Even before he returned, the story of the "Last Soviet Citizen" had started to fascinate a film-maker called Andrei Ujica, who gave up his job as a university professor in Germany to make a documentary about Krikalev's experiences. He obtained many hours of footage from the mission and spent the whole of 1994 in Moscow working on the project.
"I had a lot of luck," Ujica says now. A year earlier, it would not have been possible to obtain the film from the Soviet space authorities for reasons of security; a year later, the price would have been too high. Through this window of opportunity, he managed to drag the raw materials for Out of the Present, the most magical documentary ever made about man in space.
As his narrator, Ujica chose Anatoli Artsebarski, the commander who accompanied Krikalev (and the British cosmonaut Helen Sharman) in the early part of his mission. According to the director - who has not yet succumbed to the tendency to see space flight as either routine or banal - Artsebarski "plays Patroclus to Krikalev's Achilles". His epic account of the flight lasts exactly 92 minutes, the time of one of Mir's orbits around the globe. It recounts the hero's 310 days in space as a succession of arrivals and departures (when new crews join Mir bringing supplies, to be greeted by gifts of bread and salt) interspersed with lyrical, almost abstract evocations of the seasons on the Earth below: parched brown landscapes for summer; cloud formations for autumn; ice and snow for winter; and green woodlands and pastures for spring.
Space, Ujica says, "is the last place where mankind can still be a little like Columbus or Magellan". And space travel has given us for the first time "the divine perspective on the world. It is enough to go 400 kilometres from Earth to see that Nature is above History - when for the past two centuries we have believed that we can overcome Nature."
Ujica is delighted by Krikalev's answer to a journalist in a ground-to- Mir interview during the flight. Krikalev had been asked what he thought of the political changes in his country. He had difficulty in hearing the question and finally answered: "Just now it was night, now it's light and the seasons rush past ..." The divine perspective?
So, though this film does celebrate the beauty of the technology and the ungainly majesty of Mir itself, it leaves us more with a feeling of lightness, a sense of having witnessed the demigods at play, as the cosmonauts glory in their freedom from the gravity of Earth, cutting their hair, experimenting with burning matches and candles that hover in the air, or bubbles of cola suspended in front of their mouths. Krikalev, Ujica says, has told him about the "very special feeling of happiness" that one gets from weightlessness, like a regression to childhood - tempered by the occasional realisation that only a few centimetres of aluminium separate the comfortable environment of Mir from the deadly emptiness of space.
I telephoned Sergei Krikalev in Moscow. He has been on two missions since the one recorded in the film, including one with the Americans, and he is preparing for another mission at the end of this year. The long mission recorded in Out of the Present was his second time in space. Is space flight boring? I asked him. "It's a very frequent question," he said. "The answer is no. Most of our time is consumed with our duties, station maintenance, experiments. Even when I saw my own footage, I was surprised that it did not reflect this.
"I would say that in a real flight, 90 to 95 per cent of the time we are busy. Of course, we were only able to take our cameras in hand when we did have free time. And Andrei Ujica's selection showed what he was interested in. Everyone has his own viewpoint. His interest was probably in showing the rapid changes on the ground and the cosmic changes in space."
As for the dangers, cosmonauts are always aware of them, but they are trained to respond to emergencies. "We are so dependent on an artificial environment and often testing new equipment. And some of the experiments we have to do are very valuable. If I were to make any mistake ... You have a load of responsibilities pressing on you all the time."
He agrees that there are amusing moments: he mentions the haircutting scene in the film, and the lighted matches, though "we had several wet towels around, just in case". People no longer regard cosmonauts with the same awe as they did in the early years. "Space is space," he says. "People were very excited in the beginning of space exploration, but right now they are more interested in everyday life."
One is tempted to say that this demigod has his feet firmly on the ground; for the divine perspective, go to Ujica's film. After all, where would Achilles and Patroclus be, were it not for Homer?

The Effect of Taxes and Depreciation on Corporate Investment and Financial Leverage
This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the effect of corporate an d personal taxes on the firm's optimal investment and financing decis ions under uncertainty. The results indicate that, when investment is allowed to adjust optimally, increases in investment-related tax shi elds due to changes in the corporate tax code are not necessarily ass ociated with reductions in leverage at the individual firm level, con trary to existing capital structure theory. Cross sectionally, firms with higher investment-related tax shields need not have lower debt-r elated tax shields unless all firms have perfectly correlated pretax cash flows. The implications of the results for empirical analysis ar e also discussed. Copyright 1988 by American Finance Association.

