The Red Nation Podcast: Palestine Will Be Free, Now More Than Ever w/ Frances Hasso.

“Marking the 76th year since the Nakba (Catastrophe), Nick Estes speaks to Frances Hasso about the history of the term, how Zionist settler colonial violence preceded and continued after the ethnic cleansing war of 1948, and how the Gaza genocide signals how close the liberation of Palestine really is.

Check out Frances' website for her lecture from April 2024, “Academic Feminisms and Anti-Imperialist Resistance: Conundrums and Contradictions.”

Aw, there they are! And here's Sterne's bio in text - there's a lot more information than I was able to find!

Richard L Sterne made his acting debut on Broadway in John Gielgud's production of Hamlet starring Richard Burton, obtaining first hand the material for his Journal of Rehearsals, published by Penguin Random House. Other Broadway appearances include Crown Matrimonial with Eileen Herlie and Alice in Wonderland with Eva Le Gallienne. Off Broadway he played Felix Mendelssohn in Beyond Desire with Franchot Tone, the Professor in Uncle Vanya and Consul Grotti in Pirandello's Naked for Roundabout, NY. He toured with The National Repertory Theatre in She Stoops to Conquer and Liliom with Signe Hasso and Farley Granger, and as Horatio and Hamlet in the National Theatre's production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. He is a veteran of the Shakespeare Festivals of Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, Vermont, North Carolina, Connecticut, Boston, and Washington DC, in a panoply of roles, including Romeo, Mercutio, lago, Cassio, Shylock, Orlando, Worcester, Mortimer, Antonio the Merchant, and the Twin Antipholi. A graduate of Northwestern University, Richard Sterne studied at the Ecole Internationale de Mime in Paris with Marcel Marceau. He played the Devil in Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat at Sarah Bernhardt's Theatre and on a ten-city tour of France. He plays piano and has composed music for several Shakespeare plays including some of the music for the Gielgud/Burton Hamlet. He can be seen as the TV Announcer in the MGM film Soylent Green with Charlton Heston. Richard Sterne plays the alternate Coroner in The Metropolitan Opera's new production of Porgy and Bess and is appearing this spring in Tosca, Aida and La bohème. He lives in Manhattan's Times Square Theater District with his parrot Captain Flint.

The Fashionable Cycling Cufflinks of this Hasso fashion

The Hasso cuff link Fashion has grown into probably perhaps one of the very popular and acceptable fashions of connecting one end of the shirt out of one other. This fashion has turned into a global revolution and sensation. However, hasso fashion has its own root decades past . This Hasso fashion giant revolves round the development of the 17thcentury fashion market. Fashion-industry from the 1800s has come to be widely popular among the masses and also the coming of this industry widely credited to the overall modernization of people's life style. Yet, eventually climbed to demands once people got the taste of it. The 1900 fashion magnets incorporate those of their royal blood of France and Paris watched many clothing stores until the French Revolution which displaced most businesspersons. Hasso cuff-link Fashion has its own origin with a lowly start in a small town of Baghdad. Baghdad at the point was under chaos and insanity by the violence. Baghdad was a war torn city. Bombardment and blood sheet proved to be the daily purchase. Nevertheless, the development of fashion has been rampant. A small shop by the road,'Hasso and Sons' stood firm on its commitment to meet the daily fashion demands of the people. The violence and the war didn't dissuade the shopkeeper of this fashion shop. The small shop by the road neatly maintains the room having a glass cabinet to pull the on lookers. Small though, the shop provides the consumer the very beautiful tie, Italian leather straps, and Swiss watches. Besides this, the shop carries from the consumer's requirements for Cotton tops, Swiss and Italian suits. Hence, Cycling cufflinks Fashion struck on the fashion industry.To get more information on Bike chain cufflinks please go to https://www.wearhasso.com/cufflinks/ The Cycling cuff link experiences numerous stages in the future outside to the market. At the early stages of coming with this idea, the makers and the owner of this manner had an matter of trial and error experiences. Finally, the makers add more beauty by wrap it in the gift box made of complicated wood. To improve its beauty, the gift box has a lineup having a jacquard fabric exceptionally designed for practically any takers. The Cycling Cufflinks, without a doubt men and women, respect as the right gift for most occasions.

