It's 2013, is name calling in magazines still happening? Yes…sigh…so there I was…chatting with some really nice woman on the plane. She offered me one of her magazines to read. I accepted, because I used to love this certain publication. As I was flipping through, I came across a "Sexy vs. Skanky" feature. I stopped and read it. The big bold print, bright colors, celebrity photos, and brazen headline grabbed my jet-lagged attention.
I immediately felt uneasy about this feature. Dictionary.com defines sexy as excitingly appealing; glamorous. While, it defines skanky as dirty, foul-smelling, or unattractive.
My first thought was "why would a magazine aimed at young (some impressionable) women resort to name calling because they don't approve of their fashion choices?" Especially, one that claims it's a "…cheerleader—for millions of fun, fearless females who want to be the best they can be in every area of their lives." This feature doesn't really match that motto.
I'm not going to name the publication, all though most of you will probably know who it is. I don't think it's about this magazine, but all of those out there targeted to young women. And according to this magazine's media kit, 58% of it's readers are ages 18-34 with millions of issues in circulation.
So…this is where my confusion lies and maybe you can help me by answering the two polls below.
Why would a very popular magazine (aimed at young women) call other women "skanky" and think it's OK?
Do you think magazine features like this affect the way we (as women) constantly judge each other?
I may not agree with what you're wearing or how much skin you're showing, but does that mean it's OK to result to name calling?
Am I thinking too much into this? Is this just for "fun and entertainment" only? Does that then make it OK?
I'd love to know what you think…take my poll below and leave a comment.

"We were absolutely pleased with the quality of the cards we ordered. We requested a review of the design to make it more personalized, and the promptness of the reviewer in satisfying our needs was impressive.

"I'm an artsy gal, but not too extravagant, so I was looking for something simple yet striking for our wedding announcements, and I found it. I chose red since the date is close to Christmas, but the other color options look lovely, too. I was able to play with the fonts quite a bit, and personalized the monogram with a typewriter-style font that was very me. The weight and texture is delightful, and reminds me of handmade paper. Family and friends have complimented them, as well. Once I placed my order, I received the online proofs very promptly, and the delivery was right on time. Given the volume and the time of my order, the total price was nice and affordable."
"The announcements were wonderful, elegant, and very classy. We got compliments from everyone who received an announcement. They look exactly as shown on the website and were delivered very quickly. I cannot think of any way in which this item can be improved."
"Very classy announcement. I love the simple elegance of the scroll and monogram, as well as the heavy card stock. I received many compliments on the announcement and would highly recommend it."
"I purchased these for our wedding announcements and they are absolutely beautiful! I ordered them in the blue color. Very elegant!!"

You've purchased your Mega Millions ticket already (who hasn't?), but have you started dreaming about how you'd spend that money? We sure have! And we wondered: Just what could you buy with $640,000,000?
+210 million Cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery
At $3 a pop, you could buy 213,333,333 cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery in New York City. Even with your 649 Facebook friends eating five cupcakes a day, it would take you all 179 years to achieve that.
+32 million cases of Spam from Amazon.com
The list price on Amazon for a pack of 6 12-ounce Spam cans is $19.52. At that rate, you'd be set for any apocalyptic occurrence with 32,786,885 cases of Spam. (Think of all the Spam Musubi you could make!)
Approximately 83 Vineyards Around the World
Though 100% an approximation, we took the five list prices for vineyards found on Curbed.com and averaged it out to be about $7.67 million per vineyard. At that cost, you'd be able to buy 83 vineyards across the world.
128,000 FleurBurgers from Fleur in Las Vegas
According to Luxist.com, the FleurBurger created by Chef Hubert Keller features a Kobe beef patty topped with a truffle sauce and served on a brioche truffled bun. But the real expense comes from the beverage it's served with: "a bottle of 1990 Chateau Petrus, that is served in Ichendorf Brunello stemware that you get to keep."
The price tag for this burger? $5000. With your new-found millions, you could buy yourself and 127,999 friends one. (The Daily Meal rounded up 13 more bank-breaking meals, though, if you win, they won't even put a dent in your wallet.)
While none of us are looking to stock up on Spam or see how many cupcakes we can eat in a year (we do enough of the latter without winning the lottery, and avoid the former always), we did have some ideas for how to spend the money:
- "Rent out and staff kitchens in major cities so I could always have a home cooked meal."
- "Hire a Cordon Bleu-trained private chef to make healthy, delicious meals for me every day!"
- "I'd purchase a restaurant chain. That, or a pizza oven in my house, though I could probably do that for a lot less than $640 million."
- "Fly 50 of my closest friends for an authentic clambake in Maine."
- "Hire each of the Iron Chefs to create a different dinner each night and then have my friends pick the grand Iron Chef winner."
- "How much is the entire Krispy Kreme empire?"
- "Re-open El Bulli. Just for me and friends."
What would you do with the winnings? Tell us in the comments or join the conversation on Facebook.

Train ProblemMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Elliot the detective heard the news of a double murder that occurred on a train.
"The driver and the conductor were on the opposite ends of the train, but both were shot at the same time", reported a policeman who was at the center of the train at the time. The policeman had heard both gunshots at the same time. The train was travelling 150 kilometers per hour. Elliot immediately realized that the driver and the conductor were not killed at the same time. How is it so?
AnswerSince the train was going at 150 km/h, the sound of the gunshot in the front of the train would reach the policeman's ears faster than the gunshot from the back of the train. So the conductor was shot first.

