Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a motor-neuron condition looking for a cure. Find out how one reporter is not only revealing the challenges ALS patient's have, she's sharing her own story with the disease…
In 2014, social media platforms were ablaze with videos for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. That fundraising initiative raised $220 million for research for a disease that has no known cause and no cure. The need for basic treatment is frustrating to many patients, who are desperate for any sliver of hope.
Related Article: Researchers propose link between gluten and ALS
The latest "VICE" episode on HBO tackles this troubling disease in a segment hosted by VICE editor Angelina Fanous, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2014 at the age of 29. She also wrote about the criticism directed at the fundraising campaign in an article titled, "The Worst Part of the Ice Bucket Challenge Is the People Criticizing It."
Her personal journey helped fuel the episode in looking for answers from the Federal Drug Administration and pharmaceutical companies looking to bring new drugs to the market. Besides the usual government laws and bureaucracy, ALS patients struggle with a race against the clock.
What is ALS?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous New York Yankees baseball player who suffered from the condition. ALS is a type of motor-neuron disease that causes nerve cells to gradually break down and die.
Steve Perrin, M.D., CEO and Chief Scientific Officer, ALS Therapy Development Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, described the disease in the "VICE" episode, "[ALS causes] unrelenting muscle loss from wherever you get your first symptoms across the body."
According to the Mayo Clinic, early signs and symptoms of ALS can include:
- Difficulty walking, tripping or difficulty doing your normal daily activities
- Weakness in your leg, feet or ankles
- Hand weakness or clumsiness
- Slurring of speech or trouble swallowing
- Muscle cramps and twitching in your arms, shoulders and tongue
- Difficulty holding your head up or keeping a good posture
The challenges
The big issue is with the FDA's slow approval of drugs that come to the market because no two ALS patients are alike.
"We've tested a lot of drugs, somewhere along the lines of 300 compounds," said Fernando G. Vieira, M.D., Researcher, ALS TDI to Fanous. "We've had three show efficacy and those are our clinical trial candidates that we are moving forward with."
The episode also reveals that while there are clinical trials available, many patients become frustrated with the lengthy paperwork process or their health has declined too much by the time they are accepted. Unfortunately, time is not on ALS patients' side right now.
Fanous finds that "the FDA's one-size-fits-all system doesn't work for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS." Half the battle for these patients is gaining access to experimental drugs and clinical trials, the current approach isn't working.
Every 90 minutes a patient either dies or is diagnosed with ALS, so the race against time continues.
The "Die Trying" episode of "VICE" premieres on HBO on Friday, June 17 at 11 p.m. It will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand.

Children grow up fast, which is why it is important to document their early years and challenge them at basketball before they develop hand-eye coordination. Remember the good times with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $149 for a private photo shoot with exotic animals for up to six (a $300 value)
Participants put forth their best smiles as they take pictures with at least four animals, such as a lemur, tiger cub, Syberian lynx cub, or eagle owl. They also gain access to an online gallery of up to 100 digital images. Photo shoot lasts approximately one hour.
Tiger Safari
The exotic animals at Tiger Safari have a more important role than just posing for people; they educate the public on conservation efforts. All of the park's programs serve to educate others about the conservation needs of Earth's wildlife in an effort to safeguard the planet's ecosystems and the critters that live within them. With help from the park's caretakers, lemurs, tigers, pythons, foxes, and monkeys venture to homes and picnics to celebrate birthday parties, corporate events, or graduation parties, all while trained staffers share facts about the animals' diet and ecosystem. During safaris and camping excursions, groups of children journey through the park to catch glimpses of kangaroos, tortoises, crocodiles, and dads observed without their shirts tucked in.

John - chapter 4Mature
As Harry walked off I picked myself off the ground, steadying myself against the wall as Jayy ran over to Harry with a stunned look on his face. As i spat a small globule of blood from my mouth I heard Jayy say "Ok Harry I can understand that, he was being a dick, but we cant keep on getting angry with each other. We don't know how long this will last, for all we know it could be worldwide. until the army come we need to work together as best we can. Remember all those plans we made for terrorist attacks on the school? Could be this will be a massive scale of that. We need to keep our cool."
Hearing this set me off. Harry was always the type of guy who claimed to have no soul and not give if he killed someone. I was never like that and killing those ... whatever they were had changed me, here I was trying to hold on to my sanity. "Fraying ends of sanity", I muttered the short song lyric under my breath. Pulling my new gun around from my back were it hung on its strap I aimed at Harry. As I was about to take the shot I saw my family standing around the two teenagers blocking my shot. Wiping my eyes I found Harry's dog Shadow sitting at my feet. Bending over I patted the dog forgetting Harry.
Walking onto the back porch of the house I found everyone else except Jess and Sam. Taking the silent queue I walked everybody outside rubbing my sore shoulder on the way. Once outside I saw the three bodies that someone had mentioned earlier. Their faces obscured by the soft darkness falling over the farm on the hill. I realized that if three got in unnoticed more could as well. Just as that thought occured to me I heard a yell. It sounded like Jayy, straight after there was a gunshot and another shout, this time cursing.

