$10,000 In Toys For Madonna's Adopted Boy
Conan O'Brien joked during his Late Night monologue on Friday night, "Madonna adopted a young boy from Africa this week. And, this is the latest, she's already bought him $10,000 worth of toys. Yeah, today the African boy said, 'Tickle Me Elmo is great, but what I could really use is a sandwich'."
Popular Item For African Kids
October 21, 2006 – Jay Leno joked during his Tonight Show monologue on Friday night, "Wesley Snipes, who was wanted for tax evasion, they said he owes $12 million. They found him in the country of Namibia, which has no extradition treaty with the United States. Yeah. In fact, their only hope of getting him back is if he's adopted by Madonna. … As you may have heard, Madonna spent $28,000 this week on toys for her newly adopted boy from Africa. In fact, you know what the most popular selling item among poor African kids is now? You know what it? Maps to the stars' homes."
Madonna's H&M Tracksuits Flop
October 17, 2006 – Contributed Anonymously: Radar magazine reports that three months after signing with H&M to design tracksuits for the store, sales are reported to have been very disappointing. When asked about how well the clothes were selling, a spokesperson for H&M claimed they were selling "very well," yet refused to release numbers. The story and picture of the tracksuits packed on the rack, which suggests nobody is hurrying to buy them, has since been removed at radaronline.com.
Madonna Spends Big On Toys For Adopted Boy
October 20, 2006 – Jay Leno joked during his Tonight Show monologue on Thursday night, "Amnesty International said today, the United States is holding foreign people in secret locations against their will, and these celebrity adoptions must stop immediately. … Well, it said in the paper today, Madonna's already spent $28,000 on toys for her new adopted baby from Africa. In fact, earlier today, Gary Coleman called Madonna and said, 'Ma!'"
NBC Cuts Controversial Song From Madonna Special
October 19, 2006 – NBC is editing out a controversial portion of a Madonna concert scheduled to air November 22nd. During the song 'Live to Tell', the artist performed while on a cross which upset several family and religious groups. The network said, in a statement issued Thursday, that it is now taking that part of the concert out of the special. The full story at nbc-2.com has since been removed.
David's Father Talks To Us Weekly
October 19, 2006 – Yohande Banda, father of Madonna's soon-to-be-adopted son David, has talked with Us Weekly magazine about meeting Madonna. "She is such a lovely lady," Mr. Banda said. "She asked me questions about me, David and my family." Asked whether Madonna had sung one of her hit songs for him, Mr Banda said: "No, but she told me she sings for David." Asked if Madonna had made any promises to him, Mr. Banda said: "She is one of our family now. In our Malawian culture, if you are wealthy and some of your relatives are poor, you are obliged, although not forced, to assist in any way you can. I am not asking for anything from Madonna, but when David grows up and is brought here and sees our poverty, he will certainly ask his mum to help."