I was asked to review this case by the manufacturer at no cost as I am a Recognized Contributor on the XDA Developers forum for third party smart phone development. On that website I've compiled (with help from other forum members) the most utilized guide on the website to turn a battery chugging Android smartphone into a power sipping device that will go 2-5 days between charges with ease. As a result the manufacturer of this battery case sent me a test unit and I put it through it's paces. (For the purposes of testing this device an unmodified iPhone 6 plus was used to give real world conditions, not maximized results.)
To start off, let's be clear about what this product is as there is often confusion about this sort of device. This is a rubberize phone case like any other cover. But this one has a battery in it. Your phone plugs into this case that fits tightly around the device. Your phone still runs off it's own internal battery. But this case monitors the phone's...

Just bought this case and got it yesterday. Left it charging all night to get a full charge and test it today.
In short, this is a great case. The pictures are pretty accurate. It is as thin as it can be, and definitely protects the phone. The phone fits in well, and although it does add length, this was expected and I like the look anyway.
The only reason I give it only three stars is that it charged my phone only to 89%. I was expecting a full charge because the description claims that in has enough juice to charge the phone 100% and still have a 10% charge left (the 110% claim). This was a source of BIG disappointment to me.
I will try it again over the next few days, and will update if anything changes. If this does not change, I will return it.
Picked up this case prior to a trip to DisneyWorld. I didn't want to have to worry about the phone dying after a 15hr day at the parks and this one had great reviews and was both cheaper and with better capacity battery than I could find elsewhere. I am very happy with how well it works...and also happy to be reminded of their 1 year warranty. After not using the case for a few weeks, I put it back on yesterday and was happy to see that it had a full charge. I used it to charge a bit during the day and it worked great. I was surprised to see it at 1 light at the end of the day as I didn't think I'd used it that much, but it wasn't too big of a problem. After charging overnight, it didn't charge. I decided to take the case off and when I did so, the top cover cracked at the bottom by the charging area. I just submitted a warranty claim with ZVOLTZ and will update the rating based on the response. If this gets resolved satisfactorily, the case is great and will be 5 stars. If it...

When I arrived at designated location to pick up my reserved 17' truck I was told that a lady drove it away earlier and I had to call to get a different truck at a different location. It's unbelievable that a truck rese fed actually could be given away to another renter! I will never rent a anything again from U Haul with such awfull experience where a company doesn't honor a reservation like other car rental company would!

Jerald M. on
The location was great but booking my truck online was pointless I reserved my truck to be called a couple.hours later to be told they didn't have the truck I requested and any of the nearby locations so I had to end up making two trips costing me twice as much money and not once did they offer to give me the $50 guarantee why show trucks are available if they are in fact not

The people there were some of the nicest people ever. They helped a lot!
KAREN M. on
I was very pleased with Service Etc. Andy and his staff were courteous and professional. I had pre-registered online, so I was in and out of the rental office in just a few minutes — quick and efficient. All items I had ordered ahead were there waiting for me. Andy's staff made sure I understood the correct way to open the back of the truck, which I appreciated. The 15 ft. truck handled great. I drove 450 trouble-free miles, including a steep mountain grade and some long stretches of highway that were bumpy due to construction. The truck engine, steering, brakes and air conditioning worked flawlessly.
BONIFACE M. on
This location is perfect only thing is that it doesn't show up on Yelp

I traveled a total of 22 miles. The truck is rated at 19 miles per gallon. I should have been charged for 1.16 gallons of gas, not 2 gallons. Counter person put arrow of gas usage way below what it showed on the car. It was still touching the 3/8th mark not where he shows it.