Holiday In Mallorca

Your first trip to the island is of course the drive from the airport to your accommodation - probably the most important tour of your vacation. If everything goes smoothly, nothing stands in the way of relaxation. Therefore, you should think carefully about which transport service you choose to get to the desired destination after landing.

The reliable Mallorca transfer from our partner Holiday Extras brings you directly from the terminal to the hotel. Relax in a shuttle, minibus or private taxi and let yourself be driven to Playa De Palma or other holiday resorts such as Alcudia, Playa De Muro, Cala Millor or Cala Ratjada in just a few minutes.

When you arrive at your holiday destination, you have countless opportunities to start your tour of discovery in Mallorca. Whether by bike, scooter or bus - the Mediterranean island offers almost everything that makes your vacation unforgettable. Are you still looking for accommodation in Mallorca? Our partner Holiday Extra can also help you with this - here you will find a large selection of holiday homes and fincas on Mallorca.

    Travel like a local - on a scooter    

Ride along the picturesque seaside resorts or into the hinterland on two wheels, just like the Mallorcans. So you can explore the island on your own and drive freely through the small villages, to the beaches and the unique viewpoints.

Our tip: Rent a scooter in Palma de Mallorca and commute from one beach to another. A rental scooter costs between € 35 and € 45 per day, including insurance, depending on the cubic capacity or rental period. Incidentally, we find the vintage speedsters from Vintage Motors particularly chic .

Along the coast by rental car    

The classic. Rent a car and stay flexible when exploring the island. From Palma de Mallorca it is not far to the most beautiful corners of the island. The road network on the Balearic Island is very well developed. Especially in the tourist regions such as Playa De Palma, Corralejo, Costa Calma or Alcudia, the roads are well paved and well signposted.

If you want to face the road trip adventure, you should definitely consider three things:

     Book rental cars early: In the high season in particular, it is advisable to reserve as early as possible in order to save vacation money.

     Prefer on-site rentals : You will find some of the largest car rental companies upon your arrival at the terminal, such as Atesa, Avis, Hasso, Hertz, Record, Hiper Rent a Car and SIXT.

     Choosing the right insurance: No matter how much you trust your own driving style, you can never completely rule out an accident. Therefore, you should be on the safe side with a “fully comprehensive insurance without excess”. If you want to find out more about rental car insurance, you will find  good tips at billiger-mietwagen.de .

Discover Mallorca from above     Glide through the air and enjoy a breathtaking panorama from a bird's eye view. Every day you can book a helicopter flight from Palma and discover different routes. Experienced pilots will fly you over the most beautiful places on the island. A large selection of flight routes can be found on Hubschrauberflug.de  .My tip: You can book helicopter flights for 20, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. For three people, the 30-minute aerial fun costs around 300 euros.

rent a bycicle     The breathtaking landscape and the excellent network of cycle paths make Mallorca an Eldorado for cyclists. There is a bike rental in almost all well-known holiday resorts. The prices vary and some are quite cheap. Lots of cycle tourists are out and about, especially in spring.

EuroPython 2019: Keynotes

We are proud to announce our keynote lineup for EuroPython 2019:

Getting Your Data Joie De Vivre Back!

Most of us work too much and play too little.  When was the last time you smiled at something you made?  Playing with fun datasets, especially big data sets, opens up weird new forms of technical recreation.  Why not train an amusing model in a browser tab while you're waiting for that day-job Spark query to finish?  I'll show you some data toys I've built using AI and interesting data sets: Most of them involve both backend data science and front-end visualization tricks.  They range from poetry-composition helpers to game log analysis to image deconstruction and reconstruction. All of them taught me something, often about myself and what I like artistically, and sometimes about what "big data" actually means.

