Oh that's awful Erosa
I hope those days are over.
Oppression to me is always present. I see it everyday. Feel it everyday and no doubt dish it out everyday. Perhaps some perceive me to be oppressive because of unconscious actions I take or just how I express myself. To me it is a completely human trait that is not seen in nature. It's that niggley thing that makes us cruel to each other. Of course that can be on a larger scale with larger populations also.
As a poly person I try and keep tabs on my feelings of self righteousness that poly rocks! It's a bit of a balance however as I see people in my life struggling with their relationship dynamics and I have to keep myself in check about giving them space to receive my way of life rather than shove it down their throat as I think I am "right" about their relationships. Sure I feel like I am a bit of an authority on relationships and good communication. As it is a passion of mine and a life goal to perfect it for myself, but that doesn't mean others have chosen that. In fact a lot of people seem to be just trying to get through that aspect of life in order to balance out their comfort.
As a woman I experience oppression daily. As a poly woman I experience it also in terms of what traditional roles are and how I have two men to satisfy. Some of my female friends chose to think I am crazy. They see men as children that need to be coddled and in some way forgiven for their short comings about not being able to multitask, or for whining that they don't get to go out on their motorbike because they have to mow the lawn etc... talk about reverse oppression! If that is a term? I dunno, maybe I made it up?!
Some of my women friends think that I am a princess in a gilded cage that is taken care of by her two men. They think I am somehow owned by them as a toy they play with. These women I wonder, might wonder, what makes me so special that I have two men? What's her secret that she can be waited on hand and foot in some kind of condescending way. What has she given up in order to do so... in other words they think I am oppressed by either version they believe.
I could go on, as I have a lot more to say, but I will leave it at that for now as I want to hear others first.
Besides Mono is here chatting my ear off ....grrrrr
he's oppressing me by with incessant talking. Hahaha! heh

Why don't the goalkeepers give the ball to their own side?
by Hunter Davies Published
What do they do all day? This thought struck me last Saturday afternoon. It is only a part-time job: mornings only, home every afternoon, feet up in front of the telly, then three months off in the summer, so it must always be a problem for the petals, putting in the hours, putting in the days.
I tell a lie. It will be only two months off this summer, because the season continues until 19 May, and then pre-season training starts around mid-July. All the same, two full months with nothing to do, on top of all the other time off in which they are doing . . . well, what are they doing?
Yes, I know they have to count their money. That can be quite time-consuming if you've got £40,000 coming in every week. It is easy to envy modern players and their big wads, but everyone with money will tell you that having cash pouring in on a regular basis demands constant attention. Spending it is hard when you have so much, investing it is hellish when there are so many chancers trying to get their hands on it. When they ask me, as they often do, I always say the same thing: put it into property, lads, which you can see and keep an eye on. Ignore any tax-free, fancy accountancy schemes in the Caymans.
Then there are the cars. That also takes a lot of thought. Not just deciding which to buy, but deciding which to drive. My chum Dwight Yorke faces this dilemma every time he goes out. He likes to use his Ferrari when it's sunny or if he's going somewhere exciting. His Range Rover is for when it's grey and wet. His Mercedes is for going to business meetings. But what happens when he wakes up, hears that the weather forecast is for showers, and he's going to a business meeting that could turn out to be exciting? You see. It's not easy being a player today. So I have answered my own question about what they do all day. But what I was really thinking about was the time spent training.
The question popped into my head at Highbury, when Arsenal got a free kick just on the edge of the Middlesbrough penalty area. The referee, Paul Durkin, put his foot over the ball and waited. And waited. And waited. A good 20 seconds elapsed before Robert Pires got his arse into gear. He stared around, wondering which team he was playing for, what country he was in, and then ambled over. He totally wasted it.
It is remarkable how so many teams this season are crap at dead-ball situations. It seems that no tactic has been worked out in training, no player designated to take control. It's as if each time they get a corner or free kick, it is a complete surprise.
We know that, when he is playing, Beckham takes them for Man Utd, because they are a well-organised team, though his free kicks have been poor this season. But Arsenal are hopeless, with no apparent plans, apart from letting Pires and Silvinho talk among themselves as to who'll miss. Liverpool are not much better. One of the reasons why Leeds have done so well this season is that Ian Harte has emerged as their dead-ball specialist. And the rest of the team know what to do.
It is hard to figure out what the rest of our top teams and top players have been doing in training all season, or in their footballing lives so far. They've known, or hoped, since the age of eight that they would end up as professional players, yet only 5 per cent can kick properly with both feet. Why didn't they train themselves?
As for goalkeepers, in every game I am astounded at how often they just belt the ball upfield, fingers crossed, eyes closed. In theory, the chance of their own team getting the ball is 50-50. The theory being - take this bit slowly - that there are only two teams, so our lot are bound to get it half the time. But they rarely do. By my reckoning, it's more like 60-40 to the opposition. Yet they keep on doing it.
Fabien Barthez is a good goalkeeper because his instinct is always to kick or throw short, not belt it blindly upfield. The theory - take this even slower - is that if you give it to one of your own team, the chance of getting possession is 100 per cent. So these were my thoughts, as I wondered about all those hours our players spend training, without ending up trained. Running, yes; fitness and stuff, yup; but actually working on tactics, norralot.
I have observed some of our top clubs in training, and they are very fond of shooting at cardboard cut-outs. That could be the problem. Come the game, the other team moves and it ruins everything.
My next thought, after Pires had wasted that free kick, was to look up at the boxes underneath the clock stand and think: what do they do all day, those luxury boxes? When we all go home, what happens to them?
All over the country, we now have palatial stadia, with fantastic facilities, costing trillions, yet they are used only once a fortnight for nine months of the year. They have kitchens and lavatories, so why can't people live in them? Great views of a green field, no traffic and dead quiet. I'd take one. There are also hospitality suites, which could house entire hospitals. The residents would merely have to move out, or neatly pack their clothes away, for 90 minutes every two weeks.
Then I came home and had a lie down. No one can say that football is not stimulating. But sometimes my little brain can handle only so many questions . . .

