Amazingly clean and usable. I am pretty impressed that old skool MSM like CNN actually hired and implemented something like this. The HD video content is great looking... even if I have to watch a commercial first. Can't we get creative like YouTube and put dynamic ads you can remove after watching them? I duno... maybe this model is fine. Especially if someone makes BETTER commercials we'd like to watch. Possible?

What you see before you is the latest London location for Burger & Lobster (*fanfair* the global phenomenon!) I think this is number 9 though I may be wrong. These are the (Russian?) guys behind the Goodman steakhouses, and so you could say that they know a little something about meat, at the least! As for the aesthetic of the placeâ¦very American, I dunno if âCrabshackâ would be the right word, but the rustic wood, oldschool filament lamps and lobster cages on the walls come pretty close.
Itâs a strange one, this place, the menu basically has three mains - a whole lobster, a burger and what I guess is simply a lobster roll (cold lobster, warm meat - strong combination). No menu for food at all - you just pick one of the three. As your waiter/waitress may tell you - we âonly do three things, but we do them wellâ. Every meal comes with a side salad (tastes legit due to cheese and other unhealthy things) and a reasonable portion of fries (which are, dare I say, a dead ringer for those youâd get at McDonalds). Lobsters are sourced fresh from Nova Scotia and Maine (I think?), depending on season. As far as lobsters go, I have eaten lobsters all over the US and these areâ¦.pretty close to how I remember (ask for it steamed instead of grilled for full fishy lobster flavoursâ¦)
As this is a relatively new location, theyâre not quite as rammed as I hear the other ones can get (yet!). 3 hour queues? Apparently people will put up with such things. As for queuing up for 3 hours for a restaurant? I love food but you wonât see me doing that. Ever. Not ever. Spend more time waiting than eating? REALLY?! Who does that? OK, Iâll stop. Onto their pricing: £20 is a bit steep for a burger but for a lobster it feels like a bargain. Though the âno reservationâ system seems pretentious, the actual dining experience, thankfully, does not feel quite the same way. From what I saw, staff are super chill, and you eat off of trays instead of plates (which is either pretentious or unpretentious, I dunno). Idea: you could theoretically eat here âeconomicallyâ by getting a lobster to split between the two of you (provided you werenât hugely hungry). And buy more drinks and desserts. Said desserts and drinks are a...reasonable selection, reasonably priced - I suppose about average for London. They do quite a few cocktails, I think 17 last time I checked.
Part of the fun is, obviously, eating the lobster with the cracking tools they provide (your patience is rewarded by access to the delicious parts of the flesh hidden in the deep recesses of the exoskeleton). Eating lobster is actually not as hard, nor messy, as people think it is. You simply crack the joints with the dangerous implements they provide you (in this instance, the âWestmark Crackyâ, lol). This is a legit place to go with friends and loved ones - a lot of fun. It is, however, not a good place to take new business acquaintances or potential romantic connections. Eating with a bib whilst pieces of crustacean fly everywhere probably isnât a good look (though I could be wrong!). Before anyone asks, no, you donât get to choose which lobster youâre going to eat from the tanks (which I am grateful for - I donât think I am quite ready to confront the reality of choosing exactly what has to die to feed me. Goddamn...)
All in all, good food, nice location - none of this speedy table turnover and frenetic rushing I read about in some other reviews. So yeah, a somewhat minimalist approach to restaurateuring which delivers upon its promise of burger and/or lobster. If they keep their lobster pricing the same, I will most certainly be back. Well done to you, (possibly Russian) people of Burger and Lobster!

In 2012-2014 the Iraqi Cross Sector Task Force (CSTF) developed the Iraqi National Action Plan (NAP) for implementation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325. The NAP 1325 is a crucial tool for improving the status of women’s rights in Iraq. Composed of ministries, institutions and civil society, the CSTF has been the driving mechanism for implementing, monitoring, and reporting of this NAP.
