Frank, real and though-provoking. These words probably best describe the open letter penned by a group of "feminists in tech" about what being in the world of technology and being female really means.
The open letter was written by Divya Manian, Jessica Dillon, Sabrina Majeed, Joanne McNeil, Sara J Chipps, Kat Li, Ellen Chisa, Jennifer Brook and Angelina Fabbro.
In the letter, they talk about why they wrote it, their good and bad experiences, being a feminist in the tech world, promoting diversity of race and gender and advice to other women in the technology sector.
Below are a few passages:
Some of us identified as feminists before we came to this industry. Some of us only began to understand the relevance of feminism as we sought to understand what's been happening to us. Some of us felt that we didn't need the programs and events geared specifically towards women— until the bad stuff started happening to us. We thought they did more harm than help by calling attention to our gender, and we wondered what others were complaining about. It was hard to see until we suffered also.
Feminism is not a dirty word. Feminism is the radical notion that women are people, and that we want to be treated as equals. Don't let someone else pretend otherwise out of their own misguided notions.
Imagine if you were the only person like you on your team and when you left your computer and came back there was very graphic porn on your screen (a specific example that we have experienced). Knowing that saying you were uncomfortable would alienate you from the rest of your team even more than you already were; knowing that you would no longer get the mentorship from the senior staff that was involved in these disgusting pranks, would you dare to talk about how it made you feel?
We are tired of our male peers pretending that because they do not participate in bad behaviour, that it is not their problem to solve. If you see someone engage in bad behaviour and you do nothing, you've chosen to let that person think that what they did is okay. This leaves us feeling like we're fighting this alone. We can't work on what we can't see, but if you're there when it happens, you can help. It is absolutely imperative that men work with other men to combat bad attitudes and behaviour.
Not everyone may agree with the content, but these women do raise a number of valid points. You can read the entire open letter on About Feminism.

Please don't request for referral letters from politicians,We doctors don't discriminate
0 have signed. Let's get to 200!
Dear MPs and MLAs of India
India is a country of more than 1.2 billion people with most of the healthcare system is
dependent on tertiary care hospitals like AIIMS. Many of the patients from far off
areas come to AIIMS for better treatment. Many of the patients have a reference letter
from their local MPs or MLAs with recommendations for admission.
First of all, we request patients to demand better healthcare facilities in your area from
your local ministers instead of the recommendation letter. Tertiary care hospitals have
limited beds and facilities so it's your disease which will gets consideration for
admission and not the letter from ministers.
Secondly we request MLAs and MPs of India that whenever they send any
recommendation letter to tertiary care hospital, please send the copy of it to prime
minister office and union health ministry with demanding the same facilities of
healthcare in your area which you think is only available in tertiary care hospital at
Delhi. Every year around 63 million people are faced with poverty due to out of pocket
expenditure on healthcare. If we add the money spent on transport, accommodation
and survival in metropolitans then you can imagine the situation of diseased poor of
this country.
We hope our ministers will do something to improve healthcare facilities in their
respective constituencies rather than giving false hope to their voters with these
recommendation letters which have no value.
All of us together with the help of our honorable parliamentarians will built a healthy
and prosperous India.
Jai hind
Thanking you

Can Wikipedia Really Take Over the World?
Like the once-sprawling British Empire, the sun never sets on the cooperative database. But while Wikipedia is among the most popular websites in the world, non-English versions are poor shadows of the 15-year-old original version. And censorship, lack of internet access and the mobile vs. desktop battles are limiting Wikipedia's global hegemony. Founder Jimmy Wales isn't sure his free encyclopedia will ever be truly universal — but he's promoting it in places like China, arguing that it can bring not simply knowledge but economic growth to nations that embrace it.

