I know you are sitting on pins and needles wondering where I've been. Well, life got really crazy last week with UIL One-Act Play Competition. All in all - we didn't advance. We didn't even make it out of Zone (the first level). Sometimes these competitions are a crapshoot. There's one judge and it's his/her opinion. Personally, I think we did a fantastic show and there is nothing we should be ashamed of. I'm very proud of the kids and their hard work!
Now, one thing about not advancing is that now I have more free time! And more time to blog! However, I'm feeling a bit uninspired. I don't want to be a blog where I just show off pictures. I've got to get my creative thinking cap on (you think I do that enough already)!
In the meantime, I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and is having a fantastic spring!

Franklin Morales should get used to starting, because it appears increasingly unlikely he'll be doing anything else this season. With the Boston Red Sox in desperate need of consistency from their starting pitchers, Morales once again showed he's ready to take the job in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Twins. Making his first start since July 13, Morales limited the Twins to one run on three hits and three walks over six innings. "I'd like to talk about him a lot," said manager Bobby Valentine. "He pitched six great innings. When you need some zeroes, you need some length. I was really impressed with the way he and Salty used all those pitches. A lot of changeup strikes. He threw a lot of curveballs that just missed, but they were effective and his fastball was there for all six innings. That's very impressive." Morales owns a 2.70 ERA in his last 14 outings since June 3, with 51 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings. He has limited opponents to ...

My final two reviews as part of the 2008-09 TOS Homeschool Crew are for products I received from Memoria Press. A family owned business, Memoria offers numerous original curricula with a Classical Education philosophy. They have books covering Latin, logic & rhetoric, French, handwriting copybooks for both manuscript and cursive, Christian studies, Classical Studies (history lessons from classical time periods), as well as various resource books and an online academy.
Memoria Press graciously sent the Prima Latina foreign language curriculum for my family to try and review. I've always wanted the boys to learn one or more foreign languages (preferably fluently). We've done work with both sign language and Spanish but have never had a true curriculum – just a sign language picture book and Spanish conversation CDs written for adults.
We've been using Prima Latina for about a month now, and I am very pleased with the layout of the program and the results. We received both the student book and teacher manual, the audio Pronunciation CD, and the Instructional DVDs.
Each lesson contains five new Latin vocabulary words with their English definitions and derivatives. A derivative is an English word that has as its root a Latin word. For example clamo means "I shout" and the English word "clamor" is a derivative of clamo that means a loud uproar.
In addition to the vocabulary words, proper pronunciation of each Latin consonant and vowel is taught. A line or two from a prayer is taught each week as well. It's fun to learn a Latin prayer – it makes me think of the priests of the Middle Ages and even later who always conducted their services in Latin.
Written exercises are part of each lesson – two pages for each lesson. The exercises are simple – writing out the vocabulary words and their English counterparts and answering questions like "What would you call a female teacher?" Each Prima Latina lesson is intended to last one week – either as a once weekly lesson or as a daily lesson. We've been doing Latin lessons two days per week, and this is working well for us.
On the first day, Nicholas and I orally go over the new vocabulary words, lines of the prayer, and pronunciation rules. We review the words and prayer from the previous weeks. I then have him complete the first page of the written exercises.
On the second day, a few days after the first, we review the new material from the current lesson and listen to the Pronunciation CD. I then have Nicholas complete the second page of the written exercises. Sometimes we watch the Instructional DVD but normally we don't.
Prima Latina is set up in a simple, slow-paced fashion that works very well for a young elementary aged child learning a foreign language for the first time. It's designed for grades Kindergarten through fourth. Even James, who is pre-K, is learning the Latin vocabulary though, of course, he doesn't do any of the writing exercises.
The lessons could easily be completed and learned well without the Pronunciation CD or Instructional DVD, though it is nice to hear the pronunciations on the CD. One thing that confuses me, though, is that some of the words on the CD are pronounced differently from how one would pronounce them according to the rules given in the manual. For example, the textbook says that the vowel 'u' is pronounced oo, as in boo. One of the vocabulary words in the first lesson is ambulo which would be pronounced am – boo – lo, right? On the CD, however, it's pronounced am – byu – lo with the 'u' having a sound identical to the word "you." That confuses me, and I'm curious why there is a discrepancy. Maybe I'll email to ask eventually, but as yet I haven't done that.
The Instructional DVD shows Leigh Lowe, the author of Prima Latina, teaching the material from the manual. She does a very good job on the DVD and isn't at all boring to listen to. She's got a good personality for being video taped that way. The instruction she gives on the DVD is a repeat of the information presented in the student book. For my family, watching the DVD was too redundant so we stopped watching it.
Prima Latina progresses to Latin phrases and verb conjugations while retaining the same simplified format of the beginning lessons. For anyone interested in beginning a Latin curricula with their young elementary students, I would highly recommend Prima Latina. It is designed as a beginning point that will enable students to move into Latina Christiana I and II, also by Memoria Press.
Memoria offers free online games to reinforce the Prima Latina lessons. Check them out here.
The Prima Latina student book and teacher manual are $14.00 each, and the Pronunciation CD is $4.95. The Instructional DVDs are available in a 3-disc set for $45. A package set including all of these materials plus flashcards can be bought for $90.90.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Choosing to learn Spanish online is an excellent choice for just about any situation, whether you are a busy professional, or a college student looking for something a bit outside the ordinary learning experience. Generally it's possible to do extremely well in online language learning classes, but with the correct supplementary resources, you can out perform your peers.
Here are 3 things that when combined with online study, will maximize your results.
1. Skype
It's not one often thought about, but the proliferation of free or reduced cost VOIP services like Skype can do wonders for your Spanish language learning. Why? Because it allows you to communicate in real time, generally for free or very cheaply, with other people.
When this type of service is combined with a private tutoring session, or better yet with a free language exchange where you meet new friends and then interact in the target language on a regular basis, language skills will be much improved.
What they say is true, if you don't use it, you lose it, and the more you use it the better you are.
2. Spanish Movies And Books
Reading, and watching movies in Spanish, or any target language is an excellent way to learn quickly. Both forms of media offer the chance to experience the language from different perspectives, and often there is cultural content as well.
If you have a favorite book, be daring and read the Spanish version next time with a dictionary near by.
You will slowly gain an intrinsic understanding of written grammar, and will eventually be able to completely comprehend more advanced Movies are similar, except that obviously the feedback is different, it is auditory and visual, as opposed to just visual.
Exposure to both aspects though is very important if you wish to achieve maximum fluency in a short amount of time.
3. A Comprehensive Book Of Verb Forms
The most obvious resource on the list, but probably one of the most important. Spanish is a language with very simple grammar, however verb forms are very important, and knowing the irregularities and where they exist, while being able to recall and use those at the drop of a hat will only mean success.
With these three supplemental resources, your choice to learn Spanish online will not be one you regret.

