Defining self-esteem
Self-esteem reflects a person's overall self-appraisal of their own worth.
Self-esteem encompasses positive beliefs in oneself for example, "I am competent", "I am a good writer" as well as negative beliefs such as I don't look good or I am a bad person. Behavioural attributes such as assertiveness and confidence reflects self-esteem.
Psychologists usually regard self-esteem as an enduring personality characteristic. Self-esteem can apply specifically to a particular dimension (for example: "I believe I am a good writer, and feel proud of that in particular") or have global extent (for example: "I believe I am a good person, and feel proud of myself in general").
Synonyms or near-synonyms of self-esteem include:
- self-respect
- self-worth
- self-regard
- self-love
- self-confidence
Self-worth comprise thosequalities a person believes he or she must have in order to class as a person of worth and value; proponents claim the contingencies as the core of self-esteem. Individuals who base their self-worth in a specific domain, e.g academic success, leave themselves much more vulnerable to having their self-esteem threatened when negative events happen to them within that domain, such as when they fail a test at school. Researchers believe that people confuse the boosts to self-esteem resulting from successes with true human needs, such as learning, mutually supportive relationships.
Prevalence of the concept of self-esteem
The Oxford English Dictionary traces the use of the word "self-esteem" in English back as far as 1657. Self-esteem has become the third most frequently occurring theme in psychological literature: as of 2003 over 25,000 articles, chapters, and books referred to the topic.
Definitions of self-esteem
Given a long and varied history, the term has, unsurprisingly, no less than three major types of definitions in the field, each of which has generated its own tradition of research, findings, and practical applications:
- The original definition presents self-esteem as a ratio found by dividing one's successes in areas of life of importance to a given individual by the failures in them.
- In the mid 1960s social-learning theorists defined self-esteem in terms of a stable sense of personal worth or worthiness, measurable by self-report testing.
- Nathaniel Branden in 1969 briefly defined self-esteem as "The experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness". This double-factor approach, as some have also called it, provides a balanced definition that seems to be capable of dealing with limits of defining self-esteem primarily in terms of competence or worth alone. This definition of self-esteem includes the following primary properties:
- self-esteem as a basic human need.
- self-esteem as an automatic and inevitable consequence of the sum of individuals' choices in using their consciousness
- something experienced as a part of, or background to, all of the individual's thoughts, feelings and actions.
Measuring self-esteem
Most of us recognise just "high" self-esteem and "low" self-esteem.
For the purposes of empirical research, psychologists typically assess self-esteem by a self-report questionnaire yielding a quantitative result.
American psychologist Abraham Maslow described two kinds of esteem needs ? the need for respect from others and the need for self-respect. Respect from others entails recognition, acceptance, status, and appreciation. Without the fulfillment of these needs, an individual feels discouraged, weak and inferior.
Quality and level of self-esteem
Level and quality of self-esteem, though correlated, remain distinct. Level-wise, one can exhibit high but fragile self-esteem or low but stable self-esteem, as in humility. However, investigators can indirectly assess the quality of self-esteem in several ways:
- in terms of its constancy over time
- in terms of its independence of meeting particular conditions (non-contingency)
- in terms of its ingrained nature at a basic psychological level (implicitness or automaticity).
Religion and self-esteem
Students active in religious organizations, along with those who read sacred texts or attend religious services, were found to have heightened emotional and mental health, according to a recent study by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Women and self-esteem
Self-esteem has a major impact on well-being for men and women. Physical appearance is just one factor influencing self-esteem. Self-esteem is a factor in women with anorexia nervosa.Body dissatisfaction is a risk factor for depressive mood and low self-esteem in both young men and women.Lower scores for self-esteem are found in pregnant women who feel fat and self-esteem scores are higher in pregnant women who feel attractive.Improving attractiveness can enhance self-esteem in women. Trauma affecting physical ability and attractiveness can has been shown to lower self-esteem. Psychological well-being, including self-esteem of adolescent women is more related to body satisfaction than actual and perceived weight status. Higher Self-Esteem is associated with better health than in those men and women with chronic conditions or disability.
Infertility has an adverse effect on women and men. Low self-esteem may be factor in men and women who practice unsafe sex. Women who have had gynaecological cancer are more prone to lower self-esteem.
Middle-aged women may enhance certain aspects of physical self-esteem by participating in physical excercise. Self-esteem mediates the relationship between disordered eating and problem solving ability in an anorexic women. Treatment implications include support for programmes emphasising increasing self-appraisal and self-efficacy. It has been shown in France that young women with anorexia show low social, familial and general self-esteem.
