The Highlands Biological Station is proud to offer membership to academic institutions. Students of member institutions receive a 15% tuition discount for summer courses, and researchers and faculty receive discounted rates for classroom use and bench space. In addition, our Board of Scientific Advisors, whom we consult for important decisions that include administering funds to applications for grants-in-aid, is drawn from our member institutions. If you would like to learn more about our Institutional Membership program, please call (828) 526.2602.
Click here to see a list of the members of the current Board of Scientific Advisors (as of January 16, 2015).
Download the information brochure (PDF)
Now in its 90th year, the Highlands Biological Station (HBS) has a long tradition of supporting field-based research and education in a full spectrum of organismal, ecological and evolutionary disciplines. Operating as a research non-profit supported by a consortium of regional universities for its first 50 years, since 1976 HBS has been a University of North Carolina institution, ably administered by Western Carolina University. In keeping with its roots, the institutional consortium remains an active and vital part of HBS today in the form of the HBS Member Institution Program.
What kinds of institutions become members of the HBS consortium?
Our member institutions are highly diverse, including public and private schools, research universities and liberal arts colleges, schools with baccalaureate programs only, and those with graduate programs.
What are the benefits of membership?
1. Tuition discount on HBS summer courses and workshops.
Students and alumni from HBS member institutions receive a 20% discount on tuition for our summer courses and workshops; at current rates, this is a reduction of $160 for 2-week courses and $80 for 1-week short courses and workshops. Our immersive courses are field-oriented, taught by expert faculty intimately familiar with regional systems and organisms. Students obtain quality hands-on field experience and in-depth introduction to regional organisms, communities, and ecosystems by studying in our "natural classroom and laboratory." HBS courses and workshops are fully accredited through UNC-Chapel Hill (BIOL 459) and Western Carolina University (BIOL 493 / 593); credits are typically transferrable to students' home institutions.
2. Discounts and priority for researchers and faculty with visiting classes.
Faculty and graduate student researchers from HBS member institutions are given a 15% discount on fees and priority in reserving bench space and equipment for their research based at HBS. Faculty from member institutions wishing to bring a class to HBS for a field trip are given a 20% discount plus priority in reserving classrooms, labs, or equipment for their classes. HBS offers first-rate teaching and research space, including a state-of-the-art teaching wet lab, GIS lab, seminar room, and general-use classrooms (all with sinks and prep areas for flexible use for lecture or lab activities). Teaching is further supported by digital projectors, high-quality dissecting and compound microscopes, and video-microscope demonstration systems. Four individual research laboratories are available, as is a general purpose lab with walk-in environmental chambers, an aquatics lab with a dozen tanks and chillers, and a molecular lab with a full range of molecular-genetics equipment for DNA isolation, purification, and amplification.
3. Advanced notice of program schedules.
Students from member institutions are given advanced notice of the summer program of courses and the paid internships that HBS offers each summer, including two Botanical Garden internships and two Nature Center internships.
4. Acknowledgement on our website and use of our logo.
We acknowledge members of the HBS consortium on our website, and provide member institutions with a high-resolution image of the HBS logo. Members are encouraged to use the logo on their website or print materials to highlight their HBS membership among the opportunities they advertise for their students and faculty.
What other privileges do member institutions enjoy?
Member schools are entitled to appoint a faculty member representative to serve on the HBS Board of Scientific Advisors. This Board evaluates our annual Grant-in-Aid proposal submissions, and is consulted periodically on matters pertaining to HBS policy and teaching and research opportunities as they relate to HBS users.
What do member institution funds support at HBS?
Member institution funds support mainly graduate research at HBS. For 60 years, our Foundation has had an annual Grant-in-Aid of Research program for graduate research that is based at HBS. Funding is based on weeks in residence at the Station, up to a 12 week maximum. We typically fund about a dozen projects, amounting to $20-$25K each year. For more information about this program, please visit www.highlandsbiological.org/grants-in-aid-of-research/.
Why become involved with the HBS consortium—can't my students simply take the same courses at my university, or take courses at HBS anyway?
Consortium membership is not a requirement for students to take HBS courses; however, we do give preference to students and alumni from membership institutions for course space and financial aid. Consortium membership provides easy access to the field-based, in-depth experiential courses at HBS. Colleges and universities nationwide are experiencing a sharp reduction in the availability of a full range of field biology courses, including organismal field biology courses, that teach students the nuts-and-bolts of what makes biological communities and ecosystems tick. These are the types of courses in which we specialize. HBS is dedicated to the "up close and personal" model of field biology education, and we do so in a region nearly unrivaled in temperate zone biodiversity. Our students study their subject all day every day for up to two weeks, offering unparalleled opportunities for a deep experience in the field and lab with the study system. The southern Appalachian landscape, with the highest, wettest, and greatest extent of mountainous terrain in eastern North America, is our classroom and laboratory.
How much does it cost to become an institutional member of the HBS consortium?
The institutional membership rate is just $500 annually.
How does a school join the HBS consortium?
Membership is easy: Contact HBS Business Officer Katie Lapish (firstname.lastname@example.com, 828-526-2602) to arrange for payment of the annual membership fee ($500, payable to the Highlands Biological Foundation, Inc.). To nominate someone from your school for the Board of Scientific Advisors, contact HBS Executive Director Jim Costa (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Associate Director Sarah Workman (firstname.lastname@example.com) and we will assist with your nominee and with any questions you may have. We will provide you with information about HBS research and course opportunities for your students and faculty, and send you a link to download a high-resolution image of the HBS logo. We value your membership! You will become a part a venerable group of regional colleges and universities, many of which have been a part of the Highlands Biological Station community for decades.
We thank our current member institutions for their support:

Alopecia areata, the autoimmune disease which causes patches of hair loss, now affects one in every 50 people worldwide. Findings in a new study by the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, whose objective was "to provide an evidence-based systematic review on the epidemiology and the burden of alopecia areata", demand that the condition be given more attention. The study found that not only is alopecia areata the most prevalent autoimmune disorder but that it comes second only to androgenetic alopecia as the most common form of hair loss.
What is alopecia areata?
Alopecia areata is caused by a malfunction of the immune system (the means by which the body naturally protects itself against illness and infection). It is not fully understood why, but some people's immune systems cease to recognise the hair follicles, regarding them instead as foreign bodies – it then instruct the body's defences to attack. The result is hair loss, usually in small, coin-sized patches. In some cases, all hair on the scalp is lost (alopecia totalis) or even the entire body (alopecia universalis).
Who is affected?
The Miller School of Medicine's study found the lifetime incidence of this patchy form of hair loss is approximately 2% worldwide, but could find no evidence that it affects one sex more than the other. It can occur at any age but it most commonly first happens in the twenties and thirties. Those who experience alopecia areata at an early age carry a higher lifetime risk of more extensive hair loss. It is believed that, for some, genetics are a factor: one in five people with alopecia areata have a family history of it. They are also at risk for anxiety, depression, vitiligo and other autoimmune conditions such hypothyroidism.
Is there a cure?
Alopecia areata can cause a great deal of emotional distress, especially if the bald patches are such that careful hairstyling cannot disguise them. While there is, unfortunately, no proven cure, the chances of complete regrowth within a year are good, approximately between 60 and 80% – even with no treatment involved. This latest research confirmed that a relapse is possible at any given time, and there is no way of preventing one. Possible treatments include corticosteroid injections, immunotherapy, minoxidil lotion and ultraviolet light therapy but these are not appropriate in all cases – and many doctors would advocate an initial approach of 'watchful waiting'.

In the wake of Louisiana's devastating flooding, Fannie Mae has given its mortgage servicers leeway to grant periods of forbearance, or the postponement of legal action on the delinquent payment of a loan, to borrowers in affected areas.
Under Fannie Mae's disaster relief guidelines, servicers may suspend or reduce mortgage payments for up to ninety days for homeowners affected by disaster, and offer forbearance for up to six months if they can contact the homeowner – plus an additional six months if the homeowner was current on their payments.
"Our servicers are committed to helping homeowners affected by natural disasters and we are grateful for their efforts to offer the appropriate assistance to families in need," said Mallory Evans, vice president of servicing at Fannie Mae. "Our thoughts are with all of those who have been impacted."
Freddie Mac offers a similar option to home buyers affected by natural disasters, in which forbearance can be granted for up to one year. The IRS has also granted relief to taxpayers in affected Louisiana parishes.

