Toyota TS050 Hybrid LMP1 Spain's driver Fernando Alonso competes during the 86th edition of the 24h du Mans car endurance race in Le Mans,
LE MANS, France – Toyota won their first 24 Hours of Le Mans on Sunday with Japan&39;s Kazuki Nakajima at the wheel as his two co-drivers Fernando Alonso and fellow former Formula 1 driver Sebastien Buemi watched from the pits.

Alonso, a double Formula 1 world champion, was the star turn here as the 36-year-old seeks a Triple Crown of this race, the F1 Monaco Grand Prix which he has won twice, and the Indy 500, which he still to win.
He strung together a series of fast laps through the night to set up his Toyota to retake the lead on his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut just after dawn on Sunday.
The Spaniard put the Toyota No. 8 in position for Japanese co-driver Kazuki Nakajima to overtake stablemates Toyota No. 7, driven by Kamui Kobayashi, at 06:20 local time (04:20 GMT).
When Alonso took his second turn at the wheel at 0130, the car was 2min 15sec behind No.7 after the car&39;s third driver, Swiss Sebastien Buemi, had picked up a one-minute "stop and go" penalty for speeding in a temporary slow zone.

When Alonso handed over to Nakajima two and a half hours later, the two-time Formula One world champion had closed the gap to 45 seconds, after once again demonstrating his extraordinary ability to adapt, following two brilliant overtaking manoeuvres to claim the lead during his first stint late on Saturday afternoon.
Alonso, who is bidding to complete the second part of motor racing&39;s Triple Crown, climbed out of his car smiling and scarcely showing signs of fatigue.
"I felt good at night. I was in the zone and I pushed to catch up," said the 36-year-old, who has already won the F1 Monaco Grand Prix and also still needs the Indy 500 for the Triple Crown.
"Some of the work is done, but it&39;s still a long race."

Toyota have sometimes seemed jinxed at Le Mans in recent years and the other Toyota picked up a stop-go penalty at 0730 after British driver Mike Conway went too fast in a slow zone.
Yet, at 1000, after 19 hours of racing, the closest pursuers were the two Rebellion Racing non-hybrids, both more than 11 laps back.
Many of the other six entrants in the top category, Le Mans Prototype 1, were having a tougher race.
The SMP Racing car, driven by another former Formula One world champion Jenson Button, spent three hours in the pits with a mechanical problem and one of each the Bykolles and the SMP Racing cars went off the track.

Alumni User asked about
Hi, I'm trying to install Endnote but it's asking for a product key. Hasn't previously done this before. Can you look into this please? Thanks.

Hi Alumni User,
In my experience the 'product key' issue comes up when you've downloaded EndNote onto your desktop and it arrives in a zip file form. Inside this zipped folder you can see an install program, and if you click the install program it asks for a product key.
The way to avoid this is to unzip the folder you've downloaded for EndNote. This will create a new, unzipped folder which contains a similar looking install file. When you run that install file everything should be fine.
Hope this helps!

Conservation Alliance member companies, including Arc'teryx and Moosejaw, will raise funds through creative cause marketing campaigns on November 28.
Once you've polished off your leftover turkey and enjoyed "Opting Outside" on Black Friday, your next holiday landmark is Giving Tuesday, when individuals and corporations open their hearts and wallets on a national day devoted to giving back.
The Conservation Alliance is kicking off a fundraising campaign on Giving Tuesday to help protect and defend wild lands and waters across North America. It plans to use the funds raised to permanently protect threatened wild places in 2018.
For the first time, The Conservation Alliance has created a consumer-facing campaign for Giving Tuesday, called "You Give. We Protect." On November 28, Conservation Alliance member companies will share the campaign through their social media channels and invite their customers to join the outdoor industry's collective effort to add new protected areas to the map by making a donation to The Conservation Alliance. One hundred percent of the funds raised through this campaign will go directly into organization's grant fund.
"Asking our member companies to raise money for The Conservation Alliance on Giving Tuesday is unprecedented, but so are the attacks on our public lands," said Josie Norris, communications and grant program manager at The Conservation Alliance. "Behind every Conservation Alliance member company there is a group of passionate employees who value the protection of wild places, and they are eager to help us increase our investment, and impact, in 2018."
In 2017, The Conservation Alliance awarded $1.75 million in grants to 50 conservation organizations working to protect and defend wild places. The group hopes to increase that amount in 2018.
In addition to sharing the "You Give, We Protect" campaign, the following Conservation Alliance member companies will raise funds for The Conservation Alliance through creative cause marketing campaigns on Giving Tuesday.
Arc'teryx will support The Conservation Alliance through its e-commerce channel and dealer network on Giving Tuesday. The brand will use Promoboxx to encourage dealers and retail stores to help raise money for The Conservation Alliance and the protection of wild places.
Moosejaw will donate 10-percent of sales generated from its "Almost Gift Card" promotion running on Giving Tuesday to The Conservation Alliance. Customers must use the promotion code (FREEMONEY) for the donation to be applied. For more information, visit Moosejaw.com.
Grayl will donate 25 percent of Giving Tuesday revenue to The Conservation Alliance. Grayl purifiers make safe, clean water from virtually any freshwater source. Visit thegrayl.com for more details.
"The Conservation Alliance fights every day to protect America's wild places, which are under threat as never before. Our customers use and love America's public lands, so Grayl is joining the fight," said Travis Merrigan, co-founder of Grayl. "On Giving Tuesday, we're proud to donate 25-percent of sales of our water purifiers to The Conservation Alliance, so our public lands stay public for generations to come."
Wilderness Press will promote the Conservation Alliance campaign on their blogs and social media, and offer a coupon code for an additional 5 percent off products to anyone who donates to the Conservation Alliance on Giving Tuesday.
BoCo Gear will direct a percentage of proceeds on Giving Tuesday to The Conservation Alliance. For more information, visit bocogear.com.

