Yokneam

Yokneam Illit (Hebrew: יָקְנְעָם עילית), also Yoqne'am Illit and Jokneam Illit is a city with over 100 high-tech companies and exports of approximately 5 billion US dollars annually. It is located in a hilly region of the lower Galilee at the base of the Carmel Mountains and overlooks the Jezreel Valley, 21 kilometres (13 miles) from Haifa and 80 kilometres (50 mi) from Tel Aviv. Yokneam is known as Israel's "Startup Village" because its high-tech hub is surrounded by forest and small communities.

Yokneam Illit was founded in 1950 and became a local authority in 1967, and a city in 2007. The city is located alongside the country’s major highways – Highway 70 and Highway 6 – with fast, convenient access to central Israel, the north and south. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, Yokneam Illit had a population of 19,524 residents at the end of 2011.

Starting in 1989 when a new mayor, Simon Alfassi, was elected, the economic structure of Yokneam Illit changed from a centralized dependence on two large factories, to a dispersed base of many small high-tech companies. As the number and size of the companies grew, Yokneam and the small communities around it began to attract young entrepreneurs and developers who were looking for a less urban alternative to the Tel-Aviv area.

You Know Me

by: Robbie Williams

If a man could beat his own fantasy
Then to only breed in captivity
Is pointless
I've been doing what I like when I like how I like it's
joyless
Only you know me
What a waste of all this peace ,
Baby steps and two more sleeps
Till I get to say sorry
I get hysterical, historical; of love is just chemical
Give us something to stop me
Only you know me
Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
You don't know cos you're not there
You simply found the words to make a lot of feelings
fade away -or(our model feelings)
Only you know me
I'm doin' fine
And the sun often shines
What are you thinking?
At the worst of my mind
With this thunderbird wine
Baby, I'm drinking-
Only you know me
Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
You don't know cos you're not there
You simply found the words to make a lot of feelings
fade away
Only you know me
Only you know me
Since you went away, my heart breaks everyday
You don't know cos you're not there
You simply found the words to make a lot of feelings
fade away-or(our model feelings)
Only you know me
Only you know me
Only you
Only you
