Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost; Dedication of the Church of the Great-martyr George in Lydia
RESURRECTIONAL TROPARION - TONE SIX:The angelic powers were at Your tomb; and the guards became as dead men; and Mary stood by Your grave, seeking Your most pure Body. You did capture hell, not being tempted by it. You did come to the Virgin, granting life. O Lord who did rise from the dead: Glory to You! TROPARION TO ST. GEORGE – TONE FOUR:O liberator of captives, defender of the poor, physician of the sick, and champion of kings, trophy-bearer, great-martyr George, intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved. RESURRECTIONAL KONTAKION - TONE SIX:When Christ God, the Giver of Life, raised all of the dead from the valleys of misery with His mighty hand, He bestowed resurrection on the human race. He is the Savior of all, the Resurrection, the Life, and God of all. KONTAKION TO ST. GEORGE – TONE EIGHT: As we the faithful flee to you for refuge and seek your protection and speedy help, we entreat you, O champion of Christ, that we who sing your praises may be delivered from the snares of the enemy and from every peril and adversary, that we may cry: 'Rejoice, O martyr George!' HYMN TO THE MOTHER OF GOD - TONE SIX:Steadfast Protectress of Christians and constant advocate before the Creator, do not despise the cry of us sinners; but in your goodness come speedily to help us who call on you in faith. Hasten to hear our petition and to intercede for us, O Theotokos, for you always protect those who honor you!
The Prokimenon in the 6th Tone:O Lord, save Your people and bless Your inheritance. 23rd Sunday after Pentecost: Ephesians 2: 4-10 Brethren, God who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The Alleluia Verses: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the heavenly God. He will say to the Lord: My Protector and my Refuge; my God, in whom I trust.
23rd Sunday after Pentecost: Luke 8: 26-39 At that time, Jesus and His disciples sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And when He stepped out on the land, there met Him a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time. And he wore no clothes, nor did he live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!" For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness. Jesus asked him saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him. And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss. Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them. Then the demons went out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned. When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country. Then they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed. Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned. Now the man from whom the demons had departed begged Him that he might be with Him. But Jesus sent him away, saying, "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
Spiritual Articles From The Prologue for November 3/16 by St. Nikolai Velimirovic:
The Hieromartyr Acepsimas, Bishop of Naeson, and others with himThe eighty-year-old Acepsimas, filled with every Christian virtue, was sitting one day in his home with guests. Just then a child, filled with the Spirit of God, ran up to the aged bishop, kissed him on the head and said: "Blessed is this head, for it will receive suffering for Christ." This prophecy was soon fulfilled. King Sapor raised a bitter persecution of Christians throughout Persia, and St. Acepsimas was apprehended. He was brought before a prince who was also a pagan priest. As the bishop was arrested and bound, a member of his household asked him what should be done with his home if he were martyred. The saint replied: "It is no longer my home. I am going to a home on high and will not return." After prolonged interrogation he was thrown into prison. The following day Joseph, a seventy-year-old presbyter, and Aithalas, a deacon, were also imprisoned. After three years of imprisonment and many tortures, Acepsimas was beheaded. Joseph and Aithalas were buried up to their waists in the ground, and the soulless pagans forced Christians to stone them. That night, by God's providence, Joseph's body disappeared, and a myrtle tree grew over Aithalas's body that healed every kind of disease and pain of men. This tree stood for five years before the wicked and envious pagans cut it down. These soldiers of Christ suffered in Persia in the fourth century, during the time of the pagan King Sapor. The Holy Great-martyr GeorgeOn this day we commemorate the translation of the relics of St. George, from Nicomedia, where he suffered at the time of Emperor Diocletian, to the city of Lydda in Palestine. The suffering of this wonderful saint is described on April 23. Anticipating his martyrdom, St. George begged his servant to take his relics to Palestine, where his mother had been born, and where he had distributed his large estate to the poor. The servant did so. During the reign of Emperor Constantine, pious Christians built a beautiful church to St. George in Lydda and, upon the consecration of that church, the relics of the saint were interred there. Innumerable miracles have occurred from these miracle-working relics of St. George, the great-martyr of Christ. The Venerable Elias the Egyptian Elias labored in asceticism near Antinoe, the principle city of the Thebaid. For seventy years, he lived among the arid and inaccessible rocks of the desert. He ate only bread and dates and, in his youth, fasted for weeks at a time. He healed all manner of pains and ailments of the people. He eventually became very shaky in his old age, and entered into the joy of his Lord at the age of 110. Elias said: "Guard your mind from evil thoughts concerning your neighbors, knowing that the demons put them there, aiming to blind you to your own sins and prevent you from directing yourself toward God." HYMN OF PRAISE: The Holy Great-martyr George O George the martyr, O George the victor: Through suffering, you conquered, And through death you have been glorified. You held all things to be of less value Than truth, O George. You gave up earthly power and honor, And stood beside the Living Christ. O George the martyr, O George the victor: Pierced and broken with horrible tortures, You were sustained by God's hand. All your pains were as nothing— By the power of God's mighty hand. We all bow down before you And glorify your name. O Martyr George, O Victor George: Have mercy on us now, By your prayers, protect us Before the throne of Christ God, Our Almighty Savior; And pray that we not fear torture, And that, by patience, we conquer! REFLECTION Among the countless miracles of St. George, this one is recorded: On the island