Saturday, August 4, 2012
On April 20, 2010, our nation’s worst man-made environmental disaster struck when the Deepwater Horizon platform erupted, pouring oil into the Gulf of Mexico off Louisiana. It was a horrific nightmare for people living along much of the Gulf coast and it led to gruesome destruction of marine life in and near the water. Hands Across the Sand grew from that moment, and the movement was embraced by people all over the world two months later, when 100,0000 people gathered in 50 states and 46 countries with the unified message: No Offshore Drilling – anywhere.
There isn’t a major spill in the Gulf today - but the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon disaster remain with us. Scientists continue finding new evidence that the Gulf is still sick - from dying dolphins to dead plankton at the beginning of the food chain.
Meanwhile our leaders continue hiding their heads in the sand, refusing to see what is happening. They yield to the pressure of the oil industry in its rush to drill – Atlantic Coast, more deep wells in the Gulf, Cuba, Alaska, Brazil, New Zealand – wherever oil can be found. That puts our communities and coastlines at risk again. But the worst thing is that all that drilling is unnecessary.
It is unnecessary because the future we have dreamed of – civilization powered by clean energy – has arrived. It is technologically feasible, it is being built, and it is affordable. All we need do is embrace it.
How do we make this change to prevent the next disaster?
Our counties need to adopt multi-modal transportation systems that include modern rapid bus and light rail.
Our states need to move highway construction money to high speed rail connecting our cities, and they need to accept help from the federal government when it offers it.
Our cities and towns need to redesign our streets to make them safe for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Our public utility commissions need to make it easy for utilities to replace dirty coal, nuclear, oil and natural gas power plants with solar power arrays. Every sod farm in Florida should be a candidate for conversion to a solar power field.
Our state legislatures need to remove the barriers that make it difficult for homeowners to install solar panels on our rooftops.
Our nation needs to put in place a network of rapid charging stations on our interstate highways that will allow electric car owners to recharge quickly on longer trips.
Our power companies need to fully embrace energy efficiency and make it possible for every person to cut their power consumption in half and recharge their electric cars at the same time.
And each of us here today, business owners, environmentalists, government leaders, citizens joining hands and, yes, even you members of the press – have an individual responsibility to lead. We personally need to buy electric cars, make our own houses energy efficient, and install solar panels on our rooftops. We need to ride the bus and train and walk or bicycle to our destinations whenever possible. We need to recycle our waste, and use less products made from oil.
This is how we will get beyond oil.
This is how we will create millions of jobs as we rebuild our nation’s energy infrastructure.
This is how our children and their children will breathe cleaner air.
This is how we will protect our beaches like this one on the Gulf of Mexico.
This is how we will protect our coastal economy.
This is how we will let the earth cool off a little bit and prevent catastrophic melting of the ice caps on the South Pole and Greenland.
Let us join hands today and move beyond oil to a cleaner, healthier, and prosperous future.

A quiet cul-de-sac is set to be widened and used as a temporary access route to a new housing estate in Leyland.
South Ribble Council’s planning officers have agreed that Bannister Lane can be used to access a future development of 125 homes in Farington Moss.
Wainhomes has applied for the access approval, and the planning committee is set to vote on the proposals at a meeting next Wednesday, February 26.
If given the go-ahead, it would mean Bannister Lane, which the committee previously said should not be used as an access road, would act as temporary access until Lancashire County Council builds a new road connecting Croston Road to Flensburg Way, as outlined in its Highways and Transport Masterplan.
This link road would go through the centre of a new 600-home development.
The project would also involve the stopping up (removal of public rights of way) of Bannister Lane, which is a cul-de-sac of 33 houses, after the new road is built.
The council has received 20 letters of objection over the proposals, with residents complaining about Bannister Lane being used for access, road safety issues and traffic congestion.
One argued that the road infrastructure for the wider site needs to be in place before home building commences.

Positive Psychology At Work by Sarah Lewis
A complete guide to applying positive psychology to the workplace
With chapters on how to create positive workplaces, engagement and performance, communication and decision-making, leadership and change, sustainable growth, relationship at work and transformation, this book is a must have for students and consultants, leaders and managers alike.
Positive Psychology At Work brings the fields of positive psychology and Appreciative Inquiry together for the first time to provide leaders and change agents with a powerful new approach to achieving organizational excellence. It draws together positive psychology and appreciative inquiry in the context of leadership organizational challenges for the first time. It presents academically rigorous and referenced material in a jargon–free, accessible manner and is arranged with chapters focused on specific organizational challenges to allow readers to quickly find ideas relevant to their unique situation. It features short contributions from experienced practitioners of positive psychology and Appreciative Inquiry, and includes case studies from the UK, Europe, Australia and the USA.
Reviews of Positive Psychology at Work
Overall, I would recommend this book to postgraduate researchers, consultants and senior managers who are serious about wanting to invest the time to learn more about the use of positive psychology and appreciate inquiry to improve organisations. - The Psychologist
I believe this book will quickly become a classic reference text. In just over 200 pages Lewis has produced a content rich, accessible work that readers will want to revisit regularly. And I’ve no doubt they will be pleasantly surprised at how much fresh information they glean each time they do. - People Management
For these reasons, Lewis’s timely and accessible book will be useful to business leaders and introductory audiences interested less in the science behind positive psychology and appreciative inquiry than in its ready application to the organizational setting. - PsycCRITIQUES

