Toilet: Ek Prem Katha New Song Bring Back Vibrance of Holi
After romantic number 'Hans Mat Pagli Pyaar Ho Jayega', Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar starrer Toilet: Ek Prem Katha has released another song. The new Holi song 'Gori Tu Latth Maar' will drag the listeners to the fun-filled time of the festival of colors.
The song is way different from usual Holi songs where the actors are usually seen dancing on the high beats. Though it is a Holi song, but it is way more different from Akshay Kumar's previous Holi song 'Go Pagal' in Jolly LLB2.
The song has been picturised on the popular concept of 'latth maar holi of Barsana. The video is very gloomy, something we have not seen in Bollywood Holi songs. The actress is shown angry with the actor who later asks her to punish him for not fighting hard for the battle of getting proper sanitation. Both the lead actors look heartbroken in the song and Bhumi Pednekar can be seen hitting Akshay Kumar with a stick.
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is a comic-drama with excellent performances of veteran actors like Anupam Kher, Rajesh Sharma and Akshay Kumar. The movie rotates around a noble cause of having proper sanitation in the village, which is also related to Narendra Modi's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'.
As against chopping every movie, the Central Board of Film Certificate (CBFC) chairperson Pahlaj Nihalani praised the concept of Toilet: Ek Prem Katcha and said it should be made tax free.

Silence, even in the edge of the suburb. There's a big town nearby, but R S Thomas comes back to me again, the silent village. "This last outpost of time past".
I am as far from Lleyn as I could be in space and form but not maybe in mood. Here the once busy local streets (never called streets here – too urban a word – but no shortage of houses), are silent as of the tarmac were no more than one "that leads nowhere and fails at the top".
I wander in my mind back to those little places, scarcely villages, which the poet wandered amongst, away from any road, where I automatically, without thinking switched to speaking in Welsh, before realising that I don't actually speak Welsh enough to complete a coherent sentence, but there is no other way to speak of the bracken-clad hillsides wandering down in their own time to the cliff and the inevitable sea.
There are houses here, and neighbours, and the way between the one tavern and the one shop, both shuttered, but stillness in the way.
So little happens; the black dog
Cracking his fleas in the hot sun
Is history. Yet the girl who crosses
From door to door moves to a scale
Beyond the bland day's two dimensions.
Take me back to Lleyn and its embracing sea.

Mark Zuckerberg is a hypocrite - Facebook has destroyed the open web
Mark Zuckerberg appeared presidential last month. In a speech he gave at an annual Facebook event, he said travelling around the world has worried him: "I am starting to see people and nations turning inward — against this idea of a connected world and a global community."
He showed dismay for "fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as 'others.'" Then, like a powerful world leader, he called on everyone: "Instead of building walls, we can help people build bridges. And instead of dividing people, we can help bring people together."
That is all quite ironic to me, and I'll tell you why. In 2014, I was pardoned and released from a prison in Tehran where I spent six years over my web activism. Before I was imprisoned in 2008, all the hype and rage on the internet was found on blogs.
Blogs were the best thing that had ever happened on the internet. They democratised writing and publishing – at least in many parts of the world. They gave a voice to many silenced groups and minorities. They connected friends, families, communities, and nations around the world. They encouraged discussions and debates.
All that was made possible because of a brilliant and powerful, but simple and modest innovation: hyperlinks. Those underlined, blue bits of text that made your cursor look like a hand with a outstretched pointed finger, and took you to outside sources and material on the web. The very fact that in 2016, one needs to explain to a new generation what hyperlinks (or simply links) were is already sad enough. But acknowledging that links are now practically dead is heart-breaking to anyone who remembers those times.
The World Wide Web was founded on the links, and without links, there won't be a web. Without links the experience of being on the internet will become one of a centralised, linear, passive, inward-looking and homogeneous kind. This is happening already, and despite Zuckerberg's sermon, it is largely Facebook and Instagram who are to be blame for the demise of links, and thereby the death of the open web and all its potentials for a more peaceful world.
Mark Zuckerberg killed links (and the web) because he has created a space that is more like the future of television rather than the internet. Unlike what he preaches, Facebook has divided us into small personal bubbles of comfort. We don't need to do anything, but to swipe with our thumbs (soon even that wouldn't be necessary with eyeball detection systems).
All the videos, images, and articles we see in our newsfeeds are picked for us based on our habits, based on our previous likes and reshares, which have taught Facebook about our preferences. Naturally, most of us only like what or who we agree with, and Facebook therefore rarely upsets, challenges, or surprises us.
While Zuckerberg laments at walls and admires bridges, the fact is that his Facebook algorithms have created billions of these comfort bubbles that are more isolating than walls. Also, he has destroyed the most powerful bridges that perhaps ever existed in the human history, the hyperlinks.
Facebook's desire to keep users inside of it all the time is why it can generate so much advertising money. But that means it provides less and less reasons for anyone to leave its environment, in order to read an article or watch a video.
Not only does Facebook prioritise native content in its newsfeeds, but it is introducing ideas such as Instant Articles or Live to bring all the content scattered around on distant corners of the web onto its own platform. Zuckerberg's vision is not to connect people in distant islands, but to bring everyone onto a big island so nobody would ever need to use a bridge to go anywhere else.
What Zuckerberg is doing, especially in the developing world, is to make people think that Facebook means the internet – and he has been quite successful. More than half of Indians and Brazilians now equate the internet with Facebook.
For me, as someone who spent six years in prison at a time when being online was a serious and intellectual activity, it is heart-breaking to see how Facebook has changed the internet into little more than a portal for entertainment.
Mark Zuckerberg killed the open web and all the bridges it had created in order to make money. But when he, with an innocent face, starts warning the world about walls, divisions and intolerance, it feels like a dark Orwellian nightmare. The open web could have been a remedy at a time when closed borders rule. But Mark Zuckerberg destroyed it.

Lucky Ball Roulette Review
Authentic Gaming streams their Roulette games from the floors of brick-and-mortar casinos, thus making the experience as real as it gets. Live Lucky Ball Roulette, broadcasted from Casino International Batumi at the Hilton Hotel in Georgia, is a European game variant with an independent side bet.
Lucky Ball wagering area, located above the betting grid, displays 4 Lucky Ball wagers defined by colour (green, blue, orange and purple) and offering a base payout and a bonus payout.
During each round, a unique number is allocated to each of the colours, and one of them randomly selected as the bonus colour. Players will win when the wheel delivers selected number (side bet paying between 6:1 and 25:1), or if the regular Roulette result corresponds to ball selected as the bonus ball (pays 60:1 to 120:1).
Since the table is located within a land-based venue, you'll get to play together with the casino's visitors.

