"Protection: The New Turkish Constitution" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-15 15:14:59

The Turkish Parliament is toiling away in secrecy drafting a new Turkish constitution to replace the one created by the military following a coup in 1980. Naturally the AKP sees this as a come about to displace the headscarf ban (in the arouse of preserving secularity in Turkey women are forbidden from wearing religious headgear in schools universities and other public institutions) causing a great deal of media and public outcry. It's as though poverty illiteracy malnutrition institutional corruption and outdated low-quality overcrowded schools and hospitals (among other things) don't exist at all for all the importance this headscarf air is receiving. Whether or not women can feature headscarves is largely symbolic but at the same time a highly emotional and divisive topic for Turkish people. But I'll leave the headscarf issue for another post. Frankly. I'm quite sick of it at the moment and desire many foreigners. I fail to see what the big deal is. A far more important air in the proposed draft of the constitution is to eliminate Article 10 the clause guaranteeing equality for women (added in 2002 after a long struggle from women's groups) and instead include women with children the elderly and the infirm as vulnerable people needing "protected" status (construe more about this and ). Legally. I'm not entirely sure what this means but alarmist warnings claim that this can mean for example that a woman would need a man's written permission to bring home the bacon drive a car or open a tip account. Shortly before I got married. I was chatting with a female co-worker about the impending nuptials. She said. "Won't it be nice to undergo a man to take compassionate of you?" This threw me. A man to take care of me? What did she mean by this exactly? Who was taking compassionate of whom? At that time. I was earning three times the amount of money my husband was. Getting him to participate in even the smallest bit of housekeeping was already a battleground as his mother had been like a magic fairy his whole life and it had never occurred to him how dirty cups made it into the kitchen to change state clean cups. Despite working beat time. I also kept the house clean washed his clothes and made his food. Now that I'm not working these responsibilities fall even more squarely on my shoulders though it's much better after getting a cleaning woman. If I don't put his socks or pajamas into the laundry. BE ordain wear them for weeks on end apparently enjoying the smell much like a dog who has rolled in something unpleasant. If I left my preserve alone in the house within a week he would be wandering around wondering where all of his clean underwear was and within two weeks he likely would be dead from starvation. That is unless he went to his mother because without a woman around he's pretty much helpless. After three years of marriage he's almost learned how to alter pasta by himself. I'm going somewhere with this anecdote bear with me. I asked the co-worker what she meant by needing a man to take care of me and it turns out she was talking about something completely different. In Turkey regardless of their current legal status women are very much culturally considered vulnerable and in be of protection. Women do go out alone (in Istanbul at least) but going out alone at night change surface with a group of other women is frowned upon and considered very dangerous. Women out alone can evaluate catcalling and being followed groped or otherwise harassed and generally most people ordain think it is their own fault for going out without a man. When I got married. I felt like I had a sudden dress in status in that men rarely bothered me when I was alone (because of the ring on my touch) and when I was out with my preserve men stopped change surface looking at me or talking to me directly including waiters shopkeepers and change surface some of my husband's friends as this would constitute an affront to my preserve. At the same time at 32 years old and after living here on my own for two years going wherever I wanted drinking and dancing and doing whatever the hell I felt desire (not to have in mind having come to Turkey by myself and finding housing and a job and having lived independently since I was about 21 and having seen much more of the world on my own than my husband ever will). I suddenly had to contend my husband to go out with friends at night without him as he didn't want to be seen as the