Police said in a Facebook post that boogeling is the act of going out at night and looking for unlocked cars or garages to enter and steal from. Police also said that they knew what boogeling was, they just didn't know it had a name.
Layton Police Sergeant Clint Brobowski told Fox 13 that the "boogelers" entered the homes through unlocked doors and even through unsecured doggy doors.

Enter the perfect winter pastel: Blorange, which is—you guessed it—blonde + orange. Created by the empress of crazy AF hair colors, Bleach London's Alex Brownsell, her test subject was none other than Georgia May Jagger who has become her dye-job guinea pig of sorts.
So-called 'gen real' (that's generation Z to the unacquainted) currently constitutes 35% of the world's population and will soon make up four in every 10 consumers in the world's largest markets.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What the H?! No, any manager who isn't a complete and utter glassbowl is not going to start feeling that FMLA is being abused if the employee who has properly requested it actually uses it.

1/20/17, when our classy POTUS & FLOTUS are replaced by SCROTUS and HOTUS. #nevertrump
From Dec 15 2016, "Supremely Corruptible Ruler of the United States"
I have been reminded of Roger Boisjoly recently as I see our current President-Elect crossing some ethical lines that others have not crossed in the past and I worry that we are taking baby steps in a very dangerous direction. I fear that instead of choosing the next President of the United States (POTUS), the electoral college is about to vote for a man who could become known as SCROTUS - Supremely Corruptible Ruler of the United States.
Sarah was open about what she viewed as the most dangerous aspect of the pro-anorexia subculture: "meanspo." You might've heard the term "thinspo" -- people posting pictures of incredibly skinny models, celebrities, etc., as inspiration to keep up with their weight loss. Meanspo is its even uglier cousin: Users can request to have someone basically shit-talk them into keeping their diet:
Forget the thigh gap; there's a new, pretty much impossible fitness standard sweeping the world (or, um, Instagram). It's the ab crack. Picture every swimsuit model you can, or Bella Hadid and Jasmine Tookes. Do they have a line going down their abs? That's an ab crack.
You can be asexual even if you've had sex. I know, it sounds strange, but having sex doesn't mean you can't be asexual. Some aces are curious. Some aces think it's what they're supposed to do. And some aces even like it.
It just so happens, NOHUMP, that plenty of asexuals (aka "aces"), identified as L, G, or B before realizing they were more of an A. Julia Sondra Decker, asexuality activist and author of The Invisible Orientation, gives some context:
pooner = someone who pays for sex — same as a john?
"pooning" = seeing sex workers/paying for sex
The timing is right to drop the name Washington. Washington, D.C. has plans to steal it. Plus, we couldn't very well be named after an American president if we become Canadians. What about the name that was almost ours, Columbia? British Columbia might have something to say about that name — as they might South British Columbia. We could become the province of Cascadia or Calicadia.
As a middlescent you are living through a time of growth and change—you may complain to one another that your body is morphing -it takes more time, energy and attention to cultivate your vitality. You know you aren't young anymore and you also aren't old in any way shape or form. Your relationships will certainly be shifting...sound anything like the life stage of your daughters—adolescence?
No surprise. The stage you are in, Middlescence, may be best understood as something akin to a second adolescence, but with wisdom. Between the ages of about 45-65, middlescence is marked by an increased ambition to find or create meaning in your life. Often accompanied by physical, social and economic changes, it is a turning point from which you continue to develop and grow—yes there is so much life to be had and learning to come!

Alternate spelling of "as hell" — or a new word meaning that same thing.
You may be wondering, what the heck is a "finsta"? No, it's not the latest new app. Finsta refers to a fake Instagram account. Just add "F" to "Instagram" for "Finstagram" and shorten that to "Finsta".
A finsta is a second Instagram account used for sharing with a smaller circle of followers. A finsta is usually a private Instagram account. While a teen's primary account might also be private, a finsta is for close friends only. Only your BFF's, your baes. (I can imagine my teen daughter cringing as she reads this – if she reads this!)
Appearing at the TCAs, Witherspoon got candid about Hollywood's so-called "Smurfette Syndrome," wherein she was frequently the sole woman in the room. "For 25 years, I've been the only woman on set, so I had no other women to talk to ... They call it 'Smurfette Syndrome.' Because she's got a hundred Smurfs around her and she's the only girl," she explained.
That's how I'd describe 2016's purest film heroes. This year, we cemented a new genre: the docbuster, which regales audiences with brave tales of real-life modern men. Docbusters first bleeped on the radar when Lone Survivor and American Sniper were shock hits. This year, we had four: Sully, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, Deepwater Horizon, and Patriots Day, two of which reteamed Lone Survivor star Mark Wahlberg with Lone Survivor director Peter Berg, and all of which took recent-ish headlines and simplified them, and their idealized saviors, into a satisfying adventure where the good guys win—or, at least, make it clear who's to blame. Docbusters are strangely soothing bedtime stories that whisper yes, the world is cruel and dangerous, but everything's going to be OK if a competent white man is in charge.

Honestly, though, the specifics of Flaked are less curious to me than the larger trend of which Flaked is a part. These shows—which the Transparent writers have dubbed "traumedies"—are, as Rosenberg says, what pass for prestige in the world of comedy these days. Why then are they so sporadically comedic? I do not mean these shows aren't sometimes funny, though they are more often "funny." But they are distinct from sitcoms in that their relationship to humor is at will. Sometimes they will try to be funny, and more often they will not. (This is why I have not lumped You're the Worst or Master of None in with this trend, though they abut it. Both of those shows contain jokes.)
That addiction lasted a long time too. When I worked on Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor album at Warner Bros. Records in 2005, I obsessed over her song "Hung Up," which I recognized contained a sample of ABBA's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" I risked mesothelioma in some dank basement in Brooklyn to find their single "The King Has Lost His Crown" because "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" was the B-side. Keep in mind I didn't own a turntable until five years after I started cratedigging because I wanted a "collection" first. I was constantly on the chase to acquire; lifting the needle to hear my discoveries was ancillary. That's my story, and every cratedigger has one.

Digging crates is an art. It demands practice, knowledge and commitment. You need patience and the eye of a hawk to spot the good stuff. Fear not, grasshopper, I'm here to guide you on your crate digging adventures so you can find all the treasures you desire for your record collection.
To aid with the anthropological project, The New York Times recently was kind enough to provide befuddled liberals with a reading list to explain the trumpenproletariat.

