According to usage and conventions which are at last being questioned but have by no means been overcome, the social presence of a woman is different in kind from that of a man. A man's presence is dependent upon the promise of power which he embodies. If the promise is large and credible his presence is striking. If it is small or incredible, he is found to have little presence. The promised power may be moral, physical, temperamental, economic, social, sexual—but its object is always exterior to the man. A man's presence suggests what he is capable of doing to you or for you. His presence may be fabricated, in the sense that he pretends to be capable of what he is not. But the pretense is always toward a power which he exercises on others.
By contrast, a woman's presence expresses her own attitude to herself, and defines what can and cannot be done to her. Her presence is manifest in her gestures, voices, opinions, expressions, clothes, chosen surroundings, taste—indeed there is nothing she can do which does not contribute to her presence. Presence for a woman is so intrinsic to her person that men tend to think of it as an almost physical emanation, a kind of heat or smell or aura.
To be born a woman has been to be born, within an allotted and confined space, into the keeping of men. The social presence of women has developed as a result of their ingenuity in living under such tutelage within such a limited space. But this has been at the cost of a woman's self being split into two. A woman must continually watch herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually.
And so she comes to consider the surveyor and the surveyed within her as the two constituent yet always distinct elements of her identity as a woman.
She has to survey everything she is and everything she does because how she appears to others, and ultimately how she appears to men, is of crucial importance for what is normally thought of as the success of her life. Her own sense of being in herself is supplanted by a sense of being appreciated as herself by another. Men survey women before treating them. Consequently how a woman appears to a man can determine how she will be treated. To acquire some control over this process, women must contain it and internalize it. That part of a woman's self which is the surveyor treats the part which is the surveyed so as to demonstrate to others how her whole self would like to be treated. And this exemplary treatment of herself by herself constitutes her presence. Every woman's presence regulates what is and is not "permissible" within her presence. Every one of her actions—whatever its direct purpose or motivation—is also read as an indication of how she would like to be treated. If a woman throws a glass on the floor, this is an example of how she treats her own emotion of anger and so of how she would wish to be treated by others. If a man does the same, his action is only read as an expression of his anger. If a woman makes a good joke this is an example of how she treats the joker in herself and accordingly of how she as joker-woman would like to be treated by others. Only a man can make a good joke for its own sake.The primary purpose of the passage is to

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Women's volleyball (20-3) was back in action Tuesday night in a non-conference match against the Golden Eagles of La Sierra (17-10). The match seemed to be over as soon as it started as the Mustangs closed shop after three sets (25-17, 25-16, 25-21).
TMC's Stacy Jones (Scottsdale, AZ), Tori Callihan (Simi Valley, CA), Sam Dougherty (Madera, CA), Aubrey Bekendam (Orland, CA), Britney Jones (Northridge, CA), and Rachel Taylor (Sun Valley, CA) combined for 38 kills in the Mustangs' rout of the host Eagles. Sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Gergins (Murrieta, CA) claimed 22 assists, while junior libero Rebbeca Peluffo (La Crescenta, CA) earned 24 digs for the Mustangs.
Collectively, TMC notched 38 kills, 36 assists, 44 digs, and finished with an attack percentage of .232. Notably, the Mustangs' stingy defense held the opposition to a hitting percentage of .061 for the evening.
The Lady Mustangs, who are ranked eighth in the nation, will travel to La Mirada this Saturday to face the NAIA's fourth-ranked team, Biola (20-2, 6-1 GSAC), in a conference showdown. First serve is scheduled for 1:00 PM in Chase Gym.