How the Cold War Began
How Did thе Cold War Begin?
[Name of thе writer]
[Name of thе institution]
How did thе Cold War Begin?
Thе Cold War began after World War II. Thе main enemies were thе United States аnd thе Soviet Union. Thе United States аnd thе Soviet Union were thе only two superpowers following thе Second World War. Thе fact that, by thе 1950s, each possessed nuclear weapons аnd thе means of delivering such weapons on their enemies added а dangerous aspect to thе Cold War. Thе Cold War world was separated into three groups. Thе United States led thе West. Thе Soviet Union led thе East. Thе non-aligned group included countries that did not want to be tied to either thе West or thе East. As thе Second World War neared its conclusion, thе future of Eastern Europe became а point of contention between thе Soviet Union аnd its Western allies. Thе Soviet Union was determined to install "friendly" regimes throughout Eastern Europe following thе War. Thе Western democracies, led by thе United States, were determined to stop thе spread of communism аnd Soviet power. Harry Truman was thе first American president to fight thе Cold War. In June 1948 thе Soviets blocked all ways into thе western part of Berlin, Germany. Thе United States received help from Britain аnd France. In thе middle 1950s, thе United States began sending military advisers to help South Vietnam defend itself against communist North Vietnam. In thе 1950s, Israel invaded Egypt. France аnd Britain joined thе invasion. Thе Suez Crisis was а political victory for thе Soviets. In 1961, Cuban exiles invaded Cuba to oust thе communist government of Fidel Castro. In Europe, tens of thousands of East Germans had fled to thе west. East Germans built а wall separating thе eastern аnd western parts of thе city of Berlin (White, 2000). In 1963, thе two sides reached а major arms control agreement. In 1985, Thе Soviet withdrew their forces from Afghanistan. Soon, thе Berlin Wall, thе major symbol of communist oppression, was torn down in November. Аnd two years later, after 45 years of protracted conflict аnd constant tension, thе Cold War ended with thе collapse of thе Soviet Union. Another approach of thе Cold War claims that Soviet expansion was not а response to domestic insecurity but evidence of а sincere commitment to а more literal interpretation of communist ideology. At thе end of thе war thе Soviets were bent on world revolution. Thе Soviets' rhetorical goals correspond to their actual foreign policy behavior. This means that thе Soviets were trying to eliminate capitalism аnd create а monolithic communist world under their tutelage. Empire-building was different for thе Soviets than it had been for thе traditional imperialistic powers of thе nineteenth century. Thе Soviets did not merely desire greater power аnd influence in thе world, they sought to employ their power аnd influence to foster their ideological aspirations. This interpretation offers а rather one-sided view of thе Cold War. By minimizing American culpability for thе conflict аnd placing thе blame on Soviet ideology. Soviet ideology could not have caused thе Cold War if it did not come in conflict with American values аnd beliefs. Thе inability of thе Soviets аnd Americans to come to some consensus on how to achieve cooperation in thе postwar world was due not just to different goals аnd desires. In fact, thе failure of thе two sides to come to some compromise that each side could accept аnd that would recognize each side's vital national interests was caused by thе irreconcilable nature of thе ideological conflict that separated them. Another orthodox interpretation of thе origin of thе Cold War portrays Soviet expansionary tendencies as that of а traditional great power. Many saw thе Soviet annexation of spheres of influence as thе expected if not thе just spoils of thе victor in war. However, thе Soviets, even if...

This book is an enthralling, disturbing, seriously messed up trip. And I loved it.
An alternate history of Vlad the Impaler (recast as a woman, Lada Dragwlya), Mehmed the Great, and Radu the Handsome, this book takes us to the heart of the Ottoman Empire as it sets its sights on Constantinople. Lada and her brother Radu become pawns in their father's capitulation to the Sultan and befriend young Mehmed before his rise to the throne.
Above all, And I Darken, the first book in a trilogy, is Lada's origin story. It recounts the childhood and adolescence that forms the ruthless ruler she'll become.
Here a couple things writers can learn from White's gender-bent history of an intriguing historical trio.
1. Use POV to your advantage.
In alternating third-person close POV chapters, Lada and Radu tell the story of their childhood in Wallachia (modern-day Romania), their captivity in the Ottoman Empire, and their growing friendship––and maybe more––with Mehmed, one of the Sultan's sons. And this may be the best use of alternating POV chapters I've ever read.
Lada is an intense, driven, violent character. She has her reasons for being so––I'll dig into this in the next section––and White takes care to build empathy for this complex, wounded girl. Even so, spending the entire novel in her head would have been…a bit much. White made a savvy choice to alternate Lada's first-person perspective with her brother Radu's. In many ways, the siblings are foils for each other. The novel is all the richer for their interwoven, conflicting, nuance-crafting points of view.
Where Lada is strong and guarded to a fault, Radu is vulnerable, self-doubting, and sensitive. When the siblings are young, all Radu wants is to belong––but Lada rejects him, preferring to spend time with their nurse's rough-and-tumble son. As Lada and Radu grow, their relationship does, too. It's fascinating to watch their dual perspectives as they navigate misunderstandings, conflicts, and sibling love.
The alternating perspectives allow White to explore nuances of the novel's historical and cultural setting, too. Lada and Radu experience their world in such a different way, both at home in Wallachia, with a cruel father who hates Radu's weakness and reluctantly comes to respect Lada, and under the care of the Sultan in the heart of the Ottoman Empire. Radu embraces Islam, with its rituals and brotherhood and sense of belonging and peace. Meanwhile, Lada finds the religion useless––it cannot give her the thing she craves most: control over her life. While Radu finds the call to prayer calming and stirring to his soul, Lada detests it as a frequent reminder of how far she is from her home.
2. Deeply understand your characters so your readers can, too.
Many Goodreads reviewers called out the same brutal paragraph of Lada's dialogue:
"On our wedding night," she said, "I will cut out your tongue and swallow it. Then both tongues that spoke our marriage vows will belong to me, and I will be wed only to myself. You will most likely choke to death on your own blood, which will be unfortunate, but I will be both husband and wife and therefore not a widow to be pitied."
When I read that, I figured Lada would be a Frank Underwood–style antihero: one I love to hate, but am not exactly rooting for. But Lada's not a Frank Underwood at all. She's a complicated hero, but one we can root for without reservations (…so far, at least). White achieves this by understanding her protagonist deeply, so readers can understand her, too.
Lada bites and stabs and plots and kills, but it's out of necessity: it's what she has to do to secure her place in the world. To gain power. And above all––in my reading––it's what she has to do to distinguish herself from her mother.
Early in the book, young Lada watches her mother crawl across the floor at the behest of Lada and Radu's father. In an instant, Lada learns: women are powerless. Women are weak. And she will do anything she can to keep from being one of those weak, powerless women.
Later, this assessment grows more complicated, as Lada begins to see there's more than one way to gain power. But the important piece here, the one we can take away as writers, is that Lada's fear of weakness has an origin. We see this image so clearly on the page––young Lada, horrified as her mom prostrates herself. And just as the image burns into Lada's mind, it burns into our minds, too.
From then on, we're unabashedly cheering for this ambitious, complicated, troubled, brilliant girl.