Comline Termination Board/ Lightning Protection
Our Comline Termination Board enables a neat and proper termination for each and every pair of the comline. Making sure that all pairs are properly terminated is imperative to protecting the lift equipment from lightning or other problems that can come back down the comline. Everything is clearly labeled and there is a schematic that explains exactly what is being used on the board for lightning protection. Utilizing a resistor, poly-switch, trans-orb, gas discharge tube, and fuse these boards offer the best lightning protection on the market, in use they have worked flawlessly in protecting the lift equipment in the motor room and shack from any problems the com-line might face.
This board is magnetically mounted enabling easy installation and has quick connectors on each side easing installation and troubleshooting.
This board is magnetically mounted enabling easy installation and has quick connectors on each side easing installation and troubleshooting.
Efector Tester
The Efector tester provides a both positive and negative test for Efector switches. Utilizing a simple LED you are given a go or no go test for the switch. The tester is self powered by standard nine volt batteries enabling it to be used anywhere on the mountain without having to worry about power. As the tester is inactive until a switch is plugged in to one of two plugs (both old and new versions) the battery life is greatly extended.
No Dial Weatherized Phone
Our no dial phones offer a reliable and economical replacement for sound powered and other electric phones. With no dialpad or ringer to break, these phones provide trouble free service. They magnetically mount allowing for easy installation and flexibility of location. They are built with a female jack so that cords can be easily and cheaply replaced without having to do any wiring.
Phone Conversion Module
Our phone conversion module converts your lifts phone from sound powered to electric power for more reliable performance and better sound. These modules hook right into 24v power and don't need an adapter or inverter. There are four slots for phones and more can be daisy chained in as well. Magnetically mounts and works with any and all standard electric phones, so if one breaks you can even grab one from the lodge to get you through the day.
Push Button Stations
Our push button stations are resort tested and the design has been used in the field for nearing a decade now of reliable service.Each button returns two wires to the connected control (dry contact) - allowing a variety of connection schemes. The Emergency Stop button is on a different plane encouraging operators to use the normal stop button first. The station comes complete with an interior heating element to prevent any stuck or sticky buttons as well as minimize any condensation inside the station. With a weathertight casing and weathertight phone and input jack no matter what the conditions our stations function correctly day in day out. Included inside the casing is a full schematic for any trouble shooting needed.The legend panel is reverse engraved (from the back) and backfilled with the colors you select. This ensures an easily read, easily cleaned and long lasting panel. They are also fully customizable and you the customer can decide which functions are included on the station, and where they are located, enabling you to best suit the station to your operation. With a quick disconnect these stations are designed to come in to the lift shack every night helping prevent damage from snowcats, or theft.
Proxy Safe
Proxy Safe is a simple module that hooks inline in front of Doppelmayr Proximity sensors to protect high risk areas from lightning strikes. These modules protect the sensors when the tower system is on or off. In on lift testing they have worked brilliantly and prevented countless proxy sensors from being destroyed by lightning. Their simple design, including a magnetic mounting system make installation a no tools job, simply unplug the proxy sensor from the tower cable and hook the module in between the two using the standard style 4 prong connectors.
Rope Proximity Sensor
This Proximity sensor takes out the complex and unreliable electronics found in other proximity sensors and replaces it with a simple magnetic system. This makes the switch much less likely to fail due to stray voltages, or weather intrusion. The switch utilizes only two wires instead of the standard four, making wiring easier, and less troublesome on the cross arm. It can be wired via the easy banana plug, or screw connections. The simple reset tool forces the lift mechanic to make sure that there are no issues on the tower, preventing faults from being ignored...
Brittle Bar Deropement Switch DR2
This brittle bar is an exact replacement for Lift Engineering DR switches with a few improvements. First it does not need the pigtail of wires, and instead makes the connection right at the switch. This solves the problem of the two wires rubbing against each other and shorting out inside the plastic boot, thus preventing the switch from giving meaningful feedback. This also reduces the cost of the switch as you do not need to buy the wired pigtail with the switch each time the switch needs replaced. Finally with the new connector provided with each switch one can replace a switch in mere seconds. And given the four space ability of the connector multiple Brittle Bars can be chained together as your tower configuration requires. The sliding bolt hole also enables flexibility in terms of DR switch length, where brackets may not be the exact length of a standard DR switch.


text: A compilation video from real incidents filmed by ISM Gaza Strip volunteers of Palestinian farmers coming under fire from Israeli soldiers shooting with live ammunition from jeeps and towers along the border to Gaza. All of the incidents occurred in the south-eastern border region east of Khan Younis, within the months since the 'cease-fire' following Israel's war on Gaza. All the attacks have been against unarmed Palestinian farmers, including women and children, and internationals accompanying them. The practise of firing at farmers and civilians in the area up to 1km from the border has been a consistent occurrence, with attacks increasing after Israel's 3 weeks of massacring Gaza. The farmers working the land are all either dependent on the food they produce or very poor labourers dependent on the meagre salary they receive. Most have no other options for work or farming. These attacks come hand in hand with Israel's declaring the 300 m to the border as 'off limits', Israel's policy of razing agricultural land and destroying farms, farm equipment, greenhouses, and crops, and the siege on Gaza which has crippled all sectors of life within the Strip. see Farming Under Fire for more incidents and information: http://farmingunderfire.blogspot.com/

