Radiation Crimes of Eternity

If I could pray for something it would be to pray that I am wrong about the conclusions in this essay. That Fukushima never happened; that the recent EPA data from their Beta radiation detection stations is wrong, or radiation is not bad for our health and will not kill or hurt anyone, as many seem to believe. After all the nuclear industry is safe even though accidents do happen regularly.
All the nuclear waste that is piling up at every nuclear reactor that they never discovered what to do with is going to eventually kill off most of life on our planet but who cares since we have managed a faster way (Fukushima) to do ourselves in. Many believe that low levels of radiation are actually good for your health and they use that belief to lighten the load of the nuclear industry, which is proving to be a formidable death machine.
The conclusions in this essay are devastating to our sense of humanity. Yesterday's article told us to expect a whole range of radiation illnesses from the increasing radiation levels in North America. It exposed a great cruelty perpetuated on at least 300 million people. Seventy years ago the Nazis lined men, women and children up and herded them into gas chambers to expose them to poisonous gas to kill them en mass.
These past months the American government purposely let their citizens be exposed to levels of radiation which promises slow poisoning. Though there was no way to make the radiation disappear precautions and warnings could have been given. Someone made a decision to keep the public in the dark so parents could not keep their kids indoors and take other precautions to minimize exposure.
It is shattering to meditate on what is happening. Without shame or fear of reprisal, the government and media have ganged up on the public to deceive them and forced them to expose their children to imminent danger that could, in part, have been avoided. They were scaring the wits out of everyone with Ebola when radiation was the real threat.
They have been scaring the public with global warming (United Nations now says never existed) when severe cold and extended winter is here with us instead. It is not warming nor Ebola that is threatening the world but cold and massive amounts of radiation that is striking hard at the young and old and everyone in between.
Killing the Children in Japan
Katsutaka Idogawa, former mayor of a town near the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant, told RT News that in his country radiation contamination is affecting Japan's greatest treasure – its children. Compared with Chernobyl, radiation levels around Fukushima "are four times higher."
According to Idogawa, there are about two million people residing in the prefecture who are reporting "all sorts of medical issues," but the government insists these conditions are unrelated to the Fukushima accident. Idogawa wants their denial in writing.
"They believe what the government says, while in reality radiation is still there. This is killing children. They die of heart conditions, asthma, leukemia, thyroiditis… Lots of kids are extremely exhausted after school; others are simply unable to attend PE classes. But the authorities still hide the truth from us, and I don't know why. Don't they have children of their own? It hurts so much to know they can't protect our children."
"They say Fukushima Prefecture is safe, and that's why nobody's working to evacuate children, move them elsewhere. We're not even allowed to discuss this." It is the same everywhere from the official medical world. Radiation travels quickly and easily in the winds and comes down on the rains. The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) clearly are not buying the optimistic assurances of the United Nations that there is nothing to worry about with nuclear radiation and exposure to it.
How to completely protect yourself from increasing Fukushima radiation dangers

[NaturalNews] Experts predict the worst radiation is coming to the American West Coast, and it's potentially worse than Japan's radiation levels. Many radiation protective supplements have been proposed, from iodine to various herbs.
Yet there is one that is overlooked even though it was used successfully in the hottest spots of ground zero in Fukushima.
Mega-dose vitamin C was used for workers who had to go into the reactors' plant site and clean up or repair the damage. The drawback is mega-dose vitamin C is usually administered by IV drip. Thanks to the Medical Mafia, it's hard to get in the USA.
This link may help: http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v06n09.shtml
You can equal the vitamin C dosage used in Fukushima without IV application
Dr. Atsuo Yanagisawa, M.D., Ph.D., from the Japanese College of Intravenous Therapy, took a group of men working on the Fukushima site and administered 25,000 mg (milligrams) or 25 grams of vitamin C as a pretreatment prior to entering the area.
After their work, they were clear of DNA damage and precancerous indicators upon thorough medical evaluations. The untreated workers showed DNA damage and precancerous indicators.
But they received a similar post treatment protocol for a couple of months and recovered completely. Great news, since we can't all prepare in advance. (http://www.naturalnews.com)
The Japanese college's work and findings were withheld because TEPCO, the firm that owns the Fukushima plant, the Japanese government, and Japanese media has ignored them and their science based advice. (Doctor Yourself pdf, source below)
If you do check out the Doctor Yourself pdf, you'll find one item used orally on a daily basis, liposomal vitamin C. Liposomal vitamin C can be taken orally with lower dosage to equal those 25K IV C therapies.
That's because liposomal encapsulated C exceeds even IV C's ability to penetrate your cells, where it is ultimately needed.
After serious illness that caused Alan Smith to be in a coma and on life support, his family got Alan packets of a liposomal encapsulated C product called Lypo-Spheric to circumvent the hospital's resistance to administering 50 grams pf mega-dose IV C daily.
He took three packets or six grams daily for six days, and walked out of the hospital after his extreme double pneumonia with leukemia complications coma. There was no trace of leukemia a year later either.
His dramatic hospital episode was presented accurately and well by New Zealand's version of 60 Minutes. (http://www.3news.co.nz)
As truth about Fukushima radiation emerges, Japanese authorities struggle to maintain cover-up

By: Jonathan Benson
[NaturalNews] The cat is out of the bag, as more evidence continues to emerge proving that clean-up workers at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility in Japan deliberately covered up high radiation readings at the order of their superiors. And as more people become aware of this disturbing fact, Japanese authorities are trying to maintain the facade that the cover-up was an isolated incident, and that there was not a larger conspiracy to hide legitimate radiation readings from the public.
The Japanese news source Asahi Shimbun (AS) reports that a senior official working for Build-Up, a subcontractor hired during the Fukushima clean-up efforts, has admitted to instructing his workers to wear lead coverings over their dosimeters in order to shield accurate radiation readings. Dosimeters measure an individual's exposure to radiation, and indicate when it is no longer safe to be in the presence of a radiation source.
Recordings uncovered from a December 2 conversation between the official and his employees reveals that he coaxed them to use the lead coverings by claiming that he had used them many times before without issue. He also apparently told them that they would have to use them in future clean-up efforts as well, and implied that they should get used to using them now.
According to AS, the senior official also came up with an alibi that the workers could use to explain the coverings, should anyone inquire about the unusual presence of tape on their torn radiation protection suits. All the bases were covered, in other words, which was enough to convince four of the workers to go along with the plan.
Senior official's confession makes no sense, appears to be even more cover-up
But now that the media has blown the lid off the story, the senior official in question is now claiming that the incident was isolated, and that he came up with it himself on the fly in order to protect him and his team from radiation. What? Even though this explanation makes absolutely no sense, as dosimeters cover up radiation readings, not the radiation itself, this is the story he is now telling, and the mainstream media appears to be buying it.
When asked about this obviously contradictory statement, the senior official followed up his answer with another nonsensical one about how his workers were new at the job, and how he thought that telling them to wear lead coverings over the only thing that would have alerted them to dangerous levels of radiation would somehow quell their fears. Again, this explanation makes no sense, and appears to point to a cover-up as to who really instructed him and his team to wear the lead coverings.
So a senior official takes the hit for a cover-up intended to deceive the public into thinking that radiation levels were lower than they really were at the Fukushima plant. When asked to explain what he was thinking when he made this decision, he offers up senseless explanations that make no sense, and insists that he was the only one involved, for some unknown reason. Suspicious? You be the judge.

