Ronaldo is a broken man after Portugal's defeat
LISBON (AFP) - Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo confessed to being a broken man on Wednesday after his side's 1-0 defeat to Iberian rivals Spain in their World Cup Last 16 match on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Real Madrid star - who once again failed to live up to his club form for his country at a major championships - said he felt a deep sadness at the exit at the hands of the European champions, who progressed to a quarter-final meeting with Paraguay thanks to David Villa's fourth goal of the tournament.
"I feel a broken man, completely disconsolate, frustrated and an unimaginable sadness," he said in a statement released on the website of Gestifute, which is owned by his agent.
Ronaldo, whose side failed to score in three of their four matches save a 7-0 humbling of North Korea where he ended his near two year goal drought, also denied he insulted coach Carlos Queiroz.
He refused to answer questions save to remark to a TV crew 'How can I explain it (the defeat)? Ask the question of Carlos Queiroz'.
Ronaldo, who ended up trophyless at Real Madrid last season after his 94million euros transfer from Manchester United, was roundly criticised for that and for not assuming his responsibilities as the national captain.
"When I said put the question to the coach, it is just because Carlos Queiroz was holding a press conference," said Ronaldo, the 2008 World Footballer of the Year.
"I was not in a position to explain what was what. I am a human being, and like any human being I suffer and I have the right to suffer alone.
"I know that I am the captain, and I have always assumed and will assume my responsibilities."

Live Health
Our lives are subjected to risks of disability and death due to accidental and natural causes like flood, fire or earthquakes. Death or accidents causing permanent or temporary disability affects the income of a household. The family of the victim is placed in hardship. At times survival is at stake for the remaining family. During such a juncture life insurance is required. Risks are capricious. Accidents take place at a time when least expected. So, it is very essential for every individual to have a life insurance.
Human life is precious and its value can't be measured with a sum of money. Taking insurance is a step to compensate the family members of the insured person. You cant get your loved one back from death. But his sudden loss will never put you in difficulty if you have his life insured. Life insurance is a scheme, which assures a certain sum of money in the form of benefit to the dependants of the insured person. The life insurance schemes are designed in such a way so that a particular amount of money is given to the beneficiaries in case of sudden death of the insured person. So you can avoid complete loss of income in case of sudden death or accident of the insured person if you have a good policy planned beforehand... ....

