Morgan Freeman and the #MeToo Whispers/
Estimated Reading TIme: 3 minutes 11 seconds
"I HEAR A VERY GENTLE SOUND, VERY NEAR YET VERY FAR, VERY SOFT, YEAH, VERY CLEAR" - WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER by THE DOORS
Since October of last year when the Harvey Weinstein sex abuse scandal hit the mainstream, the #MeToo movement has been dominating headlines as a cavalcade of famous men faced allegations of having sexually harassed or assaulted numerous people. Besides Weinstein, there was Bret Ratner, Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey, Charlie Rose, James Toback, Dustin Hoffman, Jeremy Piven, Jeffrey Tambor, Al Franken, John Conyers and Roy Moore to name just a few.
The #MeToo headlines have abated quite a bit in recent months, but while keeping my ear to the ground out here in Hollywood I have heard the whispers that there is a new target who is being lined up in the #MeToo crosshairs by some major news outlets.
According to my sources, the man who may be next up to the guillotine is none other than beloved Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman. I am not saying that Morgan Freeman has done anything wrong or is a sexual aggressor or anything of the sort, I have seen no proof of that and have only heard rumor and innuendo. What I am saying is that there are journalists actively investigating Morgan Freeman and claims of sexually inappropriate behavior on his part with co-workers and underlings.
To be clear, I am not Woodward and Bernstein, nor am I Cindy Adams, I am just a guy who writes opinion pieces in a fruitless search for truth. That said, the rumblings out here in La La Land are loud enough that I was able to pick up on them, which means that something is afoot.
While the media sharks are definitely in the water, that does not mean they will be able to conclusively verify any claims against Morgan Freeman. I have also heard that many women are hesitant to come forward for a variety of reasons, some of which include Freeman's respected standing in the industry, his "good guy" persona, and interestingly, his race. If the story about Freeman does indeed break, he would be the highest profile African-American man to have been named in the recent wave of #MeToo allegations, and would join Bill Cosby in infamy, which for some, complicates the situation.
"I HEAR A VERY GENTLE SOUND, WITH YOUR EAR DOWN TO THE GROUND" - WHEN THE MUSIC'S OVER by THE DOORS
I have been contemplating writing about this topic for the last week, then synchronistically, today I woke up to an unrelated yet strange story about claims of an inappropriate sexual relationship in the past between Morgan Freeman and his step-grand daughter E'Dina Hines (by his first wife Jeannette Bradshaw).
Ms. Hines was murdered in 2015 at the age of 33, allegedly by her boyfriend Lamar Davenport. Mr. Davenport's attorneys in his current murder trial have released a series of cryptic texts between Hines and Davenport that they say hint at a sexual relationship between Morgan Freeman and Ms. Hines that Davenport claims existed. When, where and Ms. Hines age when the relationship allegedly occurred are not revealed in the story. Freeman vehemently denies all allegations of a sexual relationship with Hines.
The Freeman-Hines relationship made news back in 2012 when some tabloids reported that Freeman was actually going to marry his then 27 year old step-granddaughter, with whom, they claimed, he had been in a relationship for a decade…meaning it began when she was 17 and he was 64.
I do wonder if this story of an alleged sexual relationship between Freeman and his step-granddaugther E'Dina Hines being back in the news will be the impetus for more women in Hollywood to come forward with claims Morgan Freeman harassed them, or will compel those already in contact with journalists to be more forth coming.
Though I greatly admire Morgan Freeman as an actor and like him as a public entity, I do not know him nor have I ever met him. Hopefully I am misinformed about reporters digging into Freeman's sexual history in the workplace and the stories I've heard of his behavior are wildly overblown or entirely inaccurate, who knows? But from all I have been able to piece together so far, I have a sinking feeling that the whispers i am hearing combined with this bizarre step-granddaughter story I read this morning, are the tip of a very large iceberg, and Morgan Freeman's reputation/career is the Titanic heading straight for it.

