Coni is an excellent host. Very nice home. I would highly recommend staying here.
This is one of our best airbnb experiences to date! We had a really enjoyable time with Coni and she was really welcoming while we were there. She introduced us to the things we could see and do at the strip and that made our experience all the more enjoyable! The dog is so adorable - she would greet anyone opening the door with hearty barks. Just give her a gentle pet and she'll quiet down and go back to chilling out! Coni also helped us out with extending our stay by one night when we had trouble with our previous accommodation, so we really appreciated the help she gave us!
We had a very good experience at Coni's place. Our flight came in very late, and we were given an advance instruction how to get into the house. Coni is very accommodating, and made us fell at home. Staying with her is like visiting a favorite relative, indeed. She gave us a ride on two occasions from her place to Downtown Las Vegas. Stay with Coni and you will enjoy the hospitality that I experienced.
The room was comfortable and Coni was a great host! The coffee and muffin in the morning was a great way to start my day.
Conis place was great!
Easy to find and get in and out of. Easy on/off the the highway.
Close to lots of restaurants and a 24 hour grocery/deli type store that are all within walking distance. If you are looking for a vegetarian/vegan place to eat I recomend (The Go Raw Cafe). There are two of them in Las Vegas and the one near Conis place is next to a lake. Conis roomate Fred is a nice guy to chat with and we had beer and bacon for breakfast every morning :)
I will stay there again when I visit Las Vegas.
The neighborhood is very quiet. Coni was very welcoming to me and presented me with all the options her house offered. The room pleasantly smelled like Caramel.
My stay at Coni's place was very comfortable. I actually arrived at her place about two hours before I was due to arrive, but that was no problem at all. Coni was not home at that time, but she told me how I could get inside her home and to my room. The room was comfortable and clean. The patio was very lovely and relaxing to be in. After she got home, Coni treated me to a big glass of wine, which was a very nice touch. Thank you, Coni!
The neighbourhood is very quiet and clean and I felt safe there. It is close to coffee shops and a grocery store and some restaurants. It is also very close to the freeway that gets you into the Strip.
I would definitely stay here again if I came back to the Las Vegas area and would recommend this place to my freinds and family.

About the Host, Coni
I am a professional consultant, author and coach with a real love of cooking, art, music and people. I recently released my new book "Crystalline Moments" on Jan 15, 2015! I am very excited about helping people find their opportunities in their own Crystalline Moments!!
In my professional career I have had the opportunity to do extensive travel and love meeting new people. My roommate Fred has been a family friend for 30+ years and also loves to cook and meet new people. We look forward to meeting you. When you stay with us our home is your home. One of our favorite meals is to prepare is breakfast so you are in for a real treat. I live by my life philosophy which is "have fun, give back make a little money" in that order.
We love things about Las Vegas that many people don't know about. For example, did you know there is great skiing less than an hour from the Strip. Also, there are beautiful canyons all around for great hiking or just sight seeing. We would love to show you some of these places if you want to see something other than the casinos. The famous Las Vegas Strip is world renown but now the downtown area has been turned into a destination place also with the Smith Center, the Mob Museum and many more attractions. The casinos have been renovated and offer some of the best restaurants in town. One of the most famous is Oscars named after our infamous Mayor Oscar Goodman. It is like walking back in time to the elegant 50's.
We love Las Vegas for its diversity and want to share it with our guests!

