The perfect phwoarmula – yet more maths misuse, shoddy science and sexism
May 4th, 2007
Dr Petra
We've got used to seeing mathematical formulas being misused within PR campaigns. Things like the most depressing or happiest day of the year (courtesy of Cliff Arnall), how to have a top snog, or the formula for the 'perfect breast'.
The Sun paper, in an attempt to get a bit more attention for Page 3 have got 'boob boffins' to create a 'phwoarmula for the perfect Page 3 girl'. Apparently it's 34D beauty Keeley who was 'the closest match to their complex equation for the ultimate pin up'.
According to The Sun experts 'quizzed hundreds of fellas about their favourite Sun pin ups to produce the sum' which is S = 0.4c ÷ Hd (1 – FL / FW) squared + Bw squared ÷ BL (T + e 0.33a + WH).
S refers to boob shape which is important (although apparently hair colour, nose and mouth type don't make any difference to women's sex appeal). FL = face length and FW = face width (men apparently prefer models with round faces and small foreheads = Hd). Eye colour – c – is important – darker eyes apparently add 'to a babe's popularity'.
The perfect body is measured by the length (BL) and width (BW) of a woman's boobs, with "the general rule is the bigger the better but pertness plays an important part too". W = a small waist and H= narrow hips, whilst a = smaller nipples and T = shorter body length.
The research was led by Dr David Grainger who according to The Sun is from "top medical research lab Pronostics, in Cambridge". He's reported as saying "Of all the girls that we looked at, Keeley was definitely the closest to the formula….But there isn't just one solution to this – there are lots of ways to look sexy as the rest of The Sun's Page 3 girls prove!"
Pronostics are "a new and revolutionary medical diagnostics company" and according to their website they create medical diagnostics based on biological profiling. The company develops new technologies and also runs clinical trials. It appears to have affiliations with Cambridge University. Worryingly it also seems to think that this latest phwoarmula is worth shouting about as they sent out a press release about it!.
Since there seemed to be a number of unanswered questions about the phwoarmula I emailed David Grainger at Pronostics asking him:
"The Sun's coverage mentions that hundreds of men were questioned to produce the formula. Can you confirm how many men were questioned, how they were targeted and whether any ethical approval was sought for this research?
Was the study conducted through Pronostics or as a separate venture?
How much were you or Pronostics paid for the research?
Did you create the formula or did a PR company or other organisation facilitate this?
Is Pronostics linked with the University of Cambridge and if so was the research completed by UoC staff or as a separate venture?"
Perhaps unsurprisingly I've heard nothing back. Of course if I do get a reply I will put it on the blog. I wonder why they were so keen to promote the phwoarmula in the Sun and their own publicity material but less willing to discuss the wider science behind the story with colleagues?
This is another example of people with links to academic institutions completing PR research on a dodgy topic. I appreciate research funding is hard to come by and some academics have argued that sometimes PR money allows them to answer a fun question that's been bugging them that they wouldn't get cash to research otherwise. Maybe in this case everyone at Pronostics lab were sitting around wishing they could develop a means of vetting female attractiveness but only had funding to develop medical diagnostics. It really isn't clear why a company that appears to be reputable and linked to running clinical trials also does PR research of this kind for The Sun. It certainly raises ethical questions about the competency of those engaged in research at that organisation.
The link between academia and PR research is currently very blurred. Some institutions are very clear that staff are not allowed to do PR types of studies and insist staff who engage in approved wider commercial ventures have to pay a proportion of their profits to their university. Other institutions have a view that any publicity is good publicity and don't seem to care what their staff get up to.
In many cases where an expert or 'boffin' is linked to a college or organisation you may well find this is a very tenuous link indeed (Cliff Arnall's a good example of this as he claims to be part of Cardiff University while the University argue he's not a member of their staff). It is easier when a staff member engages in PR research their college dislikes as they can take disciplinary action – although how often this happens is debatable.
It becomes even more of a grey area when you have people working in organisations with affiliations to academic institutions (as in this case). At that point nobody seems clear who is responsible for overseeing research, ethical practice or just good standards. So if a commercial company wants to do some PR fluff for cash there's not much that can be done about it.
Well, there is one thing. You can report organisations that seem to be engaging in unethical work, or where you see professionals espousing sexist or other prejudiced views you can complain to the university or professional body who employs them.
PR companies deliberately target academics or academic-related staff in a means to give greater credibility to their stories, but the whole time this happens it will lead to the public taking science less seriously – and blocking kosher science stories from getting into the media.
I know a load of scientists and journalists moan about this ongoing PR problem, but we do have the power to tackle it – and we don't even need a made up formula to tell us how.Tweet