Amid plagues of radioactivity, here are six simple ways to choose life

[NaturalNews] Radioactive waters from the Fukushima disaster now buffet the coasts of North America. We have known since 1987 – when in the 8 months following Chernobyl, a 245% to 900% increase in infant mortality was observed in the northern coastal areas of the US – that out-of-control radiation leaks are a proven worldwide problem.
What we also know is immediate crises, such as the radioactivity from Fukushima, only add to the literal sea of continual radiation exposure.
We are exposed to "routine" nuclear medical equipment leaks, checkpoints with full-body scans, nuclear submarine crashes, depleted uranium ammunition fallout, mammograms, CT scans, x-rays, radioactive-contaminated tobacco smoke, microwave ovens, food irradiation accidents, and more.
To share a few examples:
- Nuclear mishaps and accidents – Over a 15-year study, ending in 1985, there were 151 significant nuclear accidents in 14 western countries with a total of over 2,7000 mishaps at nuclear plants.
- X-rays – Dr. Alice Stewart, a recognized world authority on nuclear epidemiology, discovered that women exposed to diagnostic X-rays during pregnancy had offspring with two times the likelihood of developing leukemia as did children who had not been exposed in utero.
- Cigarette smoke – Cigarette smoke contains and gives off the radioactive particles radium 226, which is found in phosphate fertilizers used in commercial tobacco farming; polonium 210, lead 210, which are breakdown products from radium 226; and potassium 40.
Our big picture is not just surviving the immediate Fukushima crisis, but protecting ourselves and our families from the cumulative daily radiation dangers that build up over a long period of time.
My radiation protection approach is built on six principles:
I. Selective uptake
If one has enough minerals in the system, the cells become saturated with healthy minerals. Once cellular mineral saturation occurs, there is less opportunity for radioactive minerals to be absorbed into the system.
II. Chelate
Certain foods actively draw the radioactive materials to them and pull them out of the body via the bowel and kidney excretion process. The kelp family of sea vegetables are highest in the natural chelator, sodium alginate. Work by J.F. Sara at the Environmental Toxicology Laboratory of the EPA, and A. Huag, as reported in The Composition and Properties of Alginates, show that alginates bind other metal pollutants, such as excess barium, lead, plutonium, cesium and cadmium. Use kelp (5-10 tablets) for chelating I-131, anduse dulse for chelating plutonium. Obviously, make sure your sea vegetables come from as safe an ocean source as possible.
III. Increase your antioxidant intake
Keeping the body high in antioxidant nutrients and enzymes will nullify the free radicals created by the radiation exposure.
Dangerous levels of Fukushima radiation headed for West Coast, say scientists
Posted by EndlessMemories in Health, News on July 24, 2012

Tuesday, July 24, 2012
By: Ethan A. Huff
[NaturalNews] In the immediate wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster that occurred in Japan last year, radioactive releases of epic proportions flooded the waters of the Pacific Ocean, where they now flow adrift. And even though more than a year has passed since the time of the first releases, some scientists believe the worst is yet to come as these water-borne radioactive plumes head for the U.S. West Coast.
Russia Today (RT) reports that a team of scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory recently constructed some models designed to assess the impact of Fukushima radiation over the longer term. To do this, they simulated ocean currents in the Pacific, and evaluated how radiation would both disperse and travel.
They discovered that, within the next few years, the worst of Fukushima's radiation releases will make its way across the Pacific and hit the American coastline. So-called "packets" of radiation are also expected to continue forming as the larger plumes travel via the ocean currents, which could result in highly radioactive waves of ocean water striking West Coast beaches in the very near future.
"Within one year, it will have spread over the entire western half of the North Pacific, and in five years we predict it will reach the U.S. West Coast," says Claus Boning, co-author of the study, about the Fukushima radiation releases. "The levels of radiation that hit the U.S. coast will be small relative to the levels released by Fukushima. But we cannot accurately estimate what those levels will be because we do not know for certain what was released by Fukushima."
Leaked – Fukushima clean-up crews covered up true radiation readings
And the world may never know just how much radiation was, and potentially continues to be, released by Fukushima, as a recently leaked recording verifies that Fukushima plant workers were encouraged to lie about radiation readings at the plant. According to RT, clean-up workers were given lead boxes which they were told to use as "shields" to block radiation readings in order to make them appear lower than they really were.
This obviously insinuates that radiation readings were far higher at the Fukushima plant than the world was told they were, and that these levels more than likely far exceeded the maximum exposure levels considered to be safe for plant workers. The company accused of the cover-up, Build-up, later admitted that workers were encouraged to wear these deceptive radiation shields.
Why Are So Many Bad Things Happening To America?

