A dour duke and a wistful wallflower – an impossible match until fate intervenes one enchanted night.
A dour duke….
Jules, the Sixth Duke of Dandridge disdains Society and all its trappings, preferring the country's solitude and peace. Already jaded and cynical since the woman he loved died years ago, he's become even more so since unexpectedly inheriting a dukedom's responsibilities and finding himself the target of every husband-hunting vixen in London.
A wistful wallflower….
Forever in her stunning sister's shadow, Jemmah Dament has adored Jules from afar for years – since as children they were the best of friends. She daren't dream she can win a duke's heart any more than she hopes to escape the life of servitude imposed on her by an uncaring mother. Jemmah knows full well, Jules is too far above her station. Besides, his family has already selected his perfect duchess: a poised, polished, exquisite blueblood.
But one enchanted night….
A chance encounter reunites Jules and Jemmah, resulting in a passionate interlude neither can forget. Jules realizes he wants more – much more – than Jemmah's sweet kisses or her warming his bed. He must somehow convince her to gamble on a dour duke. But can Jemmah trust a rogue promised to another? One who's sworn never to love again?
Caution: This historical regency romance contains a duke who literally thumbs his nose at society, a sweet and intelligent wallflower with a secret dream, a villainess worthy of a fairy tale, and two delightful match-making dowagers.

The Five Tibetan Rites for "youthing"
The Five Tibetan Rites, the Five Tibetans, also known as the Five Rites of Rejuvenation, were first written about by Peter Kelder in a 1939 publication entitled: The Eye of Revelation.
In it he describes how the exercises came to the West early in the last century century, compliments of a retired British army officer, who learned them, possibly, in the Himalayas. These Rites, similar to some early forms of Yoga has roots that date back to times possibly before Yoga came to be, and are likely to have originated from a system of Kum Nye which date back 2,500 years.
Chris Kilham, whose 1994 book, The Five Tibetans resparked the the Five Rites' current popularity, fully describes this exercise program for "youthing". In it we can also read a series of testimonials where people report: more energy, increase in strength and endurance, gray hair turning back to its original color, vision improvement, arthritis relief, better memory, younger look, weight loss and more extraordinary rejuvenation. People claim to "look ten years younger" and to have "never felt better."
The Five Tibetans are highly energizing postures and exercises, liberating and enhancing the innate energetic power of the human body and mind. These five exercises take a minimum of daily time and effort and space, but offer remarkable results in the way of increased physical strength and suppleness as well as mental acuity, enlivening the senses and generating and harnessing energy, especially when no days are skipped.
Regular practice of these movements relieves muscular tension and nervous stress, improves respiration and digestion, benefits the cardiovascular system, leads to deep relaxation, better sleeping and well-being and tunes and energizes the chakras. They offer benefits far exceeding the time and energy required to perform them.
When the flow of prana is inhibited, for whatever reasons, that's when aging starts. So the key to eternal, or at least greatly prolonged youth, is to keep the chakras spinning full spine, and one of the ways to do this is to practice the five Tibetans everyday.
For the older and possibly ill folks amongst us:
1) practice slowly at first, each rite three times a day for the first week and then increasing the speed a bit each week
2) then with every following week, increase the repetitions by two
3) eventually, after more than 10 weeks, performing 21 repetitions for every rite, every day.
Most people can start right away with 7 repetitions and increase with 7 repetitions by the second week. And are performing the full set of 21 repetitions in the third week. You could even start right away with 21 repetitions. The end goal is to perform 21 repetitions for every Rite, and do the series once or twice a day.
These exercises may stretch muscles you haven't felt in years. Some practitioners also recommend taking caution prior to performing the Rites due to the possibility of aggravating certain health conditions. Approach this program gently and begin with three repetitions each day, increasing each exercise by two repetitions when you feel up to it. One thing that is important to remember is that the Rites work in conjunction with each other. So it is important to do all of them. Performing the five Rites with 21 repetitions each will take you from 15 to 20 minutes.
A good time to practice the Rites is in the morning, after taking a shower. You will find that practicing the five Tibetans, in the morning, will make you feel more energetic and fresh during the rest of the day. You will have better results if you practice the Rites slowly without rushing, and if you breathe deeply in-between the Rites. It is also critically important to combine correct breathing with the movement. (There is no point in doing the Rites as fast as possible and not doing the breathing work). However, if you don't have much time, you could do fewer repetitions. Also, most people have found that doing more than 21 repetitions is not useful. 21 seems to be the magic number.
Rite #1
Stand erect with arms outstretched - horizontal to the floor, palms facing down. Your arms should be in line with your shoulders. Spin around clockwise until you become slightly dizzy. Gradually increase the number of spins from 1 spin to 21 spins. Kelder cautions that when performing the First Rite, spinning must always be performed in a clockwise direction. He also states that Bradford clearly recalled that the Maulawiyah, otherwise known as "Whirling Dervishes", always spun from left to right, in a clockwise direction (athough we could debate this...).
Breathing: Inhale and exhale deeply as you do the spins.
Rite #2
Lie flat on the floor, face up. Fully extend your arms Along your sides and place the palms of your hands against the floor, keeping fingers close together. Then raise your head off the floor, tucking your chin into your chest. As you do this, lift your legs, knees straight, into a vertical position. If possible, extend the legs over the body towards your head. Do not let the knees bend. Then slowly lower the legs and head to the floor, while always keeping the knees straight. Allow the muscles to relax, and repeat.
Breathing: Breathe in deeply as you lift your head and legs and exhale as you lower your head and legs.
Rite #3
Kneel on the floor with the body erect. The hands should be placed on the backs of your thigh muscles. Incline the head and neck forward, tucking your chin in against your chest. Then throw the head and neck backward, arching the spine. Your toes should be curled under through this exercise. As you arch, you will brace your arms and hands against your thighs for support. After the arching return your body to an erect position and begin the rite all over again.
Breathing: Inhale as you arch the spine and exhale as you return back to an erect position.
Rite #4
Sit down on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and your feet about 12" apart. With the trunk of the body erect, place the palms of your hands on the floor alongside your buttocks. Then tuck the chin forward against the chest. Now drop the head backward as far as it will go. At the same time raise your body so that the knees bend while the arms remain straight. Then tense every muscle in your body. Finally let the muscles relax as you return to your original sitting position. Rest before repeating this Rite.