Can Andy Murray win his first grand slam title on clay, or will Rafael Nadal take his tenth title in a row at Roland Garros?Read the full story ›
Djokovic too good for Nadal in Monte Carlo
Novak Djokovic overpowered eight-time champion Rafael Nadal to reach the final of the Monte Carlo Masters.
Djokovic, the world number one, will meet Tomas Berdych in Sunday's final and victory will see the Serb become the first player to sweep the opening three ATP World Tour Masters 1000s of the season.
The 27-year-old has not dropped a set on his 2015 clay-court debut this week and he was simply too good for Nadal as he closed out a comfortable 6-3 6-3 victory in one hour and 38 minutes.
Nadal managed an early break but Australian Open champion Djokovic levelled at 2-2 and broke the Spaniard in the eighth game to take a stranglehold on the first set.
Djokovic's second-set pressure told in the seventh game as he broke for a 4-3 lead and he rattled off the final two games, with only Berdych now in his way from adding the Monte Carlo title to his March Masters wins in Indian Wells and Miami.
Sixth seed Berdych booked a spot in his fourth Masters 1000 final by ending the run of wild card entry Gael Monfils 6-1 6-4.
Nadal suffers shock exit in Miami
Rafael Nadal was dumped out of the Miami Open on Sunday as he suffered a shock defeat to fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco.
The second seed is a four-time finalist in Florida but has never won the tournament and will have to wait at least another year after going down 6-4 2-6 6-3 to his countryman.
Nadal fought back well after losing the first set and looked to have all the momentum but was broken to go 3-1 down in the third and Verdasco held his nerve to move into the last-16.
British third seed Andy Murray cruised to a 6-3 6-4 victory over Santiago Giraldo with the minimum of fuss.
Nadal one away from clay-court record
Rafael Nadal secured a record-equalling 46th clay-court title by beating Juan Monaco in the final of the Argentina Open presentado por Buenos Aires Ciudad.
Nadal won 6-4 6-1 in a little under an hour and a half to draw level with Guillermo Vilas for the number of titles won on clay.
Nadal: No excuses over Berdych defeat
Rafael Nadal refused to make any excuses after his record-equalling winning streak over Tomas Berdych came to a comprehensive end in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on Tuesday.
Berdych won three of his first four meetings with Nadal but had not tasted victory over the Spaniard since 2006, his 17 straight defeats equalling a record in the open era.
However, the 29-year-old Czech picked the ideal time to end the sequence with a stunning 6-2 6-0 7-6 (7/5) victory on Rod Laver Arena and has yet to drop a set in the championship.
I didn't play with the right intensity, with the right rhythm, and the opponent played better than me.
It is a day that I just can congratulate my opponent. It is obvious that I needed something more to be more competitive, as I did in the third set. The third was the right set, the right game that I have to play.
But is obvious that before I didn't play with the right confidence, with the right intensity, losing court (position), playing very short. I make him play very easy. So you cannot expect to win matches in quarter-finals of a grand slam helping the opponent to play well.

Teenager knocks Rafael Nadal out of Wimbledon
World number one Rafael Nadal has been knocked out of Wimbledon after a shock defeat to Australian Nick Kyrgios.
The 19-year-old, who is ranked 144th in the world and making his Wimbledon debut, beat the Spaniard 7-6 5-7 7-6 6-3 on Centre Court to condemn the two-time champion to a fourth-round exit.
Kyrgios will now play Canada's Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals.
Nadal powers past Federer despite painful blister
World number one Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer to reach the Australian Open final earlier today, despite suffering from a painful blister on his racquet hand.
The Spaniard, 27, overcame his hand injury and defeated Federer 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 6-3. He will now face Stanislas Wawrinka for the title on Sunday in Melbourne.
"The blister is good. It looks better every day. We are doing the right things. The blister today is not a problem any more for normal life. It's not painful," said Nadal.
"The problem is to play tennis. The only problem is the position of the blister, the place," he added.
Nadal played with taped up fingers, but was forced to stop and take a medical timeout so his palm injury could be attended to.
Emotional Rafael Nadal beats Djokovic to win US Open
An emotional Rafael Nadal enjoyed one of the most special slam titles of his career after defeating Novak Djokovic to win the US Open. He won 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 after three hours and 21 minutes.
After shaking hands with the world number one, Nadal lay flat on his front sobbing into the court before celebrating with his team.
Speaking afterwards he said this season had been one of the "most emotional" of his career.
"I felt that I did everything right to have my chance here. You play a match against one of the best players in history like Novak on probably his favourite surface, so I knew I had to be almost perfect to win.
"It means a lot for me have this trophy with me today. It's just amazing. I'm very, very happy, and I just say thank you very much to everybody who helped me to make that possible. It's a really special moment for me."

