Identity and Modernity in Latin America
Identity and Modernity in Latin America
ISBN: 978-0-745-66751-5 May 2013 Polity 264 Pages
Download Product Flyer
The book begins with a theoretical discussion of the concepts of modernity and identity. In contrast to theories which present modernity and identity in Latin America as mutually excluding phenomena, the book shows their continuity and interconnection. It also traces historically the respects in which the Latin American trajectory to modernity differs from or converges with other trajectories, using this as a basis to explore specific elements of Latin America's culture and modernity today.
The originality of Larrain's approach lies in the wide coverage and combination of sources drawn from the social sciences, history and literature. The volume relates social commentaries, literary works and media developments to the periods covered, to the changing social end economic structure, and to changes in the prevailing ideologies.
This book will appeal to second and third-year undergraduates and Masters level students doing courses in sociology, cultural studies and Latin American history, politics and literature.
Table of contents
'Despite its historic New-World status, Latin America's claim to modernity has always been tenuous ... Jorge Larrain's history of Latin American modernity traces the evolution of this concept with that of identity, the collective cultural essence of Latin Americanness.' Times Higher Education Supplement

Requirement 1: You are or have been the victim of a severe form of trafficking.
In the above question called Am I eligible for a T-visa?, we list the requirements that you have to meet to be eligible to apply for a T-visa. In this section, we explain the first requirement in detail.
Requirement 1: You are or have been the victim of a severe form of trafficking. What does "a severe form of human trafficking" mean?
Human trafficking has been described by the US Citizen and Immigration Services as a "form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers lure individuals with false promises of employment and a better life."*
According to the law, a "severe form of human trafficking" has to fall into one of the following three categories:
- Sex trafficking - This is when the victim (trafficked person) is forced, tricked, or coerced into selling sex acts for money or anything of value -- in other words, forced or coerced prostitution. (Note: If the victim is under 18 years of age, the law automatically assumes that the victim was forced, tricked, or coerced.)
- Trafficking that leads to debt bondage / peonage – This is when the victim (trafficked person) is forced to work indefinitely (without any reasonable limits on services or time) to pay off the person who smuggled him/her into the United States. Generally, the victim has no way to know when his/her debt is going to be paid off or how much his/her debt has been reduced by the work s/he has already performed.
- Trafficking that leads to involuntary servitude / slavery / forced labor – This is when the trafficker uses threats or physical force to make the victim (trafficked person) work. Traffickers could threaten to physically harm the victim or the victim's family and loved ones, but may also threaten to report the victim to the police (for his/her immigration status, prostitution, etc.) if s/he does not continue to work for the trafficker. The threats to report the victim to the police are known as "abuse of the legal process."**
For more information on how "severe trafficking in persons" is defined by the government, visit the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.

There's a new engine for the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class: a very agile and fuel-efficient four-cylinder petrol unit. The high-tech direct injection engine in the GLK 250 4MATIC delivers 155 kW (211 hp) and torque of 350 newton metres, leading to superior performance and stable drive comfort. In addition, the new model year offers the extra benefit of a new-generation infotainment system with heightened functionality for the GLK-Class, as well as for all of Mercedes-Benz SUV models.
For the first time, a four-cylinder petrol engine will be available for the GLK range. Buyers can order the GLK range with this engine starting in June 2013. The advanced 2.0-litre unit provides an excellent drive comfort that's an expected feature of the brand, making it comparable to what the V6 petrol unit in the GLK 350 4MATIC could offer.
Its performance is outstanding too, enabling the GLK 250 4MATIC to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and to hit a top speed of 215 km/h. As a result, the new model can achieve an NEDC combined fuel consumption of only 7.7 to 7.5 litres of unleaded petrol per 100 kilometres (180-176 g CO2/km).
The new model is very efficient due to a wide-ranging list of measures. It features an exhaust gas turbocharger and direct injection and has a low engine weight of 139 kilograms, low friction losses and the demand-actuated control of the ancillary units.
Numerous injections of fuel are made possible with fast-acting piezo injectors. Meanwhile, the consistent combustion of the air/fuel mixture is guaranteed by demand-actuated multi-spark ignition. Furthermore, variable valve timing on the inlet and exhaust side lessens consumption and improves output. The Mercedes-Benz ECO start/stop function is now offered as standard.
Its fuel consumption becomes even lower due to its seven-speed 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission in the GLK, when in "M" mode. It also comes with a digital gear indicator with gearshift recommendation in the instrument cluster. Order books for the new Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 4MATIC are now open. In Germany, each is priced at 44,149 euros incl. VAT.
The way the exterior of the GLK has been designed gives it that needed poise. The reason is because its body continues to have the typical elements found in an all-terrain vehicle, combined with the current design language of Mercedes-Benz. Thus the GLK has on its body the rigid lines, those expansive surfaces, and the smooth surface of the front and rear region which helps highlight its volume. These complement a number of features from an all-terrain vehicle like the slender roof pillars, tight roof line, steep windscreen, and short overhangs.
However the way the body has been designed is not only for visual purposes as it also takes full advantage of what an ATV can bring to the compact SUV segment. These include not only having the departure and approach angle to allow for off-road adventures any time but to have the ground clearance as well to do it. While the GLK has a cleanly designed body with excellent all-around visibility, it's combined with the seat position. This results in a more relaxed driving and improved daily use. An interesting feature on its side is the newly designed roof rails which fit with the brand's new design language. With the gallery bar being polished and placed on black plastic supports, it gives an elegant line to its profile. The new design also resulted in the rail being lighter compared to the ones in the previous model.
The advantage of this is that it improves driving dynamics as a roof area with a lower weight means higher impact than lower weight on other components like the underbody for instance. Going to the rear, the bumper gives it that athletic and strong quality especially with the delicate taillights and the lines that help highlight its width. Eye-catching features in this area include the underguard which is offered in chrome as an option. A standard feature is the tailpipe trims which have been chrome plated and incorporated to the rear apron.
Meanwhile the taillights were not only redesigned but also had its functions improved. Under the headlamps are the LED daytime driving lights which come with a chrome clasp fitted as standard. This feature will be available for all models. The radiator grille on the front has two slats and a central star, which is in-line with the design of many of the present Mercedes-Benz passenger car models.
The slats are painted in silver as standard but can have chrome inserts as an option. Still on the headlamps, one can easily see it offers a new version of the lamp design the brand is known for. For the basic version that has the reflection-type headlamps, there will be a chrome torch feature that covers two reflectors. For models that come with the Intelligent Light System, it will have the bi-xenon headlamp which will be composed of the torch, reflector, and projection unit. The torch in particular will have the LED fiber-optic cables for its position light. On top of the headlamps will be the turn signal indicators made up of individual LEDs.

