News from Israel sources...
I will post here, under the form of comments on this article, news that I get from Israel, as fresh as possible. Sometimes, these news will get also my commentary, marked as such. I advise discretion, and a double check.

ReplyDelete"We lived in Panama City for several years, until about five years ago. I met the principal engineer on the project to build the larger locks needed for the VLCs (Very Large Container) ships to pass. According to this man, an Italian, "It was not going well." Leaks, improper design of the lock doors themselves, and a host of other problems could be traced back to a legal requirement to use primarily Panamanian designs and engineers. Compounding this has been the Canal Authority jacking up passage rates to extortionate levels. Sadly, very little of this massive revenue benefits the average Panamanian. Regardless of what the weather does, mismanagement and corruption paint a troubled future for this wonder of the world."
