Metallica Members Rock National Anthem, Throw First Pitch at San Francisco Giants Game
This has been a week Metallica will definitely remember for quite some time to come. After receiving a whole lot of love at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods ceremony Thursday night in Los Angeles, the band headed back to the Bay Area on Friday (May 3) to join their local World Series-winning San Francisco Giants in some very special pre-game festivities.
The metal icons were saluted throughout the game with the Los Angeles Dodgers as the Giants presented "Metallica Day" at AT&T Park. The pre-game festivities included two parts, with James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett taking the field to perform the National Anthem and drummer Lars Ulrich getting the opportunity to throw the first pitch.
Hetfield and Hammett brought their amps along, plugged in and proceeded to rock an electric and completely instrumental version of Francis Scott Key's classic, 'The Star Spangled Banner.' Both musicians were decked out in Giants jerseys, with Hetfield specifically sporting the orange "SF" Giants emblem on his guitar. Footage of their performance can be seen below.
As for Ulrich, he too enjoyed the pre-game fun trotting out to the mound. Ulrich actually took a step behind the rubber, stretched for a second then tossed in the first pitch on a fly to Giants reliever Sergio Romo. He was then greeted by Romo with a high five and a hug. Fan-shot video of the drummer's first pitch can also be seen below.
To get ready for the game, the band recently jammed with Giants pitcher Barry Zito at their Metallica HQ rehearsal space. Watch footage from the MLB produced feature here.
Metallica are picking their spots for appearances this year, with their second annual Orion Music + More Festival being their next major outing. The band has been working on a new 3D film that's due in September and they've begun slowly working through material for their next album.

USU business school receives $6 million gift
Deseret News
LOGAN — Utah State University's business school is moving forward with the creation of the Jeffrey D. Clark Center for Entrepreneurship after receiving a $6 million endowment from Jeffrey and Bonnie Clark, school officials announced Wednesday.
The endowment will be used to fund the center's headquarters in the Logan campus' Huntsman Hall, which is scheduled to complete construction and open in 2015. Funds from the endowment will also support programs in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business that foster entrepreneurial success among USU students.
"This gift from Jeff and Bonnie and their active involvement with our entrepreneurship programs will move us ahead significantly," Douglas D. Anderson, dean of the Jon M. Huntsman school of business, said in a prepared statement. "Now we can provide ever-more concrete, effective assistance to budding entrepreneurs who have great ideas they want to develop."

ALLEN PARK - With their second- and third-round NFL draft picks the Detroit Lions filled draft needs and worked toward their goal of getting bigger, stronger and faster.
Cornerback Darius Slay (Mississippi State) was selected in the second round, followed by offensive guard Larry Warford (Kentucky) in the third round on Friday.
Both will compete for starting jobs. Slay to start next to Chris Houston and Warford to fill the opening at right guard.
Slay had the fastest 40 time (4.36) among defensive backs at the NFL Combine. He said he gets his speed naturally.
'My mom and dad both ran track so I've been pretty fast for a long time,'' Slay said on a conference call.
Slay, who is 6-foot and 192 pounds, tore meniscus in the offseason.
'I feel like I'm moving real good right now,'' Slay said on a conference call Friday night. 'It never really did (bother me), they just did an MRI on it and saw something there, a torn meniscus and that was it.''
'We're very aware of where he is physically right now,'' Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said. 'He's in good physical condition. We're aware there's an issue with his knee and we're comfortable with that.''
Mayhew wouldn't speculate whether he will be ready to participate in organized team activities in May. Coach Jim Schwartz said it's not a long-term injury.
'We've been trying to find that big corner, we've talked about that. Everybody is looking for that guy,'' Mayhew said. 'He has a lot of that same stuff. He's good in press coverage, he's physical against the run.''
Slay said when he visited the Lions a few weeks ago they made it clear they were interested.
'I'm ready to compete, I can't wait to get Detroit,'' Slay said on the NFL Network immediately after the pick.
In the first round on Thursday night, the Lions drafted defensive end Ziggy Ansah out of BYU.
Coach Jim Schwartz said Warford has been called 'Big Larry' since he was 5. That's unlikely to change in Detroit for the guard who is 6-foot-3 and 333 pounds.
If Big Larry wasn't so big he might not have been drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round (65th overall) on Friday night.
Warford started 37 straight games as the right guard at Kentucky and was all-SEC in 2012
'He's a big man that can anchor and can hold up inside in pass pro(tection),'' Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said. 'That was one of the appealing things about him as a player.''
In 2012 Warford made all 12 starts for the Wildcats and led the team in knockdown blocks (45), grading out at 90.3 and he didn't allow a sack.
'I'm pretty aggressive. But more than that I feel that my knowledge of my position and what I'm supposed to be doing is the most important so I can play a lot faster than if I was edgy about that stuff,'' Warford said on a conference call. 'I feel like I'm a really great run blocker and pass blocker. I want to try to keep progressing as a player, try to get better and become an expert on my position.''
If there's been a knock on Warford it's his weight and keeping it in control. He's been working out since leaving Kentucky with former NFL center LeCharles Bentley. Warford said it's not so much the pounds as it is the body composition.
He's changed his diet eliminating carbs and changed his weight room work.
As part of the offensive line, Warford will be asked to protect and work with Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush.
'II wasn't thinking about that until you said it, my heart leaped a little,'' Warford said. 'There's extra motivation. I was in high school when Reggie Bush was at USC that guy was crazy good. ... All those guys, it's ridiculous, I'm extremely excited right now.''

It was the first edition of a complete polyglot Bible as well as the first printed version of New Testament in Greek, of the Septante and Targoum Onkelos. Conceived between 1502 and 1517, she was thought, financed and largely supervised by the cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros.
The first drawings were carried out in 1995 and begun again in 2011 for the publication by a publishing house of a complete Bible based on the revised translation of J. NR. Darby, in French and Malgache.

