Europe’s shipbuilding industry fears that Asian rivals are set to storm into the passenger and cruise ship sector, which is currently dominated by European yards.
Michael Birley, director of Clarkson shipping brokerage, told a House of Lords sub-committee last week that ship yards in Asia were looking closely at this market.
And he warned that the proposed cut in the 9% EU shipbuilding subsidy from the end of this year could force job losses in the face of growing competition from the Far East.
The Government has estimated it would cost £39m to continue the subsidy until 2000.
Europe holds 85% of the world passenger and cruise shipbuilding market.
Although the UK industry has been declining, it still has turnover of £3.4bn and around 800,000 workers in shipbuilding and related industries.
Birley said Europe had also remained strong in the value-added sector, for roll on/roll off ferries and freight vessels, stainless steel chemical tankers and specialist vessels for the offshore rig industry.
Asian yards, meanwhile, account for 45% of the tanker market, but Asian shipbuilders would not always be content to provide simpler bulk carriers and tankers, he said.
‘Where we do hold a market lead, it is being eaten into the whole time,’ Birley said.
European shipbuilders with value-added expertise may be able to enter joint ventures with Asian firms in the next 5-10 years.
China had doubled its shipping output in the past five years with no new yards and has just opened a greenfield yard in Shanghai’s Pudong development zone.
A strong domestic shipbuilding market in Japan had been hit by the Asian financial crisis, forcing the Japanese to look to expand shipping export markets.
The collapse of South Korea’s currency had also improved the competitiveness of Korean shipping exports.
Birley told the sub-committee that indirect aid would help maintain local workforces and regional economies.
He said Dutch and German shipbuilders already enjoyed tax incentives.

10th May 2003
TRAVELS WITH MY CAMERA /ANU MALHOTRA
A TRYST WITH LIONS
WE ARE welcomed with marigolds and aarti,
as we step off the Royal Orient at Junagad, at the base of the temple-studded Girnar hill. We drive through this small town of mosques, temples and Buddhist monuments, to the place of erstwhile Nawab of Junagad, who after independence, accede to Pakistan.
The presenter, Sharad says to the camera, “The Nawab chartered several Dakota aircrafts, to ferry his family and movable treasures across to Karachi. Interestingly, two planeloads consisted only of dogs – his pedigree pets!” I walk through the Darbar hall museum, with its display of weaponry, silver clocks, huge coloured chandeliers, silver chairs and howdahs.
Everything is in place, exactly as decades ago. The walls even have photos of the last Nawab with his various beloved dogs.
“The most amusing story is about the famous wedding that the Nawab held for his pet. The Nawab, mounted on caparisoned elephants greeted the arrival of the bridegroom by train. The marriage of the two dogs” dressed in brocades and jewels, in the presence of 250 other canines was celebrated with glittering pomp and ceremony.” Laughs Sharad to the camera.
After lunch, we visit the exquisite Mahabat Makbara en route
to the Gir National Park, was once the private hunting reserve of the Nawab of Junagad. In 1901, the Nawab invited the Viceroy, Lord Curzon backed off when criticized in a local newspaper and instead requested the Nawab to protect the Asiatic lions, which were on the verge of extinction. The lion population was around 20 when the Nawab enforced a ban on hunting. Today, there are about 300 lions in the Gir National Park and Lion Sanctuary, covering over 1,000 –sq-kms – the only remaining refuge of this proud and majestic species.
The dry forest shines golden in the sun, surrounded by hilly and rugged slopes. Driving through dusty tracks in the jeep, I am getting really impatient. Three hours and still no sighting. “Where have all the animals disappeared?” We only have the day and I must capture the famous Asiatic lions on film. In desperation, I beg the forest guard, Lalji
, to take us on foot through the jungle, to a stream close-by.
We walk through the jungle, crackling leaves underfoot. Suddenly the guide marks to a pugmark. He knows it is a lioness, which has passed by a couple of hours ago. He tracks the lioness and eagerly follows him through the dense growth. I run down the hill and abruptly the guide stops and clamps my mouth shut with his hand. He points under the tress and there she is- a lioness sitting six feet away! We stand motionless as she looks at us disdainfully and then walks off and sits posing on a hillock. By then the cameraman and Sharad have arrived and I gesture them to get closer for a good shot.
The Asiatic Lion, one of the most endangered large carnivores globally, has a majestic mane and a big tail tuft. These lions move about in prides, comprising of two-three male adults, lionesses and cubs stay with the pride, while the males leave after they are three years old. Lion males often live in pairs that last a lifetime. However, it is the females who go out hunting in packs and bring back prey, which is first devoured by the male and only then by the rest of the pack. In the day time, they live close to the waterholes and rest in the shade and hunt mostly at night.
As we continuing filming our lioness, Lalji
to the right. Two clubs gambol toward the lioness. After a quick shots, we silently retreat, as a lioness with cubs can be highly dangerous and we are not meant to be out vehicles!
Lalji now drives us to the Kamaleshwar dam. En route,
I spot some antelopes and deer. He tells me, “If you’re luck you can see some leopards, panthers, jackals and hyenas.” No such luck, but a few cormorants, egrets, a long tailed paradise flycatcher and kingfishers at the reservoir, make for good shots. I see a bunch of village women walk by with heavy loads of firewood on their head. “They are Maldharis and live within the jungle.” says Lalji. These herders of buffalo and cattle graze their herds extensively in the forest. The lion population often feeds on their livestock, for which Maldharis are compensated by the government.
We now climb onto the watchtower near the Kamaleshwar dam. The view of the scrub forest and the lake at sunset fills me with a sense of wonder. Soon, the howls of the jackals welcome the moon. The water in the lake makes rippling sounds, maybe of a crocodile. Some where the distance, I hear menacing grunts. A lion is on the prowl….

Dr Marie Boyd joined SIPBS from the CRUK Beatson Laboratories in July 2009 as a SULSA Reader in Translational Biology. Dr Boyd was awarded a CRUK Senior Cancer Research Fellowship in 2005 to investigate targeted radionuclide therapy for cancer. Targeted radionuclide therapy utilised radiation like a drug, that is molecules which are accrued specifically in tumours have a radioactive molecule attached, and once the radiopharmaceutical is injected into the body and it gets concentrated only in tumour cells. This results in irradiation specifically to tumour cells sparing normal tissues and thus reduction of toxic side effects. Our research group focuses on expansion of this form of radiotherapy to more tumour types by investigation and development of novel radiopharmaceuticals and targets as well as by adopting gene therapy techniques.
The group also investigates the basic biology of cellular response to radiotherapy and have a large area of research into combining radiotherapy with novel and existing drugs and interrogation of cell signaling and mechanisms using traditional and “Omics” based approaches. The Boyd group have already translated some therapeutic schemes into clinical trial and other promising schemes based upon repurposing of existing drugs, are underway with Industrial partners including AstraZeneca.