of Mytilene there was a church dedicated to St. George the Great-martyr and Trophy-bearer. All the inhabitants of the island would come to this church on the annual feast of their patron saint. Knowing of this, the Saracens of Crete once attacked this island on its feast day, pillaged the island, and enslaved its inhabitants, taking many of them back to Crete. Among the enslaved was a handsome young man, whom the pirates gave to their prince. The prince made him his servant. The young man's parents were overwhelmed with great sorrow for their son. After a year had passed and St. George's day came again, the grieving parents, following the ancient custom, prepared a table and entertained many guests. Remembering her son, the poor mother went to the icon of the saint, fell to the ground and began to pray that he somehow deliver her son from slavery. The mother then returned to her guests at the table. The host raised a glass and drank a toast to the honor of St. George. Just then their son appeared among them, holding a decanter of wine in his hand. In amazement and fear, they asked him how he had managed to come to them. He replied that as he was about to serve his master wine in Crete, a knight on horseback appeared before him, pulled him up onto the horse and carried him instantly to his parents' home. All were amazed, and glorified God and His wonderful saint, George the Commander and Victory-bearer. CONTEMPLATION Contemplate the wondrous deliverance of Paul and Silas from prison (Acts 16): 1. How these holy apostles were cast into the inner prison and their feet were placed in stocks; 2. How they were at prayer, praising God at midnight; 3. How the earth quaked, the chains fell off those who were bound, and the doors of the prison were opened. HOMILY on Christ as the Head of all the saints That … He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth (Ephesians 1:10). Sin causes panic and confusion. A man drowning in sin and vice is like a chicken with its head cut off which, dying, thrashes about convulsively and rushes to and fro. Before Christ's Incarnation, the whole pagan world was a confused, headless body, dying in convulsions. Christ joined the severed head with the benighted trunk and brought the body of the human race back to life. He is the Head of the heavenly host, and He has always been. And, as the Creating Word of God, He was from the beginning the Head of everything created in the visible world, especially the human race. But sin, like a sword, separated the sinful trunk of Adam from his Head. However, the Lord reconciled heaven and earth in His Incarnation, bringing heaven to earth, and raising earth to heaven, and establishing all of it under His mind, under His headship. Through Christ we are reconciled with the Holy Trinity and the angels of God, with one another, and with the created nature around us. The lost Head has been found and all has been harmoniously arranged beneath it. The Apostle says: We have the mind of Christ (I Corinthians 2:16). As the head is to the physical man, so the mind is to the spiritual inner man. Therefore, if we are Christ's, we must think and judge in all things according to our Head, Jesus Christ, and Him alone. Thinking and judging by Him, we will perceive ourselves as organs of one body that includes other men and the angels: one body, whose Head is Christ. Hence, our love for God is enkindled, and our faith strengthened, and our hope enlightened. Only a sleeping body feels no link with its head. Let us awaken, my brethren, let us awaken while we have time. O Lord Jesus Christ, our All-wise Head, unite us with Thyself. To Thee be glory and praise forever. Amen.

Sunday, November 9, 2014 Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost; The Holy Martyr Nestor
RESURRECTIONAL TROPARION - TONE FIVE: Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word, coeternal with the Father and the Spirit, born for our salvation from the Virgin; for He willed to be lifted upon the Cross in the Flesh, to endure death, and to raise the dead by His glorious Resurrection. TROPARION TO THE HOLY MARTYR NESTOR - TONE FOUR: Your holy martyr Nestor, O Lord, through his suffering has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. Through his intercessions save our souls. RESURRECTIONAL KONTAKION - TONE FIVE: You descended into hell, O my Savior, shattering its gates as Almighty; resurrecting the dead as Creator, and destroying the sting of death. You have delivered Adam from the curse, O Lover of Man, and we all cry to You: O Lord, save us! KONTAKION TO THE HOLY MARTYR NESTOR - TONE TWO: Having fought the good fight, you won immortal glory, O Nestor: you became a perfect soldier for the Master through the prayers of the martyr Demetrius. Together with him, you pray unceasingly to Christ God for us all. HYMN TO THE MOTHER OF GOD - TONE SIX: Steadfast Protectress of Christians and constant advocate before the Creator, do not despise the cry of us sinners; but in your goodness come speedily to help us who call on you in faith. Hasten to hear our petition and to intercede for us, O Theotokos, for you always protect those who honor you!
EPISTLE READING The Prokimenon in the 5th Tone: You, O Lord, shall protect us and preserve us from this generation forever.
22nd Sunday after Pentecost: Galatians 6: 11-18Brethren, see with what large letters I have written to you with my own hand! As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God. From now on let no one trouble me, for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
The Alleluia Verses: I will sing of Your mercies, O Lord, forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your truth from generation to generation. You have said: Mercy will be established forever, and My truth will be prepared in the heavens.
22nd Sunday after Pentecost: Luke 16: 19-31 The Lord told this parable: "There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.' But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.' Then he said, 'I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.' Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.' And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.' But he said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.'"

Body image
Body image is a person's feelings of the aesthetics or sexual attractiveness of their own body, which may be forced onto them by others or social media. The phrase body image was first coined by the Austrian neurologist and psychoanalyst Paul Schilder in his book The Image and Appearance of the Human Body (1935). Human society has at all times placed great value on beauty of the human body, but a person's perception of their own body may not correspond to society's standards.