'Inaccurate' to compare Spain to Portugal: OECD
The head of the OECD said Thursday it is "inaccurate" and "unfair" to compare the debt problems of Spain with Portugal, after Lisbon announced that it needed a European financial bailout.
"Spain will not have the same problems Portugal is facing," Angel Gurria said in Budapest, where European Union finance ministers are gathering as Lisbon prepares to lodge a formal demand for aid.
Gurria said Madrid had been addressing its problems for some time and that they were "never the same" as those in Lisbon.
It was "completely inaccurate, totally unfair" to lump Spain and other EU states with high debt levels, in alongside Portugal, Ireland and Greece, he said.
"Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom never should have been talked about" in terms of needing a bailout, Gurria said.
Talk of debt rescues "should have stopped with Ireland" in December last year, he added.
Portugal's government will "formally" request financial assistance from EU partners later in the day, a government spokesman said in Lisbon following a cabinet meeting Thursday.
Meanwhile, Spain strove to distance itself from Portugal's debt woes, insisting it would never ask for a similar bailout of its battered economy.
Analysts have said Portugal could require a package worth 70 billion euros (100 billion dollars), compared with 85 billion euros for Ireland and 110 billion euros for Greece.
Gurria noted in Budapest that there "should not be a stigma" attached to calling for a bailout, and blamed dysfunctional markets that were "ill-informed" and "rating agencies making things worse all the time."
A series of downgrades of Portugal's credit-worthiness made Lisbon's latest foray onto money markets on Wednesday so costly its government decided it was better to turn to its euro currency partners, like Dublin and Athens before it.
Gurria, however, emphasised the positives.
"There is life after debt," he said.

Wehne I put this command nmap -v -n 188.8.131.52 on metasploit I get this error
Only ethernet devices can be used for raw scans on Windows, and
"ppp0" is not an ethernet device. Use the --unprivileged option
for this scan.
Wehne I put this command nmap -v -n 184.108.40.206 on metasploit I get this error
Only ethernet devices can be used for raw scans on Windows, and
"ppp0" is not an ethernet device. Use the --unprivileged option
for this scan.
What version of metasploit are you running? This is available when msfconsole first starts and should look something like the following:
=[ metasploit v4.7.0-2013071701
This is my version, and when I ran your command:
msf> nmap -v -n [IPaddr]
The results were as expected. If you are running the latest version AND still having problems, check your ethernet port. From the Kali Linux command prompt, type: ifconfig
You should see eth0 and lo. If you have eth0:0, eth1:1, or even ppp0, then you'll want to bring those interfaces down and leave only eth0 running.
ifconfig eth1 down
ifconfig ppp0 down
I apologize, but I do not know the commands in Windows. My recommendation is to download Kali Linux and use that for your purposes.
Kali Linux is an incredibly diverse platform and will significantly increase the answers to help in this forum. I wish you the best.
no, no, I never said that! As a project, Metasploit is the gold standard for open sourced pentesting products on any platform. It must be understood though that there's lots of moving parts and diagnosing all those moving parts has to come down to somebody with experience in that area. And as i pointed out, I do not have the expertise in using Metasploit from a windows platform. Your question will, sooner or later, be answered by an expert in that area. But IMHO, users of Linux get questions answered faster as a result of the larger expertise base within the community of users/developers.
It could be. Here's the definitive answer from NMap:
To summarize the website: try adding "-sT -Pn" before the "-v" in your scan. It's a windows/nmap issue, NOT a metasploit issue.
The pathupdllinjectbind_tcp payload you are using require you to specify a custom DLL file that will be injected into the exploited process. Since you haven't specified any DLL file, the framework is displaying the error message. If you are unsure what all this means, just stick with the built-in payloads such as meterpreter/bind_tcp or shell/bind_tcp
I don't want to be rude but you have no idea what you are doing. You are attacking a public server which I am sure you don't have any authorization to attack but even worse than that, you are attacking a machine which you don't even know is a Windows machine or a Linux one. If for a second you assume that is a Windows machine then SMB port on a public server is a strict no for any administrator.
In short, if you want to learn Metasploit, configure a machine in VirtualBox or VMWare and practice on it. Asking such questions on this forum or any other forum for that matter won't get you anywhere.

The Niners would like to bury the Rams to make a statement that they now hold the upper hand, and also to send a message to St. Louis that it's not going to be any different next season.
"I'm sure they're going to sit down and evaluate themselves after this game," Niners defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield said. "For them, it can be more mental or physical or whatever. But for us, we know our season doesn't stop here."
And that's the thing. This is an interesting yet delicate situation for the 49ers, a game in which they probably would be better served to rest regulars and any player with even the slightest of injury since they will be competing in a playoff game less than six days after Monday's opening kickoff.
But it's difficult for the Niners to look at this one like that. The Rams had owned them - and the NFC West division - for three seasons before the 49ers ended a six-game losing streak to St. Louis with a 37-13 rout on Oct. 6 that ranks as one of San Francisco's strongest performances of the season.
That victory spurred the Niners toward their first NFC West title in five seasons, and dropped the defending NFC champion Rams to 0-5. St. Louis won its next five games to vault back into the playoff picture, but has since lost four of five to guarantee the Rams their worst finish since they climbed back into prominence in 1999.
The Niners want to make it five of six to give the Rams something to think about in the offseason. But coach Steve Mariucci said that's something he won't try to do at all costs, even though the Niners have a chance to sweep their divisional games for the first time since 1997 and show the rest of division who is boss in the new configuration after realignment.
"They would all love to play this next game extensively because we would like to win it," Mariucci said of his team. "It would be nice to sweep the division. We've done it a couple of times and would like to do it again. But we have to take into consideration the playoff game as well. We'll have to see how it unfolds."