Many people have referred to a recently coined term "thanksliving" in both secular and sacred ways. With the Thanksgiving holiday recently passed, now would be a good time to examine our everyday lives to see if they reflect an attitude of gratefulness to our Creator. Second Timothy 3:2-5 recites a lengthy list of common sins that will characterize mankind in the end times. We find "ungrateful" (unthankful) in the list.
What you want is a way to eat leftovers that gives you all the flavor of Thanksgiving with a minimum of muss and fuss. Reader, I have the solution: the Thanksgiving leftovurrito.
Welcome to Dinovember
A month-long imagination invasion.
Every year, my wife and I devote the month of November to convincing our children that, while they sleep, their plastic dinosaur figures come to life.
The Smithsonian's brand-new, long-gestating National Museum of African American History and Culture opened two weekends ago to enormous lines, a swell of starry, prominent Americans and a poignant speech by the president. We both visited in the first weeks and were overwhelmed by the magnitude of the space itself and the story that the museum — the Blacksonian, if you will (and, boy, will we!) — tells about the founding and development of this country.
So I'd like to also propose the idea of an impending new epoch – the Trumpocene – that in the spirit of the era itself is based solely on a few thoughts held loosely together with hyperlinks and a general feeling of malaise.
In the Trumpocene, the epoch-defining impacts of climate change are nothing more than a conspiracy. Even if these impacts are real, then they're probably good for us.
Across the Western world, the traditional left is in crisis. In Germany, support for the Social Democratic Party, once a cornerstone of mainstream politics that led six postwar governments, has fallen below 20 percent. In France, François Hollande's approval ratings recently reached a mind-boggling low of 4 percent, while the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party has seen its support drop by almost half in less than a decade. The decline of Pasok, Greece's main social-democratic party, which fell from winning elections to ratings of under 5 percent in less than a decade, was so rapid that it spawned a new word, "Pasokification," for the collapse of traditional center-left parties. Even in Scandinavia, once-invincible parties of social democracy have been hit by increasingly disaffected voters, as right-wing populists stoke anxiety about immigration and its impact on the welfare state.
Acknowledging many voters were rebelling against a system they felt had failed them, Jones said there were ugly racial sentiments at work as well.
"This was a whitelash against a changing country," Jones said. "It was whitelash against a black president in part. And that's the part where the pain comes."
Paul's been posting freakomendations, which are "unusual recommendations" (that's a bit of an understatement given your examples, Paul!)
John Scalzi posted that Amazon's recommender suggested that he might like The Last Colony, a book he wrote!
This is not necessarily a freakomendation, because it seems pretty likely that John would read books that the people who read The Last Colony had read, and by that measure the Amazon recommender worked pretty well. But, as you can see from the comments for that postings, doing things like this calls the quality of all of the recommendations into question. This is probably unfair to Amazon's recommender, but that's what you're (which is to say "we're") up against when building recommender systems.
The "chef kiss" is the standard online reaction to any #content with such strong pleasing or horrifying characteristics that it is delicious. It could be a legitimately funny news headline, or it could be the absolute mess of bad politics, internet harassment, racism, and dead celebrities that is the year two-thousand-sixteen.
The list of demands ends with a lengthy denunciation of WWU's marginalization of "hxstorically oppressed students." The misspelling is intentional: "hxstory," I presume, was judged to be more PC than "history," which is gendered, triggering, and perhaps violent. It's easy for me to laugh at these clumsy attempts to make language obey the dictates of political correctness—but I laugh from a position of relative safety, since I am not a WWU professor.
An investigation by The Atlantic has revealed that this is an exceedingly normal behavior. A 2013 study by the American Psychological Association found that more than half of all workers surveyed checked their work messages, including texts, emails, and voicemails, from smartphones or other home devices. A 2014 survey by Gallup found that nearly 80 percent of respondents view the ability to continue working from home in a "strongly positive" or "somewhat positive" light. In fact, this tendency has become so widespread that, by 2014, researchers had coined a new word to describe the stress it causes: telepressure. Whether employees check their email from home is likely to vary depending on the nature of their job. Abedin's work—that of an elite political professional—is certainly the kind that typically necessitates lots of emailing, at any time, from anywhere.
South Dakota's general election next week marks a turning point in the state's history. The term "inpa" becomes a must-know expression in our political language.
Inpa is short for Independent/No Party Affiliation. South Dakota heads into the Nov. 8 election with record numbers of inpa and Republican registered voters.
While plastic surgeons and oncologists aggressively promote breast reconstruction as a way for women to "feel whole again," some doctors say they are beginning to see resistance to the surgery. Patients like Ms. Bowers are choosing to defy medical advice and social convention and remain breastless after breast cancer. They even have a name for the decision to skip reconstruction: They call it "going flat."
Entrepreneurship, a.k.a. quitting our perfectly stable traditional jobs with a steady paycheck and benefits to be our own boss, is rampant in the millennial generation. There's even a new word for us: millennipreneurs.
The chasm that opened first was intellectual: The neocon movement, which was, in essence, the brain trust of the latter Bush, "has broken off," Berkowitz said. The next fissure appears to be generational: The so-called reformicons—a priesthood of intellectual Gen X-ers who have been trying to recalibrate Reagan's vision for the conditions of the 21st century—are at the very heart of the agonized intraparty conflict. On one hand, they've often been seen as the potential ideological future of the party. On the other, a resoundingly loud majority of their electorate, the very people for whom they were tending the flame, have roundly rejected their vision.
I saw images of my daughter's face in gas chambers, with a smiling Trump in a Nazi uniform preparing to press a button and kill her. I saw her face photo-shopped into images of slaves. She was called a "niglet" and a "dindu." The alt-right unleashed on my wife, Nancy, claiming that she had slept with black men while I was deployed to Iraq, and that I loved to watch while she had sex with "black bucks." People sent her pornographic images of black men having sex with white women, with someone photoshopped to look like me, watching.

When the UK voted to leave the European Union, and the luminaries of the Leave campaign abandoned their responsibilities like rats from a tired metaphor, the people who voted Remain began to experience a curious emotion. An emotion which had until then been nameless.
The word that has been coined to describe this feeling is:
"The Dutch Reach is a practice where instead of using your near hand — usually the driver's left hand — to open your car door, you use your far hand. Your right hand," Charney told The World. "In doing that, you automatically swivel your body. And you position your head and shoulders so you are looking directly out. First, past the rearview mirror. And then, you are very easily able to look back and see if there are oncoming bicycles or cars or whatever."
But as studios attempted to rework the romantic comedy, a new genre emerged. Call it the Comedy of Unplanned Pregnancy. The Oops, I had a baby! movie. The momcom. Classic romcoms, and the screwball comedies that came before them, presented love as a battle of the sexes that was also a battle of wits. Men and women sparred verbally until they negotiated a kind of marriage contract they both could agree upon. The audience, meanwhile, got to participate vicariously in this public debate about how a relationship should be. In contemporary momcoms, though, love can only happen by chance. An independent career woman accidentally gets pregnant, which leads to the formation of a couple that would never have formed otherwise.
While it doesn't quite roll off the tongue the way "cronut" does, and isn't as photogenic as the rainbow bagel, the mufgel is the new hybrid pastry on the block. The mufgel is part bagel, part muffin and is the Franken-carb du jour at Williamsburg's The Bagel Store, the world's most viral bagel purveyor.
Well folks, there's a new sheriff in town, and its name is "chork." This Frankenstein's monster of hybrid cutlery features a fork on one end and chopsticks on the other. It's a perfect solution for the many Americans who start their meal with chopsticks, get frustrated halfway through, and ditch them for a fork.
So what's so good about a Sonoran dog? Mesquite-smoked bacon elevates a humble hot dog from ho hum to mouth watering. The smoky southwest flavor is nestled in a fresh bolillo roll that creates a soft little boat for the dog. Then you load that sucker up with all sorts of toppings to taste, as each hot dog cart has its own special flair. Or stick with the original when the hotdoguero asks, "Con todo?" Pinto beans, tomatoes, onions, and mayo. Why mess with perfection?
The vendor, referred to as the hotdoguero loads the hot dog onto a bun and passes it to the customer to garnish with a wide variety of sauces. Ketchup, mustard and mayo are standard, along with salsa verde and aji, an Ecuadorian hot sauce that's made with red chiles, onion, lime, cilantro and tamarillo (a slightly sweet, tangy fruit native to South America).
Not so for many young women. Some end up with what SA brands a "Splenda daddy" (a well-meaning man lacking the means to be a real daddy) or a "salt daddy" (a manipulative fuck, or worse), like the man my friend Laura met.

