I'm happy I finished the major parts of my PhD! The work is big, really big, maybe too big (around 360 pages)? However I did a lot of work during the recent years so it is maybe justifiable. I skipped my journey to Etna in November missing this huge eruption and "preferred" working so it must become an excellent work! Well now it is over and parallel to learning for my final exam I continue with my hobbies photography/flickr! Enjoy my pictures and have fun,
Thomas

www.addisfortune.com/Mulu Becomes First Woman to Rep. Africans in the World Bank.htm
Mulu Ketsela (PhD), former state minister of Finance and Economic Development before joining the World Bank as an alternate executive director in 2004, has been promoted to full directorship on December 8, 2006, thus becaming the first women to assume such a position in the Bank, representing 22 African countries as her constituency.
According to a World Bank observer, picking a director to the Bank requires negotiations and consent from finance ministers (who are board of governors) meeting to select who collectively could represent them as one of the 24 board of directors in the World Bank, a group of five international organizations based in Washington D.C., and owned by member states, in order to provide finance for economic development and poverty eradications.
Five of the largest shareholders of the Bank -United States (16.4pc), Japan 7.9pc, Germany 4.5pc, United Kingdom (4.3pc), and France (4.3pc) – each directly nominate their representatives in the board of executive directors. Other regions have to vote for their representatives, after going through a selection process and negotiations.
Africa has two seats in the board of directors, where Mulu was appointed to serve for the next two years.
“She has been an alternate member for the past two years,” said a World Bank senior official. “It is expected that she would assume the position.”
As an alternate Executive Director, Mulu has been responsible for choosing which projects receive funding in the region and shaping the policies of the Bank in Africa. She is currently touring a few African countries, including Uganda where she was visiting last week.
It was a successful climb in the ladder of international finance organization from where she was an economic advisor to Meles Zenawi, when he was president between 1992 to 1995.
Prior to joining the Ethiopian government in the early 1990s, Mulu was a consultant for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and taught economics at New York University and John Jay College of Criminal Justice in the late 1980s. She studied economics from undergraduate to doctoral in New York: SUNY New Paltz and New School for Social Research

Photo taken by Bunny Dever, Hot Springs, Arkansas, in 1967
Two emergency ambulance attendants from the Gross Mortuary, 1017 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, Arkansas, hurry a critically injured man into an awaiting 1966 white Pontiac Consort ambulance in Hot Springs in 1967.
In the days before paramedics, backboards, and splinting, the goal of good ambulance service back then was hurry to the scene and quickly "load and go."
Even at that, Gross Mortuary operated an excellent 24 / 7 ambulance service, giving prompt, careful care to thousands of Hot Springs residents from 1909 to July 31, 1974 when it ended its ambulance service.
This accident occurred on East Grand Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The injured man's young son later died in nearby Quachita Hospital (now closed). This compelling action (copyrighted) picture was taken by Bill (Bunny) Dever of Hot Springs, a skilled commercial police photographer and a good friend of mine for many years. His great pictures give a glympse of funeral home-operated ambulance services in the 1960s - 1970s.
The ambulance pictured above was a Pontiac Consort ambulance made by Superior. A Consort ambulance had no dividing wall between and driver and the rear patient area. The ambulance was actually designed to hold three patients on stretchers! Two stretchers (one a wheeled stretcher and the other a folding cot) could fit easily side by side on the ambulance floor, and a third folding stretcher could be suspended from the ceiling.
It had a (very loud) Federal Q2 siren, four alternating red bullet lights on the four roof corners, and a giant red beaconray in the center of the roof.
This ambulance, known as "Gross 6," served Hot Springs faithfully from 1966 to 1970 when it was replaced by a bright yellow Superior Van ambulance. Gross Mortuary ended ambulance service July 31, 1974.
Note that the two attendants are lifting the stretcher into the ambulance -- now days, paramedics use so-called one-man stretchers which fold up into the ambulance without having to be lifted, sissies.
