Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).


Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

What We're Tracking
The U.S. and Israel coordinate regarding Iran's nuclear activities. Senior Israeli officials from the security and intelligence ministries will visit the United States to discuss Iran's nuclear program and Israeli border demarcation talks with Lebanon. They are not, however, expected to engage in discussions regarding hostage negotiations in Gaza as Israel resumes military operations there. This will be the first meeting since U.S. President Donald Trump returned to office of the U.S.-Israel Strategic Consultative Group, a forum for the countries to work to reshape the region in Israel's interests. While both nations are aligned about Iran's nuclear ambitions, they differ on the level of risk they are willing to accept. For now, the United States favors sanctions and diplomatic rhetoric to encourage Iran to negotiate, whereas Israel — which has carried out two strikes against Iran in the past year — seeks to persuade Washington to support a broader military strategy aimed at weakening Iran within its own borders.

stag podcast: Essential Geopolitics: The United States' Evolving Relationship With Russia

A French public prosecutor's office launched an investigation into French multinational energy company TotalEnergies on manslaughter and failure to assist a person in danger charges regarding the major's handling of a 2021 attack on the Mozambican town of Palma by Islamic State affiliates, Franceinfo reported on March 14. This comes as a case was first filed in October 2023 by survivors of the attack on Palma, where TotalEnergies' $20 billion Mozambique LNG is located, as well as families of victims -- who accused the company of failing to ensure the safety of its subcontractors. The French major stressed that it firmly rejects these accusations but noted that it would cooperate with judicial authorities. Despite criticism by human rights and environmental activists, TotalEnergies cleared a major hurdle to resume work on the project after the U.S. Export-Import Bank, or EXIM, approved $4.7 billion in financing for Mozambique LNG on March 13 despite opposition to such a move by certain allies of U.S. President Donald Trump. Previous comments by TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne suggest the French major may now look to set 2030 as the project's completion date. However, this will be heavily contingent on changes in Mozambique's political stability, as the country continues to face attacks from Islamic State affiliates in its northern Cabo Delgado province, as well as heightened discontent from opposition supporters following the October 2024 general election, which observers widely saw as rigged by the ruling Frelimo party and triggered nationwide protests that lasted months.

New Assessment 27 th feb : Chief Justice John Roberts pauses judge’s order for Trump admin to pay foreign aid contractors by midnight

South Sudan is a landlocked state in East-Central Africa whose capital is Juba. The country is bordered by Sudan to the north, Ethiopia to the east, Kenya, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, as well as the Central African Republic to the west.    South Sudan is also the youngest country in the world. Since gaining independence from Sudan in 2011, it has experienced ongoing instability, including civil war and famine. Amid the nascent country's many problems, South Sudan's main challenge is the management of its various ethnic groups. Indeed, much of the nation's civil war has stemmed from battles for power between its major ethnic groups.    The country's lack of sea access has also restricted its economic prospects because of the associated high cost of imports and exports. As it is, transport links throughout Central and East Africa are poor, but South Sudan's logistical problems are naturally exacerbated by its instability and violence.    Still, South Sudan does boast proven oil reserves – something that has driven foreign interest in the area for decades. Nevertheless, the unlikelihood that hostilities will end anytime soon, coupled with the further erosion of Juba's control over territory, has greatly complicated investment in the oil industry. Accordingly, there appears little chance that South Sudan will rectify its deep structural deficiencies and end the fighting among its major ethnic groups anytime soon.
