About 86,000 South Sudanese have fled to neighboring countries to escape fighting and insecurity. The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, plans to open new camps – and expand existing ones – in Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya.
UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards says the number of people fleeing South Sudan continues to grow.
"We're looking at at least a thousand people crossing borders into neighboring countries per day over the last week. Those numbers have risen sharply. We have in the region just over the last month about 86,000 South Sudanese refugees. By the end of January it could exceed a hundred thousand and it could continue rising from there unless we see a change inside South Sudan itself."
While UNHCR is very experienced in setting-up camps, Edwards said, the rapidly rising number of refugees has made the situation even more urgent.
He said, "Uganda is at present bearing the brunt of this. There are more than 46,000 South Sudanese refugees now in Uganda. And there are real problems there in trying to address their need — enormous congestion at a transit center near the border — real problems there getting enough water for people. We've had reports even of people trying to rent spaces – would you believe it – beneath trees just simply to find somewhere to be. So, there's real pressure on there to try and get these people out of these reception areas and into somewhere more permanent, at least for the time being."
There are over 20,000 South Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia – nearly 9,000 in Kenya and about 10,000 in Sudan.
"If you're crossing into Sudan from South Sudan right now you're potentially moving into a region where there has been conflict. And this is primarily the Kordofan states and also the East Darfur area. We don't have the access we would like to these areas, so it's hard to monitor and assess needs closely," said Edwards.
UNHCR is working with local NGOs to help those crossing into Sudan.
"If you're fleeing into a neighboring conflict zone from South Sudan, really it's a very sad reflection of just how difficult the situation in South Sudan itself is," said Edwards.
U.N. humanitarian officials estimate the number of displaced people in South Sudan to be around 460,000. About 67,000 of them have taken refuge at bases of the U.N. mission, UNMISS.
"We're trying there to deal with some of the problems that arise in a conflict situation," said Edwards, "For example, sexual gender violence, the other kind of protection issues you can imagine in the situation you have at the moment in South Sudan. We've had reports, for example, of a thousand people for a single latrine. You can imagine the pressure and the risks there are for security in that environment and for health in that environment."
The U.N. refugee agency says it needs 88-million dollars to respond to the South Sudan crisis, including the opening of new camps in neighboring countries.

I ordered for my lash business. My website is lashesbydyana.bigcartel.com My lash business instagram is @lashesbydyana I'd appreciate if you all followed. The lashes came quickly. It took them only 3 days to ship it and it got here about 3 days after it was shipped so i only waited 6 days. The lash quality is really good. None of the items were damaged. Everything was packaged nicely. The vendor communicated well. She was patient and gave many details. She sent me videos of the lashes and the packaging so i could see exactly what i was getting. Im overall satisfied with my order and I will be ordering again God's willing.
by ds****9
I highly recommend that you shop with this vendor. I had a bit of a problem with my tracking number and I received my package later than I did the very first time that I ordered from them. But overall the quality of the product was very nice . This was my second time ordering from them. The very first time I sold out. Jessica is a very popular lash set. I personally like Jessica, Marilyn, and Sophia. Freedom is more on the FULL side! My customers actually love that set as well. But the ones that sell out the fastest is Marilyn, Sophia & Jessica!
by sn****9
This was my second time ordering and I must say these lashes are great the only problem I have is they are sometimes crushed in the wrong direction I don't know if it's the way they've been packaged but the lashes will all lean to the right or the left I have to brush them out really really good I would like it if I did not have to do that besides that this is a great product the lashes are high-quality and people love them and I will still be ordering again
by Ya****s
Bertha was so patient ! And she definitely makes sure you're order is perfect. My order took a while to come but almost everyday she lets me know what's going on and why . And before she shipped out my lashes she sent me a picture of them ,just to make sure if that's what I wanted. Overall she's the best ! Her customer service is amazing and I'm so happy with my lashes. I will definitely be doing business with her again . Thank you again Bertha
by ra****v
I was so skeptical on ordering but it turned out to be the best decision ever !!!! the quality on these lashes are amazing plus they have so many different styles . the price is icing on the cake !!! plus I just learned the offer private lable I¡¯m ordering more now !!!! hope these pictures help . researching lashes I love when ppl take pics so I can see myself . plus the seller was really friendly and good at communication
by je****8
Woooooow!! Amazing quality and Fast shipping! This is now my new supplier. I ordered on March 10th and received them today March 14th. Perfect packaging. If you order enough they give you free shipping through UPS. I've seen a lot of people complain about the condition of their product once they received the package. Keep in mind if you don't order a lot they will come bubble wrapped and in a soft package but if you order enough it comes in a box. The box secures it petter than the bubble wrap and soft packaging. This is now my new supplier. Will be ordering more soon.
by mr****y
I'm very happy with my purchase, even though I wanted to choose the lashes I wanted particularly. That did not happen because I was informed the packed was shipped. I'm glad the company sent me a variety box instead. The lashes are very pretty and the packaging is also nice. I will definitely be purchasing some more boxes within the next or two. Shipping is also great. The package arrived basically in three days. That's good company service, especially because I'm moving into a new home soon. Thanks

