Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to show gratitude. It costs nothing to be nice and to show appreciation.

Councilman Eric Ulrich decided to do something to bring cheer to others. Last year, he organized a free Thanksgiving Day dinner for the less privileged. It was held at the Arabella Castle in Ozone Park NY. It turned out to be a great success. Councilman Ulrich said at the time, ‘The holidays can be stressful or sad or lonely for some people.

The End of the World Trade Organisation As We Know It

The Economist

“Winter is coming,” warned a Norwegian representative on November 22nd, at a meeting of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The multilateral trading system that the WTO has overseen since 1995 is about to freeze up. On December 10th two of the judges on its appellate body, which hears appeals in trade disputes and authorises sanctions against rule-breakers, will retire — and an American block on new appointments means they will not be replaced. With just one judge remaining, it will no longer be able to hear new cases.        Continue reading →
