From WikiLove - The Encyclopedia of Love
A selfie (/ˈselfiː/) [1] is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often shared on social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. They are usually flattering and made to appear casual. Most selfies are taken with a camera held at arm's length or pointed at a mirror, rather than by using a self-timer.
Robert Cornelius, an American pioneer in photography, produced a daguerreotype of himself in 1839, which is also one of the first photographs of a person. Because the process was slow, Cornelius could initiate the exposure by removing the lens cap before taking a seat in front of the camera for a minute. He then simply put the lens cap back.[2] He recorded on the back "The first light Picture ever taken. 1839."[2][3]
The debut of the portable Kodak Brownie box camera in 1900 led to photographic self-portraiture becoming a more widespread technique. The method was usually with the use of a mirror and stabilizing the camera either on a nearby object or on a tripod while framing via a viewfinder at the top of the box.[4] Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna at the age of 13 was one of the first teenagers to take her own picture using a mirror to send to a friend in 1914. In the letter that accompanied the photograph, she wrote, "I took this picture of myself looking at the mirror. It was very hard as my hands were trembling."[5]
The earliest usage of the word selfie has been traced to 2002, when it first appeared in an Australian internet forum (ABC Online) on 13 September in a comment written by Nathan Hope: "Um, drunk at a mates 21st, I tripped over and landed lip first (with front teeth coming a very close second) on a set of steps. I had a hole about 1 cm long right through my bottom lip. And sorry about the focus, it was a selfie."[6][7] As with other new technologies, the protocols and etiquette for taking and disseminating selfies remains under development, with appropriate use a matter for consideration.[8]
In 2014, mobile device maker Huawei trademarked the term "groufie" in connection with panoramic, "group" selfies.[9]
The term "selfie" was discussed by photographer Jim Krause in 2005,[10] although photos anticipating some of the formal aspects of the selfie can be seen in the self-taken photographs that were particularly common on MySpace. Writer Kate Losse proposes that between 2006 and 2009 (when Facebook became more popular than MySpace), the "MySpace pic" (typically "an amateurish, flash-blinded self-portrait, often taken in front of a bathroom mirror") became an indication of bad taste for users of the newer Facebook social network. Early Facebook portraits, Losse claims in contrast, were usually well-focused and more formal, taken by others from distance. According to Losse, improvements in design—especially the addition of a front-facing camera to the iPhone 4 (2010), mobile photo apps such as Instagram, and selfie sites such as ItisMee—led to the resurgence of selfies in the early 2010s.[11]
Initially popular with young people, selfies gained wider popularity over time.[13][14] By the end of 2012, Time magazine considered selfie one of the "top 10 buzzwords" of that year; although selfies had existed long before, it was in 2012 that the term "really hit the big time".[15] According to a 2013 survey, two-thirds of Australian women age 18–35 take selfies—the most common purpose for which is posting on Facebook.[14] A poll commissioned by smartphone and camera maker Samsung found that selfies make up 30% of the photos taken by people aged 18–24.[16] By 2013, the word "selfie" had become commonplace enough to be monitored for inclusion in the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary.[17] In November 2013, the word "selfie" was announced as being the "word of the year" by the Oxford English Dictionary, which gave the word itself an Australian origin.[18]
Selfies have also taken beyond Earth. Selfies taken in space include those by astronauts,[19] an image by NASA's Curiosity rover of itself on Mars,[20] and images created by an indirect method, where a self-portrait photograph taken on Earth is displayed on a screen on a satellite, and captured by a camera.[21]
In 2011, a crested black macaque stole a wildlife photographer's camera, and when the camera was later recovered it was found to contain hundreds of "selfies", including one of a grinning female macaque. This incident set off an unusual debate about copyright.[22]
In October 2013, Imagist Labs released an iOS app called Selfie, which allows users to upload photos only from their front-facing smartphone camera.[23] The app shows a feed of public photos of everyone's selfies and from the people they follow. The app does not allow users to comment and users can only respond with selfies. The app soon gained popularity among teenagers.
In January 2014, during the Sochi Winter Olympics, a "Selfie Olympics" meme was popular on Twitter, where users took self-portraits in unusual situations.[24] The spread of the meme took place with the usage of the hashtags #selfiegame and #selfieolympics.[25]
In April 2014, the advertising agency iStrategyLabs produced a two-way mirror capable of automatically posting selfies to Twitter, using facial recognition software.[26]
The popularity of selfies in social media has been astounding.[27] Instagram has over 53 million photos tagged with the hashtag #selfie. The word "selfie" was mentioned in Facebook status updates over 368,000 times during a one week period in October 2013. During the same period on Twitter, the hashtag #selfie was used in more than 150,000 tweets.
The appeal of selfies comes from how easy they are to create and share, and the control they give self-photographers over how they present themselves. Many selfies are intended to present a flattering image of the person, especially to friends whom the photographer expects to be supportive.[13][14] However, a 2013 study of Facebook users found that posting photos of oneself correlates with lower levels of social support from and intimacy with Facebook friends (except for those marked as Close Friends).[28] The lead author of the study suggests that "those who frequently post photographs on Facebook risk damaging real-life relationships."[29] The photo messaging application Snapchat is also largely used to send selfies. Some users of Snapchat choose to send intentionally-unattractive selfies to their friends for comedic purposes.