Getting to the UN Broadband Commission's 2015 Goals
Earlier this week, I attended the UN's Broadband Commission meeting in Ohrid, Macedonia, where we discussed initiatives to reach the Commission's goals by 2015:
1) All countries have national broadband plans;
2) Broadband is affordable in developing countries so that entry-level broadband services cost less than 5% of average month income;
3) Broadband is adopted by 40% of households in developing countries; and that
4) Broadband penetration reaches 60% of the worldwide population and 50% in developing countries
To support this vision of an ever expanding Internet that people see as essential, Cisco sponsored the 83rd Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) meeting last week in Paris. At the IETF, more than 1,400 of the leading Internet engineers and technologists from around the world gathered to further develop the standards which provide the foundation for Internet services such as domain names, email, the Web, and instant messaging.
The IETF is nearing its 30th year of developing standards that have contributed to an Internet that is now utilized by over two billion people, fostered by a governance model that is largely self-regulatory and multi-stakeholder.
The Internet has grown up and is now essential to the 21st century global economy and a key driver of social development. But current challenges remain, such as extending the Internet to under-served areas and people, especially through wireless technology, and addressing issues of trust.
To achieve the UN Broadband Commission's goal, and to expand the use of the Internet to the next billion, and the four billion people after that, the IETF and the Internet's multi-stakeholder technical community must continue to address challenges, getting ahead of issues before they become problems.
The tremendous rate of growth of the Internet has been fueled by conscious decisions along the way that provided a vibrant and open environment where innovation flourishes. The Internet was not an accident. The technical community, encompassing the IETF and others, plays a critical role in leading efforts to continue this rapid expansion of the benefits of connectivity, while ensuring the future and freedom of the Internet. And we are committed to the IETF as one of the key forums where Internet standards are developed and core Internet principles are protected and fostered.

By Esther Kyung Ah Chung | Undergraduate | Biological Sciences
International Student Ambassador
Movie nights. Late night girl talks. Cooking nights. Cheese party. Study all-nighters. It all happens right here, in the dorms.
It all started with getting to know the students on my floor. In our first week of moving in, the students got together on the wide grass lawn right outside of Governors and played Ninja. It started the party; a couple of kids from the same floor started to plan morning jogs, and soon enough, half the hall joined in for a nice morning jog around North Campus!
That was the start of our friendship. As Clinton Hall of Governors Complex had a large number of international students, many of them got together and made a potluck dinner for each other. Foods consisted of ramen noodles and bulgogi (stir-fried meat) from South Korea, dumplings and spicy tofu from China, fried rice from Malaysia, spicy shrimp curry from India and so forth.
Governors always had something for me, whether it was the food, the entertainment, the space or the equipment. All four halls, Lehman, Clinton, Dewey and Roosevelt, connected in one Governors Complex. It really helped me excel socially, academically and physically during my freshman year. It is one thing that I won't be able to forget!

In November, Assassin's Creed IV writer Darby McDevitt put out a challenge on Twitter:
Three months later, someone's finally done it. YouTuber Kosappi Uni found the hidden message buried in the sound files of Ubisoft's pirate game, and posted it in a video (embedded above). It's strange, and meta, and kind of funny, especially if you've beaten the game and learned more about John from IT. (For further, spoiler-filled reading on John, check out the Assassin's Creed wiki.)
Really, it's amazing, in today's world, that McDevitt and his team managed to keep an easter egg hidden for this long. Good work, guys and gals.

B.C. experts predict 2013 garden trends
John Schroeder, president of Valleybrook Gardens, of Abbotsford, one of the biggest perennial growers in Canada:
• Vegetables and herbs are on a real upward trajectory. There is more interest in incorporating edibles in the landscape.
• Top perennial breeding companies continue to work at improving old standard varieties to increase consistency and performance. Gardeners will have access to better performing varieties than before.
• New plant varieties are spreading around the world faster than ever before.
Gary Lewis, owner of Phoenix Perennials, of Richmond:
• Veggies, herbs and berries will continue to be popular with the gardening public because of better flavour, unique food experiences and the growing appreciation for locally grown, organic food.
• Gardeners will continue to be drawn to perennials that provide long seasons of bloom.
• Small spaces require small plants. Dwarf hostas and a new line of dwarf heuchera from Terra Nova will hit this need.
Brian Minter, owner of Minter Gardens and Minter Country Garden Centre, Chilliwack:
• New values will be applied to plants as people become more aware of the benefits of having plants in their life to improve their living space and relieve stress.
• The gardening industry will work harder to provide value and quality information and a higher degree of relevancy and authenticity.
Leanne Johnson, chief operating officer of GardenWorks chain of garden centres:
• Small-space gardening will continue to be a hot trend, but the emphasis will shift a little to Gen Y consumers who love being in their garden, enjoying the beauty, the peace of it or entertaining friends in their small space gardens.
• More people will try growing their own groceries as even people with small-spaces discover they can grow vegetables, herbs and fruit in containers. It's an exciting trend.

Here's an uber-fast rundown of everything I've been up to since the last post:
1) A Christmas Special for Scream magazine with collaborator PM Buchan, of course
2) A meal and sip of scotch whisky with Anders Nilsen, don'tchuknow
3) A new issue of the Big Bang (available here)
4) A nice weekend at Thought Bubble comic con
5) A new print in the Etsy Store
6) A talk and stall lined up for tomorrow's Canny Comic Con
And here's a little bit of an expansion on these news items:
A Christmas Special for Scream Magazine
The third and, alas, final for now, submission to Scream Magazine that PM Buchan and I will be submitting, but what a corker. It's about the legend of Krampus in the modern age and is a gloriously blood-soaked festive treat. We're selling the three strips we've submitted as a limited numbered set, so if you run into either me or Bucky out and about in the comic world (or if you check my Etsy shop after this weekend) you'll be able to score yourself a copy for a mere £2 English. Here's a sneaky peak:
A Meal and a Sip of Scotch Whisky with Anders Nilsen
Due to being at a wedding, I wasn't able to make it to the recent Anders Nilsen signing for Big Questions at Travelling Man. But although I don't work there anymore, I still invivte myself to all of their social events. So naturally, when I found out they were wining and dining him the night before, I gatecrashed. I also brought with me an arsenal of comics that I knew he'd want to see by Angus McKie in a vain attempt to get a mention on his blog. And guess what, you guys? I (sort of) did! Here's some grainy photos of Anders looking uncomfortable and me looking happier than I've ever been in my sad little life, plus the awesome sketch he did for me:
The Big Bang Issue Three - A Comic for Dennis Brown (+ New Print)
Please welcome to the fold Issue Three of The Big Bang series. This issue is a mini comic, featuring 12 pages of delicious greyscale story all about the life of Dennis Brown, the bus driver who makes his first appearance at the beginning of The Big Bang Issue Two. The subheading is a reference to the song "A Song for Dennis Brown" by The Mountain Goats.
While this issue doesn't carry on from the previous one, it offers extra depth to the character and should enhance your reading of the issues yet to come. On the other hand, it can also work as a standalone story without any need to have read issues one and two. The story is broken up into three parts – Dennis' childhood, his early adulthood and his midlife career choice to drive buses.
Go buy it! And while you're there, buy this too:
A Nice Weekend at Thought Bubble
It was a nice weekend, and too nice to possibly go into all of the details with the limited time I have. Great catching up with folks I don't get to catch up with otherwise, nice being at the mercy of Joe Public during my (now customary) "Draw Anything You Want For £5" social experiment and I also had the chance to make my peace for not bowing down in servitude to the wonderously talented Kristyna Baczynski the last couple of times I unwittingly spoke to her at the con.
Talk and Stall at Canny Comic Con
It's probably a bit late in the day to be informing you of this now, but my co-conspiritor on The Big Bang has organised an incredible schedule of talks, workshops, panels and seminars to take place in a hall full of comic stalls at Newcastle City Library tomorrow (10th December!) - in other words, he's finally filled the gap between Leeds and Inverness that the comic-convention-going people of the North needed! I'll be doing a 30minute talk starting at 10am called "What Comics Aren't" and I'll also be selling my wares all the live long day. Go to the CCC website and brace yourself to be punched in the face with awesome.