Blake Lively, and her wondrous summer shorts look

David Beckham, and his many hats
Zenith color TV's, the first color TV we ever had in our house was a Zenith color TV; I remember the exact day we got this TV, even though it was 1968 almost 50 years ago. I would say that is pretty amazing to have that recollection. The only reason I remember use getting this TV there was a very significant live TV announcement make by the President of the United States Lyndon Johnson. The day this 25 inch color TV arrived at our apartment in Sunnyvale California was the same evening Johnson made the announcement he will not seek, or will not accept another term as president of the United States.
The Day was March 31, 1968; This was amazing I got a change to see the President in color, and all the shows I've watched in black, and white now in color it was major cool. Batman TV show, Ultraman, Speed Racer, this really cool show called Rowan & Martins Laugh-In, and lots more. I don't remember seeing it in the store, help picking it out or nothing, it was just there in the living room one day. This picture was close to the one we had. It's amazing how drab these TV's looked back then.
The world seemed real, when it was in color, even the news when it showed the worst of the worst. I don't see Zenith TV's out there on the market anymore, at Walmart or any retail stores, but Zenith Electronics is still a very big corporation. Zeniths parent company of LG Electronics headquartered in South Korea. The screen size was similar, and the legs were like this one. This TV traveled around a lot over the years after we moved from California. I'm not sure when it departed, but it had maybe a 10 year run in our household.
Zapruder Film which actually shows President John F Kennedy being assassinated. It's no doubt one of the most remarkable films in history. What's more amazing it was in a time where there was no iPhones, or any other technology to speak of, other than the 8mm movie camera the dress maker Abraham Zapruder used to film the event.
The actual film camera Abraham Zapruder used to film President John F Kennedys motorcade as it came through Dealey Plaza was called, the high-end model 414 PDN Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director Series Camera, yes that's a lot to say, but back then the manufacture of the camera had to make it sound ultra high tech.
The final head shot was very gruesome indeed, and the good thing President Kennedy probably did not suffer. That last shot almost took his head clean off. If Oswald had missed just like he missed the first shop which was much closer, Kennedy would be a 99 plus year old ex-president. The triple under pass would have shielded the limo after that last shot. Lee Harvey Oswald would have had no more opportunities to kill the President. The President would have recovered from the neck wound, and back wound, and would have went on campaigning for the '64 election. If Oswald had gotten away, and maybe try another attempt in another city such as Denver, CO Memphis TN, or say Charleston, WV. The secret service security, and local law enforcement would be extra tight, and no more open cars, or open windows along the motorcade route.
I watched Clint Hills agonizing, heart felt interview with Mike Wallace on 60 Minute around the mid 1970s, it would have been 10 or 12 short years after the assassination, you can tell when he said if I was just a few seconds faster, I would have been top of the President, and First Lady. Clint Hill is still living, he was a very young agent back in 1963, and now he's an elderly man of 84; Now to be fair Oswald may not have fired those shots, but I guarantee you if he had to keep trying it would have be come very difficult after that day.
What I don't understand about the spot that was choose for the assassination. The parade was pretty much over when the first shots were fired. It was then under the triple under pass, and to the Trade Mart for a speech, and then back to Washington. I think Oswald did it personally, only because it was so easy to get a gun back then, easy to get the job he had at the Texas School Book Depository, and easy to get in position to fire the shots, and the motorcade route was published for all to see in the Dallas Morning News. Then remarkable enough that Oswald was in the local FBI office, and threatened and agent by the name of James Hosty about a week prior to the assassination, about contacting his wife Marina, which would have gotten Oswald locked up just for that. There is much more should I go on, but I think you get the picture. I think even the worst shot would have killed JFK that sunny cool Fall Friday afternoon, it was just to easy, and very close firing at an open limo going just a few miles per hour.
What we have learned a lot about assassination's since November 22, 1963; although there have been several attempts since then. Gerald Ford twice, and Ronald Reagan actually being shot, but no killings. I'm glad there have not been more U.S. Presidents assassinated, because it was so easy to. I hate to say it, but it was. Going back to Abraham Lincoln in 1865, very easy, no lesson there learned really. James A. Garfield 1881 only 16 years after Lincoln, was even easier. He gets it in the back walking throught the Baltimore & Potomac railroad station in Washington DC, even more sad his two sons were there to witness it. Then about 20 years later William McKinley, Just about six months into his second term on September 6, 1901
