__label__wiki	0.602904	0.602904	Obama the Pragmatic 'Centrist' and 'Level-Headed Referee' of the Budget Crisis Reporter Jeff Zeleny claims Obama has shifted to the center after the 2010 Democratic wipeout. But previously Zeleny insisted Obama had always been a pragmatic centrist. If he suspected it was just an act, why didn't he say so before? Published: 4/11/2011 11:07 AM ET Subscribe to Clay Waters By Clay Waters Obama the centrist? That's the takeaway from reporter Jeff Zeleny's Sunday "news analysis," "President Adopts a Measured Course to Recapture the Middle." The original online headline was even more misleading: "President Obama Adopts Centrist Approach." President Obama opened the week by calling on Democrats to embrace his re-election campaign. He closed it by praising Republicans for forging a compromise to cut spending this year and avert a government shutdown. The juxtaposition made clearer than ever the more centrist governing style Mr. Obama has adopted since his party's big losses in November and his recapture-the-middle strategy for winning a second term. Actually, Zeleny has considered Obama centrist, or at least a "pragmatist," from his first year in office, well before the 2010 election. Here's Zeleny on Obama the pragmatist in December 2009: "He delivered a mix of realism and idealism....he continued a pattern evident throughout his public career of favoring pragmatism over absolutes." On Sunday Zeleny positioned Obama in the center, at least from the view of the far-left wing of his party: The president may be viewed as liberal by some of his conservative critics, but to the traditional base of the Democratic Party he is often seen as not liberal enough. As details of the budget agreement came to light on Saturday, the first criticism came from the left, with Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr., Democrat of Illinois, accusing the president of "keeping the government open on the backs of the poor and disenfranchised." After Republicans found success casting Mr. Obama as a reflexive liberal intent on expanding the reach of government, the president has sought to reintroduce himself as a pragmatic leader more attuned to the political center than to the ideologies of left or right. He has talked about this brand of politics for years, but now his challenge is to employ it. Again, Zeleny had previously taken Obama at his word that he is "a pragmatic leader more attuned to the political center." If Zeleny truly thought Obama was only masquerading as a centrist and had failed to actually "employ" such politics, why didn't he mention this in his reporting? Mr. Obama not only helped avoid the first government shutdown in 15 years, but also pressured Republicans to remove provisions intended to restrict financing for Planned Parenthood and to limit environmental regulations. In doing so, he assumed the role of a level-headed referee, rising above the squabbling to take ownership of a solution rather than a problem. "He's the undisputed grownup in the group," said Jim Jordan, a Democratic strategist who has managed Senate and presidential campaigns across the country. "Presidents almost always compare well against Congress." Zeleny also went on to praise Boehner's handling of his own caucus. Zeleny's colleague Peter Baker made the same "pragmatist" claim in his front-page story for the Sunday Week in Review, "The Vision Thing - Above the fray, the president struggles to define liberalism in an era of debt." Mr. Obama has always cast himself as a pragmatist and he seems to be feeling his way in the post-midterm election environment.

Its Police and the bulldozers of the KMDA (Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority) razed to the ground and burnt the slums and homes of more than 800 people in Nonadanga, Kolkata on 30th March 2012. These are the same people who were resettled after evictions from various canal banks across Kolkata, and from the dispossessed from the hurricane Aila in 2009. A protest march called against the forceful eviction by residents and progressive organisations and individuals on 4th April was also brutally lathicharged by the Police, critically injuring many. Yesterday on 8th April, a sit-in demonstration was violently broken and 67 people were arrested, with false cases pressed on seven activists of various democratic mass organisations supporting the struggle. They have been remanded in police custody till 12th April, and there is an attempt by the state to frame these democratic rights activists, falsely alleging that arms and ammunitions have been found on them. Also on 9th April, 114 demonstrators who were protesting against these moves by the government were arrested from College Street. On 10th April, a huge consignment of police has cordoned off the entire area and the threat of imminent demolition even of the temporary tents and community kitchen looms large, reminding us of the situation in Singur in 2006. The government had earlier refused to provide even basic amenities like water, school, drainage system and proper housing in these resettlement colonies and pushed them into an `illegal' existence, and made them dependent on the networks of local Trinamool and CPI(M) goons. And now in the name of beautification, this violent eviction drive is set on the roll on these supposed `illegal encroachers' whose cheap labour is `legally exploited' to run the city's economy. Anyone opposing this kind of violent `development' of the ruling classes, has been declared to be `Maoists' and `inciting outsiders' conveniently by the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee again in her press statements to delegitimize the struggle, while the common lands of Kolkata are handed over to the corporate land sharks in the best traditions set up by the previous CPI(M)-led government. We, the undersigned organisations, condemn the arrests made on 8th April of protestors sitting in a demonstration in Ruby Junction, and demand that the 7 activists of various mass organisations who continue to be arrested be released and the false charges against them be dropped immediately, as the government is acting against the democratic right to organize and dissent. We condemn the action of the Trinamool-led West Bengal Government and the brutal lathicharge on 4th April, and continued harassment by the Kolkata Police on the residents of Nonadanga and those protesting against the ongoing eviction process in the name of `beautification' of the city, and demand action against the police officers involved. We stand with the struggle of the residents of Nonadanga and demand an immediate halt to the eviction drive in the city and the anti-people development, and proper compensation and rehabilitation for all the slum dwellers and hawkers in Nonadanga and in the evictions all over Kolkata.

