Skip to comments.Darwin reader: Darwins racism
Posted on 02/24/2009 7:04:56 PM PST by GodGunsGuts
In the face of systematic attempts to efface from public view, Darwins racism, a friend writes to offer quotes from Darwins Descent of Man:
Savages are intermediate states between people and apes:
It has been asserted that the ear of man alone possesses a lobule; but a rudiment of it is found in the gorilla and, as I hear from Prof. Preyer, it is not rarely absent in the negro.
The sense of smell is of the highest importance to the greater number of mammalsto some, as the ruminants, in warning them of danger; to others, as the Carnivora, in finding their prey; to others, again, as the wild boar, for both purposes combined. But the sense of smell is of extremely slight service, if any, even to the dark coloured races of men, in whom it is much more highly developed than in the white and civilised races.
The account given by Humboldt of the power of smell possessed by the natives of South America is well known, and has been confirmed by others. M. Houzeau asserts that he repeatedly made experiments, and proved that Negroes and Indians could recognise persons in the dark by their odour. Dr. W. Ogle has made some curious observations on the connection between the power of smell and the colouring matter of the mucous membrane of the olfactory region as well as of the skin of the body. I have, therefore, spoken in the text of the dark-coloured races having a finer sense of smell than the white races .Those who believe in the principle of gradual evolution, will not readily admit that the sense of smell in its present state was originally acquired by man, as he now exists. He inherits the power in an enfeebled and so far rudimentary condition, from some early progenitor, to whom it was highly serviceable, and by whom it was continually used.
[From Denyse: Decades ago, I distinguished myself by an ability to smell sugar in coffee. It wasn't very difficult, with a bit of practice, and it helped to sort out the office coffee orders handily. My best guess is that most people could learn the art if they wanted to. Most human beings don't even try to develop their sense of smell - we are mostly occupied with avoiding distressing smells or eliminating or else covering them up. I don't of course, say that we humans would ever have the sense of smell of a wolf, but only that Darwin's idea here is basically wrong and best explained by racism. ]
It appears as if the posterior molar or wisdom-teeth were tending to become rudimentary in the more civilised races of man. These teeth are rather smaller than the other molars, as is likewise the case with the corresponding teeth in the chimpanzee and orang; and they have only two separate fangs. In the Melanian races, on the other hand, the wisdom-teeth are usually furnished with three separate fangs, and are generally sound; they also differ from the other molars in size, less than in the Caucasian races.
It is an interesting fact that ancient races, in this and several other cases, more frequently present structures which resemble those of the lower animals than do the modern. One chief cause seems to be that the ancient races stand somewhat nearer in the long line of descent to their remote animal-like progenitors.
[From Denyse: The nice thing about teeth is that, if they give trouble, they can simply be pulled. I would be reluctant to found a big theory on the size or convenience of teeth, given that this fact must have occurred to our ancestors many thousands of years ago.]
It has often been said, as Mr. Macnamara remarks, that man can resist with impunity the greatest diversities of climate and other changes; but this is true only of the civilised races. Man in his wild condition seems to be in this respect almost as susceptible as his nearest allies, the anthropoid apes, which have never yet survived long, when removed from their native country. [From Denyse: Native North Americans often perished from human diseases to which they had not become immune in childhood. That is probably unrelated to the inability of anthropoid apes to stand cold climates.]
This includes the degraded morals of lower races:
The above view of the origin and nature of the moral sense, which tells us what we ought to do, and of the conscience which reproves us if we disobey it, accords well with what we see of the early and undeveloped condition of this faculty in mankind . A North-American Indian is well pleased with himself, and is honoured by others, when he scalps a man of another tribe; and a Dyak cuts off the head of an unoffending person, and dries it as a trophy. With respect to savages, Mr. Winwood Reade informs me that the negroes of West Africa often commit suicide. It is well known how common it was amongst the miserable aborigines of South America after the Spanish conquest. It has been recorded that an Indian Thug conscientiously regretted that he had not robbed and strangled as many travellers as did his father before him. In a rude state of civilisation the robbery of strangers is, indeed, generally considered as honourable.
As barbarians do not regard the opinion of their women, wives are commonly treated like slaves. Most savages are utterly indifferent to the sufferings of strangers, or even delight in witnessing them. It is well known that the women and children of the North-American Indians aided in torturing their enemies. Some savages take a horrid pleasure in cruelty to animals, and humanity is an unknown virtue .. Many instances could be given of the noble fidelity of savages towards each other, but not to strangers; common experience justifies the maxim of the Spaniard, Never, never trust an Indian.
[From Denyse: If early modern Europeans in Canada had not trusted "Indians," they would all have died off pretty quickly.]
The other so-called self-regarding virtues, which do not obviously, though they may really, affect the welfare of the tribe, have never been esteemed by savages, though now highly appreciated by civilised nations. The greatest intemperance is no reproach with savages.
I have entered into the above details on the immorality of savages, because some authors have recently taken a high view of their moral nature, or have attributed most of their crimes to mistaken benevolence. These authors appear to rest their conclusion on savages possessing those virtues which are serviceable, or even necessary, for the existence of the family and of the tribe,qualities which they undoubtedly do possess, and often in a high degree.
[From Denyse: Charles Darwin, let me introduce you to Hollywood, before you say any more silly things about the supposed immorality of "savages." ]
Making slavery understandable, though of course distasteful now:
Slavery, although in some ways beneficial during ancient times, is a great crime; yet it was not so regarded until quite recently, even by the most civilised nations. And this was especially the case, because the slaves belonged in general to a race different from that of their masters.
[From Denyse: Not really. In ancient times, slaves were typically unransomed captives in war, convicted criminals, or people who had fallen into irrecoverable debt. In Roman times, there would be nothing unusual about being a slave to someone of the same race as oneself. Slavery based on race alone was an early modern legal invention, aimed against blacks.]
Mass killings of savages is understandable as a type of species extinction:
At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.
The partial or complete extinction of many races and sub-races of man is historically known .When civilised nations come into contact with barbarians the struggle is short, except where a deadly climate gives its aid to the native race . The grade of their civilisation seems to be a most important element in the success of competing nations. A few centuries ago Europe feared the inroads of Eastern barbarians; now any such fear would be ridiculous.
[Flinders Island], situated between Tasmania and Australia, is forty miles long, and from twelve to eighteen miles broad: it seems healthy, and the natives were well treated. Nevertheless, they suffered greatly in health .With respect to the cause of this extraordinary state of things, Dr. Story remarks that death followed the attempts to civilise the natives. [--Obviously the problem was trying to civilize these barbarians!]
Finally, although the gradual decrease and ultimate extinction of the races of man is a highly complex problem, depending on many causes which differ in different places and at different times; it is the same problem as that presented by the extinction of one of the higher animals.
Of course the degradation extends to the intellectual:
There is, however, no doubt that the various races, when carefully compared and measured, differ much from each other,as in the texture of the hair, the relative proportions of all parts of the body Their mental characteristics are likewise very distinct; chiefly as it would appear in their emotional, but partly in their intellectual faculties. Every one who has had the opportunity of comparison, must have been struck with the contrast between the taciturn, even morose, aborigines of S. America and the light-hearted, talkative negroes. There is a nearly similar contrast between the Malays and the Papuans who live under the same physical conditions, and are separated from each other only by a narrow space of sea.
[From Denyse: I would imagine that the aborigines of South America felt some resentment over the loss of their continent to invaders from Europe ... ]
