Known as "Virginia's Outer Banks," secluded Sandbridge Beach remains a mystery to many people. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions - and answers - about this serene coastal haven.
Is Sandbridge Beach part of Virginia Beach?
Technically the answer is "yes." But that's misleading. Sandbridge is a little more than 15 miles south of the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. That means it's nearly a half-hour drive from all the traffic, crowds, and noise. No wonder it seems like an enchanted world apart!
Is Sandbridge Beach part of the mainland?
Yes. But, again, that's a bit misleading. Sandbridge juts out from the rest of the coast, forming a narrow spit of land between two bodies of water: the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Back Bay to the west.
It's not an island. It just feels like one.
How do you get to Sandbridge Beach?
The only public entrance into Sandbridge is via Sandbridge Road, a two-lane road running south and east from Virginia Beach's Princess Anne area.
Are there hotels at Sandbridge Beach?
No. But there are accommodations - comfortable houses and condos you can rent for a week or a weekend. These private rentals offer luxury amenities you won't find at a typical hotel - everything from game rooms and theater rooms to indoor hot tubs and fully stocked kitchens.
Many rentals are right on the ocean, just steps from the white-sand beach. And even those that sit farther back - say, in the 3rd or 4th row - give you convenient beach access via public pathways.
What watersports are popular at Sandbridge Beach?
Almost anything you can think of! Swimming, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, jet-skiing, sailing, boating, parasailing, you name it.
Back Bay's calm, shallow waters are especially good for kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and SUP (stand-up paddleboarding).
Can you fish at Sandbridge Beach?
Yes. In fact, many locals and visitors consider it an angler's paradise.
If you're surf fishing, you'll need a Virginia Saltwater License. For fishing in fresh and/or brackish waters - for instance, Back Bay and its tributary creeks - you'll need a Virginia Freshwater License.
If you like, you can obtain a combo freshwater/saltwater license. Plus, you can get 1-day, 5-day, and 10-day licenses, as well as a special license for tidal boat sport fishing. Fees vary depending on whether you're a Virginia resident or nonresident, but overall they're quite reasonable.
You can purchase your license online, by phone, or in person at numerous places throughout Virginia, including marinas, bait-and-tackle shops, sporting goods stores, supermarkets, and even Walmart super-stores.
Is there any Sandbridge fishing spot where you don't need a license?
Yes. Little Island Pier at Little Island District Park lets you fish all day - or all week - for a modest charge. Stretching 400 feet out into the ocean, this popular pier is the perfect place to cast your line for Atlantic sport fish like mackerel, croaker, drum, and flounder.
Best of all, the pier has its own blanket fishing license, so you won't need one of your own.
Are dogs allowed on the beach?
Yes, at certain times. During the season - Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend - you can take your pooch out for a beachfront romp before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Off-season - winter and early spring - your pup is welcome on the beach anytime.
All year-round, though, leash laws are in effect, so be sure to keep Fido safely leashed whenever you're strolling by the shore.
And, before all else, make sure your Sandbridge vacation rental permits pets. Many do, but some don't. You'll want to specify "pet-friendly" when you make your reservation.
Can you build a bonfire on Sandbridge Beach?
No. Bonfires and fireworks are strictly forbidden. But there are plenty of perfectly legal ways to have a blast on the beach, so we don't think you'll miss the (illegal) pyrotechnics.
Can you drive on the beach?
Short answer: No. No cars, trucks, SUVs, all-terrain vehicles, or motorcycles are allowed on the beach itself per city ordinance.
Are there lifeguards at the beach?
From Memorial Day through Labor Day, between 9:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily, lifeguards are on duty at two Sandbridge Beach locations: across from Sandbridge Market and at Little Island District Park.
At regular times throughout the day, lifeguards also drive dune buggies to patrol the rest of the beach.
Are there hiking and cycling trails near Sandbridge Beach?
We're glad you asked! Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge (4005 Sandpiper Road) offers more than eight miles of gorgeous trails through a wide range of coastal habitats, from sand dunes to marshland to maritime forest. Depending on the time of year, you can spot all sorts of colorful wildlife - including migratory waterfowl like geese, ducks, and tundra swans.
Are there nice restaurants at Sandbridge Beach?
You bet! Whether you prefer casual noshing or classic fine dining, you'll find something here to tickle your taste buds. Several restaurants are situated right on Back Bay, so you can savor spectacular sunsets along with your scrumptious meal.
Have any more questions?
Ask us anytime. We're always here to help... and ready to book your Sandbridge Beach reservation.

