Children's Participation: From tokenism to citizenship
A nation is democratic to the extent that its citizens are involved, particularly at the community level. The confidence and competence to be involved must be gradually acquired through practice. It is for this reason that there should be gradually increasing opportunities for children to participate in any aspiring democracy, and particularly in those nations already convinced that they are democratic. With the growth of children's rights we are beginning to see an increasing recognition of children's abilities to speak for themselves. Regrettably, while children's and youths' participation does occur in different degrees around the world, it is often exploitative or frivolous.

To help deal with the particular needs of children at a time of rapid political and economic change in central and eastern Europe, in 1990 the UNICEF Executive Board approved a special three-year effort of "transitional support". In response to specific requests for cooperation, UNICEF was authorized "to provide technical support to rethink policies for child survival, development and protection in the context of the new situations" and to support "data collection on the situation of children and women, analytical studies, technical workshops, information materials and other related activities".

moreThe description of quantum systems is fundamental to an understanding of many problems in chemistry and physics. This volume records a representative slection of the papers delivered at the second European Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics which was held at Jesus College, Oxford, April 6-9, 1997. The purpose of this international Workshop was to bring together chemists and physicists with a common interest--the quantum mechanical many-body problem--and to encourage collaboration and exchange of ideas on the fundamentals by promoting innovative theory and conceptual development rather than improvements in computatorial techniques and routine applications.

Sophia Loren is in early bloom in this 1954 comedy, which was released years later (bluntly dubbed) in the U.S. to capitalize on her international success. Sophia plays two roles: Cleopatra, of course, and Cleopatra's double, a slave girl who spends a night impersonating the queen of Egypt. Mugging through this double act is Alberto Sordi, as a visiting Roman bewitched by the queen's lookalike. Rubber-faced Sordi, an enormous star in Italy for decades, looked like a cross between Sid Caesar and Gene Wilder, and his antic personality was given a long leash. One's enjoyment of this brand of Italian comedy depends on a taste for this kind of busy slapstick, a tradition upheld in Italy by Roberto Benigni. The silliness is certainly unpretentious, and at 78 minutes it really can't wear out its welcome. And the 20-year-old Loren looks like she's ready to conquer Egypt, if not the world. --Robert Horton

State board backs revamped school districtsBy JOSH OGORMAN
Vermont Press Bureau | March 27,2014MONTPELIER A bill seeking to consolidate school districts has received the support of the State Board of Education, though not without a voice of dissent.
By a vote of 6-1 Tuesday, the State Board of Education voted to support H.883, a bill in the Vermont House that would abolish supervisory unions and consolidate the states nearly 300 school districts into a series of large expanded districts offering education from pre-kindergarten through grade 12.
The motion, made by student representative and board co-vice chairman Lachlan Francis and seconded by board member Mark Perrin, states the Vermont State Board of Education goes on record as strongly supporting H.883.
It continues: The Board believes it is time to modernize Vermonts educational governance system so that all Vermont students are provided equitable opportunity to prosper and thrive in all Vermont schools. The Board further commits to work with the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Education to fairly implement the new governance structure.
The bill which can be read online at goo.gl/AnPl0W would give school districts until July 1, 2017 to come up with consolidation plans that would first be subject to approval by the State Board Of Education and ultimately by the voters within the expanded district. Those districts that do not consolidate by that date would be subject to a statewide plan that would be created by a design team, with members appointed by the Senate, the House and Gov. Peter Shumlin.
The bill was passed Friday by the House Committee on Education and introduced on the House floor Tuesday, when it was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Stephan Morse, chairman of the State Board of Education, voted in favor of the motion to support the bill. As chairman, Morse typically does not cast a vote, but did so in this case.
I think its the most important piece of educational legislation we have seen in some time, Morse said. We must provide educational opportunities to all children statewide, and this is an essential change to our educational governance system.
The motion did not receive across-the-board support. Board member William Mathis, who alone voted against supporting the bill, spoke Wednesday of his opposition to the consolidation plan.
It replaces Democracy with bureaucracy, said Mathis, who was superintendent of the Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union for 27 years and is the managing director of the National Education Policy Center, which deals with policies surrounding school consolidation.
Among Mathis criticisms of the bill is the idea that local school boards will be abolished in favor of a single, district-wide board.
By eliminating school boards, you are eliminating local voice and local control, he said. You are taking power away from the school board and giving it to some distant entity.
The bill does include provisions to create advisory committees for each school, who would work with the local representative on the district-wide board. Mathis said these advisory committees are no substitute for school boards.
If you establish a group and you give them no authority, what good will it do? he said.
Mathis spoke in favor of the current supervisory union structure of school governance.
For an incredibly strange governance structure, its done a lot of good things, in terms of centralizing accounting, transportation and special education, Mathis said.
Vermont does very well by its students in terms of education, he said, and I would argue that it is not in spite of the governance structure, but because of it.