The features of successful criminal organizations, including maritime piracy organizations, seem to be consistent with those that have been observed in business organizations. Research has proved that the sources of advantage and value creation in business organizations are intangible factors, including leadership, obsession for action, and creativity, among others. The idea behind this presentation of maritime piracy is based on the theory of the resources, skills and competencies of strategic management. According to the classification which has been adopted, it has been observed that the success factors of maritime piracy are: skill capital, innovative capital, and client capital. The observations were made using office-based research and a diagnostic survey.
The seas have played host to numerous conflicts, including piracy. The risk of this has increased due to a number of factors of a legal, political, economic or technical nature. These include the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the bipolar balance of power in the world, the legal status of marine areas, the expansion of areas of instability on land, the reduction of naval presence, the rel-
atively low price and availability of ships, and poverty.[1] However, external determinants of piracy are not part of the analysis carried out in this article, which focuses on aspects of the internal environment.
What is the definition of piracy? The Geneva Convention defines piracy as any illegal act of violence, detention or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and perpetrated on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship or aircraft.[2] The purpose of this article is to depict terrorist organizations and maritime piracy in light of the theory of resources, skills and competencies of strategic management. It is this way of thinking that dominated the approach to organizational strategy in the early nineties. In organizations focused on economics and science, the analysis of the importance of intangible assets, along with the knowledge and innovation that stem from this, changed their focus from competition to cooperation, leading in turn to increased success. It is therefore necessary to ask if there are universal success triggers that apply to all organizations, or whether these depend on the type of business in question. This article therefore seeks to analyze the issue described above (namely, the threat posed by the operations of criminal organizations) in an interdisciplinary manner. The work is based on the methodology of theories of management and organization.
In summary, maritime piracy has been treated as a criminal organization with specific competencies as, in light of the base resource approach, the organization comprises a collection of resources and skills. This was established via office-based research and diagnostic surveys.[3] The question asked in the survey compared piracy to various animals and their characteristics. The respondents were students of military academies focusing on defense, security, and international relations, along with students in the humanities specializing in education and the arts.[4]
Maritime piracy has been a feature of humanity since ancient times as goods being transported have always fallen prey to sea-based thieves. It is not surprising that many large-scale films have been produced playing on this pirate motif, leading to the assumption that pirates are viewed by the public through the prism of legends, novels and movie heroes, as personified by Hook, Flint or Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. The image of pirates that has been subconsciously formed since childhood presents them as being somewhat inept, disorganized, but also lovable characters. However, we also find movies based on facts, such as Blackbeard, which represent pirate groups as well-organized, effective organizations. A recent non-fictional movie, Captain Phillips, describes the fate of a captain abducted by Somali pirates. They are portrayed as a group that is committed to achieving its objectives with determination and brutality, which means taking the spoils and abducting the captain as a consequence. The conduct of pirates thus begins to resemble the activities of terrorists. We learn about these activities via media reports, including online, thanks to the increasingly significant role played by social networks.
Sea piracy enjoyed a renaissance in the early 1990s, and since this date it has been possible to talk about the formation of powerful gangs living off the profits they make on the high seas. These organizations are very well organized, featuring organizational structures akin to a small army. They have the following equipment: very fast boats armed with machine guns, RPGs and mortars, GPS receivers, devices for eavesdropping and interference with radio communications, encoded means of communication, diving equipment, and water scooters. They have connections to corrupt local police, coastguards, shipping companies, and port workers, and often have relations with ship crews to ensure that they can act freely and receive information about valuable cargo.
Modern pirates can also be small groups of poor thieves living in port towns and impoverished fishermen attacking primitive boats. Most often they board ships at night, stand at moorings near the shore, terrorize the crew and passengers with knives, machetes, and occasionally firearms, then steal what they are able to take.[5]
Regardless of the type of organization, the pirates are guided in their actions by the desire for personal gain, whether this be from the sale of stolen goods, or the ransom for the ship or crew. At the same time, they take efforts to cover their tracks and not to arouse media attention. Thus, pirate activity is concentrated on the operational level.
As statistical background, the Report of the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) on marine piracy states that figures have fluctuated over the past 20 years across the range of 200-470 pirate-related events a year.[6]It should be noted that some attacks go unreported. The damage is estimated to amount to around 7–12 billion USD. 95 % of the costs incurred are due to the activities of Somali pirates.[7]
It should also be noted that the geography of piracy has changed. While previously most attacks were recorded in the waters around Southeast Asia, now the Indian Ocean, particularly off the coast of East Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa, are the new focal points. The actions of these organized groups are different: Somali pirates hijack ships and hold their crews to ransom, while the pirates in the Gulf of Guinea region focus on the theft of cargo from ships, especially oil and petroleum products, in order to resell them on the black market.
Despite the recent decline in the number of attacks, regarding which various preventive measures taken by ship owners were undoubtedly contributing factors, including an increase in the number of armed guards onboard ships, it may be concerning that there is an increase in the degree of brutality, in the number of kidnappings for ransom, in the amount demanded by ransom requests, and a prolongation of the time for which individuals and crews are detained.
The effects of maritime piracy have as a consequence that organizations on an international level [8] initiate discussions on how to counter maritime threats, how to fight back, and, by extension, how to detect and transmit data on the possible occurrence of these risks. To this end, it is necessary to recognize the enemy, including via the use of the theory of resources of strategic management.
The success of the organization has ceased to be solely a reflection of the skillful use of material resources, for example, financial or technical resources. Both theorists and practitioners in the domains of organization and management reinforce the belief that competitive advantage is achieved through unique solutions, which the organization considers a strategic resource.[9] They allow you to create winning strategies. Precursors of this approach were C.K. Prahalad and G. Hamel.[10] They initiated thinking about the organization as a bundle of resources and skills, thereby introducing the concept of core competencies and strategic intentions. They pointed out that a business strategy based on imitation and duplication of even the best solutions can never provide real benefits. Thinking in terms of "strategic intent" is thinking like the explorer who wants to survive and win. It has become the image of a business that is constantly setting new challenges and is reborn thanks to profits taken from its competition, in this case, from other groups of pirates in terms of loot and security personnel.[11]
Let us start by explaining the classical approach, dubbed the resource approach. The search for core competencies should start by examining all the base resources (tangible and intangible) and skills (complex resources), for example, financial resources, technical resources, staff and their competencies, organizational culture, the reputation and achievements of the organization, and the efficiency of structures and procedures.[12] Tangible resources are what the organization has and/or controls. Intangible resources are both internal and external factors to which the organization has access and which it may use, but over which it does not have full control. They are largely responsible for the success of the organization.
The classification is as follows: human capital, organizational/structural capital, relational capital. Human capital is defined as the knowledge, skills, experience and abilities that employees take with them when they leave the organization. It is therefore a set of features that allows employees to perform tasks, solve problems in the organization, create innovation collectively, build relationships, reason, and make decisions. This capital consists of the capital of knowledge (know-what, know-why, know-how, know-who), skills (professionalism, speed, talent and aptitudes), society (willingness to act, understanding, trust, commitment, leadership, norms, values, habits, relationships) and development (innovation, flexibility, creativity, learning skills).
Structural capital is defined as the body of knowledge that arises at the end of the working day. This includes all the resources that support the work of the members of an organization: the organizational structure, databases, procedures, processes, organizational culture, knowledge of the organization, learning, flexibility, and willingness to change. This capital consists of organizational capital (organizational structure, hardware, software, trademarks), process capital (methods, techniques, procedures, functions, styles, organizational culture) and innovation capital (knowledge, learning, flexibility, willingness to change). Relational capital denotes the resources related to interpersonal and inter-organizational relations, the ability to establish and maintain close and lasting relationships, and build a social network: in short, factors related to external relations. This capital is the market capital (relationships with customers, competitors, partners), distinction capital (brand, image, reputation, loyalty, mission, vision, goals) and customer capital (client database, potential clients).[13]Literature and the responses to the diagnostic survey were analyzed using the above-mentioned divisions. It can be seen that some of the resources cannot be purchased and sold on the market, imitated or replaced [14]– these are called strategic resources.
Skills are processes and are what the organization can do best, using its own or potential resources as a foundation for this. In our case, this consists of building a competitive advantage by using the specific skills of criminal organizations (piracy) to achieve the goal (loot), and not getting caught by those bodies responsible for the security of the ship or the state. Skills relate to what the organization is doing.[15]
According to Prahalad and Hamel, for certain organizations, core competencies are the areas of knowledge and experience, which consist of tightly related elements. Core competencies are hard for competitors to copy since they are specific to and characteristic of a particular organization.[16] Compiling resources and organizational skills in a unique way forms the core competencies of an organization, and grants it an advantage over competing criminal organizations, as well as over the security services.[17] Organizations' base resources are the foundations of their existence. Permanent coordination and the use of resources to achieve the underlying purpose are evidence of the possession of special competencies by organizations.
Figure 1: Creating strategic value within the organization.
Source: Own work, based on Mansour Javidan, "Core Competence: What Does it Mean in Practice?" Long Range Planning (1998): 31.
These are made of complex resources. They are even more valuable if the organization is in possession of rare, hard to imitate or efficiently organized resources [18] (see Figure 1). Core competencies are therefore the result of the synergy effect between the cognizance of resources possessed by the organizations and the actual ability to use these resources in pursuit of the objectives.[19] This knowledge should be possessed by a leader.
It seems that criminal organizations, in this case, piracy, can be compared to companies, whose strength lies in human capital. Human capital is defined as the sum of the capacity, knowledge, skills and experience of the members of an organization and of management that are useful for the performance of complex tasks, and the ability to expand these resources by way of learning.[20] It creates added value for the organization through the direct application of the knowledge and skills of its members via the process of operating and accumulating knowledge in the intangible assets. The aim of the organization is therefore the acquisition of knowledgeable workers, who are characterized by a certain state of mind and attitude,[21] because powerful companies stem from the proximity of mutual relations, loyalty and the trust of their members.[22] Similarly, Peters and Waterman see the perfection of companies as one of the aspects of community norms and values. Management of people of this kind requires an appropriate organizational culture [23] (structural capital, subcategory: process capital of organization) and leadership (human capital, subcategory social capital of organization).
These are two factors that hold the greatest importance in business organizations in term of achieving a competitive advantage, and also seem to be a factor within criminal organizations.[24] Culture is the result of formal and informal relationships, processes, and systems, as well as the strategies and goals of the organization. It is conditioned in large part by cultural elements, which are the products of local traditions.[25] In the case of piracy, this consists of: the history of the organization, poverty, maritime traditions, and legends. Organizational culture is like the body's immune system: rooted in the organizational subconscious, it determines the development of core competencies.[26]
Another important resource is the leader, whose efforts should be aimed at accelerating the creation of resources in their organization and facilitating their dissemination and use.[27] The concept of core competencies is largely of an intellectual nature, and manifests itself in a comprehensive knowledge of the organization (leaders) with regard to the resources owned. The leader is supposed to create a strategic architecture of the organization, which will guide the organization into the future. Leadership in a hierarchical structure, which may include maritime piracy, is a type of relationship between management and subordinates. It is the ability to mobilize others resulting from the possession of not only specific knowledge but also charisma and authority.[28] The map that leaders create is to determine key competencies and their components, which will lead to advantage both in the present and in the future.[29] The sources of advantage and value creation for organizations are therefore intangible resources, in particular, knowledge, and more specifically the use of it, for example, in the ability of criminals to use the latest technology, weapons, GPS devices, and satellite communications. Its optimum use depends on the culture of the organization. Knowledge is not a factor for long-term value creation and cannot provide an advantage due to the possibility of its duplication. Therefore creativity is important. This refers to a creative attitude, which contributes to the creation of new, original ideas, and solutions, for example an attack or kidnapping. Non-standard and audacious acts are in fact difficult to predict on the part of the security services. Thus, a particular resource of an organization is tacit knowledge, inherent in the members of the organization.[30]
Attention should be paid to another aspect, namely to the above-mentioned information and communication technologies, which facilitate effective communication between the members of the organization and allow almost immediate contact with their surroundings to assist with the distribution of stolen goods and negotiate ransoms with those involved. It seems that intangible resources are not sufficient for effective action. To succeed, one also needs financial capital as well as technical and technological capital.
Criminal organizations are a collection of high-level organizations characterized by: an obsession for action; close contact with the customer (relational capital); autonomy and entrepreneurship; a focus on values; a limited profile of activity (structural capital); the treatment of people as the most effective resource for the organization; leadership; discipline and knowledge (human capital).[31] The specific nature of maritime piracy allows this list to be expanded to include: the mobility of pirates, the ability to use the latest technology, maritime traditions and the availability of suitable hiding places.[32] The first two can be classified as human capital, the latter two as relational capital.
Figure 2: The system of basic and auxiliary functions involved in carrying out an attack.
In summary, when analyzing the literature on the subject, one can gain the impression that human capital, including leadership, creativity and the culture of an organization, as well as relationships with its environment, is a factor that creates the value of maritime piracy and grants it an advantage over institutions and the authorities responsible for national security.
The second (newer) approach to the organization, known as the competency approach, is based on the analysis of the organization as a chain of value creation. This involves analysis of the service in the case of attack in question. The starting point is the assumption that pirate attacks are a chain of successive phases of activities: primary and secondary ones (Figure 2). The realization of these functions can be represented in the following way: [33]
The decision was taken to analyze piracy with reference to the perceptions of students. In fact, students have very good access to information. For this purpose, respondents from military academies (National Defense University and Naval Academy of Poland) studying security were chosen. They were compared with statements given by students studying humanities subjects (Academy of Special Education, named after I. Grzegorzewska), treating the students from military academies as conscious consumers.
Analysis of the external image made on the basis of a diagnostic survey technique of unfinished sentences run among students at military academies led to the following evaluation: they compared piracy to the following 16 animals, which sets the repetition factor at 1.4: [34] 1. hyena, 26 % of respondents; 2. fox, 18 %; 3. shark, 16 %; 4. magpie and 5. vulture, 5 %; 6. lion, 7. wolf, 8. tapeworm, 9. falcon, 10. wild ducks, 11. tiger, 12. viper, 13. parrot, 14. alligator, 15. leech, 16. ticks – 2.5 % (Figure 3). Students of the National Defense University most often compared pirates to sharks, hyenas and foxes, while students of the Naval Academy compared them to hyenas, foxes and magpies. In the opinion of NDU students, behavior typical of pirates is characterized by: cunningness, aggressiveness, ruthlessness, speed, mobility, deceit, action in the group, use of the occasion, attacking the weak, feeding on wealthy foreigners at the expense of others, and concealed activities. Students of the Naval Academy see pirates as associated with: cunningness, greed, deceit, ruthlessness, taking care of their own interests, preying on foreigners, attacking by surprise, achieving goals regardless of the circumstances, and dangerousness. These features belong to human and structural capital.[35]
Humanities students compared pirates to 21 animals in 28 statements, which gives a repetition factor of 0.3: 1. shark – 18 % 2. parrot – 11 %, 3. magpie – 7 %, 4. hyena, 5. snake, 6. anteater, 7. whale, 8. eel, 9. octopus, 10. piranha, 11. jellyfish, 12. porcupine, 13. anteater, 14. panda, 15. mosquito, 16. opossum, 17. fox, 18. salamander, 19. hawk, 20. cat, 21. ant – 3.5 % (Figure 3).[36] Undoubtedly, the perception of the acts of violence analyzed is influenced by feature films, examples of which were given previously. This is evidenced by statements indicating the parrot (3 for 28 surveys) as a symbol of pirates, as well as the panda—because it reminds the students of a pirate wearing an eye patch—and the range of examples given above. The features most often attributed to pirates were: dangerous, cunning, predatory, cause fear, prey on others, circle the victim and then attack, and having a lot of tentacles. As in the case of respondents from military academies, the characteristics mentioned include parts from human capital and structural capital. Therefore, neither group referenced relational capital characteristics.