Fifteen schools get recognized at state-level for initiative.
Fifteen Lenoir County Schools were recognized last week by the state�s Department of Public Instruction at a Durham ceremony for how well the Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Initiative was implemented � a major contribution to Lenoir County�s school violence rate decrease over the last two years.
The schools showed PBIS is being applied with a �high level of fidelity,� according to a press release.
June Atkinson, North Carolina�s superintendent of public instruction, distributed certificates and banners to a large LCS crowd who turned up to the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center for the awards service.
�We are very proud of these schools for changing the climate in the schools,� said Lenoir County PBIS Coordinator Jill Croom. �I think it�s just proving (and) exemplifying that we are not just doing PBIS just to be doing it. It�s being recognized at a state level. It�s being done with fidelity, and (the schools) are implementing PBIS the right way.�
DPI recognized 390 North Carolina schools this year, giving one of three honors rankings for the level of implementation: Green, Model and Exemplar, the highest of the trio. Three Lenoir County schools � Northwest and Banks Elementary and Woodington Middle School � were recognized as Exemplar schools for outstanding behavioral improvement, which was determined from student referral data coupled with another any other data element outside of the application components.
Schools submitted application to DPI in June that included proof of PBIS administrative support and completion of PBIS training modules, among other elements. Schools were scored on the evaluation of the program�s overall implementation.
LCS has been involved with the state-wide initiative since the 2007-08 school year. Since then, the county�s three high schools have begun implementing PBIS, which started with only elementary and middle schools.
Schools in Lenoir County recognized by Department of Public Instruction:
n Banks Elementary*
n Contentnea-Savannah
n Frink Middle
n Kinston High
n La Grange Elementary
n Moss Hill Elementary
n North Lenoir High
n Northeast Elementary
n Northwest Elementary*
n Pink Hill Elementary
n Rochelle Middle
n Sampson School
n Southeast Elementary
n Southwood Elementary
n Woodington Middle*
* indicates schools that received �Exemplar� rating for outstanding behavioral improvement.For more information about the North Carolina Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Initiative, visit ncpublicschools.org/positivebehavior

Cage 3 is one of the best shoes but not durable
acct-1 - May 05, 2019
It is one of the best shoes in the market. I like the comfort and also allows me to maneuver around the court easily. Durability is an issue, my current pair upper right shoe is ripped and left toe has 2 small holes in less than 2 weeks. Nike should reinforce the toe area to make it a better shoes.
tennisplayer594 - Mar 18, 2019
The shoes wear out really fast and don't have very much traction. They are a little slippery on hard courts. They are also a little hard to put on because of the sock-like interior.
Really Nice Shoe
joshg237236057 - Feb 24, 2019
Shoe Runs a bit small, I'm a 10 but had to exchange them for a 10.5. Go half size bigger if you are buying. Overall shoe is comfortable, very stylish, looks and feels amazing.

Today's Worst Dad Award goes to Australian "Snakeman" Raymond Hoser, who let two poisonous snakes, a taipan and a death adder, bite his daughter to prove they were de-venomized and safe. Apparently this demonstration was intended as a response to charges that he had breached his Commercial Wildlife Demonstrator License, because nothing shows you're a conscientious animal handler like letting something with "death" in its name bite your kid. The girl was apparently not poisoned, but she was left with bleeding bite marks and the beginnings of a really lucrative memoir.

In a recent survey by SH101, close to 1,000 students described incidents of racial bias that they've observed or experienced, usually in school. We asked students and experts to identify the implications of key incidents and ways that we can all help relieve racial pressures (next page). In each scenario, click to see what the issue can look like in college and how we can all respond in ways that help. For dynamic resources that dig deeper into these themes, see Get help or find out more.
When did you last talk about race? And how did that conversation go? Race and racial discrimination are major themes in the US, with fears and tensions heightened during the presidential transition. An overwhelming majority of students who responded to a fall SH101 survey (93 percent) agreed that racism is a real problem. Yet race is a topic that's notoriously difficult to talk about without invoking accusations and defensiveness. It can be challenging both to think honestly about our own perspectives and to look through a different lens. The goal is growth, not shame.
Why is this difficult? In part, because racial bias is based in stereotypes so familiar that they have become difficult to see. "Those ingrained stereotypes are for the most part invisible, existing as everyday assumptions," says Dr. Kevin FitzMaurice, associate professor in the Department of Indigenous at the University of Sudbury, Ontario.
Options for reporting race-based abuse, attacks, and hate crimes
It is important to report incidents that seem to be motivated by bias based on race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, or other factors relating to the victim's identity. You have several reporting options.
How to report a hate crime
As soon as possible after the incident, write down any and all details of the crime. Include the gender, age, height, race, weight, clothing, and other distinguishing characteristics of the perpetrator(s), and any threats or biased comments that were made. (These guidelines were developed by the Human Rights Campaign, a civl rights organization representing LGBTQ communities.)
How to file a police report (guidelines by the Human Rights Campaign)
- Get the responding officer's name and badge number.
- Make sure the officer files an incident report form and assigns a case number.
- If a police report is not taken at the time of your report, go to the police station and ask for one. Always get your own copy, even of the preliminary report.
- If you believe the incident was bias-motivated, urge the officer to check the "hate/bias-motivation" or "hate crime/incident" box on the police report.
How to report on campus
- Contact the office of the Dean of Student Affairs (or equivalent), the Title IX Coordinator, or the campus security/public safety department.
- If you are unsure of whether and how to report the incident on campus, consider talking it through with a mentor, RA, or counselor.
- Before disclosing, ask about the implications for confidentiality.
How to report to your state's FBI and/or Attorney General
In addition to filing a police report, you can report the crime to the FBI and your state Attorney General.

