The refugee population also includes people in refugee-like situations." ( UNHCR, 2017). UNHCR includes “individuals recognized under the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, its 1967 Protocol, the 1969 Organization of African Unity (OAU) Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, those recognized in accordance with the UNHCR Statute, individuals granted complementary forms of protection, and those enjoying temporary protection. At the international level the use of this term is debated because of the widespread recognition that a continuum of agency exists rather than a voluntary/forced dichotomy and that it might undermine the existing legal international protection regime.” ( IOM Glossary on Migration, 2019).Īccording to the 1951 United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol refugees are persons who flee their country due to "well-founded fear" of persecution due to reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, and who are outside of their country of nationality or permanent residence and due to this fear are unable or unwilling to return to it. The definition includes a note which clarifies that, “While not an international legal concept, this term has been used to describe the movements of refugees, displaced persons (including those displaced by disasters or development projects), and, in some instances, victims of trafficking. Key terms that are used in the context of forced migration or forced/involuntary displacement include:Īccording to IOM, forced migration is “a migratory movement which, although the drivers can be diverse, involves force, compulsion, or coercion.” 1 Such data are typically collected through a combination of population censuses, household surveys, border counts, administrative records and beneficiary registers.Īt the international level, data on forced migration are collected and/or compiled by various intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), such as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), such as the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The definitions of these concepts are useful, but the lines between them may be blurred in practice because conflicts may arise due to disputes over natural resources and human activity may trigger natural disasters such as landslides.Ĭountries faced with forced displacement - induced by humans or nature - collect data on displaced populations. Displacement induced by conflict is typically referred to as caused by humans, whereas natural causes typically underlay displacement caused by disasters. ![]() In studying forced or involuntary migration - sometimes referred to as forced or involuntary displacement - a distinction is often made between conflict-induced and disaster-induced displacement.

![]() I stumbled upon this doing some research about Evernote Premium. *You can see the etherpad we used for that call here. Update 4: I’m no longer using Chrome OS, nor GMail. I’m still moving away from it as I’m using Chrome OS more and more these days. Update 3: the CEO of Evernote responded to Kincaid’s blog post here. That’ll teach me to trust bloated closed-source products, eh? □ Happily, if the worst comes to the worst, Evernote allows me to export everything to HTML. Update 2: when you reach the 2GB limit for your trial, CloudHQ presents you with an option to get unlimited data transfer during the trial by tweeting about them. I’m just checking it works – and flagging to readers that it’s not an entirely free service. Given that I’ve been paying for Evernote Premium its not the money I’ve got an issue with. Update: a commenter on Hacker News asked why I wasn’t prepared to pay this. There’s a paid-for service called CloudHQ that’s allowed me to backup to both Google Drive and Dropbox, but is limited to 50 files 2GB of data transfer unless you pay $4.90/month or $49/year. While I’ve come across an app called Simple-for-Ever that syncs notes from Simplenote to Evernote, I haven’t found one that does the reverse. ![]() After reading it (and I suggest you do too), I’m ready to return to a Simplenote-based solution. I just assumed that one or both of us weren’t ‘using it properly’.ĭisturbingly, on Hacker News this morning I came across an article by former TechCrunch writer Jason Kincaid entitled Evernote, the bug-ridden elephant. On a couple of occasions, though, I found that we’d lost information. It’s our ‘external brain’ as it were, a place where we can dump information and sort it afterwards. We’re moving to another country next month and, as part of that, I’ve set up a stack of notebooks in Evernote that I’ve shared with my wife. However, I haven’t used it for a while as I’ve been trying to get to grips with using Evernote. Before Christmas I organised a productivity-focused call for some of us at the Mozilla Foundation.* One tool I recommended was Notational Velocity, a service that syncs with Simplenote. “When I see the posters of Mike Gambon… I think sometimes it is me. ![]() And it turns out, McKellen feels the same. That said, I’m sure him playing Dumbledore would have been instantly iconic.Īnd even though McKellen didn’t actually play Dumbledore, I’m one of those people who always assumed he and Michael Gambon were one and the same. McKellen made the decision out of respect rather than bitterness or anger, and I doff my cap to him. Plus, did he really need Harry Potter when he had The Lord of the Rings? He knew Harris wasn’t a huge fan of his, and stepping into his shoes just didn’t feel right. I couldn’t take over the part from an actor who I’d known didn’t approve of me.”Īpart from the shade about playing a “real” wizard, I respect McKellen’s decision to ultimately not take on the role. Richard Harris had this great grandfatherly Aurora to him, which is exactly what Dumbledore was in the first two books. “When they called me up and said would I be interested in being in the Harry Potter films, they wouldn’t say what part, I worked out what they were thinking. I played the real wizard,” McKellen said. “When he died, he played Dumbledore, the wizard. McKellen opted not to replace him because apparently Harris had been critical of McKellen’s work, calling him “technically brilliant, but passionless.” Because of that “nonsense” statement, McKellen was turned off by the idea of taking over for the role. In 2002, Harris passed away in between the filming of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In an interview with the BBC, McKellen said that there was some drama with the late Harris that prevented him from playing Harry’s mentor.