Almost any web server can saturate its network link if its role is limited to serving statics.
Apache is rarely the first thing to fall down when a site exceed's capacity. When was the last time you went to a slashdot'ed site and exceeded the HTTP timeout? The vast majority of sites return a 500 (when the PHP/.NET/java middleware tips over) or a "MYSQL: Too Many Connections" when the DB tips over.
I'm not saying Apache is perfect and Nginx is horrible, just that you present them a manner neither deserves.

No city does brunch quite like New York, and there are so many amazing spots all around town for a great Sunday brunch. Here are five favourites to put on your must do list!
Reynard is the ground floor restaurant of the amazing Wythe hotel, serving a mix of American classics and bistro style French cooking (or the American take on it), nothing too fancy, yet nothing too plain. We recommend the grass fed burger, an American classic if there ever was one! A great spot to do in combination with the Brooklyn Flea in summers.
The Standard has become an established name in the hotel & restaurant business, with its second New York location recently opened in the East Village. Café Standard combines the charm of a colorful street café with the electricity of a downtown New York bar, complete with American style food, strong coffee and signature cocktails. The poached eggs are highly recommended!
The Roebling Tea Room is located in a former industrial space in Williamsburg. Just go up the steps and into the big dining room for brunch, lunch, dinner or -what's in a name?- tea! The restaurant is owned by former rock musician Syd Silver, and the food is by the hand of self-trained chef Dennis Spina. Both the space and the food you get on your plate have an eclectic and relaxed vibe, and the restaurant is a bright and pleasant space.
Schiller's is pretty well known for its drinks, but the place is great for food as well, including brunch!The atmosphere is lively, the tables are crowded and the burgers are simply great. On hot summer days, the big windows are opened and you can sit and watch people pass by. A favorite.
Step through the white and bright general store into the dark dining area of the restaurant, sit down and enjoy a nice mimosa with your brunch. This Brooklyn hotspot has been around for ten years now and in that time Marlow & Sons has become a respected restaurant with a farm to table attitude. The portion sizes could be bigger, but the food combinations are simply amazing and the salmon is highly recommended.

