Kerk Motion Products has recently introduced a miniature addition to its ScrewRail linear actuator line. The entire ScrewRail line features a compact design for linear motion applications requiring extra guidance and support.
Originally available with outside diameters of 0.500′, 0.750′ and 1.00′, the Mini ScrewRail is available in a 0.375′ outside diameter. It said to be ideal for medical, data storage, semiconductor and photonics equipment applications where accurate positioning in a confined space is a primary design objective.
The Mini ScrewRail utilises Kerk’s Kerkote TFE coating on both the lead screw and guide rail, minimising drag torque and extending wear life. In addition, Kerkite high performance polymers make the entire assembly self-lubricating and maintenance-free.
As with the larger ScrewRails, the Mini ScrewRail is available with a wide range of screw leads, in both standard and self-compensating anti-backlash assemblies. All Kerk ScrewRails are available with standard mounting configurations, or can be modified to fit a customer’s specific design needs.

It turns out that Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner like to take their respective boyfriends on double-dates. It's Halloween season, so they went on an appropriately spooky double-date.
Kendall Jenner might be the supermodel in the family, but as you can imagine, people have some very specific questions about Kylie's appearance now that she's willing to go places in public.
We've waited a long time to see Kylie Jenner's baby bump.
Kylie Jenner is pregnant with Travis Scott's baby, and to be honest, that is still so bonkers to us.
In part because Kylie is only 20 -- and became pregnant at 19. That's just not something that we expect to happen to people with what are essentially unlimited resources and, you know, access to every form of birth control known to humankind.
But also in part because math is a thing, and based upon Kylie's due date, it appears that Kylie got pregnant after only one month of dating Travis Scott.
And that was after two years of her off-and-on relationship with Tyga.
(Tyga is not taking it well, either)
Regardless of how you feel about Kylie personally contributing to the ever-growing Kardashian-Jenner brood at an age when most girls are in college and when Kylie isn't even old enough to drink, you have to admit one thing:
You want to see Kylie Jenner's baby bump.
Kylie has gone to bizarre lengths to hide her baby bump, but now that she's going out in public, maybe she's done with the secrecy.
Us Weekly's insider describes Kylie and Kendall's double-date with their respective boyfriends, Travis Scott and Blake Griffin.
"Kylie and Kendall were both really loving and cuddly with their boyfriends. Both couples were almost always holding hands or had their arms around each other."
That's what you'd expect, despite
"Travis and Kylie were a little more cuddly than Kendall and Blake. They would kiss more and Kylie would be hanging on Travis."
Well, Travis and Kylie have a lot to be affectionate amount, we suppose.
"Kendall and Kylie took their boyfriends through the haunted mazes and were always clinging to their mans’ arm during the maze."
Well, there are people out there who will be relieved to hear that protective male, frightened female gender roles are still going strong with some young Millennials.
Obviously, everyone would very naturally be curious about what Kylie Jenner's baby bump might look like.
And Us Weekly's eyes on the ground were able to report on that.
"Kylie was in a very large oversize hoodie so it was impossible to see a baby bump."
Ugh, that is so frustrating.
Not that she wore a hoodie -- she can dress any way she chooses.
But it's weird that Kylie is being so secretive about a pregnancy that everyone knows about.
And, let's be honest, a pregnancy that Kris Jenner almost certainly arranged to have leaked when it leaked.
Does Kylie think that she's playing some sort of wink-and-a-nudge game with the media and with her fans?
Or is this, to her, some sort of revenge for people always prying into her life?
For what it's worth, Us Weekly also reported about a few details about the date.
"Travis and Blake seemed to get along very well."
That's good. And, although Travis had famously compared Kendall and Kylie's sexual skills -- which is just super gross -- it's not surprising. They're dating a pair of sisters. You want to get along.
"Kylie and Kendall also picked up some milkshakes on their way out."
There's no telling if Kylie's having pregnancy cravings or not, but at least it sounds like she's following the no dieting while pregnant rule.

Godot is an open-source game engine that supports the creation of 2D, 3D, and mixed projects that runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and even Android. First released in 2014, it has gained popularity as a viable alternative to larger engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. Some well-known project created with Godot include Dungeondraft, Brotato, Dome Keeper and Sonic Colors: Ultimate.
One of the strengths of Godot is its user-friendly interface and intuitive design. The engine utilizes a node-based system and a Python-like programming language called GDScript, making it easy to create games and applications. It also has built-in nodes for 2D, 3D, and UI, which allows for minimal boilerplate code. Godot is a great choice for game development, especially for beginners.
The latest version of Godot, version 4, offers significant improvements over its predecessor, version 3.5. Godot 4 provides a more powerful and versatile game development platform with a wealth of new features and improvements to enhance the game development experience.
Some of the key features of Godot 4 include:
- A modern Vulkan renderer for improved graphics and performance
- Support for .NET 6, allowing developers to write scripts using C#
- An upgraded GDScript, the engine’s primary scripting language, with improved performance and syntax
- A high-performance physics engine
- Enhancements to multiplayer functionality
- A new 3D importer that supports glTF and Blender
- Countless other features and improvements
This tutorial focuses on getting you introduced to Godot 4. It touches lightly on some key aspects of the engine so you’ll be able to delver deeper in future tutorials. Here are some of the topics covered:
- Downloading and opening Godot
- Getting to know the user interface
- Creating nodes and scenes
- Running and instancing scenes
- Creating scripts
You can download the materials for this project by using the link at the top or bottom of this tutorial. It only includes the final project as you’ll be creating a new project from scratch yourself.
