Polish government campaign encourages citizens to 'breed like rabbits'

 It is incredibly stupid governmental publicity. No sex at all, no cute babies. Maybe it works with Polish people. But the idea is clear. The Danish ad, in a bedroom in Paris, was more interesting.

Maybe It'll be OK



 U.S. officials gave the Taliban a list of names of U.S. citizens, green card holders & Afghan allies to grant entry into the outer perimeter of the city’s airport, prompting outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

In my barrio, the Yanquis were considered childishly innocent. Thanks to Heaven, they have not changed.

The rearguard of the US Army was attacked by ISIS. So there are left two and not one armed force in Afghanistan, ensuring the inevitable civil war. According to MEMRI, the Taliban and the USA are allies in the fight against ISIS.

Peter Munk: The Wasted Life of Hungarian Jew


The University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU) board of directors voted at a meeting at the end of July to re-sign an open letter that demanded the university cancel a summer program in Israel and accused Israel of “genocide," according to The Varsity campus newspaper.

The letter also accused the university of being “complicit in the face of oppression and systematic change” if it did not cancel the summer program in Israel, “Coexistence in the Middle East Study Abroad” offered by the Munk School of Global Affairs.

Peter Munk, who died on March 28, 2018 at the age of 90, was one of Canada’s most successful entrepreneurs and one of its most passionate citizens. He was also an exceptionally generous philanthropist who, together with his wife, Melanie, gave the University of Toronto the landmark gift that established the Munk School of Global Affairs

After arriving in Canada in 1948 on a student visa, a few years after a narrow escape from Nazi-occupied Hungary, Peter earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto. Recalling the warm welcome he received as a young man who arrived “not speaking your language, not knowing a dog,” retained lifelong gratitude to his alma mater and to Canada.

Another Project in South Israel

 

These Haredi folks are expanding and hired this alte pisher engineer. Yesterday it was a burning hell in the South -   36 degrees centigrade in shadow and there I was working. The way back took me two hours, because of the traffic (nothing special). Near the seaport, there was a queue of about a hundred heavy trailers. Whole neighborhoods are being built in the villages along the road, they look like the brand new cities in China. The whole day I was impressed by the vitality and activity of the South. Under a fiery sun.

Perspectives of Potash

 

My best investment was in potash twenty years ago. Are the good times back? Mr Doyle, who organized the potash cartel, is absent. But last half-year potash has risen from the dead. Is it time to buy? I think so.