Writing an Alphanumeric Pager Server for Linux
The server is the workhorse of our operation. Servers process pager delivery requests (we'll call them jobs) and then deliver them via the IXO protocol over an available device.
Jobs consist of two very simple things: the profile to use and the message to send. How the server receives each job depends on how we want to structure it. I'll discuss two basic approaches here: TELNET-based and file-based servers. Each has advantages and disadvantages, and your choice of which to implement will depend largely on what sort of clients you want to support.
TELNET-based servers listen to a specific port on the host machine and use a simple protocol to send the profile and the message. A protocol such as:
should suffice (provided, of course, that the strings identifying protocols don't contain newlines).
For security reasons, such servers should require some sort of authentication before accepting a job for delivery. The type of authentication we should use will depend strongly on our particular security needs, and is beyond the scope of this article.
A file-based server, on the other hand, watches a specific directory on the host machine (pausing for a brief length of time, then scanning its contents) and reads each new file, creates a job for it, then processes it; the file can be deleted when the server no longer needs it. The format of this file need be no different from the protocol of the TELNET-based server:
As with TELNET-based servers, file-based servers need to consider security issues. The server would run as a specific group, and only programs which are part of that group may submit a job. When job files are created, they must be owned by the group and given group-writeable permissions (in a group-writeable directory), so that the server may delete files when it is done with them. An authentication scheme would also probably be useful here; at the very least, some simple encryption may well be in order.
Both TELNET- and file-based servers have their respective strengths. The most obvious for a TELNET-based server is it is quick and simple, and a client can be run on any machine that can be reached by the server using the telnet command. (Without adequate security considerations, this can also be a liability.)
The clients to file-based servers must run on the same machine (disregarding NFS-mounted directories for the sake of simplicity) and must be run by a user who is a member of the appropriate group. The most obvious advantage to a file-based server is that in the case of a server shutdown or a machine reboot, the pending jobs will still be waiting, whereas TELNET-based jobs must offload their pending jobs to disk (or to another server) if they are shut down.
Clients are the programs we use to send jobs to the server. At this point, writing the clients should be easy, since by choosing the type of server we are going to implement, we have implicitly chosen the type of client we must use to communicate with it.
Clients need to know how to contact the server, as well as verify that a profile is valid (the client should know when it has been asked to send a message to a nonexistent pager). To start with, we need a basic client, one we can run using the command line (or perhaps STDIN) to specify the profile and message and deliver a job—no frills, no fancy interfaces.
For file-based servers, this is a program (executable only by members of the appropriate group) which creates a job file in the appropriate directory with the appropriate permissions. With TELNET-based servers, the program can be run on any machine which has TELNET access to the machine on which the server runs and delivers the message via TELNET.
Once we have the basic client, we can move on to other types of clients. Here are two we might want to support:
An e-mail-based client: something like procmail could help us do the difficult work here—procmail can selectively process incoming e-mail and route it to a program of our choice. That program could then pick out the relevant headers we want transmitted (e.g., From, To and Subject) and the body of the e-mail, then pass it on to the basic client.
A web-based client: a CGI script can do the job here, picking out appropriate form entities and passing them on to the client. In the file-based server, we must make sure that the user the web server runs as, often "nobody", is also a member of the pager group. (Be sure to send an HUP signal to the server after adding it.)
In both cases, there are security issues to contend with. We certainly wouldn't want just anyone who has discovered the e-mail or web gateway to be able to send any page they wanted to anyone. The specifics regarding what sort of security precautions are advisable will depend strongly on the type of service we are running, so I will not go into detail about them here.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Building for the future, today – combining the best of historical wisdom and modern technology.
By Simran Sethi
Tags: greening house, greenwashing, home, packing, recycle, Simran Sethi
I have too many shoes and too many books. I now know this because I have had to pack them — all of them. I can honestly say half the reason I rarely move is because I hate moving. Interviewing Al Gore was easier than packing boxes and pouring through all the memories embedded in my stuff.
Nearly everything I have purchased has a story: the first rug I bought in a village in Indonesia, the art I tentatively studied and procured in India, the ceramic mugs my friend Sam made, the bamboo bowls I ordered from Viva Terra. I care deeply about not only how I spend my money but the impacts of my stuff. Whether it's a carton of milk or bottle of shampoo, I want to know the hands that made the product were paid fairly and the resources used to manufacture the product will not be diminished beyond capacity. So when it came to shipping my precious cargo from my mom's house in North Carolina, I was, of course, invested in that, too.
I logged five hours just deciding on a rental van for the move. Here's how I did it. First, I determined the most wasteful parts of a move — boxes, packing materials, and the fuel it takes to get from point A to point B. Then, I figured out how to minimize them. Boxes were easy. I asked others who had moved for theirs. Yes, it was that simple — and cheap! Had it not worked, I would have reverted to what I've done in past moves: ask grocery stores if I could have their boxes. No store has ever objected because the boxes are always destined for the recycling bin.
When I am done, I can pass the boxes on to friends, Freecycle them or, worst case, recycle them. I say "worst case" because I would rather give the boxes another life. Most cardboard boxes can make it through four moves. Since I rescued the boxes from the recycling bin, I know they have had at least two lives — but I would like to give them more. Another incredible alternative that I would have investigated (had they been available in my area) are rentable, recycled plastic bins that can be used repeatedly and keep plastic from our landfills.
Now for packing materials. My mom taught me to transform every textile into a packing material: t-shirts and cloth napkins get stuffed into glasses and vases, while blankets, comforters and towels enshroud framed paintings or buffer the hard edges of furniture. If I don't have enough blankets or towels, I buy a few extras from Goodwill and pass them along to the local homeless shelter or Humane Society when I'm done. Bubble wrap and packing peanuts (even the ones made of bio-plastic) do not jive with my desire to stay eco-friendly but when I do end up with the stuff (when I buy, ahem, shoes), I usually drop them off to FedEx and they happily reuse them. UPS does the same.
Now for the biggie — the moving van. The most resource-intensive part of a major move is the amount of fuel consumed during the trip. Petroleum greatly impacts the cost of our moves and the toll they have on the planet. Green Movers and Go Green Moving are two full-service movers that work in certain parts of the country and use low-emissions moving vehicles. But I only needed a truck, not professional movers, and I don't live in the spots these eco-movers service—so I scrutinized the major truck rental companies. . .for hours.
There is a concept in environmental communications known as "greenwashing," the corporate practice of making a company seem greener than it actually is. Those exaggerations lull consumers into thinking they are making a more environmentally friendly choice by choosing one product or service over another. Because we are inundated with information, it is not always easy to separate authentic green from greenwash. (Greenpeace has a fantastic blog that can help you make this distinction.)
I wanted to make sure I did not fall prey to greenwashing in my hunt for the perfect rental truck. Transportation is one of the greatest contributors to climate change. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, moving freight accounts for 20 percent of all energy consumed within the transportation sector. That means the most important way to green your move is to be very picky about your vehicle.
While U-Haul and others have interesting sustainability policies, it is simply not enough to offer recycled moving pads or retrofit trucks with fuel gauges that indicate the speed required for optimal fuel efficiency. In order to have a real impact, companies can't just say they are planning to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions; they have to do it. EPA's voluntary Smartway program is a partnership with freight carriers that ensures this very thing. The only commercial truck rental company in the Smartway program to earn an exceptional rating for fuel efficiency and environmental performance is Penske.
I found my optimal truck, but it was not easy. Penske does not trumpet their greenness (though they should). I took the time to research the Smartway program and dig around other sites to see what they were really up to. Then, I got on the phone with representatives from various moving companies. Hours later — no, days later, I had my answer.
Penske is committed to replacing their fleet with efficient vehicles, providing diesel on their larger-sized trucks (which get 8 to 10 mpg, compared with 6 to 8 mpg on their smaller gasoline-powered trucks) and offering eco-friendly moving supplies. Their moving blankets (in case you don't own enough cloth to pad your breakables) are available for rent and made from 70 percent post-consumer recycled fabric. And, if absolutely necessary, they sell boxes certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative that are made from an average of 30 percent post-consumer and 5 percent pre-consumer waste. Their packing peanuts are made from 100 percent recycled materials.
Moving is never fun — at least not for me. But I have been taking it back to the idea of relationships: the relationship I am forming with my new house, the relationship with my beloved friend who is helping me move, and, in the face of too many books and too many shoes, the small but mighty moments of empowerment that come with knowing these changes help me tread a little more gently on the Earth.

