Berlin a accueilli ce vendredi l’initiative Compact with Africa. Une conférence destinée à soutenir l’investissement privé allemand sur le continent. Le Président Macky SALL a pris part aux travaux de cette conférence qui est une belle opportunité pour le Sénégal et le continent de créer des plateformes devant réunir les investisseurs privés allemands et africains autour des projets intégrateurs. Le Chef de l’Etat a mis l’accent sur l’allocation des DTS, la solidarité autour du vaccin, la facilitation de l’investissement en Afrique par des mécanismes appropriés de soutien, l’appui à la relance des economies africaine, la nécessité d’un New Deal avec l’Afrique qui exige un changement radical de mentalité dans la perception des relations avec l’Afrique.

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).

Rugen is a long, lanky cat, so when he squishes himself up into a little ball, he looks quite funny.
Depicted here is the standard appearance of a conventionally armed Nu-7 operative who is working within a cold weather environment. While the standard fitment and other similarly equipped loadouts constitute hot weather uniforms, Nu-7 must also be equipped with sufficient and additional cold and wet weather gear in order to successfully operate within such an environment. There are several very effective US military cold weather systems that involve layering certain types of winter clothing in order to remain comfortable in a cold or freezing environment without overheating, sweating, and becoming hypothermic. The SCP Foundation supplies their Armed Mobile Task Force units with a similar cold weather layering system that works in tandem with their standard uniform. This enables conventional elements to carry this cold weather system on their kit at all times so when in transit to a cold working area the element is able to quickly adapt to the climate without a delay in responding to the threat.
The main cold weather garment that the operative always carries with them is the Crye Precision HalfJak. This is specifically the insulated version that has enhanced cold weather capabilities compared to other variants. As the name suggests the garment fits over roughly half of the body to allow for the operative to wear it over their standard clothing and still access their kit on the plate carrier. It is secured to the carrier itself using four hooks that catch onto four paracord loops on the cummerbund. The plate carrier itself retains a lot of core body heat and the HalfJak further retains body heat due to its insulation. Temperature is regulated by having the sides of the body open to airflow and the HalfJak itself can be unzipped at the front. It has a built-in hood stored in the raised collar and can be deployed easily should the situation require it. It stores compactly in a elastic bag located at the rear of the plate carrier.
Another additional external bit of cold weather kit is the camouflage overwhites. Here the operative is wearing USMC Experimental Overwhites trousers in snow MARPAT. Its matching pack cover is also seen over his assault pack. This is a camouflage garment that provides a snow camouflage pattern over his standard combat pants in a snowy environment. The overwhites material provides an additional cold and wet weather layer over the standard combat pants. It is paired with Twin Needle puttees over the boots to further protect the users legs and feet from a cold and wet weather environment. In an extreme wet weather environment the operative can choose to wear a poncho instead.
Should the environment require it, AMTF units are also equipped with internal cold weather clothing that can be worn underneath the standard uniform. These are the simple but effective waffle grid wool base layers. The operative is wearing a prototype base layer set from Beyond Clothing. The grid pattern of the wool allows for quick moisture wicking and airflow while still retaining a large amount of body heat. It can be paired with a grid pattern beanie, in this case a Helikon-Tex Grid Fleece Beanie Cap. This beanie has a pocket that allows the user to store their in-ear protection so they can quickly access it when switching from helmet to beanie.
In a combat scenario it is important to retain dexterity even when operating within a cold weather environment. Many cold weather mittens or gloves provide excellent insulation at the cost of reduced dexterity. One way to retain some dexterity while also fighting the cold is to layer gloves. The operative here wears Mechanix Original Gloves over his PIG FDT Alpha Gloves. This provides some insulation while also retaining dexterity. The operative can further enhance insulation by wearing the waffle grid base layer over the gloves using the incorporated thumb loop.
This customized cold weather system provides a sufficient level of cold weather protection in a lightweight and compressible package. Once all aspects of this cold weather suite is put together, it can provide the wearer with some comfort even in below freezing conditions.
A heavy soil compactor is used to densify the final lift of fill on the building pad. With an operating weight of 78,000 lbs, this compactor can achieve higher densities than any other machine.
Built in 1879 at no. 12 Princess Street.
"Queenston is a compact rural community and unincorporated place 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of Niagara Falls in the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. It is bordered by Highway 405 to the south and the Niagara River to the east; its location at the eponymous Queenston Heights on the Niagara Escarpment led to the establishment of the Queenston Quarry in the area. Across the river and the Canada–US border is the village of Lewiston, New York. The Lewiston-Queenston Bridge links the two communities. This village is at the point where the Niagara River began eroding the Niagara Escarpment. During the ensuing 12,000 years the Falls cut an 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) long gorge in the Escarpment southward to its present-day position.
In the early 19th century, the community's name was spelled as Queenstown.
Queenston marks the southern terminus of the Bruce Trail. The cairn marking the trail's terminus is in a parking lot, about 160 metres (520 ft) from General Brock's Monument on the easterly side of the monument's park grounds." - info from Wikipedia.
Late June to early July, 2024 I did my 4th major cycling tour. I cycled from Ottawa to London, Ontario on a convoluted route that passed by Niagara Falls. During this journey I cycled 1,876.26 km and took 21,413 photos. As with my other tours a major focus was old architecture.
