Rabat – South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa expressed his country’s desperate wishes to see US President Joe Biden change the US position regarding Western Sahara. During a recent speech before the ANC’s National Executive Committee (NEC), President Ramaphosa called on the US to “speedily reverse” its recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. The South African president also raised concerns about the “lack of progress in solving the issue of Western Sahara,” expressing his country’s well-documented, Morocco-bashing stance on the Sahara question. This is hardly the first time a high-ranking official from South Africa has lashed out at recent developments in the Sahara conflict to either challenge Morocco’s territorial integrity or try to shore up international support for the separatist Polisario Front. Last week, South Africa’s Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Naledi Pandor, also urged President Joe Boden to reverse former President Donald Trump’s proclamation on Western Sahara. Read also: Western Sahara: What Polisario Advocates Don’t Want You to Know Trump’s decision to recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara angered a shrinking list of countries that continue to support Polisario’s independence claims. Algeria, Polisario’s most vocal supporter and biggest sponsor, also opposed Trump’s decision. In recent weeks, the Algerian regime has repeatedly attacked Morocco and its efforts to defend its territorial integrity. Most recently, concerns mounted in Algeria and South Africa after Joe Biden announced his administration will uphold Israeli peace accords. Despite increasing signs that the Biden administration will not reverse the Trump-brokered “Abraham Accords,” oberserves and politicians from countries supporting Polisario continue to hope against hope, desperately clinging to their version of the future for Western Sahara. To the overwhelming majority of observers and MENA watchers, the Biden White House will most likely refrain from frustrating Morocco and Israel, two strong and strategic US allies. Meanwhile, to the utter dismay of Polisario and its supporters, the new US administration has already expressed satisfaction with Israel’s peace agreements with Morocco, the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan. According to a recent White House statement, Joe Biden is unwaveringly committed to supporting Israel’s recent peace accords. Biden’s MENA strategy, the statement suggested, will essentially consist in building on the momentum initiated by former US President Donald Trump. The statement also reassured concerned analysts in Morocco and across the world, who have been asking questions about whether the new US administration would repeal or uphold Trump’s achievements in the MENA region. The majority of American politicians and diplomats also believe Biden will work to further US-Morocco relations. David Fischer, the former US ambassador to Morocco, said recently that Biden will not harm recent developments in Western Sahara. Fischer made the remarks in his last speech as the US envoy to Morocco. Speaking to reporters before his departure, he said he is “100 percent sure that the incoming Biden administration will nominate a highly qualified individual to fill this important post, someone who will build on all that we have done together, and that the United States and Morocco will grow and prosper together as we have for over two centuries.”

If you wanted to connect your laptop to a desktop GPU, generally, you have to use a Thunderbolt 3-based graphics dock of some kind. However, a mod from Kosin (a China offshoot of Lenovo) has demonstrated that there is another way. Kosin shared a video where one of its employees managed to run an RTX 3090 off a notebook's NVMe M.2 slot, and it works! (via PC Watch.) Kosin used one of its own laptops, the Ryzen 4600U-powered Air 14, to demonstrate its modification. The modder first removed the M.2 NVMe SSD residing in the notebook, then connected an M.2 to a PCIe adapter cable, allowing the RTX 3090 to communicate with the laptop. Finally, the modder drilled out a slot in the laptop's housing so the cable could run outside of the laptop's chassis. Surprisingly, performance from the RTX 3090 was perfectly adequate, even with just four PCIe lanes being fed to the card. The system scored 14,008 points in 3DMark TimeSpy: For reference, a standard RTX 3080 paired with a Core i9-9900K gets 15,000 points. So, yes, you lose quite a bit of performance compared to installing the 3090 in a desktop PC, but the score is still quite good considering the notebook's specs (and the downgrade to four PCIe lanes).

ION Acquisition merger ION Acquisition is a special purpose acquisition company or SPAC. These organizations are used primarily to raise funds on behalf of an acquired firm in order to launch an initial public offering (IPO) without having to go through the traditional process. By using a SPAC, merged companies can get listed on the stock market faster while spending less to do so but they can also be a riskier prospect for investors. Taboola's merger includes $259m held in trust alongside an additional $285m raised from institutional investors that have agreed to purchase ordinary shares from the company. To help Taboola go public, Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC, Baron Capital Group, accounts managed by BlackRock and other investors have pledged private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing. Going public will also release some of Taboola's funds to help its growth with $100m earmarked for research into AI, e-commerce and device manufacturer programs. The merger has been approved by the board of directors of both Taboola and ION and the deal is expected to close during the second quarter of 2021 following regulatory approval.

