The world just keeps getting a little brighter.
This week I made an interesting discovery: recently, four Swedish cinemas have announced that they will be using the “A rating” in addition to the typical film ratings. If a film gets an A rating, that means it’s passed the Bechdel Test — a quick evaluation derived from Allison Bechdel’s 1985 cartoon strip, “Dykes to Watch Out For”. It’s a simple litmus test with three provisions:
- Does the film have two or more female characters?
- Do those female characters have a conversation?
- Is that conversation about something other than men?
The test does not qualify a film as a “feminist film”, or even that it’s a good film — in fact, a sexist movie could pass the Bechdel test, or vice versa, a feminist film could fail to pass the test. It is simply a tool to measure how often the film industry tells a woman’s story.
Why is this important?
It’s such a worn out idea, but it really is true: art does reflect reality. So if the majority of films are underrepresenting (or misrepresenting) women, then that says something about our society and where we places our values. Hollywood is very much a man’s world at the moment: statistically most films are about men, and most writers, producers, and directors are men. In a study in 2011, women made up 33% of characters in films, and only 11% of protagonists. For a world in which women make up about 50% of the population, this is an alarmingly uneven reflection of reality.
So the Bechdel test does not measure the film, it measures the industry. It is a way of looking at what is presented to the world, recognizing that it is lacking in a woman’s perspective, and saying, “Why is that the case?”
It’s important to realize that the significance is not in the rating of the film — it’s in the fact that it causes you to analyze the entire system. Not only are several cinemas picking up the “A rating”, but there is even talk of other ratings that would indicate if the director or writer is a woman. Hopefully, if more people start questioning why there aren’t more stories about women, or more female filmmakers, the film industry will step up its game. (I also realize that it does often boil down to who has the talent to create the films… but as I’ve mentioned in other posts, often there are plenty of talented filmmakers whose voices never get heard because they don’t have connections. Read: men helping men.)
We can also use the Bechdel test for minority groups: switch women and men for black people and white people and we start to see just how Caucasian-focused society is (if we haven’t already noticed that already, of course). Personally, I’d like there to be a rating for this, as well.
Do I think the A rating will actually affect the film industry? Maybe not directly. The A rating is not perfect, and I think it will take a long time to change how disproportionate the film industry is, no matter how many tests we throw at it. But I do think it’s important to try. And as long as we’re trying, the world will remain that little bit brighter.

Two bills to add energy efficiency programs at the State Energy Conservation Office, or SECO (under the Comptroller of Public Accounts), were discussed on the House Floor on the last days to get a House bill approved and sent to the Senate. Despite both bills being extremely modest in scope, the Texas Public Policy Foundation and the Texas Conservation Coalition, among others, targeted them. One failed on third reading while the other passed and has moved onto the Senate. Why? Let’s talk politics.

Norman Adams isn’t the kind of guy who is sensitive to smells, or much else. He wears cowboy boots and boasts of changing lots of his children’s and grandchildren’s diapers without gagging. But the smell that wafts on the southerly breeze from a waste treatment processor toward buildings he owns on West 11th Street is “like an open septic tank, or worse.”

For months we have been experiencing earthquakes in Irving. I no longer feel safe in my home. I live in fear every day. I wish all of the politicians in Austin could come to my house when it is being rocked by an earthquake. Many of my neighbors have significant damage that will cost thousands to repair. Our property values have plummeted.
On the House floor today, legislation to evaluate a so-called state water grid was resuscitated as an amendment to an unrelated water bill, SB 1301.
In response to this development, Ken Kramer, Water Resources Chair of Sierra Club’s Lone Star Chapter, issued the following statement:
In a national report released this week, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) ranked the top 51 cities in the United States for policies and programs designed to save energy – including in some cases water and gas. Five Texas cities made the list. While no Texas cities scored in the top five, several – including Austin and Houston – were near the top of the list.
Do you want to learn how to help conserve and enjoy the natural world around you? Join the Cross Timbers Sierra Club on May 26 to hear about the group, the Blackland Prairie Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists, and hike on the Greenbelt Corridor of Lake Ray Roberts State Park on May 30.
S.750 and H.R.1412 Are Too Extreme for the Borderlands. The Bush Administration took border militarization to the extreme when it waived 37 federal protections along the border. Unfortunately, pending legislation would take that waiver even further, exempting any surveillance or apprehension activity of the Border Patrol from “any” provision of law in some areas! Even the Border Patrol has opposed this kind of extreme proposal, stating that it can achieve its mission while working in compliance with public land laws such as the Wilderness Act.