The Duke
Striding down the marble steps with a flair of his trailing cloak, the Duke made his way to the crystal fountain. Here within his private grounds, he walked at ease in only his robe, his bare feet treading cool and free across the smooth walkways and over the soft lawns of green. He had a cup of tea in one hand, and his eyes scanned ahead in a subdued manner, his cane clicking idly beside him as he walked.
It was a fine summer's day and the gardens were lively with color and life. The tall white-washed walls around this inner sanctuary were bare and hot in the sun, and the light from the fountain danced across them in youthful peace.
The Duke sat down on the stone ledge by the fountain and breathed a sigh of content.
And then, out of the corner of his eye, he watched as a man stood up from the bench by the marigolds. The Duke's head snapped to attention and his right hand moved without a thought, placing the tea firmly on the ledge beside him.
The man was standing. That was all. He had previously been sitting on the bench. Then he had stood up.
The Duke rose. "Who are you?" he demanded. "Get out of my garden! I did not send for you."
The young man's eyes laughed while his face remained cool and calm. He wore straight black with a turtle neck and long sleeves, but the fabric was light and silk-like. He made no response.
The Duke frowned. "Well?" he spat.
The young man cleared his throat. "I think you know why I am here," he said in a low voice.
The Duke grew angry. "When I demand a response, I intend to get one," he intoned.
The man paced across the lawn, onto the wide path, and over to stand beside the Duke. He looked up at the Duke, and then slowly, he grew half a foot until their eyes were level.
"You know why I am here," the man repeated. "You always know. The voice in your head tells you. Doesn't it?"
Instead of growing aggressive with accusations and curses, the Duke grew suddenly defensive. "I no not what you speak of," he said.
"Ah, but you do. And I know this better than you do. But that is only because you are too weak to admit. To admit that you have...magic." The man let the word drip from his tongue like blood. "You cower behind your religious restrictions, claim to be devoted, and give the world a steely gaze. But you cannot hide from it. For all your burning and killing, you can never escape what you are. The whole world has been hiding from magic, trying to cover it up, trying to bury it alive. And the whole world possesses it, whether they want it or not."
During this speech, the Duke had found a solid lump in his throat and he could not speak. Stammering with the effort of taking a breath, the Duke's face went beet red. Then he finally let it out in a croak. "I will have you burned before the church!" he managed.
The man took a step forward.
"Aback!" cried the Duke, stumbling backwards in distress.
The man continued to advance. "I've been watching you," he said. "You know things without learning them. You see minutes into the future. Tell me: why I am here."
"You are here to die!" the Duke screeched with hardly a breath emerging from his parched lips. "And so you shall!"
"No," the man sighed, shaking his head. "You've got it wrong. Why ignore the words in your mind? Why deny their truth. You know why I am here. I am here to collect you. To reveal your true identity."
"I am the Duke! And you are a retched freak of nature! Guards!"
"You are a Duke, yes," the man continued, ignoring the Duke's antics. "But you won't be for long. The same judgment that you inflict upon others will be dealt to you. Because you are a hypocrite. We are all hypocrites."
The Duke turned to flee, crying again to the guards. How had this stranger gotten into the inner sanctuary in the first place? Feeling a sudden force around his waist, the Duke fell to his knees. His limbs were not working. His mouth could hardly form the words. "Release me!"
"There are two ways to be released," the man said coldly. "Death or revealance."
"Curse you," the Duke cried, falling now to his stomach.
"I can see now that you are not going to cooperate. And so it shall be the first. Your restrictions and masks of deceit shall be the end of you. Your religion tries to burn me. And so I will burn your religion. Let there be fire."
And the man vanished.

Is the housing market "rigged"?
As retail strategists, we all feel sometimes that looking 10 to 15 years ahead seems almost pretentious. This is particularly the case at the moment, when the retail sector looks set to experience some turmoil over the next three or four years, which could change just about every projection we've already made. The potential entry of Amazon to the Australian market, increased automation in manufacturing, and the opening up of parts of Africa as production centres will all have effects. That said, there are some types of strategic decisions that really need a long-term view. One obvious area is determining the location for a new store, especially when it's an expansion, and you are hoping for something that will be slightly contra-cyclic to existing stores. Retail locations can take up to five years to fully develop, and most would plan on an additional five years of returns following that.

Rab Myriad Jacket Women's
The Rab Women's Myriad Jacket has the waterproof protection and air permeable breathability that alpine climbers look for. This three layer shell features Polartec's NeoShell membrane, which offers the same waterproof protection most ski jackets have as well as the insane levels of breathability that alpinists need.