Breathing: Breathe in as you raise up, hold your breath as you tense the muscles, and breathe out fully as you come down.
Rite #5
Lie down with your face down to the floor. You will be supported by the hands palms down against the floor and the toes in the flexed position. Throughout this rite, the hands and feet should be kept straight. Start with your arms perpendicular to the Floor, and the spine arched, so that the body Is in a sagging position. Now throw the head back as far as possible. The, bending at the hips, bring the body up into an inverted "V". At the same time, bring the chin forward, tucking it against the chest.
Breathing: Breathe in deeply as you raise the body, and exhale fully as you lower the body.

It's been birthday season over here at Lajollacooks4u, and we've been having a ball celebrating them!
Up first, we had Guy M., who was celebrating his 60th birthday. He brought along his two friends, David and Charlie, both of whom were super-foodies. The three of them experimented around the kitchen, making delicious domino potato flowers and sautéed Brussel sprouts with black garlic and urfa chilies.
Said Charlie, "Jodi, you are amazing! We loved the menu combinations. We appreciated your attentiveness and hospitality. It was a truly memorable experience."
Up next, we threw a special occasion for a returning guest. Julia W. visited Lajollacooks4u a couple years ago, and liked it so much she planned her dad, Reuben's, 80th birthday with us! They made a delicious fig and olive chutney with Labne cheese and walnut raisin bread, braised short ribs and roasted salmon with sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes.
Said Reuben, "I couldn't imagine a nicer 80th birthday dinner. Chef Jodi is not only a great chef, but a lovely hostess. I feel very lucky."
Thank you again to all of our most recent guests. Our kitchen makes the perfect setting for all types of birthday celebrations and special occasions!

Cocktail Party Planning - Drinks for Guests
Throwing a successful cocktail party requires some savvy party planning. It wouldn't be called a cocktail party if the drinks weren't an important aspect. Choosing the right alcohols, preparing a few pitchers of spiked punch, prepping glasses and garnishes and memorizing a few cocktail recipes will help your party live up to its name.
Not only do you need to have plenty of different liquors, don't forget to stock up on different glasses and foods for garnishes. Compare what you have at home with this basic cocktail making kit to see if you've already got what it takes to throw a cocktail party, or if you need to take a trip to the liquor store.
Basic Cocktail Kit
- Vodka, gin, rum and tequila are great for mixing with fruit juices to make sweet, colorful drinks or with sprite and soda water for those who love the flavor of alcohol but don't want to drink it straight. If you want to make martinis, don't forget the dry vermouth to pair with the vodka or gin.
- Bourbon, whiskey and scotch are commonly drank neat (no ice) or on the rocks (with ice). Ginger ale, water, soda water or coke are sometimes mixed with these. If you know you're inviting lovers of scotch and bourbon, make sure you have at least one bottle aged 12 years or more, since many connoisseurs will wrinkle their noses at anything less.
- A couple of after dinner liqueurs like amaretto (almond flavored), frangelica (hazelnut flavored), cognac or brandy are good for sipping with dessert. Amaretto and frangelico are also great if mixed with vodka and/or half-and-half.
- Mixers should include cranberry, orange and pineapple juice, as well as sprite, ginger ale, soda water and coke. Don't forget sweet-and-sour, sweetened lime juice and triple sec for margaritas and long island iced teas.
- Absinthe or another notorious alcohol can be a great conversation piece.
- Glasses: Martini, rocks glasses (short glasses for serving straight alcohol on ice or those served with a splash of juice or soda), shot glasses, highballs for long island iced teas and other mixed drinks, snifter glasses for liqueurs served straight.
- Garnishes: Olives (stuff with fresh garlic and/or blue cheese) to serve with martinis; limes and lemons for drinks mixed with sprite and soda water; orange slices and maraschino cherries for amaretto or whiskey sours; and anything else small that you can skewer on a toothpick or float in a glass like berries, mint leaves or chocolate shavings. Don't forget sugar and salt for coating the rim of some of your glasses.
Cocktail List
- Long Island Iced Tea: Equal parts of vodka, gin, rum, tequila (optional), triple sec. 1 1/2 parts sweet and sour and top with a splash of coke. Better if prepared in pitchers beforehand, since they're time consuming (don't add the coke to the pitcher).
- Fruity Punch: For those who don't like to drink or don't know what they like to drink, mix equal parts of vodka, gin, rum, cranberry, pineapple and 7-up. Experiment using different fruit juices if you'd like. Prepare in pitchers beforehand.
- Screaming Orgasm (there are many different versions): Equal parts vodka, baileys and frangelica, amaretto or gran marnier and half-and-half.

The fresh music from season one of the Search Party soundtrack
After having just watched the entire season of Search Party, I can honestly say the thing that stood out most was the music. And that doesn't speak ill of the show itself, which was one of the most original, compelling and funny series I've seen this year. It has seamlessly blended together elements of comedy and drama, wrapping them around an extremely new-age and interesting mystery. Before I go into the soundtrack and some of the great songs the show has introduced us to, it would be criminal to not go ahead and strongly recommend you watch the show. It's almost impossible not to binge watch from start to finish on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Here's the full list of music from the Search Party soundtrack.
Episode 1 – "Obedear" by Purity Ring
When looking at the show's soundtrack it's hard not to select the theme song as one of the standouts. Purity Ring's Obedear immediately sets the ominous and strange feel of the episode and I'd be willing to bet most of you watching were quick to pull out Shazam during the pilot. You know, right after Dory finds the poster of her missing friend, before being told she is standing in dog sh*t.
Episode 2 – "Nightdriving" by Brolin
Brolin are a relatively lesser-known band however you might ask yourself why with the soothing vocals and electronic ambience of this track. You can hear this song at the end of episode two and perfectly suits the intriguing final scene when Dory discovers a clue in Chantal's copy of Anna Karenina.
Episode 3 – "And Sooner Than We Know It" by Morly
You might have missed this song as it was a little hard to catch as Dory finally works up the courage to confront Chantal's parents at the candlelight vigil. It's a little slow to start however it builds towards the end with some impressive electronic swells. You may have also missed it because you were in shock, trying to overcome the cringe-worthy, acapella version of Kelly Clarkson's Since You've Been Gone. I know I was.