The Pandemic and Oil
Conn M. Hallinan 09/17/2020
Foreign Policy in Focus) – With oil prices down and wealthy countries bungling COVID-19, the pandemic has exposed the weaknesses that wealth papers over.
During the reign of the Emperor Justinian I (527-565 AD), a mysterious plague spread out of the Nile Valley to Constantinople and finished off the Roman Empire. Appearing first in China and North India, the "Black Death" (Yersinia pestis) radiated throughout the Mediterranean and into Northern Europe. It may well have killed close to half the world's population, some 50 million people.
COVID-19 is not the Black Death, but its impact may be civilizational, weakening the mighty, raising up the modest, and rearranging axes of power across the globe.
The Middle East is a case in point. Since the end of World War II, the wealth of the Persian Gulf monarchies — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait and Qatar — has overturned the traditional centers of power that dominated the region for millennia: Turkey, Egypt, and Persia. While those civilizations were built on agriculture, industry, and trade, the monarchs were fabulously wealthy simply because they sat on a sea of oil.
The monarchies — Saudi Arabia in particular — have used that wealth to overthrow governments, silence internal dissent, and sponsor a version of Islam that has spawned terrorists from the Caucasus to the Philippines.
And now they are in trouble.
The Saudi owned oil company, Aramco, just saw its quarterly earnings fall from $24.7 billion to $6.6 billion, a more than 73 percent drop from a year ago.
Not all the slump is due to the pandemic recession. Over the past eight years, Arab oil producers have seen their annual revenues decline from $1 trillion to $300 billion, reflecting a gradual shift away from hydrocarbons toward renewable energy. But COVID-19 has greatly accelerated that trend.
For countries like Saudi Arabia, this is an existential problem. The country has a growing population, much of it unemployed and young — some 70 percent of Saudis are under 30. So far, the royalty has kept a lid on things by handing out cash and make-work jobs, but the drop in revenues is making that more difficult. The kingdom —as well as the UAE — has hefty financial reserves, but that money will not last forever.
In the Saudi case, a series of economic and political blunders have worsened the crisis.
Riyadh is locked into an expensive military stalemate in Yemen, while also trying to diversify the country's economy. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is pushing a $500 billion Red Sea mega project to build a new city, Neom, that will supposedly attract industry, technology, and investment.
However, the plan has drawn little outside money, because investors are spooked by the Crown Prince's aggressive foreign policy and the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Saudis are borrowing up to $12 billion just to pay Aramco dividends of $75 billion a year.
The oil crisis has spread to Middle Eastern countries that rely on the monarchs for investments, aid, and jobs for their young populations. Cairo sends some 2.5 million Egyptians to work in the Gulf states, and countries like Lebanon provide financial services and consumer goods.
Lebanon is now imploding, Egypt is piling up massive debts, and Iraq can't pay its bills because oil is stuck at around $46 a barrel. Saudi Arabia needs a price of at least $95 a barrel to meet its budgetary needs — and to feed the appetites of its royals.
When the pandemic ends, oil prices will rise, but they are very unlikely to reach the levels they did in the early 2000s when they averaged $100 a barrel. Oil prices have been low ever since Saudi Arabia's ill-conceived attempt to drive out smaller competitors and retake its former market share.
In 2014, Riyadh deliberately drove down the price of oil to hurt smaller competitors and throttle expensive arctic drilling projects. But when China's economy slowed, demand for oil fell, and the price has never recovered.
Of the top 10 oil producers in the world, five are in the Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, the UAE, and Kuwait. All of them are in dire straits, although in Iran's case this is exacerbated by U.S. sanctions. With the exception of Iraq — where massive demonstrations have shaken the country's leadership — most of those countries have been politically quiet. In the case of the monarchies, of course, it is hard to judge the level of dissatisfaction because they do not tolerate dissent.
But how long will the royals be able to keep the lid on?
"It is a transformation that has speeded up by the corona virus cataclysm," says Middle East expert Patrick Cockburn, "and will radically change the politics of the Middle East."
There is no region untouched by the current crisis. With the exception of the presidents of Brazil and the U.S., most world leaders have concluded that climate change is a reality and that hydrocarbons are the major culprit. Even when the pandemic eases, oil use will continue to decline.
The virus has exposed the fault lines among the mighty. The United States has the largest economy in the world and is the greatest military power on the globe, and yet it simply collapsed in the face of COVID-19. With 4 percent of the world's population, the United States accounts for 22 percent of the pandemic's fatalities.
And the U.S. is not alone. The United Kingdom has more than 40,000 dead, and its economy has plummeted 9 percent. In contrast, Bangladesh, the world's most crowded country, with twice Great Britain's population, has around 4,000 deaths and its economy has contracted by only 1.9 percent.
"COVID-19 has blown away the myth about 'First' and 'Third' world competence," says Steven Friedman, director of the Center for the Study of Democracy in Johannesburg.
Turkey, Vietnam, Cuba, and Nigeria all have far better records fighting the virus than Great Britain and the European Union.
Partly this is because Europe's population is older. While Europe's average age is 43, Africa's is 19. Younger people infected with coronavirus generally have better outcomes than older people, but age doesn't fully explain the differences.
While Turkey developed sophisticated tracking methods to monitor measles, and Nigeria did the same for Ebola, the U.S. and United Kingdom were systematically starving or dismantling public health programs. Instead of stockpiling supplies to deal with a pandemic, Europe and the U.S. relied on countries like China to quickly supply things like personal protection equipment on an "as needed" basis, because it was cheaper than producing their own or paying for storage and maintenance.
But "need" doesn't work during a worldwide pandemic. China had its own health crisis to deal with. The lag time between the appearance of the virus and obtaining the tools to fight it is directly responsible for the wave of deaths among medical workers and first responders.
And while the Chinese economy has rebounded — enough to tick the price of oil slightly upwards — the U.S., Great Britain, and the EU are mired in what promises to be a painful recession.
The neoliberal model of low taxes, privatization of public resources, and reliance on the free market has demonstrated its incompetence in the face of a natural disaster. The relationship between wealth and favorable outcomes only works when that wealth is invested in the many, not the few.
The Plague of Justinian destroyed the Roman Empire. The pandemic is not likely to do that to the United States. But it has exposed the fault lines and structural weaknesses that wealth papers over — until something like COVID-19 comes along to shake the glitter off the system.

