Skip to comments.Right to be forgotten ruling is backfiring, says Data watchdog (European Union ruling)
Posted on 07/24/2014 8:38:00 PM PDT by Olog-hai
Googles interpretation of the European Court of Justices right to be forgotten ruling is prejudicing the intention of the court, the States data protection watchdog said yesterday, as regulators and search engine giants met in Brussels to discuss the matter.
Billy Hawkes, who will shortly retire as Irelands Data Protection Commissioner, described the ruling as a very difficult decision by the European Court of Justice.
The ruling, made in May, has effectively exposed Google to criticism both for removing links and for refusing requests for links to be removed.
(Excerpt) Read more at irishtimes.com ...
I went to the source 'The Irish Times' and found dominating the middle of the page is a big portrait and story of Sinéad O'Connor. Right under Sinéad O'Connor, there's a story about how badly Israel is treating HAMAS.
LOL, with the Irish, you can judge by the cover.
The IT is the main pro-EU paper. Originally it was known as the "Protestant paper".
Of course they'd attack Google for looking at the EU ruling and seeing what it allows and doesn't allow.
The way the ruling stands right now, it's as if O.J. Simpson could petition to have every reference to his ordeals since the murder of his ex-wife stricken from memory, and every digital journal accessible to the EU via Internet would be bound to comply.
Meanwhile, 'privacy advocates' in the EU celebrate the ruling as being able to 'un-Tweet' anything offensive they may have said in youthful indiscretion.
That's my own interpretation. Maybe I'm off-base.

Discussion in 'Nintendo Wii Chat' started by Wiisoccer1, Feb 7, 2008.
i read that there is that would be really cool it we could get some new songs........
Yes, I've read it would be cool as well? Nothing like that exists for the Wii to date.
i hope so the songs just get old after awhile........
Not on the Wii my friends, other consoles, yes...but Wii, no.
Hey do you guys know that you can download any song you want form the pc? if you look on the eadg(sorry if not spell right) of your guitar there is a plug in you can plug a cord from the pc to it.
I don't mean to shut you down, well maybe a little but ill be nice about it as i could be wrong, but i don't think that plug (looks like a phone outlet) can be used to connect to a pc (you probably could connect it to the modem input on the pc but I doubt it'll function properly). I heard that this plug is meant for future upgrades, like effects pedals and things. I think it even says that in the manual.
Also I heard we'll be getting DLC sometime soon (During Q1, which I believe ends sometime in March). But I really cannot wait to see my Wii light up telling me I can finally download songs for it. I'm actually saving 2000 wii points so I can get them all!
there bringing it out..be patient
what i believe is that when they release the Everyone's Nintendo Channel they'll release DLC for GH3
I don't think ENC will have anything to do with GH3. Downloadable content will have to be made through the game itself. Now...whether it will download to the Wii or to the game, I'm not sure. I've never heard of something being downloaded to a game before, so unfortunately, its probably going to take up space on the Wiis memory.
ENC sounds like Xbox's Marketplace, download DS demos, watch Wii previews.
I mean how else would they allow GH3 DLC, they can't update the game through the Wii
Hey, I know I'm new around here, but I am dying to download some new songs for GH III, anybody heard anything recently?
Believe me, u don't have problems!! I can't even find GH in Greece!! Is it released already in Europe? Does anybody know?
well from the looks of peopls replys we will be gettin something for new songs....... i really hope we do
Alls I know is they better hurry up because I'm almost done with that game.
I've seen articles around saying they want to put DLC for GH3 on the Wii, but I don't think any concrete plans have been laid out. I'm guessing if it ever does happen, it will be sometime in Q3 at the earliest.
Trying to find a GH3 is hard enough... LOL
Old article but WTF haha. I found this trying to find an answer to your question
LOL! Yeah there was a terrible-written law about the gabling slot machines, which killed the arcades in Greece! But they've never prohibited the consoles or Internet cafes! What the hell!!
they prlly well come out wit somethin.........
Wrong, Activision announced Wii GH3 DLC Q1 2008

