Sderot, who are often afraid

Per avere un libro di storia il più possibile completo, pluralista, frutto di un coro eterogeneo di voci si può e si deve lottare. La pensano così gli studenti di un istituto superiore di Sderot, centro urbano israeliano di piccole dimensioni e scarso appeal estetico, but undoubted reputation, given its unfortunate location.

The town, in fact, is located in the western Negev desert, one kilometer from the Gaza Strip. And this location has been for years, alternately preferred target of Palestinian rocket craft more or less fired from Gaza or gateway to the Hamas-controlled strip of land for Israeli reprisals.

Sderot is a must for the international press who wants to understand how they live the Israeli border, those who have a few seconds to escape the time when an alarm sounds missile. At the same time, the town founded in the 50s is a point of observation "ideal" to follow at a safe distance the Israeli air raids in Gaza, as occurred during the operation lead time (December 2008-January 2009).

But from now on in Sderot, you can also associate a different image: that of a population which, through its younger members, wants to turn the page. Here's why. The boys

Institute Sha'ar Hanegev, deprived of a history text that appeared side by side, the reconstruction of the history of the modern Middle East at the hands of an Israeli and a Palestinian professor, and do not intend to resign ask to speak with the director of the Ministry of Education who ordered the withdrawal.

The news was reported on October 25 from the site of the newspaper Haaretz. The offending book, "Learning the historical narrative of each individual", has already been used in high school in Sderot last year by the will of the president Aharon Rothstein, but, say the leaders in Tel Aviv, without proper authorization. The ban was defined by students 'irritating and disappointing, "now they want to know what they are afraid the Ministry of Education and thundered:" This attitude reduces our intelligence and is somewhat' insulting to say that I believe everything we read. You could say the same of "Mein Kampf" by Hitler bed within hours of history. But of course, does not work that way. "

The volume is signed by Dan Bar-On, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, and Sami Adwan, Bethlehem University. Among other versions of the same historical facts, in the middle, a white space allows students to put their comments to be discussed later in class.

According to the reconstruction of Haaretz, the ministry has "pricked up his ears" after a first article written about intercultural project, coordinated by a Swedish institution. After a meeting with the principal, the text has been banned without appeal.

Meanwhile, Rothstein was the principal 'forbidden talk to the press, "he told Lettera43 its secretariat, clarifying that the tax is directly" by the Ministry of Education. "

Stress Numbness In Face

golden apples and hashish

A hot autumn like this, with peaks of 40 degrees and sandstorms impalpable that paints everything yellow , do not remember anyone in Cairo, even the elderly, interviewed by local television following the surprising developments in the national forecast. And if the apprehension of the media normally exceeds the true extent of the phenomena, "inflated" beyond measure, this is not the case.

Because after six months of temperatures hot (up to 50 degrees in June in the capital) it is natural that most of the Egyptians and linking two phenomena: climate change, runaway inflation that has hit the vegetables and turn them into a luxury item.

especially tomatoes, is also affected by an increase of 300%, have become precious jewels, from five to 15 Egyptian pounds per kilogram (one euro equals 7.95 Egyptian pounds). Eggplants flying at an altitude of 12 to 20 pounds and beans, all essential foods in the diet of an average citizen, but more and more unattainable: suffice it to say that the salary of a civil servant is a few hundred pounds per month. Meanwhile, red meat is a mirage, since costs 70 pounds per kg.

"Because of climate change, this year the production of tomatoes and other vegetables was small," he told Cristina Lettera43 Cocchieri, researcher, specializing in economics of the Mediterranean countries, three years in Cairo. "The subject occupies the front pages of newspapers, but few to assess the risk of a possible food crisis, for example, considering the sharp cut in exports of wheat from Russia." Nothing

vegetables and rice or wheat and that's just the diet every day no longer passes through the pot: the common people feed on cheese, egg and some sweet tea. Needless to disturb the pans if you do not even have a cipolla da far rosolare.

Non è la prima volta, negli ultimi anni, che l’Egitto si trova ad affrontare lo spettro dell’insufficienza alimentare e del boom dei prezzi delle derrate: nel 2008, la crisi del pane causata dalla mancanza di grano ha fatto 12 vittime, cittadini morti durante le proteste popolari o nella ressa di fronte alle botteghe dei fornai.
Un tempo l'Egitto era fra i maggiori produttori ed esportatori di granaglie, ma l’aumento demografico ha capovolto la situazione: al ritmo di 1 milione di nascite all’anno, il Paese nordafricano ha superato gli 80 milioni di abitanti e procede al trotto verso nuovi traguardi.

Gli scienziati attribuiscono il rincaro delle verdure, e il peggioramento their quality, to three factors: temperature above the average, the presence of a white fly devastating to the crops and the appearance of a virus that attacks especially tomato plants.

The match of the new food scare with one of the most delicate political steps of Egyptian history is doing prick up their ears to many observers, not only to those fans of conspiracy. The food crisis in the world is: So far I have paid the worst consequences Mauritania, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, where shortages of rice and wheat.

But many wonder if the Egyptian authorities, driving the prices of foodstuffs ad hoc, are trying to distract public attention on the forthcoming elections: the renewal of the popular assembly, the lower house of Egyptian Parliament, 29 November, and presidential elections in the spring. With a possible change at the top of the republic after 30 years of Mubarak's regime.

