Here's what HOLLAs around the world have been up to:
Hollaback! Bahamas has been standing up to their government the past couple of weeks due to a recent incident in which a Bahamian Member of Parliament decided it was appropriate to joke about beating up his girlfriend during a budget debate. When he was publicly criticized for his words, he responded with non-apologies and compared this criticism to rape. The government of the Bahamas has declined to address this conduct in their House so Hollaback! Bahamas is asking others around the world to add voices to theirs and demand accountability. If you'd like to join their efforts, you can check out their Facebook page for recent updates, follow the conversation on twitter using #NotBetterInTheBahamas and #VAW, and share their story. HB! Bahamas was also on the radio show "Global Talk" this week, discussing "Women's Rights in The Bahamas, the Region, and the World".
Hollaback! Belfast joined the Women's collective Reclaim the Agenda in celebrating International Women's Day by marching and having a major rally in Belfast.
Hollaback! Bosnia and Herzegovina joined the CURE foundation in marching through Sarajevo for International Women's Day. The purpose of the march was to remind citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the true values of IWD, but to also draw attention to the current discrimination of women in BiH society. Check out these awesome photos from the march here.
Hollaback! Boston presented at the Five College Queer Gender and Sexuality Conference at Hampshire College in Amherst.
Hollaback! Des Moines held their monthly meetup, an open forum to discuss street harassment issues in Des Moines.
Hollaback! Dublin did a workshop with students in Trinity College, Dublin as part of their International Women's Week program. They also wrote an open letter to Chris Barry, host of FM104 Phoneshow – one of Dublin's most talked about radio show. Barry recently made comments on the air condoning sexual harassment in the workplace in which HB! Dublin's letter is in response to. In the letter, HB! Dublin discusses the seriousness of sexual harassment in the workplace, how Barry's comments can have great negative consequence on their culture, and request that he make a public apology to the women of Dublin.
Hollaback! Gent held a meeting on violence against women in collaboration with other feminist organizations in Gent. The event included various workshops, with HB! Gent presenting on "Being a Bystander on the Street and a Supporter for Victims of Sexual Assault". More information (mostly in Dutch) and visuals can be found on the event website: Doorbreek de Stilte (which translates to "Break the Silence" in Dutch).
Hollaback! London had a fantastic launch week for their Good Night Out campaign. They got a TON of press (linked up top), put up posters in supporter venues around the city, and already have some interest from more venues to get on board! Check out some of the positive feedback they've been getting on twitter and feel free to join the conversation at #goodnightout. HB! London also participated in the Million Women Rise march and rally on Saturday, and held a free workshop at the WOWZERS Festival on Sunday. The workshop was an informal, friendly safe space where attendees could discuss their experiences of street harassment, talk about myths, learn about the work of Hollaback!, and find out how to get involved.
Hollaback! Ottawa was a recipient of a 2014 Femmy Award for their work, a local award given to organizations or individuals who have made a difference in the fight for women's equality in the National Capital Region. Way to go HB! Ottawa!
Hollaback! Pittsburgh created a Guest Mix for The Grey Estates, a Pittsburgh based music blog and zine. The playlist is "full of songs meant to empower and remind women (and LGBTQ folks, or anyone who is the victim of street harassment) to fight back again harassment and hollaback!". In other words, it rules!
Hollaback! Tucson wrote an open letter to tumblr users, discussing recent posts from users claiming that to have an education negates all oppression.
Hollaback! University of London Union (ULU) launched a new training guide for staff in students' unions as part of the Good Night Out campaign. The guide aims to help clubs, venues, bars and pubs to better deal with, address and prevent the harassment of women and LGBTQ people in their spaces. You can download the 'Good Night Out' – Students' Unions Staff Training Guide here.

Hey Hollas,
We wanted to start our recap this week on more of a serious note. Hollaback! stands in solidarity with those in support of Trayvon Martin and his family. Everyone deserves to feel safe on the street regardless of their race, sexual orientation, class, creed, religion, or sex. More than anything, we hope that the dialogue emerging out of this tragedy will continue, and that these crimes will ultimately lessen.
In Happier News,

