PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center celebrated the upcoming Memorial Day with a ceremony on Presidio’s Soldier Field May 21.

Special honors were given to Spc. Christopher A. Landis, whose name was added to the Dedication Plaque this year.

Landis enlisted as a cryptologic linguist in the Army in March 2011 and was a DLIFLC Arabic language graduate. He was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C. when he lost his life in service to his country.

A new mobile app called SzépMűSL designed to give deaf people wider access to culture was presented last week at the Museum of Fine Arts.
90 decibel Project (Hungary’s pioneering organization providing high-profile free access to theatres and museums for the deaf and blind people), in co-operation with MSL Accessibility, presented at Hungary’s greatest museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, their special smartphone and tab application, which provide a sign-language guide for deaf people.
As patron of the 90 decibel Project, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Budapest, Theresa Bubbear said:
This is an opportunity to make a real difference and to give deaf people the access to culture, which so many of us take for granted. This smart phone app is a unique example of how technology can make a difference – both to the people who will use the app and to the Museum itself, which will, I hope, attract a new and wider audience.

I couldn't help noticing the body language of these two girls whilst I was having my lunch today. I wonder what a body language expert would make of it!

St Michael's Mount (Cornish: Karrek Loos y'n Koos) is a tidal island located 366 m (400 yd) off the Mount's Bay coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is a civil parish and is united with the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water.
The island exhibits a combination of slate and granite (see Geology below). Its Cornish language name — literally, "the grey rock in the wood" — may represent a folk memory of a time before Mount's Bay was flooded. Certainly, the Cornish name would be an accurate description of the Mount set in woodland. Remains of trees have been seen at low tides following storms on the beach at Perranuthnoe, but radiocarbon dating established the submerging of the hazel wood at about 1700 BC.The chronicler John of Worcester relates under the year 1099 that St. Michael's Mount was located five or six miles from the sea, enclosed in a thick wood, but that on the third day of the nones of November the sea overflowed the land, destroying many towns and drowning many people as well as innumerable oxen and sheep; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records under the date 11 November 1199, "The sea-flood sprung up to such a height, and did so much harm, as no man remembered that it ever did before". The Cornish legend of Lyonesse, an ancient kingdom said to have extended from Penwith toward the Isles of Scilly, also talks of land being inundated by the sea.
This set has different languages to those in www.flickr.com/photos/pdeaves/34698366343/in/album-721576.... Additionally, each language now has an appropriate flag to help visitors identify the right one more quickly.
Clockwise from left: English, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Italian (the only 'duplicate' language with the previous series) and Polish
