Dear Friends,
The UN
General Assembly on Monday held a special session to mark the 60th anniversary
of the end of World War II in
Louise Frechette, UN Deputy Secretary-General, told the meeting
that as the world looks back to honor the dead and pay respects to the heroes,
it was equally important to look ahead and "reaffirm our commitment to the
goal of building a world fit for humankind."
"That
is the best tribute we can pay to the millions who perished in World War
II," she said. "Our work is never done. We are undefeated only
because we have continued trying. That is the work of the United Nations, and
the reason we are here today."
Today,
the biggest enemy has a different face, making the U.N mission even harder than
before. Intolerance and Terrorism are our biggest
enemy.
On another level, we would like to share with you
the following good news:

Safety Preparedness – Backyard Pools
With the approach of the summer, those valuable tips
might save lives – it’s never too soon to be prepared.
Facts
and numbers
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, in recent years an average of about 250 children under 5 years old
drowned in pools nationwide annually. More than half of these deaths occurred
in the summer months. Among unintentional injuries, drowning is the second
leading cause of death to this age group after motor vehicle incidents. Another
2,700 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms each year for near-drowning
incidents. Most of these cases involve residential pools.
Layers
of protection
The key to preventing these tragedies is to have
layers of protection. This includes placing barriers around your pool to
prevent access, using alarms on doors that access the pool, and being prepared
in case of an emergency.
Though it seems obvious, close supervision of young
children is vital for families with a home pool - and not just when outside
using the pool. A common scenario is that young children leave the house
without a parent or caregiver realizing it. Children are drawn to water, not
knowing the terrible danger pools can pose. Also, just because children know
how to swim, doesn't mean they are drown-proof. All children should be
supervised every second while in and around the pool.
What
can be done?
·
Fences and walls should be at least 4 feet high and
installed completely around the pool. Fence gates should be self-closing and
self- latching. The latch should be out of a small child's reach. Keep furniture
that could be used for climbing into the pool area away from fences.
·
If your house forms one side of the barrier to the
pool, then doors leading from the house to the pool should be protected with alarms
that produce a sound when a door is unexpectedly opened.
·
A power safety cover -- a motor-powered barrier
that can be placed over the water area -- can be used when the pool is not in
use.
·
Keep rescue equipment by the pool and be sure a
phone is poolside with emergency numbers posted. Knowing cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) can be a lifesaver.
·
Don't leave pool toys and floats in the pool or
pool area that may attract young children to the water.
·
For above-ground pools, steps and ladders to the
pool should be secured and locked, or removed when the pool is not in use.
·
If a child is missing, always look in the pool
first. Seconds count in preventing death or disability.
·
Pool alarms can be used as an added precaution.
Look for alarms that meet the requirements of the ASTM standard. Safer

The landslide debris, liquefied
by the violent explosion, surged down the mountain at speeds in excess of 100
miles per hour. The avalanche flooded
Simultaneous with the
avalanche, a vertical eruption of gas and ash formed a mushrooming column over
the volcano more than 12 miles high. Ash from the eruption fell on Northwest
cities and towns like snow and drifted around the globe within two weeks.
Fifty-seven people, thousands of animals, and millions of fish were killed by
the eruption of
By late in the afternoon of May
18, the eruption subsided, and by early the next day it had essentially ceased.
The volcanic cone was completely blasted away and replaced by a
horseshoe-shaped crater-the mountain lost 1,700 feet from the eruption. The
volcano produced five smaller explosive eruptions during the summer and fall of
1980 and remains active today. In 1982, US Congress made
