In Brazil's Macho Culture, Homophobia and Misogyny Are Intertwined "Patriarchy, we are not passing by or for just here for a quick stay. We will resist, day after day, your looks of repulsion and your desire to exclude all lesbian and bisexual women...." --Jéssica Ipólito, "01 desejo: o jazido patriarcal" In our society, lesbians and bisexual women are rarely taken seriously by the mainstream -- and the same thing happens in the LGBT community. "They just need some good dick." "They are only confused -- after all, they're women." We live in a phallocentric world that doesn't accept women's choices and desires. It's very easy to get called a "slut" nowadays; all it takes is for a woman to say that she doesn't need a man to be happy. The homophobia that lesbians and bisexual women endure is especially intense: Machismo and misogyny frequently accompany it. Cases of "corrective rape" and a lack of protective public policies make the lives of these women miserable. And neither the LGBT community nor feminist groups offer much support. Of all the kinds of violence against women that exist, perhaps the most severe is being pressed into silence and invisibility. Mankind has created a political plan that requires us to live in a deep desolation, in a huge and profound abyss. The plan is called heteronormativity. The old name for this was "compulsory heterosexuality," during a time when homosexuality was considered a disease. Not long ago, non-heterosexual people were considered anomalies, or curiosities at best. And many people still believe that sexuality is inextricably attached to gender. Lesbian or bisexual identity is unintelligible because it resists that old correspondence. For example, a man can be homosexual, but he can't identify himself with the feminine. The same thing happens to women: A lesbian woman can't identify herself with the masculine. The app Grindr, which has replaced online chat rooms, offers great examples of how deeply heteronormativity and patriarchal ideals permeate our society. In many profiles you can read, "Not into fems." In the gay universe, being effeminate is a flaw, and if you identify yourself as "fem," you can be quickly rejected. The guy you are trying to reach will say, "I'm masc, and I don't like fems." Many times, in order not to miss out on opportunities, feminine gay men pretend they are deeply masculine, assuming a gender expression that doesn't fit them. That happens because they want to feel accepted and respected in the gay community. The feminine, and everything related to it, seems to be a big taboo for many gay people. That's where the sexist, misogynist and transphobic view that says that a trans woman is no more than a man dressed as a woman comes from. The hidden sexism in jokes and conversation might acknowledge that an individual can be gay, while asking, "Why must they be effeminate?" For some, those who embrace a feminine identity are damaging the reputation of the gay community. I was on Facebook the other day when I read something that exemplifies my thoughts: "Homophobia is sexist." And it's true. Both homophobia and sexism are part of the structure of the patriarchy. They are the most enduring building blocks in the construction of prejudice. And when those ideas come from within the gay community, we have a paradoxical situation. In an attempt to become free of bigotry, some gay people end up practicing other kinds of bigotry. In an attempt to fight exclusion, they end up excluding part of their own group. Paulo Freire, in Pedagogy of the Oppressed (1968), says that the oppressed, when given the chance, can become the oppressor, as a means of transcending their own history of oppression. That's why it is so common to see homophobic gays and sexist women. An example of this can be found in the way some gay people criticize congressman Marco Feliciano, an evangelical pastor from the Brazilian Christian Social Party (PSC), accused many times of homophobia and racism. Some criticism of Feliciano from the gay community is itself homophobic. In an attempt to condemn his speeches, they call him a "gay bottom" and ask him to "come out of the closet." In cases like that, when you pay attention to the use of Brazilian Portuguese, where nouns and adjectives are either masculine or feminine, you notice the use of feminine-gendered words to diminish the target. In our society, which makes assumptions about gender based on genitalia alone, the vagina is used to delegitimize women and transgender people. It doesn't matter if a woman is a lesbian, transgender, bisexual or heterosexual; she can still be called a "racha," a slur meaning "hatchet wound," referring to what all women supposedly have between their legs. A common defense is that these comments are only joking, that those who take offense lack a sense of humor, that we should accept it and avoid being those politically correct, boring people. Yet with this very humor we obscure the bias within our groups. When we take a look at the true nature of the patriarchal system, it's easier to understand the question of how people who suffer from bias on a daily basis are able to become oppressors: They are simply enacting the modus operandi of the society around them. We need to understand and fight against the system. When we absorb bias, we end up repeating the oppressor's discourse over and over again, even unconsciously. And with that we only keep the status quo intact. This post originally appeared on HuffPost Brazil and was translated into English.

Q: Unable to encode an unsaved parse file, working with ParseUser I'm trying to make a signUp activity with a profile picture, but i get an error stating: Unable to encode an unsaved parse file. I have the same code in another Class and it doesn't have any problems. I think that the problem could be using ParseUser instead of ParseObject. Please help me, here's my code. public class SignUpActivityStep3 extends ActionBarActivity { public static final String YOUR_APPLICATION_ID = "kuN8ihs88AYhRR1jIWT9psCGUXxSOveJPqVVsBnq"; public static final String YOUR_CLIENT_KEY = "vC4eA9CqulpgkxJ7sTPtoPSANkMxFeiFlYXwODYK"; byte[] Image; ParseFile photo = null; String User, Pass, Email, Description; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_signupstep3); Parse.initialize(this, YOUR_APPLICATION_ID, YOUR_CLIENT_KEY); EditText Desc = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtDesc); Button Finish = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnFinish); Intent intent = getIntent(); User = intent.getStringExtra("User"); Pass = intent.getStringExtra("Pass"); Email = intent.getStringExtra("Email"); Image = intent.getByteArrayExtra("Image"); photo = new ParseFile("userpicture.png", Image); photo.saveInBackground(); savetoParse(); } private void savetoParse() { ParseUser user = new ParseUser(); user.setUsername(User.toString()); user.setPassword(Pass.toString()); user.put("Profile", photo); user.setEmail(Email.toString()); user.signUpInBackground(new SignUpCallback() { @Override public void done(ParseException e) { if (e != null) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Saving user failed." + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); if (e.getCode() == 202) { Toast.makeText( getApplicationContext(), "Username already taken. \n Please choose another username.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } } else { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "User Saved", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); /*Do some things here if you want to.*/ } } }); } } A: You need to wait for the Parse file to finish saving before attempting to sign up the user. You need to do something like this: photo = new ParseFile("userpicture.png", Image); file.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() { public void done(ParseException e) { // If successful add file to user and signUpInBackground if(null == e) savetoParse(); } });

Two former Real Madrid assistants went head-to-head at the iPro Stadium where Aitor Karanka's Middlesbrough shared a 1-1 draw with Paul Clement's Derby. Tom Ince, Andreas Weimann, Darren Bent, Stewart Downing and David Nugent were among the star names on display on Tuesday night but it was Kike and Johnny Russell who hit the headlines with the goals. It looked like Kike's 16th-minute strike would see all three points return to Teesside as Derby dominated possession but failed to create openings. But, with two minutes remaining, substitute Russell struck the equaliser to preserve Clement's unbeaten record as Rams head coach in the league. However, the 43-year-old is also still without a win after three matches in charge. Clement, who followed Carlo Ancelotti to Real in 2013 when the Italian replaced Jose Mourinho - Karanka's mentor - as the man in charge at the Bernabeu, saw his team make an assured start. Derby dominated possession during the early stages and had the first effort at goal after six minutes. Jeff Hendrick showed good feet to retain the ball and exchanged passes with Ince before getting off a shot from just outside the area that Dimi Konstantopoulos had to beat away diving to his right. Image: Jeff Hendrick of Derby County challenges Albert Adomah of Middlesbrough The Rams continued to knock the ball around confidently, without really threatening, but it was somewhat against the run of play when Middlesbrough took the lead with their first noteworthy attack. George Friend's shot from inside the box was deflected into the path of Kike, who curled a left-foot finish away from Scott Carson from the corner of the six-yard area. The Spanish striker, who scored two goals against Bolton on Saturday, nearly had another double shortly afterwards but his header from a deep Downing cross from the left dropped agonisingly wide of the far post. A two-goal deficit would have been extremely harsh on Derby and they did not panic after falling behind, maintaining their possession-based style. Chris Martin stretched to reach a Stephen Warnock cross but his header lacked control and looped harmlessly over the crossbar. Despite losing Jamie Hanson and then Hendrick to injury late in the first half, replaced by Ryan Shotton and Russell respectively, Clement's side finished the opening period strongly and would have gone into the break level but for a super fingertip save from Konstantopoulos to keep out Ince's curling free-kick. The second half took much the same shape as the first as Derby were largely kept at arm's length as they searched for the equalising goal. Middlesbrough occasionally looked a threat on the break and Carson had to help a shot from Kike over the crossbar on the hour mark. Worryingly for the hosts they were struggling to create an opening and Clement's last throw of the dice saw him introduce Bent in the 72nd minute, with Weimann making way. Konstantopoulos smothered a glancing header from Martin right on his goal-line as Derby came close with eight minutes left. The Rams were encouraged by that and, with two minutes remaining, Russell pounced to lash home the ball from eight yards out from Shotton's long punt into the penalty area. Derby boss Paul Clement: "(Hanson) had blurred vision so he came off with concussion. It was a definite yellow card. The second one was also a foul and he (Hendrick) has a dead leg. We've been unlucky but I think we got our reward in the end." Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka: "I think it's a very good point. It was not as great a performance as Saturday, we didn't play in our way but I'm proud of all of them as they worked against a very good team. It was our third game in six days so it's difficult to compete every single day, but for that reason I'm pleased."

TV Report via Naver1. [+4,719, -72] Seems the producers didn't think it'd be a big deal and didn't get enough security. I saw the airport clips and Jung Hyung Don protected Twice all the way to the bus.2. [+3,264, -58] I don't get how the airport did nothing to at least try and get people into lines and following rules when there's all those people3. [+2,504, -44] Must've been hard with everyone out of line ㅠ it's not only Twice, seems like a dangerous situation for all girl groups and celebrities ㅠ hope everyone sees this and steps up security4. [+2,407, -41] Isn't the point of having managers and bodyguards for situations like this... Will agencies not get it until a big accident actually happens?5. [+1,756, -124] Twice handled it really well all things considered... please get them more security6. [+343, -10] It would've been super dangerous if someone who actually had ill intentions for Twice or Taeyeon made it in there...7. [+301, -11] I just don't get why fans think it's appropriate to physically touch them like that.. I was just watching clips and felt grossed out seeing that, imagine how they actually feel..8. [+278, -9] Touching someone without their consent is a crime.. and it makes me sad that agencies could predict situations like this and still not do anything about it9. [+222, -10] Hopefully this is an opportunity for South East Asian countries to start following rules and lines. I remember Korean airports were a mess back then too.10. [+175, -4] Agencies and shows need to start sending people beforehand to check on situations and add security as needed

Frank Seravalli Daily News Staff Writer Standing on the Wachovia Center ice with his teammates hoisting the Stanley Cup in the background, Blackhawks forward Adam Burish couldn’t hold back any longer. Nevermind that he didn’t actually play in the Stanley Cup clinching Game 6, having been a healthy scratch for the last three games because he was invisible in the first three. He just put on his equipment and skated around the ice like he did. In an interview with NBC, Burish couldn’t pass up the opportunity to needle Chris Pronger on live television. “I think Chris Pronger’s the biggest idiot in the league,” Burish said. “I can’t stand him one bit. I hope I never have to see him again. If I see him out there, I might punch him.” Poll Did you really see Patrick Kane’s Stanley Cup-clinching goal for the Blackhawks? Yes. No. Kane was the only one who saw it. Did Burish see the poorly done Chicago Tribune poster that depicted Pronger in a skirt, calling him ‘Chrissy Pronger’? “No, but that’s perfect,” Burish said. “He should have worn that out here [on the ice]. He was terrible.” Classy winner, right? Those are some big words for a forward who has never posted more than nine points in an NHL season or positively contributed to a winning team. Pronger’s resume includes three Stanley Cup Finals with three different teams, a Hart Trophy, a Norris Trophy and a Stanley Cup ring. Our advice to Burish when these two teams meet next season: keep your head up. That is, if he’s playing.

Histological evaluation of wound healing performance of electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate as wound dressing in vivo. Poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate nanofibrous mats were produced by electrospinning method at optimum process parameters. Evaluation of alginate-based electrospun nanofibrous mats as a wound dressing material and their comparison to commercially available wound dressings produced with conventional methods were carried out in vivo. Tissue specimens were examined histopathologically on 4th, 6th, 15th, 21st postoperative days. In contrast to other dressings it was observed that nanofibrous mat could survive on the wound crust in early stages of healing. In terms of epithelization, epidermis characteristics, vascularization and formation of hair follicles, nanofibrous mat showed the best healing performance. This could be explained with presence of nanofibrous mat acting as an artificial skin on the wound region until new tissue regenerated.

Generally speaking, plant transformation is performed using a technique of introducing foreign DNA into plant cells, which allows the foreign gene to be retained/expressed in progenies of fertile seeds or vegetative propagated plants. Quite a few monocotyledons and dicotyledons were actually transformed using the technique. Not only were crops of maize, rice, wheat, barley, sorghum, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, cotton, potato, tomato produced by plant transformation, but those of fruits and other vegetables were also produced, and a strong interest exists for the commercial use of the technique. Publicly known plant transformation methods include physical/chemical methods such as polyethylene glycol, electroporation, particle gun, etc. (direct introduction of DNA) and biological methods using the function of the Agrobacterium bacterium (indirect introduction of DNA). The direct introduction of DNA is often associated with problems such as fragmentation of the target gene during introduction, and an introduction of a high number of copies. As a result, there is a frequent occurrence of transformed plants that do not express the target gene or transformed plants that show weak, abnormal expression (gene silencing). A use of protoplasts in a method prolongs the culture period, which tends to induce non-fertile seeds or malformation in the obtained transformants as a result of mutations during culture. In contrast, such problems are unlikely to occur when the gene is introduced by the Agrobacterium bacterium. In the method using Agrobacterium, the target gene is introduced via regulating expression of the gene group of the virulent region of the Ti or Ri plasmid (vir region). The target gene is introduced into the plant by the work of the protein group encoded in the vir gene, going through many processes including recognizing the interaction and signaling between plant cells and bacterium, inducing expression of the vir gene, creating a Type IV secretion route, recognizing the T-DNA border repeat sequences, creating the T-DNA strand, and transferring the T-DNA strand to the plant cell and then to the nucleus, and integrating the T-DNA into the plant nucleus genome. Such process restrains the number of introduced copies of the target gene and prevents the gene from being fragmented in introduction. As a result, it was possible to prolifically and stably produce transformed plants exhibiting a high expression of the target gene, so that the variation in the population of transformation products is lower than the direct introduction of DNA. As seen, Agrobacterium method is quite suitable for plant transformation, but actually, the success and efficiency of plant transformation vary greatly according to the plant species, the genotypes and the plant tissue types that are used (Potrykus et al., 1997). There are still many plants that cannot be transformed with sufficient efficiency, and at the current stage, the crops for which a large number of transformed plants can be provided are limited. There is thus a strong need for improved methods to solve such problem. Many vectors for transformation have been developed to date in an effort to solve the above problems. The background of vector development is explained below. Conventionally, the large size of the Ti plasmid of a wild-type Agrobacterium at 190 kb or longer made it difficult to use the standard gene engineering method to insert genes into the T-DNA on the plasmid. Hence, methods were developed to insert foreign genes onto the T-DNA. The following bacterial strains having disarmed Ti plasmids, which are tumor-inducing Ti plasmids whose plant growth regulator synthetic gene is deleted from T-DNA, were first constructed: LBA4404 (Hoekema et al., 1983), GV3850 (Zambryski et al., 1983), GV3TillSE (Fraley et al., 1985), C58-Z707 (Hepburn et al., 1985), GV3101::pMP90 (Koncz and Schell, 1986), GV3101::pMP90RK (Koncz and Schell, 1986), GV2260 (McBride and Summerfelt, 1990), NTI (pKPSF2) (Palanichelvam et al., 2000). These bacterial strains were used to develop two methods for introducing the desired gene into the T-DNA of a Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium, or introducing the other plasmid having the T-DNA with the desired gene into Agrobacterium. One of these methods is called an intermediate vector method (Fraley et al., 1983), which allows easy genetic manipulation and insertion of the desired gene, and this method is performed by introducing intermediate vectors that can be replicated by E. coli into the T-DNA of disarmed Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium by homologous recombination through triparental mating (Ditta et al., 1980). Another method is called the binary vector method, which is based on the finding that the vir region is required for integration of T-DNA into plants but it does not have to be located on the same plasmid as T-DNA to perforin its function (Hoekema et al., 1983) (Lee and Gelvin, 2008). This vir region includes virA, virB, virC, virD, virE and virG. The tern “binary vector” refers to a vector carrying T-DNA integrated into a small plasmid replicable in both Agrobacteriumand E. coli, and this binary vector is introduced into Agrobacterium having a disarmed Ti plasmid before use. Introduction of a binary vector into Agrobacterium can be accomplished in any known manner, for example, by electroporation or triparental mating. Examples of a binary vector include pBIN19 (Bevan, 1984), pBI121 (Jefferson, 1987), pGA482 (An et al., 1988), etc., and many new binary vectors have been constructed based on these vectors and used for transformation (Lee and Gelvin, 2008). Agrobacterium A281 (Watson et al., 1975) is a super-virulent bacterial strain whose host range is wide, and its transformation efficiency is higher than other strains (Komari et al., 1986). This feature is based on pTiBo542 of Ti plasmid having A281 (Jin et al., 1987). Three transformation systems that use pTiBo542 have been developed. The first uses bacterial strains that have a disarmed Ti plasmid of pTiBo542, namely, EHA101 (Hood et al., 1986), EHA105 (Hood et al., 1993), AGL0 (Lazo et al., 1991) or AGL1 (Lazo et al., 1991). This system is used as a system with a high transformation ability to transform various plants, and such ability is obtained by applying these strains to the above binary vector system. The second is a super-binary vector system (Hiei et al., 1994; Ishida et al., 1996). This system is a kind of a binary vector system because it consists of a disarmed Ti plasmid having the vir regions (all of virA, virB, virC, virD, virE and virG, virJ) and a plasmid with T-DNA. However, it differs in that it uses a super-binary vector wherein a 14.8 kb KpnI fragment taken from the pTiBo542 vir region (a part of the virD1 gene, the virB gene, the virC gene and the virG gene) has been introduced into the plasmid with T-DNA, i.e., the binary vector. The KpnI fragment was described to be 15.8 kb in the first article (Jin et al., 1987), but it is 14.8 kb to be correct. Besides, homologous recombination via triparental mating can be used as a convenient technique to introduce the T-DNA region carrying a desired gene into Agrobacterium containing a super-binary vector (Komari, 1996). It has now been clarified that the super binary vector system would provide an extremely high transformation efficiency in various plant species (Saito et al., 1992; Hiei et al., 1994; Ishida et al., 1996). In particular, it is reported that the super binary system shows an excellent effect for maize transformation (Ishida et al., 1996). In addition, Khanna and Daggard (2003) was successful in obtaining a wheat transformat that was not obtainable from a combination of LBA4404 and a normal binary vector pHK22 by using a combination of an Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 that is not super-virulent and a super binary vector pHK21. The third is a system in which plasmid pTOK47 (Jin et al., 1987), which is a plasmid carrying a 14.8 kb KpnI fragment (a part of virD1, virB, virC and virG) cut out from the vir region of pTiBo542, is additionally introduced to the binary vector system as a booster vector for improving transformation efficiency. A binary vector system that further includes a booster vector is generally called a “ternary vector system,” but the booster vector comprises a 14.8 kb KpnI fragment as mentioned above, so this vector is particularly referred to as the “super-ternary vector system” in the present specification. In this system, plasmids, which can coexist in Agrobacterium and have different origins of replication (ori) belonging to different incompatibility groups, are used. Each ori needs a coding region of the Rep protein (initiator), and they are normally used in close proximity. It has been reported that the super ternary vector system using pTOK47 shows a high transformation efficiency in many plant species (Wenck et al., 1999; Tang, 2003; Dong and Qu, 2005; Arokiaraj et al., 2009). The origin of replication (ori) of pTOK47 belongs to the IncW incompatibility group, and the plasmids having T-DNA in the reports of these ternary-vector systems use mainly an ori belonging to the IncP incompatibility group. The super ternary vector system using the booster vector pTOK47 is reported as being useful for the transformation of maize, although somewhat less than the super binary vector system (WO 2007/148819 A1). There is also a report of wheat transformation by using a super ternary vector system, in which a 14.8 kb KpnI fragment derived from the vir region of pTiBo542, similar to pTOK47, is located on a plasmid other than the plasmid with the T-DNA (Amoah et al., 2001; Wu et al., 2008). The vector system used by Amoah et al. (2001) and Wu et al. (2008) consists of pGreen which contains only the IncW ori but lacks the rep gene (Hellens et al., 2000), and pSoup which contains the rep gene of IncW in the trans portion and also contains the oriV of IncP that is necessary for self replication (Hellens et al., 2000). That is, the plasmids pSoup and pGreen are stably maintained in the Agrobacterium by pSoup supplementing the replication of pGreen. This system is thus specifically called the dual binary vector system. However, it is actually recognized to be a super ternary vector system consisting of three types of plasmids, the disarmed Ti plasmid, the binary vector pSoup and the ternary vector pGreen. Knowledge Relating to the Vir Region of pTiBo542 Jin et al. (1987) assessed the crown gall formation ability by retaining super-vir (the vir region of pTiBo542) of various lengths as additional matters in Agrobacterium. In the test, the super-virulent strain A281 containing the entire super-vir region was used with the normal strain A348. The result showed that an addition of virB and virG of super-vir is important to improve transformation ability (crown gall formation ability) in both strains. On the other hand, no effect was observed for addition of the virD or virE region (Jin, S., Komari, T., Gordon, M. P., and Nester, E. W. (1987). Genes responsible for the supervirulence phenotype of Agrobacterium tumefaciens A281. J. Bacteriol. 169, 4417-4425. Table 3 and FIG. 3). In addition, Hiei et al (1994) used the disarmed strain EHA101 (pIG121Hm) of the super-virulent strain A281 and a super binary vector LBA4404 (pTOK233) having normal virulence (entire normal vir region) but also retaining a part of the super-vir (virB, virC, virG) on the binary vector to compare their transformation ability concerning rice. As a result, the latter was verified as having a higher transformation efficiency. This suggests that a use of a partial region (virB and virG) provides a higher transformation ability than a use of the entire region when using the transformation vector of the super-vir region. Concerning virD, virD1 and virD2 cut the border sequence and produce T-DNA. In particular, virD2 forms a complex with T-DNA. virD3 has a low conservative property, and is considered to be unnecessary for the transfer of T-DNA. virD4 constitutes a type IV secretion system together with the virB gene group. virD5 is considered to be an accessory protein having a signal function of type IV secretion system (Ream, W. (2008). Production of a mobile T-DNA by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. In Agrobacterium, T. Tzfira and V. Citovsky, eds (New York: Springer Science+Business Media, LLC), pp. 280-313.) Generally speaking, a small vector is more preferable, since incorporation of a desired DNA is easier in a smaller vector. It is also presumed that the foreign DNA that can be stably maintained in E. coli is 1200 to 1500 kb per cell (Tao, Q., and Zhang, H.-B. (1998). Cloning and stable maintenance of DNA fragments over 300 kb in Escherichia coli with conventional plasmid-based vectors. Nucleic Acids Research 26 4901-4909). As such, E. coli cannot stably maintain a plasmid that is larger than a certain size. For example, there are 30 to 40 copies of plasmid having a ColE1-derived origin of replication per an E. coli cell, so the E. coli cell cannot maintain plasmids that are larger than 30 to 40 kb. There was no knowledge concerning the vir region of pTiBo542 suggesting that the virD region and the vin region are particularly useful for transformation using the Agrobacterium bacterium.