What is it? The SQ5 Sportback heads a whole new model line-up from Audi, bringing with it the same mild-hybrid diesel drivetrain and other key mechanical components, including a specially tuned sport suspension, as the recently facelifted SQ5. Conceived to rival the likes of the BMW X4 M40d and Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé in a growing market segment for what Audi likes to describe as “performance-related crossover utility vehicles,” the new Mexican-built SUV forgoes the upright rear of the SQ5 for an arguably more stylish arrangement, with a coupé-like look similar to that of the electric E-tron Sportback. Included in the makeover is a more heavily sloping roof and a large liftback-style tailgate – elements that clearly provide the new Audi with a more rakish appearance than the SQ5. They’re not the only distinguishing features, though. Up front, the SQ5 Sportback receives its own unique honeycomb style grille, while the rear receives reshaped OLED tail-lights whose graphic alters in appearance when the driver selects the most sporting of the seven driving modes: Dynamic. While other markets, including the US, are offered the SQ5 Sportback with a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine, UK versions receive the turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 diesel already found in the SQ5. It's combined with a 48V electric system that supports an electrically powered compressor (the EPC in Audi speak) that spools up at light throttle loads when the exhaust gas driven boost pressure is insufficient to fully activate the engine’s single turbocharger to reduce lag and strengthen step-off performance. Once the turbocharger is spinning at normal speeds, the EPC shuts down. There’s also a mild-hybrid system included in the 48V system. It uses an alternator starter motor connected to the crankshaft to recuperate up to 12kW of electric energy under braking and on periods of trailing throttle – all of which is stored in a battery under the boot floor. It's then used to power various systems throughout the car, reducing load on the engine for savings in consumption and lower emissions. It also enables a coasting function; the engine is shut down whenever it can in Efficiency mode. Power is put at 336bhp, with torque building to 516lb ft between 1750 and 3250rpm. By comparison, the X4 M40d’s turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine delivers 349bhp and 501lb ft, while the GLC 350d 4Matic Coupé’s turbocharged 3.0-litre six-pot powerplant kicks out 254bhp and 457lb ft. Drive is channeled through a standard eight-speed torque-converter gearbox and Audi’s Torsen quattro four-wheel drive system. Together, they provide a nominal front-to-rear drive split of 40:60, although Audi says up to 70% of drive can be transferred to the front or 85% to the rear, depending on prevailing traction. Additionally, there’s an ABS-based torque-control system across the axles; it brakes a wheel that lacks for grip and/or traction and redirects drive to the one with greater purchase. Like other S models, the SQ5 Sportback also comes with an optional Sport differential that apportions drive to the outside wheel during fast back-road driving to reduce a tendency towards understeer and increase overall agility. What's it like? The SQ5 Sportback may tip the scales at more than two tonnes, but the combined effect of its reserves is really rather satisfying. The induction boosting effect of the EPC is evident when accelerating from standstill, where it helps to added throttle response over the more conventional diesel engines used by lesser Q5 Sportback models. There's still a fleeting moment of lag before the turbocharger really comes on boost. But once it has spooled up, there's prodigious shove, impressive smoothness and quite a free-revving nature to the SQ5 Sportback’s powerplant. It's a quick and, at the same time, relaxed car to drive, capable of devouring big distances with a rewarding combination of big torque flexibility and low-rev refinement. And with a range that puts 600 miles within reach on the standard 70-litre fuel tank, it’s quite economical, given the performance it delivers. The decisiveness and quick action of the gearbox further enhances the responsiveness. It’s terrifically smooth, both at part throttle loads around town and when your right foot asks for more out on the open road, swapping ratios with great authority and speed despite the heady torque loads at play. The engine also sounds the part. There’s a deep rumble that builds into a full-blooded growl near the 4800rpm ignition cut-out, giving the SQ5 Sportback the sort of aural appeal that few, if any, diesels can claim to offer. It’s a combination of exhaust noise and induction blare - the latter synthesized via a sound generator for added effect. The volume and note alters with the driving modes, Dynamic being the choice for those who want the full unfiltered experience. The SQ5 Sportback’s assured dynamic qualities allow you dig deep into its performance, whether on a multi-lane autobahn or threading down a winding back road. It's predicable in its actions, if lacking the sort of engagement that enthusiast drivers might seek. The control of body movement is particularly good, thanks to the adaptive qualities of the dampers and general tuning of suspension, and the Quattro system provides plenty of grip and traction. Sadly, though, the variable-rate steering, while nicely weighted, lacks for vital feedback. On smooth roads in Comfort mode, the SQ5 Sportback delivers quite a relaxed ride, although it can still become unsettled when the surface isn't perfectly free of