BASF extended its offer period to acquire Pronova BioPharma, a producer of omega-3 fatty acids.
BASF announced that it has extended its offer period to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Pronova BioPharma, a producer of omega-3 fatty-acids. The new deadline of Jan. 18, 2013 is the maximum extension of the offer period. BASF's cash offer stays at NOK 12.50 ($2.24) per share and remains subject to the terms and conditions stated in the offer document published on Dec. 5, 2012, including inter alia that BASF has received acceptances for more than 90% of Pronova's total share capital.
As of Dec. 19, 2012, BASF received acceptances under the voluntary offer for a number of shares representing approximately 67.2% of the issued shares and votes in Pronova. This figure includes a total of approximately 59.4% in Pronova's share capital that has been pre-accepted by majority shareholders and members of Pronova's board and management team.
BASF's offer received unanimous support from Pronova's board of directors, who have recommended its acceptance. The offer is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013, subject to fulfillment of all relevant offer conditions.
Michael Heinz, a member of the board of executive directors of BASF SE said in a press release, "We thank all Pronova shareholders that have been and will be supportive of our offer. With the chances but also the risks for the business of Pronova in mind, we firmly believe that our offer does provide full and fair value for all shareholders. We will maintain our disciplined financial approach to acquisitions."
To date, total acceptances received exceed two thirds of the share capital and votes in Pronova and the Oslo Stock Exchange has been notified according to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, Section 4-2 subsection (2).
Pronova's first commercialized product, Omacor/Lovaza, is an omega 3-derived prescription drug, which is approved in the European Union and the United States. Pronova's headquarters are in Lysaker, Norway,and its manufacturing facilities are in Sandefjord, Norway, and Kalundborg, Denmark.

Radiation Shielding Glasses
SCHOTT offers a range of radiation shielding glasses to protect personnel in situations where radiation is an issue. These glasses are designed to meet the challenging demands of operating in the nuclear sector, as well as protecting staff operating x-ray machinery and other medical equipment.
Developed specifically for use in analogue and digital mammography, RD 30® is the only monolithic x-ray protection glass with 0.5 mm Pb (at 6 mm thick or as 2x3.1 mm laminate). It can also be bent and molded into different forms, offering plenty of flexibility. SCHOTT can also supply the glass in the largest possible dimensions for every geometric configuration.
RD 30® offers a wide range of processing options, including mechanical processing (edge work, bore holes, cutouts), lamination, thermal toughening, bending, and processing into insulating glass units. In addition, RD 30® is extremely durable, with less flammability and more scratch resistance than acrylic.
- Can be toughened and processed into curved formats.
- Non-flammable and more scratch-resistant than acrylic.
RD 50® can be provided as a stock sheet or highly customized panel with boreholes and cut-outs, treated with cast resin or as PVB-film laminates, and processed into insulating glass. Like RD 30®, it's also non-flammable and more scratch-resistant than acrylic.
In addition, RD 50® Radiation Shielding Glass has a high density, so offers high x-ray absorption even with relatively thin glass. This special composition makes RD 50® suitable for PET and CT scan facilities. As a monolithic x-ray shielding glass, it offers the widest range of thicknesses, for use in windows, doors and panoramic glazing for analytical equipment.
- Non-flammable and more scratch-resistant than acrylic.
- High density means high x-ray absorption.
- Excellent for PET and CT scan facilities.
RS Glass Series
The five RS glasses – RS 253, RS 253 G18, RS 323 G19, RS 360 and RS 520 – have been specially developed for safety applications in nuclear energy production and nuclear waste treatment, and are optimized in terms of high initial transmission and radiation and discharge resistance.
They can be customized to provide bespoke radiation shielding windows for different types of nuclear facilities, and are supplied as finished blocks and plates or customized castings, ready for installation into shielding window frames. SCHOTT achieves high standards of quality by using the same manufacturing equipment and methods as it does with its advanced optical glass production.
- Developed to perform effectively in nuclear plants.
- Optimized for high radiation resistance.
- Bespoke options for a range of different facilities.