Haul & Review: Les Merveilleuses LADURÉE Face Color Rose
Last month, I get my friend Mabel to CP Les Merveilleuses products from Japan for me. I had been lemming for their blushes for the longest period! So many thanks to Mabel who kept complaining about the bulky boxes while carrying them back home. Lolx~
Anyhoo, let's get started!
This bag of Les Merveilleuses (I'll call it LM from now on) is rather huge, check it out here at my Instagram. It consist of 2 pots and 2 Face color rose refills, which one of the sets belongs to me.
Here are the 2 sets of Face color rose, labelled Blush #01 & Blush #02. Mabel who can converse in Japanese told the BA that she's giving these to friends as presents so they were packed super duper nicely and even gave extra boxes and paper bags as well as some samples! ^_^
Brochure was even put into a LM slim plastic bag~ so pretty!~
Les Merveilleuses Face Color Rose LADUREE POT
Ok, don't quite understand why they have to give the pot such a long name. lolx~
Here comes lots of images for the pot! Get ready? ^_^
Such a huge pot!
Face Powder Rose Laduree Pot & Blush in 4 shades. Prices are 12600yen for pot + refills.
Refills are 8820yen/each and single Pot cost 3780yen.
Refills are 8820yen/each and single Pot cost 3780yen.
Les Merveilleuses LADUREE Face Color Rose Laduree Refill #01 & #02
Refills are packed in pretty satin drawstring bags and placed inside the boxes. Kudos to double packing style~
Shade #01 and #02 refill box.
The refills are packed in a round plastic container.
Left #01 and right #02 shade.
#01 is coral and #2 is pinkish red kind of shade.
Even their plastic containers are nicely printed with their logo and pictures of ribbons and laces~ Awww.. *melts my heart*
As the #01 shade is mine so I can only show close-up of this rose petals. I picked the largest and the smallest petal and stacked them together to compare their sizes. The large petals are actually pretty big in compare to my long hands.
After porting the petals to the pot, what's left is a thick sponge inside the plastic container. The container smells of rose! Basically the scent comes from the petals. It is lightly perfumed so whenever we blush on, we smell like rose!
I'd tried to make the petals look like a rose in the pot but kinda fail... hahax.. ^_^"
Apparently after trying to make them appear like a rose in the pot, I realised it's easier to use the petals if they are randomly put into the pot.
Capping it back and you can see a slight pinkish glow from within~
All I can say is that I really really really love the Face Color Rose Laduree that I use it everyday now! Even though the shade is #01 which looks like the lightest among all, but its awesome pigments are easily grabbed by the brush and it stays on my cheeks whole day!
The shade is even visible when I use a iPhone front cam to capture (you know how bad the pic usually turns out when using the front cam of a mobile phone... ^^").
And so is this one even though my face look dark because of the strong light coming from the back, my cheeks look slightly pinker than my face colour~
And well, this is how the actual blush look like (taken with camera). Coral but more towards light warm pink. A shade that I love using because it's very subtle and makes me look like I really blushed.
Btw, sorry I didn't do a hand swatch because its hard to use fingers to press against the petal, I'm afraid it might break into piece. (U_U")
I really hope I can get my hands on all other shades as well as the limited ones too in future! ^_^
A brochure that they gave.
It shows the other products that they carry. (click to enlarge)

The American festival has been going since 2008 and has been a great success every year. it takes place in the last weekend of June when the Norwegian summer is in full swing.
There are concerts with local and international artists, a drive in movie, fairy tale parade, street dancing, American car show, toy market, gospel brunch, fun games for the kids and a food contest.

Vanse's own Elvis impersonator Kjell Elvis performs every year at the festival and there are artists from Norway as well as the USA. Kjell Elvis is a real hit with the locals and tourists that come to this event and his shows are always packed. In 2015, he performed a live show at the nursery home for his older fans.

Oh, I see what you mean about the twitching and the sweating.
YOU are so gay… Sorry it took me so long to think of a swift reply.
It's what boyos say for 'see you later'. You know like on the bus, "slaaaw"… Usually said through the nose.
Good grammar is frowned upon on MySpace.
Have been asked out 16 times this morning by random women (and 3 men) walking past me on the street. Therefore, I conclude, the T-shirt is a success! Thanks!
Damn it, I've enabled comments for just any old fool and now people like you can get their revenge on me by littering my site with irrelevant remarks.
Bullying territory?
I'm responsible for training in the new girl. Imagine teaching quantum physics to a boiled egg. You're feeling a fraction of my pain.
If you are still unemployed when we arrive you could be our private tour guide. We'd pay 1 euro an hour- 2 wearing the dirndl.
Well maybe I'll just try listening next time.