Posting intentionally unattractive selfies has also become common in the early 2010s—in part for their humor value, but in some cases also to explore issues of body image or as a reaction against the perceived narcissism or over-sexualization of typical selfies.[30]
Celebrity selfies
Many celebrities post selfies for their followers on social media. Interesting celebrity selfies are the subject of regular press coverage. Some commentators, such as Emma Barnett of The Telegraph, have argued that sexy celebrity selfies (and sexy non-celebrity selfies) can be empowering to the selfie-takers but harmful to women in general as they promote viewing women as sex objects.[31] Actor and avid selfie poster James Franco wrote an op-ed for The New York Times defending this frequent use of selfies on his Instagram page.[32] Franco defends the self-portrait stating they should not be seen as an egocentric act, but instead a journalistic moment as it cultivates a "visual culture, the selfie quickly and easily shows, not tells, how you're feeling, where you are, what you're doing", much like a photojournalist image.[32] Franco continues:
|And, as our social lives become more electronic, we become more adept at interpreting social media. A texting conversation might fall short of communicating how you are feeling, but a selfie might make everything clear in an instant. Selfies are tools of communication more than marks of vanity (but yes, they can be a little vain).[32]
A selfie orchestrated by 86th Academy Awards host Ellen DeGeneres during the 2 March 2014 broadcast is the most retweeted image ever.[33][34] DeGeneres said she wanted to honor Meryl Streep's record 18 Oscar nominations by setting a new record with her, and invited twelve other Oscar celebrities to join them, which included Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, Kevin Spacey, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Lupita Nyong'o, Jared Leto and Jennifer Lawrence.
Politician selfies
President Barack Obama made news headlines during Nelson Mandela's memorial celebration at the Johannesburg's FNB Stadium with various world leaders, as he was snapped taking a selfie and sharing smiles with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, and later with British Prime Minister David Cameron, as they gathered to pay tribute to Mandela.[35] The decision to take the selfies was considered to be in poor taste, as British political columnist Iain Martin critiqued the behaviour as "clowning around like muppets".[35] The photos also depict the First Lady Michelle Obama sitting next to them looking "furious and mortified".[35] Despite the criticism, Roberto Schmidt, the photographer who captured the photos taken at the celebration, reported to the Today show it was taken at "a jovial, celebratory portion of the service".[36]
In India, BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi posted a selfie on Twitter after voting in Gandhinagar, India. The post became a major trending item on the micro-blogging platform.[37] In July 2014, the Swiss government is the first to take and post a picture of an entire national government (the picture was taken by one of the seven members of the government, Alain Berset).[38]
In popular culture
- In August 2013, The Guardian produced a film series titled Thinkfluencer[39] exploring selfie exposure in the UK.
- In 2013, the word "selfie" was voted as the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year.
- Part of the 2011 Canadian film Happy Slapping (named after the British phenomenon of young people who assault strangers in the street and film it on their smartphones in order to gain internet fame), was re-shot and re-edited to reflect the "selfie" culture. It was re-released in 2014.
- American dance music duo The Chainsmokers released a single #SELFIE in 2014.
- In August 2014, selfie was officially accepted for use in the word game Scrabble[40][41]
- From September to November 2014, the American television sitcom Selfie aired on ABC, telling the story of a woman trying to achieve fame through social media.
- In May 2014, popular Christ the Redeemer selfie was taken in Rio de Janeiro by Lee Thompson, a photographer and co-founder of The Flash Pack travel company.[42]
Psychology and neuroscience
According to a study performed by Nicola Bruno and Marco Bertamini at the University of Parma, selfies by non-professional photographers show a slight bias for showing the left cheek of the selfie-taker.[43] This is similar to what has been observed for portraits by professional painters from many different historical periods and styles,[44] indicating that the left cheek bias may be rooted in asymmetries of brain lateralization that are well documented within cognitive neuroscience. In a second study,[45] the same group tested if selfie takers without training in photography spontaneously adhere to widely prescribed rules of photographic composition, such as the rule of thirds. It seems that they do not, suggesting that these rules may be conventional rather than hardwired in the brain's perceptual preferences.
In April 2014, a man diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder recounted spending ten hours a day attempting to take the "right" selfie, attempting suicide after failing to produce what he perceived to be the perfect selfie.[46] The same month brought several scholarly publications linking excessive selfie posting with body dysmorphic disorder.<scribunto-parser-error>
Impact on technology
A number of gadgets facilitate the taking of selfies. The Nokia 6120 Classic mobile phone, announced in August 2007, included two cameras, one "rear-facing" and one "front-facing" camera mostly intended for video use,[1] but allowing self-portraits as well.[2] In August 2009, Samsung released the Samsung TL225 compact camera (marketed under the name ST550 in Europe) that had a front-facing display to allow image preview while taking self-portraits.[3] In 2013, Samsung presented the Samsung NX300M interchangeable lens camera with a 180 degree tiltable rear display so that the preview could be seen while taking a selfie.[4] Selfie sticks are devices for holding smartphones or compact cameras that allow a wider, more panoramic image capture, as often required when taking a group photograph.