Payroll employment in August 2008
September 09, 2008
Total nonfarm payroll employment continued to trend down in August, decreasing by 84,000. Thus far in 2008, payroll employment has declined by 605,000, an average loss of 76,000 per month.
In August, employment fell in manufacturing (especially in motor vehicles and parts manufacturing) and employment services (especially in temporary help services).
Health care employment continued to grow in August, with more than half of the gain in hospitals.
Employment in mining also increased in August, with gains occurring in all the component industries. Over the past 12 months, job growth has been especially strong in support activities for mining and in oil and gas extraction.
These data are from the BLS Current Employment Statistics program, and are seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent two months are preliminary. More information can be found in "The Employment Situation: August 2008," (PDF) (HTML) news release USDL 08-1252.

Shaun MacDonald has credited the support of his family for helping him through an injury-plagued first season at Dean Court.
The 23-year-old arrived at the Dorset club from Swansea in the summer, but has started just 11 games for the Cherries due to a series of niggles.
However, the midfielder has featured in each of Bournemouth's last six outings and he has thanked those close to him for coaxing him through a testing start to his time on the south coast.
"It's not been the best of times. I came to play as many games as I could and to be out injured has been very frustrating for me," he said.
"But I'm back now and I'm looking forward to helping Bournemouth to a really positive end to the season.
"You have to stay mentally positive and keep focused on what you're trying to do and, luckily for me, I've got a good family around me and the gaffer (Lee Bradbury) has been great with me as well.
"There have been messages of support from the fans too, and all that helps you through a time like that. It's tough but it's part of football."

Friends, colleagues and family members can be a source of strength. A firm handshake, a hug or a pat on the back can be just the tonic for the weary soul. Let me explain.
One of our wonderful nurses in our hospice program shared an article from a scientific journal on the issue of grief. The researchers made one point crystal clear: Grief is a process. Think of grief as a moving target that you can't avoid. There's no fast forward button. There's no quick fix. There's no medication that can resolve this healing process.
Grief is normal. Grief is expected. If you don't embrace the process despite the pain and anguish, healing and transitioning to a "new normal" will never occur.
Everyone knows someone who has tried to short-circuit this process with medications, relationships or work activities. But the grief always resurfaces, often in destructive ways, such as chemical dependency or behavioral issues.
The message may be difficult to hear, but the healing process takes time and you almost always come out the other side as a more sensitive and insightful person. You can then reach out to others and share what you've learned.

- Exploration drilling commences
- Ice road deliveries to Gahcho Kué completed
- Mineral Services retained to complete new Tuzo resource statement

The Road Safety Week celebrations had just kicked off at Palayamkottai when a student of standard XI, riding a two-wheeler, was killed in an accident at KTC Nagar on the outskirts of the city. The motor cycle hit a lorry parked on the Palayamkottai–Tuticorin four-lane National Highway and the boy, the son of a village panchayat president, died on the spot.
The victim was 16 years old. The rules say anyone below the age of 18 years cannot be granted a driver's licence for vehicles with a capacity of 50 cc and above. But, no two-wheeler is available in the market with a lower capacity. Most of them come with a capacity of 100 cc and above. Rash driving even on busy thoroughfares is common leading to fatal accidents.
This trend can be checked if the police and the Regional Transport Office officials launch a drive against erring bike riders, especially school students, who drive their vehicles at high speed to reach either schools or their tuition centres in time. Unfortunately, no credible and sustained action has been taken so far by the enforcement authorities even though Palayamkottai and Tirunelveli have witnessed a number of fatal accidents involving school students.
What is more disturbing is the attitude of parents, who present bikes to their children even though they know that it is illegal. "The police and the transport officials should launch an intensive drive against those driving bikes without a valid licence. Such an operation alone will prevent students from riding bikes and save their lives," says D.A. Prabhakar, an advocate and consumer activist.
Assistant Commissioner of Police, Palayamkottai, S. Rajamannar admits that students ride bikes without driving licence and at high speed. "Though we warn the students and their parents, the problem continues," he says.
Police and Regional Transport Office officials should launch a drive,