Time to get started with Godot!
To start off, download Godot 4 from its official download page: https://godotengine.org/download
After the zip has finished downloading, unzip the file and move the folder somewhere safe. Godot’s editor doesn’t need to be installed, so you can even put it on a USB stick or an external drive if you want. The next step is actually running the editor for the first time, how exciting!
Creating a Project
Open the Godot 4 folder and run the executable. Depending on your OS, this may be a .exe, .app or .x86_64 file. If this is the first time you’ve ever ran Godot 4 on your system, you’ll get a dialog window asking you if you wish to explore the example projects. Click the Cancel button to decline and continue to the Project Manager.
The Project Manager lets you open and create Godot projects. It has two tabs:
- Local Projects: These are projects that are stored on your device. Any new projects you create will show up here. You can also import existing projects to add them to the list.
- Asset Library Projects: This is a list of templates, projects and demos pulled from AssetLib, Godot’s official repository of user-submitted assets. You can use these as a starting point or for learning how to use certain engine features.
To create a brand-new project, click the New Project button at the top right.
This will open up the Create New Project dialog window. By default, the project directory will be somewhere in your user directory. This will act as the root folder of all your projects. You can change it by clicking the Browse button to the at the right. I changed mine to C:/GodotProjects for example.
The next step is creating a folder for the project itself. To do this, fill in the name for the project name, “GettingStarted” and click the Create Folder button. This will create a new subfolder at the project path’s location you set up in the previous step.
Next, leave the other options at their default values and click the Create & Edit button at the bottom to generate a blank project and open the main editor.
If everything went well with the project creation, you’ll be greeted by Godot’s main interface. It may look daunting at first, but no worries, you’ll be navigating it like a champ in no time!
Godot’s editor is split up into areas, one for every cardinal direction and a center screen. I’ll give an overview of these in the following sections.
The top contains the following features from left to right:
- Menus: These contain project-wide settings and allow you to save scenes, set debug options and open the documentation just to name a few features.
- Screen tabs: This switches the content of the center screen to a different main screen. More on that below.
- Playtest buttons: These buttons allow you to run and stop the project or a specific scene.
- Renderer dropdown: This switches what renderer is used to display graphics, from the full-featured Forward+ at the top to the lightweight Performance mode.
The content of the center screen depends heavily on the chosen screen mode in the screen tabs. All screens besides AssetLib have the following features in common:
- Scene tabs: This lets you switch between scenes or create a new empty one using the plus button. By default an empty one is active. At the end is a maximize button to fill the application window with the center screen.
- Toolbar: A collection of buttons, toggles and menus that apply to the viewport. Here you can switch between selecting, moving, rotating and scaling selected nodes with the first four buttons for example.
- Viewport: The main view of the scene in most cases. This is a flat plane in 2D mode, a 3D environment in 3D mode and an integrated development environment (IDE) in Script mode.
The Scene dock at the top shows a hierarchy of the nodes in the active scene. When you have an empty scene open like you do now, it shows buttons to let you choose the root node type. I’ll explain what nodes and scenes are in Godot in the next section. For now, think of them as any objects used in your game, from sprites and 3D meshes to buttons and audio players.
The FileSystem dock at the bottom shows all files in your project like images, scripts and 3D models. The root of the project folder is
res://, which stands for resources. By default, Godot comes with a single image: the Godot logo. You’ll get familiar with it soon. :]
The dock on the right holds the Inspector, which allows you to view and edit the properties of any selected node or resource. Besides the Inspector, there are two more tabs: Node and History. The Node tab contains an overview of the selected node’s signals and groups while the History tab shows a list of the last actions you performed in the project, like moving a node or adjusting a setting for example.
The bottom panel hides the output window, debug console, audio mixer, animation editor and the shader editor. Any context-sensitive editors like the tilemap editor will also appear here when needed. The panel can be folded out by clicking any of the buttons.
Try clicking on the Output button for example to see Godot’s initial output.

HeliVert, a Russian Helicopters and AgustaWestland joint venture, and Exclases Russia are pleased to announce the signing of a contract between the JV and Exclases Russia for the supply of five AW139 helicopters which will be assembled at the HeliVert plant in Tomilino near Moscow. This contract, which includes a mix of five VIP and utility-configured helicopters, follows the first contract signed between HeliVert and Exclases Russia for Russian-built AW139 helicopters which includes an AW139 that is scheduled to be delivered in June. This purchase further expands the presence of the AW139 model in Russia where over 20 have been ordered so far and almost 50 across the CIS countries.