Miami • A retired police captain who killed a man after an argument over texting in a movie theater told detectives that he feared he was under attack when the victim hit him in the face with an unknown object, police records show. The object that witnesses saw was popcorn.
On Tuesday, a Florida judge denied bond for Curtis J. Reeves Jr., 71, who was charged with second-degree murder in a case that is likely to revolve around Florida's much-debated self-defense laws. Reeves faces life in prison if convicted.
He was arrested Monday afternoon after he shot Chad Oulson, 43, who had been sitting in front of him at a matinee in Wesley Chapel, about 20 miles north of Tampa. The dispute started during the previews when Oulson refused to stop texting.
"He was sitting there texting. It was making noise, and it was causing a problem for Curtis Reeves," Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said at a news conference. "Curtis Reeves asked him a few times to turn off his phone, and Chad decided not to."
Reeves left to report the issue to an employee. When he returned, Oulson turned around and asked Reeves whether he had gone to report him to the theater's management.
Reeves, who retired from the Tampa Police Department in 1993, gave an investigator this account: "The victim turned and stood up, striking him in the face with an unknown object," Detective Allen Proctor wrote in a police report. "The defendant advised that he removed the .380-semiautomatic handgun from his pants pocket, firing one round striking the victim, and that he was in fear of being attacked."
An off-duty deputy in the audience detained Reeves while nurses who had come to see "Lone Survivor" tried to save Oulson.
Oulson was struck in the chest by a single bullet, the sheriff's office said. The bullet also struck Oulson's wife in the hand.
Investigators later learned from witnesses that Oulson had tossed popcorn at Reeves. No punches were thrown, they said. The police dismissed the notion that Reeves was exercising his right to self-defense.
Florida's self-defense statute, known as the "stand your ground" law, removes a person's duty to retreat when they fear mortal danger. The police in another city in Central Florida, Sanford, cited the law as the reason no arrest was made the night neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot and killed a teenager in a fight in a gated community in 2012, a decision that prompted protests across the country. Zimmerman was acquitted in the high-profile shooting of Trayvon Martin last summer.

Calumet Warriors
Inside the Warriors
Last season: 1-10
Returning starters: 18 (9 offense, 9 defense)
Returning offensive leader
Noah Fowler, Sr., RB, 86 carries, 485 yards
Returning defensive leader
Noah Fowler, Sr., DE, 92 solos, 52 assists
Everybody's All-American
Noah Fowler, Sr., RB/DE: "Been in the program four years. Good family stock," coach Ivan Zimmer said. "He's a wrestler and I got him to come out for track to get a little quicker. He's interested in going to Ball State for football."
He's got next
Miguel Rodriguez, Jr., WR/DB: "He's got pretty good hands and runs quick routes," Zimmer said. "He doesn't have any fear."
The Times' breakdown
Calumet is 5-26 over the last three seasons and hasn't won a sectional game since 2007 but Zimmer remains optimistic with nine returning starters each way. An abundance of youth is no longer an excuse as in past seasons. "It's probably the most experienced we've had since 2007," Zimmer said. "This is not the same team from last year -- but the same kids. They're stronger, quicker and bigger." Leading the way will be two-way standout Fowler, who must stay healthy. Defense becomes a top priority after allowing 28 points or more in 10 games last fall. Fowler (144 tackles), DB Kyle Hubbard (4 INT) and DB Joshua Kielminski (65 tackles) are needed to plug up the leaks. "I truly believe they realize if they work hard, this season can be something special," Zimmer said.

Soy Garlic WingsSweet Potato Fries
My mom always told me that if I ever were to go to Hell, probably all the chickens I've eaten over the course of my life will be waiting for me to have their revenge. Yes, I love chicken. Worse, I'm addicted to Bon Chon.
When I was little, it all started with McNuggets, I just couldn't get enough of it (thank you Morgan Spurlock, that era's gone). But as time went by, the world of chicken evolved. Every Soccer Game (Koreans can go absolutely loco with chicken wings during World Cup season, just like the Super Bowl) and midnight cravings called for fried chicken and beer-at least in my house.
When I found Bon Chon in New York, I was overjoyed with hopes of continuing the tradition that I sorely missed. With multiple locations across Manhattan, I never have to reminisce those good old days in Seoul- I can just live it in New York.
Soy garlic chicken would definitely be my choice of last meal if I were on death row.

