Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H. Nelson in his analysis of the roots of economics and environmentalism and their mutually antagonistic relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The present debate raging over global warming exemplifies the clash of these two public theologies.

What if the case in question were the acid yellow Proenza Schouler iPad Case, which is easily the least iPad-case-looking designer iPad case I've seen since the advent of the product? How many more times do you think I can work the phrase "iPad case" into this post? I'd say that the over-under is six.
Anyway, this thing's kind of a looker, right? And at $685, it's cheaper than any of Proenza Schouler's other clutches by a long shot, and unlike most spendy iPad cases (1), this one actually has a functional front flap pocket and the same detailing as the rest of the brand's handbags. So I ask you: Why not leave the iPad at home, throw your regular stuff inside and carry this iPad case (2) as a clutch? (more…)

Just because you're in between Alpine treks doesn't mean you can't enjoy the scent of the wild. Inspired by the forest, this masculine fragrance (from the famed makers of the Swiss Army knife) is equal parts woodsy and refreshing. The ruggedly elegant bottle has a base and cap made from wood milled in the Swiss valley of Schwyz.
Just not a fan. Obviously everyone should try a sample of a scent before purchase, so I'm glad that it was in the monthly box. I suppose the scent would be considered 'outdoorsy' but I didn't feel it was very manly. Also, the sample is good for one spray, so if you spray it on a paper to smell it before you wear it, you're out of luck.3

Injection safety knowledge must needed
New, Simple Tools Help Busy Clinicians Double Check Injection Safety Knowledge, PracticesPosted on by
Author – Joseph Perz, DrPH, MA
Prevention Team Leader for the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion,
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
You might be thinking, "Is a knowledge refresher on injection safety really needed? Providers all know how to give safe injections!" Sadly, this is not the case. We at CDC have seen outbreak after outbreak related to providers not following safe injection practice standards as outlined in CDC guidelines. We also see patient notifications that inform patients that they "may have been exposed – please be tested." Failures in basic patient protections that we see include the reuse of syringes or needles; the reuse of single-dose/single-use vials; and mishandling of multi-dose/multi-use vials. With every outbreak or patient notification event that has occurred over the past 10 years, we have wondered how many other infections and exposures are slipping by, unnoticed.
The CDC and the Safe Injection Practices Coalition have released a safe injection toolkit geared specifically for busy medical practices. This free toolkit features a Power Point presentation with recorded audio, convenient for use during staff meetings, in-services, and other educational seminars. Other pieces include a no-cost Medscape CME activity, a safe injection practices training video, and a number of eye-catching posters to remind staff about the basics of injection safety.
The toolkit also gives providers access to all of the education and training materials of the SIPC's One & Only Campaign. All of the materials come with suggested uses. For example, the injection safety checklist is designed to help with routine reviews of your clinical team's practices, to ensure that your patients always receive safe care. Additionally, all staff involved in preparing or giving injections could be required to view the Medscape CME or safe injection practices video annually. With this information, all healthcare providers can refresh their injection safety knowledge and contribute to keeping their patients safe from unnecessary harm.
The bottom line is this: unsafe injection practices place patients at unnecessary risk for exposures to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV and assorted bacterial infections. We urge all healthcare providers to take this information and share it with your colleagues. Remember, injection safety is every provider's responsibility.
Also, see CDC's recent position statement about proper use of single-dose vials.

"CANADA - QUEBEC - MONTMAGNY" Montmagny by Regina1965
Montmagny Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 84 photos
I have visited Montmagny five times as I have good friends there and stay at their place. It is a serene little town, French speaking, with lovely people and is very dear to me. Some streets in it give me the feeling of having stepped back in time, the old part of town has got very beautiful houses.
Montmagny is called Canada's Snow Goose Capital and has a beautiful flag with the white geese, Oie Blanche (see my tip on the geese).
I have added random photos of Montmagny in a travelogue here as there are so many beautiful houses there.
It takes ca 5 hours to drive from Ottawa to Montmagny.
It is located by Saint Laurence river and the population is ca 11.000 people. There are many small beautiful villages by the river of which Montmagny is the biggest.
Each year there is an accordion festival in Montmagny which people from all over the world attend. During that time this beautiful town is crowded with tourists. And they have their own accordion museum.
Here is a good website with photos of Montmagny
There is a fantastic hotel in Montmagny. I have only visited it and had lunch there, but hope to stay there one day. On my picture you can see the tropical garden inside the beautiful Hotel L'Oiseliére. On display and for sale in glass cabinets at the hotels are a lot of dolls.
Hotel L'Oiseliére
- Pros:Montmagny is so peaceful and clean and lovely.
- Cons:Very cold in winter-time I have heard.
- In a nutshell:A wonderful, peaceful little village that is very dear to me.