Was that a pony?
He would even mark a target or two, usually the oh so annoying runecasters. I relearned that tranq shot dispells magic, having forgotten hunters had that ability since it was removed from arcane shot. Great against the shields. And convenient since the runecasters and their bubbles were marked as the kill target. Well done!
Sounds fairly competent, right?
He had a pony, and as we all know, only complete idiots buy the pony. I'm confused as to how such a moron, such a fool, could manage to tank the instance without problems. Maybe blanket generalizations of intelligence and competence are inaccurate when based on buying one item. Nah, that doesn't make any sense. With something like that, the world couldn't be easily split into us and them. Nope, the warrior must have been an idiot. I bet he was botting. That fits perfectly since it also shows he's lazy and cheats.
There we go, it's all worked out: only idiots buy ponies and if they appear to be good, it's because they're botting, so report them to a GM. Makes perfect sense.

At least he ain't posting a blog about a horse, claiming that everyone who blogs about that horse are mindless sheep and social idiots...
(..that does makes sense!!) - April 21, 2010 at 11:08 AM

Of course it makes sense; it's a post about posts, which makes it okay. It's just like when the media talks about the media frenzy about stupid topics. "Is Tiger Wood's affair getting too much attention? Find out, next, when we analyze his affair and the media reaction!" See, perfectly sensible and not at all feeding the hysteria.

I wrote idiots and kids buy it. Some kids are pretty good in video game, yet lack common sense and buy an imaginary horse. Or rather get it for free after whining for it to their parents.
- April 21, 2010 at 12:14 PM
- Klepsacovic said...
What's the difference between an imaginary horse and a subscription to an imaginary world? Certainly the horse has much less value, so there are major diminishing returns on the extra money spent, but that's just from my perspective. Maybe other people place greater value in horses than I do, or have much more money and are already hitting DRs; who are we to judge that? After all, everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.

Well, let's see, I'm nearly thirty and have a non-parent's larger disposable income, and I have a sparkly horse and a warrior tank that still hasn't seem some instances, so I must be...
Oh. Oh damn. My life is a lie. :( - April 21, 2010 at 2:55 PM

We forget though that it's the smart people who get other people to buy ponies for them! :P
- April 21, 2010 at 3:00 PM
- Klepsacovic said...
Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered with that other post today. No one sees to have noticed it!
@River: Yes, risking losing everything is smarter than 'wasting' $25.
@LabRat: Quit your job and avoid the shame when your coworkers find out.
@We Fly Spitfires: But only a social would give a gift. You have a social in your gene pool! - April 21, 2010 at 8:23 PM
- Quicksilver said...
The post and your answers look like those of a spoiled brat who, when bothered by smth, takes it literally ad-nauseam, exagerating it while covering his ears to the reason surrounding him.
Buying a sparkling virtual horse is irrational, for pretty much 99% of the population of the planet. The exceptions are only those filthy rich people, who have bought already what they could and couldnt dream of and have nothing to spend their pile of money on. But I doubt those people play WoW.
Idiot is just another synonym for irrational. Even more, being irrational does not necessarily make one mentally retarded to be unable to control the easy tasks of playing a WoW character....
Paying money for a virtual world: well, let's see: this virtual world takes development time to create.
Anyway, I found Gevlon's post pretty sensitive to begin with. And its message its pretty clear: "stop caring about that damn horse and the idiots who bought it". I can't think of a better way to put it. Can you? - April 22, 2010 at 2:52 AM
- Klepsacovic said...
Yes, it probably is irrational. I imagine there are ways to spend $25 which would yield greater happiness gains. The unfortuante fact is that this applies to just about everything we spend time and money on. Did you really gain much marginal happiness from the time spent responding to a whiny brat?
Sensitive generally doesn't involve calling people idiots. A clearer way to put it would be "Is the horse a better value than other $25 purchases?" That would avoid triggering defensive reactions and make it more likely that people would think about purchases in the future. - April 22, 2010 at 10:08 AM

