How does Woods have more votes than Allen? From what i've seen Allen is the superior receiver.
When was the last time a team addressed the LT position with a quality starter in the NFL. I am asking cause I really do not know. Most teams do not let go franchise LT players unless they are injured or playing past their prime. I would not assume you can upgrade the LT position with starting talent.
To me OT Luke Joeckel Texas A&M is the obvious choice. He has the size, speed, and technique to be a very specail player in the NFL
By selecting Joeckel the Rams will upgrade 3 very important positions on this team. We will have a franchise LT, Rogers moves to RT and will be an upgrade on that side, and most important the line will improve and the QB position will improve.
Go Rams
I agree that Joeckel upgrades our entire offense. Get us a playmaker with our other 1st rounder and i"ll be stoked.
Finally, I voted. For... Manti Teo.
I have been following the rams religiously and the top prospects in the country equally. After today's "not loss", I see the need for a LB and safety above all else. I think the rams need to attack either Jarvis Jones or Manti Teo. If Jones is there for our Washington pick, we need to grab him. Teo is steadily moving up boards and a lot of people have him under 9. If he is there instead, we grab him.
Obviously Luke Joeckel is a stud. However, I don't think it will translate to the NFL. I noticed his lack of ability to block the bull rush. It's fine when your QB is checking down the ball or throwing slants; It is not okay in the Rams offense. I like Lewan for our draft better. He is more physical and, although not as ready as Joeckel, can be coached up higher than him (more ability for Budreau). I would actually be okay with either if we picked them.
Safety is deep this draft, and I think any one of the top 7 or 8 prospects will be huge upgrades to this D.
I am not impressed with any WR in college right now (except for Marquiss Lee - who will be in the 2014 draft). I don't want to see us grab Allen, Hunter or Woods in the first. I think we need to grab an Oline and a Defensive playmaker for sure.
We'll have to see how the next few weeks play out to better grasp where we will be picking. What I see is a potentially elite LB to fill one of our big needs.
After watching Stanford upset Oregon, I have to say i would love if we drafted Zach Ertz. We need a receiving threat at TE, and Kendricks has been a phenomenal blocker but hasn't been what we hoped catching the ball. Ertz is a game changer and big redzone threat. He could be a great weapon for Bradford and really help with mismatches against the defense.


text: I ran into the problem of not being able to get beyond the first page when sorting by top-level categories. 2nd level category pagination worked. The problem was I had duplicate category names and this occurred through the import. I didn't think it was going to be a problem because they subcategories had different parents, but it was. So, if you have pagination problems, check to be sure no categories have the same name.

I was walking down a hill to get to my friend's house when I was about 13 or 14 years old. There was an intersection and a man (at least 10 years older than me) stopped, even though there were no other cars passing through, wound down his window and, as I walked by him, he said 'You're amazing'. I walked faster and when I got down to the bottom of the hill there was another intersection and a man stopped for me to pass in front of his car, but I could see he was obviously staring at me and continued to do so until I was out of sight.
Walking along the street towards universities on my way to an exam, it's pouring with rain. Pavement is quite narrow and there was a group of 4-5 guys standing around, so I have to walk quite close to them.
As I get close one of them loudly says "hey you should try smiling sometime". I ignore and keep walking. As I'm past the group a couple of them shout after me "oooooh SHIT".
Felt so annoyed, I was already drenched from the heavy rain, and on my way to a stressful and difficult final exam at the end of my degree. Not what I needed and not cool at all.
When I was a freshman in high school, there was a guy that I had a crush on. My friends always told me he was staring at my butt, but that always made me uncomfortable. The first time he grabbed my butt was in PE and he told me that his friends pushed him into me. I convinced myself this was only a mistake. The second time I could hear him loudly talking about how my butt looked so nice and then he grabbed me again. I never did say anything to him about it, and I never told anyone what happened.
I was walking home from a friends house alone on a Friday night at 1:40 am and I had to pass by two obviously intoxicated guys and one of the tells me I'm going to get raped and I shake my head and keep walking. He says it again so I say that's not something you joke about and he says it's just a joke and I say rape isn't funny and then he says dude it was just a joke. I kept walking the whole time. He also kept saying something along the lines if come back to hear the joke.
no comments
I was waiting my turn at a gas station, and was about to pull up to the pump, when an older (late fifties, sixties) man in a truck pulled up in front of me and blocked my way. He and his friend started acting like something was funny, pointing at me, waving in a mocking sort of way. I signaled them to please move, but they kept on acting like the whole thing was a joke. I held eye contact with the man and kept my finger pointing in the direction he needed to go. He finally pulled away, and as he did so he rolled down his window and yelled "Nice smile, bitch!".
I managed to hold my calm as I pumped gas, but I started bawling once I was on my way home.
So, I was waiting for my daughters' bus, and a guy in a red SUV honked at me, slowed down, and looked like it was going to pick me up. I flipped him off, and turned around. Because I holla back.
Last night I did a little bit of grocery shopping. I'm a chubby middle aged lady now, so I'm not as often the target of harassment as I used to be. When I was checking out, there was a young male employee bagging groceries and an attractive young woman cashiering. As I was putting my groceries on the conveyor belt, I couldn't help but overhear the bagger repeatedly exhorting the cashier that she should, "Smile more," because she's "So much prettier when she smiles." Because, of course, the whole purpose of this young woman being employed by the grocery store is for his personal benefit. Well, that annoyed me a little bit, but it didn't seem like an appropriate thing for me to interject myself into, so I kept quiet.
But then, the bagger felt the need to comment on some of my groceries in a suggestive way! When he said, "So juicy and delicious" when he was bagging my grapefruit, I initially thought it was an innocent comment because the grapefruit did in fact look particularly juicy and delicious. But then I saw that he was leering at the cashier when he said it. Then he got to my turbinado sugar – the store had only the brand called, "Sugar in the Raw." So Mr. Poobrain BaggerBoy saw fit to say, "Sugar in the Raaaaaaaw," in the most suggestive way possible. That was it for me. I pulled myself to my full 5'3″, squared my shoulders, set my jaw, and said something to the effect of, "Hey. You are being a jerk, and the fact that you think your comments are acceptable does not make you less of a jerk. This young lady has not been placed here by divine providence for your amusement, and I am not purchasing these groceries for the benefit of your comments. You had better wise up right here and right now. Now, I will finish bagging my own groceries. Go and reflect on your behavior!"
Ha! He did NOT expect to be called out, let alone scolded and basically given a time out by a customer! Well, I don't think I changed his behavior permanently – but maybe I had some tiny impact on his future behavior.

