Monday, 16 March – The Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, met with Mr Tibor Navracsics, European Commissioner for education and culture, to discuss and strengthen cooperation between UNESCO and the European Commission.
"I take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the support of the European Commission, in all key areas of UNESCO's mandate, to protect heritage in conflict, to support Syrian refugees in Jordan, and so much more. Expectations are high, especially as regards the situation in Syria and Iraq, and we must join forces to step up our efforts," said the Director-General.
'There is a strategic alliance between the European Union and UNESCO," said the Commissioner, highlighting key cooperation in education and culture as means to empower and integrate people and youth in societies, in order to combat extremism. "This is true in Europe and elsewhere, it is a global issue, and we need to better connect education and culture as part of the answer. Citizenship education and culture are key to reintegrate people within societies," he added.
The Director-General shared a series of events and initiatives by UNESCO to protect heritage and combat extremism, and called for an even deeper cooperation with the European Union. "We can do much more with youth and this is precisely the purpose of the Net-Med project we implement together," She said.
The Director-General and the European Commissioner also discussed cooperation in the field of cultural industries and culture for sustainable development, in the context of the 10th anniversary of the Convention for the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions that was strongly supported by the European Union at the time of its adoption.


I received my Ph.D. in Zoology by the University of Washington, USA, in 2004, and I am currently working in the Evolutionary Genetics group of cE3c (University of Lisbon) as a post-doctoral researcher. My research on Evolutionary genetics focuses on a) understanding how neutral and selected genetic variation, at the scale of genes and also genome-wide, is generated and maintained in natural populations, and what it can tell us about historical processes and mechanisms leading to divergence and speciation, b) understanding the interaction of evolutionary forces guiding the evolution of multi-gene families, such as Major Histocompatibility (MHC) and Olfactory Receptor (OR) familes.
In my research I have been using as models avian systems, and particularly pelagic seabirds (order Procellariiformes), which has afforded me the opportunity to visit amazing islands around the world.
Currently my research goals include: 1) investigate the mechanisms driving population divergence and speciation of highly mobile, but philopatric, marine taxa, using neutral and adaptive markers; 2) characterize olfactory receptor genes in Cory's Shearwater and other Procellariiformes using Next Generation Sequencing, and investigate the evolutionary dynamics of the isolated genes, namely how they are maintained and diversify. More recently, I am interested in 3) investigating the mechanisms underlying the divergence and speciation of sympatric but allochronic seabird taxa, namely by looking for a genetic basis underlying the asynchronous breeding, and identifying environmental-driven selection pressures that may explain patterns of divergence driven by local adaptation.

A striking feature of the Scottish philosophical tradition has been the influence of Scottish philosophy abroad, in many different parts of the world over several centuries. From the medieval period there were strong connections with France, and subsequently with Europe more generally. In the 18th century, both before and after the American Revolution, Scottish philosophy had a powerful influence on education thought and practice in the formative years of the United States. In the 19th century this influence extended to Canada, and then Australia. Even in India and the Far Eastern parts of Asia it is possible to find evidence of the impact of Scottish philosophy on educational and scientific ways of thinking, an impact importantly renewed and strengthened in the second half of the 20th century by Japanese interest in Adam Smith and other social theories of the Scottish Enlightenment.
This brief account of the influence of Scottish philosophy worldwide is in the making. It will be added to from time to time, and additional information is most welcome.