Regina, fabulous page about Montmagny here. I once visited Quebec, but unfortunately didn't make it to this lovely town.
What a lovely area. The murals, waterfalls, apple orchards, sculptures I would love to see. We saw heaps of Apple Orchards in full flower on this last trip. So pretty!
I would love to go to Quebec.. At least I have been there with you....some sculpture!
The Victorian Homes are so lovely, as well as all the beautiful scultpures. Wonderful page!
Regina...thanks for stopping by the Tobago pages...mostly it was a treat to be there. I finally actually STOPPED in Montmagny last week..just long enough to get gasoline..I call it Mon Ami now..its easier to pronounce.. :o)
This certainly looks like a beautiful old town. Great that they have an accordion festival and even an accordion museum.
Looks like a wonderful place to visit and probaply to live in aswell.

Catching up on my reading this weekend and I noticed Dan Reed's post talking about the intersection of mobile devices and the cloud. I'm sure you've heard the term "Internet of things" which is a reference to the amount of Internet connected "things" in the world today. Not just PC's and phones but our cars, homes, and everyday objects like advertising billboards, road signs, street signs etc.
As I mentioned in the recent post on NUI in HTC phones, we're also seeing a proliferation of sensors in our world – GPS sensors are everywhere, accelerometers are becoming more commonplace. Light sensors are already ubiquitous (think of your alarm system at home) and heat sensors are also very common. When you start to integrate these connected devices, sensors and the cloud you get two things – a LOT of data and a lot of potential to have technology work on our behalf and make intelligent decisions or help us complete the tasks we're doing.
Some of this is here already of course – applications on our smartphones know when we perform a search for movies we're likely to be interested in where that movies is playing locally and at what time. My car is connected to my phone so I can play audio and make calls but it's not yet made the leap to pre-program the route to my next appointment – which is on my phone of course. Again, that's not a big leap – it's actually just a small amount of code. There are many more scenarios that begin to become possible – when I check in to a hotel, there is still to much systems integration for me to do to hook up my PC, music player and phone to the hotels systems. All of that could be stores in an online profile in the cloud to make my life easier – right now those systems are designed to make the hotel chain's life easier
When I'm out and about, the potential for connecting to sensors is huge – street signs that adapt to me, road signs that are personalized and the potential for upload of data from my car to the cloud is huge – collective traffic movements uploaded to the cloud could help everyone avoid gridlock for example. The list is endless and we're now reaching a point where these scenarios are possible – the connectivity is increasingly in place and our sensors are getting hooked up to the grid. That presents some challenges too and we're focused on the social side of things as much as the tech side here at Microsoft – folks like our Socio Digital Systems team in MSR, Cambridge think about this stuff in detail.
Dan's post talks of a project from MSR called the intelligent memory assistant which I like the sound of – a assistant that gives you what sounds like photographic memory for people, places and the like. If we can hook that up to the contact lenses with LED's that I saw last week, we're entering a new realm of augmented reality.
So What's Next? A world of ambient intelligence where technology is truly helping rather than hindering us. At last, I'll my lost car keys will be able to find me, rather than the other way around

How to Fix a Pen Drive Corrupted With Virus
Here are some recommendations (NB; this will only work under XP; as the utility used is no longer supported by HP and is not vista compatible)
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Make sure before you start your computer has fully updated antivirus, otherwise it will be fun for you...
2Download the HP usb disk utility from the link on http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
3Scan the file for a virus and then install it
4Run the HP usb utility, and format the usb drive (to FAT32 file format)
5Notice if the USB drive is not recognized by the utility. This is bad news; the USB drive is dead. This is very unlikely to have happened as a result of virus activity, and is more likely to be because of use, but either way, time to give up on it.