Sales of existing single-family, coop and condominium homes fell 3.5% in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.67 million in July, significantly below Wall Street expectations of a rate of 4.9 million and the lowest level of the year, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday. The rate remained 21% ahead of July 2010, when sales were depressed in the wake of the expiration of the federal home-buyer tax credit.
Prices fell as well, with the national median price slipping 4.4% year-over-year to $174,000. Distressed accounted for 29% of sales in July, compared with 30% in June and 32% in July 2010.
Single-family home sales dropped 4.0% to a rate of 4.12 million, 21.5% above the level of July 2010. The median existing single-family price was down 4.5% from July 2010 to $174,800.
Existing condo and co-op sales were flat at a rate of 550,000 in July, 17.3% above the 469,000-unit pace a year earlier. The median existing price fell 4.0% to $168,400.
First-time buyers accounted for 32% of sales in July, up from 31% in June but down from 38% in July 2010. Investors bought 18% of properties sold, down from 19% in June and July, 2010. All-cash sales accounted for 29% of transactions, flat with June. Repeat buyers were flat with June at 50% of the market.
Total for-sale inventory fell 1.7% to 3.65 million, a 9.4-month, up from a 9.2-month supply in June.
Sales in the Northeast rose 2.7% to an annual rate of 750,000, 19.0% above July 2010, with the median price down 6.8% year-over-year to $245,600. The Midwest was up 1.0% to a pace of 1.05 million, 31.3% above a year earlier, with the median price down 2.9% to $146,300. Sales in the South dropped 1.6% to 1.84 million, 19.5% ahead of last July, with the media price down 2.2% to $152,600. The West dropped 12.6% to a rate of 1.04 million, still 16.9% ahead of July 2010, with the median price down 7.1% to $208,300.
The Realtor group blamed the decline on tight credit and faulty appraisals.
"Affordability conditions this year have been the most favorable on record dating back to 1970, but many buyers are being held back because banks are offering financing to only the most highly qualified borrowers, ignoring a large share of otherwise creditworthy buyers," said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. "Those potential buyers represent the difference between an uneven recovery and a much more robust housing market that could stimulate additional economic activity and create jobs."
NAR President Ron Phipps, a Realtor from Rhode Island, added, "For both mortgage credit and home appraisals, there¹s been a parallel pendulum swing from very loose standards which led to the housing boom, to unnecessarily restrictive practices as an overreaction to the housing correction. Beyond the tight credit problems, all appraisals must be done by valuators with local expertise and using reasonable comparisons--it doesn¹t make sense to consistently see so many valuations coming in below negotiated prices, often below replacement construction costs."
Phipps said banks are at fault for much of the appraisal problem. "Banks frequently request numerous sales comparisons, well beyond the customary three comps used in the past, with little consideration that some of those properties may be discounted foreclosures used to valuate a traditional home in good condition," he said. "To a great extent, banks are exerting influence on appraised valuations with negative impacts for both home sales and prices."
Adam Rudiger, home-building analyst at Wells Fargo, issued an explanation of the factors depressing the existing-home market in a research note to investors. In it, he wrote, "Some may argue there is a bifurcation between distressed and nondistressed home price declines (and also between new and existing markets). We agree one may exist in terms of actual realized transaction prices. However, as long as distressed sales continue to remain elevated (29% of July existing home sales) we believe pricing concerns, both from buyers, sellers, and lenders will persist, limiting mortgage availability and complicating appraisals. We see the only viable solution as a one whereby excess inventory, both rental and for-sale is absorbed. With new home inventory at all-time lows, the problems lie in the existing market. Accelerating household formations remain the key to a recovery and the market's ability to reduce this overhang. We note, year to date, according to the Census' Homeowner Vacancy Survey, household formations have been anemic at just 22,000."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Trivago (TRVG), a hotel search platform, is going public at a time when the company can tout robust revenue growth and a high-profile in the U.S. from heavy advertising. Trivago is positioned in the fast-growing travel, hotel, and leisure business and boasts access to 1.3 million hotels worldwide. Management believes this strong performance can be maintained through further global expansion, mobile product adoption, and the overall shift to online travel booking.
The stock (at the midpoint of its IPO range) earns our "dangerous" rating, and we advise caution when considering an investment in it for three primary reasons:
- Big future profits are already factored into the IPO price.
- Major red flags on lack of internal controls and corporate governance found in the footnotes.
- The firm's middleman business model lacks the differentiation and competitive advantage needed to achieve and sustain profitability.
Do Not Buy Shares For Ownership In The Firm
Ownership in a firm usually comes with the benefit of voting rights and a voice on business matters such as acquisitions/mergers and board decisions. However, those purchasing TRVG for ownership in the company will not have much of a voice at all. The 28.5 million shares offered at IPO will have just an 8% economic interest in the business operations and less than 1% voting power, subsequent to the post-IPO merger. The voting interest will be split between holders of Class B shares (which represent 10 votes per share) and the Class A shares. Post IPO, Expedia (EXPE), previously in the Danger Zone in September 2015 will hold 65% of the voting power, the founders will hold 34.1%, and remaining class A shareholders will hold 0.9% voting power.
History Of Revenue Growth Without Profits
The percentage of unprofitable firms going public has been growing since 2011 when 45% of IPOs made no money compared to 66% in 2015. Trivago is another firm to add to the "unprofitable IPO" list, with the likes of previous Danger Zone picks Square (SQ) and Box (BOX) in recent years. SQ has underperformed the market since IPO and BOX is down 34% since we put them in the Danger Zone.
Over the last two years, Trivago's after-tax profit (NOPAT) has declined from -$24 million to -$37 million, or -54% year-over-year (YoY). Meanwhile, revenue has grown from $376 million to $538 million, or 43% YoY during the same time.

