone with HIV. I was fortunate enough to hang on to be able benefit from those meds. But at one point, I really was dying.
Today, the best way to describe it is that my symptoms are under control in terms of that my viral loads are undetectable, my T-cell count is great, and it’s very unlikely that I would have an opportunistic infection. But the only thing the meds do is keep HIV at bay, and I have little nagging things because my immune cannot repair itself.
Because I’ve aged with this disease, and because my immune system was so compromised, I tend to have more issues than the average person who would be diagnosed with HIV today and getting into treatment and care.
It’s probably too early to tell, but how will Charlie Sheen’s admission change the conversation about HIV?
I think that Charlie Sheen coming out is a good thing, because we’re talking about HIV on a day that isn’t World AIDS Day, right?
So it’s reminding people that this disease is still here and it creates a new avenue for people like myself. AIDS activists like me have to seize this moment—I’m all over Twitter and Instagram right now!
On the other hand, I’m engaging people on what is true and not true. People are having a real hard time accepting what this disease is today in 2015. There’s only so much you can explain in a soundbite.
Where do people need the most education?
People see HIV as in invitation to judge. There’s a lot of talk about “good AIDS” and “bad AIDS,” as if how you get it determines what kind of person you are and whether you deserve compassion.
Whatever we think about Charlie Sheen, that he’s misogynistic, etc., the climate around HIV is still awful. In 2015, for people to be saying the things that they’re saying, it looks like 1992.
Charlie Sheen spent four years hiding the secret of his diagnosis and paying millions of dollars to blackmailers—that’s wrong. He kept it a secret because he didn’t want people to judge him.
How do you direct the conversation away from the rude sensationalism to reduce the stigma of HIV?
Unfortunately, what people think they know about HIV has not advanced with the medical breakthroughs. We’re lagging in our understanding of HIV and people living with AIDS. In fact, the medical advancements have been so great that people tend to think this disease doesn’t exist anymore, which causes greater stigma.
In the South, the stigma is really huge and helps facilitate the cycle around HIV/AIDS: People won’t go get tested because they don’t want to know their HIV status, because who wants to deal with that in this climate?
About 38 percent people infected are infected by people who don’t know they’re infected. That drives cases up, and people don’t get treatment and care until later, when they’ve already made a transition to full-blown AIDS or are experiencing AIDS-related infections.
So a lot could change with this disease if we could just see it as an illness, not a plague. No one wants to be infected. There has to be some compassion around that. We have to stop shaming around HIV. There’s so much shaming around this disease.
What will you cover in your talk?
I’ll talk about how you become infected—which hasn’t changed—HIV still is sexually transmitted and passed through sharing needles.
And you can’t look at a person and know their HIV status, bottom line. Half of people between the ages of 13-24 do not know their HIV status.
Every time you lay down with a person, you make a choice about your life and your body. You have to decide to think beyond today. I try to convey that they have control over their bodies and they can make the best choice by wrapping it up.
The only thing that will keep you safe is no sex. But a condom used correctly 100 percent of the time will prevent the spread of HIV.
I’d like to say don’t have sex, but that’s not realistic!
What, you mean abstinence-only sex education doesn’t work? [feigns shock]
Abstinence-only sex ed is horrible. It's a disservice to our young people.
Over 54 percent of our youth have had at least one sexual partner by the time they’re 15. Young people are smart, so let’s give them all the information so they can make the best decisions for the bodies and lives. We do it with drugs, why can’t we do it with sex?
So what’s it like to be a post-50 diva?
Oh, I’m doing wonderful. I’m baaad. I'm a badass! Shonda Rhimes said so in her book The Year of Yes!
I’ve stood against the odds, I’ve stood against the shame and stigma around this disease, and I’ve done it with grace and dignity.
Regardless of what people think of me, I’ve done my life with my head up and given an example of how you can live strong with this disease.

Safeguarding Your Tools: Tips To Find The Best Toolbox Locks In Australia
Tools are invaluable for any Australian tradesperson or DIY enthusiast, but their security is paramount. The first line of defence for your tools is a reliable toolbox lock. Choosing the right one can be challenging, with many options available. This article will explore tips to help you select the best toolbox locks in Australia, ensuring your tools remain safe and sound.