3D PE P38 Lightning
The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American fighter aircraft built by Lockheed. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese, the P-38 was used in a number of roles, including dive bombing, level bombing, ground-attack, photo reconnaissance missions, and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings. We crated a Live Wallpaper in 3D cube and added Lighting and Particle effects.

UNC Asheville Launches Writers on the Line Series; Inaugural Event Features Talks by Acclaimed Jewish Authors Adina Hoffman and Peter Cole
Mon, 01/26/2009 - 12:00am
UNC Asheville will launch its new Writers on the Line series in February with talks by acclaimed Jewish authors Adina Hoffman and Peter Cole. The ongoing series will feature readings, workshops and programs by noted writers and artists. Hoffman will speak on February 8, followed by Cole on February 9. Both events are free and open to the public.
Hoffman will discuss "My Happiness Bears No Relation to Happiness: A Poet's Life in the Palestinian Century" at 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 8, at UNC Asheville's Laurel Forum, Karpen Hall. The talk will be based on Hoffman's forthcoming book of the same title, which tells the life story of poet Taha Muhammad Ali. Arabic scholar Michael Sells has called text "among the five 'must read' books on the Israel-Palestine tragedy." Hoffman is also the author of "House of Windows: Portraits from a Jerusalem Neighborhood." Her essays and criticism have appeared in the Nation, Washington Post, Times Literary Supplement and on the BBC.
Cole will give a reading from and discuss his recent work at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9, at UNC Asheville's Laurel Forum, Karpen Hall. The recipient of a 2007 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, Cole has published three books of poetry, "Rift," "Hymns & Qualms" and "Things on Which I've Stumbled." In addition, Cole is a prize-winning translator of the Hebrew Golden Age poets. His new book "The Dream of the Poem" is the most comprehensive gathering of medieval Hebrew poems ever assembled in English. It has been hailed as one of the "the finest labors of poetic translation…seen in many years."
In 1998, Hoffman and Cole founded Ibis Editions in Jerusalem. This small press and non-profit organization publishes Levant-related books of poetry and belletristic prose. The press focuses on translations from Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, French and other languages of the region. Ibis Editions publishes new works along with overlooked writing from the past.
Hoffman and Cole's talks are co-sponsored by UNC Asheville's Center for Jewish Studies, the Belk Distinguished Professorship, UNC Asheville Hillel and the University's student chapter of Amnesty International.

A look at director couples in the film industry,who have created magic on the big screen together as well as individually.
Kiran Rao-Aamir Khan
She was an assistant director on the sets of Lagaan. He was the lead actor. Long after the film was released,they continued to be friends. Soon after Khan divorced his wife,he began dating Rao. They married in December,2005. Khan made his directorial debut with Taare Zameen Par and Rao with Dhobi Ghat. This couple,known for their refined sense of cinema,have also produced movies such as Delhi Belly and Peepli (Live) together. Even Khans television debut,Satyamev Jayate,was in partnership with Rao,who played a key role in the research. With a new entrant in the family,their son Azad,Rao has taken a break from filmmaking.
Deepa Bhatia-Amole Gupte
She is among the most competent editors in the industry and he is an established writer-director of films such as Taare Zameen Par and Stanley Ka Dabba. Bhatia and Gupta share a passion for socially relevant films and they also make documentaries on social issues. One such project,also Bhatias directorial debut,Neros Guests,is an award-winning documentary. Their son Partho recently won awards for his role in Stanley Ka Dabba.
Gauri Shinde-R Balki
Hindi cinemas latest power couple,Gauri Shinde and R Balki have proved that Hindi films need not be OTT to be commercially and critically successful. While his wife of five years chose to give up her career in the advertising industry,Balki continues to head a leading advertising agency. Having directed Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum and Paa,Balki is a sought-after filmmaker. This,in turn,made Shindes directorial debut a challenge. A week after the release of English Vinglish,however,she is credited with aiding Sridevis comeback in Hindi films.
Farah Khan-Shirish Kunder
A successful choreographer and a director of blockbusters such as Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om,Khan enjoys the reputation of being a spunky and gutsy woman director of larger-than-life cinema. The efforts at filmmaking by her editor husband,who is eight years her junior,on the other hand,has not enjoyed similar success. Both Jaan-E-Mann and his recent film,Joker,gained neither critical acclaim nor box office success,despite the star power they packed in. The couple have triplets daughters Anya and Diva and son Czar.
Barnali Ray-Saurabh Shukla
Both of them started their careers together with Satya. Shukla established himself as an actor whereas Ray restricted herself to writing. He took to direction in 2003 with Mudda,a thriller,while Rays first film,Kucch Luv Jaisaa,was made in 2011. Neither of them have been successful as directors. Shuklas other directorial ventures,I Am 24 and Raat Gayi,Baat Gayi? among others failed at the box-office. Today,Ray makes short films while Shukla has made a stage comeback.

