Good Points
It's a flatbed scanner. It's 36 bit color. It has lasted for a very long time.
Bad Points
It's large, much larger than the new scanners with the same bed size. It's noisy. It's slow. It has no controls on the unit itself but the power switch.
General Comments
This is an older flatbed 26 bit color scanner. This scanner has been around for a while and has been used alot. It's slow but it meets my needs. I would prefer a newer unit, but this one works ok, and if I got a new one it would be USB and I would have this expensive SCSI card doing nothing. I do not know how much this scanner cost when it was new, because I got it for free. UMAX, I have been told, is a very good name brand. Yeah, I would recommend this unit- if you found one for cheap (They are not made anymore, I am sure).

Research Interests
Human Palaeogenomics & Molecular Anthropology
One of the key topics of our lab is human (genetic) population history (with a focus to South America but not restricted to that). We are especially interested in the role of the interaction of culture and biology in the formation of human genetic variability.
A central problem in understanding human evolution, dispersal, diversity, and health is how biology and culture interact. To identify the modes of mutual interference between both in the formation of prehistoric cultural complexity and human diversity, our lab not only considers archaeological and environmental archives but also the immediate connection: men itself.
Employing palaeogenetic methods to analyze genome wide DNA from human remains dating to different time periods allows us to monitor the evolution of human genetic diversity, population relationships, and the genetic consequences of exposure to environmental and epidemiological stressors in "real-time"
Our current projects (amongst other) use genome-wide ancient DNA to:
- infer the human population history of pre-Columbian South America
- study the interaction of climate change, cultural change and demographic development in South America
- the demographic and epidemiological impact of European Contact on Native American Populations
- study gene-culture Co-evolution and the genetic adaptation to environmental and social stressors(e.g. High Altitude Adaptation, Nutrition, Psychological Personality Traits)
- new projects focus on Host-Pathogen Co-evolution from a diachronic perspective (e.g. Chagas Disease,Malaria)

A fine color, lacks depth.
Posted by 4613605665590887610 on Jan 02, 2014
I have medium dark brown natural color with reddish highlights. But the top of my head is going gray fast. I've used the Chocolate color several times. It does cover the gray, until it doesn't, which is what I like about henna: it washes out gradually until one day it's just gone. No weird grow-in scalp line. However, the color is pretty straight, with no real depth. My grays get shiny-reddish as it washes out. However, I made the mistake of mixing Chocolate with Copper once with horrible results. Copper changes grays to yellow, not copper. Believe it. Just Ick.
Good as always
Posted by A1725-6887 on Feb 07, 2014
I have previously used this cream but in 'Burgundy' shade. Well, this one is no worse. Applies well and produces excellent results. However, I guess it's better to use the whole bottle if you have shoulder blade length hair, because I used only a half of it and somehow doubt it was a good idea. Anyway, no complaints about the product itself.
Gode farger

Har ikke fått testa denne, da jeg først prøvde lys brun og den var helt topp:):)
So far so good
Posted by Reviewer1880269 on Sep 27, 2015
Even if this product is not entirely "natural", containing some food color, it is pretty good so far. No allergic reactions or itching, and covered my gray hair much better than henna. Also very easy to apply, doesn't run off and did not stain my skin. Washes off good and leaves hair soft. I still need to see how long the color is gonna last. 100% henna doesn't last long, 10 days and it's gone. The bottle will last me for another application, at least, since my hair is quite short.
great stuff!
Posted by Reviewer1818532 on May 14, 2009
After deciding to give up chemical haircoloring, I tried this product and was very pleased with the result. of course it doesn't last as long as permanent haircolor but besides that the color is shiny and rich. My hair feels healthier than ever
Liked everything about it except the red color
Posted by Reviewer2504705 on Jun 18, 2009
This product is easy to use, and left my hair feeling great. It covered all the grey, but was more red in color than I was expecting. I'm going to try light brown instead.
bonito color
Posted by Reviewer2550882 on May 18, 2010
Tiñe las canas, y no da nada de alergia ni molestias, además deja el pelo muy suave y brillante.
Red tint, but nice.
Posted by Reviewer2716944 on Jun 30, 2011
I have light brown hair and used this dye. It came out a deep red-brown. It's a lovely color and suits me fine for now. The natural henna dye definitely left my hair feeling healthier than harsher dyes out there. The dark chocolate-brown with deep red hues is really nice. Just a little spark from regular deep brown. Other folks said to mix 1/2 of light brown and 1/2 of dark brown if you're really looking for a medium brown (and not red). Maybe I'll try that when I want to shift colors.
Natural hair colouring at last
Posted by Reviewer2094654 on Jul 11, 2011
Good to find an easy to use alternative to the overly toxic hair dyes available in mainstream shops. I'm looking forward to trying other colours and family members are making requests for the next order.
Henna today, no more gray
Posted by Reviewer3315401 on Jul 12, 2011
This does a great job of covering the gray. It is mild and conditioning which means I don't feel that it is a problem to color more frequently than with harsher chemicals. I don't want to wait until I have a full inch of gray to recolor. The chocolate color truned my gray into beautiful highlights in my dark hair.