The presidents of youth parliamentary groups in Switzerland have rejected a proposal for a new electoral weighting system allowing a young person's vote to count double.
"This idea is contrary to our democracy," Tamara Funiciello, president of the youth branch of the leftwing Social Democratic Party, told the SonntagsBlick newspaper on Sunday.
She was commenting on an idea put forward by a member of the Zurich cantonal government, Jacqueline Fehr, to reorganise the voting system in Switzerland. Under her plan, the vote of someone aged 18-40 would count double, a voter aged 40-65 would be multiplied by a factor of 1.5 and a ballot cast by anyone over 65 would be equal to a single vote.
She launched the idea on Facebook last week declaring, "basically it's the young people who have to bear the consequences of political decisions." She proposes for young people to mobilise in favour of her idea or to launch an initiative.
"In addition, young people will find themselves increasingly in a minority in the future," Fehr told the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper.
However, her idea has not met with support from other young party leaders.
"Politics needs democratic legitimacy and that is only guaranteed by the principle of one citizen one vote," said the Young Swiss People's Party president Benjamin Fischer, who added that it risked opening Pandora's Box.
The proposal follows close on the heels of the British referendum on June 23, which resulted in the UK voting by 51.9% to 49.1% to withdraw from the European Union.
The vote generated huge debate about voter participation and the generational divide. More than 70% of people aged 18 to 24 voted to remain in the EU, while among those over 60 there was a large majority in favour of leaving.
Meanwhile, the idea of lowering the voting age to 16 to encourage young people to vote continues. The think tank Avenir Suisse recently published a study looking at the effects of an aging society for Swiss democracy.
It wrote: 'With a birth rate of 1.5 children per woman, each upcoming generation that is old enough to vote will be smaller than the preceding generation that is about to retire. Direct democracy has never faced such a test."

10 Best Tactics for Caregivers
25. April 2016 Self Care 0
Caregiving is full of never-ending lists of things to do and tasks to accomplish for yourself, your caree and your family. The stress from caregiving can lead to health issues such as a higher risk for chronic illness, a weakened immune system and depression and anxiety.
What can you do to reduce the stress? I've pulled together a list of my 10 favorite tools for caregivers to either help you lighten your load or relax.
- Develop a System: Organization should be your first step in caregiving. Whether you create a schedule on the wall, use a paper planner or use an electronic calendar or app on your phone, keeping your schedule and contacts organized will be your first step in keeping your caregiving and personal lives together. Be sure to include contact information for doctors and service providers so that you don't have to look them up each time you need to do something. In addition to an organized schedule, you may want to consider creating a medical binder to have your caree's information at your fingertips.
- Use Your Time Wisely: Are there things you can knock off your to do list during spare moments or downtime? Can you work on your grocery list while waiting in line at the bank or make your to do list while waiting in the dentist's office? Can you call your long-distance family with caregiving updates while you're driving home from work (using Bluetooth of course!)? What can you do to make the most of your spare minutes? If you haven't been following my three minute series, I have activities that you can do in three minutes, from cleaning to self-care.
- Never Have Empty Hands: I live in a small home so I don't have to go far to get from the living room to my bedroom. I once read a time management tip that suggested never leaving a room with empty hands. If you're going to the bathroom, can you take fresh towels from the linen closet to refresh the room? If you're walking to the bedroom, take the shoes sitting by the door or the book you want to read later. If you're in your room, take the water glass next to your bed back to the kitchen. Rather than spending hours putting your house back together on a Saturday, move things throughout the day. Your home will feel slightly more organized. Bonus tip – have a drop zone/basket near the door for things that you need for errands such as library books to return, shopping bags or clothes for the dry cleaner. That way you don't need to hunt for them when you are rushing out the door.
- Outsource When You Can: Managing two households is extremely difficult. I can barely keep one house running. If you or your caree has the means, outsourcing some tasks can take things off your plate so that you can spend your time doing the things you prefer to do. Is your parent having a difficult time keeping his/her house clean? Hire a weekly or biweekly cleaning service to do the big jobs. Do you or your parent have a difficult time getting meals on the table? Consider one of the many meal prep services or even schedule take out into your weekly meal rotation. Is there someone who can take your parent to the grocery store or to run errands? Using a service or hiring a driver can reduce the amount of time you are running around. Make a list of the activities you do on a regular basis that are simple to outsource.
- Use Technology: Can you set up online reminders so that your brain doesn't have to do all of the remembering? Can you communicate with doctors or service providers via email or text? Email will allow you to reach out during the off hours when you have downtime.
- Reach Out/Use Your Resources: Don't do it all yourself. You can enlist the help of other families, your community or even local resources like your senior center. Just like it takes a village to raise a family, it takes a village to care for an aging parent.
- Practice Self-Care: If you don't care for yourself, you can't care for others. It's that simple. Whether you have a lot of time or almost no time, you need to take time for yourself so that you don't experience burnout or experience a decline in your health.
- Let Go Of What You Can: As a type A person, I know how difficult this one can be. I want to do everything, perfectly, myself. No one is a superhero. We all need help and not everything can be perfect always. If you are dealing with a particularly busy or stressful time, it's OK to eat more take out or not clean the house as frequently as you'd like. Give yourself permission to let go and just do the best you can do today. On that note, life doesn't have to be all or nothing. If you can't go to the gym, you can still walk around the block.
- Plan Ahead: You can't always plan for a crisis, but whenever possible, having your game plan set up ahead will make a busy time less chaotic. If you don't work on a weekend, take some time to get yourself ready for the week so that on a busy day, you don't have to rush around. Prep a few dinners, plan your wardrobe, put your parent's medication in in pill distributor. Do whatever you can do ahead of time to reduce in-the-moment rushing.
- Stay Positive: Sometimes when we're in the midst of busy-ness and chaos, we can get frustrated. Particularly if we are caring for others and not caring for ourselves. It can be easy to get angry and frustrated with your situation. Acknowledge that you are in a busy stage of life and your current life is stressful and challenging, but remember that this too shall pass. Years from now, you will be happy that you were able to spend so much time with your parent and you will miss the chaos of having children demanding your time. Try to focus on the positive parts of your life when times are tough to make them more bearable. For me, I've been in a multi-month health flare that makes it difficult for me to accomplish everything I'd like to accomplish. For the moment, I'm trying to focus on the fact that I have a lot of love in my life, rather than the fact that my body isn't cooperating with me.
Do you have tactics that help you manage your caregiving role?

