From cargos to rucksacks, all are available on Army Street
Bangalore: In the labyrinths of the Shivajinagar market, each street has come to have a character of its own. One such street — Army Street — as the name suggests, specialises in gear for the armed forces and the police among others.
However, it seems that as military wear has become part of mainstream fashion, the buyers are becoming more and more varied.
Nadeem Sait, who runs Hind Stores, a set of two shops opposite each other, says: “We now see that more people from the field of security are buying from us. Every week trekkers and people shooting advertisements have begun to come to us.”
The most popular items among trekkers are shoes and boots, multipurpose belts and rucksacks. Hinges and ropes for mountaineering gear get sold very quickly.
Hind Stores, one of four or five stores that deal in such gear, has been around for 70 years now.
Mr. Sait says that he has seen the store deal with only customers from the military, who buy government-issue caps and jackets, to general buyers who now buy the same things without the monograms and writings.
“We have 10 to 15 customers a day, out of which about 10 are people from security, two or three from the military and at least one customer every day who is a trekker or buying our things to make a style statement.”
Prashant, 27, an enthusiastic trekker, is a regular customer at Army Stores, right around the corner from Hind Stores. He buys a pair of trekking boots every year and camouflage pants before he takes off with his friends for his annual trek. “It is sturdy, reliable stuff and you cannot go wrong with buying it here,” he says. “Buying the same things from somewhere else, it’s more expensive and there is a chance it won’t last very long,” he adds.
He is probably right. All of the things that these stores are commissioned to sell are made of material that will last two or three years, Mr. Sait assures you. “Sometimes, when people want cargo pants and rucksacks for advertisements, they come here. They are mostly people from Bangalore who know about this place from their friends or relatives who used to buy things from here,” he adds.
Whether it is word of mouth or a defence connection within the family, Army Street can always be sure that apart from their regular customers, their stock of all things military will attract more people.

New Delhi : Bombay High Court on Thursday granted bail to former media baron Peter Mukerjea in connection with Sheena Bora murder case.
The High Court, however, stayed the order for a period of six weeks on the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) request so that it can file an appeal in the Supreme Court in the matter.
Justice Nitin Sambre granted bail to Mukerjea on a surety of Rs 2 lakh.
Peter Mukerjea is accused of murdering his daughter Sheena Bora over a financial dispute in 2012. The crime came to the fore three years later, in 2015, for which he was charged for conspiracy.
Mukerjea’s wife Indrani is the prime accused in the case and is currently lodged in Mumbai’s Byculla jail. The trial, in this case, is underway at the special CBI court. (ANI)


When it comes to hot water systems, there are plenty of options available and it can be daunting to decide which one is right for you. Two of the most popular options for hot water systems are waste heat hot water systems and condensing hot water systems. But how do they compare to each other?
In this article, we’ll take a look at the differences between waste heat hot water systems and condensing hot water systems in terms of their energy efficiency, cost savings and other benefits. We’ll also touch on the importance of using experienced engineers and installers like Euroheat Australia when designing and constructing hydronic heating & cooling systems.
Waste heat hot water systems are generally more energy efficient than condensing hot water systems as they make use of wasted energy from other sources such as boilers or radiators to help heat the water. This means that less energy is required to heat the water, resulting in lower energy bills. For example, a waste heat hot water system may be able to provide up to 50% savings on your annual energy costs compared to a traditional system.
On the other hand, condensing hot water systems are only slightly more efficient than traditional non-condensing models as they condense some of the exhaust gases from combustion in order to produce more heat for your home. While this does mean greater efficiency, it does not offer significant savings compared to waste heat hot water systems.
Waste heat hotwater systems tend to be more cost effective in terms of upfront costs compared with condensing models due to their simpler design and fewer components required for installation. Additionally, you will also save money over time due to reduced energy bills thanks to their improved efficiency compared with traditional non-condensing models.
Condensing models tend to be slightly more expensive than traditional non-condensing models due to their complex design and additional components needed for installation which can add up quickly if you’re installing multiple units across your home or business premises. However, they are still cost effective solutions when taking into account long term savings thanks to their improved efficiency levels when compared with traditional non-condensing models.
Additionally, installing a Heat & Chill Recovery System (HCR) with either type of system can help reduce your running costs even further as it captures the waste energy produced by either type of system during operation and recycles it back into your home or business premises for further use – thereby reducing overall consumption levels even further! The Euroheat team have 30 years’ experience designing & constructing hydronic heating & cooling solutions including HCRs so why not get in touch with them today if you’re looking for a reliable team who can help make sure you get maximum value from your investment?
In summary, both types ofhotwater system have their own unique advantages but generally speaking wasteheathotwatersystems tendto bemoreenergyefficientandcosteffectivethancondensingmodelsduetotheirsimpleddesignandfewercomponentsneededforinstallation whilestillofferinglongtermenergybillsavingsduetotheirefficiencylevelscomparitivestotraditionalnon-condensingsystems Moreover installationofaHeat&ChillRecoverySystemwitheithertypeofsystemcanhelpreduceyourrunningcostsevenfurtherbycapturingthewasteenergyproducedbyeithersystemduringoperationandrecyclingitbackintoyourhomeorbusinesspremisesforfurtheruse -therebyreducingoverallconsumptionlevelsevenmoreso!

SOHC ladies all set for visit of Torbay
- Credit: Archant
SOHC ladies resume their Petroc Division One campaign this Saturday when they host Torbay 2 at Sidmouth (noon). SOHC have not played a league game since a November 26, 5-1 win over Teign 2.
They did thrash Torbay 7-0 in the first meeting between the teams this league season and they head into this match looking to continue their 100 per cent home record.
The ladies second team will be looking to maintain their bid to lift the Sedgemoor Division Two title when they travel to face Bridgwater 2. They beat them 12-1 when they met at Sidmouth in October. However, since that mauling Bridgwater seemed to have tightened their defence significantly, conceding just16 in the next eight games.
The ladies third and fourth teams meet each other in an in-house Petroc 2 meeting at Sidmouth (10.30am).
The first meeting at the start of the campaign saw the third team win by the odd goal in five.