For B2B Marketers It's A Matter of Time
Content marketing works and it is gaining more and more traction in the B2B space.
It's not a matter of whether or not someone is going to do some form of content marketing. Now it's a matter of how much is being done. Apparently according to the "2013 B2B Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends" which was put together by The Content Marketing Institute and Marketing Profs B2B marketers wish they could do more but it's a matter of time.
Not in a "Oh we will get to it" sense either. No, instead it's in a "We don't have enough time to do this!" manner which is troubling. (Click image to enlarge)
Take a little deeper dive though and we see that the issue of time is much worse for smaller companies than it is for larger ones.
The time concern is just one of the issues that pose problems for online marketers but it's the one that is the most troubling since you can't manufacture more time. Even if you could, good content takes a fair amount of time to do well. Compound that issue with the fact that not everyone is cut out to write content and many smaller players simply won't invest in outsourcing content creation. It's a short-sighted look at things and businesses suffer as a result.
Check out the entire report and get a strong sense of al things content marketing. How do your efforts stack up to the findings?

PaganSquare is a community blog space where Pagans can discuss topics relevant to the life and spiritual practice of all Pagans.
Religion isn't a static thing. We don't invent a religion once and leave it as is for centuries. Cultures change, people change, and spiritual practice changes, too.
Minoan civilization lasted for centuries. Just the "palace" periods, the times when the big temple complexes were being built and rebuilt, lasted about 500 years. Minoan civilization as a whole lasted more than two millennia. And during that time, the spiritual practice in ancient Crete changed and grew....
For the first time in 4 years, my rose bush is blooming.
After years of not blooming, I was pretty shocked, one morning in late May, to go into the back yard and notice that the rose bush was covered in hundreds of tight green buds. A few weeks later, the roses—small red ones—began to open, just a few at first, then more every day, until the whole thing is livid with scarlet petals and crawling with bees. Every few days, I cut off some of open blooms, and put them in water, but there are always more every morning. Every morning the cool air in the garden smells of roses, the apple trees and cottonwoods are damp with dew, birds are trilling and flitting between the branches. It's sweet and luscious, this moment as the day is beginning, in those sweet weeks as Spring ebbs into Summer. The world is beautiful, the weather is beautiful, the world is throbbing with life. Every cell is full of pleasure and joy, the world vibrates with it....
It's Midsummer, also known as the Summer Solstice or Litha! Alternatively viewed as either the midpoint or the start of summer, Midsummer is the time when one hemisphere of the Earth (the Northern Hemisphere in this case) is at its maximum tilt towards the Sun, resulting in the longest day and an increase in temperature. Of course, for our southern kindred, it's Midwinter.
Here at PaganSquare we've gathered a large number of posts both from our own website and others to celebrate this day. We hope you enjoy today's festivities and have a wonderful summer (or winter if that's where you are)!

I visited the Sacred Valley and the Temple of the Sun in Peru for my 40th Birthday, and these lands are a sight to behold. At the time of the Summer Solstice each year, the rising sun reflects off a certain point of a mountain in the Ollantaytambo archaeological site, and bounces off the altar atop the temple, where the Incans strategically placed it some 500 years ago. The fact that these laid by hand granite stones still stood now– with no cement holding them together– untouched– was truly spiritual. My mother, who had accompanied me, was moved to tears, taking it all in. Each year, not unlike their British counterparts at Stonehenge, local Peruvians reenact the Incan Summer Solstice ritual. I am sure it is a spectacle to appreciate, based on what I have seen and the commemorative photos marking the event.
Litha, or the Summer Solstice, is many a Pagan and Wiccan's favorite festival of the year. If you'd like to make yours truly special, here are some suggestions for a simple ritual, in tribute to Inti Raymi, not unlike our Incan ancestors held.
Buy some brightly-colored flowers and throw them festively around the ground of your firepit. Encourage participants to wear silver and gold jewelry, and have everyone bring a small carved wooden sun symbol or figure to place in a backyard bonfire. Since I'm sure you wouldn't want to sacrifice any white llamas, burn some white sage instead. Smudge everyone first, and then offer it to your fire as a sacrifice to the Sun God. Make a procession of building your fire where each guest contributes by adding to it. Build it first, and wait to light it at sunset, adding some straw and dancing around it to raise energy clockwise. Give a nod to each of the four wind directions as you do.
Give thanks to Suyos, representing the snake for the world below, the puma for life on earth and the condor, who presides over the upper world of the gods. These three animals were very honored and seen repeatedly in architecture and artwork throughout Cusco and the surrounding areas.
Celebrate and feast with some Pisco Sours (the national cocktail), ceviche, Peruvian roasted potatoes (see recipe below) and Inca Kola – if you can get your hands on it! When the fire dies down a bit, those who feel able-bodied should take a running jump over the pit for good luck. Revel in the sunset.
Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 4 to 6
2 pounds Peruvian purple potatoes, scrubbed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Halve the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Cover them with water if you cut them ahead of time.
In another bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Drain potatoes well and add them to the oil mixture. Toss with olive oil mixture. Spread the potatoes on a sheet pan. Roast for 30 minutes until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve
(Recipe from Aaron Sanchez, foodnetwork.com)
In the Celtic tradition, the Sun is female, a divine light and life bringer, so the Summer Solstice honours this season as a time of great fruitful goddess energy, but also a time of great power. In Celtic times summer solstice fires would be lit on beacon hills and high places to honour the sun and ward away evil, as this is a time when the veil between the worlds is said to be thin, encouraging interchange between the world and the spirit realm.
Sacred hills such as Cnoc Áine in Limerick, Ireland, named after the sun goddess Áine, were places of great ceremony in Celtic times, with fires lit there until at least 1879. Áine was also known as a Queen of the Faeries, the Sidhe, and one tale tells of how she emerged from the hill to ask the revellers to head home early so her people could come out for their own celebrations. Her sister is the Goddess Griéne, meaning 'Sun' is associated with Cnoc Griéne , also in Limerick. It's likely that both these hills were once beacons hills with Fires lit to honour the solstice since ancient times....

