One Me luna SHORTY pack contains:
Me Luna SHORTY is slightly shorter than the standard Me Luna menstrual cup. It allows women with a shorter vagina or lowered cervix to wear a menstrual cup comfortably. It is available in 4 sizes and 3 firmness levels: Classic, Sport and Soft. Me Luna SHORTY replaces the previous lower cervix product line Me Luna MINI.
Me Luna comes in a wide range of styles and sizes a very for good reason: Every woman is different! For any menstrual cup to be effective, choosing the right size is vital.A cup that is too small...
Me Luna size S is one of the smallest menstrual cups worldwide. Slim, petite physique, no vaginal births, light menstrual flow, very good pelvic floor muscles.
Capacity: 23ml / Diameter: 38mm / Cup length: 45mm
Me Luna size M is still one of the smaller menstrual cups in the world, but it offers 28ml volume. Me Luna size M is used by women who have a medium menstrual flow. Women whose body is be described as medium build, and have a normal pelvic floor muscles can use the Me Luna size M.
Capacity: 28ml / Diameter: 41mm / Cup length: 48mm
Me Luna size L is mainly used by women who already had vaginal births and women who have heavy menstrual flow, and their physique can be described as normal or strong. The diameter of the Me Luna size L is 44mm. Therefore, it can also be used by women with weak pelvic floor muscles.
Capacity: 34ml / Diameter: 44mm / Cup length: 51mm
Me Luna size XL is used by women who already had vaginal births. Women, which have a very heavy menstrual flow, whose physique can be described as normal up to strong. The diameter of the Me Luna size XL is 47mm. If the length not cause any problems, it also can be used at considerably weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Capacity: 42ml / Diameter: 47mm / Cup length: 56mm
BIRTHS: Because the vagina is stretched when giving birth, it may change shape, meaning that a larger cup is needed. In most cases, after a vaginal birth you will have to change to the next larger Me Luna size.
PHYSIQUE: Small, petite women often use sizes S or M. Women who are tall and strong tend to prefer larger sizes. Body size and stature seem to have an impact on the required size of a menstrual cup.
FITNESS LEVEL: Sports activities affect overall stability of your connective tissue, as well as general muscle tone. Sports and exercise have a strengthening effect on the pelvic floor muscles, particularly horseback riding, yoga, Pilates, Kegel exercises, and pole dancing. Women who have stronger pelvic floor muscles usually prefer a smaller menstrual cup.
AGE: It is commonly said that the size of choice for menstrual cups is dependent on age, with the reason that muscle tone decreases with age and therefore older women will need a larger menstrual cup. However, our evidence leads us to believe that there is no demonstrable connection between age and the need for larger menstrual cups.
Women with small physiques, whose stature has not changed and have had no vaginal births, may well use size S until menopause. Similarly, a young woman might be tall and strong, and might use Me Luna size L successfully from a young age.
Me Luna menstrual cups come into different degrees of firmness. For easy use, the menstrual cup should not be too soft for your muscles. While choosing your Me Luna please pay attention to the appropriate softness for you and don't be distracted by the most beautiful color only ;-)
Me Luna SOFT
The material of the Me Luna Soft has a softness of 30 Shore, and is therefore 25% softer than Me Luna Classic. This material feels very soft and can be compressed quite easily. However, this means that the material does not have as much tension as the Me Luna Classic, and therefore sometimes does not "pop open" inside the vagina as easily.
Me Luna Soft was developed for women who are particularly sensitive, and for women whose pelvic floor muscles are less developed.
> Women who find using tampons uncomfortable, causing pressure or pain.
> Women who are particularly sensitive to pressure and pain.
> Women whose pelvic floor muscles are less developed.
Me Luna CLASSIC
The Me Luna Classic has a softness of 40 Shore (a term for describing the flexibility of plastic). A menstrual cup must unfold, or "pop open" completely inside the vagina to form a seal. The cup's material should be firm enough to unfold inside the vagina while being surrounded by its muscles. At the same time the cup's material should not be unpleasantly hard. A menstrual cup should not cause any feeling of pressure when in place.
Ideally it should be soft enough to fold easily, with enough resilience to "pop open" inside the vagina.
Me Luna Classic is suitable for most women:
> Any woman with normally developed musculature.
> Any woman with normal sensitivity (no pain or pressure with previous tampon use).
Me Luna SPORT
Me Luna Sport is designed for women with strong pelvic floor muscles.
> Women whose athletic fitness is above average.
> Women whose pelvic floor muscles are very well toned.
The ring is easy to grasp and can make removal easier, so it is often preferred by beginners.
The ball is our most popular grip style.
The stem is recommended for women who prefer to wear Me Luna very deep, or whose cervix is positioned very far back in the vagina. Beginners who are anxious about removing Me Luna might prefer the stem grip. By the way - if the stem is too long or bothersome, it can be easily trimmed to your preferred length.