I was 15 at the time, and going for a run. A man of around 40 was stopped at a street corner at a red light. He saw me, leaned out his window, made eye contact with me, and gave a long whistle. I made my run about a half mile longer to avoid going the same way as that car.

So I didn't want to share this story at first because I felt like I would be overreacting by calling this street harassment, but yeah…
In september my first year at university started and during the week I live in an apartment in the city so I can just go to class by foot. Now, there's a restaurant in the same street and I have to walk past it to get to my class or to get to the park with my dog. When the weather is nice and the place hasn't opened yet or they're taking a break or whatever, the guys who own the place sits outside.
As the friendly person I am, eager to befriend my neighbors, I smile at them every time I pass. There's one of them who sits outside more often than the others and one time he responded to my smile with a 'ciao bella' to which I didn't really react as I was just about to cross the street. One evening, as I had to walk my dog, the guy that sits outside the most often was there again, so I gave him a very quick smile (the 'ciao bella' incident had made me a little uneasy) and was planning to walk past quickly but he started talking to me. At first, the conversation went… all right, I guess.
He asked me if I lived in the apartment a little further down the street as he apparently had seen me inside (yes, inside, as in I-saw-you-through-the-window-inside), if I was a student and what I was studying (English – Spanish) so we started talking about languages and he kind of started to switch languages as he spoke, from Dutch to Italian to Spanish to Dutch to French to Dutch to French and so on. Now, In this region in Belgium, you're supposed to be able to speak Dutch fluently and well, you should understand French as well. As the conversation went on, he told me I was pretty in French a couple of times and how it always lightens up his day when he sees me, which made me feel even less comfortable but I felt forced to thank him for his compliments. He also asked, jokingly I hope but I'm far from sure, if he could go with me to my place for a cup of coffee. (I responded truthfully that my brother was staying over, which was "such a shame" according to him) He also said something in French which I didn't quite understand, but I thought it was just another "you're pretty" so I – shudder – thanked him again.
When I got home, I looked it up, because the way he had looked at me when he had said it, had been a bit… predatory? So yeah, I forgot what it was exactly, but I still remember what the website had said: "don't ever say this to a woman in France as she will (rightfully) slap you and call the police" A couple of days later, I got the courage to tell my brother about it all (though it was a softened version, because I didn't want him to tell my parents) and he told me about another route to get to the park. So from then on, I have to go through some dark streets and a parking lot a couple of times a day. I haven't really seen him anymore (he once waved at me from inside the restaurant, but that's about it I think) but I don't know what to do or think about the whole case. Honestly, I think he is in fact a rather sweet guy and that he really just doesn't see any wrong in his 'compliments' however sexual and out of bounds they may be. I'm way too scared to teach him about standard etiquette and street harassment though.
no comments
I was walking to my car when a large pick-up truck starts following me and the driver yells out his window, " I will lick your butthole if you suck my balls!" I couldn't see his face through his car window so I there is no other way to describe him other than the fact that he was driving a huge green pick-up truck.

Coralie is wonderful, so I hate to be a naysayer.
The alliteration is Cor and Car, not just C and C. Caroline Carter, Corithia Carther, Corisande Carter - all just a hair too alliterated I think.
Something slightly less alliterated, like Claudia Carter or Catherine Carter sounds stronger to me.
Coralie Carter is really sweet for a little girl, but not the most serious name imo.

I personally dislike it - our surname begins with J and whenever I try pairing it with a J first name, it sounds silly to my ears - however, I doubt I'd even notice if someone else had both names beginning with the same letter.

It's Not That I Don't Trust You…
How's this for romance: Last December, the transition team of then Mayor-elect Vince Gray ordered a full background check of Gray's girlfriend, Linda Greene.
Among the 800 or so emails that were released yesterday to the D.C. Council committee investigating hiring practices in the Gray administration is a note from private investigator Ken Cummins (the very first Loose Lips), notifying Gray transition chairwoman Lorraine Green that his company was still waiting to be paid for vetting work it had done for Gray.
Along with the email are attached individual invoices for each person who was investigated. Cummins' company charge $350, $750, and $1,500 per investigation, depending on how thorough a dossier the Gray team wanted. For example: Attorney General Irv Nathan got the $350 deal, while someone like Sulaimon Brown got the $1,500 treatment.
Since you're probably now asking, Greene's background investigation cost $1,500.
"Early on there was some interest in considering her for the position of Secretary for the District of Columbia," says Green (Lorraine) via email, on why Team Gray was interested in vetting Greene (Linda). "Ms. Greene ultimately decided she was not interested in being considered. We conducted backgrounds on several people that in the end, for various reasons, were not selected for positions."
Phew, it's a good thing Greene decided she didn't want the job. It's one thing to have a few children of the politically connected on your payroll, but your girlfriend...
That's not to say that Greene, who has worked in District government for many years, was unqualified. It's just that we've all learned by now that perception matters in city hiring, right? So the fact that Greene was even considered for a job underscores the fact that someone working for Gray—though it's still not entirely clear exactly who—was wayyy out to lunch on these kind of thorny issues back in the early days when the administration was making its personnel decisions.
(Side note: LL isn't sure whether Greene and Gray are still seeing each other, because LL doesn't spend that much time keeping track of the mayor's personal life.)
Green also shows up later in the batch of emails, around the time LL wrote this post about her work for a businessman who was trying to buy the United Medical Center.
"I do not talk to her about government business and she has not asked me to do anything related to government business," Gray wrote to his spokeswoman.