Working with Facebook Pages
- What Is a Facebook Page?
- Visiting a Facebook Page
- Creating Your Own Facebook Page
- Customizing Your Page
- Selecting Page Elements
- Final Thoughts
Individuals on Facebook are represented by their profile pages; other users become "friends" with a person to receive his or her status updates.
Businesses, celebrities, and public figures, however, aren't really "individuals" in the Facebook universe, and as such don't have individual profile pages or friends. Instead, high-profile Facebook users can create special Facebook Pages that serve as their public profiles on the popular social networking site.
What Is a Facebook Page?
What Facebook currently calls a Page (what it used to call a "fan page") is essentially a profile page for very popular users. It's much like a regular profile page, but optimized for communication with large numbers of viewers.
With a normal Facebook profile page for individuals, you try to get people to be your "friends." With a Facebook Page (note the capital "P"), you get people to "like" the Page and thus become fans. People who like a particular Page can read all about the person or organization, contributed to hosted discussions, view photos and videos, and receive all manner of status updates.
Who can create a Facebook Page? You can create Facebook Pages for businesses, brands, and products; for musicians, actors, and other celebrities; for politicians, public servants, and other public figures; and for school classes, public organizations, special events, and social causes.
(By the way, Facebook requires you to create a Page[md]as opposed to a personal profile[md]if you have more than 5,000 friends. This encourages public figures and companies to go the Page route over a traditional profile page.)
For example, Starbucks is a business that has a Facebook Page (see Figure 1); it uses its Page to announce special deals and upcoming events. Popular musician James Taylor has a Facebook Page; he uses it to talk with his fans, announce concert dates, and post music, photos, and videos from his tours. Politician Sarah Palin has a Facebook Page (with more than 2.7 million followers!), which she uses to post statements and notes, as well as solicit donations (see Figure 2). Movie reviewer Roger Ebert even has his own Facebook Page, where he posts random thoughts and links to his movie reviews.
Figure 1 The Facebook Page for Starbucks.
Figure 2 The Notes tab on Sarah Palin's Facebook page.
If you're a business or celebrity, a Facebook Page is a great way to keep in touch with your most loyal customers and fans. You can use your Page to announce new products and promotions, hold contests, and solicit customer opinions.
If you're a fan of a business or celebrity, a Facebook Page is a great way to connect with those you like to follow. You can find out the latest news as well as engage in interesting discussions with other fans.

Twitter isn't having a good year. Over the past twelve months, the company has fessed up to half a dozen bugs and blunders that have left the company with egg on their faces and have earned the ire of their burgeoning user base.
In late 2018, the company disclosed a bug that shared a variety of private user data with third party app developers.
Then in January 2019, the company disclosed the existence of a bug that had been sharing a small percentage of private tweets going back more than five years.
Then in May 2019, the company disclosed a new bug that shared the location data of an unknown number of iOS users with "a trusted partner."
On top of that, the month of August 2019 saw the company fess up to two separate issues. One issue involved sharing user data with advertising partners without their users' express consent. The other was where advertisers made inferences about a user's device in order to custom-tailor advertising. That, again, was without the express consent of the users.
Which brings us to this most recent blunder. According to a spokesperson for Twitter, the company used phone numbers provided by its user base for two-factor authentication, along with email addresses, to display targeted ads. This is the exact behavior that Facebook recently got raked over the coals for.
It gets worse though, because the company apparently has no data, and no way to tell exactly how many of its users saw their information exposed and misused in this manner.
The company issued a formal statement, apologized for the error, and said that the issue had been fixed as of September 17th. That's small consolation to their users, for whom this kind of thing is fast becoming the norm. It's enough to make some people rethink using the platform altogether, and rightly so.