Fewer young women than men report high self-esteem. Adults may foster self-esteem in adolescents by providing positive communication through supportive and caring relationships.
Perceived parental empathy is associated with healthy self-developmentand hence self-esteem. Not surprisingly, women who suffer domestic violence are prone to low self-esteem.
Improving self-esteem
As poor health and reduced attractiveness reduce self-esteem, every effort should be made to improve health. A health diet is an important start. Exercising regularly is also beneficial.
We all need help with our self-esteem. It is the way of the world that we should be pleasant to others and boost their morale. Religions invariably support this as a character-trait to be developed. In Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Abraham is sited as the example par excellence. The support and love of those closest to you whether family, friends or peers all help to enhance self-esteem. This must be a reciprocal process. Those who offer their support need the support from others. For those with low self-esteem, there is a danger that they become so obsessed with their own plight that they become insulated and fail to recognise the needs of those closest to them. By providing support to those who matter to them, they will in turn receive the support they themselves require.
Dyslexia and associated reading and learning difficulties may cause reduced self-esteem. Sometimes simple measures, such as coloured tinted lenses may help. Migraine-Dyslexia.com These lenses may sometimes assist with photosensitive migraine and epilepsy.Information on visual stress treatment with coloured tinted glasses.
Excessive self-esteem
Humans have portrayed the dangers of excessive self-esteem and the advantages of more humility since at least the development of Greek tragedy. Ongoing social concern with too much perceived self-esteem reflects in everyday language: we speak of the need to "take a person down a peg or two". Spiritual practices which de-emphasize the self may lead to a more socially acceptable balance in the personal self-esteem stakes.
Self-esteem, grades and relationships
From the late 1970s to the early 1990s Americans assumed as a matter of course that students' self-esteem acted as a critical factor in the grades that they earn in school, in their relationships with their peers, and in their later success in life. Given this assumption, many American groups created programs which aimed to increase the self-esteem of students, assuming that grades would increase, conflicts would decrease, and that this would lead to happier and more successful lives. Until the 1990s little peer-reviewed and controlled research took place on this topic.
The concept of self-improvement has undergone dramatic change since 1911, when self-esteem was mockingly defined as "an erroneous appraisement." Good and bad character are now known as "personality differences". Rights have replaced responsibilities. A revolution has taken place in the vocabulary of self. Words that imply responsibility or accountability ? self-criticism, self-denial, self-discipline, self-control, self-effacement, self-mastery, self-reproach, and self-sacrifice, are no longer fashionable. Self-expression, self-assertion, self-indulgence, self-realization, self-approval, self-acceptance, self-love, and the self-esteem are now the order of the day.
Peer-reviewed research undertaken since then has not validated previous assumptions. Recent research indicates that inflating students' self-esteem in and of itself has no positive effect on grades. High self-esteem correlates highly with self-reported happiness. However, it is not clear which, if either, necessarily leads to the other.
Self-Esteem, Bullying, violence and murder
Some of the most interesting results of recent studies centre on the relationships between bullying, violence, and self-esteem. It was assumed that bullies acted violently towards others because they suffered from low self-esteem, although supporters of this position offered no controlled studies to back up this belief. Recent research, however, indicates that bullies act the way that they do because they suffer from unearned high self-esteem.
The findings of this research do not take into account that the concept of self-esteem lacks a clear definition and that differing views exist of the precise definition of self-esteem. In his own work, Baumeister often uses a "common use" definition: self-esteem is how you regard yourself (or how you appear to regard yourself) regardless of how this view was cultivated. Other psychologists believe that a "Self-Esteem" that depends on external validation of the self (or other people's approval), such as what seems relevant in the discussion of violent people, does not, in fact, e quate to "true" self-esteem.
Hiding in the Shadows – A Self Esteem Poem
Do not stand in the shadow of someone else
When you can cast a shadow of yourself
A shadow is your reflection on the ground
It must be distinct if it is to be found
Step out of the darkness and into the light
Display your personal talents without fright
A day will come when you are called to lead
Do not shrink from your chance to succeed
Move to the forefront and take control
Seize the challenges of life and be bold
Don't let someone else can take your place
You are a unique member of the Human Race
Little Things in Life – A Self Esteem Poem
Too often we don't realize
what we have until it is gone;
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry – I was wrong"
Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart
Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
to see what made us blind
So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you;
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through
Be sure that you appreciate
everything you've got
And be thankful for the little things
in life that mean a lot

