10 Chain Restaurants Worth Visiting | The Daily Meal
10 Chain Restaurants Worth Visiting | The Daily Meal: "he world has changed in some fairly huge and achingly obvious ways since milkshake-machine salesman Ray Kroc bought a small-scale restaurant franchise called McDonald’s in 1954. One way is that, as the “food revolution” meets an increasingly impecunious American public, chain restaurants are thriving. The good news is that chains aren’t necessarily what they used to be — which is to say places whose sole goal is to render us fat and stupid with huge portions of mediocre food at bargain prices."

Top 10 Rebels Throughout History
Top 10 Rebels Throughout History: "History is littered with rebels, and because there are so many examples, I’ve specifically chosen rebels with a low social standing. People with low social origins have more reason to become rebels than members of the upper class, but the rebels that originate from the upper class have a better chance at becoming leaders. That’s why certain famous people are missing from this list, including William I, Prince of Orange, Simon Bolivar, Rani Lakshmibai or José Gabriel Condorcanqui. Besides the issue of social standing, I have also chosen to focus on rebels with a military background. That’s why there are no political leaders from the French or Russian Revolutions on this list."

Tiny, land-locked Laos is often overshadowed by close neighbours Thailand and Vietnam, but Southeast Asia’s most laid-back country also has its own unique and tasty cuisine, especially in the former royal city of Luang Prabang.

The Hindu : Debunking the ten myths surrounding Osama bin Laden
The Hindu : Today's Paper News : Debunking the ten myths surrounding Osama
1. Osama bin Laden was ‘created' by the CIA.
He did not receive any direct funding or training from the U.S. during the 1980s. Nor did his followers. The Afghan mujahideen, via Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency, received large amounts of both. Some bled to the Arabs fighting the Soviets but nothing significant.
2. He had a huge personal fortune.
Osama was forced to leave any cash he had when he in effect fled Saudi Arabia in 1991 for Pakistan and then Sudan. His family cut him off. Nor would the inheritance from his hugely wealthy father have been divided into equal parts anyway. What Osama did have was contacts, which allowed him to raise money with ease.
3. He was responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
Ramzi Yousef, who was the main perpetrator of the attack, was probably working for Khaled Sheikh Mohammed who was an independent operator at the time. Mohammed only started working with the al-Qaeda in 1996 and even then kept his distance from Osama.
4. He got money from drug running.
No evidence for this whatsoever despite repeated claims — such as in the post 9/11 British government dossier on the al-Qaeda.
5. He never exposed himself to any danger.
He did not single-handedly seize a short-barrelled AK-47 from a dying Soviet general as he sometimes claimed, but numerous witnesses report that he was in the thick of fighting in Jaji in 1987 and again at the battle of Jalalabad in 1989.
6. He spent a lot of time in caves.
In the late 1990s, for propaganda purposes, Osama invited select journalists to meet him in caves near Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. However, he lived in a much more comfortable compound a short drive away, near the former Soviet collective farm of Hadda owned by a local warlord. By 1999 he had moved to a complex of houses near Kandahar. When he was killed, he was living in a relatively comfortable detached house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. In between, there is no evidence that he spent any time living in caves. The rest of the al-Qaeda's senior militants appear to have lived in the semi-fortified houses that are common in the tribal zones.
7. He was a tearaway teenager who partied in Beirut before becoming religious.
There is no evidence for this either. Osama appears to have been an intense, shy and pious youth who married young and spent an inordinate amount of time studying the scriptures.
8. He was near to dying of a kidney disease.
There are some reports — not least in the Guantanamo files — of renal problems but certainly not serious enough to kill him. It is more likely he had back problems caused by his height (around 1.95 m) and relatively sedentary lifestyle.
9. He hid in Kashmir, was the leader of Chechen groups, was responsible for violence in the Philippines and in Indonesia, organised the Madrid 2004 attack and had an extensive network in Paraguay, sub-Saharan Africa and South Africa.
All these claims, made by various governments or intelligence services over the last decade, have proved totally without foundation.
10. Osama was an Arsenal fan.
Despite fans reportedly chanting “Osama, woah-woah, Osama, woah-waoh, he's hiding in Kabul, he loves the Arsenal,” he was not a faithful of the north London club.