Assess Your Toolbox Material
The material of your toolbox plays a crucial role in determining the type of lock you should choose. Toolboxes come in various materials like steel, aluminium, and plastic. Heavy-duty padlocks or cam locks are ideal for steel or aluminium boxes, offering enhanced security. On the other hand, plastic toolboxes may require different lock mechanisms. Consider the durability and strength of your toolbox material before making a lock selection.
Consider Lock Types
Toolbox locks come in different types, each with its advantages. Common options include padlocks, cam, tubular, and electronic locks. Padlocks are versatile and can be used on various types of toolboxes. Cam locks are great for securing drawers, while tubular locks are known for their drill-resistant design. Electronic locks provide advanced security and convenience but may require power sources. Consider your specific needs and preferences when choosing a lock type.
Prioritize Security Features
Security features are paramount when selecting toolbox locks. Look for locks that offer anti-pick, anti-drill, and anti-bump features to deter thieves. High-quality locks also come with hardened steel shackles and bodies for added durability. Consider locks with keyless entry options like combination locks or digital keypads for ease of use. Some locks offer key-alike options, allowing you to use a single key for multiple locks, which can simplify your toolbox security.
Evaluate Lock Size And Fit
Your lock size should match the toolbox’s hasp or lock hole. Measure the dimensions carefully to ensure a snug fit. A lock that is too small or too large may compromise the security of your toolbox. If you need more clarification, consult the lock’s specifications or seek advice from a locksmith or the manufacturer to find the perfect fit.
Check ForWeather Resistance
If you work outdoors or in damp environments, consider weather-resistant toolbox locks. Moisture and corrosion can damage locks over time. Look for locks with protective coatings or seals to keep out moisture and prevent rust. A weather-resistant lock will keep your tools secure and functional, even in challenging outdoor conditions.
Read Reviews And Seek Recommendations
Before making a final decision, read online reviews and seek recommendations from fellow tradespeople or DIY enthusiasts. Reviews can provide valuable insights into the performance and reliability of specific toolbox locks. Additionally, word-of-mouth recommendations from trusted sources can help you narrow your options and make an informed choice.
Set A Budget
Toolbox locks come in various price ranges, so budgeting before shopping is essential. While choosing the cheapest option is tempting, remember that security is an investment. Balance your budget with the level of security you need. Spending more on a high-quality lock protecting your valuable tools is often worthwhile.
Choosing the best toolbox lock in Australia requires careful consideration of factors like toolbox material, lock type, security features, fit, weather resistance, and budget. By following these tips, you can safeguard your tools effectively, ensuring they remain secure and ready for your next project. Stay on tool security; invest in the right lock today.


Arduino is a great microcontroller, but when you want the ability to easily scale your project or exchange components quickly, that’s where BoardX really starts to shine.
BoardX is essentially a microcontroller motherboard, very similar to the motherboard inside your computer. Unlike Arduino and some other microcontrollers, the processor isn’t soldered onto the motherboard with BoardX. Rather, it’s soldered to a second board that stacks right on top of the BoardX motherboard. This allows you to easily swap it for a different one, or even add a second processor right on top.
There aren’t a whole lot of add-ons for the BoardX right now, but if you have an idea for an add-on that isn’t available yet, you can get a blank board that’s fitted perfectly for building your own add-on.
Built and designed by Kevin Green, the BoardX is currently on Kickstarter vying for your sponsorship and a spot in the real world. The board features a larger building base than an board Arduino does, reducing overall vertical height as you incur more add-ons. For example, a BoardX with 6 add-ons is about 3-inches tall. By comparison, an Arduino with the same expansions would be about a foot tall. The BoardX motherboard also provides more power for a wider range of power-hungry add-ons than Arduino currently does.
BoardX works with the Arduino SDK, so if you know anything about Arduino, you can get started right away. BoardX isn’t an instant replacement for Arduino, but it’s something for people looking to be able to quickly modify physical components.
Arduino does have the benefit of being wrapped up in a neat little package, processor and all, so if you already know what you need it might be a cheaper and/or neater option. However, if you’re looking for an alternative that lets you add a second processor on the fly, that seems like something unique to BoardX.

