Assaraya Alhmara Museum, Tripoli, Libya - Assaraya Alhamra, "The Red Castle" or "The Red Fort" was painted red after the Spanish invasions in 1510 AD. Digging along an adjacent road revealed that the fort was built on top of an ancient Roman fortified camp. The building was established by the Phoenicians, who later abandoned the city after they established the nearby Carthage. A road once passed through the castle and was adorned with statues on both sides, which gave the museum an unique outdoor department. The castle was built to defend the city, it continued to be the centre of Tripoli's power right up to the 20th century.
After the Romans' descendants' return in 1911, the Italian converted a section of the castle, that was originally used as an ammunition storehouse, into Libya's first museum in 1919, to house some of the countless archaeological artifacts scattered across Libya since prehistoric times. By 1930s, it was named the Classical Museum - in reference to the classical Greco-Roman period. After the British occupied Libya during the Second War, the museum grew to occupy the entire complex and became known as The Libyan Museum in 1948, with the four wings: Prehistory - Ancient Libyan Tribes (the Berbers: Garamentes, Tuareg, etc.) - Libyan-Punic-Greco-Roman-Byzantine Traditions - Natural History
After Gaddafi's September Revolution, in 1969, a new wing was added, The People's Era Wing, to document the Libyan struggle for independence. and then later a war museum, known as The Conflict Museum. In 1982, in a joint venture with the UNISCO, the museum was further developed to its current state and became known as Assaraya Alhmara museum, which reopened its doors to the public in 1988. The museum occupies 10,000 square meters and is widely recognised as one of the most important and richest museums in the world; owing to its unique collection of original items spanning all periods of human's civilisation on this planet, right from the stone age and the prehistoric civilisations of the great Sahara desert to the medieval periods and the present day. Libya is rich in archaeology, with most of its prehistoric secrets still buried under the desert's sand and beneath the sea's water, for future generations to rediscover and bring to life once more.

Libya is holding a one-week theater festival in Benghazi, featuring plays and performances made over the last two years, to promote arts in Libya.
The Benghazi Festival for Performing Arts coincides with the 87th anniversary of the creation of the People's Theater, that launched the first theatrical movement in the North African country.
Such events in Libya "play a pivotal role in the production of diverse works, making them a reflective theatrical season encapsulating the essence of Libyan theater," said Ali Al-Falah, a Libyan playwright.
The festival reopened in 2019 after over a seven-year shutdown, following the NATO-backed uprising that toppled and killed long-serving ruler Moammar Gadhafi.

FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) are electronic devices which are programmable with a configuration memory to implement arbitrary electronic circuits. While they have been used for decades to implement various adaptable electronic components, they got some traction more recently to be used as generic programmable accelerators more suitable for software programmers.
There are already HLS (High-Level Synthesis) tools to translate some functions written with languages like C/C++ into equivalent electronic circuits which can be called from programs running on processors to accelerate parts of a global application, often in an energy-efficient way. The current limitation is that there are 2 different programs: the host part, running the main application, and the device part, glued together with an interface library without any type-safety guaranty.
Since the C++ standard does not address yet the concept of hardware heterogeneity and remote memory, the Khronos Group organization has developed SYCL, an open standard defining an executable DSL (Domain-Specific Language) using pure modern C++ without any extension. There are around 10 different SYCL implementations targeting various devices allowing a single-source C++ application to run on CPU and controlling various accelerators (CPU, GPU, DSP, AI...) in a unified way by using different backends at the same time in a single type-safe C++ program.
We present a SYCL implementation https://github.com/triSYCL/sycl targeting Xilinx Alveo FPGA cards by merging 2 different open-source implementations, Intel’s oneAPI DPC++ with some LLVM passes from triSYCL.
For a C++ audience, this presentation gives a concrete example on why the C++ standard does not describe detailed execution semantics (stack, cache, registers...): because C++ can be executed on devices which are not even processors.
While this presentation targets FPGA and a SYCL implementation from a specific vendor, the content provides also:
- a generic introduction to FPGA which should be interesting outside of Xilinx or even without the use of SYCL;
- how C++ can be translated in some equivalent electronic circuits;
- a generic introduction to SYCL which should be interesting for people interested to know more about heterogeneous programming and C++, beyond only FPGA.