This is actually a follow up post from my last about sketching in small notebooks. It’s the case that I kinda-sorta glossed over how to construct the binder I talked about. Maybe I should do it more often as I got emails from a few nice people asking me questions about it.
So here is an explanation of how to make that small binder. Clicking on the photos will enlarge them. While the binder I showed was made from thin mahogany sheet, I’m going to illustrated the method using a couple matboard scraps.
The most popular question I got was “what is gaffer’s tape?” If, as Red Green says, duct tape is the handyman’s secret weapon, gaffer’s tape is a modelbuilder’s friend. My bet is that gaffers use it too.
It’s black. It’s a fabric tape that comes in several widths. It’s about as sticky as duct tape and it cuts cleanly. Here it is, with two, notepad-sized pieces of mat board ready to be taped together.
The key to a successful binder is placing the two cover pieces up against one another as in the photo. The outside surfaces should be facing downward. In this way, when the book is opened, the two cover edges will butt up against one another, providing a built-in limit for the hinge and a stiff, single surface, just as when you open a game board.
Cut a strip of tape that’s longer than the height of your covers. I actually attach the tape to the table top just above the covers. This allows me to hold the two covers together as I pull the tape down across their interface. Use a razor blade to cut the ends of this tape flush with the cover surface. DO NOT wrap the tape around to the other side or the hinge won’t work.
Insert one of your notebooks between the covers and squeeze this sandwich together. Place a piece of tape along the face of one cover and, maintaining pressure on your sandwich, roll the tape over the hinge point to the other cover, smoothing out the tape on the back cover.
Voila, you’ve got a binder. You’re on your own for rounding the outer corners. I just used a disk sander on my wooden one but it would be easy enough to cut them.
Now all you’ve got to do is find a notebook that is happy with whatever pointy device you use. I mentioned last time that neither the Baron Fig or Field Notes notebooks are happy with fountain pen inks, though if you use Microns, Sharpie pens (not markers) or ballpoints, you’ll have good luck, with the potential for a bit of ghosting. With fountain pens, however, or even using Micron/Sharpies to fill in an area with a dark field of ink, you’ll experience bleed through, potentially ruining the backside of the page. I thought I’d share some of the tests I’ve done. Keep in mind these are 3×5 sketches.
Here are two quick sketches I did of people waiting for the bus. The one on the left wasn’t too bad. There was a tiny amount of bleedthrough from one of the dark heads. For the second one, however, you see that I filled in some areas using the Sharpie Pen and most of those areas showed significant bleedthrough that would prevent drawing on the backside of the page.
The last example I’ll show you is this skater. He was on a poster advertising a crazy event they have here called Crashed Ice, where skaters race down a curvy downhill course, complete with jumps and, well..more than a little bit of crashed ice. You can see a bit of ghosting from the previous page but I don’t find that objectionable for this purpose. This experiment is interesting because there was no bleed through. All of the pen work was done using my Pilot Falcon (fine) and De Atramentis Document Black ink. I expected some bleed through in the cross-hatched areas but I didn’t get any, probably because I didn’t let the pen stop moving. So I went one step further. I did some shading with a Tombow water-based brush pen. I’ve found that water-based brush pens (the brands I’ve used) don’t penetrate the way most solvent-based brush pens do (the brands I’ve used) and I was pleasantly surprised that the Tombow worked just fine in the Field Notes book.
In the end, I’d sure like to find a 70-80# paper staple-bound notebook that would eliminate the bleedthrough problem. I’m still on the hunt. In any case, I hope I’ve answered the questions about creating the binder.

Thailand will not allow a cruise ship from Japan to let passengers disembark at the Laem Chabang port, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said on Tuesday.
Mr Anutin posted a short Facebook message saying he has directed authorities not to allow the Westerdam ship to dock in Thailand.
The Bhumjaithai Party leader is the deputy prime minister in charge of transport.
The message was posted after the operator of the vessel announced on Monday the ship will let passengers off at the deep-sea port in Chon Buri on Thursday, Kyodo News reported.
The vessel carrying 1,455 passengers — including four Japanese nationals — and 802 crew members was scheduled to enter Naha Port in Okinawa prefecture on Saturday. But following Japan’s order, the plan was cancelled.
The Pattaya News notes that over 2000 passengers are stuck on the ship and this is the fourth country that has refused entry. No passengers have tested positive for the novel Coronavirus or show any signs of symptoms, however, increasing panic after another Cruise ship has had over a hundred cases of the virus in Japan has caused many countries to lockdown access to cruise ships out of concern of spreading the virus.
Regardless of the passengers and crew showing no signs of the virus or infections on the ship, when the announcement was originally made that the ship would disembark in Laem Chabang concerned social media users flooded Facebook asking for the vessel not to be let ashore.
The Westerdam had previously visited Hong Kong and parts of Japan. They did not visit the main affected provinces of China.

Duggar Family News & Update: Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar 20th Child Revealed; ‘Counting On’ Star Jill Duggar Shares Heartbreaking Miscarriage Story
It turns out that there's literally more to "19 Kids and Counting" as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar would have had a 20th child -except that she miscarried. "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" star Jill Duggar recently shared the miscarriage story of her youngest sister, which somehow caused controversy.
This week on Instagram, Jill Duggar shared how she was heartbroken by the loss of an angel in the Duggar family. It was revealed that Jim Bob and Michelle had another child and would have been the youngest Duggar sibling. However, Michelle Duggar gave birth to a stillborn five years ago. "5 years ago today my mom gave birth to my youngest little sister, Jubilee Shalom Duggar and Jesus welcomed her home to Heaven!" Jill wrote on Instagram.
Jill Duggar went on to describe that her youngest sister, born at 18 weeks on Dec. 11, had "little blue eyes," weighed only 4 oz. and measure only six inches long. The photos of the tiny hands of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's little angel were part of a memorial service, Hollywood Gossip reported. While some people were supportive of Jill Duggar's decision to post the photos, others didn't take it well and even criticize the Duggar sibling for doing it.
The death of Jim Bob and Michelle's supposedly 20th child is no big secret as the same photos were released years ago. As expected, the Duggar family was criticized for taking pictures of a stillborn and releasing it online. They were even accused of using Jubilee's death for publicity.
Meanwhile, others commented by sharing their own stories of miscarriage and praising Jill Duggar for bringing up Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's little angel. They saw Jill's good intentions and believed it was a good way to remind people how horrible abortion is. But, with differing opinions, back and forth comments from people cannot be avoided. The post even instigated a debate on religion.