Orbiting high above Earth in the International Space Station, astronaut Scott Kelly photographed a bizarre phenomenon while soaring over Central America. On the right is a red mass hovering above a blue and white thunderstorm [close-up in inset].
Purple tendrils plume from the storm toward the baffling red flash. Upon closer examination, the scarlet flash was determined to be a giant red sprite produced by the thunderstorm. So-called red sprites (first photographed in 1989) typically appear as branching red tendrils stretching above the region of a powerful lightning flash. The electrical discharges can reach as high as 55 miles into the upper atmosphere at high altitudes.
Although common, sprites are a rarely captured from either the Earth or space because the flash lasts mere milliseconds.For further details and photos, visit Discovery.com.

Naughten's climate plan is an 'F'-ing disgrace
Posted on April 19, 2017 by Oisín Coghlan
If Minister Naughten's draft climate plan was a fridge-freezer it would get an F-rating.
Click here to tell him we want a new plan that we can be proud of.
After 6 years Enda Kenny's Government has finally published a draft climate plan. But it's so awful it's embarrassing. In the face of the greatest threat humanity faces Ireland is looking for a free ride.
It's not really a plan at all, it reads like a discussion document. And it doesn't actually adopt any new actions to reduce Ireland's emissions.
Our political leaders are putting vested interests ahead of the public interest. And they are counting on the public not paying attention.
We want your help to prove them wrong.

What's possible in just one hour?
Posted on March 24, 2017 by Oisín Coghlan
This Saturday is the 10th annual Earth Hour, when people turn off their lights in a "a global moment of solidarity for climate action", as President Michael D Higgins called it today.
As a supporter of Friends of the Earth you know that symbols can be important, but they only get you so far in the struggle to shift Ireland to a more sustainable path. Our fight for a fossil free future is fought week in, week out against political indifference, bureaucratic inertia and vested interests.

Have you signed the fracking petition yet?
Posted on February 08, 2017 by Heather Mason
5657 people haven now signed our petition to tell the Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action to pass the Bill to ban fracking without delay.
But we don't have your name yet.
It has been retweeted across the world including by celebrities Susan Sarandon, Glen Hansard and Mark Ruffalo, to name a few who are showing their support.
The Bill is under a public consultation phase which ends this Friday, 10th February. We really want to pass 10,000 signatures before then with our sister petition on Uplift.ie (maybe you signed there?) which has 3220 names already.
Help us get to 10,000 signatures by the time the public consultation closes this Friday .

One win. One Fight. One Favour.
Posted on January 27, 2017 by Oisín Coghlan
One win ...
Last week we asked you to contact your TDs to ask them to support the Bill to divest state funds from fossil fuels. Yesterday the Dáil voted 90 votes to 53 to progress the Fossil Fuel Divestment Bill to the next stage. This is a real victory for people power given the Government steadfastly opposed the Bill and Fianna Fáil were on the fence right up to decision time.
Read our press release reacting to the historic vote: "This is first real sign of leadership from Ireland on climate action".

Fracking ban could stall unless we act now
Posted on January 24, 2017 by Kate Ruddock
A couple of months ago, the Dáil unanimously agreed to consider a law to make fracking illegal in Ireland. There were celebrations!
But now supporters of fracking are trying to bog it down in endless Committee discussions. Please sign this petition to tell TDs to pass the law without delay.
Tell TDs to ban fracking without delay.
The Oireachtas Committee considering the Bill want to know what the public thinks, and are asking you for your opinion on fracking and unconventional extraction of fossil fuels.
So, no time to rest on our laurels, we need to make sure TDs know the evidence is crystal clear: for our health, land, water and climate, fracking is bad news and should be banned.

Tomorrow belongs to us
Posted on January 19, 2017 by Oisín Coghlan
Tonight ...
The Dáil debates a Bill to divest taxpayers' money from fossil fuel companies, one of our top demands as part of Stop Climate Chaos.
And it hangs in the balance. We know all the smaller parties will support the Bill. The Government is likely to oppose it. Fianna Fáil are key and have been considering their position all week.
Supporters have been emailing TDs. But what would make the most difference now is a phone call. I called one of my TDs yesterday and it took less that 3 minutes.