With the advancement of Cutters football gloves, receivers are making ridiculous circus catches with regularity nowadays. What are the defensive backs charged with covering them supposed to do when the person they are lined up against has the ability to make nearly any catch imaginable with only one hand?
Fight fire with fire. This is a common concept in football, and the battle between receivers and defensive backs is no different. Defensive backs should also be wearing revolutionary football gloves in order to level the playing field. Cutters has developed gloves that have the same tackiness as the ones wide receivers are wearing, while also providing some extra padding and support to help with the violence of tackling. A defensive back has to be able to both catch like a receiver and bring receivers down in the open field. Cutters defensive back gloves allow them to have both of these vital skills.

Paris Hilton has been making the L.A. club rounds with her new beau, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos (a.k.a. Mary-Kate Olsen's ex). And the nightlife-loving pair haven't been shy with their affection.
Recently, the couple hit Los Angeles club Mood, where they holed up at a VIP table. They kissed and cuddled throughout the night, and at one point, Hilton stood on the couch with her arms around Niarchos's neck and proceeded to make out with him.
Two nights later, they headed to the Spider Club, showing up at about 12:45 a.m. with an entourage of seven friends. The group joined pals Bijou Phillips and Danny Masterson in a booth and as soon as they settled in, Hilton and Niarchos began – you guessed it – smooching.
When they weren't cozying up to each other, they were playing bartender. Niarchos made cocktails with vodka, cranberry and orange juice, while Hilton passed a bottle of tequila around the table followed by a can of Red Bull. The hotel heiress also danced with Niarchos to DMX's "Ruff Ryders Anthem," Toni Basil's '80s classic "Hey Mickey" and N.E.R.D.'s "Lap dance," during which she performed a playful dance of her own.
Take That! She's handy with a sword in The Legend of Zorro, the sequel to 1998's The Mask of Zorro, but that isn't the only sharp object Catherine Zeta-Jones is adept at using. "Knitting and embroidery is what I did," she told us at the movie's Los Angeles premiere about how she kept herself entertained on the set. "I'm not the kind of person that can go to sleep in the trailer." Jokes costar Nick Chinlund, who plays a villain in the film: "It was a little difficult trying to adjust from Catherine wielding a sword to her wielding knitting needles."
And morphing back into an action heroine wasn't easy either. "I was a little rusty in the beginning," says Zeta-Jones. "It was more the choreography for me – the dance thing." But Chinlund says the Oscar winner is a force to be reckoned with. She's "very strong," he says.

Growth in technological infrastructure is essential for businesses that want to stay competitive in their industry. Investments in technology can allow companies to conduct business more efficiently, and provide better service for their customers. Skycasters is continuously working to improve our infrastructure, from upgrading our networks to expanding our satellite fleet. We started constructing another uplink antenna (Antenna 5) late last year, and we are anticipating its completion over the next couple months.
Antenna construction is a complex process involving many individuals, from suppliers, to engineers and city officials. Before construction began, the land had to be approved by zoning officials for commercial use. As our teleport sits on the approach for the Akron-Fulton airport, we had to have FAA approval of our plans. The FCC, of course, also had to give its blessing. Engineers determined the necessary antenna components, and Skycasters worked closely with our network of suppliers to select and purchase the equipment.
At the current phase of antenna construction, we have constructed the frame of the uplink antenna. Antenna components such as the kingpost, reflector, and service platform have all been assembled. The reflector, subreflector and feed are aligned, which means that the dish can properly focus the satellite beam. Still, more work needs to happen before the antenna can become fully functional. The indoor and outdoor control units need to be installed, as well as the heating and ventilation system. Once all the electronics are purchased and mounted, the whole system needs to be wired.
After the antenna construction is complete, Skycasters will be able to give our customers better service by transferring customer connections from the 6.3m uplink antennas to the new 8.1m dish. Because the new uplink antenna is larger in diameter, it will increase the signal quality and reduce rain fade for our clients. At Skycasters, we are committed to providing high quality satellite Internet for our customers. And investing in infrastructure improvements allows us to continue to provide the best service for our clients.
If internet connectivity is critical to your business, contact us today to learn more about our backup connections for business continuity. One of our dedicated team members will be happy to explain our plans and get you started today.CONTACT US NOW