How to report to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)
The SPLC is monitoring incidents of hate-based intimidation and harassment nationally.
What is a hate crime?
"A hate crime is the violence of intolerance and bigotry, intended to hurt and intimidate someone because of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious, sexual orientation, or disability."
—US Department of Justice
Hate crimes can involve the threat or reality of rape, sexual assault, or physical assault, verbal abuse, use of weapons, arson, vandalism, robbery, and attacks on homes, places of worship, and other locations. When crimes are motivated by hate, the criminal penalties can be more severe. "Hate crimes are the highest priority of the FBI's Civil Rights program," says the Federal Bureau of Investigation (on its website).
What everyday discrimination looks like
Some racial discrimination is blatant. In the context of the presidential campaign and election, reports of hate crimes increased, say the Southern Poverty Law Center and FBI. Another type of discrimination is more common, however. Comments that carry negative implications based on race and ethnicity—"microaggressions"—are part of everyday life for people of color. (Here, "people of color" refers to anyone who isn't white—although these incidents fall more heavily on some groups than others.) They happen in class, at our jobs and internships, on the sidewalk, while shopping, at restaurants. We're talking about women's purse-clutches when a black or Latino male walks by, and well-meaning comments that imply a low bar based on race ("You're so well-spoken!"). These actions sometimes reflect unconscious (or implicit) biases, research shows. "It happens in subtle ways, especially in higher ed institutions," says a fourth-year graduate student at the University of North Dakota.
Why "small stuff" has a large impact
Racial discrimination takes a psychological toll that is different from other life stressors, research shows (Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2007 & 2008). And while diversity awareness has grown at higher-ed institutions, microaggressions continue to make many students feel unwelcome, potentially harming their academic prospects, according to a 2014 study by Harvard University's "Voices of Diversity" project.
For example, Black students divert considerable cognitive and emotional energy toward dealing with microaggressions, research shows (American Psychologist, 2007). This includes the dilemma of how to respond in ways that do not reinforce stereotypes. People of color who routinely encounter microaggressions are at greater risk of depression, pain, fatigue, and other health issues, according to a meta-analysis of studies in Race and Social Problems (2014).
We can STEP UP in simple ways
We can all help build an inclusive community that brings everyone closer to meeting their potential—a community that does not tolerate casually expressed biases. Our actions need not be confrontational or divisive; they can be as simple as not laughing at a derogatory joke. It's also vital to listen to others, build self-awareness, and learn to tolerate the discomfort of the conversation. "Self-reflection allows us to be open," says Keith Jones, a race and disability activist in Boston, Massachusetts.
Eight everyday scenarios and how they can go better
"In high school my guidance counselor would refuse to give me the classes I wanted because she didn't think I would be able to 'handle them' even though I ended up graduating top of my class. She had also asked me how I had gotten 89% on my academic English class when English was my second language." —Third-year graduate student, St. Clair College, Canada
"They have discriminated and bullied me by slandering my work and saying I have only gotten here because I am Native American [via affirmative action]. I am a third-year PhD student." —Third-year graduate student, University of California Los Angeles
Expert perspective: Perception is powerful
Low expectations are the product of stereotypes. Keith Jones, who has won multiple awards for his achievements in community empowerment, runs into this prejudice even as he is paid to address audiences nationwide. "Off stage, they look at me, a Black man in a wheelchair, as though I rolled out of a pile of manure," he says. "Then as I'm speaking in front of the audience, they treat me as the greatest thing since sliced bread. That has nothing to do with me changing and everything to do with their perception changing."
Research has shown conclusively that intelligence is robustly related to the environment—including the stimulation and opportunities that may or may not come our way (Psychological Bulletin, 2014). Discrimination is part of that environment. Racial stereotypes themselves generate uneven outcomes, and this starts early. For example, a 2016 study found that non-Black grade school teachers had systemically low expectations of Black students, especially boys (Economics of Education Review)—a bias that could shape students' prospects in school and life, researchers said.
How we can unpack stereotypes
Try a thought experiment
- "Put this in a very personal frame. What do people expect of you? If you failed in school, would that make you exactly what they'd thought you were?"
- "Switch up the stereotypes: What if your favorite football player, the jock, wanted to be recognized as more than that; 'Now you want to be seen as a physicist? Only dumb jocks play football.'"
—Keith Jones, advocate for access and inclusion related to race and disability, Boston, Massachusetts
Call out the bias
"I wish I could have confronted them that their responses were offensive and that many people from different ethnicities pursue STEM majors. It shouldn't be surprising to anyone that a young Hispanic American female student is pursuing [a career as] a scientist." —Third-year student, College of the Desert, California
Point to the more complex reality
"Acknowledge that it is harder for a student of color to accomplish the same task that a Caucasian person sets out to do. Take a look at the huge difference [in numbers] between students of color [and white people] earning a college degree, or how hard it is to be taken seriously in the working world as a person of color." —Second-year student, Community College of Denver, Colorado
Expand your network
"Sometimes you just need to be the friend that invites someone outside of your group in." —First-year graduate student, Humber College, Ontario
Discuss the implications
"[I hear negative] stereotypes mostly. They're not meant to be harmful, but I try to remind them it's a slippery slope. These aren't bad guys: We had a conversation about how the low-key racism our parents grew up in is still instilled in their words, and to an extent is in everyone. Humans classify and divide everything, even each other." —Second-year graduate student, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
"As an Asian American student, it seems as though I have been expected to be good at math and an overall good student based upon preconceptions associated with those of Asian decent." —Second-year graduate student, Gonzaga University, Washington
"Positive stereotypes can lead to anxiety and depression when there is a failure to meet the expectations you may put on yourself, influenced by external forces." —Fourth-year student, Northern Illinois University
Expert perspective: Positive generalizations are harmful too
All stereotypes erase individuality. In direct encounters, positive stereotypes are depersonalizing and divisive, according to a study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (2013). "When you use stereotypes, even if you think them positive, you are discounting the complexities of large groups of people," says Paul Kivel, a social justice educator, activist, writer, and co-founder of the Showing Up for Racial Justice network, which helps white people organize in support of people of color (POC). Examining our own stereotypes helps us see others as individuals.
Here's the trap: We are much more likely to tolerate positive stereotypes than negative stereotypes, according to a study in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology (2013). Those positive stereotypes reinforce the idea that racial generalizations are valid and implicitly give weight to negative generalizations too. For example, the positive stereotype of Black athletes contributed to a more negative view of black people, the researchers found.
How we can respond positively to "positive" stereotypes
Call out positive generalizations too
"Attempting to put someone in a cookie-cutter box that society has created is not only insulting but rather is a reflection of you and your thoughts." —Fifth-year student, California State University San Bernadino
Expand your social network
"Not all meaningful action has to take place within the boundaries of activism, rallies, and revolts. I live in an incredibly multicultural city [and] attend a magnificently multiethnic church. The best way to overcome racism is by being purposeful about building relationships. It might be hard or weird at first. It's definitely awkward at times. But it is oh, so worth it." —Fourth-year student, Humber College, Ontario
Challenge your beliefs
"I think the mistakes made by most people are founded in ignorance. Leave your perceptions and stereotypes at the door, and begin grounding your beliefs in knowledge, not conjecture." —Graduate student, Creighton University, Nebraska
Get comfortable with self-awareness
"Learn to recognize microaggressions, and don't be afraid to admit if you've done any of them. Make it a learning experience to better yourself." —Fifth-year student, Portland State University, Oregon
"My friend's teachers often ask for 'a different kind of view,' but only look at the [people of color] in the room." —Third-year student, Gonzaga University, Washington
"They make assumptions based on stereotypes. They assume that single story they have heard is true for all people that fall into whatever category that stereotype fits. We all have a very unique journey, and unless you are willing to ask relevant questions and listen openly, you are doing whomever you are with a disservice." —Second-year student, Des Moines Area Community College, Iowa
"Teachers and assignments assume that people are white. They often ask questions that position students as privileged and ask what they can do to combat it. It's great if you are privileged but very marginalizing if you aren't." —Fourth-year student, British Columbia
Expert perspective: One person is one person