The Future is Bright ...
Posted on December 22, 2016 by Oisín Coghlan
Yesterday was the shortest day of the year.
It was dark for 16 ½ hours.
Here in Ireland we just flicked a switch to put on the light. And got on with cooking, working, surfing, or relaxing by the Christmas tree.
For 1.2 billion people around the world that's just not possible. They have no access to electricity. 1 in every 6 people on Earth. When the sun goes down, life gets more complicated: cooking, washing, reading, homework, socializing, safety are all curtailed by a lack of power.
We want to help change that in 2017.
Because the future is bright. The future will Run on Sun.

Best described as powerful and charismatic, Texas quintet Fire From the Gods unleashes a new milestone with their smoking hot second album Narrative Retold.
Quite frankly prepare to be blindsided but just how intense the groove is on Narrative Retold, with skillful genre blending worthy of metal heavyweights like Candiria, Flaw, and Sevendust, taking the raw attitude of Southern rock and mixing in the charismatic flavors of reggae, hip hop, and good old fashioned cut throat heavy metal. Fire From the Gods basically represent everything the nu-metal movement in the late 90's was hoping to accomplish and most failed at tremendously. These guys, however, have found the secret formula to bring "opposite" genres like hip hop and heavy metal, punk etc together to create something 'magically delicious'.
Narrative Retold is ridiculously engrossing, while the first couple tracks are pretty damn good, the moment vocalist AJ Channer really let's loose on the mic with his earnest and rage fueled verses on the track "Excuse Me", the album pretty much explodes. While the band as a whole shows incredible flexibility and proficiency in genre blending, without over production or special effects, the stand out star is the insane versatility of vocalist AJ Channer. The talent encompassed in this human (or maybe he isn't human at all) is pretty prevalent; Channer isn't a metal vocalist that occasionally raps nor is he a rapper pretending he is a metal head, this dude just does what he does effortlessly and with brilliance. He seamlessly transitions his vocals and energy to best reflect the emotional landscape of the lyrics in the moment. Now mind you most of that emotional landscape is very, very angry but the way he harnesses that anger to vocalize it and his versatility is precisely how non-one dimensional a vocal performance should be. Tracks "Composition", "Pretenders", "Into the Blue", and even the acoustic bonus track version of "Excuse Me" are raw, primal and wholly unique. Narrative Retold will easily make any metal/hard rock/hip hop/punk/hardcore etc fans must have list of 2017.
Cliffs: Fire From The Gods is an appropriate name for this band because Narrative Retold is surface of the sun hot, it's available now so purchase a copy today.

Why marijuana affects different people differently
7/8/19--The psychological effects of marijuana can differ between individuals: some experience highly rewarding effects which may lead to dependence on the drug, while others may experience paranoia, cognitive problems or an increased risk of developing schizophrenia. The study, led by Laviolette and postdoctoral fellow, Christopher Norris, Ph.D., is newly published in Scientific Reports and reveals critical new insights into how marijuana can produce such highly diverse psychological effects in different individuals.

