Malala Yousufzai Receives Women’s Human Rights Award (maybe Nobel, but theres so many others, Manyanmar, Columbia, Africa on & on) world.time.com Malala's Facebook page facebook.com!/malalablog Mr Latif comments facebook.com!/ikelatif "Nothing will hurt more the process of 'Talibinsation all over the nation of Islam' but a Nobel Peace Prize for Malala Yusufzai. She defied the most terrible reincarnation of thuggish brutality rearing its ugly tentacles all over. These unknown Assassins were addressed as such by me : Listen murderer! Uncivilized, coarse, vulgar, loutish being. You just cannot take my pen and my paper away for “I would rather die having spoken in my manner, than speak in your manner and live.” Be ready for the change? Your obsolete dogma will breathe its last sighs very soon. You are a wrath of ignorance and a consequent curse on a society. The mankind will soon break the crutches of “extremist underpinnings” that have influenced “you” so far. This one little “14 years old” girl, resting from a near-martyrdom, has rocked and exposed your absolute subhuman ideological thuggery to the core.... The conscience of a nation that had gone into a “Rip Van Winkle” of a sleep, has stirred with vengeance to see the precise enemy demonstrating its nastiest insignia of killing hapless girls. The self arrogant belief that heavenly bliss awaits as “honour rewards” for marring Malala. You hate “education” as you know completely well that it is “education” graduates a man from a “brute thug” like you to a refined creature. You are destined probably for the lowest depths of hell instead. The adversary of intellect is far worse an enemy than someone who lusts for blood. Deplorably you are the face of two evils combined in one; you hate knowledge as well hate all “those who seek it.” In the face of wanton tragedies you inflict on us, we need to recollect our persona and hunt for that constructive vigour that should be the consequence of “eternal insults” that you render on our bodies and intellect. You heard this girl- a 14 year old , the personification of “finesse, brilliance and uncommon valour” in face of your “ruthless” assault on her foundations, this is unusual resistance and upshot of “your” unremitting censure"

Welcome to the "Age of Internet Empires.'' You can be the 'New Emperor' with a global Empire where the sun may never set, in this 'Age of Internet Empires' you may have a role cut out for you, if you have ideas that can shape the world of... tomorrow. The beginning of the 'Age of Internet Empires' is quite obvious, the ascendancy of Google and Face book over any other site on the Web is clearly perceptible. Pre-eminence of these information super giants will characterize the contours of the ideas that will dominate the world. The 'Emperor of the future' unlike the past emperors from Odysseus to Emperor Napoleon do not really need battalions of swords, guns, tanks or nukes. Nations and individuals today would need superfluity and overabundance of ideas that may be ground breaking to rule the world of tomorrow. Emperors of the past as we know well were prisoners of geography, jingoism and distance; beggining from Odysseus, immortalized in Homer’s epic 'The Odyssey.' Caesar, known as Augustus, the first emperor of the Roman Empire who ruled from 27 BC until his assassination in 14 AD. Alexander the Great, known for his legendary military tactics, probably one of the best if not the best military commanders of all time. Charlemagne, the King of the Franks from 768 to his death. Napoleon I of France, Emperor Napoleon, an outstanding military leader of France who left an influence European politics for at least for two centuries. With the evolution of cyber space and the 'death of distance' we have now new cyber empires, the one who shall control the cyber specks will control the new Empire. The map here highlights the clear dominance of two major global companies Google and Face book, red and blue cover most of the map, superimposed on an illustration of an old colonial map, named after a computer game series 'Age of Empire.' The worldwide access to information is controlled by these new companies. However, Google is overshadowing its arch rival on the Internet, if we look at the second most visited website in every country, it is obvious amongst the 50 countries that have Face book listed as the most visited website, 36 of them have Google as the second most visited, and the remaining 14 countries list YouTube - Google owned. Be creative and open-minded, in this age, there is no place for hiding those pursuing unbendable close-mindedness and intolerance. The cyber age of reason and rationalism is upon us, it is such a sad thing to witness half the world population still firmly entrenched in the antiquated and outmoded ideological theocratic decadence of the medieval age. Open your mind to the wonderments of the world. facebook.com!/ikelatif