Beaches, Sydney
6 Reviews
6 Reviews
If you're going to be at the Beaches try to bring things you will need with you for the day. One of the biggest tourist traps are the little shops that line the beaches. true that sometimes they have unique treasures and sell neat things, but they are sometimes very overprices whereas you can get the same thing away from the beach for a portion of the price.
Unique Suggestions: don't be spend happy!
Fun Alternatives: Shop in the town, in the local malls and on the streets - they often have the same or simliar articles for much cheaper. Australia is all about the souviners and trinkets, they're not hard to find!
I have travelled to many countries around the world and I can easily say I experienced the least troubles in Sydney than I have ever experienced in any other country. Everyone is so helpful and so friendly. The one thing was that whenever you think about Sydney beaches the first beach that comes to mind is Bondi. However, I found that Bondi even though it is beautiful, is not necessarily the nicest because it is so packed with people. I found it quite invasive.
Unique Suggestions: Park your car on top of the hill going down to Bondi and walk down. Big hike back up but chances are you won't find a park anywhere. Not too easy to get to with public transport.
Also whilst there ask people about the Bondi to Bronte walk along the lciffs. Well known amongst locals. Absolutely beautiful and you can walk to the next beach along within 10 minutes.
Fun Alternatives: If you would like to escape the masses of tourists try the Northern Beaches e.g. Palm Beach, Whale Beach or Avalon. Another alternative is the Southern Beaches such as Coogee or Bronte.
All of these beaches are packed with hot bronzed Aussie boys. However on Bondi you get the feeling that the boys are competing with the girls in a swimsuit modelling competition.
Wasnt a huge fan of the beach, thought it was a little over hyped, but still youve got to come to one of the most famous beaches in the world if you come to Sydney. Personally prefered the other beaches around Sydney.
Bondi Beach on a hot day... NOOOOOO!!!!!! don't even think about it... Head out to the outer suburbs, and you'll find the beaches are a lot quieter and just as good. Australia is HUGE, with so much beach to offer, I simply don't understand why people have to crowd onto tiny beaches near the city...
Beaches - Get out of the tourist areas. This is not really a 'tourist trap' recommendation, but visitors who enjoy beaches should generally explore Sydney's less famous beaches. Although Bondi and Manly and nice beaches by world standards, Sydney has over 40 other beaches that will impress any avid beach bum! Most of them are very accessible by public transport, so make the most of it - the pic below is from Coogee.

first sundown in a while by Rona-KellerWatch
©2014-2016 Rona-Keller
This was taken back in June, when we used to have dinner outside and I realised that for the first time in so long, life wasn't all about losing something I never had.
Highres version PLEASE!
you have got a great sense of light. your snaps have got a romantic aura about the subjects..stunning....
I don't speak Chinese, but my photos aren't meant to be downloaded I'm afraid!
This is touching......
oh beautiful!
I just want to tell you I adore this photo, it's simply perfect! You've got talent girl!
This photography makes me feel. Feel like I am on it. Feel like I am there, observing. Feel like this was a frame from the movie I'll direct.
Thank you for gaving me that and congratulations for the spectacular shot
I am happy to hear such lovely words about my photo, thank you
Wanna hear something funny? I started to follow you here in 2013. Abandoned this account last year, and start to follow you on flickr this year, without this consciousness. Now that I re entered here I've realized that
Oh I love this, it's simple and beautiful.
This gorgeous work has been featured here: People and Portraits Spotlight Vol. 89.
Looking forward to seeing more art from you at devPREMIUM!
Looking forward to seeing more art from you at devPREMIUM!
such great colors and I like how the focus is on the two subjects.
great background!
Reminds me of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, lol
You are absolutely right, life is not about what you lose, it's about what you (or better said every one) can do to win what you don't have. I sadly I had to learn this the hard way....it took me so much time to learn this, that now I look back and see all of the time that I lost. I try not to think about it, looking to the future, and makeing better choices is what keeps me strong. This photo is beautiful, I love the feling that it gives me when I see it, and that is the feeling that "tomorrow I am going to do better." It is full of hope. keep up the great work!
You are right, but I still think that the time you are referring to as 'lost' must have been good for something after all. I always try to see things that way and sometimes it helps. And it is lovely that you did learn to appreciate the fact that we can always strive for more, but as well be content with what we have.
Thank you so much for your lovely words.
Thank you so much for your lovely words.
Wow cool

it's lovely. the lighting is superb. two young people looking at life, the world spread before them.
Was für eine wundervolle Aufnahme...
Tolles Bild ^^ super Boke ^^
good pic ! it looks like the closing scene of a movie, the moment which leaves the audience wondering 'where will they go from here ?'

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Jessica Evans, 28, of Orangefield died Friday night, Dec. 27, as the result of a fatal traffic accident.
Police are still searching for the suspect or suspects responsible for the thefts of at least four car stereos on Christmas Eve at the Sunset Grove Apartments in Orange.
At about 5:30 Friday morning, Dec. 27, a Beaumont Police Department patrol officer found the body of a man along the west service road of the 5000 block of Eastex Freeway near Treadway Road. The man appeared to have been struck by a vehicle, according to a BPD press release.

"No more mutants."
Of all the phrases we've seen uttered by any character in comics over the last ten years, these three little words have to be the most profound. Published in 2005 and written by Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis, HOUSE OF M is a story that should be at the very top of every Marvel fan's reading list, and for good reason. Aside from the fact that the story is compelling, and the pencils by Olivier Coipel, inks by Tom Townsend and vibrant colors by Frank D'Armata are absolutely breathtaking, HOUSE OF M was the story arc that opened the door for the current state of Marvel's X-Men Universe that we see today. It is the story that paved the way for new characters to exist (like Wiccan and Hope Summers, for example) and led to story arcs like Deadly Genesis, Messiah Complex, Second Coming, Decimation and Children's Crusade. But beyond the fact that it is the essential story that led to Marvel's current landscape, it's simply an amazing story.
Those who are not familiar with HOUSE OF M should absolutely look into reading the story not only because it sets up many of the great stories that followed it, but also because it begs a very fundamental question that still plagues the Marvel Universe: should the Avengers or the Mutants have the power to decide whether or not to contain a character who has a lot of power?
The House of M story arc launches by asking this very question. The story opens with Wanda Maximoff who seems to be falling deeper and deeper into insanity. For those unfamiliar with the character, Wanda (Scarlet Witch) is the daughter of Magneto and sister to Pietro (Quicksilver). She has the ability to alter reality by simply wishing something to be. This power of hers has gone unchecked (which is, in itself, crazy) and the fact that it has gone unchecked for so long is pointed out by Avenger Dr. Stephen Strange. The thing is, the more Wanda uses her powers to alter reality to do her bidding, the more she loses her grasp on reality. The result is, essentially, a ticking time bomb: if Wanda continues to use her powers and fall further into insanity, she will eventually have a nervous breakdown and all she will have to do is wish for everyone to be dead and, well, they would be. Wanda becomes increasingly more difficult to control: so much so that Charles Xavier is forced to drug (where are your medical ethics, Chuck?!) her just to psychically force her to sleep.
Charles realizes early on that he, the most powerful telepath in the world, can no longer contain Wanda's minds. That if she loses control, there is a chance everyone could die. This is where the story's premise comes into play: should they, as Emma says, "put her down" or is it completely unethical to do so, even if there is a chance that she could destroy everything and everyone around her (just look at Genosha!)?
Beyond the moral and ethical premise of this story, is a series of really brilliant moments that are shared between Pietro and his father, Magneto in the first issue. Pietro (Quicksilder) realizes that the Avengers and the X-Men must decide whether or not to kill Scarlet Witch because she is too much of a loose cannon: but is it their right? Beyond that, she is still his sister and he loves her; there must be something Magneto should be able to do. This scene shared between father and son is revisited in issue #7 of HOUSE OF M (arguably the best issue in this arc) and leads to an incredibly profound and emotional series of panels depicting a wedge that literally drives the family apart.
The story is not from too long ago, begs a series of important questions, and it's still really relevant. It also leaves readers wondering who to sympathize with. Is this really all Scarlet Witch's fault, or was she driven into madness because of the decisions her father, Magneto, made? Are his ideologies what drove HOUSE OF M? Did Wanda really have any other choice? The story asks a lot of ethical questions: from whether anyone has the right to preemptively strike in order to contain a possible threat, to whether an individual should be held completely responsible for his or her actions and state of mind and, how much should external influences factor in?
Did you read HOUSE OF M? Did you enjoy it? What are some of your thoughts on the questions posed above, and, do you believe it is essential reading?