Gwinnett players are Awe-struck
ESTERO - Imagine having to get in the way of a hockey puck traveling over 100 miles-per-hour — on purpose, every day in practice, without the added protection goaltenders get to wear.
For Gwinnett Gladiators rookie forward Colton Fretter, it was his job to be on the receiving end of defenseman Jon Awe's slap shot during penalty killing drills until he broke his ankle a little over a week ago against the Florida Everblades.
And it wasn't a picnic.
"I've taken a few in the back, a few in the side, a few everywhere, and it's not very fun to get in front of," Fretter said, admitting Awe holds back a little in practice. "He better hold back, but still I don't want to get in front of it."
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Awe not only set an ECHL record at last month's All-Star Skills Competition in Boise, Idaho when he ripped one clocked at 102.2, but he also beat out the NHL's hardest shooter, Boston's Zdeno Chara. The 6-9, 260-pound defenseman from the Czech Republic fired one 100.4 miles-per-hour at the NHL skills competition.
Awe hails from Memphis and was up with the American Hockey League's Chicago Wolves when Chara failed to beat him. The Wolves were playing in Iowa and he did not see it, but got a call from his father telling him all about it. He credits the work he put into his swing for his success, which has resulted in a league-leading 17 power-play goals prior to Friday night's game at Florida.
"It's a timing thing," Awe said. "I think it has to do with everything, obviously the right form, the right placement of the puck and obviously hip drive through the puck. Any of those three things, you put them in line, anybody can shoot it that hard. My golf swing has helped, although I played a whole round of golf the Happy Gilmore style and didn't do too well."
Winning the hardest shot competition is old hat to Awe, having done it in college at Northeastern University and juniors. During practice, he tries to give his teammates a break with some wristers now and then, but he still lets one go every once in a while to stay sharp.
Opposing players dread going out on the penalty kill charged with the responsibility of trying to block Awe's shot on the way to the net, but they know it's part of the game. Awe remembers hitting an Alaska Aces player right on top of the laces of his skate and he said the player "went down like a ton of bricks.' Everblades forward Dustin Johner can sympathize.
"I've been there and I took a pretty good one in the ankle, and it doesn't feel good, I'll tell you that much," he said. "But when you get out there, especially if you block one, maybe he'll hesitate the next time and not take that shot. You've got to do what you do and if it misses you then you just hope that you're goaltender's going to be there to back you up."
When everyone was healthy and not on recall with Chicago, Awe, Fretter, Mike Vigilante, Brad Schell and Scott Mifsud made up easily the league's best power-play unit. Between the speed of Awe's shot and the skill level of Schell — the league's leading scorer with 96 points — Mifsud and Fretter, there are no real weaknesses.
Fretter talked about the challenge of deciding whether or not to focus on Awe at the point and risk letting himself, Schell, or Mifsud get open near the net. Awe's shot creates so many rebounds when it does it through, or just flat out goes in the net, that it becomes frustrating for the opposing goaltender.
"It surprises me when Awe scores me from the blue line on goalies in the league when they're not screened, but I guess I can say that because I'm used to his shot and see it every day in practice," said Gladiators rookie goaltender Dan Turple. "I guess if you're not facing a shot that hard on a daily basis it would be a little deceiving in a game against us."
Fretter summed it up best when he recalled the most common thing he's heard from opposing players after games.
"'I don't want to get in front of the net,' that's what all our guys were saying at the All-Star Game, the guys that we play in the conference," he said. "They all felt sorry for me that I have to stand in front of it all the time, and obviously we haven't seen anyone with a harder shot this year in all three leagues (NHL, AHL and ECHL)."

