Sitting at a cafe above the Western Wall. I was last here in 1999.
On Mt. Scopus, about to head into Jerusalem.
Leaving Kibbutz Lavi and off for a day of touring, then on to Jerusalem.
In Tsfat this morning. Lots of beautiful art here.
At least they aren’t debating yogurt on the federal level. But this is disappointing. Nice to know that anyone who buys a house can refinance at the insanely low interest rates we have now, but the government insists on a higher interest rate. Meanwhile, I’m paying a higher percentage than the TARP program loans paid in interest.
I’m so glad the government is debating such important measures.
United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew said Monday that the current system is unfair to minority students who deserve to attend Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech and five other specialized high schools.
I went to Bronx Science. I recall a good amount of diversity. But, I agree an SAT like test is not necessarily the best way to admit people to a school. Wonder if I’d have gotten in if that were the only factor.
EI159 from London-Heathrow to Dublin, with connections to EI109 to JFK.
