Telephone Entry Systems Knowledge Base
NuTone Scovill Apartment Telephone security system? I have an apartment building that has a NuTone Scovill telephone entry system in place, but I think it needs to be re-programed. I have no instruction on it... NuTone is no help. It's an older style with a old telephone receiver that hangs on the main part. It's got a button for every tenant and than that's it. If you have one or have instructions, it would be a great help!! the landlord doesn't know how to work it and doesn't have any instructions for it... Just the key. Actually I get a discount on rent if i get it working. :p
How does the USA compare when it comes to illegal entry? Let me see if I have this right? If you cross the North Korean Border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor. If you cross the Iranian border illegally, you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the Afghan border illegally, you get shot. If you cross the Saudi Arabian border illegally, you will be jailed. If you cross the Chinese border illegally, you may never be heard from again. If you cross the Venezuelan border illegally, you will be branded a spy and your fate will be sealed. If you cross the Cuban border illegally, you will be thrown into political prison to rot. If you cross the U.S. Border you get: A job A drivers license Social Security Card Welfare Food Stamps Credit Cards Subsidized rent or a loan to buy a house Free education Free Health Care A lobbyist in Washington Billions of dollars worth of public documents printed in your language Your own television channels, also in your language Telephone answering systems as well as ATM machines in your language The right to carry your country's flag while you protest that you don't get enough respect And in many instances, you can vote. I just wanted to make sure I had a grasp on the situation. Tio, no I am not saying that. What I am saying is that we are giving away things and the people who come here illegally do not deserve this. They need to come legally and pay taxes like the rest of us and then I have no complaints.
Does my resident agency have the right to keep my holding deposit? I have a question for holding deposit. Today( July 18), I signed and paid the holding deposit for $250. and background check for $25. I found a very cozy apartment. it has the secured gate and the model room. Someone has still rented for the unit so the resident agancy showed me the model room. The room was very remodeled and clean. Actually, I went the apartment last Sunday( July 12). The rent was around $1300. The resident agancy told me the unit is located behind the model room building. She did not tour the building.. The rent was a little expensive for me so I did not put holding deposit on July 12. During this week, I saw the ad in craigslist. They dropped the rent to $1,050. I called the resident agancy. She told me that sometimes they put fake advertisement in craigslist. But other unit at the same building is $1110.So, I went to the office today ( July 18) to pay holding deposit. I saw the model room again and I really liked the apartment because the model room and building were very clean. Also, it has the secured gate. After I signed and paid the holding deposit by USPS money order. I told her if I can see the building. She gave me a surprised face and told me that she is not able to come with me because she had another appointment.So I went to the building behind the model room first time. I was very suprised becasue the building was not on the same site of the clean apartment. Also, there is not secured gate. The building was ver dirty. It was completely diffrent from the model room building.I checked the brochure for this apartment. It states telephone entry system and privacy gates. My building does not have the entry system and gates. My question is, even though the resident agancy did not disclose all fact of the building and only showed the model room and the model room building, does she have a right to keep my holding deposit because I have already signed the holding deposit agreement. I live in San Jose, CA. Please give me advice. Thank you,
What does a Medical Software Programmer do and can I be one? Hi, I have heard of it and think I am interested. What do they do exactly? Here is my education and experience so far. Is it an option for me? I started off a computer engineering major. I have taken Programming I and II in Java and can write mid sized Java programs. I have Calculus I-IV. I then switched to Zoology because I like the biological sciences more and it can as an entry degree into healthcare. My work experience includes 9 years of computer and telephone systems repair for the government (not PCs) repair. My GPA won't be great and will hover somewhere around 2.6-3.2 when I graduate ( Mostly from a few Cs and Ds when I was in Engineering, I did do well in programming classes, though). I will be Graduating from OU next year (University of Oklahoma).

Pushy salesmen - how to complain? I got home from work this afternoon to find two men standing at the front door of our block of flats. It was pouring it down with rain and I just wanted to get home. As they were blocking the door, I stopped and faced them, and all the guy said was "what flat do you live in", there were no introductions, no name, no details. I said excuse me, I need to get in, he just repeated his question. I asked where he was from and he said he was from Npower and had come to save me money. I told him I wasnt interested, that I was happy with my current supplier, but still stood by the door. I pushed past them towards the door, and we have a coded door entry system as well as a yale lock on the main door, and i really didnt feel comfortable using the door code in front of them in case they let themselves in (which they have done before). I was cold, wet and feeling very pressured and uneasy about having two guys looming over me. Whilst I was fumbling for my keys, they still questioned me, and when I asked them to leave, they said they still had other homes to visit, I opened the door and closed it before he could step in, which I could see he was about to do. I ran up the stairs, locked the door and set about removing my wet coat and shoes. The internal intercom rang, and it was the two guys, asking for entry into the building to discuss their offers with the occupiers. I said, "i told you before, I'm not interested" and hung up. They didnt leave for a further 5 minutes, I could see them still standing on the doorstep. I am a 23 year old female, and I am usually quite confident about dealing with unwanted visitors and telephone calls, but they left me feeling so uncomfortable if i hadnt known better i'd have signed up to whatever they were offering just to get rid of them! Surely they're not allowed to treat potential customers like this? I felt so uncomfortable on my own doorstep, I really dont want them to call on me again. In the past 3 years we have had 4 visits (that I have been at home for anyway), and I have told them, over the intercom system, that I am not interested and can they please remove my details from the data base. On one previous occasion they managed to get into the main building, and were knocking at the flat door, when I opened the door, the guy let himself in, luckily my boyfriend was home and told him to leave. I didnt get any names because I was too flustered, so how do I go about complaining if I have no names or anything? Sorry this is so long, I'm so angry about it! I'm in the UK.

What is wrong in naming Bandra Worli Sea link Bridge as Rajiv Gandhi Setu? Why is Shiv Sena - BJP protesting? I saw a question on YA and I thought of repying that question, but unfortunately before I could answer, that answer was closed, thus I thought, why not keep my views, in my own question? I have read some news in media that Shiv Sena BJP combined are protesting against naming this bridge as Rajiv Gandhi Setu. Let me first of all explain there objection. There objection is not against Rajiv Gandhi, but there objection is against the origin of Rajiv Gandhi because he is non-Marathi. And there itself I have objection. Rajiv Gandhi was a Nation Leader, he was above Marathi, Gujarati, Bihari, Tamil or any other regional politics. I am fail to understand why is he dragged into this dirty regional politics? I clearly can feel that this question is being raised by Shiv Sena to only counter MNS pro-Marathi issues. There were some concerns in the previous about Rajiv Gandhi, as if what did he do for the Nation. I was little surprised to read those comments as well as some answers. Let me answer tell you what Rajiv Gandhi did in 5 years. 1. Educcation: Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya System: There are approximately 557 JNVs across India as of now. They offer free education to all students who get selected through the admission process which includes an All India Entrance Exam, held at district level. Talented students from each district are selected through an All India Level Entrance Exam conducted each year by CBSE and are given admission to 6th standard/class in the JNVs of respective districts. Till 1998, the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Selection Test (JNVST) was conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. The test is largely non-verbal and objective in nature and is designed to prevent any disadvantage to children from rural areas. Now admissions are also taken in Class IX and XI. During academic year 2008-09 admissions will be allowed in Class VIII. These admissions are conducted through an objective and descriptive test containing questions on English, Mathematics, Science, & Social Sciences. This "Lateral Entry" system is devised to fill the vacancies that arise due to withdrawal of admissions of the children who are admitted in class VI. And 80% of these admissions are reserved for rural students and 20% for urban. In 1986, Rajiv Gandhi announced a "national education policy" to modernize and expand higher education programs across India. 2. Telecommunication: Rajiv Gandhi is the one who brought revolution in the field of telecommunications in India. He not only started Public Call Office (PCO), that brought telephones in every home at affordable rate. Next he started STD and ISD that really made telephones affordable for general public. To make this possible, he brought Satyanarayan Gangaram Pitroda or Sam Pitroda to India from Chicago and started Center for Development of Telematics or C-DOT. Rajiv Gandhi, was the one who started Mahanagar Telephones Nigam LTD or MTNL and I don't have to describe that because all Indians know about that. Computer and Computer education both were brought to India by Mr. Gandhi. 3. Economics: The economic policies adopted by Rajiv Gandhi were different from his precursors like Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. Going, against the traditional socialism, Rajiv Gandhi decided to improve the bilateral relationships with the United States of America and subsequently expanded the economic and scientific cooperation with it. A revived foreign policy, emphasizing on the economic liberalization and information and technology moved India closer to the West. His introductory measures to reduce the "Red Tapism" and allow business house to set up their establishments was remarkable. Even lacking experience and only one term, major problems such as Punjab, and stabbing on the back by his colleagues such as Arun Nehru, V P Singh etc, if he has so many great achievements, he deserves our respects. I do agree that there were some problems with his this one terms, and which prime minister did not have problems? Why did Shiv Sena or BJP did not come up with a name before this Bridge was named as Rajiv Gandhi Setu? Actually I personally have strong opposition against Savarkar's name, due to MANY reasons, but one that I would like to mention is this one: This name is proposed to promote a regional division, and Mumbai does not belong to only Marathi. If Mumbai is Mumbai that is because of hard work of Indians and money invested by entire India. And the reason for proposing this name is not made up by me but given by the protesters themselves. Why didn't BJP propose propose Pt Deendayal Upadhyaya or Dr. Shyamapradad Mookarjee and in particular Dr. Mookarjee? Did Shiv Sena BJP oppose Mayawati, Kashiram's stetue in Lakhnow? Are we protesting only because we want to protest or we are really protesting against an issue? I am summarizing all the questions raised by all the users thus not naming anyone: - In my city Indore, I have gate build on a road, that is basically an obstacle to the traffic. This gate was build by then mayor of the city Kailash Vijayvargiv and current PWD minister who is eventually number 2 minister in MP state ministry. And that gate is named as Atal Dwar. This gate was build because Atal ji was visiting Indore at that time. I am sure Atal ji neither expects this kind of chamchagiri, nor he gives attention of these kind or nonsense. - Sam Pitroda was thrown out of Indian Government by Vishwanath Pratap Singh Government that was supported by BJP from outside. He