LOT IS GOING ON
France is close to legislating a ban on the "burka" - all that
head covering but the eyes, of some Muslim women. Many in the
Islam religion say all that head covering is NOT demanded by
their religion.
......
Bombing violence is still continuing in Iraq, and it will, there
are two many fractions in Iraq, and they will continue fighting
each other.
......
British economy news is that there was a 0.1 percent growth in
the last 3 months of 2009. Yet it was pointed out that such a
growth at that pace would take 10 years to bring it back to where
it was before the recession.
......
The "Saab' car lives on - the Dutch firm Spika bought it.
......
The Gaza UN building cannot be finish (homes, offices etc.)
because the Israeli Government will not lift its embargo, as they
say Hamas could use materials as weapons against them.
......
Toyota car company is in BIG trouble, shutting down some lines of
production, and about 1 million cars to be recalled - a gas-pedal
sticking problem.
The BBC news did announce that it is in real trouble as the big
three USA car manufacturers are now as well made as any Toyota.
I fully agree with that statement. I will put my Ford Taurus car
up against any make in that range of car. The Ford Fusion/Taurus
has been voted car of the year for 2010.
......
The USA billion of dollars stimulus money for 2009 did not create
jobs. A year ago the USA un-employment was 7.0 and NOW it is 10.0
with many just simply giving up looking for jobs, the real
percentage is more than 10 percent.
......
Miracles are happening - two weeks after the massive earthquake
that hit Haiti, they are still pulling a few people out ALIVE!
......
And on that bright note of life, a little miracle for a German
Shepherd dog. The dog got on some floating ice up in the arctic,
floated 100 kil's from home. They tried to rescue him once and
failed. Today a ship got close enough to lower a "blowup dingy"
and the men were able to grab the dog and pull it to safety. The
dog was happy to have them come and pull him aboard. If they
cannot find the original owner the dog will be up for adopting;
after the BBC clip on this I don't think he'll have long to wait
for a new home.
