Weuse many terms to mean honor and mean many different ideas when werefer to honor.Honor: A Phenomenology is designed to fix all of these problems. Aground-breaking examination of honor as a metaphenomenon, this bookincorporates various structures of social control including prestige, face,shame, and affiliated honor and the rejection of said structures by dignifiedindividuals and groups. It shows honor to be a concept that encompassesa number of processes that operate together in order to structure society.Honor is how we are inscribed with social value by others and the mean sby which we inscribe others with social honor. Because it is the meansby which individuals fit in and function with society, the main divisionsinternal (within the psyche of the individual and external (within the normsand institutions of society). Honor is the glue that holds groups togetherand the wedge that forces them apart; it defines who is us and who them. Itaccounts for the continuity and change in socio-political systems.Robert L.

Part IAn Introduction to Honor 1 Introduction"Human beings do not normally a ttend to the deeper levels of the self.. . because consciousness . . . substitutes the sy mbo l for the reality,or perceives the reality only th rough the symbo l."!IN MEDIAS RESHonor is a multiphenomenal category of concepts that , as a system, hier-archically st ruc tures society when an Oth er inscribes value o nto an indi-vidual. To study honor, one must study value, virtue, law, and all of thesocial sciences. It is a subtle concept whose influential tendrils extend wellbey ond its underst andin g in c omm on usage. Honor, when elevated to awholly inclusive level of ab str action, binds individuals tog eth er and form ssociety, but it also tears them apart. Honor provides a novel lens throu ghwhich politics can be viewed and int erpret ed, but it is actively being dimin -ished within the academy.Rec ent liter atu re on honor strongly suggests that social science is look-ing for some other concept to replace it. Honor's evolution as a concep thas instilled it with qualities that are politically i nco rrec t, display some ofthe less fl att ering qualities of hum anit y, and p erp etu ate inequality. Wh yd oth social science prot est so much? Evicting honor as a concept of criti-cal inquiry does not produ ce a politically correct global social environ-m ent , it would not eliminate the mor e base qualities of hum anit y, and itw ould not eradicate in equality . Honor is a social fact, even if some wouldchoose to ign or e it.Th e question now be com es "Is h onor interesting enough to merit a com-prehensive scholarly examination?" By thinkin g in t erm s of what is owedhonor, we are valuing the concept and evaluating it within l ar ger contexts.Com pared to other concepts, how does it rate? Does hon or belong within atheoretical monograph? Furth erm ore, we are objectifying honor and claim-ing d omini on over it by judging it and granting it social value merely byquesti onin g how much social value it has. We are judging whether or notwe should honor honor.Perhapswe should not. Honor evokes a multitud eof images, few of whichfit into the early 21 xt century Ameri can world. He arin g the word h onor sug-gests blood mixed with irr ationality: men killing their wives to preventfamily dishonor, kni ght s slaying dragons to win enough hon or to marry aprincess, and one thous and Greek ships sailing to Troy (and staying for ten 4 Honor: A Phenomenologyyears) to bring back a wife who ran away with a dashing young man . Butif h onor is a social fact, it must be all around us. Does everyday, ordinaryhonor m att er when there are no dragons left to slay and no beauties left toreclaim? Are we left only with the ins anit y of blood feuds and egoism? Thatwill depend on how one chooses to examine honor. Sometimes the journeyis the key to underst and the destination.Hon or has lost its way. The primary methodological difficulty within thestudy of honor isthat theword means many things and that, because it meansmany things, its value as a word becomes relatively meaningless. We usemultiple concepts interchangeably when speaking about honor, disregardingconceptual differences. By aggregating related but unique concepts togetheras one, the academicdiscourse on honor is mired in absurdity. Our disc our seon honor has been weakened by our lack of specificity in dealing with honoras experienced universally. Many honor studies focus on particularities ofindividual honor cultures rather than showing procedural trends in honor'smanifestation through out cultures, societies, peoples, and groups.'This study begins, therefore, in the middle of thing s- a great manythings. Th e literature of honor is expansive and connective, which meansthat a holistic undert akin g of honor must also be expansive and connective.It is my hope that this project does so, yet meets D ahl' s requirements thattheory should be b oth comprehensive and par simonious. .1 I conceptualizeho nor as the category of related processes that structure social reality