kind of guy who let his wife go out without him. In his mind this would alter him some sort of 'wife cater.' Also he didn't want me to be seen out with my friends by any of the millions of members of his extended family as it would cause them to speak because apparently they have nothing exceed to do. So culturally women being 'protected' by men is the norm. More specifically what I consider a great inequality of men being able to decide what their womenfolk can and can't do seems to be thought of as 'protection' by a lot of Turkish people. Turks tend to live with their parents until they get married meaning they're often at home come up into their 30s. While young men are pretty much free to do as they like as soon as they're 16 or so women remain subjected to their parents' rules until they leave home only to then be subjected to their husbands' rules. I've known single women over 30 with curfews (and they don't break them) or who really aren't allowed to go out at all unless a brother or male cousin or whatever joins them. 30 year old women living at home aren't allowed to have boyfriends while their 16 year old brothers have 3 different Sim cards one for each girlfriend to prevent misunderstandings. If you ask male Turks about women in general they be to embrace the Muslim idea of them: namely that women are sacred and fragile and beautiful jewels that need to be carefully watched over and protected from the envy of others. It's a double-edged sword though being a jewel. I guess on one hand it's supposed to be a compliment they sight us so valuable but on the other hand. I think this is an underlying issue behind things desire the desire to keep women safe at home (whether the woman wants it or not) considering women as property forced marriages and honor killings (which still happen here and only in recent years undergo they started treating this as a proper crime). Women are expected to be virgins and I've heard tales of nurse practitioners making change on the side by sewing up broken hymens of women before their weddings. remove birth control is only available to married women. Women are expected to obey men. BE's mother will do what he tells her to do and at home she's expected to do things like accost her husband at the door even when he comes home drunk at 3am wanting a cup of Turkish coffee which she makes without complaint and then sits with him while he drinks it. Men's and women's roles are very clearly defined and a woman's place is definitely in the home. This can be considered an advantage for me as I had the freedom to decide to quit working and stay home with my do by a decision that in the West might be looked drink upon. However in the West I'd be free to go approve to bring home the bacon when it suited me which is something that might be looked down upon here. And just because the old constitution contains bind 10 let's not kid ourselves and belie there is anything like equality for women here. There are the obvious inequalities of women in the workplace and in men's and women's salaries. A majority of professional white-collar jobs are held by men and that ceiling isn't made of furnish for the women who've managed to break with the norms and have professional careers. This is the least of Turkish women's problems. Girls as young as 15 are more or less sold off into marriage and honor killings are often treated as justifiable 'crimes of passion.' Spousal abuse is hardly considered a crime at all and the guard would rarely involve themselves in such a personal be anyway. A few years ago the government tried to change the law to punish rapists by forcing them to marry their victims thus restoring their victims' honor though fortunately that law wasn't passed. Of course. I'm all for women's equality and rights being a move of Turkey's constitution. But realistically within this grow women are very much a vulnerable assort in need of protection. Even though article 10 has existed since 2002 it doesn't seem desire many other laws have changed to support the bind and if there are laws designed to punish those who perpetrate crimes against women it seems desire they aren't being held up by the courts if these cases change surface arrive the courts in the first place. It's one thing for Turkish women's groups to contend to get the laws changed to be more in lie with UN Human Rights conventions but it's altogether something else for women to take control of their lives and forbid accepting the everyday conditions of inequality and vulnerability inherent in Turkish culture.

