How to Write Your Author Bio for Your Book Proposal For years, I was the assistant editor at a small press. It was my job to evaluate each book proposal we received and, while the pieces of a proposal seem, on the surface, to be quite simple, many authors miss the mark. Most presses and agents want the same things: a letter of introduction that states succinctly why your book is special, a focused book synopsis, a couple of stellar sample chapters, and a brief author bio. As you’ve written your book, it’s possible that you’ve invested so much in the story that you’ve forgotten that you are part of what sells it. So, how can you – in a few short sentences – write an author bio for your book proposal that makes you look great? First, remember that, when writing your bio for a book pitch, you should be writing in the first person. This isn’t a time for a jacket bio – that’s something your publisher will write (and will write in the 3rd person). You’re writing this as a way of introducing yourself to your prospective press or agent so keep it in the first person. Second, keep it professional… even if you don’t have any professional writing credits yet. Everyone got their start somewhere and, if you’re shoehorning in things that you think make you seem like a more legitimate writer, it’s a dead giveaway that you’re not confident in your abilities as a writer. Rather than including tidbits like, “I have completed several unpublished works,” focus on things that – while not necessarily writing-specific – lend your subject matter credibility. Think professional organizations, historic associations, and writing groups. Third, don’t be afraid to add a little something personal. If your book touches on a subject that warrants it, add a line about how you’ve been personally affected by it. For example, if you’ve written a book about surviving your dissertation while under a lot of family stress, you may want to note, “Lily completed her dissertation in 2005, the same year that she gave birth to her first child.” It adds credibility, while putting a personal face on the story you’re telling and advice you’re giving. Fourth, when in doubt, keep it simple. If you feel like your bio is getting too long, it probably is. If you question including a piece of information, you should probably cut it. This isn’t a place to tell your life story, but give a brief description of who you are and why you wrote your book. Every element of your bio should go towards that purpose. Finally, edit your bio for each book proposal you send, paying special attention to the press or agent you’re querying. As with all elements of the pitch process, a blanket approach will yield less-than-desirable results. Look at your bio along with the mission of the press or speciality of the agent. Does your bio include reasons that they specifically would want to sign you? If not, open up a new document and start again. Are you happy with your author bio?

"You've been avoiding Dr Cox since Jordan told you her baby was actually his." "This chance meeting is a sign." "Time to let go of the secret." "You just need to find a smooth way in." "Hey, Dr Cox." "T aking a whizz?" "We've been over this before, Newbie." "Eyes front, no talking." "OK, fine, I'll just read the wall." ""JD has a tiny pickle."" "Kudos for honesty there, Newbie, but again no talking." "Dr Cox, I have to tell you something." "Aw, Perry, you pee standing up at work?" "That is so cute." "Would you come on?" "We're on a tight schedule." "You know, with all the baby weight you haven't lost yet," "I went ahead and assumed you'd be used to tight things by now." "Aw, that's lovely." "Well, hello, sailor." "Ahoy." "My goodness, Newbie, are you so uncomfortable with Jordan here that you've in fact, stopped peeing mid-stream?" "I may have." "Yes!" "I wonder why Dr Cox and Jordan got divorced." "They act like they hate each other, but that's just for show." "Yeah, whatever." "Are you going to stretch before you play?" "Turk likes to blow off steam by playing basketball before surgery." "I always get my ass kicked but not today." "And that's game." "How the hell did we lose?" "We have Chet." " Sorry, man." " Chet, you suck." "You know what?" "Some stereotypes are true, Turk, OK." "And just maybe, black people are a little better at basketball." "What do you say?" " Maybe a little." " Y'all got hockey." "Why do you think they got divorced?" "No idea." "I can't believe you had to pee in front of Jordan." "I could not do that." "Paul's my boyfriend and I make him turn the TV way up when I go." "Plus, he's not allowed in the apartment an hour before or after I do twosies." "You're a doctor." "Stop calling it twosies." "Oh, with patients I say dookie." "Oh, dookie." "Well, Maggie, I can only assume you are wiling away the morning cat-chatting with your favourite gal pal because you've finished pre-rounding." " Haven't started yet." " What?" " Gotcha." "Finished." " That's a good one." " Quite the prankster." " I could tell some stories." "If there's a God, you never will." "This is Mrs Grayson's chart." "Her private-practice doctor just showed up so I am off this one." "Well, is there anything I need to do for her lung nodule?" "I don't know, what do you say start her on 20 CCs of "it's not my problem anymore?"" "Another pretentious private-practice guy who'll order me around while he counts his money all day." " Hey, you must be JD." " He knows my name." "I'm Dr Fisher, I go by Pete." "Never call me Petey, we'll be friends for life." "Look at this." "Don't believe me?" "I already got you a latte." " Thanks." "A latte." " That's funny." " We got a good one, Sally." " How's that funny?" "Ah, just go with it." "I always pull pranks." "Before, Dr Cox was like, "Did you do pre-rounding?"" "Sorry to interrupt." "I do wanna hear that story." "Could you get a pulmonary consult for Sally?" "Yeah..." "You're thinking why didn't you do that, but would it overstep boundaries?" "What if I was a territorial ass with a giant ego or a territorial ego with a giant ass?" "Stop me, Sally!" "You're gonna help me." "Help me get Sally out of bed," "That way, I can go back to trying to get her into bed." " Stop!" " You stop, foxy lady." "You're doing great." "From now on, follow your instincts." "And you, don't flirt so much." "Wanna make him jealous?" "No." "Thanks a latte." "Thanks a lot." "Thanks a latte." "I got it!" "At a hospital, there's always one sure way to deal with boredom." "You guys wanna go laugh at the narcoleptic guy?" "It's insensitive, but let's face it, narcolepsy is a funny condition." "And it can be triggered by a number of things." "Like stress." "Or anger from, say, three double bogies in a row." " Or, in Mr Hilliard's case..." " Sexual arousal?" "I'm going in." "Is falling asleep after sex considered narcolepsy, cos if it is, Mr Roberts has got it." "First she'll stick her chest out and then she'll toss her hair." "That's sexy." " Pen drop." " Oops." "That did it." "Hell, yeah." "I have a boyfriend." "Work is going well." "I feel cute for the first time in my life." "My self-esteem cannot be touched." "It's been so weird since I got engaged." "You're right, I'll never get married." "Message received." " This is about me." " Really?" "Oh, OK." "I don't feel attractive at all lately," "like I've lost my spark or something." "Remember what Kelso said about your hair yesterday?" "It makes you look frumpy." " I thought he said clumpy." " How is that better?" "You don't know." " Morning, boys." " Sir, this is where we play." "Funny, I thought this was where we worked." "Dr Kelso, I have a low anterior resection this afternoon and I'd really like to exercise in order to be at my best." "Well, I'd really like grandkids someday, but the last five Christmases, my son has brought his roommate Brad home, so you tell me whether life is fair." "You did your residency here, too?" "Are you kidding me?" "We lived, we loved, we sang, for crying out loud." "Laverne, remember that time you and I got a little crazy, right?" "Went down to the waterfall, stripped off our scrubs, dove in." " Remember?" " You hitting the crack pipe?" "That's the kinda magic I'm talking about, buddy." " Hey, ladies." " You must know each other." " Dr Cox." " Petey." "Sometimes in an awkward situation, it's best to go to your happy place." "It's not uncommon." "A lot of people keep plants in their apartment." "Right, JD?" "Jay, you're so crazy." "We have a little history, yeah." "What's up his pooper?" "He's mad cos I went into private practice and he's in this hellhole." "That guy was my mentor, man." "I lived and breathed for that guy's approval." "That's lame." "Once you learn his tricks, it's easier." " Tell me about it." " Yeah." "No, I'm serious." "Tell me about it." "Well, you know when he gets on his rants, he gets all hyped up, his veins stick out of his neck and he starts yelling?" "When he's done, look at him, stare him in the eye and say," ""I'm sorry, what were you saying?"" "I don't know why, but it works." "Trust me." "How do you get him to stop calling you girls' names?" " Girls' names?" " Oh, never mind." "Dookies." " I've got to get this thing fixed." " Allow me." "May I?" "Ah, yep." "See what you got here is a Medicom XJ." "It has a hip guard." "I'm guessing it's always coming loose." " It is always coming loose." " Been there, seen it, fixed it." " Give that a try, missy." " Thank you." "For what?" "For doing my job?" "This kinda thing gets me up in the morning." "That and the smell of urinal cakes." " I'll see you around." "Have a good one." " Back at you." " What are you smiling about?" " I just made a new friend." "This is so unfair." "Everyone has a way of taking the edge off." "You and I, we've got basketball, Nurse Roberts has got her stories." "Some guy named DRK loves Ms Pac-Man, cos he's got the high score of 41 million." "DRK?" "Dr Kelso." "Ms Pac-Man, I would sex that bow right off your head." "Eat those dots, you naughty, naughty girl." " Hey, Dr Cox." " Hey, buddy." "I was just thinking about you." "How it might be nice to have somebody around here who could help me out." "Somebody I could call, gosh, my resident, and we'd do stuff together, medical stuff." "It would just be peaches." "But then it occurred to me a guy who looked a hell of lot like you used to be that guy." "Monica, just because you have a new buddy doesn't mean you can suddenly drop your regular duties and I know I just said "drop your duties."" "And so help me God, if you even smile" "I will crush you into two little Newbie cubes and hang you from my rearview mirror." "What you gotta say for yourself?" "Just do it." "I'm sorry, did you say something?" "Welcome to today's lecture: the Biomechanical Reaction Of Dr Perry Cox" "When He's Not Being Listened To." "Stage one:" "The Jaw Clench." "Quickly followed by stage two:" "Syllable Elongation." "Newbie, I re-hee-hee-ly don't have time to repeat myself." "Finally, stage three, Cox begrudgingly offers a little respect, then distances himself by overusing the word "there."" "But I gotta give it to you there for yanking my chain there." "There." "The young soldier is offered a prize for his courage." "Get ready." "I'll tell you what there, Newbie." "If you wanna stick around and help me out with Mrs Riley's pericardiocentisis after work, that'd be great." "I knew this was his way of reaching out, but still..." " I have plans tonight." " What plans?" "Think of something believable." "Grandma died." "No, if she does die, you'll feel awful and she's no spring chicken." "I should call her." "But when we talk, I have nothing to say." "How about asking me how I am for once?" " Newbie." " My grandma died." "Hello, Mr Hilliard." "Hey." "I just wanna make sure you're comfortable." " Who are you?" " They call me Carla." "OK, Carla it is." "Mr Hilliard?" "Do I have something on my Iips?" "Nope." "Totally clean." "I felt guilty about blowing off Dr Cox to grab a beer with Pete." "Of course, that was before we got Nancy as our waitress." "The kid's a doctor, for crying out loud, he saves lives." "That's worthy of your respect, or at least one drunken weekend in Vegas." " Three-day weekend." " Three-day weekend." "Columbus Day." "That's coming up, right?" "Come on." "Everyone deals with problems in their own way." "Some lash out at others." "Some just end up lashing out at themselves." "And some people just try to hide." "Nancy." "Nancy." "Unfortunately, that never works." "Hey, Dr Cox." "Look, I'm so sorry I lied to you last night." "I should've told you I was with Pete." "Did we just slip into some alternate dimension where I give a flying duckie about what you say and do?" "I know he's in private practice and everything, but Pete's a really cool guy." "He is a bad guy." "And Newbie, if you're smart, you will stay away from him." "Oh, my God." "You're actually jealous that I'm hanging out with another doctor." " No, I'm not." " Laverne?" " Jealous." " Ta-da!" "Marsha, if I were you, I'd drop this jealousy thing right now." "Don't worry about it, champ." "It's all right to need me." "Touchdown." " Hi, Happy." " I'm hideous." "I can't even get Todd to make a sex joke." "Watch this." "Todd, I'm out of extra-long tongue depressors." " Do you have one for me?" " Sorry, Carla, I'm all out." "How did he not say, "ln my pants?"" "What is so different about me since I got engaged?" "Wait." "I found one." "It's not made of wood, but give me a minute." "Have you checked Mr Oberman for hypertension?" "Because I've got hypertension right here." "No way..." "Boobies." "Charts." " I know it was you." " You mean this right here?" " This is mine from home." " 40 million, son." "Do you know how many patients I had to ignore to get that high score?" " People died." " Well, what about me, sir?" "I need to play basketball." "Since you lost that stupid game, aren't you more stressed than usual?" "Open!" "Open!" "Open!" " Maybe a little." " So what do we do now?" "Now, this is how you relieve stress." "Dammit to hell." "The janitor's a nice person?" "He is such a sweetie." "I'll ask him an innocuous question, and his answer will be filled with hate." "Filled with it." " How's it going?" " Very well, sir." "Thank you for asking." "How are you?" " Do you not see the hate?" " What is wrong with you?" " That was a good one." " I think so." "All right." "Go." "Hold it." "No." "He's doing it." "What's the deal, Alpha Dog?" "Gonna cut me some slack?" "Petey!" "Petey!" "Petey!" "Petey!" "Petey!" "Petey!" "OK, good answer." "I understand you're seeing Jordan again." "I just wanted to say, seriously, good for you." "Know what would be seriously good for you?" " More bran in my diet?" " Never mention Jordan again." "Do you guys mind if I turn on CNN?" "My grandma bought me a stock." "I wanna see how it's doing." "Look at Rockefeller." "Pass me the remote, buddy?" "Cool, these guys are finally starting to get along." " Or not." " No big deal." "I'll do one of these to change the channel." "We can just leave it on this station." "Mr Hilliard, I like my body." " OK." " I didn't always." "When I was ten years old, my swim coach told me my butt stuck out too much." "Now I like it when my boyfriend looks at my wagon and goes, bam!" "You know?" "I'm OK with my curves." "Women inject God-knows-what into their face to have lips like mine." "Mr Hilliard!" "I can hop out of the shower and look at my body for ten seconds without losing it." "That's more than most women." "But when I can't make you fall asleep, it's like hearing my swim coach's voice again." "And my body doesn't deserve that." " What can I do?" " Fall asleep." " I'm not attracted to you." " Why?" " You remind me of my sister." " But I'm not your sister." "That's what I'm talking about." " Had to be done." " OK, terrific." "Grown-ups tackle each other all the time." "I can't change what already happened." "But believe me, I never meant to come between you and anyone." "Watching Dr Cox and Pete fight over me was..." "Oh, hell, I'll say it." "It was awesome." "You went and took something that did not belong to you." "A little possessive, but I'm flattered." "Worse than that, you did it knowing full well exactly how I felt about her." "He just wouldn't be Dr Cox if he didn't refer to me as a her." "Hey, for what it's worth, I didn't make the first move." "That's a lie." "You bought me a latte." "Hey, guys." "We were having problems." "Problems that you knew about because I confided in you." "What did you do with the information?" "You used it to get Jordan into bed." " Didn't you?" " Perry, come on." "Go." "And finally the reason Dr Cox and his wife got divorced became abundantly clear." "Yes." "Get in there." " Say it." " I'm your bitch." "Don't be too hard on yourself." "You've only been playing this for 56 years." "Dr Kelso, is this young man a guest of yours?" "Dave, I've never seen him before in my life." "Really?" "Dave." "Hey, man, you don't got..." "Yeah, I do." "Don't you run from me." "Kelso!" "Hey, hey, Jack Daniels, what's crackin'?" "My cousin's volleyball team has a game tonight." "Tall girls, tiny shorts." "You in?" " I think I'm gonna pass." " I get it." "Still in Perririno's corner." "That's OK, buddy." "Look, just a word to the wise, all right?" "Just be careful who you hitch your wagon to." "I mean that." "Yikes." "I gotta go." "OK?" "Hi." "Can I buy you a house?" "I guess sometimes it comes down to loyalty." "Hey, Dr Cox." "Still no talking in the bathroom, Newbie." " Know what's weird?" " That you're allowed to talk?" "I never blamed Jordan." "I was chief resident, I was here all the time, and I always made damn sure she knew she came second." "But God Almighty, I'm trying harder this time." "I just hope I'm doing the right thing." "Who cares if Jordan wants to keep it a secret?" "Tell him it's his baby." "Scream it from the mountains." "Dr Cox!" " Oh, there you are." " Hey, babe." "Hi, handsome." "How are you?" "Oh, hello, DJ." " Hey, Jordan." "How you doing?" " Oh." "Around here, you have to grab hold of the littlest victories." "Whether it's victories over your insecurities." "Dr Kelso...?" "Or security's victory over you." "Kelso!" "Either way, you've got to choose your battles." "I want you to tell her the truth." "T ell her that you're a surly, devious, horrible excuse for a human being." "Who's that?" " It's my son." " Oh, my God, JD." "I'm sorry, I didn't even see him there." "No, no, no." "I'm glad he heard it." "I think it's important he sees how the world treats people like us." "I'm so sorry." "Who the hell are you?" "Go on." "Beat it." "Scram!" "All right, stick around."

Taraji P. Henson Is One Leather-Clad Badass Of A Hitwoman In Proud Mary July 20, 2017 Hilary H Sony Taraji P. Henson has long since proven that she can play a fierce femme fatale with aplomb thanks to her star turn on Empire, but the machinations of Cookie Lyon are nothing compared to the intensity of this first look at Proud Mary. Boston crime dramas tend to feature a bunch of dudes with bad accents and an Affleck or two, so it’s great to see a woman taking the lead in what appears to be a redemption story with plenty of lethal detours. Henson stars as—you guessed it—Mary, a hitwoman who cashes checks from one of the crime families in town. She’s got an extremely intimidating collection of firearms and leather, and a very busy schedule, from the looks of it, that involves high-speed chases, plenty of withering stares, and minimal dialogue—so the trappings of a modern action classic, basically. We don’t know a whole lot about the film beyond the fact that she kicks a tonne of ass, takes a bunch of names in the process, and meets a kid who makes her rethink her trigger-pulling occupation. If the trailer track and title are any indication, here’s hoping Proud Mary‘s soundtrack is as awesome as its leading lady. Clearly, Henson is thrilled. So are we.

Q: The Galois representation of a p-divisible group is crystalline Can someone explain (or give a reference) why the Galois representation attached to a p-divisible group over the ring of integers of a p-adic ring is Crystalline? A: This is shown in §6 of Fontaine's paper "Sur certains types de représentations p-adiques du groupe de Galois d'un corps local; construction d'un anneau de Barsotti-Tate", see the point i) after Theorem 6.2. The paper is available on jstor: http://www.jstor.org/pss/2007012

A. Oveta Fuller A. Oveta Fuller is an associate professor of microbiology at University of Michigan Medical School and specializes in research of the Herpes simplex virus as well as HIV/AIDS. She and her research team discovered a B5 receptor, advancing the understanding of the Herpes simplex virus and the cells it attacks. In 2014, she was named associate director of the University of Michigan African Studies Center. Early life and education Fuller was born on August 31, 1955, to her mother, Deborah Woods Fuller, who was a teacher, and her father, Herbert R. Fuller, who ran the family farm. She grew up near Yanceyville, North Carolina where she was the middle child of three. In school, she was inspired by two notable biology teachers: Ms. Elam and Mr. Majette. After graduating from high school, she earned an Aubrey Lee Brooks Scholarship to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from which she received a BA in biology in 1977. Fuller continued on at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to complete her Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology in 1983. Career In 1983 Fuller moved to the University of Chicago for a postdoctoral fellowship, where she was supported by numerous fellowships, including a Ford Postdoctoral Fellowship, Ann Fuller Cancer Fund Postdoctoral Research Fellowship, and a National Institutes of Health Postdoctoral Fellowship. Fuller joined the faculty at University of Michigan Medical School in 1988 as an assistant professor in the department of Microbiology and Immunology. In 1995 she was promoted to associate professor with tenure. Fuller has additionally served as a faculty associate for the Center for Global Health, STEM Initiative, and African Studies Center at the University of Michigan. She is currently the associated director of the African Studies Center, International Institute, at the University of Michigan. Fuller is the pastor at Bethel African Methodist Episocopal Church in Adrian, Michigan, the science advisor the global AME Church, and an adjunct faculty member at Payne Theological Seminary, where she teaches a course in the biology of HIV/AIDS. Research Fuller's research focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms of how pathogenic viruses enter and infect cells. Specifically, her lab studies the pathogenesis of the herpes and HIV/AIDS viruses. She is interested in understanding the modes of action of viral cellular entry and early infection, such as membrane fusion mechanisms. Additionally, Fuller's lab is part of a collaborative effort with chemical engineering and human genetic researchers to develop microchip technologies for early, quick, and inexpensive methods of viral infection detection. Beyond the lab, Fuller has an extensive research program working with the Trusted Messenger Intervention (TMI) program to recruit the help of local religious leaders to address health inequalities with a main focus on HIV/AIDS testing, prevention, and treatment. She has successfully implemented this program within communities in Zambia and the US and more recently has introduced new programs in other countries, including Liberia where the focus has been on preventable diseases such as HIV/AIDS and Ebola virus disease. Awards and recognition Fuller has received numerous awards throughout her career. In addition to the many fellowships she received as a postdoctoral fellow, she has been awarded with an NSF Career Advancement Award in 1992 and as the Woman of the Year in Human Relations by the University of Michigan Task Force in 1998. She has been recognized for her service with the Distinguished Service Award in Microbiology and Ministry from the Missions Society, AME, the Robert Smith Community Service "Humanitarian Award," and her biography was highlighted in "Distinguished African American Scientists of the 20th Century" (Kessler, Kidd, and Morin, Oryx Press, Phoenix, AZ, 1996). She received a Fulbright US Scholar Program award in 2012 and began nine months of research in the Copperbelt region in Zambia in January 2013. The work focused on bringing biomedical information into communities through local religious leaders.