This medium multi-role helicopter is superior to all other twin-engine helicopters in its class in terms of speed, flight characteristics and passenger cabin size. Combining a streamlined fuselage, latest avionic equipment, spacious cabin and low acoustic signature, the AW139 sets a new standard in the market. The AW139 has a maximum cruise speed of 165 knots, maximum range in excess of 500 nm, maximum flight time of five hours and outstanding performance. It is the only helicopter in its weight class that can be equipped with a Full Ice Protection System (FIPS), which makes it possible to fly into known icing conditions. The AW139 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67C turboshaft engines, equipped with full-authority digital engine controls (FADEC) and each rated at 1,679 SHP for take-off. The maximum take-off weight is 14,000 pounds with an option of 15,000 pounds. The helicopter is configured for one or two pilots and can carry up to 15 passengers or 6-8 passengers in VIP/corporate
HeliVert is located in Russian Helicopters’ National Helicopter Building Center in Tomilino, Moscow region. The plant was constructed from scratch, and is now one of the most advanced facilities of the kind in Russia. According to the plans production of AW139 helicopters in Russia began in 2012. It is expected that up to 15-20 helicopters will be assembled annually. The number of personnel engaged in the production process will exceed 100 once maximum capacity is reached. The plant is intended to meet the growing demand for the AW139 in the Russian market as well as the CIS market in general. The first AW139 assembled in Tomilino performed its maiden flight in December 2012.

In 2016 Stefania Maiale had a kidney transplant due to a genetic disease at age 36. The elementary school teacher had a 6-year-old son at the time as well as a three-year-old yoga studio.
Maiale, who lives in Montgomery County, recalled it was a challenging time in her life, but felt fortunate to have yoga available as a tool to help her manage the demands.
“I was able to take what I had already known — the self-reflection, the breathing exercises,” she Maiale said. “Taking a step back with the physical meant I had to take a step forward with the mental part and breath work.”
Yoga helped her manage the stress through self-reflection and an acceptance that she couldn’t change her situation.
“It was, ‘how am I perceiving my role in this situation and how can I do it in a way that’s less stressful?’” she said. “A lot of it was just working on perception.”
She was first attracted to the practice of yoga in her 20s when she was introduced to it by her cousin. She had been going to the gym regularly but was looking for a different form of exercise that could give her a greater level of flexibility. She grew to like the personalization in the process of incorporating this new practice into her life.
“I saw where I was and where I could be with practice, but it was not a competition,” she said. “It was your own growth and you were in charge of it.”
Maiale, who is now 42, also learned to see how the practice of yoga could have a positive impact on her life beyond her time on the mat.
“It’s stressful being an adult and then being a parent and getting older,” she said. “It’s a lot to navigate when you don’t know what to do with it, between stress, work, family, growing and being an adult, paying your bills.”
Since she was already a teacher, she was drawn to getting her certification, so headed to The Berkshires in Massachusetts to complete it and eventually opened her own studio, Collegeville Yoga Bar, in 2013.
She decided to get two additional certifications centered on children’s yoga, to enable her to teach at an after-school club at her elementary school. It was also a way to address her adopted son’s emotional issues.
“My son had chemically dependent parents, so he has mood problems, attention problems and expressive language delay,” Maiale said. “
She felt yoga could offer him the necessary skills to cope.
“Sometimes even adults, but mostly children, it’s very hard to develop skills to calm down or regroup or evaluate,” she said. It’s helpful to do the different breathing exercises and poses – it’s very beneficial for that purpose.”
Given her son’s personal situation, Maiale learned about a camp, Camp Rainbow located in Schwenksville, that could offer him support.
“He has Medicaid for health reasons and it’s a summer camp for children on Medicaid,” she said. “That is how I had gotten to know about this camp.”
The camp’s mission is to provide a safe physical and emotional overnight camping experience to deserving children in Montgomery County. They aim to contribute to positive youth and adolescent development which, in turn, will help children become successful and productive adults.
Maiale’s son, Jacob, now age 11, began attending the camp and in 2018 she started volunteering her time there as a yoga instructor. She felt it could be helpful for the campers to enable them to better cope with the environment they live in or with any behavioral diagnoses they might have.
“In this demographic your home environment isn’t always the calmest scenario and sometimes it’s necessary to take yourself on a little retreat with yourself,” she said.
Yoga can teach someone, even children, how to do that.
“You can have that toolbox for yourself because life is hard and centering yourself is very calming,” she said. “Life is stressful for children too.”
For the past four years, Maiale has offered a one-hour class to elementary-aged children at least twice a week at the camp. Kim Murphy, the Camp’s Director said that by the second class the kids grow to love it.
“Yoga just adds to the whole purpose of why we do Camp Rainbow — to help kids,” Murphy said. “It’s really helping the children be able to look at themselves and afterward be able to say, ‘I do feel better after that and more relaxed after that.”
During their week-long stay, children get the opportunity to get exposed to many different things. Murphy said that a lot of the children don’t have access to things like yoga and going to a real camp.
“They do yoga, gardening, spend time in the creek, run in the field,” Murphy said. “They are having all of these first-time experiences and I’m really grateful that yoga can be one of them.”
Yoga addresses the social and emotional learning aspect of the camp.
“You really want to be able to recognize how others are feeling and how you are feeling,” Murphy said. “It’s fun to see the chain reaction of how good yoga is for you — it’s awesome.”
Camp Rainbow operates for six weeks during the summer months offering a six-day, five-night experience to selected children who may not otherwise have been given an opportunity to attend a summer camp. The Camp is situated on 18 acres on the picturesque Perkiomen Creek in Lower Salford Township. There are twenty buildings on-site for various activities including six cabins for sleeping, a new dining hall for meals, an arts & craft pavilion, outdoor basketball pavilion, woodworking pavilion, a medical building, and an office. The pool overlooks the lower field where many activities are held. Boating activities are also available and take place on the Perkiomen Creek. The Perkiomen Trail runs along the camp property.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Looking to get the Atlantic Sun Conference started on the right foot, the Lipscomb baseball team stumbled out of the gate in an 8-2 loss to North Florida on Friday night at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium in Nashville.
