It is 8 March.. which means that today we celebrate the International Women's Day. We'd like to wish all women all the best, and we invite men to celebrate this day with women in their families.

I've been receiving lots of comments asking to read my posts in Arabic. My friend, The Alien, kindly offered his help in translating my recent posts into Arabic. If any of you would feel interested in giving a hand, please contact me. My email is on my profile. I now publish one post per week, which means that if we have only 4 volunteers, each one of them will translate one post per month. I really need your help to launch the Arabic version of this blog. Let's attract more readers and make ourselves heard.
