Property rights vs. wind farms
Illinois, Bureau County, and my neighbors sold my property rights to the wind farm. The proposed wind farm in which my property is included has control of my privately-owned property. I have to ask for permission to build a house or a barn on my own land. I have been to informational and zoning meetings and never told my property rights were compromised, or that I would be restricted for the loss of freedom to use my property as I wish.
I, like everyone else, would have not known this had I not called the Bureau County Zoning Office looking to build a home. I called the zoning to see what was needed in permits, expecting to learn setback rules for a house because we are in the proposed Walnut Ridge Wind Farm. What I was told was all the standards, clear it with zoning, clear it with neighbors, but I also have to get permission from the wind farm. With some checking around, I have found out that not only is this standard procedure for wind farms to have control, but it is also standard to be denied any kind of building. Structures within wind farms may interfere with wind flow, standard excuse for denial. A grandmother in Livingston County, in a proposed wind farm, has been denied and is now appealing to build on the family farm. How do private companies backed by tax dollars control and regulate the use of private property without agreement or compensation to the legal owners?
Wind farms change hands often. Their headquarters are often in foreign countries. When they have offices locally, nothing is done in a timely manner. The wind farm that controls my land is not even built. Who knows who will end up owning it? How long will red tape hold up my project? Could they turn me down? Why did my county and my state not protect my property rights? How do foreign companies deal with American property rights? Why was I not informed and properly compensated for becoming part of a wind factory?

World looks to Bernanke to clarify stimulus plans
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jittery investors will be shining the spotlight on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke this week, looking for clues on interest rate policy.
Financial markets have been gyrating in the 3½ weeks since Bernanke told Congress the Fed might scale back its effort to keep long-term rates at record lows within "the next few meetings"— earlier than many had assumed.
The Fed's policy meeting is this week and Bernanke will answer questions when it's done.
Bernanke has cautioned that the Fed would slow its support only if it felt confident the job market would show sustained improvement.
Yet investors were left puzzled and spooked by a mixed message. Fear spread that the Fed would soon slow its $85 billion-a-month in bond purchases. Many worried that a pullback in the bond purchases could boost long-term rates, trigger a stock selloff and perhaps weaken the economy.

12.3.13 Ferragamo-Inspired Art by Tim Marrs
Tim Marrs created two pieces for Salvatore Ferragamo's Los Angeles pop-up shop. "A handful of artists were asked to make images that were based on classic Ferragamo designs; I chose a pair of unalike bracelets and using them as a starting point, I put my own spin on it, keeping California in mind," said Marrs. "The first played with substitution – the jewelry reminded me of an infinity pool, so I set that against the L.A. landscape." His second submission combined a more literal representation of the luxury item and urban grittiness. "I wasn't expecting them to go for it," Marrs admitted, "but they were rather happy."He began by spray-painting canvases and brought the backdrops and miscellaneous elements into Photoshop to put them together. The completed works went on display as part of the "Hollywood Experience" exhibition in the store, which is situated in the newly opened Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. One was shown on an interactive screen and the other was printed and placed with an exclusive line of accessories. "It was challenging to not be overly concerned with the Ferragamo aesthetic and to have faith in my process," Marrs remarked. "It ended up being good fun because it was such a loose brief … I tried to let go a bit and hopefully that comes through in the imagery." Ferragamo's L.A. pop-up shop closes December 22. -
12.5.13 Tom Corbett's 'Grand Tradition' for the Somerset Collection
Tom Corbett traveled – by ferry, and with his team and equipment in tow – to Mackinac Island for the holiday issue of Somerset Collection magazine. The Grand Hotel, located in the 3.8-square-mile city between Michigan's peninsulas, provided a magnificent backdrop for "Grand Tradition," one of Corbett's fashion stories in the edition. "The theme of this year's holiday magazine is classics – elements that remain forever – and there's a huge sense of tradition at the Grand Hotel," pointed out Kathy Moore, creative director. "Guests still have to dress in a very formal way for dinner and there's other customs; however, the space is world-famous and has been photographed again and again, so we wanted to bring a new, modern perspective. Tom shot it in a way that it appears unknown to most people." Moore and Corbett scouted much of the island ahead of the two-day shoot and storyboarded enough frames to convey the full Mackinac experience. "At each and every location, Tom surprised me with the level he's able to take it to," Moore remarked. "He photographed in diverse areas – some were interior, dark hallways and a lot were outside, even in the water. A member of his crew stood in the cold water outside of the frame to get the correct lighting for the picture of the model standing on the rocks." She called the photographer innovative and open to other's ideas, noting: "For the image of the girl laying in the hay, where it looks like the sun is coming in through the sides of the stable, it's actually artificial. There's artistry in that." Interestingly, the team had to traverse the island using horses and buggies. "There are no automobiles on Mackinac, so we moved the equipment with those," Moore said. "The Grand Hotel refers to them as 'taxis.' "Credits:Stylist: Cannon at Judith CaseyHair: George Ortiz at B&AMakeup: Keiko Sudo at Bryan Bantry -
12.4.13 Jesse Nemeth Sets the Stage for Sandra Bullock
Entertainment Weekly restaged Howell Conant's iconic portrait of Grace Kelly – this time, leading lady Sandra Bullock pulls apart the drapery – with the help of set designer Jesse Nemeth. "We were looking for something that communicated both old Hollywood glamour and also had a celebratory, almost backstage feel to it," explained Aeriel Brown, EW's senior associate photo editor. "I happened upon the photo of Kelly and .. . we loved the white curtains and thought they were a classy way to create that behind-the-scenes, entertainer feel." Nemeth provided an ornate chaise and other furnishings for the shoot that resulted in a minimalist and relaxed aesthetic. "It was a real challenge to find something that felt special – the Entertainer of the Year is an honor – but that could also make for a situation where Sandra could lounge," Brown said. She added that the team discussed at length how the various fabrics would appear on camera: "We needed something that had a slight sheen to it and we knew that there were a lot of reds and whites with the wardrobe, so we had a lot of conversations about colors."