About Lynn Cherny

AI in Contemporary Art

Over the past couple of years, there has been increasing interest in applying the latest advances in machine learning to creative projects in art and design. From DeepDream and style transfer to a GAN-generated painting selling for $430,000 at auction, AI art has moved beyond the world of research and academia and become a trend in its own right. Meanwhile, the contemporary art world's fascination with the social impact of facial recognition, recommendation systems and deep fakes has encouraged artists to explore AI critically as subject matter. This talk will give an overview of how artists and technologists are using and thinking about machine learning, its creative potential and societal impact.

About Luba Elliott

Luba Elliott is a curator, artist and researcher specialising in artificial intelligence in the creative industries.  She is currently working to educate and engage the broader public about the latest developments in creative AI through monthly meetups, talks and tech demonstrations. This year, she is curating Impakt Festival in October, themed on post-truth and AI. As curator, she organised workshops and exhibitions on art and AI for The Photographers’ Gallery, the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence and Google.

She was also a guest speaker of the “Technical Lessons Learned on Pythonic Refactoring” episode of the Talk Python podcast, which has about 50,000 downloads.

Are women underrepresented in the High Performance Computing (HPC) community?

This study is the first attempt to understand the current gender demographics of the HPC community, and identify potential reasons and ways to tackle the gender imbalance. By listening to the people who constitute the community, the study offers a guideline on what the HPC community should focus on in order to become more attractive, accessible and useful to everyone.

About Athina Frantzana

Athina Frantzana has just completed her PhD studies at the University of Edinburgh, UK. Her research focused on gender diversity in the High Performance Computing (HPC) community: the reasons for the gender imbalance, the problems this causes to the community, the benefits of increasing diversity, and the effectiveness of a range of approaches designed to improve gender diversity. She is also a co-founder of the Women in HPC (WHPC) Network and an active member of various organisations and initiatives which promote and support women in STEM. She works tirelessly towards achieving gender equality in STEM through her projects and by organising and participating in conferences, providing mentoring, taking part in outreach activities, writing articles and Wikipedia pages.

Python Performance: Past, Present and Future

Many past optimization projects are now abandoned or stale for different reasons: Unladen Swallow, Pyston, Pyjion, Gilectomy, etc. Victor also experimented register-based bytecode and FAT Python which he failed to finish. We will see what these projects have achieved, but also try to understand why they didn't complete. One common issue is the backward compatibility, especially the compatibility with C extensions.

Python now has a performance benchmark suite to track performance over time. There are mature solutions to optimize performance bottlenecks and works around the GIL limitation. PyPy is a drop-in replacement for CPython: it is way faster, fully compatible, and is now more efficient to handle C extensions (PyPy cpyext). Cython is a good compromise between speed and development time: it uses a syntax close to Python but emit faster machine code. multiprocessing makes easy to scale an application on multiple CPUs, and it supports shared memory since Python 3.8. asyncio is another approach to maximize CPU utilization using concurrency for I/O (ex: network and database connections). 

The pickle has also been optimized in Python 3.8 (version 5) to reduce or even avoid memory copies. For scientific computation like numpy, numba and pythran can emit efficient code using SIMD instructions and GPGPU. There are also multiple on-going experimental projects. For example, the PEP 554 proposes to have multiple interpreter instances, called "sub-interpreters", per process, and run them in parallel: no single process-wide lock, but one lock per interpreter. The C API used by C extensions is also being reworked to hide implementation details and provide better forward compatibility. In the long term, it may unlock many new optimizations in CPython, and it may even allow to use the same C extension binary for CPython and PyPy.