byinscribing value onto persons and groups. Th ese processes are both internaland exte rna l to individuals.Hon oring is an action between two (or more) parties, typically an indi-vidual and a group. However, an individual can affiliate with or have mem-bership in multiple groups simultaneously. He or she honors and is honoredbased upon relational identities within these groups. His or her identity canbe discrete, or nested, such as being a citizen of Indianapolis, Indiana, andof the United States. All are accurate, but the imp ort ance of each identitydepends upon the level of analysis within an inquiry. Honor structures soci-ety, including politics, and accounts for corporatized agency from individualto group to state to system.To fully erect a general understanding of the pro-cess of honor, we must examine the pieces directly and indirectly engaged.First there is a relationship between at least two parties: the honoree and thehonoring-agent. Almost assuredly the group(s) to which these parties belongare involved as witnesses to the honor processes. There is an act on behalfof the honoree either of being, having, or doing. Thi s act is recognized bythe honoring-agent as having value that reaches a thr eshold of exceptional-ity that the group designates for public n otat ion. Th e bestowal of honor isthe inscription of a value upon a p art y by an Other. The honoring process iscontinuous; it sets new precedence and requires maintenance.Because honoring is the process whereby a group confers a value uponthe individual, it represents n oth ing less th an the means by which indi-viduals and groups bind themselves, and it inc orpor ates the assumption Introduction 5and divesting of sovereignty. Throu gh the action of confe rra l, the h onor -ing agent is claiming sovereignty over the individual, g ran ting a distinc-tion of, if n othin g else, exceptionalism, typically ref err ed to as excellence.Th e individual divests him- or herself of per sonal sovereignty in order togain and m aintain social value according to rules and rituals that representthe sacred and bind the p arti es tog eth er. Thi s is n ot alw ays a h app y andunchallenged pro cess.Insof ar as the conferral is a value placed upon the individual, that indi-vidual bec om es exceptional or excellent in a p arti cul ar way according tothe group and is treated as such. Thi s valuation becomes real f or the mem-bers of the design atin g group. Mor e appropriately, the individual membersof the group accept the parti cular value-designation as fact. Th e sover-eign character of the group manifests itself throu gh the inscription of valueupon the individual regardless of the individu al' s will. Th e acceptance andpromulgation of this value by other members of the gro up result in thereality of this social valuation regardless of wh eth er the individual desiresto be so designated. The individual may resist either the desi gna tion or thesovereignty of the hon orin g-agent in a particular social sphere. Th ere aremany parti es (individuals and groups), each of which may make cl aim s ofsovereignty. The areas of overlap, where cl aim s to sovereignty are multipleand challenged, pres ent real points of contestation in social life.Honoring is, therefore, a pro cess of altering social reality through them edium of value. Th e pro cess affects not only the honoring agent or thehonoree, but also the other individual members under the sovereignty ofthe honorin g agent. H onor must be b orn e by the honor ee, be stow ed bythe honorin g agent, and observed by others for honoring to be effective.'Th e use of value is imp ort ant as value includes absolute, relative, and idealforms. Positive valuations of actions and qualities can generally be consid-ered "goo d" and can increase honor. Negative valuations of actions andqualities may be deemed "bad" and can either decrease honor or increasesha me.' Th e degree to which a p art icul ar quality or action approaches theideal is its excellence.The process of hon orin g is c ontinuou s; it is the mann er in which real-ity is socially con stru cted because it is the means by which value is c on-f err ed by the sovereign and accepted by the group. It creates, de stro ys, andalters norm s throu gh the m aint en anc e and revision of the social status quo.Inst anc es of h onor ing may be lim ited in tim e, space, and content, but anindividual's h onor is constantly under revision and interpretation. As honoris the real manifest ation of social value for individuals and group s, it isonly avoided either throu gh revision of the value system or by a politi-cal contestation with the group." Th e desi gnati on of actions as "good" or"excelle nt" doesn't alter the characteristics or actions themselves, merelythe value a ttac hed to said c harac teristics and actions. Because of this, it isaccurate to state that h onor is a timeless and universal phenomenon thatr epr esents the axiological tot al social fact. 6 Honor: A Phen om enologyThe primary goal of this project is to provide a conceptual precisionthat is currently