Murderer flips middle finger with both hands as he's executed

A man who fatally shot his three sons while they slept in 1982, shortly after his wife filed for divorce, was executed Tuesday with each of his hands clenched in an obscene gesture.
Reginald Brooks of East Cleveland died at 2:04 p.m., ending a nearly six-month break in the use of capital punishment in Ohio, which often trails only Texas in the number of annual inmate executions.

Romanian agriculture minister pleads for GM soy
Bucharest (AFP) April 6, 2011
Romanian Agriculture Minister Valeriu Tabara on Wednesday said he wanted his country to grow genetically-modified soy, a crop that is not currently allowed by the European Union.
"Romania every year imports about 500,000 tons of GM soy from Brasil, the United States and other countries. It is unacceptable that we are allowed to consume this +poison+ but that we are not allowed to produce it", Tabara said quoted by Romanian news agency Mediafax.
"Romania could grow about two millions of tons of soy. It is the only European country that can grow this plant at an industrial level", the minister added.
Tabara, who is a staunch promoter of GM-crops, underlined that Romania could also grow more GM-maize. The country currently allows the genetically-modified maize MON 810 from US giant Monsanto.
"There is a big chance that we will cultivate GM-crops in the future in Romania because I usually carry out what I start", he said.
Tabara's pro GM-food stands prompted "indignation" from Agent Green, one of the leading environmental NGO in Romania.
"Most of the genetically modified plants create problems for the environment and health", Agent Green said.
In September last year, over 70 environmental NGOs including the WWF called for the sacking of Tabara for his links to the genetically modified crop industry.
Tabara acknowledged he had worked for Monsanto, one of the biggest GM-food producer.
"There is nothing illegal or secret about this", he said then to daily Evenimentul Zilei.
Just two GM-crops are currently authorised in the EU-- a maize strain for animal feed and a potato for paper-making. Decisions on a lengthening list of others are in deadlock.
Seven states -- Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg have banned Monsanto maize cultivation.

I quite honestly adore the double-barrel Mary-Grace. I met an adorable little girl named Mary-Grace at my old job, and it's stuck with me the whole time! I would love to meet another little Mary-Grace. I definitely prefer Sadie Mary Grace, although I do think of the negative connotations with Mary Jane.Ashley