The Cadiz province of southernmost Spain,besides being a major bottleneck for raptormigration, holds one of the largest populationsof Griffon Vultures in Spain (1,928 breedingpairs; 8.2% of Spanish total, Gutiérrez 2003) andthe increasing number of Rüppell's Vulturesightings in Spain is surely related to the overallrecovery of Griffon Vultures in the country(18,070 pairs in 1999, representing a 506%increase between 1979 and 1999). Many ofthese birds migrate to Africa for the winter andthere they overlap the breeding range ofRüppell's Vultures, a few of which then apparentlyjoin the Griffons on their way back to Spain(Gutiérrez 2003).

The Black and Tans are one of several paramilitary units employed by the British in Ireland as Temporary Constables from 1920 to today to suppress revolution in Ireland, the other bodies being the auxiliaries, the RIC, the RUC and currently the PSNI. Composed largely of British veterans and criminals released from prison, the unit's nickname comes from the colour of their improvised uniforms initially worn by its original members up util the PSNI of today. Established to target the Irish Republican Army, the Black and Tans have become notorious through their numerous attacks on the defencelss Irish civilian population. As can be seen from the events of yesterday the Zulus referred to in the song below, also have their own Black and Tans. Britain created the original concentration camp in their occupation of South Africa and murdered 26,000 women and children alone in the camps, There were many blacks murdered but they just didn't bother to count them. As of earlier today they still don;t bother to properly cont their victims. Marian price along with her comrades interned without trial in Ireland today are the inheritors of this British legacy of concentration camps they passed on to the Nazi's and the Gitmo of their partner today.

Lonmin plc (LSE: LMI, JSE: LOLMI), formerly Lonrho plc, is a producer of platinumgroup metals operating in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index. Its registered office is inLondon, and its operational headquarters are in Johannesburg, South Africa.[3]
The Company was incorporated in the United Kingdom on 13 May 1909 as the London and Rhodesian Mining and Land Company Limited.[4]
Businessman Tiny Rowland was recruited as chief executive in 1962.[5] For many years during the second half of the twentieth century it was frequently in the news, not only due to the politically-sensitive part of the world in which it had mining businesses, but also – as it strove to become a conglomerate not wholly dependent on these businesses – in a number of takeover battles, most notably for the Harrods of Knightsbridge department store.[5]
In 1968, Lonrho acquired Ashanti Goldfields Corporation, a gold mining business inGhana.[6] The former Conservative minister Duncan Sandys, a director of Ashanti, became Lonrho's chairman in 1972.[7]
During the 80s, Lonrho entered the British newspaper market, buying the Sunday newspaper The Observer in 1981[8] and the newly launched daily Today in 1986.[9] Today was sold to News International the following year,[10] while the Guardian Media Group bought the Observer in 1993.[8]
Sir Angus Ogilvy, married to a member of the British royal family (Princess Alexandra), was a Lonrho director and this increased media interest in the company's affairs. Ogilvy's career ended when Lonrho was involved in a sanctions-busting scandal concerning trade with Rhodesia. Prime Minister, Edward Heath, criticised the company, describing it in the House of Commons in 1973 as "an unpleasant and unacceptable face of capitalism."[11]
Tiny Rowland was finally ejected from Lonrho in October 1993 after a boardroom tussle with director Dieter Bock.[12]
Two months before Rowland's death (on 26 July 1998) the assets of Lonrho were demerged. Two publicly listed companies, Lonrho plc and Lonrho Africa plc were created – the former retaining all the non-African businesses and mining assets.[13] In 1999 Lonrho plc was renamed as Lonmin plc and a new era as a focused mining company began.[14] Since then it has divested itself of all non-core assets.
In late 2008 CEO Brad Mills announced his intention to resign from his position, and Lonmin indicated that former chief strategic officer responsible for the company's business development, Ian Farmer, would replace him.[15] This could be viewed as a positive development, as Farmer has more experience in the platinum industry. Mills leaves behind a "significant contribution in developing the company over the past four years" according to chairperson, Sir John Craven, as his introduction of mechanized mining has increased safety for the miners, as well as increasing productivity.[16]
Mine "bloodbath" shocks post-apartheid S.Africa By Jon Herskovitz
Newspaper headlines screamed "Bloodbath", "Killing Field" and "Mine Slaughter", with graphic photographs of heavily armed white and black police officers walking casually past the bloodied corpses of black men lying crumpled in the dust.
The images, along with Reuters television footage of a phalanx of officers opening up with automatic weapons on a small group of men in blankets and t-shirts, rekindled uncomfortable memories of South Africa's racist past.
Police chief Riah Phiyega confirmed 34 dead and 78 injured after officers moved in against 3,000 striking drill operators armed with machetes and sticks and massed on a rocky outcrop at the mine, 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Johannesburg.
Phiyega, a former banking executive who was only appointed to lead the police force in June, said officers had acted in self-defence against charging, armed assailants at Lonmin's Marikana platinum plant.
"The police members had to employ force to protect themselves from the charging group," she told a news conference, noting that two policemen had been hacked to death by a mob at the mine on Tuesday.
However, the South African Institute of Race relations likened the incident to the 1960 Sharpeville township massacre near Johannesburg, when apartheid police opened fire on a crowd of black protesters, killing more than 50.
"Obviously the issues that have led to this are not the same as the past, but the response and the outcome is very similar," research manager Lucy Holborn told Reuters.

