Famine fears for North Korea, aid group warns
2008-05-10 18:35:00 North Koreans are dying because of food shortages in rural areas, and a massive famine is just a matter of time, a South Korean aid group said Friday. The food situation was as bad as the famine that hit the country in the mid-1990s, which left as many as 2 million people dead, Seoul-based Good Friends -- a Buddhist-affiliated group that sends food and other aid to the North -- cited an unidentified North Korean official Friday as saying. "So far, mass deaths have not occurred as people have become more used to starvation than in the 1990s, but famine is a matter of time," the official was quoted as saying by the aid group. Good Friends also quoted Kim Ki-nam, 39, a resident of Sariwon, south of Pyongyang, as saying one or two deaths were happening every day in rural areas around the city. North Korea has relied on foreign assistance to help feed its 23 million people since the mid-'90s. You see folks, this is how it works: You play nice on the world stage, otherwise...

The picture depicts stricken girl crawling towards an United Nations camp, located a kilometer away.

No one -including the photographer- knows what happened to the child.Here is the story behind the picture: In 1993 Carter headed north of the border with [his colleague] Silva to photograph the rebel movement in famine-stricken Sudan. To make the trip, Carter had taken a leave from the Weekly Mail and borrowed money for the air fare. Immediately after their plane ) touched down in the village of Ayod, Carter began snapping photos of famine victims.

There are more than a few laughs about this one. The old joke, "Punch is not as funny as it used to be - but then again it never was", drew little laughs as it folded.Four years later the Egyptian businessman Mohamed al Fayed brought it back to life.He funded new exposés on the likes of Peter Mandelson, the architect of New Labour, and the media mogul Rupert Murdoch.But eventually it was costing £40,000 per issue to produce with subscriptions at only 6,000 and Mr Al Fayed closed the title again in 2002.The magazine, which was a British institution, had carried articles by William Makepeace Thackeray and A. A. Milne as well as cartoons by the likes of Sir John Tenniel, the illustrator of "Alice in Wonderland".

Chuck Ragan: Feast or Famine
2007-08-12 22:10:00 Chuck Ragan: Feast or FamineFor a decade Chuck Ragan was the gruff voice behind Hot Water Music. Their last album was entitled The New What Next, which may not have seemed ironic in 2004 but certainly can seem so after the band broke up in 2006.The other three members of Hot Water Music went on to form the Draft. Chuck Ragan remained unaffiliated.Feast or Famine is the first studio solo release by Ragan. While his gruff voice was the perfect for a heavy rock band like Hot Water Music, an acoustic solo album seems like a real crap shoot.Luckily Ragan has a lot of clout in the "emo" scene. On his solo debut he pulls guests such as Jolie Holland, James Fearnley of The Pogues, and Matt Skiba of the Alkaline Trio.Ragan uses his gruff voice to his advantage; often channelling Springsteen. It almost seems like Ragan listened to Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions and thought "I can do that." He utilizes instruments like fiddles, banjos, harmonicas, lap steel, and or...
Famine + pressure + frustration = sighs
2007-07-17 03:52:00 I just had a very good day start. It was raining and it felt really good because it so cool. Enjoyed it much more with a cup of coffee while talking with Nanay.Before going to work she told me three things:1. Withdraw enough amount from the ATM;2. Buy rice for lunch and supper;3. Buy load for your phone.The last words sounded really good since it was been several days that I haven't loaded my phone and I badly needed it for coordinating with the facilitators of our training on basic research this coming Saturday.But:1. The line was getting longer at the bank and since we only have one teller machine here in our place, I have nothing to do but to practice my patience and line up after the last homo sapien.2. Worse. When it was my turn? The state of the art teller machine ran out of cash and I have nothing to buy everything for lunch and myself. My pocket's empty! The only amount I have at home is my collection of 10 and 5 centavos I keep in a plastic piggy bank! Impoverished ...

Feast or Famine
2007-02-13 19:10:02 I can count on one hand the number of times Freya and I have been out to eat in the last year. That?s why it seems odd to be posting a second restaurant review this week. It?s true though, just two days after our trip to the Barn Brasserie we found ourselves at another restaurant.It all started innocently enough. My mother-in-law took the week off and as we had booked Friday off as well, we had all decided to go out to a meal together. What Freya and her mom didn?t know was that I had also planned on taking Freya out for our anniversary on Wednesday.I dislike writing restaurant reviews just as much as you dislike reading them, but it was either this or you get an article about my latest food obsession ? smoothies! Fun and tasty, but hardly worth posting about. I will try to make this review seem fun and tasty as well.Our collective love of Mexican food is no secret. ((We have alluded to it on several occasions and, of course, there?s the post I wrote some time back.) I have ...

2006-12-12 10:19:05 by Bonnie NaradzayFirst came four imported breedsof potato, like the Four Horsemen,from the New World. The largesttuber, the Horse Potato, soonwas all the Irish grew. Then,within days, the withering blight -and the sickening smell of decay.The British levied tariffs on imported corn,formerly used for animal fodder,and cheaper wheat was divertedfrom Ireland?s poor to sell to the Continent.Sir Robert Peel?s idea, maize from America,called ?Peel?s Brimstone? for the yellow color,did not catch on. The Chickasaw tribe donatedmoney and wheat. Then England sponsoredlectures, solely in English, on growing wheat- to starving tenants farming quarter-acre lotswho spoke only Gaelic. Pamphletswere handed out on agricultural practicescontaining whole passages from Adam Smith.Lady Gregory?s husband?s clausein the convoluted Poor Lawforced tenants out of their huts,newly roofed with boughs and sod,away from their smoldering fires of peat,while priests gave last rites in the wind.In the winter of...