Yoga Practice: A Prudent Investment of Time
I often feel like I'm living in a time warp. It seems like just yesterday I was awaiting the birth of my first child and all of the sudden she is driving herself to school. In the blink of an eye, I started teaching yoga, had two more children, and here I am with over a decade of experience as Blossom Program Manager under my belt. Committing eight months to the Dharma Path Advanced Studies (DPAS) program seemed like taking a huge chunk of time out of my life and now just a few weeks away from our closing circle, it seems like it wasn't that much time at all. I feel like I wake up every morning and all of the sudden I'm back in bed again. And yet, I do remember those never ending days of childhood. I'm reminded of them every time one of my kiddos complains of boredom. My mom once said that time just seems to go faster the older you get. So far I have to strongly agree, which scares me a bit- I'm not sure I can handle things going any faster!
I can fully understand how challenging it can be, particularly in the busyness of Silicon Valley, to race the clock in a valiant attempt to accomplish all of the things we are "supposed to" do. But what do we gain from all of this rushing? Are we able to be fully present in the moment? Does it bring joy?
At this stage in my life, I have a huge load of responsibilities. Nevertheless, I've learned to be okay with not getting Everything done. Every tomorrow provides another chance. And sometimes those tomorrows spread out into weeks, months….and so here I am, finally getting back to blogging after two plus months since my last post. In that time, I completed my DPAS Practicum project, spent much needed time with my kids over their spring break, and started preparing for our next Lotus Blossom Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training, the 100-hour mentorship program I offer with my colleague Hillary, which starts June 1. I accomplished ENOUGH. Too much, maybe. I practice mindfulness every. single. day. I reflect on what is truly important to me and use that to prioritize. Still, I rush around a little more than what is comfortable. (Life is a work in progress, isn't it?)
The concept of "stealing time" is something we have discussed at length in DPAS, specifically in regards to starting and ending classes on time. When classes run significantly over the time students expect it to end, teachers are stealing their students' time. I have to admit, this is something I am working on. My classes are one of my highest priorities, and it's a rare occasion that I am not at the studio at least 15 minutes before my classes start. However, it's not a rare occasion to have many students trickling in the first 20 minutes, or even later! That makes it quite the challenge to start on time (and then end on time)! I honor the unpredictability of life, the challenge to "get everything done," and of course, all of the changes that pregnancy brings- it can take time to adjust to the slowing down of the pregnant body, especially when everything else in the world is moving so quickly. Still, I find it ironic that moms are rushing to make it to class, squeezing in a practice that at its heart is about building moment to moment awareness to "move into stillness" in the words of Yoga Master, Erich Schiffmann.
I worry that some of my students may be missing the point and therefore the benefits of yoga. I wonder what I can do to support all of my students to not just prioritize their practice, but really prioritize themselves by committing to their practice! The check-in is not an optional time- it's the opportunity to build community and for me to understand what my students' needs are and tailor the practice accordingly. If I understand what my students are feeling each class, I can serve them better. Sivasana, our restorative pose at the end of the practice, is not optional either. In any yoga practice, it's considered the most important pose. The physical postures are about creating an awareness of breath and body in order to move into the final resting meditation. And what pregnant mom doesn't need rest!?
In a world that is moving so quickly, it's more important than ever to savor each and every moment. If you are struggling with time management- to get to class or in any other area of your life- I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on what is important to you and set boundaries around your needs. Moms deserve to get the most out of their practice- the people who depend on them (especially baby!) benefit, too. The quality of life improves immensely when we are able to take a deep breath, think critically about what matters most, and prioritize those things. There are even studies that prove meditation creates more efficiency at work. Taking the time for yoga practice is a great return investment of time!

Adding to my new series "collections" here's collection 02. This grouping is really interesting to me because in my mind each of these pieces is just so different. And yet when I see them together with some distance between myself and the work, I can see my hand, my marks, my colors.
Creating these collections, really helps me see my tendencies. I notice what colors I use again and again. For example I knew I had a thing for this vermilion orange but I never thought of myself as a pink person and yet pink shows up in my work again and again. (Hence the new colors on my website and blog here.) I'm also noticing what kinds of marks I naturally make whether I'm holding a paintbrush, a palette knife, or a pencil.
Three of these four pieces are from June of 2015 and the fourth is from June of 2016. I find that fascinating. I had no idea when I put the four together when I painted each one except to say this year and last year! I guess they all have a summer vibe.
The abstract comes from a series of three. I was using some tribal prints and fabrics as inspiration for shape and pattern. This one is titled 'outer body experience' as I barely remember making it and it felt as if the whole thing just sort of painted itself.
The landscape is also from a series. Oil paints always seem like such a hassle to me but then on the other hand they have such a beautiful look. When I paint with oils my natural tendency is to use the palette knife and mix right on the canvas. At least that saves brush clean up! I find these palette knife paintings very meditative and I did many over that summer. This one is called summer sunset and loosely based on a photo I took.
After doing lots of landscapes and abstracts I started to notice how rocks can look like little landscapes themselves. I began an agate series and this was the very first agate I painted. That was such a fun series and so this one is kinda special to me.
And then last is the portrait of Steve Wolfe. It's part of my Monday Mournings series but it's the only one painted on an old book. The book is an old children's dictionary. If you look at Steve Wolf's art (he painted books, trompe l'oeil style, like you might reach into the page and open it!) it seemed fitting to put his portrait on an old book and was a nice change after painting about 20 portraits on panel.
So a few surprises for me in this collection...yellow! Yellow is not a color I use often but apparently I do use it. And when I do, I prefer a mustard or a yellow green. The brush strokes! They're broad and expressive. This collection is a little more loose than some of my other work and I like that.

Here's the Trucker in tour mode. During mt summer your last July. Unbolt all the racking and it makes a great winter bike.
Its hanging in the store window today. Thinking its got all winter off.
It will be happy to hear different.
|945am Crosspinky gets the call.
I was on the fence when I woke weather to ride or not. Temps were up this morn so off I went. Cross bike route.
Once the dew and the little bit of fog burned off the sun was out and warm. I was a bit cold riding out of town but I know that meant I was dressed correctly and the arm warmers got rolled down in no time.
Trees still are awesome and I hope that holds thru next weekend. This little tree in the pic above sure did a good job on its colors so I thought I would stop by it for a bit. Im already thinking of another day trip before this is all done. Will give it some thought.
The change of seasons also means a bike change.
Summer is mostly road bikes with MTB mixed in. Ten years ago for me that was the other way around. Now,in the heat of summer I'll ride the road bike 5 times to once on the MTB.
All of a sudden the temps cool and the road group rides start to dwindle. Last Saturday it was down to 7 or 8. From 20+. I just heard that the Wednesday Nite Worlds Social Group Ride last nite was down to one. Time to put away the road bikes. My Domane is getting detailed today, never to have me throw a leg over it again. Its for sale. That demo was my fav and I do hate to see it go.
So today starts the cross bike exclusively On the road or otherwise. I wont peddle a road bike until next April or May. Now, the MTB comes in also. My bike ratio today is about 50\50 cross and MTB. But soon the MTB will be gone also under the same demo program as the Domane.
Then it will be cross only until the beach freezes. All the way into late Nov(ish).
At that point I ditch the cross bike and its skinny tires for my tour bike. Yep, the Surly Disc Trucker will then get all the tour racking stripped off and since its a 26in wheel, will get a 2.0 MTB tire for the beach winter rides. And that bike will take me back into spring when my cycle of bikes starts over again.
This is all according to plan. Well before any certain bike gets used its prepped and ready for weeks before, just waiting to get called into action. I overhauled Crosspinky with a new driveline and wheels a month ago. Waiting for this day to come.
Soon I will prep the Trucker. Take off all racks and throw on some fat tires. And it will be ready to go when its winter on the beach.
I do have an ace in the hole to play at some point soon. I sold my Pug and now only have the Moonlander and plan on using it to fill any voids between Crosspinky and the Trucker. That bike will come out when the leaves are all down. Maybe sooner....
Its good to own a bike store when you like riding bikes.