Men’s Health Forum has called for local action to tackle almost 10 year average gap in men’s life expectancy across every single local authority in England and Wales.
The Forum has published new analysis showing an average 9.5 year gap between the census wards with highest and lowest life expectancy across every local authority in England and Wales.
- The biggest gap across England & Wales is between Warfield Harvest Ride census ward in Bracknell Forest which has a male life expectancy of 90 and Bloomfield ward in Blackpool which has a male life expectancy of 68 – a total of 22 years.
- The biggest gap in a local authority was in Wrexham, Wales, which showed a 17-year gap in men’s life expectancy between the ‘Marford and Hoseley’ census ward and ‘Gwersyllt West’ census ward.
- The biggest gap in a local authority in England was in North Somerset, which showed a 16-year gap in men’s life expectancy between the Gordano ward and Weston-super-Mare Central.
- In London, the biggest gap was in Westminster with a 14 year male life-expectancy gap between Knightsbridge & Belgravia ward and Westbourne ward.
How does your local authority do? The figures for every region and local authority in England and Wales are here.
Chief Executive of the Men’s Health Forum, Martin Tod, said:
'Although men on average don’t live as long as women, the gap in life expectancy between men in the richest and poorest areas is much, much bigger than the gap between men and women.
Men face a bigger life expectancy gap than women. That’s one reason why, shockingly, one UK man in five in the UK still doesn’t live until 65. There’s a big difference in deaths from suicide, heart disease, diabetes and cancer – not just between men and women, but also between men in different areas.
We can’t afford any complacency: we want the government to ensure that there is targeted support where the need is greatest.
This year Men’s Health Week is focused on ‘men’s health by numbers’. We want every man to know where they are on weight, waist, blood pressure, alcohol, diet and exercise.
But we want the government to ensure that there’s a Men's Health Action Plan for every area which targets men with the poorest health so that they get the extra support they need.
This needs to include extra support for mental health and suicide prevention, targeted NHS health checks to help tackle the terrible rates of heart disease and better tailored programmes designed to reach men in the greatest need and help them improve their health.

Raise your hand if you have a wireless router at home. Yeah, I thought so. As a follow-up to a comparison of budget 802.11n routers published earlier this year, Maximum PC has rounded up seven high-end routers from an assortment of manufacturers. Each router's wireless performance was tested in six different household locations, including an enclosed patio and outdoors at a distance of 85 feet.
The differences in throughput between the routers are quite striking, particularly in the outdoor test, in which two of the routers failed to connect at all. Of the seven models in the spotlight, Netgear's RangeMax V1 scored the highest on the strength of its excellent performance and reasonable price. In somewhat of a surprise, Asus' RT-N16 came in second place. Meanwhile, Linksys' E3000 was deemed the worst of the bunch. Given that router's relatively low throughput, it's easy to see why.