Jezebel's sexual lasciviousness, Mammy's devotion, and Sapphire's outspoken anger-these are among the most persistent stereotypes that black women encounter in contemporary American life. Hurtful and dishonest, such representations force African American women to navigate a virtual crooked room that shames them and shapes their experiences as citizens. Many respond by assuming a mantle of strength that may convince others, and even themselves, that they do not need help. But as a result, the unique political issues of black women are often ignored and marginalized.In this groundbreaking book, Melissa V. Harris-Perry uses multiple methods of inquiry, including literary analysis, political theory, focus groups, surveys, and experimental research, to understand more deeply black women's political and emotional responses to pervasive negative race and gender images. Not a traditional political science work concerned with office-seeking, voting, or ideology, Sister Citizen is an examination of how African American women understand themselves as citizens and what they expect from political organizing. Harris-Perry shows that the shared struggle to preserve an authentic self and secure recognition as citizens links together black women in America, from the anonymous survivors of Hurricane Katrina to the current First Lady of the United States.

"Astonishing. . . . Sister Citizen is written for the benefit of all Americans - sister citizens, brother citizens and anyone else who cares about the way this country works."—Tayari Jones, San Francisco Chronicle
"After I read Sister Citizen, two words sprang to my mind: Thank you."—Patrik Henry Bass, Essence
"This is the beauty of the book....The insight and grace with which Harris-Perry tackles the thorny issue of African American women's identity politics makes it a must-read."— Jordan Kisner, Slate
"Harris-Perry offers fascinating observations of how black women are, at times, constricted by their mythology and asserts that their 'experiences act as a democratic litmus test for the nation.'"—Vanessa Bush, Booklist
"Sister Citizen carefully documents the complex challenges and hurdles Black women face in the 21st century. Harris-Perry's book is both insightful and provocative. A must read for those interested in learning more about American politics."—Donna Brazile, Political Commentator for CNN and ABC News and former Interim Chair of the Democratic National Committee
"Melissa Harris-Perry is one of our most trenchant readers of modern black life. In Sister Citizen, she gives new life to the idea that 'the personal is political.' She never traffics in easy generalizations or fuzzy thinking. The argument she puts forward—that the lives of black women in the U.S. are inherently political, that their daily experiences consist of the hard political work of self-definition and social navigation to a degree unique among Americans—is grounded in incisive critical analysis and surefooted social scientific methodology. This book will change the conversation about the rights, responsibilities, and burdens of citizenship."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor, Harvard University
"This is a broad, ambitious and important book that centers black women at the heart of American politics. Harris-Perry commands multiple methods, sources, and theories to provide a nuanced, caring, and provocative reading of black women as archetypal citizens, barometers of the health of our democracy. Supporting her arguments throughout the book are the words, ideas and actions of black women. From her opening discussion of Their Eyes Were Watching God and Hurricane Katrina to her final chapter on Michelle Obama, Harris-Perry offers a new reading of black women's emotional and psychological lives as inherently political, reflecting the work of marginal communities to gain political recognition. In this work, Harris-Perry broadens our ideas of what counts as political, disrupts our ideas about what the study of American politics should look like, and restores our belief that resistance and struggle can change lives, communities and nations."—Cathy J. Cohen, University of Chicago
"In this compelling book, dazzling in its breadth and depth, Melissa Harris-Perry deploys the quantitative tools of the political scientist as expertly as she displays the qualitative methods of the literary and cultural critic. Sister Citizen challenges readers to rethink the meaning of politics when it comes to the complex lives of African American women."—Beverly Guy-Sheftall, founding director, Spelman College Women's Research and Resource Center
"Sister Citizen lends empirical heft to the adage the 'personal is political.' Melissa Harris-Perry does an excellent job of weaving literature, social science, and personal accounts to produce a powerful work on black women's politics. Brilliant."—Lester K. Spence, author of Stare in the Darkness: The Limits of Hip-hop and Black Politics
"In Sister Citizen, Harris-Perry combines her skills as a social scientist, political observer, writer and griot to deftly illustrate how the social, economic, and political conditions of black women, particularly those on the margins, are the index for America at large."—Byron Williams, Oakland Tribune
"With clarity and passion, Harris-Perry reveals the ways . . . myths rob Black women of political power."—Bobbi Booker, Sunday Tribune
"A feminist manifesto endeavoring to free sisters forever from the cruel and very limiting ways in which they continue to be pigeonholed."—Kam Williams, Insight