Since the transfer to Strathclyde, the group has established several cross-disciplinary links within the TIC themes in areas of advanced Sciences and Technologies, Bionanotechnology, and Health Technologies at Strathclyde. These collaborations are formed around the need to establish multidisciplinary approaches to the development of cancer therapy. Our work fosters the marriage of cancer biology and radiobiology with platform technologies such as Laser Plasma Wakefield Accelerators, microfluidics, biogels and the combinations of novel and existing drugs and nanomaterials in the SU pipeline with chemo- and radiotherapy produced by a variety of radiation sources. The group will also be integral to the new TIC building hosting the SCAPA (Scottish centre for applied particle accelerators) facility. This research environment is a resource which is unique to Strathclyde University.
The Group is highly active within the recently established RICAS (Research In Cancer at Strathclyde) initiative, has been highly successful in achieving multi-disciplinary, Industry and clinical linked funding. The breadth of research has also recently expanded by involvement in the SIPBS led multi-university programme in pharmacoepidemiology. With our partners we are interrogating prescribing databases to interrogate questions which may lead to the development of better and more personalised cancer therapeutics. The group is also involved with several drug discovery programmes within and outwith the university and has developed phenotypic assay cascades to aid these programmes.
Dr Boyd's group is highly active in the research, industrial and clinical arena and the lab hosts senior fellows, Post docs, PhD students, research assistants, undergraduate and students from within SIPBS and from other University Departments (Physics, chemistry, EEE). The Boyd group will also host vertically Integrated Studentships (VIPs) within the lab, which are being run in collaboration with Chemistry and EEE and we are becoming partners in the Laser Plasma Accelerator Doctoral training centre spearheaded by the university.

Dual purpose shotgun that can switch between pump action or semi-auto with a push of a button. It’s intimidating looks have made it a pop culture icon in terms of weapons. This example has the desirable but very uncomfortable folding stock but the dangerous paddle safety. With that safety, there were numerous incidents of the shotgun going off and firing a shell once it was flipped to fire. (GRH)
Ah yes, the SPAS-12. An icon of cinema, what started life as a police shotgun ended up the kingpin of the action movie.
The tale of the SPAS-12 begins all the way back in Italy. Luigi Franchi SpA, commonly just known as Franchi were the maker of a number of sporting shotguns, however in the 1950′s and 1960′s they began to edge into the military and police market. These included the failed attempt at the Italian Army rifle contract, the Franchi LF57 submachinegun, the Franchi RF83 revolver and the SPAS-12.
The SPAS-12′s basic idea was to make a high-end multi purpose police shotgun. This included it being one of the first combination pump and semi automatic shotguns, this was useful as a number of police rounds such as birdshot, tear gas and rubber bullets don’t have the high enough pressure to run reliably on a semi-auto mechanism. It also included large ghost ring sights, extended magazine tubes and your choice of a folder stock or solid plastic stock.
And the SPAS-12 sold fairly well. A number of special forces units, such as EKO Cobra, Malaysian SOF, Turkish Gendarmerie, Irish Army Rangers and a number of police SWAT teams across the world. A total of 37,000 were made between 1979 and 2000. SPAS by the way stands for Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun or Sporting Purpose Automatic Shotgun, in an attempt to save it from the federal ban hammer of the early 1990′s, unfortunately it didn’t and the SPAS-12′s were cut off from importation in 1994.
That doesn’t mean it didn’t have an effect on the media at the time, oh hell no, movies loved the SPAS.
The 1980′s Hollywood movie era was saturated by SPAS-12′s. They’re large size and pretty intimidating look made them a favorite. And while movies never tended to use them in semi-auto, it still became a classic. The T-800 was the first in 1984, then followed by a sea of action flicks, including Jurassic Park, Exterminator 2, The Hitcher, La Femme Nikita, The Wraith, The Matrix, Bad Boys and many more. From the shores of Miami to the megaslums of Detroit, the SPAS-12 is a common sight. And a gun this iconic always needs some video game appearances.
And like the Python, the big break for the SPAS was Half Life.
Yes, the Valve classic is back again in my lists. 1998′s Half Life had a great story and a great arsenal of guns and the SPAS was one of the best. While it had a rather hilarious goof where it could fire two shots at once, it was a very powerful weapon for the confined spaces of Black Mesa and helped the SPAS-12 to become an icon in the video game scene.
With a film history as rich as it is, the sheer amount of video game appearances of the SPAS-12 is staggering. There have been just as many SPAS-12′s digitized in games as ones made from steel. Besides Gordon Freeman, it’s the main shotgun for a number of games. Agent 47 of the Hitman franchise uses it as his primary shotgun, Far Cry 2, 3 and 4 boast a SPAS-12, GTA Vice City and San Andreas boast one, both Battlefield and Call of Duty packed SPAS-12′s either in semi-auto or pump action. It’s big, imposing and ready to tear through whatever stands in it’s way.
And that is the tale of the SPAS-12, one of the most iconic shotguns ever made. What started off as a simple police combat shotgun blossomed into one of the most well known and recognized shotguns ever made. And while Franchi stopped production in 2000, their still an uncommon sight in media and it’ll be shredding bad guys, dinosaurs and zombies for years to come.
Italian made 12 gauge shotgun that can switch between pump-action or semi-auto. No longer in production, it’s believed around 1,800 were imported into the U.S before being banned. Considered a collector’s piece, spare parts are few and far between, hence why most are safe queens. (GRH)
Italian made 12 gauge shotgun that was imported for a short period of time in the U.S. Supposedly there are less than 2,000 of these shotguns on the U.S market, making them fairly collectable but also a little pricey for what some consider an obsolete tactical shotgun. In spite often being portrayed as a pump-action only shotgun, the SPAS-12 can switch to semi-automatic and it is frighteningly fast at cycling. (GRH)
The successor to the infamous SPAS-12, the 15 was shaped more like a rifle than a traditional shotgun. In some ways it could be said the 15 was the precursor to rifle patterned shotguns like the Saiga, Vepr, Origin, Safir, Akdal and others. Like the SPAS-12, the 15 was capable of shooting in semi-auto and pump-action. Very rare and sought after, they tend to run in the $4,000 to $5,000 price range depending on configuration; it was available with a folding stock too. (GRH)
Aside from the links for my Shrike I did get some much-needed replacement parts for my Franchi SPAS-12.
Due to the age of the SPAS, with most being made in the 1980′s, there are two polymer pieces that will corrode and become brittle. On the left-hand side of the picture is the drum swivel which has cracked so I could no longer attach a sling. Those individual pieces are what’s left of the grip plug which is located in the pistol grip.
On the right-hand side is the new replacement grip plug which is an exact copy of the original but with better polymer/plastic. I already installed the replacement drum swivel but instead of polymer, the new one is made of solid steel. It’s a bit more involved to install because you have to drill out the retaining pin rivet for the folding stock. A replacement retaining pin which uses a screw is supplied.