Zac Brown Band Debuts New Single with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl During 2013 CMAs
The Zac Brown Band used the 2013 CMA Awards to debut a brand new song, 'Day for the Dead' with Foo Fighter's singer, Dave Grohl on drums.
The Zac Brown Band used the 2013 CMA Awards to debut a brand new song, 'Day for the Dead' with Foo Fighter's singer, Dave Grohl on drums.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' picks up almost exactly where the first film ended, with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) embarking on a victory tour to celebrate their surviving the Hunger Games and to spread government propaganda and fear. This section of the book (and, we imagine, the movie) is fairly action-free, but still pretty harrowing. A new clip from the film shows that a couple of good actors in a room can be just as exciting as an action scene.
Most of the artists who make the 2013 CMA Awards Worst Dressed list would have benefitted from a quick look in the mirror before stepping out. "Disheveled" is how one could describe a few of these five stars. Suits that don't fit and gowns fit for a first trip to your future mother-in-law's house get noticed for all the wrong reasons. Please, don't try this at home.
There were a few risks, but most of the best dressed country stars at the 2013 CMA Awards leaned traditional on Wednesday night (Nov. 6). Despite the cold and damp forecast, leading ladies opted for sleeveless gowns, while the men went with dark suits and thin neckties (Although, you will find one bow tie on this list). Take a look before checking out the worst dressed from country music's biggest night.
Two scoops of Florida Georgia Line, a pinch of Taylor Swift and heaps of rock-inspired country music turned performances at the 2013 CMA Awards into one surprise after another.
George Strait, the King of Country, reigned supreme at the 2013 CMA Awards, nabbing the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. The legend, who is retiring from active touring next year, was truly surprised by the win, but we weren't. It's doubtful that any of the country superstars at the ceremony were shocked by his win, either.
Luke Bryan brought a stirring rendition of his brand new single 'Drink a Beer' to the 2013 CMA Awards, and was a song -- and performance -- won't be easily forgotten.
Jennifer Nettles introduced the Kenny Rogers tribute at the 2013 CMA Awards (Nov. 6). Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, but before he received his trophy, he enjoyed modern acts performing a medley of his songs before joining him in song.
Darius Rucker had the privilege of closing out the 2013 CMA Awards with his hit 'Wagon Wheel,' perfectly completing the country-filled evening with the classic.
'Nashville' stars Connie Britton and Chip Esten took the 2013 CMA Awards stage to present the Female Vocalist of the Year award to the one and only Miranda Lambert.
The third time is usually the charm in life and superstition, but not for Blake Shelton -- unless, of course, we're speaking solely about his wins as a coach on 'The Voice.' For Shelton and his personal career, four is the magic number, as the singer picked up the Male Vocalist of the Year Award at the 2013 CMA Awards.
Wearing a black t-shirt with an image of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Brad Paisley brought pizzaz to the 2013 CMAs stage with, of course, 'The Mona Lisa.'

In The People's Health, author Robin Marantz Henig brings to life the compelling story of the successes and setbacks of public health. This engaging book documents the expansion of public health from a search for microbes to a global effort to secure a healthful environment--from physician John Snow's breakthrough in cholera prevention in mid-nineteenth-century Britain to the public health crisis emerging today from the war in Bosnia.
Henig explores the multiple perspectives from which public health must be viewed--well illustrated by the medical, behavioral, and social aspects of AIDS. In telling the stories of the wars on malaria, polio, and other diseases, she describes the machinery of public health and highlights the detective work of the early searches for pathogens.
Since mid-century, most disease has related not to epidemics but to personal choices about smoking and eating that can lead to heart disease and cancer. Henig looks at the groundbreaking Framingham Heart Study, running nearly 50 years, from which emerged the concept of risk factors for disease.
The People's Health discusses the link between health and human rights--for example, how legal and cultural practices force many African women into unprotected sex with HIV-infected husbands.
The subtext of The People's Health is the contribution of the Harvard School of Public Health, direct descendent of the first professional training program for public health in America, where many of the advances of the past half-century originated.
Throughout the book, Henig highlights individuals, such as Philip Drinker, who invented the iron lung, and Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine. Also included is the story of Jay Winsten, who, as director of Harvard's Center for Health Communication, imported the designated-driver concept from Sweden and persuaded television's largest production companies to weave it into program plots.
A fast-moving overview of humankind's effort to conquer disease and the public health challenges on the horizon, this volume is a "must read" for anyone concerned about public health.