By: Neil R. Hoyt, Sr. – Vice President – Paragon Private Health
As we all know, the cost of health care is not cheap and seems to increase faster than most of us blink. There are countless reasons for this but that's an article and debate for another day.
Most Americans now have some level of health insurance as a result of various legislation passed over recent years. However, the prevailing trend has been our premiums continue to increase while our benefits continue to decrease – resulting in greater out-of-pocket expense.
Why would anyone who has insurance be willing to pay the annual fee for concierge medicine? After all, shouldn't their insurance cover their health care needs?
Theoretically it should. However, the reality is insurance really doesn't do such a great job of covering your needs or in supporting physicians in their quest to ensure all of their patients receive the care they need and deserve.
Enter concierge medicine. Physicians are tired, frustrated and seeking alternate care models which place the interests of their patients ahead of the interests of third party entities or corporations.
A concierge program gives a physician an avenue to provide a level of care that the health system and health insurance alone do not promote.
So is concierge care worth the price? The vast majority of patients who participate in concierge care programs agree that it is.
Concierge care is worth the price for patients who want direct access, more physician time, improved outcomes and a level of care and service not typically known in most traditional medical practices as a result of today's health system environment.
What's the cost of this type of care? Depending on the physician, the national average is $1,800 per year which is the equivalent to $4.93 per day (or $150 per month).
Think about your common discretionary expenditures and how much you spend on them monthly. The average American household now spends over $160 per month on cable TV and the Internet. A daily cup of specialty coffee will easily run a $5 per day.
So is it worth it? Only you can decide based on your individual circumstances and priorities. But if you do join a concierge practice the odds are extremely high your answer will be a resounding "yes".
About Paragon Private Health: Paragon Private Health (Paragon) creates, implements and manages best-in-class customized concierge medicine programs for private practice. Paragon has successfully helped many solo and group physicians with implementing concierge medicine programs, even those who had ruled it out in the past. Paragon helps physicians who want to completely transition their practice to a concierge model with full conversions, as well as partial hybrid program for physicians who want to include concierge medicine as an optional offering.