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Hidden bullies Jekyll and Hyde personalities threat to workplace
I'm confident it would be a rare situation to encounter a senior executive who hasn't had to deal with poor leadership within their ranks. Part of the problem is that the most challenging leaders often exhibit a Jekyll and Hyde personality-- they seem to have two conflicting personalities that show themselves at different times.
For instance, when at the executive table, this type of leader will typically demonstrate and develop strong and positive interpersonal relationships with peers. They will show creativity in problem solving and contribute some powerful and strategic ideas to the discussion at hand. These departmental leaders also always seem to meet and/or exceed their financial goals.
But the evil Hyde side of this leader's personality seems to surreptitiously appear upon return to their direct work domain. In fact, their perceived leadership style seems to take a 180-degree turn as the individual reverts to being a bullying, abusive boss. They don't trust their employees, they don't respect their employees and they intimidate them at every turn. These leaders are authoritative perfectionists who have no clue how to coach and mentor employees for positive motivation. In fact, their idea of employee engagement is to create rigid systems and drive their people hard.
There are at least two challenges with this leadership style. First, employee turnover will be high. While production might appear high, more than likely one or two employees are over-exceeding their capacity while others suffer from low self-esteem and low morale and are unproductive. Either way, burnout will soon be a problem and production is bound to fall along with it.
Secondly, in many cases, the executive leader is often the last person to hear about the personnel problems experienced in a downstream department. That's because Jekyll and Hyde leaders are good at covering up and camouflaging issues. Employees, on the other hand, are frightened of repercussions and therefore reluctant to complain about their leader. Unless there is a reputable HR manager with whom the employees have confidence and will share concerns, employees will simply not openly complain. Let's face it, no matter what your HR policy manual says, employees are fearful of personal retaliation up to and including job loss.
Let's try to understand things from the employee's point of view. First, your employees more than likely perceive their departmental leader to be protected by his or her well established and positive senior management relationships. This will lead them to expect their complaint would either not be investigated or given serious consideration. Secondly, employees will probably have seen firsthand what happens to an employee who complains and those who fear job security will once again refrain from complaining to a higher level. Lastly, while most other managers are aware of the bully boss behaviours, they do not have any power to intervene or perhaps, they too are afraid of some of the power relationships within the organization.
It doesn't matter what type of industry sector you work in, there will be times when you have to deal with a management team member who is a bully boss, even if you simply hear about it through office gossip. The best strategy for ensuring a well-run organization is to engage in periodic, proactive human resource strategies rather than waiting until a major complaint arrives on your desk. This will help to facilitate the discovery of problematic pockets within your organization structure and allow you to deal with them more effectively. Some of these strategies include the following:
Employee satisfaction/engagement surveys -- These online surveys can be customized to include additional sets of questions of concern to you and your organization. The assessment tool helps to determine if employee needs are being met at work, if they are motivated and achieving their goals and also assesses the level of employee morale. The results typically allow you to compare various departments with one another, thus disclosing areas of concern.
Departmental reviews -- While somewhat threatening, an organizational leader can contract with an external consultant to conduct a departmental review. Usually the focus is on improving efficiency and effectiveness that includes elements such as leadership style, employee engagement, performance management as well as leadership trust and integrity. These reviews are more people-oriented than paper based and often allow employees to share their issues in a confidential environment.
Listening tours -- Executive leaders can implement ongoing listening tours where groups of employees from various departments are invited to meet the senior leader. These can be private conversations and/or directed by a facilitator. Typically, the discussion focuses on the challenges they're experiencing and request solutions to the issues that arise. If these tours are conducted by a facilitator alone, you might find that employees will share more openly.
Bull pen meetings -- These meetings require pulling all employees together and/or designated larger groups and opening up conversation to employee interests. If employees are reluctant to speak up, try collecting written questions from the crowd. In most cases, once you listen to the various challenges, you'll have to make assumptions regarding whether these are caused by leadership style.
Customer service survey -- In most cases, when leaders treat employees poorly, they in turn often treat customers poorly. Therefore, conducting a customer service survey is also one means of identifying leadership challenges.
Multiple input management reviews -- Performance reviews called 360 reviews have become popular in the last number of years. These online assessments incorporate the opinion of participants specifically selected from colleagues, bosses, subordinates and sometimes vendors/customers. The results clearly demonstrate areas of strength and challenge and, as well, the documents provide suggestions for developmental improvement.
Having to deal with a dysfunctional departmental leader who bullies and intimidates staff is a difficult problem, especially when productivity appears to meet financial objectives. However, productivity will be short lived if something isn't done. Don't wait until there's a complaint from a human rights commission and/or department of labour. Do something now. Make the assessment of your organization culture and employee engagement a part of your organization culture. Be proactive.

Despite the added features, the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Router R20000G doesn't impress as much as the previous model, and hence fails to justify its higher price tag.
CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
The Netgear WNDR3800 N600 Wireless Dual-Band Gigabit Router makes an excellent router for any home.
The Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Router WNDR3400 is a great dual-band router for any home at an affordable price. Its lack of Gigabit Ethernet might steer enthusiasts away, however.
The hefty price aside, the Asus AC2400 RT-AC87U is the most complete 802.11ac router to date, capable of satisfying all your home networking needs.
One day after the FCC adopted new Net neutrality rules, consumers are left scratching their heads about what it means for their Web-surfing experience. Has anything really changed?
With a few major shortcomings, the Belkin F7D8301 Play N600 HD Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router is only a good buy for non-Mac owners who intend to use the 5GHz band for their primary network.
Finally, an easy way to lower your monthly cable bill. Plus: free stuff!
So long as you're not a networking newbie, the Totolink A2004NS AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router is a good deal for those living in a small or medium home.
Despite a few minor shortcomings, the DIR-880L is still one of the best 802.11ac routers on the market.
Unless you live in a very small home and need a color router to match, skip D-Link's latest DIR-818LW in favor of more powerful options.