lacking in the literature. Th erefore, this study will definethe concepts of honor based upon the distinct relational processes. I beginwith a procedural division between processes of social intercourse betweenindividuals and groups (exte rna l honor) and those that occur within anindividual's psyche (internal h onor ). Rather than getting bogged down byusing the w ord "h ono r" and a descriptive modifier, I use key terms that aremostly concepts that functionally relate to one an oth er and have alr eadybeen examined within the lite ratu re. Th e following are core concepts thatf orm external honor:1. Prestige is the process of h onor by which an individual part y gainssocial value for qualities, characteristics, and actions that are deemedexcellent and are valued as "good" by a group to which h or sheaffiliates or of which he or she is a member. Prestige increases an indi-vidual's hierarchical position vis-a-vis oth ers in a group.2. Sha me is the counterpart to prestige and is the process by which anindividual p art y gains social value for qualities, characteristics, andactions that are deemed excellent, but are valued as "bad" by thegroup. Shame decreases an individual's hier ar chical position vis-a-visothers in a group.3. Face is the process of honor by which an individual part y maintainshis or her position as an honor-peer in a particular honor-gr oup .Face is the h onor process that exists between social equals and isexceptionally fragile. M att ers of face concern access to valued socialidentities. Saving face refers to a p art y resisting either the loss of aparticular identity or a lower, or less valued, position within a peergroup, effectively nullifying peer status.4. Esteem is a process of honor by which an individual (or group) isgiven social value by an individual or group for excelling in an honor-system, even though it is not a system that both p art ies share. Neitherpart y need accept the value system or obey the h onor code of theother. Esteem merely recognizes that an Other is considered sociallyvaluable and has attained honor within a known, though foreign,honor-system.5. Affiliated Honor is the circuitous process by which an individualmember and his or her group gain social value from their mutu alassociation. Membership in a group is an identity that acc ord s honorto the individual based upon the value of the group's reputation. Con -cordantly, the value of a group's reputation is based upon the aggre-gate value of its members and their average contribution. Derivingsocial value throu gh affiliated h onor is a double-edged sword; a part ymay gain prestige and distinction from membership, but can also bedishonored or shamed. Introduction 76. Glory is the combination of fame and honor. Thi s process of honorechoes across time and space. Glory possesses a sacred quality andelevates a societal exemplar to become a tr an scendent exemplar p arexcellence of a particular quality or action. Glory m anif ests itself inmyths and legends.Honor is also internal, it includes people's self-reflective evaluation not onlyabo ut where they does stand, but where they should stand based upon howthey value Others in their life-world. Th ere are two primary internal pro-cesses of honor:1. Honorableness is the process whereby an individual in corporat eshonor as a valued quality of his or her self. It has depth that increasesas the individual's feeling of a tta chment increases. Th e honorablenessof an individual ranges from the nonexistent to the absolute. Honor-ableness measures the depth of people's commitment to how they aresocially valued.2. Dignity is the process whereby people inscribe themselves with socialvalue. They do so by establishing a personal honor code that, forthem, is absolutely binding and non-negotiable, to which they are theexemplar par excellence. Personal dignity is a direct challenge to theauthority of exte rna l valuation.The tension between exte rna l and internal processes of honor provides thedynamic between anarchy and world order. Continuity and change in socialinstitutions and political leadership are functions of honor. Rebels emergeto challenge value systems when they feel inadequately valued. Revolution-aries emerge to challenge status-quo leadership for dominion over value.THE ORIGINS OF HONORTheorists through out the social sciences have engaged with h ono r or some-thing akin to honor for thous and s of years. Greek virt ues including aidosand arete begin an examination into what and who is to be valued socially,for what reasons, and in w hat way. Virtues represent what moral philoso-phersdetermine that individuals "ought" to achievetow ard "the good" withregard to sociation.?It is the philosophical projection of value systems.Aristotle examined honor vis-a-vis virt ue in trying to define the "chiefgood":The refined and active again conceive it to be honour: for this may besaid to be the end of the life in society: yet it is plainly too superficial forthe object of our search, because it is thought to rest with those who pay 8 Honor: A Phenomenologyrather