Figure 3: Distribution of survey responses.
Source: Aneta Nowakowska-Krystman and Piotr Gawliczek, "The Image of Piracy and Maritime Terrorism – Media as the Tool for its Development," Journal of Defense Resources Management (forthcoming).
The answers show a significant difference in the quantity of these animals, as well as the frequency of indications (the repetition factor). References to pirates as hyenas, foxes and sharks make up 60 % of the responses. The repetition factor for students studying humanities is much lower than for those studying in the military academies. References to pirates as sharks, parrots and magpies amount to 36 % of the responses. However, as established, the discrepancy between reality and subjectivity in the case of students studying humanities is higher than in the case of students at military academies. Among students at military academies, the gap is less for students at the Naval Academy than for students at the National Defense University.
The intensity of the attacks, the level of violence they entail, and the scale of the destruction result from the activities of piracy forces, the creation of certain security conditions by international organizations, individual states, and ship owners. Multi-layered problems require the use of a variety of research methods. However, the concept of piracy is immutable, it is a way of life (or survival), a way to access power, fame, money. In contrast, forms and ways of doing things evolve. Recognizing pirates by identifying their resources, skills and competencies is one of the ways to help increase the security of vessels and maritime infrastructure. It seems that, as a business model, criminal organizations of this nature display similar resources in terms of determining the advantage and strategic value of the organization. The results of the study suggest that the main source of success for the piracy results from the realms of: [37]
In summary, this article was intended to depict maritime piracy within the framework of the concept of strategic resource management. It asks questions and formulates arguments concerning the competencies of criminal organizations. However, these require further in-depth research.