July 18, 2012
Have you ever wondered why things have been going so badly for the United States in recent years? Our economy is falling apart, we have been plagued with heat, drought and endless natural disasters, our cities are absolutely crumbling, we just keep getting involved in even more wars and Americans are more anxious and more overweight than ever before. So why are so many bad things happening to America? Why do we lead the world in so many bad categories? Why does nothing seem to be going right? Are we under some kind of a curse? It is almost as if we have entered a "perfect storm" that just keeps getting worse. In the old days it would seem like something bad would happen to the United States every once in a while, but now massive problems seem to be hitting us in rapid fire fashion. At this point, many Americans have "crisis fatigue" because our problems never seem to end. Each new crisis just seems to overlap with all of the other problems that are still going on. So why is this happening, and what is our country going to look like if our problems continue to multiply at this rate?
The following are some of the bad things that are happening to America right now….
Heat And Drought
This summer, thousands of new high temperature records have been set all over the country, and weather conditions are much drier than normal in most of the nation.
In fact, the drought that we are experiencing right now is being called the worst drought in more than 50 years. More than 1,000 counties in the United States have already been declared to be official disaster areas, and there is no end to the drought in sight.
All over America this drought is killing the corn and this is causing the price of corn to soar. The following is from a recent Financial Post article….
Chicago Board of Trade corn for December delivery has soared 54% since mid-June, reaching a contract high of US$7.78 on Monday and approaching its record price near US$8.
Soybeans for November delivery soared to a new contract high of US$15.97 before slipping back a few cents.
Crop watchers were alarmed that corn rated poor-to-very poor jumped to 38%, versus 30% last week and 11% a year ago.
The record high for the price of corn is just $7.99 a bushel. Many believe that the price of corn will soon blow well past that price and could eventually reach $10 a bushel.
Unfortunately, there is not much hope on the horizon. It is being projected that these very hot and very dry conditions will persist well into August.
The extreme heat has also been responsible for an unusual number of wildfires in the western United States this year. The recent horrific wildfires in Colorado made headlines all over the nation.
Sadly, these wildfires are part of a rising trend. The truth is that the 6 worst years for wildfires in the United States ever recorded have all happened since the year 2000.
So what is causing this to happen?
What is causing so much of the country to go up in flames?
Earlier this year, many areas of the heartland of America were absolutely ripped to shreds by very powerful tornadoes.
More tornadoes happen in the United States than anywhere else in the world, and unfortunately we have seen a tremendous amount of tornado activity in this country in recent years.
In 2009, there were 1146 tornadoes in the United States.
In 2010, there were 1282 tornadoes in the United States.
In 2011, there were 1691 tornadoes in the United States.
Overall, 2011 was the worst year for natural disasters in U.S. history.
So where will 2012 rank when everything is all said and done?
Radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster will be affecting Americans for many years to come.
Most Americans do not think much about Fukushima anymore, but the truth is that Fukushima is still putting out a tremendous amount of radiation, and that radiation travels eastward towards us.
A couple of months ago, one reporter discovered that radiation levels in rain falling on Los Angeles were five times above normal.
But we don't hear about this in the mainstream media, do we?
One recent study concluded that the highest concentration of Fukushima radiation in the Pacific Ocean will eventually be just off the west coast of the United States.
But our "authorities" tell us that there is no reason to be concerned, so most Americans will continue to ignore the incredible tragedy that continues to unfold at Fukushima.
If you are not sure what to think about what is going on at Fukushima, perhaps the following statistic will get your attention….
Recent tests have shown that 36 percent of all children living in the Fukushima Prefecture in Japan have abnormal growths on their thyroid glands. After the Chernobyl disaster, less than 2 percent of all children living in the area surrounding Chernobyl were found to have abnormal growths on their thyroid glands.
Economic Collapse
The last recession was the worst economic crisis that America has faced since the Great Depression, and our economy has never even come close to recovering from it.
Now we are on the verge of another global financial meltdown that appears likely to be even worse than the last one.
Peter Schiff, the president of Euro Pacific Capital, says that the U.S. economy is headed for a crisis that will make the recession of 2008 and 2009 look like a walk in the park.
So what is going to happen if the economy goes into the toilet and unemployment skyrockets much higher than it is now?
That is frightening to think about.
Poverty Explosion
Even during this "economic recovery", poverty in America continues to soar.
For example, since Barack Obama has been president the number of Americans on food stamps has risen from 32 million to 46 million.
Overall, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home where at least one person receives benefits from the federal government according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That is an all-time record high.

Echoes of Yul are a relatively new doom/ambient duo from Poland. Their 2009 eponymous debut is a droned, sludged, and ultimately dark album with some well-placed vocal samples/spoken word passages.
Band does a great job of approaching songs with a tasteful metal/heavy edge, carried by dense ambient atmospherics. For being a longer album, it really moves at a steady clip; minus a lull from "Pony" to "Ape", 'Echoes of Yul' is a feedback-tuned wall of sound that crushes to the core.
"Clean" has to be a favorite...

Even if your mobile device already took control over you, there are some ways out of possible dilemmas and it's not necessary to make extensive use of your brain. Just look at my collage to see what can be done.
The worst case for a mobileholic is malfunctioning of her/his beloved companion (stats say that 'his' is more likely than 'her'). A common problem is mismanagement of the device's memory.
Think of it like this:
You want to send money to an account and already looked up the account number. Somebody asks you 'What time do we have our appointment with Mr. Smith?'. After answering, your short-term memory containing the account number is deleted or the account number you are sure it's right now contains transposed digits.
You have to reboot and load your memory with the account number. If you don't look up the account number again your money transfer might fail.
Regarding your device an app may execute an unwanted operation which might freeze it e.g. by running into an endless loop. You tap on a control but the app doesn't react or delivers wrong information to the brain of your device, the processor in cooperation with the memory.
A REBOOT removes any not-wanted elements associated with apps or the operating system in the device's memory and trimming it down to the core elements.

If you are looking to lose weight and detox your body, then try 310 Detox Tea, our flat tummy tea. Not everyone is a tea drinker, but if you are then you might fall in love with both the original 310 Detox Tea flavor as well as 310 Detox Peach Tea.
Why 310 Detox Tea Is A Superior Flat Tummy Tea
Many teas suggest they are a flat tummy tea but offer more diuretic properties that leave you dehydrated. With 310 Detox Teas, you are getting healthy ingredients that are actually good for you. One benefit of drinking a detox tea is that it helps to improve liver function. Also, 310 Detox Tea provides the body with high doses of antioxidants because it contains pomegranate.
Pomegranate Benefits
Both regular and peach flavor teas contain 100 mg of pomegranate extract. According to research[1], pomegranates offer three times higher antioxidants than red wine and green tea:
"The antioxidant activity of pomegranate juices was evaluated by four different methods (ABTS, DPPH, DMPD, and FRAP) and compared to those of red wine and a green tea infusion. Commercial pomegranate juices showed an antioxidant activity (18-20 TEAC) three times higher than those of red wine and green tea (6-8 TEAC)."
In fact, pomegranate juice out-powers grape, blueberry, black cherry, acai, cranberry, orange and apple juice. Yep, the juicy, seedy fruit contains higher antioxidants than all of its rival juices.
Additionally, pomegranate juice and or extracts provide abounding benefits. The active ingredients include polyphenols, tannins, and ellagic acid that:
- Reduce high blood pressure
- Fight inflammation
- Relieve osteoarthritis
- Prevent cell damage
- Improve memory
- Reduce hypertension
- Improve heart health
Other Metabolism Boosting Benefits
Organic Green Tea
Green tea aids in weight loss by boosting the metabolism while also providing energy.
Yerba Mate
A metabolism booster and a nervous system stimulator, yerba mate helps to lower cholesterol.
Aids in weight loss while increasing energy while helping you feel full.
Oolong Wu Yu
Oolong is partially fermented and known to help to burn fat while increasing metabolism.
Organic Rooibos
Rooibos is aromatic, low in tannins, and has no oxalic acid so it is stomach soothing, and it is even known to reduce cramps.
Known to be a stomach acid reducer, ginger is easy on the stomach while also providing weight loss properties by boosting the metabolism.
High in antioxidants and great for digestion, pomegranate is also an anti-inflammatory aiding cancer prevention as well as helping reduce chances of arthritis.
Responsible for flushing the body of extra water, birch is also useful for expelling fat from the body.
Stevia is a natural sweetener and a healthier sugar substitute.
Corn Flower
This type of flower added for aroma and flavoring purposes.
The only difference between our regular and peach flavor teas is one ingredient. Regular 310 Detox Tea contains 20 mg of honey powder, while 310 Detox Peach Tea contains 10 mg of natural peach flavoring.
Weight Loss With 310 Nutrition Detox Tea
Yerba mate in 310 Detox Tea provides metabolism-boosting properties because yerba mate quickly helps the body shed fat. Not to mention, yerba mate contains caffeine for energy and natural antioxidants. Meanwhile, Guarana helps suppress the appetite so you feel less hungry while ginger reduces bloating.
Once again, both contain 100 mg of pomegranate extract for additional antioxidants and anti-inflammatory support. So, if you want to lose weight, you can't go wrong with adding 310 Detox Tea to a healthy and balanced meal plan. Remember, it's not about dieting but choosing a healthier lifestyle choice.

