2008-01-06 14:30:00 The Week in ReviewJanuary 5, 2008 | From theTrumpet.comPoppies in Afghanistan, radicals in Egypt, euros in the Mediterranean, critics in Taiwan, riots in Kenya, and much more. Middle EastPakistan continued to dominate news headlines this week, even as the riots following Benazir Bhutto?s death largely subsided. Bhutto?s assassination on Dec. 27, 2007, triggered a wave of nationwide violence that killed almost 60 people and caused more than $200 million worth of damage. In Bhutto?s home province of Sindh, the army was deployed to help quell the unrest. As a result of the instability, the Pakistani general election, originally scheduled for January 8, has been put off till February 18. Besides thrusting the nuclear-armed, Islamist-sympathizing Pakistan into greater political turmoil and instability, Bhutto?s death exposed both the utter inability of the United States to influence Pakistani politics to its advantage, and the hugely flawed idea that democracy is a cure-all for anti-Amer...

On January 1, Malta and Cyprus officially adopted the euro. Both nations occupy key locations for controlling the Mediterranean, Northern Africa and Southern Europe. With these two island states joining the eurozone, the European Union?s influence in these important areas will become more deeply entrenched. At the beginning of the new year, just after midnight, the countries? leaders withdrew their first euros from cash machines amid fireworks and celebration. Both countries hope for great economic gains from increased investment and tourism thanks to the currency. The EU, however, has its own reasons for wanting Malta and Cyprus in the eurozone.

By Philip Nice Tehran is prowling the streets of the Middle East with a new swagger to its step. Following December 3?s National Intelligence Estimate (nie), which claimed Iran had a clandestine nuclear weapons program but abandoned it four years ago, Tehran has been getting all the political and strategic leverage it can out of the situation, which is quite a bit. In response to the report, the man who wants Israel wiped off the map in ?one storm? and looks forward to ?a world without America? claimed ?victory? for Iran and said, ?It was in fact a declaration of surrender.?

Unless you?ve followed the research of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi you would probably be surprised at the actual answer. He conducted studies which recorded peoples current levels of happiness at random points both during work and off-hours. The surprising conclusion? People felt happier on the job, even though they said they would rather be at home. Csikszentmihalyi believes that this is because, even if they dislike their job, work provides a constructive environment. It has rules, challenges and can be formatted to focus your otherwise wandering attention. Leisure, without any structure, can become to boredom and apathy.

2007-12-22 05:45:00 Israel Government Idle as Hamas Broadcasts from Temple Mount December 21, 2007 | From theTrumpet.comIf there?s one thing the Palestinians can depend on from Israel, it?s a consistent flow of concessions. Winning concessions from the Jewish state is virtually a weekly ritual. This week the Israeli government gave Hamas exclusive rights to broadcast its anti-Israel, violence-provoking message via radio from the Temple Mount, while at the same time banning Jews from visiting the site. The decision by Israel occurred as sacred holidays of the Jews and Muslims crossed paths. For Muslims, Wednesday began Eid ul-Adha, the holiday marking the Islamic equivalent of Akeidat Yitzchak, the binding of Isaac (or, as the Muslims believe, Ishmael) by Abraham. For the Jews, Wednesday was a Jewish fast day commemorating the beginning of the siege by Nebuchadnezzar on Jerusalem over 2,500 years ago that resulted in the destruction of the First Temple.

Email management productivity tips can only do so much if you don?t know how to write an effective email. That doesn?t mean you have to strive for lyrical prose in every message (though I always welcome lyrical prose in my inbox).

The following are some basic guidelines for writing more effective emails: Get to the Point: Every email that you write should have a clear purpose.

EU Agrees to Beef Up Presence in Kosovo December 18, 2007 | From theTrumpet.comThe European Union is emerging as the driving force behind Kosovo?s independence. European Union leaders agreed last Friday to deploy around 1,800 police and security personnel to Kosovo, a volatile Serbian province expected to announce its independence from Serbia any day now. The EU?s decision to beef up its presence in the Balkans is further evidence of its desire to be the primary facilitator of Kosovo?s independence. Ever since Germany and the Vatican recognized the breakaway states of Croatia and Slovenia in 1991, Europe?s largest states have maintained a subtle divide-and-conquer policy in the Balkans in an effort to secure European dominance of this strategic corridor. Nothing has changed in their current approach to Kosovo. Concurrent with sending more forces into Kosovo, the EU is attempting to woo the Serbians into agreeing ...

Ischinger was quick to point out, however, that such Kosovar independence would still allow for an EU presence, with Kosovo not being a sovereign country in its own right. ?It will be a state entity, which will continue to be under broad international observation,? he said. ?The nato troops will continue to be deployed there.

Brad Macdonald The Turkish military has buzzed with activity in recent months. Nearly 100,000 soldiers and a vast array of tanks, heavy artillery and military aircraft have been deployed along Turkey?s border with Iraq. The build-up is a response to increased attacks on Turkey by Kurdish rebels from the Kurdistan Workers?