By Michael Hill, Associated Press Writer
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. America might not need yet another exercise machine. Treadmills, weights and resistance equipment already jam the health clubs. Yet Gravity machines have found a niche at the YMCA in this resort town.
On a recent weekday morning, a dozen women and men push, pull and grunt on the machines' slanted glideboards. They push with their legs, then pull with their arms -- up and down diagonally.
"Keep those legs up!" trainer Yonka Perkins tells her straining students. "Keep those glutes nice and tight!"
The $17.6 billion health club industry is always open to something new. The YMCA is one of roughly 30 health clubs in the United States to add Gravity machines since the start of the year. It's not clear if this relatively new device will lead to a hot new trend like Spinning, a popular indoor cycling program, but so far it offers a glimpse into an industry always looking to entice exercisers with new ways to stay tone and trim.
"We're always looking for ways to make exercise more effective, more fun, less time, more pop for your time," said Brooke Correia of the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association.
Gyms have come a long way since the low-tech days of Indian clubs and medicine balls. Rudimentary machines like the motorized belts that jiggled users' bellies have given way to sophisticated machines that keep tabs on cardiovascular activity and simulated distance.
Gravity equipment competes for precious floor space not only with standbys like StairMasters and Pilates equipment, but with newer machines that feature everything from video screens to vibrating bases. Gravity's hook is that it can offer a range of cardio and strength-training exercises -- you can even do Pilates on it -- in a short period of time. The track is adjustable; the steeper the incline, the harder the workout.
"It's very intense," said Joanne Leiser after a 30-minute workout at the Saratoga YMCA. "It's quick and it's cool."
The machines were introduced in 2003 by San Diego-based efi Sports Medicine, creator of the Total Gym. Jesse Campanaro, national sales manager, said sales have been brisk recently, climbing from 130 clubs to more than 160 in the United States since the start of the year.
These are small numbers compared to the estimated 12.65 million people who used resistance machines in 2005, or the 10.5 million who ran on treadmills. But as Campanaro put it, "We're getting a lot more traction."
The machines are essentially a health club version of the company's less expensive Total Gym, a home and rehabilitation machine known to many for the TV infomercials featuring martial arts actor Chuck Norris confidently gliding up and down slantwise.
No infomercials for Gravity, though the system has clearly benefited from the enthusiasm of health club fitness trainers. Jon D'Alessio, group fitness director at The Jungle Club in Vero Beach, Fla., said it's a fast, efficient way to provide both personal training or group sessions. To keep the interest of men, he developed exercises that simulate golf swings and kayak paddling.
"It's much more fun than whatever else I've been doing for the last 15 years," he said.
The machines are often given studio space for group classes of up to a dozen.
The Saratoga YMCA placed its machines in a semicircle inside the hairpin bend of the indoor track, where Perkins regularly leads group sessions there to the beats of Beyonce and Shakira. The 30-minute "total body strengthening" classes have been so popular she has had to add sessions. People show up at 5:30 a.m. to sign up for a 6 a.m. class.
"It's not beating the heck out of your body," said student Lori Tynan. "The machine keeps everything smooth."

From the bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues and one of Newsweek's 150 Women Who Changed the World, a visionary memoir of separation and connectionto the body, the self, and the world
Playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female bodyhow to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own bodya disconnection brought on by her father's sexual abuse and her mother's remoteness. "Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth," she writes, "I could not feel or know their pain."
But Ensler is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of harrowing treatment, she is forced to become first and foremost a bodypricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fullyand gratefullyjoined to the body of the world.
Unflinching and inspiring, Ensler's In the Body of the World calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world.

Verdict Will be of interest to those interested in the women's movement, feminism, and biographies.Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty. Law Lib., Sherman, TX

"Astonishing" Mary Oliver
"A masterpiece. Ensler has accomplished the impossible: weaving together huge, bold, world-changing ideas with beautiful writing, amazing metaphors, and original structure. Truly one of the most courageous and original works of our time." Naomi Klein
"This book is a ride, a river ride through rapids and depths and shallows, dried-up eddies, whirlpools and torrents, crystal-clear pools and the vast ocean at the end. What a thrill and what a spear through the heart. I am astounded by the honesty and clarity of each word." Elizabeth Lesser
"Ensler has written a profound and vulnerable book, full of tenderness and strength. I was amazed by the clarity of her vision and the power of her message about the body and self. This book isn't meant only for patients; it is meant for anyone whose life has intersected with illnessin short, for all of us." Siddhartha Mukherjee
"I dare anyone to read In the Body of the World without crying, without crying out, without getting up and rising to this beautiful broken world with awe and gratitude. There is no pity here, only the raw force of courage in the face of fear and violence, and the healing grace of honesty." Terry Tempest Williams
"Eve Ensler incarnates the pain of the women in the Congo, victims of rape and torture; and of the Earth, victim of so much desecration. Her heart and body are broken, her anger is like fire, and the passion of her writing rattles your soul. This is true literature and true activism." Isabel Allende
"Eve Ensler's memoir is not only wild and raw and incredibly important, it's also that rarest of achievementsa compulsively readable, stunningly rendered work of art that delivers hope and truth, challenge and solace, sometimes simultaneously." Alexandra Fuller
"An intense, riveting memoir . . . not an easy book to read, but a necessary book to read for its fierce, passionate commitment to making the world a safe place for women." The Boston Globe
"An intriguing meditation on illness and the power of stories, itself artfully wrapped around the thirteen-year-old conflict of one countrythe Democratic Republic of Congoand her persecuted women." KQED
"A truly remarkable book. Each chapter is a dense, beautifully realized thing: some are confessional, some half-comical, some poetry, but all intensely felt and powerfully written." Bust Magazine

