Sam Levenson

1. The first screw to get loose in your head is the one that holds your tongue in place.
2. You're only young once. After that it takes some other excuse for behaving like an idiot.
3. Even if the majority agrees on an idiotic idea, it is still an idiotic idea.
4. There are more important things in life than money. The trouble is they all cost money.
5. On sex education in schools: Let them teach it! If the schools teach sex the way they teach everything else, the kids will lose interest anyhow.
6. Somewhere on this globe a woman is giving birth to a child every ten seconds. She must be found and stopped.
7. You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can't possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
8. I admit that my wife is outspoken, but by whom?
9. Insanity is hereditary. You can get it from your children.
10. Lead us not into temptation. Just tell us where it is; we'll find it.

World Wind is an interactive world map that looks great and has the efficiency and simplicity of Google. Along with the basic geographic longitudes and latitudes, there is an endless source of geographical information.

LAYER MANAGER button offers you to choose the types of information World Wind will deliver: satellite, geo-satellite or aerial photographs. Every corner of the planet is visible and can be viewed. The final range of the browser ends with 100 metres from the surface. World Wind has obvious graphic superiority and accuracy of data, and it is becoming increasingly better connected with the rest of online open source contents daily.

PLACEFINDER tool - after choosing a location one can get abundance of information about it from encyclopaedic sources; images, maps and animations of immeasurable geographical significance. It is also in a real-time mode in which data and images of the virtual globe are only one or two days old.

I love the mission and alleged purpose of this program: To inspire the next generation of explorers!

So after over 60 years...

Germany launches the Tintin-style comic Book called `The Search` that tells the story of Esther, a fictional Jewish survivor of the Holocaust. Schools will aim to teach underprivileged children about the Nazi era. Germany now has the world's fastest growing Jewish community, with 220,000 arriving from the former Soviet Union since 1990. Racist violence remains a big problem there, and the revival of a Jewish community has brought a rise in anti-Semitism with it.
