Azabu – Afternoon Walk
Even a city the size of Tokyo slows down during the winter, especially from mid-january until Valentine’s, as many shops take the slow days to refurbish stores and plan new campaigns. I still wanted to show you what a quite Tokyo looks like so I took these snapshots while running an errand in Tokyo’s downtown Azabu district yesterday. Azabu is famous for it’s high concentration of foreigners and relatively expensive living, being very close to the fashionable Roppongi district. More exciting shots to come, but let’s enjoy a peaceful Tokyo at least a couple of times in a year!

The book High Weirdness by Mail by Rev. Ivan Stang has quite a bit of information on kooks, but the most definitive book on kooks was written by another SubGenius reverend, Rev. Donna Kossy, back in 1994, and is titled Kooks: A Guide to the Outer Limits of Human Belief, and you can read glowing reviews of it on subgenius.com. Her website "Kooks Museum", deleted off teh Interwebs by The C.O.N.S.P.I.R.A.C.Y., is still available via the Internet Archive's Undead Web Services right here, where you can see how it looked in 2008 (and since it went online back around 1994 plus or minus a year, that's over a decade's worth of kookery). In case you don't know who Donna Kossy is, she is the wife of NENSLO, and EVERYBODY knows who HE is (even "Bob").
Regardless, there have been plenty of developments regarding kooks since 1994 not covered in Donna Kossy's book, and the worldwide population of kooks has been growing exponentially, more than doubling every single year since then, with the biggest one-year rise occurring in 2009. Since this exponential growth LONG passed 100% of the human population, now most individuals have levels of kookery double, triple, or quadruple what was once thought possible, although there still exist a few ULTRA-normal humans who are not kooks, but they are more than canceled out by the billions of people with multiple kook personalities. Since SubGenii are not humans, they are not affected by this trend.
While some theorists claim that being a kook is inherently abnormal, those theorists are themselves all Normals and kooks themselves, and any proper SubGenius can tell you that no matter how abnormal some PinKooK SEEMS, they are still Normal because they are merely part of the expanding, widening definition of Normality... a widening definition of what is considered Normal that threatens to engulf us all in bland Normality unless we stop it before it is too late. Furthermore, the ways in which kooks apparently SEEM to rebel against the Conspiracy ALL PLAY DIRECTLY INTO THE CONSPIRACY'S HANDS, whereas the SubGenius who rebels against the Conspiracy does so with Slack... and BEATS THE CONSPIRACY AT THEIR OWN GAME.
Genetic studies have shown that there is a kook gene, and, while it was once quite rare, it is spreading like a virus, because it is spread BY a virus, changing people's DNA to turn them into kooks. These are not superior mutants, however. This virus was genetically engineered by the Conspiracy precisely to turn everyone into conspiracy theorists serving the Conspiracy. Rather than being superior mutants, kooks are simply a bunch of Frankenstein Slave Hangman Rope Parroting Puppets controlled by the Worldwide Mad Deadly Communist Gangster Computer God. The whole point of their existence is to come up with new conspiracy theories, new ideas about devious plots The Conspiracy could implement, and then once they think of those plots they then carry them out firsthand, without even realizing it, because they have been genetically altered so that their brains will refuse to acknowledge the fact that they work for The Conspiracy and will believe they are fighting against The Conspiracy instead, and any ideas or memories which would go against this are automatically MURDERED by the filesystem their brains run on, which is called ReiserFS... the filesystem for murderers.

- sick leave;
- focus groups;
- patient perspective;
- return to work
To better understand processes affecting return to work (RTW) after breast cancer, more knowledge from the perspective of sickness absentees is warranted. Still, research based on women's own reasoning and actions in RTW is very scarce. This study aims to elucidate how women with breast cancer reflect and act on work-related issues.
Material and methods
Thematic analyses of data from four focus group interviews with 23 women who had had breast cancer surgery in the previous 3–13 months were carried out.
The five following themes of reflections regarding RTW were identified: ‘health and functioning’, ‘self-esteem/integrity’, ‘value of work’, ‘relationships at work’, and ‘social circumstances’. These reflections were associated with the three identified themes of actions taken by the women: ‘to work or to be sickness absent’, ‘to adjust work according to own needs or not’, and ‘to disclose or to hide one's cancer’. There was a distinct difference between women who experienced work as a source of well-being and those who needed a respite from work.
This study adds knowledge to the process of RTW after breast cancer and focuses on factors that lead the women to an active role in this process. We point to the interplay between women's own preferences, perceived competence, outer opportunities, and the actions each woman take with regard to RTW, which need to be recognized by all stakeholders involved. Furthermore, it continues to be essential to address the specific issue of disclosure in the workplace because this may be distressing for women. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Many blessings & thanks to Ms. Ana Ortiz and the many People and organizations that came out to support a community garden near Chestnut Hill Apts. We look forward to more expressions of solidarity into the future. This compilation was put together by Overstanding Vision (Ithaca) in homage to the People who attended the build!!
Ms. Ana Ortiz (Chestnutt Hill Apts), Gardens4Humanity, the 350.org Global Initiative and many Ithaca community members came together to organize. The goal was to plant a community permaculture garden in Ithaca as part of 350.org's global work party. The garden will sequester carbon, bring the community together, and empower citizens by helping to increase food security.
The event was the beginning of the creation of a unilateral support for the redistribution of land in the United States. We must be cognoscente of the reality that culture is created through the intimate relationship of cultivation that occur between person and earth :)