New Year's Evening at the Pops
Give your kids a hoppin', poppin' fun New Year's Eve party all their own.
It's likely that your kids are already in bed when the clock strikes midnight, missing the festivities adults enjoy when marking the New Year. This year, bring your kids into the fun—but just a few hours earlier. Let New Year's celebrations around the world inspire you to fast-forward your clocks to celebrate in another time zone! Fun food such as Tick-tock Clock Cookies, a popcorn bar and sparkling juice served in plastic stemware add to the festivities. Make your own colorful noisemakers by recycling glass or plastic bottles. Lead the kids in energetic party games and it should tire them out enough so you can enjoy your celebration later, when the kids head to bed.
The Balloon Drop
Add excitement and anticipation to the countdown with this game:
1. Use a twin-sized sheet and secure two corners on one side to the ceiling above the center of the room with small nails or tacks. (Note: You will need help to place the balloons and to secure the sheet.)
2. Blow up balloons, fill the sheet and then secure the other side of the sheet to the ceiling.
3. At the countdown, have another adult help you release two corners and drop the balloons on your gathered guests. The kids will love the balloon shower!
4. Optional: each guest receives a bottle of bubbles to blow at each other when the clock strikes "midnight."
Shake, Rattle & Roll
Make colorful and customizable noisemakers for the big day (and use them later for the grown-up party, too).
by Jickie Torres
Why rely on the same old party favors for your New Year's festivities, when you can make your own with a few materials from around the house? "Upcycle" an empty soda bottle into a DIY party rattle that is as fun to make as it is to shake.
• Empty glass or plastic drink bottle with screw-on cap
• foil confetti
• plastic buttons
• glass and plastic beads
• pipe cleaners
• pencil
• 3-4 strands of lightweight ribbon in various coordinating colors
Clean and thoroughly dry the bottle and its top. Remove the label, if possible.
Into the bottle, add confetti, buttons and beads in colors that coordinate with your theme.
Curl the pipe cleaners into springs by wrapping them around a pencil. Then place them inside the bottle.
Replace the bottle cap and tie a ribbon around the top to finish.
Create a Popcorn Bar
Offer a variety of fun, tasty treats to top freshly popped corn.
For the popcorn buffet, serve in individual-sized bowls, hand-decorated paper bags or splurge on colorful paper bags. Offer dry ingredients in shakers you can make out of small canning jars by poking holes in the lids, or serve in small bowls or ramekins with spoons. For the liquid toppings, use small cruets, bottles or dress up recycled honey bears in festive New Year's attire.
Perfect Popcorn
To make approximately 10 cups of popcorn, place 1-3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add ½ cup popcorn and, away from heat, shake pan to distribute oil and kernels. Cover and place pan on burner until you hear kernels popping vigorously. Shake pan a bit to pop last kernels; remove from heat when popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Pour into a large serving bowl. Repeat.
Here are some favorite toppers:
Chocolate Spice
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine well and serve in a small shaker, such as a clean, recycled spice jar.
Dry toppings:
• M&Ms or similar candies
• Creole seasoning
• Gummy bears
• Chocolate morsels
• Dried cranberries
• Parmesan cheese
• Garlic powder
• Mixed cereal
• Coconut
• Chocolate spice (recipe above)
• Sunflower seeds and small nuts (such as pine or crushed varieties)
• Brewer's yeast
• Kosher salt
Liquid toppings:
• Caramel
• Honey
• Agave
• Maple syrup

Policy Definitions
Sexual Violence and Relationship Violence is governed by Purdue University's Anti-Harassment Policy. While you may wish to review the Policy in its entirety for additional information and definitions, here are some important definitions:
Affirmative, clear communication given by words or actions that shows an active, knowing and voluntary agreement to engage in mutually agreed-upon sexual activity. Consent is given freely and voluntarily. Consent may not be inferred from silence, passivity or when an individual is Incapacitated or otherwise prevented from giving Consent as a result of impairment due to a mental or physical condition or age. No Consent exists when there is a threat of force or physical or psychological violence.
Although Consent may be given initially, it may be withdrawn at any point without regard to activity preceding the withdrawal of Consent.
The voluntary nature of Consent will be subject to heightened scrutiny in circumstances in which a person engages in a sexual relationship with a person over whom he or she has any power or authority within the University.
A mental state in which an individual cannot make rational decisions because they lack the capacity to give knowing Consent (e.g., to understand the who, what, where, why and how of their sexual interaction). Such Incapacitation may be caused by alcohol or other drug use, sleep or unconsciousness. Intoxication is not equivalent to Incapacitation.
Relationship Violence
Any physical, sexual and/or psychological harm against an individual by a current or former intimate or romantic partner. Intimate or romantic partners may be dating, cohabitating, married, separated or divorced, and may be of the same or opposite sex.
Sexual Exploitation
An act that exploits someone sexually. Examples of Sexual Exploitation include, but are not limited to:
- Exposing one's own or another person's intimate parts without Consent.
- Recording video or audio, photographing, or transmitting intimate or sexual utterances, sounds or images without Consent of all parties involved.
- Allowing others to view sexual acts (whether in person or via a video camera or other recording device) without the Consent of all parties involved.
- Engaging in any form of voyeurism.
Sexual Harassment
- Any act of Sexual Violence.
- Any act of Sexual Exploitation.
- Any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favors or other written, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature when:
- Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, education or participation in a University program or activity;
- Submission to, or rejection of, such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for, or a factor in, decisions affecting that individual's employment, education or participation in a University program or activity; or
- Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's employment or academic performance or creating an intimidating, offensive or hostile environment for that individual's employment, education or participation in a University program or activity.
Sexual Violence
Any non-Consensual sexual act, including but not limited to rape, sexual assault, sexual battery and sexual coercion. Sexual Violence also includes Relationship Violence. Examples of Sexual Violence include, but are not limited to:
- Non-Consensual sexual contact: touching, with any body part or object, another person's intimate parts (e.g., genitalia, groin, breast, buttocks), whether clothed or unclothed.
- Non-Consensual sexual intercourse: oral, anal and/or vaginal penetration, to any degree and with any body part or object.
- Compelling a person to touch his or her own or another person's intimate parts without Consent.
Any knowing or intentional course of conduct involving repeated or continued following, threatening or intimidating another by telephone, mail, electronic communication, social media, in person or any other action, device or method that 1) would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress or fear of bodily injury or death and 2) actually causes such person substantial emotional distress or fear of bodily injury or death.

