A car in Cambodia operated by ... telepathy???

THE gold-coloured convertible turns heads on impoverished Cambodia's roads - not least because of creator Nhean Phaloek's outlandish claim that it can be operated telepathically.

'I just snap my fingers and the car's door will open. Or I just think of opening the car's door, and the door opens immediately,' says the 51-year-old as he proudly shows off the homemade car, named the Angkor 333-2010.

Onlookers gasp as he demonstrates the trick, and with the fibre-glass vehicle having cost him 5,000 dollars and 19 months of labour he is in no mood to reveal the remote control system behind it. More...

Why did the Swiss vote to ban minarets on mosques?

In Switzerland the soul-searching has begun following Sunday's nationwide referendum in which voters surprisingly backed a plan to ban the construction of minarets.

No-one can quite understand how a proposal widely regarded even by its supporters as destined for failure at the ballot box actually came to be passed.

That, however, according to political analysts, may have been part of the problem.

Opinion polls showing a majority of voters would reject a ban were only to be expected, says Zurich political scientist Michael Hermann, when most of the Swiss media had already categorised a ban on minarets as politically incorrect and its supporters stupid. More...

10,000 albinos in East Africa go into hiding to avoid being murdered for their body parts...

The mistaken belief that albino body parts have magical powers has driven thousands of Africa's albinos into hiding, fearful of losing their lives and limbs to unscrupulous dealers who can make up to $75,000 selling a complete dismembered set.

Mary Owido, who lacks pigment that gives color to skin, eyes and hair, says she is only comfortable when at work or at home with her husband and children.

"Wherever I go people start talking about me, saying that my legs and hands can fetch a fortune in Tanzania," said Owido, 36, a mother of six. "This kind of talk scares me. I am afraid of going out alone."

Since 2007, 44 albinos have been killed in Tanzania and 14 others have been slain in Burundi, sparking widespread fear among albinos in East Africa. More...

Young, educated and jobless in India...

In 2005 I spent time with a student named Rajesh in Meerut College, in Uttar Pradesh. Rajesh was in his early 30s and had been studying in Meerut for 13 years. Like many long-time students there, he described himself as "unemployed", someone "just waiting".

There are many like Rajesh in Meerut and across northern India. Behind the image of tech-savvy IT specialists in India lies a dispiriting picture common throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America: a multitude of educated but unemployed young men. More...

A man who lived for a year without spending any money said today that it has been the happiest time of his life and he intends to continue.

Mark Boyle, 30, has lived for the past 12 months as a true 'freeconomist', leading a self-sufficient lifestyle in a caravan in Timsbury, near Bath, growing his own food and reusing junk that people have thrown away.

He says he has not spent a penny and has become a happier person, and today pledged to continue living without cash.

He cycles everywhere, his phone only takes incoming calls, he has solar-powered showers and cleans his teeth with toothpaste made from washed-up cuttlefish bones. More...

More and more are awakening to globing warming scam...

On December 7, about 20,000 of their modern equivalents are off to Copenhagen for the UN Climate Change Conference. doom-mongering is so much more fun now, with junkets all over the world in top- class hotels at taxpayers’ expense. Growth in air travel is supposedly a big contributor to global warming, so how will they get to Copenhagen? You guessed it. Barack Obama will arrive in Air Force One with his bomb-proof, gas-guzzling limo in the hold. Considering the hysterical nonsense to be spewed out over 10 days, a hot-air balloon would be more appropriate.

The public was rightly outraged over the MPs’ expenses scandal but this is far worse. The junketing is but the tip of the iceberg compared with the vast costs about to be dumped on us by governments in thrall to global warming alarmists. last year Parliament passed a Climate Change Act which will cost every house- hold in Britain £720 a year until 2050. What for? To cut carbon dioxide emissions by 40 per cent: subsidising wind farms, removing CO2 from old power stations, etc. To pay these bills, new “green taxes” are promised even by the Tories, putting surcharges on air travel and up to £3,300 extra tax on new cars.

Swiss approve ban on minarets...

The Swiss have approved a ban on the construction of minarets, according to incomplete results of voting on Sunday.

The gfs.bern polling institute said an estimated 59 per cent of voters had backed the initiative. A majority of cantons were also in support of a minaret ban.