Privacy Leakage in Mobile Online Social Networks
Source: AT&T Labs
Mobile Online Social Networks (mOSNs) have recently grown in popularity. With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices and a rapid shift of technology and access to OSNs, it is important to examine the impact of mobile OSNs from a privacy standpoint. The authors present a taxonomy of ways to study privacy leakage and report on the current status of known leakages. They find that all mOSNs in the study exhibit some leakage of private information to third parties.

Miami Bungalow Love
I heart bungalows. One of the best building types, and an endangered species throughout Miami, where it was once widespread. This is exactly the type of housing the City of Miami should be restoring - not tearing down (as they recently voted to allow with a zoning change along 12th avenue – a bastion of bungalow frontage). Check out some of my favorites from around East Little Havana….

Mari Chael says:
Bungalows and little houses on compact lots are the staple in many older historic neighborhoods and are great for starter housing, singles, and just about anyone that is satisfied by the "small is beautiful" ethos. Why tear them down?
Anonymous says:
i live in this area in a tall condo building and gaze with longing at these houses as i ride my bike past, i would love to take on a restoration project on one of these bad boys.

Mike Moskos says:
If you notice a lot of them have second floors or venting to allow the warm air to flow up and out.
Bernie says:
Is a map available with the streets and avenues notated. Also, is there a similar map which includes the Allapattah neighborhood where a large number of bungalows remain intact.