Every since I heard curcumin may help one avoid Alzheimers having experienced the heart wrenching effects of this personally with my father, I take a daily curcumin supplement. I have read many great claims to it’s amazing and varied health benefits. However, I just discovered information on the other side of the coin and wanted to help others be at least aware of these possible issues.
Turmeric is the spice made from the root of the turmeric plant. It contains several active compounds, one of which is curcumin. It is the curcumin that has been shown to have the most health benefits. It is important to note that generally less than 5% of the turmeric we use in cooking is curcumin. While adding turmeric to your food is generally good for you, the amount may be too small to have any medicinal qualities. This is why many people have turned to curcumin supplements for the desired health benefits.
The supplement enthusiasts (myself included here) may be a little overzealous and a little short on caution in spreading the good news about the latest great supplement. The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database and KSU Research lists medicinal curcumin as being:
Likely Safe …when used in amounts commonly found in foods. Turmeric has Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the US.
Possibly Safe …when used orally or topically in medicinal amounts.
Pregnancy: Likely Unsafe …when used orally in medicinal amounts; turmeric might stimulate menstrual flow and the uterus.
And the research goes on to say that “Concomitant use of turmeric with herbs that might affect platelet aggregation could theoretically increase the risk of bleeding in some people”. Anyone using the following herbs should use caution when adding curcumin supplements: angelica, clove, danshen, garlic, ginger, ginkgo, Panax ginseng, red clover, and willow.
Also those taking aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), and warfarin (Coumadin) should exercise caution since turmeric with these drugs might increase the risk of bleeding due to decreased platelet aggregation. Turmeric has been reported to have antiplatelet effects.
The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center warns that turmeric may interfere with chemotherapy treatments and states that people with gastrointestinal disorders, gallstones or bile-duct issues should not take turmeric. Turmeric should not be taken by pregnant women since it can induce menstruation and abortion (Drugs.com).
The NIH goes on to add possible interactions with blood pressure or diabetes medications, anti-inflammatory drugs and cholesterol regulators. Consult your doctor before starting any supplement regimen.
Here are some other names for curcumin that you may not recognize: Curcumae Longa, Curcumae Longae Rhizoma, Curcumin, Curcuminoid, Curcuminoids, Halada, Haldi, Haridra, Indian Saffron, Nisha, Pian Jiang Huang, Radix Curcumae, Rajani, Rhizoma Cucurmae Longae.
Now the question we must ask ourselves are these sources simply trying to steer us away from a natural and effective solution that won’t make the big drug companies any money, or are these legitimate concerns? I believe we need to at least be aware of these possible contraindications especially in the case of pregnant women knowing not to take it. So please pass this on! Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one, so comments below are encouraged.

Pennsylvania's Marcellus and other shale deposits produced more than 2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in 2012, continuing a trend of production growth despite fewer drilling rigs in the field.
New production data reported by natural gas drilling companies and released by the state Department of Environmental Protection on Tuesday showed that 1.1 trillion cubic feet of gas flowed from unconventional wells in the state during the second half of 2012.
The wells produced an average of 6.2 billion cubic feet of gas per day between July and December, or enough to fulfill about 9 percent of the nation's daily natural gas demand. The U.S. consumed about 70 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in 2012, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The state's shale gas production doubled between 2011 and 2012, even as the number of rigs drilling new wells in Pennsylvania dropped in response to lower gas prices and companies migrating to more lucrative deposits in other states. The annual average number of drilling rigs operating in Pennsylvania declined from 110 in 2011 to 84 in 2012, according to oil field services company Baker Hughes.
In reports released last week and in January, the EIA said it expects that Marcellus Shale production will continue to grow despite relatively low natural gas prices as drilled wells are tied to an expanding network of pipelines. It also suggested that increased rig efficiency will maintain production levels, even as the number of active rigs has declined.
Energy analysts say Marcellus production is still constrained by limited pipeline infrastructure, especially in the northeast corner of the state.
Northeast Pennsylvania wells dominated the biannual production report, as they had in past reporting periods. All but three of the top 25 wells were in Susquehanna or Wyoming counties.
Bradford County remained the top-producing county in the state with 285 billion cubic feet of gas coming from 609 wells.

Depression Linked to Heart Disease in Blacks
New research suggests that symptoms of depression lead to a greater risk of heart disease in older black adults, but not in white adults.
Investigators from the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research analyzed 18 years of data from a longitudinal, biennial survey of a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults ages 50 and older.
The study, appears online in the journal Research in Cardiovascular Medicine.
The researchers analyzed a sample of 7,444 black and white survey respondents first interviewed in 1994, when they were between 53 and 63 years old.
The participants reported whether they had symptoms of depression, including loneliness and restless sleep. They also were asked whether they had had a heart attack, or had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, angina, congestive heart failure, or other heart problems.
By the end of the 18-year survey period, researchers found the risk of heart disease in individuals with elevated symptoms of depression was nearly 30 percent higher in black adults than in white adults.
Increased symptoms of depression at the beginning of the survey were a strong predictor of subsequent heart disease among black participants, specifically.
This remained true even when controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors such as obesity, smoking and drinking, and other medical conditions.
“These findings suggest that efforts to improve detection and treatment of depression in African-Americans may have the added of value of reducing their risk of heart disease,” said co-author Dr. Amanda Sonnega.
“Efforts such as these are needed to begin to address significant racial health disparities in the United States.”
The study authors noted that black adults are less likely to receive treatment for depression than their white counterparts, which may explain the impact on heart disease risk.
“The differences in vulnerabilities to the effects of depression on cardiovascular conditions are rules rather than exceptions, as they hold regardless of the predictor and the outcome,” said co-author Dr. Shervin Assari.
“As race affects every aspect of Americans’ lives, and life circumstances vastly differ for whites and blacks, the mechanisms by which psychosocial factors influence our health and illness are consistently shaped by who we are and our rank in society.”