WASHINGTON -- Here is what we have gotten with John McCain's vice presidential selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, picked in part for her extreme anti-abortion credentials: an exquisite endorsement of the pro-choice argument.
Seventeen-year-old Bristol Palin's pregnancy is, according to the talking points uttered incessantly by Republicans, a private family matter in which it is paramount that the teenager and those closest to her choose the course her life will now take. In the Palin family choice, this means a quick marriage to the child's teenage father and, with luck and fortitude, a (mostly) happily-ever-after future.
President Bush "believes that this is a private family matter," says White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. The talking points circulated at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn., are in remarkable concurrence: "This is a very personal matter for the family," a suggested script distributed to delegates and leaked to the press says.
No pro-choice activist could say it better.
For years, those who strive to keep abortion as a legal and safe option for women and girls who are confronted with unplanned pregnancies -- as well as pregnancies that go terribly awry medically -- have argued precisely this point.
The decision on what to do about such matters should be left to a woman, her doctor, her family and her God. No one -- absolutely no one -- who supports keeping abortion legal would interfere in any way with Bristol Palin's decision to carry her pregnancy to term. In fact, organizations such as Planned Parenthood would provide her with proper prenatal care if she needed it.
But some believe that subjects such as a teenager's sex life, a rape victim's traumatic pregnancy or even a married woman's right to get her birth-control prescription filled should be decided not in the privacy of family conversation but in the cacophony of politics.
Who are these cruelly intrusive people? Those in the anti-abortion movement.
Sarah Palin is an iconic figure to the most extreme elements of that movement. She has said she opposes abortion in every instance except those in which there is "a doctor's determination that the mother's life would end if the pregnancy continued," according to a questionnaire for the conservative Eagle Forum that she answered during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign.
Palin would demand that a rape victim carry her rapist's child to term. A married woman whose husband beats her blue would be required to deliver his child. So would an impoverished mother who can barely feed those already in her care. And so would a woman undergoing chemotherapy, or one whose health is threatened by any disease or chronic condition. She, too, would have to carry a pregnancy to term unless it literally would kill her.
In the name of protecting fetuses at every stage -- even before implantation in the uterus, the point when doctors agree that a pregnancy begins -- anti-abortion radicals have blockaded and firebombed clinics. Activists have applauded inquisitors who've sought to rummage through the medical files of women who have had abortions, under the guise of investigating whether doctors might be performing them in contravention of certain state restrictions. They have sought to make it harder for women even to obtain birth-control pills, forcing them to argue with objecting pharmacists in all the privacy afforded by a drugstore aisle. Just days ago, the Bush administration put forth a new rule that would allow objecting health care workers to refuse to tell rape victims about the availability of emergency contraception or refuse to dispense ordinary birth control pills.
Anti-abortion activists promote a policy of official meddling -- yes, by government bureaucrats -- into the private lives of millions of American women, and the lives of their husbands and boyfriends. Their pleas to now give the Palin family privacy in one of its most difficult moments are easily understood and no doubt supported by every American who has ever had a family crisis. That is, by all of us.
No one who supports abortion rights would wish for any unmarried, 17-year-old girl to become pregnant. No advocate of abortion rights would even suggest that a teenager in Bristol's situation should terminate the pregnancy without weighing her own conscience and deciding, with her family, on her own course.
And yes, we believe she should make her decisions in a private cocoon, embraced by loving family and friends. We just wish that anti-abortion crusaders would afford every family the same respect for privacy they now demand for one of their own.

You could get a great deal on a new Honda Pilot
Well, at least as it is in the books. If they decide to bring it up in the movies, it might be different (in fact, in the case of HHH I, it would have to be, as he's pretty much HTTYD1 Hiccup, and HHH II is pretty similar to Valka in some ways) but, as it is in the books (as I remember and as the HTTYDWiki says):
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I was prophesied to kill the dragon Merciless, and so a dragon was sent to kill him. However, he instead befriended the dragon, becoming the first human to learn the dragon language, Dragonese, and ride on a dragon. The dragon, Wodensfang, was also the first dragon to learn to speak Norse. Although he was the first to bridge the gap between Vikings and dragons, he is not looked upon completely favorably, as he is credited with losing the Hooligan tribe their place on the mainland and forcing them onto Berk. He was also the first King of the Wilderwest, essentially a king of all Vikings and dragons (which I REALLY REALLY hope they bring into the third movie like come on)
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II was abandoned as a baby for being a runt (or "hiccup", hence the name) and found and adopted by dragons, growing up as one of them. When reunited with his father years later, he was taken in again and put back in line for the chiefdom. However, at this time dragons were once again hated by Vikings, so he decided to prove how they weren't dangerous by bringing some peacefully to Berk. His father, however, still believed them to be dangerous, and a battle ensued in which Hiccup II was killed. In his grief, his father disbanded the Kingdom of the Wilderwest and renounced his title. Hiccup's adopted dragon brother Furious buried his brother and mourned for years before being captured and imprisoned by Vikings even less hospitable than Berk, which caused him to go on a downward spiral that essentially turned him into a creature not unlike Drago's Bewilderbeast, complete with a form of mind control. He's eventually the main villain of the last books in the series.
So yeah, that's it for the best of my knowledge. Probably messed something up somewhere but eh. Whatever. I really hope they bring some version of them into the movies- Hiccup becoming King of the Wilderwest would be the perfect ending to the trilogy! (I mean, come on: first movie, becomes the dragon-human peacemaker; second, chief of Berk, third, king of all Vikings. Perf.)
hiccup being king of all vikings in the third movie is all i need

