PARIS (Reuters) - The United Nations’ cultural agency granted the Palestinians full membership on Monday, a step forward in their long-running efforts to achieve recognition before the world as an independent state. |
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) became the first U.N. agency to welcome the Palestinians as a full member since President Mahmoud Abbas applied for full membership of the United Nations on September 23. |
A huge cheer erupted in UNESCO’s General Assembly after the vote, which marks a symbolic victory for Palestinians in the complex diplomacy that surrounds their collective status and relations with foreign powers. |
Israel called the vote a “tragedy” and the decision damaged relations between UNESCO and the United States, an ally of Israel that provides about 22 percent of the body’s funding, or some $70 million. |
Legislation stipulates that the U.S. can cut off funding to any United Nations agency that accepts Palestinians as a member. |
The White House said the vote was “premature” and would not aid peace and the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said UNESCO would suffer. |
“Today’s vote to grant Palestinian membership in UNESCO is no substitute for direct negotiations, but it is deeply damaging to UNESCO,” said Ambassador Susan Rice. |
UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova, who previously pleaded for Washington not to withdraw support, told delegates funding may be jeopardized. |
“I believe it is the responsibility of all of us to make sure that UNESCO does not suffer unduly... We need each and every member of this organization to be fully engaged,” she added. |
The Palestinians got backing from two thirds of UNESCO’s members to become its 195th member. Of 173 countries that voted from a possible 185, 107 voted in favor, 14 voted against, 52 abstained and 12 were absent. Abstentions did not count toward the final tally. |
The Palestinians went to UNESCO after making a bid for recognition of the over-arching United Nations system in September before the U.N. Security Council, which has moved the issue to a committee where it is likely to run into a veto from the United States. |
“This vote is not directed against anyone, but represents support for freedom and justice,” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said in a statement to the official news agency WAFA. |
But the breakdown of the vote reflected deep divergences in international views on Palestinian statehood. |
The United States, Canada, Germany and Holland voted against Palestinian membership. Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa and France voted in favor. Britain and Italy abstained. |
For the European Union, which has stumbled in recent efforts to develop a common foreign policy, the UNESCO vote highlighted persistent rifts with some member states voting for and some against Palestinian membership. |
Austrian UNESCO ambassador Ursula Plassnik, whose country voted in favor, said she regretted that the EU had failed to arrive at a common position on Palestinian membership. |
France, which previously abstained from a vote on the subject of Palestinian membership in UNESCO, broke with precedent to vote in favor on Monday. |
“Since it has been raised today, we must assume our responsibilities and respond to the substance of the issue ... On the substance, France says “yes”- Palestine has the right to become a member of UNESCO,” said Hubert de Canson, France’s representative at UNESCO. |
Israel has said the Palestinian bid would amount to politicization of UNESCO that would undermine its ability to carry out its mandate. It said on Monday it would reconsider its cooperation with the agency. |
The Israeli foreign ministry said the vote placed unnecessary obstacles on the road to renewing negotiations. |
“This is a unilateral Palestinian maneuver which will bring no change on the ground but further removes the possibility for a peace agreement,” it said in a statement. |

MEGHAN Markle spotted a familiar face in the crowd during the royal tour. |
Meghan Markle spotted a face out of a crowd of thousands during the royal tour. |
The Duchess of Sussex, 36, was met by a sea of fans who waited hours to greet her and husband Prince Harry for the final leg of their tour on Tuesday, which had taken place across Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Tonga. |
Hannah Sergel was part of a crowd of people who waited patiently at the Viaduct Harbour in Auckland to catch a glimpse of Harry and Meghan – who finished their tour on Wednesday. |
In a heartwarming video, Meghan’s face can be seen to drop in shock as she realises exactly who Hannah is – someone she used to speak to on Instagram. |
The 20-year-old was holding a sign reading "it's Hannah from Instagram", which Meghan immediately saw, and came rushing over to. |
Hannah told 9Honey: ”She recognised me and knew who I was so that's why she came over. |
“She gave me a hug which was incredible – when I first saw her I cried. |
The two used to message each other on Instagram, with Meghan offering advice and encouraging Hannah to always be herself. |
Hannah handed a letter to the Duchess of Sussex, who said she would read it. |
She then shared photos of their meet on Instagram with caption: "Yes, that's Meghan Markle holding my letter and recognising me. Still in shock tbh." |
It’s been a busy few weeks for the royals, after 76 engagements, four countries and a huge amount of travelling – beginning just days after they announced they were expecting. |
Their tour came to a close in New Zealand on Wednesday, with Prince Harry saying “It's been great” as he thanked everyone for their hospitality. |

Anybody who has ever loved, taken care of, or welcomed an animal into one's home and heart can probably appreciate just how profound the bond between human and animal can be.

