women earn 38% less than men, and 10% more women say they are thriving than men. Any theories? Other fascinating findings from the Arab world : Across the Arab world, men's support for women's equal legal status and right to hold any job they are qualified for was positively linked to men's life evaluations, employment, and other measures of economic and social development. Gallup also found that there is no link between men's support for Sharia as the only source of legislation and antagonism toward equal rights for women. If the economy continues to suffer, women's rights may as well. This suggests that economic trouble may be a greater threat to women's rights than public support for religious legislation. Now the standard NGO response to reading something 'counterintuitive' -- i.e. we would rather it wasn't true -- is to question the methodology. But unless you really are an ubergeek, I would strongly advise against taking Gallup on. Like I said, they are scary, as is their readiness to get down and dirty on methodology.

Easy Installer hunts down your downloaded app-install files (*.apk) so it's very useful if you can't find one that you know you downloaded. Amazon's appstore should be supported though Of course, if Amazon carries the app, it's best to get it from Amazon because they do a strong vetting of the apps they offer and because it's the way they make revenue from tablets sold at cost.

22 December 2010 Population: the conversation we have to have This month's ruling by the High Court on the offshore detention processing of asylum seekers and Immigration Minister Chris Bowen's changes to the skilled migration program intake will start another shrill and confusing conversation between our political leaders that will yet again leave Australians confused and divided about the critical issue of population policy. The Australian community has not reached a consensus on our population. Governments have not explained to us what our population will look like and why. Without this consensus governments will struggle to implement policies, like responding to climate change and using water, that essentially rely on the rationing of resources. Running focus groups across the country on precisely these issues over the last five years has shown me the yawning chasm between those trying to pull the policy levers and the general community. The briefs prepared by the Treasury for an incoming government called for strong population growth. The business community likewise wants to see an increase in numbers. This is in stark contrast to community attitudes I see around the country. Talking to Australians you quickly realise how hard it is to build support for household water restrictions when at the same time you have failed to explain why the number of households is increasing. It is equally hard to ask Australians to consume less energy when our policy settings are increasing the number of energy consumers year in, year out. Our politicians have in | IP | IP ED | 772,075 |
when they weren't funny any more, they were made to feel it. Have any of your other works brought people together this way? In Horizon Field Hamburg , we create a space for 100 people on an unstable, reflective black platform hanging 7.5 m off the ground from eight 22-millimetre cables. It is a very destabilising and disorientating experience, but it's important that it is so. How does the platform affect people? Some people seem to be highly physical, doing cartwheels and yoga and Pilates and a whole load of other things - trying, for instance, to stand when the whole platform is oscillating, and even managing to do so - while others lie and watch or simply meditate on the experience of being in, but not of, the world. The platform creates the experience of the space at large - space as an expanding condition - and the social nature of space. They can look out of the windows at a distant horizon where the cityscape and the sky interact. They can also sense the collective movement, because every footfall, every movement of everybody on that platform is transmitted through this thin, tensile surface. Why destabilise people? I use shock tactics, but only to the extent of putting somebody in a position of reflexivity to create a point at which value might arise. I don't want to illustrate things that are already known.

equally well, as soon as the players are accustomed to them. The task of transmuting human nature must not be confused with the task of managing it. Though in the ideal commonwealth men may have been taught or inspired or bred to take no interest in the stakes, it may still be wise and prudent statesmanship to allow the game to be played, subject to rules and limitations, so long as the average man, or even a significant section of the community, is in fact strongly addicted to the money-making passion. II There is, however, a second, much more fundamental inference from our argument which has a bearing on the future of inequalities of wealth; namely, our theory of the rate of interest. The justification for a moderately high rate of interest has been found hitherto in the necessity of providing a sufficient inducement to save. But we have shown that the extent of effective saving is necessarily determined by the scale of investment and that the scale of investment is promoted by a low rate of interest, provided that we do not attempt to stimulate it in this way beyond the point which corresponds to full employment. Thus it is to our best advantage to reduce the rate of interest to that point relatively to the schedule of the marginal efficiency of capital at which there is full employment. There can be no doubt that this criterion will lead to a much lower rate of interest than has ruled | IN | IN RA | 304,046 |

part for their contribution to students' standardized test scores. The EPI series on Alternative Teacher Compensation Systems is aimed at informing the different stakeholders in education -- policy makers, school officials, teachers, parents, and the general public -- of the nature and consequences of instituting pay-for-performance in education. The series brings together experts from education and the social sciences to analyze key aspects of these policies. The first report in this series (Adams, Heywood, and Rothstein 2009), published earlier this year, looked at the use of performance-based compensation and evaluation outside of education. In that report, economists Scott Adams and John Heywood argued that performance-based pay tied to narrow measures of job performance are not nearly as ubiquitous as common wisdom suggests. Formulaic rewards based on narrow quantitative indicators -- like the ones often proposed by education reformers -- are important in only a small fraction of professional occupations and are concentrated in real estate, sales, and especially the financial sector (which in retrospect has not worked out so well). Richard Rothstein highlighted pervasive evidence of distortions and gaming behaviors in other sectors of the economy, both public and private, that have relied on strict quantity indicators for pay-for-performance to improve outcomes. Rothstein concluded that such problems are particularly severe in sectors like education, where output is difficult to measure and collaboration is essential.