ĭrama, you say? Why Sir Ian McKellen turned down the role of Professor Dumbledore in Harry Potter Although, I did love when he asked to keep the knitting magazine in HBP. Michael Gambon looked the part, but there were certain important qualities I felt he was lacking. His soft spoken voice, his mannerisms, and sense of humor truly resembled Dumbledore. Why didn’t he accept? There’s an interesting story behind that. Richard Harris will always be Dumbledore to me. He had the perfect look for this sort of role, so you probably won’t be surprised to learn that he was indeed approached to play Dumbledore after Harris passed away. The 82-year old grew his fanbase by a million-fold when he joined The Lord of the Rings films as Gandalf back in the early 2000s. Of course, McKellen didn’t take over - the role went to Michael Gambon - but it just makes sense, doesn’t it? He’s a wizard at playing wizards, after all. Roles of note include Philip Marlow in the mid-‘80s BBC series “The Singing Detective” and Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1997’s “The Gambler.” Others include Robert Altman’s “Gosford Park,” Wes Anderson’s “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” and Michael Mann’s “The Insider.There is a part of me that always assumed Sir Ian McKellen took over the role of Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies following the death of Richard Harris, who played the Hogwarts headmaster in the first two films. He’s amassed more than 100 film and TV credits in his career, predominantly as a character actor. “Then Dumbledore is the complete opposite, isn’t he? He’s a nice old man.” “I’ve played quite a lot of crooks and killers, and that’s quite interesting,” says Gambon. Franchise mainstay Albus Dumbledore, played by Michael Gambon in six Harry Potter movies, and Jude Law in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them spin-offs, was initially portrayed by Irish actor Richard Harris in the first two Harry Potter movies. He was given the nickname “The Great Gambon,” praised for the physicality, nuance and unpredictability of his performances. He established himself on the stage with widely hailed performances of Shakespeare (“Othello,” “Macbeth,” “King Lear”) and Harold Pinter (“Betrayal,” “The Caretaker”). ![]() Born in Ireland and raised in London, Gambon was classically trained and eventually recruited by Laurence Olivier for his National Theatre Company. Gambon comes from a different generation of actors: a “working actor” eager for constant work and not as “fussy” as today’s younger crop of thespians. ![]() It may not sound exciting at first, by DX-Ball manages to mix things up with its variety of power-ups. Some blocks will release a power-up when they are destroyed if you catch it with your paddle, you can benefit from any number of boons. You can increase the size of your paddle, add more balls to bounce around, get the ability to catch and strategically re-launch the ball at your whim, or equip your paddle with a pair of blasters to shoot and destroy blocks in an instant. Powers stack as well, so if you’re able to nab each one that comes your way, keeping that ball up in the air can be a piece of cake. However, not all power-ups are so benign. They can have all sorts of negative effects one can shrink your paddle, one will cause the blocks to sink lower every time the ball bounces, one will increase the movement speed of the ball, and one will even outright kill you! Just to mess around with you, DX-Ball incorporates a variety of power-downs that can make things harder if you make the mistake of grabbing them. The power-ups and power-downs of DX-Ball make it far more dynamic and unpredictable than your usual Breakout clone. You have no idea just what’s going to pop up on every screen. Sometimes a level will be over in a flash because you got a good combination of abilities. Other times, it could take a good while before anything decent comes your way.Įither way, you could easily call this game the Super Mario Bros. DX-Ball would be fun for a few minutes on its own, but the assorted abilities you can receive at any time seal the deal and increase the replay value. ![]() It can be a very difficult game to put down. You might tell yourself: “Just one more game and I'll be done for the day,” but you’ll be back for another round in short order. Unfortunately, as much as luck can be your best friend, it’s just as likely going to be your worst enemy. Progress in DX-Ball often comes down to how lucky you are. Sometimes the power-ups will rain on you like it’s the first day of spring. Other times, the well will dry up and you’ll be left with a plain old paddle and ball. Make no mistake DX-Ball is not necessarily hard without the power-ups. It’s just that since you have so little direct control over where the ball bounces, nailing the last few blocks in a level can be an incredibly tedious experience. The only way to change the ball’s bounce, speed or direction without the use of a power-up is with proper timing and control of the paddle. Even that is pretty unreliable, and that’s assuming you can even pull the trick off in the first place. To be fair, the game will happily throw you a bone and bring you to the next level if a single block is left untouched for too long. It’s not hard to play but it has its annoying moments but most importantly it’s colorful and entertaining.However, that won’t do you any favors if there are still several remaining. When it comes to casual arcade games, DX-Ball is a great example. Apart from the good stuff, the blocks you destroy can also release powerups that can mess up your game if you don’t avoid them. There are 18 powerups to collect and they can split your ball into three pieces, convert it into a fireball, make it move faster, increase the size of your paddle and so on. ![]() Since watching a ball move at an average speed hitting one or two blocks every 10 seconds might make you yawn, DX-Ball introduces powerups which serve a variety of purposes. ![]() Powerups to help you along or make things worseĭX-Ball aims to make things interesting from the beginning and keeps them that way until you complete the game. Some blocks are initially indestructible and others simply can’t be hit out of pure bad luck because the ball might not follow the trajectory you need it to. There are blocks that need a single hit to be removed while others take more, or even require hitting from a certain angle. Sounds simple enough and it actually is, until the level structure start to become more complex. The goal of the game is to clear the screen of existing blocks that come in various colors and forms using a ball which you strike with a paddle that can only move on a horizontal axis. It’s based on a very simple principle and offers tons of fun for those who enjoy this genre thanks to its large number of levels, each one unique and more challenging than the previous. DX-Ball is one of the most popular ball-and-paddle arcade games ever made for PC. ![]() These effects can emphasize something to make it more evident, subtly isolate a certain element or blend several assets into one shot.