Panos Yiapanis - Photo: Inez and Vinoodh for Industrie
My flatmate brought home a copy of INDUSTRIE magazine last night and - no exaggeration - it's the best fashion magazine I've read in years. It hits the trifecta - superb design, interesting profiles and great writing. The layout is particularly impressive - it's no mean feat to put together a text-filled double page spread and make it appealing to read (narrow columns are key). Its subject is the fashion industry - not the trends or the latest must have items, not even the collections, but the people who make fashion what it is, the challenges the industry faces and the way forward. I'm yet to put it down.
My favourite quotes (from Tommy Ton, Panos Yiapanis, Sarah Mower, Marie-Amelie Sauve, Rick Owens and Natalie Massenet) below.
Jak and Jil's Tommy Ton on menswear:
"There's something inspiring about this idea of a uniform which is evident in the way that men dress themselves: a suit, a pair of pants, a shirt. Menswear is not as disposable as womenswear, it's more investment dressing... The challenging aspect about documenting menswear is the detail. I find that men are more drawn to detail, whether it's the collar, the cuff or the trimmings. I'm learning how to capture it, and I find my men's detail shots more inspiring on a style level than the pictures I take of women, which are more about a complete look."
Stylist Panos Yiapanis on how he sees the industry right now:
"I'm disappointed. I feel there's even more money involved now, and that seems to have created this unnecessary and tiresome environment. I just think everything is really safe and sterile at the moment. Certain publications I don't want to name have used this supposed crisis as a reason to not rock the boat. But I really think that there is a need for exciting and inspiring work right now. Because what we're peddling is not a necessity - you can make do without the eighth handbag. So unless you really excite a person to part with their money – and at this time it's even harder to do that unless you really excite them – then they're just not going to. Its not a case of tricking them into doing that – it's a case of creating something they will really cherish. If you're playing it safe and you're just putting campaigns there that look like catalogues, then it's not going to work. Everything looks like, "OK, here's everything we make." Remember the old Jil Sander campaigns with Guinevere with half her face cut off and no product? I was just starting to look at magazines then, and those are the first campaigns I can remember seeing; they created a feeling of mystery and excitement around the brand. Now there seems to be more emphasis on making sure you can see every stitch of the jacket and the shoes. I think it's naive and short-sighted. But that might just be my opinion. I don't know."
Sarah Mower on her ideal dinner party date:
"It would just be me and Martin Margiela. So I could thank him for all the clothes I've bought from him, tell him how much he's made me laugh and spend, and hand him a signed petition from all the dispossessed women and men I know who want him back!"
Stylist Marie-Amelie Sauve on the advantage of consulting:
"I was young and those clothes seemed very old-fashioned to me at the time. At that time I was like, 'Oh my God! That is so ugly!' I'd be on shoots and going, 'Bleurgh!' That was another part of my frustration [with styling]. Consulting allowed me to push designers to create clothes I'd want to photograph and even wear myself."
Rick Owens on finding the right personal trainer:
"Frankly the main qualifications were that they had to look like they knew what they were talking about, and be someone pleasant to hang out with every day."
Net-a-Porter's Natalie Massenet on designers who didn't get what she was trying to do:
"I think they just thought we were crazy. You'd go through an entire pitch and say, 'And then you can click and buy it from pictures and it's delivered anywhere in the world." And they'd listen and they'd nod and then afterwards they'd say, 'Just tell me one more thing: where is your store?' There was one brand in particular - I had this conversation with them three times over the course of a month. By then we were getting something like 3,000 new customers a month and we already had a pretty impressive lineup of some of the best brands. So I kind of lost my patience in the end. As a result, that brand, which now wants to be on the site, is probably never going to be on the site."

Sex, lies and Goa's massage parlours
What V. More (name changed), a tourist from Mumbai, was fantasizing about was soft, feminine hands kneading his shoulderblades and his back, slick with aromatic oil.
Instead, what the 27-year-old tourist, one of many thousand single visitors blinded by Goa's cheap booze, drugs and sunbathing white women, got were a few tight slaps and punches to the ear and stomach from a roughneck fraud massage parlour operator in Mapusa, a town located 15 km north of Panaji.
"We were hanging out on the beach when a young boy came to us and offered us a full massage for Rs.2,000. We bargained for Rs.1,500 per head. We were seven of us," More told IANS.
More and his friends perhaps thought they had lucked out on their Goa trip.
A promise of a "full massage" in Goa's coastal belt more often than not translates into a covert sexual proposition or at least a "happy ending" for the many groups of single male domestic tourists who form a large component in Goa's tourism arrival figure. The state attracted three million tourists last year alone.
More insists that it was only a massage and not sex that he was after.
But the shock he and his group got, when they actually reached the massage parlour, was one that could put them off random massage quests for some time.
"We were told to shell out more money. We refused because we had already paid Rs.1,500 each up front. When we refused they ordered this bouncer to come and threatened to beat us up," More said.
While the ignominy of initially striking a deal with a shady massage parlour would discourage most conned would-be patrons from complaining to the police, More and his friends approached the Mapusa police station with the help of a local contact.
Their complaint resulted in the arrest of one Savio D'Souza, who ran the massage parlour, under sections 384 (extortion) and 506 (threatening) of the Indian Penal Code.
Over the last couple of years, several groups of tourists, especially those cruising the famous Calangute beach stretch, have been duped by pimps, who first offer massage and sex services and then beat up the tourists after relieving them of their money. The police are rarely informed.
The image of Goa Tourism has already suffered a beating because of the proliferation of prostitution as well as illegal massage parlours here. The Goa government's efforts to register massage parlours with the health authorities a few years ago has not found many takers.
The increasing number of hoardings, posters and lurid classified ads in local newspapers indicate that massage parlours have, in fact, blossomed over time.
According to a report compiled by local NGO Arz, women from as many as 18 states across India are trafficked into Goa's sex industry, which also encompasses the many shady massage parlours used as a front by the prostitution mafia.
The facade of one such massage parlour visited by this correspondent had innocuous posters promising ayurvedic massages. Inside however, the decor wasn't as spic and span, with small plywood partitioned cubicles with a table each, giving the setup a sex sweat-shop-like appearance.
The pimp who led me to the parlour located in Porvorim, a capital suburb, quoted staggered prices for services.
The lowest for a massage was a middle of the range quote for a handshake - slang for a tug-job after a massage - and the top-end price was for full-blown intercourse.
The prices varied from Rs.500 to Rs.3,000.
"I provide clients to two parlours. We have northeastern girls, young Punjabis, smart college educated girls... But foreign masseuses will cost you double the amount," claimed the pimp, Rakesh, who also claims he's the first to introduce a "business innovation" to the industry in Goa - a "massage on wheels" service.
"Our hafta to the police depends on the size of the operation and how many women we have on the premises. I offer massage service in a Tempo Traveller (a premium high-roofed mini van) on the move. It was high class interiors. The police do not know about it," he said.
While Goa boasts of working towards becoming a family and lifestyle tourism destination, the state has in reality struggled to shake off its reputation of being India's top sex and narcotics tourism destination.
And considering the proliferation of fake massage parlours and prostitution rackets, Goa's infamy as a sex tourism destination could soon be in peril (pun intended).