__label__cc	0.676198	0.323802	You are here: Home ∼ The little bird is confused The little bird is confused Published by Woodpie on February 7, 2012 \| 2 Responses Woodpie wonders what it is with B-school grads and fiction writing. Oh! Oh! I know, I know, that they are taught to create convincing fiction, when it comes to presenting their business plans. They can paint rosy pictures of their ideas to investors. What’s really bothering me is their relationship with fiction writing in its true sense, as in writing novels. The most successful books in India (as in terms of book sales) are created by management grads. First we had just Chetan Bhagat with an IIM tag, raking the moolah. He has soon been joined by an equally successful Amish Tripathi of ‘The Immortals of Meluha’ fame. Like Chetan, Amish too flaunts a degree from IIM. These are followed by the likes of Ravinder Chaudhury, author of ‘I too had a love story.’ This young writer is still a student at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. At first, the critics dismissed them as chick-lit, but their commercial successes made every one stand up and take a serious notice. We soon had people saying, “Whatever it is, they made an entire nation read.” This statement is true, without the slightest doubt. Most of the Indian populace grew up reading Amar Chitra Katha or Enid Blyton. Some advanced to Mills and Boon or Sydney Sheldon. A very few stuck with John Grisham or Jeffrey Archer, but the majority had bid farewell to fiction books after high school and replaced them with volumes that spoke of either medicine, engineering or management. But this new breed of chick-lit authors made them all pick up reading for leisure, once again. Even traditional publishers like Penguin and Harper Collins wished a share in this pie. Though Harper Collins gave up after some experimentation with Karan Bajaj’s ‘Keep off the grass,’ Penguin is going strong with what it calls ‘Metro Reads.’ Woodpie thanks these new authors and says, “Way to go!” The little bird has a doubt that’s troubling her little mind. She wonders what drives their book sales. Is it the simplicity of the language? Is the plot such that the readers can relate to it? Is it the pricing and marketing of the book? Little bird woodpie would appreciate if you help her by sharing your opinion on the matter and comment. Posted in Home Tagged book, fiction Praveen February 7, 2012 at 7:36 pm \| Permalink I guess it might not fair to include Amish in that list with Chetan Bhagat. The former’s writing style is more refined and critically acclaimed (although he’s only 2 books old). His books are of international standards and caters to a mainstream audience. Amish, simply put, is in a different league altogether. The commercial success of Chetan’s books can be attributed to the 3 points mentioned (those movies surely helped too!). His books do bring in a completely new audience. For instance, I could never persuade my college going cousin to pick a copy of Immortals of Meluha. It just isn’t ‘my taste’, he says. But, he’s a big fan of Chetan’s books. Yes. They both happened to have a management degree from IIM. But then, I couldn’t help wonder if it’s nothing more than a case of coincidence? I mean, Hemingway, Capote & Stephen King all battled alcohol addiction. We could then say there’s a connect between alcoholics who are writers and award-winning novels! “Whatever it is, they made an entire nation read”. That is very true. And I hope it makes people move to other, more ‘classical’ books as well. After all, as stated in The Hindu’s latest repartee to TOI’s campaign, people do want to ‘Stay ahead of the Times’ and I hope Woodpie brings in that culture! Good luck and eagerly awaiting your launch! Smitesh SS February 7, 2012 at 7:44 pm \| Permalink Could not agree more on the success of the new breed of writers and their creations which brings a refreshing new take on casual reading. It’s simple and it’s fun. In my opinion the answers to the little bird’s questions lies within. It’s the combination of the factors raised which pleases various sections of readers resulting in a populous choice.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line13
__label__cc	0.630206	0.369794	Featured On This Week's Program Animal Radio for December 29, 2018 Legislation To License Groomers Rosemary Marchetto, Bijou's Bill Shortly after Rosemary Marchetto's Shih Tzu was dropped at a chain store groomer, she was informed that her dog had died. She feels the groomer was negligent and that the profession needs regulation. Bijou's Bill, named after Rosemary's dog, is being spearheaded by New Jersey Senator Valerie Huttle. The law would require pet groomers to be licensed, at least 18 years old, and tested by the State Board of Veterinary Examiners. Rosemary joins us this week to tell her story. Animal Radio's Joey Villani is also on the forefront of this groundbreaking legislation and he says there is some push-back from many groomers. Rosemary Marchetto was the guardian of Bijou. She told us that she had taken Bijou to a very well known chain store for a routine grooming. She was surprised when the groomer said to her, "I hope this dog doesn't give me a hard time. I had a bad day." However, Rosemary didn't expect the outcome to be what it became. Within 45 minutes, Rosemary got a call from the grooming salon and was told that Bijou was dead. Rosemary tells us that they would not disclose to her what happened and they would not let her speak to the groomer nor the store manager. At that point, Rosemary called the police to come and make a police report, because she needed some kind of documentation as to what was happening. Rosemary says she eventually took the matter into her own hands after she found out that dog groomers aren't licensed. She felt that she did the right thing by bringing Bijou to a very well known pet store chain, thinking if anything, she was protected by them. Clearly that wasn't the case and that's how Bijou's Bill started to come together. Rosemary went to her local Assemblywoman, Valerie Huttle. Rosemary had a conversation with her and told her what had happened to Bijou. She then explained to Valerie that there are no laws that require dog groomers to be licensed. Valerie was appalled. Rosemary states that everyone she tells story to invariably responds right away saying, "Oh, dog groomers aren't licensed?" In the world we live in today, your nail technician is licensed, your locksmith is licensed and it's hard to believe that people who groom your dogs do not require any type of license. As a matter of fact, not only in New Jersey, but also in most of the country, Rosemary thinks there are only two states that require licenses for dog groomers. If a groomer was in one of these two states and wanted to be a licensed groomer, they would have to take a practical and written test that given by their state. Upon completion, they would apply for a license that would cost about $50, depending on the state. They would then be a licensed professional, like a nurse or anybody else who requires a license to practice their craft. Hindsight's is 20/20 and Rosemary knows that the statement made by the groomer of having a bad day and saying they hoped Bijou didn't give them any trouble, should have been a red flag. We've all been there, and you just think that this person is just blowing off a little steam, as we all have bad days. You're not really thinking they are going to kill your dog. Bijou died January 11th, 2012 and Rosemary started pursuing legislation in 2014, with the Bill making it through the assembly once before. Rosemary has to give some credit where credit is due to NewJersey.com, who put out an investigative report where they found the deaths of 47 dogs at some of these big box chains. This sort of lit the fire under the Bill for the Bill to start coming back into focus again and to get it through to the General Assembly in New Jersey. Joey Villani tells us he's been working closely with Rosemary and the Assembly and is a big supporter of this Bill. Joey hopes that it goes through the final stages, and as of right now he doesn't see anything that's going to stop it. It went through the Assembly like a freight train and there was no one that was against it. However, Joey's big issue is, because his claim to fame in the industry is owning schools, he went through the proper process and did everything he needed to do to make sure that pets were safe and were groomed properly. It always bothered him that somebody would open up a salon and do it properly, while the next-door neighbor could open up a salon and call themselves a groomer, because there are no safeguards in place. Joey explains that licensing a groomer is not a straight jacket for them. What it's going to do is to make them an educated professional. They will learn things like how to properly use the equipment and even how to properly pick a dog up. In Joey's school, they had to teach the proper way to pick a dog up and put it on the table. Something that sounds so meaningless is so important. They are also taught not to walk away or turn your back on a dog when they are on the table. These may be little things, but if you don't practice them and you don't study them, you won't know them. No one wants anything to happen to a pet, but because groomers not educated and there are no safeguards in place, things happen. Rosemary is now pioneering something that that could be wonderful for everyone's dogs. Think of all the pet owners out there who didn't know what was going on in grooming salons. Joey tells us he was an advocate from the very beginning as there was a need for some sort of safeguard. Now it's out there, and unfortunately while bijou passed away, he did not pass in vain because this is going to protect so many other pets and it's well needed. Surprisingly, Rosemary has been under attack since pursuing this Bill. There's a good majority of people in the grooming industry that are not looking at the big picture. Joey says that a lot of these groomers are probably very good groomers and are safe. However, they're the ones that are saying that this is going to be a hardship on them. Joey explains that it's not going to be a hardship at all. It's just a change in how you do things. For example, Joey says look at the seatbelt law. No one liked wearing a seatbelt. Now, if we don't, we feel naked. So the pet groomers that are against this just need to rethink it. This is about keeping pets safe. That's it. Let's remember that that is the issue on hand. Groomers are still going to make money, they're still going do what they do every day and they are still going to love it, for the people who love it. And the people who don't like it, they shouldn't be doing it anyway because it's not for everyone. You have to be a pet lover and if you're a pet lover, you want them safe. Currently this Bill is just in New Jersey. However, Rosemary tells us she actually has it on Assemblyman Low's desk out in California and that North Carolina is also looking at it at the moment. Rosemary tells us that she was able to get Bijou's body back after his passing, but due to a lawsuit she filed, she can't talk about the case. However, she does state the fact that the grooming chain took complete liability after the groomer made that disparaging remark, made it all seem a little suspect to Rosemary. She still doesn't don't know exactly what happened to Bijou, because nobody completely explained it to her. Rosemary said she sued for the maximum amount, which right now in the state of New Jersey is $10,000. That's the maximum, because they currently consider dogs property and that's the cap. Another Bill that Rosemary is trying to pass is called the Sentiment Being Act. Surprisingly, the Sentiment Being Act is actually enacted in several countries right now. That would remove ownership. In other words, a dog wouldn't be seen as a piece of furniture, but rather as a living being. If this can change and something happens, then you have a different way of going about this. Rosemary says this isn't really about suing, this is about preventing dogs from dying so that we don't get to that stage and everybody can take a lesson from what she's been through and whatever the other 47 people that lost their pets have been through. This is preventing this from happening going forward. Do You Have The Right Car Seat For Your Fur Baby? Tim Spell, Automotive Columnist A recent Harris Poll indicates that many dog owners don't restrain their animals while driving with them. Many admit to allowing their dog to roam freely about the car, sit on their lap or stick their head out the window. Award-winning car columnist Tim Spell tells us the dangers behind unrestrained pets in the car and how to find the right restraining system and use it properly. First off, Tim tells us that there should never be any dogs in the front seat at all, especially on your lap while you're driving with them hanging head out the window. The problem with this is that both the dogs and the carriers can, if they're not properly attached and tethered to the vehicle, become projectiles. This is especially true if you have a large dog. That loose dog could then fly and hit another person or they can hit the dash and they can even go right through the windshield. A dogs need to be in the backseat properly tethered or in a carrier. The tether and carrier should also be also crash proof and crash worthy. So what is safer for your pet - a tether or a carrier? Tim explains that a carrier is always better. The carriers should be made of a really a high strength material. They should be made of roto molded plastic, luggage grade plastic or ballistic nylon. If you have a carrier that you normally put you dog in and it has a plastic case with a wire door, that is not a roto molded carrier. Roto molding is a process that they use where the melted plastic continually rotates and it forms a really strong single piece. An example of this is a kayak. Carriers made this way are much stronger than the regular plastic ones with a wire door. There's also a luggage grade plastic that's good. And if you wanted a softer fabric tether that would work, you can use a ballistic nylon with industrial grade stitching. You need to understand that there's a lot of force in a collision. If you are driving a car and hit a stationary object at 35 miles an hour and you have a 60-pound dog, that dog becomes like a 3,000-pound projectile. The dog can go right through the windshield or it could hit another passenger. So it's really important that you never use a wire crate. Now that you have the right carrier, you should also know that placement of the carrier is critical. You should put them down on the floor behind the driver or passenger seat. If you have a three row SUV, and you have a small dog 20-pounds or less, you can put the carrier on captain's chair in the middle. If you have a larger dog, you should put them in the backseat, but never put them on the tunnel in between rows. Tim has three dogs that he sometimes travels with. He has a crate in the rear compartment of his SUV. However, he states that he has been guilty in the past of not restraining them in the car. What's Your Vet-iquette - How to Be a Good Veterinary Client - Dr. Debbie Sure you think your vet visits go off without a hitch, but do you know how to be a good veterinary client, the kind veterinarians rave about? Follow these suggestions to participate as a vital part of your pet's medical care, to ensure your pet gets the most efficient care, and to always be greeted with beaming smiles. Before you arrive at the office with a sick pet, know your pet's ins and outs. Without a pertinent history from you, your veterinarian may need more diagnostic tests to sleuth out the answer to the problem. That takes time and can cost you more in veterinary bills. Expect the questions your vet is likely to ask you. Has your pet been eating? What types and brand of food do you feed him? Is there diarrhea or constipation? Bring Evidence Nothing is more useful to your veterinarian as seeing something with her own eyes. Bring evidence like stool samples, vomited material, and medications your pet is receiving. Has your pet chewed on some unusual plant in the backyard? By all means bring a sprig of that plant. Document video on your smart phone. This can be immensely helpful to your veterinarian to witness behaviors that may be intermittent. I've been thankful when owners bring smart phone video of seizures, separation anxiety behaviors, and respiratory ailments. Video eliminates misinterpretation by pet owners, and can permit a quick veterinary diagnosis. Vomiting and regurgitating may look similar, but are caused by different disorders. Pets strain to defecate with both diarrhea and constipation. Inspiratory wheezing, coughing, congestion and reverse sneezing are often described similarly by owners. Trust Valid Resources By all means do your research in advance of your veterinary visit. Know what questions to ask. But remember that the internet is abounding with both good and blazingly incorrect information, some based on opinions and conjecture without any sound medical basis. Pet owners who value Dr. Google's opinion over their veterinarian, who has examined their pet, could put their pet's health care in jeopardy. Confine Your Pet Make sure your pet is secure before entering the veterinary hospital. Don't underestimate the unpredictable things pets do in a noisy, crowded waiting room. Birds fly off shoulders landing in snack zone of nearby dogs. Dogs instigate fights, and cats flee the waiting veterinary staff's arms. Pay attention to where your pet is and don't allow your pet to approach other animals without the owner's consent. Some animals are there because they are sick, and could bite in unfamiliar surroundings. Dogs should be on a secure leash. Flexi leashes are dangerous in the veterinary hospital allowing dogs to bolt quickly toward another dog, or to entangle limbs of humans or other animals in the waiting room. Cats and exotic pets should be secured in an appropriate pet carrier. If you have a pet that has been or could be aggressive to veterinary staff…absolutely share that information before the visit starts. Veterinarians look out for the safety of people in their employment and appreciate a heads-up in advance to avoid potential staff injury. Optimize Your Face Time So now you are in the exam room with the doc, so make the most of it. Put the cell phone away and, by all means, don't waste time taking a phone call if medical staff is standing in front of you. Avoid distractions that will limit your ability to communicate with your veterinarian. This might include a roomful of boisterous children or other pets. If possible, arrange child care or pet sitting so your sick pet gets prime attention and you don't miss any details of the visit. Emergencies Happen At the vet office, we recognize how valuable pet owner's time is and try to minimize the wait. But recognize that emergencies are unforeseen and create delays for other pet owners. Most folks understand that emergencies happen and are accommodating during situations as this. But making a scene or outburst about your wait time, while the veterinary staff tends to a critical pet is just inconsiderate. Recognize that one day your pet could be in that same place and you would be appreciative that your pet's medical emergency was triaged ahead of the waiting routine appointments. Don't Attack the Messenger Emotions can run high when you have a sick or injured pet, but it isn't an excuse to be abusive to hospital staff. Obscene language and overly aggressive behavior doesn't help your pet get the care she needs, nor does it endear yourself to those people working hard for your pet's health. Own Your Own Reality Pet owners have the daunting responsibility for the health and well-being of pets in their care. That means accepting the level of veterinary care you can pursue, and recognizing choices if finances are limited. Pet insurance can help defer the cost of veterinary care, but there isn't government sponsored Obamacare for pets. Don't blame your veterinarian for your pet's health maladies, or expect her to cover the costs of treatment. People in the veterinary field do what they do because they love animals, but they shouldn't be expected to take financial responsibility for everyone's pets. I once heard a veterinary colleague respond to an client's question, "Doc, why can't you just do my Sasha's surgery for free?" His response was, "Because my staff needs to get paid and my kids need shoes." Recognize that veterinary offices aren't lending institutions, but rather are small businesses with pressing bills, just as anyone. Share feedback with the hospital management about service excellence or shortcomings. Every hospital appreciates the opportunity to improve, or the chance to pat staff on the back.

This can affect pets the same way it does humans, causing SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder. Starting in fall, as the days get shorter and sunlight levels decline, many people notice their mood begins to dip. It's believed that lower light levels prompt a decline in the feel-good brain hormone serotonin and boost the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin. No surprise then that pets, with their similar brain chemistry, may also suffer from the same kind of seasonal hormonal havoc. A survey by a British veterinary organization found that 1 in 3 dog owners notice their pet becoming less playful and appearing down or depressed during dreary winter months. Some symptoms that may indicate your pet is experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder include: aggressive behavior or soiling inappropriately; clawing at furniture; demanding more attention or appearing withdrawn; frequent barking; lethargy - sleeping more than usual; less interest in going for walks or playing; and reduced appetite and weight loss. So how do you combat Seasonal Affective Disorder in your dog? The same way some humans find relief - with artificial sunlight in the form of a light box. You should also open your drapes or shades and take more walks with your dogs. It's Illegal To Threaten Pets The federal stalking law is getting an update to include threats made against a pets and emotional support animals. Senator Gary Peters of Michigan managed to get his proposal, which adds threats and violence against a person's pets to the stalking statute, included in this year's Farm Bill. Under the law, threatening or harming a pet as a way to harass or intimidate a victim is punishable by up to five years in prison. Experts say that victims of abuse often remain in a threatening situation because they fear what could happen to their pets. The measure also authorizes spending $3 million a year for the next five years to help shelters for victims of domestic violence that include facilities for pets. Right now, only 3-percent of women's shelters across the U.S. accept pets. After a study in Wisconsin, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) found that more than two-thirds of domestic violence survivors said their abusers had also been violent toward their pets or service animals. Other studies say as many as 25-percent of domestic violence survivors returned to abusive partners out of concern for their pets. Police Dog Dumped In Shelter A former police dog named Ringo, who was thought to be living in retirement with his handler, was dumped at a Mississippi animal shelter. However, because Ringo was micro chipped, the shelter called the dog's trainer who was not happy with the situation. Ringo had worked nine years for the Jackson Police Department. The Department has looked into the matter and has since re-assigned Ringo's former handler to patrol duty, which is thought of as a demotion. The good news is the trainer went to the shelter right away and adopted Ringo after he got the call. Pet Scams On The Rise The Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker has seen an increase in people losing money to pet scams. They're not surprised, as it's typical around the holidays. Here's how the scams usually work: you find an adorable puppy on a website or online ad. Scammers claim they are breeders or act like a pet owner who has to find a new home for their pet. Then, once you've fallen in love with the pictures and videos, they ask you to wire money to make the purchase. Once the purchase is complete, the "owner" promises your dog or cat will be shipped right away. But there are always "unexpected" problems with airlines, vets, pet insurance, etc. With each problem, scammers promise that they will refund the unexpected costs as soon as your pet is delivered. It never happens. Experts say never wire money to anyone you don't know and make sure you see the pet in person before paying for anything.