Protest art refers to the artistic works created by activists and social movements. It is a traditional means of communication used by a cross-section of collectives and the state to inform and persuade citizens. The slogans of the revolution, movement, or demonstration are written on walls and buildings while the writer is in distress. This usually occurs at night in the cover of darkness. The scribe is not worried about letterform correction or aesthetics, they aim only to express themselves by writing their thoughts on the surface and informing the public. But their action surpasses this; they are creating art. They represent a specific cause or message from furious people that need to be heard. Protest art is an essential technique for increasing social awareness and developing networks. It has long been a powerful platform for conveying ideas to the masses, as it can promote conversation and highlight social, political, and environmental issues.
What a day! We marched throughout the world and the outpouring of homemade messages of solidarity, resistance, love, and strength has been overwhelming. Here are a few of our efforts and some amazing signs we witnessed.

It seems that I am making a habit of taking a while between posts but as of recently I've been so busy (as I keep saying haha) I went to France on Monday with the boys which meant no time for blogging from sunday till Tuesday (preperation and sleeping you know) and Wednesday I was at my internship, so this is the first chance I've had! I've got a few photos from France so I'm gonna do a post on that soon too! Right, lets get down to business.
Up until this outfit, I have never worn camo, it's just a print I've never been intersted. I know it was coming back into fashion so I picked up this skirt for like £5 while I was working at the Motel Rocks sample sale a few weeks back, why not for that price?! I have fallen in love with Motel's version of the prin and also got myself a crop top (naturally) while I was there and so much other stuff! I have filmed a haul which I will be putting up some time soon with photos as well to show you all what I picked up. Also, how cool is this jacket?! It's like a leather jacket style but it's made of chiffon so it's super light for the summer, I love it and will be taking it away with me on holiday for sure. It just goes with everything and it so easy to scrunch up and throw in your bag, they also stock it in pink and lime.

Clinical laboratory science, the study and practice of diagnostic laboratory medicine,
is a dynamic health care profession. Clinical laboratory professionals provide 70%
of the critical objective information for diagnosis, treatment and preventative health
care. These individuals analyze body tissues and fluids using complex instrumentation,
sophisticated techniques and specialized knowledge. http://www.ascls.org/
Clinical laboratory scientists (CLS), also called medical laboratory scientists (MLS)
or medical technologists (MT), work primarily in hospitals, physician's offices and
reference laboratories. They perform many routine and complex tests that help the
physician diagnose and treat the patient. Clinical laboratory professionals seldom
have contact with patients because they work more closely with physicians, researchers
and other health care professionals in disease investigation, consultation, and interpretation
of laboratory results. If you like science, particularly the laboratory, and you want
to be a part of the health care team then the clinical laboratory profession may be
for you. We welcome you to come and visit our facility and gain some first-hand knowledge
of the type of work done in the clinical laboratory.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts a rapid growth in the job market
for clinical laboratory professionals with excellent employment opportunities. The
growth rate for these jobs is projected to be 14% from 2012-2022, with 23,000 new
jobs due to increased demand for clinical laboratory testing. This is in addition
to positions that will be available due to retirement, change of profession, etc.
Due to the shortage of clinical laboratory professionals, graduates from our program
have no problems finding jobs. Most have positions before they graduate. The class
of 2013 had a 100% employment rate. The entry level median annual earnings in 2012
were reported to be $47,820. Pay varies widely depending on geographical area, experience
level and place of employment. http://www.labsarevital.com/; http://laboratorian.advanceweb.com/

The horror of Ireland’s never-ending Troubles assumes human form in this vividly dramatic (if ill-proportioned) third novel
by the versatile Moran (The World I Made for Her, 1998, etc.).
Narrator Una Moss is a young woman growing up in the village of Cobh, not far from Cork, raised there by her roughhewn
"grandda" Rawney after her parents" death in an automobile accident that many (including Rawney) have hinted may have been
a politically motivated murder. As indifferent as she can be to the nearby specter of insurgent Ulster, Una attends college in Cork
as a medical student (her bills paid by her father’s trust fund), hangs about local pubs with her fun-loving, foulmouthed girlfriends
(including sexually forthright Fallon and IRA devotee Collie), and keeps her wits essentially about her—though she wryly calls
herself "fortune’s fool"—until she meets and slowly surrenders herself to Aidan Ferrel, a handsome draughtsman whose gentle
demeanor suggests he may be as apolitical as she is. Una’s affair with Aidan coincides exactly with her stunned experience of
political violence at its cruellest, and her disillusioning discoveries about both her father and grandda. In actuality, the seemingly
perfect Aidan has always been something of a ’shadow man." Hence derives the story’s bitter and rather hurried denouement
(most readers will foresee it early on) in which Aidan proves not to be the man Una had imagined, a recognition that thrusts her
headlong into the context of enmity and terrorism she has tried to distance herself from.
The very real strengths here are Moran’s forceful characterizations of the sentient, credibly intelligent Una and the intriguing,
soft-spoken Aidan. But the story that Moran plunges his characters into is overfamiliar and marred by an ending that rushes Una
to judgment, leaving the sense that there must be even more to her tale than we’ve been told.

