This presentation will be about the child refugees from the Greek Civil War of 1946-1949. Their story is not very well known, yet it is perhaps one of the saddest events in human history. This topic greatly interests me because it involves minorities that are persecuted in Greece.
This document summarizes the key findings of the 2016 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, which is based on a survey of over 50,000 people in 26 countries. Some of the main findings are that social media have become a major source of news, with half of respondents using it weekly and 12% saying it is their primary news source. Smartphone use for news is sharply up while computer use is down. Ad-blocking is a major challenge, used by 10-38% of respondents in different countries. Television remains important for older groups but is declining among younger people. Most people remain reluctant to pay for online news.
Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country located between China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. It has a population of over 5 million people and its economy relies heavily on agriculture. The country has experienced political and ethnic turmoil in recent years. The largest ethnic groups are the Kyrgyz and Uzbek people, but there have been conflicts between them. Kyrgyzstan declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and is transitioning to a parliamentary system of government.
The document summarizes updates from The HDF Group. It discusses that The HDF Group was established in 1988 and owns HDF4 and HDF5 formats and libraries. It provides services like helpdesk, support, consulting and training to users. The HDF Group aims to ensure long-term accessibility of HDF data through development and support of HDF technologies. Recent improvements include new HDF5 and HDF4 releases, tools updates, HDF-Java and SWMR file access work. Future work involves parallel I/O, indexing methods and EOS, OPeNDAP and NPP/NPOESS support.
Richard Holbrooke's World: Memories of a Newsweek Special Correspondent - A Q...GLOBAL HEAVYLIFT HOLDINGS
During the Balkans War of 1992-95 which primarily involved Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia following the break-up of Yugoslovia, I was, thanks to former Detroit Bureau Chief Frank Washington, Chief of Correspondents Ann McDaniel and Editor Maynard Parker, a special correspondent for Newsweek, Newsweek Japan and Newsweek International covering the industrial (automotive, aerospace), financial, medical and technological sectors along with investigative duties. The latter including the Oklahoma City bombing cover story element "Three Strange Friends" within which I interterviewed James Nichols on his farm in Decker, Michigan; "One Family's Nightmare", the murder of the Freeman family in Pennsylvania by their neo-Nazi sons; the GM board revolt analysis "Another Pink Slip?" that predicted to the day when former Chairman Bob Stempel would step down; a measured defense of Edsel Ford II in "A Young Ford at The Wheel" and "The Shame of the City", covering the death of Deletha Word after jumping off the Belle Isle bridge in Detroit to escape her attackers.
"Just as Safe at Any Speed" written with the Washington Bureau's Evan Thomas, helped to reverse the extremely negative reporting surrounding GM's C/K pickup truck controversy. Additionally, I contributed to an extensive analysis of the nation's blood supply "In Search of Safer Blood" (Geoffrey Cowley, Sharon Begley, et al,) and a 6 month investigation, in collaboration with Melinda Beck, leading to a cover story on the safety of America's airlines "How Safe is This Flight?"
I also had the privilege of being the only reporter to conduct an extensive interview with Rodney King at the height of the LA Riots of 1992 (my brother Doug and I drove out during curfew) while sitting on the hood of King's "magical" Hyundai Excel that managed to outrun, police claimed, a CHP 5.0L Mustang.

