10 Tips for Your Business Trip to Israel Your Travel Agent Might Have Forgotten to Tell You
"Braden, My pride is equally split between the U.S., my country of birth, and Israel, my adopted country. I like the diversity part too. It's great to walk around every day and see people from all over the world, coming home! The airlifts are an immense source of national pride. Jesse Jackson said once that it was the first time in history that Africans were transported from one country to another without being chained. Stephen Spielberg keeps promising to immortalize it in Hollywood film. I'll be waiting. Yoni"10 Tips for Your Business Trip to Israel Your Travel Agent Might Have Forgotten to Tell You
"Duncan, I came here with 8 ties in my duffel bag. I wore one to a meeting once and everybody stared at me and said "lose the tie!" Haven't worn one since. There is something to be said for informality. Actually trench coats are pretty cool. Sort of hearken back to the days of Bogey and Gable. I guess flashers kind of gave the trench coat a bad name.

"Hamed, I don't have a single visitor that comes that I don't direct up the Jerusalem/Tel Aviv highway up to Abu Gosh. The best hummus in the world and the world record for the largest plate of hummus. As far as Bethlehem, it's right out our salon window, right across the wadi. Great view!

"Ronika, Thanks! It is a fascinating place but one that often feels like a powder-keg ready to blow. Very stressful yet also beautiful. I love the bit about Indian Standard Time! Classic! Kibbutz volunteerism is quite a popular thing. There will be a huge influx in a month or so of tens of thousands of volunteers for the summer. Milking cows. plowing fields. Making the desert bloom. Also interesting is thousands and thousands of people come each summer to do a three month volunteer stint in the IDF (non-combat). That's how my sister started out 20 years ago...she liked it so much she stayed. Many people also find the volunteering in the IDF so valuable and challenging that they end up dropping out of college to enlist. There are also quite a few jews from India that have immigrated to Israel. Here they call them "Bnei Menashe" (The Children of Menashe). They are widely considered to be one of the Ten Lost Tribes. It's a cool country and well worth the visit...especially now that things are relatively calm. All the best, Yoni"20 Interesting Financial Facts About Google
"Holy Cow Ronika, You did your homework on this one! Amazing facts and really cool graphics too. I'm floored by the number of employees. If you would have asked me, I would have answered around 800...shows how much I know. A ten-fold increase in revenue in seven years? WOW! I bet the folks at BING are jealous as heck, especially since their company which only a year or two ago was predicted to take over the world seems to be fizzling. I have yet to meet anybody who is looking for something online who says, "I think I'll BING it!" Thanks for an awesome post! Yoni "100 Twitter Ready Quotes from the Best Motivational Speakers
"Duncan, The danger of dropping quotes from the famous bar-scene in Good Will Hunting: Chuckie (Ben Affleck): Are we gonna have a problem here? Clark (Obnoxious Harvard Student): No, no, no, no! There's no problem here. I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could be most aptly described as agrarian precapitalist. Chuckie: Let me tell you something - Will (Matt Damon): Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization. Clark: Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social - Will: "Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth"? You got that from Vickers' "Work in Essex County," page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend? Clark: [looks down in shame] Will: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f***in' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library! Clark: Yeah, but I will have a degree. And you'll be servin' my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip. Will: That may be, but at least I won't be unoriginal "Subscribe

Beware the typo!
"I recently read an article in a foreign, English-language journal speaking about imports from the South American country of Columbia. They spelled Colombia wrong at least a dozen times. Definitely brought down the professionalism of an otherwise informative article. Yoni"