The Zapruder film, will we see another assassination of a U.S. President not likely we hope, but if so with social media can you imagine the iPhone footage, and photos, even with JFK's killing in Dallas there were a fair amount of filming, and photos at the time of the assassination. There was the Mary Ann Moorman Polaroid, and another film shot by Orville Nix. Orville Nix was using a Keystone auto-zoom model K-810 8 MM movie camera, but it was not until December 1, 1963 that the FBI found out about Nix, and his film.
I'm from New York City, and when Bill Clinton U.S. President came to New York many times, and also when he was campaigning. I walked over from my office at 43rd and 5th Avenue to Bryant Park just a block around the corner to watch him speak when he was campaigning for office for his second term. This must have been around 1996; and I saw him come down 1st avenue to the United Nation around 1999; I remember there was an open window. The area could not be secured, and the Presidents motorcade could not pass by until the window was closed. The apartment was in a complex called Tudor City, a kind of mid evil gothic style building complex. I think the window may have stayed open, but there was an agent in the apartment, pretty amazing stuff to watch. I just lived down the street on 37th street between 1st and second avenue.
Zapruder film is the most famous film in history, because it simply captures an American President being assassinated, and on top of that its incredibly gruesome to watch. The first time I ever saw the Zapruder film was on a very short lived late night show called Good Night America hosted by Geraldo Rivera around 1975; I remember my mother calling me in to watch this, because she knew I was fascinated by it. The film was a bootlegged copy, but it was amazing to watch. The thing that struck me was my mother could not bring herself to watch it, and I remember hearing the gasp in the TV audience at the finial head shot. This was the first time this film had ever been shown on TV.
I'm sure Abraham Zapruder had no intentions on being famous by no means. He was just a guy who walked over from his office with one of his office workers, much like a lot of people did that day, or like I did in 1996; just to get a glimpse of a sitting President John F Kennedy as his motorcade barreled through the streets of Dallas that cool fall sunny day but Zapruder was the one who had the camera with the almost perfect film of the assassination.
MASH, was a great show for a lot of reasons. The actors, the writing the directors ect , but in my MASH was on a great successful path almost from day one, and it has a very crazy gamble when the '74-'75 season ended. The show lost two of it's most popular cast member's of the show at the same time, and appear on there finial show at the same time. Which was MacLean Stevenson's charachter finial show, and the writers, and producers had to scramble to fix this mess. MacLean There no special goodbyes or send offs for Wayne Rogers he abruptly because of a dispute regarding is role on the show, and just did not return for the 1975-1976 season.
So on the finial show of MacLean Stevenson, it was also the last show for Wayne Rogers, and the fall 1975 season began. It shows Hawkeye returning from Tokyo, and learning that Wayne Rogers character Trapper John McIntyre got all his point and was sent home. Well written, to explain his absence. Which was an easy fix. Its the Army at war in Korea, and people go home.
The big gamble was replacing Trapper with squeaky clean BJ Hunnicut family man, and all the above, young just out of medical school. The chemistry with Hawkeye and Trapper was very good, and to flip the chemistry was a major gamble that worked. The show was enormously popular so the flip in the show was something they could try.
Lets take it a step farther, we had to replace the Colonel with a veteran full bird Colonel with Henry Morgan veteran character actor from old Hollywood, this guy was kind of forgotten. The last major thing he did was Dragnet in the late 60's; which ended in 1970; he was old school acting appearing in classic movies such as The Ox Bow Incident opposite Henry Fonda. High Noon with Gary Cooper, and a string of B movies along the way up to his MASH time.
The key to the show, as long as they had Alan Alda as there anchor, and kept him happy they could try these, and make these radical changes. The most wild thing about MASH the show was stingy, as long as MASH was on TV; from 1972 to 1983; there was not one spin off while the show was in its full run. The show Aftermash started the fall of '83; and there was a very, very horrible show that never got past a pilot which was called WALTER.
Unlike all those great CBS Normal Lear show, like All In The Family, and Maude, he was all about the spin off. I think you just had some anger, with some departing cast mates of MASH, that kind of killed opportunities for Stevenson, and Rogers. Wayne Rogers did not fair well after MASH he did a show that lasted maybe 13 or 14 episodes called City Of Angels that debuted in the fall of 1976; Wayne Rogers started an investment company which were his wealth came from, but his TV career floundered, with a small spark in the 80's with House Calls. The same pretty much went for MacLean Stevenson he did 3 very poor TV shows that came out back to back to back. He had The MacLean Stevenson Show 1977; In The Beginning 1978; and the worst of all Hello Larry 1979; but it was the only of the three shows that lasted a full season, and a few shows into 1980
In the following years other original cast member would leave. We lost Larry Linville, and Gary Burghoff, with the addition of David Ogden Stiers another risky move, but with the show in full swing in a new direction his add to the cast worked.