When it comes to shift workers communicating with each other in the workplace when they are not face-to-face, gone are the days of cork announcement boards. Now, the messaging app is the medium, and today one of the startups tackling that opportunity in a unique way has raised a round of funding to get to the next stage of growth.
Crew, a chat app that specifically targets businesses that employ shift workers who do not typically sit at computers all day, has now raised $35 million in Series C funding from DAG Ventures, Tenaya Capital, and previous backers Greylock Partners, Sequoia Capital, Harrison Metal Capital and Aspect Ventures. With the funding news, it's also announcing the launch of a new feature called Crew Enterprise, which helps businesses better manage messaging across large groups of these workers.
The funding and new product come on the heels of the company hitting 25,000 organizations using its service — many of them multi-store retailers with an emphasis in the food industry, household names like Domino's Pizza and Burger King — with some strong engagement. Its users are together sending some 25 million messages or responses to other messages each week, on average six times per day per user, with more than 55 percent of its whole user base logging in on an average day.
There are quite a lot of messaging apps out in the market today, but the majority of them are aimed at so-called knowledge workers, people who might be using a number of apps throughout their day, who often sit at desks and use computers alongside their phones and tablets. Crew takes a different approach in that it targets the vast swathe of other workers in the job market and their priorities.
As it turns out, co-founder and CEO Danny Leffel tells me that those priorities are focused around a few specific things that are not the same as those for the other employment sector. One is to get the latest shift schedules for work, especially when they are not at work; another is to be able to swap those shifts when they need to; and a third, largely coming from the management end, is to make sure that everything gets communicated to the staff even when they are not in for work to attend a staff meeting.
"Some of the older practices feel like versions of a Rube Goldberg machine," he said. "The stories we hear are quite insane." Shift schedules, he said, are an example. "Lots of workplaces have rules, where you can't call in to check the schedule because it causes employees to come off the floor. One hotel manager told us he couldn't hold staff meetings with everyone there because he runs a 24/7 workplace so some people would have to come in especially. One store GM from a supermarket chain told us that the whole store has only one email address, so when an announcement goes out, the GM prints that and hands it to everyone. And the problems just compound when you talk to them."
Crew is by no means the only business internal messaging service that is aiming to provide a product specifically for shift workers. Workplace, Facebook's own take on enterprise communications, has also positioned itself as a platform for "every worker," and has snagged a clutch of huge clients such as Walmart (2.2 million employees globally) and Starbucks (254,000) to fill out that vision.
Leffel, however, paints a sightly different picture of how this is playing out, since in many cases even when a company has been "won" as a global customer that hasn't translated to a global roll out.
"Starbucks is theoretically using Workplace, but it's been deployed only to managers," he said. "We have almost 1,000 Starbucks locations using Crew. We knew we had a huge presence there, and we were worried when Facebook won them, but we haven't seen even a dent in our business so far."
Leffel has had previous some experience of getting into the ring with Facebook — although it hasn't ended with him the winner. His previous startup, Yardsellr, positioned itself as the "eBay of Facebook," working as a layer on top of the big social network for people to sell items. It died a death in 2013, when Facebook took a less friendly turn to Yardsellr using Facebook's social graph to grow its own business (it was a time when it was cutting off apps from Zynga for similar reasons). Today, Facebook itself owns the experience of selling on its platform via Marketplace.
Crew seems to have found a strong foothold among enterprises in terms of its usefulness, not just use, which is one sign of how it might have more staying power.
A survey it conducted among 50,000 of its users found that 63 percent of leaders who use Crew report fewer missed shifts and 70 percent see increased motivation on their team. Crew worked out that among respondents, it is generating time savings of four or more hours per week for 93 percent of surveyed managers. And because of better communication, people are working faster when handing off things to each other on the front line, with a Domino's Pizza franchisee sped up delivery punctuality by 23 percent as one example. (The company offers services on three tiers, ranging from free for small teams, Pro at $10 per month per location, to Enterprise priced on negotiation.)
Crew's new enterprise tier is aiming to take the company to the next step. Today, Leffel says that a lot of its customers are buying on a location-by-location basis. The idea with Crew Enterprise is that larger organizations will be able to provide a more unified experience across all of those locations (not to mention pay more for the functionality). Managers can use the service to message out details about promotions, and they have a better ability to manage conversations across the platform and also get more feedback from people who are directly interacting with customers. Meanwhile, admins also gain better ability to manage compliance.
If some of this sounds familiar, it's not just because Workplace is the only one who is also targeting the same users. Dynamic Signal and Zinc (formerly Cotap) are two other startups that are also trying to provide better messaging-based communications to more than just white-collar knowledge workers. Crew will have its work cut out for it, but there is a lot of room for now for multiple players.
"We are seeing a shift in the marketplace, going from absolutely don't use your phone at work to don't use it when customers are present," Leffel said of the opportunity. "Some have started to change the rules to allow workers to use their own phones to perform price checks. We are solving for this evolving workflow."