After the World Cup in Brazil, the bare bones of faith remain
Monday, August 4, 2014
A parish that is the size of Arizona
The 2014 World Cup has come and gone; both the uproar over
its excessive costs and the spectacle of the games are fast becoming distant
memories. The spotlight that gave international audiences the merest glimpses
of the largest Catholic nation in the world has ruthlessly moved on.
Brazilians, especially the most needy, are once again left to their own
devices, coping with ordinary life and its challenges.Yet, they are never truly alone—the Church makes sure of
that. It does so through the tireless and courageous work of priests like
British-born Father Peter Shekleton, a missionary in the country's Amazon
region. He got his start in Brazil
ministering in the slums of Sao Paulo, but when he took a group of Catholic
youth on an expedition to the Amazon forest a good decade ago he discovered the
Diocese of Saint Gabriel of the Waterfalls: a vast territory the size of
Arizona with barely any priests.Father Peter was shocked to discover that some communities
in the diocese had not seen a priest for as long as ten years; that the people
were longing for a pastor, that countless old people were simply waiting "to
die in peace." The priest asked to be transferred to the parish of the Immaculate
Conception, in the heart of the Amazon forest, where for years now he has been doing
his work in obscurity but with great conviction and gratitude. Two years ago he
took the reins of the parish of Barcelos, a mostly uninhabited area.Father Peter takes his cue from St. Therese of Lisieux who
famously said: "We must sow the good seed without concerning ourselves whether
it will grow." This missionary does the work and trusts God for the
outcome.For a long time he had to rely on a ramshackle boat to navigate,
he says, "rapids, dangerous currents, hidden rocks and constantly shifting sand
banks, and dangerous eddies—to say nothing of the fact that the water is full
of crocodiles, piranha and snakes." His life became a bit easier recently when
benefactors raised the money to buy him new boat, named "Perseverance." The
ship is a lifeline for this flock.He is saddened by the
"godlessness" of many people he meets on his travels, blaming their lives of
dissipation on the "hedonism, individualism, consumerism and relativism"
promoted by contemporary media that, thanks to satellite dishes, have
penetrated even the remotest jungles. Nonetheless, he adds, "I often come back
happy from these journeys into the wilderness, because I have done what I
believe to have been my duty."Father Peter is undeterred, citing the words of St. Therese:
"Jesus does not look so much at how big or difficult our deeds are, but rather
at the love with they are done."Father Shekleton
discovered his vocation in 1991 when he heard the founder of Aid to the Church
in Need Father Werenfried van Straaten preach in London's Westminster

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/10/2012 (1769 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO -- They're not exactly one big happy family -- and almost certainly never will be.
But if there are still hard feelings remaining between the two teams, you were hard-pressed to find any evidence of it Thursday among the players of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Toronto Argonauts.
Three weeks after the last meeting between these two teams ended with Bombers QB Buck Pierce suffering a concussion from an illegal hit, the two teams will hook up again here at Rogers Centre tonight in a matchup CFL watchers had circled ever since Argos linebacker Brandon Isaac planted his helmet into Pierce's chin at Canad Inns Stadium Sept. 29.
The hit cost Pierce the last two games as he continued to battle lingering concussion symptoms. And in the interim, players from the two teams have lobbed harsh words back and forth, with Argos safety Jordan Younger at one point blaming the concussion on Pierce's "soft melon" while Bombers cornerback Jovon Johnson suggested the Argos were deliberately targeting Pierce.
Isaac got fined for the hit, Johnson got fined for the comment and a couple of other Bombers got fined for some pushing and shoving -- all of it seemingly setting the stage for potential fireworks tonight.
But then Thursday, Pierce -- who in the days following the hit proclaimed it a "dirty play" -- seemed to soften his stance. Asked if he was backing away from his earlier criticism of Isaac, Pierce insisted he wasn't, even while he seemed to continue to do just that. "I'm not saying that it wasn't a dirty hit. It was an illegal hit and it wasn't within the confines of the game," Pierce told reporters at a downtown hotel. "I'm not saying he's a dirty player or anything like that. But that specific play was an illegal play.
"But like I say, it's one of those things that happen... "
For his part, Younger was also sounding a more conciliatory note when asked about his "soft melon" comments and his earlier contention that all of the injuries Pierce has taken over the years have in large part been a result of his style of play. "I don't mean he puts himself in harm's way in a stupid kind of way. He wants to stand in there and make those throws, whereas a lot of other quarterbacks try to avoid that," Younger said.
"Now, you can look at that two ways. You can look at that as him being courageous. He's definitely got a lot of heart and he's the heart and soul of that team. But the other way to look at it is that the team is better with him in the lineup and not taking those hits...
"We're not a dirty team. And we're not after Buck Pierce."
On the contrary, Argos kicker Noel Prefontaine said he's personally deeply concerned about Pierce's well-being as the quarterback's injuries, particularly concussions, continue to mount. "I worry about him. I think a lot of people have expressed that -- fans, teammates, guys he's played against...The bottom line is if he comes out and throws five touchdowns (today) and Winnipeg doesn't make the playoffs still, five years from now no one is going to remember Buck Pierce threw five touchdowns against Toronto on this date."
A reporter then suggested Pierce would remember. "Will he?" Prefontaine replied. "You're saying he will, but that's the long-lasting effect.
"And that's the problem with head injuries, right?"