The concept of body image is used in numerous disciplines, including psychology, medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, philosophy and cultural and feminist studies. The term is also often used in the media. Across these disciplines and media there is no consensus definition. A person's body image is thought to be, in part, a product of their personal experiences, personality, and various social and cultural forces. A person's sense of their own physical appearance, usually in relation to others or in relation to some cultural "ideal," can shape their body image. A person's perception of their appearance can be different from how others actually perceive them.
A 2007 report by the American Psychological Association found that a culture-wide sexualization of girls and women was contributing to increased female anxiety associated with body image.[1] Similar findings associated with body image were found by an Australian government Senate Standing Committee report on the sexualization of children in the media.[2] However, other scholars have expressed concern that these claims are not based on solid data.[3]
Body image can have a wide range of psychological effects and physical effects. Throughout history, it has been extremely difficult for people to live up to the standards of society and what they believe the ideal body is. There are many factors that lead to a person's body image, some of these include: family dynamics, biological predispositions (e.g., depression and anxiety), and cultural expectations (e.g., media and politics). People are constantly told and shown the cosmetic appeal of weight loss and are warned about the risks of obesity; this is something that can lead to a change in a person's body image.[4] According to Dr. Aric Sigman, a British biologist, some women who see underweight women will have an immediate change in brain chemistry which diminishes self-esteem and can increase self-loathing.[5] Often, people who have a low body image will try to alter their bodies in some way, such as by dieting or undergoing cosmetic surgery.
Media impact on body image[edit]
Some girls and young women compare themselves to models in ads, in terms of their physical attractiveness.[6] Many commentators[who?] regard the emphasis in the media and in the fashion industry on thinness and on an ideal female body shape and size as being psychologically detrimental to the well-being of many young women, and on their self-image which also gives rise to excessive dieting and/or exercise.
Not only are stars appearing thin and fit, but also youthful and flawless. A study by Reaves and Hitchon demonstrated that stars and models that appear throughout the media are not only made thinner through computer alterations, but are digitally elongated, with leg length being extended up to 30% to convey this leggy youthfulness.[7] These digital manipulations have contributed to the fact that, over the past few decades, plastic surgeries have increased and common procedures such as breast augmentation and rhinoplasty had increased by more than 700% from 1992 to 2004.[8] Media plays its role in promoting these cosmetic medical treatments through advertisements in magazines and on billboards, typically using beautiful women in a state of happiness. The media's impact is even more negatively impacting society because plastic surgery's demographic is changing as well. More specifically, patients are getting younger. In 2002, almost 225,000 adolescents underwent plastic surgery procedures, both for either cosmetic procedures and for functionality purposes.[8] An article by Mike Featherstone demonstrates that this growth in cosmetic surgery correlated with the airing of the television program Extreme Makeover. [9] The program, beginning in 2002, involved average people undergoing plastic surgery and other cosmetic enhancements to improve their overall appearance. Significantly, the first airing of the show correlated with a 44 percent increase in the total number of cosmetic procedures, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.[10]
A study by Garner and Garfinkel demonstrated that those in professions where there is a particular social pressure to be thin (such as models and dancers) were much more likely to develop anorexia during their career,[11] and further research suggests that those with anorexia have much higher contact with cultural sources that promote weight-loss.[12] The Israeli Parliament recently passed a law prohibiting clinically underweight female or male models from appearing in advertisements and in fashion shows. Under the new legislation, models of either gender must have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 18.5 kg/m2 to be able to work in the industry, and they also need proof that a physician certifies that they are not underweight. In a further step, any artificial enhancements of images to make a person look thinner must be clearly stated right on the image.[13]
However, other researchers have contested the claims of the media effects paradigm. An article by Christopher Ferguson, Benjamin Winegard, and Bo Winegard, for example, argues that peer effects are much more likely to cause body dissatisfaction than media effects, and that media effects have been overemphasized.[3] It also argues that one must be careful about making the leap from arguing that certain environmental conditions might cause body dissatisfaction to the claim that those conditions can cause diagnosable eating disorders.