Welcome to my first blog post!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by this website is simple and easy to use. If you're coming across my content for the first time make sure that you allow desktop notifications so that you can be the first to know.
Let's talk about why you may be here!
1. Are you looking to work with me?
2. Are you looking for support, tools, training and empowerment to produce results that you want?
3. Are you just looking for information to learn?
4. Are you looking for an extra way to earn some money?
I Do It All
I provide solid sound information in the form of education, motivation, & inspiration.
Education – you need to know the ins and outs , good and bad, the challenges and rewards. You need to learn from someone who consistently does this on a daily basis.
Motivation – you need to have the right attitude and mindset. If you don't have a strong mentality then you will end up quitting. I know for sure that quitters never win and winners never quit.
Inspiration – you need support in your corner. Someone that believes in you right along with you. Everyone comes from many different backgrounds, situations and circumstances
Let's Talk About My Training
My training is all contained inside of my coaching program. Training is where the empowerment comes to enable you to produce results in your business. Success is a process made up of many moving parts. Each moving part has specific detail steps of tasks and behaviors that yield specific results.
I Cover
Internet Marketing – this is the use of digital professional branding, marketing & advertising tools to leverage the entire internet. These tools consist of a website which is the foundation to all the rest of the tools that exist. It includes lead capture & sales funnel software which integrates into your website and autoresponder.
The big problem the industry has as a whole is overpricing and under delivering. There is a right way and a wrong way to do internet marketing. Most everyone has an idea that they need a lead capture system and autoresponder but nearly 100% fail to understand or recognize the foundation that comes before that.
This missing piece to the puzzle greatly harms and obstructs the results people are looking for. When it comes to branding there is only one right way to do it anything additional is an extension. Consistent results come from consistently doing the right behaviors.
Always Remember There Is Way More To Learn About Creating Success Then There Is To Actually Do!!
Network Marketing – this is all based on the relationships you build and maintain. There is a 50 year gap between this approach and internet marketing. You can apply both and interchange between the two. Internet marketing is dealing with digital technology which is creating an indirect approach that tends to lead to direct relationships to being forged.
I teach all skills under the scope of both skill sets, I reduce the cost and learning curve in the process of delivering this type of value.

Circle ways make healthy schools
To build a healthy community we must turn toward one another, as we do when we gather together in a circle. Circle ways come from people who lived close to the earth and the cycles of life, who knew something many of us forget—that we belong to each other. No one is expendable, least of all our children. We gathered in circles to dance and to drum, to celebrate and grieve, to share stories, make decisions, govern, dream, do justice...and more.
At Circle Ways we are part of the remembering and the continuing of these ancient ways and of their practice and development in schools. With more than 30 years of experience in public, private, and parochial schools, Circle Ways provides training, coaching, facilitation, materials, and other support to help schools implement circle practices, including: way of council, restorative justice, and nature connections.
Circle practice is not an add-on program requiring additional time in the school day, but a pedagogy that shifts the way we interact and learn. With Circle Ways' support, educators and administrators bring this shift to the academic curriculum, social-emotional skill building, and student-directed curriculum, as well as in the engagement of staff, students, parents, and community members in the art of collaboration.
Read about our offerings on this website. Contact Us with your inquiries or comments. Scroll to the bottom of this page to subscribe to our email list so we can keep you informed about our events and happenings.
Register for one of our Upcoming Public Workshops, our free monthly Educators Circle (last Wednesday of the month) , or come for a free sample of council at a Friday happy hour-and-a-half Circle Ways Taster. We look forward to being with you in the circle.

