Sexual Violence Against Women A War Weapon
BARCELONA, Spain (UPI) -- Sexual violence against women was used as a weapon of war in most armed conflicts in 2009, researchers in Spain said.
Researchers at the School for a Culture of Peace of Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona said their report includes a Human Rights Index that measures the level of non-compliance of states -- including Myanmar, Sudan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Thailand, Russia, Somalia and India -- in their obligation to protect human rights.
The ninth annual edition of Alerta 2010! examined the 31 armed conflicts registered in 2009 -- including 14 in Asia and 10 in Africa.
The report said violence against women was a constant in all armed conflicts and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, sexual violence reached chronic stages.
In addition, armed forces personnel in countries such as Colombia, Myanmar and the United States used sexual violence against women, the report said.
The report said most peace processes have ignored sexual violence against women.

Joke - The Marine
A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call out from behind a sand dune saying, "One Marine is better than ten Taliban."
The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.
The voice then calls out, "One Marine is better than a hundred Taliban soldiers."
Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge gun fight commences.. After 10 minutes of battle, again silence.
The Marine voice calls out, "One Marine is better than one thousand Taliban."
The enraged Taliban commander musters a thousand fighters and sends them over the dune. Cannon, rocket, and machine gun fire rings out as a huge battle is fought..
Then silence. Finally one wounded Taliban fighter crawls back over the dune and with his dying words tells his commander, "Don't send any more men, it's a trap. There are two of them."

Cook Your Puny Brain With iPhone!
tawkon monitors and analyzes your mobile phone radiation so you can “talk on” as usual and receive smart prompts to avoid radiation just when you need to. tawkon achieves this with RRI™ (Real-time Radiation Indication) patent-pending technology that collects and analyzes your phone’s dynamic SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) levels, location, environmental conditions and phone usage at any given moment. RRI leverages iPhone’s unique capabilities including GPS, accelerometer and proximity sensors to help minimize radiation exposure.
Tawkon measures the radiation spewing from your iPhone. Is there any wonder why Apple doesn’t approve of it?
Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, that’s where Israeli hardware and software engineering prowess come into play (more on that in a second). Sadly, Israeli military training may have met its match . . . the infamous iPhone App Store approval process."

Malaysian gals: Eeeeee!!! They look like char kway teow men!!!
Me: Yea, perhaps you've been buying char kway teow from their fathers in $in-gapore all this while. Lol.
$in-gaporean: So, how har, how har? Nice anot (or not) har? Hehe!
