"I Love My Man But He Doesn't Satisfy Me In The Bedroom"

I’ve been in a relationship for 2 years now. We live together and both work full-time. He has a great family and our families like both of us and both of us together.

Well, my sex life sucks. Normally you hear men complain about women or their wives not giving it up. Well in this instance it’s completely the other way around. We have a 7 year age difference. He’s 30 and I’m 23. He’s never been married nor does he bare any children (other qualities that attracted me to him).
Well, when it comes to sex, we speak a totally different language. I’m a very sexual and affectionate person. I love to kiss, touch, etc. Basically do things that people in love and relationships do. Well he’s not into any of that. When it comes to kissing, he’s a pecker. When it comes to touching, he doesn’t. I’m an attractive woman so I’ve asked numerous of times is he still attracted to me, and he says yes, but I couldn’t tell from our sex life.
Let me give you two scenarios before we have sex or I attempt to have sex. I’ll ask if he wants to and he’ll make that, “I don’t care” face. What person do you know does that? Then he’ll be like, “I’m watching TV” or, “I’m tired,” and it takes me getting upset for him to be like, “Oh, alright then,”.
Next scenario, we’ll be in bed or on the couch and I’ll initiate by kissing or touching on him and he’s ready in a flash, but when it comes to turning me on or getting me in the mood he does nothing. He expects me to just be ready like that. I tell him that I’m a woman and you have to get me in the mood. It always falls upon deaf ears, so needless to say that I have to use some hand action for myself, then it goes down and 5 minutes later it’s over. I then look at him like let’s go at it again, and he’ll be like, “Let me rest.” I have needs also.
Everything else is okay in our relationship except our sex lives. I need your advice. Should sex be a reason to stay or leave a relationship?

Woman Beaten To Death For Having Extra-Marital Affair

A woman in Bihar, India was executed in public after a local village panchayat (village administrative body) handed her a “death sentence” for having alleged extra-marital affair with a local youth.

The incident occurred at Asiyani village in Purnia district, more than 300 kilometres east of Patna, the capital of Bihar state, at the weekend but was reported by the local media only on Tuesday.

Media reports said the local Tiyarpara village panchayat took a serious notice of the “offence” after it was informed that the 32-year-old Bibi Shahzadi, a mother of three, was having extra-marital affair with a local youth. The victim’s husband works in a factory in Ludhiana (Punjab).
Soon after the matter became public, the village panchayat tried the victim at its court, and after finding her guilty of “illicit relationship”, sentenced her to death. Subsequently, she was beaten to death at the village court in the presence of local villagers as no one dared to protest. “She was executed in public but no one dared to oppose”, a local villager who witnessed the horrible scene told the local media.
Locals said the victim was an educated woman with a Maulvi degree (equivalent to intermediate degree) who had been helping the impoverished women by running a self-help group for them. Her group was imparting the poor women training in sewing and weaving to make them self-reliant.
Taking the matter seriously, the local police have ordered an investigation into the case to bring the culprits to book.

NATO Warns Syria Against Using Chemical Weapons On Protesters

Any use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad during the ongoing uprising to overthrow his government will draw "an immediate reaction" from the world community, NATO's chief has said.

Secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen's warning on Tuesday came as Syrian forces continued to hit rebel districts near Damascus, while state media reported that rebel forces had hit a school, killing dozens of children.

"The possible use of chemical weapons would be completely unacceptable for the whole international community and if anybody resorts to these terrible weapons, I would expect an immediate reaction from the international community," Rasmussen told reporters at the start of a meeting of alliance foreign ministers in Brussels.

Heavily armed mobile policemen have been deployed in the troubled riverine town of Agbere, in Sagbama Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the theatre of Tuesday’s violent youth skirmish, during which property worth millions of naira was destroyed.

Though community sources claimed that 11 persons lost their lives in the clash, the police, yesterday, confirmed the death of one youth in the violence.

Meanwhile, the state Police Commissioner, Mr. Kins Omire, has described as “brazen illegality and violent” the Tuesday attack and burning down of houses by youths over chieftaincy tussle in the community.

Omire, who visited the troubled community, yesterday, said: “Four houses owned by the paramount ruler were burnt and another chief had his own burnt too. Report we had earlier was that there were killings recorded but when we got to the place, we saw that only a teenage boy was killed. We are confident that these brazen acts of illegality caused by jobless youths, will be dealt with.”

He said six persons had been arrested over their alleged involvement in the killing and in the arson.

Omire, who recounted how he led armed mobile policemen to the community to dislodge the rampaging youths, said though the police authorities had established, from investigations that the community was known for perennial violence and communal clashes, added that Tuesday’s action was a brazen display of criminality.

The oil rich community, which is host to Nigerian Agip Oil Company and Shell Petroleum and Development Company was rocked by violence Tuesday over alleged chieftaincy tussle.