Much of what happens in the baseball/softball swing happens too fast to be tracked by the human eye. To ignore the value of video in the teaching process is a mistake that we won't make. Every camper's swing will be recorded, analyzed and shared with the player and his/her parents following the camp season. We have found this to be a terrific way to extend the learning experience from the camp to home to the diamond.
2019 Summer Camps have concluded.
Short of actually being Eddie Rosario or Max Kepler, Twins Summer Camps presented by Select Heartland Chevy Dealers is as close to the Twins baseball experience as you can get!
From tee-ball to the Major Leagues, baseball is loved throughout Twins Territory. This program serves as a way for the Twins to share their passion with the thousands of players, parents, and coaches who love baseball and softball as we do.
Our program's promise is to provide a world-class Twins Baseball Experience that will forever own a page in the memory scrapbook of every boy and girl who joins us. Read on and see why the summer of 2019 could be the best summer ever for your young player.
If you have any questions, please contact Tim Rappe at firstname.lastname@example.com or 612-249-9100.
Camp Philosophy
Some kids will come to camp having never played ball before, and some will come with dreams of someday playing at Target Field. Regardless of experience and skill level, each player will have the camp experience of a lifetime. We won't settle for anything less.
A great baseball camp contains a recipe of fun, competition, camaraderie, and excellent instruction. On Monday when you meet the camp staff, you will find them full of baseball and softball knowledge and unbridled passion to share with your kids. While being such knowledgeable coaches, our staff really knows how to create a fun and inviting atmosphere. And, of course, kids love friendly competition. That's why, every day, we include fun competitions and award special Twins memorabilia.
The bottom line is that when we mix in one part competition, two parts fun, one part relationship building, and five parts instruction, you have a recipe for magic moments.
It doesn't matter if your athlete is six and picking up a bat for the first time or 14 and is a top-level player, this camp will profoundly improve each player's skills and ability.
At each camp, we use a progressive system of hitting, throwing, and fielding. Depending on how well the groups achieve the various steps in our teaching progression, we will advance the curriculum to match that progress. In addition, we will spend time on position specific skills like pitching, catching, middle infield play, fastpitch pitching and slap hitting and outfield.
How can we have a camp with six-year-olds and 14 year-olds? Look at it this way. A K-8 school does not have second graders and eighth graders in P.E. or math class together. They may pass in the hallways, take the same bus, and be in the same yearbook but they are not in class together. Just like school, at camp, they will be in the same place, but not in "class" together either.
We also recognize that not all players of the same age have equal ability. For safety reasons, and because it facilitates the best learning environment, players will be grouped by age and ability. These teams will then stay together throughout the week with the same coach (e.g. Team Rosario, Team Kepler, Team Berrios, etc.). There will be cross-pollination of instructors but we have found that the bonds created between teammates and their primary coach is one of the truly special dynamics at camp.
And yes, at our instructors' discretion, tennis balls, whiffle balls and safety balls will be used liberally at camp. Of course, we will use regulation baseballs and softballs but fear-free confidence is a critical foundation for fun and learning success.
There isn't much the Minnesota Twins can't teach you about baseball or softball. The bottom line is that no matter how good you are or how good you want to be, we have a curriculum and instructors who will get you ready for that night's game or next weekend's big tourney.
We understand that travel ballplayers' schedules can be hectic in the summer. We will protect your arm if you are scheduled to pitch and you can take it easy if you've got a game that night. Give us a week and you will improve, no matter your current level of play.
Each week we will travel to Target Field for a very special experience that will include spending an amazing time with one of the current Twins coaches.
Parents know that when you find a great teacher, you try to keep them for as long as you can! Great teachers can be game changers in our kids' lives, and great baseball and softball coaches are the same.
That's why we carefully select, screen, train and monitor our instructors. Then we encourage them to unleash all the passion and creativity they can muster.
Each camp day for your child should be a masterpiece. These coaches get that, and they love it.
The bottom line, the men and women entrusted with the training of your kids are as good as they come. We promise.
Every instructor will have passed a background check.
Camp Details
We understand that $395 is a significant investment, and we know that you don't want to hear about how expensive it is to put on a production like this.
Maybe this will help. Consider 30 hours of terrific instruction, four complimentary Twins game tickets, a V.I.P. day at the ballpark, meeting a current Twins player, getting instruction from a Twins coach, a full Twins uniform, and the unforgettable friendships and memories - all for about what some of us pay a babysitter on an hourly basis ($13.17). And this is NOT a babysitting experience! Location of game tickets to be determined, subject to availability. ADA accessible game tickets available upon request.
The registration fee is $395. You may pay the fee in full on-line. If you register before May 1, 2019, you may reserve your spot by paying a $175 deposit now and the balance will be due on May 1, 2019 - your card will be automatically charged. The $175 deposit is refundable, if you notify camp staff prior to May 1, 2019, subject to the cancellation policy outlined below. If you register after May 1, 2019, you must pay the entire fee when you register for camp.
Register prior to 3/1/19 and receive a $25 discount. This discount may not be combined with any other discount.
Many parents use their employer's FSA benefit to save even more. Check with your employer to see if the camp fee qualifies as Dependent Care. For FSA reimbursement purposes, the camp's FEIN is 45-0643499.
Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. CT.
Camps are open to boys and girls ages 6 to 14.
If you register two or more children from the same immediate family, a $25 discount will be applied to each registration fee. In order to receive the Family Discount the registrations must be submitted together by completing the "Add another registration" section of the registration form.
You must notify camp staff in writing to cancel your registration. If you cancel your registration at least 40 days prior to the first day of camp, you will receive a refund equal to the registration fee you paid. If you cancel your registration 14 to 39 days prior to the first day of camp, you will receive a refund equal to the registration fee you paid minus a $75 cancellation fee. No refunds will be given for cancellations made less than 14 days prior to the first day of camp. Any amounts refunded are subject to deduction of processing fees.
Camps begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. However, to accommodate parents' schedules, you may drop off your camper as early as 8 a.m. and/or pick him/her up as late as 5 p.m. An additional $5 will be charged for each early or late "Extra Inning." Just check in with the camp Field Director on Monday morning.
Campers should bring their own lunch and drinks. Please make sure to affix your player's name to these items.
In the event of inclement weather, outdoor camp activities will be moved indoors. Our curriculum has provisions for excellent indoor activities and instruction.