As the show got into the late 70's; and it was getting kind of silly that a show about a war that only in real life lasted about 3 year, from 1950 to 1953; was dragging on about 7 season, and by 1982 10 seasons. It must have been getting harder and hard to write shows. Well that's just me, MASH became a much serious show, by the late 70's and early 80's. A lot of the main stars of the original show are gone now. MacLean Stevens died in 1996; Wayne Rogers died 2015; and Larry Linville died in 2000
MASH when it first aired it did not do well. It was bounced around to several different days of the week, but with Alan Alda getting the spotlight it jumped in the ratings, and the rest is history. The MASH finale Goodbye Amen and Farewell which aired February 28, 1983 with 125 million viewers, I watched of course, was the most watch TV show ever. A record that will never probably be broken.
Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye 1950; this in all likelihood was the last gasp of a gangster movie that James Cagney had appeared in. He really should have stopped at White Heat, but this film came along. Th old Cagney from the 30's was long gone, but still entertaining with some flair of the old days of James Cagney. Also starring Barbara Payton, Ward Bond, and Barton MacLane.
NFL, the National Football league, There are still believe it, or not there is still a hand full of teams from the old NFL, pre 1970 NFL-AFL merger who have never won a super bowl, and there are some shockingly never made an appearance. Lets have a look first at all the NFL teams who were in the NFL prior to 1970
Lets have a look at who was in the NFL in 1969; these are teams who have never won a Super Bowl. The Cleveland Browns, St. Louis Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and the Philadelphia Eagles. Theses are teams that joined the NFL, at various times through the 1940's, and 1950's, and 1960's; with the Lions joining the league in 1930 being the oldest.
Now shall we take this a step further, shockingly even more, some of these teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl. We have the Cleveland Browns, and the Detroit Lions. The interesting thing about the old NFL. The Browns, Lions, and Eagles have all won NFL championships, in the 1950's and 60's, which were played in cold northern cities out doors in the snow, not a very pretty sight, but since the super bowl era, the Lions, and Browns never made it past the NFL championship, and only the Detroit Lions have never made it to the NFC championship in the post NFL championship era. You know very sadly no one cares about the old NFL. The Lions have actually won 4 NFL championship 1935,1952,1953,1957 if only they were called the Super Bowl back then.
The NFL championships have gone largely forgotten. The Detroit Lions with there 4 championship wins, and beating the beating Cleveland Browns in 1957 with there final appearance in an NFL title game, but nobody care or remembers outside of Detroit. The old timers can fondly remember those 1950's wins with the flamboyant Bobby Layne years wining 3 of those championships. If they were Super Bowls we would remember them, but since pre-Super Bowl they are totally forgotten.
Its only fair to add the AFL, which was formed in 1959, and launched in 1960; These original AFL teams have never won a Super Bowl. The Buffalo Bills, Houston Oilers now the Tennessee Titans, The San Diego Chargers, and the Cincinnati Bengals. Since the Titans records are part of the old Oilers, they have won two AFL championships, 1960, and 1961; with the Chargers winning a AFL championship in 1963; although all these are great accomplishments, but with the inception of the Super Bowl, again totally forgotten, as if they were never played.
This as if Major League Baseball's National league being the senior circuit as it's called didn't play a world series until 1946, and both leagues had separate championships. The American league had there, National league with theirs, since they were separate leagues. Then in 1947 boom all merged up, and the world series begins, and those great Yankees championships with Ruth, DiMaggio, and Gehrig forgotten, can you imagine, but the American league was formed early enough in 1901, with the first World series in 1903; with the Boston Americans, and The Pittsburgh Pirates, with any National league championships befroe '03 pretty much long forgotten.
We got the picture, so with the new expansion teams. There are still newer franchises who have not won a Super Bowl. There are the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Carolina Panthers, and I strongly believe, as long as the Lions been in the NFL, these new teams will win the big Super Bowl for sure.
Here's a bit of NFL trivia, there are two teams who have the longest drought since appearing and winning there perspective Super Bowls. The Jets winning Super Bowl 3; in 1968 beating the favorite Baltimore Colts, and the Kansas City Chiefs winning Super Bowl 4 in 1969 beating Joe Kapp, and his Minnesota Vikings, both these teams have not only not won another Super Bowl. The Chiefs nor the Jets haven't even been back since. Which is amazing, this should tell you how hard it is to win. As the Cleveland Cavaliers winning the first championship in the city since the 1964 Browns. The Brown, and Indians do have hope. The championship era was very big very big fan turn out, and televised, also the AFL
The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers 1956; This is one of those films I never get tired of watching. Starring Kevin McCarthy,Dana Wynter,Larry Gates and Carolyn Jones
Michael Phelps, could this be his final Olympics, will he return for 2020. Only time will tell. Anyway here is a look at Phelps over the years.