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Theoretically you need to write your own Android.mk and Application.mk files such a way that your Android application can handle the generated so files and wrap them.
You need to check the Android-NDK documentation.
You can also use the Bambuser's ffmpeg port for Android.

W Magazine's Jane Larkworthy is Bluefly's Latest Closest Confessor
Bluefly.com launched W Magazine's Beauty Director, Jane Larkworthy, as the latest confessor in their popular Closet Confessions video series (Bluefly.com/Closets). Giving viewers an exclusive look into Larkworthy's Private life and quintessential Manhattan apartment, Bluefly gets up close and personal with the much loved and endearingly quirky beauty guru. Larkworthy also teamed up with Bluefly's flash sale site, BelleandClive.com, to curate a special collection of her must-have items, available on the site for a limited time only.
Filmed in Manhattan, Larkworthy shares some of her top beauty tips, fashion faux pas and all-time favorite vintage finds. From her Gucci loafers and Chanel ballet flats to her gold YSL skirt and beloved Hermès dress, Larkworthy describes her style as "classic, easy and very badly accessorized". Also granted access to her "beauty lab", Bluefly discovers Larkworthy's tricks for testing out the thousands of beauty products that get sent her way.
In addition to Larkworthy's Closet Confession, she has curated an exclusive boutique inspired by her personal style and love of vintage designers on Belle & Clive, launching later today. Shoppers will have access to a selection of designer bags, jewelry and fragrances, all hand-picked by the W Magazine Beauty Director.
Jane Larkworthy joins a diverse cast of past confessors including actress Kerry Washington, blogging phenom Leandra Medine, model Chanel Iman, stylist Brad Goreski, and Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel. Since its launch in April 2010, Closet Confessions has grown into a fashion and pop-culture phenomenon. Clocking more than 3 million views and snagging the 2010 Fashion 2.0 Award for Best Online Video, the series has driven record spikes in traffic. Jane's video was directed by Brian Quist, a documentary filmmaker who has worked with luminaries ranging from The Dalai Lama to Natalie Portman and with global brands such as Lancôme, Michael Kors, Allure Magazine, Vanity Fair and Vogue.
Founded in 1998, Bluefly, Inc. is a leading online retailer of designer brands, fashion trends and superior value. In 2011, Bluefly expanded its portfolio, launching Belle & Clive, a members-only shopping destination that presents highly-curated selections of important brands like Christian Louboutin, Gucci, and Prada via limited-time sale events.