Already iconic pop vocalist Sam Smith has now added singing the theme song for latest Bond film, Spectre, to his growing list of career achievements. And, as has been the case with Smith’s breakout performance on 2013’s Latch (and just-released Omen), Disclosure was called in for assistance in producing the track, titled Writing’s On The Wall.
This is one of the highlights of my career. I am honoured to finally announce that I will be singing the next Bond theme song.— Sam Smith (@samsmithworld) September 8, 2015
Disclosure followed up with news of their involvement shortly after.
Regarding the honor that puts him in the same league as other Bond title theme vocalists Carly Simon, Duran Duran, and Adele, Smith stated, “This is one of the highlights of my career. I am so excited to be a part of this iconic British legacy and join an incredible lineup of some of my biggest musical inspirations.” The songwriting process was apparently quite smooth, too, as he told BBC Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw that he “got called into the office with Barbara Broccoli and Sam Mendes, and they gave me the script, I read the script… they said ‘have a go at the song’. It’s the quickest I’ve ever written a song–it took twenty minutes and they loved it! I love the song so much.”
Writing’s On The Wall is expected to be released on Oct. 26.

by Johannes Bronkhorst. Translated from the French by Michael S. Allen and Rajam Raghunathan. Revised and with a new appendix
This book explores the conviction shared by almost all Indian philosophers regarding the close connection between language and reality. It shows that the main currents of Indian philosophy can be understood as answers to a problem that this conviction entailed.
Fifty-five documents in a western-Himalayan language dealing with land, pilgrimage, legality and temple-economy are presented. They explicate how ‘lesser states’ patronized numerous shrines and the role of Nath-Siddha-ascetics in creating consent-to-rule, and constructing hybridity between the ...
Drawing on textual and art historical sources, this book traces the conceptual and iconographic development of the Indian riverine goddess of knowledge Sarasvati from sometime after 1750 B.C.E. to the seventh century C.E.
Stephen C. Berkwitz
This book on vernacular Buddhist histories written in late medieval Sri Lanka demonstrates that narrative representations of the past were designed to effectively constructing new moral communities in translocal spaces.
Edited by Marijke J. Klokke, with an introduction by Jan Fontein
How has ancient India’s incredibly rich literary heritage been visually represented in temples in South and Southeast Asia is the central question of this volume. It discusses theoretical aspects, provides new interpretations, and proposes innovative interpretations through advanced comparative ...
Through a detailed analysis of the available cultural and chronological data, this book overturns traditional ideas about the cultural history of India and proposes a different picture instead. The idea of a unilinear development out of Brahmanism, in particular, is challenged.
Kurt A. Behrendt
Kurt Behrendt in this book for the first time and convincingly offers a description of the development of 2nd century B.C.E. to 8th century C.E. Buddhist sacred centers in ancient Gandhara, today northwest Pakistan.
This pioneering study sheds new light on the development of Buddhist ideas as introduced by the visionary Padmasambhava. It is based on primary source material and highlights the experiential aspects of process-oriented thinking.

The final broadcast of the 2015 Opera in October series features the Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre’s production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. It airs on Saturday, October 31 at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, November 1 at 4:00 p.m.
Mozart’s masterpiece revolves around the womanizing scoundrel Don Giovanni (fashioned after the legendary Don Juan). The performance, under the baton of CROT’s founder and artistic director Daniel Kleinknecht, along with the University of Oklahoma professor and guest director William Ferrara, provides a mixture of comedy and tragedy. The plot follows Don Giovanni as he continues down a path that eventually leads to his own destruction. Baritone Christopher Burchett performs the title role of Don Giovanni, with baritone Lee Poulis as his servant, Leporello. Soprano Veronica Mitina appears as Donna Elvira; soprano Danielle TAlamantes as Donna Anna; soprano Jessica Pray as Zerlina; tenor Jonathan Blalock sings the role of Don Ottavio; and Samuel Wright performs as Masetto.

