"Ceilalţi îngeri îşi vedeau de-ale lor
fiecare păzea pe cineva
Numai îngerul meu de pază
nu ÅŸtiu pe unde umbla."

The coastal zone is a dynamic area of natural change and of increasing human use. They occupy less than 15% of the earth's land surface; yet accommodate more than 50% of the world population (it is estimated that 3.1 billion people live within 200 kilometres from the sea). With three-quarters of the world population expected to reside in the coastal zone by 2025, human activities originating from this small land area will impose an inordinate amount of pressures on the global system. Coastal zones contain rich resources to produce goods and services and are home to most commercial and industrial activities. In the European Union, almost half of the population now lives within 50 kilometres of the sea and coastal zone resources produce much of the Union’s economic wealth. The fishing, shipping and tourism industries all compete for vital space along Europe’s estimated 89 000 kilometres of coastline, and coastal zones contain some of Europe’s most fragile and valuable natural habitats. Shore protection consists up to the 50's of interposing a static structure between the sea and the land to prevent erosion and or flooding, and it has a long history. From that period new technical or friendly policies have been developed to preserve the environment when possible. Is already important where there are extensive low-lying areas that require protection. For instance: South Pacific Islands, Venice, New Orleans, Nagara river in Japan, Holland, Caspian Sea,etc.
Protection against the sea level rise in the 21st century will be especially important, as sea level rise is currently accelerating. This will be a challenge to coastal management, since seawalls and breakwaters are generally expensive to construct, and the costs to build protection in the face of sea-level rise would be enormous.
Changes on sea level have a direct adaptative response from beaches and coastal systems, as we can see in the succession of a lowering sea level. When the sea level rises, coastal sediments are in part pushed up by wave and tide energy, so sea-level rise processes have a component of sediment transport landwards. This results in a dynamic model of rise effects with a continuous sediment displacement that is not compatible with static models where coastline change is only based on topographic data.

Customs and Border Protection's Air and Marine Operations deploy a new asset to protect the United States. Marine Interdiction Agents use the Coastal Interceptor Vessel in coastal waters to combat maritime smuggling and defend the waterways along our nation’s border from acts of terrorism. The 41-Foot Interceptor Class Coastal Interceptor Vessel provides Marine Interdiction Agents with the protection, mobility, and reliability to intercept and apprehend maritime smugglers. The Coastal Interceptor Vessel will be deployed to marine units nationwide, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, throughout southeast Florida, and in San Diego, California.

A coordinated search for weapons and restricted items was conducted at the Protection of Civilians (POC) site of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), located in the Tomping area of Juba. Yields of the search -- which was conducted by military and police components of UNMISS, as well as Community Watch Group members -- included four machetes, two knives, one hammer, two police batons, one pick-axe and sixty iron bars. Approximately 2,500 people remain in the Tomping site, as most residents have been relocated to the POC 3 site at UN House in recent months. Food distribution will be suspended at the end of December and the site is slated to be closed at some point following that.

ATLANTA – U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Agriculture Specialists and Officers working at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) seized just under three pounds of cocaine hidden in decorative figurines found in a traveler bags who arrived on a flight from Toncontin, Honduras.
While conducting roving operations on February 19, CBP Agriculture Specialist at ATL airport referred a 24-year-old woman for a further inspection. During an examination of the traveler’s baggage, a specialist identified three metal decorative figurines requiring further examination. A specialist using Non-Intrusive Inspection equipment was able to take an X-ray image of the figurines that revealed anomalies. A CBP officer opened up the figurines exposing a white-powdery substance inside. The substance field-tested positive for the properties of cocaine.

To earn their badges, DSS special agents undergo some of the most rigorous training in federal law enforcement. In addition to a full slate of physical fitness and law enforcement training, DSS cadets must excel in dignitary protection, motorcade operations and numerous other competencies necessary to protect American diplomats and diplomacy around the globe.
A mother breastfeeding her child right after giving birth. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection.
The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

In line with the ITU's "Child Online Protection" agenda and WSIS AC 5, substantial effort has been made to enhance cyber safety, in particular for youth and children in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as well as the South East Asia.
There are successful initiatives at national and regional levels, such as "The Internet Safety Program for Children" by MICT in Egypt, "GCAP" by e-WWG in several countries such as Pakistan, "Kids Online Security" by Oman National CERT, "Cyber Safe" by CyberSecurity Malaysia, "Internet Paak" by ITDMD in Iran, etc. However, most of these activities have not been introduced as they are deserved at global level.
One of the most important challenges in these parts of the world is the isolated activities. In comparison with Europe and North America, the experts in these countries are apart, have minimal information of each other’s activities and little interaction, collaboration and coordination among themselves.

Astronauts from five space agencies around the world take part in ESA’s CAVES training course– Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.
The three-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.
As they explore caves they encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They test new technology and conduct science – just as if they were living on the International Space Station.
The six astronauts have to rely on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals – the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.
The six cavenauts of this edition of CAVES are ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Jeanette Epps, Roscosmos’ cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk and Japan’s space agency Takuya Onishi.