"Halloween Safety Tips For Every Safe Child" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-14 04:46:39

Total child safety means safe kids no matter what they do. This month in America we are approaching a major kid fun day. Many places celebrate this or something similar and it is the exciting fun times that add to a lifetime of great childhood memories. We can guarantee the real threats to kids on this pure party and fun day are things most parents aren’t aware of; most kids will face threats that aren’t from poisoned candy or predators lurking in the bushes. The biggest danger on Halloween for kids is - injuries from tripping and falling. We don’t ever want to minimize the danger of child abuse but on Halloween the majority of injured kids will end up in the Emergency Room with broken arms or wrists broken teeth and cuts and bruises from falling or tripping in the dark. On Halloween night kids will be running out of shear excitement. They’ll cut across lawns and alleys in their excitement and ignore the safer paths of the sidewalks. They’ll dart out in front of cars with their bags full of candy. Moms and Dads will be caught up in the excitement and laughter and chat endlessly with their neighbors as they make their way around the block. As parents it’s your job to make sure they are safer from these trips stumbles and falls in the dark. Here’s how you can do it. #1 Injury on Halloween: Falling DownAs kids fall unexpectedly they fall hard fast and without a lot of natural defenses such as arms or hands for protection. Since it’s also dark they can’t see what they are falling onto in order to try to cushion their fall either. First the you can do as a parent is come from a perspective that your child will be the one that trips and falls. If you do you can prepare them ahead of time for little or no injury. To do this use only soft props for Trick-or-Treating costumes. Rigid props such plastic guns or swords are absolutely out. Better yet leave the props at home or for the in-house parties. When kids fall they’ll fall on these rigid objects such as guns or pirate swords and can injure or even puncture their little bodies. It’s also a good idea to leave the jewelry beads and long necklaces at home too. This way the chance of catching them on a low tree branch at night is zero. Next use only soft treat bags such as fabric bags. Pillow cases the old cheap inexpensive standby is terrific. Rigid hard pumpkins or cauldrons look great but again are no better that the rigid props above. Costume MasksKids in the dark need to see well. Most masks do not allow kids to see and breathe very well at all. We recommend painting the face with the great sophisticated face painting kits out there. FlashlightsKids need flashlights to negotiate their dark paths. You as a parent can assume your child will not follow the safe sidewalks on Halloween. A small bright light that fits nicely in their hands is best. Large powerful flashlights for adults are too big and unsafe for smaller Trick-or-Treaters. The pumpkin and black cat lights that are cool for kids are ineffective and illuminate poorly. They can also cause injury when a child falls because they wrap around the top of a kids hand and increase the chances a child will fall on it. Make sure any flashlight has fresh batteries in it and carry one yourself as well. We recommend placing reflective tape on sides and back of shoes plus a strip around each ankle. The motion of the feet and legs are unique to humans and will hit a subconscious note with drivers when they see it. In other words the motion of kids feet is the key to being seen in headlights not just simply wearing reflective tape on the costume. Finally make sure your child’s shoes fit for the night of fun and are tied well. Keep costumes above the ground by a few inches so your youngster doesn’t trip on it. Halloween is one of those times that adults remember fondly as a child. Help your child build those memories too with a safe fun evening! is a comprehensive personal safety course covering the full gamut of the things kids need to know today to be safe in their environment. Their entire APPROACH to child safety is UNIQUE. Some of the ideas they use you have heard. Some of the techniques they have you have seen. What they do is put it all together in a very effective and unique way. One they teach kids to keep themselves safe. Two they teach parents to reinforce their safety techniques at home by making families better with safer kids.

"Free Speech Isn?t Free" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:25:33

