Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs' father was a Syrian Muslim immigrant!
Due to the Syrian refugee crisis and the Paris terrorist attacks on Friday 13 November 2015 there has been renewed interest in the fact that the late Steve Jobs' father is actually a Syrian Muslim.
According to USA Today one of the most popular US newspapers 'some people couldn't help but turn to Twitter, wondering if there would ever be a Steve Jobs or Apple if the most restrictive "keep-them-out" policies were in place."
As pressure mounted on the US and European governments to restrict Syrian refugee immigration in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, tweets referring to Steve Jobs' origins quickly spread on Twitter. John Nichols, a writer for The Nation – America's oldest weekly magazine – tweeted: "Those who propose sweeping bans on refugees might want to consider this: Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian migrant."
Tasmania needs UK Dairy Farmers on Australian 457 work visas!
The island of Tasmania in Australia is set to launch a major recruitment drive in an attempt to attract UK dairy farmers to work in the island's dairy units. Milk production on the island has grown at an average rate of about 5% per year over the last ten years. That is a 43% increase overall in comparison with a national decline of 4% across Australia as a whole, Tasmania is in need of UK workers to meet demand.
The growth in Tasmania's milk production has been attributed to 'sustainable farm management practices, efficient farm production and a favourable climate that suits pasture-based dairy farming,' according to DairyTas, which is part of farmer body Dairy Australia.
DairyTas has indicated that there is 'investment potential in Tasmania's current dairy farms for new farm conversions and additional processing capacity. Steve Jarman, who's heading up a DairyTas project called 'Into Dairy,' said: "Tasmania is launching a new campaign to lure international farmers to consider its local industry as a viable and sustainable dairy investment."