Knowing everything doesn’t make us a fine personality but implementing and executing the knowledge in our lifestyle does. How many time in a day you judge people by their face? How many times you make statement on infinite people just by a glimpse of them? Yes, you do, may be in your mind… Ask yourself!!!

In a big move, India on Tuesday inaugurated 44 new bridges, including over a dozen new ones in strategically important regions of Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. Embroiled in the months-long stand-off with China, the Centre has been reinforcing infrastructure in border areas through extensive road and bridge-building over the past few months. As the Communist nation aligns 60,000 soldiers along the LAC border, sources have revealed that the Indian side is preparing for a long haul through winter.
Inaugurating the bridges at an online event, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, "You are well aware of the situation created along our northern and eastern borders. First Pakistan, and now also by China, as if a border dispute is being created under a mission. We have a border of about 7,000 km with these countries, where the tension remains."
"Our armed forces personnel are deployed in large numbers in areas where transport is not available throughout the year," he said. Officials have stated that the 7 strategic new bridges in Ladakh built by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) would considerably help the armed forces in the quick movement of troops.
The 43 bridges made by BRO include 10 in Jammu and Kashmir, eight in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh each, seven in Ladakh, four in Punjab, four in Sikkim, near the strategic Doklam Plateau and two in Himachal Pradesh. The Defence Minister also laid the foundation stone for the Nechiphu tunnel on the road to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh symbolically on Tuesday.
Earlier this year, news agency ANI had reported that the Army is looking to complete the work on the 255 Km-long strategic Darbuk-Shyok-Daulat Beg Oldie (DSDBO) road including eight bridges and its blacktopping at some of the stretches by the end of this year. The bridge connecting the Patrolling Point 14 in Galwan area with the territory across the Shyok river is also linked to the strategic road.
The seventh round of Senior Commanders meeting of India and China brought no major breakthrough in the border situation. The meeting was held on October 12 in Chushul on the Indian side of LAC and continued for more than 11 hours. It was the last round of meetings led by Lt. Gen Harinder Singh GOC 14 corps who handed over the command to Lt Gen PVK Menon the very next day of the meeting.

This past week I mostly spent working on my research project, which involves the design and construction of an electromechanical device to strengthen the genioglossus muscle so as to keep the upper airway from collapsing during sleep. When the upper airway collapses, cessation in breathing occurs. This in turn prompts the person to awaken momentarily. A person with severe obstructive sleep apnea may experience upwards of 30 or 40 such arousals an hour. These breathing episodes serve to disrupt a person’s sleep, leaving the person feeling groggy and lethargic the following day. Most of the device is finished. The major issue I foresee is making it user-friendly, not just for the patient but for the doctor. I still have to incorporate some feedback (visual or auditory or both) mechanisms. I also have to get the USB data logger to work and connect the device to a DAQ emulator. In this manner, data can be saved to a portable drive for later retrieval and analysis or displayed in real time. The choice will depend on the setting in which it is used, i.e. in the lab or in the patient’s home. I need to be able to read from the external drive in addition to writing to it so as to customize the training regime. The idea is that with time, the person’s upper airway becomes stronger, so initial baseline values need to be measured and stored. These baseline values need to be incorporated in the return of feedback, mostly as a consequence of limited resolution.
This past week I also met with my Ithaca PI’s collaborator here at Weill. Dr. Joseph Scandura works in the hematology and oncology departments, specializing in blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. He received his undergraduate training in electrical engineering and was surprisingly adroit when it came to engineering matters. He proposed a particularly elegant and novel way in which to implement PCR within channel-confined droplets. I hope to follow up his suggestion upon return to Ithaca as to my knowledge it represents a completely original solution to an important problem.