Islamic feminismposted by Jake Alter
Is secular feminism feasible in the Middle East and throughout the Muslim-majority nations of the world? Isobel Coleman, a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, argues that it cannot subsist on its own and that it must be allied with a form of Islamic feminism. In her most recent book, Paradise Beneath Her Feet: How Women are Transforming the Middle East, she argues that we are already witnessing the emergence of many progressive social movements within the Islamic world.
Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah dies at age 75posted by Jake Alter
Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, the influential and controversial Lebanese Shi'i spiritual leader, died Sunday morning in Beirut at age 75. Though his oft-attributed spiritual leadership of the political party/militant group Hezbollah has been called into question, he was a vastly influential marja (a Shi'i religious authority) throughout the Shi'i world community. He was considered a terrorist by much of the Western world with ties to the "1983 bombings of two barracks in Beirut in which 241 United States Marines and 58 French paratroopers were killed." He narrowly escaped assassination attempts in 1985 and 2006. While he sympathized with terrorist inclinations and vehemently spoke out against the U.S. and Israel, he also supported many progressive Islamic notions. He advocated for women's rights, was well respected in the female community, and spoke out against the Iranian model.
Not just a bill to support women's rights or secular valuesposted by Amanda Kaplan
On July 13, French parliament will vote on a bill to ban burqa-style veils in the name of gender equality and secular values. More than advocating for women's rights and a "state-sanctioned Islam that respects the secular state," this particular version of the bill also implicates "husbands and fathers who impose such veils on female family members."
Traditionalism and female subordination in churchposted by Amanda Kaplan
In her article, "The Persistence of Patriarchy," subtitled Hard to believe, but some churches are still talking about male headship, founding member of the Evangelical and Ecumenical Women's Caucus, Anne Eggebroten laments the institutionalized gender inequality still present in some Christian services and lifestyles.
Religion and women's rights: strange bedfellows?posted by Annie Hardison-Moody
While in the past women's human rights activists have admitted a certain skepticism about religion, my recent experience at the UN Commission on the Status of Women meeting and the US National Committee for UNIFEM annual meeting tell a slightly different story. As I heard at several panel discussions, religious organizations are still seen by some as "strange bedfellows" in terms of serving as partners in work related to violence against women. However, religious actors and organizations are increasingly being invited to the table and "religion" and "culture" are becoming an integral part of the conversation. This makes me wonder. . . . what does a turn to these "strange bedfellows" of religion and culture do for women's human rights?
Religion and women's rights in the British electionsposted by Sam Han
Over at openDemocracy, Rahila Gupta discusses the significance of the upcoming British elections with respect to women's rights and religion. While casual observers of British politics on this side of the Atlantic view New Labour as more liberal or progressive (at least on the issues of gender), Gupta argues that it is not so, especially when one looks at the uptick in state-funding for religious schools under New Labour, which she suggests has been catastrophic for the cause of women's rights and the rights of minority women in particular.

On Turkish laicismposted by Markus Dressler
In a somewhat surprising move, Turkey's Constitutional Court announced today in a very close vote its decision to not ban the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP)—which was facing charges of threatening the laicist order of the country—but only to cut its financial state support. Despite the relatively moderate decision, the verdict presented by the President of the Constitutional Court sent a clear warning to the AKP that the judiciary will not tolerate any subversion of the laicist order.

An Islamic case for a secular stateposted by Charles Kurzman
If the state is going to enforce any principle from Islamic sources, according to Abdullahi An-Na'im, then it should implement the principle that the state should not enforce Islamic principles. This is the crux of An-Na'im's new book, Islam and the Secular State: Negotiating the Future of Shari'a. An-Na'im, a renowned Islamic scholar and human rights activist, is a leading member of the generation of Muslim intellectuals that came to prominence in the 1980s as critics of both Islamist revolutionaries and post-colonial dictators. According to An-Na'im, the secular state is not just a good thing on public-policy grounds; it is also justified on Islamic grounds. […]
The headscarf and citizenship in Turkeyposted by Ayse Kadioglu
In Turkey, the headscarf is usually taken as an emblem of tradition and backwardness, and its removal from public life is associated with modernization and progress. Such an approach to the headscarf turns the issue into an insoluble problem. […]
The headscarf controversyposted by Binnaz Toprak
The analysis of the headscarf controversy cannot simply be based on arguments of liberal politics. Rather, it has to be analyzed within its historical context. In Turkey, the headscarf has assumed a symbolic character that refers to different historical memories and different understandings of modernity. For both sides of this conflict, the headscarf is at the center of the debate because the debate is, in its essence, about gender relations.
A headscarf affair, a women's affair?posted by Nilüfer Göle
Women who are proponents of the headscarf distance themselves from secular models of feminist emancipation, but also seek autonomy from male interpretations of Islamic precepts. They represent a rupture of the frame both of secular female self-definitions and religious male prescriptions. They want to have access to secular education, follow new life trajectories that are not in conformity with traditional gender roles, and yet fashion and assert a new pious self. They are searching for ways to become Muslim and modern at the same time, transforming both.
New freedoms in Turkey — for whom?posted by Jenny White
Turkey's ban of the headscarf on university campuses — rather than the headscarf itself — has become a serious impediment to women's participation in economic and professional life. Three-quarters of Turkey's female population covers in some fashion. The ruling Muslim-inflected Justice and Development Party (known by its Turkish acronym AKP) made a deal this week with the nationalist MHP in parliament to secure enough votes to eliminate the ban. […]
Gender equality and Islamic headscarvesposted by Joan Wallach Scott
In Turkey there is now a great deal of controversy about proposed revisions to the constitution that would include lifting the ban on the wearing of Islamic headscarves in universities. Many commentators have taken this to be an ominous sign of the intention of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and President Abdullah Gul, who represent the Justice and Development Party (AKP), to undermine Turkey's secular republic in the interests of establishing an Islamist state. In Turkey, as elsewhere in Europe, the headscarf has become a symbol not only of political Islam, but of the oppression of women. […]