Q: Why can Kimber not protect his own bookies? In Peaky Blinders season 1 Kimber's gang is more powerful than the Peaky Blinders as well as the Lees, but the Lees seem to have no problems robbing Kimber's bookies in broad daylight. Why can Kimber's gang not protect his own interest after Shelby has warned him that the Lees will rob him? A: The exact specifics are never mentioned as far as I'm aware. But based on what we do know, it's not surprising. First off, Kimber generally deals with wealthy people, who are require less coercion compared to working class people - they tend to only bet money they can stand to lose and will generally shy away from any conflict (or things that damage their reputation). This is different from the Shelby bookie ring, which consist of working class betters who are much more liable to not pay up - thus requiring the Shelbys to have a much greater physical presence to enforce betters pay up. There's also the general tendency for the upper classes to be less rough cut anyway (including the willingness for "casual" physical violence). Additionally, having rough goons work for you is going to negatively impact the opinion of the wealthy people who you deal with. No upper class gentleman (or woman) is going to want to deal with a rough cut working class individual. So Kimber's hriing policy will have more focus on classy presentation instead of rough muscle. And up until Tommy gets involved, Kimber didn't really seem to need the extra muscle anyway. Secondly, Kimber is an idiot who is riding the coattails of his name. He may be the face of the operation but his accountant is the real brains. The point I'm making is: the Kimber empire is being run by an accountant, not a fighter nor a criminal. In several scenes, Kimber is shown to be hotheaded and fairly easily fooled (the scene where Tommy interrupts Kimber and Grace's interaction just goes to show how simple it is to spin any story to Kimber and have him believe it), and his accountant is diplomatic but mostly a dealmaker, not an enforcer. All of this leads to the conclusion that Kimber's empire is established but crumbling due to lousy management and simply not having had any conflicts recently. Thirdly, and most importantly, Tommy is actively undermining Kimber. Up until that point, Kimber had no issues, but Tommy made sure that Kimber would be targeted. It puts Kimber in a spot of needing help, and Tommy just so happens to have exactly what Kimber needs: muscle. This opens the door to Tommy, who uses it and then turns on Kimber to usurp his position.

Email this article to a friend On Friday, as cable news networks sought desperately to fill airtime while waiting for the latest news in the aftermath of the Boston bombings, a friend asked me, “How come there’s no manhunt for the owner of the Texas factory, which did far more damage than the Boston bombers?” He was right to wonder. The explosion of the West Fertilizer Company plant on April 17 in West, Texas, killed 14 people, injured more than 160 and destroyed dozens of buildings. Yet unlike its fellow tragedy in Boston, the Texas plant explosion began to vanish from cable TV less than 36 hours after it occurred. Marquee correspondents like Anderson Cooper were pulled out of West and sent back to Boston, and little airtime was spared for updates from Texas, even as many nearby residents remained unaccounted for. The networks seemed to decide covering two big stories was covering one too many, as if we journalists can’t chew gum and walk at the same time. The media’s neglect has greatly increased the danger that the explosion will quickly be forgotten, to the detriment of U.S. workers.

I just read an op-ed about pink pussy-eared hats. You see, after the election, a few knitters suggested a show of solidarity for those marching in the Women’s March in Washington D.C. It is a little yarn nod to the now famous line about a different kind of pussy. The author’s opinion was they were silly. Before that op-ed was a spate of articles opining the pointlessness of wearing a safety-pin. In the last few weeks, more news articles highlighting the rift among the four million strong Pantsuit Nation. What the fuck? Some of us are trying to form a freaking coalition here, people. A super coalition of women, people of color, immigrants, Muslims, Jews, LGBTQ, Environmentalists, Dog Lovers, Vegans, Vaccinators…anyone who feels their voice is drowned out by the voices currently in power. Why would news writers and bloggers, some with huge audiences, think it’s a good idea to get all uppity and start shaming people who are trying to get involved, in ways small and large? I’m not talking about the people who are going to shout “Snowflake!” regardless. That’s a given. I’m talking about people who claim to be progressive. Shut up already. If people want to wear a safety-pin, it’s not, as some posit, simply because they desire visible proof they aren’t a racist. Could it just possibly be because a lot of people feel hopeless and scared and this is a small way to do something? If there are those who are offended, wouldn’t it be more helpful if they could point folks in a direction where help is needed rather than shaming or mocking them? Golly, we’re always telling folks to get involved and yet when they do, we shame them by telling them it’s the wrong way or not enough. On what moral high ground are we shouting from here? Because the view must be pretty damn good. Knitting thousands of pink hats is not, by itself, going to stop the incoming administration from running roughshod over women’s rights. But it is certainly not going to do any harm. What good comes of adopting a holier-than-thou attitude about it? This is why we never get anywhere, folks. We’re too busy arguing and shaming one another to actually do anything. Who the hell cares if a thousand women attending a march in DC, many of them marching for the first time in their lives, want to show a sisterly solidarity by wearing a pink hat? There are articles theorizing that marching does no good. That protests do no good. Calling, letter writing, Meryl Streep. None of it is any good. Or it should be better. What’s the alternative? Curl up in the fetal position and hope that the world doesn’t implode in the next four years? Not everyone is going to run for office. Not everyone is going to disrupt town halls, start a grass-roots movement. Activism is not always chaining yourself to a railing or getting arrested. Sometimes activism is as simple as acknowledging something is wrong. Or reading. Or checking facts. Not everyone has the time, the freedom from economics, or even the courage to throw themselves in front of a moving administration in the name of protest. Yes, we need those people, we need them desperately. But we also need everyday people who are wiling to show that they are there to make a stand about something they strongly believe in. Whether that stand is a safety-pin or a pink hat or boarding a bus and traveling down to Washington DC to march with a hundred thousand others who feel similarly. Whether it’s writing a letter to their Congresswoman or making a phone call, boycotting a brand, or yes, even sharing something on Facebook. Why would anyone want to throw a wrench into that by acting too cool for it all? Why would you want to sabotage those baby steps into something that could blossom into activism? Who knows if the girl who put a safety-pin on her backpack, knowing that she’s going to get teased mercilessly at school for being a snowflake, isn’t going to grow up to be a Senator? Who knows if the women who started the knitting project won’t take their next project global and donate the proceeds to women in need? Back the fuck off, people. Perhaps then instead of shaming someone for trying to do something good we should collectively encourage them to take the next step on a journey of doing good. If we want to encourage people to take part, the last thing anyone should be doing is making them feel silly, shaming them, or telling them those small acts of micro-activism don’t matter. Of course they matter. In a world in which some days we are struggling to find something good, why would we shit on it when we come across it? We could all do better. White women need to listen to women of color because we are failing them, miserably. Feminists need to listen to civil rights activists, need to listen to Native American activists, and so on and so on. But we are never going to get anywhere if we don’t start somewhere. And it’s certainly not up to me to tell any other person where that starting point should or must be. Good God, yes. Thank you. I, too, have been throughly disgusted with the infighting. Any little act that any individual chooses to preform as their form of protest is legitimate. Same goes for Colin Kopernick. I say we all chill, stop backbiting, and appreciate our differing ways of expressing ourselves. Oh, don’t get me started on Colin Kopernick. All I saw was he should be donating money, he should be doing X! Y! Z! As if what one COULD do should negate what one IS doing. Grrrrr…..We need all hands on the freaking deck right now. We don’t need to be fighting over safety pins. Do. That is the most important thing, more important, often, than what someone chooses to do. And all the shaming for symbolism is infuriating. But what makes me angrier is shaming for speaking out and acting. OH? Really? TODAY is the wrong day to talk about gun safety?? (Pick any day within 6 months of a headline-making act of violence.) Which day will be the right day? Thoughts and prayers, on that issue or any other, are not enough. Thanks as always. Okay, here is another thing that pisses me off. On facebook, a dear one often posts about trump. She links complex articles from reputable sources, which she clearly has read and understood. Unfortunately she is a “niece” in the family (of the younger generation), she is female, she has been dealing with a multi-year battle with Lyme disease and often comments on her brain fog, she has 5 children and often comments on her “adventures” and mix-ups in dealing with the kids’ lives. So she has an unearned reputation for being flaky and perhaps not very smart. She’s a GIRL, for pete’s sake!! So when she links articles and comments intelligently on them, although often with alarm, older male relatives tell her to “calm down” or “relax” or the equivalent of “don’t worry your pretty little wimin-brain.” THAT pisses me off. And it’s only barely related to your post, so … But I know you get it. Oh, I get that. It’s like getting patted on the head by a dog. Second to my current favorite, ‘don’t be so sensitive.” You know who says that? People who KNOW they’re being an asshole and too afraid to deal with the fact they are being an asshole, hope to God you don’t call them on it, and when you do, pull out the old “don’t be so sensitive”. I’m not sensitive, you dimwit, you’re an asshole. There’s a difference. Don’t put the burden of your dickish behavior on ME. I hear you, loud and clear. It’s too early! Don’t politicize it! Not everything has to be about gender/race/sexuality (of course it does when your entire life is filtered though one or more of those ‘other’ boxes. Speak. No, don’t speak. Roar. Loudly. In 2005, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee requested donations for Doctors without Borders on her blog, Yarn Harlot. http://www.yarnharlot.ca/knitters-without-borders/ Those donations are now at $1.1 million. Don’t underestimate the hearts and power of knitters. I’ll be knitting those hats for my granddaughters and, when they’re old enough, I’ll explain to them why the fight for equality never ends. See! Thank you for providing that concert example (and a knitting one to boot!) My sister knit me one for Christmas and I cried when I opened it. Why do we feel we have to disparage the good? It is good to have a symbol of solidarity, of purpose. Keep knitting and keep roaring–we’ve got a helluva long way to go. I wear a pin on my indoor clothes, primarily so my students know I am an ally/resource. But I happened to wear it at a New Years Eve party, and a gay guy practically a foot taller than me thanked me for wearing it. Sometimes I guess even a little solidarity in bitter times can help. That’s exactly it. Why would we mock that? Why would we discourage others from trying to help by saying, that’s the wrong way or not good enough or any of a thousand other things I’ve heard or read. How can we affect any change if we can’t even agree on the fact that trying to help is a good thing? Bravo! There is certainly a time and place to discuss minutia. Yeah, one charity might be more reputable than another. A call to a senator might be more effective than an email. But this is not the time to squabble; this is the time to stand together. And yeah, if there is an issue, why not bring it up kindly and suggest an alternative? Personally, I’ve been trying to do one thing every day to promote the growth of goodness in the world, whether it be signing a petition, educating myself on an issue, buying a fair-trade product, or simply investing in quality time with my loved ones. It gives me such a sense of efficacy, even when the world seems to be working against me. Especially as we encourage people who have previously felt unmoved to be engaged socially or politically. I like your plan of action. At the end of the day, we all need to lead lives. For some, writing a letter to a Congresswoman is something they’ve never done, it’s pushing them beyond a boundary they are used to. Why would anyone want to discourage that? I just don’t get it. Well said! Moderates are the worst and then there are these bullies, trying to call people who care silly! At least there are people out there who give a damn and participate in things and issues they care about! Too many idiots out there trying to tell you, “How would that help” and very few to encourage people. I loved reading your post Dina! I have already, and proudly, knitted three hats with 3 more to go before next weekend to gift to those who have asked. I wish I had more time. It is unbelievable to me the pushback that I have received from certain friends and family. “Why the hell are you doing that”, they have said. BECAUSE I CAN! It is amazing the sense of power it has given me participating in such a small, non-confrontational way. This afternoon I received an email from my high school bestie who now lives in Hawaii. Her message made my day because I never thought my mention about the pussy hat project would have an impact. I thought I would share. This is what she said… “Hey girlfriend – I can’t thank you enough for turning me onto the Pussy Hat Project – just finished knitting up 8 (!) hats for my mom and her 7 friends that are attending the march in DC next Sat. Really appreciated the opportunity to participate from my neck of the woods. Plus, it has really helped with my knitting skills.” Lovely article, I applaud your bravery. In this cruel world of misery, despair and hopelessness, your words act like a sword to quieten the voices of pomp and evil. Thank you for your encouraging posts. ❤ Thank you–for taking the time to read, but even more for taking the time to reply. Time, it would appear, is a commodity and so to ask people to take time out of their day to read something is an exercise in vanity. But I’m always thrilled when people then take the time to leave a comment. I’m not particularly brave. Just loud ;-). Hear, hear. A single pebble can start a landslide so who is anyone to say this isn’t enough? We should be standing shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, not trying to tear each other down. God knows there’s enough people doing that already. I applaud your post it reminds me of a quote that is appropriate for those who nay say the efforts of others to get involved when they see something wrong “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” Dr Martin Luther King Jr. I enjoyed this post. You articulate a lot of the things I felt about the criticism of the Women’s March. What I’ve found particularly egregious is that it’s usually white men who have apparently relished trivializing and dismissing the hats. As though they are invalid simply for the fact that they are a predominantly “female” form of protest. There has been a great deal of deliberate shaming, trivializing and mocking. As though a March of 3.5 million people around the globe is not to be taken particularly seriously. One of the other things that ticked me off was that the headlines were often along the lines of … “The March was REALLY big. But was it particularly important? Will it really translate into a “proper”political movement?” Yes, yes those questions are very important but why, WHY was that the focus on the SAME DAY that we had this historic event? Honestly if 3.5 million MEN had marched around the globe it would have been a declaration of war. We still have a long way to go. What a great point your last one was. That is exactly right. If 3. 5 million men had marched, it would have been taken as a declaring of something. But they have been shaming women who are unafraid for centuries. They used to call us witches. Now they call us feminists. We always have a long way to go. That’s ok, as long as we don’t stop fighting to get there. THIS IS US… a colorful, collaborative, collection of truth-tellers, soul-sharers, magic makers and game shakers. All that have a unique story to tell, angle to take and position they stand strongly behind.

Q: Is there a way to automatically generate the gradle dependencies declaration in build.gradle? This is in the context of converting an existing java project into a gradle project. Is there a tool or webservice that would help generate the dependencies declaration in the build.gradle by pointing to a directory that contain all the dependent jars ? A: In my comments to @Opal 's answer, I said that I was working on a quick and dirty groovy script to achieve this. I forgot to attach the script after that. Apologies for the same.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Three supporters of white nationalist Richard Spencer were arrested Thursday after a confrontation with anti-Spencer protesters that ended with a shot being fired, Gainesville police said. The three men are from Texas and were in Gainesville for Spencer's speech at the University of Florida, which drew national attention and security from more than a thousand law enforcement officers. According to police, Tyler Tenbrink, 28, fired the shot, after he and two brothers in a silver Jeep shouted obscenities, threats and chants about Hitler at about eight protesters, who were at a bus stop at SW Archer Road and 34th Street. No one was injured by the gunfire, but Gainesville Police Department spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said that might have been by mere inches. “Someone shooting into a crowd definitely has the intent of hurting or killing somebody in that crowd,” Tobias said. All three men have been charged with attempted homicide, and Tenbrink, of Richmond, Texas, has also been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. According to police, just before 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Tenbrink and brothers William Fears, 30, and Colton Fears, 28, stopped their Jeep to argue with a group of protesters on SW Archer Road and one of the passengers yelled “Hail Hitler” and other chants. The protesters, whose names aren't being released to protect their safety, argued back and one of them hit the rear window of the Jeep with a baton, according to the arrest report. The Jeep then pulled about 10 feet away, stopped again and Tenbrink got out and pulled a handgun on the protesters as the Fears brothers, who are both from Pasadena, Texas, egged him on, police said. According to the arrest report, they shouted “I'm going to f****** kill you,” “kill them” and “shoot them,” before Tenbrink fired the shot, which hit the exterior brick wall of a nearby RadioShack building. Police said that as the Jeep sped off, one of the protesters was able to get the license plate and reported it to investigators, who relayed it to law enforcement in the area. “I am simply amazed that someone who had just been shot at was brave enough and calm enough to get that information to law enforcement immediately,” Tobias said. “That key piece of information was just what the law enforcement agencies that were working yesterday needed to bring these folks into custody quickly.” An off-duty deputy with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office spotted the Jeep with the matching Texas tag around 9 p.m. on I-75 about 20 miles north of Gainesville. Units from the Alachua Police Department, the High Springs Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol conducted a high-risk felony stop on the Jeep at the 405 mile marker of I-75 North and took the three men into custody, police said. Two handguns were found in the Jeep, Tobias said. 3 men share opinions during protest The three men have connections to extremist groups or ideals, according to Gainesville police. “Yesterday, people from outside of our community came to create violence and disruption, they came to bring hate to our city, yet the people of Gainesville showed them exactly what our town is all about," Tobias said. News4Jax sister station WKMG interviewed William Fears on Thursday hours before Spencer took the Phillips Center stage. Fears said he also attended the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, which turned deadly when a woman was hit and killed. William Fears slammed Gov. Rick Scott for declaring a state of emergency to give Alachua County access to more resources ahead of the controversial event at UF. “You have child pornography and all these twisted sexual conventions that are allowed to go on for sexual fetishes, but yet if a man says whites have a right to exist, they have to declare a state of emergency,” William Fears said. “I want to be part of this, because it's unprecedented. It's a huge part of history.” UNCUT: 3 men spoke to reporters during protest, hours before their arrest Colton Fears expressed a similar sentiment about the state of emergency. “A hurricane is considered a state of emergency, right? Is that man as dangerous as a hurricane?” Colton Fears asked of Spencer. “I think that is very, very stupid. Ahead of the event, too, before it even happened? That's crazy. That shows you right there that they're not for free speech.” When he was asked about many of the protesters for Spencer's speech being white, Tenbrink didn't pull any punches with his response. “They're ashamed of being themselves,” he said. “How more of a despicable creature could you be than someone who is ashamed and feels sorry for the color of their skin? I never owned slaves. Nobody here ever picked cotton. End of story.” The three men remain in the Alachua County Jail. The Fears brothers are each being held on $1 million bond and Tenbrink is under a $3 million bond. Tenbrink has a history of burglary, drug and theft charges and several domestic violence convictions. Tenbrink pleaded guilty in 2014 to punching his girlfriend in the face, pleaded guilty in 2011 to choking an ex-girlfriend, who was the mother of his infant son, and pleaded no contest in 2009 to a misdemeanor domestic-violence charge. He was sentenced to three years in prison for the 2014 charge.

Q: Android Pinch to Zoom ImageView I have a single Image ImageView Layout . import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; public class americanfootball extends Activity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.americanfootball); } } How to enable simple pinch to zoom on the image ? A: You have to use a custom ImageView to do that. use something like this: import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.util.Log; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.view.ScaleGestureDetector; import android.view.View; public class PinchImageView extends View { private static final int INVALID_POINTER_ID = -1; private Drawable mImage; private float mPosX; private float mPosY; private float mLastTouchX; private float mLastTouchY; private int mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID; private ScaleGestureDetector mScaleDetector; private float mScaleFactor = 1.f; public PinchImageView(Context context) { this(context, null, 0); mImage=act.getResources().getDrawable(context.getResources().getIdentifier("imag­ename", "drawable", "packagename")); mImage.setBounds(0, 0, mImage.getIntrinsicWidth(), mImage.getIntrinsicHeight()); } public PinchImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { this(context, attrs, 0); } public PinchImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { super(context, attrs, defStyle); mScaleDetector = new ScaleGestureDetector(context, new ScaleListener()); } @Override public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) { // Let the ScaleGestureDetector inspect all events. mScaleDetector.onTouchEvent(ev); final int action = ev.getAction(); switch (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) { case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: { final float x = ev.getX(); final float y = ev.getY(); mLastTouchX = x; mLastTouchY = y; mActivePointerId = ev.getPointerId(0); break; } case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: { final int pointerIndex = ev.findPointerIndex(mActivePointerId); final float x = ev.getX(pointerIndex); final float y = ev.getY(pointerIndex); // Only move if the ScaleGestureDetector isn't processing a gesture. if (!mScaleDetector.isInProgress()) { final float dx = x - mLastTouchX; final float dy = y - mLastTouchY; mPosX += dx; mPosY += dy; invalidate(); } mLastTouchX = x; mLastTouchY = y; break; } case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: { mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID; break; } case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL: { mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID; break; } case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP: { final int pointerIndex = (ev.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK) >> MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT; final int pointerId = ev.getPointerId(pointerIndex); if (pointerId == mActivePointerId) { // This was our active pointer going up. Choose a new // active pointer and adjust accordingly. final int newPointerIndex = pointerIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0; mLastTouchX = ev.getX(newPointerIndex); mLastTouchY = ev.getY(newPointerIndex); mActivePointerId = ev.getPointerId(newPointerIndex); } break; } } return true; } @Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { super.onDraw(canvas); canvas.save(); Log.d("DEBUG", "X: "+mPosX+" Y: "+mPosY); canvas.translate(mPosX, mPosY); canvas.scale(mScaleFactor, mScaleFactor); mImage.draw(canvas); canvas.restore(); } private class ScaleListener extends ScaleGestureDetector.SimpleOnScaleGestureListener { @Override public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) { mScaleFactor *= detector.getScaleFactor(); // Don't let the object get too small or too large. mScaleFactor = Math.max(0.1f, Math.min(mScaleFactor, 10.0f)); invalidate(); return true; } } }

Nicely done. Not a new idea, of course, but well written with a good layout and a perfect pic. Love the expression!