COUNCILLORS have scrapped a new logo after critics said it was too similar to a trademark for an online sex toy shop.
The heart-shaped design, drawn up by Pendle councillor James Starkie, was said to be too close to international retailer Lovehoney's logo.
The company sells more than 400 own brand products, and holds the licence to design, make and sell adult toys based on the hugely popular Fifty Shades of Grey books by E L James.
Now councillors have voted to go back to the drawing board after the elections after initially agreeing a £3,00 budget and spending dozens of hours of council officers' time on the project.
Coun Ann Kerrigan told a full council meeting: "A similar logo belongs to another organisation and it really does concern me because do we want Pendle to share a logo with a sex shop like Lovehoney?
"It wouldn't do much for Pendle and I don't think we should be associating our logo with this kind of thing."
Coun Tony Greaves said: "There is one particular item on the website which might be useful, given Pendle's climate, something called a waterproof vibrator."
Coun Starkie had come up with the designs as part of a 'Brand Pendle' exercise, to replace the borough's Pendle Hill inspired emblem and celebrate the district's 40th anniversary.
He has previously defended the initiative, saying it was 'designed to change hearts and minds so that we can all have pride in Pendle."
But the slogan associated with the redesign - Pendle - The In Place to Live, Work and Play - was dismissed as 'Mars bar marketing' by Lib Dem councillor David Whipp.
Coun Ken Hartley, another Lib Dem, also said that the designs, set to appear on signs across Pendle, had him 'reaching for his blood pressure medication'.
Councillors have now agreed to defer the marketing exercise so the authority's scrutiny committee can take it up after the next borough elections.
Labour's Coun Richard Smith said: "I am not convinced about the cost of this or the cost in officer time. I understand the idea but I don't agree with the designs."
Council leader Coun Joe Cooney said: "It really was never about rebranding the council but promoting the things that are great about Pendle, all the great places we have to live and work.
"I accept that we have probably got sidetracked on one particular part of this but it was all about the concept and idea of it."
A spokesman from Love Honey said: "We are very disappointed that Pendle councillors have rejected their new logo because of its likeness to ours.
'Lovehoney is Britain's biggest online sex toy retailer. Our turnover grew by 50 per cent in the last year. We have thousands and thousands of satisfied customers.
"We'd like to spread a little sexual happiness to the good people of Pendle who buy our products in huge numbers. If any of the councillors who objected to the logo would like to contact us, we will happily supply them with a free sex toy of their choice."
Pendle MP Andrew Stephenson said: "This was an idea that was brought up and designed by one councillor free of charge.
"Coun Starkie thought it was a good idea, and came up with some concepts to present to councillors, but that means no taxpayers' money has been spent on this.
"It's coming up to election time, and this sounds like pretty low political mischief making from people who should be spending their time on better things."
Lovehoney was founded in 2002 by former magazine editor Richard Longhurt, and Neal Slateford.
In 2011, it bought erotic retailer Coco de Mer, which has a flagship store in Covent Garden, London, giving it a high street presence, although Coco de Mer still operates under its own brand.

Following a months-long internal investigation of the actions of a volunteer auxiliary police officer in Towson, Police Chief Jim Johnson has decided that this auxiliary officer will not return to patrol duties.
The auxiliary officer, Matthew S. Betz, 44, who has volunteered for BCoPD for 22 years, will be allowed to continue to perform administrative work for the department. (Johnson restricted him to administrative duties immediately after the February 23 incident.) His arrest powers have been suspended, meaning he cannot work in the field as an auxiliary officer.
The investigation by the Internal Affairs Division involved a crowd disturbance in the 400 block of York Road at about 1:45 a.m. in which two women were arrested on charges of resisting arrest, disturbing the peace, second-degree assault and drug charges. The auxiliary officer was assisting on-duty BCoPD officers when he became involved with a college student who was filming the incident.
The internal investigation found that the auxiliary officer behaved inappropriately. "The language he used was incorrect, unnecessary and not helpful in bringing the incident to closure," Chief Johnson said.
About the Auxiliary Program
BCoPD's Auxiliary Police Officer program, established by the Baltimore County Code, currently includes 88 trained volunteers. The Code specifies the qualifications, conditions of service and scope of duties for auxiliary officers.
Volunteer auxiliary officers must complete about 115 hours of training in order to be certified by the Police Chief to assist BCoPD officers. They do not carry firearms. Under the Code, all certified auxiliary officers have extremely limited powers of arrest.
Chief Johnson will require enhanced re-training of all existing volunteer auxiliary officers that exceeds the training they currently receive yearly.
"These volunteers make a huge commitment to this department and to this County. They contribute thousands of dollars worth of manpower each year – an asset we value and want to preserve," Chief Johnson said. "At the same time, this recent incident highlighted the need to make sure volunteer auxiliary members are thoroughly trained and properly assigned, both for their own safety and for the good of our citizens."

Lt Albert Duke, 321stBG, 447thBS, Pilot /MTO
1943 — Africa
Lt. Albert Duke was one of the earliest pilots assigned to the 321st BG, in fact Jim Bugbee remembers there only being himself and one or two others, when Duke came in. The new 447th pilots were given their ships, and almost immediately the crew members started filling in. They started their training maneuvers and practicing the skills needed for air battle in the African Theatre. Walter Cantrell remembers having two pound sacks of flour for practice bomb runs. After training in S. C. was completed, they did some torpedo practice, and then Aerial Gunnery at De Ridder in LA. In fact, Al Dukes crew even attended his wedding !Very shortly before leaving De Ridder, Duke flew away and returned with a brand-spanking new ship, and had named her after his wife. (Al's nickname for her was "Trig"...short for TRIGGER) #41-13171 Since it was such a big secret, no one much past the pilot and crew knew about the new Airborne RADAR. From Lt. Dan Mc Duff's pilot log, we know that it was tough to "see" Florida as it was so flat, but the Ascension Islands were seen about 50 miles out ! Lt. Duke flew the TRIGGER #41-13171 over in the famous Knapp Group with Dan Mc Duff, Doug Orr, Harold Govini, Edward Ennis, Francis Noble and Passenger Robt. Manley. After arriving at their destination in Africa, there were practice flights and armament changes made in the first few weeks. We know of the "Sea-Sweep" that caused so much flak damage that he had to ditch in the sea, but now we also know that the target was a German Transport Group. This was a tragic loss, (H. Govini Govioni died) but the mission was a huge success, especially as this was the beginning of our raids to completely cut off all supplies to Africa. Barbi Ennis Connolly, 321st BG Historian, Aug. 2009

HOUSTON - A woman originally thought to have been a victim of a carjacking in a fast-food restaurant's drive-through lane was in on the crime, investigators said.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said Juan Alberto Torres, 30, walked up to the driver's side of a Chevrolet Avalanche at a Wendy's on West Road near Interstate 45 about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. Torres pulled the 21-year-old driver out of the car and knocked him to the ground, detectives said. The 21-year-old was dragged by the vehicle when he tried to grab Torres, officials said.
Emma Alvarez, 20, was also in the vehicle during the attack, detectives said. She stayed in the vehicle as Torres led deputies on a short chase that ended when he crashed nearby, investigators said.
Alvarez didn't get out of the vehicle when the driver was attacked because she had set the 21-year-old man up, deputies said.
"They were supposed to rob the victim of the vehicle, sell it and split the money," Deputy Thomas Gilliland said. "They didn't count on someone calling 911 and the chase that ensued."
After the crash, deputies sent a K-9 into the vehicle to get Torres out. He was bitten by the dog.
Torres was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, robbery with bodily injury, evading arrest and driving without a license. He's being held in the Harris County Jail without bond.
Alvarez, who was not hurt in the crash, was arrested and charged with robbery with bodily injury. She is being held in the Harris County Jail with bond set at $10,000.
The 21-year-old driver suffered a shoulder injury, scrapes and bruises when he was dragged.