imperfections. Dynamic mode is quite a lot firmer, leading to more aggressive vertical movement and some odd harshness over larger bumps. Inside, it’s much the same as the SQ5 – at least up front, where the SQ5 Sportback receives the same dashboard, digital instruments, touchscreen infotainment display, multifunction steering wheel and choice of trims. Quality is generally quite high, although there are some cheap-looking black plastic elements out of your direct line of sight. The raised front seating position gives you an agreeably commanding forward view, while the standard sport seats are terrifically comfortable, with firm cushioning and excellent support. Rearward vision is compromised somewhat by the more sloping rear screen, although not to the degree found in some rivals. With the rear bench mounted quite low, most adults should be able sit up back without any concerns over the reduction in head room caused by the more shapely roofline. Boot space, however, is reduced by 10 litres over the SQ5, at a nominal 500 litres. Should I buy one? If it's style and performance in a high-riding SUV that you’re after and the projected £59,000 price tag is within your budget, the SQ5 Sportback should be on your shortlist. It arguably makes more of a visual statement than the regular SQ5 and suffers few compromises on overall everyday versatility, despite its more sporting lines. The torque-laden qualities of its diesel engine and fast-shifting action of its automatic gearbox endow it with both relaxed low-rev cruising and rapid acceleration, making quite an appealing all-rounder - one with outstanding all-season credentials and, given its sheer speed, highly agreeable economy figures. It’s not overflowing with feedback, which might put off those seeking an inherently sporting car. But it still manages to deliver reassuring dynamic qualities and, on smooth German roads at least, a firm but well-controlled ride.

American actor Eva Mendes recently revealed that she has been staying away from social media ever since her younger daughter told her she was spending “too much time on her phone”. Mendes, mother to two daughters — aged six and four — with husband-actor Ryan Gosling, hadn’t posted on Instagram for almost a month. Now, she has explained to fans why she has changed her approach to social media. Sharing a screenshot of a tweet on Instagram, Mendes wrote that children should be allowed to call out their parents as it is a sign of an “empowered” child. The 46-year-old added that the tweet offered an “important reminder”. She wrote, “I could tell she was taking it personally. And she’s a kid, of course, she’d take it personally. They take things personally unless we go out of our way to make it clear to them it’s not personal. So we had good talk, I apologised and I promised her I’d be mindful. I realised that just because I’m always home with them doesn’t mean I’m always present.” Back in 2017, Gosling’s Golden Globes acceptance speech went viral after he thanked his wife for raising their children while he was working on his film La La Land. Gosling said, “While I was singing and dancing and having one of the best experiences I have ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. If she hadn’t have taken all of that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me.”

Morocco’s Ministry of Health began today, January 25, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to vaccination centers across the country. The ministry mobilized 13 refrigerator trucks to transfer the vaccines from the autonomous refrigeration unit in Casablanca to the designated vaccination centers. Footage recorded by 2M shows the trucks leaving the warehouse facility in Casablanca, with several police cars and motorcycles escorting them through the city. The trucks will transport the vaccines under tight security, with police officers escorting them in cities and Royal Gendarmerie officers guarding them on intercity roads. The vaccines will first arrive at the regional health directorates across Morocco, before being distributed to vaccination centers in each region. One health official told 2M that the distribution of vaccines will concern all regions in Morocco in “a fair and equitable way.” The concerned vaccines were manufactured by British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca in its Indian production units. Morocco received a first shipment with two million doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, named Covishield, on Friday, January 22. The country is also expecting a shipment of vaccines from the Chinese Sinopharm company on Wednesday, January 27. The distribution of the vaccines signals an imminent start of Morocco’s national vaccination campaign against COVID-19. First announced in November, the campaign has been under preparation for more than two months. According to the Ministry of Health, Morocco was only waiting for the delivery of the vaccines to launch the campaign. Last weekend, the ministry launched a web portal, www.liqahcorona.ma, allowing citizens to register for the vaccination campaign. Moroccan citizens and residents can also register by sending the number of their identity card or residence permit to the telephone number 1717. Health authorities will notify the registered people on when and where they can receive the COVID-19 vaccine via an SMS message. Morocco’s national vaccination campaign aims to cover at least 25 million Moroccan citizens and residents, prioritizing frontline workers and people in the high-risk category. The Ministry of Health encouraged Moroccans to participate in the campaign, recalling that vaccine injections are free of charge.