Editor’s note: This is a guest post by Will Hoekenga. Will is a content and copywriting specialist for LeadPages. Check out the LeadPages blog for more of his work on copywriting and conversion techniques. Quick: What do F. Scott Fitzgerald, Salman Rushdie, and Joseph Heller have in common? Yes, they’re all renowned novelists. But would you have guessed that, before they were novelists, they were all copywriters? While they may not credit their time spent in advertising as the foundation of their literary skill set, it’s undeniable that it had some influence on their writing styles. As a writer, copywriting forces you to do three things: Understand the importance of every single word. Master the art of working within deadlines. Get inside your readers’ heads. Beyond making you a better writer, learning copywriting also comes in handy when it’s time to implement some of the strategies Jeff recommends the most on this site, such as building your tribe, creating an email list, and learning how to effectively market to that email list. In this post, we’re going to explore four copywriting techniques/tips that can also make a world of difference in your creative writing. Let’s get started. 1. Creativity is overrated When discussing creativity, legendary ad man David Ogilvy once wrote, I have to invent a Big Idea for a new advertising campaign, and I have to invent it before Tuesday. ‘Creativity’ strikes me as a high-falutin word for the work I have to do between now and Tuesday. The biggest problems I’ve seen over and over for creative writers — whether you’re writing a short story, a novel, a memoir, or anything else—are terms like “inspiration,” “writer’s block,” and “creativity.” If you have not signed a publishing contract saying you will have a certain number of words complete by a certain date, the only deadline you might have is one you’ve given yourself — a deadline the aforementioned three words have a bad habit of pushing back. Could just one more week of revisions improve your project? Perhaps. But you know what the best kind of story is? The kind that actually gets read, because the writer finished it. 2. While curiosity kills cats, it rewards writers Let’s bring this full circle, all the way back to another one of my favorite pieces of advice from Mr. Joseph Sugarman: The best copywriters in the world are those who are curious about life, read a great deal, have many hobbies, like to travel, have a variety of skills, get bored and then look for other skills to master. Guess what? Those are the exact same habits you’ll find in the vast majority of great writers. The best part? You don’t have to born with a single one of those habits to possess any of them. Need to get more curious about life? Ask questions. Listen closely. Dig deep beneath the surface of everyday life. Need to read more? Try one of these five strategies. Need a new hobby? There are about 18 million how-to videos on YouTube on any subject you can imagine. Pick something and give it a shot. Learn to fly fish. Cook a bowl of beef pho. Start a vegetable garden. Wish you could travel more? Don’t let time or money slow you down. I once drove 70 miles down I-24 east because there was a tiny town called Bucksnort and I wanted to find out why it was called that. I ended up eating lunch at an antique pinball museum. I wrote a story about it that I later used as a writing sample to get my first job as a professional writer. All that trip cost me was a couple hours and a quarter tank of gas. 3. Tiny details breathe life into your story The tiny details are the ones that bring the story to life. They are what allow you to show instead of tell. To illustrate this technique, let’s pay another visit to our friend, Mr. David Ogilvy. While writing an ad for Rolls-Royce, Ogilvy spent three weeks doing nothing more than reading about the car. That research process, although tedious, allowed him to find the one magic detail he needed to craft a headline that has lived on in advertising lore ever since: At 60 miles an hour, the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock. As Ogilvy said, “[The ad] ran in two newspapers and two magazines, at a cost of $25,000. The following year, Ford based their multimillion dollar campaign on the claim that their car was even quieter than a Rolls.” Tell me, do any of the following statements communicate as effectively as the original headline? The Rolls-Royce is the quietest car I’ve ever driven. The decibel level of the Rolls-Royce at 60 miles an hour is lower than any other car at 60 miles an hour. The Rolls-Royce allows you to go fast and still hear yourself think. Nothing compares. And so it goes with storytelling. The underwater mass of Hemingway’s iceberg only becomes clear when the tiny details provide shreds of evidence that it might exist. 4. Keep a swipe file What’s a swipe file? Nothing more than a collection of thoughts, ideas, useful information, and things you like. Basically, it’s what you open when you need an idea. Now, let’s stop for a second because I know what you’re thinking: This guy wants me to steal other people’s ideas and pass them off as my own? Not at all. Let me explain. The idea of a swipe file is very similar to an idea Roy Peter Clark introduces in Writing Tools, one of the most useful books on writing ever written. What we copywriters call a swipe file, Clark calls “saving string.” I’ll let him explain: I will be struck by a theme or issue in politics or culture… I lack the time and knowledge to write about this topic now, but maybe I will someday. My chances will improve if I begin to save string. What Clark means by “saving string” is that he will collect every little piece of useful knowledge about a particular topic he stumbles upon and set it aside in a file box. Yann Martel used a similar method when he wrote Life of Pi. He would collect all sorts of information on various topics useful to his story, such as surviving at sea, the Bengal tiger, Christianity, Hinduism, the nature of zoos, and put that information into a corresponding envelope. When he reached the point in the story where he needed to write about one of those topics, he opened the envelope and was rewarded with all the “string” he had saved. Never underestimate the power of a well-researched story. While the tiny details may bring it to life, the research ensures all those details make sense. Start a swipe file. Save some string. In the long run, it always pays off. These four copywriting tips are just the beginning. Truth is, there’s so much more to be learned about storytelling and the writing process from writing words designed to sell or inspire action. And although copywriting is not immune from hucksters who — like Sith lords using the dark side of the force — harness its power for evil, its purest purpose is to connect people to resources that will add value to their lives. There’s a lot to be learned from copywriting. Now’s the time to dive in headfirst. Where are you going to start? Share in the comments.

RLC (run length coding) is appreciated as the most suitable technique for compressing binary image data. In the RLC method, series of repeated data are replaced with repeated numbers and pairs of data. When the size of the repeated data is great or the data are frequently repeated, the compression efficiency becomes high. Especially in the case of image data, RLC techniques are quite efficient since the data used for representing the same color are equal. The most important advantage of the RLC techniques is their simplicity in realizing the compression of data. Such RLC compression techniques are used not only for compression of multimedia data such as image data or sound data, but also for data transmission between systems. The RLC techniques will now be described by the following example. data string 1: 0×00, 0×01, 0×02, 0×03, 0×04, . . . , 0×fc, 0×fd, 0×fe, 0×ff data string 2: 0×20, 0×22, 0×28, 0×25, 0×21, . . . , 0×23, 0×21, 0×25, 0×27 data string 3: 0×0a, 0×0a, 0×0a, 0×0a, 0×0a, . . . , 0×0a, 0×0a, 0×0a, 0×0a data string 4: 0×05, 0×11, 0×3f, 0×2e, 0×91, . . . , 0×0a, 0×ab, 0×7f, 0×19 Data string 1 comprises 256 units of 8-bit data. Data string 2 comprises 256 units of 8-bit data. Data string 3 comprises 256 units of 8-bit data “0a”. Data string 4 comprises 256 units of 8-bit data that are irregularly arranged. Under the RLC techniques, the data strings 1 through 4 are compressed as follows. data string 1-1: (0×00:0×00), (0×00:0×01), (0×00:0×02), (0×00:0×03), (0×00:0×04), . . . , (0×00:0×fc), (0×00:0×fd), (0×00:0×fe), (0×00:0×ff) data string 2-1: (0×00:0×20), (0×00:0×22), (0×00:0×28), (0×00:0×25), (0×00:0×21), . . . , (0×00:0×23), (0×00:0×21), (0×00:0×25), (0×00:0×27) data string 3-1: (0×ff:0×0a) data string 4-1: (0×00:0×05), (0×00:0×11), (0×00:0×3f), (0×00:0×2e), (0×00:0×91), . . . , (0×00:0×0a), (0×00:0×ab), (0×00:0×7f), (0×00:0×19) The notation form of the RLC approach is (number of repeated data 5 elements:data value). For example, in data string 1, since the hexadecimal data “00” is repeated once, they are converted into (0×00:0×00). In data string 3, the hexadecimal data “0a” is repeated 256 times, thus being converted into (0×ff:0×0a). According to the foregoing RLC technique, the 256-byte data comprised in the data string 1 are converted into the data of 256*(1+1) or 512 bytes, and the 256-byte data comprised in the data string 2 are converted into the data of 256*(1+1) or 512 bytes. The 256-byte data comprised in the data string 3 are converted into the data of 1*(1+1) or 2 bytes, and the 256-byte data comprised in the data string 4 are converted into the data of 256*(1+1) or 512 bytes. In other words, the 768-byte data comprised in the data strings 1 through 4 are converted into the data of 512+512+2+512=1538 bytes by the RLC technique. The 1538 bytes of “compressed” data are 1.5 times as much as the original size (256+256+256+256=1024 bytes) of the data strings 1 through 4. As a result, when a series of adjacent data are frequently changed, the RLC compression technique may cause the data size to actually be increased. To solve the foregoing problem of the conventional RLC techniques, a modified-RLC technique has been proposed. In the modified-RLC technique, the original data are converted into a form (command: data [, data, data, . . . , data]). The “command” is the number of a series of equal data or the number of a series of unequal data. Table 1 shows commands and respective meanings thereof. TABLE 1CommandMeaning01EQ#202EQ#303EQ#404EQ#5...7eEQ#1277fEQ#12880NEQ#12881NEQ#127...FdNEQ#4FeNEQ#3FfNEQ#200NEQ#1 As shown in Table 1, the modified-RLC technique makes it possible to represent not only a series of equal data of 128 or less, but also a series of unequal data of 128 or less. By using the modified-RLC technique, the data strings 1 through 4 are compressed as follows. data string 1-2 (0×80:0×01, 0×02, 0×03, . . . , 0×7d, 0×7e, 0×7f) (0×80:0×80, 0×81, 0×82, . . . , 0×fd, 0×fe, 0×ff) data string 2-2 (0×80:0×20, 0×22, 0×28, . . . , 0×23, 0×21, 0×22) (0×80:0×25, 0×21, 0×27, . . . , 0×21, 0×25, 0×27) data string 3-2 (0×7f:0×0a) (0×7f:0×0a) data string 4-2 (0×80:0×05, 0×11, 0×3f, . . . , 0×5c, 0×00, 0×39) (0×80:0×11, 0×81, 0×3f, . . . , 0×ab, 0×7f, 0×19) In the data string 1, since the 256 data bytes are different from each other, the data string 1-2 is divided into two groups, each of which consists of 128 data bytes according to the modified-RLC. Likewise, in the data string 2, since the 256 data bytes are different from each other, the data string 2-2 is divided into two groups, each of which consists of 128 data bytes. When the data string 1 of 256 bytes is compressed by the modified-RLC, the data string 1-2 becomes (1+128)*2=258 bytes; when the data string 2 of 256 bytes is compressed by the modified-RLC, the data string 2-2 becomes (1+128)*2=258 bytes; when the data string 3 of 256 bytes is compressed by the modified-RLC, the data string 3-2 becomes (1+1)*2=4 bytes; and when the data string 4 of 256 bytes is compressed by the modified-RLC, the data string 4-2 becomes (1+128)*2=258 bytes. That is, the total 1024-byte data are compressed to 258+258+4+258=778 bytes, or ¾th of the original data size. However, in the event that a series of data are frequently changed like the data strings 1, 2, and 4, the compression efficiency still remains low. Generally, series of multimedia-type data, particularly series of image data, tend to change progressively. For instance, in the case where a human face is photographed by a camera and converted into image data, most of the image data correspond to skin color. However, since the skin color changes slightly with varied direction of light, a value of the image data also changes. As mentioned above, when the adjacent data have slightly different values for indicating light and darkness, both the RLC and the modified-RLC have a significantly low compression rate. In addition, the size of the compressed data becomes greater.

The blatant unfairness has moved lawmakers this year to consider acting, and the Trump administration to urge them on. AD AD There are two major options under consideration. One, which seems to be the more popular option on the Hill, is for the government to directly regulate the prices that ancillary providers can charge. The anesthesiologist would get a payment from a patient’s insurance company equal to, say, the median payment that insurer offers specialists providing that service, while the patient would be charged no more than typical out-of-pocket costs. Or, in another formulation, the money that providers get from insurance companies could be settled by special arbiters, which would be less transparent but perhaps more acceptable to the providers. This rate-setting approach would not much threaten the business model of medical specialists, so it would encounter less opposition, yet it would still scale back the exorbitant amounts that doctors who take the most advantage of the current system currently charge. But under this approach, medical specialists’ prices overall still might not decline as much as they should, people’s insurance premiums might remain higher than need be and the federal government might pay too much. The better approach is to require that in-network hospitals ensure that the providers to which they direct patients are also in-network, or behave as though they are. Once again, patients would encounter more reasonable out-of-pocket costs. Meanwhile, the insurers, hospitals and providers would negotiate suitable rates. This option poses more of a threat to providers’ bottom lines, and therefore could encounter more opposition. But it has more promise to drive doctors’ charges down to a fair level. Both approaches so far have a big gap. Ambulances and air ambulances could still charge patients huge bills. That needs to be addressed in whatever bill emerges. AD AD What cannot happen is for the momentum behind fixing these problems to wane in the midst of an election year or other unrelated political sniping. Too much sensible, bipartisan policy succumbs to such a fate.

Pages Wednesday, August 26, 2015 It has been two whole years since you made your entrance earthside in a gentle waterbirth, which to this day still gives me tingles when I think about it. And you are just like your birth; you are joyful, hard work, beautiful, frustrating, gentle and simply wonderful. Oh, and also a bit of a pain in the ass! Heh. You've not had the best run, health wise, in these last few months. You are such a robust chick that we were all surprised you needed two weeks in hospital with pneumonia! But while you were there you charmed the nurses by singing renditions of 'Shake it off', and made friends with the other kids. Then you got chicken pox from somewhere, although it didn't really phase you at all. A few spots on both your hands was all that showed up, and you were slightly grumpier than usual. You loved having your big brother home to play with while you were both quarantined, so all up, it was quite a nice time. You're seeing the doctors at the childrens' hospital at the moment because your guts are funny. But don't panic, your brother had a funky head and he turned out fine. They are investigating you for Hirschsprung's disease, but if you have it, I think it's a pretty mild case. You are the most verbose toddler I have ever met. Which has helped immensely when you were unwell because you could tell us what hurt and how much. You talk and sing non stop, and I adore hearing you make up little scenes with your toys. The funny little things that I want to remember are how when you drop food you'll say "Sprocky will eat it" if we're home or "ahhh, leave it for the birds" if we're out. The last few weeks you've been declaring that everything you have you "got it my birthday" - be it a toy, food, socks, anything! For your actual birthday you are getting a walking pig, a Cabbage Patch doll (mainly because I always wanted one), and a Duplo set. You continue to be really eclectic in your tastes and will often leave the house with "baby" and a motorbike toy or monster truck. You love to dress up as superheroes and swoosh around with a cape, but refuse to wear shoes or pants every other day, randomly undressing whenever you feel like it. Including in the middle of shopping centres. You tend to leave your 'Elsa shoes' on a bit more often, so they're in high rotation right now which is ace because I think they're awesome. Blue sparkles, what's not to love? You like dropping Tricky off at school and would love nothing more than to be able to stay there and play with the others. His friends swarm around you, and you relish the attention. You were allowed to stay when I was parent helper recently and you thought it was brilliant. You go to playgroup once a week and love spending time with the other kids. You and your little bestie are so cute together - you both have older brothers and are quite similar, so you get along really well. You're rough, robust, caring, funny and fearless - you climb things at the park that some kids twice your age don't attempt. We step back and let you do it, just spotting you on new things, or we'll be met with screams of "I DO MYSELF!". If you fall and I offer you a hug or for it to be kissed better, you declare "No, I alright". So independent. So tough. I'm not sure if it's the way you play, your immense vocab, or your general understanding of the world, but you seem so much older than you are. You're already in a big girl bed, and you took it in your stride like a champion. I've always said your brother was an old soul and you were a brand new one - that intense wonder and amazement at the world, the way you just want to get out and experience everything. Maybe that's it? Whatever it is, I feel like you're turning three or four today, and not two. But there you are, my teeny two year old. Saturday, August 22, 2015 Because my love of all things literature, (particularly children's books and reading with kids), and my love of costumes can triumphantly combine to ensure adorable children get dressed up and get excited about reading. BOOYAH!!! Seriously, it's my favourite time of the school year. The peeps at Costume Box sent some costumes for Tricks and Bobbin to play in, and because we're well in to our costumes and have a few already, they made sure to send me some that weren't just for this week, but forever. Because costumes are not just for Book Week. You have to love them, and take care of them, and clean up after them, and oops, I've gone off on a tangent. Tricks is lovin' his Batman costume. It lights up, so he is well chuffed. He went in to MapGuy's work for a few hours the other day and insisted on wearing it. "Mum, do you think people will think I'm the real Batman?". Yeah, dude, you've got the Christian Bale voice going on, they'll all think you're him. It's a smidge too big for him right now because he's at the beginning of that size range, but it means he will get a good two years out of it and for now I just roll up the legs. It's all built in muscles or "boobies" as he'll tell you, utility belt, and a freakin' sweet mask cape combo with ears that actually stay up! Because there is nothing worse than Batman with sad, droopy ears. Bobbin was sent a monster costume, and it could not be more appropriate. Because she's cute, and growly, and has fangs. Or something like that. She adores it and keeps picking up a little monster puppet we have and saying it's her baby. TOTES ADORBS! It makes me think of Boo from Monster's Inc and she keeps saying "Raaaar" at everyone when she wears it. 168 photos and these two of Bobbin were the best. Kid doesn't stop moving. If the idea of dressing your kids up fills you with dread, check out the Costume Box blog for Book Week costume ideas (it's quite gendered, but you can ignore that - I do) or head straight to the store and get a cool costume with free express delivery for orders over $75 (or $5.99 for orders under $75) - yes, even to WA!! I couldn't believe it when I got my order the next business day, I'm used to waiting 7-10 days even for "rush" mail.What are your kids dressing up as? I'm gonna dress up at school pick up time :) Tuesday, August 18, 2015 The last time I joined I gym I was 18 and in my first year of uni. I was around 55kg and thought I was fat (oh, the hilarity!) so I joined the campus gym all "yeah, let's do this, let's get totally smokin' hot". That feeling lasted about three weeks. After a handful of sessions did not see me looking like a supermodel I gave up. Because motivation and I are not usually on speaking terms. But this time, something has shifted. I'm enjoying going to the gym. I can hear you now: "Wait, what? Who are you and what have you done with the real Glow? I mean c'mon, really?". But I mean it. At least right now I do, who knows what next week will bring. It's been about five weeks and I've gone to the gym at least five times a week. More times in the first week than I ever went to the uni gym, actually. I do pump class, combat, yoga, weights, or sometimes I'm just a cardio bunny and I jog on the treadmill. I have no idea about jogging, but I can sustain 7km/hour for 1.6km without stopping. Everyone else on Instagram is running marathons and here I am rejoicing at 1.6km, but for me that is huge. HUGE! As someone who has suffered from a diagnosed chronic pain disorder for over a decade (and the decade before that when it was non diagnosed and involved a shit load of trips to the childrens' hospital for nuclear scans and what not), exercise is still very new to me. I mean, I had an ACROD pass for ten years for Christ's sake. Disabled parking! My muscles and ligaments were so pathetic at their job that I was allowed the same parking privileges as those with exploding hearts and peeps in wheelchairs. Granted I rarely used it because I was always abused by people who have no idea what an invisible disability is, but still, I had the pass. I was on a disability pension because I couldn't always get out of bed (I was also a bit crazy at the time, but let's just stick with musculoskeletal shiz right now, OK?) and here I am now, running on a freakin' treadmill and attending pump classes. I still feel my usual pain, though it has lessened over the years a bit (I gave up my ACROD permit). Well, either that or I just got used to it with the help of hundreds of hours of mindfulness training and therapy. It's definitely still there, but the post exercise pain drowns it out. Like when you're super itchy and you shove your hand under hot water so the heat cancels the itch, the work out pain is cancelling out the "me" pain. I'm not really sounding like a good advertisement for the gym right now, am I? Go exercise and you'll hurt way more! But it's different pain. It's pain for areason. I did something kickass to elicit these aching muscles, rather than just waking up unable to walk for no reason. If I can't get to the gym, I spend about twenty minutes on the elliptical (the one I scored for free at bulk rubbish which is AWESOME and works perfectly except for the temperature gauge - why do I need one of those though?) and will do some sit ups and kettle bell work at home. Or yoga so the kids can join in. I haven't weighed myself since I started. I don't feel the need to because this isn't about being skinny. I want to be strong. I want to be fit. And I can feel it happening already, slowly but surely. I can ride further, jog further (the fact I can jog at all is awesome, really), lift heavier things, walk up stairs without needing the handrail. So many things I couldn't do before. But saying that, I wouldn't turn down some associated weight loss, just so I could fit in my damn clothes again. It would be nice, not gonna lie. Thursday, August 13, 2015 I was sitting in the car outside Tricky's school when I first saw it. I'd been using the time to draft a blog post in my head about how I'm so tired that as soon as the kids are in bed I'm either at the gym, tidying up, or in bed. It was all tiny violins, neglected blog, WOE IS ME bullshit. But these tiny red dots blew all that away. We were half an hour early because the rigmarole involved in going home, struggling to get a toddler out of and then back in to the car after fifteen minutes just wasn't worth it. In those fifteen minutes Bobbin would be guaranteed to strip off or fall asleep or hurt herself, or all bloody three. Because shit happens at pick up time, it's Murphy's Law. I had her in the front seat with me and she was playing with all the buttons (I still don't have my wipers back on the setting I like) when I noticed a few red dots on her hands that hadn't been there when we'd been having a late lunch an hour earlier. Oh, shit. She continued to play while I consulted Dr Google on the symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth. All the photos I could find were well established cases, I wanted to know what it looked like just when it was popping up. "Don't come near us. Bobbin has some spots and I don't know what they are." I kept Bobbin as distant from others as I could at pick up and we didn't stick around. At home I examined Tricks and the only blemish on his skin was a bite on his leg that had been there a few days. Checking Bobbin again, there were more spots. Shit. I consulted Dr Google some more and got afternoon snacks ready. As I handed Tricky his plate, I saw dots... SHIT. Within the next hour they'd clustered on his hands, elbows, and knees. It was insane how fast they popped up. I made a doctor's appointment for the next morning and wondered what the protocol was for taking highly infectious children to the local shopping centre that houses the GP's surgery. Tricky was up six times before midnight, which is a new record for him. The Trickster wakes between three and six times a night usually (and yes, we've tried almost everything, and we're waiting on some help right now), but he was so itchy he couldn't sleep. I'd bathed him in stinky pinetarsol and dotted calamine all over him, but he was still wanting to rip his skin off his ankles. I ended up holding my warm cup of tea on the itchy areas, and the heat seemed to work. By morning Tricky had more spots, but still mainly clustered in the same areas, and Bobbin only had the ones on her hands still. Despite neither having spots on their feet or in their mouths (that I could see), I was still thinking HFM. The doctor looked all over Tricks. "Is he fully immunised?" "Yep, they both are." "I think it's Chicken Pox." Part of me was all "OH FUCK" and then the other part of me was "HOORAY IT'S NOT HFM!". You can re-catch HFM from yourself over and over again if you're not careful (the virus sheds in fecal matter for up to 11 weeks after you've had it), and let's face it, kids are pretty feral sometimes, at least with Varicella you build an immunity. She called in another doctor for a second opinion because of the unusual presentation. I wanted to tell them that it's always my bloody family that has atypical presentations (13 days in hospital for atypical pnuemonia anyone?), and to keep their minds open. Doctor two disagreed. He said it was something else. They had a fabulous debate with big medical words in it, and all the while gently looking over Tricks. He stood there, silently, for fifteen minutes while the doctors tried to figure out exactly what was going on. "You're doing so well, mate, you're being super brave" I said. His little face crumpled and his lip quivered as he said "I don't want to be here any more." My heart broke and I scooped him up in to a cuddle, while Bobbin stripped off her own clothes and played with the curtain, grabbed the stethoscope and declared "I a doctor, now!" to anyone who would listen. We left with a diagnosis of "most likely Chicken Pox" with an unusual presentation because of the vaccine keeping it milder. I think this is just the universe having a joke on me for complaining about being tired. It's telling me to shut up, stop whining, and get on with it. So that's what I'll do... mostly. I'll still complain a bit, yeah?