“You never think Hunter (Brothers) is going to go out there and give up a four spot in the first inning and then come out of the game after three and two-thirds with 11 hits,” said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forhand. “We’ve got to get that right, get the ball down and get some more swing and misses.
“We had a chance to help Hunter out a couple of times and made some mistakes but (Tyler) Burstrom came in and did a nice job of putting up five zeros on the scoreboard. He kept it close where we could have a chance to strike back but we’ve got to clean it up early in games and not play from behind.”
The Ospreys (17-7, 1-0) wasted little time getting on the scoreboard with a four-run top of the first behind four hits a walk and a costly Lipscomb (8-15, 0-1 A-Sun) error. UNF added a run in the second before the Bisons would get on the scoreboard in the bottom of the frame.
Lipscomb redshirt freshman shortstop Noah Chandler opened up the frame with a single to third before junior left fielder Chad Shannon walked to move Chandler into scoring position. That would prove to be large when junior right fielder Drew Adams hit a sky high pop into foul ground between the plate and first.
The wind caught the ball and drifted it back into fair territory and by the time it hit the ground Chandler was across the dish, Shannon was at third with Adams on first.
The Ospreys then put the game out of reach in the fourth inning with a three-run frame that ended the night for Lipscomb junior starter Hunter Brothers.
The Bisons would plate another run in the fifth as senior catcher Taylor Stewart doubled down the left field line to score Adams but that is as close as Lipscomb would come.
Adams led the team offensively with a 3-for-4 effort at the dish while the rest of the team went 3-for-28 collectively.
The Ospreys pitching staff including starter Tommy Organ had a lot to do with. Organ tossed the first 5.2 innings giving up two earned runs and five hits before the bullpen of David Trexler and Ryan McMahon combined to give up one hit the rest of the way.
Brothers took the loss surrendering seven earned runs and 11 hits in 3.2 innings of work. The highlight of the night for the Bisons was the relief work of senior Tyler Burstrom, who tossed the final 5.1 innings allowing only two hits.
The series continues on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. between the two A-Sun foes.

Rwanda has drastically reduced, by 54%, the importation of gases known as ‘hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) that deplete ozone layer paving the way for implementing the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. Martine Uwera, from Rwanda’s National Focal Point of Montreal Protocol, told The New Times that the country has reduced the importation of HCFCs from 4.1 tonnes in 2010 to 1.89 tonnes currently. The the gases, which deplete the ozone layer, are used in air conditioners and refrigerators. The 2016 Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol which entered into force in 2019 is an international treaty-designed to phase out such powerful climate-warming gases by more than 80 per cent in the next 30 years. Once phased out, the gases could reduce 0.5 degree Celsius of global warming.


RIYADH: The Saudi Grains Organization (SAGO) and the National Center for Privatization (NCP) announced on Thursday that the Third Milling Co. (MC3) has been sold to a consortium of UAE investors.
The consortium, which includes Ghurair Investment (AGI), Al Rajhi Holding Group and Masafi, acquired MC3 following a competitive tender process led by SAGO and the NCP.
SAGO will continue to oversee MC3 in its remit as the regulator of the Kingdom’s milling sector and its main importer and supplier of wheat, barley and other grains.
The flour milling sector represents one of the key sectors for full privatization in line with Saudi Vision 2030, and the completion of the acquisition is a significant step in the country’s privatization agenda.
Commenting on the deal, John Iossifidis, group CEO of AGI, said: “The completion of the strategic acquisition of MC3 marks a milestone in the move toward the privatization of crucial sectors, and aligns to AGI’s strategy to support governments as they seek to enhance food security throughout the region.
“We are grateful to the NCP, SAGO and our consortium partners for their trust in our commitment to advancing the development of the grains sector. AGI has a long and proud history in the flour sector, having established Dubai’s first milling company in 1976. We look forward to bringing this experience to Saudi Arabia and leveraging it to spur the growth and diversification of MC3,” he added.
Djamal Djouhri, CEO of Al Ghurair Foods, commented: “Monetizing public assets is a key agenda item for governments across the Middle East, as is food security as they seek to boost competitiveness, product diversity and operational efficiency.
Esmail Al-Sallom, chief investment officer at Al Rajhi Holding Group, said: “This is a historic transaction which is a major step toward the Kingdom’s vision to increase private sector participation in the Saudi economy. Al Rajhi Holding Group aims to leverage on its experience … to improve operational efficiency and performance, drive new product development, enhance distribution networks, increase market penetration, and enrich the overall consumer experience.”
While the valuation of this latest deal was not revealed, Al-Raha Al-Safi Food Co. announced the acquisition of First Milling Co. (MC1) in January for $540 million, a deal also facilitated by the NCP and SAGO.
MC1 is the largest of the Kingdom’s four milling companies, and the sale was also part of SAGO’s planned privatization of Saudi flour mills and grain silos previously owned by the Public Investment Fund, the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.
