On December 15, the Refugee Exclusion Act (Bill C-31) will be fully
implemented.
* Mandatory detention: Many refugees deemed "irregular arrivals" or
"smuggled", including children over the age of 16, will face mandatory
detention upon arrival. Migrants will become one of the largest growing
prison populations with Harper's prison expansion plan.
* Denial of access to justice: Many refugees will be barred from accessing
the Refugee Appeal Division and all refugees face even more restricted
access to justice including a bar on certain legal avenues. All refugees
will face onerously short time lines to file their claims.
* Denial of permanent residency: Even if actually accepted as refugees
under this stringent refugee system, many refugees will still be denied
access to permanent residency for a minimum of five years. While pathways
to permanent residency for refugees, family members, and skilled workers
are shrinking, the number of temporary migrant workers is increasing.
* Discriminatory two-tier system: Minister of Censorship and Deportation
Jason Kenney can arbitrarily and unilaterally deem certain countries as
“designated country of origin” i.e so-called safe countries that Canada
will quickly deport refugees to. These refugees will also be denied basic
and including emergency healthcare while in Canada.
Migration is a Human Right
The Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, JMEC says the greatest challenge facing the implementation of the peace agreement is inclusivity.
Speaking at the opening of a JMEC plenary meeting in Juba on 8 February 17, Festus Mogae said factions within the SPLM in opposition and inadequate representation of opposing voices in the peace process had undermined progress in the establishment of key institutions and mechanisms provided for in the peace agreement.
The JMEC chairperson also condemned continued fighting and reports of revenge killings, sexual violence and human rights abuses in parts of the country. Mogae said recent fighting around Malakal and in Renk of Upper Nile constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement and said ceasefire monitors have opened investigations into the attacks.
Mogae also urged the swift deployment of the 4-thousand strong Regional Protection Force as approved by the UN Security Council to bolster security in Juba and its surrounding areas.

The 3-day annual holiday camp is implemented under the Youth Empowerment and Mentorship Programme, a programme established by Imbuto Foundation. Every year, the holiday camp gathers beneficiaries of Imbuto Foundation’s ‘Edified Generation’ scholarship programme.
This year, 458 students gathered at the Groupe Scolaire Officiel de Butare to attend the holiday camp. These students make up part of those that were enrolled in the programme last year, and those that are in their last year of secondary education.
During this year’s holiday camp, students will actively engage with speakers and facilitators on a number of topics, including developing a culture of discipline, Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health & Rights (ASRH&R), human trafficking, Gender Based Violence, drugs and alcohol abuse, and financial acumen.
The holiday camp aims at empowering the scholarship recipients, by imparting life skills and positive values and attitudes, to make them grow into well-rounded citizens, able to contribute to the development of this nation. It also aims at equipping them with the needed package, to become active agents of change among their peers.

Um novo conceito de solução ambiental para o controle de erosões e de contenção de áreas degradadas foi implementado no município na terça-feira (21/5), com a execução do Projeto Trama Verde em uma área de talude, de aproximadamente dois mil metros quadrados, no Morro dos Cabritos, na Ressaca, onde, em 2020, ocorreram deslizamentos de terra e soterramentos de casas.
A área, considerada de risco, recebeu diversas intervenções cujo objetivo é proteger o solo e aumentar a vegetação. No local, técnicos da Defesa Civil e de outras secretarias trabalharam, por cerca de duas semanas, para formatar e concretizar o projeto, que servirá de modelo para outras localidades. Primeiro, foram feitas a roçada e a limpeza de todo o terreno pela equipe da Secretaria de Obras e Manutenção Urbana.
Em seguida, foram instaladas as chamadas “paliçadas” em pontos do talude onde há marcas de erosão. As paliçadas, cuja função é barrar detritos e reduzir os desgastes do solo, foram feitas com madeira provenientes de podas de árvores, isto é, a partir de material biodegradável disponibilizado pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade.
E, por fim, foi feita a revegetação da área por meio do plantio de mudas de diversas espécies, que vão desde árvores frutíferas a até medicinais. O plantio de 80 mudas ocorreu na terça-feira (21/5) e, no decorrer da semana, serão plantadas mais 120. Sementes também estão sendo depositadas no solo com o objetivo de fortalecê-lo.