I would encourage you to watch Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 in addition to Part 4 of this series, as each Part builds upon each Part of the series.
Hello and welcome back to Second Chance to Live my friend. I am happy to see that you decided to stop by to visit with me. Several days ago I began a video series of an article series that I wrote several years ago. I create video presentations of my articles to empower individuals who learn through watching and listening. Through out this particular video series I share information that was pivotal in my process and journey. Information that helped me to stop fighting against, be at peace with and begin accepting myself.
Below is an excerpt from Part 4 of the article series:
Over the past 3 days I have been developing a series on Traumatic Brain Injury and the Process of Grieving. Through my process I discovered that I was using huge amounts of spiritual and emotional energy in ways that undermined my creative capacity to direct my passion through my gifts, talents and abilities. In my experience I found that I needed to grieve the losses created by my traumatic brain injury.
In Part 3 of this series Traumatic Brain Injury and the Process of Grieving, the second stage in the grieving process was introduced: anger. Per my experience, as I slowly became aware of my anger I realized that I had bought into a denial system that sought to keep me in denial through shame. Because I believed that I deserved to be shamed for not being enough, I internalized my anger. Debilitating guilt and debilitating shame convinced and contained me in denial because I believed that I was the problem and thus deserved to be shamed. Shame undermined my ability to trust.
Shame set the stage for me to become a reactor rather than an actor in life. Debilitating guilt and debilitating shame left me feeling helpless. Debilitating guilt and debilitating shame sabotaged my ability to trust the process, a loving God and myself. Debilitating guilt and debilitating shame drained my spiritual and emotional energy as I attempted to overcompensate for my unknown deficits and limitations. Through my process, I also discovered that much of my anger was buried under a mountain called debilitating guilt and debilitating shame. Consequently, I needed to address my debilitating guilt and debilitating shame.
Note: "As I understand, guilt is something one experiences when they do wrong. There is a way to resolve one's guilt by making an amends. Shame on the other hand is a being wound that reinforces to the individual that they do not just make mistakes, but that they are a mistake. Debilitating Guilt and Debilitating Shame reinforces that no amount of "punishment" or "amends" can take away one's guilt and shame. Debilitating shame and debilitating guilt leaves the individual feeling helpless and isolated.
An excellent book to understand and find freedom from the impact of debilitating guilt and debilitating shame is: Shame and Guilt – Masters of Disguise by Jane Middleton – Moz. This book has been instrumental in my recovery, healing process and ability to come out of denial. This book helped me to begin to love and accept myself as an individual before I realized the impact of my traumatic brain Injury and invisible disability. This book helped me to find the freedom to discover my creative self."

Anirudh Badam, Vivek S. Pai, and David W. Nellans
3 November 2013
Today, many system designers try to fit the entire data-set of an application in RAM to avoid the cost of accessing magnetic disk. However, for many data-centric applications this is not an option due to the capacity and high $/GB constraints of RAM. As a result, system designers are relying on NAND-Flash to augment RAM. However, rewriting the application to actively tier data between disk, RAM, and flash is a complicated process. Years of research has enabled some applications, namely databases, to tier efficiently, yet there are still large classes of applications that have no built-in tiering and a full application rewrite may take months or years. In this paper, we propose Chameleon, a system to augment RAM with NAND-Flash transparently. Chameleon removes most of the impediments to using flash via virtual memory. Chameleon is the first transparent tiering system to provide low-latency accesses to both RAM and NAND-Flash.
We show that applications using Chameleon, outperform applications using state-of-the-art tiering mechanism by providing more than two orders of magnitude improvement in latency for working sets that can fit in RAM. We also show that Chameleon provides upto 47% latency improvement for out-of-core applications. Finally, we show that Chameleon improves the flash device's lifetime by upto 8x.

Lid & Line is a pen-shaped wand that contains an eyeshadow and liner in coordinated tones as well as an applicator for softening edges. The eyeliner is a standard cream liner, which applies smoothly, but needs to be set immediately with the included eyeshadow or it will smudge easily and fade quickly. The eyeshadow end is provided for setting the liner as well as for lining the lower lash line. Applying the pre-dispensed shadow can be messy and the sponge-tipped applicator is a bit too large to allow for a thin, precise line. Lid & Lash is definitely meant for those looking to create a smokier eye design. The applicator is handy for blending the liner and shadow together. Of the available shades, only Smoky Mink is matte, the rest of the options have various amounts of shimmer. Lid & Line is a novel idea and convenient for travel, but the messiness of the shadow application keeps it from earning a high rating.

Comments about Pixi Lid & Line:
I use the pencil to line upper & lower lids, as well as sketch in crease shadow, then blend. A little touch of the powder to set the outer edges of liner and crease shadow, blend...perfect, stays all day. Smoky Mink is a neutral taupe with no shimmer, great for a smoky eye for daytime. I also use Smoky Gray, also no shimmer, for more intensity. Smoky Black has shimmer, & I use a little for nighttime drama. I have an artistic hand, so maybe it's easier for me, but I love these pencils.

