THE POWER OF A WOMAN

"Then was woman made the greatest thing in this world. She was given the power to bring into this world offsprings that would multiply and the nation would grow and the people would have leaders and friends, and colleagues and life would be worth while." (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)

Perfect lines that tell us that we as WOMEN have a right to be here and that we are the reason so much happens in this world.

Ladies, look at yourselves and see the power of a woman who can move mountains, claim hearts and destroy those who try to destroy us. We are POWER. We are LIFE. We are EARTH. WE ARE!!!

You must look at yourself and see the real YOU. You must be able to say everyday, "I AM WOMAN. I AM FREE. I CAN DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS NEEDED TO BE DONE!"

Have a great day and remember:
"The power of a woman is as strong as she is." (Brenda A. Ysaguirre)

COUNLDN'T THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER OF BELIZE BE A WOMAN?

I WAS THINKING. WHAT IF THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER OF BELIZE WAS A WOMAN?

LADIES OUT THERE, DON'T YOU THINK IT IS TIME FOR US TO HAVE MORE THAN AN AVERAGE SAY IN THE RUNNING OF THINGS IN BELIZE?

AR YOU READY? I KNOW I AM.

YOUR COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND REMEMBER THIS IS THE MONTH OF PATRIOTIC CELEBRATIONS IN BELIZE.
LET US UNITE FOR A BETTER BELIZE AND ONE WHERE FREEDOM WILL FOREVER REIGN.

MUCH LOVE,
Brenda

TU EDAD Y COMIENDO EN RESTAURANTES

YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT

Don't tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway-but

your waiter may know!


YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH


This is pretty neat



DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!


It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read.

Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!

This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.


1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat.

(more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758...

If you haven't, add 1757.

6.. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number


The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)


The next two numbers are



YOUR AGE ! ------ (Oh YES, it is!)



THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2008) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS

WHY DRINKING IS DANGEROUS FOR WOMEN

Greece dangerous for British women
ATHENS, Greece (UPI) -- So many British women have been sexually assaulted in Greece the Foreign Office has launched a campaign to educate tourists about the danger.

So far this year, 41 women have been attacked, The Daily Mail reported. Police in Greece say the number of reported assaults on British women this year has run at about 10 per month during the peak tourist season, and they expect that by Sept. 15, the number will have surpassed the previous record of 48 set in 2005-2006.

Relative to the number of British tourists, Greece appears to be the most dangerous place in the world for women. Greek police say British men, usually drunk, are responsible for the largest number of attacks, followed by Eastern European immigrant workers and then by Greeks.

Greek police describe British women as more likely to drink heavily than other tourists and also more naive about strangers. They say many rapes may not be reported.

The Foreign Office has begun distributing beer mats, posters and leaflets in resorts where British tourists congregate, warning women of the potential dangers.

IRAQ WOMEN GO FOR THE POLICE FORCE

Female cop class unprecedented in Iraq
KIRKUK, Iraq (UPI) -- An unprecedented number of Iraqi women have started training to become police officers at the Kirkuk Police Academy, officials say.

The 37 female recruits who began their training Saturday are the first women at the academy in a year and their numbers are unprecedented, the American Forces Press Service reported Monday.

An academy officer said female officers are badly needed because Muslim customs do not allow men to touch women. The female officers will allow searches of women at checkpoints and government buildings, he said.

In addition, the academy officer said, "women think differently than men. They will bring fresh ideas to how we conduct business."

For the recruits, becoming a police officer is both a chance to earn a good wage and to serve their country. They hold no truck with terrorists.

"Terrorists are not welcome in the province of Kirkuk," said one 29-year-old recruit who goes by the name Intesar. "They are not Iraqis; they are not Muslim. It is not our way. They are mad."

An Iraqi police recruit earns about 185,000 Iraqi dinars monthly -- about $81 in U.S. currency -- and after graduating will make 500,000 dinar -- about $360.

The female recruits must meet the same standards as men to graduate.

SOM MEN JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WOMEN

Guy's rights' lawyer hits women's studies
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- A lawyer who describes himself as a "guy's rights" advocate has filed a lawsuit over the women's studies program at Columbia University in New York.

Roy Den Hollander, an alumnus of the Columbia Business School who practices in Manhattan, has already sued New York nightclubs, claiming that "ladies nights" are unconstitutional. Another pending suit is aimed at the federal Violence Against Women Act.

Den Hollander said that the university is using federal aid to spread a "religionist belief system called feminism," The New York Times reports. He also called women's studies "a bastion of bigotry against men."

In his practice, Den Hollander spends much of his time representing men in litigation, The Times said, and describes himself as specializing in "anti-feminist cases or guys' rights cases."

In addition to Columbia, the suit names as defendants the U.S. Department of Education and three New York state agencies, the Board of Regents, the Department of Education and the Higher Education Services Corp.

In the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan, Den Hollander demands that the university either start a men's studies program or shut women's studies down.