At today’s conference, the Government of Iraq and CSTF took the opportunity to mark the International Women’s Day, 8th of March, by sharing the preliminary outcomes, lessons learned and conclusions summarized during the on-going process of developing of the draft national report on the implementation of the first NAP 1325, which will be presented to the United Nations Security Council later during 2018.
At the opening session of the conference, participants were greeted by the Prime Minister of Iraq, Dr. Hayder Al Abadi, Secretary General of the Council of Ministers and Co-Chair of the CSTF 1325, Dr. Mahdi Al Alaq, Chairperson of the National Committee for the Advancement of Iraqi Women and Chair of the Coordination Committee of CSTF 1325, Dr. Thikra Alloush, Chair of the High Council of Women of the Kurdistan Region and Co-Chair of CSTF 1325, Ms. Pakshan Zangana and by the Director General of the Iraqi Women Empowerment Department of the Council of Ministers, Dr. Ibtisam Aziz.
Representatives of the international community expressed their commitment to support women’s rights and their participation in the process of peace building in Iraq as well as in the upcoming phase of the development of the second NAP. On behalf of the International community the conference was addressed by the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq, Mr. Jan Kubiš, British Ambassador to Iraq, Jon Wilks, Charge d’Affairs of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Marielle Geraedts, and by the Country Director of UN Women, Ms. Dina Zorba.

On Global Open Day on UNSCR 1325, calls for men to champion and support women’s participation in politics and in decision-making
Basra, 01 November 2017 – The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), jointly with UNWOMEN and in coordination with the Implementation and Follow Up National Reconciliation Committee (IFNRC) of the Office of Iraq’s Prime Minister, held a consultative forum with women leaders and members of the Basra, Muthanna, Thi Qar and Missan Provincial Councils in Basra on 01 November 2017 with the focus on strengthening women’s political participation. This is the fourth such meeting within the context of observing the Global Open Day and the 17th Anniversary of UN Security Council resolution 1325.
As in the previous consultative meetings that were held in Karbala, Baghdad and Erbil in October, the participants in Basra echoed the similar concerns by women leaders across the country. They noted the retrogression of women’s participation in Iraq’s politics. They urged UNAMI and UNWOMEN to engage male champions to support women’s participation and to also press the heads of political blocs and political leaders to act in support of women issues.
In her intervention, Ms. Yusra Naji, member of Missan Provincial Council, decried male political leaders for marginalizing women. “The Iraqi society is male dominated, women are not invited to negotiations, they have no political rights, they are not represented in the Presidency, the Council of Representatives presidency, there are only two women Ministers, yet there is no legislation preventing women from occupying these high level positions,” Ms. Naji said.
Ms. Zahra al-Bachari Member of Basra Provincial Council, noted that “men can help lead the charge with women in enacting legislation that promotes women’s rights, repealing laws and policies that discriminate against women and limit opportunities. She further added: “Women should be promoted to leadership positions as we are observing the upcoming elections of both Provincial and Council of representatives, elections we aim to have more women represented in decision-making positions.”
Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Iraq Ján Kubiš, in remarks delivered by UNAMI Director of Political Affairs, Manoj Mathew, reiterated that Gender balance in Iraqi politics can only be achieved if political leaders could work side by side with women to share responsibility of breaking cultural norms and practices as well as institutional, structural and legal barriers that hinder women’s equal and meaningful political participation.
“We need male champions, proactive work by male champions, in partnership with women is necessary to establish an environment that empowers women’s political participation at all levels of governance and decision-making.”
“For the historic settlement and reconciliation to succeed it must be inclusive. This is critically important for the unity and stability of the country and peaceful coexistence amongst all citizens, components and minorities. Women – and youth - must be critical agents of such positive change, in building a new post-Daesh Iraq, in shaping the future of the country for the generations to come,” the SRSG’s statement said.
Mr. Kubiš acknowledged the efforts of the Cross-Sector Task Force on the implementation of the Iraq National Action Plan on 1325, while stressing that “it is time to strengthen the implementation of the participation pillar of the Iraqi National Action Plan on the Security Council Resolution 1325 which reaffirms the important role of women in the prevention and resolution of conflicts.”