cannovex receives eur 0.5 millio...
CANNOVEX receives EUR 0.5 million grant for development of nanofibrous films for transmucosal uptake of cannabinoids
Cannovex BV (the 'Company' or 'Cannovex), a developer of cannabinoid-based medicines announces that it has been awarded a EUR 0.5 million development grant from VLAIO, the Flanders organization for Innovation & Entrepreneurship. The grant will run over two years and will support the development of nanofibrous films for transmucosal delivery of cannabinoids.
Although the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids has been recognized in a wide range of different disease areas (based on the interaction with the endocannabinoid system) by medical specialists, there is still a giant gap between its potential and the clinical evidence thereof. One of the reasons is the poor current formulation of the drug substance. Current cannabinoid-based products often show severe shortcomings like a substantial first pass metabolism effect, high inter- and intra-patient variability and considerable unwanted secondary effects. Many of these issues can be solved using Cannovex' innovative formulations.
The development of the transmucosal film is part of the innovative programs on cannabinoid formulations at Cannovex. The Companies' mission is to bring the positive effects of cannabinoids to patients by means of its most optimal delivery form possible and in accordance with the EU regulatory pathway. In partnership with a renowned EU university and a cGMP qualified drug delivery partner, the Company is developing the first-ever patch where cannabinoids are serving as active ingredient. These highly innovative formulations are the basis of a world-wide patent portfolio and the creators of a stepstone-platform towards many different disease areas. Given the numerous pre-clinical evidence and safety data available on cannabinoids, Cannovex is confident to be able to successfully test its innovative products in EU-regulated clinical trials in the coming years.
Steven Peters, Chief Executive Officer of Cannovex, commented: "We are very pleased to receive this VLAIO grant and support from the Flemish government for our highly innovative project in cannabinoids. This is a recognition for our pioneering work and for our vision and strategy in the biotech field. Around the world cannabinoids demonstrate to be a promising group of compounds potentially serving high unmet medical needs. It is our mission at Cannovex to develop these cannabinoids into proprietary innovative formulations and to clinically validate these in EMA and FDA regulated clinical trials."
Bram Beckers, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Cannovex, added: "R&D grants are an attractive source of funding for our company to drive and accelerate our research and development activities. In addition, the seal of approval from VLAIO clearly demonstrates the innovative potential of our activities. To start our clinical plans, the first step is to develop a highly reliable drug delivery platform for cannabinoids. This first transmucosal film is a perfect fit into this need and I'm really looking forward to work with specialists in this area to broaden our innovative cannabinoid-based product portfolio."
Cannovex expects to finalise its formulation next year and to start First in Human clinical trial testing soon after.
Cannovex is a Belgian biotech company which develops innovative cannabinoid-based medicines to improve the lives of patients worldwide. For the development of cannabinoid-based medicines, purity and exact dosing of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is a critical success factor. Cannovex dedicates much effort to the procurement of high-purity cannabinoids that can be precisely dosed in the required formulations. These cannabinoid APIs may either be sourced from renowned international API producers and/or produced in-house. Cannovex is committed to ensure cannabinoid molecules of the highest purity, thus enabling precise dosing for each formulation. Cannovex aims to set up clinical studies with these formulations, in collaboration with EU university hospitals, to provide proofs of concept (PoC). Based on these PoCs, Cannovex will explore partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to conduct end-stage clinical trials, to apply for market authorisation with European Medicines Agency (EMA) and similar authorities, and to bring our cannabinoid medicinal products to the markets worldwide.