Newport County vs Mansfield: Stags party over
Posted: February 12, 2013|
Mansfield's four-match winning run was ended as they were beaten 2-0 at Newport County.
The Exiles would have slipped out of the play-off places for the first time this season if they had been beaten, but two second-half goals saw Justin Edinburgh's side move up to fourth.
Mansfield survived on the half-hour mark as first Christian Jolley and then Danny Crow were denied by strong defensive blocks from Luke Jones and John Dempster inside their own area.
Lee Stevenson went close to an opener for the visitors in the 51st minute as his close-range header was tipped over the bar from Lenny Pidgeley.
The Exiles went ahead in the 66th minute from the penalty spot. Lee Beevers brought down Jolley and Andy Sandell fired into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
And Jolley made it 2-0 with 12 minutes left after breaking through the Stags' backline and clipping the ball past Alan Marriott from inside the area.

Checkboxes in JXtreetable
Hello, i would like to create JXtreetable where each item in tree has attached checkbox. I am new to java and swing (swingx) so it is not that easy for me. I found some examples and tried it quite succesfully on jtree but i was unable to get it work on jxtreetable. I know i need to override cell rendered somehow and add custom boolean cell editor or something. I already have my custom model for that table that can store information whether item is checked or not.
Could anybody please help me or point me to the right direction? thank you very much.
Hi, would it be possible to get the password for the demo 'xtreetable_with_checkbox.zip'. Could you please email it to me ? v i c t o r _ b e r t h e t ( a t ) h o t m a i l ( d o t ) c o m.
thanks !
I am unable to login
it asks username and password
can you just pass the source code of " jxtreetable_with_checkbox.zip "
awiting for your response.
in swingx you never ever implement a xxCellRenderer (nor subclass any defaultsomethingrenderer). Instead, implement a custom panel and a custom componentProvider which manages that panel.
BTW, why do you need a panel? The ThreeStateCheckbox should have a text property, at least that's what I would expect :-)
so this way i can made my custom component (lets say panel with my desired coeckbox, label, icon etc.) which will be displayed on every node of tree? Will i be able to listen to checkbox mouseclicks this way? Could you please direct me more specifficaly, i know how overiding renderrer works but i never worked with or heard of that componentprovider, could you please direct me? thank you very much.
Basically what i am trying to accomplish is to display checkboxes in treetable with some icon (like folder or file) and text (like folder/filename) and be able to react on checkbox click. Also, this checkbox needs to be my custom component (which i already have) because i need three state checkbox.
> so this way i can made my custom component (lets say
> panel with my desired coeckbox, label, icon etc.)
> which will be displayed on every node of tree?
sure, if set it as tree cell renderer.
> Will i
> be able to listen to checkbox mouseclicks this way?
no of course not, it's a renderer. Please first understand basic swing (hint: renderer vs. editor)
> Could you please direct me more specifficaly, i know
> how overiding renderrer works but i never worked with
> or heard of that componentprovider, could you please
> direct me? thank you very much.
start with reading the api doc:-) The test hierarchy has some examples for custom providers, look into test classes with suffix "VisualCheck" in the renderer package.
Basically, you do something like:
class MyComponentProvider extends ComponentProvider
// implement the abstract methods, for guidance look into the sources
TreeCellRenderer renderer = new DefaultTreeRenderer(new MyComponentProvider());
Thank you, that seems to work but i am still unable to track mouseclicks on that component. i add mouselistner to mouseclick in constructor of my component but it seems to ignore these clicks. i need to know when checkbox part of component was clicked. is it even possible?
see my article 'when JXTreeTable meets TristateCheckBox'-http://vearn.javaeye.com/blog/319242 (unfortunately it is written in Chinese)
search the keyword 'jxtreetable_with_checkbox.zip' in the page, then download and try the demo(it's a netbeans project)
Message was edited by: vearn
The demo requires a login, could u pls email it to me? j a n a u d y a t y a h o o d o t c o m pls?
Can you tell me the login too?
Or can you provide the sources on an other website?

You need to ensure that the model believe the column is editable. A mouse listener has no effect on a renderer.
The cell is editable but editor is textbox editing text - even if i have boolean type of column and return boolean value. It just lets me edit "true" as string for example.
If it's not the hierarchical column and tablemodel.getColumnClass for the column returns
Boolean.class, it should show a text box.
Having a boolean column and returning a boolean on its own is not enough. You also need
to tell everything it's boolean via getColumnClass in the tablemodel. Your symptoms infer
the editor thinks its a label and is using .toString
If it is the hierarchical column, I'm not sure what happens if you try and make it editable.
Is your hierarchical column a Boolean column?

