![]() ![]() In many pastoral livelihood zones, poor households with limited saleable animals will face moderate to large food consumption gaps through mid-2021. Additionally, a sharp decline in livestock exports since August 2020 has adversely affected pastoralists and other households who work in the livestock value chain. As a result, milk availability for consumption and sale is limited. In pastoral areas, below-average rainfall in parts of the North, adjacent areas of central Somalia, coastal areas, and Gedo region has led to water scarcity and pasture shortages, prompting atypical, earlier-than-normal livestock migration to distant grazing areas. Rural populations are experiencing multiple declines in food and income sources. In the Northwest, 2020 Gu/Karan cereal production harvested in November 2020 is estimated at 17 100 tons, which is 58 percent below the 2010-2019 average, mainly due to poor and erratic rainfall and Desert Locust and stalk borer infestations on both sorghum and maize. The main factors for below-average production include: poor and erratic rainfall, recurrent flooding, Desert Locust, and conflict. Despite favorable Hagaa/Karan (July-September) rainfall in agropastoral and pastoral livelihood zones in the Northwest, the rains could not compensate for crop losses caused by poor Gu (April-June 2020) rainfall during the planting, germination, and growing season.Ģ020 Deyr season cereal production in southern Somalia is estimated at 78 600 tons, which is 20 percent below the 1995-2019 average. Furthermore, recurrent floods between July and early November caused further population displacement and damaged crops and farmland in riverine areas of Hiiraan, Shabelle, and Juba regions. In addition, Cyclone Gati caused significant damages and livestock deaths in northeastern coastal areas in late November, though the rains ultimately alleviated dry conditions. The poor rains led to inadequate replenishment of pasture and water resources and below-average Deyr crop production. The assessment and the subsequent analyses were jointly led by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU, a project managed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET, a project funded by USAID) with the active participation of government institutions, UN, and NGO partners.ĭelayed and erratic rainfall distribution characterized the October to December 2020 Deyr season, resulting in below-average, cumulative rainfall across most of the country. These findings are based on the 2020 post- Deyr seasonal food security and nutrition assessment conducted across Somalia in November and December 2020. Available forecasts indicate an increased likelihood of below-average rainfall during the 2021 Gu (April-June) season across most of the country, which would adversely affect food security and nutrition outcomes. Through at least mid-2021, Desert Locust will continue to pose a serious risk of damage to both pasture and crops across Somalia. It is likely that sustained, large-scale humanitarian food assistance and government support since July 2020 have mitigated the magnitude and severity of food insecurity. Moreover, approximately 840 000 children under the age of five are likely to be acutely malnourished, including nearly 143 000 who are likely to be severely malnourished. The drivers of acute food insecurity in Somalia include the compounding effects of poor and erratic rainfall distribution, flooding, Desert Locust infestation, socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19, and conflict. February 4, 2021, Mogadishu/Washington – Up to 2.7 million people across Somalia are expected to face food consumption gaps or depletion of livelihood assets indicative of Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse outcomes through mid-2021 in the absence of humanitarian assistance.

![]() A group of players may introduce their own house rules which can notably change the feel of play. Beyond these basic common rules, numerous regional variations exist which may have notably different criteria for legal melds and winning hands, radically different scoring systems and even elaborate extra rules. While many variations of mahjong exist, most variations have some basic rules in common including how a piece is drawn and discarded, the use of suits (numbered tiles) and honors (winds and dragons), the basic kinds of melds allowed, how to deal the tiles and the order of play. A player can also win with a small class of special hands. ![]() In turn, players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the 14th drawn tile to form four melds (or sets) and a pair (eye). In most variations, each player begins by receiving 13 tiles. The game is played with a set of 144 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although many regional variations may omit some tiles or add unique ones. To distinguish it from mahjong solitaire, it is sometimes referred to as mahjong rummy. Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. The game has also been adapted into a widespread online entertainment. The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout East and Southeast Asia and have also become popular in Western countries. It is played by four players (with some three-player variations found in parts of China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia). ![]() Mahjong or mah-jongg ( English pronunciation: / m ɑː ˈ dʒ ɒ ŋ/ mah- JONG) is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century.

In June 1949, Curt married Geraldine (Jerre) Dawkins. Gowdy's distinctive play-by-play style during his broadcasts of minor league baseball, college football, and college basketball in Oklahoma City earned him a national audition and then an opportunity with the New York Yankees in 1949, working with (and learning from) Mel Allen for two seasons. When Gowdy announced in early 1949 that he was leaving Oklahoma to work in New York, his replacement was fellow Oklahoma City sportscaster Bob Murphy. In 1947–1948, in addition to calling football and basketball on KOMA, Gowdy was also broadcasting the baseball games of the Texas League Oklahoma City Indians, on station KOCY. He was hired primarily to broadcast Oklahoma college football (then coached by new-hire Bud Wilkinson) and Oklahoma State college basketball games (then coached by Hank Iba). After several years in Cheyenne, he accepted an offer from CBS's KOMA radio in Oklahoma City in September 1945. He found he had a knack for broadcasting, and worked at the small KFBC radio station and at the Wyoming Eagle newspaper as a sportswriter (and later sports editor).

The son of Ruth and Edward "Jack" Gowdy (Curt's father was a manager and dispatcher for the Union Pacific railroad ), Curtis Edward (Curt) Gowdy was born in Green River, Wyoming, and moved to Cheyenne at age six. He coined the nickname "The Granddaddy of Them All" for the Rose Bowl Game, taking the moniker from the Cheyenne Frontier Days in his native Wyoming. He called Boston Red Sox games on radio and TV for 15 years, and then covered many nationally televised sporting events, primarily for NBC Sports and ABC Sports in the 1960s and 1970s.

Low-Earth orbit has been the International Space Station’s (ISS) home for over two decades. Only 15 companies out of 169 on SpaceFund’s list have that rating, which signifies a “well-financed company with proven technology, established product-market fit, and a well-rounded team.” Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Subsequently, Rocket Lab has the highest possible SpaceFund Reality rating of 9. This budget is about seven times larger than the country with the second-largest space budget, i.e., China, with about $6 billion.ġ Image Source: SpaceTech Analytics Rocket Lab’s Competitive TakeawaysĪmid this fast-paced revolutionization, it is imperative for companies to be highly innovative and financially sustainable to stay in the competition. The U.S government’s budget for space-related endeavors is almost $41 billion, more than half of which is allocated to NASA. 6,477 (56.4%) of these companies operate out of the United States (U.S) alone. According to Morgan Stanley, “the roughly $350 billion global space industry could surge to over $1 trillion by 2040.” Massive private and public interestĪccording to the report published by SpaceTech Analytics, there are over 12,000 global companies in the Space Technology (SpaceTech) industry with a combined value of over $4.6 trillion. The current innovative front runners in this next-gen industrial revolution will set down the tone of the business for generations and be uniquely positioned towards opportunities for wealth creation. This industry is likely to become the world’s key economic driver for centuries to come. The industrialization of space has begun, and the commercialization of space is apparent with an increasing number of publicized commercial spaceflights. We are at a historical point in time to witness the space revolution. Market Watch reports that Rocket Lab projects revenue of $232 million through launch services and another $218 million from its satellite business for 2024. According to the company’s presentation, “About 83% of the small satellites to be launched in the next decade are expected to be constellation missions.” and currently, only either small or large liftoff vehicles are operational, meaning that the Neutron will be filling a very wide gap in demanded active services. It’s a 40 meters tall medium-sized rocket with a payload capacity of 8 metric tons and will set the company up in direct competition to SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.