OMG I'm so happy. THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!! p.s my pix I took of these lashes are bomb!!!

Have you ever been sitting at a red light when you look across at the car stopped next to you and are struck dumb with car envy? Right there in that intersection is the car of your dreams, and some other bloke is driving it. The design team at Volkswagen seems to be on the verge of producing yet another car that will strike car envy in anyone who doesn't have one.

The new 2018 Volkswagen Passat GT, set to hit the market sometime this spring, is about to become one of the coolest sport sedans designed by the automaker. What makes it even cooler? It's produced right here in the United States. We just want to tell you about it so you can start saving your pennies so you can be the recipient of car envy in America.
Nobody would associate Volkswagen with the U.S. on first glance, but this new project is completely homegrown out of the design garage in Chattanooga, Tennessee, just around the corner from where VW builds the Passat and Atlas.
"The result is a pretty aggressive car, where you see the sporty genes of Volkswagen coming through," says Michael Lovati, Volkswagen Group of America Vice President.
Taking their inspiration cues from other models like the VW Gold GTI and the Passat R-Line, the new GT is designed with sportier lines and the feel you would expect from a sports car. With a unique sport suspension and 19-inch Tornado wheels, the sporty nature of this vehicle combines bravado with practicality.
Under the hood you will find the Passat has a heart that beats with the same passion of its exterior. Boasting a 3.6-litre V6 engine, churning out 280 horsepower at 6,200 rpm, this little sedan has nothing but power under its hood.

Let's remember that this is still a sedan we are talking about. Not an American-made muscle car-meaning it still comes with all the convenient features of a sedan. With a six-speed DSG Tritronic automatic transmission, even the most novice car enthusiast will get a thrill from taking the GT to the grocery store.
Don't underestimate the standard features. After all, this is still a Volkswagen. From the contrasting stitching in the interior to the leather-wrapped steering wheel to the 6.3-inch display equipped with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, two USB ports, and satellite radio, this latest addition to the lineup leaves little to be desired. And for some reason, every article has to mention the LED headlights and daytime running lights. At this point we thought those were pretty much standard issue. But, hey, we won't pass up any additional opportunities to brag about this model even more.
While it's still a couple months out from hitting the lot, excitement for the new 2018 Passat GT has fans jumping at the chance to get their hands on the wheel. This new member of the Volkswagen family blurs the line between the sport class and luxury sedan, all seamlessly integrated into an exceptional American design. You will never walk away disappointed, but everyone will surely burn with envy for the great wheels you're driving. If you're excited to make a trade, see what you can put towards your Passat GT.

