...eels, ducks, chickens with their heads cut off, and exotic items that words can’t do justice.I was strolling through when I saw a vendor pull a live snake from a bag, gut it, and hand it to a paying customer, who then headed to find some fresh onions for his reptilian dinner. There was nothing fake about that moment, and for some reason, I feel much more comfortable in Shanghai having seen it. Chinese beer tastes better to me now, I can hold my chopsticks with more confidence, and when a patch of sweat appears under...
...Still, the Associated Press followed up by reporting that the Pakistan army had issued fresh orders "to open fire on U.S. troops if they launch another raid across the Afghan border." Again, General Abbas, who was quoted in the story, disputes the claim: "The comments were taken out of context," he says. "There was no new order issued.

...which, one hopes, will spark a fresh reappraisal of the work of the most misunderstood, and very likely best, playwright currently writing in English. That is far from a widespread view.

But if the company doesn't gain access to much more - it could need to raise as much as $75 billion - quickly, it might...
...either counts for Core credit or is a literal recasting of a former Core course, it becomes clear that both curricula are so watered-down that tangible and substantive differences between the two are difficult to find. As such, the original ideal of Gen Ed as a breath of fresh air to replace the detached and defunct Core has been completely violated. The fact that the Advising Programs Office has jokingly called Gen Ed the “same thing” as the Core is insulting to the designers of Gen Ed and those students forced to study under...
