re: UK TV documentary 18/5/2007, Dispatches, on Channel 4... detailing plight of girls / women in Afghanistan... for example: girls as young as 7 sold into marriage, kept house-bound, beaten by husband, mother-in-law, not allowed to be educated, they cook, clean, sew (are forced to remain ignorant to suit the men)... one woman every 28 minutes dying in child-birth, their husband decides if / when they need medical help... result: ruptured uterus... once girl has died, the village forget all about her... so system carries on.
The poor girls / women are using kerosene to set fire to themselves... to show that in life they suffered... if they live, in pain as few drugs...

Things worse in Afghanistan now since the allies war... the huge sums for reconstruction have disappeared - gone to the rich, not the poor...

Surely, there must be some way other women can reach these women, to let them know we care, we support their wish for greater freedom/s, for education, for more equality...

I signed up for this MS bike tour, its 2 days 75 miles each day. Its not until September, so I have time to train. Its for a good cause, so I want to do it but I'm not an experienced bike rider, in fact I don't even own one! Can anyone give me advice as to what kind of bike I should get? Any training advice would appreciated too!

The interviewer told me I'd hear from him at the end of the month. I've already sent the customary follow up after my interview, but should I send another one in the interim, I feel like he forgot about me.

If you dont, you should. If you do, who is your favorite character, and why. What do you think will happen in the later episodes, I missed 2 weeks of the show, and I gotta catch up, but anything you wanna say about Heroes, say it right here. It may be the greatest show on TV!

It happens randomly and I run ccleaner, adaware, AVG scan every morning and McAfee. I have firewalls also. Why does this happen and how can I stop it? Once it starts, the only way to stop it is to shut down the computer from the back (hard shutdown).

How do the people living in the Oregon coast pay their bills when there are very few jobs there?

I would really love to move to the Oregon coast but it seems to me that all the jobs are in Portland, Beaverton, Salem, and Eugene. Is this impossible?

hey im on a kind of diet meaning like a non serious one at all but i am eating more healthy than i would normally do. I also havent eaten since the day before yesterday due to the flu (would never normally go this long without eating) but my tummy just can't handle food at the moment as im feeling so rough D=. I am slowly getting down to the size i want *size 8* as i am a now size 10 loads of people will say a size 10 is skinny but even thoe the jeans will be baggy around my tummy my FAT hips will go slightly over the top of my jeans because they are so flabby, How can i reduce the size of the fat around my hips, if it means reducing the size around my belly as well i dont mind but would prefer just reducing my hip size. any suggestions THANKS alot
when i pull the flab back i still have curves and there is no fat on my hips which is the look i want, then i let go and the dreaded flab returns and its horrible =[

Hi, my breasts are kind of large for the size of my body and I find them a bit uncomfy. I enjoy doing sports but they end up getting in the way, even if I wear a good sports bra. I was wondering, does anyone know about any natural methods for reducing breast size? I don't want to have surgery. Thanks for your time.

When you are breast feeding and your baby is willing to take expressed milk from a bottle, how long will the breast milk keep in the fridge? Is it possible to freeze the milk to make it keep longer and then warm the bottle as you normally would in a jug of hot water?

I hope this makes sense?

I am planning to breastfeed.

Thank you.

Two charges Q1 and Q2 of equal magnitude but opposite signs are fixed a distance 4.00 m apart in a vacuum The line PQ is a 10.0 cm section of the line joining the two charges and is placed centrally between them. Over the distance PQ the electric field may be taken to be uniform. An electron is released, with negligible initial speed, from point P at time t = 0. At t = 1.50 × 10−2 s the electron is observed to pass point Q. Determine the magnitude and sign of both Q1 and Q2.m
