“ The Oxford Companion to the Body dates the origin of the pubic wig to the 1450s. According to the publication, women would shave their pubic hair for personal hygiene and to combat pubic lice. They would then don a merkin. Also, sex workers would wear a merkin to cover up signs of disease, such as syphilis.[1][2]”

[ToloNews] At least two people were killed and ten others were maimed after members allegedly belonging to local forces opened fire on a gathering at a wedding party in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. on Friday, the family claimed on Saturday.
According to the family, the incident took place on Friday night in Marghondai village of Surkroad district.
The family claims that the forces belonged to a local checkpoint.
"I told them that they are young--let them play the music--
...one sees the family's mistake immediately...
but they dragged me back and opened fire, some of the boys were maimed and two others were killed," said Noor Hazrat, a family member of the victims.
The Islamic Emirate spokesmen said the button men do not belong to the Islamic Emirate, adding the incident was caused by a personal dispute.
“They thought they were free. They were shown their error.”
Local officials confirmed the incident and said an investigation had been launched.
A security source told TOLOnews that two perpetrators had been arrested for firing.
The witness said the attackers also broke the musical instruments.
"It was nearly midnight. Three people entered the house. One of them broke the musical instruments and then went out and then opened fire on approximately 50 people," said Abdul Bassir, a witness.
The maimed were transferred to the provincial hospital.
"A person was shot in the leg. I wanted to help him. When I drove the car, one of them told me to go but another one opened fire," said Abdul Fawad, one of the maimed.
"They opened fire and then escaped," said Sayed Akbar, one of the maimed.
Taliban ...Arabic for students... fighters rubbed out two wedding guests who were listening to music, local officials and a witness said Saturday, forcing Afghanistan’s new government to insist such attacks are not authorized.A relative of the victims said Taliban fighters had opened fire while music was being played at a wedding in Sorkhrud, in Nangarhar province in the east of the country, killing two and wounding two more.
Music was banned the last time the Taliban ruled Afghanistan and, while the new government has not yet issued such a decree, its leadership still frowns on its use in entertainment and sees it as a breach of Islamic law.
"The young men were playing music in a separate room and three Taliban fighters came and opened fire on them. The injuries of the two maimed are serious," he told news hounds.
Qazi Mullah Adel, front man for the Taliban governor in Nangarhar, confirmed the incident but did not provide further details. A security source said the two men who attacked the wedding are now in jug.
In Kabul, government front man Zabihullah Mujahid said he could not confirm the incident, but promised that it was not Taliban policy to execute music lovers.
"Investigations are continuing. So far, it’s not clear how it happened," he said. "Is it a personal matter or what?
"In the ranks of the Islamic Emirate no one has the right to turn anyone away from music or anything, only to try to persuade them. That is the main way," he told a news conference.
"If anyone kills someone by himself, even if they are our personnel, that is a crime and we will introduce them to the courts and they will face the law."
The previous Taliban government between 1996 and 2001 imposed a very strict interpretation of Islamic law and harsh public punishments.
But, since returning to power in mid-August after overthrowing the US-backed government the Taliban, seeking international recognition and an end to sanctions, has tried to show a more moderate face.
[Garowe] Two soldiers were killed in an al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... attack on a Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... military base in Af-Urur of the Bari region on Saturday morning, residents said.
The attack began with mortars fired by Al-Shabaab at a military base in the Galgala mountains and the army responded with heavy weapons.
Witnesses said they heard sporadic gunfire after the attack near the village as Puntland troops managed to remain in control of the key base.
Al-Shabaab has carried out similar attacks on Af-Urur in mid-2017, killing more than 40 soldiers and civilians, the deadliest single-day attack.
Puntland faces double threats to its security from al-Shabaab and ISIS-linked Death Eaters which set up a base in the Bari region in 2015 to wage a terrorist insurgency.
The state forces have been carrying out routine operations in Galgala and hotbed of terror areas in the region for the past few months to maintain security.
[IsraelTimes] Thousands of Sudan ese march in streets against ouster of civilian government, as West calls for military leaders to show restraint
Sudanese security forces rubbed out two people Saturday during mass protests against the country’s recent military coup, a doctors’ union said. The shootings came despite repeated appeals by the West to Sudan’s new military rulers to show restraint and allow peaceful protests.
During the protests, thousands of Sudanese marched into the streets, chanting "revolution, revolution" to the sound of whistles and drums, to protest against the coup that is threatening to derail the country’s fitful transition to democracy.
Eyewitnesses said that a car bomb exploded at the first gate of the airport near the hotel.
In addition to ten victims, there are at least 12 more people who were injured. It is known that five people are in serious condition. Teams of doctors and rescuers are working at the scene of the tragedy.
None of the groups operating in Yemen have yet claimed responsibility for the explosion. The police are specifying the exact number of dead and injured, as well as material damage.