Body Gossip is an organization founded in 2006 and run by Ruth Rogers and Natasha Devon which campaigns for all body shapes, sizes and issues, whatever race, gender or age.[14]
French child psychoanalyst Francoise Dolto developed a theory of the unconscious body image.[15] Negative perceptions by a person regarding their body, such as a perception that they are fat, can in some cases lead to mental disorders, though there can be a variety of different reasons why these disorders can occur. Problems with body image can lead to disorders such as anxiety, depression and eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa.[citation needed]
A community cohort study was conducted in Navarra, Spain. A region-wide representative sample of 2862 girls who were 12 to 21 years of age completed the Eating Attitudes Test (40-item version) and other questionnaires in 1997. Ninety new cases of eating disorders (per DSMIV criteria) were identified during the follow-up. The results support the role of mass media influences and parental marital status in the onset of eating disorders.[citation needed]
Body image is often measured by asking the subject to rate their current and ideal body shape using a series of depictions. The difference between these two values is the measure of body dissatisfaction. There are many negative effects that body dissatisfaction can have these include: that some research suggests a link between body dissatisfaction in girls and smoking. Also having this body dissatisfaction can affect a girl's comfort with her sexuality when she's older and may lead them to consider cosmetic surgery.[16]
Monteath and McCabe found that 44% of women express negative feelings about both individual body parts and their bodies as a whole.[17] Psychology Today found that 56% of the women and about 40% of the men who responded to their survey in 1997 were dissatisfied with their overall appearance.[18] American youth (37.7% of males and 51% of females) express dissatisfaction with their bodies.[19]
In America, the dieting industry earns roughly 40 billion dollars per year. A Harvard study (Fat Talk, Harvard University Press) published in 2000 revealed that 86% of teenage girls are on a diet or believe they should be on one. Dieting has become a very common thing to not only teenage girls but even younger children as well. The National Eating Disorders Association has found out that 51% of 9 and 10 year old girls actually feel better about themselves when they are on a diet.[20]
"Currently over 40 instruments for the measurement of body image exist (Thompson, Altabe, Johnson, & Stormer, 1994)". All of these instruments can be put into three categories: figure preferences, video projection techniques, and questionnaires. Because there are so many ways to measure body image, it makes it difficult to draw meaningful research generalizations. Many factors have to be taken into account when measuring body image, including gender, ethnicity, culture, and age.[21]
1.) Figure preferences[edit]
In figure preferences the use of silhouettes is the most common used method. There are many issues with this method though; for one, the drawings are not realistic looking and were originally portrayed as adults so it made them unsuitable for children.[21] Silhouettes are used to show to the subject and have them react to the different body types.
2.) Video projection techniques[edit]
In one study participants were shown a series of images flashing before them; each image was a picture of them but either increased weight or decreased weight. They were measured in self-report by responding to the pictures. Also they were measured by startle-based measures and testing their eyeblink response. "The startle response is a complex set of physiological changes that occur in response to unexpected and intense stimulus (Grillon & Baas, 2003)." These measurements can be useful because "Objective, psychophysiological measures, like the affect modulated startle eyeblink response, are less subject to reporting bias (Grillon & Baas, 2003)." [22]
3.) Questionnaires[edit]
Questionnaires are another very commonly used method of measurement. One example of a questionnaire is BASS; it is a 9-item subscale of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire. It uses a rating scale from −2 to +2 and assesses eight body areas and attributes and overall appearance (face, hair, lower torso, mid-torso, upper torso, muscle tone, height, and weight) (Giovannelli, Cash, Henson, & Engel, 2012). Questionnaires can have confounding variable though. For instance, "Acquiescent response style (ARS), or the tendency to agree with items on a survey, is more common among individuals from Asian and African cultures (Chen, Lee, & Stevenson, 1995; Dolnicar & Grun, 2007; Hamamura, Heine, & Paulhus, 2008)".[23]
Gender differences[edit]
Gender differences related to body image are increasingly prevalent between men and women. Throughout all stages of life, women have more body dissatisfaction than men. Although dissatisfaction is more common in women, men are becoming more negatively affected than women.[24] In a longitudinal study that assessed body image across time and age between men and women, men placed greater significance on their physical appearance than women, even though women report body image dissatisfaction more often. Adolescence is where this difference is most notable. One reason for this is because males are being targeted in the media more heavily today. Historically, and for a much longer period of time, the media has immoderately targeted females, which may explain why they are becoming less sensitized to the effects.[25] This information suggests that appearance pressure and concerns are continuing to affect both men and women in western culture.
Men's body image is a topic of increasing interest in both academic articles and in the popular press. Current research indicates many men wish to become more muscular than they currently perceive themselves to be, often desiring up to 26 pounds of additional muscle mass. According to the study, western men desire muscle mass over that of Asian men by as much as 30 pounds.[26] The desire for additional muscle has been linked to many men's concepts about masculinity. A variety of research has indicated a relationship between men's endorsement of traditionally masculine ideas and characteristics, and their desire for additional muscle.[27] Some research has suggested this relationship between muscle and masculinity may begin early in life, as boys' action figures are often depicted as super-muscular, often beyond the actual limits of human physiology.[28][specify]
In general, research shows that body image in regards to appearance becomes less of a stress for women as they age. Studies show a decline in dissatisfaction of body image in college-aged women as they progress from the first semester of college to subsequent semesters. Their appearance rating of themselves tends to increase, while males' do not significantly change and often become worse. This suggests that the early years of college serve as a period for body image development, which can later affect the mental and physical well being of an individual.[29] Studies have found that females tend to think more about their body shape and endorse thinner figures than men even into old age.[30] When female undergraduates were exposed to depictions of thin women their body satisfaction decreased, but rose when exposed to larger models.[31][32] In addition, many women engage in fat talk (speaking negatively about the weight-related size/shape of one's body), a behavior that has been associated with weight dissatisfaction, body surveillance, and body shame.[33] In addition, women who overhear others using fat talk may also experience an increase in body dissatisfaction and guilt.[34] As a result, women may experience concerns related to body image in a number of different ways and from a variety of sources.
As men and women reach older age, body image takes on a different meaning. Research studies show that the importance attached to physical appearance decreases with age.[29][35] Physical appearance remains important later in life, but the functional aspects of the body take precedence over contentment with appearance.[25] Women are reported to benefit from the ageing process, becoming more satisfied with their images, while men begin to develop more insecurities and issues. Women reach a certain stage where they are no longer subject to the social pressures that heavily emphasize the importance of appearance. Men from the same studies are reported as becoming increasingly dissatisfied with their physical appearance as they age. Men are also less likely to implement appearance-enhancing activities into their daily lives.