Last month, the Saudi Cabinet announced plans to privatize 16 key industries, including in the environmental, water and agricultural, transportation, energy, industry and mineral wealth, labor and social development, housing, education, health, municipalities, Hajj and Umrah, communications and information technology, media, sports, interior and finance sectors.
“We are working with all the sectors targeted for privatization. Several projects have been recently selected and launched in … health, education, transport, municipalities, environment, water and agriculture and human resources and social development,” Hani Alsaigh, director general of strategic communication and marketing at the NCP, told Arab News.
In January the NCP announced it had raised SR3 billion ($800 million) in revenue from sale of state assets in 2020 and aimed to make approximately SR15 billion or more in 2021

One of the highlights of US President Joe Biden’s trip to the Middle East earlier this month was his direct flight from Tel Aviv to Jeddah, signifying the blossoming relations between Israel and some of the GCC countries. But even after this high level visit, the Saudi leadership is still cautious about bringing its relationship with Israel out of the shadows, as long as the Israeli–Palestinian conflict remains unresolved and the occupation of Palestinian land continues. There was generally much symbolism with many gestures of goodwill during this visit, but more significantly it highlighted the Biden administration’s difficulties in reconciling the contradictions and paradoxes in its policies towards the region, and in regaining credibility for US policies among many he met with during his visit; hence his meetings were doomed from the outset to achieve no more than limited and sporadic success.
Since Biden and his team entered the White House, they have been forced to conduct a salvage operation after the unprecedentedly shambolic and damaging time of his predecessor in office, while also introducing a new agenda. The situation was made worse by one of the most toxic election campaigns in history, followed by a concerted attempt to question the legitimacy of the election’s outcome, and culminating in the 6 January insurrection. From the very outset, the new administration has had to deal with a host of urgent domestic and international issues. The country and the rest of world were still grappling with rebooting lives and economies while a devastating global pandemic was still raging; climate change continued to approach the point of no return; relations with allies in NATO had to be resurrected after the damage inflicted on them by the Trump administration; and to top all that, Russia, with its aggression in Ukraine, presented a new challenge that required an instant and powerful response. Whereas the new administration has highlighted China as the primary source of threat to the US, in order to regain any credibility in the international arena, a response to Russia’s extreme belligerence – which was as much an attack on western values and economic resilience as it was on Ukraine – was vital. Under these circumstances, the Middle East was perceived to be a lesser priority.
It has taken too long for the current US administration to realize that whatever shift in emphasis Washington might feel necessary in its handling of world affairs, it neglects the Middle East at its peril. There is no promise of instant success, if any at all, when dealing with the Middle East; in the past, the region consumed much time and resources from previous administrations while creating a sense of frustration and hopelessness around attempts to either resolve conflicts or advance American interests and values. Much of the frustration has been mutual. But whatever America’s view of the Middle East, turning its back on it can only stall the very issues that the US would like to advance, and so harm its interests.
The first wakeup call came last May when hostilities broke out between Israelis and Palestinians, which spread from Jerusalem to inside Israel and ended in an almost full-blown confrontation with Hamas in Gaza, demonstrating to Washington that this and other flashpoints in the region can affect its allies and with it America’s interests. Furthermore, the Trump administration left a problematic legacy to the efforts to stop Iran’s march towards nuclear military capability by withdrawing from the 2015 agreement (JCPOA) reached between Tehran and the P5+1. This is an ongoing worry for America’s allies in the region, with Israel maintaining its low intensity, covert and at times more overt, hostilities with Iran. In the psychological war between these two nemeses, Israel constantly gives the impression, for the benefit of the Iranian regime, that it has the military capability, and if need be the will, to devastatingly reverse that regime’s nuclear programme. The shadow of such a military operation, with its unforeseen consequences, looms dangerously over the region along with Iran’s continuing efforts to acquire nuclear military capability. Moreover, stability in the Middle East and North Africa is threatened by civil wars with heavy external involvement, whether in Yemen, Syria or Libya, and by extremism that also has a detrimental impact on America’s need to ensure the flow of oil and natural gas from the region, to guarantee the security and wellbeing of Israel, and to ensure that no rival global power is in a position to pose a threat to its interests in the Middle East. During his 2020 election campaign, Biden claimed that his “foreign policy agenda will place the United States back at the head of the table, in a position to work with its allies and partners to mobilize collective action on global threats.”
While many want to see the US regain a leading role in world affairs, this cannot happen without constructive engagement with the Middle East and ensuring political, economic, and social stability there, even if at times this will involve conducting frank conversations with leaderships across the region on issues of contention. There is little doubt that the war in Ukraine and the resultant harm caused to energy and food supply chains has contributed to Washington’s rethinking on the Middle East, or at least has induced some reality checks on how best to engage with the Middle East.