Pebble Sight Words Game
Today we tried a new game which focuses on sight words which we called the Pebble Sight Words Game.
For each player to engage in reading while playing and enjoying a game in which he/she places all of his pebbles on the sight words.
Materials Required:
- Sight word cards (we used 8 cards as we were focusing on these eight words)
- Pebbles for each child (in this case we used 16 pebbles for each child).
How to Play Pebble Sight Words
Introduce the sight words in a fun way. For example, hide words behind your back and bring out different words at different times for children to read. Play the game up a bit so that everyone is enjoying it - pull out cards upside down, or the same card twice, etc.
- Swap roles. Encourage children to take on the role of the caller. This is another way to get children reading while still playing the game.
- The boys made their own alteration to the game. The pretend their favourite soft-toys (well, their favourites for that day) played on their behalf. The pretend play with teddies and puppets, added a new dimension which captured the boys' interest.
Give each child the same number of pebbles.
Players take turns.
The caller (the adult) calls out one of the words and the first player attempts to read the word. If the word is read correctly, the player places one of his/her pebbles on the word. If the word is read incorrectly, the player's turn finishes.
The caller then reads out the next word for the next player.
Play continues until the one of the players has deposited all of his/her pebbles on the words.
Extensions for Pebble Sight Words
Sight word games are great for encouraging children to learn new words while playing a game ... and having fun!
At the end of the game, David decided to make pictures out of the pebbles. He created an arrow and a flower.
The games children develop on their own also have great value ... and they're heaps of fun.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 One Day readers? Hold on to your overly stylish hats constructed by a local, earth-friendly haberdasher. Paris Hilton told the truth about something! In a crazy, mind-bending turn of events, Paris appeared in court today and told the judge that she had lied to Vegas police officers when she was arrested a few weeks ago. Paris was caught with a baggy of blow in her purse, and claimed the handbag belonged to "a friend"—though as everyone knows, Paris has no friends (except those she purchases on Russian websites). This is probably why she ended up confessing to the judge that it was her purse, and so the coke charge was dropped in exchange for P.Hil's guilty plea to misdemeanor charges of drug possession and obstruction of an officer. However, Paris must stay out of legal trouble for a year, or face time in a Las Vegas jail. "You have to understand when you break the law here, there are consequences," Judge Obvious Judy said. "The Clark County Detention Center is not the Waldorf Astoria." Ummm... excuse us? Both have room service! MEANWHILE... Our little Lindsay Lohan also has a date with a judge this week, and could be in DEEP DOO-DOO for failing a recent drug test, thereby violating her parole. For her crimes against sobriety, LiLo could be sent back to the hoosegow as soon as Friday—and her allegedly drunken twatting isn't helping matters! Last Tuesday Lindsay confessed to backsliding via Twatter, twatting, "I'm taking responsibility for my actions and am prepared to face the consequences." But Us magazine reports that witnesses saw her constructing the twats with the help of her friends and assistant while knocking back Jack and Cokes (the liquid kind.) Ah-HAH! We knew something was up with that particular twat! Everything was spelled correctly and there were no "LOLs"!
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 In yet another depressing turn of events, the Senate went belly up today trying to repeal the clearly homophobic "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that bars gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. The bill hit an immovable wall of bullshit when every senate Republican (and a few Democrats) voted against the repeal, thereby killing it where it stood. And it should be noted that there wasn't a lot of help from the White House either. While President Obama is supposedly against DADT (being such a "fierce advocate" for gay rights and all), his Justice Department also asked a federal judge to keep the policy in place as it is—as an abrupt interruption in DADT could imperil "military readiness, cohesion, recruitment, retention and religious freedom." It could also interrupt their "discriminatory practices, and the continuing fight for everyone's freedom"—but we guess they forgot that part.
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 Speaking of violating the freedom of the individual, guess who violated our right to see singer Katy Perry's jugs? Sesame Street! After numerous complaints from stick-in-the-mud parents when it was previewed on YouTube, Sesame Street has pulled a segment of Perry and that really annoying red puppet Elmo singing a toned-down version of her hit "Hot N Cold." Apparently Perry's low-cut, cleavage-bearing dress was too much for certain puritanical parents to bear—which is a shame because without the distraction of Katy's breasts, we're forced to focus on her singing, and... okay, maybe it's a good thing they took it down. Three cheers for censorship!
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 Today in "Uhhh... Gross!": Star magazine still insists that actor Ashton Kutcher has been screwing around on wifey Demi Moore—and supposedly has the sexy texts to prove it! Twenty-one-year-old Brittney "Of Course That's Her Name" Jones claims that she and Kutchie met at a bowling alley, and only hours later were suggestively texting each other things like "what are u wearing now?" (Umm... GROSS.) It finally culminated, according to Brittney, with "wild sex on the family couch," and the sexting allegedly went on for another month. Again? GROSS!! (Hmmm... we wonder if that's why our grandmother always covered her furniture in plastic. AHHH!! GROSS!!) MEANWHILE... It's certainly one thing to be dissed by a judge (see Monday), but when an entire country disses Paris Hilton? Well, that's just too much! According to TMZ, Paris tried to fly into Japan but was detained at the airport for hours and later ejected from the country for recently pleading guilty to the possession of drugs. (See where "honesty" gets you?) Says a huffy Paris publicist, "[Hilton] was delayed by immigration authorities... Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn't want to let down her brands and many Asian fans." (Note: Remember what we said about Paris not having any friends? She doesn't have any fans, either.)
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 Well, that didn't last long. Lindsay Lohan is back in the pokey! "She was shocked when the judge remanded her into custody," reports TMZ, who also snapped pics as LiLo was handcuffed, covered in a blanket, and spirited away in a sheriff's car. Apparently, Linds' failing of a drug test last week (cocaine and Adderall, just in case you were wondering) rubbed Judge Elden Fox the wrong way, and he refused to grant LiLo bail. Now behind bars for the third time in three years, Lindsay could be in jail until October 22. Here's hoping that over the next 28 days, Linds learns something—that actions have consequences, that celebrities don't get special treatment, and that sometimes, there's just no way to avoid doing hard time.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 Well, that didn't last long. Lindsay Lohan is back on the streets! (Presumably, she's cokin' and Adderallin' it up all over LA, giggling maniacally as she eggs and/or toilet papers Judge Elden Fox's house.) "Actress Lindsay Lohan was freed from jail late on Friday night after spending around 15 hours behind bars," Reuters wearily reports. Judge Patricia Schnegg reversed Judge Fox's decision, noting that Lindsay should've been given bail; shortly thereafter, Lindsay's trusty bondsman David Perez put up the $300,000, and now LiLo's on the loose. Lock up your children and say off the roads, Los Angelinos! But don't think Linds totally got off the hook—remember that SCRAM bracelet she had to wear last time? The one that caught the light just so when she tipped back drink after drink? Well, she's wearing one again! "She hates that fucking thing," a friend tells TMZ. Awww.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 Just to bring this week full circle: Today the not-so-cherished British tabloid News of the World published photos from 2007 featuring Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton canoodling (gasp!) and shooting heroin (zzzzz!). "The Hollywood hellraiser appears to play with the tip of the drugs needle—and then plays with heiress chum Paris," the News gushes. "The pair paw at each other before Paris straddles Lindsay and strokes her face. Lohan, revealing a bra strap and cleavage, then wraps her arms around the neck of Paris." For the record, Hubby Kip would like to make it known that he's "pretty open-minded when it comes to drugs and stuff, just in case Lindsay and Paris want to come over and celebrate Lindsay's freedom or whatever." MEANWHILE... The man who owns the Segway company died in a freak accident today... by driving his Segway off a cliff. Multimillionaire Jimi Heselden, 62, purchased the Segway company last December, went out for a Segway ride this morning, and then ended up at the bottom of a 30-foot cliff. A well-liked philanthropist, Heselden will, sadly, be remembered as the guy who bought a company that makes an incredibly stupid product, and also as the guy who died on an incredibly stupid product. For the record, Hubby Kip would like it to be known that he would "still totally ride a Segway." IN RELATED NEWS... After that comment he made about Paris and Lindsay, we're considering getting him one... provided he goes for a lot of rides near crumbling cliffs.

