Japan Gets Set for the Buttocks Generation
“Japanese parents have been given government permission to name their children ‘Buttocks’ or ‘Prostitute’ if they wish after a bizarre row over expanding the list of officially acceptable names.
Japan’s system of writing, which has evolved from ancient Chinese script, was simplified after the Second World War when the government abolished thousands of characters. In recent years, however, the authorities in Tokyo have been under pressure to reinstate obscure and archaic characters so that more interesting and original names can be created. Traditional ones such as Hanako, a girl’s name meaning ‘Flower Child’, and Manabu, a boy’s name meaning ‘Studious’, have fallen out of favour. As a result, the justice ministry proposed an additional 578 characters for names, but included dozens that most parents might view as poor taste, such as ‘Piles’, ‘Vagina’ and ‘Slur’.”
The South African government has been honoured with the World Wildife Fund’s highest award, the Gift to the Earth, for its commitment to protecting marine resources.
MPAs are the marine equivalent of national parks, and South Africa’s allow different categories of use ranging from limited fishing and controlled tourism, to full “sanctuary zones”. Future efforts would have to be directed at conserving substantial components of the continental shelf, extending into South Africa’s economic exclusion zone.
“South African student Bronwyn Gower got the shock of her life when she turned up at the home affairs office this month to replace her stolen identity card and was told that she was married. She was informed that her chosen one was Fabian Oshi, born May 1, 1978 who appeared to be a Nigerian national. 
Bronwyn’s “big day” allegedly took place in Mhala, a village close to the border with Mozambique and Swaziland, on April 14, when South Africa held elections and all government offices were closed. Because the marriage took place on that date, Bronwyn, was able to get a quick annulment.

The new laws come into effect in one week and also ban the sale of coloured chicks at fairs. The use of small animals as competition prizes will also be forbidden.
It’s quite weird for us because in South Africa, being in debt is not something you aspire to, or even brag about. I am terrified of being in mounting debt. The worst scenario I can imagine is having a massive mountain of debt to pay off, every day increasing in size with interest as my lifestyle becomes more and more extravagant beyond my income. It seems fun to spend when youre young and beautiful and everyone wants to employ you - it seems like there are decades ahead to pay off the debt. But before you know it you are older. Youll probably earn less than you do now until finally, nobody wants to employ you. This generation isnt even saving properly for retirement. Am I the only one who thinks this is mad?!!
Authors Finkelstein and Silberman suggest in their book that it was Josiah, a descending king over a more developed Jerusalem who lived over 300 years after David, who ordered the transcription of the Old Testament stories. Josiah apparently believed, as have many great rulers since, that a national scripture was needed to cement a monotheistic religious orthodoxy. The Old Testament stories have continued to generate a national identity for the new Israel even today.”

“There are noticeable differences in menopausal symptoms between East and West. For example, it is estimated that while up to 85% of women in Western cultures have hot flashes and night sweats, less than 10% of Japanese women have hot flashes and less than 4% have night sweats.
Olivia’s Note: Soy products can cause allergies and other intolerance reactions in adults and babies. Always keep in mind that some individuals who are allergic to cow’s milk may well also be allergic to soy protein. Despite this it is added to a surprisingly vast amount of ready meals and other pre-packaged foods. If you have a double intolerance, read every label on every food product and cut out all foods that list ingredients such as: milk, whey, casein, milk solids, soya, textured vegetable protein, hydrolysed vegetable protein. I was originally intolerant of milk and soy but have since been 
Brain fingerprinting is supposed to assess the truthfulness of what a suspected criminal is saying by monitoring electrical “flashes” in the part of the brain associated with memory. The suspect is shown words, images or objects of the crime scene or a weapon that only the police or the person who committed the crime would know about.
Pieter and I discovered this gorgeous little gallery-shop on Kings Road in Brighton today. The bulging and beautiful window display enticed us in. We spent ages inside this little shop, browsing, surrounded by beautiful Japanese scents and aesthetically exquisite items to adorn your home with.
Eikonoclast is the perfect place to prezzie shop for that person who has everything because everything inside is exclusively available to Eikonoclast. In a place like Brighton that is quite an achievement!
I just love
