A friend of mine who lives in Fredricton told me how awful some winters are with the storms and power cuts (I used to live in Edmonton, so it's basically the same lol), but very beautiful in the summer, will surely visit it!

A bit related to your documentary, there's this book by Anthony Shadid called House of Stone, he talks about how he went back to Lebanon to rebuild an old family house. In his book, he also talks a lot about how his family immigrated to the US in the early 1900s and what they went through to get there, your documentary reminded me a lot of it!

How about unsaturated fats (with limits), you can use a bit of olive oil if necessary; just try to avoid it because it contains a bit of saturated fat as well (2 g). Oh and Tefal to prevent sticking. Egg whites instead of a whole egg, soy milk, beans, oatmeal, soups and vegetable sandwiches, spaghetti (without the meat-balls), etc. should do.

Oh and you should consider ordering this book. Roy Swank is one of the leading researchers on the effect of diet on MS. While it's controversial if MS is linked to diet (causality wise), there are many studies showing diet helps patients.

Edit: Wanted to add /r/MultipleSclerosis . Best of luck.

> The illegitimate state of israel

What exactly is a legitimate state? I'm genuinely curious.

>Why is 25% of harvard is jewish?

Because they basically put a huge religious emphasis in education since the Middle-Ages.

Every Jewish family was pressured by Rabbis to become litterate when most people were illiterates. Combine that for several generations and you get a sustrainable advantage.

Here are two excellent books on the matter:

https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Few-Education-Princeton-Economic/dp/0691163510

https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691153063/capitalism-and-the-jews

I second JohannQ on this. You might be interesting in reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Start-up-Nation-Israels-Economic-Miracle/dp/0446541478/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410626536&sr=8-1&keywords=startup+nation

It explains to you Israel's economy and how successful their IT sector is.


In the introduction to the book, Shimon Perez talks about AI being an important technology in the next 20 years.

Nice, Silkroads is on my to read list, didn't know it talked about the Levant that much.

Nassim Taleb mentioned once, that the Levant, was the most economically prospersous region of the world for the longest time, from the discovery of agriculture to arguably the demise of the ottoman empire.

On that topic i think you'd like this book Levant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean basically focuses on the three great trade cities of the Ottoman Empire Smyrna, Alexandria and Beirut

Anyways, If you look at it through the context of history, the norm is for our region to be booming, it just seems that by fluke we were born at a time when its going through its current phase. 70 years of instability vs +4000 years of mostly prominence. Our current period is only temporary in the grad scheme of things i guess

Although I haven't read it, myself, Lebanon: A History, 600 - 2011 by William Harris comes highly recommended as a, thorough, yet contrite, and unbiased, yet delicate examination of Lebanon's history from 600AD - 2011.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, there was an earlier post dealing with the same topic on this sub, no?

 

Update: Found the post

Here are few suggestions:

1. Go to Maliks and get a customized hat, mug, or T-shirt: https://www.amazon.com/Because-Im-Director-Thats-Why/dp/B01N6CPKNM
   
2. Customized Oscar trophy would be cool. https://www.amazon.com/Crown-Awards-AZ-TRTOWV8-Oscar-Trophy/dp/B01M1VN7WQ
   
3. A classic movie poster framed is priceless : https://www.amazon.com/Chinatown-27-Framed-Movie-Poster/dp/B01IU8MGEQ

No.
I just read this book and it convinced me

>every single one of your sources are megaphones of IDF

John Merscheimer wrote an entire book against Israel. If The National Review is a "Megaphone for the Israeli Army" then why did they invite John Merscheimer to write new articles ? It's completely illogical.

The Economist is the most respected magazine in Britain. It was founded in the 1840. Bill Gates says "I read every issue of The Economist, from cover to cover, it makes me think critically"


You claim that the targets were not Iranians. When I give you sources explaining a proxy war is happening, you falsely accuse the sources of helping the Israeli Army. While still refusing to answer about your claim

I have a very hard time following you.

Has anyone read this book :
The Lebanese Connection: Corruption, Civil War, and the International Drug Traffic

http://www.amazon.com/The-Lebanese-Connection-Corruption-International/dp/0804781311

Ch.16 sections 5-7 of Arab Awakening, George Antonius

No you're wrong. Get a copy of that book and read those sections. It even has the letters sent between the Frangieh family and the French commanders discussing this in more detail (and more complicated than the way you are simplifying it to). I wish I had a copy with me to paste them here for you but I read this six years ago cover to cover and I remember distinctly being surprised when seeing Frangieh's name and then reading the letters he sent, asking the French to keep Lebanon only in the mountainous Christian areas to keep the country Christian. They so did not want to include the coast because they feared the country would slip back into Muslim rule and then they would be going back to "Ottoman" days.

Jesus you dont even have a primary-school level understanding of the Lebanese civil war or Lebanese history. Are you 12 years old by any chance?

All I can do is recommend that you read the following:

A House of Many Mansions by Kamal Salibi

Inventing Lebanon by Kais Firro

These are my favourite. I'm sure there are many other good ones. Pick one, read it. Then come back and discuss the Lebanese civil war and history


>It is the same reason why arabs are still at war with israel: a jewish majority. This is the imperialist ambitions of islam.

Ohh yeaaah. It's about the imperialist ambitions of Islam, not, you know, the Nakba or anything like that. What a goddamn dumbass. You're entirely clueless, I can only hope you're still in middle school.