Gunmen suspected to be members of Boko Haram, killed at least two policemen on Sunday during their attack and burning of churches and border posts on Sunday.
Residents said about 50 gunmen in cars and on motorcycles carried out the attacks on three churches and border posts, opening fire on police and chanting Allahu Akbar (God is Greatest).
It was learnt that among the security posts burnt in the Sunday’s attack were offices of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigerian Customs Service and the State Security Service as well as a quarantine building in Gamboru Ngala, about 140 kilometres from Maiduguri.
Hamidu Ahmad, a resident, said the gunmen went into town “chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and burnt down the divisional police station and three churches”.
“I saw two bodies in police uniform not far from the police station. One of them was sprawled by the roadside while the other was seated in a police van,” resident Sani Kani said.
Another eyewitness said it was not immediately clear whether worshippers were in the churches at the time of the attacks.
Residents reported gun battles between the assailants and police reinforcements who arrived from Maiduguri.
Police and the Army could not immediately be reached for comment

The right to go jogging in the nude has been upheld by the High Court in New Zealand.
Andrew Lyall Pointon, 47, was wearing only a pair of shoes when he was spotted by a woman while running at 8.30am in a forest near Tauranga in August last year. She called police and he was arrested during another nude run.
Pointon was charged with offensive behaviour and found guilty in Tauranga District Court last December. An appeal was thrown out in June, but a second appeal has just been upheld in the High Court at Tauranga.
'If it was offensive then God wouldn't have given us genitals,' Mr Pointon said. 'It is a win for all libertarians and a setback for all conservatives in the country.'
The judge compared the situation to passing 'gang members' walking through the park. He said: 'It would not be surprising for a person in the position of the complainant to be concerned and discomforted by their presence, and even to feel threatened.
'However, on any view, their behaviour would not be regarded as offensive behaviour.
'Should the sight of a naked man, in the circumstances in which the complainant found herself, be treated any differently? I think not.'
He added that he felt Pointon was 'a genuine naturist' who had taken measures to avoid disturbing others - such as choosing a time when children would be unlikely to be on the track.

Naturist Mr Pointon said he enjoyed the freedom of not wearing clothes and began running naked about 18 months ago.
The complainant, who was out walking her dog when she spotted Pointon, said she was so offended that she did not wish to ever return to the Oropi Bike Park.
But Pointon lashed out at the woman who complained. He said: 'It's just ludicrous. Has this person got nothing better to do than wasting everyone's time?
'All she saw was a naked man running through the bush. It was just a fleeting moment, which has cost us all.
'It just shows that it was a stupid decision by police to go ahead ... and charge me for something totally irrelevant.'

A band is a small section of the spectrum of radio communication frequencies, in which channels are usually used or set aside for the same purpose.
Above 300 GHz, the absorption of electromagnetic radiation by Earth's atmosphere is so great that the atmosphere is effectively opaque, until it becomes transparent again in the near-infrared and optical window frequency ranges.
To prevent interference and allow for efficient use of the radio spectrum, similar services are allocated in bands. For example, broadcasting, mobile radio, or navigation devices, will be allocated in non-overlapping ranges of frequencies.
Each of these bands has a basic bandplan which dictates how it is to be used and shared, to avoid interference and to set protocol for the compatibility of transmitters and receivers.
As a matter of convention, bands are divided at wavelengths of 10ⁿ metres, or frequencies of 3×10ⁿ hertz. For example, 30 MHz or 10 m divides shortwave (lower and longer) from VHF (shorter and higher). These are the parts of the radio spectrum, and not its frequency allocation.

ITU

The ITU radio bands are designations defined in the ITU Radio Regulations. Article 2, provision No. 2.1 states that "the radio spectrum shall be subdivided into nine frequency bands, which shall be designated by progressive whole numbers in accordance with the following table^[2]".
The table originated with a recommendation of the IVth CCIR meeting, held in Bucharest in 1937, and was approved by the International Radio Conference held at Atlantic City in 1947. The idea to give each band a number, in which the number is the logarithm of the approximate geometric mean of the upper and lower band limits in Hz, originated with B.C. Fleming-Williams, who suggested it in a letter to the editor of Wireless Engineer in 1942. (For example, the approximate geometric mean of Band 7 is 10 MHz, or 10⁷ Hz.)^[3]

By application

Broadcasting

Broadcast frequencies:

• Longwave AM Radio = 148.5 – 283.5 kHz (LF)
• Mediumwave AM Radio = 530 kHz – 1710 kHz (MF)
• Shortwave AM Radio = 3 MHz – 30 MHz (HF)

Designations for television and FM radio broadcast frequencies vary between countries, see Television channel frequencies and FM broadcast band. Since VHF and UHF frequencies are desirable for many uses in urban areas, in North America some parts of the former television broadcasting band have been reassigned to cellular phone and various land mobile communications systems. Even within the allocation still dedicated to television, TV-band devices use channels without local broadcasters.
The Apex band in the United States was a pre-WWII allocation for VHF audio broadcasting; it was made obsolete after the introduction of FM broadcasting.