Chapter OneCrooked Room
The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. Audre Lorde
Zora Neale Hurston writes Janie Mae Crawford as an irrepressibly independent woman. Janie leaves the economic security of her emotionally deadening first marriage to pursue adventure and love. After the death of her second husband, she flouts social convention and follows her heart into an air with a much younger man. When her beloved descends into madness and threatens her life, she kills him rather than allow him to destroy her. When she is ready to return home, she does so despite the whispers and scandal occasioned by her unconventional choices. By following this path Janie does not avoid pain, loss, and disappointment, but by choosing her own burdens rather than allowing the burdens of others to be heaped on her back, Janie refutes her grandmother's prophecy that black women are the mules of the world. Janie's quest is about carving out a life that suits her authentic desires rather than conforming to the limiting, often soul-crushing expectations that others have of her. In this way, her personal journey is a model of the struggle many black women face.
This struggle is interestingly mirrored in the postWorld War II cognitive psychology research on field dependence. Field dependence studies show how individuals locate the upright in a space. In one study, subjects were placed in a crooked chair in a crooked room and then asked to align themselves vertically. Some perceived themselves as straight only in relation to their surroundings. To the researchers' surprise, some people could be tilted by as much as 35 degrees and report that they were perfectly straight, simply because they were aligned with images that were equally tilted. But not everyone did this: some managed to get themselves more or less upright regardless of how crooked the surrounding images were.
When they confront race and gender stereotypes, black women are standing in a crooked room, and they have to figure out which way is up. Bombarded with warped images of their humanity, some black women tilt and bend themselves to fit the distortion. It may be surprising that some gyrate half-naked in degrading hip-hop videos that reinforce the image of black women's lewdness. It may be shocking that some black women actors seem willing to embody the historically degrading image of Mammy by accepting movie roles where they are cast as the nurturing caretakers of white women and children. It may seem inexplicable that a respected black woman educator would stamp her foot, jab her finger in a black man's face, and scream while trying to make a point on national television, thereby reconfirming the notion that black women are irrationally angry. To understand why black women's public actions and political strategies sometimes seem tilted in ways that accommodate the degrading stereotypes about them, it is important to appreciate the structural constraints that influence their behavior. It can be hard to stand up straight in a crooked room.
The subtitle of this book is an adaptation of Ntozake Shange's choreopoem, for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf. For colored girls is a definitive artistic, visual, and poetic representation of the experience of the crooked room. It has sold more than a hundred thousand copies. The play was first produced O-Broadway in 1975. The next year it became a Broadway production, and in 1977 it earned an Obie Award for distinguished production and a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress. The official publication, production, and awards history does not capture the meaning of this piece for African American women. Since its introduction more than thirty years ago, for colored girls has been a mainstay in the personal libraries of African American women, of black feminist curriculum, and of black women's local theater productions. Literary scholar Salamishah Tillet describes it as the "black feminist bible," and author Ntozake Shange observes, "Not a day goes by when some young woman somewhere isn't doing a for colored girls monologue, making the voice her own, finding her own infinite beauty once again."
Shange's piece viscerally depicts the crooked room that black women confront. The production portrays the harshest and most bitter experiences of black women's lives. Her characters suffer sexual and romantic betrayal, abuse, rape, illegal abortion, heartbreak, and rejection. For colored girls has lasting significance for so many because it presents black women's experiences with unflinching rawness that is not primarily concerned with translating these experiences for a broader audience. Its primary goal is to give voice to black women by acknowledging the challenges they face, not to invoke pity or even empathy either from black men or from white viewers. It speaks to and about black women, and it does so by using language, images, and experiences that resonate for black women. For many who love it, reading or seeing Shange's for colored girls is like noticing not that one is alone in the crooked room but, rather, that there are others standing bent, stooped, or surprisingly straight. It is an experience of having someone make visible the slanted images that too frequently remain invisible. "The poems were addressing situations that bridged our secret (unspoken) longing. For colored girls still is a women's trip, and the connection we can make through it, with each other and for each other, is to empower us all."
Shange's work exposes the fragility of black women's emotional lives and insists that the agony of their experiences is collective, structural, and not of their own making, but it is not exclusively an exploration of victimization. Though her characters know pain, they also know love, passion, exploration, joy, music, and dance. Despite the incredible obstacles they face, not all of her women are irreparably broken. Results from the psychological studies of the crooked room showed that many respondents did find a way to discern the true upright position even when everything around them was distorted. Hurston's account of Janie Mae Crawford in Their Eyes Were Watching God is a literary example of this ability to find the upright, as is Shange's final poem in for colored girls, "A Laying on of Hands." Black women's political history is similarly filled with examples of this independence. Black women of the early twentieth-century club movement resisted the lie of black promiscuity by leading a movement for temperance, modesty, and respectability. African American domestic workers resisted the idea of Mammy-like devotion to whites by living outside their employers' homes, protesting unfair labor conditions, and nurturing their own families and communities. Women of the civil rights movement helped change the country, not through angry violence, but through disciplined endurance of racist counterattacks against their nonviolent struggle. These women managed to stand straight despite the crooked world in which they lived.
Sometimes black women can conquer negative myths, sometimes they are defeated, and sometimes they choose not to fight. Whatever the outcome, we can better understand sisters as citizens when we appreciate the crooked room in which they struggle to stand upright. In the next several chapters I will pose a number of questions about how black women's politics is affected by the crooked images they encounter. Is it possible that black women's organizing efforts and public reactions to issues of sexual assault are linked to their beliefs about the stereotype of black women's promiscuity? Does the pervasive notion of Mammy help explain why black women are suspicious of coalitions with white women? Do black women often defer to black men's religious, familial, and political leadership because they reject the idea that they are angry and domineering? Having a clear view of the distorted images and painful stereotypes that make America a crooked room for African American women is the first step toward understanding how these stereotypes influence black women as political actors.
To learn more about the titled images of the crooked room that contemporary black women encounter in the United States, I conducted focus groups with forty-three African American women in Chicago, New York, and Oakland. As a warm-up task, I asked participants to think about black women as a group and list the stereotypes or myths about them that other people may hold. I then asked them to write down the "facts" about black women as they saw them. They worked in groups and had very lively discussions about both the myths and the facts. Although these women lived in different cities, were of several generations, and had different economic and family circumstances, their discussions formed a coherent picture. They independently arrived at the same three stereotypes that many researchers of African American women's experience also identify: Mammy, Jezebel, and Sapphire.
Like the women in the focus groups, some readers will find these stereotypes familiar, others may never have heard of these myths, and still others may not know the negative connotations attached to them. In the next chapter I will explore the historical and contemporary outlines of the three stereotypes at length, but for the purposes of understanding the general idea of the crooked room, here I offer the brief explanations given by the women in the focus groups. For those of you less familiar with these ideas, I ask you to trust me for a few more pages that Mammy, Jezebel, and Sapphire are common and painful characterizations of black women and that each has a long history in American social and cultural life.
As they identified the main stereotypes, the focus group participants said that black women are seen either as "oversexed" or as "fat mammies who aren't thinking about sex at all." There was broad agreement that white people generally saw them as either promiscuous or asexual. "Jezebel," "maid," and "Mammy" were the terms they used most often to label these stereotypes. Margaret, a fifty-two-year-old woman from the West Beverly neighborhood of Chicago, said, "Just because we are African we're supposed to be wild and all this. We are supposed to be from the jungle and like to have wild sex. Like that is all we think about. Folks think we're hot to trot. Or they think we're Aunt Jemima. It's never in between."
Many talked about the "welfare queen" as an ever-present characterization. Although nearly all the women rejected the hypersexual and Mammy stereotypes, several agreed with the welfare queen myth. "That is not a myth," one participant said. "That belongs on the 'fact' side of the page. There are a lot of black women out here living on the system." Still, everyone agreed that not all black women conformed to the image of welfare cheat, and most argued that the stereotype was damaging even if it was rooted in real behaviors.
The focus group members believed that black men and other black women also perpetuated myths about black women. "Haters," "gold diggers," "overly demanding," and "argumentative" emerged as the main intraracial characterizations of black women. One professional woman in her fifties said, "Black men always try to say that we are manipulative and too bossy and too demanding. They act like they don't know that black women are the backbone of the family. We keep things together. The man may be the head of the household, but we are the backbone and the backbone has got to be strong."
Throughout this book I will return often to these women's voices. Their insights set my research agenda by giving me clues about where to look to understand black women's emotional and political experiences. Their discussions of myths pointed me toward three particular characterizations: hypersexuality, Mammy, and emasculating anger. These were the recurring stereotypes that participants said influence how others saw them. Most of the women also talked about their personal strategies to counter these negative assumptions. "I respect myself, so I know that nobody can call me a ho." "I let my husband be the man in our house, so he never says that mess to me [about being too bossy]. He knows he is my man and God made him the head of our home." "I have never been on welfare. I worked two jobs, but I have never been on welfare." These narratives reveal the ways that black women attempt to stand upright in a room made crooked by the stereotypes about black women as a group.
In their 2003 book Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America, Charisse Jones and Kumea Shorter-Gooden report on the results of their African American Women's Voices Project. After surveying and conducting in-depths interviews with hundreds of black women, they discovered that "97 percent acknowledge that they are aware of negative stereotypes of African American women and 80 percent confirm that they have been personally affected by these persistent racist and sexist assumptions." Their book provides detailed evidence of how black women accommodate other people's expectations by shifting their tone of voice, outward behaviors, and expressed attitudes. The women in my focus groups offer additional evidence that black women believe others think negatively about them. Jones and Shorter-Gooden's research shows that this awareness has real effects on how black women see themselves, how they pursue personal relationships, and how they comport themselves at work. I think it also influences how they understand themselves as citizens, what they believe is possible in their relationship with the state, and what they expect from their political organizing.
The Politics of Recognition
We can characterize African American women's struggle with the slanted images of the crooked room as a problem of recognitionan important theme for political philosophers interested in issues of identity, difference, and citizenship. Recognition scholarship derives from the concept, central to Hegelian philosophy, of Anerkennung, or mutually arming recognition that allows citizens to operate as equals within the confines of the social contract. Hegel proposes recognition as an animating struggle of human society and particularly of public life. Anerkennung is a core feature of the relationship between citizens and the state. Citizens want and need more than a fair distribution of resources: they also desire meaningful recognition of their humanity and uniqueness, and they are willing to make sacrifices to get it.
The social contract is the basis of democratic citizenship. Within this contract, individuals subject themselves to rules, constraints, and collective burdens imposed by the state (such as taxes and military service) in exchange for safety and services provided by the state (such as security and social programs). Implied rather than explicit, the social contract is the key to stable, voluntary democratic institutions. The social contract of democratic governments assumes that governing authority derives from consent of the governed rather than from divine command, hereditary connection, or armed capacity. American founding documents draw heavily and explicitly on Enlightenment traditions steeped in the idea of a social contract in which recognition plays a central role. For example, the Declaration of Independence asserts citizens' collective right and responsibility to draft a social contract that allows not only safety and freedom but also the pursuit of happiness.
Although liberal social contract theory is aggressively individualist, Hegel's theory of recognition is aware of reciprocity and of community and social relationships. Taking recognition seriously means understanding that groups are as important as individuals for specifying the correct relationship between the state and its citizens. Citizenship is more than an individual exchange of freedoms for rights; it is also membership in a body politic, a nation, and a community. To be deemed fair, a system must offer its citizens equal opportunities for public recognition, and groups cannot systematically suffer from misrecognition in the form of stereotype and stigma. In the next chapter I describe how this democratic requirement of equal recognition has been violated for African American women in their relationship with the American society and state. But first, I want to pause to explore why political theorists consider recognition so important to the experience of citizenship.