Energy in Motion is Important
Energy in motion is important to processing life experiences. Have you ever been struggling inside, and someone says, "Oh, just snap out of it! Stop thinking all that negative stuff and be positive!" Sounds like a great idea, right? But for many of us it is not that easy. Thoughts and feelings are an integral part of us. They sometimes get all wrapped up inside and drain our power to make the changes we want.
No matter how many positive thoughts we conjure up, when our energy is not moving freely, stagnant energy lingers in the background. People often call it "being stuck" for a reason. Without our energy in motion, the miserable thoughts and feelings we wish would go away, keep popping up repeatedly. Yep, the same old thoughts and emotions keep circling round and round again!
The Ease in Letting Go
People often say, "It's hard to let go" when letting go is the easiest thing we ever do. It takes a tremendous amount of energy and personal power to hold ourselves back. Letting go is our natural ability to free up our power to do the things we love.
Moving our energy opens space for the release of depression, repression and the struggle we feel. A good example is when we constrict the muscles around our lungs and heart. We literally suffocate ourselves with shallow breathing and compression of our blood flow. This stresses our bodies and makes us feel uneasy, dis-easy. Dis-ease is an early warning sign of what we commonly call "disease".
Try this exercise as way to better understand:
Hold your arm out in front of you.
Squeeze your fist as tight as you can.
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze tighter and tighter…and do not let it go!
Keep holding it as tight as you can. Squeeze, squeeze… tighter and tighter. Do not let it go!
Notice any discomfort you feel in your fist, arm and the rest of your body.
How is your breathing? Does the rest of your body feel relaxed? How relational do you feel? Do you feel free? How is your thinking? How present are you with the rest of what is going on around you? Is your focus of attention narrow?
Keep holding it tight and think about what it means to be "uptight".
Then slowly start letting it go…slowly uncurl your fist.
Notice if your hand is feeling any resistance to letting go? Is there any discomfort in letting it go?
And when you're ready…
Let it go! Relax, and Shake it out!
Notice how good it feels to let go and shake it out.
Energy in Motion Supports Continuity
Dancing, shaking, vibrating and expressing ourselves makes it easier to let go. It allows our thoughts, feelings and behaviors to be flexible and move more freely. Motion also supports in shifting our continuity while going through withdrawal from the habit of holding back.
When we keep our energy in motion many of the following benefits are:
Experiencing a sense of well-being where thinking positively comes naturally.
Allowing the space for old beliefs and stories about ourselves to dissolve, resolve and evolve more readily.
Circulation of our blood and release of our muscles allowing us to experience the joy of being alive.
Allowing our emotions to express, feel happy, inspired and ready to take the next steps in our lives.
Freedom, power and the ease of being in alignment with ourselves and all that is.
Experiencing what it means to be in the flow of life.
Space for envisioning and bringing forth the bodily felt sense of how we want our lives and our world to be.
Now try this exercise as a whole-body experience:
Take a deep breath in and hold it as long as you can.
Hold it…hold it…hold it…and do not let go!
Now tighten your whole body.
Wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!
Keep holding, squeezing and noticing.
How happy do you feel? How clear is your thinking? Do you feel friendly? How powerful do you feel? How present are you?
Notice that you have literally have tightened up. Uptight, right?
Now relax, let go, take a few deep breaths and shake it out!
Shake, Vibrate, and Shake it all out!
Feel the relief of oxygen flowing through your veins, filling you up with what you need to be fully alive!

The 951 students involved in a test reporting error will get to keep any extra points they earned as a result of the mix up, according to the Mississippi Department of Education.
In a release sent Wednesday afternoon, MDE chief of accountability Paula Vanderford said the error did not have a negative impact on the high school seniors.
"Based on the data we currently have available at MDE, we have confirmed that no student was prevented from receiving a diploma as a result of the error by NCS Pearson," she said in the release.
The scoring error occurred on a U.S. History state test produced by Bloomington, Minn-based NCS Pearson Inc. Although most students take the exam their junior year, there are re-testing opportunities senior year. Seniors who needed the test to graduate were told to take the test by May 6 in order to receive an expedited score.
Soon after, Pearson delivered a data file to MDE containing the scores of around 13,000 students. MDE then sent the scores for the 951 seniors included in that data to schools on May 12 so they could be factored in to students' graduation files. Weeks later, however, officials with Pearson notified the Mississippi Department of Education of an error in scoring all 13,000 students' tests.
In the release, MDE stated 754 of those 951 seniors failed the test and 197 passed. Of those who passed, 18.3 percent earned an extra point from the reporting error and "needed to meet additional graduation requirements to earn a diploma. Passage of the U.S. History assessment alone was not enough for them to graduate," according to MDE. Ten students who graduated should not have, but did because of the extra point received.
Despite the mistake, MDE said it will not revoke any students' diploma.
According to MDE, the error is the Pearson's third in recent years. In 2012, answer choices for one question on the Biology I test were transposed, causing 126 students to receive failing scores. The second error took place in 2015, when online testing was interrupted for 5th and 8th grade science, according to the Mississippi Department of Education.
The total cost of Pearson's 10-year contract was about $28 million, but the State Board of Education voted during a meeting on June 16 to terminate the remainder of the contract. The board also approved a one-year emergency contract with Questar to administer the tests previously done by Pearson for upcoming school year. A search for a multi-year, more permanent replacement will begin in August.
School districts will receive preliminary results for other tested subjects Friday, including the results for all 27,000 students who took the U.S. History exam, according to release.