Test, Measure, Repeat, Succeed—In Stores
When e-commerce really started to take off a few years back, it didn't take cross-channel retailers long to realize the incredible value of the channel's traceability. Behind the scenes, e-commerce site data—down to the click—was analyzed and scrutinized like a UFO at Area 51. Data scientists in lab coats crunched numbers and ran A/B tests under the watchful eyes of suit-clad executives, all unbeknownst to the customer. And thus, in a matter of months, the retail industry learned more about consumer demand patterns than it had in a hundred years.

Overcoming The Overwhelming In Mobile Retailing
Deloitte's annual report, Global Powers of Retailing, focuses this year's theme on innovation. The report takes a deep dive into how retailers are using innovations to address the various changes impacting their businesses. Not surprisingly, one of the top five trends discussed in the report is the proliferation of mobile retailing. Indeed, Deloitte reports a projected 65% of the global population will be using a mobile phone in 2015 and an estimated 83% of Internet usage will be through handheld devices, and that mobile payments and location-based marketing will play a larger role in the coming year. As such, retailers are taking actions to accommodate the customer's affinity for mobile.

Dwight says a lot of things, but they don't necessarily come true. At least he has confidence that the Lakers, who have barely shown the ability to put together three or four wins in a row, can string together nine at the end of the season. Here is his quote via Sports Glory. "We need every game," Howard said after practice Monday. "We just got to come out and play with the right intensity, the right effort for 48 minutes and we should win all these games." Lakers are hanging on to that 8th spot by a thread, so while they might not need to go 9-0, if they lose too many, they will be watching the playoffs from home.

