Defeat for net neutrality backers
US politicians have rejected attempts to enshrine the principle of net neutrality in legislation.

Some fear the decision will mean net providers start deciding on behalf of customers which websites and services they can visit and use.

The vote is a defeat for Google, eBay and Amazon which wanted the net neutrality principle protected by law.

All three mounted vigorous lobbying campaigns prior to the vote in the House of Representatives.

Tier fear

The rejection of the principle of net neutrality came during a debate on the wide-ranging Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act (Cope Act).

Among other things, this aims to make it easier for telecoms firms to offer video services around America by replacing 30,000 local franchise boards with a national system overseen by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Representative Fred Upton, head of the House telecommunications subcommittee, said competition could mean people save $30 to $40 each month on their net access fees.

An amendment to the Act tried to add clauses that would demand net service firms treat equally all the data passing through their cables.

The amendment was thought to be needed after the FCC ripped up its rules that guaranteed net neutrality.

During the debate House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, said that without the amendment "telecommunications and cable companies will be able to create toll lanes on the information superhighway".

"This strikes at the heart of the free and equal nature of the internet," she added.

Critics of the amendment said it would bring in unnecessary government regulation.

Prior to the vote net firms worried about the effect of the amendment on their business lobbied hard in favour of the amendment. They fear their sites will become hard to reach or that they will be forced to pay to guarantee that they can get through to web users.

Meg Whitman, eBay chief executive, e-mailed more than one million members of the auction site asking them to back the idea of net neutrality. Google boss Eric Schmidt called on staff at the search giant to support the idea, and film stars such as Alyssa Milano also backed the amendment.

The ending of net neutrality rules also spurred the creation of activism sites such as Save The Internet and Its Our Net.

Speaking at a conference in late May, web creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee warned that the net faced entering a "dark period" if access suppliers were allowed to choose which traffic to prioritise.

The amendment was defeated by 269 votes to 152 and the Cope Act was passed by 321-101 votes.

The debate over the issue now moves to the US Senate where the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee will vote on its version of the act in late June. The debate in that chamber is also likely to centre on issues of net neutrality.

CHAPTER 1: The Sinai War and Return

1 In 1956, the people of Israel were being harassed and attacked by Egypt.
2 When Israel advanced into the Sinai Desert, the Lord delivered the Egyptians into their hands. In just 100 hours, they conquered all the territory up to the Suez Canal.
3 But the nations became angry and said to Israel, "You must give back this land."
4 Then the Lord sent a prophet named Menachem Schneerson, who said, "This is what the Lord says: 'Be strong and do not give away the land that I have given you through obvious miracles.
5 If you remain firm, the nations will accept your conquest of Sinai. But if you give it back, the Arabs will attack again from there.'" But Ben-Gurion did not listen and gave back the Sinai.

CHAPTER 2: The Six Day War

1 In 1967, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria rose up and said, "Let us wipe Israel off the map."
2 Their armies and air forces vastly outnumbered Israel's by fifty to one.
3 Many in Israel were terrified and said, "We would have been better off not coming to this land only to be destroyed as the Germans had done to us."
4 When Levi Eshkol addressed the nation, he stammered and stuttered, causing many soldiers to break their radios in frustration.
5 That very day, God sent his prophet Menachem who said, "The people of Israel are in a situation where God is protecting them and sending his salvation."
6 The Rebbe declared that through the merit of Jewish men wearing tefillin, God would grant them a great victory.
7 When students asked if they should leave Israel, the Rebbe replied, "Continue your studies. The Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. You will hear good news."
8 The people broadcast the Rebbe's words on radio and published them in all the major newspapers. Many put on tefillin.
9 Then Israel overwhelmed the surrounding armies and captured the Sinai, Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights, for the Lord was with them.

10 While Israel was rejoicing, they announced, "We will return the land we have conquered."
11 But Menachem declared, "This is what the Lord says: Do not give back the land that God has given you through obvious miracles.
12 If you do this, or even discuss it, it will lead to much bloodshed among the Israelites. It will not bring peace but war.
13 Do not fear American pressure or the nations' opinions. Instead, do what is necessary to protect your citizens."

