Other Voices
The Read-In Series is a collaboration between the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art and the Willem de Kooning Academy, for its Critical Studies minor. The central theme for the 2016–2017 academic year is identity politics, with texts by Simone de Beauvoir and Lucy Lippard as departure points and examples for familiarising participants with feminist philosophy and colonial and post-colonial studies.
The list's 'other voices' derive from several authors' writings about identity and troubles. The perspectives include being a queer female philosopher writing about identity and language and 'gender trouble' (Judith Butler), and a black man's views on severe, commonplace racism and how people seem to internalise white preferences, thus suppressing their identity behind a 'white mask' (Frantz Fanon), to name just two. The four selected authors articulate, in their vital styles, reflections on identity – first, second, and third thoughts that invite us to question our considerations, identities, attitudes, and actions.
Identity (Again)1
Is being a woman, gay, a person of colour, or a person in between sexes and/or religions, or a combination of these and other variations that are present within in our classrooms really unproblematic for everyone? To continue or reclaim the discussion, we firstly need to look back and discuss various questions and ideas about specific concepts and troubles of identity.
Bodily Inscriptions, Performative Subversions2
Using 'the female body' as a reference, this chapter confronts us with troubles concerning feminist writers like Simone de Beauvoir. By defining others and ourselves, Butler explores the language and categories we use in this distinction. In doing so, she also criticises and questions the (feminist) idea of 'women' as a stable concept. Is there something essentially female about the female body, or is this body, any body, its gender, and its sex always culturally and politically shaped by external sources not intrinsic to this 'body'? From where do genders emerge? What do we mean with 'real' and 'natural' when we apply this to gender, sex, or race? What is cause, and what is effect? Referencing various philosophers, Butler delves deeper into these questions and the consequences of their answers for what we call identity, the other, and otherness.
The lived experience of the black man3
What it means to be the 'Other' is described in this text from the perspective of the author as a man being called a 'Negro'. Fanon writes about his experiences of being seen as a black body through the white, colonial gaze. He calls this experience 'the image of one's own body in the third person'. The kind of identity derived from this is one that is internalised via the other who directly addresses and identifies using terms such as 'a black person' or even 'a negro' or 'nigger'. This also leads to an internalised white gaze: the mask. In his personal, literary, and moving style, Fanon lays bare the consequences of such processes.
Age, Race, Class and Sex: Women Redefining Difference4
In this urgent essay, the Afro-American poet Audre Lorde addresses her contemporaries to redefine feminism: what are women doing together and to what extent are they doing it together? She articulates the problems within the feminist project through the many differences undermining its necessary solidarity. Lorde stresses the white, heterosexual, and elitist norms that dominate the discourse and field of feminism and the built-in white privilege of which many women are unaware. Since numerous 'sisters' remain outsiders for reasons of race or class, she calls for a more inclusive kind of feminism.
Happy Objects in the Affect Theory Reader5
After years of investigating bad feelings, Ahmed analyses and redefines what happiness is and does. How it is related to affect (being touched by something), intention (it is about something), and to even judgment. How feelings participate in 'making things good'. And how language plays an important role in this process of affective politics by deliberately articulating good feelings as a starting point. In this essay, the concept of 'identity' replaces shared affects. Happiness puts us into contact with things and in doing so we come to realise how we shape the world around us.

What Are the Limitations of a Company's Financial Statements?
Before investing in a company, many potential investors look at financial statements that the company generates to help gauge the strength of the business. While this is a common practice, looking at financial statements does not give you the whole picture. Company financial statements have a few inherent drawbacks to be aware of.
Differences in Accounting
One of the biggest problems with using financial statements to make assumptions about companies is that you cannot make apples to apples comparisons. Many investors use financial statements as a way to compare one company against another. The problem with this is that the companies may not use the same accounting methods. One might use first-in first-out inventory methods while another uses the average cost method. If you compare one against the other, it sometimes leads to the wrong assumptions.
Reliance on Numbers
Another potential problem with financial statements is that they often lead investors and managers to rely on numbers and financial ratios. While looking at financial ratios can be beneficial, it often does not give you the whole picture. A company might be working on something completely groundbreaking but currently it is not making much money. If you do not invest in a company only because it has a poor price-earnings ratio, you might miss out on some truly solid investments.
Fiscal Year End
Another potential problem with using financial statements to compare companies is the differences in fiscal years. Companies have the option of using a fiscal year instead of a calendar year for accounting purposes. If the fiscal year is ending at a different time for two companies, it is tough to make an accurate comparison of those businesses. When you want to make accurate comparisons of two companies, you sometimes need data from a full year.
Another problem with looking at financial statements is that you may not get an accurate picture of what a company actually represents. A diversified company may be difficult to fit into a particular classification of companies. For example, a company may be involved in telecommunications, software and health-related devices. When dealing with very large companies that have many different sources of income, the financial statements do not give you the entire picture.

Jackson Landers ponders why so many people claim something "tastes like chicken" when they try an exotic food. He goes into the evolutionary aspect of it, but first:
In order to answer this question, we need to start with chickens and work our way back through the evolutionary family tree.
Does chicken taste like chicken? Don't laugh—this is an important question. Even lifelong chicken eaters usually have a very narrow experience because the birds sold in grocery stores are usually one of a very few breeds that have been designed to grow a lot of breast meat very quickly in factory-farm settings. A Plymouth roasting hen slaughtered for market at 7 weeks does not make for the same eating experience as a 2-year-old Rhode Island Red. I once ate a bantam rooster that tasted more like iguana than a grocery store chicken.
The most interesting paragraph was the explanation of why fish do not taste like chicken:
Several barriers prevent fish from tasting like chicken. A chemical called trimethylamine, which develops after a fish dies and creates that distinctly fishy flavor and odor, is a big one. Texture also plays a role: Fishes' muscle structure is different from chickens'. Fish muscles are typically arranged in bands along the sides of the body and are separated by relatively less connective tissue than what is found in the muscle of their evolutionary descendants. These bands of muscle are what make cooked fish flaky. Fish muscles are relatively simple because all they have to do to move through water is perform a sort of sideways flopping motion. The muscles of land-dwellers like chickens, lizards, and frogs are more specialized and are designed for the more varied movement of individual limbs.
The conclusion? About 350 million years ago is probably when life began to taste like chicken.