The result, if confirmed, comes as a major surprise and a slap in the face of the government. Opinion polls ahead of the vote had predicted the ban would be rejected by 53 per cent of the electorate. More...

Retired LA teacher is teaching again ... for free!!!

Five mornings a week, Bruce Kravets, 66, puts on a coat and tie, straps on his helmet and bikes to work at Palms Middle School on L.A.'s Westside, where he teaches math. For free.

Last June, after 42 years of teaching, Kravets retired. He'd put so much money into his retirement fund over the decades, his monthly compensation if he stepped down would be greater than his regular pay. But that didn't mean he was ready to abandon teaching. His plan was to stay on and teach for no salary, because he couldn't think of anything more fun or rewarding than teaching algebra, geometry, logic and stage craft.

A no-brainer, right? Kravets is, by all accounts, a truly gifted teacher, and in a district with a budget crisis, here was a guy who said, "Keep your money, I'll do it gratis." More...

Global warming: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation...

A week after my colleague James Delingpole, on his Telegraph blog, coined the term "Climategate" to describe the scandal revealed by the leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, Google was showing that the word now appears across the internet more than nine million times. But in all these acres of electronic coverage, one hugely relevant point about these thousands of documents has largely been missed.

The reason why even the Guardian's George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the documents is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated, What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Teen gang in Singapore put leash on braggart and walked him like a dog!!!

ANGRY that his older friend was bragging about being the 'biggest gangster' in Toa Payoh, a 14-year-old ganged up with three friends to tie a dog collar around the braggart's neck.

They then paraded him, crawling on all fours, along the corridor and even tied him to a pipe at the lift lobby. There, the group punched and kicked their victim. The 14-year-old also recorded the entire process on his mobile phone.

Yesterday, the Juvenile Court asked for a pre-sentencing on him, paving the way for the teenager to be placed on probation. As he and two of the other attackers are below 16 years of age and considered minors, no details that could lead to their identification can be published. More...

US Christian politicians behind Uganda's death for gays law?

The African nation of Uganda is weighing a bill that would impose the death penalty on HIV positive men who have committed what it calls "aggravated homosexuality."

As if that were not shocking enough, a U.S. author is claiming that a secretive group of American politicians appear to be a driving force in seeing the proposal become law.
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill 2009, heavily supported by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, was first read in October, triggering a wave of condemnation. According to the gay blog Queerty, Joann Lockard, public affairs officer at the Kampala, Uganda embassy, said the law would "constitute a significant step backwards for the protection of human rights in Uganda."

Libya barred from prestigious Davos (WEF) meeting in Switzerland...

The organisers of next year's meeting of the World Economic Forum (Wef) have barred Libya amid an ongoing diplomatic crisis with Switzerland.

No guests from Libya have been invited and will be invited to the annual conference of politicians and business leaders in Davos at the end of January, according to a senior Wef official.

"There won't be any participants from Libya as long as bilateral relations between Switzerland and Libya have not normalized," Kai Bucher said.

He added said the move was unusual and in contradiction with the policy of the Wef. More...

UK Scientist: 'Case for climate fears is blown to smithereens...

UK astrophysicist Piers Corbyn, of the long range solar forecast group Weather Action, declared that the ClimateGate revelations have rendered man-made global warming fears “false.”

“The case is blown to smithereens and this whole theory should be destroyed and discarded and Copenhagen conference should be closed,” Corbyn said in a contentious on air television exchange with an environmental activist with Russia's WWF. The live TV debate with Corbyn appeared on Moscow's RT TV on November 25, 2009. The RT TV's segment was titled “Heating Cheating.” See Full Video of Debate here.

“The world is cooling and has been cooling for 7 years and the leading scientists, so-called 'scientists' have been trying to hide that evidence,” Corbyn said in reference to hacked emails showing top UN IPCC scientists apparently conspiring to manipulate temperature data and exclude scientific studies from peer-review that they did not agree with.

Au Japon, une banque demande à ses employés de rentrer tôt pour faire des enfants!!!

Les employés de la première banque japonaise ont chacun reçu un e-mail assez inhabituel de la direction, les appelant à rentrer chez eux 50 minutes plus tôt qu'à l'accoutumée. Soulignant le très faible taux de natalité du pays, la Mitsubishi UFJ leur conseille de profiter de ce temps libre pour passer du "temps en famille".