The results show that the Amazon store (for the Kindle Fire) is earning more revenue per user than iTunes, but both markets are much more profitable than Google Play. "We were once in the same situation that most developers find themselves in," wrote TinyCo's director of business development, Jennifer Lu, in her report on Tiny Village. "80-90 percent of our time and resource was focused on iOS leaving little for Android, our games worked perfectly on iOS but crashed on Android, and our Android version lacked many of the features found on iOS. Furthermore, with the complexity of Android's device fragmentation, we needed to be spending even more time on our Android version than our iOS version in order to maintain the same game quality and performance, which we clearly were not doing." App analytics and traffic acquisitions company Flurry released a similar report earlier in the year that also showed Amazon gaining traction as a viable app platform, but its data on Google Play's average revenue per paying user (ARPU) was much lower than TinyCo's. Where Flurry represents Google Play at 23 percent of the iTunes store's ARPU, TinyCo's results showed the marketplace at 65 percent of iTunes total ARPU. This percentage combines all Android and iOS devices, but if the field is narrowed to only look at the revenue produced by smartphones, Google Play leaps to a whopping 82 percent. TinyCo's and Flurry's reports both agree that the Amazon marketplace is steadily gaining momentum. If the iOS app store is still used as a revenue benchmark, TinyCo's report shows that Amazon's ARPU is actually 180 percent, 80 percent higher than Apple's. Flurry's results showed Amazon at a modest 89 percent, but the dramatic difference between it and Google Play hints at a rise in the Amazon market's profitability. TinyCo was able to collect their data by observing trends on all three platforms. Tiny Village was released simultaneously in each marketplace and is currently a top-grossing app across the board. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Low Blood Pressure articles
Lower systolic blood pressure reduces stroke risk
Older people with systolic blood pressure lower than 140 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) have a lower risk of stroke, revealed in a study study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2015.
Sunlight may help to reduce blood pressure
Exposing skin to sunlight may help to reduce blood pressure and thus cut the risk of heart attack and stroke, a study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology suggests. Research carried out at the Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh shows that sunlight alters levels of the small messenger molecule, nitric oxide (NO) in the skin and blood, reducing blood pressure.
Sunlight helps to reduce blood pressure and prolong life
Exposing skin to sunlight may help to reduce blood pressure, cut the risk of heart attack and stroke and even prolong life. Researchers have shown that when our skin is exposed to the sun's rays, a compound is released in our blood vessels that helps lower blood pressure.
A cup of beetroot juice daily lowers blood pressure
A cup of beetroot juice a day may help reduce your blood pressure, revealed researchers. People with high blood pressure who drank about 8 ounces of beetroot juice experienced a decrease in blood pressure of about 10 mm Hg. But the preliminary findings don't yet suggest that supplementing your diet with beetroot juice benefits your health.
Low birth weight may increase heart disease and kidney disease risk
Being underweight at birth may have consequences above and beyond the known short-term effects says a research report. The report shows that rats with a low birth weight have an increased long-term risk for developing cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and diabetes.
Obesity may lead to impaired brain function
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with cognitive and brain impairments in adolescents and calls for pediatricians to take this into account when considering the early treatment of childhood obesity. As childhood obesity has increased in the U.S., so has the prevalence of metabolic syndrome ? a constellation of three or more of five defined health problems, including abdominal obesity, low HDL (good cholesterol), high triglycerides, high blood pressure and pre-diabetic insulin resistance.
Poor sleep quality increases blood pressure
People with the lowest level of slow wave sleep (SWS) had an 80 percent increased risk of developing high blood pressure. Sleep disorders and poor quality sleep are more common in older adults than in younger ones.
Soy milk protein dietary supplements lower blood pressure
Milk and soy protein supplements were associated with lower systolic blood pressure compared to refined carbohydrate dietary supplements. The study's results suggest that partly replacing refined carbohydrates with foods or drinks high in soy or milk protein may help prevent and treat high blood pressure, said Jiang He, M.D., Ph.D., lead researcher of the study in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Higher education or advanced degrees lower blood pressure in women
Freshmen on the eve of finals and graduate students staring down a thesis committee may not feel this way, but the privilege of obtaining an advanced education correlates with decades of lower blood pressure, according to a study led by a public health researcher at Brown University. The benefit appears to be greater for women than for men.
Drinking less soda beverage may lower high blood pressure
Researchers have found that there is an association between sugary drinks and blood pressure and that by cutting daily consumption of sugary drinks by just one serving a day, people can lower their blood pressure.
Chocolate reduces blood pressure and heart disease risk
Easter eggs and other chocolate may be good for you ? at least in small quantities and preferably if it's dark chocolate ? according to research that shows just one small square of chocolate a day can lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Safely reduce BP in patients with diabetes and heart disease
New study revealed that there is an increased risk of heart attack and stroke for patients having blood pressure either too high or too low. Systolic blood pressure above 120 in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease is safer. Levels between 130 and 140 appear to be the most healthful.
Low carb diet effective at lowering blood pressure
In a head-to-head comparison, two popular weight loss methods proved equally effective at helping participants lose significant amounts of weight. But, in a surprising twist, a low-carbohydrate diet proved better at lowering blood pressure than the weight-loss drug orlistat.
Statin and BP drug combo ALL prevents heart attack and stroke
Low-cost drugs ? a cholesterol-lowering statin and a blood pressure-lowering drug ? as daily doses to 68,560 people with diabetes or heart disease for two years is estimated to have prevented 1,271 heart attacks and strokes.
Vegetable proteins lower blood pressure
Consuming glutamic acid - an amino acid commonly found in vegetable protein - may be associated with lower blood pressure, researchers report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Sinus infection rhinosinusitis may lead to toxic shock syndrome
Rhinosinusitis (infection and inflammation in the sinus passages surrounding the nose) appears to be a primary factor in about one-fifth of toxic shock syndrome cases in children.
Middle aged women experience more stress
Both blood pressure and serum lipid levels have improved in Swedish middle-aged women during the past 30 years. Levels of perceived mental stress, however, have increased significantly. These are the of a thesis presented at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
Statins may help prevent stroke recurrence
People who take cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins after a stroke may be less likely to have another stroke later, according to research published in the May 26, 2009, print issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
DASH diet reduces women's risk of heart failure
The DASH diet was initially developed to help patients lower their blood pressure, but a large study led by investigators at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) demonstrates that women who followed the diet also significantly reduced their risk of developing heart failure.
Computer based system helps to regulate blood pressure
A simple, automated feedback system made hypertension patients more aware of their potentially fatal or disabling disease and helped them significantly lower their high blood pressure, according to a report published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.
Audio relaxation program may help lower blood pressure
An audio relaxation program lowered blood pressure more than a Mozart sonata in a group of elderly people with high blood pressure, researchers reported at the American Heart Association's 62nd Annual Fall Conference of the Council for High Blood Pressure Research.
Cholesterol and blood pressure control may reverse atherosclerosis
Aggressively lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels below current targets in adults with type 2 diabetes may help to prevent ? and possibly reverse ? hardening of the arteries, according to new research supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health. Hardening of the arteries, also known as atherosclerosis, is the number one cause of heart disease and can lead to heart attack, stroke, and death.
Reducing kids' salt intake lowers soft drink consumption
Children who eat less salt drink fewer sugar-sweetened soft drinks and may significantly lower their risks for obesity, elevated blood pressure and later-in-life heart attack and stroke, researchers reported in the print and online issue of Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Baxter's multiple-dose vial Heparin causing allergy
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today that Baxter Healthcare Corporation has temporarily stopped manufacturing multiple-dose vials of the injectable blood-thinning drug heparin due to reports of serious allergic reactions and hypotension (low blood pressure) in patients who receive high "bolus" doses of the drug.