Episode 4 – "Down from the Rafters" by Hundred Waters
Probably one of the fan favorites from the series, and seems to be up there with one of the most played on our site. Hundred Waters are a three-member band out of Florida and have been causing a stir in the indie rock and electronic scene, where critics and fans are loving a lot of the music they're putting out. Listen out for the track at the end of the episode when they finally force Gavin into the cab.
Episode 5 – "Gold Chain" by Black Coast (feat. Remmi)
This one was easy to choose because it was the only song from the episode. That said, the track easily stands on it's own and brings an energetic, electronic pop feel. Black Coast are also quite an unknown band out of New York however they have some impressively trending songs on Soundcloud, and will surely continue to bring us an amazing diverse range of electronic music in the future.
Episode 6 – "Laura" by Max Manie
Max Manie features a few times throughout the season and we're loving each of their tracks. This is a remixed version of the track from the episode however you can get a good feel for the electronic, deep-house music they deliver.
Episode 7 – "The Call" by Kaleida
Kaleida has previously seen a fair bit of traction on our site after John Wick was released. Their track Think was one of the most played and requested tracks on the entire site. The Call is in the same style and features similar hauntingly beautiful vocals complimented with a minimal, addictive electronic beat. Keep an ear out for it in the awkward scene, when Dory arrives home after sleeping with Keith (oh no!).
Episode 8 – "Black" by The Soft Moon
This ones a little strange but I can't seem to get the intrusive nature of the track out of my head. If I heard it on it's own I wouldn't think much of it, but it's used so effectively, in such an uneasy final scene that I find myself continually coming back and listening to it. Give it a go and see what you think.
Episode 9 – "Falling" by Opia
A downbeat, electronic song with soothing lyrics from Australian newcomers, Opia. You'll hear it when Chuck storms into the apartment and immediately takes his pants off, before realizing it's a setup. Poor Chuck 🙁
Episode 10 – "Underwater" by Vud
The perfect and fitting song to end the series after the ending so effectively unsurprising, it actually surprised us. But hey, no spoilers, just watch it for yourself.
And that's it! The entire Search Party soundtrack contains over 35 songs so head to our website to take a look. There's some fantastic additions that we left off of this list.
Party is on with this playlist. Thanks for sharing this.

This Is Where I Live
Overseas deliveries Please note that, as this is a heavy item, overseas postage will be charged at twice our standard rates.
Publisher's Description
For forty years, Wendy Ewald has travelled the world working with local communities, especially children. In addition to making her own photographs, she developed a method of handing out simple cameras and encouraging people – ordinarily the 'subjects' of a professional photographer – to author their own images of themselves and their communities. Because the photographers are trusted observers, innocent of the techniques (and wiles) of professionals, the results have the uncanny feel of unadorned truth.
In This Is Where I Live, Ewald redefines the scope of books about Israel and the West Bank. Ewald portrays an entire region through its discreet parts. Her subjects are contested sites where many communities coexist: Jewish, Christian, Gypsy and Druze. Ewald worked with fourteen different communities – in neighbourhoods, villages and schools – using a version of the prismatic approach she's refined over many years. She encouraged a wide range of people – school children, elderly women and hi-tech workers – to take pictures and document their lives from their own perspective.
Cameras were offered to children uprooted by settlements in Hebron, the West Bank; to young girls at Tzahali military academy; to stall owners at The Shuk, Jerusalem's lively marketplace; and to Bedouin students at a school in the Negev Desert. The collected images, accompanied by interviews and statements by the photographers, evoke the vitality of the region's cultural landscape, including small minorities such as the Gypsies (who are often swept under the umbrella of Arab identity) – not to mention the myriad identities within majority groups, illuminating the manifold meaning of 'Jewish identity'.

Everyone wants the new year to be more successful than the last, but how do we get to the place of accomplishing our goals? I have compiled some tips and ideas that have helped me tremendously in making my goals my reality in the past year. Let's start off the new year with fresh eyes and determination for our success!
1. Create a Vision Board. Listen if Oprah says to do it, you should do it. Plus it helps put all of your goals in one visual place. It is proven to help us clarify what we want and by looking at it daily re-affirm our goals in our mind.
2. Decide, Clarify, and Write Down Your Goals for the Year. You can't figure out the how until you figure out the what. So what do you want? Be specific because this is the most aspect-when you know the goal you want to attain by the end of the year, you can then start figuring out where to begin. For example, if your goal is to finish that screenplay by December 1, 2018, what do you need to do each month to get to that goal? Once you know the monthly goal, then break it down into the weekly goals, then the daily goals. When you start from the end and work back to the beginning you can get a clearer understanding of what you will need to accomplish your goal, as well as feeling in control of your time. Also, don't forget to make rewards for accomplishing the milestones and goals! This will help keep you motivated.
3. Be Mindful of Your Time. Ever hear the saying time is money? Well, it's true. Once you know what you need to do to accomplish your goals plan out that time and make it a priority. All too often we fill our calendar with things that are not getting us to where we want to be in life. Since you clarified your goals and know what you need to accomplish them you can easily schedule your time. Try to break it down by, Work/Day Job, Career Goals, Personal, Errands/ Appointments. You can put these different sections in your calendar ahead as blocks of time- creating your schedule one week before is preferable so that when invitations and last minute "to do's" come up you will know when to fit them in and how to RSVP. This also helps you see how much balance you really have between work, personal time, and career time.
4. Incorporate a Healthy Habit. When we get busy, unhappy or stressed we tend to incorporate bad habits. Eating unhealthy, not getting enough sleep, not unplugging and having "me time" etc. Start the year off by choosing one healthy habit and sticking to it. This can be as easy as taking the stairs instead of the elevator at work or meditating 3x a week. Taking care of your body is extremely important, it is ten times harder to get anything done when you don't feel well.
5. Enjoy the Journey. Once you have set your goals and create your schedule, relax and enjoy the journey. All too often we get too caught up in the "what if's". Allow yourself to enjoy the time that it takes to accomplish the goal as much as accomplishing the goal itself. There are usually huge life lessons and amazing people to meet along the way. Be open to experience whatever comes to you and how it enriches your life.

Daily Fishing and Outdoor Report
Honorable Christopher Christie;
I read a comment in Jaymanntoday wherein it was stated that Governor Christie excoriated beachfront property owners "Gov went after easement holdouts in his typical brash way, saying that an ocean view is not worth the loss of lives and property. Of course, the easement holdouts are so into themselves they couldn't care less about the lives and limbs of others." Taking this from the local politicians is one thing but I would have thought that the governor would have been better informed about the easement issue.