I pretty much thought I would have to buy a secondary SPAS-12 to scavenge spare parts from. I only recently found out that a new website called the SPAS-12 Project is making new parts AND finally offering the service to convert the unsafe paddle safety to the upgraded cross-bolt safety. Franchi no longer offers this service which meant many owners had to rely on an unsafe and dangerous safety mechanism. Keep in mind there is an older website called spas12.com; they are not the same group of people. You have to go to spas-12.com. I think their mascot is Ellie from Jurassic Park. I don’t think Robert Muldoon would have been as cute.
If anyone else owns the SPAS-12, now you have a source for parts and guides on how to maintain your collectible little shotgun. I’m just glad to have mine back to 100%. I just need to send it off for refinishing. I’m half tempted to hard chrome it. (GRH)
12 gauge shotgun with the ability to switch between both modes of operation; pump and semi. One major weakness of the SPAS-12 is the fact it can only chamber 2 ¾", whereas most modern tactical shotguns can use 2 ¾" and 3" shells. (GRH)

KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 24): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s ‘new’ plan to abolish tolls is another repeated election promise that will be broken again, said an Opposition lawmaker.
MP for Petaling Jaya Utara and DAP national publicity secretary Tony Pua in a statement today said that during a forum on Budget 2018 earlier this week, Najib said that tolls should be abolished, adding that wherever possible he would look into unraveling the legacy problems caused by toll concession agreements.
“Malaysians shouldn’t fall the empty promises of the Prime Minister whose track record has proven that he has zero commitment in abolishing these tolls.
“It isn’t the first time Datuk Seri Najib Razak promised to abolish tolls or lower toll rates. In Barisan Nasional’s (BN) manifesto for the 13th General Election, Najib promised the gradual reduction of intracity tolls within 5 years. Yet, 5 years on, not only has this promise failed to be delivered, he delivered the exact opposite,” he said.
Pua added that on October 2015, 18 tolls operated by 11 concessionaires were allowed to increase their fares with some even going up RM2.30 overnight.
He said These included toll routes such as the LDP, SMART Tunnel, MEX, AKLEH and NPE in the Klang Valley as well as the Senai-Desaru Highway in Johor and the Butterworth Outer Ring Road (BORR) in Penang.
Pua pointed out that in response to this, Najib had said the government had no choice but to allow the toll fares to increase because preventing it would require massive compensation payments.
He said The Prime Minister went on to threaten Malaysians that taxes would have to be increased if the government were to abolish tolls.
“The Prime Minister’s threats have proven true because when the government did remove certain tolls, they paid exorbitant compensation equivalent to the amount of toll these concessionaires would have collected anyway!
“The above means, Najib “abolish tolls” or not, the BN government would always profit the concessionaires. Malaysians would either have to pay for the tolls directly, or pay for them via taxes paid to the Government,” said Pua.
He said barring exceptions, the (concession) agreements do not at any point in time require the Government to compensate these concessionaires for future profits.
“Why is the BN Government so adamant in ensuring these toll concessionaires are paid their future profits at the expense of Malaysian tax-payers?” he said.

NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR
The Clarenville Public Library, with funding from Eastern Health, will be renovating its children’s section to be more inclusive to all patrons.
The library was the recent recipient of a $10,000 grant following librarian Tanya Blackmore’s application to the Healthy Communities Partnership Fund.
The funds will go towards renovating the children’s section of the library to better address patrons with special needs, as well as support more programming and staff training aimed at better helping patrons.
“I’m always surprised when I apply for something and actually get it, because you never know who you’re competing against and what kind of really cool projects or beneficial projects are being applied for,” explained Blackmore, who said she received the letter from Eastern Health in July— coincidentally enough, just moments before leading a children’s program.
Blackmore said the funding will be used to create an inclusive space for children with ADHD, autism and sensory processing disorders.
“The idea is to expand the kids area and put in a sensory wall, some new furniture, some mobile shelving for the books, and once we get the space done, then we’ll start on the programming side of it,” she said.
She hopes that the renovations and new programs will mean that more patrons will be able to enjoy the library.
“The idea is that we’re not just building this for the patrons we already have. It’s building it so that others will know that it’s here and that maybe they’ll start to come and use it,” she said.
“There’s always an opportunity to learn more, and to grow. There’s always opportunity to offer more inclusive opportunities for everyone. As a community, and as a society, we need to be looking for ways to include everyone in every aspect of our day-to-day lives.”- Treshana Gosse
Blackmore said her desire is that the space is somewhere all children can learn a little more about each other.
“You get all children in there playing, and using the space for whatever programming, or picking out books, and they get used to each other,” she said. “So everybody gets a feel for the other people in the community.”
The library has partnered with the Autism Society to help with the renovations, programming and staff training.
“Tanya thought that there was more the library could do in terms of providing inclusion and inclusive activities for library goers, and floated the idea by us,” said Treshana Gosse, regional assistant manager at the Austim Society’s Eastern Regional Office in Clarenville. “We thought it was a great idea and agreed to support her in any way.
“I think that space at the library will turn into a place that is comfortable for any person with a disability.”
Gosse added, “There’s always an opportunity to learn more, and to grow. There’s always opportunity to offer more inclusive opportunities for everyone. As a community, and as a society, we need to be looking for ways to include everyone in every aspect of our day-to-day lives. So I think this is one step forward for sure.”
Blackmore hopes to start renovations this September and would like to have everything in place by next summer.

Housing secretary Michael Gove has insisted that Section 21 evictions will be “outlawed” in England by the next general election.
The Conservative party‘s 2019 manifesto pledged to end the right of landlords to evict tenants without needing a reason in 2019.
However, the legislation has been continuously delayed, leading housing campaigners to question the government’s commitment.
But the government has previously said a ban cannot be enacted until the court system is improved – a position supported by the National Residential Landlords Association.
In October last year, MPs started debating the Renters (Reform) Bill, which includes a ban on Section 21 evictions in England, but the legislation has not yet completed its passage through Parliament.
Asked if he could guarantee the practice would end by the time of the next general election, which must take place by the end of January 2025, Gove told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme yesterday: “We will have outlawed it and we will have put the money into the courts in order to ensure that they can enforce that.”
Gove’s legislation has faced significant opposition from within his own party, as almost one in five Conservative MPs are also landlords. It is worth noting that there are a plethora of landlords across other political parties, including Labour.
Late last year, a series of Conservative MPs voiced their opposition to the Renters Reform Bill, saying it would add “to the burden of landlords”.
In the Commons, Conservative former minister Sir Edward Leigh told MPs: “Banning no-fault evictions will make the rental market even more stagnant and will lead to a further drying up of it.”
He added: “And apart from adding to the burden of landlords, we don’t want a situation that happened in Ireland, where the regulatory burdens on landlords is such that the rental sector has shrunk massively and governments have paid the price in terms of popularity.”
