Palestinians anger Israel over Unesco role in Bethlehem

Unesco's World Heritage committee has approved a Palestinian bid to place the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on its list of sites of World Heritage in Danger ? a move seen by some nations as dangerously mixing politics and culture.

Palestinian spokeswoman Hanan?Ashrawi said the vote was an?affirmation of Palestinian sovereignty over the site that marks the place where Christians believe Jesus was born.

Israel angrily denounced the vote,?with foreign ministry spokeswoman Ilana Stein saying the decision "has turned Unesco into a theatre of the absurd".

The 21-member committee, meeting in St Petersburg, Russia, voted 13-6 to include the church and?pilgrimage route, located in the?Israeli-controlled West Bank, on?its list of sites. There were two abstentions.

The drive to get the Nativity church quickly recognised as a World Heritage site was part of the Palestinians' effort to win international recognition since attempts to establish a Palestinian state through negotiations with Israel are frozen.

The United States was among nations opposed to the Palestinian proposal of an emergency candidacy for the Christian site, shortcutting what is usually an 18-month-long process to apply for World Heritage recognition. The US?ambassador to Unesco, David Killion, said the United States is "profoundly disappointed".

Queen's 10,000 diamonds on display in London

LONDON (Reuters) - More than 10,000 diamonds go on show at London's Buckingham Palace this week to mark Queen Elizabeth's 60th year on the throne, in a dazzling display of gems gathered over the centuries as objects of beauty and symbols of power.

The exhibition, which runs from June 30 to July 8 and then from July 31 to October 7, was designed to coincide with the queen's diamond jubilee this year, and features jewels she wears regularly at official functions in Britain and abroad.

"The aim of the exhibition is to show how rulers have used diamonds as visible signs of wealth and power," said curator Caroline de Guitaut, who described the crowns, tiaras, rings, earrings, swords and snuff box on display as "priceless."

De Guitaut said the 86-year-old monarch was consulted on what would be used for the exhibition, housed in a darkened room inside Buckingham Palace and accessed via gilded, colonnaded corridors lined with royal portraits going back generations.

"We have tried to showcase some of the most important diamonds in royal possession."

The first item on show in a brightly lit glass case is Queen Victoria's small diamond crown which, despite its size, features more than 1,100 diamonds.

After her husband Prince Albert's death in 1861, the only other British monarch to have marked a diamond jubilee wore only mourning clothes, meaning that colourless stones such as clear diamonds were an ideal adornment.

Victoria was regularly pictured wearing it, including in her official diamond jubilee portrait.

Perhaps the most impressive display, however, is that containing seven of the nine major stones cut from the Cullinan Diamond, the largest ever found.

SCEPTRE, CROWN AND MORE

The gemstone was discovered in South Africa in 1905 and was so large that a clerk working at the mine initially threw it away, assuming it was a worthless crystal.

Eventually, though, the stone weighing 3,106 carats in its rough state was presented to King Edward VII who decided to have it cut and polished.

It produced nine principal stones and 96 small brilliant diamonds. The two main gems, the largest colourless and flawless cut diamonds in the world, were set in the Sovereign's Sceptre and Imperial State Crown.

Like many of the important diamonds in the exhibition, Cullinan III and IV were used in a variety of settings over time but today form a brooch worn by Queen Elizabeth at a service of thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral earlier this month.

Cullinan V is in a brooch, Cullinan VII hangs as a pendant from an emerald necklace, Cullinan VI and VIII are also in a brooch and Cullinan IX, the smallest of the nine main stones at 4.4 carats, is set into a platinum ring.

Underlining how diamonds were used as gifts of diplomacy as well as objects of desire, Queen Victoria's fringe brooch includes stones presented to her by the Sultan of Turkey as a token of thanks for Britain's support in the Crimean War.

Victoria appears not to have appreciated the sultan's tastes, and had the jewels reset.

The Jaipur Sword and Scabbard were presented to King Edward VII for his coronation in 1902 by the Maharajah of Jaipur, and have been set with 719 diamonds weighing 2,000 carats in total.

More recently, Queen Elizabeth was gifted the Williamson Diamond in 1947 by Canadian geologist and royalist John Thorburn Williamson, and it is considered the finest pink diamond ever discovered.