A cutting-edge solar technology in California's Mojave Desert may have a bit too much cut. Wildlife officials say they've counted one bird being scorched to death every two minutes by intensely focused rays of light at the BrightSource Energy plant, considered the largest solar thermal power plant of its kind in the world.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System uses more than 300,000 mirrors the size of garage doors to focus the sun's power toward "power towers" as many as 40 stories tall, and can power as many as 140,000 homes. Google is one of three owners of the plant at Ivanpah Dry Lake, near the Nevada border.
Light beams from the $2.2 billion plant that opened in February are said to be so bright they dazzle pilots coming in and out of Los Angeles and Las Vegas, reports the AP.
The birds igniting in midair are thought to come in droves because they are following bugs that are attracted to the light.

There is no reason to change the playoff system. Yes, sometimes a wildcard team with a better record has to travel to a division winner with a poorer record but they won their division. What happens when you get a very strong division and the teams beat on each other? If the 49ers wanted a home game they should had beat Seattle. End of discussion!
@ Chris T:
Exactly. So when someone runs up a good record in a crappy division they should be rewarded? There's a purpose to divisions, and it undoubtedly cuts both ways. But the current system is fine.
"…A Wild Weekend of NFL Uncertainty…"
Perhaps for supporters of teams other than the Lions…
Our weekend will be lacking in Wild Uncertainty….
On the other hand, I'm surprised the NFL didn't make the entire NFL North stay home and stand in the corner all winter…
Go Pack…..Beat the 'Niners…!!!
Winning the Division should host a game. If the Niners wanted to host the playoff game, they should have won their division. It's that simple. A few years ago a 7-9 Seattle team hosted a game. Those are the rules, and they are actually quiet reasonable. Most of you readers don't realize how the schedules are put together. All the NFCN teams played the AFCN in interdivisional play. The NFCW played a different set of 4 teams. So they don't even play the same teams so just because they are 12-4 doesn't mean they played as tough of schedule. So leave the system the way it is. The Whiners need to win their division.
The NFL is becoming a joke. They try to be so PC that they will even promote Obamacare. Why would they step into politics? I have always thought that a sorry divisional winner like the Packers and Eagles (this year) shouldn't be entitled to a home game but now the NFL has to reward being sorry! Anyway the rules are starting to ruin the game. Too many penalties on hits and just about every pass could result in the referee calling a penalty on the receiver or defender. There are too many BS calls for roughing the passer. The defense just needs to start hitting the QB's in the knees. Then the NFL will put flags on the QB's.
Now they want to eliminate the kickoffs! I have played fantasy football for 25 years and I'm about to call it quits.
The playoff system will eventually change and it needs to. A division winner is guaranteed a playoff spot. and that's where it will end. Seeding will be done according to record. Teams will no longer be rewarded for playing in a weak division. The NFL is also looking to add more teams to the playoffs and this could be when the change occurs. Back before the NFL realignment in 2000 when there were only three divisions per conference there were 5 teams from each conference in the playoffs. This is when a team won the division they were not only guaranteed a home game they were also guaranteed a bye week. In the early '90s when a 3rd wildcard team was added bringing the total to 6 teams the 3rd seed division winner no longer received a bye week. The NFL changing the playoff system is nothing out of the ordinary and it will happen again. The arguement of "team x should have won their division" will switch to "team x should have won more games" which is the winning arguement.
A "handful of teams" face blackout? There are 4 games this weekend, three deadlines had to be extended to avoid blackouts.