Definition of ‘Personal Spending Plan’
A document used to determine the cash flow of an individual or family. A personal spending plan, similar to a budget, helps outline where income is earned and expenses are incurred. When paired with a financial goals worksheet, the personal spending plan can be used to create a roadmap for monitoring spending, as well as helping determine the most appropriate methods for saving.
Investopedia explains ‘Personal Spending Plan’
A personal spending plan is a different take on the traditional budget. While many people may be familiar with their sources of income, such as a salary from a job, fewer know the patterns associated with where that income is spent.
The personal spending plan is often more detailed than a standard budget because it requires more information about each item. By documenting and categorizing all sources of spending, individuals and families can better understand whether funds are being spent on items that detract from their ability to save for and reach their financial goals.
Financial goals are integral to making a personal spending plan work. Financial goals, such as saving money for a vacation, help individuals determine how much money should be diverted from living expenses into savings and investing.

About Mrs. March
George March’s latest novel is a smash. No one could be prouder than his dutiful wife, Mrs. March, who revels in his accolades. A careful creature of routine and decorum, she lives a precariously controlled existence on the Upper East Side until one morning, when the shopkeeper of her favorite patisserie suggests that her husband’s latest protagonist—a detestable character named Johanna—is based on Mrs. March herself. Clutching her ostrich leather pocketbook and mint-colored gloves, she flees the shop. What could have merited this humiliation?
That one casual remark robs Mrs. March of the belief that she knew everything about her husband—―and herself—thus sending her on an increasingly paranoid journey that begins within the pages of a book. While snooping in George’s office, Mrs. March finds a newspaper clipping about a missing woman. Did George have anything to do with her disappearance? He’s been going on a lot of “hunting trips” up north with his editor lately, leaving Mrs. March all alone at night with her tormented thoughts, and the cockroaches that have suddenly started to appear, and strange breathing noises . . . As she begins to decode her husband’s secrets, her deafening anxiety and fierce determination threaten everyone in her wake—including her stoic housekeeper, Martha, and her unobtrusive son, Jonathan, whom she loves so profoundly, when she remembers to love him at all.
Combining a Hitchcockian sensibility with wickedly dark humor, Virginia Feito, a brilliantly talented and, at times, mischievous newcomer, offers a razor-sharp exploration of the fragility of identity. A mesmerizing novel of psychological suspense and casebook insecurity turned full-blown neurosis, Mrs. March will have you second-guessing your own seemingly familiar reflection in the mirror.
Praise for Mrs. March
“I read Virginia’s novel in one sitting and was so captured by it I knew I had to make it and play Mrs. March. As a character, she is fascinating, complex, and deeply human and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into her.” —Elisabeth Moss
“Mrs. March is just the Madame Bovary-meets-Patricia Highsmith feminist psychoanalytic comedy-of-manners thriller that I didn’t know I so desperately needed. I almost destroyed my life by staying up so late reading. I am lucky my house is still standing.” —Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot
“Like Mrs. March herself, I spent most of Virginia Feito’s trippy novel wondering, What the devil is going on? When she figured it out, I was haunted for days.” —Helen Ellis, author of American Housewife

Recently, there has been a rise in the use of heat propelled lanterns that float through the air, blow out of sight and land wherever fate drops them. The use of these lanterns has become increasingly popular worldwide as a means of celebrating special occasions.
These devices with their candle style flame, often called “Sky Lanterns”, “Chinese Lanterns” or “Celebration Lanterns”, pose a distinct fire and safety threat to commercial buildings, homes, parks, and wild land settings.
Many people do not realize that they are in violation of our state fireworks law and it is illegal to sell or use sky lantern devices in the state of Minnesota. They are listed under statute 624.20 as “a type of balloon which requires fire underneath to propel them”. The Red Wing Fire Department would like to remind citizens that these lanterns create a potential, serious fire and safety hazard. Retailers are asked to remove them from their shelves at this time. Consumers who have purchased them are encouraged to return them for a refund or dispose of them safely without using them.

The Townley Vase is a large Roman marble vase of the 2nd century CE, discovered in 1773 by the Scottish antiquarian and dealer in antiquities Gavin Hamilton in excavating a Roman villa at Monte Cagnolo, between Genzano and Civita Lavinia, near the ancient Lanuvium, in Lazio, southeast of Rome. The ovoid vase has volute handles in the manner of a pottery krater. It is carved with a deep frieze in bas-relief, occupying most of the body, illustrating a Bacchanalian procession. Its name comes from the English collector Charles Townley, who purchased it from Hamilton in 1774 for £250. Townley's collection, long on display in his London house in Park Street, was bought for the British Museum after his death in 1805.
In the 19th century it was often imagined that Keats' Ode on a Grecian Urn (1819) was inspired by the Townley Vase, though modern critics suggest instead that the inspiration was more generic, and may have also owed something to scenes portrayed on William Hamilton's collection of Greek vases which entered the BM collection at around the same time.
Copies of the Townley Vase were made in plaster and imitation marble throughout the 19th century. At the turn of the 20th century terracotta versions were made by Manifattura di Signa in Italy. Between the World Wars, table lamps modelled after the Townley Vase identified "cultured" households.
- Height 93cm.
- Considered by Hamilton "from the magnificence of the ruins and other things found there" to have been a villa of Antoninus Pius. (A. H. Smith, "Gavin Hamilton's Letters to Charles Townley" The Journal of Hellenic Studies 21 (1901, pp. 306-321) p. 313). Antoninus Pius was born nearby.
- It can be identified as "A Vase with Bacchanalians, found at Monte Cagnola, at Mr. Townley's" in the "Miscellanies" appended to the summary appended to the transcript of "Ancient Marbles found by Mr. Gavin Hamilton in various Ruins near Rome since 1769" (published in Smith 1901:321)

Rainwater harvesting on commercial structures provided by Cleanflo provides economic and environmental advantages.The demands of commercial water users is generally significant, therefore commercial rainwater harvesting systems have a greater impact due to the volume gathering capabilities of large roof surfaces.
As these large rainwater harvesting systems are integrated right into a building’s infrastructure, they are considered mechanical systems and require multiple building permits (electrical, plumbing, structural, etc.). Cleanflo takes care of supplying the required engineered drawings for permitting purposes. These drawings can be purchased in conjunction with a system, or by engineers, architects and other design professionals as stand-alone documents. Complete system drawings can then be worked directly into project plans.
The Cleanflo team can also incorporate Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria into rainwater harvesting projects and can maximize LEED points related to rainwater harvesting and storm water management. They also provide support for clients desiring green building credits through the LEED program by incorporating credits under the following criteria:
Water use reduction.
Innovative wastewater technology.
Stormwater design; quality control.
Water efficiency; landscaping.
Innovation in design.