Simply stated this was just an awful movie with little insight and/or
value offered to movie buffs like myself who would have an interest in
understanding how a legitimate producer would go about arranging
finance for their movie concept. I know it was intended to be tongue in
cheek, but assuming the movie producers pitching their plot would need
to be able to convince a potential financier that they had already
lined up the movie's major stars and a quick phone call or email would
confirm the stars are actually on board for the production.
This movie within a movie was supposedly taking place at the Canne's Film festival and the background music continually played was New Orleans jazz. Go figure? The only semblance of a movie star was Jennifer Tilly, and true to the movie's theme, her acting was also below par.
Don't waste any time on this time waster.

The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals1 dictates that rodent survival surgery be performed aseptically. Aseptic technique utilizes specific practices that minimize the contamination of the surgical site, including patient preparation, surgeon preparation, sterilization of instruments and other supplies, and the use of a clean and controlled environment. Presurgical planning, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative care are essential for successful recovery of animals from survival surgeries.…

Zeljko Raznatovic (Arkan is his nom de guerre) made his approaches last month through a lawyer. He received a dusty response from the Belgian authorities who said he would be extradited if he was found in the country. The request suggests that senior figures in the Milosevic regime are thinking hard about life after the fall of their president and protector.
According to the Belgian authorities, Arkan's approach came through a well-known lawyer, Pierre Chome, who contacted the prosecutor's office on 25 June to find out what would happen if the paramilitary leader travelled to Belgium.
His interest in Belgium is linked to the fact that he has a daughter living in Brussels. His legal position in Belgium is complicated, because he was jailed in Belgium in the late 1970s for a range of crimes and then escaped.
The time lapse means Arkan could not be re-arrested for the crimes for which he was serving his sentence in Belgium in the 1970s. Mr Colpin said Arkan could be detained on outstanding warrants for murder, the robbery of a jewellery store, and other crimes which were subsequently committed in Germany.
But his indictment at the UN's international war crimes tribunal in The Hague would mean that extradition to the Netherlands would take precedence. Some observers believe Arkan may have been exploring the possibility of a reduction in the charges against him in exchange for co-operation with the tribunal. Belgian news reports suggested he might surrender to the Belgian authorities, making way for a prosecution in the Hague with which he would co-operate.
The media pointed out that, as one of Mr Milosevic's closest aides, Arkan could provide substantial information about the planning of ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia. But the tribunal argues that no plea-bargaining arrangements exist for indicted war criminals. "If you plead guilty and co- operate, that is taken into account in mitigation," a spokesman said yesterday. "But a plea-bargain is not something that can be offered."
As leader of the Serb militia called "The Tigers", Arkan is accused of masterminding some of the most vicious episodes of ethnic cleansing in Croatia in 1991 and Bosnia in 1992. He is thought to have been implicated in the massacre of more than 250 Croat men.