A certain amount of absorption of mulattoes into negroes must always be in progress; and this would lead to an apparent diminution of the former. The inferior vitality of mulattoes is spoken of in a trustworthy work as a well-known phenomenon; and this, although a different consideration from their lessened fertility, may perhaps be advanced as a proof of the specific distinctness of the parent races.
So far as we are enabled to judge, although always liable to err on this head, none of the differences between the races of man are of any direct or special service to him. The intellectual and moral or social faculties must of course be excepted from this remark.
And drum roll.., the main conclusion:
The main conclusion arrived at in this work, namely, that man is descended from some lowly organised form, will, I regret to think, be highly distasteful to many. But there can hardly be a doubt that we are descended from barbarians. The astonishment which I felt on first seeing a party of Fuegians on a wild and broken shore will never be forgotten by me, for the reflection at once rushed into my mind-such were our ancestors. These men were absolutely naked and bedaubed with paint, their long hair was tangled, their mouths frothed with excitement, and their expression was wild, startled, and distrustful. He who has seen a savage in his native land will not feel much shame, if forced to acknowledge that the blood of some more humble creature flows in his veins.
[From Denyse: Sounds like a local rave to me. Not my ancestors (who were, as it happens, rigidly correct people, but my 2009 fellow Torontonians.)]
For my own part I would as soon be descended from [a] monkey, or from that old baboon as from a savage who delights to torture his enemies, offers up bloody sacrifices, practices infanticide without remorse, treats his wives like slaves, knows no decency, and is haunted by the grossest superstitions.
[From Denyse: Yuh, I know. I know women who have divorced guys like that too ... but, when founding a theory in science, it strikes me that ... ]
And lets not forget sexism!
The chief distinction in the intellectual powers of the two sexes is shewn by mans attaining to a higher eminence, in whatever he takes up, than can womanwhether requiring deep thought, reason, or imagination, or merely the use of the senses and hands We may also infer, from the law of the deviation from averages, so well illustrated by Mr. Galton, in his work on Hereditary Genius, that if men are capable of a decided pre-eminence over women in many subjects, the average of mental power in man must be above that of woman.
The greater intellectual vigour and power of invention in man is probably due to natural selection, combined with the inherited effects of habit, for the most able men will have succeeded best in defending and providing for themselves and for their wives and offspring.
[From Denyse: Re women vs. men: Actually, if we leave Darwin's obsession with natural selection out of the matter for a moment, we can come up with a simple explanation for the difference between men's and women's achievements. Men are far more likely to win Nobel Prizes than women - but also far more likely to sit on Death Row.
For most normal achievements, women will do as well as men, given a chance. Women do just as well as men at being, say, a family doctor, an accountant, a real estate agent, a high school teacher, etc.
It's only in outstanding achievements - either for good OR for ill - that men tend to dominate. One way of seeing this is that the curve of women's achievements fits inside the curve of men's achievements, either way.
Natural selection does not explain this because most men who have outstanding achievements do not contribute a great deal to the gene pool as a consequence.
Either they produce few or no children, or their children do nothing outstanding. So Darwin did not really have a good explanation for this fact.
What should we do? Breeding of people and letting the weak die off:
"The advancement of the welfare of mankind is a most intricate problem: all ought to refrain from marriage who cannot avoid abject poverty for their children; for poverty is not only a great evil, but tends to its own increase by leading to recklessness in marriage. On the other hand, as Mr. Galton has remarked, if the prudent avoid marriage, whilst the reckless marry, the inferior members tend to supplant the better members of society. Man, like every other animal, has no doubt advanced to his present high condition through a struggle for existence consequent on his rapid multiplication; and if he is to advance still higher, it is to be feared that he must remain subject to a severe struggle. Otherwise he would sink into indolence, and the more gifted men would not be more successful in the battle of life than the less gifted. Hence our natural rate of increase, though leading to many and obvious evils, must not be greatly diminished by any means. There should be open competition for all men; and the most able should not be prevented by laws or customs from succeeding best and rearing the largest number of offspring."
"We civilized men, on the other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination; we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed, and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind. No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.
[From Denyse: But how would anyone know who the "worst animals" are among people?]
Hitler was a fan of Darwin....
Haven't gone near them since I heard the news.
And contrary to what the Evos would like us to believe, Hitler hated Christianity.
"And contrary to what the Evos would like us to believe, Hitler hated Christianity."
Ok....finish your point.....
The dude was a genius, way ahead of his times.
"The dude was a genius, way ahead of his times."
You are, if you follow the logic of this thread, therefore a hitler-loving racist atheist if you believe in science.
Not really. Although it does depend on how you classify "race".
The Spartans certainly classed the Helots as a separate race although we would not.
The Gibeonites were considered a separate race from the Jews and while they were not exactly slaves they were "hewers of wood and drawers of water" i.e. forced service.
In the next to last paragraph of the selection he says "..... who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to small-pox" ~ yet, today, we modern, civilized people know that being killed by smallpox has more to do with the virulence of the virus than from a "weak constitution".
Holding the victims of small-pox responsible for their own deaths is rather barbaric. Discussing characteristics of the different "brands" of human being was not then considered terribly "racist", if "racist" at all. We just discuss such things different these days ~ e.g. not in the presence of the subjects being discussed, and certainly not in public if the topic has been declared taboo by PC arbiters ~ even if failure to discuss results in the deaths of millions.
Chuck Darwin: a legitimate candidate for All-Time Loser.
Chuck, unlike most of the clergymen of his time and ours, at least had a fully functioning brain.
That's not "forced service" ~ it's "caste difference". Once you have an hereditary right to "draw water" no one drinks unless you allow them to have water.
I prefer real logic.
Saul tried to wipe them out during his reign which also argues against your premise.
The original Archie Bunker.
I get mad every time I read about this because the kids are always taught Darwin on Pot instead of Darwin on Speed. If they're going to teach them this crap they really ought to teach where Chuckie was coming from.
Thanks for posting... the truth is out there. Way out there...
The Nazis were more in favor of Lamarck. I don't really know why, perhaps they did not like the idea that "lower races" could become superior in a different environment.
Darwin's ideas can't promote racism without being seriously twisted. For example, Darwin did many studies on Galapagos Finches. More data was gathered since 1973 by Peter and Rosemary Grant. They examined two different species and found that the survival of birds with different body and beak sizes depended on how the environment affected the availability of different sized seeds. During the harsh drought of 1977 the small seeds were quickly exhausted since they could be consumed by both the small and large beaks. As a result, there was strong selection for birds with larger, more powerful beaks that could crack the large seeds. During unusually rainy weather in 1984-85, the selection went in the opposite direction. There was an overabundance of small, soft seeds so the birds with small beaks were better adapted. As a result, there was strong selection for small beaks during those years.
The point of this is that racism is totally meaningless when it comes to the science of evolution. Neither bird was "superior" to the other. Each had its own niche.
The article posted above says more about the character of those men then about the theory itself.
Hitler's middle name was "Elizabeth"
It's kind of like the members of the French nobility who vied to have the honor of taking King Louis' night soil out of his chambers. It meant that every day they would have ACCESS to the King himself right in the morning when he was fresh and before others could tell him gossip about themselves!
Sure, both of us would have been in there begging to be allowed to draw water for the Temple, particularly the Chief Priest!