I found "Sister Citizen" to be the most comprehensive book I have read regarding the stereotypes plaguing black women. The book is clear and concise. This has helped me to better understand myself as a black woman and how I fit in our country. I felt validated about a lot of personal experiences. Ms. Harris-Perry proves again that she is one of America's most incredible political minds. I appreciate how she is using peer-reviewed sources, empirical data,and recent events to tie her themes together. Ms. Harris-Perry says it best: "This book is not a work of history but it relies on black women's history as a frame for understanding contemporary politics. It is not a work of literary criticism, but it relies on literature written by and about black women. It is not a biography...It is not a traditional social science text, but it makes use of empirical data. This book is concerned with understanding the emotional realities of black womens' lives in order to answer a political, not a personal question: What does it mean to be a black woman and an American citizen?" (p.29)Ms. Harris-Perry masterfully gives scenario after scenario of the impact of mis-recognition over the history of African-Americans --using peer reviewed sources. The focus groups she conducted were interesting as well as the story about how black women (including Ms. Harris-Perry herself) struggled to survive during hurricane Katrina. She gives a heart wrenching 'boots on the ground' account of how people experienced hurricane Katrina, sharing the untold human losses and emotional traumas people endured. I cried and caught my breath aloud as I read the story of Ms. Phyllis Montana-Leblanc. You will be changed if you read this book better or worse. Paraphrasing another review "If a discussion about color, race and sexism are subjects you may not be interested then don't read the book, it will only make you angry". That said try to read this with an open mind.
This is a well-written book. Her research is sound. I enjoyed it!
Dr. Harris-Perry is on point with her description. Must read for everyone.
Though I have not finished the entire book, I've enjoyed what I've read thus far. Dr. Harris-Perry was a keynote speaker at a conference I attended last year. During her presentation she touched on many of the topics covered in this book. This book not only expands upon her presentation, but also draws my attention to other things I've unaware of.
Great Read! Loved the book. A must have on the book shelf. Ms. Harris- Perry nails every point!
Enjoing this book. Helps me put the current social situation in perspective.
Complete garbage. I am dumber for reading it.
Without question one of the worst books ever written Filled with ggrammatical errors Inconsistent topics....one could almost hear her lisps whem reading this book thuffering thuccothath a waste of paper...a shame trees gave up its life for this garbage