The NBA's summer league is not a good way to form opinions on players, make predictions about them, or rule someone out. It's really just a chance for the players to get out and run and for the rookies to get their first taste of NBA action.
However, summer league is a good time to look for improvements from the non-rookies and get a sense of what a rookie could bring to the table for the upcoming season.
For example, there were tons of question marks surrounding Steven Adams after the Thunder selected him in the lottery, but right off the bat in summer league, his physicality, motor, and athleticism stood out. You knew he was going to be able to compete in the league.
Those are the type of things you can take away from summer league.
So, while it would be irrational to predict your Rookie of the Year or sleeper in summer league, there are things I will be looking for from a couple players on the Thunder's summer league roster as they will play five games in the Orlando league from July 5-11.

Tony Hall and the BBC Unveil Plans to Tackle Diversity0
Reposted from Broadcast
- £2.1m diversity fund
- Creation of independent diversity board
- Leadership and commissioning development schemes
- Fresh diversity targets
Tony Hall has set out his blueprint for boosting diversity at the BBC, including creating a £2.1m commissioning fund to help ensure the corporation "represents every family and community in the UK". The director general unveiled the package of measures in a speech at Elstree Studios on Friday, where he said "it's time for action" on diversity. It follows the issue being thrust to the forefront of the broadcasting agenda over the past 12 months.
As well as the £2.1m Diversity Creative Talent Fund, the BBC has created two leadership development programmes, introduced new staff diversity targets and an intern scheme. Hall will also create an independent board to keep the BBC's progress in check. He has stopped short of introducing Lenny Henry's proposal to ring-fence a percentage of the BBC's annual commissioning budget for programmes that hit black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) representation targets. The comedian will, however, be part of the BBC's Diversity Advisory Group, which also includes Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Asian Network's Nihal and footballer Jason Roberts. The panel of experts will monitor the broadcaster's progress and is to be chaired by Hall.
Diversity fund
Although not a quota, the £2.1m fund – around 0.1% of the BBC's £1.8bn TV budget – will address BAME portrayal on air. It will help support development of television projects across all genres, fast tracking ideas from diverse writers, talent and production staff. The funding will be re-prioritised from existing BBC budgets and be made available from September.
It is one of Danny Cohen's biggest contributions to Hall's diversity blueprint, and the director of television will also support a commissioner development programme, training six "commissioners of the future". Successful candidates will be paid to complete a 12-month placement, working in genres including comedy, drama and factual. This is in addition to a leadership development programme for another six BAME individuals. They will be offered experience of working at the top of the BBC, collaborating directly with the executive team, which includes Hall and strategy boss James Purnell.
"The ambition is for those selected to become senior leaders in the industry," the BBC said, adding that they will get training from the "respected" Clore Leadership Development Programme.
At the other end of the scale, the corporation will take on 20 BAME graduate trainee interns through the Creative Access Programme and plans to continue its work with the Stephen Lawrence Trust and the Mama Youth Project.
Hall's announcement included a commitment to improve BBC HR's approach to talent recruitment and management to ensure it is "best in class". The team, led by incoming HR director Valerie Hughes-D'Aeth, will help shepherd a raft of "stretching" new diversity targets. Over the next three years, the BBC wants on air BAME portrayal to increase from 10.4% to 15%. BBC News has also set targets in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leicester.
Off air, the BBC will aim to increase the proportion of its BAME senior management across television, radio and news divisions from the current level of 8.3% to 10% in 2017 and 15% in 2020. Its target of 14.2% across all staff will be unchanged. While BBC director general Hall admitted that results "won't be achieved overnight", he argued the blueprint "will make a tangible difference" and "help set the pace in the media industry". The BBC's progress will be reviewed "regularly" to ensure its record is "beyond reproach", he added.
"The BBC gets much right on diversity, but the simple fact is that we need to do more. I am not content for the BBC to be merely good or above average," Hall said. "It is something we have to get right. My aim is for the BBC to be the number one destination for talented people regardless of their background. It's time for action."
Simon Albury, former RTS boss and chair of the Campaign for Broadcasting Equality, said the package of measures is a "huge step forward", but questioned the size of the Diversity Creative Talent Fund. "If progress is slower than Tony Hall expects, this is an area where the Independent Diversity Action Group could look to see a significant increase," he said.

"I'm going to be doing some stuff for Newsnight," June tells me at the Ubuntu Education Fund's 15 Year Anniversary Gala dinner at the Roundhouse, Camden. "I'm not replacing Jeremy Paxman before the rumours start. I'm doing specials for them."
The 36-year-old former T4 presenter has moved back to Britain from America ahead of the role. "I got back to London six weeks ago," she explains. "I've gone from Sunday morning television to Newsnight, but you know we've all got to grow up, it's all highbrow now."

