Africa, consumed by hunger

As drought, famine and war ravage the Horn of Africa, nearly 29,000 children aged below five have already died. Even as it battles the worst drought in 60 years, Somalia can barely lick the wounds inflicted by civil strife, which has plagued the beleaguered nation for two decades. Impoverished refugees fleeing the country to aid camps in Kenya have to face the wrath of Al Qaeda-backed Shebab militia on the poorly policed border between the countries. The crisis, which the United Nations declared as more serious than the 1984 Ethiopia famine that claimed nearly a million lives, now threatens to spread to Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti.

US Debt Crisis: Whose loss, who gains?

Bangalore: The United States of America's decision to avert a sovereign default was cheered by the global markets yesterday. But has it done any good to the nation, world and who is the actual loser in the long run?
The deal that was passed on Monday midnight got the Congress approval approval on Tuesday. Here is what the deal says:
"The two-stage plan calls for $2.4 trillion in savings over the next decade, although the the Congressional Budget Office pegs the savings at $2.1 trillion. It also authorizes an increase in the nation's borrowing limit through the end of 2012. A special congressional committee to recommend long-term fiscal reforms is also part of the package."
What is Debt Ceiling?
Debt ceiling is a cap set by Congress on the amount of debt the federal government can legally borrow. The cap applies to debt owed to the public plus debt owed to federal government trust funds such as those for Social Security and Medicare.
The first limit was set in 1917 and set at $11.5 billion, according to the Center for a Responsible Federal Budget. Previously, Congress had to sign off every time the federal government issued debt.

Know your couple type to transform your relationship!

London, August 1 (ANI): Do you and your partner often find yourself in the middle of blazing rows? Turns out, you are the 'Cat and Dog' couple type.
Psychologists say identifying the type of couple type we are - or would like to be - holds the key to a happy relationship and being able to understand our own needs and those of our partner, reports the Daily Mail.
Experts have identified six different 'couple types' that we all fall into.
One is the 'Cat and Dog' type. As the name suggests, this couple fight constantly, in private and in public.
This kind of couple may be attracted to one another because they enjoy the cycle of fight and make up (often accompanied by passionate sex).
The second type is called the pursuer/distancer couple, in which one partner is in pursuit of the other, trying to secure their attention and affection.
"One pretends they don't want to know and the other enjoys the thrill of the chase," says relationship psychologist Susan Quilliam.
"Often, couples take it in turns to play the pursuer or distancer. Whenever one senses the other is losing interest, they will switch.
The third type of couple is the 'Parent and child', wherein one feels responsible for nurturing the other, who they regard as less capable.
"The parent partner is attracted because they feel that in caring for this person, they have found a purpose in life," says Quilliam.
"The child partner may lack self-esteem or be a supreme coper who wants a break," she added. (ANI)

Biggest-ever series of cyber attacks uncovered, U.N. hit

BOSTON (Reuters) - Security experts have discovered the biggest series of cyber attacks to date, involving the infiltration of the networks of 72 organizations including the United Nations , governments and companies around the world.
Security company McAfee, which uncovered the intrusions, said it believed there was one "state actor" behind the attacks but declined to name it, though one security expert who has been briefed on the hacking said the evidence points to China.
The long list of victims in the five-year campaign include the governments of the United States, Taiwan, India, South Korea , Vietnam and Canada; the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN); the International Olympic Committee (IOC); the World Anti-Doping Agency; and an array of companies, from defense contractors to high-tech enterprises.
In the case of the United Nations , the hackers broke into the computer system of the UN Secretariat in Geneva in 2008, hid there unnoticed for nearly two years, and quietly combed through reams of secret data, according to McAfee.
"Even we were surprised by the enormous diversity of the victim organizations and were taken aback by the audacity of the perpetrators," McAfee's vice president of threat research, Dmitri Alperovitch, wrote in a 14-page report released on Wednesday.
"What is happening to all this data ... is still largely an open question. However, if even a fraction of it is used to build better competing products or beat a competitor at a key negotiation (due to having stolen the other team's playbook), the loss represents a massive economic threat."
McAfee learned of the extent of the hacking campaign in March this year, when its researchers discovered logs of the attacks while reviewing the contents of a "command and control" server that they had discovered in 2009 as part of an investigation into security breaches at defense companies.