Conservative MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown also said the bill would have a “disastrous effect” on areas including his constituency “in reducing the number of rental properties, and therefore increasing the price of rent, and for youngsters this is really serious”.
The housing secretary also said he is doing everything he can “short of laying siege” to the chancellor’s home to persuade him to put more money into housing in the spring Budget.
Responding to Gove’s comments yesterday, Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner, who is also the party’s shadow housing secretary, said: “These are yet more weasel words from Michael Gove after years of broken promises.”
She added: “Having broken the justice system, the Tories are now using their own failure to indefinitely delay keeping their promises to renters in the most underhand way.”
Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper commented: “It is shocking that this Conservative government has repeatedly chosen to delay their promised ban on no-fault evictions.
“Michael Gove’s words will ring hollow for those who have waited for so long for this urgently needed reform.”
She added: “This government has turned a blind eye to the housing crisis in this country, 16 housing ministers later, people are still facing the same problems.
“Renters shouldn’t have to face losing their homes through no fault of their own any longer. Rishi Sunak and Michael Gove must stick to their promise before more and more families get caught up in these devastating consequences.”

Original review: Underdog Reviews
A show in the spectacular superlative: comedy touched with melancholic charm
Clowning belongs in the circus: beneath the big top, behind a big, red nose and between comics, not accomplished actors… yet Slava Polunin and his Snow Show are unequivocally proving that clowns really belong on the bright lights and beauty of the stage in his breath-taking blizzard of a performance.
Slava’s Snow Show is a show in the spectacular superlative: the brightest lights, the boldest ambition, and the biggest, ahem, bouncing balls. And yet, from the most outlandish and loudest laughs come the quietest moments of comedy touched with melancholic charm. Late in Act II, Slava slips his hand into a hanging coat sleeve and caresses his own cheek in a scene that quiets the laughter and captures the imagination and the empathy of an audience immersed in the magic. There is no story as such, but a thread of longing and loneliness weaves the show together and uses laughs to fill any spaces. The scenes land somewhere between a skit and a lament, a skilful balancing of the spectacular and the silently stirring, and to accomplish it all only with mime and some well-known music – from the ambient ‘La petite fille de la mer’ to the magnificent ‘O Fortuna’ finale – is an immense theatrical achievement.
Slava himself is a master of movement, each placement and expression measured and meticulous and inexplicably effortless. From his face to his fingertips to his fluffy-looking feet, Slava’s performance emanates with ease, and although a forlorn-looking fellow, it feels like he holds out the hand of friendship to the whole theatre, and whether young or old, you reach for it readily and willingly. The mastermind behind the whole creation, Slava makes the most of any moment, from the most impressive to the improvised. When a cough interrupts his slow shuffling offstage, he turns around to fix the culprit with a frown, and a well-timed, imaginary watch-check follows a couple who leave their front row seats early – and if they didn’t return, it’s their loss, as the snow-filled finale is a moment of theatrical magic not to be missed.
A clowning chorus in green frock coats, ski-length shoes and horizontal hats that compel them to tilt their heads just to pass each other follow in Slava’s footsteps – at times, quite literally – and are the mischief-makers to his theatrical architect. And, after all the fun is over, you’ll leave not only with a handful of snow but a heart full of warmth, too.


THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: 1959
Socred Premier W.A.C. Bennett created a ‘bond fire’ to burn up province’s debt.
B.C.’s first Social Credit government was sworn in on Aug. 1, 1952. Socred Premier W.A.C. Bennett liked to celebrate the anniversary by holding a big garden party at his home in Kelowna. On Aug. 1, 1959, he upped the ante by staging one of the most flamboyant stunts in B.C. history: The burning of the bonds. Bennett claimed that through his astute financial management, the Socreds had eliminated the $70-million provincial debt. Cynics in the media pointed out that the province still appeared to have $98 million in debt, plus another $500 million in debt from government agencies. But Bennett insisted the debt was paid, and to prove it, he was going to shoot a flaming arrow into a pile of paid-off bonds on a raft in Okanagan Lake. “The flaming arrow sets fire to a pile of wood, paper, rubber tires and other inflammables and — POOF — British Columbia’s net debt goes up in smoke,” wrote The Sun’s Paul St. Pierre. “Just like that.” The “bond-fire” was scheduled for 9:27 p.m., which was the exact time the Socreds had been sworn in back in 1952. But it was preceded by all sorts of festivities. St. Pierre said it was “the biggest thing since the cremation of Sam Magee,” a reference to a poem by Robert Service. And he adopted the clipped style of Service to describe the proceedings. “Fireworks, speeches, bands, speeches, balloons, water show, parades, speeches, dinner, birthday cake, speeches, free passes on all the bridges,” related St. Pierre. “Happy Birthday Dear Social Credit, Happy Birthday to You.” The Socred cabinet did, in fact, play Happy Birthday Dear Social Credit at a civic reception in Kelowna, on toy instruments. Education minister Les Peterson and provincial secretary Wes Black played a toy drum, health minister Eric Martin played mouth organ, highways minister “Flying” Phil Gagliardi played accordion, attorney-general Robert Bonner played trumpet, and Socred League president Noel Murphy played xylophone. Premier Bennett was out front, playing a violin. This probably wasn’t a reference to a Province cartoon that had portrayed Bennett as the Roman emperor Nero, playing fiddle while the masses danced around the burning bonds. The Sun’s Len Norris had drawn his own cartoon featuring Bennett as a tornado twirling out of the burning bond boat. He was labelled “The Twister.” The annual garden party went off as usual in the afternoon at the Bennett home on Ethyl Street. “Only tea to drink,” wrote St. Pierre. “Premier’s lips never touch glass containing alcohol.” Meanwhile, Kelowna city workers were loading 64 bundles of voided bonds onto the raft, which was made of logs lashed together with cable. At 5:30 p.m. the cabinet came by to be photographed loading the bonds themselves. “Labour minister Lyle Wicks in wet bathing suit,” noted St. Pierre. The cabinet then jumped into cars for a parade, which was followed by an aquatic show at Kelowna’s City Park. “One of the four events was a race in which four boys repre- sented the leaders — CCF leader Bob Strachan, Conservative Deane Finlayson, Liberal Ray Perrault and Premier Bennett,” Ben Metcalfe reported in The Province. “The boy premier won, because he was towed through the water by a hidden rope.” At darkness fell, Bennett boarded a launch with his cabinet and sped out to the raft, which was about 100 metres off shore. He picked up the bow, affixed an arrow, somebody lit it and he let it fly into the night. Alas, he missed, even though he was less than five metres away. “Flaming arrow hits logs, flies into air, falls into water,” said St. Pierre. “Makes sound like ‘fip’.” But the government had prepared for a malfunction by discreetly stationing a Mountie at the back of the raft. “Mountie on raft lights fuse,” wrote St. Pierre. “Retires swiftly. Just like it says on Chinese firecrackers.” The bonds went up in flames, and the crowd cheered. “As a new form of state theatre, it was something less than a success,” said Metcalfe in The Province. “But the cancelled $70,000,000 bond certificates were certainly burned.”


