Dr Saad Eskander, Director of the Iraq National Library & Archives (INLA) is appealing for help. His institution has been occupied by the US Military and by the Iraqi National Guard. This is putting the lives of staff at risk, it is also treating Iraqs heritage with contempt. Please note that INLA refers to Director of the Iraq National Library & Archives. Please publicise this news as widely as possible. Can you spread the following news about the national guards' occupation of Iraq National Library & Archive. I need all the support I can get from around the world. Perhaps you can contact some newspapers.

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams MP/MLA has today launched the annual Sinn Féin Slógadh in Howth, Dublin (19-21 October) and has urged all Irish speakers and learners everywhere to take part and enjoy the numerous events. Mr Adams said: "Sinn Féin has been to the forefront in promoting the importance and safeguarding the position of the Irish language and culture during the negotiations leading to the Good Friday Agreement and St Andrews Agreement on an all-Ireland basis." Sinn Féin is the only political party to organise an annual Irish language conference. The Slógadh brings together gaelgeoiri for debate, music and craic. It is open to everyone. The survival and revival of Irish has been our country's cultural success story. More and more people are using Irish. Young children in particular are being educated in increasing numbers through the medium of Irish and it is their future and their rights that must be cherished. read full story / add a comment

Casual holiday-season surfers of international news/diplomatic temperature indicators will of course have noticed the Arctic & its potential exploitation are on the agenda. Naturally it's not presented in a cool, sexy, ice-cream way, nor for the moment in horrible cub-clubbing whale slaughtering dirtiness - but the nugget cold war seems for the moment to have left Dharfur, Dead Spies, Tehran's nukes & the mostly French Clearstream scandal's trillion dollar graft behind. It is almost as if we are all wishing on the falling stars & meteorite showers the Perseids which annually offer us a bit of make-believe. There is of course an Irish as well as Southern European dimension to what is being presently spun varyingly as the "Arctic cold war" or "Rush to claim Arctic hydrocarbons". Because to be quite honest all this "divying up the Arctic" has been on the cards (or runestones) for a long time now, I thought to bring you through it. read full story / add a comment
