An Inclusive Commonwealth This Year’S Theme Celebrates the Diversity of the Commonwealth, Which Is Made up of More Than Two Billion People
An Inclusive Commonwealth This year’s theme celebrates the diversity of the Commonwealth, which is made up of more than two billion people. Every one of them is different, and each of them has something unique to offer. The Commonwealth Charter asserts that everyone is equal and deserves to be treated fairly, whether they are rich or poor, without regard to their race, age, gender, belief or other identity. The Commonwealth builds a better world by including and respecting everybody and the richness of their personalities. Commonwealth Day is 14 March 2016 thecommonwealth.org/inclusivecommonwealth #inclusivecommonwealth 1 4 27 50 52 32 7 3 23 9 26 11 30 43 8 39 2 6 53 15 29 45 47 18 36 28 24 10 41 24 14 37 35 40 25 20 The Commonwealth is made up of 12 49 38 48 53 countries around the world 5 22 42 19 31 16 46 13 The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 51 34 independent countries spread over every continent 33 and ocean. Its two billion people, who account for nearly 44 21 30 per cent of the world’s population, are in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Americas, Europe and the Pacific. 17 They are of many faiths, races, languages and cultures.

Strengthening Strategic Trade Controls in the Caribbean
Provisional programme Strengthening strategic trade controls in the Caribbean: preventing WMD proliferation and safeguarding borders Tuesday 4 – Thursday 6 October 2016 | WP1505 To be held in Bridgetown, Barbados Since the CARICOM-UNSCR 1540 Programme convened the forum on Public-Private Partnerships to Implement UNSCR 1540 in October 2013, CARICOM Member States have consistently expressed their desire to receive technical assistance in order to develop the needed regulatory infrastructure and enforcement capacity to effectively control strategic trade. These requests were again tabled at the recent Commodity Identification Training workshop in Kingston, Jamaica in October where the CARICOM-UNSCR 1540 and the National Nuclear Security Administration held a follow-up initiative to acquaint primarily enforcement and customs officials, with methodologies to identify nuclear and radiological commodities, particularly within a port setting. This forum will address this need by: 1. Developing a Strategic Trade Licensing Framework (STLF) that CARICOM Member States can leverage to prevent the movement of strategic commodities across regional ports and borders; 2. Draw up a Control List Construct (CLC) to assist CARICOM Member States in meeting obligations under UNSCR 1540; 3. Propose training in effective risk analysis and in targeting strategies to prevent the export, re-export, import, transit or transhipment of strategic goods and training in the utilisation of trade information/intelligence to detect suspect transfers and to minimise impediments -

The Cases of the Salvadoran Cities of San Salvador and Santa Tecla
Multiple Scenario Interface for Visualizing Urban Structures: The Cases of the Salvadoran Cities of San Salvador and Santa Tecla A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Ana I. Mojica Bonilla March 2009 © 2009 Ana I. Mojica. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Multiple Scenario Interface for Visualizing Urban Structures: The Cases of the Salvadoran Cities of San Salvador and Santa Tecla by ANA I. MOJICA BONILLA has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Margaret W. Pearce Assistant Professor of Geography Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MOJICA BONILLA, ANA I., M.A., March 2009, Geography Multiple Scenario Interface for Visualizing Urban Structures: The Cases of the Salvadoran Cities of San Salvador and Santa Tecla (164 pp.) Director of Thesis: Margaret W. Pearce This thesis analyzes the urban structure development of two Latin American cities through an interactive longitudinal visualization of the Salvadoran cities of San Salvador (the capital of El Salvador) and Santa Tecla. To what extent is a hypothetical model relevant to either of these two cities? How can a longitudinal, interactive visualization assist with an comparative analysis of the relevance of urban expansion models to the development of San Salvador and Santa Tecla? Can such a visualization contribute to the delineation of urban expansion policies for these cities? Archival files and maps were digitized and vectorized to create animated urban evolutions for each city. -