In the Body of the World
A Memoir
By Eve Ensler
Henry Holt and CompanyCopyright © 2013 Eve Ensler
All rights reserved.
A mother's body against a child's body makes a place. It says you are here. Without this body against your body there is no place. I envy people who miss their mother. Or miss a place or know something called home. The absence of a body against my body created a gap, a hole, a hunger. This hunger determined my life.
I have been exiled from my body. I was ejected at a very young age and I got lost. I did not have a baby. I have been afraid of trees. I have felt the Earth as my enemy. I did not live in the forests. I lived in the concrete city where I could not see the sky or sunset or stars. I moved at the pace of engines and it was faster than my own breath. I became a stranger to myself and to the rhythms of the Earth. I aggrandized my alien identity and wore black and felt superior. My body was a burden. I saw it as something that unfortunately had to be maintained. I had little patience for its needs.
* * *
The absence of a body against my body made attachment abstract. Made my own body dislocated and unable to rest or settle. A body pressed against your body is the beginning of nest. I grew up not in a home but in a kind of free fall of anger and violence that led to a life of constant movement, of leaving and falling. It is why at one point I couldn't stop drinking and fucking. Why I needed people to touch me all the time. It had less to do with sex than location. When you press against me, or put yourself inside me. When you hold me down or lift me up, when you lie on top of me and I can feel your weight, I exist. I am here.
* * *
For years I have been trying to find my way back to my body, and to the Earth. I guess you could say it has been a preoccupation. Although I have felt pleasure in both the Earth and my body, it has been more as a visitor than as an inhabitant. I have tried various routes to get back. Promiscuity, anorexia, performance art. I have spent time by the Adriatic and in the green Vermont mountains, but always I have felt estranged, just as I was estranged from my own mother. I was in awe of her beauty but could not find my way in. Her breasts were not the breasts that fed me. Everyone admired my mother in her tight tops and leggings, with her hair in a French twist, as she drove through our small rich town in her yellow convertible. One gawked at my mother. One desired my mother. And so I gawked and desired the Earth and my mother, and I despised my own body, which was not her body. My body that I had been forced to evacuate when my father invaded and then violated me. And so I lived as a breathless, rapacious machine programmed for striving and accomplishment. Because I did not, could not, inhabit my body or the Earth, I could not feel or know their pain. I could not intuit their unwillingness or refusals, and I most certainly never knew the boundaries of enough. I was driven. I called it working hard, being busy, on top of it, making things happen. But in fact, I could not stop. Stopping would mean experiencing separation, loss, tumbling into a suicidal dislocation.
As I had no reference point for my body, I began to ask other women about their bodies, in particular their vaginas (as I sensed vaginas were important). This led me to writing The Vagina Monologues, which then led me to talking incessantly and obsessively about vaginas. I did this in front of many strangers. As a result of me talking so much about vaginas, women started telling me stories about their bodies. I crisscrossed the Earth in planes, trains, and jeeps. I was hungry for the stories of other women who had experienced violence and suffering. These women and girls had also become exiled from their bodies and they, too, were desperate for a way home. I went to over sixty countries. I heard about women being molested in their beds, flogged in their burqas, acid-burned in their kitchens, left for dead in parking lots. I went to Jalalabad, Sarajevo, Alabama, Port-au-Prince, Peshawar, Pristina. I spent time in refugee camps, in burned-out buildings and backyards, in dark rooms where women whispered their stories by flashlight. Women showed me their ankle lashes and melted faces, the scars on their bodies from knives and burning cigarettes. Some could no longer walk or have sex. Some became quiet and disappeared. Others became driven machines like me.
* * *
Then I went somewhere else. I went outside what I thought I knew. I went to the Congo and I heard stories that shattered all the other stories. In 2007 I landed in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. I heard stories that got inside my body. I heard about a little girl who couldn't stop peeing on herself because huge men had shoved themselves inside her. I heard about an eighty-year-old woman whose legs were broken and torn out of their sockets when the soldiers pulled them over her head and raped her. There were thousands of these stories. The stories saturated my cells and nerves. I stopped sleeping. All the stories began to bleed together. The raping of the Earth. The pillaging of minerals. The destruction of vaginas. They were not separate from each other or from me.
In the Congo there has been a war raging for almost thirteen years. Nearly eight million people have died and hundreds of thousands of women have been raped and tortured. It is an economic war fought over minerals that belong to the Congolese but are pillaged by the world. There are local and foreign militias from Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda. They enter villages and they murder. They rape wives in front of their husbands. They force the husbands and sons to rape their daughters and sisters. They shame and destroy families and take over the villages and the mines. The minerals are abundant in the Congo—tin, copper, gold, and coltain, which are used in our iPhones and PlayStations and computers.
Of course by the time I got to the Congo, I had witnessed the epidemic of violence toward women that scoured the planet, but the Congo was where I witnessed the end of the body, the end of humanity, the end of the world. Femicide, the systematic rape, torture, and destruction of women and girls, was being employed as a military/corporate tactic to secure minerals. Thousands and thousands of women were not only exiled from their bodies, but their bodies and the functions and futures of their bodies were rendered obsolete: wombs and vaginas permanently destroyed.
The Congo and the individual horror stories of her women consumed me. Here I began to see the future—a monstrous vision of global disassociation and greed that not only allowed but encouraged the eradication of the female species in pursuit of minerals and wealth. But I found something else here as well. Inside these stories of unspeakable violence, inside the women of the Congo, was a determination and a life force I had never witnessed. There was grace and gratitude, fierceness and readiness. Inside this world of atrocities and horror was a red-hot energy on the verge of being born. The women had hunger and dreams, demands and a vision. They conceived of a place, a concept, called City of Joy. It would be their sanctuary. It would be a place of safety, of healing, of gathering strength, of coming together, of releasing their pain and trauma. A place where they would declare their joy and power. A place where they would rise as leaders. I, along with my team and the board at V-Day, were committed to finding the resources and energy to help them build it. We would work with UNICEF to do the construction and then, after V-Day, would find the way to support it. The process of building was arduous and seemingly impossible—delayed by rain and lack of roads and electricity, corrupt building managers, poor oversight by UNICEF, and rising prices. We were scheduled to open in May, but on March 17, 2010, they discovered a huge tumor in my uterus.
* * *
Cancer threw me through the window of my disassociation into the center of my body's crisis. The Congo threw me deep into the crisis of the world, and these two experiences merged as I faced the disease and what I felt was the beginning of the end.
* * *
Suddenly the cancer in me was the cancer that is everywhere. The cancer of cruelty, the cancer of greed, the cancer that gets inside people who live downstream from chemical plants, the cancer inside the lungs of coal miners. The cancer from the stress of not achieving enough, the cancer of buried trauma. The cancer that lives in caged chickens and oil-drenched fish. The cancer of carelessness. The cancer in fast-paced must-make-it-have-it-smoke-it-own-it formaldehyde asbestos pesticides hair dye cigarettes cellphones now. My body was no longer an abstraction. There were men cutting into it and tubes coming out of it and bags and catheters draining it and needles bruising it and making it bleed. I was blood and poop and pee and puss. I was burning and nauseous and feverish and weak. I was of the body, in the body. I was body. Body. Body. Body. Cancer, a disease of pathologically dividing cells, burned away the walls of my separateness and landed me in my body, just as the Congo landed me in the body of the world.
* * *
Cancer was an alchemist, an agent of change. Don't get me wrong. I am no apologist for cancer. I am fully aware of the agony of this disease. I appreciate every medical advance that has enabled me to be alive right now. I wake up every day and run my hand over my torso-length scar and am in awe that I had doctors and surgeons who were able to remove the disease from my body. I am humbled that I got to live where there are CAT scan machines and chemotherapy and that I had the money to pay for them through insurance. Absolutely none of these things are givens for most people in the world. I am particularly grateful for the women of the Congo whose strength, beauty, and joy in the midst of horror insisted I rise above my self-pity. I know their ongoing prayers also saved my life. I am in awe that it happens to be 2012, not twenty years ago even. I am gratefully aware that at just about any other point in history I would have been dead at fifty-seven.
In his book, The Emperor of All Maladies, Siddhartha Mukherjee says, "Science is often described as an interactive and cumulative process, a puzzle solved piece by piece with each piece contributing a few hazy pixels to a much larger picture." Science, then, is not unlike a CAT scan, a three-dimensional magnetic electronic beam that captures images as it rotates around the body. Each image is separate but somehow the machine makes them seem like one.
This book is like a CAT scan—a roving examination—capturing images, experiences, ideas, and memories, all of which began in my body. Scanning is somehow the only way I could tell this story. Being cut open, catheterized, chemofied, drugged, pricked, punctured, probed, and ported made a traditional narrative impossible. Once you are diagnosed with cancer, time changes. It both speeds up insanely and stops altogether. It all happened fast. Seven months. Impressions. Scenes. Light beams. Scans.CHAPTER 2
Dr. Sean, who has a dour demeanor, holds up my CAT scan. It's suddenly my bad report card, my dirty underwear, a map of the Congo, and each potential tumor site is a mine. He holds it there and I wait for the pointer stick (he is already wearing the white coat). "Here—your body. As you can see, there appear to be masses in your uterus, your colon, your rectum. There is shadowing in various nodes and there is something in your liver." "Something?" I say. What something would be in my liver? A spoon? A poker chip? A parakeet? What could there be in my liver? "There are spots. They could be cysts. There are sometimes cysts on the liver." Ew, cysts on my liver. "There is definitely something there. We won't know 'til we are in there," he says. In there? In my liver? You won't know if I have cancer in my liver until you are in there? "And what will you do if you find something?" I say. "We won't know until we find it."
It is bad news. The worst news. This is the worst day of my life. This is the day I am told I am going to die. My heart is racing. I know liver. Liver is it. I am a recovering alcoholic. I lived with a many-times-recovering alcoholic. He was one step away from cirrhosis. I know about the liver. Once the liver goes, the whole story goes. You can't live without a liver. But my liver would have healed. I stopped drinking almost thirty-four years ago. I quit smoking twenty years ago. I'm a vegetarian and an activist. I express my emotions a lot, and I've had an incredible amount of sex. I lift weights and walk everywhere, and it's in my liver. Oh my god, it's in my liver.
Then a calm comes over me, the same calm that used to descend as I approached a beating by my father. I am calm. I am not panicked. I am going to die. This is the beginning of the end. And I finally understand this feeling I have had all year. Not depression, no, I have not been depressed. This strange clarity/foreboding that I would not live. So strong was this sense that I talked about death all the time, reconciling myself to it. "If I die on this trip, it will be okay," I would say. "I have had a good life." I said this so often my son talked to his shrink. He was worried. He wanted me not to die and, more important, to stop talking as if I were about to die. The shrink said something about me being traumatized, depressed, and burned out by all the work I was doing in conflict zones. But I know things and I have sensed death in my body all year. I am not panicked and I am not even sorry for myself. Not at all. I have had an extraordinary life.
It is exactly the life I wanted. I have done what I wanted to do. I have seen the world. I have loved my son deeply, his children and my friends, and I have been loved. I wrote plays, and they meant things to some people, and I helped women, or I think I did. We leave the office and I hear myself calmly say to Toast, friend and assistant, intimate and manager, "I am going to the Congo tomorrow. I will need to let Mama C know when I am arriving." Toast looks at me like I am mad. "Excuse me?"
I say, "I am going to the Congo. The cancer is in my liver. You heard the doctor. You saw the CAT scan. Cancer in your liver means death. I need to see the women. I need to be with them in the Congo. I will be happy to die there." He says, "You are not going to the Congo. Your operation is in the morning. You need to be here. They will be operating on you." I say, "I am going," and he says, "You are not." "I am." "No, you're not." And it feels like we are yelling, but I am not sure we were yelling (Toast and I have never yelled in eight years), and it feels like we are wrestling but I don't think we were wrestling. "I am I am I am going to die in the Congo. I need to be there for the City of Joy. I made promises that I need to keep." He says, "They did not say it was definitely on your liver. They said they saw spots." "Spots is a euphemism, Toast. They couldn't say tumor. They couldn't say, 'We see hard lumpy cancer tumors on your liver.' They say spots. It is such a stupid word, spots. It makes you feel stupid just to say the word spots. Why couldn't they be forthright? Why couldn't they tell me the truth? I need the truth."
And we tumble out (not sure it was tumbling) into the hallway in the cancer building in cancer town, and we find two sickly-looking chairs, and we sit down and weep uncontrollably.