Part # UQC1072
By A. O. Smith
Part # UQC1072
Warranty 1 Year
Alternate Part #'s 11800, EUQC1072, K48J2PA101A2, K48J2PA105, UQC1072
Voltage 115/230, Max Amps 115V = 9.6 230V = 4.8, Single Speed, Square Flange, RPM = 3450, Threaded Shaft, Frame = 48Y Used on the following models: Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas, Max-E-Glas II, Dura-Glas, Dura-Glas II, Dyna-Glas, Dyna-Max Pentair Whisperflow, Pinnacle and Anthony AR2 Series.
I am in search of a replacement motor for my sta rite max e glas pool pump. K48K2PA105C1 3/4HP 48Y frame Will this motor fit my pump? Exact Fit? Thanks! Victor
Hi, Victor. The Century QC1072 motor is the correct replacement motor, not the UQC1072.
i'm looking to replace my magnetek centurion part #168451, will this motor be an acceptable replacement? Also what would be the difference or advantage of this motor vs the usq1072?
All three of those motors have the same total horsepower, the difference is going to be the amount of amps being used. The energy efficient motor is going to use about 25-30% less amps while putting out the same amount of horsepower.
does this work on Hayward super pump?
The UQC1072 is not compatible with the Hayward Super Pump as this motor is a square flange, and the Super Pump uses a round flange motor. The round flange equivalent to the UQC1072 is the UCT1072 A.O. Smith 3/4 HP Energy Efficient Motor
Why should I purchase a Tune Up Kit?
A Tune Up Kit includes all of the essential replacement seals and gaskets for the pump. The seals and gaskets should be replaced when installing a new motor on your pump. New seals will prevent the pump from leaking water or losing the prime. A Tune Up Kit will protect your motor and ensure that the pump is working efficiently.
Why do I need to purchase a new shaft seal?
We strongly recommend replacing the shaft seal. The purpose of a shaft seal is to prevent water from running down the shaft of the motor and into the motor housing. Water will damage the bearings and cause the motor to fail. A new shaft seal should be installed whenever a motor is replaced. The motor manufacturer can deny the warranty if the motor fails to due to water damage from a faulty shaft seal. To find your shaft seal you will need to visit our Pool Pump Parts Page or the Spa Pump Parts Page and select your make and model.
What is Service Factor?
Service Factor(SF) is a multiplier that when multiplied by the horsepower of the motor indicates the total permissible horsepower loading that may be carried when the motor is operating at rated voltage and frequency. The most important thing to remember when replacing a motor is that the replacement motor's horsepower times its service factor must be equal to or greater than the original motor's horsepower times its service factor. The Service Factor rating can be found on the motor label. See Step 4 of our How to Read a Pool Motor Label guide.
7 0
(5 out of 5 stars) Perfect Replacement
Reviewed By: George C. from Homosassa, FL ()
Pros: Perfect fit for old motor
Cons: Removing old impeller - no way to grasp motor shaft
I paid a little more to get a more efficient motor. Ordered on a Saturday & delivered Tues. After some difficulty in removing the impeller from the shaft of the old motor (there is no good way to grasp the motor shaft and I gingerly used a pipe wrench to dislodge the impeller), installation was a snap following the instructions available on INYO's web site. I recommend purchasing the GO-KIT tune up package as the shaft seal showed wear after 8 years & the gaskets tend to dry out and stretch. The new motor was up and running quietly in about 2 hours start to finish.
(4 out of 5 stars)
Reviewed By: John B. from Poway, CA ()
Pros: quiet, saves elelctricity
Cons: concerns about durabiity
I purchased the Energy Efficient 3/4 HP pump motor which installed just fine, and it runs fine, however the motor draws 5.5a. on my pump which is above its 4.8a rating. The motor I replaced was a standard motor and drew 6.9a. which was within the rating. While this motor is saving electricity, I am concerned about the durability of the new motor. I think that it should not have been rated as a replacement for the 3.4 HP StaRite Max-E-Glas II pump.
(4 out of 5 stars) Good pump
Reviewed By: Frank S. from Rockledge, FL ()
Pros: Good solid motor.
Cons: Instructions not included, electrical connections are difficult due to small space.
Your standard pump motor. Only had this pump for a short while but seems to be working well. Did not come with instructions; a little tricky to install, especially the electrical connection conduit. And not much room to make the wire connections since the terminals are immediately inside the opening. Also, these motors are heavy; it would be helpful to have a second person for installation. But this is a good pump for everyday swimming pool use. Seems well built.

My Feelings For You
So we just cannot say the three words 'I Love You'. Sometimes it doesn't seem enough to explain what we are feeling inside. Yet, it contains all that feelings we have inside us for the one person we can't have in our life and who we are going to love forever.
My feelings for you are so intense,
It's like a forest which is dark and dense,
So clustered with trees of emotions,
That has strong roots but unknown directions.
My feelings for you are so strong,
It's like Celine Dion singing the titanic song,
That gives every heart, strength to move on,
And be in a fairy tale from dusk to dawn.
My feelings for you are so vulnerable,
It is like a code which is easily breakable,
You know how to enter my heart but still you knock,
I give you the password and then you unlock.
My feelings for you are full of scars,
It's like a wounded soldier who still fights in the wars,
He knows he won't win and neither will he die,
He just enjoys losing and he loves to silently cry.
My feelings for you are so heartbreaking,
It's like a harsh treatment that is done for healing,
You are a disease- a lifelong cancer,
Thousand doubts to which I will never have the answers.
My feelings for you are so complicated,
It's like a lover who has never truly dated,
He just kisses the people, whom he never loved,
And loves the one whom he never kissed.
My feelings for you won't go away,
Even when we are apart they are going to stay.
I will miss you each and every day,
And My heart will love you as it loves you today.

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The stuff is unquestionably major league-caliber.
Rubby De La Rosa showed an electrifying three-pitch mix on Friday against the Pirates, mixing a 94-96 mph fastball with a knee-buckling curve and a nasty, diving changeup at which opposing hitters waved helplessly. It was a three-pitch mix that screamed of top-of-the-rotation potential, the raw materials to be an impact starting pitcher in the big leagues.
The Sox, naturally, are enthused about that possibility. However, there's a matter of timing regarding the 23-year-old.
After De La Rosa recorded his second straight outing of two scoreless innings (an appearance in which he struck out two and allowed a double), manager John Farrell was asked where De La Rosa will open the 2013 season. His only uncertainty pertained to which minor league level would prove appropriate for the prospect acquired from the Dodgers in last August's blockbuster trade.
"He'll be in the minor leagues in some place, whether that's in Portland or in Pawtucket remains to be seen," said Farrell. "I think the most important thing is he feels great physically. He's been a student around [pitching coach Juan Nieves] and [special assistant to the GM Pedro Martinez]. He's, as we said after the game in st. Louis, he's a very good-looking young pitcher."
Asked why De La Rosa couldn't be a consideration for the major leagues, Farrell suggested that the team's commitment to his deliberate progression — the Sox are limiting the right-hander to two innings in his spring outings, in deference to the fact that he's coming off of Tommy John surgery and that he's never thrown more than 110 innings in a year — and to the long-term view of him as a starter made him a near certainty for the minors.
Because De La Rosa won't throw more than two innings in any spring outing, the only role in which he'd be considered for the big league roster at the start of the year would be the bullpen. And for now, that's simply not an avenue that the Sox feel compelled to explore.
"We still want to start him. To put him in the bullpen, given what he's come through …," said Farrell, alluding to his surgery. "And our long-term view of him is currently as a starter. That doesn't mean at some point in the future we wouldn't look to make the most of the innings he's gong to give on a given night if the need were to arise here. But our plan is to keep him at two innings through spring training and to build him up once the minor league season begins."
That, in turn, means that Triple-A Pawtucket — where De La Rosa is almost certain to start the year — will benefit from a glimmering prospect in its rotation. De La Rosa seems likely to make an impact on the big league roster at some point in 2013, but it won't be in the season's earliest days.