Osborne Reynolds FRS (23 August 1842 – 21 February 1912) was a prominent Irish-born British innovator in the understanding of fluid dynamics. Separately, his studies of heat transfer between solids and fluids brought improvements in boiler and condenser design. He spent his entire career at what is now the University of Manchester.
2 Fluid mechanics
4 Other work
Life[edit]
Osborne Reynolds was born in Belfast and moved with his parents soon afterward to Dedham, Essex. His father worked as a school headmaster and clergyman, but was also a very able mathematician with a keen interest in mechanics. The father took out a number of patents for improvements to agricultural equipment, and the son credits him with being his chief teacher as a boy. Reynolds showed an early aptitude and liking for the study of mechanics. In his late teens, for the year before entering university, he went to work as an apprentice at the workshop of Edward Hayes, a well known shipbuilder in Stony Stratford, where he obtained practical experience in the manufacture and fitting out of coastal steamers (and thus gained an early appreciation of the practical value of understanding fluid dynamics).
Osborne Reynolds attended Queens' College, Cambridge and graduated in 1867 as the seventh wrangler in mathematics.[1] He had chosen to study mathematics at Cambridge because, in his own words in his 1868 application for the professorship, "From my earliest recollection I have had an irresistible liking for mechanics and the physical laws on which mechanics as a science is based.... my attention drawn to various mechanical phenomena, for the explanation of which I discovered that a knowledge of mathematics was essential."[2] For the year immediately following his graduation from Cambridge he again took up a post with an engineering firm, this time as a practising civil engineer in the London (Croydon) sewage transport system. In 1868 he was appointed professor of engineering at Owens College in Manchester (now the University of Manchester), becoming in that year one of the first professors in UK university history to hold the title of "Professor of Engineering". This professorship had been newly created and financed by a group of manufacturing industrialists in the Manchester area, and they also had a leading role in selecting the 25–year–old Reynolds to fill the position.
Reynolds remained at Owens College for the rest of his career – in 1880 the college became a constituent college of the newly founded Victoria University. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1877 and awarded the Royal Medal in 1888. He retired in 1905 and died of influenza 21 February at Watchet in Somerset.[2][3]. He was buried at the Church of St Decuman, Watchet.[3]
Fluid mechanics[edit]
Reynolds' experiment on fluid dynamics in pipes
Reynolds' observations of the nature of the flow in his experiments
Reynolds most famously studied the conditions in which the flow of fluid in pipes transitioned from laminar flow to turbulent flow. In 1883 Reynolds demonstrated the transition to turbulent flow in a classic experiment in which he examined the behaviour of water flow under different flow rates using a small jet of dyed water introduced into the centre of flow in a larger pipe.
The larger pipe was glass so the behaviour of the layer of dyed flow could be observed, and at the end of this pipe there was a flow control valve used to vary the water velocity inside the tube. When the velocity was low, the dyed layer remained distinct through the entire length of the large tube. When the velocity was increased, the layer broke up at a given point and diffused throughout the fluid's cross-section. The point at which this happened was the transition point from laminar to turbulent flow.
From these experiments came the dimensionless Reynolds number for dynamic similarity—the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. Reynolds also proposed what is now known as Reynolds-averaging of turbulent flows, where quantities such as velocity are expressed as the sum of mean and fluctuating components. Such averaging allows for 'bulk' description of turbulent flow, for example using the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations.
Reynolds' contributions to fluid mechanics were not lost on ship designers ("naval architects"). The ability to make a small scale model of a ship, and extract useful predictive data with respect to a full size ship, depends directly on the experimentalist applying Reynolds' turbulence principles to friction drag computations, along with a proper application of William Froude's theories of gravity wave energy and propagation. Reynolds himself had a number of papers concerning ship design published in Transactions of the Institution of Naval Architects.
Publications[edit]
His publications in fluid dynamics began in the early 1870s. His final theoretical model published in the mid-1890s is still the standard mathematical framework used today. Examples of titles from his more groundbreaking reports:
"An experimental investigation of the circumstances which determine whether the motion of water shall be direct or sinuous, and of the law of resistance in parallel channels". Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. 35 (224–226): 84–99. 1883. Bibcode:1883RSPS...35...84R. doi:10.1098/rspl.1883.0018.

Other work[edit]
Reynolds published about seventy science and engineering research reports. When towards the end of his career these were republished as a collection they filled three volumes. For a catalogue and short summaries of them see the External links. Areas covered besides fluid dynamics included thermodynamics, kinetic theory of gases, condensation of steam, screw-propeller-type ship propulsion, turbine-type ship propulsion, hydraulic brakes, hydrodynamic lubrication, and laboratory apparatus for better measurement of Joule's mechanical equivalent of heat.