The cave, which is the second cave in two months to be discovered in Barabad, was found thanks to a collaborative effort between the regional Mountain Climbing Committee and the Red Crescent Mountain Rescue team. Some 270 km south of provincial capital Mashhad, the cave is inhabited by bats, and reports suggest skeletal remains of certain mammalian species have been discovered within the cave. Countless undiscovered caves abound in Khvaf country, according to aerial images taken last year by the Iranian Cavers and Speleologists Association.

Daily Devotion on 1 John 1:1-2:2
Text: 1 John 1:1-2:2
If you were to die today, what lasting message would you want left behind? How would you want people to remember you? What would have been the purpose of your life?
Deep questions for a Tuesday morning, I know, but I can't help but think them as I read this section from 1 John. John was writing to "make his joy complete." John didn't know when he would die, but before he did he wanted to make sure that the legacy he left was the right one.
This is the legacy of John: John saw Jesus Christ with his own eyes. All the miracles recorded in the Bible… he witnessed them. John watched the miracle of redemption take place before his very eyes. He stood at the foot of the cross and watched Jesus die… three days later he saw Jesus in the flesh, he heard him speak, he touched his warm, living flesh.
John heard from the mouth of God what all of this meant for the world. Though all of us have been contaminated with sin the blood of Jesus purifies us from this sin. When we sin we have forgiveness because of what Jesus did.
This was the legacy John wanted left behind. If his early readers remembered nothing else, John wanted them to remember this: Jesus Christ is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. Knowing that others knew this would make John's joy complete. Knowing that Jesus was being preached made John ready for death whenever it came.
This fact, that Jesus died for our sins, is the single most important thing in the world. The most important thing we Christians can do is to make sure that the next generation knows this truth. This is the Christian legacy; this is the purpose for our lives on this earth. This is the message we have heard from John, who heard it from Christ. This is the message we declare to the world that we may all enjoy fellowship with each other and with God.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we know that your Word will endure until the end of days. We also know that you have chosen to use us as your ambassadors to this world. Give us the strength to keep our eyes focused on Christ our sacrificial Lamb as we live out our time on this side of eternity. Open our eyes to the world so that we can see all the people who need to hear about Jesus. In your Son's name we pray, Amen.

text: The IRGC is estimated to have 125,000 personnel, comprised of army, navy and air units [File: AFP] Iranian officials have cautioned the United States against pushing ahead with a rumoured move to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a "terrorist" group, warning it could destabilise the region and draw a tit-for-tat response. The expected shift in Washington's policy was initially reported by the Wall Street Journal on Friday, which cited unnamed US officials claiming it could be rolled out as soon as Monday. Seen as part of a broader effort to make good on US President Donald Trump's vow to take a tougher line against Iran, the proposal would - if implemented - mark an unprecedented step against an entire institution of a foreign government. It would also go far beyond pre-existing sanctions put in place by the US to target entities linked to the IRGC, including the Quds Force, which is in charge of the force's operations abroad. On Sunday, Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said such a measure was "another US disaster" in the making, and warned of the consequences it could have. "#NetanyahuFirsters who have long agitated for FTO designation of the IRGC fully understand its consequences for US forces in the region," Zarif wrote on Twitter, referring to supporters of Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, Iran's regional archenemy. "In fact, they seek to drag US into a quagmire on his behalf. @realDonaldTrump should know better than to be conned into another US disaster," Zarif added. #NetanyahuFirsters who have long agitated for FTO designation of the IRGC fully understand its consequences for US forces in the region. In fact, they seek to drag US into a quagmire on his behalf.@realDonaldTrump should know better than to be conned into another US disaster. pic.twitter.com/i4bcfgxybT — Javad Zarif (@JZarif) April 7, 2019 Iran readies 'reciprocal' response Separately, Mohammad Ali Jafari, the IRGC's commander, said US troops stationed in the Middle East would "lose their current status of ease and serenity" should Washington went ahead with "such foolishness" and warned of a "reciprocal move" from Tehran. "If reports prove to be true that the stupid US administration intends to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, then the IRGC [Revolutionary Guards] will also specify the US army as a group like ISIL in all parts of the world, specially the Middle-East," Jafari said, using the acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group, also known as ISIS. 180523053245629 Jafari's remarks coincided with a statement issued by a majority of Iranian legislators confirming that the country's parliament would respond-in-kind to any shift by Washington, according to a report by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency. Iran's most powerful security organisation, the IRGC was set up to protect the country's Shia clerical ruling system after its 1979 Islamic Revolution, which toppled the Western-allied secular monarch Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and led to the formation of the Islamic Republic. The force is in charge of Iran's ballistic missiles and nuclear programmes, and answers directly to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It is estimated to have 125,000 personnel, comprised of army, navy and air units. After the 1980s' Iran-Iraq war, the IRGC also became heavily involved in reconstruction and has expanded its economic interests to include a vast network of businesses, ranging from oil and gas projects to construction and telecommunication.

China's rise as a technology powerhouse has been meteoric in the past decade. Once mediocre at best, China's facial recognition technology has matured beyond expectations.
The fundamental of facial recognition is to capture the image of a human's face on a camera and compare the facial nodes against a number of records in the database. The key challenge of facial recognition is achieving a low error rate in matching the results.
China is undoubtedly working diligently in overcoming the hurdle.
In 2017, China declared that it is building a massive facial recognition capable of matching against its record of 1.3 billion citizens within 3 seconds with 90% accuracy. While the gigantic system is yet to be completed, China's push in facial recognition technology has been felt in smaller scales.
A subway station in Zhengzhou has put a facial recognition payment system to the test, with 200,000 voluntary users opting for payment via face scan. This recent trial in September 2019 means users no longer have to flip out their smartphones for payments when using the service.
In Hangzhou, a safari park has adopted facial recognition for ticket purchases. A KFC outlet also offered a 'smile to pay' option with the aid of a facial recognition system and smartphone. The Hangzhou Marriott Hotel has also incorporated facial recognition check-in for guests.
Schools, airports, ride-sharing, retails, and banking are not spared from the technology invasion. Things get interesting when China's government uses facial recognition technology in enforcement and regulation. Its name-and-shame campaign against jaywalkers in Shanghai raises eyebrows.
However, it is China's recent regulation of making facial recognition scans mandatory for mobile user's registration that will suggest the scale of the technology application in the near future.
Facial recognition technology is a double-edged sword, and the people in China are feeling both the convenience and concerns of its use. Boarding commuters by just showing your face to the camera is indeed convenience. Smiling to pay for Colonel Sander's finest crispy chicken redefines fast-food.
But the real concerns are how secure is the database and the potential of privacy intrusion. 79% of China's citizens are worried about data leaks, which may lead to fraud. In all fairness, China's data privacy laws are way lacking compared to its superior technology.
The lack of regulations has also led to a public outcry on how the technology is implemented. A professor has sued the Hangzhou safari for acquiring his biometric data without consent, while parents are outraged when facial recognition systems are set up in a university in Nanjing without prior notice.
China's 'obsession' with facial recognition also triggered worries that it will be used to suppress political dissent, such as in the Xinjiang region and spread to other autocratic countries that share similar ideologies.
There's no doubt that China will continue its push with facial recognition ambition. For the locals, the question remains if it has the political will to curb leaks and misuse of the astronomical records in the database.