Republicans are confused by the irony of the situation. It’s always embarrassing when you have to explain that you’re being ironic. Irony springs from a kind of disconnect between reality and expectation. Stupid people are very busy trying to understand things on a literal level, so they are not entirely comfortable with these rhetorical devices. Most mainstream conservatives/Republicans believe that Israel is a kind of underdog that needs our help. The reality is that Israel is the number one player in lobbying and controlling US politicians. Mainstream conservatives don’t know this because they’re not avid readers. So when Ann Coulter pointed out the absurdity of Niki Haley’s temper tantrum vis-à-vis the UN’s justifiable vote condemning the US recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, her Republican cheerleaders mistook her irony as sincere cheerleading: WHERE WOULD POOR, DEFENSELESS ISRAEL BE WITHOUT NIKKI HALEY?!? Not a defender in the world — not the media, not congress, not the donor class. Don't worry Israel, Brave Nikki's got your back. https://t.co/U4oQng6r0G — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) December 22, 2017 The responses are just cringeworthy: Well said Nikki Hayley you are a hero and a patriot merry Christmas to you and your family ???? — Brett Russell (@DFlacido) December 22, 2017 Nikki Haley for president 2024. — don fisher (@donfis) December 22, 2017 God Bless our Ambassador Haley! She speaks what most Americans think. Thank you!! God Bless you and our President. — TFLucid (@LucidTF) December 22, 2017 It is a kind of alt-right trope that conservatives live vicariously through Israeli nationalism. This gives them “credibility” as they can claim that “the Dem’s are the real anti-Semites.” And it lets them rail against Muslim Palestinians who are supposedly persecuting Jews. When UN Ambassador Haley warned the United Nations, “The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in this assembly,” in reaction to the resolution on Israel, conservatives said “Amen.” What they fail to realize is that the people they think they’re protecting and advocating for are the force behind so much of what they purport to loathe, such as feminism, third-world immigration, etc. So if you thought liberals were dumb, what then can we say about mainstream conservatives, who don’t even know who is screwing them?

Møtet kom i stand etter at det ble avdekket en rekke tilfeller av ulovlig datasnoking i Nav Aust-Agder. Tidligere og nåværende ledere har gjort ulovlige oppslag på sine kolleger. I forkant av møtet uttalte Norsk Tjenestemannslag (NTL) at de vurderte å politianmelde et grovt tilfelle i Aust-Agder. De ga arbeidsgiver Nav frist til fredag. Dersom ikke Nav gjorde det, ville de selv gjøre det, uttalte tillitsvalgt Harald Langstad til Agderposten. Etter møtet i dag vil ingen snakke om ultimatumet. Over 500 ulovlige søk Det mest alvorlige tilfellet ble avdekket i Nav Grimstad hvor en nå pensjonert leder gjorde over 500 ulovlige oppslag på kolleger fra 1. januar 2014 til 1. september 2017. Dette tilfellet fikk NTL til å gi ledelsen i Nav et ultimatum om politianmeldelse. Etter dagens møte ble det sendt ut en felles pressemelding, hvor det står at ledelsen i Nav og fagforeningene "har tillit til at det gjøres en god jobb med vurdering av eventuelle anmeldelser". Dermed er det ukjent om fagforeningen vil gjøre alvor av sitt ultimatum, noe de heller ikke vil kommentere. – Nå skal sakene vi kjenner til bli jobbet ferdig med. Det er enighet om å ikke uttale noe mer enn det som står i pressemeldingen, opplyser Harald Langstad. Tillitsvalgt i Norsk Tjenestemannslag, Harald Langstad. Foto: privat Jobber sammen Ifølge pressemeldingen er det full enighet mellom ledelsen i Nav og fagforeningene om at det er nulltoleranse for misbruk av fagsystemene. Nå skal fagforeningene NTL, Avyo, Akademikerne og Unio jobbe sammen for å finne ut av hvordan de skal håndtere slike saker i framtida. Reaksjonsmønstrene og opplæringen skal bli sett nærmere på, men det står ingenting om konkrete tiltak. Sju ledere i Nav Aust-Agder har blitt tatt for ulovlig datasnoking i løpet av 2017, og ifølge NTL er det også flere nye saker på bordet hos dem. – Våre brukere og medarbeidere skal være trygge på at vi behandler informasjonen om dem på forsvarlig måte, sier arbeids- og velferdsdirektør Sigrun Vågeng i pressemeldingen. Vågeng har ikke besvart NRKs henvendelser fredag.

Advertisements The titular head of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh, is helping the GOP narrow down that horrid big tent thing Ronald Reagan attempted to fashion in the 80’s with his war on women’s health. Here are two “average American women” with college educations (aka in Republican circles as “snobs”) who have used birth control and are not pleased about being called sluts for it. Watch here: Advertisements The “reformed whores” have a message for Rush Limbaugh in response to his inexcusable comments about a female Georgetown law student and demand that she air herself having sex so he could watch it. Their message to him is gee, we had no idea we were sluts. After all, one woman explains that she was on the pill for health reasons and the other was on the pill so that she and her husband could plan their family — and yes, she has only had sex with one partner — her husband. Not that it’s anyone’s business. But there are plenty of Americans who share these women’s point of view, and yet the Republican Party hasn’t said a peep to renounce Rush Limbaugh. Sarah Palin has actually defended his comments with some rubbish involving conservative’s favorite arguing tactic: the false equivalency. Birth control is about much more than sex, it’s actually used for women’s health for excessive bleeding, for cysts, for hormonal surges, for painful cramps, and more. Having a body that can give birth is an amazing thing, and something we women like to take good care of whether or not we choose to use it for that purpose. And it is our choice, and none of your damn business, Rush Limbaugh. Dirty old man. Dirty old party. Image: Copyright 2012 @Azure Ghost

Mapping genes for common diseases: the case for genetic (LD) maps. We examine the current effort to develop a haplotype map of the human genome and suggest an alternative approach which represents linkage disequilibrium patterns in the form of a metric LD map. LD maps have some of the useful properties of genetic linkage maps but have a much higher resolution which is optimal for SNP-based association mapping of common diseases. The studies that have been undertaken to date suggest that LD and recombination maps show some close similarities because of abundant, narrow, recombination hot spots. These hot spots are co-localised in all populations but, unlike linkage maps, LD maps differ in scale for different populations because of differences in population history. The prospects for developing optimized panels of SNPs and the use of linkage disequilibrium maps in disease gene localisation are assessed in the light of recent evidence.

One of the daughters had four spontaneous abortions, the last one with a karyotype of 47,XY + 14q-. The other daughter had two children, one of them a normal 46,XX girl, the other with the karyotype 47,XXX;5/14.

EU official used colorful, simplified cue cards in trade meeting with Trump - mpweiher http://thehill.com/policy/finance/international-taxes/399042-eu-official-used-colorful-simplified-cue-cards-to-explain ====== growlist I guess these cards might also be useful to help see through a drunken haze. ~~~ s9w Comments (and articles) like this are a-ok, but even the slightest deviation from the ultra-left bias gets flagged or removed within minutes or hours. All while self-congratulatingly blasting against right-wing opinion bubbles? Okay then ~~~ majewsky I'm on the left side of the political spectrum, and I find it fascinating when right-wingers spot "ultra-left bias" in forums that I find balanced or right- leaning. ~~~ alliecat Yup. It does entertain me, especially as my own experience of HN is center- right at best. ~~~ mercer HN can be pretty schizophrenic. It often seems to switch depending on the topic, and topics where the various 'groups' collide can be very interesting (or frustrating). I like that kind of diversity as long as it doesn't lead to flamewars. ------ posting2fast They may be dumb or an asshole or wrong about X, but they're still your brother/sister. I don't mean Trump, I mean Americans, being a subset of humanity. At the very least, they're people you're better off working with in whatever common ground you have, than fighting endless and unwinnable battles about someone being stupid or ugly as a distraction from how badly things are, and how muddy and muddled the road forward is... it's really incredibly sad to see that nation so torn up. Not over nothing, but also not over anything that warrants _this_ , and the way it's treated. Just like Brexit, I get no joy from it. It just sucks, and instead of a growing opportunity, it's just used for more wounds. As if people really want it to get even worse; because whatever the lips say, that's what the hands are _doing_ says. How much has been _achieved_ by the eye rolling and talking _about_ "the other side" (no matter by whom and at what "side") since Trump was elected? What has been rationally been recognized as a problem, and what steps have been taken towards solutions? Where have people made an effort to hear others, instead of their bubble? I'm sure there are people outside the limelight who actually did do these things, but from what I see being surfaced most of the time, it's kind of a shit show. I'm sure it's a scene in a movie or ten, where parents have a real bad fight, but then realize that screaming at each other is something their kid should not see, because regardless of who is right, or who wins, or whatever, seeing them sink so low can do a whole other set of damage. This feels like that movie for me, for too long now. Be wary of things that are hard or impossible to come back from. I'm not one who gives a crap about badges or offices, but even I feel uneasy how the office of the President of the US is being damaged by this. I say by this, not just "by Trump". You have to think of the future, too. And by this I do not mean "no criticism", that is 100% not my point. Adults do have discussions, and they fight, but being demeaning about it is orthogonal to that and not good ever, in no context. And also no matter how wrong or dumb or how much of an asshole someone is. Actually: The more they are, the more you should "win", and the more important it is for that to be clean and fair, and for that to allow them a route to "join the win" by actually coming around from their own volition and voluntary insight. I'm not American, I never was in America and there has been no president during my lifetime I _really_ liked. I could not care, but I do. Because " _any man 's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind_" as John Donne wrote, and this can't go on. You are better than this, all of you. Roughly speaking, "you" _invented_ being better at this, ffs. So take care, of yourself and each other, and as in _actually_ do that. Please. Sorry for it being so jumbled, not sorry for ranting... I adamantly believe in the importance of this thing I don't know how to put well. ~~~ plaidfuji Hacker News is a welcome respite from traditional American news sources whose sole purpose today is wall-to-wall Trump coverage. Leave it to HN commenters to find a long-term thoughtful and productive point of view when a Trump story finally does make it up through the ranks. I know when you say "brother/sister" you're talking in the abstract, but the problem is that intra-familial political divides are increasingly uncommon, I.e. Trump voters are unlikely to even be my third cousin. A recent precinct- by-precinct 2016 election map published by the NYT showed that it's likely I'd have to drive up to 30 miles to find a precinct that swung the other way, so they're not my neighbor either. Major protests, which remain one of the more productive tools of political communication because they require actual human effort, happen in large cities and end up preaching to the choir, effectively. The "Other Side" receives news of the worst elements of these protests in coverage designed to make them angry, /because that's what news coverage today is designed to do/. People read the news to get mad about something. They click on the story that's likely to have the juiciest arguments. And it's not the media's fault - yes they choose what to publish, but they have to maximize profits and therefore clicks. I think what people don't get, or keep forgetting or whatever, is that Trump won because of the Midwest. Yes, he carried a bunch of traditional red states that were going to vote for him anyway. But he won because he convinced swaths of workers in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania that he would fight harder to keep their jobs around than his opponent. And he's basically stuck to that promise, whether or not what he's doing will actually help them in the long term, or if he even understands the basic tenets of global trade (as this article seems to insinuate he doesn't). These are the people who are being alienated by Democrats' efforts to unseat Trump at any cost, instead of pushing their own solution to the changing economic environment. What they'll likely say in 2020 is "so he's racist and sexist- but I still have a better chance with him than you." As much as I'm nervous about the country being run by somebody who appears to be incompetent, ego-driven and lacking long-term strategy, I'm more nervous about what the left's candidate will be in 2024. In other words, if Trump is the response to 8 years of Obama, what will the response to 8 years of Trump look like? Not sure where this is going so I'm gonna stop. ~~~ candiodari > I know when you say "brother/sister" you're talking in the abstract, but the > problem is that intra-familial political divides are increasingly uncommon, > I.e.

In the vast majority of districts, even in California, Trump scored ~32% on average. That means, minimum he scored ~13% (ie. 1 in 8 voters), average 32%, and up to 80%. The above statement is bullshit. In your immediate environment, at the very least 13% of people voted for Trump, and very likely more. The odds that you don't know, have as a neighbor, or are family to one of them, seem very remote indeed. That anyone in California (who would like to remain there) lies about their political preference ... seems a much, MUCH more likely explanation. So, the real situation (again, with overwhelming likelihood), is 1) If you take the 8 houses around yours, one voted for Trump, absolute minimum. More likely 3 (in California, which would be the minimum). Out of your family, 1 in 8 voted for Trump, minimum (given that it will be skewed to the older ones, lets say, one of your parents, two of your grandparents seems a good guess). 2) These people clearly feel that you would react unreasonably if you found out, and that's why you don't know. Given how you describe Trump voters, I can certainly see why they feel this way. But of course, I get that it's very comforting for you to think like this, even if it's extremely unlikely to be true. By the way, wasn't the whole point of Democrat values that people can have whatever political views they want, and you should support them regardless ? ------ docdeek I know this is meant to feed into the whole ‘Trump is an idiot’ meme but is it really that unusual? My CEO doesn’t have the time to read a half dozen 100 page reports - he wants a two-page memo; he doesn’t want a 200 slide deck, he wants me to report the essentials on a couple of slides. Key points, summaries, icons, top-line and bottom-line numbers - seems pretty normal for briefing someone with a lot on their plate. ~~~ smadge I feel like my expectations for a president have been unrealistically set by the TV show the West Wing where president Bartlett is often staying up until 3am reading hundreds of pages of policy reports, not getting into Twitter fueds and refusing to read anything handed to him. ~~~ growlist Reagan took a pretty relaxed approach by all accounts.

The anti Trump protest in front of the Hillman library was shut down by police on Thursday. Two students were taking turns with a megaphone in front of a crowd. Police arrived to kick them out. “Get it all out while you can, ladies,” one cop told the protesters. “We have the right to peacefully protest,” one of the students replied. They then started a “this is what a police state looks like” chant. Later, they started chanting “1,2,3,4, this is fucking class war. 5,6,7,8, America was never great.” Eventually, police took their banner, as another student shouted: “You lost. Get over it.” At its peak, nine officers showed up. @andrewf61098

Connect with us 21 Jun 2012 Pavlovas are notoriously tricky but CPIT hospitality tutor Stuart Goodall had a failsafe recipe ready for 10 young Vietnamese students who visited the campus on Monday 18 June. The 11 and 12 year old students from The Olympia Schools in Hanoi were soon measuring and mixing ingredients for a variation on the classic Kiwi dish on the first day of a two week Study Christchurch tour. Judging by the smiles and messy fingers it was a good start to their Christchurch immersion. The tour, supported by Education New Zealand, is designed to help the students practice their English language skills while introducing them to the New Zealand way of life. Presenting both secondary and tertiary study opportunities in Christchurch is also a key part of the tour. The Olympia Schools is a private, American-style school where parents are keen for their children to study overseas according to Chris Chambers from Study Christchurch who recently spent two weeks in Hanoi during a visit to Asia. “We are seen as neighbours, as Pacific Rim countries, so there is a strong sense of us being part of their world,” she said. However different Asian countries had responded differently to the Christchurch earthquakes. While Thailand was still nervous, Japan was business as usual. “The Vietnamese just have faith in us,” Chris, who is also International Dean at St Margaret’s College, said. “They can see we’ve gone out of our way to make Christchurch a safe city.” Since the earthquakes, Christchurch’s education sector has had to work more creatively and collaboratively Chris said. “We’re working outside of the square now and we’re working together.” Now that they have a taste for New Zealand food with the success of the pavlova rolls at CPIT, the Vietnamese students will visit schools and other tertiary providers from the Study Christchurch alliance to get a taste for Christchurch’s classrooms and culture.

A topiarist has complained that drunks keep having sex with his ornate “privet lady” hedge. Designer and silversmith Keith Tyssen, 84, has been carefully cultivating the privet hedge in the shape of a Greek goddess for more than 30 years at his Sheffield home. But he has been woken up dozens of times in the middle of the night by drunk passers-by “interfering” with his creation. Mr Tyssen, who has exhibited his work at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, told The Telegraph: “Drunk passers-by climb on top of her and pull apart her legs. “It’s too banal to talk about what they do to her. Even the girls go crazy and hysterical with laughter as they jump around on her.”

How To Tone Vaginal Muscles Quickly Childbirth and aging affect the vaginal muscles, making them go slack. A slack vagina negatively affects your sexual experiences and can make you feel less confident and less feminine.This article looks at some completely natural, safe ways to tighten up your vaginal muscles. A toned vagina enhances sexual satisfaction for both partners is a relationship. Conversely, a slack vagina can lead to self-esteem issues and frustration, because it denies both partners the pleasurable sensations that result from the snug fit of a man’s penis inside his partner’s vagina. It can be challenging to maintain vaginal tone, as age and childbirth can contribute to a slackening of the vaginal muscles. However, there are several safe techniques to tone and tighten the vagina, whatever your age. Kegel exercises First promoted by Arnold Kegel in 1948, kegel exercise is based around rhythmic contraction and relaxation on the pelvic floor muscles. They help to tone and tighten the vagina and are also useful for ladies who have recently given birth. They are also called Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) and target the muscles around the vagina, urethra, and rectum. These are two types of Kegel exercises: Ordinary of fast Kegels; Elevator or slow Kegels. Before doing either type of PFMT, locate the muscles that need strengthening. They are the muscles used to stop a stream of urine mid-flow. You can practice locating these muscles by trying to stop in the middle of urinating. Another way of finding the correct muscle is to insert a finger into the vagina and try to squeeze your muscles around it. Kegel is simple: contract the muscles and hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then relax. Repeat several times a day. Beginners should repeat four or five times in a row. Another exercise is to urinate for a few seconds then stop the stream for approximately the same time before resuming. Check with a health professional before commencing any exercise program. Vagial Cones Vaginal cones are small weights, shaped like tampons, which are designed to help treat urinary tract infections as well as tone and tighten the vaginal muscles. They come as a set of different sizes and weights, or with an outer cone into which you can insert different weights. The idea is to insert the cone into the vagina and hold it in place with the pelvic floor muscles for one minute. Extend the time until you can hold the cone in a place for 15 minutes, then use a heavier weight. Repeat twice a day, gradually increasing the weights until you can hold the heaviest weight for 15 minutes, twice a day. Leg stretching Lie on your back on the floor, press your spine into the ground and pull in your tummy to avoid strain on the back or abdomen. Stretch out your legs and slowly raise each leg alternately to form an angle of 90 degrees with the ground. Keep your legs straight while raising and lowering, and keep your tummy muscles taut. Repeat for 10 to 15 minutes once or twice a day. Gooseberry home remedy Gooseberries are naturally astringent, and regular use will restore elasticity to the vaginal area. They are also high in vitamin C, which protects against inflammation and infection in the vaginal area and keep the pelvic floor muscles healthy. Cover fresh gooseberries with water in a pan and boil until softened. Strain and store the solution in the fridge. Apply to the vagina with a cotton pad after taking a shower. Aloe vera gel While there are proprietary vaginal tightening creams containing aloe vera on the market, the most effective way to tone the vagina is by applying gel straight from the leaf of the plant to both inside and out. Of the many medicinal plants in use today, one has proven particularly useful to cultures across the globe. The Aloe vera plant is a member of the lily family, just like onions and garlic, which have their own medicinal properties. The benefits of Aloe vera can be applied both internally and externally, due to several highly active components.

5 HIV Facts Your Parents Need To Know 0 0 0 0 0 2. HIV/AIDS is not a gay men’s disease: Black men and women represent only 13 percent of the population but account for 45 percent of new HIV infections; in addition, 64 percent of all women living with HIV/AIDS are Black. What to tell your elders: In Black America, HIV/AIDS has spread beyond the historical high-risk groups and into the general population. According to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation (pdf), heterosexual transmission and injection drug use account for a greater share of infections among Black men than among White men. Black women are also most likely to be infected through heterosexual transmission. 3. Condoms are not the enemy: Older men often shun condoms because they have more difficulty maintaining erections than younger men. What to tell your elders: Instead of going without condoms, offer to accompany your partner to the doctor, who can help treat erectile dysfunction by prescribing medication, counseling or other treatments. Also explore the female condom, which “can be kept in place for vaginal or anal intercourse whether or not a man stays erect,” says Dr. Cullins. 4. If you stray, you should use protection:Let’s face it: Marital unfaithfulness is common. Even among people over age 60, the lifetime rate of infidelity is 28 percent for men and 15 percent for women, according to researchers from the University of Washington. What to tell your elders: Take these precautions if you’re being unfaithful or suspect infidelity in your relationship: Use a condom with all partners to minimize everyone’s risk. Get STD and HIV tested, and see your partner’s test results before condoms come off. Inform your spouse and other partners if you have any sexually transmitted diseases. If you’re the one getting cheated on, get tested annually, which is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation for people who have multiple partners (and technically, you do). 5. You should get tested at least once a year:According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 40 percent of Blacks report being HIV tested within the past year, but that leaves 60 percent untested. And a New York Times article reports that 40 percent of older singles said they had never been tested for HIV, and a significant number didn’t know their partners’ sexual history. What to tell your elders: “HIV-awareness campaigns have traditionally focused on men who have sex with men, people of reproductive age — ages 15 to 44 — and people who use intravenous drugs,” says Dr. Cullins. But the CDC now recommends that all sexually active people ages 13 to 64 get tested each year.