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 14 (UPI) -- The 2014 FIFA World Cup will kickoff in a little less than a month when host nation Brazil faces off against Croatia on June 12. Thirty-two teams will play in the 32-day tournament and this video should get you a little more informed about the tournament with a fact about each team.
Based on the first one, it would seem that Brazil -- World Cup winner in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002 -- should probably be the favorite.
Here's a sampling of some World Cup facts:
Brazil -- Has never lost a home game since 1975.
The tournament's current 32-team format was used for the first time in France in 1998.
Netherlands -- The only team to reach the World Cup finals three times without a win.
Tore Keller of Sweden, then 33, was the oldest player to score FIFA World Cup hat-trick.
Cameroon -- Most World Cup appearances of any African nation.
The biggest scoring line in the history of World Cup qualifiers occurred when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 in April 2001.
Spain -- Has the record with 29 consecutive undefeated competitive games.
Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal is named after U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

The primary field of study in my group at UT Arlington is chemical synthesis and catalysis. We target to develop direct, more efficient, streamlined synthetic methods to synthesize transformative molecules with significant functions. In order to achieve the goal, our strategy is to rationally design transition-metal/ligand catalyst complexes, to understand the function of the catalysts, and to utilize them for developing catalytic reaction methods. Specific areas of interest include transition metal-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization and dehydrogenative functionalization of unsaturated C–C bonds, catalytic C–H and C–C bond functionalization, and direct cross-coupling reactions.
We are also engaged in synthesis of chemically and biologically significant molecules including natural and unnatural molecules. The target-oriented synthetic study not only provides planned synthetic target molecules, but also often reveals new, unprecedented interesting reactivity and selectivity. We hope to apply the lessons from discovery of new reaction methods and synthesis of bioactive molecules into therapeutic areas.
Finally, we are currently engaged in to provide a new approach to design, fabricate, and characterize new nano-materials for energy-related fields.

The Worcester Regional Transit Authority's new hub on Foster Street and associated changes should make the bus service "more efficient, more effective," WRTA Administrator Stephen F. O'Neil said.
The Worcester Regional Transit Authority will have two public hearings this week to discuss how its bus routes will change when its new hub opens April 20.
The first hearing will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday in the Levi Lincoln room in City Hall. The second will be at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the Saxe Room of the Worcester Public Library.
Starting April 20, all 25 fixed routes will start and end at the WRTA's new hub on Foster Street, which is adjacent to Union Station's commuter rail and intercity bus terminal. "Anything that's on wheels, that's where it will be," Mr. O'Neil said.
Many WRTA routes will still stop at City Hall, which has been the system's de facto hub, but some will not, namely Routes 5, 8, 18, 23, 24, 26 and 31, according to maps the WRTA provided last week. Even routes that continue to stop at City Hall may see their location in that area change.
Bus departures from the new hub should be within three minutes of their current departures from City Hall, according to the WRTA. An average of 35 buses will go through the hub each hour, according to William J. Lehtola of Spencer, chairman of the WRTA Advisory Board.
As part of the reconfiguration, the WRTA is eliminating the stop across Main Street from City Hall, which might cut down on the number of pedestrians who jaywalk across four lanes of traffic to try to catch a bus.
The new hub should also reduce the number of people dashing around Worcester City Hall and the Common to catch or transfer to a bus at one of four stops. Although City Hall will still have four stops (one will be at the back near the Burnside Fountain, aka Turtle Boy statue), riders might find it easier to transfer at the new hub.
At the hub, eight buses at a time will fit around a single island. Once passengers are on that island, all they have to do is walk across it to make their connection. They'll also be under a roof, and electronic signs — both visual and audio — will tell them when their bus is coming. There will be ticket vending machines inside and outside. The building will house restrooms, a coffee shop, customer service (now in the Mechanics Hall building) and the WRTA's administrative offices (now at 287 Grove St.).
Buses will approach the hub from all directions, but those coming from the Washington Square rotary in front of Union Station will have to go past the hub, turn left on Front Street, left on Franklin Street and left again on Foster to get into the driveway, meaning passengers coming from that direction will have to watch the hub go by once before they loop back to get off.
The hub will be open from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturdays and from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sundays, Mr. O'Neil said.
Some changes are also coming to routes away from the hub. Because of changes elsewhere, bus service along Main and Lincoln streets should be more frequent and evenly spaced, for a bus approximately every 10 minutes. Currently, passengers can wait anywhere from five to 35 minutes between buses on those lines, said James Parker, assistant general manager of Central Mass Transit Management. Riders may get help finding out when their bus will arrive by going to www.therta.com, clicking on "services" and "new technologies" and signing up for text alerts. People can also call (508) 296-TRAK (8725) or use a QR code at a bus stop.
Meanwhile, Route 19 will end at Goddard Drive and Coppage Drive near the airport on weekdays, because no one was getting off after that point, Mr. Parker said. Route 19 will stop going to the Leicester Walmart on weekdays, but Route 33 will go there.
Downtown, some buses will move from Main Street to Major Taylor Boulevard, a change needed to serve MCPHS students, St. Vincent Hospital's new cancer center and the DCU Center, said Mary Ellen Blunt, transportation program manager with the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission.
While the hub is almost finished, another WRTA project remains several years off. The maintenance facility for the transit authority's 47-bus fleet is housed on Grove Street but is expected to move to NSTAR property at 40 Quinsigamond Ave.
The transit authority is doing tests there to see what might be underground, and any move is still a few years away, Mr. O'Neil said.

'Approved' Fansub Anime To Compete With Licensed Version
from the sub-competiiton dept
An anonymous reader points out that 07th Expansion recently sold the rights of a new game to the company MangaGamer, which includes the right to translate the game. But the fansubbers were already working on their own version. So, would there be a clash? Apparently not. Both versions are moving forward legally with the approval of 07th Expansion. MangaGamer even did a good thing, offering to hire the fansubbers to do the translating for the official version, but they were unable to do so for work reasons. This did follow one bad move -- where MangaGamer asked the fansubbers to take down their version -- but after MangaGamer went back and learned of 07th Expansion's embracing of fansubbers, it changed its mind, and told the fansubbers they could continue with their effort.
Of course, even with the "competition" from fans, MangaGamer should have a huge advantage. The fansubbers admit that they're slow and doing it as a hobby -- so they fully expect MangaGamer to beat them to market by a long shot. But it's nice to see MangaGamer realize that this isn't the end of the world and to just compete in the marketplace, even without an exclusive monopoly on a translation patch to the game.