La campagne interne de la MUFJ s'ajoute à d'autres initiatives nationales déjà envisagées pour inciter les Japonais à faire plus d'enfants. Le raisonnement est simple: si le "salaryman" japonais et sa compagne rentrent du travail à une heure plus raisonnable, alors qu'ils avaient jusqu'à présent l'habitude de consacrer leurs soirées à leur entreprise, ils auront peut-être l'énergie pour se retrouver un peu ensemble et se reproduire.

Un homme au Vietnam couche avec le cadavre de sa femme depuis 5 ans !!!

Un vietnamien a déterré le cadavre de son épouse et dormait à côté d'elle pendant cinq ans parce qu'il voulait l’embrasser dans son lit, un journal en ligne a rapporté jeudi.

L’homme de 55ans d'une petite ville dans la province centrale de Quang Nam a ouvert la tombe de sa femme en 2004 et il a couvert les restes du cadavre avec de l’argile pour lui donner la figure d'une femme ; il a ensuite  posé les vêtements sur elle, puis l'a placée dans son lit, raconte le journal Vietnamnet.vn.

L'homme, Le Van, a déclaré au site web que lorsque son épouse est décédée en 2003, il dormait sur le dessus de sa tombe, mais après environ 20 mois, il s'inquiétait de la pluie, le vent et le froid, alors il a décidé de creuser un tunnel dans la tombe "pour coucher avec elle. "

En le trouvant dehors, ses enfants l’ont empêché d’aller à la tombe. Alors une nuit en Novembre 2004, il a déterré les restes de son épouse pour les amené à la maison, d’après VietnamNet .

Le site a réalisé une photo de Van avec la figure de sa femme, qui est toujours dans sa maison.

Le père de sept enfants a déclaré que ses voisins n'ont pas osé visiter la maison pendant plusieurs années.

Les Libyens exclus du Forum de Davos...

Les citoyens libyens ne pourront pas participer au Forum économique mondial (WEF) de Davos qui se tiendra à la fin du mois de janvier prochain. Ainsi en a décidé la direction du WEF.

«Aussi longtemps que les relations entre la Suisse et la Libye ne seront pas normalisées», la direction du WEF a décidé de ne pas inviter de citoyens libyens, a indiqué samedi le porte-parole du WEF Kai Bucher. Il confirmait une information du journal alémanique Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

Reste que, pour l'heure, on ne sait pas si des Libyens sont intéressés à participer au prochain Forum de Davos. Au siège principal du WEF, dans le canton de Genève, aucune demande d'accréditation n'a jusqu'ici été reçue. Le porte-parole a de son côté précisé que les ressortissants libyens ne seront pas exclus des rencontres du WEF qui n'ont pas lieu en Suisse. Suite...

Tribal peoples being devastated by global warming hysteria...

Measures to stop global warming risk being as harmful to tribal peoples as climate change itself, according to a new report from Survival.

The report, ‘The most inconvenient truth of all: climate change and indigenous people’, sets out four key ‘mitigation measures’ that threaten tribal people:

1. Biofuels: promoted as an alternative, ‘green’ source of energy to fossil fuels, much of the land allocated to grow them is the ancestral land of tribal people. If biofuels expansion continues as planned, millions of indigenous people worldwide stand to lose their land and livelihoods. More + video...

Sarkozy 'very effective' in securing Polanski release...

Roman Polanski’s family yesterday praised the role played by Nicolas Sarkozy in securing the film director’s release on bail after two months in a Swiss prison.

The French President “has been very effective” behind the scenes, according to the film director’s sister-in-law Mathilde Seigner, as Mr Polanski prepared to move from a cell to house arrest in his luxury chalet in the exclusive Alpine village of Gstaad.

Ms Seigner refused to elaborate on the nature of Mr Sarkozy’s assistance but the President may have been influenced by his wife Carla Bruni’s own connections with the chic Parisian artisic set to which Mr Polanski, his actress wife Emmanuelle Seigner and her sister all belong. More...

Is it bye-bye Dubai?

Early one morning at the end of last month, a throaty roar rippled over the sands of the Arabian desert. As it grew in pitch in the warm dawn air, it also became fainter, reverberating through the vacant car parks and abandoned building sites of the city towards the calm waters and newly built islands of the Persian Gulf.