Pixi At-A-Glance
Strengths: Tester units at the Target stores; complete ingredient lists on pixibeauty.com; excellent gel liner; great sheer cheek gel.
Weaknesses: Really overpriced; the Illuminating Tint & Conceal SPF 20 is poorly formulated, with irritants and an unreliable SPF; no decent concealer option; all eyeshadows are average at best; no customer care phone number available in the United States.
Swedish-born makeup artist Petra Strand is the creator of the Pixi line of makeup products. She started it in London, opening her first shop alongside the salon of her aesthetician sister, Sofia. The Pixi line is positioned as being packed with skin-beneficial ingredients that will help women get the "Makeup to Wakeup" essentials that they need to stock their cosmetics bags. That sounds cute and potentially helpful, but in fact the main ingredients in Pixi's makeup don't distinguish it as being more skin care–oriented than any other makeup product on the shelf.
Even if Pixi's products did have a two-in-one benefit it comes at a high cost. Although the line is sold at Target, it's priced as high as, and in some instances higher than, any line sold at a department store. However, these products are not makeup with a pronounced skin-care benefit, so they are not worth the extra money.
Of the new makeup artist lines now available at Target (JK Jemma Kid and NP Set along with Pixi), this one is actually the least impressive, and we predict it will be the first to be pulled from shelves. We recommend you shop this line with extra caution to avoid a pricey purchase that you're likely to regret or that you have to jump through hoops to return.
The good news is that, like fellow Target newcomers JK Jemma Kid and NP Set, the display for Pixi includes testers for every product. What a wonderful surprise! And if you happen to choose an item you're not happy with (hint: perhaps because there are better options for less from other lines) Target has a good return policy on cosmetics (just be sure to save your receipt—my strong opinion is that you'll need it).
For more information about Pixi visit www.pixibeauty.com or www.target.com.
Note: We were unable to locate a customer service phone number for Pixi and our e-mails to the company have gone unanswered. This is not a line to shop if you're expecting customer support beyond what Target offers.

Man, $110 for a Mega vs $240 for a Hacker, which is what, 5 % more efficient? Going with the Mega gives you $130 toward Lipos, which are a great weight saver. I know which one I picked, and it wasn't purple either!
Elevator Coupler
Yep, its a no brainer I am going with the Mega and Jeti 77 Advance. Is there really much difference in the Advance being labeled as being able to handle Lipo cells and regular cells? Will my HM-77-3P work just as well with a 9S2P and 22/30/2?
Thanks Joe
My Advance is not lipo configured. I bought it before the new version was released. In fact, All of my jets are lipo powered and none of them use lipo specific controllers. I haven't seen the need.
I see no difference between the h/m and the advance (IF) you use the mega motor. The timing options are ideal for the mega.
Hi Gregg, I was wondering how many flights you have had on the 9s2p so far. My curiosity is mainly toward the heat the Mega is seeing as well as the lipoly pack, and how long you are flying the model for for each hop. I know it is probably flying in upper 80 to low 90 degree weather so we're seeing realistic heat on the setup.
I've flown my 5s4p 8200mah lipolys in EDF a few times this year since it's been getting warmer and they still seem to be doing really well in 80 degree weather but I know the older 6C cells just can't hang in the heat like I suspect the newer 10C stuff can.
Thanks for all your data on your setup, it's helpful.
So far a total of 5 flights.
2 in the Panther which has no cooling. Ambient temps in the mid 70's to 80 deg.
3 flights in the E.B. Ambient temps from 70- low 90's. This one does have cooling air around the pack.
I have around 10 flights with the 8s2p in the Panther so far.
Flight times range from 5 min to 7min. I don't think I've been over 7 min.
The 8s wot is 8c and averages 5-6c over the flight duration.
The 9s wot is between 9 and 10c and averages 6c.
Well it looks like the Tanic pack is fully broken in.
The #'s have risen a bit.
First throttle up after a charge produced 1470w @ 47a
Here is a pic where it settled after 15-20 seconds. Pack was cold, so the numbers should rise when it warms up.
Haldor's video inspired me to get another flight in today
El Bandito
Wow Greg, that is seriously impressive. So do you like the Tanic Lipos more than you did the Thunder Powers? I am wondering about the new 10C 2000 TP cells if they will be as good as the Tanics? Your Bandito must really scream that Mega has really performed outstanding and would still do so if it cost twice as much I am impressed and will run one in my plane.
You've really got my interest here!! My GP3300s are great, and I was on the point of buying some more... but their weight is such a pain. No probs for a Tiger Moth but before I build more EDF jets I need lighter batts for 'em. And more duration
I'd be grateful for answers to a few Qs:
Have your packs got the Tanic Taps?
I've been surfing the Tanic website and can only find reference to 2150mAh and 2500 cells - is your 2200 a typo or have newer cells come along?
Also, your 9s2p pack looks as if it's made up from a pair of 9s1p packs paralleled - is that right?
Such a make-up would be great as for some models I'll need to have two packs joined in parallel with 5" leads between them. Please can you run a ruler over one of your 9s1p packs and tell us the measurements? Dimensions of the whole 9s2p will be fine as I can divide by 2
Also what's the make-up and dimensions of your 8s pack?
Sorry for all the Qs but your answers will help me to spend big bucks wisely
taps, yes
the 2150/2500's are newer generation 12c cells. same diminsions I believe.
Kevin's waiting on them now.
it's now configured as a 5s2p and a 4s2p serialed together.
total size of both packs taped together is:
48mm wide (26mm for the 5s and 22mm for the 4s)
55mm high
190mm long
wires are 80mm 12g
the 5s is really 2 cells in length x 5 wide
the 4s is 2 cells long x 4 wide