(Not So) Blurred Lines
This song was one of my favorites this summer. I loved the beat. Sure, I had read the lyrics. I completely understood what the song was saying. A girl was saying 'no' to a guy's sexual advances. However, because she was dancing with him and wanted to 'hug' him, the song says the girl is giving mixed signals–blurred lines. She's a good girl, you see. Yet she's an 'animal' and it's in her 'nature.' Right. The lyrics proceed as this:
I know you want it. You're a good girl. Can't let it get past me. Gotta have it.
I even saw the video of the naked models being surrounded by predatory men, who are fully clothed, dancing. Robin Thicke, the singer, blows smoke into the model's face and brushes her hair. You know, because, women are not really human. They are objects to be had and abused.
Okay, so I worked out to this song. It's on my phone. I liked the beat. I laughed off the meaning because, well, I had never been in the situation. At least, I hadn't been in that situation in a VERY long time. Anytime a man became too friendly, 'no' was usually enough for them to leave me alone. If not, I would call over a male friend and that would take care of the problem. This has not happened to me in such a long time, that I had lost a bit of my edge. I even listened to a song that I wouldn't normally listen to because I had become complacent. I'm not a raging feminist (or maybe I am?) but I am not for women being treated solely as objects of a man's sexual desires. All the women I have ever met, seen or known have been breathing, comprehending human beings.
Then I moved to the big city of Madrid and everything changed. If this can happen to me in a relatively 'safe' city, it can happen anywhere to anyone.I have had some very scary incidents since being here. None of them were because I was being careless or not aware of my surroundings. Nor did I do anything to provoke them yet I found myself in tense situations because of these so called 'blurred lines'.
I will explain two that have happened to me personally. Let me also make the readers aware that these incidents happened in broad daylight with many people around; I guess you are never truly safe.
I was meeting some friends for drinks one day. It was a warm day and we all agreed it would be nice to share some sangria and tapas. So, I went to meet them. I went to the main metro station in Madrid called Sol. This is by far the busiest metro in Madrid. There were people everywhere, all scurrying to catch the next train. I walked down to Line 3 to catch the train myself. I was on the escalator down when a man on the escalators coming up waved at me and said, 'Hello beautiful!' in Spanish. The way he said it made me think he was familiar with me. When I glanced up, I didn't know him. I thought he had mistaken me for a friend of his or someone he knew. So, I went on down to wait for the metro. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around. It's the man. I was standing against the wall and he proceeds to put a hand on either side of my head, pinning me to the wall. 'Hello, my name is Juan. I like you a lot. You're beautiful. Your body drives me crazy. Let's go get a drink.' He said this in quick succession, trying to grab my hand.
'No, I am meeting friends and I have a boyfriend. I am not interested. Thanks,' I replied. He shook his head.
'You don't understand, I like you VERY MUCH. Let's get a drink.'
'No, I don't want to. Like I said, I have a boyfriend and am meeting friends.' I had to lie about having a partner as I thought this would make him leave me alone. He grabs my arm and people are now starting to notice what is happening. My heart is beating quickly and I can feel the panic in the back of my throat. This man was around 6'3 and at least 220 pounds of muscle. I had to think quickly, so I blurted out, 'I am going out tonight, let me take your number and I'll call you and we will go out.' If someone is crazy enough to pin me in broad daylight with hundreds of people walking about, I didn't know what else he was capable of. He says, 'Okay! Here…' and tells me his number. I show him I am saving it. He bends down to try to kiss me. I duck. Mercifully, the train comes at that moment. I look around me and there are curious faces looking at me as if to ask, 'What is going on?' I jump on board quickly and mutter to myself, 'Thanks for helping guys.' Needless to say, I never called him and deleted the number. I was still shaky when I met up with my friends.
Then, this past week, when I was walking to pick up a Western Union transfer from my local post office (Correos), I came across two men seated on a bench. They made some typical remark 'Hey beautiful! How are YOU doing today?' I wasn't feeling well because I had bronchitis and thus, I ignored them. This time, I had a fake wedding band on my hand. As I am walking, I hear footsteps and a bit of shuffling and whispering behind me. I hold my purse tighter and keep my head up. It's broad daylight, again, with lots of people walking the streets. I glance behind me and it is the two guys from the bench. 'Hey, gorgeous, come here. Talk with us!' I keep walking. I think in my head 'This cannot be happening again. I don't even look nice and I'm sick.' It was all I could do to get out of bed. Then as I stop to cross the street, the one named 'Johnny' came up to me. 'I like you! You're gorgeous. I love your body, honestly. You're driving me wild. What's your name? Where are you from?' I say flatly, 'I am married,' and show my ring, 'and I am not interested. Please leave me alone.' He shakes his head and smiles, 'No pasa nada, linda, I am married too! I still want to get to know you.' I walk. His friend disappears but Johnny keeps walking along side of me, stating all the reasons I should get to know him. He's a good guy, he works here legally, he's a good lover, etc. I say nothing other than 'I am not interested, leave me alone. I am meeting friends. I have a husband.' Because I was going to pick up money, I start to become frightened again. This man will not leave me alone. I, again, have to think quickly. I see a cafe and had told him I was meeting friends. A lie, but I couldn't tell him I was going to pick up money. I say to him, 'Fine, Johnny, go to that cafe and get a pen and paper. I will take your number.' He does so, leaving me with precious minutes to devise a plan. I walk up to a table of friendly people and explain my situation. They tell me not to worry, they will pretend to be my friends and they will make sure this man goes away. Johnny comes back with his piece of paper and I say, 'These are my friends. I'm staying here.' The people look at him without smiling. He smiles a bit and says, 'Okay, see you later! Please call me beautiful!'
We watch him as he leaves. The one girl, Ana Rosa, tells me when has finally left and gives me a hug. She tells me I can stay with them if I want and drink a coffee. I stay and chit-chat with them, and eventually exchange numbers with the two girls. I tell them thank you so much for saving me and am on my way. I take the bus on the way back, so I don't have to walk by those guys again.
These are two very real incidents that have happened to me. In both examples, I have clearly said 'no.' It wouldn't matter if I was dressed in a dress cut down to my navel, if I said 'no', I mean 'no.' There are no blurred lines when it comes to a woman saying 'no.' If we do not want to your advances, pushing them will not do you any good. Anything that is not consensual is wrong. Sex without consent is rape. Pinning a scared woman against a wall is perverse and horrid. So, I disagree with blurred lines. The only way to know if she 'wants it' is to ask. She is not an 'animal' she is a human being. She is to be respected, not to be had. If she says 'no' then she means no. Needless to say, I no longer find the 'Blurred Lines' song by Robin Thicke funny or even entertaining. It is a degradation to all women who have been put in these types of situations.