than with him who receives it, whereas the Chief Good we feelinstinctively must be something which is our own, and not easily to betak en f rom us. And besides, men seem to pur sue honour, that they may"[Sidenote: 1096a] believe themselves to be good: for instance, they seekto be hon our ed by the wise, and by tho se among whom they are kno wn,and for virtue: clearly then, in the opinion at least of these men, virtue ishigher than honour. In truth , one w ould be much more inclined to th inkthis to be the end of the life in society; yet this itself is plainly not suf-ficiently final: for it is conceived possible, that a man possessed of virtuemi ght sleep or be inactive all throu gh his life, or, as a third case, sufferthe greatest evils and misfor tun es: and the man who should live thus noone would call h app y, except f or mere disputation's sake."According to Aristotle, honor is many things. It must be active and it issomething that is given to men, me anin g that they do n ot possess it in andof themselves and that it is merely a virtu e and a good, th ough not virtuewrit large and the good. It is also "the motive from which the Brave manwithstands thin gs fearful and p erf orm s the acts which accord with Cour-age."? Hon or encompassed the golden mean b etw een pride and humility,and am bition and unambitiousness.Honor develops conc eptu ally af ter Aristotle. Throu gh out hum an his-tory, philosophers, politicians, and interest groups have att empted tomonopolize the me ani ng of honor based upon the norms they wished toinstitutionalize and the excellences they sought to p romot e. Th e strugg lefor defining what is h onor able and to be honored has dis tort ed scholarlyund erstanding of honor as a social process that can be examined devoid ofn orm ative ascription or ideological p romoti on. H onor infers so much thatit means little; the value placed upon the word is too m urk y to prom oted epth in understa ndin g.!" Thus begins the pro blem of honor in the socialsciences that the current discourse has sought to remedy.MODERN FOUNDATIONS OF HONORTh e recent engagement with honor as an important field of study acrossthe social sciences is almost invariably traced to anthropol ogy and theedited w or ks of Peristiany and Pitt-Rivers. Th eir collected works in culturalant hro pology established themselves as the foremost experts on honor fol-lowing the publication of the collected works Honor and Shame: Values ofthe Mediterranean and Honorand Grace in An thropology. Th eir influenceon ant hro pological studies of honor in the Mediterranean shaped studiesof honor via field examinations that sought to articulate p arti cular honor-systems in p arti cul ar hon or- group s. Th e anthropological wave of h onorstudies may be traced to the 1960s, but it does not m ark the origin of inves-tigation into the general concept of honor. Introduction 9This wor k tra ces the origin of the current examination of honor notto Peristiany, but furth er back, to Ha ns Speier. Speier is not tr aditionallyaccorded inclusion within conceptual studies of honor , but I believe hisexclusion is to the d etrim ent of academic investigations of honor. In aneffort to argue for this inclusion of his theories as f oundat ional to studies ofhonor, I give his w ork greater attention.Speier's collection of essays c ombin es to form a th orou gh and convincingargument regarding honor as a f orm of political tool for social planning."Speier's interpre tatio n of honor as a tool of social co ntro l reinforces Fou-caultian biopower. Speier asse rts that social pl annin g is "co ncerned withhum an actions, i.e., with something distinctly complex in motivation andconsequence and general in scope.t'< It has an objective which is political invalue ." Speier comb ines the social plan with material reality and individualability to f orm a holistic system on which plans depend.

Happy holidays, Tree fans — it's the Dollarista again!

From elegant dinnerware and party décor to stocking stuffers and sweet treats, Dollar Tree has all of the Christmas bases covered. My kids love the toy selection at Dollar Tree, so I always make sure to pick up some of their favorite toys and games to put in their stockings. Dollar Tree also offers tons of craft supplies, which keeps the kids entertained while I'm busy cooking in the kitchen or decorating the house. Trust me, you'll love the savings under their Tree because everything in this jinglebook is just $1 or less!
Season's greetings! Here are just a few of my holiday favorites:
Don't get your tinsel in a tangle because everything, even the décor, is just $1 or less. You better believe that means my walls, halls, stairways, and mantel will be transformed into a tinsel town!
I love to display special moments from the year for my family and friends to see. Dollar Tree's frames allow me to not only frame my favorite photos, but they also make great Christmas gifts. Using $1 craft supplies, you can transform a basic frame into season décor. Just add garland, ribbon, or a few festive floral stems and voila!