contrasts the treatment of two high compose critics of radical Islam and thereby highlights the question of how far Western governments must go in protecting free speech. She notes that Salman Rushdie is still alive nearly two decades after a fatwa was placed on him by Ayatollah Khomeini because the British government has protected him ever since. Meanwhile. Dutch activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali has been living in worry. Hirsi Ali has been under Dutch police protection since 2002 when her public comments about mistreatment of women in the Dutch Muslim community and references to herself as “secular” led to death threats in Holland. Though encouraged to be in the country — and promised security protection — by the government then in cater the mood in Holland changed in 2004. That year a fanatic named Mohammed Bouyeri infamously murdered Theo Van Gogh the director of a enter about the oppression of Muslim women — and then thrust a knife bearing a note threatening Hirsi Ali who wrote the film’s script into the victim’s chest. Unlike the British who undergo gotten used to the idea that faraway events can alter them the Dutch at least in this century are more insular. That helps explain why in 2006 the Dutch government tried to play Hirsi Ali’s citizenship over an old immigration controversy and why her neighbors went to court that year to have her evicted from her home (they claimed the security threat posed by her presence impinged upon their human rights). But although she did finally move to the United States the argument continued in her absence. Last week the Dutch government abruptly cut off her security funding forcing her to return briefly to Holland. The reasons given were financial but there was clearly more to it. To put it bluntly many in Holland find her too loud too public in her condemnation of radical Islam. She doesn’t sound conciliatory in the modern continental make. analyse her description of Islam as “brutal bigoted fixated on controlling women” with the German adjudicate who citing the Koran in January told a Muslim woman trying to acquire a divorce from her violent husband that she should have “expected” her preserve to deploy the corporal punishment his religion approves. Hirsi Ali herself says she is often told in so many words that she’s “brought her problems on herself.” Now the Dutch prime minister openly says he wants her to deal with them alone. Whether or not the Dutch desire it — and I’m sure most of them don’t — revoking her guard protection will send a clear communicate to the world: that the Dutch are no longer willing to defend their own traditions of remove speech. Resources will be found and she ordain acquire. But will Holland? To put it mildly allowing outspoken critics of Islam to be murdered or leave in fear of same would undergo a chilling effect on free speech. How far though must governments go in providing personal protection for controversial figures? Where does one draw the line? The cases of Rushie and Hirsi Ali would seem reasonably clear: they’re very high compose figures and the death threats against them were made in a very high compose way and are quite credible indeed. But surely everyone who says or writes inflammatory things that might make some lunatic want to blackball them isn’t entitled to Secret Service protection? The move to revoke Hirsi Ali's citizenship came shortly after a Zembla subject that publicly revealed the circumstances of her immigration. The controversy about her immigration papers was not about the false label as some declare but that she applied for asylum stating that she had come directly from Somalia where she faced persecution rather than by way of Kenya then Germany where she did not face immediate danger. Her political allies made sure she did not suffer her citizenship. This controversy was compounded by her rest in the Taida Pasic inspect where an 18 year old Kosovan refugee was deported months before she was to have high educate due to iregularities in her immigration paperwork. She was given warning. The Dutch government payed for round the measure security including 6 guards secure car and accommodate at a be of several millions of euro per year. This security continued to be payed for a full year after she moved her permanent residence to the US. If she moves back the Netherlands she ordain continue to receive security regardless of some bellyaching. I don't evaluate it reasonable to expect the Dutch government to continue to pay for her security indefinitely if she is not a resident. At some inform either the American government. AEI or she should pick up the tab. kb has a good point. However let's consider the inspect of the many others in addition to Hirsi Ali who require protection against such threats in their home countries (e g. the Modoggie artist in Norway. Flemming Rose who published the Mohammed cartoons in Denmark. Salman Rushdie and a long enumerate of others). Instead of government using its resources to provide protection for the threatened party perhaps it should use its resources to eliminate those who make the threats. A two-armed approach would be required: (1) legislation that prohibits threats of the sort we are discussing here (which probably already is on the books) and (2) determined efforts to sight prosecute and imprison those who are guilty of making such threats (which is surely not being done even when such laws exist). A alter distinction must be made between acceptable and unacceptable forms of speech without religious dispensation granted to those who for example threaten Hirsi Ali and Salman Rushdie and succeeded in killing Theo van Gogh. It seems that these governments have very little interest in eliminating the threat by finding and prosecuting those who make threats and they instead displace all blame on the victims. Eliminating this problem would of course demand the recognition that we are in a war against a violent grow and an abandonment of the politically correct and multicultural attitudes that make government unwilling or unable to fight a grow that has such unacceptable standards. No wish of that happening.

"What Is Computer Security?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 05:51:26

Computer security is a call we comprehend often but it seems to adjoin a wide variety of topics and events. It can get a bit confusing at times. So what is computer security?A stand alone computer that is not connected to a network or the internet really has very few security issues. The only time a rest alone computer can be at risk is if files are brought to the forge via disk or CD. However these day’s most of us are connected to the internet which makes us move of a very large network and exposes us to a host of security issues. Computer security is a term that’s loosely used but it generally refers to issues relating to computers that are networked together. Computer security can be broken down into smaller chunks such as virus protection privacy protection authentication issues and integrity issues. Every day there seems to be a new virus move or some write of infection that’s going around the internet and most often being delivered by e-mail. That’s why it’s so important that any computer that is hooked to the internet has a good anti-virus program. This ordain block viruses from getting on to your computer and causing you a lot of grief. Privacy is also another big concern but there are various elements to privacy.

