Guests engage in a discussion during an event held at the National Museum of Somalia in Mogadishu, on 13 June 2024. UNSOM in collaboration with the National Museum of Somalia launched an initiative to increase understanding of human rights among Somali communities: the Universal Human Right Declaration is translated into more languages spoken in Somalia - Maadoonte, Chimini, Gare, Jiido, Baajuni, Dabaare and Af Maay. The event was attended by community representatives and museum officials, and involved presenting the UDHR multi-lingual versions and artwork that reflects the culture of the linguistic communities to the public.

Assignment 2.
Project: “Concrete circus”
Theme: Circle of life
Title: Understanding
Concrete Circus to me means the circle of life: how people live in buildings, use them and how they decay. The sculpture holds four parts of life: from birth, meaning being built; being old and sick; as being damaged and how the colour changes as we move towards death.
I used around 6-7 bags of clank clay to create this sculpture. This took me 1 week at college: about 25 hours. Scale 110 cm 60kg.
At the end of time I take it back to the studio to record the final process of sickness to death as how this sculpture is about to die, then took it back out side until nothing is left but rock.

Laboratory data are critical to the understanding of the properties and genesis of a single pedon, as well as to the understanding of fundamental soil relationships based on many observations of a large number of soils. The development of an analytical database and the soil relationships based on those data are the cumulative effort of several generations of soil scientists.
The purpose of Soil Survey Investigations Report (SSIR) No. 42, Kellogg Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual, is to document methodology and to serve as a reference for the laboratory analyst. This document is expected to continue to change over time as new knowledge and technologies result in the development of new methods and the modification or retirement of old methods. This manual documents current methods and archives obsolete methods. It provides a historical perspective, documenting the contributions of many soil scientists who have gone before us. Many of these scientists are noted in the section on contributors.

The Buffer tool, a geoprocessing tool in the Analysis toolbox in ArcToolbox, generates buffer polygons, or offsets, around input features at a specified distance. Buffers show the area that is within some distance of the input features. The tool is popular because the concept of buffering is easy to understand and buffering plays an important role in many geoprocessing workflows involving proximity or distance analysis (i.e., How far away are these things? or What features are within a distance of other features?). Because the Buffer tool is important in performing proximity tasks, a key goal for developers working on this tool has been to ensure that buffers accurately depict distances around features.

This historic MOU signing takes place during AANAPISI Week (September 23–September 29, 2024). This week celebrates the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) designation, which was established by Congress on September 27, 2007, to improve the availability and quality of postsecondary education programs to support low-income, first-generation Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) students. AANAPISI Week commemorates the significance and achievements of AANAPISIs and allows organizations and institutions to celebrate the educational support of underserved AANHPI students.

It’s worth recalling that in December 2016, the Commissioner for Human Resources Science and Technology, H.E. Dr Martial De Paul Ikounga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Secretary-General of the Association of African Universities (AAU), Professor Etienne Ehouan Ehile.
AAU is the voice of higher education in Africa and has been a lead agency in implementing the continental vision since its founding under the OAU. The African Union Agenda 2063 calls for an education and skills revolution to meet the human resource needs for actualising Africa’s social-economic development. As such, the African university occupies a strategic role in ensuring that our education systems are oriented towards promoting innovation, critical thinking, pan Africanism and entrepreneurial orientations while addressing Africa’s challenges and optimising on its opportunities.
The partnership between the AUC and the AAU over the last decade has witnessed the strengthening of the African higher education space through the promotion of intra-African academic mobility, harmonisation of qualifications for mutual recognition across the Member States; and promotion of a culture of continuous quality improvement through the AU’s African Quality Rating Mechanism.
The AAU has been able to mobilise African academia to appropriate the continental vision of Agenda 2063, and it has helped to build accountable leadership and quality in research and scholarship
GOAL: To increase engagements between the AAU and North America and the Diaspora
Objectives
• Mobilize funds for the advancement of Higher Education in Africa.
• Promote and develop relations between the African Academic Diaspora and African Higher Education Institutions (HEI).
• Promote sister university collaborations
• Promote and develop research and education networks among African Higher Education Institutions and their North American counterparts
• Promote corporate and non-profit America to support African Higher Education Institutions
• Sensitize potential development partners to the education needs of African HEIs
• Promote student and staff exchange
• Promote a role for Higher Education in US-Africa relations
• Develop and implement comprehensive international Initiatives for senior leadership at public research universities to facilitate seamless integration of international dimensions into the learning, discovery and engagement missions of our AAU institutions.
• Foster the development of globally competent students, internationally engaged faculty, and institutions capable of addressing global challenges.
• Identify critical issues, gather information, and create opportunities for AAU members to discuss challenges and share knowledge with their NA counterparts.
• Serve as the leading advocate for advancing the broad interests of the AAU in NA
• Support the development of innovative approaches and solutions to African Higher Education