Rallus crepitans — вид птиц из семейства пастушковых. Выделяют 11 подвидов.

Распространение
Обитают на соленых заболоченных землях вдоль восточного побережья США от Массачусетса и до границы с Мексикой, с заходом на её территорию. Ареал в Мексике и Центральной Америке плохо изучен. Обычны на карибских островах, включая крупные (например, Багамы, Куба). Популяции на юге США и южнее круглогодичные. Популяции с севера США в основном улетают на зиму в южную часть ареала.

Описание
Крупная птица от серовато-коричневого до тускло-коричневого цвета с тонким, слегка изогнутым клювом. Тело сжато с боков, ноги и пальцы длинные по сравнению с размером тела. Общая длина взрослой особи 32-41 см, вес 199—400 г. Оперение у самцов и самок одинаково, но самцы в среднем на 20 % крупнее. Основание и бока клюва оранжево-желтые до ярко-оранжевого у самцов, более тусклые у самок. Окраска взрослых особей варьируется от серовато-коричневой до светло-корично-коричневой. Вентральная окраска равномерная; темнее на спине. Спинные перья имеют черноватые или темные центры разной ширины. Бока отмечены чередующимися белыми полосами, от темных до тусклых чёрных полос. Описаны цветовые морфы. У молодых особей клюв бледнее. Оперение молоди варьирует от очень тускло-серого до темно-серого, с черноватыми боками и боками; прожилки на боках и подхвостье при этом нечеткие.

Биология
Ракообразные если они доступны составляют основу рациона. Поедают мелких крабов, слизней, пескарей, водных насекомых, креветок, кузнечиков, мелких позвоночных, семена, яйца других птиц и иногда обездвиженных мелких птиц. Потребление растительных кормов возрастает зимой.

Большую часть работы по строительству гнезда совершает самец, причем самка часто начинает откладывать яйца еще до того, как она закончена. Эти птицы конкурируют с ацтекскими чайками за места для гнёзд и иногда используют гнёзда чаек.