Q: Totally boundedness of a compact operator Let $T:\ell_2(\mathbb N)\longrightarrow \ell_2(\mathbb N)$ bounded linear operator such that $$T(\{x_n\})=\{x_n/n\}.$$ I need to prove that $TB(\ell_2(\mathbb N))$, that is closed unit ball in $\ell_2(\mathbb N)$, is totally bounded. A: Since you requested a hint, here is a start: Our operator is $T(\{x_n\}) = \{x_n/n\}$, and we are applying it to $B=B(l_2(\mathbb{N}))$. We wish to show that for $\delta > 0$ the image $T(B)$ is coverable by a finite number of balls of radius $\delta$. Since every element in B is of norm less than or equal to 1, we have that if $\{x_n\} \in B$ then $|x_n| < 1$ for every $n$. Since we know that the square of the norm of every sequence $\{x_n/n\}$ is bounded entrywise by $\sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n^2 = \pi^2/6$, there is an $M$ for which $$\left| \|Tx\|^2 - \sum_{n=1}^M |x_n|^2/n^2\right| < \delta$$ uniformly for all $x \in B$. We know that the subset of $T(B)$ given by $$K = \{ Tx : \{x_n\} \in B \text{ with } x_n = 0 \text{ for } n>M\}$$ is a compact set, since it is a closed bounded subset of a finite dimensional space over $\mathbb{C}$. We cover it with a finite number of balls of radius $\delta$ and centers $\{y_{in}\}$: $$N_{\delta}(\{y_{1n}\}),N_{\delta}(\{y_{2n}\}) ..., N_{\delta}(\{y_{kn}\}).$$ Try to complete the proof from there.

Recognizing Rape For What It Is June 30, 1996 The International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague took a welcome, long-overdue step toward recognizing the dignity of women and the use of rape as a tool of war Thursday when it indicted eight Bosnian Serb officers on charges of sexually assaulting Muslim women during the war in Bosnia. The action by the United Nations' tribunal established for the first time that the international community considers rape during wartime a crime and will treat those who rape as war criminals. To some, especially Americans steeped in the 20th Century drive for gender equality, that would seem to be an inarguable concept. Yet for centuries, women have been raped in wartime by their captors and it has always been considered less an act of violence than simply one of the spoils of war. But the sickening brutality of the war in the former Yugoslavia has done much to change that perception. There, the rape of tens of thousands of Muslim women and girls--some as young as 12, some in front of their families--was used as a tool of terrorism and a means of "ethnic cleansing" by the Serbs. The Serbs were not alone in their barbarism. Investigators from Amnesty International found that Muslim and Croat soldiers also committed rape, though not nearly so frequently and in not nearly so calculated a fashion. But the tribunal's decision to bring rape charges against soldiers and paramilitary police officers does more than bring the weight of international law to bear against eight Bosnian Serbs. It resonates far beyond the boundaries of that conflict to send a message to the world that rape is no longer a tolerable offense in time of war.

One single burst of SV40 gene expression induces cell proliferation in transforming infection of mouse cells. We have studied SV40 gene expression during transforming infection of Go-arrested primary mouse kidney cell cultures. The results show that both early and late viral genes are simultaneously expressed during a short restricted period of time. Synthesis of T-antigen is also time limited and precedes the first SV40-induced cellular DNA replication and mitosis. Cells in mitosis retained stable T-antigen which was redistributed and transmitted to daughter nuclei. Even though no reinitiation of viral transcription occurred after the first mitosis, several cycles of cellular DNA synthesis and mitosis was observed. These results suggest that over a several day period, stable T-antigen conferred a continuous mitotic stimulus to the infected cells.

TRYanuary 2019 Tap Takeover Events! Posted by Tom Rooke on January 10, 2019 January is here and we're all feeling miserable, fat and of course super F***ING skint. Although we all forgot one thing, IT'S BLOODY TRYANUARY!!! Thus meaning we have to drink new beers, try new pubs, breweries, taproom, shops, restaurants you name it we need to try it...So this year we have decided to throw two events. one in our beloved Cornwall and one in our close second Devon.

(1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to an electrophotography, and more particularly to a method for printing a plurality of duplicated copies with the aid of the same and single electrostatic charge latent image once formed on an electrostatic charge retentive member such as a photoconductive or dielectric drum. Such a multiple duplication method generally comprises a step for forming an electrostatic charge latent image corresponding to an image of a document to be duplicated on a charge retentive member; a step for developing the latent image with toner particles to form a visible toner image on the charge retentive member; a step for transferring the developed toner image onto an image receiving member such as a sheet of paper; a step for fixing the transferred toner image on the image receiving member, and a step for repeating successively the developing, transferring and fixing steps for successively supplied image receiving members, while maintaining the latent image once formed on the charge retentive member. (2) Description of the Prior Art Various methods have been proposed for printing a plurality of duplicated copies in electrophotography. For instance, U.S. Pat. No. 2,951,443 describes such a method. However, it has been found that this method produces copies having smaller picture or print density in accordance with the number of copies. U.S. Pat. No. 3,363,555 discloses a multiple duplication method in which a transferring bias voltage applied to a transferring roller is changed in accordance with the number of copies to maintain a constant print density. When the transferring bias voltage is high, an imagewise bright background of the charge latent image might be electrified and thus so-called fog or overdevelopment might occur. This fog is easily produced under a high humidity. Japanese patent application laid-open Publication No. 89,421/76 (corresponding to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 536,712) also discloses a multiple duplication method wherein a developing bias voltage applied to a developing electrode is adjusted in accordance with the number of copies in order to make print density constant. This method does not provide copies having excellent image quality, because the density of higher print density part is developed to an insufficient extent, when the developing bias voltage is so adjusted that copies having constant print density at lower density part can be obtained, while the density of lower print density part is liable to be overdeveloped, when the developing bias voltage is adjusted to provide copies having constant print density at higher density part. Moreover this method also produces said fog in the imagewise bright background.

Benefits Research and Analysis Not Found Elsewhere - Exclusive content from researchers think tanks, industry experts and respected analysts. High-Profile Peers - Interviews with thought leaders in the global and U.S. insurance industry. Online Access Complete, unrestricted access to the popular CarrierManagement.com website, which provides insurance company C-suite executives with daily news, white papers, advice, instruction and editorial on how to manage insurance companies more efficiently and more effectively. The InsurTech startup, launched in 2014, develops artificial intelligence for accident and disaster recovery, and the company said its carrier customers use its technology to make the claims process much quicker. Dalyac plans more hiring, and is aiming for substantial global growth in the months ahead. There will also be a focus on new research and development efforts, with plans to bring on employees who are knowledgeable in particular about machine learning and software engineering. “We want to cement our position as the global leader in AI for accident and disaster recovery,” Dalyac said. Below, Dalyac elaborates about Tractable and its future plans, as part of a Q&A with Carrier Management Editor Mark Hollmer. Q: Could you tell me about your company in a few sentences and what it does in relation to the P/C insurance industry? Dalyac: Tractable develops artificial intelligence for accident and disaster recovery, and we have been in operation since 2014. Leading carriers around the world use our technology to significantly accelerate the claims process. Whenever accidents hit, property is damaged – for example, cars, homes and infrastructure. Every recovery starts with a visual appraisal: an expert inspects the damage, estimates the cost of fixing it, and unlocks the funds to begin the rebuild and return lives to normal. Our AI does just this. It looks at asset damage and predicts repair costs from photos in real time, just like an expert, so claims can be settled faster – in minutes, instead of weeks – and livelihoods restored. Currently, we are focused on auto, but we will expand beyond this to other types of asset damage. Q: What makes your company different from other claims technology providers? Dalyac: Our AI is as accurate as a human assessor or better, and it’s continuously improving as it learns with more images and applications. It’s like an auto repairer who has repaired millions of collisions, and consistently repairs to standard each time. It can also do tasks that humans can’t. For example, the AI can make a prediction on the basis of damage that isn’t obvious or visible to a human but can be picked up by computer vision in the image. It can also understand damage to cars that it isn’t familiar with, such as newer models that it hasn’t seen before. Q: Why should the P/C industry care about you? Dalyac: Speed and scale. Tractable automates photo-based auto appraisal tasks. Appraisals often are time consuming and highly subjective, but through the use of AI we are able to complete these tasks in real time and with unmatched consistency. Q: How many people work for Tractable now, and how many do you plan to hire in 2020? Dalyac: We number around 100 across our New York, London and Tokyo offices. We will likely see an increase to 150+ people in 2020 as we build out expansion offices to meet growing global demand and continue to invest in R&D. Q: Are you generating revenue? Dalyac: We are generating substantial revenue, as we work with some of the world’s biggest insurers, across three continents and 10 markets. Our enterprise value, revenue, and customer base are a multiple of what they were in our Series B. Q: Are you profitable? Dalyac: Unfortunately, I cannot comment on company finances. But this is a very capital efficient business – so we can finance our growth not just through venture capital, but also through growing our activity with our customers. Q: Do you plan to stay independent or will you eventually be seeking a large acquirer or merger partner? Dalyac: At this stage our main priority is to continue delivering our solutions to insurers and collision repair ecosystem players globally as an independent player. Q: What is your biggest goal for 2020? Dalyac: We want to cement our position as the global leader in AI for accident and disaster recovery. This means expanding in markets we are already present as well as entering new ones. Ultimately, we want to enable all carriers to have their own AI so that they can substantially accelerate the claims process and get their policyholders back on the road.

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION MAY 20 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT CHUNYU HU, No. 11-70125 Petitioner, Agency No. A088-112-410 v. MEMORANDUM * ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General, Respondent. On Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals Submitted May 14, 2013 ** Before: LEAVY, THOMAS, and MURGUIA Circuit Judges. Chunyu Hu, a native and citizen of China, petitions pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence factual findings, applying the standards governing adverse credibility determinations created by the Real ID Act, Shrestha v. Holder, 590 F.3d 1034, 1039-40 (9th Cir. 2010), and we deny the petition for review. Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s adverse credibility determination based on an omission from his written application of any mention that police were looking for him at his home, and on the IJ’s negative assessment of Hu’s demeanor. See Zamanov v. Holder, 649 F.3d 969, 973-74 (9th Cir. 2011) (omission cast doubt on petitioner’s credibility); Singh-Kaur v. INS, 183 F.3d 1147, 1151 (9th Cir. 1999) (“special deference” given to credibility determinations based on demeanor). Accordingly, in the absence of credible testimony, Hu’s asylum and withholding of removal claims fail. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir. 2003). Because Hu’s CAT claim is based on the same testimony found not credible and he does not point to any evidence that shows it is more likely than not he will face torture if returned to China, his CAT claim also fails. See id. at 1156-57. PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED. 2 11-70125 

What's next for Chris Froome - a record-tying Tour de France win or a Giro d'Italia triumph to complete the set? Chris Froome did not need victory in La Vuelta to put his name in the history books, but by winning Spain’s grand tour he has opened up a whole new chapter. The four-time Tour de France winner has become the first man to win the Tour and the Vuelta in the same year since 1978 – back when the Vuelta was still raced in the early part of the season – and the first man to win consecutive grand tours in the same season since Marco Pantani’s Giro d’Italia-Tour double in 1998. Froome is Britain’s first ever winner in the Vuelta, and the first Briton to win a grand tour other than the Tour de France. If Team Sky and Froome have been criticised for putting all their eggs in the Tour basket each year, this victory shows he and they can not only build grand tour-winning form but sustain it. The Vuelta perhaps ranks third out of the three grand tours in stature, but its reputation has grown immensely in recent years as each season it boasts stronger line-ups. Riders may start the season targeting either the Giro or the Tour, but most seem to end up fighting it out in the Vuelta. Froome himself has a long history with a race he has finished in second place three times. Known as a late bloomer, his career was 12 seconds away from receiving a kick-start when he was a close runner-up in 2011. He was an accidental contender, having only made Sky’s line-up as a late replacement for Lars Petter Nordhaug and racing in the service of Bradley Wiggins, before taking the red jersey with a shock performance in the time trial. He would be beaten by another outsider, Juan Jose Cobo, but only after a moment’s hesitation on stage 15 as Wiggins cracked on the Angliru – the same climb where Froome effectively wrapped up his victory this year. Froome himself has a long history with a race he has finished in second place three times He was back 12 months later, finishing fourth after emptying himself in support of Wiggins in the Tour de France, but the Vuelta then took a back seat as Froome turned his own attention to the Tour. But he rode again in 2014 after crashing in France, and after finishing second to Alberto Contador by 70 seconds he was not only impressed with how the Vuelta teed him up for the winter but intrigued by how competitive he could be. Another second place to Nairo Quintana 12 months ago further convinced him he could win in Spain without compromising the Tour, and this year he has proved it. While others’ bids to win consecutive grand tours of late have fallen short – notably the Giro-Tour double attempts of Contador in 2015 and Quintana this year – Froome has delivered where others could not. It deserves to be recognised as a truly brilliant sporting accomplishment, though in keeping with Froome’s understated personality it will probably go under the radar at home. Froome was deeply impressive in the way he was able to hold off Vincenzo Nibali – who should have been well-rested since his exertions in the Giro in May. Key again was the depth of Team Sky, who were able to send another star-studded support squad less than four weeks after the end of the Tour, and turning in one of the best overall team performances in years to control this race over mountainous terrain. Froome now has decisions to make about where he goes next. There is no question that the Tour still matters the most. His victory in July left him one shy of the all-time record of five victories – jointly held by Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Indurain. But Froome will also be aware that victory in the Giro – a race he has not started since 2010 – would make him only the seventh man in history to have won all three Grand Tours. Received wisdom – and the recent evidence from riders such as Contador and Quintana – suggest the Giro-Tour double is all but impossible in the modern age – but Froome has given himself an enviable choice when it comes to the next chapter he wants to write. Related Tags Related Sections A dramatic last few hundred meters on stage 19 of the Vuelta a España saw UAE Team Emirates’ Portuguese rider Rui Costa cross the finishing line in fourth place in a restricted sprint. Rui Costa and his teammate Mohoric, himself already a stage winner at this year’s race, produced an attacking display of undeniable class as they formed part of the long breakaway for the day consisting of 26 riders. The stage victory eventually went to Thomas De Gendt (Belgium) of Lotto Soudal, whilst Chris Froome (Team Sky) retained the Red Jersey. UAE Team Emirates’ South African General Classification (GC) specialist, Louis Meintjes, maintained his 14th position in the overall standings. Commenting on his top five finish, former World Champion Rui Costa said: “Today I was aware that it was important to be in the breakaway and I was waiting for that bit of luck that I have missed on previous stages. “I succeeded in being amongst the attackers, however I am sad that I didn’t win, especially since my legs felt great and the victory seemed achievable. I was really focused in the last part of the stage and very strong on the final climb – I gave my best until the end, but ultimately I missed the victory which is obviously disappointing.” A short 117.5km course sees riders tackle two category one climbs, and one HC category climb, during Stage 20 on Saturday. Climbers will be keen to see the mountains and form a breakaway, whilst sprinters will be wary of the brutal 22% incline on some of Friday’s climbs. This stage has a reputation for producing the overall Vuelta winner, so attacking rides from GC contenders should be expected. Related Tags Related Sections Stage 18 witnessed UAE Team Emirates’ Slovenian rider Matej Mohoric form part of the main breakaway for the day ultimately earning him 14th place. The stage victory went to Sander Armée (Germany) Lotto Soudal with Chris Froome (Team Sky) still in the Red Jersey and UAE Team Emirates’ Louis Meintjes maintaining his 14th position in the General Classification (GC) standings. Commenting on his breakaway efforts during the stage, Slovenian rider Mohoric said: “We knew that today the breakaway could go to the finish, so our task was to get into the breakaway. I managed to do so, although it was very hard as it consisted of all the strong riders. “During the day I tried to save as much energy as possible and I gave my best in the penultimate climb where the breakaway split. Then we tried our best to bridge the gap with the leaders in the last kilometers but unfortunately towards the last climb my legs were running on empty.” Stage 19 begins in Caso (Parque de Redes) and runs 149.7km concluding in Gijón. The route is best suited for attackers and includes four climbs, with the final one 16.6km from the finish line.

During the Willow Creeks Association’s Global Leadership Summit this year Tim Keller spoke from the text of the parable of the prodigal son. He recently wrote a book titled The Prodigal God and I assume much of what he said is expounded upon in the book. Tim mentioned that the word prodigal also incorporates the idea of reckless expenditure and because this parable involves the reckless expenditure of love by the father (i.e. God) he titled it The Prodigal God. The sub-title (aim) of the talk was to diagnose spiritual deadness and reveal the cure for it. The parable of the prodigal son was told to Pharisees and religious folk. In Luke 10 we read that the Pharisees and scribes complained because Jesus ate with and received sinners. In the light of this Jesus told three parables, the third of which is the prodigal son. In the parable we often miss the fact that it was not only the younger brother that was alienated from his father but so was the elder. The younger did not love the father but rather he loved the money of his father and so he asked for his share of the inheritance and goes and spends it. But the elder brother wasn’t much different and his attitude is revealed in Luke 15:29 – “he said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve you, and I have never transgressed a command of you. And you never gave a goat to me, so that I might be merry with my friends.” He also was after his father’s possessions though he went after it in another fashion. At this point Tim mentioned that people try to gain salvation in two ways. The one way is like the younger brother – ignoring God and be immoral and irreligious. The other is like the elder son – be very moral and religious. But in both these ways the heart of the person is not drawn to God but rather what can be gained – salvation. By the end of the parable it is the elder brother that is outside the house trying to save him. He is lost because of his goodness. This is what religion does. It acts morally in order to gain salvation while salvation is not gained in that manner. Religion says obey and be accepted. Elder brothers serve God to get things from God. In other words doing what they think is expected of them and s getting leverage over God. The Gospel turns it on its head – you are accepted now obey out of love towards the One who accepted you. We get a righteous record because of the Son and then obey because we want more of God himself not what can give us. Diagnosing Spiritual Deadness So, diagnosing spiritual deadness – it is caused by the attitude of the elder brother. At one level we believe the gospel, but persistently our hearts go back to religion – we go back to being elder brothers. Elder brothers, and here is the source of spiritual deadness, believe they’re getting leverage over God Elder brothers get angry when their life doesn’t go well When elder brothers are criticized they either attack or are demoralized There is no intimacy in an elder brother’s prayer life – it is about what is to be gained Elder brothers have a sense of superiority because of their good works. Their self image is based on right doctrine and they loath all who disagrees with them. They loo down on people who have or know less as lazy They get merciless – forget from where they themselves where saved What to do about this spiritual deadness. Get to a new level of repentance.Repentance that means much more than just being sorry for wrong done and confessing it. It goes to the level of repenting for the reasons behind actions both wrong and right. Repenting from that motivation behind our good actions that seeks to gain something from God.Often the elder brother/Pharisee types are even proud of their repentance. It is one more “good” thing to do by which leverage over God can be gained. Break through to a new level of rejoicing.Here Tim touched on something I have never thought about before. The estate of the father was already divided in two because of the younger brother’s request. He went and spent his part of the inheritance so the only reaming part of that estate would then be the elder’s inheritance. At the return of the young brother the father commands a feast must be held and the young brother is given a ring and robe – all of it at the expense of the older brother’s part of the inheritance! Understandably the older brother is furious. Here this squanderer of his father’s possessions comes back and gets all the advantages of the household for which he has not worked and that at the expense of the older brother – scandalous!We however have an elder Brother quite unlike the one in the parable. Our elder Brother brings us back to our Father at His expense – his very life. This moves us to humility. This is cause for rejoicing. Teaching values Whenever we teach about moral values we should press through to the gospel otherwise it becomes moralism and phariseeism. The reason behind what we do, the motivation is not to gain leverage over God. It is not to somehow gain points with God and then get something in return but because we have been shown mercy and acceptance into God’s family. If we teach morality without this component we will end up with people falling back into the attitude of the elder brother.