A man said "I'd lick that pussy baby" to me while I was walking home through my neighborhood. I didn't respond or react at all, just gave him a dirty look.

I was walking from class home when these two guys yelled at me from the car. something about wanting to "break me". I just gave them a dirty look and kept walking. By the time they had circled back I was livid. When they yelled more obscenities at me I flipped them off. That's when they threw the bottle at me. I was so shocked at being hit and worried about the broken glass when it hit the concrete that I didn't get the license plate number. It pisses me off that they got away with it.

Locked my bike up in its usual spot outside the home of a dog I walk. Some guy on the sidewalk was crossing the street in the same direction I was. He sat on some steps on the far side of the street, and I passed, just going about my day. He called out "Hey!" in a low tone. I figured he was just saying hey, as people around here often do in passing, or was making an attempt to beg for money (which happens so often I do tend to ignore it/pretend I didn't hear). When I didn't respond, he added "I want to shove my c0ck in you." I was shocked and thrown off. I've been whistled at before, but never victim to verbal attacks like this. He further added "I have to punish you" in an even softer tone.
I hurried to my destination and sat inside for about ten minutes, hoping by the time I went out again to walk the dog, he'd be gone. Thankfully he was.
This happened at an intersection across from a school, which makes it even scarier. I'm trying to find a way to report it, but I didn't even get a look at him.
My biggest concern is being too afraid to respond in a reprimanding way for fear of being physically assaulted as a result. So how, then, does one go about combating this unacceptable behaviour?
In July 2010, while returning home at around 7:30 pm, I felt like I was being watched.
I realized that these were the same people who always seemed to hang around that place when I returned from my Language studies at the nearby institute. That particular night, I had walked a little forward to catch my bus home. The area was dimly lit and no one was around. There were three men. They started to sing and cat call. I turned around to confront them and was chased and later stabbed with a throw knife. I had to run for my life and I barely made it out. Fortunately, there is a police box very close to that place now. But there are countless such dingy and dark alleyways in our city where people keep harassing women, making them feel unsafe.
It is not about wearing clothes since in our city, most women wear salwar or saree anyway. The fear also arises because mostly who revolt are either beat up badly or in worst cases, shot or stabbed. People are afraid of raising a voice or even share their stories. I feel that if the support behind these harassers is destroyed, our city'd be much safer.