At Casana, we believe that great fashion tells a story, and our new 2015 collection fully embraces this belief. Exploring the ethereal intersection of culture, history and nature, each new pattern pays tribute to a place and a poignant moment in time. From the rich, soul-searching culture of ancient Aztecs to the exotic, untouched coastlines of Southeast Asia that our founder Carrie Chen frequented as a child, a story of admiration and intrigue unfolds in each cashmere scarf. With six new intricate patterns and 12 colorways (and plenty of beautiful ways to wear the scarves!), we hope our new collection inspires women everywhere to live boldly and memorably.
Read a little more about the inspiration behind each design:
Azulejo is a centuries-old tile motif that adorns everything from walls of churches and monasteries to palaces, houses, park seats and railway stations throughout Spain and Portugal. They often portray beautiful landscapes, scenes from history or dramatic architecture. Inspired by their classic and cultured detailing, Carrie reinterpreted the traditional characteristics with a decidingly feminine touch.
Paisley, a droplet-shaped vegetable motif originally of Persian descent (and then named after Paisley, a West Scotland town where the textile patterns were produced in the 18th century) is often characterized by colorful and curvy abstract figures. Here, the popular pattern is given a moody color palette and an intricate, refined design.
After much time spent in Nepal, with its large population of Hindus, Carrie was drawn to the Chintz pattern worn by the local Hindi women. The motif originated from India in 16th century, and it is still used for bed covers, quilts and draperies today. Commonly presented as a brightly colored floral pattern on a light background, our version both light and dark backgrounds for a sophisticated interpretation.
For ancient Aztecs, every symbol had a meaning that was connected to a spirit or a message from the past. Carrie chose a rose motif, often denoted as a symbol for life, and set it within vibrant, Southwest-inspired colors to embody the true essence of its meaning. Great for use as a headscarf or draping loosely around your neck, this high-style cashmere scarf is one-of-a-kind and sure to make a chic statement.
The exotic bird and flora pattern is a wearable reminder of nature's immense and vast beauty, inspired by designer Carrie Chen's childhood holidays to Southeast Asia. With so many of us cherishing fond memories made during coastal holidays with friends and family, this scarf's design is highly personal.
Admired by many for its bright and varying beauty, the colorful frangipani flower is used on tropical islands for stringing beautiful, fragrant leis. In modern Polynesian culture, the flower is worn by women to indicate their relationship status—over the right ear if seeking a relationship and over the left if taken. Here, the flower mixes gorgeously amongst ferns and tropical colors in a lightweight wool and modal blend that can be worn effortlessly on a vacation or in everyday life.

All eyes are on Texas as the election approaches – and they are especially focused on Latin@s. Hidalgo County continues to outperform urban counties across the state, but especially in this election, certain assumptions about Latinas have brought doubt into the conversation.
If you've had a conversation about the importance of a demographic shift, it's likely you've heard that Democrats shouldn't take the Latin@ vote for granted – and that's true. Like any other group, Latin@s are as varied as they are important to the future of our state. But that's not what gives people pause. Instead, it's an assumption about faith.
When speculating about the ability of Wendy Davis to win over Latin@s, her 2013 filibuster against the omnibus abortion bill inevitably comes up as a barrier for Latin@ voters. It's an obstacle, you've probably heard, because of Latin@s and their Catholic faith. The question is always presented as, "How will Davis get past her filibuster fame to appeal to Latin@s?" but a new Texas poll by the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health tells a different story.
In a survey of likely Latin@ voters in Texas, the poll attempted to break through the idea of the Latin@ monolith to get to the truth of their experiences. Using questions aimed at taking reproductive justice out of the realm of policy and into their reality and that of their friends and families, Latin@s in Texas have a much more nuanced view of abortion and reproductive healthcare than most pundits give them credit for.
Especially when placed within the context of personal choice and preparedness for parenthood, the survey found, the majority of Latin@s believe abortion should be accessible, legal, and that they hope that any friend or family member who chooses to have an abortion will be supported and loved.
The NLIRH also compared the results of the recent Texas poll to those from a nation poll taken in 2011. Along with a tendency to assume that Latin@s as a whole are more conservative than their white counterparts, many also assume that Texas Latin@s are especially so when compared with their Latina counterparts around the country. In fact, the poll found, when Texas Latin@s don't mirror their national peers, it is because they are more invested in abortion access, care, and choice than other Latin@s around the country.
For example, Latin@s in Texas are more likely than their national counterparts to think that politicians should stay out of women's personal healthcare decisions. A whopping 78% of Latin@s surveyed in the Texas poll agreed with this. This is especially stark when it comes to the people they care most about.
Seventy-three percent of Texas Latinas would support a close friend or family member if they shared that they had had an abortion. This is thirteen percent higher than the number of Latinas in the 2011 national poll who said they felt the same. Where 43% of the national sample said they would provide "a lot of support," 58% of Latina Texans would offer that support to their friend or family member.
Further, a majority of Latin@s surveyed by NLIRH feel that the laws passing across the country are taking us in the wrong direction. They don't believe that politicians have a right to interfere, and this is especially true when presented in the context of preparedness to parent.
Abortion is often presented in a vacuum where the debate centers on theoretical and religious ideas about conception and life. But when asked whether a person should be judged if they felt like they were simply not ready to become a parent, seventy-five percent of Latin@s said no.
Birth control and abortion are two topics that the Catholic church has not shied away from discussing, though the new Pope certainly seems interested in engaging with the dialogue. Many people assume that because the church has so often been seen to promote conservative beliefs and practices when it comes to family planning that Latin@s will agree, and that this will show up at the ballot box.
Instead, NLIRH found, Latin@s are highly supportive of access to both birth control and abortion. Not only did seventy-six percent of those surveyed believe that birth control was an aspect of "basic" healthcare that should be covered by health insurance regardless of who you work for, a majority of Latin@s in the poll also believe that all insurance plans – even those funded by the government – should cover a "full range" of reproductive healthcare, including abortion.
Perhaps the most telling of how effective this misleading rhetoric about Latin@ views on abortion has been is the comparison between those who say they would offer love and support to a friend or family member compared with the number of those surveyed who believe that after an abortion, Latin@s feel isolated and alone. While a majority of Latin@s said they would offer support to a loved one who chose to have an abortion, a similar majority believe that Latin@s are not supported by their community if they seek out these services.
The assumptions are simply not supported by the facts. These ideas are simplistic and based in ignorance, and they are harmful to our society. Latin@s are a diverse demographic, and reducing them to a monolith of conservative faith-based voters when it comes to reproductive health is just plain wrong.
This doesn't mean that Democrats can rely on Latin@s to vote blue simply because their views on abortion are more nuanced than what the media would lead us to believe. Like any other group of voters, Latin@s want representation that speaks to them on issues as varied as their experiences as Texans. But when we rely on tired, old, and inherently racist assumptions about Latin@s and reproductive justice, we are selling our state and its voters short.