One of the subjects that Reynolds studied in the 1880s was the properties of granular materials, including dilatant materials. In 1903 appeared his 250-page book The Sub-Mechanics of the Universe, in which he tried to generalise the mechanics of granular materials to be "capable of accounting for all the physical evidence, as we know it, in the Universe". His aim seems to have been to construct a theory of aether, which he considered to be in a liquid state. The ideas were extremely difficult to understand or evaluate, and in any case were overtaken by other developments in physics around the same time.

Done in Irish but still pretty good. A lot of stuff I didn't know, like f.ex the correlation with European warrior wolf hordes in early Irish society. Thought they could have done it more as a nature documentary though. Still none the wiser as to where the main concentration of wolves existed, how local populations protected live stock from them etc. The wolfhound, for instance, who bred that animal? The man from the RIA was interesting showing dog and wolf skulls found in caves arund Ireland in the early 20th century. Did learn the last wolf was killed somewhere near Carlow in the late 18th century.
I had heard somewhere, perhaps urban legend, that the last wolf was hunted down and killed in Ireland as late as 1912..?
Can anyone confirm? I would have thought it very difficult given the longstanding view of some farmers that all possible predators should be wiped out- even rare eagles.
This is not intended as a pop at farmers, many of whom are actually much broader minded than the narrow band of those who feel everything should be swept away for commercial farming, by the way. The thing is we have very little space and where wolves would thrive would be in hills, mountains, forest of which we now have relatively little.
I would like to think we could have wolves again but would fear for the reaction among hill-farmers.
The Pyrenees and the Rocky Mountain states have enough room for national parks big enough to allow the wolf space to live but we do not, unfortunately.
I think that was down to an article in The Spectator Magazine tht suggested there was still remote pockets of wolves left roaming the countryside in the west. There isn't any evidence for it though.
The funny thing in the doc was that until the early 20th century in rural parts of Ireland, during funerals they would still put the coffin down on the ground at intervals because they believed they could fool wolves who they figured were digging up the dead to feast on them. So even 200 years after the last wolf was killed in Ireland, people still clung to those superstitions.
The last wolf was killed in 1786 on Mount Leinster. Sad to think that was the last of them. Imagine being the last survivor of your kind? There is a stuffed wolf in the National Museum which I always thought was the one killed. Must pay a visit again.
Surprisingly perhaps, Irish wolves survived their Scottish cousins by a century although there is a great story that a wolf was seen in Scotland in 1888.
The last wolf was killed in 1786 on Mount Leinster. Sad to think that was the last of them. Imagine being the last survivor of your kind?
Indeed, it's pretty shocking to think how quickly they were wiped out. The man from the RIA suggested there was a problem with rabies in the wolf population during the 17th century which would have hastened the fear and subsequent cull of the wolf population due to a lot of attacks on humans. That and the price of wolf skins which seem to have become a bit of a fashion item.
It was on RTE before the BBC showed it but you couldn't bring yerself to watch it on good aul Raidió Teilifís Éireann.
They were known to the natives as Mac an Tír.
Highly recommend you watch this.
I wrote a short article about a suspected wolf attack in Poland.
How long could a nature documentary on an extinct animal have lasted?
Were you watching the same programme as I was?
He mentioned rabies in passing but he also said that a healthy wolf would never attack a healthy human. With the arrival of the new settlers the wolfs habitat was encroached upon and wolves came into conflict with the settlers.
The wolves were there first not bothering anyone.
Two half hour shows Riadach most of it's contents you'd probably be more familiar with the story but you might still enjoy it.
For instance you got the same price for the head of an Irishman as you did for the carcass of a adult male wolf.
Starving and rabid wolves will attack humans but in general they avoid contact and will hide on people which is why it is often difficult to know, as in Ifor's example from Poland, exactly where they are unless they are hunting and killing farm animals.
No, I mean Schomberg's suggestion that it should have been done as a nature documentary. I've seen the first part of the series, may have neglected to record the second though.
That doesn't contradict anything I said, Schom was trying to paint this as the wolves just decided one day to launch a genocide against the natives and the settlers which is wrong.
Conflict arose when the settlers began clearing the wolves habitat for farming.
Also for anyone interested there is a new programme on UTV at 8 'Ulster Unearted'.
Wel RTE made a 3-parter on CJH, so that depends.
I think I recall once reading an article that one of the last wolves in Ireland was supposed to have been hunted down in an area near the Cave Hill above Belfast in Co Antrim. Anyone ever hear this story?
Wishful thinking mitsui2, wishful thinking.
The newly arrived English settlers in Ireland were probably horrified at finding that there was a significant wolf population in Ireland in the 1600s, in fact, one of the nicknames used for Ireland at this time was wolf-land.
Along with the rebel Irish the settlers viewed the wolves as vermin and a significant threat to the English society they were trying to recreate in Ireland, and should be exterminated as quickly as possible."
Their demise was undoubtedly hastened by the bounties paid for wolf skins by our then overlords. The bounties were very generous for the time.
I lived for a while in Legoniel, in north Belfast, near enough to the Cave Hill. The street was called Wolfhill Ave, as one of the last wolves in Ireland was said to have been killed in that area.

