CAIRO—Donors at an international conference Sunday promised $3 billion to rebuild the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, but all of the key participants said their efforts would be futile without a permanent peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

U.S.-mediated talks broke down this summer before the 50-day war between Hamas and Israel began — the third since 2008 — and it remains unclear how peace can come about.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende, who co-chaired the one-day meeting with Egypt, said pledges of $6 billion have been made, but that only half of that money would be “dedicated” to the reconstruction of the coastal strip.

Brende did not say what the other half of the funds would be spent on. Other delegates have spoken of budgetary support, boosting economic activity, emergency relief and other projects.

“The message was clear to the international community that the Palestinian brothers are not alone,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri told a news conference after the meeting.

Qatar offered the biggest donation of $1 billion — once again using its vast wealth to reinforce its role as a regional player. The United Arab Emirates — a Gulf Arab rival of Qatar — promised $225 million.

The pledges followed U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s announcement of immediate American assistance of $237 million. The European Union pledged $635 million, while Turkey, which has been playing a growing regional role, said it was donating $225 million.

Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammed al-Attiyah, in announcing his country’s pledge, denounced the “international silence” that surrounded Gaza’s destruction.

“While the Palestinian people need financial support, they need more political support from the international community,” he said. “A just peace is the only real guarantee for not destroying what we are about to rebuild and reconstruct.”

Delegates representing about 50 nations and 20 regional and international organizations applauded the pledge by Qatar. The Emirates and Saudi Arabia, however, allege that Qatar is using its wealth to undermine regional stability, primarily through meddling in other nations’ affairs and aiding militant Islamic groups.

Conference organizers hope the pledges will be paid over a three-year period to aid reconstruction in Gaza, which borders Israel and Egypt. Both countries have blockaded Gaza since Hamas took power there in 2007, causing the territory of 1.8 million people economic hardship and high unemployment.

Donors plan to funnel the aid through Abbas’s Palestinian Authority, bypassing Hamas. Abbas and Hamas recently formed a national unity government, and its deputy prime minister, Mohammed Mustafa, acknowledged there would difficulties for the funds to arrive quickly and be appropriated.

The western-backed Abbas told the delegates that the latest Gaza war caused “tragedies that are difficult to be described by words. ... Entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to rubble.”

He said the Palestinian government “will carry out the reconstruction plan with full responsibility and transparency in co-ordination with the UN, the donors, international financial institutions, civil society and the private sector.”

Leading participants said Gaza’s reconstruction cannot be done in isolation from efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks on a lasting settlement.

“We must not lose sight of the root causes of the recent hostilities: A restrictive occupation that has lasted almost half a century, the continued denial of Palestinian rights and the lack of tangible progress in peace negotiations,” said U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, who later announced he would visit Gaza on Tuesday.

“I call on all parties to come together to chart a clear course toward a just and final peace,” Ban said. “Going back to the status quo is not an option; this is the moment for transformational change.”

Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...

The latest conflict in Gaza was the most ruinous of the three wars, killing more than 2,000 Palestinians — mostly civilians, the UN said. Another 11,000 were wounded, and some 100,000 people are homeless.

Kerry told delegates that Gazans “need our help desperately — not tomorrow, not next week, but they need it now.” He said the new U.S. money, which nearly doubles American aid to the Palestinians this year, would go to security, economic development, food and medicine, and shelter, water and sanitation projects.

We mastered the Metro and wound our way through the tree line streets to museums, gardens, cafes and the cemetery.. The Eiffel Tower was directly outside the hotel window creating a pretty sweet nightlight with hourly sparkles.. I found many things as I walked through quiet museums and busy neighborhoods, but what I did not find was my heart. There was beauty, art and history, all things I love. But I was really surprised that as much as I loved it, it was not the zing to my heart that I expected.. Maybe a girl can only have one city steal her heart, and mine was stolen by Boston long, long ago. Still, every day in Paris was a lovely adventure..

Advertisement Sacramento family wants help finding bikes stolen from son with special needs Share Shares Copy Link Copy