Anders Brasch-Willumsen Puts His Own Twist on 3D Design
Interdisciplinary creative talent Anders Brasch-Willumsen has spent over 10 years producing elaborate artistic designs and stimulating advertisements for brands like Carlsberg, InterContinental, Ninja Tunes and Byredo Hotels. Just last year, the design visionary was personally invited to speak at Airbnb's innovation lab regarding the nature of his distintcive career and obvious talent. As the founder of the Stockholm-based creative studio known as Studio Brasch, he helps bring a company's initiative to life with unparalleled design work and innovative imagery in motion. From campaign visuals for SF Design Week 2017 to CGI-rendered conceptual art for a fragrance label, there is literally nothing Anders can't apply a hint of brilliance to.
Whatever the project may be, Anders soaks it into his artistic soul and unveils a fresh take on the initiative through dreamlike, sensory and emotive imagery. "To me, the most important quality of a great image is that it makes you feel something," he tells It's Nice That. "It can be a concrete or an abstract feeling, maybe something you can't describe – like a dream." Scroll through a handful of his surreal 3D renderings below and peruse studiobrasch.com for more!

In 2012, Serve Denton discovered one of the largest needs in Denton was hunger, according to the Texas Hunger Initiative. They estimate over 104,000 residents of Denton County do not know where their next meal will come from. Since one of Serve Denton's values is collaboration, we asked, what could Denton accomplish as a whole that individual agencies cannot do alone to feed more hungry families? The Mayor of Denton also had a passion for this issue, and the Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry was born. Serve Denton offered to coordinate logistical support and help gain community partners for the drive to make the greatest impact possible for the food pantries that participated. That first year, a food drive held on one day at four drop-off locations collected about 1,400 pounds of food for four agencies. It was a small start, but most importantly, it built a bond of collaboration between food pantries to accomplish more together.
This year, during the fourth annual Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry, a week-long food drive among schools, businesses, and churches collected 26,609 pounds of food for thirteen collaborating agencies throughout Denton County.
We have seen the great dividends that collaboration can bring and the direct effects of our community's generosity on the shelves of our local food pantries every spring since this event began. We are committed to supporting these agencies fighting hunger, and we envision a brighter future for Denton.
If you, too, have a passion for ending hunger in Denton County, you can get involved with the nonprofits below who collaborated on this event and are working on this issue every day (click the links to visit their websites). Reach out by volunteering, donating needed food items, or spreading the word about the organization's work.

Just assumed I'd personally summarise to suit your wants the main advantages of as remaining essentially the most recent in organization accounting computer software package technological know-how…
While subsequent technology program has actually been valuable before now google bookkeeping, this application ordinarily has demanded a comparatively subtle amount of comprehension of accounting and therefore has ordinarily been distinct at accountants relatively than small business enterprise operators with out an accounting background or maybe the the perfect time to give attention to administrative responsibilities.
So, offered new developments with the many web you might be likely to appreciate that recently my choice has transformed to online web-based uses (these as ) as I see this is often unquestionably just exactly where the long term is main us. This makes sense, given that it is actually in fact more cost-effective for provider businesses and may enable the next level of world wide web centered prospects utilization of the very same information file (contrary to Laptop centered apps).
is mostly a third technology (world-wide-web centered generally) software that has a short while in the past been made by Sam Morgan & Rod Drury and permits you to download transactions faster than upcoming technological know-how computer software system packages. is known as a Kiwi developed application system which is branching into Australia & the UK. It can be listed within the NZ stock exchange and has offices in the Old BNZ Building in Custom House Quay. Is really a recognised partner together with the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.
Key advantages of 3rd technology application program these kinds of as are:
It's Online based mostly mostly versus Notebook centered, which means you the small business enterprise owner and client have the freedom to control your records (not exclusively your accountant or bookkeeper);
If you have a number of staff or users accessing the accounting records they can do so from their own computer(s) at any specified time from anywhere around the world wide world wide web without having the need for multiple copies;
includes a number of graphical representations which many Personal computer based mostly typically accounting computer software package programs do not;