Sigrid Olsen entered the fashion world through textiles and weaving. In fact, the caption with her eightgrade yearbook photo predicted she would one day become a textile designer. She attributes her early interest in textiles and art to both her parents. Her Italian-born mother collected fabrics from all over the world. Her father is a landscape and portrait painter and has a gallery in the same building in Gloucester, Mass. that houses his daughter's design studio.
Following Olsen's graduation from Montserrat College in Massachusetts, she began her career as a weaver. Inspired by her experience with brilliant colors and distinctive patterns, she developed a signature printing technique emphasizing nature's inherent beauty into a small textile business. Discovering natural artistry had broad appeal, she founded the brand that bears her name in 1984, focusing on knitwear featuring her trademark prints. Olsen has since broadened the scope of her designs from casual resort wear to a lifestyle collection of year-round sportswear, knit accessories, handbags, jewelry, footwear, bed, bath and table linens (called SO Home) and since 2006 an ophthalmic and sunwear license with California-based Altair Eyewear. Olsen also has 54 stores nationwide, including her flagship store, which opened in New York's SoHo in 2006.
Whatever product she is designing, Olsen adheres to the same philosophy—simple, modern design with a twist of color. "I like to add some little detail that stands out, such as layers of color in the eyewear," she notes. "I want my training as an artist to come through in my designs. I like a modern look—a look of relaxed femininity— nothing too over the top," Olsen says. "I design for today's women. We lead complex lives. Living with beauty should be simple."
Olsen sees herself as her typical customer. "I epitomize my customer base, women between 30 and 70, but more specifically Baby Boomers aged 42 to 60," the designer says. My customer is someone looking to feel young, but dresses appropriately with flattering colors and fun, whimsical details. I try to interpret current fashion trends to suit women of all ages and sizes. It's important to listen and adapt to the marketplace and give our customers what they want that we can provide. My customers want clothing and accessories that are relevant to their lifestyle and are comfortable, but polished, for at home and in the office."
It's important in fashion to know what looks good on you, Olsen emphasizes. "Style is a personalized way of viewing the world. It's what you select to have around you to make a harmonious statement."
When choosing licensing partners, the company is very selective, the designer says. "Licensing agreements depend on relationships. I like the people at Altair Eyewear. They are nice, professional people, who have the same service-oriented attitude we have and are able to create product at an accessible price point that retains its identity as Sigrid Olsen. Altair understands my design with a fashion twist concept."
Olsen feels glasses have evolved enormously as a fashion accessory. "People now have several pairs of glasses, instead of just one," she notes. "I actually have seven pairs in rounds and rectangles, metals and plastics."
The challenge with eyewear, she says, is giving it a unique look without making it costumey and also, of course, keeping it functional. "The big challenge in designing anything is following trends without being a slave to them. We want to be one step ahead of the trends so customers can tiptoe into a new style tastefully. Aviators and rectangles are important directions in eyewear now so we offer them with a small additional touch such as a Swarovski crystal," Olsen notes. Altair has also just launched a new line of Sigrid Olsen readers. "The readers are fun," the designer says. "It's possible to be a little wilder with colors in readers. But our eyewear collection in general has been great for us. The right pair of glasses tells so much about a person. It's a small way to make a huge impact."
In designing any of her products, Olsen always works out a color concept for the season first, picking color swatches herself by hand and designing all the textiles in her studio in Massachusetts. She also oversees the art direction and advertising for all products, including eyewear, and is actively involved in the design of her stores.
Like her product, Olsen's objective with her store designs is to create an uplifting experience. "I tried to make the SoHo store have a residential appeal," she explains. And in fact, the first thing one feels on entering the store is "this would be a great place to live." The store has seating areas for husbands or friends accompanying the shoppers, complete with books and magazines. Photos from Olsen's travels adorn the walls. Lamp shades feature patterns from Olsen's paintings and the fitting room walls are stenciled with her art work. Her signature color green, which she refers to as a leaf green (the color of new growth), is apparent in the store decor and in her product. What Olsen likes most about her work is the design diversity. "I need a career where I can create—if not fashion, interior design or landscape architecture."
When she is not designing, Olsen creates one-of-a-kind watercolors and prints. And she travels. Her favorite place is Italy. "There is so much history, beauty and art there," she notes. Everything about Italy moves me. I love the heat of the Mediterranean sun, the blue water, the rugged mountains, the lemon groves…."

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick told reporters Wednesday that he "forgave" teammate Riley Cooper, who apologized earlier for using a racial slur that was caught on videotape at a concert.
"He apologized for what he did, and as a team we understood," Vick said Wednesday evening outside team headquarters, via the LATimes.com. "We all make mistakes in life and we all do and say things that maybe we do mean or we don't mean. But as a teammate, I forgave him."
Cooper, who publicly apologized and was fined by the franchise, addressed his teammates Wednesday.
"I just spoke to Riley inside the bubble during the walk-through for about 15 minutes," Vick said. "[Coach Chip Kelly] allowed me to say a few words to the team. He allowed all of us to have open dialogue for five minutes on how we wanted to move forward. I think we cleared the air. We all have an understanding that the most important thing for this football team is to move forward as of right now."
Vick's brother, Marcus, offered $1,000 to the first defender to lay Cooper out.
@MVFive: "Hey I'm putting a bounty on Riley's head. 1k to the first Free Safety or Strong safety that light his [profanity] up! Wake him up please….."
"Hahahaha! Peace of [profanity]. Who want to play on a team with guys like that?" and "Riley Cooper your a [profanity-profanity] Boy!!! Racist peace of [profanity]."
Michael said he doesn't agree with his brothers tweets.
"To address my brother's situation and what he's saying, I don't think it's really relevant," said Vick, via CSNPhilly.com. "You can't allow yourself to be encumbered in what's going on. I don't agree with what my brother is saying.
"Riley is still my teammate and he just stood in front of us and apologized for what he said. Somewhere deep down you've got to find some level of respect for that. To people in the outside world who don't know how we're dealing with it, they're going to forge their own opinions, but my brother has to not show a certain level of ignorance himself."
Marcus has since deleted the tweets and says his page was hacked.

Welcome to my Blog where I aim to chronicle and share my experiences in Sewing. My Wonderful Mum taught me how to sew many moons ago, but I hadn't sewn for many years until 2012 when my now husband and I decided to get married in Lapland.The only way I could create "The Winter Queen" image I had, was to make it myself. It re-kindled my love of sewing and have been sewing ever since. And yes, that is me in my profile photo…

One-Day Ethical Wills Workshop:
Legacy Letters to Your Family
The Center
DATES: Tuesday, July 10, 2012
TIME: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CT
The Center
12700 Southwest Highway
Palos Park, IL 60464
Phone: 708-361-3650
Write Your Ethical Will
How do you want to be remembered? What would you like to tell your descendents about what has been important to you? What do you wish you had from loved ones who are gone?
An ethical will or legacy letter is neither a legal nor a financial document, but an important part of your estate planning. Sharing your values in this way creates a priceless memento of you, to share now or later.
An ethical will is one way to find peace of mind
by leaving a piece of your mind for your loved ones.
During this one-day workshop, we will use writing exercises and memory prompts to help you select what has been important in your life and preserve it for the future.
By the end of this workshop, you will have an ethical will or legacy letter written on archival paper that will endure for generations.
Please bring paper, a notebook or journal and your favorite writing instrument.