Australia's record-breaking heatwave has sent temperatures soaring, melting road tar and setting off hundreds of wildfires - as well as searing new colors onto weather maps.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has added dark purple and magenta to its color-coded weather forecasting map to represent temperatures of 51 to 54 degrees Celsius (123.8 to 129.2 Fahrenheit), officials said.
Temperatures on the map were previously capped at 50 degrees Celsius, represented by the color black.
"In order to better understand what temperatures we might see ... we introduced two new colors," said Aaron Coutts-Smith, manager of climate services at the Bureau of Meteorology.
Forecast models have predicted a large area of temperatures of over 50 for next Monday, he added.
Australia's average maximum temperature has exceeded 39 degrees Celsius for a record-breaking seven consecutive days. The previous record of four consecutive days above that level was in 1973.
The hottest temperature recorded on Monday was in the South Australian outback town of Oodnadatta, where the mercury topped out at a scorching 48.2 degrees Celsius - forcing the local petrol station to stop selling fuel after it started vaporizing.

Author information
THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL aka Dr. Seuss is one of the most beloved children s book authors of all time. From "The Cat in the Hat" to "Oh, the Places You ll Go!," his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into thirty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss s long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors for "McElligot s Pool," "If I Ran the Zoo," and "Bartholomew and the Oobleck," the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody. Dr. Seuss's never-before-seen picture book "What Pet Should I Get?" will be published on July 28, 2015. The rediscovered book captures a classic childhood moment the selection of a pet and uses it to illustrate a life-lesson: that it is hard to make up your mind, but that sometimes you just have to do it!"
Review quote
Gift guide, The New York Times, June 21, 2008: "One book that has proved to be popular for graduates of all ages since it was first published in 1990."
Flap copy
Illus. in full color. "Don't be fooled by the title of this seriocomic ode to success; it's not 'Climb Every Mountain, ' kid version. All journeys face perils, whether from indecision, from loneliness, or worst of all, from too much waiting. Seuss' familiar pajama-clad hero is up to the challenge, and his odyssey is captured vividly in busy two-page spreads evoking both the good times (grinning purple elephants, floating golden castles) and the bad (deep blue wells of confusion). Seuss' message is simple but never sappy: life may be a 'Great Balancing Act, ' but through it all 'There's fun to be done.'"--(starred) "Booklist.

Played Diamond 3 times technically. I first got it for Christmas in 2008 and played it the first time. Then while on vacation in Atlanta in 2010 I lost my copy of Diamond in the hotel.
I only got 7 badges and never had a chance to beat Volkner or the E4. Then for Christmas 2011, I bought I new copy with my gift money. I messed around on the last guy's file, then transferred his Pokes to my White and HeartGold , and reset the game and started a new one. Though I wasn't satisfied with the new game I had so I restarted again. Now I'm currently playing through my third time around and I hope to actually beat the game this time. :D
Platinum I honestly didn't have until last Christmas (2012) when I bought I used copy with the money I got as a gift. I'm still kind of messing around with the last person's save so I still haven't played it myself in a way yet. So once I get a few more Pokemon (spefically Heatran) and then transfer their Pokemon to my other games, I'll restart the game and finally play Platinum personally for the first time.

