Thanks Haim. Why Google's office atmosphere pays back. That thing fires the imagination of kids and they will line up to be interviewed and Google gets the best brains out there. It's plain HR hiring tool. Why in the exclusive neighborhood? The HR dept. knows that the kids need a Starbucks in the neighborhood. Israeli government loves that initiative. Probably talked with Google execs telling them, we 'do an Ireland' to you if you help our kids stay here and not migrate else where. What is 'do an Ireland'? Google Inc. cut its taxes by $3.1 billion in the last three years using a technique that moves most of its foreign profits through Ireland

Report from the field: The port, the corridor and the landlocked at the corridor's end. Millions at stake. Local politics must change as money breaks through. We have two types of folks: The water animals and the hinterlanders. Water animals are HK, the Netherlands and Singapore. (Water Animals because they need good harbor) Make money making a cut of what is coming and being sent across the corridors where consumers are. And from the goods being exported. Water animals make lots of money but needs assistance from those who handle the corridors. Water animals want thecorridors ownersto pay for the improvement of the corridors. Both have its own political. If they do not align, there are tensions. The Netherlands loves an EU. HK loves a mainland. Singapore loves to have discovered the way to exploit thepossibilities of underdeveloped of Indonesians Thais and Malays. Austria, Finland and Sweden loved the former USSR that needed their channel of improted goods. Dubai? Amigo, the Emiratis love to be the channel in embargoed Iran, conservative Saudi and capital flying from Iraq and Afghanistan with the added bonus of the capital flight from Arab Spring. The African water animals Mombassa and the hiterlanders in Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya are locking horns. The Kenya corridor serves the landlocked countries inside Africa. If Kenya does not develop corridor to work more efficiently, the money will go to another corridor: Tanzania in the South since the northerners are too underdeveloped Somalia and Ethiopia. Thus the water animals of Dar es Salaam will gobbled the money. Thus when you hear about trouble brewing in Kenya. Look at it under the geopolitical perspective. Dar es Salaam Economy and infrastructure Bank of Tanzania Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's most important city for both business and government. The city contains unusually high concentrations of trade and other services and manufacturing compared to other parts of Tanzania, which has about 80 percent of its population in rural areas. For example, about one half of Tanzania's manufacturing employment is located in the city despite the fact that Dar holds only ten percent of Tanzania's population. Located on a natural harbour on the Indian Ocean, it is the hub of the Tanzanian transportation system as all of the country's main railways and several highways originate in or near the city. Its status as an administrative and trade centre has put Dar es Salaam in position to benefit disproportionately from Tanzania's high growth rate since the year 2000 so that by now its poverty rates are much lower than the rest of the country. The Benjamin William Mkapa Pension Tower with more than 21 stories is the tallest building in the city and the country. [6] Dar es Salaam and other Tanzanian cities have had, in the past few years, a major construction boom, despite a much higher demand for electricity, which is rationed around the country. Since 2000, Dar es Salaam had a face-lift, but the major infrastructural problems remain. Among those problems are an outdated transport infrastructure and power rationing, which continues to badly affect the Tanzanian economy. .