Pride in the Park is a day we all should be able to enjoy.
Some out of state people showed up to prance around with signs and verbally attack Pride-goers.
One man, bible in hand decided me and my friend looked homosexual and proceeded to keep asking why we look as we do. "WHY ARE YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT?!? ARE YOU A HOMOSEXUAL?!?"
They harassed many people present and even brought a bullhorn. So you travel states just spread hate in the name of your god? Logical…

I just moved to Las Vegas about a month ago to pursue a performance career, I am a fire dancer.
I finished my shift at Paris casino (handing out voucher tickets for the Eiffel Tower experience), and was walking back to the MGM where I parked my car. For those who don't know what the Vegas strip is like, 11am is no quiet time. Every part is brightly lit up and there are hundreds of people.
As I'm walking, this tall man comes right off my left side behind me and says, "Hey girl, how are you? What are you up to?"
I give him that "oh haha yeah you think I'm cute thanks I'm gonna keep walking bye now smile" and move away from him. I'm sure you ladies know which smile I'm talking about.
He says, "What, you afraid of guys? You afraid of me? You don't wanna talk to me?"
And, in the same 'aha yeah sorry I'm just on my way please excuse my rudeness' fashion, I say, "Sorry, I just don't talk to random guys I don't know". I'm doing that dismissive smiling thing because I'm conditioned to brush guys off gently, to not anger people, to make it seem like I'M the rude person for not responding.
He snaps.
He starts screaming at me at the top of his longs, chasing me for about a block as I try to get away from him as fast as I can.
….and so forth and it just got more angry and colorful from there.
As I'm getting away as fast as I can I'm shouting "Leave me alone! Get away from me!"
I dive off into a food court and hide as soon as I feel like I have enough distance, but I don't know how far behind me he is because he was screaming so loud I couldn't gauge the distance very well.
Thankfully there was a police officer in the food court and he was kind enough to call in a couple of security guards to escort me to my car.
I was shaking and crying and I felt ready to puke. Of course it was terrifying. I didn't know if this was gonna be the one guy that instead of responding with the usual, "Whatever, you're ugly anyway" that happens when I refuse public advances, he was going to be the one that had a knife or a gun. Because YES that happens to women and YES women have died when they refuse cat call advances.
This is the outfit I was wearing.
Yes I'm flipping off the camera in the photo. I'm angry. I'm angry that this person felt he could treat me this way for simply NOT WANTING TO TALK TO HIM. I'm angry that this is not an isolated incident, that women all over the world experience this every day.
I'm tired of being scared outside. I want to feel safe and free. HOLLABACK.

I was traveling in Paris, making my way to the Eiffel Tower one bright afternoon. I was looking around, trying to make sure I was going the right way, and, as a result, I made eye contact with a man that was walking past me on the sidewalk.
A few minutes later, he had turned around and caught up to me. He followed me. I was nervous, trying to be polite yet distant while he tried to engage me in conversation. On the way back to the underground, he grabbed my hand and tried to kiss me.
I moved away from him, told him to stop, but he just laughed and kept walking beside me. We were in a part of the park that was virtually empty, so, even though I told him to leave, I didn't want to stay where I was, with no one else around, until he did.
All the way back to the underground, he continued to try to touch me. I tried to push him away, but didn't want to strike him. The last thing I wanted was for the situation to turn violent.
Finally, I made it back to one of the main stations, walked over to the police booth and stayed there until he left. Some people have said I should have expected it, traveling alone… Like the unacceptable behavior was mine. But what makes it okay for him to harass me, touch me, stalk me? Why does walking somewhere on my own in broad daylight mean he's not to blame?

Beautician Shahnaz Husain offers suggestions and answers queries. Send your queries to firstname.lastname@example.com
I sweat a lot. Please suggest home remedies that would help eliminate body odour. — Pruthula
Use colognes. They are lighter and their fragrance lingers. They can also be added to bath water. Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) helps prevent body odour. Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it under the arms. You can also add lemon juice to this paste. Leave it on for ten minutes, before washing it off. Or, mix a little baking soda with your talcum powder and apply it under the arms, or on the feet. Rose water can always be added generously to bath water. Or, add 2 drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil to two tablespoons of water or rose water. Apply this under the arms with cotton wool. For excessive perspiration, Ayurveda gives some dietary suggestions. Drink "nimbu paani." Also drink ginger tea before and after your meals. Chop fresh ginger root finely and mix it with a pinch of salt. Chew a little of this before your meal. Drinking warm water with your meal may also help. A light diet and a less intake of spices are advisable. Eat smaller meals.
I have acne marks. Suggest a skin care routine for clear and glowing skin. — Arifa
Mix rice powder with curd and use it as a facial scrub once or twice a week. Apply it on the face and rub it gently on the skin with tiny circular movements, especially on the marks. Leave it on for a few minutes and then wash it off with water. Do not apply on pimples, acne or rashes. Mix honey and lemon juice in equal quantities and apply it daily on the face. Wash it off after 15 minutes with plain water. Twice a week, apply a face mask. Mix 3 teaspoons of oatmeal with one teaspoon each of honey, curd and lemon juice, or egg white. Apply it on the entire face, avoiding the lips and the area around the eyes. Wash it off after half an hour.
Can I wash my hair every day? What should I do to improve its growth? Will vitamin capsules help? — Visarth
You can apply oil once a week at night and wash your hair the next morning. If your hair and scalp are oily, avoid oil. You can wash your hair daily, but use very little shampoo. Only one application of shampoo is enough. Ask your doctor to prescribe Vitamin B-Complex and Vitamin C. Hair loss can occur due to oily scalp, dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, stress, etc. In men, hair loss can also be due to hormonal factors. Apply a non-oily herbal hair tonic on the scalp daily, using cotton wool and leave it on. Avoid a head massage. If there is hair loss, the roots are already weak and a massage may aggravate the problem. Diet is very important. Have a small bowl of sprouts daily, and include fresh fruits, salads, leafy green vegetables, and curd, in your diet.
My lips are turning black. What should I do to have pink lips? — Ranjani
The skin of the lips is very thin and delicate. However, after washing the face, when the lips are still wet, you can rub them gently with a soft towel. This helps to remove dead skin. Then apply cream of milk and leave it on for an hour. Add a few drops of lemon juice to the cream of milk before application. Apply pure almond oil daily on the lips at night and leave it on overnight. You can also look for a lip balm with sunscreen. Change your brand of lipstick, because the perfume in certain lipsticks can cause darkness as a reaction to sun-exposure.
I have a lot of white heads. On removal, they leave huge open pores. I use a facial scrub thrice a week, but it hasn't helped. — Parimala
In whiteheads, the pores are not open. That is why they are difficult to remove. Removing them can leave open pores, or lead to pimples and acne. You can consult a dermatologist regarding this. Meanwhile, apart from using a scrub once or twice a week, try some home remedies. Make a paste of fenugreek (methi) leaves and apply it on the face daily, washing it off after an hour. Drink six to eight glasses of water daily. Add the juice of a lemon to a glass of water and drink it first thing in the morning. Drinking barley water is also said to help prevent whiteheads.

