Pictures of the Protests in Egypt - Women in the Focus

I guess everyone heard, read or watched already a lot about the recent protests which happened in January in Tunisia and now in Egypt. But not many of the international press and media (and completely to forget about the Egyptian press) are focusing on the women behind the protests. The number of the women are now growing as they see a big chance for themselves to claim more rights and achieving a much better life in freedom.

No matter in which Egyptian city you look (Cairo, Alexandria and many more), wherever there is and has been a protest women are taking part and not only in the background. More and more of them are brave enough to show up in the first row or even in confrontation with the military like the following pictures will show you!

Blessed be the people in Egypt, so that they may receive the freedom for which they are fighting!

Cruel Dog abuse in Malaysia - video by Doreen Loo

These days a video about a cruel and horrific way to teach their puppy dog to stand appeared in the Asian television & newspapers and is spreading like wildfire in Facebook and Twitter.

There's even a hunt going on for the persons who are involved in these cruel poodle puppy abuse. It seems to be a couple from Malaysia as the video was found on a pendrive in KLCC shopping complex (Kuala Lumpur in the Petronas Twin Towers) Their names seems to be Doreen Loo (the girl friend who took the video), (dog abuser) Champ Alan or Allan Tan.

More information about this couple, still pictures of the video and the involved persons + a 5 minute video of the horrific poodle dog abuse can be found on the Ye5-Blog.

Twitter: How to get ReTweets to thousands of followers FOR FREE!

Image via Wikipedia

What was your first feeling when you become member of Twitter and had 0 followers? I bet you wanted to know how you could increase your followers at least to 10 or 50 within a special time frame. The reason for this is everybody would like to have its tweets read or being mentioned by others in a small talk or even retweeted one of your tweets and with 0 followers no one usually will read your tweets. To increase your personal accounts visibility it's necessary that you interact with other members.

Follow members in your niche and with your interests
Mention these members on several occasions (send a tweet as soon as they follow you, on #followfriday #ff or by exchanging your thoughts on their tweets)
List members who are interesting (you can create 20 different lists/topics) or who you appreciate to be listed (as you list them, many will list you too and you get to be seen by hundreds of other members, too)
Join the secrect club of automatic Retweeters so that your tweet will reach thousands of followers each day for FREE!

The list of the secret club of automatic Retweeters and how you get a Retweet from them!

Take care - these account will mention your nickname automatically, so you can only send them a DM with less than 120 characters (instead of 140), otherwise they cut off important informations at the end of your tweet (like your link)

VIDEO: San Bruno Gas Explosion in California caught on tape

On 9th September 2010 an unbelievable natural gas pipeline explosion happened at the rural area of San Bruno in California.

Today the video footage of an surveillance security camera from a nearby Gas station which caught the fire blast of this San Bruno, California Natural Gas pipeline explosion has been published by Associated Press - This is the first footage after the 30-inch diameter PG&E Corp. Gas pipeline explosion happened.

The Gas explosion did cost 8 persons their lives (as of 30th September - more updates at the end of the post). Over 50 houses are inhabitable or destroyed, around 300 houses have little or no damage.
PG&E Corp. did setup a relief fund with $100 million to support residents and city facilities (not included claims for injuries or wrongful death).

First live videos reports of the Gas pipe explosion (9th September 20 - 30 minutes after the explosion happened) taken from a Chopper concluded that it was most likely a plane crash that caused the fires in an entire neighborhood of San Bruno (CBS NEWS).