Account for the dramatic population increase in Europe during the 18th century
Explain how European nations developed world trade during the 18th century
Discuss the consequences of European expansion for the common people
How did our "modern" world begin? This chapter discusses the important economic and demographic changes of the 18th century, which led up to the Industrial Revolution. It also prepares us for understanding the life of ordinary people in the 18th century, which is the subject of the chapter.
The chapter covers four important and interrelated subjects. First, the centuries-old open-field system of agricultural production, a system that was both inefficient and unjust, is described. This system was gradually transformed into a more productive system of capitalist farming, first in the Low Countries and then in England. Some English peasants suffered in the process, but on the whole the changes added up to a highly beneficial agricultural revolution. The second topic is the explosive growth of European population in the 18th century. This growth, still imperfectly understood, was probably due largely to the disappearance of the plague and to new and better foods, such as the potato. Doctors and organized medicine played a very minor role in the improvements in health. Third, the chapter discusses the movement of manufacturing from urban shops to cottages in the countryside. Rural families worked there as units in the new domestic system, which provided employment for many in the growing population. The domestic system was particularly effective in the textile industry, which this chapter examines in detail.
Finally, the chapter shows how the mercantilist economic philosophy of the time resulted in world wars for trade and colonies. Mercantilism also led to the acquisition of huge markets for British manufactured goods, especially cloth. The demand from these new markets fostered the continued growth of the domestic system and put pressure on it. This eventually led to important inventions and the development of the more efficient factory system. Thus the modern world was born. It is important to look for the interrelatedness of these changes and to keep in mind that it was in only one country, Great Britain, that all of these forces were fully at work.
McKay Intro: The Expansion of Europe in the 18th Century
The world of absolutism and aristocracy, a combination of raw power and elegant refinement, was a world apart from that of the common people. For the overwhelming majority of the population in the 18th century, life remained a struggle with poverty and uncertainty, with the landlord and tax collector. In 1700 peasants on the land and artisans in their shops lived little better than had their ancestors in the Middle Ages. Only in science and thought, and there only among a few intellectual elites and their followers, had Western society succeeded in going beyond the great achievements of the High Middle Ages, achievements that in turn owed so much to Greece and Rome.
Everyday life was a struggle because European societies, despite their best efforts, still could not produce very much by modern standards. Ordinary men and women might work like their beasts in the fields, and they often did, but there was seldom enough good food, warm clothing, and decent housing. Life went on; history went on. The wars of religion ravaged Germany in the 17th century; Russia rose to become a Great Power; the state of Poland simply disappeared; monarchs and nobles continually jockeyed for power and wealth. In 1700 or even 1750, the idea of progress, of substantial improvement in the lives of great numbers of people, was still only a dream of a small elite in fashionable salons.
Yet the economic basis of European life was beginning to change. In the course of the 18th century, the European economy emerged from the long crisis of the 17th century, responded to challenges, and began to expand once again. Population resumed its growth, while colonial empires developed and colonial elites prospered. Some areas were more fortunate than others. The rising Atlantic powers - Holland, France, and above all, England - and their colonies led the way. The expansion of Agriculture and industry, trade and population, marked the beginning of a surge comparable to that of the 11th and 12th-century springtime of European civilization. But this time, broadly based expansion was not cut short. This time, the response to new challenges led toward one of the most influential developments in human history, the Industrial Revolution, considered in Chapter 22.
What were the causes of this renewed surge?
Why were the fundamental economic underpinnings of European society beginning to change at this time, and what were the dimensions of those changes?
How did these changes affect people and their work?
Agriculture and the Land
The Hazards of an Agrarian Economy
The agricultural yields in 17th century Europe were not much higher than in ancient Greece.
Frequent poor harvest and bad weather led to famine and disease
The open-field system
The open-field system, developed during the Middle Ages, divided the land into a few large fields, which were then cut up into long, narrow strips.
The fields were farmed jointly by the community, but a large portion of the arable land was always left fallow.
Common lands were set aside for community use.
The labor and tax system throughout Europe was unjust, but eastern European peasants suffered the most.
There were few limitations on the amount of forced labor the lord could require
Serfs could be sold
By the 18th century most peasants in western Europe were free from serfdom, and many owned some land
The agricultural revolution of the late 17th and 18th centuries
The use of idle fallow land by crop rotation increased cultivation, which meant more food.
the secret was in alternating grain crops with nitrogen-storing crops, such as peas and beans, root crops, and grasses
This meant more fodder for animals, which meant more meat for the people and more manure for fertilizer
These improvements necessitated ending the open-field system by "enclosing" the fields
Enclosure of the open fields to permit crop rotation also meant the disappearance of common land
Many peasants and noble landowners opposed these changes
The enclosure process was slow, and enclosed and open fields existed side by side for a long time
The leadership of the Low Countries and England
By the middle of the 17th century, the Low Countries led in intensive farming
This Dutch lead was due largely to the need to feed a growing population
The growth of the urban population provided good markets for the produce
Dutch engineers such as Cornelius Vermuyden helped England drain its marshes to create more arable land
"Turnip" Townsend was one of the pioneers of English agricultural improvement
Tull advocated the use of horses for plowing and drilling equipment for sowing seeds
The Cost of Enclosure
Some historians argue that the English landowners were more efficient than continental owners, and that enclosures were fair.
Others argue that the enclosure acts forced small peasants and landless cottagers off the land
In reality, the enclosure and the exclusion of cottagers and laborers had begun as early as the 16th century
The Scottish professor Adam Smith founded modern economics through his general idea of freedom and enterprise in foreign trade.
He claimed that mercantilism stifled economic growth
He advocated free competition; he believed that pursuit of self-interest would lead to harmony and progress, for workers as well as employers
While some European intellectual elites and parts of the educated public were developing a new view of the world in the 18th century, Europe as a whole was experiencing a gradual but far-reaching expansion. As agriculture began showing signs of modest improvement across the Continent, first the Low Countries and then in England launched changes that gradually revolutionized agriculture. Plague disappeared, and the populations of all countries grew significantly, thereby encouraging the growth of wage labor, cottage industry, and merchant capitalism.
Europeans also continued their overseas expansion, fighting for empire and profit and, in particular, consolidating their hold on the Americas. A revived Spain and its Latin American colonies participated fully in this expansion. As in Agriculture and cottage industry, however, England and its empire proved most successful. The English concentrated much of the growing Atlantic trade in their hands, a development that challenged and enriched English industry and intensified interest in new methods of production and in an emerging economic liberalism. Thus by the 1770s, England was approaching an economic breakthrough fully as significant as the great political upheaval destined to develop shortly in neighboring France.