Remember that mysterious GeForce GTX 480M we encountered in a Eurocom laptop configuration page three weeks ago? Nvidia has now made things official. As Engadget reports, the GeForce GTX 480M—Nvidia's very first mobile DirectX 11 product—will be out in the middle of June.
The 480M will feature 352 stream processors, a 425MHz core clock speed, an 850MHz shader speed, and up to 2GB of 1,200MHz GDDR5 RAM pushing data through a 256-bit memory interface. Nvidia's product page for the mobile GPU quotes 897 gigaFLOPS of floating-point number-crunching power, a 42 Gtexels/s fill rate, and 76.8 GB/s of memory bandwidth. That's down from 1.35 teraFLOPS, 42 Gtexels/s, and 177.4GB/s for the desktop GeForce GTX 480.
Nvidia tells us the GTX 480M is based on the same GF100 silicon as the desktop GeForce GTX 480, but "customized to fit into the notebook thermal budget." That must be some serious customization. The desktop GeForce GTX 480 has a formidable 250W power envelope, and the already trimmed-down GTX 470 has a 215W rating. According to that Eurocom listing, however, the GTX 480M only draws up to 100W.

Meet at Grain on the Rocks for Their Signature Brews and Talented Musicians: Retired and looking for something new to try? In our ‘Things to Do in Delaware” series, we pass on great activities to bulk up your (growing) treasure chest of local options.
Right next to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry terminal is a trendy and popular hangout spot for travelers and locals alike. Grain on the Rocks boasts waterfront views and a deck for outdoor seating, while inside, its comfy and modern decor creates an atmosphere perfect for joining with friends. High tops, booths and tables – take your pick.
The flagship Grain was established in Newark 2015 by the O’Donoghue and Mickles families, and has quickly grown into a presence in Delaware with four locations and a new café serving their own signature coffee. Grain on the Rocks is a nod to the ferry terminal surroundings – massive boulders separating the Delaware Bay from the decks and walkways between the terminal and the restaurant.
Traveling by boat or were out fishing all day and need to unwind? Pull up to the docks and stay a while, or rent a boat for the day joining Freedom Boat Club, which has a dock right in front of Grain!
Outside on the generously sized waterfront deck, diners can rest assured that dogs are welcome, just as they are on the ferry!
Catching the morning ferry to Cape May? Visit Lewes Coffee Company to kickstart your trip. This little coffee shop inside and adjacent to the restaurant serves its own signature blends of java and a variety of smoothies. They use ethically farmed Brazilian coffee beans and roast them locally in small batches. The distinct flavor will impress, so why not take a bag of whole or ground beans home as well for yourself or as a gift to someone special?
Grain on the Rocks merchandise is also sold in the coffee shop. Tee shirts sell like hotcakes, according to coffee shop manager Diane.
Grain’s success is rooted in Delaware pride. While contemplating what to name the first restaurant, O’Donoghue and Mickles chanced upon Oliver Evans, a charismatic 18th century inventor from Delaware who invented the first patented automated flour mill, which revolutionized mills henceforth, and was even adopted by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson on their own properties.
Today, Grain on the Rocks offers an enormous menu of beer choices, many which are brewed right here in Delaware: Dogfish Head, Big Oyster, etc.
Committed to local philanthropy, Grain generously hosts several fundraisers for local nonprofits and other benefit events. Whether it’s giving 20 per cent of revenue to the organization on a given day (their “Fork Support” program), or hosting celebrity bartender nights, Grain embraces the concept of benefitting Delaware’s charitable causes.
Their parent company, coined OMG Hospitality (which stands for O’Donoghue, Mickles = Great Times) itself is committed to Delaware causes, particularly supporting local first responders and the annual Buddy Walk, a fundraiser for persons with Down Syndrome.
And live music? There’s plenty of that at Grain on the Rocks. Now entering its third year, Grain presents Rockin’ the Docks, an outdoor concert series in the summer, complete with a large stage and full food and beverage service – without leaving your seats! Come watch the sun set over the bay and enjoy the arrival and departure of the ferry boats while listening to the diverse talent they present. There’s no better venue around that offers all of this.
Grain on the Rocks also features indoor live music during the cooler months in its restaurant area.
Weddings, private parties and catering are also on the menu of Grain in Lewes. Imagine renting the entire field they own – bayside with spectacular views – with plenty of FREE parking for your guests in the terminal’s lot, a rarity anywhere near the beaches!
Bring your pooch, your love of coffee, your musical ear and your appetite to Grain on the Rocks. A great option for enjoying great food, music and atmostphere in Delaware. Open for brunch, lunch and dinner, it’s a great way to spend a few hours sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away. Otis Redding would agree.


Following up on my previous post, Law Schools Are in a Death Spiral: Forbes: Which Top Law School Will Close? Follow The Money, by Dorothy A. Brown (Senior Advisor to the Provost and Tax Professor, Emory):
This has been a bad couple of weeks for law schools. Last Tuesday, Thomas Jefferson Law School won the dubious distinction of being the first law school to go to trial to defend its employment statistics. Last Wednesday we found out that the dean of the University of California at Berkeley Law School was being sued by his Executive Administrative Assistant for sexual harassment and has since resigned. Yesterday, the 2017 US News and World Report ranking for law schools was officially published. That brought more bad news: Duke is no longer top 10, and Emory and Minnesota have been bumped out of the top 20.
Last March I predicted that within three years a top law school will close and primarily focused on the failings of law schools which will lead to such action. However when we talk about closing a law school, it will be central administrators who will make that vastly unpopular but necessary call. What would a top law school have to do in order to entice University administrators to decide to shut it down? I say University administrators, because all of the top 25 law schools are part of major universities.
Primarily, the law school would have to be hemorrhaging a lot of money over a sustained period of time with no end in sight. Not just a one-time deficit, but millions of dollars in deficits over a sustained period. ... What we do know is every top 20 law school but three (Stanford, Penn, and Washington University at St. Louis) is facing a shrinking applicant pool. Yale applications are down by 13%, Harvard by 18%, Columbia by almost 25%, and Chicago by almost 20%. Fewer applicants lead to smaller entering classes with the median loss of 5%. All but two (Duke and Berkeley) had decreases in their first-year enrollment. One outlier on both measures deserving of additional scrutiny is Minnesota’s Law School. Between 2011 and 2015, Minnesota had the largest application decline of any top 20 ranked law school—at 50%. Minnesota also had the largest entering class decline—approaching 30%.