1999 Chrysler Concorde Q&A
1999 Chrysler Concorde Question: How do you take the water pump off ?
My car keeps overheating and i need to take off the water pump. - Visitor
Answer 1
REMOVAL The water pump on all models can be replaced without discharging the air conditioning system. NOTE: It is normal for the water pump to weep a small amount of coolant from the weep hole (black stain at weep passage). Do not replace the water pump if this condition exists. Replace the water pump if a heavy deposit or a steady flow of engine coolant is evident on side of the cylinder block from the weep hole passage (shaft seal failure). Be sure to perform a thorough analysis before replacing water pump. WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE PRESSURE CAP WITH THE SYSTEM HOT AND PRESSURIZED. SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN RESULT. Drain cooling system. Remove upper radiator crossmember. Remove fan module. Remove accessory and air conditioning drive belts. NOTE: The water pump is driven by the primary timing chain. Remove crankshaft damper, timing chain cover, primary timing chain, and all chain guides. Fig. 19 Remove bolts attaching water pump to block (Fig. 19). Remove water pump and gasket. INSTALLATION Clean all sealing surfaces. Install water pump and gasket. Tighten mounting bolts to 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.) . Install timing chain guides, timing chain, timing chain cover, and crankshaft damper. Install accessory drive belts. Install fan module and upper radiator crossmember. Fill cooling system. Not a job for home. very labor intensive. Roy - mastertech6371