The Montcada is just a couple of minutes walk from the cathedral (the medieval one, not Sagrada Familia) and the shops and restaurants of the gothic quarter. It's also within easy walking distance of La Rambla and Placa Catalunya. We didn't use it it, but there is a metro stop just across the road if you're going further.
Inside the hotel is clean and pretty modern. The room was comfortable and a decent size, including the bathroom. Only slight downside was the in room air con either isn't very good or was broken. We did report it but it didn't improve. This is strange because otherwise the staff were great - very friendly, considerate and helpful.
There's also a pretty cool roof terrace which was a nice spot for a quiet drink in the evening.

Other civil-rights advocates strike the same foreboding tone. Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree insiststhat black voting rights are "being threatened at a level we haven't witnessed … since before the Voting Rights Act was passed." A spokeswoman for MALDEF, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, says the court's ruling "tries to disenfranchise Latinos and minorities from voting." The NAACP's Sherrilyn Ifill expresses alarm at a decision that "leaves virtually unprotected minority voters in communities all over this country.… This is a real threat."
I realize that part of this is posturing for effect by those with a vested interest in provoking racial anxieties. But I don't doubt that much of the fear and anger is genuinely felt, kept alive by communal memories of slavery and segregation that still exert a powerful psychological toll. To most Americans it may be an obvious and happy fact that the evils of Jim Crow are gone for good. For too many blacks, however, the chains of remembrance make it impossible to believe that the old racist impulses aren't still smoldering, ever ready to ignite.
Our capacity to remember, and to draw meaning from our memories, is invaluable to our humanity. I was raised in a Jewish tradition thatraises remembrance to the level of religious obligation – "Remember what Amalek did to you along the way when you came out from Egypt" is one such injunction – and among a community of Holocaust survivors for whom "Never Forget" became almost an 11th Commandment.
But there is such a thing as remembering too much, of being so focused on the horrors of the past that present realities become permanently distorted. A child who lived through the Depression becomes a lifelong hoarder of string and scraps, incapable of accepting that the abundance she knows today won't be gone tomorrow. The same thing can happen to communities, groups, and nations. Collective remembrance can be ennobling and enriching. But it can also be debilitating.
Many American Jews, for example, are so indelibly shaped by historical memories of Christian anti-Semitism that they find it impossible not to be suspicious of the sincere philo-Semitism so common among evangelical Christians today.
Or consider a more global example: the impact of collective memory on modern European defense policy. Scarred by two horrendous world wars, much of Europe came to the conviction that military might and nationalist feeling are fundamentally illegitimate, and that security is best ensured through treaties, multilateral organizations, and the minimizing of sovereignty. The result, time and again, has been a rift between US administrations that believe in peace through strength and a European establishment that embraces appeasement as the safest response to aggression.
It is true, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her passionate Shelby County dissent, that "what's past is prologue." But what it is prologue to is not always more of the same. Sometimes the evils of the past really do lead to heartfelt — and permanent — progress. Even if some people, paralyzed by memory, cannot bring themselves to believe it.

With Forsberg out, trades 'logjam' should open
Updated: February 18, 2008, 9:06 PM ETBy Scott Burnside | ESPN.com
NAPLES, Fla. -- The biggest news of the day at the NHL general managers meetings Monday wasn't the addition of a player, but rather the subtraction of one.
Peter Forsberg, on the wish list of a handful of contending teams, announced through his agent Don Baizley that uncertainty over the durability of his wonky foot led him to decide not to return to the NHL this season.
The decision was disappointing to teams that were still in the running to acquire the veteran ...

pygame / docs / reST / ref / scrap.rst
EXPERIMENTAL!: meaning this api may change, or dissapear in later pygame releases. If you use this, your code will break with the next pygame release.
The scrap module is for getting and putting stuff from the clipboard. So you can copy and paste things between pygame, and other application types. It defines some basic own data types
to be placed into the clipboard and allows to use define own clipboard types. SCRAP_PPM, SCRAP_PBM and SCRAP_BMP are suitable for surface buffers to be shared with other applications, while SCRAP_TEXT is an alias for the plain text clipboard type.
The SCRAP_* types refer to the following MIME types and register those as well as the default operating system type for this type of data:
SCRAP_TEXT text/plain for plain text SCRAP_PBM image/pbm for PBM encoded image data SCRAP_PPM image/ppm for PPM encoded image data SCRAP_BMP image/bmp for BMP encoded image data
Depending on the platform additional types are automatically registered when data is placed into the clipboard to guarantee a consistent sharing behaviour with other applications. The following listed types can be used as string to be passed to the respective :mod:`pygame.scrap` module functions.
For Windows platforms, the additional types are supported automatically and resolve to their internal definitions:
text/plain;charset=utf-8 for UTF-8 encoded text audio/wav for WAV encoded audio image/tiff for TIFF encoded image data
For X11 platforms, the additional types are supported automatically and resolve to their internal definitions:
UTF8_STRING for UTF-8 encoded text text/plain;charset=utf-8 for UTF-8 encoded text COMPOUND_TEXT for COMPOUND text
As stated before you can define own types for the clipboard, those however might not be usable by other applications. Thus data pasted into the clipboard using
pygame.scrap.put ("own_data", data)
can only be used by applications, which query the clipboard for the "own_data" type.
New in pygame 1.8. Only works for Windows, X11 and Mac OS X so far. On Mac OSX only text works at the moment - other types will be supported in the next release.

