Antarctica, South Georgia & the Falkland Islands

The keen birders were the first away, on their mission to the Tierra del Fuego National Park in search of the Magellanic woodpecker. They were rewarded with sightings of both male and female woodpeckers, Andean condors, flocks of Austral parakeets, and a wonderful view of an Austral pygmy owl, as well as a wide variety of other birds to check off their lists. The majority of our group went off on a catamaran tour of the Beagle Channel, where we saw South American sea lions on offshore islands before sailing on to the national park for a walk along the shore and an enjoyable Argentinian BBQ lunch. Others chose to hike in the deciduous beech forests of Reserva Natural Cerro Alarkén around the Arakur Resort & Spa. After only a few minutes of hiking, we saw an Andean condor soar above us and watched as a stunning red and black Magellanic woodpecker flew towards us and perched on the trunk of a nearby tree. -

Turkish President Turgut Özal's Impact on Nursultan
TURKISH PRESIDENT TURGUT ÖZAL’S IMPACT ON NURSULTAN NAZARBAYEV’S PERCEPTION OF TURKEY* Nursultan Nazarbayev'ın Türkiye Algısına Tugut Özal'ın Etkisi Din Muhammed AMETBEK** Abstract Nursultan Nazarbayev as the founding President of Kazakhstan played a determinant role in the formation of Kazakh foreign policy. In this respect, the article examines Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey as a decision maker in foreign policy are based on observation rather than realities. Nazarbayev is aware of the fact that the national identity of Kazakhstan is divided between two competing poles; Russian and Kazakh, in a broader sense; Slavic and Turkic. From this perspective, Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey is significant as it is not only related to foreign policy but at the same time the national identity of Kazakhstan. The study argues that the President of Republic of Turkey of early 1990s Turgut Özal with his active diplomacy towards Kazakhstan contributed to the positive image of Turkey. The research concludes that close and reliable relations between Nazarbayev and Özal became the basis of a strategic part- nership between Kazakhstan and Turkey. Keywords: Turgut Özal, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Perception, National Identity Özet Kazakistan’ın kurucu Cumhurbaşkanı Nursultan Nazarbayev’in, Kazak dış politi- kasının oluşumunda belirleyici rol üstlendiği kesindir. Bu bağlamda, makale, Nazarba- yev’in Türkiye algısını ele almaktadır. Çünkü inşacı ekolün iddiasına dış politika kararları gerçeklere değil algı üzerine alınmaktadır. Nazarbayev Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliğinin Rus ve Kazak olarak, daha geniş kapsamda Slav ve Türk olarak yarışan iki kutba ayrıldığının farkındadır. Buradan hareketle, Nazarbayev’in Türkiye algısı, yal- nızca dış politika açısından değil aynı zamanda Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliği açısından da önemlidir. -
WIND SPEED POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT of SELECTED CLIMATIC ZONES of ETHIOPIA Endalew Ayenew1, Santoshkumar Hampannavar2 •
Endalew Ayenew RT&A, Special Issue № 1 (60) WIND SPEED POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT Volume 16, Janyary 2021 WIND SPEED POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT OF SELECTED CLIMATIC ZONES OF ETHIOPIA Endalew Ayenew1, Santoshkumar Hampannavar2 • 1College of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, Addis Ababa Science and Technology University, Ethiopia Professor, School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, REVA University, Bengaluru, India [email protected] Abstract In this paper the wind speed potential assessment of different climatic zones of Ethiopia are proposed. Statistical analysis of wind speed were carried out using Rayleigh and Weibull probability density functions (PDF) for a specific location. Real time Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) data was used for the wind speed potential assessment of three different climatic zones and to plot wind rose diagram. Keywords: Wind speed assessment, Statistical analysis, Wind Energy I. Introduction Wind is one of the globally recognized potential renewable energy source and it is important to have an inclusive knowledge about the wind characteristics for efficient planning and implementation of wind power generation plants. The wind energy assessment is very crucial and draws attention of researchers. Wind resources assessment is a basic requirement for the following reasons: i) wind power is proportional to the cube of the wind speed (10% difference in wind speed leads to 33% changes in wind power), ii) fluctuating wind speed and wind shears. According to the statistics the country has existing wind energy capacity of about 18.7GW with wind speed of 7.5 to 8.8 m/s at 50m height above the ground level. Wind energy is recognized throughout the world as a cost-effective energy plant. -

UN Session on GERD Dispute Strains Egypt-Russia Relations by Haisam Hassanein
MENU Policy Analysis / Policy Alert UN Session on GERD Dispute Strains Egypt-Russia Relations by Haisam Hassanein Aug 17, 2021 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Haisam Hassanein Haisam Hassanein was the 2016–17 Glazer Fellow at The Washington Institute. Brief Analysis Moscow is keen on courting Ethiopia, and Cairo is beginning to realize its partner’s limitations, yet the two governments will nevertheless continue cooperating on hot-button issues like weapons procurement. n August 5, Russian ambassador Georgiy Borisenko appeared on Egypt’s Ten TV to respond to local media O campaigns against his country. Much of the criticism has stemmed from Moscow’s unfriendly stance toward Cairo during last month’s UN Security Council deliberations on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Amid the strongest bilateral tensions seen in years, Borisenko emphasized four points: 1. That Russia will pursue a balanced policy regarding the GERD and will mediate disagreements between its allies in Cairo and Addis Ababa if asked. 2. That Moscow deeply appreciates its military cooperation with Egypt but is concerned about the country’s participation in a June military exercise in the Black Sea region alongside the United States and Ukraine. 3. That Russia still views the Egyptian-hosted East Mediterranean Gas Forum as an energy competitor but will consider joining as an observer. 4. That the “terrorist” Muslim Brotherhood media based in London is responsible for spreading false rumors about strained bilateral relations. The tensions first came to light on July 8, when Russian representative Vasily Nebenzya told the Security Council that diplomatic means are the only solution for disputes surrounding the GERD, and that “statements about using force should be avoided and prevented.” This line was interpreted negatively in Cairo because it directly challenged statements from President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who had been insinuating for months that a military confrontation was possible. -