Maria Sharapova has about a bajillion dollars in tennis tournament earnings and endorsement deals, but that hasn't stopped her from earning even more money in the always lucrative candy business. Sharapova's candy line, the aptly named "Sugarpova," was released in August. She celebrated that release by playing beer pong with Jimmy Fallon, and her next celebration may need to include some champagne. Bloomberg reports that the Sugarpova line has been wildly successful, despite investing little in advertising and despite a somewhat steep price tag on each bag of candy. Bloomberg reports that the candy line is expected to sell 1 million bags in a year, with Sharapova earning up to $1.10 per bag, with the candy flying off the shelf at $5.99 per bag. "We don't really have a big budget for marketing and advertisement," Sharapova said, according to Bloomberg. "So it's pretty incredible that the awareness that it has so far is where it is." It's a savvy business move tapping into the gummy candy market, which is apparently worth $28 billion per year. Photo of the Day Maybe Maria Sharapova is interested in buying?

Mothers ) are women who inhabit or perform the role of bearing some relation to their children, who may or may not be their biological offspring. Thus, dependent on the context, women can be considered mothers by virtue of having given birth, by raising their child, supplying their ovum for fertilization, or some combination thereof. Such conditions provide a way of delineating the concept of motherhood, or the state of being a mother. Women who meet the third and first categories usually fall under the terms 'birth mother' or 'biological mother', regardless of whether the individual in question goes on to parent their child. Accordingly, a woman who meets only the second condition may be considered an adoptive mother, and those who meet only the third a surrogacy mother.
The above concepts defining the role of mother are neither exhaustive, nor universal as any definition of 'mother' may differ based on how social, cultural, and religious roles are defined. The parallel conditions and terms for males: those who are fathers do not, by definition, take up the role of fatherhood. It should also be noted that mother and fatherhood are not limited to those who are or have parented. Women who are pregnant may be referred to as expectant mothers or mothers-to-be, though such applications tend to be less readily applied to fathers or adoptive parents.
The modern English word is from Middle English moder, from Old English mōdor, from Proto-Germanic mōdēr, from Proto-Indo-European méh₂tēr . Other cognates include Latin māter, Greek μήτηρ, Common Slavic mati, Persian مادر, and Sanskrit मातृ .
Biological mother
Biological motherhood for humans, as in other mammals, occurs when a pregnant female gestates a fertilized ovum . Typically a fetus develops from the viable zygote, resulting in an embryo. Gestation occurs in the woman's uterus until the fetus is sufficiently developed to be born. In humans, gestation is often around 9 months in duration, after which the woman experiences labor and gives birth. This

