Syrie: 20 morts, dont huit enfants, dans un bombardement dans le nord

Vingt personnes ont été tuées, dont huit enfants, dans un bombardement mercredi contre un village situé dans le nord de la Syrie, a indiqué l'Observatoire syrien des droits de l'homme (OSDH).

Vingt personnes ont été tuées, dont huit enfants, dans un bombardement mercredi contre un village situé dans le nord de laSyrie, a indiqué l'Observatoire syrien des droits de l'homme (OSDH).

"Au moins vingt personnes, dont trois femmes et huit enfants, ont été tuées dans un bombardement du village Qahtaniyé, dans la province de Raqa", a indiqué cette organisation qui bénéficie d'un large réseau de militants et de médecins à travers le pays.

"Des dizaines de personnes ont été blessées dans ce hameau de Qahtaniyé, dont toute une famille. Elles ont été transportées à l'hôpital sur des motocyclettes car il n'y a pas de voitures en état de marche par manque d'essence", ont affirmé des militants de Raqa News Network sur une page Facebook.

Raqa a été le théâtre d'une escalade ces derniers mois lorsque les rebelles ont lancé plusieurs opérations dans cette province proche de la frontière turque.

Mais, précise l'OSDH, les victimes sont tous des paysans. "Pour être clair: il n'y a pas de Front al-Nosra, ni de groupes rebelles réellement organisés dans ce secteur, ce ne sont que des paysans", a précisé Rami Abdel Rahmane, directeur de l'OSDH.

Angry unpaid workers hold employers captive

Angry unpaid workers hold employers captive

newvisionThe workers placed barricades on the roads.

                                  

Workers of a renowned Kampala-based rural electrification consulting firm Sunday went on rampage and held their employers captive in protest of non-payment of salary and wages for the last six months.
The irate staff swiftly locked up the manager of Cable-Sult Civil and Electrical Engineering Company in his office on Friday and only released him on Monday.

The Director Finance and Technical, Mr Wycliff Ssebanulidde, was also put under lock and key when they failed to pay the workers on time as usual.

The furious employees accused their bosses of lending deaf ears to their complaints and requests for payment of the money they worked for in order to celebrate the festive season.

They said their bosses had been adamant to pay them for the last six consecutive months.

The demonstrating workers said they had been fixing electric poles in Kanungu, Kasese, Mbarara, Kamuli and Busunjju districts for the last six months without payment, with the firm promising to clear their arrears soon but to no avail.

“We have decided to go on strike because these people (firm) are not paying us yet we need to shop for Christmas and meet the high expectation of our families,” complained a worker who preferred anonymity.

However, the barricades positioned by the workers on the roads surrounding the firm attracted the attention of Police who promptly swung into action and tried to remove them and find solution to the problem only to be met by stiff resistance from the demonstrators.

Police later found a middle ground with the workers, removed the barricades and released Ssebanulidde whom they ordered to address the workers and tell them when he would pay them.

Addressing the rioters, a shaken Ssebanulidde promised to pay the workers all their accumulated arrears that very day but asked for time to compute their actual wages which was granted.

Under the watchful eyes of the workers and police, Ssebanulidde later paid the workers at around 3:00pm after computing their salaries.

The workers then left the firm's premises delighted and praised the Police for coming to their rescue.

More flood misery for thousands of people over the festive period

Swathes of South-west cut off after worst seasonal weather in living memory

Thousands of people face a struggle getting home in time for Christmas with more heavy rain forecast to cause further flooding today, causing travel disruption across the country.