This page catalogues some of my (more successful) CSS experiments — CSS/Exp stands for CSS/Experiments. The name CSS/Exp is modelled after Eric Meyers great CSS resource CSS/edge which has proven an important resource for many, with some advanced CSS designs of which especially the beautiful Complex Spiral page has influenced many people's webdesign, including mine. So a small tribute there.
I have definitely not been the only one to experiment with CSS in the past, and here is a shortlist of similar pages:
History and Context
Most of my CSS experiments were written in 2003, when I first started exploring CSS. I had been an Opera user for quite some time and Opera's new rendering engine Presto was becoming mature enough to support the various experimentations.
What attracted most of my interest was CSS generated content, and my enthusiasm was shared by Literary Moose (now known as Lofotenmoose) and we conversed a great deal about our experimentations with generated content. A lot of work on generated content is summarized in Moose's treatise on the subject. A further interest came in the form of CSS borders, or more specifically the slants. Tantek Çelik first explored this field with his fabulous CSS polygons. I also picked up the technique and started playing by using them for purely ornamental purposes, being one of the first to do this with CSS. Later I developed an increased interest in Opera Show and did some work on that topic as well, culminating in the Opera Show Generator.
In early 2006 I gave this section an overhaul and updated the experiments, and tried to standardize on the formatting of the explanations. I also tried to retrace the original date of the experiments for future reference. Not many experiments have been added in recent times, and I don't expect to do so in the near future as my interests have shifted elsewhere (I did anwer some CSS-related questions though). Nevertheless, when something comes up...
Experiments: Generated Content
Generated content is not widely supported in browsers, although it allows the author to add powerful and interesting effects to a page. Currently the Opera browser has the best support, which includes some aspects of CSS3.
- No Content, Only Style(April 22, 2003)
- Taking generated content to the extremes, this page provides the absolute bare minimum of markup and all content and style is provided by means of stylesheets.
- CSS Menu(March, 2004)
- Pure CSS menu with minimal markup, and interesting use of unicode character to introduce a linebreak.
- Automatic Captions(June 5, 2003)
- CSS allows to extract information from attributes, and use it in the generated content. This is put to use by creating automatic captions for tables and image.
- Accessible ID(October 25, 2003)
- Often one wishes to link to a specific section of a document, but it requires finding the ID of the specific heading. This technique shows the ID of a header when hovering over it.
- Scientific Publishing(May 19, 2003)
- Whilst writing an article on publishing scientific documents with XHTML & CSS I developed some interesting applications of generated content. They are all visible in the article: numbered equations, nested numbering of table of content, numbered headings and tables/figures.
- CSS Matrices(early 2004)
- Creating the effect of matrices with XHTML & CSS is here done by accurately positioning generated content.
- Pure CSS Rounded Corners(June 9, 2003)
- Using nothing but CSS, the effect of rounded corners are possible (although not practically useful).
Experiments: Opera Show
As Opera supports CSS page-breaks, it can be used to write slideshows in HTML: Opera Show. This feature was pioneered by Håkon Wium Lie. I really like this Opera feature and you can read more about it on my Opera page. I also developed some techniques which are especially useful for Opera Show.
- Scaled Background Image(December 23, 2003)
- Currently supported versions of CSS do not allow the scaling of a background-image to the dimensions of the object, or page. I developed a workaround that emulates the scaled background-image on the body of the document.
- Slide X of Y numbering(October 8, 2004)
Experiments: Pranks
Definitely not all CSS experiments need to be useful, and these pranks exactly fit that description. Just having fun with CSS.
- Light at the End of the Tunnel (May 3, 2003)
- My first experiment using 'slants', diagonal effects using CSS borders, was written shortly after I had deciphered Tantek's CSS polygons.
- CSS Tangram(November 1, 2003)
- Using CSS borders and with a lot of spare time on my hands I created a CSS tangram set. Have fun playing!
- CSS Billiards(October 30, 2003)
- In a moment of insanity I wrote a simple billiards table in pure CSS. For me writing a snooker table was a bit too much of a good thing, but Claire Campbell took up the challenge and made the CSS snooker table. She features more CSS border experiments on that site.
- CSS Art (1,2)
- Most people will be familiar with the Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan. I decided to recreate two of his works in CSS: the first CSS Art!?
- Border Mania (1,2,3,4)
- In an attempt to get an overview of how the various border-types combine, I made these pages. They are neither well done, or state of the art, but purely informative.
- 3D Bar Charts(October 27, 2003)
- This demo was derived from Literary Moose's CSS Chart demo. I added the 3D effects to the charts. This is once again a game of precise positioning.
Experiments: Various
Some experiments that do not seem to fit elsewhere.
- Multi-column Layout (October 31, 2003)
- The minute The Literary Moose wrote his the world according to table experiment, we started work on a multi-column layout. This is my ultra-quick attempt at a page with header, footer and 4 columns.
- Zoom-An-Image
- Whilst writing my M2 Tutorial I encountered the problem that I had a lot of screenshots which would destroy page layout when viewed on low resolutions. What I resolved to do was resize the images with CSS to the width of the text (by using
) and upon:active
the images would regain their original size. As a side-effect the page layout will 'jump' due to reflow after the image has been resized.