CHAPTER 3: Of the Bar-Lev Line and the War of Atonement

1 And it came to pass that the generals of Israel said, Let us build a mighty fortification along the banks of Suez.
2 And they purposed to build three lines of defense, and called it the Bar-Lev Line, and made thereof a great rampart of sand and concrete.
3 And the Rebbe sent word unto Ariel Sharon and unto the generals saying, This Bar-Lev Line shall surely bring disaster unto Israel.
4 Build not three lines of defense, but gather all thy forces into one line, lest ye be scattered and overcome.
5 But the generals hearkened not unto his voice, and built the Bar-Lev Line according to their own wisdom.

6 Then spake the children of Israel, saying, Let us make a cease-fire with the Egyptians.
7 But the Rebbe warned them, saying, Make not a cease-fire, for it shall but strengthen the hand of thine enemy.
8 Yet they made a cease-fire, and straightway did the Egyptians bring their SAM missiles unto the banks of Suez.

9 And in those days did Ariel Sharon purpose to travel by air, but the Rebbe stayed him, saying, Go not up in the aircraft this day.
10 And behold, that very aircraft was taken by hijackers, who sought for Sharon among the passengers but found him not, for the Rebbe had saved him.

11 And it came to pass in the summer of the year 1973 that the Rebbe warned the people, saying, We must gather the children to recite the twelve verses, for they have power to destroy our enemies.
12 But the people wondered at his words, for they said, Behold, we dwell safely, and no harm shall come nigh us.
13 Yet the Rebbe continued to cry unto all who would hear, saying, Gather ye the children, for they shall bring protection unto Israel.

14 Then on the Day of Atonement, even as the people fasted, the Egyptians and Syrians came against Israel unawares.
15 Now Golda Meir had received intelligence that they would attack, but she said, We cannot call up our reserves, neither can we strike first, lest we find not favour in the eyes of America and the nations.
16 And the Bar-Lev Line, wherein they trusted, was overcome as a wall of sand before the flood.
17 And thousands of the children of Israel were slain and wounded, and many aircraft were destroyed by the SAM missiles which the Egyptians had placed during the cease-fire.
18 And great fear fell upon all Israel, for they said, Surely this is the end of our nation.

19 Then sent Menachem an urgent message unto Moshe Dayan, saying, Fear not, for victory shall yet be ours, but ye must press on unto Damascus and unto Cairo.
20 And the LORD wrought a great miracle, for the Egyptians halted in their advance when victory was within their grasp.
21 And behold, eight tanks of Israel held back three hundred Syrian tanks in the north, and prevailed against them.
22 Then did the tanks of Israel win a mighty victory and advanced toward Damascus and toward Cairo.

23 But when they were come within forty miles of these cities, they halted.
24 And the Rebbe cried out, saying, This is a grievous error.
25 But Moshe Dayan answered and said, We cannot take these cities, for the rocks in the roads are too great for our forces to pass.
26 And they made a cease-fire, for the Americans pressed them sore, and Israel had no complete victory at the negotiating table.

27 And all these things came to pass according as the Rebbe had warned, for they had trusted in the Bar-Lev Line rather than in the LORD, and had sought the favour of nations rather than the protection of the Holy One of Israel.


CHAPTER 4: The Peace with Egypt

1 Later, the Egyptians demanded the return of the Sinai from Israel.
2 When Menachem Begin met with the Rebbe at his study house in Crown Heights, the Rebbe warned him, "Stand firm and do not give up the land."
3 The Rebbe said, "You are repeating your ancestors' mistake, for they gave up Sinai in 1957 and it brought war."
4 Then Sadat, the Egyptian president, came to Jerusalem and spoke persuasively to the people.
5 At Camp David, President Carter pressured Israel, and Begin gave Egypt the Sinai, the oil wells, and the Eitam airfield, saying, "This will bring peace."
6 But the Rebbe said, "This is not peace but surrender, and it will lead to more wars."