LDB authors are active in a wide range of research publication. These opinion pieces are some of the most recent contributions in areas relevant to LDB's mission." The following opinion pieces may illuminate issues of interest to LDB readers, although they do not necessarily reflect the views of LDB.
In a recent report, "Anti-Semitism on Campus: A Clear-and-Present Danger," Dr. Harold Brackman, of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, examines the continuing issues of discriminatory cases of anti-Semitism occurring on many college campuses across the nation.
read full article
The sweet faces of the two young Israeli women hacked to death by Palestinians last month pain Israelis deeply, and the indifference to these murders and so many others confounds them. Dafna Meir, a 38-year-old mother of 6, was stabbed to death in her home on Jan. 17; Shlomit Krigman, slaughtered Jan. 26 near her local grocery, was 23.
The Israeli Students Combating Anti-Semitism (ISCA), a project by The National Union of Israeli Students (NUIS), recently released a media report examining Adolf Hitler's presence online.
Malicious campaigns to intimidate Jewish and other pro-Israel students and faculty into silence are occurring on far too many North American college campuses. Driven by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and its many off-campus enablers, the campaigns are loud and they do not care about appearing extreme.
When New Jersey lawyer Stephen Flatow sent an email to some history professors earlier this month he may have hoped for a different response.
The Louis D. Brandeis Center is joining with the Academic Council for Israel (ACFI) and other groups on this important petition.
The new EU labeling policy calling for special labelling for Israeli goods related to "settlements," as well as other restrictions and outright exclusions on some such products, has stirred up a global controversy and left many in the Jewish and international community greatly concerned.
Numerous studies have documented that college campuses are increasingly hostile not just to Israel, but to all Jewish students. Most Jewish high school graduates are unprepared for the onslaught of antisemitic and anti-Israel propaganda they will encounter.
Founder and president of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law Kenneth Marcus offers an indispensable book about the manner in which anti-Semitism has evolved from the ancient world to the present, from religious anti-Judaism to secular anti-Semitism.
On Tuesday, December 2, Students Supporting Israel at Indiana University passed a resolution in its student government that adopts the United States' State Department's Definition of Anti-Semitism.
Recently, LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus gave an enlightening interview to Jason Shulman for the New Books in Jewish Studies podcast series. The interview focused not only on Marcus' new book, The Definition of Anti-Semitism, but also on the troubling resurgence of anti-Semitism in American higher education.
In August, the European Social Association (ESA), an academic association of sociologists and a non-profit Europe-wide association made up of over 2000 member scholars, approved ethical guidelines holding that "its members, conference participants and partners are not to be discriminated against in any way, direct or indirect, including boycott of themselves or their institutions, based on their ethnic, national [or] religious…backgrounds."
On Wednesday, Pope Francis waded into the ongoing discussion about anti-Semitism. He told a Jewish audience, "To attack Jews is anti-Semitism, but an outright attack on the State of Israel is also anti-Semitism."
Activists campaigning for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel recently called for an "international wave of action in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle" and promoted the planned events on social media under the hashtag #SolidarityWaveBDS.
The Times of Israel reported last week that according to the latest annual US State Department Annual Report on International Religious Freedom, the level of anti Semitic incidents continues to rise in Europe. That report found that the rise in European anti Semitism was tied to criticism of Israeli policy.
Earlier this month, LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus had an online interview with Rabbi Herschel Finman for his radio show, The Jewish Hour, to discuss his latest book, The Definition of Anti-Semitism, and anti-Semitism on American college campuses.
The Jewish Hour with Rabbi Finman, for October 4, 2015. Rabbi Finman talks to Kenneth Marcus, author of "The Definition of Anti-Semitism".
One might think that a book entitled "The Definition of Anti-Semitism" would be very short. The author would explain it means hatred of and bigotry toward Jews and that would be it.
Today, LDB submitted comments to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in response to a request to contribute to a UN report about space for civil society.
Geoffrey R. Stone and Will Creeley were two-thirds right in their Sept. 27 Sunday Opinion commentary, "Restoring free speech on campus." They were right to denounce academic censorship.
On September 16th UC regents decided to reject the proposed statement of principles against intolerance because it inadequately addressed the problem of anti-Semitism on UC campuses, the reason for which it was first proposed.
The California Legislature recently took a courageous step and unanimously passed a resolution that "urges each University of California campus to adopt a resolution condemning all forms of anti-Semitism."
This summer, the Jewish community was rightly focused on the existential threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions.
As we all know, anti-Semitism is on the rise globally. Here in the U.S., it is our campuses and students that are experiencing the brunt of it. A recent study published by Trinity College and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law found that 54% of Jewish college students had experienced or witnessed anti-Semitism in the past year.
Many of the world's leading scholars of anti-Semitism, including LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus, have just issued the following joint letter urging University of California President Janet Napolitano and the University of California regents to adopt the U.S. State Department definition of anti-Semitism:
Do we need to have a definition of anti-Semitism? Most people think they already know what it means.
Peter Weinberger is a senior program officer at the U.S. Institute of Peace who has interesting ideas about how conflict analysis tools can be applied not only to the Arab-Israel conflict but also to the resurgent problem of campus anti-Semitism.
In The War of a Million Cuts, Manfred Gerstenfeld describes the growth of anti-Semitism in the world and how it is often hidden behind anti-Israel comments.
Does it matter how we define our words? Sometimes it does. The U.S. Department of Education understands this point, as do the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Universities need to learn it, too.
An important decision is coming up at the end of July that could be a major step forward in fighting anti-Semitism on college campuses.
No issue on American college campuses today is more toxic and divisive than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For a decade now, "Israeli Apartheid Weeks," which posit Israel as another South Africa, have featured extreme anti-Zionist events.
The vote on the Trade Promotion Authority bill ("TPA") is still up in the air. Having already passed through the Senate, the House will vote on the bill in the coming weeks.
In 2002, Congress passed Section 214(d) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, which permitted American Citizens born in Jerusalem to identify on their passport that they were born in Israel.
On Wednesday, Brandeis Center President Kenneth L. Marcus and Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) President Sarah Stern educated congressional staff and others on the history, current status, and problems of Title VI of the Higher Education Opportunities Act.
In a major setback to the BDS campaign, the Washington State Supreme court reversed a lower court's ruling yesterday and struck down the state's anti-SLAPP statute as unconstitutional.
In 2013, Goldberg was one of four students forced to leave an anti-Israel forum at Brooklyn College because they were holding pro-Israel fact sheets.
At the end of her sweeping probe into the normalization of anti-Semitism on American campuses, Ruth Wisse lays down a double challenge.
The 2014 Kantor Center annual report highlights a 38% worldwide increase in violent anti-Semitic incidents compared to 2013. The Kantor Center, based at Tel Aviv University, specializes in contemporary European Jewry and publishes an annual detailed report on anti-Semitism worldwide.
On April 15th, the University of California – Santa Barbara (UCSB) Student Senate rejected a BDS resolution by a short majority, with 13 no, 12 yes and one abstention.
The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law's (LDB) Law Student Chapter Initiative, started last year, continues to expand!
The Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) movement is not only growing on American college campuses, but also at European universities.
Anti-Semitism is a combination of religious, ethnic, and racial prejudice aimed at those who are or are thought to be Jewish. It can take many forms, including bigotry, bullying, defamation, stereotyping, hate crimes, acts of bias, or scapegoating.
Last year, the British scholar Alan Johnson spoke up against a resolution to boycott Israel at the National University of Ireland, Galway. As he recounts the experience, "Anti-Israel student activists tried to break up the meeting by banging on the tables, using the Israeli flag as a toilet wipe, and screaming at me, again and again, 'Fuck off our fucking campus you fucking Zionist!'"
"I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
As we were reminded this week, hate is alive and well on our nation's campuses.
Yishai Fleisher interviews LDB President Kenneth L. Marcus on Voice of Israel. Their topic is recent campus anti-Semitism and the new LDB-Trinity College study of anti-Jewish incidents.
Fantastic news for UC Berkley's Jewish students came this week. On Wednesday, February 25th, the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) unanimously passed a bill in their senate that condemns campus anti-Semitism.
During his Boston stay, Kenneth Marcus (pictured above) answered these questions for The Journal:
A study released today reveals the shocking height and geographic and denominational breadth in anti-Semitic incidents on U.S. campuses over the past year.
The Brandeis Center works to combat anti-Semitism on college and university campuses across the nation, through, research, public outreach, legal advocacy, and most recently, our law student chapters.
In the campus war against Israel, the all too familiar refrain from anti-Israel activists, many of whom form the loose coalition of groups and individuals spearheading the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, is that their quarrel is only with Israelis and their government's policies, not with Jews themselves.
Though Jews believe in the coming of the Messiah to set everything straight, I would argue that Judaism is a present-oriented religion in a praxis with the past.
I am delighted to help inaugurate this forum on academic freedom. Academic freedom is essential if universities are to succeed in their missions of creating and disseminating knowledge.
The UK Home Secretary Theresa May recently proclaimed, "We must all redouble our efforts to wipe out anti-Semitism."
Earlier this month, the University of Chicago released a praiseworthy update to its policy on freedom of speech.
The University of California—once home of the legendary Free Speech Movement—has an academic freedom problem.
Who wants to "stifle" free speech on campus, and who wants to protect it? In their Nov. 21 op-ed on The Hill's Congress Blog ("Stifling of free speech on campus"), Sondra Hale and Bekah Wolf criticize the Louis D. Brandeis Center's efforts to ensure that federally funded Title VI outreach programs provide the "diversity of perspectives" that the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) already requires.
In the U.S., "anarchist" was once a dirty word. Following the 1886 Haymarket Bombing in Chicago, in which 11 including seven policemen were killed by anonymous bombers, cartoons appeared nationwide of wild-eyed, suggestively Germanic anarchists blowing America to hell.
Violence to change or impact the existing order may be as old as humankind. In terms of collective violence—let's use the term "mob" for a phenomenon that may start small but can even morph into a revolution—it has had varied political, economic, and religious-ethnic motives over the course of the last thousand years in western societies.