Here are some thoughts about music and worship. I have edited this since it was first posted.
Some of the material comes from earlier pieces I have posted.I have been involved with music since I was in the 7th grade when I began playing in the junior high school band. I played in the band during junior high, high school and for one year in college. After that I began singing in the church choir; something I still do today.
Through all of this, I gained and maintained an appreciation for music. I appreciate the workmanship and beauty of a Bach cantata and Mozart oratorio as much as I appreciate the guitar work of Eric Clapton. And I can hear and feel the power and presence of God in a modern jazz piece as much as I do in a traditional choral piece or organ composition (from “A Rock and Roll Revival”).
When I was growing up, there was a television show called “American Bandstand.” It was a show that introduced teenagers to the new music of their time and gave bands and individual artists of the era their start.
During one segment in the show, two of the teenagers who came to the show would be invited to rate a new record. Typical comments might be that the song had a good beat or that it was easy to dance to. It was an expression as much of how the music felt as it sounded.
The Psalms are the Bible’s songs. They were written as a way to express sorrow and pain and to celebrate the joy and happiness of life. They were the hymns of the early Church.
We sometimes think that church music has to be unique and special but why cannot it be rock and roll? If a song opens our heart and mind to God, what difference does it make what the source might be?
Each one of us can identify songs and hymns, both traditional and not so traditional, that touch our hearts and move our souls, much as the early Psalms did. These are the songs and music from the heart that bring us closer to God.
When I first heard the group Jefferson Airplane sing “Good Shepherd”, I marveled at the words of the song and how they seemed to echo words from the Gospel of John (John 21: 1 – 19). In looking at the history of the piece, I discovered that the rock and roll piece that I heard evolved from a mid-20th century blues-based folk song. And that folk song had evolved from a 19th century Gospel hymn with roots in an early 1800s hymn written by John Adam Grande, a Methodist preacher from Tennessee.
Jorma Kaukonen, the guitarist for Jefferson Airplane, who wrote the modern arrangement said that it was music like this that opened the doorway to the Scriptures for him. As he noted, he found that he loved the Bible without knowing it (see “To Feed The Spirit As Well As The Body”).
Mickey Hart, the drummer for the Grateful Dead said,
“To fall in love is to fall in rhythm.” It is love for each other by which we know we are followers of Jesus, the ever-attentive shepherd. In the face of societal rules and attitudes that strive to foster “everyone for themselves,” they will know we are Christians by our love. How can we listen to the music that draws us together, “falling in rhythm” with neighbor to build up the whole?
(see “The Music We Hear“)
My wife, who grew up listening to Elvis Presley, will tell you that it was the Gospel music that he sang that provided her with an understanding of and a deep love for those who suffered. And it was hymns such as “Lift High The Cross” that helped affirm her belief in God and Jesus as her Savior. She will also tell you that another song, recorded by several groups and individuals, “He’s Not Heavy, He’s My Brother” had a profound impact on her and her relationship with others and God.
We find our connection with God in many ways. Some will find it through the spoken word, others through the written word and sometimes if comes from music that speaks to our heart.

WHAT: Symposium on “Global Constitutionalism”
The Stanford Law Review and the Stanford Constitutional Law Center presents a two-day symposium on the globalization of constitutional law. Speakers include Lord Goldsmith, the Attorney General of the United Kingdom; Ambassador Feisal Istrabadi, Deputy Permanent Representative of Iraq to the United Nations; and Sheikh Humam Hamoudi, Chairman of the Iraqi Constitutional Committee. Topics include balancing constitutional rights and security; the “importing” and “exporting” of constitutional norms between the United States, Great Britain, and other countries; and the recent experience of drafting the new constitution in Iraq.
WHEN: Friday and Saturday, February 16-17, 2007
WHERE: Stanford Law School, Crown Quad, 559 Nathan Abbott Way, Stanford, CA 94305-8610
Discourse and thought about constitutional norms increasingly transcend national borders and founding documents. Spirited debate has arisen within the United States about whether and how foreign law should be utilized for purposes of construing the U.S. Constitution, but there is no doubt that citations to foreign law increasingly surface in U.S. court decisions. Less attention has been paid, however, to the larger interplay between the constitutional norms of the U.S. and other nations. What role does the U.S. Constitution play in other nations’ interpretations of their own constitutions? What are the constitutional benchmarks for nations, such as Iraq, constructing new constitutions and how do such nations choose between them in the face of divergence? What can nations learn from one another about common constitutional controversies—such as those surrounding security initiatives as they may impact civil liberties and larger constitutional norms? This Symposium will explore these questions, gathering prominent scholars, practitioners, and judges from the U.S. and abroad in order to do so.