Bed Sores |
Monday, 18 February 2008 16:52 | Print page: | |
Alternative names: Decubitus Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers, Pressure Sores, Bed Sores, Dermal Ulcers, Pressure Wounds A bed sore is an area of skin and tissue that becomes injured or broken down. Generally, bed sores occur when a person is in a sitting or lying position for too long without shifting his or her weight. The constant pressure against the skin causes a decreased blood supply to that area. Without a blood supply, the area cannot survive and the affected tissue dies. Pressure ulcers are extremely difficult to heal. The resulting wound can be painful, destroy tissue, fat, muscle and can lead to death. Pressure as small as 60 mm Hg. to a body surface for 1-2 hours initiates the process of skin breakdown. Shear, friction, moisture and chemical irritants exacerbate the process. A 2-hour time frame is a generally accepted maximum interval that the tissue can tolerate pressure without damage. A patient who cannot change position without assistance should be turned and repositioned at least every two hours, more frequently if needed, with the use of pillows as support. Chronic wounds aren't particularly attractive, in fact they're revolting to look at and excruciatingly painful if you have one, but they affect over 270,000 elderly people in Australia today. In a lot of cases, they are so debilitating that even administering morphine to dull the pain doesn't work. The main problem faced by sufferers is not that they can't get better, but that they can't afford to pay for treatment. Wound treatment is cost effective but expensive, and there is no funding for treatment via PBS or Medicare. Bearing in mind that wounds usually effect the elderly who are often the poorest members of the community, in an enormous number of cases patients don't get treatment because they simply can't afford to pay for it. To me that just doesn't seem right in a first world country like Australia in 2008. Bedsore FactsWhether you have endured a pressure wound yourself, or have felt helpless watching the agony of a loved one, you have suffered. Many people have sent messages to us asking for information. A theme that runs through all of these messages is complete amazement that such a thing could happen:
This web site, and its links to resources, is aimed at correcting these omissions. Publications, posters, advertisements, and publicity are all means to carry out this goal. Our efforts at education also have the goal of convincing government leaders that denying funding for available specialised care for the elderly and frail is false economy. Your support to this cause can be your testimony that, having experienced the suffering caused by pressure wounds, you are going to do your part to insure that your loved one [or even you], can escape this agony in the future. Due to staffing shortages, medical funding cuts and other issues, many care facilities are chronically understaffed. This results in patients not being turned, cleaned and fed as often as the ideal standard of nursing would dictate. Massive deep wounds over Stage 2 and chronic infections continue to be an unacceptable standard of care. Such wounds are generally a strong indication of negligence in more than one area. Where do "Bed Sores" appear? The most common places for bedsores are over bony prominences (bones close to the skin), such as the elbow, heels, hips, ankles, shoulders, back, coccys/tailbone, and the back of the head. Who's At Risk? Anyone who must stay in a bed, chair or wheelchair because of illness or injury, or who cannot change position without help is at high risk. Why are Seniors more Vulnerable to this Deadly Medical Condition? In a nursing home setting, turning is costly and dependent on adequate staffing ratios. The use of restraints on residents and/or the lack of incontinence rehabilitation compound the problem. If a nursing home has a higher than normal percentage of patients with pressure ulcers because the facility specialises in wound care, the staffing level should be commensurate with the higher level of care required. Seniors are particularly vulnerable because their skin usually becomes thinner and more fragile with age. How Long Does it take to happen? Bedsores can develop in a matter of hours. Most Likely Places to Occur? Decubitus ulcers can happen during hospitalisation, in a nursing home or in a community setting. " Don't let anyone fool you, 98 percent of all bedsores or 'decubitus ulcers' as they are called, are preventable." Newer articles:

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This post originally appeared on Brian Elder's blog, Caution—Under Construction, on September 9, 2011)
It's quite common and natural to feel a sense of pride and satisfaction when we or those we hold dear have done well. The problem is that we often let pride become an idol in our lives. A heart full of pride leads to anger, anxiety, unforgiveness, broken relationships, lack of satisfaction, jealousy, envy, financial loss, an unwillingness to change, etc.
I have to admit that this is an area in which I have struggled lately. My son is a senior in high school and is blessed with the ability to play the game of soccer at a very high level. He is being recruited by several schools to play soccer for them. Yes, I am proud of him. I want the very best for him. What parent wouldn't?
Unfortunately, I have allowed pride to "blind" me. I see other boys my son has played with and against make their college commitments and envy begins to set in. I hear about coaches recruiting other kids but not my own and I become angry. This has led me to put unintentional and unnecessary pressure on him. This hit home for me when we had a discussion recently about this whole process. My son expressed that he was completely "overwhelmed" and wasn't sure what he wanted to do. It hit me that I was concerned with what I wanted for him more than with what God's plan for him may be.
I encourage you to examine your life and see if pride has caused a crack in the foundation of your heart. If ignored, it can lead to much sorrow, despair, and regret. If dealt with, it will bring peace, joy, and contentment. The Bible says that "before his downfall a man's heart is proud, but humility comes before honor" (Proverbs 18:12 NIV).
Have a Blessed Day!!