was thrown out after disagreement with K.P. Unnikrishnan, the Minister for Telecommunication in V P Singh Government. He was brought in back by UPA government in 2004 as head of National Knowledge Commission. continued ..... - If any one thinks that any political party can get votes by naming roads and bridges by naming them on political leaders they are wrong. I do not think any one of us vote on this criteria. - I totally agree that any of national property should not be named after politicians. - I totally disagree and reject creating a regional nonsense on Mumbai issues. - I do not think Shiv Sena or BJP runs on Sharad Pawar's suggestions. They do use there own brain and apply for there own benefits. This issue is raised purely to secure Marathi Vote Bank and counter MNS. - Rajiv Gandhi has been cleared by all the corruption charges by court of Law, thus anyone raising that concern is insulting Indian court of law. continued ...... - Sharanagat ko Abhay. Rajiv Gandhi only tried to help a neighboring country on request, and that did not work well. In a war, one side wins and one side looses. As far as soldiers being killed is, the biggest consern should be the INTELLIGENCE failure during Vajapayee regime, that caused Indian soldiers in Kargil. If Vajapayee government would not have ignored the intelligence reports, intruders would not have occupied Indian land thus this war would not have happened. Rajiv got killed because he was a National Leader of India and was killed by Terrorists. He sacrificed his life for the Nation. - Whether he adopted Dr. Mukharjee's policies or any one elses, if something is good for the nation, should be adopted, what is wrong in that? What is there to criticize him in that? - I have seen at least 15 cities in USA and all of them have Dr. Martin Luthar King Jr. BLVD, and Washington BLVD, and I am sure the same in other countries. What is wrong if we have MG Road in Indian Cities? I am all in for bringing in a law to stop naming any national property on the name of any politician, but I would not accept any disgrace to any great politician whether that is Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookharjee, Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Pt Ravi Shankar Shukla, M K Gandhi, Nehru, Indira Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi.
can someone please proof-read my culmination project? It takes as little as an ampere to kill someone; however, electricians are often surrounded by up to 200 amperes daily. The job of electricians became important around 1881, when there was a big enough interest in lighting the streets such. Electricians have one of the most important jobs of all. They make sure that people have power, and that things that run off electricity are always working. Having no electricity can cost companies thousands of dollars. In hospitals when the electricity goes out, people's lives are at stake. Almost all electricians go through an apprenticeship, or on the job training. They will always be needed, because nothing can replace the work done by people inside homes and businesses. Electricians are responsible for installing, repairing and maintaining various types of electrical systems and structures. Even though electricity was discovered in the early 1700's, there was no such thing as an electrician until 1881. "Edison and other electrical inventors showed off their inventions at world fairs. Electricians were hired to operate the electrical parts at the expositions" (wois.org). Today, they mainly do the same thing. Except that it is not just in expositions. Now they repair and install electric systems in people's houses, in large factories, outside telephone wires, and skyscrapers. Electricians were the ones that made our daily lives as easy as they are now. An electricians work is not all cookie - cutter. It requires some amount of skill that cannot be taught in a classroom. "Less than 5% of all Washington state electricians have a bachelors degree or higher" (wois.org). Most of the electricians go through an apprenticeship program, following a two year professional - technical school. Then they attend a four year on-the-job apprenticeship. They may also be trained through the military. Training lasts for 25 weeks depending on their specialty. To become apprentice, they must have a high school diploma or GED. They must also have a college level algebra class with a "C" or better. To become professionally licensed, they must get a high score on an electrical trade's aptitude exam. They must also have 8000 hours under direct supervision of a journeyman - level electrician. 4000 of the hours must be industrial or commercial work. They may also obtain a license by equivalent verified training in the military if they pass the licensing test. Almost all of the fields in the service industry cannot be done by a robot. The electrical field is one of them. Half of becoming an electrician is knowledge, the other half consists of skills, abilities, and physical demands. Some of the demands vary from simple things like using their fingers to assemble small objects, to being physically active for long periods of time. Different types of abilities they need range from multitasking to judging cost, to having quick and accurate math skills. Being an electrician, there is not a lot of grueling, backbreaking work. It is mostly just wires and electrical components. It is usually a 40 hour a week schedule. Also there are many opportunities for overtime and on-call work. The national median yearly salary for electricians for $44,780. The benefits they receive vary by who they are hired for. Many jobs are found by electrical contractors, self employed, temporary worker agencies, and automobile manufacturers. "In addition to jobs created by the increased demand for electrical work, many openings are expected over the next decade as a large number of electricians retire" (bls.gov). There will be very many job opportunities for new electricians. The ones who have already been in the field will most likely take the place of the older, more expirienced workers who retire which will leave the entry openings available. A more exact statistic from wois (The Washington State Career Information System) states that; "Between 2006 and 2016, the number of new jobs to open up in this occupation in Washington State is expected to increase by 14.8%. It is estimated that 259 openings annually will be due to new positions, and 481 openings annually will be from workers leaving this occupation" (wois.org). So there should not be any problem for new workers to find a job when there are 740 jobs per year just in Washington State. Electricians are needed in every state, continent, and country. There would be many opportunities for moving to another place if the electrician wanted to travel. The person who I decided to be my live source for my culminating project was Seth Cooper. When Seth first started becoming an electrician he went to school for three hours a night, two days a week in Boise, Idaho. The rest of the time he was an apprentice working at a hospital making 50 percent of that of a journeyman electrician at the time, which was $12.25 an hour. The good part was that his schooling was paid for. He has been a journeyman electrician for five years now. He is hired by the Oregon Electric Group an

Injustic in our criminal system? As a citizen in these United States one can not tell a Policeman anything doing an encounter of any type. Try being arrested in your own home in the great state of Minnesota. When a plain clothes Police Officer Deputy Bradley Marquardt comes to your door. Without identifying himself, began beating and ringing the door bell as if a criminal trying to gain entry into your home. Please understand that this home is not in a high crime area but just the opposite, this home is in the upscale City of Woodbury, Minnesota. Now please also understand this female is taken from her home after only waving a knife out the door never leaving the inside of the house. While yelling get off my property, Deputy Bradley Marquardt lies and says the female stab and swung the knife at him while he is on the outside of the house. After the female called the police 911 she at gun point, was led away and charged with 2nd degree assault. There are only two individuals living in the home and both are placed at gun point by seven uniform Policemen who also enter the home with a K-9. A shotgun is placed at the head of the male resident of the home; the male resident is handcuffed and held at gun point while Deputy Bradley Marquardt searched the home without a warrant for which he could have gotten by telephone or written for. The wife is lead out of the house and placed under-arrest and charged with felony assault in the second degree. And after being arrested and bailed out of jail the wife goes to court and due to financial situations plead guilty to the charge of 2nd degree assault that states when you have completed and followed the court rulings to the letter and your state of resident puts in for your release you get it. Where is the shift due to the field of psychology probation officers to emphasis from moral leadership to therapeutic counseling? This shift brought three important changes. First, the officer no longer primarily acted as a community supervisor charged with enforcing a particular morality. Second, the officer became more of a clinical social worker whose goal was to help the offender solve psychological and social problems. Third, the offender was expected to become actively involved in the treatment. With the actions of Honorable Gregory G. Galler, probation officers hasn’t been able to carry out their duties according to law. To which a probation officer and parole office has no objections to the court rulings four years earlier and changes the charge four years later to the assault on a police officer. Rather than granting the wife her release. Under what circumstances probation officers can pursue a Judge to set-a-side the ruling of another Judge? What type of cases would allow such action to take place? The Judge Honorable Mary E. Carlson presiding over the case when such case was being brought before the court has made such ruling that when your state of residency put in for your release you get released. Can such a Judge Honorable Gregory G. Galler set presidents over Judge Mary E. Carlson’s Rulings? Are there laws constructional under the constitution of these United States? If so, where can such law be found, and what rule governs enactment of that law? This probation officer and staff members were present at this sentencing hearing and offered no objection four years ago so how and why can such action be taken now. Even the Lawyer Mr. Frederick J. Goetz for the defendant motions were not recognized doing sentencing stage. A motion to dismiss this case was offered but was overlooked and was placed in the transcript of the court. Again what type of Kangaroo court allowed in certain cases in these United States? Why did Brian Nickolas of Atlanta, GA take advantage of a jailer, kill a Judge, clerk, and police officers? How quickly have we forgotten Lee Malvo, John Allen Muhammad going on a few weeks killing spree? Try being a defendant in a court system in this country while knowing a police officer only has to tell a bald face lie. These criminal systems in this country will prosecute a offender to the full extent of the law. As 85% to 95% of most minorities in the criminal system today has lost their voting privileges due to the manufacturing of a lie by a policeman. Since DNA Science has advanced as it has today, look how many minorities have been released from prison? There has not been a study conducted and never will be of minorities that has not been in a prison who didn’t have an Attorney nor could afford an Attorney but has had enough knowledge to defend themselves. Only defending themselves from having to go to prison. But just like hurricane Kithira/Rita uncovered the unequal way minorities were treated in New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama. That same type of devastation will have to happen in the criminal system in this country. Now believe me when I say that this country hasn’t seen that and won’t face up to its wrong. But there is one thing I pray that Minorities come election time in 2006 and 2008 is paying attention to what God is showing the African Americans in this country. Look at the Immigration situation happening in this country right now, this country has been treating African Americans the same way for all this time African Americans has been in this country and African American were brought into this country. Yes, I also know that they are not listening or seeing God at work. Because if God has delivery African Americans from slavery and they can’t stand one another leads me to the verse of God’s word that says: “How can you say you love me God, with whom you can not see, when you can’t love your brother and sister with whom you see each and every day” That is why we are losing in the court systems of this country. Please could you help and answer just some the questions ask here????