Hollande Government Sees Peugeot Job Cuts as 'Inevitable'
For French President Francois Hollande's government, PSA Peugeot Citroen (UG)'s decision to close a factory and eliminate jobs has gone from "unacceptable" two months ago to "inevitable."
Peugeot's plan to cut 8,000 jobs and shut its Aulnay plant near Paris, "is not acceptable in its current form," Hollande said in a televised interview July 14. Today, a report commissioned by his Industry Ministry said that given the moribund European car market and Peugeot's overcapacity, "the group must absolutely cut costs" and "the closing of an assembly line is inevitable."
The shift marks an about-face for Hollande, who was elected in May on a pledge to prevent a "parade of firings." Since then, the number of unemployed people in France has crossed 3 million to a 13-year high as companies from Air France-KLM Group to retailer Carrefour SA (CA) have announced lay-offs.
"From a shareholder point of view, it's a good thing that the government acknowledges Peugeot is facing a fixed-cost problem," said Sascha Gommel, an analyst at Commerzbank AG with a hold recommendation on the shares. "Their initial reaction was typical. You can see that in any country, when you close a plant, you immediately have a political backlash."
Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg said in a meeting with Peugeot union officials today that the company was "facing severe difficulties and needed to restructure," according to Franck Don, a CFTC Peugeot union official.
International Alliances
Peugeot fell as much as 3.1 percent in Paris trading and was down 0.05 percent at 6.46 euros as of 3:14 p.m.
The Paris-based company's automotive division has been burning through 200 million euros in cash a month for the last year, Varin said in July as the company reported an 819 million-euro ($1.05 billion) first-half net loss.
The government-commissioned report, written by engineer Emmanuel Sartorius, criticized Peugeot on many points. It said the group was late in squeezing out savings between its Peugeot and Citroen brands, slow to develop international alliances and is too reliant on the European car market, which accounts for 58 percent of its sales.
"The internationalization strategy started too late," Pierre-Olivier Salmon, a Peugeot spokesman, said by phone. "That's what Philippe Varin reckoned as soon as he became CEO: he said the group was too European and too middle-range. That's why we're upgrading and becoming more global."
Unrealistic Targets
Peugeot invested 250 million euros since 2009 in a Madrid plant that might have been a better candidate for closure than Aulnay, according to the report.
"Looking back, the management of PSA lacked realism in setting its targets," according to the report. "Until the middle of the last decade, it was targeting an annual production of 4 million cars, whereas it never managed more than 3.6 million."
The Aulnay plant ran at 56.7 percent of its capacity in 2011, with anything under 65 percent considered under-utilization, according to the report.
The need for Peugeot "to re-organize its industrial activities and to reduce its workforce is, sadly, not contestable," the report concluded.
Peugeot employed 81,324 people in France at the end of 2011, out of a worldwide workforce of 122,879.
The company last week was elbowed out of France's benchmark CAC 40 stock index after its shares declined more than 60 percent in 12 months, giving it a market value of 2.3 billion euros.

Military service causing problems for Chelsea's Salah
Chelsea midfielder Mohamed Salah could find himself forced to return to Egypt to serve military duty due to a decision made by the Minister of Higher Education to rescind his registration for an education program.
The 22-year-old, who joined one of Egypt's education institutes in order to obtain the ability to travel abroad, was dealt a blow today after his registration was cancelled by the Minister of Higher Education, possibly forcing him to return to his homeland to serve mandatory military service.
This decision could prevent Salah from travelling outside Egypt if he was to return, something that could threaten his future with the Blues.
Egyptian footballing legend and the current National Team director Ahmed Hassan commented on the situation regarding Salah, stating that he has been in contact with the Chelsea winger via phone.
"Salah has expressed his shock about the decision. He told me that he is trying to represent Egypt in the best way possible. Is this the best response from the country?"
It has been mentioned that a meeting will be held between the Egyptian national team coaching staff headed by Shawky Gharib together with members of the Egyptian Football Association and the Minister of Higher Education to find a solution to this dilemma.