Last summer, diners at Fico, an Italian restaurant in Singapore, saw a new item on the menu: a chocolate gelato. But this wasn’t any normal gelato: it was made from Solein (pronounced ‘so-lean’). Or, in essence, thin air.
Solein comes from a special bacteria that, unlike regular bacteria, uses hydrogen rather than sugar as a source of energy, and carbon dioxide as a source of carbon. This bacteria can multiply quickly in a small space, creating a food source.
It is also creating quite a buzz. Being able to produce food from thin air could help tackle food shortages and feed the world’s growing population. It could allow some countries to increase their food self-sufficiency. And it could even be used to feed astronauts on long space missions. So how is it done?
Solar Foods, the company behind Solein, isolates the microbe, which is not genetically modified, and ferments it in a bioreactor. This process involves feeding the microbe in the same way you would feed a plant, but using hydrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen.
The bacteria is then submerged in water with small bubbles of carbon dioxide captured as a waste product from industrial processes. Nutrients including calcium, phosphorus, and potassium – the same nutrients that plants absorb through their roots – are also added to the water. Electricity is then used to hydrolyse water to create hydrogen gas, which the microbes use to metabolise.
The microbes multiply quickly as they are fed and the liquid thickens. This process is continuous but harvesting can take up to 70 hours. Small amounts of the thickened liquid are syphoned off and dehydrated, leaving a neutral-tasting bright yellow protein powder which looks a lot like turmeric. This is Solein.
Microbial protein production can provide great environmental benefits by reducing land and water use for food production
The yellow powder which, according to Solar Foods, is made up of whole cells that are up to 70 per cent protein, is considered a ‘novel’ food. Novel foods are any not consumed “significantly” in the EU prior to May 1997 and can include new foods, foods from new sources, new substances used in food as well as new ways and technologies for producing food.
Microbial protein production is not just being used for products intended for human consumption, however. Netherlands-based startup Deep Branch is using the same bacteria to create ingredients for animal feed. Its first product, Proton, is a single-cell protein developed to be a major ingredient in animal feed, making up between 10 and 20 per cent of the total volume.
The ability to produce food in small spaces brings many benefits, including the opportunity to reduce emissions. The food chain has, throughout history, relied on traditional agriculture as its source. However, agriculture is responsible for up to 30 per cent of total global emissions, according to Our World in Data. Disconnecting food production from agriculture by cultivating microbial protein sources could help reduce these emissions, according to Dr Jani Sillman, a post-doctoral researcher in Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology’s sustainability and science department. “Microbial protein production can provide great environmental benefits by reducing land and water use for food production,” he says.
Solar Foods believes the land efficiency for its product would be about 20,000 times greater than for traditional agriculture. Critics, however, have suggested the reality is closer to only 10 times greater land efficiency.
The other problem is that microbial protein production is extremely energy intensive.“If renewable energy is used, then this microbial protein production is likely to be much better for the planet than traditional agriculture,” Dr Sillman tells The Parliament, “but it becomes much more difficult to say if fossil fuels are used.”
He adds that the energy transition will be key to making microbial protein production more climate friendly than conventional farming in producing the same amount of nutrients.
There are other ways microbial protein production can help the environment – by reducing the area of land used for arable production. Freeing up land from intensive agricultural production can allow soil, one of the world’s largest carbon sinks, to regenerate and store more carbon than before.
Microbial protein production could also help tackle other problems, such as food shortages. Already 828 million people experience hunger every year. Climate change is expected to exacerbate food insecurity by causing more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, storms and heatwaves, that reduce crop yields. However, microbial protein sources are produced indoors in controlled conditions and are therefore not likely to be affected by climatic factors.
Singapore, which approved Solein for commercial sale in October 2022 and has one of the fastest regulatory approval processes for novel foods, is hoping the protein source will help in its battle against food insecurity.
The city-state imports 90 per cent of its population’s nutritional needs, making it vulnerable to fluctuations and shocks in the global food supply chain. Singapore has set a “30 by 30” goal to produce 30 per cent of the island’s food requirement by 2030, but using less than one per cent of the country’s land.
Singapore’s food agency says this will require “us to grow more with less, in a highly productive, climate-resilient, and resource-efficient way” – this could mean microbial protein production. This biotechnology could also be used to tackle food insecurity in less developed states, or transported there as an alternative protein source.
Microbial protein production is also, arguably, future-proof. For as long as the needed bacterium appears naturally or can be created, microbial protein can help fill the “massive, and growing, demand globally for protein”, Deep Branch CEO Rowe tells The Parliament.
“This could be used both to feed animals which are eventually eaten by humans, and for direct human consumption,” Rowe adds.
However, novel foods face a mountain of regulatory hurdles before they can be sold on commercial markets. In the European Union, novel food approval is a three-step process.
“Companies that want to sell novel foods must submit a dossier to the European Commission, which does a suitability test for the substance using a basic set of requirement,” Wolfgang Gelbmann, a scientific officer in the novel foods team of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), tells The Parliament.
“Once the Commission is satisfied, EFSA is invited to do a risk assessment of the substance,” he adds. “After a maximum of nine months, EFSA must publish a decision and the Commission has a further seven months to decide if the product should be made commercially available.”
Solar Foods is hoping to get an opinion from EFSA in 2024 which, if positive, could mean approval for Solein to be sold in the EU in 2025. But even when microbial protein sources are approved as novel foods for commercial sale, will consumers want to eat them?
Humans learn from early childhood that we prefer foods that are familiar to us. A food that is eaten internationally, but not in Europe, or is recognisable, such as insects, may still be considered familiar. However, new novel foods, such as protein made through microbial production, represent an entirely new food product. As a result, microbial protein sources are likely to have a slower uptake than recognisable novel foods, such as algae.
Nearly 77 per cent of European consumers say they would not swap meat for insects or lab-grown meat as a protein source, according to a study by the European Consumer Organisation. A further 13 per cent say they are unsure about making the switch.
Genetic modification-free plant-based alternatives (such as plant-based burgers) found greater acceptance. But nearly 44 per cent of respondents still say they are unwilling to replace meat with alternatives.
However, it is not just an aversion to novel foods that may stymie microbial protein production. We are being encouraged to eat more wholefoods and avoid processed products to live a long and healthy life; Netflix’s hit docuseries Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones is just one example of this messaging.
This means work will need to be done to change public perception around the nutritional validity of microbial protein sources. One way of tackling this issue is by partnering with major food manufacturing companies such as Nestlé and Unilever, according to senior vice-president of space and resilience at Solar Foods, Arttu Luukanen.
“These big-name companies can use the microbial protein as an ingredient in their products and then it goes to retail with their customers,” Luukanen tells The Parliament.
From the beginning of this year, Japanese food manufacturer Ajinomoto will start work on developing marketable products using Solein. Once these hurdles are overcome, microbial protein could become “essentially an infinite protein source”, Luukanen adds.
Solar Foods is hoping to start commercial production of Solein at Factory 01 in Vantaa in Finland in the first half of the year. And Deep Branch is hoping to make its first product, Proton, commercially available by 2030. US competitor AirProtein opened its first farm in San Leandro, California, in 2023. So it seems the protein ball is rolling.