This cup is very soft, as I expected. I need a soft cup because I have issues with cramping. It was also incredibly small, the smallest little cup I have ever seen. I compared it side by side with my large yuuki and the difference was almost hysterical. The large yuuki is a big honcho cup while the mini Meluna small is a little baby cup. It was too small for me, but for anyone who has a really small vagina, it might be perfect. Maybe try it with the classic firmness though. Soft cups are trickier to open. As for me, I will probably try the next size up: Meluna soft shorty medium :-)
One thing I am a little sad about though, is that the soft firmness is not offered in the U.S. version, so in order to get my favorite firmness, I must wait for it to ship all the way from Germany. It was not too bad though. It took nine days from the time I ordered it :-)
The fact that this cup is not FDA cleared like the U.S. versions are does not really bother me. I figure that if this tpe is the same tpe that Germans would use for their baby products, then it is probably safe for my hooha too.

I bought Me Luna Shorty as a replacement for Lady Cup - which was too long for me. While the length of the cup is great, the 'texture' of Me Luna is a lot softer and it's opening is a lot wider compared to the Lady Cup. I had trouble getting the cup to open up and sit properly. Perhaps its the way I fold the cup and so it always leaks.
If you're looking a comparison between lady cup and Me Luna this might be a useful comparison:
Me Luna:
(pro) It's short and it is easy to remove the cup.
(con): It doesn't open up as I would like it to. Leaks rather often, especially if you have a heavy flow. Have to empty the cup rather often.
Lady Cup:
(Pro): Opens up easier, and almost never leaks. Don't have to empty the cup as often, as it can hold a larger volume.
(con): It length is too long for me and it was challenging to remove to cup at first - it can be a bit hard to break the vacuum at first).
I hope this helps!

Like many women, my cervix is very low during my period. Luckily for me, the medium MINI MeLuna with ring was my first-time cup! Insertion and removal was a breeze from the beginning, I've never once had a leak, and it's sooo comfortable.
I'm really grateful that MeLuna is continuing to offer this design of cup and I hope they always do, because it's the only one like it on the market.
P.S. One thing I love about the ring (aside from its usefulness as a grip) is that you can use it to hang the cup to air-dry after cleaning.

Over the last few weeks and months, Brian Haynes has been making the difficult push to become a Twitch Partner. To accomplish this goal, Brian (known as ReaperOfHugs42 in the Twitch World) has built a community that relies on each-other - and he focuses on building others while building himself.

It's a phenomenon that hasn't yet hit critical mass, so streamers like Brian are paving the way for the next generation of Twitch stars. You can help Brian on his push for Partner by visiting http://twitch.tv/reaperofhugs42 or by finding him on social media at the handle @reaperofhugs42 - feel free to use #reaperforpartner to help let Twitch know he isn't stopping until he gets it.