As mudas e sementes adquiridas pelo projeto foram doadas pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade, pelo Centro Municipal de Agricultura Urbana e Familiar - CMAUF e por entidades que prezam pela utilização de técnicas voltadas à bioengenharia, como a empresa Deflor que destinou ao projeto materiais, como biomanta, adubo, sementes e mudas de Capim Vertiver.
“A ideia é apresentar ao município um novo método de estruturação do solo e controle de erosões, que não seja apenas o de impermeabilização do solo (concretagem). Nossa intenção é aumentar a cobertura vegetal e a biodiversidade, e não reduzi-las. Além disso, estamos doando este espaço para moradores do entorno para que eles cuidem e plantem o que desejarem. A ideia é recuperar, retomar a vida e o uso desta área”, explicou a subsecretária de Proteção e Defesa Civil, Ângela Gomes, que participou da elaboração e execução do projeto.
Moradores do entorno também se prontificaram a ajudar na ação. Eles não só plantaram como também aprovaram a iniciativa. Um deles, a dona de casa Patrícia Aparecida da Cunha disse que ficou feliz em saber que o local seria revegetado. “Foi gratificante ver esta ação acontecendo hoje. Espero que meus netos e bisnetos vejam esse espaço florido e cheio de frutos”, celebrou.
Para o aposentado João Ribeiro, que mora na região há 40 anos, a expectativa é por dias melhores. “Vivemos um sofrimento muito grande em 2020, muitas casas aqui ficaram soterradas. Agora, estamos vendo esse mutirão. Estamos satisfeitos, podem contar conosco para ajudar a conservar”, disse o morador.
A subsecretária de Governo de Contagem, Sônia Regina Oliveira, também participou do plantio. De acordo com ela, nem sempre a solução passará pelo concreto e cimento. “Há alternativas sustentáveis e possíveis economicamente. Mas, de fato, o que realmente resolve é a inteligência e a ação humana. De nada adiantará implementarmos tudo isso, se a comunidade não abraçar e ajudar a preservar. É necessário o envolvimento de todos para que possamos fazer deste local um modelo, um exemplo para as oito regiões da cidade”, destacou.
Assim como Sônia, a secretária de Defesa Social, Viviane França, acredita na importância da participação dos moradores para o sucesso de qualquer iniciativa. “Defesa civil e prevenção se faz com as pessoas, envolvendo todo o território. Somente dessa forma conseguiremos avançar e evitar a ocorrência de novos desastres ambientais”, salientou a secretária, agradecendo o empenho de todos na implementação do Projeto Trama Verde.

These are carved ivory implements from an old Chinese sewing table made for export to Europe. It's probably very early 19th C.
I'm all ready to start cooking! Also, there's room for 2 more bottles in my winerack (3 if the vodka goes to the freezer) if anyone wants to buy me presents.
Set of carved wooden implements for the Chinese tea ceremony made with a lotus theme. Bought at the small jade market near the computer mall at Pateh in Taipei. I had originally thought that the whole set cost S$20; each item cost S$20 by itself.
There is a spoon in the shape of a lotus fruit; a pick shaped like a lotus root; as well as a scoop and a funnel that look like lotus leaves. These are for the tourist trade - the Taiwanese wouldn't bother with such artsy stuff for daily use.
I think the lotus root is for cleaning the spout of the teapot; the lotus fruit for loosening tea leaves; the bowl of leaves is really a sieve for directing the tea into the teapot, and the single leaf for pouring the tea from container into the pot.

Old equipment seen at the coffee plantation. Just on the outskirts of San Sebastian, this coffee plantation has been in operation for a couple of hundred years. They harvest 25K coffee trees located on 10 acres. All the beans are picked by hand. When the roasting oven is opened at the end of a roasting cycle the aroma is incredible.
The town of San Sebastian del Oeste located in the Sierra mountains at an elevation of 4856 ft. The town was only connected by road in the 1950's prior to that it was either fly in or suffer a 5 day mule trip! As a consequence of it's isolation the town retains the character of a Spanish Colonial village,: one of the few remaining unchanged examples in Mexico.
San Sebastián was founded as a mining town in 1605 during the Spanish colonial period. Gold, silver and lead were mined around the area. More than 25 mines and a number of foundries had been established by 1785. The town was declared a city in 1812 and reached a peak population of some 20,000 people by 1900. The prosperity of the city declined after the revolution of 1910. Approximately 600 people reside there today.