CHAPTER 5: The Lebanon War

1 After this, the Palestinians attacked Israel from Lebanon, killing many Israelis and firing Katyusha rockets at the Galilee.
2 Begin launched an offensive into Lebanon, ordering Rafael Eitan and Ariel Sharon to strike the PLO.
3 The nations protested, saying, "How terrible that you have invaded Lebanon! You are acting wickedly! Stop at once!"
4 Philip Habib, the American envoy, demanded, "Halt at Beirut."
5 But the Rebbe said, "Move quickly and pursue them, for the Lord has given them into your hands. Do not stop or agree to a ceasefire.
6 If you stop at Beirut, the terrorists will escape and return to attack you again."
7 But Israel said, "What will the world think?" and agreed to multiple ceasefires. Nine hundred Israeli soldiers died.
8 They waited at Beirut for four months and allowed the terrorists to escape by ship to Tunisia, saying, "Now they won't harm us anymore."
9 But the Rebbe warned, "They will return stronger than before and fight against you, because you didn't destroy them completely."
10 So it has continued to this day: Lebanon has become a haven for terrorists who have grown stronger and more numerous, establishing Hezbollah and Hamas.
11 They have allied with Iran and built missiles and underground tunnels.
12 Thousands of Israelis have died at their hands, and both the north and Gaza have been devastated, because they did not listen to the word of the Lord through his prophet, the Rebbe.

CHAPTER 6: The Intifada and Madrid Conference

1 When Arabs within Israel began killing many Israelis through attacks in cities and on roads,
2 the people of Israel said, "Let's negotiate with them and offer them autonomy."
3 But the Rebbe warned, "Do not speak of autonomy or negotiate with them. This will only lead to more attacks.
4 Even discussing such things will encourage them to kill more Israelis."
5 But Shamir said, "What will America say?" and went to Madrid to negotiate with the Palestinians.

CHAPTER 7: The Gulf War and Russian Immigration

1 Then Iraq declared, "We will destroy Israel with our Scud missiles."
2 But the Rebbe said, "Do not be afraid, for the Lord is protecting you. This marks the beginning of the messianic era."
3 Iraq launched thirty-nine Scud missiles, but only one person died, and that from a heart attack caused by fear.
4 During this time, the Rebbe said, "Build housing for the Russian immigrants, for they are surely coming."
5 But the government replied, "They won't come," and didn't build the housing.
6 Then hundreds of thousands of Russian immigrants arrived, and there weren't enough homes for them.

CHAPTER 8: The Oslo Accords

1 Then Rabin said, "Let us make peace." He shook hands with Arafat and promised many concessions.
2 The Rebbe's warning spread throughout Israel: "Even discussing giving away land endangers Jewish lives."
3 But they did not listen, and hundreds of Israelis died in terror attacks.
4 In 2000, Barak announced, "Let us make peace with the Palestinians."
5 The Rebbe's followers warned, "Don't even speak of giving away land. The Rebbe said such talk itself brings danger."
6 Nevertheless, Barak offered Arafat ninety percent of Judea and Samaria.
7 In response, the Palestinians killed thousands of Israelis and fired rockets from Gaza into Israel.

CHAPTER 9: The Gaza Withdrawal

1 Then the Israelites said, "Let's give Gaza to the Palestinians so we can have peace."
2 The Rebbe's followers warned, "This will bring war, not peace."
3 But Israel gave Gaza to the Palestinians anyway. Since then, they have fought five wars in Gaza.
4 The Palestinians have killed thousands of Israelis and fired tens of thousands of rockets from Gaza.
5 They have smuggled weapons through the Sinai desert—the very land Israel had given to Egypt.

CHAPTER 10: The Captivity and War

1 When Hamas captured Gilad Shalit,
2 many of the Rebbe's followers said, "The Rebbe warned us not to exchange many terrorists for one Jew, as it would lead to more bloodshed."
3 But Netanyahu traded more than a thousand terrorists for Gilad Shalit.
4 Later, Hamas killed over a thousand Israelis, wounded thousands more, and took hundreds captive, fulfilling the warnings that the Lord had given through the Rebbe.
5 When Israeli forces entered Gaza and Lebanon and killed many terrorists,
6 they continued providing food and water to civilians, saying, "We must care about world opinion."
7 Hamas responded, "We won't return the hostages unless you release thousands of terrorists."
8 So Israel released thousands of terrorists in exchange for a few hostages.
9 They agreed to a ceasefire and withdrew from much of Gaza and Lebanon, fearing international criticism.