__label__wiki	0.590906	0.590906	[2 Minute Review] A Kingdom For Keflings How can a game that has absolutely zero conflict compete in today’s hyperviolent market? Welcome to the most relaxing game of 2008. DO: Take a scrubby patch of land and transform it into a thriving kingdom. TYPE: Building/Resource Management PLATFORM: XBLA PRICE: 800 MS Points MEAT: You are a giant in the land of the Keflings, strange little people who want nothing more than to do your bidding. The entire game consists of you ordering the Keflings to harvest resources which can be used to construct a staggering variety buildings. The ultimate goal of the game is to build a castle but getting there can take anywhere from 8-12 hours. It’s one of those games where you can pop in for a few minutes to build one building or spend hours just chilling while you watch your kingdom flourish. This game was so addictive that I’d find myself pulled away from AAA titles like Mirror’s Edge or Left 4 Dead to get back to my kingdom. It is a perfect tonic for those times when you get frustrated and need a break from the more hectic gameplay of straight-up action games. PERKS: An amazing guitar soundtrack; using your avatar; being able to kick the Keflings around the map (and get an achievement for it). SCREAMS: For a camera that can be rotated 360 degrees; for a camera that will stay where you put it instead of snapping back into the default isometric view; for a better way to keep track of what building components have been used in a given blueprint so that you don’t make 30 reading rooms by accident. VERDICT: Buy. This game may be a little TOO relaxing for every gamer, but take the demo for a spin to see if it is for you. In this day of hyperviolence and gore dripping from every corner of the screen, it is nice to see a game pride itself on its lack of conflict. Just make sure you aren’t tired when you play the game as the soundtrack will lull you to sleep. Wednesday was a glorious day. Why? Chrono Trigger DS just landed in my hands today and I’ve already sunk far too much time into it. For a 13 year old game, it still holds up amazingly well and the new tweaks are kind of nice. There’s also the added bonus that I finally have a legitimate portable copy of what is probably my all-time favourite videogame, period. I have a top 10 list of favourite games and it’s often in flux, though many games tend to stay in it for a long time. Chrono Trigger is on a whole other level of adoration though. It’s the Mona Lisa of JRPGs as far as I’m concerned. What am I doing typing this? I’m off to go romp through time with my band of merry adventurers! Sony Marks Down Some Digital Bits I just scored The Last Guy, PixelJunk Eden, and echochrome for $15 total on the PSN store. Prices are good for about a week. There’s more, but I’m being lazy. Here’s other things that may make other people happy. I have this spot in my soul that comes out every so often to play. I don’t talk much here about movies, but this cannot come soon enough. If you do some digging, you’ll find the Cloverfield monster. Photographer Robbie Cooper shows just how focused young video-game players can be. Come back here and let me stab you! I returned on Friday from the COLDEST business trip ever and am just now getting around to catching up on emails, feeds and games. I didn’t get much gaming in over the weekend, but I’ve got pretty much the whole week off, so I’m looking forward to cramming in as many games, books and movies as I can. Thanks to my fellow bloggers for keeping the site alive and well why I was pretty much isolated from the real world while I was working in Northern Maine. Being without internet when there’s nothing else to do is pretty soul-crushing. So I’m out of the loop right now from the video game world. I haven’t even downloaded the new Xbox 360 dashboard. But I should be caught up soon. In the meantime, here’s the fastest Super Mario speed run I’ve ever seen: MK vs DC: First Impressions Freaking awesome!!! That about sums up my first impression. I played through the DC story line and started up the MK side tonight. The story really works and the way it’s layed out is great too. The fighting mechanics are fun fun fun. The new klose kombat and free-fall kombat are a new and fresh addition. I’ll write up a more in depth review of the game after I’ve put enough time into it. For now I’m just enjoying it to the fullest. [2 Minute Review] Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Note: This review is full of light spoilers but does not divulge the outcome or major points of the plot. Can a game cause a person to embrace the dark side? Yes, one feels the hatred flowing through them while playing this game. One also feels the elation of redemption once it’s all over. DO: You are every Star Wars fan’s dream. Kill anything that moves using Force powers–with ultimate effect. TYPE: 3rd person action platformer PLATFORM: 360 and PS3 (in this iteration) (360 version reviewed here) MEAT: Made an orphan by Darth Vader and impressed to become his adept in the Force the player is forced (heh) to become a double agent and start an uprising for the purpose of Vader wanting to overcome the Emperor and have you rule at his side. Premise aside the game is an ongoing trial of frustration. Storm Troopers can block Force powers and unwieldy camera angles make knowing where the action is rather difficult. The camera also helps in missing numerous jumps when it comes to certain levels. Throw in a useless save system and some broken save points and you tend to know what it’s like to experience the extreme power of the dark side. On more than one occasion I felt as if I could Force pull the disc from the 360 tray. The game looks and sounds great, and only during the endgame when you have most of your powers at their full potential does the game play tend to get exciting. Perhaps though the most squandered potential of any video game moment of all time is lost during the often advertised Star Destroyer scene. You’re tasked to use your Force powers to pull it down right out of the sky. Instead of being an epic moment, it becomes one of trial and error and then develops a sense of defecating relief once it’s over. The following cut scene barely manages to cover that guffaw. However that leads me to the game’s redeeming moment: the story. Let me finish by saying that it ranks in the top three of Star Wars stories grouped with The Empire Strikes Back and Knights of the Old Republic. I’ve only done this once before playing a video game, but I teared up during the final cut scene. Maybe my frustration of playing gave way to an empathy with the frustration that the apprentice felt? PERKS: wielding the Force in its full glory is awesome; excellent graphic design, sound effects, and soundtrack; one of the greatest Star Wars stories–is it any wonder Lucas considers the game canon? SCREAMS: to have been play tested–by people; to have better enemy awareness; to have an enemy AI other than throwing wave after wave of troopers at you; to display real lightsaber effects and not essentially be a lit wooden pole; to not have Quick Timed Events; to have a better Force power progression; to be made into a proper movie VERDICT: Rent. This rating was really hard for me especially if you’ve read my previous frustrations. Rent it for the story alone. Otherwise watch the cut scenes on YouTube or read the book. If it wasn’t for the story I would have recommended that you Pass on the pain. They’ve sold over 1.5 million copies so will probably see a sequel with the same crappy game play. Here’s my gamercard to show I completed the game. The Force Unleashed: Elated Frustration I’ve shared my initial thoughts about the game in the past, but recently I’ve forced myself through the pain (“I need my pain!”–sorry wrong sci-fi franchise reference) and have started to finish it. I just completed the star destroyer level. I want to go on record and say that it is the most wasted potential of an epic moment in a video game of all time. To put it into a frame of mind, most fans had never even thought of the idea of pulling down a star destroyer using the force. LucasArts really had something there. It really got people hyped up and was a major selling point of the game. How could they even package it and call it entertaining? Who signed off on it? It is a huge trial and error task of frustration. The reason being that the quicktime events do not match the actions on screen. They’re just slightly off. TIP: Ignore the buttons on the bottom of the screen for the most part and just make the star destroyer look directly at you. When the light turns green, pull that sucker down. The developers at LucasArts must have known that they had the most sucktacular epic fail of a level on their hands so they ramped up the cinematic that follows it. Those last five minutes were better than the new trilogy movies combined. The dialogue, plot twists, use of Star Wars cliches (and not being cheesy), camera angles, and voice acting make it one of the best contemporary video game cinematics I’ve ever witnessed. Forget Clone Wars on Cartoon Network (they might be killing off Jar Jar tomorrow night!), Lucas should have focused on animating this story. I think it’s the best self-contained story in the Star Wars Universe behind The Empire Strikes Back. Trophies Mandatory? About Dang Time Was doing my daily browsing of kotaku and found out that Sony is making trophies mandatory for PS3 games come January. I know of many people who choose 360 games over their PS3 counterparts just for achievements alone. I’ve had more fun with my PS3 in the last two months than any other system. Competition is good. I want to see it survive.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line18
__label__wiki	0.86461	0.86461	At Large Fake News Wednesday: Avengers Buzz Spurs Plans For Wendy & Marvin Movie HOLLYWOOD (CAP) - Anticipation over the release of Marvel's The Avengers has studios scrambling to bring other superhero properties to the big screen, including a live-action film featuring Wendy and Marvin from the Super Friends TV series. "These are some of the most beloved characters in the history of the comics, or at least the Saturday morning television versions of the comics," said producer Martin Shafer. "Who will ever forget their adventures doing, you know, all those things they did with the Super Friends?" In the series, neither character seemed to have any special abilities to speak of, and no reason was ever given as to why they apparently lived with the Super Friends in the Hall of Justice. "But in the movie you'll learn a lot more about them," said Shafer, pointing to a picture of the duo from the 1970s series. "You'll learn why Marvin had this big M on his shirt, and you'll see the origins of their torrid romance ... um, unless they're brother and sister, in which case, not so much. Also, I'm pretty sure that's a dog." Asked point blank if he knew anything about the Marvin and Wendy characters beyond what was shown in the picture, Shafer paused for several seconds and then admitted that didn't. "But I do know that the rights to the characters had lapsed, so I bought them," he added. Shafer, who also plans to direct the film, says he had hoped to cast Zac Efron, most recently of The Lucky One, and Jennifer Lawrence of The Hunger Games as Marvin and Wendy, but negotiations have proven difficult, given that he did not know who their agents were. However, he said, "I do have tentative agreements from The Situation and Tara Reid," the latter of whom appeared in Shafer's Human Centipede sequel. Shafer noted that Reid would satisfy his investors' concerns that the movie's Wendy be sufficiently well-endowed so as to fit in among the more modern, improbably busty superheroines. "We will not be making the same mistake as the Superman reboot, which critics and fanboys agreed suffered from a lack of bosoms," he said.

__label__wiki	0.777659	0.777659	Ryan Murphy has a pretty famous track record when it comes to his shows: the first season is really good and genuinely hits whatever mark they’re going for, but each and every season afterwards descends into madness or unaware self-parody. The exception to the rule is American Horror Story, wherein Season 2 was its masterclass and Season 3 was when it was having the most fun. Otherwise, you could practically write a line of folk wisdom on the subject: ‘For every +1 added to the season number of a Ryan Murphy show, expect -3 from its total quality.’ The reason why I mention this is because Netflix’s newest offering from Ryan Murphy might not even hit the bar of the ‘classic first season’ trope. It’s just… there, I guess. Not terrible, but distracting in how it barely distinguishes itself from any subpar Netflix production. The titular politician (entitled Beverly Hills high schooler) is supposed to Make Us Think about how sociopathy produces the best politicians and how they only care about diversity as a statistics metric and Everyone Has Problems and all that. But it’s just… much like the ‘middle-aged white man’s midlife crisis = FREUDIAN EXCUSE FOR VIOLENCE SHOOT GUNS FUCK WOMEN AND THEN BLAME WOMEN YEAHHHHHHH’ HBO dramas of the last two decades, the idea of real-world poltical discussions and Crazy Kids being condensed into quirky detached American high schools has been played out hundreds of times now. In the case of The Politician, it tries to borrow the social cues of Cruel Intentions without any of the bite; it tries to emulate Election and its much more menacing example of a wunderkind with total ambition, but we’re not given any example of why this high schooler wants the presidency beyond just having the money to do so. Which could have been a much better story if that was the intentional angle they went with. But more than anything, it lacks the fun that should be present in a story about weird rich fucks in Beverly Hills. That’s the biggest problem – the jokes are stale and without life, which I suppose derives from its stale by-the-books plot. The first and only genuine laugh is used up by Gwyneth Paltrow in the first episode, though it is a good one. In the show, Gwyneth Paltrow knowingly mocks herself by being casted as a down to earth and fundamentally bored wife that paints pictures of Syrian war dead and knows the intonations of Mandarin to perfection, who then goes on to live in a monastery and begins paving mountain roads in Bhutan by hand, but not before carrying out a love affair with Martina Navratilova. That sentence alone has far more comedic and dramatic potential (imagine!) than The Politican provides, and I was far more interested in her growth than whatever intrigue was playing out in the A-plot. The soundtrack is mostly cute, tho. But the casting would give Dawson’s Creek and 90210 a run for their money – the Luke Perry Class of 2019. 4/10: Ryan Murphy is lost without Sarah Paulson Lachlan Mitchell Posts by Lachlan Mitchell	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line26

The Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 1992 ("MACMA") allows for requests to be made to New Zealand by prescribed foreign countries, convention countries and all other foreign countries on a case-by-case basis or ad hoc basis. Prescribed foreign countries are those countries identified by Regulations made under MACMA. Those countries are currently Australia, Fiji, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China; Niue; The Republic of Korea; The United Kingdom; and The United States. See also Relationships with Other Countries. Convention countries are countries which are party to certain conventions as listed in the schedule to MACMA. What is required for New Zealand to make a request for mutual assistance? Under New Zealand law, New Zealand can request mutual assistance from any country. This process is assisted by several countries being designated as prescribed foreign countries, as identified by the Regulations made under MACMA, and some multilateral international conventions to which New Zealand is a party (see above). MACMA allows for New Zealand to request other countries fulfil requests for the same kinds of assistance as New Zealand can provide for other countries. While MACMA does not set out the form that responses to New Zealand's mutual assistance requests should take, they are governed by a number of statutes and common law rules, in particular the Evidence Act 2006. New Zealand's system has strict requirements about what form documents need to be in, in order to be admissible in court. That is why New Zealand's requests often specify in some detail the form in which a response should be provided. Law enforcement agencies that require information about what is needed for New Zealand to make a mutual assistance request to a foreign country should contact the New Zealand Central Authority for Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters at Crown Law. See further Contact details. How do foreign countries make requests for assistance to New Zealand? Requests under MACMA should be made to the Attorney-General. In practice, formal requests for mutual assistance are received by the Crown Law Office on behalf of the Attorney-General. If requests are received by other New Zealand agencies or a court in New Zealand, they should be sent to the New Zealand Central Authority for Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, the Crown Law Office. Section 26 of MACMA requires that all requests made to New Zealand specify certain matters. These are: The purpose of the request and nature of the assistance being sought; and The person, agency, or authority that initiated the request; and The capacity in which the country is making the request (i.e. as a prescribed foreign country, convention country and, if so, which convention, or on an ad-hoc basis). Requests are to be accompanied by the following: A certificate from the Foreign Central Authority confirming that the request is made in respect of a criminal investigation or criminal proceedings within the meaning of MACMA (see Certificates from Central Authorities below); and A description of the nature of the criminal investigation or criminal proceedings and a statement setting out a summary of the relevant facts and law; and Details of the procedure that the foreign country wishes to be followed in New Zealand in giving effect to the request, including details of the manner and form in which any information is to be supplied to the foreign country pursuant to the request; and A statement setting out the wishes of the foreign country concerning the confidentiality of the request and the reasons for those wishes; and Details of the period within which the foreign country wishes the request to be complied with; and If the request involves a person travelling from New Zealand to the foreign country, details of allowances to which the person will be entitled and of the arrangements for accommodation for the person while the person is in the foreign country pursuant to the request; and Any other information required to be included with the request under a Treaty or other arrangement between New Zealand and the foreign country. Any other information that is likely to be of assistance should also be included. Certificates from Central Authorities New Zealand's legislation requires mutual assistance requests to come from the Central Authority of the requesting country. The reasons for this are that the Central Authority: Exercises information and quality control; Is able (as the foreign Government's representative) to assure reciprocity to New Zealand and provide other binding assurances; and Ensures the request is sufficiently important. Section 26(c)(ii) of MACMA requires that each request for assistance be accompanied by a certificate from the Central Authority of the foreign country that the request is made in respect of a criminal investigation or criminal proceedings within the meaning of the Act. Criminal investigations and criminal proceedings are defined in section 2 of the Act. There is no set form for this certificate. However, there must be something from the Central Authority itself to prove the request originated from the right authority. A formal covering letter from the Central Authority which covers the following matters is preferable: Confirms that the request came from the Central Authority; and Certifies that the request is made in respect of a criminal investigation or proceeding within the meaning of the Act See further Checklist for Central Authorities when making a request to New Zealand.

Images by Anukriti Bishen, with inputs from Gopalakrishnan R. Delhi Capitals upstaged defending champions 92-65 in Game 3 of the Championship Series to be crowned champs. Season 3 dates announced, as 8 July to 5 August 2016 in Pune. UBA Season 2 Champions Delhi Capitals Hyderabad, 3rd April 2016: Delhi Capitals have been crowned champions of Season 2 of the United Basketball Alliance (UBA) Pro Basketball League that concluded a short while ago at the Gachibowli Stadium in the city. Capitals overcame defending champions Chennai Slam, 2-1, in the best of three Championship Series, beating them 92-65 in the final game to end as deserving winners. Honourable Sports Minister of Telangana State Sri T Padma Rao Goud distributed the trophies and medals. Other dignitaries present included senior UBA officials, Todd Mack (MD), Tausif Shaikh (Director of Administration), Aseem Khan (Chairman, Intermedia Cable Communications) and Michael Yanke (Chief Marketing Officer). As Season 2 winners, Delhi Capitals were awarded a cash prize of Rs 7,00,000/-. Runners up Chennai Slam received Rs 3,00,000/-. Capitals’ shooting guard Vinay Kaushik, who was named the Season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) a couple of days ago, collected his Hyosung GT250R bike and trophy during the glittering prize distribution ceremony. UBA’s Director of Broadcasting Mr Paul Crane also used the occasion to announce that Season 3 will be held from 8 July to 5 August 2016 in Pune. Delhi Capitals bt Chennai Slam 92-65 [Finals, Game 3] Ramesh of Delhi Capitals attempts a jumper against Chennai Slam. The deciding Game 3 of the UBA Season 2 Finals arrived and both teams were rearing to go here at Gachibowli Stadium, Hyderabad. The Capitals squared the series at 1-1 with an impressive win in the second game yesterday. The defending champions Chennai have always managed to show up when it matters the most. But today, they had a huge hurdle to overcome in order to repeat their championship run this season. Chennai forward Arjun GK, who was Chennai’s X-factor in the first two games, got the start today in place of Ramkumar. The Capitals starting lineup remained unchanged in today’s ‘win or go home’ contest. Delhi got off to a quick start, with a 9-0 run to begin the game. Small forward Ajay Pratap Singh continued to stroke the ball from 3-point range, opening his team’s scoring with a triple. Delhi’s big men Ramesh and Smithin got going early down low, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Slam shooting guard Cammy Carmel stemmed the flow nailing a tough jumper to begin his team’s scoring. Arjun GK made the most of his start, driving in aggressively and finishing at the basket and leaking out in transition. He added 7 points in the first quarter to hit back against Delhi’s quick start. But a couple of 3-pointers from Delhi’s backcourt of Sachin and MVP Vinay Kaushik ensured that Delhi ended the first quarter on top 21-18. In the second quarter, Ramesh caught fire for Delhi as he had a game-changing second quarter. Beginning with an and-1 play, Ramesh kept fighting in the paint, getting into good position and using his soft touch to find the bottom of the basket. Ajay Pratap Singh kept his efficiency up, hitting timely shots from inside and outside the 3-point line. Too many turnovers hurt Chennai as they struggled to get into their offensive rhythm. Carmel fought hard for Chennai, but the rest of his team suffered from their shooting woes. Delhi raced away to a double-digit lead as they closed out the first half up 45 to 31. With one half left to defend their title, Chennai was looking for a scoring run to cut the huge deficit. Slam centre Gopal began the third quarter with back-to-back buckets. But as with the other quarter so far, there were not enough other Chennai players stepping up. For Delhi, point guard Sachin Sharma, who has had a quiet series thus far, put on a show in the second half. Despite his small size, he managed to get to the basket relatively effortlessly on multiple occasions. Forward Smithin was effective in the post for Delhi, peppering their scoring with well-timed buckets. Chennai’s shooting troubles continued, as their 3-point field goal percentage was a measly 4% on 1 of 27 shooting in the entire contest. Player of the final match Sachin Sharma. Up by 20 points going into the fourth period, Delhi kept firing away, shooting lights out from the field at almost 60%. Smithin began the final period knocking down a mid-range jumper, which was followed by a slew of triples from Vinay Kaushik and Ajay Pratap Singh. Carmel kept fighting for Delhi, but it was not enough as Chennai could not control Delhi on the defensive end. The game did get a little chippy midway through the fourth as Agu and Sachin went at each other and the Delhi captain picked up a technical foul soon after. Drama aside, Delhi managed to keep their scoring going with a burst of layups from Sachin and Ajay Pratap down the stretch clinching the game for Delhi. The Capitals captured Game 3 of the 2016 UBA Finals in blowout fashion with a 92-65 victory, toppling defending champions Chennai Slam. Delhi point guard and captain, Sachin Sharma, was awarded the player of the match. Delhi Capitals (Ajay Pratap Singh 21pts, Sachin Sharma 10pts, Vinay Kaushik 19pts 5asts) bt Chennai Slam (Cammy Carmel 22pts, Gopal Ram 18pts, Arjun GK 9pts) 92-65 (21-18, 24-13, 20-14, 27-20) Runners up Chennai Slam.

__label__cc	0.568873	0.431127	"apostalic" Church Thread starter DerekMK DerekMK Protokentarchos This term "apostalic" church gets thrown around to describe various conservititve protestants or Oriental Orthodox. What exactly does this mean when ecumenically minded people use this term? Would anyone who uses the term wish to clarify what it means? sergesblog.blogspot.com Ukrainian Archdiocese of Philadelphia First, I admit the notion of apostolicity outside the borders within which one puts the Church is a Catholic one. The Orthodox will go far as to admit ‘valid form’, etc. but are agnostic about grace outside Orthodoxy. My use of ‘apostolic’ mirrors what appear to be Catholicism’s criteria for recognition of orders and Communion: basic credal orthodoxy (such as on the Trinity, divinity of Christ, hypostatic union, virgin birth and physical resurrection), a lineage of apostolic succession and — here’s the kicker — historically consistent, unbroken teaching and practice about the Eucharist (belief in the Real Presence — that the Sacrament IS the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ). Any church that has all these is seen unequivocally as apostolic — ‘valid’ orders and ‘valid’ Eucharist, in western Catholic-speak — by the Catholic Church. Such is how it views the Orthodox Church, the Oriental Churches, the Assyrian Church and small Western schisms that have maintained orthodox beliefs on these matters and have retained the form of the all-male apostolic ministry (the only such group in America is the small Polish National Catholic Church, descendents of an 1800s immigrant schism). Such are Churches with a capital C from this POV. The Orthodox, again, would concede that the forms are there in these churches but will add that the only guarantee of grace from their POV is to bring these forms into the community of the Orthodox Church. There are also some Protestant churches that use the word apostolic in their names and as their denominational name but I don’t know what they mean by that. They don’t mean the same thing by it that we do here. Dan Lauffer Joliet, Illinois "There are also some Protestant churches that use the word apostolic in their names and as their denominational name but I don’t know what they mean by that. They don’t mean the same thing by it that we do here." It usually mean Pentecostal or some variation of this. They believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, especially other tongues, is still manifested in those churches that are truly apostolic. It usually mean Pentecostal or some variation of this. Thanks, Dan. That’s what I thought it meant but wasn’t sure. High Elder Apostolicity: I view this as Serge, who has frequently made his views on "Churchness" known, does. He sees his Church to be the one Church and chooses to exercise his freedom of opinion granted in Orthodoxy to ponder over the spiritual state of the other Churches. Aside from the fact that Catholicism officially holds the view Serge here espouses, my subscribing to the same view can also be traced to the cultural mileu I hail from, where most Christians are Apostolic, and as a minority, we exhibit a solidarity on the level of the common people that is unusual in areas like the Balkans or North America, a domain of intellectual converts and spiritual seekers whose ties to their faiths are more convictional than familial or ethnic, which I submit makes them more aware than woefully ignorant of the deadly catastrophe known as AmChurch and N.O.ism to which ethnics are more vulnerable. The Levant is one of the few places where the word "Christian" as opposed to "Orthodox" and "Catholic", is not shyed away from, and functions as a synonym for an Apostolic. The Eucharist is the Eucharist, and most would not bother to deny its reality in the other Churches, of which they aren't members. Familial ties by marriage is another reason. There are even cases where a child is baptized in a Church other than his own, even one outside of his own communion, particularly in famous ancient shrines like Said Naya where it is customary for people to make vows to have children baptized there. Even some Muslims baptize their children over there. In IC XC Hypo-Ortho Samer<<Even some Muslims baptize their children over there.>> And THIS is "Apostolic"?? ??? Hypo-Ortho said: <<Even some Muslims baptize their children over there.>> No, I'm only giving you an idea of the cultural climate as it exists in some areas. Serge has a link to a Dalrymple column that descibes a scene of Muslims--making up the majority of the worshippers in the church--praying in prostration inside Said Naya. Muslim children in the Balkans are sometimes "baptized" by relatives; its "magic" you know! Play by your own rules...? Since the term "Orthodox in communion with Rome" has been banned from the forums, I am curious after seeing the ecumenist definition of apostalic why non Orthodox are allowed to be called that on this forum. It is the same thing, reducing Orthodoxy to any "church" with smells and bell (to borrow the RC lingo). How can Apostalic nature of Orthodoxy be seperated from her and that term given to "churches" that teach papal infallibility, dual procession of the Holy Spirit etc. Are they novel doctrines worthy of the holy titlte apostalic? Also, why adopt the Latins ecclesiology...legal formulae is all that matters in valid orders, not possesing the True faith? Orthodoc [Since the term "Orthodox in communion with Rome" has been banned from the forums, I am curious after seeing the ecumenist definition of apostalic why non Orthodox are allowed to be called that on this forum.] When was the term 'Orthodox In Communion With Rome" banned from this list? There are those like myself that abhor the term for various reasons that have been stated here more than once. There are also those like myself that will continue to speak out against it whenever it is used here and elsewhere. But there is no one (including myself) that has demanded it be banned from this site. Nothing should be banned. This is a discussion group. That is the point. Maybe I am confused, but I thought people were asked not to use the term as it is offensive to Orthodox a few months back. If I am mistaken, I apologize. Perhaps banned is not the word I was looking for. But I still don't understand how Orthodox can called an heretical group apostalic. I mean no dis-respect to these groups (I am a former Latin myself and am gratefull for the good things I learned there and hold no grudge). In the end the only reason that I can see for this is the branch theory and ecumenism. Linus7 My understanding of the term "apostolic" would limit it to the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church founded by Jesus Himself (Matt.16:18-19). That would be the Holy Orthodox Church, since she alone has maintained the Apostolic Tradition without change or innovation. There are other groups within Christendom that have a valid historical apostolic succession of bishops but who have introduced obvious innovations into Christian teaching. Thus they have removed themselves from the one true Church and cannot claim true apostolic status. The Roman Church is the chief example of these latter groups. This is not meant to be offensive, and I pray for the reunion of the Roman Church with the Holy Orthodox Church. But such a reunion must proceed from a recognition by the Roman Pontiff of his need for repentance and a return to his rightful place as "first among equals" within the college of bishops. It would also necessitate a repudiation by Rome of the many novelties and errors she has introduced into Christian teaching. Anastasios Merarches www.anastasioshudson.com Greek Old Calendarist What we said was that the term "Orthodox in Communion with Rome" was offensive to Orthodox so the term "Eastern (Rite) Catholic" should be substituted. If you wish to use that term for Eastern Catholics, be my guest, but you'll encounter lots of opposition! (that's how I sign my posts when speaking officially, and I make the post blue.) [What we said was that the term "Orthodox in Communion with Rome" was offensive to Orthodox so the term "Eastern (Rite) Catholic" should be substituted.