Within just a few hours after the term was coined, #Scampaign was trending on Twitter in Washington, DC.
Greg Algie, co-owner of the Fainting Goat, a popular Washington first-date destination, has witnessed more than one Tinderella arrive, get a glimpse of the person they're supposed to meet — and head right back out the door.
In the 1980s, researchers discovered a whale skull in West Greenland that looked suspiciously like a beluga-narwhal mashup. Since then, hunters have spotted the hybrid creatures in chilly Arctic waters. Apparently, beluga whales and narwhals produce offspring with big, burly heads — but, sadly, no tusks. (We drew one in anyway.)
While belwhal is a worthwhile contender, narluga is hard to beat. It captures the distinctive sounds of both animals' names — the nar- of narwhal and the -luga of beluga — and sounds pretty mellifluous to boot. Try it yourself: Narluuuuuuuuga!

Many names have cropped up over the years: pizzly-grizzly, polargrizz, and nanulak (a combination of the Inuit nanuk, polar bear, and aklak, grizzly bear). But recent headlines show pizzly vs. grolar is where the debate lies today. Though pizzly is pretty fun, Google Trends shows grolar is currently winning the popularity prize.

Climate change is one strange matchmaker. Warmer temperatures have led to shifting habitats and shifting mating habits. And occasionally, when two bears collide, the result is neither grizzly nor polar, but pizzly.

Or should I say grolar?
Mathwashing can be thought of using math terms (algorithm, model, etc.) to paper over a more subjective reality. For example, a lot of people believed Facebook was using an unbiased algorithm to determine its trending topics, even if Facebook had previously admitted that humans were involved in the process.
Boudewijn Chabot (de Einder) disclosed the name of the patient whose death 25 years ago brought him into conflict with the Dutch Supreme Court and opened the way for help for psychiatric patients. He is now using the term "dignicide" (which my spell checker is rejecting) as the word promoted by some to describe a self-selected rational and dignified death.
The simplistic option was to classify myself as a vegetarian. But this really wasn't accurate – or satisfying. It didn't truly capture my beliefs or actual stance. I did some thinking on it – for a good while. Finally, a word popped into my head. I tried the word in a search engine and, to my delight, I got results! It was a real word. A real thing.
It's a challenge for such habitual meat-eaters to drop their burgers cold in favor of broccoli, but the good news is that reducetarians don't have to. While the ideal is to eat as little meat as possible, even cutting back by a limited amount confers health and environmental benefits. In other words, reducetarians (Kateman and Alterman invented the word) attempt to reduce the overall amount of meat in their diets, but don't beat themselves up over the occasional T-bone steak or chicken salad sandwich.
Last year, the hosts of the podcast Call Your Girlfriend, Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow, debated whether white people can use darker skin tones when sending emoji, or if that amounts to cultural appropriation. At the time, the new racemoji had just launched on the iPhone.
We're all familiar with the Breathalyzer, the brand name for a roadside device that measures a suspected drunken driver's blood-alcohol level. It has been in use for decades. Now there's a so-called "textalyzer" device to help the authorities determine whether someone involved in a motor vehicle accident was unlawfully driving while distracted.
So, what's a poke cake?
True to its name, it's a cake that you poke holes in after baking. The holes are then filled with a liquid or filling — like condensed milk, pureed fruit, chocolate cream, or pudding — to infuse extra flavor into every bite. Here are 15 ways to make one.
Yes, at this point I found myself in an odd place, one that I never guessed I might visit: a fairly crowded Twitter canoe with a bunch of pissed-off Michael Rapaport fans. In situations like this, I've found the best way to de-escalate the situation is to act like a friendly tourist lost in an unfamiliar country. So, I asked them what "talking greasy" meant. The response: "Talking sh*t. It's Rapaspeak." The ice was broken.
Definition: A rumor that turns out to be, well, you know.
Sample usage: "I didn't believe the speculation that the Kardashians were bringing out a line of high-quality violin bow rosin, but it was a trumor!"
Though it looks more like a paperweight or a shiny marble than a sweet treat, a new Japanese dessert is going viral. Touted as the "Raindrop Cake," the confection is basically glorified Jell-O, but that's not stopping the social media masses from freaking out about it. The glass-like dessert has become so popular in Japan that some are saying it has reached Cronut status. And now it's coming to the U.S. by way of New York.
But if you're not Steven Levy, why are you recommending that ad? Did you not know it was sponsored content? Are you somehow benefiting from that recommendation financially? You are stretching the consumer/advertiser relationship by injecting that sponcon into your followers' reading list.
Anything associated as closely with racism and bigotry as the alternative right will inevitably attract real racists and bigots. Calmer members of the alternative right refer darkly to these people as the "1488ers," and for all their talk of there being "no enemies to the right," it's clear from the many conversations we've had with alt-righters that many would rather the 1488ers didn't exist.
The likes of Thomas and other antique collectors have even developed a new word to describe the old technology such as VHS tapes now becoming collectables - antech.
Thomas added: "We feel that these antech items – or antechs – will only become more valuable investments to collectors as time goes on.
"It might sound strange that something like the VHS is defined as an antech, but when they can command thousands of pounds on account of their rarity, that's exactly what they are."
We should stop using Muslims' self-chosen word — "Islamophobia" — by which they paint themselves into a corner of being feared: it destroys communication. Instead of such a divisive term, we should insert a more approachable and factual word that preserves opportunities for bridge-building and learning: "Islamonausea." This does not render communication impossible, but enables visitors to our Western cultures to notice aspects of their behavior that make us sick.

I'd like to introduce a new word into the American conversation—"Ameriphobe"
I would define "Ameriphobe" as a person who would act in the best interests of foreigners at the expense of his fellow Americans. Ameriphobes can be conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat.
It's hard to describe Dorilocos using words. The recipe starts with Nacho Cheese Doritos, which are then topped with a variety of ingredients: cueritos (pickled pork rinds), small batons of jicama, cubed cucumber, grated carrots, peanuts (most often described by the vendors as japonés, the ones with the crunchy, soy sauce-flavored shell), gummy bears, lime juice, chili powder, salsa Valentina or another hot sauce, and chamoy, an addictive sweet-salty-sour sauce made from pickled fruit. It's outrageous.