Human rights activists and some constitutional scholars are denouncing a proposal by a group of state lawmakers to create a “second class” of US citizenship that would apply to children of illegal immigrants. State Legislators for Legal Immigration — a group that represents lawmakers from 40 states — announced this week it will be pushing for a radical redefinition of American citizenship at the state level. ADVERTISEMENT Among the proposals the group is championing is one that would see the creation of a separate class of citizenship for children of illegal immigrants. Under the proposal, a newborn’s parents’ legal status would have to be determined before a birth certificate is issued. If the child’s parents aren’t legally in the United States, its birth certificate would be specially marked. “Although the proposed model statute claims not to confer any particular benefit or penalty on the basis of the different markings, differentiating citizens on the basis of their parents’ immigration status would inevitably result in discriminatory treatment,” Human Rights Watch said in a statement. “International law, as well as US law, requires governments to guarantee equal treatment under the law,” HRW program director Alison Parker said. “This invidious proposal seeks to thwart that cherished right.” State Legislators for Legal Immigration hope to “correct the monumental misapplication of the 14th Amendment” with the legislation, the group said Wednesday. “According to the 14th Amendment, the primary requirements for US citizenship are dependent on total allegiance to America, not mere physical geography,” Pennsylvania Republican Daryl D. Metcalfe said. “The purpose of this model legislation is to restore the original intent of the 14th Amendment….” ADVERTISEMENT Writing at the CNN website, columnist Ruben Navarrette, Jr., argues that the group has fundamentally misread the 14th Amendment, the first section of which reads, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” What part of “legal” and “U.S. citizen” don’t these activists understand? Some restrictionists and racists like to claim that they have no problem with legal immigrants, that their beef is solely with those who enter the country illegally or overstay a visa unlawfully. Is that so? This movement puts the lie to that claim by targeting a group of people who have every “legal” right to be here. Arguing against the claim that such a law is necessary to stop the phenomenon of “anchor babies” — in which undocumented immigrants have children in the US in order to stay in the country — Navarrette Jr. argued the problem is fictional. ADVERTISEMENT There is no such thing as anchor babies. Just ask Elvira Arellano, who now resides in Mexico because she was deported in August 2007 despite having an 8-year-old son who was born in the United States. There are, however, anchor jobs gladly provided by U.S. employers, including homeowners eager to get others to do their chores. It’s jobs that keep illegal immigrants “anchored” here. Stop hiring, and you’ll send them on their way. “This entire crusade is an immoral, illogical and ill-conceived maneuver that will further divide the American people and ultimately destroy the Republican Party,” Navarrette Jr. writes. ADVERTISEMENT Gabriel J. Chin, a law professor at the University of Arizona, told the New York Times that the proposed legislation was “unwise, un-American and unconstitutional.” But the debate over the proposed law has launched all the same, particularly among more conservative-leaning news outlets. Fox News analyst Peter Johnson Jr. said Thursday that it’s time for the US to “begin to discuss” the idea of “two classes of citizenship.” “What kind of citizenship could you get?” Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson asked. ADVERTISEMENT “I don’t know,” Johnson Jr. replied. “And this is something that I think we need to begin to discuss in this country.” The following video was broadcast on Fox News, Jan. 6, 2011, and was uploaded to the Web by MediaMatters.

Monday, October 16, 2006 HER BROTHER'S KEEPER - Part Two Sorry for the delay in presenting Part Two. Here is the end of the Story. Continued.... A third man rushed forward in the firelight, tackled them and threw them to the floor. "This here be Ruby, ya morons. Ya don't never touch her!" They were younger men then she had thought. She switched the purse to her left hand, leaving her right hand freer for her boot stiletto. In her haste, she'd forgotten to be safe. "How is Jazz?" she murmured to the giant who'd saved her."Not good. He's real sick, Ruby." The man's eyelids were heavily creased from too much booze and hard living. "I don't think he'll last out the week. He won't let us take him to one of them clinics." Jazz was a tough, street-smart kid she'd met two years ago. She'd found him on Garland St. one summer dawn with the breeze blowing in off the harbor. He'd been counting his money after spending a night turning tricks for old men in luxury cars. Now he was dying of AIDS and choking on his own mucus. Ruby held on to the arm of the man who'd saved her from the punks. "Does he still know who you are?""Most times." He hesitated. "Not always, Ruby." The man led the way through a maze of blankets, boxes, the side of an open van, fires in barrels, and coughing, fighting people. The young teen lay in a cocoon of threadbare blankets near the north end of the warehouse. It was actually just two sides of a box, and the older man had tried to position it to keep out the wind. The boy's face was gray, a toque over his head, and he was wrapped in several layers of Salvation Army suit jackets. Ruby put down her purse and began chafing his hands. "Jazz? Can you hear me?" His eyelids flickered and a tiny bit of drool dripped out of his mouth. "Could you leave us alone, Frank? Thank you for what you did back there.""Sure, Ruby." Frank backed away and sauntered off towards a big barrel fire near the center of the warehouse."Jazz." She leaned near the boys' ear. "Jazz, wake up. I have fruitcake for you, and brandy." There was a dirty mug with some water in it. She filled it with a finger full of brandy. Lifting Jazz's head, she poured the tiniest sip in and watched his throat convulse. She talked gently of what a wonderful Christmas they'd have when he woke up, the presents gaily wrapped under the tree, his warm bed upstairs in her house, and the perky dog that would greet him Christmas morning. Suddenly, his eyes flew open and his hands grabbed her wrist."Ruby, is it really you?""Yes, Jazz. It's ok, hon, everythings ok." He took a few more swallows of the brandy and water and then sank back on the backpack he was using as a pillow. He began a paroxysm of coughing and spat up bloody phlegm. "I brought you a Christmas gift, just like you wanted, Jazz, but I don't know if you should have it.""You know how much I want this, Ruby. Exactly how I want this." Her hands shook a little as she took the cigar out of her purse. She unwrapped the fruitcake and broke off little pieces of it. Then she held up his head, cradling his lice-ridden hair to her chest, and hand fed him tiny pieces of Raoul's finest fruitcake. Once in awhile she'd give him a sip of brandy and water. It took him nearly an hour, but he finished all three pieces. "Just like my gramma used to make." His voice was weak and tired. "I want my cigar now." Ruby reached under his blankets until she found his lighter and a pack of cigarettes with only three smokes left. She sucked on the cigar until it lit, and watched the spirals of smoke float towards the high ceiling. Then she helped him sit up again, and held the cigar to his lips. He puffed and the sweet, powerful cigar smoke filled the small space like incense."I'd like to go to Christmas Mass, wouldn't you, Ruby?""Been a long time since I was at Mass, Christmas or otherwise. Don't talk now." Jazz reached for the cigar again, watched the red tip burning in the semi-darkness."I want you to hold my hand when you do it.""Jazz...""You gotta do it, Ruby...its gotta be tonight." He stared upwards for a few minutes, as if listening."They say 'yes'." He turned to look at her. "Can I see your 'ruby'?""You can see anything, if you give up this fool plan!" She pulled up her red sweater and pulled down her skirt. The ruby was a quarter carat and winked from a 14k hoop through her navel. Jazz touched it with awe. "You're the real thing, Ruby Westlake. I won't ever forget what you done for me these last few months.""Jazz...""Now. I want you to do it now." He took a long puff on the cigar, another one, and then another one before he started to gag and choke. He handed it off to Ruby, who ground it out on the concrete beside his nest of blankets. She poured another sip of brandy and water into him when he'd stopped coughing. "Sure you don't want the rest of this mickey?""Naw, give it to Frank for Christmas. I want to do it now." He fixed his murky blue-eyed gaze on her and held out his filthy hand."You're the real thing, Ruby. And I thank you." She took his right hand with her left hand. Tears smeared her heavy mascara as she sat beside him and drew her boot stiletto out of its hidden sheath. Ruby leaned over his gaunt face - what was he - sixteen, seventeen? She bent closer and closer until their breath mingled together. Her tears wet his cheeks. His eyes were closed, his hand tight in hers. She could taste fruitcake and cigar smoke on his lips. Gently, she kissed him with the soft whisper of a first lover. Her stiletto out now, she gathered all her strength and plunged it into the right side of his neck, hitting the carotid artery dead on. Jazz's body contorted and she felt hot spurts of blood hit her neck, hair, and chest. She held his hand and the kiss, until the bucking of his body stopped. When she sat up Jazz's eyes were staring at the ceiling with a rapturous look on his face. She reached over and closed them. Ruby wiped the blade of her stiletto clean, then the handle, with the top blanket. She folded his hands together, and put the mickey beside his pallet. She wiped off the blood on her mouth with the napkin from the floor. Strong arms jerked her upwards and her feet left the ground."Hey Al, isn't it nice when you catch'em in the act like this!"The uniformed cop set her down with a bone-crunching thud and shook her by the shoulders so hard her wig nearly fell off. "What are ya, Vampirilla, or are ya going to tell us you just like to steal from the dead?" Ruby kneed him in the crotch as hard as she could, planted an elbow in his face, and gave his partner a roundhouse kick to the head. A crowd of derelicts and winos had gathered, armed with bricks and planks of wood. The partner was still face down on the concrete, and Ruby had her stilleto up against the first cop's neck, her lips to his ear. "First of all, you morons, I'm on the job. Badge #501. Second of all, you're about to blow three years of cover. Now get out of here, rookie, before these people give you the beating you deserve.""Where's your badge?" He squeaked out."You'll have to check my crotchless panties. Call Sargeant Hubbard." She pricked his neck just a little with the stiletto. Al was starting to moan a little on the floor. "Get your partner out of here." A monotone of "Ru-by, Ru-by, Ru-by" chanting was starting, as she let the cop stand up straight and then pick his cap up off the floor. He radioed for a Sargeant and an ambulance for the body lying in the blankets. Ruby began walking through the crowd.

Farhad Manjoo Slate Technology Reporter In my weekly technology column, I usually write about new stuff—the latest, and sometimes greatest, blinking thing on the shelves.

Isn't he used to walking next to women in see-through clothes by now? ILY This one actually had something to see through her tranparent shirt, if you know what I mean. I found a book you must read. MUST. It is in the same vein as Jen Lancaster and I was reading it on the plane today and was giggling like a fool. The name is: Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir by Jenny Lawson. ETA that I am only like, 4 chapters in and I am making this declaration, so you know it is hilarious.

Just this weekend, I had the urge to stab people at the state fair with a variety of foods on sticks. We all got to do what we got to do. I found a book you must read. MUST.

I think it is cute, but I have the same "Is it going to be a pain in the ass to get it to look that way every day?" concerns that Lori had. My own personal experience with layers is that I'm too lazy to be bothered to get it to look nice on a regular basis. I found a book you must read. MUST.

Now it came about that when Achsah came to Othniel, she persuaded him [to allow her] to ask her father for a field. Then she [rode up to Caleb and] dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” Right after the wedding, Achsah started telling Othniel that he ought to ask her father for a field. She went to see her father, and while she was getting down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What’s bothering you?” When Acsah came to ·Othniel [L him; C could be Othniel or Caleb], she ·told him to ask [or asked] her father for a field. So Acsah went to her father. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?” As she was leaving with him, she urged him to ask her father for an additional field as a wedding present. She got off her donkey to speak to Caleb about this. “What is it? What can I do for you?” he asked. And she replied, “Give me another present! For the land you gave me is a desert. Give us some springs too!” Then he gave her the upper and lower springs. When she arrived she got him to ask for farmland from her father. As she dismounted from her donkey Caleb asked her, “What would you like?” She said, “Give me a marriage gift. You’ve given me desert land; Now give me pools of water!” And he gave her the upper and the lower pools. And when she went together (with him), her husband counselled her, that she should ask of her father a field (that she should ask for a field from her father); and (so) she sighed, as she sat upon the ass; and Caleb said to her, What hast thou in thy mind?

Event Information Developing Community Resilience A year after the rhetoric that was unleashed by the Trump campaign and presidency, there’s a sense of exhaustion among many in our community – including Muslims, immigrants, undocumented people, LGBTQQI+ people and others who feel under attack and physically unsafe. How can we support each other in these divisive and stressful times? What are ways that community organizations are working to push back against those assaults? This event is part of a series called "Engagement in the Face of Hatred," sponsored by

Changes in folate status in overweight/obese women following two different weight control programmes based on an increased consumption of vegetables or fortified breakfast cereals. The modification of folate status was analysed in a group of sixty-seven overweight/obese women of childbearing age (20-35 years). Subjects were randomly assigned to one of two slightly hypocaloric diets: diet V (increased consumption of vegetables) or diet C (increased consumption of breakfast cereals). Dietetic, anthropometric and biochemical data were collected at the start of the study and again at 2 and 6 weeks. At 6 weeks a weight loss of 2.0 (sd 1.3) kg was achieved in V subjects and of 2.8 (sd 1.4) kg in C subjects (P < 0.05). At the start of the study, 64.2 % of all subjects had a folate intake of < 67 % of the recommended intake; this fell to just 3 % (7.14 % of V subjects and 0 % of C subjects) by week 6. Significant increases were only seen in C subjects in serum folate concentrations (both at 2 and 6 weeks), accompanied by a significant reduction in serum homocysteine (at week 6). Some 62.1 % of all subjects had serum folate concentrations of > or = 13.6 nmol/l (associated with a very low risk of neural tube defects) at the start of the study, while 87.0 % (85.2 % of V subjects and 88.9 % of C subjects) had concentrations of > or = 13.6 nmol/l at 6 weeks (P < 0.01). Increasing the relative consumption of vegetables/cereals in the context of a slightly hypocaloric diet may therefore be a good way to lose body weight. Breakfast cereals may be of special help with respect to folate status and serum homocysteine levels in overweight/obese young women following energy restriction diets.

The tiles you use in your bathroom are an essential part of its decor. Wall tiles especially affect the overall ambiance of the bathroom. They can make a bathroom look colorful and vibrant or dull and staid. If you are looking for bathroom wall tile ideas, you have a lot to choose from. You can cover the entire wall with tiles or you can decide to tile only the wall in the shower areas or you can cover half the wall with tiles and the remaining with paint. Whichever you choose, make sure that the tiles go well with the overall feel and color scheme of the bathroom. A growing trend that is certainly replacing the primary bathroom tile data format, of tiled shower walls and various walls exclusively half way, is tiling the entire bathroom. This means not the shower wall space, but the remaining portion of the walls, from flooring to ceiling. Mosaic tile designs are also very interesting if you wish to add detail. When multiple mosaic tiles are used together, they look more apparent. Wide variety of mosaic tiles are available in different colors ranging from bold to light and subtle. Bathroom tiles can also be decorated having the border for all the tiles. You can also place few tiles of some different color than the hue of the bathroom at various different locations. This ways you can make your bathroom look interesting with splash of colors.

Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of Chagas' disease (American trypanosomiasis), an infection of cardiac muscle cells and nerve ganglia that affects over 20 million persons in South and Central America, with over 90 million at risk. For practical purposes, chronic Chagas' disease is incurable, and drugs used for early infections can produce adverse side effects. Our proposed research builds upon preliminary results that demonstrate a parasite cysteine protease (cruzain) is essential for parasite replication and transformation between stages of the T. cruzi life cycle. One approach has been the synthesis of pseudopeptide inhibitors based upon the known substrate specificity of cruzain. Design of these inhibitors has been aided by our successful crystallization of the target enzyme and solving of the crystal structure at 2.3 angstroms. These pseudodipeptides have sidechains which maximize binding to the cruzain active site, while at the same time employing synthetic derivatives with non-natural amino acid homologues to maximize in vivo half life. A second modification has been to explore a number of different blocking groups to enhance solubility and therefore oral bioavailability. Finally, we have moved to new chemistry at the carboxy terminus to take advantage of the unique properties of the active site cysteine thiol group. These derivatives are inert to other thiol groups but which bind covalently to cysteine protease active site. A group of these compounds has now been tested both in in vitro culture assays to assess their effect on parasite replication, and in an in vivo murine model of infection. Two derivatives in which the sidechain amino acids are homophenylalanine and phenylalanine, were effective both in vitro and in vivo without evidence of toxicity to mammalian cells or tissues. The second approach we have taken is to identify leads utilizing computer searches of chemical databases using the crystal structure of cruzain as a template. One lead compound, a dihydrazide derivative, is similar to inhibitors we have also shown are effective against Leishmania and malaria cysteine proteases. This derivative was amplified through combinatorial chemistry, and several hundred modified analogues tested. A dimethylamine derivative of the original dihydrazide has been shown to arrest replication of T. cruzi in vitro without toxicity to mammalian cells. This compound has now also been shown to protect mice from a lethal infection. As with the dipeptide analogues, our next phase of work will include modifications to enhance aqueous solubility and oral bioavailability of the DOCK-derived compounds. We have studied the effects of protease inhibitors on the T. cruzi parasite itself. A surprising result was that the earliest detectable intracellular abnormality in the parasite is a distinct swelling of the Golgi compartment. This is followed by swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum and death of the parasite. Utilizing specific antibodies against cruzain, we have shown that the enzyme is arrested in its trafficking pathway at vesicles budding from the lateral Golgi. Noteworthy, there is no effect of inhibitors on Golgi of mammalian cells, even those in which amastigotes are residing. Our working hypothesis is that the inhibitors are preventing normal processing of the enzyme as an autocatalytic event, thereby retaining unprocessed enzyme in an early trafficking compartment. In the next phase of our work, we will test this hypothesis using mutants of cruzain in which the processing sites have been altered, and a transfection system to allow for overexpression of these mutants.

Still in denial, then. The liberal left, having first tried to ignore the massed sex attacks in Cologne (and in many other places across Europe), in the hope that the rest of us might not have noticed, are now attempting to explain it away. Prize for the most stupid contribution so far goes to the reliable Deborah Orr: “ “how could anyone possibly imagine that among a million people from anywhere there wouldn’t be some proportion of nasty, sleazy misogynists? A British legal history that includes the withholding of all manner of basic rights from women suggests that there’s nothing racially or religiously inherent in chauvinism. People tend to believe what they’re taught to believe, and the unreliable evidence of what they see around them, until free thinkers and visionary leaders call them out on it.” Supposed refugees no different in their attitudes towards women, then. We’re all the same. Could have been Germans carrying out those attacks – but just by chance, it wasn’t. Deborah’s piece appeared in the Guardian a day after a similarly dumb article from a woman called Gaby Hinsliff. Gaby admitted that she found it difficult, as a liberal, to talk about the attacks - but thought that we probably ought to do so, at some point. In other words, she (and the rest) didn’t want to talk about it because it directly contradicted one of their core beliefs. Incidentally, I find “Hinsliff” a deeply unsatisfying surname. It sounds as if she wanted to be called Hinchcliffe but didn’t quite have the commitment to see it through. Onwards and upwards.

When given a choice of beans, they must be black beans. 3. Acceptable dad jokes include: exclaiming the burrito is "bigger than my torso!", bicep-curling the burrito(s), claiming you "got your cardio for the day," and putting the burrito near one's crotch to make a mildly funny penis joke.

Tag Archives: Chuck Dukowski Confusion magazine: For those not in the know, how would you describe the sound of The Shrine? The Shrine: A bloody blender on acid rock, buzz metal, and freak punk. Where did the band form and how did all the members of the band get to know each other? Me and Court, the bass player, went to Santa Monica high school together, but we didn’t really know each other. When i was 18 I ran into him and a party and we blasted Thin Lizzy out of someones boombox and started jamming the next week, he quit his job working at a bong shop on the Venice boardwalk and we found Jeff . Let’s go with the most generic question of all, which bands are your influences? You had a band in high school called Rabies that put out a few records and went on a few tours. Tell us a little bit about Rabies. Who was in the band and how did that give you experience that helped you out when you started The Shrine? I was 15-17 years old, we were a hardcore skate punk band with minute long songs. There’s a community for punk and hardcore where people help you out booking shows all over america and all over the world. It was really small but really connected. We toured all of america when I was 17. It was 44 shows in 46 days playing a lot of house shows and basements and we were able to pay for the whole trip because there were a lot of like-minded teenagers into what we were doing, and like us, they were living at home still in high school or barely out of it, so they had money to buy our records and come to our shows and we were able to pay for gas. I can remember in July, stinking hot Austin, Texas sleeping on the floor in an empty room with no furniture with another six dudes and I was sweating so much and bummed out that I brought a sleeping bag cause it was way too hot. I saw a lot of awesome intense bands and learned how to press records and book tours and talk to people and network that shit. It was the only way to survive and that has carried on into The Shrine. It’s the same shit as driving around Beverly Hills hopping into construction sites looking for pools because the skatepark sucks and it’s crowded and it’s not your scene. The Shrine are a three-piece band. How did you decide to not pick up a lead singer and have the guitarist also handle the vocal duties? Frustration and desperation, I was ready to start playing shows, all my favorite singers were told they sucked and couldn’t sing by other people and it didn’t stop them… Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Henry Rollins. It’s not up to anyone else except you to decide. Josh Landau. Photo: Olivia Jaffe Chuck Dukowski, founder and bassist of Black Flag produced your first recordings. How did you guys meet and how has he helped you with producing your music and as a band in general? He lives in Venice and his band CD6 played a lot of shows and we jammed with him. Actually Rabies played with his band too when I was 15. We were able to tour and connect with people in a way because of the ground he layed with Black Flag. His attitude and enthusiasm towards life and doing what you want and love to do have been an inspiration and probably will be for the rest of my life. We still go to him with questions and ask for his advice when we’re navigating the depths of hell that’s the music “business”. He’s an ace all the way. Which other band or bands have helped you get your name out there and hooked you up with shows or tours around the country or world? Graveyard, Fu Manchu, Red Fang. How did you first get into skateboarding and then into skating backyard pools? Did someone take you to your first pool or how did you get into it? My friend in middle school had his pool emptied, I was in 7th grade, I spent the whole day jumping off my board trying to go over the light. I finally committed and pretty much my mind went blank and I slammed super hard. Since then I’ve got a little better. I got to skate it again when I was 17, it was awesome, I got the light and the box. According to Jocko Weyland who told me he skated the “The Regency” pool with you guys back in 2007, one of you guys can quote lines verbatum from his voice-over in “Fruit of the Vine” (Coan Nichols and Rick Charnowski’s seminal pool skating super 8mm film). Jocko’s awesome, yea, I’m a big fan, I love his writing and madness. “Fruit of the Vine” changed my life. Speaking of “Fruit of the Vine”, how did you guys hook up with Coan Buddy Nichols and Rick Charnoski to film at least two of your videos? Are they your friends or just the guys you envisioned to put together your videos and you made it happen? Met them in a backyard pool in the San Fernando valley when I was 15 and my little brother was 11. They’re our family now. Josh guitar solo crowd float. Photo: Olivia Jaffa As far as the videos go, does The Shrine come up with the concept, or do you just do the acting and the soundtrack? We meditate holding hands underneath the Venice pier and all the answers just roll in like the tide. How was your tour in japan? Japan loves california, we love japan. They get skateboarding and rock and roll. They’re wild. Josh Landau. Front smith at Felem in Japan. Photo: Tsuyoshi There’s a few bands with a similar style and sound as you guys, what separates The Shrine from the rest of the pack? Can’t really say, that’s up to you, we’ve never been part of a scene, there’s not that much of a music scene in Venice anymore. It’s cause we’re like a hardcore diy raw vegan Led Zeppelin tribute rip off jerk off post punk sub-basement boogie guy. Speaking of “the pack”… how did you end up with a wolf with a hit of acid on his tongue f0r your logo? Is that the connection to the Hendrix guitar influence? Shit got too intense for a while dealing with shows like that. Playing is so good and it’s like wearing a wild costume and the ice is broken so you can immediately light the fuse and go crazy, but having to drive the van afterwards is too hectic, too much stress. The wolf is by Kris Kirk, He came up with it. What do you attribute this return of 70s style stoner rock to the 2010s music scene. I know in the 90s there was a kind of revival with bands like Fu Manchu, but now there are whole stoner rock festivals with 20+ bands in different parts of the world? It probably has a lot to do with the Kennedy assassination, the world’s just been going through some stuff it can’t get over because the violence is too much and should be replaced with guitars. You put out a lot of vinyl, what’s up with that? Vinyl is back! CDs are out? How many people actually own record players these days. Can you download a digital version of the albums if you buy the vinyl? Yea all the vinyl comes with download things. The world is fucked. Holding a record is like childhood refusal of adulthood thing. Don’t want to accept that everything is disposable and meaningless. Photo: Olivia Jaffe It appears that The Shrine do a lot of stuff for themselves, and not just relying on a label or tour manager to put everything together. What’s your take on the current diy movement connected to the punk diy ethos? The diy thing gets confused and people are up their own asses about it. Greg Ginn said he wouldn’t have started SST if someone had been willing to put out a Black Flag record. It’s just the determination to make it happen when no one else is willing to help. You just got back from Australia, how was the tour? Did you get to skate any of the concrete parks or diy spots? Australia was amazing, people were so fucking sick, and the shows were wild, we didn’t get to skate ’cause it was raining a lot, but the tour killed, we’re definitely going back there.