The culture and experiences of people of color are vastly complex and distinctive. "Spokesperson pressure" or "tokenism" denies that variation. "It is impossible for one person to offer the 'perspective' of an entire group," says Dr. Carla Shedd, a Columbia University sociologist and author of Unequal City: Race, Schools, & Perceptions of Injustice (Russell Sage Foundation, 2015). "And it is unfair for teachers or students to ask an individual, especially one who may identify with or belong to an underrepresented or marginalized group, to be a group representative."
If we assume that one story or perspective is enough, people can be dismissed as "interchangeable and undifferentiable," says activist Paul Kivel. This is why it's important to listen to a multitude of voices and acquaint ourselves with a variety of resources, including biographies, blogs, and film.
How we can stop singling people out
Consider discussing the angle
"You can challenge this without accusing people of racism. You can ask, what is the underlying perspective of this exercise? Is this designed to be gender- and ethnicity-neutral? Was there a particular kind of student you had in mind?" —Keith Jones, advocate for access and inclusion related to race and disability, Boston, Massachusetts
Avoid putting people on the spot
"If the conversation always steers toward how they feel as the only POC in the friend group, you're doing it wrong." —Second-year student, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Minnesota
Remember how general these generalizations are
"'Hispanic' is very broad, as there are many different cultures in the population. Being Mexican is very different from being Puerto Rican, or Brazilian, or Columbian." —Fourth-year student, Northern Illinois University
Recognize that we each have a racial and ethnic identity
"We should really think about why white people do not see themselves as a race. They seldom view the construct around race as impacting them at all." —Third-year graduate student, University of Maryland College Park
Respect each person's individuality
"Don't refer to people as 'you guys' or 'them,' i.e., judging the whole group. Instead, refer to the individual." —First-year student, Nova Scotia Community College
Recognize differences and commonalities
"Rather than ignoring race and color, value race and culture other than one's own, learn from one another, allow bonds and teams to form that are not based on race." —Fourth-year student, Northwest University, Washington
Call people in, not out
"I think professors and fellow students (especially those experiencing privilege) can be accountable and check the statements of those around them when they're being discriminatory, and with friendly education calling people 'in' instead of 'calling them out.'" —Second-year graduate student, University of Victoria, British Columbia
"This year's required book is Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which discusses what it's like to navigate being black in our world today. Most do not see value in reading it." —Fourth-year student, Marian University Indianapolis, Indiana
"[People think] racism is dead because it appears people of color have the same opportunities as a Caucasian person. A person of color has to run to the same goal a Caucasian person can leisurely walk to." —Second-year student, Community College of Denver
"I've been in classes where people have literally said, 'Racism doesn't even exist anymore, like why are we even talking about this,' and I felt like my entire life was a joke." —Third-year student, University of Massachusetts Boston
Expert perspective: Racial discrimination is present all around us
Racial prejudice and its effects have been extensively documented. Studies and the lived experience of many people show "widespread evidence of high current levels of discrimination, harassment, exclusion, and violence directed against POC in every aspect of our society," says activist Paul Kivel. Research continues to show how racial discrimination narrows access for POC to education, careers, legal justice, and health care. Headline-making events that undermine citizens' sense of safety can amplify these barriers. "In the wake of the Freddie Gray trial, I became more aware of how unsafe my environment might be when I leave campus," says a fifth-year student at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. "There have been moments when I couldn't complete my school tasks because I was emotionally overwhelmed by social injustices."
To those who deny the reality of racial discrimination, try asking them to prove it, says activist Keith Jones: "Before I say it does exist, show me why it doesn't." Real-world examples help tell the story. "If you don't want to hear about privilege, ask yourself, what is the diversity of your student body? Also look at the space your campus is physically occupying. In Boston (my city), universities have taken over the neighborhoods that were home to multigenerational families of color."
How we can open up to discussions about racial discrimination
Check out this social experiment
"Have a Black male student and a white male student call Uber and see who gets to the destination first." (Car ride passengers who have African American–sounding names experience longer wait times and far more cancellations than passengers with "white" names, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, 2016.) —Keith Jones, advocate for access and inclusion related to race and disability, Boston, Massachusetts
Listen to others
"Students of color must be constantly thinking of their race—they're confronted with it through microaggressions, through any history class. Listen, because while it may be easy for us to ignore race, POC don't get that privilege." —Fourth-year student, Notre Dame of Maryland University
Stay informed
"My approach thus far is to be attentive to potential tense social situations and mindful of my own actions, and I make an effort to educate myself on contemporary issues without placing the burden of finding that knowledge on my friends of color." —Graduate student, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Open up to the issue
"Students can look honestly at their own beliefs and prejudices and actively work toward changing. They can accept that they may be benefiting from systematic [advantages] and choose to support those of us who aren't. They can choose to be better than their parents, better than their grandparents, and better than they were a year ago or even a month ago." —Student, community college, US
Avoid playing devil's advocate
"Don't purposely give an unfavorable opinion about racism or racial issues just to spark anger or a debate." —Fifth-year student, University of Colorado Denver
Tap into your own experience
"Talk. It's true that you may not know what oppression feels like, but you do know what it feels like to be in pain, and oppression hurts. Many things hurt. In discussion about needing to be there for one another, every being can be included." —Fourth-year student, Western Washington University
"As a born Canadian, my religious and normal rights have been taken away or altered to accommodate other races or religious beliefs. They do not feel they have to accommodate mine." —Second-year graduate student, St. Clair College, Ontario
"To be frank, the only discrimination I see is against white males who are trying to get an education and are constantly put on the bottom of the pile." —Second-year student, Western Wyoming Community College
Comedian Aamer Rahman's 3-minute guide to "reverse racism"
Expert perspective: "Reverse racism" is not systemic
Affirmative action policies, and other attempts to address systemic racial discrimination, have fed into a belief in "reverse racism," a 2011 study in Perspectives on Psychological Science found; such policies are viewed by some white people as a barrier to their own success. Their experience is direct and personal, for example, the scholarship for which they are not eligible.
Those frustrations, however, do not constitute systemic discrimination based on skin color (which would be racism). Robust evidence shows that historically, government policies and social norms have produced better opportunities, environments, and outcomes for some members of society than for others. People of color are vastly underrepresented through our political, legal, educational, media, and corporate institutions. Those who are successful are seen as exceptions to the norm and held up as spokespeople for their racial or ethnic group.
The disparities at the top reflect uneven opportunities below. For example, in a 2003 study, résumés with Black-sounding names received 50 percent fewer callbacks for an interview than identical résumés with white-sounding names (American Economic Review). Similarly, racial discrimination contributes to "persistent and vexing health disadvantages" among African Americans, according to a study in the Annual Review of Psychology (2007).
How we can think constructively about "reverse racism"
Cite real-world examples
"Out of 5,400+ banking institutions in the US, 5,200+ are owned by white men. Two Fortune 500 companies are headed by white women, the rest by white men. Out of 45 presidents, one has been a POC. Of all the speakers of the House and Senate majority leaders, we have yet to have a POC. When the country is almost 400 years old, that says something." —Keith Jones, advocate for access and inclusion related to race and disability, Boston, Massachusetts
"Listening is a big step. Instead of bringing in a counterargument when a person of color talks about their experience, listen. Too many voices are silenced because of inadequate representation in media, faculty, etc." —Third-year student, Queen's University, Ontario
Get brave about self-exploration
"Look at your own biases, look at your inner circle and see who is/isn't included and why." —Shermin Murji, MPH, health educator; doctoral student, Florida State University
Know that this is not a contest
"Stop insisting that 'all lives matter' when that's not the issue they're discussing with Black Lives Matter. Realize that white students are privileged even if they've worked hard to get where they are." —Fifth-year student, University of Regina, Saskatchewan
Accept the complexity of the issue
"Thoughtfully recognize and listen to the arguments that systemic racism is real, acknowledging a history that continues in different and similar forms. Research epigenetics and neuropsychology—how trauma and even bias can carry throughout our lives genetically, culturally, and environmentally." —First-year student, Red Rocks Community College, Colorado
Know that this is an ongoing process
"I am a white person who has gone through white-privilege acknowledgement and systemic racism discussions with a community of POC and often find myself having to consciously recognize my own indoctrinated bias." —First-year student, Red Rocks Community College, Colorado
