300 job seekers and 16 companies participated in the 13th Annual Diversity Career organized by Al DIA Newspaper at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. In the opening, Hernán Guaracao --Founder & CEO of Al DIA Newspaper-- gave a warm welcoming to all participants and exhibitors in this important event. Guaracao mentioned that during the past few years the name of this job fair has evolved accordingly to the demographic changes of the Philadelphia community. For instance, this job fair --during the first stage-- started as Latino Career Fair marketing only the Latino community in the region; in the second stage, the job fair was titled Bilingual Career Fair targeting any bilingual candidate in the area; and in the last two years, Diversity Career Fair has been the name to market the diverse and multicultural job force in the Philadelphia area.
The Free Library of Philadelphia, participated --for a second year-- in this important event promoting the “free” career resources –such as resume writing, interview skills, branding and networking workshops-- that the library offers to the community in general. Dressing for success and being confident are just a few important elements to succeed in the job seeking process. The Diversity Career Fair Event contributed to market the multilingual and diverse job force in Philadelphia. Guaracao was very excited that more companies are joining this event to promote job openings in the area.

Dutch postcard. Habé Film. Johan Kaart and Jacques Bijlevelt in the comedy De Vier Mullers, a Dutch version of the Austrian multilingual Alles für die Firma (Rudolf Meinert 1935), both shot at the Schonbrunn studios in Vienna. The film deals with three quarrelsome generations of textile business owners: granddad Philip (Adolf Bouwmeester), dad Max (Bijlevelt) and son Otto (Johannes Heesters). Kaart plays their go-between Jacob Schat.
Johan Kaart jr. (1897-1976) was a star in the Dutch entertainment world. He starred in seven films between 1934 and 1937, and after the war he played in several other Dutch films. He also worked often for radio and tv, but his main stage was the theatre.

This is another fascinating multi-lingual pamphlet I used to scour through as a child to help me talk to our Suffragi, Ahmed and the Italian maid of my cousins - Angela Santarossa from Pordenone!
On the final photo you can actually see that I corrected spelling mistakes in the text.
I am willing to bet that this is a unique pamphlet published in Alexandria by Negrin in 1934 at 5 piastres - are there any more in the world today?

Hearing of Viviane Reding, designate Vice-President of the Commission and Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship (Brussels, 12 January 2009).
Before the new European Commission can take office the proposed new Commissioners must pass often tough Question and Answer sessions in front of Members of the European Parliament. Each committee questions the person who will be responsible for that dossier on issues ranging from their CV to political views. The last time this happened not all candidates passed muster as MEPs must sign off on them before they can take office.

The intriguing delegation of Yemenite Jews in Egypt and the author Meschulam Teram need more research .
I used this often, as a small child, to help me converse. I had not yet learnt how to read Arabic so the phonetic transliteration was very helpful. My kitchen Arabic was quite good!
The sharp rise in the previous chart is clearer if you switch to monthly data and clearly shows the article count growth is over the summer ( Students or a Bot )
Increasing by 1000 articles in one month ( Aug - Sep ) but no indicators of article quality.
Today the Welsh and Irish wikipedia have a much greater 'depth' ( frequency of use ) 21 and 18 vs 9 for Scottish Gaelic
Comparing the Celtic wikipedias by number of edits is a possible indicator of quality
Welsh -52200
Irish - 38959
Gaelic - 14410
-Update-
The figure for number of edits above are quite old
From 16 March 07
Welsh- 117378
Irish- 77692
Gaelic- 40369
I wonder if the Scottish Gaelic literacy problem is evident from this data?
Interesting comparison of Celtic language wikipedias where Breton appears to be kicking ass.
Also from the external wiki stats you can check Stub Ratios ( not sure what the definition of a stub is they use though and I don't believe it uses the category )
English 0.22
Welsh 0.41
Irish 0.47
Gaelic 0.5
Breton 0.51
These wikipedias are still young but I think we can gather some interesting information by looking at their growth patterns.

This has meant the development of multilingual teaching materials in indigenous languages through picture books, alphabet charts and posters. More than just books and posters however, Multilingual Education is also about new techniques of child-centered teaching so that children feel comfortable and willing to learn, the surest way of keeping them in school.
---------------------------------
Cela s'est traduit par l'élaboration de matériel didactique dans les langues autochtones: des livres d'images, posters et affiches de l’alphabet. De plus, l'éducation multilingue permet de nouvelles techniques d'enseignement centrées sur l'enfant afin que celui-ci se sente à l'aise et prêt à apprendre, le plus sûr moyen de le garder à l'école.
---------------------------------
Esto ha significado el desarrollo de materiales de enseñanza en múltiples lenguas indígenas a través de libros de imágenes, gráficos y carteles del alfabeto. Más allá de los libros y carteles, la Educación Multilingüe también trata de nuevas técnicas de enseñanza para que los niños se sientan cómodos y dispuestos a aprender – una forma más efectiva de mantenerlos en la escuela.

Does anyone have any idea what the bottom left one is meant to mean?!

曾经与不少相隔异地的人有过联系，但很多最后都无疾而终。
或者，在潜意识中，对方哪怕极其实在，但在距离的作用下，也会变得虚无缥缈。
黄伟文为陈奕迅写的这首歌词，虽然表面上是描述时空穿越或平行宇宙，但用在异地关系上，竟又显得十分微妙。

I have made long-distance relationship with many other people, but many of them can't carry on.
Maybe -- in the unconscious, even the person is so real, but with the distance, he gets vague and illusory.
The lyrics, which is written by Wyman Wong and used in Eason Chan's ballad 1874, seems to describe a story of time travel or parallel universe, but it subtly fits as well when describing the long-distance relationship.