U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index toward a five-year high, as China's exports beat estimates and European Central Bank President Mario Draghi sees an economic rebound later in 2013.
Ford Motor Co. climbed 3.3 percent after boosting its dividend. Apple Inc. gained 0.8 percent as Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook met with the chairman of China Mobile Ltd. Supervalu Inc. rose 14 percent after a Cerberus Capital Management LP-led investor group agreed to buy five of its chains in a transaction valued at about $3.3 billion. Tiffany & Co. fell 4.7 percent after the second-largest luxury jewelry retailer said earnings will be at the low end of its forecast.
The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent to 1,466.70 at 10:17 a.m. New York time, surpassing the highest closing level since December 2007. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 42.62 points, or 0.3 percent, to 13,433.13. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 13 percent above the 30-day average at this time of day.
"China is definitely healing," said Michael Mullaney, who helps manage $9.5 billion as chief investment officer at Fiduciary Trust in Boston. "Stocks started to do better after Draghi's comments. People feel that the recovery will take hold. As long as we don't see Greek-Portugal-Spain debacle in 2013, those markets should continue to do better."
Stocks followed global equities higher as China's overseas sales rose 14.1 percent in December from a year earlier, almost triple the 5 percent gain predicted. Draghi said "a gradual recovery should start" in the euro area later this year as ECB measures work their way through the economy. More Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week.
Corporate Earnings
Investors also watched corporate results. Fourth-quarter profits at S&P 500 companies probably increased 2.9 percent, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the second-slowest quarterly growth since 2009, the data show.
All 10 groups in the S&P 500 rose today as telephone and financial shares had the biggest gains. Energy and raw-material stocks advanced as the S&P GSCI gauge of 24 commodities climbed 0.8 percent.
Ford jumped 3.3 percent to $13.91. The second-largest U.S. automaker doubled its quarterly dividend to 10 cents per share after record profit margins boosted its cash. Ford, which resumed paying a dividend last year after a five-year hiatus, cited its strengthening business as the reason it is boosting the payout.

The U.S. dollar has been the currency haven of choice when the world goes through a convulsion of fear with risk-associated currencies such as GBP taking a hit. But the dynamics of the forex market could be about to shift or at least go through a period of confusion.
Risk-on, risk-off waves of sentiment have become a familiar scene across currency and asset markets. As a crisis threatens to move toward an ugly climax central banks rush for the fire hydrants to quell the flames and trigger a relief rally in risk currencies and assets in the process.
The IMF has documented the process in a working paper called "The Behaviour of Currencies during Risk-off Episodes." Specifically looking at high yield emerging market currencies it remarked that since the global financial crisis, those currencies have depreciated more sharply during risk-off episodes.
The IMF noted that this is in contrast to the pre-global crisis world of 2007 where they tended to depreciate vs. the USD during risk-off episodes. Post-2007, buying volatile currencies as the market shifts to a risk-off phase has proved to be a profitable trade. But there are a number of factors afoot, which might challenge this now rather familiar dynamic, even if it's only temporary.

I've had my sample and really trying to figure out if it's bottle worthy or not. I really enjoy it, it's very sweet. I think it's a black tea note that is so strong, it takes over.
I'm still trying to figure it out, I take a while to make decisions on some scents though.

Pro-oxidants are like the anti-matter of anti-oxidants. Pro-oxidants are the formation of free radicals that suppress anti-oxidants and lead to acne marks.
How Pro-Oxidants Work
According to BotanicalCuisine.com, "Pro-oxidants have an electron-imbalance – they possess an unpaired electron, which is chemically very unstable. As a result, pro-oxidants aggressively seek out an electron from another molecule around them (an unwitting "donor"). If not quenched immediately upon production, they will proceed to "steal" an electron from bodily cells, which harms these cells and literally makes the body "rot or rust."
This means, if your body has an excess of pro-oxidants it can create an unstable cellular environment and will eventually begin to break down in the presence of oxidative stress.
Why It Matters
Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the best acne fighters on the market. But did you know it is also a pro-oxidant? Benzoyl Peroxide reduces epidermal vitamin E levels by 95% and vitamin C levels by 70%! Using an anti-oxidant prior to applying Benzoyl Peroxide to the skin can help minimize the negatives effects of the pro-oxidant. However, using an anti-oxidant and a pro-oxidant at the same time can have damaging effects, so make sure to apply one in the morning and one at night as per your skincare routine.
Also, pro-oxidants are known to accelerate aging. Long term use is not recommended if you want to keep your skin wrinkle-free.
They Are Not All Bad
– Pro-oxidants produce reactive oxygen, which, although highly toxic, is necessary to our body. Without this oxidation small cases of the flu would kill us.
– Pro-oxidants generate inflammatory responses in our bodies that are essential in protecting our overall health.
– Pro-oxidants may damage our healthy cells, but they also damage cancer cells.
How To Protect Yourself
With all of the harmful chemicals, free radicals, and environmentally damaging substances we are exposed to on a daily basis, we can't expect our body to fight them all alone. Our bodies need remarkable external assistance to stay healthy, such as anti-oxidants and raw foods. Some other helpful tips are:
– Many fruits (especially exotic ones) and veggies are ascribed with the ability of providing necessary anti-oxidants to shield us from oxidative stress
– Anti-oxidants combat the effects of pro-oxidants. However, not all vitamins are the same. In order to maintain optimum health you need a variety of Vitamin A, B, C, D, and E
– Oral vitamins A and E calm lipid peroxidation in acne (causing scarring)
– Studies have shown that green tea and EGCG can inhibit tumorigenesis during the initiation, promotion, and progression stages
– Anti-oxidants like Selenium, EGCG, and IV vitamin C have a negative effect when used in excess and begin to act like pro-oxidants instead
Vitamin C (Deserves it's own subsection)
As mentioned, vitamin C, when used in excess, has a pro-oxidant alter ego. However, this variation can benefit arteries by increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species.
Vitamin C is great for your skin. However, when applied topically it can undergo oxidation and may result in the formation of free radicals. Vitamin C Ester and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate are more resistant to oxidation and can easily penetrate the skin.
When Vitamin C and Ergothioneine (EGT) are combined they are a surefire way to ensure the most active anti-oxidants combat and reverse signs of aging.
Like all anti-oxidant supplementation, it is difficult to quantify the effect of long-term supplementation. Oral supplements may be used to boost effectiveness.
#1 Way To Win
Anti-oxidants treat acne, but they cannot do it alone. If you want to avoid the unstable option of pro-oxidants, be sure to consume and apply a variety of anti-oxidants and give yourself time to see effects. Also, when treating your acne, sticking to a regimen of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and oil-free cleansers and lotions (ZENMED DermaCleanse Acne Gel and Oil-Free Day Lotion) will help you reach your goal of long-term, pimple-free skin that will be flawless for many years to come.

