"Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too."   It used to be the US of A against the Russians in the world stage. Now, there's this NoKor leader who seems to have replaced the rhetorical soviets. The guy has just threatened to envelope a SoKor village in a sea of flames and the South Korean leadership is not taking the threat lightly. Let's see what will happen.

From the Abu Sayaff to the Al Qaeda, ransoms that ran up to hundreds of millions of dollars are financing bigger and better terrorism activities. In the Philippines, authorities once seized terrorist speedboats that could outrun any of the Philippine Coast Guards vessels. In Mali, a former US diplomat claims that $15 million in ransom paid by France finances Al Qaeda's current activity. The terror group became so powerful that it took the intervention of France and neighboring countries to save the country from getting overrun. Don't pay ransoms-- NEVER!

In India, it seems that at least a few men have not heard the outcry over the gang rape of a young woman who later died. That is because the same modus operandi was repeated by the same number of people. A lady by her lonesome, boarded a bus at night and the driver and conductor drove her to an abandoned building where they were joined by 4 more men. The lady was gang raped repeatedly and was let off the following morning. Like the prior rape incident, the rapists were caught and I hope that they too will suffer the backlash brought about by the first case.

Those of us who are on diet can benefit a lot from the use of portion control plates . The beautifully decorated plates informs people just exactly how much food they are about to eat or have just consumed. Of course, the use of the plates will not guarantee a weight loss. The plates will not stop people from getting 2 nd , 3 rd or 4 th servings!
