"In Philadelphia, donors were handed preferred suites at the Ritz-Carlton and “Friends and Family” packages created for longtime Clinton hands — some of them also longtime benefactors. Some were granted time backstage or in the Clinton family box with former President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton. Blackstone, the private equity giant, scheduled a reception at the Barnes Foundation on Thursday with its president, Hamilton E. James, one of the leading Wall Street contenders for an economic policy post in a future Clinton administration."

This man has the most simplistic mind I have ever seen. He can only think in terms of a binary view. Either this or that. Complex ideas confuse him a great deal. Notice that the wall Trump bother people in the US but not the wall in Israel.

"Whether the new name will work to persuade moderate rebels — and, more importantly, their Western backers — that the group should no longer be considered a terrorist organization is in doubt. It is also highly unlikely to convince Russia, which has consistently referred to all rebels as “terrorists” and has been escalating its bombardments of rebel positions in recent weeks, notably around the besieged northern city of Aleppo."

There is no question that Hillary is the war candidate. She has the record to prove it. In every conflict in the world, she stood (as a senator or as a Secretary of State) for more war and more bombs. You name it.

"Stephen F. Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies at NYU and Princeton, spoke with CNN's 'Smerconish' Saturday morning about Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the 'New Cold War.' Cohen says the media at large is doing a huge disservice to the American people by ignoring the substance of Trump's arguments about NATO and Russia, and buying the Clinton campaign's simplistic smear that Trump is a Russian "Manchurian candidate." "That reckless branding of Trump as a Russian agent, most of it is coming from the Clinton campaign," Cohen said. "And they really need to stop." "We're approaching a Cuban Missile Crisis level nuclear confrontation with Russia," he explained. "And there is absolutely no discussion, no debate, about this in the American media." "Then along comes, unexpectedly, Donald Trump," he continued, "Who says he wants to end the New Cold War, and cooperate with Russia in various places... and --astonishingly-- the media is full of what only can be called neo-McCarthyite charges that he is a Russian agent, that he is a Manchurian candidate, and that he is Putin's client." "This is a moment when there should be, in a presidential year, a debate," he said. "And that is not what we are given in the media today." "Let's go back to what you said Trump said about NATO," Cohen also said. "Trump said early on, he wanted to know, 60 years after its foundation, what was NATO's mission today. 100 policy wonks in Washington since the end of the Soviet Union, 25 years ago, have asked the same question. Is NATO an organization in search of a mission?" "That's a legitimate question --but we don't debate it. We don't ask it. We just say, oh, Trump wants to abandon NATO.""

He is imprisoned in Saudi Arabia because he tried to organize a demonstration in support of Palestinians in Gaza. Western human rights organizations don't care about his plight: imagine if he was trying to organize a demonstration in support of gay rights, for example. He would have been made famous worldwide. Freedom of speech is only partially important for Western human rights organization.

"Many behavioral psychology studies have shown that even when your life is improving in absolute terms, you see very little psychological benefit when your life isn’t improving as quickly as your neighbor. Your absolute size of the pie is less important than your relative slice of the pie (Christian Elger and Armin Falk — University of Bonn). This is why inequality is so damaging to the national psyche. The video below shows one monkey becoming irate as his neighbor receives more for the same work. Humans are not monkeys, but we share similar psychological patterns."

It seems that the priority of Hamas these days is fighting atheists and not Zionist occupiers. This is the official cartoonist of Hamas. It says: (on top) "The Palestinian Muslims does not vote for atheist secularists". And below in read it says: "The Palestinian people is innocent of those who curse God and religion".

None of the Western media noted that the man sitting to the right of Julani was none other than Abu Al-Faraj Al-Masri, one of the key and early Al-Qa`idah functionaries and a comrade of Bin Laden and Zawahiri. Liz Sly of the Washington Post will declare him a feminist secularist any minute now.

Of course, I oppose both Hillary and Trump and won't vote because I never voted in my life but this has to be said: I have lived in the US since 1983, and I have never seen more media bias in favor of a candidate (and against another candidate) as I see now in the media's endorsement of Hillary. There is something called establishment in the US and they all are going for Hillary. None even admitted that she gave one of the lousiest speeches in memory at the convention.

So this is the second article I see against anti-Semitism in a Saudi regime newspaper this week. Of course, I welcome the appearance FINALLY of an article against anti-Semitism in a media which has specialized in decades in vomiting the most vile anti-Semitism. It is high time that the regime media end this practice. However, like everything else coming out of Saudi regime: there are reasons for this. These media still vomit out the most vile anti-Shi`ism and anti-Alawitism. So basically: the media follower the orders of the regime to vomit whatever bigotry and hatred ordered by the regime. The timing of this is interesting: I think that the regime was taken aback with the strong reaction of Saudis on social media against the visit by a Saudi delegation to Israel, and some--but not all--of the expressions of disapproval of this visit came from Islamists who expressed their disapproval anti-semitically. And as the regime prepares to come out in the open about its alliance with the Israeli occupation state, it wants to downplay the anti-Semitic element of its doctrine (and anti-Semitism is an integral part of the Wahhabi ideology). Finally, many Saudis respond to the Saudi visit to the occupation state of Israel by posting videos and speeches of King Faisal (who was one of the most notorious anti-Semites of the 20th century despite his secret alliance with Israel against Nasser).

By the way, do you notice that neither the sudden Zionist lovers of the Syrian people and the Western correspondents in Beirut (who write on Syria) uttered a word about what even the pro-Syrian "revolution" Gulf media has admitted: that Syrian rebels in Aleppo have forcibly and violently prevented the civilians from leaving the city. None of those people, nor the Western human rights organization, dare talk about how rebels hold Syrian civilians hostages.