La closing ceremony ofInternational Year of Glass, which took place on Wednesday 14 December at the United Nations Headquarters, did not interrupt the projects aimed at testifying and celebrating the greatness of a timeless material.
In line with the engaging invitation of Alicia Durán, president of theUN International Year of Glass 2022, therefore the events dedicated to the world of glass continue. And our country is once again at the forefront, strengthened by a narrative that draws nourishment from one centuries-old tradition, which involves the distinct but contiguous areas of industry, design, art and science.
The promotion of glass as a scientific material of tradition and of the future takes place at the Giovanni Poleni Museum of the History of Physics in Padua, through a temporary exhibition entitled "Glass. From Roman antiquity to space probes", which will remain on display until 30 April 2023.
The exhibition represents an evocative journey to discover the characteristics and applications of glass, with particular attention to the physical properties of this material: a solid, with different qualities of a liquid.
Organized by the Giovanni Poleni museum and the Galileo Galilei Department of Physics and Astronomy, “Vetro. From Roman antiquity to space probes” is part of the third mission project “Science from the Islamic world to today's Europe”. The exhibition itinerary of the exhibition is articulated through archaeological finds, European and Islamic art objects and scientific instruments from the seventeenth century to the present day.
An encounter between materials and peoples
Artistic objects and scientific instruments are juxtaposed to highlight the contiguous development between art and science, according to a criterion of temporal consistency.
The chronological order also underlines the contribution that a material such as glass has given and continues to give to astronomical progress, starting from the first lenses up to the interferometer of the Plato mission, scheduled for 2026, with the aim of observing the presence of planets in extrasolar systems.
The exhibition also traces the different methods of working glass, the evolution of which was favored by the encounter between peoples, in particular thanks to theinfluence exerted by the Muslim world on the Venetian one.
The exhibition, with free admission, is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 18 and on Tuesday afternoons from 17.30 to 19.30. To fully grasp the charm of the “Vetro. From Roman antiquity to space probes" watch the report at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLbuvmUDpZs&t=291s.

The Mayflower Autonomous Ship is now ready for its second attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Plymouth, United Kingdom, to Plymouth, Massachusetts, without the assistance of an onboard human. The one-of-a-king autonomous ship has been integrated with IBM’s AI Captain, the operation’s digital brain that allows the Mayflower to design its own course across the ocean.
This is an important development because it could lead to more widespread use of autonomous ships in the future. Autonomous ships have the potential to reduce accidents at sea, lower emissions, and improve efficiency. However, there are still some hurdles to clear before autonomous ships can become a reality.
For one thing, autonomous ships will need to be equipped with reliable sensors and AI systems that can navigate safely in all conditions. In addition, there will need to be a way to ensure that autonomous ships can operate seamlessly alongside human-operated vessels. But if these challenges can be overcome, autonomous ships could revolutionize maritime transportation.

Poor technical support The app itself is decent. However, when there are problems, tech support is not able to resolve issues and takes weeks not doing so! I contacted tech support regarding three separate issues over the course of two years. None of the aforementioned were ever resolved. Buyer beware!
OK but some problems I used this for years and now have switched to Dashlane instead. This app never seemed to synch properly the last 5 years or so. Sometimes it would synch, and sometimes it would not, for no detectable reason. Tech support is truly poor as well.

I use this app for years and I find it very useful. Samsung Galaxy S6 - Telus
Fingerprint finally added!!!!! Thank you
Customer since my Palm IIIxe purchase! Seriously one of the best programs I have ever used It's great for keeping data at your fingertips. For instance, I created a "surgery" type so when I fill out medical forms, I have that info with me. I take advantage of the NOTES section to keep track of when a password was changed and why, not to mention location of specific info I might need to refer to. (A PDF of my pet's last Rabies vaccine.) I am a lifetime user & share this app with friends. Thanks for a wonderful program, Splash Data!

While examining ductwork on a typical residential HVAC installation this fall, a company technician stumbled upon hidden treasure — over a dozen baby food jars filled to the brim with approximately $300,000 worth of gold dust.
Just over a year ago, Air Quality Dunrite, Concord, Ontario, Canada, was a struggling company, experiencing recurring revenue losses and an uncertain future. Today, under the direction of new ownership, the company is thriving — emerging with a 7 percent net profit in 2012, and anticipated double-digit gains in 2013.
Various innovative HVACR manufacturers are touting new tools geared toward making equipment installation and maintenance easier for contractors, thus vastly improving the quality and quantity of their work.
In some cases, the proper HVACR tool simply doesn’t exist. In those instances, some entrepreneurial contractors take it upon themselves to craft their own solutions. Thus was the case with Mitch Livingston, his nephew Corey Livingston, and their ACAL-SHARK copper alarm.
So, you’ve been thinking about starting your own HVACR contracting business. Or, perhaps you vowed HVACR success as a New Year’s resolution. But where do you begin? The NEWS recently connected with a handful of HVACR professionals and asked them: “If you were just breaking into the industry, which tools would be most important to success, and why?”
A proposed settlement in the regional energy-efficiency standards lawsuit would exempt nonweatherized gas furnaces from the law, thus eliminating a May 1, 2013 requirement that would mandate 90-percent AFUE furnaces in the North, and 80-percent AFUE furnaces in the Southeast and Southwest.
In 1962, Earl and Rachel Smith set out to make a living in the HVACR industry. Fifty years later, E. Smith Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. is recognized as one of greater-Atlanta’s most well-respected HVACR contractors.
More than 50 members of The Unified Group convened for the organization’s 14th annual Owner’s Forum and Annual Meeting in November to discuss the importance of succession and strategic planning, networking, business success, and more.
As 2012 races to a close, The NEWS is proud to celebrate those making headlines this year — our NEWSmakers. Rather than lounge around and wait for the industry to come to them, these pacesetters rushed to the forefront, leading by example.

