The PA and PLO are flirting with irrelevancy

Middle Eastern analysts concerned with the Palestinian statehood bid have rightly highlighted the benefits conferred by such status. How to Build a Satellite and Why it's Hard. Boycotting fascism? During the last week angry young residents of Tel Aviv have been staging a sit-in, or, more accurately, a tent-in, along fashionable Rothschild Boulevard to protest their being priced out of the housing market in Israel's cultural and economic capital. The protests have drawn the attention of the Israeli and international media, with The Guardian even comparing the protesters to the pro-democracy revolutionaries in Egypt and other Arab countries.

In general a distinction can be made between sound produced using electromechanical means and that produced using electronic technology.[1] Examples of electromechanical sound producing devices include the telharmonium, Hammond organ, and the electric guitar.

Purely electronic sound production can be achieved using devices such as the Theremin, sound synthesizer, and computer.[2] Electronic music was once associated almost exclusively with Western art music but from the late 1960s on the availability of affordable music technology meant that music produced using electronic means became increasingly common in the popular domain.[3] Today electronic music includes many varieties and ranges from experimental art music to popular forms such as electronic dance music.