Attacks on kosher restaurants in Paris. Anti-Jewish extremist groups growing in Latin America. Anti-Semitism repeatedly rearing its ugly head on American college campuses.
It all started when I took out some anti-BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) information sheets at a Brooklyn College-sponsored event last year that featured Omar Barghouti, the founder of the BDS movement. You'd expect that of any student opposed to the speaker's anti-Israel views.
"What if the Jews themselves were Nazis?," mused French philosopher, Vladimir Jankélévitch in 1986. "That would be great. We would no longer have to feel sorry for them; they would have deserved what they got."
The recasting of Israelis, and, by extension, Jews as Nazis has, in fact, taken place, just as Jankélévitch envisioned.
Writing shortly after the publication of Max Blumenthal's anti-Israel screed "Goliath" a year ago, Eric Alterman noted that it would be "no exaggeration to say that this book could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed)."
Is the academic boycott against Israel anti-Semitic?
Variations of that question come up again and again in a new book of essays, The Case Against Academic Boycotts of Israel, edited by Cary Nelson and Gabriel Noah Brahm.
As Congress considers measures to reauthorize the Higher Education Act (HEA), members should know that academic integrity on U.S. college campuses is under assault, and so is our national security – from the same source.
It's bad enough to see anti-Semitism stalking our universities again; it's even worse to discover that your tax dollars are paying for it.
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the misuse of federal funds under Title VI of the Higher Education Act ("HEA"). Despite congressional reforms adopted during the 2008 reauthorization of the HEA, many recipients of federal aid under Title VI continue to use taxpayer funds to support biased, politicized, and imbalanced programs of Middle East Studies.
After this summer's events in Israel and Gaza, anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activity on U.S. college campuses this academic year has the potential to be explosive.
While everyday anti-Semitism has become part of the fabric of Western European life in a way it has not been since the 1930s, the situation in the U.S. is also becoming troubling. I would compare American manifestations of anti-Semitism to ugly boils on the body politic whose poisons have not yet entered the bloodstream.
According to French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, "the world needs to impose a solution" on Israel to achieve Mideast peace.
Of course, he gave lip service to "Israel security" without any concrete suggestions for curbing Hamas' genocidal campaign against the Jewish state.
The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law launched law student chapters that will fill an important gap in American legal education, offer the opportunities that members seek, and provide a resource to other members of the university community.
UK: In a post that appeared on his Twitter feed, Liberal Democratic MP David Ward wrote, "The big question is – if I lived in #Gaza would I fire a rocket? – probably yes", followed by another tweet shortly thereafter, that reads "Ich bin ein #palestinian – the West must make up its mind – which side is it on?" Later, facing discipline by how own party, he offered a tepid apology: "I utterly condemn the violence on both sides in Israel and Gaza."
This morning, I had the distinct honor and pleasure to file an amicus brief co-written with Prof. Eugene Kontorovich, in Zivotofsky v. Kerry, the "Jerusalem passport case." We filed on behalf of the Brandeis Center for Human Right Under Law, on whose Legal Advisory Board I serve, and twelve leading professors of foreign relations and constitutional law from across the ideological spectrum
At their General Assembly on Friday, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted to divest from three companies that supply Israel with equipment used in the West Bank and in the blockade of Gaza.
It's not much of an exaggeration to say that we live in an age when almost every headline story has become a Rorschach Test for spin doctors on cable news or in cyberspace. Their purpose is not to promote dialogue leading to some sort of shared understanding but to further fuel current political polarizations with wildly different, ideologically driven interpretations.
In a recent issue of Time magazine, Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie, former president of the Union for Reform Judaism, writes that anti-Semitism is "not a threat to American Jews." He could not be more wrong.
Let us start with the obvious. Any threat to world Jewry is a threat to American Jews.
Over the last few weeks, the Holocaust has appeared surprisingly often in the news. In most cases, the reason has been the surprising degree of ignorance or denial that so many people have about this cataclysmic event. The most disheartening reports have addressed the role of educators in spreading misinformation. Worse, they have illustrated that Holocaust denial is not just an ordinary form of ignorance but rather a modern cloak for the return of old-fashioned anti-Semitism.
When I was six years years old, my parents taught me not to say "the baddest word in the world." Not being exactly Victorian prudes, the word they had in mind was not "sex." But it was closely related and started with an "f." Today, that word in politically correct circles starts with an "r."
The Brandeis Center has urged Vassar College President Catherine Bond Hill to take penalizing action against the college's chapter of SJP, Students for Justice in Palestine. In a letter to Vassar President Catherine Bond Hill on May 19th, 2014, "We believe that this incident may raise serious issues concerning federal civil rights law." SJP recently posted a Nazi propaganda poster on their Tumblr page.
Recently, there have been disturbing developments at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Students for Justice in Palestine, or SJP, has been making moves to block pro-Israel, Jewish groups groups from getting a fair voice in campus policy-making. What is even more surprising, and maybe even sickening, is that no other groups are being targeted.
Such eye-popping ADL findings as that 26 percent of the world's population qualifies as "anti-Semitic" (i.e., harbors at least 6 of 11 core anti-Semitic attitudes) and that 35 percent has never heard of the Holocaust are receiving blanket media coverage. They are available in detailed strokes—but with a Methodology section that I suspect will leave statisticians wanting more—at: http://global100.adl.org/public/ADL-Global-100-Executive-Summary.pdf
Vassar College, which describes itself as "a highly selective, residential, coeducational liberal arts college," has recently attracted a lot of attention because of the energetic activism of so-called "pro-Palestinian" groups like Vassar's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) who were apparently supported by dozens of faculty members.
Veteran anti-Israel activist Ali Abunimah is currently touring US campuses to hawk his recently published book "The Battle for Justice in Palestine." As anyone even vaguely familiar with Abunimah's prolific writings at his Electronic Intifada blog will know, his idea of "justice in Palestine" requires doing away with the world's only Jewish state, and the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) campaigns against Israel that he champions so tirelessly are designed to help achieve this goal.
Few recent news articles captured more attention than reports that Jews in Ukraine were being ordered to register. Then it turned out that the pamphlets ordering Jews to register might be something of a hoax or a political stunt.
The anti-Zionist – and sometimes also anti-Semitic – website Mondoweiss recently published a lengthy report by the site's founder Philip Weiss about a meeting that took place at Vassar in early March. According to Weiss, the meeting had been scheduled by the school's Committee on Inclusion and Excellence in order to discuss guidelines for activism after persistent protests by Vassar's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) against a trip to Israel planned by Vassar's International Studies program.
The "You Don't Have to be Jewish to Love Levy's Real Jewish Rye" ad debuted 50 years ago this year. Of course, you also don't have to be Irish to march at the front of the official St. Patrick's Day Parade. Unlike David Dinkins in 1993 and Bill de Blasio this year, New York's Jewish mayors have never boycotted the Parade despite the running controversy over its exclusion of organized gay participants.
Judith Butler and Rashid Khalidi, both well-known academics and high-profile supporters of the BDS movement campaigning for "boycotts, divestment and sanctions" against Israel, have issued a statement that was originally circulated under the dramatic title "Support Freedom of Expression! Oppose Intimidation!"
Four academic associations have now also endorsed anti-Israel boycotts.
On American university campuses, the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement is different in many ways and stronger than it was just a few semesters ago. Here are 10 ways that things have changed lately:
Recently, anti-Israel activists have become active on several American law school campuses, conducting controversial events at Columbia, Fordham, Davis, and elsewhere. Meanwhile, activists have created hostile environments for Jewish students at several universities.
The backlash continues against the anti-Israel boycott resolution that the American Studies Association adopted last month. Over 200 university presidents have distanced themselves from it. Numerous other organizations, including the American Association of University Professors, have condemned it too.
Jewish students and activists are claiming victory this morning after beating back yet another anti-Israel boycott resolution at the University of California at Riverside in the early hours of this morning. Professionals at StandWithUs, a leader in the battle against Israel boycotts, divestments, and sanctions (BDS), report that the final vote on this divisive measure was six in favor, seven against, and one abstention.
BDS is back on American college campuses, especially on the West Coast — if indeed it ever left. For the last several months, public attention has been focused on successful boycott campaigns staged by anti-Israel groups at American academic associations such as the American Studies Association and the Asian American Studies Association.
I was saddened this morning to learn that Barry Rubin, a brilliant and prolific scholar of Israel and Middle East Studies, had passed over the weekend. Barry had been struggling with cancer for quite some time, and his continued surge in productivity over the last year, while battling serious illness, was nothing short of heroic. I had been privileged to know him through our work for Scholars for Peace in the Middle East.
Last Purim, Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind "blacked up" in an incredible display of bad taste. Jews in particular were appalled, but there's a subgroup of Jewish professors who may have felt vindicated. Practitioners of "the whiteness school"—prominent names include the late Michael Paul Rogin, Edward L. Goldstein, Jeffrey Melnick, and Karen Brodkin—argue that for performers like Al Jolson applying burnt cork was a strategy of ethnic assimilation.
The Modern Language Association (MLA) has blundered repeatedly over its treatment of Israel in the run-up to its annual conference this week. Technically the 30,000 member association is not contemplating a resolution to boycott, divest from, or sanction Israel (BDS) per se at this week's upcoming confab. I
The Brandeis Center held its first National Conference for Law Students in Los Angeles on January 2nd and January 3rd. This is part of the new initiative for law school chapters of the Brandeis Center.
What should we learn from the American Studies Association's lopsided December 15 vote to endorse the anti-Israel boycott? Here are five takeaways:
The lid has finally blown off the simmering cauldron. For about a month, there have been reports of "knockout attacks," mostly in Northeastern cities. These reports have not looked too closely at the ethnicity of the attackers while generally characterizing the attacks as "random" and lacking the specificity of "hate crime" targeting.
The modern Western university faces an existential threat. The danger is not what you think. It is not the cuts in government funding, the skyrocketing cost of tuition, the explosion of student debt, the rise of massive open online courses, the decline of residential learning, or the death-spiral of the humanities.
All too often, professors proclaim their allegiance to the principles of academic freedom and then take action that violates those very principles. Sadly, this is often the case when it comes to academia's attitude toward the State of Israel and its institutions of higher learning.

