Malaysia bans women sex book

Malaysia bans women sex book

MALAYSIAN authorities plan to ban a book about sex published by a group of Muslim women who call themselves the Obedient Wives Club and advocate subservience to husbands, an official said yesterday.

The Malay-language book, entitled "Islamic Sex," is not available at stores but is believed to have been read by hundreds of members of the club formed this year by a small Malaysian Islamic sect that practices polygamy.

The book contains no explicit photographs but was written by the club's 56-year-old founder to describe her experiences and opinions on marriage. It has passages on how couples should approach sex physically and spiritually, claiming most women satisfy only 10 percent of their husbands' sexual needs.,Video capture cards,

Conjoined twins have key surgery

Conjoined twins have key surgery

SURGERY began yesterday morning in northern California, United States, to separate Philippines-born twin girls joined at the chest and abdomen.

The complex procedure to separate Angelina and Angelica Sabuco, of San Jose, got under way at Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital around 6:30am local time yesterday.

If all goes according to plan, the 2-year-olds will be out of surgery by mid-afternoon, said hospital spokeswoman Reena Mukamal.

The operation will involve cutting along the girls' skin and muscle and separating their diaphragms and livers. Severing the liver will be the riskiest part of the procedure because of potential blood loss, said Dr Gary Hartman, the lead surgeon.

Hartman, who has done five separation procedures at medical centers around the US, said he expects the operation to go well.

Keeping the girls joined carries bigger risks for their health,,Ronaldo soccer jersey, doctors said. If one conjoined twin dies, the other will die within hours. Muscular and skeletal deformities can also worsen with time.

"We want them to live normally," said Ginady Sabuco, the girls' mother. "When they argue, they can be alone. When they play, they can play together or apart. When they don't want to see each other, they won't have to."

Angelica and Angelina are classified as thoraco-omphalopagus - joined at the chest and abdomen. Their livers, diaphragms, breastbones, chest and abdominal wall muscles are fused. They have separate hearts, brains, kidneys, stomachs and intestines.

The children will not likely need intense physical therapy following surgery but may experience regression with some milestones they've already hit, Hartman said. The girls can walk now despite their face-to-face orientation but may lose that ability, for example, for a few weeks while they recover. They were likely to be hospitalized for two to three weeks.

Angelina and Angelica live in San Jose, California, with their parents and 10-year-old brother.

The occurrence of conjoined twins is estimated to range from 1 in 50,000 births to 1 in 100,000 births worldwide, and the overall survival rate is approximately 25 percent, according to the hospital.

Import approval for struggling Tactix won't set preceden

Netball: Import approval for struggling Tactix won't set precedent, netball board says

Netball bosses have emphasised the decision to grant Canterbury Tactix special dispensation to sign a second import is a one-off solution to a unique problem and does not set a precedent.

The ANZ Championship board yesterday approved an application from the Tactix to sign a second ineligible player with English shooter Jo Harten.

With no provision in the rules to do so, the board have agreed to make an exception in recognition of the extraordinary circumstances faced by the Christchurch-based team over the last few months, after the devastating earthquake of February 22.

While they empathise with the difficulties the Tactix face, several franchises are said to be uncomfortable with the league making exceptions, saying it creates a precedent.Nfl bears jersreys cheap

However New Zealand Netball Players Association manager Tim Lythe is confident the league's actions have not created any loopholes.

"It was quite an extraordinary event that caused the disruption and I don't think any team can argue they face similar challenges," said Lythe.

New Tactix coach Leigh Gibbs said it was a relief to get the green light to sign a second import. It is believed the Canterbury side have been in talks with three potential imports, but Gibbs denied they had a player lined up.

It is believed English defender Ama Agbeze is the frontrunner for the second spot given her previous experience in the league,Human hair Full lace wigs with young England stars Stacey Francis and Serena Guthrie the other options.

America raises recession alarm as London escapes early freefall

America raises recession alarm as London escapes early freefall

The US Federal Reserve promised to keep interest rates in the world's largest economy at rock-bottom levels well into 2013, in a signal that it is increasingly worried about a double-dip recession.


The central bank's declaration cheered investors who had been selling stocks relentlessly for the best part of a week, fearful that policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic have run out of ammunition to stimulate faltering economies. A big rally on Wall Street was the result, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average of US shares recovering 430 of the 635 points it lost in the previous session.

The Fed has held official US interest rates at zero since December 2008, but yesterday was the first time it has set a timeline for keeping monetary policy that easy, and it had immediate effects across the financial markets. Interest rates on some US government bonds, whose rise and fall is reflected in borrowing costs for millions of American homebuyers and businesses, crashed to never-before-seen lows.

"Downside risks to the economic outlook have increased," the Fed conceded last night, justifying its move, which came after a fractious meeting of its interest rate-setting committee. Three of the ten members dissented.

Traders expect the newfound optimism in the US to radiate to other world stock markets this morning, even if no one was making predictions on how long it might last. Days of selling pressure has pushed some markets down almost 20 per cent from their recent peaks – a decline that would qualify as a "bear market".

professional public hearing attendee

Unfortunately, a long period has passed since media reported the "professional public hearing attendee," and no related department has actively responded to it.

The public hearing is an important link for discussing the necessity and feasibility of a price adjustment and also a key link for consumers and businessmen to safeguard their own interests. No matter whether it is the price of water price, parking, phone bills or heating, public hearings on price are closely connected with public interests. In an "interest-sensitive" era, the public will definitely not ignore their own rights and interests, and a public hearing ought to attract wide attention and great participation.

Information is asymmetrical; technical terms always produce a lot of obstacles; industrial costs can never be clear; procedures are defective; speeches, which last only a few minutes cannot make a speaker fully express his/her view, the veto power of the consumers cannot been fully respected. A public hearing like that could definitely not be the platform for the public to safeguard their interests. Such a hearing is a "price-rising meeting" or even a "price-rising declaration meeting." If the public does not have enough rights to know, participate, speak and supervise, the public hearing will be disconnected with the public interests. And then, how can they be interested in it?

In recent years, the fact that "the price will rise after every public hearing" once attracted a lot of attention and a case that the price declined after a public hearing once surprisingly became a focal point. Besides, about 90 percent of the representatives in a water price hearing held in Beijing once voted for raising the price, and the statuses of the representatives in a water price public hearing held in Harbin once were suspected. All these things could reflect the weakened effectiveness of the public hearing system. If the original intention of "raising the democratic level, scientific level and openness of the government in price setting" cannot be realized, the credibility of the system will be compromised. Without the foundation of the masses, the public hearing will change from an interest-safeguarding platform into a meaningless empty show.

pools and watermelon

Detroit and other communities also have set up cooling centers so people can escape the heat. Detroit Public schools officials have closed 102 schools and two adult education buildings today because of the heat and humidity predictions.

The Detroit Zoo is letting visitors into air-conditioned attractions for free through Sunday. The attractions usually require an additional admission fee to visit. Animals will receive icy treats, cool showers, pools and watermelon.

To help avoid losing power, Austerberry recommends people close their blinds and keep their air conditioning running — but at a temperature higher than usual.

"Boost the thermostat up to 80 degrees or as comfortable as they can stand it," he said.

Turning the air conditioning off and on could require more power because the humidity is difficult to alleviate.

Any elderly people without power should seek facilities with cooler air such as a library, mall or a nearby cooling center, Austerberry said.

An excessive heat warning was to end at 10 p.m. tonight, and there won't be much of a break through the weekend as temperatures are expected to hit highs at or near 90 Friday through Sunday.

Temperatures are expected to drop into the mid to high 80s on Monday.