UNAMI Gender Advisor, Ms. Mmabatlharo Dihemo, emphasized that political leaders can support the advancement of women in decision-making bodies by advocating for temporary special measures, promoting women to leadership roles and ensuring woman have equal career development opportunities.
UN WOMEN Representative in Iraq, Ms. Dina Zorba, commended the government, civil society, and national and international partners for continued commitment to UNSCR 1325. Ms. Zorba urged the government to work to ensure gender issues are incorporated in all democratization and nation-building agendas, and called on the UN, the government, and the International Community to continue to advocate for and protect the rights of women and girls.Ms. Zorba emphasized UN commitment to refocusing its work around women’s political participation at all levels.
In the context of marking the 17th Anniversary of UN SCR 1325 and the Global Open Day, UNAMI and UN WOMEN also organized in Karbala capacity-building training on Basic Mediation and Negotiation skills for women leaders, Provincial Council members and civil society representative from Karbala, Wassit, Najaf and Diwaniya, (9-12 October). A similar training was organised for women leaders and activists, members of Provincial Councils, district and sub-district councils from Basra, Missan, Thi Qar and Muthana (29 October-1 November). Both training programmes were jointly organised and funded by UNAMI and UN WOMEN under the UN Department of Political Affairs (DPA) and UNWOMEN gender and mediation strategy.

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.

Persistent Gender Inequality in Iraq Calls for Coordinated Efforts in Developing 2nd National Action Plan on Implementing Resolution 1325
Baghdad, Iraq, 3 October 2018 – Gender inequality continues to prevail in Iraq with worrisome signals that it is deepening, requiring intensified efforts and coordination in developing a new action plan on implementing UN Security Council resolution 1325, UN Representative to Iraq Ján Kubiš said today at the high-level consultation meeting on the development of the 2nd National Action Plan. Although he was encouraged to see progress in the protection pillar and dedicated efforts to strengthen the participation pillar in the National Action Plan, the legacy of the conflict with the terrorist Da’esh continues to hamper steps forward and there are other worrying signs of women being targeted.
Mr. Kubiš condemned the recent attacks against women, including the assassination of two women and the sudden death of two others in the past month, all of them active in political and social spheres. Other civil society activists including women are targeted by social media and political threat campaign, among others for their contacts with foreign embassies. This is unacceptable.
“Only once politically and socially active women are protected and safe, Iraq can claim to be making real progress towards women’s equality and empowerment,” he said.
The development of a new NAP with all the diversity and complexity of issues will require continuous coordination and collaboration across sectors, in particular involving civil society, and drawing from the lessons learned from the previous plan, the Special Representative said.
“By making your deliberations open to the society, by publicly broadcasting them you could mobilise even broader support for your objectives,” Mr. Kubiš said.
The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq noted with disappointment that political forces that negotiate the formation of the government do so, again without the participation of women. “We all need to ask: “when the political leaders intend to deliver on their pledges to empower women and advance their rights as a part of the democratic entitlement of all Iraqis thus strengthening equal representation and inclusiveness? The time is now. Otherwise, all the exclamations about commitment to equality of women and values of democracy continue to sound hollow.”
Mr. Kubiš outlined UN efforts in support of women empowerment, noting that UNAMI supports women parliamentarians in their quest to establish a cross-political women’s parliamentary caucus. UNAMI will continue to impress on Political Parties who are key to advancing the participation of women in all processes to include women in their leadership structures, urging men advocates to assume a more prominent role, and parliamentarians to consider gender responsive budget in the next budget law to enhance the implementation of the NAP. The UN will also continue to advocate for the establishment of a dedicated institution in the next government structure with budget and authority to coordinate the implementation of the NAP and national frameworks and policies on WPS.
The UN in Iraq will also mobilise support of the broader international community, including through the International Gender Group from among embassies here in Baghdad, Mr. Kubiš concluded.