From its original uncut 54.5 carats it was cut into a 23.6-carat round brilliant stone and now sits in the centre of a flower-shaped brooch by Cartier.

While De Guitaut said she could not even guess the value of the diamonds on display, a pink diamond of similar size without royal provenance, fetched $46 million at an auction in Switzerland in 2010.

Of all the royals represented in the exhibition, Queen Mary's name came up most often.

Queen Elizabeth's grandmother clearly had a passion for jewellery, and among her acquisitions was a snuff box made originally for Frederick II of Prussia and his court.

The box is covered with nearly 3,000 diamonds, including many on the bottom which would normally be invisible, and came to England after the Russian Revolution. There it was sold twice before being purchased by Mary in 1932.

GEDI chip sorts prostate cancer cells
(Nanowerk News) The future of prostate cancer therapy may lie in a tiny, "sticky" silicon chip dubbed GEDI (Geometrically Enhanced Differential Immunocapture, pronounced like the "Star Wars" forces of good) that can identify and collect cancer cells from a patient's bloodstream.
A team of researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City and Cornell's College of Engineering in Ithaca has built the chip into a device that captures an unprecedentedly high concentration of rare cancer cells from metastatic prostate cancer patients for a quick, noninvasive analysis to determine the efficacy of the patients' current chemotherapy. The ability to collect a relatively pure sample of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may also enable research to better understand the biology of metastasis and develop new treatments, the researchers said.
the GEDI device
The "sticky" square patch (middle) of the GEDI device contains the purest collection of circulating tumor cells in the blood. The rest of the blood cells are discarded in the capsule.
Their work is described in a paper in the April 2012 issue of the journal PLoS ONE ("Functional Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells with a Prostate-Cancer-Specific Microfluidic Device"), and was announced in a press conference at Weill by Brian Kirby, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering; David Nanus, M.D., the Mark W. Pasmantier Professor of Hematology and Oncology in Medicine; and Evi Giannakakou, associate professor of pharmacology. The team includes 12 other researchers from both campuses.
Metastatic cancer is cancer that has spread from the place where it first started -- in this case, the prostate -- to another place in the body, most commonly the lungs, bones and liver. Metastasis accounts for the majority of cancer-related deaths.
"We need to be able to match the drug to the patient and the tumor," said Nanus. But tumor cells habitually mutate and develop a resistance to a previously effective therapy. In the case of prostate cancer, three drugs are in common use, but the most effective one varies with the patient and the particular cancer.
Metastasis is believed to be caused by cells that detach from the primary prostate tumor, circulate in the bloodstream and seed new tumors. Extensive clinical research shows that a reliable CTC count is a strong predictor of overall survival in metastatic prostate cancer patients. However, since the incidence of CTCs can be very small -- one CTC per 100 million blood cells -- pure CTC capture is difficult.
"This really is a needle in a haystack," Kirby emphasized.
On the GEDI chip, blood flows through an array of posts just a few millionths of a meter in diameter, coated with antibodies that stick to cancer cells
On the GEDI chip, blood flows through an array of posts just a few millionths of a meter in diameter, coated with antibodies that stick to cancer cells. Each row of posts is offset from the one before by a distance that causes the larger cancer cells to collide with them - and stick on - more often, while other cells in the blood flow smoothly past
Cell-capture devices now in use contain antibodies that bind to an antigen found on the surface of nearly all malignant prostate cancer cells. But these antibodies also bind to other cells in the bloodstream and can collect a highly impure sample.
On the GEDI chip, a milliliter (mL, one-thousandth of a liter) of blood is pumped through a nanoscale channel filled with tiny posts just a few microns (millionths of a meter) in diameter, coated with antibodies. Successive rows of posts are offset in a carefully calculated way so that only cells larger than 15 microns will collide with the posts and stick to them, while most smaller cells flow smoothly around them.
"Most cancer cells are bigger and more rigid than normal cells, so it's about tricking these cancer cells into colliding with the sticky walls," Kirby explained.
After the test the chip is removed from the device and the captured cells extracted for analysis. In an experiment with a blood sample containing 200 mL of CTCs and 5 billion blood cells, the device captured a whopping 170mL of CTCs and only 91mL of irrelevant blood cells.
The GEDI device is scheduled to go into clinical trial this year. Meanwhile, the researchers are actively working on detectors for breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers.
The research is one of several joint Ithaca-New York City projects associated with the Cornell Center for Microenvironment and Metastasis, a $13 million National Institutes of Health-funded Physical Sciences-Oncology Center created to use physical techniques and processes to improve understanding and care of metastatic cancer in patients.