Then Jonah rose up early to catch a ship flowing out to sea;To the city of Tarshish, he was preparing to flee.He was running from the Lord's commands, and words that he had spoken,So the Lord sent his tempest tides, and Jonah's ship was nearly broken. But, Jonah had gone down to the side of the ship, and there was fast asleep;Then, the shipmaster said,"Pray to your Lord, our lives to safely keep."So, Jonah told the captain to toss him out to sea,For it was his disobedience to the Lord, that caused their awful plea. Then the shipmaster and crew, threw Jonah overboard;And yelled at him as he went down," You're at the mercy of your Lord."But the Lord then sent a giant whale, to swallow Jonah whole,So for three days and nights, the Lord waxed havoc on his soul. Then Jonah begged forgiveness, for disobeying God's commands;While the Lord spoke to the whale, to spit him out upon dry land.Thus Jonah being thankful, and giving God His praise,Traveled on to Nineveh, to proclaim their wicked ways.

Yes, I agree that 76 countries having penalties for being gay is 76 too many. I am not defending any of those countries, despite being from one of them. And I'm also aware that the next two comments I'm going to make are beside the point. All the same: 1) The term "buggery" is an import from the English. While it's probably not used in that sense in the UK anymore, this article is definitely remiss in only calling it a "Caribbean" term." 2) Guess what else in this article is imported from imperialists, courtesy of religion?
Response to 14 Books To Read Before They Hit The Big Screen:
None of these books sound appealing to me at all - I am soooo sick of YA - but I do appreciate the list, and I'm glad to know what was a book and what the next teen crazes will be so I can avoid them.

^A loser comment with horrible syntax, to make the loser who wrote it feel good about himself. Like, does anything matter to you aside from your own douchiness?

The problem I have with Loki not being in Avengers 2 (aside from not getting more Hiddles) is that Loki has never been a single-issue villain. His plans are long-term and complex; he's a manipulator, and has a way of coordinating the steps of those plans into seemingly unrelated events. Giving him one weaksauce plan centering on the destruction of New York does him absolutely no justice. So I'm going to assume that either Whedon's comment is misdirection, or it's true but also means that Loki will appear out of nowhere in Phase 3 and be like, "Oh, hey, guys, remember all that crap that happened since the last time you saw me? Yeah, that was all me. Loki'd!"
Needs more Loki. (Yes, he's a villain, but he deserves at least a mention and a blurry ass shot.)
"This is just a song." "It's just a pop song." No, it isn't. It's what people listen to and hum and let mill about in their heads. It doesn't matter if they're just dancing to it in a club and having fun. That's all well and good. But then one day, that guy who danced to it in the club or nodded along to it in his car will be in a tight spot with a woman, and while he may not think precisely of this song or any of the many others like it, he'll truly believe that, regardless of whether he asks her, she really must "want it." This has been your induction into rape culture. Enjoy your stay.
Incorrect. Five of those photos (close enough to half for me) include phones that are clearly either an iPhone 4 or 4S. Best case scenario for you would be the 4, which was released in June 2010. The first Samsung Galaxy was released in June 2009. Nice try, though.

I guarantee you're at least as much of a complaining shit as these guys are.

Road resurfacing, new police cars part of Sebastian improvement plan
Heres how the 2013-14 Sebastian Capital Improvement Program breaks down:
$285,000: General government
$218,000: Public safety
$1,611,000: Transportation
$75,000: Culture and recreation
$643,000: Physical environment
Total: $2,832,000
SEBASTIAN — A new tennis wall for Friendship Park, road resurfacing for Tulip Drive and new police cars are part of Sebastian's proposed $2.8 million 2013-14 Capital Improvement Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 7-0 Thursday to recommend the proposal to the City Council, approval that is required under Sebastian's Land Development Code.
The plan outlines improvements to the city's streets, buildings, parks, infrastructure, police department, golf course and airport. Projects in the Capital Improvement Program generally cost more than $50,000 and last at least five years.
For 2013-14, $1.6 million is proposed for transportation projects including road improvements, sidewalk construction and some preliminary work to realign Barber Street.
After some drainage improvements, Tulip Drive will be repaved and an additional 50 to 60 on-street parking spaces will be added for the Barber Street Sports Complex.
"We will be targeting Tulip Drive," said City Manager Al Minner. "Tulip really needs some TLC; it's in really bad shape."
For Parks and Recreation, the Capital Improvement program provides for a $10,000 study to see whether the Sebastian Community Center needs to be replaced.
Other Parks and Recreation projects include a $50,000 tennis wall at Friendship Park and some improvements to the baseball dugouts and batting cages at the Barber Street Sports Complex.
The Sebastian Police Department requested $218,000 to replace four police vehicles and other equipment, while the Sebastian Municipal Golf Course requested $15,000 for a new tractor.
Capital projects are funded through the Golf Course and Airport Fund; the Local Option Gas Tax; Discretionary Sales Tax; Recreational Impact Fees; developer contributions; debt financing; and state and federal grants. Also included are funds from the city's Riverfront Community Redevelopment Agency.
Heres how the 2013-14 Sebastian Capital Improvement Program breaks down:
$285,000: General government
$218,000: Public safety
$1,611,000: Transportation
$75,000: Culture and recreation