Their menu was extensive to say the least, and was a double sided almost A3 sized paper which looked like a classified ad page from newspaper. Featured were the picture of the items and the Chinese description. I'm not sure I remember whether there was English as well against each item. There probably was. You order by ticking the item you want with a ball point pen provided. Thank goodness I had Yang, my guide with me, they spoke zero English! (Guilin, China, May 2017)
Agahi to implement the Nokia-UNESCO Mobile Learning initiative to deliver quality education to teachers
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO collaborate to launch Mobile Learning for Teacher’s in Pakistan using Nokia Education Delivery App to facilitate teacher training via mobile phones
Nokia Pakistan and UNESCO Islamabad launched the project “Mobile Learning Project for Teacher’s Professional Development” today as formal collaboration in the presence of senior government officials, Nokia representatives and UNESCO representatives. As part of this program, UNESCO and Nokia are joining hands, where Nokia is providing its mobile phones and its application “Nokia Education Delivery (NED) for UNESCO’s project on ‘use of ICT for professional development of public school teachers’ in remote areas.
Since 2011 NED has turned into an open source solution to improve livelihoods, and in order to support such mobile learning innovations to be filled with life in Pakistan, The project will be implemented by AGAHI, a UNESCO partner and a non-profit foundation working in the area of communication and media policy design.
Nokia developed NED to allow using a mobile phone to access and download videos and other educational materials from a constantly updated education library. Operating in hundreds of schools and having reached millions of students in the Philippines, Tanzania, Chile and Colombia, Nokia Education Delivery has been shown to improve study results and increase retention among students.
This collaboration is part of the agreement signed last year between UNESCO and Nokia at international level to promote the use of mobile technologies to further the objectives of “Education for All”. As part of this agreement Nokia is developing applications and new Mobile technologies offering access to information and enrich learning environments at global level.
In Pakistan, through the project “Mobile Learning for Teachers” Nokia’s Education Delivery application will help UNESCO to enable the delivery of high- quality educational materials to teachers who lack training and resources though mobile phones giving an opportunity to teachers to train themselves on the same level as professionally competent teachers.
Speaking about the project, UNESCO Director, Kozue Kai Nagata said, “In 21st century Public- private partnerships are enjoying growing attention and support as a new and sustainable modality for development. We are confident to collaborate with Nokia to provide us with the best platform to train public school teachers. Nokia Education Delivery is fit to match our need of delivering quality training to a large number of public school teachers across Pakistan through the project named “Mobile Learning for Teachers”
Amir Jahangir, President AGAHI and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, shared his views on the launch that “Pakistan is a knowledge starved country, where universal education has its own challenges. To meet the target of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) on education, Pakistan needs to address its education challenges through innovation and technology which can reach to a larger population with cost effective solutions”.
Speaking about the launch of NED program, Ulrike Vott Nokia Sustainability Manager for Middle East said, “Nokia Education Delivery facilitates education in a fun and interactive way. In addition to the NED software, Nokia offers program implementation support for the benefit of Pakistan’s education landscape.” The Nokia Education Delivery software system has two modules. The first module is installed on a Nokia mobile phone and contains a browse able catalog of educational videos. The second module is installed on the computer of the education administrator. It manages the organization’s mobile video library, so that videos can be added, deleted and updated. It also provides information on the usage of different videos.”
This unique pilot project for Pakistan has been initiated by UNESCO and AGAHI aims at using Mobile phones as medium for training teachers, where the teachers in remote areas will be equipped with devices, SIMs, a software solution and high quality educational content. The course for training and capacity building will be developed into video files and will be transmitted step by step according to curriculum on the phones provided to teachers. Over the course of the training period, teachers will be tested via SMS on regular basis and as an incentive, those who will score highest in tests will receive free mobile top ups. At the end of the course, test scores of all teachers will be aggregated and the passing teachers will be awarded certificate in the final workshop.
AGAHI is UNESCO implementing partner in Pakistan. A not for profit, AGAHI specializes in creating communication, information and media policy design tools, that enables the stakeholders to engage in information collaboration on knowledge-based platforms. AGAHI works in building the capacity of knowledge workers in creating content based on best practices to disseminate information in building a more integrated knowledge ecosystem.