text: |In 1999, I was actually working at a well-liked adult vibrator retailer in Albuquerque. Twenty-four years of ages, I was a current educator from a Oregon institution of higher education where I had actually examined Anthropology as well as flung myself head-first into the eclectic and also substantially open to suggestions traditions of my followed urban area. Working at Great Vibrations, I was actually surrounded by sexuality, from sex anal toy to fellow personnals that were actually enlightened and also articulate about sex. The outlet possessed racks of different form of adult movie, available for rental and acquisition. After eight months, I had actually consumed a reasonable quantity of porn and also was actually utilized to referring to that with my clients and also coworkers. Searching back on that moment, I recollect monitoring pornography as well as assuming that I had one thing to give to that. With quite few exceptions, the porn I had actually observed experienced unfilled, simulated, and also not representative of my sexuality as well as the type of lovemaking I was possessing. I in all honesty felt that I could alter the motion pictures for the much better. Lots of ladies throw in the towel on adult porn after several of a feeling of alienation, revulsion, shortage of arousal, shame, or even any kind of mix of these feelings. In the huge majority of adult films, "certain women appearances are actually promoted: female actors typically possess long hair, are actually lean, frequently Caucasian, between their thirties and also teens, possess breast enhancement and also clothes higher heels and also a lot of cosmetics." This "appropriate" of femaleness as well as womanhood does not suit the vast scope of physiques and identities of "real" females, a disjuncture that bolsters femaless alienation from adult photos. It is not difficult, given this, to observe why a lot of girls, like myself, might not only not understand women in pornography however really feel that they fail comparative. Adding in physical body dysmorphia in order to all the other complicated crossways between ladies and x-rated material-- featuring preexisting suggestions about performing artist agency, choice, and also social humiliation-- the resulting knowledge can complicate a girls interaction with porno therefore concerning adversely impact her self-image. My involvement with adult porn was actually not one tested through humiliation. I recognized the ladies who I saw in the films and also had little bit of to no preconditioned judgments concerning all of them, however I would discover myself critiquing all of them as performers and also considering just what I might do in different ways and also a lot better. I had experienced porno in my individual way of life as a primarily favorable, satisfying, as well as liberating encounter. I intended to find that knowledge in the porno I was actually consuming. Like many female viewers, I had trouble connecting to the females in these clips and their sexual presentations. Their physical bodies looked different from mine, and they appeared to stand for a sex that was overseas in order to me, some of excessive womanliness: prone however hypersexual, sexually desiring however static, ready for any sort of sex act however without the motivation to create it take place. This seemed to be as if sex was actually taking place "to" these women as opposed to with them or due to their encouragements or selections. I really did not think of that the actresses loathed having lovemaking, however somewhat that they were actually conducting in a destination that prevented their private articulation. I wished to recognize what they seemed like when they had sex in their realities, and I wished to see that onscreen. Aside from mainstream adult, I was actually subjected to images of several of the heirs of feminist x-rated material suching as Annie Sprinkle as well as Nina Hartley. I checked out Nina Hartleys films as well as felt adoration for her honest and also certain means of referring to sex. I liked that she was mindful and entirely present of herself as well as her performance. The clips Nina, Annie, as well as others created represented a sexuality that levelled, sincere, and without self-disgust; they showcased gender that was actually fun as well as consensual. They possessed a sex-related agency that I located arousing. That was actually the first moment that I viewed lovemaking that resonated with me which I wished to imitate. Despite these clips though, I still possessed troubles with the physiques: the distinctions in between theirs and mine. I couldnt connect to the curvy type of body of Nina Hartley or Annie Sprinkle. At 48" as well as 134 pounds, I have been actually athletic as well as sinewy for many of my adult people lifestyle. My busts are actually little A cups, and my appeal is frequently more androgynous than girly. Like numerous girls, I experienced the concurrent intrigue as well as revulsion that may joined porn video checking out: of being concurrently mesmerized and repulsed by entertainers as they stand for stereotyped lady "aesthetics" and also "brilliance." While I was gradually building my personal suggestions regarding what porno ought to be actually, I discussed my thoughts with my sex-wise coworkers at Really good Vibrations. One colleague specifically, Sparkle Natasha Houston, was actually curious and regularly offered in my ideas on adult, as she had some pretty stimulating notions of her own. She talked about the kind of pornography she would like to make when I spoke pertaining to the kind of adult porn I wished to observe. She talked with eagerness regarding exactly what she believed was erotic and also sensual and exactly what her films might appear like. Her aspiration was to direct sex scenes that were "real," a term that we talked about a fair bit. I was actually had with her desire as well as with her interest yet additionally the fluidity of her ideas: ahead feeling, varied, and edgy, like mine. On a job break someday, I offhandedly mentioned that must her aspiration previously involved fulfillment, I would certainly star in her 1st film. I signified that, though I questioned that I might ever have to create good on such a guarantee. She left her job at the sex store right after that conversation. Over the program of the upcoming month, I merely read about her in passing coming from common buddies. I bought a phone call from Sparkle. As this appeared, during the course of that yr, she was actually working on materializing the porn clip empire that would inevitably alter my life. Check hardcore porn videos, cfnm porn videos, latina porn videos - friends saw good orgy there previous week. Be ready reach divadisick next week.