Financially Fit: Helping others become self-sufficient
Anita Martinez
Manager, Greater Detroit Center for Working Families
United Way for Southeastern Michigan
|The Greater Detroit Centers for Working Families work to help individuals and families gain self-sufficiency.
In two days, my five kids will wake me up before the sun rises, begging to open their Christmas presents. I'll hop out of bed to go make coffee while my husband gets the video camera ready to capture the big day.
The holidays always provide me with an opportunity to reflect on my blessings and remember those who are in need and struggling. As a lifelong-Detroit resident, my experiences -- and the experiences of my family and neighbors -- are what keep me motivated as the manager of the Greater Detroit Centers for Working Families. I am committed to helping people become financially stable, and it's become more than "just a job."
The year after I graduated from high school and was about to enter college, the Detroit Newspaper Agency went on strike. My father, who worked 15 years in the newspaper business, was suddenly struggling with paying the mortgage and grocery bills – let alone finding the cash for my college tuition.
I had to figure out how I was going to pay for my education. Those years weren't glamorous. Balancing school full time while holding down a job was not easy, but that experience has helped me in my current role working in Financial Stability at United Way.
I understand first hand that many individuals and families work two jobs and still struggle. In this economy, unexpected bills or an illness can force a family to choose between buying groceries or paying the electric bill.
When my father returned to work, I remember overhearing my parents talk about money, and it bothered me to know they struggled. I made a decision then to understand what it meant to be financially stable and help others get back on the path to self-sufficiency.
At the Centers for Working Families, our mission is to help people better manage their finances and improve their outlook. In partnership with Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), we work to help families earn it, keep it and grow it.
When a client comes to one of our 9 centers, he or she meets with a coach for an assessment. Each center is a bit different, but clients can get help creating a budget and tracking spending; learn about financial credits and available benefits, such as the EITC and SNAP; and get job training.
The Greater Detroit Centers for Working Families was created in 2008. For clients in the program, the success has been outstanding. Three years' worth of Greater Detroit CWF data indicates that a total of 70.5% of clients who received services improved their net income, net worth and/or credit score. It's clear that clients find success when they are matched with financial assistance, workforce and income supports.
This year, my Christmas wish is that you and your family enjoy the holidays. Sometimes, the best gift you can give someone is knowledge. If you know someone who is struggling financially, I encourage you to check out the Greater Detroit Centers for Working Families.

