Have a wonderful holiday. See you next week!

The southern Sumatra earthquake of September 30, 2009 occurred as a result of oblique-thrust faulting near the subduction interface plate boundary between the Australian and Sunda plates.
At least 1100 people were killed, 2181 were injured and thousands are still unaccounted for in the Padang area.

Was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad born Jewish?
The fact that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hails from jewish background has sparked a fierce debate.

The British newspaper examined the Iranian leader’s identity card which he showed in public during his country’s elections in March 2008.

The ID card bears his family’s surname, Sabourjian, which is a Jewish name that means cloth weaver.

Ahmadinejad’s identity papers indicate that his family changed its name and converted to Islam after he was born.

Brazil Stocks Advance on Olympic Tourism, Investment Prospects

Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Brazilian stocks gained the most in almost a month after investors bought shares of retailers, steelmakers and transportation companies that will benefit from the 2016 Olympics.

Brazil’s planned $11 billion in infrastructure spending for Rio de Janeiro’s 2016 Olympic Games spurred gains of more than 3 percent for steelmaker Gerdau SA, electric company Light SA and Dufry South America Ltd., a duty-free retailer in Brazilian airports. Vale SA, the world’s biggest iron ore miner, advanced 1.5 percent after Bank of America Corp. said earnings growth may top estimates as consumer spending grows and corporate- financing costs drop.