"A Walk to Remember" is a love story so sweet, sincere and positive that it sneaks past the defenses built up in this age of irony. It tells the story of a romance between two 18-year-olds that is summarized when the boy tells the girl's doubtful father: "Jamie has faith in me. She makes me want to be different. Better." After all of the vulgar crudities of the typical modern teenage movie, here is one that looks closely, pays attention, sees that not all teenagers are as cretinous as Hollywood portrays them.
The singer Mandy Moore, a natural beauty in both face and manner, stars as Jamie Sullivan, an outsider at school who is laughed at because she stands apart, has values, and always wears the same ratty blue sweater. Her father (Peter Coyote) is a local minister. Shane West plays Landon Carter, a senior boy who hangs with the popular crowd but is shaken when a stupid dare goes wrong and one of his friends is paralyzed in a diving accident. He dates a popular girl and joins in the laughter against Jamie. Then, as punishment for the prank, he is ordered by the principal to join the drama club: "You need to meet some new people." Jamie's in the club. He begins to notice her in a new way. He asks her to help him rehearse for a role in a play. She treats him with level honesty. She isn't one of those losers who skulks around feeling put upon; her self-esteem stands apart from the opinion of her peers. She's a smart, nice girl, a reminder that one of the pleasures of the movies is to meet good people.
The plot has revelations that I will not reveal. Enough to focus on the way Jamie's serene example makes Landon into a nicer person--encourages him to become more sincere and serious, to win her where she approaches him while he's with his old friends and says, "See you tonight," and he says, "In your dreams." When he turns up at her house, she is hurt and angry, and his excuses sound lame even to him.
The movie walks a fine line with the Peter Coyote character, whose church Landon attends. Movies have a way of stereotyping reactionary Bible-thumpers who are hostile to teen romance. There is a little of that here; Jamie is forbidden to date, for example, although there's more behind his decision than knee-jerk strictness. But when Landon goes to the Rev. Sullivan and asks him to have faith in him, the minister listens with an open mind.
Yes, the movie is corny at times. But corniness is all right at times. I forgave the movie its broad emotion because it earned it. It lays things on a little thick at the end, but by then it had paid its way. Director Adam Shankman and his writer, Karen Janszen, working from the novel by Nicholas Sparks, have an unforced trust in the material that redeems, even justifies the broad strokes. They go wrong only three times: (1) The subplot involving the paralyzed boy should have either been dealt with, or dropped; (2) It's tiresome to make the black teenager use "brother" in every sentence, as if he is not their peer but was ported in from another world; (3) As Kuleshov proved more than 80 years ago in a famous experiment, when an audience sees an impassive closeup, it supplies the necessary emotion from the context. It can be fatal for an actor to try to "act" in a closeup, and Landon's little smile at the end is a distraction at a crucial moment.
Those are small flaws in a touching movie. The performances by Moore and West are so quietly convincing we're reminded that many teenagers in movies seem to think like 30-year-old standup comics. That Jamie and Landon base their romance on values and respect will blindside some viewers of the film, especially since the first five or 10 minutes seem to be headed down a familiar teenage movie trail. "A Walk to Remember" is a small treasure.
Last Update:
A norm is a group-held belief about how members should behave in a given context.[citation needed] Sociologists describe norms as informal understandings that govern individuals' behavior in society,[1] while psychologists have adopted a more general definition, recognizing smaller group units, like a team or an office, may also endorse norms separate or in addition to cultural or societal expectations.[2] The psychological definition emphasizes social norms' behavioral component, stating norms have two dimensions: how much behavior is exhibited and how much the group approves of that behavior.[2]

Resource Type: Thesis or Dissertation
Degree Discipline: Composition
"Sunken Monadnock": a Composition for Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Violin, Violoncello, Electric Guitar, Piano, Percussion, Three Female Vocalists, and Computer
Date: December 2013
Creator: Harris, Joshua Kimball
Description: Sunken Monadnock is a scripted combination of three modular musical surfaces. The word "surface" is borrowed from Morton Feldman, who compared the aural surface of music to the canvases of the action painters of the American Abstract Expressionists, and contrasted it with the work's subject, or organizational structure. Composers' transition toward a focus on surface through indeterminate compositional techniques, according to Feldman, parallels the development of modernist abstract art. "Sunken Monadnock: Composing with Visual Metaphors" is a companion critical essay that takes the surface/subject metaphor as a starting point for analyzing Sunken Monadnock.Other visual metaphors that inspired Sunken Monadnock, and are discussed in the essay, include Shakir Hassan Al Said's mystical semiotics, Jasper Johns's crosshatch prints, and Wassily Kandinsky's theory of abstraction. The circle and spiral, especially, play influential roles in Sunken Monadnock as reflected by musical applications of repetition, rotation, compression/rarefaction, and endlessness. The void in the circle's center also comes into play. The nature of the work's formal counterpoint requires an innovative approach to the score, which consists of five sections, each of which reflects a different approach to the aural surface (i.e., to the traversal of time). The two outer sections are traditionally scored, but the three ...

Blueline Concerto: Critical Essay
Date: August 2013
Creator: Lamb, Christopher
Description: The purpose of this critical essay is two-fold. First, the essay presents a detailed critical analysis of my original composition, Blueline Concerto for bass trombone and wind ensemble. Second, using Blueline Concerto, the essay presents preliminary findings of my study to develop an approach to composing that takes into account the musicians' health, specifically regarding noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). Through various hypothesized composition- and orchestral-based approaches, I test effectiveness on changes in NIHL risk while also noting that artistic merit and compositional integrity is preserved.

Date: August 1997
Creator: Whitworth, Clifford K. (Clifford Kirk)
Description: Mobiles is a composition for an ensemble consisting of 12 instruments. The piece, in one movement, incorporates intuition, chance, and twelve tone techniques and reflects the relationship between motion and rest or tension and release. The structure is modeled according to principles of growth and decay, starting off slowly, building, and then dying away. Much of the material is inspired by mental images invoked from modern theories concerning chaos. Mobiles' character stems from the principal use of two motives, the chaos motif and the echo motif. Primarily, the chaos motif is representative of a state of motion while the echo motif represents a state of rest. Mobile architecture is usually characteristic of symmetry, balance, and proportion, but because of uncertainty in a natural environment, this proportion often falls short of a perfect symmetrical balance as in the case of a crystal or a fractal design. It is this kind of architecture that Mobiles portrays in its form and developmental process.