Early Warning: Are Winters Getting Warmer in Ithaca, NY?
Are Winters Getting Warmer in Ithaca, NY?
This is of somewhat local interest, though perhaps it's also an example that may be educational elsewhere.
It's common around here to have long-time residents say that the winter weather is both warmer and more volatile than it used to be, and that this must be due to global warming. After hearing a particularly dramatic story of this ilk recently, I thought it would be interesting to look at the data.
I found data for the Cornell weather station here and took the average January low as my metric of winter conditions. The graph is above, with the blue line being the data, and the red line a centered moving average. I have made no corrections for heat island effects and the like - if anything the Cornell campus has grown over time which might have been expected to create a (probably very slight) warming trend.
You can see immediately what people are referring to - it was four or five degrees colder in the seventies and eighties than recently - certainly enough to notice. However, attribution of this local change to global warming is made problematic by the fact that it was considerably warmer than now back in the thirties and forties. The data as a whole do not show an upward trend.
Also, the degree of volatility is not obviously more pronounced than in the past. The climate here has always been very volatile year-to-year with swings of as much as fifteen degrees Fahrenheit not unknown.
Conclusion: there is multi-decadal noise in local (and no doubt regional) temperature signals that means a clear global warming signal cannot be extracted from them (yet, anyway). You have to look at larger scale averages to confidently see anthropogenic climate change.
And the corollary would be that you cannot be confident that the climate will warm in your particular location in the next decade or two - it probably will, but not necessarily. Don't stake your credibility on it.
I'm glad to see these kinds of admissions. Climate scientists have erred in staking all their credibility on the theory that it's going to get noticeably warmer everywhere on a short-term scale. This has caused a huge fuss about the single question of "warming" when the effects of waste, pollution, resource exhaustion, etc. are undeniable and frightening.
According to IPCC AR5 report the equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely in the range of 1.5 C to 4.5 C. The transient climate response is likely 1.0 C to 2.5 C in a scenario where the CO2 has doubled after an increase by 1% per year. In the last 50 years the CO2 content of the atmosphere has increase from 310 ppm to 400 ppm. Thus I guess it will take a while before we see the full effect of our CO2 emissions.
I'm not certain about this, but I'm pretty sure that the Cornell weather station moved at some point or points in that sequence. That might change the heat island and other effects, since I seem to remember that it used to be on top of a building. That may complicate the data.
Simon - I looked around for that possibility but couldn't find any documentation of it. It seems it's currently in a field at Game Farm Rd, which would be pretty much free of heat island issues.
Lars: Yes, so an interesting question is when will global warming have gone far enough to be clearly visible everywhere (or let's say in 99% of locations on the planet). I don't know the answer to that. A related question is what's the smallest scale of averaging now which will guarantee a positive trend everywhere.
which pretty much answers my second question above for the US at least. Most of the south east and quite a bit of the midwest has a negative trend over the last 100 years, so you'd need to average over almost the whole country to get a positive trend.
Also, this link shows a chart of Jan avg temperatures for the whole of NY state. There is no trend obvious to the naked eye (though possibly statistical analysis might reveal a small trend).
If you squint at the U.S. EPA's temperature trends map that Stuart Staniford provided a link to, it says the the temperature around Ithaca, NY, increased by 2° C over the past 100 years, yet the EarlyWarn graph contradicts that.
The article the map appears on says most of the warming is concentrated in higher average winter temperatures. Average summer temperatures haven't changed much over the 100 year time span.
That shows Jan as having a negligible but slightly negative trend. However, the other months vary - some months have a pronounced positive trend, and others have a flat or slight negative trend. So it may be that on average the climate has warmed, but the individual months are noisy enough that the trend has not been clear in every month.
I also understood that global warming was expected to impact winter and nighttime more than summer and daytime. However, in New York state as a whole, Jan temperatures have not increased.
In other news, I was having breakfast in a cafe in this morning where one of the regulars was regaling me with stories of his childhood where the snow drifts where regularly as high as telephone poles!
The last link to estimated monthly warming or cooling trends in Ithaca uses data only through 1994. However, it does show how noisy the raw data is at just one collection station, with very wide 95% confidence bands. At one collection station, the noise masks whatever warming "signal" might be embedded in the data.
Mark: That was my conclusion also.
Today we have to first look at parameters which include some global integration such as sea level rise, thereafter parameters with integration over continents such as glaciers and length of growing season and firstly thereafter average regional temperatures. I guess that local temperatures will at least not in my lifetime be a clearly visible sign of global warming everywhere on earth. The worst possible scenario from a reserve point of view, RCP 6.0, leads to a global heat-up of 3.0 C (with climate sensitivity 3.0) year 2100 which may not be enough to see the temperature effects on all locations.
(The scenario RCP 8.5 is not possible from a reserve point of view. For example I guess nobody believes that we can continue increase or oil production up to 400 bpd year 2100. However if the transient climate sensitivity will show to be 4.5 C the time scale will be totally different.
I'd be leary of looking at average minimums; as you've pointed out, based on global data that Hansen put together I think, while mean yearly temperatures are going up in most places on the planet, the distribution is also broadening, so minimum temperatures in any given month may not be changing much. Is there enough data to get average heating degree days for January over time for Ithaca? I bet that will show a decreasing trend.
Might the slowing Rossby waves and more frequent break-throughs of the polar vortex translate into colder average winter temperatures in Ithaca and similar places over the longer run?
Another possibility for the temperatures at Ithaca is that they're real and that they're a consequence of pollutants such as soot and sulphur dioxide. The general wind direction is generally from west to east. That's a wide industrial belt to the west of Ithaca, particularly during the period where the slope is obviously sloping downward. That the graph bottoms out in 1980 seems highly suggestive; perhaps industrial clean-up, heavy industry slowdown and finally global warming kicking in.
Still more hypotheses to throw around.
OK, I downloaded heating degree day data from NOAA for the "central lakes" region of New York, and totaled up the HDDs for each year from 1895 through 2012.
There's no significant trend. There is a large variation from year to year. (Standard deviation is about 440 HDD with mean of about 6800 HDD.) This reinforces Stuart's point; global warming trend can be hard to see in small-scale regional data.
Well, I'm going to be a critic here. The use of lowest temperature is not going to show what is most typical characteristic of winter temperature. And winter is longer than the month of January.
I'm also not too keen relying on moving averages for trending because they tend to produce artificial cyclic patterns from the randomness in the data as one could see by running them on random time series (Slutsky-Yule effect).
Thor, with all due respect, your trend analysis is incomplete because you did not include March. There are a lot of cold days in November and April too in that part of the world.
I cannot imagine any climatologist worth his salt would claim temperatures are going up everywhere. We are experiencing a noisy cycle that is trending up. "Noisy", "cycle" and "trending" should not be too hard to understand, but evidently they are.
I grew up in Upstate NY and currently live in Texas. Texas is counter-cyclical. Hot and dry in the La Nina phase, cool and wet in the El Nino phase. We almost burned down in 2011. We are currently stuck in the 20s at night with sleet. We have recently been colder than Nome. If this is an El Nino akin to '98 things will get interesting globally, but Texas should be relatively pleasant.
And, yes, the late 60s and early 70s were very snowy in NYS. My daughter at the University of Rochester has been disappointed: too little snow!
Regarding your question of when will climate change be obvious everywhere, there was some work done on this last year. See this article for more info.
Should a meta-analysis of 39 global computer models be considered a definitive scientific study?
I didn't say it was a definitive study, just that some work has been done on the question. If you want to assign a low rating to it, that's up to you.
SS - This is off thread from an old admirer of your enthralling posts @ TOD. This "early warning" is very much in your style. D. P.
Stuart, back in December you said that you would get back to blogging on a weekly schedule. Have you changed your mind?
Weirdly, it somewhat resembles the charts for this past winter, except that often this winter central Siberia was just as cold as the eastern part of the United States. Also this winter, the north Pacific and north Atlantic were considerably warmer than the continents.
Hmmm did you hang up your blogging hat?
I can kind of see how real life can get in the way.
I will say as far as one of the major themes of this blog, Peak Oil, is something I find far less worrisome than I did a decade ago.
There is always the pollyanna accusation, but Solar has the capacity to supply current needs. We can move it around.
But while some headway has been made on storage, and I expect to see more, this is as always the showstopper.
Still I think that most of the Peak Oil sites always glossed over our ability to distribute electricity. It makes something that has some inconveniences like solar PV a lot more useful.
As far as the happy motoring society, eh I'm not to attached to that. But if the United States wanted to replicate the society it had previous to WWII as regards personal mobility and living arrangements I think that is eminently doable with technology as it exists now and will in the short term.
I check in occasionally to Early Warning to see if you have started blogging again. Are you finished completely now? Realise in life that stuff happens. Good to know if you have hung up your hat permanently. Anyway. all the best with whatever you are doing now.
I look forward to your come back.
This is a plot of the average Dec - Feb temperatures from 1895 to 2015 and there is a clear increasing trend.