John Tusa was formerly managing director of the BBC World Service and the Barbican Arts Centre. He is now chair of the Clore Leadership Programme. His latest book is Pain in the Arts.

Tony Blair's speech at Tate Modern should have had the arts world dancing in the auditoriums. So why has the response been so grudging, asks John Tusa.
Quantifiers, bureaucrats, bean-counters ... these are just some of the hurdles facing arts institutions today. In an extract from his new book, John Tusa, who turned the Barbican into a venue of world renown, explains how to beat them
John Tusa: The candidates for the chair have been listed, but first it must be decided what the job is.
A healthy-sounding total of £530m from the Arts and Business report conceals an overall picture that is dangerously lopsided.
A needless sense of middle-class guilt is damaging the arts world by making people reluctant to apply for funding.
Why does modern music so often fail to connect with audiences? Most probably because the audiences do not actually get to hear it.

John Tusa: The death of John Drummond, former head of Radio 3 and the director of the Edinburgh International Festival, at the age of 71 was announced yesterday. He is remembered here by his friend and former colleague.
Yes, society needs the arts to grow and thrive - but there's a much more important reason to fund them, says John Tusa.
The axing of 10 language services to fund one Arabic TV service paints a bleak picture for the rest of the BBC's foreign radio output, John Tusa reports.
On Janacek's 150th birthday, John Tusa visited the composer's favourite forests and pubs - and found more than he bargained for.
John Tusa: It is of course a grossly unfair report.
John Tusa: Essentially, the arts leader has one overriding task: to tell their organisation a story about itself, which the people in the organisation recognise as true, and then to tell the story to the outside world.
John Tusa: The British public won't forgive such shameless scapegoating.

Parisians are calling on the government to combat sexual harassment on public transport after a poll shows that 100 per cent of the women said they experienced at least one incident.
Shocking results show that each of the 600 women surveyed said that they were subjected to sexually-motivated abuse by strangers on trains and the Metro at some point in their lives, according to news website The Local.
Half of all the women polled – who are from the Seine-Saint-Denis and Essone suburbs of Paris – said that the distressing events happened before they even reached the age of 18.
However, due to the "invisible" effects of unwanted attention, crude comments and intimidating behaviour, women are less likely to report them as they would with physical attacks.

As behaviour such as wolf-whistling and threatening body language are hard to prove, it can then also be extremely difficult to prosecute offenders without evidence and help of witnesses.
A 26-year-old anonymous woman said that Paris was the worst city she had lived in when it came to feeling safe around men on public transport.
She told The Local: "The men in Paris take a lot of liberties... it's like they don't really care what they say or how it might make someone feel.
"Sometimes I deliberately change train carriages if there are lots of men. I'd rather not put myself in a situation where I'm alone with only men because I know what would happen."
A report with the detailed findings of the poll was sent to France's health minister Marisol Touraine yesterday by the High Council for Equality between Women and Men (HCEfh) to spur the government into action.
Ms Touraine said the government will respond to the "high quality" report within a few weeks.
Campaigners are seeking training for women in self-defence and what to do in the event that they get harassed, especially in enclosed spaces such as moving public transport.
The Council defined "gender harassment" as "the imposition of any kind of words of behaviour that are intended to created a situation that is intimidating, humiliating, degrading, or offensive".Reuse content

Manchester United 1 (Welbeck 66)
Wolves 0
Wolves were beaten but far from disgraced as they bowed out of the Carling Cup after a narrow defeat against Cup holders Manchester United.
The Reds were reduced to ten men for an hour of the game after the dismissal of Fabio Da Silva for a professional foul but despite creating plenty of chances Wolves couldn't break through the home defencebefore succumbing to a well worked 66th minute winner from Danny Welbeck.
Just four players that began the game against Fulham remained in the starting line-up as United kicked-off defending the Stretford End of Old Trafford.
The home defence cleared Michael Kightly's second minute corner as Wolves made a confident start to the game.
In the 12th minute Dave Jones found Kightly on the right. He cut inside before slipping a short pass to Sylvan Ebanks-Blake who turned and fired narrowly over the bar from just outside the area.
Jody Craddock was in position to clear a low cross from Nani after he had won possession from George Elokobi and United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak dived to take a low drive from Jones when play switched to the other end.
Christophe Berra made a fine headed clearance from Michael Owen as the pair vied for a cross from Welbeck and one time Molineux loanee Darron Gibson was inches away with a dipping shot from 22-yards.
United were reduced to ten men in the 29th minute after last man Da Silva used his arm to trip Kightly who was clean through on goal.
The chance came about through Stefan Maierhofer who block tackled Wes Brown. The ball span into the path of Kightly who sped towards goal only to be upended by Da Silva (pictured) who was immediately shown the red card.
Jones tapped the free-kick to Maierhofer and then ran forward to hit a terrific shot that looked destined for the roof of the net until Kuszczak pulled off a superb reflex save.
Welbeck charged down a Marcus Hahnemann clearance but, fortunately, the loose ball ran to Elokobi who was able to clear.
Owen missed an opportunity when he headed straight at Hahnemann after a cross from Gary Neville who then almost cost his side the lead shortly before the break.
The veteran defender miss-hit a clearance and Jones ran in but his shot went high over the bar after he had lifted it over the advancing keeper.
United 0 Wolves 0
Nenad Milijas was an interval replacement for Segundo Castillo.
Brown had to clear a Kightly cross as Maierhofer threatened and from Kightly's corner Berra powered a close range header over the bar.
Gibson was wide with a shot on the run before Brown cleared a short cross from Karl Henry from just in front of the line.
United went close when Elokobi deflected a Nani centre onto the outside of the near post but, shortly after Kevin Doyle was sent on in place of Ebanks-Blake, The Reds took the lead.
The half was midway through when Welbeck took a return pass from Owen as he sprinted into the box before he stroked the ball past Hahnemann.
Doyle shot over the bar with a shot on the turn as Wolves looked to hit back and then the Irish striker forced a smart save from Kuszczak.
Mick McCarthy then made a final change with Andy Keogh replacing Kightly.
The home supporters breathed a sigh of relief in the 80th minute as Doyle volleyed just wide of the far post after he swung and connected with Elokobi's shot.
In the dying moments Kuszczak saved again from Doyle whilst Hahnemann had to block a well struck shot from home substitute Joshua King.