Episode 56 - A Game of Thrones Finale Roundtable
The Finale of Game of Thrones aired this past Sunday, resulting in a mixture of emotions and opinions across the Internet. With more than 50% left unsatisfied with the direction of Season 8, and the impact Game of Thrones has on everybody's Backlogs, we felt it was appropriate to give the show a proper sendoff. Jerry Beharry returns to provide insight as a non-book reader, while Kevin's brother-in-law Frank Seitz and brother Jeremy Lane provide deep insight as "multiple time book readers". Kevin hosts the show, navigating between different topics such as the controversy behind Season 8's pacing and the writers moving to Disney to work on 3 Star Wars films. If you watched Game of Thrones, you wont want to miss this wrap up from a group of fans with different takes on the topic. Enjoy.

Episode 51 - The WWE Backlog Experience
Every once in a while we like to dedicate entire episodes of the Backlog Podcast to other topics important to us and our listeners - so Episode 51 is dedicated to the newest Tag Team on Monday Night RAW, the Viking Raiders - otherwise known as The Viking Experience - otherwise known as The War Raiders - otherwise known as War Machine. After Hanson and Rowe, current NXT Tag Team Champions, arrived on RAW, fans were stunned to find out Vince McMahon changed their name at the last instant - first calling them the Berzerkers (ala the Jobber from years ago), and then settling on The Viking Experience - Ivar and Erick. As someone who knows Todd (Hanson/Ivar) personally, this was a shock. The resulting meme and exposure turned into something more, and just before Raw on 4/22, their names changed again. All we know is that their name doesn't matter - the job they do in the ring does. Sorry for the delay, but enjoy this take on the name change and what's in store for the Viking Raiders.

Episode 50 - And the Beat Goes On

Also, it wouldn't be a good reminiscing of old Backlog Podcast episodes without a few audio glitches in the mix. Sorry for Kevin's feed, there was some rabbits chewing his microphone cable. It'll be fixed next episode!

Abstract: This multidisciplinary project can be used effectively in grades 6-8 with students of all ability levels. We expect teachers to modify the expectations and outcomes to match the developmental level of their students. This project is flexible enough to meet an individual teacher's schedule. Access to a prairie habitat enhances the student experience but is not required.
This interactive Internet and hands-on project focuses on a highly engaging problem regarding potential development of a prairie site. The problem is open-ended and lends itself to a variety of investigatory directions. Students solve a problem similar to a wide variety of real-life problems in many communities.
Background information about the prairie study
Tutorial for teachers new to problem-based learning
Subject/Content Areas:
Biology, environmental science, social sciences, language arts, mathematics
Learner Outcomes:
Through the group activities, students will be able to:
- Explain important scientific, social/historical and aesthetic values of a prairie habitat.
- Analyze the impact of specific human activities on a prairie habitat.
- Analyze the socioeconomic impact of specific human activities on a community.
- Explain relevant prairie issues from multiple perspectives.
Alignment with National Science Education Standards
Students write in their journal daily, maintaining a running account of their progress, responding to and reflecting upon their research and the discoveries of others, and documenting their findings. Formal assessments include opportunities for peer and self-assessment and performance rubrics accessible to students online. In addition to these formal assessment options, teachers conduct informal assessment on a regular basis.
- KWL as a pre-assessment
- Journal (ongoing)
- Peer/Self Assessment (ongoing)
- Project Rubric assesses learner outcomes above.
- Optional Rubrics assess various student skills. (Teachers may choose any of these rubrics that help assess student work. The following are most appropriate for this project: Working in a Group, Keeping Records and Presentation.)