The basic Minimate figure design has a 2-inch tall body that resembles an extremely simplified human form with 14 points of articulation, higher than average for block figures. Lines of Minimates have been released for numerous comic(DC and Marvel), TV series, movie and video game licenses and are primarily released to specialty retailers and aimed at adult collectors.

My trip to San Francisco to attend UniForum'97 was very satisfyng as I got to see two great luminaries of our time--the Hale-Bopp comet and Linus Torvalds. Hale-Bopp was visible in the pre-dawn sky on March 12 and 13. Linus was visible at the Keynote speech on March 13 and was definitely the brighter of the two.
The president of UniForum, Tom Mace, was present to welcome Linus, and Douglas Michaels of SCO presented Linus with UniForum's Achievement Award. The award itself is a clear, pyramid-shaped trophy, about which Linus said he was pleased to have something "physical" to show for his work. Linus' acceptance speech was brief and self-effacing as usual. He referred to himself as the "spider at the center of the web" with many others working around him. Tove and their 3 month old baby girl, Patricia Miranda, had accompanied Linus and both tolerated my pushiness in taking pictures. After the keynote, Linus and Tove made the rounds of the Exhibit Hall, visiting all their fans in the Linux Pavillion. Tove confided that they were enjoying the weather (no snow), but that the arrival of their furniture had been delayed by a bad storm that had forced the ship back to Germany.
Mitchell Kertzman of Sybase gave a vibrant keynote speech that morning, in which he ignored Linux as a possible factor in a paradigm shift that might topple Microsoft. Perhaps he hasn't heard that Linus' goal is "world domination". Kertzman compared today's software industry to the automobile industry of the fifties--that it is designing products to be obsolete in 3 years, while consumers are wanting long term reliability. Sounds to me like consumers are looking for Linux.
While 7000 people had pre-registered for UniForum, only about 75% of those actually attended. Perhaps they went to one of the competing shows such as Internet World. At any rate, at times the floor was crowded with attendees, while at other times (particularly toward the end of the day) it was quite empty. The Linux Pavillion was placed in the right rear corner of the floor, yet it seemed to me that most attendees were gravitating over to check out this upstart operating system that dares to be freely available. SSC gave away their stock of magazines and bumper stickers, as well as displaying t-shirts, reference cards and the new "Tux" mugs. IBM and Lucent Technologies both had central positions on the floor, but I saw many people passing them by to visit Digital to check out both the Alpha and Jon "maddog" Hall's new Linux setup for Digital's Intel box. Jon is providing us with a short article about this setup that will appear next month.
I attended two of the talks: one on Electronic Document Interchange and one on high speed Internet access. Both were well presented and full of good information. I was particularly impressed with Jeff Wilbur's thoughts on the directions that access to the Internet will take in the future (i.e., cable modems, xDSL, satellite, ISDN), and so asked him for an article.
