This is funny. Don't take it out of context though. It shows how the craze of outsourcing and trying to save a penny here and there just might get to the extremes depicted in this article. (hopefully not though) :-)
Just a few random thoughts by yours truly...Moi!!! :D
*This is an approximate translation and an approximate transliteration of the song 'Oh Carol' by Stereo Nation. I cleaned it up a bit, but my source is from Yahoo Answers
Oh Carol, tere pyar ki kasam
Oh Carol, I swear on my love
Tu mere sapnon ki raani, meri jaan aur jigaar
You are the queen of my dreams, my heart and soul
Oh Carol, hum kabhi ho na juda
Oh Carol, may we never be apart
Mere dil ko na tohdo, mujhe de na saza!
Don’t ever break my heart, don’t punish me so!
Darling there will never be another,
Coz I love you so!
Don't ever leave me!
Say you'll never go!
I will always want you for my sweetheart!
No matter what you do!
Oh Carol, I'm so in love with you!
Sanoo chad ke na javeen sohni baliye!
Don’t ever leave, pretty girl
Sanoo chad ke na javeen sohni balliye!
Don’t ever leave me pretty girl
Lele tu meri jaan, kudiye!
Take my life if you have to, girl
Haan javeen na javeen na javeen chad baliye!
Just don’t go, don’t go, don’t go leaving me girl.
O Carol, dil se dil milla de
Oh Carol, join your heart with mine
Mere gham ko mitta de, aaja re tu sanaam
Wipe away my sorrows, come now my love
Oh Carol, jeevan ki har khushi, kadmon main bicha doon
Oh Carol, I will lay all of life’s joys at your feet
Tum meri zindagi
You are my life

What the real crisis is like!
If you think that the current economic crisis is something that has never happened in history before, you may be wrong! After the collapse of the agriculture sector in Zimbabwe in 2000, the inflation in that country skyrocketed to 231 million percent a year! Just think about it - 231 000 000%! Unemployment went up to 80% and a third of country's population left it.
Let`s now have a look at the photos that you may not be able to see anywhere else in the world.
Here is a boy getting change in 200 000 dollar notes!
One 200 000 dollar note equals less than $0.10 cents.
December 22nd, a new note of 500 000 dollars introduced to the market!
Next - 750 000 dollars.
January - new note of 10 million dollars.
This US $10 dollar note is 10 times worth more than the 10 million dollars Zimbabwe note.
A case worth 65 billion Zimbabwe dollars which equals to $2000 US dollars.
This guy is going to a supermarket. The exchange rate is 25 million Zimbabwe dollars for 1 US dollar.
This mountain of cash is worth $100.
50 Million note is then introduced!
Next is 250 million dollars note!
Sorry, how much is this t-shirt?
- It`s cheap, only about 3 billion dollars!
May - a note of 500 million dollars is introduced!
June - note worth 25 and 50 billion are printed.
And finally - 100 billion dollars note!
What can you buy for it? Well, these 3 eggs for example.
Thats how people went to restaurants!
And the bills:
In August, the government devalued Zimbabwe dollar by removing 10 zeros from notes.
However, inflation kept going up and in September for this amount of cash you could only buy 4 tomatoes.
And for this - some bread.
And then it started again: 20 000 dollars note in September.
50 000 a couple of weeks ago!
They`ve got a pretty good chance of hitting billion dollar notes again by the end of this year!

The Horn of Africa: Conflicts in
In previous centuries, conquest and colonization were key elements to the success and survival of a country. However, as these powerful countries began to withdraw their reign over colonies and offer them their independence, it is seen that many of those colonies break into turmoil. In many cases, the result is a civil war, which then begins to directly affect the people due to poor economy, poverty, and the like. In the case of the Horn of Africa,
History
In the mid-1800s, the route that many European countries used to steer their way towards India was to go south on the Atlantic Ocean along the coast of Africa, round the cape, head north along the east coast of Africa, then head east towards India.

In 1970, the ELF breaks into two branches, the original ELF and the Eritrean Popular Liberation Front (EPLF or PLF). The PLF broke away with a Marxist ideal, while the ELF simply wanted independence. It was not long before the two groups broke into civil war in 1972-74. So essentially, the Eritrean people were fighting not only the Ethiopians for independence, but were also struggling with conflicts regarding their internal balance of power. Each group felt that they had a better way to work towards independence and, consequently, each decided to deal with

Even now, the conflicts in the Horn of Africa are still very much alive. Questions of sovereignty, rights to land and religious beliefs continue to go without answers. In these situations, the international community will play a key role in determining the fate of this region.