I've landed in Los Angeles, and I'm getting settled in temporary housing until I find my own place, but it's been a really busy couple of weeks, and I just realized that I didn't get a chance to post about the open positions that my (now former) team has.
First, more obviously, there's my old position, that of the Networking & Virtualization Administrator. The position is officially posted on Northeastern's Careers page, but I can tell you that you'd be responsible for a medium-sized relatively flat network infrastructure. There are a few dozen VLANs, all statically routed from the core switches, and around a thousand lit switchports. The hardware is mostly Cisco Catalyst, with the core being Cisco Nexus 5548s, although there are some virtual PFsense boxes running around too. You would be working with the (pretty friendly and competent) central ITS network admin to coordinate staff and faculty moves around the infrastructure, and with the university's security officer (who is also surprisingly friendly, given his line of work) whenever something weird pops up.
The role is also responsible for the VMware cluster, which currently consists of around 15 ESXi nodes and two vCenter instances (one for "production" use which has the vSphere Essentials Plus license) and the educational cluster, built out using VMware Academic licenses for classroom and academic use. They're backed by NetApp and Nimble storage, and it's this part of the job responsibilities that gives you a little more creativity to solve problems, since professors usually want interesting things. I've built some useful stuff in PowerShell, but there's no reason you have to use that long-term, if you want to solve the problems yourself.
Anyway, I really enjoyed my time in this position, and to be honest, I really miss the other staff members and students there.
In addition, the CCIS staff is growing. We got a new dean a little over a year ago, and one of the things she wants to do is to offer management of researchers' clusters in a more active manner, so we are looking for another Linux sysadmin (pretty much all of the researchers do work on Linux).
This position will involve a lot working with our current Linux admin to bring over the technology he has built to deal with our "managed" machines to help with our "unmanaged" or "soon to be managed" researcher-owned machines. Basically, there's nothing like this right now, so you would be inventing the role as you go. Exciting! Challenging! Rewarding!
Anyway, please, if you're looking for a position in Boston somewhere, take a look at Northeastern. It's easy to get to, there's free tuition for you, your spouse, and your children, and I feel like the staff that I worked with there are my family, and I miss them :-)
If you have any questions, please drop me an email and I'll be happy to help. Thanks!

Instead of using a digital circuit simulation, you can simply make use of an analog circuit simulation in order to achieve results that are simply one-of-a-kind. The fact is that there are various places where analogue simulation can be sourced out. So of you are aiming to search for an extremely powerful multicore simulation that is categorized as analog, it really helps to consider picking SPICE which is powered by a great sense of convergence. In addition, this kind of program simulation also offers a great sense of efficiency and accuracy at the same time.
Analog Circuit Simulation: What Does SPICE Include?
Aside from excellent convergence, accurate simulations and high efficiency SPICE also reliable when it comes to other features that are included in the program. Getting it from a trusted and reliable source, a SPICE program or software also includes Verilog AMS and Verilog A components. There are also other digital components such as Verilog and VHDL components are also added.
DC Analysis of an Analog Circuit Simulation
When it comes to the operation point of a DC, calculations are simply made what is called as DC analysis. This also holds true when it comes to the transfer of anything that has something to do with analog circuits. Through DC analysis, you are given the opportunity to display calculated nodal voltages by choosing a node using a cursor.
On the other hand, powerful methods are done to search for the operating point even when dealing with on-linear cases that also come with hard and strong convergence properties. This also allows you to calculate and display on the diagram the temperature dependence of currents and voltages in your circuit.
AC Analysis of an Analog Circuit Simulation
If you want to calculate RMS amplitude and the phase of currents and voltages then AC analysis is what you need to apply. This kind of analysis also works with the any selected parts' complex power. To display calculations of component currents and nodal voltages, you have to select the part, instrument or node with the aid of a cursor. AC analysis also allows you to plot the phase and amplitude of both Bode and Nyquist diagrams. This also allows you to get the complex diagram of a Phasor. And for circuits that are non-linear, the linearization of an operating point is usually done automatically.
Transient Analysis of an Analog Simulation
There are sites that offer analog circuit simulators and they happen to be in the form of mixed and transient mode. This gives you the opportunity to calculate the circuit time response prior to the waveform input. This also includes pulse, sinusoid, unit step, square, triangle, trapezoidal waveform, WAV files PWL table and excitations that are user-defined. You can also make use of components that come with initial conditions in order to permit acceleration and startup.