Since UniForum'97 was my first conference as Editor of Linux Journal, I met many people that I had only heard about before, including Joel Goldberg of InfoMagic (who is a sponsor of Linux Gazette), Mark Bolzern of WGS, Adam Richter of Yggdrasil, and of course, Jon "maddog" Hall of Digital. Jon introduced me to Ted Cook of BRU, who told me of his plan to give away Bru software to Linux User Groups at the upcoming Linux Expo and to groups that are members of G.L.U.E.
On Wednesday night Joanne Wagner, one of our advertising representatives, and I attended a press conference/party put on by XiGraphics--free food and drink, always a plus. The press conference was held to announce the recent name change (from X Inside) and the latest release of Xi's Accelerated X software. The president and founder of the company, Thomas Roell, gave a short presentation in which he described the directions he envisions for Xi Graphics.
All in all, I had a good time at the conference and a pleasant stay in San Francisco.

UNHCR new call for resettlement or other forms of admission for 100,000 Syrians
UNHCR new call for resettlement or other forms of admission for 100,000 Syrians
UNHCR is today calling upon states to make multi-annual commitments towards a goal of providing resettlement and other forms of admission for an additional 100,000 Syrian refugees in 2015 and 2016.
UNHCR has earlier called upon states to provide solutions for 30,000 of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees through resettlement or other forms of admission by the end of 2014. To date, 20 countries have offered more than 18,800 places towards this goal. UNHCR remains confident that the 30,000 goal will be met by the end of the year through a significant number of submissions to the United States of America.
UNHCR anticipates that in the coming years, there will be increasing numbers of vulnerable Syrian refugees who will be in need of resettlement, relocation, or other forms of humanitarian admission. In light of the growing needs of the Syrian refugee population, the goal of 30,000 in 2014 represents only the first benchmark in securing solutions for this group.
As part of the emergency response, UNHCR is urging states to consider a number of solutions that can provide secure, urgent and effective protection for these people. Such solutions could include resettlement, humanitarian admission, or individual sponsorship.
States could also offer other kinds of solutions: they could develop programmes that enable Syrian relatives to join family members. They could create scholarships for Syrian students in order to prevent a "lost generation" of young people. They could also offer medical evacuation for refugees with serious health conditions that require life-saving treatment.
We appeal to the international community to continue providing longer-term solutions for Syrian refugees who are most urgently in need.
There are currently over 2.4 million refugees registered in the region. In Lebanon there are some 932,000, Jordan some 574,000, Turkey some 613,000, Iraq some 223,000 and Egypt some 134,000 refugees.