Rob Van Dam entered into a rivalry with Jerry Lynn in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) in 1999, and he would defend the ECW World Television title at Hardcore Heaven (a rematch from their match 2 months prior at Living Dangerously) in a "no time limit" match. Since the match was deemed so good by ECW officials, wrestlers, and fans alike, ECW owner/promoter Paul Heyman aired it on ECW's debut episode on TNN in place of a shoot (i.e., non-scripted, non-storyline) promo about TNN that he was planning, but was not allowed to air. This turned out to be the beginning of ECW's issues with that network due to the raw deal they had with TNN that put them at a disadvantage from the very start of they're business relationship.
The first time I ever watched this match in it's entirety was not on pay-per-view, but almost a year after it occurred, when I purchased my first ECW VHS tape entitled "ECW: Extreme Evolution" (and yes, I said VHS; they've been getting a lot of love from me this week). The quality of the match reinforced Van Dam's nickname of "The Whole F'n Show," and even christened the new nickname for Jerry Lynn as "The NEW F'n Show." Van Dam continued to defend the ECW World Television Championship for the remainder of the year, up until forfeiting the belt due to breaking his ankle. Today, Van Dam is still wrestling, this time for Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, while Jerry Lynn is on a retirement tour, with his most recent match being with Texas-based Anarchy Championship Wrestling (ACW) for their "Peace, Love & Anarchy 2012" event on April 15th in Austin, Texas.

Every two years, Disney pulls out all the stops at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, with new merchandise, fan experiences, and—most relevant to the crowd who can't make it out to enjoy the event first-hand—big announcements. On Friday afternoon, Disney chief Alan Horn and Disney animation guru John Lasseter took the stage for nearly two hours to tease upcoming films from Pixar, Disney Animation, and Disneytoon Studios. From Disney Princesses on parade to a shower of marigold petals and every animated announcement in between, here's what you need to know.
Disneytoon Studios: Space
The first presentation was a seat-shaking animation test from Disneytoon Studios, where high-flying jets with animated faces that might look familiar to fans of Planes, the 2013 spin-off of Pixar's Cars, raced through the sky. After the planes finished zooming, the title card read "Space," which quickly dissolved into This Space to Be Filled With a Title When We Think of One. The untitled sound-barrier-breaking film is slated for April 12, 2019.
Olaf's Frozen Adventure and Frozen 2
Next up, the team behind Frozen teased both the 21-minute holiday short Olaf's Frozen Adventure and the full-fledged sequel titled, for now, simply Frozen 2. (Though D23 jokingly flashed some other title options, like Fro-Yo, Frozen Dinners, Frozen Assets, and Thawed on the screen behind Lasseter.) Kristen Bell appeared to announce Olaf himself, Josh Gad, who took the stage to sing one of the short film's four new songs, That Time of Year, from songwriters Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson. The lyrics here, exploring a variety of multicultural holiday traditions, are a little sharper and more acerbic than the ones Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Bobby Lopez wrote for the original film. Nevertheless, Olaf's Frozen Adventure, which will premiere in theaters in front of Pixar's Coco in November and features the entire original Frozen voice cast, is guaranteed to provide a best-selling holiday album for Disney this year. Parents should brace themselves for it to be played on repeat.

GEORGE TOWN (Cayman Islands) • World 100 metres and 200m record holder Usain Bolt opened his 2016 season on Saturday with a 100m victory in 10.05sec at the Cayman Invitational.
Making his first strides on the road to the Rio Olympics in August, the Jamaican crossed the finish line 0.07 of a second ahead of American runner-up Dentarius Locke.
"It wasn't the best, but as long as I come out injury-free, that's the key thing," Bolt said. "I didn't feel as smooth as I wanted to, but as I always say, it's hard to just come into your first race and do extra well."
Jamaican Kemar Bailey-Cole, who trains with Bolt at Racers Track Club, was third in 10.18 with a light tailwind of 0.1m/sec.
Bolt is planning his campaign with the aim of retaining his 100m, 200m and 4x100m Olympic crowns in Brazil, seeking an unprecedented third gold medal in a row in all three events in what he has said will be his final Olympics.
The 29-year-old, who races in Ostrava in the Czech Republic this week, said he is not worried about his form.
"It's just more races," he said. "My coach will determine what I need to work on but right now, it's just more races. The more races I run, the better I will feel so I am just looking forward to running more races and see what happens.
"I am never worried. I've been in worse situations. It's just race rusty. I can tell. I could feel the difference from when you are flying from when you are not."
The superstar had not competed since winning three golds at last August's World Championships in Beijing. Bolt, who owns the 100m world record at 9.58 and the 200m mark of 19.19, was off his pre-meet projection of a victory in 9.91.

Multiple Languages
This feature is only available on our Premium plan.
Our Multiple Languages feature allows you to create one campaign and translate it into several different languages. The benefit of this feature is that you do not need to create separate campaigns for each language you want to run it in. Each language you create will appear in a drop down menu at the top of your promotion, and users can simply switch the language of the campaign to their native language.
Test out this example:
Watch the video below for an overview on how to use the Multiple Languages feature:
Set default language on the entry form
If you would like to set a default language on the entry form that appears on every page you embed it on, simply click and drag the language to the top on your promotion.
Force a default language via URL
If you're running a campaign in several different languages and want to use separate URLs to link users to the correct language, you simply need to get the ID of the language and append it to the URL like this:
To get this ID, simply click edit on the language, and in the address field you will see the ID you need to use.
Force a default language on pageload
If you're running your campaign in several different languages and embedding that campaign into several different pages that correspond to the respective language, you can force a language to appear on pageload.
An example of this is if you are running your campaign in English and French. You might have a URL that goes to 'yourwebsite.com/en' and a URL that goes to 'yourwebsite.com/fr'. When someone views the /en link, you want to show them the campaign in English, and when someone views the /fr link, you want to show them the campaign in French.
To do this, simply include the below script directly above the code snippet for your campaign on the pages you embedded it on.
<script> var vs_language='233'; </script>
233 is the variable that needs to be changed here, to correspond with the proper ID of the language you want to have appear.
To get this ID, simply click edit on the language, and in the address field you will see the ID you need to use.
We're here to help