Israeli PM lauds partnership with U.S., scolds local opponents JERUSALEM, Nov, 8 (Xinhua) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday chided political opponents who said he had interfered in the U.S. presidential elections, and stressed solid ties between the two nations. Speaking at a cornerstone-laying ceremony for a new hospital in coastal Ashdod, Netanyahu said that "One of the foundations of our security is the brave partnership between us and the United States. " Terming the relationship between the two allies as "a strategic partnership," Netanyahu said "We have cooperation in all areas but especially in the security sphere." Netanyahu said cooperation between the two was "deep, broad and fundamental," and added that he would continue to work with U.S. President Barack Obama "in order to advance the vital interests of the State of Israel regarding the security of Israel's citizens." But, turning to local political rivals, he said, "In recent days, I have been hearing voices -- that are coming from among us - - that are trying to stir things up between us and United States," adding "This will not help them." On Wednesday, former prime minister Ehud Olmert slammed Netanyahu's seeming support for Mitt Romney, Obama's opponent in the hard-fought race -- particularly during a visit by the Republican candidate to Israel this summer. Political analysts are debating if Olmert will decide to run as leader or part of a potential center-left bloc in the upcoming national elections on Jan. 22, 2013.

white people at the time who believed African Americans should have full equality. The quotation is from the 4th Lincoln-Douglas debate, which was held in Charleston. What follows it is quite interesting as well: "I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied every thing. I do not understand that because I do not want a negro woman for a slave I must necessarily want her for a wife. My understanding is that I can just let her alone. I am now in my fiftieth year, and I certainly never have had a black woman for either a slave or a wife. So it seems to me quite possible for us to get along without making either slaves or wives of negroes. I will add to this that I have never seen, to my knowledge, a man, woman or child who was in favor of producing a perfect equality, social and political, between negroes and white men." You've got it upside down. To the very last moment (spring 1865), Lincoln was seen by the radical Republicans as soft on slavery, and very non-absolutist. Can't remember the exact date in '65, but even then he said effectively that if South just gives up, US govt will buy all their slaves (and free them), as it'd be cheaper than running the war (which at the time was $4m per day, by some measures equivalent to 6bn | OP | OP OB | 1,406,915 |
one of them. There are plenty of self-identified casual players who go out to FNM each week, or to a Wednesday night draft, simply looking for another way to enjoy the game. With exposure to the competitive crowd, some players adjust their preconceptions about Magic, and turn to competitive play themselves. Some don't care to, and they retain their "innocence." This is the first time our town has participated in league play in the time I've been playing here -- which is almost two decades. There has been no other series of tournaments that has exposed the same volume of players to the competitive environment, and league play did so with the illusion of a level playing field. In essence, that's the draw that you need to bring less experienced tournament-goers into the fold -- a fair fight. With every player on the same footing (the intro packs should ostensibly be of similar power level), there's no one who has the ability to out-spend the other participants and create a better card pool with their wallet. With the random addition of cards into a secure pool, there's both the chance for them to get very lucky and for the opponent to get unlucky. There are no netdecks, and there aren't strange skills to learn outside the scope of the kitchen table environment -- like signaling, pick orders, or metagaming. You pick a deck you like, and you see if you can pull some cards to make it a little better. | IN | IN DT | 3,231,388 |
private health plans and establish a publicly administered system. In response to the libertarian view: 1) We are already spending more than enough to provide all necessary health care services to everyone, and 2) The majority of Americans believe that everyone should be able to obtain necessary health care without having to face financial hardship. The goal then is not only to have everyone covered with insurance, but also to make sure that insurance is effective in preventing the consequences of medical debt. We have a rapidly expanding epidemic of underinsurance, and the proposals of libertarians would expose the majority of us to the potential of excessive medical debt were we to develop significant medical problems. Policies with affordable premiums work for those who remain healthy, but most of health care spending is for those with major acute and chronic problems. The deregulated insurance plans and HS As proposed by libertarians cannot ever effectively address the problem of how we are going to pay for most of the health care in this nation. The most efficient and effective system would be to establish a single risk pool covering everyone, and fund it equitably. The libertarians do have a problem with "equitable." That would require a transfer from the healthy to those with greater health care needs. But the United States has an additional unique problem.

When you benchmark your page with your competitor's one, raw numbers aren't enough. Let's say you have 100,000 fans and your competitor has 500,000. Are you hopeless and your competitor pure genius?

That would explain why it has 5 more times fans than you do. How can you find out the day a Page was created ?

refuse to negotiate a two-state solution and indeed, Israelis, increasingly, have begun calling for Israel to put Judea and Samaria under Israeli law and eventually annex both into a "reconstituted" Israel on all the land comprising the original Kingdom of Israel. This is an idea that many Palestinians have advocated, but Israelis had always dismissed on the belief that the supposedly larger Palestinian population and birthrate would quickly make Jews a minority and spell the end of Israel. But in recent years, it has become increasingly evident that, in fact, Israel has the higher birthrate. Where Jews used to be the majority in Israel, they are the majority in all the land between the Mediterranean and the Jordan. By the year 2031, Jews will be 80% of the population. Given that Israel manages quite well today with a 75% Jewish majority, there will be no reason for her not to expand Israel all the way to the Jordan. The Palestinians clearly think that time is on their side; if they do not come to terms with the Israelis, they will learn, soon enough, that it is not. Here's Hamas charter for you.