11.27.13 Photographer Marcus Bleasdale Turns Spokesman for Canon
B&A's Marcus Bleasdale stepped in front of the camera for Canon's Support Matters campaign. "Canon wanted to find a photographer who had switched to its system and would like to discuss the reasoning," said Bleasdale. "I put together a proposal showing why I made the change, what type of impact it had on my work as a photojournalist, and how Canon's support had saved – quite literally – my career at certain points." Bleasdale was one of three artists selected by the brand; aside from his self-portrait, he captured fashion and beauty photographer Gabrielle Revere, another "spokesperson," for her advertisement. He also sat for a short video testimonial, which features footage of him and his gear, along with several of his images. Following some laughter, he described himself as uncomfortable during his photo shoot. "I was thinking, 'Do I make people feel like this all of the time?' But it was great fun and very educational. I'm used to working on my own, in the bush in Africa, and for this, I was on the streets of New York City surrounded by 40 people," Bleasdale remarked. However, he didn't hesitate to speak of his loyalty to Canon. "It's rewarding to be able to engage with the products you use every day and share how much they mean to you, because they do mean a lot," he noted. "These cameras and lenses built the foundations of my business and I love using them, so the campaign was a fantastic opportunity to talk about it." -
12.4.13 We Are The Rhoads Introduce the Moto X
The Rhoads spent ten days working on location in San Francisco with Motorola's Moto X, the only smartphone assembled in the U.S. "Motorola wanted to target the millennial demographic, so we put together a bunch of different scenarios – including a rooftop party, a beach day, some street shots, and a design agency-like environment," said Sarah Rhoads. "The phones didn't have to be the focus of the photo, as you can see. It was more about capturing that youthful, fun energy."She and Chris created a campaign full of Rhoads-style irreverence (a sunglasses-clad gentleman jumps over a record-store counter, a girl lays across a rug and next to a pineapple, a partygoer puts on her shutter shades) while remaining true to the brief: "We showed cool people using their phones in everyday life." Though it goes without mentioning, the duo was also sensitive to the client's needs. "It was a very, very top secret project and we were shooting in public spaces," Chris explained. "It was about finding a happy balance between working on location and still being able to achieve spectacular and surprising imagery." -
12.2.13 Douglas Friedman Covers December's Elle Decor
Douglas Friedman photographed Elle Decor's Designer Visions showhouse, an Alessandra Branca-designed urban family duplex in a converted 1920s Manhattan office tower, for the magazine's December issue. "I haven't worked with Alessandra before and I think it's rare to have such great chemistry with someone in that kind of creative capacity," remarked Friedman. "We share a similar perspective and it was as though she put together the different scenes for the camera; she has an awareness of how a photographer perceives what she does. That the piece was used as the December cover story was confirmation of our artistic relationship ... and it's my first cover for Elle Decor, so I can check that off of my bucket list."The space in N.Y.C.'s Walker Tower with windows from east to west, a large living room, a kitchen, a dining room, a library, a master suite, a guest suite, and two additional bedrooms is presently home to ... no one. "Shooting a room devoid of people, who would typically be the foci, comes with challenges," the photographer explained. "Everything needs to be considered – the stitches on a lampshade, the arrangement of books on a shelf, the direction of the rug fibers, and each curtain fold or sheet wrinkle. I thrive on that sort of attention to detail; it's not simply sticking a camera in the corner and you make a picture." -
12.3.13 ilovedust Lights Up Time Out New York
ilovedust nabbed the most recent cover of Time Out New York. "We were asked to create some typography to promote exciting things to do in New York City," the team explained by e-mail. "As these events were going to provide more of an insight into classic New York rather than usual tourist attractions, we thought it would be cool to make a vintage neon sign ... but we wanted it to have character and not appear too rusty or abandoned." They looked to Coney Island placards for inspiration. After laying out the type in Cinema 4D – "this gave us a base to work on, with realistic angles, lighting, and shadows" – ilovedust added the details, textures, and cityscape in Photoshop. "We made several different variations that experimented with color schemes and variations on the city in the background," ending up with the final version, on newsstands through December 4.