Frederik Willem de Klerk (born 18 March 1936), often known as F. W. de Klerk, was the seventh and last State President of apartheid-era South Africa, serving from September 1989 to May 1994. De Klerk was also leader of the National Party(which later became the New National Party) from February 1989 to September 1997.
Thabo Mvuyelwa Mbeki[3] (Xhosa pronunciation: [tʰaɓɔ mbɛːkʼi]; born 18 June 1942) is a South African politician who served two terms as the second post-apartheid President of South Africa from 14 June 1999[4] to 24 September 2008.[5] He is also the brother of Moeletsi Mbeki. On 20 September 2008, he announced his resignation after being recalled by the African National Congress's National Executive Committee,[6] following a conclusion by Judge Nicholson of improper interference in theNational Prosecuting Authority (NPA), including the prosecution of Jacob Zuma for corruption.[7] On 12 January 2009, the Supreme Court of Appeal unanimously overturned Judge Nicholson's judgment[8][9][10] but the resignation stood.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
On 19 March 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya, ostensibly to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. The United Nations Intent and Voting was to have "an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians, which it said might constitute crimes against humanity ... imposing a ban on all flights in the country's airspace – a no-fly zone – and tightened sanctions on the Gaddafi regime and its supporters." The resolution was taken in response to events during the Libyan Civil War, and military operations began, with American and British naval forces firing over 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles, the French Air Force, British Royal Air Force, and Royal Canadian Air Force undertaking sorties across Libya and a naval blockade by Coalition forces. French jets launched air strikes against Libyan Army tanks and vehicles. The Libyan government response to the campaign was totally ineffectual, with Gaddafi's forces not managing to shoot down a single NATO plane despite the country possessing 30 heavy SAM batteries, 17 medium SAM batteries, 55 light SAM batteries (a total of 400–450 launchers, including 130–150 2K12 Kub launchers and some 9K33 Osa launchers), and 440–600 short-ranged air-defense guns. The official names for the interventions by the coalition members are Opération Harmattan by France; Operation Ellamy by the United Kingdom; Operation Mobile for the Canadian participation and Operation Odyssey Dawn for the United States. Italy initially opposed the intervention but then offered to take part in the operations on the condition that NATO took the leadership of the mission instead of individual countries (particularly France). As this condition was later met, Italy shared its bases and intelligence with the allies.From the beginning of the intervention, the initial coalition of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Qatar, Spain, UK and US expanded to nineteen states, with newer states mostly enforcing the no-fly zone and naval blockade or providing military logistical assistance. The effort was initially largely led by France and the United Kingdom, with command shared with the United States. NATO took control of the arms embargo on 23 March, named Operation Unified Protector. An attempt to unify the military command of the air campaign (whilst keeping political and strategic control with a small group), first failed over objections by the French, German, and Turkish governments. On 24 March, NATO agreed to take control of the no-fly zone, while command of targeting ground units remains with coalition forces. The handover occurred on 31 March 2011 at 06:00 UTC (08:00 local time). NATO flew 26,500 sorties since it took charge of the Libya mission on 31 March 2011.
Fighting in Libya ended in late October following the death of Muammar Gaddafi, and NATO stated it would end operations over Libya on 31 October 2011. Libya's new government requested that its mission be extended to the end of the year, but on 27 October, the Security Council voted to end NATO's mandate for military action on 31 October.
19 October 2022 - Policy Dialogue
Speakers: Fatih Ceylan, Former Permanent Representative of Turkey to NATO; Hüseyin Bağcı, Professor of International Relations, Middle East Technical University (METU); Laura Batalla Adam, Secretary General, European Parliament Turkey Forum
Moderator: Amanda Paul, Senior Policy Analyst, European Policy Centre
Türkiye’s foreign policy has significantly evolved under the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with Ankara claiming that it is implementing a multi-vector foreign policy. While Turkey continues to have significant economic, political, and military ties with the West, Ankara has adopted a more autonomous and unpredictable foreign policy with aspirations to become a major regional and global actor. This Policy Dialogue aimed to unpack and better understand Turkish foreign policy in today’s ever-changing geopolitical context. What are the key goals of Ankara’s foreign policy today? Should the West still consider Turkey a credible, reliable and unique ally, or should it be wary of the country’s foreign policy ambitions?
ADOS, XYZ Countries, and (Which) Black Lives Matter: Engaging Contemporary Intra-racial and Transnational Dynamics Surrounding Black College Students
Presented by Kat J. Stephens, Ed.M; Taylor Lewis, M.Ed.; Tita Feraud-King, M.S.Ed.; and Kelechi Ohiri, B.A. Recorded on February 3, 2021.
This session will focus on how the current U.S. sociopolitical climate (related explicitly to anti-Black racism and nativism) is impacting Black students of diverse ethnicities and nativities as well as Black intra-racial dynamics on campuses. We will use current racial movements (e.g., ADOS, Black Lives Matter) and incidents alongside our empirical research to share and co-construct strategies for supporting diverse Black students.

Your client has waited for over a year to bring a loved relative to the United States. The last hurdle has come, the day of the immigrant visa interview. The interview passes and you get a panicked call, “the consular officer said we have to wait for a decision!” A week passes, no news. Two weeks pass, no news. You write the immigrant visa unit and ask what is going on and get the dreaded response, “the case is pending administrative processing. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case.” Rather than pulling out your hair and gnashing your teeth, this webinar will go over techniques to identify the problem, calm the client down, and speed up the process.
How to avoid administrative processing (e.g., preloading your case).
When to wait and for how long.
How to identify the potential problem.
Exploring and exhausting your remedies.
Possibilities for litigation.