Sunflower Party - Original Framed glass art of colorful sunflowers
and abstract butterfly by artist Linda Paul
hang as a painting for wall decor or use as a kitchen backsplash
Artist's inspiration: I love sunflowers and happy colors. This original artwork in completely hand-painted in translucent paint that I make myself. After the painting was completed, I backed it in silver leaf. The silver shines through and reflects the light beautifully. Even in a very dark room, this artwork will capture whatever light there is and reflect it because of the silver on the back of the glass,,
Linda's art glass is inspired by stained glass but is designed to be used as wall art. The light, rather than coming through the glass as in a stained glass window, is captured and reflected by the silver, copper or gold on the back of the glass behind the transparent paint
3 Installation and Hanging Options: Option 1 Ready to hang removable backsplash: You can just hang the framed glass art piece directly on your wall as a removable backsplash. There is hanging wire attached to the back of the frame. Make sure that the hook you put in your wall is either in a stud or a expandable wall anchor. You can keep the piece from sliding around by putting removable adhesive putty on the back of the four corners. Option 2 Permanent Installation of entire framed artwork. You can glue the frame and backing board to the wall using a Omni Grip White tile adhesive (available at Home Depot) or two part epoxy. The advantage of doing it this way rather than gluing the glass itself directly to the wall, is you may be able to remove it later without destroying the artwork, The frame would likely get damaged it when you pry it off, but the art itself could be salvaged if you are careful. Option 3 Permanent Installation of glass directly onto wall (out of the frame): You can install the glass piece directly to your wall then put your own stone or glass border trim around it. Do not attempt to remove artwork from wall once you have set it in place. Do not use any metal tools on the back of the artwork Installation Tip: If you tile up to the bottom where you want the piece glued, the frame or glass artwork will have something to rest on as the adhesive sets. You can also temporarily screw a board to the wall for the piece to rest on as the glue dries, then remove the board after the glue has set and tile around it. Cleaning Instructions: You can clean with Windex and a lint free cloth, spraying the Windex on the cloth rather that on the glass itself so that the cleaner does not puddle between the glass and the frame email our tile design experts or call 1-800-936-9958 to order or inquire toll free from USA, Canada, the Caribbean, Alaska or Hawaii |