When I visited San Francisco last year, my college roommate and I decided to enjoy a Friday lunch in Napa. While researching where we should go, it came down to a very tough choice between Bistro Jeanty and Redd. We ultimately decided on Redd, so this year during my trip planning, I made sure to secure a reservation at Bistro Jeanty. What a memorable meal. I cannot wait to return later this year, especially because I really wanted to try the tomato soup in puff pastry, but could not convince my sister to order it. (I had to get bone marrow!)
Bistro Jeanty has been awarded a Michelin Star for the past 3 years, and serves French cuisine.
The interior of the front dining room, which is separated from the back by a bar and narrow hallway. There is also a covered outdoor dining area where one guest had his dog accompany him through his meal.
Salade de Betteraves, $12.50: Heirloom beets and mache salad with feta cheese and citrus dressing. A nicely presented salad with colorful beets complemented by a tangy dressing.
Os a Moelle, $14.50: Roasted bone marrow "Bordelaise". This bone marrow was absolutely unbelievable. It is what I daydream about. Each piece of bone was filled with a huge portion of fatty marrow. Definitely the best bone marrow I've ever had, and for a very, very fair price.
Sole Meunière, $23.50: Sole fillet with mashed potatoes and lemon caper butter sauce. This is what comes to mind when I think of French cuisine-- warm, rich, buttery, and satisfying. The fish was doused in a perfectly balanced combination of savory and citrus flavors.
Bœuf Bourguignon, $28.50: Short rib, roasted carrots, pearl onions & buttered egg noodles. And here is what made this meal the very best meal of of this year. Fine, we're only 3 months into 2013, but if it's any indicator, I hope this means 2013 will be a year of many restaurant visits that keep topping each other in my list of favorites. Back to the dish. A beautiful symphony of deliciously tender short rib, with sauce that was rich but not overwhelming, and accompanied by carrots with the most lovely sweetness.
The noodles were al dente and heavenly.

Hey there kittens,
I'm alive and in Italy. So maybe I'm more alive than usual? I have already, in my barely over 24 hours of travel, experienced a myriad of adventures that are already humorous. Which is lucky, for my fear of dying on the train in Nice or my lack communicative abilities nearly getting us sent to Spain were less than funny at the time. Ok, that's a lie, they were funny then as well. I have been gallivanting all over San Remo today, which is definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. What? Just because I've never 'left the country' before does not mean my opinion is not valid.
For those who are not up to speed on my life, the lucky seven of you (that's right, 6.9993 of the rest of the human race does know about my life), I am in Italy for two months whilst I teach English, live with host families, play outside with tiny tots and hopefully gain 45lbs at least from pizza and gelato. Ps, I've already had two pizzas and two servings of gelato and yes, it is as good as they say. Dammit.
Hopefully I will be able to go intolerable exhausting and overly wordy detail soon about what's been happening and post some more pics, but for now here is one of the street I am staying on. Chow. Arrivederci. Whatever it is these silly kids say here

I'm trying to become a writer.
For the last few months I have done all within my power to learn more about the craft of writing. Stephen King told me in On Writing to "not come lightly to the page." Anne Lamott showed me that the act of writing turns out to be its own reward; that publication shouldn't be my end goal. Her book, Bird by Bird, revealed to me the ideas of short assignments and {cough} "poor" first drafts. According to Steven Pressfield, art is war and resistance is the enemy within. He encouraged me by saying, "If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), 'Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?' chances are you are." Because I ask myself that question all the time.
I soon discovered that learning about writing didn't make me a writer…Click here to find out what I discovered it takes to actually become a writer, an artist, a leader and even a Christian.
Today I have the privilege of guest posting at author, Mary DeMuth's blog! I was able to sit down with Mary at the writer's conference I attended in April, and she is as encouraging and friendly as she seems in her writing.

April is Autism Acceptance Month. During Autism Acceptance Month, we focus on sharing positive, respectful, and accurate information about autism and autistic people. Continue reading
Autism is a developmental disability that affects how an autistic person thinks, learns, uses their senses, moves their body, communicates, and relates to other people. Between 1 and 2% of people in the United States are thought to have an autism-spectrum diagnosis. As we learn more about autism, more people are diagnosed. Experts suspect that the real number of autistic people is a little bit higher. Continue reading
Too often, our national conversation on autism is something that happens about us, without us. Organizations, conferences and panels on autism somehow fail to include Autistic voices. We are asking you to be part of the solution. Help us send a message to event organizers across the world – if you want our business, involve self-advocates. It's just that simple. Take our pledge today and share it with your friends. Continue reading