I visited a friend at the hospital today. Her mom was there, too. We played a game of Scrabble during which I spelled "formerly, jig, nut, nutso, up, yum, zap," and a few other words that totaled 155. Even at nearly 25-years-old, it was only my second time playing, but I won the game. Why is it that Scrabble makes you feel like an idiot no matter how well you do? I don't know either.

Tucked away in Creekside Shopping Centre past the former Rona, Bro'kin Yolk opened its doors 2 weeks ago and fulfills the long awaited destiny of a brunch restaurant in the Northwest corner of the city. (Seriously, the only other brunch place within a 5km radius is an Eggs Oasis.) We arrived at 11am on a Friday morning and the place was already full, with a couple of people waiting in the entrance for a table. We were told that it'd be 40 minutes for a table for 2, and put down a number before heading over to the Tim Hortons next door.
I came here with Brittany, a former classmate who I hadn't talked to in over a decade. We got in touch again when I came across Holsem YYC on social media, a small business that Brittany founded not too long ago. Holsem is a service that delivers healthy, frozen meals to busy Calgarians, giving them "more time to do the things they love, fueled by foods the body loves". Sharon (lapettiteshar) has a great post over on her blog for more details on what Holsem is all about and I encourage you to check them out. 🙂
Brittany guessed that we would have a table within 15-20 minutes instead of 40, and she was right. I received a text stating that our table was ready, which was nice because I feel that sometimes restaurants just skip to the next customers in line if you're not physically there, even though they took down your number.
The interior was gorgeous, and the oodles of natural lighting helped make the place feel even more open than it already was. A light, natural colour palette permeates the space, while darker accent colours and patterns provide contrast.
Brittany and I kinda got lost in conversation, but soon realized that we've been sitting at our table for 15 minutes already and nobody had come by to greet us or ask if we had any questions. We had tons of time to contemplate on what we should order by this point, and eventually flagged down a waiter. He told us to wait a minute as he heads back towards the kitchen, seemingly confused and trying to figure out who was supposed to be serving us; it appeared as if nobody really knew. Coming back to our table shortly afterwards, he took our order and took decent care of us for the rest of our meal.
The Bro'kin Yolk specializes in house-made waffles, which come in quarter sections for $2 each. Toppings are an extra 50 cents, and are available in flavours such as White Chocolate Lavender or Drunken Berry Compote. Other items on the menu include Eggs Benny (made with waffles instead of English muffin!), Breakfast Poutine, classic breakfasts, and sandwiches. With only a limited number of servings per day however, the Chicken and Waffles is one of the more prominent offerings. Check the chalkboard at the entrance as you walk in to see if there's any left!
Seeing as the Chicken and Waffles was still available, ordering it was a no brainer. The presentation was simple, with two modestly sized pieces of fried chicken coupled with sides of maple honey hot sauce and gravy. The waffle was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, giving it that audible delicious crunch when you bite into it. The chicken on the other hand, wasn't bad but could've used a bit more seasoning. I appreciated how the sauces came as a side, this way you can control when and how much you want to use instead of your waffles being drenched and soggy.
I personally enjoyed this dish with the gravy a lot more, maybe because I was looking for some classic, savoury comfort food on that rainy day. The hot sauce just didn't complement the chicken & waffles in the same way for me, while Brittany liked it most when the two sauces were mixed together. Call me crazy, but next time I order Chicken & Waffles here, I want to try it with one of the waffle side toppings. Just imagine.. White Chocolate Lavender Chicken & Waffles!
Next up, we have the short rib hash. The slow cooked short rib was soft and flavourful, while the sunnyside up eggs gave off that golden colour as if you won a trip to Charlie's chocolate factory. Many of the dishes actually come with hash, which The Bro'kin Yolk proudly identifies as being hand-cut, twice fried and tossed in duck fat. I thought that the hash itself (w/ peppers & onions) was satisfactory but nothing too special.
When it came time to pay, the wireless credit card machine had troubles picking up signal from where we were sitting, so our waiter had to walk around with it for the payment to go through. I did find this to be slightly amusing, although it definitely wasn't a big deal. Price and portion wise, the Bro'kin Yolk is comparable to most of the brunch places on Edmonton Trail, and you're still going to have a long wait on the weekends. Location wise however, it's much more convenient for us folks in the Northwest and offers ample amounts of parking.
A nice touch was the kids menu and high chairs, making this place more family friendly than some of the alternatives. It's clear that the Bro'kin Yolk team has put in a lot of hard work into their new store, but there's also a lot of hard work ahead as they try to iron out some issues. Overall, I'm eggcited to finally have a brunch spot in the Northwest and would return in the future to try some of their other options when things have settled down a bit.

Superjoint Ritual Reunion, GWAR, Voivod + More Added to 2014 Housecore Horror Film Festival
Philip H. Anselmo just keeps giving us reasons to visit Austin, Texas, for the 2014 Housecore Horror Film Festival. With a stellar lineup already in place, Housecore Horror just revealed a new round of acts, including GWAR and a Superjoint Ritual reunion!
Housecore Horror is shaping up to be a must-experience festival yet again. The lineup was already rich with acts such as Danzig, Samhain, Eyehategod, Neurosis, Cattle Decapitation and Portal signed on to play, but in the most exciting announcement yet, GWAR, Voivod, Corrections House, Mobile Deathcamp, Warmaster and Superjoint Ritual (who will perform under the name of Superjoint) have all been confirmed.
The resurrection of Superjoint parallels the triumphant return of GWAR, who performed their first show last weekend since the death of Dave Brockie. "I just got back from the GWAR-B-Q and can honestly say that, despite their monumental loss, the band proved that GWAR isn't just one man," says HHFF Creative Director Tammy Moore. "It's a collective that more than lives up to it's bigger than life mythos. These guys love Phil and the Housecore Fest and we're completely stoked that our patrons will get to see first-hand why Oderus himself must be beaming from the home planet at the force with which his brothers carry on the legacy!"

