WASHINGTON Nike Presto White , Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The World Bank Group on Monday launched a new website to allow users to track the progress of the group's projects and check whether the group is meeting its key targets, including poverty reduction and boosting inclusive growth.


The website, which will be upgraded continually, is being run by the President's Delivery Unit, which tracks the group's strategic priorities.


"The delivery unit will help us internally to make sure we're on track, and will also allow the people we serve to follow us more closely and make sure we are delivering on our promises," said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim.


Unlike the annual corporate scorecard summarizing the group's performance Nike Presto , the unit will help the institution track the project performance in a continual way, and can serve as a better management tool, according to the president.


The site shows the group's initial 12 targets, including issues such as climate change, business performance and energy. All these indicators are linked in some way to the group's two primary goals of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity among the bottom 40 percent of the population in developing countries, the group noted.

The race for the Oscars intensifies this week at the Toronto film festival, where a spotlight will be shined on US politics Cheap Nike Air Presto , youth radicalization, racism, feminism and alien arrivals.


Nearly 400 feature and short films from 83 countries and regions will be screened at the 41st Toronto International Film Festival, the largest such event in North America, which opens Thursday and runs through September 18.


The event is crucial for Oscar-conscious studios and distributors, attracting hundreds of filmmakers and actors to the red carpet in Canada's largest city.


In past years, films such as 12 Years a Slave Nike Air Presto Sale , The King's Speech and Slumdog Millionaire went on from winning the Toronto festival's audience prize for best picture to take the top honor at the Oscars.


Last year, audience favorite Spotlight beat all predictions to win best picture at the Academy Awards, while Brie Larson - who is back again this year in Free Fire and The Headhunter's Calling - received a nod for her performance in Room, which also screened here first.


"I don't think anyone last year thought that Spotlight would go all the way to best picture or that Room would break out and become the kind of phenomena that it did," said festival co-director Piers Handling.


Films being positioned for accolades this year include the new Denis Villeneuve sci-fi movie Arrival, and Oliver Stone's Snowden about former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden's massive 2013 leak revealing the extent of government snooping on private data.


Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's performances as a jazz musician and an aspiring actress who fall in love in the bewitching musical La La Land, which opened the Venice film festival before coming to Toronto Nike Air Presto Off White , has also stirred up a frenzy.


American Pastoral, which looks back at the ideal US family torn apart by upheavals of the 1960s, and the true story of a boy separated from his family who searches for home 25 years later in Garth Davis's Lion are also generating tremendous buzz.


The cast of Lion, which marks Ewan McGregor's directorial debut, includes Jennifer Connelly and Dakota Fanning.


"These films are getting serious attention and we'll see how that shakes down in the coming months," Handling commented.


Political trends


Several directors this year looked back through history for lessons that may still be relevant.


Historical political figures, notably Nike Air Presto Red , have been brought back to life on the silver screen, such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis played by Natalie Portman in Jackie and former US president Lyndon B. Johnson in LBJ.


As US President Barack Obama's term draws to a close, the film Barry reflects on his college days in New York.


"I don't know if it's coincidental, with this year's presidential election, that people are looking back," said Handling.


"But there's tremendous interest in dealing with historic subjects, trying to understand what these moments in history meant and in some way tie them in to the present."


The festival's opening film Nike Air Presto Orange , a remake of the 1960 Western The Magnificent Seven, starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lee Byung-hun and Peter Sarsgaard, "is an interesting metaphor for what's going on in America right now Nike Air Presto Green ," Handling told AFP.


"Westerns have always spoken directly to what is going on in present day America even though it's dealing with its history," he explained.


"This one certainly speaks to contemporary America.


"It's about a community under duress, under extreme pressure, and the people that come together to defend this community are representative of American society. It's an obvious metaphor for what America is going through these days."


Similarly, true stories Loving and A United Kingdom, about an African royal who marries an Englishwoman, offer insights into current US race relations.


Loving Nike Air Presto Black , which chronicles the battle to abolish a Virginia ban on interracial marriage, premiered at Cannes before coming to Toronto and is also in the Oscar running.


Ripped from the headlines, youth radicalization features in several films from Canada, Europe and Africa, including Nocturama, Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves, Layla M. and Foreign Body.


Heeding a call from women in Hollywood Nike Air Presto White , the Toronto film festival this year is also promoting more female directors and "female stories."


Almost 30 percent of the films on offer were made by women, and several more "deal with subject through the eyes of women," said Handling.

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators!