Chapter 2 – The Garden Man
Living alone in a walled garden that was too slick and tall to climb was a man, but he was not only separated from the rest of humanity by a wall, he was also separated by barren, rocky terrain and vast desert. The only source of fresh water was a river that was two furlongs wide and six cubits deep during the dry season. It wound through the garden and under the walls, watering the plants and animals within.
Asmodeus could understand why this interested Vetis. The man was completely secluded by both the walls and the surrounding terrain. No other humans lived within 16 furlongs of this area due to its extreme uninhabitability, and it was obvious to Asmodeus that no other demons lived within this area. There was no food. This man emitted neither discontent nor fear.
Asmodeus started to land on the wall then thought better of it. It was probably infused with pure light, and if that were the case, Asmodeus understood why they needed his human's help. If this were truly a place of god, neither Asmodeus nor Vetis would be able to enter.
Instead of landing, Asmodeus circled the garden to observe the man within.
Adam walked alone in the garden surrounded by beasts of all types – sheep, goats, cows, bulls, chickens, rabbits, cats, horses, zebras… While they were entertaining and he enjoyed caring for them, none offered him satisfaction or companionship beyond a nuzzle and a warm place to sleep. He could spill his seed into them as many times as he wished, yet nothing happened. They were not of his breed, and Adam only grew more frustrated to spite the beauty of the garden and ample food.
One night, as the moon hung low in the sky, Adam thanked god for the beauty and abundance in the garden, and he prayed for a woman he could spend his days with and continue his lineage just as the rabbits and horses. As he prayed, his eyes drifted shut and a deep sleep befell him.
First Chapter Preview
It was the beginning when a single star offered its dim light to the vastness of space, but there was already a war brewing, tormented by its own existence.
Rock exploded, fragmented and catapulted super heated chunks of molten hardness. Suddenly, there was matter where there had been none, planets where they did not exist before and tiny almost imperceptible lights in the sky. The lights were not close enough or warm enough to penetrate the rocky, barren crust of the Earth, and nothing existed beyond deep valleys and jagged cliffs.
The years passed slowly on this dark, uninhabitable planet. The darkness bred discontent. The desolation bred hostility, and out of this irritation came the first life form. Demons. They covered the planet, feeding off its hatred and hostility. It was an overabundant food source but not unlimited.
As the demons devoured the darkness, beams of purifying light emerged. At first, they were no more than a man's finger piercing through the black sky. The demons paid them no mind. They had no concern for the lights. They were slow moving creatures.
Eons passed. The fingers became hands. The hands dropped water onto the barren soil, moistening the long hibernating seeds. Rain flooded the deepest valleys and craters, creating running streams and oceans of life giving water.
Imperceptible green spouts emerged from the soil and new seeds lingered on fragile stems. Tumultuous winds tore those seeds from their stems and spread them wide and far, and they grew.
First, those tiny fragile seeds surrounded the oceans and rivers, thriving off the handfuls of light. As they grew and multiplied, they spread to the edges of the darkness where they produced a warming mixture of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen.
The expansion of light hastened, but what was this light? The answer would prove fatal. Any demon caught in the light singed and burned to nothingness.
The demons scrambled into caves where only a handful would survive to witness the beginning of mankind – homo-habilis, homo-erectus, and finally homo-sapien. As the humans grew and spread and the existence of darkness both in the caves and at night brought carnivorous creatures, and strange illnesses began to plague the human race. Infants died. Mothers screamed in agony. Fathers became weak and withered, and the demons became objects of rituals. They were dark angry gods to be appeased lest the rains did not fall, firstborn males died and disease and pestilence ravaged the dwellings.
With the rituals came learning, and one demon stood alone when he realized he could feed off the ceremonies and human fear, discontent and anger. Vetis inhaled their fear and anger, becoming powerful from within the darkness of his cave.
Unfortunately, the light still burned, which prevented him and every other demon who survived the onslaught from entering into the world of the humans. However, with every period of light came darkness. It was only a matter of time before the demons would learn to use the darkness to their advantage. Vetis was the first.
When the moon rose high in the sky, Vetis took one cautious step through the mouth of his cave. When there was no pain, he took another and another until he was strolling amongst the world's new population. They had solid bodies and could walk and communicate with each other in ways that Vetis could only dream. There had to be a way to walk among them in the light, and Vetis would find it.
In the meantime, he infiltrated their temples and fed from their rituals, growing stronger until he was joined by another. His name was Asmodeus.
Angered at the intrusion into his night, Vetis sought to destroy Asmodeus, pushing him out of the temples with demonic fire and brimstone and fighting him on open land.
Their battles raged far and wide, destroying villages and decimating the landscape, and as the human population dwindled, Vetis found himself pinned against a sharp rock hundreds of cubits in the air.
"Soon there will be no humans, and then what will you do, Vetis?" Asmodeus snarled, breathing his brimstone breath in Vetis' face. "Grow weak and wither until you are called to Hell under Lucifer's rule."