Homegrown Chinese supercomputer claims world number one ranking
A supercomputer equipped with 10,649,600 computing cores and capable of carrying out some 93 quadrillion calculations per second has just been crowned the world's most powerful supercomputer. Dubbed Sunway TaihuLight, this computing behemoth from China outperforms its nearest rival – another Chinese supercomputer – by being twice as fast and three times as efficient.
Wiping the floor with its rival supercomputer, Tianhe-2, which can "only" perform 33.86 quadrillion calculations per second, the new machine was designed and created by the Chinese National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering & Technology and brought on line at the National Supercomputing Center, Wuxi, in east China's Jiangsu province.
Using a Chinese-developed computer core chip just 25 cm2 (3.8 in2) in size, the new computer achieved a Rmax rating on the LPACK (Linear PACKage of algebra routines – the benchmark against which supercomputers are measured) of 93,014,594 megaflops. That is, around 93 petaflops or 93 quadrillion floating-point operations per second. By comparison, the commercially-available Nvidia DGX-1 "Supercomputer in a box" has a rated performance of 170 teraflops or just 0.17 of a petaflop.
Whilst the Sunway TaihuLight may need some 15.37 MW to calculate at its top speed, this power usage is said to be very low for a supercomputer and is, in fact, one of the most energy-efficient gigaflop per Watt ratings of any of its many rivals. And there are a good many of those that use a lot more power than the Sunway, but can't even approach it for processing speed. The Riken K-computer, for example, uses about 12.6 MW to produce just over a tenth of the processing speed of the Chinese machine, at some 10.5 petaflops.
Topping the list of 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers announced at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) in Frankfurt, Germany, the Sunway TaihuLight is just one of 167 other supercomputers in China (one more than the US possesses), which has quickly become a world-leader in supercomputer processing speeds. An American computer does come in third place, however, with the DCOE/SC/Oak Ridge Laboratory XK7 Kray, at 17.5 petaflops.
The Top 500 inventory of supercomputers also lists 170 supercomputers across the Americas, where there are four in Brazil, and one in Canada. Meanwhile, Europe has 105 machines across a range of countries, and Asia has 218 (including the 167 already mentioned in China), there are only six supercomputers in Oceania and a lone high-performance machine in the whole of Africa.
And, if you were wondering who came last, it was also another Chinese machine; an Inspur TS10000, with a relatively meager 0.286 petaflops.

Objective: Patient-reported health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) measures can provide guidance for treatment decision making, symptom management, and discharge planning. HRQOL is often influenced by the distress experienced by patients from disease or treatment-related symptoms. This study aimed to identify symptoms that can predict changes in HRQOL in men undergoing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for nonmetastatic prostate cancer (NMPC).
Methods: Fifty-one men with NMPC scheduled for EBRT were assessed at the baseline, at the midpoint of EBRT, and at the end of EBRT. All participants received 38‐42 daily doses of EBRT (five times a week), depending on the stage of their disease. Validated questionnaires were administered to evaluate depressive symptoms, urinary and sexual functions, bowel issues, symptom-related distress, fatigue, and HRQOL. Pearson correlations, repeated-measures ANOVA, and multiple regressions examined the relationships among variables.
Results: Intensification of symptoms and increased symptom-related distress, with a corresponding decline in HRQOL, were observed during EBRT in men with NMPC. Changes in symptoms and symptom distress were associated with changes in HRQOL at the midpoint of EBRT (r=‐0.37 to ‐0.6, P=0.05) and at the end of EBRT (r=‐0.3 to ‐0.47, P=0.01) compared with the baseline. The regression model comprising age, body mass index, Gleason score, T category, androgen-deprivation therapy use, radiation dose received, symptoms (urinary/sexual/bowel problems, fatigue), and overall symptom distress explained 70% of the variance in predicting HRQOL. Urinary problems and fatigue significantly predicted the decline in HRQOL during EBRT.
Conclusion: Identifying specific symptoms that can influence HRQOL during EBRT for NMPC can provide feasible interventional targets to improve treatment outcomes.