LeBron James had 29 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, Dwyane Wade scored 21 and the Heat survived a frantic finish to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-97 on Tuesday.
MIAMI — LeBron James and Kevin Durant exchanged words. Dwyane Wade and Serge Ibaka did a little shoving. Five technical fouls were called, and Russell Westbrook punched a table in frustration.
This NBA Finals rematch met expectations.
And like that series, it ended with Miami on top.
James had 29 points, nine assists and eight rebounds, Wade scored 21, and the Heat survived a frantic finish to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 103-97 on Tuesday.
"Felt a little bit like a different month," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Regardless of what your script is coming into the game, when you play this team, it's not going to go according to script. They're too good."
But on this night, much like last June, the Heat were better.
Mario Chalmers scored a season-high 20 for the Heat, who were 19 for 19 from the foul line, the second-best effort in franchise history behind only a 30-for-30 game in Boston on March 24, 1993. Chris Bosh added 16 for Miami, which has beaten the Thunder five straight times going back to last June's title series.
Durant scored 33 points and Westbrook added 21 for Oklahoma City, but both Thunder stars missed potential game-tying 3-point attempts in the final seconds.
"It was a great game. I can't complain," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "We could have done a better job of not turning the ball over in the first half. All in all, it was a great game to play and a great game to coach. Unfortunately, we didn't come out with the win."
It's the first losing streak of the season for the Thunder, who had been 4-0 after losses. Ibaka and Kevin Martin each scored 15 for Oklahoma City.
The game had a little of everything — a fast start by the reigning champions, a one-handed dunk by James on an offensive rebound that will be added to his copious highlight reel, a scrum after a hard foul that led to double-technicals on Wade and Ibaka early in the fourth, an easy rally by the Thunder from an early double-digit deficit, and even workout partners in Durant and James barking back and forth in the final minutes.
Such was the intensity that James slumped over the scorer's table with 1:08 left, exhausted.
"I'm tired as hell right now," James said — and that was more than an hour after the game ended.
With good reason. On an emotional day, there was a wild finish.
Wade lost the ball on an ill-advised, behind-the-back dribble, and the turnover set up Durant for a two-handed dunk that got the Thunder within 96-95 with 44.1 seconds remaining.
Needing a stop on the next trip, the Thunder forgot to play defense instead. Kendrick Perkins and Ibaka both were confused on the ensuing Miami possession, and Bosh was left alone to take a pass from James and throw down a dunk that restored Miami's three-point edge.
"We went over and helped," Durant said. "We just needed to help on the backside. There was miscommunication but we still had a chance to go into overtime."
Two chances, actually.
Oklahoma City got within one when Durant made a jumper over James, but no closer. Ray Allen's two free throws with 15.6 seconds left made it 100-97, and Miami's last three points came from the line. Durant missed a 3-pointer that James contested, Westbrook wound up with a second chance that Wade defended, and the Thunder guard smacked a nearby table arguing that he was fouled.
"Part of the game," Westbrook said.
While the stars were stars, the Heat got help from one unexpected source. Chalmers was making everything, even unintended plays.
Allen lost possession on what looked to be a pass to no one, but Chalmers picked up the bouncing ball on the right wing, whirled and made a 3-pointer — putting Miami up 86-79 with 8:14 left.
In the end, that cushion was necessary.
"I got going early," Chalmers said, "and I stuck with it."
The Heat came out flying, opening a quick 13-2 lead after making six of their first seven shots. About all that didn't go right for the Heat early on was James committing a foul, the first time he was called for a personal since Dec. 8.
It happened 4:03 into the game — 254 minutes and 7 seconds of on-court time since his last one — when James fouled Ibaka on a dunk attempt.
Chalmers had 12 points, matching his season high, in the opening quarter alone, and that was also Miami's lead after his layup for a 15-3 edge. When Durant headed to the bench after being called for his second personal, plus a technical, with 2:08 left in the first, the Heat led 27-16.
But even with Durant out, Oklahoma City scored the last eight points of the quarter, six of those coming from the line. The Thunder shot 17 of the game's first 18 free throws and finished the game with a 38-19 edge in tries from the stripe.
The Heat were held to two points in the first 5:05 of the third, and the Thunder grabbed the lead for the first time. Durant connected on a baseline jumper while falling out of bounds and getting fouled by James. The resulting free throw gave Oklahoma City a 58-56 edge.
With that, the back-and-forth began, and Miami found a way.
"Both teams really played up to the billing," Wade said. "An excellent basketball game."

DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (AP) — The mother of a newborn was hospitalized Monday and facing possible manslaughter charges after authorities say she drunkenly drove the wrong way on a Southern California freeway, slamming into another car and killing six people, including her own sister.
Olivia Culbreath, 21, of Fontana, was listed in stable condition, said Rosa Saca, spokeswoman at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
Culbreath received a broken femur and a ruptured bladder in the early Sunday morning crash on State Route 60 in Diamond Bar, a bedroom community 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
She was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and manslaughter after being pulled from the mangled Camaro, California Highway Patrol Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said.
An alcoholic beverage was found at the scene, authorities said.
Witnesses said the Camaro may have been traveling at up to 100 mph eastbound in westbound lanes when it collided head-on with a Ford Explorer, hurling wreckage and bodies onto the freeway.
A Ford Freestyle then hit the Explorer. The driver, Joel Cortez, 57, of La Puente, was treated for minor injuries.
Two people in the Explorer — Gregorio Mejia-Martinez, 47, and Ester Delgado — died at the scene, county coroner's Lt. Fred Corral said. Two other family members in the SUV — Leticia Ibarra, 42, and Jessica Jasmine Mejia, 20 — were declared dead at a hospital. All four were from Huntington Park. Delgado's age was not available.
Culbreath's sister, Maya Louise Culbreath, 24, of Rialto, and another Camaro passenger, Kristin Melissa Young, 24, of Chino, died at the scene, Corral said.
The family was still trying to cope with the tragedy Monday, said Carole Phillips, Culbreath's grandmother.
"They won't let us see her," Phillips said by telephone. "We're just devastated because of the loss of the others, too. It's just too much."
Wendell Johnson of Rancho Cucamonga, a friend, told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune (http://bit.ly/1egcAhY ) that the group in the Camaro had been on a "girls' night out" in Fullerton.
Neighbors in Fontana told the paper that Culbreath had given birth to a son in late January.
Culbreath had a 2010 conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol stemming from a 2009 incident when she was 17. Her license was pulled, but it was reinstated in 2011, according to Department of Motor Vehicle records.
However, Octavio Castellanos, a neighbor of Culbreath, told the Tribune said he rarely saw her drinking before she became pregnant and added that she didn't drink at all during the pregnancy.
"You wouldn't think she would do something like that," said his brother, Andretti Castellanos. "She was the type of girl that never got into trouble."

Investors are reassured — and companies consider it a point of pride — when executives note an uninterrupted track record for raising dividends. Dividend payments also offer investors a cushion on their investment, increasing the overall returns of the stock. Historically, dividend payments have accounted for more than 40 percentof the S&P 500's total returns.
In the S&P 500, about 6 percent of companies have raised their dividends for at least 15 consecutive years or more, based on data gathered by CNBC Analytics and Capital IQ. One key indicator for dividends is a comparison of dividend payout per share and free cash flow per share, since dividends are paid from a company's earnings. The lower the dividend payout-free cash flow ratio, the better, since the company is spending less of its available cash on dividends. This metric is a good indication of whether a dividend strategy has more room to grow.
Listed here are the 15 companies with the smallest free cash flow to dividend payout ratio (or FCF payout ratio). By this metric, companies would have the most stable dividends and are most likely to sustain their payments. Click ahead to see top companies with 15 years or more of consecutive dividend increases.