NORFOLK, Neb. – As online, shopping, business and other opportunities become more and more prevalent in society, Richard Chrisman reminds consumers there is a simple rule to keep in mind. “Anytime someone is reaching out to you for money unsolicited, you can almost bet it’s a scam of some sort.”
Chrisman, an information technology instructor at Northeast Community College, said phishing attacks, when scammers use email or text messages to trick someone into giving them their personal information, have become common place, especially through regular online consumer platforms. He said people who say they are sellers can get in and out of such sites rather quickly and it is difficult for authorities to track them down.
Speaking during a consumer cybersecurity interactive forum at the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce, sponsored by the Norfolk LAN Party, Chrisman said consumers have experienced fraud on a number of regular online platforms where someone takes a big-ticket item, such as a boat, and lists it with a price that is far less than what it would normally be. He said this is when the old adage “if it sounds too good to be true it probably is” should kick in for any consumer.
“The goal isn’t necessarily to get you to buy the boat. The goal is to do a phishing activity to get your information whether it’s your name, your address, your email,” he said. “When hackers or people that are trying to commit a fraud come to you, they’re really looking at getting as much information as possible about you because if they can build a profile, it’s much easier then to assume your identity and get into identity theft.”
Chrisman cautioned that even if someone would buy the product at the lower price or fill out a form for whatever they may purchase, the person at the other end of the transaction will try to get them to either wire or email the money by spoofing an app or website to complete the transaction.
“Not only that, you’re sending your credit details – and that’s the big thing they get. Even if they don’t get the credit details, if they can get the $1,000 or $1,500 a pop, they can sell that same boat many times over.”
If a seller isn’t willing to personally show a big-ticket item that is for sale, that is a red flag. Chrisman cautioned potential buyers to never use their main email account to communicate with a seller, but rather set up a separate another account without using the buyer’s full name for such transactions.
Chrisman suggests that if someone is scammed, they should report it to the proper authorities or to the website or app in question. He said the quicker the perpetrator can be removed from a site, it can possibly save other victims from the same fate of losing their money or having their identity stolen. He is hopeful that one day technology will be able to play more of a role in identifying scammers than what is available today.
Northeast Community College offers a program that trains students in the field of cybersecurity. In 2018, the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security selected the College’s Cyber Center as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Two-Year Education (CAE2Y), one of two community colleges in Nebraska with the designation.
“It’s probably the highest certification or designation that you can get in cybersecurity at the community college level,” Chrisman said.
Northeast’s degree concentration of information technology (IT), information security, and technical services support combine the IT core and general education requirements plus courses from the information security certificate and the technical services support certificate. A student completing the degree will have the skills to provide technical services support within an organization and also have the skills necessary to help the organization ensure continuous operation by safeguarding data from attacks and disasters.
The Norfolk LAN Party event also featured an officer from the Norfolk Police Division and local experienced gamers who spoke on cyber safety. The program may be viewed on the group’s Facebook page at facebook.com/NorfolkLanParty. To learn more about Northeast’s information technology program and its Cyber Center, go to northeast.edu.

The feminist movement taught women to see themselves as victims of an oppressive patriarchy. ... Self-imposed victimhood is not a recipe for happiness.— Phyllis Schlafly
Inspiring Feminist Movement quotations
It appears that America's anti-Biblical feminist movement is at last dying, thank God, and is possibly being replaced by a Christ-centered men's movement which may become the foundation for a desperately needed national spiritual awakening.
A writer will write with or without a movement;
but at the same time, for Chicano, lesbian, gay and feminist writers-anybody writing against the grain of Anglo misogynist culture-political movements are what have allowed our writing to surface from the secret places in our notebooks into the public sphere.
My hope is that feminist, racial justice, reproductive rights and LGBT movements build a coalition that centers on the lives of women who lead intersectional lives and too often fall in between the cracks of these narrow mission statements.
I am a feminist because I feel endangered, psychically and physically, by this society and because I believe that the women's movement is saying that we have come to an edge of history when men - insofar as they are embodiments of the patriarchal idea - have become dangerous to children and other living things, themselves included
Trans women of color dangerously fall in between the cracks of racial justice, feminist and LGbt movements.
The feminist anti-pornography movement, no less than the feminist movement of a century ago, encourages the assumption that male and female sexuality, and possibly morality, are as unlike as yin and yang.
My parents demonstrated against the Vietnam war, they were into the civil rights movement, the feminist movement, they started the first vegetarian restaurant in Pittsburgh.
The deception at the heart of the feminist movement is nowhere more apparent than in the silence with which self-professed feminists and feminist movements ignore the inhumane treatment of women who live under Islamic law.
Gone are the days when reality fed the feminist movement.
One of the biggest problems with the modern feminist movement is its failure to bring men along with us.
The feminist movement has spent 30 years putting down the role of stay-at-home moms and trying to tell young women that only someone who is mentally disabled would pick that for a career.
It is not enough to call yourself a feminist because you are a strong woman.
Thatcher was an enemy to feminism, as is Nadine Dorries. Like other liberation movements, feminism has an ideology and a goal. It is not about personal liberty and freedom, but the emancipation from oppression and tyranny for ALL women, whatever our race or class.
The feminist movement has far more anger for men than it has love for women.
The feminist movement as at present instituted is Inadequate.
There will be no mass-based feminist movement as long as feminist ideas are understood only by a well-educated few.
I've never been drawn to the feminist movement.
I was brought up to believe that men had little to do with the home or children - except to bring in the money.
I have never experienced racism in the feminist movement, so it concerned me to think that I was unable to see the subject clearly because I came from white, middle-class privilege.
Gloria Steinem in the women's movement.
Eleanor Smeal of the Feminist Majority. There are all of these great wonderful women I've met that are so inspirational.
It was interesting that feminists of my generation told me: You are discouraging younger women; you are confirming stereotypes of women; you are opening a door, initiating a debate, that will harm our movement. And my point was: We are already having this debate, especially in the younger generation.
The point of the feminist movement wasnt simply to set our underwear on fire and muscle into small spaces in the male-dominated workplace, but to create a world where the contribution of both sexes was equally valued and no ones worth was judged on their take-home salary.
There is a reason why America produced the most vigorous feminist movement in the world: We were one of the only countries in which the middle class (which is wealthy by world standards) customarily employed its own women as domestic servants.
Even though I had a good income from my lectures, no one would give me a loan.
The insanity almost drove me to sympathize with the feminist movement.
I wish that I had bridged the feminist movement and the anti-war movement better than I did.
Pat Robertson said the feminist movement was just a bunch of lesbians who wanted to leave their husbands and kill their children. I quoted him in my book. It's a fantastic statement.
The thing that most distresses me is whenever I see things over sexualized, I worry about young girls. Some of the fall out of the feminist movement is that it made younger and younger girls more sexually available. It's part of the philosophy, be your own person and be free. But, girls are so over sexualized in this culture.
I think there's a part of society that is very for women being confident and being empowered, but I think there's another part of society that feels very threatened by women being powerful. Because of the feminist movement, a lot of women are feeling way more empowered to be themselves and do what they want to do in life.
The generation I grew up in was the beginning of "stand up for yourself," whether being a singer-songwriter or a feminist. In my college years, the feminist movement was really coming to fore, so we wouldn't have put up with guys treating us less than equal.
Seeing lesbian photography is just the tip of my radicalized clitoris.
I have modeled for, commissioned, published, and fought for these pictures, and answered threats against them. I've seen the feminist movement bring these pictures to life, and I've seen that same movement try to suppress the liberating results.
"Suffragette" is an intense drama that tracks the story of the foot soldiers of the early feminist movement as they fight for the right to vote.
The goals of the feminist movement have not been achieved, and those who claim we're living in a post-feminist era are either sadly mistaken or tired of thinking about the whole subject.
The liberal feminist movement never imagined that women would take seriously the encouragement to become our own heroes and claim life for ourselves, on our terms, no matter who we are. Pro-choice and pro-life, Christian and not, poor and rich, black, white, gay and straight. It is a dream we all hold dear, and it's called the Tea Party.
But one did not do feminist theory, as such, in those days, not only because male academic discourse did not recognize such a term, but especially because the women's movement did not either.
I separated ways from the American feminist movement when they became anti-sexual. I believe embracing sexuality is a part of what it means to be free.
I was interested in the ripples of feminism passing through Britain and Ireland in the mid-Seventies - how the reverberations of the feminist political movement were being felt in suburban households. So many novels end with a marriage.

