[email protected] lcohol is illegal in Kuwait and because of this, there is little to no discussion about alcoholism, Aits impact on the individual, the family or socie- ty. Yet alcoholism cuts across all social, nationality, economic and racial barriers. It can also be found in many homes in Kuwait and security forces regularly arrest smugglers or home brewers. Setting aside the illegality of the matter, however, the question of alco- holism is seldom addressed for several reasons. First, given that alcohol is illegal, it’s a closed subject. How can someone seek treatment for alcoholism when they are not supposed to be drinking in the first place? Many would fear legal action or criminal charges for possession or consumption. Second, unlike in many countries where alcohol can be publicly consumed, drinking here is typically done in private and so only a few people - family and close friends - may know that someone has a prob- lem. Problems kept in the dark don’t just go away. Whether you view it as a disease or a self inflicted harm, whether you outlaw it or permit it, alcoholism can lead to many other societal problems including divorce, domestic abuse, violence, unemployment, child abuse, lack of productivity, car accidents and much more. So what can someone do if they or a loved one are an alcoholic in Kuwait? There are a few Al Anon-type groups that meet here, though for obvious reasons they are kept pri- vate. Some local clinics and hospitals also offer reha- bilitation and treatment options. Someone seeking help should also consider going for treatment abroad, as many countries offer affordable rehabilitation clin- ics and options. Meanwhile, a more modern, proactive approach to dealing with the issue should be adopted by the government. Refusing to acknowledge that there is a problem does no one - neither the alcoholic, his family or society any good. First Arab military judiciary summit AMMAN: The first Arab military judiciary conference yes- terday stressed the importance of enshrining the inde- pendence of military judiciary principle in laws and consti- tutions as it is a significant part of the judicial authority. Concluding their three-day meeting, participants called for introducing objective and procedural reforms to achieve this goal. They recommended increasing the levels of liti- gation at military courts in order to be in conjunction with civil courts system and to attain international standards for fair trial. The conferees also stressed importance of estab- lishing a permanent Arab military judiciary body to boost cooperation among military judiciary institutions in Arab countries. The Kuwaiti delegation presented during yesterday’s session a paper outlining legislative and legal develop- ments of Kuwaiti military judiciary since its establishment, Dr Khaled Al-Otaibi, head of the Kuwaiti delegation, stated to KUNA. The Kuwaiti paper also highlighted Kuwaiti mili- tary judiciary’s significant accomplishments, disciplinary trials and proposed laws, he added. Delegations from Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco, Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Oman, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian Authority, Tunisia, Yemen and the Arab League participated in the conference. — KUNA Local FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 2014 Local Spotlight Naivety makes for easy theft victims By Muna Al-Fuzai house’s door.

  • Physics of Tennis Lesson 4 Energy
    The Physics of Tennis Lesson 4: Energy changes when a ball interacts with different surfaces Unit Overview: In this unit students continue to develop understanding of what can be at first glance a complicated system, the game of tennis. In this activity we have taken two components of the game of tennis, the ball and court, to see if we can model the interactions between them. This activity focuses on the energy interactions between ball and court. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Describe what forces interact when the ball hits a surface. • Understand what changes occur when potential and kinetic energy conversion is taking place within a system. At the high school level students should include connections to the concept of “work =FxD” and calculations of Ek = ½ 2 mv and Ep =mgh according to the conservation of energy principal. • Identify the types of energy used in this system. (restricted to potential & kinetic energy) • Comparative relative energy losses for typical court compositions. Lesson Time Required: Four class periods Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards: • NGSS: HS-PS3-1.Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. • CCSS.Math. Content: 8.F.B.4 Use functions to model relationships between quantities. • Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.