Remember that the advertising you see at this site pays a living for somebody......
I suppose the concept of free speech exists, just not in places where someone else is paying for the space that your words take.

The subject of women in music is a diverse and far-reaching discipline. Therefore, when thinking about women's contributions to music it is important to recognize the many differences among women. Women from different classes and races, different places and historical periods have different experiences expressing themselves through music. Yet women are linked by the way in which society constructs an identity for them because of their gender, and by the boundaries and expectations that society creates for their participation in musical life.
Women have participated in music throughout history though their involvement has all too often been forgotten. Remembering and acknowledging their achievements can enrich our understanding and bring us to a clearer picture of the history of musical endeavor. This pathfinder is a tool which aims to facilitate such an understanding, particularly for an audience of people with little or no formal training in music.
This pathfinder is primarily designed to assist those researchers outside of the field of music find their way around standard music resources. Students and faculty in History, Anthropology, English, and Sociology and related programs in cultural studies will find this pathfinder a useful introduction to basic music sources as well as a pointer to more specific aspects of women and music. This guide may also be useful to those students and faculty in the Music curriculum who would like to integrate more information about women in their research and teaching. It can also provide an introduction to the resources available locally for incoming students and newly hired Duke faculty interested in this area of study and teaching. Although this pathfinder is specific to the music resources available at Duke, it may prove useful to others outside of the Duke community, since many of the sources listed here will be available throughout other libraries.
The bulk of the material available on women in music at Duke University is located in the Music Library, and so a general overview of the Library's set-up is given below. Perkins Library, which is the main library at Duke, along with several branch libraries, such as Lilly Library, the Divinity School Library, the Rubenstein Library all have texts crucial to this pathfinder as well. And so, to prevent any confusion, the library where a given item can be found is listed in front of its call number.
The materials listed in this pathfinder are divided into a general introduction to resources followed by specific listings grouped according to musical genre. Each genre section is further divided into texts, sound recordings, scores, videos and archival collections or a subset thereof. The size of these sections is roughly proportional to the breadth of the collections at Duke and should give researchers an idea of what they will find. Also included is a list of resources beyond Duke, available from Duke via telecommunications, on the topic of women in music.
The history of women's work as composers and musicians tells a story of perseverance in the face of widespread belief that writing and performing music was simply not something that women should or could do. Similarly doing research in the field of women in music is challenging and will require persistence. But, many treasures await the industrious researcher at Duke and beyond.
This bibliography has been prepared based on the sources available in the Duke University Libraries System. Many of the titles listed in this pathfinder may be available in your own local public or university library (although the call numbers listed may not work in your library). If a particular title is not available in your local library, ask your reference librarian to order it for you through the Inter-Library Loan system.

