Shalom: Polity Interview Apr 29, 2007
It doesnt mean that everybodys doing the same work if youre a nuclear physicist, you might be doing nuclear physics part of the time, but youd also be doing other stuff that is rote or menial. People who are working in factories would also be doing stuff that involves planning or thinking or using their brains. (Zmag.org)

Camel's cheese maker wants to export Apr 10, 2007
Our goal is Europe," added the company chief, who is in her 50s and speaks Mauritania's official languages French and Arabic fluently. Abeiderrahmane opened her dairy business in 1989 in this largely desert country that measures twice the size of former colonial power France but counts only 3.1 million inhabitants. Until then, Mauritania had been dependent on imported milk. She soon started fishing for outlets for her camel's milk cheese, which resembles the soft French round cheese camembert... (iAfrica.com)

Make a million| Mar 20, 2007
If you were planning a career in nuclear physics or actuarial science, knowledge of these subjects may have come in handy, but for most of us it was probably an exercise in futility. It is an amazing fact that in the entire 14 or so years we spend in school, we are rarely taught about the magic of compound interest. (iAfrica.com)
