For one of the largest retailers in the U.S., Target, it is recommended that consumers go to its official website to check for the nearest branch that has a Nintendo Switch in stock.
Before Switch broke Nintendo's sales records, GameCube had held that position since November 2001 when it sold over 660,000 units in its first month since launching.
The Nintendo Switch was released last month and it doesn't have any bundles that came with the console and a video game. Considering the kind of reception the Switch has enjoyed, it doesn't take a genius to figure that Nintendo is likely to continue banking on it by introducing refined versions of it in the future.
Despite the projected difficulties with porting Overwatch to the Nintendo Switch, Kaplan points out that it may not only be possible but that he is actually a huge fan of the Switch. The hybrid console is selling extremely well, so well in fact, it now counts as the fastest-selling Nintendo video game system ever. The console was launched on March 3, so it means that in 28 days, approximately 33,000 consoles were sold each day, on average, notes BI.

Last month Nintendo sold Switch units numbering more than 906,000 in the US, according to a press release issued by the company. Is it worth getting the Nintendo Switch?
For more on upcoming games for the system, check out IGN's Nintendo Switch wiki. The announced Nintendo Switch game line-up includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
A smaller, lighter Switch could be interesting, although if Nintendo chose to release such a unit, it would likely spell the end of the 3DS.
As indicated by data gathered by NPD Group, the Switch sold 906,000 units in North America inside the month it was offered for sale. According to Citigroup, building out a smaller version of the Switch could help attract younger users-kids, basically-who find the current Switch design a little too large for their hands.

Stephen Bittel's departure after less than a year on the job followed a story by the news website, Politico, on Thursday citing six female former Florida Democratic Party staffers and consultants who said he displayed inappropriate behavior.

text: Being that rare sports-fanatic-come-android-fanboy hybrid, the first search I did on the Market upon getting an Android device was for a sports app. I've tried all the freebies - SportsTap, while flawed and downright frustrating at times, is a must for its clean widget and somewhat-timely notifications. However, tts play-by-play is at times a joke. Let's jump in. The Widget: Thumbs Up The SportsTap widget offers a clean, up-to-date glance at your favorite teams. Coming from an iPhone 3G, widgets are brilliant - but only if they work right. In that regard, the ST widget performs flawlessly. Offering a quick look at your favorite teams' most recent games, current matches in progress, and upcoming events, it's find to hard something to complain about here. With a clean look that integrates nicely with the stock Android UI, it's a must-have for sports fan-droids and is miles ahead of offerings from LiveScores and Google's own Scoreboard, which glitched out frequently on my Android 2.1 device. The only thing I would like to see added in a future update is standings, which must be accessed inside the app. What is this, 2007? Widget: 5/5 Stars The Notifications: Thumbs Half-Heartedly Up SportsTap offers plentiful alert options Let me be clear: SportsTap offers the best and most versatile notification system on the Market right now. However, that's not saying much considering the competition either doesn't offer this function or fails at it hard. Score/point/goal alerts usually come within 5-10 minutes of the actual event in the real world, which is fine or not-so-good depending on your need. It's great if you just want to be kept in the loop on your favorite teams' happenings while you're out and about, but it can be embarrassing to text your brother "BOOYAH K-MO GRAND SLAM!!!!!" an hour after it happens. Not that I would know. Cough. Anyway, the options are plenty and varied, offering alerts at specified intervals, game start/end, and at events (goals, etc.). One annoying bug was that some notifications seemed to arrive more than once - especially game end alerts. Yes, I know, SportsTap, we lost to Oakland 10-1. No need to rub it in. Hopefully this will be fixed in future releases. Notifications: 3/5 Stars The Play-By-Play: Thumbs Down The play-by-play, while full-featured, is riddled with bugs. Depending on your need for this feature, it could be the make-it-or-break-it for SportsTap. While it offers arguably the most robust set of stats and play descriptions (and handily bests Google Scoreboard's laughable "effort"), I consistently experienced bugginess and painful delays in receiving the latest plays. My personal favorite was "At Bat: Bobby Abreu" and "Bobby Abreu grounded out" being locked on the screen for 10+ minutes during a game. I also saw various hiccups including the wrong score being displayed, missed goals and missing play descriptions, and delays ranging from 5-15 minutes to refresh to the current score. Again, the features are the best, but it needs to work right before I can award it a corresponding score. The Play-By-Play: 2/5 Stars Summary: Almost a Perfect Game SportsTap is a must for any sports fan-droid. Not only are its notifications the best, but its widget is clean, simple, informative, and reliable. If an upcoming update would fix the broken play-by-play, I could wholeheartedly recommend it as an all-in-one sports information hub. Until then, keep it for its great widget and excellent stats within the app. Overall: 3.5 Stars -Kyle Mann

That 'football is gay' is not news for gay blogs and web sites. 'Gay moments' in football caught by photographers are being widely posted there (example above). They are pretty entertaining, and at times – pretty hot too.
It is, however, unusual and lovely to see Armenian Aravot daily publishing a series of such photos under pretty revealing heading "Sex at football" ;). Check out Aravot here. Do not forget reading sub-headings to each picture. You would be amused ;)

Falcon 9 launch: Rocket EXPLODES just minutes into space mission as £40m goes up in flames
A US space mission ended in disaster when a rocket EXPLODED just minutes into its $61million (£38.7m) launch.
The Falcon 9, designed by SpaceX, blew up two minutes into its ascent towards the International Space Station.
On Twitter, the manufacturers of the unmanned craft announced: "The vehicle experienced an anomaly on ascent. Team is investigating."
Meanwhile, NASA posted online: "Something went wrong with the launch.
"The range confirmed that the vehicle has broken up.
"It is not clear what happened or at what point the vehicle failed."
Elon Musc, chief executive officer at SpaceX, said the craft experienced a problem shortly before its first stage shutdown.
According to the SpaceX website, the Falcon 9 has nine engines with a burn time of 180 seconds in its first stage of flight.
The 68-metre rocket and attached spacecraft was designed to take humans into space.
NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida hosted the launch.
SpaceX has a $1.6billion contract with NASA to fly resupply missions to the International Space Station.