The East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority's board will vote next week on transferring 105 vacant lots to four nonprofits to use for affordable housing or community green space.
Habitat for Humanity would get nine, the Mid-City Redevelopment Alliance would get seven, the Jarvis Green Foundation would get 35 and the National Housing and Community Development Organization would get 54.
The tax-delinquent properties were transferred to the RDA from the city-parish.
RDA Vice President Mark Goodson said the lots will go for appraised market value — $693,200 total — while the cost of clearing the titles to the properties won't be recouped because it was funded by grant money.
The transaction would represent by far the largest number of adjudicated lots transferred to third parties by the RDA, which had previously transferred nine to Habitat for Humanity.
Goodson said that while some of the lots are contiguous, none constitute a piece of land as big as a city block. The Mid-City Redevelopment Alliance, for example, has six of its seven adjacent to one another and will see if it can purchase the others from their owners to do a townhouse development, said Sam Sanders, the organization's executive director.
Sanders said the properties Mid-City hopes to require are on North 24th Street, behind Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church.
The 105 properties are in areas targeted for redevelopment by the RDA — Old South Baton Rouge, Midcity, Valley Park, Zion City/Glen Oaks, Melrose East, Choctaw Corridor and Scotlandville Gateway.
Habitat for Humanity has been building on the lots it has acquired from the RDA, and the Jarvis Green Foundation, created by former LSU and NFL football player Jarvis Green, has affordable housing as one of its key missions.
Goodson said the National Housing and Community Development Organization is affiliated with Helena Cunningham, the past director of the Louisiana Housing Corp. and one of the developers of 438 Main St., the downtown apartment building that has some affordable housing units in it. Cunningham could not be reached for comment.
Goodson said the large number of lots represents strides the RDA has made at improving the process it uses to clear titles of the liens and lawsuits that typically keep properties out of commerce. But the cost of doing so was funded by a one-time grant. He said the RDA will likely move to a model of specifically selecting adjudicated properties that nonprofits tell it they can use, Goodson said.
The RDA's board will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday at 801 North Blvd., Suite 200.

ANGRY villagers are preparing to fight plans for more than 1,000 homes in their village over the next 17 years.
Weeley parish councillors claim the proposals as part of Tendring Council's local plan – the authority's blueprint for housing and jobs in the coming years – would double the number of homes in the village.
Carol Bannister, vice-chairman of Weeley Parish Council, said the proposals would erode village life.
"I am aware of the dilemma faced by Tendring Council planners, but we all know that to enforce such numbers on this small rural village would destroy our community as we know it and change its character forever," she said.
"An immense 53 hectares of agricultural land between the A133 service area and Weeley Bridge Caravan Park is being proposed as the most likely area for development, but we are told that due to its size, it will be expected to provideamix of uses.
"The parish council is in the process of ensuring that every resident in Weeley and Weeley Heath is made aware of these outrageous proposals."
A public meeting will be held at Weeley village hall at 7pm on September 4.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Wardens Rescue Girls from Tree During Flood — March 15, game wardens rescued girls from up in a tree in a flooded area. Two vehicles had washed off of a Blanco Creek low-water crossing between Sabinal and Concan in Uvalde County after heavy rains. There were six people and one dog total in the vehicles. All were rescued approximately three miles down-stream from the crossing. Game Wardens Dennis Gazaway, Mark McQueary, Mark Chapa, and Steve Backor all responded to the call.
Wrong Number or Incriminating Call? Game wardens in Val Verde County were patrolling Amistad Lake when they came in contact with three people who were bank fishing. None of the suspects had fishing licenses, one individual had outstanding warrants, and the other two were in possession of marijuana. Much to the dismay of one of the suspects in possession, his cell phone went off with a text message stating "Are you smoking yet, Dopey?" Charges are pending.

Building on the success of this program, we are rolling out similar fleet safety programs across the globe.
We have strict controls to ensure our work with chemical and biologic materials is well managed to protect human health and the environment. We use the outcomes from risk assessments to identify and apply risk mitigation strategies to assure workplace safety at every stage of production, research and development, manufacture and disposal.

Mars, GCC teams lead WPIAL squads into PIAA tournament
Of all the talented teams the WPIAL Class AA champion Mars girls soccer team competed against this season, few put up as much of a challenge as ... the Mars boys soccer team?
WPIAL boys soccer finalist Greensburg Central Catholic endured one of Class A's toughest schedules during the regular season. But who knew their toughest competition would come from ... the Centurions' girls soccer team?
Don't get the wrong idea — the Planets' boys and girls teams root for each other, and so do GCC's boys and girls soccer teams.
"They respect each other," Mars girls coach Blair Gerlach said of the boys and girls soccer teams. "It's just a fun little competition."
But the success throughout the athletic programs at both schools is no coincidence. At both Mars (Class AA) and Greensburg Central Catholic (Class A), the boys soccer, girls soccer and girls volleyball teams all played in WPIAL championship games Saturday. At each school, the girls soccer and volleyball teams came away with WPIAL titles while the boys soccer team settled for being runner-up.
"That's absolutely phenomenal, and it definitely speaks to the culture of the school and the quality of the kids that go to GCC," Centurions girls soccer coach Ashley Shasko said. "It's a driven group on and off the field, and they're successful in the classroom and successful in sports. It's a motivated collection of kids, and it's a great thing for the girls to be a part of."
GCC boys soccer coach Tom Sochacki said the school's athletic department researched last week and determined that wins by all three Centurions teams Saturday would have marked the first time three teams from the same school won WPIAL championships on the same day — Mars, of course, had a chance to do the same thing.
"That speaks tremendously to the athletic program and to the kids we have," Sochacki said. "It's not just us or just the girls, it's us two, the volleyball team, the football team, boys cross country, too. There's just one quality team after another. It's just a great place to be — a great place to play, and a great place to coach.
"It's not a competition, but everybody likes to keep up with everybody else. Obviously, the girls have kind of set the standard with winning back to back."
The girls soccer program also has set the standard at Mars, where the Planets won their third consecutive WPIAL championship with a 2-1 shootout victory over Moon on Saturday.
Mars is also the defending PIAA champion. Regardless of whether they won or lost a WPIAL title game Saturday, all six of the Planets' and Centurions teams that participated for a championship qualified for the PIAA playoffs.
Be it the euphoric high from winning the district title or the dejection from getting so far and coming up just short, each team had only about 48 hours to put it behind them and focus on the PIAA playoffs. The PIAA tournaments for soccer and volleyball begin Tuesday night.
"We try to keep things as close as possible (to the regular-season routine)," Gerlach said. "This is a good group of kids, and we've been fortunate to be in this situation the past couple years. ... We don't take it for granted."
Generally speaking, a common theme among all these successful programs at these two athletically prominent schools is they recognize when it's time to focus and work as hard as possible — and also when it's time to stay loose and trust in the fact that all that work and preparation will pay dividends.

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 11.7.13
If you noticed the black space on either side of this pic, you're doing it wrong.
Welcome to Thursday's The Crap We Missed, which happens to be such a mixed bag of sexual innuendo and unfortunately awful looking humans that I honestly feel a little ashamed of it. I mean, I know that with maliciously gleeful intent, I chose to put Liberty Ross' nipples into your brain, then slam it directly with Steven Tyler's androgynous mouth of horror. Then there's Nick Nolte in a liquor store, a picture that I can't understand how it hasn't been the only picture of him in the past year.
Haha, he's dying slowly from alcoholism! GET IT?! I'm the devil,

If corporate headquarters always have a symbolic as well as an organisational function then EADS' arrangements symbolised the political complexity of the pan-European aerospace and defence company.
The group's website lists three "head offices" – in Paris, Munich and Madrid – and one "headquarters", in Amsterdam. But since an April reorganisation, the group has referred to Toulouse, where chief executive Tom Enders and the important Airbus business are based, as its "single operational headquarters". That should have been a clue to staff elsewhere that their future might not be so stable. If you're not operational, you are probably an overhead. So it has proved: EADS is poised to close the Paris office, next to the Bois de Boulogne. Read more

Washington faces big decisions this year on budget issues that include tax cuts, "automatic" spending cuts and an increase in the federal debt limit. But recent remarks by elected officials underscore the deep differences between many Republicans and Democrats.Because neither party has the political strength and credibility to force through its own agenda, compromise and cooperation will be essential for comprehensive reform. It is encouraging, says Concord Coalition Executive Director Robert L. Bixby, "that some responsible lawmakers in both parties seem to understand this and are pushing for constructive action."In a guest column this week in New Hampshire's Nashua Telegraph, Bixby notes that this group includes Rep. Charles Bass, a Republican from that state who co-sponsored a budget resolution based on the work of a bipartisan majority of the Simpson-Bowles commission.The measure was introduced by Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) and Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio). Concord has praised it because it would include savings from all parts of the federal budget as well as tax reforms designed to close loopholes, lower rates and still help slice future deficits.In Concord's public forums and deficit-reduction exercises across the country, ordinary citizens can discuss their different views on federal budget priorities and reach common ground. They often ask why more of their elected representatives can't do the same."It requires political courage and a firm commitment to put broad national interests above all else," Bixby writes. "Bass and the other House members who voted for Cooper-LaTourette showed such courage and commitment – even in the face of intense lobbying from special interests."

Lauren Jackson's absence could open the door for European and WNBA stars to join the Canberra Capitals on a short-term deal while she recovers from chronic injuries.
And despite being sidelined indefinitely, Jackson will be eligible to play in the WNBL finals for Canberra even if she fails to play the 11 regular season games required to compete for a championship.
Fairfax Media can reveal the Capitals have been contacted by international players locked in pay disputes overseas asking whether the club would be willing to sign them.
Jackson started a lucrative three-season deal with the Capitals this year, but her debilitating injuries have forced her to remain out of action.
Jackson and the Capitals still don't know when she will be right to play as the club chases an eighth WNBL title.
The uncertainty and clubs failing to pay players overseas has prompted agents to call the Capitals.
While the Capitals are not actively seeking another player for their roster, chief executive Tony Jackson admitted the idea of recruiting a star on a short-term contract was attractive.
The only problem is the player would have to suit up for Canberra for no fee.
''There's a player deadline to qualify for playing finals and that's coming up extremely quick,'' he said.
''If anything was to happen, we're up against a deadline anyway.
''If an Australian Opals player was coming home, we wouldn't rule out the opportunity for someone to come and play for us for three or four games - if they could play for free.
''If that helped us retain our spot in the top four, that would be great but it's all just speculation and unlikely to happen.''
A host of Australian stars play in Europe during the WNBL season because of the lucrative contracts available.
Former Capitals Marianna Tolo and Abby Bishop are playing abroad for the first time this season, but it is understood neither has been linked with a possible return to Canberra.
Some WNBA players were in Israel and fears for their safety prompted agents to survey their options.
Jackson is working with Australian Institute of Sport medical staff in an attempt to speed up her recovery.
The four-time Olympian was due to return to action earlier this month, but she pulled up sore after training and it was decided to rule her out indefinitely rather than rush her back.
To be eligible to play a part in the run through the finals to a championship, players have to have been involved in a certain number of regular season matches.
The Capitals registered Jackson in time when she returned to help the club to the 2009-10 WNBL title.
However, the club admits it is unsure if Jackson will return until the start of next year.
If she is sidelined until January, she will play just nine games before the start of the finals.
''I'm confident [Lauren Jackson] will play at some stage this season. Whether that's this side of Christmas or in the New Year I'm just not sure,'' Tony Jackson said.
''She's on a medical clearance as well, so she doesn't have to play the 11 games to qualify for the finals because she is on a contract and recovering from her injuries.
''If her injury takes longer than we all hope and she's not ready until closer to the finals, then under the rules she can play.''
The Capitals play two matches this weekend.
WNBL round nine
Friday: Canberra Capitals v Logan Thunder at AIS Arena, 7pm. Tickets available from Ticketek. Saturday: Canberra Capitals v Dandenong Rangers at Dandenong, 7pm.

Did you know?
The iSimangaliso Wetlands Park on KwaZulu-Natal's Elephant Coast contains most of South Africa's remaining swamp forests and is Africa's largest estuarine system.
When it comes to honeymoons in South Africa, one of the most popular to choose from is a honeymoon in the bush. There's barely a corner of the country that doesn't have a wildlife or nature reserve, be it a national park or a privately owned game farm.
Honeymoons in the bush are possible in just about every province in South Africa. The world-famous Kruger National Park straddles two provinces. The southern and northern sections, in Mpumalanga and Limpopo respectively, are quite different in ambience. The south is busier with more facilities, the north more remote with some species of game not found in the south.
In addition to South African National Parks-operated rest camps, both sections have privately run lodges where the standards are more superior. On the borders of the Kruger are two reserves noted for a clutch of upmarket lodges, namely the Sabi Sand Reserve in Mpumalanga and the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve in Limpopo. Renowned names such as Londolozi, Mala Mala, Sabi Sabi and Ulusaba among others are synonymous with these reserves.
A coastal bush honeymoon is possible at the Addo Elephant National Park near Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. This destination is particularly rewarding because it adds two more creatures to the Big 5 – the southern right whale and the great white shark.
A top-end, privately run reserve of acclaim not too far from Addo is the Shamwari Game Reserve, which has six plush lodges.
KwaZulu-Natal's Elephant Coast (its northern-most coast, beneath the Mozambican border) has a number of wildlife areas suited to honeymoons. The iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site, is the star attraction here, with eight interlinking eco-systems, ancient coastal dunes and a rich marine life. Privately run reserves in the area, like the Phinda Private Game Reserve with its six lodges, are also well regarded.
The North West province has two Big 5 game parks, once again with private lodges – the Pilanesberg National Park and Madikwe Game Reserve. The location of the former, next to Sun City, allows bush honeymooners to add a touch of glitzy entertainment to their stay. Madikwe is about a four-hour drive from Johannesburg, and you're guaranteed spectacular sightings and romantic sunsets here.

Best time to visit
In general, all bush areas in the country are year-round destinations. Winter months (May to August) are often a better time to venture out as the sparser vegetation makes it easier to view game, the temperatures are milder and the lack of rain in most parts of the country reduces the occurrence of malaria.
But there are more bird species to see in the summer, the weather is usually lovely and hot, and the summer rains means the bush is greener and arguably more beautiful.
Get around
Driving along sand roads in wilderness areas is often not possible in an ordinary car, so ensure your transport requirements are organised beforehand. You can use a sedan in the Kruger National Park, though a vehicle that is higher up off the road is preferrable. Most private game lodges are accessible by ordinary car, and after you've reached the lodge, you'll be transported in special game vehicles.
What will it cost
Prices range from lower-end more rustic accommodation in the national parks to more costly accommodation in lodges on the private game reserves. Please note that you need to book long in advance for accommodation in national parks, in particular the Kruger National Park. If you can, spoil yourselves with a couple of nights in a private game reserve in the Sabi Sand, Madikwe, Shamwari, or somewhere similar.
Length of stay
Spend a week or more enjoying the bushveld and all it has to offer.
What to eat
Try wild game for the first time. Eating around a traditional African boma under the stars, which is often done for dinners in private lodges, is a wonderful experience. A variety of dishes are usually on offer.

|Tripping the Light Fantastic
Part 2: NEB achieved impressive weight reduction.
By George L. Petrie
To meet the transatlantic range requirement, C. Raymond Hunt designers kept the hull bottom as smooth and uncluttered as possible. There's only one running strake on each side of the hull beginning at the stem on the waterline and extending aft at a uniform distance below and inboard of the chine, following the natural flow lines of the water along the hull at low speed to minimize added resistance. But at high speed, with a different flow pattern over the bottom, the strakes perform their primary function of deflecting spray downward and adding dynamic lift.
Another necessary component to meet the range requirement was tank capacity, about 4,000 gallons of diesel fuel, plus freshwater, graywater, and holding tanks, in an array of integral composite fuel tanks that span almost the width of the hull's inner bottom and some two-thirds of its length. But the critical element in satisfying seemingly incompatible range and speed requirements was to minimize weight.
Employing materials and construction processes rarely used in motoryacht construction, NEB achieved impressive weight reduction, an estimated 20 percent or more of the yacht's total displacement. On the down side, more expensive materials and more labor-intensive processes upped the cost about 30 percent compared to conventional fiberglass construction. But that's not a fair comparison, because the yacht would not have met her performance goals if built in the conventional way, or she would have given up interior space for bigger engines and more fuel tanks.

Disable the BombScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
There is a box with a highly explosive bomb inside it. The lid of the box is made of glass and attached to this lid is a bowl of mercury with a dozen exposed wire leads just out of reach of the mercury. You know that any attempt to remove the lid or cut through it would move the mercury enough to trip the bomb. How do you safely disarm this booby trap to disengage the bomb?
AnswerBy heating the steel box and raising the temperature inside, the mercury, which has a relatively low evaporation point, will disappear making it safe to lift the lid. Just be careful not to inhale any of the fumes.