__label__wiki	0.781584	0.781584	Windham family hosts Taiwanese students By Elizabeth Richards Imagine welcoming a group of 10 international students ages 8 to 16 and a couple of their parents into your home for an entire month. Imagine coordinating schedules for these children to attend educational camp programs, visit tourist sites, and experience life in a small American community. For the Bennett family of Windham, this is reality, as they host a group of Taiwanese children and parents in their home for the month of July. Nathaniel and Nini Bennett met in Taiwan when Nathaniel was teaching there. The experiences that Nathaniel shared about growing up in Windham were the inspiration for hosting groups in their home, said Nini. “My husband came from here. He had a good experience when he grew up and he shared his experience with us. We would like to share his town with all the Taiwanese kids,” she said. The group is connected to a small English school the Bennetts operate in Nini’s native Taiwan. Nathaniel said the children are either students at the school or friends of students. They invite students from their school to spend a month with them, and use that time to introduce them to Windham and to Maine, letting them experience the American education system, food and way of life, said Nini. “We can teach them over there, but there’s only so far we can go,” said Nathaniel. “They have to come over here and interact with the other kids, they really have to.” There’s a lot of pressure in school in Taiwain, Nathaniel said. While their test based system works well for some students, for others it does not, but they could do well here in the US. “We’re trying to introduce them to another choice,” he said. Though there is an adjustment period for the kids when they first arrive, Nathaniel said they love it. “They see a new way,” he said. This isn’t the first summer the Bennetts have opened up their home. Nathaniel said they’ve been bringing groups from Taiwan to Windham since they returned here to live. They want to introduce an international element into the community, which can be difficult, said Nathaniel. “We want to mesh with the community somehow,” he added. Nini agreed. “What we would like to do is we would like to develop Windham,” she said. “We see many opportunities.” For example, she said, they would like to have long term educational opportunities in the community for Taiwanese students, rather than just a month in summer. The summer is an opportunity for them to try it, she said. Nathaniel added that they have already hosted students for longer time periods, and these students studied at Windham Christian Academy and Cheverus High School. This group arrived in early July, and will stay with the Bennetts until July 30. The first five days the group was in town was a whirlwind of activity, with visits to Aquaboggin, Portland Headlight and Cliff Island, among other activities. After those first days, the students settled into their summer programs. Two students left for Amherst, Massachusetts to participate in the Great Books program at Amherst College. Seven others are participating in the summer program at Waynflete, and another student has spent time in art programs at both the University of Southern Maine and the Maine College of Art. Another Taiwanese couple is staying with their son for 45 days in an apartment over the Bennett’s garage, and taking him to the same program at Waynflete. When asked what their goals are in bringing the groups to Windham, Nathaniel said, “We just want to introduce them to the community, and we hope the community can be open to it. Our goal is to have the community embrace other cultures and be open to that.” Posted by Michelle Libby at 4:18 PM Jesse Jordan and his dog By Michelle Libby Unsupervised skatepark vandalized By Michelle Libby Kaile's Korner heads to television By Michelle Libby 3 on 3 basketball funraiser shoots and scores By M...

__label__cc	0.533603	0.466397	In most of our Iowa Living magazines this month, we feature stories on local dentists from each community and share why these folks selected their chosen professions. With February being National Children’s Dental Health Month, it seemed like a logical fit. And speaking of kids and dentists, the relationships between the two have certainly come a long way. There are few people in life whom I feared more than my childhood dentist, Dr. J.G. Clapsaddle. I am sure he was a nice man, but the mask and the needles and the drills made him seem like a villain from a monster movie to this apprehensive kid. Today, I see kids smiling and skipping and looking forward to the trip to the dentist, and that is a credit to all the professionals in the industry who have focused on making dental hygiene a more pleasant experience. Be sure to check out our stories at www.iowalivingmagazines.com and join us in saying thank you to dentists everywhere who make us proud to smile. Have a wonderful Wednesday, and thanks for reading.

__label__wiki	0.925021	0.925021	Home Asian News Bypolls an endorsement of incumbent governments : BJP Bypolls an endorsement of incumbent governments : BJP NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday described the outcome of the by polls held in 29 assembly constituencies across 13 states and in three Lok Sabha constituencies as an endorsement of the incumbent governments barring the exception of Himachal Pradesh where the party lost all three assembly seats it contested and did not win the single Lok Sabha seat as well. Senior party leaders also emphasized that the outcome is not a reflection on the performance of the BJP at the centre. While it managed to win all five seats in Assam, the party’s performance in Himachal Pradesh, which goes to polls in 2022, and where the BJP is in power, Rajasthan where it emerged third and fourth in the two assembly constituencies where bypolls were held, and in Karnataka, where it lost a seat in Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai’s hometurf of Hanagal has sounded an alarm. A senior party leader said the outcome in Himachal Pradesh is a consequence of the Jairam Thakur government having failed to counter grievances against price rise, control infighting in the state unit, and erring in ticket distribution. “There is a perception that the government was not seen to be addressing the issues of price rise, which has clearly gone in the favour of the Congress party. The other issue was the decision of not giving tickets to kin of party leaders. While the intent was to create a level playing field, in Jubbal-Kotkhai for instance, the BJP candidate ended up in the third place with a mere 4% vote,” added this person, a senior leader based in Delhi. Thakur attributed the loss to inflation, but it is clear that he may have to take the blame for the loss. A second leader of the BJP said the election results have reiterated the need for strong local leadership. “States where the chief ministers are strong, the by-poll results have gone in their favour. Take the case of Assam and Madhya Pradesh. In MP amid reports of severe anti-incumbency CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan campaigned aggressively and took measures to mitigate public anger; his election campaign was centered around communities especially the marginalised tribes and castes.” Winning Prithvipur and Jobat, both seats held by the Congress has come as a shot in the arm for Chouhan and taken the focus off the loss the party faced in Raigaon which was held by the BJP. The BJP also won the Khandwa Lok Sabha by poll. BJP leader and in-charge of MP, Muralidhar Rao, said the party’s victory was in response to the successful pro people policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Chouhan. “The people’s welfare policies have won the seal of public approval.” The party’s loss in Rajasthan has been exacerbated by the wide margins of loss and the shrinking vote share. “There is need to rejig the party apparatus in the state. The local unit is fraught with infighting. Despite the central leadership’s intervention, the unit has not been able to put asides its differences and fight as a cohesive unit,” said the first functionary.

Knott, Robert, 1954- "Itinerant lawmen Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch return to confront an escaped criminal in the grittiest entry yet of the New York Times bestselling series. Territorial marshals Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch figured things had finally settled down in Appaloosa when Boston Bill Black's murder charge was dropped. But all that changed when Augustus Noble Driggs was transferred to a stateside penitentiary just across the border from Mexico. Square-jawed, handsome, and built like a muscled thoroughbred stallion, Driggs manages to intimidate everyone inside the prison walls, including the upstart young warden. In a haunting twist of fate, Driggs and a pack of cold-blooded convicts are suddenly on the loose--and it's up to any and all territorial lawmen, including Cole and Hitch, to capture the fugitives and rescue the woman kidnapped during their escape. But nothing is ever quite what it seems with the ever-elusive Driggs. Finally free, he's quickly on his own furious hunt for a hidden cache of gold and jewels--and for the men who betrayed him and left him for dead. With an unlikely and unconventional Yankee detective by their side, Cole and Hitch set off on a massive manhunt. As horses' hooves thunder and guns echo deadening reports, Driggs discovers one of the lawmen on his trail is none other than a fellow West Point graduate he'd just as soon see dead.