is this good interview preparation, it's incomplete and need's work on it.? Where would you like to be in your career five years from now? In five years, I want to have gained solid experience and be developing my skills. Weaknesses What negative thing would you say about yourself? I have been paying close attention to my academic level and have decided to further my education. I have also been paying attention to the sort of work that interest’s me and have decided which area’s I want to pursue. What can you do for us that other candidates can't? Enthusiasm – I have always had the desire to work hard. Working long hours doesn’t bother me. I like to prioritise my workload. I have enjoyed all of the jobs in have done in the past. I like to choose my own routine of work. I like doing challenging tasks Such as:- Serving customers Answering the telephone Deliveries & Collections Making entries into the inventory Balancing the books Potential I have done this sort of work before and I am confident I can do an excellent job. I am prepared to set up the shop, for when new deliveries are on the way. I like to sell things efficiently, so that productivity is kept to a high standard. I like to give customers an insight to what the company is selling, this keeps up customer satisfaction, which means they will return on regular basis. I am comfortable with keeping regular contact with customers. I always make sure I greet the customers politely and treat them fairly. When dealing with a customer, I will endeavour to see to it, that they receive quality service. Commitment I like to keep all of my customers happy and like to show respect to my employers by paying attention to detail. Professionalism I am always polite to my customers and I always respond to their needs in a quick manner. Experience I have recently worked in a charity shop, which is an advantage, because I know how a shop should be prepared. I know how products should be displayed and I know how to provide excellent customer service. Attendance I like to be independent and always turn up at work on time. I will always notify my employers, when I have prior appointments. What Is a Weakness of Yours? I can be a passionate person and I endeavour to do a good job. I sometimes feel the need to push myself the extra mile and do far more than I should. What Do You Think of Your Last Boss? I thought my last boss was great. My last boss was a person who I hold in high regard. She taught me how to be wise, the meaning of showing others respect. She taught me how to deal with change and how to prioritise my workload. Tell Me About Yourself? I have strong organisational skills and I like a prioritised work pattern. I approach my work with enthusiastic attitude and I am prepared to put in the extra 150%. I like to pay attention to my work and communicate to others, how I want to do things. I work well with others. Doing things this way helps me form great working relationships and shows other people that I respect their wishes. Tell me about a project you worked on that required heavy analytical thinking? For the RSPCA, me and my supervisor where given a challenge of making £2000 in one week. We had analyse the situation, then we decided what we where going to do and then, take action. This is the result. Analysis: We thought about the best solutions of making a profit for the company. We both had good Ideas. Decision: What we decided to do in the end was. First we started a half price sale in both shops, which lasted a full week. Then we endeavoured to make flyers for both shops, to attract attention. Then we delivered the flyers to all of the shops in town. Having two shops to work in, made the difference, because we could sell the furniture and clothes in one shop and sell the clothes and bric a brac in the other. What made the task in hand much more achievable was the pricing system we used for the furniture. We decide to price to sofa’s, wall unit’s, futons, cabinets, welsh dressers, wardrobes etc @£60 or above. With the clothes, we priced those @£2 for evening wear, shoe. The leather jackets, were priced @£6, the trouser, skirts, tops, sweaters and blouses @£1. We had a lot of stock in that week, so we complete the task, with no trouble at all. Result. Doing this task brought me and my supervisor closer. We gained a few extra customers as well and people where coming to use, to find out about the company. Weaknesses? I generally don’t fail. I have identified the fact that I need more qualifications, so I have that, as well as finding a job. I am going to enrol on a few courses this year Why did you leave your last job?" I had a really good working relationship with all of my staff members, but there where there were a lot of new changes going on and my supervisor, decided it was time to part company. We had a new supervisor, who wanted to cut staff numbers. I was looking for a change myself and feel it’s time to face new challenges. What do you enjoy doing outside of work? For my previous job, I liked doing the deliveries. So I am hoping for opportunity of helping to display products in the shop. What are your strengths? I like the challenge of a demanding job. I like to be given a heavy workload. I am a flexible person. My previous job proves that I am capable of doing a job that is rewarding. I can multitask. In previous job I had to sometimes do several jobs at once. I had to do things like:- Clean the furniture and then vacuum the shop, at the same time. When we dealt with customers over the counter, we had a policy of dealing with the customer and then doing your previous duty. When customers wanted to know dates of events, like the yearly dog show, they would expect you to look at the calendar and serve them, at the same time. There are other strengths I have, for example. I can serve customers and watch the shop, at the same time. Why do you want to work here? What qualities do you think will be required for this job? What can you contribute? Why do you want to work for this company? What interests you about our product (or service)? What do you know about this company? Do you consider yourself successful? How long would you expect to work for us if hired? As long as we both feel I’m doing a good job. Describe your work ethic? Determination to get the job done and work hard but enjoy your work How would you know you were successful on this job? You set high standards for yourself and meet them Are you willing to work overtime? Nights? Weekends? What motivates you to do your best on the job? What is more important to you: the money or the work? Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better answer. What would your previous supervisor say your strongest point is? There are numerous good possibilities: Loyalty, Energy, Positive attitude, Leadership, Team player, Expertise, Initiative, Patience, Hard work, Creativity, Problem solver Explain how you would be an asset to this organization? Interview Questions Who will I report to? What do you expect me to do in the first 6 months? What level of performance do you expect from me? What training do you provide? When will you decide on the appointment?

