Q: AppRegistryNotReady when adding new app to django project I am using django version 1.8.5
I created an apps.py for my app and I added 'contact.apps.ContactConfig' to my INSTALLED_APPS but I am still getting a AppRegistryNotReady.
Here is the link to my project if I did not provide enough information:
https://github.com/liondancer/django-cherngloong/tree/master/server/contact
From my understanding, I need an apps.py in order to notify Django of my apps existence
Project structure:
/cherngloong

    /contact
      __init__.py
      app.py

cherngloong/server/contact/apps.py
from django.apps import AppConfig

class ContactConfig(AppConfig):
    name = "contact"
    verbose_name = "Contact"

/cherngloong/server/cherngloong/settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',

    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'webpack_loader',

)

I tried simply putting 'contact' in my INSTALLED_APPS but I get the same error. However, if I comment out 'contact' my server runs

Comics: Steve Shuster
by jewishfilmfests · Published April 29, 2018 · Updated April 26, 2018
Steve Shuster was "the very definition of a comic's comic" (Brent Butt). TJFF honours the brilliance of the late Steve Shuster with a screening of this rare comedy special produced in 1994. Appearing in the early days of the Canadian stand-up scene of the 1970s, Shuster was greatly admired by his peers. "While other standups were struggling with making their acts as autobiographical as possible, Shuster was a staunch absurdist with an incredible ability to mimic and skewer pop culture." (Mark Breslin) This comic sensibility is on display in this collection of stand-up, sketches and songs; even his father, famous funnyman Frank Shuster, is in a comedy bit. Comics: Steve Shuster shown courtesy of CBC.

Q: Different speed on Internet connection by switching NICs. Can someone make sense of this? I solved my Internet speed problem, but I'm still puzzled. I can't understand what happened.
My scenario: a small intranet is connected to Internet through a Linux gateway that connects to a Cable Modem (Motorola SBV5121), my provider gives me static IP and the nominal speed is 3Mbps/512Kbps.
The Linux gateway is an old Centos 5.10, with iptables and Dhcp server, with two NICs:
eth0 (Intranet) # 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]
eth1 (Internet) # Sundance Technology Inc / IC Plus Corp IC Plus IP100A Integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC + PHY

[INTERNET]---[Motorola CableModem]----[eth1 LINUX-GW eth0]-----[LAN]---[desktop machines]

All pretty standard, and it was working for a long time; but lately I was experiencing low speed, especially when downloading. The usual tests (eg http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ ) reported (consistenly) very low speeds (about 200Kpbs) when downloading from USA (I'm in South America); the speed was decent (though never reaching my 3Mbps limit) when downloading from my country: 1Mbps to 1.5 Mbps . The upload speed was right, near the 512Kbps limit. I had no problems with pings, no lost packets, both NIC reported a 100Mbps full-duplex connection. The tests were done from a desktop Windows machine, inside the LAN, but the behaviour was consistent with what I got when downloading from inside the Linux GW. Disabling iptables gave no difference.
I was pretty sure that it was a routing or shaping problem on my provider. On calling, they asked me to test the speed connecting a plain single Windows computer to the Cable Modem. I was extremely skeptical that it would make a difference.
[INTERNET]---[Motorola CableModem]----[Windows desktop machine]

To my astonishment it certainly did: the speed was right (3Mbps/512Kbps, whatever target).
I was very puzzled, I double checked everything, didn't find anything. The traceroute were the same. As a last resort, I tried switching the NICs in the GW. I didn't change the cables, nor the configuration, I did the simplest thing: I changed the MAC in the "ifcfg-ethX" configuration files, so that eth1 keeps connected to Internet, but the NICs are switched:
eth0 (Intranet) # Sundance Technology Inc / IC Plus Corp IC Plus IP100A Integrated 10/100 Ethernet MAC + PHY
eth1 (Internet) # 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]

[INTERNET]---[Motorola CableModem]----[eth1 LINUX-GW eth0]-----[LAN]---[desktop machines]

And now it works perfectly! How can this be?
Notice that it's not simply that the "Sundance" NIC has some problem, as in the current configuration, when I do the tests,  from a LAN machine, I'm still going through the two cards as before (only that in different order). Furthermore, when I transfer inside the LAN (desktop <-> GW) it works at a good Ethernet speed.
Has someone a plausible explanation, or experienced some similar bahaviour?

A: The only explanation I can think of is the cable connecting the gateway to the modem is going bad.
Perhaps the baseband chip (the one actually doing the line encoding/decoding) is going bad, or is not that good from the start, so that the increase in line noise (due to degraded cable) confuses it significantly.
Try checking the error rate using ethtool; compare the results to the other NIC's. It might help shed some light.

A: One plausible explanation is a duplex negotiation failure between the sundance card and your DSL modem.
10/100Mbit ethernet was notorious for bad duplex negotiation.  Many people recommended hard-coding the  speed and duplex on both ends.  I wasn't a big fan of this, but it was not unreasonable.
It has become less of a problem over the years.  Gigabit ethernet auto-negotiation is reliable - in part, because there is no such thing as half-duplex gigabit.  I imagine that the 10/100 autonegotiation has gotten smarter too with newer chipsets.