Antifeminism is broadly defined as ideological opposition to feminism. This opposition has taken various forms across time and cultures. For example, antifeminists in the late 1800s and early 1900s resisted women's suffrage, while antifeminists in the late 20th century opposed the Equal Rights Amendment.[1][2] Antifeminism may be motivated by the belief that feminist theories of patriarchy and disadvantages suffered by women in society are incorrect or exaggerated,[3][4] that feminism as a movement encourages misandry and seeks to harm or oppress men, or by general hostility towards women's rights.[5][6][7][8]

Feminist sociologist Michael Flood argues that an antifeminist ideology rejects at least one of what he identifies as the three general principles of feminism:[3]
- That social arrangements among men and women are neither natural nor divinely determined.
- That social arrangements among men and women favor men
- That there are collective actions that can and should be taken to transform these arrangements into more just and equitable arrangements, such as those in the timelines of woman's suffrage and other rights.
Canadian sociologists Melissa Blais and Francis Dupuis-Déri write that antifeminist thought has primarily taken the form of an extreme version of masculinism, in which, "men are in crisis because of the feminization of society".[9] However, in the same article, they also note that, "little research has been done on antifeminism whether from the perspective of the sociology of social movements or even of women's studies," indicating that an understanding of what the full range of antifeminist ideology consists of is incomplete.
"Antifeminist" is also used to describe female authors, some of whom define themselves as feminists, based on their opposition to some or all elements of feminist movements. Other feminists label writers such as Camille Paglia, Christina Hoff Sommers, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Katie Roiphe and Elizabeth Fox-Genovese with this term[10][11] because of their positions regarding oppression and lines of thought within feminism.[12] Daphne Patai and Noreta Koertge argue that by labeling these women antifeminists, the intention is to silence them and prevent any debate on the state of feminism.[13]
The meaning of antifeminism has varied across time and cultures and the antifeminist ideology attracts both men and women. Some women, for example the Women's National Anti-Suffrage League campaigned against women's suffrage. Emma Goldman, for example, was widely considered antifeminist during her fight against suffragism in the US. Decades later, however, she was heralded as a founder of anarcha-feminism.[14]
Men's studies scholar and a feminist Michael Kimmel defines antifeminism as "the opposition to women's equality." He says that antifeminists oppose "women's entry into the public sphere, the re-organization of the private sphere, women's control of their bodies, and women's rights generally." Kimmel further writes that antifeminist argumentation relies on "religious and cultural norms" while proponents of antifeminism advance their cause as a means of "'saving' masculinity from pollution and invasion." He argues that antifeminists consider the "traditional gender division of labor as natural and inevitable, perhaps also divinely sanctioned."[5]
Antifeminist stances
Some antifeminists view feminism as a denial of innate differences between the genders, and an attempt to reprogram people against their biological tendencies.[15] Antifeminists also frequently argue that feminism, despite claiming to espouse equality, ignores rights issues unique to males. Some believe that the feminist movement has achieved its aims and now seeks higher status for women than for men via special rights and exemptions, such as female-only scholarships, affirmative action, and gender quotas.[16][17][18]
Some antifeminists have argued that feminism has resulted in changes to society's previous norms relating to sexuality, which they see as detrimental to traditional values or conservative religious beliefs.[19][20][21] For example, the ubiquity of casual sex and the decline of marriage are mentioned as negative consequences of feminism.[22][23] Many of these traditionalists oppose women's entry into the workforce, political office, and the voting process, as well as the lessening of male authority in families.[24] Antifeminists argue that a change of women's roles is a destructive force that endangers the family, or is contrary to religious morals. For example, Paul Gottfried maintains that the change of women's roles "has been a social disaster that continues to take its toll on the family" and contributed to a "descent by increasingly disconnected individuals into social chaos".[25]
19th century
This section requires expansion. (September 2014)
In the 19th century, the centerpiece of antifeminism was opposition to women's suffrage.[2] Opponents of women's entry into institutions of higher learning argued that education was too great a physical burden on women. In Sex in Education: or, a Fair Chance for the Girls (1873), Harvard professor Edward Clarke predicted that if women went to college, their brains would grow bigger and heavier, and their wombs would atrophy.[26] Other antifeminists opposed women's entry into the labor force, or their right to join unions, to sit on juries, or to obtain birth control and control of their sexuality.[5]
Mid 20th century
In 1951, two journalists published Washington Confidential, the novel that sparked the second Red Scare.[dubious ] It claimed that Communist leaders used their men and women to recruit a variety of minorities in the nation's capital, such as females, colored males, and homosexual males. The vast popularity of the book caused such a buzz that the Civil Service Commission had to create a "publicity campaign to improve the image of federal employees"[27] in hopes to save their federal employees from losing their jobs. This ploy failed once the journalists linked feminism to communism in their novel and ultimately reinforced antifeminism by implying that defending the "white, Christian, heterosexual, patriarchal family"[27] was the only way to oppose communism.
Late 20th century
Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)
The Equal Rights Amendment is a perennially proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would grant equal rights and opportunities to every citizen of the United States, regardless of his or her sex. By 1972, the amendment was supported by both major parties and was immensely popular; but though it made it through Congress, it was defeated when it failed to get the vote of thirty-eight legislatures by 1982.[28]