As a lecturer, I've seen hundreds of students go from their first day at university through to graduation and beyond, and although they all have different experiences, the most successful share some common features. I thought new year was the perfect time to share some of these thoughts, and perhaps inspire some resolutions!
Before I do, I have one confession to make though. I am rubbish at keeping new year's resolutions. Really rubbish. I get over excited, decide to pretty much change everything in my life, and then crumble after about a week. I'm going to try really hard therefore to make these suggestions achievable and I would love to hear how you get on.
1. Write your own reference
This is shamelessly stolen from an idea developed by Dr Jenn Cumming, but it's brilliant so I want to share it with you. Put aside an hour or so to write the personal reference that you want to receive when you graduate. Think through what they will be able say that you have achieved, what skills and attributes do you have, what type of person have they found you to be. You can use this to start pondering how you're going to develop these skills, and demonstrate these qualities. The best bit is, you can keep the reference and come back to it next term or next year, to see how much progress you've made.
2. Smile at your lecturers
Sounds small, but just smile at us. Say Good Morning when you come into the lecture theatre, and say thanks afterwards. This is not just because it brightens up my day! There are bonuses for you too. Just think – next time you need help with something, or an extension, or we have an opportunity for a limited number of students, we're going to think of you and remember a smiley, engaged student. That can't hurt! Don't take it too far though – I mentioned this to two students, who then proceeded to sing-song "Hi Vikki" and "Bye Vikki" in unison at the start and end of every single lecture… Not entirely what I meant. But I do remember them fondly!
3. Now talk to us too
Students always say they want more contact with lecturers. But I still sit in my office, during my designated "student office hours", allllllll byyyyyyy myyyyseeeellllllffffff. Some lecturers may seem unapproachable sometimes, but we're all genuinely pleased if you come to us with sensible questions. By sensible questions, I don't mean some high-brow amazing insight, but anything that you're unsure of that you couldn't just look up in a text book. The best opening lines, I find, are "I had a question about X. I've looked at XX book, and your lecture notes, and I understand this bit, but I'm still not quite sure why X is X". That way, we know you've made an effort, and we can help you with the specific bit that you're stuck on. Honestly, it's what we're here for.
4. Set up systems
Notice that this resolution isn't "be more organised". That has been on my list every year since ever, and I still despair at myself. Instead, set up some systems that will make being organised a bit easier without much ongoing effort. Firstly buy a folder that fits in your usual bag. So many students rock up at my office, and scrabble around in the bottom of their bag to find screwed up bits of paper. It stresses you out and it makes me impatient with you, and that's not a good start for either of us. Even if you don't get around to filling stuff away, at least it's all in one, nice, flat, place. Also, get a diary if you don't have one already, and pop in all the important dates that you know already – term dates, deadlines, that sort of thing. Now you can see when things might clash, or when you're going to need to focus in a bit, or when you've got some time for exciting opportunities.
5. Book it in
So, in those diary gaps, it would be rude not to book something fun. The best thing about being a student is that you have endless possibilities to do all sorts of random activities, events, volunteering, placements etc. Rather than being overwhelmed with the choices, just pick something that sounds different and book it in. If it's rubbish, then it's rubbish, but you never know what might come of it. I spent seven summers working for an amazing adventure race company, being paid to travel to several different countries. I got those opportunities after I signed up for a one-day event in Milton Keynes, because my friend promised there'd be hot men there. She was right, too, so it was an all round win 🙂
6. Talk to an international student
Wherever you are studying, chances are there are decent chunk of students from overseas. I'd also take a pretty fair bet that you've probably said hello to some of them, but not got around to making much more effort than that. It's understandable – at university we tend to gravitate towards people who are like us, and where we feel at home. But when we do this, we miss out on opportunities to get to know people who've often lived in awesome places and done interesting things. So consider making this the year that you make a conscious effort to have a chat, find things you have in common, and make the kind of friends you'll be glad you have for life.
7. Be the hair-holder, not the hair-holdee
If you don't recognise this metaphor, then you probably don't drink enough to need this resolution! If you do, then you'll know that the hair holder is the one that's held it together enough to be able to help out in a crisis; they're not necessarily sober, and they're certainly not missing out on a night out, but they aren't the one with their head in the toilet. They're also not the one that has to send all the apologetic texts the next morning. Over the years, I've been in both positions I'm afraid, but as I got further through uni, I mainly worked out ways to keep it together. I tend to drink from small bottles, because no one can see how much is left in them so you can hang on to it and make it last for ages! I avoid shots at all costs because they get me into too much trouble far too quickly. Having said that, I did have to be taken home by my first ever PhD student because I drank too much at the School welcome drinks… So none of us are perfect….
8. Quit something
Students are always encouraged to take on new activities, to make a contribution, to get involved and so on and so on. I'm not going to argue against that (in fact, I have another post planned about why this is so important), but sometimes your best plan can be to quit something. We all often end up being torn in too many directions, and just feel rushed and stressed and don't achieve the things we want to. Sometimes it's better just to simplify a little bit and focus on the things that you really enjoy and where you can really make a difference. I quit gymnastics at the point when I realised that I simply couldn't give it the time it needed for me to actually improve, and not improving just made me frustrated all the time. I still miss it, but it was the right decision. On the other hand, I didn't quit a role that I was doing in our student union for the second year – I wasn't learning anything new, I was doing it because someone needed to and it was *quite* interesting. Looking back, I would have been better to cut that off, and spend the time doing something else. Quitting something frees up time for something more exciting.
9. Change something
You might feel that you don't have the power to change much at your university, but you'd be surprised. All unis are desperate to be "responsive" to students, which means there are loads of opportunities to share your ideas and make something new happen. Keep an eye on your student email for formal opportunities, or just talk to a member of staff if you've got an idea (see resolution 3!) One of my favourite students (Hi Chloe!!) suggested we advertised third year module choices as a Modules Fair, with stalls, rather than the usual lecture, and we've been doing it successfully ever since. You're the ones that know what the student experience is like at the moment, so if you have an idea, tell us and we always try to listen!
10. Tell someone
This is probably the most important resolution of all. Over the years, I've seen so many students who are coping with health problems, family issues, relationship difficulties, or simply struggling to feel themselves at university. I've seen how much it can really affect your learning and your time with us. So often students are reluctant to tell someone because they think they're the only one who has this issue, or because they don't want to make a fuss, or to get any unfair advantage, or because they don't know who to talk to. If you remember nothing else from this post, I want you to remember this – there is always someone in your department whose job it is to care about this and to make sure you get the support that you need. They might be called a welfare tutor or a senior tutor or pastoral staff but they exist and they are your gateway to support. Have a snoop through your student handbook, or website, or ask your personal tutor, but find out who they are and tell them what's going on. You won't be the first, and it really can make a difference to your life. Some of the students that I'm most proud of working with are the ones who have had eating disorders, chronic fatigue, psychiatric issues, or family bereavements; they sought support, and flourished in spite of their challenges. Just tell someone.
So, I hope this has given you some ideas! I've tried to make these suggestions things that you can do now while you're feeling motivated, and that could go on to have a lasting effect on your time as a student. Maybe just pick one or two that seem most important to you, and see how you get on! I'd love to hear from you about your progress! For what it's worth, my resolution is to post at least 3 articles a month about how to get the most out of your student days – so follow me on Twitter @drvikkiburns if you want to hear when a new post goes up! Until then, happy new year!