Do you agree with LA RAZA Immigration Bill ‘Would Make Living in Arizona a Police State’? CNSNews.com) – The head of the National Council of LaRaza pleaded with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer Thursday not to sign into law a bill that could become the toughest immigration statute in the nation. “It perpetuates the fantasy that we can detain and deport millions of people from our country as a solution to our immigration problems and it propagates the notion that immigrants who are working hard in the Arizona economy are a criminal element to be rounded up and incarcerated,” LaRaza President and CEO Janet Murguia said during a telephone news conference. The bill, which could be signed into law by the weekend, would grant police the ability to check the legal status of people they reasonably suspect are illegal immigrants. “(I)t will make living in Arizona a police state for Hispanic Americans and legal residents,” she said. Murguia, head of one of the nation’s largest Hispanic advocate organizations, accused the bill of promoting racism – and said it was sure to lead to racial profiling. “Do I, because my name is Murguia, have to carry papers now to prove my right to be here when I visit Arizona?” she asked. But Brian Griffith, spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies, said Arizona is attempting to do on the state level what the federal government should be, but is failing to do: control the border. “Obviously, we want a system that protects the United States from illegal immigrants coming across the border, and also coming across through visas, so you need border controls – internal controls,” Griffith told CNSNews.com. “The best case scenario is to have the federal government make those controls –and have them work. However, in this case, Arizona is filling the void of the federal government’s failure to assume responsibility,” Griffith said. “The point isn’t to deport millions of illegals all at once – the point is to make it an unattractive option for illegals to come, to begin with,” he added. “Obviously, not all illegal immigrants in Arizona are ‘criminal elements’ -- outside of their illegal entry; but at the same time, that does not give them the right to be residents of Arizona,” Griffith said. “So you need laws to deter that fact.” The Arizona law is not designed, he said, to allow police to check IDs just to find out the immigration status of an individual -- Hispanic or otherwise – simply for the sake of doing so. “They have to be committing some kind of criminal act,” he added. Griffith said he believes that Arizona would be extremely careful in how it utilizes the law. "They (Arizona authorities) don’t want to be seen as racially profiling people," he told CNSNews.com. "They want to use that law responsibly so they can continue to use it.” Murguia and other civil rights leaders, meantime, promised immediate court challenges if the Arizona bill becomes law http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/64596
60 days a mistake or...........................? Read this article from 7starsdubai.weblog!! This happened to me too on 27 Febr. and had to pay 2000 uad fines. I got a STAMPED 60 days visit visa on 31 Dec.2008 in my passport.As said in the article I wrote an email to amer@dnrd.ae to ask for compassion and a refund. DUBAI // Some visitors to the UAE are facing heavy fines upon leaving the country because of erroneous official stamps in their passports. Under the rule changes introduced last July, all visit visas are now valid for 30 days instead of 60. Yet number visitors since then have been given stamps in their passports showing 60-day validity. “I came in on Dec 28 and was given a visa at the airport that says ‘60 days from date of entry’,” said Anne, a British citizen. “I left 43 days later but was stopped at passport control and told that there were no more 60-day visas. The man said they were all 30 days, and I had to pay an Dh800 (US$218) fine. I wasn’t the only one; the people in front of me were having to pay Dh3,000. It was lucky that I had just enough cash on me or I would have missed my flight.”She said she was offered no explanation about when or why the rules had changed.“I asked how I was supposed to know that what was written in my passport was incorrect and was told that I should have read the newspapers,” she said. “It’s very unclear and seems harsh.” Even the British Embassy admits to some confusion. A notice on the website of the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office says: “The length of visit visas given to visitors on arrival changed with effect January 1 2009. The Ministry of Immigration has told us verbally, but not confirmed in writing, that British nationals will get a 30-day visa on arrival.” Nationals of 33 countries, including most of Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, get their initial 30-day visa free, and are also given a 10-day grace period during which they can pay to extend the visa by another 30 days. Citizens of other countries have to pay on arrival and cannot extend their stays. Jerome, who holds Italian and Swiss passports, was fined at the border when driving to Oman for a day trip. “The immigration officer said I had overstayed, despite the fact that my visa said 60 days and I was well within that time,” he said. “In order to leave I had to pay Dh1,300. The official just said the rules had changed and that what it said in my passport did not count.” Jerome said he went to different offices of the Department of Naturalisation and Residency – Dubai (DNRD) trying to get a refund. “But nobody seemed to know what was going on,” he said. “Eventually I was told to submit a complaint online. I just don’t understand why I was fined. I’m not in this country to break the law; if I had known my visa was only valid for 30 days, I would have left within that time.” The DNRD said 60-day visa stamps were no longer being used. “Since July 2008, the system has seen a large-scale change, and some errors were bound to happen,” said Major Gen Mohammed al Marri, the director general of the DNRD. “If it is a human error by one of our employees, we will do our best to rectify it on a case-by-case basis, and if it is a lack of understanding of the regulations, our call-centre staff would be happy to offer the correct information.” Gen al Marri urged people with complaints to get in touch with the DNRD either by telephone (800 5111) or by e-mail (amer@dnrd.ae). Complaints can also be made on the internet at www.amer.ae. Information on the various types of visas is at www.dnrd.ae.

You are responsible for claiming any prizes that you may win as further described below. The receipt of emails from FreeLotto is required for your participation in and to claim prizes in FreeLotto games. You will be notified during game play if the email address you submitted will enable you to claim your prizes. If your email address does not meet these requirements, you will be given an opportunity to submit an alternate email address. Some internet service providers such as Yahoo and Hotmail.com provide free e-mail services. Some companies provide free internet access and may also be available at your public library. Each day a certain number of ads or questions will be posted at the game site that will remain on the site all or part of that day. To submit your entries for the daily contests, choose your numbers for each of the FreeLotto® games you are eligible to enter each day and choose a sponsor to visit by clicking on its banner ad, or answer a multiple choice question. You may submit one entry for each game available to you on a given day. You may also increase the number of banner ads available to you by answering questions regarding your buying preferences. Your answers will determine if some advertisers who seek to selectively advertise their products will display their ads to you. (Example: if you indicate an interest in fishing, fishing related ads may appear on your FreeLotto® game page). You may enter once from each ad or question but you are limited to one entry per FreeLotto game per day.) 2. Players have the opportunity to play the 6 consecutive FreeLotto® games consisting of FreeLotto, FreeLotto Win A Car, FreeLotto Pay Off your Mortgage, FreeLotto FastCash, FreeLotto $100,000 GiveAway and FreeLotto SuperBucks each day.

The 5 games that follow Classic FreeLotto® are FreeLotto Win A Car, FreeLotto Pay Off your Mortgage, FreeLotto FastCash, FreeLotto $100,000 GiveAway and FreeLotto SuperBucks. From time to time the FreeLotto games may be offered individually or out of sequence. In such instances all other provisions of the FreeLotto Game Rules apply. 3. How to Play FreeLotto Games: a. Classic FreeLotto 1. To enter the daily Classic FreeLotto® sweepstakes, you will need to pick 6 different numbers between 1 and 54, with no duplicates. This can be done by one of three methods: (a) pick 6 unique numbers; (b) allow the computer to pick the numbers (referred to as a "Quick Pick"); or (c) designate and save 6 numbers as "Favorites" which can be automatically selected instead of selecting unique numbers each time you enter; or (d) click on “Hot Numbers” which allows the computer to pick your numbers based on the most common drawn winning numbers. Each day, six (6) Classic FreeLotto winning numbers between one 1 and 54 will be selected at random via a random ball drop lottery machine at around 5:00 PM Eastern Time (New York Time). These numbers will be matched against all entries received between 3:00:01 PM Eastern Time (New York Time) the previous day and 3:00 PM Eastern Time (New York Time) that day. The winning numbers will be posted after the drawing on the FreeLotto® website. 2.