I think we're all discussing these things on three different threads.
I've read somewhere that Christina has sung the anthem many times during her rise to fame. I'm sure she knows the words. I think the real problem is that on the biggest stages, performers get so caught up in trying to embellish it (trying to copy Whitney Houston's performance from many years ago) that they get a little lost in the lines. She never stopped and she recovered well. I really don't think she forgot the words. I think she got lost in her embellishments. I've NEVER been a fan of overdoing the anthem. I think it deserves more respect than that. It's our national anthem, not a pop song or a jazz number.

Come out THIS FRIDAY, November 16th, in support of Papa John's Pizza. Their CEO said months ago that Obamacare would cause raised prices, laid off workers, and shortened shifts.
Many leftists are now shocked at this news, even though Papa John's and many other employers/businesses have had to take similar steps. It is quite clear that they simply do not understand how a business works.
It's alarmingly obvious that either John Schnatter doesn't know how a business works, or he hopes that his customers don't. According to Forbes (hardly a left-wing rag, is it?), complying with the Affordable Care Act will raise the operating expenses of Papa John's by less than 1%, leaving their profits almost entirely intact.
They're not going to lose money. They're not going to go broke. They're going to continue to make millions, minus between four tenths and eight tenths of a percent of the total they would otherwise have made.
These layoffs and shortened shifts aren't a result of "Obamacare". They're a political temper tantrum by millionaires who believe that not giving up less than a penny from a dollar is more important than taking care of the people whose existence makes their business work.
The fact that millionaires and billionaires think that everyone is ignorant of how businesses work and can't do maths says a lot about their arrogance and why they feel justified in engaging in class warfare like this.
They have always been able to profit by emotionally blackmailing the public while selling them food of dubious quality, made by people who could be in any state of health.
How is insisting that your food prep workers don't need healthcare not a PUBLIC HEALTH issue?

My news years resolution this year was to improve my skin I purchased a range of SKII products and have committed to using them daily for a few months. See my thoughts so far below.
First some background, my skin type is normal to combination, generally it's pretty good. My concerns are constant redness on my cheeks, many visible pores (black heads) on my nose which I have never been able to shift, every few weeks I get some white heads coming through on my forehead and chin area and general skin tone unevenness. In the past I have used all sorts of products most recently Clarins and Algologie but I have been thinking about SKII for some time now and decided it was time to give it a go!
I purchased the following products which I have now been using daily since Jan 1 Facial Treatment Essence, Skin Signature (day) moisturiser, Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, Facial Treatment Gentle Cleaner (tube) and the Facial Cleansing Gel (pot).
I bought the two cleaners as the sales assistant suggested I should use the Gel at night to remove make up and the Gentle cleaner in the morning as it's more gentle (and it smells really nice and rosey). However, I have not been using the tube cleaner recently as I dont like the way it feels on my skin my skin feels to 'squeaky clean' and a bit dry after using it (which is strange as its supposed to be the more gentle of the two). On the other hand I LOVE the Gel cleanser, which does not leave my skin with this feeling, it feels beautiful and silky on my skin so I've been using this day and night.
All other products have been great so far While I still have the same pores on my nose, my skin looked really great during week 2.
Now its week 3 and we've had a few really hot days in a row and I had some pimples come through on my forehead and chin.
Overall, I'm very happy with the range so far but am looking forward to continuing to monitor my skins progress over the next few weeks with the products. It is very expensive and I want to see some serious results if I'm going to purchase again.
I love searching this site for others thoughts and reviews if anyone is interested, I'll continue to post my progress with the range over the next few months!

i put 2 for my review product when i know i would not purchase it again but i don't hate it. I wanted to try this product as advert and reviews were all around about how wonderful SKII was. I have used it for 6 weeks, day and night after cleansing. I don't mind the gentle smell but besides that I did not see any effects to my skin. I felt it was like another toner , nothing obviously special but saying so, personally I never noticed anything good about toner, sometimes I could leave it out without noticing any differences. May be its just me, so good that it work for others.
I regret using this product. After using it for 2 months, my skin became very sensitive. I got breakout and I stopped this product. After that, whatever products I tried made my skin breakout. Now I'm using acne treatment from my doctor :(

If you can afford this product, I'd indulge in it! It's not a miracle worker, but I think it nicely evens out skin tone and texture, especially in the mornings when I'm a bit puffy and ruddy. It's just that extra "something that I can't quit put my finger on" when looking at my skin after. It seems healthier, glowy and smoother without being obvious. It feels like it's balancing out my skin's moisture as well without leaving any residue or filmy feeling. I will say that it seems most effective when you first start using it vs long term...I think your skin gets used to it and it's less effective, so I periodically take breaks from it and use other products like the toner or the serum. Pricey, but definitely an indulgence!
I recieved a sample from my friend.
I must say this product is amazing! It makes my skin clean and clear after each wash. The result is very noticeble!
Seeing all the beautiful faces on TV & magazines intrigued me to try this treatment essence. Unfortunately, it failed me terribly. Even after iaving a 2nd bottle another try... I'm truly disappointed. I dont see any improvement in my skin tone nor in the suppleness of my skin. My skin is still oily on the T-zone & dry on the cheeks.
NOPE, will never buy it again. The two bottle I bought was more than enough.
I used this for ficial mask the first three weeks I got it, and it did improved the skin tone, accelerated the healing process. Now I'm using it just as toner, and it works great.