Lt. Gov. Yvonne Prettner Solon is scheduled to skydive with the U.S. Army on Tuesday.
In a news release, Prettner Solon says she'll join the Golden Knights, the U.S. Army Parachute Team, on a tandem skydive exercise in St. Paul. The group will jump from an altitude of 12,500 feet and will fall at a rate of 120 miles an hour. They'll land on the Minnesota State Capitol grounds.
"The men and women of our Armed Forces put their lives in danger every day in defense of our freedom and our way of life," Prettner Solon said in a statement. "I am honored to join the Golden Knights in this public demonstration of support for those who selflessly serve our country."
MPR News first inquired about the jump last month and a spokesman for the governor said Prettner Solon would not be involved. A spokesman for the governor says she became open to the jump after learning more about it. Jumping with one of the U.S. Army's premier skydiving units may have eased her concern.
MPR listeners are invited to join the Army in front of the Minnesota State Capitol on Tues., Sept. 25th, at 2:00 PM for a spectacular performance by your United States Army Parachute Team, The Golden Knights.
The Gold Demonstration Team and Lieutenant Governor Yvonne Prettnor Solon, jumping with the Tandem Team, will leap from the Golden Knights plane at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet and gaining speeds in excess of 120 miles-per-hour. The 20-minute demonstration concludes as each Golden Knight and the Lt. Gov., lands on the mall lawn in front of the Capitol.
Following the free-fall performance Governor Mark Dayton, Lt. Governor Prettnor Salon, and Secretary of State Mark Ritchie will sign an Army Community Covenant with Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army Harry Sieben, Jr., Army Reserve Ambassador Thomas Haugo, and Lieutenant Colonel John Hinck, commander of Army and Army Reserve recruiting for Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Bring your lawn chair and sunglasses. The public is invited.

