![]() From this point of view, we can detect and analyse modes of circulation and connection, of identification and appropriation, of reinterpretation and even of detachment from political, media and scientific resources and expertise, and can come to terms with a transnational dimension which may be more or less confirmed. It is with this in mind that the papers gathered here aim to analyse the forms, the degrees and the implications of whatever the Black Lives Matter movement has sent out into transnational circulation from the US to the rest of the world, and back again. But such definitions are less well-adapted to the more fluid types of transnationalization which have emerged in recent years.ĥThis observation can open the way to an understanding of the implications of the transnationalization (Siméant 2010) of Black Lives Matter for pre-existing local movements, notably as a consequence of the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. ![]() ![]() They are based on a number of elements, including the nature of collective demands and protests beyond the national borders, the strength of the more or less formal connections between activists which shape the development of the movement, the consistency of the transnational social space in which it evolves, and the collective identity of the persons who claim to be close to the movement whatever their national affiliation (Sapiro et al. First formulated to analyse both the counter-summits and the alter-globalist movements of the 1990s and 2000s (Della Porta & Tarrow 2005), these definitions prove of little use when it comes to analysing the Black Lives Matter movement. A first analysis reveals several elements which characterize Black Lives Matter as a transnational movement: the spread of slogans originating in the US, and linked to BLM, to numerous other countries when there have been simultaneous demonstrations the transnational aspirations of the movement manifested by the support of causes, and meetings with activists, beyond national borders the transnational circulation of performative repertoire of action, such as taking the knee or adopting slogans (‘I can’t breathe’ ‘Black Lives Matter’) the enlistment of non-governmental actors combating racism at the international level.ĤYet such a characterization of Black Lives Matter prompts us to reconsider the classic definitions of transnational movements. ![]() Thus in spite of the diversity of realities covered by the expression, Black Lives Matter can initially be perceived as a platform for shared political demands, reaching out beyond national frontiers. In the US and in numerous other countries across the world, demonstrations of support for Black Lives Matter brought together hundreds of thousands of people – numbers all the more impressive since this was in the context of a global pandemic (Kennedy‑MacFoy & Zarkov 2020 Silverstein 2021). ‘Black Lives Matter’ thus unites a complex of realities with both a North American and an international dimension.ģUnder the presidency of Donald Trump (2017-2021), however, in an environment undoubtedly hostile to anti-racist movements, protests linked to Black Lives Matter acquired a new momentum as a consequence of the murder of George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis on. Finally, the expression embraces the whole range of organizations which lent their support to movements of protest against racism in the 2010s, some fifty of which, all based in the US, have since 2015 been grouped together in the Movement for Black ( ) 1. ‘Black Lives Matter’ also denotes a specific political organization created in 2013 ( ), which supports and initiates projects for racial justice, with the help of its branches in the US and overseas and of kindred organizations. It is first a rallying cry, deployed particularly in street demonstrations and on social media, which voices an antiracial political ideal aiming to assert the value of black lives, to express solidarity with people of African descent, and to condemn the racism to which they are subjected. In January 2017, it (.)ĢThe expression ‘Black Lives Matter’ has several dimensions.

Garasi of the Florida Lakes Symphony Orchestra will open the programs with “Silent Night” to set the mood with little angels and lights accompanying Aleksandra Vargas in song. This article was first published on the author's blog, Weekly Word.On December 21 & 22, conductor Michael J. Jeff Fountain, Director of the Schuman Centre for European Studies. Yet we persist in that prayer for Israel and Palestine, and for Ukraine and Russia, this Advent. Tragically they will remain absent until there is a changed mentality. ‘Peace on earth and goodwill towards all men’ seem a long way removed from the land where the angels first sang those words. To believe that the more we behaved like sheep then the less like wolves they would behave was simply the road to oblivion. Western naivety has allowed many terrorist proxies to operate within the EU, claimed one panel member. ![]() The original 700,000 Palestinian refugees have multiplied into 5.9 million descendents, all of whom remain in refugee status as no Arab nation will offer them civil rights or work permits, perpetuating the volatile situation. The Palestinian Authority talked of a ‘morning of victory, joy and pride, a story of heroism making our heads touch the clouds.’ School textbooks, funded by the UN Relief and Works Agency responsible for Palestinian relief work, were displayed which glorified Dalal Mughrabi, a kidnapper and suicide bomber who killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children, in 1978, and who was still being celebrated as a martyr with dozens of schools bearing her name. Analyses of Palestinian media revealed 94% of the Gaza population supported the terrorist attack. This attack had not just happened in a vacuum. No Arab nation will offer 5.9 million Palestinians civil rights or work permits, perpetuating the volatile situation Without a changed mentality, not only in the Middle East, but also in the West, another October 7 was inevitable, we were warned. The complexities and deep-rootedness of the current conflict quickly became apparent as various contributors explained underlying factors often glossed over in the popular media. In a seminar following on from the breakfast itself, panel members asked how to stop the radicalisation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. But it was the beginning – of the church, and of the global mission movement. Jesus’ death seemed to be the end for the disciples. Revenge and conflict, he urged, can be turned into forgiveness and reconciliation. Joseph was sold as a slave, yet that led to a new beginning for himself, his own people and also for Egypt. While we could often only see an ending, God can create a new beginning. The Bible gave many examples of ‘endings’ that became new beginnings, he explained. He wanted to talk about endings and beginnings, he began, in that order. It was a pleasant coincidence to discover his name on the programme. Just last month I had met Mr Heger in Timisoara and asked to interview him for Saturday’s Schuman Talk. No stranger to challenging tasks, Mr Eduard Heger, the former prime minister of Slovakia, had himself stepped into government leadership after a turbulent history of corruption and misrule by his predecessors. Now the keynote speaker had the difficult task of following this dramatic presentation. He texted to call the army but only twelve hours later could rescue the babies. Seven members of his defence squad, his friends, were killed in a few minutes. Escaping to his house, he saw his neighbours dead on the ground, their now-orphaned seven-month-old twins crying inside the house. At 6.30am on October 7, he and his fellow kibbutzniks found themselves ambushed by a gang of terrorists. ![]() Knesset member Sharren Haskel led out in prayer for peace and for the release of the hostages, adding a warning for the politicians, civil servants, diplomats, lobbyists, activists and church leaders gathered in the European Parliament building, that wherever Jews had been persecuted, Christians had been the next target.Ī brother of a hostage still held by Hamas described the attack on his kibbutz where he had grown up, had been married and till now had raised his small children. ![]() We call for a comprehensive ceasefire in the whole land.’ There can be no peace and security without justice and equal rights for all. ‘We affirm that every human being is created in the image of God and is worthy of living in dignity and justice. ‘We affirm that every human being is created in the image of God and is worthy of living in dignity and justice’, said Jack Sara ‘We lament the death of all people, Palestinians and Israelis’, explained Dr Sara, president of the Bethlehem Bible College. ![]() Everyone wants to embark on a magnificent adventure amid the dunes because of the beauty that binds the earth to the sky in this specific area.