Iraq Presents the National Report on the Implementation of Iraq National Action Plan for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security
Baghdad, 16 December 2018 – Iraq Cross Sector Task Force for the Implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security presented today in Baghdad Iraq’s first report on the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) on UNSCR 1325.
The event was organized under the patronage of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi. Participants included, Dr. Mahdi Al-Alaq, Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers and Chair of the Cross-Sector Task Force, Dr. Thikra Alloush, Chairperson of the National Committee on the Advancement of Iraqi Women, Ms. Jalal Amal representative of the High Council for Women Affairs, Kurdistan Regional Government, members of the Cross-Sector Task Force, MPs, members of provincial councils, diplomatic corps, international organizations, civil society, women activists and human rights defenders as well UN officials.
The Report was presented by Ms. Suzan Aref, Coordinator of Cross Sector Task Force, and Mr. Qasem Alzamili, Head of the Secretariat of Cross Sector Task Force.
Speaking on behalf of UNAMI, Ms. Nono Mmabatlharo Dihemo, Senior Gender Advisor, welcomed the presentation of Iraq’s first report on the implementation of the National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325. “The report highlights the gaps, challenges and provide the recommendations and necessary guidance for the development of the second plan,” said Ms. Dihemo.
“While we commend this development, as well as the Iraqi federal Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government for their concerted efforts and strong coordination towards the implementation of the National Action Plan on women, peace and security, Iraq’s ability to implement its 1325 National Action Plan will be dependent on allocation of a budget and implementation of related national frameworks including the Joint Communique to address Conflict Related Sexual Violence”.
The UN is still advocating for a national machinery or entity on women’s affairs with adequate budget, human resources to coordinate the implementation of all national frameworks advancing women’s rights. “As we have highlighted before, on our part, we will continue our advocacy for immediate progress, but also for long-term reforms to structural barriers that inhibit the full and meaningful representation and participation of women in political decision-making. A lot of work remains to be done on the participation and protection pillar. Adoption of the Anti-Domestic Law as well as laws or policies that to enhance the representation of women in the Cabinet, Judiciary and other spheres of governance,” said Ms. Dihemo.

The largest part of the 4U implements low-frequency radio operations.
This is, operation on frequencies below 500 KHz, the frequencies used almost exclusively by ship radios before and during World War II.
For this purpose the 4U includes two transmitters: a 200-watt main transmitter and a 50- watt emergency transmitter.
Both can transmit on the frequencies between 400 KHz and 500 KHz that are allocated for ship radio communications. Complementing them is a TRF receiver that can receive signals on all frequencies between 16 and 600 KHz.
High-frequency communications ("short wave") are supported by the 4U with a 200-watt transmitter and a superhet receiver that can operate on frequencies up to about 22MHz.
Of course, both the low-frequency and the high-frequency units implement only telegraph communication since voice communication was almost unheard of when the shipd were new.
The 4U also includes an Auto-Alarm (a device that can detect distress signals and raise an alert when the Radio Officer is off-duty) and even a classical crystal set, with its "cat's whisker." Internal motor-generators convert the ship's 110 volt DC power and battery power to the high voltage needed by the transmitters' tubes - there were no transistors in 1945!
This original radio equipment has been maintained and serviced, is fully operational and has passed the mandatory annual Federal Communications Commission and Coast Guard inspections. The current license still specifies the ship's original call-sign: KECW, the same call-sign assigned to the ship during its service in the WWII, Korea and Vietnam conflicts.
Associated with the 4U Radio Unit is the ship's radio direction finder (RDF), located in the Chart Room. The RDF assists navigation by enabling the ship's officers to determine the direction of remote radio stations.
•Cultura CTI se denomina la iniciativa que implementa actividades como reciclaje, robótica y astronomía directo en la sala de clases. Profesores trabajan codo a codo con investigadores y, los niños, experimentan con ciencia y tecnología en primera persona y que tuvo su lanzamiento en la ciudad de Coquimbo.
Imprimir toda clase de objetos en 3D; armar sus propios robots utilizando kits y experimentar con genética, todo esto realizado por niños, niñas y jóvenes en la sala de clases. Desde el próximo 27 de septiembre, un total de 24 colegios de la Región de Coquimbo se incorporarán a una iniciativa inédita para la enseñanza de la ciencia en el país. Como parte de un programa implementado de manera conjunta entre profesores y científicos, establecimientos educacionales públicos de las comunas de Andacollo y Coquimbo, podrán acceder a actividades como estas, en sus propias escuelas.