I'm a sucker when it comes to Christmas ornaments, therefore I put up a tree in every room so that each ornament can be on display! Plus, each tree has its own unique theme, which is perfect because Dollar Tree has a broad selection of ornaments to match every style. For example, my traditional red and green tree goes in my main living room – that's where Santa leaves our presents. In my dining room, I opt for the fancier look with silver and gold. This makes all of our holiday meals feel classy, yet still cozy and festive!
Gifts can be so expensive, especially when I've got a long list of items to get. However, Dollar Tree makes it possible for me to get something for everyone on my list.

Through Thanksgiving, Russian-Americans reach America. Source: Getty Images / Fotobank
For many Russians who have emigrated to the United States, Thanksgiving is their favorite American holiday – a window to a culture that is now theirs.
Lara Vapnyar, an acclaimed writer and frequent contributor to The New Yorker, has a deep appreciation of traditional American food. Her experiences of cooking and eating found their way into her 2008 short story collection, "Broccoli and Other Tales of Food and Love."
"I love cooking simple American food, corn, green beans, cranberry sauce, because for me it's exotic and not simple at all," Vapnyar told RBTH, but her early Thanksgivings in the country were anything but simple.

"When we first came to the U.S., I read what you're supposed to eat on Thanksgiving. One of the most important items was yams. I bought a can of yams. But when we opened the can, we saw that these were carrots," Vapnyar, who came to the U.S. from Russia in the early 1990s, recalled.
"We heard so many stories about how recent immigrants are constantly duped. We wanted to go back to the store and speak to the manager. But first we decided to to ask our neighbors what to do. They looked at the can, tasted a few pieces and said: 'Are you crazy? These are yams.'"
Margarita Litvak, a 20-something resident in obstetrics and gynecology in the Washington, D.C. area, also has fond and appreciative memories of her eclectic émigré Thanksgivings. Her father and mother settled in Washington in the late 1980s, when she was four.
"I had always wanted to be "American" in school as a kid," she recalled. "I was fascinated by my friends' PB&J's, and ham and cheese sandwiches in elementary school, just as they were intrigued by my grandmother's rice pilaf or katletki - a food that I can only describe as meatloaf and meatballs' delicious love child."
For Litvak, Thanksgiving magnified her desire to be a typical American kid and eat typical American food.
"I always insisted my family be 'traditional,'" she recalled. "I would cajole my mother to make stuffing and a pumpkin pie. She made a mean turkey, but she could never quite understand the purpose or necessity of the stuffing. So every year, I would buy a pre-made 'add-water and fluff with a fork' stuffing in a bag and a 'follow instructions on the can' pumpkin pie. Both are delicious. Our turkey is routinely preceded by a vast array of Russian sides: smoked salmon...herring, olivye, beets in one form or another. Finally, our food was accompanied by a ton of wine and usually something stronger. Everyone would leave our table stuffed, a tad drunk, and sleepily happy."
Mark Kelner: "When celebrating with my
grandparents, they put out glassware adorned with red, white, and blue." Source: Press Photo
Litvak is a bit melancholy this year, as she will be delivering babies during the night shift on Thanksgiving weekend.
For Mark Kelner's family, Thanksgiving was always "a big thing." Coming from a Russian immigrant background, "we've a lot to be grateful for," he said. Kelner, who is a writer and curator living in Washington, D.C., married Margarita Litvak in 2013.
For the Kelners, the holiday "was an excuse to cook American food, which was not usually on the dinner menu for other special family holidays and even during the year, especially in the early days. (I still remember red caviar on bread that my dad packed in a brown bag lunch that I'd take to school). "
Black Friday, still lost in translation
A common thread for Russian-Americans who shared their Thanksgiving memories is a general bewilderment over Black Friday, the biggest sales day of the year in the U.S. "Black Friday is the day when you DON'T go to a store," said Vapnyar. "It's really unpleasant there. We usually go to the movies. It's crowded too, but at least nobody gets killed."
Olga Tymshan, 33, a student in filmmaking at the New York Film Academy, said she has so far only celebrated Thanksgiving once, in 2012, "because I got an invitation from my American friend who organized a big family dinner." And she finds Black Friday particularly puzzling.
Tymshan said she tries to stay at home and avoid "mass madness over artificial sales in the U.S. that you can find at any other time of the year. What's sad for me is that some of my friends are really ready to get up at 5 a.m., drive to God knows where, to be stuck in traffic, get exhausted during the day, and come back with an ordinary number of shopping bags. But maybe it is part of the American fun for them?"