Today is the 26th of October, known as the Saudi women driving campaign say. Some women actually took the action and drove today, and some started two years ago like the the first woman who took the driving initiative seriously, Manal Al Shareef. Women driving in Saudi has been one of the most controversial issues recently. If you want to start a fiery conversation, just mention women driving. In my own family this topic is the start of many fights. Some strongly agree with it, and others can't stand the thoughts of it.
First, watch this video by the lady who started it all. Followed by a story of my own struggle. Then read on for the most common pros and cons people discuss.
Isn't it just inspiring? It actually brought tears to my eyes!
We all agree that driving is important because without it we won't be able to go anywhere. Especially in Saudi since we don't have a public transportation system. Local shops that are walking distance are dominated by men, and suitable shops for women are all miles away and are mainly located by a highway, which makes it even more impossible to go there on foot. Not all families have a willing male guardians who want to take them out. By going out, I don't only mean going shopping, but going to work, school, visiting family and other important things.
With more Saudi women working, the need for drivers is increasing! There are many working class families struggling with this issue. Let me tell you quickly about
my own struggle
with this issue.
After I graduated, I started working in a local university *mashallah*. Even though, the university is local to me, but its about an hour drive. My family has a driver (who gets 2000 SR a month excluding the car, the gas, his housing, car care, and everything else), but he drivers my aunt to her job, which has the same start as my job. So, I had to find another private driver. Finding him was a huge issue, and private drivers in Saudi take total advantage of the women's needs because they know their choices are very limited. So, he charged me 2000 SR (330 GBP) for a month five days a week. My mother also works, and she pays about 1000 SR for her driver. As three working females, we spend a minimum of 5000 SR (825 GBP) and thats without considering other charges for going to other places, gas or car maintenance.
Not to mention the million issues these drivers bring to our lives, and the fear women suffer from the whole driver. What if this driver stops in the middle of the desert and assault the poor woman in the back of the car? He is a stranger after all.
Real Story:
My mom's coworker's driver got a better offer and he decided to leave her. One morning, after he dropped her to university he texted her saying he is no longer interested in working for her and told her to pick up the keys from the outside guard. When she went outside, she received the keys, but the car was GONE! Who would want to deal with this? If only she could drive herself.
Exception to the general ban of driving:
There are some establishment within Saudi that allow women to driver, such as Saudi Aramco campus, which started half a century ago. Recently, the King Abdullah University city allowed women to drive as well.
Here are some of the Pros and Cons people discuss when they talk about women driving:
Driving will give women more freedom, and make them less dependant of their male guardian.
Having less foreign drivers who charge so much
Making the car journey safer instead of being under the mercy of a strange man.
A women will be able to get to work and other places without begging all the males of her family to take her to one place (even her own sons).
In case of an emrgancy, or the need to go to the hospital, a woman should be prepared to take action. What if her male guardian got injured, and she can't find another driver?
It's a human right. The right of mobility.
Driving will give women more freedom, and make them less dependant of their male guardian.
Some Saudi men are not respectful towards women, and some will go out of their way when they see a women driving to harass her intentionally. Especially, teenagers and uneducated, close minded men.
Saudi men and men who drive in Saudi -generally- don't follow any rules and they just drive not caring about any one on the road. There are all sorts of violations on the street and women might not be ready for that.
The Saudi roads are so messed up and they are not fit for more people to drive.
Speaking of the Cons, here is a comical song that shows the perspective of some men who are against women driving:
Other Important Issues in Saudi:
Driving is certainly not the only problem that people should focus on. There are issues of housing, starting a business, medical care, education, women employment and the laws of women travelling outside of Saudi. Like any country, Saudi has room to develop and improve. The good and the bad is present everywhere, and there is not a perfect country out there. Each one has issues that its dealing with.
Feel free to share your struggles/thoughts in the comments bellow and please remember to be respectful and kind to each other.

The only son of Henry VIII, Edward VI (1537-53) ruled during the Protestant Reformation in England, a period not only of dramatic religious change, but also of warfare, political intrigue, and popular rebellion. Hayward, who was imprisoned by Elizabeth I for his controversial book on Henry IV and his involvement in the conspiracy of the Earl of Essex in 1600, wrote his biography of Edward at the end of the Jacobean period when major challenges were facing the monarchy. He proclaimed that his narrative was intended to be a "monument" to the "un-perishable fame" of the king and focused his efforts on court politics, foreign policy, and military affairs.
Although few contemporary scholars would accept Hayward's interpretation of the reign at face value, his work influenced historical thinking for over three centuries.

HTC's first tablet, the HTC Flyer, is preparing to land in the UK. The Brits at Clove were very happy to announce the start of the Flyer pre-order and they even have a quick pros and cons for the device.
They'll be posting one-to-one comparisons with other tablets over the next few weeks, biding their time until the HTC Flyer stock arrives…
By Clove's estimates this will happen in mid-April. They're still waiting for official pricing and will amend the pre-order prices before shipping. Right now, the Flyer is priced at £600 (including VAT), which works out to €690. That's a bit pricier than the €669 that Amazon Germany is asking for it.
The HTC Flyer is one of the smallest tablets we saw at the MWC with its 7" screen and it runs Android 2.4, which apparently is still Gingerbread (sorry ice cream lovers) but it will support apps designed for dual-core Honeycomb tablets and also bring in some of the new UI elements.
Oh, and then there's the resurrection of the stylus – Scribe as HTC call it. It's easier to show on video than to explain, so here it is.
Here's Clove's pre-order page for the HTC Flyer.

I get it. I know how it feels to be working out hard and eating healthy but still not feeling confident with who you see in the mirror.
Tired, frustrated and defeated you wonder 'what you are doing wrong?'
It may not be you, it may be your metabolism!
Your metabolism describes biochemical reactions in your body. It is how we take in nutrients and oxygen, and use it for fuel for everything we do. This includes activities we control, activities we cannot control and storage of excess energy for later.
So, your metabolic rate is how fast your metabolism can convert energy (calories) into work, heat and storage.
But here is the thing.
As we age our metabolism doesn't really change that much. So our metabolism at 19 is close to the one we have at 70.
So what happens?
It is really other variables (like the ones below) that directly affect the efficiency of our metabolism doing its job.
|– stress
|– type of food we consume
|– toxins
|– quality of food we consume
|– pollution
|– sedentary lifestyle
|– hormones (thyroid, leptin, insulin)
|– decrease in lean muscle mass
|– sleep
|– mindset
Metabolic Adaptation
Another metabolism boosting roadblock is Metabolic Adaptation. This is often seen in individuals that calorie restrict, yo-yo diet and/or do excessive exercise. This causes a negative feedback loop which causes them to have to exercise more and cut more calories to maintain. Ultimately they become sick or injured or give up.
So what are the signs your metabolism is under active?
- weight / fat gain
- tired, chronic fatigue
- difficulty losing weight
- dry skin
- sugar cravings
- may feel stiff, sore and weak
Ideally, we want to keep that connection with our metabolism and keep it firing for us.
Here are my Top 7 Tips:
- Start with breakfast.
A protein rich, low carb with healthy fat breakfast not only triggers our metabolism to wake up and start working but it really sets the stage for the rest of the day.
A couple of my favourites are:
Eggs with Turkey Bacon and Avocado or a Cherry Chia Pudding
- Keep lean muscle.
Cardio is great if you stay in the fat burning zone (55 to 70 % MHR), but when you are done … your fat burning is over. Building lean muscle through resistance training, HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or even LIIT (Low-Intensity Interval Training) can keep your metabolism firing for hours – even days afterwards!
- Eat enough.
If you calorie restrict and do not consume enough calories through the day your important metabolic hormones (thyroid, leptin, insulin) will get all out of whack. Your body will start to 'reverse diet' and hold onto fat for energy.
- Stay off of the blood sugar / insulin roller coaster.
Besides not being healthy, blood sugar spikes wreak havoc on your metabolism. It forces your liver to store the extra sugar as fat, and set off a dangerous chain reaction of insulin surges, high blood pressure, and high triglycerides….just to name a few.
- Time Strategy
We are all busy and trying hard to fit it all in. That is why is it super important to be strategic about your time. Taking 10 min to plan meals on Sunday, working out smarter not harder and learning to say no to things that do not serve you are just a few examples.
Your body actually burns calories to absorb, digest, and metabolize your food. This is called the "thermic effect of food" (TEF).
You can use it to your advantage when you understand how your body metabolizes foods differently.
Fats, for example increase your TEF by 0-3%; carbs increase it by 5-10%, and protein increases it by 15-30%. By trading some of your fat or carbs for lean protein you can slightly increase your metabolic rate.