a rise for a number of years. It is primarily the rapidity of the appreciation that was unexpected. A major reason that witnesses expected a rise in the exchange rate is the view that the Canadian dollar has been undervalued relative to the U.S. dollar for some time. Andrew Sharpe (Executive Director, Centre for the Study of Living Standards) stated that, according to the notion of purchasing power parity (PPP) -- a measure of the long-term equilibrium value of the exchange rate at which the price of goods and services in two countries are approximately equal -- the Canadian dollar is worth about 84 or 85 cents US. Other witnesses proposed different measures of what the "appropriate" level of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar should be in the near term. John Anania and Jim Stanford (Economist, Canadian Auto Workers) both stated that unit labour costs in Canada and the US were about equal when the Canadian dollar was in the low 70-cent range while George Vasic (Chief Canadian Economist, UBS Securities Canada Inc.) suggested that a trade-weighted basket of Canadian commodity exports indicated a similar value for the doll ar. Of all the witnesses appearing before the Committee, not one suggested that economic forces would push the Canadian dollar back to the 63-cent range in the foreseeable future.( [4] ) The main reason for this belief is the view that, while Canadian economic conditions are much improved today compared to the mid-1990s, the appreciation in the Canadian | IN | IN | 21,314 |

in the late 18th century. Invisible and undetected, pathogens likely borne on trade goods or carried by asymptomatic traders themselves unleashed the first of what would prove to be several waves of deadly plague -- including but probably not limited to smallpox -- which devastated river and coastal communities. In 1775, the first Europeans to visit the coast of what would become British Columbia were Spanish explorers led by Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra who reached the site of present-day Sitka, Alaska. But it was the English, who arrived a few year's later under Captain George Vancouver, who would stay to make the coast and eventually the interior a colony of the British Crown. In 1843, Hudson Bay Company fur-trader James Douglas established a trading post at the southern tip of the coast's biggest island, naming it Fort Victoria after the newly crowned Queen. Twenty-eight years later, it became the capital of the new Canadian province of British Columbia.

Let's theorize for a moment that about half the people in the world need to start exercising more; three hours a week. I'm saying half to discount those who already do manual labor for a living (and those of you who think manual labor keeps you trim and fit haven't been to a job site lately), and those who are fortunate enough to enjoy incorporating physical activities into their lives.

Real Business If a company sees you as a fly-by-night freelancer, it may not pay you as promptly as it would a real business. That's not fair, but does happen. So make the right impression by making your invoices look "Fortune 500 professional". There are plenty of excellent invoice templates, software and online invoicing services that will enable you to do this. I've heard that FreshBooks is very good. QuickBooks, too. 7. Make It Easy For Clients To Pay You Send your invoices promptly. (Remarkably, some freelancers don't!) Make sure your invoice includes all the information the client needs, such as the project name, reference number, purchase order numbers, etc. Also, accept PayPal and credit cards. You can do that simply by setting up a PayPal merchant account -- which is free. 8. Follow Up the First Day Your Invoice Is Overdue As soon as your invoice is due -- say, 31 days after you've sent it -- call your client or the accounts payable contact. Ask about the status of the invoice and when you can expect to receive payment. Don't settle for vague assurances like, "A check will be cut in a couple of weeks." Get an exact date.

Tips for Storing Cookies How to Store and Keep your Cookies Fresh You have spent the afternoon baking and your kitchen is overflowing. But unless you intend eating them all at once, (a tempting thought I'll admit) you will need to store your baked goodies to keep them as fresh as possible. Fortunately most cookies are easily stored. The key to storing cookies is to choose an airtight container. This could be either a jar or tin with a tight-fitting lid, or a sturdy plastic container with an airtight lid. Of course different types need to be stored differently. Delicate ones, such as decorated sugar cookies will need to be treated more carefully than say chocolate chip. If stored correctly most cookies will retain their taste and texture for up to a week. Tips for Storing Cookies Always allow to cool completely before storing. They can be stored in glass or ceramic jars, cookie tins or plastic containers, any container really as long as it has a tight fitting lid. If you are unsure about the fit of the lid, put the cookies in a sealed plastic bag first. Separate the soft ones from the crisp ones to prevent them becoming soggy. Store different flavored and strong flavored cookies separately. Unfilled cookies will keep up to a week if stored in an airtight container. Filled cookies, however, should be eaten as soon as possible to avoid becoming soggy. If fillings contain any dairy products they will need to be refrigerated | HI | HI HT | 583,612 |

of using Windows. My gut feeling was that there were words and options there inside the colour purple, I just couldn't see them. So I turned on the Windows screen reader -- that program that sight impaired people use to work with user interfaces -- and installed Windows 8 without seeing a single command. I'm kind of proud of myself...the kind of pride that only Windows users get to experience when they defeat Windows' attempts to send them insane. So what's Windows 8 like? Well, it's definitely faster than Windows 7 -- it starts up quicker, and closes in seconds. The biggest change, of course, is the new Start screen and the related Metro UI and Windows Apps. This is a big change -- probably the biggest change since the introduction of Windows 95. The Metro UI isn't just an update to the Windows desktop...it's something new altogether. In fact, the old Windows Desktop is still there and still runs all your old Windows programs. With Windows 8, it's like you have two user interfaces in one. There's the new Metro UI with its tiles and apps, and the legacy Windows Desktop with its files and programs. JJ's super cool new Start screen with its tiles and apps...

If you are alone and you don't know who the person is, don't tell them no-one is home or your husband is working, etc. Always pretend someone else is there. Use wisdom and good old-fashioned common sense ! Be safe! If the call is for someone else, say something such as; "One moment please, I'll just go and call them for you."

If you must carry on two conversations at once you should always excuse yourself from one and resume it later. Say, "I'm sorry, can you hold on a minute; my boss is telling me something," and wait for the person's answer. If the personal conversation will last more than a minute, it would be better to ask, "Can I call you back? My mother needs to talk to me and it may take a few minutes."

