We've Found The G-Spot

Researchers at Kings College had studied 1,800 women and found no evidence of the fabled erogenous zone. They said it might be a myth encouraged by magazines and sex therapists.
But their counterparts across the channel - quick to defend their nation's reputation as better lovers - say the Brits were just unable to find the spot. Conference organiser Sylvain Mimoun declared that 60 per cent of women have a G-spot, it just needs to be discovered.
He said: 'In discovering the sensitive parts of her own body, this sensitive zone will become more and more functional. But if she has never touched it and no one else has ever touched it, it won't exist for her as a consequence.'

Leading French surgeon Pierre Foldes said: 'The King's College study shows a lack of respect for what women say.

'The conclusions were completely erroneous because they were based solely on genetic observations.

'It is clear that in female sexuality there is a variability. It cannot be reduced to a yes or no or an on or off.'

Gynaecologist Odile Buisson went further, saying the British character was responsible for a 'totalitarian' attitude. She said: 'I don't want to stigmatise at all but I think the Protestant, liberal, Anglo-Saxon character means you are very pragmatic.

'There has to be a cause for everything, a gene for everything. It's totalitarian'.

In the British study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 1,804 women between 23 and 83 filled in questionnaires. All were pairs of identical or non-identical twins.

If a G-spot did exist, it would be expected that both identical twins, who have the same genes, would report having one. But in cases where one twin reported having the zone, the scientists found that no pattern emerged of the other having it.

In fact, identical twins were no more likely to share a G-spot than non-identical twins, who only share half their genes. Co-author Andrea Burri said: 'It is rather irresponsible to claim the existence of an entity that has never been proven and pressurise women - and men too.'

Becarefull with your ATM

"Skimming is only a term, basically it means copying the data of a magnetic card illegally," stated Ruby when contacted Wednesday evening.

However he said that to crack into an account, a perpetrator also needs to know the PIN. In his act, a perpetrator would need a magnetic card reader device.
It's a simple device that can be disassembled for portability, and sold freely in the market. Usually the device is modified in such a way that it would be undetectable by the customer when placed on an ATMs card slot .

"It would read the data of the magnetic ATM card that goes through it. The data is recorded in its memory."

The record would be used to copy or clone the ATM card. Aside from this device, the perpetrator would also install a camera to peek at the customer's PIN.
The camera is tiny, it's called a pin hole spycam. Again this device is sold freely in the market. "Because its (the camera's) shape is thin it can be attached on the ATM, directed at the keypad to enter PINs."

The recording time of the camera can be sychronized with the magnetic card reader's time. Next, with a magnetic card writer, the ATM card can be cloned by copying the data into a blank card.
"It's a fast, instant process that can be done on the spot."

The card can even be cloned to any number desired. Once a card has been skimmed, the account can be cracked by multiple perpetrators.

According to Ruby, this crime is not a new kind. Considering that all of the required devices are sold freely, whether legally or illegally. Magnetic card reader, spycam, and magnetic card writer, all of which can be bought separately or in one set specifically sold for malicious purposes.

"An ATM skimmer set can be bought online for about 1,600 US dollars. One could order now, and wait for the goods to come in a few days." This means anyone can perform this crime. "It doesn't have to be a hacker. Anyone with an evil intent can do it."
The precautions

Although there's no absolute solution at least Ruby suggests that the following precautions. Before you insert your card, pay attention to the slot.
A reader device is only made of gypsum so it's often cracked and there's no way to attach it firmly to the ATM's card slot, sometimes it's only taped or glued to the slot. Try shaking the slot a bit hard.
If the slot comes off, then it's a reader device. Another tell-tale is that the color of the device is often similar but a little off compared with the rest of the ATM.
Next watch out for the tiny camera. It might be attached somewhere on the ATM or among a pile of leaflets beside the ATM.
Anything that points to the keypad should be checked first. Naturally, it's safer to go to ATMs protected by security guards and to avoid the old models, especially those in open places.