Saturday, February 11th
This feast recalls the 18 appearances of the Blessed Virgin Maryto a young French girl, Bernadette Soubirous, from February 11 to July 16, 1858, near a grotto at Lourdes, France. Bernadette did not know the identity of "the beautiful lady in white" and asked who she was. Mary said, "I am the Immaculate Conception," the title Pope Pius IX had defined as dogma four years earlier. In 1890, Pope Leo XIII allowed the local Diocese of Tarbes to celebrate this feast; Pope Pius X made it a universal feast in 1907.
Lourdes is perhaps the most famous Marian shrine in Western Europe, where many go to invoke God's healing grace through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Every one of your books has been such an inspiration and wise wide, I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!! so grateful 💕
"Was just okay"
There was nothing significant about this book that was worth buying. But still a decent read. The book just talks about improving yourself before you meet a man. It does not help any ways to struggle kids and dating
she just suggest babysitting when you go out on dates. She also implies that you should go on as many dates as possible. I think that's very difficult for a single mom.

Research Blog #7: My Case
My case is how lonely the first-generation college world is. Evidence shows that social integration is completely beneficial for for college students. However, survival in college for first-generation college students relies heavily on the integrating experience. Therefore, it is vital for these students. Many of these students are not aware importance of integration, lack the skills to integrate, do not have time integrate, and do not share the experiences of the people they are expected to integrate with.
Research Blog #6: Visual
I want to emphasize the importance of social integration on both sides. Institutions should work to create networking systems like this one. It is also the responsibility of the students to be part and get involved in these networks.
Tuesday, October 28, 2014
Literature Review #4:
The article criticizes the integration process between races. Even though it doesn't focus solely on the socialization of first-generation students, it does make a point that there is a lack of cooperation on both sides to "mingle." According to Ritger, the increasing problem is because people have preconceived notions and stereotypes they hold against certain groups of people. However, this is a institutional problem as well as an individual problem. Ritger says, "increasing the number of minority students could be part of the solution to ending racial stereotypes on campus." This means the institutions should work on incorporating different types of people. Also, people should put themselves in clubs and organizations that make them branch out. '"There are many members of Notre Dame's faculty and administration that are committed to these goals, but the real power of the movement lies with the students.'"
|Clara Ritger
There is also a point that Ritger makes. She says that we have taught people to "tolerate" and not integrate. "We have this national attitude that you should accept your neighbor's black kid, but you wouldn't want your neighbor's black kid to date your white daughter.'"
Privatization increases the chances of making schools very narrow. Certain people get in and certain people do not. Certain people get opportunity and others don't. However, the idea of integrating is also a private problem. There is always an increasing demand for people to socialize. That is not only responsibility of the university but also of the person.

Research Blog #4 and #5
The Lonely World of a First-Generation College Kid
This research paper focuses on the importance of social integration for first-generation college students. It is important to understand that social integration is vital for every student's college experience and success. However, research proves that it has an even better effect on first-generation college students.
However, the issue is that privatization of college has made college success an individual problem rather than an institutional one. The issue then is defining the roles of college institutions in creating networks and support systems, and these first generation college students in taking advantage of the opportunities provided to them.
Research Questions:
How does the privatization of college affect social integration for first-generation college students? Whose responsibility is it to fix the problems that are brought to these students? Is social integration an institutional or an individual phenomenon?
Theoretical Frame Approach:
I want to focus my argument on three aspects of the first-generation college life. The first part of my argument would centered on "Social integration." This is centered around Ernest Pascarella's "First-Generation College Students: Additional Evidence On College Experiences And Outcomes." He makes the argument that first-generation students must value the idea of social integration. In his research, he provided evidence, as to why students should take advantage of getting involved. However, Vincent Tinto and Jennifer Engle make an argument of how social integration is a systemic problem. They conclude that social integration is beneficial for students but universities should take the responsibility of providing programs and environments where integration is encouraged.
The other argument would be how synonymous first-generation, minority, and working-class students are. In Mark Rubin's "Social class differences in social integration among students in higher education: A meta-analysis and recommendations for future research.." he emphasizes that first Generation college students are working-class students. He emphasizes that there is a need for them to work because they lack the resources needed to start and finish college. Why is that? This comes down to the privatization of college institutions. The emphasis on working, makes it harder for students to engage in social activities. The harder it is to engage, the less like students are able to graduate or become successful post-graduation.
Lastly, I would like to emphasize what social integration or lack thereof does for first-generation students. Who should carry the burden of becoming more involved? In the USA Today article, "Why racial integration is still a problem on today's campus," Clara Ritger talks about the strain on minorities to venture out into clubs and activities that do not necessarily involve them. She also talks about how integration itself is something that must be taught at home. How much should a family do, first-generation or not, to enhance their child's integrating experience?
Research Plan:
My plan is to connect privatization to the graduation rates of first-generation college students. Because of privatization, students that are from an impoverished background are more likely to take on a job. They are afraid of the "Red" and often feel like they must face it themselves. The emphasis of working to avoid being in the red, makes little time to get out and be social. Therefore, privatization deprives first-generation students from the integrating experience.