Take the case of the PBX—on-premise equipment and systems have become increasingly complex and unwieldy to support and upgrade. Cloud-hosted PBX services, in contrast, offer an enticing list of cost-saving IP communications capabilities: Enterprise-class unified communications features (audio-video conferencing, integrated voicemail and email, automatic call forwarding, and more) Integration with other enterprise-class business applications (instant messaging, conference room scheduling, etc.)

What is the easiest way to retrieve data from the database, and convert the data to a JSON String?
Is there any kind of helper class? or am I supposed to loop through the columns in my dataset to create the JSON string?
sample code would be great
You can use the
| |||
Make an array from mySQL, and | ||||
Yes, use PHP's functions to handle JSON encoding. Here's an example I got from this SO question:
| |||
Have you seen the json_encode() function? It takes an array as input and outputs JSON. So the most basic would be a two-dimensional array representing your table as input to json_encode | |||
If you use the json_encode function then you're depending on somebody else's interpretation of the right way to format the json. Which means that you might come out with weird json, or have to contort your classes in evil ways to make the json come out right. Just something to think about. | |||

I use the ONET4201LD for the driving of the laserdiodes.Up to now I have used the circuit described in the datasheet. Also I have connect the BIAS pin to GND with 1nF capacitor.
What is recomended inductor (Type) for the BIAS?If I want to drive the laser diode AC-Couppled, how ist better to do that?
Inductors or ferrite beads can be used, for example the BLM15 series from Murata. which one depends upon the frequency of operation but you want a high resistance over a broad range of frequencies.
I have attached an application note on possible output drive configurations for the part.
Hi Alex,
thank you very much for the reply.
is it possible to get recommended PCB Layout (as a document) for the ONET 4201 LD?
I am sorry but we do not have a PCB layout document.

Highway workers have improved one of the risky turns in the city, at the intersection of the Rowan Street bridge and Bragg Boulevard.
They've added poles to act as a barrier separating traffic coming west down from the bridge and merging onto three-lane Bragg Boulevard, using a "free-flowing" right turn.
Behind The Wheel has written about this turn before.
In a free-flowing right-turn, drivers are not supposed to stop.
But we believe such turns don't work for the modern-day, inattentive driver.
Such turns create two hazards. First, the driver who makes the turn will move too soon into another lane to his left. Second, the drivers coming straight on often will move too soon to the free-flowing lane to their right. The intersection for West Rowan Street comes up right after the free-flow turn, and cars going north on Bragg often go straight into the free-flowing lane to try to make the right onto West Rowan.
Because of this muddle, the principles of defensive driving almost demand that the free-flowing turn be treated by drivers as a "yield." This is what most drivers do anyway because they don't know how to behave at a free-flowing turn (even though the name of the maneuver - which is written on the sign - should make it obvious).
Truckers know how to handle free-flowing turns, so they often find themselves blowing at some tiny car stopped cold at the turn in front of them.
The new poles solve all of these problems at once.
Good to see that someone in our transportation bureaucracy is using the old noodle.
Speaking of the Rowan Street and Bragg Boulevard intersection: A public hearing is set for Monday on the design of the bridge replacement.
The long-range project would radically reconfigure the intersection and connect up Bragg Boulevard and Murchison Road.
The hearing is set for 4 to 7 p.m. at the Airborne & Special Operations Museum at 100 Bragg Blvd. Officials with the N.C. Department of Transportation will be available to answer questions and get feedback. For information, call Jamille Robbins at 919-707-6085 or email email@example.com.

