APM Terminals Valencia successfully completed the implementation of Navis N4 in February 2021, as its new terminal operating system (TOS). A process that began last Friday night, 4 February, with the scheduled interruption of operations for the migration of data, followed by the restart of the vessel operations during the weekend, as well as on Monday in the land part. Both will gradually increase their performance as issues related to the process are addressed.
Navis N4 is the world standard for operating systems in APM Terminals' global network, and will enable its Valencia facilities to have the most advanced TOS in the port, improve processes and optimize its planning to increase productivity, with the aim of continuing to grow to become one of the leading terminals in the Mediterranean.
"Growth is one aspect, and it is the commitment of our management team, but the cultural change that Navis N4 brings is the most important thing for me. During all this time before Go Live we have worked together with our stevedoring colleagues with the necessary generosity to achieve this change that offers us common objectives and competitiveness, and that is what I am most excited about," said Carlos Arias, APM Terminals Spanish Gateways Managing Director.
"The implementation of a new operating system on a terminal is not an easy process which is usually done every two decades. Of course, there are issues that only arise when the system is in production. I won't deny that we have had issues, but I won't deny that they are being addressed in record time. A good example is the operation at the gates, which within 48 hours have gone from being at 50% of their capacity to operating normally. There are also problems in the maritime operation, but they are being solved and we hope to operate normally in the next few days," he added.
APM Terminals Valencia invested 5 million dollars in Navis N4 and spent more than 2 years setting up and training the team to provide access to the best management tools and the possibility of increasing the yard's capacity by 10%.
Colombia, 2022.
The Peace Agreement in Colombia, signed in 2016 between the Government and the guerrilla group FARC-EP, put an end to the longest war in Latin America.
Six years later, more than 13,000 ex-combatants, a third of which are women, continue to face daily challenges resulting from their reintegration into civil life. The country's new government has generated momentum both domestically and internationally towards the reactivation of the women, peace and security agenda, emphasizing the importance of the reintegration process to achieve a stable peace.
Since its inception, the Peace Agreement has included a gender approach as an indispensable condition for its implementation. Women ex-combatants have enthusiastically embraced new roles as mothers, entrepreneurs, students, citizens and political leaders. However, their lives are still full of challenges related to their physical, legal and political security; educational and economic opportunities; and access to specialized health services, among others. These conditions are key for a successful reintegration.
UN Women, together with governmental and civil society actors, supports this process with actions that strengthen women's citizenship, political leadership and economic empowerment, as well as prevent gender violence and build new masculinities among male ex-combatants. Nearly 3,000 women in 11 regions of the country benefit from these programs, allowing them to strengthen their role as peacebuilders.

York Regional Council adopted the three-stream waste management system in 2001. This system separates household organic waste, Blue Box recyclable material and residual waste. The objective of the three-stream system is to divert more waste from landfills. It was launched in September 2004, through a collection of source separated organics by then Town of Markham within a pilot area. The three-stream system included the addition of new types of recyclable materials to the Blue Box program. The new materials were added in the pilot area within then Town of Markham and were expanded Region-wide on July 4, 2005 to correspond with the opening of the Region's new Waste Management Centre in the Town of East Gwillimbury. Municipalities in York Region began collecting organic waste, with the program fully implemented in 2008. The Region was able to divert 112,403 tonnes of green bin organics from landfills in 2020.

Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.

U.S. Senator Cory Booker walks and talks with a conference participant on his way to Lincoln Park at the end of a public meeting, April 12, 2023, in Newark, New Jersey. USDA Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Dr. Homer Wilkes, U.S. Senator Cory Booker and White House Senior Advisor for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation John Podesta announced historic funding through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expand access to urban nature, combat the climate crisis, and advance environmental justice, after meeting with local and state stake holders.
The funding announced that day is part of a $1.5 billion investment in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Program from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act. The grant funding is available to community-based organizations, tribes, municipal and state governments, nonprofit partners, universities, and other eligible entities as they work to increase tree cover in urban spaces and boost equitable access to nature while bolstering resilience to extreme heat, storm-induced flooding, and other climate impacts. This historic level of investment will enable the Forest Service to support projects to improve public health, increase access to nature, and deliver real economic and ecological benefits to cities, towns and tribal communities across the country.