Persistence: for Wind Ensemble
Date: August 1997
Creator: Rickwood, Christopher M.
Description: Persistence is a composition scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 bassoons, E-flat clarinet, 3 1st B-flat clarinets, 3 2nd B-flat clarinets, 3 3rd B-flat clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 E-flat alto saxophones, B-flat tenor saxophone, E-flat baritone saxophone, 3 B-flat trumpets, 4 French horns in F, 2 trombones, bass trombone, baritone, tuba, timpani, and 4 auxiliary percussionists. The music consists of three movements, fast-slow-fast, lasting approximately eleven and one-half minutes. The three movements last three minutes and twenty seconds, five minutes and thirty seconds, and three minutes and ten seconds respectively.
Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries
Date: May 1998
Creator: Patino, Julio
Description: Matador is an opera scored for orchestra, mixed chorus and soloists (mezzosoprano, 3 tenors, 2 baritones). The work is in one act divided into two main sections. Each of these sections is divided into subsections. The libretto is aphoristic in nature and dictates the form of each of these subsections. The division into two parts also serves as a means to evoke a sense of hopelessness of emotions in the first and a transforming disposition that culminates in a jubilant song in the second.

A Wedding Ceremony: Processional, Kyrie, Alleluia!, Hosanna!, Recessional
Date: May 1998
Creator: Cieminski, Theresa
Description: A Wedding Ceremony is a composition of approximately 17 minutes in duration and is scored for horn in F, two trumpets in B-flat, trombone, two percussionists (timpani, roto toms, chimes, snare, triangle, suspended cymbal), 2-part boys choir, female soprano, and organ. The work consists of five parts of a mass, the Processional, Kyrie, Alleluia!, Hosanna!, and Recessional, with texted sections being taken from the Latin mass. The work is intended for a sacred wedding service of any denomination. The work was composed with the traditional aspects of the Latin mass in combination with a contemporary setting.

In Nomine Domini
Date: August 1995
Creator: Crowley, Timothy R. (Timothy Robert)
Description: In Nomine Domini is an eighteen-minute composition for two chamber orchestras with two soloists using real-time interactive signal processing techniques. The first chamber orchestra is scored for flute (piccolo), English horn, trumpet in C, trombone, two percussionists (cowbells, wood blocks, tenor drum, suspended cymbal, gongs, tam-tam, temple blocks, tambourine, snare drum, timbales, and bass drum), horn in F (soloist), viola, and string bass. The second chamber orchestra is scored for oboe, clarinet in Bb (bass clarinet in Bb), bassoon, tuba, two percussionists (crotales, two marimbas, vibraphone, chimes, and tom-toms), piano (soloist), violin, and cello. Real-time interactive signal processing techniques are achieved through the use of a stereo multiple-effects signal processor and a personal computer running MIDI interactive software. The work is based upon the four-hundred and seventy-five year old in nomine composition tradition begun by John Taverner in the Benedictus of his Mass Gloria tibi Trinitas (1520) and continued in over one-hundred and fifty Renaissance settings. In Nomine Domini consists of three movements: "Taverner* derived from the Benedictus of the Mass Gloria tibi Trinitas (1520), "Byrd" derived from the Benedictus of William Byrd's Five-voice Mass (1592), and "Tye" derived from Christopher lye's In Nomine XIII "Trust" (1578).

Song of Pi-Pa
Date: August 1994
Creator: Tseng, Yu-Chung, 1960-
Description: Sona of Pi-Pa is a composition set to a poem to be performed by soprano and mixed instrumental ensemble. The formal plan is through-composed and the organization of each individual piece is largely determined by the structure of the poetic text. The text, drawn from Song of Pi-Pa by Po Chu-i, depicts the story of how the poet became overwhelmed by the chance hearing of a virtuosic performance of a woman playing the pi-pa. The general characteristics of the work reflect the assimilation of certain non-western musical and philosophical influences. Traditional western compositional techniques are also employed in the treatment of thematic materials, musical form, instrumentation, and the developmental process. The total performance time for this composition is approximately twenty-six minutes.