See also Chreaster, apparently a more common spelling.
Very recently I was introduced to a church-word I had never heard before. The new word, now part of my professional lexicon, is "Creasters." Like a celebrity mash-up, it is a morphing of two words: "Christmas," and "Easter."
This word refers to people who attend church on those two annual high holy days, but otherwise stay away. The word may be new, but the concept is not. The previous phrase of choice was "C-&-E Christians." Creasters (unlike their C-&-E predecessors) are young adults, primarily Gen Xers and younger. So, why is it that people are staying away from institutionalized religion except for twice annually? And, is there anything the traditional Church can do to entice them to return?
Much of this has to do with the fact that biracial identity in the United States has often been understood in terms of black and white. And to the extent that labels are helpful for quickly self-identifying, they don't always exist for the diversity of racial possibilities that mixed Americans increasingly want to see recognized. When it comes to mixed-race in America, Mexican-American author Richard Rodriguez has written, we rely on an "old vocabulary — black, white," but, "we are no longer a black-white nation."
This may be why in LA, many young people who are both black and Mexican are turning to a handy word to describe themselves: "Blaxican."
The young, diverse staff, heavy on neon-tinted hair and nose rings, cheers when Tony Hsieh, the company's longtime CEO, announces that everyone will get a paid vacation day on Feb. 29 in honor of leap year. They give a standing ovation to a worker in shipping who raps passionately about the company, offer a rousing send-off to a longtime "Zapponian" who's leaving the company, and take in a surprise Cirque du Soleil performance, complete with a cameo appearance by Zappos's signature box.
Shredlage is technically a trademarked product consisting of corn silage which has been cut at 26 to 30 mm with the stalks "shredded" by a shredlage processor. It's believed that by processing the stalk in such a way, rumen fermentation is enhanced, thus optimizing feed efficiency.
I just posted a new word on the Physician Moms Facebook group and was told that I should send it to you. I got tired of hearing "She's got balls," so I made up a new word, clitzpah (klit-spe) noun: a woman with guts!
Origin of clitzpah: clitoris (kli-te-res) noun: an organ of the female genitalia, the purpose of which is purely to bring women pleasure, and chutzpah (hu̇t-spe) noun: a Yiddish term for courage bordering on arrogance.
Allow us to expand your financial lexicon with a new word: "hopium." This is a drug favored by permabulls who ignore fundamental data in favor of illusory hope. Hopium seems to be fueling the rises lately in the energy sector and broader markets.

Consider the swanky Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah, rehab of choice for celebrities such as Demi Moore and Lindsay Lohan. For a reported $1,000 per day, patients heal through heli-hiking ("Alcohol and drug rehab takes on a different perspective at 10,000 feet!") and can take on the largest indoor ropes course "anywhere in the alcohol and drug rehab industry." As far as I can tell, there have been few randomized trials on the efficacy of heli-hiking for alcoholism. And if you're choosing an addiction treatment program based on the size of its ropes course, you probably haven't hit rock bottom.
In New Haven, pizza is "apizza" (ah-BEETS), cheese is "mootz" and "plain" means no mootz, just sauce.
Sterling was spotting Disneybounders, people who dress to evoke a particular Disney character without crossing the line into costume territory. The lady in the cool coat was channeling Peter Pan's nemesis Captain Hook. The girl in the turquoise jumpsuit was Princess Jasmine, the royal love interest in the film Aladdin.
Sterling, a 24-year-old southern California native, and her boyfriend Leo Camacho are popular bloggers in Disneybounding's enthusiastic online community. They were Disneybounding that day as Aladdin characters—Sterling was the titular hero, Camacho, the evil Jafar. They are like the Brangelina of a very specific world, one in which a dress that echoes Minnie Mouse is a better get than a designer handbag.
ME: Wait. Really? I have like 30.
BROOKE: OMG!! 30?? Only NARPs have less than 150.
ME: What the hell is a NARP?
BROOKE: Nonathletic Regular Person. NARP.
ME: Ah. So…I'm basic?
BROOKE: Yeah.
But further investigation showed that the video was nothing more than a beautiful piece of "innoganda" — innovation propaganda describing an effort that had little hope of driving any material impact.
The Sanders campaign's critics had plenty of material to work with beyond those blithely condescending columns. They could throw in a bunch of bottom-feeding social media sexists, like the poster in a pro-Sanders Facebook group who called Hillary "clitrash." The campaign also made its own gendered gaffes, including the smug statement that Bernie was "willing to consider" Hillary for veep. Finally, there's the tendency of online Sanders supporters to call Clinton fans corporate-shilling "Hillary bots" and to argue that journalists are "auditioning for jobs with the Clinton White House." Put it all together, and you have a perfectly reasonable (though not unimpeachable, and certainly not universal) argument that Bernie has a little bit of a Bro problem.
The subtle genius of HGTV's empire is its mastery of "endemic advertising": Building an alluring habitat for an advertiser's most-sought market, and letting that audience come to them. In other words, "House Hunters" succeeds not just in winning TV-watching homeowners — but also winning homeowner-targeting advertisers, like Home Depot, who know they're more likely to reach who they need.
Despite the empty rhetoric about hope and change that surrounded his 2008 campaign, after all, Obama continued the policies of his predecessor George W. Bush so unswervingly that we may as well call those policies—the conventional wisdom or, rather, the conventional folly of early 21st-century American politics—the Dubyobama consensus. Trump's candidacy, and in some ways that of his Democratic rival Bernard Sanders as well, marks the point at which the blowback from those policies has become a massive political fact. That this blowback isn't taking the form desired by many people on the leftward end of things is hardly surprising; it was never going to do so, because the things about the Dubyobama consensus that made blowback inevitable are not the things to which the left objects.
DD Creams
Okay, I didn't even know that these existed until now. I guess they stand for "Daily Defense". They're supposedly like a BB cream and CC cream all in one? But that doesn't even make sense, because a CC cream was just supposed to be like a heavier-coverage BB cream. Does that mean DD is somewhere in-bewteen? Sigh, marketing.
CC creams came after BB creams, as a lot of women like the idea of an all-in-one solution, but want higher coverage. Hence, CC = coverage, correct. The idea is the same as a BB cream, but they are a heavier formulation.
BB creams, like more and more of our makeup trends, started in Asia as "blemish balm". The idea was that they're like a lightweight foundation with skin-improving qualities (AKA, a tinted moisturizer). Asia is real, real big on skincare. Korea and Japan are known for their 10-step skincare routines (that is, all the face stuff that comes BEFORE even putting makeup on); this 10-step thing has been slightly debunked as most women there don't actually follow a 10-step routine, but there are a lot more "essential" skin care steps they have outside of our basic cleanse, tone, moisturize process. Since BB creams were so popular, a buncha US lines started marketing them as "beauty balm".
The milkshakes pictured above can be found at Black Tap, in Manhattan; a previous wave of try-hard Willy Wonka ass milkshakes made the rounds last summer, sold by an Australian bakery called Patissez. In September, on FABlife, Chrissy Teigen called the "monstershake" the "hot new trend in town."
Hatsune Miku, the holographic pop star and occasional video game protagonist, is embarking upon her first North American headlining tour.
Miku Expo 2016, as it has been dubbed, will begin with a show in Seattle on April 23 and take the vocaloid across both the West and East Coasts.
CBS reporter Lara Logan, photographed in Cairo's Tahrir Square moments before she was assaulted in 2011. Her attack was one of the first known instances of 'taharrush' to be reported in Western media.

While reading up on Kacy Hill, we stumbled across our favourite new word: "blubstep". Sure, it's one of those awful portmanteaus used by marketing types to shift records, but it perfectly describes Hill's bass heavy, James Blake-esque tunes. She's signed to Kanye West's label after serving as a backing dancer for his Yeezus tour, so no pressure.
But it's not trivial. Oligarchy, rule by the few, also tends to become rule by the monstrously self-centered. Narcisstocracy? Jerkigarchy? Anyway, it's an ugly spectacle, and it's probably going to get even uglier over the course of the year ahead.