Picture of our mortar and pestle. We bought it many years ago to grind herbs and seasonings but use it instead to grind pills for the cats. The smaller oral syringe is used to administer the medication orally (making it difficult for the cats to avoid their medicine) and the larger one is what we use to feed Argent (who doesn’t have an appetite anymore).

Funded by the European Union Office in Kosovo, the Integrated Border Management (IBM) Kosovo Project, implemented by UNOPS, is establishing three common crossing points between Serbia and Kosovo.* The €11 million project aims to foster economic development as well as enhance regional cooperation, peace and stability.
Situated at Merdarë, Bërnjak and Mutivodë in Kosovo, the crossing points are being hosted and reconstructed in partnership with the government of Kosovo and the European Union Office in Kosovo. UNOPS is responsible for the design, construction, procurement and financial management activities for the facilities at each location. This includes the installation and relocation of essential infrastructure, including traffic infrastructure and bridges.
The facilities have been designed to meet European standards for integrated border management. The modern infrastructure will help facilitate institutional, operational and procedural reforms – facilitating free trade and the movement of goods and people. Upon completion, the three crossing point facilities will house 200 officers helping more than 1.5 million people safely cross between Kosovo and Serbia every year – more than 4,000 citizens on average every day.

The community of San Juan de Iris is located in the Rímac watershed, which is the main water source for Lima. Here, an ancient water infiltration canal is being recovered, called Amuna. This is already part of a set of amunas that have been recovering since 2016. The amuna of San Juan de Iris began in August and will be completed in mid-September 2020.
This amuna intervention helps to regulate water in the basin, especially into the subsoil and into the aquifer so that the communities have more water during the dry season.
The communities implementing these measures are receiving additional economic income, in the face of the health and economic crisis related to COVID-19, as the government cannot cover their main economic needs.

El Ministro de Transportes y Comunicaciones, José Gallardo Ku, recibió del Gobierno del Japón equipos destinados a implementar un sistema de prevención de desastres que permitirá a la población recibir información rápida, precisa y estable sobre emergencias.
El sistema -que utilizará el estándar de Televisión Digital Terrestre japonés brasileño ISDB-T, que viene siendo implementado en el Perú- podría utilizarse en caso de que el Fenómeno El Niño afecte a alguna de las localidades beneficiadas.
El "Proyecto para el Mejoramiento del equipamiento para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres en la República del Perú" comprende la donación e implementación de ocho sistemas de observación de mareas; ocho sistemas EWBS (Emergency Warning Broadcasting System), conformados por estaciones de televisión digital terrestre-TDT con capacidad para transmitir la señal EWBS; y 15 receptores de TDT con capacidad de recibir esa señal.
El Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil (INDECI) es el responsable de emitir señal la alerta, la cual llega al Instituto Nacional de Radio y Televisión (IRTP), que la difunde a los hogares de la población de las localidades beneficiarias, utilizando el sistema EWBS (a través de la señal de televisión digital).
Las estaciones de TDT con EWBS -que estarán ubicadas en Arequipa (Arequipa, 1; Camaná, 3), Ica (Pisco, 1), La Libertad (Trujillo, 4), Lima (Lima, 1; Cañete, 1), Moquegua (Ilo, 4)- no solo podrán transmitir alertas por tsunami, sino también sobre diversos tipos de desastres, como inundaciones, deslizamientos, incendios, entre otros.
Actualmente en el Perú la información de desastres se tramite vía telefónica, radial o por email, siendo alta la probabilidad de interrupción en la comunicación cuando ocurre un desastre de gran magnitud.
"La introducción de este nuevo Sistema EWBS hará posible que la población reciba información más rápida, precisa y estable sobre emergencias por desastres, lo que contribuirá a salvar vidas y reducir daños", señaló Gallardo Ku.
El Ministro Gallardo y el Viceministro de Comunicaciones del Japón, Yasuo Sakamoto, destacaron la importancia del fortalecimiento de la cooperación entre ambos países en el campo de la televisión digital, así como ampliar la relación de cooperación en el sector de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC).
La entrega de equipos se realizó en el marco de la inauguración del Seminario Internacional en materia de Televisión Digital Terrestre (TDT) y Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (TIC), que se realizará los días 14 y 15 de enero de 2016 en Lima y en el que participarán delegados de 15 empresas japonesas.