__label__wiki	0.804067	0.804067	The Living Christmas Card (LCC) was founded in 1987 by Sheri and Craig Marshall of Lewisville, Texas with one a cappella quartet of carolers. As the ensemble's popularity increased, the Marshalls found themselves unable to respond to the volume of requests, particularly at peak times and days, i.e, Saturday nights in December. To meet market demands, the couple trained and costumed a second quartet, and, as the number of requests continued to increase the number of singers to meet the demand. Today, LCC is a network of more than 100 singers performing in quartets in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Houston and Detroit. In addition, a compact disc of LCC holiday repertoire and a video have been recorded by the original, premiere performing quartet, located in the Metroplex. All calls in each city for LCC appearances ring at an 800-number in Lewisville; the Marshalls then contact individual singers in each city and assign performance dates, times and locations. LCC has been marketed primarily through entertainment and party services in each area, but many calls come in as a result of word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied buyers and requests for return engagements. The Marshalls maintain a wardrobe of Victorian costumes for singers in all cities. Each costume is carefully researched and designed to replicate closely the elegant, late-1800s attire and is custom-tailored based on each singer's measurements. Sheri Marshall designs and constructs all bonnets worn by female singers; men's top hats are purchased. Women's costumes are made of fabrics in jewel tones e.g., royal purples, emerald greens, ruby reds, topaz golds and sapphire blues. Gentlemen singers are attired in dapper tailcoats and waistcoats of shades of black and smoky grays. Selection and training of the singers has changed as the business has grown; today, LCC singers do not rehearse or perform in specific quartets. Instead, the Marshalls hold auditions early each fall in each city. Qualified singers receive LCC training materials that have been designed by the Marshalls so any trained singer can sing with any other three singers and produce a perfect product, complete with identical phrasings, breathing, dynamics and enunciations. LCC singers learn their parts from sheet music and from CDs recorded by the premiere performing group. Three parts are recorded on one track, the fourth on a separate track, so a new singer can learn his or her part by controlling volume levels of each track. A new alto, for example, can sing with her part only, then add the other three parts, then diminish the alto track volume so she sings with only the other three parts, just as she will in performance. Provided sheet music is marked specifically as to dynamics, phrasings, breathing, etc., to match precisely the tapes. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, many of the singers are music graduates of the University of North Texas (UNT). Principal LCC arrangers are Craig Marshall and Jett Cheek, Marshall's former classmate at UNT. Detroit was chosen for expansion because Craig Marshall is a Detroit-area native and has maintained strong contacts in the the Motor City music community. Other cities are locations of former LCC singers who wish to continue involvement with LCC on a professional level. The Marshalls anticipate the day soon will come when they restructure the business into a franchise operation, turning over the audition process and specific singer assignments to former members, while they continue to handle all bookings. Marshall credits the remarkable success of LCC to three elements: (1) consistent, high quality performance by and overall professionalism of LCC singers, (2) carefully selected repertoire and custom arrangements written for maximum listener interest and (3) the outstanding, authentic visual image created by custom-tailored Victorian costumes.	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line100

MGM. Director: Norman Jewison. Cast: Cher, Nicolas Cage, Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aiello. John Patrick Shanley gives good speech. The playwright of Italian American Reconciliation, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea and Doubt and screenwriter of Five Corners and Joe Versus the Volcano knows how to build up a head of dramaturgical steam, and his Oscar-winning 1987 screenplay for Moonstruck found game speechifiers in Cher and Nicolas Cage. The romantic comedy wears its off-balance as a badge of pride, as evidenced by a passionate rant given to Cage: "Love don't make things nice—it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bullshit." Love's messiness certainly informs Moonstruck. As Loretta Castorini (Cher) learns the hard way, love doesn't arrive on a timetable or at our convenience. Feeling every one of her thirty-seven years, Loretta acquiesces to marry her amiable but dull boyfriend, Johnny Cammareri (Danny Aiello). In answer to her mother Rose (Olympia Dukakis), Loretta confesses that she doesn't love Johnny. "Good," Rose replies. "When you love them, they drive you crazy because they know they can." Complications arise when Johnny, before flying off to his mother's deathbed in Palermo, makes Loretta promise to visit his estranged brother Ronny and get him to agree to come to the wedding. Baker Ronny turns out to be a fiery fellow with only one hand, the other having been lost to a bread slicer: blaming Johnny, Ronny has wallowed in isolation (and tragic opera) ever since. Sparks fly, of course, and before long Ronny and Loretta share a bed and a date to see La Bohème. Though it suffers from a cutesy streak, Moonstruck sidesteps the usual romantic comedy hijinks, and takes a winning interest in the ethnic character and distinctive personalities of Little Italy. Both Cher and Dukakis collected Oscar gold for their wry performances (the latter probably sealed her win with her delivery of the line "Old man, you give those dogs another piece of my food and I'm gonna kick you 'til you're dead!"), Cage gives one of his trademark offbeat performances, and strong support comes from Aiello, Vincent Gardenia as Loretta's philandering father Cosmo, and John Mahoney as a young-womanizing professor suprised to find himself entranced by Rose. Part of what sets Moonstruck apart from the pack is its willingness not only to indulge romantic fantasy (the lunatic influence of the moon) but to acknowledge our drive to stay ahead of the Grim Reaper (Cosmo cheats "because he fears death"). As confidently directed by Norman Jewison, Moonstruck adds a bit of flavor to an often bland genre. Share/bookmark: Permalink Aspect ratios: 1.85:1 Audio: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Distributor: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment MGM gives Moonstruck a solid if less than stellar upgrade to Blu-ray in a special edition retaining the extras from the 2006 Deluxe Edition DVD release. The image retains a natural, filmic look, with true color and palpable grain. Detail gets a bump up, contrast is accurate, and digital artifacts are kept to a minimum: on the whole, it's a good presentation of a film that has never looked razor sharp. Still, the softness, stray dirt, and unrefined shadow detail suggests this may be a somewhat dated hi-def transfer that could yet see some improvement. The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix recreates effectively maximizes the original elements with effective use of rear channels to wrap around ambient effects and music. An audio commentary by director Norman Jewison, Cher, and writer John Patrick Shanley gives a stitched-together overview of the participants' memories and feelings regarded the film and its reception. "Moonstruck: At the Heart of an Italian Family" (25:29, SD) gathers Jewison, Shanley, Cher, Olympia Dukakis, Julie Bovasso, John Mahoney, Vincent Gardenia, Danny Aiello, Nicolas Cage, production designer Philip Rosenberg, and married couples Tom and Susan Conte, Steve and Angela Dolcemaschio, Fred and Rose Donato, John and Toni Deliso, and John and Emily Deliso to discuss making the film and its representation of Italian life and love.

PART 3: This post is the third in a series on What is gender? Click here to read the first post, or here to return to the previous post. THE CONVERSATION ON “GENDER AS SUBCONSCIOUS SEX.” For transsexual persons, their assigned and determined sex are more straightforward. The doctors see a majority of sexed characteristics lining up one way, and so they assign gender based on that sex. For a male-to-female transsexual like myself, a rigorous medical evaluation of my body would probably conclude that my primary sexual characteristics at birth – chromosomes and genitals – are male-typical. So I am, by most definitions of determined sex, a male. The doctors assigned my sex (male) without any consternation, and consequently assigned my gender (boy) without missing a beat. I was born into embattlement because the doctor’s biological designation assumes something about my gender trajectory. She assumes that since my body has male-typical characteristics, I will embody those characteristics in a male-typical way and will experience them as normative. In other words, unlike intersex people where the locus of conflict begins before we even talk about gender, for transsexual people the locus starts with and encompasses all of gender and reflects back on sex. For many transsexual people, their fight with gender is not merely social; there’s a deep physical component to it. The embattlement isn’t just with “you have a penis so you’re male so you’re a boy so you should behave in xyz fashion.” The embattlement questions whether having a penis makes one a boy, and sometimes even whether it makes one male, or whether one ought to have a penis at all. So even though the facts of sex development are at least mostly unambiguous, the interpretation of these facts is almost as problematic as for an intersex person. A conflict exists right at the point at which you start making assumptions about a transsexual based on their genital morphology. To be clear, I’m not talking about all transgender individuals, but specificallytranssexuals with serious body dysmorphia. I’m talking about people who feel and experience themselves very strongly as belonging to a particular sex, even when the physiological data of their sex characteristics would beg otherwise. I’m talking about transsexuality here as a phenomenon, not an identity. Some transsexed individuals identify as transsexuals, some as transgender, and others as gender non-conforming. I use the word “belonging” very deliberately because I think it’s the most accurate word to describe the transsexual experience. Phrases like “I feel like a girl trapped in a boy’s body” or “I always knew I was a girl” are oversimplifications. Other phrases like “I want to be female” or “I desire to become a woman” are also oversimplifications. The reality is somewhere in the middle, with a feeling of belonging, of ought-ness, regarding the other sex. On one hand I grew up knowing full well what it meant to have a penis and be called a ‘boy,’ so I didn’t assert that I wasn’t male. But at the same time being female felt so right and proper to me that it wasn’t simply that I wanted “tobecome a girl,” but “to be as a girl.” I’ll try to illustrate what I mean with a personal experience. Freshman year of high school I learned about intersex conditions. I heard that some girls are born with ambiguous genitalia, and that doctors surgically “fix” the genitals to be one way or another (see the previous post). This caused an earthquake in my soul. I spent almost a full week completely convinced I was an intersex girl. I would do regular checks on my penis in an attempt to find evidence of a surgical intervention. I thought my penile raphe – a dark line extending along the penis shaft to the anus – must be a scar from when they surgically constructed my neo-phallus. I almost asked my parents if this was the case, but a quick google search told me that a penile raphe is male-typical. I almost cried. I’d finally found a word – intersex – that somehow fit the feelings I didn’t have words for. I was not happy to find out my genitals were “male-typical.” I want you to reflect for a second on how visceral this experience was. The word “intersex” brought up feelings I couldn’t even begin to articulate. Not that I wanted to be a girl or express femininity, but that my body was a girl’s body that had been altered to look like a boy’s. That I was in fact a girl – a boyish intersex girl, but a girl nonetheless. The feeling wasn’t so much in my head as in my bones. When I heard about intersex conditions, it was like my whole body screamed YES at once. The term gender identity is often used to describe this sense of belonging to the other sex. The problem is “gender identity” nowadays simply means what you “choose” to “identify” as, which does little justice to the transsexual experience. That’s why I’ve decided to distinguish gender identity fromsubconscious sex, a term coined by Julia Serano. Serano unpacks this distinction in her book Whipping Girl: Personally, I have always found the term “gender identity” to be rather misleading. After all, identifying as something, whether it be as a woman, a Democrat, a Christian, a feminist, a cat person, or a metalhead, seems to be a conscious, deliberate choice on our part, one that we make in order to better describe how we think we fit in the world. Thus, with regard to transsexuals, the phrase “gender identity” is problematic because it seems to describe two potentially different things: the gender we consciously choose to identify as, and the gender we subconsciously feel ourselves to be… I am sure that some people will object to me referring to this aspect of my person as subconscious “sex” rather than “gender.” I prefer “sex” because I have experienced it as being rather exclusively about my physical sex, and because for me this subconscious desire to be female has existed independently of the social phenomena commonly associated with the word “gender.”As mentioned previously, my initial experience with my female subconscious sex was not accompanied by any corresponding desire to explore female gender roles or to express femininity… And my female subconscious sex was most certainly not the result of socialization or social gender constructs, as it defied everything I had been taught was true about gender, as well as the constant encouragement I received to think of myself as a boy and to act masculine. (78, 82) There’s growing scientific evidence that this subconscious sex is hardwired in the brain – what I call brain sex. The evidence isn’t conclusive, and there are problems with how people approach the idea of brain sex. Most people think of it in terms of having a stereotypically feminine or masculine hard-wiring, like a ditzy cheerleader brain versus a dumb jock brain. Most of these stereotypes center on sexist, derogatory assumptions about men and women, but are notwhat we’re probably talking about with regards to brain sex. I don’t have a female brain because I’m bad at math. That begs the question why my many girl friends who are great at math aren’t transsexual or at least butch (or why this stereotype even exists when in high school many of the best math students were girls). When we talk about brain sex and subconscious sex, we’re talking about something that’s clearly there regardless of social norms of femininity or masculinity. In 1965 a boy named David Reimer was born biologically male, but a botched circumcision left his penis horribly mutilated. A prominent sexologist John Money firmly believed that gender identity (and by extension, subconscious sex) was socially and environmentally created, and that any child could have any gender identity bestowed on them by upbringing and hormones alone. He performed a sex reassignment surgery on David to transform his mutilated penis into a neo-vagina. Money was certain that David would happily live as a girl. However, from ages 9-11 David clearly developed and identified with a male gender identity. The social experiment was a failure; David’s brain was hard-wired with a male subconscious sex that thwarted any effort to raise him as female. At age 13 he became suicidal and told his parents he’d end his life if he had to see Dr. Money again. The typical transsexual embattlement with gender differs from that of an intersex person and is more similar to that of David Reimer because it’s mainly about the subconscious sex. I have a transsexual friend who has both xx and xy chromosomes, so she technically has a genetic intersex condition even though she doesn’t identify as intersex. Her experience is transsexual because she has a subconscious female sex but was assigned male because of her genitals; her chromosomes had nothing to do with how the doctors perceived her or how she perceives herself. Her embattlement isn’t between her genitals and chromosomes, but between her genitals and her subconscious sex. This is why even if subconscious sex is determined by an intersex condition in the brain (brain sex), it doesn’t really matter. Transsexual women aren’t embattled because a brain scan shows we have a female brain or a gene test shows we have female chromosomes – even if that turns out to be the case. We’re embattled because of how our brain identifies itself versus our sex characteristics and how society identifies us. If brain sex determines whether one feels male or female, then it’s possible that just as one can be born with genitals that are a mix of feminine and masculine, a person could have a brain sex that is biologically undetermined. This means that in some cases, gender non-conforming people who experience themselves as a “third sex” could have an androgynous brain sex. This could also explain why some intersex people don’t experience an inherent subconscious “male” or “female” sex, but a third “bi-gender” or “undetermined” identity. Regardless of whether subconscious sex flows from brain sex, or is determined by other factors, it’s a pervasive component of gender that affects everything from perception of oneself as sexed to perception of one’s proper social group. The notion of having a subconscious sex is foreign to cissexual (non-transsexual) people because they never notice they have one. If their subconscious sex perfectly aligns with their assigned sex, they have no reason to tease out the difference between the two, and the subconscious sex remains unconscious. However, if a cissexual person is asked if they would change genders (“No, then I wouldn’t be me anymore”), or if they’re questioned about what makes them a man or woman (“My penis”; “But what if your penis is amputated?”; “I’d still be a man”), their subconscious sex emerges at least into preconsciousness. They’ll still never be forced to notice subconscious sex in the same manner as transsexuals, for whom it’s a constant self-awareness if they don’t transition. We can talk about gender identity broadly in a way that encompasses subconscious sex, just as we can talk about transsexuals as part of the transgender umbrella, but we also need to talk about these things on their own terms. When a transsexual talks about their gender, they’re often talking about this pervasive, all-encompassing experience of sexual embodiment.