What I've always suspected now has some solid evidence behind it:
Less attractive women seek casual sex as a compromise, and more attractive women avoid it.
The University of Notre Dame has issued a press release highlighting the research of sociologist Elizabeth McClintock (H/T: Stuart Schneiderman):
Handsome Wants as Handsome Does: Physical Attractiveness and Gender Differences in Revealed Sexual Preferences
"McClintock studies the impacts of physical attractiveness and age on mate selection and the effects of gender and income on relationships."
Perfect for HUS!
By way of background, McClintock buys into the sexual economics model of relationships:
Couple formation is often conceptualized as a competitive, two-sided matching process in which individuals implicitly trade their assets for those of a mate, trying to find the most desirable partner and most rewarding relationship that they can get given their own assets. This market metaphor has primarily been applied to marriage markets and focused on the exchange of income or status for other desired resources such as physical attractiveness, but it is easily extended to explain partner selection in the young adult premarital dating market as well.
…Just as good looks may be exchanged for status and financial resources, attractiveness may also be traded for control over the degree of commitment and progression of sexual activity.
This confirms what David Buss said in The Evolution of Desire nearly 20 years ago:
Women desire a lasting commitment, and the most desirable women are in the best position to get what they want.
The study also features a methodology that should please those HUS readers who put little faith in surveys and hypothetical "what if" questions:
Rather than using a direct measure of sexual and romantic goals, this paper uses reported outcomes to infer goals. The advantage to this approach is that individuals may not know what they most value in partners and relationships and/or may answer questions about preferences and priorities in accordance with gender-stereotyped sexual and romantic scripts. Indeed, for men there is evidence that the sexual behavior they expect of themselves is not consistent with their actual experiences.
McClintock also points out that a preferred strategy isn't very useful if you don't have the power to bring your dreams to fruition:
Actual sexual and romantic outcomes are interesting because they reflect compromised rather than ideal choices: Individuals' ideal preferences may be unattainable, forcing them to compromise and enter sub-optimal unions (or to remain single).
McClintock's background summary cites many studies that show physical attractiveness to hold a relatively low place in the hierarchy of desired attributes, for both women and men. However, she questions the validity of these responses, much as HUS readers did when looking at the results of the Single in America survey.
In contrast, in experimental studies designed to measure individual's acted preferences (as opposed to stated preferences), physical attractiveness is highly valued by both genders. The consistency of findings over a wide range of studies makes the conclusions reasonably credible: Both women and men value physical attractiveness highly in actual choices but value it less when reporting their preferences.
McClintock hypothesized that the most attractive people should be able to more effectively realize their goals in mate selection. She explores and contrasts "social structural" effects, i.e. a sexual double standard constraining female sexuality, vs. evolutionary theory, i.e. genetically determined gender differences, on outcomes.
Social Structural Perspective
- Gendered sexual norms vary over time and place and respond to changing social conditions.
- Women's and men's relative valuation of physical attractiveness and financial potential have become increasingly similar as women's labor force participation increases, and this trend is stronger in more gender-egalitarian regions of the United States.
- Age, education, feminist ideology, and political orientation are also important, modifying the effect of gender on the valuation of partners' physical attractiveness and status.
- The sexual double standard, still prevalent today, penalizes women and forgives (or rewards) men for accumulating sexual experience.
- Women favor committed, long-term relationships.
Evolutionary Theory Perspective
- Men may choose between short-term mating strategies, in which they mate with many women without committing resources to potential offspring, or a long-term strategy, in which they offer support in raising offspring in exchange for sexual access.
- Women may also pursue a mixture of short- and long-term mating strategies. They use short-term mating to acquire "good genes," generally identified by physical attractiveness and bravado. They use long-term mating strategies to acquire material support in raising offspring.
- Women will be more selective than men in picking casual sex partners.
|McClintock's Hypotheses
|Social Structural
|Evolutionary Theory
More physically attractive women and men will be more likely to have had a romantic relationship than less attractive women and men.
More physically attractive women and men will be more likely to have had sexual intercourse than less attractive women and men.
|More physically attractive men will have more sexual partners than less attractive men.
|More physically attractive men are more likely to have sexual intercourse soon after meeting a new partner, compared to less attractive men.
|More physically attractive women are less likely to have sexual intercourse soon after meeting a new partner, compared to less attractive women.
|More physically attractive men will be more likely to describe their relationships as casual sexual relationships and less likely to describe their relationships as exclusive relationships, compared to less attractive men.
|More physically attractive women will be more likely to describe their relationships as exclusive relationships and less likely to describe their relationships as casual sexual relationships, compared to less attractive women.
n = > 14,000
Mean age = 21.5 years
To measure attractiveness, subjects were rated from 1 (very unattractive) to 5 (very attractive). In addition, BMI was accounted for, using the following metric:
<18.5: Underweight
19-24: Normal weight
25-30: Overweight
30+: Obese
1. For women, the number of sexual partners decreases with increasing physical attractiveness.
2. Very physically attractive women are more likely to form exclusive relationships than to form purely sexual relationships.
3. Attractive women are less likely to have sexual intercourse within the first week of meeting a partner.
4. Underweight and normal-weight women are more likely to report romantic experience.
5. Overweight women report approximately 10% more partners than normal-weight women whereas obese women report approximately 10% fewer partners.
6. For women the effect of being underweight on within-relationship outcomes resembles the effect of being very physically attractive.
(This suggests that the factors influencing romantic and sexual desirability are at least in part socially structured because underweight women are less fertile so the evolutionary perspective predicts that they would be less able to obtain desired outcomes.)
These results are consistent with the social structural model that posits that women's romantic and sexual goals are shaped by the double standard of sexuality.
1. For men, the number of sexual partners increases with increasing physical attractiveness.
This suggests that men seek a greater number of sexual partners than women: Physically attractive men do better in the resulting competition for sexual access.
2. For men, being very physically attractive increases the chance of reporting purely sexual relationships (versus exclusive relationships).
3. Being physically attractive also increases the chance of having sexual intercourse in the first week of acquaintance.
4. Normal-weight men report the most partners.
5. Underweight men are predicted to report 17% fewer partners, and obese men are predicted to report 27% fewer partners.
These results are consistent with an evolutionary model in that partnerships characterized as "only having sex" and partnerships in which sexual intercourse occurs after a brief period of acquaintance are indicative of a female short-term mating strategy.
1. Very physically attractive individuals are more advantaged than unattractive individuals are disadvantaged.
In many instances, only very physically attractive individuals differed significantly from average/attractive individuals (the reference group) whereas unattractive individuals did not differ.
2. Women and men who are more educated and/or who have higher-status parents are rated more attractive and tend to have lower BMI.
It is clear that sexual and romantic outcomes are at least partially socially structured.
First, the sexual double standard unequivocally indicates that women will favor committed sexual relationships whereas some formulations of the evolutionary perspective suggest that women may pursue both long- and short-term mating strategies.
Second, the sexual double standard predicts that women will prefer delaying sexual intercourse whereas the evolutionary model does not make a clear prediction regarding gender differences (or similarity) in the preferred timing of sexual intercourse.
Third, the evolutionary model clearly indicates that more physically attractive men will have a greater propensity to form casual sexual relationships whereas the social structural model provides less guidance in predicting men's behavior (the sexual double standard is directed at women).
McClintock notes that the two theories may overlap:
Perhaps the sexual double standard has persisted in part because the difference in sexual behavior that it enforces is evolutionarily determined and would exist regardless. An alternative explanation is that evolutionary theories of human mating behavior have been developed post hoc to explain observed behavior: Insofar as observed behavior is consistent with the sexual double standard, evolutionary theories will tend to make similar predictions.
Stay tuned, McClintock has a new study coming out that looks at the exchange of female beauty for male status, i.e. hypergamy. I'll keep you posted.