Why I Think "You Look So Skinny!" Isn't the Best Compliment
If you've read the "About Me" section of the blog, you might remember my saying that I used to write things in Gmail and save them in the drafts folder, just because I enjoyed it. I'm copying and pasting one of those things below, and because I wrote it a while ago and in a different context it sounds a little more article-y than blog-y. I thought of it because I spoke to someone today who was telling me about her teenage daughter who was trying to lose weight by doing Weight Watchers, and that she was only eating half of her daily points. I said that she should probably be eating more because if she pushes herself too hard she's more likely to regain the weight she lost, on top of it probably not being super healthy, and the mom was kind of like "eh, she looks great, if it's working I'm not going to discourage her." It got me wondering if maybe the girl could sort of feel that and how she felt about it- kind of getting positive reinforcement on maybe not-so-positive behavior. I don't know them personally but I have enough context on their family over the years and know the mom's a little appearance driven- what if the girl doesn't even give a crap about losing weight, but feels like she should? Again, reading a ton into it, for all I know I'm way off. But it made me think of this thing I wrote and I thought I'd share it here.
I'm having a hard time taking a compliment.
Like many women, my weight has fluctuated most of my life. I've been primarily chubby, occasionally tipping over to the not-as-cute "chunky." This isn't a new story. My weight has gone up and down, and my attitude along with it- sometimes as a teen twisted up in my sheets late at night, face puffy, red and wet, crying at the injustice and irony of my giant fucking Jncos not fitting in the hips, other times more ambivalent. Rarely feeling more than fleetingly good, but sometimes feeling not so bad. Until recently.
In about the last 2 years, a shift started to happen and I started to accept myself. Rather than swing from "ugh" to "eh", I started to swing from "hmm..." to "daaamn." This has been a change independent of actual weight, one I can only assume has been brought on as a result of wisdom through age and the confidence (or "fuck it" 'tude) that can bring. I wasn't becoming the kind of person who was wearing defiant, roll-exposing crop tops or anything but I was eating what I wanted and saying things like "maybe this is just the way I'm built and I'm fine with that", even if it was sometimes in a voice that was just a little too loud and sounded like it was a little more for my own benefit than others.
And then I hit a downswing. All this eating what I wanted and not doing any exercise that wasn't incidental, while delicious and fun, caused a weight gain that I tried to ignore but my jeans wouldn't let me. When I found myself crying in the shower like a living Lifetime movie I decided it was time to face some facts and make some decisions. I weighed myself, found I had gained 20 pounds and decided I'd like to lose it. As someone who had been waving the fat flag, albeit at half mast, it felt like a tiny betrayal to want to lose weight but one I realized was necessary to feel better about myself.
Through eating more carefully and exercising on purpose/witchcraft, I've lost most of the weight I'd gained and I've gotten a lot of complimentary encouragement along the way that I've found a little internally confusing. As a hairdresser I see a lot of different people regularly but not necessarily on the daily, and those people have a tendency to say variations of "You look great! Have you lost weight?" when they see me at their monthly appointment. And while, yes, I have, and yes, I'm trying to, and so yes, it's a compliment...a small part of me doesn't completely see it as one. I don't resent the individual paying me the compliment and looking at me expectantly, but I do resent the fact that it's an assumed positive, that since I'm chubby I must, of course, be trying to lose weight. EVEN THOUGH IT'S TRUE. There inlies the conflict, as well as the awkwardness.
This actually became an issue, if you can call such a thing an issue, before I was even interested in losing weight. I'd wear a dress that was a little less flowy and people would excitedly tell me I looked thinner, and I didn't want to say "Thank you." Not to be bitchy, not because it made me mad, but because I wanted to somehow get across that it's not a compliment across the board and that I wasn't actually trying to lose weight, that I was happy where I was. There were a couple times that I just went "Oh really?" in reply to "You look so skinny!" but it felt like being rude by omission. I usually caved and said "thank you" out of politeness, and because they were paying me.
Now that I actually am trying to lose weight, I find the issue complicated further. I thank them because I am happy to hear it, but almost always clarify it with a rushed "...but I just want to lose the weight I gained, nothing more, I'm cool being chubby," still just a little too loud and a perhaps still a little bit too directed at myself. What's the best way to accept a compliment you're not sure you want to be paid? It's a question I don't have the answer to. But I'm trying to answer it as graciously as possible.
5 comments:
You nailed it. Is it weird that I also don't like when people notice I've lost weight because it's a reminder that they must notice when I've gained it AND also I'm like DON'T NOTICE YET, THERE'S GOING TO BE A BIG REVEAL!
ReplyDeleteI'm on a diet now. Because I feel far to fat and unhealthy. Will it work? I'm not so sure. But even if it does, I feel uncomfortable with any attention I am getting for my weight, losing it or gaining. I once lost a LOT, and people did nothing but comment on it. It's my body, it's private, folks! In general, I would much rather people complimented me on my dressing style, my new haircut or the colour of my eyes, because those are things that are not wrapped up in so many issues for me.

