“Women more driven to scary stories like  rape, murder, serial killers “, recent study states.

This study has proved the old critics wrong, where it is said  Men are  more driven towards the former stories.

The reason behind this move is that Women are more scared of the crimes that is happening in their neighborhood.  In order to prevent themselves of being a murdered victim, they are depending more on the scary books inorder to prepare themselves.

While writing in inaugural issue of Social Psychological and Personality Science by Sage, authors Amanda M. Vicary and R. Chris Fraley said a woman fears becoming the victim of a crime so she turns to true crime books in a possible effort to learn strategies and techniques to prevent becoming murdered.

However, with each true crime book she reads, this woman learns about another murderer and his victims, thereby increasing her awareness and fear of crime.

“It is not possible to state with certainty from these studies whether or not this vicious cycle occurs,” they said.

“But we do know that women, compared to men, have a heightened fear of crime despite the fact that they are less likely to become a victim,” they added.

I have been thinking on this for few time now, does  it really helps them of  not being a victim????

Women  For Women international  has  turned the life  of   poor and war wounded people  into a good one.  Looking in to their website the First thing a person can  see is  Sponsor now. They clearly like us to know that they organization depends on the contribution that people make.

Women for Women International is an organization that works to help women of war improve their lives. It was founded in 1993 when they first began their work in wart torn countries. The organization hopes to help all the women victims of war where ever it happens.

I just visited the website and the front page of the site has the following message:

According to the website womenforwomen.org, the countries which they concentrate are

• Afghanistan
• Bosnia and Herzegovina
• Democratic Republic of the Congo
• Iraq
• Kosovo
• Nigeria
• Rwanda
• Sudan

Also run for Congo Founder and Women for Women sponsor, Lisa Shannon, to be featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, today October 1st, 2009

Monkey Born from Two Mothers

The strangest of the strange has happened. This is what happens when you give a bunch of monkeys to Scientists. But yes, this is really advanced science. Looks like scientists have managed to produce monkeys with genetic material from two mothers. This would really help mothers having inheriting diseases give birth to a healthy child. Now that the good part is over, it will also led to a lot of legal problems, ethical and social concerns.

The monkeys were produced using cloning related techniques, where they found a way to replace the most of the genes in the eggs of one monkey with genes from another monkey. Then they began to fertilize the eggs with a sperm, transfered them back to the animal’s womb and produced healthy off-springs. This would’t have made the news if the off-springs were deformed, which the scientists somehow always manage to do.

“We believe this technique can be applied pretty quickly to humans and believe it will work,” said Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, who led the work, published online Wednesday by the journal Nature.

“This is of great importance. This approach will be beneficial to many families,” said Jan Smeitink, a professor of mitochondrial medicine at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands.

“With this you have potentially three genetic parents,” said David Magnus, director of Stanford University’s Center for Biomedical Ethics. “This will create the potential for legal and social conflicts.”

They say they have developed it for the benefit of women with DNA disorders who pass them to their off-springs also. But to me it just looks like they were playing with the genes and EUREKA! they managed to do something and made up a story.

Well, if it is indeed beneficial them its good. But they need to carry out more tests to confirm it. Cause this is just the output of one successful test. They are lots of chances for the off-springs to become deformed when they grow.

A wedding fire that took place in heart of kuwait kills atleast 41 women and children. The fire broke out in the time when Woman attended the wedding. Do remember, Kuwait treats differently the weddings.

The wedding ceremony  in the oil rich rich nation holds  separate parties for Men and Women. The fire broke out when the party was given to Women. Since children stay naturally with mother, the death toll is between them.

41 dead and atleast 76 injured due to fire.

The official Kuwait News Agency quotes the fire department chief, Brig. Gen. Jassem al-Mansouri, as saying 41 bodies have been recovered from the scene in Jahra, a tribal area west of Kuwait City. KUNA said 76 people have been hospitalized with burns.

Interior Ministry spokesman Col. Mohammed al-Saber said the cause of the fire has not been determined and authorities were having difficulty evacuating the injured because of relatives and onlookers flooding the scene.

He said Kuwait Army ambulances helped transport the injured to the country’s hospitals.
