The UN-NYG Mentoring Programme is a project initiated by the UN-NYG and led by Ms Amelia Lee Zhi Yi, the UN-NYG Mentoring Coordinator. The programme is implemented with support from the IAEA Office of the Deputy Director General, Ms Mary Alice Hayward, Head of the Department of Management.
The key vision of the mentoring programme is to act as a platform for IAEA staff to strengthen their professional skills at the workplace and improve networking capacity through the cultivation of cross departmental and generational relationships.
The goals of the Mentoring Programme are to:
1. Strengthen staff resources through mutual learning experiences for mentors and mentees, to nurture high performance leaders with the capacity to “give back” at the workplace
2.Develop self-sustaining professional relationships between mentors and mentees that narrow the gap between different departments and age groups at the IAEA
The British Touring Car Championship held at Rockingham on 14th September 2013
Rockingham Motor Speedway, a great venue name but is it a huge white elephant or jewel in the British Motorsport crowd? The track was opened in 2001 by the Queen and is now 12-years old. Although it is tidy and really well maintained, the whole venue has a feeling of neglect and almost desolation. Not physical neglect; as i said it is all really well looked after, but neglected from the original reason that it was designed and built for.
When the venue was first conceived in the late nineties, the hope was that if the first purpose built Oval circuit since Brooklands in 1907 was constructed in the UK, then top level American racing series would visit and compete here on a regular basis. The track and the venue infrastructure was carefully designed to meet the highly restrictive standards needed to comply with IndyCar and NASCAR regulations.
After all that effort and money was expended the IndyCar Series (the Cart Series in those days) did visit the newly completed circuit in 2001 and again in 2002. Set the track lap records and then never returned. The NASCAR series never visited and the ASCAR europeon stock car series, didn't really take off and this fizzled out as well. After 6-years of intermittent use, the full oval circuit finally fell silent at the end of the 2007 season.
The annual BTCC visit to the Northamptonshire circuit is one of the largest events held each year but even this is totally swamped by the sheer size of a venue designed for a much bigger type of motorsport altogether. This observation might be due to the fact that I have only ever visited Rockingham on the Saturday, but I have been to the qualifying day on a lot of other events and not had this feeling of isolation anywhere else.
The circuit can comfortably seat 52,000 spectators, but when only about 1000 turn up you can feel a bit lost in the whole environment. With only a few hardcore spectators in attendance, the circuit has all the charisma of a council estate car park, flat and unassuming.
The view from the main grandstand is spectacular with the whole of the circuit, if not most of the county, easily seen from any of the seats, but it is just so remote . I'm sure I am not alone in enjoying walking around different circuits and viewing the action close up from different viewpoints and corners. To really experience the racing, you cant beat getting really close to action and Rockingham just can't compete on this front.
There is one spectator facility which is better than anywhere else in the country. That is the viewing area on the top of the pit garages, which gives you a fantastic view of the action and activity within the pit lane; something which you just don't get to see at any other circuit. If they could just provide spectator access overlooking the main overtaking location at the Deene hairpin and some access to the infield area , then Rockingham could once again be a spectacular place to view top flight motor racing.

01 September, 2017, Somali Region, Ethiopia - IFAD/WB supported Pastoral Community Development Programme (PCDP III) – Human and Animal Health Post.
The heads of the three UN food agencies are visiting Ethiopia to highlight the critical food and nutrition security situation. Consecutive climate shocks have resulted in back-to-back droughts, which have caused hunger to soar and malnutrition rates to rise to alarming levels. The agency chiefs will discuss how best to strengthen their support to the Government and its systems so that Ethiopia can continue meeting its development goals while simultaneously addressing humanitarian challenges along the way. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Director-General José Graziano da Silva, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) President Gilbert F. Houngbo and the World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director David Beasley are in Ethiopia from 1-4 September.In the worst-affected parts of the country, in the south and south-east, rains have failed for the third consecutive year. More than 8.5 million people require food assistance in the second half of 2017. The response led by the Government has begun to stabilize the situation, however additional efforts and support is urgently needed to prevent the situation deteriorating further.The agency heads will witness first-hand the scale of the crisis during a field mission to Somali region where the drought has killed many heads of livestock, causing a breakdown in pastoral livelihoods and a jump in malnutrition.The trio will meet drought-affected people who are receiving food rations, visit nutrition centres treating malnourished children and see distributions of essential support to keep the remaining livestock alive.The current food security and nutrition crisis cannot be resolved by emergency assistance alone. The longer-term solution lies in building communitiesâ resilience to better withstand shocks and avoid being plunged back into crisis. In Tigray region, the agency chiefs will see the dividends of investing in resilience. They will visit communities where the agencies' complementary projects have boosted productivity, strengthened livelihoods and improved nutrition. In Addis Ababa, the three representatives will hold high-level discussions with Government representatives, and UN and other partner organizations, on the life-saving response and the need for greater collaboration and investment in resilience.

The Lightweight Concept Vehicle programme was initiated by Land Rover in the early 1990s, and was a serious investigation into the production of lighter, cleaner and greener off-roaders. The idea was to test-bed new technologies, harking back to the days of the British Leyland Technology ECV programme, and one of the targets was to come up with a Defender replacement capable of 40mpg.
The LCV1 based on a Discovery 1, and was effectively that car re-clad in aluminium – and produced encouraging results. That led to LCV2, which was a series of prototypes closely based on the Defender 90. Underneath, though, it was radically different to its lookalike, built on a unique bonded and riveted space frame. Despite this, it was strong – and is said to have the strength and durability of the production Defender. That was developed into the ultimate incarnation of the LCV, the LCV⅔ – or LCV ‘two-thirds’, as it was known internally.
The LCV⅔ was built to demonstrate to company management what could be achieved in the next phase of the programme, LCV3. Sadly, that never got underway, leaving us with a fascinating insight into the mindset of Land Rover in the late 1990s, and what its idea of a new-age Defender replacement would look like. It’s also an interesting comparison with the Land Rover SD5 of the 1970s.
The styling inside and out was conservative, yet progressive, designed to appeal to management – but it was underneath where all the action takes place. The space frame design philosophy and construction techniques were carried over from the LCV2, while the engine was a KV6 lifted straight out of the Rover 800. The pick-up was considerably more aerodynamic than the Defender 90, and looks really appealing even today. However, the project never took off – investment costs would have been too high in an era when the emphasis was on getting the Range Rover L322 and Rover 75 into production.