If you don't want to take the time to open up an image editor to convert it though, Make JPEG Droplet can do the job instantly. Advertisement The droplet's download actually contains three applications: JPEG 100, JPEG 80, and JPEG 6o, with the numbers referring to the quality of the JPEGs they produce. Pick the ones you want, drop them on your Mac's Dock, and you're done. Now, you can drag and drop tons of image file formats onto the app icon, and they'll be copied and converted to a JPEG instantly within the same directory. The app can handle TIFF files, PSDs, PDFs, PNGs, bitmap images, and more, so you're not likely to stump it. The execution couldn't be simpler, and if this is something you do often, it can save a ton of time.Make JPEG Droplet (Free) | Simon Heys via One Thing WellReply18 repliesLeave a reply

We have 5 advices for bancodeimoveis.net that could be taken into account.
PageRank is link analysis algorithm developed by one of Google founders Larry Page. In Google Toolbar the PageRank (in short PR) is displayed as a whole number from 0 to 10. Popular websites has higher PR.
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: The time when PR was a significant factor for better positioning in Google Results are in the past. It's still a factor, but there are a lot more factors that should be considered.
Range | Rank | Position Gain/Lost | Change |
Last week | 761,683 | -148,965 | -19.56% |
Last month | 917,997 | 7,349 | 0.8% |
Last 3 months | 921,000 | 10,352 | 1.12% |
Every day we check and store site world rank in our database. Highest rank is 1. Next rank is 2 and so on. If website traffic is increasing, the rank will go lower. If website traffic is decreasing, the rank will go higher. In this section we compare traffic rank on an 1 week, 3 months and 6 months basis.
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: If your website (in this case bancodeimoveis.net) rank is going down you should check it for some problems.
Every day we check and store site world rank in our database. Highest rank is 1. Next rank is 2 and so on. If website traffic is increasing, the rank will go lower. If website traffic is decreasing, the rank will go higher. This chart shows how bancodeimoveis.net site rank is changed. Note that we update only ranks in first one million sites and if rank is over 1M, it is not shown on the chart.
This is page title as it is in HTML <title> tag.
Your title is too long. You should consider shorten it to less than 71 characters. Right now it's 98. Google will only show a maximum of 71 characters of the title tag.
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: It's preferable for the page title to be short and descriptive for the visitor.
This is page description as it is in <meta> tag. It is used from many search engines, including Google when this page is shown as search result.
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: Meta description must describe well content of the page and it's preferable to be under few hundred characters.
This is page keywords as it is in <meta> tag. It was used from many search engines, including Google when calculating search result. Meta Keywords are still important, but modern search engines crawl the whole page and check the whole page text.
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: Meta Keywords must describe well content of the page and must be under few hundred characters. It is very important Meta Keywords to be less 1-2 KB, else it will have very negative SEO impact.

You should have only one H1 tag!
This is ratio between HTML/Javascript code and actual text information on the page.
Your text to code ratio is too low (8%). You should think of adding more text to your site. Right now the code is too much!
WEBTARANTULA ADVICE: Low ratio will usually have negative SEO impact. Low ratio can be fixed with adding some text or by moving formatting and programming to external CSS and JS files.
By the book all <img> tags require to have alt tag. e.g. <img src="cat.gif" alt="My cat Tommy" /> This alt text is shown if image is not load for some reason - e.g. text only browsing, mobile browsing, broken picture and so on. This alt text is also shown when mouse cursor is over the picture. This alt text is also used from modern search engines as picture title. Sure not all images really need alt tag. In this case an empty alt tag might be add, in order to satisfy the HTML standard.
You have 4 images with no alt attribute. It's good to have alternate text (alt) attributes to all you images.
Internal Links | External Links | External Nofollow |

Hotel Clarion Collection, Shaheed Jeet Singh Marg
The usual suspects of the party circuit flocked this bash. All the P3 pundits were back on the scene after their New Year vacations. While designer Ravi Bajaj wore his trademark hat, designer Suneet Varma sported a spiky hairstyle. Also seen was pretty woman Ameeta Seth (who has been missing in action for quite some time). Others present at the event included socialite Simar Duggal, Sonu Wassan, former actress Sangeeta Bijlani, designers Vijay Arora, Alka Bali, Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna and restaurateur AD Singh.

The pace bowler Geoff Allott entered the World Cup record books as New Zealand and Zimbabwe saw their second-round match stalled by bad weather in Headingly, England, yesterday.
The Kiwi left-armer Allott, 27, took three wickets to take his tally to 18, equaling the tournament record, as Zimbabwe was skittled for 175.
New Zealand reached 70 for three off 15 overs in reply before bad light cut short the day's play. The game will resume today.