Last year the University of Minnesota Law School was tied for 20th place according to US News & World Report rankings. This year they have fallen and are in a three-way tie for 22nd place with Emory and Notre Dame. ...
Given Minnesota Law’s 50% fewer applications, it was faced with a choice: shrink class size by keeping applicant quality high (as measured by US News to mean GPA and LSAT) or maintain or even grow class size, while lowering applicant quality. The former strategy is likely to generate a deficit, due to the loss in tuition dollars from the smaller class size. The latter strategy is destined to lower Minnesota’s US News ranking because it will admit students with lower than normal GPA and LSAT scores. With the support of Minnesota President Eric Kaler, Dean David Wippman chose the former strategy.
Dean Wippman explained his strategy to cut class enrollment: “We made a conscious decision in order to maintain the caliber of the student body, the quality of education, and frankly to keep our ranking high.” That strategy led to smaller entering classes. For the Fall of 2014, Minnesota reported enrolling 180 students instead of the 220 students they had in 2013. Given that Minnesota’s ranking fell two points, you might say the strategy was ineffective. But that the 2 point drop could have been much worse. So even if Minnesota can say we are doing relatively well, the question remains at what cost?
Minnesota’s strategic decision resulted in large deficits. The extent of which recently came to light. Between 2012 and 2015, President Kaler put his money where his mouth was to the tune of $12.45 million dollars in transfers to the Law School to cover their operating losses. Between 2016 and 2018, Dean Wippman projects needing an additional $3.683 million. Then he says by 2019, he should need no additional funds. Funny thing is, in December 2015, Dean Wippman was appointed President of Hamilton College in New York. He won’t be around if his projections don’t come true.
Seventeen percent of Minnesota’s budget comes from state support—do the taxpayers know what’s going on? How can Minnesota justify spending $16 million of taxpayer supported University funds for a law school that reaches fewer and fewer first-year law students? More importantly, what about the current top 20 law schools (or those just outside)? Minnesota has pursued a strategy similar to other top law schools: Berkeley, Cornell, UCLA, and USC have first-year enrollment declines approaching 30% with Virginia’s approaching 40%. How are their finances? We don’t know.
I’m doubling down. In 2 to 4 years, a University administration will shut down a top law school and we may never see it coming.

Repairs. Necessary for this paint
During the repair there is such a question, which paint to use for this? And no wonder, now it is released in such an amount that you cannot choose it right away. Paint the walls can be applied paint, which differs in its chemical composition. Therefore, for a start, it is worth deciding where you will be engaged in painting the walls, and then you can decide on the choice for this paint.
Types of colorful products
When choosing a paint and its colors, how to proceed and what colors are suitable for a particular room, it is very important to get an expert opinion. Designer apartment renovation differs from the usual, because the designer decides the apartment after repair, offers several options and agrees with by the owner. With this approach to repair, many factors should be taken into account, one of which is the choice of finishing materials, now we are talking about painting and the types of paint that are used.Water based paints.The solvent in these paints is water. Objects painted with these paints dry quickly and have no odors at all. As a binder material in these colors are polymers. These paints are made on the basis of acrylic resins, as well as latex. The cheapest paints of this type are made on the basis of PVA. These paints are great for painting in rooms where the air humidity is low, that is, in dry rooms. The painted surface does not absorb dust at all. Such paint is easily removed from the painted object, if necessary. Acrylic inks, as well as latex inks, are highly resistant to abrasion. When drying acrylic latex paints, a thin film appears that can protect any surface. Silicone paints are made on the basis of emulsified silicone resins. Such products belong to the new generation of coloring products. This paint can be used for exterior work, it is not afraid of water and has excellent vapor permeability. Oil paints.This type of coloring products uses linseed oil, plus special pigments that dissolve in it. This paint can serve for many years, it has great strength, and can be used for all types of premises, both outside and inside them. The lack of such paint is the selection of an unpleasant and pungent smell. Therefore, its use in residential areas is not desirable. Alkyd enamel. Alkyd resin is used as a link here. This enamel dries not by evaporation of the solvent, but by oxidizing it when interacting with air streams. This product has an unpleasant smell, and it is not recommended to use it in apartments and houses. But due to the fact that this paint forms a stable film after painting, it can be successfully used for outdoor work.

20 November, 2023 Hotel Attacks
On 7 October, over 1,500 gunmen (some sources estimate 3,000) from the terror group Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) attacked more than 20 towns and a handful of security posts in Israel. Hamas was aided and abetted by Iran, say multiple intelligence agencies. At the same time, Hamas showered Israel with thousands of rockets. Reuters cites Israeli sources that says the attackers slaughtered, in heinous, serial killer-like fashion, over 1,300 civilians and scores of security personnel. It was the largest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust.
The attackers moreover kidnapped more than 200 people, absconding with them into Gaza, where they are being held hostage and/or being gradually executed. Over 100 have been released.
Hamas says its attack was in self-defense for being occupied and oppressed by Israel. Additionally, Hamas’ government charter calls for the eradication of all Jews worldwide and the destruction of the state of Israel. It is also an Islamist jihadist charter, which is the same ideology of al Qaeda, ISIS, and other like groups. There is speculation the attack was motivated by a looming Israel-Saudi Arabia diplomatic breakthrough that was capitalizing on the historic Abraham Accords.
Senior Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad announced they would continue to attack Israel using 7 October tactics over and over again, reports The Times of Israel. Hamad also said every act of violence Hamas carries out is completely justified.
As if to drive Hamad’s point home, on 15 November, Israeli police shot dead three gunmen in a car who pulled up to a security checkpoint and opened fire, says The Telegraph. The gunmen wounded six Israeli security personnel before being dispatched. The culprits so far have been identified as Hamas operatives coming from the West Bank.
Arab News says Chairman of Hamas’ Political Bureau, Khaled Mashal, told the press their 7 October attack on Israel was “ingenious,” that they were “aware of the ramifications” of the onslaught (Israel’s retaliation), but that it was necessary to sacrifice Gazan civilians to achieve “liberation.”
Israel retaliated. It vowed to destroy Hamas’ network in Gaza and staged air and artillery attacks against specific Hamas targets. It then launched a ground invasion of Gaza on 28 October.
Also, since 7 October, Lebanon-based Hezbollah, pro-Hamas forces in the West Bank, and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen all launched attacks against Israel (or on Israeli assets in the case of the West Bank).
Adding to the fracas, Iranian surrogate organizations have attacked over 70 US military targets in the region (mostly Iraq and Syria) with either rockets, missiles, or drones. Scores of US service personnel have been wounded. As a result, the US moved military forces into the area to help defend its bases and Israel. US assets have since destroyed a handful of Iranian surrogate targets.