Literature Review #3: Social Integration for First Generation Students
This book focuses on the how first-generation college students are faced with not only academic and social challenges, but also financial constraints they face. While Rubin, in my previous post, automatically assumes that first-generation students are working class students, Tinto and Engle focus on how most first generation students are challenged financially.
|Dr. Jennifer Engle
|Dr, Vincent Tinto
The book proposed that students are likely not only to work but also live off campus, therefore they are unable to engage socially and interact with peers. While they talk address these problems, they suggest things that could help fix the problem. They address that there is an institutional problem involved. There is also an institutional solution.
Due largely to the lack of resources low-income, first generation are more likely to live and work off-campus and to take classes part-time while working full-time, which limits the amount of time they spend on campus. (3)
Loans can increase persistence for first-generation students; however, they also found that even low levels of accumulated debt load can significantly decrease persistence among this population. This suggests that first-generation students are highly debt averse and may choose to work rather than take out loans to pay for education. (21)
It is well-established that student academic and social engagement is central to student success. It follows, however, that institutions must provide professional development for faculty and staff to... learn how to effectively use [pedagogical] skills with at-risk populations... first-generation students. (26)
The privatization of colleges is indirectly addressed when Tinto and Engle talk about loans. They also talk about how privatization has made paying for college among first generation students an individual problem. They address, however, how the problem is actually an institutional one. While it congratulates students for taking on work and load and accepting the loan challenge, it says that the institution cannot put the burden on just the individual. They say that the institution must provide networks and organizations for development and support for these students. This the only way to fix the problem among first generation college students.

Literature Review #2: Social Class and Social Integration
|Dr. Mark Rubin
Dr. Mark Rubin teaches at the University of Newcastle, Australia, in their School of Psychology. A lot of his work focuses on the social processes and problems. He looks at how the collective or specific group is affected by various instances. He deals with things like socialization, social identity, social integration, and even social exclusion.
The journal stresses that first-generation students are more likely to be working-class students. It stresses that students that are first generation tend to work their way through college. Either they feel obliged to pay loans as they go, or they feel as though their families cannot afford the additional fees that come along with attending college. Because of this stress on being working-class students, there are generally three things that impede working-class students' college success.
Working-class students are less likely to receive social support for their higher education studies from their family and hometown friends.
Working-class students are less likely to receive informational support from their parents because their parents do not usually have any personal experience of the higher education system.
Working-class students are less likely to have access to higher education norms and role models in their families.
The privatization of college, has increased the pressure on first-generation students to pick up jobs while schooling. That in itself has a trickle down effect and prevents students from engaging in activities at school. Therefore, there is less time and opportunity for first generation students to engage in student life. Privatization of colleges increases the stress of paying off loans as soon as possible,

Research Blog #3: Privitization for the First Generation College Student
Privatization emphasizes the individual reform and does nothing to change the system. It stresses the individual over the fact that system need reform. In order to help first-generation college students to network and integrate socially systems must be put in place to encourage such behavior. Therefore privatization only hinders and slows the process of social integration for first-generation college students.In Ken Ilgunas's Walden on Wheels he focuses on how he had to make sacrifices to accommodate the post-college life. "To live in harmony with our own particular needs and desires, I knew I had to test ideologies, not follow them, I told myself that it was okay to want things, if I had a money, to buy things," (282). The system didn't change so he forced to change his lifestyle make things work.

Hi, I'm Ashley Lampkin, sister of Alyssa Lampkin; I am online trying to find out this same information.
My grandfather (Robert E. Lampkin) was adopted by
Mr. & Mrs. Dewey O. Lampkin.
Adopted mother later re-married as her name,Mrs. George W. Lauersen,is stated in a wedding announcement (a newspaper clipping) for my grandfather, Robert Edward Lampkin and my grandmother, Delia Louise Hatley who wed in San Antonio, TX.
From what I gathered most of the Lampkin(s) have resided in San Antonio, TX...my father, his dad, my uncle...so I will continue my search on the family history. Thanks

Will Iowa matter next year?
Iowa might be important enough to kill off some candidacies, but it may well not have the kingmaker role that it has claimed in the past. That would be a blessing. There is no reason that a state as unrepresentative as Iowa should have such a hold on our nation's politics. And its influence on ethanol policy is so pernicious. That is why it would be a blessing if Pawlenty did well in Iowa. It would be a very good thing if he demonstrated that a candidate could oppose ethanol subsidies in Iowa and still do well there.

Particularly since Iowa has become a more liberal state in recent years. It becomes more like picking a Republican candidate based on what New York or California prefers. No matter what those two states like, it will not result in a Republican winning there.
- Opus said...
"There is no reason that a state as unrepresentative as Iowa should have such a hold on our nation's politics"
A statement made by someone who obviously has no clue about Iowa and a borderline bigoted statment.
Being "unrepresentative", I'd like the author's description of what exactly she means by that remark.
- Pat Patterson said...
Well probably the simplest factor is that it is almost 97% white and still uses a caucus system where in some precincts people from other precincts can be bused in and vote for their candidate.
- Opus said...
The percentage of men,women is equal or close enough to the national numbers. The percentage of different age groups matches the national numbers. They have a higher rate of home ownership and more highschool graduates than the national average.
Which leaves us with race. Iowa is 89% non-hispanic white, the national break down is 65%. Those numbers aren't that far apart. Iowa is representative, since your complaint is too many white people,then what should the per centage be? Can we then use the argument that other states have too many blacks,hispanics or asians without being called racist?
- Pat Patterson said...
The latest figures available have the white population at 96%+ while the population percentage of blacks is actually going down but is currently at 2.6%. So yes I would say demographically and economically Iowa is unrepresentative of the rest of the country and just as much so as say California or Maxine Waters Congressional District. While it may have more home owners its percapita income levels are not that far off the poorest states in the South.
You were the one arguing that Iowa was indeed representative of the country but it obviously is in the bottom tier both interms of diversity and income but the important distinction is that a few thousand highly motivated party activists gather and then claim to speak for the rest of the state. This is more reminiscent of an online poll being taken seriously when if you vote you can only vote once a day.