I'm pretty confident it will get resolved. Things like this have happened to players in the past and been resolved one way or another.
If this will really happen, then forget about Egyptian players in the Premier League in the future! Keep in mind that European Clubs have been critical anyway before thinking to sign Egyptian Players (Skills, Cultural aspects, ACN). This would be huge setback, as every Club Manager in Europe would read about it in the news! I was happy that some players in the past days started to move abroad to develop as players and benefit our National Team long-term, and now this!! Any hope this issue will be solved in a better way?
There's too much money floating around for this to happen. It'll all be worked out with donations and contributions behind some closed door.
Sounds like our goverment.
I thought you had to be the oldest brother to be called for military service if you're an only child you don't do it. Does he have a younger brother?
The minister needs to grease his palms…Salah would do the 'needful'.

Minion balloon visits a museum - level 2
08-07-2015 15:00
Inside of a museum in England, someone left a helium balloon that looked like a cartoon character. A camera inside filmed the balloon bobbing around the art.
This was a funny situation because the cartoon character was from a movie about a man who steals things, so it seemed like the balloon was there to plan another heist.
Workers at the museum put the video on the Internet, and many people watched and enjoyed this balloon's museum visit.
Difficult words: helium (a gas that makes things float), bob (to move up and down slowly), heist (a crime to steal things).
You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

ROYALTON MCCAMEY, PLAINTIFF,v.CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se. He seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested authority pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302 pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
Plaintiff has submitted a declaration that makes the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the request to proceed in forma pauperis will be granted.
Plaintiff is required to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914(a), 1915(b)(1). By this order, plaintiff will be assessed an initial partial filing fee in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By separate order, the court will direct the appropriate agency to collect the initial partial filing fee from plaintiff's trust account and forward it to the Clerk of the Court. Thereafter, plaintiff will be obligated for monthly payments of twenty percent of the preceding month's income credited to plaintiff's prison trust account. These payments will be forwarded by the appropriate agency to the Clerk of the Court each time the amount in plaintiff's account exceeds $10.00, until the filing fee is paid in full. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).
The court is required to screen complaints brought by prisoners seeking relief against a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). The court must dismiss a complaint or portion thereof if the prisoner has raised claims that are legally "frivolous or malicious," that fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or that seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1),(2).
A claim is legally frivolous when it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989); Franklin v. Murphy, 745 F.2d 1221, 1227-28 (9th Cir. 1984). The court may, therefore, dismiss a claim as frivolous where it is based on an indisputably meritless legal theory or where the factual contentions are clearly baseless. Neitzke, 490 U.S. at 327. The critical inquiry is whether a constitutional claim, however inartfully pleaded, has an arguable legal and factual basis. See Jackson v. Arizona, 885 F.2d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 1989); Franklin, 745 F.2d at 1227.
A complaint must contain more than a "formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action;" it must contain factual allegations sufficient to "raise a right to relief above the speculative level." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 127 S. Ct. 1955, 1965 (2007). "The pleading must contain something more...than...a statement of facts that merely creates a suspicion [of] a legally cognizable right of action." Id., quoting 5 C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure 1216, pp. 235-235 (3d ed. 2004). "[A] complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to 'state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'" Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 566 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949 (2009) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955). "A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Id.
In reviewing a complaint under this standard, the court must accept as true the allegations of the complaint in question, Hospital Bldg. Co. v. Rex Hospital Trustees, 425 U.S. 738, 740, 96 S.Ct. 1848 (1976), construe the pleading in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and resolve all doubts in the plaintiff's favor. Jenkins v. McKeithen, 395 U.S. 411, 421, 89 S.Ct. 1843 (1969).
The complaint states a colorable claim for relief against defendants Dr. Melet; Dr. Awatanee; Dr. Churby; Dr. Lipson, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b).
Plaintiff, however, also names as defendants in this action for money damages, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR); CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate[]; and Governor Jerry Brown. As to the CDCR, the Eleventh Amendment serves as a jurisdictional bar to suits brought by private parties against a state or state agency unless the state or the agency consents to such suit. See Quern v. Jordan, 440 U.S. 332 (1979); Alabama v.
Pugh, 438 U.S. 781 (1978)( per curiam); Jackson v. Hayakawa, 682 F.2d 1344, 1349-50 (9th Cir. 1982). In the instant case, the State of California has not consented to suit. Accordingly, plaintiff's claims against the CDCR are frivolous and must be dismissed.
With respect to defendants Cate and Brown, in this action alleging deliberate indifference to serious medical conditions in violation of the Eighth Amendment, plaintiff fails to link his allegations to action (or inaction) on the part of these defendants. The Civil Rights Act under which this action was filed provides as follows:
Every person who, under color of [state law] . . . subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States . . . to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution . . . shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress.
42 U.S.C. § 1983. The statute requires that there be an actual connection or link between the actions of the defendants and the deprivation alleged to have been suffered by plaintiff. See Monell v. Department of Social Servs., 436 U.S. 658 (1978); Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362 (1976). "A person 'subjects' another to the deprivation of a constitutional right, within the meaning of § 1983, if he does an affirmative act, participates in another's affirmative acts or omits to perform an act which he is legally required to do that causes the deprivation of which complaint is made." Johnson v. Duffy, 588 F.2d 740, 743 (9th Cir. 1978).
Moreover, supervisory personnel are generally not liable under § 1983 for the actions of their employees under a theory of respondeat superior and, therefore, when a named defendant holds a supervisorial position, the causal link between him and the claimed constitutional violation must be specifically alleged. See Fayle v. Stapley, 607 F.2d 858, 862 (9th Cir. 1979); Mosher v. Saalfeld, 589 F.2d 438, 441 (9th Cir. 1978), cert. denied, 442 U.S. 941 (1979). Vague and conclusory allegations concerning the involvement of official personnel in civil rights violations are not sufficient. See Ivey v. Board of Regents, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir. 1982). California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR); CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate[]; and Governor Jerry Brown.
If plaintiff chooses to amend the complaint, plaintiff must demonstrate how the conditions complained of have resulted in a deprivation of plaintiff's constitutional rights. See Ellis v. Cassidy, 625 F.2d 227 (9th Cir. 1980). Also, the complaint must allege in specific terms how each named defendant is involved. There can be no liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 unless there is some affirmative link or connection between a defendant's actions and the claimed deprivation. Rizzo v. Goode, 423 U.S. 362, 96 S.Ct. 598 (1976); May v. Enomoto, 633 F.2d 164, 167 (9th Cir. 1980); Johnson v. Duffy, 588 F.2d 740, 743 (9th Cir. 1978). Furthermore, vague and conclusory allegations of official participation in civil rights violations are not sufficient. See Ivey v. Board of Regents, 673 F.2d 266, 268 (9th Cir. 1982).
In addition, plaintiff is informed that the court cannot refer to a prior pleading in order to make plaintiff's amended complaint complete. Local Rule 220 requires that an amended complaint be complete in itself without reference to any prior pleading. This is because, as a general rule, an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint. See Loux v. Rhay, 375 F.2d 55, 57 (9th Cir. 1967). Once plaintiff files an amended complaint, the original pleading no longer serves any function in the case. Therefore, in an amended complaint, as in an original complaint, each claim and the involvement of each defendant must be sufficiently alleged.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis is granted;
2. Plaintiff is obligated to pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee in accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). All fees shall be collected and paid in accordance with this court's order to the Director of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation filed concurrently herewith.
3. Plaintiff's claims against California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR); CDCR Secretary Matthew Cate[]; and Governor Jerry Brown are dismissed for the reasons discussed above, with leave to file an amended complaint within twenty-eight days from the date of service of this Order. Failure to file an amended complaint will result in a recommendation that these defendants be dismissed from this action.
4. Upon filing an amended complaint or expiration of the time allowed therefor, the court will make further orders for service of process upon some or all of the defendants.