Mobile Devices | EFF Surveillance Self-Defense Project | The ...

This article discusses privacy implications of cell phones and other devices that communicate with large scale wireless voice and data networks.

This page doesn?t discuss Wi-Fi. If you have a mobile device that uses Wi-Fi but not GSM, CDMA 2000, or any of the other cellular networks, you should follow the same steps that you would for a laptop with Wi-Fi. If you have a cell phone that also connects to Wi-Fi networks, you should read the Wi-Fi article as well as the material below.

Problems with Cellular Device Privacy

Cell phones pose several privacy problems.

No Anonymity. Every cell phone has several unique identifying numbers. For a GSM phone these include the IMEI number for the handset itself and the IMSI in the SIM card. Unless you have purchased your handset and account anonymously, these will be linked to your real identity. Even if you have an anonymous handset and account, the typical use pattern of a phone is almost always enough to link it to your identity.

Location tracking. Cell phones communicate with transmission towers. The strength of the signal received by these towers from a phone is a measure of distance, and this allows the phone network to know where its users are. Many if not all networks log approximate location on a regular basis. These records may be subject to subpoena. If your adversary is law enforcement and has probable cause for a warrant, they could receive continuous triangulation location surveillance data from the network.

Easy interception. Cell phone communications are sent through the air like communications from a walkie-talkie, and encryption is usually inadequate or absent. Although there are substantial legal protections for the privacy of cell phone calls, it?s technologically straightforward to intercept cell phone calls on many cell networks without the cooperation of the carrier, and the technology to do this is only getting cheaper. Such interception without legal process could be a serious violation of privacy laws, but would be immensely difficult to detect. U.S. and foreign intelligence agencies have the technical capacity to intercept unencrypted and weakly encrypted cell phone calls on a routine basis.

Lack of user control. Cell phones tend to run proprietary operating systems, and the operating systems on different devices tend to be different from each other. This means for instance that on most cell phones:

  • it?s impossible to guarantee that the phone is using secure encryption for its transmissions, or determine whether it?s using encryption at all
  • it?s very difficult for the user to gain access to and control over the data recorded by the phone?s operating system

However, because cell phones do not create stored records of the contents of your communications, telephonic communication has certain privacy advantages over other modes of communication, like email, instant messaging or text messaging which do create such records.

Data Stored by Your Phone

Your phone will store the contents of the text messages you send and receive, the times and numbers of the calls you make and receive, and possibly other information such as location-related data. Secure deletion of this data poses a challenge. On most mobile devices your best strategy is to manually delete these records using the phone?s user interface, and then hope that new records will overwrite them. If you have deleted all your text messages and calls, and waited long enough for the phone?s memory to fill, there is a chance that later forensic investigation would not find the original data.

There are a couple of drive encryption programs available for devices that run the Windows Mobile operating system. Proprietary drive encryption that has not been audited by the computer security community should always be treated with caution; it is probably better than no protection at all, although even that is not guaranteed.

We are hopeful that the arrival of open Linux-based phones (notably OpenMoko and those using the Google Android code) will offer users better control over stored data in the future.

The undeleted data could be accessible to anyone who takes physical possession of the phone, including thieves or an arresting officer.

Transmitted Data

The control data and actual voice conversations sent by cellular devices may be encrypted using various standard encryption protocols. There is no guarantee that this will occur ? phones do not usually offer users a way to refuse to operate in unencrypted mode, and many don?t indicate whether they are using encryption. As a result, it is largely up to the network operator to decide if its users will receive any cryptographic defense against eavesdropping.

Carrier-provided encryption can be good protection against eavesdropping by third parties. However, if it is the carrier that wants to listen in, or the government with a warrant ordering the carrier to allow wiretapping access to your calls, then that encryption will not protect you because the carrier has the means to decrypt.