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
What it took to write What It Takes
It's a shame that Richard Ben Cramer, the memorable writer who died Jan. 7 at the age of 62, isn't around to read his obituaries. Somewhere in the afterworld, one hopes, he's telling hilarious stories on the subject of vindication and how he came to need it.
Cramer wrote lots of interesting things over the years, but his clear masterwork was What It Takes, a 1,000-page tome about the 1988 presidential election. Getting it written just about did him in, and by the time it reached the bookstores, the 1988 election was long over and the 1992 campaign was in full cry. The reviews were mixed, and some were cruel.
"Sad to say," Time concluded, "Mr. Cramer topples over his own precipice of excess." Maureen Dowd, writing in the Washington Monthly, said she'd read it but learned almost nothing. The Boston Globe derided it as "What It Weighs." Sales were dismal, and the apparent failure left Cramer, as he said later, "dismayed, bereft, maybe clinically depressed."
And yet, with the passage of time, people did read What It Takes. Influential people, apparently, because its reputation began to grow by word of mouth. Year after year, it kept growing until the present day, when — as the obits tell us — many consider it the best book ever written about a political campaign.
Cramer, as older Philadelphians may remember, used to write for The Inquirer. I was the paper's metropolitan editor in 1975 when he turned up as a job candidate, and an interesting one at that. He'd been working at the Baltimore Sun, where he'd had a quarrel with the managing editor over a factual issue in one of his stories. The managing editor wanted to publish a correction. Richard objected. When the correction ran against his will, he decided the only honourable thing to do was to resign. As I said, he was an interesting candidate, presenting both flashes of brilliance and certain question marks.
At The Inquirer, we got an early glimpse of his distinctive reporting style when he undertook a feature story about the life of an African-American family. I can't remember the gist of the story anymore, but I'll never forget the way he made himself a virtual family member. He was missing from the newsroom for days on end, and when he finally surfaced, he was sporting a new hairdo. Richard was the first white man I ever saw with cornrows.
This total-immersion approach was one of the things that set him apart. He simply couldn't get enough of the people he was writing about. He wasn't doing it just to get a story either. It's probably no exaggeration to say that he loved them.
Love, as you may have noticed, is not fashionable in Washington. Reporters tend to use certain measuring sticks on the politicians they cover, including issues, ideologies, inconsistencies, and blunders. Where does the love fit in? It doesn't, which may account for some of the visceral reaction to What It Takes.
The book's assumption is that the people who run for president are actually human beings whose life experiences, starting in the cradle, determine who they are and what they're likely to do in high office. It also assumes that declaring oneself a candidate for the presidency and enduring all that a campaign entails is an act of audacity that sets presidential candidates apart from just about everybody else — hence the title, What It Takes.
The portraits the book presents of Joe Biden, Michael Dukakis, Richard Gephardt, Gary Hart, George H.W. Bush and Bob Dole are grounded in the same techniques Richard used in Philadelphia — going to their hometowns, getting to know their families, sitting down for unhurried talks with their old friends and schoolteachers. Since reading the book, I, for one, have always felt I knew the candidates personally, in a rewarding and indelible way.
It deserves mention that Richard wrote other notable books and articles. At The Inquirer, he won a Pulitzer for his coverage of the Middle East. Esquire published his acclaimed profiles of Ted Williams, the brilliant but surly baseball star, and William Donald SchaeBy John S. Carrollfer, the wonderfully weird mayor of Baltimore. And, lest anyone think Richard was a pushover, his book on Joe DiMaggio pretty much stripped the bark off the Yankee Clipper.
The reason he was successful, I think, is that his work was so keenly attuned to who he was. We've read about Steve Jobs, a brilliant innovator but a miserable human being. Richard took another road. Had he not been such a generous spirit, so in love with mankind, we'd never have heard of him.
John S. Carroll is a former editor of the Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, and Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader, and current chairman of the News Literacy Project.