I watched 15&16 just now and I'm pissed. Aomine already made me lose control cause I hate this type and Momoi was just too much. The combo pisses me off. I suppose cause they are both "oh-I-know-it-all". I hate this attitude. Aomine is probably hurt and sad and definietely cute and fluffy inside... ARGH. Hate the guy, also I hate people who pretend to be someone they are not. Or rather, they act stupid but they "oh-know-it-all". Momoi's so called love for Kuroko is an act for me too. I can see why she can admire him but her acting is pure cruelty for me cause she obviously care more about aomine. I agree on one point leaving him alone would be rather dangerous. Okay, I'm angry now. I generally liked the flashbacks and I'd like to know what happened between aomine and Kuroko either. It seems like something rather serious since Kuroko isn't really the type to just go and sulk. I was facepalming almost whole 16 episode since there was this whole talk about Momoi being an incredible data-gatherer. Well, I'd say Coach did pretty good job herself, so WHY they didn't actually do it before the game?! Momoi HAD the time to collect whatever was to collect but Coach hadn't? It seems really strange for me. I know they do not have much time but for heaven's sake she should have done just a little, anything. She hadn't and she only "believes" and her conversation about growing with Momoi was just plain annoying. Sigh. I also noticed how irritaiting it is to hear the chitchat between players during the game. I think Kuroko's approach is the most professional, you don't boast about how highty and mighty you are, you just don't waste even one breath and do whatever you can. What do they think, lecturing the other team during the game which they are now obviously losing? They underestimated Touou. I wonder how it'll look like later on but I'm already disappointed and I can fairly guess what it would look like. The whole talk about who's better. Kagami's miracles. Kuroko's definietely moving past. Siiiiigh. And here I was so happy and excited about first 14 episodes. I hope they won't mess it up really badly.

I think Momoi's data analysis is at a higher level than coach's. Coach herself did mention that she wasn't good enough to bring out the best in the players. She has sufficient knowledge in the area of physiology but her tactical and strategic abilities are probably not as good as Momoi's.

Episode 18:
Ouch, Aoimine dominated the match for the first half of this episode, he's doesn't even need his team to win, he can just do it on his own. However, when I saw Kuroko ready himself before going onto the court, I could only think that things could get better. His trademark super epic awesome pass across the court returned and it made me smile
And as I expected, slowly but surely, with Kuroko, their teamwork started getting their points back up Buuut, as I also expected, Aoimine quickly made up for those lost points But ouch, those were some harsh words he gave to Kuroko.
That ending montage of the rest of the game was good, but the ending bit with Kuroko reaching out was hard to watch as he looked distraught over losing. I'm hoping that the next few episodes atmosphere cheer up =/

I'm still amazed Kuroko thought his special pass would work T__T Honestly, that moment I was really amazed by his naivety. I also didn't like the superior behaviour of Aomine (nothing new here). I thought Kuroko would actually say something to throw him off his high horse. Even if mentally. I know he can. I'm always pissed that main characters get lead by such people like Aomine, and they just let them say trash. Of course, I don't need Kuroko to say sth like "we're still better". But I'd like them to stop him somehow. I can think of a lot of things I'd say... And even though they were team Aomine still hurt him. I don't like it.
I LOVED "no one cried" part! That's the spirit boys!

One thing that bothered me is how Kuroko never seems to ever pre-inform his teammates of how ridiculously broken his ex-teammates were.
It was one thing with Kise, but since then, he's allowed his team to have their jaws drop at how awesome the GoM were.
(Granted, they needed to do that for the drama, but it's still a bit jarring)

I guess we can extrapolate a little and say that the GoM are upgraded versions of other players we've seen. e.g: Midorima (SG) is the captain taken to the max, while Aomine (PF) is a more refined form of Kagami.
I'm presuming Akashi (PG) has a more developed version of the hawk/eagle eyes, perhaps being able to predict the future accurately based on the present.

What was he going to do? Warn them that the Generation of Miracles is literally better than they can imagine? Heck, they're famous players in famous schools (for people who care about Japanese high school basket, anyway...). I'm sure there are videos they can watch.

Removing fallen and unpicked fruit from fields may inhibit populations of the spotted wing drosophila, a new invasive pest, researchers have found.
However, questions remain whether such field sanitation practices are financially realistic.
Spotted wing drosophila is notorious for laying eggs in ripening fruit, rendering it unsalable.
However, Oregon State University entomologist Amy Dreves has found the fly also lays eggs and survives in blueberries that have dropped and begun decaying.
For farmers, even one spotted wing drosophila fly is considered too many, as the pest can multiply rapidly, Dreves said during the recent Pacific Northwest Insect Management Conference in Portland, Ore.
Larvae that develop in fallen fruit can reach adulthood and perpetuate another generation of flies, so cleaner fields are associated with lower numbers of the spotted wing drosophila, she said.
Leftover hanging fruit can also provide habitat for the pest, which can then invade newly ripening varieties — a particular concern for organic growers with more limited crop protection options.
Even so, it's unclear how to inexpensively remove such infested fruit and many farmers see sanitation as providing a lower return on investment compared to chemicals, Dreves said.
Sanitation nonetheless warrants study because the pest may eventually be able to withstand current pesticides, she said. "I feel like we're on the road to resistance."
Sanitation is more of a concern in greenhouse fruit production, where harvest is more continuous and fallen berries cause re-contamination, said Tom Peerbolt, research coordinator for the Oregon Raspberry and Blackberry Commission.
Farmers feared that fallen fruit would be a much bigger concern in fields when spotted wing drosophila appeared in Oregon in 2009, he said.
Since then, though, growers have been able to keep the pest controlled with chemicals and sanitation hasn't developed into a major practical problem, Peerbolt said.
Removing such fruit isn't economically feasible in outdoor systems, he said. "The labor cost of this is just amazing."

Sunday, June 06, 2010 Israel Today Staff
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has led the international campaign to discredit Israel in the aftermath of its seizing of a flotilla of terrorist-backed aid ships to Gaza. Now Erdogan has vowed to personally sail to Gaza and break Israel's maritime blockade of the Hamas-ruled territory.
Lebanese newspaper Al-Mustaqbal cited Turkish sources "in the know" who said Erdogan is seriously considering joining the next flotilla of ships to Gaza.
He may also order a squad of Turkish Navy gunships to accompany the next flotilla and give the Israelis a real showdown at sea.
Erdogan and other Turkish officials have used the flotilla incident as an excuse to downgrade relations with Israel and express hostility toward the Jewish state, but Israeli officials note that Turkey has been moving in that direction for some time.
Turkey "has been a friend in the past," aid Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren. But under its current leadership, Oren noted that "Turkey has embraced the leaders of Iran and Hamas, all of whom called for Israel's destruction."
In fact, just hours before Oren spoke to reporters, Erdogan told an Istanbul news agency that he does not view Hamas as a terrorist organization.
Erdogan, Turkey's most Islamist prime minister in decades, has been working hard in recent years to reestablish his nation as a regional Islamic superpower. Leaders in this region know that the best way to do that is to antagonize Israel.
Those efforts were boosted during the January 2009 Israeli incursion into Gaza to bring a halt to incessant Hamas rocket fire on southern Israel. Erdogan led international condemnation of Israel, and at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland two weeks after the Gaza war, Erdogan stormed out of a joint panel when Israeli President Shimon Peres tried to defend his nation's actions.
Israel is not alone in seeing Erdogan's behavior as exaggerated and dangerous.
In it's Friday editorial, the New York Times insisted, "Turkish officials have let their anger and rhetoric go way too far."
The newspaper urged Turkey to calm down, stop the overly hostile rhetoric toward Israel, and to especially stop comparing the flotilla incident to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US.
The Washington Post also chimed in, using its Saturday editorial to call for Erdogan to be investigated for his ties to the terrorist organizations that sponsored the Gaza flotilla.
In particular, the Turkish IHH played a major roll in financing and organizing the flotilla, and its members were the ones who violently confronted the Israeli boarding party aboard the Mavi Marmara, resulting in the deaths of nine so-called "activists."
The Post noted that the IHH, in addition to supporting Hamas, has a long history of backing anti-Western terror groups, including Al Qaeda. IHH offiicials have also actively campaigned on behalf of Erdogan, and their presence aboard the ships apparently won his blessing.
The paper wrote that with such terrorist ties and his outlandish rhetoric following the flotilla incident, Erdogan has become a competitor with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hizballah leader Shiekh Hassan Nasrallah for the title of Israel's most hot-headed enemy in the region.

