This is Memorial Day weekend here in the United States, whereupon we pause to honor those who have fought for, defended, and at times died on behalf of their country.
Amongst events around the world this past week...
*Civil unrest continues in Syria, Libya, and Yemen while similar events have begun to take place in Morocco. NATO forces are still maintaining a presence in Libya.
*As a sign of improvement since the removal of former President Hosni Mubarak, Egypt has permanently reopened a border crossing at the Gaza strip. However, some analysts see this a mixed blessing, between relieving crowded conditions while increasing the possibility of terrorist attacks against Israel.
*United States President Barack Obama and his wife concluded a diplomatic visit to Great Britain this week and then went on to attend the current G8 summit.
*22 year old Australian University undergraduate student Amelia Fraser-McKelvie has solved the mystery of the universe's "missing" mass, hiding within the filaments of galaxies.
*May has been a bad tornado month for the middle United States. Some cities have been declared federal disaster areas.