"A writer for one of my university's student publications wrote an article that mocked the microaggressions and racism that minority students experience on a daily basis. It was an April Fool's Day article but was completely inappropriate. It included a demand that a wall be built around the campus' Chicano/Latino community center and that one of the Chicano/Latino student groups pay for it." —First-year graduate student, University of California Davis
"Public safety once made a joke at an event my Indian club held on campus about a student having a bomb. The student was shocked, disappointed, and bothered by this 'joke.'" —First-year graduate student, St. John's University, New York
"Being white allows people to say things that may seem satirical, but likely come from a biased point of view against those of another race." —Graduate student, Clemson University, South Carolina
Expert perspective: Disparaging "humor" has unfunny effects
In studies, humor that targets certain communities has the effect of validating prejudice and discriminatory actions toward members of those communities (Personality and Social Psychology Review, 2004).
Disparaging comments "reinforce stereotypes and misinformation" and are "racist whether or not the disrespect was intentional, whether or not a member of that group was present, and whether or not it is claimed to be a joke," says activist Paul Kivel.
Racial slurs carry pain for "those who have suffered violence behind them either today or in the past," says Kivel. By using derogatory slurs and terms, whether as a joke or an attack, we ignore the history contained in those words. In effect, we seem to sanction that past abuse.
How we can respond thoughtfully to derogatory humor
Call it out
"I remind them that whatever task or deficit they claim, even in jest, about another race, isn't true. Calmly tell them to take it easy." —Second-year graduate student, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
Let the "joker" feel uncomfortable
"As an ally, it is important to call others out when they make racist remarks. #makeitawkward" —Fifth-year student, University of Victoria, British Columbia
Follow up with the targeted person
"In such a situation, I would want to talk to the victim one-on-one, and just try to express that they weren't treated fairly, and empathize with them." —Second-year student, Portland State University, Oregon
Avoid being casual or presumptuous with language
"There are still instances of white students who feel comfortable throwing around certain racial epitaphs because they grew up around black peers. And it's not OK. They [do] not truly understand the painful history and hurt and degradation behind these words." —Fifth-year student, Old Dominion University, Virginia
Consider the context
"Recognize the setting: when, where, why, and what is the joke about. Comedians can use dark humor to spread awareness, to get people to understand that their jokes are filled with stories [about experiences] that are not OK." —Fourth-year student, Western Washington University
"I have worked on many group projects with an all-Caucasian demographic except me. In those groups, I find my inputs don't count as much as when I'm working with groups containing more minorities." —Third-year student, University of Victoria, British Columbia
"I once attended an African American event in which some students spoke about the discrimination that they sometimes faced in a class with predominately white students. How people will not look at them or avoid them or look down upon eye contact. These students felt alienated from their fellow class mates." —Name and school withheld
"I don't look First Nation, so I often have the opportunity to be a fly on the wall. People are just generally unaware of how exclusive they are being. I was in a class recently where everyone, including the professor, used language like 'we' and 'they.' We just don't know, based on the color of our skin, who is part of what ethnic or cultural group." —Third-year student, British Columbia
Expert perspective: Change the broader scene by changing the personal scene
On an individual level, we can be immediately inclusive. "You don't have to agree with or like everyone," says activist Keith Jones. "Understand, however, that if you are behaving in ways that make another person's life worse, you are compliant. You can end this. You can literally, today, decide 'I'm never going to tolerate racism or prejudice again, ever.'"
This takes self-reflection. Racial bias is widespread in human groups and cultures—yet this does not give us an out. Bias causes varying levels of harm, depending partly on the social structure in which it occurs.
"Addressing racism means recognizing that we all have the capacity to harm, but also the opportunity to learn and grow," says Lydia Brown, a race and disability activist and a graduate student at Northeastern University School of Law, Massachusetts. "Among Asians, being people of color doesn't mean we are automatically exculpated forever from being anti-Black, for example. I don't think it's the exact same thing as when white people discriminate, but it's not OK, whether we call it racist, biased, or bigoted."
How we can include each other
Introduce yourself
"I find that the more students mix with others and learn more about various cultures, the more understanding they become." —Third-year student, University of Windsor, Ontario
Reach out
"Once a person truly gets to know someone I would hope that he or she will be better able to understand from where they are coming from, and that should give them a starting place to making reparations." —Second-year graduate student, Missouri University of Science and Technology
Attend events hosted by POC
"Participate in diversity events. Support your fellow students of color by hearing what they have to say, what they're dealing with." —Second-year student, Sarah Lawrence College, New York
Try another thought experiment
"How many of you have joined a particular social organization? Why are you thinking being part of that particular group is better than any other group?" —Keith Jones, advocate for access and inclusion related to race and disability, Boston, Massachusetts
Push through if possible
"At times when I felt excluded, I figured I could simply be expressive, and this has always created some unique experiences." —Fourth-year student, Northern Illinois University
Actively support other communities
Spend money at minority-owned businesses; hold institutions accountable (school administrations, local government, etc.), support programs and policies that serve communities of color, and rally around causes that are led by people of color. —Various students, various colleges and universities
"One time a girl straight up asked me, 'What are you?' And I was extremely hurt and offended because that was probably the worst way to ask the question, but I calmly answered, 'I'm Puerto Rican and white.'" —Third-year student, University of Wisconsin–Stout
"My name in Chinese is simple. Two syllables. But more than once, the professors spell it outrageously wrong and posted it on our listserv. Or the professor has such a hard time memorizing how to pronounce my name. In some cases, it forces foreign students to adopt Anglo-Saxon names out of need—so they won't be named wrong, called wrong." —Second-year graduate student, University of California, Los Angeles
Expert perspective: Look for what you have in common
"It is perfectly natural to be curious about individuals whom we deem to be 'unlike' us," says Dr. Shedd. "The easiest way to make sense of something unfamiliar is to organize the information into categories that are familiar. However, even if you are curious about someone's racial/ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc., you are not entitled to ask or assume information about someone's personal identity."
Ask yourself why this information feels important. If your goal is to make a connection, think about alternative ways to do that.
"When people of color are asked (both by white people and other people of color) where we are really from, the underlying assumption is often that we don't actually belong," says Lydia Brown, a graduate student at Northeastern University of Law, Massachusetts, and visiting lecturer at Experimental College, Tufts University, Massachusetts. "Try asking where someone grew up, or what city they consider home, which might prompt much more interesting answers anyway."
How we can get to know each other
Ask rather than assume
"[I am asked] 'So are you Muslim?' when I tell them my nationality (Lebanese). I simply say 'no' and respond with the better question, [which] should have been, 'What's your religion?'" —Fourth-year student, University of Massachusetts Boston
Start with what you have in common
"You already have a shared connection simply by virtue of attending the same school. You can use that to connect by sharing information about your intellectual interests, favorite course, etc. Then you can invite that person to do the same." —Dr. Carla Shedd, assistant professor of sociology, Columbia University, New York
Try these icebreakers
"Some simple conversation starters focus on similarities; e.g., 'Would you mind if I sat with you? I don't know many people in this class, so I thought I would say hello.' Or, 'I have the same textbook as you. What is your degree?'" —Fourth-year student, Trent University, Ontario
Acknowledge your missteps
"Most people are happy to chat if you are respectful and enter with an open mind. If you make a mistake (an incorrect assumption or term), simply apologize and ask for clarification. Avoiding others because you are unknowledgeable will perpetuate the problems." —Fifth-year student, University of Victoria, British Columbia
What you think about racial discrimination?
Students want to support each other meaningfully
Here's how 1,750 college students responded to our recent survey:
- Many students expressed the wish that someone had spoken up for them in an uncomfortable situation.
- Many students wanted to be more supportive of their POC peers but weren't sure how.
- You overwhelmingly believe we should try harder to find common ground and support each other (95 percent).
- You support the principles of racial activism: For example, nearly 3 in 4 (72 percent) say slavery's impact continues to be a problem, 8 in 10 (79 percent) say racism is systemic, and 6 in 10 (61 percent) identify as racial activists or allies—even though you don't always agree with activists' ideas or tactics (84 percent).
- You feel it is inaccurate to categorize people as either "allies" or "bigots" (79 percent) and believe that people's views on race and racism can change (94 percent).
- You may be concerned that valuable discussion can get sidetracked into nonessential disputes: For example, while 7 out of 10 (71 percent) of respondents see cultural appropriation as a real problem, more than 6 in 10 (63 percent) said it is OK for a white person to wear a Pocahontas costume.