The wettest festive weather in living memory continued with renewed downfalls in the South-west last night. The rain is expected to spread over much of southern Britain raising the flood risk as it adds to already swollen watercourses and saturated ground.
The usual Christmas Eve retail boom is still expected today, with an estimated 17.2 million people – 36 per cent of the adult population – hitting the shops. They will spend at least £1.3bn between them, according to research from Sainsbury's Bank, up from an expected spend of £1bn last year.
But in many places other people will have more pressing concerns, such as keeping floodwaters out of their homes and managing to get to their Yuletide reunions with relatives in spite of severe problems on roads and rail.
Flooding has been so bad in the South West that First Great Western advised passengers not to try to travel west of Taunton unless their journeys were essential.
Symbolic of the worst of the problem has been the damming exercise on the London-to-Exeter railway line at Cowley Bridge, near Exeter in Devon. Engineers, rescue crews and Network Rail staff have struggled to prevent the line, which runs along the River Exe floodplain, being overwhelmed by the swollen river.
Plastic water-filled dams have been used for the first time in this country to prevent the line, now closed until after Christmas, from being swept away entirely. It is already thought to have suffered damage. "When the water has receded we will walk the line and see what we need to do to re-open it," said a Network Rail spokesman. "It is more than likely the water will have washed away a lot of the ballast – the crushed granite the railway line sits on."
Rivers in the South-east, Midlands and North-east will continue to rise over the next few days, with the Severn in Worcester set to peak at 5.3 metres last night, more than double its usual level. The Environment Agency has sent out over 110,000 warnings to people at risk of flooding since last Wednesday.
Latest figures show around 400 properties have flooded since then, making for the most dismal pre-Christmas period imaginable for the householders, although flood defences have protected 20,000 more properties across England and Wales, including 4,000 in Cornwall.
Dozens of communities across the country were affected by floods over the weekend, in the South-West in particular, with Lostwithiel in Cornwall and Barnstaple in North Devon among the worst hit, along with parts of south Wales.
Emergency services rescued people swept away in their cars and in Umberleigh, near Barnstaple in Devon, a woman was saved by a lifeboat after she was found clinging to a tree on the banks of the swollen River Taw.
Robin Gisby, director at Network Rail, said: "We apologise to passengers who have had their journeys disrupted at this busy time and we are doing all we can to keep things moving. However, safety is our priority."
The roads were also affected by flooding, with the eastbound A27 near Chichester and westbound slip road to Reading services on the M4 both closed.

Pranks: A sign of a healthy local student population

50 things to do before you leave university

University is a very special time in your life. There are some incredible opportunities for personal growth. And also for being very, very silly. Studentbeans is all about this (plus, of course, the freebies, discounts and money saving - join now, it's free!) - so they've created this handy list to work through before you leave uni. How many have you already done?

1. Feed the campus wildlife

2. Have an epic karaoke night at your house using just YouTube, booze, and your natural star quality

3. Go on a date with someone you would normally say no to - give them a chance

4. Hand in an essay early

5. Busk on campus for a charity (even if you have zero talent)

6. Teach someone something

7. Read a book that isn't study-related

8. Hire a bike for a week and see how it works out for you

9. Study in every library that exists at your university (like you're ‘on tour' - but studying)

10. Drive to a beach. Swim. (If your uni is miles away from the coast, you'll just have to stay over)

11. Make your own booze

12. Go to a university sports team's game. Get vocal and animated with your support.

13. Have an incredibly elaborate picnic on a uni green space one lunch time

14. Sit in on a lecture that's completely out of your field, but that you've always been fascinated by

15. Join a society for something you've always wanted to do, but never got round to

16. Apply for internships and jobs

17. Turn up at a 9 am lecture along with all the other students dressed in your PJs and dressing gowns

18. Go to the careers office and speak to them completely honestly - whatever your thoughts and fears, loves and hates...

