Radio broadcaster, DJ Mona-Lisa informs parents and guardians of lesbianism in high schools and how it may affect their children. The topic is of utmost importance as so many teenagers have committed suicide base on the outcome of this type of relationship. On the other hand, some students drop out of school due to peer pressures and lesbian relationships gone bad. Parents need to be informed about this subject in order to create safe environments for their teens-thus helping to ensure their mental health and well-being which is of significant importance to truly embark on the journey of life successfully: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=633_EHksqhMRadio broadcaster, DJ Mona-Lisa informs parents and guardians of lesbianism in high... more

Latest research by Kantar Worldpanel ComTech US has found that women account for 54 per cent of the smartphone buyers, and a cool 24 per cent of them are typically young ones. The research has also found that a higher proportion of ‘wannabes’ are also students – accounting for 15% – as compared with 8% of current smartphone buyers.
So, that means a new generation of tech-aspiring Americans holds the key to the smartphones market. They could even push up sales of the smart handsets in the whole of US.
What can be seen as an interesting observation is that men under 34 years of age – who may be considered the early adopters – are now not a priority for smartphone makers whatsoever. This group of customers currently account for just 17 per cent of smart phone purchases, as against the 28 per cent during early 2010.
It is being seen that smartphone providers are forced to look beyond these early adopters and focus more on new audiences in a scenario where competition among companies is buoyant. For instance, Apple and BlackBerry have been dominant forces till recently and they continue in that vein even now.
Smartphone Sales in the US Seen Driven by Young, Female ‘Wannabe’ ConsumersHowever, brands of the likes of HTC and Samsung have accelerated ahead in the smartphone terrain. A look at the statistics will make it clear that while HTC grew their market share from 12 per cent to 19 per cent, Samsung saw their share rise from 4 per cent to 16 per cent since the beginning of 2010. There isn’t any doubt that the smartphone market is vibrant and skyrocketing.
The research has also found that 26% of consumers in the US are smartphone owners. Companies across the board have also sold a staggering 8.5 million devices during the latest quarter.
The ‘wannabes’ are the ones the phone makers now want to target, with most of the aspiring women and students not currently owning a smartphone but are looking forward to flaunt one. These ‘wannabes’, while being less concerned with the advanced features now offered, look more at the price factor. A 74 per cent of currently are willing to spend less than $90 on a handset.
That also means that the phone makers are also looking at pushing to their midst devices that offer touchscreen and a QWERTY keyboard, but without the most advanced functions that come with the high end devices.
Cost-consciousness seems to be growing. Look at how Apple has started making things move their way. Apple has given in to ‘wannabe’ demand by cutting down the price of its 3GS iPhone model on AT&T.Latest research by Kantar Worldpanel ComTech US has found that women account for 54... more

Women are the answer to fixing our economy, and everything else. Look what women did in WWII for example, the modern woman is more advanced than that and smarter in some ways that we men are not. So hey break the glass ceiling and show the Old Boy's Network what you can do. I and other men will work with you to fix things, those of us who did not die yet in an unjust war, of an illness, of suicide, or some other way. Women outnumber men now, so take the lead ladies. We men had more than enough time to be in charge and fix things, let's see what women can do.Women are the answer to fixing our economy, and everything else. Look what women did... more