PART 2” (Reblog) August 22, 2015 Terence 188 Comments GENDER AS DETERMINED SEX This post is the second in a series on What is gender? Click here to read the first post. EDIT: I added two paragraphs on the politics of sex determination that I meant to discuss in the original post. THE CONVERSATION ON “GENDER AS DETERMINED SEX.” Our experience of gender begins, whether we’re conscious of it or not, at birth. When the doctor pulls us from the womb, she looks at our genitals and makes an evaluation – does the child look male or female? This evaluation isn’t as straightforward as it may seem. When the doctor looks between the child’s legs, the only thing she sees is the apparent genital morphology. She can’t see the child’s chromosomes, test the child’s gonadal tissue, or perfectly predict the child’s hormonal trajectory. All she sees is whether the child’s genitals look phallic or yonic, and from that she makes a broad biological assumption. This assumption is the child’s assigned sex. For intersex persons with ambiguous genitalia, this process of assigning a sex is thwarted because their genitals don’t read one way or the other. In a more rigorous medical atmosphere, the doctors will then do hormonal and genetic tests to check on the person’s other sexed characteristics. If they find, for example, that the person has xy chromosomes, they may assign that person a male sex even though their genitals are undetermined. This is what I calldetermined sex, the biological pronouncement made once doctors do a thorough evaluation of chromosomes and hormones as well as genitals. Problems arise when the doctors can’t determine one single dominant sex. What if the chromosomes are mixed as well? Often times, in this situation doctors will surgically assign a sex (what we might call constructed sex), and then assign a gender. Assigned gender is the verbal pronouncement the doctor makes after she reads the child as male or female. She pronounces it “a boy” or “a girl.” From assuming the child’s sex, she then foretells – usually correctly, but sometimes incorrectly – that child’s entire gender destiny. This pronouncement most immediately determines the child’s legal sex, the little M or F that appears on their birth certificate, which will determine their legal status in all walks of life. For intersex people, their site of embattlement includes all the above. The doctors aren’t certain about how their sex characteristics add up, so they not only guess at the person’s sex, but also guess at the person’s gender. If a person has both xy chromosomes and a vagina, the doctors are assuming what this mix means. Is the person a single sexed thing – male or female? And can we know from their biology how they will embody those sexed characteristics – as a boy or a girl? In this case, the facts of sex are clearly in question, which throws the world of gender into question as well. [EDIT] Determined sex is largely a medical issue, although brushing it under the rug as “something for the doctors to figure out” overlooks the gender politics that overshadow intersex issues. When a doctor decides the sex of a physiologically “ambiguous” child, he never achieves complete objectivity on the issue. To choose the child’s sex, he first has to choose a theory of gender: often either based on genetics (the person is male because they have xy chromosomes), predominance (the person is female because most of their sex characteristics appear female), or convenience (the person will be made female because it’s easier to surgically create a vagina). The underlying problem is the social pressure to immediately determine the child’s sex and “normalize” it. When a child is born sexually ambiguous, doctors, parents, and clergy often freak out and treat it as a medical emergency. This forces the medical team to make brazen decisions which often leave the child scarred from haphazard invasive surgery. When the child’s sex is undetermined, in many cases the doctors’ guess is as good as anyone’s as to whether they will grow up to be a boy or girl, and so any choice that’s made on behalf of the child is essentially Russian roulette (see the discussion in Part 3 on David Reimer). This is why many intersex activistsadvocate forgoing surgical interventions until the child is old enough to both know their gender identity and make an informed decision. To a limited degree these problems also apply to transsexuals. There is thebiological possibility that transsexuals have a brain that is physiologically sexed as the gender they identify as. This is what I call brain sex. So we can talk tentatively about transsexuality as an intersex condition (what I call being transsexed), in which case assigned and determined sex are thrown into question. If I have a “female” brain and male genitals, why should the doctors assume that my genital sex trumps my brain sex? I think these are valid questions, although I don’t think they’re the primary site of embattlement for transsexuals. I talk about this more in the next section.

OR WHY THE TERM IS BOTH MEANINGLESS AND INDISPENSIBLE This post is the first in a series on What is gender? WHY WE NEED THIS PAIN-IN-THE-ASS WORD. Probably the greatest challenge in writing a blog about gender is that no one – myself included – has any idea what the damn word means. I risk sounding unbearably flippant, I know, but it’s necessary to clear the air about that abominable word. And I mean abominable. The problem with “gender” is that it encompasses altogether too many things, to the point where it’s almost meaningless. It’s kinda like the word “science,” which is really a fancy buzzword that could be expanded to include half the universe. When we say “science,” are we talking about the natural world, empirical exploration in general, natural philosophy, peer-reviewed studies, the scientific method(s), anything that’s falsifiable, anything-that’s-not-metaphysics, math? Gender is even worse. It’s a nice fat term to throw into the fray, but what the hell does anyone mean by it? And yet we need such an all-encompassing word to communicate one of the core human experiences. With all the things that gender may or may not be, one thing that’s certainly true of it is that it’s something we experience. For much of the history of the English language, “gender” just meant a grammatical designation. Was the word masculine or feminine? What pronouns did you use to refer to a person? Some readers may ask: why must gender mean anything other than that? After all, the word “sex” is completely sufficient to talk about what we mean by “men” and “women.” The contemporary definition of “gender” is just a postmodern smoke grenade thrown into the mix to confuse people about the natural sexual binary. On some very basic empirical level, people who throw out that objection are correct. In the animal kingdom, there’s no real need for the word “gender.” Animal bodies are coded as biologically male, female, both, neither, or mixed. It’s simple. It simply is what it is. If an animal is male, it’s male. The reality is purely reproductive – a mechanism of nature within evolution to create diversity and propagate the species. Human beings are, to the chagrin of some, an entirely different animal (pun intended). While the basic reproductive coding remains the same, the physical reality of this coding is overlapped and transformed by mental, spiritual, interpersonal, and sociological dimensions. Animals are generally divided between male or female, but humans are divided much differently: as Men or Women. We aren’t just biological arrangements, but personalized creatureswho subjectively experience and embody those biological arrangements. In the animal kingdom a creature simply has a masculine reproductive potential; in humans it is now a Man, a male person, who embodies that potential and swims in a sea of meaning stemming from his experience as that kind of person. It is in light of this specifically human predicament that we need the word “gender,” because whenever we’re talking about the sex of a human person, we’re always talking about the massive world of meaning-structures attached to that sex. Even the person’s sex is to some degree socially determined. Yes, a given person may have xy chromosomes and a penis. This is a brute biological fact. However, which of those discrete biological facts makes them (their whole person) male? Are they male because they have a penis? Or because they have xy chromosomes? This becomes an important question – or rather, we realize how important it has always been – when we’re confronted with intersex people, individuals with a mix of biological factors. If a person has xy chromosomes and a vagina, are they male or female? More importantly, are they a Man, Woman, both, or neither? For more on the social construction of sex, I highly recommend Thomas Laqueur’s book “Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud.” There’s little argument about the discrete biological factors, and this is why the word “sex” is needed. The intersex person mentioned above in fact has xy chromosomes. They also in fact have genitals with a morphology we’d label “vaginal” and “female-typical.” It’s a brute biological fact. But there’s plenty to argue about regarding which discrete biological fact is determinative of the entire person, and what that determination means for their place in society. And as long as there’s plenty to argue about, we need the word “gender.” WHAT THIS PAIN-IN-THE-ASS WORD MEANS. So we’ve established that sex – as opposed to gender – refers to biological factors that often exist on a binary. And gender – as opposed to sex – refers to how we interpret, embody, and personalize those biological factors, as well as all peripheral issues tied to them. The fact remains that we need that second word – gender – simply because humans do in fact interpret, embody, prioritize, and personalize their sex characteristics, and whenever we’re talking about sex, we’re inevitably talking about gender too. So the term is necessary, but it’s useless. Why is it useless? Because gender means so many different things. When people argue about whether Caitlyn Jenner is a man or woman, more often than not they’re shouting past each other while wielding one particular facet of gender. When people from different parts of the transgender spectrum talk about their identities, they’re often pointing to completely different pieces of the gender puzzle. This is why the narratives of genderqueer and transsexual people often seem to contradict each other. The two groups are usually focusing on different aspects of gender. So if we’re going to salvage the word, we need to break it down into its components. We need to realize that when the media soundbytes gender, it’s usually taking all these different substances and blending their most superficial aspects into a frankenjuice. Radical feminist gender theory, transsexual personal narratives, social commentaries, sex biology, and drag performance are smeared into one colorless conversation when really there’s about twenty different conversations we need to be having. Here is a chart where I break down a few (only a few) of the major components of gender and their interactions with each other. As you can see, there’s a lot going on. Each and every one of these is its own conversation, its own conundrum, and its own locus of problems for people who don’t fit into a gender binary. It’s absolutely vital that we keep all these elements in mind when we talk about gender. If we’re going to talk candidly, we need to break away from the false debate between biological essentialism and gender ideology. Both sides want to reduce sex-gender complexity down to an easily-digestible single idea, but both sides in doing so cover up the factual complexity. To biological fundamentalists who believe the entire sex-gender matrix can be reduced down to what’s between your legs, you’re fighting against the facts. The fact is that male-female sex id is complicated. The fact is that coding blue as “masculine” and pink as “feminine” is a recent historical construct. The fact is that some males are naturally feminine, and it has nothing to do with childhood trauma. To gender ideologists who believe the entire sex-gender matrix can be reduced down to oppressive social constructs, you’re fighting against the facts. The fact is that human sex usually exists dichotomously and bears experiential meaning that goes beyond social groupings. The fact is that many cisgender men and women are naturally masculine and feminine irrespective of social pressure. The fact is that many transsexual people experience first-hand the reality of physiological and hormonal sex differences that go deeper than social conditioning. In other words, both essentialists and deconstructionists are at once right and wrong. We need to stop parsing out the facts in an oppositional way and start looking at the big picture without taking a side in a cultural agenda. Ockham’s Razor needs to be as discerning as it is useful. Instead of formally defining each term, I’m going to talk about how they each serve as sites of gender embattlement for people who don’t fit into a rigid binary. There’s an important intersectionality between all people who deal with gender, whether they’re female-to-male transsexual or bronies, and I don’t want to lose that sense of interconnectedness. But since all aspects of gender are so often conflated, I think it’s important to highlight different kinds of gender narratives. I want to delve somewhat in depth into each of these gender conversations, so as a primer allow me to first outline why each one is its own conversation. Many different people identify as transgender or queer, but not all of them do so for the same reason. An intersex guy who was literally assigned a sex at random by doctors because they couldn’t figure out what he is might identify as transgender because the doctors guessed his biological sex wrong. A transsexual who feels like a woman even though her body is male-typical might identify as transgender because although the doctors perceived her body correctly, they made massive assumptions about her sense of embodiment and how she would experience her sex. A transgenderist who lives as a “male woman” or “female man” might identify as transgender because they don’t fit into the expectations of masculinity or femininity placed upon them and want to live according to the gender expectations placed on the other sex. Agenderqueer person might identify as transgender because they don’t feel like they fit in as a boy or girl and want an identity that will allow them to simply be themselves. Many other people might sympathize with the transgender movement because they have aspects of themselves that are stereotypically associated with the other sex, like sensitivity in men or tomboyishness in women. Each of these “types” of transgender people are headbutting against one aspect of gender, although it’s a different aspect for each of them. End of Part 1.