Chaos, Cosmos, and Communion: Three Movements for String Quartet
Date: August 1994
Creator: Moran, David W. (David Wayne)
Description: The three movements of this piece are related proportionally in that movements one and two represent three-fifths of the length of the whole. Movement three represents two-fifths of the length of the whole. Another proportional relationship exists between movements one and two. Movement one represents two-fifths of the length of the first two movements, while movement two represents three-fifths of the length of the two. An additional link between the three movements is pitch content. Movements one and two have little in common in this regard, but movement three combines elements of the first two. The duration of the entire piece is approximately fifteen minutes.
Contributing Partner: UNT Libraries
Piano Quintet
Date: May 1997
Creator: Tan, Chee-Tick
Description: The thesis is a traditional piano quintet in the manner of Bartok, incorporating compositional techniques such as golden ratio and using folk materials. Special effects on strings are limited for easy conversion to wind instruments. The piece is about 15 minutes long.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The army officer and alleged collusion in Yemen
Gregg Carlstrom, Fares Akram | 16 Jul 2014 19:52 GMT | War & Conflict, Politics, Middle East, Gaza, Israeli–Palestinian conflict
Gaza City - The Israeli army intensified its bombing of Gaza on Wednesday, hitting the homes of senior Hamas leaders and carrying out more than 50 airstrikes in a heavily-populated area in the northern strip.
The death toll climbed to 220 people, according to Palestinian medical officials, including 47 children. On Wednesday, four children were killed by naval shelling on a beach.
More than 1,500 people have been injured. The Israeli army admitted on Wednesday that "about half" of those killed have been civilians; the United Nations puts the figure much higher, closer to 80 percent.
The army also bombed the houses of several senior Hamas leaders, including Mahmoud al-Zahar.
Some of the heaviest bombing was in and around the northern city of Beit Lahia, where the army conducted 50 airstrikes. Israel dropped leaflets and called residents the night before, warning the 100,000 inhabitants of the area to evacuate to other parts of the besieged strip.
Hamas and other groups had fired more than 60 rockets by Wednesday evening, according to the Israeli army, with no injuries or serious damage reported. One Israeli has been killed so far by more than 1,000 rockets launched from Gaza.
RELATED: Gaza under siege: naming the dead
Israel on Wednesday morning told hundreds of thousands of residents of border areas to evacuate their neighbourhoods.
The warnings were delivered in automated phone calls, text messages and leaflets dropped from planes. Leaflets were also dropped threatening a new round of air strikes.
"We got leaflets and calls to evacuate," said Um Mohammed Rahmi, 56, who was fleeing in a donkey-drawn cart with six of her neighbours.
"We don't know where we are going. We don't know where we should go... We are just going aimlessly," she told Al Jazeera.
Hundreds of residents of the neighbourhoods of Zeitoun and Shijaiyah were also seen walking in the streets, carrying small bags with belongings.
"We don't want to leave our homes, but we do this because of the children. There are many bombings and they get terrified." said the Um Ramez, as she and her grandchildren in Zeitoun packed the trunk of a car with clothes bags, a box of food and another box of tomato.
Um Ramez told Al Jazeera they were going to her son's home in the centre of Gaza city, which was "relatively safer".
RELATED - Interactive: #GazaUnderAttack
The renewed bombing came one day after a failed attempt at a cease-fire proposed by the Egyptian government. It asked Israel and Hamas to halt their fire on Tuesday morning and dispatch envoys to Cairo to discuss further terms.
The Israeli cabinet agreed, but Hamas, which said it was never consulted on the cease-fire, rejected it. Israeli jets resumed bombing the strip on Tuesday afternoon after a six-hour lull.
Live Box 201471372913612636
Ha'aretz reported on Wednesday that the cease-fire was conceived in a secret telephone call between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
The Egyptian plan met none of the demands Hamas has outlined for ending the conflict, beyond a vague promise to ease the blockade of Gaza "once the security situation stabilises".
Channel 2 reported that the group had proposed its own truce, offering ten years of calm in exchange for a complete lifting of the siege and the release of dozens of prisoners detained over the past month. There was no immediate response from the Israeli government.
Meanwhile, the West Bank remains quiet, despite widespread anger at the Israeli offensive. The Palestinian Authority has tried to avoid escalation, and has pressured activists not to stage protests.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was in Cairo on Wednesday to meet with Sisi and discuss a cease-fire. But he has largely stayed quiet about the war, and his silence has cost him support among Palestinians.
A small group did hold a peaceful rally outside of Ofer prison near Ramallah, which was quickly broken up by Israeli forces, who fired tear gas and foul-smelling "skunk water" to disperse the demonstrators.
"The effect is very clear, there's been an increase in popular support for Hamas, and a decline for the Palestinian Authority and [Abbas]," said Ghassan Khatib, a former spokesman for the government.
"People here in the West Bank of course support resistance, and when they put the PA in comparison, it's playing against their popularity."