(ISIS) hard boyz attacked Peshmerga forces in Kirkuk province’s Altun Kupri district on Saturday, reportedly killing two Peshmerga fighters, according to a statement from Kurdistan’s Directorate General of Counter Terrorism (CTD).
The attack by the hard boyz happened at Zorgazraw region of Kirkuk’s Altun Kupri district, around 40 kilometers northwest of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... where two Peshmerga fighters were killed, according to the statement from CTD.
A statement from the Ministry of Peshmerga identified the two dead as Khalid Hameed and Ako Karim.
Nuri Hama Ali, a commander of the Peshmerga forces in Kirkuk told Rudaw over the phone that they are looking into the attack and resulting casualties.
A Peshmerga told Rudaw on the condition of anonymity that a number of Peshmerga have been injured in the attack.

Hackers believed to be linked to Iran have breached an Israeli internet hosting company, taking down several of its sites, local media outlets report.https://t.co/zf1yl8IMoF
Hackers believed to be linked to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... have breached an Israeli internet hosting company, taking down several of its sites, local media reported.
The cyberattack hit websites including of Israeli public transport companies Dan and Kavim, a children’s museum and public radio’s online blog, with none of the sites available to users by midday Saturday.
The hacking group known as Black Shadow grabbed credit for the attack and published what it said was client data, including the names, email addresses and phone numbers of Kavim clients, on the Telegram messaging app.
"Hello Again! We have news for you," the hackers wrote in a message on Telegram on Friday night.
"You probably could not connect to many websites today. ’Cyberserve’ company and their customers (were) hit by us," it said.
"If you don’t want your data leak(ed) by us, contact us SOON."
Later another message read: "They did not contact us... so (the) first data is here," with the group dumping the information online.
Israeli media said Black Shadow is a group of Iran-linked hackers who use cyberattacks for criminal ends.
The group breached Israel’s Shirbit insurance firm in December last year, stealing a trove of data.
It demanded a $1 million ransom and began leaking the information when the firm refused to pay.
The new attack comes after an unprecedented, unclaimed cyberattack wrought havoc on Iran’s petrol distribution system this week.
Iranian media have pointed the finger at government opponents abroad.
Iran and Israel have been engaged in a so-called "shadow war", including several reported attacks on Israeli and Iranian ships that the two have blamed on each other, as well as cyberattacks.
In 2010 the Stuxnet virus — believed to have been engineered by Israel and its ally the US — infected Iran’s nuclear program, causing a series of breakdowns in centrifuges used to enrich uranium.

[AnNahar] An Israeli missile strike killed five pro-Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike "destroyed a Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... and Iranian weapons and ammunition" convoy heading towards Leb ...In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial... At least five pro-Iranian fighters were killed and several maimed, said the war monitor.
Earlier state news agency SANA, quoting a military source, said two Syrian soldiers were maimed after explosions were heard in the Syrian capital.
"The Israeli enemy fired a salvo of surface-to-surface missiles from northern occupied Paleostine targeting positions near Damascus," SANA said.
"Our anti-aircraft defenses were activated and were able to hit some of the enemy missiles," the source said, adding that the attack maimed two soldiers and caused damage.
AFP correspondents in Damascus heard multiple explosions at around midday.
Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Israel has routinely carried out air strikes inside Syria, mostly targeting Syrian government troops as well as allied Iranian and Lebanese Hizbullah forces.
It is rare for Israel to carry out strikes on Syrian targets during daylight hours.
Strikes were reported in the areas of al-Dimas, Qudsaya and al-Mezzah military air base — all located west of Damascus.
According to the Observatory and Syrian media reports, the strike targeted advanced weaponry and ammunition depots belonging to Hezbollah, Iranian forces and allied militias.
The targets of the strike were all located in areas known to host Syrian air defenses as well as arms warehouses.
