North Korea Attacks Yeonpyeong-Myeon South Korea as Promised - Why USA is Not Immune
North Korea Attacks Yeonpyeong-Myeon South Korea as Promised - Why USA is Not Immune
On November 27, NPR called the 3-mile-long Yeonpyeong island "charred and desolate", with photographic images of localized housing damage to match their description. The town hall and only healthcare center were severely damaged, the military base taking large damage as well.
Aside from the military installation just about 7 miles from North Korean territory, Yeonpyeong is historically a small fishing village know for high quality crab capture, civilian population estimates to be between 1,200 and 1,700 in 2010. Residents fled the island community by ferry over the course of two days to take up residence in a bath house in Incheon, South Korea.
Apparently, the conflict and irregularly occurring military attacks at Yeonpyeong Island have endured for 60 years, North Korea insisting that it owns the waters surrounding the island. In an eerie event, news media state that 60 buildings went aflame during the latest attack in November 2010 - one for each year of the conflict. South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-Young resigned after the 2010 attack. The Yellow Sea where the charred island floats remained a point of contention for North and South Korea and China.

Native American Migration from Russia to Iceland
Native American Migration from Russia to Iceland:
"Eskimo (Inuit) Nation at the Top of the World.
One human migration theory holds that the Thules on the west coast of Greenland became the Inuit that live across the northern parts of the North American Continent. This would seem to mean that the Thules traveled from Greenland around the Arctic Circle clockwise and ended in Iceland. While certain evidence links the Thules to the Inuit, none yet links them to the Koreans; whereas Inuit peoples are genetically related to some degree to all other circumpolar/subpolar peoples, including northern Asians. I think the People of the North must be the originals - not of all mankind perhaps, but of the North of the Eastern Hemisphere, where they have commanded the Arctic Circle genetically. Read more on this history that some groups of people are denying, becuase they do not want to be linked. Fascinating."

Multicolor Leaves and Multiculturalism
I was just writing a, by turns, humorous and dramatic article about multicolored leaves reflecting the multicultural diversity found in the topics of Holidays and Celebrations, Gender and Relationships, and Religions and Philosophy. Suddenly, an interesting article appeared on Facebook.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced during October 2010 that multiculturalism failed in Germany. Many Chrstians see the concept of Multiculturalism as a high holy element Secularism and Humanism.
Yet many media personalities, government leaders, and social services wonderpeople like the idea and promote it. People from opposite cultures can get along. After all, the US was known as the great Melting Pot in the 1800s and 1900s. Today it is a pepper pot.
Multiculturalism seems the result of “cultural relativism” that asserts that all cultures are equal. Fine. Cultural relativism may breed situational relativism - one crime is not worse than another. Not fine. Raping an infant is much worse than stealking a candy bar. Regardless -
If all cultures and all ideas and thus, all religions are valid under a "relativity" that Einstein did not envision; then why so much commotion and effort to suppress Christianity in America?

Back to Reichenbach!
Horror, crime, and the supernatural in one novel -- The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls is a plain black book featuring a black and gray cartoon representation of two men falling over a cliff into the depths of a wide waterfall. This is the very falls over which Professor Moriarity and Sherlock Holmes fought to their supposed deaths in what Arthur Conan Doyle expected to be his last Holmes episode.
Yet, both men lived to pursue the hunt for one another to a new ending.
In this round, RPG designer J. Robert King fills another of his 20+ novels with a rollicking good tale. He brings back Hodges's protagonist, Thomas Carnacki, the Ghost Hunter. King places Carnacki at he start of his career, drifting through Switzerland in search of a living. Rather than that, Thomas meets Ann Moriarity, genius daughter of Professor James Moriarity, an amnesic Sherlock Holmes drenched in a river, Dr. John H. Watson in search of Moriarity's assorted henchmen, another House, MD, living skeletons, and red mists that also seem alive - with evil. Jack the Ripper is another important celebrity in this book, along with a Paris Ripper. Curiously, the real Moriarity is a sympathetic character until Jack the Ripper stalks his beautiful genius wife. He even has an endearing sense of humor.
J. Robert King has enjoyed crime and tales of the supernatural in Hodges' work and added Carnacki and buckets of mysterious blood with Holmes after his supposed death. Eventually, Sherlock wanders across the globe until he is ready to take up residence once again on Baker Street; and Carnacki might be going with him. We hope for many sequels.
This book's Carnacki is a sharp mind, as well as a strong adversary in the newspapers, taunting various Rippers with goading articles and reports. Any fan of mysteries and horror, especially Late Victorian Era works, is in for a treat at Reichenbach Falls.
