 Thousands
were murdered or exiled from their homes along the Istrian
peninsula by the communists of Josip Broz Tito's Yugoslav
partisans between 1943 and 1947, most of whom were cast into
the foibe, a narrow ravine on the Carso plateau, behind
Trieste and Istria. Historical accounts suggest that the
women were raped first and often tossed into the foibe while
still alive. It was a horrific period in Italy's history
that many have tried to cover up, hide, and deny. More |

 Kidnapping
is a terrifying experience that can happen to anyone,
anywhere. In the US, around 2,300 children go missing daily,
making kidnapping an alarming form of disappearance.
Kidnapping rates vary across states, including those of
strangers and familial kidnappings. Motives range from
criminal intent to political reasons or personal vendettas.
That said, protecting your family and loved ones is of
utmost importance. Kidnapping is a serious global crime that
affects both children and adults.

 Like
many human beliefs, the fear of Friday the 13th (known as
paraskevidekatriaphobia) isn't exactly grounded in scientific
logic. You may not take drastic safety precautions every Friday
the 13th, but are you totally immune to the superstition? Given
the choice, would you get married, start a new job or close on a
house on Friday the 13th? Most Americans wouldn't, even though
they don't put much stock in the irrational fear. Some hotels
don't have a room 13, and many buildings lack a 13th floor.