This Daniel Serwer, whose relationship to Middle East studies is similar to my relationship to potato studies, wants the US to bomb Hizbullah. And he thinks he has a simple plan without any repercussions. I just have one question. Since when it becomes part of the job description of US professors to call on the government to bomb countries and organizations? What would happen to the career of a professor if he/she were to call for bombing, say, of Israel? Would that person retain his/her job? And this guy who is pontificating about the Middle East, and who is a fellow at the new and improved Middle East Institute (which has no passing resemblance to the old Middle East Institute which used to boldly challenge the Israeli lobby), and yet he has no academic background in the study of the Middle East. But wait: look at his language skills: "He speaks Italian, French, and Portuguese, as well as beginning Arabic." Let me explains: when I see someone says that he speaks "beginning Arabic" it only means this: that person is able to say the following sentence (in English): May I have a sandwich of Shaweeermaaa?

PS: Did this professor assume the position of Nusrah by describing their actions as "jihad" ?

"A Muslim woman is getting attention for the heartwarming story she shared on social media about a Jewish man who approached her out of the blue to empathize with how difficult it must be to face prejudice as a Muslim. Leena Al-Arian, an American from Greater Boston, wrote in a Facebook post Thursday about the moment a stranger, Lenny, approached her at a Barnes & Noble, told her how beautiful her daughters were and apologized for the anti-Muslim sentiment in society today. “He had tears in his eyes and told me that it must be so hard to turn on the news, that he feels awful about the bigotry my kids might one day experience, and that as a Jewish man whose parents didn’t speak any English growing up, he personally understands what it feels like to be rejected and discriminated against,” the post read in part. Al-Arian told Yahoo News that she had taken her 4-year-old, Hiba, and 20-month-old, Huda, to the bookstore on Wednesday to meet characters from the cartoon “Paw Patrol.” After meeting Lenny, Al-Arian asked if she could hug him because it looked like he needed one (and she needed one as well). He reassured her that most Americans are not prejudiced against Muslims and don’t believe everything they hear in the news, she said."

It has taken a long time but it seems that Japanese universities are getting a little irritated about the Times Higher Education (THE) World and Asian University Rankings.
I have commented on the THE Asian rankings here, here and here.
Research University 11, a consortium of Japan's top 11 universities, issued a statement earlier this month that the Times Higher Education ranking should not be used to determine national policy or as an achievement indicator.

So achieving a higher ranking does not necessarily correlate with providing better educations and research opportunities.
For some universities, there is another worry -- politics. The Japanese government in 2013 said it would aim to ensure that Japanese universities rank among the world's top 100 over the following decade. Now, Japanese universities are required to develop specific strategies to help the government reach this "revitalization" goal.
It has taken a long time but it seems that Japanese universities are getting a little irritated about the Times Higher Education (THE) World and Asian University Rankings.
I have commented on the THE Asian rankings here, here and here.
Research University 11, a consortium of Japan's top 11 universities, issued a statement earlier this month that the Times Higher Education ranking should not be used to determine national policy or as an achievement indicator.

Another ranking that should be looked at very carefully is the International Mathematical Olympiad, designed for pre-university students, the first of which was held in Romania in 1959. The competitionincludes problems in algebra, pre-calculus, complex geometry and functional equations.
Twenty years ago the Olympiad was dominated by ex-communist Eastern Europe. In 1996, first place was taken by Romania while Hungary was third and Russia fourth. Now, East Asia and the Chinese diaspora are dominant: South Korea second, China third, Singapore fourth, Taiwan fifth, North Korea sixth, Hong Kong ninth, Japan tenth.
The USA is first this year, as it was in 2015, with an all-male team whose members have three South Asian and three Chinese surnames.
The rankings look pretty much like the PISA and TIMSS test scores. Combined with the recent coding competition and the Top500supercomputing ranking, they suggest the intellectual and economic leaders of this century will be in East Asia and Eastern Europe including Russia.
The USA and the UK might do fairly well if they can introduce and maintain sensible immigration and educational selection policies. The American success, unfortunately, is not good enough for the conventional education media. The team is not diverse enough: no women, no historically underrepresented minorities. So far nobody has protested about the absence of transgender or openly gay students but perhaps their time will eventually come.
"According to Mark Saul, the director of competitions for the Mathematical Association of America, not a single African-American or Hispanic student—and only a handful of girls—has ever made it to the Math Olympiad team in its 50 years of existence."
To overcome this problem, participants in the events leading up to the Olympiad have competitions that test creativity and collaboration and are judged subjectively.
"In the past few years, MathCounts added two new middle school programs to try to diversify its participant pool—National Math Club and the Math Video Challenge. "Schools or teachers who sign up for the National Math Club receive a kit full of activities and resources, but there's no special teacher training and no competition attached. The Math Video Challenge is a competition, but a collaborative one. Teams of four students make a video illustrating a math problem and its real-world application. After the high-pressure Countdown round at this year's national MathCounts competition, in which the top 12 students went head to head solving complex problems in rapid fire, the finalists for the Math Video Challenge took the stage to show their videos. The demographics of that group looked quite different from those in the competition round—of the 16 video finalists, 13 were girls and eight were African-American students. The video challenge does not put individual students on the hot seat—so it's less intimidating by design. It also adds the element of artistic creativity to attract a new pool of students who may not see themselves as "math people." An 8th grade team from the Ron Clark Academy, an independent middle school in Atlanta that serves low-income students, was among the finalists. The students illustrated a complicated multistep problem entirely through rap. None had ever been involved in a math competition before."
In other words, the competitions will be less and less about mathematics and more and more about making rap videos and the like. No doubt Russia, China and Korea will be flocking to the US to see how its done. Much the same thing has been happening with national competitive debating.
Here are this year's results and those for 2015 and 1996.