I have awakened her when the sky was at its blackest, all stars erased, no moon to speak of, and led her down the front path to our dock, where we'd swim to the raft, finding it by touch fifty or sixty strokes from shore. And sit listening to things, the movement of water around us drawing us closer, a hunched double knot of child and father hearing all there is to hear, close beneath bats who see without sight, whose hunger is fed by darkness. The neighbors see her often in the woods, on hands and knees, smoothing the moss where it spreads in the shade, marvelling at the tongues of birds, the stained petal of the dogwood, the vein of color skirting the edge of an upturned stone. This morning she awoke to the first flash of the magnolia, and will save the petals as they fall, their purpled lids curling white on the lawn. We meant to tell her how the rainbows come, how they close into shadows, how we would be there nonetheless; we meant to tell her before they arrived at supper this evening, rimming everything in sight. She wonders if we see them cupping the stars, the kitchen lamp, each other's face, and we say we do.

4 was made by the same guy who created the series. There are pros and cons to all of the perspectives. Games tend to go for tighter cameras for immersion, since they cannot fully commit to the first person perspective which is arguably the most immersive but has limitations. An over the shoulder camera makes the game more intimate, and while with fixed camera perspective there is a lot of control for the developer over what the player sees and doesn't see(and it's good to take control away from players in a survival horror), it has limitations like the connection to the player character and movement and gameplay that can lead to frustration and more of a feeling of futility than horror. At least that's my experience with the fixed camera perspective, i havent played the old resident evils. The over the shoulder camera is different in many ways, players do have more control but it can also leave them constantly wondering what's behind them and what they're missing. They control what they see so they should always be worrying about what they aren't looking at. And like i said, you dont get to decide whether it's Resident evil or not. Oh and IS DEAD SPACE SCARY?

By 2100, the world that these children's children will inhabit may need 30 or 40 trillion watts. And to prevent massive greenhouse build-up, most of this must be carbon-free.

If you confront the problem honestly - I mean, if you really look at the problem, and you say, "What I want to do is I want to stabilize the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at some level twice the pre-industrial level of CO2 - it's almost impossible to do that unless there is a truly massive transition in the global energy system away from fossil fuels.

an advance in the scale of civilization and taken their place in the world of harmony. Then the conclusions of my speculation on the probable cause of this evident similarity between the chorus melodies of the sailor and the negro were something like these?First, the similarity of the object; that is, the unifying of effort in labor, and thus to secure simultaneous action, as in rowing, pulling, hoeing, &c., &c., by the measured and rythmical occurrence of vowel sounds. Was not "Jim along Jo" recognized as a minstrel tune then? I'm not sure. Perhaps, again, minstrelsy took it from the folk tradition -- and that tradition may have been of (or shared with) a work-song. There is the idea (not here) that "Jim along Jo" is the same framework as "Haul Away Joe." Their prosody matches exactly. Interesting, too, that Cecil Sharp later uses "Haul Away Joe" as an example to argue why not many chanty tunes are of African-American origin. Well, he might be right. The tune might be of an Irish character, say. Of course, my take on this is that to say African-American means to imply a culture that had already absorbed influences from English, Irish, etc. African-Americans' songs are not expected to have come from Africa (just as the language is a dialect of English); what is relevant is who was singing these melodies/songs during the time under question.

I personally like to think of each box as being worth at least $1,000,000. Yes, that's correct: one million dollars. Because, that's what it might cost to go through the process of obtaining new copies of the original contents of a missing box from third parties. In addition, with the new age of occupational health and safety (OH&S), it is essential that all potential hazards, such as those that are caused by archive boxes being left lying around an office, are eradicated.

The first, and by far the most important, item to look at is the archive box where these significant documents will reside. To most, it's all about price. How much are the boxes going to cost? It is also, however, worth considering how long you require the box to last for. If you only need to keep the records for a year or two, you may be able to get away with a cheap box that has a loose lid and a folding bottom, but if you need the records for any longer than two years, you need to consider several things.

is 'Is it in the children's best interests to see their father?' It is not easy terminating contact because ad hoc contact for children may still be better than no contact at all. You need to trust your judgement. If you feel that they are happier not seeing him because they are always being let down then suggest no contact until he cooperates with a contact plan. Perhaps try giving him some times for contact and telling him that no other dates will be permitted without prior agreement. The difficulty I suspect, is when the children disagree with you because they want to see him. No maintenance is very frustrating but not a reason to deny contact.

Subsequent testing by the F.D.A. found that some vials were superpotent, containing 640 percent of the drug listed on the label, while others were subpotent. K V Pharmaceuticals, a drug company in St. Louis, did not rely on the government to assess the quality of compounded drugs that competed with its F.D.A.-approved product, Makena, used to reduce the risk of premature birth. K V hired a corporate intelligence firm to obtain and test samples of the compounded version, 17P, for potency and purity. In January, the company's researchers published their findings, alleging that 80 percent of the drug did not meet purity specifications. Michael J. Jozwiakowski, a co-author of the study, said the only companies they could find that manufactured the active pharmaceutical ingredient, available to compounders, were Chinese companies not registered with the F.D.A. One sample contained nothing but glucose. When the F.D.A. was given the data last fall, the agency decided to take its own samples of the compounded version, prompting the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, the trade organization, to offer its members advice on how to respond to F.D.A. requests, in an e-mailed member alert titled, "F.D.A.