Jews of Iraq? What about them? Of course I thought I knew it all back then. I was young, idealistic, and more than willing to put my life at risk for my convictions. It was 1947 and I wasn't quite 18 when the Iraqi authorities caught me for smuggling young Iraqi Jews like myself out of Iraq, into Iran, and then on to the Promised Land of the soon-to-be established Israel. I was an Iraqi Jew in the Zionist underground. My Iraqi jailers did everything they could to extract the names of my co-conspirators. Fifty years later, pain still throbs in my right toe-a reminder of the day my captors used pliers to remove my toenails. On another occasion, they hauled me to the flat roof of the prison, stripped me bare on a frigid January day, then threw a bucket of cold water over me. I was left there, chained to the railing, for hours. But I never once considered giving them the information they wanted. I was a true believer. My preoccupation during what I refer to as my "two years in hell" was with survival and escape. I had no interest then in the broad sweep of Jewish history in Iraq even though my family had been part of it right from the beginning. We were originally Haroons, a large and important family of the "Babylonian Diaspora." My ancestors had settled in Iraq more than 2,600 years ago-600 years before Christianity, and 1,200 years before Islam. I am descended from Jews who built the tomb of Yehezkel, a Jewish prophet of pre-biblical times. My town, where I was born in 1929, is Hillah, not far from the ancient site of Babylon. The original Jews found Babylon, with its nourishing Tigris and Euphrates rivers, to be truly a land of milk, honey, abundance-and opportunity. Although Jews, like other minorities in what became Iraq, experienced periods of oppression and discrimination depending on the rulers of the period, their general trajectory over two and one-half millennia was upward. Under the late Ottoman rule, for example, Jewish social and religious institutions, schools, and medical facilities flourished without outside interference, and Jews were prominent in government and business. As I sat there in my cell, unaware that a death sentence soon would be handed down against me, I could not have recounted any personal grievances that my family members would have lodged against the government or the Muslim majority. Our family had been treated well and had prospered, first as farmers with some 50,000 acres devoted to rice, dates and Arab horses. Then, with the Ottomans, we bought and purified gold that was shipped to Istanbul and turned into coinage. The Turks were responsible in fact for changing our name to reflect our occupation-we became Khalaschi, meaning "Makers of Pure." I did not volunteer the information to my father that I had joined the Zionist underground. He found out several months before I was arrested when he saw me writing Hebrew and using words and expressions unfamiliar to him. He was even more surprised to learn that, yes, I had decided I would soon move to Israel myself. He was scornful. "You'll come back with your tail between your legs," he predicted. About 125,000 Jews left Iraq for Israel in the late 1940s and into 1952, most because they had been lied to and put into a panic by what I came to learn were Zionist bombs. But my mother and father were among the 6,000 who did not go to Israel. Although physically I never did return to Iraq-that bridge had been burned in any event-my heart has made the journey there many, many times. My father had it right. I was imprisoned at the military camp of Abu-Greib, about 7 miles from Baghdad. When the military court handed down my sentence of death by hanging, I had nothing to lose by attempting the escape I had been planning for many months. It was a strange recipe for an escape: a dab of butter, an orange peel, and some army clothing that I had asked a friend to buy for me at a flea market. I deliberately ate as much bread as I could to put on fat in anticipation of the day I became 18, when they could formally charge me with a crime and attach the 50-pound ball and chain that was standard prisoner issue. Later, after my leg had been shackled, I went on a starvation diet that often left me weak-kneed. The pat of butter was to lubricate my leg in preparation for extricating it from the metal band. The orange peel I surreptitiously stuck into the lock on the night of my planned escape, having studied how it could be placed in such a way as to keep the lock from closing. As the jailers turned to go after locking up, I put on the old army issue that was indistinguishable from what they were wearing-a long, green coat and a stocking cap that I pulled down over much of my face (it was winter). Then I just quietly opened the door and joined the departing group of soldiers as they strode down the hall and outside, and I offered a "good night" to the shift guard as I left. A friend with a car was waiting to speed me away. Later I made my way to the new state of Israel, arriving in May, 1950. My passport had my name in Arabic and English, but the English couldn't capture the "kh" sound, so it was rendered simply as Klaski. At the border, the immigration people applied the English version, which had an Eastern European, Ashkenazi ring to it. In one way, this "mistake" was my key to discovering very soon just how the Israeli caste system worked. They asked me where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. I was the son of a farmer; I knew all the problems of the farm, so I volunteered to go to Dafnah, a farming kibbutz in the high Galilee. I only lasted a few weeks. The new immigrants were given the worst of everything. The food was the same, but that was the only thing that everyone had in common. For the immigrants, bad cigarettes, even bad toothpaste. Everything. I left. Then, through the Jewish Agency, I was advised to go to al-Majdal (later renamed Ashkelon), an Arab town about 9 miles from Gaza, very close to the Mediterranean. The Israeli government planned to turn it into a farmers' city, so my farm background would be an asset there. When I reported to the Labor Office in al-Majdal, they saw that I could read and write Arabic and Hebrew and they said that I could find a good-paying job with the Military Governor's office. The Arabs were under the authority of these Israeli Military Governors. A clerk handed me a bunch of forms in Arabic and Hebrew. Now it dawned on me. Before Israel could establish its farmers' city, it had to rid al-Majdal of its indigenous Palestinians. The forms were petitions to the United Nations Inspectors asking for transfer out of Israel to Gaza, which was under Egyptian control. I read over the petition. In signing, the Palestinian would be saying that he was of sound mind and body and was making the request for transfer free of pressure or duress. Of course, there was no way that they would leave without being pressured to do so. These families had been there hundreds of years, as farmers, primitive artisans, weavers. The Military Governor prohibited them from pursuing their livelihoods, just penned them up until they lost hope of resuming their normal lives. That's when they signed to leave. I was there and heard their grief. "Our hearts are in pain when we look at the orange trees that we planted with our own hands. Please let us go, let us give water to those trees. God will not be pleased with us if we leave His trees untended." I asked the Military Governor to give them relief, but he said, "No, we want them to leave." I could no longer be part of this oppression and I left. Those Palestinians who didn't sign up for transfers were taken by force-just put in trucks and dumped in Gaza. About four thousand people were driven from al-Majdal in one way or another. The few who remained were collaborators with the Israeli authorities. Subsequently, I wrote letters trying to get a government job elsewhere and I got many immediate responses asking me to come for an interview. Then they would discover that my face didn't match my Polish/Ashkenazi name. They would ask if I spoke Yiddish or Polish, and when I said I didn't, they would ask where I came by a Polish name. Desperate for a good job, I would usually say that I thought my great-grandfather was from Poland. I was advised time and again that "we'll give you a call." Eventually, three to four years after coming to Israel, I changed my name to Giladi, which is close to the code name, Gilad, that I had in the Zionist underground. Klaski wasn't doing me any good anyway, and my Eastern friends were always chiding me about the name they knew didn't go with my origins as an Iraqi Jew. I was disillusioned at what I found in the Promised Land, disillusioned personally, disillusioned at the institutionalized racism, disillusioned at what I was beginning to learn about Zionism's cruelties. The principal interest Israel had in Jews from Islamic countries was as a supply of cheap labor, especially for the farm work that was beneath the urbanized Eastern European Jews. Ben Gurion needed the "Oriental" Jews to farm the thousands of acres of land left by Palestinians who were driven out by Israeli forces in 1948. And I began to find out about the barbaric methods used to rid the fledgling state of as many Palestinians as possible. The world recoils today at the thought of bacteriological warfare, but Israel was probably the first to actually use it in the Middle East. In the 1948 war, Jewish forces would empty Arab villages of their populations, often by threats, sometimes by just gunning down a half-dozen unarmed Arabs as examples to the rest. To make sure the Arabs couldn't return to make a fresh life for themselves in these villages, the Israelis put typhus and dysentery bacteria into the water wells. Uri Mileshtin, an official historian for the Israeli Defense Force, has written and spoken about the use of bacteriological agents. According to Mileshtin, Moshe Dayan, a division commander at the time, gave orders in 1948 to remove Arabs from their villages, bulldoze their homes, and render water wells unusable with typhus and dysentery bacteria. Acre was so situated that it could practically defend itself with one big gun, so the Haganah put bacteria into the spring that fed the town. The spring was called Capri and it ran from the north near a kibbutz. The Haganah put typhus bacteria into the water going to Acre, the people got sick, and the Jewish forces occupied Acre. This worked so well that they sent a Haganah division dressed as Arabs into Gaza, where there were Egyptian forces, and the Egyptians caught them putting two cans of bacteria, typhus and dysentery, into the water supply in wanton disregard of the civilian population. "In war, there is no sentiment," one of the captured Haganah men was quoted as saying. My activism in Israel began shortly after I received a letter from the Socialist/Zionist Party asking me to help with their Arabic newspaper. When I showed up at their offices at Central House in Tel Aviv, I asked around to see just where I should report. I showed the letter to a couple of people there and, without even looking at it, they would motion me away with the words, "Room No. 8." When I saw that they weren't even reading the letter, I inquired of several others. But the response was the same, "Room No. 8," with not a glance at the paper I put in front of them. So I went to Room 8 and saw that it was the Department of Jews from Islamic Countries. I was disgusted and angry. Either I am a member of the party or I'm not. Do I have a different ideology or different politics because I am an Arab Jew? It's segregation, I thought, just like a