Participants tackle prospects and challenges of the National Settlement
Baghdad, 15 October 2017 – Tribal representatives, religious leaders, academics, political party representatives and civil society representatives from Baghdad, Wasit and Salaheddin Provices met on Saturday in Baghdad in the second of a series of roundtable discussions under the theme ”National Settlement: Prospects and Challenges” aiming at creating an enabling environment for Iraqi national reconciliation. The roundtable was organized jointly by the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), the Implementation and Follow-up Committee for National Reconciliation (IFCNR) at the Office of the Prime Minister and Al-Rafidain Centre for Dialogue, with funding from the Governments of Germany and the Netherlands.
In his opening remarks, the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) for Iraq, Mr. Gyorgy Busztin said, “We believe that reconciliation and coexistence are the way forward towards the country’s stabilization and sustaining the political process based on pluralism and democracy. It is unity which led to successive victories against terrorism as we saw when all the forces and components of the country united to stand up against the vicious attack of the terrorist ISIS.”
“This would never have happened without the unity of all, despite differences, in the fight against the common enemy,” he added.
On his part, the Advisor to the IFCNR, Mr. Hussein Al-Adli said that these roundtables were “a way of including all opinions in the settlement process”, and that discussions “should be frank and constructive.” He added that the current crisis between Baghdad and Erbil is evidence that settlement is a must. He also added that “settlement is an equation of interests and not an equation of ideologies.”
The Chairman of Al-Rafidain Centre for Dialogue, Mr. Zaid Al-Talaqani, said that the “culture of dialogue is important in building societies and promoting peaceful coexistence.” But, he added, that “dialogue in itself is not enough. Rather, it must have direction.”
Participants highlighted post-ISIL challenges with regard to settlement and they put forward recommendations to ensure success of the ongoing reconciliation efforts at the political and societal levels.

Wheal Unity Wood mine, between 1815 and 1843 produced large tonnages of copper ore, but by 1843 its output had reduced considerably, although it still employed 200 workers. Unusually for this district, the mine also produced some tin at depth.
During the second half of the nineteenth century the mine opened and closed frequently, and was operated under a number of different, including West Poldice (1880-85) and Tolgullow United Mines (1886-1903). However Wheal Unity Wood is the name that appears to have been used for it most often.
A 70-inch pumping engine at Magor's Shaft was purchased, in about 1869, from Prosper United near Marazion. It seems probable that the 20-inch whim engine at Wheal Bush was bought from Prosper United too. This engine operated both a whim and the stamps.
Killifreth, at the northern end of the woods, started to become more important, and before the end of the the 1900's had returned to being principally a tin mine. It was a model of a small-scale mine, with safety features on its skips, a shiftboss system underground and a new and efficient tin stamps and dressing plant. Old Sump Shaft (Engine Shaft) was fitted with a 50-inch cylinder pumping engine, a 32-inch stamps engine installed, with buddles and calciner, and a steam whim. In the early 1890s an 80-inch pumping engine was installed at Hawke's (Richard's) Shaft. However by 1896, with the tin price dropping, the mine was not profitable. In 1897 the underground was leased to Truro School of Mines for the training of students, and most of the machinery and plant was sold off.
When the tin price picked up,the owners installed a second-hand 85inch engine in Hawke's engine house in 1912 (there had been an 80-inch steam engine). Shafts were examined and put in order, but no actual mining took place the First World War intervened. After the War preparations the tin price slump of 1920/21 closed it again.
During the middle of the 1920s Killifreth took over Wheal Busy to mine arsenic, but this brief revival was over by 1927, and mining ceased.
The New Jersey Army and Air National Guard celebrated Unity Day on Thursday, June 18, 2015 at the National Guard's Joint Training and Training Development Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey. This year's observance kicked off with a 5K Fun Walk/Run followed by official ceremonies.
The New Jersey National Guard was the first state militia in the country to desegregate. In April of 1930, with the full support and encouragement of then Governor Alfred Driscoll, the State Legislature took the unprecedented step of approving the formation of the First Separate Battalion, New Jersey Army National Guard. Even though these actions were in apparent violation of federal law, the state appropriated funds for the organization of this battalion. In July of 1931, 63 members of Company A of New Jersey's newest unit were mustered-in at an old movie theater in Newark, New Jersey.

For a short amount of time this looked like the earth in microcosm, a perfect symbol of what the world should be, a world of unity.

TOPIC OUTLINE:
Eternity is a long, long time. So why on Earth don't we think more about Heaven??
Admit it - while you've got a vague idea that God's Kingdom is going to be a place of happiness and unity with God, you're also curious about the specifics.
What will our "risen" bodies look like? Will there still be such a thing as male and female? (You know what I mean) How old will I be?