In science and philosophy, an ad hoc hypothesis is a hypothesis added to a theory in order to save it from being falsified. Ad hoc hypothesizing is compensating for anomalies not anticipated by the theory in its unmodified form.
In the scientific communityEdit
Scientists are often skeptical of theories that rely on frequent, unsupported adjustments to sustain them. This is because, if a theorist so chooses, there is no limit to the number of ad hoc hypotheses that they could add. Thus the theory becomes more and more complex, but is never falsified. This is often at a cost to the theory's predictive power, however.[1] Ad hoc hypotheses are often characteristic of pseudoscientific subjects.[2]
Note that an ad hoc hypothesis is not necessarily incorrect; in some cases, a minor change to a theory was all that was necessary.
Naturally, some gaps in knowledge, and even falsifying observations must be temporarily tolerated while research continues. To temper ad hoc hypothesizing in science, common practice includes falsificationism (somewhat in the philosophy of Occam's razor). Falsificationism means scientists become more likely to reject a theory as it becomes increasingly burdened by ignored falsifying observations and ad hoc hypotheses.

A wealth of deduplication options
Hardware-based products propelled deduplication into the mainstream, but now that most backup apps include dedupe, you'll have to carefully evaluate the options.
Hardware-based products propelled deduplication into the mainstream, but now that most backup apps include dedupe, you'll have to carefully evaluate the options.
By Lauren Whitehouse
Data growth grabs most of today's IT headlines and many IT organizations believe data protection is one of the key contributors to the staggering data capacities that need to be managed. Why? Lots of copies are made by data protection processes -- at least once per day, but sometimes multiple times daily -- and kept locally for operational recovery. Copies of copies are also sent offsite for disaster recovery (DR) purposes. Most backup and replication solutions perform these processes inefficiently, making multiple copies of the same file despite only a small amount of the data within the file having been changed. Maintaining daily, weekly, monthly and yearly backup copies means that dozens of copies of the same data may be stored, and often for extended periods of time. It's this propagation of data that makes data deduplication a compelling technology for secondary storage environments. While the deduplication spotlight has been focused to date on hardware products that optimize storage capacity, the addition of dedupe capabilities in several backup apps could shift the focus in 2009.
As more organizations implement disk in the backup process to overcome the performance and reliability shortcomings of tape-based protection, data deduplication has emerged as a force to improve the economic feasibility of retaining data longer on disk (possibly eliminating tape) or increasing the number of workloads using disk as an interim stop on the way to longer-term retention on tape. Deduplication technology conserves storage space by writing only unique (new or changed) data to disk and linking it via pointers to the previously stored unchanged data.
Dedupe approaches compared
Hardware vendors spearheaded dedupe adoption with powerful, purpose-built deduplication appliances that process backup data before or after it's written to disk. Benign to the existing backup environment, this hardware-based approach made deploying dedupe relatively easy. Research from the Enterprise Strategy Group has found that the ability to integrate with existing backup processes and overall ease of use are more important adoption factors to organizations than specific technical considerations, such as a deduplication ratio or the granularity of deduplication.
Seamless integration with existing data protection practices, as well as IT's historic resistance to change when it comes to backup software, meant that backup solution providers that could offer deduplication had a more difficult time getting mindshare in the data center. When EMC Corp.'s Avamar came to market touting a better, more efficient way to back up data, the company faced an obstacle that was hard to overcome: reluctance to walk away from existing backup applications. IT organizations could clearly understand the benefits, but weren't motivated to initiate a technology change that would have a ripple effect on the operational aspects -- people and process -- of the data protection environment. EMC Avamar has therefore had to take a more circuitous route to the data center, providing a bandwidth- and storage-optimized backup solution for remote and branch offices, as well as an efficient data protection alternative for server virtualization environments.
However, the integration of acquired deduplication products by EMC (Avamar) and Symantec Corp. (PureDisk) with NetWorker and Veritas NetBackup, respectively, as well as recent introductions of native dedupe by CA, CommVault and IBM Corp. have a lot of IT organizations wondering which is the best implementation of deduplication -- hardware or software? Bottom line: It's not a one-size-fits-all scenario.
Factors to consider
Cost, performance, scalability and the deduplication domain are just a few of the considerations when evaluating deduplication in the backup process to determine whether a backup application's built-in dedupe capability or a feature built into a backup storage system will best serve your environment.
Cost. Presumably, an investment made in technology that can reduce storage capacity requirements by a factor of 20 will be easily justified. Is there an added fee to enable the feature whether it's a backup app capability or an "add-on" feature in a hardware device? Is an upgrade to a higher version or model required? Even if deduplication is standard in the product (hardware or software), what other cost implications are there for implementing it (e.g., will it require additional network, server or storage resources)?
Performance. Deduplication comes in all shapes and sizes as backup workloads have different requirements. Deduplication may be mixed and matched, taking advantage of features of both software and hardware products. Source-side dedupe in backup software may make the most sense for remote systems because it delivers greater network efficiency, while target-side approaches may make more sense for workloads with the most stringent backup windows.
Scalability. While deduplication should mitigate the need to expand storage capacity, the impact of growth on the dedupe environment should be thought through. You need to determine how easy or difficult it is to expand the deployed product, and if expansion will introduce silos of storage (and thereby limit deduplication) and increase management. And does scaling require a forklift upgrade or can it be achieved more seamlessly?
Deduplication domain. You also need to consider the scope of the deduplication effort. Will your dedupe effort be limited to the confines of a single container -- whether it's logical or physical -- or are your goals broader?
Such a wealth of deduplication options provides ample choices, but it can also lead to some confusion. Vendors have the opportunity to educate users about deduplication technology in general, and specifically how their own solutions approach the task. And you need to understand your backup environment and requirements before short-listing solutions. Vet the vendors and their products, check their references and, most importantly, test the products using your own data over several backup cycles.