|2nd solo CD from the lead singer of Christian metal legends Whitecross finds him even mellower than he was the first time he ventured out on his own. His trademark rasp is still in place, but the music is safe enough for your mom to listen to. Frankly, I would rather scrape the gunk off a bum's teeth using only my tongue than listen to his boring piece of drivel again. OK, maybe that's a bit harsh, but you get the point--this is a pretty lame album that will be junked the day after you get it.|

AIB Extends Partnership with FoodCloud
1st March 2021
New research by Amárach to mark AIB extending its partnership with FoodCloud shows that over a third of the public feel they waste more food since Covid-19 restrictions began.
The research, conducted by AIB and social enterprise FoodCloud in February 2021, shows 37% of respondents feel they are wasting more food than before the pandemic even though 8 in 10 people surveyed claim to be taking action to reduce their food waste. Two-thirds of the 1,000 surveyed indicated they had an awareness of the connection between food waste and climate change, with 80% of people in Ireland keen to learn more about how to avoid wasting food.
Nearly 4 in 10 Irish adults are concerned about the amount of food waste in their family, with people in Dublin and Munster most concerned. However, all over Ireland people are deeply aware of climate change with 97% saying they are feeling the effects of climate change on their day to day lives.
According to the UN FAO (United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation), food waste is responsible for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to Project Drawdown, an international research project on mitigating climate change, stopping food waste has been recognised as the number one individual solution to reverse global warming, closely followed by health, education and plant-rich diets. It is through this prism that FoodCloud operates, with a vision for an environmentally-friendly food system that supports food security and resilient communities.
According to Project Drawdown, reducing food waste has been recognised as the single biggest individual solution to reverse the effects of climate change.
To continue tackling the enormous environmental issue of food waste and to support local communities across Ireland, AIB has renewed its partnership with FoodCloud for another three years, investing €1.5 million to support the social enterprise’s ambitious 2021–23 strategy. The renewal comes on the back of a successful three-year partnership, during which 6,300 tonnes of surplus food were redistributed – the equivalent of 15.1 million meals and 20,353 tonnes of CO2-eq avoided.
FoodCloud has been a key partner of the bank’s AIB Together programme since 2018. Over that time the partnership developed a significant volunteer programme with approximately 1,200 AIB employees volunteering at FoodCloud’s hubs for a total of 7,524 volunteer hours. This volunteering involved packing food which then went onto charities, as well as skilled volunteering which involved AIB staff supporting FoodCloud in the areas of social media, technology and finance.
Speaking about the partnership renewal, Mary Whitelaw, Director of Sustainability at AIB said: “As Ireland’s largest financial services provider, we have a responsibility to our customers and country to lead the way in the fight against climate change, ensuring a greener tomorrow by backing those building it today. I’m delighted to announce the renewal of our partnership with FoodCloud which will support them for a further three years, as they continue to expand their footprint across Ireland.
FoodCloud has clearly demonstrated what can be done to practically address environmental and societal issues – protecting the environment while providing food to those who need it most.
This closely aligns to AIB’s own carbon-reduction goals to achieve carbon neutrality in our own operations by 2030 and to increase green and transition lending to 70% of lending to new customers by 2030.”
Iseult Ward, CEO of FoodCloud said: “With the support and security of our three-year partnership with AIB, FoodCloud were positioned and ready to respond to the increased demand for food within communities brought about by the Pandemic.
75% more food was distributed through our three hubs in 2020 compared to 2019.
Having this certainty of support from AIB, meant we were able to take on four new staff in a very short window, which were further supported by AIB volunteers, who have become an integral part of our operations since our partnership began in 2018. AIB’s support over the next three years will further increase FoodCloud’s capacity to redistribute food, boost the expansion of our technology beyond retail to the wider supply chain, and support collaborations with growers to rescue more food at an agricultural level.”

Shares in Ubisoft fell more than 20% today, after the games developer revealed that the delay of two titles would substantially hit revenues and push it into the red.
The Paris-based studio, famous for video games including Prince of Persia and the Tom Clancy series, announced last night that new titles Watch Dogs and The Crew would both be delayed by several months, pushing the release of both into the next financial year.
The world’s third largest independent video game publisher said the delays mean it now expects revenues for the year end April to come in at £884m, rather than the previously forecast £1.22 billion. Ubisoft also said it now expects to make a loss of up to £59.2m in 2013, against earlier estimates of a £105.7m profit.
Chief executive Yves Guillemot said the delay was a “tough” decision but said: “We are building franchises that will become perennial pillars of Ubisoft’s financial performance. In a context of growing successes for mega-blockbusters, the additional time given to the development of our titles will allow them to fulfil their huge ambitions.”
The delay of Watch Dogs is a blow for Sony and Microsoft. The game was a key part of both the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One release line-ups. Sony is now working with Ubisoft to change PS4 release bundles in the UK.Reuse content