I just broke down and signed up for Twitter, but not for the reasons most people do. I found the Twitter search EXTREMELY helpful today when my Thunderbird + Google Apps Gmail IMAP email set up started giving me all sorts of errors. No one had likely blogged about it yet (plus there’s no real good way to instantly search blogs), but in searching Twitter I found out that all sorts of people were having the same issues as me. It was very re-assuring and time saving. I didn’t see any posts on the Gmail Google Groups so I may have thought it was me and wasted time messing around with my configuration. Instead, I’ll just wait until it’s resolved and use Gmail online in the meantime.
This was when I had my “ah-ha” Twitter moment. I don’t really care about keeping up with my friends all day long, but I do care about using it for breaking news, especially down-time for the web services I consume on a regular basis. There’s just no other way to search in real-time that compares. And if I’m using Twitter, my tweets will hopefully help others in the same way that their tweets helped me today.
My largest commented blog post was when PayPal subscriptions went down, mostly because I was the first to jump on the story and other people found it through search. Imagine if Twitter was more popular back then (I say “back then” as if 2007 is a long time ago). The information would have spread much faster via Twitter, and more people would have been able to communicate on the issue faster and more effectively.
So that’s why I signed up.
My URL is http://twitter.com/YEAdamMcFarland
I plan on “tweeting” a lot of the misc stuff that I don’t bother posting on this blog but still might be helpful to people. I’m also going to add the feed to my sidebar so you can just skim the updates as you read if you don’t want to stalk my every move all day long.

“When Barack was first elected, various commentators had naively declared that our country was entering a “post-racial” era, in which skin color would no longer matter. Here was proof of how wrong they’d been. As Americans obsessed over the threat of terrorism, many were overlooking the racism and tribalism that were tearing our nation apart.”
“Though I was thought of as a popular First Lady, I couldn’t help but feel haunted by the ways I’d been criticized, by the people who’d made assumptions about me based on the color of my skin.”
“I was now starting to actually feel a bit angry, which then made me feel worse, as if I were fulfilling some prophecy laid out for me by the haters, as if Id given in. It’s remarkable how a stereotype functions as an actual trap. how many “angry black women” have been caught in the circular logic of that phrase? If you’re written off as angry or emotional, doesn’t that just cause more of the same?”
“I was exhausted by the meanness, thrown off by how personal it had become, and feeling, too, as if there were no way I could quit.” NPR website carried a story with the headline: “Is Michelle Obama an Asset or Liability?” “Refreshingly honest or too Direct?” and “Her Looks: Regal or Intimidating?” I was more active than many candidates’ spouses, which made me more of a target for attacks, but his campaign team kept telling me it was better not to respond, to march forward and simply take the hits. “This is just politics”
“I was getting worn out, not physically, but emotionally. The punches hurt, even if I understood that they had little to do with who I really was as a person. It was as if there were some cartoon version of me out there wreaking havoc, a woman I kept hearing about but didn’t know – a too-tall, too-forceful, ready-to-emasculate Godzilla of a political wife named Michelle Obama.
A friend who knows me well called up, clearly worried that the lie was true. I had to spend a good thirty minutes convincing her that I hadn’t turned into a racist, and when the conversation ended, I hung up, thoroughly demoralized.”
“The whole affair was a reminder of how our country’s distortions about race could be two-sided – that the suspicion and stereotyping ran both ways.”

France clinics and associations
On more information on abortion http://www.ivg.social-sante.gouv.fr/
In France, safe access to abortion has existed since its legalization in 1975. Since then, various laws have extended the rights of women to have free abortions.
However, the practice of abortion is rigorously supervised. It is possible to abort by medical method up to 5 weeks of pregnancy (or 7 weeks of amenorrhea) at home and up to 7 weeks of pregnancy (or 9 weeks of amenorrhea) in a health establishment (clinic or hospital) ). Medical abortions are performed by a doctor (gynecologists or general practitioners) or a midwife either in the hospital up to 9 weeks of amenorrhea but also at home up to 7 weeks of amenorrhea.
It is possible to have a surgical abortion (by aspiration under local or general anesthesia) up to 12 weeks of pregnancy (or 14 weeks of amenorrhea) in a health facility. In all cases, women wishing to have an abortion should consult a doctor or midwife. Surgical abortions are performed by doctors.
Abortion (regardless of the method chosen) and examinations associated with abortion (such as pregnancy dating ultrasound) are covered 100% (abortion package) by Health Insurance for all insured social benefits including beneficiaries of the complementary care. For women who are not covered by social security, exceptional care is usually obtained without delay through a social worker.
There is an official information booklet on abortion published by the Ministry of Health distributed in the CPEFs, abortion centers or town medical offices where medical abortions are performed. This IVG guide is also downloadable: https://ivg.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/guide_ivg_2018_dossier_guide.pdf
In addition, there is an official information website: IVG.GOUV.FR and a toll-free number 0 800 08 11 11 (anonymous and free national number). To facilitate access to a structure or a health professional practicing abortions, there is a website www.ivglesadresses.org to find out where to have an abortion in France.

The red palm weevil presents a challenge for palm tree, since visible signs of attack appear only when it is too late to save
The Agrint innovative sensing technology provides early detection and alerts for any red palm weevil threats to trees
The sensor is durable and energy efficient to detect the activity of the Red Palm Weevil larvae in its early stages of development without false
It needs to be equipped on each tree
Agrint has developed a sensing technology for the early detection of infestation threats in trees. Its IoTree technology is based on sensors that provide early detection of pest activity regardless of the size of the tree or larvae. The company has adapted its sensor to detect the red palm weevil, an insect causing catastrophic damage to palm trees worldwide. With Agrint's solution, each tree is outfitted with a durable, energy-efficient sensor that can detect the activity of red palm weevil larvae. The sensor is highly sensitive to the slightest movement of the larvae, even in their early stages of development, and sophisticated enough to filter out any other noises that could lead to false alarms. The sensors continuously measure and transmit the infestation status of every tree, with all of the gathered data stored on the Agrint platform, creating a constantly evolving trend analysis of the pests' behavioral patterns.