yup, it's official. i have no luck with girls.
on the tip of my brain
i have days when i feel like i'm on the edge of the break through. today is one of these days. i feel like there's something on the tip of my brain that my conciousness can't quite reach. i can't think of anything more frustrating and distracting than the feeling that my life is on the verge of something big, only to never get there. and when i say it's difficult to focus on anything and that it's difficult to get anything done, i'm not over stating the issue.
sitting here now, writing these words is even hard because i can't quite describe this feeling. i can't quite get my head around it. it's a persistant feeling i can't quite shake off. during these days, i constantly struggle to find the solution, the thought that continuously escapes me.

3 Reasons to Use Macros for Your Excel Dashboards
Macros are very useful for your Excel dashboards and reports. A macro is essentially a set of instructions or code that you create to tell Excel to execute any number of actions. In Excel, macros can be written or recorded. The key word here is recorded.
The first step in using macros is admitting you have a problem. Actually, you may have several problems:
Problem 1: Repetitive tasks. As each new month rolls around, you have to make the donuts — that is, crank out those reports. You have to import that data. You have to update those pivot tables. You have to delete those columns, and so on. Wouldn't it be nice if you could fire up a macro and have those more redundant parts of your dashboard processes done automatically?
Problem 2: You're making mistakes. When you go hand-to-hand combat with Excel, you're bound to make mistakes. When you're repeatedly applying formulas, sorting, and moving things around manually, there's always that risk of catastrophe. Add to that the looming deadlines and constant change requests, and your error rate goes up.
Why not calmly record a macro, ensure that everything is running correctly, and then forget it? The macro is sure to perform every action the same way every time you run it, reducing the chance of errors.
Problem 3: Awkward navigation. Remember that you're creating these dashboards and reports for an audience that probably has a limited knowledge of Excel. If your reports are a bit too difficult to use and navigate, you'll find that you'll slowly lose support for your cause. It's always helpful to make your dashboard more user-friendly.
Here are some ideas for macros that make things easier for everyone:
A macro that formats and prints a worksheet or range of worksheets at the touch of a button
Macros that navigate a multisheet worksheet with a navigation page or with a go-to button for each sheet in your workbook
A macro that saves the open document in a specified location and then closes the application at the touch of a button
Obviously, you can perform each of these examples in Excel without the aid of a macro. However, your audience will appreciate these little touches that help make perusal of your dashboard a bit more pleasant.

It's a Date!
Grand Re-opening: Wednesday September 23, 2015
5:00pm to 10:00pm
Reservations very much appreciated and recommended
Our GoFundMe fundraiser is still active. Please consider contributing; everything helps.
After over three months of waiting and wondering, we are thrilled to finally announce the date of our grand reopening. We still have a great deal to accomplish in these coming days (including finishing the floors and painting the entire house!), but we are now confident that our timeline is realistic enough to release to the public. We hope that you will join us to celebrate, and to see all of the beautiful changes. They have proved to be the silver linings of this otherwise stressful and frustrating bump in the road.
We will open as a dinner restaurant only, with the possibility of more in the future. For now,
our new hours will be WEDNESDAY thru SUNDAY, 5:00 to 10:00.
For those who are not aware of what happened, or for those who are still a little unclear about what exactly did happen, here is a little recap:
In late May, we announced that we would close on the first Sunday in June to get a three-day stretch of house renovations. We took up our old carpet, sanded the original hard wood floors, polished them with linseed oil, painted the walls and floors in the downstairs area by the restrooms, and cleaned the entire house from top to bottom……..all in temperatures ranging from 90 to 98 degrees throughout the days.
Updated since the launch of Windows 10, the Microsoft Answer Desk page … all of the support options available to you as a Microsoft customer. Microsoft Windows 10 Tech Support. Get Certified Technician for Windows 10 Update Failed, Windows 10 Activation Error.
We finished on Tuesday evening around 5:00. As we were locking up, we left a plastic bucket on our front porch that was about a quarter-full of linseed oil with a lid set loosely on top. We left it there so it wouldn't leave a ring mark on our newly polished floors. The bucket was in the shade, but the heat was too much and the liquid was too low in the bucket, allowing dangerous gases to build up. That gas spontaneously combusted into flames. The flames melted the side of the bucket, hopped over to a number of flammable items within reach (including the carpet), climbed up the side of our front porch and licked the tip of our roof around the rain gutters.
BBM is the one of the best messaging application for the computer. Download BBM for PC is becoming a competition for the Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Wechat and Hike application.
The folks who own Southeast Grind ran to the rescue with a fire extinguisher and put out the fire while customers at Bushwhacker Cider called the fire department. By the time firefighters arrived, the fire was just a smoldering mess to manage rather than a full-scale house fire that could have put us out of business. Ultimately, we owe the continuation of our business to these brave, loving people.
Immediately upon arrival, the fire inspector approached my vehicle to assure me that he knew exactly what had caused the fire and that he was positive it was an accident. He said that it was the second time that week and it was only Tuesday!
So this is the point where I will add a clear public service announcement…
The next day we gathered to access the damage and decide what to do. We discussed closing the restaurant and cutting our losses, but we fought through the feelings of defeat and reached out to our biggest fans. Within a few days, we had raised over $5,000. That completely carried us until we started to see financial help from our insurance company and gave us a sincere belief that this restaurant is worth fighting for. And now that the construction is all coming together, it's starting to LOOK like a restaurant worth fighting for.
Now we are over three months down the road and we have almost missed the entire summer bounty. Because the insurance money comes in tiny spits and spurts, we were not able to stock up on fruits and veggies to preserve for winter. Now that we are getting close to reopening, we have asked our glorious farmers to extend some short-term credit so we can take advantage of September's harvest. Again we are reminded of why we love them all so much.
So while Kennedy Reconstruction finishes their beautiful work on our beloved house, we are getting our creative juices flowing and getting our hands dirty. Tomorrow we will be gone pickin' at Sauvie Island Farms to collect a variety of corns, peppers and tomatoes to fire roast then vacuum seal for winter. We also hear there are a few golden raspberries that we will vacuum seal as well. On Saturday we will go to the PSU Farmer's Market to get a big load of essentially every pepper under the hot hot sun, a variety of onions and tomatoes, peaches and berries. As we play and process, we will use the inspiration of beautiful produce to create our newest menu.
Worry not, because the most treasured items will remain. Goulash, Alfredo, Crispy Kale and Grilled Sweet Potatoes are safe. But the last menu was written in early spring, so anyone who knows us knows that we couldn't possibly reopen with that menu in early fall….
We would like to thank everyone for being so patient and supportive, and for taking the time to reach out during the closure. It has been so reassuring to know that people are waiting in the wings to devour our food. We will post the new menu as soon as it is ready, and we will look forward to your taking your reservations soon.