An appeals court in Bahrain has quashed the convictions of nine medics sentenced to lengthy jail terms and reduced the sentences imposed on nine others over their role in anti-government protests last year.
In a controversial decision that comes after months of international criticism of the medics' trials, one doctor, Ali al-Ekri, was sentenced to five years in jail while another, Ibrahim al-Dimistani, faces three years imprisonment, The Guardian reports.
Seven others were handed down sentences of between one month and one year, while two other doctors, who are believed to have fled Bahrain, did not appeal against 15 year-prison sentences imposed last year.
More from GlobalPost: In Bahrain, life in prison just for protesting
According to the Agence France Presse, a group of 20 doctors and nurses who were working at the Salmaniya medical complex in the capital city of Manama last February and March were detained by the security forces as part of a regime crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations in the tiny Gulf kingdom.
In September an emergency military court handed down jail terms of between five and 15 years to the medics – all of whom are Shi'ite Muslims – on charges of possessing arms, occupying a hospital, and inciting the public to try to oust Bahrain's Sunni monarchy, Reuters reports.
Most of them served time in prison, but were freed last year following claims that the authorities had tortured them whilst they were in custody. One of the medics told the BBC earlier this year that the Bahraini security forces had blindfolded and beaten her – as well as giving her electric shocks and threatening her with rape – in order to force her to sign a confession.

Young Dolph Spends Big On With New Video "Royalty"
It's good to be the king. In the video for "Royalty," a highlight from his King of Memphis album, Young Dolph shows us just how good it can be, flexing his wealth in a massive mansion he shares with beautiful women, a monkey, a giraffe, and even a white tiger. Filmed in the Hollywood Hills, the video does not merely show off Dolph's considerable ends, but also "celebrates Black Excellence," says Dolph. Inspired by Coming To America, "Royalty" styles Dolph as an African prince, a title befitting his position as King of Memphis. The video arrives just in time for Young Dolph's Royalty Tour, which commences on August 9th in Dallas, TX.
Young Dolph has certainly kept himself busy, with "Royalty" being the third video he's released in the past week, following up "Both Ways" and "Rich Crack Baby." He has put out three projects this year, with the release of Bo$$e$ and $hooter$ in May, King of Memphis in February, and the upcoming Rich Crack Baby. Forbes named Young Dolph one of The Hip-Hop Cash Princes of 2016, placing him alongside Fetty Wap, G-Eazy, and Metro Boomin, among others. Complex also dubbed him one of 15 Unsigned Rappers Who Should Get A Deal After SXSW. "What makes Dolph exemplary is his affinity for memorable hooks and catchy call-and-response punch lines," Complex raved. "This is Young Thug without the odd quirk." With his vast catalogue of work and unmistakable persona, it's officially the summer of Dolph – catch him on his national Royalty Tour stretching from Atlanta to Seattle in the coming month.

Stolen as a child from her large and loving family, and on the run with her mom for more than ten years, Callie has only the barest idea of what normal life might be like. She's never had a home, never gone to school, and has gotten most of her meals from laundromat vending machines. Her dreams are haunted by memories she'd like to forget completely. But when Callie's mom is finally arrested for kidnapping her, and Callie's real dad whisks her back to what would have been her life, in a small town in Florida, Callie must find a way to leave the past behind. She must learn to be part of a family. And she must believe that love--even with someone who seems an improbable choice--is more than just a possibility.

AUSTIN, Texas — Alex Jones on Friday apologized to the owner of a Washington, D.C., pizzeria for spreading the fake story last year that linked the restaurant to Hillary Clinton's campaign and human trafficking.
Jones, as the Austin, Texas-based host of Infowars.com, has a long history of pushing wild and false conspiracy theories, such as claiming that the U.S. government perpetrated the 9/11 attacks or the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, was a hoax.
But in a rare backtracking mea culpa, Jones apologized for his role in promoting the baseless "Pizzagate" story that went viral among right-wing bloggers and media sites during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The gist of the fake story accused Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta, of running a child sex abuse ring through the Comet Ping Pong restaurant owned by James Alefantis. Podesta's comments about the pizzeria — made in Democratic Party emails exposed by WikiLeaks — became fodder for fake news web portals as well as popular user-generated content sites like Reddit and 4chan.
Jones, in a statement he read aloud for his online audience, tried to put some distance between himself and the fake story and blamed "scores of media outlets," "third-party accounts of alleged activities" and "accounts of (Infowars) reporters who are no longer with us" for the "incorrect narrative" he discussed several times on his program.
"In our commentary about what had become known as Pizzagate, I made comments about Mr. Alefantis that in hindsight I regret, and for which I apologize to him," Jones said.
In language that was clearly sculpted by a legal mind hoping to avoid possible litigation, Jones added: "To my knowledge today, neither Mr. Alefantis nor his restaurant Comet Ping Pong, were involved in any human trafficking as was part of the theories about Pizzagate."
For many people, the Pizzagate conspiracy theory became part of the mainstream political discussion only in December, after 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch of North Carolina reportedly brought a gun into a Comet Ping Pong packed with customers, and pointed it at an employee in hopes of finding proof of "Pizzagate."

