These phrases are especially useful when you're offered food. If pronunciation is difficult for you, just say you will enjoy the food and thank the person offering the food in English. After the meal, don't forget to say that the food was delicious. Koreans will appreciate your effort to express your gratitude.  - Always wash your hands before eating. This step is important to Koreans, so most restaurants will bring wet tissues to the table at the beginning of the meal. Use the wet tissues to wipe your hands before digging in.

However, post the ‘00s, Salman's career took a massive hit and by the mid-'00s, he was delivering one flop after the other.

PERHAPS taking the cue from dictatorial former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Prime Minister (PM) Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has so far shied away from taking civil action against the long list of publicly-known suspects in the bitter battle raging in Malaysia on corruption. Thus far, former PM and Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin heads the list of top leaders facing corruption charges. It's not known whether Dr Mahathir and family - and former finance minister and multi-billionaire Tun Daim Zainuddin - are on a separate list to face civil action.

NEW YORK (AP) — Tensions between public officials and the press are hardly unusual. To a large extent, it's baked into their respective roles. What's rare in a democratic society is a police raid on a news organization's office or the home of its owner. So when that happened late last week, it attracted the sort of national attention that the town of Marion, Kansas, is hardly used to. The Marion Police Department took computers and cellphones from the office of the Marion County Record newspaper on Friday, and also entered the home of Eric Meyer, publisher and editor.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Cases of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cancers of the head and neck, known as head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), are rapidly increasing throughout the United States. Unfortunately, relatively little is known about the factors that contribute to these tumors and what makes some tumors more aggressive and treatment-resistant than others. To determine why some patients respond better to radiation therapy than others, researchers in UNC School of Medicine's Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery and the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center formed a robust collaboration with researchers at Yale Cancer Center , the Yale Head and Neck Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE), and the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN).