Villa Parma, Gardens and Chestnuts
by Clare Gervasoni
The early Swiss and Italian settlers of the Hepburn Springs area left many legacies enjoyed by today's community. Bullboars, mineral water, and architecture like the Macaroni Factory and Villa Parma, blend with gardens boasting vines and chestnuts planted by early settlers. The Swiss and Italian pioneers of the area, as a general rule, were hard workers who blended the traditions of their homeland to the new conditions of Australia. Winemaking was an important business to many, and vines became a feature of the area. Most properties owned by Swiss/Italians featured at least one chestnut tree in their orchard, and although most of the vines are gone the chestnuts continue to provide their bounty to this day.
A beautiful Italian villa in the Hepburn Springs area is Villa Parma. The stunning property was built by Italian born Fabrizio Crippa, and its architectural significance has been recognised by a listing on the Heritage Victoria register. This property also featured a beautiful garden and vine walk, and today the garden is again becoming a feature of the property. In 1864 the Daylesford Express said the following on the property:
"A fitting and graceful addition to the fine vineyard which Mr Crippa has made by perseverance and hardworking, is the fine house he is now building, which, when finished, will not only be a most comfortable residence, but will be quite an ornament to the road. It is a stone and brick building with ground floor, upper storey, underground cellars, etc. The ground floor is composed of five rooms and a magnificent entrance hall, and the upper storey of six rooms. The underground is one large cellar, prepared expressly for the storage of wine, which Mr Crippa will shortly commence making. It is built in the most substantial manner, and every convenience is provided for the purpose to which it is to be devoted."
Of course, Crippa was not the only Hepburn Springs resident becoming known for his house and garden. The above quote begins with:
"There is perhaps no place in the colony so peculiarly favoured as Daylesford with an abundance of resources, and its needs but a glance at the many neat and tasteful gardens surrounding some of our richest claims to make this apparent."
Of Crippa's garden the journalist gives us a vivid description:
"Upon entering the vineyard, the first thing that strikes the visitor is the extreme neatness displayed in all the arrangements, and the artistic skill in which has prevailed in layout of the grounds. The centre walk of the vineyard is covered with clinging vines, from which heavy branches of grapes are pendent. Interspersed with the vines, but in a way not to interfere with their cultivation, Mr Crippa has planted other fruits, as well as vegetables, and amongst other things he noticed the tobacco plant, which appears to thrive well."
Like many of the Italian speakers in the district, Fabrizio Crippa was involved in community service. He was on the first committee formed to set aside the Hepburn Mineral Springs, and thereby was instrumental in protecting the mineral water springs from damage occurring to the springs due to mining. Crippa was also elected to the Yandoit and Franklin Road Board in 1861. His successful election was announced in the following manner, and it is interesting to note, only around five years after their arrival, that three of the nine elected were native Italian speakers.
"...The room was then cleared, while the scrutineers examined the votes, and in about a quarter of an hour afterwards, the Chairman declared the result to be as follows:
Successful Candidates: Lawn-233, Burton-198, Crippa-182, Johnson-182, Righetti-175, Meggett-175, Lucini-173, Hart-154, Parker-149...
The announcement was received with a considerable cheering, and the friends of the returned candidates appeared to be much pleased by the result of the election..." Daylesford Express
Crippa was a successful man who owned a lot of land, especially in the Hepburn township. His vineyard had over 15,000 vines and produced award winning wine. In the 1866-67 Intercolonial Exhibition Crippa entered Colonial Wine into Class II Agricultural and Horticultural products, Section 9. By 1890 Crippa had left Hepburn Springs and taken out a Colonial Wine Licence in Exhibition St., Melbourne. He died in 1892.
The annual Hepburn Springs Swiss/Italian Festa celebrates the spirit of early settlers such as Fabrizio Crippa, and the community celebrates the benefits of their foresight.

Nathan McEwan's WIAP Winning Beer
On the stormy South Coast of our city, sky meets sea in a dramatic clash of the elements. But instead of fighting the waves, this brew embraces them. An NZ-hopped, pale ale base is lovingly married to a very special organic honey, infused with the salty goodness of smoked Wellington seaweed. This beautiful bee-goo is added to the fermentation process, resulting in a refreshingly hoppy pale ale, offset by underlying depths of smoky sweetness.
Brewer: ParrotDog
Style: American Pale Ale
Alcohol Content: 6%

Non-linear aspects of the Landau-Ginzburg model with applications to new high temperature superconductors
- Authors
- Journal
- Physica C Superconductivity 0921-4534
- Publisher

- Disciplines
Abstract A Landau-Ginzburg model is proposed as a phenomenological description of both standard and high temperature superconductors. Attention is drawn to a direct link with a microscopic second-quantized Hamiltonian. Exact solutions of the equations of state are found and discussed both in the absence and presence of superconducting currents. Qualitative agreement is found for the critical current as a function of the reduced temperature. The importance of the short coherence length in high T c superconductors and the correlation between this and the sign of the effective mass is pointed out.

Soon afterwards an ancient Saxon amulet is stolen from the museum and the dead bodies of young boys begin to turn up arranged as grotesque works of art with components of the gold amulet around their necks.