Desvenlafaxine vs. Placebo Treatment of Chronic Depression
Recruitment status was: Recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators are studying a new antidepressant medicine, desvenlafaxine, for the treatment of people with chronic depression. Desvenlafaxine (trade name Pristiq) has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of major depression.
The investigators are testing whether this medicine is also effective for adults with a type of chronic depression that is less severe than major depression. This condition is also known as dysthymic disorder or dysthymia. Chronic depression, lasting two or more years, often causes significant suffering and impairment.
In addition, the investigators are using MRI imaging, which uses magnetic signals to make pictures of the brain's structure and also of its functioning. The purpose of MRI imaging in this study is to see whether chronic depression is associated with differences in brain structure or functioning, and whether such differences change after medication or placebo treatment. To test this MRI scans are done at the start of the study and after 12 weeks of medication or placebo treatment. Getting MRI imaging will be an option for participants in this study but is not required.
This study involves a 6 to 12 week double-blind period during which half of the participants will take the new medication and half will take a placebo (an inactive look-alike pill). After the double blind phase, all subjects can be treated for 12 weeks with an FDA-approved antidepressant medication.
Assessments (of depressive symptoms, social functioning, and personality) will be done by study staff and by patients before the study starts, at each study visit for the first 12 weeks, and again after 24 weeks in the study.

Detailed Description:
The investigators wish to study acute efficacy for 12 weeks on a double blind basis and continued response after open-label treatment at week 24 follow-up. It is important to establish the acute (12 week) efficacy of desvenlafaxine in non-major chronic depression. Also, given that non-major chronic depression is by definition chronic, it is important to demonstrate that benefit persists at follow-up assessment (24 weeks); this is clinically important in trying to alleviate the significant psychosocial morbidity associated with this disorder.
The investigators believe this study will have significant value in the treatment of patients with non-major chronic depression, and will add significantly to what remains an extremely small scientific literature.
The investigators would also like to study the effects of desvenlafaxine on brain structure and function. Learning that a medication reduces symptoms does not teach us how the medication achieves this outcome. Participants in this study can have the opportunity to participate in MRI scanning that will help to understand the mechanisms by with desvenlafaxine is effective. MRI scans are done prior to starting the clinical trial and then again after completing the double blind clinical trial.

"Navi, this is a very important warlock artefact!"
"This is a really important lore piece!"
OK OK. All so Illidan consumed it and gained Gul'dan's powers, I was thinking that was the extent of it. And yes, Gul'dan was a very important orc warlock, perhaps the most powerful mortal warlock ever. I though that was why they were so keen to have it.
However, that wasn't just it! What made it so COOL was the green fel glow you get when you activate the on use ability of the trinket, which makes you glow green for 20 seconds.
So this is what you look like when you have Fire kitty and you activate the trinket:
Cool right? Heh, I think so! I did it during raid time just to be funny and people wondered how I went green.

STOURBRIDGE Lawn Tennis and Squash Club served up a treat with an open day that really hit the mark with members and visitors.
Officials opted to turn the annual event at the club, near Norton, into a charity fun day which proved a huge success - raising £1,362 for Mary Stevens Hospice.
The highlight of the day was a tennis match between three times British Touring Car champion Matt Neal and head tennis coach Les Davies against Matt's agent Steve Thomas and assistant coach Kirk Woodall.
Vice chairman Sarah Davis said: "The match was played in particular good humour. Some of the club's juniors joined in including Ellie Griffiths, who is currently ranked number two in the UK under-15 age group. She certainly put one or two shots past Les, who was her former coach."
Later in the evening, Matt Neal raffled off a Honda racing jacket, which raised £308, while an evening of live music from Lady and the Fax raised an additional £700.
There were a number of contests taking place during the day including beat the coach, fastest serve and an assault course competition.
Sarah added: "Rather than just have an open day for new members, we decided to make it a fun day so existing members and their families could come along and join in.
"The idea proved so successful that we could well continue the theme for years to come.
"We had quite a number of new people looking the join the club which has only recently completed a number of improvements. We also had people turn up specifically just to see Matt Neal.
"Everyone was delighted with the amount of money raised. We've pledged to raise £3,000 for Mary Stevens Hospice over the next 12 months and this was a flying start."