Negroes' Department. I turned around and walked out. That was the start of my open protests. That same year I organized a demonstration in Ashkelon against Ben Gurion's racist policies and 10,000 people turned out. There wasn't much opportunity for those of us who were second class citizens to do much about it when Israel was on a war footing with outside enemies. After the 1967 war, I was in the Army myself and served in the Sinai when there was continued fighting along the Suez Canal. But the cease-fire with Egypt in 1970 gave us our opening. We took to the streets and organized politically to demand equal rights. If it's our country, if we were expected to risk our lives in a border war, then we expected equal treatment. We mounted the struggle so tenaciously and received so much publicity that the Israeli government tried to discredit our movement by calling us "Israel's Black Panthers." They were thinking in racist terms, really, in assuming the Israeli public would reject an organization whose ideology was being compared to that of radical blacks in the United States. But we saw that what we were doing was no different than what blacks in the United States were fighting against-segregation, discrimination, unequal treatment. Rather than reject the label, we adopted it proudly. I had posters of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela and other civil rights activists plastered all over my office. With the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the Israeli-condoned Sabra and Shatilla massacres, I had had enough of Israel. I became a United States citizen and made certain to revoke my Israeli citizenship. I could never have written and published my book in Israel, not with the censorship they would impose. Even in America, I had great difficulty finding a publisher because many are subject to pressures of one kind or another from Israel and its friends. I ended up paying $60,000 from my own pocket to publish Ben Gurion's Scandals: How the Haganah & the Mossad Eliminated Jews, virtually the entire proceeds from having sold my house in Israel. I still was afraid that the printer would back out or that legal proceedings would be initiated to stop its publication, like the Israeli government did in an attempt to prevent former Mossad case officer Victor Ostrovsky from publishing his first book. Ben Gurion's Scandals had to be translated into English from two languages. I wrote in Hebrew when I was in Israel and hoped to publish the book there, and I wrote in Arabic when I was completing the book after coming to the U.S. But I was so worried that something would stop publication that I told the printer not to wait for the translations to be thoroughly checked and proofread. Now I realize that the publicity of a lawsuit would just have created a controversial interest in the book. I am using bank vault storage for the valuable documents that back up what I have written. These documents, including some that I illegally copied from the archives at Yad Vashem, confirm what I saw myself, what I was told by other witnesses, and what reputable historians and others have written concerning the Zionist bombings in Iraq, Arab peace overtures that were rebuffed, and incidents of violence and death inflicted by Jews on Jews in the cause of creating Israel. The Riots of 1941 If, as I have said, my family in Iraq was not persecuted personally and I knew no deprivation as a member of the Jewish minority, what led me to the steps of the gallows as a member of the Zionist underground? To answer that question, it is necessary to establish the context of the massacre that occurred in Baghdad on June 1, 1941, when several hundred Iraqi Jews were killed in riots involving junior officers of the Iraqi army. I was 12 years of age and many of those killed were my friends. I was angry, and very confused. What I didn't know at the time was that the riots most likely were stirred up by the British, in collusion with a pro-British Iraqi leadership. With the breakup of the Ottoman Empire following WW I, Iraq came under British "tutelage." Amir Faisal, son of Sharif Hussein who had led the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman sultan, was brought in from Mecca by the British to become King of Iraq in 1921. Many Jews were appointed to key administrative posts, including that of economics minister. Britain retained final authority over domestic and external affairs. Britain's pro-Zionist attitude in Palestine, however, triggered a growing anti-Zionist backlash in Iraq, as it did in all Arab countries. Writing at the end of 1934, Sir Francis Humphreys, Britain's Ambassador in Baghdad, noted that, while before WW I Iraqi Jews had enjoyed a more favorable position than any other minority in the country, since then "Zionism has sown dissension between Jews and Arabs, and a bitterness has grown up between the two peoples which did not previously exist." King Faisal died in 1933. He was succeeded by his son Ghazi, who died in a motor car accident in 1939. The crown then passed to Ghazi's 4-year-old son, Faisal II, whose uncle, Abd al-Ilah, was named regent. Abd al-Ilah selected Nouri el-Said as prime minister. El-Said supported the British and, as hatred of the British grew, he was forced from office in March 1940 by four senior army officers who advocated Iraq's independence from Britain. Calling themselves the Golden Square, the officers compelled the regent to name as prime minister Rashid Ali al-Kilani, leader of the National Brotherhood party. The time was 1940 and Britain was reeling from a strong German offensive. Al-Kilani and the Golden Square saw this as their opportunity to rid themselves of the British once and for all. Cautiously they began to negotiate for German support, which led the pro-British regent Abd al-Ilah to dismiss al-Kilani in January 1941. By April, however, the Golden Square officers had reinstated the prime minister. This provoked the British to send a military force into Basra on April 12, 1941. Basra, Iraq's second largest city, had a Jewish population of 30,000. Most of these Jews made their livings from import/export, money changing, retailing, as workers in the airports, railways, and ports, or as senior government employees. On the same day, April 12, supporters of the pro-British regent notified the Jewish leaders that the regent wanted to meet with them. As was their custom, the leaders brought flowers for the regent. Contrary to custom, however, the cars that drove them to the meeting place dropped them off at the site where the British soldiers were concentrated. Photographs of the Jews appeared in the following day's newspapers with the banner "Basra Jews Receive British Troops with Flowers." That same day, April 13, groups of angry Arab youths set about to take revenge against the Jews. Several Muslim notables in Basra heard of the plan and calmed things down. Later, it was learned that the regent was not in Basra at all and that the matter was a provocation by his pro-British supporters to bring about an ethnic war in order to give the British army a pretext to intervene. The British continued to land more forces in and around Basra. On May 7, 1941, their Gurkha unit, composed of Indian soldiers from that ethnic group, occupied Basra's el-Oshar quarter, a neighborhood with a large Jewish population. The soldiers, led by British officers, began looting. Many shops in the commercial district were plundered. Private homes were broken into. Cases of attempted rape were reported. Local residents, Jews and Muslims, responded with pistols and old rifles, but their bullets were no match for the soldiers' Tommy Guns. Afterwards, it was learned that the soldiers acted with the acquiescence, if not the blessing, of their British commanders. (It should be remembered that the Indian soldiers, especially those of the Gurkha unit, were known for their discipline, and it is highly unlikely they would have acted so riotously without orders.) The British goal clearly was to create chaos and to blacken the image of the pro-nationalist regime in Baghdad, thereby giving the British forces reason to proceed to the capital and to overthrow the al-Kilani government. Baghdad fell on May 30. Al-Kilani fled to Iran, along with the Golden Square officers. Radio stations run by the British reported that Regent Abd al-Ilah would be returning to the city and that thousands of Jews and others were planning to welcome him. What inflamed young Iraqis against the Jews most, however, was the radio announcer Yunas Bahri on the German station "Berlin," who reported in Arabic that Jews from Palestine were fighting alongside the British against Iraqi soldiers near the city of Faluja. The report was false. On Sunday, June 1, unarmed fighting broke out in Baghdad between Jews who were still celebrating their Shabuoth holiday and young Iraqis who thought the Jews were celebrating the return of the pro-British regent. That evening, a group of Iraqis stopped a bus, removed the Jewish passengers, murdered one and fatally wounded a second. About 8:30 the following morning, some 30 individuals in military and police uniforms opened fire along el-Amin street, a small downtown street whose jewelry, tailor and grocery shops were Jewish-owned. By 11 a.m., mobs of Iraqis with knives, switchblades and clubs were attacking Jewish homes in the area. The riots continued throughout Monday, June 2. During this time, many Muslims rose to defend their Jewish neighbors, while some Jews successfully defended themselves. There were 124 killed and 400 injured, according to a report written by a Jewish Agency messenger who was in Iraq at the time. Other estimates, possibly less reliable, put the death toll higher, as many as 500, with from 650 to 2,000 injured. From 500 to 1,300 stores and more than 1,000 homes and apartments were looted. Who was behind the rioting in the Jewish quarter? Yosef Meir, one of the most prominent activists in the Zionist underground movement in Iraq, known then as Yehoshafat, claims it was the British. Meir, who now works for the Israeli Defense Ministry, argues that, in order to make it appear that the regent was returning as the savior who would reestablish law and order, the British stirred up the riots against the most vulnerable and visible segment in the city, the Jews. And, not surprisingly, the riots ended as soon as the regent's loyal soldiers entered the capital. My own investigations as a journalist lead me to believe Meir is correct. Furthermore, I think his claims should be seen as based on documents in the archives of the Israeli Defense Ministry, the agency that published his book. Yet, even before his book came out, I had independent confirmation from a man I met in Iran in the late Forties. His name was Michael Timosian, an Iraqi Armenian. When I met him he was working as a male nurse at the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company in Abadan in the south of Iran. On June 2, 1941, however, he was working at the Baghdad hospital where many of the riot victims were brought. Most of these victims were Jews. Timosian said he was particularly interested in two patients whose conduct did not follow local custom. One had been hit by a bullet in his shoulder, the other by a bullet in his right knee. After the doctor removed the bullets, the staff tried to change their blood-soaked cloths. But the two men fought off their efforts, pretending to be speechless, although tests showed they could hear. To pacify them, the doctor injected them with anesthetics and, as they were sleeping, Timosian changed their cloths. He discovered that one of them had around his neck