HONOLULU (KHON2) — The state’s pre-travel testing program starts in 9 days, but KHON2 recently learned from the Governor’s Office that county mayors can decide to “opt out” of the program. Just a day after the governor denied Kauai’s request for a post-arrival test, there is some uncertainty over what happens next for the neighbor islands.
Get news on the go with KHON 2GO, KHON’s morning podcast, every morning at 8
Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami says an option to opt out of the state’s pre-travel test program is a new development, but says the county cannot commit to plans it does not fully understand and wants more details on what it would mean to “opt out.”
Here is Mayor Kawakami’s full statement regarding his decision on opting out of the program:
“We have not yet made a determination. Decisions must be deliberate and we can’t commit to plans we don’t fully understand. Our goal from the beginning has been to supplement the Governor and Lt. Governor’s statewide travel plan. The option to opt out is a recent development. As we understand it, our proposal was denied in part because the state aimed for consistency across the board, so visitors would not be confused. How does the option to opt out achieve that goal? If each county were to opt out, where does that leave the statewide travel plan? We need more details on what an “opt out” means for the counties, and whether that provides the option for us to implement a single-test post-arrival program.
“If we were to remain in the program, the Lt. Governor has committed to implementing enhanced testing post-arrival, such as a surveillance testing program, and we look forward to hearing details on how that will be implemented on October 15.
“Our goal is not to extend a mandatory 14-day quarantine in perpetuity. Our goal is to keep our community safe while we take a phased, responsible approach to reopening. We believed we could do that by offering an enhanced second-test program.”
In a news release, Hawaii Island Mayor Harry Kim said he and the other mayors discussed on Oct. 6 a two-test policy for transpacific travel, instead of the policy that goes into effect on October 15. He goes on to say they need time to work out the logistics and a decision would be made this week.
The Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce says the coast is very dependent on tourism and businesses have been preparing for visitors to come quarantine-free starting mid-October.
“They have contacted their suppliers, brought back their employees for training, getting everything ready to open,” said Wendy Laros, President of the Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce. “You know, it’s a very big deal. And so we were all counting on October 15th to actually be that date.”
While there are those who feel safer with a post-travel test in place, Laros says a few businesses are hanging in there for the upcoming reopening.
“If they took their resources and use them to launch their reopenings based on this October 15th date, and then we’re told that no, you’ve got to shut down again, that’s what will be devastating,” said Laros.
A spokesperson from Honolulu Mayor Caldwell’s Office says Oahu plans to participate in the pre-travel testing program, though testing twice would be preferred. The Maui Mayor’s Office says talks with the Governor’s Office are ongoing. The state says more information on pre-travel is expected to be available hopefully on Oct 7.