While I am usually very entertained by Mr. Mann's articles, I take issue with this characterization as well as that of many others. While I agree with Mr. Mann's other comment that it would be unfair to saddle the property owners in the beach communities with all of the substantial expenses associated with maintaining and operating the beaches, subsidizing public beach access, as proposed by Senate President Stephen Sweeney (Senate bill S-2368), I strongly disagree that the insinuation that beachfront homeowners are greedy and selfish. To borrow from and to paraphrase two overused and often abused clichés no good intention is understood or appreciated and the good intention is often buried with the political demagoguery.
Access has always been freely given despite the fact that I was unaware that the State already has authority under the law, N.J.S.A. 12:6A-1, to enter private property to build and maintain shore protection projects, the State may "undertake any and all actions and work essential to the execution of this authorization and the powers granted hereby." The proposed easement stated "…for use by the State of New Jersey and the Borough of Surf City, their representatives, agents, contractors and assigns to:
a. Construct, preserve, patrol, operate, maintain, repair, rehabilitate, and replace a public beach, dune system, and other erosion control and storm damage reduction measures together with appurtenances thereto----." The specific language contains no restriction to prevent assignment of this easement to a developer or to limit what could be constructed on the easement area in connection with or appurtenant to a public beach. This language could allow future commercial construction in the easement when a feasibility study determines that commercialization may be desirable.
The bottom line is that this is not about "access to property" nor preserving an ocean view, this is all about preventing commercial development on the beaches of a residential beach community. To this goal I proposed a form of the easement which eliminated the language regarding construction on the dunes and assignment to a non-governmental agency. I would have signed the easement deed if it omitted some of this offensive language. I was not seeking any compensation. The offer was summarily rejected. The reason for my rejecting the easement proposed by the State was that I have attempted to preserve the environment that first attracted our family to Surf City and that we had hoped to continue to enjoy in the future.

Really doesn't make me feel good knowing that no dunes were built which might have protected my poor little property across the bay because a bunch of lawyers were holding their breaths over a few words.
Please, my favorite part of the Constitution is not the second or the first amendments but rather the Preamble. I understand the intent of the writers especially when they talk about promoting the general welfare. I guess to some folks just choose to ignore these words and concentrate on finding the loopholes which allow them to, if nothing else, delay the eventual outcome.
Greed will conquer all regarding the development of the island. Just ask the people in Philadelphia what happened to the law which limited building heights to not exceed William Penn's statue.
The best chance to preserve the island is to scuttle the plans for the new bridge. In my estimation that access will bring a flood of new visitors all seeking a place. Some will bring enough money to corrupt enough people to build a high rise on the beach next to you or your neighbors.
You have certainly seen the collapse of Bergen County, Fort Lee, The Palisades and that general area due to the greed of real estate developers. What are you doing about the LG project in your other back yard?

Thanks for sharing your story, and good advice. I like to carry a few items in my clothing so that I can be sure I have them on hand, even if I might not have a pack with me. Rather to my surprise over the years I have found myself several times indoors in places like shopping centers and the power has gone off, and the lights with it.
On each occasion I was able to bring my torch/flashlight out. This not only helped me see, but the light gave comfort to others around me and helped them not to panic and to regain their spacial awareness.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc claimed pole on the P Zero Red soft tyre after a tense finale to Q3, where all the drivers barring McLaren's Carlos Sainz missed the cut-off for a final flying lap. All the top 10 drivers on the grid set their best Q2 laps on the soft tyre, which means that they will all begin the race on this compound. In contrast to yesterday, conditions were dry and quite warm, with track temperatures just under 40 degrees centigrade in qualifying. Tomorrow could be a very different story though, with the weather expected to revert to the cooler and damper conditions of Friday.
Leclerc was given the Pirelli Pole Position award of the year by former Ferrari driver Jody Scheckter, who won the Italian Grand Prix and subsequently the world championship for drivers exactly 40 years ago, in 1979.
The optimal strategy for the 53-lap Italian Grand Prix is a one-stopper, but of course it all depends on the weather. Assuming it stays dry, which is a reasonably big assumption, the fastest strategy is to start on the soft and change to the medium on lap 22. That's what the top 10 here is banking on.
Very close is another one stop strategy: start on the soft, then change for the hard after 19 laps. Slightly slower than that is another one-stopper: start on the medium and change onto the hard after 24 laps.
A two-stopper is distinctly slower, so only to be considered if wear and degradation on the soft is higher than expected (in case of warmer weather, for example). In which case: start on the soft, soft again on lap 16, then medium around lap 32.
If it rains, then it's just a question of reacting to changing circumstances and opportunities (such as safety cars). The teams gathered considerable information about the intermediate tyres and crossover points on Friday, which will certainly help in the decision-making process under those challenging circumstances.
"We experienced very different conditions today compared to what we saw yesterday, and the predictions are that the weather could change again tomorrow, making it a difficult weekend to manage from an engineering and tyre point of view, with the teams having to lock themselves into a dry or a wet set-up in advance. This undoubtedly had an effect in qualifying, together with yesterday's lack of running. Whether or not the teams go for the anticipated one-stopper depends largely on the weather. In particular, if it rains, the strategy will only be decided as the race unfolds. Whatever happens, our tyre selection here should enable drivers to push to the maximum throughout each stint. Congratulations to Charles Leclerc for his second pole position in two weeks."

Take note: the Opus BT-C100 charger from Banggood, while can analyze/charge/discharge NiMh batteries; if you're thinking of charging Li-Ion batteries, then the product description does not indicate it supprots Li-Ion. And surely enough, my unit does not charge Li-Ion batteries (it indicates FULL immediately when I insert an 18650 or 18350 in various states of charge). See my youtube video demo of the charger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqjfp4XEFLw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hckCBD447Q

I Have only charged Li-Ion with this. Its a pulse charger. Pulses are rather high (4.310v) on old batteries with high ir . Voltage display shows battery voltage (not charging voltage) and is aprox 0.03 off on my unit. Termination voltage is aprox 4.17 (shows aprox 4.20) Voltage meter when inserting a battery is completely unreliable. Termination current 50 mA. All in all i like it for what i want it to do.
2018-05-16 02:56:46
Everything you know is a small charger, battery testing and maintenance perfect. The OPUS BT-C3100 V2.2 charger, which I liked very much, is also a small brother
2019-06-12 15:38:22
Good, small single cell charger. This charger came with a US plug and will do LI-Ion batteries.

