Wild passion can be dangerous, especially when it comes from extremist groups like the al-Qaeda. Their latest weapon, according to The US Army is to deploy women for terrorist attacks, as women have the advantage of becoming almost sure shot live weapons, both emotionally and physically! Captain Matthew Shown, the intelligence officer for Sabre Squadron, 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armoured Cavalry Regiment, which is based in southeast Diyala, Baghdad, says,

Some Women are easy prey because their husband or children have been killed or detained by US forces. They will try to use whatever works best for them to attempt to exploit whatever political or cultural restrictions we have. Now they’ve adapted to try to use female suicide bombers.

It is to be noted here that it is almost impossible to frisk females for carrying weapons or bombs due the cultural and religious bindings by the male security staff and there are very few women in the army to be always present wherever needed! Moreover, these women attackers are generally so emotionally charged in the name of Jihad, blackmail, lust or love that they are able to camouflage their evil plan so well, that no one can make out what lies beneath their innocent faces.

To exploit their services, the al-Qaeda members even go to the extent of marrying women and then letting other men rape them. The dishonoured women have no options but to end their lives and they easily fall prey to becoming suicide bombers! The terrorists even kidnap their children and threaten them to kill the children if they refuse to help them. In such a situation, these women have no option left but to be an active aid in their terror plan.

However, the US Military is trying hard to combat this problem. It is hiring women guards to stand at every check post so that they can do a full body search of these women and thus avert attacks. The women guards will join about 80,000 men. They protect their neighbourhood under a programme that has lured many former Sunni insurgents to turn against al-Qaeda.

I am not sure how many of you would want to sport Paris Hilton’s cascading hair but it would be like a dream come true to get your mane styling done in Paris Hilton’s exclusive hair saloon. Hilton has named her new line of hair extensions the ‘Dream Catchers’ and advertising it full fledged. Obviously, she herself is the model, showcasing her body more than her hair! The tag line goes as, ‘The World’s Best Hair Extensions’, and that would definitely mean purse crunching rates!

Well, are you always ready to take the first road out? Do you love outdoor adventure and thrills: Rock –climbing, Trekking Expeditions, White Water Rafting, Skiing, Nature Trails, Wildlife Safaris and more. Do you believe that there’s an exciting new world waiting to be explored? If, yes, than, you definitely are an ardent traveler and nature lover. But, wait; does that make you an eco-tourist? Read this and find out for yourself!

Just joining tour operators, who promise eco-tourism does not make one an eco-tourist. This is a concept which has to be believed and felt from within.

says Aloke Bajpai, CEO, The Explorers, a Mumbai based Adventure tour outlet.

Going on nature trails and exploring natures’ unexplored and virgin beauty is not enough, practicing eco-friendliness is equally important. Many travellers litter garbage, plastic bags and bottles on the way without giving it a second thought. Keeping the surroundings clean and pure is an important part of eco-tourism.

Besides, paying up a huge some of money to a travel outlet which takes care of all your needs and also plans your trip, it sometimes bars you from a lot of amazing experience. According to the Kiwi travel writer, Heather Hapeta, ‘Eco-tourism is an activity that has minimum impact while providing maximum benefits to the locals.’ He opines that independent travellers are most likely the closest to being real eco-travellers. By staying in cheaper, locally-owned accommodation, eating at small food outlets and using local transport, they leave much of their travel money in the country. Not only this. By doing so, they also get to visit places that are not on the tourist trail and can get to know people and absorb the local flavours. So, are you ready for an actual eco-tour?

Lindsay Lohan has been reported to have desperately wanting a natural baby. Apparently, her partner Samantha Ronson could not be of any help to her lady love in this. Lohan, it seems, have requested Ronson to get in touch with some of her ex boy friends and find out if anyone is willing to do Lohan a favour, either by becoming a sperm donor or may be by laying her and thereby making conception a natural process! Good luck Lohan! But the question which pops in my head is what relation will Ronson have with the baby? Considering, it is she and Lohan who want to start a family of their own!

The libido damper
Many women sail through their menopause with very few symptoms, or if they are extremely lucky, none at all. However, a large proportion of women experience some of the physical or psychological symptoms. Some menopausal symptoms can temporarily hamper a woman’s ability to enjoy a fulfilling sex life. Symptoms like night sweats and hot flushes can be counterproductive to relaxation and romance. Relative oestrogen deficiency can bring about vaginal dryness and thinning of the vaginal lining. The lack of lubrication and support for the vaginal walls can reduce arousal during sex and increase friction, which in turn may produce soreness, burning or irritation. Psychological symptoms such as mood swings, insomnia and depression can compound physical effects. Even women who used to initiate sex with their partners may determinedly avoid it, although many say that once they do make love, they are surprised that they enjoy it. Husbands may feel rejected at this time and relationship difficulties can arise. But despite its psychological dimensions, menopause is a physical event.

Nevertheless the heroine, as well as the vamp, of this drama is oestrogen. Oestrogen is actually a ‘feel-good’ hormone and women grow accustomed to its high. When regular doses of oestrogen disappear the crash landing may be a hard one. The good news is that all these problems can usually be remedied,

informs Dr. Usha Dubey, a professor in Life science, who has also done some research on the subject.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
HRT consists of natural or synthetic female sex hormones that replace the hormones a woman loses around the menopause. It comes in the form of tablets, patches or gels and always contains oestrogen (either in a natural or synthetic form). HRT can improve many symptoms of the menopause that can hinder a satisfactory sex life. Vaginal dryness, loss of lubrication, soreness, irritation and vulnerability to bacterial infections and thrush may all be vastly improved by HRT. Hot flushes and night sweats may also be banished.
Many studies have suggested that low-dose testosterone is effective and well worth trying for postmenopausal women who have low sexual drive. The therapy seems of particular value for women who have a surgical menopause (which occurs when both ovaries need to be removed surgically) at a relatively young age.

The bright side
It is now known that women have at least the same ability as men to enjoy sex, plus the additional advantage of retaining their capacity to have several orgasms one after another until much later in life. Young men are capable of frequent love-making, but as they get older they become satisfied with less frequent love-making. Ironically, many women discover a renewed or even redoubled libido if they start taking hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms and not uncommonly report that their husbands can no longer keep up with their sexual demands.

For many post-menopausal women, the fact that their husbands take longer to reach a climax becomes a bonus; it makes love-making far more enjoyable than when they were younger and everything seemed to be over in a matter of breathless seconds. This provides time to explore new sensations and enjoy a variety of feelings,

explains Bangalore based psychologist Neelam Saraswat.

The Magic of touch
After the menopause, touching and intimacy often become more important than the physical pleasure of penetrative sex. This need to touch and be touched, physically and emotionally, is well worth nurturing. Such contact offers reassurance and comfort and the opportunity to show tenderness, companionship and love.

Around the menopause, the physical focus of sex tends to be overtaken by the emotional, social and spiritual ingredients of love, as the couple and the relationship become more mature. Remember that there are many expressions of love other than sexual intercourse and all can boost confidence and enhance feelings of self-esteem and worth,

confirms Saraswat.

Be Cautioned

Hormone Replacement Therapy is safe if given for a suitable patient under close supervision of a gynecologist. It does help to increase the libido after menopause but it should not be prescribed just for this particular reason. It is effective only if given for at least six months to few years. It is expensive but if you look at the benefits, they are great. For example, it increases the mental concentration, the bone density and in general the feeling of well being.

says Dr Madhu Rao, Senior Gynecologist,