I remember the first time I saw a woman in a super-stylish outfit biking around town: Amsterdam, 2000. I had just finished college and was in the city meeting my good friend and her mother as part of a celebratory trip. As I walked from my hostel to their hotel, I couldn't help but notice the amazing fashion that the women there were wearing; unique, warm knits draped just-so, knee-high heeled boots (before they were popular the world over), and hats and bags the likes of which I'd never seen before. And all artfully flaunted while riding vintage European cycles.
It was a few years later that cycle chic had become a trend reported on various eco and indie fashion sites, and soon a whole website, dedicated to covering great-looking women riding bikes (based in Copenhagen but featuring women from Japan, England, South Africa, the U.S. and more), became an online destination for fashionistas, environmentalists (like me) and urban trendsters. I remember telling my boyfriend at the time that this seemed important if we wanted to mainstream bike riding. Turns out I was right.
Since then, each year has brought a greater acceptance and promotion of bike riding than the year before. Cities instituted or expanded bike lanes, hipsters eschewed driver's licenses for fixies, and designer cycles made their way into Vogue and Elle magazines. Fashion leaders and corporate moguls started showing up to meetings fresh from the saddle. Riding your bike to work went from "kind of a weirdo thing to do" to de rigueur in just about three years, by my reckoning. Which doesn't mean that everyone is one board — yet.
For the people who need convincing, or at least a bit of encouragement, bicycle advocacy groups have set up all kinds of clinics, classes, and even "classic" rides, wherein participants are encouraged to dress up in vintage bike clothing (tweeds are popular) and take a spin around town, with stops at cafes or viewpoints. These kinds of events, along with a focus on the safety aspect of cycling, seems to be drawing even more new folks into the bicycle-loving fold.
According to a CNN piece covering a "tweed ride" held in Atlanta recently, Norma Palus said of her experience riding dressed up with a group, "It's just riding for pleasure instead of running the roads. It goes back to childhood, to riding for fun, to enjoy it. No spandex or cleats." Fashion as bike advocacy? Looks like it.
Perhaps it's because cycling hits the Venn diagram-like intersection of being environmentally friendly, healthy for the heart and lungs, and less expensive than driving a car. Or maybe it's because it's kind of fun, and makes you feel, for a small part of your day, like a kid again. Either way, it looks like this former trend has become a permanent part of the style and transportation landscape. What do you wear to ride?

