Father and Son Saved From Beheading by ISIS By Tampon-Free Marathon Runner and SAS Sniper But Mostly the SAS Sniper

The feel-good headshot story of the day.


The brave British marksman saved the terrified eight-year-old and his father after taking out the crazed jihadi with a head shot from 1,000 metres away.

The special forces crack shot then killed two other members of the hated terror group, who were also taking part in the sick planned execution.

ISIS militants had decreed that the little boy and his father must die after branding them "infidels" because they refused to denounce their faith.

They were just seconds from death when the hero sniper intervened to stop the barbaric killing in the Syrian desert. The pair were part of the minority Shia sect of Islam which ISIS considers to be heretical....

Definitely read the article; I wanted to quote it all, because it's just so dramatic and powerful, but I can't. So you'll have to go over to the link.

By the way, an update on that Tampon-Free Marathon Runner: If you didn't know this, and I, personally, did not, she actually has a point.

Apparently in some parts of the world, women are too ashamed of menstruation to properly disinfect their cloth, reusable pads. Thus they get infections. Meanwhile, sanitary pads -- disposable ones -- are too expensive.

So this one guy is on a campaign to deliver a machine that cranks out cheap sanitary pads to the poorer quarters of the world.

A school dropout from a poor family in southern India has revolutionised menstrual health for rural women in developing countries by inventing a simple machine they can use to make cheap sanitary pads.

Arunachalam Muruganantham's invention came at great personal cost - he nearly lost his family, his money and his place in society. But he kept his sense of humour.

"It all started with my wife," he says.

Stop what you're thinking. You just stop that right now, you weisenheimer.

In 1998 he was newly married and his world revolved around his wife, Shanthi, and his widowed mother. One day he saw Shanthi was hiding something from him. He was shocked to discover what it was - rags, "nasty cloths" which she used during menstruation.

"I will be honest," says Muruganantham. "I would not even use it to clean my scooter." When he asked her why she didn't use sanitary pads, she pointed out that if she bought them for the women in the family, she wouldn't be able to afford to buy milk or run the household...


When Muruganantham looked into it further, he discovered that hardly any women in the surrounding villages used sanitary pads - fewer than one in 10...

Women who do use cloths are often too embarrassed to dry them in the sun, which means they don't get disinfected. Approximately 70% of all reproductive diseases in India are caused by poor menstrual hygiene - it can also affect maternal mortality.

I won't quote anymore; it's an interesting article. He's out there doing good stuff with his invention.

And honestly, now that I think back, okay, that Tampon-Free Marathon Runner did bring this to my attention, in a round-about sort of way, as this was Tweeted to me by someone annoyed with her tactics, presenting this as an effective action.

True that -- yet, I still learned something, indirectly, due to this young Social Justice Warrior's still-mostly-about-attention stunt. So her stunt was not without effect.

So, one could draw the conclusion that she did some marginal good with her attempt to de-stigmatize menstruation.

Of course, some people might draw other conclusions.


I denounce that tweet and condemn it with every atom of my being.

Did her stunt cause more resopurces to flow (!) to third world hellholes for these destitute women? No. It just made rich westerners feel guilty.

That is not effective action, and "raising consciousness" is the biggest load of horseshit since Judas threw the money back at the Sanhedrin.

18 The runny marathon runner may in fact be creating "awareness," but I gotta ask - how much has she personally donated to buy tampons for these poor third-world women.

None, you say? She was just making a statement, then, and not actually helping solve the problem.

The sniper made a statement, too, but he ALSO solved a problem. Not all of the best headshots this week were in Deadpool trailers.

I think the marathon woman is gross, unhygenic and hideous in her message. And I do not think my tax dollars should pay for Kotex in the third world or wherever. Our money would be better spent vaccinating illegals coming over the border with whooping cough and ebola.

Generations prior to Kotex, somehow, women survived. Perhaps this is the war on wimmen, that they have periods. Maybe sympathetic men will start wearing pads once a month to feel unity? This is bs. I saw the photos of this hideous woman who just wanted her 15 minutes of fame for having her period. Big whoop. How gross for herself and others to endure her selfish 'look at me!!" moment in time.

I guess now that gays can marry this Kotex or bust is the in thang.

63 How is it gender equality when these "feminist" keep asking for special treatment and things. If you are receiving special things or special treatment just because you are a woman then I can't see how that is fair.