This review is from: Mount-It! Triple Freestanding Monitor Mount for Widescreen Monitors Up to 24"
Pros: Great price. Very well balanced on its base. Good flexibility for positioning monitors.
Cons: Out of the box the arms are slightly misaligned by half an inch.
Other Thoughts: A little bit of force was required to straighten them. A lot of reviewers here say that it is off by half an inch. This is true, but can be fixed. Loosen the bolts on the arms, pull up on them to straighten, then re-tighten the bolts. Brute force could also fix this, but be careful not to damage the joints.READ FULL REVIEW

This review is from: Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Air filtered at front, six HDD bays, three accessory drive bays, and bottom mounted power supply. All the features I was looking for. Bought it at local store. Both me and my roommate have one. Very robust and easy to install most components.
Cons: To mount the hard drives, you have to either remove all the riser cards from the motherboard first, or pop off the front fans. I didn't need hot-swappable hard drives though. It's also a tight fit for the largest of graphics cards, so leaving one of the HDD bays empty for the supplemental GPU power adapters is a good idea.
Other Thoughts: Everything you need, nothing you don't. It isn't flashy, but is the most functional and durable case I've ever used. Already built 3 rigs with this case.READ FULL REVIEW

I recently have been I guess blessed-to been able to have some wonderful "fat positive" conversations with a new friend and it inspired me to write my human behavior in the social environment paper on how our views of body shape has changed. Something intrigues me how we as society went from respecting and looking up to fat women to treating us like we are dirty, unhealthy and lazy. This is really going to be one very soul bearing paper which is what my teacher wants-she wants us to put ourselves into the paper.
Okay so maybe that's typical coming from a fat chick (Fat isn't a bad word, and we should stop treating it as such by the way) and I'm a little worried I just fed into some sort of F'd up stereotype but oh well screw em. We had to discuss our topics in class briefly and it got some really powerful conversations going. I am the largest person in my class and the four other women that I was talking to were all various sizes. One of them being someone that before she had her six (I know six!) kids she was a skinny woman that could eat anything she wanted and gain nothing and now can't loose the weight. It was interesting and really, really started me thinking.
Part of this paper is going to be not only soul bearing, but also a little bit theraputic as well. I have had a horrible time accepting my fatness (I apologize to anyone offended by that word but it's going to become my new happy word so I guess get used to it.) I have friends that are large and just ooze confidence and I envy them so much. I know I care a whole lot about what everyone else thinks about me and what they feel I should look like. I want to find a way to fully realize that if they cannot accept my fatness then I guess it's their problem-not mine. I have to admit I am a little scared to be this bare about a topic so close to home. I guess in a way its the chipping away at that final layer that I've used to protect me from people.
SO in closing this before I have to jet to work-there was a point for me posting this on here. I HATE writing thesis statements-i kinda suck at them but this is what i came up with and if anyone has some suggestions mention on-I don't normally ask for help with writing anything college related but in this case I figured why not ask a community filled with beautiful people that can understand where this is coming from.
"We live in a society where thin is in and the concept of a being a beautiful, shapely-fat woman has ceased to be a positive ideal. At what point did we loose the respect for curves and become obsessed with a body shape that for some is unrealistic creates low self esteem in women of all ages and completely throws to the side any notion that a big woman can be a beautiful woman."
So any thoughts?

China Leads US Military Fake Electronics Suppliersposted by Paul Fiddian | 22.05.2012
Fake Chinese electronic components in several types of US military aircraft and a host of weapons, posing major potential security risk
Long-suspected, it's now been confirmed that fake Chinese electronic components have found their way into several types of US military aircraft and a host of weapons.
Carried out by the Senate Armed Services Committee, a 12-month study into the proliferation of counterfeit parts from China discovered no less than 1,800 examples, with the aircraft types concerned including USAF Lockheed C-130J Hercules and Alenia C-27J Spartan transport aircraft, US Navy SH-60 Seahawk helicopters and brand-new US Navy Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime reconnaissance platforms.
Aircraft aside, fake components were also reportedly discovered in missile interceptors, thermal night-vision sights, the Stryker Mobile Gun design produced by General Dynamics and the GPS-based Excalibur shell made by Raytheon.
Fake US Military Parts
Overall, the committee's fake US military parts research linked back to China the majority of a suspected one million questionable components. US supply chain weaknesses and China's limited action against counterfeiters are both to blame, the researchers said, adding that if one of these electronic components failed, United States security could become severely compromised.
Over 650 companies had some involvement in the 1,800-strong list of counterfeit parts. With the sheer number of related supply networks involved, end users could no longer tell exactly where there parts had come from originally, the study reported.
Fake Chinese Electronics
Fake Chinese electronics dominated the Senate Armed Services Committee's counterfeit military components research on a per-country basis but also seen, a lot of the time, were Canada and the United Kingdom.
'Counterfeit electronic parts are sold openly in public markets in China', said the researchers, adding: 'Rather than acknowledging the problem and moving aggressively to shut down counterfeiters, the Chinese government has tried to avoid scrutiny.'
US warfighters are reliant on a wide range of 'small, incredibly sophisticated electronic components' integrated into a variety of systems technologies, they stressed. Just one of these malfunctioning could, potentially, have disastrous consequences.

