Palestinian Amal Rifa'i and Israeli Odelia Ainbinder are two teenage girls who live in the same city, yet worlds apart. They met on a student exchange program to Switzerland. Weeks after they returned, the latest, violent Intifada broke out in the fall of 2000.

But two years later, Middle East correspondent Sylke Tempel encouraged Amal and Odelia to develop their friendship by facilitating an exchange of their deepest feelings through letters. In their letters, Amal and Odelia discuss the Intifada, their families, traditions, suicide bombers, and military service. They write frankly of their anger, frustrations, and fear, but also of their hopes and dreams for a brighter future.

Together, Amal and Odelia give us a renewed sense of hope for peace in the Middle East, in We Just Want To Live Here.

Anker wins again.
Worked well for usb hub but hdmi was not reliable. Disappointed because usually Anker products are good quality. UPDATE: Anker voluntarily offered a refund so my faith in Anker has been fully restored.

Perfect with a MacBook
The Anker USB C Hub works great with my MacBook Air. I paired it with the Anker 100W MacBook charger which plugs directly into the USB C Hub so I only have to plug in one cable like a true docking station. My Apple MagSafe charger stays in my briefcase so I always have a charger when I'm away from my desk. I also plug in my external monitor and an external hard drive. I highly recommend this product!

ASURION 4-Year Housewares Plan - An Excellent ROI
The ASURION 4 Year housewares protection plan was definitely one of the best investments that I've made to date. I had a large, 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner that stopped working properly in its third year of use--one year after the manufacturer's warranty had expired--essentially leaving me with a glorified hot air fan. I proceeded to file a claim on my ASURION 4 Year housewares protection plan. The process could not have been easier and did not require much documentation since the plan was already linked to my prior purchase of the AC off Amazon. I received an Amazon gift card within minutes of filing the claim, thereby definitively demonstrating ASURION's broad coverage scope, reliability, and overall value. As such, I used part of the gift card to purchase another four-year plan on a replacement AC unit that's now sitting in my office. Hopefully, I will not need to use it, but it's good to know that I have coverage if needed.

Asurion coverage was worth every penny!
Bought a window AC in 2020 and was offered Asurion coverage at checkout. Paid $39 for the 4 year plan and never expceted it would be worth the money paid. Honestly, never expected to even use it. That said...the AC failed about 2 years later so I made a claim online. The claim went in but required a call to an Asurion rep (very nice guy on the phone). He asked a few questions then told me the claim was approved. Total time to for the entire process was about 15 mins. I had the choice of having it repaired or a refund check. I asked for the refund. An emailed pre-paid UPS label was recieved a few minites later and the guy said they'd mail me a check when the UPS package was received, so I dropped it off at UPS. Three weeks later I had a check in my hand for $399 (the excact cost I paid for the AC unit 2 years before minus taxes paid). Really easy process and quick time to receive the check. The only thing to note is that if you make a purchase like that (large electronic or home appliance)...keep that box and packaging. Luckily I had it all and just popped it back into the box for shipment. Not sure how I would have dealt with that if I hadn't saved the box. Thank you Asurion, for delivering on your promise of quick and easy extended warranty payment. I'll defintely purchase the plan again with my replacement AC!