It was going to be one of those days, I could tell. I didn't make the effort to show up at the constabulary these days. I never had to begin with, but now I really didn't. It was more effort, lots of effort to get nowhere. I'd seen what that sort of effort could get you. A sun-up to sundown job, little pay, and a whole lot of hurt. I'd had enough hurt in my days. So one morning I'd just stopped calling myself Corporal Seasons and went back to something simpler. There were still people in this Amasynian asshole that could use some help. The sort they couldn't expect to get from those swain, or the people working for them. I didn't want to help them, either, but they'd always seemed to find me. This time was no different. I had been minding my own on a stack of wood outside the tanner's, trying to convince some stray dog that I was worth getting to know. She wasn't biting, though. It was another bitch that did. When she walked into my view I knew she was trouble, the leggy sort of trouble that wore her clothes to make sure you knew it. It was obvious she was a Teahouse girl with those smokey eyes that tried to look innocent, and those cherry lips that smiled at you as if she knew you'd do whatever she wanted. Boy did I want to at the promises her hips kept making. I mostly kept my eyes down, hoping she'd go right by me, but Lady Luck wasn't having it. A pair of silk slippers and more frills than I thought was decent appeared in front of me. I had to say something. I tossed aside the last of my breakfast, into the alley after that stray and glanced up at her. "You're blocking my view." She didn't seem pleased at the bland tone, or the blander expression, and she shifted her weight to show me just a little more ankle. I wasn't taking the bait. When her lips parted I already knew the sort of voice she'd have, that smooth sort that wrapped around your mind like a snake. Oh, this dame wouldn't be good for me. "I heard you do work sometimes, the kind other folks tend to avoid." Well, someone had been talking. I didn't like anyone knowing what my free time entailed, or how I made a living. I'd have to find the squealer later. "I need to pay the rent, just like anyone else." Say little, keep them talking instead. "I need you to find someone, I'm willing to pay." And she was dangling a pouch that jingled in just the right way before my eyes. Damn. "I'm not a dog, or a lawman. You should try up the street. Find someone more your sort." I shifted my feet and made to stand, but her hand was on my shoulder and holding me down. I gave her a look and glanced that way."It's a friend, she hasn't been around lately." Her face had changed, not longer playing her game of temptation, she seemed worried. I didn't buy it. Maybe it was true, but if she was that worried she could have had a lot more folks than just me doing her dirty work for her. I'd been about to tell her as much, but she kept talking. "She's still young, and her brother never liked her much. He got angry when I asked about her, too... I need to know she's okay... please?" Ah hell, she used that word, and I'm a bit of a sucker. I let out a sigh of resignation and took the pouch from her hand while I pushed her arm off my shoulder so I could stand. Now that I could look down on her I realized just how far... down, I could see. I looked away before my face turned red, down the still quiet street. "Where'd you see her last?" "Outside of town, near the Rememdium. Than--" I didn't let her finish. I didn't want her thanks, I didn't want to get involved with her anymore than I had to. Just offering to check things out, and that's all I'd agree to right now, was enough to get me in trouble if this turned out as bad as I worried it might. I grabbed my coat up from where I left it and started down the street, leaving the girl behind. That other damn stray was following me, though. They say that a guy who wants to look tough should be smoking something. Pipe, cigar, a rolled bit of tobacco. But I didn't smoke, so it really just made me look like an asshole. So I chewed straw, so I didn't open my big mouth when I should be listening. It was easy to find some to shove in your mouth, and people thought you were a no brain farmer for it. I couldn't argue with the statements about my intelligence considering where I was, but it was useful to let people think I just plowed a field. I'd gone over to the Rememdium after stopping to make most of the pouch disappear. The doctor hadn't been particularly forthcoming, rambling on about patient privacy and how he'd tell me nothing. Dumb ass told me that at least one of the folk I was looking for had been around just by refusing to say anything. I spent some time after letting him chase me off just walking the grounds. Didn't find a damn thing. Didn't really surprise me. I was just killing time anyways. Some of the volunteers eventually stepped out for lunch and I fell into step with a pair of dressed for a field tent more than a local clinic. They weren't too keep on my being around at first until I turned on the charm. Then they had -really- not wanted me around, so they answered the questions I had quick as they could. It turned out my client's friend had been to the Rememdium, and so had her brother. They were as stiff as the doctor when I asked why, but I knew now at least that the brother had been sick. That created a few motives for him, if the blonde's theories had any weight to them. No one really saw where they went back in town, or even if they did. But they'd seen the pair stop at the Broken Dagger more than once. I stopped in the path and gave them a half-hearted wave with my best grin. They weren't swooned, maybe the suspiciously violent holes in my coke set them off. It couldn't have been my pretty face. As I walked back towards the Dagger I resisted the urge to shudder. The place was a cesspool of psychotics at the best of times. Now it was regularly riddled with frills one day, and signs about how demonic the frills were the next. I'd rather have gone to the Tickled Pig and risked getting something tickled. Luckily no one would know who I was, so I sucked up my trepidation and went up the stairs to the door. The Dagger was about as useful a place to find information as I expected. If you avoided the more unusual regulars, and the barmaids dressed like the belonged over at the tea house, the rest of the dregs could help. They were my focus for the night while dancing around actually paying for anything more than a few drinks to make friends. Most of the folks here didn't know me, or at least know me well enough for it to matter. I wasted the rest of my day and half my night splashing one cheap beer or another onto a tabletop before I left feeling confident. Confident that my missing girl and her brother had been about at least a few times. Apparently the girl was the sort you remembered, and her brother was ugly like a horse hit with a battle axe. No one knew where they had gone, only that they'd been in just a few days prior. The only other useful tidbit besides them being around was that he worked out as a trapper for a merchant in town that ought to be able to tell if he'd been to work. Without that, one of the drunker patrons had claimed they'd gone frolicking off into the forest while talking about why he appreciated incest. The sauce would do that to you, dumb bastard. I didn't need perverted fantasies. I stomped my way down the street back towards town, feeling like I was going nowhere fast on my way to the merchants when I realized an obvious fact. I'd been in such a rush to start poking around I'd never even bothered to just see if anyone was home. Fat chance, considering, but there might at least be a better clue than the nothing in my pocket. As I hit the outskirts of town I realized I had a tail again. It was that stray from earlier having caught up to me. It probably hoped I had more food, but it was out of luck. Maybe I would stop on my way to the merchants to grab something to throw back at it, but that would encourage it more. I turned a sharp corner, skirting around one of the farmer's markets quiet this time of night and slogged deeper into town. Maybe I should wait until the morning to make my visits, get myself some sleep.

Trumpism, fundamentalism and racism. This is a new version of an older drawing. Jeff sessions recent attempt to lump several “black” organizations together — and then dismiss them is yet another example of why she should NEVER hold any public office.

Next generation sequencing has revealed the widespread occurrence of persistent virus infections in insects but little is known regarding to what extent persistent infections can affect cellular physiology and how they might contribute to the development of disease. In contrast to the pathogenic infections occurring in Drosophila S2 cells, it was observed that Cricket Paralysis virus (CrPV; Dicistroviridae) causes persistent infections in 9 lepidopteran and 2 coleopteran cell lines. The status of the persistent infection was subsequently investigated in more detail using silkworm-derived Bm5 cells, where the infection eventually becomes pathogenic after 3-4 weeks. The short-term persistence period in Bm5 cells is characterized by low levels of viral replication and virion production as well as by the production of viral siRNAs. However, during this period cellular physiology also becomes altered since the cells become susceptible to infection by the nodavirus Flock House virus (FHV). Pathogenicity and widespread mortality at 4 weeks is preceded by a large increase in virion production and the transcriptional activation of immune-related genes encoding RNAi factors and transcription factors in the Toll, Imd and Jak-STAT pathways. During the infection of Bm5 cells, the infective properties of CrPV are not altered, indicating changes in the physiology of the host cells during the transition from short-term persistence to pathogenicity. The in vitro system of Bm5 cells persistently infected with CrPV can therefore be presented as an easily accessible model to study the nature of persistent virus infections and the processes that trigger the transition to pathogenicity, for instance through the application of different "omics" approaches (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics). The different factors that can cause the transition from persistence to pathogenicity in the Bm5-CrPV infection model are discussed.

Hallux metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis using dome-shaped reamers and dorsal plate fixation: a prospective study. Many techniques exist for arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, as well as, indications for each method. The purpose of this study was to determine the results of one method using dome-shaped reamers to prepare the joint surfaces and a low-profile dorsal titanium plate for internal fixation. To date, no prospective studies have reported patient outcomes of arthrodesis of the first MTP joint using this technique. Fifty patients (54 feet) had first MTP joint arthrodesis from January, 2004, through January, 2005. All patients were evaluated preoperatively for underlying pathology, pain, function, and radiographic findings. First MTP joint arthrodesis was fixed with a dorsal titanium plate with preset valgus and dorsiflexion after the joint surfaces were prepared with matching male and female dome-shaped power reamers to achieve congruous cancellous bone surfaces. At a minimum of 1-year followup, patients returned for postoperative evaluation. In addition to evaluation of pain, function, and radiographic findings, patients were asked how long they remained off work, how long swelling persisted, and whether the hardware caused symptoms. Forty-nine of 53 patients returned for followup at an average of 16 months after surgery. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores improved significantly (z = -6.301, p > 0.01) from an average of 51 points preoperatively (range 24 to 97) to 82 points postoperatively (range 47 to 90). Pain scores at final followup demonstrated a significant improvement (z = -6.154, p > 0.01) from a mean of 6.3 to a mean of less than 1 point on the visual analog pain scale. Time off work averaged 3 weeks, while swelling persisted for an average of 11 weeks. Thirty-five feet in 32 patients (66%) were rated as excellent, 16 feet in 16 patients (30%) were rated as good, and two feet (4%) in one patient were rated as fair, with none reporting a poor result. There were four nonunions (8%), with one being a fibrous union having no progression of deformity. Three of four patients with a nonunion reported a good result subjectively with the fourth reporting a fair result. The 96% satisfaction rate in 49 patients indicates that first MTP joint arthrodesis with a low-profile contoured dorsal titanium plate and crossed lag screws after joint preparation with dome-shaped reamers is both reliable and reproducible. The union rate was high (92%), and the revision rate was low (4%).

Hillary and Trump Switch Wigs Hit the Woodline learned through anonymous sources that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump last night accidentally switched wigs at a four-star restaurant in New York. The mishap occurred at Le Bernardin, in Manhattan, where meals on average cost around $150 per person. Both Clinton and Trump were there courting wealthy campaign donors. The trouble began when both candidates noticed and approached each other, with smiles and champagne glasses in hand, obviously intent on civil greetings. But before they spoke, both presidential candidates bent down at the same time, to grab what they thought was a campaign check on the floor, and bumped heads. Witnesses at other tables say that both candidates screamed in pain at the impact, and then in outrage when both felt the draft the realized their wigs were on the floor. Rumors of wigs have dogged both campaigns for some time, prompting numerous questions and hair pulling demonstrations, and even interviews with Hillary’s stylist, who claims that Hillary’s hair is “Fabulous, simply fabulous!” Many have said, “Who cares if their hair is real or not?” But, as one political analyst said, “If we can’t trust them on hair, how can we trust them about anything?” In the confusion of the quick recovery, somehow wigs were shuffled and wound up on the wrong heads. When realization hit, Trump was heard to say, “Bitch! Give me my toupe!” To which Hillary responded, “Asshole! Give me that check!” The wigs were finally sorted out and placed on the correct crown, and the campaign check was actually found to be a dinner check, which both candidates declined.

Q: warning: "Cannot find file '/3' locally. To fix it set server name by environment variable PHP_IDE_CONFIG and restart debug session." Every time I step into the method (prepareStatusFilterQuery()) while unit testing with debug I got warning and debugger not stepping into the method. Warning: Cannot find file '/3' locally. To fix it set server name by environment variable PHP_IDE_CONFIG and restart debug session. Other than this case debugger works fine. A: This happens when you try to step into the code of a mock object. There is no solution for it because the mock objects are instances of classes that are created during the execution of the test. PHPUnit MockObjects uses reflection to gather information about the class you ask it to mock (the names and arguments of the public methods) then it generates the PHP code of a new class (that extends the mocked class) and runs it using eval(). The debugger is actually stepping into the method but PhpStorm cannot display the source code because there is no source code for it. Keep using the "Step Into" command and at some point the control will go back to code (of PHPUnit) whose source code is loaded from a file and PhpStorm can find it.

Q: IFileOperation::DeleteItems doesn't ask for confirmation on Windows 8 (unlike Windows 7) I'm experimenting with deleting files on Windows with IFileOperation::DeleteItems. On Windows 7, when I invoke IFileOperation::PerformOperations` I get a question asking whether I want to delete the files first. But on Windows 8 it doesn't ask for a confirmation and just moves files to trash. This is the prompt I'm talking about: Here's the code: result = iOperation->DeleteItems(iArray); if (SUCCEEDED(result)) { result = iOperation->SetOperationFlags(FOF_ALLOWUNDO); assert(SUCCEEDED(result)); result = iOperation->SetOwnerWindow((HWND)parentWindow); assert(SUCCEEDED(result)); result = iOperation->PerformOperations(); } I've also tried SetOperationFlags(FOF_ALLOWUNDO | FOFX_RECYCLEONDELETE); - the effect seems to be the same. If I request a file to be deleted irrevocably instead of being moved to trash (SetOperationFlags(FOF_WANTNUKEWARNING)) I get a prompt just like in Windows 7. How can I get deletion prompt on Windows 8? A: From the comments: Whether a confirmation is displayed is a user setting. It can be changed from the Properties window of the recycle bin. On your Windows 8 system, that option is disabled. On your Windows 7 system, that option is enabled. It may be, as you suggest, that the default value of this option has been changed in Windows 8, but you can still manually enable it.

United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 03-1478 ___________ James A. McCown, * * Plaintiff-Appellant, * * Appeal from the United States v. * District Court for the Western District * of Missouri St. John’s Health System, Inc.; Sisters * of Mercy Health System; Lloyd Solar; * William Syler; Robert Hammons; Paul * Elmore; John Swope; Robert Norton; * St. John’s Regional Health Center * * Defendant-Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: September 11, 2003 Filed: November 12, 2003 ___________ Before MELLOY, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and FAGG, Circuit Judges. ___________ MELLOY, Circuit Judge. James Christopher McCown (“McCown”) appeals the district court’s1 entry of summary judgment in favor of St. John’s Regional Health Center (“St. John’s”) on 1 The Honorable James C. England, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Missouri, presiding by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c)(1). sexual harassment claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (2000), and the Missouri Human Rights Act, Mo. Rev. Stat. § 213.010, et seq. (2000). We affirm. I. Background McCown was employed by St. John’s as a general construction worker from October 1994 until April 2001. Until October 2000, McCown worked in the projects shop, under the direct supervision of Lloyd Soller2 (“Soller”). During this time period, Soller subjected McCown to inappropriate conduct on multiple occasions including: grabbing McCown by the waist, chest and buttocks; grinding his genitals against McCown’s buttocks in simulated intercourse; telling McCown to “squeal like a pig, or a woman,” and making other lewd comments; attempting to stick the handle of a shovel and a tape measure in McCown’s anus; and kicking McCown in the buttocks. Initially, McCown thought that Soller was kidding. Although McCown did not understand what motivated Soller’s behavior, he speculated that Soller was trying to “irritate” him because “that’s just how Lloyd was.” McCown repeatedly asked Soller to stop, but Soller continued to engage in this offensive behavior. While both male and female employees worked in the projects shop with McCown and Soller, the women primarily worked in the office while the men performed physical labor in various other locations. Soller, however, only supervised the men. There is no evidence in the record that Soller ever sexually harassed any of the women in the projects shop. McCown reported Soller’s inappropriate behavior to Soller’s supervisors on three different occasions. Dissatisfied with their response, McCown formally filed 2 Soller’s name is spelled incorrectly in the district court’s caption of the case and appears as “Solar.” -2- a complaint with the EEOC and the Missouri Commission on Human Rights. Eventually, Soller’s supervisors conducted an internal investigation and removed McCown from Soller’s supervision while giving Soller a disciplinary warning. McCown worked in seclusion from the other employees in the projects shop and was placed under the supervision of two managers. As a result, McCown often received contradictory job orders. Frustrated by his new working conditions, McCown resigned from St. John’s in April 2001. McCown filed suit against St. John’s alleging same-sex sexual harassment, disparate treatment because of gender, retaliation, and constructive discharge in violation of Title VII and the Missouri Human Rights Act. The district court granted summary judgment on each claim. Presently, McCown appeals solely on the sexual harassment claim and argues that the district court erred in determining that he failed to state an actionable claim because he could not demonstrate that Soller’s conduct was based on sex. II. Analysis We review a grant of summary judgment de novo. Quick v. Donaldson Co., 90 F.3d 1372, 1376 (8th Cir. 1996). A party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law only if it can show that no genuine issue of material fact exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48 (1986). Summary judgment is to be granted where the evidence is such that no reasonable jury could return a verdict for the non-moving party. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248. The evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in its favor. Id. at 255; Calder v. TCI Cablevision of Missouri, Inc., 298 F.3d 723, 728 (8th Cir. 2002). “Title VII prohibits ‘an employer’ from discriminating ‘against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of . . . sex.’” Quick, 90 F.3d at 1377 (quoting 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1)) . -3- Discrimination based on sex which creates a hostile or abusive working environment violates Title VII. Id. To state a claim for sexual discrimination based on a hostile work environment under Title VII, a plaintiff must show: (1) he belongs to a protected group; (2) he was subject to unwelcome sexual harassment; (3) the harassment was based on sex; (4) the harassment affected a term, condition, or privilege of employment; and (5) his employer knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take proper remedial action. Id. (citations omitted). The third element, whether Soller’s harassment was based on sex, is the single issue on appeal. Same-sex harassment claims differ from those between males and females because the latter “typically involve[] explicit or implicit proposals of sexual activity,” which create a presumption that the underlying conduct was based on sex. Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Servs., Inc., 523 U.S. 75, 80 (1998). However, this presumption is applicable only if there is credible evidence to show that the alleged harasser is sexually attracted to the plaintiff. Id. Consequently, without this presumption, a same-sex harassment plaintiff needs other methods to prove that the conduct was based on sex. Id. Oncale, the leading Supreme Court case on same-sex harassment claims, sets forth three evidentiary routes by which a same-sex plaintiff can show that the conduct was based on sex. Id. at 80-81. First, a plaintiff can show that the conduct was motivated by sexual desire . Id. at 80. Second, a plaintiff can show that the harasser was motivated by a general hostility to the presence of the same gender in the workplace. Id. And third, a plaintiff may offer direct comparative evidence about how the harasser treated both males and females in a mixed-sex workplace. Id. at 80- 81; see also Elmahdi v. Marriott Hotel Servs., Inc., 339 F.3d 645, 655 (8th Cir. 2003) (in determining whether discrimination was based on sex, the plaintiff is required to prove the harasser’s comments were motivated either by sexual desire, special attention to plaintiff as a male, or that harasser treated males and females differently -4- in a mixed gender environment). Oncale also emphasizes that “whatever evidentiary route the plaintiff chooses to follow, he or she must always prove that the conduct at issue was not merely tinged with offensive sexual connotations, but actually constituted ‘discrimina[tion] . . . because of . . . sex.’” Oncale, 523 U.S. at 81 (emphasis and alteration in original) (quoting 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1)). There is no evidence in the record to demonstrate that Soller was homosexual and motivated by sexual desire toward McCown. Nor is there evidence that Soller was motivated by a general hostility to the presence of males in the workplace. Instead, according to McCown, it appears that Soller was just trying to “irritate” him because “that’s just how Lloyd was.” Additionally, we have previously found that crude gender-specific vulgarity is not, by itself, probative of gender discrimination. See Linville v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 335 F.3d 822, 824 (8th Cir. 2003) (per curiam) (finding that employer’s backhanding plaintiff in the scrotum and laughing “was probative of crude, gender-specific vulgarity [but] . . . was not, by itself, probative of gender discrimination”). Thus, we must consider whether McCown can offer direct comparative evidence of how Soller treated males and females in a mixed-sex workplace to determine if Soller’s conduct was based on sex. The key inquiry under Title VII is “‘whether members of one sex are exposed to disadvantageous terms or conditions of employment to which members of the other sex are not exposed.’” Oncale, 523 U.S. at 80 (quoting Harris v. Forklift Sys., Inc., 510 U.S. 17, 25 (1993) (Ginsburg, J., concurring)). In other words, Title VII does not prohibit workplace harassment unless it is based on sex. In this case, there is no evidence to demonstrate that the area of the projects shop in which McCown worked was a mixed-sex workplace. The only evidence before us is an affidavit by McCown stating that the “workplace consisted of both men and women, although women worked primarily in the offices.” The record indicates that Soller only supervised the men who worked outside the office area of the projects shop in which the women worked. The record is silent as to the amount of interaction that Soller had with the women in the office area of the projects shop. -5-  Even if the projects shop did qualify as a mixed-sex workplace, the only evidence of Soller’s treatment towards women is found in McCown’s affidavit which states McCown never knew of Soller sexually harassing female employees in the workplace. McCown’s express absence of knowledge is not sufficient to generate a jury question as to whether Soller’s conduct constituted “discrimina[tion] . . . because of . . . sex.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1). Although Soller’s conduct was inappropriate and vulgar, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that Soller’s conduct towards McCown was based on sex. Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________ -6- 