So how was your Thanksgiving? Mine was great. Whenever my family gets together in a group, I get enough material for four articles.
This year, we all convened at my brother Brian Boutcher's house in Sag Harbor. His in-laws, the Pratts, were there. We had all the normal commotion. Mr. Pratt, a gourmet cook, was checking the turkey every 15 minutes with family members cruising through the kitchen asking "Is it done?" Of course, there was a children's table because we don't want those animals eating with us! They still think milk shooting out of someone's nose is funny.
We told old family stories for hours, excessively embellished as the occasion and blood alcohol level demanded. We were all starting to feel very sentimental, missing the family that wasn't there and appreciating the ones that were. Just as the conversation was deteriorating into a bonding "Waltonsesque" moment, someone saved us all by suggesting we put on March of the Wooden Soldiers, as we have in the past.
So, we turned on the TV and only heard the WLNG broadcast—over the TV channel! We tried going around the channels to look for the movie, but to no avail. The appropriate thing to do would be to say, "Ah, what the heck, just leave it alone, we'll figure it out later. It's Thanksgiving, we're all here, turn off the TV."
But a malfunctioning TV is a code-red situation in any self-respecting American home. If the plumbing goes, you can go in the yard until the plumber gets there. If the power goes, you can endure it with candles and watching the children play with fire. Inconveniences can be handled, but this was TV.
All the adults not needed in the kitchen assembled in the living room. Failure was not an option. Was it the remote? Does it need batteries? Are all the cables connected and tight? Was the bill paid? Did somebody screw with the menu settings? Has there been any drinking in this room?
Brian got to lay on the floor behind the TV and swear. The couch became Capital Command Central. Karren and Rob took the job of presenting conflicting theories. David spouted off-the-wall ideas from the La-Z-Boy, "Maybe you should turn the set toward Mecca."
It was my role to reinstate suggestions other people had already made. That's really the hardest role in a situation like this because you have to make each suggestion sound like it's a new idea.
My daughter took the role of criticizer. She's older now, so it was acceptable to enter the adult realm of television crisis intervention. Plus she's got a real smart mouth. Wonder where she got it from, probably those kids at school. Someone else did a great job of saying "Shut up! We've already tried that!" Thank God we had enough people to make a complete television-crisis intervention team.
After about 45 minutes, some people (the quitters) suggested we forget about it. Besides, they said, the turkey was done. They were subdued by a loud chorus of "But we almost have it!" We were at it for at least an hour, checking connections, going through the menus and turning the set to face Mecca. Finally, just before we would've been forced to make the decision to hold dinner, Brian did something and it was fixed. He wasn't sure exactly what he did that fixed it, and that was perfect.
There are some things in life that should maintain a sense of mystery and awe about them. Thanksgiving miracles like spontaneous machine restoration is one of them.
So what did we do next? Well, the turkey dinner—trimmings and all—was set and ready to go, so we turned off the TV and went and had dinner of course!

Emily Deschanel has made her mark on acting with her role as Dr. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan on the television comedy-crime drama Bones. Daughter of renowned cinematographer Caleb Deschanel and actress Mary Jo Deschanel, Emily grew up surrounded by show business and followed her parent's passion into a lengthy career of her own. Along with Bones, which has captivated audiences for an amazing nine seasons (six of those with Emily as Producer), she has also managed to balance TV work with roles in movies such as: Spider-Man 2, Cold Mountain, My Sister's Keeper, and The Alamo. Behind camera, Emily has done voice-over work for The Cleveland Show and was an associate producer for the documentary How I Became an Elephant. In September, 2010, Deschanel married fellow actor and writer David Hornsby, and they welcomed their first child to the world in September, 2011. Stardom runs in the family. Her sister, Zoe, is the lead charcter in Fox's New Girl. For her talents, Emily has received a Satellite Award nomination, two Teen Choice Award nominations, and two People's Choice Award nominations in 2011 and 2012.

She has collaborated with other actors to create videos supporting regular breast cancer screenings for Stand Up 2 Cancer and has provided support to the AmberWatch Foundation, Somaly Mam Foundation, and the Natural Resources Defense Council—just to name a few. Closest to her heart however, are animals and animal rights. A long time vegan, Emily uses her celebrity to help raise awareness and fight for animal rights and the humane treatment of animals. She has worked with PETA to promote a vegan lifestyle and was the official spokesperson for Walk for Farm Animals—a yearly event that aims to raise funds and awareness to stop farm animal abuse, sponsored by Farm Sanctuary. Emily continues to partner with Farm Sanctuary to end animal cruelty through legislation, education, and adoption and rescue of at risk farm animals. She has been honored by Mercy for Animals, The Humane Society, and the LA City Council for her passionate animal activism.