A staple of film since the beginning of the action genre has churned out many classics over the years. From space-faring epics like Star Wars to secret agent thrillers like The Bourne series, it seems like the genre has something for everyone. Now there are dozens of movies like Kill Bill, Terminator and Die Hard that come up when discussing the best ever. But what about the other movies? The non-Mad Maxes of the world that often get overlooked?
They are the films that are never brought up for one reason or another. Whether it went up against a bigger movie, came out at the wrong time or just falls between the cracks, these underrated gems just aren't mentioned. That's why I am going to go over 10 Underrated Action Movies and give them their just due.
10. Forgotten Superhero Film: Blade II
While the original Blade is more remembered (a lot of that having to do with the opening scene, see below) I would argue that its sequel is the superior film. Directed by Guillermo del Toro, it has Blade team up with a group of vampires (including Ron Perlman and Donnie Yen) against a group of super vampires known as Reapers. As ridiculous as that sounds it works thanks to del Toro's excellent direction, fun action scenes and even some emotional stakes with Blade and vampire Nyssa. When you have Wesley Snipes straight up doing pro wrestling moves during a fight scene (a standing suplex to be specific) you know you have a winner!
Best Scene: The Underground Attack
Blade and the group of vampires head into the sewers to take out a nest of Reapers with UV-emitting grenades. What makes this stand out is how it's more than just an action scene. Not only is the action good, but the tensions within the group is handled perfectly. You never know if or when someone will turn on Blade. It's a fun scene and definitely a highlight of an already good movie.
9. Direct To Video Classic: Ninja 2: Shadow Of A Tear
It's easy to dismiss direct to video as the land of Steven Segal sequels and movies starring pro wrestlers. In case you don't know there is actually a pretty great action scene at the moment. Case in point, Ninja 2: Shadow of a Tear. Starring Scott Adkins, it's a modern take on the '80s ninja movie with Casey (Adkins) needing to avenge his dead wife. What it lacks in originality it makes up for in stellar direction. His fourth film with Adkins, director Isaac Florentine shows a good understanding of action by having minimum cuts, good martial artists performing and capturing the action effectively. Never letting the limitations of the direct to video market effect it, Ninja 2 is just as good as its big screen competition.
Best Scene: Casey vs. Nakabara
Seeking revenge, Casey and Nakabara engage in some beautifully choreographed martial arts action that includes everything from hand-to-hand combat to old-school weapons. Even more impressively is how seamless the transition between the two styles is. It's the perfect capper to any throwback-style ninja movie.
8. Gerard Butler Proves He Is More Than Just King Leonidas In Law Abiding Citizen
It's easy to overlook Gerard Butler as an action star. Gaining fame with 300, he is mostly relegated to fun schlockier fare like London Has Fallen and Gods of Egypt nowadays. Before this though he starred in the often overlooked Law Abiding Citizen. A standard thriller on its surface, Law Abiding Citizen mixes an absurd plot and a nihilistic streak to make something that is oddly fun. Part Saw and part Silence of the Lambs 2009's Law Abiding Citizen is the rare vigilante movie that strives to be more than just another Death Wish clone, and is all the better for it.
Best Scene: Race Against Time
A life is on the line when Nick's (Butler) demands for nice meal in exchange for information are delayed by a disgruntled warden. Director F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) does a great job ratcheting up the tension cutting between Nick's calm and the scrambling search team. The scene is exactly what's need to show how Nick is not only brutal but also a cunning villain worthy of a Bond movie.
7. The Living Bugs Bunny Cartoon: Shoot 'Em Up
When it comes to action movies very few go over-the-top and do it right. Either they don't live up to the hype or they peak too early. Shoot 'Em Up, on the other hand, rides the fine line where it is ridiculous but not overbearing or feels like it is trying too hard. It wasn't until years later when I read a Remy Carreiro article and he pointed out why it is a giant cartoon. Instead of following normal action movie conventions it uses cartoon in logic and pacing. To paraphrase Remy, its Looney Tunes mixed with John Woo. Never taking itself it too seriously, it is a beautifully shot and a delightful bloody homage to childhood cartoons.
Best Scene: Free Fall Fight
Shoot 'Em Up is full of ridiculous gun fights from shots being fired during a sex scene to gunfire being exchanged while a woman gives birth. The best just might be one of the last shootouts of the movie though. Being held hostage by Hertz (a villainous Paul Giamatti) Mr. Smith's (Clive Owen) only means of escape is taking a parachute and jumping out of a plane. What proceeds is a mid-air gun fight that no other movie has matched. It's crazy, over-the-top and everything I love about Shoot 'Em Up.
6. One Of Marvel's First Movies The Punisher
While Jon Bernthal's is considered the definitive version of The Punisher for some he is hardly the first person to play the antihero. With movies in 2004 and 2008 it was actually Dolph Lundgren in 1989 to first portray Frank Castle. Considered by critics to be a generic '80s action movie, it's actually one of the more accurate comic book movies when it comes to its tone. Lundgren stars as Frank Castle and is waging his one-man war on crime. With the mob weakened by his efforts the Yakuza come in to fill the power vacuum with a seemingly endless ninjas. While the Punisher's origin is changed a bit (including the lack of skull logo on his chest) the whole thing feels like the '80s Mike Zeck-era version on the character. If you're a fan of pre-Ennis Punisher or '80s action in general The Punisher is worth tracking down.
Best Scene: Dojo Ambush