Stereotypes and system justification Stereotypes emerge and are used to explain some existing state of affairs, such as social or economic systems, status or power hierarchies, distributions of resources, divisions of social roles, etc. Traits on which subordinate groups positively differentiate themselves actually may serve to reinforce the status quo. System justification: a psychological process whereby an individual perceives, understands, and explains an existing situation or arrangement with the result that the situation or arrangement is maintained.
System justification theory (Jost, Banaji, 1994) People seek to justify the status quo (even when it seems to conflict with personal or group interests)
Examples for stereotyping as system-justification Ross, 1977: randomly assigned roles of "contestant" and "questioner" "contestant" and observer identified the "questiner" as more knowledgeable Assignment to the role of slave leads both master and slave to view the slave as "child-like" and "subservient" Assignment to the role childbearer leads women and men to see women as "nurturing" and men as "autonomous" Stereotypes of the working class: unintelligent, incompetent, dirty, and unreliable may serve as a rationalization of their economic plight similarities between stereotypes of lower class and those of African Americans in the U.S. racial stereotypes were inferred from economic disadvantage
Consequences The way to change stereotypes is to change material reality Different groups across cultures should share esssentially the same stereotype contents if they share the same relative status in their respective societies Even negative stereotypes of dominant groups may serve the function of system-justification, as long as they indicate that the group is somehow well-suited for its status or role (men's assumed competitive qualities)
Taxonomy of Prejudices Based on the Structural Relations between Groups (Fiske and Glick, 2001) admiration envious prejudice status interdependence paternalistic prejudice contemptuous prejudice high low cooperative competitive
Admiration Relative status: high (or equal with the in- group's status) Interdependence: cooperative Stereotype: competent, warm Emotions: respect, admiration, affection Behavoir: defer Experienced by: subordinates toward generous dominants upon whom they are dependent; in- group members toward allies; unchallanged dominants toward their own group
Contemptuous Prejudice Relative status: low Interdependence: competitive Stereotype: not warm and incompetent Emotions: disrespect, resentment, hostility Behavior: avoid, exclude, segregate, exterminate Experinced by: dominants toward subordinates who are seen as illegitimate dependents (a perceived drain on social resources)
Paternalistic prejudice Relative status: low Interdependence: cooperative Stereotype: warm but incompetent Emotions: patronizing affection, pity, liking Behavior: personal intimacy, but role segregation Experienced by: dominants toward subordinates upon whom they are dependent and toward "legitimate" dependents; groups that pose no socioeconomic threat
Envious Prejudice Relative status: high (or equal with the in-group's status) Interdependence: competitive Stereotype: competent but not warm Emotions: envy, fear, resentment, hostility gruging admiration of ablities Behavior: avoid, exclude, segregate, exterminate Experienced by: dominants whose status is slipping and disadvantaged groups toward successful minorities/dominants + the tradition of the scapegoat role in the society
Content of stereotypes

Rhinoplasty Recovery: Congestion is Normal Part of Early Recovery
Nasal congestion, stuffiness, and drainage are a normal part of the rhinoplasty recovery. Not only is the outside of the nose swollen after surgery, but the inside is equally swollen. Fortunately, in the first several weeks following rhinoplasty, the congestion will improve as the swelling subsides.
Web reference: http://www.rhinoplasty-usa.com/html/meet-dr-cochran.html
Congestion is normal
It is normal to be very congested after rhinoplasty for the first week after the procedure. Depending on tip techniques that were performed, it can even be longer. The clear fluid that is dripping out of your nose could be of some concern, and speak to your physician to make sure that it is not cerebrospinal fluid.
Ask your surgeon
Congestion is quite normal after surgery. But given your nice review of your experience and your surgeon, why do you not ask him about these side-effects?

"The Primates at their meeting in Canterbury last January said this was 'a fundamental departure from the faith and teaching held by the majority of our Provinces on the doctrine of marriage.'

"GAFCON recognizes that the Church is not ours. It belongs to Jesus and it is Jesus who builds the Church through his word. We are to be his instruments and not presume to be the architects.

The major takeaway, as the editor of the journal explains, is that "some of the most frequently heard claims about sexuality and gender are not supported by scientific evidence."

A researcher looking at the Church's archives after reading Mary Ann Mueller's extensive article on the crisis in American Episcopal seminaries that showed 70% of TEC's 11 seminaries with fewer than 100 students, crunched the numbers, showing that of the 11 approved and accredited seminaries (one apparently closing in 2017) only 9 exist, if one leaves out Yale and Bishop Kemper.

Mondays and Thursdays
5:45 pm to 6:15 pm
Cost: $5 per person
Location: Brooks Avenue Church of Christ -- 700 Brooks Avenue in Raleigh
In our Body Sculpt class, we would train all the muscles in our body in a highly-intensive, 30-minute resistance training class. We perform both basic body weight exercises and exercises that uses dumbbells or resistant bands.
All fitness level options would be demonstrated so that you could participate in this class. Whether you're out of shape or an athlete, there would be something for you to do in this class!
Each class would have a different focus: upper body, core, and total body.
Upper Body
We work the chest, back, arms, and shoulders, and abs. Some of the exercises we do are push-ups, back extensions and rows, walking planks, mountain climbs, tricep dips, and bicep curls.
We zero in the core area, which includes your abdominal and lower back muscles. Some of the exercises we do are planks, side planks, crunches, reverse crunches, back extension and rows.
Total Body
Perhaps the most intense of all the classes, because it includes lots of plyometric moves such as squat jumps and jumping lunges. We do a combination of upper body, core, and leg exercises.
All classes are coordinated to upbeat and inspiring music! Since the class is so intense, we need more motivation than just hearing the instructor shout at you!
Each participant must bring the following to class:
- Dumbbells or any hand weights up to 10-lbs each. I strongly advise bringing at least two sets of weights where one pair is lighter than the other.
- Floor mat or thick towel for floor work
- If your knees or elbows are sensitive to hard surfaces, consider bringing knee and elbow pads.
- Plenty of fluid
The Body Sculpt class would be available two times a week.
The cost is $5 per class. Classes are Mondays and Thursdays from 5:45 pm to 6:15 pm. Please download our calendar of events on our Home page. We meet at Brooks Avenue Church of Christ -- 700 Brooks Avenue in Raleigh.