Drought Good for Honey Farmers
While most farmers can expect reduced yields this year, beekeepers look forward to a bumper honey crop. Flowering plants produce thicker nectar when moisture is scarce, and that makes a bee’s job a little easier.
Ray Nabors is retired apiculture specialist with the University of Missouri’s Delta Research Center in Portageville. He says the crop should be good if bees don’t have to travel too far for water.
“The biggest loss in honey production at this point in time is probably from having too many bees collecting water to keep the hives cool rather than nectar for honey," Nabors said.
Nabors adds the droughts should not affect honey quality.

Anti-OUSU sentiment has excited calls for JCR disaffiliation, culminating in a botched St Peter’s referendum on the issue which could have seen a rejection of OUSU membership. St. Peter’s student Matt Richardson, a staunch supporter of a college breakaway from OUSU, maintains that the referendum was “a farce from the beginning”. An appeal was lodged against his system of proxy voting – previously validated by the JCR Executive – by the Returning Officer five minutes before the referendum was due to close, nullifying the vote. The ballot box remains with Master John Barron, uncounted. During the course of this dispute, the Master, who had been brought in as an arbitrator, declared that the JCR Constitution had in fact never been ratified, rendering the referendum void and the JCR without constitution.The JCR President, Rosalind Morgan, stated that, “A written complaint was brought by a member of the JCR and it was unanimously upheld.” Greg Stafford, a fellow anti-OUSU campaigner of Richardson’s, was “disappointed” at the JCR Executive’s behaviour, claiming that the vote would have been largely in their favour.Richardson and Stafford had sought to block the annual statutory reaffiliation motion – arguing that OUSU “is not representative of the needs and views of St Peter’s”. The referendum has been rescheduled for this term. Stafford is convinced that they can “win again”.Oriel is the only college JCR to have successfully disaffiliated from OUSU, back in 2001. There was “overcharging” said Marcus Little Johns, former JCR President. There have also been rumblings of dissension amongst Merton and Magdalen. Worcester threatened to quit OUSU in June of last year following proposals to increase subscriptions. The student union later backed down to explore other means of making savings.Archive: 0th week HT 2004
Arthur Chu, 12-day Jeopardy champion and writer for The Daily Beast spoke Tuesday evening on the unhealthy views of women found in “nerd culture,” in a lecture titled “Your Princess is in Another Castle,” the second in the Men in Masculinity series sponsored by the Gender Relations Center.Chu said the increasing portrayal of “nerds” in films and television as awkward but benign characters belies the fact that there are implicit misogynistic attitudes promoted by groups within the nerd subculture.“One of the threads is the concept of sexual market value,” Chu said. “It’s the idea that sex is a transaction between man and woman, much like when you’re interacting with a vendor.”Chu said this transactional view is not only found within certain online communities of men who blame their frustrations on women but is also present in popular entertainment.“It sounds crazy. But it’s not that weird. It’s what you see in the battle of the sexes in sitcoms, where the husband and the wife hate each other,” Chu said. “It’s a trope so obvious that even the simplest video games for children use it, that you have to save the princess.”Chu said the frequent use of this trope in entertainment reflects a deeper societal tendency to view women as a prize.“It’s an old narrative; it’s a very powerful narrative of how things should be between men and women,” he said. “It’s built into every story that has the beginning end with the promise of the daughter’s hand in marriage for accomplishing this quest.”Chu said this view of relationships not only harms women but also dissolves the value of relationships.“At the end of the day a transactional view of relationships is a bad relationship,” he said. “The very nature of saying you deserve to be with someone for accomplishing some task means that the person that you want to be with is interchangeable with anyone.”In some cases, this “toxic” perception of relating with women leads to extreme violence, seen in the Virginia Tech and University of California Santa Barbara shootings, Chu said.“It’s often the least successful men — the guys who we think of as nerdy, rejected and pitiful — who are most resentful in this context, and therefore the most dangerous,” Chu said.Chu said the danger in dismissing “lone-wolf” spree killings as anomalies undermines the awareness that these acts are one part of a much larger problem by which women are negatively affected.“The problematic behavior lies on a spectrum,” Chu said. “But the behavior that we’re talking about is built into the assumptions of our society. The spectrum of antagonistic behavior based on a transactional view of sex and marriage is the idea that women owe you something.“No matter how much an individual woman might look for a man who doesn’t buy into this narrative, she’s going to be exposed to men who are on the toxic side of the spectrum.”Chu said countering this transactional view of women and relationships first requires a willingness to address the issue head on.“Just talking about it is a big deal,” Chu said. “When it’s the in the background, when it’s the assumed state of how things are, if you don’t put a name to it, it’s very hard to oppose it.“It is a big deal to recognize when these tropes come up, and recognize that they are tropes, that they are a specific way of looking at things that doesn’t have to be true.”
Sebastien Haller West Ham have signed striker Sebastien Haller from Eintracht Frankfurt in a club record deal worth up to £45m.The 25-year-old former France under-21 international has signed a five-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.Haller, who is West Ham’s fourth summer signing, scored 20 goals in 41 games for the German side last season. The deal eclipses the £36m fee paid by the Hammers for Brazilian Felipe Anderson in 2018.“I think it’s a really good opportunity for me to be here,” said Haller.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram
The coach of the National U-21 female Hockey team Ben Odametey says the performance of the both the male and female national teams in the just ended hockey tourney in South Africa should spur government on to provide the necessary infrastructure to propel the sports forward.According to him, the performance of the female side who are now ranked 2nd on the continent is ample evidence that given the right support and infrastructure, the team could compete with the very best on the continent.He expressed his misgivings at the lack of quality astro turfs to nurse the next generation of hockey stars.Coach Odamtten was speaking to Joy Sports on the prospects of team Ghana and the need for governmental support.“As you know, the female team is currently ranked second on the continent even with the meager resources available to us. We have strived to get to the very top through hard work but that alone is not enough. A certain level of governmental support will do us a world of good. As a nation, we have only one astro turf which is not good enough. The sad thing is it is located in the southern sector thus people who are interested in the sport in other regions rarely get to benefit in anyway. We pray the government comes to our aid in this regard so that we can also compete with the South Africans and beyond.”The female hockey team came out tops in the just ended hockey U-21 Championship which ended in South Africa a couple of days ago.