Coming out of the proverbial closet means disclosing an important aspect of one's identity. For those identifying along the LGBTQ spectrum, it typically involves revealing one's sexual orientation and/or gender identity to others. |

Grief is a ubiquitous human experience, but somehow we are never truly prepared for the many faces that bereavement presents. Perhaps our Western culture, with its emphasis on perennial youth and denial of aging and death, encourages us to turn a blind eye to the experience of loss. |
Over the course of my life, in both personal and professional contexts, I have had the opportunity to sit and “bear witness” to grief with many people. So often, I have found wounded souls feeling bewildered and surprised by the experience of grief. In spite of my professional experiences with grief, I have found mysel... |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Cleveland Browns starting right guard Kevin Zeitler will miss several weeks of training camp because of a calf injury. |
The 28-year-old Zeitler did not practice Thursday, one day after being hurt and walking off the field with a trainer. |
"Kevin is going to be OK, but he will be down for a little while," coach Hue Jackson said. "It is unfortunate, but we will get him back. Hopefully, he'll be ready to go in the next couple weeks or so. Those things do happen in training camp." |
Zeitler has started all 48 games over the past three seasons, including 16 in his first year with the Browns. The 6-foot-4, 315-pounder played with Cincinnati from 2012-2016. |
Cleveland's offensive line is in flux following the retirement of 10-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas. |
Left guard Joel Bitonio, a second alternate for the Pro Bowl last season, has been moved to left tackle, where he is trying to block defensive end Myles Garrett in practice. Garrett was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2017. |
"Myles is bringing it, and that's the best look he can get every day," Jackson said. "It's really fun to see because Joel is not giving up anything. It's a battle and he's doing well." |
Third-year pro Spencer Drango has filled in for Zeitler on the first team and will remain there. |
"Spencer has played left guard, he's played left tackle and he's been on the right side before, so he has been all around," Jackson said. "That is a comfort that we have." |
The Browns hold their annual "Orange and Brown" scrimmage Friday. |
I’ve been patiently waiting for Lana Del Rey to release her short film, TROPICO, ever since she started talking about it on Twitter this summer. This past week Lana finally unveiled TROPICO (directed by Anthony Mandler who directed her “Ride” music video), and it’s truly a cinematic masterpiece, totally worth the overl... |
During a screening at Hollywood’s Cinerama Dome this past week (which I would have loved to been at but I had other plans), Lana announced Ultraviolence, which is the title (and a possible nod to A Clockwork Orange) of her highly-anticipated upcoming second album, hopefully dropping early next year, I seriously can’t w... |
Syria has rejected Britain’s proposal that Bashar al-Assad could lead a transitional government for up to six months before stepping down, as part of a political solution to the country’s crisis and to end the wave of refugees heading to Europe to escape the war. |
“What gives the British foreign secretary the right to decide for Syrians how long their president should stay in power?” Omran al-Zoubi, the Syrian information minister, told the Guardian in an exclusive interview in his Damascus office. |
He said Britain was following “irrational and illogical” policies by attacking the only country seriously fighting Isis and other terrorists and urging its leader to step down. |
In a sign of intensifying diplomatic activity provoked by the continuing refugee crisis and controversy over the killing of two British Isis members by an RAF drone, Philip Hammond, the foreign secretary, on Wednesday said the UK would take a pragmatic approach to a transition in Damascus. |
“We are not saying Assad and all his cronies have to go on day one,” Hammond told MPs. In order to get Syria’s allies, Russia and Iran, on board, Britain and other western governments would agree to a transitional period of up to six months in which the president could remain in office, he said. But Assad’s security ap... |
The idea of a transitional government is contained in the 2012 Geneva principles for ending the war. But this was the first time a time-period has been mentioned. |
Assad was re-elected last year, Zoubi noted. Syrian opposition forces and their western supporters dismissed the poll and continue to insist that, as the US has put it, “there is no way possible that a man who has led a brutal response to his own people can regain legitimacy to govern”. |
