The largest part of the 4U implements low-frequency radio operations.
This is, operation on frequencies below 500 KHz, the frequencies used almost exclusively by ship radios before and during World War II.
For this purpose the 4U includes two transmitters: a 200-watt main transmitter and a 50- watt emergency transmitter.
Both can transmit on the frequencies between 400 KHz and 500 KHz that are allocated for ship radio communications. Complementing them is a TRF receiver that can receive signals on all frequencies between 16 and 600 KHz.
High-frequency communications ("short wave") are supported by the 4U with a 200-watt transmitter and a superhet receiver that can operate on frequencies up to about 22MHz.
Of course, both the low-frequency and the high-frequency units implement only telegraph communication since voice communication was almost unheard of when the shipd were new.
The 4U also includes an Auto-Alarm (a device that can detect distress signals and raise an alert when the Radio Officer is off-duty) and even a classical crystal set, with its "cat's whisker." Internal motor-generators convert the ship's 110 volt DC power and battery power to the high voltage needed by the transmitters' tubes - there were no transistors in 1945!
This original radio equipment has been maintained and serviced, is fully operational and has passed the mandatory annual Federal Communications Commission and Coast Guard inspections. The current license still specifies the ship's original call-sign: KECW, the same call-sign assigned to the ship during its service in the WWII, Korea and Vietnam conflicts.
Associated with the 4U Radio Unit is the ship's radio direction finder (RDF), located in the Chart Room. The RDF assists navigation by enabling the ship's officers to determine the direction of remote radio stations.
The Social Mobilization Implementing Partners Forum, supported by Government of Sierra Leone, NERC, and UN, brought partners together to recognize social mobilization achievements in the Ebola response and to agree on the way forward which was held at the Country Lodge in Freetown, 30th January, 2015.
The forum focused on the next phase of the Ebola response in the country.
The Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, JMEC says the greatest challenge facing the implementation of the peace agreement is inclusivity.
Speaking at the opening of a JMEC plenary meeting in Juba on 8 February 17, Festus Mogae said factions within the SPLM in opposition and inadequate representation of opposing voices in the peace process had undermined progress in the establishment of key institutions and mechanisms provided for in the peace agreement.
The JMEC chairperson also condemned continued fighting and reports of revenge killings, sexual violence and human rights abuses in parts of the country. Mogae said recent fighting around Malakal and in Renk of Upper Nile constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement and said ceasefire monitors have opened investigations into the attacks.
Mogae also urged the swift deployment of the 4-thousand strong Regional Protection Force as approved by the UN Security Council to bolster security in Juba and its surrounding areas.

Set of carved wooden implements for the Chinese tea ceremony made with a lotus theme. Bought at the small jade market near the computer mall at Pateh in Taipei. I had originally thought that the whole set cost S$20; each item cost S$20 by itself.
There is a spoon in the shape of a lotus fruit; a pick shaped like a lotus root; as well as a scoop and a funnel that look like lotus leaves. These are for the tourist trade - the Taiwanese wouldn't bother with such artsy stuff for daily use.
I think the lotus root is for cleaning the spout of the teapot; the lotus fruit for loosening tea leaves; the bowl of leaves is really a sieve for directing the tea into the teapot, and the single leaf for pouring the tea from container into the pot.

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.

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.

Bauhaus Museum Weimar, Germany
German architect Heike Hanada designed a minimalist concrete museum to celebrate the Bauhaus in Weimar, where the design school was founded 100 years ago. The building is dedicated to the design school creates a physical cultural presence for the Bauhaus in the German city where it was based between 1919 and 1925. Located near the Nazi-era Gauforum square and the Neue Museum Weimar, the Bauhaus Museum is a simple five-storey concrete box broken only with its entrance and a couple of windows. The enclosing shell of light-grey concrete lends the cube stability and dynamic solidity. Equally spaced horizontal grooves run around the facades of the museum, with the words "bauhaus museum" repeated in a band near the top of the building. Hanada designed the museum to be a public building for the city and has attempted to clearly connect it to the neighbouring park. With elements such as plinths, fasciae, portals, stairways and a terrace to the park, the architecture incorporates classical themes that underscore its public character.
The museum contains 2,000 m2 of exhibition space, which will be used to display around 1,000 items from the Weimar Bauhaus collection. A shop and entrance hall is located on the ground floor, with a cafe and toilets below, and three floors dedicated to telling the story of the Bauhaus above. Each of the galleries overlooks double-height spaces and are accessed from a long ceremonial staircase that stretches the height of the building. The visitors ascend a succession of interchanging open spaces and staircases until they finally arrive at the top floor where they are presented with an unobstructed view of the park. The cascading staircases are encased by ceiling-high walls and function as free-standing, enclosed bodies in the interior space. The collection is arranged to inform visitors about the history of the design school, with the gallery on the first floor dedicated to its origins in Weimar and the Bauhaus manifesto that Walter Gropius wrote in 1919. The second floor has exhibits that show how these ideas were implemented, with galleries dedicated to each of the Bauhaus directors – Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Mies van der Rohe – at the top of the building.
The museum in Weimar has opened to coincide with the centenary of the Bauhaus, which was established in the city in 1919. The school was forced to relocate from Weimar to Dessau in 1925, where Gropius designed a new school building for the institution. Following a short time based in Berlin the school closed for good in 1933. Although only open for just over a decade, the Bauhaus is the most influential art and design school in history. The ideas and people associated with the school had an incredible impact on design and architecture, and to mark its centenary we created a series exploring its key works and figures.

Before receiving a food package from a Foodgrains Bank-supported project implemented by World Relief Canada, Mary Nyandid (45) and her eight children would often go days without food.
“Life was not easy at all, there was no food,” says Nyandid. “My children were very sad and lost weight.”
Since receiving the package, Nyandid says her family’s health has improved, they’re eating twice a day and her children are smiling again.
Violent unrest in South Sudan has caused thousands of people to flee their homes. General security remains tense, and there are many internally displaced people being hosted by relatives.
Through World Relief Canada, 2,660 households (approx. 17,290 people) are receiving food packages of maize meal, beans, oil and salt. Displaced households, as well as those hosting displaced people, are receiving packages.
This project also receives financial support from Presbyterian World Service & Development (PWS&D), Christian & Missionary Alliance in Canada (C&MA), Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) and Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada (EMCC).