Triclosan, a common anti-bacterial agent used in soaps, toothpastes, hand sanitizers, fabrics and plastics, has been shown to affect muscle tissue's strength and blood flow in mice, implicating its safety and effectiveness for use in humans.
Neurotoxicologist Isaac Pessah, Ph.D., at the University Of California Davis School Of Veterinary Medicine, made the surprising discovery after researching other chemicals that can affect the nervous system.
Triclosan interferes with the way that the muscles contract, according to research Pessah published Aug. 13 in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

Ordered basic 13 channel for $15/month, but when the service dude came out and hooked up cable, the high channel filter made the picture staticy, so he left it off, and now I have 100 channels for $15. All I need is to descramble them movie channels!

with internet you need some good antivirus , and there is something which is most viruses not work on vista , xp died quick without antivairus
What are you people doing to get sick? I only do maybe if im lucky 1 or 2 times a year and hardly any bad ones...last bad one maybe 2 years now? Not like I haven't downloaded either. I really really want to know how you are getting infected.....do you do windows updates? do you torrent that much(even then I never have gotten sick...)? Where did you get your last one at? really!
Yup I am in the same boat. I reformat every 3-6 months and I never have viruses. Maybe a few when I scan but I don't really keep up with the updates..
I'll run a scan it will be months...U people have seen how I run this machine stuff everywhere.... NOTING I'll install another one noting. It's crazy! because everyone talks like they catch stuff A LOT.
The last viruses is had in my pc was like 2-3 years ago... on my gaming rig a NEVER use av programs and on my internet rig i use Kaspersky but it's not enabled all the time
I swear it's MS have so for years.....I think they make them to break pirated soft and then they spread like roaches.
+1, I haven't had a virus in over 5 years and I'm heavy into pron and torrents It's all about knowing how to use your PC. I own a PC business and it astounds me the crap people have on their computers and they wonder why half the shit doesn't work or they have viruses...
I just had to laugh at that. I think Ill put it in my Sig as a quote. I use Nod 32 AV and if they get it working, Ill have Threatfire too. It doesnt work on 64 bit systems right now though.
I havnt either shouldnt say anything though as ill most likely get a virus later tonight now that i have lol.
Until everyone gets the point and uses NOD32 Or basically until "I think I have a virus, yet I have no AV" or related threads are a thing of the past.
I have Kaspersky, but I never turn it on. I only use it occasionally for an on-demand scan of a suspicious download or file and the occasional system scan. The protection is never on at all. I haven't had a virus in years, and I surf a lot of porn and torrents. lol. It's all about knowing what sites you can trust.
Linux is good for browsing/watching porn sites. No need for an antivirus/antispyware/anticrap to safely browse them either
Haven't had a virus since SP3 , then got a nasty virtumonde infection over the weekend- totally random while browsing innocent websites. Nothing I had could take it out (including nod32 and my manual removals... I just couldn't find all of it... so many files....). Malwarebytes' anti-malware got rid of it in the end. Better than spybot and adaware in my opinion- and I used to love them.
I run avast. Works very well for a freeware. I've been surfing for a lot of years and have not ever had a serious virus. Guess I've been lucky.
The number 1 statement, I don't download anything, I NEVER watch porn... Anyways, Avira also has a TON of false positives in testing... But either way 150,000 is insane, most I have ever pulled is like 65k. Antivirus, I'm a Kaspersky/Nod32 guy. Personally I run Nod32 or nothing at all.

Browsing Scholarship of Teaching & Learning by Author "Lowther, Michael"

Lowther, Michael; McMillan, Wendy (Actuarial Society of South Africa, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper presents a model for what is termed Lifelong Professionalisation Learning for actuaries. The model is grounded on the proposition that professions are dynamic, offering the public varying quantities and qualities of professional aspects over time. The overall curriculum for the model is derived by ordering these aspects into cognitive, normative and organisational strands. Different aspects of the curriculum need to be addressed at the different stages of an actuary's career. Delivery of the curriculum may take many forms, and should be planned by national actuarial associations under the guidance of an education expert.