Posted: 4:47 p.m.
By Brett Ballantini
GLENDALE, Ariz. Mark Buehrle suffered through a second straight subpar start, this time at the hands of the Chicago Cubs, as the Chicago White Sox fell 4-3 at Camelback Ranch on Friday afternoon.
Buehrle was hammered for three runs (two earned) and six hits in just three innings of work, burning through 63 pitches and raising his ERA to 7.88. The outing included uncharacteristic wildness (two walks), a rare error by the two-time Gold Glover, and a gopher ball served up to Carlos Pena, his fist round-tripper of the spring.
I was supposed to be building up innings, but my innings are going downhill instead of going uphill, Buehrle said. I was a little more wild than you want to be but its spring training and Im getting pitches in and building stuff up.
This was the first time I saw him a little upset after the game. Maybe it carried over from the last outing, when he was hit pretty well, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. I dont remember Buehrle having too many good springs.
A three-run rally by the White Sox fell short, although the South Siders did notch three late runs, one on a Stefan Gartrell double to deep left-center, two on a 420-foot blast by the following batter, Lastings Milledge.
Jeffrey Marquez, Will Ohman and Jesse Crain relieved Buehrle and had almost perfect results, Marquez offering up one hit and striking out three and Crain allowing just one runner on a hit batsman. Ohman retired the Cubs 1-2-3 and has had a glistening spring, with four innings of perfect pitching.
There are a few people who have picked it up, Guillen said. Now that Dayan Viciedo is not on the map, Milledge has played pretty well. Alejandro De Aza and Lilly Brent Lillibridge also have had good at-bats.
I said a couple of days ago that nobody has stepped up and I didnt see anything special. Now the players got the message and are swinging the bat better You dont need to go 4-for-4 to make this ballclub, you need to play the game well, and I will pick the right guy.
But the story of the gameeven this relatively meaningless one, smack dab in the middle of spring trainingwas Buehrles rough start digging another early hole for the White Sox.
Im more frustrated than I should be for a spring training start, Buehrle said. Being competitive, I dont like getting hit around. Im not overpowering; Im not going to throw the ball by guys, so its like I make a couple of good pitches, and they get hits, and then I miss a spot, and they hit the ball hard. Its frustrating that when Im hitting my spots, theyre putting the ball in play and hitting holes.
I just worry about Mark on April 1, Guillen said. Besides that, the only thing I can wait for is him to be healthy, get out of spring training and be ready for the season.
The White Sox didnt do much to back Buehrle, mustering just two hits (and striking out seven times) in the first six innings off of Cubs starter Ryan Dempster and reliever Sean Marshall.
In the ninth, White Sox reliever Anthony Carter was touched for back-to-back doubles, pushing across the North Siders final run.
10 vs. 10,000
Making his rough effort all the more annoying to Buehrle is that he did it in front of the White Sox biggest game of the season.
Yeah, you get a little more adrenaline going playing in front of 10,000 fans instead of 10 gets you going a little bit more, Buehrle said. It is a spring training game and we were joking around coming into it that its too early in the spring to have a pressure situation, but its good to play in front of a big crowd so it feels more like the regular season.
First: Ozzie on Quade
When asked whether hed have any advice for his new managing counterpart, Mike Quade, Guillen felt it wasnt quite his place to advisethen offered plenty anyhow.
Its hard to predict what will happen in Chicago, Guillen said. Coaching in Chicago before, its different to go through it as a coach than it is as a manager. I know hes not going to lose his hair, thats for sure. I guarantee that, he wont lose his hair. And hes not going to get gray.
I always say Chicago, sometimes Chicago people are like the weather. Sometimes theyre nice, sometimes theyre not. One day, theyre beautiful, the next day they hate you. You have to live with that. Fans in Chicago are pretty tough; media in Chicago is pretty tough; radio is pretty tough. You have a couple of good games, they love you. All of a sudden you lose a game, and they hate you. You have to be prepared and have very thick skin to handle it, take one day at a time and hope for the best. But anybody who coaches or manages in Chicago know they are on the hot seat every day. No matter what you do, you will have more negative than positive. You have to be prepared for that.
Guillen doesnt know Quade too well, but has heard enough to give a ringing endorsement.
This man is a great baseball man, Guillen said. I kind of like that, because a lot of people say he doesnt have a name and stuff. Hopefully he puts that team in a position to win and puts them in a good spot. This guy has been in baseball so long; I know hes happy to have the job. I hope the players play well for him and hopefully he keeps the job. The players are the ones who fire the coaching staff. Its not the general manager, its the playershopefully the players play well for him.
Second: Speechless Ozzie?
Guillen showed writers a letter from Dallas Green that was sitting on his desk postgame, thanking him for his role in Mondays fundraising game in Tucson. The ebullient manager recounted catching the ceremonial first pitch from the longtime executive, whose granddaughter, Christina Taylor-Green, was killed by a gunman in a mass shooting in January. Simply recounting the story of talking with Green before the game was giving the confident manager goose bumps.

| 7.1°C Belfast
A United Nations official has refused to back down over criticism of the so-called "bedroom tax" after calls from Tory chairman Grant Shapps for her to apologise.
Raquel Rolnik, the UN special rapporteur on housing, stood by her attack on the policy which she said was causing "great stress and anxiety" to "very vulnerable" people.
She insisted that her visit to inspect housing in the UK had been on the invitation of the Government and said she had met housing minister Don Foster and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles during her stay.
"The right to housing is not about a roof anywhere, at any cost, without any social ties," she said in a news conference in central London to publicise her inspection's preliminary findings.
"It is not about reshuffling people according to a snapshot of the number of bedrooms at a given night. It is about enabling environments for people to maintain their family and community bonds, their local schools, work places and health services allowing them to exercise other rights, like education, work, food and health."
She added that she had been "deeply touched" by the testimonies she had heard from people affected by the policy including single parents and grandparents who look after grandchildren in their homes. She said "many people" were increasingly having to choose between food and having to pay the "penalty."
Ms Rolnik's remarks come after Mr Shapps said he had written to UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon demanding an apology and explanation for her "disgraceful" comments. He insisted the UN investigator had not been invited to Britain by ministers and was biased.
"She has clearly come over with an agenda," he told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.
"It is completely wrong and an abuse of the process for somebody to come over, to fail to meet with Government ministers, to fail to meet with the department responsible, to produce a press release two weeks after coming, even though the report is not due out until next spring, and even to fail to refer to the policy properly throughout the report.
"That is why I am writing to the secretary general today to ask for an apology and an investigation as to how this came about."