About Victor Stinner

Victor Stinner is a Python core developer for 9 years. He is paid by Red Hat to maintain Python upstream (python.org) and downstream (RHEL, Fedora). Author of pyperf, faulthandler and tracemalloc modules, he is working on Python performance (https://speed.python.org/), security (http://python-security.readthedocs.io/ website) and stability (member of the Night's Watch, maintain Python CIs: Travis CI, AppVeyor, and the large fleet of buildbot workers). He is also mentoring Python contributors.

Par Lola Kostadinoff, France Télévisions, Prospective et MediaLab

Une démarche agile, construite autour de l’humain et de l’intelligence collective : c’est la promesse du design thinking, ou pensée design, qui remodèle depuis quelques années bon nombre de nos entreprises. Une méthode dont les médias sont de plus en plus nombreux à s’inspirer pour se réinventer.

Plus qu'une discipline, le design thinking est une démarche qui dépasse les frontières du design pour s’appliquer, plus généralement, aux processus d’innovation.

C'est Tim Brown, figure de la Silicon Valley à la tête du cabinet de conseil en innovation IDEO, qui l'a adaptée à l'entreprise dans les années 1990. Pour lui, la pensée design « utilise la sensibilité, les outils et méthodes des designers pour permettre à des équipes multidisciplinaires d’innover en mettant en correspondance attentes des utilisateurs, faisabilité technologique et viabilité économique. »

Sa vision créative du management d’entreprise sont aujourd’hui devenue iconiques, et commencent à infuser une industrie médiatique en pleine transformation.

Les 5 étapes du design thinking selon l'institut Hasso-Plattner

Appliqué dans des domaines aussi divers que le service, le design produit ou encore le journalisme, le design thinking peut prendre des formes multiples. Il serait d'ailleurs bien peu pertinent d’appliquer un modèle unique pour l’ensemble des process d’innovation : la flexibilité et l’adaptation au contexte, qui sont les bénéfices principaux de la démarche, risqueraient d’en pâtir.

Mais un modèle fait tout de même référence, celui de l’Institut de Design Hasso-Plattner, basé à Stanford, et première école à enseigner le design thinking. Il définit le process en 5 étapes itératives, flexibles et interconnectées :

Empathise : c’est la phase d'observation et d’immersion pour comprendre les expériences et motivations du futur utilisateur. L'empathie est cruciale puisqu'elle permet de mettre de côté ses propres préconceptions du monde pour avoir un aperçu de ce que les utilisateurs font, pensent, ressentent et disent.

Define : il s’agit de réunir les informations rassemblées pendant l'étape d’empathie pour définir les problématiques à adresser, en cherchant à formuler un énoncé centré sur l’Homme, du type « Comment pourrait-on améliorer la qualité des articles pour nos lecteurs ? » plutôt que « Comment pourrait-on augmenter la vente de nos journaux ? »

Ideate : trouver un maximum d’idées répondant à la problématique énoncée. Sur le principe de l’intelligence collective, tous les membres de l'équipe sont invités à proposer de nouvelles solutions et à chercher des alternatives au problème, bref, à transformer les contraintes en opportunités.

Prototype : choisir la meilleure solution possible pour chacun des problèmes identifiés dans la phase précédente, puis la mettre en œuvre dans des prototypes qui, un à un, sont examinés, testés en interne, améliorés ou rejetés.

Test : mettre en œuvre l’idée finie à travers une série de tests utilisateur. Le feedback recueilli doit permettre de réajuster le produit, voire de redéfinir les problématiques et réitérer le processus.

Un outil précieux pour l’entreprise... et pour les médias ?

Pour Tim Brown, les entreprises fonctionnent toujours sur les vestiges d’une ère industrielle où « les innovations du passé sont devenues des procédures de routine. » Paralysée dans des processus lourds qui laissent peu de place à la créativité, s'adaptant à grand peine à l'ère numérique, notre économie doit aujourd'hui repenser ses méthodes de management, tant à l'échelle globale des entreprises qu'au niveau de la gestion de projet.