Journalist in Danger (JED) welcomes a recent decision by Katanga's broadcast regulator (CSAC/Katanga) to allow Manono Community Radio to restart its activities. Mr. Justin Mussa Fundi, head of the Tanganyika district's Communications Department, had illegally shut down the station for 20 days.
"Manono Community Radio was closed without following the appropriate procedure," reads CSAC's statement regarding the radio station's suspension.
This decision was made after JED wrote a letter on 13 January 2014 to the president of CSAC, calling on him to order the re-opening of the radio station based in Manono, a district approximately 600 km away from Lubumbashi, capital of the Katanga Province (Southeast DRC). The station was shut down in flagrant violation of DRC'S laws guaranteeing press freedom.
According to information obtained by JED, Manono Community Radio began to broadcast again on Tuesday 28 January 2014, immediately after having officially received CSAC/Katanga's decision.
Manono Community Radio had been prevented from broadcasting on 8 January 2014, by Mr. Justin Mussa Fundi, who accused this media outlet of calling upon teachers to participate in a general strike.

As the election looms for later this year, incidents in 2014 and in early 2015 involving the press raises serious questions on the genuineness of media freedom in Burma. The situation is alarming as the state seems to have heaped all the faults and fines on the media in the past year, which has seen a media worker being killed in October on the pretext of national security. International assistance has poured into the country to develop the media aimed at lifting and sustaining the state of media freedom. However, a viable press freedom environment seems unlikely to materialise in Burma before the end of this administration.

TV View: It was a game that needed some bite . . . and Suarez obliged
Only one topic up for discussion as Teethgate dominates the airwaves
Wed, Jun 25, 2014, 07:00
Mary Hannigan
Italy's Giorgio Chiellini shows his shoulder, claiming he was bitten by Uruguay's Luis Suarez. Photo: Tony Gentile/Reuters
Look, there'll be enough talk about Luis, so we'll focus on the football.
Kidding.
"Another one of those where were you when . . . ?" moments, to which the answer is, more often than not, "in front of the telly". By the time Gary Lineker popped up on our screens for the BBC's coverage of Greece v Ivory Coast, his mood was so sombre you sensed we wouldn't see Greece v Ivory Coast at all, that they'd analyse the bite until 11.10, and just let us know the result from Fortaleza before they signed off.
"There are no words," said Alan Shearer, which is never a good thing for a pundit to admit, Robbie Savage beside him busy howling "OMG!", while Danny Murphy offered a more restrained observation: "I think there's something not quite right with him – and I mean that in the nicest way." (He said that of Luis, by the way, not Robbie.)
And the afternoon had started so tamely too, the early stages of Italy v Uruguay and England v Costa Rica reminding us that football can, actually, be rubbish.
Jim Beglin
Oh cripes.
"I said the game needed some bite, but . . . ," Jim declared, having been awoken from his slumber, Luis walking around holding his teeth, like Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder had attacked them, one of the funnier moments in the history of the game.
"He's not helping himself, is he," asked Adrian Chiles over on ITV, and he wasn't wrong.
Funnier still, really, was the initial contrast in the moods in the RTÉ and ITV studios regarding Teethgate, RTÉ rolling about the place giggling, ITV putting it on a par with famine and war.
Ian Wright: "I fink he needs to see someone."
Lee Dixon: "He's seeing someone at Liverpool – obviously it hasn't worked."
Obviously. Glenn Hoddle, meanwhile, worried about the children, lest they take to the park and start gnawing on their pals' shoulders, instead of trying to re-create more positive World Cup moments. "You do that in the street somewhere, you're in prison – it's like being stung by a wasp," he said of the chomp, leaving wondering what kind of wasps he's met in his time.
Back on RTÉ and you wondered if they'd all been watching England on the webby player instead, "that's another match Suarez has under his belt to get his match fitness," said Giles. Hello? "He's very, very dangerous," said Liamo. Hello?
By now we needed Tommie Gorman to arrive and ask "but what about the children, lads?"
Finally. "Was it or was it not a bite," asked Billo.
'Elbow in face'
Billo: "Well if he did bite he deserved the elbow in the face, didn't he?"
Liamo: "Absolutely."
(An eye for an eye, a tooth for a, eh, tooth?)
Billo: "Will it have an impact on Real Madrid or Barcelona buying him?"
Gilesie: "They could do with a bit of bite up front."
All: ROFL.
Liamo: "I think it could be three bites and you're out for the season."
Eamon: "He felt he needed a tasty Italian."
Gilesie: "He likes Italian dishes . . . a bit of spaghetti!"
Billo: "He could get a two year ban."
Eamon: "You can be too precious about these things . . . you don't need to rush to judgment."
Soon after. You had to assume they'd been reminded of the children, because Teethgate was suddenly grave.
Eamon: "He shouldn't play again in this tournament."
Back of the net, like.