Jerome Himmelstein identified two main theories about the appeal of antifeminism and its role in opposition to the ERA. One theory is that it was a clash between upper-class liberal voters and the older, more conservative lower-class rural voters who often serve as the center for right-wing movements; in other words, this theory identifies particular social classes as more inherently friendly to anti-feminism. Another theory holds that women who feel vulnerable and dependent on men are likely to oppose anything that threatens that tenuous stability; under this view, while educated, independent career women may support feminism, housewives who lack such resources are more drawn to antifeminism. Himmelstein, however, says both views are at least partially wrong, arguing that the primary dividing line between feminists and anti-feminists is cultural rather than stemming from differences in economic and social status.[29]
Burris,[who?] meanwhile, says that high-income men opposed the amendment because they would gain the least with it being passed; in fact, those men had the most to lose, since the ratification of the ERA would mean more competition for their privileged jobs and possibly a lowered self-esteem.[28] Because of the support of antifeminism from conservatives and the constant "conservative reactions to liberal social politics," like the New Deal attacks, the attack on the ERA has been called a "right-wing backlash".[28] Their methods grew to actions like, "insults proffered in emails or on the telephone, systematic denigration of feminism in the media, Internet disclosure of confidential information (e.g. addresses) on resources for battered women"[9] and more.
After the ERA was rejected, antifeminism grew a branch: masculinism. Once feminists began suggesting ideologies like same-sex marriage, single mother households, and ultimately opposing the root purpose of antifeminism, it created a division of antifeminism that feels the "masculine identity has been spurned".[9] Made up mostly of men, it is debated whether masculinism is a social movement or a scapegoat to the people who made them have to fight for the roles in life that they feel are due onto them.[9]
21st century
Contemporary issues surrounding antifeminism include concerns of fairness in matters of family law, regarding things like child custody, paternity liability, child support, and concerns of sex or gender inequality in the criminal justice system, such as fairness in sentencing for like crimes.[30]
BBC and Time, among others, have covered the 2014 social media trend "Women Against Feminism". These antifeminists say that feminism demonizes men (misandry) and that women are not oppressed in 21st century Western countries.[4][31][32][33][34][35]
The Guardian and Jezebel have also reported on an increasing number of women and female celebrities rejecting feminism and instead subscribing to humanism.[36][37] Several women who identify as being humanist and anti-feminist have argued in an article for the Guardian that feminism is a discriminatory ideology and continues to portray women as victims.[36] The article was written in response to Australian Labor Senator Penny Wong's speech on the 11th of April at the Annual Jessie Street Luncheon where she defended feminism, stating, "Feminism is not an extreme term – it is a mainstream movement that has transformed modern Australia for the better."[38]
In response to the social media trend, modern day feminists also began to upload similar pictures to websites such as Twitter and Tumblr. Most used the same hashtag, "womenagainstfeminism", but instead made satirical and bluntly parodic comments.[39] In November 2014, Time magazine included "feminist" on its annual list of proposed banished words. After initially receiving the majority of votes (51%), a Time editor apologized for including the word in the poll and removed it from the results.[40][41]
Founded in the U.S. by Phyllis Schlafly in 1972, Stop ERA, now known as "Eagle Forum", lobbied successfully to block the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in the U.S.[42] It was also Schlafly who forged links between Stop ERA and other conservative organizations, as well as single-issue groups against abortion, pornography, gun control, and unions. By integrating Stop ERA with the thus-dubbed "new right" she was able to leverage a wider range of technological, organizational and political resources, successfully targeting pro-feminist candidates for defeat.[42]
In India, the Save Indian Family Foundation is an antifeminist organization[43] opposed to a number of laws that they claimed to have been used against men.[44]
Stigmatizing feminism
This section's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (August 2015)
This section possibly contains original research. (December 2015)
According to Amherst College sociology professor Jerome L. Himmelstein in his article "The Social Basis of Antifeminism: Religious Networks and Culture," social stigma against feminism is a manifestation of antifeminism; two prevailing theories can explain where antifeminism originates. The first theory, proposed by Himmelstein, is the political opposition in the abortion and Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) debates, groups who consist primarily of individuals of lower socioeconomic status, rural, and older constituencies. The political view is labeled as conservative. Although these characteristics may perpetuate through anti-abortion and anti-ERA advocates, it is not a blanket definition and deserves to avoid stereotyping.[29]
The second theory proposes that women in the antifeminist group perpetuate the "insecure housewife scenario," in which women are to depend on men for fiscal support. The theorized opposition is a group of married, low education, low personal income women; however in numerous studies, no direct class can be differentiate between characters of feminism and antifeminism.[29]
So both theories cannot create clear cut, polarized socio-economic groups who dignify the pro-feminists and antifeminist. What cleanly unifies the opposition group is religion. Individuals unaffiliated with any religion, along with Jewish groups, are most likely to support feminist views, while groups involved with Christianity, especially Catholics, are most likely to oppose feminist views. Christian beliefs stress strict lives for women. The Christian doctrine includes regulating women's sexuality and gender role in the family and in the world. So with evidence from various studies, Himmelstein concludes the feminist stigma stems from religious views that have prevailed for nearly two millennia.[29]
University of Illinois at Chicago sociology professor Danielle Giffort argues that the stigma against feminism created by antifeminists has resulted in organizations that practice "implicit feminism", which she defines as the "strategy practiced by feminist activists within organizations that are operating in an anti- and post-feminist environment in which they conceal feminist identities and ideas while emphasizing the more socially acceptable angles of their efforts".[45] Due to stigma against feminism, some activists may take the principles of feminism as a foundation of thought and teach girls and women independence, and self-reliance without explicitly labeling it with the stigmatized brand of feminist.[45]