Teaming with an unlikely ally The Punisher has a shootout at the top of a skyscraper. Greeted by a group of samurai the two quickly dispatch the group before they can even unsheathe their swords. Making their way through the maze-like floor they take down henchmen easily through the paper walls. It's the perfect encapsulation of the movie as a whole.
5. Paul Walker's Best Movie Running Scared
While he became a big star with the Fast & Furious franchise Paul Walker's best action movie has nothing to do with car racing or Vin Diesel. Directed by Wayne Kramer, Running Scared stars Walker as Joey, a low-level mobster searching for a missing gun one treacherous night. What could have been a typical gangster movie is turned into this weird gangland-fairy tale thanks to Kramer's writing and the cinematography of Jim Whitaker. Despite its colorful palette the film has a gritty and stylish feel to it that elevates this trip through the darkest parts of New Jersey. It's a great, gripping movie and it's a shame Running Scared is just now gaining some traction.
Best Scene: Hockey Rink Shootout
Joey and the young Oleg meet boss Frankie at an empty hockey rink. Feeling betrayed, Frankie means to have the two killed before all hell breaks loose. The real star of this scene is cinematographer Jim Whitaker. Lit underneath black light, everything has an inverted color look except for the blood. It's a brutal, wonderfully shot scene that ties the whole movie together perfectly.
4. Walter Hill's Cult Classic Streets Of Fire
"A Rock & Roll Fable" Walter Hill's Streets of Fire stars Michael Paré as Tom Cody, a soldier of fortune looking for his girlfriend Ellen (Diane Lane) in a weird, time-displaced version of the '50s. With plans were for it to be the start of a trilogy and Hill's next big hit, it was expected to be huge. It flopped and it's easy to see why. A fairly average movie with OK action, a bare-bones story and some wooden acting, it just didn't capture the general audience. Maybe it's just the passing of time, but the film oddly works nowadays.
Fully embracing the "Rock & Roll Fable" concept, it mixes musical, action, drama and comedy elements better than it has any right to. While not technically a good movie it ends up being very fun. With a surprisingly good soundtrack and delightfully cheesy acting, Streets of Fire is the kind of unique, experimental craziness we just don't get anymore.
Best Scene: Bar Fight
Tom Cody is needs to rescue from a bar in an area called The Battery. This scene has it all, from explosions and bar fights to a leather-clad Willem Dafoe emerging from the fire. As much as this sounds like a fever dream it actually happens and Streets of Fire is all the better for it.
3. Salma Hayek's Grindhouse-esque Film Everly
With the popularity of single-location action like The Raid and Dredd I'm surprised how little buzz Everly has gotten. Starring Salma Hayek, she portrays a kidnapping victim who has to fight off hordes of killers in a single building. Despite its lower budget, director Joe Lynch keeps the tensions high with exciting action, unique set pieces and a little bit of grindhouse cinema insanity. With a commanding lead in Hayek and flashy direction from Lynch, it's a midnight-showing sensation waiting to happen.
Best Scene: Everly's Last Stand
Having faced a variety of gangs trying to get her and her mother assassinated, Everly has finally had enough. As a tactical team, she uses her wits to take out as many as she can, no matter how impossible it seems. What I like about this scene is how different it is. For the most part the film feels like a mix of exploitation and horror movies, all in director Joe Lynch's wheelhouse. What we get here is a thrilling and beautifully shot straight-up action scene. It would be a shame if Lynch doesn't get more work in the action genre.
2. Tony Scott's Disaster Film Unstoppable
Even though Denzel Washington's current output of old-man action movies can blend together at times one of the more unique entries is 2010's Unstoppable. Starring Washington and Chris Pine, the two are engineers who have to stop a speeding train. Playing like an old school disaster movie director Tony Scott elevates the film with his signature frenetic style. Even though it isn't the most creative of movies Unstoppable is a well-crafted movie making the most of its thrills.
Best Scene: Playing Chicken
On the same track as a runaway train, engineer Frank Barnes (Washington) and conductor Will Colson (Chris Pine) have to make it onto a repair in place track before the two trains collide. In all honesty this is a fairly basic scene, but it's Tony Scott's direction and expert handling of tension that make it the film's best scene.
1. The Classy Spy Movie Haywire
Despite critical acclaim and doing okay at the box office 2012's Haywire seems to have fallen into the ether. It's a shame because it holds up as a good spy thriller. Former MMA fighter Gina Carano stars as Mallory Kane, a black ops operative. Caught in the middle of a conspiracy, she has to travel around the world to expose it. What Carano lacks as an actress she makes up for by doing her own stunt work and convincingly playing a badass. A decent part of this is due to fight choreographer J.J. Perry. A fight coordinator for Warrior and The Expendables, he does a brilliant job of incorporating spontaneity and mixed martial arts into the fights. At no point does it feel out of place or forced like in some other films. Between the inspired choreography and Steven Soderbergh behind the lens, Haywire is a movie that really deserves rediscovering.
Best Scene: Betrayal
Returning to their hotel room an already suspicious Mallory (Carano) is attacked by her partner, MI6 agent Paul (Michael Fassbender). What proceeds is a vicious, no punches pulled fight between the two. Choreographer J.J. Perry is able to mix striking and grappling together in a way few can. All of which is shot by expert director Steven Soderbergh in clean, very focused shots. While other fights in the movie are good this is the perfect showcase for Gina Carano and her abilities.
The Debrief
Of course these are just a few underrated films in this beloved genre. No doubt there are enough to make several lists like this. I can only hope that these movies will get the recognition they deserve.