Omani Sultan's first official visit to Qatar highlights growing ties

The visit will help lay the groundwork for further joint economic and strategic agreements between the two countries.
Bilateral relations between Oman and Qatar are one of the most stable and respectful within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Oman's Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said paid a visit to Doha last month, where he met with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. This underscored the longstanding ties between these two Gulf Arab countries.
When Oman's head of state was in Qatar, the two countries signed agreements regarding taxation, ports, tourism, defence, labour, and investment. With Oman facing grave economic challenges amid the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic and a fall in oil prices, this two-day visit, and the agreements which came out of it, will help the Sultanate's debt-burdened economy.
Sultan Haitham's brief visit to Doha was illustrative of the importance that Oman places on Qatar as a fellow GCC state and vice versa. "I think the way that he was received, with the Qatari Air Force flying side by side to the Sultan's aircraft, was spectacular and showed how important Oman is for the Qataris," said Dr Andreas Krieg, an assistant professor at the Defence Studies Department of King's College London, in an interview with TRT World.
The Qatari cabinet hailed the Omani Sultan's visit to Doha. They stated it "established a new stage in relations between the two countries and opened up wider horizons for the good of their two brotherly peoples in a way that enhances joint Gulf action and contributes to maintaining the security and stability of the region and the welfare of its peoples."
On the tails of the GCC crisis
The signing of these agreements between Oman and Qatar needs to be viewed within the context of the Gulf crisis that lasted from mid-2017 until January of this year. When Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) blockaded Qatar, the Omanis refused to join this group of Arab countries. It signalled that Oman wasn't willing to coerce Doha into submitting to the worldviews and security policies of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.
With Oman maintaining positive relations with Doha throughout that Arabian feud, the Qataris were able to take advantage of their access to Omani ports and other infrastructure. This ultimately helped Doha weather the siege.
Put simply, amid an unprecedented crisis, the Omanis were there for Qatar. Very few people in Doha will forget that chapter in Omani-Qatari relations.
"During the crisis, Oman was of particular importance because it allowed the Qataris to bypass transshipment in Jebel Ali in the UAE," explained Dr. Krieg. "Their investment in Duqm and other infrastructure, both maritime and in the hinterland, became very strategically important for the Qataris. I think that is something that is going to continue rather than just being an issue of the Gulf crisis."
"With the Gulf crisis over, Qatar will continue to focus on Oman to find alternative routes to the Indian Ocean and diversify supply routes, not just in terms of anticipation of a next crisis, but also to make sure that they're not over reliant on one port of transshipment, which was Jebel Ali before 2017."
Economic and strategic returns
Qatar is not the only GCC member which Muscat is looking to for economic help. The Qataris are making investments in Oman similar to those which Saudi Arabia is making in the Sultanate. Like the Saudis, the Qataris are not making charitable donations; they are seeking profitable investments. But it's more than just money-making opportunities that motivates Doha to invest in Oman; Qataris want strategic returns as well.
"It's about Qatar's logistical independence and the resilience of its supply chains," Dr. Krieg told TRT World. "For Qatar, it's all about supply chains. The relationship with Oman is about building sustainable supply chains. The investment agreements with Oman are all about helping out the Omanis on one hand but also creating win-win situations."
"The Qataris will not only make money from these agreements but will also create more sustainable and resilient supply chains…It's not like the Qataris are doing the Omanis any favours. It's also not like the Omanis are doing the Qataris any favours."
Ultimately, Qatar is a supportive and reliable partner for Oman. Although under the leadership of Sultan Haitham, the Omanis have significantly improved their relations with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, there is no denying that some tensions have strained Muscat's relationships with its immediate GCC neighbors over the years, especially during the Sultan Qaboos era.
Different perspectives on the war in Yemen, GCC-Iran relations, and other issues have fueled degrees of friction in Oman's relationships with Riyadh and Abu Dhabi.
"Qatar...is a lot more pragmatic and strategic [than some other GCC member-states]," said Dr. Krieg. "You can rely on the Qataris without necessarily having to fear that they might turn around the next day and move against you."
Looking ahead, these six agreements have much potential to help both the Omanis and Qataris in terms of achieving their goals. While Muscat and Doha conduct different types of foreign policies - their approaches to regional crises such as Syria differ greatly, for example - the odds are good that Sultan Haitham's first official visit to Qatar will help lay the groundwork for more win-win scenarios down the line.

Biden's dithering on Syria weakens the US' position in the Middle East


Last May, we at the Daily Bruin had the fight of our lives passing a referendum to keep Student Media alive and running. Our staff spent countless – literally, it's impossible to count – hours campaigning, flyering and stressing the value our paper presents to this campus.
A big part of that was cementing our role as a "community paper." We're a paper written by UCLA students, for the UCLA community. There's no other daily paper out there that focuses its coverage on student government, administration, campus events and the issues that directly affect Bruins.
During the campaign, I found out that I would helm the paper's Opinion section this year. I was very surprised, and to be quite honest a little intimidated by the responsibility. The Opinion page's duty is to provide fresh perspectives, analysis and interpretation of the events and issues affecting Bruins, and thus holds an integral role in our vision of a community paper. We strive to present the full range of opinions held by Bruins, and it works best when the whole community is engaged in the conversation.
But this is my fourth year working for the Bruin, and my third as an editor. And if there's one thing I've learned from all that time spent in a windowless office in Kerckhoff 118, it's that one of the hardest parts of journalism is being able to discern what actually matters to your readers. We're going to miss some things, and we're not always going to get everything right.
That's where you come in. If you have thoughts about something happening at UCLA, if you have comments about the Bruin's coverage, if you feel we've missed something important or even if you just want to say what's on your mind, please – speak up.
We accept submissions and letters to the editor from any UCLA community member. You can find our newly revised and updated submission guidelines at dailybruin.com/submit, and our community guide at dailybruin.com/contact. You can email us at [email protected] You can even stop by our office in Kerckhoff 118.
Our referendum ultimately passed by a wide margin, which means that we'll be able to keep telling the UCLA story five days a week, just as we have for almost 100 years. Thank you for that.

Au-delà des images...: Holidays are really behind us... Fini le temps des fêtes!
Holidays are really behind us... Fini le temps des fêtes!
2011 is already 10 days old! I removed all outside decorations on the 2nd, the weather was just perfect. For some reason, I left my Christmas tree until yesterday! This is a very new attitude for me. I guess I am getting closer to a real reconciliation with the Holidays! It's a big step, the first one was participating in Christmas all year long blog hop, all through2010! I must confess I have never been a Christmas Holiday person, more the kind to hibernate on the 24 and wake up on the 2nd! All good things have an end, and if crafting is a therapy for me, this card I started before Christmas is very representative of how it helps me letting my feelings inspire me. With Tilda and Edwin, I offered my Christmas wishes HERE; I saluted 2010 and the in between week HERE; and, finally welcomed 2011 with Tilda taking along the New Year and my dancing little couple rejoycing HERE! Closing celebrations is in the order of things, and I asked Wilma to help me carry the message. I decorated the back of my card, bearing the word "FIN" (the end) like the last screen of a movie. Since all the other panels were inside the house, I decided this one would show the same window from the outside. ..
I stamped and embossed in black this wonderful background from IMpression Obsession on watercolor paper. I colored with distress inks in Antique linen, pumice stone, black soot, and Stampin up Going grey and Sahara Sand. I sprayed with a bit of perfect pearl and water to give a glitter look. The window stamp is the same, from Stampin Up set A ma fenêtre; stamped, embossed and colored with acrylic paint. I used a lamp sticker to give the impression of a real window and decorated with glitter. Wilma and the post are from Magolia stamps, (I can't see them at Magnolia-licious, however, Diana will be pleased to inform you as to their availability); both colored with copics, and acrylic glitter paint for the post. Thelittle light garland is an embossing folder from Cuttlebug, on which I used Stickles in green, red and silver for the lights. The snow is white cardstock sprayed with glimmer mist in Pear and Spanish moss. The snow on the post and window sill is flower soft.
Thank you so much for dropping by, and letting me know what you think. Your kind messages have the same effect as sunshine in my day!
2011 a déjà 10 jours! Cette fin de semaine, j'ai rangé toutes les décorations de Noël, mon salon a retrouvé son air habituel! Il n'y a maintenant presque plus de traces des fêtes. Ce qui est particulier cette année, c'est que j'ai conservé mon sapin beaucoup plus longtemps, faut croire que je me réconcilie tranquillement avec les fêtes. C'est probablement une conséquence du défi de Magnolia-licious Chrismas All year long,puisque chaque mois je me remettais doucement dans l'esprit des fêtes histoire de créer une carte! Comme toute bonne chose a une fin, je tenais à souligner que vraiment le temps des fêtes est derrière nous. Je vous ai offert mes voeux avec celui-ci; j'ai pris le temps de saluer 2010 avec celui-ci; et d'annoncer l'arrivée de 2011 avec celui-ci. Alors, que dire de décorer l'endos de la carte ...comme dans un film, avec le mot "fin"? Voici donc ma version.
J'ai étampé et embossé à la poudre noire l'étampe de fonds de Impression Obsession sur un papier aquarelle; j'ai utilisé les encres distress suivantes: Antique linen, Pumice stone et Black soot ainsi que celles de Stampin Up: sable du sahara et grisonnant. Le tout vaporisé avec un peu d'eau mêlée à du perfect pearl. La fenêtre, toujours la même étampe, du jeu de SU A ma fenêtre, embossée en noir et peinte à l'acrylique. Pour donner l'illusion de vie derrière la fenêtre, j'ai collé un collant lampadaire, ajouté des brillants et des Stickles. L'affiche et Wilma sont de Magnolia (je ne les vois pas présentement chez Magnolialicious mais Diana peut certainement vous renseigner quant à la disponibilité future). J,ai colorié au Copic, et pour l'affiche, j'ai ajouté de l'acrylique scintillant et embossé le mot "fin" à la poudre noire. Un carton blanc vaporisé de Glimmer mist, en blanc perle et Spanish moss, déchiré et enduit de Stickles a servi à créer la neige. J'ai ajouté aux pattes de Wilma un peu de flower soft blanc, ainsi que sur le bord de la fenêtre et au dessus de l'affiche.
Créer est une thérapie bienfaisante pour moi, et cette carte en est un exemple parfait. Le temps des fêtes en 4 tableaux dans lesquels j'ai laissé parler mes sentiments. J,espère que cela vous a plu.
Merci de me visiter, et de me laisser un mot. Vous lire est un rayon de soleil dans ma journée.
tu as toujours de bonnes et belles idées!
Wow Danielle, j'adore ta carte. Le fini fait avec l'étampe de fonds est génial, Super!!