"We may think that we're doing right by everyone, but are we really? A series of tests designed by researchers can help us understand our subconscious biases. These tests associate positive and negative words with certain categories (e.g., race, appearance, and mental health). They use our response times to assess whether we really believe what we think we believe. Each test takes 5–7 minutes."
It is definitely an eye-opener and gets you really thinking about yourself. Anyone who wants to better understand their subconscious should give it a try.
The tests are easy and straightforward, and get intense in the later stages. The notion that "these guys are messing with my brain" keeps you at the end of your tether. You start hoping for a result that projects you in a positive light.
I tended to be overly careful with responses, which can affect the results—especially when associating words with faces, skin tones, or ethnicities. My results were a little off what I expected.

Giant Papasan cushion (polyester filling - 60", fits 55" papasan frame). All prices include shipping.
Go to Fabrics to place your order.
The 60" papasan cushion is available only the the Deluxe style of cushion (which has matching covered buttons, as detailed on this page). Prices vary depending on the fabric selected. We have two categories of fabrics, the Standard Range (being $149.00 to $169.00 including delivery per giant papasan cushion) and Premium Range, with our Premium range costing extra.
We have a great selection of fabrics. Should you wish to provide your own fabric or are seeking a specific fabric which we do not have displayed then view our alternative fabric options.
Things you should know about our Deluxe Papasan cushions
Giant papasan cushions feel really good when filled to at least 10 inches thick, which means that you wont feel the rattan papasan frame beneath the cushion. Because we place only 12 buttons in the giant papasan cushions allowing for the extra filling and and achieve at least 10 inches in thickness.
These cushions are oversized, ie. they measure 60 inches in diameter when fully stuffed and laid out flat. This size easily fits the 55 inch diameter giant papasan frame- Please be certain that you have this sized frame, as rattan papasan frames are not manufactured to as large as 55" these days. (55 inches is the diameter measurement of the dish frame directly across, without allowing for the curvature/depth of the dish). Our cushions are large enough to overlap the edge of the dish, making them even more comfortable and inviting.
There will be an additional seam across the face of your giant papasan cushion. Please note that this additional seam is barely noticeable, as the seam is placed along a row of buttons, where the cushion naturally creases once it is in the chair.
The filling inside your papasan cushion is compression resistent polyester. It is light weight, and an excellent product for papasan cushions.
Our papasan cushions are reversible ie. can be turned over, and if you also purchase the velcro tags (listed separately under our products page), then these tags can easily be taken off and placed on the other side - by looping over the buttons. They are very useful because they secure your papasan cushion to the frame.
Price includes cushion being fully stuffed and delivered to you with either UPS or FedEx, within continental USA. We e-mail you with tracking details once items are dispatched - within 15 working days of receiving your order.
Be sure to check out why our papasan cushions are so great and what our customers are saying about our products.