Connor Ronan admits that he isn't expecting to walk into the first team just because he has made first team appearances this season.
Academy goalkeeping coach, Aled Williams, looks back on how the season went for the Wolves Academy goalkeepers.
Dan Copnall says there were plenty of positives to take from the Under 18's final game of the season, despite losing 2-1 away at Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Wolves Under 18s confirmed the Merit League title with one game to spare as they beat Newcastle United last weekend.
Scott Sellars is remaining upbeat despite his Under 23's 5-4 penalty-shootout defeat to Leamington FC in the final of the Birmingham Senior Cup on Wednesday.

A Rose by any other name would smell as sweet...
When a tragedy happens, Dan is forced into sadness. And he's left alone with a new born baby, and a mother who tends to do everything for him. They say that friends are truly the best things someone could ever need, but can Katy, Dan's best friend, really save him from the darkness?
First in the series of one of prompts that was given to me from my friend. Full list of prompts can be found here: http://beres-ford.livejournal.com/22653.html
Genre: Romance/Tradgedy (couldn't find tradgedy in the
There was always something about a phone call in the middle of the night, that sent chills down Dan's spine. He'd never expected something quite as clichéd as this to happen to him, because well it was true when he realised it only ever really happened in films.
Until of course, it happened to you.
There was no mistaking it, he'd known from the moment he'd picked up the phone and heard his mother speaking on the other end of the phone. His mother hadn't even needed to say it, because he knew, he'd just known. It was one of those moments when before you pick up the phone you know something bad had happened, you know that whoever was calling on the other was about to tell you something life changing and bad.
Dan couldn't say a thing as he heard the details of his wife's death. Grace had been almost nine months pregnant, she'd been working constantly due to the fact that she wanted to save up for the cot they'd chosen together. But it was obvious that they couldn't afford it, Dan was an Actor and Grace a writer… not exactly the most likely couple to have a million pounds now were they?
She'd been on business in London; she'd been attempting to work out a work schedule for the BBC. They'd had so many plans, and Grace working for the BBC was one of them.
They would have been moving to London, the city with the bright lights and seems to never sleep. Oh it's nothing like New York, but London was always a place that Grace and Dan had wanted to go to. They wanted the big house somewhere in the middle of London where they could catch a tube and be in the most exciting place in existence if grace had gotten that job.
But she hadn't.
And now she was dead.
The big bright lights that had once ruled their lives once were now going out.
The day of Graces funeral was the worst for Dan, his mother had arranged everything. The Service, the Church, the music, even the flowers that were to be put on her grave that day. Dan didn't and couldn't do a thing.
The baby had survived; they'd managed to get the baby out before Grace had deteriorated so much that they couldn't. So right now, the said baby, the little girl that had been brought into this world so quickly was being held by her Grandfather, Dan having not been able to look his daughter in the eye from the painful memory that her mother was gone.
Which was what the greater worry was about to his parents, they didn't mind that they comforted him until he fell asleep at night. That was to be expected, especially after going through something as traumatic as losing a wife. But to abandon the baby that had been so eagerly awaited was extremely out of character for Dan.
But then wasn't grief meant to make people appear out of character? Isn't this something that can happen?
Dan wasn't so sure of himself anymore.

How are things at the moment?
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to Grace, and I hope you know that I'm here for you whenever you need me. I may be living in Australia but I'm only a phone call away if you need me.
From: Katy
To: Angela
Subject: Dan.
I haven't heard from Dan in quite a while, I know that Grace's death must have put him under a lot of strain, and with the new baby… poor thing. Just tell him I'm there for him? even if I am what feels like a million miles away.
I'm coming over in a few weeks time, it turns out the Theatre Company are doing a run in Stratford. I'd love for you to be able to come and see me, Dan as well, so long as he's feeling up to it anyway. I hope he's ok, I know that loving a loved one is painful; it was terrible when I lost Mum last year. But to lose a wife or husband is more than… well I'm sure you know what I'm getting at.
Hope that you and Ben are well, Dan's very lucky to have parents like you!