PARIS (Reuters) - French authorities are in contact with two French hostages who have left the desert gas facility in Algeria where they were being held by Islamist militants, France's Interior Minister Manuel Valls said on Friday.
Thirty hostages and at least 11 of their captors were killed on Thursday when Algerian forces stormed the desert gas plant in a bid to free many dozens of captives, an Algerian security source said.
Valls told RTL radio information from the In Amenas site was patchy. French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said he had been told by his Algerian counterpart in the middle of Friday morning the operation to free the hostages was continuing.
One French hostage, who works for the CIS catering company at the facility, said he hid in a room away from other foreign hostages, arranging planks of wood to conceal his presence, and survived thanks to food brought by Algerian colleagues.
"I stayed hidden for nearly 40 hours in my bedroom, under the bed," Alexandre Berceaux told Europe 1 radio after his release, admitting he had been sure he would end up killed and was still in shock.
"When the military came to get me, I did not know whether it was over," he added. "They arrived with colleagues (Algerians who worked with him), otherwise I would never have opened the door."
Berceaux said Algerian soldiers found some British hostages hiding on the roof and were still combing the sprawling gas site for others when he was escorted to a nearby military base, from where he expected to be transferred to France.
"They are still counting them up," he said.
Regis Arnoux, chief executive of French firm CIS, which employs some 150 Algerian staff at the In Amenas plant, told French radio and TV that all of his employees were safe and the Algerians were in the process of being sent home.
"I had exchanges during the night with the head of my subsidiary in Algeria who told me the 150 Algerians were safe and sound," he told Europe 1 radio.
He said he had heard that those hostages who managed to escape had disguised themselves to slip past their captors.
Valls said authorities had no information about two other presumed French hostages. "As for the two others, if there were two others, we ... hope to get new information early today."
The foreign ministry said that, despite regular contact with the Algerian government, things remained very confused, so it would say very little about the situation for the time being.
Valls advised against criticizing Algeria for heavy-handedness and hailed its efforts to end the stand-off, after British Prime Minister David Cameron said he had not been sufficiently informed about Algerian plans for a raid.
Europe 1 radio spoke to a second released hostage, an Algerian, who also said some others had yet to be rescued.
"There are still some hostages there but they will get them out," he said, adding that he was with a Frenchman and four British men, including one from Scotland who was hurt during the crisis. "I haven't closed my eyes in more than 48 hours,"

Commonly used as a nickname for Carolina, specifically North Carolina. In Barbados it is slang for vagina.
by Rin Grigori January 27, 2014
Cackalacky (and derivations thereof) is an ages old nickname for world renowned Carolina Cookout Country – the place that most folks recognize as the very birthplace of the Great American Cookout as well as the world's first sweet potato-based Spice Sauce. As a matter of fact we believe that Cackalacky Spice Sauce (A.K.A. "The official zest of the Carolinas") may actually be the eponym for the famous gustatory destination. And, while it is extremely flattering that the Cackalacky nomenclature seems to have found a happy home in urban American slang (and rural brogue, military jargon, skete punks, and biker culture, too), the simple fact is that folks have been rapping about the famous sauce recipe and name for eons. Here's a song about Cackalacky that was written circa 1937 (and re-recorded years later): http://www.cackalacky.com/singalong.php
Hope this helps!

"Intriguing ideas combined with a philosophical method of inquiry bring the benefits of gardening into the 21st century. Gardening Philosophy for Everyone: Cultivating Wisdomproduces what the title suggests – it cultivates and grows the body of knowledge about gardening, exploring the value of gardening past and present for multiple disciplines." (Journal of Therapeutic Horticulture, 1 November 2012)"So pull up a chair, relax under a shady canopy and delve into the fascinating garden-related philosophies contained in this most interesting read." (Australian Horticulture, 1 March 2011)"A good mix of topics, ideas and arguments - a very good and meaty read." (Gardensandpeople.co.uk, 1 March 2011)
"Reading this book has been an experience so enchanting, that I am eager to revisit each of the essays, to re submerge myself in their expertise. If one is a gardener, this is a publication reserved for cold winter nights or long plane rides; for the non-gardener, it is an engaging private symposium. One might also call it "variations on a theme of gardening", enriched by diverse intellectual disciplines and unexpected perspectives of the contributing authors." (Gardenguru, 29 March 2011)

One might also call it "variations on a theme of gardening", enriched by diverse intellectual disciplines and unexpected perspectives of the contributing writers." (Bookpleasures.com, 26 March 2011)
"There's nothing too 'difficult' philosophically in this book, so definitely one for any thoughtful gardeners, philosophers or not." (Wittgenstein's Watering Can, 21 April 2011)
"Finally, we have a book which celebrates and examines the topic of gardens and gardening in a way that involves more than simply helping pick the perfect plant for your shady nook." (A Garden of Possibilities, 18 April 2011)
"The book is comprised of numerous essays by different authors, each with their own unique angle. I am very impressed that Permaculture is mentioned at least once by name, and hunter-gatherers, foragers, and horticulturalists, are discussed in many of the essays. Also, each author brings their own definition of gardening, and some of them are broad enough to include the most cutting edge forest gardens as well as many primitive peoples' land management techniques. Even the essays with a more narrow view of what a garden is had interesting thoughts of our interaction with plants and how that impacts us philosophically." (Nathan Carlos Rupley, 15 April 2011)
"Editor Dan O'Brien has assembled a collection of essays, among which are Mara Miller's reflections upon the many layers of time and change inherent in gardens, and the ways in which they affect persona experiences, which illuminate how these may play into design considerations". (Garden Design Journal, 1 April 2011)
"Gardening is not absent from philosophy; after all, Voltaire's Candide ends with the admonition to 'cultivate our garden.' This book examines how gardening is like philosophy and vice versa. Much space is also given to political philosophy and some fascinating explorations into the political and philosophical ramifications of historical gardening in London and Aztec Mexico. The series is likely to appeal to armchair philosophers and undergraduates alike, and this volume will give gardeners of an intellectual bent a philosophical justification for their hobby." (Library Journal, March 2011)
"A new book on the philosophy of gardening - edited by Dan O'Brien and Fritz Allhoff - has been written by and for the green-thumbed thinker, the practical gardener, the salad gardener, the architect, the archaeologist, and the artist at work among the ferns". (Horticulture Week, 12 January 2011)
"Either way, it is an engaging and enjoyable read, and readers of the ERB will certainly want to stay tuned for future volumes in this diverse - and apparently all-encompassing - series!". (Englewood Review of Books, 28 December 2010)
"Another essay takes a slightly different slant on Miller's theme, showing how gardens exist as patterns in time, just as music does. Overall, too many of these essays treat of the garden as a metaphor rather than as an actuality. But such books are rarely seen, and this one provides more than enough food for thought amid acres of identikit 'your kitchen-garden' and allotment books." (The Telegraph, 7 December 2010)