Moby Dick's high THC content makes it one of the strongest sativa. THC levels are high, topping 21% in some tests. CBD values are very low, less than 1%, making this a poor choice for patients who suffer from epilepsy or other conditions that respond to this cannabinoid. The heavy sativa genes create a strongly euphoric, creative high with an upbeat mood. The effects are great for treating depression, anxiety, pain, and muscle spasms. Moby Dick can also alleviate lack of appetite. The overall effect is clear-headed but relaxing. The dominant smell and flavor when smoking Moby Dick are citrusy. This strain also has an earthy lemon taste and a sweet floral aroma. Dry mouth is the most common side effect, along with bloodshot eyes. Paranoia is also possible. Moby Dick is a relatively popular strain, available on several legal medical marijuana markets. It's probably easiest to find in Arizona, Colorado, and parts of Europe. This strain gets its name from its massive yields when harvested, as much as 1,500 grams per square meter.

Robot Wars Discussion
Why...because your friends Dad is an MS employee?
But even so...I thought Alpha was only for MS employees themselves...not friends and family of the employees.
I heard that "pimps at sea" was the alpha. I messaged my friend david on myspace and he told me he was in it but can't talk about it. Shortly after starting homescooling I went over to his house and took turns playing it with him and his dad for like 15 minutes. And he is not just a MS employee, i'm not sure what exactly his job is but I believe he's on the Xbox Live launch team.
Neither me or my friend are allowed to say a word about the alpha to anyone. Back then we werent at least...now that the betas like 5 days away i'm sure I can but still not 100% sure. I can say though the graphics from the alpha were a bit worse than the beta.
i've also noticed that you get a star every 2000 posts...until your 4th star..then you need 10000 posts.
And you will probably be the first to 10000 posts.
i realized a long time ago that if you don't pay attention to your post count, it will go up suprisingly fast
its like i woke up one day and i had 7000...lol

3 Useful Resources for Tech & Digital Media News
Today, keeping up with the rapid and constantly evolving technology around us can be so challenging that even the savviest of tech users often find themselves saying 'Whoa! When did that happen?'
While it's difficult for anyone to stay completely up-to-date on all the changes continually, here are three great resources for tuning into of the latest news and developments in the world of technology, social media and consumer electronics.
Mashable is my favorite website for reading informed opinions from industry experts on the breaking news in the social media technology sphere. This site also provides in-depth reports on the latest web and mobile development. With 20 million monthly unique visitors, Mashable is one of the world's leading online tech news communities.
TechCrunch is excellent for learning about promising startups, new Internet products, and breaking tech news. Popular channels on the site include gadgets, gaming and gadgets. TechCrunch and its network of websites reach over 12 million unique visitors and draw more than 37 million page views per month.
Cnet is a popular resource where tech geeks converge to share and try out new apps and games. I find this site most useful for reading reviews of new software that one can download and try out as well as for learning about emerging technologies. Cnet is definitely worth checking out and revisiting on a periodic basis if you enjoy testing out new apps and devices.
I hope you will also find these resources useful for making sense of the confusing array of technology all around us.

Most fertility specialists and family planning agencies encourage men to consider vasectomies a permanent contraceptive procedure. The orignal vasectomy procedure is relatively straightforward and minimally invasive. A doctor may use a local anesthetic to desensitize the scrotum, then make two small incisions to reach the vas deferens - the tube which tranmits sperm from the testicles. The two vas deferens are pulled through these incisions and a surgical slice is made. The ends of the tubes may be cauterized with heat, tied off with sutures or held shut with tiny surgical clamps. The result is sterility, since sperm cells from the testes can no longer enter the reproductive process.
Reversing this relatively straightforward procedure, however, is not so simple. Surgeons who perform vasectomy reversals receive special training in the process and are in great demand. Scheduling an appointment with a vasectomy reversal specialist may not be easy, and the cost of the surgery itself can run from 3,000 to nearly 18,000 US dollars. Those seeking such an expensive operation should first consult with their medical insurance company to determine if the procedure is covered. Some insurers encourage contraceptive surgeries but are reluctant to pay for their reversals unless proven medically necessary.
The vasectomy reversal surgery itself requires a general anesthesia and can take at least an hour and and a half to perform. Surgeons often work with microscopes to see the tiny vessels which need to be reattached. In some instances, the original vasectomy cannot be successfully reversed because of the procedure used or the amount of time that has elapsed. Some men develop antibodies which attack sperm cells, which means the number of usable sperm may still be too low for fertilization after the reversal. Vasectomy reversals do have a significant failure rate, so patients need to be prepared for any outcome.
Some men who choose vasectomies will have some of their sperm cryogenically frozen before the operation, in case they change their minds about fatherhood in the future. This process has indeed made vasectomies a more appealing contraceptive option, but a percentage of the donated sperm cells do not survive the ordeal of freezing. Vasectomies are cheaper and less difficult than female tubal ligations, but can be just as problematic to reverse. For this reason, vasectomies should generally be considered permanent and irreversible unless other life circumstances make fatherhood a viable option again.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Band BIO:
Daemonos was founded in the south of The Netherlands during the rainy autumn of 2013. While blending the pure brutality of Death Metal with the cold atmosphere of Black Metal, unique songs take shape. Powerful screeching guitars, earth-trembling bass, demonically fast war drums and inhuman vocals are the key elements that create the identity of the band.
The band played various shows including the opening spot for the Greek band Rotting Christ in December 2014 and for the Italian band Sawthis in March 2015.
In September 2015 the band released their first DEMO/EP entitled Primogenitus Daemonium pt. 1 "Infernum In Terra". This release contains 5 songs, which give a good impression of the variety the band offers.