City parks getting new playground equipment
By Tony Lascari
Children will have updated playground equipment to use at several City of Midland parks this year.
New equipment is expected at the following parks: Allen, Crane, Currie Bennett, Maryland, Nelson, Shipps Family, Smith-Barstow, Virginia, Wyllys and Virginia.
The city council on Monday approved spending $33,117 for the equipment.
Marty McGuire, director of public services, wrote in a report to the council that it will be consistent with equipment updated in various parks in the past several years, "which would create a uniform look throughout the park system."
The equipment will be purchased from Engan-Tooley-Doyle & Associates of Okemos.
At its meeting the council also:
* appointed Charles McFarlane to the city's board of review. The board reviews appeals to property tax assessments and McFarlane has work experience for the California State Board of Equalization. "We found him to be highly satisfactory for that particular job," Councilman Hollis McKeag said.
* had the first reading of a change to the Midland Code of Ordinances that would make violations of the new rules at Jack Barstow Municipal Airport civil infractions, rather than criminal violations. The change was discussed before as part of an update to the rules. A second reading and vote on approval is expected at the council's Feb. 12 meeting.

The Lost City of Z - Charlie Hunnam, Tom Holland Interviews and More!/
Set in 1925, The Lost City of Z tells the true-life drama which centres on British explorer Col. Percival who disappeared while searching for a mysterious city in the Amazon.
The film tells the incredible true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), who journeys into the Amazon at the dawn of the 20th century and discovers evidence of a previously unknown, advanced civilization that may have once inhabited the region. Despite being ridiculed by the scientific establishment who regard indigenous populations as "savages," the determined Fawcett – supported by his devoted wife (Sienna Miller), son (Tom Holland) and aide de camp (Robert Pattinson) – returns time and again to his beloved jungle in an attempt to prove his case, culminating in his mysterious disappearance in 1925.
The film (adapted from David Grann's nonfiction book of the same title) is directed by James Gray and has been a passion project of the filmmaker for close to a decade. It was originally slated to star Benedict Cumberbatch, but when he discovered his wife was pregnant the actor didn't want to be away on location when she was ready to give birth. So - Gray hired Charlie Hunnam ( sons of Anarchy) who fully committed to the role. Not only did he do extensive research into Percy Fawcett's life, but he lost over 35 pounds in a matter of weeks to play the role.
The movie is produced by Brad Pitt ( his company Plan B) and at one point Pitt was going to star, but felt that he just wasn't the best choice. The Lost City of Z also stars Sienna Miller as Percy's wife and Tom Holland as his grown up son who later went with this father on what would be his last expedition.
I spoke with stars Charlie Hunnam, Tom Holland, Sienna Miller and director James Gray in Los Angeles about working on this film. The interviews are below.

'The Second City: The Essentially Accurate History' is an essential new read.
Let's face it. You likely have fewer pals now than you had before the election. Make A Friend Day is February 11th, and it's a great excuse to boost your spirits…and your Facebook friend count. But as an adult in these over-scheduled, over-angry times, it isn't easy making new friends. Where do you even start?
If there's anyone who can show us how to unite, it's the Republicans in the Trump administration. This eclectic group has rapidly forged unlikely alliances. Want to make new friends? Learn from their expertise:
Be Flexible, Like Paul Ryan
You may meet someone and be revolted by them based on first impressions. But if you focus on the long haul, or how they may be able to help you or your career, you'll be surprised how some perspective can change your mind. Dramatically.
Be Yourself, Like Kellyanne Conway
If you like to sleep in your eyeliner and pencil on another layer each morning, don't change what works. You don't need to hide your British revolutionary soldier dress or apologize for your unique taste. Stay original! Be honest about who you are, not about reality! Just keep embellishing your fashion choices and your facts.
Be Calm, Like Ben Carson
Take a casual, slower approach–to life, to friendship, to being conscious. If you're tired, take a nap with your eyes open. Everybody likes that low-key friend! They're just so chill when everyone else is so intense these days!
Smile Confidently, Like Betsy DeVos
We all know BFF pairings in which one person is just out of the other's league. You may be completely unqualified to have the friends you have, but your saccharin smile must never show you know. (Throwing scads of cash at friends' bar tabs and other expenses never hurts, either.)
Be Supportive, Like Mike Pence
Don't be afraid to be the sidekick if you're a "go with the flow" kind of person. Let your new friend talk about themselves, a lot! Every Penn needs a Teller, and every Batman needs a Robin. (A totally straight, purely platonic Robin that is staunchly anti-abortion.)
Set Clear Boundaries, Like Sean Spicer
You'll make all kinds of friends. Some of them will just be…nosy. How do you deal with uncomfortable probing questions? Refuse to answer, be clear on what you expect in the future, and don't avoid conflict if it arises. Don't sugarcoat hard truths, or even flimsy falsehoods. Friends will come to respect you for your directness. Maybe.
Be Patient And Persistent, Like Jeff Sessions
Let's say maybe when you tried to make a friend, or get a Federal judge appointment, you came across as "not PC" and were rejected. You made peace with the rejection, but then 31 years later, you were given another chance. Could you prove you're less outwardly offensive and win them over? Learn (or hide) from your mistakes, and never give up on a promising or profitable friendship. Unless it's with a mouthy female coworker who won't stop with the never-ending insufferable persistence.