Honeybee (Apis mellifera) egg-yolk protein vitellogenin (Vg) plays roles in immunity, antioxidation, and life span beyond reproduction, but it also acts as an allergen Api m 12 in venom. In the present study, the authors established antimicrobial and antioxidant roles of honeybee Vg in the body and venom. Using the cDNA encoding Vg identified from Asiatic honeybee (A. cerana) workers, recombinant A. cerana Vg (AcVg) protein of approximately 180?kDa was produced in baculovirus-infected insect cells. In A. cerana worker bees, AcVg was expressed in the fat body and venom gland and was present in the secreted venom. AcVg induced structural damage in microbial cell walls via binding to microbial surfaces and exhibited antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. AcVg protected mammalian and insect cells against oxidative damage through direct shielding of cell membranes. Interestingly, AcVg exhibited DNA protection activity against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, the transcript level of AcVg was upregulated in the fat body, but not in the venom gland, of worker bees with antimicrobial peptides and antioxidant enzymes in response to microbial infection and oxidative stress. The data indicate that AcVg is involved in innate immunity upon infection and in a defence system against ROS, supporting a crucial role of honeybee Vg as an antimicrobial and antioxidant agent in the body and venom.

O.k. It's been a really long time since I've posted on diaperswappers but this is a safe place to post this. If you do know me on facebook or IRL please do not discuss this info as it's quite private.
This morning I was cleaning and organizing and my shirt felt wet around my left breast. Now my youngest is 18 months and stopped BFing at 7 months (I have terrible supply issues). I've experienced this sensation before and it's normally nothing, but this morning I could express tiny drops of thick creamy looking liquid. and my first thought was ...no I can't be pregnant.
I had some major pain in my uterus back before Christmas and had an ultrasound and blood test that showed nothing but it is very possible that I'm currently 3-4 weeks pregnant. I'm nervous and scared and part of me is trying to find a million other reasons for my body to be doing this. Any positive thoughts and comments would be very much appreciated. I have to say if I was I would be thrilled just a bit surprised.

We’re told via title card at the beginning of Backyard Dogs that by the year 2000, there were more than 18,000 backyard wrestling federations. What they don’t tell you is that there were double that amount of nu metal bands and they’re all on this soundtrack. Step into a transitional time period of baggy awkwardness that was the late 90’s and early 2000’s and witness a generation that spawned from the Attitude Era.
Sting: Moment of Truth (2004)
Hopefully, the recently released WWE DVD The Best of Sting gives Steve Borden the career retrospective he deserves because this movie certainly didn’t. At least they didn’t accidentally use footage of nWo Sting thinking it was the real Sting. C’mon WWE, get your shit together. Although I’m sure the new DVD doesn’t beat you over the head with strong Christian overtones like you were Mankind at the 1999 Royal Rumble. Surprisingly, under the list of producers Pat Robertson isn’t mentioned at all. Makes sense though. If this film had some of that sweet 700 Club money it wouldn’t have looked like some film school kid’s thesis project.

After his wife’s brutal murder in New York, and Gage himself is beaten nearly to death, the crippled private investigator retreats three thousand miles to the quaint coastal town of Barnacle Bluffs, Oregon. He spends the next five years in a convalescent stupor, content to bide his time filling out crossword puzzles and trying to forget that his wife’s death is his fault. But all that changes when he discovers the body of a young woman washed up on the beach, and his conscience draws him back into his old occupation – forcing him to confront the demons of his own guilt before he can hope to solve the girl’s murder.

Calypso, Queen of the Seas, is mad. Spitting mad. Ghosts of the dead are fouling her waters. She wants this problem fixed, and she wants it fixed now. Rushing off in search of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, to demand answers, she’s soon shocked to discover him bound and standing trial before a jury of his peers—for nothing less than murder. Calypso normally despises the beastly gods, all of them, but there’s something about seeing Hades bound as he is that gives her an evilly clever idea. Tired of being a virgin queen, she wishes to shed that boring image once and for all, and no one seems quite as fit for the task as the gorgeous and brooding Hades. Of course, there is the minor problem of murder to deal with, but Calypso is bound and determined to have her way.

Women’s Fiction, 4.3 stars, 236 reviews
Ex-cop Ryan O’Hare takes one look at buttoned-up control freak Liz Garner and just itches to loosen the woman up. Not that he’s into her. Because a woman like that comes with way too many expectations. Not to mention, she practically works for him, and he didn’t hire Liz to watch after his beloved Harley-stealing Gran so he could turn Liz loose in his bed. Still, there’s something about her, a hidden wild side, that makes him wonder what it would take. Liz must be crazy to work for the insensitive, arrogant, horribly…hot man she’s avoided for years. Unfortunately, she needs the money and Ryan’s grandmother needs a keeper. (Midnight tango lessons and ziplines with Gran, anyone?) Ryan’s rare smile and swaggering confidence have Liz torn between throwing her favorite pinot grigio at his head or throwing herself at him. Can this control freak find a way to let loose with the tough, no-strings guy who once broke her heart?