Vidal’s lineage in American literature may be traced back to Henry James, the sophisticated American from the upper echelons of society who mingles with European sophisticates, and Mark Twain, the raw humorist and critic of American empire.Early Years Vidal was born in 1925 with high political and social connections.Now, three years later, we have Empire of Self: A Life of Gore Vidal, Jay Parini’s admiring but unblinkingly honest portrait of the self-mythologizing, self-aggrandizing literary titan and TV celebrity.Tags: Creative Writing Group ExercisesHow Do I Write A Literature ReviewHow To Write A Proposal For A DissertationDownload Business Plan TemplateEssays On The Film PleasantvilleHow To Solve Exponent ProblemsIl Faut Essayer Citation
Norman Mailer once said, I think incorrectly, that Vidal lacked the wound as a novelist. And all he could do was grasp onto the fact that his grandfather—who was remote, blind, and old—was a senator. So Gore didn’t really have these aristocratic roots he liked to claim. Myra Breckenridge might be looked at by sociologists because it’s a post-sexual, transsexual novel. What do you think Gore would have thought of your book? Because one thing a narcissist doesn’t like is to look in a mirror that is in anyway genuinely reflective of what’s on the other side of it.He has also written well over a hundred essays, gathered in several volumes published between 19.Taken as a whole, this seemingly varied work has an uncanny unity, exhibiting a tone of easy familiarity with the world of politics and letters, an urbane wit, and a supreme self-confidence on the part of the writer.Parini’s mercifully concise 460-page biography of this writer, public intellectual, and champion name dropper is larded with anecdotes, put-downs, and epigrams by and about an astonishing parade of the rich, brilliant, and famous.As Parini says, “Gore knew everyone.” So we see Vidal hanging out with literary giants (André Gide, George Santayana, E. Forster, Graham Greene, Anthony Burgess, Tennessee Williams, Stephen Spender), movie giants (Greta Garbo, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Claire Bloom, Federico Fellini), and political giants (the Kennedys, Eleanor Roosevelt).Vidal’s hit play, The Best Man, was revived on Broadway as recently as 2012.But he was perhaps equally well-known for his television duels with Norman Mailer and William F. His most enduring work, though, will likely be his elegant, witty, and often prescient political essays collected in United States: Essays 1952-92.The following is an edited version of our conversation. You only have one opportunity like this to write a book about somebody you knew that well. And Gore had said to me, “Write whatever you want to write. And don’t worry about me, I’ll be dead.”One of the virtues of your book, I must say, is its manageable length.Jay Parini: I hope people realize that this book really strips away the mask. I think it’s imperative nowadays for biographers to write concisely.Yet Parini has produced a bracingly objective and serious literary biography that is also hugely entertaining.It is also something of a tragic story, and very much the biography Gore Vidal deserved. Fried: Did you feel any conflict between being a friend and being a biographer? I always thought that I was walking a bit of a tightrope.

Farewell to a Friend
Israel had good reason to remember King Hassan II of Morocco as “a friend and a statesman,” and not just because of his tireless efforts to build bridges between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors.
Secret cooperation between the Moroccan and Israeli intelligence services began in 1961 under King Hassan’s father, Mohammed V, who allowed Moroccan Jews to emigrate to Israel. The younger monarch broadened and institutionalized the contacts after Meir Amit, the then-head of the Mossad, Israel’s CIA, clandestinely met Hassan in Marrakech in 1964. Undercover contacts continued, with only two brief interruptions, until Hassan’s death last Friday.
Local and foreign reports this week revealed just how deep the mutually beneficial relationship went. The Mossad provided technical assistance and training for its Moroccan sister organization, as well as information on dissidents plotting to assassinate the young king.
Yossi Melman, co-author of a study of Israeli intelligence, disclosed in Ha’aretz that the Mossad also relayed sensitive material on the subversive intentions of Egypt’s revolutionary leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Morocco’s North African neighbor.
According to Oded Granot, a writer on Arab affairs in Ma’ariv, the Mossad delivered more than 100 light tanks to Morocco in the 1960s to strengthen Hassan in his conflict with Algeria over the Spanish Sahara. These were apparently smuggled into Morocco via a third country.
The first cooling came in 1965, when the Mossad’s hand was revealed in the murder of one of Hassan’s political foes, Mahdi Ben-Barqa. Israel, apparently, helped track him but did not kill him. The two sides distanced themselves from each other, but cooperation soon resumed.