Brendan Matthews grew up watching his mum perform at the Sydney Opera House – now the boy soprano will get his time in the spotlight at the 2017 Schools Spectacular.
Brendan, 12, from Hurstville Grove, is the youngest son of famous Australian soprano Emma Matthews.
The Year 7 student has been selected as one of 44 solo singers taking part in the annual Schools Spectacular held at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena in November.
“We are very proud of him,” Mrs Matthews said, who has won more Helpmann Awards than any other Australian opera singer.
“He watched the Schools Spectacular on television last year and he said he would like to audition this year.
“It is quite a gruelling audition process. It is about five or six stages and he kept finding out he was through to the next stage, so he has been incredibly excited.”
Mrs Matthews said her son simply loved to perform and sing, and he hoped to pursue a career in musical theatre in the future.
“He has always sung and danced around the place. We are a performing arts family and he has been equal to it. He grew up visiting the Opera House with me a lot for work and, before he spoke, his first words were sung,” she said.
“His love is musical theatre so you never know he could be the next Hugh Jackman.”
Brendan currently attends Newtown High School of the Performing Arts but will be moving with his family to Perth next year. His mum, originally from Perth, is taking up a position at the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts as the head of classical voice.
Brendan said he was thrilled to be performing at the Schools Spectacular. “I’m so excited to be singing in the Schools Spectacular this year as a featured artist. This is a dream come true.”
The big event is now in its 34th year and will be held over two days on November 24 and 25.
It features the best performers from public schools in NSW and ACT including thousands of dancers, singers, musicians and drama students.
The feature performers this year include 44 solo singers and 145 dancers.

Basil is grown as an herb in both indoor and outdoor gardens. Basil must be supplied the proper amount of water in order to thrive;, too much or too little water can lead to plant damage or death.
Prepare the garden bed before planting to maximize moisture in the soil. Add a 4- to 6-inch layer of compost to the bed and till it in with a hoe or power tiller. Compost helps retain moisture while adding nutrients to the bed.
- Basil is grown as an herb in both indoor and outdoor gardens.
- The large, bright green leaves also add an ornamental touch in beds and borders.
Irrigate basil once a week in a single, deep watering. Provide about 1.5 inches of water per plant each week. Water more frequently during hot, dry periods if the soil is drying out.
Apply a 2-inch layer of organic mulch, such as bark or straw, around each plant to help preserve soil moisture. Mulching also prevents weed growth around the basil plants.
Water potted basil until the excess moisture drips from the bottom drainage holes. Water when the soil surface begins to feel dry. Outdoor containers are more prone to drying and require frequent irrigation, as summer heat causes the soil in the pots to dry more quickly.

As Chicago endured a devastating surge in gun violence last summer, scores of people with long rap sheets stood atop the Chicago Police Department’s secret watch list, newly obtained records show, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. One of the men had been arrested 12 times for violent crimes, all before turning 20. He’d also been charged with illegal gun possession. Two others each had been arrested eight times for violent crimes and caught three times with guns. Another had been busted three times for illegal guns, racked up four arrests for violent offenses and been shot twice. “We have 1,400 individuals that drive this gun violence in this city, said Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson in August, assuring the public his department was keeping tabs on the people on its closely guarded “Strategic Subject List.” “We’ve gotten very good at predicting who will be the perpetrators or victims of gun violence.”
The list is far broader and more extensive than Johnson has suggested. It includes more than 398,000 entries, encompassing everyone who has been arrested and fingerprinted in Chicago since 2013. Nearly half of the people at the top of the list have never been arrested for illegal gun possession. About 13 percent have never been charged with any violent crime. Twenty of the 153 people deemed most at risk to be involved in violent crime, as victim or shooter, have never been arrested either for guns or violence. That’s according to a version of the list the police department released to the Sun-Times after a lengthy legal dispute. The police concluded those people were at great risk to either commit a violent crime or become the victim of one — and, as a result, should be watched closely — because they had been shot or assaulted, had been identified by the police as a gang member or recently were arrested for any crime, even a nonviolent offense.