Uygur, who has a history of antigay and misogynistic comments, is running to fill the seat of Rep. Katie Hill, who resigned after a revenge porn scandal. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders has rescinded his endorsement of Cenk Uygur for Congress a day after making it, as Uygur, under scrutiny for past misogynistic, homophobic, and racist comments, has decided not to accept any endorsements. Uygur, founder and cohost of the progressive online show The Young Turks, got an important boost Thursday for his run to fill Katie Hill’s U.S. House seat from California with the endorsement of the Vermont senator and presidential hopeful. Hill’s seat opened up when she resigned in October in the wake of a cyber exploitation campaign led by right-wing media, including revelations that Hill, who is bisexual, had engaged in a relationship with a campaign staffer, and accusations of an affair with a congressional staffer. Now Uygur, whose comments include calling women “inferior” and equating sexual assault with being gay, is vying for Hill’s seat. In his endorsement of 49-year-old Uygur, Sanders called him “one of the outstanding progressive journalists in our country,” according to the Los Angeles Times. “He has shown enormous courage in standing up to the greed and power of the corporate elite, and has spent his entire life fighting for justice and the needs of the working people of our country,” Sanders said. But Friday afternoon, Sanders issued a statement withdrawing the endorsement, The Daily Beast reports. “As I said yesterday, Cenk has been a longtime fighter against the corrupt forces in our politics,” the senator said. “However, our movement is bigger than any one person. I hear my grassroots supporters who were frustrated and understand their concerns. Cenk today said he is rejecting all endorsements for his campaign, and I retract my endorsement.” Uygur had put out a statement minutes earlier saying he would no longer accept endorsements. He said “corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups” had criticized Sanders for the endorsement, and he didn't want to subject Sanders to harm. “That’s why I have decided that I will not be accepting any endorsements… The only endorsements I'll be accepting going forward is that of the voters,” he said. Meanwhile, Democrats including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Sens. Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein have all expressed support for Uygur’s Democratic rival Christy Smith. Soon after Sanders endorsed Uygur, videos of his problematic statements began resurfacing on Twitter. Sexist statements have long been prevalent in Uygur’s rhetoric, but in a segment on The Young Turks in 2010, he failed to recognize or acknowledge the difference between sexual assault and homosexuality, insisting that men who sexually abuse other men must be repressing homosexual urges. In the segment, Uygur’s cohost Ana Kasparian explained to the audience that the crime they were discussing occurred on an oil rig where a man was sodomized with a piece of soap by another man. “That’s why I’m talking about repressed homosexuality,” Uygur responded, feigning laughter. “Bob’s gay, right? OK, let’s do something in his ass.” Kasparian pointed out that sexual abuse is often used as a form of intimidation. “They say it’s about power," Uygur said. "But apparently, it’s also a little bit about sex. Not in every case, but the ones where they are trying to put something in your ass, it’s a little bit about sex." Uygur has apologized for hateful things he’s said, claiming he did it to to push buttons. “The stuff I wrote back then was really insensitive and ignorant. If you read that today, what I wrote 18 years ago, and you’re offended by it, you’re 100 percent right. And anyone who is subjected to that material, I apologize to. And I deeply regret having written that stuff when I was a different guy,” Uygur said in 2017 when there was a spotlight on his misogynistic comments. “If someone said that today, I would heavily criticize them on the show and rightfully so, and I have. I’ve criticized myself over the years,” he added. “I had not yet matured and I was still a conservative who thought that stuff was politically incorrect and edgy. When you read it now, it looks really, honestly, ugly. And it’s very uncomfortable to read.” But he continued to spew problematic comments well into the 2010s when he was in his 40s. In 2013, he rated women on a scale of how hot they would need to be in order for a man to let her “suck your dick.” That same year, he promoted bestiality as long as you are “pleasuring the animal,” as if animals could consent. There he equated an animal’s innate reaction to stimulation with proof it was wanted and that no one was harmed. When his cohost pointed out that rape victims can orgasm during an assault, he dismissed it. California’s Women’s List, a “Political Action Committee dedicated to fundraising for, supporting, and electing pro-choice, Democratic women to office in California,” according to its website, has denounced Sanders’s endorsement. “California Women's List is disappointed in Senator Sanders' endorsement of Cenk Uygur, a candidate who has repeatedly used misogynistic, racist, and homophobic language. This endorsement appears to go against Senator Sanders' platform and role as a leader in the progressive movement,” CWL’s Board President Emily Zahn told The Advocate in a statement. In 2017, when Uygur’s history of troubling comments surfaced, he was pushed out of Justice Democrats, which he helped to found. Among the blog posts that surfaced at the time was one from 1999 in which he complained on a trip to Miami that women were flawed because he was not getting enough sex. “Obviously, the genes of women are flawed,” Uygur wrote. “They are poorly designed creatures who do not want to have sex nearly as often as needed for the human race to get along peaceably and fruitfully.”

"You've just gotta finish him off with the Genki Dama I taught you to do!" "This itty bit won't get it done!" "Fall!" "Fall!" "Fall!" "This itty bit will never defeat him!" "But I've already taken all there is to be had on Earth!" "That's why now, I need to gather Genki from throughout the universe!" "Genki from throughout the universe?" "You've hit upon something incredible there!" "I'm asking you, Kaio-sama, to let my voice carry throughout the universe!" "All right, leave that to me!" "Hey, East, South, and West Kaios!" "That's the situation, so give me some help here!" "People of the universe!" "Share your Genki with me!" "Ponpara pappa ponpappa!" "That was..." "Goku's... voice...!" "Okay?"

"W- who are you!" "?" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa, you're like a god!" "Here goes!" "W- wait!" "S- stop!" "Father!" "Goku-sa!" "Son-kun!" "Father!" "Goku-san!" "Kakarrot!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "The Dragon Balls..." "But why?" "We haven't summoned Shen Long!" "Finally, with a universal-scale Super Ultra Genki Dama," "Goku had defeated the last enemy, Yi Xing Long!" "However, all of a sudden, Shen Long appeared without being summoned." "There's something unusual about Shen Long." "What's the matter?" "Is something about to happen?"

Tuesday, March 06, 2007 Men Who Pee Sitting Down Fellas: Do you pee standing up? You’re a stehpinkeln. Or do you pee sitting down? Then you’re a sitzpinkler. MAPSU (Mothers Against Peeing Standing Up) is an organization of “concerned individuals who want to stop peeing standing up, support the victims (those who have to clean up), and prevent unnecessary urine stream fragmentation.” Urine stream fragmentation? Is this an issue in your household? The WC Ghost is a voice-alarm that shames German men from standing to pee at the toilet. "Hey, stand-peeing is not allowed here and will be punished with fines, so if you don't want any trouble, you'd best sit down," one of the devices orders in a voice impersonating (former) Chancellor Gerhard Schroder. Another has a voice similar to that of his predecessor, Helmut Kohl. WC Ghost So tell us… Is one method of peeing preferable to another? Is there any advantage in sitting to pee over standing to pee? If you’ve always done it one way, try it another. Right now! And get back to us with the results. I didn't fight the japs at the Bulge to be told how to pee. Who sits doon to pee? weemen thats who, who doesn't have massive balls to avoid pissing over? weemen thats who. Put weemen on those pills for bladder infections that turn yer pee red and you'll soon see that men don't just make the messes. oh lordy.not even my 2 year old grandson sits down to pee. please. what's wrong with germans? aren't they happy unless they're oppressing someone needlessly? no, really. i'm married to one. whats the deal?and if you were a guy wouldn't you risk dabbling your regions in the water? that'd be a shock in the middle of the night. I usually go before I get up in the morning but on the rare occasion that I get caught short during the day, it's the kitchen sink for me providing Mrs. Waring has done the dishes (I'm not an animal). Failing that, I keep an empty 32 ounce gatorade bottle by the side of my chair. This is the only valid reason for sitting down to pish, being too fuckin lazy to get up.

Feasibility of a tailored intervention to improve preventive care use in women. Women age 50 years and older are in need of multiple preventive health care services. Despite recent improvements in rates of delivery of preventive care services, especially within managed care organizations, substantial numbers of women are still being underscreened. Efforts to improve delivery of preventive care services have often focused on one outstanding service despite the fact that patients often are in need of many services. A total of 893 women age 50 to 55 years were mailed a self-administered survey to identify outstanding preventive health care service needs. Patients in need of three or more outstanding preventive health care services were identified from survey respondents to participate in a feasibility study evaluating a tailored, customized intervention called Tic Tac Health. Five-hundred ninety-one women returned the survey (67%). Four-hundred forty-eight (76%) women were in need of one or more preventive health services; 92 (16%) were in need of three or more. Twenty-two patients (24%) completed the Tic Tac Health card. The women who completed the card were similar to those who did not. Despite documented physician visits, presence of managed care health insurance, and a designated primary care provider, a significant number of women are still in need of multiple preventive health services. An intervention targeting multiple preventive health services was demonstrated to be both feasible and effective. Further evaluation via a randomized controlled trial should be conducted to determine if an intervention like Tic Tac Health would be an effective modality for improving rates of receipt of multiple preventive health care services.

There are many causes of incontinence. Injury during childbirth is one of the most common causes. These injuries may cause a tear in the anal muscles. The nerves supplying the anal muscles may also be injured. While some injuries may be recognized immediately following childbirth, many others may go unnoticed and not become a problem until later in life. In these ¬situations, a prior childbirth may not be recognized as the cause of incontinence. Anal operations or traumatic injury to the tissue surrounding the anal region similarly can damage the anal muscles and hinder bowel control. Some individuals experience loss of strength in the anal muscles as they age. As a result, a minor control problem in a younger person may become more significant later in life. Diarrhea may be associated with a feeling of urgency or stool leakage due to the frequent ¬liquid stools passing through the anal opening. If bleeding accompanies lack of bowel control, ¬consult your physician. These symptoms may indicate inflammation within the colon (colitis), a rectal tumor, or rectal prolapse – all conditions that require prompt evaluation by a physician.

52nd Philadelphia Folk Festival includes returning favorites, strong local ties and new stages Ron Gallo prepares to perform a Sonny Boy Williamson song as Gene Shay kicks off the Folk Fest press conference; Gallo’s band Toy Soldiers perform on Friday | Photo by John Vettese In addition to showcasing returning favorites like Richard Thompson and Carolina Chocolate Drops, as well emerging names like Frank Fairfield and Spirit Family Reunion and an appearance from The Mavericks, the 52nd annual Philadelphia Folk Festival is taking a community-oriented (and growth-oriented) approach to programming this year. A generous helping of the lineup of the August 16 – 18 festival announced in a press conference at Fergie’s Pub in Center City are Philadelphia-rooted and span generations. Ben Arnold told the crowd about meeting The Hooters during a jam session at Plays and Players Theater in the 90s; on the festival’s Saturday night showcase, he’ll join most of The Hooters in the cast of In The Pocket bringing the Essential Songs of Philadelphia project to the Folk Fest stage. Arnold pointed out that the project exists to benefit for the Settlement Music School; “It’s not just a self-aggrandizement mission,” Arnold chuckled. “They’re trying to raise money for a school that a lot of musicians, including myself, are a product of.” Toy Soldiers will also perform on the main stage on Friday – frontman Ron Gallo opened the press conference with a Sonny Boy Williamson cover – as will The Lawsuits and The Stray Birds, as part of the festival’s Philadelphia Music Co-op, which will set up shop on a new “back porch” stage being constructed in the festival campground. “That campground is the breeding ground for a lot of the talent that comes through the program,” said artistic director Jesse Lundy. The stage would be a compliment to the existing camp stage, which operates during the day hours of the festival, as well as it’s nighttime campfire singalong, which goes into the we hours. Executive director Levi Landis said “Those artists just descend on the campground anyway, so this is just an opportunity for us to let those magic moments happen even more.” Another crew of locals, featuring perennial bassist Phil D’Augustino and Brad Hinton will pay tribute to John Hartford’s 1971 LP Aereo-Plain, produced by David Bromberg, while Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner will play a set of Indian slide guitar, and singer-songwriter Marc Silver will perform songs from his new LP A Miner’s Town, a fictional look at the shale industry. This comes in addition to big-name acts like Thompson, who will perform with his electric trio on Friday. Amy Helm – daughter of the late Levon Helm and a singer-songwriter in her own right – also performs on Friday. In addition, Black Prairie – which features members of Folk Fest alums The Decemberists – performs on Saturday, as well as recent favorites Carolina Chocolate Drops. A Thursday night campground concert will serve as a taping of World Cafe with David Dye, featuring Star & Micey, Luella and the Thieves and Caravan of the Sun. WXPN’s Helen Leicht will also curate a Philly Local Stage on Saturday afternoon featuring Ali Wadsworth, Ginger Coyle, Lily Mae, Modern Inventors and Juston Stens & The Get Real Gang. Another new stage will be introduced this year as well. Informally called the cultural tent, Landis said it will feature folklore, storytelling, film screenings and archival video from festivals past, as well as “masters class” workshops with some of the performers. He called it a “potpourii” and a chance to get up close and personal with some of the players. And returning for a second year in a row, Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band will play the main stage. During their appearance at the World Cafe Stage last year, they set a washboard on fire and smashed it. “This convinced us that they had to graduate to the main stage,” Lundy quipped. Marketing chair Lisa Schwartz added that “Nothing says folk music like a flaming washboard.” But as Lundy said, “we have a deep appreciation for folk roots and traditions, but we’re also a rock and roll crowd.

Actually, it’s the first word.” Leave a Reply About The Key Philadelphia: Home to a rich musical history, a unique musical identity, and one of the nation's most thriving musical communities.

11 comments: I am right now proofreading my general-ed, intro-astronomy textbook. I sure hope it sells well: the bastard is trying to kill me. Now I know how my grandfather Viktor felt, with his monster at his throat. So far it's cost me the time I could have used to write at least 10 refereed publications. I'm working on a big job search, which is technically not part of my regular duties. But it fell to me because of a retirement. I hate to say I'm doing NOTHING about research or teaching this summer, but last summer I redesigned courses of my own and one gen-ed course for the department. For free. The election? I'm just going to incorporate it with a lot of silent prayer peppered with wailing and gnashing of teeth. Commiserations. Hiring is one of those big invisible time-sucks that nobody, except the people who have to do it, seems to recognize as such. And designing/redesigning courses is another big of valuable but little-recognized labor. I think the administration has in mind outsourcing it to Pearson, Wiley, et al., at our students' expense, but of course that would mean (1) our students would have yet higher bills to pay and (2) the material wouldn't be as closely suited to their particular needs. I am not doing one single thing for at least another few weeks. I have prep work to do for fall semester, but there is no sense in doing it early because my course schedule may change because of enrollment issues. I have set my work email to a automatic vacation response. My department knows how to get me if they need me, but I'm officially out of the office for nine weeks. As fall semester approaches, I'll get antsy to prep the courses I know will run, but I guarantee that a lot of prep work will be done the week prior to the semester. I also guarantee that I will be doing nothing related to anything else for the college until fall semester begins. Oh -- and there is zero way I'm working the election into my courses, even though I teach rhetoric. I tried last year and my students' critical thinking skills are such that nearly every lesson devolved into ridiculously off-point politics. Unusually, not (mostly) for free, since I got a grant to do a big curricular project. But it's a group project, and I didn't really put enough in the budget for administration/coordination (my fault), so some of it will be for free. And it's not all that much money (but it is a worthwhile project, one that's useful to me and my cohort of teachers and our students in various ways, and one that might bring some additional professional benefits for me, especially if I write about it. Also, it was entirely my choice to propose/do it. So I don't really have any complaints). I'm also teaching, not for free, or even, thank goodness, for adjunct wages, but for less than I do in the regular term, especially when you take into account that medical insurance comes along with my 9-month wages, and summer wages don't yield the 10% retirement contribution that regular-term wages do (yes, for a contingent faculty member, I've got a pretty nice benefits package). I'm increasingly convinced that the summer term(s) should be treated more like the regular terms budget-wise, with the option for people to teach 2, 2.5 (about what I'm doing now), or 3 terms, with a consistent salary/benefit structure for all 3 (I'd also really like the option to take off a spring or fall term sometime, and teach 4 courses over the summer instead. This, of course, requires me to get to the point where I can take summer/a term off, which might be on the horizon, but I'm not there yet). Such a structure would, of course, have to include recognition that most professors do, indeed, work over the summer, especially on teaching prep and research. And I don't think it's going to happen, because the current approach makes the summer term more "profitable," and produces additional pots of money for administrators to play with. Also, if they admitted that faculty work 12 (or even 11) months a year, one of their justifications for administrators' salaries being so much higher than faculty salaries would go away. And yes, I'll be doing a bit of class-prep work for free. I always do. So on the poll (which disappeared after I took it, so I'm working from memory on the options), I picked the first option,sometimes feel like the last one describes my situation all too well, and aspire to one or more of the middle ones. Oh, and the election -- not going to touch it with a 10-foot pole in the classroom. If past experience is any guide, some students may choose research projects that are at least tangentially connected (e.g. election-prediction algorithms or measuring the influence of social media on opinions or something along those lines), and that's fine. All their sources have to be scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, which severely limits their ability to be polemical. Outside the classroom, I'm not at all happy with this week's news (either Hillary's email handling or Bill's bumbling into the middle of things), but I'll still happily vote for Hillary, and with the I-think-reasonable expectation that we'll be in competent, if not perfect, hands. If the other presumptive candidate wins, I'll be genuinely scared, and hope that by some miracle he appoints a competent cabinet, and listens to them (or gets impeached and removed from office in short order,and has appointed a competent VP). I will not be fitting the election into any of my classes. I mainly teach intro physics for engineering students, so even if I wanted to, it would be inappropriate. But yes, I am working this summer. I am teaching one class, for which I'm getting paid, and doing some other projects for free. There's the usual class prep for fall, plus I'm working on redesigning a couple of classes to make them easier for new (mostly adjunct) faculty to jump in and teach right away. I'm also helping a few of our older faculty members learn the ropes of the campus LMS, because they're mandating that we all must use it beginning in fall and they've never bothered. And I'm proofreading the dissertations of two grad students whose committees I am not on but whose committee members are useless at that sort of thing and I'm a sap when it comes to my better TAs. I'll be teaching a class that will cover, among other things, the rise of the Fascists in Europe in the 20s and 30s, so yes, I will be covering this election to some extent, even if I am not explicit about it.

Big breasts aren't all they're sized up to be. Just ask twins Tanesha and Tiwan Sweet, who have shared many things, including their bra size: 40G. That is, up until a few weeks ago. After years of harassment, the 42-year-old sisters decided to reduce their bountiful chests, ABC News reported. Just how bad was the bullying they suffered? "I used to work in a nursing home and a lot of the older men groped at me and touched me," Tanesha, who hails from Long Branch , N.J., told ABC News. Story continues below advertisement "I always went to work wearing two bras and a sweat top, and I would never take it off, even if it was 90 degrees out." But their experiences of sexual harassment weren't confined to the workplace. The sisters also say that going out in public was fraught with moments of humiliation. Prior to the surgery – which took out about 2.5 to 3 pounds of flesh per breast – the Sweets didn't even feel comfortable walking down the road because of the whispers and occasional gawking from cars. Their pre-surgery defence: Multiple bras and avoidance. And all of these moments of embarrassment say nothing of the years of back pain their extra, extra large breasts caused them, which is the usual cause of breast reduction surgery. "In our society, large breasts are considered desirable and sexy, and usually stories about breast reductions involve the patient having physical problems — back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain," wrote Dodai Stewart at Jezebel. "But large breasts can take an emotional toll, as well." Escaping the weight of the breasts seems to have given the twins not just a renewed sense of confidence but also a new life. "Shopping used to be a 'no.' But we're definitely looking forward to it now," Tanesha told HealthNewsDigest.com, "and also a walk on the beach."