It was September 18, 2001. As usual, I had to do my shift as a news reader on Eritrea's national government-controlled radio station Dimtsi Hafash. It was just minutes before 6:30 a.m. I was almost ready with all of the Tigrinya news material given to me for broadcasting and was waiting for the on-air sign to flash and the countdown to begin. Then the phone rang.
A colleague stationed behind a glass divider picked up the phone and, seconds later, signaled to me to get out of the studio and take the call. "This is crazy!" I thought. "What sort of emergency is this?" I went out and picked up the phone. "Hello. Who am I talking to?" I asked. "I am Naizghi. Who are you?" the man said in a very unfriendly tone. It was Naizghi Kiflu, the new minister of information who had not yet called a press conference to introduce himself.
"Are you the news reader on duty?" he asked me. "Yes," I replied. "Come to the ministry's head office as soon as possible," he told me. "But Mr. Naizghi ... on-air time is approaching and ..." I couldn't even finish my statement. He said, "Just come here!"
I insisted. "But it would be better if I could at least begin the broadcast and do the headlines..." Naizghi interrupted me again: "Are you stupid? There is no bigger news other than what I am giving you. So come now!"
I left the studio with many thoughts rushing through my head. Has another border conflict with Eritrea erupted? But they signed the peace agreement, and we have the peacekeepers now. Could it be another war? It couldn't be! What was going on, then? There was the public statement made by the G-15 (a group of 15 ruling party pro-democracy dissidents) and distributed to independent papers. I had no idea what was happening out there.
I arrived in Naizghi Kiflu's office and found him writing on a sheet of paper with Ali Abdu, the incumbent Minister of Information. "Are you the news reader on duty?" Kiflu asked. "You listen now! The paper I am giving you is very important, and you will have to read it with a forceful voice!" he said. "You have to read it properly!" he repeated--again reminding me to use force in my voice. "Let me hear how you are going to read it!"
The anger I felt must have shown on my face. I was being treated like a beginner by a man, a newcomer, who had no clue or experience in the business of the media. Ali Abdu came to my rescue, saying, "Maybe you don't know him, but he is one of the most experienced journalists around." "Is he?" Naizghi asked while scanning me from head to toe. I took the piece of paper from him and left the office.
I was so impatient to read the contents of what I had been given that I was reading and running at the same time. I could see that, in addition to silencing people's voices, the statement was about shutting down independent newspapers. It was difficult to go on-air after I arrived back at the studio--I had to calm down and collect myself.
I finally read the announcement by 7:30 a.m. and went down to the coffee room at 8 a.m. Almost all of the staff members were there. One of them whispered, "While you were making the announcement about the shutting down of private papers, they were picking up people." "Like who?" I asked. "Those members of parliament who signed a petition calling on [President] Isaias [Afeworki] to hold a party congress," he replied.
There was nothing to be done. As far as the government was concerned, we were no better than those imprisoned, and it sent a clear message to all of us: "You too will get it--if you say anything!"
All was quiet. Independent papers were shut down. Voices were silenced, and hearts were dismayed. The whole situation just went from bad to worse.

Saw it again at 10pm tonight. By 8pm the rest of the day's screenings were entirely sold out. Glad I got my ticket early after I saw the noon one. Well, this experience was honestly even better. In fact, much better, to be honest. There were a lot of moments I forgot about, and being in a sold-out stadium theater with a fantastically behaved audience laughing their asses off and being silent at all the right times was amazing. Wish I could change my vote to 4.5/5. Oh well.
Also, Homer is so perfectly characterized in the movie. You really just love him again, so much more than in any recent-ish episode. All the characters were really spot on.