Peter England eyes 20% growth, to add 100 stores this fiscalWednesday, August 13, 2014 l Source: PTI
Peter England, the largest menswear brand in semi- premium category, today said it will be launching 100 more exclusive stores this fiscal to help fuel the targeted 20 per cent volume growth.
"Our last fiscal performance was quite robust. We grew by almost 25 per cent, which is much ahead of the market and helping the brand cross the Rs 1,000-crore turnover mark for the first time," company's Chief Operating Officer Kedar Apshankar told PTI here.
This year, the brand from Madura Garments from the Aditya Birla group, should be able to grow at least by 20 per cent over the past fiscal, Apshankar added. The company official said the company, which sells 10 million garments every year, achieved this figure mostly though sales from existing stores, mostly in smaller towns.
"We added close to 75 exclusive stores last fiscal, taking out total outlets to 650, and by the end of this financial year we should have at least 750 stores," he said.

Lots of Prospects, But With No NHL Season, What Kind of Draft Will We See
Teams picking in the top twenty in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft are about to get great additions…and the rest of the first round also provides great potential.
This draft keeps on blossoming with new outstanding future players more than any in recent memory. Besides the top two players who may have locked their draft slots, there are a couple who in other years, might have wrestled away those top slots from the other contenders. Moreover the top 15 plus are filled with combinations of size, grit, scoring and potential, dwarfing 2012 and the drafts before.
But the potential keeps going far into second round, and I think I can go out on a limb and say some team(s) are going to draft third rounders who will eventually out-perform many of the first round selections from their recent drafts.
Where 2011 and 2012 showed thickness of potential far into the 90's, 2012 shows girth well past that! The combination of intriguing lesser knowns and undrafted first, second, and third year eligibles might prove to make this a very special draft.
The biggest question might be when the draft takes place, will it be one whose order is determined by 2012-13 league and playoff standings, chance lottery, or some combination weighed upon by past season performances, if the entire season is scraped.
If you recall the last 2005-2006 NHL lockout occurred just prior to the draft year of the "next one" Sydney Crosby.
The teams didn't play an entire season, so a worst team couldn't be decided by schedule results.
The plan that the league came to agreement on was one in which all teams would be assigned 1 to 3 balls based on their playoff appearances and first overall draft picks from the past three years. Four teams (Buffalo Sabres, Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins) got three lottery balls, ten teams (Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Atlanta Thrashers, Calgary Flames, Carolina Hurricanes, Chicago Blackhawks, Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, Nashville Predators, Phoenix Coyotes) got two balls, and sixteen teams (Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Florida Panthers, Montreal Canadiens, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals) got one ball.
All teams balls were combined and selected one after another until all 30 teams had their slots, none based on schedule or weight, but simply by luck of the lottery.
Balls or not, luck played highly into the odds, because after three balls Pittsburgh won the main prize, " two ball teams" occupied the 2-4 slots, with "one ball" Montreal, drafting Carey Price fifth overall, and the other "three ball" teams in need of high drafts not selecting until sixth (Columbus), twelfth (New York Rangers) and thirteenth (Buffalo) respectively.
Moreover, the selection worked its way up to 30 as usual; then instead of repeating the order as in past years, the draft "snaked" back down to the team with the first pick. In other words, the team with the first pick overall would not pick again until the 60th pick. The team with the 30th pick would also get the 31st pick, similar to many fantasy league drafts.
I am not sure if the snaking idea was done so that the lower teams could get a quicker chance at the later guys or if it was to make sure the winner and early selecting teams didn't get a second chance to draft before everyone else went twice.
Who besides Pittsburgh were winners in this draft? Did any team strike gold twice in the first two rounds?
My opinion is only four teams were able to get NHLers in those first two rounds. Vancouver's slots yielded the late Luc Bourdan and Mason Raymond, Phoenix two slots would have gotten them both Martin Hanzel and Paul Stastny had they not traded that second rounder, Dallas picks brought them Matt Niskanen in the first and James Neal in the second, and Detroit gained two serviceable players in Jakub Kindl and Justin Abdelkader.
By the way, the real winners of the 2005 Draft were Los Angeles Kings who had Anze Kopitar fall to them at 11th overall plus goaltender Jonathan Quick (72nd over all in the 3rd round) and Pittsburgh who were gifted Crosby and Kris Letang with the first pick in the third round. The Phoenix draft slots had Martin Hanzel, Paul Stastny, and Keith Yandle (108th overall) selected in them, but not all by the Coyotes. And it has to be said that this was prior to the rule changes that made way for undersized skilled defenders like Letang, which may have been the reason for his availability.
Will this sort of draft be established if we are unable to see a season of NHL hockey?
No one will even venture to guess what sort of draft will be created.
The one thing I feel very certain about is that no matter what way the draft is set up, there is a plethora of prospect talent available in this 2013 group, so much more than 2005 offered. No team will be left short-changed with this many apples in the barrel to be shot at.

