OVER the past few weeks, I’ve had people at speaking engagements ask me if I thought the Islamic State (IS) or some other militant group is using Ebola as a biological weapon, or if such a group could do so in the future. Such questions and concerns are not surprising given the intense media hype that surrounds the disease, even though only one person has died from Ebola out of the three confirmed cases in the United States. The media hype about the threat posed by the IS to the US and the West is almost as bad. Both subjects of all this hype were combined into a tidy package on October 20, when the Washington Post published an editorial by columnist Mark Thiessen in which he claimed it would be easy for a group such as the IS to use Ebola in a terrorist attack. Despite Thiessen’s claims, using Ebola as a biological warfare agent is much more difficult than it might appear at first blush.

PINTEREST is one of the hottest social-media platforms out there, whether you’re a publisher or just an enthusiast.

Kids and adults love the scary and cute designs, also the color palette is quite different. “Creepy” cakes are also what people like to buy. These usually become the centerpiece of their Halloween party. Pinoys really love their sweets.