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico's police chief has suspended four officers suspected of planting a gun in a man's car and charging him with possession of an illegal weapon.
Hector Pesquera says his department is investigating the case after he analyzed video from a private security camera posted on YouTube.
Police spokeswoman Michelle Franco said Wednesday that two of the officers were suspended without pay.
The officers had arrested three men in the case on Jan. 25. The charges were dropped after a defense attorney submitted the video during a court hearing.
The investigation comes after the Puerto Rican government recently signed an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department to reform an agency long accused of corruption, illegal killings and civil rights violations.

I haven't seen a clear ending, where Harima ends up with Yakumo, btw. The SR ending is an open ending, where only a couple of love birds end up together. Harima wasn't one of them.
If talking about SR, one is never to late for the party, in some way. The series may get older and older, but the quality never drops. Tough it's sad, that with every additional year, the total number of animes is rising and less and less people are gonna even notice such a masterpiece anime and manga. What I see in the last few seasons is a trend, that goes slightly away from solid love stories, but are more focused on 'moe' and 'ecchi', what always makes money.

As for the ending, it seems like a troper on TvTropes said that Harima ends up living with Yakumo despite being engaged to Eri, so it's a sort of 3-person engagement that everyone's happy with.
I had really hoped for Harima to lose the match in SRZ, simply because it would have been so nice to see their actual marriage between an embarassed Eri and Harima
I was somewhat surprised to see a few instances where there was more fanservice than I expected in SR (namely the few situations where the girls are bathing in a hotspring or in their shower rooms). Compared to most recent series, however, this low level of fanservice (to me) is much better and proves that SR doesn't have to appeal to hormones to be liked ^^

But hey, if Rozen Maiden can return, so can SR!
In terms of non Rom-Com shows, I loved Kemono Souja Erin, Katanagatari, Kino no Tabi, AnoHana and from last year Tari Tari. But even then, as much as I love these shows, they just lack something that SR had. And so SR remains top for me.

But fanmai from one of his fans, I don't think so :x He'll probably dismiss that as 'something I used to do around 7~8 years ago, but I've long forgotten about it and my current work is more interesting!'
I think, I plan to make a list of SR fans that are still active here. If you're active, quote this paragraph and add your own name to it ^^

Finally, I'm planning to do a drum cover each of 2 songs from SR that I like quite a lot and post on my YT account. I think it's the least I can do for an anime series that I like . I'll post the links here when I've uploaded the drum covers!

One does not simply discuss SR with JK. I think you take it to slightly. We have sent some mails to him but without any chances to get a reply. If you don't speak perfect Japanese, you don't have any slight chances, that he will read the email to the end.

You posted that in the other thread, already. There is no need to spam here. We are only a few people, who are still luring around in the SR part of this forum. Btw, this petition is three years old and it's most likely not active anymore, but simply a corpse of endless failed petitions.

It's been a long time since I actually posted anything here, but I've been checking in on the news every once in a while!
Ahh, School Rumble... how bitter you left me. I still can't get over the cliffhanger ending, nor the fact how School Rumble Z practically tried to solve nothing. Small part of me still is waiting for Kobayashi to truly give a proper finish to this series, and it certainly needs a few more volumes for that.
If that'd be too much, I'd kinda like just rough 50 pages of 'after years'-style storytelling of what went on with everyones life (the most important characters, mind you). If only it was easier to get in touch with Kobayashi... It should deliver well enough for the fans as far as commercial success goes, I'd assume.

Active Life is Key for Nonogenarian
At 91, Vernice Evans may be one of western Wisconsin's best examples of someone living a life of vitality.
"I think staying active and having a lot of friends helps you stay healthy," she said. "I've had my share of health issues, but I've kept going."
Evans has been the front desk receptionist at the New Richmond News for more than 18 years and she still comes in several days a week to greet customers, proofread and answer phones.
"At least people have stopped asking me when I am going to retire," Evans said with a laugh. "Because the answer is 'never.'"
The nonogenarian also keeps a busy schedule outside of work, singing in the First Lutheran Church choir and playing bridge with two different groups.
Evans can also be found at the New Richmond Golf Club on nice days teeing it up for a round with her friends.
"It's good exercise," she said. "And it's just a lot of fun."
Evans began playing golf when she was in high school, getting hooked on the sport after her father introduced her to it.
After marrying Klayton Evans in 1942, and getting through the World War II years, Evans and her family moved to New Richmond in 1949. It didn't take long for the couple to join the New Richmond Golf Club. Evans has been a member for more than 60 straight years.
Evans continued to play in the club's women's league until last year. Now she plays when the weather is pleasant and her former teammates are available.
Evans, who travels to Hawaii each winter, even hits the links when she's visiting her kids.
"Everyone in our family really likes golf," she said. "Every July, we even have a golf outing and all my relatives play."
Born in Paynesville, Minn., Evans lived in Excelsior, Minn. for a time before moving with her husband to New Richmond. Klayton operated the Shell Station for many years, then he ran the Oldsmobile dealership in town for some time. Vernice did the bookkeeping for those businesses in the evenings.
Klayton worked at Johnson Motors for about 13 years after selling the family business.
Vernice stayed at home to raise children prior to taking a job as a secretary at Doughboy Industries Inc. (now Domain Inc.) in 1960.
"Back then, men could smoke at their desks and women couldn't," she recalled with a laugh. "They had so many strict rules. I suppose they were good."
Evans worked there for 34 years, spending many of her early years booking travel itineraries for salespeople and customers of the local company. Evans had to travel a lot herself to check out the various locations prior to booking.
"That's why I don't travel a lot now," she said. "When I traveled with Doboy Feeds, it was all first class. I couldn't afford to travel like that now."
Evans eventually attained the position of advertising manager.
After she retired from Domain Inc., Evans stopped in to talk to friend and then-New Richmond News publisher Mike Burke. Burke offered Evans a job on the spot.
"They needed someone part time," she said. "I kind of filled in where ever they needed me."
Because of her long history in New Richmond, Evans has become the resident expert at the News. Whenever a reporter has a question about someone in the community, Evans is usually able to identify the individual, their close relatives and a good portion of their professional resumes.
"I really enjoy it," Evans said of her ongoing job at the newspaper.