How politics, culture, religion and the English language shape sexuality in the North By LISA GREGOIRE Years from now, when the children of homosexual Inuit are old enough to understand, they’ll learn how Nunavut joined the global gay rights movement on a bitter cold, blue-sky morning, Feb. 10, 2014, when a man in a hoodie hoisted a rainbow flag on a pole outside Iqaluit city hall. As is often the case with memorable things in retrospect, it was just a small, spontaneous event, organized by a handful of people with modest intentions — a show of support for gay athletes at the Sochi Olympics. And even as the lesbian, gay, transgendered and queer community of Iqaluit gears up for its big Pride event Sept. 27 at the Francophone Centre, they could never have predicted what would come from that simple act. It’s the first Iqaluit Pride event in several years, following a series of annual Pride picnics held at Sylvia Grinnell Park from 2000 to 2006. The February flag-raising spawned a public debate over city protocol and due process, which quickly transformed into a series of broader questions over homosexuality in the North which had perhaps been brewing for a while. Was homosexuality part of traditional Inuit society? Does it matter? Why do gay people have to be so loud and in your face? What does God think? What do the elders say? Are gay people born that way or is it a choice? Aren’t there more important things to talk about? Are gay kids killing themselves? What should leaders be doing? The answers to those questions will vary, depending on who you ask, and will be influenced by bravado, wisdom, Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, bigotry, self-righteousness, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, vocabulary, experience, ignorance, fear, courage, and love. When Dwayne Nowdlak talked about growing up gay in Pangnirtung, he mentioned a lot of those things. He also talked about being raised by his grandparents and going out on the land and how he loved hunting and camping but how he knew he was different from other boys and how he got bullied so much at school he just quit going. He eventually left Pangnirtung for Iqaluit, and then Ottawa, and he enjoyed the nightlife, and shopping for clothes, but he drank too much and missed home so he came back and got a job at Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. He was different when he returned. He stopped drinking and hiding. He didn’t care what other people thought of him. He ignored their taunts. “I don’t let other people see my reaction,” Nowdlak said in a recent interview. “I decided to be strong and to be happy, and not let little things, like being bullied, don’t let it pull you down.” And then in February, the rainbow flag went up and things got complicated again. At the time, Iqaluit city councillor Simon Nattaq said council should have been consulted first, and many agreed — even some gay Iqalungmiut. Then Nattaq made a statement at a council meeting that got quoted a lot: “People tell me it is not an Inuit custom to be gay.” Supporters and opponents struggled to drown the other out. National media picked up the story. The debate swelled, lost momentum to other news and would have petered out were it not for NTI President Cathy Towtongie who, weeks later, publicly praised Nattaq’s stance at a meeting of Baffin mayors. Duly stoked, the embers reignited and burned even brighter with public denouncements, letters to the editor, a petition for Towtongie’s removal, pro-gay statements from MLAs in the Nunavut legislature — and rainbow sealskin ties — gay Inuit pride Facebook pages and disputes over leadership and minority rights. Nunatsiaq News was not present to record Towtongie’s comments at the mayors meeting and she declined to be interviewed on the subject, both then and now. We published her letter to the editor, in which she says she was merely commending an Inuk elder for speaking out about a sensitive topic. And NTI issued a news release soon afterward saying the organization’s code of conduct requires board members to: • “promote the rights and opportunities of the Inuit of Nunavut, as a whole, and fair treatment of disadvantaged groups within the Inuit population, while respecting the dignity of every person and avoiding discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age or mental or physical disability.” But if you ask Nowdlak and others, it wasn’t what Towtongie said, but what was implied. Rather than making a statement to make all Inuit feel represented by the land claims organization, she praised a man who had questioned the legitimacy of homosexuality in Inuit culture. “I wanted to cry. I couldn’t believe what she said in public,” said Nowdlak. “Right after I heard her comments in the media, I just went home for the day. I didn’t feel welcome anymore.” Jesse Mike, who had left an NTI job just before the flag flap, was equally disappointed. Mike, an educated, bilingual gay Inuk who, with her partner, is raising an adopted daughter in Iqaluit, told Nunatsiaq News she lives a fairly mundane domestic life of work and childcare and most of her friends are straight. But the controversy made her think about her place in the community and whether she was welcome. She needn’t have. “It was really shitty but at the same time, the amount of support, it brought that out. People who were totally fine with us, it hurt them too,” Mike said. “In that way, I’m kind of thankful because it was raw emotions from all sides. It was shitty but also great. And not just friends, people I’m not really close with coming to hug me because they knew it hurt me.” Nalulirama: I’m confused Mike translates the word lesbian into qaigajuariit: two soft things rubbing together. Nowdlak uses the word angutauqatigiik for gay: two men who are a couple. “We always lived in a tent or shared an igloo. It was never out in the open in my time, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t exist,” says Naujaat elder Piita Irniq, who now lives in Ottawa where he works with Inuit men in prison. And if there’s no word in Inuktitut to describe homosexuality, then it’s time to come up with one, Irniq said. In the meantime, “isumasuqputit” is the best advice he can give to all Inuit, gay and straight: follow your thoughts, it’s your life. Chris Trott, an associate professor at the University of Manitoba, who has extensively studied Inuit kinship, social organization, myth, oral traditions and missionaries in the eastern Arctic, says decades of research have yielded no references to homosexual relationships in Inuit history. There was likely homoerotic activity among men when they were away hunting or between the women who stayed behind, Trott said. It was probably considered no big deal. But as far as he knows, there were no Inuktitut words to describe homosexual people. So in that sense, Trott says, the elders are probably correct to say formal gay relationships are an example of southern influence. Practically speaking, liberation for Inuit homosexuals came in the form of the English language. “In the encounter with the west, and in speaking English, they have a way of talking about that now,” Trott said. “Once people find the vocabulary to articulate what they’re feeling, then they say it. And I think that’s what’s going on now. Young people now have a way of speaking about it.” Such statements might give fodder to religious leaders, some of whom say sexuality is a choice, and that God’s choice is heterosexuality. Wayne Moore, Iqaluit’s long-time Pentecostal reverend who says he was a “drinker and a womanizer” until he became born again in Jesus Christ, and whose Iqaluit flock numbers 50 to 70 people, exemplifies the “love the sinner, hate the sin” philosophy of many Christian faith leaders. “My personal position is that homosexuals are people like anybody else. God loves them. We’re supposed to love them too. But I believe that, according to the Bible, that’s not an acceptable lifestyle to God,” Moore said. David Parsons, the Anglican bishop of the Arctic, the denomination with the largest congregation in the North — an estimated 45,000 — declined to be interviewed for this story claiming it was “creating news for news’ sake” and therefore “not the best way to meet the mission of the Diocese of the Arctic.” When pressed, he offered this emailed statement: “There are many positions held within the Anglican Church of Canada on homosexuality. The Diocese of the Arctic does not promote or condone a homosexual lifestyle choice. However we welcome all people as parishioners and this includes those who are homosexual. We seek to care for all, their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.” Father Daniel Perreault who presides over the Roman Catholic congregation of 100 or so in Iqaluit, and also travels monthly to Pond Inlet, seemed to hold the most liberal views. He said he was surprised to hear about the gay pride event tomorrow night. When asked if he would attend, he laughed and said in a small town, one has to be careful what one does lest rumours be told about you. He said to his knowledge, homosexual relations were taboo in Inuit society and that most Inuit elders don’t seem to understand the concept. But he disagrees with his colleagues on a crucial point: he doesn’t think gay people choose to be so. That’s just the way they are, and they often suffer for it. “These people have suffered so much because they are a minority,” said Perreault, who is originally from Québec. “In the North, for example, an Inuk who is homosexual, it’s a source of pain because he cannot live freely his sexual identity, especially in the communities. “There is no way to express yourself. It’s a source of depression, they have problems with alcohol and drugs and yes, I am sure some commit suicide because of this. But even that, we cannot talk about it.” Nalligivagit: I love you Mike said it’s interesting to see religious leaders offering opinions on how Inuit should behave when Christianity itself is a southern import. But in this case, she would agree with Perreault: Inuit youth don’t need another reason to feel ostracized and unloved. Robbie Watt, a Nunavik Inuk now living in Montreal, says ultimately it doesn’t matter whether homosexuality is traditional or why it exists at all. There are gay people in all countries, from all cultures, and they deserve the same rights and freedoms as everyone else, he says. Watt launched the Lesbian Gay Bisexsual Transgender and Queer Community in the Arctic Facebook page March 6, the day Towtongie’s comments were made public. Though his father, Senator Charlie Watt, knew he was gay, Robbie said he’d never made his sexual orientation public out of respect for his father’s political position. When Robbie agreed to speak to media about his views, he took a deep breath and called his dad to warn him. The senator told him he loved him and that he respected him for standing up for what he believed. “I hung up the phone and I started to cry,” Robbie said. “For my dad to say that, it meant so much to me. I’m 46 years old and I feel like a little kid all over again.” And so it seems the ground continues to shift beneath this issue, sometimes with a crack, and sometimes a whisper. A few weeks after the media storm died down, Towtongie, Nowdlak’s boss, approached him at the NTI offices to say she was sorry, that she did not want to hurt him and that she wanted him to feel welcome at work. “I just said, it’s okay, Cathy. Nobody’s perfect. Life goes on and it’s in the past. She gave me a looooong hug after that,” he said, with a laugh. “And then we became friends on Facebook.”

Women’s Golf Sinks Stanford-Northwestern Football Tilt Chicago, Ill. September 3, 2015 — Saturday’s matchup between last year’s Pac-12 Northern Division runner-up Stanford and Northwestern has been canceled due to Stanford’s refusal to cross union picket lines that were established when the Northwestern Organization for Growth of Immense Revenues for Labor in Sports (NOGIRLS) voted to strike. In a complex chain of events, a Seventh Circuit federal judge ruled that under Title IX, NOGIRLS had no legal right to exclude women athletes and male participants in the so-called ‘minor’ or ‘Olympic’ sports from their union. Once admitted, the women and non-revenue athletes — who outnumber the football and men’s basketball athletes by more than two to one — began lobbying for fringe benefits equal to those afforded the revenue-producing athletes. “It’s all those damn liberals’ fault,” said a disdained Northwestern football player who chose to remain anonymous. “Everybody knows the damn judge has a daughter on the swim team up at Wisconsin, so it’s obvious that he’s just looking out for his own self interest. This is about money, and who the hell pays to watch college girls swim? That B.S. about the girls and the boys in the froo-froo sports being employees, too, is just that — B.S.” Things came to a head when, despite a unanimous “no” vote from the football players and alleged harassment from the football team and Chicago union strongmen, NOGIRLS voted to demand full access to the football operations center for all athletes. “This has put us in a really bad spot,” admitted newly-elected Northwestern University President Cotton Middler. “We’re just not in a position to resolve a conflict within NOGIRLS. I mean, it’s like having 500 teenage children. How can you win?” “A lot of the employee-athletes caved under the pressure, and it was really scary to vote in favor of the strike,” said Ima Putter, the captain of the Northwestern women’s golf team, who cast the deciding ballot. “But the truth is that the football players and the men’s basketball team have been getting all the goodies for years. We work just as hard as they do, and it’s time for us to cash in, too!” Kevin Cline David Show is happy to support all Stanford athletes. When the Northwestern football team voted unanimously to leave the union earlier this week, it appeared that Saturday’s game against Stanford was back on. But then the Stanford Union of College Kid Athletes (SUCKA) voted to support NOGIRLS by refusing to cross picket lines. “Of course we want to play the game,” said Stanford coach David Shaw, “but here at Stanford we’re proud of all of our sports programs. It’s no secret that Stanford has won the Director’s Cup for overall athletic excellence the past 524 years in a row, and since the average starting salary for a Stanford graduate fresh out of college is $576,743.19, our loyal alumni association can take care of all of our athletes. We can afford to miss this one game. What’s a few million, anyway?” A source at ESPN, which had television rights to the game, said that they are looking at the mess and trying to figure out who to sue. The ESPN spokesman said, “Obviously we’re out the money we would have made and we’re scrambling to try to keep our advertisers happy. We have a contract and the two teams are legally obligated to play. Our legal department is working on whether we have the best case against NOGIRLS for starting this mess in the first place, Northwestern University for failing to resolve its labor problems, SUCKA for refusing to play the game or Stanford University for supporting and seemingly encouraging the walkout. Hell, we just might sue ‘em all!” In a related story, employee-athletes at Florida State, the University of Miami (Florida), and the South East Conference Organization for Netting the Demands of College Unions Zealots (SECONDCUZ) have strike votes scheduled next week to overthrow the requirement that employee-athletes enroll in classes. They claim that obligatory class enrollment for athletes is discriminatory because it is not a general requirement for university employment.

27. I think the dynamic would change Currently, the President, and Democratic senators and reps from purple states can get away with murder: "sure, I voted for that bill to put toxic waste in school lunches, but if you don't vote for me you'll get the REPUBLICAN!!! BOOGA-BOOGA!!!" In my state, that can't happen. We normally have more Greens contesting state offices than Republicans. And the Republicans here suck, but they're not in the same league as purple- or red-state Republicans. So triangulation is much more difficult: put toxic waste in school lunches and you'e out.

Friday, May 4, 2018 Link List: Ferrero Rocher and Employment Discrimination The pretty backdrop at the Sezane store downtown. That intense period at work I mentioned has come to a close, at least for now, which I'm quite pleased about. K and I had both been busy at the office, so we haven't even had a chance to go see the new Avengers yet. We're big fans of both Star Wars and Marvel, and usually see just about every movie shortly after opening night. Hopefully we'll be able to see it soon! 1. // This Racked article regarding a lawsuit between the now-shuttered OCC Cosmetics brand and Sephora was an interesting look at what appears to be standard business practice when it comes to selling cosmetics. It wasn't something I'd ever thought about before, so the article was an interesting read. I had no idea that most brands are expected to pay for their own "fixtures", the shelving for their brand's products in each store. I'm a little less surprised that someone has to cover the cost of "gratis", or gifted items for sales associates so that they can promote the product, but I might have assumed that the retailer covered that. 2. // Does anyone else's family have a thing for buying boxes of Ferrero Rocher as host gifts or keeping it at home as special treats for house guests? It's kind of thing for some Taiwanese Americans, both as something we bring abroad to extended family and something that's frequently brought around as a host gift to other households. (From my time living in Hong Kong before law school, they seemed to like Ferrero Rocher the same way there too.) I had no idea this was something that was seen in other communities! 3. // This is probably one of the first times in recent memory where an associate (in this case three Jane Doe associates in a putative class action) sued their biglaw firm for employment discrimination. There have been a few cases with partners as plaintiffs, and many other cases are brought by staff attorneys or contract attorneys, who aren't on the ultra-standardized, ultra-transparent associate payscale that prevails in most biglaw offices in "major markets." Read the complaint here, if you're curious. 4. // I'm was glad to see that Engineer L is back! I'm always happy to see blogs I enjoy come back from a hiatus, if the person feels like it's right for them. (Like Adina a few months back.) For those who have ever thought about switching from an iPhone to a Google Pixel, Michelle's more recent outfit photos may be a compelling case for the quality of the Google Pixel's camera.

Thank you for your support! 5. // As you might have seen from my Instagram stories, I ended up picking up those Soludos llama slip-on sneakers in pink. They always get sold out fast, but I think they can still be pre-ordered at Revolve. That pretty, light, and floaty, but actually still kind of warm cashmere/silk-blend scarf I bought at Nordstrom last year is on sale in a few more colors, though sadly, I don't like any of these colors as much as the ones last time. I think my favorite is the pale blush-peach "pink tropics", but the full price "pink silver" shade is better. That particular Nordstrom scarf was definitely a better choice than the tissue-weight wool-cashmere one (also on sale, but again in odd colors) which is only about equally warm in my experience, but less pretty. Are employment discrimination lawsuits... common in your industry? I'd always gotten the sense that few biglaw associates would ever dare bring one. It'd quickly go public on Above the Law, (past cases generally didn't proceed with anonymous plaintiffs) and few people would want that kind of notoriety. It always felt to me like a very "you'll never work in this town again" situation. Plus, in my limited experience, most attorneys "know better" when it comes to saying things that could be obvious and direct evidence for an employment discrimination claim, so I'm a bit shocked by some of what is alleged in the Morrison and Foerster lawsuit. I'm not surprised that there is discrimination, I'm just surprised that some people seemed to have been pretty open about it.

Do you reminisce when board video games have been all of the wrath? The following joy board sport is just like the finest movie sport popping out subsequent week. I ponder whether that incorporates fuck-fest board video games. They're simply as favored. They usually're a lot more joy, don't you assume? Our scorching Queens, Taylor Razz and Rene, enjoy frolicking Jerkopoly. The twist off this sport is rock rigid pecker needs to be status at consideration within the heart of the board. The winner will get to drag at it and make it pour out in all places the board. Ahead of then, they’ve to flip the cube and select up a card, doing regardless of the card says. Rene has to place her stinkin’ soles at the folks face. Remarkably, he provides Rene a decent foot fetish, slurping and nibbling her soles. Taylor will get to torture his scrotum with a rock hard twist. Rene's subsequent card is making her marionette deep-throat and eat inbetween her ft, which he willingly does. Who will get to drench the rigid pecker with lubricant and put her forearm task ability to fine use? It’s a must to see.

French Montana is dialing up a fantastic foursome for one of the songs on his new album this fall. The track in question — “Gucci Mane” — will feature production from Kanye West and guest spots by Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Montana confirmed the information in an interview with Los Angeles’ Power 106. French, Ross and Wayne have previously teamed up for “Pop That” and “Marble Floors,” and the addition of Kanye in the production booth makes this a must-listen. West has been helping out with several tracks on Mac & Cheese 4, which is expected to drop in November. “I love it,” Montana told MTV in June. “We’ve been working on his album and mines, so we’re just going back and forth.” The 29-year-old Moroccan rapper was featured on a remix of Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot N---a” earlier this month. Our own Erika Benton-Martin broke down the song thusly: From Vine clips to YouTube and countless unofficial remixes to Drake using it to open the ESPYs, the track has pretty much become inescapable and French comes through with his signature swag and flow as a bonus. The Bad Boy rapper even shouted out Meek Mill and Max B. "Three bricks for a verse that's a swap n***a/Try my nigga Meek he on lock n***a/Try my nigga Max he in a box n***a/Pull up la marina in a yacht n***a," he rapped. French also got girlfriend Khloe Kardashian to star in his “Don’t Panic” video, which dropped roughly a week ago. Their relationship has been under fire recently for allegedly being a PR stunt. "People are gonna comment no matter what,” Kardashian said. “If I dated the most clean-cut perfect guy, they're gonna comment. That's just the way it is. If I'm having fun and if I like this kid, no one else should care, they're not f---ing him."