From an emergency command center at the Washington Township Fire Department Headquarters on East Holly Ave., Mayor Barbara Wallace said emergency responders, are working around the clock to battle Hurricane Sandy.
"We are monitoring the power outages, and the ones we know of have since been restored," Wallace said on Monday afternoon. "We're monitoring everything."
Wallace said there's only been one downed tree so far, on Shoppers Lane, and it has since been removed. Besides an already corrected issue on Nottingham Way, roads with notorious water drainage issues that are currently scheduled for repair in her capital road plan haven't seen major issues yet, Wallace said. She added they are also keeping their eye on "hot spots" in the township.
"We know where they are and what we have to do. The emergency folks are right on top of everything."
She said all six fire stations are fully staffed, 24/7, on Monday and Tuesday.
Wallace echoed the statements of local officials throughout the Delaware Valley, urging residents to stay off of the roads and only use 911 for true, life threatening emergencies.
She said trash pickup for the township, originally scheduled for Monday, is postponed until further notice.
Fire Chief John Hoffman, Police Chief Rafael Muniz, Emergency Management Coordinator Frank Campbell and Superintendent of Schools Bob Goldschmidt joined Wallace for a video briefing on the situation in the township on Sunday evening. In the briefing, uploaded on Youtube and shown on Channels 9 and 36, Wallace urged residents to bring all lawn furniture, signs, trash cans or anything that could be a projectile inside their homes or garages.
Leaves clogging storm drains may be an issue for flooding roads as well, Wallace said. While she recommended residents clear storm drains in front of their property if possible, she said people should not stand in water or risk their safety doing so.
"They need to be careful. I don't want [residents] standing in water, I want them to be safe," Wallace said. During the briefing, Hoffman also warned residents that downed power lines may be in areas of standing water. He also urged residents that in the case of a power outage, candles should only be used with extreme caution and generators should only be used outdoors.
Wallace said they will continually tape and post updated briefings online and on television throughout today and tomorrow. Residents can also check the township's website, http://www.twp.washington.nj.us, for more updates. For those without internet access or power, Wallace said the township is also sending out robocalls to update residents.