As the caravan disappeared over the western horizon, it lumbered rather more than you might expect from one made up of luxury sports cars: but then, there were 82 of them. The Ferrari Owners' Club was on its way.

It could only be Dubai. The emirate – the very term has oriental echoes of excess – does nothing by halves, and though analysts said the financial crisis would induce a sober new realism, we in Dubai didn't listen. More...

Did you know that Queen's Freddie Mercury was actually an Indian?

Eighteen years since he died, an unglamorous London suburb has unveiled Britain's first memorial to Freddie Mercury, hoping it will inspire other local British Asians to take the world by storm.
Mercury, the lead singer of rock legends Queen, is remembered for his captivating live performances, spellbinding vocals and enduring hits like "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Don't Stop Me Now" and "We Are The Champions".

But few know of him as a shy teenage immigrant from India via Zanzibar who blossomed in the unremarkable dormitory town of Feltham -- and the local area is now putting that right by celebrating Mercury as one of their own. More...

The Beatles 1000 years later...

Deep web, the dark side of the internet...

Fourteen years ago, a pasty Irish teenager with a flair for inventions arrived at Edinburgh University to study artificial intelligence and computer science. For his thesis project, Ian Clarke created "a Distributed, Decentralised Information Storage and Retrieval System", or, as a less precise person might put it, a revolutionary new way for people to use the internet without detection. By downloading Clarke's software, which he intended to distribute for free, anyone could chat online, or read or set up a website, or share files, with almost complete anonymity.

"It seemed so obvious that that was what the net was supposed to be about – freedom to communicate," Clarke says now. "But [back then] in the late 90s that simply wasn't the case. The internet could be monitored more quickly, more comprehensively, more cheaply than more old-fashioned communications systems like the mail." His pioneering software was intended to change that.

Aliens from outer space are already among us on earth, say Bulgarian government scientists who claim they are already in contact with extraterrestrial life.

Work on deciphering a complex set of symbols sent to them is underway, scientists from the country's Space Research Institute said.

They claim aliens are currently answering 30 questions posed to them.

Lachezar Filipov, deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the research.

He said the centre's researchers were analysing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe answer the questions. More...

The 55-year-old man from a small town in the central province of Quang Nam opened up his wife's grave in 2004, molded clay around the remains to give the figure of a woman, put clothes on her and then placed her in his bed, Vietnamnet.vn said.

The man, Le Van, told the website that after his wife died in 2003 he slept on top of her grave, but about 20 months later he worried about rain, wind and cold, so he decided to dig a tunnel into the grave "to sleep with her." More...

How the Irish police closed their eyes to paedophile priests...

Allergy fears halt distribution of GlaxoSmithKline swine flu vaccine in Canada...

According to GlaxoSmithKline spokeswoman Gwenan White, the company advised pulling the batch after reports of higher than normal occurrences of a side effect called anaphylaxis, which can include swollen tongues, throats and respiratory distress.

"We have advised health care professionals not to use that batch while health authorities and GlaxoSmithKline investigate," said White.

Kim Jong-il bans World Cup coverage - unless North Korea win!!!

Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader, has banned the World Cup from being shown in his country – unless they win.

The Supreme Leader has ordered state-run television not to broadcast live games, and to only screen highlights of North Korea's victories.

The ruling means that 99 per cent of the country's 29 million population will not be able to find out who wins the competition unless the 350-1, outsiders win it.

Games between other nations will be banned from the airwaves, while any highlights of North Korea's matches will be heavily edited to ensure that they look like the better team. More...

We won't charge for online news, says BBC...

The BBC has today said it has "no intention" of charging for online news, in a declaration that is unlikely to please James Murdoch and his father Rupert as they prepare to start charging for News Corporation content on the internet.

Sir Michael Lyons, the BBC Trust chairman, said the corporation has "no intention of diluting BBC commitment to universal access to free news online" as he outlined the areas director general Mark Thompson's ongoing strategic review will cover.

The BBC's internet news operations came under fire in August at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival from James Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corporation in Europe and Asia, who accused the corporation of "throttling" the market and preventing its competitors from launching or expanding their own services online.

The NSA helped make Windows 7...