"Pope Benedict XVI was here in September 2007" Mariazell by longsanborn
Mariazell Travel Guide: 59 reviews and 232 photos
My first visit to Mariazell was on 5 Jan 2008. It took around 2 hours to drive from Vienna city, but we enjoyed the long car ride through the snow-covered country-side.
Mariazell is a town in north Styria, well known for winter recreation and sports. It is a pretty and picturesque town situated in the valley of the Salza, amid the north Styrian Alps.
It is also the most important pilgrimage site in Austria and also has great meaning for Catholics in the neighboring countries to its east. The object of veneration is a miracle-working image of the Virgin, carved in lime-tree wood. This was brought to the place in 1157, and is now enshrined in a chapel lavishly adorned with objects of silver and other costly materials.
The large church of which the chapel forms part was erected in 1644 as an expansion of a smaller church built by Louis I, King of Hungary, after a victory over the Turks in 1363.
Mariazell is a good place for alpine mountain skiing and cross country skiing. There is even a skiing school nearby the town and the mountains.
My boyfriend arranged a surprise New Year gift for me; he booked a horse-sleigh ride for me with a private operator in Mariazell, who is also a farmer who owns some Shetland cattle.
So, I had my first horse-sleigh ride in Mariazell in the middle of Winter time. It was a 2-person horse sleigh pulled by one horse. Even though the day (and the 15-20 minutes ride around a frozen field/lake) was very cold and windy, but I had so much fun.
Here is a photo of me with the horse-sleigh operator and his lovely young strong horse from Tyrol, another region in Austria.
- Pros:Beautiful and pictureque, quiet and peaceful
- Cons:Need a car to get there; small town
- In a nutshell:"A little taste of heaven" by Mariazell town

Disrobing for Charity
Burlesque Dancers Strip for AIDS Walk
More than 25 burlesque performers disrobed for charity at the Wild Project in the East Village in a benefit for the AIDS Walk New York City. Audience members paid $50 to enter and were each given a take-home pair of handmade, multicolored pasties with tassels attached for twirling.
"And pasties are hard to find," said audience member Karen Eckhoff. "It's one of those things, you look for them, and you can't find them."
With 15 minutes to curtains up, two dressing rooms were crammed with artists in various states of undress applying eyelashes and negotiating their tech needs with performer/producer Rita MenWeep, the benefit's chief organizer.
"Mr. Gorgeous," she asked. "Does your partner have a name?"
"You can call him Jason," he said. "Or the Midnight Casanova."
They decided to go with the latter. Ms. MenWeep got the idea for the benefit four years ago when the company she worked for—she won't say which—offered to match funds. When her co-workers came up with rather weak ideas for raising money, she thought, "Wait a minute, I'm a burlesque producer. I have something to offer."
When asked if burlesque had become more mainstream in recent years, consensus in the dressing room was that it had. But a mention of the recent Cher/Christina Aguilera film provoked a collective groan. "Where was the nudity?" asked a performer called Cherry Pitz.
And then it was show time. "Give yourself a round of applause for taking time out of your busy schedule to do something positive and look at naked people," the host World Famous BOB, a self-described "female-female impersonator," said to the audience.
A dazzling array of performers followed with names like Veruca Honeyscotch, Bambi Galore, Creamy Stevens and Go Go Harder. Each shook, shimmied and stripped. One even did a St. Patrick's Day-inspired Irish step dance that involved pulling a potato and a tiny bottle of liqueur from beneath her traditional folk dress. The total earned: $2,008, which cosmetics company MAC matched.