I couldn't put this book down until it was finished. It was entertaining while helping me to come to terms with my own Ovarian Cancer which was avoided and missed by my gynae for 18 months. Along came my own angel who saved my life, for how long, I really don't know, do any of us know that? No! So I'm living my life to the full when I can and when I can't I read uplifting books like this one! Well done Eve, I'm going to buy another of your books, you write so well! xx
Having worked in healthcare for 34 years I am well aware of what a human undergoes. Some of the worst procedures are hysterically described and deeply depersonalizing. However, Ms. Ensler makes one feel that she was the only who could describe the atrocities she was faced with. I am very glad that she is well but the short account of her endurance of her treatment process was inelegant and not helpful to someone who recognizes her name and is hoping for some emotional help as well as general medical knowledge of what she underwent. She could have written in a much quieter voice and still have told her story. She needs to remember that people need hope and a gentle voice - reading this book would make one wish for immediate death.
Beautiful book and beautiful woman!!
Amazing and inspirational. Eve Ensler is a brave, honest and gifted writer. She tells the story of her ordeal with cancer in such an inspiring way I was happy to be able to recommend this book to a friend fighting cancer. Thank you Eve for all you are doing to help women around the world and especially in the Congo. You are a true role model for all of us.
For someone who writes in excrutiating detail about other people's physical suffering, she comes across as shallow about her own emotional suffering. I admit that I am biased in that I know and love some of the people referenced in this book and have also lived with loved ones who lived with, and died while, suffering the monstrous indignities of cancer and the present day treatment. I deeply appreciate how this book will help prepare some individuals with the gruesomeness of dealing with cancer and the treatments that are currently available to us. Taken in its totality, however, and as admirable as her overall body of work people should be, both written and in action might be, I find this particular work, as a memoir, to be narcissistic and shallow.

