At first it sounded like a Thanksgiving story, but the more I
reflected on it, the more appropriate it seemed for any time of the
year. The way I heard it, the story went like this:
.
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a
fun assignment — to draw a picture of something for which they were
thankful.
.
Most of the class might be considered economically disadvantaged, but
still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other
traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would
be the subjects of most of her student’s art. And they were.
.
But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different
kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, frail and
unhappy. As other children played at recess, Douglas was likely to Read More

Jamaicans overseas urged to invest in country
Published: Saturday | May 23, 2009
Jamaicans overseas are being urged to invest in their country to help the island weather the current financial hurricane sweeping the globe.
Speaking at the 2009 Jamaica National Building Society’s (JNBS) Outlook for The Future series in London and Birmingham, Jamaican officials said the island was ripe with investment opportunities and needed home-grown investors to capitalise on them.
“It’s an investment paradise as well as a tourism paradise,” said Laurence Jones, regional head of the European arm of the Jamaica Trade Investment (JTI). He told scores of Jamaicans and their descendants, who came out to the Royal Geographical Society in London, that “this is the time we need you to show your commitment to Jamaica”.

Several large U.S. companies are actively seeking thousands of new employees. » Firms that are hiring
As many big companies are announcing mass layoffs, these Fortune 100 employers have at least 150 openings as of mid-April.
It’s no secret that many big companies are announcing mass layoffs and pay cuts in the recession. With 5.1 million jobs lost nationwide since 2008, and the current unemployment rate at the 25-year high of 8.5%, it’s easy to feel down about the battered labor market.
But the job prospects aren’t entirely bleak. We looked at the top 100 of this year’s Fortune 500 list and found 28 with at least 150 job openings as of mid-April. Some, like Wal-Mart, say they’re hiring thousands of people to staff new locations. Others, like Motorola, have hundreds of positions open in a variety of fields: engineering, sales, finance, marketing and project management.
Brush up the résumé and iron the suit. Your next job could be a click away.