"Ashara Al Masa" (The ten in the evening), a program broadcast by public television, addressed the topic by interviewing housewives angry and trembling to the sellers market of Cairo Bab El Louq. And the conspiracy has triumphed all because of corruption that infects society, elections are approaching and that of Israel (never wrong to quote him in the Arab world), which speculates.

The crisis of tomatoes, so it's been "branded" by the newspapers, comes a few months another impasse that had severely affected the Egyptian society, the hashish. And there is no irony in that statement. Illegal, but popular culture, the hashish is an essential resource for millions of citizens, men and women in large urban centers such as farmland and the desert.

"Fighting the crisis of hashish into Egypt" is the name of the group created on Facebook in April, following the rise of the coveted plants. Poor success of the initiative that has collected some thirty members for obvious reasons.
raked services Safety accumulated by drug dealers to increase its price or remained at the origin, where it is grown in the mountains of Sinai to transport difficulties, hashish has made headlines for weeks, without hypocrisy, even in the early evening. Amr Adib, anchorman of the Egyptian "Al Qahira Al Youm (Cairo Today), devoted an episode of its transmission to the complaints about the disappearance of hashish, while leaving the authorities with a anti-drugs campaign.

Meanwhile, as the audience focus on vegetables and soft drugs, the majority dissects the political opposition, religious and secular, and prepares to pass the scepter by President Hosni Mubarak to a new "Pharaoh". A strategy already used in 2005, before the polls, when the police was ruthless on gay citizens and tourists, who were arrested in Cairo for private parties or in public places.

why the gay community in Cairo is on the qui vive, "On the eve of the festival organized by quite a character in sight, a few weeks ago, it was a rumor that the secret services would raid," he told a Lettera43 invited to the prestigious party, "Since the period, the alarm has been taken seriously and the party canceled at the last moment."

Oovoo Does Not Detect My Camera

Farah, the first hostess of Dubai

A una prima lettura non sembrerebbe una notizia degna di nota, anzi non sembrerebbe proprio una notizia il fatto che la ventisettenne di Dubai Farah Saeed, al termine di un corso di formazione per hostess della durata di otto settimane, sia entrata a far parte dello staff della compagnia aerea Etihad, insegna emiratense nata nel 2003.

E invece Farah, che ha effettuato il suo primo volo nella tratta fra Londra e Istanbul la seconda settimana di ottobre, ha ritrovato il proprio volto mediorientale, truccato a regolare d’arte in occasione del debutto, su svariati organi di stampa del Golfo e ora sta facendo il giro del mondo via web.
Perché prima di lei, fra tre mila hostess e steward della compagnia the flag had never been a citizen of the Emirates, and yet a hundred nationalities are represented. Discounted

the enthusiasm of pioneers, who feels that she is almost a diplomatic role: "I intend to share culture and hospitality of the Emirates with people as possible and more possible places in the world." A project supported by the family, "Who around me encouraged me to become the first UAE nationals to embark on this career."

The new arrival, have clarified the vertices of Etihad (literally the Union, in reference to the Union of Arab Emirates, ed), will not feel alone because emiratensi abound, however, between students and professional pilots. Word of the airline's CEO, James Hogan, is clearly not a native of Dubai.

At this point you reopen the debate on the social fabric of some emirates of the Arabian Peninsula, not necessarily the seven Union, but also Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, inhabited by a few hundreds of thousands of indigenous peoples and millions of emigrants employment purposes.

Some numbers. Of the approximately three million and 100 thousand inhabitants of Kuwait are from the spot just 960 000. 672 000 people living in Bahrain, of which only 64% is indigenous. In Qatar, a half million inhabitants, three quarters have a temporary work permit. In the United

Arabs the disproportion is even more striking: about eight million inhabitants, not more than 20% were born locally. All others are "expat" expatriates. Generalizing
, sultanates in the Arab immigration is mostly ethnic Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Filipino, Iranian regarding construction and restoration. The western one is a minority and occupies top positions in the Middle East headquarters of major international networks. The hostess

Farah Saeed is the symbol of a strategy, the so-called "emiratizzazione" staff from Abu Dhabi inaugurated ten years ago and so far has proved very fruitful. On several occasions the government has attempted to stimulate the recruitment of local ordinances to blows, but especially in the private sector there was no way: to quote a law rejected in the spring of 2009 to individuals operating in the UAE has been ordered to take on administrative tasks and human resources, local staff.

A joint effort of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Labor to proceed to the professional sectors but is shipwrecked after a while, partly because of the economic crisis in the Emirates: how to say, in the second half of 2009, many international companies based in Dubai have closed or reduced their seats. Better not to annoy those that remain.

Nationals emiratensi, therefore, has not been another tool to compete with foreign study. The possibilities have emerged: 22.7% of the federal budget in 2010, about 9.9 billion dirhams (1.91 billion €) was invested in education, with scholarships for Arab students, universities and construction of graduate schools in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, partnerships with university centers of the world.

Only a detail worth mentioning: the recruitment of foreign teachers to give authority to the young university. Again.