Mexican federal forces have arrested the leader of the notorious Zetas drug cartel, officials say.
Omar Trevino Morales, alias Z-42, was arrested in a pre-dawn raid in a suburb of the northern city of Monterrey, federal officials said.
The Mexican government had offered a 30 million peso (£1.3 million) reward for his capture on weapons and organised crime charges.
The suspect is the brother of Miguel Angel Trevino Morales, described as the most bloodthirsty leader of Mexico's most violent cartel.
Miguel Angel was arrested in July 2013, almost a year after marines killed the Zetas' other biggest leader, Heriberto Lazcano – known as El Lazca.

I began helping this agency over twenty years ago serving homeless men a meal on Sunday night. I joined the board ten years ago and have seen the mission serve men, women and children find housing, learn to get a job or to improve to a better job. They provide interim housing and services to aid the residents find permanent housing. They offer services in English and Spanish . They provide life skills training, health assessment and financial skills to help the resident become self sufficient .
Previous Stories
I have done volunteer work at the agency for homeless men, women and children. I started by providing Sunday night dinner when the cook was off. We were a team of three and cooked and served the residents. This was indeed an activity that made us feel that we were needed. We loved interacting with the residents and they told us how much they loved our meals.
A friendy and warm enviroment. A system that works. The participants are expected to follow house rules but are also made to feel part of a family. Not your average shelter. It encourages and assists the participants to become self suffient once again and gives them the life skills to maintain the knowledge learned at SJOM.
San Jose Obrero Mission is a non-profit organization that really helps the people in need. Not only by providing our men, women, and families with shelter and food but with so much more. SJOM provides programs like life skill and career classes so our men and women are equipped for the real world. SJOM is preparing each person to get back into society by helping them find a job and a place to live. As a volunteer coordinator I have seen the reward of helping out the families by taking care of the kids so mom can go and find a job or go to that job interview. Honestly, being a volunteer and serving the people in my community is the best job ever.
I have witnessed first hand the good this organization does for the community. They provide comprehensive services to the clients there, from life skills to job skills to meals. I was impressed at the lengths they go to to help the clients. From trying to hunt down documentation for benefits and I was so impressed by the quality of meals they served. The shelters are super clean and very safe. I was honored to volunteer there and feel they are such an asset to the community.
I have worked with the Executive Director of San Jose for years on various homeless initiatives. When Israel became the director of this amazing shelter in the Pilsen area in Chicago it was as if that corner of the neighborhood had been lifted up. Israel is a great leader and his staff is very caring and professional. The men and woman they serve have told me on more than one occasion how much they feel valued and supported. That means a lot for this particular community.

Seeing other people get the thing that you have wanted and tried so hard for years to get is something that I still have anger over. That one doesn't go away as fast, if at all. I really, really hope that the thyroid medications get worked out and you will be able to have your rainbow baby. The days where I thought that someone was pregnant or when they flat out announced it were the lowest of the lows. You are definitely in thoughts as you go through this.
Thank you *kiliki* for my beautiful siggy!

Latoya & Kester's Proposal! Charlotte, NC
Charlotte Helicopters - Reini Grauer
Photographer's Notes - What an amazing moment to be able to document! We were so excited when Kester called us up and told us the plan. We all met at David's Bridal in Northlake. Latoya was told to go into a dressing room and put on what was in the box that Kester had given her. She came out dressed in an off the shoulder floor length black gown. Still having no idea what was going on, she got into the limo Kester had waiting outside. We then drove to Monroe Regional Airport where there was a helicopter waiting for them. That's when Kester got down on one knee and proposed..
Opening the box from Tiffany's..
To top everything off, there was a harvest moon that night...it was beautiful!
What a perfect night! Congratulations Latoya & Kester! Thanks for letting us be a part of this amazing moment!