Actor Irina Koval, who is well known in the D.C. area for her roles in Synetic theater productions, said that she never liked Black Friday either. But, she said, this is mainly because her husband works in broadcast television and often had to get up at 3 a.m. to cover the sales and general mayhem of the event for Russian TV.
Mark Kelner's parents adopted a patriotic attitude toward Thanksgiving. "Little American flags are often placed on our table," Kelner said.
"When celebrating with my grandparents, they put out glassware adorned with red, white, and blue. Important above all, however, are the toasts – and there are many. The most unusual one is often given by my mom somewhere in the middle of meal. After sharing the pleasantries of health, togetherness, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, she has a traditional toast given in honor of… Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev! "
As General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, it was he, "acting as an unlikely Moses," who gave permission for thousands of Soviet Jews, the right to leave and start new lives in America.
"And in 1973, the timing couldn't have been better. My mother left the U.S.S.R. pregnant and I was born here in the U.S.A. Me and Bruce Springsteen. Thanksgiving is our favorite and most personal holiday. It means everything."

My skin is always drier during the ber months. I usually switch to a non-drying facial cleanser around this time.
This year, I tried out Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream (P650 for 170g, pictured above). I was attracted to the fact that it's cream-based because that usually means it's rich and not drying. The fact that it's 100% Natural is an added bonus.
One thing I love about Burt's Bees facial cleansers is they're sealed for your protection! You know that the product you're getting is brand spanking new and completely hygienic.
As expected, the cleanser has a consistency that's pure cream. It's almost like moisturizing cream instead of a facial cleanser.
According to the directions, you're supposed to wet your face and then apply the cleanser with your fingertips or a wet washcloth avoiding the eye area. I prefer using my fingers to wash my face because washcloths and sponges can be abrasive. At my age, I can't afford to mistreat my face in any way, lol! After cleansing, you rinse your face thoroughly. I was surprised at the cooling sensation I felt while cleansing my face! There are no suds and bubbles since it's a cream cleanser.
I love Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream! After rinsing off my face felt super clean, fresh, and soft but not dry! This is easily one of the best facial cleansers I've tried. 😀
What I like about Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream:
- It's non-drying and yet it leaves the skin feeling super clean and fresh! I love how soft and smooth my face is after washing with this.
- I use this early in the morning and it helps wake me up! The cooling sensation and the light fresh scent definitely stirs the senses.
- Despite its creamy consistency, it's very easy to rinse off and it leaves no greasy feeling.
- It's 100% natural — made of soap bark derived from a Chilean tree called Quillaja Saponaria. As the name suggests, soap bark is a natural soap and cleanser. It also has chamomile and aloe to soothe and soften the skin plus a hint of menthol for that cooling effect.
- You know how guys hate cream-based soaps and cleansers because they want to feel squeaky clean? My hubby LOVED this. It's probably because of the minty sensation, lol!
Downside? It's pricier compared to the usual cleanser but it's not THAT expensive. It's worth it and I will definitely repurchase!
Skincare is super important to me and it all begins with cleansing. That said, I'm picky with what I use to clean my face. I don't exaggerate when I say I've tried at least 50 kinds of facial cleansers over the years and well, this is really one of the best.
Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream is available at P650 per 170g tube at all Beauty Bar outlets nationwide. You can also buy online at http://shop.beautybar.com.ph or go straight to the Burt's Bees Philippines online store at https://www.burtsbees.com.ph where they're currently offering FREE shipping to purchases worth P1,500 and above.

Women's basketball: Boyette leads UT to rout of Canisius
AUSTIN - Imani Boyette had 15 points and 10 rebounds to help No. 5 Texas beat Canisius 92-62 on Wednesday night.
The 6-7 Boyette was 7-of-9 from the field. Lashann Higgs and Brooke McCarty added 14 points apiece for the Longhorns (9-0), and McCarty had assists.
Tiahana Mills led Canisius (6-3) with 13 points.
The Longhorns took advantage or their size inside and accurate 3-point shooting. They made eight 3-pointers, an area of improvement this season, including four by McCarty.
UT coach Karen Aston said time spent in the gym has produced better accuracy and more confidence, but she offered another explanation as well.