Even if your cell phone is communicating in an encrypted fashion, it turns out that most of the standard cryptography used in cell networks has been broken. This means that an adversary that is motivated and able to intercept radio communications and cryptanalyze them will be able to listen to your phone calls.

It would be technologically possible to use strong end-to-end encryption with voice calls, but this technology is not yet widely available. The German company GMSK has begun selling a GSM-based ?Cryptophone?; as with computer encryption, both users would need to be using the technology in order to make it work. Some third parties have produced software to encrypt SMS text messages; here, again, both the sender and recipient of a message would need to use compatible software.

Data Stored by Other Parties

A great deal of data pertaining to your use of your phone will be stored by the telephone company or companies that are providing you with service. A more diffuse set of records will also be stored by the phones of the people you communicate with.

Expect your telephone company to keep a record of: who you talk to and when; who you exchange messages with and when; what data you send and receive using wireless data services; information revealing your physical location at any time when your phone is on; and whether your phone is on or off.

The text messages exchanged by your phone ? as well as summary information for the calls you sent and receive from other cell phones ? are likely to be stored by those other cell phones. As anyone who follows celebrity gossip should know, the people you are communicating with can disclose the contents of your communications. Other adversaries may use subpoenas or other legal process to obtain text messages or call information.

Malware for Phones

If you face a determined adversary such as federal law enforcement with a warrant, assume that your phone could be reprogrammed with malware to assist in their investigations; there are reports of the FBI doing this.

Under these extreme circumstances, it is possible for your phone to be turned into a remote bugging device. It is possible for a phone to remain on even when you press the ?off? button, but not if you remove the battery.

If you have a pair of speakers that crackle when your phone is nearby, you can check that the phone is actually off / not transmitting continuously by placing it near those speakers.

AZ BEGINS IMPLEMENTATION OF AMENDED IMMIGRATION LAW ...

By Fleur Magbanua-Mansur

June 26, 2012

PHOENIX?Arizona began implementing the piece of its anti-illegal immigration law that survived the supreme court?s ruling on Monday, requiring police officers to verify immigration status during routine stops if they have a ?reasonable? suspicion that someone may be in the country illegally.
Police officers reportedly may now verify the immigration status of people during routine stops, if they have a reasonable suspicion that an individual may be an undocumented immigrant.

Arizona officers reportedly were told to look for particular signs such as lack of license, driving a car with foreign plates, difficulty speaking English, and nervousness before they ask for immigration papers.

But according to reports from Yahoo News, some police officers in the state are worried they may be bombarded with lawsuits from people who think they were improperly questioned about their status, or have been held for too long.
MIXED REACTIONS

Filipinos living in Arizona expressed mixed reactions after yesterday?s groundbreaking legal challenge to SB 1070.

?It?s not the job of police officer to ask any person that they stop through traffic lights or any encounter,? said Janet Pilapil-Oliveros of Phoenix, Arizona. ?They are not supposed to act as immigration agents. They are police officers, they are here to fight crimes to work with people and build relations with people in the community.?

But Marie Cunning, a Filipino community leader and business owner had a different view. She said she supports the court?s decision of allowing police to verify a person?s immigration status if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally.

?I am ecstatic to find out that the supreme court ruled in favor of the heart of SB 1070,?said Cunning. ?If it?s a way to weed out the bad from the good, then let?s do it.?

But immigration lawyer, Lemuel Carlos, said he is worried that the approved provision of the law may open doors to racial profiling.

?Without any clear criteria, what does an illegal immigrant look like? Unfortunately that?s where the stereotypes would come into place like names, accent, color of skin, ?said Carlos.

In Review - Write. Click. Scrapbook.

Every month I sit to write and I think, "Really? A whole month has already passed?" And then I shake my head, sigh, and recall what a fabulous month it has been.

June began with a fun birthday celebration. After much hemming and hawing about whether it was 3 or 4 (why is it that we turn our birthday number at the end of our year, rather than at the beginning??), we ate some virtual cupcakes and were thrilled to have some new team members, a new gallery, a talent search, and a giveaway! Woohoo! Who cares about the number, after all! We're just happy to be here with you!