Vienna Festival Ballet brings romantic tale Giselle to Margate next month.
Giselle is a tale of innocence, love, betrayal and madness. With music by 19th century composer Adolphe Adam and choreography by the late Nicholas Beriosoff, VFB’s traditional staging of this 1841 masterpiece moves from the sunny optimism of Giselle’s idyllic village life to an ethereal world of mystery and menace.
The demanding role of Giselle will be danced by the talented Rachel Victoria Hernon. Originally from Greater Manchester, Rachel trained in Russia and danced soloist roles with the Romanian National Ballet. She returned home early this year and joined Vienna Festival Ballet in February.
Giselle will be performed at Margate Winter Gardens on Sunday, June 23 at 5pm (doors open 4.15pm).

High school goes by pretty fast, but even executives at Universal Pictures couldn’t remember their own teen glory days when distributing “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”
The 1982 classic film celebrated its 40th anniversary on August 13. And while the movie, helmed by Amy Heckerling and penned by Cameron Crowe, launched the careers of Jennifer Jason Leigh, Forest Whitaker, Sean Penn, and Nicolas Cage, among its star-studded ensemble cast, actor Judge Reinhold alleged Universal was wary to even release it in the first place.
“We were really heartsick because somebody high up said, ‘This is pornography, and there’s no way that Universal’s going to release this movie,'” Reinhold told The Hollywood Reporter. “We didn’t see it as this horny high school movie at all. We saw it as having the opportunity to do something authentic that was based on the actual experiences of the kids that Cameron chronicled for that whole year.”
The screenplay was based on Crowe’s 1981 book, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story,” about his experience going undercover as a high school student for one year.
Director Heckerling added about Universal’s distribution plan, “They were going to put it on the shelf because they didn’t see how it would make any money. They decided they would just open it in a few theaters on the West Coast, and they did that, and people kept coming back and knew all the dialogue. So then they quickly put it out in the rest of the country. There was no advertising beforehand — I was bummed out.”
With an overnight success, “Fast Times” grossed over $27 million at the domestic box office, akin to $83 million today. And Heckerling emphasized that the film is timeless in its messages of sexual exploration, consent, and body autonomy, plus all the hormones, heartbreak, and lust in between.
“The whole theme, of even the title, is things are going too fast for young people,” Heckerling explained, citing Universal’s obvious confusion. “They shouldn’t have to worry so much about sex at such an early age.”
One of the few Hollywood films to openly discuss and then show an abortion, “Fast Times” marked a revolutionary turning point in film. Now, Heckerling added, “We’re going backwards in so many ways.”

- Styleper, a fashion subscription box, has launched a collection of bridesmaid proposal products, which can be bought separately, or bought in sets.
- It came about after there were many requests from customers who wanted to buy personalised fashion boxes for their bridesmaids.
Proposals have become a big deal here, whether you’re going down on one knee with a ring in your hand, or if you’ve brought a group of your closest friends and families to trade pantuns with the parents of your intended.
But this past couple of years, we’ve seen the rise of a different kind of proposal—bridesmaid proposals.
An entire sub-industry has developed around this trend even in Malaysia, with everything from blogshops to e-commerce sites fighting to offer their own cute gifts for brides to surprise their besties with.
Options range from individual gifts that these shops will say are perfect to add into your proposal gift baskets, or those e-shops that simply sell pre-designed boxes for the bride that will already have a lot on their plates.
That is exactly the bandwagon local e-shop player Styleper has hitched itself to.
With a launch of their new collection last week, Styleper has released a series of bridesmaid-proposal gifts—gold-foiled proposal cards, t-shirts, whiskey glasses, flower crowns, and a pair of paper glasses with “Team Bride” emblazoned on top.
“It was a natural expansion of Styleper,” said founder Shu Wei.
“While we were selling our surprise fashion boxes, we had many customers who purchased our boxes as gifts to their friends. At the same time, we also had requests from customers who were getting married to do personalised fashion boxes for their bridesmaids.”
Shu Wei thinks that it’s become crucial in the planning of a wedding.
“We understand that planning a wedding can be a huge headache, hence, we want to take away a part of the stress by making every bride’s bridesmaid proposal a perfect and fuss-free one.”
Normally, Styleper’s bread and butter is the surprise fashion box, a monthly delivery of curated products based on a style profile of your choice.
Since we last wrote about them though, Styeleper has also launched a more “transparent” e-shop that is more traditional than the surprise boxes, selling accessories to complement the Styleper fashion boxes.
Along the same vein, brides can choose to select their products individually, or as a part of a boxed set.
In fact, Shu Wei said that the offer of the gold foil cards on their website was designed for brides who simply want to pair it with any of their style boxes or fashion accessories for their proposals.
But even if brides choose to pair any of their Styleper bridesmaid proposal with a different gift, the unifying factor between Styleper’s usual subscription boxes and bridesmaid proposals is the element of surprise. It’s a little bit of an odd couple, but the perfect match don’t have to be perfectly identical. They just have to be complementary.
“The element of surprise is what really makes the whole experience so memorable to both the bride and bridesmaids.”
Thriftier brides might balk at the price of RM150 to RM185 per box, but if their goal is to reduce stress and time spent, this is one way to go.
We’ve said time and time again that subscription boxes are risky business here, so it is interesting that Styleper has just joined the wedding industry that is said to be a recession-proof luxury. It’s also worth a hefty RM7 billion a year.
No matter where we are in the economy, there will be a large section of the population that is hosting a luxurious wedding, and this is an interesting move by Styleper to supplement their other ventures.
- Styleper’s new collection can be found here.