Paula Deen Accused of Making Racist Remarks
Paula Deen has been accused of making racist comments, and her brother Earl W. "Bubba" Hiers has been charged with exhibiting sexist behaviors at a restaurant co-owned by Deen and Bubba in Savannah, Georgia.
Lisa Jackson, a former employee of Paula Deen Enterprises, alleges the celebrity chef said the following while planning Bubba's wedding, reported Gawker.com:
"Well what I would really like is a bunch of little n***ers to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties, you know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around. Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it? But we can't do that because the media would be on me about that."
Jackson says she first served as a hostess at Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House in 2005. Within six months, she was promoted to general manager, reported Courthouse News. She says Bubba harassed her relentlessly for five years.
"In addition to inescapable pornography he brought to the workplace, Bubba Hiers' harassing and abusive comments were often loud and without apparent concern for customers, vendors, staff or anyone else near him," the complaint states.
But Deen's law firm says Jackson's lawsuit "makes false allegations against Paula Deen and they will be proven false in court," reported The Huffington Post. Attorneys for Deen said Jackson made false claims after Deen refused to pay her to stay quiet.
The star of the Food Network show Paula's Home Cooking was recently criticized for announcing on the Today Show that she has type 2 diabetes and has known for three years. During her public disclosure, she plugged the pharmaceutical brand Novo Nordisk. She is a paid spokesperson for the drug company. She also took the opportunity to introduce her new website "Diabetes in a New Light," created in partnership with the makers of the diabetes medication.
Deen claimed on the Today Show that she regularly eats healthy food—when not producing her TV show segment and preparing "southern cooking" like burgers sandwiched between doughnuts.
Nonetheless, while on a seven-day Caribbean cruise in January, the 65-year-old chef was caught gorging on a cheeseburger and fries.

I'm sure she's not the only white person who's said something colorful & nobody got offended & reported it. And I'm sure that there's been some black cooks that have said noncolorful stuff about white ppl that hasn't been reported & I'm biracial. There's def more 2 this story.

After five years of dating, Jeffrey McKee proposed to Katherine Bakker in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. The couple decided to hold their nuptials on the sprawling grounds of Katy's parents' 1,000-acre plantation on the Combahee River. With a year and a half to plan, the pair looked to the property for inspiration. "It was once filled with rice fields, so there are birds everywhere. And since I've always loved feathers, it seemed fitting to go with an avian theme," says Katy, an art consultant.
Here, the couple pose under an oak tree dripping with moss. The groom sports a suit by Grady Ervin; the bride is wearing a Carol Hannah gown and veil.
A quail feather embellishes each save-the-date, and the envelope liners feature bird drawings from an Audubon book. Guests were given rice to toss at the newlyweds -- a fitting touch for a celebration on a former rice plantation. Simple, sophisticated invitations hint at the pastel palette. The wedding planners surprised the couple with monogrammed thank-you notes. Reception cards were letterpressed onto silk-backed wood veneer.
"Audubon's Birds of America: The Audubon Society Baby Elephant Folio" doubled as a guest book.

(En español: Ataque de asma)
Say: az-muh flare-up
A person who has asthma may go through times when he or she breathes just fine or has only a little trouble. But when a person has a lot of trouble with wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath, it's called an asthma flare-up, or attack. Stuff like allergies, a cold, cigarette smoke, exercise, or even cold air can trigger an asthma flare-up.

In a products liability design defect action, evidence establishing the defectiveness of a product is paramount to a plaintiff's case. Some jurisdictions require the plaintiff to bear the burden of offering evidence of a safer design (often defined as a "reasonable alternative design" or "feasible alternative design"). Similarly, plaintiffs may be required to produce evidence that a manufacturer of an allegedly defective product was on notice of the product's defect and failed to remedy the product. Often, the potential evidence, for either side, that is available through the teachings of patents is overlooked. Conducting a patent search and an investigation of the state of the patent art may yield fruitful evidence regarding the defect or relative safety of the product at issue in a products liability action. But first some background to set the environment for how patents become patents.

