1. Business Africa Growth and Opportunity Act
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
An
extension to the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)
came a step closer this week when the US House of Representatives
unanimously approved extending the legislation from 2008
to 2015.
However,
the far more conservative senate must still pass the bill
that will extend and modify the trade benefits. To read

Program that supports the AGOA, and we invite you to visit

4. Business: India is now booming
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The
economy is growing at a rate paralleled only by China. Indian
companies have become more sophisticated at making products
that the world wants. And the Indian middle class has become
more sophisticated as well, more willing to try new things
and take new risks.
From their perspective, India is shining, and all the conditions
are present to turn this once sleepy third-world country
into an economic juggernaut. To read this full report, go

The
establishment of more international call centres in Cape
Town is a priority targeted for Western Cape economic expansion.

the minister of economic development, in her budget speech

Mandela
had been unable to complete his book about his presidential
years because of interruptions by his busy schedule, but
he wanted to do so now. While Mandela would always be free
to attend any event in future, he might also decide to take
a break for two months at a time, and we agree, he must
take it easy in his twilight years. To read the full report,

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
One
of Somalia's most powerful warlords has started a one-month
prison sentence in Kenya over an unpaid business debt.
Hussein Aideed is a US citizen and served with the US military
before returning home to lead the United Somali Congress/Somali
National Alliance faction after the death of his father
in 1996. He controls parts of southern Mogadishu and central
Somalia. It appears that he owed the money to Kenyan businessman
Ijaz Hussein Ganijee.
Somalia has had no central government since 1991 and is
divided into areas controlled by rival warlords. To read

history
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= =
While
the Green River Journal and the Murray Eagle may not be
newspapers the general public is immediately familiar with,
these Utah newspapers provided small communities with local
news during their existence, and give contemporary historians
a glimpse into the daily activities of people in these areas.
Working
together, the University of Utah and Brigham Young University
have placed digitized versions of these two publications
(along with 16 other newspapers) online here as part of
the Utah Digital Newspapers project. Since the project's
inception in 2001, the team has digitized over 140,000 pages,
and currently has plans and the funding to add over 240,000
more pages by September 2005.
Visitors
using this digital archive may browse each individual newspaper
by issue, or elect to search by keywords, article titles,
weddings, deaths, and births. The site also has a nice map
that users can scroll over to determine which counties in
Utah had newspapers that are currently archived in this
database. Visit
this very informative site.

12. Education: Religion and Ethics
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Religion
and ethics are some of the most debated areas of the human
experience around the world, so it is fitting that the BBC
has created this online clearinghouse of relevant information
and news coverage about these two complex topics.
The
site contains a number of general interest sections that
provide rich discussion of various world religions and a
number of subjects in the field of ethics, such as the ethics
of war, euthanasia, human cloning, and genetic engineering.
Visitors
can also listen to broadcasts of the BBC's many programs
devoted to exploring various religions, such as Missionaries,
which looks at the legacy of missionary work around the
world. Equally compelling are the fractious message boards
where visitors can opine about various religious topics
and ethical debates.
The
site is rounded out by an interactive multi faith calendar,
which shows the religious festivals and celebrations of
eight world faiths. To visit this site, go to this link,

16. Immigration: Disclaimer about Tuariki Delamere
of New Zealand
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = =
By
political reporter from New Zealand
Immigration
Minister Lianne Dalziel says former minister Tuariki Delamere
is behind a "sophisticated scam" that allows migrants
to avoid residency rules.
She
revealed the scheme to the finance and expenditure select
committee yesterday and labeled it disgusting.
Mr.
Delamere was Immigration Minister in the last National Government
until sacked just before the 1999 election by then-Prime
Minister Jenny Shipley. The Delamere Group is in
no way associated with this individual and we adamantly
express our opinion that we do not approve of what is going
on in New Zealand by corrupt ex-officials dealing with immigration
permits.

18. Immigration: How stupid is the UK immigration
system?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = =
The
panic began when a letter landed on the doormats of every
Chinese restaurant and takeaway in the country. At first
glance, the circular from Home Office minister Des Browne
appeared to be little more than bureaucratic housekeeping,
announcing a change in immigration checking procedures.
But
the letter - and the immigration crackdown on illegal workers
it heralded - has sparked a recruitment crisis that spreads
from the kitchens of London's Chinatown to takeaways across
the country.
Restaurant
owners, faced with the threat of two years in jail and heavy
fines, have sacked hundreds of workers who lacked the proper
documentation, even though many of them had worked in the
same establishments for years. To read the full report,
go to our NEWS
DESK link.
Editor's Note: We warned the Home Office about this
problem many years ago and they ignored our letter.

London:
Sixteen people were arrested on Wednesday in dawn raids
targeting an immigration scam that brought more than 1 000
people, mainly South Africans, into Britain using fraudulently
obtained student visas.
More
than 120 officers from the Metropolitan Police specialist
crime directorate swooped on 12 addresses across London
and in adjoining Essex, including two suspected bogus colleges
in Tooting, south London. To read the full report, go to

Jewish
communities in Central and Eastern Europe are getting a

Kingston,

said on Sunday that South Africa would be his "temporary

Speaking
shortly before his planned departure for South Africa, he