CHAPTER 11: The Final Understanding

1 Finally, some Israelis understood why the Rebbe had quoted the prophecy: "I called but no one answered, why did I come and find no one?"
2 They understood why he had wept,
3 and why he had spoken so often about not giving away the land.
4 For he had foreseen generations of tears resulting from their failure to heed his warnings about showing weakness against terrorism,
5 about yielding to American pressure,
6 and about giving away the land that the Lord had given them through obvious miracles.
7 All these things happened just as the Lord had spoken through his prophet, the Rebbe.

What I want from a mobile telephone

What I want from a Mobile Telephone 

I'm interested in getting a mobile which is running an operating platform that is compatible with Nokia's OS, or at least it can seamlessly exchange data.

Software Features:

  • Profiles: It should have TIMED profiles - from 7am to 9am Silent Profile, which switxhes to Outdoor Profile afterwards automatically
  • Transfer dictionary to other mobile/PC

TxT: 

  • 'Learn' new words: The spell checker learns new words but it should retain them for future use, and remember them.  Not like the Nokia 7610 that ‘drops’ words as it goes over a certain limit of new words learned!  Otherwise I have to spell every new word all over again.
  • Also, I shouldn't have to 'teach' the mobile new words that have been saved into the spelling checker, after each re-boot (this really happens with my existing Nokia 7610!).
  • Cancel TxT messages from outbox whilst they are still there, waiting to be sent
  • Predictive TxT - When writing an SMS, learn new words and remember it in the dictionary

eMail:

  • Copy and paste sent or received eMail content

Contacts:

  • More flexibility with sent or received Business Cards
  • When sending a Business Card as a TxT message, to be able to edit the message. 
  • Do not send Business Cards as Business Cards only as editable TxT
  • Learn names: When writing a TxT message, the spell checker should allow the usage of stored names in the telephone book.  Otherwise I end up spelling a name once in the telephone book and then again in the text messages. 
  • Transfer contacts to another mobile
  • Find a name or multiple names as I type a number: sometimes I save a number under a new contact, whilst this number is already saved under an existing contact.  As a result, the caller display does not work, as it cannot show both names.
  • When searching for a name, be it a person's name or a company name, it should bring up either (sometimes you remember a name but not the company and vice versa).
  • Predictive Contacts - Find any contact that contains the first search character entered etc. (also referred to as Wild Cards, to describe a search using '*')
  • Capacity to store about 10,000 contacts, each of which will contain Telephone numbers and other data relevant to a particular contact
  • Long Contact Names (more than 12 characters)
  • When transferring contact telephone book to/from Outlook / Act / etc., it should keep the Contact Labels (i.e. Nickname, Son's Tel No, Swiss Mobile) which I ad to contacts, and also keep the details within these fields.
  • Contact Groups that can be transferred to another mobile 

Calendar

  • Transfer Calendar Items from one day to the next
  • Copy Calendar Items from Calendar to TxT Messages, eMail etc.
  • Calendar to have default ON for Alarm
  • Synchronise Calendar, Address Book, Memo and other Notes with PC
  • (Outlook) or MacOS (iCal or Entourage)
  • Connect Calendar to Address Book (or Contacts) so that if I want to set a reminder to call someone I can have a option in both Calendar and Address Book to Make A Reminder/Note (sometimes described in Technical Specifications as "Shared Memory" or "Dynamic Memory")
  • Set recurring appointments for a day, a week, a month or a year - and/or workweekdays (i.e carpooling) only or weekends (i.e. play tennis) only - or a certain day / set of days of the month (i.e. mortgage payment)

Languages:

  • Audio Integration
  • Voice Capture (MP3 or any format that can be transferred as a computer file)
  • Cordless Recharger

Display:

  • When a caller answers a call, it should indicate so on the display

Orthodox Jews find their promised land on Canvey Island

 Orthodox Jews find their promised land on Canvey Island

Canvey Island, where house prices are much lower and “you can hear the birds sing”Alamy

Share

Canvey Island on the Thames estuary has a couple of football clubs, a static caravan park, an average house price of £230,000 and a population of about 38,000. It is a far cry from Stamford Hill, north London, which teems with synagogues, bakeries and £1 million houses, where almost the same number of people live in the strictly orthodox Jewish community.

