...headache that is disabling and comes and goes, the overwhelming odds are that it is migraine," says Dr. Stephen Silberstein, director of the Jefferson Headache Center in Philadelphia.

...Arab trading post from about A.D. 800, then a Portuguese one from 1760. At the turn of the 20th century, it consisted of two forts, a grand plaza, countless mansions and a population of 37,000. But with the end of colonialism in 1975, Ibo was forgotten.

Over the last few years, JAL has continuously cut back on unprofitable international routes, and will continue to do so under its revitalization plan. Today, JAL has roughly three times the number of international routes operated by ANA, but Matsumoto says that if things go according to plan in the next three years, the size of JAL's international business will decrease by about 40%. "There will be no significant difference between these airlines in terms...
...Today, with a lack of resources and a much higher population density than its neighbor, Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. The U.N. has sent peacekeeping missions to maintain order there since the mid-1990s, but terrible conditions persist. Haiti's dismal statistics have a long history; no devil is necessary...