Tuesday, 25 December 2012 "They don't really care about us." Note: This post is a follow-up to an earlier post (click here), wherein I've made certain preliminary arguments on the Delhi gang-rape & murder incident. A thought has been bothering me for quite some time now: I’m not sufficiently anti-establishmentarian enough; that, after a point, I’d still be willing to invest whatever little bit of faith I have in my reserves in the machinery of the state, rather than ideologues, demagogues and the so-called civil society. That illusion has shattered. That’s the first failure. Unfortunately, there have been several more, far too many for me to articulate in this space. Three problems Three things that have bothered me, more so with respect to the aftermath of this incident: The first of course is the way in which the media manufactures conscience and outrage (my incredibly crass interpretation of Chomsky’s “propaganda model”; I refuse to call it the “press” or “journalism” because those values, I believe, are entirely absent in public discourse). The industrial nature of the news media requires this manufacturing of conscience; it doesn't care about causes. It happened with the deaths of Keenan and Rueben in Amboli last year; with the Guwahati assault earlier this year; and now, the Delhi gang-rape incident. I’m not commenting on the good or bad of reporting: clearly, some channels and papers are providing exceptional coverage of the incident. But very few manage to break away from this discourse of manufacturing conscience. However, since I've dealt with this issue sufficiently, I shall not bother the reader with any more polemics against the media. My second problem is with the ideological response to the incident, primarily by politically motivated groups – like the BJP, or the ABVP, or Kejriwal’s Aam Admi Party – they have, all of them, hopped on to the “dissing-the-government” bandwagon. For them, essentially, this case isn't any different from the FDI in retail, the 2G spectrum allocation scam, the coal block allocation scam, or any of the UPA’s other bluders, for that matter: they are at India Gate to garner political mileage. This is political posturing at its worse, and its most crass levels. In a Kafila, post arguing against this political double standard-ness, Shuddhabrata Sengupta decimates Sushma Swaraj’s callous comments on the nature of the crime; Swaraj, who said that rape is “worse than death”, and the victim was “zinda lash” or a living corpse, Sengupta argues, is actually “endorsing the patriarchal value system that produces rape”, and that she and the rapist “are in perfect agreement about the worth of the life of a rape victim”. In another Kafila article, Pratiksha Baxi argues that the right-wing politician is “not concerned with how a strident Hindu nationalism is built on the violated bodies of women”. No one in the BJP (or anywhere else, for that matter) cared sufficiently about Dalit girls being raped and set on fire in Haryana; or when women in the North East, like Manorama, continue to raped, molested and killed by army men and paramilitary forces; or in the Naxal-affected areas, when policemen are engaged in custodial rapes; or when politicians and their goons get away with rapes, and get elected into parliament. Unfortunately, rape is reduced to the violation of the woman’s honour; as an aberration to the normalcy of things, where ‘normal’ is defined as a state where women and marginalised groups blindly accept their exploitation and maintain the status quo. Third, and finally, I have a problem with the state’s violent action against the protestors at India Gate. Make no mistake, I’ve never taken warmly to protests, marches, vigils and all that; there’s a deep sense of scepticism I have towards “well meaning” civil society action; but a deeper sense of disillusionment at the failure of governance: something I've called a governance of paranoia – wherein the political (and powered) class is informed by illogical reactionism, and not a coherent ideological standpoint. This is not to suggest that the problem is merely anti ideological. It is the failure on the part of ideologies, and modes of governance to adapt, to say: “We were wrong”. Because it is precisely this posturing, this ambivalence in governance, this resistance to acknowledge the truth that “the emperor has no clothes”, is what maintains the illusion of power. I concede that this argument is incredibly complex, but I shall attempt to deal with it further on. Disparate discourses There is a parallel I see in the Delhi police commissioner, Neeraj Kumar’s, insistence on not acknowledging the fact that the police screwed up at India gate (and on several occasions in the past), and in the National Rifle Association’s unapologetic stance (summed up with the ridiculous reasoning: “Guns don't kill people, people do”) in the aftermath of the Sandy Hooks shooting massacre in Connecticut, just over a week ago. These are disparate incidents, separated by thousands of miles and, on the face of it, have no commonality. Yet, I believe that they are deeply connected. For one, the brutality of shootings and rapes are borne directly by marginal groups, in this case, children, students, and women – groups that require the state’s protection, by any standard of liberal democracies. Secondly, and unfortunately, both the United States government and the Indian state have, time and again, refused to acknowledge the chronic nature of the problems of gun-proliferation and shootouts, and rapes, respectively; nor have they offered any long term solutions; from President Obama’s teary eyes to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s incoherent and, ultimately, inconsequential mumbling, the state, in both cases and countries, has simply sidestepped the issue, proffering only symptomatic solutions and empty rhetoric. Right-wing ideology and patriarchy are powerful ideologies, no doubt. However, that fact that a sovereign nation should so consistently fail to keep both in check is staggering, unless, of course, there is a deeper problem in the very nature of governance itself. What we've got here, is failure of governance Clearly, I’m disillusioned with both major parties in this struggle: the protestors, and the state. My scepticism of the Delhi protests is informed by two major ideas: one, is the criticisms levelled against civil society by the Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek; and idea of the “political society” formulated by the subaltern studies scholar, Partha Chatterjee. While Žižek’s criticisms are founded more on the ideological nature of civil society in his native Slovenia, Chatterjee, being much closer to home, offers more relevant insights. That the nation is following the India Gate protests so closely; that many such protests are being replicated across the country, in Bangalore, in Mumbai, and other cities, is what Chatterjee calls the domain of the “civil society”. Opposed to this civil society is the “political society”, i.e., the social groups like Dalits, de-notified tribes, slum dwellers, who negotiate with governing agencies, usually bureaucrats, low level civil servants, but people who exercise considerable power at the micro-level (my apologies to Partha Chatterjee for reducing his arguments to this dichotomy, but I've done so for the sake of better comprehension). I’ve had the chance to observe such negotiations first hand on several research projects: where people living in bastis spend every day without the certainty of work, or that their makeshift houses would be standing by the time they get home from work. There have been many incidents of rapes in similar areas across the country, most of them usually go unreported, or are a column in newspapers which dedicate full pages to advertisements. Things are worse in states like Orissa, or the North East, where atrocities are carried out against women like clockwork. The brutal nature of the crimes against these women, many of whom brave tremendous odds to fight for justice (for instance the International People’s Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Kashmir has done commendable work in the Shopian murder-rape case), does indeed unite them in a discourse of resistance. Despite of all my cynicism and scepticism, I empathised with the protesters at Delhi; while I do not endorse their views, I do share their anger, their frustration, their angst and their fears. From the ground at Raisina Hill and India Gate, Nilanjana Roy and Aditya Nigam wrote that the protestors were anything but violent in the initial phase, and that they did wish to engage in dialogue with the administration, before the police started lobbing tear gas, that is. Why, then, did the administration, in this case, the Delhi police, not engage in dialogue with the protestors? Why must the Indian state’s response always oscillate between abject apathy and excessive brutality? I suspect it is because the very nature of governance, as I mentioned before, is based on the insistence that the emperor is indeed clothed – and the Indian state insists on insisting with tear gas, water cannons, lathi charges and Section 144. Rape, then, is a political tool against dissent: it is an articulation of violence, of intolerance, of the severest insensitivity; of patriarchal governmentality’s recourse to extrajudicial means to crush any and all levels of transgression, political, social, or otherwise. Delhi police’s action against the protestors at India Gate was rape; it was an assault on democracy; it was a step into a fascist future, right alongside the demands for death penalties and castrations; it was an act of violence which endangers not just women’s safety and rights in our country, but that of citizens’ altogether; particularly social groups which do not have access to media coverage, let alone the posturing of political parties, or the sympathies of the general Indian public. And the failure to acknowledge the fact that rape is a problem - that it is not about sex; nor is it about "men assaulting women", orabout morality; that it is used to further political agenda, to silence dissent, to obfuscate the nuanced nature of violence, is a muted justification and a shameless vilification of rape. “They don’t really care about us” The patriarchal nation-state, the elite civil society and misogynistic political ideologies, by their nature, are inimical to the discourse of women’s access to rights, to address the burning issue of violence against them. Violence against women, in this case rape (‘women’ being incredibly fissured category) is either a political tool itself, or is of absolutely no concern to the parties I mentioned above. Women claiming to speak for women, like the BJP MLAs, propagate the patriarchal ideology of subordination of women by placing a price on their honour and chastity; families would seek to police women, restrict their mobility; the state, as we have clearly established, fails on so many levels – failing to ensure protection, and at the same time, violating it; civil society, on the other hand, is limited by the very narrow nature of its interest; and as for academia, well, I certainly can vouch for the feeling of helpless that has gripped me. Who, then, speaks for the women? Who cares for them? Are women, as many feminist scholars argue, merely property in the patriarchal political economy? – To be terminated as a foetus, or be killed before they have a chance to live? – That raped women, or those who exercise their sexual freedom, are “damaged goods”? At this point, I have nothing better to offer than a handful of these questions: questions that I hope someone would answer; or, more importantly, that someone would ask. Personally, I have no hopes for an answer. I am angry, and at the same time, I am reflecting back on my masculinity, on the assumptions that society has thwarted on my gender. Unfortunately, I do not know how many men out there are doing so. Responding to my previous post, one of my professors suggested that rape is a man’s burden…that there is actually soul searching to be done by every man, because at some point in our lives we have all done violence to women. I want to disagree with this, but I know that I can’t: for, not speaking against injustice is also to exacerbate it, if not to partake in it. That is one of the reasons why I write. But, if ever the process of writing was cathartic, it has now ceased to be so. Acknowledgements: First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who read, and commented on, the earlier post: their comments and responses have been incredibly motivational.

SimpleMarkup #5 – Erotic Humor Welcome back for another week of SimpleMarkup. I got so much praise for how funny last week’s strip was on the invisible said that I started feeling pressure to keep stepping up my comedy game, but it’s hard being progressively funny, so this week I went for something that only very specific editors who have had a very specific experience will find amusing. I’ve gotta manage expectations here, people! I honestly don’t know how comic strip writers do it every week for years. Props to them. 🙂 Hopefully my fellow fiction editors and my own experiences will continue to inspire me. For those who haven’t used the editing software PerfectIt before, the program is very, shall we say, virtuous. Anytime you have the word “shit” in a manuscript, it will ask if you meant “shift.” With “cock” it asks if you meant “clock.” When you’re running a final check through a manuscript where people cuss or cock their heads, it can be amusing, but it’s nowhere near as hilarious as when you’re editing sex scenes. I do want to note that although I’m poking a little fun here, I find PerfectIt to be a very valuable editing tool. Different editors use it different ways, but I run it after I complete an edit, and just like SpellCheck, it’s a very useful tool for catching inconsistencies and tiny things that the human brain can easily miss. For example, it might tell you that while you were pretty good about correcting usages to “backseat driver,” you missed one “back seat driver.” It always catches at least a few things for me.

I feel like it’s been awhile since I’ve written about sex — I’ve been so stuck in my “corruption/people suck” phase that I almost forgot what this blog is really about. S.E.X. Or maybe it’s because I’ve been having so much sex lately (jk kinda) that I almost feel awkward writing about it because I feel like someone is going to tell on me (knowing the Persian community, they’re probably three steps ahead of all that). Hey joonies, hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We wanted to start this week off with a special post by our new, infamous contributor… JAMES BOND: .I wanted to start this post off by telling you the Wikipedia definition of sex: “Sex is a process of combining and mixing genetic traits, often resulting in the specialization of organisms into a male or female variety.” I’m just going to keep it real: the point of having sex is to orgasm (which is the most beautiful and amazingly pleasurable feeling in the world. And if you can’t relate to this, then that really sucks for you). Now let me tell you the Iranian girl’s definition of sex: “SEX is holy like the Bible/Quran. SEX is an insurance policy: it protects your relationship (for some time).” So basically these girls think that as long as you have the insurance policy (sex), you will have a MAN in your miserable life. Of course, until SHIT HITS THE FAN, and even then- the “sex insurance policy” will not keep him from leaving your psycho ass. I love Persian girls. They are the most beautiful CREATURES in the world. You can’t live with them and you can’t live without them. Iranian girls are the most complicated, complex, convoluted, puzzling females species to walk this planet. I guess girls in general fit this profile, but when it comes to sex specifically, Iranian girls are the most complicated/puzzling. For your benefit, I have categorized them into 3 types based on a low to high percentage: 1) First we have the Bronze Category or 3rd place (which in my opinion doesn’t cover a high percentage of Iranian girls, but unfortunately they do exist). GET READY, DRUM ROLL, and ACTION: They are saving their vaginas for marriage. innocent little virgins. Ok… “WHAT the FUCKKKKK?!!” I have never understood these type of girls and unfortunately, I do know a few of them so you know I am not talking out of my ASS/KOOON. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what goes on in their head. I would like to say a CRAPPP-LOAD of nonsense. Look, by the time you are married, lets say you are in your late 20s and you’ve been waiting your whole life to have sex. By the time you are actually going to enjoy it and not feel the virgin penis pain,GOD knows where your relationship stands. I believe that a happy, healthy and comforting relationship has a lot to do with GOOD sex- I’m going to say… at least 40% of your relationship relies on sex. Therefore, when you are so desperate for marriage and don’t have any sexual experience then chances are… before your sex life finally gets good (or at least up to par and calm down women, I ain’t talkin’ like pornstar sex), your relationship is probably going to be miserable, unhappy, sad, sorrowful, and a bit depressing (no one wants to fuck a girl who just sits on top of you looking scared). So yes, this is the first group Iranian girls. Don’t worry guys, they only cover less than 10% of the Iranian girl population (thank fucking God). 2) Next is my favorite group of Iranian girls (or girls in general): the SILVER Category or 2nd place. These girls LOVE and ENJOY every minute of sexual intercourse she knows what she wants. … INCLUDING (but not limited to): ORGASMS/EJACULATION, HOT SEX, blow jobs, 69, DAWWGGYYY STYLE (not trying to be too graphic, but I just needed to make my point). They aren’t saving their prideful virginity for marriage or some other type of “fairytale” miracle. They have sex to orgasm because they know how fucking awesome it is. I really don’t need to elaborate much with this category- its pretty self-explanatory and fabulous. They are out there… but unfortunately, I’d say its only another 10% of the Iranian female population that belongs to this category. 3) DRUM ROLL PLEASE…. and now I’ll let Bruce Buffer will do the honor: “Last but not least is the GOLDCategory or 1st place. Now the “Gold” girls are the most interesting, fascinating and complex species out of all the Iranian girl categories. I get excited when I talk about this particular group of Irooni girls. They are insecure and very desperate for a relationship. THESE are the girls who view sex as an “insurance policy…” to keep them in the relationship. Please stay with me. How SAD and MISERABLE! And sadly, a high percentage of the female species belong to this group, but today I’m only covering the Iranian portion of it. Personally, I consider myself a GIVER, which basically means that I’m all about giving pleasure (not to anyone) So when you are having sex JUST to “insure” your relationship- this means that the LAST thing you are thinking about is having an orgasm. All you are focusing on is keeping your man. This is the most disgusting/unheard thing I’ve ever seen girls do. YES, I AM BITTER AND DISGUSTED because the only reason anyone should ever engage in 69’ing or DAAAWWGYYY style (minus the view) is to have a fucking orgasm. Don’t just do it to make sure your boyfriend sticks around– just because you haven’t had an orgasm doesn’t mean you can’t. It just means you haven’t figured out the right position, or the right move. And yes “JOONIES”– a guy canNOT give you an orgasm until you know how it has to be done FOR YOU… we all need a little guidance here and there. I get it. I know you want to make sure you get MARRIED at the right age …. or whatever else excuse you have for sticking with your sex-confused partner… but YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO BE WITH A POTENTIAL HUSBAND THAT YOU SACRIFICING AN ORGASM AND AN ULTIMATELY HAPPY/HONEST RELATIONSHIP. This is absolutely the most repulsive category and unfortunately, it comprises about 80% of our Persian girl population. Lastly, Iranian girls, I’m going to leave you with a few words of #wisdom: having an orgasm is amazing, its the peak pleasure of sex, its like an explosion inside your body. It feels great and yeah, it might take awhile till you get there- but once you do… it feels like you have absolutely no control of your body for that one moment (but in a good way). And EVEN BETTER: it cures things like tension, stress, and acne- THAT’S RIGHT! So please, get out of your miserable none orgasmic relationship and have ENJOYABLE sex- WITH orgasms. Experience the most amazing feeling in the WORLD. And for God’s sake, at least accept the fact that BLOW JOBS or GETTING EATEN OUT is not “gross.” Honestly, its like the appetizer to the main course: the ORGASM. Trust me it will help you reach the peak pleasure of SEX quicker. Disagree? Do you REALLY think its worth being in an “orgasm-less” relationship? TELL ME WHY: Joonies: We promised nothing would be off limits (and we stay true), so here we go…we’re anticipating some hate-mail for this one #LEGGO! We’ve all heard it before: “Don’t stop baby.” After choking, eyes tearing, its like no one else in the world exists until he is satisfied. That’s right joonies, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about: BLOW JOBS. I was 15 years old when this hot senior at my high school and I drove to a secluded parking lot (yeah I started early, don’t judge). We moved to the backseat of his car and after maybe ten minutes of kissing, he said, “What do you think? Are you ready to try it?” I was an impressionable tenth grader and throughout my life, I was repeatedly told that sex is BAD, sex is for MARRIAGE. So what’s the next best thing for a guy- after sex? GIVING HEAD. I was ready to shed my dorky junior high school girl image and finally hook up with someone sexy, an upperclassman. In the Backseat… So, Hot Senior put on the Dr. Dre CD (I know- so ghetto), and after ONE FUCKING HOUR, I was still moving my head up and down… stopping every 3 minutes asking if I could be done yet. His response? “Don’t stop, baby.” I remember thinking, “Arite, I’m not your fucking baby, and not only is my neck stiff as hell, but my throat hurts… and WHY ARE YOU SO HAIRY?!” Oh- did I mention Hot Senior is Persian? (Of course). Regardless of his ridiculous, un-kept pubes, and the forever ruined Dr. Dre CD, this was a pivotal moment for me. It signified me stepping up from dorkdom to experienced, little Persian girl. Having been a virgin until age 20, I often replaced sex with blow jobs- and NO, not what you’re thinking: NOT “every guy I ever hooked up with,” ONLY with the guys I dated… or was too drunk to care (… jk… kinda). But seriously, giving head was a way to maintain my virgin status without having to bend over and have anal sex or actually lose my virginity. Finally, I could do something that my strict as shit Iranian parents hadn’t specifically forbidden me from doing, right? WRONG. My Persian mother was your typical run-of-the-mill crazy, nosy woman who took it upon herself to listen to my phone conversations behind the door, snoop through my computer and read my diary (yeah I wrote in it once every other blow job). Mind Ya Business Mom! When I was 18 years old, my motherkicked me out of the house for about one week because she found out that I had engaged in some “not so innocent” dick sucking activities. Her response? “Just because you haven’t had intercourse doesn’t mean you are a virgin.” THIS IS WHERE SHE WAS WRONG. Joonies… SEX DOES NOT STAND FOR SUCKING DICK. Yeah I know, its technically oral sex, but intercourse is intercourse- it doesn’t mean you put someone’s privates in your mouth. It doesn’t mean that some guy attempted to give you an orgasm by slobbering all of your vagina (sidenote: why are WE expected to give head when SO many guys care barely work their way around down there)? GENEROUS. I’m definitely not encouraging that you should go open your mouth to every guy you meet. But calm down: Just because you’ve given a blow job or two, does not mean you are slutty and it sure as hell does not mean you ARE NOT a virgin. As for our crazy parents, we grew up in a different generation, a different WORLD. Yes, my mother freaked the hell out and attempted to “teach me a lesson” by kicking me out of my house but, ultimately, our standards compared to the traditions that our parents were raised with are different. I know that I will not be having my husband chosen for me. In fact, I already know that I won’t be a stay at home mother, or a top chef.While that may be hard for them to comprehend, it doesn’t mean that we are doing anything wrong. It is natural to want to experiment and try things out that seem new and exciting. And yes as hard as it is to believe, it is natural to engage in oral sex. (but even more natural for guys to do all the work, just saying). And boys… I’m sure you are ALL about this post- “Yeah baby! Now girls are going to start giving head everywhere!” But, if you expect ME to go down on YOU- then do yourself a favor and follow these rules: 1. Don’t shave, but trim. No one likes pubes getting stuck in their braces… or down their throat. 2. Don’t push my head down. I’m not a robot, if you are SO lucky to get your dick sucked by ME, then I’ll do it at my own pace, k? Thanks. 3. Don’t ASK me to do it. If I want to do it, I will. When you act all bitch-ass and whiney, pleading for head, chances are I’m turned off and ready to go home. And joonies, you know we’ve all had this experience. In fact, for those of us who end up losing our virginity at some point in our early lives, we probably started at least 3 years before that with blow jobs. Its just a part of life… and after a few years, it can even start to grow on you. Disagree? Are sex and BLOW JOBS both sacred? Are you ready to tell me to shut the F up?!

