USAID WB/G - MISSION HEADLINES In January, USAID's Office of Food for Peace in Washington made a $5 million in-kind contribution toward the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) Emergency Operations Appeal for the West Bank and Gaza, filling a gap in the amount of wheat flour to meet current needs. The food will be used as part of the Food-for-Work and Food-for-Training activities that target a category of Palestinians now referred to as the "new poor." This category, which represents some 340,000 Palestinians, is comprised of households that have lost their income, assets and livelihoods, and have a limited capacity to earn income. Recently, the WFP implemented a wide range of Food-for-Work and Food-for-Training programs with partners Catholic Relief Services, Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees and the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture, directly benefiting 220,000 of the "new poor." The timely arrival of this food will prevent a looming food pipeline shortage facing vulnerable Palestinian populations. www.usaid.gov /wbg/headline_153.htm   (301 words)

Universal Democracy? by Larry Diamond - Policy Review, No. 119 Already effectively implied by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, this right to democratic governance has been articulated more and more explicitly in the documents of regional organizations and affirmed by the growing number of interventions by those organizations and by the United Nations. By the late 1990s, the United States was spending over half a billion dollars a year to foster and support democratic development abroad. By any category that is meaningful in the world today, there is only one set of countries that is completely undemocratic: the Arab world. www.policyreview.org /jun03/diamond.html   (8522 words)

Amazon.com: Making Race and Nation: A Comparison of the United States, South Africa: Books Focusing on South Africa, Brazil and the United States, Marx illustrates and elucidates the historical dynamics and institutional relationships by which the construction of race and the development of these nations have informed one another. That Anthony Marx has chosen to compare racial policy in Brazil, South Africa and the US, seems to confirm the widely held world view that the US is one of the most racist nations in the world. Using a comparative historical approach, Marx analyzes the connection between race as a cultural and political category rooted in the history of slavery and colonialism, and the development of three nation states. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0521585902?v=glance   (1643 words)

Free Republic latest articles UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The U.N.-established panel that investigated the Iraq oil-for-food program will stay open until the end of the year to allow prosecutors access to its documents, the United Nations said on Friday. Under tax code dating back to 1979, people who inherit property after the death of their spouses are exempt from the category of "change in ownership," which would subject them to reassessment of the property's value. State Treasurer Phil Angelides said Friday that as governor he would close corporate tax loopholes and raise taxes on the highest income earners to increase education funding for K-12 schools, the same tax proposals he's made to cut tuition at California's public colleges. www.freerepublic.com   (5483 words)

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The initial scale was developed by Saffir while on commission from the United Nations to study low-cost housing in hurricane-prone areas. Severity categories are scaled somewhat lower than the Saffir-Simpson Scale, with a severity category 2 tropical cyclone being roughly equivalent to a Saffir-Simpson category 1 hurricane. It does not take into account rainfall or location, which means a Category 3 hurricane that hits a major city will likely do far more damage than a Category 5 hurricane that hits a rural area. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Saffir-Simpson_Hurricane_Scale   (597 words)

Thompson's books could fit into this category since his life and work have always been tightly bound together by a mythology largely of his own making. In 1922, 26 of the counties of Ireland were formed into the Irish Free State (the other six Ulster counties remaining part of the United Kingdom as Northern Ireland) and the state became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the name being officially changed in 1927. encyclopedia.worldsearch.com /united_kingdom.htm   (147 words)
