The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

Elon Musk Hires His Dog as Twitter CEO, Says 'Great with Numbers'
Elon Musk on Wednesday said that he has hired a dog to replace him as Twitter CEO.
Musk tweeted a picture of his pet dog "Floki" sitting on the company's CEO's chair, with the caption: "The new CEO of Twitter is amazing."
"So much better than that other guy!" he added.
Musk later said that the dog is "great with numbers!" and "has style."
Several users expressed their thoughts on Musk's post. When one user said, "I guess he was the only one crazy enough to take the job."
Musk replied: "He is perfect for the job."

"Will Twitter add the option of reporting animal abuse under the new leadership?," another user asked.
In December last year, Musk had said that he would only run the software and servers teams after he finds "someone foolish enough" to take his place.
He made the statement in a response to a poll he ran, where 57.5 per cent of the respondents said that he should step down as the Twitter CEO.
Meanwhile, he had said, "No one wants a job who can actually keep Twitter alive. There is no successor... The question is not finding a CEO, the question is finding a CEO who can keep Twitter alive."