7/27/2014 (8 months ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
In a gruesome series of images, an Islamic State terrorist is tweeting images of a friend posing with the severed heads of decapitated victims. Terrorist, Mohamed Elomar who was born in Australia and traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State is clearly having a good time as he is photographed by Khaled Sharrouf.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Australian-born Islamic State terrorist, Mohamed Elomar, has created a buzz on Twitter by posing with the severed heads of his victims. Knowing that he is wanted by Australian police, Elomar has been taunting them from Syria where he is operating, murdering as he goes.
His partner in crime is Khaled Sharrouf, who is taking the pictures and posting them to his Twitter.
Emergency Fund - SAVE Iraqi Christians from Genocide
In addition to the offensive photos, the men are posting tweets that make light of their killings, saying things like, "This guys lost his head!!! Loll" and "few more heads how lovely bludy amazing stuff abuhafs u keep on cutting those infidel throats but the last 1 is mine!" Or this gem, "bucket full ofheads any1 in aus[Australia] wans some organs please dont be shy to ask I would love to assist u with body parts"
Both Elomar and Sharrouf are Australian nationals from Sydney who have been entirely corrupted to evil by the Islamic State militia to which they belong. The men do not even fear their eventual death, which is probably inevitable.
"You cowards," Sharrouf tweeted on July 14, "I am running to my death, I want martyrdom that's why I am blessed u rock spiders".
He also claimed that same day that "Australia belongs to the muslims not infidels like you".
Both men are typical of the terrorists that are fighting to carve up Iraq and Syria to establish their own country run according to the most barbaric interpretations of Sharia law. Recently, their organization initiated its genocidal policy to displace Christians from the city of Mosul and other areas, which serves as their primary urban stronghold for the time being.
In those cities, Christians who have not fled because they don't have the money or the means, will soon face death at the hands of reveling murderers like Elomar and Sharrouf.
Already, a Biblical-era Christian shrine outside Mosul has been destroyed despite its massive historical significance. These terrorists are bent on the destruction of Christians.
The Islamic State has also made clear that they will not be content with a new nation sliced from Syria and Iraq. For them, this conflict is global in scale and they have an obligation to make the whole world subscribe to their brand of Islam, even if it means killing to do it.
As Catholics, our job is to pray for peace and to ask our governments to use whatever political and economic power within their means to stop the violence and bring murderers like these men to justice.
Please join us here by signing our petition in protest.
Mohamed Elomar poses with heads on his friend's Twitter.
Syrian soldiers beheaded after surrendering to Islamic State terrorists.
Islamic State terrorists routinely pose with their victims. It's part of their strategy to terrorize anyone who would oppose them.
The heads of Syrian soldiers impaled on a fence to serve as intimidation to others.

IT Manager Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Cargill.
Very slow interview process and status/follow up may not be provided. Seemed to be an environment in which it was like an extraordinary kind of sitatuation to be having an interview with the company, the company didn't seem progressive at all but instead slow and homogenous and more than okay with it

HR will scan resumes and look for key words. Job titles can be confusing & misleading. A "Strategic Partner" is a much higher job than a "Global Function Leader".

Hepatitis B Test Result. Please help me!

Posted by
- Two years ago, I got test for Hepatitis B and the result came without S/Co value:
HBsAg Negative (without any S/Co Value)
Anti HBs Negative (without any S/Co Value)
So I was asked to vaccinated with 60ug Hepatitis B vaccine, which required only one shot, not 3 shots of 20ug like nomal. I didn't take any further test later.[br>- Yesterday, I was super anxious about hepatitis B, so I got another test to ease my mind. After 1 hour, I got the result.[br>HBsAg - Negative 0.325 (S/Co < 1) [br>Anti HBs - Positive 19.14 ( <10) IU/L [br>When I saw my S/Co is 0.325, not 0 or 0.1, I was scared. But the doctor told me that I did not have Hepatitis, and asked me to take another two boosts because my Anti HBs was way too low (she told me a normal person with positive anti HBs positive would have 500 or higher). [br>***My question is why my HBsAg are so high?
0.325 means I got the virus in my blood, but under detected? My sister also Negative but with 0.1 S/Co. Why mine not 0 or 0.1?
Could my negative result be a false Negative? Do I have Hepatitis B virus in my blood?
What's the differences between 0 and 0.9? The higher, the more risk? And why my Anti HBs is too low? Do I have any protection?
***Could a high value of S/Co with a Low value of Anti HBs means you could have Hepatitis B? Because my Anti HBs are too low, not hundreds like a normal person.[br>I can't sleep lately, I'm super worry now. [br>Please help me out! Thank you!

Does that modifier on the bow grant anything special beside the actual damage amount? Does holy damage have a bonus to certain enemies?
For that matter, does ice damage on your bow cause slow? What about arcane? Or are they currently just a pretty color and does not have actual elemental effects?

ice = slows enemies
holy = enemies that die explode and heal nearby allies
fire = enemies that die explode and hurt nearby enemies
lightning = your attacks are more likely to interrupt/stagger enemies
poison = lots of pretty colors?
arcane = lots of pretty colors?
ice affixes are inherently weaker than the other affixes to compensate for the utility the slow provides, same goes for lightning
raw damage affixes are the strongest to compensate for how they have no special effect

