As the conflict escalated, and the humanitarian disaster with it, creating the biggest refugee crisis in our generation, our appeals for wider media attention, with some notable exceptions, fell on deaf ears with an apparent lack of interest on the part of the vast majority of television and radio companies and major newspapers. It was arguably only with the tragic death of Aylan Kurdi and the publication of pictures of his body on a beach in Turkey that Western public opinion and global media finally woke up. Immediately, media lenses focused sharply on the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean and both politicians and ordinary people had to respond. What about the many other humanitarian crises beyond the media’s radar? every two minutes another South Sudanese child becomes severely malnourished. But these stories are seldom told. But this incident only raised another question. What about the many other humanitarian crises beyond the media’s radar? In war-torn South Sudan, for example. This country is rarely in the limelight. In 2011, it gained independence from Sudan ending a generation of war. Two years later, the civil war broke out resulting in massive forced dis- placement and today the country is one of the world’s impoverished places. Every two minutes another South Sudanese child becomes severely malnourished. But these stories are seldom told. A South Sudanese colleague told me it was strange to see how things can change from one day to the other only because of international media attention. “In Europe,

Kastner This thesis examines in detail the Hardware-Accelerated Identification of Languages (HAIL) project. The goal of HAIL is to provide an accurate means to identify the language and encoding used in streaming content, such as documents passed over a high-speed network. HAIL has been implemented on the Field-programmable Port eXtender (FPX), an open hardware platform developed at Washington University in St. Louis. HAIL can accurately identify the primary languages and encodings used in text at rates much higher than what can be achieved by software algorithms running on microprocessors.

  • A Decade of Transforming Lives Through Media
    A decade of transforming lives through media TEN STORIES OF CHANGE bbcworldservicetrust.org 1 A locksmith in Dhaka, Bangladesh 2 A key that fits the lock The BBC World Service Trust is the BBC’s international development charity. In October 2009 we marked our tenth anniversary. This booklet tells ten stories of change across the decade. We use the media to enable people to have access to life-changing information that can help them survive, shape their lives and thrive. In one of the stories you’ll hear from someone who describes our work as “a key that fits the lock”. Through the BBC tradition of ‘Inform, Educate, and Entertain’, we can open the door for people to make choices and find their own solutions to the challenges they face. We have provided advice to mothers on their families’ health, helped citizens understand their rights in elections, we have rebuilt radio and TV stations destroyed by conflict, and been on the spot in the aftermath of disasters to provide radio lifeline services to those still reeling from the impact. We have used drama series, youth phone-ins, documentaries, adverts, TV and radio debates. We have helped support traditional media in the form of books and print journalism training, and harnessed new media channels such as interactive websites and mobile phones. Our approach is simple: assess local needs, produce programmes, materials or support in response, and work with local partners to build skills and services that will be sustainable long-term. We hope you enjoy this publication: it’s a snapshot of some of the millions of lives that have been transformed by media through our work.

  • The Idea of the Primary Stage in Alvar Aalto's Drawings
    Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminar – Why Aalto? 9-10 June 2017, Jyväskylä, Finland [Aalto in Beirut] Contribution, Collaboration and Continuity: The Case of Sabbag Center Roula El Khoury Fayad A/Prof of Architecture [email protected] School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Design Lebanese American University, Chouran Beirut: 1102 2801, Lebanon M +961 3 681 430 [Aalto in Beirut] Contribution, Collaboration and Continuity The Case of Sabbag Center Roula El Khoury Fayad, A/Prof of Architecture School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Design Lebanese American University, Designed in collaboration with Alfred Roth, the Sabbag Center is one of the last and lesser known works of Alvar Aalto. Despite distinguishable references to Aalto’s previous works, and in addition to the project’s systematic role in projecting an iconic image for Banque Sabbag, the reading of Sabbag Center is predominantly dictated by its scale and inscription within a larger cluster of modern buildings, and by its use as a significant social reference within oral histories about Beirut. This paper argues that the Sabbag Center largely contributed to the understanding of local economic and political context of the time – Lebanon’s modern history – and should therefore be addressed as such. The local significance of the building is legitimate reason to preserve the site. In the absence of any governmental initiative to protect modern heritage, Fransabank SAL, the private financial institution that presently inhabits the Sabbag Center, is in a position to actively safeguard the complex as part of an important area. fig.1 Sabbag Center, Alvar Aalto and Alfred Roth, 1967–1970 Beirut Local Context and Hamra Street Development Beirut flourished in the 1930’s.