Sex With Your Pants On (SWYPO) is a term used to describe the idea of recreating treats such as pancakes, brownies, or pizza with Whole30 ingredients, and is strongly cautioned against. The Hartwigs feel that if you're trying to recreate a pizza made out of cauliflower crust in order to scratch a craving itch, then you're kind of missing the point. To quote the Whole30 website, "You can tell yourself it's okay, it's still pretty good, you're totally satisfied … but that's kind of a lie. Because you know exactly how good pants-less sex feels."
Of course there are biologically sensible reasons for this, but unless you're careful this set-up can cement the assumption that childcare is the woman's responsibility, long after she goes back to work too. It was my experience of maternity leave that was a big factor in our decision to 'sharent'.
When Tom returned to work after paternity leave I was left tethered to the domestic realm, feeling panic-stricken that my life as I knew it was over. And that was when we started talking about how things could be more equal.
As more and more people started to yeet, the name for the dance move slowly worked its way into casual conversation, as a new way to express excitement over something. For example, let's say you and your friends are dancing and one lands a flawless back flip. ('Cause you know; that could totally happen.) That would be your cue to yell out "yeet!" and let them know just how awesome they are.
What it means: High-key refers to something needing to be said out loud. Low-key is the opposite. Both can refer to an intense like/dislike.
The "Vampire Facelift" is a procedure that involves withdrawing a patient's own blood, processing it to create "platelet-rich plasma (PRP)," then re-injecting it to erase wrinkles and create a more youthful look. Selphyl is another type of PRP facelift procedure that uses a similar technique.
Feds at my door, jump out the window, nigga

But while customers can't get enough of the company's bearded, Brooklyn hipster founders, and their brilliantly marketed, $10 "bean to bar" chocolates, a term reserved for chocolate that has been produced entirely under the maker's control, from the cocoa bean to the wrapped bar, chocolate experts have shunned them. Earlier this year, Slate published a story on Rick and Michael Mast, detailing complaints by the craft chocolate community about their undeserved media attention and unparalleled hubris. ("I can affirm that we make the best chocolate in the world," Rick told Vanity Fair in February.)
Your annual reminder of the hidden costs of taking venture capital is here — it's the First Round Capital Holiday Video, a yearly cringe-fest of startups parodying the year's biggest pop hits, with lyrics tweaked to reflect the worst of startup culture. (Full lyrics at the end of the post.)
That's something that's happening a lot these days. Though there are still occasional reboots or prequels, this very specific kind of sequel — in which beloved aging stars reprise classic roles and pass the torch to younger successors — is becoming increasingly common in the American film industry. These movies are all about revitalizing old franchises through the notion of legacy, leading to this current wave of what we could call "legacyquels."
For simplicity's sake, let's call these novelty shirts "D-shirts"—a retroactive shorthand for "dick shirts" or "douchebag shirts," whichever you prefer. While it's shooting fish in a barrel to mock the simpler times when D-ness was clearly telegraphed via branding, I believe that it's preferable to the current dilemma of actual douchebags trying to camouflage as nondouchebags. Thanks to irony (and e-commerce!), these days it's way harder to spot a douchebag.
The outcry from the neighbors over Cubberley was so fierce that it reshaped Palo Alto's city government. The city council is nonpartisan, but a faction emerged that revived an old, slow-growth movement in town, known as the "residentialists." Their concerns are varied (among them, the perennial suburban concerns of property values and traffic), but their influence has been to block any new development of affordable housing and shoo people like Suzan and James away from Palo Alto.
Still other YouTubers make money by relying on "rage clicks"—saying something inflammatory for the purposes of press and views. Take "Dear Fat People," a fat-shaming tirade by YouTuber Nicole Arbour. "Dear Fat People" made so much money that Arbour posted a Snapchat counting 50 dollar bills…but she also lost some of her branded deals and got blacklisted by the tight-knit YouTube community.
I think it would make for an encouraging change, for a few reasons. Firstly, I'm an up-winger, so of course I'm in favor of this ideological revolution. Second, it wouldn't really be a revolution, but more a reversion to the mean: the up-down distinction has historically been more practically relevant than the left-right distinction. Third, an up-down distinction would redound to the benefit of upwingers. Downwingers are present on both the left and the right, but are more sound than fury—refocusing the debate toward upwinger varieties on the right and the left would further marginalize the opponents of progress.