Despite being worlds apart, overcrowding, soaring house prices and a fast-growing population of large families means that the Haredi Jews, the biggest such population in Europe, have sought a new outpost, and now they have settled on the Essex island.

Ten years ago the community discussed moving en masse to Milton Keynes but the plans never materialised. Pioneers have instead headed 40 miles away to Canvey Island, near Southend, with seven families in the vanguard.

Several Jewish families are moving out of Stamford Hill in north London due to overcrowdingOli Scarff/Getty Images

It is not one of Britain’s most cosmopolitan areas. The island is within one of the ten most pro-Brexit wards and was one of Ukip’s target seats in last year’s general election. Fewer than five per cent of its population was born abroad and it is 98 per cent white.

Joel and Mindy Friedman are among those who have moved an hour’s drive from Stamford Hill to Canvey with their six children.

They paid £380,000 for a modern, five-bedroom house with double garage and conservatory. “You can hear the birds sing,” Mr Friedman said. “We’re more connected to nature here. And the neighbours are lovely.”

The Haredis are optimistic about the move and hope that 50 families will be living there within a year. Having seven or eight children is not uncommon and many families are even larger.

The men dress in long black coats and fedoras or fur hats, with long sidelocks and beards. The women dress modestly and wear wigs. All seven families have bought properties within a 20-minute walk of each other and moved in over the same weekend. A family of philanthropists has reportedly bought a former school in the area at which a private Jewish school and other community facilities will be established. Before moving, Mr Friedman lived and worked in Stamford Hill, surrounded by houses selling for up to £1.5 million.

About 15 per cent of the Haredi community lives in neighbouring Haringey, where a three-bedroom house can cost £900,000. “It’s absolutely bonkers. People haven’t been buying for a number of years. The amount you’d have to borrow, you’d be in debt for all your life — and for a house too small for your family,” Mr Friedman told The Jewish Chronicle. “I have a brother here with 12 children. He managed to buy a house and build a loft but he wouldn’t have been able to build it today because the area has become a conservation area. You can’t put in double-glazing without planning permission.”

The planned community is being managed by a committee of Haredi activists. Instead of interested families buying properties themselves, they refer inquiries to the committee, which scouts for suitable houses.

“If you start having hundreds of calls to local estate agents, then prices start going up and up,” Mr Friedman said.

A second Haredi group hopes to launch an outpost in Westcliff-on-Sea, which is about 20 minutes’ drive from Canvey and already has an Orthodox synagogue near by.

One long-time Canvey resident said that some locals were worried the Haredis could take over but others said it was better than empty homes.

Ann Horgan, head of civic governance at Castle Point council, said: “The council is working with representatives of the Jewish community and Canvey Island and other agencies to make sure this new community is welcomed. We hope this will be to all our mutual benefit and have a positive impact on the local economy.”

Forgotten island

● Canvey Island has been inhabited at least since Roman times but does not attract much attention, with its proximity to Southend-on-Sea.

● Cut off from the mainland by a network of creeks, it is nevertheless easily accessible. At low tide drivers would be forgiven for not realising they were driving on to an island.

● A hundred years ago it was flourishing and between 1911 and 1951 was the fastest growing seaside resort in Britain, but a flood devastated the island in 1953, killing 58 residents and leading to the temporary removal of 13,000 others. It now has two miles of concrete sea walls, protecting the low-lying land. A series of pumps are built into the drainage system, which were tested to the limit in July 2014 when extreme rainfall caused widespread flooding.

● Attractions include the Castle Point Transport Museum, which boasts rare buses, coaches, military and emergency vehicles. Three in ten of the population are aged over 60, compared with 23.4 per cent of the population of England.