The older women become the more satisfied with their body image they are likely to become because of the relief of stress from societal pressures.[36] The older men become, the more dissatisfied they are likely to become due to increased physical and perceived incompetency. Since there are significant differences between men and women across all ages, gender serves as a better predictor of body dissatisfaction and sociocultural perceived influences than age.[35]
Body image and weight[edit]
The desire to lose weight is highly correlated with poor body image, with more women than men wanting to lose weight. Kashubeck-West et al. reported that when considering only men and women who desire to lose weight, sex differences in body image disappear.[37]
In her book The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf reported that "thirty-three thousand women told American researchers they would rather lose ten to fifteen pounds than achieve any other goal." Through repeated images of excessively thin women in media, advertisement, and modeling, thinness has become associated with not only beauty, but happiness and success. As Charisse Goodman put it in her article, "One Picture is Worth a Thousand Diets," advertisements have changed society's ideas of beauty and ugliness: "Indeed to judge by the phrasing of the ads, 'slender' and 'attractive' are one word, not two in the same fashion as 'fat' and 'ugly.'" This idea of beauty has become drastically more narrow and unachievable, putting increased pressure on people looking to satisfy society's standards.
Research by Martin and Xavier (2010) shows that people feel more pressure from society to be thin after viewing ads featuring a slim model. Ads featuring a larger sized model resulted in less pressure to be thin. People also felt their actual body size was larger after viewing a slim model as compared to a larger model[38]
Many, like journalist Marisa Meltzer, have argued this contemporary standard of beauty to be described as anorexic thinness, an unhealthy idea that is not representative of a natural human body: "Never before has the 'perfect' body been at such odds with our true size."[39]
However, these figures do not distinguish between people at a low or healthy weight who are in fact overweight, between those whose self-perception as being overweight is incorrect and those whose perception of being overweight is correct. Recent developments, such as the Body Volume Index have addressed this problem in part by measuring weight distribution, but although 3D images of ourselves help to improve body perception, an objective appraisal of our own body image remains a difficult task for us to undertake.
Post-1997 studies[40] indicate that around 64% of American adults are overweight, such that if the 56%/40% female/male dissatisfaction rates in the Psychology Today study have held steady since its release, those dissatisfaction rates are if anything disproportionately low: although some individuals continue to believe themselves to be overweight when they are not, those persons are now outnumbered by persons who might be expected to be dissatisfied with their body but are not.
In turn, although social pressure to lose weight has adverse effects on some individuals who do not need to lose weight, those adverse effects are outweighed by that social pressure's positive effect on the overall population, without which the recent increases in obesity and associated health and social problems (described in both popular and academic parlance as an "obesity epidemic")[41][42] would be even more severe than they already are.[43]
Miss Representation[44] is a documentary exploring and displaying the role that mainstream media plays in society today with regards to women. Prominent women in today's society were featured in discussing how the media has impacted their life along with their views on how the media is impacting the lives of people from an early age. These media messages have a severe impact on how individuals carry themselves along with what aspects bog them down like insecurities with body image. This film encourages viewers to start to see beyond the message and not compare themselves to these picture perfect computer-generated images.
The 2007 documentary America the Beautiful explores how the fashion and beauty industries are contributing to the problems that individuals feel regarding body image due to their beauty obsession. The film discusses a wide range of topics like plastic surgery, dieting, eating disorders, the modeling industry along with the fashion industry and much more. Young middle-school aged girls were portrayed in the beginning of the film and asked if they found themselves beautiful. The girls who are around the ages of 13 had decided that they were not beautiful. In today's society, people are starting to see themselves as ugly at an earlier age than ever before. As individuals who identify as ugly increase, the number of body image issues also increase.
In a study done at Old Dominion University, Thomas F. Cash, Julie R. Ancis and Melissa D. Strachan studied college women and their attitudes toward gender, feminist identity and body image. "Relative to men, women are considerably more psychologically invested in their appearance. Moreover, women's poor evaluations of and stronger investments in their looks potentiate greater body-image dysphoria in women's daily lives."[45] A contributing factor in this scenario that leads women to greater objectify of their bodies are the images that are seen throughout media. Women who are portrayed in the media often possess unattainable beauty. "Furthermore, the social construct of femininity is partially tied to perceived beauty, as evinced by the 'what is beautiful sex-typed' stereotype."[45] These internalized ideals along with the pursuit for this unattainable beauty of one's body image can lead to body dysmorphic disorder, body objectification, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and other related psychological difficulties.
In the same study from Arizona State University, it was said that the idea of beauty is generated from these media messages. "Cultural messages about beauty (i.e what it is, how it should be cultivated, and how it will be rewarded) are often implicitly conveyed through media representations of women."[46] The 2007 documentary America the Beautiful explores the role of the fashion and beauty in contributing to the problems that individuals feel regarding body image due to their beauty obsession. The film discusses a wide range of topics like plastic surgery, dieting, eating disorders modeling industry and much more.