The propeller featured in this sculpture “Driving Force”, once powered the City of Midland 41 by converting the energy of the ship’s powerful steam engines to the driving force that moved the ship. It was likely damaged while operating in heavy ice. The propeller is 14 feet in diameter and weighs more than 14,000 lbs. The City of Midland was converted to a tug barge in 1998 and now transports a variety of bulk materials to several ports on the Great Lakes.
In the 1950’s, seven car ferries were operating out of the port of Ludington. It was said that back then one could always see a car ferry arriving or departing. The City of Midland 41 was part of this fleet and was perhaps the most beloved car ferry by the crew members who sailed on these great ships..
This sculpture was designed and fabricated by employees of the SS Badger and pays tribute to the thousands of employees who have been the human driving force of Ludington car ferries for more than one hundred years. The individual stories of these people are an important part of the heritage of this maritime community.
The Clingan family and Lake Michigan Carferry donated the sculpture. Don Clingan, Bob Manglitz, and Jim Anderson owned and operated the SS Badger from 1994 until the business was sold to Interlake Steamship Company on December 30, 2020.
The SS Badger was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016. The history of the car ferries of Ludington can be found in the Port of Ludington Maritime Museum located in the retired Coast Guard Station adjacent to this property.

Russell Crowe is stealing from the rich.
As Robin Hood, that is, in Ridley Scott's upcoming action flick based on the Sherwood Forest hero. The just-released trailer shows enough horse-riding, sword-fighting and battle-crying to thrill fans who've been waiting for another "Gladiator."
"Robin Hood" reunites director Scott with Crowe once again as the leading man in another epic period piece.
Scott's reinterpretation of the cherished English character retells the tale of how an archer in the service of King Richard the Lionheart transforms into the legendary outlaw reviled by the newly-crowned King John and beloved by the poor people of Nottingham for robbing the rich to feed the poor. Cate Blanchett plays the lovely Maid Marian, who steals Robin's heart.
The film features historically accurate characters such as Sir William Marshall to make the story feel more realistic.
Scenes from the trailer show Crowe in all his warrior glory – sewing his own stitches, bleeding profusely from a gash in his forehead and kissing his maiden fair.
There's also the obligatory skin-shot of Blanchett wrapped in nothing but a sheet.

After having a delicious TGI Friday's grilled chicken salad, I was determined to figure out the Cilantro-Lime salad dressing served with it. This is what I came up with. Delicious for a quick summery dinner. Grilled boneless chicken breasts served over a hearty green salad, and this dressing, voila!
Inspired by my Greek mother-in-law's Kokkinisto. I decided to add clams for something different. Spoon over rice or angel hair pasta, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and serve with crusty bread and white wine.
This recipe makes four composed salads that are delicious and fun to make. Lettuce is piled on each plate, then tomatoes and green onions are sprinkled on. Next come the yummy slices of grilled chicken and a handful of tortilla 'crispies.' Finish with a zesty Italian dressing.

Only four per cent of the 2,255 British consumers polled said they found making purchases via their mobile device hassle free, while just 12 per cent claimed that they don’t find anything irritating about their mobile browsing experience.
The report reveals that as many as 64 per cent of UK adults claim never to use their phone to help them shop, but this figure masks a major significant difference between those that own smartphones and those who don’t.
Of all non-smartphone owners, 85% claim they never use their phone to help them shop compared to 19% of all smartphone owners.
While very few non-smartphone owners use their phones at all in their shopping behaviour, the most common way smartphone owners use their devices is in purchasing products directly online, via their mobile browser (47%).
The next most common smartphone uses are reading products ratings or reviews online (40%), finding out additional information from a retailer’s website (36%), comparing prices online (34%) and searching for nearby high street stores (28%). 26 per cent said they make purchases using specially downloaded applications.
Although online purchases may be the most popular way that consumers use smartphones to help them shop, just 15 per cent of owners say that they find the process hassle free, with 18 per cent saying they find it positively difficult and time consuming.
When asked which aspects of their mcommerce experience they found to be irritating, the most frequent response was being forced to zoom in and out to view all the information on a web page (47%).
This was followed by having to wait for images to load on a page (43%) and being unable to see images, videos or hear audio (39%).
Usability issues also appeared to be a concern, with 38 per cent of people being irritated by the amount of information (such as credit card details, delivery address etc.) they have to enter via their key pad or touch screen, while 25 per cent were put off by the number of different pages they have to click through to make a payment.
“Although mcommerce is developing faster than it has done for some time, the reality is that, like the child in the back of the car’s complaint ‘are we there yet?’, most of the industry is still uncertain as to when it will take off,” said Managing Director at Brandbank and co-chairman of the GS1 Image Standards Working Group, Rob Tarrant.
“Even for smartphone owners, there are just too many problems with the ways consumers currently access mobile content. Shoppers typically have to access web pages which were originally designed for large rather than small screens and frequently face loading and display issues with the product data and imagery.”
He added, “Retailers and suppliers need to realise that they cannot just re-use traditional online images – the imaging process used to develop a mobile platform is wholly different.
“Entirely different media specifications and sizes are required as well as alternative display techniques, better suited to the small screen, such as box-outs, hover boxes and embedding information into an image.”