Over the years there have been many fires on mobile mining equipment. In fact, a study by the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy over a 12 month period showed that of 228 fires reported in this period 71% were on mobile mining equipment.
Additionally, the insurance industry data shows that for hydraulic excavators at least once every 7 years a fire capable of causing "whole of machine" loss can be expected.
The studies mentioned above have also identified that failure of fundamental maintenance practices are responsible for the majority of these fires. On many mines across the world Bluefield has also identified failed maintenance practices that have, or could lead to fires on mobile equipment. In all of these cases the failures were due to one or more of the following:
- Failure to identify defects with the fire prevention materials included on the machine; eg. fire blankets as shown below
- Failure to identify critical defects that can lead to fire; eg. fuel lines, hydraulic lines, electrical cables, dragging brakes
- Failure to act on reported critical defects in adequate time
- Failure to adequately define in the PM inspections, the standard to which the machine must be maintained in order to maintain the integrity of fire prevention equipment
Bluefield believes that the quality of inspections generally reflect the level of importance placed on the "quality of PM inspections" by the maintenance and site management team. Bluefield also believes that, like structural defects, there is a need for priorities to be placed on defects in areas that can lead to fire. This conclusion is also supported by the data from the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy which has identified Engines, Electrical, Wheel Bearings and Brakes as the top 3 critical areas. Defects in these areas should have a higher criticality and machines should not return to work without these being reviewed by at least an additional technician.
Bluefield is providing practical services for our clients, in mining and other industries, that enable these companies to rapidly close the gaps in these fundamental practices. Developing the necessary ownership and focus on maintaining the required standards is the first step to effective and efficient maintenance which will prevent these types of incidents.

Proposals to hold WiFi providers liable for actions by those connecting to networks could be the death knell for public access.
David Harrington, regulatory affairs spokesman at CMA, claimed that it was 'becoming obvious that one of the [Digital Economy] Bill's provisions seems certain to inflict serious damage to the availability of public WiFi access points and thus to an important part of our broadband infrastructure'.
Proposals in the bill make it possible for the provider of WiFi access to be classed as an ISP rather than as a subscriber and therefore subject to the same liabilities as BT or TalkTalk.
Harrington said: "More pubs will move closer to closure, the tourist trade will suffer, coffee bar footfall will decline and those mobile operators now putting their faith in smartphones that can hop between 3G and WiFi networks will find their plans seriously flawed."
CMA also believes that the bill will impose a significant financial and administrative burden on the smaller operators of wireless services, namely the need to invest in specialist software and/or the need to track clients to computer ports, and to retain client identity details.
Harrington said: "This is all theoretically possible but begs questions relating to ID verification, the retention of data, for how long and in how much detail.
The incidence of suspected infringement is also a factor - a single user obtaining a single MP3 album/film at a library etc will always be very hard to find, whereas repeat offences at the same location by the same user will be more readily identified. But without such clarification the legislation in this area is doomed to be unenforceable."
It said that the legislation should simply require the ISP to co-operate and support ongoing investigations, without imposing expensive and unworkable restrictions on small WiFi operators that promise not to solve the problem of illicit file downloading, but only to make the ownership or operation of WiFi access unacceptably hazardous.
The Open Rights Group has claimed that more than 10,000 people have written to MPs in less than three days to demand a debate on the bill. Its action will continue with a planned demonstration tomorrow evening opposite Parliament.

A significant proportion of victims of rape or other sexual violence incidents are male. Historically, rape was thought to be, and defined as, a crime committed solely against women. This belief is still held in some parts of the world, but rape of males is now commonly criminalized and has been subject to more discussion than in the past.[1]
Rape of males is still taboo, and has a negative connotation among heterosexual and homosexual men.[2][3] Community and service providers often react to the sexual orientation of male victims and the gender of their perpetrators.[4] It may be difficult for male victims to report a sexual assault they experienced, especially in a society with a strong masculine custom. They might be afraid that people will doubt their sexual orientation and label them homosexual, especially if raped by a male, or that they may be seen as un-masculine because they were a victim.
Mostly, male victims try to hide and deny their victimization, similar to female victims, unless they have serious physical injuries. Eventually, the male victims may be very vague in explaining their injuries when they are seeking medical or mental health services.[5]
Research and statistics
Research about male-victim rape had only just begun to appear by 1980, focusing mostly on male children. The studies of sexual assault in correctional facilities focusing specifically on the consequences of this kind of rape were available in the early 1980s, but nothing was available during the previous years. Most of the literature regarding rape and sexual assault focuses on female victims.[5]
Only recently have some other forms of sexual violence against men been considered. In the 2010–2012 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (and a prior edition of this study completed in 2010), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) measured a category of sexual violence called "being made to penetrate" which captures instances in which victims were forced to or attempt to sexually penetrate someone (of either sex), either by physical force or coercion, or when the victim was intoxicated or otherwise unable to consent. The CDC found in the 2012 data that 1.715 million[8] (up from 1.267 million in 2010)[9] reported being "made to penetrate" another person in the preceding 12 months, similar to the 1.473 million[8] (2010: 1.270 million)[9] women who reported being raped in the same time period. The definitions of rape and "made to penetrate" in the CDC study were worded with extremely similar language.[9]
Male-on-male rape
Male-on-male rape has been heavily stigmatized. According to psychologist Sarah Crome, fewer than 1 in 10 male-male rapes are reported. As a group, male rape victims reported a lack of services and support, and legal systems are often ill-equipped to deal with this type of crime.[10]
Several studies argue that male-male prisoner rape, as well as female-female prisoner rape, are common types of rape which go unreported even more frequently than rape in the general population.[note 1][note 2][note 3] The rape of men by men has been documented as a weapon of terror in warfare (see also War rape).[11] In the case of the Syrian Civil War (2011–present), the male detainees experienced sexual abuse such as being forced to sit on a broken glass bottle, getting their genitals tied to a heavy bag of water, or being forced to watch the rape of another detainee by the officials.[12]
Female-on-male rape
Female-on-male rape is under-researched compared to other forms of sexual violence.[13] Statistics on the prevalence of female-on-male sexual violence vary. One study (Hannon et al.) found 23.4% of women and 10.5% of men reported they were raped while 6.6% of women and 10.5% of men reported they were victims of attempted rape.[14] A 2010–2012 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that one in 17 men (5.9%) reported being made to penetrate at some point in their lives[8] (up from 4.8% in 2010).[9] The surveys also found that male victims often reported only female perpetrators in instances of being made to penetrate (2012: 78.5%, 2010: 79.2%), sexual coercion (2012: 81.6%, 2010: 83.6%), and unwanted sexual contact (2012: 53.0%, 2010: 53.1%).[8][9] Among male victims who were raped by being penetrated, 86.5% reported only male perpetrators,[8] (down from 93.3% in the previous study published in 2010).[9] A 2008 study of 98 men interviewed on the United States National Crime Victimization Survey found that nearly half of the men (46%) who reported some form of sexual victimization were victimized by women.[15]