Pro Wrestler Comes Out as Bi After Posting Video with His Adorable Boyfriend
Professional wrestler Anthony Bowens wasn't expecting to come out as bisexual. He then found himself on camera filming a silly video when his boyfriend accidentally outed him. Instead of deleting, they decided to post, beginning his journey of coming out as a bisexual man in professional wrestling.
In a new op-ed for Outsports, the 26-year-old opens up about his struggle with coming out; "Ever since high school I knew that was something different about me. I started to notice that I'd see a couple walk down the street and think how attractive both the guy and the girl were. It would become more prevalent as college rolled around and I found myself with a crappy love life."
"Understandably, being openly bisexual [in wrestling] could be perceived as a problem," Bowens admits. "It's what kept me closeted to all but a few from the time I started wrestling as a pro five years ago. It took a Youtube video to make me see that coming out was not going to be the problem I thought it would be."
Three months into his relationship with boyfriend Pavano, the pair uploaded a video to YouTube on Pavano's channel called "The Laughing Challenge," where Pavano described Bowens as his boyfriend.
"The video was a blast to do, but I worried that someone from the wrestling world would stumble across it and learn my secret. I decided to let it be posted anyway."
Slowly, friends and teammates began coming out of the woodwork in the ensuing weeks telling Bowens they had seen the video and it was OK that he was bi. This inspired Bowen to officially come out in January to everyone.
On Facebook, Anthony Bowens posted:
I'm not going to make this a long winded post but I think it's time. Just wanted to let everyone know im Bisexual. I…
Posted by Anthony Bowens on Sunday, January 8, 2017
"The response was overwhelming positive — 986 likes and more than 200 comments, all positive; only a very few people unfriended me," Bowens remembers. "I couldn't help but cry as I let loose all of the years of stress, anxiety and fear of judgment. It was the best decision I had ever made."
"I can't even begin to tell you how many people I've spoken to over the years who are hiding and suppressing themselves out of fear of being judged. If I can help inspire at least one person to fight past their struggles through my journey or inspire at least one person to live their dreams, it's all worth it for me. The journey and the fight is just beginning!"

DECEMBER 17, IQIO. THE. [/jJGHT] " MAYFLY '-THE FIRST IRISH BIPLANE. AND HOW SHE WAS BUILT. By LILIAN E. BLAND. IN view of the considerable interest which has been taken in my biplane, which has gradually been evolved from a glider, I have at the request of the Editor, written the following description of it :'— As the principal dimensions of the machine are given in the scale drawings, it will be unnecessary to repeat them here. The wood used for the main spars is ash, the curve of the wing tips being steam removed in one piece either with or without the engine, which is held in place by four bolts. The controls consist of a bicycle handle bar which rocks and turns. Turning the handle to the right raises the right hand elevator and depresses the left, the connecting wires being crossed. I he elevators are connected to the horizontal tail planes, which THE " MAYFLY."—-This side view shows the machine as she now is, but in the new tail Miss Bland contemplates fitting, the fin in front of the rudder will not be used. bent. The ribs and stanchions are of spruce, the outriggers of bamboo, the skids of ash, and the engine bed of American elm. This engine bed is really a separate chassis set across the main spars to which it is clipped ; stays run from the rear spar to the chassis, which is also wired out to the upper and lower spars, so that it would be impossible for the engine to shift unless the whole work in the opposite direction to the elevators ; all controls are double, wire and strong waterproofed whipcord. The balancing planes, which are hinged to the rear stanchions, are controlled by the back of the seat, leaning to the right pulls down the right hand balancer and vice versd. The vertical rudder is worked by pedals. The engine controls consist of a butterfly valve which regulates the THE "MAYFLY "-View of the front of the biplane, showing how one elevator rises and the other lowers..In this photograph alYo the wT,lng of the wings to the skids is noticeable. The angle of the machine on the skids is r ° 0 degrees. machine were wrecked. Additional strength is also given to the wings by the wiring. The chassis carries the tank and the pilot s seat, the latter being slung by four straps. In front of the seat, which is enclosed on all sides so, that it is impossible to fall out crt it, is the bar for the elevator control. The whole chassis can be petrol supply, an air throttle, and a lever to the magneto, while when starting one cylinder is cut out. All these controls may sound compli cated, but in practice they are quite simple to work, and I think it is a great advantage to have the engine and aeroplane under complete control, as it is not always necessary to run the engine all out.