19. Go on a weekend country jaunt with friends - get as remote as possible

20. Start a conga at a big union night. See how long you can get it, before leading it as far from the music as possible (if you can get it to a house party or another club night, you can officially retire from doing stuff. Your work here is done)

21. Go and see the art departments' end of year shows

22. Go to a play put on by the drama department or a uni society

23. Get involved in a play or some kind of performance (e.g. fashion show, etc.)

24. Visit all historical building and monuments in your town (including churches)

25. Go out sober and dance all night (at least once, repeat as required)

26. Swim in a fountain (campus if possible, town will do)

28. Hold your own Come Dine With Me with other student houses

29. Take part in a protest

30. Write in to the uni radio station or newspaper

31. Dress up! As a fictional character, an animal - anything

32. If you think a lecture was particularly good, try and instigate a standing ovation

33. Do something – anything! – silly, for charity

34. Give your parents a in depth tour of all the great stuff you do and love at University (It'll make for an amazing trip for them, and make them feel happy whenever they think of you at uni)

35. Have a sleepover

36. Play an elaborate prank on a housemate

37. Win a pub quiz (whatever it takes)

46. Make friends with a student from a country you've never known someone from or been to before

47. Go inside (and have a little explore of) every building that is part of the university

48. Become a wise mentor for a Fresher doing your course. Tell them what you wish you'd known

Achievement is all in a day’s work

More and more talented graduates are choosing to teach maths and fulfilling their ambition of securing a rewarding and challenging career  

  

1 / 1

• For Nick McIvor, a maths teacher at St Marylebone Church of England girls’ school in central London, there is no such thing as an average day at work.
•  He is responsible for ensuring pupils engage with new concepts and learn quickly. To achieve this, teachers strive to make lessons as relevant and exciting as possible. “I want to explain maths to kids who don’t know how great maths is.”

According to the Teaching Agency, highly qualified graduates are increasingly switching on to this challenging and rewarding profession.

 More than seven out of 10 new trainee teachers now have a high-quality degree. In maths alone, 62 per cent had a 2:1 degree or higher in 2012, compared to 51 per cent in 2010.McIvor’s 2:1 in maths from the University of York has put him in good stead. “I’ve been surprised by how much of the higher level maths I draw on,” he says. “I reference obscure bits of mathematics. I’m trying to give students a sense of ‘wow, I didn’t know that’.”Routes into the profession include conventional training courses and the new school-led School Direct route. Today’s trainees could also receive a tax-free training bursary of up to £20,000 and the average starting salary for teachers now stands at £23,010. It’s a rewarding career that offers exciting challenges and encourages talented individuals to excel.McIvor’s path was unusual. “After university, I went to drama school and spent 10 years working as an actor and a writer,” he explains.He retrained as a teacher – and his background has nurtured a unique approach in the classroom. “I’ve been teaching my students to say their times tables backwards while doing a silly juggling routine.

 It’s a technique you use to give authenticity to people’s acting. I’m playing the same game – I’m trying to distract students from the thing they're learning so that the thing I want them to do becomes natural.”McIvor’s rise as a teacher has been meteoric. Securing his first permanent teaching job in 1997, he had progressed to head of maths and ICT by 2000.

He puts his success down to enthusiasm: “Kids do maths because they have to. My job is to open their minds and convince them that maths is a subject that presents fantastic opportunities.”Why not use your maths expertise in teaching? Applications to conventional and School Direct teacher training courses starting in 2013/14 are now open. Apply early to ensure you’re considered by your first choice training provider or school.

It’s a rewarding career that offers exciting challenges and encourages talented individuals to excel.McIvor’s path was unusual. “After university, I went to drama school and spent 10 years working as an actor and a writer,” he explains.He retrained as a teacher – and his background has nurtured a unique approach in the classroom. “I’ve been teaching my students to say their times tables backwards while doing a silly juggling routine.

 It’s a technique you use to give authenticity to people’s acting. I’m playing the same game – I’m trying to distract students from the thing they're learning so that the thing I want them to do becomes natural.”McIvor’s rise as a teacher has been meteoric. Securing his first permanent teaching job in 1997, he had progressed to head of maths and ICT by 2000. 

He puts his success down to enthusiasm: “Kids do maths because they have to. My job is to open their minds and convince them that maths is a subject that presents fantastic opportunities.”Why not use your maths expertise in teaching? Applications to conventional and School Direct teacher training courses starting in 2013/14 are now open. Apply early to ensure you’re considered by your first choice training provider or school.

