Bookmarklets for Opera mini
Who does not know about Opera web browser? Those who surf net with their mobile phone are even more familiar with opera because opera’s mobile browsers are the best. For low end java mobile users opera mini is as familiar as google search engine. Opera has came up with 5.1 version for quite a while now. But a large portion of mobile phone with java functionality users still use opera mini 4.2 for its plain and simple using facility. I personally like opera mini 4.2 more than opera mini 5.1.

What should be done to prevent Eve Teasing?
Everyday I find news in the electronic and print media of bangladesh that another woman was harassed by persons such as hormone raged teenagers to professional street thugs. Eve teasing has become one of the most burning issues of the country. The abrupt rise in eve teasing, killing by the desperate eve teasers of collage teacher and a mother who courageously protested against them proves that law and order is deteriorating day by day. College and school going girls frequently facing vulgar words by the teasers.
To speak the truth, women gets severe maltreatment in a least developed country like Bangladesh where govt is taking different strategies and policies to empower women in all spheres of life. Nevertheless, exploitation and oppression against them are on the rise. Moreover, birth of girl children is not warmly welcomed and recognised due to superstition and misinterpretation of religion. It is also true that our socio-economic condition is not yet favourable for women to develop them.
In this regard, the outlook of the young boys should be completely changed by family members so that they behave with the young girls in friendly and respectful manner and do not indulge in violence against them. Different socio-cultural organisations need to chalk out elaborte programmes highlighting the negative impacts of eve teasing to make the young generation conscious.
But above all is The law enforcement. The laws are there, quietly sitting on the papers without being disturbed by us. This should end. Police and Legal system should take stern actions against the eve-teasers and sexual harassers and bring them to justice. ONLY THEN eve teasing can be affectively curbed down.
Iraq war logs exposes human rights abuses

The UN has called on Barack Obama to order a full investigation of US forces' involvement in human rights abuses in Iraq after a massive leak of military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes.
The call, by the UN's chief investigator on torture, Manfred Nowak, came as Phil Shiner, human rights specialist at Public Interest Lawyers in the UK, warned that some of the deaths documented in the Iraq war logs could have involved British forces and would be pursued through the UK courts. He demanded a public inquiry into allegations that British troops were responsible for civilian deaths during the conflict.
The Guardian has analysed the 400,000 documents, the biggest leak in US military history, and found 15,000 previously unreported civilian deaths. The logs show how US authorities failed to investigate hundreds of reports of abuse, torture, rape and murder by Iraqi police and soldiers whose conduct appears to be systematic and generally unpunished.
Nowak said that if the files released through WikiLeaks pointed to clear violations of the UN Convention Against Torture the Obama administration had an obligation to investigate them.
The logs paint a disturbing picture of the relationship between US and Iraqi forces. Nowak said that UN human rights agreements obliged states to criminalise every form of torture, whether directly or indirectly, and to investigate any allegations of abuse.
Speaking on the BBC's Today programme, Nowak, who has spent years investigating allegations of US participation in extraordinary rendition and the abuse of detainees held by coalition forces, said the Obama administration had a legal and moral obligation to fully investigate credible claims of US forces' complicity in torture.
A failure to investigate, Nowak suggested, would be a failure of the Obama government to recognise its obligations under international law. He said the principle of "non-refoulement" prohibited states from transferring detainees to other countries that could pose a risk to their personal safety.