Back in 1990 when I started to play around with the techniques that later evolved into the women's awakening and empowerment process that we use at Awakening Women Institute, I did not really know how to be a woman in the world.
All the role models I saw around me seemed to be constricted in one way or another. The women in Norway, where I grew up, had thoroughly proven that they could "do it as good as men," but on the other hand it seemed like "doing it as good as men" only made women tense, unhappy and stressed.
In my early twenties I fell in love with meditation and a reality outside my own little boring mind. Through this passionate love affair, a place inside me revealed itself, a dimension of being that was peaceful, limitless and always present. From there my life changed dramatically, but there was still a deep underlying confusion around living in a woman's body: a body so alive, so deeply yearning and so ready to love. I struggled with how to be with my rich emotional world, when and how to set boundaries, and my relationships were basically a mess.
Eventually I realized that many of the techniques I had been studying were created for monastic circumstances where life is quite even and easygoing. And, more important, most of the practices were created by men, for men.
Life as I knew it was always full of change and movement, ups and downs. I realized that as long as I lived my life as a woman in the modern world, there would never be a time when I would have meditated enough, done enough therapy, tried enough techniques, simply been enough. There would never be a time when everything would be harmonious ever after.
How would I meet the ever changing swirling appearance of life? Would I close down in fear, armoring against the world, or relax and open to giving my gifts?
For this exploration a whole new approach would be needed, and this gave birth to what we today call the Feminine Leadership.
There is immense power and creativity unleashed when women not only prove that they can do it on mans' terms, but that they instead actively participate in defining the terms in a way that feels true and balanced.
In the Awakening Women Institute global programs we are defining and cultivating feminine leadership skills as powerful qualities and skill-sets that we as women bring into our world. Feminine Leadership is a sincere and deeply caring disposition to life, that is in no way defined or limited by a job description.
Leadership implies qualities of influence, qualities that effect how you relate to people around you, how you relate to you own creativity and vision, and how you relate, moment to moment, to you own emotions and thoughts.
Let us look a bit closer at four core principles of feminine leadership.
In the Awakening Women programs we encourage experiential exploration, rather than mere theoretical memorizing. In this way our understanding becomes integrated and embodied.
You will find powerful tools and practices along with each Feminine Principle so that you can begin implementing them into your life today.
The Feminine Base camp
The number one principle of feminine leadership, is to create your own Feminine Base Camp. This is where you nurture and replenish body and soul, before soaring up to the glorious peaks.
Remember the instruction from the stewardess on an airplane before taking off; "in case of emergency put the oxygen mask on yourself first before you put it on your child."
It is logical isn't?
If you don't have oxygen you will die, and you cannot take care of any body else. Nevertheless most of us women are deeply stuck in a collective habit of running around taking care of everybody else, until we stumble to bed wondering what happened to our visions and dreams, what happened to the thrill of just being alive?
Everything feels overwhelming, the hairdresser-wanna-be-shrink tells you that you are probably burned out, your husband calls you bitter and frigid, your kids wonders why you never smile, and you? You simply want to go to bed and never get up again.
As we cultivate this feminine leadership skill we realize that we cannot take care of anyone, or anything, unless our own inner well is filled up. In the same way we know, deep in our bones, that when our well is filled to the brim, we can indeed make miracles happen in the world.
We need to work through the old mental programming telling us that it is selfish to prioritize our own well-being. We make it our number one priority to take care of our selves.
In fact this is the most profound way you can serve the world. Rejuvenated, glowing and brimming with inspiration and strength we can give our gifts to the world, and keep giving, in a sustainable way.
For me the Women's Temple group is my feminine base camp. Here I connect with the wisdom of my body, the vibrant aliveness of my feeling world, and with the strength and support from my women's friends. Do you have some woman friends you can gather with?
Tools for living it
This practice we call The Goddess Rinse and it is especially perfect if you work in a very mental and masculine environment: it will remind you that you are indeed a woman and that you have a vibrantly alive body. During your day take a 3 minute Goddess bathroom break: sit or stand, put your hands on the top of your head, and slowly begin to stroke down your head and face and neck and down your body, all the way to the feet. Hang here for a few breaths with your upper body and head loose and heavy. Then move up the body again all the way to the head. Take a moment to feel the sensations in your body. Now you can move on with your day.
Connect with Higher Purpose
Why are you alive? What is truly important to you? What motivates you in the deepest sense?
The answers to these questions will guide you through the ups and downs of the creative process. When you connect with a purpose of service to something or someone outside yourself, you will no longer be a slave to your emotional roller-coaster: one day feeling utterly worthless, not wanting to get out of bed, another the ego getting so inflated that you are flying three feet off the ground. All this get less important when you are connected with a higher purpose, your "why." Your purpose will fill you with a burning urgency and it become impossible to keep postponing giving your gifts, waiting for that one magic day when you will no longer feel fear. Your passion to serve is so strong that you can't help but show up, ready or not.
Tools for living it
Don't worry about what form it will take. The "how to" will be guided by the "why."
When hearing me talk about finding one's life purpose, many women feel depleted and lost, thinking that all the other people have had miraculous revelations in form of a baritone voice from above, and that they were somewhere else that day. The truth is that your purpose is not a static destination in time, it is a process that always takes place right here, right now. It is a process similar to falling in love: you fall in love with what is truly important and you marry it. As in any marriage, you allow for evolution and growth; but you are committed for better or for worst. Take the step, today. Marry your deepest values, and begin to live as a true leader.
We Honor the Cyclic Nature of the Creative Process
I remember reading a quote from a giant motivational speaker, saying: "you have to improve yourself every single day!" I get exhausted just by reading those words…
The Feminine knows, in intimate ways, how nature moves in cycles. Even when it looks like nothing is happening, or no obvious improvement is taking place, she knows that important processes are unfolding.
In the fine-tuning of this leadership skill we learn to listen and honor the pauses: the silence. We know that everything has its own time and rhythm and when we learn to dance with this, it saves us a lot of struggle. You cannot force the seed to sprout before it is ready, but even in the winter time, deep underneath the earth, important growth is taking place.
In the same way when the time comes, and the big wave is rolling in, you want to be ready to jump on and surf it! We all know the pain of sitting on the beach procrastinating, watching the wave roll out without us…
Tools for living it
What cyclic phase are you currently in? To clarify this will save you from a whole lot of struggle. There are appropriate actions to take, or not to take, for each phase.
Let's use the phases of pregnancy and childbirth to understand this:
- If you have a sense of something you are called to do but you don't know yet what it is, you are in the conception phase and the right thing to do now is simply to wait. Spend time in silence, in nature perhaps, and open yourself for guidance. This phase is full of possibilities, nothing is clear yet, and that is exactly how it should be.
- If you vaguely know what you are called to do, but it has not yet taken form, you are pregnant. You don't know the gender yet, or how the baby will look, but it is clearly there. Your job now is to nurture yourself and to gather strength. Perhaps you want to prepare the nest before the birth. Patience is needed, remember you cannot push the baby out before it is ready!
- Maybe you already have an infant? You now know the gender, the name and you begin to get a sense of your baby's personality. Sleepless nights, exhaustion, and the thrill of the new are all parts of this phase, you have to be ready to give everything.
- The toddler needs even more attention as it is beginning to have a sense of will and creativity.
- As the child grows older you have some time now when all is needed from you is gentle steady maintenance and guidance.
- Then you hit the teenage years, which may be a time of obstacles and fierce resistance. Your persistence and guidance is now needed more than ever. Many give up in this phase.
- One day the child has grown up and is ready to live an independent life, this may be the time when you let your project go, and again open yourself to new horizons.
Compassion and Heart
The Dalai Lama says that the future of the world lies in the hands of women, because women are the teachers of compassion. It is true that compassion comes naturally to the feminine, but we have learned to view this quality as 'soft' and therefore not suitable when it comes to leadership in business or global interactions. The reality is that this quality is one of the most important keys to a new leadership for a new time. Women's natural concern for everybody's needs is profoundly valuable and effective in leading and empowering a team. It is obvious that people who feels empowered, seen and cared for will do a better job. Just imagine the possibilities as we bring this skill-set into international diplomacy.
One aspect of this leadership skill is to have enough spaciousness in yourself so that you can be truly present with another. This means that you can receive another without jumping into evaluation and reaction right away. We practice to "sit back in the saddle", and to really listen with an open heart.
Tools for living it
When you listen to another, really listen. Notice thoughts and feelings that arise in you without acting on them. There is an ancient Buddhist method that is helpful for this, It is called Atisha's Heart Meditation: Imagine that there is an open window into your heart, breath in and out through this window. When you notice thoughts, feelings or body sensation, imagine that they ride on the in-breath into the open window of the heart, and dissolve back into space. On the out-breath breathe out the quality of the heart (spacious, non judging, neutral, present). When you listen to another you can receive them through the open window of the heart. If you notice reactions in you, breath it all in and let it dissolve. This will help you be truly present with the other, and that is what we all long for; to be fully and utterly received and seen.
I want to end with these words from Clarissa Pinkola-Estes :
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these – to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.
Don't wait for the right job before you rise up and shine, you can live as a Feminine Leader right here, right now. Remember the world is a richer place because of you.