The result is a compelling picture of true spiritual intimacy with God. Have modern believers grown too comfortable with God? In response to the unbiblical, mystical spirituality of our day, Michael Horton calls for a return to the teaching of the Apostle Paul and the early church. The result is a compelling picture of true spiritual intimacy with God. Editorial Reviews From Library Journal Author of several books on evangelicalism (Made in America: The Shaping of Modern American Evangelism, Baker Bk. House, 1995), Horton laments the lack of interest that evangelical Christians show in the biblical message of the cross: that salvation comes to sinners via Christ's death and resurrection, not through individual efforts to find salvation through personal experience. Horton traces every malaise that plagues modern Christianity to the influence of ancient Gnosticism. For example, he broadly condemns contemporary Christian pop music, materialism, and reliance on technology because he sees gnostic seeds in these developments; he doesn't, however, attempt to examine how these relate to the complexity of changing needs within Christian culture. His book makes an appeal to Christians to return to lives based on a biblical perspective, but it will disappoint thoughtful believers with its heavy-handed generalizations. Not recommended.

expensive testing equipment, inpatient beds, and specialists has been the key to cost containment in successful single payer systems. Adopting a Blue Cross or other private insurer's benefits package would be a serious error. Our studies (together with Elizabeth Warren) have found that three quarters of those bankrupted by illness or medical bills were privately insured. Since Blue Cross was the dominant insurer in several of the states we have studied, it is clear that its benefit package left a very large number of its enrollees vulnerable to medical bankruptcy. Medicare also provides a simple model for the enrollment process. It uses the Social Security records to identify all eligible persons. Since Social Security maintains current addresses for registered individual, gleaning a list of the vast majority of state residents eligible for a state single payer system should be simple, leaving only the task of enrolling the relatively small number of individuals without Social Security numbers. Paying providers should also be simple if a single payer plan is properly structured, and here too Medicare provides much of the needed infrastructure. Medicare has collected detailed financial data for decades from every hospital, home care agency and dialysis center. Hence, determining these institutions global budgets should be a fairly simple matter. Virtually every outpatient fee-for-service provider also has a UPIN number. Of course, Medicare also has an extensive infrastructure for disbursing payments to fee-for-service providers. So the only substantive administrative task needed to implement a single payer system on the outpatient side | HI | HI FH | 570,618 |

you. When I left the park I could see a dry procession necromancing from the swamp. I saw skeletons clothed in tattered football jerseys, dragging water-stained brass instruments like rusty coppered piping, they lifted these to their placid faces and wheezed yellow notes from their depths. Then I looked down at my hands and saw that I was a skeleton and I walked among them suppressing screams inside my ribcage and we marched. Still marching, I awoke early and approached a gate feeling it resonate with the hum of skeletons and the iron bars and the plopping raindrops fat like corn oil, there were translucent newts clinging to the bars, their little toes were polyped mushrooms. The rain was ubiquitous. The newts crawled hypnotically in circles, and there was wispyness in the trails of their tails. I felt happy the way a voodoo doll feels happy. I lived in a wooden room on a shelf where a woman kept me with her knick-knack fetishes. Sometimes she would lift me to her and I would feel her beating heart against my sweat and hair and bone. Her voice was ancient and brittle, and she whispered bestial magic mantras into my ear and I listened transfixed on the utterances of her polyrhythms.

By segmenting yourselves away from the male population you're doing exactly what you've hated men for doing in the past. I don't ask for post highlighting women to stop. I ask for posts and statements claiming that women deserve x, y, and z to stop. I ask for people to stop featuring people because they are female, instead featuring people for their skill. I ask for people to stop attaching photos of women to these posts with no examples of their work. If you stop this then perhaps people will finally treat you as equals within this industry. But if you continue to set yourselves apart, then how can they? I'm not looking for a fight. I'm not looking to cause controversy. I just genuinely believe that women should be treated exactly as men are. But to do that we need to stop defining our professional selves by our gender.

Issue 43 Forensics Fall 2011 Our Aesthetic Categories: An Interview with Sianne Ngai Adam Jasper and Sianne Ngai Aesthetics as a philosophical discipline was an invention of the Enlightenment, and appropriately enough, most of the historical discussion has focused on the beautiful and the sublime. However, as J. L. Austin noted in "A Plea for Excuses," the classic problems are not always the best site for fieldwork in aesthetics: "If only we could forget for a while about the beautiful and get down instead to the dainty and the dumpy." Sianne Ngai, a professor in the English department at Stanford University, has dedicated years of research to such marginal categories within aesthetics. She is the author of a book on minor affects called Ugly Feelings (Harvard University Press, 2005) and several heavily photocopied papers on aesthetics, including "The Cuteness of the Avant-Garde" (2005) and "Merely Interesting" (2008). Her forthcoming book expands her investigation of apparently trivial but culturally ubiquitous aesthetic categories to include the zany. Adam Jasper interviewed Ngai by email. You've written on cuteness, on envy, on boredom, and now on the interesting. If it could be said that there is a unified project behind these topics, what is it? I'm interested in states of weakness: in "minor" or non-cathartic feelings that index situations of suspended agency; in trivial aesthetic categories grounded in ambivalent or even explicitly contradictory feelings. More specifically, I'm interested in the surprising power these weak affects and aesthetic categories seem to have, in why they've | SP | SP IT | 479,238 |

Political polls also try to measure how voters are reacting to candidates in political campaigns and what issues are important to them in elections. Collecting Survey Data How did you get my number? Most good telephone surveys of the general public use what is called a random digit dial (or "RDD") sampling technique to generate the sample of phone numbers used in the survey. The goal is to ensure that your telephone has the same chance of being dialed as any other telephone in the United States.

Once numbers are selected through random digit dialing , the process of selecting respondents is different for landline and cell phone numbers.

people need to be murdered in order for the offender to be classed as a serial killer. The FBI stipulates three or more separate incidents whereas Dietz (1986) argues that a minimum of 5 victims constitutes a serial killer. Hickey (1991), Holmes and Holmes (1998), and Egger (1997) all define serial murder as the killing of three or more people over a period of time. Fox and Levine (1999 cited in Smith & Zahn) indicate that there needs to be 4 or more murders to be called a serial crime. For the purpose of this study a serial murder will be defined as a specific type of homicide involving the murder of two or more persons in separate incidents with an interval of time between the homicides. The interval can be several hours, days, weeks months or even years. The main point when defining a serial murder is that the series of murders do not share in the events surrounding one another Investigation of a Serial Crime Given the nature of serial murder there is a need for law enforcement agencies to approach this area differently to other forms of homicide. This type of crime creates much fear and panic within society and therefore it is crucial that prompt and well-coordinated measures be taken by law enforcement agencies to assist in the tracking of serial murderers.

When the price of cattle, for example, rises so high that it is as profitable to cultivate land in order to raise food for them, as in order to raise food for man, it cannot well go higher. If it did, more corn land would soon be turned into pasture.

Mountain Ash tree seems to be dying - why? I have a 30 yrs old Mountain Ash tree that has always been an attractive specimen in my back yard then all of a sudden in mid July - the leaves of 2/3's of the tree started to turn brown and the beautiful red berries looked dehydrated. The tree looks like if it's dying. 1/3 of the tree is green and healthy but the rest....awful!!! What can I do to save my tree?? I would be grateful for any advice that will help me. Follow-Up Postings: RE: Mountain Ash tree seems to be dying - why? That doesn't sound promising :-(. 25-30 years is an average lifespan for a Mountain Ash - sounds like yours is on the far side of average. They can live to be 50-70 years under ideal conditions (acidic, peaty soil with excellent drainage), but most of us don't have those idea conditions - especially those of us in southern Ontario and Quebec. Probably it is old and weak and something stressed it beyond its ability to thrive (insects, rot, fungus...). Given its age, and the fact that 2/3 of it is dying, I'd say it's best to hire an arborist to come take it down and replace it with a new tree. One of the reason Mountain Ash is so popular is because it's a fast growing tree (that also means it's a short lived tree). A new one will quickly grow to a nice height. | ID | ID QA | 771,762 |

difficult, indeed, sometimes impossible. Therefore whilst women make up a small percentage of serial killers, the significance may have increased over the years sufficiently to warrant this publication and classification devoted solely to the phenomenon of the female serial killer. Is There a Need for a Multidisciplinary Approach? According to Mitchell, (1996) serial murder is a crime that has failed to secure a much needed multi disciplinary research program. There are various theses on the etiology of serial murder most of which choose to align with the psychiatric, sociological or biological explanation. Rarely has connections been made between theories in unrelated academic areas and thus no coherent multidisciplinary model to drive research into serial murder has been forthcoming. According to Holmes and Holmes (1996) the reason for the interest in serial murder is due to the fact that the prevalence of serial crime seems to be on the increase. Contrastingly, Fox and Levin (1999 cited in Smith and Zahn) state that there may actually be more scholars studying serial murder than there are offenders committing it. Hickey (1997) estimates that 2526 to 3860 victims of 399 serial killers exist between the years 1800 and 1995. He further notes that between 1975 and 1995 there were less than one hundred victims of serial murder a year, and that serial homicides make up less than 1% of US homicides. With such contrasting figures it must be the intention of aspiring criminologists to further review data and continue research in the area . | IN | IN RA | 614,015 |
Most of us are adults here. We know when we want to surrender. If 4 people want to give up at the 10 minute mark, why do you not let them? I am sick of getting stuck in games with an AFK or intentional feeder and having to sit through 20 minutes of that ****. Most people play for the competitiveness of the game and these kind of situations are never competitive. Life is more important than the game, so I can't hate on someone who has to go AFK. It happens... But I do hate that I have to sit through a grueling 20 minutes + queue time + champ select time when there is literally no chance of winning. And then we have the guy who goes 0/9 within 10 minutes of the game and feeds the carry or jungle. Again.. It happens. By why make us sit through another 10 minutes while the other team laughs and scorns you? (note these are for 5's. Don't know if rebalancing is needed for other maps) This way, if the players just want to quit so that they can go to the next game, there will be some incentive to actually sticking around and trying to win. Besides, if you have a valid reason for going AFK (and valid reasons do exist cause life IS more important than a game), than a 20min no game won't affect those who genuinely needed to leave, but will penalize the trolls and quitters. | ID | ID DF | 616,485 |
Turks launched a major counter-attack, but by this time the Australian and New Zealand troops had had time to prepare proper defensive positions and the resultant slaughter of the Turkish forces is thought to have left 10 000 men dead or wounded. The stench of the dead bodies was so great that on 24 May a formal truce was declared to allow the Turkish dead to be buried. This was the last time that the Turkish forces attempted a major counter-offensive. With the failure of the May counter-attack things quietened down until August, when British troops landed at nearby Suvla, and the Anzacs and Gurkhas made supporting attacks at Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair and the Nek. In The August Offensive at Anzac Robin Prior takes a new look at the strategy underlying the series of attacks at places such as Lone Pine, Nek, Chunuk Bair, Hill Q and Hill 971. (Wartime, vol. 47, 2009). The Battle for Lone Pine began on 6 August. The Lone Pine operation was planned as a diversion to draw Turkish reserves away from a major British attack to be launched at the northern end of the Australian and New Zealand position at Gallipoli. The Australians suffered more than 2200 casualties at Lone Pine and the Turks over 5000. Historian Peter Burness describes the battle and sets it in context in this article in Wartime. Seven Australians were awarded the Victoria Cross for their bravery at Lone Pine. They are: Alexander Stewart BURTON, William DUNSTAN, John | IN | IN | 781,389 |
views that have been expressed by the right hon. Gentleman with regard to what can happen during the period of a five-year Government. He said that he did not desire to suffer under a dictatorship, be it of Hitler or Attlee. We have suffered under the dictatorships of Baldwin and Chamberlain -- -- for some reason or other I always appear to be most provocative to him in encouraging him to make replies. The position for which we ask is the position which was established by the Act of 1911 as laid down by the right hon. Gentlemen in the Debate on 7th August, 1911. We seek no privilege, we desire to obtain no handicap, we look for no facility which the Conservative Party have not already, and have not long, enjoyed. All we seek, all we ask, all we demand, all we are willing to take, is political equality for all parties in the State. We wish to be placed by the Constitution in exactly the same position as is the Conservative Party. We wish that our House of Commons shall have the same powers they have always enjoyed. We think that the millions of electors whom we represent are entitled to be admitted to as full and responsible citizenship, are just as competent to return Governments with plenary powers as the millions of electors whom we freely admit support hon.