Beyond the usual razzmatazz, the glitzy receptions and speeches laced with lip service and truisms, the sum of meaningful achievements of Biden’s trip was rather limited. Part of this had to do with the timing of the visit, right after the collapse of Israel’s fragile coalition government and the appointment of caretaker prime minister Yair Lapid, less than two weeks before Biden’s arrival in Tel Aviv, on what counts in Israel’s calendar as the most notable of visits by a foreign dignitary. Biden’s trip also took place during the current run-up to America’s mid-term elections, a time when the president’s eye is more on how his words and actions might affect the second half of his term and his chances to win a second term. Biden was forthright on the eve of his visit to the Middle East: “Its energy resources are vital for mitigating the impact on global supplies of Russia’s war in Ukraine. And a region that’s coming together through diplomacy and cooperation—rather than coming apart through conflict—is less likely to give rise to violent extremism that threatens our homeland or new wars that could place new burdens on U.S. military forces and their families.” The only unexpected aspect of this statement was that it took the current decision makers in Washington that long to reach such an insight. His expressions of commitment to the security and wellbeing of Israel, repeated before and after arriving in Israel, are genuine, but Biden is less believable when he talks about restoring ties with the Palestinians, or of his support for the two-state solution as guarantor of peace, prosperity, and stability for both nations. He might think so, but his administration is utterly reluctant to take the necessary measures to turn his words into a reality.
Searching for an increase in oil production was a major motivation for Biden’s visit to Saudi Arabia and meeting with GCC leaders. Without pushing down prices at the pump before the forthcoming mid-term elections, at a time when Biden’s ratings are already low, Democrats might suffer at the ballot box come November. Moreover, the containment of Iran has become a leitmotif in bringing back together the US and the Middle East and in building bridges with Israel. Yet, because of the unresolved Israeli–Palestinian issue, any progress in the normalising of relations between the Jewish State and the Arab world has stalled for now. Biden reiterated that US commitment to a two-state solution “has not changed”, but that the “ground is not ripe” for it, which for all intents and purposes leaves his commitment hollow, resulting in a lukewarm reception to the US president when he arrived in Palestine for meetings, in which the general mood ranged from complete apathy to despair to anger. Under these circumstances there is hardly an audience, either in Washington or Israel, for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ pledge at their press conference that “the opportunity for a two-state solution on the 1967 borders may be available today,” mixed with his warning to Biden and by extension to Israel, that this possibility “may not remain for a long time.”
Meeting President Abbas in Bethlehem and visiting the Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem without the company of Israeli officials, were positive signs of resuming a dialogue with the Palestinian leadership, and that in principle the US does not accept Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem. Furthermore, Biden’s pledge during his time in Palestine of $316 million in aid for the Palestinians, including for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) – an agency much maligned by Israel and its supporters in the US – was a welcome confidence-building measure, but among Palestinians they hardly instil confidence in Washington as an honest broker in their relations with Israel and even less regarding their national aspirations. For that they need to witness a US administration that is prepared to be more proactive in persuading Israel to curtail the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and considerably improve the daily lives of Palestinians who live under harsh occupation in the West Bank and under blockade in Gaza; and they also want Biden to do the decent thing and re-open the US consulate in East Jerusalem that serves the Palestinians in the city and the rest of the West Bank. When Biden left for the summit in Jeddah, he left the Israelis much more satisfied than the Palestinians with the outcome of his visit, but peace was the main loser.
To a large extent, the visit to Saudi Arabia was also too much about optics than resuming trust and cooperation between Washington and the Arab world. Despite some visibly tricky moments between Washington and Riyadh during the visit, there is a sense that the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia is gradually improving after a number of tense years, much of it dictated by global realities. However, the GCC countries played hardball, and Biden came away from the talks without an agreement on increased oil supplies, which almost instantly led to an oil price hike. The lack of faith in the US among America’s allies in the Middle East as a reliable partner runs deep, and was made worse by America’s hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan as well as the constant talk about the country’s attention gravitating towards the Indochina region, and of its inability to bring Israel to change its approach to the Palestinian issue. At this point, regional leaderships are expecting Washington to fulfil its side of the bargain first before they comply with the superpower’s requests.
On the eve of Biden’s trip, the rumour mill, much fuelled by the White House, suggested there would at some point be some dramatic announcement on a regional security alliance that would include Israel, but this never materialised. As a matter of fact, the joint statement following the US-GCC summit was entirely vague and far from the expectations created by the American president and his advisors. Instead, the Saudi leadership adhered to their position as expressed in the 2003 Saudi peace initiative that no major progress on its relations with Israel could take place until Israel changed its attitude to the Palestinian issue, and took steps towards bringing one of the longest conflicts in modern history to a just and fair conclusion. Consequently, despite the agreed commonality of interests in containing Iran’s nuclear aspirations and its subversive activities elsewhere in the region, cooperation with Israel will remain, at least for the moment, behind the scenes.
Moreover, there is much resentment among Gulf states towards US-imposed conditions on supplying them with weapons, which surfaced during Biden’s visit and is expected to remain an area of contention. This is a source of concern for Washington, as it could open the door for Russia and China to play a more active and influential role in the region, which is exactly what the US is attempting to avert. In his concluding remarks, the US president was unequivocal about such a possibility, declaring that the US “will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by China, Russia or Iran.” But this assertive talk is far from translating into a certainty unless GCC countries and the US rebuild bridges across a range of issues on which they differ and that were highlighted during this recent visit.
Despite intrinsic tensions during the summit in Jeddah, the agreement by all participants to provide $11 billion to ensure food security in the Middle East and North Africa region is a significant development in terms of humanitarian help and regional stability, especially at a time when food prices are soaring. Allowing, at least implicitly, for Israeli airplanes to possibly use Saudi airspace, is not an insignificant gesture towards the US and the Jewish State, but far from what Israel wished for.