What is it
A sanctuary is a place where the animals can live the rest of their life in freedom and away from any form of exploitation. In some cases (depending on the size and location of the sanctuary) they serve as a temporary refugee for some animals until a responsible family adopts them.
All the activities that are carried out in the sanctuary are for the animals and they do not pursue any benefit for the humans. The relationship between humans and non-human animals is based on respect and equality. Therefore every sanctuary seeks to provide each inhabitant a high quality of life, this at time limits the number of animals that can be taken in. This is particularly important to ensure that the minimum requirements of the inhabitants are met.
In sanctuaries, animals are not confined to cages or locked up in kennels (like it happens in shelters), they are free to roam around the land. At times the animals are separated according to their species however this is to ensure their own safety and to meet the requirements of each species.
It is important to note that animal sanctuaries are not just dedicated to rescuing and caring for animals, they also play an important role in raising awareness and educating society about animal exploitation. The moment when human animals learn to respect the rest of the animal species, exploitation will cease to exist.
Contrary to zoos, sanctuaries encourage the interaction between human animals and non-human animals by promoting respect and equality between the species. Many sanctuaries do not permit the public to visit, while others allow planned visits to the sanctuary so that visitors do not disturb the routine and peace of the inhabitants. Visitors are not charged an entry fee however they can offer donations, which will continue to fund projects and benefit the animals. Donations do not profit the people that run the sanctuaries.
In sanctuaries, like El Hogar Animal Sanctuary, veganism is promoted as a way of life. To be vegan is to respect all living beings and therefore foods consumed should be vegan (no animal products or derivatives), animals should not be used for any purpose such as experimentation, fashion or for fun.
In conclusion, the aim of the sanctuaries is to change the way humans think about non-humans and how they should be treated with respect and equality.

Ballmer: Facebook is worth what investors will pay and Kinect is for girls
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is always an entertaining person to listen to. Whether you love or hate his work, the man has a forceful personality that imbues his words with enough conviction to keep anyone interested.
The USA Today was granted an interview with the man himself, and we have taken the time to extract the best, and juiciest quotes for you to enjoy. If you wish, you can read the full interview here.
On the Xbox 360:
Xbox isn't a gaming console. Xbox is a family entertainment center. It's a place to socialize. It's a place to watch TV. We have Hulu coming. It's the only system where you are the controller. Your voice, your gestures, your body.
On Kinect:
I want that average 15-year-old girl […] excited about the Kinect.
On Facebook's valuation:
It's worth exactly what investors will pay for it. They're a great partner, and I love them.
On Bing's Growth:
We bet on Bing and are growing like a weed.
What is coming next:
People will focus on two things: natural user interface and the Cloud, with natural interface meaning voice, touch, vision recognition.
And while you may suspect that we love to cover anything Ballmer related merely to have the excuse of using one of the myriad comical pictures of him, we promise that we are in no way swayed by such frivolity.
Ballmer seems to be in high spirits, and deservedly so. Now, he just needs to get that stock price moving.