* Machinery stocks fall on profit-taking triggered by Sino-U.S. trade woes
* Mazda falls on worries about loss related to rains in July
By Ayai Tomisawa
TOKYO, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei edged higher on Tuesday morning helped by gains in chip equipment makers, but gains were limited as U.S.-Japan trade talks scheduled this week kept investors cautious.
Investors returned to the market after a national holiday on Monday. The dollar's move above 112 yen level has underpinned confidence among Japan's export-exposed firms.
Tuesday's gainers included large cap stocks such as Tokyo Electron and Advantest Corp, which soared 3.0 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively, tracking steady U.S. tech shares overnight.
The Nikkei share average gained 0.1 percent to 23,901.40 after dipping in negative territory. The benchmark index has hit a more than eight-month high after rising U.S. yields pushed up financial stocks while the weak yen supported overall sentiment.
The next milestone is the 24,129.34 level hit on Jan. 23, a break of which would put the index at its highest since November 1991.
Japan and the United States postponed their second round of trade talks in New York to Tuesday from Monday, a Japanese official said, amid concerns in Tokyo that it would face greater pressure to reduce the bilateral trade imbalance.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi were scheduled to meet on Monday evening, ahead of a Wednesday summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, on the sidelines of a U.N. General Assembly meeting.
"The market wants to see the outcome of the trade talks and the summit this week before chasing the market further," said Nobuhiko Kuramochi, a strategist at Mizuho Securities, adding that the market is jittery as a new round of U.S.-China tariffs triggered profit-taking in machinery companies which rely on China demand.
Keeping broader sentiment cautious, China and the United States imposed a new round of tariffs on each other's goods on Monday, which is expected to hit global growth.
Construction equipment makers Komatsu Ltd shed 2.0 percent and Hitachi Construction Machinery declined 2.7 percent, as investors took profits from 13 percent gains in their shares over the past week. Electrical equipment maker Yaskawa Electric tumbled 5.9 percent after jumping 13 percent last week.
Mazda Motor dropped more than 2 percent after the automaker said on Friday that it has suffered 28 billion yen impact from a loss of production due to western Japan rains in July.
The broader Topix gained 0.6 percent to 1,814.72. (Editing by Sam Holmes)

"An intense lesbian character study of a woman, her lover and her mother."
— Medium
An intimate drama revolving around three main characters, "A Map For Love" plots the course of a woman, her mother and her female lover. Two days in their lives occur in two opposing settings: Everyday life in the demanding metropolis of Santiago, Chile, and on a sailboat trip cruising a beautiful bay.
The three characters remain trapped in a claustrophobic confrontation. In the tradition of Roman Polanski's classic "Knife in the Water," this is an intense character drama interlaced with humor portraying the eternal, never completed quest of seeing and recognizing the other as they are or, at least, as they want to be seen.
Winner: Best Director, Santiago International Film Festival
"Told with humor and artistic flair… explores the struggle to understand and accept those we love." — Outfest

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive neurodegenerative disease, characterized by cognitive impairment, memory loss and functional decline. Symptoms typically begin to first occur in patients in their mid-sixties, appearing in varying stages. The pathological features of AD comprise histopathological changes within the brain. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a heterogeneous condition between normal cognition and dementia, whereby cognitive changes in mental abilities, such as memory or thinking, are affected. Almost all cases of AD begin with MCI, but it should be noted that not all patients with MCI go on to develop AD.

Recreational marijuana officially became legal in Michigan today. And to celebrate the occasion, staffers from a Michigan newspaper gave away free joints to lucky passersby.
City Pulse Gives Away Free Weed
Today, members of the Lansing City Pulse gave away free joints. They stood outside Lansing City Hall, which is conveniently located across from the Michigan state Capitol. The giveaway was part of a celebration in honor of Michigan's legalization of recreational cannabis.
According to local news sources, the journalists started out with around an ounce of weed that was rolled up into a number of joints.
Journalists from the paper gave the free joints to people when they walked past. Of course, City Pulse staffers checked for IDs first. If the person was 21 or older, they were offered a free joint.
Within just a few hours, City Pulse journalists were completely out of weed. They reportedly gave joints to at least 28 people.
Legal Weed in Michigan
Today marks the first official day of legal weed in Michigan. Last month, voters in the state approved a proposal to make recreational weed legal.
Now that the new laws are in full effect, adults 21 and older are allowed to

Those stories will simply be told via other media. You're merely targetting the symptoms instead of the underlying reasons for such stories. What you're asking for is basically beyond what a human society is able to do. Nation-states are built upon turning history into myths, regardless of their political ideology. China had Mao, India has Gandhi, the UK have Churchill and etc.K. A. Pital wrote: ↑2018-01-12 09:01amTruth is preferrable to lies. If only lies can be reproduced in typical film (and there are rare exceptions to that), the mass culture needs a kick in the nuts. The masses do not benefit from mass spread of falsehoods, however soothing, and art which displays a fake history to anchor propaganda in the present actually is propaganda.Simon_Jester wrote: ↑2018-01-12 08:09amStas, do you really want to adopt the stance that "no art" is preferable to "imperfectly representational art?"
Because if so, there has never been a time in the history of the world that produced art you are likely to approve of. By sneering at that, you're basically walking away from humanity, not from bad art.
If honestly called propaganda and not "based on a true story", then it would be ok. But few people are willing to admit Western art is 99% propaganda and distortions.
Do I approve of the tomb of Tutankhamun and buildings of Hatshepsut, of the Roman buildings and decor? Yes. Do I think that they need to be recreated? No.
If we want to move on to a better world, we need to recognize that mythologized history does more harm than good.
How is the cult of Churchill and the cult of Founding Fathers, or the cult of whatever king or queen becomes a biopic subject, better than the cult of Kim Jong Un?
Fake is fake. Removal and deconstruction of fakes and myths is necessary to advance beyond them.
A narrative movie is not a documentary. People on some level will be aware of that fact. What you can do is instead make people study film in school, and understand how film as a form of media is trying to construct a more mythologized narrative due to time constraints.

This version features primary lines for students to write an event from the day or announcement/reminder for families. I use regular mailing labels (30 to a sheet) and the kids stick it on each day. It has a large box for parent/teacher communication--which is great since it stays in the notebook for reference throughout the year.
The other version features primary lines for students plus the parent/teacher communication space. It also has a circle which can be used to record daily behavior and a box for parent initials.

"Best vacation of my life"
Trip Advisor has been seeing such great guest reviews lately we thought we'd share:
"Best vacation of my life" – 5 Stars
This was more than just a vacation it was a wonderful experience. It took us totally out of our everyday lives. The food, accommodations, activities are awesome! The staff becomes family immediately. The scenery is spectacular. We are planning our trip for next year. Several friends have decided to go from seeing our pictures. If a dude ranch is on your bucket list this is the place to make it happen.
Sleep Quality, Rooms, Service – all 5 stars
Cowgirlpatty – Hoschton, GA
"Most Fantastic Trip of a Lifetime!"
This place is incredible! The scenery — the mountains and valleys — take your breath away. The staff is utterly terrific and attentive and quickly you feel like part of their family. The food is divine and with huge portions you'll never go hungry. The cabins/houses have fully stocked kitchens w/beverages (incl. wine) and snacks at no extra cost. They also have free washers and dryers. Rooms have private bathrooms. We did everything from trail rides, barrel racing, cow sorting, cattle driving, fly fishing, skeet shooting, wild horse viewing…never a dull moment and always fun! Even went to a rodeo. You can do as much or as little as you want. There is no pressure. The wranglers were experienced, knowledgeable and attentive to the needs of every guest so that first time riders felt comfortable and secure. I would highly recommend The High Lonesome Dude Ranch to anyone looking for adventure and a great time. We'll be back next year, and for many years to come, for sure!
Stayed June 2016, traveled with friends
Value, Sleep Quality, Service – all 5 stars
118home – Old Saybrook, CT
"It could not have been any better!"
Our trip to High Lonesome was spectacular! We've never been to a ranch before and really didn't know what to expect. From the moment we arrived we felt how special this place is and were warmly welcomed — even into the kitchen for the behind the scenes tour! The fishing was amazing for my husband and son. My son lives to fly fish and he couldn't get enough—even with three grand slams! The riding was equally amazing and doing the cattle drive was a really cool experience. Our horses, Piggy and Comet, were terrific and perfectly paired for my daughter and me. The mountains, ponds, trails and pastures, really the entire ranch, are so beautiful. Most of all, we left feeling like we'd made wonderful new friends. And the food …the food was amazing. We loved how Paul, Scott, Marian, Jake, Jackie, Kelsey, Saskia, Amber, Maren and others joined us for meals so we got to know everyone well. Matt, Simon, Jet, Susanne and of course Aunt Linda prepared the most amazing meals — all very fresh and abundant! Every meal was the best meal we ever had. We will be talking about our week at High Lonesome for a very, very long time. We hope to return soon!
Room Tip: Book now and go!

I do not see why this is popular, they only thing that I can see if because it's "cute". However all the cuteness is contrived and obvious so it comes off as fake and trying to hard.Read more
The storyline is boring, the characters are all your usual generic suspects, and the "magical sequences" are shoddily done.
I admit this is the ...

Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been out for roughly over a year now in Japan and was recently licensed by Aniplex USA. It is a short 12 episode Magical Girl series that tells the story ...
118 out of 121 people found this review helpful:Being a magical girl has it's priceWhen you first see the poster and description of this show, your first thought is "Please no more cutesyness and little girls giggling and doing silly little girl things!". After I had read a review of the Anime detailing what happened in Episode 3, I figured I would check it out. It started off interesting, but once I got to episode 3 I was hooked and the rest of the episodes kept getting ...Read more
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful:Will blow your mind!Another magical girl anime right? not quite. Slow start, in fact had to give the first episode a second chance because just seemed so typical. Until it really turned into something else. Think, cardcaptor meets count of monte cristo and paprika. Beautifully animated, really cute magical girls, and a gripping story. If you liked tweeny witches or any other magical girl series you'll like this.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Mind blowing and great.To those of you who watched the first episode and thought "Oh, well this is just a typical magic girl cutesy type of thing." You are all too wrong. The storyline for this is amazing, it gets dark fast and I'm not allowed to explain how. You just have to give it a chance. Like everyone here says, watch until episode 3, you'll be begging for more. I know I was.Read more
So yes, overall 5/5, there' a few ...
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful:This is one of my favorite animes of all time!Its hard to review this anime without giving away the shocking parts of it, but I will say this; Once you watch episode 3, you will realize this is no ordinary magical girl series. The first few episodes, the OP and even the commercials all make this show out to be the typical, overly cute magical girl thing, but it isn't. All I wanted when I started watching this was a sweet, fun anime for little ...Read more

. . . I'll leave you to your own inferences . . .
This show begins with the usual frilly, magical girls stuff.

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Amazing magical girl anime ;OI always thought this anime would be like all the other anime with
cute girls rescuing the day and defeating the evil boss at the end.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is not something like that!!!
I don't want to ruin this anime, so WATCH IT!!!
I almost cried at the end!
Don't treat this anime like Pretty Cure or
Magical Doremi.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:A brilliant deconstructionPuella Magi Madoka Magica is one of the real gems from last year's anime, and stands on its own as a true classic. The art direction is phenomenal, gorgeous backgrounds and inspiring architecture set the mood of an idyllic world, while disturbingly psychedelic interludes reveal the darker truths that lie beneath. The story is outstanding, deconstructing the often absurdly optimistic magical girl ...Read more

U Decide is a new development linked to Locality Planning, to generate ideas and allocate funding in Aberdeen. This approach is called Participatory Budgeting (PB) which directly involves local people in making decisions about how public money is spent in their community.PB was first introduced in Brazil in 1989 and its tools and principles are now used in many places across the world, including the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe.PB aims to engage residents, community groups and representatives from all parts of the community to discuss priorities, make spending proposals that will benefit the community or solve a particular issue, and then to vote on them.

