Tamils taking away from legit immigrants
I'm confused in regards to the Tamil refugees. With a little research I have learned that the following countries accept refugees: Australia, Pakistan, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Sweden and the UK. I'm sure there are far more than this.

The prince of fashion died poor
The names of the inventors of the light bulb and the telephone come to mind very easily - Edison and Bell. Other world-shaking inventions have inventors a little more obscure - far too many people don't know that Nikola Tesla invented alternating current, without which you wouldn't have power in your home - and some are downright forgotten.

You probably haven't heard about Mary Schaffer ... I know I hadn't. But while on a trip to Jasper recently with my sister Johanne Enemark, I learned a lot about this fearless and adventurous pioneering woman. Schaffer was raised in Philadelphia's high society, and yet in 1891 she left it all behind to explore the unknown wilds of the Canadian Rockies.