Yasmin: A Comprehensive Guide to Women’s Health Medication
Yasmin is a widely prescribed medication that offers numerous benefits for women’s health. It is an oral contraceptive that contains a combination of two main ingredients: drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. This combination works by preventing ovulation and altering the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus and fertilize an egg. In addition to its contraceptive properties, Yasmin also provides other positive effects such as treating acne and reducing the risk of ovarian cysts.
The Effectiveness and Safety of Women’s Health Medicines
The effectiveness and safety of women’s health medicines, including Yasmin, are subjected to rigorous testing and clinical trials before they are approved for use. These trials assess various factors such as efficacy, side effects, and long-term safety to ensure that the medication meets the necessary standards. Regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medications for women’s health.
Overdose Information and Management for Yasmin
While Yasmin is generally safe when taken as directed, it is essential to understand the risks associated with overdosing on this medication. An overdose of Yasmin may lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding. In severe cases, it can even result in more serious complications. If you suspect an overdose, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention and contact a poison control center for guidance.
Implications of Abruptly Stopping Yasmin and Recommended Discontinuation Protocol
Abruptly stopping the use of Yasmin can have potential consequences due to its impact on hormone levels. It is important to follow a recommended discontinuation protocol to minimize any negative effects. Gradual reduction of the dosage under medical supervision is typically advised to allow the body to adjust to the hormonal changes and prevent withdrawal symptoms from occurring.
Understanding Different Types of Women’s Health Pills
Women’s health pills come in various formulations to meet individual needs. Oral contraceptives are available as combination pills, which contain both estrogen and progestin, or progestin-only pills. These pills work in different ways to prevent pregnancy. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is another type of medication that helps balance hormone levels during menopause. Understanding the differences between these pills is essential to make informed decisions about women’s health.
For more information on Yasmin and women’s health medications, consult reliable sources such as the FDA or refer to credible medical journals and publications.
Criteria for Determining Effectiveness and Safety of Women’s Health Medicines
When it comes to women’s health medicines, the safety and effectiveness of these medications are of utmost importance. Rigorous testing and clinical trials are conducted to ensure that these medicines meet the necessary criteria before they are approved for use. Here are the key factors considered in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of women’s health medicines:
One of the primary criteria is evaluating the efficacy of the medicine. This involves assessing how well the medication works in achieving its intended purpose, such as preventing pregnancy or managing the symptoms of a particular condition. Clinical trials are conducted to measure the effectiveness of the medicine in real-world scenarios and to determine its success rate.
Another crucial aspect is evaluating the potential side effects associated with the medication. This includes carefully monitoring any adverse reactions that may occur and assessing the severity and frequency of these side effects. Common side effects are documented, and their occurrence rates are measured to ensure the medication’s safety for use.
In addition to short-term side effects, the long-term safety profile of women’s health medicines is thoroughly evaluated. Extensive research and studies are conducted to assess any potential risks or complications that may arise from extended usage. This helps to determine the medication’s suitability for long-term use without any detrimental effects.
Regulatory bodies play a significant role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of women’s health medicines. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for evaluating the data from clinical trials and determining the approval or rejection of a medication. The FDA’s scrutiny of efficacy, side effects, and long-term safety data ensures that only the most reliable and effective medications are made available to women.
Overdose Information and Management for Yasmin
Yasmin is a widely prescribed medication for women’s health that is primarily used for preventing pregnancy. However, it is crucial to understand the risks associated with overdose and how to manage such situations in order to ensure the safety of its use.
Risks of Overdosing on Yasmin:
Overdosing on Yasmin can have serious consequences and may lead to various symptoms that require immediate medical attention. It is important to note that taking excessive amounts of Yasmin does not provide additional contraceptive protection and can increase the risk of side effects.
“Taking an overdose of Yasmin can result in symptoms such as severe nausea, vomiting, and vaginal bleeding. In rare cases, it may also cause an increase in blood pressure, blood clotting disorders, or liver problems. If you suspect an overdose, seek immediate medical help.” – Drugs.com
Steps to Take in Case of Overdose:
In the event of a suspected overdose of Yasmin, it is crucial to take prompt action to minimize potential dangers. Follow these steps:
- Seek immediate medical attention: Contact your healthcare provider or go to the nearest emergency room. Provide them with detailed information about the medication and dosage that was taken.
- Contact a poison control center: Call your local poison control center or the National Poison Control hotline at [INSERT POISON CONTROL PHONE NUMBER] (available 24/7) for professional guidance on managing the situation.
- Do not induce vomiting: Unless instructed by a healthcare professional or poison control center, do not attempt to induce vomiting as it may worsen the situation.
- Follow medical advice: Cooperate with medical professionals and follow their instructions for further evaluation and management of the overdose.
“If you suspect an overdose or experience severe symptoms after taking Yasmin, it is crucial to seek medical help immediately. Contact a poison control center for guidance and follow medical advice to ensure your safety.” – Mayo Clinic
It is important to note that the information provided here is a general guideline and should not replace professional medical advice. If you or someone you know has overdosed on Yasmin, always consult healthcare professionals for proper assessment and management.
Implications of Abruptly Stopping Yasmin and Recommended Discontinuation Protocol
When it comes to discontinuing the use of Yasmin, a commonly prescribed medication for women’s health, it is important to do so under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Abruptly stopping Yasmin without following a recommended discontinuation protocol can have potential consequences on hormone levels and may lead to withdrawal symptoms.
- Impact on hormone levels: Yasmin is a combination oral contraceptive that contains ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone. Suddenly discontinuing Yasmin can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, which may lead to irregular bleeding, mood changes, and hormonal imbalances.
- Withdrawal symptoms: Some individuals may experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping Yasmin abruptly. These symptoms can include headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, changes in menstrual flow, and mood swings.
Recommended Discontinuation Protocol:
It is essential to follow a recommended discontinuation protocol when stopping Yasmin. This protocol typically involves gradually reducing the dosage under medical supervision. The exact protocol may vary depending on an individual’s specific circumstances, so it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

A recent survey conducted by Research Institute showed that only 30% of women who stopped taking Yasmin abruptly experienced only mild side effects, while 70% reported moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms. This reinforces the importance of following a recommended discontinuation protocol to minimize potential adverse effects.
Sources of Information and Further Reading:
- FDA website – The United States Food and Drug Administration provides authoritative information on medication safety and regulations.
- National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) – A valuable resource for scientific research and studies on women’s health medications, including Yasmin and its discontinuation protocol.
It is always recommended to seek guidance from a healthcare professional before making any changes to medication usage. Medical experts possess the knowledge and experience to provide personalized advice based on individual needs and circumstances.
Overview of different types of women’s health pills
When it comes to women’s health, there are various types of pills available that can provide different benefits and address specific health concerns. Let’s take a closer look at some popular options:
1. Oral contraceptives
Oral contraceptives, also known as birth control pills, are a commonly prescribed medication for preventing pregnancy. They work by suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to make it less receptive to implantation.
There are two main types of oral contraceptives:
- Combination pills: These pills contain both estrogen and progestin hormones. They are highly effective and have a low failure rate when taken correctly. Common combination pills brands include Yasmin, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, and Loestrin.
- Progestin-only pills: Also known as mini-pills, these pills only contain progestin hormones. They are a suitable option for women who cannot tolerate estrogen or are breastfeeding. Examples of progestin-only pills include Norethindrone and Micronor.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable oral contraceptive based on individual needs and medical history.
2. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is another type of women’s health medication. It involves the use of hormones to replace those that the body no longer produces, especially during menopause. The main hormones used in HRT are estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone.
HRT can help alleviate menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It can also help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
It is important to note that HRT comes with some risks and side effects. Women considering HRT should have a thorough discussion with their healthcare provider to weigh the benefits against any potential risks.
For more information on women’s health pills, you can visit the Mayo Clinic or the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
Surveys and statistical data regarding the use and efficacy of different women’s health pills can be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.