The document discusses a proposal to use mobile phones to support informal dispute resolution, or "jirgas", in Afghanistan. It provides context on the importance of rule of law in Afghanistan, current USAID efforts, and characteristics of the traditional Afghan jirga system. The proposal, called the "m-jirga", would allow disputants to record cases on their mobile phones which would then be reviewed by an elder panel via phone. The technology would be provided through partnerships and aim to increase access to justice while respecting local customs.
The document discusses various demographic concepts and population trends:
- It defines terms like crude birth rate, crude death rate, infant mortality rate, fertility rate, and life expectancy.
- Population pyramids are used to show the structure of a population in terms of age and sex, and can project population changes over time.
- Global population has grown exponentially in the last century, with the highest growth in Africa, South America, and Asia.
- Disparities exist between more and less economically developed countries in factors like income, health, and education as measured by indices like HDI and GNI.
Human trafficking is a serious problem in Cambodia. The country is a source, transit, and destination for human trafficking. Many people are trafficked internally and cross-border to countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia for forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Government and NGO actors have implemented prevention, protection, and prosecution efforts to address trafficking. However, more work is still needed to strengthen anti-trafficking efforts, address demand factors, and combat emerging issues related to migration. Continued efforts to combat human trafficking directly support goals to reduce poverty, improve education, and achieve gender equality in Cambodia.
The document discusses using red lipstick as a synergy between a music video and ancillary texts like advertisements and album packaging. Red lipstick is prominently featured in the video during close-ups and scenes. It is also incorporated into the advertisement, album cover art, photos, and inside the CD case to create cohesion across products. Audience feedback indicated that the target demographic successfully noticed the connection between the use of red lipstick in both the video and ancillary texts. The document determines the lipstick synergy was an effective way to promote the artist to their target demographic.
This document provides an overview of the histories of Sparta and Athens in ancient Greece. It summarizes that Sparta was a militaristic society that emphasized strength and sacrifice, with political power held by kings and councils. Athens developed democracy and philosophy under Solon's reforms and Kleisthenes' establishment of democratic institutions. This led Athens and Sparta to become rivals and fight the Peloponnesian War as Athens' power grew through its naval dominance.
This document analyzes deterrence strategies in cyberspace. It notes a shift in recent US policy from defense-focused to incorporating offensive cyber capabilities and deterrence by punishment. The 2015 DoD Cyber Strategy identifies key threats like Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. It acknowledges offensive cyber operations and enhancing attribution capabilities to reduce anonymity, improving deterrence credibility. The document examines deterrence concepts in cyberspace, difficulties with deterrence, and the need for a cross-domain response to deter high-level threats. It proposes a "4-Point Norms Plan" incorporating norms on critical infrastructure attacks, responding to threats, proportional responses, and justifying actions, to facilitate deterrence and governance.

This document describes the discovery of a novel clinical AMPA receptor positive modulator called N-[(2S)-5-(6-Fluoro-3-pyridinyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl]-2-propanesulfonamide (17i). A series of indane analogs were synthesized and tested for their ability to potentiate AMPA receptor activity. Compound 17i was found to be a potent, efficacious modulator with excellent pharmacokinetic properties across preclinical species. It was well tolerated and orally bioavailable in humans, making it a promising candidate for further clinical development.
The document provides an overview of recent developments across different divisions within Atkins in Sharjah. It discusses the opening of a new Aerospace office in Bangalore, India.

The document also notes some pictograms originated from text-based computer systems and serves as a reference for their interpretation.
Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is dedicated to regional and coastal oceanography. We review in this issue the impressive work
recently done towards regional to coastal modelling with nesting and open boundary procedures as well as imbrications of
models of increasing resolution and complexity. Moreover, regional and coastal systems have now reached an operational level
and are delivering real time forecast in various areas.
After an introduction by Obaton reminding us of the challenging European and French programs dealing with regional/coastal
oceanography, this issue displays six scientific articles. Chanut et al. are starting with a paper describing the Mercator Ocean
regional system embracing the French Atlantic coast with a 1/36° horizontal resolution. Marsaleix et a l. are then writing about
the North Western Mediterranean Sea system which is currently upgraded in the framework of the ECOOP program. Next paper
by Riflet et al. is dealing with operational ocean forecasting of the Portuguese waters using the Mercator Ocean North Atlantic
high resolution solution at its boundaries. Lecornu et al. are following with an article about the PREVIMER operational MARS
system in the Bay of Biscay. Marchesiello et al. are then describing the effort conducted at IRD in order to provide the
developing countries with tools for operational regional marine forecast. At last, Reffray et al. tell us how the MARS,
SYMPHONIE and NEMO/OPA systems intercompare over the Bay of Biscay during the year 2004.
We wish you a pleasant reading, and we will meet again in October 2008, with a newsletter dedicated to the international
GODAE project, which will hold its final meeting in Nice on November 12-15 2008 (http://www.godae.org/announcement-II.html).
Moreover, let us also remind you that our annual operational oceanography group meeting (Groupe Mission Mercator Coriolis,
GMMC) will take place on October 13 to 15 2008 in Toulouse (MétéoFrance site). We are looking forward to tell you about our
ongoing progress here at Mercator Ocean, and to hear about yours.

This document discusses the role of employees in strategic reputation building. It notes that employees are the conduit through which a company's reputation is built. Research shows a gap between what leadership sees as important for building trust and how employees view it, with employees rating treatment of employees as more important. The document recommends that companies view employees as brand ambassadors and use two-way communication like feedback and employee voice to build commitment. This will help companies be ranked higher by stakeholders.