From Omission to Non-Denial Denials
On November 5 I published a piece on David Swanson's well-made case in an interview on voting independent, with a few deservedly strong words on 'The Real News' sharing common characteristics with way-too-many pseudo or semi-alternative news outlets backed by the same-alphabet-soup of foundation backers and tainted by the same-divisive & destructive-partisanship. You can watch the interview clip in question and read my commentary here.
This morning I received a rant-full and long-winded e-mail from Mr. Paul Jay- the founder and host of this not very real 'Real News' network- filled with lawsuit threats against me, poorly-argued points, omitted facts, non-denial denials, and a few plain old lies. Per his request and happily I just posted his e-mail response in the comment section of my commentary post here. Okay, now I want to further highlight and elaborate on my factual statements and assessment of Mr. Jay and his enterprise ironically (and uncreatively) called 'The Real News.' In order to do this I am going to take one point at a time, put each in context, provide real examples and parallels, and let you assess each one's validity.
One of the major points I made in that commentary had to do with the classic case of so-called independent alternative news outlets being funded by the same small group of agenda-driven corporate foundations either to the Right or the Left of the illusionary political spectrum. This fact, call it a phenomena, I'd call it a disease, applies equally to many Non-Profits (sold and marketed as grassroots activism non-profit non-governmental organizations.). Last year I wrote a comprehensive series on this topic: Corporate-Foundation Sugar Daddies & Their Lap Top NGOs. I know my pieces are long, but they are filled with facts, statistics and citations, and considering the applicability to this post I urge you to go and read them- at least glance over the facts and analyses: Click here.
In my criticism of the not-so-real 'The Real News' I emphasized the significance of the partisan corporate-foundation backing of news outlets- whether by those on the wrongly-named 'Right', or, completely-misguided 'Left.' I always ask my readers to ask and answer the following question: Why do corporate foundations such as Rockefeller-Ford-Soros-Carnegie-Packard … (you name it) dish out millions of dollars in funds to particular organizations (news or NGO)? How could there be no string(s) and expectations (and influence) attached? How could the recipients ever go against the hands that feed them? Well, all these points and questions apply to 'The Real News' and its founder Paul Jay. Here is how:
In his threat and rant-filled e-mail Mr. Jay did not go as far as denying his mega-dollars funds coming from mega corporate foundations and mega corporate families and individuals. In fact, he openly admitted to a few (only a few; we are yet to be provided with others-the complete list)-[All Emphasis Mine]:
"…we have received money from three corporate foundations. In 2005, we received $250,000 from the MacArthur Foundation. The same year we received $100,000 from Ford Foundation. … The only other corporate foundation grant we received was $250,000 from the Knight Foundation in 2010 for improving our website… TRNN funding comes from two primary sources. About a third from small donors, and the balance from small family foundations or large donor individuals."
Interestingly, nearly one million dollars of Mr. Jay's 'Real News' funding comes from some of the same foundations we covered and talked about in our series last year. Now, Mr. Jay is careful not to mention the names of his 'small family foundations' or 'large donors.' You see, when we covered DC lapdog NGOs funding sugar-daddies (and Mommies) we talked about several Rockefeller and Rockefeller-like owned and operated 'small-er family foundations'. How many of such 'small family' foundations fund this 'Real News'? … well, we don't know. How many of these very wealthy individual donors are active mega-corporate heads and or in charge of Democratic Party HQ operations? … hmmmm, we don't know that either. In fact, here is a glaring fact:
If you visit 'The Real News' website, click their 'About Us' section, and then click the 'Financial Information' button, aha, then you see … NOTHING. Comb their entire sanitized website and you won't find a single piece of information on corporate foundation backers such as Ford, MacArthur or Knight. You will find zilch on Mr. Jay's tiny-meeny-miny-moe family foundations that may (highly possible) include Rockefeller, Carnegie, Soros or the like.
When you are clean, and when you are not hiding anything, you don't 'omit' information like that. I am proud to say, and as clearly indicated on our website, we have received 'Zero' dollars from any foundations whatsoever - whether mega-corporate foundations such as Ford or tiny-meeny-miny-moe family foundations such as Rockefellers. We have never accepted any donation above $500 by any individual 'wealthy' donor. As for Mr. Jay, if he sees nothing wrong in accepting mega bucks from mega foundations, as indicated in his e-mail, then why is he hiding these facts and donors and sanitizing his website from any of their traces? Contradiction, ey? Filled with omissions, and non-denial denials, ey?
Next, Mr. Jay says he's been covering all sides, independently, and with no partisan flavor. I spent a couple of hours and checked his website. I don't have lots of time to spend in such tainted sites, and I would like for our readers to double-check this:
I don't see any libertarian-leaning guests or analysts in Mr. Jay's so-called 'Real' news site. I don't see any analysts or reporters or distinguished guests with conservative views either. News is supposed to be news. Paul Jay seems to be regularly wiping out over 60% of our nation's view points, beliefs, stand, arguments … Hmmmm, what's the difference between FOX & Paul Jay's 'Real News'? What's the difference between Paul Jay or Daily Kos operators? I don't see any. I don't see the 'real' in 'The Real News.' There ain't nothing real with highly-partisan, one-sided, and completely tainted sites like this.
Let me give you an example: This morning I posted a podcast episode by Eric Draitser on Sandy-Obama-National Healthcare. I may disagree with 50% of the viewpoints in this particular episode, but we present all sides at Boiling Frogs Post. That's one key of the ingredients of a 'real news' site. We have libertarians, we have conservatives, we have ultra-liberals, and we have no-body-in-particular - like me.
Mr. Jay also engages in what I have to call plain lying. He claims his network had invited me for interviews several times but that I had always refused. This is completely, utterly, 100% false; this constitutes a major lie. Until 2011 I kept Mr. Jay's e-mail and his website e-mail on my list for press-release/news/activism and whistleblower related developments. Every single attempt to get their coverage of very significant issues under the Obama administration has been rebuffed by the site. Let me give you a few examples:
Obama receives 'Transparency Award' given to him by a handful of partisan NGOs supported by the same foundations who support Mr. Jay's 'Real News,' despite being the worst president in history when it comes to whistleblowers and secrecy. Please watch the following clips on our attempts to bring this to light:
Now, please go find 'The Real News' coverage of this significant news and the even more significant consequences and implications that come with it. Well, this was NOT due to Mr. Jay personally not knowing or not being asked to provide 'real' coverage. I guess it was due to having a 'wrong party president' to criticize. I am certain that if it was George Bush who received this award we'd have had a real 'Real News.'
Other examples include the shunning of Bradley Manning by Corporate-Foundation Lapdog organizations such as POGO. Ooops, Ford, MacArthur, Knight, happen to sponsor and fund both 'Real News' and 'Lapdog Organizations.' Never mind. Let's see, Obama's Justice Department classifying my entire book manuscript. Oooops, this news would have contradicted Mr. Jay's fund-ers' award to that same president. Never mind. I could come up with several other significant examples, but rest-assured Mr. Jay's Real News was not going to allow the airing of that kinda real news.
I say it again: No. despite many past attempts we received never an invitation from The Real News to help air the truth. Never.
Mr. Jay claims that he only plays the devil's advocate with his guests such as David Swanson who advocate for real change. I want you to watch this clip from his interview and tell me how you view it? Let me give you one glaring example- This ugly disgrace to the news broadcasting profession reduces Obama's wars to 'Afghanistan', and willfully omits his many other ongoing wars: Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Daily Droning of Pakistan, Syria, and his prelude to war on Iran (sanctions, false-flag setting, and more in place already): Watch here.
I hate to keep going on and on, making this post longer and longer, so I will combine a few other points in response to Mr. Jay's e-mail attack:
I stand by my words: I consider The Real News utterly and willingly blind and partisan. They are one-sided. They are funded and supported by agenda-driven mega-corporate foundations, and un-named (secret) dynasty-wealthy partisan family foundations. Many 'Real' news and issues related to the Obama administration have been regularly censored by this website, including: Obama's mock award, DOD burning of whistleblower books, DOJ censoring and blacking out whistleblower's book, Obama's not-so-secret perpetual and many-fronted wars (no Paul, it ain't only Afghanistan) …
And finally, I have my personal definition of 'Ugliness.' It's quite unique-it is my personal view/outlook. It is neither all physical nor all spiritual. I never intend to insult but state my view- as I see it. With that said I truly consider you and your likes 'Ugly People;' utterly ugly-inside and out. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; may your beauty shine in the eyes of your masters-funders, Mr. Paul Jay.

My interest in raiding has gone down significantly since the big lolpatch. The newly buffed DPS and nerfed bosses mean the fights are hollow parodies of themselves. Particularly the big coordination fights like Kael'thas or Illidan; now you can just power through them without spending weeks learning them first. But like everyone else I do appreciate being able to see new content, in my case Sunwell. Before the nerf we didn't expect to ever go in there. And Sunwell is still a pretty good challenge for us.
Kalecgos is a fascinating fight. The gimmick is there's two realms you phase between; in one realm you fight a dragon, in one you fight a demon. And you have to kill them both at the same time. But individuals in your raid can only move between realms every minute or so in a chaotic process all the strategies try to codify as a "portal dance". It's a real challenge to have the right people on each side of the fight at the right time, particularly since chaos always disrupts your coordination. Last night I finally figured it out and did a good job thinking on my feet. In our kill two of our three tanks got ported to the demon realm at the same time, totally screwing up rotations. But we adjusted and I figured out how to split myself off from my fellow tank so we weren't always in the same place. Towards the end we were short DPS on the demon so even though it was my turn to tank him I didn't, staying in cat form and DPSing until the last possible second. I think that was the right call, and I liked having to figure that out on my own.
Brutallus, by contrast, is pretty simple. There's some trick about positioning and switching between two tanks, but the real challenge of this fight was DPS. It's a big DPS race and before the nerf a lot of raids had a hard time beating the enrage timer. Now post nerf it's not nearly so hard, we've killed him several times with minutes to spare. What I like about this fight now is it's the only DPS fight that lasts long enough that I can really test out my cat DPS rotation. I've got my sustained DPS up to about 1900 now, compared to 1400 when 3.0 started. That makes me about 5th on the DPS charts on Brutallus if Recount is right, which is just fine by me. Most of my improvement comes from learning how to use Tiger's Fury and keeping Rake up. I still get behind on the rotation sometimes, still room to optimize, but I'm not going to stress about it too much until level 80. Here's the damage breakdown:

Dogs Get Petty About Treats
Dec. 9 -- MONDAY, Dec. 8 (HealthDay News) -- It's a dog-envy-dog world, and a jealous dog isn't likely to take it lying down.
According to new research in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, dogs who sense that another canine is getting better treatment will go on strike, er, make that a paw strike. They refused to "shake hands" if they weren't getting equal "pay."
For this experiment, dogs and their owners were divided into pairs. The paired dogs sat next to each other, with owners behind them, and were asked to put their paw into the researcher's hand. Once the "shake" was successfully completed, each dog was rewarded with either a piece of sausage or a piece of bread.
But if the dog who "shook" was denied its treat and the partner was not, resentment seemed to build up, with the denied dog eventually refusing to lift its paw.
Dogs stopped cooperating earlier if another dog was present than if they were on their own in the same scenario. They also appeared more stressed if a partner was getting a reward and they weren't than if they were denied rewards in a solo setting.
The quality of the reward itself didn't matter to the canine subjects.
The immediate good news for dog owners is that you don't have to feel guilty if one dog is getting liver and the other a regular dog biscuit (as long as both pooches are getting something).
Of course, it's not truly clear if "envy" is the right word to describe these patterns. "Envy implies a certain emotional state and a thought process, at least by the classic definition," said Bonnie V. Beaver, a professor in the department of small animal clinical sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences at Texas A&M University in College Station. "We don't know what they're thinking. We know that at least without appropriate rewards, they're not willing to continue working. This gives us a scientific procedure that allows us to give better evaluation."
But precise definitions don't really matter, as the potential significance of the findings goes beyond that.
This "sensitivity to inequity" may be crucial in the evolution of cooperation.
According to the study authors, from the University of Vienna in Austria, it had once been believed that this trait belonged only to humans.
But previous studies have suggested capuchin monkeys and chimpanzees also express resentful behavior when there's not equal pay for equal work. However, in these species, the quality of the reward did matter.
Other animals, including wolves, African wild dogs and mongooses, also appear to cooperate with each other in certain activities, such as raising pups.
Dogs show cooperation with humans if not as much with each other. This connection with humans seems to foreshadow canines' reactions when humans give preferential treatment.
"This shows a behavioral connection [among animals]," Beaver said. "Previous studies have shown that primates will do this kind of behavior, much more like people, and now we've taken it back a little bit further to a less human form to see this in dogs. Is this in cats? In birds? . . . Is this a relatedness or is it something that evolved separately in different species? This gives us more information."

Some of you already know that I am passionate about essential oils, and use them extensively every day, including on my animals. Most pure essential oils are very safe to use on your animals as long as you are sure that you are not using fragrance oils or oils adulterated with synthetic fillers. Used appropriately, essential oils can be extremely beneficial to you and your animals health and wellness. I successfully addressed several health concerns in my dogs and rats using essential oils with my vet's blessing.
Tomorrow I am heading to the lavender fields in Mona Utah for a 2 day conference on Essential Oils and Animals. Please let me know if you are interested in finding out how essential oils can replace the chemicals we are encouraged to use on and around our animals every day. If anyone that has visited my rattery knows, my rats are healthy and my rattery is clean - no chemicals to harm my rat's sensitive respiratory system here!!
Shipping deadlines...
The first wave of available babies can start leaving the rattery as of May 1st, and with the heat of summer fast approaching if you wish to have any babies shipped to you, they must be scheduled to fly before the end of May. Pick ups in person will still be available during the summer months. Shipping will resume some time during late September early October once the weather cools off. Better safe than sorry!
Still a few babies left for reservation and I have readdressed pricing on Silvermanes. These are some really sweet babies that carry both dwarf and hairless genes.
I will be posting a just a few babies from Carolina and Georgie's litter before I head to Utah this weekend. They are going to be beautifully DARK Siamese - Pet homes only on this litter!!!
Babies, babies, everywhere!
Monday brought SEVENTEEN new babies courtesy of Atlantis Rattery. Harleys and Martens and Downunders, Oh My!
The last of the current litters will be ready to go by May 17th and with the hot summer months fast approaching, they will be my last available for shipping until Fall. Rats will still be available for pickup.
My summer will be spent working on these new lines and building my pedigree database. In the meantime, I will have several young adult rats available for adoption. These are sweet guys and gals that were being held back but are being released for adoption. Pictures will be posted soon.
Hello and welcome
I'll keep this short and sweet, kinda like me really! Just a quick welcome to my new website, its a work in progress, and probably will be taking into consideration my OCD tendencies. I will be transitioning here from Facebook world, and sharing thoughts, views, pictures, videos etc., specifically for the rattery. Litters and available rats will be found here, they may get posted on Facebook if I have time, but I want to keep things neat (see above reference to OCD.)
I am also learning this whole process (website building, blogging, tagging, meta codes) so bear with me, if you have experience and feel like helping a sistah out, it would be much appreciated. Comments are open - ENJOY!!