Regarding female-on-male sexual misconduct, the US Dept. of Justice reports in its opening statement (page 5): "An estimated 4.4% of prison inmates and 3.1% of jail inmates reported experiencing one or more incidents of sexual victimization by another inmate or facility staff in the past 12 months or since admission to the facility, if less than 12 months." Regarding female-on-male sexual misconduct (page 25) it states: "Among the 39,121 male prison inmates who had been victims of staff sexual misconduct, 69% reported sexual activity with female staff; an additional 16% reported sexual activity with both female and male staff (table 18)." and "Nearly two-thirds of the male jail inmates who had been victimized said the staff perpetrator was female (64%)."[16]
Male victims of sexual abuse by females[17] often face social, political, and legal double standards.[18] The case of Cierra Ross'[19] sexual assault of a man in Chicago gained national headlines and Ross was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and armed robbery with a bail set at $75,000. A similar case includes James Landrith, who was made to penetrate a female acquaintance in a hotel room while incapacitated from drinking, while his rapist cited the fact that she was pregnant to advise him not to struggle, as this might hurt the baby.[20][21]
Several widely publicized cases of female-on-male statutory rape in the United States involved school teachers having illegal sex with their underage students (see Mary Kay Letourneau and Debra Lafave). There have also been cases where an underage male victim of statutory rape was ordered by a judge to pay child support after the woman became pregnant (see Hermesmann v. Seyer).[22][23][24]
Myths regarding male victims of rape
Males are not vulnerable
By masculine gender socialization, it is thought that males, even younger males, cannot be victims of rape, nor even that they are vulnerable. In some societies, it is considered shameful and unmanly if a male child cries, because the male stereotype depicts males as being able to protect themselves, which may not always be the case.[25][26] Young boys may be weaker and vulnerable to perpetrators, who are usually stronger. The perpetrators can use whatever they have to abuse the child, including money or other bribes.[26] An adult male may also be helpless to fight back, or fearful of doing so because of the possibility of being arrested for assault and/or battery due to social double standards regarding the use of force in self-defense between genders, in some cases of female perpetrators (this double standard is similar to the concern of male self-defense against non-sexual assault by a female).
Males always want sex
A common societal belief is that a male must be aroused if he gets an erection or has an orgasm, therefore that means that they are willing and enjoying any sexual activity. Roy J. Levin and Willy Van Berlo wrote in an article in the Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine that slight genital stimulation or stress can create erections "even though no specific sexual stimulation is present". An erection does not mean that the men consent to sex.[27] Males can get erections even in traumatic or painful sexual situations, and this does not indicate consent.[26]
Much like female erectile response, male erectile response is involuntary,[28][29] meaning that a man need not be aroused for his penis to become erect; mechanical stimulation is all that is necessary. Arousal and stimulation are distinct things. Stimulation is a physical response to a stimulus. Men can be physically stimulated without feeling aroused and thus causing an erection. Men can be scared and intimidated into an erection, especially if the person is older or an authority.[30]
One notion is that males are less traumatized by the abuse experience than females are; this includes the belief that males are less negatively affected.[31] Studies show that the long-term effects are damaging for either sex and males may especially be more damaged by social stigma and disbelief of their victimization.[26] It is noted by Eogan and Richardson that male victims tend to feel more intense anger than female victims, while both go through similar feelings of distress after the rape.[3] Frazier (1993)[32] studied 74 male and 1,380 female rape victims. She found that the depression and hostility are more profound on male victims immediately post-rape than on female victims.
Trauma recovery counselor Stephanie Baird says men who experience sexual attention as children often explain it to themselves as "I'm a stud, I got laid by ...". Baird explains that they do this in order to feel as if they had some power and say.[27] Carpenter (2009, citing Mezey, 1987)[33] finds that the "male coping strategy characterized by denial and control renders them more prone to later psychiatric problems and reduces the likelihood of seeking help".
Sexual orientation
Henry Leak, the chairman of the Survivors organization, stated that rape of males, as with females, has more to do with power than sexuality, and does not only happen inside the homosexual community.[34] Sexual orientation is a complex issue, and the majority of male perpetrators who seek out boys are not homosexual.[26]
Male sexual assault victims often fear being seen as gay or weak, or believe that their assault may be due to their appearance being effeminate or homosexual so as to attract other males. Experts do not believe that premature sexual experiences play a significant role in later sexual orientation. Research by Jane Gilgun, Judith Becker and John Hunter states that while many perpetrators may have experienced sexual abuse of their own, most sexual assault victims will not go on to become adolescent perpetrators.[26]
During armed conflict
Rape of males during wartime has been reported as being very prevalent in some parts of the world, such as the Democratic Republic of Congo.[35][36] Many male refugees who have escaped from the civil war in Congo to Uganda have been raped. Across Africa, men who are raped often face social stigmatization, accusations of homosexuality (which is illegal in many countries of the region), and being ridiculed for being "weak" and failing to prevent the rape.[37][38][39] In northern Uganda, in recent years there have been ongoing attacks by rebel groups against the government forces. During these conflicts, civilian men have often been attacked, kidnapped, raped and forced to fight for the rebel groups.[38]
Physical effects
Sexual abuse results in severe emotional and often physical trauma.[40] Among sexual assault victims over 18, 31.5% of females and 16.1% of males said that they incurred non-genital injuries from the assault.[41]
Male victims received more ancillary injuries and were more likely to be threatened with a weapon by the perpetrator. The symptoms and injuries most frequently noted are tension headaches, ulcers, nausea, colitis, abrasions to the throat, black eyes and broken bones. The study by Stermac and colleagues (2004) noted that 45% of male survivors who went to a hospital sexual assault centre had some type of physical injury (25% soft tissue injury, 20% lacerations).[3][5][34][42]
The data from hospital emergency rooms show that male rape victims are more likely to have non-genital injuries than females, and that they are more likely to neglect seeking medical attention if the injuries are not significant. Hodge and Canter (1998) report that homosexual male victims are more likely to sustain serious injuries than heterosexual male victims. Sometimes victims become infected by a sexually transmitted disease as the result of rape, but it is infrequent and includes only a small portion of male victims.[5]
Psychological effects
Rape victims, males and females, may find it difficult to report the sexual assault against them. There is a myth that a male sexual assault victim will become a perpetrator themselves. This myth is very damaging to victims, both to their mental states and to how people treat them.[26] Elizabeth Donovan, a psychotherapist, stated that males have the added burden of facing a society that does not believe that rape can happen to them at all.[27]
Since most studies have found that people tend to blame the victim of rape for the incident, a study called Gender Differences in Attributions of Blame for Male Rape Victims in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence focused on where the blame lies in rape cases. In cases of female rape victims, a higher proportion of males than females tend to blame the victim for the sexual assault. In order to show whether male or female respondents blamed the rape victim at a higher rate, this study utilized a story of a man being raped to see if the blame was placed on the victim or the assaulter. After performing the experiment, researchers found that a statistically significant proportion of males tend to blame the victim, even when the rape victim is a male.[43] This study implies that even in cases of male sexual victimization, the male victims are held responsible for the assault by the majority of the uninvolved population.