I actually regularly look to other bloggers or Youtubers for inspiration for everything from posts, to fashion, to general lifestyle. At the moment, some of my inspirations include LucyAndLydia, Tanya Burr and VelvetGhost (Gabby). I especially like the fact that Tanya Burr is so successful through her hard work and determination by starting at the bottom with her makeup career, and reaching the point she is now at.
I think it is a good thing to have idols and have things that inspire you to succeed in life, as it can make you a better person yourself. Think about your life and what has inspired you to live the way you do, and let me know in the comments.

A parts manufacturer has asked your team to propose an adapter design to interface between a General Performance Master Unit (Master Unit) and a General Performance Conditioning Module (Conditioning Module). The adapter will connect to a 9V supply that is accessible on the back of the Master Unit and supply 5V to the Conditioning Module. A general sketch of the desired adapter unit is shown in Figure 1. The Master Unit output voltage may be adjusted to exactly 9V (assume perfect voltage source). The Conditioning Module requires 5V ± 5%. The Conditioning Module consumes exactly 0.1W at 5V. An indicator light should be included to show that the adapter is functioning properly. The adapter must be implemented as a voltage divider with no active components. Design a device that meets the requirements above at the lowest cost (e.g. use a 10% over a 0.1% resistor if possible).

Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I
Dating from over forty years, doctoral preparation in the field of Economic Cybernetics and Quantitative Economics has a long and valuable tradition, recognized both nationally and internationally. Through their interesting themes and modern approaches, ever since the 70's, doctoral theses have been providing for the Economic Cybernetics field, scientific landmarks for the Quantitative Economics concerns from our country, and have given new perspectives outlining new directions for Romanian scientific research. Furthermore, these papers had considerable contribution in the development and improvement processes of the higher economic education level, and in the progress and raising performance of governance, management and production processes within various national economic sectors. Right from the start, specific doctoral activities for Economic Cybernetics had a pioneering and scientific audacity to research concerns in our country, with so much as in past communist regime, performing such activities involved high political risks and these were almost completely prohibited.
Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I includes valuable teachers and researchers, benefitting from vast and long experience in education and scientific research, and who achieved outstanding results.
The profile of doctoral training in Quantitative Economics and Economic Cybernetics field includes several modern specialty areas, with highly variable applicability, such as: Economic Cybernetics and Dynamic Systems; Game Theory and Negotiation; Decision Theory; Analysis and Simulation of Economic Processes; Quantitative Microeconomics and Quantitative Macroeconomics; Operational Research; Modeling and Optimization; Modeling, Evaluation and Analysis of Risk and Uncertainty; Economic Equilibrium Theory; Multidimensional Data Analysis; Data Mining; Statistical Learning; Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks.
Doctoral theses prepared within our school approach subjects of great scientific interest, are useful in economic theory and practice, and have a modern and novelty character. These subjects are based on interdisciplinarity, the use of advanced statistical and mathematical modeling tools and specialized software instruments, complying with the most important and urgent economy and society matters.
Doctoral training in the field of Economic Cybernetics and Quantitative Economics is rigorous, complex and modern, comparable and compatible with top scientific works developed in this field worldwide. It has an interdisciplinary character and teaches special skills for using the latest and most effective methods, techniques and tools for mathematical modeling and process optimization in economic and financial fields, and to use modern computing technology in order to solve specific numerical problems.
Given the nature and complexity of knowledge and skills ensured by the Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I training programs, specialists from within the doctoral school are well known, appreciated and targeted on the labor market from both Romania and abroad, in various fields of activity: governmental and non-governmental institutions; educational and research institutions; multinational companies; banks and financial institutions; consulting and financial evaluation entities; IT companies etc.
In the training process of Economic Cybernetics can take part graduates of higher education who want to specialize themselves in the cybernetic-economic modeling field, and the use of the latest methods, techniques and tools of analysis, simulation, prediction and decision making.

The admission process for the Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I is based on a methodology approved by the Senate of Academy of Economic, and consists of two parts: a language (English, French or German) competence exam (multiple choice exam); and a specialized exam, consisting of an interview regarding the research project proposed by the applicant and developed in accordance with the themes suggested by the PhD lead. The applicants must have a master diploma or equivalent one (the methodology is available at www.ase.ro/ase/admitere/).
The specializing process in the Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I is organized on the basis of the Doctoral School Regulation, approved by the Senate of Academy of Economic Studies. The PhD training process duration is of minimum three years and can be performed in budget financed form or in tax form (see: www.ase.ro/ase/management/Baza-legislativa/Doctorat).
The training program from the Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I is the third stage of university education, following the Bachelor and Master degrees. It is performed only in full time schedule and is based on advanced learning that includes a training program based on advanced university studies, and an individual research program. The former aims to enrich and improve scientific knowledge and skills of the PhD candidate, in order to provide both advanced skills acquisition and a high scientific level of the doctoral research program. This program cannot exceed three months, must be relevant to the topic of doctoral research subject and in accordance with recent themes worldwide. It includes special programs for advanced graduate studies organized by the doctoral schools, attendance of 3-5 Master level disciplines of research within the Academy of Economic Studies, and other educational and scientific activities established by the head of the PhD.
Currently, the Doctoral School of Economic Cybernetics and Statistics I includes the following teachers with mentoring rights within the specialization of Economic Cybernetics:
