City staff reviews leash-free zones after public, HCA express concerns
Craig Campbell, Dundas Star News Staff
Published on Feb 04, 2010
Hamilton is already behind other Ontario municipalities in providing safe leash-free dog-running areas and appears to have ignored its own policy by permitting a free-running area to continue in Warren Park.
City staff is currently reviewing the leashfree zone after concerns from the community and Hamilton Conservation Authority.
In its 2003 leash free parks policy, Hamilton differentiates between fenced dog parks and unfenced free-running areas. The city now operates four unfenced running areas and does not have any fenced dog parks. The SPCA offers a fenced dog park on Dartnall Road.
The Dundas Star News reviewed the leash-free park policies of 10 other Ontario municipalities and found the majority require a fence around any area where dogs are permitted to run at large. The rest require fencing when a free-running area is located close to an environmentally significant area, or don't allow dogs in those areas at all, either on-leash or at-large.
Former Town of Dundas recreation director Rick Lane now works for the City of St. Catharines.
He said the municipality has two fully enclosed leash-free parks, including one that is 2.5 acres, and is considering creating another one. The third will also be fenced.
"It makes for safer conditions for pets and pet owners," Lane said.
Last summer, when the Hamilton Conservation Authority raised concerns about dogs running at large on its properties adjacent to the leash-free area at Warren Park, City of Hamilton animal control manager told the Dundas Star News every dog owner says their pet would never bite a person or another dog.
"My personal opinion is we tend to attribute human behaviour or motives to their actions, forgetting they don't think the way we think," Buckle said. "(Dogs) don't have human motives. They're also not 100 per cent predictable.
"People are dumbfounded when their dog bites somebody. No one ever expects their dog to do that."
The former Town of Dundas permitted six leash-free areas in neighbourhood parks in 1987.
Apparently, no rules or selection criteria were established. After amalgamation, it was a surprise to many people the designations actually existed. Since then, use of the leashfree areas has increased.
In 2004, after approving a leash-free policy, the city repealed the free running designations for Valley City Community Centre, Sanctuary Park and Olympic Park. Leash-free zones officially continued in Warren Park, Little John Park and Chegwin Park.
The city subsequently designated a fourth free-running area in Ancaster at Cinema Park on Golf Links Road.
City staff recommended repealing the leash-free status for three Dundas parks, but the May 2004 public works staff report did not explain how those areas contravened city policy. It recommended continuing the leash-free designation in Warren Park, but did not mention the designation contravened two requirements of the policy –that leash-free parks are not to be located in Environmentally Significant Areas, and that they not be located next to trails. Warren Park is part of an ESA and features trails that directly link to HCA trails where at large dogs are prohibited.
Hamilton's leash-free policy does not address the idea of fencing leash free zones.
The City of Ottawa has an extensive policy for designating parks for dogs. Every one of the amalgamated city's parks has been individually assessed and designated as off-leash, on-leash only or no dogs at all. Dogs are not permitted in parks adjacent to conservation areas.
In Toronto, the city policy requires a leash-free zone be completely fenced if it is within 10 metres of a naturalized area or ravine.
The City of London requires leash-free zones be fenced, and does not consider Environmentally Significant Areas suitable for free running dogs.
London requires the fenced zones be set back at least 15 metres from ESA's and watercourses.
Mississauga, Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo, Oakville and Oshawa are other examples of municipalities that fence all their leash free zones, unlike Hamilton.

pedestrian letter
It was...
Common sense required when it's time to cross the street TheSpec.com - LettertotheEditor - Common sense required when it's time to cross the street
Natasha Wickie
The Hamilton Spectator
(Feb 1, 2010)
Re: Pedestrian fatalities
I can't believe how many people are being killed just trying to get to the other side. (Good start! Identify the problem, people getting killed for trying to cross streets! You go, girl!)
We need to adjust our laws to give cars the right-of-way. (Blink. Blink. Wha? Why, pray tell?) People are more manoeuvrable, can stop on a dime and don't have blind spots, unlike cars, trucks and buses (Ohhhh, and therefore should be punished for being better than cars trucks and buses? Am I missing something here). Pedestrians need to be reminded that cars will win every time (And I thought we were reminded every time someone is run down by a car).
At what point did we forget the fundamentals of crossing the street: Look both ways, proceed with caution. (Sound reasonable, but at what point did some drivers and letter writers forget that driving a car means being in control and proceeding with caution?) Pedestrians who have the right-of-way believe this gives them a right to completely ignore crossing signs, crosswalks or even a car racing toward them (If the pedestrian has the right of way, and they should, but in this car dominant society they don't, then vehicles should not, for example, be racing toward them when they are crossing a street. If pedestrians truly had the right of way, cars would be going slower, stopping more frequently, and always be prepared to give way to pedestrians. Instead, it is car drivers who believe they should not have to slow down, or heaven forbid, stop, on their way to any destination. We won't even get into the number of red light runners, all way-stop violations, speeding, drunk drivers, cell phone yacking drivers, etc.).
Common sense seems to have gone out the window here, and will no longer be required to cross the street. (Or write letters to the editor, I humbly submit)

Location: Soil Management Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
Engineer, field-test, and demonstrate a novel method of postemergence weed control that employs abrasive grit propelled by compressed air. Development of field-scale equipment and intensive field validation are required for this promising new technique, which is expected to meet certified organic standards.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Engineering approaches involve: (i) harnessing a tractor's energy to compress air (~500 kPa) sufficiently for (ii) propelling crop-derived grit in a directed fashion through nozzles at speeds that abrade small weed seedlings selectively within crop rows, (iii) adapting nozzles for optimum patterns of grit application, and (iv) attaching multiple pairs of nozzles onto a tractor-mounted toolbar for simultaneous multiple-row weed control. Field research entails testing: (i) the timing and frequency of application passes, (ii) air pressure or grit air speed requirements, and (iii) grit size and hardness, e.g., walnut (hard) vs. corn cob (soft), to affect season-long control of weeds without crop injury in common annual and high-value perennial row crops. Demonstrations include displays of prototype equipment in action and their selective effects on weeds and crops at field days in Minnesota and South Dakota. Outcomes anticipated comprise: (i) a novel and tangible implement for non-chemical weed control; (ii) two peer-reviewed articles, one in an engineering journal and another in an agronomic journal; (iii) an extension bulletin describing the new system; and (iv) possible patents for the resulting implements. The expected audiences for the project are organic growers and equipment manufacturers. Both audiences will be exposed to an entirely new form of physical weed control that incorporates a novel use for crop residues.
3. Progress Report:
During FY2012, the beta-test version of a tractor-mounted 4-row grit applicator was completed. This implement has been fine-tuned in field plots during the summer of 2012 for implementation during spring of 2013. The implement was designed and constructed by engineers at South Dakota State University.

The Facts About Fluoridation.
Keynote speaker professor Paul Connett Tuesday 4th June 2013, 7PM at the Corn Exchange Bedford.
Tickets £3 from the Central Box Office, call 01234 269519.
The main focus of this campaign is to get the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire
Strategic Health Authority to reopen consultation on the issue. If you are undecided
about fluoridation, then the consultation process will allow you to listen to both sides
of the debate. To sign the petition to reopen consultation, click here.
Cynthia Bagchi of the Bedford Allergy Support Group pointed the issue out to
me. She had sent a number of letters to Anglian Water, Bedford's water
provider, as well as the local health authority to confirm the situation.
After 2 weeks of internet research I was sufficiently concerned enough to
co-organise a debate on the subject with Cynthia in Bedford. The debate finally
put everything into perspective for me. Collectively,
myself, Cynthia and the Munro-Halls (local dentists opposed to water
fluoridation) can't get fluoride out of Bedfordshire's water fast enough!!! For a
summary of our objections, click here. To start at
the beginning, click here.
Just two events to put this all in perspective though:
We know that Bedfordshire will be a safer and healthier place to live without
fluoride in the water and we hope that we can count on your help and support to
make it happen. To find out more about what we're doing, click here.
Best Regards,
Paul Armstrong, on behalf of the 'End the FIB' campaign
P.S. Please, please, please
do publicise this site to your family, friends and colleagues in Bedfordshire.
Everyone has the right to make up their own mind on the subject after examining
both sides of the issue.

Thank you!
Unfortunately mine arrived with a buckle missing, I contacted and I would've had to send the bag back to get a replacement bag. I would've expected/ preferred to have been sent the buckle to save the faff in sending the bag back so instead I found a replacement buckle on eBay. I recommend they quality check products before sending out to save disappointment. 2.5cm webbing buckle was perfect replacement. Apart from that I'm very happy with the bag and it's on it's way to Thailand/Cambodia with me this weekend so hope it survives the trip!

I'm not sure how much weight this will support, the quality of the material feels rather cheap - I didn't trust it to carry anything more than clothes, but got a lot in to it!
Hard to be too critical at this price.

The Atari 2600 and 5200 were revolutionary home gaming consoles; over their years on the market -- the 2600 remained in production from 1977 to 1991 -- dozens of companies produced hundreds of games for these systems. Some of these rare games command high prices from collectors, while most sit within a relatively affordable price range. Several factors determine the value of an old Atari game.
Game Condition
The first and most important question about any Atari game is the condition of the cartridge itself. A non-working game, especially a common one, is worth next to nothing. However, non-working cartridges can sometimes be restored to working order simply by removing small amounts of oxidation from the cartridge's metal contacts. Be careful, though; overzealous cleaning can actually damage the contacts further. The appearance of the cartridge matters to some collectors, but most retrogames enthusiasts are focused on gameplay; a battered cartridge is still valuable as long as it works.
Rare Games
The rarer the game, the higher the value. This is particularly true for the Atari 2600, where many games were never even released through normal distribution channels. For instance, "Chase the Chuck Wagon" was a giveaway for dog food customers; very few people sent away for copies, and those that survive are now prized by collectors. The rarest Atari 2600 game is "Air Raid," of which only 13 copies are known to exist. An intact copy sold in 2010 for over $30,000. Don't get too excited, though -- most 2600 games are worth less than $100, often significantly less.
The Classics
If you're trying to sell your old Atari games, low prices won't thrill you, but if you're trying to assemble a library, you're in luck. Some of the most common -- and therefore most affordable -- games for these consoles are also some of the best. Classics like "Pitfall!," "Frogger," "Yars' Revenge" and "The Empire Strikes Back" can be had for a fraction of the price of a modern game. Some other classics, such as "Adventure!," come with a slightly higher price tag. Some games were ubiquitous in their day but are still prized by collectors -- the "E.T." game was so unsuccessful that unsold copies were dumped in a huge landfill in the New Mexico desert. When the local government excavated the landfill, authentic dumped cartridges became hot collector's items, going for over $1,000 in some cases.
Adding Accessories
A game's value is much higher if it comes with its original box and accessories. These typically include a small manual, but can include other items as well. For instance, Activision's "Space Shuttle" came with a set of overlays for players to place over the screen. Without these, the various indicators and warning lights on the game's display were meaningless. A complete game with its box, manual and any other inclusions can command three times or more the price of a cartridge alone.

Peach-faced lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis), native to East Africa, are breeding in the wilds of Scotland, according to this article at scotsman.com. The birds, known in the town of Dunbar since at least 2001, are assumed to be former pets that were released by their owners into the wild. Arizona also has established populations of this species - check out this site for detailed information along with adorable photos of lovebirds on saguaro.

People Have Died Over Your iPad
If you knew that Chinese workers at one of Apple's main suppliers, Foxconn, were overworked, underpaid, and committed suicide over your iPad, would you still want one? At least 14 workers at Foxconn have already killed themselves within the last 16 months due to horrible working conditions.
Employees are banned from talking, must work 12-hour shifts and often work 65 hour weeks, every week. Employees earn a daily wage of $9 for the entire day and must sleep in dormitories when their shifts are over. Although Foxconn claims that all overtime is voluntary, employees are humiliated when they choose not to work overtime. During peak periods of the iPad, workers had only one day off in 14 days.
So many of these hard-working employees have died or have attempted suicide that Foxconn now makes employees sign a "no suicide pledge." Of course, even if Steve Jobs of Apple is aggressive with meeting demands for American iPad consumers, one must put one's foot down when it comes to conditions like these. This is precisely what Business Ethics is all about. Instead, Chinese response was to put anti-suicide nets around the building rather than addressing the problem. My only question to Steve Jobs is "What will you do about this situation?"

Project Glass: Google's Augmented Reality
It's been a rumor for a few months, but Google is actually putting their "Project Glass" technology out in the wild. They've been seen in the hands of Google employees.
This stuff is the future. We just need to find out who does it right. Google has some impressive technology here, and it actually works.
All powered by Android. I'm still an iOS guy, but I can see this as changing my tune.
Papervision Augmented Reality
In the 2008 presidential elections, CNN had some pretty "cheesy" special effects.
CNN tried to involve "holograms" (they were far from holograms technically) into their live coverage. In reality, it was mostly augmented reality that they were using. Give them credit for trying something new. It would have been nice for them not to say it was a hologram. For the next 5 years people are going to see real holograms and say they saw CNN do it better in 2008.
Boffswana (formerly Digital Pictures Interactive) has published the source code to a Papervision and Flash powered augmented reality.
Papervision – Augmented Reality, lets you print out a symbol and place it on your desk. When you start up the flash movie and let it access your video camera, you can move a 3d object around in the flash movie — augmented reality .. not a hologram — and see a 3d monster object move around as if he were on top of it.
They provide source code and printouts. How fun.
The project requires Papervision and FLARToolkit libraries.
A video from there site is below:

When you think about rock at its origin, and you think of the Beatles and millions of kids screaming as loud as they can and running as fast as they can towards the Beatles, there's no one who is that kind of lightning rod, who commands that kind of power and has that kind of creative magma.
When I was a kid, I thought I was the strongest man in the world. Then, the fastest runner and then the smartest person in the world. One by one my delusions got shut down. Now I just see myself as the lamest guy in the world.
You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.
I don't have any real spirituality in my life - I'm kind of an atheist - but when music can take me to the highest heights, it's almost like a spiritual feeling. It fills that void for me.
I'd just like to be in films that I would like to see.
If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D.
Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.
I'm gonna drop fitty. I'm gonna drop fitty pounds. How many quarter-pounders with cheeses is that? I'm gonna drop 200 quarter-pounder with cheeses.
Let's face it, the great comedians now that are handicapped in the looks department are tremendous writers.
I think of myself as an entertainment arsenal. Like I have my acting bazooka and my music machete. And you don't know what I'm going to come at you with.
My parents were very supportive of me and my artistic endeavours. My father and mother came to every school play I ever did.
I've had so many hot, cheesy, corny loves of music in my life. I had a very intense Billy Joel period. So once you've really Joeled it up - there's some good periods of Joel; it's not all hot cheese. But I can't judge anyone else for their cheese. I've deep-sea dived in the Gouda.
We're in the dark ages if J-Lo can have a music career because of her ass. And let's face it, that's it.
When it's a bad movie you want to release it quietly. You try to keep it a secret like an STD.
The real challenge is if you don't look super sexy, like a Brad Pitt, you're going to have to try harder. You're going to have to make up for it in other ways.

COMMUNIQUE From the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church Held in Belgrade May 14-22,200926. May 2009 - 7:32
With the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Pavle and under the presidencyof His Eminence Metropolitan Amphilohije of Montenegro and the Coastlands, who, in accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church is serving as substitute to the ailing Patriarch, the regular Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church was held at the Patriarchate in Belgrade from May 14 through 22, 2009. Participating in the work of the Assembly were all the diocesan hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church, including His Beatitude Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skoplje Jovan with the hierarchs of the Autonomous Archdiocese of Ochrid.
Conscious of the Church's responsibility for the life and salvation of people and of the great spiritual challenges of our day, the Holy Assembly of Bishops dedicated itself to solving the vital questions of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Public Statement Issued by the Holy Synod of Bishops about the violence applied against Drug Addicts at the Crna Reka Monastery24. May 2009 - 13:56
With shock and sorrow the Holy Synod of Bishops has received news about the brutal violence which was applied against those afflicted with the illness of drug addiction at the Crna Reka Monastery of the Raska-Prizren Diocese. The pictures presented and the open recognition of a cleric of the Raska-Prizren Diocese are unmistakable evidence of a violence which is totally foreign to the spirit of the Gospel and mission of the Church, and which is absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, the Holy Synod of Bishops calls upon His Grace Bishop Artemije to disband immediately and without delay the illegal clinic for the treatment of the illness of addiction, and to undertake ecclesiastical court proceedings against his clerics who participated in the violence.
Communique of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the SPC on Tuesday, May 21, 200922. May 2009 - 20:20
The Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church, during its regular session on 21 May 2009, based on a recommendation of the Episcopal Council of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America, relative to the restructuring of the existing Dioceses in North and South America, rendered the following decision confirming the Constitution of the Serbian Orthodox Church in North and South America, according to which the Dioceses of our Church on that territory will be restructured:
One more in series of untruths21. May 2009 - 12:13
In the Skopje newspaper Vecher on May 19 was published an article of a journalist Marjan Nikolovski titled " The SOC should sit and negotiate with the MOC". In this text it is being stated that a visit of His Eminence Bishop Dr Marko of Berlin (the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia) and Reverend protopresbyter Nikolai Balashov , the Secretary of Inter-Orthodox Relations of the MP DECR to hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church on May 14 in Belgrade had as a goal to convey a message of His Holiness Patriarch Kyrill of Moscow and All Russia that the Serbian Orthodox Church should not elect a new head and "that in Belgrade tell them to bring a decision to begin talks with the Macedonian Orthodox Church".
None of these statements are truth. During talks among the members of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church and the delegation of the Russian Orthodox Church there was no single word on the themes that this journalist mentioned. Furthermore, it is impossible that one autocephaly Church brings any kind of requests or orders to other autocephaly Church. All talks between the Russian and the Serbian Church lead only to spirit of brotherly love and full mutual trust. The attempt of the Skopje journalist that the Moscow Patriarchate is presented to public as a "lawyer" of schismatic Church circles is in contradiction with the facts.
However, I agree with the position of Mr. Nikolovski that a dialogue presents a way for resolving all disputes, as well as the church related dispute in Macedonia.

Special communiqué of the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the SOC, Wednesday, May 20, 200920. May 2009 - 14:16
Regarding the news from Diocese of Rashka and Prizren that its Bishop, His Grace Dr Artemije , " does not give a blessing" for a visit of the US Vice President Joseph Biden to the Monastery of Visoki Dechani, the Holy Assembly of Bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church informs the public that it annuls this decision of Bishop Artemije and expresses regrets because of it. It is in contradiction with traditional Christian principles of hospitality, deeply rooted in the Serbian people, and especially in our monasteries.
The visit of the US Vice President is legitimate visit to states of this region, and among them, to Serbia; and the Assembly considers, no matter what are Biden personal or American general positions on a status of Kosovo and Metohija, that the decision of Mr. Biden to visit our greatest sanctuary in our south province, Monastery of Dechani, represents a gesture of good will and a clear message to those who would continue to destroy or convert Serbian churches and monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija.
Bishop Irinej of Bachka
Spokesman of the Holy Assembly of Bishops
of the Serbian Orthodox Church

Time to celebrate my journey, my snapshot of where I am now. When I first started to think about writing this post, I thought, "Man, I'm not at all where I want to be. I wish I had more time to beef up my online connections." But then I realized I shouldn't compare myself to anyone else, I should compare myself to me. This is meant to be me saying, "Yea! Look at me! Look how much I have done. No, I am not finished, I hope never to be finished! Look at what I have done in this short time."
So Yea me!
I recalled that I had taken a screenshot of my Twitter page for a blog post in the first course:
And look at me now:
Can I get a woot woot? It has been fun to step out of my comfort zone on social media and post more, comment more, and read more. I admit to being more intermittent about it than I'd like, but I get sucked in so easily to the wormhole that sometimes I just can't. Just today I was late to a meeting because I was reading posts and comments on #ISTEIntSch. Just got completely distracted and involved; and as much as I know I shouldn't, sometimes I just enjoy it so much! That is one of the chats I have been following, others are #AISQ8, and #africaed. I like them because they are small and slow. I have tried a few others but they are so fast I can hardly keep up. My colleagues and I thought about maybe having a little party for #satchat and having each of us try to read as much as we can and like/share/call out the items that meant something to us. Then debrief after. Whew!
One of my favorite connections that has happened with my PLN is that there is a group of us who are hoping to start an online CFG (Critical Friends Group.) Years ago I was lucky enough to be at a school that has them and I got trained as a facilitator and had a few years in schools with them. I miss them so much. One time on Twitter, I saw someone post something about their CFG. I mentioned how I longed to have one again. Some liked and agreed while others wanted to know more. The idea was born to host one online with a group of us who seemed interested.
It all started with this one tweet:
There was a LOT of conversation. This is just a tiny little glimpse:
It boiled down to 7 of us across 5 timezones and a 7 hour time spread who really wanted to see if we could make it work. We chatted on Twitter for a while and finally started a chat group
In the end we decided not to move forward just now. Although I am disappointed, I'm still excited because of the connections I made, the people I have as "friends" who I can call on for help. For instance, one of the guys who was interested even shared some resources to me from something he saw me tweet about.
Another way I have really made my PLN work for me is with people who I have worked with in some capacity in the past who I call on. Wendy from CoETaIL has been great with connecting about badging. My friend and former colleague, Lisa, is always there for me with ideas and connections. Carl is an amazing leader and wealth of knowledge. Today I reached out to Kelly who now works for SMART and is super when I need her. Not to mention Susan, Laura, Teresa, Patrick, Sara, Danieal, Bret… I could go on and on.
I feel so lucky that these are just a few examples of how my PLN has worked for me. I know I could have a larger PLN and my reach could be even farther, but I am happy with what I have achieved thus far and look forward to seeing how much further I can go. It's a lot for this online introvert/shy person to have done and I look forward to seeing it grow more and more.

A large-ratio stretcher for ultra-short pulses is proposed based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Through proper design of the PCF structure, we obtain over 300-nm wavelength range with flattened dispersion characteristics. Analysis indicates that 1-km of such fiber can broaden over 10,000 times for ultra-short pulses with <100-fs pulse-width. Distortion due to dispersion and nonlinearity is negligible.

supposing you got your girlfriend pregnant. and you still love her and you are still very much together. would you marry her right away or would you just continue the relationship even without the marriage factor?
Most Helpful Guy
We're in love anyway right? So it seems like a good time. But I'd go with what she wants too. She might not want being pregnant to seem like the reason. If she wasn't ready, I wouldn't try to rush it. Not trying to be negative, but not being married can lead to later problems over custody and visitation, if things didn't work out. And then the kid wonders why they had one parent and ended up being adopted later or something. If you're married you can add them to your medical insurance. Lot's of plus's and not many reasons not to, I think.11|00|0

Personal profile for Reenie B.
Referral Bonuses.
Interested in $100 or more to spend on styling services with Poplin? Each person you refer who becomes a client entitles you to a $100 credit with Poplin. The names of the women you've referred will be listed below for your reference. Thank YOU.
Style keywords
- Happy
- Confident
- Bold
- Effortless
Hourglass figure- Your hips and shoulders are the same width, while your waist is short and noticeably smaller than your hips. Naturally balanced.
Celebrities with your silhouette: Scarlett Johansson (5'3") Salma Hayek (5'2")
Style approach
Control your curves. Play them up or play them down and highlight your midsection. It should be your focal point. Elongate your frame by minimizing your curves.
- Tailored shirts or blazers (especially those made for larger busted women)
- Form fitted tops with darts
- Cinched, banded or belted blouses
- V-necks and open necklines
- Three quarter length sleeves
- Lower cut armholes- diagonal cut sleeves and flutter sleeves.
- Leave tops untucked to lengthen torso.
Avoid: Loose blouses that billow or flare from the bustling. Trapeze tops which add bulk.
Keep it classy. Your voluptuous figure offers enough sex appeal.
- Cropped trousers
- Slim fit bootleg cuts
- Wide leg pants that balance out your top half (wear with heels to keep it streamlined)
- Pant creases lengthen.
Avoid: short shorts. Mid calf length pants make legs look thicker.
- Pencil skirts
- Tulip skirts
- Maxi skirts
- Hemlines just above to just below the knee are flattering
Avoid: shorter hemlines and gathered raised or pleated skirts which add volume.
- Wrap dresses
- Fit and flare styles including A-line
- Belted options
- Sheath and tailored cuts
- Anything that highlights your waist.
- Color blocking with light or bright colors at your waist and darker colors overall.
- Well tailored options.
- Empire waist also lengthens your torso
Avoid: Drop waist and shapeless shifts which create a boxy look. Especially low cut dresses with a shorter skirt. Baggy options.
- Tailored blazers that button under the bustline
- To minimize the bustline:
- Solid jackets in neutral or deep colors
- Vertical or diagonal stripes or details
- Wrap styles and tailored jackets with darts
- Deep shawl collars
- Avoid: Baggy, untailored jackets
- As long as you are maintaining balance with your top half, you can wear most shoes.
- Belts are your best friends. Cinch them around the hips to lengthen your torso or at your waist to show off your midsection.
- Anything that highlights your midsection: contrasting skinny belts, bold wide belts, scarf at the waist.
- Bold accessories
Avoid: Accessories that throw off your natural balance. If wearing a bulky scarf, wear bold shoes.

A&O Training Contract
Starting a Training Contract with Allen & Overy is just the beginning of what will be a stimulating and rewarding legal career. Throughout the two years of your Training Contract, we will work closely with you to ensure you have the right support to develop into a successful commercial solicitor.
You do not need to complete a vacation scheme with us in order to secure a Training Contract, in fact around half of A&O's trainees did not undertake work experience with us before applying for a Training Contract.
The partners and associates you work with will make sure you are given variety and responsibility in your work. You will be expected to use your initiative, safe in the knowledge that you have a strong network of resources and support behind you.
The opportunities to apply for international and client secondments during the second year of training will allow you to experience the breadth of our work whilst ensuring you gain the depth of knowledge to help you make informed qualification choices.
We will help you become the most skilled, accomplished, business-focused lawyer you can be. Where your career takes you is then up to you.
A&O Training Contract
Your training will be based on four 6 month rotations (known as 'seats') through a number of departments or practice areas, where you will sit with a partner or an associate.
Soon after you start your Training Contract (where you will have had the chance to choose your first seat) you'll meet with our HR Manager for Trainees, to create a seat plan tailored to your interests and aspirations. In addition to choosing your seats, you'll discuss the length of individual seats, and explore the possibilities of international or client secondments. You'll also nominate a 'priority seat' which means you'll be guaranteed experience in a chosen department (subject to business need). Seats are available in all our practice areas, allowing trainees to experience the full range of work we do, with the priority seat system enabling you to spend time in an area that is of particular interest.
Our core transactional areas of expertise are Banking, Corporate and International Capital Markets, and as a trainee you will spend at least twelve months of your Training Contract gaining experience in at least two of these areas. Our trainees also need to gain contentious experience during their Training Contract which they do in our Litigation department. We now offer our trainees the option of completing a Litigation course to gain their contentious experience if they are sure their interests lie elsewhere.
The course is run by Nottingham Law School and consists of five days' tuition and regular visits to a legal advice centre throughout your Training Contract to gain practical contentious experience (and provide valuable pro bono help).
We currently offer 37 international seats in 21 of our offices and trainees usually apply for secondments for the final six months of their Training Contract.
International secondments are useful as they provide trainees with an awareness of cultural and regional differences, which is especially important as most of the work we do is cross-border and international.
We also offer a number of client secondments, which enable our trainees to better understand our clients' businesses, by working alongside them. These secondments normally take place in your final seat.
Alongside day-to-day work, we encourage our trainees to get involved with pro bono and community projects. As a trainee you could become involved in a number of initiatives such as giving free legal advice at the Battersea Legal Advice Centre evening surgery or working for organisations such as Interights. Last year, approximately 95% of our trainees got involved with one of our pro bono initiatives. Click here to find out more about our pro bono work.
The current salary for first year trainees is £42,000 rising to £47,000 in the second year of training. The current salary on qualification is £78,500.
Training and support
One of the things our trainees value most about being at Allen & Overy is the award-winning training they receive. In each seat, you will sit with a partner or associate who will provide you with support and guidance, and you will take an active and practical role in the department's work, with plenty of individual responsibility along the way.
In addition to learning practical skills such as drafting, transaction management, research and legal and office procedures, the experience you gain as a trainee will develop your professional conduct, particularly with respect to negotiation and communication with clients and colleagues.
Our impressive in-house training covers a broad range of legal, personal and business skills to help you develop, not just as a lawyer, but also as a business person. Personal development is highly valued at Allen & Overy, and we offer a wide range of formal and informal training, from lunchtime seminars on the latest legal update to a one-to-one IT training. Foreign language training is also available where there is a business need.
Alongside your departmental work, you will complete the Professional Skills Course, which consists of three compulsory modules: client care and professional standards, advocacy and communication skills, and financial and business skills; plus elective modules specific to our needs, such as financial economics, developing business relationships and negotiating a deal.
Another advantage of training at Allen & Overy is the opportunity to learn from some of the world's top lawyers. As well as regular departmental training and updates, trainees can attend client seminars delivered by our partners and associates.
Training does not stop on qualification. At key points during your associate career, you will become eligible to attend the different stages of our bespoke global associate development programme, where you will be joined by colleagues from around the world. These sessions are run by internal and external experts, focusing on developing your strategic and commercial awareness and your ability to work effectively and with resilience. As you progress, the focus on managing client relationships and building a practice increases.
Each year, individual practice groups run a 'university' focused on specific technical skills and knowledge, to which all newly qualified associates are invited. Our practice groups also hold regular training sessions to update your knowledge in the area in which you are working.
Application window
We are open for both Training Contract and Vacation Scheme applications between 1 October and 31 December 2016. We close for Winter Vacation Programme applications on 31 October 2016.
You can choose to either apply for a vacation scheme with us (during which you will be assessed for a Training Contract) or apply directly for a Training Contract. Please remember you can only apply once in any 12-month period for a Training Contract or a vacation scheme with us.
Please note that we will be interviewing on a first-come first-serve basis in this application window, so early applications are strongly advised.
When applying, you will be asked to state which year you will be available to start at Allen & Overy (in either March or September).
Please note that if you are studying or have studied a qualifying law degree in England and Wales, you will need to complete the Allen & Overy MA Legal Practice Course (LPC) with Business after graduation. This course lasts for seven months and starts in either July or January, enabling you to commence employment at A&O in March or September, respectively. If you are unsure whether your degree falls into this category, please contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) for clarification.
If you have not studied a qualifying law degree, then you will need to complete the Graduate Diploma in Law (12 months long) before taking the Allen & Overy MA Legal Practice Course (LPC) with Business described above.
Trainee view
Chris Cobb
Studied Pharmacology and completed a PhD at The University of Manchester.
During the course of my PhD I reached a point where I'd run out of love for the lab, so I decided to research careers outside of my field and considered where I could use the skills I'd developed. I was attracted to law as an opportunity to apply my research skills to a complex and evolving career. I attended a number of law fair presentations and found out quickly that I could relate to the people I met from A&O – they spoke with passion and also seemed to really enjoy the work.
I think what impressed me most when I first started as a trainee was the sense that I was working with people performing at the highest level. There's also an appetite to ask questions and to keep finding ways of doing things better; ideas are welcomed no matter what level they come from and so even as a trainee, I know that I can contribute. A&O doesn't have a hierarchical environment, and so it's really easy to speak with partners and learn from them.
I'm currently sat in corporate M&A, which is my third seat. I've really enjoyed the involvement I've had with the clients, from small private companies to large listed companies, and I now have a much better understanding of how a number of different businesses operate. I started my training contract in banking and then moved into intellectual property litigation in my second seat. The breadth of experience has been fantastic and has given me such a great insight into different areas of both the law and A&O.
I've received a lot of support from the firm throughout my training. The culture is very open, people across the business are approachable so you can always ask questions – even the ones you think have an obvious answer! – and pick up the phone to someone who can help. There's a lot of online know-how you can access too, for example, I was recently given the task of putting together the first draft of an asset purchase agreement. I was able to find examples of how to structure the document and advice on when you might include certain provisions based on the client's business. It means you're rarely starting from scratch and it's then down to using your judgement and knowledge of the deal to include the relevant information. As a trainee these resources are invaluable and it means that you can take advantage of the firm's experience and try to reach a solution independently before discussing with your trainer.
Some of the most challenging work I've done so far was in litigation. I had to get up to speed with a complex matter very quickly and understand the fine points of law so that I could prepare for a hearing in a pharmaceutical patent case. I was involved in drafting and collating documentation which would go before the judge, liaising with solicitors for the other party and assisting counsel in their preparations. It was really great to be in the hearing and see the pieces come together.
As a trainee you are usually working on several matters simultaneously so you need to be confident in your prioritisation and organisational skills. A key part of the training process is analysing the changes people have made to your drafting and, for your own development, understanding why those changes have been made. Trainers and associates are always happy to discuss these, which makes the learning process a lot easier.
The best advice I can offer is to make the most of the skills you have picked up along the way but also try to develop new ones, particularly in areas that will make you stand out. Taking on roles that involve co-ordinating a team or organising an event is a great starting point and will pay dividends as a trainee, and beyond.

I have a friend who is recently separated from his wife of 11 years. He has known her for half of his life, so the separation was equal parts necessity and shocking, the latter if for no other reason than the longevity of the relationship in one form or another.
He took to online dating in his mid 40s in the hopes of avoiding a potential fix up or trying to determine just how feasible the so called "bar scene" can be when you're not 20 something and perfectly find staying out until all hours of the night.
Thus far, after just a few weeks, he's really started to enjoy just how the online dating and meeting process works. He's getting emails from potential women, and he's even talked to a few on the phone and had one in person encounter.
His excitement, however, often is tempered with skepticism that appears sporadically when a profile or online description seems too good to be true. He'll look at someone's photo and often assume it has been airbrushed or doctored, and their likes and dislikes, job and interests, seem like something you'd fabricate to put that proverbial best foot forward.
Online dating, for all its pluses, has one big minus that hangs over its head: validity. Users tend to do one of two things, ironically at the opposite end of the online dating spectrum. They'll believe everything they see or read or they'll question 100%. In both cases, that's not exactly how you want to start a relationship or even a foray into one.

If you're shopping online on Amazon, eBay or similar stores, this short guide will help you do it smarter and save money. Sometimes you can get up to 70% off certain items.
A store like Amazon for example has two types of sellers. Either Amazon is the one selling your products or other sellers. In some products, the number other sellers might be a huge. But, how do can you compare the options from different sellers to find the best (and cheapest!) one for you? That's a challenge.
This has brought a new category of price comparison websites (examples at the bottom or by clicking the Get Deals buttons on this page). The biggest advantage of these websites? They compare the product across all sellers in one comfortable view. You can compare, filter, sort and decide. This is the way to save money online.
These websites pull all the product offerings from all sellers and present them in one page. These sites have filtering options and the ability to sort by price. They break down each product to all of it's sellers. Once you find an interesting option you can click it.
Sometimes you'll see a different price when you get to the store website, but on the right below the add to cart you'll be able to click the option of more sellers. On Amazon this is called "Other Sellers on Amazon". Or just click Used & new where you'll see all other options in a variety of prices. There you can locate the option you found on the price comparison website.
One option of a price comparison website is ShopWiz.com (Click Here to open it in a new window) – it's a good way to start your shopping and browse all options across dozens of stores. In these type of websites you just search the item you want and get a comparison across dozens of stores. Make sure you use the sorting and filtering options to find the best option.

if noticed on here when people refer to girls underwear they say bras and underwear. I feel that I am the odd ball and just calls them panties. Or I'll say bra and thong or whatever I'm referring to. Which way is more right: bras and underwear or bras and panties?
Most Helpful Girl
doesn't really matter. either can be said. I usually say underwear though because something about the word panties just sounds so naughty ;)00|00|0

Series: Law and Sustainable Development Series
By: E Brubaker
Over the last two hundred years, property rights in countries with legal systems going back to English common law have been eroded, and hand in hand with that erosion has gone increasing environmental degradation - as industry in particular has been permitted to pollute with the collusion of governments. This book draws on cases from England, Canada, and the US, showing how the law of property - including trespass, nuisance and riparian law - has been a force for environmental protection, whereas contemporary statutes and regulations have allowed private land and public resources to be fouled.

U.S. Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin today announced that the Senate passed legislation last night to help prevent future pipeline disasters like Enbridge from occurring. The Pipeline Transportation Safety Improvement Act of 2011 gives the Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration the ability to increase the level of safety in our nation's pipeline networks.
"The Kalamazoo River oil spill was a tragedy for Calhoun County and communities across Southwest Michigan," said Stabenow. "This legislation will help improve the safety of the Enbridge pipeline and all pipelines that run through Michigan, keeping our communities and families safer from future preventable accidents."
"The need for this legislation was made all too clear with last year's oil spill in the Kalamazoo River, and I am pleased the Senate has passed it," said Levin, D-Mich. "The bill will improve the safety and security of pipelines across the nation, including those that run through Michigan, helping to protect against further incidents like the Enbridge spill."
The legislation contains numerous provisions to increase the level of safety in our nation's pipeline networks including more stringent safety standards and requirements such as time limits on accident and leak notification by pipeline operators to local and state government officials and installation of automatic or remote-controlled shut-off valves on new transmission pipelines. The bill will also authorize additional pipeline inspectors and safety support employees and increase transparency of pipeline information, inspections and standards. Finally, the legislation increases the cap on civil penalties for violators of pipeline regulations and adds civil penalties for obstructing investigations.
The legislation must now be considered by the House of Representatives where similar legislation has been introduced by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich.

The 20 Hottest WNBA PlayersMay 24, 2012
The 20 Hottest WNBA Players
Since it's founding in 1996, the Women's National Basketball Association has seen some of the most ferocious and driven athletes on Earth grace its hardwood.
And while most are quite talented on the court, only a few of these female ballers truly garner similar respect in beauty salons. Some exude voluptuous toughness, others delicate cuteness. But all are yearning for that top spot.
Let's take a look at the hottest WNBA players currently prancing about the hardwood who naturally attract every nearby camera.
Don't be fooled by the seductive smile, these ladies are clawing for victory.
20. Swin Cash
Like her green-billed surname, Swin Cash has been money since first discovering a basketball. She's all about winning.
After leading her UConn squad to national titles in 2000 and 2002, Cash led the Detroit Shock to their first WNBA title in only her second professional season.
Her smile has only broadened with every trophy.
19. Taylor Lilley
She was cut during the 2011 preseason and was last seen working as an assistant at The Master's College, but we believe Taylor Lilley is primed for a comeback.
Holding the Oregon single-season record for three-point shooting percentage (50.6) certainly helps, but attracting the camera is her best bet.
18. Jennifer Lacy
With her father having played Major League baseball, Tulsa Shock forward Jennifer Lacy clearly has the genetics to thrive. And with visions of attending law school after the pros, we respect her brilliance.
But Julia Roberts as her favorite actress? Not sure about that.
17. Sidney Spencer
After leading the Tennessee Vols to a national championship in 2007, Sidney Spencer found herself on a fast road to prosperity.
But the lanky former second-round pick was recently waived by the Connecticut Sun.
16. Lauren Jackson
After getting called up to the Australian national team (the Opals) when she was only 16, it was clear Lauren Jackson was something special.
And the Seattle Storm clearly agreed, eventually choosing the 6'5" paint presence with the first pick of the 2001 draft. Dominance was officially introduced to the hardwood.
But away from the court is where she's perhaps most deadly.
15. Diana Taurasi
Even in the heat of the moment, Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi has time to smile for the camera.
She's got three NCAA National Championships (2002-2004), one WNBA MVP award and five All-Star appearances under her belt. But we're still far more focused on her friendly nature.
14. Renee Montgomery
Few states can match the individual love that Connecticut feels for Renee Montgomery (we can only assume).
After winning a championship with the Huskies, Montgomery entered the draft undoubtedly hoping for a miracle.
She was drafted fourth overall in the 2009 draft by the Minnesota Lynx, but then traded to the Connecticut Sun a year later.
Something like home for this West Virginia-born baller.
13. Briann January
This Indiana Fever point guard has the flair to dominate the professional hardwood.
She was the sixth pick of the 2009 draft, and eventually earned the starting point guard spot during her rookie season.
Briann January remains a budding star.
12. Maya Moore
Not only did she secure the John Wooden Award after leading UConn to an undefeated national championship in 2009, but Maya Moore led her squad to another title the following season.
Becoming the first female basketball player to sign with Air Jordan, however, is what truly sparked Moore's legacy.
11. Maria Stepanova
Russian sensation Maria Stepanova may sound more like a modeling tennis player, but she's got the height to dominate the hardwood...and shock the world.
Not only is she the fourth-tallest player in the league at nearly 6'8", but Stepanova requires a size 15 shoe.
All stellar qualities.
10. Sue Bird
No, she's not related to Larry Bird.
Since being chosen with the first-overall pick of the 2002 WNBA draft, Sue Bird has made seven All-Star appearances and continued to shock the world with her subtle yet jubilant approach.
Behind that melancholy pout is one of seven women to win an Olympic gold medal, an NCAA championship and a WNBA championship.
9. Asjha Jones
2002 was a good year for UConn prospects, that much is certain.
But prolific forward Asjha Jones was in a league of her own. On the court, she made two All-Star appearances.
8. Candice Wiggins
The Pac-10 Conference's all-time leading women's basketball scorer, Minnesota Lynx guard Candice Wiggins does more than break opponents' ankles on the court.
That brilliant smile gets the crowd going. But not as much as "Ice Ice, Baby" does when she scores at the Target Center.
7. Penny Taylor
Leading the Australian national team to a gold medal at the 2006 World Championships and winning MVP honors are perhaps the most notable accolades on Penny Taylor's resume.
But Phoenix Mercury fans believe there's more behind the dominance. We agree.
6. Cappie Pondexter
A crafty veteran on the professional hardwood, Liberty guard Cappie Pondexter evidently knows exactly what it takes to dominate.
A ridiculous baby crossover and sweet shot have been perfectly coated with a glistening exterior.
The four-time All-Star continues to creep up on greatness.
5. Brittany Jackson
It's only natural that beautiful baller Brittany Jackson plays for the Atlanta Dream.
But while failing to make a WNBA team in her first three seasons following college, Jackson remained relevant because of her stage presence.
Hey, whatever pays the bills.
4. Leilani Mitchell
New York Liberty guard Leilani Mitchell, who has spent her entire five-season career with the team, has Filipino, Malaysian, Singaporean and Indian blood from her mother's side, according to the University of Idaho website.
Since winning the league's Most Improved Player award in 2010, Mitchell has done little to escape the spotlight.
3. Sandrine Gruda
This French baller is quietly rising the ranks of prosperity as she dribbles across fans' hearts.
While she plays center for the Connecticut Sun, Sandrine Gruda (sounds like a moldy cheese) is known best as the 2009 FIBA Europe Player of the Year.
But she's beginning to garner attention as an elegant WNBA knockout.
2. Candace Parker
We might as well call NBA guard Anthony Parker's younger sister Air Parker, considering she was the first woman to dunk in a NCAA tournament game.
Somewhere behind that stunning visage is a focused baller, always ready to amaze her crowd.
1. Becky Hammon
Something about this name hints at soccer, but Becky Hammon is most certainly that beautiful guard on the San Antonio Silver Stars.
While six All-Star nods detail her illustrious career on the hardwood, only this smile can illustrate her confidence away from it.


text: Hello fellow pilots, I have an interesting question regarding the last FW update for the batteries. Many of my clients and I live in a year round warm climate and are asking if it is necessary to update due to not living in a cold environment. There are reports after updating that there has been a slow down in performance. I have not seen any info or links within the forums regarding this. If there is please point me to the link or links. I myself as a DJI Tech, have not been able to test and to see the difference myself as our weather in our area has been brutal due to high winds since the v.40 was released. My thought is that only when temperature is below a certain point will the actual battery update take affect and then decrease performance or does it change the performance at any temperature from the start. Thanks for your support as always, Blue Bird..

There's a global suppression of women and girls, and if we are to live in a civilized world, it has to stop. It's found everywhere from Pakistani tribal areas, where a father felt free to bury his daughter alive because some boys looked at her, to the highest levels of some prestigious colleges and corporations, where all leaders are male, and women are considered not capable of responsibility.
Females are nearly universally considered less important, less valuable. Both the Bible and the Koran say that a woman is worth half what a man is worth.
Both the Bible and the Koran say that
a woman is worth half what a man is worth.
The recent case of public rape and murder by four young men in India caused worldwide outrage that continued even after they were tried and sentenced to death. It indicates that the treatment of women everywhere is far from enlightened. It is clear that men, some men, in all parts of the world assume that any woman is theirs for the taking, a disposable commodity. Where do these young men come from? Why do they develop this barbaric attitude toward females?
The pickup-truck culture, ubiquitous in our South and other rural parts of the US, recently gave rise to a popular decal for the tailgate depicting a bound and gagged woman who appears to be held captive on the bed of the truck. Unfortunately, this is not even original. There have been numerous such decals, all of them depicting bound and gagged women, sometimes with a smirking male looking back at them. The clear message is that women are equivalent to livestock, to be forcibly controlled and used or abused as wanted.
One clear message is that women
are equivalent to livestock.
Involuntary prostitution is far too prominent, and poverty is a common cause. A third world father sells a daughter into prostitution, believing her earnings will help his bad situation. Young women are tricked into believing they will have legitimate jobs overseas. Runaway teens are trapped by bad choices. Women become addicted and trapped. We see these kinds of cases even here in San Francisco.
Globally, girl babies are often seen as an unwanted burden, while boys are desirable and pampered. Authorities in a number of countries have outlawed fetal sex selection, and in some cases have made sex-determining ultrasound illegal. This has not entirely stopped either practice, and a generation of Chinese boys has come of age with no available marriage partners, sometimes solved by shady operations that kidnap women for these men to purchase them.
Because of the preference for males,
a generation of Chinese boys has come of age
with no available marriage partners.
Cultures in several parts of the world manage girls like farm animals or beasts of burden. They are kept out of school and given heavy workloads from an early age. Muslim radicals have thrown acid on girls who have dared to go to school. Women performing humanitarian tasks or teaching have been murdered by men, as have female professionals.
Honor killings are not uncommon, even in the US, although they are illegal everywhere. In many such cases, a woman is the victim of rape. This is assumed to be her fault, in spite of the obvious stupidity of such a view, and a male member of her family is assigned to murder her in order to restore family honor. In India, "bride burning" is illegal, but occurs anyway. A newly wed woman displeases the husband's family, usually for some bogus reason regarding money. The males of her new family arrange for a kitchen fire in which she perishes. Suttee, the involuntary burning of a wife on her husband's funeral pyre, is also illegal, but happens.
Family murder of women and girls persists.
Forced marriage of very young girls persists.
Clitorectomy continues to be practiced, for reasons that make no sense, and sexually cripples young girls for the rest of their lives. More than a few lives are lost to infections. In a few places, doctors have curtailed the practice by performing a minimal cutting under hospital conditions that seems to satisfy social requirements. It beats a brutal butchering with a dirty knife, but doesn't change the underlying attitudes and practices.
The practice of forced marriage continues. In a recent case a very young girl was sold into marriage to a man six times her age, who killed her by seizing his "marriage rights". Fortunately, the trend is toward laws establishing a marriageable age for girls, which also is sometimes ignored.
However, an arranged marriage for a young couple can be benevolent if it is not coerced and they are of marriageable age. It should be practiced more often by modern Americans. Dating, love, and marriage tends to be a hit or miss enterprise in the US. Couples find themselves stuck together by accident, too often with regrettable results. Cooler heads are often better able to consider the virtues of potential mates, who are then introduced to each other, and nature allowed to take its course, whatever that course might be. In a country where over half of marriages end in divorce, this surely would be an improvement.
A well-funded social program
can halt fetal injury and child abuse
in the next generation.
In the west we like to flatter ourselves that we are better than such barbarisms as the "morals police" in Iran, male gangs that roam around looking for women to beat up because a strand of hair is showing, or any made-up excuse. But we have our equivalents in abuse of females, of wives, girlfriends, mothers, and children by men whose anger is out of control, or who believe that it is their right to hit females. There is a great need for safe houses for women everywhere.
Some of this abusive behavior could be permanently ended by well-funded social programs that teach pregnant women about the terrible consequences of drugs and alcohol on their babies, and teach young parents how to deal with the difficulties that arise with a new baby in the house, and how to rear and avoid abusing their children. If this were the case, the payoff would arrive only when that baby became a healthy, normal adult who treats others with respect. This person's development might otherwise have been retarded from serious fetal injury, then child abuse and failure in school, which most often leads to a life of crime and abusive behavior. This lengthy correction for the sake of all future generations is known to be effective, and certainly cost-effective, and trying to change an adult who was seriously injured in the womb is not.
In some places, particularly poor places where public education is not free, families cannot afford to send all their children to school, so they choose one child, almost always the oldest male. He may be a lazy dolt, and his sister the ambition and brains of the family, but he is always the one chosen. Even in the West, people often limit education for the girls of the family on the grounds that they are to become wives and mothers and won't need it. A 2013 pamphlet and website for the Catholic church advises that women should not be sent to college for that reason, an attitude often echoed by fundamentalist Protestant preachers. Keep 'em barefoot and pregnant, the old "joke" goes.
The recent circus of ill-educated
sexist Republican congressional men
leads me to wonder why there are
any Republican women at all.
Another worldwide tragedy that has been inadequately addressed is deaths from childbirth, which is partially a result of devaluing women and their needs. There are 800 such deaths daily, almost all in Third World nations where hospitals are poorly equipped and far away. Even in the US and UK, however, maternal deaths have increased sharply in the past decade. When the mother survives in Third World settings, it is sometimes with injury such as fistula, which, without surgery, causes her to leak body waste, turning her into a social outcast.
The recent circus of ill-educated sexist Republican congressional men with medieval, barbaric attitudes toward women and almost no understanding of basic reproduction and the needs of women—let alone science—leads me to wonder why there are any Republican women at all. At the very least, these men could use a good junior high sex education course, and preferably an extensive period of attitude adjustment taught by knowledgeable women who aren't about to take any crap.
It's not that the world has made no progress toward respecting the lives of females. We have (see this report), and in many cases it's very significant. But there are also continuously arriving cohorts of newly adult male yahoos who have somehow failed to understand that women are also part of humankind, and are not put on Earth for their amusement and abuse. The job of teaching these young males acceptable behavior will never end.
All of the ill treatment of females is the product of stupidity and cultural barbarism. Too many males, and even some females, assume an inferiority of females that is obviously not true. Women are smaller than men on average, but are no less intelligent or capable of achievement. Moreover, most of the problems of the world are caused by men, hardly a mark of success or superiority.

How can my husband get paid for being POA if the money is all going to the nursing home?
My husband has been POA for his aunt for about three years now. In the paperwork it states he is entitled to payment for his services. His aunt has now used all of her assets to pay for her nursing home care and is needing to go on Illinois public aide. We have been told two different things: One that he is in fact entitled to payment, and two, that because she still has outstanding bills to the nursing home and that she is needing to go onto public assistance then he is not entitled to payment. We don't know what to do.
Expert Answers
Confusingly, both things may be true.
An agent in a power of attorney that expressly allows for compensation is entitled to get it. And in practical effect, once a person's care is funded by Medi-caid, it often becomes unnecessary for the agent to do much work. In many cases, the nursing home takes over and is then required to manage finances and provide an accounting to those interested.
You might get the best hands-on advice from the regional ombudsman""the person charged with advocated for residents and their families in the long-term care system. You can find the local ombudsman through the website run by the Illinois Department on Aging at www.state.il.us/aging/1abuselegal/ombuds.htm.