This being finally spring and me walking around window shopping in the sun I suddenly had the urge to purchase a nice watch. Something shiny. I haven't really worn a watch in twenty years and my last one was some kind of quartz crap thing I suppose i (got) bought in a department store. But now I feel i want something real. Also as a romantic gesture I'd like to buy my girlfriend something similar. Mind you no partner look but something that looks nice together.
Couple of ideas:
Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso
Rolex Datejust
Breguet Classique
Budget is about 20k for both, so probably I can get two mid-level Rolex or two very entry-level JLC or Breguets. Additional considerations are that this being my first nice watch to buy i will wear it quite a lot and won't be able to buy another one until maybe next year. Also, now that I get a nice watch I might just get one that that every idiot can identify as nice watch. Or we get two Swatches and do 2 awesome vacations with the $$$.
Ideas, suggestions? Do you wear a watch and if so which one?

This is design to make you feel – spatial playgrounds carved out, punched through, undulating
The finalists in this year's AR Emerging Architecture Awards have forgone the luminescence of Silicon Valley toys; the slickness of screens and renders. Instead among these 18 projects we find a culinary architecture – all flavour and texture. There is a celebration of craftsmanship, light and views, plans and sections cranked for no function but the joy of the visitor. A participatory architecture – perhaps inspired by the winner of last year's prize, the red labyrinthine staircase by Supermachine Studio – it invites you to come and play.
Although architectural awards have proliferated since the launch of this accolade in 1999, few honours have the legacy or the £10,000 prize fund that accompany AR Emerging Architecture. In their first year alone, the awards recognised Shigeru Ban, Schmidt Hammer Lassen and Sauerbruch Hutton, selected from some 900 entries. The AR can take no credit for their individual talents, but the award galvanised the success of these architects by promoting them on a global stage.
The impetus to launch a prize for emerging architects was to 'discover talent in an as yet generally unrecognised generation' – so wrote then editor Peter Davey in the inaugural awards edition. The upper age limit for entrants was set at 45 because it was felt unlikely that an architect could produce anything of their own with 'clear personal expression' much before then. As little has changed with regards to the length of training and apprenticeship required in the profession, to be under the age of 45 is still a criterion to enter the awards, but the prize fund, once divided among several winners, is now given to a single recipient. The small judging panel changes from year to year, and has included too many luminaries to mention – this year's panel comprises Valerio Olgiati, Charles Holland and Benedetta Tagliabue.
As a first in the history of the awards, which have always been judged on A3 boards submitted by the architects, we have not announced the winner in this edition. As I write this, the finalists are travelling to London to present their project to the judges, after which the prize will be awarded. While it would be preferable to visit the projects in person – as we do for other AR Awards before choosing a winner – the presentations provide the opportunity for these young architects to meet the judges, and form an integral part of the process. After all, the future success of an architect does not depend solely on their creativity as expressed in a single project, but also requires the ability to sell a dream.
As an arbiter of talent, Emerging Architecture has anointed many on the basis of their work. But if we consider the awards' most successful alumni – Bjarke Ingels, Sou Fujimoto, Thomas Heatherwick and company – a common link is the charisma of the architects themselves. Across a dining table, they unfailingly make for enthralling company, which can also be said of Foster, Moussavi, Levete, Piano and Zumthor. The cult of personality has become even more important in this starmaker age, where everyone is a brand. But celebrity aside, even an unknown architect must be capable of communicating ideas clearly and with passion. There must be an abundance of optimism and conviction – enough to convince a client to part with a significant sum of money, and weather the obfuscation of building permissions and the setbacks of construction to spur a project on.
As editors, we are excited when we discover never-before-seen projects. Awards have made it easier for architects to make themselves known to us – sending in their work for consideration. Although awards programmes have become ubiquitous (and vary wildly in quality), the better prizes can help drive a career as an independent marker of quality. As for the shortlisting, what a journey: there were entries from every continent except Antarctica, from temporary pavilions to national museums. I wish the finalists the best of luck and I look forward to meeting them in London.

The Potsuwi'i linear incised pieces quickly became the incised and slipped polychrome pottery of the late 1930's. This allowed the potters to create new imagery. The top and base are typically polished red while the central band has matte (unpolished) clay colors of red, white, and tan. This jar has the early deep red clay slip on the rim and the base. The complex design has birds and flowers. It is signed on the bottom in the clay, "Luteria Atencio". The jar is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.
Luteria was one of the Original Eight San Juan potters who revived the art form in the 1930s. She is a fascinating personality who promoted San Juan pottery and art throughout her career. Her grandson, Mike Bird, is a well-known jeweler. At San Juan, the Pueblo was renown for their pottery but by about 1890 there were no potters left. In 1930 Regina Cata organized a pottery study group at San Juan Pueblo with the intent of revitalizing pottery production. The group studied ancient potsherds of wares made at San Juan in earlier times and selected Potsuwi'i Incised Ware (1450-1500) as a basis for a contemporary pottery type.