Ik begrijp je helemaal...het is voor het eerst dat de Kerstboom nog steeds versierd staat in de huiskamer...nostalgie is het denk ik...dat krijg je als je wat ouder word!LOL!
I love the little house you made Danielle! Wilma looks adorable. The snow is amazing. Really stunning card. I love how you think outside the box!

I totally love this little work of art. You did an awesome job with the distress inks! The flower soft is the perfect touch and, of course, Wilma is adorable.
This is an awesome project, especially since you didn't know what to craft. You know, sometime some of the best things come from spontaneity and not really having a plan. Thats pure creativeness. Such a cool share!
Je suis presque triste de voir le mot fin sur cette création qui a su me tenir en haleine pendant plusieurs semaines. Ton imagination est débordante, c'est merveilleux pour nous les bloggeuses. Bravo ce fut un délice de suivre cette histoire en 4 tableaux.

One in every six people in the U.S. is Hispanic/Latino and as a group they live longer than non-Hispanic whites — 81.4 years vs. 78.8 years. Yet despite their strong representation and relative longevity, little is understood about this group's health conditions and behaviors, according to a release from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of the Yeshiva University in the Bronx, NY.
Now a landmark study done in the Bronx, San Diego, Chicago, and Miami has released initial findings that show significant variations in disease prevalence and health behaviors among groups with different backgrounds. You can read the report here: Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.
The findings reported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the NIH, are the result of the national study that began in 2008. The data is based on interviews conducted with 16,415 study participants at one of the four U.S. field centers.
The release quotes principal investigator Robert Kaplan Ph.D. as saying, "While many trends are consistent across all four field sites, there are clear differences between participants in each city – and more importantly, between each Hispanic group."
"Teasing out these variations can help clinicians, public health advocates and members of the community focus their energies in the right places," explained Dr. Kaplan. "Ultimately, we hope to uncover the key factors that can lead to improved health for all Hispanics."
The study investigators and NIH are partnering with the National Alliance for Hispanic Health and other national and local organizations to increase the reach of the study. Today, the Alliance released a booklet showing the data reported by all four field centers. The 40-page bilingual report is titled About Our Health: Results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (SOL).

Yunho wore a dark grey suit and is looking at woman who seems upset. Changmin is wearing blue pants with a light grey jacket and seems to be in a deep conversation with the old man sitting at the desk before him. His role in this photoshoot seems to be similar to Changmin's role in his first drama "Paradise Ranch." Changmin played a conglomerate's son in the drama.
TVXQ are currently promoting their title track "Before U Go" from their repackaged album.

"Miss Ripley" is based off of Shin JungAh, who made news by forging her education history, and is about a woman (Jang Miri) with greedy desires who falls into a pit of lies, and the conflict and resolution that occurs between the two men (Yukata, Jang Myunghoon) who fall in love with her.
Everyone is always debating about celebrities' attitudes during filming or interviews. Some celebrities show attitudes of lacking sincerity because of their busy schedule and stress, however, there are other celebrities that are professional, responsible, and modest. What are the differences in celebrities attitude in work?
JYJ's Park Yoochun (25) with his humble and honest attitude also became a hot topic during filming for last year's KBS drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Even though he is one of the most popular idols, but during filming he has an appropriate mindset of a newcomer, receiving favorable praises from workers. Out of all the lead actors, Park Yoochun was the only one that declined having a exclusive chair prepared for him at the filming site. When this information spread, netizens responded with favorable comments and showed enthusiasm for his acting.
Announced on the 22th. The unit JYJ of Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu (ex-member of Tohoshinki) will hold a charity event on June 7 in Yokohama Arena (Kanagawa), in order to support the victims of the Eastern Japan Great Earthquake.