Our 2016 report on Canada's banking sector finds Canada's Big Six banks generating strong revenues and posting solid returns. They also improved their 2016 first quarter results in relation to last year—despite low economic growth and falling commodity prices.
As these headwinds affect the Canadian economy and banking sector, the banks are working hard to respond to a growing and potentially profound shift in he financial services world. A host of new players have emerged, eager to use financial technology—FinTech—solutions to disrupt the global banking industry.
Capitalizing on the latest mobile, cloud and digital technologies, FinTech startups are targeting the intersection of profit pools and customer pain points with innovative, easy-to-use and cost-efficient solutions. The Canadian banks are not standing still and are devising strategies and initiatives to innovate and embrace the FinTech movement.
In our report, we explore how banks are collaborating with FinTechs to bring new solutions to market and help create a vibrant environment that combines the financial stability of banks with a creative and entrepreneurial spirit.
As the FinTech-driven movement gains momentum, Canada's banks are monitoring the evolution of this emerging ecosystem and actively pursuing opportunities to play an integral part in it. Banks recognize that they have much to gain from FinTechs' innovations: soon, many FinTech driven offerings may become pivotal elements in banks' operating models, enabling banks to reduce costs, reach underserved markets and open up new products and revenue streams.
To achieve this, a FinTech ecosystem needs to be embedded into the banks' transformation strategies to drive change across the organization—people, processes and technologies. It will challenge banks to really understand where FinTechs are succeeding, and either prepare to collaborate and integrate them meaningfully, or compete.
The FinTech movement is only going to gain momentum in the years to come, and Canada's banks continue to take ownership of the reinvention of banking. Embracing FinTech isn't a short-term play. It requires patience, discipline and a commitment to realizing long-term results.
See the six considerations that the financial services sector must consider when integrating FinTech in their strategy >
Peter Aceto
CEO, Tangerine Bank
When compared to other banks globally, Canadian banks remain well regarded. For the eighth consecutive year the World Economic Forum has ranked Canada's banks the soundest in the world1.
Here are some highlights for each of the Big Six Canadian banks from the past year (all data from each bank's annual report).
Mike Katchen,
CEO, WealthSimple
Cesar Rainusso,
Vice President and Head of North American Digital Channels, Bank of Montreal
Rizwan Khalfan,
Senior Vice President and Chief Digital Officer, TD Bank Group
Randy Cass,
CEO and founder, Nest Wealth
Based on a survey of 544 respondents, across 46 countries this report assesses the rise of new technologies in the financial services sector, the potential impact of FinTech on market players and their attitudes regarding the latest technological developments. Additionally, if offers strategic responses to this ever-changing environment.
81% of Banking and Capital Markets CEOs see the pace of technological change as a threat to growth and believe that technology is the trend most likely to transform the expectations of customers, regulators and other key stakeholders over the next five years.
70% of financial services CEOs see the limited availability of skills as a threat to growth, making this a bigger concern than the disruptive shifts in consumer spending and behaviour and competition from new market entrants. Yet only 28% are changing their focus on the skills and adaptability of their people.

Footage captured by CCTV overlooking an automatic railway crossing shows the moment a elderly man narrowly avoids serious injury.
21:56, UK, Wednesday 23 April 2014
A pensioner had a lucky escape when he narrowly avoided being hit by a train after ignoring a barrier on a level crossing.
The 77-year-old was scraped by the locomotive and fell to the floor but ended up with just minor injuries.
Shortly before, he had decided to bypass a barrier which had come down to stop people and vehicles crossing the track.
Thinking no train was coming, he started to walk across the rails slowly until he suddenly realised a train was approaching.
The man was forced to throw himself out of the way of the passenger service as it sped towards him.
Although he ended up on the floor, the pensioner managed to regain his feet and hobble off the track.
Local police in the Czech Republic said he will be fined about £75.

Shilpa Shetty's popularity seems to be increasing with each passing day. Joining the dusky beauty's long list of admirers is Britain's new Prime Minister, James Gordon Brown. The new PM, who recently took over from Tony Blair "has always had a special interest in India and has addressed our country as pulsating and dynamic," said Shilpa Shetty's spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar, in an interview this week.
Shilpa Shetty" src="http://www.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/pm_shilpa_big.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5">Bhagwagar was asked about the newly appointed British prime
minister, in regard to the political stalwart's earlier comments and
support to actress Shilpa Shetty.
During a diplomatic visit to India in January 2007, Brown responded to questions concerning perceived racism and bullying against Shetty on the British reality TV show 'Celebrity Big Brother' saying, "There is a lot of support for Shilpa. It is pretty clear we are getting the message across. Britain is a nation of tolerance and fairness."
Condemning the incidents on the reality show, he later stressed, the racism debate showed that Britain wanted to be "defined by being a tolerant, fair and decent country." He was also said to have advised a vote for Shilpa at the height of the controversy.
When quizzed about the Brit PM's high words of praise and support, Shilpa said, "I am absolutely overwhelmed with the love and respect shown to me by the people in Britain. All I want to say is that I will never ever forget it and strive to come up to everyone's expectations."
"Shilpa has received respect, love and affection of a lifetime from Britons. It is something all Indians would proudly remember for years to come," added Bhagwagar. Looks like Shilpa Shetty currently is without doubt 'the hottest thing from Asia' in the West.

Cuthah, modern Tall Ibrāhīm, ancient city of Mesopotamia located north of the site of Kish in what is now south-central Iraq. Cuthah was devoted to the cult of Nergal, the god of the lower world, and because of its sanctity it seems to have been kept in repair by all Sumerian and Semitic rulers down to a few centuries before the Christian era.
Alternative title: Tall Ibrāhīm