Dear Katy,
It is hard for Dan at the moment, and he's lost his job so that's not made things any better for him. So we've persuaded him to come and stay with us for a while, I think it helps him cope with the baby slightly as well. She's just gorgeous! She's about three months old now; Dan wouldn't hold her for quite some time… and he's still not quite right even now. So Ben and I are looking after her quite a lot at the moment, which we don't mind at all.
We just want to get Dan back to normal.
As for Stratford upon Avon, we would love to come. Whether it's all of us, I don't know, but we'll be there.
Don't worry about that.
All the best,
From: Dan
To: Katy
Subject: RE: Message full of friend goodness!
You're coming back to England!!!!
Believe me, this is just what I need at the moment, it's been hard on my own but I'm coping. I'm sure my Mother will give you a good old description of what I'm like but I'm getting there… just taking a while I suppose.
Anyway, I'll see you at the airport!
Dan x
Heathrow Airport was always a busy place. Always full of people running round attempting to catch their flight in time, parents screaming at children misbehaving, the laughter from some kind of school group as they discuss the latest heart throb in the media. Excited families going on they're yearly holidays, parents hugging their children for one last time before they embark on some kind of travelling experiences.
Airports were full of different people going through different emotions.
Full of people going through different stages of life, there wasn't a shortage of ages in this place.
Babies, Toddlers, Children, Teenagers, Adults, Elderly …
Dan clutched his baby ever so slightly tighter to his chest as he watched some rather tanned looking large built Australian men getting off the flight.
And then he saw Katy.
Grace, Katy and Himself, had been best friends ever since Primary School. In fact he'd been the first boy to "infect their table with boyness" wad what they'd said; from what he could remember, and the three of them had been inseparable since. He hadn't seen her in about a year and a half now (which was a long time for their standards!) her blonde hair was lighter. Which made sense, the sun in Australia was known for its heat, her skinny little arms were tanned. Her face was freckled, and like her arms a lot browner than it had been when she'd left England.
But she was here, and smiling the so familiar smile that used to life his and Graces spirits up whenever they saw it.
Dan couldn't help but grin himself, perhaps the first time since Graces death. He hadn't felt happiness quite like this in a while, despite having a new baby he felt he was oddly detached from the world.
Katy pulled him into a tight hug the moment she got to him; he grinned more when she pulled back to inspect that baby in his arms.
"Oh Dan," Katy whispered looking at the baby. "She's beautiful… what's her name? You never said over the email, and I've been bursting to know!"
Dan laughed as he felt Katy hook her arm around his and began walking towards the exit.
"I don't' know," Dan laughed quietly, "I haven't decided yet. I was hoping you might be able to help me out there."
"I will put my detective hat on and have a good look!" Katy exclaimed before stopping as she drew him into a gentler hug. This time Dan knew exactly what she was about to say and shushed her before she could say anything different.
"I'm ok…" Dan said softly, wrapping his free arm around her and cuddling into the comforting smell of her clothes. "I swear I'm ok…"
"Yeah…" Katy replied smiling slightly, "And I skydived from the moon…"
Dan rolled his eyes as Katy burst into fits of giggles at the look on Dan's face.
Katy Malone had landed in England; and he had a feeling that things were never going to be the dark world he'd been living in ever again. There was something about Katy, something about the way she was that brought a spark into his life, brought a spark into what he did because she was so full of happiness all the time.
Perhaps the lights might get turned on a little bit more than he'd originally thought.
"And the rocks are like… well the biggest thing I've ever seen!" Katy exclaimed over the dinner they were having. His mother had the baby, and had pushed him and Katy out the door, telling them not to come back until they'd eaten something properly and had a good time together.
Dan hadn't been complaining though, he'd thought it as a godsend after what he'd been going through the last few weeks. And it still hurt, of course it did, but he could finally put that to the side for a little bit and enjoy some time with a friend. In time of crisis' friends seemed to be just what people needed; and Katy, right at this very moment in time, was just what Dan needed.
"And then the sun began to go down, everything went quiet and this massive hawk like creature… I don't know what it was. But it flew right over my head! Well I screamed, course I did, not often you get to see something like that, let alone have it almost hit you on the head in the middle of an Australian Wilderness. But it wasn't afraid, it didn't even flinch. And then it just hit me that… well maybe it wasn't so bad to be there after all. I mean I had no make-up, no deodorant, and there weren't any showers anywhere so I hadn't bathed for days. But then I saw that bird thing and it just struck me how beautiful it was, and how lucky I was to be standing there in the midst of it all…"
Dan could only smile and watched as she sipped her water happily in the midst of the restaurant.
Once the dinner had been finished, Dan escorted Katy out of the building happily. It was perhaps true that friends could do you a world of good when things appeared to be…well down.
"So…" Katy said smiling as they walked along some kind of Riverbank, "I'm back to Stratford tomorrow… you gonna be alright?"
"'Course I will… I always am." Dan replied.
"And you know that I know you always aren't…" Katy said softly, "I know you Dan…"
"Well so did Grace, but it doesn't mean that I told her everything does it?"
A silence seemed to cut between the pair after that. It wasn't that Dan was annoyed with Katy for something, he was just fed up with being badgered constantly about something he was supposedly trying to move past.
"I'm sorry…" Katy said quietly.
"Everyone is Katy," Dan said looking at her, "That's all I hear nowadays. If I meet someone in a shop, they look at me and say "I'm sorry…" or "How are you doing?" I mean I met Mrs Wick…remember her? Our old History Teacher and somehow even she'd found out about it all… and I'm sick of it. I just want to move on now but I can't because everyone around me is holding me back…even the baby… oh Katy she's so like her Mother and I don't know what to do with her…I can't even look after my own child…"
"Dan you were fine earlier…"
"Well believe me, that's the first time one of us haven't cried…" Dan replied quickly, crossing his arms and watching as a man walked past with a bunch full of Roses. Whenever Dan had been abroad he'd always seen men attempting to sell things like that to people on the streets for their valentine.
It took a moment before Dan noticed that Katy had briskly walked over to the Rose seller and came back, holding one out to him.
"I'm not one for tradition so I didn't expect you to buy one…" Katy said softly, "But I know that Grace would have given you one, as cheesy as this sounds… lets say this is from her. From beyond the Grave…"
Dan took the flower slowly and smiled gently at his friend. A memory from a while ago came into his head, whilst he'd been in Paris with Grace. They'd danced the night away and Grace had declared that she'd always live on in some kind of Rose…
"I know what to call the baby…" Dan whispered looking at her, "Because Grace said…I haven't lost her… not really have I? Because the baby… no, Rose. She's called Rose…"
"What you talking about?" Katy asked softly.
"Grace can live on, in Rose."