Section Head of the Fashion Section
A young artist painting the world in the form of writing, Kelsey has always considered writing to be a passion. With a strong interest in fashion too, she loves to combine the two, informing the world about all that there is to know in the fashion world. She believes that fashion is a form of art that is greatly overlooked, and her goal is to open the world's eyes to its subtle nuances. Kelsey considers fashion to be a way to customize one's self, and there are endless ways to do it. Along with writing, Kelsey enjoys theater, participating in as many productions as she can. She hopes to take her passion for writing further and pursue it throughout her education.

Coolpad is one of the most popular smartphone manufacturers in China. This company has been around for a long time now, and they're pushing their products towards India more often now in order to expand their market. Coolpad had introduced the Coolpad Note 3 back in October last year (came to India in May 2016), and that handset was followed by the Note 3 Lite and Note 3 Plus smartphones. That being said, all of these devices were mid-range offerings by the company, and Coolpad has just introduced a successor to the Coolpad Note 3, the Coolpad Note 4.
The Coolpad Note 4 is, much like its predecessor, a metal-clad mid-range smartphone, though this handset belongs in the upper-mid-range category due to its build and specs. The Coolpad Note 4 features a 5.5-inch fullHD fully laminated display, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable internal storage. The device is fueled by the Snapdragon 617 64-bit octa-core SoC running at 1.5GHz, and the Adreno 405 GPU is included here for graphics rendering. The 13-megapixel camera (5P lens, f/2.2 aperture) can be found on the back of this smartphone, and an 8-megapixel snapper (f/2.2 aperture, 80.1-degree wide-angle lens) is placed on its front side. The 4,010mAh battery is also included here, and it is not removable, while this phone also comes with two SIM card slots. The Coolpad Note 4 measures 152 x 75.7 x 8.85mm, while it weighs 173.4 grams, which doesn't exactly make it the lightest phone around. Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow comes pre-installed on this smartphone, and on top of it, you'll find the company's Cool UI 8.0.
This is a metal unibody smartphone, and it sports a fingerprint scanner on its back. There are three capacitive buttons placed below its display, overview, home and back, respectively. The phone comes in Noble Black and Champagne Gold color variants, while it is priced at Rs. 10,999 ($165) in India, and it will be available exclusively through Amazon India soon. If you'd like to stay in the loop as to when this smartphone will become available, follow the source link down below and subscribe to Amazon India's mailing list so that you get an e-mail once the phone gets released.

Last week took place in the Hub Barcelona the 17th edition of OFFF Festival. During the 6,7 and 8 of April, numerous innovative and international artists and designers gathered to offer a three-day journey of conference, workshops, activities and performance aimed to curious and eager people.
OFFF Festival has become the main festival of Culture, Art and Digital Design in a national context and year after year has consolidated a place on an international scale due to OFFF on Tour, the festival that tours the world.
For the past edition, the amazing opening title credits were made by Vallée Duhamel, a Montreal-based studio. Julien Vallée and Eve Duhamel are founders, designers and art directors of the studio. They generate complex narrative through lo-fi, hand-rigged object and high-end productions techniques in all their works that astonish clients and clients' customers.
Complex narratives, meticulously art-directed projects and some room for "happy accidents" are the keys of this successful studio
Inspired by Zbigniew Rybszynski film Tango, released on 1981 and awarded with an Oscar for the Best animation short in 1981. Vallée Duhamel has reinterpreted the film adding a contemporary look and a personal environment to the set, in other to create the credits of all the speakers' names of this year's edition.
The short tells stories of characters moving around in the same scenario their paths are interlaced and each of them follows a complex and specific choreography in the space. Although their apparent proximity of gestures from one character to the other, they remain invisible to one another even being part of the same world. Could this short be reflecting a close similarity to our daily life paths?
The 17th edition OFFF Festival has had an excellent and distinct short film. The surrealistic, dream-like and exciting world created by Vallée Duhamel studio brings us to some of the magical Dalí paintings or the playful and conceptual artworks of René Magritte but in a XXI century context.

|I have an issue with downloading pictures in some projects I have.
Generally the project seems to download images without problem, but some of the images get the 'Aborted. images are disabled' message.
All the image directories and file names are similar and allowed for under the project properties - images load using url filter settings. No file size or image dimesion criteria.
I run a number of moderate size projects in a sequence and it seems the problem happens more toward the end.
eg, this gets the error message:
this downloads:
No exlcuded directories. Included directory /X/
Excluded filename *3.jpg, *4.jpg (on upwards to 19)
Included filename *0.jpg, *1.jpg, *2.jpg
What could the issue be?
Thank you.

We all often ride this wave of self-doubt. We start off at any job bursting with confidence, raring to go and take flight with all our ideas. But somewhere we become spectators to ourselves. We look at ourselves with our own critical eyes and believe that is how others possibly perceive us. And there starts our self-doubt journey! Are we good? Are we effective? Are we adding value? Are we making a difference? Are we being liked or appreciated? We don't realise it but these doubts have a way of forming a smokescreen between us and our goals and dreams. We stop in our tracks believing this is the end!
I shared this question with my friend – 'I am not sure I am good anymore! I have loads of work to do!' I lamented. He was surprised, but chose to say – 'You ARE good!'
I persisted – 'How would you know? It's what I feel!'
Smilingly he said – 'It is what you choose to feel! When you have lots to do, you gotta be good!'
And that was the truth! Simple yet powerful enough to defog my mind instantly! With that my smoky doubts disappeared. How profoundly true!
As long as we are wanted somewhere to do some work, to add value, we are making a difference and we are indeed good! And that is work in progress!