First off, the Lut Desert, an internationally known classic hot desert terrain, protects one of the hottest regions on earth. This Iran desert was included on the list for two different reasons. Kavir-e Lut is the only Iranian desert that has been included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The wind has carved a series of parallel ridges and furrows out of the center area, while salt flats cover a low plateau in the eastern section. The desert, which lies in the eastern portion of Iran, is roughly 160 km (100 miles) broad and encompasses an area of 51,800 km2 it extends for 320 km (200 miles) from northwest to southeast (20,000 mile2).Ī total of two distinct portions make up this incredible desert.

Shute, The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus : an ancient Egyptian text (BM press 1987).Ī. Most scholars believe this refers to year 11 of the Theban ruler Ahmose, which would add to the evidence that Ahmose did not campaign against the Hyksos rulers until the middle or later parts of his reign. The late Second Intermediate Period context suggests this may refer to conflict between the Egyptians and the Hyksos before the beginning of the New Kingdom. The other side of the papyrus mentions 'year 11' without a king's name, but with a reference to the capture of the city of Heliopolis. The papyrus is extremely important as a historical document, since the scribe, Ahmose, dated it in year 33 of Apophis, the penultimate king of the Hyksos Fifteenth Dynasty. The text includes eighty-four problems: tables of divisions, multiplications, and handling of fractions geometry, including volumes and areas and miscellaneous problems. The papyrus is probably a mathematics textbook, used by scribes (the principal literate section of the populace) to learn to solve particular mathematical problems by writing down appropriate examples. Smith also acquired a surgical papyrus of about the same date as the Rhind Papyrus, suggesting that these two documents could have come from a cache of early New Kingdom manuscripts. Fragments which partly fill this gap were identified in 1922, in the collection of the New York Historical Society, which had acquired them from Edwin Smith. The two sections in the British Museum were linked by a now missing section about 18 cm long the original may have been cut in half by modern robbers to increase its sale value. Budge's original introduction to the facsimile of the papyrus indicates that these fragments were found in a chamber of a ruined building near the Ramesseum. The best-known and longest is the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, acquired by the Scottish lawyer A.H. Several documents have survived that yield some insights into the ancient Egyptians' approach to mathematics.

That are 6 system versions difference and that's a lot. ![]() With the release of Affinity v2, we do have a huge jump of minimum system requirement from OS X 10.9 to macOS 10.15. Not so long ago even OS X 10.8 was still supported by Affinity. That are altogether 9 (nine!) supported different macOS versions from Affinity apps, including around 7 operating systems that Apple didn't support anymore. From customer perspective, we had Affinity v1 supporting macOS 12 Monterey all the way down to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The more recent the minimum requirements are, the longer the major version can last without needing to further drop support for the older macOS versions later on, so even supporting 10.15 seems reasonably generous at this point. There is a limit to how far they can reasonably go, and a major version release is a good opportunity to prune the need to maintain extra code to support older versions. It also increases the testing effort and the need to keep the older versions available (which is risky to them as well with the lack of security updates) in order to provide support and handle bugs and the like. To support newer versions of macOS sometimes developers need to switch to newer APIs which don't exist on the older versions, because the older APIs don't work on the newer macOS. Serif is already supporting one version older than Apple is, which imposes limits on what they as developers can do as newer APIs become available and older ones are deprecated by Apple. ![]() ![]() Using them on the open internet gets riskier the older they get.Īpple supports the current major version and two previous versions - with macOS 13 out now, that means that macOS 11 is the oldest supported version (the oldest version which will continue to get security patches and the like).