'What do you think of the Jill Abramson firing?" my dentist asked as she pressed a long scary needle into my gum to numb the tooth she was about to drill. "Ouch!" I cried, from the instant pain of the needle — and the lingering pain of the firing.
As most everybody knows, Jill Abramson, the first female executive editor of The New York Times, was summarily fired on May 14 by Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., publisher of the newspaper. At first he simply told the newsroom that the paper needed new leadership and that managing editor Dean Baquet would replace Abramson, after her less than three-year tenure as the paper's head. In no time, her name was removed from the Times masthead, and all her connections to the paper severed. A few days later, Sulzberger elaborated on the firing by citing complaints from her colleagues about her "arbitrary decision-making" and "failure to consult" others.
Since then, many stories have surfaced about the abrupt and humiliating way the paper ousted Abramson and the reasons behind it. Apparently she angered Sulzberger by hiring a lawyer to investigate her claim that she was being paid less than her predecessor, Bill Keller. The Times has denied a pay discrepancy, but the facts remain unclear. According to another report, she didn't tell Baquet that she had hired Janine Gibson as a deputy managing editor alongside him to pursue the paper's digital efforts. An angry Baquet complained to Sulzberger, precipitating Abramson's firing. Again, it is hard for outsiders to evaluate what really happened. What is not hard to determine and what has riled many women and some men, has been what appears to be — still — a double standard in the treatment of women and men in the workplace.
It is old news that language describing personality traits differs according to gender: women are "pushy," men "ambitious"; women "aggressive," men "determined"; women "brusque," men "direct." Golda Meir has been criticized as self-righteous; Moshe Dayan admired for his self-confidence. From all reports, Abramson was a difficult boss, and staff members grumbled about her. But so was A.M. Rosenthal difficult, and he reigned as executive editor of the Times for 17 years. Another executive editor, Howell Raines, terrorized his staff, but was forced out only because of a plagiarism scandal involving one of his reporters. And Sulzberger gave him a warm sendoff when he left. If Abramson ruffled feathers, she also collected eight Pulitzer prizes for her paper, increased ad revenues substantially and became a hero to young women, whom she mentored and encouraged in the newsroom.
Last week, on Shavuot, we read in synagogue about an early Jewish hero, Ruth, who treated her mother-in-law, Naomi, with loving-kindness. For centuries Ruth represented the ideal for women to emulate. She was modest, gentle and obedient. She was also courageous, going into the fields alone to seek out Boaz, the man who would protect her and Naomi. Yet, as women before and after her have done, she won her man's affection by demurely using her womanly wiles, never threatening or overtly challenging, consistently placing herself submissively in his care. Over the past decades, women have moved far from the self-effacing Ruth. They have taken on high-powered jobs in business and politics, education and the arts. Yet that idealized image of them as dependent, feminine, warm and fuzzy, has remained embedded in the collective consciousness.
On a dangerous level that embedded image of women has made them prey to certain kinds of men, who expect them to be passive and conforming. The recent murder spree of Elliot Rodger, who killed six people because he felt rejected by women, opened a national conversation about the distorted, sexist views plenty of men still hold. That includes men in the Jewish community and outside it who abuse their wives, because they demand total docility from these women.
On an everyday, professional level, women may have crashed through the glass ceiling, but they still haven't changed the culture — even in that rarified realm. People still expect women to be likeable and non-threatening, less openly ambitions than men. The Times did not fire Jill Abramson because she is a woman; Sulzberger was happy to name a woman as executive editor and viewed it as a historic event, just as he is now happy have in Baquet the first African-American executive editor. Unfortunately, Abramson was not the kind of woman he wanted. She was outspoken, brash and demanding. She wanted equal pay with men and was willing to go to bat for that. Would a man have been fired for the same behavior she displayed? A lot of women think not, and that is why so many reacted to her firing with shock, anger and despair, as my dentist did, as I did.
Ouch, indeed!
Francine Klagsbrun's latest book is "The Fourth Commandment: Remember the Sabbath Day." She is currently writing a biography of Golda Meir.

Do you know how many male executives, scientists, and professionals at the highest levels were fired last year? I don't because I don't obsess in a pathological manner about that issue, but I am certain it is done regularly. In our culture, most of the time, excellent performers, regardless of gender, get to keep their jobs, workers with deficiencies sometimes get fired - even chief executive officers. I don't believe the firing of Jill Abramson had anything to do with her gender. The fact is: she had as much influence on the culture at the NYT as anyone in the organization. The problem is: many people think the NYT is out of touch with the general public who want unbiased news and analysis. People don't want to support the leftist propaganda which the Times puts out. Someone had to be fired because the paper stinks. This time it was Jill.

Princess Diana In A Polka Dot Dress While Introducing Prince William To The World4 Share Tweet
History repeats itself decades later as Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, also steps out in a polka dot dress after giving birth to the Royal Baby, Prince George of Cambridge.
On June 21, 1982, William Arthur Philip Louis was born to Charles, Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales. Princess Di was wearing a green polka dot dress upon leaving St. Mary's Hospital, London when she and Prince Charles presented Prince William to the world.
Thirty-one years later and on July 22, the Duke of Cambridge, second in line to the British throne, watches as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, introduces their son, George Alexander Louis, in a similar blue polka dot dress. Prince George of Cambridge is now third in line to succeed Queen Elizabeth II.
Living up to the hype of Diana certainly puts a lot of pressure on Kate Middleton but we think she's taking it all in stride and with grace. Congratulations to the royal family!