With the return of our summer dailies posting series, we have already been honored to learn from Marnie, Vivian, Lisa, Emily, Monika, Diane, Amy, Emily, Paula, Francine, Celeste, our new Valerie, Donna, our also new Teka, and Katrina. We have addressed school's end, summertime, beaches, flags, fathers, and reading. Did you know that this month alone has brought you 60 layouts, 6 mini albums, 3 sketches, 2 cards, and a handful of ideas for home decor, and project life. We are doing our best to keep your summer filled with scrapbooking tips and inspiration that is doable, and fun!

?

There are only seven more days until our new gallery, so we wanted to take one last look back at our gallery. Shall we go together?

Gallery_walk_write_click_scrapbookLast month, as we walked through the gallery, we put together lists of page starters, prompts, or ideas, separated by our three site themes, write, click, and scrapbook. We thought it was helpful to re-examine the layouts with a different perspective (and fun, too!). Did you agree? We hope so, because we are doing it again!

This month, we are going to start with journaling. Without further ado, here are 25 stories to write:

  1. a time we changed a tradition (Christa)
  2. the story of our pet coming to our home (Celeste)
  3. a snapshot of my day told in words (Donna)
  4. if I were a pet, I would... (Lisa)

  1. your child at play from the backside. be sure to include some of the surroundings. (Christa)

  23. your people in the back of your car (Marnie)

Highest Seven Foods To Help Lose Weight | Information on healthy ...

Losing weight could be a never ending battle. Although you reach your goal, you?re still going to have to work to keep yourself there. People always view the working out aspect as the main key goal, however it could all mean nothing depending on the food you eat. This is often just as vital as the other aspect of losing weight.

A lot of the foods you eat may have more calories than you think that, and other foods that you just might not normally assume have lower calories than expected. We would like to share with you the highest seven foods can eat that are good for you, and also help you keep skinny and keep below your calorie limit.

So here they?re, in no particular order:

1.? Oatmeal; this is often a superb source of soluble fiber, which will slow down your digestion, that in turn keeps you feeling fuller for a extended amount of time. Whole grains and rice are also rich in this area, and since they?re more ?bulky? it does not take the maximum amount as something else would to create you?re feeling full.

2.? Grapefruit; this specifically is maybe one in all the highest foods in our opinion that are best for losing weight. The fruit itself is on average 90% water, and only 80 calories. You will gain nearly no weight and feel satisfied afterwards.

3.? Certain dairy products, like low fat yogurts, cheeses, and milk might not necessarily be the lowest in calories, however they?ll play an important role in serving to you get skinny. This is often as a result of the dairy product break down fat cells faster than most other foods, and if consumed in small doses of 3-4 times on a day could immensely help you lose weight fast.

4.? Popcorn; this surprises most of the people. Before seeing the reality myself, we just assumed that popcorn would be higher in calories than other comparable food, however this is often not the case. It takes 3 and 1/4 cups of popcorn to create one 100 calories, thus this is often great food to munch on if you are in that mood to just keep eating. Just keep in mind to not place an excessive amount of butter on it!

5.? Raw nuts manufacture quite a lot of fiber and can help? control your hunger pains. It is a good dose of Omega 3 fats which can help you burn fat faster. Just keep in mind that every one nuts can help you in these areas, however raw nuts are the most useful.

6.? Fish will help your body become more sensitive to a hormone that most other foods can not help. This fat burning hormone is named Leptin, and basically what it contributes to is suppressing your appetite, and this is often also the deciding area in whether or not the calories you consume are stored as fat or burned as energy.

7.? Water: this is not a food obviously, however we feel it deserves a place on this list. For one, it?s the most essential factor that you should be consuming. Particularly when you work out, you would like to replenish your fluids. In addition to help you together with your weight loss, drinking water will save your life. Drinking just five glasses of water every day can reduce the risk of colon cancer by 45%, cut the cost of breast cancer by 79%, and drops bladder cancer to only a 50% less likely to happen if you drink the water your body needs.

Some people can try and cut all their fat after they wish to lose weight, however this is often incorrect. Your body will need at least some source of healthy fat, or polyunsaturated fat. This will be much healthier than saturated fats. By adjusting your diet you can really change the way you lose weight and keep in form. Just keep in mind to eat all the kinds of food you would like, drink your water, and watch your calories!