The business section of the Guardian had an interesting article yesterday. It comes from David Pegg and it is about targeting customers. In the article we see a prominent picture of Robert Redford (at http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jul/15/sky-broadband-customers-targeted-allegedly-pirating-robert-redford-film). So what is at play here?
Here we see 'US firm TCYK, apparently named after film The Company You Keep, made Sky hand over details of customers accused of downloading movie', which comes with the opening quote "Dozens of UK broadband customers have received letters from a US firm accusing them of pirating a little-known Robert Redford film and inviting them to pay a financial settlement on pain of further legal action". You see TCYK got a court order against Sky Broadband, which must now hand over customer details of those TCYK accuses of using torrent sites to download and distribute the films.
These people now get the offer of paying a hefty fine or end up in a legal battle.
So, how does that work in Australia? Well, here we depend on the Copyright Act 1968, where we see in section 36(1) "Subject to this Act, the copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work is infringed by a person who, not being the owner of the copyright, and without the licence of the owner of the copyright, does in Australia, or authorizes the doing in Australia of, any act comprised in the copyright", which means you made the movie, you are licensed to handle the movie, or you own the copyright, if you are none of these three, you become the infringer.
Now we get to the nitty gritty of the act (sections 43A and 43B) when we consider 'temporary reproductions', which starts of nicely in section 43A(1) with "The copyright in a work, or an adaptation of a work, is not infringed by making a temporary reproduction of the work or adaptation as part of the technical process of making or receiving a communication", with the crown part 'temporary reproduction of the work or adaptation as part of the technical process', which takes Sky Broadband out of the loop in all this, because Sky just sends packages from point A to Point B and as such, they do not keep any parts of that they communicate, they only keep the logs of what is communicated.
In subsection 2 of section 43A we see "Subsection (1) does not apply in relation to the making of a temporary reproduction of a work, or an adaptation of a work, as part of the technical process of making a communication if the making of the communication is an infringement of copyright", which might put Sky in the hotspot, yet Sky is at this point an innocent disseminator of information (you know that anti-censoring part people all love), so Sky must prove that by handing over the records. This now counters the (what I would regard as fake indignation) from Michael Coyle, a solicitor advocate at Lawdit Solicitors, who stated regarding the act of Sky Broadband "They should be fighting tooth and nail not to have this information released", to which I would state "Yes, because we should always protect the people engaging in illegal acts!" more important is the part that comes next "TCYK says that it hired a "forensic computer analyst" to identify IP addresses of computers that were making the film available online" so it seems that those watching the movie are not high on the list, it is about the distributors, those who made the movie available online. So there are two parts. The first part 'temporary reproductions', is a part we are still looking at, yet 'distribution', which we will also look at.
As Sky is protecting itself by showing themselves to be innocent disseminators, we need to see the logs, part of that is to give evidence that you (or they) are working on a temporary reproduction.
Temporary what?
OK, let's take YouTube, when you watch a movie, a trailer, a TV Show, you are looking at a temporary reproduction. The movie is streamed into the memory of your computer and once the link is severed at ANY GIVEN MOMENT, the movie cannot be watched and it cannot be re-watched' it must be pushed into the memory of your computer again. This is different from Torrent systems where a file, temporary or not is actually saved to your computer. This is the confusing part, whether it is a temporary file (what the people refer to as temporary) is actually 'just a file' that file remains on your computer, just like many other 'temporary' files.
I know, it is still confusing! Let me elaborate, when windows or a windows application needs to handle data, it created a file that changes all the time, we refer to them as temporary files. The UNIX reference is much better, they are called 'scratch files'. So if you download a PDF, it will create a file, and that file will capture all the packages and add them together. That is done until the file is complete, when the download is completed the file gets written becoming the permanent file. This is the normal way for operating systems to work. The issue is that something is written (read: saved) onto your local destination, when this is done, it is by sheer definition no longer a temporary file. this is the part that is taken care of in Section 43A, now as long as there is no way to make the 'temporary file' work via an application of any kind, you can also rely on section 43B of the act where we see in subsection 1 "Subject to subsection (2), the copyright in a work is not infringed by the making of a temporary reproduction of the work if the reproduction is incidentally made as a necessary part of a technical process of using a copy of the work". This now shows my explanation of temporary reproduction, where we refer to 'incidentally made as a necessary part of a technical process', which could make that part a no go area, was it not for the first part where we saw 'Subject to subsection (2)', which is now the issue as this does not apply as per section 43B (2)(a) relying on both (i) which states "if the reproduction is made from an infringing copy of the work", and the irritating use of the 'or' statement for (ii) "a copy of the work where the copy is made in another country and would be an infringing copy of the work if the person who made the copy had done so in Australia", which takes care of any 'border' issues.
So, here we are with an infringed work, so what about the words of Michael Coyle?
Well, for this we need to look at Part V remedies and offenses, specifically 'Division 2AA Limitation on remedies available against carriage service providers', which now puts poor poor old Sky Broadband in the limelight! It is a bit of a puzzle, but in short it amounts to "A carriage service provider must satisfy the relevant conditions set out in Subdivision D before the limitations on remedies apply" (a bit paraphrased), this is set in section 116AH, where we see that the carriage service must provide the following two elements for ALL category transgressions
- "The carriage service provider must adopt and reasonably implement a policy that provides for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts of repeat infringers"
- "If there is a relevant industry code in force—the carriage service provider must comply with the relevant provisions of that code relating to accommodating and not interfering with standard technical measures used to protect and identify copyright material"
This is only the first of several elements that address the part that the Guardian stated "TCYK says that it hired a "forensic computer analyst" to identify IP addresses of computers that were making the film available online", that part is also needed for Sky Broadband to prove that limitations 'a' and 'b' were adhered to. For this we need to take a look to a case (mentioned below) where we see at [697] "The question whether a person has supplied the means with which copyright has been infringed raises its own difficult issues. The primary judge concluded that the BitTorrent system was the means by which the appellants' copyright was infringed. But I cannot see why the means with which the primary infringers committed acts of infringement must be so narrowly defined. The primary infringers used computers which were no less essential to their infringing activities than was the BitTorrent system. The same is true of the internet connections with which they made the appellants' films available online"
More important, at [505] we see "It follows that customers, by entry into the CRA, consented to iiNet disclosing and using information, including personal information as defined, for the purpose of iiNet administering and managing the services provided pursuant to the CRA. Part of that administration and management includes compliance with the CRA. In circumstances where iiNet has received evidence of breaches of its CRA (for example, cl 4.2(a) and (e)) the customer has necessarily consented to iiNet using information it possesses, including personal information, to determine whether to take action under cl 14.2 of the CRA", which all comes from the case Roadshow Films Pty Limited v iiNet Limited [2011] FCAFC 23, which means that Sky Broadband is going through the motions iiNet in Australia went through 4 years ago. This is important, because the customer relationship agreement is a legal scope that the customer agrees to, which allows for disclosure and more important, now looking at the 'limitation on remedy' or bluntly put 'the massive amount of money TCYK will demand of Sky Broadband if they cannot satisfy conditions' is where we see actions from Sky Broadband to disclose information.
In addition we need to see the satisfied part "Any transmission of copyright material in carrying out this activity must be initiated by or at the direction of a person other than the carriage service provider", that part is given by the logs as the viewer did the 'click here to watch full movie', basically that means that the user initiated the act. In addition, there is "The carriage service provider must not make substantive modifications to copyright material transmitted. This does not apply to modifications made as part of a technical process", showing that whatever solution was used, Sky broadband passed through the information as part of what it is supposed to do as an ISP.
In the end, this will be a messy battle and there is one part that holds less water. It is the statement "Nicolas Chartier, the president of Voltage Pictures, told the Hollywood Reporter this year that he had issued 20,000 lawsuits against individuals accused of pirating the Hurt Locker in order to "make a statement". "The day after we announced 20,000 lawsuits, the internet downloads of Hurt Locker went down about 40%"", I am not sure if that will be the end this time, Hollywood has been clasping down in several ways. We see the 10 movies that make a billion, but the hundreds of others that aren't slicing the cake are not in there, as such Hollywood is now lashing out all over Terra 'non US' and we see that it will hit Australia too, even more direct when the TPP becomes fact, at that point having a computer with logs pointing to it with irrefutable evidence might literally cost you your house. There is one side in the TPP that remains undiscussed, especially, as I personally see it behind the closed doors of the TPP negotiations. In all this America relies on fair use, in all this they are eager to criminalise that what is not criminal within the US, it makes for another case.