Newton D. Baker
Martinsburg Evening Journal
Newton D. Baker Rites To Be Held In Cleveland Tuesday
Native Of Martinsburg, Later War Secretary Under Wilson, Dies Suddenly
Became Prominent Attorney - Son Of Physician In Martinsburg, Spent Early Life Here
A sketch of the life of Newton D. Baker will be found on page three of today's issue.
Newton D. Baker, 66, native of Martinsburg and who spent his early life here, later Secretary of War in the World War period and who as secretary mobilized the greatest United States Army in the history of this country, died Saturday at his home in Cleveland. Rites will be held in Cleveland Tuesday afternoon with interment in that city.
The short-eloquent statesman who served in the World War Cabinet of President Wilson had been confined to his bed since shortly after his 66th birthday December 3. He was first stricken several months ago in Syracuse, N. Y.
He recovered from this attack and resumed some of his law practice. As counsel for a number of utilities he recently appeared in court at Chattanooga, Tenn., in a suit involving the utilities and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Born in Martinsburg
In the later years of his life he had withdrawn gradually from the multiplicity of interests which he cultivated after leaving public office, living quietly at his home here and visiting his law office frequently.
Baker, born in Martinsburg, was the son of a physician in the Confederate army.
Last year he resigned as chairman of the Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) Democratic central committee, a position he had held for 26 years. He said then "it is up to us older men to give the young fellows their chance."
Had Quiet Christmas
Baker is survived by his widow, one son, Newton D. Baker, third; two daughters, Mrs. Margaret Wright, of St. Louis, and Mrs. Elizabeth McGean of Cleveland; and five grandchildren.
Although reluctant in late years to express himself on political questions, he studied international affairs closely. A little more than a year ago, he said "the world is in the most unsafe situation I have ever seen it."
Members of the family had gathered at the Baker home for a quiet Christmas. The former War Secretary's son, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. McGean, a physician and nurse were with him when he died.
Members of the family said he was "cheerful to the last" and felt well enough to join in some of the Christmas festivities. He conferred for a while early in the day with his law partner, Joseph C. Hostetler.
Dr. Roy Scott, one of his physicians, said Baker had suffered from heart trouble for several years. Death was caused, he said, by coronary thrombosis. Baker was conscious to within a few minutes of his death.
Members of the family said he made his last visit to his law office December 3, his birthday.
Eulogized For Service
Simple services will be held Tuesday for the former Secretary of War, eulogized by prominent Americans as one of the Nation's great leaders.
Arrangements called for the body to lie in state with a military guard of honor in Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Tuesday morning.
The family asked that processions for paying last respects be formed early because the cathedral will not hold the crowds expected for the last rites in the afternoon.
Burial will be in Lake View cemetery in Cleveland, near the graves of President James A. Garfield, John D. Rockefeller, Senator Marcus A. Hanna and Ambassador Myron T. Herrick.
"Death was very sudden," said his son, Newton D. Baker, 3d. "He seemed well and happy to the end."
In Mr. Baker's service as Secretary of War with resident Woodrow Wilson in World War days, few were closer linked than Gen. John J. Pershing.
Gen. Pershing said Monday in Tucson, Ariz., "Mr. Baker was America's greatest Secretary of War." To him he gave "full credit for success of providing men and materials and their transportation to Europe."
Newton Baker Was Native This City
Spent Early Years in Martinsburg, Also Made It Point To Stop Here If Possible
Newton D. Baker, whose death occurred in Cleveland Saturday, was a native son of Martinsburg, born at the Baker home at 203 East Burke street, now owned and occupied by Dr. and Mrs. James H. Shipper.
He and his father were most intimate, and friends here said Monday morning that credit for the son's success in life should be given the father, who studied with and encouraged the son always. He was one of several brothers and, said to have been different from the average boy of the crowd, did not seek beyond his family for intimates.
He was graduated from Martinsburg High School and left immediately for college, never spending any great length of time here afterward. He returned whenever possible, however, and for years retained his membership in Trinity Episcopal Church, often attending services there when in the city for brief periods. He had spoken at gatherings of Martinsburg High School Alumni Association, in behalf of patriotic projects and political campaigns in the city.
It was said Monday that his last visits to the city were in 1936 when he stopped briefly, twice within a short space of time, while making trips to the Valley for a law case in which he was interested.
The Berkeley Bar Association, of which the deceased was a member when he began his practice in this city, sent flowers to the Baker home Monday. It was expected that Attorney Clarence E. Martin, this city, former president of the American Bar Association, would attend the rites Tuesday.

