Her moodiness and need for drama are also part of her allure.""A pink bra denotes a personality that is romantic and gentle and in need of affection. She is feminine, sensuous and would never take the lead."'A black bra denotes a personality that is individualistic and powerful, as well as sultry.

Taiwan Plans to Decriminalise The Sex Trade

A Chinese police officer interrogates a group of suspects detained during a raid on a karaoke bar in Beijing on October 11, 2010. Police officials said that most of the nightlife spots offering prostitutes to clients were run by organised crime gangs, as following 30 years of booming economic growth, prostitution -- once nearly wiped out in China following the 1949 communist revolution -- has flourished.
TAIPEI, KOMPAS.com - Taiwan’s government said Thursday it plans to decriminalise the sex trade by allowing prostitutes to open small-scale businesses. The authorities have been mulling various measures, including the creation of special sex zones, to regulate the trade amid criticism of the existing law, which punishes only sex workers but lets their customers off the hook.The law is due to expire in late 2011, and the interior ministry has proposed new rules allowing small brothels operated by individuals or by groups of three to five sex workers. However, the ministry has ruled out setting up red-light districts or allowing larger companies due to opposition from experts concerned that it would turn the sex trade into a regular industry, it said in a statement.The ministry said it will submit the proposal to the cabinet’s human rights committee for approval by the end of this year after collecting more feedback from the public. A poll released by the ministry in February found that the majority of Taiwanese were in favour of creating special sex zones.Under existing laws, prostitutes face three days in jail or a fine of up to 30,000 Taiwan dollars (950 US dollars) if they are caught providing sexual services. Their clients go unpunished.While there is no official figure for the scale of Taiwan’s sex industry, observers estimate it involves hundreds of thousands of people and generates annual revenues of up to 60 billion Taiwan dollars./ halaman berikutnya-->

Security risk: According to new research, a quarter of private wireless networks do not have a password
KOMPAS.com - Wireless internet networks in millions of homes can be hacked in less than five seconds, a study claims today. The wi-fi hacking means criminals can spy on the activities of families, perhaps stealing their identity and banking details to raid their accounts.The hackers could also use the wi-fi access to tap into illegal pornography or upload and download stolen music and movies without being traced. An ‘ethical hacking’ experiment in six cities, using freely available software, found almost 40,000 home wi-fi networks at high risk.Separately, there are concerns about the security of those who use free wi-fi networks offered by coffee shops and other businesses. The study, commissioned by card protection and insurance firm CPP, highlights a ‘cavalier’ attitude to keeping data safe.According to the findings, nearly a quarter of private wireless networks has no password attached, making them immediately accessible to criminals. This is despite 82 per cent of Britons thinking their network is secure.The report also found that hackers were able to ‘harvest’ usernames and passwords from unsuspecting people at a rate of more than 350 an hour, sitting in coffee shops and restaurants.Nearly a fifth of wireless users say they regularly use public networks. CPP fraud expert Michael Lynch, said: ‘We urge all wi-fi users to remember that any information they volunteer through public networks can easily be visible to hackers.’
