Until next year ...

When I put a notice on this blog informing readers that Dec 13, would be the last day of publication for the year, I wondered if Friday 13th was a suitable day to finish! It turns out my concern was justified!

I had just posted the last article of the day, when - woosh! Articles for the last three days, including today, had vanished! My apologies to those of you visiting the blog to read articles posted during that period.

Now for something more positive. The blog will resume Jan 14, 2014 - hopefully glitch free!

Thank you for all your support during the year, it has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated.

Thanks also to the media organizations and journalists for their hard work and excellent content. It is they who do all the work. They who face the danger.

Until we meet again next year....

 Wherever you may be, may you and your loved ones be safe