Et ce changement passe surtout par l’humain : le design thinking dans l’entreprise doit aboutir à une véritable innovation d’expérience, au croisement entre l’innovation de process, l’innovation émotionnelle et l’innovation fonctionnelle, au service du consommateur, mais aussi des équipes qui contribuent au projet.

Et les médias dans tout ça ? Eux aussi doivent aujourd’hui repenser en profondeur leur manière de raconter, en plaçant les nouveaux outils et usages au cœur de leurs stratégies éditoriales. Bref, il est question d'innover pour innover, de penser expérience utilisateur (UX) et design d’interface (UI), l’essence même des nouveaux médias !

Dans cette optique, la pensée design peut être une porte d’entrée pour aider les rédactions à mieux comprendre les attentes de leurs utilisateurs et leur proposer des expériences narratives innovantes.

Comme l’explique le Guide du journalisme et du design de la journaliste américaine Heather Chaplin, le design thinking peut par exemple amener les rédactions à tester et adapter de nouveaux produits éditoriaux pour identifier rapidement et à un coût abordable les pistes d’innovation les plus prometteuses. Il peut aussi être un outil de connaissance des audiences pour mieux comprendre leurs usages réels et créer des contenus qui s’adressent à tous. Enfin, il peut faciliter un journalisme citoyen et un journalisme de solutions qui s’appuient directement sur l’expérience du public en explorant non seulement les problèmes des communautés mais aussi les manières d’y répondre.

Devenons des journalistes designers !

Nous l’affirmions déjà il y deux ans : « le nouveau journaliste est un scénariste de l’information, un designer narratif de la réalité du monde, un producteur d’impact, un chef de projets. »

Un véritable « designer de l’info » qui devra être capable de mettre en œuvre des aptitudes encore trop délaissées dans le monde de l’entreprise : l’intuition et l’imagination. Pour cela, plusieurs pistes possibles : le journalisme expérientiel, créateur d’interactions, le journalisme prospectif, qui décrypte le présent pour mieux envisager le futur, ou encore le journalisme en mode projet, qui rassemble et se fonde sur l’intelligence collective pour produire un contenu innovant.

Avec, toujours, une idée en tête : faire primer l'intérêt du public, et ne jamais fonder les décisions éditoriales uniquement sur des considérations de profit et de rentabilité. Le Guide du journalisme et du design reconna��t d'ailleurs la spécificité du secteur des médias en matière d'intérêt général et rappelle plusieurs éléments essentiels à la pratique du desgin dans un contexte journalistique :

Penser en terme de "systèmes” ; comprendre l’information et les médias d’information comme faisant partie de plus vastes écosystèmes informationnels, sociétaux et organisationnels ;

Concentrer l’effort d'innovation sur l’humain, pas sur la technologie ; servir les publics en évitant de supposer qu’une innovation est justifiée uniquement parce que de nouvelles technologies la rendent possible ;

Identifier le vrai problème et sa nature, pour éviter les pièges qu’il y aurait à connaître ;

Pratiquer l’écoute et d’autres méthodes comme l'immersion pour entrer en empathie profonde avec la réalité de la vie des utilisateurs et ainsi répondre plus efficacement à leurs besoins ;

Mettre en place de l'idéation ouverte, pour produire des idées (le “brainstorming” n’est qu’une première étape) ;

Synthétiser et questionner les idées (un processus distinct de l’idéation initiale) pour trier les meilleures idées et les organiser en ensembles cohérents ;

Prototyper et itérer - ou “l’apprentissage par l’action” - pour concevoir et utiliser des versions du produit très tôt et ainsi atteindre un niveau de compréhension que ne permet pas la théorie seule ;

Tester : c’est l’un des maillons du cycle de prototypage et d’itération au cours duquel les designers observent des personnes interagir avec ce qu’ils ont conçu pour voir comment cela est utilisé - et non comment ils pensaient que ce serait utilisé.

