Samer Makhlouf, director of OneVoice Palestine just shared a very hopeful bit of information with me, in the form of a survey. The survey, found on Maan Network asked the following:
The Palestinian society is capable of changing the Israeli political map through:
1. explaining the suffering under occupation to Israelis
2. non-violent resistance
3. intensifying meetings of Palestinians figures with Israeli media
Two good indicators here are that Palestinians acknowledge the importance of addressing Israeli society, and that more than 80% believe in non-violence as a mean to end the conflict.

My brother shared this hilarious video, which while mocking the obsession of people with Apple products, actually highlights the power of brands.
Apple does actually have a lot of technological reasons for its success. But its brand indeed transcends much of the functional strengths to the iconic sphere and status symbol.
Then again, there is another side to this debate which says the iPhone really IS better:
It is incredibly saddening and disappointing to see the intolerance that is terrorizing civilians in the Netherlands today. This article in the Brussels Journal introduces the term “Decoy Jew,” or policemen dressed in traditional Jewish garb who are looking to arrest attackers who accost them, assuming they are Jews. It is horrible that Jews are still encountering this needless hatred and bias and a sad fact that these “Decoy Jews” need exist.

An amazing OpEd in Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper shows that OneVoice’s Imagine 2018 campaign is a bold and innovative one, and is quickly gaining popular attention. Prominent Israeli politicians have been receiving a mock ups of an Israeli newspaper from the future, thanking the politicians for attaining peace by 2018. Read more to see the extensive positive attention that Imagine 2018 has garnered already!

The following quote is an old Cherokee saying and was shared at the Trinity University reunion by Courtney Powers:
"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Dr. Felicia Stoler could hardly contain her excitement when talking about KIND on The 10! Show. Dr. Stoler emphasized KIND’s benefits in weight management and confirmed that snacking is good for you. The key ingredient to success in weight management is selecting smart calories that fill you up and taste good too, which makes KIND a great snack choice…especially for those looking to stick to their New Year’s Resolutions!

This article in the New York Times captured an insight I’ve always felt is right but had never been able to consciously formulate: that, whether you are managing your waistline or a company’s bottom line, you will be far more successful if you focus on the intrinsic behavior and culture of your eating and of your company’s spending behavior.
As the article states:
In fact, the best strategy is not to think about it as budgeting at all. Instead, set up broad goals and automate all savings and other priorities where you can.
It is far more effective to create a culture in your company that prizes resourcefulness and educates your team to invest only on all that is necessary, and at the best terms, than to set rules for each line item. Of course as you grow, budgets are necessary. But team leaders should know how to evaluate and seize opportunities in an entrepreneurial fashion, even if they don’t necessarily fit in a “budget”, so long as they actually show they can pay off. And vice-versa, just because you have a budget, you should not spend funds without ensuring that the particular expense is cost-effective, advisable, and procured on the best possible terms.
Dieting is similarly artificial. You can endure it for a while but then regress to your habits. Learning how to eat healthful food whose ingredients you can see and pronounce is far more effective in the long run. Here is a blog entry that provides some basic guidelines.
Today, Daniel was interviewed by Fox Business News in a segment depicting how influential the private sector can be in America’s fight against obesity. Daniel’s interview was part of the ongoing debate on whether the Government should police healthy eating, and this segment reinforces how influential entrepreneurial solutions can be. Even though Daniel admitted to having a sweet tooth (keep any and all funnel cake sticks away!) it is clear from this segment that KIND’s unbounded devotion to health and deliciousness will be key ingredients in helping American’s maintain healthy lifestyles.