La Prospérité: «Goma: Kagame défie l’Onu»

Les quotidiens et journaux de la presse kinoise. Voir dans Picasa Les quotidiens et journaux de la presse kinoise.

Revue de presse kinoise du lundi 19 novembre 2012. La récente évolution de la situation sécuritaire à Goma, chef-lieu du Nord-Kivu, constitue ce matin la principale actualité dans les tabloïds paraissant à Kinshasa. La Prospérité y consacre deux publications.

Dans son article intitulé «le Conseil de sécurité devant ses responsabilités. Goma: Kagame défie l’Onu», le journal attribue au président rwandais la responsabilité de la reprise des hostilités en fin de semaine dernière dans le périmètre de Goma et qui a provoqué au moins cinq mille nouveaux déplacés.
Mais, l’article appelle en même temps le Conseil de sécurité de l’Onu à interpeller Kagame, à lui «tirer les oreilles» sur les conséquences humanitaires résultant de toutes ces manœuvres militaires sur le sol congolais. Le Comité des sanctions qui se prononcera le 23 novembre prochain, doit, selon le quotidien la Prospérité, aller jusqu’au bout, en sanctionnant le Rwanda, au-delà de tous les rebelles du M23 déjà sous les viseurs.
En attendant la réponse à son interpellation le journal a pris soin, dans son édition de ce lundi, de publier intégralement un communiqué de la Monusco qui indique que la mission onusienne condamne fermement la reprise des hostilités et lance un appel au M23 pour cesser immédiatement ses attaques qui ont pour conséquence la détérioration de la situation sécuritaire et humanitaire déjà fragiles.
Le communiqué explique que la Monusco ne tolérera aucune avancée ou action du M23 qui peut engendrer de la panique.
Le quotidien Le Potentiel revient sur les rencontres sur la situation sécuritaire tenues le week-end dernier à Kinshasa et titre au sujet de la réunion du Conseil supérieur de la défense tenue samedi 17 novembre où le président de la République a donné des consignes fermes pour sauver la patrie.
Dans son éditorial de ce lundi, le quotidien l’Observateur titre: « Troupes rwandaises: «bienvenues à Kinshasa ». Le journal estime qu’avec l’avancée des troupes rwandaises dans le Kivu, les masques vont commencer à tomber les uns après les autres. Pour le quotidien de la capitale, les richesses seules ne suffisent pas pour sortir pour autant mettre fin à la pauvreté des Congolais de deux Kivu, ni à celle de toute la RDC.
L’Observateur pense qu’il y a des choses qui doivent être faites et changées et la guerre du Kivu, pour être gagnée, ne peut pas être du seul ressort du pouvoir. Il y a des forces, que nous avons en abondance, et qui n’attendent qu’à être mobilisées à cet effet.
«Il faut, pour commencer, cesser de caresser le Rwanda dans le sens du poil. Il n’en a d’ailleurs pas besoin, et cela ne nous rapporte strictement rien en ce moment», soutient le quotidien.
De son côté, le quotidien Forum des As titre en sa Une Kibumba : de nouvelles preuves accablantes contfe le Rwanda ! Le journal indique que la RDC compte saisir la Commission militaire mixte de la CIRGL siégeant actuellement à Goma dans le cadre du mécanisme de vérification mis en place après avoir constaté les preuves de l’implication du Rwanda dansd la guerre de l’Est. Selon Forum des As, cette offensive militaire met à nu la participation militaire de pays de Paul Kagame dans la déstabilisation de l’Est de la RDC. Le Gouvernement congolais brandit, une fois de plus, des preuves incriminant directement ce pays voisin. D’après une déclaration de l’Exécutif congolais, le Rwanda, à travers le RDF (Rwanda défense forces), a pris une part active particulièrement dans l’attaque du samedi 17 novembre au Nord-Kivu, affirme le quotidien kinois.