Internationally, Hamas has expertly co-opted the Palestinian human rights movement as its chief ally, casting itself as a victim of colonization, apartheid, and brutal oppression. Hamas has further rallied international Marxists, global Jew and Israel-haters, Islamist jihadists, and a wide array of left-wing extremists, including radical members of the LGBT community, Black Lives Matter, various student groups at Ivey League universities and others, and members of the US Democratic Party, including legislators. Local and federal government personnel in the US have also been accused of supporting Hamas, including an employee of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), says the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail also says a United Airlines pilot was accused of the same and removed from his job.
This pro-Hamas/pro-Palestinian united front has staged multiple protests all over the world, including in the UK, the US, Germany, France, Nigeria, and Australia, to name a few.
Some of these protests have included calls for violence, citing global intifada, plus the eradication of Jews and the state of Israel. Beatings and harassment of Jews have occurred as well, along with street clashes with police.
The anger of some of these rallies intensified when Israel invaded Gaza, which has resulted in thousands of both Hamas fighters and civilians killed, so says Hamas and various press sources inside Gaza. While civilian casualties are occurring, confirmation of the exact numbers is needed, especially in the wake of Hamas’ hospital bombing hoax.
Israel says collateral damage is impossible to avoid since Hamas has embedded its military assets throughout Gaza’s civilian population, effectively using them as cover and concealment (camouflage and human shields).
The situation is fluid and highly volatile.
Several US agencies recently detected increased threats against Jews, Israel, and its supporters, including the US and its citizenry. This prompted domestic and international threat warnings from the US Department of State, the DHS, and the FBI.
The DHS said, “We have seen an increase in reports of threats against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities and institutions. Lone offenders, motivated by a range of violent ideologies, pose the most likely threat.”
The FBI, in press releases and Congressional testimony, said the threat, which had reached “historic levels,” came from organized groups such as, but not restricted to, al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, and Hezbollah, plus lone actors that are inspired by, and/or encouraged by, Islamist jihadism and antisemitism. FBI Director Wray said while all Americans, including Muslims, were in peril, Jews remained the main target so far. He told Congress that while Jews made up 2.4 % of the US population, they accounted for “60 percent of all religious-based hate crimes, and so they need our help,” said The Hill.
Fox News says on 5 November in Thousand Oaks, CA, a pro-Hamas/pro-Palestinian protester was charged with manslaughter and could be facing hate crime charges after he smashed a Jewish man with a megaphone, causing him to fall and hit the street. The fall resulted in additional head injuries that killed him.
Jewish students and teachers have reportedly been assaulted and/or threatened with murder on campuses at Ohio State, Columbia (NYC), Cornell (NYC), and Amherst, just to name four. Four hundred students mob harassed a teacher at Hillcrest High School in Queens, NYC, after they discovered she had been to a pro-Israel rally. There have been scores of other such threats/attacks at universities all over the US.
The AP reports that on 25 November in Burlington, Vermont, a lone gunman shot and wounded three Palestinians who were walking down the street. They were wearing Palestinian keffiyeh scarves at the time. The perpetrator pleaded not guilty and might be charged with a hate crime.
Internationally, terror plots against Jews have already blossomed. Reuters reported on 8 November that Brazilian authorities, aided by Israel’s Mossad, foiled a Hezbollah terror plot to murder Jews in the city of Sao Paulo and the states of Brasilia and Minas Gerais.
The totality of this violence has impacted hotels, as demonstrated below. Muir Analytics expects these hotel violence trends to continue, and more damaging attacks are certainly possible.
On 11 October, The Global Herald says the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) targeted multiple Hamas assets in Gaza via airstrikes, which resulted in at least one massive explosion outside the Roots Hotel. According to video analysis, the hotel did not appear to have suffered damage.
On 10-12 October, Yahoo News reports the Israeli Air Force (IAF) struck Hamas targets just outside the Ayan Hotel where Gazans had sought refuge. The 10 October blast appears to have occurred approximately 200 meters southwest of the hotel in-between several high-rise buildings. It caused no damage to the hotel.
The 12 October blasts – audio/video analysis suggests four – happened in the same area but about 100 meters from the hotel. These explosions reverberated throughout the property, shattered front lobby glass doors, and caused damage to ceiling panels in the hotel’s valet entrance.
On or before 22 October, video on social media shows that the IDF appears to have fired ordnance at the Commodore Hotel Gaza, reportedly owned by Abdelaziz al-Khaldi, a Hamas financier. Imagery analysis indicates there was an explosion inside the hotel that blew out multiple windows. Copious scorching demonstrates a fire burned out the inside of the property.
The Financial Times reports that on or about 28 October, Israeli Ground Forces (IGF) forces took over a beachfront hotel in north Gaza, al Tanani Chalet. Video of the aftermath of the takeover from The Times and The Sunday Times shows IGF troops waving the Israeli flag on top of the hotel that appears to have been pockmarked by combat, indicating Hamas used the building as a defensive position. This assault was part of the IDF’s initial penetration into northern Gaza.
On the evening of 10 October, NDTV says a Hamas rocket hit the parking lot of the Regina Goren Hotel in Ashkelon. Video of the attack shows first responders putting out fires that had engulfed several cars. It also shows a damaged lobby, broken railings, shattered glass panels, and smoke inundating the hotel. Guests left for safer locations. Ashkelon was one of Hamas’ key targets on 7 October and was subject to multiple rocket attacks, most of which were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system.
Also, on 10 October, The Limited Times says as the 7 October attack was being mopped up, there was a bizarre shooting at the Leonardo Hotel in Ashod, where Hamas was initially suspected as the culprit. The press later hinted that it might have been a non-terrorist, “friendly fire” incident. No details have been released on the shooting, but video posted on social media shows hotel guests peering down at the street below, listening to what sounds like a staccato of gunfire. Another video shows five males under arrest being marched into a police vehicle. Two people were reported wounded.
On 27 October, a social media post by India TV News reporter Amit Palit said a Hamas rocket hit an apartment building near his hotel. The rocket explosion set the apartment on fire. Palit said if it was not for the Iron Dome system, because of the thousands of rockets being fired by Hamas, destruction in Israel would be massive.
Thousands of Israeli war refugees have taken refuge in hotels in parts of Israel far from Gaza, says the Jerusalem Post. Many of these people had their homes destroyed and relatives murdered by Hamas. A few of the hotels that have taken on refugees include, but are not limited to, the Ramada by Wyndham Jerusalem Hotels, the Leonardo Plaza Hotel Jerusalem (in Ein Bokek, Dead Sea southern basin, and part of the Fattal chain), Ein Gedi Kibbutz Hotel (in Ein Gedi, on the Dead Sea). Hotels in Eilat, a Red Sea resort city, have taken in at least 60,000 war refugees.
On 3 November, social media said the IDF discovered what appeared to be an explosive device of some kind in the ocean off the beach in front of the Leonardo Hotel Haifa (formerly the Meridien Hotel and referred to as such in the press). There was video of the object being destroyed by an explosive charge planted by IDF ordnance disposal, which sent a geyser of water soaring upwards over 100 feet. The Jerusalem Post later indicated it was Hamas rocket debris, presumably from an intercepted or faulty launch.