an identification tag of the type used by British troops, while the other had tattoos with Indian script on his right arm along with the familiar sword of the Gurkha. The next day when Timosian showed up for work, he was told that a British officer, his sergeant and two Indian Gurkha soldiers had come to the hospital early that morning. Staff members overheard the Gurkha soldiers talking with the wounded patients, who were not as dumb as they had pretended. The patients saluted the visitors, covered themselves with sheets and, without signing the required release forms, left the hospital with their visitors. Today there is no doubt in my mind that the anti-Jewish riots of 1941 were orchestrated by the British for geopolitical ends. David Kimche is certainly a man who was in a position to know the truth, and he has spoken publicly about British culpability. Kimche had been with British Intelligence during WW II and with the Mossad after the war. Later he became Director General of Israel's Foreign Ministry, the position he held in 1982 when he addressed a forum at the British Institute for International Affairs in London. In responding to hostile questions about Israel's invasion of Lebanon and the refugee camp massacres in Beirut, Kimche went on the attack, reminding the audience that there was scant concern in the British Foreign Office when British Gurkha units participated in the murder of 500 Jews in the streets of Baghdad in 1941. The Bombings of 1950-1951 The anti-Jewish riots of 1941 did more than create a pretext for the British to enter Baghdad to reinstate the pro-British regent and his pro-British prime minister, Nouri el-Said. They also gave the Zionists in Palestine a pretext to set up a Zionist underground in Iraq, first in Baghdad, then in other cities such as Basra, Amara, Hillah, Diwaneia, Abril and Karkouk. Following WW II, a succession of governments held brief power in Iraq. Zionist conquests in Palestine, particularly the massacre of Palestinians in the village of Deir Yassin, emboldened the anti-British movement in Iraq. When the Iraqi government signed a new treaty of friendship with London in January 1948, riots broke out all over the country. The treaty was quickly abandoned and Baghdad demanded removal of the British military mission that had run Iraq's army for 27 years. Later in 1948, Baghdad sent an army detachment to Palestine to fight the Zionists, and when Israel declared independence in May, Iraq closed the pipeline that fed its oil to Haifa's refinery. Abd al-Ilah, however, was still regent and the British quisling, Nouri el-Said, was back as prime minister. I was in the Abu-Greib prison in 1948, where I would remain until my escape to Iran in September 1949. Six months later-the exact date was March 19, 1950-a bomb went off at the American Cultural Center and Library in Baghdad, causing property damage and injuring a number of people. The center was a favorite meeting place for young Jews. The first bomb thrown directly at Jews occurred on April 8, 1950, at 9:15 p.m. A car with three young passengers hurled the grenade at Baghdad's El-Dar El-Bida Café, where Jews were celebrating Passover. Four people were seriously injured. That night leaflets were distributed calling on Jews to leave Iraq immediately. The next day, many Jews, most of them poor with nothing to lose, jammed emigration offices to renounce their citizenship and to apply for permission to leave for Israel. So many applied, in fact, that the police had to open registration offices in Jewish schools and synagogues. On May 10, at 3 a.m., a grenade was tossed in the direction of the display window of the Jewish-owned Beit-Lawi Automobile Company, destroying part of the building. No casualties were reported. On June 3, 1950, another grenade was tossed from a speeding car in the El-Batawin area of Baghdad where most rich Jews and middle class Iraqis lived. No one was hurt, but following the explosion Zionist activists sent telegrams to Israel requesting that the quota for immigration from Iraq be increased. On June 5, at 2:30 a.m., a bomb exploded next to the Jewish-owned Stanley Shashua building on El-Rashid street, resulting in property damage but no casualties. On January 14, 1951, at 7 p.m., a grenade was thrown at a group of Jews outside the Masouda Shem-Tov Synagogue. The explosive struck a high-voltage cable, electrocuting three Jews, one a young boy, Itzhak Elmacher, and wounding over 30 others. Following the attack, the exodus of Jews jumped to between 600-700 per day. Zionist propagandists still maintain that the bombs in Iraq were set off by anti-Jewish Iraqis who wanted Jews out of their country. The terrible truth is that the grenades that killed and maimed Iraqi Jews and damaged their property were thrown by Zionist Jews. Among the most important documents in my book, I believe, are copies of two leaflets published by the Zionist underground calling on Jews to leave Iraq. One is dated March 16, 1950, the other April 8, 1950. The difference between these two is critical. Both indicate the date of publication, but only the April 8th leaflet notes the time of day: 4 p.m. Why the time of day? Such a specification was unprecedented. Even the investigating judge, Salaman El-Beit, found it suspicious. Did the 4 p.m. writers want an alibi for a bombing they knew would occur five hours later? If so, how did they know about the bombing? The judge concluded they knew because a connection existed between the Zionist underground and the bomb throwers. This, too, was the conclusion of Wilbur Crane Eveland, a former senior officer in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), whom I had the opportunity to meet in New York in 1988. In his book, Ropes of Sand, whose publication the CIA opposed, Eveland writes: In attempts to portray the Iraqis as anti-American and to terrorize the Jews, the Zionists planted bombs in the U.S. Information Service library and in synagogues. Soon leaflets began to appear urging Jews to flee to Israel. . . . Although the Iraqi police later provided our embassy with evidence to show that the synagogue and library bombings, as well as the anti-Jewish and anti-American leaflet campaigns, had been the work of an underground Zionist organization, most of the world believed reports that Arab terrorism had motivated the flight of the Iraqi Jews whom the Zionists had "rescued" really just in order to increase Israel's Jewish population." Eveland doesn't detail the evidence linking the Zionists to the attacks, but in my book I do. In 1955, for example, I organized in Israel a panel of Jewish attorneys of Iraqi origin to handle claims of Iraqi Jews who still had property in Iraq. One well known attorney, who asked that I not give his name, confided in me that the laboratory tests in Iraq had confirmed that the anti-American leaflets found at the American Cultural Center bombing were typed on the same typewriter and duplicated on the same stenciling machine as the leaflets distributed by the Zionist movement just before the April 8th bombing. Tests also showed that the type of explosive used in the Beit-Lawi attack matched traces of explosives found in the suitcase of an Iraqi Jew by the name of Yosef Basri. Basri, a lawyer, together with Shalom Salih, a shoemaker, would be put on trial for the attacks in December 1951 and executed the following month. Both men were members of Hashura, the military arm of the Zionist underground. Salih ultimately confessed that he, Basri and a third man, Yosef Habaza, carried out the attacks. By the time of the executions in January 1952, all but 6,000 of an estimated 125,000 Iraqi Jews had fled to Israel. Moreover, the pro-British, pro-Zionist puppet el-Said saw to it that all of their possessions were frozen, including their cash assets. (There were ways of getting Iraqi dinars out, but when the immigrants went to exchange them in Israel they found that the Israeli government kept 50 percent of the value.) Even those Iraqi Jews who had not registered to emigrate, but who happened to be abroad, faced loss of their nationality if they didn't return within a specified time. An ancient, cultured, prosperous community had been uprooted and its people transplanted to a land dominated by East European Jews, whose culture was not only foreign but entirely hateful to them. The Ultimate Criminals Zionist Leaders. From the start they knew that in order to establish a Jewish state they had to expel the indigenous Palestinian population to the neighboring Islamic states and import Jews from these same states. * Theodor Herzl, the architect of Zionism, thought it could be done by social engineering. In his diary entry for 12 June 1885, he wrote that Zionist settlers would have to "spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country." * Vladimir Jabotinsky, Prime Minister Netanyahu's ideological progenitor, frankly admitted that such a transfer of populations could only be brought about by force. * David Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, told a Zionist Conference in 1937 that any proposed Jewish state would have to "transfer Arab populations out of the area, if possible of their own free will, if not by coercion." After 750,000 Palestinians were uprooted and their lands confiscated in 1948-49, Ben Gurion had to look to the Islamic countries for Jews who could fill the resultant cheap labor market. "Emissaries" were smuggled into these countries to "convince" Jews to leave either by trickery or fear. In the case of Iraq, both methods were used: uneducated Jews were told of a Messianic Israel in which the blind see, the lame walk, and onions grow as big as melons; educated Jews had bombs thrown at them. A few years after the bombings, in the early 1950s, a book was published in Iraq, in Arabic, titled Venom of the Zionist Viper. The author was one of the Iraqi investigators of the 1950-51 bombings and, in his book, he implicates the Israelis, specifically one of the emissaries sent by Israel, Mordechai Ben-Porat. As soon as the book came out, all copies just disappeared, even from libraries. The word was that agents of the Israeli Mossad, working through the U.S. Embassy, bought up all the books and destroyed them. I tried on three different occasions to have one sent to me in Israel, but each time Israeli censors in the post office intercepted it. British Leaders. Britain always acted in its best colonial interests. For that reason Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour sent his famous 1917 letter to Lord Rothschild in exchange for Zionist support in WW I. During WW II the British were primarily concerned with keeping their client states in the Western camp, while Zionists were most concerned with the immigration of European Jews to Palestine, even if this meant cooperating with the Nazis. (In my book I document numerous instances of such dealings by Ben Gurion and the Zionist leadership.) After WW II the international chessboard pitted communists against capitalists. In many countries, including the United States and Iraq, Jews represented a large part of the Communist party. In Iraq, hundreds of Jews of the working intelligentsia occupied key positions in the hierarchy of the Communist and Socialist parties. To keep their client countries in the capitalist camp, Britain had to make sure these governments had pro-British leaders. And if, as in Iraq, these leaders were overthrown, then an anti-Jewish riot or two could prove a useful pretext to invade the capital and reinstate the "right" leaders. Moreover, if the possibility existed of removing the communist influence from Iraq by transferring the whole Jewish