The force that through the green fuse drives the flower / Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees / Is my destroyer. / And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose / My youth is bent by the same wintry fever¡¦.by Dylan Thomas

In December 1950, some 100,000 UN troops were trapped in the North Korean port of Hungnam. They had been overwhelmed by Chinese forces in what became known as the Battle of Chosin, and were lucky to make it out of the mountains alive.
They had faced an army ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß almost four times their size. But now there was only one way to get to safety. By sea. And they had very little time to do it: the Chinese were closing in.
Around 100 US ships, including À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ the SS Meredith Victory, had sailed to Hungnam to pick up the troops, supplies and ammunition and take them to the South Korean ports of Busan and Geoje Island.
Rescuing refugees had never been part of the plan.
Colonel Edward Forney of the US Marine Corps worked with others to try to make it part of the mission. His grandson Ned lives õ¾È¿ø·ë¸Å¸Å in Seoul.
"If you want to win a war - your job is not to rescue civilians," Ned, a marine veteran, tells me. "It's a nice thing to do. But the military does come first."

She added that the university was the first in the country to offer such a course which would teach doctors about "the Ayurvedic remedies to treat ghost-related ailments".
According to a 2016 study by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience (Nimhans), nearly 14% of Indians are ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô ·¹Çø®Ä« mentally ill. And in 2017, the WHO estimated that 20% of Indians might suffer from depression at some point in their lives.
But there are less than 4,000 mental health professionals in the country of 1.3 billion people and there is little awareness ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä« about these issues.
Also, because of widespread social stigma, few seek for professional help or care and many Indians, especially in rural and poorer areas, visit shamans and witch-doctors in the hope that they will help cure their mental illnesses.
The news that the government-run õ¾È¿ø·ë¸Å¸Å BHU will be starting a course in Bhoot Vidya has been questioned on social media by some who pointed out that medicine and rehab were more appropriate methods to deal with mental health issues:

The edited film was shown by CBC earlier this month, prompting criticism from Mr Trump's supporters.
His son Donald Trump Jr tweeted a link ³²¼º¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=³²¼º¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä« to a story on Thursday that called the edit 'pathetic'.
President Trump reacted late on Thursday, tweeting that "the movie will never be the same! (just kidding)".
In a reference to Canadian Prime ÀÌÅ¿øºÎµ¿»ê Minister Justin Trudeau, and well-documented disagreements between the two leaders on major policy issues, Mr Trump also quipped: "I guess Justin T doesn't much like my making him pay up on Nato or trade!"

On Christmas Eve, Mr Trump described Home Alone 2, which was released in 1992, as "a big Christmas hit" during a video conference call to US troops overseas, according to Deadline website.
"But it's been a good ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«Ãßõ=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«Ãßõ movie and I was a little younger, to put it mildly. And it was an honour to do it."
Mr Trump has made a number of cameo appearances in films, including Zoolander and Ghosts Can't Do It.
In Home Alone 2's uncut version, he is briefly °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß seen in a scene at New York's Plaza Hotel, when Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin asks him for directions. Mr Trump was the hotel's owner at the time.

Almost 70 years ago, a US merchant marine ship picked up more than 14,000 refugees in a single trip from a North Korean port. This is the story of that journey, and some of those on board.
It was Christmas Day ·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä«=·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä« in 1950, and this was no ordinary birth.
The mother was one of 14,000 North Korean refugees crammed into a US merchant marine ship, fleeing the advancing guns of ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«Ä¿½ºÅÒ±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«Ä¿½ºÅÒ±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ the Chinese army.
"The midwife had to use her teeth to cut my umbilical cord," Lee Gyong-pil tells me some 69 years on. "People said the fact that I didn't die and was born was a Christmas miracle."
Mr Lee was the fifth baby born on the SS Meredith Victory that winter, during some of the darkest days of the Korean War.
The Meredith Victory's three-day voyage ´ä·Ê¶± saved thousands of lives, including the parents of the current President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in.
It also earned the cargo freighter a nickname - the Ship of Miracles.

Since then they have travelled to other parts of the country, often marching through areas controlled by the Taliban. Their walks have attracted a lot of local support as well as international attention.
A spokesman for the Taliban said the group was behind the attack, which happened two days after another attack on a military checkpoint in the same province killed seven soldiers.
Tens of thousands of Afghan civilians and members °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß of the security forces, and more than 3,000 international military personnel, have been killed in fighting since the war in the country began in 2001.

A neighbour of the family told the PA news agency she was "really devastated" to learn of the deaths, describing the Diyas as "very religious, very friendly, very humble".
Speaking outside ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è=·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è her home in Charlton, Lara Akins, 59, added: "I still can't comprehend it, it's still shocking.
"They are so nice, that is why everybody ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß is shocked... we are very friendly with each other."
The hotel owners described the incident as a "tragic accident".
Because the pool is a very small one, lifeguards were "not necessary" so there were none present, a spokesman for the Spanish Civil Guard told the BBC.
The UK Foreign Office said it was supporting a British woman in Spain, thought to be the children's mother.
Mr Diya and his daughter were both British ´ä·Ê¶± passport holders while his son had an American passport.