One week into the fourth year of the war in Iraq, the United States is now fighting two robust insurgencies, not one. The first insurgency, of course, is the Sunni-led one, a resistance movement made up of former and current Iraqi Baathists, many loyal to Saddam Hussein, former Iraqi military officers and fighters from the old Republican Guard and a coalition of tribal and Sunni religious leaders bitterly opposed to the U.S. occupation. That force shows no sign of weakening. And indeed, it is steadily killing American soldiers and Marines, along with scores of Iraqi army and police recruits weekly.
But now a Shiite insurgency has emerged—nearly full-blown and with Iranian support—to confront the occupation. Because it can draw on the majority of Iraq's population, and because it can count on lethal assistance from Tehran, it is a far more deadly threat to U.S. forces than the first insurgency. It's safe to say that most Americans, who've been paying attention to the first insurgency, have failed to notice the emergence of the second.
Needless to say, the two insurgencies are also battling each other, in what can only be called Iraq's civil war. There's little chance that they will unite against their common foe, the United States. But that doesn't make the situation any less deadly for U.S. forces in Iraq. What is means is that the United States is now fighting virtually the entire Iraqi Arab population. Only the non-Arab Kurds seem loyal to the United States now, and the notoriously fickle Kurds, famed for shifting their allegiances on a dime, can't be counted on as permanent friends, either.
Last week, Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, the neoconservative warrior who is America's proconsul in Baghdad, officially declared war on the second insurgency. In a definitive interview in The Washington Post, Khalilzad threw down the gauntlet against Iran and its Shiite allies, accusing the Iranian military and secret service of sponsoring the militias, paramilitary forces and death squads who are wreaking havoc in Baghdad and across southern Iraq. "Our judgment is that training and supplying, direct or indirect, takes place, and that there is also provision of financial resources to people, to militias, and that there is presence of people associated with [Iran's] Revolutionary Guard and with [Iran's] MOIS," said Khalilzad. (The MOIS is Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security.) He went on to declare, accurately, that more Iraqis are being killed by the second insurgency than by the first. "More Iraqis in Baghdad are dying—if you look at the recent period of two, three weeks—from the [Shiite] militia attacks than from the terrorist car bombings."
Khalilzad's declaration capped a period of several months during which the United States has turned to confront the second insurgency. It represents a major shift by Washington, and it began late last year when U.S. forces raided the infamous torture prison in which hundreds of Sunnis detainees were being held illegally, tortured with electric drills and murdered. Since then, gradually, while continuing to battle the first insurgency, U.S. forces have engaged the Shiites, too. From time to time, U.S. forces have seized death squads in action, uncovered more Shiite-run torture prisons and skirmished with forces allied to Moqtada Al Sadr's Mahdi Army, one of the Iranian-allied Shiite militias. Further, Khalilzad definitively broke with Iraq's interior minister, Bayan Jabr, an official with the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, whose own militia, called the Badr Brigade, is a 20,000-strong force created and armed by Iran.
Then, on Sunday, just days after Khalilzad's declaration of war against Insurgency II, U.S. forces led an attack against a fortified Shiite compound in Baghdad. That raid, it should be noted, was apparently carried out with the able assistance of Iraqi army units made up of Kurds, who enthusiastically massacred Mahdi Army forces inside what may or may not have been a mosque.
The result, so far at least, is nothing short of a full-blown crisis, in which the entire Shiite spectrum—from Sadr's Mahdi Army to SCIRI to Prime Minister Jaafari's Al Dawa party, which has its own small militia—sees itself in open conflict with the United States. Virtually the entire Shiite coalition is condemning the United States, attacking Khalilzad for allegedly favoring the Sunnis and threatening to end its cooperation with the United States. Unsaid, of course, is the possibility that many of the Shiite militias might start to attack U.S. and British forces in Iraq, something they have mostly refrained from doing thus far. Making matters worse, President Bush and Ambassador Khalilzad imperiously told the Shiites this week that their choice for Iraq's permanent prime minister, Ibrahim Al Jaafari, was unacceptable. It was a stunning diktat that belies the American insistence that Iraq is a democracy. Rather unconvincingly, Khalilzad told the Post: "I have been reduced—and I am not complaining—to an observer, which is a good thing." Some observer.
So the United States is now engaged in a two-front war in Iraq. One obvious danger is that as tensions between the United States and Iran-linked Shiites in Iraq grow, the simmering conflict between the United States and Iran could come to a boil. The United States is already pushing hard for a showdown with Tehran over its alleged program to develop nuclear weapons. And there are clear signs of a U.S. effort to force regime change in Iran (see "Déjà Vu All Over Iran"), with the creation of a State Department Office of Iranian Affairs, U.S. efforts to recruit Iranian exiles, $85 million to support anti-regime groups and propaganda and more. Does Khalilzad realize that by confronting the Iraqi Shiites, he could precipitate a larger conflict with Iran? Is that his intention?
Most likely, there is no grand plan at this stage for the Bush administration's Iran-Iraq policy. Not only are Bush administration officials divided among themselves, it is likely that no one in the administration has any idea what to do about either Iraq or Iran. Both crises are beyond the White House's ability to solve, and it is safe to assume that they are scrambling madly, desperately trying for a magic formula that can stabilize Iraq and neutralize Iran simultaneously. The maddeningly shifting alliances inside Iraq among Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds—and the internal factions of each—make finding that winning combination almost as hard as picking the right lottery numbers. What Bush, Karl Rove and rest of the Bush team know is that if something isn't done, fast, the GOP is toast in the 2006 elections.
For Bush and company, it may be all politics. But for the Iraqis, it is a steady diet of carnage. Scores of bodies turn up every day throughout Baghdad, many tied, bound and gagged and showing signs of having been tortured to death. Mass graves—that supposed relic of the Saddam years—are turning up again, and this time the bodies are fresh. Post-Saddam Iraq has become a nightmare, a Mad Max world in which warlords rule. It is not, as the president wants us to believe, a model for democracy in the Middle East. And the French, the Russians, the Chinese, the Arab League, the United Nations, the State Department, the CIA and the U.S. anti-war movement can all say: I told you so.

Mayor Rob Ford was finally released from hospital on Thursday afternoon, after admitting himself Tuesday night.
After hours of speculation about what exactly was wrong with him, Ford's office released this statement on Wednesday:
Yesterday morning, Mayor Rob Ford missed an important announcement due to what was believed to be an adverse reaction to food. He was very disappointed to miss the event, a major milestone in the privatization of residential waste pick up in Toronto. It was the fulfillment of a promise he'd made during the campaign and he very much wanted to be there.
Last evening, Mayor Ford went to a local hospital where he was seen by a physician and subsequently admitted for overnight observation. Since then, he has undergone a number of routine tests and remains under doctor's care. Doctors have identified an irritation in the Mayor's throat and stomach which have aggravated his asthma and he is being treated for those conditions.
The Mayor is in good spirits and is resting comfortably. He is looking forward to going home as soon as doctors allow.
Mayor Ford extends his sincere thanks to everyone who has expressed their concern and well wishes. The support has been wonderful.
The Mayor understands and appreciates the media interest in his health, however, he would ask that media respect the privacy of his family members as the come and go while visiting.