The post from yesterday was inspired by the news coverage surrounding the paper describing gene expression differences (DOI) between human populations. The original article uses neither the term 'race' nor the term "Caucasian". Instead, what would normally be called 'races' are referred to as 'populations' — aside from the single use of 'ethnic groups' in the title of the paper — and the population that would be called "Caucasian' ' is dubbed 'European-derived'.
When we look at some of the news coverage of the article, though, we see different terminology. The Nature news item by the usually excellent Erika Check refers to the different populations as 'ethnic groups' except when quoting Steve Scherer (who refers to them as 'populations'). Check also calls the European-derived population 'Caucasian'. The Scientific American coverage exhibits a similar trend — exclusive use of 'ethnic group' or 'ethnicity' rather than 'race' or 'population' and a preference for 'Caucasian' over 'European'. The Scientist uses a hybrid of population and ethnicity, but chooses European over Caucasian.
There are two items to address here. First, are the terms above synonymous or exchangeable? Second, if they mean different things, what do they mean?
Ethnicity vs. Race vs. Population
I've been fairly explicit about my preference for 'population' over 'race'. Race is a term hijacked from biology by the general population — originally referring to a biologically meaningful classification below the species level. The human races of the common vernacular are definitely the result of population structure — restricted gene flow between these races — but it's unclear to what extent these populations have differentiated. Also, the word race is pretty loaded outside of scientific dialogues, which causes me to shy away from using it. But I do see race and population as fairly synonymous; I just prefer the term population.
Ethnicity, on the other hand, is not synonymous with race or population. While race and population trace their roots to biology, ethnicity is a sociological concept. Ethnic groups are cultures — groups of people who share beliefs, practices, languages, etc — whereas populations are historically breeding groups of individuals. Populations take many generations to become genetically unique from each other (and they can be called races if they also differentiate in biologically meaningful ways), but ethnic groups can form within a single generation. As Razib mentioned in the comments of the previous post, an ethnic group such as 'Latino' can include many different races/populations — European, Amerindian, and African.
If race/population and ethnicity mean different things, why do journalists insist on referring to population differences as ethnic differences? I think it goes back to my point about the stigma associated with 'race'. The journalists are uncomfortable referring to the populations as races, and many don't seem to have the term 'population' in their arsenal. So they call them ethnic groups, drawing the ire of people like me.
European vs. Caucasian
This one is a bit more straightforward. Europe is a fairly objectively recognizable geographic area: from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mountains, from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean Sea, and extending somewhere into the Middle East (possibly to the Caucasus Mountains or maybe further). People who trace their ancestry to this region are of European descent.
Caucasian, literally, refers to people native to the Caucasus, but it has become interchangeable with any number of 'White' populations, most of whom trace their ancestry to Europe. One gets the feeling that the term 'White' fell out of favor and was replaced by 'Caucasian' much like 'Black' was replaced by 'African-American'. But the roots of such terminology are a bit disturbing; it was postulated that the natives of the Caucasus exhibited the idealized physical appearance so the Caucasus were believed to be the birthplace of mankind. The logic behind this idea — the assumption that Whites exhibit the best physical appearance — is implicitly racist. Additionally, we now know our species first appeared in Africa, so the biology isn't any good either. The connotations of the term Caucasian along with the geographical absurdity of using that term to describe all Europeans or Whites are the two main reasons we should abandon the term.
There is a difference between race and ethnicity — one refers to biology, the other to culture — and Caucasian is both historically loaded and geographically inconsistent. It seems like the scientists publishing research on biological differences between populations tend to use my preferred terminology — population rather than race or ethnicity, European ancestry rather than Caucasian or White. It's the journalists (and some scientists) that chose to use the iffy terms (ethnicity and Caucasian) because the alternatives that come to mind (race and White) have fallen out of favor. They fail to realize that there are much better alternatives (population and European) that are accurate descriptors and do not carry negative connotations.

Once again, Streamlight was proud to exhibit at FDIC (Fire Department Instructor Conference & Exhibition).The world's largest firefighter training conference enables us to speak directly with the firefighters who depend on flashlights to perform their important, life-saving work.
At FDIC 2014, April 7–12 in Indianapolis, we not only got a chance to hear about firefighters' toughest challenges, we also had the opportunity to showcase our new Portable Scene Light. With its ability to quickly illuminate an entire area, we felt the Portable Scene Light would be a welcome addition to firefighters' arsenal of lights. Show attendees overwhelmingly confirmed our belief in it as a sturdy, versatile, long-running, bright, and easily transportable light. We kept hearing how it would make a dramatic difference at the site of so many fires.
About the Portable Scene Light
This powerful light delivers 3,600 lumens on high for 5 hours, 2,400 lumens on medium for 9 hours, and 1,000 lumens on low for 18 hours.
It folds to a compact 22" and weighs only 25 pounds, making it easy to carry into tight, confined spaces. The light can arrive at a site, and be set-up as a flood or spot light to illuminate the entire scene. It quickly deploys (about 30 seconds) into a wide variety of configurations that shine light precisely where it's needed. It's stable on steps and other uneven surfaces; and its telescoping head extends to 72".
How would you use this powerful Portable Scene Light?
The Portable Scene Light can be an indispensable tool for first responders, firefighters, construction crews, and utility workers. The more we show the light, the more we hear about its potential uses.
So, we'd like to know how you would use our Portable Scene Light. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and tell us how you'd use it on your job or just suggest some creative applications. The best suggestions will be featured in the next newsletter.
