Submitted by ub on

The Bronx Chamber of Commerce, an entity is celebrating its 118th birthday and was founded in 1894, along with its 600 members is delighted to hear that Fresh Direct has chosen The Bronx as the site of their new distribution home. The move, which will transfer almost two thousand jobs, 30% of which are currently Bronxites, and will create an additional 1,000 in the next five years, will provide sorely needed jobs in the borough with the highest concentration of unemployment in the State of New York.

Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the start of protests in Bahrain. Tens of thousands are expected to take to the streets to protest a government that has committed terrible violence against its own citizens.

When Bahrain's streets awaken in protest tomorrow, will government forces crack down on peaceful demonstrators again? Will there be more tear gas, torture, killings?

We don't know what will happen tomorrow. But we do know that tragedy is not inevitable.

Anyone who has ever thought that there was nothing they could possibly do to change the world, may wish to reconsider. Nowadays, everyone can generate the power to start a revolution at our fingertips.

When "The Founding Fathers" of USA adopted the Bill of Rights guaranteeing that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,” very few could possibly have foreseen that anyone could publish a truth accessible to the entire world via the World Wide Web to be read or viewed by millions of people around the world.
