Palestinian detained at SFO, deported is reported killed in West Bank
Awdah Al-Hathaleen, a Palestinian teacher from the West Bank who was recently denied entry to the U.S. by San Francisco immigration authorities when he arrived on a valid visa, was shot and killed today in an altercation with an Israeli settler according to family and Middle East journalists. Phillip Weintraub, a lead organizer of a Palestinian solidarity committee at Kehilla Community Synagogue, who helped sponsor Al-Hathaleen when he attempted to visit San Francisco in June, said he learned of the Al-Hathaleen's death through Alhadlin’s cousin, Eid Hthaleen.

@paulgatling oh the wireless coverage simulator is an interesting angle! I know Avenue afforded users some customized functionality for ArcView but it does seem like MapInfo had a pretty robust third-party tools ecosystem (moreso than Esri? unclear)
@paulgatling wow! What were the Street Pro data sets? And do you know why your job(s) went with using MapInfo?
https://supplystudies.com/research-guide/ I didn't realize this was online--I worked on this research guide for supply chain investigations in 2023-24, and I think it's pretty useful for teaching purposes?
@jeremy glad you enjoyed it!
I emailed the founding CTO of MapInfo about my dissertation and links to my posts about going through his company's old software and he was into it, hooray let's hope he wants to let me come upstate to interview him