'Hunger Games-style' fight for flights for Hongkongers stranded by coronavirus travel ban to get home from Britain
By jessie tan	Hot News, World Airplane, China, Coronavirus, Covid-19, Hong Kong, News, World 0 Comments
Travellers walk through Terminal 2 at Heathrow Airport, amid the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak on Feb 14, 2021.
Hundreds of seats on two special flights intended to bring stranded Hongkongers home from Britain after the end of a coronavirus travel ban were snapped up in two hours on Thursday, in a process marred by a crashed booking site, phone calls that went unanswered, and what some called a "Hunger Games -style dogfight" for tickets.
Some people the Post spoke to described trying simultaneously on as many as six computers, waiting more than an hour at the end of a service helpline, and texting each other in a WhatsApp group over their shared misery and desperation.
On March 29, Hong Kong authorities announced the flight ban, imposed in December after the emergence of a Covid-19 mutant strain in Britain, would be lifted and Hongkongers could come home on two designated Cathay Pacific flights on April 21 and 28. About 600 tickets were offered for sale, but not all seats on both flights were made available.
Within minutes of the opening of bookings at 9am (British time), however, the local carrier's site crashed, with many reporting they could not go through with the process. An update at around 11am on the website read, "currently, all seats are sold out for these two flights".
"Cathay Pacific sincerely apologises to our customers who were unable to access the booking system this afternoon to book seats on our special flights [CX2252] from the UK back home to Hong Kong due to the high volume of traffic," an airline spokesman said.
District councillor Anthony Sheik Bux, who has been helping many residents on their return journey, said Hongkongers deserved better. "It's like the Hunger Games , with fellow residents fighting each other just to come home."
A Hongkonger in his 30s, surnamed Lam, who had been staying with his family in southern England since December, said he had used multiple devices – three computers and two mobile phones – but still failed to get a ticket.
He also tried Cathay Pacific's support app but only received a message two hours later, which told him all tickets were sold out and to check the Hong Kong government's website and the news for "future special flights".
"It's disappointing and chaotic," the IT worker said. "Why only allow two flights? It's not helping Hongkongers to come back."
An economy class ticket of the single-trip special flight cost more than £900 (S$1,656). Travellers are required to spend 21 days in quarantine at the Rambler Garden Hotel in Tsing Yi, and take a Covid-19 test on the 7th, 12th and 19th day of their stay.
"At least HK$10,000 (S$1,722) for a flight, there's not much difference from robbing us to subsidise Cathay," Lam said.
David Choi, a 25-year-old worker in the construction industry who went to Britain to visit family over Christmas, said the special flight was a lifeline to him, and his failure to get a ticket meant his job now hung in the balance.
"My company told me to get back to Hong Kong by April 28," Choi said. "They've had two weeks to prepare, and still can't get a website running properly.
"The government has repatriated stranded Hongkongers in Wuhan and Japan on chartered flights, why can't it do the same for us?"
Lisa Poon, an agent at local company Major Travel, was one of the lucky few to get a seat. After failing on the website, she called Cathay's phone line 10 times, and on the first nine times was told to hang up because the system was overloaded.
At the last attempt she was put on hold and doggedly endured an hour-long wait, before buying four tickets for her clients.
"One of the clients already bought a ticket to Bangkok and planned on staying there for 21 days before entering Hong Kong as a transit route," she said.
Many Hongkongers have spoken out about money, jobs and even health problems during their prolonged stay in Britain. Bux, who was himself stranded at one time and returned recently via Bangkok, said the special flights were both badly executed and ill-conceived.
"It's pitting one Hongkonger against another, there is no priority for the old, the sick and those running short on medicine," Bux said.
He urged the government to open more flights as soon as possible. "The planes are ready to go and the health control measures are there," he said. "Let's bring them home."

Q: Mongodb performance issue with simple search query This is a sample structure of a collection i am having in mongodb, likewise some 60+ lakh similar records are there in one collection. We moved to mongodb seeing the fast accessing performance,but now its bit hard to say evean simple searching is taking huge time. I have given index for the search params. For name searching (search params MNG_FIRST_NAME, MNG_MIDDLE_NAME, MNG_LAST_NAME, MNG_ALIASIST.AKAFIRST_NAME, MNG_ALIASIST.AKALAST_NAME).
Please consider is the method i'm following the correct way with mongodb.

Please help with some solution to increase the performance.

A: Change the line
Query.ElemMatch("MNG_ALIASIST", Query.Or(Query.Matches("AKAFIRST_NAME",
MNG_REMTNAME.ToUpper())))

for this one
Query.ElemMatch("MNG_ALIASIST", Query.EQ("AKAFIRST_NAME", MNG_REMTNAME.ToUpper()))

Also have in mind that searching in MongoDB Arrays is very expensive unless you have the proper Indexes. So make sure that you have an index with at least the field MNG_ALIASIST.
Consider creating a Multikey index for this field http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/index-multikey/

Monchique Islet () is a small uninhabited islet off the coast of the island of Flores, west of the village of Fajã Grande, in the western part of the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. It is the westernmost point of Portugal and, if considered part of Europe (although it sits on the North American Plate), is Europe's westernmost point as well.

Approachable only by boat, the  deep bay provides opportunities for scuba diving during the day in the summer. The islet and the waters around it are protected for their rich biodiversity. Ninety-six species of flora and fauna have been identified congregating in the waters near the islet, including brown algae, limpets, barnacles, and Mediterranean rainbow wrasse.

History
Historically, the islet functioned as an astronomical or celestial navigational guide and reference mark for mariners, who calibrated their navigational equipment by referencing the islet on long Atlantic crossings.  Its unique geological formation also attracted visitors traveling between Europe and America, intersecting here on their way to the ports of Lajes or Santa Cruz on Flores Island. The steep rock slopes of the islet's shoreline served as shelter from strong gales.

The islet gave its name to the defunct monthly newspaper O Monchique, the last regularly-published newspaper on Flores.

Geography

The islet is located more than  north-northwest of the island of Flores, in a bay between Ponta de Fenais (Point Fanaes or Fanais Port) and Fajã Grande. The islet is located on the North American Plate between the two westernmost Azorean islands of Flores and Corvo.

The islet is a solid monolith of black basaltic rock consisting of a vertical wall formation, remnants of a coastal volcanic cone eroded by ocean forces. It extends steeply to a height of  above sea level. It was formed from irregular lava flows that produced many submarine cavities along the islet's relief, with sand and boulders accumulating around the shoreline over time. The islet is an elevated area that includes two rock outcroppings above the water's surface.

A deep channel separates Monchique Islet from Flores, with only a rock shoal called the Baixa Raza separating it from the Flores shoreline. Since the channel is between  and  deep, ships are able to anchor in the bay, aiding visits to the area and providing shelter from storms. The deep channel is considered safe for navigation, though ships must navigate with care to avoid surface rocks. The Baixa Raza rock formation extends over a length of  to the west of Ponta de Fenais.

Biome
The maximum depth of water in the coastal channel is , with water temperatures varying between . The islet is the centre of a region of great biodiversity, with 96 identified species, with a Margalef index of 11.0 biodiversity.  The flora along its flanks are dominated by an iridescent brown algae (Dictyota dichotoma), while numerous fauna species including limpets (Patella ulyssiponensis and Patella aspera), barnacles (Megabalanus azoricus and Megabalanus tintinnabulum), and Mediterranean rainbow wrasse (Coris julis) are found in the inner straits.

Measures to conserve the islet and its waters fall under the Plano do Ordenamento da Orla Costeira (POOC) Flores (English: Organizing the Flores Coastline Plan), which identifies the islet as part of an area of conservation and preservation for ecological and tourism reasons. The islet itself is identified as "vulnerable" and designated areas have been marked for terrestrial and marine species protection, limiting human use and access to the islet and surrounding waters.

Recreation
Visits to Monchique Islet are considered ideal in late spring or early summer (June and July) when the weather is good and vegetation is green and flowers bloom. The airport nearest the islet is Flores Airport in Santa Cruz das Flores. Locally, the islet is only accessible by boat.