__label__wiki	0.652417	0.652417	serah fanlisting Throughout the series, Serah gets two default outfits (two whole outfits! Look out, wardrobe). Her first is the attire she wears throughout XIII, and the second are clothes granted by the Goddess Etro when Lightning makes her a Champion for said Goddess, because everyone deserves a magical clothing transformation during a meteor strike. These outfits aren’t entirely exclusive. The first one doesn’t disappear - to be correct, Serah’s actual default outfit for the entire saga is her XIII attire, as it’s how she begins the game in XIII-2, and there’s a brief section following her succumbing to her heart’s desire, if she isn’t dressed in a DLC outfit. Serah’s soul appears in Valhalla this way too, and her consequent appearances after in LR - it’s how Lightning occasionally sees Lumina, and how Bhunivelze sends the duplicate to keep Lightning amenable and remind her of what she would lose if she turned against him. In the ending cinematic for Lightning Returns, Serah is once again in her Etro given attire, which is the only time it’s given precedence outside of XIII-2’s main storyline. If I were to choose my favourite of Serah’s defaults, it would be her XIII outfit. I don’t dislike the other one per say - it fits with her colour scheme, it does suit her, and yet... do we really need that skin on her hips, Square? Do we really. Ugh. Given Final Fantasy XIII-2 was released around the advent of DLC and its growing popularity for developers, this meant DLC episodes and monsters to fight - and of course, outfits! From left to right: N7 Armor, Style & Steel, Summoner’s Garb, Beachwear, White Mage. These outfits were released gradually and are all available on both PS3 and Xbox 360. Style & Steel is free, the rest must be purchased. All except the N7 Amor are automatically included in the PC version of XIII-2. I have mixed feelings over the existence of DLC but I am, admittedly, a sucker for outfits. Colouring Lightning’s garbs was a large part of my Lightning Returns experience (bonus free tip: she looks great in sky blue in Quiet Guardian with the matching hat). Because Serah is my favourite, naturally I own all her DLC attire, ranging from scenes to entire playthroughs wearing them. I’m fond of Style & Steel thematically because it harks back to Lightning’s Corps outfit from the first game, right down to the shield - back in the day there was an online vote between Style & Steel and something red riding hood inspired, but it’s good to know I wasn’t the only one that saw the reminiscence. The only part I’m not so keen on are those shoulder decorations. The less said about Beachwear the better (it’s fine, again I don’t dislike it, but I’m so jaded and tired. If Serah gets put in bikini armour, Noel should get speedos. Or a bikini, I’m flexible). I’m not that fond of Summoner’s Garb either, which is a mystery even to me - I guess it just doesn’t appeal to me visually, as the colours clash so often on screen (because XIII-2 is a game of pinks and reds), which is anytime it’s not night and that’s decidedly often. There is however a very clear reference to Yuna in its description, which is one thing I do like about it. My favourite outfit for Serah is actually White Mage. I’ve played the game through with a White Mage clad Serah and I honestly think it should have been her default - it matches with Noel’s Black Mage, it’s sensible, practical, and well-designed. And there’s no unnecessary skin! Greens and oranges were not the colours I associated with Serah at the time, but surprisingly they do work, because pastel tones are something I do. The practicality aspect could be said for the N7 Armour as well, but this outfit is from Bioware’s Mass Effect 3 and is worn by the titular hero, Shepard, so credit where it’s due. It’s a nice inclusion and one that I missed until more recently - having finally jumped into Mass Effect, I had no qualms about booting up XIII-2 and running around Academia with some N7 heroes, chuckling to myself the whole time. Both Serah and Noel get N7 armour, but it’s not the only third party costume - .the other is for just for Noel, with an Ezio Auditore outfit courtesy of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. The hood does an exceptional job of making him incredibly extra, since his eyes are invisible for most of his cutscenes. Much hood, very drama. As trivia, in all of Serah’s outfits, her engagement pendant is always remains visible, which I think is a nice touch. farron nevarra cieth Amassment site & content © rems 2016-2020 final fantasy xiii & serah © square enix	cc/2022-05/en_middle_0086.json.gz/line121
__label__wiki	0.553977	0.553977	SUBMIT BOOK General Book Review The Ancestor By Lee Matthew Goldberg "A captivating thriller carved out in the heart of unknown family ties between two strangers whose fate changes after a brief encounter in the wilderness of Alaska." Is Blood Really Thicker Than Water? Genre - fantasy, General Fiction (Adult), Thriller The Ancestor begins with Wyatt Barlow’s resurrection and battle with a wolf in a cave of Alaska. Lost in time, Wyatt is unable to recollect any of his memories of how he reached there. As he leaves the wilderness to find his strings to past, he meets Travis, who is not only his doppelganger but a descendant of his own lineage. While he tries to get along in a world that has changed beyond his imagination, his thirst for something leads him in the circle of drugs, prostitutes, murders and deceit. Love, family, faith and friendship every bond that binds two humans will be tested against the animal instincts we all try our best to hide. Structure and Elements of the story The Ancestor is a thriller novel with an intriguing plot and some fantasy elements that are beyond reason and the argument for the same are also not scientifically correct. But who cares? It is all a fiction. The story is weaved in Laner, Alaska in the 21st Century and bounces back and forth to 1898 when people used to leave family and friends in search of fortune in foreign lands. Ancient and local dialects, geographical and historical references and differences are researched and justified in their use in the novel. The most notable element is the ‘Human Nature’ itself, the selfish, greedy, jealous, infidel and treacherous flesh and blood can betray one of its own kind or its own blood when the time comes. “Under the lake by Anvil Creek, a man has been frozen much like another man in the same wilderness had been frozen, in this area of Alaska where silence is the loudest sound.” Story Development and Writing Lee Matthew Goldberg has authored many novels and knows the art of storytelling. A complex plot with many characters, each with their own backstory can either get the reader interested or may put them off, if not narrated carefully. But, that is not the case with this novel. The story reveals each character’s struggle with their inner demon at a perfect pace and time in the novel which leads the story further towards the climax. “She hates that she might’ve been more relieved to know that he had.” Though I found the novel could have been less descriptive and the backstory and space of one or two characters could have been shorter as I skipped some pages to read the main story. The Ancestor is an interesting thriller novel with an intriguing plot spanning over centuries. It is a well written novel and needs to be read with some time and patience to understand the narrative well. I recommend to all suspense/thriller lover who are looking for a rich and captivating novel.

__label__wiki	0.895328	0.895328	Sociology » Sociology of Race » Biracialism Biracialism is used to indicate a racial ancestry comprised of two ‘‘races.’’ The term generally refers to first generation persons of ‘‘mixed race’’ heritage, i.e., individuals who have parents of socially defined, distinct racial groups. Biracialism is sometimes used interchangeably with multiraciality or ‘‘mixed race.’’ Social scientists are concerned with the myriad meanings of biracialism in private and public spheres. Micro level analyses delve into the process of racial identity development and how biracial persons construct their racial identities in social interaction. Macro level analyses examine how race is measured and its role in demographic statistics, government policies, and state politics. ‘‘Mixed race’’ ancestry, steeped in the legacy of colonialism and slavery, is not a new social phenomenon, but biracialism is a relatively young concept. The emergence of ‘‘biracialism’’ reflects a growing acceptance – or at least, recognition – of ‘‘mixed race’’ populations, and illustrates the successful lobbying of biracial persons and interracial families to dismiss single race classification schemes as inadequate for identifying or categorizing people of ‘‘mixed race’’ heritage. An increasingly diverse global society is characterized by growing rates of immigration and interracial unions. Coupled with shifting racial boundaries, a new cultural space has opened up for biracial individuals to define themselves and claim racial identities previously unavailable to them – insofar as these identity options exist within the social structure. Ifekwunigwe’s (2004) organization of ‘‘mixed race’’ scholarship into three distinct stages provides a useful conceptual framework for understanding the development of biracialism: pathology, celebration, and critique. Pseudoscience was the reigning influence of the ‘‘age of pathology,’’ resulting in the stratification of socially defined racial categories. This racial hierarchy positioned the ‘‘white’’ race at the top; the dominating myth of white racial purity defined miscegenation as a threat to white supremacy and a pollutant of the white race. Offspring of interracial unions were considered genetically inferior to those of the white race. Sound science prevailed eventually, demanding a departure from treating race as biologically determined. With academic roots in counseling and developmental psychology, early studies on biracialism relied primarily on psychoanalytic perspectives of identity formation as a theoretical framework. These studies advanced our knowledge by proposing different models of biracial identity development, but also drew heavily from clinical samples – contributing in part to the continued stigmatization of biracialism. The groundbreaking anthology of both popular and scholarly writing, Racially Mixed People in America (Root 1992), was important because many of the authors were themselves biracial, and they treated biracial people as an independent population rather than as a subset or subculture of a racial minority parent group. The ‘‘age of celebration’’ was ushered in with personal memoirs of biracialism and theoretical exploration of ‘‘mixed race’’ identity, and was distinguished by a ‘‘mixed race’’ centric perspective. Studies remained small in scope, however, and relied more on theory than on empirical data. With this foundation in place, the field of biracialism and ‘‘mixed race’’ theory flourished throughout the 1990s, became increasingly interdisciplinary, and invited more critical approaches. The current ‘‘age of critique’’ is marked by unresolved matters including the development of a comprehensive model for understanding biracial identity in all its forms; reconciliation of personal identity with racial categorization; and the limitations of a ‘‘multi racial movement’’ within the larger struggle for racial justice. Sociological analyses of biracial ism have pushed the field forward with empirical research focusing on the personal and political aspects of multiraciality. Sociologists have contributed by employing symbolic interaction as a theoretical frame work. Rockquemore and Brunsma’s (2002) pioneering study showed that biracial individuals develop their racial identities from a constellation of interacting factors including phenotypic appearance, socialization via family and school, age and life course stage, neighborhood community, social networks, and geographical location. Building on earlier conceptions of biracial identity, their research yielded four typologies to characterize biracialism: border identity (based on neither single race but an integration of the two); singular identity (based exclusively on one race); protean identity (based on situational context); and transcendent identity (based on the absence of race as a factor). Although their national, representative sample was limited to black and white biracial Americans, the results illustrated that there is no single, universal conception of biracial identity – a biracial individual’s racial identity can be dynamic, changing according to time, place, and circumstance. The meaning of race is also fluid, and racial designations are inevitably associated with economic, political, and social struggles. Racial identity is a paramount construction, with racial classification closely linked to government prescribed policies and programs. The politics of biracialism are part of a broader discourse on racial justice. Important issues include the likely consequences of a multiracial designation in racial democracies; conservatives’ cooptation of the ‘‘multiracial movement’’ to advocate for a color blind society (in which racial inequalities are ignored); and how biracial ism is situated in the global society – currently within a white/non white dichotomy and potentially within a black/non black paradigm in the future – and what that means for biracial people and other racial minorities. Conducting research on biracialism merits special attention to methodological challenges. Perhaps the most obvious and shared concern is finding an honest way to write about race without reifying it. Studying biracialism involves an inevitable confrontation with the limitations of word usage and its underlying connotation – that race does have a biological or genetic reality. Identifying and recruiting biracial people can be taxing for a number of reasons: the population is small, complicated to define, and difficult to locate. Self identification remains the most clear cut approach for identifying a particular biracial population, but the presumption of a static identity is limiting. Researchers are still in the midst of determining the best methodological practices for defining a biracial population and ensuring representative sampling. As researchers continue to be more critical in their approach, future directions must incorporate a diasporic approach to theoretical frameworks; just as states and nations have different racial structures, so too do they have different conceptualizations of biracialism and ‘‘mixed race.’’ Scholars must extend their expertise beyond the polarizing black/white paradigm that dominates North American and European literature. Theoretical approaches and empirical studies should be developed to examine the diversity within ‘‘mixed race’’ populations, inclusive of all permutations of ‘‘mixed race’’ – especially those which do not include ‘‘white’’ as part of the equation. The question of how class intersects biracial identity remains largely unanswered, as does the role of gender in the experiences of biracial individuals. The study of biracialism, multiraciality, and ‘‘mixed race’’ theory will be ever evolving so long as ‘‘race’’ continues to be a powerful force in shaping people’s life chances and experiences.