The unlimited team had week 3 off due to the Easter holiday weekend.
On April 10th, the new Masters Team (Over 40) registered their first win ever by defeating Annapolis United 6-4 in a hotly contested, physical and at times unsporting encounter. The bhoys went down early a very dubious PK was awarded for a shirt tug on a corner kick. Not worried, the bhoys battled back and went into the half up 3-1. Annapolis came back and played an aggressive, physical game trying to pressure and drawing several yellows as a result. Celtic stayed on their game, moved the ball around well, and banged home 3 more goals. Annapolis got several more goal in this half, two off of corner where Celtic's man marking completely fell apart (and ongoing problem with this team that we are in the process of addressing). Still, the win was decisive and Annapolis complained bitterly after the match that not all of Celtic's jerseys had numbers on them! Team management dropped off the jerseys at a printer today, but we're under no illusions that the complaining will stop!
On April 12th, the Old Bhoys tied PAX City 3-3 in the third Over 30 game of the season. Celtic dominated possession, camped out in PAX's half of the field for the entire second half but had major problems finishing, hitting the woodwork on multiple occasions. Credit is also due to PAX's keeper who had a hell of a game. Celtic goals by Justin Young, Mike Reed and Rohan Weber. Old Bhoys are now 1-1-1.

Sustainable Arabia: Clean Energy Conference Concludes
2012-06-15 17:40:50
WAM Dubai, Jun 15th, 2012 (WAM)--The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE) has hosted recently here a regional policy dialogue among concerned parties from the Arab countries to prepare for the forthcoming UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June 2012, Rio De Janeiro.
The "Sustainable Arabia: Clean Energy" conference discussed the Green Economy and how it is linked to sustainable development. The forum came up with a set of important recommendations that should be taken into account to support the foundations of sustainable development driven in the Arab countries.
"These recommendations are of great importance and reflect the UAE's concern as being a global leading hub for research, development and sustainability. The UAE has made great strides and adopted several leading initiatives in this field. I'd like here to refer to the quote of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, "The UAE is striving to develop and boost its rich resources and expertise in the international energy markets and enhance its leading role as a world centre for renewable energy research and development.", and also the quote of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, �We recognise that preserving our energy resources will be one of the greatest challenges in our drive towards sustainable development. This, however, will not materialise unless the different facets of our society adopt energy conservation principles in their core values. The future generations will be the chief beneficiary of our achievements and the best judge of what we accomplish in this field," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the DSCE.
"The recommendations also tackled all social and development facets and the importance of reconsidering the prioritisation of the development's and to notably give the social pillar greater attention in order to achieve social justice, create new job opportunities, and to reduce the brain drain, especially amongst the youth." "The recommendations also discussed the main regional challenges including poverty eradication, job creation, the right to development, social cohesion, women's rights, the right to access information and knowledge, the needs of youth, trade liberalization, the transfer and localization of appropriate technology, finance mechanisms and capacity building," he added.
They also tackled the emerging challenges facing the Arab countries and adaptation to climate change risks, the impacts of the global financial and economic crisis, and the unprecedented population growth and urbanization over the past years.

World War II
1942 | England
Lynn enlisted in the Army Air Force on 4/21/1942 in Spokane Washington. His enlistment records indicate his civilian occupation was Automobile Serviceman. He was stationed at Camp Robinson in Arkansas and then March Field in California. On Thanksgiving day, 1942 he was aboard the Queen Elizabeth headed for England. "We just took off...no escorts. We zigzagged across the Atlantic". After 6 days they landed in Glasgow, Scotland. He did not get seasick on the trip.
While in Britain, Lynn was stationed at Bury St Edmunds Air base attached to the 9th Air Force which was a B26 bomber squadron. He was in ordinance which supplied bombs for the planes. Lynn remembers getting passes to London. He remembers the "buzz-bombs" coming over the base, but no real air-raids. He remembers seeing Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum and St Paul's Cathedral while on tours of the city that the Red Cross provided the airmen.
After spending 2 1/2 years in England he spent 6 months in France and Belgium.
On Thanksgiving day, 1945 Lynn was on a Liberty Ship returning to the United States. This time it took 1 1/2 weeks to cross the ocean. They landed in Newport News, Virginia and Lynn was discharged in Fort Lewis, Washington.
