Somali Pirates' Homemade Hijacking Video - Piraten Video -
By Evan Hansen wired.com
The 10 minute 42 second video, taken by the pirates themselves, is both oddly intimate yet strangely banal.

The vessel and crew were released unharmed on Jan. 6, 2009, after a ransom was paid. more on "DANGER ROOM" Blog on wired.com blog

Airplane Cabin Air: It’s Toxic
By Kimberly • February 26, 2008
Nausea, headaches, memory loss, neurological illness, paralysis… from flying?
Indeed. When you’re on a plane, you’re likely breathing in toxic fumes from the cabin air.
According to the Daily Mail, half of the air in your plane “comes from the blisteringly hot heart of its engines… [and] once it has been cooled down, that air, together with any toxins it might have picked up along the way, passes straight into the aircraft cabin totally unfiltered.” And this has been happening since 1962, when airlines realized it was cheaper to recycle engine air than to make air from the outside breathable. more...

The Miami Herald: Miami banker gives $60 million of his own to employees/Banker zahlt 60 Millionen Dollar an seine Mitarbeiter aus eigener Tasche
BY MARTHA BRANNIGAN
MBRANNIGAN@MIAMIHERALD.COM
Lots of bosses say they value their employees. Some even mean it.
And then there's Leonard Abess Jr.
After selling a majority stake in Miami-based City National Bancshares last November, all he did was take $60 million of the proceeds -- $60 million out of his own pocket -- and hand it to his tellers, bookkeepers, clerks, everyone on the payroll. All 399 workers on the staff received bonuses, and he even tracked down 72 former employees so they could share in the windfall. more...

1968: The crew of Apollo 8 delivers a live, televised Christmas Eve broadcast after becoming the first humans to orbit another space body.

WDR Markt 8.12.08 21:00 Uhr: Beim Kauf von einem Auto, bekommt man ein Zweites gratis
Der belgische Autohändler Cardoen, mit acht Filialen in Belgien verkauft ein Auto zum Listenpreis, und gibt eines GRATIS hinzu.Bericht am 08.12.08 im WDR Fernsehen "Markt" um 21.00 Uhr.
Autor: Wolfgang Rathgeber
Für 22800.- Euro verkauft der Autohändler Cardoen in seinen acht Filialen in Belgien einen Hyundai 6 Sitzer VAN und der Kunde bekommt einen KIA Rio gratis hinzu. Das ist das beste Angebot, das Ivo Willems, Direktor der Firma seit dem 29.11.2008 seinen Kunden macht. Wer sowieso zwei Autos kaufen will könnte ein Schnäppchen machen, denn bis zu 35% Rabatt gewährt das Unternehmen, so jedenfalls gibt es der Direktor an. "Es komme eben auf die Kombination an", so Ivo Willems. Die Fahrzeuge sind mit einem roten und gelben Punkt versehen. Der Preis des roten Autos ist ein unverbindlicher Richtpreis, den man zahlen muss, um eine Auto mit gelben Punkt seiner Wahl gratis zu bekommen. Gratis heißt, ein Rabatt, den man normalerweise beim Kauf eines Wagens aushandeln kann, ist das zweite Fahrzeug. In kürzester Zeit verkaufte das belgische Unternehmen zahlreiche Autos, wie es woanders in dieser Krise wohl kaum üblich ist. "Wir werden nicht nicht reich. Aber es geht um was anderes. Wir wollen statt schlechte Nachrichten aus der Branche, gute Nachrichten bringen", meint Direktor Ivo Willems, der sich als charismatischer Verkäufer vor der Kamera präsentiert. Empfehlenswert ist es doch die Preise bei einem anderen Händler zu prüfen, der ja auch Rabatte gewährt. Auch ist es entscheidend, ob man ein zweites Auto überhaupt will. Auch wenn man den zweiten Wagen verkaufen will, dürfte das in der heutigen Zeit nicht leicht sein. Für Käufer außerhalb Deutschlands wird die Mehrwertsteuer, die in Belgien 21% beträgt herausgerechnet. In Deutschland müsste die Mehrwertsteuer von 19% wieder an das Finanzamt gezahlt werden. Außerdem muss der Wagen TÜV abgenommen werden, und deutsche Papiere bekommen. Kosten rund 200,00 Euro. Mitte Dezember endet diese belgische Aktion. Ob sie verlängert wird ist noch nicht klar. Sie wird vielleicht auch in Deutschland Nachahmer finden.