Being the owner of a small business can be quite a stressful and complicated job. There are a number of things you have to do in a small business to make yourself a success. If you are in the business of manufacturing goods, then you will have to worry about how your brand is perceived by the public. In order to put your best foot forward when it comes to your product, you will need to think about the labeling and packaging of your product. The following are a few tips on choosing the right labeling for your product.
Don't Forget Who Your Customer Is
The first thing you have to do when trying to find the right labels for your product is to remember who your target customer is. The more you are able to find out who your audience is and what they will respond to, you will be able to get the right designs picked out. If you have a social media page, you may want to think about running a survey with your followers on which label looks the best.
Incorporating your Branding
The next thing you need to focus on when trying to get the right labels for your product is the branding. You have to make sure that you put your branding into the label due to the recognition this can gain you. The more you are able to feature your brand in your labeling, the easier you will find it to get people to identify with it. Be sure to talk with the company doing your labels to see if they have any unique and fresh ideas for what you should do.
Keeping it Simple
Another very important thing you have to consider when trying to choose the right labeling for your product is the simplicity it has. You need to make sure the design you have chosen will not be too confusion or busy. The more you are able to tell with fewer words, the better the labeling will ultimately look. You may have to try a few different designs before you are able to get the right one. The time and effort you put into this process will be more than worth it in the end. By taking the advice of the professionals you are working with, you will be able to get the right results.
If you are in the market for labels for your products, be sure to contact instabox.com. They have been in the business for many years and can offer you the help you need. Call them or go to their website.

After months of leak and conjecture, now the HTC 10 is here. This new flagship is definitely worthy of your attention particularly because of the improved camera - HTC 10 carries a 12MP Ultra Pixel 2 generation camera with a 1.55um pixel size, a very wide f/1.8 aperture, optical image stabilization, and "2x wider range and fast" laser autofocus. Read on and get to know HTC 10's photography tips.
Dual OIS
It is HTC 10 that first introduces OIS (for Optical image stabilization) to the Android camera. This technology can reduce blurring associated with the motion of a camera or other imaging device during exposure, resulting in bright, sharp, and steady pictures no matter you snap photos with the front or the rear camera.
Low Light Performance
HTC 10 camera has a strong ability of capturing light because of the UltraPixel sensor with OIS and a bright f1.8 lens. It gives up to 136% more light than other Android camera so you can snap high-quality photos in the poor light. The camera can shoot high-resolution picture even in low light.
Better Selfies
HTC 10 camera can be one of the most popular for those who like shooting selfies. Because of a large pixel sensor, a f/1.8 lens and a screen flash, the selfies shot by the front camera are brighter and richer. The wide-angle camera allows people in the photo.
4K Video and Hi-Res Audio Recording
You can record 4K videos and preserve the fantastic moments in your daily life. Besides, HTC 10 first introduce 24-bit Hi-Res audio recording into the Android world. Users can shoot 256 times more details across twice the frequency range. With HTC 10, you can record a concert with 4K videos and Hi-Res Audio which are just like being there.
But please note that audios and videos will occupy much phone memory. You can transfer and save these media files from HTC to PC.
Focus Photos Quickly
HTC 10's camera can be activated within 0.6 seconds. The UltraPixel 2 generation laser autofocus shortens the focusing time. So, it is easy to capture a moving subject, such as the flying flag, the running car, and more. Quick focusing allows you to capture every moment.
Write in the end
HTC declares that HTC 10 camera the best ever smartphone for shooting photos and videos, which is equally great to that Samsung Galaxy S7. So what's your opinion? Before coming up with your comment, you can navigate Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge camera.

In this Note, Marysia Laskowski examines the behavioral biases that lead parents to decide not to vaccinate their children. She then examines those biases through the lens of behavioral law and economics to provide potential solutions that would nudge "vaccine-hesitant" parents into vaccinating their children.

Brassknocker Hill and Kennet and Avon Canal
Walk 1 - printable instructions (1 x A4)
3½ miles
Time: about 1½ hours
Start: By the Wheelwrights Arms in Monkton Combe - parking in village car park opposite the church (GR 773620)
Maps: OS Explorer 155 Landranger 172
From the Wheelwrights Arms, turn east and follow the main road with school buildings on the right. Turn left up Shaft Road with playing fields below you on your right, but as the road turns sharp left, go straight ahead up the driveway to reach stile into a large field. Take the path running diagonally uphill, through a gate in a fence and up to a kissing-gate in the top left-hand corner of the second field. (the wood to your left belongs to the Combe Grove Hotel and Country Club).
Cross a small stream and walk up to the main road (Brassknocker Hill) and turn left uphill past the houses to the public footpath on the right. Cross the road carefully, and follow this path behind the houses to a stile into a field. Turn left downhill with the fence on your left, to another stile and steeply down to a kissing-gate leading on to the A36. From this last field you get good aerial views of the Dundas Aqueduct.
Cross the main road with extreme care and bear right to public footpath at the end of the lay-by. Follow this stepped path down to the Kennet and Avon Canal. The towpath to the left goes to Bathampton and Bath, but you go straight ahead over the lifting bridge crossing the entrance to the Somerset Coal Canal. (Part of this canal now serves as boat moorings and you can read its history on the display boards). Walk on over the Dundas Aqueduct (built by John Rennie - foundation stone laid in 1797) and along the towpath for about ¾ mile with hanging woods of oak and beech on your left (fine colours in the Autumn reflected in the water) and the River Avon below you on your right. Ducks, moorhens and the occasional kingfisher can be seen on the canal. Beware of cyclists approaching silently behind you!
At the first road bridge, leave the canal and turn right down the road, cross the river bridge, under the railway and turn left into Lower Limpley Stoke. At the Hop Pole Inn turn right up a steep lane, keeping right at the fork ("No Entry for Vehicles": the left-hand fork is slightly longer and less steep). Right at the T-junction takes you back to the A36 by the Rose and Crown pub, cross carefully to the public footpath opposite. Follow this path behind a house and above the road for about half a mile. The path enters a wood and bears downhill to the right - it is quite steep and slippery, towards the end a stick might be helpful. A stile brings you out into a field from where you can see Monkton Combe and Brassknocker Hill across the valley.
Cross the field downhill to a stile and take the lower lane to your left past Waterhouse and the path between some houses and the Midford Brook to a wooden bridge.