11 December 2012 – A United Nations report released in Kabul today said despite some progress in implementing a three-year old law designed to protect Afghan women from violence, application of the landmark law continued to be hampered by "dramatic under reporting" and lack of investigations into most incidents of violence targeting women.
UNAMA Human Rights Director Georgette Gagnon told a news conference organized to release the report Still a Long Way to Go: Implementation of the Law on Elimination of Violence against Women in Afghanistan [1]that the overall use of the law remained low indicating there was still a long way to go for women and girls in Afghanistan to be protected from violence.
The 42-page report, which covered 22 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces with detailed information on application of the EVAW law from 16 of the provinces, found an increase in the number of incidents registered by police and prosecutors compared with UNAMA's findings in November 2011.
Ms. Gagnon linked the under reporting of cases of violence against women to "cultural restraints, social norms and taboos, customary practices and religious beliefs, discrimination against women". "Also prevailing insecurity and weak rule of law have further hampered women's access to formal justice institutions," she said.
The release of the report was timed to mark the International Human Rights Day (10 December), which also marks the end of a 16-day global campaign against violence against women.
In his statement on the launch of the UNAMA report, UN Special Representative for Afghanistan and the head of UNAMA, Ján Kubiš, said progress in implementing the EVAW law can contribute to deterring harmful practices and violence against women in Afghanistan that had long prevented women from participating in public life and blocked their voices from being heard in decision-making and peace and reconciliation processes.
"If the advances identified in implementing the EVAW law are expanded and built upon, Afghan women can be empowered to take a more active part in peace-making and political life," said Mr. Kubiš.
Enacted in August 2009, the Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) law criminalises child marriage, forced marriage, selling and buying women for the purpose or under the pretext of marriage, ba'ad (giving away a woman or girl to settle a dispute), forced self-immolation and 17 other acts of violence against women including rape and beating. It also specifies punishment for perpetrators.
Of the 470 reported cases of violence against women, prosecutors filed indictments in 163 cases of which resulted in conviction at trial in 100 cases with a 61 per cent success rate. "This shows that in the small number of cases of violence against women that were investigated and prosecuted, use of the EVAW Law was more likely to result in justice for the women," said Ms. Gagnon.
The report observed an example of how insecurity and growing activities of anti-Government elements are keeping women from reporting violence in eastern Laghman province.
"UNAMA was informed that, after an incident in which the Head of DoWA (Department of Women's Affairs) was killed in Laghman (in July 2012), only two victims had visited the office in Mehterlam (the provincial capital) and submitted complaints since July 2012. This suggests that women victims were concerned about being associated with the office and feared becoming a target."
Just yesterday, on the Human Rights Day, Najia Seddiqi, who had been the acting director for DoWA Laghman since the killing of its director Hanifa Safi in an IED explosion, was shot dead by assailants as she was travelling to work.
Speaking at the press conference in Kabul, the Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Nicholas Haysom, said Ms Safi was "targeted specifically for her high profile advocacy on issues of violence against women and promoting human rights".
"UNAMA extends its condolences to the family of Najia Seddiqi and condemns such targeted killings of civilians," said Mr. Haysom.
UNAMA joined a ceremony held in the eastern regional hub of Jalalabad yesterday to mourn the killing of Ms. Seddiqi of condemn the act.
UNAMA's press event in Kabul was also addressed by a women's rights activist, Selay Ghafa, and a representative from the Afghan Civil Society Forum, Zia Mobalegh.
Ms. Ghafa said the acts of violence against women in Afghanistan were actually "crimes against women", calling on the international community to do more to protect Afghan women from increasing violence.
Mr. Mobalegh said a "family law", as suggested by Article 54 of the Afghan Constitution, should be enacted to protect women from domestic violence.
The UNAMA Director of human rights said referring the cases of violence against women to traditional conflict resolution mechanisms such as jirgas (unofficial assemblies of local elders) and shuras (local councils), undermining implementation of the EVAW law and reinforced harmful practices.
"Those incidents that reach law enforcement, that actually get to the court, or receive public attention due to their egregious nature represent only the tip of the iceberg of incidents of violence against women throughout the country," said Ms. Gagnon.
The report has 29 recommendations [1] to the Government of Afghanistan and its international partners urging them to ensure that protection of women's rights are an integral part of peace and reconciliation efforts and the country's political, economic and security strategies.
Human Rights Day marked in provinces
The Human Rights Day was marked in several provinces across Afghanistan, with Afghan poets reciting poems calling for an end to civilian casualties in northeastern Kunduz, and a radio and television round-table organized in southeastern Gardez.
In Jalalabad, the capital of eastern Nangarhar province, the Human Rights Day ceremony turned into a mourning event as its neighbouring Laghman province lost the head of its Department of Women's Affairs, Najia Seddiqi, on the same morning.
Speaking at the ceremony which was attended by members of the civil society, women, youth, Government officials and representatives from UN agencies, Rafiullah Baidar of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) said the number of cases of human rights violations increased by 20 per cent this year as compared to the previous year and the number of violence against women cases increased by 30 per cent.
During a meeting with UNAMA, female members of the Nangarhar Provincial Council said threats and intimidation had become their parts of life while calling on the Government and the international community to ensure their security.
In the Kunduz event, local poets recited their poems under the theme "Say No To Civilian Casualties" yesterday. UNAMA Head of Office for the north-eastern region, Simon Hermes, also recited a poem in English calling for joint efforts by all for a better future of Afghanistan.
Sayed Karim Talash of AIHRC said every group involved in conflict should be "pressured" to commit to protecting civilians.
"It is very important that the poets explain the pain of their people through the poem language and it is best way of criticism," said Abdul Fatah Kaleem, a representative of the Kunduz Governor's Office.
In Gardez and Khost, UNAMA helped organize a round-table with a human rights activist, a religious scholar and representatives from the AIHRC, the Provincial Council and the civil society to be aired by the local radio and television stations, yesterday.
"If we profess Islam, we admit the Universal Declaration of Human Rights," said Maulawi Sardar Mohammad, the religious scholar.
The participants pointed out that harmful traditional practices, illiteracy, poverty, lack of access to the justice and insecurity are the major factors contributing to the human rights violations in the region.
In Herat, over 300 people gathered at a ceremony organized to mark the International Human Rights Day. Besides speeches, the ceremony saw screening of a UNAMA documentary on violence against women and a performance by a local theatre group.
In his speech, Abdul Qadir Rahimi of the AIHRC said the Human Rights Day was the moment to remember all Afghan victims of war.
The Head of UNAMA's Western Regional Office, Andrew MacGregor, said the Afghans wanted to be involved in the political life of the country.
At a ceremony in Bamyan province, the AIHRC Head of Bamyan, Abdul Ahad Farzam, highlighted the need for transitional justice in the peace process towards the attainment of sustainable peace. Governor Dr. Habiba Sarabi called on the international community to continue supporting Afghanistan.

I miss the song fade out. It was implemented in the age of recording to tape as a solution to song without an end. I feel fade outs worked really well on many songs. Modern DAWs let us choose our song length right down to the split second. Why not finish your next song with a fade out? With today's computer automation it's as easy and drawing a line on your master channel.
A recorded song may be gradually reduced to silence at its end (fade-out), or may gradually increase from silence at the beginning (fade-in) For example, the songs "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf and "Hey Jude" by The Beatles both fade out. However, "Born to be Wild" fades out in a matter of seconds, whereas "Hey Jude" takes over 2 minutes to completely fade out. Fading-out can serve as a recording solution for pieces of music that contain no obvious ending. – Wikipedia.org
Come to think of it why not try a fade in? This makes your listener feel like he's entering a situation already in progress. Great for songs that have a live or street feel to them. The album Stella by Yello is a good example. Do you have any favorite songs with a fade in or out?