There are people we celebrate with awards. And there are people we celebrate with honors. But some people have done so much in and for our community that we want to occasionally take a step back and find a way to thank them in a special way.
Lori and Steve Klinghoffer have done so much for our Federation and our community. They are both Federation Past Presidents, and their names are deeply embedded in nearly every leadership structure we've had. As immediate Past President, Lori has also been a mentor, guide, and counsel to me as a new Federation Exec.
So this last week we opened the brand-new, beautiful Klinghoffer Family Lounge, a lovely space on the second floor of our Whippany campus that serves as both a meeting center and a relaxing space. When you walk in you're struck by two powerful messages. On one wall, we have a stunning view of our past – a large reproduction of a 1946 United Jewish Appeal comic. It's a strikingly-colored story that … well, you just have to come in and read it to understand. On the other wall, we have a large set of pop-open frames. Every now and then we'll ask the children and grandchildren (and other random children) of our Board members and professionals to draw something for us, so we can have our own art gallery of the future.
I hope you'll come visit our new lounge. And share with me in our gratitude to Lori and Steve and their family for everything they do.

War-Weary Refugees Finding Christ
Jan 07, 2007
A friend emailed this report to me recently. It occurred to me back in the year 2000 that we would probably begin to see Muslims becoming disillusioned with Islam, because of the violence that they have experienced at the hands of other Muslims. Certainly, the sectarian violence raging today in Iraq between the Sunni and Shia Muslims must reveal to many of them that something is drastically wrong.
Many refugees are fleeing to Norway, where a Church has been reaching out to them--not to offer them an alternate RELIGION, but to show them the love of Christ. Here is the report:
Norway Church Becomes Hot Spot for Spiritually Hungry Muslims
Roughly 500 Muslims have been baptized through the ministry of a 15-member Norway congregation known as The Wellspring Church. Many of the converts to Christianity have sought refuge in Norway from violence in Middle Eastern nations such as Afghanistan. Based in Aal, located about four hours from the capital, Oslo,Wellspring employs full-time Iranian evangelist Daniel Marandis, who said many Muslims are hurting and desire prayer from Christians.
"We try to reach the refugees when they first arrive in the capital, before they are scattered all over the country," said Marandis, who is based in Oslo. "We invite them to our Disco Church, [where visitors can experience] cultural events with lots of ethnic foods, dancing to Middle East pop and prayer," he said.
Wellspring pastor Helge Svanaasen said it is common for the Muslims who visit his church to encounter the Holy Spirit, a key reason that many of them come to salvation. Marandis added that many Muslims have fallen under the power of the Holy Spirit and received revelation while visiting the church. "They realized that the Holy Spirit does not go together with Islam," he said. "Helge is not baptizing them into his church. People are not interested in changing religions. They are interested in God."
Arabs Come to Christ in Jerusalem
The Middle East is notorious for being hostile to the gospel. But evangelist Elias Malki says several people accepted Christ and many were healed during a two-night crusade he led in Jerusalem in late November.
"I have never experienced such a meeting," said Malki, who has visited Jerusalem more than 50 times. "The people were so hungry for God. I just put my hand on them and they were getting healed. Their faith was so strong. To God be all the glory." On both nights 300 people packed into a church that seats 150. One woman who attended the first night said she was healed of rheumatoid arthritis in both of her legs and her right arm. She said she could lift her arms and legs with no pain.
Another woman said she was healed of diabetes on the last night of the crusade. "This is history in the making," Malki said. "In the old walls of Jerusalem, this is the beginning of something that is going to happen here." Malki has helped pioneer Christian television in the Middle East. His Good Newstalk-and-prayer program, which is broadcast entirely in Arabic, celebrates its 10-year anniversary on satellite this year.