President Biden’s visit was not a tour de force, but it created some momentum and highlighted areas of common interest as much as some fundamental differences. One insight which hopefully Biden and his team took with them as they left the region is that whatever other international priorities the administration has, turning its back on the Middle East and North Africa would be a mistake that would come to haunt the US and its interests. Instead, for America to regain its prominent position vis-à-vis the MENA region will require an ongoing, frank, and honest engagement, not just a quick visit.

Last fall I took the B&W challenge on Facebook and took pix of my everyday life in black and white instead of in color. I loved the focus on shapes and the balance of light and dark. The idea was not to include any people in the photos.
And I can see why not. There is just something about color that brings people to life. That is why our antique black and white or sepia photos of ancestors are wonderful to have, but really just give us an “outline” of the individuals.
So I asked Val Erde at Colouring the Past to take Celia Goodstein Scheshko’s photo and add color. Wow, look at the difference!
Here is the original image:
And here is the photo after Val’s work on it.
See how pretty she looks! And now those nifty two-toned boots show up even better.
I feel myself getting hooked on this. I wish I could have all my old photos colored!

Leaders from 196 countries are meeting in Glasgow in November for a major climate conference. They are being asked to agree action to limit climate change and its effects, like rising sea levels and extreme weather. More than 120 politicians and heads of state are expected for the three-day world leaders’ summit at the start of the conference. The event, known as COP26, has four main objections, or “goals”, including one that goes under the heading, ‘work together to deliver’ writes journalist and former MEP Nikolay Barekov.
The idea behind the fourth COP26 goals is that the world can only rise to the challenges of the climate crisis by working together.
So, at COP26 leaders are encouraged to finalise the Paris Rulebook (the detailed rules that make the Paris Agreement operational) and also accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis through collaboration between governments, businesses and civil society.
Businesses are also keen to see action taken in Glasgow. They want clarity that governments are moving strongly towards achieving net-zero emissions globally across their economies.
Before looking at what four EU countries are doing to meet the fourth COP26 goal, it is perhaps worth rewinding briefly to December 2015 when world leaders gathered in Paris to map out a vision for a zero-carbon future. The result was the Paris Agreement, an historic breakthrough in the collective response to climate change. The Agreement set long-term goals to guide all nations: limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius and make efforts to hold warming to 1.5 degrees C; strengthen resilience and enhance abilities to adapt to climate impacts and direct financial investment into low emissions and climate-resilient development.
To meet these long-term goals, negotiators set out a timetable in which each country is expected to submit updated national plans every five years for limiting emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. These plans are known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs.
Countries gave themselves three years to agree on the implementation guidelines — colloquially called the Paris Rulebook — to execute the Agreement.
This website has looked closely at what four EU member states – Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Turkey – have, and are, doing to tackle climate change and, specifically, on meeting the objectives of Goal No 4.
According to a spokesman for the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water, Bulgaria is “over-achieved” when it comes to some climate targets at national level for 2016:
Take, for example, the share of biofuels which, according to latest estimates, accounts for some 7.3% of total energy consumption in the country’s transport sector. Bulgaria has, it is claimed, also exceeded national targets for the share of renewable energy sources in its gross final energy consumption.
Like most countries, it is being impacted by global warming and forecasts suggest that monthly temperatures are expected to increase by 2.2°C in the 2050s, and 4.4°C by the 2090s.
While some progress has been made in certain areas, much more still has to be done, according to a major 2021 study on Bulgaria by the World Bank.
Among a long list of recommendations by the Bank to Bulgaria is one that specifically targets Goal No 4. It urges Sophia to “increase participation of the public, scientific institutions, women and local communities in planning and management, accounting for approaches and methods of gender equity, and increase urban resilience.”
In nearby Romania, there is also a firm commitment to fighting climate change and pursuing low carbon development.
The EU’s binding climate and energy legislation for 2030 requires Romania and the other 26 member states to adopt national energy and climate plans (NECPs) for the 2021-2030 period. Last October 2020, the European Commission published an assessment for each NECP.
Romania’s final NECP said that more than half (51%) of Romanians expect national governments to tackle climate change.
Romania generates 3% of the EU-27’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and reduced emissions faster than the EU average between 2005 and 2019, says the commission.
With several energy-intensive industries present in Romania, the country’s carbon intensity is much higher than the EU average, but also “decreasing rapidly.”
Energy industry emissions in the country fell by 46% between 2005 and 2019, reducing the sector’s share of total emissions by eight percentage points. But emissions from the transport sector increased by 40% over the same period, doubling that sector’s share of total emissions.
Romania still relies to a great extent on fossil fuels but renewables, along with nuclear energy and gas are seen as essential to the transition process. Under EU effort-sharing legislation, Romania was allowed to increase emissions until 2020 and must reduce these emissions by 2% relative to 2005 by 2030. Romania achieved a 24.3% share of renewable energy sources in 2019 and the country’s 2030 target of a 30.7% share is focused mainly on wind, hydro, solar and fuels from biomass.
A source at Romania’s embassy to the EU said that energy efficiency measures centre on heating supply and building envelopes along with industrial modernisation.
One of the EU nations most directly impacted by climate change is Greece which has this summer seen several devastating forest fires which have ruined lives and hit its vital tourist trade.
Like most EU countries, Greece supports a carbon neutrality objective for 2050. Greece’s climate mitigation targets are largely shaped by EU targets and legislation. Under EU effort sharing, Greece is expected to reduce non-EU ETS (emission trading system) emissions by 4% by 2020 and by 16% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels.
