Obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths each year in America, and Ian is determined to not be a statistic

Frantic pace of work, total dedication to the company, maximum academic pressure: the South Koreans impose a hellish pace on themselves. For all, one goal: to be efficient and competitive.

Thanks to this mentality and to excessive efforts, South Korea has become one of the most powerful economies in the world, while the country was one of the poorest less than 50 years ago.

In the midst of WWII, Catholics looked to the pope to guide them. Hitler had already begun secretly launching his plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Secretly, that is, to most- except Pope Pius XII. The pope remained silent whilst the rest of the world awaited any kind of grand gesture or speech condemning Hitler’s atrocities.
He chose to keep quiet in the face of the crimes committed by the Nazis throughout Europe, crimes that even took place below the Pope’s own windows, like the 1943 liquidation of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome, to which the pope made no official reaction.
At first glance, Nazism and Catholicism are diametrically opposed. The Vatican even seems an institution beyond all suspicion. The Church, however, faced in turn with the rise of Nazism, the Second World War and the extermination of Jews, will play an ambiguous – at times unholy – role. Several men of the Church, priests and bishops, being fervent admirers of Hitler, even fell into complicity…

Lead suspect in a hit & run charge is arrested and interrogated

During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military launched a massive effort to strengthen South Vietnam’s forces and gradually shift the responsibility of the war effort to them—a strategy known as Vietnamization.
As American troops phased out, South Vietnamese soldiers, police, and local defense forces stepped up, supported by advisors and military aid. From riverine warfare in the Mekong Delta to air strikes from massive aircraft carriers, the conflict was fought on land, sea, and air.
With a mix of military strategy, civic action, and counterinsurgency, this transition aimed to secure a nation under siege while changing the course of history.
