رونق صنعت گردشگری فرانسه در سال ۲۰۰۴ میلادی

به نقل از آسوشيتد پرس وزارت گردشگرى فرانسه ضمن اعلام اين خبر افزود : على رغم تبعات روانى جنگ آمريكا بر ضد عراق ميزان جهانگردان خارجى كه به شهر پاريس در سال ۲۰۰۴ ميلادى مسافرت كردند نسبت به سال ۲۰۰۳ ميلادى بيش از ۵۰۰ هزار نفر افزايش نشان مى دهد. اين گزارش حاكى است در سال ۲۰۰۴ ميلادى بيش از ۲۵ ميليون جهانگرد خاجى از جاذبه هاى توريستى پاريس بازديد كرده اند. بر اساس اين گزارش پس از حملات تروريستى ۱۱ سپتامبر و شيوع بيمارى سارس صنعت توريسم فرانسه با ركود شديدى در سالهاى ۲۰۰۱ و ۲۰۰۲ ميلادى مواجه شده بود هر چند كه در سالهاى ۲۰۰۳ و ۲۰۰۴ ميلادى نيز به علت حمله نظامى آمريكا به عراق فرانسه بيش از ديگر كشورهاى اروپايى متضرر سياستهاى واشنگتن شده است. در سال ۲۰۰۴ ميلادى به ترتيب آمريكا انگليس و ايتاليا بيشترين آمار جهانگرد را به فرانسه داشته اند.
كمیته تحقیق ترور نماینده لبنان به سرنخ جدید دست‌یافتند

منابع سیاسی آگاه وابسته به روزنامه عكاظ فاش‌كردند بازرسان هلندی در كمیته بین‌المللی تحقیق ترور اخیر آنتوان غانم به سرنخ‌های جدید دست‌یافتند.
به نقل از روزنامه عربستانی "عكاظ"،این كمیته تحقیق توانسته‌اند تصویر شخصی را كه سوار بر آن خودروی بمب گذاری‌شده بوده است را پیداكنند.
این منابع اعلام‌كردند بازرسان پس از مشاهده و بررسی فیلم ویدیویی دوربین مخفی یكی از بانك‌های خیابانی كه در آن انفجار مذكور رخ گرفت توانستند تصویر شخصی را كه سوار بر آن خودرو بود و چند دقیقه قبل از انفجار از آن خارج‌شد كشف ‌كنند.
منابع وابسته به عكاظ افزودند: بررسی این نوار در خارج از لبنان انجام‌گرفته‌است تا تصویر دقیق شخص مذكور كه برای شناخت كامل هویت آن تلاش می‌شود بیابند.
آنتوان غانم نماینده مجلس لبنان و عضو حزب كتائب در یك انفجار تروریستی جان سپرد. وی ششمین نماینده اكثریت مجلس لبنان است كه قربانی ترورهای كوری شد كه طی چند سال اخیر اوضاع سیاسی لبنان را به شدت تحت تاثیر خود قرار داده است.
زمان بندی و نحوه اجرای عملیات ترور آنتوان غانم بسیار شبیه به دیگر ترورهای رخ داده در ظرف دو سال اخیر در این كشور است. نماینده ای از جناح اكثریت كه از ترس جان خود ، كشور را ترك و در امارات به‌سر می‌برد، چند ساعتی بود كه با هدف شركت در جلسه پارلمانی برای انتخاب رئیس حمهور جدید ، وارد لبنان شده و به سرعت تبدیل به "شهید انتخابات ریاست جمهوری" شد.
یك دستگاه خودروی بمب‌گذاری‌شده در منطقه "سن الفیل" در شرق بیروت به كشته‌شدن این نماینده از نمایندگان اكثریت لبنان و عضو حزب "الكتائب" و چهار نفر دیگر و زخمی‌شدن ۷۱نفرانجامید.
رمضان و افزایش تدابیر امنیتی در مسجدالاقصی

اگر چه اسرائیل از مدتها قبل اعلام کرده بود طی ماه رمضان به مسلمانان اجازه اقامه نماز در مسجدالاقصی را نمی دهد، اما مسلمانان فلسطین به صورت منسجم به اقامه نماز جمعه پرداختند، از این رو رژیم اشغالگر اسرائیل تدابیر امنیتی خود را در اطراف شهر قدس افزایش داده است.
با توجه به اینکه ماه رمضان در فلسطین از پنجشنبه گذشته آغاز شده است، مدتها قبل رژیم اشغالگر اسرائیل به منظور کاهش نمازگزاران و ممانعت از حضور آنها در مسجدالاقصی برای اقامه نماز و شعائر دینی تدابیر امنتیی و نظامی را افزایش داده است تا از ازدحام نمازگزاران و روزه داران و ورود آنها به مسجدالاقصی ممانعت به عمل آورد.
بنابراین با آغاز ماه مبارک رمضان اطراف مسجدالاقصی به یک پایگاه نظامی تبدیل شد که مورد حراست و نگهبانی نیروهای امنیتی، پلیس، نگهبانان مرزها قرار گرفت. از این رو آنها سعی داشته اند با افزایش تدابیر نظامی در اطراف قدس و معابر منتهی به شهر مذکور، جلوی اقامه نمازهای مسلمانان به ویژه نماز جمعه آنها را بگیرند.
اما مسلمانان قدس با وجود تدابیر شدید امنیتی به استقبال این ماه رفتند و از صبح پنجشنبه با انواع فانوسها و چراغها به تزئین خیابانها و کوچه ها پرداختند . این اقدامات که ازسوی اداره اوقاف قدس در نظر گرفته شده بود، زمینه ای برای حمایت از مسلمانان را فراهم آورد تا آنها بتوانند در این ایام به خواندن نماز و قرائت قرآن در مسجدالاقصی بپردازند.