Othello Castle
Famagusta, Cyprus
Othello Castle was originally built as a moated citadel by the House of Lusignan in the 14th century to protect Famagusta's harbour, and was originally the main entrance to the town. The tower was restored 3 years after Cyprus was sold to the Republic of Venice, under the command of captain Nicolo Foscari. After the restoration the Lion of St. Marcus was engraved on the entrance, along with captain Nicolo Foscari's name and the date (1492). The castle gets its name from Shakespeare's famous play Othello, which is set in a harbour town in Cyprus. In 1566 the castle was moved to the prison.
Othello castle also has a refectory and a dormitory constructed during the Lusignan period. In the courtyard, there are old cannons lying on the ground. One of them is made of bronze and is over 400 years old. There are some iron cannon balls lying about, as well as some stone balls that would have been used in a trebuchet. It is rumoured that the Venetian merchants, during the Ottoman siege, hid their fortunes down here and sealed the tunnels up. As they were not allowed to take anything with them when they were allowed to leave the city, these treasures are still supposed to be there.

History Makers | 1980-81 | Robbie James
Hopefully you will have read and enjoyed our series of features marking the 40th anniversary of Swansea City's promotion to the First Division in 1981.
John Toshack, Alan Curtis, Wyndham Evans, Jeremy Charles and Nigel Stevenson all generously gave their time to share their memories of that historic campaign, as the Swans reached the top-flight for the first time.
Curtis, Evans, Charles and Stevenson are four members of a five-strong group from this era who played for the club in all four divisions.
Sadly the fifth, Robbie James, passed away in February 1998.
James stands up there with the very finest players and servants the club has ever had.
He has the fourth highest number of appearances in Swans history with 592, and is second on the all-time goalscorers' list, behind only Ivor Allchurch.
His bust adorns the Liberty Stadium with the venue's Wall of Fame named in his honour.
Here, some of his former colleagues share their memories.
John Toshack
"Robbie could have played in any side. I was a great admirer of Robbie.
"He had his little niggling injury problems, but he didn't like to get treatment or kick up a fuss – he played games when he shouldn't have played.
"He had a strange way of running that made it looked like he was struggling, but he could move.
"The players loved him. You ask Curt or Charlo about Robbie, and they'll tell you how good Robbie James was.
"I was a great fan of Robbie."
"I have always said he was the best player I ever played with.
"He was more than just a midfielder, and he was so, so strong. His strength was his strength, if you like.
"He was not really quick, but he would move in such a way that he could bump people off him and carry the ball.
"He had a hammer of a right foot, he could smash the ball in from 25 yards with little problem.
"He could play in a number positions, he played up front for us, he played out wide, he played centre-half and full-back.
"He was actually a decent goalkeeper too, in training. If we would have needed him there he would have been fine.
"Robbie epitomised everything the club was about, and he was a real Swansea Jack.
"I am sure, if he had lived, he would been around the club for a very long time, as I have had the opportunity to do myself.
"It was a massive loss when he passed away, and that is one of the sad things when we have anniversaries like this.
"We have lost Robbie, Dave Stewart has passed away, so has Chris Marustik. Three big players, but none more so than Robbie."
Wyndham Evans
"What a player. Once Harry Griffiths took over he got people like Robbie into the team, he got that ball rolling.
"He was 16 and you could just give it to him and he would win the ball. He could whip in a great cross, or shoot and smash it in the top scorer. What a player he was.
"He died so young, it was awful. Robbie was manager of Llanelli at the time and I was assistant.
"We were playing Porthcawl, and on the morning of the game I would phone Robbie and that day he said to me 'I'm not feeling too well'.
"I asked him what he meant and he just said he wasn't feeling great. We were going through the team and he had himself in midfield and I said to him to take himself out if he wasn't feeling well.
"I didn't go to the game as it was my 25th wedding anniversary, we were having a family party and Robbie told me not to worry, and just to go and enjoy myself.
"I came home from the party and there were cars parked outside my house, and my son came out to me and told me Robbie had died.
"It was unbelievable, if I had been there maybe I could have made sure he did not play.
"It was so sad for that to happen. It was awful."
Jeremy Charles
"The incredible thing about Robbie was it felt like he had made nearly 600 appearances by the time he was 21.
"He was a fantastic player, he was strong as an ox, and he could score goals.
"He had everything, all the qualities you could ever want in a player and I would have thought he has to be one of the greatest players in Swansea's history."
Nigel Stevenson
"It was a really sad time when Robbie passed away, especially with him being so young.
"Alan Curtis was at the game in Llanelli and phoned me to say Robbie had passed away and I think everybody shed a tear.
"It was the same with Dai Davies and Dave Stewart. I have some great memories of training as well as socialising and playing together with them all.
"The three of them were a huge part of Swansea City Football Club. "