NEW ORLEANS -- A federal judge has ruled that Halliburton, the Houston-based company that supplied cement for the ill-fated Macondo well that blew in the Gulf of Mexico, may not have to pay many of the pollution claims that resulted from the catastrophic spill because it was shielded in a contract with well-owner BP.
Still, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier said Tuesday that Halliburton is not exempt from paying punitive damages and civil penalties that arise from the April 20, 2010, blowout off the Louisiana coast. Those penalties could amount to billions of dollars.
The judge also said Halliburton's indemnity could be voided if the company is found to have defrauded BP. He did not rule on BP's allegations that Halliburton committed fraud by declaring the cement safe to use.

Salvors ready Shell drill ship for tow attempt
ANCHORAGE, Alaska Spokesmen for Royal Dutch Shell PLC and the Coast Guard say naval architects have pronounced the oil company's drill ship sound and they're preparing for an attempt to pull it off rocks near a remote Alaska island.
Shell incident commander Sean Churchfield says the Kulluk will be moved "as soon as we are ready and able."
The Kulluk ran aground New Year's Eve after breaking loose from its main tow vessel.
Churchfield says a tow plan has been developed and a salvage team is on board the 266-foot diameter barge but timing will depend on weather, tides and readiness.
The Coast Guard reported wind at 23 mph just before noon Saturday and 2-foot waves. The tow plan calls for 30-mile tow to shelter in Kodiak Island's Kiliuda Bay.

As per RTA, all rental cars in the UAE are provided with comprehensive insurance (a.k.a. basic insurance). This means that by default, you are covered incase of an accidental damage provided it isn't your fault. A police report must be obtained at the time of an accident. Your rental amount includes basic coverage.
Most car rental companies provide CDW (collision damage waiver) for an additional charge. This covers you for any accidental damage by your own fault as well. However, a valid police report still is still required for coverage.
The car rental security deposit between AED 1000 - AED 10,000 is taken at the start of rental. It is released max 30 days after the car is returned. It may be returned to you by bank transfer, cash deposit into your bank account or cheque. Security block by credit card pre-authorization is better as it is automatically released by the bank on the same credit card within 30 days.
All rental cars come with standard mileage limit based on your rental period. However, some companies offer unlimited mileage as well. Custom mileage limit packages for an additional charge may be available.
To calculate your mileage, the car rental agreement mentions the km on the car's odometer at the start of your rental.
Fortunately, this particular car comes with unlimited mileage limit!
The legal age to rent a vehicle (car, van, pick-up truck, SUV or any other) in the UAE is 21 years old as per RTA regulations. However, this largely depends on the insurance policy issued to the car by the car rental company. The minimum age may be 23 years and even 25 years, in some cases.