In the study from Old Dominion University, the authors state the importance of research in this area. "Given the centrality of body image in clinical and subclinical eating disturbances that are so prevalent among women, research on gender and body image has substantial importance." [45] Even though there is research being done, there is still much more work to be done to help individuals who struggle with their body image.

A little about me...
Apologies for the text wall, but I got tired of answering the same questions. If you're looking for cutesy-poo clichés, you should move on. Don't let my serious picture fool you. I'm actually more pleasant than I look, and I like to make people laugh. I just don't like being photographed. I've been an LPN for 37 years and have had the same job for the last 13. I own my house (well, the bank and I do), I can support myself, I'm not a freeloader, and frankly, what you make is of little interest to me. That doesn't mean I plan on supporting anyone. Been there and done that.
I have several hobbies. I was an art major in college before going to nursing school. I still paint on occasion. I am a trained studio photographer. Building models is my main hobby (WW II vehicles, mostly), and I used to compete in shows (I won, too).
I've been in NH for 12 years. I was born and raised in Ohio, near Cleveland.
Politically, I'm a left-leaning moderate, but, in truth, I don't play well with many conservatives. So, if you've been voting for Republicans since 1980, we won't get along. Socially, I'm a progressive and a humanist.
I'm not perfect, and don't claim to be. If you're looking for someone without faults or foibles, I suggest a pet rock.
About the one I'm looking for...
Not sure about commitments yet, but we'll see what happens. It would be nice to have a lot of common interests but I am open to new things, too. I'm not looking to be taken care of, I can do that myself, thanks. Care should be mutual. I'm looking for someone to talk with, share laughs, and maybe get into a spirited discussion from time to time. Someone who understands we all need "alone time." Togetherness is great, but sometimes solitude is better. I need time for my hobby; it's not a group activity. It's my therapy.
My atheism isn't going to change, so please don't preach. I wouldn't dream of turning someone away from their beliefs, and I expect others to respect mine. True morality rarely comes from religion alone.
I rarely drink alcohol of any kind, and I have no interest in daily drinkers. Alcoholism was a problem on both sides of my family. BTW, if you "just" drink a lot of beer, you're still a heavy drinker. Recreational drug users can move on, too.
Large, visible tattoos are a turn-off. Discreet ink is OK. Same goes for pieces of metal anywhere but your earlobes.
Relocation is an option for me, within limits.
Please: Be divorced or single. "Legally Separated" means "Still Married," and that's too complicated.
I'd just like to add...
I'm a pretty good cook, and grill all year. I'm not big into fast food, though I like Subway
I like a lot of different music, but C+W makes my ears bleed, and rap isn't even music. I like animals, but prefer cats. Dogs are OK, too. I've never had children, and I don't relate well to younger children.
And please, put up a RECENT picture. I'm really not interested in what you looked like 20 years ago. I think that's fair.
I don't hunt or fish, and I'm not interested in learning. As long as I can get food from a supermarket, I see no reason to kill it myself. I won't get into a debate about it. If it's something you enjoy, that's fine, just don't insist I come along. That goes for playing with guns, too.
I don't sleep in tents. My idea of "roughing it" is staying in a hotel that doesn't have HBO. And I won't help anyone rape the environment on an ATV, snow machine, or any other internal-combustion toys. Want to enjoy nature? Let's take a walk.
I also don't do motorcycles. If you must ride one, please wear a helmet.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A report shows new home sales in southern Nevada last year were much more robust than they were in 2012.
Las Vegas-based Home Builders Research counted more than 7,300 new homes sold in 2013, up 32 percent from the year earlier.
The statistics, cited by the Las Vegas Sun, found the median price of a new home reached nearly $299,000 in December, up 37 percent from a year ago.
Builders pulled almost 7,000 new home permits last year, which is up 18 percent from 2012.
Home Builders Research President Dennis Smith says 2013 will go down as an exceptional year for new home sales.
He predicts sales and permit activity in the first half of 2014 will be similar to what it was during the last half of 2013.

Barnett named professor of the year
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education have named the Lynch School of Education's G. Michael Barnett the 2012 Massachusetts Professor of the Year. The award recognizes excellence in teaching and mentoring.
Barnett, who joined Boston College in 2003 after earning a Ph.D. from Indiana University, specializes in urban science education. In October the National Science Foundation awarded him a $250,000 grant to expand the hydroponic gardening project he began two years ago as part of the Lynch School's College Bound mentoring program. The venture has so far created indoor vertical farms at six local schools, from Brighton's St. Columbkille (pre-K through 8) to Boston Latin, a public exam high school. Through the program, some 500 youths, assisted by undergraduate volunteers, grow and sell lettuce, bok choy, and other produce at local farmers' markets year-round, with attendant lessons in sustainability, engineering, and math, as well as the entrepreneurial experience. The ultimate goal, says Barnett, is "to get [children] excited enough about science that they want to go off to college."
Among Barnett's courses at the Heights is Living Earth II, subtitled "Science for Future Presidents" to lure the non-science major. "A lot of Boston College students end up in Washington, D.C.," he says. "I want them to know some science."
Barnett is the fourth Boston College professor to earn the state Professor of the Year distinction. Thomas F. Rattigan Professor Emeritus of English John Mahoney received the honor in 1989, economics professor Richard Tresch in 1996, and associate professor of education Audrey Friedman in 2009.

