UN raises women work ban with Taliban
The United Nations has recently raised concerns over the Taliban's ban on women working outside of the home in Afghanistan. The Taliban, who held power in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, are currently participating in peace negotiations with the Afghan government. However, the group's strict interpretation of Islamic law has led to the restriction of women's rights, including a ban on women working outside of the home.

Don't Ask My Social Media
Can we really find out about a person's true character by what he or she post on social media? Me personally, my number one slogan is never to follow me on social media, it might stress the follower out. Granted people use social media for various reasons from dating to business. However, can anyone gather a full understanding of an individual be just reviewing a social media page? This is a very debatable subject, but I beg to differ that there is a clear understand about anyone by just reviewing a few posts or tweets. I have been dismissed or misquoted more than enough times than I can remember and that was truly her loss, and at some times, I dodged a major bullet.

Outcast Island
It was that time of year again. The festival of the gods. All the Islands celebrated it. Every year the celebrations and the sacrifices were different. Every 5th year, the 'outcast gods' had to be appeased. They required all islands to cast sticks amongst the terminally ill, the mentally unstable, the deformed, and those already outcast by their tribe. Those who lost the draw, were rowed ceremoniously to the farthest and smallest of the islands, abandoned until death by starvation removed them from further misery in the world.

Thai Monks Failed Drug Tests
A Thai temple in Northern Thailand has been left without its Buddhist monks after the entire monastery was found to have been using methamphetamine. In response to orders to investigate drug use in Phetchabun province, local law enforcement and the village headman in Bung Sam Phan subdistrict searched schools, factories, and even temples in search of signs indicating drug use and distribution so those involved could be sent to rehabilitation facilities. Law enforcement officials were shocked to find out that Thai monks also struggled with addiction.

sitting on the ground in all sorts of places
Life can be such a dick sometimes. Six months ago, life decided to deliver me a hard lesson, and I've been reeling ever since. Worse than reeling, truth be told. More like lying on the ground, bruised and battered, after being thrown down a flight of stairs.