You know this is such aSubmitted by heartache (not verified) on Sun, 04/01/2012 - 10:16pm.
You know this is such a tragic accident! I hear so much about the things that are dangerous now that were not dangerous 10 years ago from the kind of paint you use in a child's bedroom to the way your baby sleeps at night! I have rode in the back of so many pick up trucks holding china hutchs, mattress's, bicycles and no telling what else! I have a 17 year old as well and I could see myself doing the same thing with him, however you always try to tie things down to a certain degree. I am not familiar with this family at all, but I am sure that there is so much pain today in so many people's hearts! What I should have done but what I did not! My prayers as a mother (divorced as well) is pain and always the question of 'why"! No matter what is done this child can not be brought back, I hope that we as parents will learn from this as well! Prayers going out to you all! My heart aches over this entire situation and I will continue to lift you all up in prayer! »

Learning the ophthalmic exam while being immediately thrust into a clinic setting is stressful. Many questions need to be asked and answered.

KPSS test
In econometrics, Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) tests are used for testing a null hypothesis that an observable time series is stationary around a deterministic trend. Such models were proposed in 1982 by Alok Bhargava in his Ph.D. thesis where several John von Neumann or Durbin–Watson type finite sample tests for unit roots were developed (see Bhargava, 1986). Later, Denis Kwiatkowski, Peter C. B. Phillips, Peter Schmidt and Yongcheol Shin (1992) proposed a test of the null hypothesis that an observable series is trend stationary (stationary around a deterministic trend). The series is expressed as the sum of deterministic trend, random walk, and stationary error, and the test is the Lagrange multiplier test of the hypothesis that the random walk has zero variance. KPSS type tests are intended to complement unit root tests, such as the Dickey–Fuller tests. By testing both the unit root hypothesis and the stationarity hypothesis, one can distinguish series that appear to be stationary, series that appear to have a unit root, and series for which the data (or the tests) are not sufficiently informative to be sure whether they are stationary or integrated.
- Bhargava, A. (1986). "On the Theory of Testing for Unit Roots in Observed Time Series". The Review of Economic Studies 53 (3): 369–384. doi:10.2307/2297634. JSTOR 2297634.

Marcos Rojo is facing 'strong disciplinary measures' at Sporting Lisbon as he pushes for a summer transfer.
The Argentina international has handed in a transfer request and expressed a desire to link up with Manchester United.
Sky sources in Lisbon report that United have bid around £16m but it is believed Sporting are holding out for more; that is because they only own 25 per cent of the player - and hence would only get 25 per cent of any transfer fee.
In an effort to try and force the issue, the attack-minded full-back is refusing to train with his current club.
Sporting are not about to bow to player pressure, though, and have informed Rojo, along with team-mate Islam Slimani, that unprofessionalism will not be tolerated.
Club president Bruno de Carvalho told Sporting TV: \"They are subject to disciplinary action, but they are not in the B team.
\"Both players took decisions that have provoked strong, internal disciplinary action.
\"A general note: Any player who does not follow the rules of the club, these two or any others, they can do what they want, but it only complicates the issue.
\"Don't use the press, be professionals. These players are subject to strong disciplinary measures.
\"They can't play on Saturday, if they want they can watch the game at home.
\"We'll see, it could delay things a lot, it could drag things out a lot, but on Saturday it will not be resolved.\"
De Carvalho has also been quick to point out that sales are not guaranteed this summer, with it possible that the situation with Rojo and Slimani 'could end with them seeing out their three-year contracts'.

Nautilus Café was always notable for being on the wrong side of Woodcleft Avenue — that is, not overlooking the water on Freeport's Nautical Mile.