The water around the coast is suitable for scuba diving as the underwater visibility is good in the warm, clear, and clean waters. There is an advisory which states diving in these waters should be done only during daylight hours as a precautionary measure to avoid any surprises from sea currents. Kayakers can travel to Monchique Islet from Flores.

Frederic Cristià II de Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg (en alemany  Friedrich Christian II von Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg) va néixer a Augustenburg el 28 de setembre de 1765 i va morir a la mateixa ciutat el 14 de juny de 1814. Era el fill gran del duc Frederic Cristià I (1721-1794) i de la seva cosina la princesa Carlota de Holstein-Plön (1744-1770).

Matrimoni i fills
El 27 de maig de 1786 es va casar al Palau de Christiansborg, a Copenhaguen, amb Lluïsa Augusta de Dinamarca (1771-1843) princesa de la casa reial danesa d'Oldenburg, com ell mateix. Oficialment, Lluïsa Augusta era filla del rei Cristià VII de Dinamarca (1749-1808) i de Carolina Matilde de Hannover (1751-1775), però el pare biològic seria Johann Friedrich Struensee, metge de la Cort i persona molt influent en els afers d'estat, tenint en compte els problemes de salut del Rei. Amb aquest casament concertat s'assegurava que si alguns dels seus descendents havia d'ascendir al tron seria realment de sang reial danesa, unint les dues branques de la casa reial, la d'Oldenburg i la d'Augustenborg, i evitant a la vegada l'enllaç matrimonial de la princesa amb la família reial sueca. El matrimoni va tenir tres fills:

 Carolina Amàlia (1796-1881), casada el 1815 amb el futur rei Cristià VIII de Dinamarca.
 Cristià August (1798-1869), duc de Holstein-Sondenburg-Augustenburg, casat el 1820 amb Lluïsa Sofia Danneskjold-Samsøe (1797-1867).
 Federic Emili August, príncep de Noer (1800-1865), casat el 1829 amb Enriqueta Danneskjold-Samsøe (1806-1858).

Niezależne Zrzeszenie Studentów Szkoły Głównej Handlowej w Warszawie (NZS SGH) – jedna z Organizacji Uczelnianych NZS w Polsce. Członkowie NZS SGH aktywnie uczestniczą w życiu społecznym, kulturalnym i naukowym uczelni poprzez realizację wielu projektów i szeroko pojętą działalność studencką.

Historia
Pierwsze struktury NZS powstały na SGPiS jesienią 1980 roku. NZS SGPiS wydawało w tym okresie pismo "Bakcyl – Gazeta niezależnych o wyraźnym profilu społeczno-politycznym". Wiosną 1981 w wyborach przedstawicieli studentów do Senatu Akademickiego członkowie NZS uzyskali wszystkie z 12 dostępnych dla studentów mandatów.

16 listopada 1981 NZS proklamował w SGPiS strajk okupacyjny trwający do 8 grudnia 1981 i mający na celu zmianę dotychczasowego ideowego obrazu uczelni, w którym w różnej formie udział wzięło przeszło tysiąc studentów. W czasie strajku wydawany był "Informator Uczelnianego Komitetu Strajkowego". Ukazało się 21 numerów pisma.

Jednym z 11 członków Ogólnopolskiego Komitetu Założycielskiego NZS był w 1980 r. Krzysztof Osiński z organizacji uczelnianej NZS w SGPiS.

W latach 1982–1989 środowiska NZS wraz z uczelnianą "Solidarnością" organizował obozy letnie mające na celu przeciwdziałanie dezintegracji środowiska uczelnianej opozycji, ukształtowanego w czasie strajku w SGPiS jesienią 1981 roku, po likwidacji NZS i "Solidarności".

W 1985/86 doszło do ponownego reaktywowania NZS na bazie Klubu Francuskiego (zwanego później SYNDROMem) i Głosu Wolnego SGPISu (GWS). W październiku ukazał się ponownie pismo "Bakcyl". 11 listopada 1986 r. został zatrzymany lider NZS i Klubu Francuskiego Daniel Alain Korona. W 1987/88 r. na czele NZS stanęli nowi działacze, z tym że ton na uczelni nadawał jeszcze KF "Syndrom". Zmieniło się to w październiku 1988 r., kiedy to rektor zezwolił na jawną działalność NZS, a KF SYNDROM zakończył działalność na uczelni.

Na wiosnę 1990 r. z inicjatywy organizacji uczelnianych "Solidarności" i NZS powołano w SGPiS Społeczny Komitet Wyborczy, mający wystawić kandydata w wyborach rektorskich i jako program wyborczy przygotować projekt reformy uczelni. W wyniku wyborów w listopadzie 1990 r. rektorem został kandydat komitetu – prof. Aleksander Müller, a prorektorami zaproponowani przez niego: doc. Wojciech Roszkowski – prorektor ds. nauki i reformy szkoły, doc. Ryszard Gajęcki – prorektor ds. współpracy z zagranicą i Marek Rocki – prorektor ds. studenckich.

Władze NZS SGH
Władzami NZS SGH są:
 Walne Zebranie Członków,
 Zarząd Organizacji Uczelnianej,
 Komisja Rewizyjna.

Kadencja Zarządu Organizacji Uczelnianej i Komisji Rewizyjnej trwa 1 rok i upływa z dniem 1 lipca. Zarząd Organizacji Uczelnianej składa się minimum z 3, a Komisja Rewizyjna z 3 członków wybieranych w głosowaniu tajnym na Walnym Zebraniu Członków.

Zarząd Organizacji Uczelnianej jest organem wykonawczym. Posiedzenia ZOU odbywają się regularnie, średnio raz na tydzień, natomiast uchwały zapadają bezwzględną większością głosów przy obecności więcej niż połowy członków. Do kompetencji ZOU należą m.in.: działanie w imieniu NZS, reprezentowanie członków wobec władz uczelni, zarządzanie majątkiem, czuwanie nad realizacją zadań statutowych.

Komisja Rewizyjna jest organem kontrolnym. Uchwały KR zapadają zwykłą większością głosów w obecności wszystkich członków. Do kompetencji KR należy m.in. kontrola realizacji zadań statutowych oraz finansowych.

Obowiązki przewodniczącego tej organizacji uczelnianej NZS pełnili m.in. Andrzej Halicki, Tomasz Siemoniak i Adam Bielan.