A Sacramento family is asking for the community's help to find two unique special-needs bikes that were stolen from their son over the weekend.Ted Kelts, who is nonverbal, was born with a rare form of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, which is a condition characterized by limited muscle tone, as well as physical and intellectual disabilities.The bikes, which were stolen from the garage at a home in the 2600 block of Latham Drive, allowed 20-year-old Kelts to get around with help from his parents.“These are very unique bikes -- very unique,” Janet Kelts said. “You can go buy a new bike if your bike was stolen. We can't do that.”Janet Kelts and her husband George Kelts bought the bikes for their son 10 years ago.“He has low muscle tone and can’t run, but can ride a bike,” Janet Kelts said. “George sits behind him and steers -- and Ted just flies.”One of the bikes, a silver tandem bike made in New Zealand, allows Ted to sit in the front while his father pedals and steers from the back seat. “He sits on the front, and has his own handlebars,” George Kelts said. “I have wrap around bars that come to the back, but he has the best view.”The second bike, a purple push-tricycle that was made in Florida, allows Ted to feel like he’s riding while someone is pushing from behind his seat.“He flaps his hands and shakes his head and is just so happy and feels so free,” Janet Kelts said. “We don't have those bikes anymore because they were stolen from Ted's garage.”The bikes are valued at more than $5,000. They were taken overnight Saturday and discovered missing Sunday morning.Because of the uniqueness of both bikes, the Kelts family is hoping people spot them and call the Sacramento Police Department. “We have a case filed with Sac PD; we just really hope someone spots them and calls them in,” Jennifer Kelts said.Because of the bikes’ value, the theft is considered grand theft. Sacramento police are urging anyone with information on the bikes' whereabouts to call the department at 916-808-5471.The Kelts family said they don’t need any monetary assistance to replace the bikes, they just want more people to keep an eye out for the bikes and to report any sighting to police.“We can fix the bikes, no matter what shape they’re in,” Janet Kelts said. “We just are holding out hope we can get them back and Ted can go riding again sooner rather than waiting for them to be replaced.”

The consequences of stealing can vary depending on the severity of the crime, but they may include:

1. Criminal charges: Stealing can result in fines, imprisonment, or both.
2. Damaged reputation: Stealing can damage an individual's or organization's reputation, making it difficult to find work or do business.
3. Loss of property: Stealing results in the loss of the stolen item, which can be expensive or irreplaceable.
4. Emotional harm: Stealing can cause emotional harm to the victim, especially if it involves a cherished possession or memory.

### Section 5: How to prevent stealing
There are several ways to prevent stealing, including:

1. Locking up valuables: Keeping valuable items locked up or out of sight can make them less attractive to thieves.
2. Using security measures: Installing alarms, cameras, or other security measures can deter thieves and help catch them if they try to steal something.
3. Being vigilant: Staying alert and aware of your surroundings can help you avoid becoming a victim of theft.
4. Reporting suspicious activity: If you see something suspicious, report it to the authorities.

### Glossary:
- Stealing: Taking something that belongs to someone else without their permission or knowledge.
- Consequences: The results or outcomes of an action or event.
- Prevent: To stop something from happening.

### Conclusion:
By understanding what stealing is, why it's wrong, and how to prevent it, we can help protect ourselves and our communities from this crime. Remember to always be vigilant, report suspicious activity, and secure your valuables to avoid becoming a victim of theft.

Relative resistance of six cattle breeds to the tick Boophilus decoloratus in South Africa.
Adult females of the tick Boophilus decoloratus were removed from 6 breeds of cattle on 2 farms in the Northern Transvaal. Highest numbers of female ticks were collected from Simmentaler, followed by Santa Gertrudis, Bonsmara, Afrikaner, Brahman and Nguni. Resistance levels of each breed to B. decoloratus was positively correlated with the amount of Bos indicus genes in the breed, with the exception of Nguni, which is a sanga type but not pure B. indicus.

Lesson: Introduction to Genetics and Cattle Breeding

**Lesson Objectives:**
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. Define genetics and explain its importance in cattle breeding.
2. Identify the six cattle breeds mentioned in the input text.
3. Understand the correlation between the amount of Bos indicus genes in a breed and its resistance to ticks.
4. Apply critical thinking skills to analyze and interpret the data presented in the input text.

**Section 1: Introduction to Genetics**
Genetics is the study of how traits are passed down from one generation to another through DNA. In cattle breeding, genetics plays a crucial role in improving the quality of the herd and ensuring that certain desirable traits are passed on to the offspring.

**Section 2: Identifying Cattle Breeds**
In the input text, six cattle breeds are mentioned: Simmentaler, Santa Gertrudis, Bonsmara, Afrikaner, Brahman, and Nguni. These breeds are known for their distinct physical characteristics and are used in cattle breeding programs around the world.

**Section 3: Correlation Between Bos Indicus Genes and Tick Resistance**
The input text states that the resistance levels of each breed to B. decoloratus was positively correlated with the amount of Bos indicus genes in the breed, with the exception of Nguni, which is a sanga type but not pure B. indicus. This means that the more Bos indicus genes a breed has, the higher its resistance to ticks.

