    ► Mussolini's Rome bunker to open to the public. 12 July 2012 - The World War II bunker of Italy's fomer dictator, Mussolini, is set to open to the public. The bunker situated beneath his Rome mansion had been closed for years because of a build-up of dangerous gases in its subterranean depths.

    ►Jeff Ragsdale: The man who gave the world his number. 12 July 2012 - When Jeff Ragsdale went through a difficult break-up last year, he found himself isolated and alone in New York City. Desperate, he put his phone number on a flier along with a simple message: "If anyone wants to talk about anything, call me." He posted copies all across the city, and waited. The response was overwhelming, with thousands of calls coming from across the US and around the world. Jeff and two collaborators then transcribed the conversations, text messages and voice mails, publishing them in Jeff, One Lonely Guy.

Almira Izzati, Fairuz Azalia and 2 others like this.

Jan Pepijn Servaas: I'm not a Muslim but I'm not afraid of the "Other People"existence, anywhere on earth. Is this an open country but racist? Or a religious discrimination?
Astrid Adrienne : Naypyidaw was using the premise of "illegal migration management" and "control of population growth" to justify the persecution of this group, Jan. I think the reasons are not consistent with the evidence that the political participation of Muslims in the modern era in Arakan back to the 1930's, while the Mrauk U at the height of its golden age in the 17th century was the main trade routes in Asia, which was ruled by the Muslim sultans.
Astrid Adrienne : I think it is also not a consistent consideration, given that there were millions of Chinese who migrated to Myanmar in recent decades to become the strong players in the country's economy.
Jan Pepijn Servaas : Is then there a problem with the darker skin people (Muslims in Myanmar), or is their religion contrary to the Buddha's teachings?

Pranay Suresh: Ma'am, her name is Hyon Song-wol
Fairuz Azalia : C, I was disappointed by the silence of Aung San Suu Kyi. Why was she just speechless, blind eye, and deaf to the Rohingya Muslim massacres in her country? I doubt her, though she was promoting herself and was promoted as a beacon of democracy. What is the meaning of the Global Citizen's Award for her on 21 September this year? Has she really upheld the democracy and human rights? Or she's smiling in the news coverage on her just because the U.S. was willing to shake hands with her?
Astrid Adrienne : The situation is quite alarming, Jan, because this hostility occurs almost throughout the Myanmar political spectrum. In the reign of U Nu, they expelled the Burma Muslim Congress and made Buddhism as the state religion. Then when Ne Win came, he used a strong anti-Muslim propaganda during the mass expulsion of India people in the 1960s. He branded the tens of thousands of people brought to work by the British as colonial stooges, and exploited the anti-Muslim sentiment to ban Muslim in the army. The same key issues sparked anti-Chinese riots in late 1960s and 1970s was that Myanmar was a country that harmed because their work would be taken of strangers - who also encouraged the anti-India riots and anti-Muslim in 1930 and 1938. Ne Win's propaganda may still have an effect, given the level of permanent hatred and suspicion against Muslims, especially in the western part of the country. Generally they find some foreign habits, lack of integration and they don't like proselytizing. When I compare it to other groups, Myanmar Muslims can't get an education or a lot of international prestige associated with the Christian minority in the country, while the Christian Kachin and Karen have suffered terrible treatment. I think at least there are some mainstream of Myanmar Buddhist who respect their culture and religion, but such respect is rarely given to Muslim.
Astrid Adrienne : Fai, Suu Kyi who has been criticized for failing to address the spread of "ethnic problem" in Myanmar has urged the Buddhist majority to "have the sympathy of the minority" for the murder on June 3, but she refused to debate on this issue. She justified this by saying that her party "had to be careful to avoid things that could worsen the situation" - which might be true, but what can also be at stake is the risk she will lose the support of Buddhist population in Arakan.

Attractive Hyon Song-wol, who enjoyed chart success with the hit 'Excellent Hors e-like Lady' has been pictured accompanying the leader to a string of official engagements.
Almira Izzati : Maria makes me laugh...
Lakshmi Lavanya : I sympathize with Lynn, we may need counseling and training program for parents of children with disabilities, so that there is an increased awareness and the self quality of the parent in conducting training for their disabled child without having to rely on institutions alone. I hope that with persuasive communication in the counseling program is expected to affect the attitudes of parents in fostering children with disabilities. Besides, their socioeconomic factors also affect their attitude to have children with disabilities.
Astrid Adrienne : Izti, look, they also wear the hijab as Muslim women.


Adriaan Zef : I love you honey.
