He fulfilled:

worth $200 billion,
a.k.a. the tax cut deal (the perfect pre-re-election fiscal sugar high -
the piper gets paid in 2013 and beyond);
(2) his most important social policy objective, repeal of "don't ask,

(3) his most cherished (achievable) foreign policy goal, ratification of
the New START treaty with
Russia.

A NOBEL PRIZE DIPLOMA
(To see a clear bigger version
please click on the name hyperlink) |
Wikipedia
The
Nobel Prizes
(definite form, singular,
Swedish:
Nobelpriset,
Norwegian:
Nobelprisen) are annual international awards bestowed by Scandinavian
committees in recognition of cultural and scientific advances. The will
of the Swedish chemist
Alfred Nobel,
the inventor of
dynamite,
established the prizes in 1895. The prizes in
Physics,
Chemistry,
Physiology or Medicine,
Literature,
and
Peace
were first awarded in 1901. The
Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic
Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel
was instituted by
Sveriges Riksbank
in 1968 and was first awarded in 1969. Although technically not a Nobel
Prize, its announcements and presentations are made along with the other
prizes, with the exception of the Peace Prize which is awarded in Oslo,
Norway. Each Nobel Prize is regarded as the most prestigious award in
its field.
Each recipient, or laureate, is
presented with a gold medal, a
diploma,
and a sum of money which depends on the
Nobel Foundation's
income that year. In 2009, each prize was worth 10 million
SEK
(c. US$1.4 million). The prize cannot be awarded posthumously, unless
the winner of the prize has passed away after the prize's announcement.
Nor may a prize be shared among more than three people. Alfred Nobel's
will stated that 94% of his total assets should be used to establish the
Nobel Prizes. Since the 1980s, the Foundation's
investments have become more profitable and as of 31 December 2007, the
assets controlled by the Nobel Foundation amounted to 3.628 billion
Swedish kronor (c. US$560 million).
Alfred Bernhard Nobel, born on 21 October 1833 in
Stockholm Sweden, was a chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments
manufacturer and the
inventor of
dynamite. He owned
Bofors,
a major armaments manufacturer, which he had redirected from its
original business as an iron and steel mill. Nobel held 355 different
patents,
dynamite being the most famous. Nobel amassed a sizeable personal
fortune during his lifetime, thanks mostly to this invention. In
1896 Nobel died of a stroke in his
villa in
San Remo,
Italy where he had lived out the last years of his life.

PEACE PRIZE WINNER...
....CHINESE CITIZEN LIU XIAOBO.... |
"I, filled with optimism, look
forward to the advent of a future, free China. For there is no force
that can put an end to the human quest for freedom, and China will in
the end become a nation ruled by law, where human rights reign supreme.
”

2010
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AWARDED TO
imprisoned
Chinese human rights
activist
Liu Xiaobo
(out of a record 200 nominations)
....The Chinese Government,
despite world-wide criticism and pleas, not only did not acknowledge the
award but disputed and criticized the award selection itself and did not allow Liu Xiaobo or his wife to attend the award ceremony. Thus
during the award ceremony, the laureate's absence was symbolized by his
empty chair on the stage and projection of Liu Xiaobo's image onto the
facade of the Grand Hotel, Oslo.....
The
2010
Nobel Peace Prize
was awarded to imprisoned
Chinese human rights
activist
Liu
Xiaobo "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human
rights in China". The laureate, a little-known figure inside China due
to official censorship, is a
veteran of the
Tiananmen Square protests of 1989,
and co-author of the
Charter 08
manifesto for which he was sentenced to 11 years in prison by Chinese
authorities on 25 December 2009. |

Koreans are believed to be descendants
of
Altaic-
or proto-Altaic[19]-speaking
tribes, linking them with
Mongolians,
Turks,
and
Tungusic peoples.
Archaeological evidence suggests proto-Koreans were
Altaic-language-speaking migrants from south-central
Siberia,[20]
who populated
ancient Korea
in successive waves from the
Neolithic
age to the
Bronze Age. Distinct regional differences, culturally and
politically, exist among the Koreans, as they do among other ethnicities

THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDER FOR THE CURRENT
SHELLING OF SOUTH KOREA BY NORTH KOREA
(From Wikipedia)
The Korean War was a war between North Korea and South Korea with major
hostilities beginning on June 25, 1950, ending with
an armistice signed on July 27, 1953. The conflict arose from the
division of Korea by the UN and the attempts of the two Korean powers to
reunify Korea
under their respective governments. The division led to full scale civil
war with a cost of more than 2 million civilians and soldiers from both
sides. The period immediately before the war was marked by escalating
border conflicts at the
38th parallel and attempts to negotiate elections for the entirety
of Korea.
These negotiations ended when the
military of North Korea invaded the South on June 25, 1950. Under
the aegis of the
United Nations, nations allied with the
United States intervened on behalf of South Korea. After rapid
advances in a South Korean counterattack, North-allied
Chinese forces intervened on behalf of North Korea, shifting the
balance of the war and ultimately leading to an armistice that
approximately restored the original boundaries between North and South
Korea.
Since the Armistice in 1953, the relations between the North Korean
government and South Korea, the European Union, Canada, the United
States, and Japan have remained tense and hostile incidents occur
frequently.Both North and South Korea signed the
June 15th North-South Joint Declaration in 2000, in which both sides
made promises to seek out a peaceful reunification. Additionally, on
October 4, 2007, the leaders of North and South Korea pledged to hold
summit talks to officially declare the war over and reaffirmed the
principle of mutual non-aggression.On November 23, 2010, North Korea
fired about 170 rounds of artillery on
Yeonpyeong Island and the surrounding waters near the Yellow Sea
border, with some 90 shells landing on the island. The attack resulted
in the deaths of two South Korean marines and two civilians. Fifteen
marines and at least three civilians were wounded.[47]
North Korean news sources alleged that the North Korean actions,
described as "a prompt and powerful physical strike", were in response
to provocation from South Korea, alleging that South Korea fired "dozens
of shells inside its territorial waters".
The relative peace between the
south and the north was punctuated by border skirmishes and
assassination attempts. The North failed in several assassination
attempts on South Korean leaders, most notably in 1968, 1974 and the
Rangoon bombing
in 1983; tunnels were frequently found under the DMZ and war nearly
broke out over the
Axe Murder Incident
at
Panmunjeom
in 1976. In 1973, extremely secret, high-level contacts began to be
conducted through the offices of the
Red Cross,
but ended after the Panmunjeom incident with little progress having been
made and the idea that the two Koreas would join international
organisations separately.
In the late 1990s, with the South
having transitioned to
liberal democracy,
the success of the
Nordpolitik
policy, and power in the North having been taken up by Kim Il-sung's son
Kim Jong-il,
the two nations began to engage publicly for the first time, with the
South declaring its
Sunshine Policy
In 2002, United States president
George W. Bush
labeled North Korea part of an "axis
of evil" and an "outpost
of tyranny". The
highest-level contact the government has had with the United States was
with
U.S. Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright,
who made a visit to Pyongyang in 2000, but the two countries do not have
formal diplomatic relations. By 2006, approximately 37,000 American
soldiers remained in South Korea, although by June 2009 this number had
fallen to around 30,000 Kim Jong-il has privately stated his acceptance
of U.S. troops on the peninsula, even after a possible
reunification.
Publicly, North Korea strongly demands the removal of American troops
from Korea. North Korea has active nuclear and ballistic missile weapons
programs and has been subject to United Nations Security Council
resolutions
1695
of July 2006,
1718
of October 2006, and
1874
of June 2009, for carrying out both missile and nuclear tests. North
Korea probably has fissile material for up to 9 nuclear weapons,and has
the capability to deploy nuclear warheads on
intermediate-range ballistic missiles..

Gabriel

Christians.king
600 step to reach, the cave is at a height of 270 m (890 ft) and the
radius is 263.23 m (863.6 ft) During the
Hajj

MAKKAH: The 5-DAY hajj
began in Saudi Arabia on November 15, 2010.
The Hajj (Arabic: ??? ?ajj) is the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi
Arabia. It is presently the greatest annual pilgrimage in the world, and
is the fifth pillar of Islam, a spiritual responsibility that ought be
brought out a least one time in their lifetime by every able-bodied
Muslim who can have finance for to perform so. Grand mufti of Saudi
Arabia Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh said in the khutba-e-Hajj here on
Sunday that Islam does not allow terrorism and the true Muslim is only
one who follows the orders of Allah. He said that shedding blood of
people is strictly prohibited in Islam. The grand mufti has urged the
Muslims to hold tightly the rope of Allah and practice the Islamic
teachings.
He was delivering the khutba-e-Hajj at Masjid-e-Nimra in Arafat where
millions of the pilgrims gathered from all over the world to perform the
most important phase of the Hajj. Pilgrims set out on a journey from
Mecca to Mount Arafat through the valleys of Mina and Muzdalifa. It is
expected that this year’s hajj will be attended by some 3.5 million
people. Recently a special light-rail metro was opened, connecting Mecca
with the valleys. The following year, when construction is completed,
every six hours the light-rail metro will carry up to half a million
people. Hajj is one of the five compulsory duties of a Muslim,
guaranteeing him pardon for all sins and the attainment of eternal bliss
in the life hereafter. |