STARK COUNTY, Ohio — Neighbors in several Northeast Ohio retirement communities are grappling with drastic rent hikes after a company took over properties in Navarre and Elyria. The seniors, many of whom are living on fixed incomes, worry how they’ll afford to stay in their homes.
News 5 stories highlighting the concerns are now being cited by Congress in a demand for answers.
Monday, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown issued a letter to Legacy Communities, LLC about the steep rent hikes at Navarre Village and Twin Lakes. He also sent one to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, better known as Freddie Mac, requesting a review of its financing practices for manufactured home communities.
“They’re just preying on the elderly people,” said Bob Cowger, who’s lived in Navarre Village for about 10 years.
Residents in the manufactured home community own their houses, but pay monthly fees for the lots in the park. In September, Legacy Communities, LLC took over Navarre Village, but did not mention any increasing lot rents.
When several people tried to sell their homes, they discovered the company was more than doubling monthly lot rent for incoming residents. The steep hike has been driving away prospective buyers.
“Who would come in and buy a house and pay $850 or even $700 when your neighbors are paying $370 or $425?” said Christine DiSabatino, a realtor who has lived in Navarre Village for 5 years and helped sell properties in the community since 2007.
Bob Senften, who’s lived there 5 years, added, “We’re stuck. If we wanted to move, we couldn’t move.”
The neighbors said existing residents were told their monthly fees would go up by more than 8% when they renewed their contracts. More recently, they’re hearing the rent will rise by 14.9%, though they’ve received no official notice.
“It’s just all this uncertainty that builds up in people’s minds and the anxiety of it all. You just don’t feel comfortable staying,” Senften said.
The situation is similar to what residents at the Twin Lakes 55+ community in Elyria are experiencing. Several neighbors there reached out to News 5 in November to share Legacy Communities, which acquired the property in 2019, planned to raise monthly fees by more than 9%.
Monday, Twin Lakes residents confirmed they received notice the lot rent will rise by up to 9.6%. Neighbors in both communities said the increases cannot be justified by inflation or any improvements to facilities or amenities.
Many are living on social security and said cost of living adjustment doesn’t cover the reality of their rising housing costs.
“That’s all gone between utilities, groceries, the raising of your rent and everything else that’s gone up. The cost of living in social security is a joke,” said Megan Pasterchek, a Navarre Village resident.
Senator Brown writes to the company and Freddie Mac as the Chair of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. The agency provides low-interest rate, federally subsidized loans to private firms, like Legacy Communities, to promote access to affordable housing, like manufactured home communities. But the Senator points out those companies’ practices can make the housing option unaffordable.
“I urge you to immediately halt rent increases for existing and new residents in your communities and meet personally with tenants in both Twin Lakes and Navarre Village to hear their experiences living in your communities,” his letter said.
Legacy Communities has not responded to News 5’s repeated requests for comment in the past month-and-a-half and Monday.

Industry dialogues and increased engagement with the public are needed if mining firms are to move past the policy upheavals of recent months, a businessman said.
Dante Bravo, president of Global Ferronickel Holdings, Inc. (FNI), told The Manila Times on Monday that the industry was still in the “honeymoon stage” with Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu, who replaced Regina “Gina” Lopez in May.
Lopez shook up the industry by cracking down on environmental violators, cancelling permits and ordering the closure of nearly two dozen mines accounting for a sizeable chunk of the Philippines’ nickel output.
Among those affected were FNI subsidiaries Platinum Group Metals Corp., whose Surigao operations were ordered closed, and Ipilan Nickel Corp., whose environmental permit was cancelled.
Cimatu has so far upheld Lopez’s orders pending a review and just recently the Environment department issued a cease and desist order against Ipilan.
Department officials, however, last month also raised the possibility that Lopez’s ban on open pit mining could be lifted.
While Cimatu is viewed as “friendlier” to the industry, Bravo said: “We’re still in the honeymoon stage. There’s not much of a really meaningful dialogue … how to address the orders issued by Gina Lopez, pending bills in Congress, [and]the matter of public perception.”
“I think there was so much misinformation that happened during Gina Lopez’s time and so it’s very hard to recover from that because naturally people are drawn to entertain more negativity rather than the positive things that we do,” he said.
“[T]he government, particularly the regulatory agencies, are much aware of what we’ve been doing good in the areas that we operate [in], but those don’t get published, so there’s trouble,” he claimed.
FNI has taken actions to counter the issues raised against its units, filing a motion for reconsideration. A review supposed to be conducted by the interagency Mining Industry Coordinating Council has yet to be completed.
“We’re really hopeful because as I said, [the cases]are unlawful, there’s no basis at all. So, we hope that they’re going to resolve it soon,” Bravo said.
The FNI official said mining sector would recover and increase its focus operations and compliance with regulatory requirements.
“The regulatory landscape has been there. It’s efficient, it’s working. I don’t think that needs to be disturbed,” he claimed.