I will never be accepted by my peers
Because it's a lie to say that
It is my right to be an original person
My flaws do not define me
Is a lie
I am not beautiful
I am not perfect
Because I refuse to believe that
I am worth it
I have no power over my destiny
And I am lying when I say that
I believe in myself
Because of my skin, hair, and tastes
I should be an outcast
And I refuse to believe
Someone can understand me
If they just listen to me
My size matters
And no one can convince me that
I am pretty without makeup, fashionable clothing, or attention
And we will never love ourselves if we believe that these stereotypes define us

Reverse Poem by Dracosphere shows us there really are two sides to every story, or poem as it happens. ( Suggested by GenericArtistNumber1 and Featured by inknalcohol )
Very well written! I remember seeing the the first time and going, "What the...?" then coming back a day later and actually reading it backwards. Best poem I have ever read.
damn...again? nice!
holy cow!!!! this is absolutely crazy!!!!!!! thank you so much for something so awesome!!!
The shit?! You got a DD....the fuck?
LOL that was LITERALLY my reaction when I saw it, and then I was like 'Hell Yeah!'
Whenever I feel down I read this and then read it upwards like a million times
Wow! Such a creative way to express two things at once! I wish I had your command of the language. Nicely done -- and not just some cheap parlor trick, but the thought in this is deep... and pertinent universally.
Yeah, I had to learn the structure of a reverse poem for a project, and so I decided to talk about issues concerning how we view ourselves.
I'm also on my high horse whenever writing poetry, so....
But thank you so much!
I'm also on my high horse whenever writing poetry, so....
But thank you so much!
That was awesome. I definitely want to share that with my troubled daughter. Thank you for expressing what I so hard try to teach her.
This is excellent! I somehow missed this in DD on the 27th, so I'm glad I spotted it now! I appreciate this for the two entirely different meanings as well as the reversible structure, which I rarely see, especially done this well and with so important a message! I am sharing this among friends who will appreciate it for both!
This is an amazing poem! Very creative
Very well said. Congrats on your well deserved DD.
Gosh this is so beautiful. I showed it to a lot of people that needed it.
I've never seen a poem like this, and it's just simply amazing.
This is simply amazing. I've never seen this sort of a poem before, and it strikes me as a very effective one. Powerful messages here. Congrats on the well-deserved DD!
this is so inspiring and i have yet to figure out how you created not one but two beautiful poems in such a clever way <3
Thank you so much!
The basic structure is:
Negative statement (I'm ugly)
-denial statement (I don't believe)
Postitive statement (I am beautiful)
This is beautiful
Brilliant,my dear. Outstanding work!
That is insanely clever.

