...have plenty of skilled people here," says Moez Bakir, an engineering manager at Eurocast, a Tunisian subsidiary of Arizona-based firm Paradigm Precision Holdings. Eurocast, which is based outside Tunis, builds aircraft parts for GE Aviation and Rolls-Royce, paying its machine operators about $280 a month - a fraction of what equivalent workers would earn in Europe. Over 80% of Tunisia's exports head to Europe, where they will soon be exempt from customs duties, thanks to a free-trade agreement that takes effect in January. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Europeans soak up the sun on Tunisia's beaches...

And except for those fans who are satisfied with endless collisions and messy contests for the ball, everyone knows...
...incredible drawings of plants and animals” and “fine pencil marks.” Launched in late 2004, the Harvard-Google Project encompasses only the books that are not under copyright protection. Over a million books are affected by the project, though that is a fraction of the University’s holdings of over 15.8 million volumes. The Internet search firm is also collaborating with other university libraries in the project, including those at Princeton and Stanford Universities...