Green Building Solutions Awards 2018: The Schneider Electric Technopôle, built by GA, is the French winner of the «Smart Building» category
As part of the World Green Building Week, Construction21 revealed yesterday evening, on Thursday 20 September, the 7 French champions of the Green Building Solutions Awards 2018.
As part of the fight against climate change, the competition highlights the most sustainable and innovative building work in terms of environmental performance. The French winners will take part with champions from other countries, in the international final that will take place next 6 December, on the fringes of the Katowice COP24 (Poland).
Technopôle wins the award in the "Smart Building" category
The jury of experts, called on to select the best candidates, made a point of honour of identifying the smart features of the various buildings: management of the lighting, roller shutters and heaters, monitoring of consumption, mobile app dedicated to staff, etc.
Finally, it was the Grenoble Schneider Electric Technopôle — designed by the Arches5 Architectes group —, which was declared the winner of this "Smart" category thanks to its total management of energy devices, air comfort and optimum use of office space. This exemplary, so-called "Smart Grid ready" and already LEED Platinum accredited building, exploits the group's technologies — EcoStruxure for buildings and EcoStruxure Grid — to ensure that final consumption is below 45kWh per year and per m². This makes the Technopôle not simply performant, but a smart building capable of optimising its consumption as and when the data are collected.
A working relationship based on efficiency
It was as part of a call for tenders by Schneider Electric, one of the world's experts in energy management and automation, that GA Smart Building successfully responded to this development contract. The fruit of 14 months' building work with the assistance of FullBIM, the Technopôle aims to become the commercial showcase of Schneider Electric, a true "living-laboratory" for its 1,000 staff.
Kader Guettou
Managing Director, Enterprise Unit
It is with real pride that we congratulate Schneider Electric for obtaining the Green Building Award in the "Smart Building" category for its Technopôle that GA Smart Building had the pleasure of building.

There's a new 'War for the Planet of the Apes' trailer to enjoy
John Stewart	March 30, 2017
Slanted > Film > There's a new 'War for the Planet of the Apes' trailer to enjoy
FOX released another full-length trailer for "War for the Planet of the Apes" this morning. The trailer shows a few more clips from the highly-anticipated film, and featuring a mean looking Woody Harrelson. The studio released a previous trailer back in December, the film itself won't hit theaters until later this summer.
In the new installment, Caesar and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel. After the apes suffer incredible losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind. The studio teases the film stating, "As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet." Fans of the franchise can watch the trailer below, thanks to an early upload from FOX.
"War for the Planet of the Apes" was directed by Matt Reeves, and features Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Amiah Miller, Karin Konoval, Judy Greer and Terry Notary. If we ignore the Tim Burton film released in 2001, this rebooted-reboot of a franchise has been a big hit with fans. Rupert Wyatt's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" grossed over $481M in theaters back in 2011, that film featured James Franco, Andy Serkis and Freida Pinto. The studio followed-up that film with "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" in 2014, which was also directed by Matt Reeves, and featured Gary Oldman and Keri Russell. The sequel was an even bigger hit for FOX, grossing over $710M.
"War for the Planet of the Apes" is set to hit theaters on July 14, 2017. The film is opening just one-week after "Spider-Man: Homecoming," and one-week before "Dunkirk" and "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets". The summer box-office is packed this year, so prep accordingly.

Palestinian Student Politics Takes A Sharp Turn in Hamas's Favor
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine
Student politics in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Wednesday took a sharp turn in Hamas's favor when the Islamic-nationalist movement scored a landslide victory in Beir Zeit University (BU) student elections, defeating three student blocs affiliated with the PLO.
Beir Zeit University, located outside Ramallah, is seen as the most important university in the West Bank and student elections at the western-style college are generally seen as more or less reflecting public opinion currents in the occupied Palestinian territories.
According to election results announced by the BU administration, the Hamas-affiliated al-Wafaa (Loyalty) student Bloc won 3400 votes, or 26 seats out of the 51-seat general assembly.
The Fatah-affiliated bloc, called the Martyr Yasser Arafat Bloc, won 2545 votes, or 19 seats. Leftist student blocs, affiliated with the PFLP, DFLP, the People (Communist) party, as well as al-Mubadara (Initiative) , headed by Mustafa Bargouthi, won 842 votes or 6 seats.
The outcome of the elections is considered a sharp blow to Fatah, the mainstream faction of the PLO, headed by Mahmoud Abbas.
Normally, Fatah puts up a lot of efforts, using the carrot-and-stick approach, for the purpose of encouraging students to vote for the Shabiba bloc.
On Tuesday, pro-Hamas students performed unexpectedly well in the Polytechnic Institute's student elections, winning 15 seats of the 31 seats comprising the student general assembly. Fatah, which had been in control of the student council for many years, also won 15 seats while the remaining seat went to PFLP and its allies.
The impressive victory by Hamas at the BU, coupled with its earlier good performance at the Polytechnic College in Hebron, is significant especially in light of the ongoing witch-hunt campaign waged by both Israel and the PA against Palestinian Islamist students.
Muhammad Ahmed Ibrahim is a sophomore student specializing in physics at the BU Science Department.
He argued that Hamas would have scored even a greater victory "if things were normal" and "Israel and the PA security agencies didn't pursue us."
"A student would give his vote to Fatah or other PLO factions without having to worry about arbitrary arrest by Israel or the PA security apparatus. In fact, voters for the PLO receive many inducements, financial and otherwise.
"This is not the case with students who choose to vote for Hamas. They know that voting for Hamas, if discovered, could land them in an Israeli jails for many months or a few years." Hamas is considered by Israel as a terrorist organization.
I asked another student named Fatema, why she thought Hamas won student elections at a college long dominated by Fatah.
"There are many factors contributing to this victory by Hamas. First of all, this is the nature of student elections at Palestinian colleges and universities especially in the past 30 years where Hamas emerged as a predominant student bloc.
"Then we have other factors, including religiosity, disenchantment with the PA regime, disappointment over the failed peace process, as well as the failure or relative failure of the Fatah student bloc to meet students' aspirations and needs."
Khalid Amayreh is a veteran Palestinian journalist and current affairs commentator living in Occupied Palestine

Barbarians Season 3 Release Date, Trailer – Is it canceled?