community to Israel, well then, why not? Particularly if the leaders of Israel and Iraq conspired in the deed. The Iraqi Leaders. Both the regent Abd al-Ilah and his prime minister Nouri el- Said took directions from London. Toward the end of 1948, el-Said, who had already met with Israel's Prime Minister Ben Gurion in Vienna, began discussing with his Iraqi and British associates the need for an exchange of populations. Iraq would send the Jews in military trucks to Israel via Jordan, and Iraq would take in some of the Palestinians Israel had been evicting. His proposal included mutual confiscation of property. London nixed the idea as too radical. El-Said then went to his back-up plan and began to create the conditions that would make the lives of Iraqi Jews so miserable they would leave for Israel. Jewish government employees were fired from their jobs; Jewish merchants were denied import/export licenses; police began to arrest Jews for trivial reasons. Still the Jews did not leave in any great numbers. In September 1949, Israel sent the spy Mordechai Ben-Porat, the one mentioned in Venom of the Zionist Viper, to Iraq. One of the first things Ben-Porat did was to approach el-Said and promise him financial incentives to have a law enacted that would lift the citizenship of Iraqi Jews. Soon after, Zionist and Iraqi representatives began formulating a rough draft of the bill, according to the model dictated by Israel through its agents in Baghdad. The bill was passed by the Iraqi parliament in March 1950. It empowered the government to issue one-time exit visas to Jews wishing to leave the country. In March, the bombings began. Sixteen years later, the Israeli magazine Haolam Hazeh, published by Uri Avnery, then a Knesset member, accused Ben-Porat of the Baghdad bombings. Ben-Porat, who would become a Knesset member himself, denied the charge, but never sued the magazine for libel. And Iraqi Jews in Israel still call him Morad Abu al-Knabel, Mordechai of the Bombs. As I said, all this went well beyond the comprehension of a teenager. I knew Jews were being killed and an organization existed that could lead us to the Promised Land. So I helped in the exodus to Israel. Later, on occasions, I would bump into some of these Iraqi Jews in Israel. Not infrequently they'd express the sentiment that they could kill me for what I had done. Opportunities for Peace After the Israeli attack on the Jordanian village of Qibya in October, 1953, Ben Gurion went into voluntary exile at the Sedeh Boker kibbutz in the Negev. The Labor party then used to organize many buses for people to go visit him there, where they would see the former prime minister working with sheep. But that was only for show. Really he was writing his diary and continuing to be active behind the scenes. I went on such a tour. Ben Gurion's Scandals by N.Giladi How the Haganah and Mossad eliminated Jews. Available in our BookstoreWe were told not to try to speak to Ben Gurion, but when I saw him, I asked why, since Israel is a democracy with a parliament, does it not have a constitution? Ben Gurion said, "Look, boy"-I was 24 at the time-"if we have a constitution, we have to write in it the border of our country. And this is not our border, my dear." I asked, "Then where is the border?" He said, "Wherever the Sahal will come, this is the border." Sahal is the Israeli army. Ben Gurion told the world that Israel accepted the partition and the Arabs rejected it. Then Israel took half of the land that was promised to the Arab state. And still he was saying it was not enough. Israel needed more land. How can a country make peace with its neighbors if it wants to take their land? How can a country demand to be secure if it won't say what borders it will be satisfied with? For such a country, peace would be an inconvenience. I know now that from the beginning many Arab leaders wanted to make peace with Israel, but Israel always refused. Ben Gurion covered this up with propaganda. He said that the Arabs wanted to drive Israel into the sea and he called Gamal Abdel Nasser the Hitler of the Middle East whose foremost intent was to destroy Israel. He wanted America and Great Britain to treat Nasser like a pariah. In 1954, it seemed that America was getting less critical of Nasser. Then during a three-week period in July, several terrorist bombs were set off: at the United States Information Agency offices in Cairo and Alexandria, a British-owned theater, and the central post office in Cairo. An attempt to firebomb a cinema in Alexandria failed when the bomb went off in the pocket of one of the perpetrators. That led to the discovery that the terrorists were not anti-Western Egyptians, but were instead Israeli spies bent on souring the warming relationship between Egypt and the United States in what came to be known as the Lavon Affair. Ben Gurion was still living on his kibbutz. Moshe Sharett as prime minister was in contact with Abdel Nasser through the offices of Lord Maurice Orbach of Great Britain. Sharett asked Nasser to be lenient with the captured spies, and Nasser did all that was in his power to prevent a deterioration of the situation between the two countries. Then Ben Gurion returned as Defense Minister in February, 1955. Later that month Israeli troops attacked Egyptian military camps and Palestinian refugees in Gaza, killing 54 and injuring many more. The very night of the attack, Lord Orbach was on his way to deliver a message to Nasser, but was unable to get through because of the military action. When Orbach telephoned, Nasser's secretary told him that the attack proved that Israel did not want peace and that he was wasting his time as a mediator. In November, Ben Gurion announced in the Knesset that he was willing to meet with Abdel Nasser anywhere and at any time for the sake of peace and understanding. The next morning the Israeli military attacked an Egyptian military camp in the Sabaha region. Although Nasser felt pessimistic about achieving peace with Israel, he continued to send other mediators to try. One was through the American Friends Service Committee; another via the Prime Minister of Malta, Dom Minthoff; and still another through Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia. One that looked particularly promising was through Dennis Hamilton, editor of The London Times. Nasser told Hamilton that if only he could sit and talk with Ben Gurion for two or three hours, they would be able to settle the conflict and end the state of war between the two countries. When word of this reached Ben Gurion, he arranged to meet with Hamilton. They decided to pursue the matter with the Israeli ambassador in London, Arthur Luria, as liaison. On Hamilton's third trip to Egypt, Nasser met him with the text of a Ben Gurion speech stating that Israel would not give up an inch of land and would not take back a single refugee. Hamilton knew that Ben Gurion with his mouth had undermined a peace mission and missed an opportunity to settle the Israeli-Arab conflict. Nasser even sent his friend Ibrahim Izat of the Ruz El Yusuf weekly paper to meet with Israeli leaders in order to explore the political atmosphere and find out why the attacks were taking place if Israel really wanted peace. One of the men Izat met with was Yigal Yadin, a former Chief of Staff of the army who wrote this letter to me on 14 January 1982: Dear Mr. Giladi: Your letter reminded me of an event which I nearly forgot and of which I remember only a few details. Ibrahim Izat came to me if I am not mistaken under the request of the Foreign Ministry or one of its branches; he stayed in my house and we spoke for many hours. I do not remember him saying that he came on a mission from Nasser, but I have no doubt that he let it be understood that this was with his knowledge or acquiescence.... When Nasser decided to nationalize the Suez Canal in spite of opposition from the British and the French, Radio Cairo announced in Hebrew: If the Israeli government is not influenced by the British and the French imperialists, it will eventually result in greater understanding between the two states, and Egypt will reconsider Israel's request to have access to the Suez Canal. Israel responded that it had no designs on Egypt, but at that very moment Israeli representatives were in France planning the three-way attack that was to take place in October, 1956. All the while, Ben Gurion continued to talk about the Hitler of the Middle East. This brainwashing went on until late September, 1970, when Gamal Abdel Nasser passed away. Then, miracle of miracles, David Ben Gurion told the press: A week before he died I received an envoy from Abdel Nasser who asked to meet with me urgently in order to solve the problems between Israel and the Arab world. The public was surprised because they didn't know that Abdel Nasser had wanted this all along, but Israel sabotaged it. Nasser was not the only Arab leader who wanted to make peace with Israel. There were many others. Brigadier General Abdel Karim Qasem, before he seized power in Iraq in July, 1958, headed an underground organization that sent a delegation to Israel to make a secret agreement. Ben Gurion refused even to see him. I learned about this when I was a journalist in Israel. But whenever I tried to publish even a small part of it, the censor would stamp it "Not Allowed." Now, in Netanyahu, we are witnessing another attempt by an Israeli prime minister to fake an interest in making peace. Netanyahu and the Likud are setting Arafat up by demanding that he institute more and more repressive measures in the interest of Israeli "security." Sooner or later I suspect the Palestinians will have had enough of Arafat's strong-arm methods as Israel's quisling-and he'll be killed. Then the Israeli government will say, "See, we were ready to give him everything. You can't trust those Arabs-they kill each other. Now there's no one to even talk to about peace." Conclusion Alexis de Tocqueville once observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth. Certainly it has been easier for the world to accept the Zionist lie that Jews were evicted from Muslim lands because of anti-Semitism, and that Israelis, never the Arabs, were the pursuers of peace. The truth is far more discerning: bigger players on the world stage were pulling the strings. These players, I believe, should be held accountable for their crimes, particularly when they willfully terrorized, dispossessed and killed innocent people on the altar of some ideological imperative. I believe, too, that the descendants of these leaders have a moral responsibility to compensate the victims and their descendants, and to do so not just with reparations, but by setting the historical record straight. That is why I established a panel of inquiry in Israel to seek reparations for Iraqi Jews who had been forced to leave behind their property and possessions in Iraq. That is why I joined the Black Panthers in confronting the Israeli government with the grievances of the Jews in Israel who came from Islamic lands. And that is why I have written my book and this article: to set the historical record straight. We Jews from Islamic lands did not leave our ancestral homes because of any natural enmity between Jews and Muslims. And we Arabs-I say Arab because that is the language my wife and I still speak at home-we Arabs on numerous occasions have sought peace with the State of the Jews. And finally, as a U.S. citizen and taxpayer, let me say that we Americans need to stop supporting racial discrimination in Israel and the cruel expropriation of lands in the West Bank, Gaza, South Lebanon and the Golan Heights.