"Some of it's been me letting go of the reins a little bit," Aston said. "We've got to take them to make them. I think it's opened up our offense a little more."
Lili Thompson scored 19 points, Erica McCall had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and the No. 15 Cardinal held off the No. 16 Lady Vols.
Kaylee Johnson added 10 points to help Stanford (7-2) beat Tennessee (7-3) for the fifth staight time at home. Diamond DeShields and Jaime Nared each scored 12 for Tennessee.
The Bobcats broke free from a 62-all tie by hitting nine of 10 free throws in the final 1:35 to win at Sharp Gym.
Adriana Jackson had 16 points to lead HBU.

CELEB BUZZ: In defence of the legendary DJ Pinye
Wednesday March 18 2020
As a young man who is trying to do great things, I have cosmic respect for every human who has already managed to do great things in their lifetime.
I usually feel offended when the credibility of a legend is questioned over petty issues. And that's exactly how I feel about the recent DJ Pinye drama.
DJ Pinye became the target of endless outrage that was baseless after he revealed that he never used to play music by certain artistes.
One of the artistes he mentioned was Khaligraph. The other was DNA. He also slammed the youthful group Ethic who are known for their salacious lyrics. In conclusion, he said that deejays shouldn't feel compelled to incorporate mediocre music in their sets just in the name of promoting local talent.
The turn-table ace made these volatile comments during an interview at NRG Radio.
The point that was missed by many was that his reason for not playing certain artistes wasn't because their music alone was unsatisfactory. It was mostly because their videos were bad.
Pinye has mixed in clubs and events but he is mainly known for being a TV deejay behind the popular show The Beat. You can thus understand why the quality of a video is salient to him.
Khaligraph has been guilty of releasing poorly done videos for a very long time. It's not hard to see why Pinye didn't play his music. Up to today, Khaligraph still doesn't put proper work into his videos as he does to his panache-rich bars. His visuals are a hodgepodge of smoke, weird facial expressions designed to make him look like a tough guy, distracting quandaries and paper-thin plots. This is probably the reason why despite his immense talent, he is yet to properly penetrate the international market.
However, Khaligraph took Pinye's sentiments with bile rather than with thoughtfulness. He threatened the veteran deejay, telling him that he could have dropped a diss track but he has decided to spare him.
Growing up in my teenage years, The Beat was one of those shows that I always looked up to on TV. 5 pm would find me on the couch waiting to see some of the hottest videos. On that show, the bald deejay put boundless effort into mining the most gratifying musical productions from the bland rubble of local music before serving them to us. And while doing that, he catapulted many Kenyan talents to greater heights. Ignoring the great role he played is simply being unreasonable.
Some say he destroyed talents. How? Was he ever appointed as the maker and destroyer of talents? Did he go to every radio station or DJ and told them not to play certain artistes? Every industry is huge. When one person doesn't like what you do, you can always find someone who does. Blaming one person for your failure or lack of progress is a sign of weakness.
If you are an artiste whose music was never played by Pinye, what's the issue? You cannot expect to be liked be everyone, no one should expect you to like everyone either. I have people that I don't like and so do you. I am pretty sure that other top deejays like Joe Mfalme, Crème and Mo have artistes that they don't like too.
In an effort to join the Pinye condemnation that was already full of logical gaps, DNA ended up releasing the worst diss track of all time. He called it 'Kapinye', perhaps in an effort to belittle the deejay. Instead, he ended up spoiling his own reputation.
I understand that he saw this as an opportunity to revive his dying career but good Lord, he really made a mess of it. Even those riding on the Pinye-roasting juggernaut agreed that DNA did a poor job at putting the veteran deejay in his place.
Pinye never even said that he hated DNA. He just said that he didn't like the first "Banjuka" video and so he didn't play it. When DNA did a second, better "Banjuka" video, Pinye played it. So what was the diss track for? It's like someone telling you to tie your shoe laces but instead of doing that, you get angry and punch them.
A word of advice to other artistes: if you don't do Hip Hop, don't release a diss track. Imagine how awkward it would sound if someone like Bruno Mars released a diss track? Tragic! That's how this DNA diss track felt like.