I'd been a part-time delivery driver — a "Dasher" — for three weeks by that point, driving around San Francisco on a scooter, delivering everything from burgers to pad thai to frozen yogurt.
Hillary Clinton got side-eyed after blasting Jennifer Lopez's "Let's Get Loud" at a campaign stop in San Antonio where she called herself "La Hillary" and "Tu Hillary." Jeb Bush earned eye rolls after debuting a Spanish-language ad celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
Both were accused of "Hispandering": a mashup of "Hispanic" and "pandering" that means faking interest in Hispanic issues and culture for self-serving reasons.
The body is gone. What remains is what Berg calls hair soup: when the brains and other leftover material come together to form a single substance. This is a particularly gruesome specimen.
In Minnesota, about 40,000 people die every year. Many are not discovered for weeks or months after their death. In the biohazard cleanup business, these are called "decomps," and they're the most laborious jobs. "The best way to describe a decomp clean is peeling layers off an onion," says Berg. "You just gotta keep pulling back those layers until you don't find anymore body material."
"I was struck by the words SOTEMPTED used to describe sex work: ugly, messy, humiliating," said Mike Crawford, a sex worker, sex-workers-rights activist, and self-identified "cashsexual" who tweets at @BringMeTheAx.
While these new models are not the standard size 0 or 2 that we often see gracing the catwalk, they are not going to let the size of their clothing define them. Instead, they're trying to change the way the fashion industry (and the rest of the world) sees them, with the term "curve" — which describes the shape of their body, not just their waistline.
The movement recently came into the spotlight after 18-year-old model Jordyn Woods, a newcomer to the modeling scene, was featured in an interview on TeenVogue.com in which she referred to herself as a "curve model" rather than the more common industry term, "plus-size."
It found that 71% of 18-24-year-olds have made a rape joke or flippantly used the word rape, and 88% of respondents in this age group were familiar with the term "frape", or Facebook rape, which is usually used to describe the act of logging into somebody else's Facebook account and posting using their profile.
Fan favorite nerdlebrity Norman Reedus has become an icon as the zombie-stompin' Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead. But despite his amazing survival skills, he was not able to repel a real bite attack by one of his greatest fans.
Antifa groups are using the hashtag #defendSeattle as part of their strategy.
"I remember getting ready for my first gang bang, and I was talking to people – what should I know, I've never done this before, I was really nervous, do you have any tips? And two people were like: put James Deen on your 'no' list" – the performers she would not do scenes with.
Boulder Weekly, a Boulder, Colorado alternative weekly newspaper, has published a 10,000 word "frackademia" investigation in a special edition of the newspaper.
Following suit is Devember, the non-profit Code.org's attempt to out-portmanteau The Movember Foundation. "We think everybody should learn to code," the organization declares, comparing its cause to the fight against illiteracy.
As soon as these girls launched Deen to mainstream recognition, however, they were recast into minor supporting roles in Deen's narrative. In magazine stories and television specials (and in one case, a porn parody of a television special starring Deen himself called Channel 69: Breaking Nudes), they were recast either as hypersexual groupies or innocent victims trapped under his torrid pornographic spell. Nightline drummed up a Deenager exposé in early 2012 that began: "For any parent concerned about what their teen does online, the huge popularity of the young man you are about to meet may be deeply disturbing."
We've been in this show hole for about a year and a half. The last show we binged was True Blood and it wasn't even relevant at that point in time. We're not sure what we're looking for either. We started The 100 but didn't make it to season two.
There is another group, meanwhile, that will rebel. They will eschew the planes, the trains, and the automobiles that make up Turkey Day's hors d'oeuvres. They will opt, instead, for "Skypesgiving." The Kernel reports that 14.1 million people used Skype to connect with loved ones on Thanksgiving in 2013, and that number has probably only increased since.
"I learned a new word today," he said. "Micropolitan. Geographically, there's Metropolitan, Micropolitan, and Rest of the State. Metropolitan receives the largest reimbursement, then there's Micropolitan, receiving less than Metropolitan, and finally Rest of the State, receiving the lowest in child care subsidies.
Shortened "wait a minute".
Here is a delicious idea for a Thanksgiving PIECAKEN! A pumpkin Pie in a Milk Chocolate Fudge Cake topped with a pumpkin-spiced milk chocolate ganache and buttercream - delicious!
If you've never heard of Revolve, you probably don't travel in the right circles. You aren't a trendy twentysomething who can pull off a skintight white suit with no shirt underneath. There's no copy of Gypset Style, the handbook for self-styled bon vivants and "high-low cultural nomads," on your coffee table—one piece of the perfectly decorated apartment in which you barely spend time. ("Gypset" is a portmanteau of "gypsy" and "jet set.")
But rejoice, Proud Fitness Enthusiasts. It took a minute, but the fires of Hell have at long last forged a new trend in public humiliation-as-exercise, and it is called crunning. "But I already cry when I run!" you say. "How is this new?" No, it's worse that that. The "cr" is for "crawling." You're crawl-running. You're crunning.
When 12s take selfies, they become Twelfies. Use #Twelfie with every selfie you take when representing the Seahawks.
In fact, as I just learned tonight on Twitter, in one of its own publications following that attack, ISIS wrote of driving to "extinction" the "grayzone" between Islamic extremism and "the crusader coalition." Again, it's all about using terrorism to "sharpen the contradictions" and polarize the world.
Mr. West's angst could also fall under the category of the "complaintbrag," a cousin of the humblebrag and "first-world problems," a term that has drawn its own share of first-world complaints for its patronizing stance toward non-first-world inhabitants.
It was once considered unbecoming, or annoying itself, to moan publicly about trifling personal ordeals. Now, in a seismic shift for the moral culture, abetted by technology, we tolerate and even encourage the "microcomplaint": the petty, petulant kvetch about the quotidian.
Finland's emoji, then, are not real emoji. They are something far more nefarious: Efauxji. They are mere images masquerading as glyphs, pretenders to the emoji throne.
Yet others find that the term accurately describes a real phenomenon. Avery Keese, 23, who works at a nonprofit in Virginia, had never heard of cuffing season, but when one of her co-workers brought it up, she recognized the concept immediately. In college, she and her friends often joked about how girls seemed to get "wifeyed up" midway through the fall semester. And as one of her friends pointed out one day, Ms. Keese wasn't immune to this trend.
Camille Sanches, a Columbia University sophomore, was eating lunch with friends when another girl stopped by with some news: A guy had asked her out on a date.
"You can't cuff without me!" one of her friends exclaimed. "We have to cuff together!"
When a Jewish-American family descended from Texas shop owners emigrated to Beer Sheva, Israel, it is no wonder that a new word emerged in their English-Hebrew-Yiddish lexicon. "Schlopping" – an amalgamation of schlep, love and shopping – became a hallmark of the mother-daughter relationship of Sheryl Mendlinger of Boston and Yael Magen of Swampscott, and serves as the foundation of a book the pair co-authored.
It could be. But the market's maturity is getting tested on Monday, and in the next few weeks, the ramifications of that likely hike are going to play out across the capital markets. The Dow is down more than 200 points, and the S&P 500 is off 25 points at 2074. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note rose as high as 2.37%, and most markets in Europe and Asia were in the red. The market may yet handle what the folks at Merrill are calling "Fedexodus," but that isn't apparent right now.
The thing about retaliation, as everyone knows, is that you should get it in first. And now there's a word for that: the eminently logical "pretaliation". The MP Paul Flynn has been having fun on Twitter by describing Seb Coe's attempts to defend himself in advance against the report on doping in athletics as "(new word) PRETALIATION".
In 1968, Mars discontinued its "junior" size candy product and came out with a larger size of small, individually wrapped, multiple packed branded candy bars. These bars were intermediate in size between the old "junior" bars and the traditional size bars sold over the counter by Mars. It adopted the words fun size to describe this new category.
Koselig is a Norwegian word that roughly translates to "a sense of coziness." It's the idea that winter is a time for big fuzzy blankets, warm sweaters, snuggling, and tasty, hot beverages. Basically if a Pinterest board came to life, it would be the embodiment of koselig.
U.K. media and government officials are sounding the alarm over something called "chemsex," which involves—are you ready for this newfangled idea?—taking mind-altering substances and then having sex. Oblivious that they're describing something that has happened for literally all of time, British officials warn that "taking recreational drugs during sex can lead to a number of potentially harmful side effects including facilitating the spread of common STIs and HIV, but also serious mental health problems, such as anxiety, psychoses and suicidal tendencies."
"There's a new word in the English lexicon, Uberisation, which basically means disrupting the market—and there is potential for the insurance industry to be disrupted by an 'Uber'," he said.
"Brett," he says, "really embodies that principle of being an ultrapreneur — someone wanting to leave his mark on our community beyond his business interests, by supporting the philanthropic needs, not only of Calgary, but our country."
Liberal Seattle, long perceived as a veritable utopia of government-funded freebies, like shelter and meal programs, is sometimes mocked as "Freeattle."
The Commission termed these ecofiscal policies -- a new word to facilitate a new conversation about solutions guided by both economic and environmental objectives. The Commission is funded by several Canadian family foundations and Canadian corporations.
