A month ago Obama failed to conclude a free trade agreement with South Korea. Two weeks later an American scientist tells he’s been shown around a new hidden nuclear facility in North Korea. A few days later North Korea shells a South Korean island after an alleged military provocation. And today that free trade agreement has seemingly been achieved…
Good material for conspiracy theorists, wouldn’t you say?

I’ve just listened to Captain Jerry Roberts, a senior member of the elite team assigned to unscramble encrypted messages between German Army H.Q. and the top generals in the field on all fronts during WWII, including a number of messages signed by Hitler himself. He was invited for a talk at Google’s London office.
Amidst his witty jokes, he recounted the untold heroic achievements of the men and women in his unit, and the profound impact they had on the outcome of the war.
It was heartwarming to be able to listen to this man and shake his hand. At the same time, it reminded me how close in the past these horrible times were. It didn’t happen in antiquity or the middle ages, no. A man at the centre of this story told it to me; old perhaps, but still alive and kicking. We tend to think that our world today is vastly different form the world then. Indeed it is, in so many respects. But let’s not forget how much some people have suffered and worked hard to give us the freedom and prosperity we’re enjoying nowadays. Let’s not take them for granted. It’s our most useful way of honouring Captain Jerry Roberts.
To our planet. That’s the question.
I just saw the movie “Home”. It tells the story of life on earth and the disruption humans have brought upon the equilibrium that preserves it.
Striking images, languishing music, a very negative outlook on our near future if we don’t act immediately, yet it ends with some rather positive notes on the attitude shift of many people towards environmental issues.
I’ve never seen such a high level of tennis being played for that long (16-14 in the 5th set). And relatively to their respective usual quality of play, Roddick clearly performed much better than Federer. Except relativity doesn’t come into play here…
Must be tough to lose a Wimbledon final match like that. Especially when you’ve never won it (and lost two previous finals against the same guy).
I can only say that Roddick gave us one of the best matches of tennis I’ve ever watched, and wish to see him win Wimledon next year.
What else does one need to achieve success?
Luck, perhaps?