Incorrect encoding after upgrade & migration
I've just upgraded to 3.0.1 and switched to a new server. Full story below, but the result has left with incorrect encoding on the transfered entries. Any easy way to fix this?
Specifically: we use
¥to put in the Japanese Yen mark. After the upgrade, although
¥appears correctly in the SQL DB, once in WordPress, the characters aren't correctly resolved. When viewing in both 'Visual' and 'HTML' editing view, the characters are garbled. If edited in HTML view to ¥ it works fine, but we have 1,000s of these entries, so this isn't an option.
Also, quote marks and some other characters are also garbled.
Example: old version (works fine): http://www.japanconsuming.com/?p=2373
Example: new version (garbled): http://188.8.131.52/?p=2373
Any way to do a universal fix of this on the SQL file or similar?
Note on the installation:
— I completely failed to get php.ini working to allow uploads greater than 2MB. (I have a copy in my htdocs folder, but PHP doesn't find it in info.php). So the way I migrated was a work around (which might be a bad one)
— Backed up the SQL
— Installed WP 2.8.6 on new server
— Imported old SQL DB using phpMyadmin
— Upgraded WP 2.8.6 to 3.0.1
- The topic 'Incorrect encoding after upgrade & migration' is closed to new replies.

Hi all,
I'm using ant 1.1 on Windows 2000
I have a directory called 'Project' with a subdirectory called '1.0'
I have a build.xml files in both directories, call them project.xml and
one.xml respectively
When I try to call the one.xml from project.xml I encounter several problems
(all related)
I have
in my project.xml file.
now, when executing the targets in one.xml, the directories where the
commands are executed are different.
works fine (iff I have the antfile described as above
nor seems to work)
still thinks it is in the Project directory (instead of 1.0).
has the same problem.
I could easily solve this problem, but I will no longer be able to use the
one.xml directly (from within directory 1.0).
Is this a known problem (FAQ doesn't mention it) ?
I guess I just move one.xml to the Project directory for now, and hope for a
bug fix (is this a bug or my mistake?).

