			<title>Preparations are under way for the upcoming Assyria Day</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Sydney &#8211; Preparations are under way in Sydney - Australia for the upcoming celebration of Assyria day. This event will be held on 3rd July 2011 at 5:00pm at &#8220;Ur Ashur&#8221; located on 1677, the Horsley Drive, Horsley Park. The Assyrian Universal Alliance (AUA) designated the Assyria Day at its 27th World Congress held during 2nd - 4th December 2010 in Erbil, Iraq, and therefore requests all Assyrians throughout the world to observe this day as a symbol of our national revival day, &#8220;Return to Assyria.&#8221;According to Mr. Hermiz Shahen (Deputy Secretary General and the Regional Secretary of the AUA in Australia & New Zealand), the organizing committee is preparing for this great event and has sent invitations to all of our organizations & parties to attend and participate in this national occasion. This event aims at sending a message regarding the rights of the Assyrians to safely return to their homeland, to affirm their rights to exist in harmony, peace & security with their neighbors by exercising the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and all other international conventions and treaties which emphasize refugee&#8217;s right of return. It also supports the demands of the Assyrians in their pursuit of an autonomous federal province or state.The Assyria Region is crucial for the survival of the Assyrians of Iraq, and will allow for a greater local Assyrian control within the context of an integrated and sovereign Iraqi state.  Such a region will allow for increased peace, stability and balance throughout the whole region.Mr. Shahen continued that AUA has submitted a number of appeals and has entered into negotiations with various governments and international organizations on behalf of the Assyrian Nation. The objective of such efforts has been to advance the Assyrian cause internationally on both humanitarian and political fronts.  AUA strives to demonstrate that Diaspora Assyrians aspire to live in peace and harmony as worthy members of their host societies. As to the Assyrian people who remain in their homeland, AUA seeks the support of democratic governments and international bodies in defending their indigenous rights and their highly cherished national identity, culture, heritage, language and religion.]]></description>

"A lot of new immigrant groups go through a period of cultural conflict when they&#8217;re susceptible to discrimination and bullying," says Knox, director of the National Gang Crime Research Center, based in Peotone, 40 miles south of Chicago.

			<title>Ancient world dictionary finished &#8212; after 90 years</title>
			<description><![CDATA[By Sharon CohenThe Associated PressIt was a monumental project with modest beginnings: a small group of scholars and some index cards. The plan was to explore a long-dead language that would reveal an ancient world of chariots and concubines, royal decrees and diaries - and omens that came from the heavens and sheep livers.The year: 1921. The place: The University of Chicago. The project: Assembling an Assyrian dictionary based on words recorded on clay or stone tablets unearthed from ruins in Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey, written in a language that hadn't been uttered for more than 2,000 years. The scholars knew the project would take a long time. No one quite expected how very long.Decades passed. The team grew. Scholars arrived from Vienna, Paris, Copenhagen, Jerusalem, Berlin, Helsinki, Baghdad and London, joining others from the U.S. and Canada. One generation gave way to the next, one century faded into the next. Some signed on early in their careers; they were still toiling away at retirement. The work was slow, sometimes frustrating and decidedly low-tech: Typewriters. Mimeograph machines. And index cards. Eventually, nearly 2 million of them.]]></description>