FSA Annual Industry Night
On the night of August 30th, the Food Science Association (FSA) hosted their Annual Industry Night for 2017 in the Michael Crouch Innovation Centre. The theme of this year was 'Small Start-ups vs Big Players: Choose your own Career', which aimed to expose students to the various roles available to them in industry.
Over 70 students, staff, alumni and industry representatives attended with speakers ranging from multinational corporations like Mars Food Australia, Coca-Cola South Pacific, and Parmalat, to smaller businesses such as Sensory Solutions, Food and Nutrition Australia, N2 Extreme Gelato and Nutricium. Their wide range of experiences from different disciplines throughout the food production chain - including supply chain, R&D, sensory, packaging, regulation and nutrition, gave a broad and balanced perspective of the Food Industry.
The night began with a speech from host Patrick Spicer, Associate Professor from the School of Chemical Engineering, followed by presentations from the guest speakers. Through sharing their workplace stories of successes and drawbacks, they gave students three very important messages to take home:
1. To find your passion
2. To always keep moving forward with a purpose
3. To never stop challenging themselves
A networking session followed that allowed industry, alumni, staff and students to mingle over delicious canapés whilst simultaneously getting to know each other in a more casual and welcoming environment. Everyone stepped out and had thought-provoking conversations with others to share their values and opinions. The night was concluded by a big thank you to all participants with A/Prof Patrick Spicer giving some inspirational closing words on the great opportunities for industry and universities to find solutions to fight global food problems together.
Overall, the night was a great success for everyone and this event enabled students to develop their networking skills and forge connections with future employers and colleagues. Industry representatives and alumni used the opportunity to catch up with old friends and expand their networks.
A big thank you to everyone who attended the event, especially speakers who spent their valuable time preparing speeches and coming all the way out to UNSW. Thanks to Catherine Lawrey, Graduate Packaging Technologist from Mars Food Australia; Olivia Duffin, Product Development R&D Graduate from Mars Food Australia; Shannon Natoli, Nutritionist from Food and Nutrition Australia; Kelvin Hawkins, Supply Chain Consultant; Evan Belogiannis, Founder of Nutricium; Jodie Hill, Sensory Scientist and Owner of Sensory Solutions; Min Chai, Founder of N2 Extreme Gelato; Jean-Phillipe Cloquet, Manager of Environment, Quality and Safety at Coca Cola South Pacific; and Kim Staples, Regulatory Affairs at Parmalat.
We also extend our gratitude to the FSA executives who organized the event, Michael Crouch Innovation Centre for the excellent venue and finally, to the School of Chemical Engineering that offered the greatest support. It wouldn't have been such a big success without all of your contributions!
Written by Keqi Chen (FSA Event Director)

I recently had cause to call my bank. Now, I wasn't expecting to speak to a real person right away; I don't pay enough fees for that. But I was at least hoping that relatively quickly I could press 1, then press 3 and then 2 to get to the right person to ask my question. Like most of us, I have battled automated help systems on many occasions and I know the routine. I had checked the support website and looked for pre-existing answers to my question, but with no luck and so now I had turned to the phone. As an aside, can it really be true that every organization out there needs me to listen to their entire message because they have all changed their menu options? Are they ever going to get them right? Read More

Len Goodman and Will Young end feud
- Bang Showbiz
- 8 February 2017
Len Goodman and Will Young have ended their feud after they reportedly "shook hands and made up" with one another
Len Goodman and Will Young have reportedly ended their feud.
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' head judge snapped at the 38-year-old singer and told him to "turn up, keep up, and shut up" during his time on the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition last year after he refused to take criticism on his Salsa.
Sources now claim Will - who quit the show the following week citing "personal reasons" - has put his differences aside and was spotted at the Manchester leg of 'Strictly Come Dancing Live!' where he "shook hands and made up" with the 72-year-old star.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "Will decided to make a little visit down to the tour but didn't want to make too much of a fuss about it.
"He joined the cast back at The Lowry Hotel after the show and was spotted laughing and joking with Len by the lifts. They shook hands and made up."
Previously, Len - who stepped down from his role as head judge at the end of last year's series - spoke out about the comments he made to Will, saying he would have been less harsh if the 'Leave Right Now' hitmaker hadn't talked back to him.
He said: "I told him I would have liked to have seen a bit more Salsa content and he said 'well there was 24 bars of recognisable' and I said 'well I didn't see it'.
"I then said 'turn up, keep up and shut up'. I was going to say 'turn up, keep up and never give up' because I had that in my head as a line for some time which would have been nice.
"But because he went on like that and I had that little line in my head it ended up as it ended up."
And despite Will's sensational exit shortly after their spat, Len insisted that it wasn't his fault.
He said at the time: "It was unfortunate that he went the week I said to him he has to 'turn up, keep up and shut up'.
"But it wasn't said in a vicious way. I said there wasn't enough content which really isn't even a pop at him - it's a pop at the choreographer.
"I did ask other people if it was because of that he packed it in and I've been assured it wasn't."

A man escaped a possibly violent robbery when he sped away from two people who approached his car with a sawed-off gun.
Montclair police said a man who had just used an ATM at the Wells Fargo bank was sitting inside his car about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday in the parking lot at 5120 Moreno St.
Two people, one who had a sawed-off shotgun or rifle, aimed the weapon at the man, according to a police news release. The victim was able to start his car and get away before the suspects contacted him.
The men then ran north across the parking lot and were picked up by a light gray compact car, possibly a Ford Focus, according to the news release.