The World Federation of Trade Unions denounces the unjustified, unacceptable and provocative reduction of the yearly pay increase from many major companies and enterprises in Japan.
The Presidency of the World Peace Council joins the peace loving organizations commemorating a great victory achieved by the Japanese people, who avoided the construction of yet another US military base in Okinawa.
Japanese social movements and local residents have been protesting for decades against the US military presence and, more recently, against the plans of the allied governments in Tokyo and Washington to install another military base in Japanese soil, where dozens of such structures are already rooted.
Abe is determined to overrule his country's constitution and restore its historic rule over the region, writes Kenny Coyle in the Morning Star.
JAPANESE premier Shinzo Abe seems intent on marking the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII with empty gestures of regret, while at the same time stoking Japan's future military ambitions. As the country marks the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which sealed Japan's WWII fate, Abe and his allies are pushing through new laws that break the anti-war clauses in Japan's post-war constitution by allowing Japanese troops to take part in overseas conflicts.
World Federation of Democratic Youth70 years after the US nuclear bombing on the Japanese cites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY), who celebrates this year the 70th anniversary of its foundation, conmemorate this tragedy calling the democratic and antiimperialist youth to stay united against Imperialism, for a world of lasting peace. We reproduce the statement of WFDY:
70 years are completed today after the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The World Federation of Democratic Youth has a constant position about the usage of such nuclear weapons.

It is not as flexible as the name suggests. Now it can only fetch one or more list(s) of tweets from one user. I would like it to be more flexible, so at least it would be possible to extend the class to be able to use other API calls as well (for instance fetch a list).
Will increase rating when/if plugin evolves.

As the worker of an Online Think Tank we devote relatively a bit of clip discussing Free-Markets and forms of rule specified as Capitalism and Communism, Socialism and Dictatorships and how all of it is so tangled in World Markets.
You can dream of that umteen of the top lawyers in the pastoral favor Constitutional Law and Anti-Trust Law as well.

Absolutely. Now later in attendance are two types of Entrepreneurs. Market Made and Government Made. Often entrepreneurs following the exceptionally quality of Adam Smith's warnings will influence the parliament to put up barriers to the contention or have the parliament itself acquisition or buy products from them in an friendliness association of quite a lot of variety.Post ads:

Truly this is not a REAL entrepreneur, because the real businessperson is one, which somewhat negotiates next to a buyer who is predisposed to leave next to the unit of measurement of export we call for a monetary unit for the produce or work offered.

If you live in Chicago, it still feels like winter. My son requested a warm dessert for after dinner. He loves apple pie so I created a much healthier version and, even better, he helped make it!
We chopped up two apples, which I didn't have time to peel, but feel free. He sprinkled on the cinnamon and poured in the water. He even enjoyed setting the microwave timer, watching every minute go by and stopping and starting it. When the apple was soft, we topped the apple mixture with vanilla frozen yogurt and crunchy granola.
He gave it a big thumb's up!
2 servings
In a microwave safe bowl, combine diced apple, cinnamon, and 2 Tbsp. water.
Microwave mixture for about 3-4 minutes. Stop at each minute and stir until apple is soft.
Equally divide warm apple mixture into two serving bowls. For each bowl, add ¼ cup vanilla frozen yogurt and ½ bag of Jolly Oak Blueberry Crunch Granola.

Top 10 Least Stolen Cars
7. Infiniti EX35
Next on the list is the Infiniti EX35, originally introduced to the U.S. market as a 2008 model year. The EX35 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 297 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque and starting with the 2011 model year, came with a seven-speed automatic transmission. It was the first production vehicle to offer an "Around View Monitor" (AVM); technology that uses small front, side, and rear-mounted cameras to give the drive a birds-eye view of the outside of the vehicle while parking.

Watford are outsiders to end their five-month winless run away from home this weekend when they travel to Sheffield Wednesday.
The Hornets have not won in the last 14 matches on the road and have lost their last three trips so it would require plenty of optimism to take the plunge at 19/10 with Ladbrokes.
It is much easier to make a case for the Owls as they have strung four consecutive victories together at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday can be backed at 7/5 with Coral and this will tempt plenty due to both teams' respective home and away form.
The Hornets were beaten 1-0 at home by the Owls back in December and Sheffield Wednesday have improved significantly since Stuart Gray took the job at the end of last year.
Only Leicester City, Burnley, Wigan Athletic and Derby County have taken more than this total of 37 points during the period of time he's been in charge.
Leon Best has hit form for Sheffield Wednesday, during his loan spell from Blackburn Rovers, netting in each of their last three home games.
Backing the striker to score anytime at 23/10 with Paddy Power could be the best bet of the weekend.

