It isn't all about what you can get, but about what you can give.  This booklet is out of the UK. "The antislavery movement was the first major campaign in Britain to involve ordinary citizens across all classes (as well as the slaves themselves) in the struggle to end the practice. As such it is a good example of how change can come about when people work together for a just cause.

These were weapons, how-ever, acquired from foreign suppliers, not from domestic sources.<br /><br />In reality, the issue is far more complex, and is particularly compounded by:<br /><br /><b style="color: red;">THE FACT THAT THE UNITED STATES IS IN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION YEAR</b><span style="color: red;">, </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">which traditionally inhibits and distorts Administration decision making, and yet allows for opposition candidates to exercise strenuous — and often ill-informed and inflammatory — rhetorical positions;<br /><br /><b style="color: red;">THE FACT THAT THE IRANIAN DOMESTIC POLITICAL SITUATION IS CLOUDED</b><span style="color: red;">, </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">as a result of the Majlis elections which have already severely crimped the influence of incumbent Pres. <b>Mahmud Ahmadi-Nejad</b>, who may soon be eclipsed from power with the end of his term. However, even the present “Supreme Leader”, “Ayatollah” <b>Ali Khamene’i</b>, did not gain as much ground in domestic politics as he would have wished vis-à-vis <b>Ahmadi-Nejad</b>. This leaves power — insofar as it is concentrated at all — largely in the hands of the leader of the <b>Quds Force</b> of the IRANIAN Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC: Pásdárán), Brig. <b>Qassem Suleimani</b>. In any event, all talk of “reformists” in the IRANIAN clerical scene has evaporated. <br /><br /><b style="color: red;">THE REALITY THAT IRAN’S STRATEGIC REACH TO DOMINATE THE PERSIAN GULF AND THE NORTHERN TIER HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL</b><span style="color: red;">,</span> </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">and this is compounded by the US/Coalition withdrawal from IRAQ, and the de facto strategic withdrawal (certainly du jure in a political sense) from AFGHANISTAN. IRAN has successfully used its influence over Shi’a populations — often regionally in a minority — to effectively control situations. The use by the IRANIAN clerics of the “anti-ISRAEL” jihadist rhetoric to win support from the vast Arab and Muslim populations has, however, failed: the Sunni populations, while buying the anti-ISRAEL line, have not coalesced in support for IRANIAN leadership. And the Sunni leaderships of Sunni-dominated Muslim states have reacted sharply to IRAN’S rhetoric as much as to IRAN’S real strategic grasp on, for example, IRAQ and SYRIA.

It is worth noting that ISRAEL has been quiet on the subject of promoting the end to the <b>Bashar al-Assad</b>Government in SYRIA, knowing that it is a close ally of Tehran. <br /><br /><b style="color: red;">IRAN ALREADY HAS DEPLOYED NUCLEAR WEAPONS, A FACT KNOWN BY THE USA AND ISRAEL SINCE 1991</b></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Western commentators and politicians have locked themselves into an unsustainable position: attempting to deny IRAN access to nuclear weapons. The reality, as US and ISRAELI officials have now acknowledged, is that IRAN already has deployed nuclear weapons, albeit not domestically-made ones. This has been known, but not discussed, since 1991.<br />US and Western officials missed the opportunity, with the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), begun under US Pres. <b>Ronald Reagan</b>, to develop a system which would have effectively negated the efficacy of missile-based nuclear weapons. As a result, nuclear weapons proliferation is likely to continue, not just with IRAN, but potentially with TURKEY, which has been developing the capabilities to achieve nuclear weapons production capacity. <br /><br />As a result of this, and the reality that the size, geography, and capabilities of IRAN — including its alliance structure with NORTH KOREA (DPRK), and now the People’s Republic of CHINA (PRC) — preclude armed invasion (a la IRAQ, a much, much easier target), opponents of IRAN have limited options. One is to seek to create a viable relationship with IRAN so as to preclude the prospect of IRANIAN use (or threats of use) of nuclear weapons. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: red; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">ISOLATING IRAN THROUGH SANCTIONS AND HOSTILITY HAS ENABLED THE CLERICS TO BUILD A SOCIETY WHICH THEY CAN DOMINATE</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This, obviously, from a Western or ISRAELI standpoint would be better facilitated if IRAN was governed by a non-clerical administration. The question, then, would be how such an outcome could be achieved. Significantly, isolating IRAN through sanctions and hostility has enabled the clerics to build a society which they can dominate. Isolation works both ways; in this case, it has strengthened clerical control of the IRANIAN population. Attempts to sow secessionist discord among IRANIAN constituent populations have thus far failed, although the most significant attempts — to create secessionism in Baluchistan — have actually fueled secessionist momentum in PAKISTANI BALUCHISTAN and, to a degree, AFGHAN BALUCHISTAN.<br /><br />Indeed, all realities may change if secessionist movements take root in AFGHANISTAN and PAKISTAN as the present AFGHANISTAN war winds down and the US and Coalition forces depart the area. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">LOSS OF US INFLUENCE IN THE PERSIAN GULF, THE NORTHERN TIER AND CENTRAL ASIA FORCES ISRAEL TO ADAPT NEW GEOPOLITICAL STRATEGIES</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><span style="color: red;">  </span><br /><br />As things stand at present, IRAN stands to gain — whether under a clerical government or not — and the US has lost (and continues to lose) influence in the PERSIAN GULF, the NORTHERN TIER, (<a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/northern-tier-pennsylvania">http://www.answers.com/topic/northern-tier-pennsylvania</a>) and CENTRAL ASIA. ISRAELI leaders must take account of this obvious reality, and plan for a new strategic framework, one which includes a new energy relationship with the EUROPEAN UNION, a new relationship with RUSSIA, and a new relationship with IRAN (which can also be facilitated by the PRC). <br /><br /><b style="color: red;">IF THE SUNNI STATES — AND PARTICULARLY SAUDI ARABIA, QATAR, AND TURKEY — SUCCEED IN OVERTHROWING THE IRANIAN-SUPPORTED ‘ALAWITE LEADERSHIP IN SYRIA, THEN ISRAEL WILL FACE A REINVIGORATED “ARAB” THREAT</b><span style="color: red;">. </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Israel is already conscious of the fact that SAUDI ARABIA and QATAR have almost succeeded in replacing an anti-SAUDI leadership in Libya (<b>Mu’ammar al-Qadhafi</b>) with a pro-SAUDI/salafist-jihadist leadership in Tripoli. Significantly, the non-salafist LIBYAN province of <b>Cyrenaica</b>has resisted this, and has called — as it did when it started the anti-<b>Qadhafi</b> revolt in February 2011 — <b>for the restitution of the 1951 Libyan Constitution</b>, <b>which allows for a federal structure</b>. This would wrest control of the oil from radical Tripolitania and the salafist interim President of LIBYA, and return it to <b>Cyrenaica</b>, under the moderate and pro-Western Senussi sect. <br /><br />These are all inter-related aspects of the current framework which is only superficially addressed in the “<b>international debate</b>” as to whether ISRAEL would or should strike at IRANIAN nuclear facilities.