Organizowane projekty

Kulturalne

Ogólnopolski Konkurs Fotografii Studenckiej i Pstrykaliada
OKFS, czyli Ogólnopolski Konkurs Fotografii Studenckiej to konkurs skierowany do wszystkich studentów uczelni państwowych i prywatnych interesujących się fotografią, którzy nie ukończyli 28. roku życia. Jest on projektem organizowanym przez NZS Szkoły Głównej Handlowej wraz z kilkunastoma innymi oddziałami NZS-u w całej Polsce. Misją Konkursu jest umożliwianie studentom rozwoju w dziedzinie fotografii i odkrywanie talentów. Towarzyszy mu również "Pstrykaliada", czyli wystawy nadesłanych prac, cykle warsztatów, projekcji i wykładów prowadzonych przez znakomitych fotografów. Jury wybiera najlepsze zdjęcia Konkursu, a autorzy najciekawszych prac zostają nagrodzeni wartościowymi nagrodami, np. aparatami i akcesoriami fotograficznymi bądź rocznymi kursami fotografii. Ogłoszenie wyników i rozdanie nagród odbywa się podczas uroczystej Gali Finałowej w Warszawie. W trakcie Gali nagradzani są laureaci, prezentowane są zwycięskie prace, a także przedstawiani są nasi patroni i partnerzy. W wielu miastach odbywają się również Gale Regionalne, podczas których wyróżnia się najlepsze prace spośród uczestników ze wszystkich uczelni z danego regionu.

DKF Overground
Dyskusyjny Klub Filmowy "Overground" to kino studenckie, które powstało w 1994 roku. W 1997 roku przystąpiło do Polskiej Federacji Dyskusyjnych Klubów Filmowych. Głównym repertuarem kina są filmy młodych twórców, etiudy studenckie oraz amatorskie filmy krótkometrażowe. W kinie rozpoczęło się również Międzynarodowe Forum Niezależnych Filmów Fabularnych Oskariada. Na pokazach często pojawiają się znani goście, z którymi przeprowadzana jest dyskusja, w której każdy z widzów może wziąć udział. Do tej pory sławami, które zaszczyciły DKF Overground swoją obecnością, byli m.in.: Marek Kondrat, Jowita Budnik, Arkadiusz Janiczek, Daniel Strehlau, Jacek Poniedziałek, Bartłomiej Topa, Andrzej Wajda, Kazimierz Kutz, Małgorzata Kożuchowska, Marek Koterski i Krzysztof Zanussi.

DKF Overground działa we współpracy z Polskim Instytutem Sztuki Filmowej, miesięcznikiem "Kino".

Praca w Kulturze
"Praca w kulturze" to corocznie organizowana przez NZS SGH konferencja poświęcona promowaniu idei pracy zawodowej w instytucjach szeroko rozumianej kultury. Poprzez liczne debaty, spotkania ze znanymi osobami ze świata kultury, jak również warsztaty i szkolenia, uczestnicy konferencji zaznajamiani są ze specyfiką pracy w tym obszarze oraz poznają ścieżki kariery alternatywne dla pracy w międzynarodowych korporacjach finansowych i dające możliwość realizacji swoich zainteresowań."Praca w kulturze" jest jednym z najmłodszych projektów NZS SGH. Za narodziny projektu uznaje się rok akademicki 2011/2012. Początkowo "Praca w kulturze" stanowiła część innego projektu NZS SGH – "Bardzo kulturalnej komisji". Po raz pierwszy została samodzielnie zorganizowana w roku akademickim 2012/2013.

Dotychczas gośćmi konferencji byli m.in. Maria Seweryn, Wojciech Malajkat, Piotr Stelmach, Kuba Strzyczkowski, Michał Olszański, Tomasz Żąda, Anna Gornostaj, Gołda Tencer i Klaudia Madejska.

Bardzo Kulturalna Komisja
Bardzo Kulturalna Komisja to projekt przybliżający kulturę każdemu studentowi Szkoły Głównej Handlowej. Dzięki współpracy z licznymi warszawskimi teatrami daje studentom możliwość wygrania darmowych wejściówek na spektakle czy też skorzystania ze specjalnych zniżek.
Oprócz działalności kulturalnej BKK zajmuje się również integracją członków NZS. Organizuje wyjścia do teatrów, kina, galerii, muzeów. Wspólnie bawi się podczas Gier Miejskich, jazdy na łyżwach czy np. zwiedzania zajezdni metra. Każdy znajdzie tu coś dla siebie, aby dobrze spędzić czas w miłym towarzystwie.

Gastromania

Gastromania to projekt kulinarny skierowany głównie do studentów Szkoły Głównej Handlowej, ale nie tylko. Jest to najmłodszy z obecnie organizowanych projektów NZS SGH. Do uczestnictwa w konkursie zgłaszają się pary uczestników, które następnie są dopasowywane ze sobą. Zadaniem konkursowym jest organizacja wykwintnej kolacji dla siebie i bezpośrednich rywali. Następnie zawodnicy mogą ocenić siebie nawzajem i na podstawie ocen oraz zdjęć dań wyłaniani są zwycięzcy. Uczestnicy projektu mogą podzielić się ze światem swoimi umiejętnościami kulinarnymi i uzyskać cenne nagrody. Pary finałowe w latach akademickich 2017/2018 i 2018/2019 poza nagrodami rzeczowymi otrzymały również możliwość uczestnictwa w dedykowanym kursie gotowania u jednego z najlepszych kucharzy na świecie, Kurta Schellera.

Sekcja Edukacyjno-Biznesowa

Drogowskazy Kariery
Drogowskazy Kariery to ogólnopolski program edukacyjny, którego misją jest pomoc studentom w kształtowaniu własnej przyszłości zawodowej i odnalezieniu najlepszej ścieżki rozwoju, a także integracja środowisk politycznych, akademickich i biznesowychh. Projekt realizowany jest poprzez organizację różnorodnych wydarzeń, takich jak szkolenia (prezentacje branżowe, warsztaty, case studies), debaty i panele dyskusyjne oraz targi praktyk i pracy. W myśl hasła programu: "Ściśle dopasowani do studenta", tematyka przewodnia spotkań wybierana jest corocznie na podstawie Ogólnopolskiej Ankiety Branżowej.

Pierwsza edycja programu odbyła się w roku akademickim 2007/2008. Jego organizacją od początku zajmuje się Centrum Krajowe działające w NZS Szkoły Głównej Handlowej we współpracy z oddziałami regionalnymi z NZS uczelni wyższych w całej Polsce. Podczas dotychczasowych edycji programu w debatach udział wzięli m.in. dr Irena Eris, Dariusz Stolarczyk czy Rafał Brzoska.

W roku akademickim 2013/2014 Drogowskazy Kariery zostały poszerzone o konkurs na najlepszy studencki start-up "Odkrycie Rynku", mający na celu propagowanie przedsiębiorczości wśród studentów i absolwentów oraz promowanie najbardziej innowacyjnych inicjatyw biznesowych stworzonych przez młodych ludzi.