Beyond Perception 15
University of Aberdeen
Deadline: 01 June 2015 at 12:00
The University of Aberdeen warmly invites you to submit artistic proposals to the
multidisciplinary symposium Beyond Perception 15, to be held in Aberdeen from 1
September until 4 September 2015. The symposium, aptly titled Beyond Perception
15, addresses the anthropologist Tim Ingold's work over the last fifteen years, since
the publication of his prominent book The Perception of the Environment in 2000. The
symposium will cover five main themes, including i) Humans, Animals, Environment; ii)
Sensibilities Beyond Science; iii) Experiment, Experience, Education; iv) Creativity,
Correspondence, and Description; v) Movement, Becomings, and Growth. As a
innovative interdisciplinary event that brings together anthropologists, architects, and
social sciences with dancers, visual artists and filmmakers we want to give as much
prominence to the non-textual and creative as possible. With this in mind we are
seeking proposals for non-textual work that offers something to the conversation and
dialogue that our conference themes touch upon.
2D and 3D work would be welcome, as well as auditory, visual and performative
pieces. There will be space available to exhibit both inside the conference venue and
outside. Please get in touch with the Beyond Perception team
(email@example.com) if you wish to submit a proposal. Each proposal
should contain a title and description of the work (maximum length 250 words), a
current CV, and up to six images of the work to be shown, as well as any specific
installation (spatial, technical) requirements that you may have. Deadline for proposals
is June 1st 2015.
Location: Aberdeenshire
For further information, please contact email@example.com (Elizabeth A. Hodson), or visit http://www.abdn.ac.uk/socsci/disciplines/anthropology/beyond-perception.php
The deadline is Monday 01 June 2015 at 12:00.

Board Member – Creative Scotland
April 15, 2015
Board Member – Creative Scotland
Creative Scotland is the public body responsible for supporting the arts, screen and creative industries across Scotland. We distribute funding from the Scottish Government and The National Lottery. We also influence attitudes, behaviours and policies that help creative people to thrive. Our goal is to unlock potential and embrace ambition throughout Scotland's creative community.
We are looking for new members to join our Board – the group responsible for overseeing and challenging the work we do. You do not need previous experience of serving on a board. With professional experience in Scotland's creative sector, your insight could make you an ideal candidate. We particularly need people who will bring to the Board a practical knowledge of the creative sector in Scotland, with an understanding of how Scottish arts can progress internationally. We are also looking for people with a particular knowledge or understanding of ethnic minority communities, as this will help us ensure our work reflects a diverse nation.
In addition to passion for the arts, we expect you to demonstrate a range of personal qualities and skills. A collaborative individual with excellent listening and communication skills, you have the confidence to challenge and debate proposals and issues in a constructive way. Comfortable considering the 'big picture' and thinking long-term, you are also able to balance various considerations and make informed decisions.
In the interests of achieving a balanced and representative Board applications are particularly welcome from people currently under represented on Scotland's public bodies such as women, disabled people and people aged under 50.
Made in Aberdeen 2015
April 3, 2015
Aberdeen City Council is committed to supporting the development of arts and culture in the city. The concept of 'Made in Aberdeen' is tied to the recognition that the city is home to a wealth of creative and artistic talent but that both the support and profile of this needs developed. The 'Made in Aberdeen' initiative aim to both increase the support for, and profile of, this talent; It is about having confidence in the city's creative individuals, about nurturing and supporting our talent and finding new ways of showcasing it to a much wider local, national and international audience.
Made in Aberdeen includes the following support initiatives:
Artists' Bursaries
Artists' Commissions
Emerging Talent Prize
Made In Aberdeen Films
Artists' Bursaries – Open for Application

Made in Aberdeen Artists' Bursaries Guidelines 2015
Made In Aberdeen Artists' Bursaries Application Form
Last year's supported artists included dancer and choreographer Katie Milroy, performer Lesley-Ann Hastie, designer Mhairi McDowell, musician Frauke Jurgensen and musician and composer Simon Gall. Simon who received support to develop a new North East influenced music project 'Clype' said of the award,
"The Made in Aberdeen bursary brought this project into existence. I had had an initial seed idea for a while but had no financial resources to develop it so it never grew into anything.
It (the award) enabled me to get the sound I was looking for through enlisting the musical services of the wonderful Jonny Hardie. It also meant that I could take my time in the studio to focus on creating quality music rather taking shortcuts"
Artists' Commissions
Information on the commissioning process coming soon.
Emerging Talent Prize
The Emerging Talent Prize was established in 2013 and aspires to recognise, celebrate and support emerging local cultural and creative talent. The Prize comes with a commission up to the value of £5000 to create and present a new piece of work in any art form and, for those who are nominated, a professional development bursary of £1000. The winner of the 2013 Emerging Talent Prize was Visual Artist Amber Robertson.

I have used the kit papers and flowers.
Lots of masking and Shimmerz in the background.
Scrap FX Butterfly chippy with some Prima Junkyard goodies.
An old hinge to make it all complete.
Well that is is for today…I will be back soon with more kit creations! Stop on by the Flying Unicorn store and grab you kit fast before they are all gone! Take care and Happy Scrapping!