WASHINGTON — Update (Friday, November 17)
President Donald Trump said in a tweet Friday he's delaying a new policy allowing the body parts of African elephants shot for sport to be imported until he can review "all conservation facts."
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Thursday that it will allow the importation of body parts from African elephants shot for sport. The agency said encouraging wealthy big-game hunters to kill the threatened species would help raise money for conservation programs.
Animal rights advocates and environmental groups criticized the decision. On Friday, the Republican chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee urged the administration to reverse the policy, calling it the "wrong move at the wrong time."
Trump said that the policy had been "under study for years." He says he will review the issue with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.
Put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as I review all conservation facts. Under study for years. Will update soon with Secretary Zinke. Thank you!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2017
The Trump administration plans to lift a ban on Friday that barred big game hunters from bringing trophies from elephants killed in a pair of African nations to America, according to multiple reports.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service told ABC News in a statement Wednesday that the decision was made after officials in Zimbabwe and Zambia provided them with information to support a reversal of the ban.
"Legal, well-regulated sport hunting as part of a sound management program can benefit the conservation of certain species by providing incentives to local communities to conserve the species and by putting much-needed revenue back into conservation," the spokesperson told ABC News.
The decision will overturn a 2014 ban implemented by President Barack Obama's administration in response to falling elephant populations.
African elephants are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. A provision in the act, however, allows for the government to give permits that let people import trophies from such animals if evidence shows that hunting them helps conservation efforts, according to NBC News.
The rule reversal will apply to elephants hunted in Zimbabwe from Jan. 21, 2016, to Dec. 31, 2018, the news station reported. It will also apply to elephants killed in Zambia in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and "applications that meet all other applicable permitting requirements," a Fish and Wildlife spokesperson told NBC News.
According to the 2016 Great Elephant Census, Savanna elephant populations fell by 30 percent between 2007 and 2014. About 352,000 elephants were spotted during the survey, 82,300 in Zimbabwe and 21,700 in Zambia.
Both countries had areas that saw substantial declines in elephant populations along the Zambezi river in Zambia and in Zimbabwe's Sebungwe region, according to the census.

— Update 2:37 p.m. Nov. 16: Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, on Thursday called for an ethics investigation of himself after a Los Angeles news anchor came forward with allegations that he kissed her forcibly and groped her as she slept during a USO tour in 2006.
Leeann Tweeden on Thursday shared an image taken on the trip back to the U.S. at the end of the tour. Franken can be seen smiling up at the camera as his hands hover over her chest.
I've decided it's time to tell my story. #MeToohttps://t.co/TqTgfvzkZg— Leeann Tweeden (@LeeannTweeden) November 16, 2017
"I don't know what was in my head when I took that picture, and it doesn't matter," Franken said in a statement released Thursday. "There's no excuse. I look at it now and I feel disgusted with myself. It isn't funny. It's completely inappropriate. It's obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture."
He said that he would "gladly cooperate" with an ethics investigation into the incident.
"The truth is, what people think of me in light of this is far less important than what people think of women who continue to come forward to tell their stories," he said. "They deserve to be heard, and believed. And they deserve to know that I am their ally and supporter. I have let them down and am committed to making it up to them."
Update 11:58 a.m. Nov. 16: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has called for an Ethics Committee investigation after a Los Angeles news anchor accused Sen. Al Franken of kissing and groping her without her consent in 2006.
"As with all credible allegations of sexual harassment or assault, I believe the Ethics Committee should review the matter. I hope the Democratic Leader will join me on this," McConnell said, according to Politico. "Regardless of party, harassment and assault are completely unacceptable – in the workplace or anywhere else."
Leeann Tweeden wrote in a blog post for KABC that Franken "forcibly kissed" her and groped her as she slept during a USO tour in December 2006. Franken was an Air America radio host at the time. He was voted into office in 2008.
Franken apologized to Tweeden in a statement Thursday.
Original report: A Los Angeles news anchor and sports broadcaster on Thursday accused Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, of "forcibly kissing" her and groping her as she was asleep during a USO tour in 2006.
In a blog post for KABC, Leeann Tweeden wrote that Franken, who was a radio host for Air America at the time, forced himself on her as they were practicing a skit he wrote for the tour.
She said that, as the show's emcee, she hadn't expected to do more than introduce the acts, "but Franken said he had written a part for me that he thought would be funny, and I agreed to play along."
"When I saw the script, Franken had written a moment when his character comes at me for a 'kiss,'" Tweeden wrote. "I suspected what he was after, but I figured I could turn my head at the last minute, or put my hand over his mouth, to get more laughs from the crowd."
She said he badgered her to practice the kiss scene, and that she eventually agreed, despite her discomfort.
"We did the line leading up to the kiss and then he came at me, put his hand on the back of my head, mashed his lips against mine and aggressively stuck his tongue in my mouth," she wrote. "I immediately pushed him away with both of my hands against his chest and told him if he ever did that to me again I wouldn't be so nice about it the next time."
She said that after the incident, she made sure not to be alone with Franken again.
"I felt disgusted and violated," she wrote. "No one saw what happened backstage. I didn't tell the sergeant major of the Army, who was the sponsor of the tour. I didn't tell our USO rep what happened."
She said she focused on entertaining the troops and didn't speak up because she "didn't want to cause trouble."
"We were in the middle of a war zone, it was the first show of our holiday tour, I was a professional and I could take care of myself," she wrote. "I told a few of the others on the tour what Franken had done, and they knew how I felt about it."
She said that it wasn't until she was looking through a CD of photos from the tour that she learned that Franken had groped her while she was asleep. She shared a photo of the incident, which showed her sleeping in a flak vest and Kevlar helmet as Franken's hands hovered over her chest.
"I couldn't believe it. He groped me, without my consent, while I was asleep," she wrote. "I felt violated all over again. Embarrassed. Belittled. Humiliated. How dare anyone grab my breasts like this and think it's funny?"
Franken apologized for the incident in a statement Thursday.
"I certainly don't remember the rehearsal for the skit in the same way, but I send my sincerest apologies to Leeann," he said, according to The Washington Post. "As to the photo, it was clearly intended to be funny, but wasn't. I shouldn't have done it."
Tweeden said she decided to come forward because "there may be others."

WASHINGTON — Six House Democrats filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday, accusing the president of obstructing justice and undermining the freedom of the press in a likely ill-fated push by lawmakers to oust the president.
"We have taken this action because of great concerns for the country and our Constitution and our national security and our democracy," Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee, said Wednesday at a news conference.
Cohen sponsored the resolution and was joined by five of his colleagues in the House of Representatives: Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Illinois; Rep. Al Green, D-Texas; Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio; Rep. Adriano Espaillat, D-New York; and Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Kentucky.
Announcing Introduction of Articles of Impeachment against Donald TrumpPosted by Congressman Steve Cohen on Wednesday, November 15, 2017
The group filed five articles of impeachment against the president, claiming, among other things, that the president obstructed justice in connection with the FBI investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and connections to Trump presidential campaign officials; and that he has undermined the federal judiciary and the freedom of the press.
>> Related: Larry Flynt offering up to $10M for information leading to Trump's impeachment
"The time has come to make clear to the American people and to this president that his train of injuries to our Constitution must be brought to an end through impeachment," Cohen said.
In the resolution, lawmakers accused Trump of obstructing justice with his firing in May of FBI Director James Comey. In congressional testimony, Comey said he felt the president tried to get him to drop an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign less than a month into his tenure after it was revealed that he lied to Vice President Mike Pence about his contact with Russian officials.

In response to the resolution, a Republican House Judiciary Committee aide told Politico that, "It's the policy of the committee to consider impeachment articles if and when the constitutional criteria for impeachment exist."
Democrats also expressed skepticism over the future success of the resolution.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland, said that many Democrats believe that Trump should be impeached, but "we have just made the judgment that the facts aren't there to pursue that," Politico reported.
The Associated Press noted that the measure was likely to fail in the Republican-led House.

"Indeed, the large majority of Democrats seem intent on having nothing to do with the effort either as lawmakers await the results of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia," the wire service reported. "Democratic leaders have argued that the impeachment campaign riles up Trump's GOP base, a critical bloc in next year's midterm elections."

— President Donald Trump faced criticism after he appeared to have copied a tweet shared after a mass shooting earlier this month at a Texas church in the wake of an attack Tuesday that left five people dead and 10 injured in Northern California.
"May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas," Trump tweeted Tuesday evening, according to Newsweek. "The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived."
The tweet came nearly 10 days after authorities said Devin Patrick Kelley, 26, opened fire on people gathered for Sunday service at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, killing 26 people and wounding 20 others.
It came on the same day that a man killed five people and injured 10 others in attacks in Tehama County, California.

After the attack in Texas, Trump tweeted a nearly identical message to the one shared Tuesday, writing, "May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan."
Twitter users accused Trump of copying and pasting his condolences and forgetting to change the location of the attack.

"The United Kingdom welcomes the Agreement signed on 14 July between the Government of Sudan and the Liberation and Justice Movement, adopting the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur. This is a positive step toward a lasting peace with justice in Darfur.

Israeli parliament restricts member Ahmed Tibi's freedom of movement
Israel's parliament on Tuesday barred an Arab legislator from entering military zones closed to ordinary citizens because of his support for Palestinians in their struggle against Israel.
With most of its 120 members absent, the parliament voted 29-23 to strip Ahmed Tibi of his privilege as a legislator to enter zones placed off-limits by the army. He will also be barred from sensitive sites inside Israel, such as military installations, AP reported.
Tibi angered many Israelis when he described the Palestinian resistance to the Israeli army's capture of Jenin refugee camp in April as "an act of noble heroism."
Right wing Israeli politicians accused him of encouraging suicide bombings. Tibi, who was an adviser to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat before running for parliament in 1999, denied this, saying he has always opposed killing of civilians.
Tibi called parliament's decision unconstitutional and a failure of the democratic system. "My critics on the right wing are unable to confront me on the ideological level, so they resort to antidemocratic means," he told AP. Tibi said he would challenge the decision in the Israeli Supreme Court. (Albawaba.com)

Montana River Oil Spill
July 3, 2011 by staff
Montana River Oil Spill, Exxon Mobil Corps. (XOM) said on Sunday it is the gradual increase of cleaning an oil spill resulting from a pipeline owned by the company in the Yellowstone River near Billings, Montana.
Exxon said it estimated that between 750 and 1,000 barrels of oil were spilled into the river, the pipeline was closed shortly after a loss of pressure is detected, the company said in a statement.
The incident, originally reported Saturday, caused the temporary evacuation of some residents. Local authorities said the floods have hampered the work of cleaning and filtering of the oil has traveled hundreds of miles and could reach the Missouri River, which is a tributary of the Yellowstone.
The Texas energy giant, said oil was found five miles downstream from the location of pipes, and is investigating reports of sightings of oil. Exxon says that air quality tests in the course have not detected any threat to public health. No reports of damage to water quality in municipal water systems have been received, Exxon said.
The leak came from a 12-inch pipeline running from oil Silvertip Silver Council, Mont., Billings. The incident comes amid growing concerns about pipeline safety derived from natural gas pipeline explosions in the U.S., and a large spill in July 2010 in which 20,000 barrels of oil escaped from an Enbridge Energy Partners LP (EEP) of pipelines in Michigan.
Exxon said it has not yet identified the cause of the spill. The pipeline was met "with all regulatory requirements" and was inspected in December. The U.S. pipeline Managing Hazardous Materials Safety program audited pipeline integrity management in June, Exxon said.
A state official said Saturday that although there is no reason for the discharge has been found yet, the floods that have affected the region might have played a role in the incident.
Exxon is bringing teams from around the country to the cleanup effort. "We will keep cleaning until it is complete, and we sincerely apologize to the people of Montana for any inconvenience that this incident is creating," said Gary Pruessing, the president of Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co., in a statement.
The Silvertip crude pipeline originates at the border with Wyoming, Montana and delivery of oil to 60,000 barrels per day Exxon refinery in Billings, which is adjacent to the Yellowstone River. The plant processes crude oil from Wyoming and Alberta, Canada in gasoline and ultra low sulfur diesel, according to Exxon's Web site.