We care for the natural environment, and choose to leave it as we find it. We stick to the trails, and clean up after the dogs.

Bailey is doing SO WELL!! Best money ever spent.
-A few times a week we practice our boundaries in the yard and she passes test every time.
-She’s a joy to walk now! I have to remind her to heel every few minutes, but then she’s back on track.
-Bailey will peacefully rest in her “place” while we eat dinner.
-She doesn’t loudly bark at every little thing that passes by. She has to us cute little small “letting you know” bark which I don’t mind. -She gently plays with our cat now, instead of trying to bite his head off lol with love of course!!
- She is more gentle with our soon too! Before, Jonah would run and Bailey would chase him. Now I can say Bailey no, and she stops!
- Jonah left the fence open one day, and I looked out and Bailey was with the neighbor. He was trying to get her to come to him. My husband opened the door, yelled “Bailey come” and along she came! Her recall has really grown.
-Overall, she just listens and understands what we need from her. It has been such a difference!!
- I think she may know I’m pregnant because she is at my side 24/7. It’s adorable.
- We continue to work with her greeting people. She is still very excited and wants ALL the love. But it’s a work in progress!
We really couldn’t be happier with her outcomes. There’s so much more I can brag about, but I won’t ;) We are so thankful for everyone at K9 heeling!!