The Block started opening for me on the first round of the tour, I think that opened my eyes a lot, too, because I saw so much how they would nurture their ideas rather than squash them. Sometimes their ideas were outlandish and it was, "We will get there, but we're not there now. But that's a good idea a year from now." A lot of people around me made me feel silly to be saying things, or just didn't listen. So I kind of knew that wasn't going to work in a long-term career. When I finally started working on the New Inside project and "New Inside" itself, that's exactly what the song is about. Of course, we made it about a love relationship, but the song is really more about busting down those walls, changing things, being open-minded, pushing yourself a little bit and being a little "new inside." Of course, I come in with dark hair and lipstick and all these different things representing that album to my label, and they were horrified . [Laughs.] They were scared to death. I was really thrilled that Donnie [Wahlberg] became a part of that project, and I worked with some great people. Phillip Damien was awesome. I think he vocally took me to a whole different level.

tuition allowance, and other funds to cover certain educational expenses. The students generally complete the first two years of the medical school curriculum in standard fashion, and then spend the next three or more years immersed in their doctoral studies. Once they have completed virtually all of the requirements for the PhD degree, they reenter the medical school to complete the last two years of the course of study leading to the MD degree. At the time of graduation, therefore, they receive both an MD and a PhD. The survey results reported by Ahn and colleagues reveal that many of the respondents (44%) did not intend to pursue research as their primary professional activity once they completed all of their training. While it is true that the majority expressed a desire to have a career in academic medicine, they were primarily interested in activities related to patient care, and they saw themselves as being involved in research in a limited way. These results certainly suggest that the current programs are not likely to be highly successful in producing a cadre of physician scientists committed to careers in fundamental research. Based on these results, the authors conclude that if the societal investment supporting MD-PhD joint-degree programs is to reap the expected rewards (presumably a high percentage of graduates pursuing research on a full-time basis), improvements are needed in the design of the training programs. I've thought for some time that the design of the programs is flawed, largely because of my | IN | IN RA | 116,584 |
I've been trying to figure out what I want. I am in a great position to change everything about myself and my life if I so choose and I have been trying to figure it out. I am considering whether further study is the way to go, staying in this town, moving somewhere, meeting someone/having a relationship, staying in this job, going self-employed etc etc. I just can't get purchase on my wants. So finally, I asked Yi: What do I want my life to be like? and Yi answered 54.1.2. > 16 Bit confused. Lines here both talk about someone who is handicapped in some way but manages to carry on with a smile on their face. I don't want to be handicapped but maybe I am and maybe that is all I want - to enjoy living my life, have success and fun in spite of my shortcomings. Edit: and the whole of 54 with its emphasis on not action has got me puzzled. Although it resonates neatly with my desperate need to not make the same mistakes again.. Hello Precision Grace. Are you trying to figure out what your lodestar is? 54, as we all know and you mentioned, clearly says not to undertake anything. But also is about maintaining ones position.

Line 2 mentions a person who is partially blind, and someone who is loyal to them anyway. | ID | ID DF | 451,912 |

thoughts would be welcome. What an awful dilemma for you,and how anxious it must make you with a toddler around. Can the dog not be kept in another room with a gate between him and the baby? Obviously you cant keep an eye on both 24/7 but dogs can and do inflict nasty bites. Im fortunate my dog is great with my grandchildren but they are older. Babies dont understand about giving a dog space. If it came down to the baby or the dog then personally it would have to be the dog.As hard as that decision would be the baby needs to be kept safe. Have you thought of buying a soft muzzle for when he's around the baby that may be your answer. Im sure more experienced dog owners will have advice for you. Has he been checked over by a vet, in case there is some underlying condition causing the aggression...? Dogs in pain can sometimes display problem behaviours. Your vet should also do blood tests - there are other folk on here who will no doubt offer more detail on the specific tests needed. Assuming all is fine physically, then a trainer or behaviourist should be your next step. Someone experienced who ONLY uses positive methods. Stay away from anyone who talks about being 'alpha' or 'pack leader'! Once someone experienced has assessed your dog, you will have a clearer picture of whether the problem can be 'solved' or managed. I wish you the best | ID | ID DF | 778,417 |
Ethnic Cultures newsletter Related topics In an article on Nov. 10, 2012 NewKerala.com has reported: One Direction off to White House to sing for Obama's girls. It looks like the British band One Direction is ready to go to the White House to play a special gig for President Obama's daughters. The Daily Star has reported the President and First Lady Michelle Obama are reported to have invited the band to the White House as a special thanks to the Obama girls for their help during the election campaign. Both 14 year-old Malia Obama and 11 year-old Sasha Obama are said to be big fans of One Direction. A source which is close to One Direction has said that Michelle Obama has been in touch herself to ask the band to appear at the White House. Earlier in the year Michelle had invited them to appear at the White House, but they could not fit that into their busy schedule at the time. FirstPost has also reported on this story on Nov. 10, 2012: Will British boy band One Directions play for Obama's daughters? A source has said, "It's an open invitation for a date to be arranged that fits in with everyone's busy schedules." The source has also been quoted as saying, "It's not every parent who can invite the hottest band in the world to their home. They will be the envy of girls across the world."