[I'd heard the term "toxic shock syndrome" before in this context. Since I'm male, my mum didn't explain things to me at the age of ten. So I looked it up this morning. Yay moronettes for having a sense of humour that might even be darker than morons'...]

"Toxic shock syndrome" means a bacterial onslaught into your bloodstream and, sometimes, an 'orrible death. You don't want it. Your girlfriend or(/and) wife, also, doesn't want it. Hygiene turns out to matter, even "down there".

Truth is, Kiran is angry she has periods. She's angry at men/boys because they don't have periods.

This resentful condition is not rare in young women who are a little touched emotionally. I knew a girl who hated her breasts. They weren't big or anything. But she hated them because she felt they complicated her life with the bra and the attention and the dresses and the whatnots. This girl actually wished she had no breasts. Again, this is not rare.

India is a special kind of fucked up. They really hate having foreigners come over and clean up stuff. Real inferiority complex with a lot of them.

I remember there was an EU construction company that specialized in 'eco-friendly' municipal projects that approached the Indian gov. in the '90s about creating a series of remediation pools on the side of the Ganges that would, without electricity, clean some of the trash-filled river.

The company volunteered to pay for the construction costs.

The government said no.

I think it was the book Outlaw Platoon where a platoon travels to an Afghan army outpost located in an old fort to find that the Afghan soldiers hadn't bothered to dig a latrine and just shat wherever they pleased.

93 I read awhile back that there are neighborhoods in India where the women have health problems related to having to hold in their urine all day. Apparently there are no restrooms, not latrines, no privies, so everyone just goes out in the open. Women will only go at night because it's more private then.

What kind of culture in this day and age hasn't at least figured out the privy? Afghanistan is like that too. People just go to the edge of town and take their dumps out in the open.

273 The basic principle of using cloths as pads is the same as using cloth diapers. The basic cleaning techniques are also the same: soak in cold water to get out the worst of it, wash in soapy hot water, and bleach for additional cleanliness. The drying in the sun part is more important because of Indian humidity than anything else, albeit I'm sure it helps against mildew, etc.

The real problem here is probably not "shame," but religious and caste regulations. Generally the idea is that if men pass downstream of a menstruating woman, or if they get into contact with a menstruating woman, they become ritually unclean (in a lot of Indian ethnic groups and castes, anyway). So menstruating women are under heavy pressure to stay out of the way and keep their stuff from ritually messing with the men. That's what all the hiding of rags was about.

The rest is about women who can't afford even one cloth pad or extra loincloth layer, so they're using other stuff inside their loincloth undies. They probably can't afford clean water or bleach, either.

Thus the GOPe only fears a conservative type that might actually oppose the progressives winning and that is the only time they fight to win an election.

It is absolutely untrue that menstrual health is unrelated to maternal mortality. Think about postpartum bleeding...
Posted by: It Had To Be Said




The two are completely unrelated. Did you sleep thru sex ed or did you wait out in the hallway with the Seventh Day Adventists?

---

Postpartum bleeding is treated the same as menstruation in primitive cultures----that is, shove some filthy rags up there if it's not over after a certain superstition says it ought to be. If you want to argue that postpartum infection does not fall under the heading of "childbirth death", you're pretty wrong.

Really though, it's not hard to make the connection that repeated infections from unsanitary menstrual cloths could lead to PID, scarring and thus complications in childbirth.

Hell, it's in the article that ace linked that reproductive diseases can be caused by this problem and that it affects maternal mortality.

306 Researchers at a New York City hospital several years ago conducted a test of the widely accepted notion that skipping breakfast can make you fat.

For some nutritionists, this idea is an article of faith. Indeed, it is enshrined in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, the federal government's advice book, which recommends having breakfast every day because "not eating breakfast has been associated with excess body weight."

As with many nutrition tips, though, including some offered by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, the tidbit about skipping breakfast is based on scientific speculation, not certainty, and indeed, it may be completely unfounded, as the experiment in New York indicated.

At 8:30 in the morning for four weeks, one group of subjects got oatmeal, another got frosted corn flakes and a third got nothing. And the only group to lose weight was ... the group that skipped breakfast. Other trials, too, have similarly contradicted the federal advice, showing that skipping breakfast led to lower weight or no change at all.

"In overweight individuals, skipping breakfast daily for 4 weeks leads to a reduction in body weight," the researchers from Columbia University concluded in a paper published last year.