La iniciativa, denominada “Cultura CTI”, busca acercar estos contenidos a los estudiantes bajo metodologías participativas, donde la clave es conseguir que el alumno sea protagonista en su proceso de aprendizaje. Para ello, cada colegio tuvo que escoger proyectos del Catálogo de Iniciativas de Cultura CTI, conformado por 32 propuestas desarrolladas por expertos de universidades y destacados centros de investigación, las cuales fueron evaluadas previamente por un panel de expertos.
El lanzamiento de la iniciativa se realizó ayer en el Colegio José Agustín Alfaro, Tierras Blancas, de Coquimbo, reuniendo autoridades de la Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica, CONICYT; del Programa de divulgación de la Ciencia, Explora, la Seremía de Educación de la Región de Coquimbo, profesores y oferentes de Cultura CTI y la comunidad de docentes y alunmos del Colegio.
“Estamos iniciando un trabajo en conjunto con quienes tienen la mirada de la ciencia y la tecnología- académicos universitarios, integrantes de centros de investigación- que hacen una oferta participativa de contenido; y, del otro lado, los profesores, que trabajan, día a día, en enseñar y motivar a nuestros niños. El objetivo final de esto, en términos país, es mejorar la calidad de la educación. No se trata de que todos los estudiantes sean científicos, sino que ojalá desarrollemos el pensamiento crítico. Creemos que este programa tiene las virtudes de trabajar en pos de ese objetivo, integrando a toda la comunidad educativa”, destacó el director ejecutivo de CONICYT, Christian Nicolai.
En tanto, el seremi de educación de la Región de Coquimbo, Pedro Esparza, comentó “estamos llevando adelante un conjunto de trasformaciones de nuestro sistema educativo, que nos permiten instalar la educación como un derecho social. Hoy relevamos Cultura CTI y cómo estamos innovando, efectivamente, en la enseñanza de las ciencias. Lo más importante es entender que, la ciencia y la tecnología hay que vivenciarlas. No basta el pizarrón, no basta la clase formal, hay que generar una experiencia. La enseñanza de la ciencia no tiene que ser sólo para el niño aplicado y buen alumno, sino que para todos ”.
Implementada por CONICYT a través de su Programa Explora y el Consejo Nacional de Innovación para el Desarrollo (CNID), Cultura CTI se llevó a cabo durante todo 2016 como programa piloto en tres escuelas públicas en la comuna de San Joaquín y nueve de la Región de los Ríos, donde continúan ejecutándose con excelentes resultados. Ahora, las escuelas de Coquimbo y Andacollo se suman escogiendo 20 iniciativas que apuntan a temáticas como reciclaje, biología, astronomía, robótica y ciencias naturales.
Tras este proceso de selección -en el que participaron representantes de toda la comunidad educativa-, comenzará a ejecutarse un proceso de codiseño, donde maestros y científicos tendrán la misión de mejorar la propuesta, ajustándola a la realidad de cada grupo escolar. Esta importante etapa se iniciará el próximo miércoles 27 de septiembre, en una reunión colectiva, donde asistirán los integrantes de las 24 escuelas y los artífices de los proyectos CTI escogidos.
“Para mí, que soy profesora de la Región de Coquimbo, es muy importante y enriquecedor participar de este proceso, porque nos da la posibilidad de insertarnos en la Cultura CTI. Queremos que en mi escuela, no sólo los profesores de ciencias naturales, se empapen del método científico y puedan innovar en sus prácticas pedagógicas. De verdad ésta es una experiencia fantástica, sobre todo, porque permite a los alumnos de nuestro colegio- que aunque es de alta vulnerabilidad, ha desarrollado un fuerte trabajo en CyT- abrir su mente y enfrentarse a nuevas experiencias. Finalmente, todo esto, beneficia a nuestros niños”, comentó Isela Maureira, profesora de Ciencias Naturales del Colegio José Agustín Alfaro, Tierras Blancas, Coquimbo.
Esta primera reunión de Cultura CTI Coquimbo representa, además, una de las primeras acciones que se inscriben del proyecto de Nueva Educación Pública, que comienza a ser implementado por el Ministerio de Educación en 14 comunas y 237 establecimientos educacionales del país, alcanzado en total a más de 57 mil estudiantes del país. Se busca crear un nuevo sistema de educación pública, que mejore la calidad de la enseñanza y potencie, entre otros aspectos, trabajos en red como los que propone Cultura CTI.