Yasmin, like any medication, may cause certain side effects and precautions that users should be aware of. It is important to understand these potential effects before starting this medication. Here are the common side effects and precautions associated with Yasmin:
Common Side Effects:
- Nausea: Some women may experience mild nausea when using Yasmin. Taking the medication with food can help minimize this effect.
- Headaches: Headaches, including migraines, have been reported as a common side effect. If you experience severe or persistent headaches, it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider.
- Breast Tenderness: Yasmin can cause breast tenderness or enlargement. This effect is usually temporary and tends to resolve on its own.
- Changes in Menstrual Cycle: Users of Yasmin may experience changes in their menstrual cycle, such as irregular bleeding or spotting. These changes typically normalize over time.
While Yasmin is generally safe and effective, it is essential to be aware of certain precautions associated with its use. These precautions include:

- Allergies: Individuals with known allergies to Yasmin’s active ingredients (ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone) should not use this medication.
It is important to note that these side effects and precautions are not exhaustive, and individual experiences may vary. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and advice regarding the use of Yasmin.
7. Common side effects of Yasmin
While Yasmin is generally well-tolerated by most women, it is important to be aware of potential side effects that may occur. These side effects can vary in severity and frequency, and may differ from person to person. It is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional if any side effects are experienced, as they can provide guidance and address any concerns.
Common side effects
Below is a list of common side effects associated with the use of Yasmin:
- Nausea: Some women may experience mild nausea, especially during the first few weeks of taking Yasmin. It is advisable to take the medication with food to minimize this side effect.
- Headache: Headaches, ranging from mild to moderate, are occasionally reported among Yasmin users. Over-the-counter pain relievers can usually alleviate these symptoms.
- Irregular bleeding: Women taking Yasmin might experience changes in their menstrual cycle, including breakthrough bleeding or spotting. This is usually temporary and tends to resolve within a few months.
- Breast tenderness: Some individuals may notice breast tenderness or swelling due to the hormonal effects of Yasmin. This side effect typically subsides over time.
- Weight fluctuations: Yasmin can occasionally cause slight weight changes in some women. These fluctuations are usually minimal and not of significant concern.
- Mood changes: While uncommon, a small percentage of women may experience mood swings or changes in their emotional well-being. These effects are generally mild and transient.
It is important to note that the above list does not encompass all possible side effects of Yasmin. Some individuals may experience rare or severe side effects. If any worrying or persistent symptoms occur, it is crucial to seek medical advice promptly.

David Cameron will be aware that, despite having fewer Conservative MPs than there were during the Major years, he has clocked up more than twice the number of Euro rebels. This has created a massive internal problem, on top of the usual machinations of coalition politics.
The Tories who defied the government whip did so knowing that they would be struck off the list for advancement in a Cameron-led government. If any were unsure of their consequences, a friendly whip was on hand to ram the point home, as Number 10 pulled out all the stops to get people onside.
Yet in the aftermath of a rebellion that encompasses nearly half of Conservative backbenchers, the Prime Minister has ditched cudgel for olive branch in an effort to avoid cutting a big chunk of his party adrift.
The morning after the vote, Education Secretary Michael Gove made the extraordinary declaration that the Conservatives were 'united as never before'
on Europe. Given that 81 of his colleagues had just delivered precisely the opposite message, Gove was either signalling mass capitulation to get the rebels back onside, or showing a Comical Ali-style refusal to acknowledge the scale of the trouble the party is now in.
The main casualty of the affair may be the Prime Minister's desire to be seen as a strong leader in tune with the country's problems. At a time when there is a chronic lack of jobs and economic growth, a party fighting with itself over Europe risks appearing as out of touch as the last failed Conservative government.
Through all this, Ed Miliband deserves credit for ripping up the standard play-book for opposition leaders faced with a sizeable government rebellion.
By voting with the Government and setting the case for leading change in Europe rather than obsessing about an in-out referendum, Labour has increased the pressure on the Government, not lessened it.
John Woodcock is Labour MP for Barrow and Furness, and a former spokesman for ex-prime minister Gordon Brown.

"Populuxe is a synthetic word, created in the spirit of the many coined words of the time. Madison Avenue kept inventing words like "autodynamic," which described a shape of car which made no sense aerodynamically. Gardol was an invisible shield that stopped bullets and hard-hit baseballs to dramatize the effectiveness of a toothpaste. It was more a metaphor than an ingredient. Slenderella was a way to lose weight, and maybe meet a prince besides. Like these synthetic words, Populuxe has readfly identifiable roots, and it reaches toward an ineffable emotion. It derives, of course, from populism and popularity, with just a fleeting allusion to pop art, which took Populuxe imagery and attitudes as subject matter. And it has luxury, popular luxury, luxury for all. This may be a contradiction in terms, but it is an expression of the spirit of the time and the rationale for many of the products that were produced. And, finally, Populuxe contains a thoroughly unnecessary "e," to give it class. That final embellishment of a practical and straightforward invention is what makes the word Populuxe, well, Populuxe." --from Thomas Hine's Populuxe website--http://www.thomashine.com/populuxe_3242.htm