Maturalnie z NZS

Projekt powstał w zeszłym roku i już zdążył zdobyć popularność. Naszym celem jest udzielenie pomocy maturzystom w trudnym dla nich roku pełnym przygotowań. Chcemy otworzyć środowisko akademickie na młodszych kolegów i koleżanki. Przecież możemy podzielić się z nimi swoimi doświadczeniami i pomóc w rozwianiu wszelkich wątpliwości związanych ze studiami. Projekt uzyskał dwa honorowe patronaty – JM Rektora SGH oraz Prezydenta Miasta St. Warszawy. Kontaktowaliśmy się z wieloma Warszawskimi szkołami średnimi. Pojawiały się w nich też nasze plakaty. Organizowane przez nas wydarzenia dotyczą zarówno powtórek przedmiotowych jak i rozwijania umiejętności miękkich. Są darmowe, każdy jest mile widziany. W zeszłym roku zorganizowaliśmy 4 wydarzenia stacjonarne. W tym roku przez epidemie koronawirusa przenieśliśmy projekt do Internetu, organizując 6 transmisji online, które zostały odtworzone ponad 24 tys. razy! Natomiast ogólne wydarzenie dotarło do ponad 100 tys. osób.

Exchange for Experience
Exchange for Experience to organizowana od 2000 roku 5-dniowa międzynarodowa konferencja. dla przedstawicieli organizacji studenckich, której misją jest integracja kulturalna środowisk studenckich przy jednoczesnym budowaniu międzynarodowego forum wymiany wiedzy. Konferencja składa się z części merytorycznej (cykl warsztatów, szkoleń, wykładów, paneli dyskusyjnych i case studies) oraz wycieczki. Oprócz umożliwienia uczestnikom rozwoju zawodowego i pogłębiania wiedzy celem konferencji jest promocja Polski na arenie międzynarodowej.

Road to Excellence
Road to Excellence to najnowszy projekt NZS SGH (pierwsza edycja przypada na rok akademicki 2012/2013), którego misją jest popularyzowanie wykorzystywania narzędzi analitycznych do rozwiązywania problemów biznesowych i podejmowania decyzji. Skierowany jest do studentów polskich uczelni ekonomicznych, którzy są zainteresowani analityką biznesową i pragną rozwijać się w tym kierunku.

Debaty Gospodarcze
Debaty Gospodarcze to projekt skierowany do wszystkich zainteresowanych gospodarką i ekonomią. Debaty poruszają aktualne problemy społeczno-gospodarcze z ekspertami w danej dziedzinie.

Sekcja Charytatywna

Wampiriada
Wampiriada w SGH jest zbiórką krwi organizowaną we współpracy z Regionalnym Centrum Krwiodawstwa i Krwiolecznictwa i odbywa się rokrocznie w dwóch edycjach – jesiennej i wiosennej. W trakcie trwania Wampiriady studenci mogą oddawać krew w krwiobusie po uprzednim przebadaniu jej. Akcji w SGH towarzyszą konkursy wiedzy o krwiodawstwie. Celem projektu jest zebranie jak największej ilości krwi oraz długofalowa zmiana w świadomości studentów i społeczeństwa, aby oddawanie krwi nie budziło nieuzasadnionego strachu, ale było czymś powszechnym i naturalnym.

Tydzień Uśmiechu
Tydzień Uśmiechu to cykliczny projekt NZS SGH organizowany około Świąt Bożego Narodzenia. Jest jedną z największych akcji charytatywnych na uczelni.
Każdego roku prowadzona jest aukcja i kiermasz podarunków otrzymanych od przedsiębiorstw oraz organizacji. Studenci za połowę ceny rynkowej mogą zakupić między innymi: bilety do kin, teatrów, karnety na paintball, bowling, książki, płyty, kursy językowe, tańca czy też nauki jazdy, a tym samym sprawić mikołajkowy prezent sobie lub bliskim.

Na aukcji można wylicytować podarunki otrzymane od polityków, sportowców, artystów. Całkowity dochód z akcji jest przeznaczany na wybrany dom dziecka. Oprócz pomocy pieniężnej dzieci z domu dziecka zapraszane są do Warszawy, gdzie spędzają weekend pełen atrakcji i mogą poczuć się wyjątkowo.

Mottem organizowanej akcji charytatywnej jest wyrównywanie szans i niesienie uśmiechu dzieciom z domów dziecka oraz propagowanie idei dobroczynności w środowisku studenckim. Projekt nie tylko odpowiada na bieżące potrzeby domów dziecka. Idąc krok dalej, dostarcza wychowankom niematerialnych wrażeń podczas pełnej atrakcji wycieczki.

Animal Day
Animal Day to stosunkowo nowy projekt charytatywny NZS SGH (pierwsza edycja odbyła się w roku akademickim 2012/2013). Organizowany jest na rzecz zwierząt z podwarszawskich schronisk. Co roku w ramach akcji pod opiekę brane jest jedno z nich. Podczas Animal Day organizowana jest loteria fantowa dla studentów. Losy mogą oni kupić bądź otrzymać w zamian za karmy, koce, zabawki oraz wszystko inne, co może przydać się w schronisku. Akcję wspomagają także partnerzy, co zapoczątkował Getin Noble Bank organizując zbiórki w swoich siedzibach, udowadniając tym samym, że współpraca studentów i ich przyszłych pracodawców może zostać przeniesiona na inny poziom.
Celem projektu jest także szerzenie empatii wobec zwierząt oraz zmiana podejścia młodych ludzi do kwestii adopcji. W dniu finału akcji organizowane są warsztaty dla studentów zwracające uwagę na miejsce zwierząt w życiu człowieka oraz kampania promująca adopcję. Jest to póki co jedyna taka inicjatywa na SGH.

WOŚP

I Finał na SGH zorganizowano w 2018 roku, w tym roku była III edycja.  Podczas przygotowań zarówno szukamy wolontariuszy, którzy chcieliby kwestować podczas Finału, a także przygotowujemy atrakcje. Przez pierwsze dwa lata współpracowaliśmy ze sztabem z Targówka, który umożliwiał nam rejestrację wolontariuszy i służył wsparciem, w tym roku podjęliśmy kontakt z jednym z liceów na Mokotowie. Aby zostać wolontariuszem zgłosić się może każdy, jednak głównie koordynowaliśmy rejestrację studentów warszawskich uczelni. Zawsze organizujemy dodatkowe atrakcje, jeszcze w tygodniu przed samym finałem. Nieodłącznym wydarzeniem jest koncert, wcześniej kapeli studenckich a w tym roku mieliśmy zaszczyt gościć Waldemara Malickiego. Na wszystkie organizowane przez nas atrakcje obowiązuje darmowy wstęp, jednak prosimy o wrzucenie czegoś do puszki. W zeszłym roku, naszą sztandarową atrakcją było zorganizowanie wybiegu dla alpak w ramach współpracy z warszawskimi hodowcami. Ten pomysł okazał się wielkim sukcesem, w następnych latach zamierzamy kontynuować tą atrakcję. Na finale odbywały się różne pokazy: taneczne, magików, szkoły cyrkowej. Wydarzenia przyciągnęły nie tylko studentów, ale także wiele rodzin z dziećmi. Podczas pierwszej edycji zebrano prawie 20 tys. a w dwa lata udało się podwoić kwotę, ponieważ w tym roku były to ponad 40 tys. a zasięg wydarzenia na FB to prawie 30 tys. osób.