Iran and France signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday to produce automotive rubber parts in Iran in an agreement that is set to turn domestic producers into parts suppliers for French carmakers.
The agreement was signed by Mehdi Nekoumanesh, head of Iran Polymer and Petrochemical Institute (IPPI), and the president of Union des Syndicats des PME du Caoutchouc et de la Plasturgie (UCAPLAST), Denis Vaillant, Shana News reported.
UCAPLAST is an independent employers' organization which represents all small and medium-size French enterprises in the rubber and plastics industry.
The MoU calls for sharing expertise of UCAPLAST member companies with Iranian manufacturers.
Affiliated to the Ministry of Science, IPPI oversees activities of 20 knowledge-based companies which produce rubber parts for automobiles.
The businesses are expected to sign an auto parts and supplies contract with the French automaker Citroen. The French company already has a joint production deal with Iran's second-largest automaker SAIPA.
According to the deal, Citroen is required to export 30% of vehicles or auto parts manufactured under the JV through its international sales network.
The IPPI-UCAPLAST arrangement will enable local auto parts suppliers to make products that meet Citroen standards.
The MoU was signed on the sidelines of 11th International Exhibition of Plastics, Rubber, Machinery, and Equipment (Iran Plast 2017) held Sept. 24-27 in Tehran.
Easy Exports
For selling vehicles and components in the EU and countries under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Regulation 10, companies must have the E-mark certificates for their products.
However, according to the Head of the Bureau Veritas automotive department in Iran, Mehdi Parvini plastic automotive parts used in vehicles' interior are exempted and do not need the certificates.
Obtaining E-mark certificates is an arduous and time-consuming exercise and seen as a hurdle to automotive exports from Iran. Therefore, it would be easier for Citroen and other French auto companies operating in Iran — namely Renault and Peugeot — to export plastic automotive parts produced in Iran through their international networks instead of exporting vehicles or engine parts.
Outdated technology used by Iran's supply chain are seen as a hurdle in the way of expanding the local automotive industries and implementing local carmakers joint venture contracts with foreign firms.
Law stipulates that in all new agreements signed with foreign companies at least 40% of the vehicle parts should be manufactured in Iran. However, foreign carmakers are reluctant to comply for more reasons than one.
The IPPI-UCAPLAST deal should contribute to the implementation of the new JVs with foreign firms because plastic parts have an obvious share in the production of vehicles.

To write something down is to humble ourselves.
why people rarely do it.
things down means we don't know everything. Or can't remember everything. Or might
learn something. Writing things down means we have to pause long enough to
honor the moment and listen to people. Writing things down means we have to
confront our own beliefs and drip a little blood on the paper. Writing things
down means we might have been wrong about something, and god forbid, might have
to be open to an idea that makes us squirm.
we don't.
convince ourselves that certain ideas aren't important, aren't worth remembering
and aren't worth documenting. And we move on.
the other hand, when we write things down, when we respect everything life has
to offer and treat our ideas with deep democracy, even the ones that scare us, we
start conversations that change the world.
not a pen, it's a lever.

Following some research, it selected M.R.S Communications to install a reliable radio system that provides full area coverage. M.R.S's Carl Duarte, key account manager, and Sarah Ridings, account manager, visited the town on 28 May 2019 – along with two engineers, Neil Court and Wayne Russell – to install the new communications system, which consists of a single MOTOTRBO SLR5500, A TRBOnet radio dispatch solution and 34 SL2600 two-way radio handsets. Each handset is assigned to a different shop or pub, and assigned caller IDs, making it easy to see which BID member is speaking. The TRBOnet Enterprise solution allows the dispatcher to send texts to the users. A full coverage survey was performed before installing the system and its antenna at the BID's office in the village.Ridings told Land Mobile that given the number of users, the fact that many pubs on the scheme are open during the day while quite a few retailers continue to communicate after 6pm, and some incidents in which shoplifters had attempted to sell stolen goods in pubs, it was decided to have all the users on a single talk group, rather than have one for the day-time economy and one for the night-time.Kate Smart, BID manager at Harborne Village BID, said: "[It's] great to have the team from M.R.S. Communications visit us… to launch our new shop radio system! The most effective method of crime prevention in communities is communication, so we're delighted to be working in partnership with our security warden and local businesses to help keep the area safe. Thank you M.R.S. Communications for swinging by to help us set up." The Harborne Village BID was awarded its Business Improvement District (BID) status in October 2017 and since then has been focusing on continually improving communication in the Harborne area. Part of its mission is to encourage businesses to communicate and work with each other – which is vital for crime prevention. The BID aims to improve the retail and business profile of Harborne with the hope that this will guide custom and inward investment to Harborne businesses.