Barbarians Season 3 Release Date, Trailer - Is it canceled
In 2020, the German Netflix Original series Barbarians or Barbaren, as it is known in Germany, surprised subscribers and soon became one of the year's most popular originals, but has it been renewed for Barbarians Season 3? We know it has been renewed for a 2nd season and returned to Netflix in October 2022, so here's all we know about Barbarians Season 3, including what to anticipate and some important dates.
Barbarians Season 3 will be a popular German Historical War Drama Television Series, which premiered with its 1st season on October 23, 2020. This show quickly gained popularity after only a few episodes were released, but what about Barbarians Season 3?
The fans are really thrilled about Barbarians Season 3, and they want to know when the 3rd season will be released. It is anticipated to be released sometime in the year 2023, but what exactly is the date?

Barbarians Season 3 Release Date
Rasklid
Jan Martin Scharf and Arne Nolting developed the German Netflix Original historical drama Barbarians, and Season 1 premiered on Netflix only to gain a huge fanbase. Barbarians has been the most popular German Netflix Original series in the period since its premiere and was the 7th most-watched non-English language title on Netflix. Barbarians also made every top ten ranking on Netflix in the world, so Netflix approved the 2nd season just a month after the series began.
Some European Netflix Twitter accounts, including France and Germany, announced the news of the 2nd season, and Daniel Donskoy, who plays Flavus in Barbarians, helped unveil the release date on Twitter by releasing the first official poster. Along with the Fall release date, we were given our first teaser trailer, and if you still have not watched it, you can do so below.
However, when it comes to the Barbarians Season 3 release date, there is still no word from the official sources. It looks like all we can do is wait for the Barbarians Season 3.
Barbarians Season 2 Recap
It's been 2 years since Netflix debuted the German historical drama series Barbarians, and if you haven't seen this incredible program yet, now is the time since the 2nd season is soon to be published, and no one loves feeling left out. So strap up and watch it on Netflix, as each of the 6 episodes is definitely worth your time. Leaving that aside, let's speak about what we watched in Season 2.
The series came to an end with some dramatic turns and twists of fate, as well as an emotional climax, and the huge fight in the Forest proved to be a confidence-boosting exercise for the Germans, and they are now all geared up for what the future holds now that Arminius has returned from the Roman Army.
He assists his people in mounting in order to unite the tribes together and battle in harmony, which has excellent results, and he also gets the girl, Thusnelda, which enrages her old boyfriend, Folkswin. As a result, the amicable trio's relationship becomes tense, but there's also Thusnelda's father, who is hell-bent on showing that trusting Arminius is a recipe for disaster for the Germans.
Berulf Buddy Y
Despite the fact that the war has been won, the 1st season leaves some unanswered concerns, which were addressed in the 2nd season. 2nd season began with the aftermath of the major woodland fight between the Germans and the Romans as everyone had been waiting for this moment, and when Arminius led the German tribal forces into combat, all hell broke loose. But it is the aftermath of the war that is most important as Folkswin had grudgingly accepted the marriage, but now that Arminius and Thusnelda are becoming too close, it doesn't appear like Folkswin is satisfied with it.
He may plot against his erstwhile closest friend and there's also Thusnelda's father, Segestes, who is the Germans' snake in the grass as he believes that Germans require someone to reign over them since they are incapable of doing so themselves. Other than internal skirmishes, we saw some confrontations with the Romans in this season, which have been nicknamed the "German wars for independence", and we can also witness the Romans utilizing more cruel methods to instill terror in the minds of the Germans.
Is Netflix Barbarians a true story?
Barbarians characters
It most emphatically is as the story of Barbarians is based on the true Battle of the Teutoburg Forest: this critical fight occurred under the cover of darkness, just like in the series when an alliance of Germanic tribes targeted the Roman legions who enslaved them.
During the battle, they were able to defeat three Roman legions, and on this historic occasion, there is even a well-known name. Arminius was the one who brought the Germanic tribes together and formed an alliance to defeat the Roman soldiers and was able to carry off this deceit because, although being born a prince of the Germanic Cherusci tribe, he was taken as a youngster by the Romans. We wonder what awaits us in Barbarians Season 3.