ORLANDO, Fla. - A popular Orange County restaurant ignited, sending smoke through the air and flames visible from State Road 408 early Friday morning.
Authorities were still fighting the fire at the Five and Diner off of East Colonial Drive at 5 a.m. after the roof collapsed.
The flames from the restaurant caused a heavy haze along State Road 408, prompting drivers to stop and watch one of their favorite diners burn down.
"It was pretty good man laid-back friendly atmosphere, you got friendly service here," said Matt Judge. "It was friendly as ever I feel bad for the people who own it. But it's unfortunate it really is."
The Fire marshal should be able to get inside and investigate the cause once firefighters say it's safe. Firefighters say the building will probably be a complete loss, but they worked to save as much as possible.
Workers showed up to watch the diner burn and friends of the owner told Local 6 he has no idea how the fire could have started. He's not aware of any problems with any electrics or anything else that could spark the fire.
The building is ensured, but right now the owner isn't sure if he'll be able to rebuild.
Several workers say they depend on the job at 5 & Diner for all their income, so they'll have to figure out what to do next quickly.

I would like to see what the forum thinks about style conventions when extending a third-party class inside a separate project. Take this scenario: Suppose that you are working on a project that uses joined_lowercase method names, but you need to extend a third-party library that uses camelCase method names. You don't intend to contribute your subclass to the originating project, so you are not bound to the base class project's code style.
What style convention would you use in your derived class? Would you keep it consistent with the base class (camelCase), or keep it consistent with the rest of your project (joined_lowercase)? Would you only use camelCase in places where you override the base class's methods, and joined_lowercase for everything else?
Since it will come up sooner rather than later, PEP8 says this regarding style-clashing in function names:
Function Names
Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability.
mixedCase is allowed only in contexts where that's already the prevailing style (e.g. threading.py), to retain backwards compatibility.

ALAN King has pinpointed Godsmejudge as one of his best hopes to get on the scoreboard at next month's Cheltenham Festival.
The Barbury Castle trainer expects to have only "10 or 11" runners at a meeting he has enjoyed great success at in the past.
After just losing out in a pulsating battle for the Classic Chase at Warwick, Godsmejudge returned to the same course to win a novice event and is being aimed for the John Oaksey National Hunt Chase.
"He'll get the four-mile trip well, although he wouldn't want it to dry up too much," King said.
"Warwick takes a lot of jumping and I think he'd have to be one of my best chances of the week."
McVicar and King Of Dudes are likely to represent the yard in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle rather than L'Unique, while the smart Smad Place has another crack at the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.
"I've been pleased with him," King said. "I had him in at Fontwell on Sunday but I thought it was a bit close, but he worked very well this morning."
While former Festival winner Bensalem has been ruled out for the season, last year's top-class juvenile Grumeti will also miss Cheltenham, but not the whole season.
"He's fine - he's not going to be ready for Cheltenham but he'll probably go for the Scottish Champion Hurdle," he said.
Other King runners include Walkon (Byrne Group Plate) and Kumbeshwar (Grand Annual).

Gold Award for Neda Poster
Gold Award for Neda Poster
On a whim I entered a poster I made of the Neda "Eyes" illustration from last summer into the Graphis Poster Annual. The poster was originally included in a collection on the blog, 'Socialdesignzine'. Eventually, the Iranian government censored the blog. A year later, little is said in the press about the stifling of the opposition movement in Iran.
This illustration was created about a year ago and I wrote about it on Drawger and it quickly went viral and hundreds of Iranians offered their comments.
Yesterday I found out that the poster won a gold award from Graphis.
It was one of the quicker pieces I've ever done; a drawing imported into photoshop and completed there. Not many refinements just a focus on the eyes.

SC makes it difficult to mess with honest babus
In a landmark verdict aimed at insulating bureaucrats from political interference, the Supreme Court on Thursday ordered fixed tenure for them and the setting up of a board to advise governments on transfers, postings, promotions and disciplinary action.delhi Updated: Nov 01, 2013 04:53 IST
In a landmark verdict aimed at insulating bureaucrats from political interference, the Supreme Court on Thursday ordered fixed tenure for them and the setting up of a board to advise governments on transfers, postings, promotions and disciplinary action. These matters should be handled by a Civil Services Board (CSB), it said.
A bench of justice KS Radha-krishnan and justice Pinaki Chandra also said bureaucrats must not function on verbal instructions from superiors and the political executive as it leads to "favouritism and corruption" and defeats the rights guaranteed to citizens under the Right to Information Act.The top court gave the Centre, states and union territories three months to implement its directions. The promotions-transfers board would continue to function till the time Parliament brings in a proper legislation to set up the CSB. However, the political executive could overrule the board's views by recording reasons, it said.
The call for sweeping administrative reforms comes close on the heels of transfer controversies surrounding IAS officers Ashok Khemka, who flagged alleged irregularities in a DLF-Robert Vadra land deal in Haryana, and Durga Shakti Nagpal, who took on the powerful sand mafia in Noida.
Bureaucrats are often transferred on the whims and fancies of politicians. The court indicated as much when it said deteriorating standards of probity and accountability in bureaucracy were due to political influence.
On fixing minimum tenure for civil servants, the court said it would not only enable them to achieve their professional targets but also help them function as effective instruments of public policy. "Repeated shuffling and transfer of officers is deleterious to good governance. Minimum assured service tenure ensures efficient service delivery and increased efficiency," it said.
The court had issued a similar order on police reforms in September 2006 but most of its directives are yet to be implemented.
"In the present political scenario, the role of civil servants has become complex and onerous. Often, they have to take decisions with far reaching consequences in the economic and technological fields. Their decisions must be transparent and in public interest. They should be fully accountable to the community they serve," the bench said.
The verdict came on a petition filed by a group of former bureaucrats, including former cabinet secretary TSR Subramanium and former election commissioner TS Krishna Murthy. "Public servants are not private servants. Mal-governance affects people and quality of administration," said Subramanium.
According to Murthy, "Good governance is critical to good democracy. Most of us have seen in our careers how most transfers, promotions, postings and foreign assignments are decided on whims."