poison adds a dot
Edited by Cade#1146 on 5/31/2012 3:43 PM PDT
It seems the effects only apply to critical hits, just pretty colors for normal hits.
Types of damage and effects
Critical hits are a major part of the game in Diablo III, dealing double damage with every type of damage, inflicting bonus effects, boosting and being boosted by a wide variety of skills, and triggering special (extra gruesome) death animations.
Physical Damage: Deals double damage. Might also knockback, but not confirmed.
Arcane Damage: Critical hits from arcane damage silence targets for 4 secs. (Silenced targets can not cast some spells, such as a Skeletal Summoner or Goatman Shaman resurrecting fallen minions.)
Cold Damage: Critical hits from cold damage freeze targets for 2 seconds.
Fire Damage: Critical hits from fire damage set targets ablaze, dealing additional damage per second.
Lightning Damage: Critical hits from lightning damage stun targets for 2 seconds.
Toxic Damage: Critical hits from toxic (poison) damage have an unknown bonus. Extra damage over time?

bump for interest.
Does that mean Physical affix deals more damage than others? Is this confirmed?

Give vacation-home bathroom a makeover
Who says cabins have to be plain? Why not make the bathroom in your vacation home as fun as your holiday?
First, take an eclectic mixture of materials – wood timbers, natural stone, slate, metal and glass. Use the timbers for a feature wall, then add a slate shower stall with ambient lighting and floating glass door.
Next carve a chunk of stone into a support column and top with a polished stone slab and vessel-style sink. Attach a contemporary, single-lever faucet, and place a quadrangular mirror with oversized, studded metal frame above.
Finish off with some funky, twisted wire candleholders and towel racks. Oh, and be sure to match the purple candles with the purple towels. Finally, place a wicker basket filled with rattan spheres and a whimsical elongated abstract against one wall.

Stayed at this place on my 7 week road trip across Canada & the U.S.
Drove down near the wharf and walked in hoping they had a room and they did!
Great rooms with the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in.
Very close to shopping and the boardwalk that took me to Dock's Riverfront Grill
that had some excellent food & wine outside on the patio overlooking the marina.
Back at my room the sun was just going down behind the bridge to the U.S. so
I stepped outside to get the pictures below.
All in all a great experience for a road weary traveller like myself!

Arsenal 4-2 Birmingham City 24/06/2012 | FAWSL The official Youtube channel of The FA WSL with exclusive news, match highlights, player profiles and more. Find out more about the FAWSL: http://www.fawsl.com/index.html Like FAWSL on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/FAWSL Arsenal Ladies opened up a five-point gap at the top of the FA Women's Super League table after recording a comfortable 4-2 victory over second-placed Birmingham City Ladies. Both sides had entered Sunday's encounter with unbeaten starts to the league campaign, but it was Arsenal who emerged with that record intact after 90 minutes. After a cagey opening period it was the home side that started to settle, and Arsenal skipper Katie Chapman produced the first effort of the game, but her low drive from the edge of the box was dragged wide. Meanwhile, England international Rachel Yankey grew into the game, terrorising Birmingham down the left-hand side. Arsenal began to carve out chance after chance, with Yankey proving to be the home side's most potent threat. And they came desperately close to breaking the deadlock in the 23rd minute. Yankey's superb floated cross from the left was tipped on to the bar by Birmingham keeper Rebecca Spencer, and the resulting scramble saw the ball clip the angle of the goal and somehow escape to safety. It proved be no surprise when the hosts took the lead just three minutes later. Kim Little arrowed in a corner-kick from the left-hand side, and Gemma Davison rose highest to head home, with Spencer powerless to prevent the ball from thundering into the back of the net. That lead was doubled just three minutes later. The effervescent Yankey sent in a teasing cross, and Spencer could only palm the ball into the path of Kim Little, who lashed the ball in from close-range for her 11th strike of the season. Arsenal began the second half in similar fashion to the way they had ended the first period, and further extended their advantage moments after the interval. Steph Houghton's speculative long-range effort slipped through Spencer's fingers, to ensure a turbulent return to north London for the former Arsenal goalkeeper. However, Birmingham, buoyed by the introduction of England forward Eni Aluko, clawed one back just four minutes later when Rachel Williams ghosted in at the nearpost and nodded the ball past Emma Byrne. Unfortunately for the visitors, any hopes of snatching a share of the spoils were dashed with 21 minutes left on the clock when substitute Jennifer Beattie's looping header restored Arsenal's three-goal lead. Jodie Taylor managed to grab a further consolation for the visitors, majestically curling a sublime effort beyond the reach of Byrne in the 82nd minute, but Arsenal held on to secure a much-deserved victory. Returning Arsenal forward Kelly Smith hailed her side's "professional" display. "Very professional," she said. "I think the first half we really tried to dominate the game. We played it round in nice patches. I think it was quite comfortable for us. A pleasing performance all round really. These are our biggest rivals -- to pick up a win, we're ecstatic really." Despite seeing his side fall five points behind Arsenal, Blues boss David Parker refused to rule out their chances of winning the league. "We're still very much in the title race," he said. "Both teams will drop points, we've just got make sure that we drop less than them. We're probably going to have to beat them at our place now." Line-ups: Arsenal (4-3-3): Byrne; Scott, Flaherty, Grant, Fahey (Beattie 52); Houghton, Chapman, Davison (E White 63); Little, Nobbs (Smith 70), Yankey. Subs not used: Harris, Tracy, Carter, Bragg. Bookings: none. Red cards: none. Birmingham (4-4-2): Spencer; Weston (Christiansen 90), Harrop, Bassett, Unitt (Aluko 45); Carney, Moore, Westwood, Potter; Taylor, Williams.

