The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF support conflict-affected children in Iraq through play
Baghdad, 16 December 2015 – UNICEF Iraq received a contribution from the LEGO Foundation that will help give around 50,000 children in Iraq a chance to play and learn. The organizations welcomed the contribution of 4,800 boxes containing LEGO play materials. The donation is part of the three-year global partnership between UNICEF and the LEGO Foundation signed in early 2015. Through the partnership, the two organizations promote quality early learning through play for children around the world. While play helps children address stress, it also performs a critical role in the development of the intellectual, emotional, social and creative skills needed to build the foundation for human development and lifelong learning.
Iraq has seen decades of conflict. Currently, nearly 3 million children have had their education disrupted, and nearly 1 million are internally displaced. Furthermore, over 100,000 Syrian children have taken refuge in Iraq.
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Ján Kubiš, reaffirmed the United Nations’ commitment to children. “Many Iraqi children bear emotional scars from the violence around them, but it is those rendered homeless by conflict who suffer the heaviest consequences. Millions of children, in camps for displaced people and refugees as well as those in host communities have limited or no access to education or recreational activities. It is with their predicament in mind that UNAMI and UNICEF called on LEGO for assistance to extend children affected by the crisis in Iraq with a combination of study and play in the form of creative toys, which might be the first for many of them since they lost their homes and possessions. The donation from LEGO Foundation should be a reminder to Iraqi politicians of the responsibility they share for the future generations, who deserve to live a life of peace and normalcy.”
Generations of children in Iraq have grown up in the midst of conflict, and have witnessed unimaginable acts of extreme violence and have been displaced from their homes and communities. Some children have been displaced multiple times as conflict reaches their new homes. “The opportunity given by the LEGO Foundation should also be used to call for more support to humanitarian programmes, particularly child protection,” Kubiš added.
Representing UNAMI at the delivery ceremony in Baghdad, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin appealed to the Iraqi politicians to think about the children of Iraq as they “are the hardest hit by violence and lack of stability. Their fate needs to be the responsibility of all decision makers. We want for them a happy future, away from violence, conflict and displacement in a country that provides equal rights to all its men, women and children. We want national reconciliation for Iraq that will give back to the children of Iraq what they were deprived of, play, learning and happiness, in other words a full childhood. The LEGO toys will teach them to build so that in the future they will be able to reconstruct their villages and towns ruined by terrorism. They will prove that building is superior to destruction” added DSRSG Busztin.
“The negative impact of this crisis on children cannot be over-emphasized,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “Continuing violence has cheated millions of children of their fundamental rights to safety, education and play. Many children have come into this world and grown up knowing only displacement and conflict. The donation from the LEGO Foundation is one positive step forward, allowing some of the most disadvantaged children to play and learn in a fun and safe environment and become the next generation to build a better future for Iraq.”
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way for children to acquire the skills needed to create new possibilities and meet the many challenges of the future. In the midst of violence and instability, playing and education can help to alleviate trauma for conflict-affected children,” said Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Through play, children can address stress and develop physical, intellectual and social skills, as well as creativity. Together with UNICEF, we work to put a stake in the ground for children and their development through quality play-based learning.”
The LEGO play materials will be distributed to 538 schools, 46 community centres and 8 child-friendly spaces across Iraq, giving over 50,000 children access to learning activities. The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF will provide training to build the capacity of teachers, facilitators and community members who will then guide children through LEGO activities as part of the initiative.

I've never understood how live exports support animal welfare, but then I reckon I still have a lot to learn from life...
And although I don't think I'll try beef or lamb with my lentils, I agree that all Australians should thank their farmer for their meals, which AREN'T exported!

Honda is traditionally known for automobiles, but for years the company has been conducting research to develop technologies that enhance the broader theme of human mobility. The Bodyweight Support Assist is a recent prototype that assists workers who spend extended periods of time on their feet standing, climbing or descending stairs, or maintaining semi-crouched positions, such as assembly-line workers. The device may also help the elderly get around easier. It is a next-generation product for Honda, based on studies of human walking that resulted in ASIMO, the company’s humanoid robot.
The Bodyweight Support Assist, an exoskeleton for the lower body, reduces the load and stress on legs, hips, knees, and ankles. The device’s simple form consists of a seat, frame, and shoes. To use it, a person straddles the slender frame, slips on the shoes, and puts the seat into position. Two computer-controlled motors obtain information from sensors in the shoes to determine the support needed based on the bending and stretching of the user’s knees. The assist force is directed towards the person’s center of gravity, just as with human legs, enabling the device to provide help in various movements. Weighing less than fifteen pounds, the Bodyweight Support Assist is powered by a lithium-ion battery that lasts two hours.

Attendees also got some hands-on experience in vehicle and flight simulators. ESGR’s Boss Lift highlights the value and skills military personnel bring to their civilian jobs and expresses gratitude to employers for their continued support of the military and National Guard and reserve members in the work force.
The Downs GAA 5KM Road Race and Family fun run 2012 took place on Wednesday June 13th at 20:00 at "The Downs" GAA near Mullingar, Co. Westmeath Ireland. On the night a huge crowd of over 400 runners, joggers, and walkers turned out to support the run. The race was a nice flat loop on country roads with fast times and personal bests recorded by many of the runners. The local community and the GAA club were out in force to organise and steward the race. This was a fundraiser for girls and boys underage football at the GAA club. This was the first running of the race and most of the participants agreed that they will look forward to returning to The Downs for the 2nd edition in 2013.

Supporting Liebig 14 - Berlin
Liebig 14 is one of Berlin longest running autonomous housing projects, serving as a space for collective living as well as community and political organising for over 20 years. After a 4 year legal process the owners of the building have finally been given legal permission to evict the house on the 2nd of February 2011. Squatted shortly after the fall of the wall in what was a derelict area of east Berlin, Liebig 14’s attempted eviction is just one sympton of a rampaging processes of gentrification which is rapidly forcing poorer residents out of the city centre and tearing apart the city’s radical infrastructure.
Liebig 14 is proud to be a part of a long history of autonomous spaces in Berlin and around the world. In working against capitalism, social hierarchy and discrimination, autonomous spaces take small but concrete steps towards wider political emancipation and self-determined living.
The eviction of Liebig 14 will be a loss not only to Berlin’s alternative project infrastructure but also a wider attack on projects everywhere attempting to build alternative, more socially just, and more sustainable modes of social organization. Solidarity with free spaces under threat in Berlin, Amsterdam, London and worldwide is key if we are to sustain these vital resources.
Stop gentrification from tearing apart our cities!
Support autonomous spaces!
Save Liebig 14!
A Special Operations Medical Support Detachment (SOMSD) conducts training at the Special Operations Forces Training and Experimentation Facility (SOFTEF) at Stafford Military Range.
SOMSD is a six-person surgical team deployed to the most dangerous missions where there is a need for a surgical team to fill in the gap of the golden hour so that patients can get surgical care within an hour. SOMSD operates in remote areas where a hospital is not close by, particularly in missions where potential casualties are expected.