Topic: Cholangiocarcinoma without symptoms or pain.
I just wanted to put in a post for those CC with untreatable tumours.
When my husband Ray was diagnosed almost 20 months ago he was given 6 months to live and I scanned this site for information about the disease and what treatment we could have to make things better. Although this site is extremly informative and helpful, as a newcomer it is also very frightening.
Unfortunately his tumour was 8cm intrahepatic with satellites in both lobes when he was diagnosed. We discussed treatment with the oncologist and we decided as Ray didnt have any symptoms we would not go down the chemo route until he did. For the next 18 months we spent the time going places and seeing people and just doing whatever we wanted.
Two months ago the Oncologist said the had "lost his nerve" as the tumour had grown to 17cms and Ray started with Gemcitabine. The only side effects he had with this was tiredness on the second day, and at the next scan showed it was working and the tumour had stopped growing. However three weeks ago he developed Jaundice, and they tried a stent, but this didnt work as the liver was already not working properly. Consequently he was taken into hospital two weeks ago and passed away quietly last Sunday.
The thing is that Ray did not have any pain at all from this CC, only discomfort over the last few days due to fluid retention and acites.
When you are first diagnosed, it is quite scary reading about everything people are going through, and all the pain and suffering.
I just wanted to say it is not always like that. I know we have been extremely lucky, Ray was not afraid of dying but was afraid of being in pain for a long time and it never happened.
No doubt many people do battle this disease with great bravery over many months or years, but there are instances when the end is swift and painless.
So please dont worry too much about what will happen during the course of the disease as we did, or just wait for the illness to take hold, forget about the future as much as possible and just enjoy the time you have at the moment.
All my love and prayers to you all.

British Basketball has vowed to do everything in its power to regain its Olympic funding after UK Sport withdrew its entire award for the second year in succession.
The sport had won a reprieve last year and was handed £7million over four years - but three years of that was conditional on meeting performance targets which were missed.
British Basketball's performance director Roger Moreland said the sport was "aghast" at the decision which would have severe consequences for its future development.
Funding has also been withdrawn from synchronised swimming, water polo and weightlifting while a number of sports judged likely to win medals at the Rio 2016 Olympics have had their funding increased.
Moreland said basketball would launch an appeal, and claimed there was a bias against team sports in the funding system.
He told Press Association Sport: "We will appeal - we will do everything we can.
"There is a gap in the system and is appears to show a bias against team sports and emerging sports. Hockey is the only Olympic team sport now being funded.
"Is there no place in this system for a sport like ours which already has a huge participation base bigger than rugby union and cricket and is the second team sport to football, rather than just targeting medals?
"This will mean cutting in half the coaches, the training programmes, the sports science and sports medicine programmes on the road to Rio."
Liz Nicholl, chief executive of UK Sport, insisted that giving money to basketball would have diminished medal chances in other sports, and that the body had to stick by its strict 'no compromise' approach. She also denied there was any bias against team sports.
She said: "It is disappointing for basketball but if we compromise our investment and fund sports that have not got a realistic prospect of winning medals we will compromise those sports that can deliver.
"There is not a bias against team sports - we are funding hockey, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby."
She also denied it would rob basketball of developing its athletes to become role models.
"They are hardly role models if they are not winning - they become role models by winning," said Nicholl.
Several sports have been given an increase in funding with the big winner being triathlon, whose money goes up from £5.5million to £7.5million, a 36 per cent increase. Others with increased funding include canoeing, fencing, gymnastics, hockey, judo, sailing, shooting and taekwondo.
Sports whose funding has been reduced are swimming and badminton, while all others sports' money remains the same.
In Paralympic sport, funding has been withdrawn from five-a-side football, goalball and wheelchair fencing, while para-canoe has received the biggest increase.

Students Volunteer Nationwide Through the Tucker Foundation
Dartmouth Now
July 26, 2013
During the school year, Katie Zhang '16, spends a lot of time in the lab. This summer, though, she's traded the lab bench for a rooftop.
Zhang, an engineering major, is one of this year's 22 Dartmouth Partners in Community Service (DPCS) summer interns, a program run by the William Jewett Tucker Foundation. DPCS provides funding for students to work eight to 10 weeks for nonprofit organizations, including health clinics, youth centers, and schools in New York City, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Calif., and other places.
Zhang, however, is sticking closer to campus. She is spending the summer working at COVER Home Repair, a nonprofit based in White River Junction, Vt., that helps with home repairs for individuals and families who cannot afford them.
Zhang began volunteering occasionally with COVER on weekends during spring term. Now the Kansas City, Mo., native works 40 hours a week for the nonprofit. COVER performs repairs such as roofing and weatherization on homes within a 45-mile radius of White River Junction, Zhang says.
"I really like being on roofs, actually," she says with a smile. "It's great to go around the Upper Valley and get a better understanding of the communities we are a part of."

Three detainees in Villawood protestBianca Hall
Published: November 13 2012 - 2:00AM
THREE people staged a rooftop protest at Villawood detention centre in Sydney on Monday, with guards setting up mattresses below the trio.
The two women and one man are believed to be Fijians, and began their protest from early morning.
Lawyer George Newhouse, who acted on behalf of the family of 36-year-old Fijian national Josefa Rauluni, who leapt to his death in 2010, was visiting clients on Monday and witnessed the protest.
He said police did not appear to be on site and that centre management spreading mattresses below the trio would do little to prevent them from jumping from the roof.
''People jump over mattresses if they want to kill themselves … there's no police there at the moment. But when police are on a roof in this sort of heat, it is a high-risk situation …''
A Department of Immigration and Citizenship spokesman confirmed three ''clients'' were engaged in a rooftop protest and trained negotiators were on site.
''The detention services provider is engaging with them and encouraging them to come down,'' he said.
In December, New South Wales Coroner Mary Jerram found neither detention centre operator Serco, nor the department, had fulfilled its obligations to Mr Rauluni, or Iraqi asylum seeker Ahmed al-Akabi and Briton David Saunders, who both hanged themselves in the shower in 2010.
''When a government chooses to maintain a detention system it carries a heavy responsibility,'' she said.
She recommended detention operators use trained police negotiators to advise on high-risk situations.
The department spokesman said involving police was an ''operational'' decision.
Refugee Action Coalition spokesman Ian Rintoul said the protest was sparked when a female Fijian asylum seeker, scheduled for deportation on Monday, climbed onto the roof with two others at 7am to protest against her deportation.
He said the woman's husband was scheduled for removal today.
"The Immigration Department should withdraw the removal notice for both the wife and husband,'' Mr Rintoul said.
''That is the first step to de-escalate the situation and remove the threat of forcible removal.''