'Hotel Transylvania 2' breaks September record with $47.5 million debut
By Brent Lang
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - "Hotel Transylvania 2" easily topped the weekend box office, sinking its teeth into an impressive $47.5 million, and providing a big win for star Adam Sandler and Sony Pictures, the studio behind the animated franchise.
Both had endured rough patches at ticket booths. Sandler, once among the most consistently commercial leading men in Hollywood, has suffered a series of flops like "Blended," "That's My Boy," and "Jack and Jill" that have inspired questions about his bankability. And Sony, which had its inner workings laid bare in last year's hack attack by North Korea, was subjected to a summer that saw films like "Aloha" and Sandler's video game "Pixels" rejected by audiences. It has been on the upswing in recent weeks, fielding modest hits like "War Room" and "The Perfect Guy," but this is the studio's biggest opening since "22 Jump Street" debuted to $57 million in June of 2014.
It also sets a new September record, passing the previous "Hotel Transylvania's" $42.5 million start in 2012. The $80 million production got off to a strong start overseas, outpacing the first film's results in parts of Latin America.
"It's on it's way to being one of the most beloved franchises of all time," said Rory Bruer, Sony Pictures president of worldwide distribution.
"There are a lot of stories left to tell," he added, saying that he hoped there would be a third installment.
Domestically, it was a competitive weekend at the multiplexes. In addition to "Hotel Transylvania 2," Universal expanded "Everest" from Imax and premium format screens to 3,006 locations, where the high altitude disaster film picked up $13.1 million. That figure is something of a disappointment given the A CinemaScore the film earned in limited release and the solid $7.2 million it generated in its inaugural weekend.
With "Everest" appealing to men and "Hotel Transylvania 2" roping in families, Warner Bros. made a pitch to female ticket buyers with "The Intern." The Nancy Meyers workplace comedy brought in a solid $18.2 million for a second place finish. Filmed for $40 million, it stars Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. That opening puts it in line with previous Meyers' releases such as "Something's Gotta Give" ($16.1 million debut) and "The Holiday" ($12.8 million start). The director's latest effort is just as likely to inspire real estate envy in the heavily female audience that turned out to see the impossibly chic world of "The Intern."
"Nancy Meyers really is a brand onto herself," said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution executive vice president." It's not just the stories that attracts people. It's the lifestyle, it's the sets, it's the clothes." Continued...

Forgive the theme, but we are obsessed with the horrors of a building's demise. In part this is because we are currently working on a large commercial repair project (pictured) where multiple gigantic structural members– replaced only several years back– are so rotted through they crumble with the stab of a screwdriver. In part it's because we have worked on lovely century-old homes that continue to stand proud. As a builder, it's easy for us to identify the what and how of a structure's destiny. But homeowners, well, they can be duped. But it's not their fault.
A building's skeleton– the core structural members of beams, posts, and connections to the foundation– must be protected at all costs. In our moist climate, the enemy is water. A good Northwest builder knows how water finds its course down and around a building and has studied up on the latest thinking for flashing, ventilation, and drainage. Often, these aspects are invisible to homeowners who see surfaces: nice countertops, pretty windows, a fresh paint job. And often, the biggest errors are the hidden ones: for example, the vycor flashing around the windows that you cannot see once the siding is on. A properly installed window directs water down and around the window in a technically designed cascading series; an improperly installed window has flashing that actually forms minute cups that retain water and send it flowing down the sheathing, ultimately soaking the internal members.
You might be amazed how often we drive around Seattle and Ben remarks: "Watch that window. It's going to fail in a few years." Here's the scary part: some of the builders have hip, modern signs and a well marketed presence. But we have to wonder, is the general contractor really a building professional? Or just a good business person?
Ultimately, we hope these businesses won't last. Sadly, their buildings certainly won't. So the scary true story must be told here and there, if only as a reminder to check and recheck your home remodeler's credentials. Their company may be nice, fancy, highly recommended, or simply inexpensive. But the real question is: who taught their carpenters how to build? And do they stash copies of Journal of Light Construction on their bedside table, keep a ready library of Taunton Manuals, and actively engage engineers in discussing the latest on building science?
Because the tale of two buildings boils down to this: the builder who stayed awake at night reading their JLC, and the one who shouldn't be sleeping at night while the drip, drip goes on in the handsome but compromised homes they built 2-3 years ago.
At Blue Sound Construction, our mission is to build legacies: solid homes that shelter generations. You'll find those JLC's close to our heads and our hearts.