Sex trafficking simultaneously exploits both the best and the worst aspects of globalization. The champions of globalization tout the growing ease of conducting business across national borders. Sophisticated communication tools and relaxed banking laws make it possible to exchange assets internationally with ease. Virtual enterprises can operate everywhere and nowhere, making themselves known only when and where they choose.
Organized crime syndicates take advantage of these tools to create more efficient overseas networks. Although most trafficking originates with local operators, they deftly connect to an international sex industry looking to fill slots in brothels, massage parlors, strip joints, and lap dance bars.
A club owner in Chicago can pick up the phone and “mail-order” three beautiful young girls from eastern Europe. Two weeks later a fresh shipment of three Slavic girls will be dancing in his club. Though a number of quasi-independent traffickers were likely involved in moving the girls, the operation would appear seamless to the Chicago client.
The critics of globalization point out that capital flows wherever it can most easily exploit cheap labor. The owners of capital will abandon a specific location quickly once one of two conditions occurs: (1) the assets it exploits are depleted, or (2) those assets can be obtained more cheaply in other markets.
Sex trafficking also manifests itself in this form. Over the past three decades, the prime area for recruiting sex slaves has shifted rapidly from one zone of economic depression to another. In the 1970s, traffickers targeted girls from Southeast Asia “above all Thailand and Vietnam” as well as the Philippines. After ten years or so of mining in Asia, traffickers shifted their focus to African girls from Nigeria, Uganda, and Ghana flooded the international sex bazaars. In the mid-1980s and spilling over into the early 1990s, Latin American girls from Brazil, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Central America (especially El Salvador and Guatemala) became the favored pool.
Traffickers move opportunistically to prey on vulnerable populations. In the 1980s, the trafficking of girls out of eastern Europe hardly registered on the radar screen. Following the economic and political collapse of the Soviet Union, that situation changed dramatically. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that roughly a quarter of a million females were trafficked within Europe alone “from East to West” since 1991.
Even within eastern Europe, the prime recruitment zones for trafficking shift rapidly to exploit opportunities. In 1992, the vast majority of trafficked victims came from Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. By the mid-1990s girls in those markets had been depleted, so traffickers started targeting Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Moldova. After the turn of the century, the prime recruitment zone shifted to central Asia “Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan” and Georgia.
Wherever the greatest profit can be extracted, there the traffickers move. In an impassioned speech delivered in Brussels, European commissioner Anna Diamantopoulou aptly characterized the “ruthless efficiency” of these modern-day traders in human property:
“They know their business inside out and respond to changes in the market with a speed unmatched by even the most competitive corporations. Their expertise and ability to exploit the market are surpassed only by their disregard for human life. Women are bought, sold and hired out like any other product. The bottom line is profit.”
Children Are Not Prostitutes
Young boys and girls in every city on the globe today are forced to serve as sex slaves. Sex traffickers target twelve- to seventeen-year-old children as their choice candidates. The johns who pay regular visits to brothels prefer adolescents above any other age group. Looked at from the cold perspective of a slaveholder, adolescents also have a longer shelf life. Any older and they start to lose their youthful appeal. Any younger and they may draw the attention of law enforcement authorities.
Because sex trafficking masks itself as prostitution, the general public does not feel outraged. The children are perceived to be criminals or sexual deviants or at best victims of their environment: desperate for survival, the kids “choose” to sell their bodies for profit.
The real criminals hide in the shadows. An illicit network of traffickers, pimps, recruiters, brothel owners, and johns preys on vulnerable kids and forces them into a life of sexual commerce. Once the inner workings of that criminal network are exposed, common sense prevails. Of course a child would not volunteer for the repeated trauma of ten (or more) grown men penetrating their bodies every evening. We have a word for exploiting minors that way: rape.
It should be noted that the same mechanisms of financial bondage and violent intimidation that enslave children are practiced on females of all ages. Adult “prostitutes” too can recount shocking testimonies of pimps locking them in closets, flogging them with coat hangers, and forcing them to service a staggering number of clients. The pimps quite explicitly refer to these women as “my property” and will attack anyone who acts to compromise their control.

It's no surprise that female office workers hate derogatory pet names given to them by some colleagues, but do you know the ones they most despise?
A survey of over 2,500 women found 'babe' was the name they hated being called most, followed by 'love,' 'hun' and 'mate.'
Other disliked pet names - which three quarters of the women polled said they found unacceptable - included; 'chick,' 'Kiddo,' 'Darlin' and 'Poppet'
It also emerged that 93 per cent of women have been called a pet name either by the boss or a male colleague and that 21 percent said it made them feel angry.
But that is nothing… you should hear some of the names the same female office workers reserve for their male bosses.
A spokesman for onepoll.com, which carried out the study, said: ''Women clearly find these pet names patronising and unnecessary.
"Perhaps it is time for guys to take a bit of a reality check and realise that time has moved on.
"Many of them are cringe-worthy and dated, for example it is hardly surprising that a woman is going to feel very uncomfortable when a boss in his 50s calls her 'babe' or 'poppet'."
Top 10 hated pet names for female office workers
1. Babe
2.

3. Hun
4. Mate

In response to Esquire's list of albums every man should own, the bloggers over at Bitch Buzz compiled a list for us ladies. "It would celebrate female talent. It would celebrate female taste. It would acknowledge the mainstream and the eclectic. It would be include albums to dance to, to cry to, to….y’know to. It would be the music that is the soundtrack to our lives, that we actually listen to and that we think is good." I must say I think they did a much better job than the guys at Esquire. Bitch Buzz's list includes recent albums, which was something I thought the Esquire list lacked. What do you think? Did they nail it or is there something missing?In response to Esquire's list of albums every man should own, the bloggers over... more

Dutch lab researches what people eat and how to influence habits
WAGENINGEN, Netherlands - At the university cafeteria, women linger longer than men over their lunch decisions. Given a choice, they tend to opt for meat labeled "animal friendly," while men likely will go for a new product.
Cameras are watching them. From inside a control room, monitors record the customers' movements, hesitations, facial expressions, posture, weight, even their eating habits.
It gives the scientists plenty to chew over. They study the influences on eating, how products can be made more appealing, and how to direct consumers to specific — perhaps healthier — choices.
