The Basra Compact, a flagship partnership to revive the economy in southern Iraq
Basra, 05 May 2015 – The authorities of Basra and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) today signed a flagship agreement, the Basra Compact, aiming at strengthening participatory and accountable governance and reviving the economic activity in the southern governorate, which is not just oil-rich but needs to invest in its human capacity and private sector development. Protecting the cultural and ecological heritage of the Mesopotamian Marshlands is also a priority.
Despite being the richest governorate and hosting the main port in Iraq, Umm Qasr—the only shipping hub in the country—Basra is one of the most affected by poverty and chronic unemployment with 16.1% of the population living below the poverty line of US$ 2.5 per day and facing staggering challenges in terms of access to services.
The memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Basra authorities outlines future cooperation in the areas of decentralization, financial management and budget execution, environment protection, private sector development including micro, small and medium enterprises, and supporting the governorate’s 5-year strategic planning.
“Working with local partners is a fundamental element of national ownership,” the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General and UNDP Resident Representative, Lise Grande, said. “This translates into UNDP’s support for the local network of the Global Compact promoting responsible business practices in the areas of gender, human rights, labour standards, environment, service delivery and anti-corruption,” she explained.
UNDP has nearly 40 years of experience in Iraq leading the UN’s development work, providing knowledge and practical expertise. In its long-term engagement with the government and the people of Iraq, UNDP focuses on inclusive participation, accountability, access to justice, women’s empowerment, security sector reform, decentralization and private sector development. In particular, UNDP supports the government’s 4-year development plans (2014-2017).

Los modelos CC-E con una eficiencia del 92.5 por ciento son ideales para sistemas de automatización, ordenadores y equipos de comunicaciones
TDK-Lambda ha ampliado su exitosa serie CC-E de convertidores DC-DC de elevada eficiencia y alta fiabilidad con la introducción de nuevas versiones de 15 y 30 W.
Cada gama CC-E de 15 y 30 W se compone de 32 modelos y está disponible en encapsulados de montaje en superficie (SMD) y ‘through-hole’ para responder a los requerimientos de sistemas de automatización en factorías, ordenadores y equipos de comunicaciones.
Un material de núcleo de ferrite con baja pérdida de TDK garantiza elevada eficiencia en la operación y tamaño extremadamente compacto con perfil ultra bajo. Por ejemplo, el convertidor CC30-4805SHF-E de 30 W sólo mide 37.9 x 31.6 x 6.5 mm, alcanza una eficiencia del 92.5 por ciento y posee una densidad eléctrica de 63.2 W por pulgada cúbica.
Al aceptar una entrada nominal de 24 o 48 V, estos convertidores DC-DC se presentan en las tensiones de salida más utilizadas de 3.3 a 15 Vdc. El rango de temperatura operativa se sitúa entre -40 y +85 °C con la posibilidad de elegir un aislamiento de entrada a salida de 500 a 1500 Vdc.
Las nuevas características de la gama CC-E incluyen operación paralela, funciones de arranque simultáneo y retardo de arranque, y on / off remoto. La protección estándar abarca condiciones de subida y caída de tensión y elevación de corriente.
La Serie CC-E de TDK-Lambda posee las aprobaciones de un amplio número de estándares de seguridad, destacando UL / CSA / EN60950-1, y el Marcado CE (Directiva LV).
Además de ofrecer un magnífico rendimiento técnico, los modelos CC-E también eliminan la necesidad de usar condensadores de tántalo y electrolíticos en el diseño, garantizando así una elevada duración que es soportada por una garantía de cinco años.
Lacock Abbey
A country house with monastic roots and an original medieval cloister.
Lacock Abbey was officially founded on 16 April 1232 by Ela, Countess of Salisbury, one of the most powerful women of the Middle Ages.
In the mid-1500s, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Abbey became a Tudor family home.
William Henry Fox Talbot inherited the house in 1800, when he was only five months old. The estate was in debt and was rented out until Fox Talbot moved in with his mother and stepfather in 1827. Fox Talbot then lived here, with his family, until he died in 1877.
During Fox Talbot’s time, the Abbey would have looked much as it looks today.
in August 1835 Fox Talbot made history by capturing the world's first surviving photographic negative in the South Gallery at Lacock Abbey – an invention that would change how we see the world.
The Abbey and estate was given to the National Trust in 1944.

Use vignetting in a photograph today. Either add it in post (easier) or do it in camera via lens or lighting (harder). #ds381 www.dailyshoot.com - Created by shooting through the hole of a compact disc. :)