Long-term effects
Compared to men who have not been sexually assaulted, men who were sexually assaulted before age 18 have a greater risk of having mental health problems, including symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression; alcoholism and drug abuse; suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts; problems in intimate relationships; and underachievement at school and at work.[44]
Because of gender expectations, being a male child victim of sexual abuse can lead to:[45]
- Pressure to prove his manhood physically and sexually (becoming stronger and engaging in dangerous or violent behavior; having multiple female sexual partners).
- Confusion over gender and sexual identity.
- Sense of being an inadequate man.
- Sense of lost power, control, and confidence to his manhood.
- Problems with closeness and intimacy.
- Sexual problems.[note 4]
- Fear of becoming 'homosexual' or 'gay'.
- Homophobia.
Suicide possibility
The suicide rate for sexually abused males is 14 to 15 times higher than for other males.[46] McDonald and Tijerino found in their research that some participants state that there were occasions on which they felt so bad that they engaged in self-harming behaviors, including suicide attempts, and/or had suicidal thoughts.[42] There is also a study that shows that rape victims are 4.1 times more likely to contemplate suicide and 13 times more likely to attempt suicide than non-crime victims.[47]
Males have a much higher rate of completed suicide than females.[48] One common explanation relies on the social constructions of hegemonic masculinity and femininity. In a review of the literature on gender and suicide, male suicide rates were explained in terms of traditional gender roles. Male gender roles tend to emphasize greater levels of strength, independence, and risk-taking behavior.[49] Reinforcement of this gender role often prevents males from seeking help for suicidal feelings and depression.[50]
Healing therapy
Sexual assault victims need extensive emotional and psychological healing after the raping, but male survivors are not likely to speak out their cases. Elizabeth Donovan, a psychotherapist, said; "Males have the added burden of facing a society that doesn't believe rape can happen to them ... at all."[27]
United States
The CDC reports in 2010 stated that nearly 1 in 5 women, 1 in 71 men in the U.S. have been raped or have had an experience of attempted rape, while 4.8% of men (1 in 21) reported they were made to penetrate someone else at some time in their lives.[9] Incidents of sexual violence in US are severely underreported, especially among male victims, that lead to an assumption that the actual number is likely higher.[27]
Stephanie Baird, a trauma recovery counselor, cited the "hot-for-teacher or babysitter complex" that is a popular motif in modern American culture. The culture makes it more difficult for a male adolescent to even recognize that he is being abused. She explained that consent means "being of age, mind, sound body to make an informed decision about whether one would like to become sexually intimate with the other person", while children cannot consent.[27]
United Kingdom
The most recent UK government statistics estimated about 78,000 people in the UK have become rape or attempted rape victims, and about 9,000 are men.[51] Research suggests that the notoriously low report rate is particularly true among male victims. About 1,250 incidents of male-victim rape were reported to the police in 2011–2012.[51] In February 2014, the ministry of justice set aside £500,000 to provide counseling and support for sexually abused males.[51]
No official statistics are collected[citation needed]. However, the United Nations' 2013 Multi-Country Study on Men and Violence in Asia and the Pacific found that 3% of Chinese men surveyed acknowledged having been raped by another man during their lifetime (suggesting that the proportion of male rapes as a percentage of all rapes was 14.4%).[52]
Hong Kong
According to research by the University of Hong Kong and UBS Optimus Foundation, sexual assault rates of boys are 2.7% higher than girls.[53]
Taiwan counted 12,066 victims of reported sexual assault in 2012 of which 1,335 victims were men. The Ministry of Interior showed that 7,608 minors were rape or sexual assault victims, with 1,063 of them being boys. To prevent the increasing number of these crimes, Taiwan's Ministry of Education had released a short film on sexual education. The netizens (Internet users) and students of Taiwan are treating it as a subject of jokes.[54] However, National Academy of Educational Research Secretary-General Kuo Kung-pin stated that the video has achieved its purpose to get attention from the youth to remind them that men can be raped as well.[55]
The rape of males in India is commonly underreported. For this reason, some activists and research organizations, including Jai Vipra at the New Delhi think-tank Centre for Civil Society, argue that the phrasing of rape laws should be gender-neutral.[56] This view is opposed by some human rights advocates and women's rights activists. Mumbai-based human rights lawyer Flavia Agnes told the India Times, "I oppose proposal [sic] to make rape laws gender-neutral. We had opposed it when the government made child rape laws gender-neutral ... If made gender-neutral, rape laws will not have the deterrence value and it will make it more complicated for judges in court." International human rights lawyer and activist Vrinda Grover was quoted in the same article: "There are no instances of women raping men. I don't think men are facing serious sexual violence as [sic] women. Consider the brutality and intensity of sexual violence against women."[57]
The news about rape of males in Indonesia arouses astonishment or jokes.[note 5] The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia -KPAI) records about 400 Indonesian children become victims of sexual assault per year, both by their families and other adults. According to the Secretary General of KPAI, Erlinda, "the majority of children who are victims of sexual violence are males, because boys are vulnerable to become the victims of sexual offenders because they are easily persuaded by the perpetrators who are pedophiles.[58]
Emayartini (2013) became the first Indonesian woman to be sentenced to prison because she had raped six teenage boys.[59] She almost escaped the law after she was considered to have a mental disorder.[60] Unlike male rapists, she was subjected to the Law Number 23 Year 2002 about Child Protection, rather than the laws against rape.