Even the most ardent historian, male or female—citing Amazons and tribal matriarchies and Cleopatra—can't conceal that women have basically done fuck all for the last 100,000 years. Come on—let's admit it. Let's stop exhaustingly pretending that there is a parallel history of women being victorious and creative, on an equal with men, that's just been comprehensively covered up by The Man. There isn't. Our empires, armies, cities, artworks, philosophers, philanthropists, inventors, scientists, astronauts, explorers, politicians and icons could all fit, comfortably into one of the private karaoke booths in SingStar. We have no Mozart; no Einstein; no Galileo; no Ghandi. No Beatles, no Churchill, no Hawking, no Columbus. It just didn't happen.
Nearly everything so far has been the creation of men—and a liberal, right-on denial of it makes everything more awkward and difficult in the long run. Pretending that women have had a pop at all this before but ultimately didn't do as well as the men, that the experiment of female liberation has already happened but floundered gives strength to the belief that women simply aren't as good as men, full stop. That things should just carry on as they are—with the world shaped around, and honouring, the priorities, needs, whims, and successes of men. Women are over, without having even begun. When the truth is that we haven't even begun at all. Of course we haven't. We'll know it when we have.
~Caitlin Moran
Do you agree or disagree with the above sentiment and statements, and why or why not?
NOTE: I'll be contrarian in the discussion, both because I find it fun, and also because echo chambers are boring.
It's not being covered up, suppressed, or oppressed. There is no conspiracy and I'm certainly not advocating that there is. It's simple cause and effect of societal factors that have led to a lack of notable contributions from women throughout human history dating back to the earliest tribal cultures to explain why we are a predominately patriarchal culture. These factors are so prevalent that they affect what constitutes our definition of a notable contribution. Maybe there were notable contributions that were just overlooked because they weren't deemed notable enough. As they say, history belongs to the victors, so too does it belong to those who merely write it. To that end we'll never know for sure.
Moran seems to be saying that since women can make contributions in certain fields now and that there were some exceptions in the past, that it is only women who have themselves to blame for not doing "better." It's the same argument that says someone who commits a crime is just a bad person and overlooks the societal factors that help create a criminal. Is the criminal responsible for not following the law? Yes. Is any woman responsible for not pushing the boundaries of what she is deemed acceptable women's work? Yes, the same as it would be for any individual, but despite personal responsibility, if we want to understand why they choose to do what they do, we have to understand the influence of society on the individual and how it helps make people who they are and what they do.
The burden of evidence is on both parties, it just seems to congregate more on this side rather than hers.
And yet, there seem to be fields where even in today's less bigoted climate women don't seem to show much originality. Talent, yes, but originality no. Architecture, philosophy, symphony composition. No client is going to turn down a major architectural design and choose an inferior one because the better one was done by a woman. Off the top of my head, I am unaware of much groundbreaking philosophy done by women. Ditto for symphonies, though there are several excellent female conductors. Let's stop pretending the sexes are more the same than they actually are. Women aren't inferior, but they show their talent in different areas.
Perceptual psychologists have discovered rather strong differences between the way men and women perceive and process perceptions. For example, men are better at creating and maintaining a mental map of an area and navigate by that map. A woman will tend to remember her way by landmarks. "To get to the school I drive up Main St and turn left at the Sunoco station, right at Mimi's Diner and then the school is two blocks up on the left." The male counterpart is driving through a map in his head. Of course, these are tendencies, not hard and fast totally discrete differences.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question You are creating an echo chamber by using loaded and leading questions that are formulated to make anyone in disagreement look stupid or anti-women or men.
You have also set-up a hostile environment for a "discussion" by stating that you will be a contrarian. You should have said you want to just start a fight with no winners just for the fun of fighting. I will not play in your manipulative mind games. I don't find that enjoyable.
If you want to have a more positive discussion that is not blatantly insulting to both women and men, then I will participate but until then, "enjoy" your arbitrarily created little fight.
So don't create discussion around a somewhat controversial issue. Gotcha. And having read through the thread I haven't really seen any hostility. In general debates on this site may get heated, but I haven't come across much hostility - unless you define disagreeing as hostility.
The quote itself is lifted from the book "How to be a Woman", written by a highly regarded woman, and the title reflects it target audience being women. Saying that it's insulting reflects more on you, apparently those poor and weak women need to be sheltered from uncomfortable statements in your world.
I unfortunately have to head off to work, so my weekend of being a contrarian just became a lot more difficult. You can have your wish in that regards. :)
I'm only insulted by your misogynistic and dismissive attitude and choice of a cherry picked quote that is obviously out of context. Nothing less and nothing more than that.
You seem to like to use logical fallacies like this:
"So don't create discussion around a somewhat controversial issue. Gotcha."
AND this crap you said:
"Saying that it's insulting reflects more on you, apparently those poor and weak women need to be sheltered from uncomfortable statements in your world."
I will use your own way of asking a question and see how it makes you feel.
Women's history?! That's fairly innane, history is a science and that is akin to "Women's physics". I dare you to tell my sisters that women don't have normal history...
While special pleading is cute, you may wish to stack one side against the other, which is what Moran did and offered you her conclusion.
A strawman would be me putting words in your mouth that you didn't say. You went in to defend women, I made the statement that it wasn't necessary or asked for, and quite insulting in my view. Women can defend themselves quite well without your help, and they are much more likely to attack the argument than the man, as evidenced elsewhere in this thread.
Yeah, I think I'm done with this thread. Feeding a barking dog only stops the barking long enough for it to swallow.
The conversation reminds me of the ugly, in class, harrangs offered to the male students in a Feminist Theory class I took years ago. Guys were labled 'bastards' in the class, all eight of us, and were dared to 'prove' otherwise!
Again, someone's shit stinks. Watching my father abuse family and friends because 'he was a MAN, and women were second class citizens', gave me a deep incentive to look at my own life and beliefs. Forcing anyone to measure up, or making them feel worthless, is ugly. Taking some obvious ugly position, just to see how much heat can be generated, just more of the same.
Okay, go find discussions that don't make you uncomfortable. Meaningful discussions generally do make some people uncomfortable, however, or they would have been discussed out long ago.
Sadly, Unseen, this is not one of thoughs conversations. This is a fool useing the Strawman fallacy, and you falling for it!
Jehanne de'Arc (Joan of Arc) is certainly a woman of the past whose convictions and abilities cannot be denied. It is ironic though that her faith in jesus was unable to prevent her demise by men of jesus.
In the 21st century the contributions of women to all fields of study will become increasingly prominent. The Bronze Age shackles of misogyny are rapidly falling away. You go, girl!