The Rise of New Alliance: Russia, Turkey and Iran
IndraStra Global Monday, April 02, 2018 Edit this post
By IndraStra Global News Team
Image Attribute: Putin, Rouhani, Erdoğan Hold Joint Presser After Talks on Syria in Sochi / © Sputnik/ Michael Metzel/POOL
On March 31, 2018, the Turkish Presidential Press Office said that the country will host a trilateral meeting on Syria, gathering leaders from Turkey, Russia, and Iran on April 4, 2018.
The meeting is going to be hosted by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on April 4, which will be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, according to a statement. During the meeting, the leaders will also exchange views on regional and international issues as well as bilateral relations.
The first of the trilateral summits was held last year in Russia's Black Sea city Sochi on November 22. In the second trilateral summit that will be held at the presidential complex in Ankara. On the agenda - the recent developments in Afrin following Turkey's operation, the latest situation of the de-escalation zones in Idlib, the political transition period in Syria and the incidents in Eastern Ghouta.
A day ahead of the summit, Putin and Erdogan are scheduled to meet in bilateral talks in the Turkish capital as part of the Turkish-Russian High-Level Cooperation Council. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Turkish counterpart Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu held a telephone conversation on March 30 to discuss the Putin-Erdogan meeting, the Russian foreign ministry said in an official statement.
Erupting in 2011, the armed conflict in Syria quickly turned into a full-fledged civil war, which so far has killed more than 330,000 people and displaced millions. The conflict also became a breeding ground for terrorism. The Islamic State once reportedly controlled more than 50 percent of Syrian territory.
As part of his visit, the Russian president will also attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in the southern province of Mersin on the Mediterranean coast on April 3. The Akkuyu NPP will be built by Russian State Nuclear Energy Agency Rosatom along with its Turkish partners, the Cengiz-Kolin-Kalyon (CKK) consortium. The plant will comprise of four units each with a capacity of 1,200 megawatts. The official launch ceremony took place in April 2015. Major construction was expected to begin in March 2018, and the first unit is expected to become operational in 2023.
Despite tensions mounted between Russia and Turkey, due to the Turkish downing of Russian Airplane on November 24 (2015), Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the decision to continue is purely a commercial one. Turkey's energy imports amount to roughly $55 billion annually and its energy demand is among the fastest-growing in Europe. Ankara aims for at least 10 percent of its power generation to come from nuclear energy in less than a decade to cut dependency on natural gas.
Besides that, Turkey also signed a contract with Russia to buy S-400 air defense systems, despite being non-interoperable with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), "because the U.S. declines to sell Turkey even pistols," as Erdoğan said. However, there have been reports that Trump may intervene to sell Patriot systems to Turkey in a bid to stave off the S-400 purchase.
Observers' Viewpoints
According to Dilip Hiro, an Indian author, journalist, and commentator who specializes on the politics of South Asia and the Middle East - "On the world stage, the triad of Moscow, Tehran, and Ankara has made its mark by acting as a prime mover to end Syria's long-running civil war. But their economic interests have been in play for more than two decades and geopolitical considerations have a longer history."
Russia, Turkey, and Iran — are working together to create "de-escalation zones" to reduce the fighting in Syria and bring all the sides of the conflict on a negotiation table for the sake of Syria's future. The cooperation comes despite their positions on opposing sides in the Syrian conflict —with Moscow siding with Syrian President Bashar Assad and Turkey supporting his foes since the start of the Syrian war seven years ago. Despite having differences, one should give credit for their collaboration in the "Astana Process", which seems to be a good example of pragmatic, rational and result-oriented mediation efforts for the future of Syria.
For Russia, Syria's geography matters. The naval installation in the port city of Tartus, first established in the Cold War, provides Russia's only access to the Mediterranean, crucial for both commercial and military purposes.
Iran's support for Syrian regime always included an array of financial aid, arms & weapons, intelligence inputs, and militia on the ground - at the same time, it has also criticized the cruelty of Assad's regime. More than that, it was Tehran that convinced Russia to enter Syrian conflict, despite their competition for European natural gas markets. On the other hand, Turkey supports for Assad's rebels is all about to build a new sphere of influence in the informal space of the former Ottoman caliphate.
In a simple nutshell statement, Syria as a country seems to be an intricate puzzle, one that is hard to view through the prism of American & European sensibilities.

Gran Turismo 7 Hits Metacritic 2.0 User Score as Backlash Over MTX and Always Online Complaints Escalate
Ule Lopez • Mar 21, 2022 08:27 AM EDT
Gran Turismo 7, one of the highly anticipated PlayStation games of the year, has found itself on extreme fire following the release of the game. The game's latest updates have become quite intrusive for some users to the point where they are review-bombing the game through Metacritic's User Reviews function to make their voices heard.
The major issue revolves around the game's Microtransaction system. Not helping things is the game's latest updates which, as we discussed in a previous article, have adjusted the Cr. rewards for certain circuits. Thus, Polyphony's answer to player complaints was to make the game even more grindy.
Related StoryNathan Birch
PlayStation VR2 Full 35+ Game Launch Lineup Confirmed, Including 13 Newly-Revealed Titles
Because of this, the game currently sits at an all-time low score of 2.0 in User Reviews (score may increase or decrease after this article's publishing) according to Metacritic's metrics. This data was compiled from over 5,500 reviews, the majority of which are negative (with over 3,000 reviews on this field).
To quote one of the users that joined in on the review bombing of Gran Turismo 7, the issues the users have been surrounding the game's aggressive microtransaction push. As the user states:
Believe it or not, Polyphony Digital has actually responded to the backlash surrounding Gran Turismo 7's microtransactions with GT7 producer Kazunori Yamauchi explaining the following in a blog post:
[...]The pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it's important for it to be linked with real-world prices. I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again
The post ends by promising users that the game will continue to be updated and future plans for additional content, additional race events, and additional features that are going to address these issues will be discussed. Unfortunately for Polyphony, the gaming audience definitely isn't going to wait as shown above. It might be better to fix the game's more intrusive aspects before the little goodwill the players have toward this game burns out.