Without School, There Is No Summer Break
June in the U.S. signals the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. Millions of students dread year end exams and papers with their summer plans for camp, travel and play just on the other side of hours of studying. Some of us love going to school, some of us do not, but the reality is we are fortunate that we have access to education and the structure, systems, and opportunities education provides.
Many people throughout the world, especially women, are not so fortunate. In Afghanistan, only 26% of the total population is literate, meaning that over 9.5 million people cannot read the sentence you just did. Exact numbers are difficult to know, but estimates put only 12% of women literate as of 2000 but 25% are estimated to be literate as of 2015, still one of the lowest in the world (1,2).
Women in Afghanistan face numerous barriers to education. The Taliban took control of Afghanistan in the mid 1990s, and since 1998, girls over eight years old have been forbidden from attending school and women were banned from working. The result? Nearly 70% of Afghan teachers don’t have the required level to be teachers as a result of the Taliban’s ban of women from education and the work place (3). An entire generation of Afghan women has been crippled, “ensuring that they would sink deeper into poverty and would have none of the skills needed to function in modern society (4).
If they are able to attend school, girls on average will only complete seven years of education for several reasons. The median age of women in Afghanistan is 18 and the average age of a mother at the birth of her first child is 20. She is then likely to have four or five more children and the responsibilities of marriage, children and the home force women to leave their education (5,6). Girls in rural areas where education is not a priority, have even less access to English, computer and entrance exam skills, subsequently diminishing their ability to attend higher education (7).
Another crippling barrier to women’s education in Afghanistan is the infrastructure itself. The lack of buildings and space allocated to educational facilities for women combined with security risks, create an environment that prevents most women from obtaining even a basic education. There simply aren’t schools for girls. Of the schools that exist for girls, 50% do not have buildings! They also lack other necessities such as supplies, books, assistant teaching materials etc… (8).
work or home duties. In Afghanistan, over 36% of the population lives below the poverty line, and dire poverty disables families from paying even the lowest cost of education (9).
Education is a powerful tool. It is why those in power often deny it of those they wish to oppress. Education creates understanding, thought, and action. ARZU works to inspire each of those within in Afghan women, and so all women who work with ARZU are provided the opportunity to receive basic education, literacy, English and computer courses. In a country where less than a quarter of the population are literate, 100% of ARZU’s women weavers are literate. They can read the prices of items at the market, they can teach their children, and they can be more independent.
Education is power. Be a part of the change. Support ARZU.


text: Rita Ora – “How We Do (Party)” (Video Premiere) Bradley Stern April 17, 2012 Jay Z, Rihanna, Rita Ora, Video Premiere 4 Comments 431 Behold: The video premiere of Rita Ora‘s debut US single, “How We Do (Party)”! It’s fitting, then, that the video for “How We Do (Party)” is one big party (and bullshit): Dancing! Laughing! Shenanigans! Quickly however, the song and video all congeal into one messy mega-mix of Katy Perry‘s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”, Jessie J‘s “Domino” (the song, anyway), a dip into Ke$ha‘s vomit-filled closet and basically everything about Rihanna, ever. It’s all a bit, well… It’s not as though the comparisons are unfounded, either: After all, Ora herself told The Guardian that while there won’t be a “next Rihanna,” Jay-Z hopes to repeat her success. Oh! Well, alright then. As for her UK single “R.I.P (feat. Tinie Tempah)”? Now that’s a song that’s got my full attention…even if that’s mostly because it’s Rated R RiRi-rific. Look: She’s got an amazing voice and definite star wattage, but the comparisons (and/or blatant acts of swagga jacking) are kind of overwhelming. I mean…HELLO! This is Rihanna! Here’s hoping she becomes more of her own beast in due time. “How We Do (Party)” was released on March 27. (iTunes) Share this Muusing:TwitterTumblrFacebookGooglePinterestEmailPrintMoreStumbleUponRedditLinkedIn Matthew That’s a really bad song. It’s a shame because she can sing well, but that song…. http://www.facebook.com/people/Nathalia-Ferrari/1251601953 Nathalia Ferrari I like the song and I think Rita’s got talent. R.I.P. is definately better but I think this song has a chance on summer. She needs to find her own image w/ no doubt but she’s not Rihanna when it comes to personality. Well, let’s give the newbie a chance. Nikolas_Fenti When with the tiresome comparisons ever cease? Continually comparing artists to one another is what’s truly reductive. Rita Ora exudes a youthful, fun energy. Not at all like Rihanna. The song is silly and fun. It’s about having a party, and really, how many different ways can you show some teenager partying. Give her a break. And for those that don’t know, the song itself was written by Bonnie McKee who also wrote Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” Can’t really avoid the similarities there, now can she? Robert You need to watch her performance of “Roc The Life” on Jools Holland. I can’t wait to hear a studio version!