Partly in response to wildfires that burned more than 1,000 square kilometers (385 square miles) of forest on the island of Evia and in southern Greece fires, the Greek government has recently created a new ministry to address the impact of climate change and named former European Union commissioner Christos Stylianides as minister.
Stylianides, 63, served as commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management between 2014 and 2019 and will head firefighting, disaster relief and policies to adapt to rising temperatures resulting from climate change. He said: “Disaster prevention and preparedness is the most effective weapon we have.”
Greece and Romania are the most active among European Union member states in Southeast Europe on climate change issues, while Bulgaria is still trying to catch up with much of the EU, according to a report on the implementation of the European Green Deal published by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). In its recommendations on how countries can add value to the impact of the European Green Deal, the ECFR says that Greece, if it wants to establish itself as a green champion, should team up with the “less ambitious” Romania and Bulgaria, which share some of its climate-related challenges. This, the report says, could push Romania and Bulgaria to adopt best green transition practices and join Greece in climate initiatives.
Another of the four countries we’ve put under the spotlight –Turkey – has also been badly hit by the consequences of global warming, with a series of devastating floods and fires this summer. Extreme weather incidents have been on the rise since 1990, according to the Turkish State Meteorological Service (TSMS). In 2019,Turkey had 935 extreme weather incidents, the highest in recent memory,” she noted.
Partly as a direct response, the Turkish government has now introduced new measures to curb the impact of climate change, including the Fight Against Climate Change Declaration.
Again, this directly targets Goal No. 4 of the upcoming COP26 conference in Scotland as the declaration is the result of discussions with – and contributions from – scientists and nongovernmental organizations to Turkish government efforts to address the issue.
The declaration involves an action plan for an adaptation strategy to global phenomenon, support for environmentally friendly production practices and investments, and the recycling of waste, among other steps.
On renewable energy Ankara also plans to increase electricity generation from those sources in the coming years and to set up a Climate Change Research Centre. This is designed to shape policies on the issue and conduct studies, along with a climate change platform where studies and data on climate change will be shared – again all in line with COP26’s Goal No 4.
Conversely, Turkey is yet to sign the 2016 Paris Agreement but First lady Emine Erdoğan has been a champion of environmental causes.
Erdoğan said the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has dealt a blow to the fight against climate change and that several key steps now need to be taken on the issue, from switching to renewable energy sources to cutting dependency on fossil fuels and redesigning cities.
In a nod to COP26’s fourth goal, she has also underlined that the role of individuals is more important.
Looking ahead to COP26, European commission president Ursula von der Leyen says that “when it comes to climate change and the nature crisis, Europe can do a lot”.
Speaking on 15 September in a state of the union address to MEPs, she said: “And it will support others. I am proud to announce today that the EU will double its external funding for biodiversity, in particular for the most vulnerable countries. But Europe cannot do it alone.
“The COP26 in Glasgow will be a moment of truth for the global community. Major economies – from the US to Japan – have set ambitions for climate neutrality in 2050 or shortly after. These need now to be backed up by concrete plans in time for Glasgow. Because current commitments for 2030 will not keep global warming to 1.5°C within reach.Every country has a responsibility. The goals that President Xi has set for China are encouraging. But we call for that same leadership on setting out how China will get there. The world would be relieved if they showed they could peak emissions by mid-decade – and move away from coal at home and abroad.”
She added: “But while every country has a responsibility, major economies do have a special duty to the least developed and most vulnerable countries. Climate finance is essential for them – both for mitigation and adaptation.In Mexico and in Paris, the world committed to provide $100 billion dollars a year until 2025. We deliver on our commitment. Team Europe contributes $25bn dollars per year. But others still leave a gaping hole towards reaching the global target.”
The president went on, “Closing that gap will increase the chance of success at Glasgow. My message today is that Europe is ready to do more. We will now propose an additional €4bn for climate finance until 2027. But we expect the United States and our partners to step up too. Closing the climate finance gap together – the US and the EU – would be a strong signal for global climate leadership. It is time to deliver.”
So, with all eyes firmly fixed on Glasgow, the question for some is whether Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and Turkey will help trail a blaze for the rest of Europe in tackling what many still regard as the biggest threat to mankind.

I have a very seventies kitchen, the only thing unlovable about my vintage house. Not being able to afford the vision I have for my kitchen at this time, I did a few less expensive updates such as a linoleum checkerboard floor and painting the walls and trim. The cabinets are smooth plain veneer and I would like to paint them, as I have seen on home networks. Has anyone tried this and most importantly, does it come out looking cheesy? I don't want any small aesthetic upgrades I do to look cheap but I do want to freshen up that room. Any help would be great!
DianeinFl: What color did you use on your cabinets? I bought black bin pulls years ago for my cabinets, but can't decide what color to paint them. So they sit in a drawer waiting for me to paint. I really like the color you chose.
Ok I know this is an older thread now, but I love the looks of the built in nooks over the cabinets. Reminded me of the appliance garages they build in with the roll tops on them, anyone use those? I would love to add one to my kitchen.
We did a lake home last spring. They wanted an appliance garage. Of course we built the thing from scratch & it is way more than a store bought one. Those so called designers don't have a clue!
