Only Piece in Our Time - Go Bro!

Mr Shapira, 29, who belongs to an Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation group for ex-combatants, told Israeli newspaper Haaretz that he had spoken to visitors about the massacre of villagers at Deir Yassin in Palestine by Jewish militants in April 1948.
"Yad Vashem talks about the Holocaust survivors' arrival in Israel and about creating a refuge here for the world's Jews," he told Haaretz.
"I said there were people who lived on this land and mentioned that there are other traumas that provide other nations with motivation.
"The Holocaust moved us to establish a Jewish state and the Palestinian nation's trauma is moving it to seek self-determination, identity, land and dignity, just as Zionism sought these things," he said.
Estee Yaari told the BBC by phone that Yad Vashem employed Israelis from across the political spectrum and the same restrictions apply to anyone introducing their personal political perspectives during their tours.
"Discussions of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are not appropriate during an educational guiding," she said.
Yad Vashem commemorates the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during World War II, and include a display about the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 where a majority of Holocaust survivors made new homes.

Communications firms are being asked to record all internet contacts between people as part of a modernisation in UK police surveillance tactics.
The home secretary scrapped plans for a database but wants details to be held and organised for security services.
The new system would track all e-mails, phone calls and internet use, including visits to social network sites.
Ministers say police need new tools to fight crime but opposition MPs and campaigners have raised privacy fears.
Announcing a consultation on a new strategy for communications data and its use in law enforcement, Jacqui Smith said there would be no single government-run database.
But she also said that "doing nothing" in the face of a communications revolution was not an option.
The Home Office will instead ask communications companies - from internet service providers to mobile phone networks - to extend the range of information they currently hold on their subscribers and organise it so that it can be better used by the police, MI5 and other public bodies investigating crime and terrorism.
Ministers say they estimate the project will cost £2bn to set up, which includes some compensation to the communications industry for the work it may be asked to do.
"Communications data is an essential tool for law enforcement agencies to track murderers, paedophiles, save lives and tackle crime," Ms Smith said.

HENRY FORD, SR

THE INTERNATIONAL JEW

The World's Foremost Problem
by HENRY FORD, SR.
The Wisdom of Henry Ford
An outstanding figure in the story of modern America, and central to the struggle of American patriots to take our country back, was the great industrialist and humanitarian Henry Ford, Sr.
Ford was born in 1863, a farm boy from rural Michigan who loved to do mechanical work with his hands and experiment with new concepts in his shop.He was a deeply moral man, to whom honesty, work, and sobriety were sacred concepts. And he was a gentle man, in the true sense of the word, who, in the words of writer Albert Lee, "shared a love of all living things with naturalist John Burroughs and who shared campfires with his friend Thomas Edison. Ford was known to 'nail up a door for a whole season rather than disturb a robin's nest,' and he 'postponed [a] hay harvest because ground birds were brooding in the field.' He was a man of peace, saying... that he would give his entire fortune if he could shorten [World War I] by a single day."

India's IT students feel the heat

They sold their land or mortgaged their belongings to send their children to expensive self-financing colleges. With the job scenario not looking bright I find a lot of depressed students from these kind of families. I keep on assuring them things will improve," he says.

Hari - a final year student of mechanical engineering - was keen on an IT job and went for a few interviews. But he has yet to get a job.
"Manufacturing companies are cutting jobs because of the recession and the same is happening in the IT sector, so we are worried," he says.

Vijay Ram and Sundaram are final year students of printing technology. Both of them got placements in a reputed IT-based multinational company. But now they want to explore their chances with other companies.

Compassionate Latte

Credit card companies are "out of touch with reality" for putting up their interest rates or charges over the past year, consumer group Which? has said.
The organisation found 28 major credit card firms had either increased rates or charges, or reduced the number of interest-free days for purchases.
Which? said the average card rate was up 0.5% in a period when the Bank of England's rate fell from 5.25% to 1%.
It accused providers of using "tricks" to squeeze extra cash out of customers.
Which? said some credit card companies had upped their rates by 3%-4%.
It also said many firms had increased interest rates and fees for balances transferred from other cards.
Martyn Hocking, editor of Which? Money, said: "At a time when we're all feeling the pinch, it's hugely disappointing that credit card companies are choosing to put the squeeze on borrowers more than ever.

Changing behaviour is TOUGH!

Perhaps,maybe,I'll try,all terms that keep most people off of getting results. What surprises me on a daily basis is how much people are set in their way about how to get what they think they want by staying stuck in their current paradigm.

International PA Service

All they need now is a Zvuri...

A new scheme that distributes simple tasks via text messages is being used to target a potential untapped work force in developing countries.
Txteagle is making it possible for many people in countries like Kenya to earn small amounts of money by completing simple tasks like translations or transcriptions.
Amazon's "Mechanical Turk" similarly divides up tasks but Txteagle differs in that it distributes them via text messages over mobile phones, which have a higher penetration rate - particularly in the developing world.