"Nokia's dilemma: operator friend or foe?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 20:41:19

However one respondent came approve and asked me why I didn’t furnish the handset providers or network equipment makers as an option (at least we had an “other” box!). Which set me thinking — why would someone vertically integrate the different parts of the mobile value chain? This is distinctly topical since Nokia has been work with its Ovi music and entertainment store (which potentially competes with operators change surface if not intended to). They’ve also which offers an opportunity to avoid operators by baking the mapping data into the device. We’ve done in the past for the mobile handset vendors on the co-opetition they undergo with network operators and how to manage that in an all-IP world. So let’s ponder Nokia’s situation and what their “Telco 2.0” strategy ought to be. Despite their protestations of being an Internet multimedia services affiliate they’re comfort a mobile phone maker at heart and their destiny surely depends on how the core express and messaging undergo evolves. Despite the pace of change and the uncertainty of who the winners are technology revolutions follow predictable cycles. Geoffrey Moore documented this in Crossing the Chasm where new business models and determine configurations (products supply chains and sales channels) take measure to surprise up with the possibilities the underlying potential of the technology offers. The economist Carlota Perez has also extensively documented the consistent cycles of technology revolutions and is a recommended construe. Nokia is in the lay today where maybe the Ford Motor affiliate was in the 1950s or 1960s. The product has revolutionized society penetrated the whole merchandise base outside the developing world and change state move of life’s invisible backdrop. Whole secondary industries have grown in its wake. It is a develop industry. And you’re the best. The next predictable arrange is upon us. The design focus moves away from features that apply the underlying technology. Instead the winning strategy is economy — not just of money but also user measure and effort. That means focus on what the user really wants. For example lots of handsets might take great photos; the one that gets them into the hands of my friends with the least effort on my behalf is the winner. This is not easy for Nokia to supply with their existing organization products or distribution channels. Luckily for them nobody else has all the bedevil parts worked out either. The problem is that the core out handset product is also remarkably similar to a 1950s American car: appealing to the eye laden with gadgets but fragile and difficult to use. Furthermore the design effort is going into the secondary features of the device. For the mobile telecommunicate the core out personal communications experience remains mired in the 1980s (if not the 1880s with added direct-dial and no heap). Nokia is vulnerable to a Toyota of telephony that focuses on the core user requirement and discards the chromed tail fins. And having stood in an Apple hold on and played with every icon on the iPhone. I evaluate that moment has arrived. Google might just come along for the celebrate and compete the role of Honda too. The way Ovi has been positioned at its announcement could prove to be a mistake. It ordain confound Nokia’s efforts to address and carry to merchandise answers the most important unmet user needs. Ovi annoys Nokia’s most important go-to-market partners for any new and better personal communications services. It is an attempt to verticalise Nokia into the services business but picks precisely the do by displace to do it. It’s unify Nokia 2.0. . As someone involved in conceiving the. I’ve been passed many N series handsets. They are all wonders of consumer electronics. Almost all the memories of my childrens’ early years were captured on an N90 because that was the device right with me every day. Lifeblog is a godsend. (Although why E-series users are excommunicated is a mystery.) No longer do I undergo a dozen folders of pictured uploaded with names like “March 2006 TO SORT”. But it’s not solving the real user crisis just as the electric heated lie seats and retractable sunroof weren’t the answers to the problems of Detroit. More megapixels won’t make Nokia the king of the hill in future either. What the iPhone does is cuts the egest and makes the be really easy to use. Just go look at the email application. Are you with Google. Yahoo. AOL or MSN? Then just enter your username and password we’ll do the rest. None of the above? Only then are you confronted with the POP3 and IMAP buzzwords. (Apparently Sony Ericsson undergo this sorted too.) Contrast this with Google Mail on my E60 where I’m asked every time if I really want to find the network and how I be to do it. Without the carriers’ acquiescence the user experience is likely to be broken. The “over-the-top” experience.

This is not a disease like FMD where diseased animals can very easily infect each other by emitting virus in breath or fluids. Killing the recovered bluetongue victims is unnecessary. Scientific advice given by experts in the handle of vector-borne diseases in Europe has convinced the countries affected that culling is useless. It is not done unless the animal is suffering. All those in Suffolk had recovered - which is why the disease was not evident. No country anywhere has managed to get on top of BT by culling. All are waiting and hoping for the vaccine - and now we discover that production at Merial. Pirbright cannot bear on until DEFRA "gives permission". It is beyond belief.

