PEGNet Conference 2019 - "Promoting social, economic and socio-political development through social protection."
September 9-10 | Bonn, Germany
Social protection is a key instrument for fostering social, economic and political development. It is well established that it is not only essential for the reduction of vulnerability, income poverty and income inequality but also for the promotion of human development as it facilitates access to education, health care, nutrition, housing and reduces gender disparities. In recent years, there has been a growing consensus that social protection is also an important requirement for fostering economic growth, social cohesion and political stability.

Santa Cruz Reads presents John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" discussion on the theme: nature. Thursday, February 28, 2012 at the Downtown Public Library Branch.
Apparently the mainline media did not report everything that happened during President Obama’s recent visit to Israel. The World Tribune revealed today that the President shared his vision for the future of the Middle East with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other high-ranking Israeli officials in meetings held behind closed doors.
Despite all of the ballyhoo surrounding his 48-hour visit, the meetings with Israeli authorities were described as “very tense.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu apparently asked his aides to listen to, but not dispute anything that Obama or his staff said during the visit. The vision that Obama unfolded for them was that he wants to help shape an alliance of Egypt, Iran and Turkey during his second term.
Sources familiar with the discussions said that the President downplayed the protests in Egypt as an obstacle to bringing his vision to fruition. Furthermore, he indicated that an Iranian-Egyptian-Turkish alliance would assist in avoiding a nuclear arms buildup by Iran. How that would work is very unclear at this point.
It is also being reported that during his short visit to Jordan, President Obama was warned by King Abdullah that the U.S. is making a huge mistake by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. The King complained that the State Department is ignoring him and, even more frightening, they are telling him “The only way you can have democracy is through the Muslim Brotherhood.”
If you have not yet been convinced that we need to pray fervently for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) and all of Israel, this information should drive us all to our knees. International politics is riddled with schemes and subterfuge. Every major country seems to have a “plan” for Israel.
The only plan that will prevail will be God’s plan. He says that “Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem through all generations . . . for the Lord dwells in Zion!” (Joel 3:21). Please continue praying for the peace of Jerusalem as a part of your daily worship. God will bless you when you do.

I took this using Live View on my D90 and couldn't get it to focus. Looking at it later, I found I really liked the out of focus look as these people enjoyed some wine.