The Fly: “It’s flawed, but it’s charming” – an interview with of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes For his band’s new album, ‘Lousy With Sylvianbriar’, of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes chose to immerse himself in the work of Sylvia Plath. It’s a weirdly appropriate pairing; the two united by their confessional mode of writing, full of strange allusions and motifs of enigmatic violence. And, lest we forget, Barnes — purveyor of a brilliantly oddball brand of experimental, verbose and sexually charged pop — has chosen a writer who, over time, has become a sort of poster-girl for mental illness. It’s a plight that Barnes would no doubt find familiar: ever since 2007’s ‘Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?’, the frontman’s rambling, frayed, phantasmagorical songs with his band have suggested a man trying to pick up the pieces from a long spell in the grip of depression. “With Sylvia [Plath] the writings I really connect to are the personal ones,” says Barnes, who adopted her use of ‘lousy’ to mean ‘full’ for the new record’s title. “To a certain degree the lyrics I write are very personal, but I’m not necessarily speaking to anyone. As a songwriter you write something about a certain person and you write it for them. “But it’s also shrouded in allusions and whatever else. I want the lyrics to feel raw and personal and unpredictable — something only I can make, so I have my own style.” Barnes’ ‘own style’ is a slippery beast; one that vacillates between gaudy and bright to decidedly dark, shrouding mental torment, fury and anxiety in abstract and complex lyrics. But on the new record, this vision has changed significantly. Since 2004’s ‘Satanic Panic In The Attic’, Barnes has mostly written and played all elements of his recorded output, with some songs using upwards of 200 tracks. Now, however, some of this scrupulous control has been relinquished to other musicians, though not those who will be familiar to the band’s fans from live shows. “[My band] have dedicated so much of their time and their life to helping me realise my vision,” says Barnes. “Some of them I’d played with for 10 years, so there’s a lot of baggage with that, and they helped me so much, so I felt really guilty about finding new people. ‘[The former band] are still my friends and I still love them but when you have a specific vision — a new spark or thing that you want to pursue that will only work with a certain type of players, then you have to get those kind of players.” The new of Montreal line-up comprises Rebecca Cash on vocals; Clayton Rychlik on drums and vocals; Jojo Glidewell, the band’s former guitar tech on keys, Bob Parins on pedal steel and bass and Bennet Lewis on guitars and mandolin. Georgia-based singer Cash is girlishly pretty — at times giggly, at times smouldering — and was drafted in through Barnes’s artist wife Nina, who had spotted her at a performance and deemed her perfect for the plaintive, pathos-laden vocals on ‘Feminine Effects’, released on last year’s ‘Daughter Of Cloud’ compilation. Speaking with them before we meet Barnes, there’s a sweet yet enigmatic chemistry between the trio — protective and caring, yet also strangely charged. As well as the changes in personnel, the new record has also marked a huge departure in sound and the recording process, eschewing digital for painstaking analogue. Following a period Barnes describes as “a self-imposed isolation experiment” in San Francisco, he set about writing songs inspired by the West Coast’s canonical 60s and 70s artists, such as Gram Parsons, The Grateful Dead and Neil Young, as well as John Lennon’s 1973 album ‘Mind Games’. The ideas were laid down back at his home studio on a 24-track tape machine. Only 23 tracks were used, however. “One of our channels was broken,” Barnes reveals, adding that the limitations of analogue were “really liberating, in a strange way.” “I sort of got sick of the computer, the computer does so much work for you,” he says. “I wanted to make a record where human beings are playing instruments and singing in microphones and you’re not changing it very much so it feels very direct.” ‘You’re capturing a moment in time with these musicians, these collaborators. I didn’t want it to be super ornamental; I wanted the vocals to be on top and the lyrics to be the main focus.” It’s been suggested that the two tracks that offer the most helpful anchors to the new record are the intimate, raw and occasionally frightening ‘Colossus’, a title borrowed from a Plath poem, (“Your mother hung herself in the national theatre, when she was four months pregnant with your sister” – a Plathian intimation, if ever there were one), and ‘Raindrop In My Skull’ (“My guitar feels strange in my hands, I have almost no tucked up perceptions”). The record’s new trajectory, then, has foregone none of the of Montreal pathos, the bitterness, the heavy-lidded, imaginative nihilism. The familiar paranoia and weird sexuality are all present, played out with the “asthmatic energy” Barnes spoke of with regard to last year’s ‘Paralytic Stalks’, yet tempered with a distance suggesting that perhaps destructiveness is giving way to a new clarity. Barnes is gentle but intense, with calm brown eyes that are at odds with his rapid-fire speech. Dressed more conservatively than perhaps we’re used to in a buttoned up shirt and grey trousers, he cuts a diminutive, charming character; one soon to be uncovered further with the release of the enthusiastically crowd-funded band documentary, ‘Song Dynasties’. But what is it that makes people so loyal to the of Montreal vision? “I don’t really know, but I’m happy because it’s like my main focus in life,” muses Barnes. “Maybe if I had to make a guess it’s the DIY nature of everything we do — people can connect with that, it’s very human.”

The intensive development of the cryptoeconomy opened up a wide set of options for new types of investments. The acquisition of cryptocurrencies and tokens of ICO projects have become a substantial alternative to traditional investment options. The prospect of the given direction lies in a rapid tokenization of different assets in different sectors of the economy. Implementation of blockchain technology will change the investment environment forever and will allow purchasing of almost all types of existing assets in digital format. Currently, certain amounts of crypto funds are formed, offering crypto-asset portfolios and their numbers keep growing. Accordingly, new branches require formation of support tools. These will provide the help that makes it possible to facilitate interaction between market participants and then guide them to a new level. Recently, in an interview with Yahoo Finance, a known investor-billionaire Warren Buffet expressed his opinion regarding financial investments into cryptocurrency: You aren’t investing when you do that. You’re speculating. There’s nothing wrong with it. If you wanna gamble somebody else will come along and pay more money tomorrow, that’s one kind of game. That is not investing. Buffet’s position, who made his fortune with the help of traditional financial tools, is understandable. Indeed, the crypto industry is a branch that needs to win the trust among ordinary investors. Nevertheless, crypto technologies, namely, blockchain and smart-contracts can be used for the creation of platforms which provide full transparency of financial operations, which is particularly relevant for any type of investment. That way, the crypto industry can get ahead of the traditional investment market, as it gives access to the financial sector to anyone willing to become a player in the market. Projects such as Blackmoon, Nousplatform, ICONOMI, and Melonport are on their way to improve the current investment environment. Their activities are aimed at the creation of a functional ecosystem for interaction between crypto-funds and investors. It should be noted, that the results of their work are already visible for the cryptocommunity to see for themselves. Key development of Melonport project is Melon protocol, which provides digital asset management, transparent operation history and ability to invest in a fund. There is also a built-in tool, Oyente, that is used for smart-contract analysis and will be responsible for the security of users. Project developers are actively conducting comprehensive system updates thus keeping the attention of the crypto community and market capitalization around $ 44,995,699. Gavin Wood, who was involved in the development of Ethereum and the owner of Ethcore provides support to Melonport, insisting that the system and the concept developed by the team is a significant step in the development of the crypto fund market. However, according to the roadmap, the full realization of the project should be expected only in the 1st quarter of 2019. At the moment, Melonport’s team is still engaged in the development of UI and underlying smart-contracts. Founders of the Blackmoon platform — ex-Vice President of VKontakte, Ilya Perekopsky and ex-manager of Flint Capital fund, Oleg Seydak stated, that they intend to “create a bridge between the world of real investments and a crypto-universe”. When creating a fund on the Blackmoon platform, the user has the feasibility of attracting investments, the investor, in turn, has a list of promising fiat and cryptocurrency projects to choose from and work with. Blackmoon is known for tokenizing usual investment tools, however, ways of tokenizing the assets are not yet provided on the platform. Therefore, the promised “bridge” is only a “bridge” in a long run. The ICONOMI team, previously famous for creating a popular crypto exchange, managed to attract $ 6 million in a span of 1 month during the ICO. At ICONOMI the comfortable investment conditions are provided by three tools: Index Fund, Performance Fund, and Open Fund Management. They open up access to fund analysis, allowing them to make well-informed investment decisions, creating their own funds. And although ICONOMI does not offer the tokenization of assets and does not accept investments in fiat, the system is still very popular and right now its market capitalization is $ 154,183,393 USD. Of all the above mentioned projects, according to several ICO-analysts, Nousplatform has all the chances to become one of the most successful service-providers, since only on this platform it’s possible to create different types of funds, tokenize assets and offer them as fund shares, as well as choosing the best funds from a rating built by a special algorithm. According to the project’s concept, access to managed crypto-assets will be provided to investors with any level of seed capital and all kinds of manipulations would be excluded owing to blockchain technology and smart-contracts. Such an approach towards the creation of decentralized funds based on blockchain technology managed to gain favor among blockchain-evangelists and crypto-investors. It is worth emphasizing that Nousplatform simplifies the process of investment decision-making. This becomes possible through the creation of rating and presentation of unified financial data for investment analysis of each fund on the platform. The first position on the rating will be taken by funds, which combine maximum profitability, minimum risks, and a positive capitalization growth. The Nousplatform project enters the industry later than its predecessors, but has helped the team to integrate their experiences and mistakes, coming up with a better-evolved platform. Having assessed the functionality of the platform, you can immediately notice what solutions that the other projects were missing. Investors who were not quick enough to take part in ICO Blackmoon, ICONOMI or Melonport, now have a chance to purchase Nousplatform project tokens on favorable terms. According to the information on the official website, the pre-ICO stage will be launched on May 20th. The first tokenized funds of partner-companies will be presented at Nousplatform during the early stages of its launch. At present, the project successfully completed the closed pre-sale stage in which the project managed to gather $ 550,000. Funds received are aimed at providing further development and scaling of Nousplatform. In the project’s roadmap, the team promises to release a beta version of the platform before the ICO. We recommend you keep a close look on Nousplatform, because, if the task is completed, it can be safely said that it will create a massive influx of tokens for investors, which means that the demand will significantly outpace the supply.

Round-the-Clock Purple and Gold Andrew Bynum shows off post work against the Clippers Each time Andrew Bynum caught an entry pass in the lane, the same outcome happened. He posted up against Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, threw him off balance through footwork and his physical 7-foot frame and then drove past him for an easy bucket. The Lakers' 108-103 preseason loss Wednesday to the Clippers brings more concern on the severity of Kobe Bryant's torn ligament in his right wrist, the team's inconsistent defense and whether its roster can find some continuity. But for Bynum, it showed how much he's grown as a post player, as he racked up 26 points on 11 of 25 shooting and 11 rebounds. He might as well enjoy it now, because on Sunday, Christmas Day, Bynum will begin serving a five-game suspension for last season's forearm shove of Dallas guard J.J. Barea. "It's going to be hard to have five games off," Bynum said. But after he spends those days keeping himself occupied with off-court workouts, it's safe to presume he'll carry the same efficiency in the post. Bynum's conditioning may still need work. He admitted as much when he said, "I'm still pretty tired." As far as his post moves, however, he's got it nailed down pretty well. "Combine all those things and you have a guy who can go get it," said Lakers Coach Mike Brown. "Opposing centers are going to have to play."

Contrary to fathers' rights propaganda, father perpetrators (along with stepdads and caretaker boyfrends) dominate the most vicious crimes against children: sexual assault, abusive head trauma, murder-suicides, crimes involving gun violence, and other similar forms of physically violent/fatal child abuse. And as more dads are providing child care (either because mom is working and can't find other care, or because dads are increasingly getting unsupervised visitation/custody through the family courts), more dads are are being found guilty of basic child abuse and neglect as well. 10/25/15 -Because of severe time constraints, we are no longer able to do regular updates at Dastardly Dads. We will occasionally post articles on general studies on child abuse/domestic violence, news pieces involving abusive fathers in custody/visitation situations. We wil also be updating the Killer Dads and Custody lists, while looking for a better, more accessible platform for the data. 7/11/16 - We started this blog on June 24, 2009--just over seven years. And like all good things, it's time to bring this project to a close. It has served its purpose. We have close to 10,500 postings regarding fathers and child abuse, with hundred of those cases being enabled by the family courts, social services, and others in authority. The documentation is clear. It is now time to stop documenting and put that energy into changing the situation that puts thousands of mothers and children at risk every day. Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Dad stabs to death three children after Mom ends relationship with him (United Kingdom) CERI FULLER is your typical revenge-and-control killer dad. All the attempts to blame Mom are silly, but the media still does it. These morons are threatened by virtually everyone and everything. You can't make them happy. Ceri Fuller, 35, is believed to have stabbed his 12-year-old son Samuel and daughters Rebecca, eight and Charlotte, seven, with a hunting knife, before killing himself. All four bodies were found at the bottom of a disused quarry in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, on July 16 last year. The children had been slashed in the neck, and Samuel and Rebecca are believed to have tried to defend themselves. An inquest into their deaths heard Mrs Fuller told her sister Joanna Ballard that her and her husband had agreed to split up before he disappeared with their three children from their home in Milkwall, Gloucestershire, and that he had “understood” the split. The 34-year-old also admitted to having a ‘schoolgirl’ crush on her Open University lecturer Mark Lindley-Highfield, and had posted a message on Facebook days before the bodies were found referring to a ‘bonkers midlife crisis.’ The inquest heard after Mrs Fuller was taken into hospital before the bodies were found she told her sister: “I think that Ceri killed Rebecca.” Mrs Ballard said her sister had admitted a small crush on Mr Lindley-Highfield, but said this was just a "schoolgirl" crush and she had no plans to take it further. The children and their father were reported missing on July 12 last year after he had failed to turn up for work at a paper mill and the children had not been seen at school. Their bodies were found four days later at Poles Coppice in Pontesbury Hill, near Shrewsbury. The inquest heard Mrs Ballard had been called to her sister’s home at about 6.30pm on July 12 and had been told she had tried to kill herself. She said when she arrived no one knew where Mr Fuller and the three children were. She said: "I looked through Ruth's phone and saw only loving texts between Ruth and Ceri even into Wednesday morning. "I saw a text from her to Mark, her university lecturer, asking him out for a drink and another saying it was meant for Ceri. "Ruth had told me she had a crush on Mark before. But she saw it as a schoolgirl crush and wasn't taking it further. "Before we went to hospital I asked her where Ceri and the children where and where but she just looked at me blankly and said 'mmm-hmmm'.” Mrs Fuller was taken to hospital in Gloucester at about 10.30pm where she told her sister that she and her husband were splitting up and that he “understood”. But in the early hours of July 13 Mrs Ballard said her sister looked into her eyes and told her “I think that Ceri killed Rebecca.” Mrs Ballard told the court that there was nothing to suggest her sister had started a relationship with her humanities lecturer. She described the pair as a loving couple but said Mr Fuller could be possessive. She said: "In my opinion yes, it was more possessive than I would be comfortable with in a relationship. "It seemed to me that he seemed uncomfortable with Ruth wanting anything that wasn't being a mum." The inquest heard Mrs Fuller and Mr Lindley-Highfield exchanged a string of text messages between July 11 and 12 last year. In one of the messages Mrs Fuller referred to a mid-life crisis and Mr Lindley-Highfield responded reminding her of the boundaries between a tutor and student. Mrs Fuller had started a humanities course in January last year, which included tutoring sessions with Mr Lindley-Highfield held at Cheltenham College.

Q: Uniform convergence of $f_n\rightarrow f$ and limit of zeroes to $f_n$ I'm having some doubts on a homework question: Let $f_n\rightarrow f$ uniformly on compact subsets of an open connected set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$, where $f_n$ is analytic, and $f$ is not identically equal to zero. (a) Show that if $f(w)=0$ then we can write $w=\lim z_n$, where $f_n(z_n)=0$ for all $n$ sufficiently large. (b) Does this result hold if we only assume $\Omega$ to be open? I'm not too sure how to do (a)-- I think I might be able to do it just by using the definition of uniform convergence and the fact that $f_n$ has a zero at $z_n$, but this doesn't use the assumption that $f_n$ is analytic or that $\Omega$ is connected. I'm also guessing that the result doesn't hold if we only assume $\Omega$ to be open and not connected for obvious topological reasons, but not knowing exactly how to do (a), I'm not sure if I know how to prove this. Could anyone give me some pointers? Thanks in advance. A: Take a small circle around $w$. Then by Rouché's theorem $f_n$ has a zero $z_n$ inside the circle for $n$ large enough (and maybe several if $w$ is a multiple zero of $f$). Now shrink the circle and repeat: you will obtain the convergent sequence $(z_n)$. By the way, this sketch of proof shows why we must assume that $f$ is not identically zero near $w$: if $f\equiv 0$ just take $f_n=\frac {1}{n}$ (which has no zero at all!) to get a counter-example.

President Trump continued lashing out Wednesday against famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward’s new bombshell book, calling it a work of fiction and suggesting that Congress change US libel laws. “Isn’t it a shame that someone can write an article or book, totally make up stories and form a picture of a person that is literally the exact opposite of the fact, and get away with it without retribution or cost,” the president tweeted. “Don’t know why Washington politicians don’t change libel laws?” he added, a day after explosive excerpts from “Fear: Trump in the White House” were released by several news outlets. But the president is at a disadvantage in his ability to fight back because most of Woodward’s interviews were caught on hundreds of hours of tape, officials told Axios. In the damning tell-all, which comes out Tuesday, current and former White House aides painted a scathing picture of Trump — calling him “unhinged, an “idiot” and a “liar” and describing him as a thoroughly inept and unfit commander-in-chief. The White House responded to the tome by calling it “nothing more than fabricated stories, many by former disgruntled employees, told to make the President look bad.” Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement that “sometimes it is unconventional,” but that Trump “always gets results.” Sanders also made the media rounds Wednesday, including on ABC News, where she said that Trump would not be as successful as he’s been as president if Woodward’s account were true. “The president laid out an agenda very clearly during the campaign, and since day one of taking office he’s delivering on that agenda every single day. You can’t have the type of success that this president has had if what that book says is true,” she said. Sanders added that even though Woodward says he has hundreds of hours of tape to back up the claims in his book, they are off-the-record accounts from “disgruntled former employees.” She noted that while attacks on the president were made anonymously, the denials of those remarks were made on the record by “American heroes” — White House chief of staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. “It’s clear that you have the accounts from people firsthand … and they’re on the record, which is very different than what this book is filled with,” Sanders told Fox News in a separate interview. The president reacted in similar fashion in January to journalist Michael Wolff’s book, “Fire and Fury,” which questioned his mental fitness to occupy the White House. “Our current libel laws are a sham and a disgrace and do not represent American values or American fairness, so we’re going to take a strong look at that,” he told reporters at the time as he met members of his cabinet. “We are going to take a strong look at our country’s libel laws so that when somebody says something that is false and defamatory about someone, that person will have meaningful recourse in our courts,” Trump said. “You can’t say things that are false, knowingly false, and be able to smile as money pours into your bank account,” he added. In February 2016, Trump also took aim at libel laws during a rally in Texas. “One of the things I’m going to do if I win, and I hope we do and we’re certainly leading — I’m going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money,” he said in Forth Worth. Under the law — largely determined at the state, not federal level — public figures can win libel suits only if they can prove the information was published with actual malice, knowing it to be wholly incorrect, as well as in cases of reckless disregard.

Kuk Sul Do Kuk Sul Do® is a traditional Korean martial arts style founded and trademarked by Grandmaster Choon Sik Yang (양, 춘식). The name "Kuk Sul Do" translates to "National Korean Martial Art." Kuk Sul Do® is rooted in numerous aspects of traditional Korean martial arts and is based upon of several historical Korean martial art styles. Kuk Sul Do® and the Yang's Kuk Sul Do Federation® were founded by Grandmaster Yang to preserve traditions and movements that are thousands of years old. Because of Kuk Sul Do's beginning, it is a well-rounded traditional style that doesn't necessarily have any specific weaknesses and encompasses a large amount of material and tradition. There are many other styles of Korean martial arts, such as Taekwondo, and Hapkido. Kuk Sol Do® is unique in its combination of practical skills and limited number of practitioners: only schools and instructors personally endorsed by Grandmaster Yang are permitted to bear the name of Kuk Sul Do®. History of Korean martial arts Early history Most of what is modern day Kuk Sul developed from three main places: Korean tribesman out of instinct, guards and members of the Royal Court, and traveling monks that journeyed into, out of and through Korea. Lifestyles of various types emerged from all over the country, many of which persevered up until Japan's attack and eventual annexation of Korea in 1910. Some of these skills include, but are not limited to: Kung Sa/궁사 – Archery Kum Sul bub/검술법 – Swordsmanship KukKi HapKiDo/국기 합기도 – Korean hapkido (versus Japanese aikido, as both use the same Asian characters: 合氣道) HoSinSool/호신술 – Body protection techniques (not just self defense but skills such as breakfalls, etc.) TangSooDo/당수도 – Unarmed combat HwaRangKumSul/화랑검술 – Sword techniques of the Hwarang warriors of Silla Ji leu ki bub/지르기법 – Strikes and Kicks Su young bub/수영법 – Swimming and combat in water Jung chi, ko jun/정치, 고전 – Politics and Classical Literature Tu ho/투호 – Throws Tae Kyun/태껸 – Kicks Mok bong/목봉 – Wooden pole fighting Su Sul/수술 – Hand to hand fighting Jong da bub/종다법 – Defense against attack from multiple attackers Bul bub/불법 – Buddhist sutra After the Japanese annexation, many of Korean's traditions were banned and replaced with those of Japan's, martial arts included. Masters of many different Korean styles convened to keep the heart of her martial traditions alive, and put together what they determined to be the best representation of what could be called a "National Korean Martial Art" (Hankuk Musul/한국무술, or KukSul/국술 for short). Modern History In the late 1970s, Grandmaster Yang and other Korean masters came to the United States as part of a demonstration team. During this time period, additional Korean masters also migrated to the United States, and also began teaching their own traditional martial arts. As a specific martial arts style, Kuk Sul Do® was founded by Grandmaster Yang, although the traditional arts taught within Kuk Sul Do® are, in some extent, shared with other traditional disciplines. As a martial arts style, Kuk Sul Do® is trademarked within the United States, and very few schools are personally endorsed by Grandmaster Yang. For many years, Kuk Sul Do® was concentrated in California; however, there are also endorsed schools in Ohio. Grandmaster Yang has spent over fifty over years training and instructing, and still holds seminars within Kuk Sul Do® schools all over the nation and in Korea, as well as the rest of the world.

Getty Images As the Giants continue to try to find weapons to complement Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr., they could be reuniting with a guy who once was the team’s No. 1 wideout. Per a league source, the Giants will work out Hakeem Nicks on Tuesday. According to Josina Anderson of ESPN, Nicks will be joined by former Dolphins, Patriots, and Broncos receiver Wes Welker, who became a free agent in March and who has received scant interest. Some would say the Giants owe Welker a job, if not a ring, for his key late-game drop in Super Bowl XLVI. Others would say that Tom Brady owes Welker even more for accepting the blame for what was a bad throw. Nicks’ career has sputtered since leaving the Giants in 2014. He landed with the Colts for a year, and he was cut by the Titans before the regular season began.

BostonBruins.com -- Today, the National Hockey League's Board of Governors ratified the terms of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement with the National Hockey League Players' Association. Owner and Governor of the Boston Bruins, Jeremy Jacobs, the Chairman of the NHL Board of Governors spoke about the ratification. "On behalf of the National Hockey League's Board of Governors, I am pleased to report that today we unanimously voted to ratify a new Collective Bargaining Agreement with the National Hockey League Players' Association," said Jacobs to the gathered press in New York City. "Which means, to our fans all around the globe, hockey is back." Details of the new Agreement won't be made available until the completion of the formal ratification process by the members of the NHLPA, but that process remains the lone speed bump preceding training camps to open the 2012-13 campaign. "This great game has been gone for far too long, and for that we are truly sorry," continued Jacobs. "The Board today also expressed its appreciation for the professionalism and commitment, to our clubs and to the sport, that Commissioner Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Daly displayed throughout this difficult period. "Gary, Bill and their staff worked tirelessly from long before the lockout began in an effort to reach a constructive conclusion. "Gary and Bill have the complete and unconditional support of the Board – and our gratitude." Jacobs also expressed thanks to the NHL's players. "As our League moves toward what we know will be a period of growth for the sport, and a time of great excitement and entertainment for our fans, I would add the appreciation of the Board for the dedication the players showed during the negotiating process – and for their role in securing an agreement that will move the National Hockey League forward in the years ahead," said Jacobs. "There’s no doubt we all love this game. "Together our collective future is extremely bright. "Our only interest now is to look ahead and to focus on what this great game can provide to the best sports fans in the world," he said.