This volume explores how AIDS is understood, confronted and lived with through religious ideas and practices, and how these, in turn, are reinterpreted and changed by the experience of AIDS. Examining the social production, and productivity, of AIDS - linking bodily and spiritual experiences, and religious, medical, political and economic discourses - the papers counter simplified notions of causal effects of AIDS on religion (or vice versa). Instead, they display people's resourcefulness in their struggle to move ahead in spite of adversity. This relativises the vision of doom widely associated with the African AIDS epidemic; and it allows to see AIDS, instead of a singular event, as the culmination of a century-long process of changing livelihoods, bodily well-being and spiritual imaginaries.

Is there anything funnier in the classroom than when a student calls you 'Dad' or 'Mum' instead of Sir or Miss?!!
Is there anything funnier in the classroom than when a student calls you 'Dad' or 'Mum' instead of Sir or Miss?!!
When you ask a question to the class, and the answer is surprise flatulence. Farts are just plain funny.
Although, when a kid calls you mom or dad, that is pretty funny too. People have been called worse.
It's been a long time since I've taught kids so young they made that mistake, but when they're EFL pupils and they do it in their native language it sounds even stranger.
Even the kids think it is funny when someone calls you mum or dad. I think it is nice.
Its not just the young ones. I've had 15 year old lads call me dad before! He didn't hear the end of it for weeks!
I had a young boy call me "mommy" in front of his mom. She quickly corrected him and glared at me! LOL
I teach Prep and get it all the time the kids that do it usually have a laugh at themselves as well.
I have had a few students in my resource room call me mom, and done it repeatedly. This has been intentional. For some, it can be an accident, but for a few of mine, I think it has been intentional as they get the consistency they long for and certain expectations. All want to know they are loved and matter. It is too bad that some have to come to school to get that. One told me that if I was his mom, I'd make him clean his room and yell at him.
Hehe, it certainly is a funny association!
I teach 4 and 5 year olds.. I love it when they call me mom because I think it means they know they are loved at school too!
