GENEVA (AP) — Saudi Arabia is all but certain to host the men's 2034 World Cup after the Australian soccer federation declined to enter the bidding contest. “We have explored the opportunity to bid to host the FIFA World Cup and — having taken all factors into consideration — we have reached the conclusion not to do so for the 2034 competition,” Football Australia said in a statement. Indonesia’s football association initially showed interest in a joint bid with Australia, potentially alongside Malaysia and Singapore, but that faded when Indonesia instead backed Saudi Arabia. Australia and New Zealand successfully co-hosted the Women's World Cup in July and August. Saudi Arabia also will host the men's Asian Cup in 2027 and has started a widespread construction program to build and renovate stadiums that likely also will be used for the World Cup.

☆ Morocco Welcomes the Annual Meeting of the IMF and World Bank a Month After Its Deadly Earthquake
  + stars: | 2023-10-09 | by ( Associated Press | Oct. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +4 min
The International Monetary Fund and World Bank decided in 2018 to host their annual meeting in Marrakech, Morocco, bringing the affair to the African continent for the first time in 50 years. Their original timeline was delayed by the pandemic, but the meeting beginning Monday arrives at an apropos time. Those challenges are particularly pronounced in Africa, where many countries spend more on debt than health care and education combined. The earthquake, residents say, exacerbated disparities plaguing rural areas and compounded struggles facing already-impoverished communities. “Here’s it’s hidden behind.”___AP reporters Paul Wiseman in Washington and Yassine Oulhiq in Anerni, Morocco, contributed to this report.

☆ After the Earthquake in Morocco, Tourists Grapple With the Ethics of Travel
  + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Ceylan Yeginsu | More About Ceylan Yeginsu | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The series of catastrophic events has left many tourists in a conundrum over how to respond. Those already in a country in the wake of a disaster debate whether they should stay or leave. Can they and the revenue they bring in be of any real help, or will they be a burden? How appropriate is it to let tourism go on while a nation is in a state of collective mourning and rescue efforts are underway? In Morocco, however, where a powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Atlas Mountains southwest of Marrakesh on Friday, killing thousands, the outlook is more unified.

☆ Israel's workhorse Merkava tank could soon be refilling foreign arsenals depleted by the war in Ukraine

Israel may be about to export its workhorse Merkava tank for the first time. Israel isn't selling the newest version of the 45-year-old Merkava tank family, the Merkava 5, or even the Merkava 4, which is used in front-line Israeli armored units.

If Merkava tanks are sold overseas, they may yet end up on surprising battlefields.

☆ A team at Chicago's Field Museum assembled a giant dinosaur, larger than T. rex 'Sue', in under 10 hours. Here's how they did it.

The Field Museum's new Spinosaurus exhibit is longer than its famed T. rex named Sue. The Field Museum"It was well-adapted to eat fish, and would have spent much of its time in and around rivers," said Ben Miller, exhibitions developer at the Field Museum. "For that reason, we decided to display Spinosaurus in a swimming pose, suspended 12 feet above the floor." But that's because this dinosaur exhibit has a few key secrets that made it all possible. That specimen was about 50% complete, Miller said, and is what the Field Museum cast is based on.

☆ I flew first class for the first time ever—here's why the upgrade from economy was worth it

Flying first class for the first time has convinced me that it's worth the money for longhaul flights. I've been flying my entire life — to the Dominican Republic, to Italy, to Morocco — but it's always been in economy class. That all changed in January when my partner and I were traveling to San Francisco and got upgraded to first class. On our way to the airport, we got a notification that we'd be upgraded from economy to Delta's Comfort+. I got a free upgrade to fly in Delta's first class cabin on a recent flight to San Francisco, California.
☆ Meta is changing who handles content moderation in East Africa. It isn't changing the dismal state of how social media stays sanitized.

Meta ended its contract with an outsourcing firm, Sama, that moderated graphic content in Africa. In August, Insider investigated the labor conditions for TikTok's content moderators working for Majorel in Morocco — the hub of ByteDance's Middle East and North Africa content moderation operation. Social media companies claim to use sophisticated algorithms that help clean up people's feeds, but this covers up the grim reality of how nearly every social media company works. Experts like Foxglove Legal have been calling on social media companies like Meta to bring their global content moderation workforce in-house. It may be the only way to make sure handling the worst elements of social media is shouldered by those who are truly accountable to the company and its users.

An animal voyage is special because it requires us to make many journeys all at once.