The Short Answer: These two reports of mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) nesting on window sills in New York City came within a week or so of each other. In one case, Sam and her small children were thrilled to have a bird nest so easily visible outside their window. In the other case, Ron was a little less happy, because the birds were nested right below his air conditioner, which was pulling in bird nest smell. Still, he was willing to wait till the dove chicks were free of the nest to remove it.
More Information: Like most species of the family Columbidae, mourning doves lay two eggs. They are remarkably flexible about where they will build their nest, sometimes choosing a low bush, and other times nesting 80 meters (260 feet) up in a tree. They'll also nest on buildings, window ledges and even on the ground.
Parents share incubation of the eggs, which hatch in 14-15 days. They also share feeding of the chicks with regurgitated "crop milk," a liquid made from partially digested seeds. As the days go on, parents increasingly mix in seeds. The chicks are ready to leave the nest in about two weeks and after their first flight, and once they fledge they may return to the nest for a day or two, and then begin roosting in trees at night. For another two to four weeks the male parent will feed them until they are independent. Meanwhile, the female may begin laying new eggs.
Pairs can raise as many as six clutches in a single year, so Ron's concern about his doves renesting under his air conditioner is a valid one. The U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act makes it illegal to tamper or move the nest of a native bird while it has eggs or chicks, however. So Ron's best bet for a humane and legal solution is to watch for the baby birds to leave and then wait a day or two and remove the nest, hopefully before the female begins laying a whole new clutch.
Pigeon and doves: As I mentioned above, the family Columbidae includes doves and pigeons. In fact, there is no difference between the two from a taxonomic standpoint. Some members of the Columbidae are called doves and others are called pigeons, but that's more about traditional names than anything scientific. In fact, our familiar city "pigeon" is also called both a "rock dove" and a "rock pigeon" (Columba livia).

Cameron Says:
Thank you so much for the info shared!! I have recently had the wonderful experience of doves taking over my herb garden on my small patio and building their nest. I saw the day they laid their egg. I was mesmerized when I first saw the baby nestled under the parents breast & watching the parents feed the baby as they switched places each day. This past weekend I anciently startled the baby & one of the parents as I was doing my routine watering :(. I think the baby was aprox 2 weeks old. I was pleased to see both the parent & especially the baby fly to the closest trees in my courtyard. I noticed the baby had a very strong flight. I was impressed. I haven't seen the baby since, although the parents keep dropping by to check out their nest & my patio space. I have been very sad thinking the baby was not ready to be "on his own". But the expertise that you have shared has put my mind at ease a bit. Since the baby had such a strong flight, & my courtyard is fairly isolated, I'm thinking the baby is somewhere close by & the parents are still feeding/rearing him.
I'm hoping the pair still feel safe enough to continue laying more eggs this season. Thanks for your insights!! Please feel free to share any advice so my patio can continue to be a choice spot for my neighborhood doves to feel safe nesting a having their babies:). Many thanks!
