CNN is no longer 'connecting'

CNN continued what has become a precipitous decline in ratings not only in the USA, but internationally. There was a time that the channel to go to for news, was CNN - but, now, that is no more.  No longer is Cable News Network that interesting and attractive to watch; no longer do many viewers turn to CNN for 'news'. It is losing viewers. Fast.

For the love of Football

Next Friday - the biggest, most spectacular and most watched sporting event on Earth: the World Cup, kicks off. Except for North America and the Indian Sub-continent, football or soccer to be more precise, is loved by almost all peoples of the World. The people of Hadhramaut are no exception: of all sporting activities, soccer is the most loved, most played and most watched here. The lack of proper soccer playing facilities; the heat and the ruggedness of the fields have not deterred the many children and young men from soccer. Here in Mukalla, in the evenings before sunset, and sometimes even in the early mornings - on every empty, suitable land; many times, even on roads, streets and pavements - children and young men can be seen playing football.
