Declaration Adopted by Women’s Commission Reaffirms Beijing Texts, Stresses Need to Include Gender Perspective in Summit Review of Millennium Development Goals
…
NYAMKO SABUNI, Minister for Integration and Equality of Sweden, supporting the statement made on behalf of the European Union, said the adoption of the Beijing Platform had raised the bar for Governments across the world. Thanks to it, womens rights had been better implemented in State policies. There were many reasons to be proud. However, there were several areas of concern. Women were still being forced into trafficking, prostitution and under-aged marriage. They were being beaten, mutilated and killed, and denied opportunities to be educated and to work. That was true for all continents. Why? There was no simple explanation: different ideologies provided different answers.

DONATAS JANKAUSKAS, Minister of Social Security and Labour, Lithuania, said progress had been made in all 12 areas of the Beijing Platform, but more efforts were needed in some areas to close the gender gap. Gender equality was not just a women …

Beijing Escorts: For 13th Time, Critic of China’s Government Is Barred From Leaving Country
BEIJING — Chinese security agents in Sichuan Province detained Liao Yiwu, a prominent author and critic of the government, as he prepared to fly on Monday to a literary festival in Germany, human rights activists said.
…
Mr. Liao was imprisoned for four years in the early 1990s after writing an epic poem, “Massacre,” which denounced the Chinese government’s suppression of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. In December 2007, when he traveled to Beijing to receive an award from the Independent Chinese PEN Center, a writers’ rights organization, he was detained by the police and sent back to Chengdu.
In a text-message exchange last month, Mr. Liao said he had repeatedly met with Chengdu security officials to negotiate for permission to attend the Cologne event, but was told that he had been blacklisted by Beijing officials and forbidden to travel abroad.

Beijing Adult Entertainment: Chinese author taken from plane, put under house arrest
BEIJING: Banned writer and government critic Liao Yiwu said Chinese police removed him from a plane Monday and placed him under house arrest, preventing him from traveling to Germany for a literary festival.
As the plane was readying for takeoff in the southwestern city of Chengdu, a flight attendant told Liao to go to the entrance of the jet, where a police officer was waiting for him, the novelist and poet said in a telephone interview.
…
Liao’s book The Corpse Walker: Real Life Stories: China From the Bottom Up was published in the West last year after being banned in China. He wrote it from interviews with toilet cleaners, prostitutes, older monks, political prisoners and street artists.
The writer was imprisoned for four years beginning in 1990 after he published the poem Massacre in 1989 about the bloody crackdown that year on pro-democracy demonstrations, which were centered in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

Beijing Adult Entertainment: Focus on rising Chinese political star Bo
BEIJING — China’s ruling elite gather this week for the year’s biggest political event and the buzz is mainly about one especially savvy player, the son of a revolutionary who’s reaped national acclaim by targeting gang leaders and corrupt police.
Chongqing Communist Party boss Bo Xilai is riding a wave of popularity for the anti-gang crusade in the boisterous Yangtze River city that saw dozens of law enforcement officials arrested for collusion. State media have gushed about Bo’s resolve in editorials.
The party’s official People’s Daily newspaper named him “Man of the Year” in an online poll, and a homemade music video by an unemployed crooner that popped up on the Internet last month praised Bo as “someone to count on.”
…
But the massive crackdown on gangsters running the city’s gambling, prostitution and loan sharking syndicates captivated state media attention and burnished Bo’s political star. Most cheering for the public was that local officials who protected the games, including a police chief, were arrested and put on trial.

Beijing Escorts: Toyota Ordeal Hardly Unique
Quality control expert Frederick Deming became a cultural icon in Japan, while fading into obscurity in the U.S. Management expert Peter Drucker likewise steadily grew in influence.
To be sure, Drucker also remains a major influence in American business circles, but his work is generally ignored in our business schools.
Drucker’s public impact and prominence began with his 1946 book “Concept of the Corporation,” based on a study of General Motors from the inside.
Though the author generally praised the enormous firm, Chairman Alfred P. Sloan Jr. was offended, apparently by criticism of aspects of labor-management relations. The book was banned within the company.
Things got worse. In the 1960s, when Ralph Nader and his young team publicly pressed for auto safety reform, the Big Three dug in.
Some auto executives crossed the line and hired investigators to discredit him, thugs to intimidate him and prostitutes to compromise him. Nader fought back, and ultimately succeeded.

Beijing Adult Entertainment: Pink is the natural color of love
The book is made up of 16 very short stories. One story, Sayang” (What a Shame), is only one paragraph long. The narrator is lamenting his solitary state on his last night in Shanghai; he had not yet met someone for a one-night stand or a possible lover with whom he could talk about chummy things like forever.” In the middle of his musings, two handsome Chinese men approach him and offer a massage, clearly a front for prostitution. He declines the offer: first, he is quite full after having dinner in a traditional Chinese restaurant, and second, he is afraid that the two men might rob him.
The narrator says, Nakakapanghinayang, pero mabuti na ring maingat ako. Baka may mahagip din ako pagdating sa Beijing o Hong Kong.” (Such a waste, but it is better for me to be cautious. Anyway, I might meet someone when I get to Beijing or Hong Kong.) The story ends there but the echo …

Beijing Adult Entertainment: Iran: Notoriety under Sharia garb
Iran: Notoriety under Sharia garb by Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury February 26, 2010 http://www.weeklyblitz.net/551/iran-notoriety-under-sharia-garb
In the first part of my research-based article on titled ‘Iran: Clerics or pimps‘, readers must have already learnt about the latest status of women in that country, which is under the totalitarian role of Muslim fanatics, who virtually are turning the country into a hell.
Rights of women are regularly denied in Iran. Mullahs are acting like a pimp and selling Iranian women to tourists as well to foreign nations. In some cases, women injected with HIV virus are sent to foreign destinations, especially Western countries to ‘destroy’ those societies, which Mullahs term as ‘holy Jihad’. Some of the females are recruited with handsome cash incentives as suicide bombers.
Now here is the second part of the article, where I have tried to give facts on on-growing trend of corruption within administration and various sectors in Iran. In this part of the article, I also have mentioned about the notoriety of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as well how the rotten Mullahs in Iran are using their women for mere entertainment. As promised, I shall continue to write on other issues related to Iran in coming days.