The Diplomat and Catalan News report that on mid-day on 21 October, 90-100 pro-Hamas/pro-Palestine protesters massed at Hotel Cortes in Barcelona, taunting the hotel and those in it with pro-Hamas/anti-Israel genocide slogans. They climbed the outside of the hotel, ripped down the hotel’s flags – those of the EU, the UK, Germany, and Italy – and replaced them with a Palestinian flag. They also penetrated and occupied the hotel’s lobby for an hour. The protesters targeted the hotel because it is owned by the Israeli investment group, Nitsba.
Hours after the hotel harassment, says Catalan News, 19,000 pro-Hamas/pro-Palestine protesters – this number according to the police – gathered on main streets near the hotel and staged a “free Palestine” march.
As an aside, some social media posted video of protesters clashing with Spanish police, saying it was part of the hotel protest, but it was not. It was a protest from years prior.
On 2 November, pro-Hamas/pro-Palestine protesters stormed into and occupied the Clarence Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, says Anti Imperialist Action Ireland (AIAI). AIAI is a radical socialist and anti-Israel group dedicated to what it says is “Palestine resistance.” AIAI targeted the Clarence Hotel because the owners, the Dean Hotel Group, purchased it from U2 rock group frontman Bono and guitarist The Edge via a loan from Israel’s largest bank, Bank Leumi. Photos of the action show 11 protesters, faces covered, holding placards and flags, outside the hotel, blocking the entrance. They also stormed the lobby, but for how long is not known.
The BBC reports that on the evening of 28 October (some sources say 29 October), a crowd of more than 100 men gathered outside the Flamingo Hotel in Khasavyurt, Dagestan, a republic of Russia, hunting Jews that were rumored to have arrived in country seeking respite from Hamas’ attacks on Israel.
The crowd, which was organized via the Telegram app, threw stones at the hotel’s windows and placed a sign on the hotel asserting, “Entrance strictly forbidden to citizens of Israel… (Jews).” A social media post said the crowd shouted to the alleged Jews inside, “Show your face, or we will come into the hotel and pull you out of there!” Eventually, the police arrived and convinced the crowd there were no Jews on the property. They allowed the mob’s leadership to enter the hotel and go door to door inspecting guests’ citizenship documents. The crowd eventually disbanded.
Social media says that a similar hunt for Jews happened the same day at the “Kiev hotel” in Khasavyurt, presumably, the Hotel Kiev, but no other information was available on this alleged incident.
It is noteworthy to state that, following the Flamingo Hotel incident, The Guardian says a mob of several hundred Dagestani men stormed the Makhachkala airport on the evening of 30 October, hunting for Jews that were rumored to have been sent to Russia seeking shelter from Hamas’ war. The mob shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” (God is great!) and announced they were there to stab and shoot Jews. They penetrated and occupied every part of the airport, including the runway and adjoining roads. Twenty people were injured.
On 28 October (other sources say 30 and 31 October), T-Online and social media said that approximately 500 pro-Hamas/pro-Palestine protesters, all males, battled police in Hamburg, Germany, directly in front of Hotel Niu Fusion (aka, the Novum Style Hotel Hamburg-Centrum). Five other hotels within 50-150 meters of the Niu Fusion witnessed the street chaos. They were:
Reuters reports that Germany outlawed the group that helped organize the Hamburg protest, Samidoun, because it promotes Islamist jihadist and anti-Jewish propaganda. Berlin sees these groups and the Nazi party – which is also banned – as the same.
Protesters hurled bottles and stones at police and made violent threats. Video on social media shows the crowd shouting “Allahu Akbar!” and other slogans, exercising the one-finger salute (adopted by ISIS), brandishing protest signs, and waving several Taliban and Jabhat al-Nusra flags (the latter generally referred to as al Qaeda in Syria). German police fought back using physical force and an irritant crowd control spray.
Hotels indirectly impacted by such violence cannot operate soundly, their revenues and reputations can suffer, and the threat of hotel damage and/or angry mob penetration is always possible.
The Associated Press (AP) says on 20 October, there were both civil complaints and threats of violence against two US hotels that were supposed to host pro-Hamas/pro-Palestinian conferences. The first was the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Crystal City, Virginia. It was going to host the annual meeting of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The AP says CAIR announced it was canceling its annual meeting agenda and replacing it with a Gaza-support rally. The AP says the hotel then received thousands of protest calls, some of which said they were going to throw Molotov cocktails at the hotel or plant bombs in its garage. The Marriott Crystal Gateway then canceled CAIR’s conference.
The second was the Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria. It canceled an event by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights for undisclosed security concerns. Like the Marriott Crystal Gateway, the Hilton Houston received scores of complaints, but it was unclear if there were threats of violence. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on Twitter/X that he agreed with the Hilton Houston’s decision. He said Texas had no tolerance for Hamas supporters and their hatred for Jews.
There are nine takeaways. First, as many of the aforementioned cases demonstrate, terrorists and politically violent protesters frequently see hotels as viable and attractive targets. In other cases, such as Hamburg, hotels just happen to be caught up in the politically violent chaos. In any case, these broad trends are expected to continue on a global scale regarding the fallout from the Hamas-Israel war.
Second, Hamas can be expected to continue its attacks on Israel, and some of these operations are likely to impact hotels.
Third, because Hamas has embedded itself in and amongst Gaza’s civilian population, and because its politico-military system uses hotels, Israel can be expected to continue targeting Hamas-linked hotels in Gaza and possibly the West Bank and Lebanon.
Fourth, to garner more international support and to increase its civilian casualties – this latter strategy expressed by Hamas’ top leadership – tricking Israel into attacking a hotel packed with human shields is a real possibility.
Fifth, because the war has expanded to include surrounding countries via regional missile strikes, etc., it is possible that hotels in these locations will suffer violence. This includes, but is not limited to, Lebanon, the West Bank, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria. If the conflict expands even more, hotels in Jordan, Egypt, and GCC countries might come under threat.
Sixth, internationally, Hamas’ highly effective protest-riot network will continue to apply political violence. As demonstrated above, this will happen at hotels with both strong and vague connections to Jews and Israel.
Seventh, the poignant US government threat warnings about Hamas and its supporters carrying out attacks in the US and internationally definitely include hotels.
Eighth, the large, diverse hodgepodge of Hamas supporters, many camouflaged as Palestinian human rights supporters, indicates that anti-Jewish/anti-Israel violence could come from a wide array of personnel, and it could happen in nearly any place. This complicates narrowing down precise threat warnings and indicators, which then taxes security preparedness, especially at hotels.
Ninth, anti-Hamas/anti-Palestinian violence at hotels is also possible, as suggested by threats against CAIR and the shooting of Palestinians in Vermont.