The new D03CJ (pictured), D04CJ and D04EG small diesel engines from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries provide Tier 4 regulation-compliant solutions in the 25- to 99-hp output range and will begin production in 2013.
Featuring a three-cylinder design, the D03CJ produces a maximum output of 55 hp and a maximum torque of 165 Newton meters at 1,800 rpm. The four-cylinder equivalent, the D04CJ, produces a maximum output of 74 hp and a maximum torque of 230 Newton meters at 1,800 rpm.
Both engines feature an optimized common rail system with a diesel particulate filter and diesel oxidation catalyst for Tier 4 compliance. Common MHI goals when developing new engines are to achieve a more compact design without sacrificing power, while also lowering fuel consumption. Compared to the previous Tier 3 compliant models being replaced, the D03CJ and D04CJ offer a smaller displacement, while output has been increased. Fuel efficiency is also 16-percent better than previous engines.
"Mitsubishi has developed its Tier 4 engines off of the same Tier 3 engine footprint to save equipment manufacturing time and resources," says Harold Kabel, small engine sales manager, Mitsubishi Engine North America. "Therefore, there is no re-engineering time or costs to the equipment manufacturer to implement the new Tier 4 engines."
The new Tier 4 interim, four-cylinder D04EG delivers a maximum output of 99 hp and a maximum torque of 375 Newton meters at 1,600 rpm, with a power density of 0.22 kW/L. The engine utilizes a common rail system including an exhaust gas recirculation system and a DPF and DOC for Tier 4 interim compliance. Compared with the Tier 3 engine it replaces, the D04EG offers 12-percent improved fuel economy. www.mitsubishi-engine.com/

Lastly, they examine the age of rocks, trying to piece collectively a chronology of events for the formation of our land lots and modifications over time. Superior degrees will usually qualify the geologist for supervisory positions, research assignments, or teaching positions on the university level.

It was purely coincidental that moviestar handsome Yasir and his dashing husband-to-be Andrew decided to hold their wedding at the end of January this year. While millions of people around the globe protested against President Trump's inauguration, on that same day a group of 100 people witnessed a much smaller political statement.
This testament to gay love was held on Koh Mook, a predominantly Muslim island on the southern peninsula of Thailand, close to the Malaysian border. Planning for this affirmative action started some 18 months prior, long before Donald Trump announced his, sadly successful, bid for the US presidency.
A couple for over three years, Andrew and Yasir discovered each other on a gay dating app. Andrew, a health specialist who has saved countless lives in Africa, was based in the US, while Yasir, an IT specialist who speaks seven languages, was living in Sydney. After a year of chatting they decided to take the plunge and meet. What ensued was a whirlwind romance, not to mention a somewhat rare, openly gay relationship between a tall, chiseled American and a swarthy, beefy Iraqi.

O Great God
A month or two ago we say the song "O Great God" at church. I did a little googling and found the music was written by Bob Kauflin of Sovereign Grace Music, with words coming from the "Valley of Vision" puritan prayers volume. I didn't particularly like the Sovereign Grace recorded version, so I did a bit more googling and found this amazing version arranged by Dan Forrest.
I also found out that Dan Forrest is giving a free (I think) concert at Masters College this Friday

The two kingdoms doctrine: what's all the fuss?
A good, irenic post at Ref21:
One of the ways in which modern advocates could strengthen the two kingdoms doctrine is by further emphasizing and clarifying its fundamentally eschatological character, particularly in light of the fact that the two kingdoms are often confused with two spheres into which life is to be divided. It may be that part of the problem is a conflation of the two kingdoms doctrine with Abraham Kuyper's concept of sphere sovereignty. But Kuyper's spheres denote different areas into which human life under Christ's lordship are to be divided; they do not designate the eschatological distinction between this age and the age to come. As such, the concept of sphere sovereignty is a sociological concept that is consistent with but different from the two kingdoms doctrine. We confuse the two when we think of the two kingdoms as two spheres (because they denote two governments) but forget that they also denote two overlapping ages. As 1 Corinthians 7 and Ephesians 5-6 make clear, because Christians live between two ages, they cannot turn everything they do into the kingdom of God, but they are to do everything that they do in obedience to Christ's lordship.

Charybdis was an evil spirit of the seas and the daughter of Poseidon, the major Greek god of the Seas and Gaea, the goddess of the Earth.
Charybdis and Scylla were living together on either sides of the island of Sicily in Italy, spreading fear among the sailors crossing the island. Charybdis' particular task was to swallow water three times a day and then throw up, creating this way whirlpools in order to drown vessels that passed by.
Scylla and Charybdis are mostly mentioned in Homer's famous Epos, the "Odyssey".

Hindu Wedding
Bright colours, ancient rituals and traditions are what characterize a Hindu Wedding, which is considered the most important ceremony in India. The wedding itself can differ according to the customs of the particular area in India, but the common theme is always the traditional bridal sari and the unique necklaces of coloured flowers, which are made for the bride and groom during their Barat and Kanya Agaman grand entrances.
One of the most beautiful closing rituals in the Hindu ceremony is that of the Saptapadi or "Seven Steps" during which the newlyweds walk seven steps around the fire, symbolizing the 7 elements of respect, love, honesty, mutual support, health, fertility and an everlasting relationship.
With its beautiful outdoor spaces and Mediterranean gardens, Italy is the ideal place for your Hindu wedding. Our experienced staff is completely at your disposal to lend a hand at any stage of the pre-wedding plans.

"With a hand-picked panel of expert judges and tech-savvy readers deciding the finalists, the T3 Awards truly recognise the greats in the technology world. It's a fantastically varied shortlist with wearables being a real stand-out trend. The voting process always brings up some great debate amongst the judges, and the votes historically throw many a curve ball! It's going to be an interesting year."

There may be two scholarships awarded in the amount of $2,000; two in the amount of $3,000; and one in the amount of $5,000. The Len Hannon Scholarship, (named for a former leader in the Oregon State Legislature and friend of the National Federation of the Blind of Oregon) may be awarded to an individual who has been a winner in the past and continues to make a difference in the lives of blind people. The Len Hannon Scholarship, if awarded, may be for any of the monetary denominations deemed appropriate by the Scholarship Committee.