Press Releases Jul312014 “I was briefed Tuesday by CIA Inspector General David Buckley on the results of an IG investigation. The investigation confirmed what I said on the Senate floor in March—CIA personnel inappropriately searched Senate Intelligence Committee computers in violation of an agreement we had reached, and I believe in violation of the constitutional separation of powers. “Director Brennan apologized for these actions and submitted the IG report to an accountability board. These are positive first steps. This IG report corrects the record and it is my understanding that a declassified report will be made available to the public shortly.”

Q: measure various phases of code execution Is there a way to measure the average time it takes my code to run and each frame to render for my Flex app? More specifically, I know how to use getTimer() but I'm not sure about which events I should listen to in order to do this. I was reading this post and am not sure how you'd figure out how long the actual rendering took (it would seem like it may be the time between the RENDER event fires and the next ENTER_FRAME event fires, but I'm not sure). Also, not exactly sure where the user code happens, or whether I should care about EXIT_FRAME and FRAME_CONSTRUCTED. Any help much appreciated! EDIT ---- here's a snippet of code showing the main events for each repetition of the second frame in a super simple flex app. What I'm trying to figure out is whether there is a clear relationship between the "user code" and "rendering" parts of the classic Flex racetrack and the intervals between the four main signals that I'm tracing from. The code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600"> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.utils.getTimer; public var t:Timer; protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { t = new Timer(40, 50); t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handleTimeTick); t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerDone); addEventListener(Event.RENDER, application1_renderHandler); addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, application1_enterFrameHandler); addEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME, application1_exitFrameHandler); addEventListener(Event.FRAME_CONSTRUCTED, application1_frameConstructedHandler); t.start(); } protected function handleTimeTick(e:TimerEvent):void { shape.x += 5; } protected function timerDone(e:TimerEvent):void { t.stop(); t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, handleTimeTick); t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, timerDone); removeEventListener(Event.RENDER, application1_renderHandler); removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, application1_enterFrameHandler); removeEventListener(Event.EXIT_FRAME, application1_exitFrameHandler); removeEventListener(Event.FRAME_CONSTRUCTED, application1_frameConstructedHandler); } protected function application1_renderHandler(event:Event):void { trace("render fire", getTimer()); } protected function application1_enterFrameHandler(event:Event):void { trace("enter frame fire", getTimer()); } protected function application1_exitFrameHandler(event:Event):void { trace("exit frame fire", getTimer()); } protected function application1_frameConstructedHandler(event:Event):void { trace("frame constructed fire", getTimer()); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:Rect id="shape" x="0" y="0" height="20" width="20"> <s:fill> <s:SolidColor color="0xff0000"/> </s:fill> </s:Rect> <s:Button x="10" y="100" click="button1_clickHandler(event)" label="go"/> </s:Application> A: Ok, after reading plenty around the web I think this presentation gives the best info about how to measure elastic race track times (see for instance this piece of code from the presentation).

Occasionally at work the conversation turns to gun control and how the States is in such a sad state of affairs. I turn the conversation to the gun registry in short order. It hits home because they are hunters and actually have guns but think the Americans are cavemen. So, I educate them on the reasons the Liberals knee jerked themselves into it after Ecole Polytechnique and usually lead with the four million price tag that became four billion. Then I finish with the true identity of the shooter and the cowards who left those girls to die. And that several of those cowards killed themselves later.

6 July, 2016. 16:45 ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact AS AUSTRALIA’S FAVOURITE SON in the upper house prepares to leave Canberra after failing to be reelected, Ricky Muir has revealed plans to “hang the arse out” around a Canberra roundabout one last time. The 35-year-old is well known around the bush capital for being a bit of a mad dog behind the wheel, with nearly all of the black snakes around town being attributed to the motoring enthusiast. “It’s how I blow off steam,” he said. “Get in the car and find a roundabout to slide around on. Hang me bum out and give ‘er a boot full, mate. That’s what I do,” “Once Bill Heffernan and I got a few in us and went and keybanged the bitch out the front of the US Embassy. That nearly got us bloody shot. Anyway, good memories but.” The Canberranese townsfolk will miss the cries of “Send it, Ricky!” and “Giv’ ‘er some gas, moite” that usually accompany the retiring senator as he heads out for an evening hoon. Brett Shenal operates the Bob Jane T-Mart in the northern suburb of Lyneham and he says he’ll miss seeing Ricky around town – but he’ll especially miss him spending upwards of $470 a day on tyres. “He’d be every four or five days, usually,” he said. “The rear tyres would be balder than those on a Bangkok tuk-tuk.” From all of us here at The Betoota Advocate, we wish you the best of luck in your life after politics and thank you for your service to the country. Below is Ricky Muir’s inaugural peel out around a Morshed Dr roundabout near Duntroon from 2012.

Recently, I saw a documentary about Japanese scientist Dr. Kubodera filmed the first video of the giant squid, 9 meters in length. 40 years of research and diving, and that is result. Awesome! But at the end of the movie I heard the words "the giant squid - the last mystery of the deep". And then I thought, that there is no thirst of knowledge, no stimulus for imagination and aspirations without mysteries. And the picture had appeared in my head. Where human celebrates another victory, the last secret has been revealed, the last triumph, the moment before greatest devastation.I'm not saying that we should not search and learn. I really liked the movie about the squid, Dr. Kubodera - well done! It's just thought. Just live in a world without mysteries would be very boring.WOW! Many thanks to and for featuring my painting to DD! I really appreciate it!

SUMMARY: Goku gets really tired of Hazel trying to seduce Sanzo, and decides to show him a thing or two. Trouble is…Hazel actually likes it. Second in the series of crackfics for my challenge. This one is for my Windy. DISCLAIMER: I own not Saiyuki. Minekura-sensei doth own it. I just borrow. ----- "I really, really don't like that guy," Goku muttered under his breath, watching Hazel do his best to make an impression on Sanzo. The Bishop was forever trying to get the priest's attention, to the point that it was almost sickening. And it rubbed Goku the wrong way. He could feel his blood thrumming in his veins at the show before him. "Now, Goku, you know he's harmless. Sanzo doesn't pay him any mind." Hakkai put down his bag in the back of the jeep, not really paying him much attention. He was too busy making sure that they were well-stocked for the next day's journey. It would be nearly three days before they would reach another town with suitable supplies, so they needed to be ready. Deep down, Goku knew Hakkai was right. Still, it bugged him to no end that Sanzo didn't vehemently reject Hazel's advances like he did any one else. In fact, it seemed that most times he let the touches slide, just like he did with Goku's own. At that thought, Goku could feel the jealousy bubbling up inside his chest and he had to resist the urge to walk over to knock the Bishop's lights out. "Fucking bastard." His mumbled words drew Hakkai's attention back to him, offering a grin to dissuade the man from asking questions. "You're probably right, Hakkai. Maybe I'm just overreacting." "Aww…is the bean monkey jealous that Hazel's muscling in his territory? Maybe you should go over there and show that fruitcake who's boss, eh?" Gojyo taunted as he came around the corner with more shopping bags. It amused him how flustered and angry Goku got when it came to the Western man, so it was his duty to rile the monkey up as much as possible. However, neither man missed the almost predatory gleam that sparkled in Goku's large eyes. Gojyo hadn't meant for that to happen. "Hey monkey…I was kidding. Don't get yourself all in a tizzy about it." Goku didn't respond at first, before a rough shake of his shoulder from the redhead jolted him back to reality. He blinked once, his eyes refocusing. "What? Oh, yeah. I know." With one last glance towards where Sanzo and Hazel were standing, he turned and started heading in the other direction. "I'm going for a walk…I'll see you guys later." He didn't wait for a response from either of them as he walked back into the town with his hands shoved into his pockets. His thoughts were racing around, but there was one that kept surfacing no matter what he did. He was going to show Hazel. Once and for all. ----- Night had fallen by the time Goku returned, earning him a familiar smack from the monk with the fan and a gentle admonishment from Hakkai. Only Gojyo noticed the disheveled appearance and the determination alight in Goku's eyes. He found himself thanking his lucky stars that it wasn't him after Sanzo. The way Goku looked right now was a little too close to his alter-ego, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't any of his business. "Did you have a nice walk?" he asked casually. He had to suppress a shudder when Goku turned to him with that strange look in his eyes. "Went to train. Felt nice to stretch my muscles, you know?" Goku answered vaguely, rolling his head on his shoulders and stretching languidly to emphasize. He smirked when he noticed the monk looking at him, even more pleased when he saw Hazel shift a little nervously. Good. He ate quickly, not bothering to partake in in the usual banter with Gojyo and chose instead to turn his attention to Hazel. "Well, isn't that nice? It seems to be a mighty fine night to do some trainin', Mister Goku." Hazel tipped his wine glass back, that infuriating smirk of his planted firmly on his face. It just made Goku want to hit him even more. "Such stamina." Goku tried not to show the frustration he was feeling on his face, choosing instead to fold his hands on the table and continue to stare at the other man. He could feel two other pairs of eyes on him and when they shifted to Hazel. He supposed it was like watching a sparring match, the tiniest of smirks arching his lips upward. "Yeah, I guess. Well…I think I'm going to turn in. I'll see you guys in the morning." Without another word, he got up from the table and left the restaurant. Now, it was time to wait. ----- He waited until he saw the three other party members leave, his blood boiling when he noticed Hazel dogging Sanzo again. He clenched his fist, waiting until he saw the others and Gat disappear into the inn. Just as Hazel was about to follow behind, Goku sprang from the tree and grabbed him, pinning him to the wall. He smirked at the hiss of breath that escaped the Bishop before planting a hand firmly around the silver-haired man's neck. "Hey there, Hazel." He knew this was terribly out of character for him, but he'd had enough. Hazel's eyes widened fractionally, but the man didn't fight the grip the small demon had on him. "Now, why are you behavin' like this? Mighty troublin' to see you in such a state, Mister Goku," he drawled, smirking slightly. It faltered when he saw those golden eyes waver, slit for a split second before returning to normal. Goku pushed back, hard enough to knock Hazel's head against the wall. The sound was satisfying, pressing the line of his body against the other's. "You need to leave Sanzo the fuck alone." He growled at the memory of Hazel touching Sanzo earlier, tightening his grip to show he meant business. "I don't know who you think you are, but it better stop." A frown replaced the smirk, hands grabbing the wrist that held him so tightly. "Now see here, I don't have the slightest idea what you're talkin' about, young'un. I simply enjoy Mister Sanzo's company is all. I think you've got the wrong idea about me." He didn't want to admit that a thrill ran through him at the look his words produced. Blunt nails digging into the flesh of his neck reminded him of the position he was in. He thought about calling Gat to get this beast off of him, but his throat wouldn't cooperate. Another growl escaped Goku's lips, a hand trailing up Hazel's chest just hard enough to hurt. "It's obvious you like Sanzo, but he's mine. You'd better keep your filthy hands off of him. No one touches Sanzo," the boy purred dangerously. Hazel couldn't help the buck of his hips at that, eyes widening further when he realized that he was enjoying what the boy was doing to him. "Who says Sanzo's yours? I certainly don't see your name on him anyplace." The grip on his throat tightened, another hiss escaping him. Wow this kid was strong. Goku growled again, baring his teeth as he pressed harder into the man. He hated that Hazel was right, that Sanzo wasn't officially his, but damn it if he was going to let someone else have him. "We'll see about that." Leaning closer to Hazel, he whispered, "Tell you what…you get through me, and you can have Sanzo. Deal?" He flicked his tongue out, dragging it along the shell of Hazel's ear and relishing in the shudder it produced. He had to admit that it was heady, dominating the supposed holy man like this. Hazel had to bite back the moan the touch produced, his body trembling as Goku's words sunk in. If he just endured this, Sanzo would be his. He couldn't very well pass up an offer like that and it wasn't like the boy's touch was unpleasant. Far from it, actually. All he had to do was close his eyes and pretend it was the gorgeous blond priest who was touching him and he'd be okay. "You got yourself a deal, young'un." No sooner did the words leave his lips that he felt Goku flush against him, their bodies melding together. Surprising them both, Goku pressed his lips hungrily against Hazel's, hard enough to bruise, as he swallowed the moan the action produced. If he just closed his eyes, he could pretend that it was Sanzo he was pinning to the wall. He could imagine that it was Sanzo's arousal he was smelling, and it was the blond's cock pressing into the flesh of his thigh. "I'm not going to be gentle…" he murmured against the other man's lips, rolling his hips and grunting when he felt long legs wrap around his middle. "I wouldn't be expectin' yah to be, Goku." Another thrill shot through him at the prospect, unable to deny that the demon boy looked exquisite like this. Those heathen golden eyes were glittering and the flush stained his cheeks nicely. He could feel the hum of Goku's energy dancing across his skin, wondering if Sanzo knew what he was missing by denying the boy. His eyes widened at that thought, shaking his head and frowning. Goku purred, biting down on the column of the silver-haired man's throat and earning another groan. He could feel his animalistic instincts taking over, the need to fuck and claim washing over him. He would show Hazel who was dominant enough to claim Sanzo. His hands slithered up Hazel's back, picking up the ridiculous robes that the man wore and gathering them at his hips. He was surprised to find that the man had on a pair of jeans beneath, but he just hurriedly moved them out of the way. He dipped his hand inside and took hold of Hazel's erection, surprised that the man was so aroused. "You're dripping wet…" Hazel moaned at the feeling of Goku's warm hand on his aching length, resting his head on the demon's shoulder and entangling his hands in unruly brunet locks. How long had it been, anyway? He didn't really think about indulging base needs, but he wasn't above it. "Just get on with it…" He felt that hand beginning to tug, surprisingly gentle and enough to tantalize. The touch was rhythmical and terribly arousing, as though Goku had done this before. Goku smirked, removing his hand from around Hazel's neck to force the man to look at him. He pressed their lips together again, gentler this time, but with still enough bite to let the man know who was calling the shots. He tugged harder, wringing more sounds out of the man. His own arousal throbbed in response, and he decided that he needed to fuck Hazel now. He let go of Hazel's cock to push his own pants out of the way and to grab the lube that he stuffed in his back pocket. Just because he hated the man didn't mean that he would go out of the way to hurt him, not to mention the fact that it would probably hurt him as well. He let his cock brush against Hazel's ass, coating his fingers generously before reaching between them to stretch the other man. Practice, he reminded himself, ignoring the niggling feeling of excitement that flared up in his stomach. Hazel arched away from the wall at the intrusion, a whimper escaping from deep within him as he felt his body open up to Goku's touch. He stared down into that intent face, feeling the coils of arousal in his belly tightening further. He never really noticed how truly striking the demon boy was, more so with his hair plastered to his face in the heat of their liaison. He couldn't deny the throb of approval that shook his body or how his body arched again when he felt those digits probe that spot inside him that made him forget his own name. Goku hissed at the feeling of Hazel's muscles tensing in rhythm with his thrusts and deemed him ready. Slathering a considerable amount of the lube onto his own length, he hurried to push inside the other man. His eagerness surprised him, but he decided it had something to do with how turned on he was. Once inside, he moaned desperately into Hazel's shoulder and willed his hips to stay in one spot. He couldn't understand why he was so intent on not hurting the man. He should have wanted to fuck him senseless, to prove that he was the one who could dominate Sanzo. Slowly, he began to thrust, smirking at the sounds the silver-haired man made as he did. Hazel clutched at Goku as he thrust, his hips bucking in turn and responding eagerly. So much strength packed into such a lithe body, he was heady knowing that he was experiencing it. Vaguely, he wondered if Sanzo had ever experienced Goku like this. He was almost thrilled that he may have been the first to witness such passion. "Ah, Goku…" The name rolled off his tongue before he could stop it, initiating a kiss for the first time. He moaned into the kiss, seeking Goku's tongue out and sucking hard on it. He felt the shudder ripple through the boy, smirking to himself. Not to be outdone, Goku snaked his free hand between their bodies to grasp Hazel's weeping cock, stroking roughly and attempting to bring the other to climax. He could feel the coil of heat winding in his own belly, desperate for release. It would have just been too much to know that he made Hazel cum. A few more well-placed flicks of his wrist and he felt Hazel's muscles clench around him. Had he been that aroused? It didn't matter, feeling wet heat coat his hand and the moan the orgasm produced. Hazel's eyes shot open when he came, shocking him. He hadn't expected to enjoy this little experience. He had been trying to think of violet eyes and blond hair, finding his mind filled with liquid gold and a feral smile. His body shuddered, feeling the sudden warmth of Goku's own release coat his insides. Another moan escaped him, practically clawing at the demon's shoulders and back. Goku buried himself deep in the other man as he released, a cry tearing itself from his throat at the sensation. His knees gave out and he collapsed on the ground, taking Hazel with him. The two of them lay in tangled heap, neither one able to will themselves up. After a moment, Goku pressed a kiss to Hazel's temple and pulled out of him as gently and quickly as possible. The sight of the man's flushed skin was pleasing, to the point that Goku wouldn't have minded going another round. Funny that he wasn't thinking of Sanzo at the moment, but rather how stunning Hazel looked in the moonlight. "Well…" Hazel said after a moment, unsure of what else to say. "I reckon we better head back to the inn. The other might be startin' to worry." The two of them silently collected themselves and headed back to the inn. Goku brushed his hand against Hazel's own once they reached the door, but nothing else was exchanged. It had been just a meaningless fuck, after all. ----- Hakkai immediately noticed that something had changed over the course of the night. It wasn't just that Goku had come in late, or that he had very nearly slept through breakfast, it was that the golden-eyed boy was watching Hazel with a look of thinly veiled interest. Add that to the fact that Hazel wasn't bugging Sanzo anymore, much the monk's obvious relief. Still, he noticed once or twice that Hazel took to watching Goku instead of Sanzo. The two had exchanged glances more than once, but it hadn't been more than that. As if reading his mind, he felt Gojyo's hand come down on his shoulder. "Whatever it is, let it go. It's probably better that way." The redhead grinned cockily, because he could easily tell what had happened. The monkey's plan had backfired and it amused him to no end. What was Sanzo going to think when he found out his monkey was jonsing for someone else? Hakkai blinked for a moment before he started to laugh, unable to control himself. "You're probably right, Gojyo. I do know this…things have just gotten a lot more interesting."

Show me a quirky heroine, a funny/cocky/cute love interest, a sassy best friend, etc. and I'll generally follow you anywhere. But, while ABC's <i>Cougar Town</i> has all of these things, I just wasn't interested. Why? Because the word &quot;cougar&quot; is in the title. </p> <p> I've been trying to sit this whole &quot;cougar&quot; thing out since about 2006, but it just won't die. Why does this stupid word live on? The double-standard has been well noted: Men over 40 have been hooking up with younger women for ages, therefore it's sexist to have a derogatory term for women who do the same thing. Maybe the word has staying power precisely because it's been deemed derogatory. Now TV writers are deluding themselves that the word is both funny and controversial. (It's neither.) </p> <p>I could only assume that a show called <i>Cougar Town</i> would be woefully, painfully, pathetically unfunny as well. But I'm happy to say it's not. Courtney Cox is still a great physical comedian, Christie Miller is more delightfully neurotic than ever, and I love Busy Phillips. I just love her. The three share a lot of fast-paced dialog that makes me laugh in spite of myself...and in spite of some pretty disturbing lines, like, &quot;I used to be young and hot, now I'm just a big pile of old.&quot; </p> <p><img src="http://jimhalterman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/CougarTown2.jpg" alt="It&#039;s Monica Gellar and Kim Kelly! Or whatever." align="bottom" height="427" width="640" /> </p> <p>Yes, body insecurity absolutely dominates the conversation, and it's especially hard to swallow coming from the painstakingly preserved Courtney Cox (playing Jules), who is still hotter than most 22-year-olds (at least by conventional standards). If ABC wants to do this cougar thing, why not go with the uber-aggressive sex goddess in leopard print and stilettos who seduces young men for her own pleasure? That stereotype is a lot more fun than the wrinkle-obsessed basket case frantically clinging to her youth.</p> <p>The most annoying thing about the title is that it doesn't even describe the show. Of the three female leads, Jules is the only single woman over 40, and she's pretty timid about dating due to her recent divorce. She's seeing a few younger guys, but her main love interest is a same-aged neighbor. Why isn't the show just called &quot; Rom-Com Village&quot; or &quot;Finding Herself City&quot;? The age difference between Jules and her younger partners is uneventful, and totally beside the point.</p> <p>If you're looking for a guilty pleasure, <i>Cougar Town</i> might do it for you. (I, for one, am keeping my season pass.) Just be sure to have a paper and pen handy, because you might want to note your discontent once they start weighing themselves or whatever. </p> http://bitchmagazine.org/post/cougar-me-this#commentsABCBusy PhillipsChrista MillerCourtney Coxromantic comedysitcomstupid wordsTVThu, 22 Oct 2009 05:29:54 +0000Juliana Tringali2394 at http://bitchmagazine.org

My only regret with this fried mash potato recipe is that I should’ve put some kind of veggie in with the mix and used a different kind of meat. Maybe mushroom or green pepper. Also, next time around, I’d like to make a gravy dipping sauce. Ohhhhh I just got this idea like right now, right now, right meow. What if I made a fried mash potato Thanksgiving theme recipe? In the mix I’ll put in turkey, mac n cheese and stuffing with a side of gravy dipping sauce. It’ll be like a burst of Thanksgiving in your mouth. Ha bust, ha mouth. You’re so immature. Grow up.