Plus qu’une méthodologie de travail, le design thinking doit être un état d’esprit. Et c'est bien de cela qu'il s'agit : non pas simplement revoir les process et le management, mais prendre de la hauteur et replacer les utilisateurs au centre des projets.

Une démarche d'autant plus essentielle dans le secteur des médias où il est urgent de construire une nouvelle relation avec le public et de restaurer le le lien de proximité avec les citoyens.

"The racist dimensions of international politics were manifest and explicitly challenged during the many months of intensive meetings at the Versailles Peace Conference of 1919 – at which was established the scaffolding of postwar colonial and imperial arrangements, including the British Mandate over Palestine.

White powers often described the struggle for 'world domination' as a 'race war' in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. British imperialists distinguished between white and nonwhite (or 'coloured') peoples and assumed the former should rule and the latter should be ruled, defining 'Syrians' and Afghans, for example, as 'nonwhites.' ... Irrespective of anti-Semitism and the historically situated and to some degree malleable nature of whiteness as a social construct, Zionist settler-colonialism was understood by its advocates and their British and US allies to be a white socioeconomic project. Racism in Mandate Palestine expressed itself through civilizational discourse, extraction from the native population, the biopolitics of colonial categorizations and counting, and the systematic maldistribution of life, death, and wellbeing by investment priorities. Such maldistribution by priority is underplayed as a systemically racist dimension of settler-colonialism and colonialism in Palestine. ... The 'blueprint' for the Allied postwar geopolitical order, the League of Nations and its Mandate system, was authored by racist war hero Jan Smuts, an Afrikaner from South Africa, at the behest of the British government. Published in December 1918 as The League of Nations: A Practical Suggestion, the document became a worldwide bestseller. Its stated purpose was to establish 'a means to prevent future wars.' Smuts’s use of the terms 'self-determination' and 'no annexation,' drawing on Woodrow Wilson’s Fourteen Points released in January 1918, offered thin ideological cover for European and US imperialist aims to control postwar geopolitics and resources. The 'peoples left behind' by the dissolution of the Russian, Austrian, Ottoman, and German empires, Smuts rationalized, were 'largely incapable or deficient in the power of self-government.' ... Smuts argued ... that the peoples of Palestine and Armenia were too 'heterogeneous' to be consulted regarding any future arrangement. ... By the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference certainly, British colonial politicians recognized, to borrow Helen Tilley's words, that egregiously racist policies threatened the stability of the colonial order by making 'governing far more difficult.' At the same time, policies of social equality or parity threatened to 'undermine' the (extractive and violent) logic of colonial relationships – the colonizer must be above the colonized. When such hierarchy was shaken, the 'prospects of [the colonized person’s] future usefulness [to the colonial state] is destroyed.' This helps explain why criticism of racial prejudice by some colonial elites 'was insufficient to undermine the social hierarchies of colonial states.'"

Enhance Your Bar Or Billiard Room With your Preferred Sports activities Team Logo

The use of a Sports Crew or Sports activities-associated theme to Beautify your house billiard room or rec room isn’t always that unusual. The world of Sports activities is nearly too massive to assume, with nearly countless buying possibilities. Whether or not you would really like multiple NHL Group Logo bar stools to your bar, otherwise you would really like to completely refurbish your billiard room With your Favourite Crew Brand, there’s constantly something simply available to make you happy. But, given that there are such a lot of exclusive routes to take while decorating with Sports activities Group trademarks, it may be relatively hard to come to a decision a specific Sports activities theme. Some ideas are mentioned under.

most Sports activities enthusiasts have a fave Group or . I is probably pointing out the plain, but one idea is to Decorate your billiard room based totally on the Logo and colorings of your Favored Crew. If you have two Preferred groups and can’t decide among them, then use them each. As an example, pick a Crimson and black color scheme for the new Jersey Devils, filling the room with the Devils Team Logo memorabilia, together with bar stools, wall cue racks, clocks, pub tables and extra.