Statement by the Deputy Permanent Representative Ambassador WANG Min at the 12th Annual Ministerial Meeting of Landlocked Developing Countries |
2013-09-30 11:23 |
Mr. Chairman, I would first thank Laos PDR, in its capacity as Chairman of the Group of LLDCs, for inviting China to participate in today's meeting. The Comprehensive Ten-year Review Conference of the Almaty Program of Action is to be held in 2014. Today's meeting and its discussion on the theme, namely, "Building Genuine Partnerships for Overcoming Impacts of Landlockedness in the Context of Sustainable Development" is highly appropriate and will bear positively on the upcoming Conference. I would also like to thank Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, USG Acharya for their addresses. I would like to focus my statement on how China carried out cooperation with the LLDCs in implementing the Almaty Program of Action. The Almaty Declaration and Program of Action reflected the commitment of the international community to support the LLDCs, and identified five priorities of fundamental transit policy issues, infrastructure development and maintenance, international trade and trade facilitation, international support measures and implementation and review to support the LLDCs in their development efforts. China is pleased to see the progress made in the implementation of the Almaty Program of Action since 2003. However, the LLDCs have long faced unique difficulties and obstacles in economic and social development due to their particular geological location. The setbacks in and uncertainties of the world economic have further aggravated the difficulties of the LLDCs in achieving economic development and poverty reduction, and posed formidable challenges to their effort to strengthen infrastructure development, increase import and export, and attract capital inflow. Meanwhile, the uneven development of the LLDCs and the major constraints that impede their development such as high cost of transit transport are yet to be fundamentally addressed. The LLDCs still need the continued support of the international community. China understands and is concerned with the difficulties and obstacles that impede the economic development of the LLDCs and their participation in international trade. China has been consistently supporting the LLDCs in their development efforts. The Chinese government gives great attention to the comprehensive implementation of Almaty Program of Action. Since 2003, China has acceded to a multitude of international cross-border transport agreements including the Greater Mekong Sub-region Cross-Border Transport Agreement, which have provided effective legal guarantee for facilitating the flow of goods and personnel of the LLDCs. Paying great attention to infrastructure development of the LLDCs, China has helped build a number of cross-border transport routes in the countries concerned. China has also conducted in-depth regional cooperation in trade facilitation with the LLDCs. As a transit country, China attaches great importance to transit transport. As this issue involves major interests of the LLDCs and transit countries, China has actively participated in the negotiation of relevant agreements in the spirit of "equality and mutual benefit, friendly cooperation, and high sense of responsibility". Since 2002, China has conducted 7 rounds of negotiations with Mongolia and Russia on Transit Transport Agreement among China, Mongolia and Russia to regulate transit transport of our three countries in an effort to raise transport efficiency, facilitate mutual trade and investment, and promote our common economic development. In addition, within the Framework of Joint China-Mongolia Commission on Economy, Trade, Science and Technology and its Working Group, China has made tremendous efforts to address Mongolia's concerns about improving transit transport and enhancing port's handling capacity. China has also supported Mongolia in the fields of IT application, urban transportation, and technological renovation of agriculture and animal husbandry. The Comprehensive Ten-year Review Conference of the Almaty Program of Action to be held in 2014 will review all aspects of the implementation of the Almaty Program of Action. This Conference will further galvanize international consensus, comprehensively evaluate the special development needs of the LLDCs, and clarify once again the active support and specific actions of the international community for the development of the LLDCs. It will provide an important opportunity for the LLDCs in terms of realizing comprehensive and sustainable development. The outcome of this Conference will undoubtedly produce significant impact on the formulation of the post-2015 development agenda. As a transit country, China has always supported, and will continue to support the development of the LLDCs. Together with the rest of the international community, China stands ready to make positive contributions to the success of this Conference. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. |