Copper Mill is a neighborhood located in Durham, North Carolina.
Several studies have definitively shown that Copper Mill has a crime rate that's notably below the state average - the police here do a great job and always have their eye on residential areas.
Copper Mill has a lot of homes occupied by tenants, the result of this being that the neighbors change pretty frequently. There are a great deal of young occupants here, making it a perfect place for young professionals to fit in.
You'll be able to put your kitchen through its paces if you select one of Copper Mill's homes featuring granite kitchens that are timeless and resist daily wear and tear. Due to the fact that quite a few residential properties in this neighborhood have pools, neighbors often spend their time relaxing outdoors.

Battlefords residents wanting to learn more about fitness, health and fall prevention were able to gather plenty of information at Frontier Centre mall in North Battleford Saturday, during the first local community health fair.
The Fall Prevention Community Health Fair, organized by Prairie North Health Region, also included a flu vaccination clinic and blood pressure clinic.
Darcy McIntyre, Prairie North Health Region regional falls and injury prevention coordinator, said because November is National Fall Prevention Month, the local health region decided to hold the fair with the theme 'Stand Tall This Fall.'
"It's geared towards older adults," McIntyre said. "They can get a lot of tips on fall prevention.”
A number of organizations participated in the fair including Sage Seniors’ Resources of Saskatoon, and Battlefords Hearing Centers Inc. There was also information available about nutrition, exercise, and home care services, as well as fall prevention tips and home safety ideas.
"It's making sure in winter that you're taking care of yourself, making sure you have proper footwear and taking it slow out there. Don't rush," McIntyre said. "There are over 400 different risk factors for falling."
McIntyre said older people with chronic diseases such as diabetes also have an increased risk of falls, adding low blood-sugar could increase the risk further.
Cut Knife resident Ralph Thomas had his blood pressure taken while visiting the fair.
"I'm always interested in exercise, so I stopped in and got a little information," he said.
As a senior, Thomas said the topic of falls prevention is important. He said he's known many people who have fallen, and finds it concerning.
"As you get a little older you start to think about these things a little more,” he said.
Thomas said he appreciated having the health fair in the mall where it's easy to access, and said it was helpful not only for older people, but for people of all ages to attend as it covered such a range of topics.
An independent distributor for Urban Poling, Kimberly Willison, based in Saskatoon, showed visitors the popular exercise nordic poling.
Willison said when people walk normally they are only working 40 per cent of their muscles, while when they walk with poles they are working 90 per cent.
"You're using poles to improve your posture and your strength when you are walking," Willison said. "They are great if you need them for stability or balance. They are great for improving your upper body strength."

|Last minute bowling = last minute sock purchase|
|Birthday bowling selfie with the hubs|
|It's so shiny!|
I haven't re-threaded it yet and have just been using the thread it came loaded with from the factory (cause I really wanted to just use it and I'm impatient like that) so I'll get back to you on how that goes, but everything else is great. I've been using it to try some new things, including the blind hem on my daughter's Easter dress and I used it to gather the skirt as well. It also has this awesome gathering foot that gathers AND attaches at the same time, which I used for the chambray dress I also talked about in my previous post.
I've still got to play around to figure out what settings to use for different ruffle ratios, but holy time saver, batman! I really want to take a class now on serging to see what else this puppy can do.
Just when I thought my birthday couldn't get any better, the Saturday after my birthday my husband insisted on taking me out to a local craft fair. We had a fun morning, but when we got home there were about 20 cars in our yard...turns out my husband also threw me a surprise party! He did such an amazing job, he got family, my best friends, friends from my mom's group, friends from his work and friends from church, pretty much all my favorite people, ALL to come. I walked in and immediately started crying (and I'm actually tearing up just writing about it). Seriously, I could not have asked for a better group of people to call my friends and family, and to have them all there meant the world to me. To top it all off, he booked us a CRUISE! I've only been on one cruise before and it was with my besties right after college graduation. I've been telling him for years now that one day I want to go on another-so it's finally happening! We go the last week of April and I can't wait.
So far 30 is pretty awesome...I told my husband he did too much in one year and he's going to have a hard time EVER topping it! I'm so very thankful for all the wonderful friends and family I have, especially the hubs who thought of everything to make my birthday perfect :)