A second billiard room topic concept is to have rival Group colorings and emblems, both combined together throughout your billiard room (to show uniformity) or cut up down the middle of the room (to imitate opposition among the two groups. almost each principal recreation in every large city has a main rival, consisting of university ball. Possibly a set of Saint Louis Cardinals bar stools and a Chicago Cubs pub desk will suit nicely next to your billiard table or as an accompaniment in your bar. Or how about a hard and fast of billiard balls which can be half of Cowboys and half of Giants? And do now not think that the decor among the two rival teams and colorations must be equal. your own home Crew or Favorite Group of the 2 can be the dominant Sports Team Logo and coloration scheme in your billiard room. For example, I have, in my home billiard room, a fixed of Saint Louis Rams vs. Kansas city Chiefs billiard balls and 4 bar stools, two Chiefs and Rams. The the rest of my domestic billiard room is Saint Louis Rams and Saint Louis Cardinals, which Segways properly into the following topic.

It’s also not unusual to Decorate with an winter sports subject matter (baseball and soccer, hockey and basketball, and so on.), in particular in a bar, billiard room or corridor, or anyplace else in which sporting occasions are watched through big corporations of human beings immediately. I take place to have Saint Louis Group logos, due to the fact that is who I love. And yes, I recognize the Rams aren’t any true now, but I’m able to hope. Despite the fact that winter sports subject matters are usually chosen primarily based on home towns or cities of foundation, not anything says you can not have or greater favorites which might be completely unrelated, which include the Los Angeles Lakers and Edmonton Oilers, or the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburg Penguins. If the ones are the groups you like, then Beautify hence. A few ordinary Sports theme thoughts and Group trademarks for your home bar or billiard room are:

Used Cars Sale Owner

There are many extra options available, lots of which may be without difficulty determined online. If you recognize what Sports activities Crew Logo (or logos) you need to apply, then you definitely are headed in the right route. then you definitely ought to discern out what you need in your billiard room in traces of fixtures and decor. Crew Brand bar stools, pub tables, pool desk lights, and wall cue racks are all remarkable thoughts, and may be determined in a number of locations pretty easily. Or in case your finances is tight, then start off smaller with objects like a Group Logo wall clock, replicate, rug or pennant, which expend no extra area, both. Developing the correct Sports activities Team Logo billiard room need to be a laugh and interesting and now not feel like paintings. I am hoping this article has sparked A few mind that will help you out and make the system less complicated.

Although most nationalist activists did not examine assumptions about gender, concern about masculinity norms that required kinsmen to protect women’s bodies from other men appears to have contributed to the Palestinian exodus during the 1948 and 1967 wars. In this light, I revisit accounts of the Deir Yassin massacre, an event that continues to be symbolically important in analyses of the 1948 war. Although this massacre is widely recognized as a turning point in the 1948 war and as having greatly encouraged the Palestinian refugee exodus, the gender-related impact of the massacre on the exodus has largely been ignored in debates about “why Palestinians left.” I argue that nationalist activists came to view women’s protection norms as manifestations of backwardness that functioned ideologically to legitimate (for Europe) and practically to facilitate (by encouraging Palestinian flight) the appropriation of Palestine by the ostensibly more modern Zionist movement. This may explain why many of these activists assumed that, in order to recover their homeland, they had to recast gender norms related to defending the “honor” invested in protecting women’s bodies from sexual and physical violation. The existence of this nationalist concern is demonstrated by the nationalist slogan al-ard qabl al-çird (“land before honor”).

The “land before honor” slogan and calls for “progress” with respect to the inclusion of women in the public sphere were to a large extent utilitarian (because conservative gender norms were viewed as barriers to national liberation). In addition, I argue that far from being traditional or anti-modern, the gender ideologies and practices of these organic and traditional intellectuals can be explained at least partly by the gendered ambivalences, silences, and (re)presentations common in most nationalist, Marxist, and liberal discourses.