Sunny, a Mascot Bear Shot and Killed on Tahoe Beach
According to bear advocates, this bear has been in the area for years. They says the bear's name was Sunny and it was a mascot for the Bear League, a bear advocacy group in the Lake Tahoe area.
Mynews4.com & KRNV, July 29, 2012
A Placer County Sheriff's Deputy says a bear was found shot and killed on a beach in the Homewood area of Lake Tahoe, California. The Deputy told News 4 the investigation is now in the hands of the California Department of Fish and Game.
According to Placer County authorities, a person can obtain a permit to shoot and kill a bear. A permit can only be issued if there is a reason; if a bear is a problem bear or has done damage to property. If there was no permit, Placer County authorities say this would be considered illegal.

She's always too busy to hang out?
I met the girl at school about a year ago. We actually only started talking because her friend was real into me, so she took it upon herself too walk up and tell me. Anyways I wasn't interested in her friend but I was def intrested in the messenger. So that all got potrayed to her and her friend a little later. Okay so fast forward about 11 months ahead. The girl I liked admitted she liked me and asked if we were actually going to hang out. I'm like sure if your ever not doing something blah blah. (this was done over text) so anyways for the past two weeks I've asked if she can hang out.. Alot. But she always says she's to "busy". she does have tennis everyday except Sunday, but the last time I asked her to hang out (on Sunday the one days she's not busy) she didn't even respond. The other thing that gets me is if she's as busy as she says she is, why is she on Facebook 24/7?.. So what should I do, just drop it? I can't tell if she's just too shy to hang out or what..? Any help would be awesome I am about as confused as it gets.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I would just straight out ask her what the deal is. last time I went to tennis I definitely did not play 6 days a week, all day. Just ask her if she really wants to hang out and set a date. She may be shy and is trying to put it off. I would suggest asking face to face if you can... Whatever you do, good luck man =P
What Girls Said 1
I believe that this girl isn't interested in you. She is saying she is busy so she doesn't have to hang with you or deal with telling you she's not interested. OR! you can ask her when she would like to hang out, or ask her why she doesn't want to hang with you. if you ask her, then she will tell you, and you'll have your answer.
Then why would she say she was? And I have asked her, she said she does, just that she's busy. Besides she's the one that brought hanging out up.

'Health cover portability will improve industry'.CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , Apollo Munich Health Insurance, tells Sarbajeet K. Sen and Chandralekha Mukerji.
Stricter norms for standardisation of health insurance products can hurt innovation, Antony Jacob, CEO, Apollo Munich Health Insurance, tells Sarbajeet K. Sen and Chandralekha Mukerji.
How do you view the Irda's (Insurance Regulatory Authority Noun 1. regulatory authority - a governmental agency that regulates businesses in the public interest
regulatory agency
administrative body, administrative unit - a unit with administrative responsibilities of India) guidelines on portability of health insurance products which is to kick in on 1 July?
It's a customer-centric move as it will allow flexibility to the insured. The move will call for improved service requirements from all insurance players. On the other hand, it is expected to bring in new benchmarks in delivery mechanisms for the insurance players. The move would require certain changes in the processes followed by the insurance companies, but all regulatory requirements are paramount.
Would it benefit the insurance industry?
The move promises to be beneficial in the long run for the industry as well. Every player will have to abide by To stand to; to adhere; to maintain.
See also: Abide minimum service standards and requirements. Insurers need to follow their underwriting principles when accepting a proposal. Consumers should place a request to part with the insurer at least 45 days prior to the renewal date. This will enable the incumbent insurer to meet all underwriting guidelines before accepting a risk.
Do you think standardisation of products will be required to bring in full portability?
Every policy is unique and is guided by an underwriting principle. Terms and conditions, as well as coverage for pre-existing diseases and waiting periods for various diseases would be as per the applicable policy terms and conditions of a particular company. Hence, standardisation of products could be tough to achieve. Stricter norms for product standardisation can also become counter-productive for innovation.
The health insurance segment is the fastest growing among all general insurance business line. What are the trends you are seeing?
Though the health insurance industry has been growing at around 40% annually, Apollo Munich's growth so far this year has been over 100%. By March 2011, we hope to triple our premium income to Rs 330 crore n. 1. Ten millions; as, a crore of rupees (which is nearly $5,000,000) s>.
Noun 1. crore - the number that is represented as a one followed by 7 zeros; ten million over last year's Rs 100 crore.
What are the factors driving such growth?
It is a combination of factors. I feel that awareness on the need for health cover has increased considerably. We are also finding that the people who are covered by the group schemes with companies are also opting for an additional retail policy just in case they move away from their jobs, leave the groups or retire. People are also becoming conscious of the rising healthcare costs. Lifestyle changes are also impacting the health of a person, which is prompting people to look at health covers.
"The average age of our customers is coming down below 45 years, closer to 40."
Are you seeing any change in the age profile of your consumers?
In the past, the 45-plus were keen buyers of health insurance because they were more conscious of healthcare costs. But in the last 12 months or so, we do have quite a lot of people coming in who are under 45. The average age of our insured population is coming down below 45 years, closer to 40.
There has been increasing competition in the health space with life companies also offering health products. How do you see the emerging competition?