Posted on 01/27/2014 7:49:54 AM PST by Kaslin
Women should be allowed to carry concealed firearms on college campuses. Instead, President Obama favors Gun Free Zones, which endanger womens health.
One in five female college students are sexually assaulted or raped according to a new report issued last week by the White House Council on Women and Girls. Declaring that sexual assault affects every one of us, Obama picked up his pen and signed a piece of paper (a memorandum) calling for the creation of a campus rape response task force.
Sure, this token effort could help Obamas party appeal to female voters during a midterm election year. Or, Obamas memorandum could give 2016 Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton (shhhhh, nobody knows!) something to strut about as she tours the country promoting her No Ceilings project to bring abuses against women out of the shadows.
But what real good will a memorandum or initiative do if it doesnt include arming women? Young women are sexually assaulted on college campuses in part because college campuses are Gun Free Zones.
An unscrupulous college student who is looking for a one night stand can easily take advantage of a drunk or high college student at a party. He knows that her sober friends or DD (designated driver) wont be armed or able to protect her if he can get her alone for ten minutes.
Alternatively, a non-student sex offender could prowl college campuses looking for easy, unarmed targets. This is exactly what happened to Amanda Collins, a concealed carry permit holder, who was raped at gunpoint in a Gun Free Zone. Collins is a living testimony to the fact that Obamas gun control policy renders women defenseless and more susceptible to sexual assault and rape. She told Fox News, I was legislated into being a victim.
During her senior year of college at the University of Nevada Reno in October of 2007, Collins was walking back to her vehicle in a parking garage after a night class. She told Fox News that she was: less than 100 feet away from the campus police office and parked on same level of the parking lot where the police parked their cruisers. Even so, the police were not close enough to help Collins that night; she needed her own gun.
Collins attacker specifically went to a place where he knew young women would be unarmed, much like the shooter Adam Landza did in the Newtown tragedy. So, while Collins was permitted to carry and trained in self-defense with a firearm, she was unable to carry her firearm where she needed it the most, her college campus.
According to the White Houses recent report, the men who commit sexual assault often take more than one victim. The report referenced a study showing that among the male college students who admitted to attempted rape, 63 percent confessed to an average of six rapes. While only 7 percent of college males admitted to attempted rape, the majority were serial offenders. This subset of serially violent men is clearly bereft of morals or respect for the law. Thus, they will only be stopped by a threat stronger than a law scrolled on a piece of paper. Serial sex offenders need the threat of lethal force.
Whether the perpetrators of sexual assault are college students or not, they appear to be mentally unstable men who have a thirst for committing repeat violence. For example, the man who attacked Collins raped her at gunpoint and then continued to hurt more women: he kidnapped and raped a second woman and then raped and murdered a third woman.
When Foxs Megyn Kelly asked Collins: Why do you believe that if you had a firearm on you at that time that you may have prevented the rape? Collins responded: To be honest, with the way I was grabbed [from behind and then her attacker placed a gun to her temple], I dont think I would have been able to prevent my attack from starting but had I had been carrying that night I know at some point during my attack I would have been able to stop my attack in progress.
Collins testified against CO Bill (HB 1226) that would have banned concealed carry weaponseven by permit holderson public college campuses including stadiums or arenas used by public campuses. During the her testimony, CO State Sen. Evie Hudak (D) told Collins: statistics are not on your side, even if you had had a gun for every one woman who used a handgun to kill someone in self-defense, eighty-three were murdered by them.
Collins responded: Respectfully, Senator, you werent there. I know without a doubt in my mind, at some point I would have been able to stop my attack by using my firearm. He already had a weapon of his own. He didnt need mine.
Its time for liberals like Obama who feign to help women fight against sexual abuse to start defending womens God-given, Second Amendment right to bear arms and carry concealed. Abolish Gun Free Zones and support conceal carry permits on campus and well have fewer sexual assaults.
But today, I suspect most women on campus don't wear a bra..
Women, but not men. That’s kinda stupid.
One in five female college students are sexually assaulted...
Besides, most of what passes for 'sexual assault & rape' on campuses these days in hardly qualifies one for a death sentence.
I don't believe this for a second unless we are defining "sexual assault" so broad as to be ridiculous.
Everyone should be prepared to defend themselves.
I think you’re talking about the bra holster ..and my wife, who passed Conceal Carry this past weekend ..ordered one from a gun show vendor yesterday!!
“No” works pretty well, but when “NO” doesn’t work “S&W” does.
And for Christ’s sakes don’t put yourself at risk to begin with.
It’s tough on the kids and it’s tough on the furniture.
I was in Boston two or three years ago and heard college age chicks giggling on the local public transit system. It was the day after the Super Bowl in which the Patriots lost. She admitted not knowing who won or lost because “I was so drunk I passed out by halftime” and “woke up in some guy’s bed...” Nice talk out in the open. I guess she is, or could have been, a victim.
To get numbers like this, they ask questions like, "Have you ever felt threatened in a sexual manner by a male on campus?" "Have you ever been subjected to inappropriate sexual comments or innuendo?" and they count all yesses as equivalent to rape.
If a gun can be used to discourage an overly amorous college freshman then it should made be available to ward off aggressive panhandlers or deranged angry homeless guys.
It's a rhetorical technique.
First, you shock liberals with the idea that little college age women can actually handle a gun.
Second, you force them to try to justify why liberals would let little college girls get raped instead of letting them carry a gun.
Then, once little college girls can carry guns, you point out that it's ridiculous, illogical and unconstitutional that men shouldn't have the same right.
Most women are better shots. Imagine a weirdo on campus trying to cause evil, with women wearing these bras and the Momma-Griz instinct IMHO the weirdo wouldn't have a chance...
No works better.
When No does not work S&W does.
You had better reach for “No” first.
Taken at a WalMart in Buffalo, NY.
Liberals problem is that they think anyone with a gun has no self control.
They think people are incapable of saying NO.
The gun is just backup.
Yes..that’s it..thanks..you should post a thread how it works, and works out..
Split second decisions should be based on a life time of study.
All part of the REAL war on women by Democrats.
Of course, given that 73% of rapists (like most criminals) are Democrats or would vote Democrat if given the chance, perhaps the Democrats are just playing to their base.
Should my bride model if for the forum????
That was my first though as well.
But upon consideration, I'm all for it.
Once we've established that women have the absolute right to have the means to defend themselves, it's only a baby step to enfranchise men!
Ooooo! I missed a couple steps. Thanks!
Ah. The Flashbang holster.
My Wife has one, but prefers to carry in her Old Faithful hip OWB holster.
The Flashbang was just too much of a pain for her to use.
She carries the Springfield XDs in .45 ACP.
purely for scientific research purposes...
“Women, but not men. Thats kinda stupid”
I’m a woman and exceptions like these make me crazy. In my concealed weapons class we were told that men basically have to be near death before they can defend themselves but women have a wide margin since they are weaker than their attacker.
Any person, male or female, should have the right to defend themselves without worrying how close to death they actually are.
Yes, the flashbang. I’m thinking this holster is more of an image thing ..you know, something hot about a good looking woman who packs
Hence the name flash-bang ..
I'd like to see the source of those numbers, complete with said statistical analysis as to how it was so robust as to justify two significant figures.
I have ‘arrived’ at the age where my self flotation devices make for good ‘hiding’ spots for carrying a velcro type wrap around belt and holster.
At present I am able to carry under my ‘left useless mass’ with no one being the wiser, the butt basically stays under the pocket and with pad and pen in pocket, very nicely concealed AND unbutton one button and you are at the piece almost immediately..
And with the SR 38sp hammerless, absolutely NO snags while drawing.
Of course if I were to wear a ‘Bro’ it wouldn’t fit as snug.
Still it amounts to the same thing.
The murder rate in DC is 59/100,000. Across the river in Virginia it is 1.6/100,000.
I believe that was exactly the point. When the rapists couldn’t tell an easy victim from an armed one, the rate dropped.
Oh great! Then once a month, all guys run scared!!
this is bullsh1t.
self defense rights are not about gender-privileges.
we can also point that men get into more altercations than women, therefore, men ought to be armed to be able to defend themselves from attack.
either everyone carries or nobody does.
i don’t want to be disarmed with a bunch of scared, inexperienced over-reacting women pulling out guns with very light trigger safeties.
for some that’s most or all of the month.
there are plenty of guys who qualify. older. disabled. dealing with an injury. legally blind without glasses. small. if they are outnumbered. if they are ambushed/attacked by surprise.
all of these are disparity of force issues. that allow a victim to use potentially greater force than what their attacker may have/may have used.
Split second decisions should be based on a life time of study.
Says someone OBVISIOUSLY has a very high "T" level!
And 3 of those were drunk over the weekend!
Watch out fer them deep cleavage gals!
Nah... doesn't quite have the same pizazz to it.
Was this a LEGAL description?
BAck in the day; if I got ‘flashed’; I figgered she WANTED banged!