Presumed, alleged, or supposed.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Commonly believed, supposed, or claimed. For example, a putative father is one believed to be the father unless proved otherwise; a putative marriage is one that is accepted as legal when in reality it was not lawful (for example, due to failure to complete a prior divorce).

COLUMBIA (WACH)-Despite fiscal uncertainty in Washington, the state of South Carolina has committed financial reources to protect federal military installations within the state.
Tuesday, members from the Military Base Task Force presented a $50,000 to the City of Columbia to support their ongoing base- preservation effotrs. Three additional communities, Beaufort, Charleston and Sumter also recieved a $50,000 check this week for a total of $200,000 distributed.
State Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom, chairman of the task force, says South Carolina's military installations contribute greatly to the state's economy and to national security.
"We have a good story to tell our congressional delegation, a good story to tell our department of defense officials when we go to Washington DC," says Eckstrom "and [we] can hold South Carolina's military installations out as installations not only that continue to do their jobs well but that could be expanded."
Across-the-board federal spending cuts, known as "sequestration," began being implemented last week. The cuts are expected to total $85 billion this fiscal year and approxiamately $1 trillion over the next decade.
The military is slated to absorb half of them, on top of nearly $500 billion in other cuts in military funding previously authorized.

We have a long-track record of working in the Southeast Asian peat swamp forests; tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical moist forests with thick layers of acidic peat. They make up 60% of the world's tropical peatlands, but are being rapidly lost and are in urgent need of protection and rehabilitation.
Peat swamp forests represent approximately 12% of the Southeast Asian land area, equaling more than 27 million hectares, of which 83% is situated in Indonesia. Peat thickness in Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan and Papua) ranges from less than one meter to over 12 meters, in some places even 20 meters.
Southeast Asian peatland forests are among the last vast tracks of rainforest in the region. These areas are of particular importance for the survival of the Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo abelii), Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), Sumatran Rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), as well as the lesser-known rare species such as the White-winged Duck (Cairina scutulata), Storm's Stork (Ciconia stormi), and False Gavial (Tomistoma schlegelii) whose small populations are mainly restricted to the peat swamp forests.