New Tech assistant relishes return to field
Kevin Cosgrove, to an outsider’s point of view, seemed to have a sweet assignment last season with a role on a national champion college football team. Cosgrove served as lead defensive analyst for undefeated LSU, but analysts are limited to off-field duties such as breaking down video and helping with game plans.
Texas Tech offered the veteran assistant a chance to roll up his sleeves and get back onto the field; thus, his hiring last week to coach the Red Raiders’ linebackers.
“I’ve coached a position my whole career, so it was a different type situation last year,” Cosgrove said Wednesday, meeting with Lubbock media for the first time. “Still being involved was special, but it’s good to be back on the field coaching a position.”
The 64-year-old Chicago native coached against the Red Raiders in years past on staffs at Nebraska and New Mexico, including a 2004 game in which Tech beat Nebraska 70-10 at Jones AT&T Stadium.
“I’m excited about this opportunity,” he said. “I’ve always had a lot of respect for Texas Tech and the enthusiasm and the fan support that they have. I know playing here was always tough, and I look forward to being a part of this.”
Cosgrove has coached against and recruited against Tech coach Matt Wells in the past and knew some of the Red Raiders’ assistants, but never had worked with any. However, he was intrigued enough when he saw the position opening to have colleagues put out feelers to Tech.
Cosgrove’s four-decade resume in coaching is most notable for his long tenure at Wisconsin, from 1990 through 2003, the last nine of those seasons as defensive coordinator. He was a charter member of Barry Alvarez’s staff, which turned around a program that had won four games in three years.
During Cosgrove’s time in Madison, the Badgers racked up seven bowl victories, including three in the Rose Bowl.
He said he left only in an attempt to climb the career leader, wanting to flesh out his resume and improve his chances of becoming a head coach. Since leaving Wisconsin, he’s coached at Nebraska, Minnesota, Akron, New Mexico and LSU, serving as defensive coordinator or co-DC at all except LSU.
He said he doesn’t regret leaving Wisconsin, “because certain positive things happen from everything,” but he remains indebted to Alvarez.
“We became very close,” Cosgrove said. “He was a tremendous mentor for me in this profession. I could have stayed with him forever, and being young and wanting to be a head football coach, I thought I needed to expand my horizons a little bit.
“Unfortunately, the best I ever got closest to that was interviews for jobs.”
Cosgrove’s 14 years at Wisconsin and last year at LSU have given him insight into how some of the biggest winning programs pull it off.
“It starts with a really good staff,” he said, “that builds relationships with players and the trust so you can coach them hard. We were very demanding.
“The type of player that we recruited was smart, tough and dependable. We didn’t always have the best talent, but we liked to think our kids were fundamentally sounder than everybody and tougher than everybody and understand what we were doing better than everybody so we could have success. Any program, I think it starts there.”
Wisconsin under Alvarez and LSU under Ed Orgeron, Cosgrove said, have some of those traits in common.
“As tough as these guys are, Ed, Barry, the players love them,” Cosgrove said. “They play hard for them. That’s what we’ve got to accomplish here, and I know coach Wells wants to do that.”


One in five cars has more than 100,000 miles on the clock, says DVSA
Britain’s drivers are taking a “mend and make-do approach” to car ownership with a fifth of vehicles having more than 100,000 miles on the clock, according to new analysis.
Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency figures show 9.1 million vehicles on Britain’s roads have reached six figures on their odometers.
That represents 23% of the 40.3 million vehicles registered.
Co-op Insurance, which obtained the data, also said the average age of cars it insures has risen over the past four years.
Some 10% of all policies in 2018 were for cars up to two years old, but the figure was just 4% during the first three months of this year.
At the other end of the scale, the proportion of insured cars between six and 10 years old has increased from seven out of 10 to eight out of 10 over the same period.
Co-op Insurance said recent surges in the cost of living and fuel mean it is “of little surprise” that more motorists are opting to keep their existing car on the road rather than splash out on a new model.
The firm’s head of motor insurance, Paul Evans, commented: “It looks like Brits are taking a mend and make-do approach to car ownership as the cost of living and running a car continues to rocket.
“Whilst we know that parts, availability issues and the pandemic, amongst other factors, have hit the new car market badly, many people just aren’t in a position to splash unnecessary cash on a brand new vehicle.
“Instead, it makes more financial sense to keep their existing car going for as long as possible, or to buy a used car.”
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said the number of used cars bought in the UK during the first quarter of 2022 increased by 5.1% compared with the same period in 2021.
Prices have hit record levels in recent months.
Cars with more than 100,000 miles on the clock suffer “a lot of wear and tear” so it is “essential” they receive regular servicing and maintenance to avoid them developing problems which are expensive to fix, Mr Evans said.
He added: “With the right care there’s no reason as to why such cars can’t be relied upon for many more miles.
“And with the value of second-hand vehicles shooting up, there’s a real incentive for owners to look after them.”