would like to work: 6 months to 2 years and no more! That is exactly what most of French do. In five years, their number has trebled (from 119,500 in 2005 to 310,000 to 2010). Nevertheless, you need to know that reasons for working are different according to any pensioner in question. Some find ??fun?? to be paid for a part-time job with wages practically equivalent to those they received when they were working before being retired. Others enjoy their particular status: e.g. sole trader. On the one hand, proof is your finances are better on the long term for your pensions, even if they remain slight. Moreover a pensioner still assesses taxes when he receives pensions in the meantime, but these ones are not affected at all because the pensioner has automatically cleared his situation. On the other hand, you should take care of drawing of several salaries at the same time on the short term. Pay attention to details and try not to bring on cash flow problems, particularly in a period when banks are very careful on your credits. Of course, this is a new activity and, unfortunately for the time being, this is still rare.

reform of the House of Lords 36 years ago. I, like my hon. Friend the Member for Dumbarton Burghs (Mr. Kirkwood), was in that campaign at that time and taking the line of the Labour leaders. The Leader of the Opposition today said, in reference to one of his own quotations, that it represented the line of his then party, the Liberal Party. There was no deviation on his part, he said. Not at that time; but there has been plenty 286 since. But we can also say that there was no deviation on the part of the Leader of the House 36 years ago. He also, with his leaders, was for a single Chamber; and so were any of those now on the Government Front Bench who were then active in the movement of that time. I was interested in the torrent of propaganda which poured out from the Leader of the Opposition -- very questionable and unreliable propaganda. I was interested in the statement he made about the campaign at that time, and the difference between the situation now and the situation then. At that time, the campaign for the reform of the House of Lords went sweeping through the country like a tornado. There was terrific feeling in every part of the country on the question of the reform of the House of Lords.

In fact, human intelligence must confine itself to very limited action on a material about which it knows very little. But the vital impulse is there, brooking no delay, admitting no obstacle.

Emma Watson talks Octopus Jam The Perks of Being a Wallflower 01 October 2012 The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny and touching coming-of-age story based on the beloved best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up. Starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope-and the unforgettable friends that help us through life. With The Perks of Being a Wallflower opening in cinemas on Wednesday to rave reviews, The Fan Carpet 's Marc Jason Ali was in attendance at the Mayfair Hotel, where the lovely Emma Watson talked about her new coming of age drama with Edith Bowman moderating. The film reminds me of things like The Breakfast Club and other classic films like that, do you think that's what Chris was aiming for? Definitely, when we first met, he had this sort of bible, all of his ideas from the book and he knew exactly how he wanted to shoot every shot and there were tonnes of John Hughes references in there. He really wanted it to feel quirky and real but to also have that classic feel about it, and that's why he didn't go too far on the nineties garb; it was there, you could feel it, but he didn't go crazy.

J] "It came from listening to a Radio 4 program, appropriately enough, which was hosted by Mr Tom Robinson, of the parish of 6 Music, and he was presenting an archive hour about the release of some national archive films onto the internet for the first time. I just liked the sound of what I heard, so I thought I'd go and have a listen -- not even in a particularly musical sense. I listened to a couple, and I think there was one, 'Coughs And Sneezes Spread Diseases', which kind of grabbed me -- there were a couple of samples that I thought I might just tinker round with. So I made a song, played it to a few people, and unlike nearly everything I'd ever done prior to that, people said they liked it! So I tried making another one after that."

until morning. I went back to the sofa to keep warm, but I left my candle lighted and my door open. I did not sleep: the dead cat was on my mind, and, as if it were not bad enough to have it washed in at my feet, about four in the morning Peter, prowling uneasily, discovered it and brought it in and put it on my couch, wet and stiff, poor little thing! [Page 18] I looked at the clock. It was a quarter after four, and except for the occasional crunch of one ice-cake hitting another in the yard, everything was quiet. And then I heard the stealthy sound of oars in the lower hall. I am not a brave woman. I lay there, hoping Mr. Reynolds would hear and open his door. But he was sleeping soundly. Peter snarled and ran out into the hall, and the next moment I heard Mr. Ladley speaking. "Down, Peter," he said. "Down. Go and lie down." I took my candle and went out into the hall. Mr. Ladley was stooping over the boat, trying to tie it to the staircase. The rope was short, having been cut, and he was having trouble. Perhaps it was the candle-light, but he looked ghost-white and haggard. "I borrowed your boat, Mrs. Pitman," he said, civilly enough. "Mrs. Ladley was not well, and I -- I went to the drug store."