If we accept the following "Some historians prefer 'slave' because the term is familiar and shorter and it accurately reflects the inhumanity of slavery, with 'person' implying a degree of autonomy that slavery did not allow for".
Now we convert that sentence into "Some politicians prefer 'user' because the term is familiar and shorter and it accurately reflects the chargeability of usage, with 'US consumer' implying a degree of freedom that users are not allowed to have" This is as I see it exactly the core and the broken foundation of the TPP, there is no fair use and there is no accountability on the other side, by all means the TPP ignores the constitutions of more than one nation. This was raised by Alan Morrison in The Atlantic on June 23rd 2015 (at http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/06/tpp-isds-constitution/396389/). The quote in question is "It is January 2017. The mayor of San Francisco signs a bill that will raise the minimum wage of all workers from $8 to $16 an hour effective July 1st. His lawyers assure him that neither federal nor California minimum wage laws forbid that and that it is fine under the U.S. Constitution. Then, a month later, a Vietnamese company that owns 15 restaurants in San Francisco files a lawsuit saying that the pay increase violates the "investor protection" provisions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement recently approved by Congress", this is a situation that could be a reality.
You see, this relates to the case at hand in more than one way. In my view, TCYK has every right to protect its side, the movie it made and the revenue coming from that, so I am not against prosecuting copyright infringement at all. Yet, in all this the shift that TPP will allow for is a situation where 'investor protection' will bring a case which will be heard by three private arbitrators; the United States government is the sole defendant in that given scenario. More important, it will be a case brought by "investor-based expectations", I think we can clearly see the link when we consider "Village Roadshow's revenue and profits are below expectations, which was down 1.9% to $469.5 million for the six months to December. Net profit was lower by 26.2% to $13.34 million", so in this case Village Roadshow blamed the weather, yet Village roadshow has blamed piracy on many occasions, so the moment we see a court case based on 'investor-based expectations', we should all become weary of this becoming an option the regain revenue from a mismanaged product (which is far-fetched but not out of the question).
So why these jumps?
- It might be a movie piracy case in the UK, but the result will hit Australia sooner rather than later and vice versa.
- Infringement is a growing 'market' and as such, especially in dire times, the industry at large wants to recoup parts of their losses due to infringement, yet will it truly hunt down the real perpetrators?
- Too many people rely on their ignorance and 'they did not know'. This defence is now slowly but surely coming to an end, it is more and more an accepted rule that if you did not buy the article, or pay for it, how come you watched it?
- The TPP will change EVERYTHING! This closed door agreement is all about 'indulging' big business whilst big business is not playing the game fairly to begin with. In its core it can be seen as a discriminatory violation of 'fair use' and 'constitutional values'.
In all this I jumped at Village Roadshow more than once. Personally I think that Graham Burke has been playing a lose rant game too often, whilst trying not to step on the toes of Telstra and Optus, but that might just be me! In addition, I have additional issues with Federal Attorney-General George Brandis regarding past events. This all links to an article last April in the Sydney Morning Herald (at http://www.smh.com.au/business/village-roadshow-wants-to-work-with-isps-instead-of-suing-movie-pirates-20150416-1mj8cd.html), where we see the quotes "The document centres on a "three strikes" system. An illegal downloader will get three warning notices before a Telco will help copyright holders identify them for potential legal action", which sounds fine, yet in that part, if at any time the IP address was hijacked, there will not be any evidence absolving the accused person, so the one in court could be the victim in all this. In my view, this is a warped solution to the court case Village Roadshow lost against iiNet, meaning that other avenues need to be taken, which now reflects back to the UK case of Sky Broadband, which could hit Australian legislation. The next quote is "Federal Attorney-General George Brandis and Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull set a 120-day deadline last December for internet service providers and entertainment companies to create a binding code", which is indeed central but not in the way reported on. You see, Telstra and Optus are all about bandwidth, the more you use, the better the invoice from their point of view. This is part of the move we see all over the internet in the last article I wrote regarding the short-sightedness of Graham Burke, in the article 'The real issue is here!' (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/06/17/the-real-issue-here/), which also reflected on the article 'FACT on Piracy?' (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2014/01/03/fact-on-piracy/) from January 3rd 2014. These articles connect through ISP's like Telstra and Optus who have been rescaling their bandwidth plans. The consequence of losing out on 4 billion a year. Now Telstra offers 50GB for $75 a month, smaller plans no longer exist, they have been pushing for new broadband boundaries so that their revenue is less impacted, so the impact of $40 and $80 a month is now decreased to an optional loss of $20 and $40 a month. It was (as I personally saw it) always about time and retrenching. It has been forever about big business! By the way, it is not just Telstra, others like iiNet have done the same thing, offering a new margin, reset to the width that has never been offered before. It is about rescaling the broadband plans, which results in resetting expectations and preparing for new data usage adherence.
You keep what you kill fits perfectly, it comes from the Riddick movies, which is basically the credo of a survivor, in this day and I agree, in this economy it is about lasting the longest and as such, they keep what they kill, which are the copyright infringers and their technologies. I do not oppose it, as I feel that owners of copyright are entitled to protect their assets. Yet, when we read Graham Burke we see "He said Australian film producers were trying to educate the public rather than sue them", which might seem true enough, but behind that, I suspect, is the fear that if the Australian Copyright Act 1968 adds the 'Fair Use' principle, his education boat will sink on the spot, moreover, whatever US pressure we get from the TPP, gets drowned by Fair Use, because if it is good enough for Americans, it should be good enough for non-Americans too.
Last in all this is Matthew Deaner, executive director of Screen Producers Australia, who made a fair statement in the SMH article "They're trying to say, 'this is the right way to go about this stuff, this has a consequence to us'," Mr Deaner said", which we can get behind, yet the colourful rants by both Graham Burke and Sony executives on the utter non-realistic loss of billions is a consequence as well. By not properly and realistically setting the view, whilst, as I personally saw it, Sony executives were hiding behind excuses regarding missed targets that were never realistic to begin, which soured the milk of reality and reasonability.
Will this affect Australia?
Roadshow Films Pty Ltd v iiNet Ltd [2012] HCA 16 was settled in the High Court of Australia, yet the essential changes to copyright, the impact of the Trans Pacific Partnership (once signed) will also impact the future. The lack of a 'fair use' clause is as I see it an essential first step to protect those not engaged in active copyright infringement as well as allowing for innocuous acts not to be struck down in favour of big business in a draconian way. In all this, US corporations have relied on unfair advantages, whilst overcharging people all over the non-US in a massive way is just beyond belief.
Even now, example, 'Ex Machina' is in the US $17, in the UK $20 (both Amazon), which is already a 20% offset, a title which cannot be bought in Australia. The US has segmented commerce to maximise profits, whilst not giving fair options to consumers. The fact that they still enforce multiple region codes to limit fair consumer rights is also not addressed. This is in part what drives piracy. If Mr Burke is so about educating, how about Mr Burke educating the other side of the equation? With video games where price difference can go up to 100% in difference between the US and Australia, a consumer grievance that Federal Attorney-General George Brandis never bothered to properly address. When we consider the issue of price fixing we see "Price fixing occurs when competitors agree on pricing rather than competing against each other. In relation to price fixing, the Competition and Consumer Act refers to the 'fixing, controlling or maintaining' of prices", in this we see a loaded gun of different proportions. You see, Agreements between related companies are also exempt from price fixing, yet, when this difference is set at 100%, whilst the firms place technological restrictions (region codes) on products, as well as denying fair competition, largely pushed by American corporations, where is the fairness in any trade agreement?
If a trade agreement is about removing trade barrier, in that regard, the region codes should be regarded as detrimental to trade, but the TPP is not about equality, it is about giving the power to big business and limiting the rights of consumers, which is why partially because of created limitations movies and videogames are not equally and honestly made available. So as we look at what some can buy more expensive and others cannot buy at all, Mr Burke should in part refrain from stating that 'one leg is education' the other is regarding 'products being available at the same time as other countries', it would make him instantly paraplegic. Unfairness is what drives infringement. This was shown in the 80's in Europe in a very direct way as games, movies and music were so unbalanced that a $450 ferry ride to London (from Rotterdam) could pay itself back during one VHS shopping spree (not to mention the price difference in games).
That same principle applies here, so if this is truly about stopping infringement than the first step would have been consumer equality. Yet this is about the US maximising its profits, counteracting whatever 'free' trade is supposed to do, so copyright infringement is not going away any day soon, it will soon create new situations, all because those involved seem to be about abolishing what constitutes a fair user, which is why the TPP should never come into effect.
You keep what you kill
The question is, who gets killed in the end, because as more true illumination is given, the bigger the question mark we see on what propels infringement. If there is one real upside to all this, it will be evolution, it will not take long for someone to change the premise of the game and design a new peer to peer cloud solution that resets the legal playing field.
Strife has always been the number one innovator in both war and technology, that part has not and will not change.