Vetis launched himself off the rocks with his powerful wings, hurling them toward the ground as he wrapped his dark gray hands around Asmodeus' black neck. "You will be the one cast back into Hell."
Asmodeus slammed one demonic foot into Vetis' chest, shattering his bones and freeing himself before they impacted the jagged, barren rocks below. He soared into the black sky just as the first rays of deadly light crested upon the horizon.
With Vetis injured but in pursuit, Asmodeus fled into the nearest cave. They fought through the day. Neither gaining nor giving ground until their black blood coated the rocks and the mountain above them trembled. From opposite sides of the cave, they snarled and gnashed their teeth.
"If we continue, the mountain will fall upon us," Asmodeus said as he watched a large gash on his arm heal.
"Then we shall declare an uneasy truce," Vetis said. "You will not enter my temples, and I will not enter yours."
Asmodeus frowned in contemplation. "If you cross into my territory, I will slaughter you."
"Then, you agree to my truce," Vetis said.
"I agree," Asmodeus said.
For more than a mega-millennium, Vetis and Asmodeus honored the invisible line they had drawn across the earth. It was not until 4,000B.C. that Vetis dared to cross the line, landing in front of Asmodeus as he walked across a field to a new temple.
"Vetis." Asmodeus snarled and narrowed his gaze.
"I am not here to fight you," Vetis said. "I am here to inform you."
"Of what?" Asmodeus asked.
"Have you seen the garden between our two lands?" Vetis asked.
"I have," Asmodeus said.
"There is a man inside," Vetis said.
"An insignificant man," Asmodeus said. "He is of no concern to me." He stretched his wings as if to take flight.
"He talks to god," Vetis said.
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow and lowered his wings. "Does he?"
"And I have heard his lineage is the key to our unhuman immortality," Vetis said.
"Explain yourself," Asmodeus said.
"I have seen a lesser demon posses a human," Vetis said. "We are far more powerful. By corrupting this man, we could possess his lineage and free ourselves of the caves and the darkness."
"You do not need my help," Asmodeus said. "Simply corrupt the man and possess him."
"I cannot do it alone," Vetis said as he circled Asmodeus. "I have heard you have a human who practices sorcery."
"What of her?" Asmodeus asked as he followed Vetis with his red eyes.
"With her help, we could gain human bodies and live infinitely in the human world," Vetis said.
"And what of her?" Asmodeus asked as he narrowed his gaze.
"Once we have our human bodies, we can change her, allowing her to live infinitely alongside us," Vetis said.
"How are you so certain?" Asmodeus asked.
"I have heard it whispered in the darkest caverns," Vetis said. "You could have your human for all time."
Asmodeus weighed Vetis' proposition. "This one thing. Then, we go our separate ways."
"Agreed," Vetis said.
Asmodeus watched him take to the sky before continuing his trek to the temple. He would need to observe this garden man. Asmodeus had thus far ignored him, deeming him useless. However, the odds of corrupting a man who speaks with god were so low that it piqued Asmodeus' interest.
How long did it take you to write Whence They Came: The Beginning?
A long time. I initially started writing the book in 2012. I wrote down about 30,000 words before I realized that it was too convoluted and the settings moved around too much to be a viable book. At that point, I put it away to think about it some more. I also realized in 2014 that I did not have the skill as a writer to write such a novel. I mean, I'm trying to interpret the bible from the devil's side while sticking to the same language you might find inside the bible. It's extremely difficult.
When did you start writing Whence They Came again?
I opened the book again in late 2017 and reread it. My initial thoughts on the text were the same. It was too convoluted and scattered, and it moved too far forward. I ended up cutting all but about 10,000 words and basically starting over. From that point, it took me perhaps three or four months to finish it.
What were some of the words you could not use in order to stay true to the source?
There were a lot of words I couldn't use. We're talking about 4,000BC. There's a lot of things that simply don't exist in that time-frame. They didn't call houses, houses, and tools and things like that were extremely limited. To complicate matters, the bible uses a lot of euphemisms to describe things, specifically sex, and the bible actually contains a ton of sex. Every time you see the word – Begat – it means sex. They also use terms like flower and ocean and river. It's never cock or penis, pussy or vagina, it's always something else.
What was the concept for the book?
The concept of the book was to tell the story from the side of evil, which it does. Everything in the book is told from either Lilith or Asmodeus' point of view. It's not really told from Adam and Eve's point of view. And obviously, it'll be a series. You can't cover all the bible in one book. It'd be hundreds of thousands of pages long.
What kind of research did you have to do for the book?
Quite a bit. Obviously, I had to read the bible again. I also had to look up early Mesopotamia and early cultures to try and figure out the setting, clothing, tools. Everything we take for granted every day, I had to look up. I also had to remind myself of Lilith's history and find a good demon that could travel with her.
How far in time does the book travel?
The book travels from the beginning of the world to the point where Caine establishes Enoch and has his son.
Was there any set time during the day when you wrote Whence They Came?
Usually, really late at night from about 1:AM until 3 or 4:AM, and I usually had to be in a really bad mood to write it. It's evil and dark and you have to be in that mindset.
What will the next book cover?
The next book will move forward from the City of Enoch to probably the flood. I'm not sure if it will include the flood, or it that will be in the third book. It depends on what the overall length looks like.