Written by Cheats – Contributions from Mike "Mikemetic" Williams, Ms. Maat Free, Julian Payne, Chance Fischer & Duron Chavis #WESEEIT
With growing debate around the NFL's proposal to penalize the use of racial slurs on the field, the "N" bomb is hot right now. There have been "Outside the Lines" specials, PTI debates, and commentaries from writers and pundits all over, most of them asking the question, "Is it the NFL's place to regulate the "N" word?"
Let's face it, debating the use of the "N" word is not new, nor do I believe it will be brought to any form of resolution in my lifetime. It's the most polarizing word in American modern society. And while it's easy – and creditable – to point the finger at America's unresolved racial history, I believe the future of the "N" bomb rest solely on the shoulders of the people of today.
And I've got to tell you – We the People of Today – are full of contradiction and hypocrisy when it comes to the use of the "N" word.
I find it best that I start with myself as Exhibit A of hypocrisy. I am a 35 year old – African American male – and I try not to use the "N" bomb in any circumstance. Yes, I said try – which means – I have used it in the past and can't promise that it won't make its way out of my mouth in the future. And to be honest, that upsets me.
I strongly believe that there is no good that comes from using the "N" word. I don't think black people should use it, I don't think non-white minorities should use it, and white people – in 2014 – you should know better. It's not funny; it's not cute; using it does not mean you're down or accepted, I don't think the word should be used. My brother – Richmond Renaissance Man – Mike (Mikemetic – NATIVES) said it this way when describing how he would teach his young son about the use of the word, "I will tell him that when people start to identify too deeply with bad things, those things can start to affect how they act and how they see themselves. It's also a word that serves no specific functional purpose that can't be replaced with a variety of other terms."
Yet, I fully admit that when it comes to the "N" bomb – I'm extremely passive, it's in the music I purchase/download, it's in the movies I pay to see; it's used at concerts I attend; it's used by the artist I write about; and often it's in the music I post on this very site. Is that not the definition of hypocrisy?
I understand most people around age, my race, and my education level, are aware and understand the difference between the worst form the usage – the dreaded "er" and it's more endearing counterpart "gga." Those distinctions alone are problematic for me. I have a 9 year niece and I don't care how she would dare use the "N" word, she will not using "ga" around me – or around her mother or our neighbor's – you get the point. That's not acceptable to me. But when we hop in the car and Jay and Kanye's "N**GS in Paris" comes from my Ipod (unedited I might add) we are both nodding our heads in approval of the classic. And there lays even more of the hypocrisy; right.
Even with my strong opposition to the use of the "N" bomb, the reason why I can't guarantee that it will never surface from me ever again is because I'm a fan of hip hop. It's my favorite art form. Hip hop is my culture. And the "N" bomb is ingrained in the fabric of the culture. It's ingrained so much that I don't see the "N" bomb going anywhere – anytime soon. Mikemetic came back to add, "The music is what has made its (N Bomb) use so popular. Hip hop is a powerful tool and it is being used more maliciously than ever these days by people who want to undermine its positive potential for change and enlightenment."
Right now on commercial radio there is a hit songs by YG called, My N**GA and another by Nicki Minja called, Lookin A** N**GA. And that's on commercial radio. And for those of you who hate on today's hip hop, go back to the golden era of Biggie, 2Pac, Jay, Nas, Wu-Tang, Snoop, and Dre, they all overused the "N" bomb. Even more socially aware artist like Common and Mos Def have used the "N" word in their music. Are they hypocrites? Are they part of the problem? Is hip hop culture part of the problem? In Common's defense, he justifies the use of the "N" bomb as speaking the language of the culture. Do you accept that? Should I accept that? In many ways I do.
Or is there a larger – more intellectual – issue here? My brother Julian Payne (Capoeira Angola Liberation Movement) said, "In the use of the word 'Nigger/Nigga' we must understand the long history it has traveled. Long before its negative connotations it was used to describe a place (Niger), then a color of a people (Negro, Negra), then a label to devalue a human being (Nigger). In Amharic (Ethiopian language), Negus means king…" He went on to say, "The power of this word lies in both the user and receiver of the word. Education of the word can strip the word of its power and fear of it…I personally choose not to use it in this country out of respect for those Africans and African- Americans it has hurt in a system that has used it as a tool to invoke hate, fear, and power over another race."
Ms. Maat Free (founder of #untoldrva) weighed in on a more spiritual level, speaking of KUJICHAGULIA (self-determination), "Once you realize the value of cultivating your own knowledge of self and you begin to understand that you're the product of a great and mighty lineage, the next thing you know, you'll start referring to yourself and others as Brothers, Sisters, Kings and Queens. At that point, KUJICHAGULIA has successfully inspired you to elevate your consciousness and become the antithesis of the N word, making the whole situation one great big ole moot point."
Hip hop is one of the most honest reflections of the black community that exist in America. The reason that the "N" bomb is ingrained in hip hop culture is because the word has been ingrained in the black community. The only way to remove the "N" bomb for music, or the NFL, or any organization is to remove it from community. And how do you do that? Your guess is as good as mine – but my guess relies heavily on family (traditional and non-traditional), friends, and modeling positive behavior.
One of the most talented young hip hop artists in RVA is Chance Fischer (@Chance_Fischer). Chance hit me up on this topic, "I'll preface this by saying the N-word or any of its permutations cannot logically be defended. With that in mind, I will not defend my usage of the word, but rather I'll provide insight as to why I choose to employ it. The environment in which I was raised allowed for the n-word to be used colloquially as a term of endearment; where any semblance of recognition was a beacon of light in a mired city. I cannot speak to the intentions of reclaiming the word for good; it was just something I grew with." Chance continued to say, "People defining meaning. Words aren't born in and of themselves; people create them and use them how they wish to."
I agree with Chance. I identify with Chance. And while I commend the NFL because I believe examples can be set in a workplace (the NFL is a workplace), I truly believe the only way to make real advancements on this topic is to model positive behavior. What do I mean? I try not to use the word at all. Most of friends don't use the word and what I've noticed is that other friends – when they are around us – don't use the word; because they don't feel comfortable using the word around people who don't use it. That's it. That's all it takes. It sounds simple but some circles are much harder to crack; right.
But that's just my opinion and my experience on the use of the "N" bomb and as you can see there are no definitive answers with my words, just my observation. I turn the last words of this post over to Brother Manifest Duron Chavis (Happily Nature Day), who believes, "We can't police word usage. I am more concerned about the treatment of my people than being called the "N" word. We got bigger battles to fight."
What battles are you fighting? What behavior are you modeling? How are you making you community better? #WESEEIT @CheatsMWC
