Minneapolis protest against Arizona immigrant law SB 1070 (Photo credit: Fibonacci Blue ) Note: This is just my view, but I believe I am right even just to voice out my opinion. No harm intended at all... ----- 17-Jan-2013 It is almost always notable that anybody can be a migrant, and that is the reason why I title my post as such – one day you are a local, and when you travel out of your country, your native land , you become a foreigner .

More than 60,000 teachers and other workers at Tokyo's public schools will get a copy by the end of March in a 10-million-yen (110,000-US-dollar) project. "There are so many," a Tokyo teacher said as she recalled complaints her elementary school has received. "A mother rings us at 7:30am and keeps nagging for two hours...