Wednesday, November 18, 2015
On Friday, the International Monetary Fund announced policymakers are expected to decide this month whether to add China's yuan to the fund's benchmark currency basket for inclusion in the Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket.
This would mark a symbolic coming of age for China as an economic power and an acceptance of its efforts to reform its economy to be more market driven.
But what is the Special Drawing Rights? The SDR was created by the IMF in 1969 as a virtual currency and an international reserve asset.
Its value as set every day, is determined by a basket of currencies comprising the U.S. dollar, the euro, pound sterling, and yen.
The IMF allocates SDRs to its members depending on their stake in the fund, and members can exchange them for hard currency, if they want to adjust the distribution of their reserves.
The SDR interest rate, based on three month market rates for debt in the respective currencies, governs the cost of IMF loans to members.
The currency must be issued by a country or currency union which is one of the world's top exporters over a five year period.
The basket size was cut from 26 currencies to five in 1980, and in 2000 the euro replaced the Deutschmark and the French franc in the basket.

This month, one particular feature in Glamour took my interest in which Stephen Armstrong details his envy of women. No surprise there; we are fabulous.
He's jealous of our clothes choices (but of course!) and the ability to wear make up (thank god for foundation, and blusher, and mascara), while his friends are envious of the ease at which women make emotional connections, multi-task, can have multiple orgasms and even give birth (apparently the latter gives us a crash course in the meaning of life).
I am in 100% agreement regarding our clothing and make up options; both bring a lot of happiness into my life (shallow? moi?), although it's worth noting that technically men are equally as capable of enjoying these two. But do all women make emotional connections more easily? I'm not so sure about that. Brother James could make friends with a stone, and as for multi-tasking, Mr T is quite capable of watching the football while playing Clash of the Clans on his phone.
Multiple orgasms? That's all very well and good except plenty of women in their 20s and 30s struggle to orgasm at all while it seems that men (although they may need a few hours to recover in between bouts) can practically orgasm over anything as long as the physicality is right. Being able to grow a real life human being inside of you is definitely something to be envious of, but to be jealous of motherhood's apparent ability to equip you with the meaning of life is to wilfully ignore the nine months of parasitical squatting, stretch marks, nausea, and the actual agonising tearing horror of the birth.
Stephen and his friends, they were coming from the right place – women are awesome – but the grass is always greener, yes?
So what have you boys got that I'm jealous of? It would appear that some are undeniable and inescapable physical differences (penises!), but others arise mainly from social expectations. I'm envious that men can:
- pee upright (useful in all manner of situations)
- perform any and every bodily function without being considered gross (we all fart, people, even the Queen; just let it go!)
- spend less money on their clothes but still end up with quality (have you seen the price discrepancy between Topshop and Topman? Not cool.)
- spend less money on haircuts ("£110 for a cut and full head of highlights? Are you serious?!")
- jump in the shower, throw some clothes on and consider themselves ready ('shit, shower and shave' is a common, if vulgar, expression, I believe)
- watch a sad film and not automatically well up (The Notebook gets me every time)
- eat a single square of chocolate, not the whole bar, in one sitting (I swear, this is IMPOSSIBLE!)
- avoid four days of cramps and general inconvenience each month (you know what I'm talking about)
- have sex and never ever worry that they're pregnant (I defy you to find a girl that hasn't panicked about this at some point in their life)
- go out in public without make up and people won't flinch (I can go out without make up, but people will flinch)
- always wear flat shoes, whatever the occasion (high heels are torture devices but must be worn with dresses to avoid stumpy leg syndrome)
- ignore stupid body hang-ups and syndromes like stumpy legs, thigh gaps, bikini bridges, muffin tops, bingo wings, cankles, armpit vaginas
- keep 90% of their body hair (except when they go bald – not jealous of that at all)
- eat so much more and lose weight fast if and when they set their mind to it (both scientific FACTS!)
- walk down a dark alley without having a key clenched in their fist ready to gouge someone's eyes out
What would you add?

UPDATE: MU Police Solve 8 Year Murder Case
Related Story
COLUMBIA - MU Police announced Wednesday investigators have solved the 2005 murder of an MU professor. MUPD said that with the help of several other agencies, the department has been able to determine Timothy Aaron Hoag was responsible for the crime. Investigators said they received a tip in December that led them to Hoag and were able to connect Hoag to the crime scene with DNA. Police believe Hoag acted alone in killing of Jeong Im, who was a retired assistant professor at MU. The 72-year-old researcher was stabbed in the chest on January 7, 2005 in the Maryland Avenue parking garage at MU. His body was then stuffed into the trunk of a car, which was doused in gasoline and set on fire.
Hoag jumped to his death from a downtown Columbia parking garage on Aug. 9 of last year. Police were able to confirm that Hoag was at the parking garage on the date and time with information given by another unnamed witness. The witness told police he believed Hoag could have been responsible for the crime, but due to Hoag's "violent nature," was afraid to come forward out of fear for his family.
A 2001 probable cause statement shows Hoag had been charged with third degree assault after threatening to break the hands and arms of a local business owner, hurt the owner's wife while making the children, claiming to get some "sick and twisted pleasure from it."
Following this, police described Hoag as "extremely dangerous" and placed him on probation. Hoag violated that probation a year later after commiting theft.
Another run-in with the law happened in 2005 when police charged Hoag with unlawful use of drug paraphernilia.
Chancellor Brady Deaton was at the Wednesday news conference and said he was glad to hear the news. "We are very relieved and grateful for the resolution of the case. This brings closure on the tragedy, to our family, as well as to the University of Missouri and Columbia communities as a whole."
Police are still unsure of the motive in the case. They were unable to speak to Hoag about motive because he was not a suspect until after his death.

Our church has a heart that beats as one.
We all work together until a job is done.
It does not matter who gets the credit,
For no-one is standing over us to edit.
Here at our church there's give and take.
We all unite together when we celebrate.
We share the burdens and divide the grief,
We are united together as one in our belief.
We love one another despite our mistakes
Because we believe our God undertakes.
There is joy in doing and love in giving,
God left us His word to teach about living.
We want to tell others about Jesus Christ,
How He died on the cross, His sacrifice.
His great commission is leading us on.
We won't rest until our work here is done.
Ephesians 4: 11 - 15 ~ "And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, to the building up of the body of Christ;
Until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result we are no longer to be children, tosses here and there by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ." NAS