I am a total noob here and still feeling my way around. Just after I got up the courage to start a nudity oriented blog on Tumblr, they decided to ban all "adult" content. Some folks are starting up petitions and figuring out ways to beat the new system. That's not how I'm built. At my age, I don't need that drama. Soooo… here I am. The format here is pretty different. I have already broken the ice…gotten over my fears of rejection and criticism and worry about what people think of me (none of my business).
Photo is yours truly helping with cleanup at BayBares after Hurricane Michael beat the crap out of our campground and member RVs. It is meant to be a gag shot with a tiny tool for the size of the job. OSHA would not approve! Proper clothing was worn along with appropriate safety gear when chainsaws were actually live 🙂
My apologies for the huge image. I actually did optimize it. Still ironing out details of how stuff works around here.

Woman Getting Married
Woman Getting Married – Unique ideas for wedding venues, wedding decorations, wedding dresses, and more!
Considering half the country is currently under some sort of freeze and/or snow watch, we'll have to warm up looking at this gorgeous wedding from the summer! Held at the Oak Canyon Ranch outside Los Angeles, this rustic chic wedding had such a pretty palette that was perfect for the season. With ivory and soft pink roses, this California wedding–captured by Elizabeth Burgi Photography–definitely has us dreaming about next season.
More from their photographer, below:
"I loved photographing Chris and Doreen, a couple madly in love who held a rustic wedding at Oak Canyon Ranch. Doreen arrived to her wedding looking like a princess in her Martina Liana gown. The bridesmaids wore pastel dresses while the groomsmen were dressed in trousers, white button-ups, and suspenders that I absolutely adored. At the ceremony, the walkway was lined with clean white chairs, filled with happy family members on either side. The couple was wed under a beautiful tree and the entire event turned out perfectly. For decoration, barrels acted as overside flower pots and gold-painted vases were placed on every table with lively pastel flowers that stood out against the clean white back drop. The gold chairs and gold-accented place cards brought it together. When guests sat down at the outdoor tables to enjoy the reception, both families came together to share in the joy of the celebration."

Even if the glasses do not conclude to develop the same experience as an actual VR such as headsets like Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, it will still create a nice feeling by experiencing 3D effects in all Nintendo Switch Games.
The Canadian company, Exklim, has managed to bring the console up in front of the player's eyes by attaching it to the glasses. While it may look a little close and maybe a bit painful, players can adjust the VR Glasses according to their needs, thanks to the flexible headband.
This may be the first step to bringing an actual VR to the Nintendo Switch, since it is most likely a favorite option to all of the consumers. Setting up a VR connection could sometimes be quite disturbing, but doing that on the Nintendo Switch should bring no difficulties at all.
Below you can find some of the images published by the developer on its official Facebook Page.

Lewis Hamilton became 2017 Formula One World Champion at this year's Mexican Grand Prix, after a tense and dramatic affair. Hot on the heels of his achievement, both Spark and Minichamps announced 1:43 and 1:18 specials of Lewis's car from that race.
Spark's 1:43 special (SPK5054, £53.99) will replicate the scene as Lewis pulled up in parc fermé after the end of the race. It will feature a standing driver figure of Lewis stood on the front of the car, holding the Union Jack in celebration. It will also incorporate the #44 marker board that he pulled up in front of.
Spark's 1:18 special (SPA18S312, £139.99), meanwhile, will feature Lewis sat in the cockpit of his Mercedes holding the Union Jack, as he was as he drove back to the pits on his victory lap.
Minichamps' specials will be 'no frills' affairs, as the German company has confirmed that they will not feature any extra details like a Union Jack, for example. But, for many collectors, Minichamps is still the only way to go, and so we expect demand to still be on the oversubscribed side. The 1:43 will cost £69.99 under (P171844), while the 1:18 will cost £139.99 under (PG171844).
You probably saw this coming, but yes, pre-ordering is absolutely vital to ensure that you don't miss out on these Hamilton Mexico cars! Specials commemorating Nico Rosberg's 2016 title success were invariably sold out before they were even released. With a home-grown star like Lewis, cementing his status as one of the true all-time greats, the demand will be nothing but significantly greater!

Indiana woman gets 8 years after providing fentanyl to 16-year-old who overdosed
12/18/2018 1:55 pm PST
via WXIN:
GREENFIELD, Ind. (WXIN) -- A Greenfield woman received eight years in prison after providing fentanyl a teen overdosed on back in January.
Anna Southgate was charged with reckless homicide in February following an investigation into the death of 16-year-old Jacob Root.
Around noon on Jan. 3, 2018, Greenfield police and EMS units were called to a home in the 900 block of Gondola Run for an unresponsive person. There they found Root.
Southgate initially told investigators that Root brought the drug with him to her house but later admitted she'd given it to him. She said they'd injected it around 4 a.m., leading to him "speaking gibberish" and "not making any sense."
Even though she felt he was "too high," she didn't call 911.
Investigators received a search warrant for Southgate's phone, which showed Google searches related to drug overdoses, including "What to do when someone is ODing," "What to do if your friend has overdosed," and "How to intervene during an overdose," among other search phrases, court documents said.
Following her prison sentence, she will face four years of probation.

A western Iowa wildlife area reopened this week after being forced to close due to flooding two months ago.
DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge usually sees visitors year-round, but it closed in mid-March as Missouri River levels rose. Park Ranger Peter Rea says a maintenance team from DeSoto and other nearby refuges repaired two sections of paved road that the floodwaters washed out.
"A lot of fill had to be hauled in to fill that and right now, instead of being repaved, they've just been covered with gravel," Rea says. "They're kind of gravel patches as a temporary Band-Aid before we can get it completely fixed."
Rea says the flooding has brought some animals to parts of the refuge where they normally wouldn't venture. "There's a lot of birds feeding in those flooded areas because it's shallow water and there's a lot of fish that are trapped," Rae says, "so it's kind of easy picking as far as feeding goes."
They even had a couple of unusual sightings, including a blue heron, which is typically found in the Southeastern U.S. Though the refuge is open to the public, the boat ramps are closed and some hiking trails are still partly flooded.