Like all Syrian officials, Zoubi treats any opposition to Assad as Islamist and terrorist, ignoring less visible and often ineffectual democratic and secular elements. |
“We will not allow Syria to become an extremist emirate,” he said. “It will not be another Saudi Arabia” describing the kingdom as “the General Motors of terrorism [which] exports it to the rest of the world” and as the perpetrator of the September 11 attacks on the US. |
Zoubi said that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the Turkish AK party had been the inspiration for al-Qaida and its Syrian branch Jabhat al-Nusra, as well as Isis and Islamists like Ahrar al-Sham, fighting Assad’s forces. |
Russia and Iran were “real friends” of Syria, he said – in the wake of recent reports that Moscow has been boosting its military assistance to Damascus. The Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, again confirmed on Thursday that Russia has military personnel in Syria, but said nothing about deployments of additional ... |
Zoubi said Syria was capable of regaining territory lost to it in recent months – whether in Raqqa and Palmyra, held by Isis, or Idlib province held by other groups. |
Zoubi added that the burden of dealing with refugees arriving into Europe should be borne by European and American governments because of their policies in the region, from intervention in Libya to the crises in Yemen and Syria – and especially the economic sanctions imposed on it since the uprising began at the height... |
Decorating around plaid brings both challenges and opportunities. |
Sometimes love fades before your furniture does. The crisp or cozy plaid covering your sofa and love seat, which was the perfect choice when new, seems dated now that you are moving or redecorating. The strong lines and color combinations of plaid can present challenges when you want to create or change a color scheme.... |
If possible, keep a sample of your couch and love seat fabric in your planning book. Part of the charm of plaid is how its particular component colors interact with each other, but maintaining your decorative balance with multiple colors is easier if you can refer to the fabric often. Look closely at your fabric to iso... |
Some designers note that the choice of any strong pattern for major furniture pieces presents you with more decorative restrictions than opportunities. One way to explore possibilities is to locate paint chips that match all the colors in your plaid. Lay out the chips, one by one with the fabric sample, and take a step... |
A color scheme based on neutral shades of white, tan, gray, brown and black is often an easy way to design around a strong plaid. A polished wood floor, black occasional rug, creamy walls, coarsely woven beige curtains and rustic wood and aged metal accessories allow a black-and-red buffalo plaid to provide the main co... |
In two- or three-colored plaids you will find a fund of colors suitable for the entire room. Staying close to the hues of the plaid with solids and patterns will result in a tightly integrated color scheme. An ivory/caramel/coral plaid might expand to solid-color caramel side chairs, pencil-striped cream/coral wallpape... |
Incorporating plaid furniture into a mixed-pattern decor can be the most refreshing, and also the most frazzling, strategy to update the look of your room. To stave off the exploding-attic look of too much mixing, begin with some substantial blocks of solid color and add patterns slowly. Meet the challenges of a five-c... |

Absolute errorThe numerical difference between a forecasted quantity and the actual result is known as absolute error. If you predict that you'll run a mile in eight minutes and you run it in nine, your absolute error is one minute. |
In investing, absolute errors are expressed in dollars. For example, at the beginning of 2015, Amazon.com stock was trading for about $313 per share. Let's say you forecast that Amazon would be trading for $500 by Dec. 1. Well, on Dec. 1, Amazon opened at approximately $674. So your forecast's absolute error ... |
It's also worth noting that you don't need to worry about positive and negatives when stating absolute error. If you predict a stock's value to be $100, whether it becomes $105 or $95, you were "off by $5" either way. |
Relative errorExpressed as a percentage, relative error takes the price of the investment (or other quantity) into consideration when expressing the difference between a forecasted value and actual value. |
In both examples, your prediction was $5 off from the actual price, so your absolute error is the same in each case. However, your Amazon prediction was far more accurate since you're trying to predict the value of a much more expensive stock. |
For comparisons, it's all relativeWhile both ways of expressing error can be useful when evaluating investment forecasts, relative error is by far the best way to compare forecasts of different stocks' prices and their accuracy. |