Married kidsbriHealth Ministry HIV test shocker/i
Married kidsbriHealth Ministry HIV test shocker/i
KUALA LUMPUR: The concept of child marriage appears to be alive and well in Malaysia based on government statistics of premarital HIV screening for Muslims preparing to get married.
Last year, 479 children under 15 years, two of them boys, were getting ready to tie the knot. And 32 of them were below 10 years. None of them were found to be HIV-positive.This is based on Health Ministry statistics of premarital HIV screening for Muslims, a compulsory requirement for those wanting to get married.
However, it is not certain if any of these applications for marriage were approved by the state religious department.
Under the Syariah Family Law system in Malaysia, prospective brides and grooms —irrespective of age — have to apply for permission from their respective state religious departments to marry. In the application form is a section for HIV premarital screening, which has to be filled by a medical doctor.The result of the test does not affect the granting of permission. What’s shocking is that the doctors had signed off the forms for the children without batting an eyelid.
Malaysia is not a country that encourages child marriages. But neither does it outlaw it outright. Under Malaysian law, a Muslim girl below the age of 16 can marry, provided she has the consent of the syariah court. The syariah court is supposed to rule on each and every case and cannot give blanket permission.And under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act, which applies to non-Muslims, marriage is allowed only for people 18 years and above. However, a girl aged 16 years and above may marry, conditional upon a licence being obtained from the chief minister or menteri besar.This means that it is supposed to be very difficult for a Muslim girl under 16 to get married, and it is supposed to be impossible for a non-Muslim girl under 16 to get married at all.
However, according to the 2000 Census, there were 11,400 children below 15 years of age who were married — 6,800 girls and 4,600 boys. Of the 6,800 girls, only 2,450 were Malay. This means that the syariah court gave its consent to each of these 2,450 under-age girls to get married.The remainder of 4,350 girls were non-Malays comprising 1,550 other Bumiputera, 1,600 Chinese, 600 Indians, and 600 others. It is not known whether they hadgot their licence from the relevant minister, but even if they did, it would have been illegal, since there are no legal provisions for a non-Muslim under 16 years to get married.“We are deeply troubled by this issue and we are currently undertakingcomprehensive studies to provide a clearer picture of the incidence and frequency of child marriages across the board,” said Women, Family and CommunityDevelopment Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil when contacted by the New Sunday Times. “A child does not have the choice or capacity to give his/her full consent,and as such child marriages must be viewed within the context of force and coercion; an act that subjects the child to physical, social and psychological trauma and abuse, ” Shahrizat said. “At present the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry is not empowered to intervene in these matters unless an offence has been committed under the Child Act 2001 or, as provided by that same act, for the purposes ofchild protection where abuse is suspected.” The registration of Muslim marriages comes under the purview of the state religious authorities, while the registration of non-Muslim marriages comes under the National Registration Department. The minister said the ministrywould be undertaking a study on child marriage in Malaysia, which would serve as the basis for future legislative change.The phenomenon of child marriages may seem isolated when only one or two cases get reported in the news, such as the two girls in Kelantan recently. They were aged 10 and 11 years, and were allegedly married off to 40 and 41-yearoldmen respectively. But these are the controversial cases that make it into the public sphere. As the statistics show, child marriages are not isolated cases.This trend will have a head-on collision with the law soon, when Malaysia removes all its reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
This is because Article 16(2) of the convention, which deals specificallywith child marriage states: “The betrothal and the marriage of a child shall have no legal effect, and all necessary action, including legislation, shall be taken to specify a minimum age for marriage and to make the registration of marriages in an official registry compulsory.”Women’s Aid Organisation executive-director Ivy Josiah said the current laws needed to be amended, because it did not make sense for syariah and the civil LRA to be inconsistent with the Child Act 2001.“There is a serious flaw in our laws. Both the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Child Act define a child as a person below the age of 18.“It doesn’t make sense to allow children to get married. This goes against the grain of universal standards of human rights for children. These are not young marriages; they are child marriages.“The state has a duty to protect children, so it should get rid of these loopholes,” said Josiah.

When You Co-Sleep With Your Infant

You know you're good—but want to see how you rate on the sex scale? Find out if your skills are up to speed
Scenario: The baby is fast asleep in bed with you. You accidentally graze your husband's foot with yours, he rests his hand on your hip and before you know it, old flames are getting fired up. But what about the baby? The Rule: While experts agree that it's distressing for kids to be exposed to sex, a young infant in bed with you is more of a gray area. "If the child's younger than six months old, you probably don't need to worry," Dr. Michele Borba, author of The Big Book of Parenting Solutions, says. "It's unlikely there would be problems, only happy, contented parents." Read More http://www.ivillage.com/when-you-co-sleep-your-infant/6-b-139197#ixzz0qVWpRhmS Sign up for iVillage Special Offers

June 10, 1943: The Ballpoint Pen — Ink Dry for Me, Argentina
The Biro brothers made the ballpoint pen workable with a rotating ball that fits loosely enough to move smoothly and let the ink flow, but tightly enough to keep the rest of the ink in the cylinder.

1943: Brothers László and Georg Bíró, Hungarian refugees living in Argentina, patent the ballpoint pen. A half-century-old idea is coming to commercial fruition. Lewis Waterman's invention of a practical fountain pen, patented in 1884, had solved the problem of portability. You no longer had to carry around an inkwell to be able to write when and where you wanted. But the ink still took a while to dry and was subject to running and smudging. American banker John L. Loud patented a ballpoint pen in 1888. It used a ball-and-socket to deliver sticky, quick-drying ink. Too sticky: The ink was so coarse, it didn't really work well on paper. (It was a good idea on paper, except literally.) It did find industrial uses for writing on leather and cloth.