UAE extends $200 million aid to Pakistan for economic projects, announcement comes after Abu Dhabi Prince concluded one-day visit to country
World Press Trust of India Jan 03, 2020 13:50:20 IST
United Arab Emirates has extended USD 200 million aid to Pakistan for the development of the small and medium-sized enterprises in the country
Announcement came after Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan concluded his one-day visit to the country
During the visit, the prince met Khan and held talks on bilateral, regional and international issues
Islamabad: The United Arab Emirates has extended USD 200 million aid to Pakistan for the development of the small and medium-sized enterprises in the country, finance adviser to prime minister Imran Khan has said.
The announcement came after Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan concluded his one-day visit to the country on Thursday. The adviser, Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, on Thursday said "the money will be spent on small business promotion and jobs. This support is testimony to the expanding economic relations and friendship between our countries."

The Crown Prince directed the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development to allocate USD 200 million in order to assist the Pakistani government's efforts to create a stable and balanced national economy that will help achieve the country's sustainable development, Dawn News reported on Friday.
During the visit, the prince met Khan and held talks on bilateral, regional and international issues. The UAE is Pakistan's largest trading partner in the Middle East and a major source of investments. The UAE is also among Pakistan's prime development partners in the education, health, and energy sectors.
It hosts more than 1.6 million expatriate Pakistani community, which contributes remittances of around USD 4.5 billion annually to the GDP. This is the Crown Prince's second visit to Pakistan since Khan took office in August 2018. He had last visited Pakistan on 6 January last year, just weeks after his country offered USD 3 billion financial assistance to Pakistan to deal with its balance of payment crisis.
The Crown Prince's visit was considered by experts as an attempt to woo Pakistan against the backdrop of recent developments when Saudi Arabia and UAE apparently used pressure to stop Pakistan from attending the Kuala Lumpur summit held last month.
The summit from 19 to 21 December was seen by Saudis as an attempt to create a new bloc in the Muslim world that could become an alternative to the dysfunctional Organisation of Islamic Cooperation led by the Gulf Kingdom.

About Exhibitions
Please visit our exhibitions list to learn more about past, present and future events.
ISAW's Exhibitions program is driven by its research mission and the fact that it neither has nor plans to acquire an antiquities collection of its own. ISAW exhibits artifacts mainly for their ability to illuminate central questions about ancient cultures, especially issues related to connections between societies, whether religious, economic, political, artistic, or technological. Such investigations typically involve the archaeological contexts of objects.
Questions about this department should be directed to Hannah McDonald, Exhibitions Financial Administrator, at 212-992-7859 or hannah.mcdonald@nyu.edu.
The Department consists of the Associate Director for Exhibitions and Gallery Curator, Exhibitions Financial Administrator, Exhibitions Registrar, Managing Editor, and Assistant Curator. Guest Curators from other institutions may sometimes be asked to curate a specific exhibition. However, Visiting Research Scholars and graduate students who have an interest in object oriented studies and the presentation of artifacts are encouraged to speak with the Associate Director about the possibility of working on an exhibition and its associated public programming. Seminars and individualized guided studies focused around specific exhibitions as well as on museological practices will also be presented by the Associate Director and staff.
The Department intends to organize a major exhibition and focus exhibition each year. The larger exhibition may include international loans of excavated materials and will be accompanied by a scholarly catalogue. It is our intention to tour such an exhibition to at least one other venue to further ISAW's mission beyond the East 84th Street galleries. The focus exhibitions may highlight one object or a topic that does not necessarily involve object loans. Both types of exhibitions will be complemented by a wide range of public programming, from scholarly conferences and lectures, to broader cultural events that cultivate a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural heritage of the countr(ies) or region(s) with which the Department is working.