**Section 4: Analyzing and Interpreting Data**
The data presented in the input text shows that Simmentaler, followed by Santa Gertrudis, Bonsmara, Afrikaner, Brahman, and Nguni, had the highest numbers of female ticks collected from them. This suggests that these breeds may be more susceptible to tick infestation than others. However, the correlation between the amount of Bos indicus genes in a breed and its resistance to ticks indicates that selective breeding programs could potentially improve tick resistance in cattle.

**Glossary**
- Genetics: The study of how traits are passed down from one generation to another through DNA.
- Bos indicus: A species of cattle that is known for its resistance to tick infestation.
- Sanga type: A type of cattle that is a cross between Bos taurus and Bos indicus.

**Conclusion**
Understanding genetics and its role in cattle breeding can help farmers and ranchers improve the quality of their herds and ensure that desirable traits are passed on to future generations. By analyzing and interpreting data such as the one presented in the input text, we can gain insights into which breeds may be more resistant to ticks and develop strategies to reduce the impact of tick infestations on livestock.

## Lesson: Hair Transplant in Turkey
### Introduction
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body to another. It is commonly performed to treat baldness or hair loss. In recent years, hair transplantation has become increasingly popular in Turkey, which is known for its advanced medical technology and experienced doctors. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of hair transplants, the techniques used, and the benefits of having a hair transplant in Turkey.
### Types of Hair Transplants
There are two main types of hair transplants: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).
1. FUE: In this method, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and then implanted into the recipient area. This method is minimally invasive and leaves no scar.
2. DHI: This method involves implanting hair follicles directly into the recipient area using a special pen-like device. This method is also minimally invasive and leaves no scar.
### Techniques Used
The two most common techniques used in hair transplantation are FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).
1. FUT: In this method, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the donor area and then divided into smaller units. These units are then implanted into the recipient area.
2. FUE: In this method, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a special tool and then implanted into the recipient area.
### Benefits of Having a Hair Transplant in Turkey
1. Advanced Medical Technology: Turkey has advanced medical technology that allows for precise and effective hair transplantation.
2. Experienced Doctors: Turkish doctors are highly experienced in performing hair transplantation procedures.

### Conclusion
In conclusion, hair transplantation is a safe and effective procedure that can help restore hair and confidence. Turkey is an ideal destination for hair transplantation due to its advanced medical technology, experienced doctors, and cost-effective prices. By choosing to have a hair transplant in Turkey, patients can enjoy natural-looking results and personalized treatment plans.

Lesson: Introduction to Birth Control

**Overview:** This lesson will introduce students to the concept of birth control and its importance in modern society. We will explore different methods of birth control, their effectiveness, and how they work. Students will also learn about the history of birth control and the impact it has had on women's rights.

**Section 1: Introduction to Birth Control**

Birth control refers to any method or device used to prevent pregnancy. It is an essential aspect of modern society, allowing individuals to plan their families and maintain their desired lifestyles. Birth control has been used for thousands of years, with the earliest evidence dating back to ancient Egypt.

**Section 2: Types of Birth Control**

There are several methods of birth control available today. These include barrier methods (such as condoms and diaphragms), hormonal methods (such as pills and patches), and permanent methods (such as tubal ligation and vasectomy). Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of method depends on individual preferences and needs.

**Section 3: How Birth Control Works**

Birth control works by preventing sperm from reaching the egg. This can be achieved through several mechanisms, such as blocking the cervix, killing sperm, or altering the lining of the uterus. Hormonal methods, on the other hand, work by preventing ovulation or thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from entering the uterus.

**Section 4: History of Birth Control**

The history of birth control is closely tied to the struggle for women's rights. In the early 1900s, Margaret Sanger fought for the right to use birth control, which was then considered immoral. In 1960, the Supreme Court ruled that birth control was legal, paving the way for the development of the pill. Today, birth control is widely accepted and used by millions of people worldwide.

**Section 5: Impact of Birth Control on Women's Rights**

Birth control has had a significant impact on women's rights. By allowing women to control their own fertility, birth control has empowered them to pursue careers and education without fear of becoming pregnant. This has led to greater gender equality and social progress.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, birth control is an essential aspect of modern society, allowing individuals to plan their families and maintain their desired lifestyles. By understanding the different methods of birth control and their effectiveness, we can make informed decisions about our reproductive health. As we continue to fight for women's rights, birth control remains a crucial tool in achieving gender equality.

**Glossary:**

- Barrier method: A method of birth control that prevents sperm from entering the uterus, usually by blocking the cervix or using a physical barrier.
- Hormonal method: A method of birth control that uses hormones to prevent ovulation or thicken the cervical mucus.
- Permanent method: A method of birth control that is intended to be permanent and cannot be reversed.
- Fertility awareness: Understanding the natural fertility cycle and using this knowledge to prevent pregnancy.