In today's world, computer hardware vendors have to venture into new markets to stay relevant. Some brands remain faithful to their roots, but the majority of hardware brands have branched out from their comfort zones to take up new adventures. Gigabyte, for instance, is mostly known for its motherboards, graphics cards, and gaming laptops, but the company has also tried its hand in the memory market. Gigabyte's memory collection isn't quite there yet, but its Aorus gaming memory aims to steal a piece of the pie. Gigabyte builds the Aorus RGB memory modules on a black PCB that's accompanied by a stylish aluminum heat spreader with an asymmetric design. The heat spreader, which is 2mm thick to help improve heat dissipation, can either arrive in silver or grey (or, as Gigabyte calls it, Aorus Grey) depending on the memory kit's frequency. In our case, the heat spreader came in Aorus Grey. The memory modules are equipped with a discrete LED diffuser, which helps keep their height down to 39mm (1.54 inches). Gigabyte touts up to 12 different lighting modes for its Aorus RGB memory, but the actual number varies from kit to kit. As expected, the memory is part of the Gigabyte's proprietary RGB Fusion 2.0 ecosystem; therefore, it's possible to synchronize its lighting with other Aorus-branded hardware and peripherals. The brand provides the RGB Fusion 2.0 software, which is the only way to control the memory lighting if you don't have a Gigabyte motherboard. Gigabyte doesn't include any dummy sticks for this particular DDR4-3600 16GB (2x8GB) memory kit; you only receive two 8GB DDR4 memory modules out of the box. Despite what Thaiphoon Burner says, Gigabyte claims that the Aorus RGB memory is made from a 10-layer PCB. They conform to a single-rank design with Hynix H5AN8G8NCJR-VKC (C-die) integrated circuits (ICs). The memory modules will run at DDR4-2666 with the typical 19-19-19-43 timings without any adjustments. With XMP activated, you'll find the memory modules at DDR4-3600 with slightly better 18-19-19-39 timings while pulling 1.35V. For more on timings and frequency considerations, see our PC Memory 101 feature, as well as our How to Shop for RAM story. Our Intel test system consists of an Intel Core i9-10900K and Asus ROG Maximus XII Apex on the 0901 firmware. On the opposite side, the AMD testbed leverages an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and ASRock B550 Taichi with the 1.30 firmware. The MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming Trio handles the graphical duties on both platforms. Gigabyte's kit provides powerful performance on the Intel platform. The Aorus RGB outpaced other C18 memory kits and even some of the lower latency C14 rivals in application performance. Gaming, on the contrary, is another story. The Aorus RGB memory dropped to the penultimate position on the gaming charts. Unfortunately, the Aorus RGB memory couldn't maintain its dominance on the AMD platform. We see the DDR4-3600 C14 memory kits back up top in our application tests. Nonetheless, it's important to mention that the Aorus RGB memory was the fastest of the DDR4-3600 C18 memory kits. Similarly, there wasn't much headroom for manual tweaking. The Aorus RGB memory was stable with a CAS Latency of 16, but the rest of the timings had to remain at 19-19-39. We had to boost the DRAM voltage to 1.45V to achieve complete system stability. Bottom Line Gigabyte did a good job on the Aorus RGB Memory DDR4-3600 C18 as it looks and performs great. However, the brand kept the memory inside its own RGB ecosystem, meaning that you will need to use Gigabyte's software to control the memory's lighting effects properly. On the performance end, the memory is a strong performer, but just don't expect to squeeze many extra megahertz out of it. Overclocking headroom isn't great on the Aorus RGB memory. Unfortunately, the Aorus RGB Memory DDR4-3600 C18 is also a very elusive memory kit. Like us, you will have a hard time finding it in a retailer other than Amazon. When in stock, the Aorus RGB Memory DDR4-3600 C18 retails for $149.99, making it one of the most expensive DDR4-3600 memory kits, even by C18 standards.