Take a look to those two official posters of The Bounce Back, the upcoming romantic comedy movie directed by Youssef Delara and starring Shemar Moore, Nadine Velazquez, Bill Bellamy, Sheryl Underwood, and Kali Hawk (yep the girl from Fifty Shades of Black):
Sometimes you have to turn the page to fall in love.
"Father, author and relationship expert, Matthew Taylor (Shemar Moore) is on a whirlwind book tour promoting his new best seller, The Bounce Back. He's got it all figured out until he meets the acerbic Kristin Peralta (Nadine Velazquez), a talk show circuit therapist who's convinced he's nothing but a charlatan. Matthew's life is turned upside down when he inadvertently falls for Kristin and has to face painful truth of his past relationship."
Look at their flashy shiny teeth! Did they photoshop those pretty smiles?
The release date of The Bounce Back is set to February 27, 2016.

But the point of FP is that it makes explicit that you've got that list of changes
No it doesn't.. at least not inescapably so. The list can be a series of evaluation contexts from nested function calls. That list of contexts isn't a first-order programming construct like a variable or a function ref, so you can't step back through it to see your previous values. Nor is the index 't' a first-order construct, since it's represented implicitly by the level of nesting. So what was hidden in an lvalue can remain hidden in FP, it just hides in the call stack rather than in a register.
the dynamic scoping straw man (nobody forces it, and neither Haskell nor Scheme nor many others even support it!)
No, but they do support closures and/or currying. Both of those create a chain of evaluation contexts that's basically a non-first-order list of previous values with a non-first-order implicit index. They offer all the benefits and disadvantages of regular lvalues and/or dynamic scoping, just wrapped in a different kind of syntactic sugar. And both of them shoot the analytic simplicty of lexical/static scoping right through the head, because once again you have values that can only be determined in the appropriate runtime context, rather than from direct inspection of the code.
It's precisely that kind of "we don't have that problem" tunnel vision that set me to ranting in the first place. I want people to be aware of the operational realities of programming instead of comparing checklists of syntactic sugar features without taking the time to think about what those features actually do.
The reason #4 confuses you is that you're too wrapped up in the superficial features of the immediate example to think about the fundamental issues of programming they represent, and then think about how those issues can pop up in whatever syntactic system you happen to use. That kind of superficiality is unfortunately common in some parts of FP culture, and it has the capacity to really piss me off if you expose me to it long enough.

I can't wait for the deathstar to go though. It represents everything wrong with UA and it needs to go.
It's not going anywhere.
Oh, it better. The company is still divided and people associate the deathstar with beating people up, surly 70 year old FA's, and a terrible merger. It's got to go if United wants to get away from all of this.

Look Inside the Book
One of the most thorough and balanced works on what we have learned about charter schools. Both thoughtful and provocative.
— Henry M. Levin, William Heard Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education, and director, National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education, Teachers College, Columbia University
The Charter School Experiment is a balanced and scholarly assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of charter schools, which should inform the current policy debate.
— Diane Ravitch, research professor of education, New York University and nonresident senior fellow, Brookings Institution
Faith in charter schools is skyrocketing. But as Washington tells states to open more charters, does this politically sexy innovation actually work? When their performance flags, why? How might inventive schools actually challenge the status quo? Squarely addressing these questions, this book arrives at just the right time. A must-read for parents, educators, and reform leaders, not to mention White House staffers.
— Bruce Fuller, professor, education and public policy, University of California, Berkeley
Christopher A. Lubienski is associate professor of education policy and a fellow at the Forum on the Future of Public Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Peter C. Weitzel is an advanced doctoral student in educational organization and leadership at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

NBCU Names New President of Telemundo
Emilio Romano is a former airline exec
Former airline exec Emilio Romano will take over as president of NBCUniversal's Spanish language division, Telemundo, the company announced yesterday.
When Romano begins his new position in October, he'll be in charge of the Telemundo network, the 14 stations it owns, its sports and news divisions, its digital media group, its sales and marketing units, and Telemundo International. He'll be replacing former president Don Browne, who resigned in April.
In a statement, Lauren Zalaznick, NBCU's chairman of entertainment and digital networks and integrated media, said that Romano's "extensive knowledge of Hispanic media combined with a proven track record running large-scale businesses will be a great addition to the Telemundo management team. We will benefit greatly from his expertise across multiple media platforms—particularly in the Mexican market—as we continue to broaden Telemundo's overall appeal in the vibrant and diverse Hispanic community."
Romano, who was the chief executive of the Mexican airline carrier Grupo Mexicana de Aviación, also serves on the board of Tam Linhas Aereas, Brazil and Latin America's largest airline, and is president of International Air Transport Association's International Airline Training Fund Council. But he's no stranger to the media industry: He was also an executive at mass media conglomerate GrupoTelevisa and served on the board of Univision, Telemundo's biggest rival.

Silverstone Class Presentation
Following on from the success of our 'Parent Presentation' scheme last year, Silverstone Class have kicked off 2017 with a fabulous Class Presentation to Parents and Carers. Family members came into school to meet GANF staff and watch the performance put on by their child's class.
This was an opportunity for pupils to show their parents and carers exactly what they are learning during their school day and for parents to see what their children have been getting up to at school.
The pupils spoke about their core subjects such as English and how they have been writing newspaper articles. Victoria read her article about Formula 1, to the interested audience and Jessica spoke about the inauguration of Donald Trump.
For Maths, the pupils showed parents and carers some photos of 2D and 3D shapes and discussed their official names.
For the new subjects such as Computing and Outdoor Learning, Dean presented Computing and introduced how he had been learning to program and code on a piece of software called Scratch. Dean showed an example of one he'd created within the lesson.
For Outdoor Learning, the children talked about their residential trip to Beaumanor in September 2016 and shared photos with parents and carers. Carla spoke about Enrichment and how the pupils have been going to Forest School to learn about navigation.
Two students, Jessica and Victoria are in the ACF and spoke about their recent visit on a weekend camp. They presented on how they have learned First Aid and how to present themselves during a drill exercise.
It was a wonderful morning and parents were thrilled to get an insight into the school day.
One parent said, "I am so happy to see the amount of progress my child is making at school. It is wonderful to see the children's positive attitudes and conversations between themselves".
Look out for your child's class presentation coming soon!