But investment-linked life insurance holds out the prospect of getting something back for your money. And many plans offer relatively little actual insurance. Policies come in various forms. The endowment policy to back a mortgage is probably the most familiar. But there are also stand- alone, unit-linked savings plans and single-premium investment bonds for lump-sum investment that can invest in a wide range of assets. The coupling of investment with insurance is largely historical and in the past there were tax allowances on the premiums. But for the most part, these have long since gone.
"We don't recommend life insurance-based investments products very often," says Tim Cockerill of Whitechurch Securities. "As financial advisers we always look first at unit trusts, investment trusts and PEPs. In most situations, they are most suitable for our clients."
He reckons that the typical unit-linked 10-year life insurance policy simply does not stand up to comparison with unit and investment trusts savings plans, especially if they are held in a tax-free PEP.
"Unit and investment trusts give much greater flexbility. You can increase or decrease monthly payments, switch between different funds and you are not locked in."
But it is not only the rigidity of unit-linked life policies that counts against them. This in itself is not a problem for those who last the course. "At the end of the period you are probably going to get a half-decent return. But almost certainly if you choose a unit or investment trust instead you will make more money," says Mr Cockerill. More powerful arguments are to do with cost and tax-efficiency. Charges on life insurance policies are invaribly greater than on unit trusts and PEPs, not least because of the greater commission paid to the sales rep. The commission factor is what makes life company sales reps so keen to sell their wares - despite an investor protection regime designed to guard against the selling of inappropriate investments.
Sales reps may make the tax-free nature of a policy's eventual payout a big part of the sales puff. But while investors pay no tax on qualifying policies, the investment returns within the fund have been subject to income tax and capital gains tax. By contrast, there is no tax on unit and investments trusts held within a PEP.
But if there are strong arguments against using a life policy for regular savings, does the same apply to lump sumps put into insurance-based investment bonds? The tax arguments are again paramount.
Graham Hooper, of Chase de Vere, says: "A company may run two funds, one a unit trust, one an investment bond. If the underlying assets are identical, the underlying unit trust is going to do better because the unit trust doesn't pay capital gains tax internally."
There may be a benefit to some higher rate taxpayers who also use up their annual capital gains tax exemption - pounds 6,000 in the current tax year. Against this possible tax advantage you have to weigh any extra charges on a bond investment compared with a unit trust.
One popular variety of investment bond may have a place. With-profits bonds are designed to iron out stock market fluctuations. As such, they can appeal to more cautious investors. "They have a lower risk profile than unit trusts. They may suit people who want a better return than cash on deposit, but the return will still be lower than a good unit or investment trust," says Tim Cockerill.
Another widely held variety of bond is the distribution bond. These aim to provide a higher income than the building society deposit and the possibility of some capital growth. Mr Hooper says: "We would recommend a distribution bond for people who want a growing income and stability."
He acknowledges the tax disadvantages, but likes the market leading bond from Sun Life largely because of its track record. "The product may be suitable for people who use the building society rather than the equity markets as a yardstick."
And it is the performance of Sun Life's pounds 3bn distribution fund that the company's marketing manager, Keith Middleton, sees as the main selling point. He willingly recognises some of the drawbacks. "The advantages are gradually being eroded. People should look at unit trust PEPs, with their greater flexibility. But PEPs do have an annual investment limit of pounds 6,000, which is too low for many investors."
He also says the concept of a managed fund - with less emphasis on shares and more on gilts and other fixed interest investments - is harder to find among unit trusts.