03 November 2016
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) today announced a new US$ 15 million contribution to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) for its education programme in Gaza.
The UAE contribution will allow UNRWA to enhance its education programme in the Gaza Strip by supporting the continued development of teaching methods and skills and by ensuring a safe learning environment for Palestine refugee children.
This contribution will also include the provision of educational materials, stationery and school bags, alleviating the financial burden that students and their families face at the beginning of every school year.
Announcing the new contribution, the UAE State Minister for International Cooperation Affairs, H.E. Reem al-Hashemi, said, "The United Arab Emirates is committed to providing support and assistance for Palestine refugees. Furthermore, our Emirates and its people believe in the importance of education in building a better future for youth, and we will continue to work with our partners at UNRWA to provide the required support to protect and advocate for the rights of children and youth to education. UNRWA is an important partner in achieving the goals that we strive for, and we look forward to enhancing our mutual efforts to support urgent humanitarian issues."
From his side, UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl expressed his gratitude for the major role played by the United Arab Emirates in supporting UNRWA and the Palestine refugees. "The great support that the United Arab Emirates has provided in recent years for UNRWA's operations mainly in Syria and Gaza, had a direct impact on the lives of Palestine refugees. The United Arab Emirates has been one of the Agency's major supporters for education, which is the largest UNRWA programme and one that preserves the identity and the dignity of Palestine refugees," said Mr. Krähenbühl.
In Gaza, UNRWA runs more than 267 schools, providing educational services to more than 263,000 Palestine refugee children through nearly 8,700 teachers, most of whom are refugees themselves. Over the past 65 years, UNRWA has run one of the largest and most successful school systems in the Middle East, despite the deterioration of the situation in the Gaza Strip, whichentered its tenth year of blockade, as well as the delay in the reconstruction process following the 2014 conflict.
UNRWA is confronted with an increased demand for services resulting from a growth in the number of registered Palestine refugees, the extent of their vulnerability and their deepening poverty. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions and financial support has been outpaced by the growth in needs. As a result, the UNRWA Programme Budget, which supports the delivery of core essential services, operates with a large shortfall. UNRWA encourages all Member States to work collectively to exert all possible efforts to fully fund the Agency's Programme Budget. UNRWA emergency programmes and key projects, also operating with large shortfalls, are funded through separate funding portals.
UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and mandated to provide assistance and protection to some 5 million registered Palestine refugees. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and the Gaza Strip achieve their full human development potential, pending a just and lasting solution to their plight. UNRWA services encompass education, health care, relief and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, protection and microfinance.

Seattle Soccer Show talks with Schmid, Hanauer, Henderson & Schmetzer
The latest Seattle Soccer Show episode covers Sounders FC's signing of Sigi Schmid and what comes next. General Manager Adrian Hanauer is prompted about players, but only reveals that the club have submitted their Discovery List to MLS (ten names) and that the list is a mix of USL Sounders, other USL players and internationals. The club are now free to begin negotiations with the players on the list.
Saying the right thing: Schmid talks a bit about the history of the Sounders and puts out the welcome mat for those involved in Sounders history, on and off the pitch, to follow the new club.