Okay, so I intentionally used a salacious headline to get your attention. It’s Thursday. The NSA didn’t really help make Windows 7. Rather, using its “unique expertise and operational knowledge of system threats and vulnerabilities” the National Security Agency helped shape “Microsoft’s operating system security guide”, according to Richard Sharffer, Information Assurance Director at the NSA. The NSA works with other companies, like Red Hat, Apple, and Sun, too. The NSA started the Security Enhanced Linux initiative in 2003, so it should come as no surprise that its been working to help secure Windows, too. More...

If you've done nothing wrong, you have everything to worry about the fear-creating nanny state...

Whenever someone frets about the erosion of personal freedoms in our modern society, such as in the steady proliferation of surveillance cameras in public places, the stock answer, which is one I read all too often in my e-mail, is:

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

People who say this are fools, not to be too blunt about it. Not only are they willing to trade away my rights, since they haven't a basic appreciation of theirs, but their understanding of the relationship between government and the governed is one of subservience based on fear, and the idea that their fear is not only natural, but justifiably permanent given the state of the world.

Thus, we should all be fearful, all of the time. We should empower government to do whatever it feels necessary to protect us. The unquestioning nature of this logic not only institutionalizes fear, it makes it a patriotic duty. And the good citizen, the one who has done nothing wrong, will have nothing to worry about.

3 women in Zimbabwe kidnap and rape a man in church!!!

Three sex-starved women kidnapped an 18-year-old man in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe on November 17, with one of the women raping the young lad in a cathedral.

The man’s employer sent him on an errand to Makoni shopping center. As he entered the parking lot around 3 p.m., a Toyota Corolla suddenly pulled beside him.

Three women got out, snatched him from his vehicle and tossed him into their car. The three women drove him to Harare’s Roman Catholic Cathedral where they locked him in a room.

At around 8 p.m., one of the women returned and forced the man to have sex with her, sources say. More...

Sudan's "trouser journalist" in Europe promoting her book...

The Sudanese journalist briefly jailed for wearing "indecent trousers" said Wednesday she might not return to her country but instead continue her campaign for women's rights from abroad.

Lubna Ahmed Hussein, who said she defied a travel ban and sneaked out of Sudan, said however she was not planning to ask for asylum in Europe.

(...)

She said that 43,000 women were arrested in 2008 in the Khartoum region by police tasked with enforcing Sudan's laws on indecent clothing for women.

"If that's happening in Khartoum, we can only imagine what's going on in the rest of the country," which is Africa's largest state and home to 42 million people, she told reporters.

(...)

Sudanese women also get beaten for wearing trousers due to Christian orders in the country's south.

In October 2008, a southern Sudan cabinet minister said that more than 20 women were arrested and beaten for allegedly dressing inappropriately under a new edict against "bad behaviour". Full story...

Grippe A : Des cas graves d'allergie au vaccin au Canada...

Un nombre inhabituel de réaction allergiques «graves» au vaccin contre le virus H1N1 de la grippe pandémique a été enregistré récemment au Canada où un lot du groupe pharmaceutique GlaxoSmithKline a été rappelé, a annoncé ce mardi l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS).

«Les autorités canadiennes (...) mènent les recherches» nécessaires pour établir les causes de ces allergies, a annoncé Thomas Abraham, un porte-parole de l'OMS. Le nombre exact de cas graves détectés n'a cependant pas été communiqué avec précision, de même que la nature des allergies constatées. En France, une réaction à un traitement est considérée comme «grave» quand elle nécessite une hospitalisation. Suite...

Fusionman Yves Rossy se lance dans un vol intercontinental!!!

C’est une suite logique. Un peu plus d’une année après avoir captivé le monde entier en traversant la Manche avec son drôle d’engin, notre Corbeau (nom des habitants de Crans-près-Céligny) à réaction s’attaque à un océan, l’Atlantique en l’occurrence.

Evidemment, il ne se lance pas (encore?) dans une transat en solitaire et sans escale, mais il n’a pas non plus choisi le chemin le plus court entre l’Afrique et l’Europe. Si le détroit de Gibraltar s’étend sur 14,4 kilomètres, le chemin choisi par Yves Rossy entre Tanger (Maroc) et Atlanterra (Espagne) mesure 38 kilomètres. Et en cas de vents capricieux, le vol réel pourrait bien faire 10 kilomètres de plus. Suite...