When it comes to security, we are so, so stupid. So before you laugh at Trump's use of hopelessly insecure mail servers, consider that 89 percent of surveyed business users use public Wi-Fi sites. Xirrus, a leading enterprise Wi-Fi networks company, polled more than 2,000 business users, including executives and IT professionals. They found that while 91 percent of respondents do not believe public Wi-Fi is secure -- believe it or not -- 89 percent use it anyway. Did I mention that we're really dumb? We expect public Wi-Fi wherever we go. From coffee shops to hotels to airports to planes to the dressing rooms of clothing stores we not only want Wi-Fi, we demand it. At the same time, few public networks protect users' data when they connect. At most they use WPA2-Personal encryption. Guess what? Practically speaking, WPA-2 Personal has been crackable for over seven years. Besides, since public networks typically use the same password for everyone, your local Wi-Fi traffic is wide open to snoopers. In short, while these networks offer convenience, they rarely encrypt data, leaving passwords exposed and sensitive data vulnerable to hackers. How bad is it really? Really, really bad. Xirrus found: 48 percent of Wi-Fi users connect to public Wi-Fi at least three times per week; 31 percent connect to public Wi-Fi every day. 91 percent of Wi-Fi users do not believe public Wi-Fi is secure, yet 89 percent use it anyway. When on public Wi-Fi, 83 percent of Wi-Fi users access their email, whether it's for work or personal reasons, and 43 percent access work/job-specific information. Nearly half (46 percent) of Wi-Fi users say their company has not offered cybersecurity training in the past year. Nearly 30 percent of respondents are not aware of ransomware as a threat, despite it being identified as one of the most pervasive cyber threats. "Today, the convenience of using public Wi-Fi, for a variety of work and recreational uses, supersedes security, which puts both individuals and businesses at risk," said Shane Buckley, Xirrus CEO, in a statement. "Most businesses do not offer secure connectivity options for customers and guests. And what makes connecting to public Wi-Fi even more risky is that employers rarely provide proper education around these security risks, or provide tools to keep their employee and company data safe." Some of this is our fault. Indeed, Xirrus found 85 percent of Wi-Fi users would blame themselves if they get hacked. At the same time, their employers don't help as much as they should. Only 47 percent of those surveyed said their employers encourage them to use a virtual private network (VPN) when traveling for business. 26 percent said their employers don't recommend any security measures when traveling. So yes, we shouldn't use public Wi-Fi as if they were safe and secure. But, as Morgan Wright, cybersecurity expert and senior fellow at The Center for Digital Government, observed, "Businesses not only have a corporate responsibility to educate their users of the risks associated with connecting to public Wi-Fi, but also to give them the necessary tools to avoid attacks." For more on Xirrus's finding you can download a free copy of the Rolling the Dice with public Wi-Fi survey report. In the meantime, if you're going to use public Wi-Fi -- and odds are you will -- keep in mind that someone may be watching your every online move and act accordingly. Related Stories:

ISIS kills Christians for refusing to convert to Islam in sickening video ISIS, the world's most dangerous Terrorist group released a sickening video where they gruesomely killed Ethiopian Christians for refusing to convert to Christianity according to reports by Express UK. Ethiopian Christians in the video can be seen dressed in orange jumpsuits with dozens of masked terrorists standing behind them by the beach side. The 29-minute video, which has been brought down by Youtube, shows the jihadis separate the Christians into two groups on a beach in Libya before shooting and cutting off the heads of about 16 Christians after they refused converting to Islam.ISIS say the Christians did not pay a compulsory religious ISIS tax and were left with one option - to convert or be killed. ISIS in the video also referred to the men as "followers of the cross from the enemy Ethiopian Church".

This article is about sex and beer. Don’t say IFLScience never gives you anything. Okay, well it’s not the kind of sex you’re used to, well I hope not anyway. We’re talking about yeast sex. Now that may leave you somewhat deflated, but this yeast hanky panky could bring us new types of beer that take us beyond the homogeneous tastes of lager that currently line supermarket shelves. The findings are published in the September 25 edition of Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Unlike lager, ales vary significantly not only in taste but aroma and appearance, too. The narrow range of flavor has been attributed to a lack of genetic diversity in the yeasts used during fermentation, all of which are slight variations of the species S. pastorianus. Interestingly, genetic studies have found that all these strains are the result of just two crosses between parental species. These independent hybridization events, involving the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. eubayanus, gave rise to two distinct yeast genotypes, Saaz and Frohberg. It is from these that all commercially available strains are derived. Scientists therefore wondered whether creating a greater breadth of yeast strains could be key to spicing up the range of aromas available in lagers. To achieve this, they selected six strains of S. cerevisiae and two of S. eubayanus and experimentally manipulated their growth environment in order to try and encourage interspecies breeding. “We were able to get some serious sexual action between our yeasts, which resulted in hundreds of new lager yeast strains,” lead researcher Kevin Verstrepen from the University of Leuven, Belgium, said in a statement. They then tested 31 novel strains out in small, lab-scale beer fermentations, and disappointedly some of them produced beer that was pretty rank. But 10 of them showed potential, producing diverse aroma profiles and growing speedily under industrially relevant conditions. So they selected four of these and put them through pilot-scale fermentations. “Two were magnificent,” recalled Verstrepen. “They fermented more quickly than the commercially used reference lager yeast that we compared them to, and they produced really nice flavors.” Importantly, they found that their new hybrids generated aroma profiles that differed significantly to those used today, and one in particular was especially fruity. “This means that it now becomes possible to make lager beers that, like ale beers, are more different from each other, and this [sic] without the need to extensively change the production process.” Whether or not we will see any of these exotic new lagers on the shelves any time soon hasn’t been speculated by the researcher, but if we do, we can thank this group’s weekly in-lab beer-tasting sessions, which resulted in one scientist’s lightbulb moment. Methinks if all labs were like this, there would be a lot more scientists around the world, albeit with all that beer, they probably wouldn’t get much work done.

10 Ways To Lose Your Girl One of the most popular relationship books over the past decade is called “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” The author, John Gray Ph.D blogs on his website http://www.askmarsvenus.com frequently. Recently his staff asked members of their blog community the top 10 ways to turn off, and more than likely, have your girlfriend/wife become your ex. Here they are in order: 1) Lies, lies, lies…no bigger no-no than just plain being dishonest. And with no truth there is no trustworthiness. 2) Possessiveness…when you’re controlling or needy or downright demanding, you are at your worst. Would you want to be around somebody like that? 3) Being mean…disrespect and insensitivity can bust up a relationship very quickly. Women need to feel accepted and appreciated. 4) Lack of communication…you don’t listen or hear or communicate clearly. Learn to open your ears with unconditional listening. It is a relationship booster. 5) Being neglectful…lack of attention is critical to the way women feel about themselves. You must let them know they matter to you and your relationship is a priority. 6) Lack of attention…wandering eye syndrome, flirting and just dumb behavior that makes your partner feel as if she’s not special is relationship killer. 7) Rudeness…women truly appreciate a man who is polite and exhibits good manners. Disgusting personal habits and foul mouths are never a turn-on. 8) Loving thyself…no one admires an arrogant, selfish individual. When you put someone else down, your mate notices and it is not in a good way. 9) Aggressive, abusive behavior…does anything else need to be said? Even if the behavior isn’t aimed at your girl, this is a strong indication of some deep-seeded problems. Get a hold of yourself. 10) Hung up on your ex…too much talk about your ex could have your girl feeling that you’re still wanting her…even if you are denigrating her…So stay away from ex discussion at all costs…

Monday, November 12, 2007 You might have already been able to tell from one of my last posts but I've been having a tough time lately. It went beyond feeling sick and straight to my own personal depression-like hell. Being cooped up in the house for weeks on end will do that to even the toughest nut. And let me tell you on a good day I am as tough as I am nutty. On a bad day I'm just pathetic. I had to cancel the last class I was teaching last Monday so I can officially no longer work. It was a class I was already three weeks into. I felt like I was letting all my students down but I just could not give them my all. Hell, I could barely make it to class and once I was there I couldn't finish the whole hour. My weight loss to date is around 15 pounds and that's left me incredibly weak and light-headed. Not to mention, with my tiny bump, looking like one of those kids that Sally Struthers was always trying to feed. However, I've had a string of fairly decent moments over the past few days and I'm feeling a bit stronger than I did when I told the world that I really needed my mommy. And for the record, I'm not ashamed of that. I don't know if it's because I've been less pukey, or because I've gotten out of the house at least once... (To buy this book that features a short story by my close and personal friend - and my latest stalking target - Bossy. Da shit made me laugh, y'all. That's got to tell you something) ...or because I was able to eat a hot dog yesterday without needing to purge it. At any rate, I'm feeling more hopeful that I will get through these dark days to see the light at the end of this vomitous tunnel. I know one thing for certain, however. I got a kick in the ass by way of a comment by the perceptive Jenifer and it was just what I needed. Jenifer pretty much told me to suck it up and stop feeling sorry for myself because there are so many other women out there who would kill to be in my slightly rancid smelling shoes. But she told me this in the nicest way possible. I was wondering when someone was going to finally call me out for being such an insensitive, whiny little shit. I know, of course, that so many women who desperately want children of their own can't. I have close friends who have jumped through every medical hoop possible to have a baby of their own. I have spoken or emailed with other bloggers who I know for a fact would willingly change places with me, vomiting be damned. Women who have considered putting their own lives in jeopardy again just to have another child. I know all of this, but it's easy to forget when you're so wrapped up with worrying if your lack of eating will force a miscarriage or in some way irreparably harm your unborn child. And by "you" I mean me. Yes, I get pregnant easily and yes, unfortunately, I have an incredibly hard time throughout my pregnancies. I will not feel bad for bemoaning my own situation but it's time to acknowledge that others have it pretty hard off too. So, to you ladies out there who have occasionally felt like thrusting my head deeply into that toilet I spend so much time over, my heart goes out to you. If I could give you my uterus, I would. I know one blogger who is going to hate that last line but I say it with in all seriousness. If it were possible to do a uterus transplant, my friend, you could have mine. So don't hate me too much. 34 comments: I AM THE BITCHIEST PREGNANT WOMAN EVER.EVER.I complain until I have to complain there's nothing left to complain about. And no, I don't want to vomit because I ate a lot of pesto for dinner and, well, ew.Plus, if I were knocked up now it would mean no BlogHer next year.SO THERE. I miscarried my first, then fertility drugs with my oldest son. And, uh, we never found the "off" switch and were crazy fertile after that. So, I remember feeling jealous for awhile there when I'd lost a baby and felt like everyone in the universe was pregnant and then went on to have four babies (only the first one didn't have me sick as a dog) and having three kind of suckass pregnancies. And it does kind of remind you, those feelings I had when I wondered if we were going to be one of those couples who struggles with infertility and how painful that is, it made it hard to be pissed about vomit later.I'm not one to wear a shirt that says "morning sickness rocks!" but I knew it was all for something wonderful in the end.Bitching about stuff is fine, you wouldn't be normal if you didn't bitch - pregnancy is not a cake walk, bitch all you want, you've got perspective in spades. There isn't some sliding scale for things that suck. What you are dealing with, is what you are dealing with, and you are entitled to your feelings. The vomiting, the fatigue, the hormones (exacerbated by low blood sugar), the worry.....Just because you are able to get pregnant while others struggle with that, does not diminish the fact that what you are dealing with, does in fact, suck. I learned this important life lesson from a very wise friend, who, mere weeks after his father died from a brain tumor, was asking me how I was doing after my miscarriage. When I said I had no right to complain to him, with all that he was dealing with, he informed me that what is on your plate, is what is on your plate. Your feelings are not based on the experiences of others. As someone who not too long ago would have---and did---seriously jeopardized myself just to be PG no matter what hardship I had to take on, I understand the feeling, and I'm glad you took it in a good spirit, but I have this rule about not comparing pain or making other people's situations my own, KWIM? See, this is where I don't get something. If it's your Blog, your pregnancy, your difficulty, why shouldn't it be your perogative to state what and how you feel? I DO NOT consider that whining. If it makes someone else unhappy, there are plenty of other Blogs to choose from. Tell them to find one. Hey you, I'm glad you are feeling the tiniest bit better. Early pregnancy with KayTar was just hell (that one keeps me on my toes, doesn't she?) and on my BIRTHDAY that year, it finally let up. It is still the best gift, I've ever gotten. LOL. Bless your sweet heart.I had a textbook picture perfect pregnancy with the princess, complete with 60 pound weight gain.With the monkey, I lost 18 pounds and was hospitalized because I couldn't keep water down. I was smaller pregnant with him, than before pregnant. Every pregnancy is unique, every struggle is unique... just because you are one of the blessed who can get pregnant and does so easily does not mean that your struggle is any less important. It's yours, it is your crisis, your heartache, your pain and your struggle. Own it and let it change you, let it make you a better woman for what you have gone through. Give love and support to those who would kill to be in your shoes because that's all you can do. Experience your pregnancy and cherish every second because it will be over before you know it and then will come the really hard part (LOL) the CHILD!!! You know what? I know that this isn't what was suggested in the comment - which I can see was meant to be a motivational tickle to push you trough the next few weeks or so - but I think I'm now reading a sort of subtext in which you are now feeling a bit bad for talking about feeling so bad. Yes? No? If yes, read on. If no, ignore and skip to next comment. I know that there are all sorts of people out there with worse conditions than my own. Which some might go so far as to suggest would give me no "right" to complain about, oh, children wanting to eat off my plate (eh-hem) or the price of gas (because at least I have a car) or my gangrenous toe (because at least I have a leg) or my friend's father who recently and unexpectedly died (because at least her entire family wasn't machete-ed to death in a civil war). Etc. Etc. Etc. But, I think it's possible to complain and vent and even get a little depressed, and at the same time, still hold deep and sincere empathy and sympathy for those who have it worse, as well as a gratitude for what we have. Humans are beautifully complex and layered that way. Everyone needs their mother at some time. And compassion, like love, is boundless. You can accept my compassion for your situation, and truly, I have plenty more to give to others who are in other tough situations, and I am not under the impression that by my giving you compassion, I will be spinning you into a depth of chronic generalized ingratitude for all of life's joys. So, go ahead and complain all you want. Being sick is being sick. In any other situation, getting sick is a message to every neuron in your body that this is something bad happening or has happened. Intellectually, yes, you know that there is a baby at then end of this illness, but ten-billion neurons (or however many there are) are still tough to convince to brighten-up on an hour-to-hour basis. And now, perhaps, is not the best time to begin studying Zen Buddhism. If that's what you need to get through the rough days, then by all means, use that thought. But please, please, please, don't let yourself feel guilty about feeling down. In my book, you've paid-it-forward enough in this blog alone to cash in a few vents about puking non-stop. Much love, and...did you say you wanted a ginger-ale? No? ;-) Oh, I so feel for you. You have every right to feel the way you do because you have hormones cursing through you and I really don't want to anger you. hahaha. I've had four and puked my way through each and every pregnancy. It took years to not look at a plate of food deciding what food wouldn't make me wretch too hard and end up peeing my up-around-my-armpits pregnancy pants. I wouldn't mention this but I can empathize and you're probably ready to try anything that will help... Acupressure worked at times when I was in public and didn't want to stop on the sidewalk and puke into a drain. (Cause we all know that is so ladylike.) Ack - it's not too terrible to wallow; to feel yourself in a bad spell. We talk ourselves into too much shit sometimes. It doesn't make you awful for not sucking it up. Bossy loves you warts and all. (You don't actually, like, have warts though, right?) It's like people telling you there are starving people in China. Yes, there are. But just because someone else has it worse than you doesn't mean you can't complain. It doesn't make your complaints any less valid. I can't stand it when people say "You shouldn't complain, others would give anything to be in your shoes." I can see saying that if you're bitching that your manicure didn't come out perfectly but you're not. Not even close. I have/had a really hard time getting pregnant. And staying pregnant. And there were other complications. But by far the worst thing for me was the constant puking. It's hard to gain perspective about, well, anything when you just. want. it. to. stop. already.

Dilip Kumar and Sheroo the Wonder Mongoose! Kohinoor When you're relatively new to Dilip Kumar, it's kind of hard to imagine that a movie with a grand, dramatic name like Kohinoor will be anything other than be trauma-drama-o-rama. Oh happy surprise that this film turned out to be a textile lover's blinged-out swashbuckling delight! It reminded me far less of Mughal-e-Azam (released the same year) and much more of Dharam Veer. Granted it's in a somewhat more specified, or at least sartorially consistent, place and time and is less full-tilt loony with a less rambling plot, but it's really funny in parts and has plenty of rollicking action, multiple bad guys, a creepy lech, an orphan, royalty, disguises, schemes, a song on a spinning platform, and lots of helpful animals. It felt proto-masala to about the same degree as Waqt - different RMA elements but similar effect of a restrained mix. If it had been made fifteen years later, I have no doubt all the right seedling elements would have been amped up sufficiently to earn Kohinoor its place among the proud, if less flashy, members of the state of Genuine Masala in our beloved Masala Pradesh. As with much masala, it may not really be worth the bother of explaining the plot, but here goes: Dilip is a prince who is about take over the throne to his kingdom - unless the evil diwan can kill him first.By snake, preferably. He's also engaged to a princess (Meena Kumari)Depending on how good your disguise is, the princess may or may not hurl a heavy vase of flowers at your head.- unless the evil...um...whatever Jeevan is, who also wants the throne in her kingdom, can marry her first.Never let Jeevan in your bedroom.The two sets of villains with identical motives confused me periodically, but it didn't really matter. There's also a helpful musical family, where the prince rocks out while wearing a calico quilt jacketand, more importantly, whose daughter (Kum Kum) falls in love with himand must ultimately choose whether to give into her jealousy/fury of a woman scorned and help Jeevan separate Dilip and Meena forever, as well as submit both kingdoms to the evil usurpers, or do the right thing. And as with many movies generally, the plot and other basic elements of the story are less notable than the particulars through which they are created and portrayed, so let's just skip over any real analysis - I think the basic gist is that you should be nice to people and recognize the source of genuine authority - and if at all possible surround yourself with an arsenal of various animals, sticks, and long curtains - and wallow in Kohinoor's fantastic details. For starters, just look at these costumes!Gems! Pearls! Brocade! Embroidery! Fabric woven with silhouettes of women carrying water jugs! Once I figure out how to get Sadhana to take me shopping in the mid 1960s, I'm calling up this costume staff.* Awesome in all senses of the word. And it should not go unnoted that Jeevan might be the originator of grunge as formalwear. The sets and locations are no less impressive than the costumes. I'm ready to believe that some of this was filmed in actual Rajput palaces, though I didn't see any credits saying so.Click to enlarge the last one and see the giant peacock feather plumes that keep the princess in ultimate comfort. Dances! Glamorous heroine and dashing hero also get to be silly a lot, with many disguises and playful teasing. Spills and thrills!Even Meena gets in on the dishoom. In this last picture, she's in the midst of knocking out several enemy guards with a big stick. She does not, however, speak softly - and lets out many a good shriek and "Nahiiiiin!" All in all a very fun movie that requires limited thought and provides excellent entertainment value. Even if the mongoose isn't actually named Sheroo. * I am also working with Indie Quill to develop Project Runway India and create many filmi challenges for the designers, such as "Here's the song [perhaps the Krishna number from Disco Dancer], now make the backup dancers look not quite so insane" or "This hero needs to take off his shirt in a way audiences haven't seen before...something fresh, something modern." 1. Dilip Kumar looks about 15 years younger in your pix than in Mughul-e-Azam, that's one thing. 2. In the first set of pictures, the woman in the first picture/second row, wearing a little crown, looks to me a lot like Vivienne Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara, with a little Restylane in the lips. It's a great look!! 3. The costume project is thrilling to think about. Ek little idea - if there really is a Disco Dancer Krishna song assignment, a really tough challenge could be, the contestants are forbidden to use crepe paper. Anyhow if that is real and happens I'll get Indian cable TV and change my work schedule if I have to. What I really liked about this film was the fact that Meena Kumari is, for once, not as weepy as in most of her other films. And she even gets to kick-ass (a bit). Love the music, too - especially Madhuban mein Radhika naache re. BTW, the clothing with the silhouettes of women bearing waterpots is similar to the Baluchari saris of West Bengal - they're often woven with figures. My sister has an old one, an heirloom, which depicts a turn-of-the-century drawing room: a man sitting and smoking a hookah, servants pottering about, the lady supervising the housework. etc. Neat! Virginia - I need to rewatch M-e-A. Or rather, I feel like I should, since I don't remember it well. The crowns and other jewelry are so wonderful here. The peacock one is my favorite. re: Krishna song - and no black socks, either! I think we'd have to require the show to be available online. It's only fair :) dustedoff - She was wonderful! I've only seen one other of her films so I have little to compare with, but I liked her character and her performance very much here. Very cool about the saris! I've got some fun Indian textile books here at work and should go scoping. bollywooddeewana - Me too. I don't like the UK version much, but Canadian and Australian series are wonder. Filmi Girl - You should see it! Very fun. I have seen Ram aur Shyam but haven't reviewed it - or, sadly, taken any screen caps! Perhaps I can catch up this weekend (along with Aan - I'm behind on Dilip). The internet appears to have eaten my comment; not that it was very deep. All that I said was that when I watched Mughal-e-Azam everybody appeared to be ten years older in the coloured bits than in the black and white bits. Beth, you should also try Azaad - its another swashbuckler with a much younger looking Meena and more swashbuckling Dilip. Happy Meena is such a delight to watch! I really need to find this one to complete my happy-Meena collection. I loved the movie and what was the surprsing part was that the main leads - known as tragedy king and queens do comedy such effortlessly! Something to be said about fab actors doing any kind of role well enough... I just loved this movie the sets felt like something out of a fairytale. I would love to see this in color and I usually don't like colorizing. Dilip Kumar is the best fake sitar player ever. I really thought it was him playing in the second song especially. (But what do I know about sitars?)And the palace escape via cannon was so OTT cheesy it had me squeeling and clapping in its awesomness.

Fox dumps ‘overnights’ as viewing habits continue to evolve Fox says it’s no longer planning to release overnight ratings – which are supplied by Nielsen and measure live or same-day viewing – because, “the connections between viewers and our shows today are more complex and, in many ways, deeper than ever – but they no longer only happen overnight.” It’s the first network to step away from the measurement system that has been the go-to source for determining how popular a TV show is. The numbers will still be available from Nielsen, the New York Times reported, and Fox still plans to use the numbers for live events like sports. The Times said the move by Fox could set off a chain reaction by other networks that want less of a survey and more of a census regarding their shows’ popularity. “This has to stop. It’s time for us to ‘walk the walk’ and change the conversation,” wrote Gary Newman and Dana Walden, co-chief executives of Fox Television Group, in a memo to staff members. Increased viewing online, binge watching at the end of a season, and the demise of “appointment TV” all have contributed to a precipitous decline in the amount of live linear TV viewing, especially by the critical Millennial demographic. In their memo, Newman and Walden point out that more than one-third of 18- to 49-year-olds who watch Fox programming do it within a seven-day window after the show has aired, a period they feel is more germane to setting ad rates. While Fox is the first major broadcaster to drop the overnights, several cable networks – including those belonging to NBCUniversal, FX and AMC – already have said they’d stop reporting the overnights as well. Nielsen will expand its sampling of consumer video preference to out-of-home viewing starting in Q2 2017, taking its People Meters portable in nearly four dozen markets, the company said, beginning to get at least a peak at how modern viewers consume online content on the go. Some 60% of publishers in the United Kingdom are expecting the number of programmatic partnerships to rise in 2016, according to a new survey, that also shows 80% of respondents believe monetization of data to be an important part of their business.