Harnssing Different Platforms in Call for Farsi Learning

...Compute Applications in Language Studies ENGL 4740 HARNSSING DIFFERENT PLATFORMS IN CALL FOR FARSI LEARNING Name : Mahya Abolmasoomi Matric Number : 1021828 Date of submission : 2nd August, 2013 Submitted to : Mr. MazlanYusof INTRODUCTION In this day and age computers are used in every field including communication, business, broadcasting, education, etc. Lifestyles have drastically changed in the last few decades thanks to the emergence of the multimedia computer and the internet which have put language learners today in the integrative CALL phase. Today an abundance of software applications allow language learners of any language to enhance their four fundamental skills of language: speaking, writing, reading, and listening, at the same time developing their research and critical thinking abilities. These software applications can vary from CALL-specific software applications to generic ones. The point here is that there is an infinite number of ways to utilize different softwares in language learning. All it takes is creativity and determination. Warschauer mentioned that “The effectiveness of CALL cannot reside in the medium itself but only in how it is put to use.” What teachers and learners of language today must understand is that CALL does not necessarily involve CALL-specific softwares. There are four different types of CALL programs which are CALL-specific software, generic software, web-based learning programs, and computer-mediated communication...

Firoozeh Dumas's Short Story 'Funny In Farsi'

...How would you feel if you traveled 7,239 miles from home at age seven? Leaving your home, language, and culture can be challenging between states let alone entire continents. Both Firoozeh and her family had to adapt at alarming rates. In the short story Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas, she highlights specific incidents in her life as a young girl to show that it is not easy being a foreigner in an unfamiliar country. A stretching problem throughout the entirety of the text is that Firoozeh’s family has little to no knowledge of the english language. For example, when Firoozeh is asked to show her complete knowledge of the english language, all she can say is a few colors, “...proudly recited all that I knew: “White, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue, green.” When enrolling in her new...

...gaining by vieweing these peoples and nations through the lens of English? For instance how would reading a memoir in English about being an Iranian woman be dfferent from reading the same memoir in Farsi? ** Farsi: Offical language spoken in Iran Reading different cultures and study of other nations through books written in English could be challenging to readers if they are not aware of the author’s cultural frame of reference or social development, such as language, religion, tradition of family, community, cultural practices and the social context around them (Andersen and Taylor 9). The Author could use significant or metaphorical key factors or references in their literature, such as Germany in 1939 which represents for cold war, genocide or poverty that could be not easily understood or identified by readers who have insufficient historical or cultural understanding. As a result the reader could operate from an ethnocentric point of views, and fail to comprehend the core message. The reader could thereby miss out and fail to see new or other aspects in life such as how mankind still suffers under hidden discrimination, racism, nepotism, Nazism etc. For instance reading a memoir in English about being an Iranian woman could be different from reading the same memoir in Farsi because culture is symbolic. Symbols are things or behaviors to which people give meaning; the significance of culture lies in the meaning it holds for people (Andersen and Taylor 27). A language...

Education and Language

...Christopher Cox Patricia Huhn English 121 20 February 2012 Education and Language Education and its effects on the individual is the primary focus of the essays by Richard Rodriguez, Leslie Silko, Firoozeh Dumas, and Gloria Anzaldua. Rodriquez’s “Achievement of Desire” illustrates how education can take the place of one’s cultural tradition in pursuit of knowledge. The loss of language is the focus of Silko’s speech, “Language and Literature from a Pueblo Indian Perspective”. “The F Word” by Firoozeh Dumas shows how profound words in one language can be funny in another, as well as hurtful. In “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” by Gloria Anzaldua, she talks about how the education system tried to remove her culture by taking away her language. The two authors take opposite views on education and how it directly affected their lives. While embracing education by becoming a scholarship boy, Rodriquez shows how his desire for knowledge overcame his families’ desire for cultural tradition. Anzaldua expresses her feelings about how education continually tried to forcefully remove her Spanish heritage. The term “scholarship boy” came from Richard Hoggart’s The Uses of Literacy and means that the student must move between two culturally extreme environments during their progression of education. In Rodriquez’s account of his early educational experiences, he demonstrates Hoggart’s core definition of being a scholarship boy to the tee. While finishing his dissertation...

...that I wanted to succeed and be judged based on my character, integrity, and substance. I recognized through my friendship with David that true leadership requires character, and that developing and maintaining character takes grit and persistence. David taught me that gaining success in a capitalistic society is not a right but a responsibility and that it is possible to possess a tough-minded business sense and great humanity simultaneously. During all the years that I witnessed David's ascent in the business world, he never stopped working to achieve success, and I have adopted the same drive. Everyone has dreams, but I have learned to do the groundwork that will make my dreams into realities. I am multilingual, speaking English and Farsi, and I am in the process of learning additional languages-Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew, and German-that will allow me to communicate with an even wider audience. Like David, I do whatever I can to stay at the top and remain competitive, and although life is not perfect, I rarely take "no" for an answer.