<b><i><a href="http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470946741.html">Precedents in Architecture: Analytic Diagrams, Formative Ideas, and Partis (Fourth Edition)</a></i></b> by Roger H. Clark and Michael Pause<br />Wiley, 2012<br />Paperback, 352 pages<br /><br /><img alt="book-precedents4.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/book-precedents4.jpg" title="Precedents in Architecture: Analytic Diagrams, Formative Ideas, and Partis" /><br /><br />My first exposure to Clark and Pause's <i>Precedents in Architecture</i> was during a semester in Italy in the mid-1990s, where studio was a mix of analysis and design. An earlier edition of the book was in the small but quality library at the study center, and in its pages was the church we were analyzing. Like any student, I copied the diagrams into my sketchbook and showed them later to my professor, only to be berated for going that route, of making the analysis too simplistic. For him, analysis was not just diagramming circulation, hierarchy, symmetry, geometry, and so forth; it was a creative process, like design, that resulted in each student having his or her own take on the building. In other words, <i>Precedents in Architecture</i> was objective analysis and our work was subjective.<br /><br />A decade and a half later, finding myself teaching a second-year design studio that included a two-week building analysis, I was confronted with the decision to use Clark and Pause's book. While I did not require that students use it, I noticed that many of them did, given that by the fourth edition the book's line weights and shadings were unmistakable. But traces of my professor's comments lingered in my mind, so for me and my students the diagrams became a step toward realizing a deeper analysis of a particular building, not an end in themselves.<br /><br />The book's consistent approach to the various issues of analysis (the author's define those as structure, natural light, massing, plan to section or elevation, circulation to use-space, unit to whole, repetitive to unique, symmetry and balance, geometry, additive and subtractive, hierarchy) allows students to see a building as abstractions akin to their own design partis, as if they're seeing the project in its design stage. This is helpful in terms of cross referencing the various buildings (118 are included in the fourth edition) and finding the essences of the designs, but the tactic must be balanced by a prolonged look back at the building itself. For what is gained in the diagrams is lost in the fact that all but a few of the projects in the book are actual buildings; they exist and are made of materials and light, they sit on the earth and change a landscape. Analysis must also take these and other conditions of the built reality into account. So for students heading back to school, go ahead and pick up this new edition of the classic book, but realize that architects have dealt with issues beyond what Clark and Pause define, so there is much, much more to be discovered.<br /><br /><b>US: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470946741?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=0470946741&linkCode=xm2&tag=aweeklydoseof-20" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.com" border="0" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan.gif" /></a> CA: <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/0470946741?ie=UTF8&tag=aweeklydose02-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=15121&creativeASIN=0470946741" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.ca" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-ca.gif" width="90" /></a> UK: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0470946741?ie=UTF8&tag=aweeklydoseof-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=1634&creativeASIN=0470946741" target="_blank"><img alt="Buy from Amazon.co.uk" border="0" height="28" src="http://www.archidose.org/books/buy-from-tan-uk.gif" width="90" /></a></b>
