PaloAlto CEO tells employees to bring their kids to work

If Lebanon is going to re-invent itself, it should follow the lead of average westerners who still separate employed mothers from children. Instead it could benefit from the example of pioneers like the CEO of Palo Alto software, who arranged for her employees to bring their kids to work.

Lebanon could be inspired by unusual westerners like Palo Alto's CEO, but it doesn't need to do however is imitate the west blindly. As Zaha Hadid said, it's in the west that she faced discrimination as a woman architect, and she said that in the middle-east, while men treat women differently, they don't hate them nor do they patronize them. The west has a streak of male aggression that it has yet to face.

Money laundering from the US to Saudi Arabia

Congressional hearing on Al Sanaa and money laundering, and financing terror.
Are we really supposed to believe 1 trillion dollars when from the US to Saudi Arabia because the US bank (bank of America) was simply too trusting of a Saudi money transmittance company?!! Looks more like political connivence to me, in sending money to the Saudi backers of terror groups.

Money transmittance is in effect the service provided by companies like western union does, and the Saudi company in question did the same, through BMO.