When a trend reversal happens, the main direction of a currency pair's price movement changes. This gives traders a chance to either lock in gains or start a trade in the opposite direction.
If you want to do well in the foreign exchange market, you need to know how trends rise and fall. Therefore, identifying forex trend reversals is a must in such a case. Here, your ability to predict and quickly adapt to a changing market situation can make the difference between success and failure.
So, if you want to learn how to spot changes in the trends in foreign exchange dealing, get ready for a wild ride!
What Are Trend Reversals In Forex?
Trend reversals are like an exciting plot twist, and they keep traders on the edge of their seats. When there is a big change in the usual way that the prices of two currencies move, from going up to going down or back again, we say that the trend has flipped.
When the market shows signs of a mood change, traders need to reevaluate their strategies and make smart changes. Therefore, traders who want to keep their gains or take advantage of new opportunities pay close attention to these turning points.
For traders, reading the market's language right before it says something strong is like trying to guess when a trend will change. The key is to be able to pick up on the little things that mean a change of direction.
Traders with a lot of experience know how important it is to predict changes in the market and act on them, even if that means selling into a reversal or just getting out of a position that goes with the current direction.
Hereby, as the market goes through a time of change, traders have to decide whether to stay or leave the market with grace. The story then goes in a strange direction.
How To Identify Trend Reversal In Forex?
Your experience in the field will help a lot to identify trend reversals. But some things may indicate a reversal, as follows:
Spotting Weakness In The Trending Move
It is very important to keep an eye out for signs that the prevailing trend is weak. Look for differences between price and technical signs, less trading, or a loss of momentum. These kinds of signs can mean that the current trend is about to end.
Recognizing Strength In The Retracement Move
During a possible turnaround, pay close attention to the retracement phase to see if that move is strong. There may be a change in the mood of the market if prices go back down sharply and against the present trend. If prices change quickly, it could mean that a new trend is starting to move the other way.
Break Of Key Support
When key levels of support or resistance are broken, the market is about to change direction. A clear break of these levels could mean that buyers and sellers are now in a different position of power, which could mean that the trend is changing.
Departure From The Long-Term Trendline
The long-term trendline shows visually how a currency pair has been moving in the same way over time. If these trendlines are broken in a big way, it could mean that the market is moving in a different direction. Thus, this could mean that the trend is about to change.
Price Approaching Higher Timeframe Structure
When you zoom out to longer periods, you can see the market more broadly. It's more likely that the trend will change if the price is getting close to important structural marks on these bigger charts. People in the market usually see these buildings as areas with a lot of power.
Identifying Overextended Prices
Markets have a limit beyond which they will snap back, just like rubber bands. A price that moves in a very different way from its average or important technical levels can be a sign of overextension.
As the market tries to find balance, these kinds of overextensions often happen before dips or reversals.
Monitoring Candlestick Patterns
Watch out for candlestick shapes; they tell you how the market is feeling. Possible changes in the trend can be seen in reverse patterns such as shooting stars, hammers, and enveloping patterns. Once you know how to read these patterns, you'll be better able to spot reversal signs.
Technical measures, like the Relative Strength Index or Moving Average Convergence Divergence, show that price changes do not follow the same pattern. These also work as forex trend reversal identifier.
This is when you should look out for divergences. Divergences could mean that momentum is fading, which could mean that the trend is about to change directions.
Volume analysis is a very useful tool for trend analysis. If volume rises along with price action, it means that traders are sure of their decisions. On the other hand, if volume falls apart from price action, it could mean that the trend is changing.
External factors, like the release of economic data or events in geopolitics are great to identify forex trend reversal. They can cause both underlying shifts and changes in the direction of a trend.
It is important to know about possible events that could move the market because they can change people's moods and shift trends quickly.
Top Reversal Patterns Forex Traders Should Know
In Forex trading, each pattern serves as a unique character. Traders who master the art of recognizing these patterns can make informed decisions in this area. Here are some patterns that you should know:
Hammer And Inverted Hammer
The Hammer is the main character in a down market, indicating that things might turn around. The inverted Hammer is the opposite of the Hammer. After a string of downtrends, this positive reversal candlestick pattern shows up.
Imagine a candlestick with a long lower wick but no top wick. This shows that lower prices were turned down. The pair of currencies may open lower than it closed the previous day, but it always miraculously makes its way back to a price close to the starting price. This picture is a signal for buyers to act.
When the market is going up, on the other hand, the inverted Hammer is the most important chart. This bearish turnaround pattern has a long upper wick and a very short lower wick, which shows that the market doesn't like higher prices.
After a string of bullish candlesticks, the inverted Hammer appears, which suggests that the mood may be changing. The market is telling you "Enough is enough."
When the price of a currency pair trades above its starting price but closes close to it, traders are told to place short orders at a distance equal to the length of the upper wick.
Head And Shoulders And Inverse Head And Shoulders
Consider the Forex market as a story with ups and downs, and the Head and Shoulders pattern as an exciting turn in the story. This bearish trend turnaround happens in three stages while the market is still going up.
In Act 1, the market reaches its highest point after rising for a while and then falling for a short time. In Act 2, there is another rise that leads to a second peak before giving up again. Finally, act three starts with a short rise in the market followed by a sharp drop.
The neckline is the line that connects the bottoms of these three peaks. Traders who want to seize the moment pay close attention to it. When the price breaks through or hits this line from below, the Forex market confirms that the trend is going down.
According to the inverse Head and Shoulders pattern, when prices are going down, the trend will turn around and go up again. Imagine that the value of the currency pair hit three lows in a row.
The crown is at the lowest part of the middle-low, which is called the "head." It is surrounded by two lows that stick out like shoulders. The first low shows up after a drop, which is followed by a short rise.
Before another drop, the second low shows up, and finally, the last low shows up after a short dip. The plot changes when the price touches or passes the neckline that runs from the highest point to each of these three low points.
Double Tops And Bottoms
The market shows two high points, with a drop in prices between them. This is the Double Top pattern, which is another sign of a bear market. Both hills are the same height, which makes for a beautiful sight.
The price of the currency pair falls below its support level, which is proof of this bearish turn. The trigger line is the lowest place between the two high prices. It tells traders to sell short or get out of the trade.
When you look at the other side, the Double Bottom pattern is like a bullish song. In this case, the currency pair makes two lower lows in a row, with price increases in between. Like the Double Top's uniform heights, these lows sit next to each other without clashing.
The change in trend from bearish to bullish is proven when the price of the currency pair goes up above its resistance level. The trigger line tells traders whether to go long or start the trade at the highest point between the two low prices.
Bullish And Bearish Engulfing
The market can be thought of as a play with parts that go up and down. This uptrend turnaround is like a play, and the Bullish Engulfing pattern is the main character. It starts with a bearish candlestick, which prepares the way for a positive one to come in with a bang.
The bullish candlestick covers the bearish one below it and closes above the high price of the previous candle. This flashy display proves a bullish reversal and gives traders the best price levels to buy or sell.
It's a sign that buyers of that currency pair are acting aggressively, which means that the market mood is changing.
Again, the Bearish Engulfing pattern takes center stage on the other side of the stage after a rise. The story starts with a bullish candlestick, which sets the stage for a strong bearish rival to steal the show.
This negative candlestick wraps around the previous bullish candlestick and closes below the low price of the previous candle.
The Doji Candlestick is a mysterious character. It makes things interesting when the starting and closing prices are very close to each other.
When the Gravestone Doji appears at the bottom of a decline, it means that the trend is about to turn up, which is a sign for traders to think about going long.
On the other hand, the Dragonfly Doji shows a bearish reversal when it is found at the peak of an uptrend, which tells traders to think about short holdings.
Rising And Falling Wedges
When a trend changes, the Rising Wedge usually plays a big role, especially when the trend is going up. Imagine prices dropping sharply before staging a dramatic turnaround that points to a wide rise coming soon.
When prices go down and then back up, which confirms the bullish reversal, buyers are shown the best price levels to buy or sell.
On the other side of the story, the Falling Wedge acts as the main character during a correction. Picture prices going through the roof before a sudden strategic change signals a wide breakdown right away.
As prices drop and then rise again, proving the bearish reversal, traders are at a crossroads where the best price levels are to sell short or get out of the trade.
Impact Of Forex Trend Reversals
When a trend in the foreign exchange market changes, it's like a mixture of different feelings in investors. The mood of all traders changes dramatically when a rise turns into a downswing or the other way around.
Traders need to change how they do things to match the plot of price changes, just like dedicated readers of a suspense book do. They do this quickly in response to changes in how people feel.
A change in the way of the foreign exchange market trend has a big impact on both the strategies traders use and the results of their positions. When a trend changes, trading methods that worked before might not work anymore, so you'll need to make changes to your strategy.
If you're riding high on a bullish trend, you might want to short your positions or quickly take a defensive attitude when signs of a turnaround show up. Traders who did well when markets were down will need to quickly change their methods to take advantage of markets that turn around and go up again.
Traders who can adapt their strategies to changes in the market direction by identifying forex trend reversals are likely to be successful in the Forex market. Therefore, follow our given techniques to make a wise choice in times of need. On top of everything, making sure of a planned move is the best thing to do.