If the Catholic Bishops, their Evangelical Protestant allies, and other Right-wing fundamentalists had the sole objective of decimating religious belief, they couldn’t be doing a better job of it. Testimonials at sites like ExChristian.net show that people leave religion for a number of reasons, many of which religious leaders have very little control over. Sometimes, for example, people take one too many science classes. Sometimes they find their faith shattered by the suffering in the world – either because of a devastating injury or loss in their own lives or because they experience the realities of another person’s pain in a new way. Sometimes a believer gets intrigued by archaeology or symbology or the study of religion itself. Sometimes a believer simply picks up a copy of the Bible or Koran and discovers faith-shaking contradictions or immoralities there. ADVERTISEMENT But if you read ExChristian testimonials you will notice that quite often church leaders or members do things that either trigger the deconversion process or help it along. They may turn a doubter into a skeptic or a quiet skeptic into an outspoken anti-theist, or as one former Christian calls himself, a de-vangelist. Here are some top ways Christians push people out the Church door or shove secret skeptics out of the closet. Looking at the list, you can’t help but wonder if the Catholic Bishops, Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachman and their fundamentalist allies are working for the devil. Gay Baiting. Because of sheer demographics, most gay people are born into religious families. In this country almost half are born into Bible-believing families, many of whom see homosexuality as an abomination. The condemnation (and self-condemnation) can be excruciating, as we all know from the suicide rate. Some emotionally battered gays spend their lives fighting or denying who they are, but many eventually find their way to open and affirming congregations or non-religious communities. Ignorant and mean-spirited attitudes about homosexuality don’t drive just gays out of the Church, they are a huge deconversion issue for straight friends and family members. When Christians indulge in slurs, devout moms and dads who also love their gay kids find themselves less comfortable in their church home. Young people, many of whom think of the gay rights issue as a no-brainer, put anti-gay churches in the “archaic” category. Since most people Gen X and younger recognize equal rights for gays as a matter of common humanity, gay baiting is a wedge issue that wedges young people right out of the church. That makes Fred Phelps a far better evangelist for atheism than for his own gay-hating Westborough Baptist Church. Prooftexting. People who think of the Bible as the literally perfect word of God love to quote excerpts to argue their points. They often start with a verse in 1 Timothy: All scripture is given by inspiration of God. (As if this circular argument would convince anyone but a true believer.) They then proceed to quote whatever authoritarian, anti-gay, or anti-woman verse makes their point, like, Whoever spares the rod hates their children . . . Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. or Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination or Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. In doing so, they call into question biblical authority, because the Bible writers so obviously got these issues wrong. Literalists who prooftext are a tremendous asset to those who would like to see Bible worship fade away – because prooftexting on one side of an argument invites the same in return, and it is easy to find quotes from the Bible that are either scientifically absurd or morally repugnant. ADVERTISEMENT Many liberal or modernist Christians see the Bible as a human document, an attempt by our spiritual ancestors to articulate their best understanding of God through the lens of imperfect human cultures and minds. Suppose such a Christian gets confronted with a verse that says, for example, Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man (Numbers 31:17-18), or No man who has any defect may come near [to God in the temple]: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; no man with a crippled foot or hand, or who is a hunchback or a dwarf, or who has any eye defect, . . . (Leviticus 21:17-23). He or she can simply shrug and say, “Yeah, that’s ugly.” A couple of years ago a group of liberal Christians even kicked off an internet competition to vote on the worst verse in the Bible. Their faith doesn’t stand or fall with the perfection of the Bible. Biblical literalists, on the other hand give someone like me an excuse to talk about sexual slavery or bias against handicapped people in the Bible – in front of an audience who have been taught that the good book is uniformly good. For a wavering believer, the dissonance can be too much. Misogyny. For psychological and social reasons females are more inclined toward religious belief than males. They are more likely to attend church services and to insist on raising their children in a faith community. They also appear more indifferent than males to rational critique of religion, like debates about theology or evolutionary biology. I was interested to notice recently that my YouTube channel, Life After Christianity, which focuses on the psychology of religion gets about eighty percent male viewers. Women are the Church’s base constituency, but fortunately for atheists, this fact hasn’t caused conservative Christians to back off of sexism that is justified by – you got it – prooftexting from the Old and New Testaments. Evangelical minister, Jim Henderson, recently published a book, The Resignation of Eve, in which he urges his fellow Christians to take a hard look at the consequences of sexism in the church. According to Henderson, old school sexism has driven some women out of Christianity permanently, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For those who stay, it means that many are less enthusiastic and engaged than they would be. Churches rely on women to volunteer in roles that range from secretary to director of Children’s programs to missionaries. That takes a high level of confidence in Church doctrines and also a strong sense of belonging. Biblical sexism cultivates neither. Between 1991 and 2011 the percent of women attending church in a typical week dropped by eleven points, from 55 to 44 percent. ADVERTISEMENT Hypocrisy. Christians are taught – and many believe—that thanks to the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit they are a moral beacon for society. The writer of Matthew told his audience, “You are the light of the world.” That’s a high bar, and yet decent believers (along with many other decent people) try earnestly to meet it. But the added pressure on those who call themselves “the righteous” means that believers also are prone to hiding, pretending, posing, and turning a blind eye to their own very human, very normal faults and flaws. People who desperately want to be sanctified and righteous, “cleansed by the blood of the lamb” – who need to believe that they now merit heaven but that other people’s smallest transgressions merit eternal torture—have a lot of motivation to engage in self-deception and hypocrisy. High profile hypocrites like Ted Haggard or Rush Limbaugh may be loved by their acolytes, but for people who are teetering, they help to build a gut aversion to whatever they espouse. But often as not, the hypocrisies that pose a threat to faith are small and internal to a single Bible-study or youth group. Backbiting and social shunning are part of the church-lady stereotype for a reason. They also leave a bitter taste that makes some church members stop drinking the Kool-aid. Disgusting and Immoral Behavior. The priest abuse scandal did more for the New Atheist movement than outspoken anti-theists like Christopher Hitchens (God is Not Great), Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), Sam Harris (The End of Faith) or Bill Maher (Religulous) ever could. To make matters worse—or better, depending on your point of view– Bill Donohue of the Catholic League seems to be doing everything possible to fan those flames: On top of the abuse itself, followed by cover-ups, he is now insisting that the best defense of Church property is a good offense against the victims, and has vowed to fight them “one by one.” The Freedom from Religion Foundation publishes a bi-monthly newspaper that includes a regular feature: The Black Collar Crime Blotter. It features fraud, drug abuse, sex crimes and more by Protestant as well as Catholic clergy. The obvious purpose is to move readers from Religion isn’t true to Religion isn’t benign to Religion is abhorrent and needs fighting. Moral outrage is a powerful emotion. ADVERTISEMENT Science denial. One of my former youth group friends had his faith done in by a conversation with a Bible study leader who explained that dinosaur skeletons actually are the bones of the giants described in early books of the Bible. Uh huh. Christians have come up with dozens of squishier, less falsifiable ways to explain the geological record: The ‘days’ in Genesis 1 were really ‘ages.’ Or God created the world with the fossils already in place to test our faith. Or the biblical creation story is really sacred metaphor. But young earth creationists who believe the world appeared in its present form 6- 10,000 years ago are stuck. And since almost half of the American public believes some version of this young earth story, there are ample opportunities for inquiring minds to trip across proto-scientific nonsense. Like other factors I’ve mentioned, science denial doesn’t just move believers to nonbelief. It also rallies opposition ranging from cantankerous bloggers to legal advocates. It provides fodder for comedians and critics: “If the world was created 6000 years ago, what’s fueling your car?” It may produce some of the most far reaching opposition to religious belief, because science advocates argue that faith, even socially benign faith, is a fundamentally flawed way of knowing. The Catholic Church, perhaps still licking wounds about Galileo (they apologized finally in the 20th Century), has managed to avoid embarrassing and easily disproven positions on evolutionary biology. But one could argue that their atheism-fostering positions on conception and contraception similarly rely on ignorance about or denial of biological science –in this case embryology and the basic fact that most embryos never become persons. Political meddling. If you look at religion-bashing quote-quip-photo-clip-links that circulate Facebook and Twitter, most of them are prompted by church incursions into the political sphere. A spat between two atheists erupted on my home page yesterday. “Why can’t ex-Christians just shut up about religion and get on with building a better world?” asked one. “Why can’t we shut up?!” screeched the other. “Because of shit like this!” He posted a link about Kansas giving doctors permission to deny contraception and accurate medical information to patients. ADVERTISEMENT I myself give George W. Bush credit for transforming me from a politically indifferent, digging-in-the-garden agnostic into a culture warrior. He casually implied that, when going to war, he didn’t need to consult with his own father because he had consulted the big guy in the sky, and my evangelical relatives backed him up on that, and I thought, oh my God, the beliefs I was raised on are killing people. The Religious Right, and now the Catholic Bishops, have brought religion into politics in the ugliest possible way short of holy war, and people who care about the greater good have taken notice. Lists of ugly Bible verses, articles about the psychology of religion, investigative exposes about Christian machinations in D.C. or rampant proselytizing in the military and public schools –all of these are popular among political progressives because it is impossible to drive progressive change without confronting religious fundamentalism. Intrusion. Australian comedian and atheist John Safran, flew to Salt Lake City for a round of door-to-door devangelism after Mormons rang his doorbell one too many times on Saturday morning. More serious intrusions, in deeply personal beginning- and end-of-life decisions, for example, generate reactive anti-theism in people who mostly just want to live and let live. Catholic and Evangelical conservatives have made a high stakes gamble that they can regain authoritarian control over their flocks and hold onto the next generation of believers (and tithers) by asserting orthodox dogmas, making Christian belief an all or nothing proposition. Their goal is a level of theological purity that will produce another Great Awakening based largely on the same dogmas as the last one. They hope to cleanse their membership of theological diversity, and assert top down control of conscience questions, replenishing their membership with anti-feminist, pro-natalist policies and proselytizing in the Southern hemisphere. But the more they resort to strict authoritarianism, insularity and strict interpretation of Iron Age texts, the more people are wounded in the name of God and the more people are outraged. By making Christian belief an all-or-nothing proposition – they force at least some would-be believers to choose “nothing.” Anti-theists are all too glad to help.

Justin Foster is accused of booking a flight and renting a car so he could attack the man dating his former girlfriend. Best Apps and Ways to Use Your Phone During an Emergency A Florida man accused of traveling across the country in March to brutally attack a man dating his former girlfriend has been granted a $1 million bond. A Cook County, Illinois judge set the bond for Justin Foster, 28, of Tallahassee, on Thursday for the attack, which happened in Des Plaines, Illinois. Initially, he was held on no bond since his arrest in August, but the Thursday decision could indicate that a trial is close, according to the Chicago Tribune. Foster is accused of driving to Atlanta so that he could fly to Chicago, where he rented a car and drove to Des Plaines to confront a 26-year-old man who was dating his ex. Prosecutors claim Foster attacked that man on the street, hitting him in the head with a tire iron before cutting off his penis and throwing it over a fence, the Chicago Tribune reports. He’s also accused of carving initials into the victim’s leg. The bloodied victim was left behind a parked car. He survived the attack after a citizen found him and was able to get him transported to a hospital. He has suffered permanent brain damage stemming from the incident, the Tribune reports. Foster allegedly drove back to the airport and flew back down south after the attack, according to the Des Plaines Patch. He was arrested and transferred to Illinois in August and brought to Cook County in late September. In court on Thursday, Foster’s defense attorney Jack Friedlander said there is no physical evidence tying his client to the crime. [Photo: Des Plaines Police Department]

Tags Keeping It 100:Calling Out Misogynoir On social media there’s this moronic meme going around bemoaning the fact that Ray Rice lost his job while the California Highway Patrol officer caught on film assaulting an African-American woman too still has his. Y’all must think I’m some new kind of fool. When the incident with the CHP actually took place none of the so-called revolutionaries sharing this meme now were outraged about the incident. I learned of it through an African woman on my FB friends list. When she sent me the link I immediately read it, signed the related petition, re-posted the story and the petition in order for others to do the same. But the very same African-Americans who were just so OUTRAGED over Eric Garner and Mike Brown later oddly enough had nothing to say on the links about African-American WOMEN who were assaulted by the police. Those links received TWO LIKES and ONE COMMENT. One African-American man was amazed and disappointed that the CHP incident did not garner the attention it should have, and he publicly said so. Kudos to him. But the rest of y’all who want to feign concern NOW just in order to bitch about some supposed racism? You better sit all the way down! Using the battered bodies of African-American women to protect African-American men, the only part of our community whose humanity you value? Let’s keep it 💯: whether the color of the fist connecting to an African-American woman’s jaw is mahogany or cream-colored you really don’t give a fuck about the pain of that woman. And though the brutality that African-American women suffer at the hands of law enforcement(quiet as it’s kept within a community that only acts when victims are male), the REALITY illustrated by statistics is ugly. When African-American girls and women are molested, assaulted, raped and killed it is primarily at the hands of African-American men. But there will be no outrage and marching about this. There will be no empathy and demands for vengeance. The same excuse that the slaveowners used for their violence against enslaved African women is now employed against their great-great granddaughters: ‘she deserved it’. “Black wenches are different-too much attitude”. “You have to use a firm hand with these women, they tend to get out of line and don’t know their place!” To put us “in our place” some will use their fists and penis. Others will serve as apologists for the African-American men who do so. And after all this you will have the unmitigated GALL to demand that African-American women hold YOU down against racist attacks. You will act surprised when African-American women like Kim Foster call you out and refuse to provide you the support that you’ve taken for granted and don’t deserve. But I feel Kim Foster. For so long I’ve been vested in the African-American freedom struggle. I realize, however, that confronting the internalized sexism of my community and acknowledging the unique plight bequeathed to me due to both race and gender simply isn’t a concern of said community. The focus of my ethnic group is on the heterosexual, cisgendered African-American male. Those of us who do not fit that category-African American women and African Americans who are GLBT- do not matter as much. I’ve often begged for reciprocity. Those days are over. The events of the past three months and the strident voices within my group cheering the oppression and mistreatment of African-American women have left me with one option: withdrawal.

Q: Change python environment 'cmd' is not recognized 7 using anaconda on win10. And then I use conda to create a seperate environment of python3: conda create --name python3 python=3 However, when I use activate python3 it shows that: C:\Users\xxxxx>activate python3 'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I have checked all the environment: C:\Users\Alex Cui>conda info --envs # conda environments: # python3 C:\Users\Alex Cui\Anaconda2\envs\python3 root * C:\Users\Alex Cui\Anaconda2 Can someone help why it cannot recognize activate cmd?

Effects of estrogen on gender-related autonomic differences in humans. Our previous studies demonstrated that premenopausal women have dominant vagal and subordinate sympathetic activity compared with age-matched men. This study was designed to investigate the role of estrogen in gender-related autonomic differences. We evaluated the heart rate variability of four healthy groups: age-matched postmenopausal women without hormone replacement therapy (PM), postmenopausal women on conjugated estrogen replacement therapy (PME), men, and non-age-matched premenopausal women (PreM). Frequency-domain analysis of short-term and stationary R-R intervals was performed to evaluate low-frequency power (LF; 0.04-0.15 Hz), high-frequency power (HF; 0.15-0.40 Hz), the ratio of LF to HF (LF/HF), and LF in normalized units (LF%). No gender-related autonomic differences existed between the PM and men groups, but they did exist between the PME and men group. Compared with the PreM group, the PM group had a lower HF and higher LF% and LF/HF. Compared with the PM group, the PME group had a higher HF but lower LF% and LF/HF. These results suggest that conjugated estrogen replacement therapy may facilitate vagal and attenuate sympathetic regulation of heart rate in postmenopausal women. In addition, estrogen may play an important role in gender-related autonomic differences.

Robert Grosseteste was an English philosopher, theologian and statesman during the early 13th century. He is also thought of by some scholars as the first truly scientific thinker and an important contributor to the development of the scientific method. The reason for this high praise is Grosseteste’s treatise on light, De Luce, which he probably wrote around 1225. In it, he describes a cosmological model in which the universe begins with an explosion of light from which matter condenses. The entire universe then forms in nine nested spheres as a result of the coupling between matter and light. The similarities between Grosseteste’s model and today’s ideas about cosmology are one reason he is so admired. Some have even claimed that he predicted the Big Bang theory of cosmological expansion eight centuries ahead of modern cosmologists. It certainly true that modern cosmologies aren’t so different in some ways from Grosseteste’s. Today’s theorists look at the observational evidence and then dream up any number of weird and wonderful models to explain it. But they also have a powerful additional tool at their disposal: mathematics. An important, even defining, component of the work of modern cosmology is the development of a mathematical model of the universe that can be tested against the observational data. So an interesting question is how would Grosseteste have modelled the universe had he had access to the same mathematical tools that modern cosmologists possess. Today, we get an answer thanks to the fascinating work of Richard Bower at Durham University in the UK and a few pals—a team with expertise ranging from modern cosmology and mathematics to medieval philosophy. These guys have created a comprehensive mathematical model of Grosseteste’s cosmology and say it has remarkable similarities to modern ones. They begin their work by describing Grosseteste’s ideas in modern English, since De Luce was originally written in latin. He says the Universe begins with a Big Bang-like explosion in which light expands in all directions giving matter its three-dimensional nature. Light then draws matter with it as it expands in a sphere. This coupling between light and matter is crucial. The expansion eventually stops when matter reaches a minimum density. “As a vacuum is impossible within the Aristotelian framework, there must be a minimum density beyond which matter cannot be rarefied and this sets the boundary of the Universe,” say Bower and co. The result is what modern physicists call a phase change but which Grosseteste calls “perfection”. At this minimum density, the perfect state of light-plus-matter cannot undergo any further change and so forms the first celestial sphere of the universe. This sphere itself emits light or lumen towards the centre of the universe which also interacts with matter, compressing and rarefying it in the process. This interaction goes on to form other spheres corresponding to the fixed stars, the elements of earth, fire, water and so on. This continues until the formation of the ninth sphere corresponding to the Moon, which is not perfect enough to continue to process. The end result is a universe consisting of ten nested spheres. The next stage for Bower and co was to formulate this cosmology mathematically. That required them to make some assumptions based on Grosseteste’s description. They assumed, for example, spherical symmetry, that the rarefaction of matter increases with the radius of the universe and that there is no special length scale which implies that the distribution of matter distribution must follow a power law. That allows them to write a mathematical equation describing the initial state of the density of matter within the universe. They go on to derive field equations describing the propagation of matter and lumen, which depends on the coupling between them. Grosseteste also sets boundary conditions, such as the conditions at which the perfect spheres form and so on. Finally, they put these equations and the boundary conditions into a computer to see how they evolve with time. In other words, they simulate the Big Bang and the evolution of the universe as Grosseteste described it. The results are fascinating. The simulations reveal that the structure of the universe is hugely sensitive to the initial conditions, such as the strength of the coupling between lumen and matter. Or as Bower and co put it: “When we solve numerically the mathematical formulation of the problem, we find that there is a complex interaction between the initial density profile, the intensity of the lumen (and the coupling of lumen to matter) and the opacity.” This produces all kinds of different universes with various numbers of spheres. “For example, there are regions of the parameter space where our models generate fragments of the third sphere interspersed among the inner parts of the second,” say Bower and co. They could prevent that by introducing a new mathematical condition but this isn’t how Grosseteste described it. And therein in lies the problem. Only a tiny part of the parameter space leads to universes with ten spheres that are anything like Grosseteste’s vision. “Stable universes with a finite number of spheres are very much the exception,” they say. What’s interesting about this is that the problem of how to fine tune a cosmological model is something that modern cosmologists are all too familiar with. The currently fashionable way to solve this problem is to imagine a multiverse of all possible outcomes and suppose that the one we live in is somehow special. And in Grosseteste’s cosmology , it is indeed possible to choose a special combination of fundamental parameters that produces his imagined universe, with nine perfected spheres and a tenth sphere of partially separated elements. “Following the same logic as modern cosmologists, we are forced to conclude that some additional physical law is at work that singles out points in the parameter space corresponding to the universe we inhabit,” say Bower and co. That’s the uncomfortable truth that Grossetestes’ cosmology shares with modern ones. Although it is certainly one he could not have suspected. “The sensitivity to initial conditions resonates with contemporary cosmological discussion and reveals a subtlety of the medieval model which historians of science could never have deduced from the text alone,” say Bower and co And they conclude with this: “We cannot know Grosseteste’s view, but the computer simulations have revealed a fascinating depth to his model of which he was certainly unaware.” Fascinating stuff!

The weird little fucker. SILVER SPRING, MD—Officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration called an emergency press conference Monday to urge all Americans to check out a really weird-looking potato. The half-pound russet potato— discovered last night in a Maryland supermarket by an FDA agent who was grocery shopping—is being described as "two potatoes that sort of got fused together somehow, but with some other really weird parts growing off of it." The root vegetable has been deemed so bizarre in appearance that the normal functions of the agency have been suspended until further notice so that all 12,000 FDA employees will have the chance to see for themselves how crazy-looking the potato is. "It is absolutely imperative that all U.S. citizens stop whatever they are doing immediately and check this thing out," FDA commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg said while holding the aberrant tuber aloft and staring at it askance. "I cannot stress this enough: Please do whatever you need to do to get a really good look at this weird-ass potato." "Seriously, it is so freakin' weird," Hamburg continued. "At first, you don't even think it's a potato, but after you look at it for a minute, you realize it is a potato, but it's all fucked up." FDA officials say this one tumor-like bump on the potato's side makes it look even more strange. FDA officials later announced they had already launched a special informational website featuring hundreds of images of the po­tato from every possible angle and extensive notes on its most unusual-appearing features. Agents have posted several pieces of speculative analysis on the site addressing what could have possibly happened to make the potato all screwed up, the most compelling of which proffers the theory that maybe it "grew around a stick that was shoved into the ground or something." Additionally, sources within the FDA have said that some of the potato's eyes have started to sprout, making the vegetable look infinitely weirder. "The next step will be to get the potato into some sort of climate-controlled environment," said Hamburg, addressing interdepartmental concerns that the freakish potato would shrivel up before everyone got a chance to see it in person. "We're not going to make the same mistake we did with that tomato that looked like a butt." Hamburg added that the weird-looking po­tato will temporarily be housed alongside the three-chambered peanut shell Hamburg herself discovered while eating lunch last October, and the rock that looks exactly like a regular potato, which was sent to the agency anonymously in 2009.
