Apparently the girl that sang on Encore Une Fois by Sash is going to be our Eurovision entrant this year. I haven't heard the song yet; this might appear in Pissed Off when I have.
Edit: Oh, no, she sang on some re-release mashup remix of it from 2008. I was wondering why Encore Une Fois needed a singer.

Pretty cool story about a guy who invented a machine to allow women to make their own cheap sanitary pads in India.
The guy's wife and mother moved out and he had to leave his village over developing the machine. He refused the patent on the machine. Some of the shit, superstitions and social stigma he had to overcome is amazing.
He supplied his group of medical students with sanitary pads and collected them afterwards. He laid his haul out in the back yard to study, only for his mother to stumble across the grisly scene one afternoon. It was the final straw. She cried, put her sari on the ground, put her belongings into it, and left. "It was a problem for me," he says. "I had to cook my own food."
Worse was to come. The villagers became convinced he was possessed by evil spirits, and were about to chain him upside down to a tree to be "healed" by the local soothsayer. He only narrowly avoided this treatment by agreeing to leave the village. It was a terrible price to pay. "My wife gone, my mum gone, ostracised by my village" he says. "I was left all alone in life."