It will not banish the memories of their ill-fated Ryder Cup partnership, but Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were finally able to enjoy a victory together on Tuesday. Fourteen years after losing twice on the opening day at Oakland Hills after being paired by US captain Hal Sutton, the long-time rivals teamed up to beat Fred Couples and Thomas Pieters in a nine-hole practice round ahead of the Masters. 'They enjoyed beating us badly, I will say that,' Couples told reporters afterwards. 'I feel bad for Thomas because I couldn't have helped Jack Nicklaus in his prime today. Thomas had a lot on his shoulders.' Tiger Woods enjoyed a practice round on Tuesday ahead of his return to the Masters Share this article Starting on the back nine, Couples and Pieters won the first two holes but then saw Woods eagle both the 13th and 15th and Mickelson make five straight birdies. 'I think come Sunday, they might be paired together,' Couples added. 'They're playing extremely well. They love the course. And they're going to do very, very well.' Pieters, who was fourth on his Masters debut last year, added: 'Tiger was brilliant.' Mickelson, 47, who won for the first time since 2013 last month, is aiming to surpass Jack Nicklaus as the oldest ever winner at Augusta National. Fans watch on in the sun as the 14-time major champion hits a tee shot on the 14th hole Woods and Mickelson were also joined by Thomas Pieters and Fred Couples for practice round The American trio pictured sharing a laugh on the 11th hole as they polished up their game And Woods, who underwent spinal fusion surgery last April, is seeking a first major title - and 15th in total - since winning the US Open in 2008. Asked about the improved relationship between himself and Mickelson, Woods said: 'I think Phil and I have been through it for so long and we have been together on these teams (Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup) long enough. 'And then when I got hurt and I had to take a different role on the teams, being assistant captain and really trying to help out on the side, Phil was great. He was trying to help me out when I was trying to make a comeback, my body wasn't feeling very good. 42-year-old Woods walks to the 16th green on Tuesday while fans get a sneak peak of his form 'And our friendship has gotten stronger over the years. We have competed a lot of times coming down the stretch in events. 'And I think it's just age as well. We're at the tail end of our careers, we both know that. He's 47 and I'm 42, and we have had a great 20-year battle. Hopefully we'll have a few more, but we understand where we are in the game now versus where we were in our early 20s, battling for who is going to be number one, and that was then and certainly this is now.' Large crowds gather on the hills at Augusta to watch Woods and Co putt on the 16th green

Q: ASP.NET MVC Using Render Partial from Within an Html Helper I have an HtmlHelper extension that currently returns a string using a string builder and a fair amount of complex logic. I now want to add something extra to it that is taken from a render partial call, something like this ... public static string MyHelper(this HtmlHelper helper) { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); builder.Append("Hi There"); builder.Append(RenderPartial("MyPartialView")); builder.Append("Bye!"); return builder.ToString(); } Now of course RenderPartial renders directly to the response so this doesn;t work and I've tried several solutions for rendering partials to strings but the all seem to fall over one I use the HtmlHelper within that partial. Is this possible? A: Because this question, although old and marked answered, showed up in google, I'm going to give a different answer. In asp.net mvc 2 and 3, there's an Html.Partial(...) method that works like RenderPartial but returns the partial view as a string instead of rendering it directly. Your example thus becomes: //using System.Web.Mvc.Html; public static string MyHelper(this HtmlHelper helper) { StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(); builder.Append("Hi There"); builder.Append(helper.Partial("MyPartialView")); builder.Append("Bye!"); return builder.ToString(); }

I am personally addressing you, because your faves are problematic onsomekingggshit do you know why you are a House Negro? This is what white pride is about. Degrading other races to prop themselves up. White people feel they are oh so innocent. I will tell you right now, that I don’t believe a single fucking person in this world has done not a single thing wrong. But you know what? Every time you comment on this blog, you whine right along with the rest of the crackers as though they are going to somehow accept you. Guess what? “If you’re white, you’re alright If you’re brown, stick around If you’re yellow you’re mellow But if you’re black, get back”. That’s how this country works. And you can play on their side. Go ahead, we don’t mind. But the day that you honestly come to realize that no one on this blog can be responsible for what your respectability politics will cost you when it comes to repairing your pride in the future. This isn’t a kind message. But it sure as hell is better than nothing. Remember that being on the side of oppressive white people doesn’t help you or other POC, it just helps oppressive white people get ahead and take advantage of you. It’s called actually figure out what people here stand for. It’s called figure out what racism really is and then maybe I can take anyone of you seriously. ~ Vadim

Q: Defining custom css attributes and changing any value with animate() I'm trying to make a result screen in javascript that displays animated scores. For the specific field in the example it's supposed to go from the value to 0 in two seconds, two seconds after the screen appears. Since it's easy to change css values with animate() I thought I could assign the values to some custom css property, then have the element's value take it from there. According to this article I just have to place -- in front of custom css attributes and this one shows me how to use the animate() method. So I tried doing this $elementSuccess.css('--value', scorePlus); and it turns out --value's value is undefined. When I display scorePlus somewhere it appears, so it's defined. Is there another way to define a custom value? Here is the entire code for this element. Will there be any errors with it if a custom attribute is defined correctly? $elementSuccess.html(scorePlus); $elementSuccess.css('--value', scorePlus); setTimeout(function(){ $elementSuccess.animate({ '--value': 0 }, { duration: 2000, progress: function(){ $elementSuccess.html(Math.round($elementSuccess.css('--value'))); } } ); },2000); A: Try this: var scorePlus=100; var $elementSuccess=$('.success'); var myObject = {score:scorePlus}; $elementSuccess.html(scorePlus); $(myObject).delay(2000).animate({score:0},{duration:2000,progress:function(){$elementSuccess.html(Math.round(myObject.score))}}); <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="success"></div> Based on my understanding of your problem, basically using a pseudo myObject and animating its score property should provide you with the desired effect. Also, instead of setTimeout, I resorted to using delay().

Effect of the rigid segment content on the properties of segmented polyurethanes conjugated with atorvastatin as chain extender. Segmented polyurethanes were prepared with polycaprolactone diol as soft segment and various amounts of 4,4´-Methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate) and atorvastatin, a statin used for lowering cholesterol, in order to obtain SPU with different content of rigid segments. Polyurethanes with 35% or 50% of rigid segment content were physicochemically characterized and their biocompatibility assessed with L929 fibroblasts. High concentrations of atorvastatin were incorporated by increasing the content of rigid segments as shown by FTIR, Raman, NMR, XPS and EDX. Thermal and mechanical characterization showed that polyurethanes containing atorvastatin and 35% of rigid segments were low modulus (13 MPa) semicrystalline polymers as they exhibited a glass transition temperature (Tg) at -38 °C, melting temperature (Tm) at 46 °C and crystallinity close to 35.9% as determined by DSC. In agreement with this, X-ray diffraction showed reflections at 21.3° and 23.6° for PCL without reflections for atorvastatin suggesting its presence in amorphous form with higher potential bioavailability. Low content of rigid segments led to highly degradable polymer in acidic, alkaline and oxidative media with an acceptable fibroblast cytotoxicity up to 7 days possibly due to low atorvastatin content.

Lagos, Nigeria (CNN) Nigeria is restricting entry into the country for travelers from 13 countries including the US and UK, as it announced five new cases Wednesday. The restriction will apply to travelers from countries with more than 1,000 cases. They include China, Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Japan, France, Germany, the United States, Norway, UK, Netherlands and Switzerland, the country's National Centre for Disease Control said on its Twitter account. "The Federal Government of Nigeria has also suspended the issuance of visa on arrival to travelers from these countries. All travelers returning from these countries prior to the restriction will be in supervised self-isolation, monitored by the NCDC and Port Health Services," - the tweet read. The restriction will take effect starting on March 20 and will be in place until further notice. Health officials also announced an additional five cases of the virus in the country , bringing the total number of confirmed cases to eight. One of them is a recovered patient who came in contact with the index case to Nigeria, an Italian man on a business trip to the country, authorities said. In an earlier statement on Tuesday, the NCDC said a 30-year-old woman, who came into the country after a short visit to the UK tested positive to coronavirus after she developed symptoms including coughing and a fever on her return. She had self-isolated in her home when she arrived in the country on March 13 and called the agency when she developed symptoms, the NCDC said, adding that it had begun tracing those who had come in contact with her. "We expect the number to be small because of her sensible decision to go into self-isolation from the time of her arrival," the statement read. Africa shutting its doors Nigeria joins other African countries that are shutting their airports and land borders to keep out people from countries that have a high number of coronavirus cases. Tunisia on Monday suspended all international flights and closed the country's land borders in an attempt to contain the outbreak. It also banned gathering in markets and other places and introduced a nighttime curfew from 6 p.m to 6 a.m from Wednesday. Sudan also sealed off all sea ports, land crossings and airports, a spokesman for Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council, Mohamed Al-Faki Suleiman, said in a press statement. Hundreds of international flights have been canceled, schools have closed and travelers from coronavirus-hit countries have been restricted or, in some cases, banned from visiting some countries in Africa. Egypt, with the highest number of coronavirus cases in Africa, announced it was suspending flights from all its airports starting Thursday to stop the spread of the virus, Ahram Online reported. Some countries such as Djibouti are yet to record a single case, but it has suspended all international flights to the country, the US Embassy in Djibouti said in a statement There is widespread support on the continent for governments to impose travel bans. One Twitter user noted that Western countries would have acted swiftly to place travel sanctions on travelers if the outbreak originated in Africa. "I hope African countries close up their borders to all these majorly affected countries because we all know the west would ban travel had Coronavirus started in Africa," they said. Advice against restrictions The travel bans and restrictions goes against the advice of the WHO, which has urged countries to not apply blind travel restrictions in a way that would impact trade and travel. WHO Africa's Dr. Mary Stephen told CNN that many African countries, which were initially screening passengers from countries with outbreaks and also placing travelers from virus-hit countries on quarantine, may now be making travel ban decisions based on panic. "The outbreak is evolving. It used to be China and now it is Italy and other countries are following after it. So we must be careful because we have seen an increasing number of countries imposing travel restrictions, and that means their perception of risks have changed. But have they done a risk assessment to their countries or are they just implementing those measures based on their perception?" she said. Stephen, who is with the organization's emergencies team, said African countries need to enhance their capacities to detect early, isolate and track all patients' contacts and effectively manage the sick to curb the spread of coronavirus. She added that airport screening and a robust surveillance system were effective ways to detect cases from travelers without symptoms. "WHO continues to advise countries not to impose travel restrictions but countries also have their sovereignty," she said. 'A ban on foreign nationals' South Africa has declared a "national state of disaster," and put in place a number of travel restrictions on foreign nationals in a bid to halt the spread of the virus. "We are imposing a travel ban on foreign nationals from high-risk countries such as Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and China as from 18 March 2020," President Cyril Ramaphosa said in his address to the nation on Sunday. Ramaphosa said the country was seeing an internal transmission of the virus that was first detected in a group that traveled to Italy. He said the government will take "urgent and drastic measures'' to protect the citizens and its economy. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation on Sunday. Visas issued to nationals from affected countries before the travel ban have also been revoked, the president said. Ramaphosa said foreigners who have visited these countries in the last 20 days would also be denied a visa to travel to the country. He announced the closure of half of the county's land ports and schools and banned public gatherings of more than 100 people across the nation. In Kenya, the government raised the stakes by imposing a travel ban on foreigners from all countries that have reported any case of coronavirus. The directive came into effect on Tuesday and will remain for a month, the government said in a statement on Sunday. Morocco has suspended all international flights to and from its territory "until further notice" as part of measures to tackle the coronavirus, the country's foreign ministry said in a statement Sunday. It had previously banned flights to and from Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Belgium. Schools shut down, social distancing Ghana announced similar travel restrictions on Sunday and warned airlines not to board foreigners from countries that have recorded more than 200 cases of coronavirus in the last two weeks. "All travel to Ghana is strongly discouraged at this point in time," Ghana's Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said in a video posted on Facebook on Sunday. Uganda imposed travel restrictions last week on 16 countries it said had high cases of coronavirus, including the US and the UK, becoming the first in the pack to enforce such stringent travel advisory for foreign nationals. Health authorities in the East African nation warned foreign nationals and Ugandan citizens in the affected countries to stay away or pay for their self-quarantine. Clamor for border closure People in Cameroon are calling on the government to close airports and borders into the West African nation after the country confirmed its fifth case of coronavirus on Monday. A French citizen was the first to test positive for the virus in the country. Health Minister Dr. Manaouda Malachie, who announced the case on Twitter, did not name the nationality of the infected patient but that has not stopped citizens demanding that a travel ban be imposed on foreigners coming into the country. "Listen to the plea of the people of Cameroon and close the border and quarantine everyone coming into the country. Countries that heavily depend on tourism have done so," Chapafac Christwadle tweeted.

Q: Get the Category Name in WordPress - efficient or "bad" code? This is a question that is more about code best practices: $cat_name = get_the_category()[0]->name; Instead of doing this with a few vars, in a few steps: $cat = get_the_category(); $cat_name = $cat[0]->name; Is this considered bad practice? or is it in any way problematic? if so why? Again, my question is about the code, not the result. A: I'd say it depends on whether you have php set to display notices, and whether you care about undefined offset notices. Here's the issue (IMO). Check out the beginning of the function: function get_the_category( $id = false ) { $categories = get_the_terms( $id, 'category' ); if ( ! $categories || is_wp_error( $categories ) ) $categories = array(); You can see that if there are no categories or an error "happens", the method returns an empty array. Doing a quick test... <?php $categories = array(); echo $categories[0]->name; We get Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in test.php on line 5 Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in test.php on line 5 See the problem? Probably best to: $cat = get_the_category(); if ($cat) { $cat_name = $cat[0]->name; }

Q: QueryBuilder still returning Entity after delete I have a listview with an adapter with a list of entities loaded using QueryBuilder.list(). When a delete a entites from this list ( mylist.remove(entiy) and then mydao.delete(entity)) and performing an new request using QueryBuilder.list() my entity is still there. I suppose that it is related to the cache so i tried first to clear my daosession and also to use a lazylist (uncached). But it is not working. I dont know where to look next ! Thanks for your help. A: I found the solution, in the project i am working on, there is a thread which was loading the entities, call a webservices to fill some data and then update the entities, so they were updated again even if i was deleting them from my activity with the list view. But i found weird that i can perform an update on a deleted entities. It would have been better to have a exception.

A white man named Darren Osborne who lives in Cardiff, Wales drove into a crowd of Muslims near the famous Finsbury Park hate mosque. (Pictured above, their former Imam, now in a US prison, with the hook replaced with a spork .) He was almost lynched immediately by a crowd of Muslims, but the Imam stopped them, obviously for PR reasons. [ 'Hero' imam praises group that saved Finsbury Park suspect from angry crowd , Guardian, June 19, 2017] Now GoodWhites on Twitter are asking "Who radicalized him?", which is what people ask after a Muslim goes all terrorist. (It's the wrong question—they should be asking "Why was he in this country?") Maybe it was watching Muslims mass murder his fellow Brits repeatedly and realizing the government wasn't going to do anything about it? pic.twitter.com/z7kbsjRBOc — J Burton (@JBurtonXP) June 19, 2017 By all means, it was radicalized by the mass migration into Europe aggravated by Islamist murders--not by people pointing out these things. https://t.co/5i3netfTcI — John O'Sullivan (@JohnOSullivanNR) June 19, 2017 The point of the "Who radicalized him?" question is to blame you, me, and Nigel Farage for this. I think he was radicalized by the same Muslims who radicalized earlier Muslim terrorists. I mean, he could have been radicalized by the Muslims who blew up little girls at the Ariana Grande concert. He could have been radicalized by the terrorist on Westminster Bridge—that was only in March, in case you've forgotten. Maybe he was radicalized by these guys: Maybe he was radicalized by the London Bombings of 2007: Whatever it was, it was something done or said not by Nigel Farage, but by a Muslim. There's a song that goes "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" to hate—but the people who are teaching you aren't always the people the song meant. Sometimes you're taught to hate by people who hate you.

FIGHT THE LIES, IF YOU ARE AWAKE, YOU ARE THE RESISTANCE!! Menu Tag Archives: DSS Years ago my family and I had the misfortune of being involved with the DSS / CPS because the tenant next door to me made up allegations about me which were bold faced lies. Maybe for those who don’t know I’ll recap what happened in a very brief rant, or you can just go read the whole story on my blog. Basically what happened was how the “See something, say something” policy works and is a great example of that program. The next door neighbor had a beef to settle with me so she took some information about me, lied and filed a false report and thought she was slick. Which is all “See something, say something” is, it’s a way for people to get you in trouble and get even with you. This person knew I was in the Adult industry and because her child got in trouble for shooting my mother-in-laws car with an airsoft rifle. The Mother-in-law filed a report and the following day we reported her dogs running loose and attacking anything that moved. So as revenge she called the DSS / CPS on ME. My complete blog from 2005 till 2009. Goto the Entry for October 02, 2006 for the full story. That’s as simple as I can make it without going into so much detail your head would spin. I spent months fighting with the city of Richmond, the 3rd precinct, the Mayor and the bitch next door. I was called a pedophile by the police and the neighbor all with out trial or even being charged with anything, all on her word. Now in a perfect world she would have been fined or even arrested for filing a false report. But nothing happened to her. The DSS / CPS agent that interrogated my son illegally went to jail for raping a 15 year old mentally challenged girl. One of the last things I said to him face to face was “I didn’t want the word pedophile after my name, that’s why I fought so hard against you all. How would you like the word pedophile after your name for the rest of your life?” Well they turned into a prophetic prediction for a few days later he was arrested. So after all this time and after telling the second in charge of the whole operations at that time Rebecca Klein to and I will quote “Kiss the fattest part of my ass”, for their lack of help with the matter. And after the bitch next door leaving her children home for 24 or so days with no supervision, as said go back and read my blog, we’re here now. The city of Richmond is acting like they have never had a problem with DSS / CPS well YES they have. I never got my records which by law I was allowed to have, they didn’t do a damn thing to help me or my family. And now their here now in this big controversy and wondering how it happened. Well when you hire pedophiles and do nothing to prevent children from being abused it’s about time for you to pay the piper. And I’m here to tell everyone what pieces of crap you are. It should come as no surprise, considering that the DSS / CPS runs the biggest child trafficking ring in the world. They take children from parents and some of these children are trafficked into the white slave rings overseas, wind up in snuff films, are used as test subjects for experiments, and all with the help of the government. They also drug up these children up on so many drugs that most of them die from them, just go look it up. It’s truly frightening the horror stories that I have heard. Now there are times that they actually do some good as there are children that do need to be taken from bad homes. But by in large they do more harm then good. Also it’s been reported that some of these foster homes these children are placed in are run by convicted pedophiles. I think that’s the big reason for this push we are seeing now about trying to make pedophilia legal, I mean just look at the crap over in the UK with the Jimmy Savile case. And them wanting to lower the age of consent to 13 so they won’t have to charge so many older men with being a pedophile, and with Florida also trying to get pedophile as a disorder or some stupid crap. These are just some of the many horror stories that are on the web. Just last week or so there was the couple in California who had their baby taken from them because they wanted a second opinion. So what good did it do to take that child, but leave children who were left for 24 days without any supervision? What good did it do to terrorize my son for months leaving the situation where I almost went to jail, lucky for me I kept my wits about me barely. What good is the DSS / CSP? As I said they might help a few children and they should help those who truly need it, there are children who need to be placed in a loving environment and get them help, but from what I have seen of this dis-organization it needs to be fixed or done away with. I’ll leave it at that for now, I’ll probably be touching on this subject again as more comes to light in the news as always Stay Tuned.

Danmarks Radio er på hælene eller det, der er værre, men hvordan kommer man bedst den lige så åbenlyst nødlidende som nødvendige mediemastodont til undsætning? Jeg kan ikke huske et tidspunkt, hvor der har været mere brug for en stærk leverandør af public service end nu, men jeg kan heller ikke erindre, at DR har fremstået så svagt som nu og har haft så mange fjender som netop nu. Problemet med DR lige nu er, at det er svært at elske en institution, der tilsyneladende hader sig selv så inderligt. Hvis man taler med fagmedarbejderne, DR’s publicistiske rygrad, oplever man kun opgivende miner og dyb frustration. Og vreden er ikke vendt mod DR’s ydre fjender, alle de skingre kommentatorer og politikere, der rutinemæssigt råber op, hvis institutionen drister sig til satire eller programindhold af den frisindede slags, men mod de indre forhold.

The pyramid watermelon - pointless, brilliant and Japanse of course And so we sally forth to Japan once again – this time those crazy kooks have been fiddle-diddling with God’s very own nature and breeding these pyramid-shaped watermelons. We don’t know ho many of them they’ve actually got but we do know that they’re only flogging 16 of them – and at only 52,500 yen (about £340) each, they’re not exactly your everyday melon. In keeping with the pyramid theme, they’ve been branded with King Tut stickers and you’ll feel like a dead, entombed Egyptian pharaoh if you eat one. Possibly. Oh, and for the first commenter who will ask if the girl comes with the watermelon – no, she does not. Although, now that we look more closely at the shape of it… 5 comments Changing the shape of spherical like fruits / veg actually has a shipping advantage - makes it easier to stack / less likely to get damaged en route. Im not sure genetically mutation is worth that ... but still They wrote the song "Jackie Big Tits" Anyhoo, they probably haven't genetically modified these melons. I reckon they've stuck them in a special pyramid casing whilst growing so that the fruit can only grow in one way. Next it'll be square potatoes, flat apples, and cucumbers with balls.