National laws
United States
The FBI's Uniform Crime Report in 2012 redefined rape as: "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." The prior definition had not changed since 1927 and gained the attention of sexual assault awareness groups because it had alienated the victims who did not fit the definition – "the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will".[27] The former definition of "forcible rape" focused on vaginal penetration, but the newer definition includes forcible anal or oral penetration. The old definition, "the carnal knowledge of a female, forcibly and against her will", did not include forcible oral or anal penetration, the rape of women with other objects, or the rape of a man.[61]
This new definition encourages male rape victims to seek the help they need and also includes sexual assaults that previously were not covered by the definition of rape. The basis for changing this definition lies in the statistics provided by governmental institutions such as the U.S. Department of Justice and the CDC. A study done by the CDC found that 1 in 71 men had been raped or had been the target of attempted rape. This study included oral and anal penetration in its definition but did not include men in prison or men made to penetrate.[1] Gender-neutral laws have combated the perception that rape rarely occurs to men,[62] and other laws have eliminated the term rape altogether.[note 6]
United Kingdom
Previously, English law did not include rape of males as a criminal offense and it was recorded as non-consensual buggery. A convicted rapist (of a female) could be imprisoned for life, stated Henry Leak, the chairman of Survivors organization, while buggery only carried 10 years maximum as a sentence.[34] This is however no longer the case; the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 s. 142 was the first to lead this development and recognize male-victim rape; and the Sexual Offences Act 2003 states that penetration of the "mouth, anus or vagina with [the defendant's] penis" is sufficient for rape at s. 1(1)(a). R v Ismail [2005] All ER 216 further prevented distinction between "mouth, anus or vagina" when sentencing. Under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 and the Sexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 2008 men can be both perpetrators and victims. However, in all parts of the United Kingdom a female cannot be legally charged with 'rape' (she must be instead charged with other offenses such as sexual assault, assault by penetration, or causing sexual activity without consent, of which the latter two carry the same maximum sentence).
Before 2015, article 236 of the revised Criminal Law of China specifies that the crime of rape may be committed only against women. It protects women's right to sexual autonomy but not men's.[63] In 2011, the first-ever conviction for sexual assault on a man occurred with a Beijing security guard as the perpetrator, but he was convicted of intentional injury rather than rape, sentenced to one year in prison and to pay 20,000 yuan ($3,026) as compensation. A convicted rapist will get at least three years in prison.[64][65]
The guidelines of China on child protection strengthen the punishments for sexual offenses against underage girls, but don't offer equal protection to underage boys. Molestation of both sexes is treated equally at present, but the rapists of boys can only be charged with child molestation with 5 years in prison as a maximum sentence. In September 2013, 27 NGOs called for the law to give equal protection to boys below 18 years old in cases of sexual offences.[63]
Until November 1, 2015, sexual offences against males above the age of 14 could not be prosecuted unless they also included a physical assault, in which case only the physical component was punishable. However, a revision of Article 237, which criminalises "forcible indecency," made that section of the law gender-neutral. Offences that constitute rape of males may be tried under this article, with offenders facing a maximum of five years in prison.[66]
The Indian Penal Code, Section 377, is the only section that criminalizes all acts of nonconsensual carnal intercourse,[67] including male-on-male rape.[56]
Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine. Explanation: Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offense described in this section.
This section penalizes both consensual and forced sodomy[clarification needed] with 10 years minimum to life imprisonment. The Delhi HC stated that Section 377 of Indian Penal Code will continue to govern non-consensual penile, non-vaginal sex and penile non-vaginal sex involving minors. The section can be evoked to punish sodomites, pedophiles and zoophiles.[67]
The rape definition in Section 375 of Indian Penal Code does not include rape in which males are the victims. The Indian government (2012) decided to change the definition of "rape" as forcible penetration to include male victims, but was criticized on the grounds that this would further harm the interests of female rape victims.[67][68]
In the 2013 Criminal Law (Amendment) Ordinance, rape and sexual harassment crimes were gender neutral. The term "rape" was removed and substituted with "sexual assault". But strong objections were raised by feminist groups that made the Indian government decided to restore the term "rape" and state that only men can be the rapists of women.[56][69]
Based on Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana (Indonesian's Penal Code), males cannot be the victims of rape.[70] In paragraph 285, rape is defined as a sexual violence against a female having a sentence of imprisonment for a maximum of 12 years, while in paragraph 289, the victim of "vulgar actions" is not defined as male or female and the punishment is a maximum of 9 years imprisonment.[71] The commentary on paragraph 285 by R. Soesilo stated that the law makers didn't need to determine the punishment for a female perpetrator that forced males to have intercourse with her. This is not because such action is not possible, but the act is deemed to not do harm or result in something bad to male victims, such as pregnancy in females.[72]
Prior to the 1997 amendment of Revised Penal Code of 1930, male victims of rape were not acknowledged under Philippine law. Article 266-A of the law defines rape by "an act of sexual assault" by any person either by "inserting his penis into another person's mouth or anal orifice" or inserting "any instrument or object, into the genital or anal orifice of another person".The 1997 amendment allowed the legal recognition of rape of males, both by other males and by females.[73]
However there are different penalties for the offense of raping of boys compared to doing the same act to girls. Rape against boys is considered by law as rape by sexual assault, which carries a lesser penalty of six to 12 years of imprisonment while rape against girls are penalized by life imprisonment.[74]
Male victims of rape are not acknowledged in Singapore law. A male rape victim is not considered a rape victim under S375(1) of Penal Code, which defines rape as the act of a man penetrating a woman's vagina with his penis without her consent. Penetration of other body orifices is not rape but an unlawful sexual penetration (S376(1), Penal Code). Both crimes carry the same penalty: imprisonment for a term of up to 20 years plus fine or caning. (S375(2) and S376(4), Penal Code).[75]