Reality: The president and co-founder of the nonprofit think tank known as CFAR ("see-far") is a woman, 32-year-old Julia Galef. I meet her at the group's headquarters in hippie-ish Berkeley, Calif. She has a glint of Anne Hathaway looks about her and is nerdy, sure, but also warm, chatty. As Galef would say, I have erred, falling prey to what she calls the Straw Vulcan, the fallacy that rational people are unemotional people. In her words, it's time to update.
"I said, 'North! To Canada!' But of course it took me five years to get across the border," says Beck. Thus launched an odyssey that lasted seven years and four progressively elaborate homes on wheels. Or, if you prefer, housetrucks.
Presto claims its customers have embraced mobile streaming on the way to and from work, giving birth to the heinous term 'commutertainment'.
Demonia (1980) In 1498, five nuns are brutally murdered and crucified by a mob of angry Sicilian villagers. 500 years later, along comes Paul Evans, the world's most arrogant archeology professor and his superstitious pupil Liza. They're here to look for Greek relics, but obviously Liza just can't help but enter the long-sealed medieval convent nearby to unleash the nuns' demonic spirits and a string of disgusting deaths. But is Liza the real killer? Or Paul? In this gory Italian nunsploitation flick, nothing is clear, but the deaths inflicted by everything from killer-cats to tortuous-trees are so gross you'll be rolling on the floor like a pair of possessed eyeballs.
Sweden, you must stop! You've already given us so much: Abba; Ulrika Jonsson; a pocket of sociosexual egalitarianism in a modern, western world whose otherwise total commitment to untrammelled capitalism would surely destroy us all; Ikea meatballs. And now a word for female masturbation: klittra.
Researchers are testing a pepperoni alternative called osmoroni, which uses the same raw-meat material but presses it into a film that's run through an osmotic dehydration bath, according to a meat-processing information poster provided by Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center's Combat Feeding Directorate.
Early, alternate name for the interrobang.
At a glance, his portmanteau of architecture and the Kamasutra, the ancient Hindu book of sex, looks just like a series of black-and-white buildings, but the longer you look, the dirtier your mind—and the images—get. "It 's always fun to play with the architectural forms and volumes," Babina tells The Creators Project. "Interweave geometries as a sculptural body shaking in a voluptuous architectural embrace." One illustration introduces us to our favorite new word, "orgytecture," which is the only way we'll be able to think about the New York City skyline from now on.
Race is always an easy go-to minority designation for me. As a pretty unique mix—half-Pakistani, half-Filipino—I'm under no illusion that I'll find other Pakipinos (that's right) wherever I am unless my brother's around. That said, of the seventy-some people in attendance, it was glaringly obvious that there were only a handful of us with slightly more pigment in our skin than others.
In a welcome-to-Oakland letter to Uber executives, Schaaf defined tech-quity as providing "equitable access to top-notch training and jobs for our residents and fostering our local technology sector's growth so it leads to shared prosperity."
Prior to the relatively recent cocktail renaissance, the closest beer and booze came to one another was in the classic working-stiff's combination of a beer and a shot. Now, however, the pressure to innovate has become so intense that what were once considered exotic additions to cocktails are barely worth a shrug. We are no longer moved by rare amari, syrah syrups, and sipping vinegars. So it's no surprise that beer has been elevated from a mere sidekick to a novel cocktail ingredient, giving us the beertail. (There's even an entire book dedicated to them—Cocktails on Tap by Portland cocktail dude Jacob Grier.)
In Eric Weiner's book, The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World, he points out that our society has many more words to describe "unpleasant emotional states than pleasant ones." He coined the term "conjoyment" to describe Swiss happiness, which is "more than contentment but less than full on joy." Think of it as a solid state of happiness where there are no peaks, like the majestic Matterhorn, or valleys, like Centovalli.
As a former teacher and therapist, Anderson developed "Murture" – a new word that combines maturity and nurture – a system of merging with God's unconditional love enabling reconnection to God's Truth planted in the core of your being (revealing true identity).
School refusal in children and teenagers happens quite often. According to research, up to 5 percent of children have school refusal, which can occur at any age, but is more common at ages 5, 6, 10 and 11. School refusal is not a formal psychiatric diagnosis, but often associated with mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, which prompts these children to be seen by a psychiatrist.
You can find out today whether exacly.me is exactly for you by going to the iTunes store and downloading the app for free. Even if you are the first in your circle of friends to have exacly.me, you can begin posting photopinions (exacly.me's new word that combines photo and opinion) and immediately find other like-minded users.
So, the big question here is definitely focusing on what the hell Max Greenfield's character, Gabriel is doing still alive. Last we saw him he had been drildoed (new word) by the Addiction Demon and was then promptly sewed into a mattress by Sally, because that's where you put your valuables and dead junkies, I guess?
The realisation is at last taking hold that not just integration, but something more functionally rich that combines integration with flexible collaboration – 'collagration' if you will permit – is now starting to come through as the goal.
And if you have a hard time with any of this, you are a transphobe. You might even be a dragaphobe. (OK. It's a new word that I coined for this column, but you get the point. That being said, I spotted an article written by a gay dad who confessed to having an irrational fear of drag queens!)
I love your at name @LodiiLodiiiii lmaooo i just noticed that lmao
Radtrad (or sometimes, Rad-Trad, Rad Trad, etc.) is shorthand for "radical traditionalist". For background (at least from my own perspective) on the definitions of both "traditionalist" and my newly-coined term, radical Catholic reactionary (which I started using instead of radtrad on 3 August 2013), see the Introduction and Chapter One, respectively, of my 2012 book, Mass Movements.
But there is that word. Asexual. There is the fact that you've never felt this way before. So you will go back to that word. You will look it up again and this time you will explore what it means, all its subsets and associated words. In your search you will come across a new word: demisexual.
Someone who can only experience sexual attraction after an emotional bond has been formed. This bond does not have to be romantic in nature.
Every Friday, Larry Michael — a Redskins senior vice president and the host of Redskins Nation — picks Washington's upcoming game. Every week, he hands out check marks denoting an advantage in offense, defense, special teams and intangibles. And every week, he picks Washington to win, while giving the Redskins the edge in intangibles.
Whether it started this way or not, the segment is now delivered with a bit of a wink, if I'm being honest. That wink became something grander in recent days, when the intangibles category was renamed "Skintangibles," immediately becoming my choice for favorite new word of the year. And yes, Washington still has the edge.
A "unicorpse" is a dead unicorn -- a startup that gains a valuation of more than $1 billion, then declines and fails before going public. This hasn't happened yet, but some say that Evernote might become the first "unicorpse."
A "quinquagintacorn" is a startup worth $50 billion or more. The only startup to achieve quinquagintacorn status is Uber, which completed a funding round in July that valued the company at around $51 billion -- which is why such a startup is also called an "ubercorn."
Using Twitter instead of doing whatever you're supposed to be doing is "procrastatweeting." It's good form to use it as a hashtag: #ProcrastaTweeting.
The new word inculator is, of course, a portmanteau of incubator and accelerator. An inculator is an accelerator that takes more time to develop ideas and build a business. They're accelerators such as Nine Plus, whose services aren't nearly as accelerated as they might because they feel entrepreneurs need more mentoring time -- typically about nine months.
With the rise (literally) of quadcopters -- a.k.a. drones -- I guess it was inevitable that some genius would realize that flying a drone around with a sign on it would be a great idea. And so "dronevertising" was born.
You've heard the overused neologism unicorn, which describes a startup with a valuation above $1 billion. The idea was that such highly valued startups were so rare that seeing one was as rare as a unicorn sighting. Now there are herds of unicorns roaming Silicon Valley. At last count, there were 131 in the tech industry. In fact, startups have become so valuable that there are now some that are worth more than $10 billion. These are called "decicorns."
He struggled for a moment to find the right word to capture his stop in New York. According to the Associated Press, he just ended up inventing a new one: stralimitata. "In New York, a bit 'beyond all limits.'" The New York Times translated his quote as, "New York was a bit exuberant."
The new Oxford dictionary defines the verb to macgyver as to "Make or repair (an object) in an improvised or inventive way, making use of whatever items are at hand."
In the global development world, they give it a more respectable name: frugal innovation.
HOUSTON — Southwest Airlines today unveiled a new advertising campaign called "transfarency" that focuses on its low fares and transparency in fees.
McKenna and Gettler use the term breastsleeping to refer to bedsharing with breastfeeding in the absence of all known hazardous factors. The researchers hope to legitimize it to accommodate and support the millions of American breastfeeding mothers who bedshare as they better manage their milk supply, get more sleep, strengthen their attachments and validate their roles as mothers, especially if working.
A few weeks ago, you learned the term "pphubbing," which describes what you do when you snub your partner in favor of intimate time with your phone. But while the term is new, the idea that technology can insert itself into your sex life like an IRL pop-up ad is probably not unfamiliar to you. Because if it were uncommon, then licensed marriage and family therapist Ian Kerner, PhD wouldn't be so damn successful.