My understanding of the products rolled out by the life insurers is that most of them, if not all, are the benefit policies. So, it is a bullet payment on the happening of an event or the occurrence of a particular critical illness. You get a full lump-sum amount in one shot. I don't believe any of them are in the indemnity space where the insurer indemnifies customers for hospitalisation of any kind, not necessarily linked to a type of illness or a critical illness. If at all there are, they are very few.
However, it is possible that some of the life companies will also look at indemnity. So, I believe there will be competition from the life sector, from the general insurance sector and from stand-alone health insurers like us. I think India is going to see more companies bring out health insurance products and related services.
Companies are raising the maximum sum insured offered on their policies. How do you see the trend?

income bracket n → , particularly the high net worth individuals, may look at higher covers, maybe, Rs 10 lakh or higher.
I believe a right size of cover for this country is around Rs 5 lakh. It would not cover every case of hospitalisation, but I think it would cover a high percentage. If you want to play safe, I would suggest a cover of Rs 10 lakh, plus another Rs 10 lakh for critical illness. It is important to have higher offerings in your bouquet of products, but the demand for higher covers is still very limited.
What are the new products you are working on?
We are shortly going to come up with a unique top-up product. Though we have got approvals for it, it might not be the right time to talk about it. At the moment, we have a gap in our products. The entry age for senior citizens is restricted to 65. We want to allow every citizen of India to buy a policy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eric56 LG is a winner.. This is a great little TV that we got for the bedroom, for light viewing, but after seeing the screen and using it for a while, I'll absolutely be choosing LG when we go big for the den, and again for the RV. Over the years I've found LG products of various types to be of excellent quality and value, and I would happily recommend them to others. October 15, 2014

Best Uses
I wore this for the first time in 40 degree weather and it was warm during pre-race and moisture wicking during the run. It is very soft and fits close to the body. I ran 5 miles in it and did not feel any seams. I would buy more if they offered more colors.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A little about me...
Hello, first of all thanks for taking the time to read about me. I recently returned to Illinois after living in Oregon (the state not the town). Family is what brought me back and I am glad to be here though I truly miss the geography/climate of the Pacific Northwest. I am an honest, sincere, loyal person who is somewhat shy when it comes to talking about myself. I am finally divorced after a 6 year separation. Very happy to put that chapter of my life behind me. I am equally comfortable in a corporate boardroom or on a primitive camping trip. I am not a social butterfly, I am a private person so meeting new people is a challenge. I am a great conversationalist, love to read (presently enjoying Ken Follet's century trilogy), and am a news junkie. My music playlists include indy bands as well as classic rock and roll groups. I strongly believe that a true relationship has to be built on a solid foundation of friendship and mutual respect.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am seeking an intellectual equal who believes that reliability is a positive character trait. I also seek someone who tries to find the good in all they encounter. If you automatically go to what's wrong with things then I am definitely wrong for you. Life is too short to start from the negative. I am looking for the opportunity to develop an intimate relationship that is built on trust and friendship.
I'd just like to add...
I hope to find a man who enjoys building things together whether it's a home improvement project, a landscaping chore, housework, or dinner the key ingredient is togetherness. Mutual respect and a fundamental understanding that the best relationships are built with complimentary personalities not carbon copies of ourselves.
Please note that although the internet allows the world to become very small, I am not interested in striking up conversations with men who live far away. I don't believe that long distance is conducive to building a relationship. Thanks for your understanding.

I met this girl at my friends house in the hot tub. the whole night I saw she was giving signs like moving closer to me after every time she got up and came back, and feeling my body and commenting on it quite a bit. at the end of the night I gave her a kiss good-night. and she also took my hat so I would have to see her again.(she admitted this)but it seemed like she was being very aggressive and I want to make sure that I am moving fast enough and I want to know if I should make out the next night we go out.
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I agree with the comment before me. Obviously if she's the one making most of the moves, it's all good. Trust me, dominant girls like her have no problem when it comes to speaking their minds. If she's not into it, she'll be more than happy to let you know. But, until then, slowly take your physical relationship with her farther and farther until she decides to draw the line. But, if and when she does draw that line, back off. Not completely, but, stay within her comfort zone and whatever you do, DON'T keep trying after she draws the line. Just respect her enough to play by the rules.

Ya, aggressive girls are great. The best advice I can give is to steadily ramp things up. Steady, not slowly. You can attempt to start making out right away. If that goes will, proceed to feeling up. Over the clothes, then go for under the clothes. If that's all good, go for the digital penetration (that's fingering, for you noobs). If that seems to be a hit with her, ask her if she wants to "find a spot to lay down?". Or whatever wording you need, depending on your current location. Basically, you will have to come right out and ask her if she want to have sex at that point. Enjoy it. Do not ask yourself why this girl is going so fast. Do not ask yourself if this is going to hurt a chance at a long-term relationship. This girl is not concerned with that. Do not ask her either. If she is concerned about it, she will ask you. If she doesn't ask, don't ruin the mood.Ask after you're done getting as far as she'll let you.The key thing to remember is, you back off as soon as she starts showing signs of being uncomfortable during any of those advances. If you are making out, and you start feeling her on top of the clothing, and she moves your hand away, leave your hands off her. Don't force it. Try again next time. Next time. Not five minutes later.Either way, definitely attempt making out with her. If you're too much of A Nice Guy to make any further advances, you run the risk of her losing patience with you and finding some other guy to do whatever it is she intends to do with you.Good luck.