Gain Money FastWin money fast
Money App - Cash & Rewards App in the App Store
EARN: YOU'RE MAKING LIGHT MONEY IN YOUR SPARE SEASON! #Best Reward Application - Get MONEY for doing chores, submitting feedback, reviewing shopping, mystery shoppers, test service, free trial.... Often new jobs are upgraded so you never run out of money. It doesn't have any complex quests, and the best part is that it's a fun and fast way to earn a few more dollars!
The Money App will pay fast! There are no gift cards or rebates, you get PayPal discount on your PayPalccount! 1 ) Perform quests to collect reward. 2 ) Use PayPal to exchange your balance for money. NOW START MAKING SIMPLE MONEY! You can now earn money by doing local work. It only has such a high rating only because it is offering coin to give it a five-star rating, which is a mucous little move, but I understand it.
All the others said it's simple to earn a good five or ten dollars first, but listings that are something other than polls are becoming seldom. Definitely I think they need to find a way to add more and more games and videos. In addition, they only provide small quantities of points for some quests that earn a thousand plus points.
They will tell you, for example, to do something simple, like downloading an application and completing the Tutorial, which seems simple enough, but I've been running a play for four day now and I haven't finished the Tutor yet, because it's so complicated and the Tutor goes on while you're at it.
It only scored 400 points, which is insane because of the amount of work required to complete the workshop. Currently, I definitely suggest buying this application and using it to make a simple $5-$10, but after that, go ahead and erase it because it's not likely that you can make more.
I' ve made, like, $5 in 2-3 nights. There' s this one thing named Aliens Screeps, and I was like in the beginning, "great, let's just get through fast so I can get some credits," and then I kept going after I got my credit and I still have the thing.
Apart from that, some plays are cocks and don't give you credit, but it's not the money apps' blame, it's actually the guys who make the play, and if they don't give you credit, then there's no payment of the money app. What does that mean? And it also lasts 3 and a half day to get your money, but hey, if you are a gambler then this would be a great way to make simple money.

The people at God of Gam3z takes player grouping much more seriously. They have developed an algorithm that matches players based on both their skill level and other specific preferences. Let's say you're a teenage girl who would like to play with other girls at the same skill level. God of Gam3z plans to make that possible.
Players who want to use the God of Gam3z matching engine can register with the service, list the games they play and their gaming systems. They also select a skill level (Novice to Expert) and their gamer personality (Casual or Competitive) and the types of players they want to be matched with (Age range, Gender and Personality).
The system also let players rate their matching experience to help fine-tune the matching algorithm. And it allows players to create and join teams, guilds and clans.
The God of Gam3z developers have launched a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of raising $10,000. Backers who pledge $15 will get early access to the God of Gam3z website and an extra month of usage. Backers who pay $69 or more get a year's access to the system among other perks.

Fifty and fabulous.
In her cover story for the June/July issue of Harper's Bazaar, Jennifer Aniston was interviewed by her longtime friend, comedian Tig Notaro, about fame, aging and the topless photo shoot the 50-year-old actress did for the magazine.
Describing the image to Notaro, the "Friends" star says, "There was a version of an outfit that we did without a top, but I'm covering my breasticles. There's nothing offensive out there for anyone unless they think breasts themselves are offensive."
"It felt completely normal," she continues. "I think our bodies are beautiful, and I think celebrating them and being comfortable in them — no matter what age you are — is important. There shouldn't be any kind of shame or discomfort around it." Besides, she says "my body feels better than ever," although she admits, "I can't really spring up like I used to."
And while her advice to all young people "sounds so clichéd," she insists, "Don't worry so much. Try not to care what people think. And get into therapy a little earlier."
Jennifer Aniston was more than 'Friends' with these men

© 2005 Politics of Health Group
Site Design by Evolution Edge
About Politics of Health Group
Our health is critically influenced by the political and social situations in which we live and the exercise of power. Health inequalities are growing within and between communities, regions, countries and continents. Access to high quality health and social care is also distributed unfairly. At a time that has seen steady progress in the development of knowledge about how to promote health and the further development of technologies to tackle many diseases, we have also seen a growth in avoidable ill health and health inequality.
The Politics of Health Group Charter was published in 2004.This set out in full sixteen principles that should guide political action and policy development for health. In 2016 these principles were incorporated into the UK Charter for Health.
PoHG had a previous incarnation during the 1970s and 80s with similar principles. Then, as now, PoHG was driven by the belief that power exercised through politics and its impact on public policy is of fundamental importance for health. With the growth of movements holding similar values, such as the Health for All movement and the Public Health Alliance the original PoHG folded. As these movements in turn declined it became clear that there did not exist a body that was primarily concerned with how power and politics affect health and inequalities in health, and so PoHG was revived in 2002.
PoHGs coverage
PoHGs focus is UK wide but we also have an international perspective that recognises the influence of European and global issues on public health and health inequalities in the UK. In the light of political developments in Scotland, it is possible that there will be a divergence north of the border in terms of PoHG activity. There is a small group of active PoHG members in Scotland as well as in England, but PoHG has no significant presence in Wales or Northern Ireland.
We have no constitution but do have a set of guidelines for managing PoHG (see Guidelines below). PoHG consists of a loose network of supporters and contributors to email discussions via the universities JISCMAIL system. PoHG is run by a steering group of ten PoHG supporters who volunteer their time. From time to time we seek new steering group members via the email list. There are no paid workers. The steering group meets via telephone conferences with occasional face to face meetings. We have two co-chairs, a Treasurer and a general administrator.
We have no financial resources to speak of. We do not ask for a membership subscription but we occasionally appeal for donations from subscribers to the email list to support core functions such as hosting the website and telephone conferences. Face to face meetings have sometimes been supported financially or in kind by academic institutions or local authorities. We had a concerted effort to gain significant funding some years ago, resulting in some support for UK Health Watch 2005. Our successes have been the result of the efforts and goodwill of the steering group and a few other supporters and collaborating organisations. Another potentially useful resource is an extensive network of contacts, including some influential politicians.
Since its revival in 2002, despite our very limited resources, PoHG has made some significant progress (see Milestones below) including several publications, an active and lively email discussion group, web site, Facebook page, open meetings in London, Liverpool, Birmingham and elsewhere, workshops at conferences, joint initiatives with likeminded groups and more. We have worked with numerous other organisations to build momentum around health inequalities campaigning. We prepared good practice briefings incorporating a politics of health approach for people working in local government, the NHS, academia and the civil service. Working with Birmingham City University we organized a major national project in 2016 to mark the 30th Anniversary of the publication of the Ottawa Charter.
Several attempts at strategic planning have had mixed success and we have so far failed to make a breakthrough to build a vibrant mass movement that encompasses the academic, professional, and community sectors. We are refocusing our efforts to collaborate with likeminded organisations in order to reach a wider audience.
Guidelines for Managing the Group
Our Supporters
The Politics of Health Group consists of people from various walks of life who are concerned about the impact of power on health. Amongst our members are people who work in health and health related settings, in local government and in voluntary organisations, academics, community activists, retired people anyone who shares our values is welcome to join us.