Should you reapply for a job if you were rejected the first time around and you see that the position is still posted or has been relisted? It depends but in general the worst that can happen is that you get rejected again. Best case scenario, you may have a better chance of getting accepted the second time around.

When to Reapply After Being Rejected

Applicants often wonder if it is advisable to reapply for a job which they have already applied for in the past. The short answer is that if you find the position to be very attractive, there is usually nothing to lose other than your time. Your chances of receiving serious consideration the second time around will be greater if considerable time has passed and/or if you have enhanced your credentials in some way.

Many employers don't bother sending rejection letters, so you may not even know that you were rejected. The applicant pool may have changed since you first applied and you may have a better chance of getting selected this time.

If you made the interview stage previously and were a finalist or received positive feedback then you may be a strong enough candidate to receive an offer this time since there might be a less competitive pool.

Another reason to consider reapplying if time has passed is that the staff responsible for screening resumes may have changed and the new screener(s) may have a different take on the viability of your credentials.

Typically it doesn't make sense to reapply until at least four months have passed since your initial application.

What to Write in Your Cover Letter

Typically, you would refer to your prior application in your cover letter if you have previously interviewed for the position. You can mention why you were convinced that the employer and the job were an excellent fit as a result of that exposure and that you would appreciate the employer's consideration for the position.

If you didn't receive a rejection letter or weren't interviewed and considerable time has passed, you don't need to reference your previous application in your letter.

Target Your Resume and Letters

Most large, and many smaller, employers use talent management systems to screen applicants. Take the time to target your resume and your cover letter, including keywords that match the job posting, so you will have a better chance of getting your application considered for the job.

Be sure to highlight in your cover letter any additional experiences, awards, accomplishments or training which you have amassed since your last application.

Fans of the Artemis Fowl series will immediately notice something is different with Artemis in this seventh installment in the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, The Atlantis Complex. First off, he obsesses about his lucky number five, even going so far as to count words in his sentences to make sure they conform. He is deathly afraid of the number 4, generally out of touch with reality, and paranoid to the extreme, even doubting Butler's unceasing loyalty.
It turns out that Artemis is suffering from the Atlantis complex, a degenerative mental disease brought on by guilt caused by his criminal activities and dabbling in fairy magic. The disease even spurs his gallant alter-ego named Orion, determined to woo Holly Short, tough-as-nails LEPrecon officer, with flowery accolades. Artemis, as always, has a plan that sets the plot in motion – but his plan this time is not to make money, but to save the world from global warming. However, there are nefarious forces working against him and things immediately go wrong when a deep-space probe piloted by enemy forces crashes Artemis's meeting of the minds with Holly Short, Foaly, and Commander Vinyaya.
What, another dystopian YA novel? Yes, but Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi is so fresh and involving that even the most jaded reader is sure to enjoy it.
Slow cookers make everyday and special event cooking so much easier that they justify their place among your kitchen gadgets. Plus, slow cookers come in a variety of sizes, from one quart to six quarts. Get the size that suits most of your needs or go ahead and get both. Two slow cookers can produce a memorable meal for a party. For example, a smaller one is perfect for seafood dip or fondue while a larger one supplies barbeque beef for sandwiches or coq au vin. Whichever model(s) you choose, it's good to have the slow-cooker option for less stress and more flavorful food.

Carpe Demon by Julie Kenner (Book one of the Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom Adventure series)
Lots of women put their careers aside once the kids come along. Kate Connor, for instance, hasn't hunted a demon in ages. That must be why she missed the one wandering through the pet food aisle of the San Diablo Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, he managed to catch her attention an hour later-when he crashed into the Connor house, intent on killing her. Now Kate has to clean up the mess in her kitchen, dispose of a dead demon, and pull together a dinner party that will get her husband elected to County Attorney-all without arousing her family's suspicion. Worse yet, it seems the dead demon didn't come alone... It's time for Kate Connor to go back to work.
Film noir is not easily defined. The actual words come from French and mean "black cinema." It was in France during the post-war years that the term was used to describe a certain set of Hollywood films that were saturated with a darkness and cynicism that was not seen before. These movies included The Maltese Falcon (1941), Double Indemnity (1944), Laura (1944), and Murder, My Sweet (1944).
It's no fair, Isabel complains, that the porcupines don't get to have balloons at their class's Graduation Day, as the raccoons, possums and other animals do. But balloons are not safe around the porcupines' prickly quills, Isabel's porcupine teacher gently explains. The porcupines will get bookmarks instead.
Isabel and her friend Walter are not happy. "I heard that after a few days a balloon floats halfway between the ceiling and the floor…it just hangs there like a ghost," Walter says longingly. So Isabel makes a plan to do something about it in Deborah Underwood's new picture book, "A Balloon for Isabel."
As The Strange Case of Origami Yoda begins, Tommy has two questions and two questions only. Those questions? Is Origami Yoda for real? Not real as in he exists, but for real as in can this seemingly wise finger puppet predict the future? And secondly, is the advice Yoda has given Tommy (despite Origami Yoda being voiced by Dwight, the strangest kid in school) good advice or will it result in school wide humiliation? With these two questions in mind, Tommy begins a case study of the Origami Yoda - how he got his start, the kid behind it, and all the situations in which Yoda has been used for aid at McQuarrie Middle School.
The book has cool illustrations and little details throughout – think Diary of a Wimpy Kid format – and they really capture the personalities of the characters in the book. There are more than a few funny Star Wars references that fans will delight in as well. The writing and story really drew me in because the reader is able to ponder each situation and draw his or her own conclusion on the wisdom being dispatched by Origami Yoda. The author, Tom Angleberger, has captured the unique personalities and challenges faced by the middle-school crowd in a realistic and humorous way.
"…I know what happened that horrible night the Romanovs were murdered."
Everyone knows times are tough. Budget cuts and belt-tightening are commonplace.
The library has felt the pinch too, but we know we'll carry on and continue to offer the best possible service to our patrons.
Humor often helps us through the hard times, so we'd like to share this video, inspired by the 1978 disco hit "I Will Survive," made by and featuring CRRL staff.
You can also check out this longer version, which begins with a send-up of a typically hectic day in the life of a professional librarian.
Duncan and Samantha, our newest library babies, are just a few months old, but they're not too young for books. Board books, made of heavy cardboard with just a few words on each page, fit babies' interests and attention spans perfectly. They are just the right size for lap sharing, and their sturdy construction means you can safely prop them up next to a baby who's too little to hold them but big enough to pick up her head and enjoy the pictures.
My favorite board book to give to babies is Tana Hoban's "Black & White." First published as two separate board books, "Black on White" and "White on Black," the new edition includes both books in an unfolding accordion-style format, just right for standing up in the crib of a curious infant.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"