Spreadsheet software Microsoft Excel is an undeniably powerful tool, but one that also creates opportunity for mishap. As the UK government and NHS found out the hard way in 2020, small spreadsheet errors can snowball rapidly, with significant real-life consequences. In a bid to safeguard against disaster, Microsoft is working on a small tweak to Excel that will allow users to remedy mistakes and recover lost information more easily. According to an entry in the company’s product roadmap, a new Show Changes feature is under development that will effectively log the history of each cell. “Excel can now show you the changes you made to the cells in your workbook, including the previous value of the cells,” the listing explains. Check out our list of the best spreadsheet software available We've built a list of the best office software on the market Here's our list of the best productivity tools around Microsoft has not provided a specific launch date for the update, but expects the Show Changes feature to land at some point next month. Microsoft Excel update Although information is a little sparse for now, it’s easy to imagine a number of applications for the new feature, especially if multiple colleagues are all collaborating on the same workbook simultaneously. For example, if data is altered accidentally by a slip of the keyboard, but not registered immediately, the ability to bring up the previous cell values will allow for an easy fix later down the line. In an accounting scenario, meanwhile, whereby the value of a given cell is dictated by a formula, the new feature will also presumably offer insight into uptrends and downtrends over time. A similar function is already available in rival service Google Sheets, so the Microsoft Excel update will restore parity between the two services in this respect. In Sheets, right-clicking on a cell and selecting “Edit History” allows users to scroll through previous cell values via simple backwards and forwards arrows. The new Excel feature comes hot on the heels of two updates to the web client, both designed to make it easier for users to annotate their spreadsheets effectively. The first introduced the ability to mark cells with the ink and highlighter functions and the second allowed users to create notes that can be shared between colleagues. Love it or loathe it, Excel is a significant part of many people’s professional experience, so extra facilities to guard against mistakes and improve collaboration are likely to be po[CENSORED]r additions.

MotoGP teams will meet online with Dorna Sports and the FIM on Thursday to discuss the possibility of moving the date of the 2021 season-opening Qatar Grand Prix. On Tuesday MotoGP announced it had cancelled the Sepang pre-season test in Malaysia after a state of emergency due to an escalation in COVID-19 cases in the country. Currently, the Qatar test on March 10-12 is scheduled to go ahead, with the current championship start date of March 28 in the country provisionally still on. Motorsport.com understands a meeting between the heads of all MotoGP teams, governing body the FIM and commercial rights holder Dorna will take place on Thursday to discuss the possibility of altering that March 28 start date. Currently, the sole pre-season test now scheduled in 2021 will end two weeks before the first round as has been the case in previous years. But last year the outbreak of COVID-19 reached a critical point worldwide between the Qatar test and the opening round, forcing the MotoGP race to be cancelled owing to travel restrictions coming into force in the country. One option set to be discussed is moving the Qatar test date back to shorten the gap between it and the grand prix, which would allow for teams to remain in the country for the race without having to spend money on two weeks’ worth on accommodation. Another option is to move the Qatar GP forward to the week before. Currently, the 2021 Formula 1 season is due to begin on March 28 in Bahrain, which will lead to a television clash as both are run as twilight events. With F1 postponing its original season-opener in Australia, Motorsport.com understands some teams believe MotoGP should utilise this slot for the Qatar round. For this to happen, approval would need to be had from the television broadcasters and the Qatar GP organisers. The provisional 2021 MotoGP calendar consists of 20 events, though only 19 have been confirmed as the slot originally held by the Czech GP remains a TBC on the draft schedule. But with the virus situation around the world worsening owing to the emergence of new variants of COVID-19, it is likely further revisions will have to be made. Last year MotoGP completed a 14-round calendar centred in Europe, with Jerez, Red Bull Ring, Misano, Aragon and Valencia hosting two races each.
