    Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafi (Culture Resource) Organization launched in 2009 a regional initiative aims to identify the main features of cultural policy in Arab countries. The ultimate goal is to build a Knowledge Base that supports cultural planning and collaboration in the region, as well as propose mechanisms to develop cultural work in Arab countries. First stage of the project targeted preliminary surveys of policies, legislations, and practices that guide cultural work in eight Arab countries: Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco. The process of Monitoring was conducted in the period between May 2009 and January 2010 by Arab researchers from all eight countries, and thus “Ettijahat. Independent culture” as the regional coordinator of the project developed the surveys and updated its information and data through specialized researchers who reviewed the information and amended it based on the most recent developments in the cultural scene. The study has been completed according to the Compendium model which is adopted in study about cultural policies around the world. Research is divided into the following: 1- Cultural context from a social and historical perspective. 2- Administrative Subsidiarity and decision-making. 3- General objectives and principles of cultural policies. 4- Current topics debated in cultural policy development. 5- Main legal texts in the cultural field. 6- Financing of culture events and institutions. 7- Cultural institutions and new partnerships. 8- Supporting creativity and collaborations. This survey has been conducted in 2009 and 2010 by the researchers Rana Yazeji and Reem Al Khateeb. The original material of the current survey is found below in black.

  • Ship Covers Relating to the Iran/Iraq Tanker War
    THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR AND RENAMED TANKERS ~ Lawrence Brennan, (US Navy Ret.) SHIP COVERS RELATING TO THE IRAN/IRAQ TANKER WAR & REFLAGGED KUWAITI TANKERS, 1987-881 “The Kuwaiti fleet reads like a road map of southern New Jersey” By Captain Lawrence B. Brennan, U.S. Navy Retired2 Thirty years ago there was a New Jersey connection to the long-lasting Iran-Iraq War. That eight years of conflict was one of the longest international two-state wars of the 20th century, beginning in September 1980 and effectively concluding in a truce in August 1988. The primary and bloody land war between Iran and Iraq began during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. The Shah had left Iran and that year the USSR invaded Afghanistan. The conflict expanded to sea and involved many neutral nations whose shipping came under attack by the combatants. The parties’ intent was to damage their opponents’ oil exports and revenues and decrease world supplies. Some suggested that Iran and Iraq wanted to draw other states into the conflict. An Iranian source explained the origin of the conflict at sea. The tanker war seemed likely to precipitate a major international incident for two reasons. First, some 70 percent of Japanese, 50 percent of West European, and 7 percent of American oil imports came from the Persian Gulf in the early 1980s. Second, the assault on tankers involved neutral shipping as well as ships of the belligerent states.3 The relatively obscure first phase began in 1981, and the well-publicized second phase began in 1984. New Jersey, half a world away from the Persian (Arabian) gulf, became involved when the United States agreed to escort Kuwait tankers in an effort to support a friendly nation and keep the international waters open.

    LÖRDAG 10 JANUARI 2009 DAGENS NYHETER Oerfaren tränare leder Brommapojkarnas återkomst DN:s artikelserie om de allsvenska Stockholmstränarna fortsätter med Kim Bergstrand. Sidorna 4–5 ”Det är en utmaning” Jacobsson siktar på OS 2012 – blir den första handikappidrottaren i en av SOK:s OS-satsningar. Efter 16 guld i Paralympics satsar 2008 års bragdmedaljör Jonas Jacobsson mot nya höjder – OS i London 2012, för icke- funktionshindrade. Nyheten presenterades vid en presskonferens på Svenska olympiska kommitténs kansli på fredagen. 43-årigen från Krokek utanför Norrköping blir därmed den för- ste handikappidrottaren som tar plats i en OS-satsning. Och han är en äldste som debuterar i SOK:s topp- och talanggrupp, där han nu får samma status och uppbackning som Anja Pärson, Charlotte Kalla, Carolina Klüft och Susanna Kallur, för att nämna några. – Det är en utmaning, förklarar Jonas. Jag har funderat en hel del, eftersom jag har mycket att förlora om inte satsningen går hem. Men det som driver mig är att jag vill se hur bra jag kan bli som skytt. Den gren Jonas ska tävla i är 50 meter liggande, den gren han faktiskt anser sig vara svagast i för tillfället. Därmed kan han äventyra de andra disciplinerna med sin OS- satsning. LIGGANDE SKYTTE FINNS givetvis även i tävlingar för funktionshind- rade, men då sitter Jonas i rullsto- len och lutar armbågarna mot en specialanpassad skiva för att få samma stöd som golvet ger andra skyttar. I OS får han inte använda skivan, utan måste ligga på golvet, och han kan då heller inte till skillnad från övriga tävlande böja upp en benet för att få bättre stadga, eftersom han är förlamad från midjan och nedåt.