I was a bit hesitant to try this, because of mixed reviews here. I am glad I did at last. I use this as a toner, or sometimes after toner, by patting this directly to my face. I absolutely love how my skin is instantly smooth and soft. It does hydrate my skin and sometimes when it's too hot I will skip moisturising. I've noticed that my skin is lighter and acne pigmentation (marks of the bygone acne) are not as visible anymore. Also it definately made my skin less oily, but not drying. I've been using it for 3 weeks and so far my skin has not broken out. I will update if anything happens.
I can honestly say that this product changed my life! When I hit my 30's, my skin and hair changed a lot. All of a sudden my drug store brands seemed useless.
A couple weeks after having my child, we moved to an extremely dry climate...and my face went crazy. I had terrible acne and nothing would help. I saw a dermatologist but 6 months after using perscription, the acne came back.
Years prior a friend gave me the signs treatment eye masks, and it was like a miracle....so I figured, why not!
With in days my skin cleared up and the natural glow I once had in my 20's came back. I was so happy that I purchased their skin signature cream, which was also great. I still get the occasional pre period pimple but now I only get 2 or 3 rather than 15...plus they are half the size. When I feel those coming on I also use the treatment mask and it really helps with the clear up time.
This line is expensive, but I have found it is worth every penny. Unless my body goes through another drastic change, I will never stop using this amazing line.
I am still 100% in love with the entire SK II line. I just wanted to share a website I discovered. beautykat.com has sample sizes for purchase. Given that this line is so expensive, it's a nice option to buy a smaller size to try out.

The facial treatment mask did made my skin look the best it ever has andvi was told that the this product is the same thing in essence form so I decided to give it a go.
I don't have sensitive skin. It's practically flawless beside the occasional pimple and I've never had any problem with it.
The first day I put this on my skin felt really itchy and irritated, but I'd heard about the 'purging' process and decided to persist. The irritation wasn't so bad after that, but the skin around my nose and mouth has become dry, red and bumpy. I haven't even noticed a great change to my skin like I did with the mask. After almost two weeks I think I'm going to give up and go back to the cellumination mask in treatment and the mask.
Disappointed :(
EDIT: It definately was this product that was casing the irritation. I don;t know what ingredient it could be. I've heard that the pitera yeast can cause irratations, but it can;t be that because it's in the cellumination aswell, which i use There are a few essence-related bumps/redness left, but my skin is looking nice again only a few days later :)

Stunning, private home -- amazing week!
We stayed at Villa Arboleda for a week over spring break -- it was my husband and my two daughters (age 5 and 6). The house is spectacular -- hands down one of the nicest homes I've ever rented on vacation. The kitchen and living areas are huge, modern, airy. The deck and pool areas are amazing -- super views, great pool, my husband and I sat outside every night watching the stars and listening to the beautiful insect sounds. The setting is amazing -- high up on the hill, remote but close enough to LT for a drop in to get groceries, etc. If there were any cons they are that the three downstairs bedrooms were a little far away for us with two younger kids. But those with older kids or a bunch of adults wouldn't even notice. Second, while I was thrilled to know that we were safe and secure, the constant presence of armed security guards who patrol the property was a little distracting. They were lovely people though, we kept sprite on hand for them after their monumental walk up hill -- but it sort of cut into the privacy aspect. But really just a small quibble. LT is amazing and I'm highly recommending it to people I know. The town is just far enough off the radar that you feel like you've discovered something new, but the grocery store is great, well stocked. The people are fantastic -- very helpful, warm, fun. This house is amazing -- when we return we will most certainly stay here. Justin and Jennifer were super helpful and accommodating, and their local manager, Noelia was lovely.
Excelente lugar. Amazing place
La propiedad se encuentra en excelentes condiciones. Un lugar acogedor, en contacto con la naturaleza, lleno de tranquilidad y seguridad. El restaurante me encanto, la comida fue exquisita, y las atenciones no quedaron fuera. Definitivamente regresare.

Planter Ideas: Thriller, Filler, and Spiller.
"Editors note: It's fun to hear our lead designer, Brooks, talk about décor he's designed. About the above Bombay® Luxembourg Planter he says: 'It was inspired by French planters, little planters with legs called cachepots. We wanted something elegant and used an animal, and a lion was regal and Bombay in a European way.'
"That's great but how does it do in a garden? We asked horticulturist and garden artisan Nancy Wallace to try it out. What she did yielded amazing insights into creating a stunning container garden. Thriller, filler, spiller… Take it away, Nancy!"

Bikes are awesome. From my house to the city center - 10-15 minutes. To work - a bit under 7km so that's less than half...
They forgot to mention that riding a bike is awesome and pure fun and feels great!
Car's are too convenient, but if you insist on the perks.