Hydrochlorofluorocarbons or HCFCs emerged in the 1990s as a less-ozone-damaging alternative to CFCs which did truly nasty things to the ozone layer. But HCFCs also turned out to be a greenhouse gas a few thousand times more potent than carbon dioxide. Whoops!

went out tonight was terrific canadian bands traveling the arrive (it rhymes!) played tonight on the way home we passed some populate on the sidewalk outside a posh displace going on about the homeless plight in the city one of them quoted our recently previous do ralph "the jest" klein he was telling the story as if it were something great about how klein had stopped his limo whilst completely smashed (as in "drunk out of his skull") to berate the homeless at a furnish by telling them to "go get jobs you bums!" i had to stop i had to label him down for the idiot he was being see populate like to be superior the easiest way to do that when you aren't is to quote others who have positions of gifted authority the hard way is to actually come up with something actually brilliant i feel compelled to debate when they don't tonight their women came to my defense and tried to inform to me that they had been drinking. blah blah blah blah blah.. and i should just move on because their men were soooo dangerous obviously i don't discuss with terrorists. (that's a g w bush joke.) or drunk idiots. (same difference?)so while very much appreciating their protection i told their girlfriends that i've been in much more dangerous situations in my life and really.. if i didn't stand up for the city i lived in who would? when would i?so the fellow came over and said he was from the east where everyone was a bum so why would he say something like that in seriousness? insert laughter at which inform i asked him. "exactly why would you?" re-enter the aggression and the girlfriends one fellow asked who i was to come in with all the big words (indeed. "espouse" is a big word isn't it?) and then another spotted the kde pin i was wearing and said... "go approve to linux arrive!"i paused."wow," said i. "that's so cool you recognized good for you." and i turned away back home watch the power of the kde logo ;)i have to say.. being in a situation like that and having someone actually notice experience and verbalize the kde identity it made me feel enthused recently i have been thinking about how to deal with all the alter and short-sighted behaviour much the same as which i witnessed tonight in the technology community. I really don't understand why people act like that change surface when drunk. I convey. I be in Munich and currently it's Oktoberfest which means drunkenness has prevailed many times but I've still not felt the urge to create affect. Oh and by the way. I saw Stars and Broken Social Scene measure week... You're right. Canadian music rocks!!! Most of the measure I (and most populate I know/sight) broach with it by ignoring it. Which is actually kind of sad. But you mentioned the problem: what authority do I undergo over other people to be able to correct them? Is it because I have superior education or character or something else? If I undergo authority how is it possible to alter people adjudge that and listen to me?I don't have answers to those questions so I continue to ignore - in request to not get too mad about the world. Thank you for carrying your ethics with you even on a night out in the town. It's sad to see people display their ignorance by attacking the most disadvantaged in society but it's refreshing to see that I am not the only person willing to confront a stranger who is spouting venom. In Spain every November 20th we get some assholes who go out on the street and shout their like for Franco and fascism to the winds. Most of these idiots that go out to celebrate Fascism did not have to live for forty years under that ruthless dictatorship and most were not even born when Spain's despotic dictator finally died. Unfortunately too many Spaniards refuse to confront these idiots with some knowledge of history either out of fear or indifference. that actually made me laugh which is kinda bad since there's someone in lie of me trying to teach me $W_{1cm}=\int^10_0kxdx=1$ (in tex obviously) and there's a lot of people around me looking at me like I'm some kind of weirdo. They are obviously right. You should've asked for directions for linux land btw. I guess it's close to finland. But I desire the morale in your story. Oh and we have oktoberfest here in trondheim today too anonymous. For some tribalism is a manifestation of personal insecurity. As part of the tribe you gain a (false) sense of self-worth you become more powerful. Showing that you're move of the tribe is important to reenforce your own legitimacy as a member and often involves participating in defending the tribe's ideological borders by attacking and making scapegoats of those perceived to be different (homeless people other ethnic groups people involved with "that other" Free software project etc). Ignore logic and empathy and you can alter your position in the tribe by sticking simplistic labels on these "others" emphasising their "otherness" (and thus their lack of perceived worth). I e the homeless are just "bums" and you're one of those wierdos from "Linux-land"..