China adopts tourism law to protect rights of tourists
The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) approved the bill at its bi-monthly three-day session. The law is expected to take effect from October 1.
The long-awaited move is designed to regulate the tourism market, safeguard tourists’ rights and interests, ensure reasonable use of resources, and foster the industry’s sustainable and healthy growth, the NPC’s Law Committee said.
The new law outlines measures to address key problems, unfair competition, sudden price hikes, and forced purchases, which have plagued the travel industry and aroused strong public discontent.
Focusing on curbing unnecessary price increases at some sites, the law introduces a compulsory public hearing procedure before any price rise.
According to the law, tourism sites developed using public resources should "strictly control rises in entrance fees or other additional charges." They will also have to hold public hearings if they plan to raise prices to prove the new fee is necessary.
In addition, the law says tourism sites should warn the public if the number of visitors to a site is expected to reach maximum capacity, and ensure public safety in peak periods such as national holidays.
Operations could be suspended for six months at areas that fail to issue warnings and take necessary measures to ease the flow of visitors or for those that take in tourists in excess of their maximum capacity.
It also imposes a three-year ban on companies who are found to have tricked or forced tourists to make purchases during trips, or that unnecessarily change tour itineraries.
Local governments are required to assign or set up special organizations for receiving related complaints.
China’s domestic travel market is the world’s largest. Statistics from the tourism authorities show that domestic trips totaled nearly 3 billion in 2012.

FDA Report Finds a 25 Percent Increase in Amended Food Notices; Salmonella Remains at the Top
Once a company reports a food hazard to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), what happens? What is the degree of follow up? According to the FDA’s Second Annual Reportable Food Registry Report, companies are increasingly staying in touch with the agency and attempting to understand what went wrong and find solutions. Since last year’s report, the rate at which companies amend their notices has increased by 25 percent.
According to industry experts, this increase suggests more facilities are looking into problems more often and following up on them with FDA. The follow up is especially important given the recent rise in imported food and drug products and increasing instances of foodborne illness outbreaks. Amended notices indicate that companies are working to review problems and their causes. Over time, these investigations and follow up reviews will limit the chances of similar problems occurring in the future.
Domestic and foreign food makers are required to report hazardous food products. FDA believes that the launch of the Reportable Food Registry has increased the speed with which federal, state and local officials investigate and recall food. The registry also helps the agency’s ability in understanding food supply chains.
FDA plans to continue to collect additional years of data to further identify trends. For example, Salmonella, undeclared allergens and Listeria contamination topped charts for two years in a row. The passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) will introduce new elements that will further enhance this program.
FDA’s annual report serves as a valuable reminder that response and prevention methods are key measures to successfully managing product recalls and preventing foodborne illnesses.
What do you think of FDA’s reportable food registry? Do you think it is helpful in identifying key risk points in the industry? How would your company implement improved recall procedures as a result of the report’s findings? We welcome your comments below.