The 22 rifle bug has bitten me bad..just picked up a Mossberg Itn'l 720 Plinster..that totals 5 22's this month..anyway what I would like to know if for a 22wmr is called for in a rifle ..can I use an CCI Maxi-MAG HP?..exactly what is the difference?..the maxi mag doesnt have the lead tip is about the only difference I can see...Thanks

22 lr is a different cartridge from a 22 WRF (Winchester rimfire) or the 22 WRM (Winchester Rimfire Magnum) WRF and WRM are a larger diameter cartridge case and a larger diameter bullet. So called "mini-mags" or "maxi-mags" are a brand name- they are still 22 LR. The WRF is sort of a "22 Mag Short" and CAN be fired from a 22 Mag. 22 LR cannot- the case will split, and the bullet sorta wobbles down the barrel. 22 WMR will not chamber in a 22 LR firearm.
Now, if THAT did not confuse ya- there are a few.22 Revolvers that have 2 different cylinders- and by swapping cylinders, can shoot either one. Have a Colt Peacemaker Single Action like that. But those are the only ones hat swap. Capish?
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Thanks for the reply C3..I understand about the revolvers and swapping the cyls so one can shoot lr to wrm..I just ordered myself a Heritage RR which has that set up..I guess what I was asking is..can a Marlin rifle I just recently bought which says on barrel " use 22 win mag only" can use just that ammo or can it also use the CCI Maxi-mag also?..since both are "22 Magnum" ammo...Im new to the small calibers and diff types of ammo avail for them and it does have me confused at this point..I also ordered a Henry L/A along with the revolver to have that western setup..I guess my question is what is the diff between WMR AND ICC MAXI-MAGS..if any..can either be used in a gun that requires magnum rounds..I realize there is a difference between the 17 hmr and the 22WMR and cant use the 17HRM..reason I ask is Winchester 22 mags are scarce around here
Maxi-mags are .22 magnum and can safely be fired in any .22 magnum firearm. Mini mags are .22LR and can only be fired from a .22LR firearm. Does that help?
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
Bear got it. The formal name of the cartridge is .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire- no matter WHO makes it- just as the formal name for .38 Special is Smith & Wesson Military & Police .38 Special- no matter who makes it. Your ammo does not need to be made by Winchester- the caliber was INVENTED by Winchester- and that gets naming rights ( like Colt did for the .45 ACP)

SURVEY: LGBT Travel Bouncing Back; New York Is Queer Vacation Capital
Nov 13, 2012
Community Marketing Inc. has released the results of its most recent survey of LGBT travel habits, and the overall trend seems to be that gay travel is on the upswing despite a lackluster global economy: Roughly a third of both gay men and lesbians increased how many times they traveled in the past 12 months.
Other findings of the survey, taken by more than 5,700 LGBT participants, include:
1. Both lesbians and gay men picked warm-weather destinations as their first option for vacation destinations, but lesbians were more likely to choose resorts, beaches and outdoor activities. Gay men were more inclined to opt for cities with more cultural institutions.
2. Nearly 80% of LGBT Americans hold a valid passport. Of that number, 54% of gay men and 47% of lesbians used their passport to travel to another country in the past year. Considering only 30-35% of all Americans even have passports, that's a pretty impressive statistic.
3. Whether a company had a reputation for being gay-friendly had a significant impact on buying purchases, most prominently in retail stores, hotels and destinations themselves.
4. Of U.S. cities visited by LGBT travelers, the most popular were: New York (29%), Chicago and San Francisco (23-24%), Las Vegas, Washington DC and Los Angeles (20-21%). The post popular international destinations were Canada, England, France, Mexico and Spain.
