On October 17th, 2016 Monareliefye.org has begun today distributing school bags to 3000 pupils in Yemen’s Amanat al-Asimah, Sana'a and Hodeidah governorates ahead of the new school year.
Our distribution today was carried out in some schools in Sana'a governorate.
Affected children are supported to return to school as schools are made functional, access and retention of children at school is improved and children are supported to access learning through alternative modalities.
To ensure that children don’t completely miss out on their education, Mona Relief trying to support students with scholastic materials.
Facts about education in Yemen
Millions of children out of school and scores of teachers unpaid - At least two million children, nearly 27 per cent of school-age children are out of school, according to UNICEF. More than 1,690 schools are currently unfit for use due to conflict-related damage, hosting of IDPs or occupation by armed groups. About 2.3 million children need support to access education, including 1.1 million in areas that are acutely affected by conflict. Months of unpaid salaries have aggravated matters. More than 166,000 teachers have had problems receiving their salaries since October 2016 - about 73 per cent of the total number of teachers in Yemen.
The films distributed under the Rollei Brand by MACO Products, Germany, include former film formula's of Agfa company. The Rollei INFRARED 400 would differs from the Retro 400S (which iis ndeed the formula of former Agfa Aviphot 400) version by increased sensitivity in the near-infrared band. The film is side-marked 'INFRARED" but the processing times are the same as the 400S version.
On July, 29, 2024, Lyon, France, I decided to test a roll of this INFRARED version in a photo session at Par de la Tête d'Or by a quite warm (36°C) and sunny day. The results are quite close to my person IR-photography sessions made past year with the 400S version.
I took the same camera I used past year for infrared photography with one of my two Minolta's X-700 (the one called « China » period 1993-1999)
The Agfa Aviphot 400 film was originally designed for aerial photography for its capacity to differentiate green tones and to give a good clarity reducing in part the atmospheric haze. The Agfa Aviphot sensivity curve starts to decrease at 670 nm to fall at zero around 820 nm. The band starting at 780 (up to 2500nm) is the beginning of the "near infra-red" band of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Minolta X-700 SLR camera was fitted with a normal lens Minolta MD 1:1.2 f=50mm. The lens was equipped with a 55mm screw-on IR filter with a cutoff at 720nm. Since the filter is so dark for a comfortable through-the-lens viewing, a FOCA "Universel" external view-finder (Made in France in the 50’s) was used for an easy framing. The X-700 has also a Multi-Function Back allowing diverse pricing modes. The date was manually printed before view 1 and the time of the end of film after the last frame.
The film was exposed for 40 ISO using my Minolta Autometer III external light meter equipped with a selective 10° finder. The X-700 light metering system was not used and the camera was operated in the manual mode using the exposure times of 1/60s or 1/125s for f/4 to f/11

After completion, the film was processed using Adox Adonal developer (equivalent to Agfa Rodinal) at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 10min30. The photograms were then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All frames of the film are presented in two different processing versions (normal or with the "clarity" parameter of LR reduced by -100% to mimic the traditional glow of former KODAK Infrared films)
About the camera and the lens :
Minolta X-700 SLR was manufactured in Japan and first released in 1981, and delocalized in China from 1993 to 1999. I bought them in early 2022 from eBay accompanied with their motor drive MD I and other accessories. The MD 1:1.2 f=50mm is part of my Minolta lens collection and was purchased as a vintage lens on line in the mid 2010's.

After three years of research and development on a distributed storage system, we are ready to unveil the result: Wuala (http://wua.la). Wuala is a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet. Unlike traditional online storage systems, Wuala is decentralized and can harness idle resources of participating computers to build a large, secure, and reliable online storage. This enables its users to trade parts of their local storage for online storage and it allows us to provide a better service for free. About a month ago, we launched the first closed alpha, which has been a big success. We've hit the press with some great reviews and now thousands of people are signing up on our website. In this technical talk, I will take a look behind the scenes by showing you how Wuala works and what challenges we had to overcome, including reliability, fairness, incentives, and routing.

Corporal Joseph Pokorny was shot and killed following a short pursuit near an exit ramp from I-279 in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, shortly after 0200 hours.
A violent struggle ensued after the driver of the vehicle crashed. During the struggle the suspect was able to gain control of Corporal Pokorny's service weapon. The suspect then shot him in the neck and chest. The round that struck him in the chest entered an area around his armpit not protected by his vest. The suspect then stole Corporal Pokorny's service weapon and fled the scene.
Several minutes later, a Carnegie police officer who happened to be driving by the scene, located Corporal Pokorny's body in a snowbank approximately 25-feet from his patrol car. A second handgun was found underneath Corporal Pokorny.
The suspect, who had been on parole for less than one month, was taken into custody later in the day and officially charged with Corporal Pokorny's murder two days later. On October 24, 2007, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Corporal Pokorny had served with the Pennsylvania State Police for 22.5 years, and was assigned to Troop B, Pittsburgh. He is survived by his son, daughter, and parents.
On May 3, 2007, a section of I-279 was dedicated as the Corporal Joseph Raymond Pokorny Jr. Memorial Highway.
The first day of classes when the elevators were out of service, CWSL staffers distributed pedometers to students and employees. It served to assist anyone looking to embrace a healthier lifestyle in the new year, as well as a fun way to guage just how many steps we take when moving around campus in any given day.