From the Philippines to Chesapeake, artist overcame hardships through art
By Barbara Woerner

The colors of spring flow across the paintings hanging on the Art Wall just inside the entrance to Chesapeake Central Library.
The exhibit, "God's Gift" by local artist Richard Fuertes, will be up through March 31. It includes colorful paintings of flower bouquets along with others that have peace-inducing muted tones.
One work shows a flotilla of sailboats with triangular sails that appear to be racing in a spring breeze. Another less active image captures a mother and daughter pausing long enough to stare directly into the viewer's eyes.
The library's Art Wall showcases revolving art and photography exhibits created by Chesapeake artists.
Currently, Fuertes, 48, who lives in the Indian River area, is the featured artist.
"It is my joy to do this for myself and others," Fuertes said. "I don't have a model in front of me or a picture in my head, I just sit down and do it. Whatever comes (on the canvas) through acrylic paint and oil pastels just comes.
"And it's definitely from the heart."
However, life hasn't always been as bright for Fuertes as his vivid paintings.
Fuertes grew up in San Narciso, Zambales, Philippines. In his late teens, he started nursing school at De Los Santos College in Manila.
"I was only three credits away from finishing my bachelor's degree when my mother died suddenly," he said. "We were so close and it was too much for me at the time."
The grieving process caused Fuertes to experience a mental breakdown, and he quit school and returned home.
"You have to understand that there's not a lot of resources or help where I was," he said. "I struggled and grieved and nearly starved at times."
Fuertes credits his survival to his faith in God and developing an interest in painting.
"I couldn't afford to buy brushes so I started finger painting," he said. "My first easel was just rough wood that you'd see in a barn attached together, and I used watercolors and charcoal because they were both easier to get."
Neighbors and acquaintances mocked his early efforts, he said.
"They made fun of me, but I kept going," Fuertes said. "It's definitely hard for an artist back home."
Fuertes left the Philippines and moved in with his father, Cirilo, in Barstow, California. Once there, he got counseling and joined a support group which helped him emotionally.
He also joined the Barstow Art Guild. There, his natural talent was further enhanced by professional instruction.
Six years later, he and his father moved to Chesapeake where other family members were already living.
"There's a lot of adjustment and culture shock when you first come to this country," Fuertes said. "But there is so much here as far as help goes."
"I always wanted to be an entertainer along with painting," he added.
And that's exactly what he does. His Facebook page contains videos of Fuertes singing.
He even took his singing talent to Richmond in 2014 to audition for "America's Got Talent."
"There was such a long line, and I sang a Christian song," he said. "And no, I didn't get a call back, but I knew I was a winner in my heart."
And Alice Dyer, who oversees the library's Art Wall, knew she had a winner for the space when she saw Fuertes' work.
"His exhibit has brought smiles and a lot of positive feedback," she said. "His work was very colorful and I liked it."
Dyer said she also knew Fuertes as a regular library patron.
"We're grateful for his participation," she said.
In the future, others may be grateful as well. Fuertes is working on his associate of applied arts degree in pre-art therapy at Tidewater Community College.
"I've expressed myself through the healing process," he said. "I see it like this, it's healing through art and art through healing."
And for Fuertes, the next logical step is to help heal others who have been through trauma.
"You know I started from scratch and had nothing," Fuertes said. "There was such a stigma back in the province toward all this, but look at all I have now."