Zaczarowana Zbiórka

Od wielu lat w ramach innego projektu: "Tydzień Uśmiechu" była organizowana zbiórka zabawek, które później przekazywano do warszawskich domów dziecka. Rzeczy przekazywali nie tylko studenci, ale również cała społeczność Warszawy. Akcja stała się tak duża, że postanowiono o utworzeniu oddzielnego projektu. Zbiórka trwała 4 dni, podczas której zbierano słodycze, artykuły papiernicze oraz środki higieny, które później trafiły do Domu Dziecka nr 1 w Warszawie. Zwieńczeniem projektu było zorganizowanie balu Andrzejkowego dla 35 dzieci w ramach współpracy z dwoma warszawskimi wypożyczalniami kostiumów.

Sekcja Sportowa

Warszawska Akademicka Liga Paintballowa
Warszawska Akademicka Liga Paintballowa to projekt sportowy, który składa się z serii spotkań rozgrywanych wiosną (marzec/kwiecień), w których uczestniczą pięcioosobowe drużyny rywalizujące między sobą na największej hali paintballowej w Polsce, Labsektor. Na każdym spotkaniu realizowane są różne scenariusze gry. Dla najlepszych zespołów przewidziane są nagrody. Podstawowym celem projektu jest rozpowszechnienie paintballu w środowisku akademickim, jako alternatywnej formy spędzania wolnego czasu. Z założenia WALP ma dostarczać maksymalnej ilości rozrywki oraz pozytywnych emocji wszystkim osobom uczestniczącym w Lidze, a także sprzyjać integracji oraz tworzeniu więzi międzyludzkich.

Warszawska Akademicka Liga Kartingowa
Warszawska Akademicka Liga Kartingowa to projekt sportowy mający na celu popularyzację kartingu oraz integrujący środowisko studenckie. Liga składa się z serii spotkań odbywających się wiosną na jednym z warszawskich torów gokartowych. Podczas każdego z nich rozegranych jest kilka wyścigów. Początkowo uczestnicy wykonują jazdę próbną, podczas której zapoznają się z torem, a następnie rywalizują między sobą o punkty kwalifikacyjne. Najlepsi zawodnicy awansują do finału, w trakcie którego walczą o miejsce na podium. Organizatorzy Ligi przewidują dla nich atrakcyjne nagrody.

text:
The Battle of Fort Pitt (in Saskatchewan) was part of a Cree uprising coinciding with the Métis revolt that started the North-West Rebellion in 1885. Cree warriors began attacking Canadian settlements on April 2. On April 15, they captured Fort Pitt from a detachment of North-West Mounted Police.

Background
In the Canadian North-West, a period of escalating unrest immediately preceded the rebellion as Ottawa refused to negotiate with its disaffected citizens. While the Métis under Louis Riel declared a provisional government and mobilized their forces, Cree chief Big Bear was not planning any militarization or violence toward the Canadian settlers or government. Rather, he had tried to unify the Cree into a political confederacy powerful enough to oppose the marginalization of native people in Canadian society and renegotiate unjust land treaties imposed on Saskatchewan natives in the 1860s.

This nominally peaceful disposition was shattered in late March by news of the Métis victory over government forces at Duck Lake. Support for Riel was strong among native peoples. On April 2, Big Bear's warriors attacked the town of Frog Lake, killing nine civilians. Big Bear, against his wishes, was drawn into the rebellion.

Similar attacks continued, with Cree raiding parties pillaging the towns of Lac La Biche Saddle Lake, Beaverhill Lake, Bear Hills, Lac St. Anne and Green Lake. These events prompted the mobilization of an Alberta field force under Thomas Bland Strange. The Cree would later defeat the Albertans at the Battle of Frenchman's Butte.

Battle
On April 15, 200 Cree warriors descended on Fort Pitt. They intercepted a police scouting party, killing a constable, wounding another, and captured a third. Surrounded and outnumbered, garrison commander Francis Dickens (son of famed novelist Charles Dickens) capitulated and agreed to negotiate with the attackers. Big Bear released the remaining police officers but kept the townspeople as hostages and destroyed the fort. Six days later, Inspector Dickens and his men reached safety at Battleford.

Legacy
In the spring of 2008, Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Christine Tell proclaimed in Duck lake, that "the 125th commemoration, in 2010, of the 1885 Northwest Resistance is an excellent opportunity to tell the story of the prairie Métis and First Nations peoples' struggle with Government forces and how it has shaped Canada today."
Fort Pitt, the scene of the Battle of Fort Pitt, is a Provincial Park and National Historic site where a National Historic Sites and Monuments plaque designates where Treaty six was signed.

US says ready to talk Mideast peace; Abbas calls for conference
UNITED NATIONS: The United States declared at the United Nations on Tuesday it was "ready to talk" with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who rejected US-led Middle East peace efforts as "impossible" after Washington's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
During a rare UN Security Council address, Abbas instead called for an international conference to be held by mid-2018 to kick-start the stalled peace process with Israel and create a "multilateral mechanism" to oversee it. He left the chamber before US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke.
Palestinians view the Trump administration's intentions on Middle East peace with deep scepticism after Trump reversed decades of US policy and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and initiated the move of the US embassy there from Tel Aviv.
"Our negotiators are sitting right behind me, ready to talk. But we will not chase after you. The choice, Mr. President, is yours," said Haley, referring to Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, and US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt.
Kushner and Greenblatt are working on a new peace plan and met with the 15 Security Council ambassadors behind closed doors after the public meeting on Tuesday. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said last week the plan was "fairly well advanced."
There has been little detail on the plan so far.
White House spokesman Josh Raffel said a peace plan would be presented "when it is done and the time is right." But following Trump's decision, the Palestinians no longer view the United States as a neutral negotiator.
"We met with the President of the United States, Donald Trump, four times in 2017, and we have expressed our absolute readiness to reach a historic peace agreement," Abbas said. "Yet this administration has not clarified its position. Is it for the two-state solution, or for one-state?"
Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its capital. The Palestinians want the eastern part of the city as the capital of a future independent state of their own that would include the West Bank and Gaza.
Jerusalem is home to sites holy to Muslims, Jews and Christians.
The Trump administration has given qualified support to the two-state solution, saying it would back it if the parties agreed to it.
Abbas, who shunned a visit by US Vice President Mike Pence to the region last month, said the conference should include the Palestinians, Israel, the five permanent UN Security Council members — the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France — the European Union and the United Nations.
French UN Ambassador Francois Delattre said Paris was open to studying Abbas' suggestions. Deputy British UN Ambassador Jonathan Allen described US leadership on the issue as "indispensable."
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said Abbas was part of the problem, not the solution, and that the "only way to move forward is direct negotiations" between Israel and the Palestinians.
Russian UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said the so-called Quartet - made up of the United Nations, the United States, Russia and the EU - and the League of Arab States could play a role in kick-starting the stalled peace process.