Les Echos, the French financial journal, begins its tribute to Antoine Bernheim, who died this week aged 87, by describing him as a "véritable Talleyrand" of business. So it's worth asking, as Metternich reputedly did when news of the wily French diplomat's death reached him: "What do you think he meant by that?"
Bernheim had been entrenched at the centre of a network of French and Italian finance for so long and with such influence that it is tempting to assume that his passing means the whole edifice is in jeopardy. Tempting, but, alas, wrong. Read more

Big Papi's homer holds up as Sox halt slide at five
Slugger's three-run shot, solid effort by 'pen back Webster's '14 debut
ST. PETERSBURG -- David Ortiz hit one high and deep enough Sunday afternoon that there could be no controversial fan interference.
Ortiz hit a three-run moon shot in the third inning, and it held up for the Red Sox in a 3-2 victory over the Rays in the finale of a three-game series at Tropicana Field.
It also marked the end of a seven-game road trip in which the Sox won the first and last games, but lost the five in between.
A day later, Ortiz got his 25th home run, the one that eluded him Saturday when a fan reached for his line drive and brought it over the wall before it could get there on its own for what was ruled a fan-interference double.
"I've never hit a ball like that, that creates controversy," said Ortiz. "Make sure it goes way over the fence so I don't have to deal with that [stuff]."
Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer, who served up the home run, did not enjoy Ortiz's emphatic bat flip, and added some fuel to the fire in the recent controversy between Ortiz and Rays ace David Price.
"I think it was a perfect example of what Price said," said Archer. "All of my interactions with him off the field have been good, but when it comes to him on the field, I don't know what makes him think that he can showboat the way he does, and then nobody can retaliate or look at him in a funny way or nobody can pitch him inside."
Made aware of Archer's words, Ortiz shrugged them off.
"What can I tell you, man? Players in today's game are too sensitive about things. I'll just leave it like that," said Ortiz. "I think he's a good pitcher. I think he's got great stuff. He's a guy that I think is going to be pretty good. But it takes some time to get to that level."
Ortiz's feud with Price has been ongoing. He didn't seen amused that a player fairly new to the Majors in Archer would jump in.
"Whatever, dude," said Ortiz. "There's always going to be comments out there. He's not the right guy to be saying that. He's got two days in the league, you can't be just complaining about [stuff] like that."
The Red Sox were just happy to leave Florida with a win, their first of the season at Tropicana Field in six tries.
Now they go back to Fenway Park, with Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline looming, hoping once more to fight back into contention.
Boston opens a seven-game homestand against the Blue Jays and Yankees on Monday night.
Allen Webster, who was called up to make the start in place of Jake Peavy, who was traded Saturday, competed well in his season debut.
The righty, who earned the victory, gave up three hits and two runs over 5 1/3 innings, walking five and striking out four.
"My body felt really good," said Webster. "My command wasn't as there as I wanted it to be, but I made the pitches when I needed."
After being shut out for the 11th time Saturday, the Red Sox needed a big swing, and they got one from Ortiz. The slugger ripped a three-run homer to right off Archer to break the scoreless tie in the third.
After getting booed by the fans at Tropicana Field all weekend, Ortiz gave his bat a hearty flip to the side before he rounded the bases on Sunday's blast.
"That's pretty much what I do," said Ortiz. "Pretty much a situation, tie game, something like that where you put your team ahead, you enjoy."
The Rays did rally in the bottom of the third. Curt Casali got it started with a one-out walk. Kevin Kiermaier reached on an infield single. Desmond Jennings mauled a two-run double to left-center to make it a one-run game.
Center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. helped snuff out a rally in the sixth by making a brilliant running catch against the wall in left-center on a drive by Evan Longoria.
Did Bradley know he could get it off the bat?
"Yeah, I did," said Bradley, adding to his season-long highlight reel of catches. "I got a good read off of it and just tried to track it down."
Junichi Tazawa, who struggled in Friday night's loss, fired a dominant eighth.
"Today might've been the best stuff he had all year," said Sox manager John Farrell. "There was conviction to every pitch he threw. I think the other night might've been the result of too many days down, four days off, but he was outstanding. Good command, power to his stuff, good split, good breaking ball. He was very good. The bullpen, to record [11] outs, they did an outstanding job."
Koji Uehara came on for the ninth and earned his 21st save.

Private clouds are all the buzz these days, so you'd be forgiven for thinking that everybody's doing it. But in fact, fewer companies than you might think have deployed 'true' private clouds.
Forrester found in a recent survey of 2,330 people that 26% of IT executives say they have a private cloud. But among those who claimed they have a private cloud, only 13% implemented the technologies that Forrester says truly define a private cloud, like self-service and automated provisioning, among other features. Instead, they built private environments that have some but not all the features of a private cloud.
Further, some businesses that are building private clouds would really be better off with a standard virtualized data center or with a public cloud, experts say. Around half the time, businesses build private clouds for the wrong reasons and should be doing something else instead, estimates David Linthicum, a consultant at Cloud Technology Partners.

Transportation is a major factor that helps older adults continue living independently and links them to the services they need. Whether they drive their own cars or utilize a public bus, older adults depend on accessible transportation to get them everywhere from the grocery store to their doctor's office.
Older adults who have difficulty getting around may find assistance from programs supported by the Older Americans Act (OAA). The OAA Supportive Services and Senior Centers Program funds a broad array of services including transportation assistance that enable seniors to remain in their homes for as long as possible. To learn more about this program, visit the Supportive Services and Senior Centers Program page on the Administration on Aging website.