The Amish work their ground year-round when the weather permits. That makes it easier to plant in the spring since all their planting is done by horse-drawn plow.
Illustrated is the new Arnold Clark concept for Skoda Edinburgh completed this week –13th January 2011. From a standing start Space Projects designed, detailed, contract managed and implemented this completely bespoke centre in twelve weeks including the stripping out of the existing structure.
From the bespoke rugs, chair materials, customer consultation areas, lighting specification, mechanical and electrical layouts, removing of the rear of the building to dealing with a seemingly impossible height issue towards the front of the property, all problems required quick practical head on thinking in order to deliver a trading unit to the client on time.
Splitting the unit on the diagonal coupled with the ramped entranceway deep into the retail space the customer is immediately greeted by an unusual, almost birds eye perspective of displayed vehicles upon arrival, making the transition into the space much more impactful than would normally be the case within a car showroom. The drama is further enhanced by an amphitheatre type staircase at the top of which cars are displayed in a fanned shaped pattern, feature car rotating in the background before then being bounced onto the reception desk, customer consultation areas and lounge area beyond. With hints and flashes of corporate green throughout the environment has been designed to be fresh, bright, modern, efficient, and customer friendly, and if a wait of any kind is required the rear of the unit has been opened up to offer an unrivalled 180° view of the firth of forth which we challenge any dealership to beat on any kind of day.

If have to dry it fast, dry your own hair using the lowest setting. This makes sure that your own hair is going to be kept soft and silky for several years.
Curl your eyelashes before you decide to wear mascara. You are going to produce the illusion of longer lashes as well as your eyes will appear bigger and brighter. Carefully squeeze and retain the device in the base of the lashes. Move the curler nearer to the ideas of the lashes and repeat. This helps provide a natural curve instead of a sharp angle.
Consider utilizing baking soda as a way to incorporate some vibrancy for your hair. Make use of a dime sized circle of baking soda combined with your normal shampoo. Still wash your own hair while you normally would. Doing this can help reinstate your hair's natural shine and luster.
For those who have a square-shaped face, make use of a coral or creamy rose blush to soften the angular appearance. Together with your fingers, place the blush on top of the cheek, then make use of a gentle tugging motion to open up the colour up toward your temples.
While you surely know at this point, a great beauty regimen will not need to be intimidating. You have to expend some effort to discover and exercise the correct techniques, however the final result causes it to be all worthwhile. In the event you stick to the advice out of this article, you will end up more able to creating your personalized beauty routine. catwalkfabulous.com/beauty-blog/

“Our Agenda 2063 flagship projects - such as the free movement of people, the Commodities strategy, the Pan African Integrated High speed Rail network - is taking off, and should help towards our vision of an integrated, peaceful and prosperous Africa, driven by its own people and taking its rightful place in the world”, underscored Dr. Dlamini Zuma.

Of course as the Chair of the Union, Zimbabwe led from the front”. She thanks the Mekelle authorities for hosting the AU Ministerial retreat and wished the Ministers fruitful deliberation.

21 September 2017 - UNGA - Implementation of SDGs should be country-led and country-owned.
This high level side event organized at the helm of the 72nd Session of the UN General Assembly continues to advocate the nature of the 2030 Agenda—‘country-led and country-owned,’ as reflected during the UNDG high level event during the HLPF 2017 earlier this year.
UN Deputy Secretary-General, Ms. Amina J. Mohammed in her key note remarks stated, “We have hit the SDGs walking – not yet running – and we need to pick up the pace. Progress will only be achieved through genuine and meaningful partnerships.”
Host of the event, Mr. Achim Steiner, the UNDG Chair and the Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) said, "In the SDGs we have found a common language in identifying the challenges and opportunities in development. We need new partnerships- we need investment bankers to work with rural farmers, policy makers with activists."
The side event also marked the launch of the 2016 UNDG results report: Lift Off: Agenda 2030—Shared Results of the UNDG in 2016. The new report captures the collective results and impact achieved by the UN Development System through 131 UN Country Teams supporting 165 countries and territories, as well as by the UNDG at the regional and global levels. The report is now available at undg.org