The diocese of Palm Beach has hit back at claims by one of its priests that he has been ostracized for helping to prosecute a suspected pedophile priest who was jailed for six months for having shown a 14-year-old parishioner up to 40 pornographic images on his phone.
The Catholic Whistleblowers network, which is dedicated to exposing abuse cover-ups, has weighed in in support of Fr. John Gallagher, claiming the diocese of Palm Beach demoted him because he wasn't "silent about alleged sexual abuse of minor children."
Irish-born Gallagher has served in Palm Beach since 2000 and claims he was stood down from his role in the parish of the Holy Name of Jesus Christ in West Palm Beach for reporting abuse-related activities concerning Franciscan Fr Jose Palimattom, a visiting priest from India, who had been at the parish of the Holy Name of Jesus Christ for just four weeks in December 2014 when a complaint was made.
Speaking to the Pat Kenny Radio Show Jan. 27 in Ireland, the 48-year-old priest also claimed that when he contacted the diocese to report the incident the morning after it had been reported to him, the diocesan official told him, "We've dealt with this before, we normally put them on a plane and send them back."
When he told the diocesan official that he was cooperating with the sheriff he was told, "Well you don't have to give them all the information."
According to Gallagher, when he related the fact to the official that the incident between Palimattom and the boy had been captured by a security camera, "they asked me not to reveal that information to the sheriff's office."
In his radio interview, Gallagher alleged that the diocese removed his possessions from his parochial house and changed the locks on his home and his office.
He said shortly after April 1, 2015, "things came to a head between the diocese and myself. They told me you don't think and operate with the same mindset as we operate with."
Police believe Palimattom was grooming the teen. Palimattom served a six-month sentence and was given a year's probation and deported from the U.S.
Related: Indian Franciscan accused of showing child pornography to minor
On Thursday, Jan. 28, the diocese of Palm Beach issued a news statement in which it revealed that Palimattom had been invited to serve in the parish of the Holy Name of Jesus Christ by Gallagher. It said that during its screening process, no prior misconduct was revealed.
The statement, which was issued by Dianne Laubert, communications director for the Florida diocese, said it was "deeply disheartened and troubled" by the allegations of Gallagher and stated that it could no longer stand by in "relative silence when we know the allegations are a complete inaccurate representation of the facts."
Elsewhere it stated Gallagher "was not named as pastor of Holy Name of Jesus Church for a number of reasons not related to the incident involving Father Palimattom," and that "access to [Gallagher's] residence was never denied him, nor was he refused sacraments."
"At his request, he was placed on leave and continues to receive salary, health insurance and benefits," the statement continued.
According to the diocese, the County Tyrone-born priest was assigned to a different parish as parochial vicar and was due to begin there July 1, 2015, but he never took up the assignment because he asked to be put on medical leave, which was granted by Bishop Gerald Barbarito.
But Gallagher told media that he was "threatened by the diocese, offered a denotation, and I was asked to resign from priesthood."
In his interview with the Pat Kenny Radio Show he said the diocese told him "We are not happy with your performance or what you have done."
According to Gallagher, he had been operating as a one-man parish with nine Mases. "My collection went up 12% and I took $147,000 off the debt in the time that I was there. The people voted with their feet and their support and our Mass attendance went up."
He also highlighted that when he came out of the hospital after his suspected heart attack, the interim pastor in the parish, in addition to changing the locks, had "asked for my keys from Sr. Ann Monahan, a Dominican of over 67 years, and because she had been in my room getting stuff for me he fired her instantly on the spot and he escorted her off the premises like a criminal."
Gallagher said that he contacted both the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith and the Vatican Commission for the Protection of Minors about this matter, but he received no reply or acknowledgement.
He also revealed that Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston, who heads up the Vatican safeguarding commission, telephoned him from Rome on Oct. 8, and told him to take a vacation.
NCR sought a response from the archdiocese of Boston on this but received no reply.
According to Gallagher, he decided to go public about the row because after 24 years as a priest, his "legal counsel said to me you have nowhere else to go but into the public domain -- you've given the church every opportunity."
The Catholic Whistleblowers Steering Committee demanded in their statement that the officials of the Catholic Church, including Pope Francis, "intervene justly in this matter."
"It is outrageous that Fr. John Gallagher, who has been complimented and lauded by law enforcement officials for contacting them about alleged sexual abuse of a minor child by a priest, is not being treated as a hero by Catholic Church officials, including his bishop," they said.
The Catholic Whistleblowers group demanded that Gallagher "be restored immediately to priestly ministry with all related faculties, benefits, and apologies."
In addition, they said Barbarito should be fired immediately by Pope Francis for his mishandling of the matter.

Regional anaesthesia has become the cornerstone of multimodal analgesia. With the advent of ultrasound guided nerve blocks regional anaesthesia has achieved both greater efficacy and a better safety profile as the injection of local anaesthetic is performed under direct vision. This has allowed a reduction of the amount of local anaesthetic injected as compared to peripheral nerve stimulation technique . Blockade of sciatic nerve combined with saphenous nerve provides anaesthesia and analgesia for ankle/foot surgeries. Various combinations of local anaesthetics have been used to provide optimal blockade . A mixture of lidocaine with a long acting local anaesthetic is commonly used. This provides a rapid onset of blockade, but of a consistently shorter duration compared to a long acting local anaesthetic alone. We hypothesize that sequential perineural injection of lidocaine and bupivacaine provides similar onset but a longer duration of sensory block compared to the same dose and volume of local anaesthetic mixed in advance.

Of course the industrial arsenite form of arsenic is fatally toxic in the tiniest amounts, yet nutrition studies have shown that cell health declines when entirely deprived of naturally occurring dietary arsenic. A small trace in this biologically useful form may actually help displace the toxic industrial (arsenite) form. Almonds, Eggs, Sea Plants and Sea Foods are food sources of the useful form.

Eventually various groups in opposition to the Roman Empire and its dominiation were to acquire the new technology by various means - though other groups were to reject this aspect of imperial control. Woodblock printing was developed as a cheap alternative to the expensive printing presses and metal required, being based in part upon the concepts used in the use of seals: lower grade paper and other materials could be used. Christianity and other faiths, and separatist groups promoted their message using this new technology which removed the possibility of identification by handwriting.
One side effect was the increase in standardised texts in particular belief systems - each group could have the same document.