Morocco supplied Israel with valuable intelligence data about joint Arab military planning before the 1967 Six-Day War. Relations soured again after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when Morocco infuriated Israelis by sending a token brigade to Syria as a gesture of Arab solidarity.
But three years later, Yitzhak Rabin became the first Israeli prime minister to pay a clandestine visit to Morocco. Rabin, disguised in a Beatles-style wig and rising-executive glasses, explored with the king the prospects for peace with Egypt and Jordan.
After Menachem Begin’s right-wing Likud came to power in 1977, Hassan hosted discreet talks between Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Anwar Sadat’s special envoy, Hassan Tohami. Dayan, who slipped in from France, wore dark glasses instead of his trademark eye patch. The dialogue persuaded the Egyptian president to fly to Jerusalem and paved a way toward the 1979 peace treaty, the first between Israel and an Arab state.
Although Israel and Morocco have still not established full diplomatic relations, the king openly hosted two Labor prime ministers — Rabin and Shimon Peres — in the 1990s (Hassan confided to Peres that he had a Jewish wet nurse, named Simha). Their successor, Ehud Barak, was to have stopped over in Morocco on his way home from Washington last week, but postponed the visit.
Barak was no stranger to the king. As a 37-year-old colonel, he was one of a delegation of Israeli military and intelligence officers who flew to Marrakech in 1979 to congratulate him on his 50th birthday. As Shimon Peres’ Foreign Minister, Barak returned on an official visit in 1996.
Both men were included in a large delegation, headed by President Ezer Weizman, which represented Israel at Hassan’s funeral last Sunday. Foreign Minister David Levy was revisiting Rabat, the city of his birth, for the first time since migrating to Israel as a 17-year-old, 42 years ago.
To President Clinton’s disappointment, Syria’s President Hafez Assad stayed away — apparently because he did not want to be cajoled into what, for him, would have been a premature encounter with Barak.
Israeli leaders did, however, have what they hailed as a historic meeting with another radical Arab leader, President Abdel Aziz Bouteflika of Algeria. “We place great hope in your peace plans,” Bouteflika said during a seven-minute conversation in front of television cameras. “We are willing to help you in your efforts whenever you ask. We support peace.”
Assad apart, Barak is rapidly becoming the Arab world’s flavor of the month. As well as talking to the leaders of Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinians, the ebullient Israeli prime minister clasped hands with Saudi princes, the president of Yemen, representatives of Bahrain, Qatar and other Gulf emirates. Weizman, according to one report, had to be restrained from approaching the Lebanese Hezbollah militia delegation.
But Algeria’s Bouteflika was the prize catch. Algeria, which waged an epic war of independence against French colonialism, remains a potent symbol of the Arab national struggle. Bouteflika himself is a veteran of the FLN liberation movement. “If Bouteflika can talk to Israel,” said Israel Television’s Middle East expert, Ehud Ya’ari, “anyone can.”
Moroccan Jews Mourn Death of King Hassan
The death of Morocco’s King Hassan II made tens of thousands of Israelis mourn for the man they consider “their” king — and homesick for the land their families left.
Young Israelis of Moroccan origin placed the Moroccan flag on top of their cars, while others displayed huge posters in their homes of the late king, who died last Friday of a heart attack at the age of 70.
The Moroccan Jewish community in Israel declared a seven-day period of mourning for the king.
While reaction from Israel’s leadership was perhaps less dramatic, it was just as heartfelt — as a delegation led by Israeli President Ezer Weizman and Prime Minister Ehud Barak joined 30 world leaders, including President Clinton and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, in remembering a man who played a vital role in bridging the gap between the Jewish state and the Arab world.
When it came to the king’s death, the reaction of Israel’s estimated 300,000 Moroccan Jews appeared similar to Morocco’s Arab residents, many of whom consider the king to be a direct descendent of the Muslim prophet Mohammed.
“I know that it may sound ridiculous,” said Haim Shiran, 64, director of Inbal, an ethnic center in Tel Aviv, “but when, on Friday, I saw the Moroccan announcer on television announcing the death of the king, I broke out in tears.”
When King Hassan II took power in 1961 after the death of his father, Mohammed V, he was an unknown quantity with a reputation as a playboy. But ruling with a deft mixture of pro-Western democracy and traditional autocracy, he earned the respect of his people.