Ambience at the Romantik Landhotel Bärenmühle
Pure romanticism in the home of the Brothers Grimm
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm are known all over the world, but they have their roots in the Grimm country of northern Hesse. This picture-book landscape once served as a model for Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s world-famous fairy tales, which they collected in the picturesque area around Kassel. One of their fairy tales may have originated in the Lengeltal valley, just a few hundred yards from the Bärenmühle – here, the Huguenots told each other the tale of the wolf and the two (!) little goats…
This part of northern Hesse has retained its unique charm to this day and is regarded as one of Germany’s most beautiful hilly landscapes. Romantic half-timbered buildings, a mediaeval town centre and formidable castles take visitors back to a time when wishes made a difference.
- Huguenot colony in Louisendorf with a delightful little half-timbered church built in 1703
- Kellerwald-Edersee National Park and World Heritage Site with ancient beech forests and the picturesque Edersee reservoir
- Frankenberg old town, half-timbered town hall with ten towers built in 1509, the museum in the monastery with works by Reformation sculptor Philipp Soldan, and the chair museum dedicated to the once world-famous Thonet furniture company.
- Haina Cistercian monastery, Romanesque/Gothic monastery church with the Philipp stone – an impressive stone relief from the Reformation era – and 13th century choir stalls; cloister, psychiatry museum and exhibition about the painter Johann Wilhelm Tischbein, who was born here and painted the world-famous picture of Goethe in the Campagna.
- Bad Wildungen – formerly the Kaiser Wilhelm Spa – with spa promenade, grand neo-classical buildings, a spa museum and an altarpiece painted by Konrad von Soest in 1403 (with the first depiction of someone wearing glasses).
- Bad Arolsen with a princely palace – a small Versailles tucked behind the forest, baroque town centre and various museums, including the birthplace of the sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch.
- Fritzlar with its Catholic cathedral, cathedral treasury and mediaeval town walls.
- Kassel with the Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, a World Heritage Site, complete with Hercules monument, and an array of museums, including Grimm World, a museum about the life and works of the Brothers Grimm.
- Frankenberg 11.00 km
- Bad Wildungen 20.00 km
- Fritzlar 35.00 km
- Kassel 70.00 km

Hi, Is there any chance you could consider adding travel trails to your map plugin? Our travel agency could use a map that shows dots that detail where the tour goes from place to place. So an arrow with dots trailing behind it to show where the tour goes. An animated travel line would be even better.
Thank you for your suggestion, we have just confirmed with our support team that is a feature suggestion for Super Interactive Maps plugin, we’ll forward to our devs team so they can have a closer look, also animated line and animation is not supported by Google GeoChart API as the plugin was being made from, although, we’ll see any updates from Google that will allow this feature in the near future.

Fresh off of winning its first Conference Carolinas title, the Belmont Abbey baseball team is ranked 19th in the country according to the lastest rankings by Ping Baseball. It is the highest national ranking in the program's history.
Belmont Abbey captured its first league title with a 7-2 win over Erskine in the Conference Carolinas Championship game. The Abbey battled its way back from the losers bracket and won six-straight games, including five in two days, to capture the title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Southeast Regionals.

Fact check: Tweet endorsing shoplifting as a way to prevent spread of COVID-19 is a fake
The claim: The CDC tweeted it's "more ethical to shoplift" and leave the store to prevent the spread of COVID-19 than it is to wait in line and pay
An Instagram post claims the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested shoplifting to save lives this holiday season.
"It is more ethical to shoplift and leave the store to prevent the spread of COVID-19 than it is to wait in line and pay. Please protect others," a tweet purportedly sent from the CDC's official Twitter account reads.
A screenshot of the tweet was shared to Instagram. The account that shared it told USA TODAY that the post was a joke.
Fact check:Yes, employers can require that workers receive the COVID-19 vaccine
Tweet is fake
Belsie González, a senior public affairs specialist for the CDC, told USA TODAY that the tweet is fake.
"The tweet you described is not from any CDC source, it does not come from our Twitter account or any other CDC official channel," González said in an email.
An advanced search of the CDC's Twitter posts confirmed that the agency has not made any tweets that includes the word "shoplift" or the phrase "more ethical to shoplift."
The sham tweet appears to have originated on the Instagram of comedic writer Cory Snearowski, who shared the fake screenshot and other purportedly fake CDC tweets in a Twitter thread.
Snearowski did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
Before Thanksgiving, the CDC released coronavirus-friendly shopping guidelines, suggesting people shop online during Black Friday and the holiday season and use curbside pick-up or other contactless services to retrieve those items. It also suggested limiting in-person shopping to open air markets, while remaining masked and 6-feet away from other shoppers. Other CDC holiday guidelines can be found here.
