Afghanistan Beyond the Headlines: Women, Youth, and War
June 24, 2013
As the United States approaches its 2014 deadline for military withdrawal from Afghanistan, one often overshadowed aspect of the conflict is the hard-won progress made by previously marginalized segments of the Afghan population, particularly women, girls, and young people.
Afghanistan has one of the highest proportions of young people in the world – many of whom have known only war. The median age of the population is 15.6 years old, the median age of marriage is 18, and half of mothers surveyed during a country-wide mortality survey had their first child when they were teenagers.
But “while more than 70 percent of Afghanistan’s population are under 25 years of age, young people’s voices are rarely heard,” said Maiwand Rahyab, Counterpart International’s deputy director of Afghanistan.
“Let’s not be naïve about the current reality,” Rahyab said at the Wilson Center. “Afghan society is conservative and hierarchical,” making it difficult for young people to contribute meaningfully to policymaking and government reform. But over the last decade, there have been improvements in schooling, health, and opportunities for young people, which he and other panelists described during a special half-day event on June 24, “Afghanistan Beyond the Headlines: Women, Youth, and the War.”

Click through to see the damning photos that support this report. I cannot find anything else about this, no one in the American corporate media has touched it. But it reminds me of the faked photos and testimony in the Kuwait invasion that led America to go in the short war begun by the first President Bush.
One Nun Puts Entire US Intel Community to Shame Over ‘Stage-managed' Syria Footage
MAHDI DARIUS NAZEMROAYA – RT (Russia)
The US intelligence community has been put to shame by the dedication and determination of a lone Christian nun. Her modest study of the videos of the Syrian chemical attack shows they were productions involving staged bodies.
Those who take the time to read the report by Mother Agnes and the International Support Team for Mussalaha in Syria (ISTEAMS) will realize that it disgraces the entire US intelligence community for endorsing video footage that is clearly dubious and not credible upon careful study by even a layperson.

This is about infotention — “combination of the right kind of practice and the right kind of tools.” I share thesis whisperer's enthusiasm for Scrivener for long projects or even short writing projects that have many moving parts.
“Significant gains in writing productivity can be gained by a combination of the right kind of practice and the right kind of tools. I’ve written about many of these tools and techniques previously, but I’ve organised all the advice here into a three step program, with links to useful resources.
Review your writing tools
Often the ‘industry standard’ software is not the best tool for the job. Take Word processors as just one example. You must move back and forth over the text to achieve flow and make sure everything is in the right place. If you can move around your documents more easily your writing speed will increase. Unfortunately the industry default, MS Word, does not, out of the box, perform this task well.
Anyone who has been reading this blog for a while will know this is the key reason I am a huge Scrivener fan. Scrivener is a different kind of word processor that enables you to write ‘chunks’ and move them around easily…”

MicroMappers Launched for Pakistan Earthquake Response (Updated)
Update: MicroMappers is now public! Anyone can join to help the efforts!
MicroMappers was not due to launch until next month but my team and I at QCRI received a time-sensitive request by colleagues at the UN to carry out an early test of the platform given yesterday’s 7.7 magnitude earthquake, which killed well over 300 and injured hundreds more in south-western Pakistan.

See link in message below. Graphic British media reporting. Comments at bottom are from Marine Colonel who sent to me. Stuff like this also happened in Vietnam; village chiefs were a frequent target. Believe it would be naive to believe it could not happen here in U.S. Don't think we have a good handle on who is exploiting narco smuggling routes north from Mexico. No reason I know of to believe it could not be AQ, TB, LH, or IRGC (Quds Force)