Shores standout Floyd signs to play hoops at Liberty
Published: Friday, November 16, 2007 at 5:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2007 at 5:57 p.m.
OCALA — Shores Christian Academy star Brolin Floyd has made his college choice, signing a national letter of intent this week with Division I Liberty University.
Floyd, a 6-5, 210-pound guard, was a Star-Banner all-area second team selection as a junior, scoring 13.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
“I am excited about him going to Liberty,” Shores Christian head coach Danny Smith said on libertyflames.com, the school's official Web site. “He loves the family atmosphere at Liberty and he loves the relationship he has developed with Coach (Ritchie) McKay.”
“When you talk about finding a diamond in the rough, you can put a picture next to Brolin’s name,” stated McKay, who is in his first year as coach of the Lynchburg, Va., school. “I can’t tell you how excited I am that Brolin will be in a Liberty Flames uniform. He has a great body, size, strength and athleticism and a desire to be great. Along with a few other freshmen, I anticipate Brolin to have a major immediate impact on our team and program.”
Floyd joins Trinity Catholic's Matt Sauey as locals to sign in the NCAA's early period for national letters of intent, which began Wednesday and runs one week. Sauey accepted a scholarship offer from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.

The evidence of Michelle Yeoh’s global fame is right there onscreen in Everything Everywhere All at Once. In one of the film’s many alternate timelines, her character Evelyn Wang is an international movie star, with real footage of Yeoh’s red-carpet appearances spliced in as proof. And yet, for all her fame and unquestionable place in the film pantheon, Yeoh has never been nominated for an Oscar.
Could the wildly energetic Everything Everywhere All at Once be the movie that changes that? It won’t be simple: a specialty box office hit that wowed audiences at SXSW, the movie from directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert has all the trappings of the kind of genre-adjacent audience success that the Academy can’t bring themselves to embrace. But! The movie is truly great, and genuinely accessible despite its wild premise. And 25 years after her big breakthrough in Hollywood in Tomorrow Never Dies, Yeoh is long overdue for Academy recognition—and we all know how far an “overdue” narrative can get you.
On this week’s Little Gold Men podcast, Katey Rich and Chris Murphy share their enthusiasm for Yeoh as well as her castmates, including former child star Ke Huy Quan, who has an irresistible narrative of his own. They also join Richard Lawson to look ahead to this year’s Cannes Film Festival lineup, which was confirmed on Thursday and will include new films from David Cronenberg, James Gray, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Claire Denis, and George Miller–but, alas, nothing from David Lynch.
At the end of the episode, Katey speaks with Matt Belloni, a cofounder of Puck News and host of the podcast The Town, for one last take on this year’s Oscars, and how the Academy might be able to dig out of this hole.

CHARLESTON – Two Ohio County Republicans are vying for the chairmanship of the West Virginia GOP.
Ohio County Republican Executive Committee Chairwoman Elgine McArdle announced Monday morning she and Putnam County Republican Executive Committee Chairman Tony Hodge are running as co-chairs of the West Virginia Republican Executive Committee.
Dolph Santorine, a member of the West Virginia Republican Executive Committee representing the 1st Senatorial District, has also announced his intention to seek the state party chairmanship. Lizabeth Gregg-Badt, chairwoman of the Hancock County Republican Executive Committee, is running with Santorine as co-chair.
Newly elected members of the WVREC will meet in Charleston Saturday, July 30, to select new state party leadership for the next four years. Chairman Mark Harris, elected in March 2021 to serve the remainder of former chair Melody Potter’s term, will decline to see a full four-year term.
Santorine and McArdle are locked in a legal battle after McArdle refused to seat Santorine after he won election to the Ohio County Republican Executive Committee in May. Santorine sought election to the county party committee for the 2nd Magisterial District. Due to an error by the county, he was placed in the 1st District.
Ohio County officials acknowledged their error and certified the 2nd District election for Santorine, but the county party determined that it could not seat him for that district and encouraged him to submit his name for an appointment for an available seat for the 1st District. Santorine refused and filed suit in Ohio County Circuit Court, asking the court to mandate that the county party committee seat him.
Santorine is a Wheeling-based businessman, political organizer and previous candidate for the House of Delegates.
McArdle, a Wheeling-based attorney, has served on the WVREC since 2005 and is a past chair of the REC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee. She also has been a delegate to the Republican National Convention, both as a 2008 delegate and an alternate delegate in 2020.