Let's be quick to understand instead of just being quick to react and attack. Let's remedy ourselves of the Mass Trolling Syndrome that's ailing us. Let's give legends the respect they deserve. Most importantly, let's understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion and tastes. You can't force me to like matumbo instead of kuku and neither can you force Pinye to like Ethic instead of Sauti Sol.

We demonstrate an asymmetric dual-loop feedback method to suppress external cavity side-modes induced in self-mode-locked quantum-dash lasers with conventional single- and dual-loop feedback. In this Letter, we report optimal suppression of spurious tones by optimizing the delay in the second loop. We observed that asymmetric dual-loop feedback, with large () disparity in loop lengths, gives significant suppression in external-cavity side-modes and produces flat radio frequency (RF) spectra close to the main peak with a low timing jitter, compared to single-loop feedback. Significant reduction in RF linewidth and timing jitter was produced by optimizing the delay time in the second feedback loop. Experimental results based on this feedback configuration validate predictions of recently published numerical simulations. This asymmetric dual-loop feedback scheme provides simple, efficient, and cost-effective stabilization of optoelectronic oscillators based on mode-locked lasers.

The historical canvas "Defense of Sevastopol" A. A. Deineka created in the war years (Moscow, 1942). Today, this masterpiece of art is kept in the St. Petersburg Russian Museum.
The artist's photos of the ruins of Sevastopol became the subsoil for painting. Deineka has been collecting materials about the hero city for a long time, making many sketches and sketches, carrying his idea of showing tragic events to the viewer.
In fact, Deineka was the author of a monumental epic work of art, which summarizes the heroic image of the Great Patriotic War. On the canvas, he captured the heroism of the Marine Corps, a soldier who had given their lives while defending Sevastopol.
On the embankment sharpens hard battle. The sailors of the Soviet army cut the path of the enemy troops. The background shows buildings collapsing, everything is ablaze with fire. To the fore, the author displays a wounded sailor. In his hands – a bunch of grenades. Standing in full growth, the sailor is trying to throw her. The muscles of the face tightened, the soldier spread his legs wide and pulled his arms to the sides. Such a firm position testifies to the selflessness of a warrior. He is ready for battle, even his intense breathing is felt.
To achieve the veracity of the image, the artist shifted the figure of the sailor slightly to the left. Thus it seems that the grenades are about to fly past the remaining space. A masterful painter also approached the image of the oncoming German troops. Here he used a kind of compositional technique, showing only protruding rifles. The superdynamics of the picture give people in motion in the background.
As for the color of the picture, it is built on the contrast – the red sky and the white form of the sailors.
There is no time limit in the picture. Considering it, the viewer unwittingly becomes a participant in what is happening.

Transform Your Risk Culture
Simple Steps for Moving Beyond Compliance
The notion of "risk culture" has been getting increased attention in numerous arenas. Seventy percent of the respondents to Deloitte's most recent "Global Risk Management Survey" say that a priority in 2018 is "establishing and embedding the risk culture across the enterprise." While the survey's focus is on financial institutions, its findings link to operational risks related to industrial hygiene and environmental health and safety. Such a link is also found in "Executive Perspectives on Top Risks 2018: Key Issues Being Discussed in the Boardroom and C-Suite," a survey conducted by North Carolina State's Pool College of Management. A good risk culture should reflect organizational values, clarify the organization's risk tolerance, and incorporate the ability to quickly anticipate, identify, and respond to emerging risks. Increasingly, a poor understanding of risk culture is itself considered an unacceptable risk.
Few topics have a higher profile and are more central in organizations than those involving risk.

So, how well do you know your risk culture? Is it something you think about, or even attempt to characterize? And if you do, does it need an upgrade or transformation? Increased attention to risk beyond occupational exposure limits is relevant to industrial hygiene and environmental health and safety professionals given their importance to organizational resilience and sustainability. Consider how IH/EHS fits into an organization's larger risk-related thinking, and how this thinking steers resources toward risk aversion, risk tolerance, or trust in regulatory compliance. Also consider how a regulatory compliance orientation has influenced the evolution of IH/EHS methods and practices from its earliest days, and how it has impacted mental models and ways of thinking about risk. Surveys such as Deloitte's and NC State's suggest that a regulatory and compliance orientation permeates a culture and can create blind spots, resulting in a negative impact on numerous performance indicators. Just as there are risks associated with a passive approach to risk culture and a narrow view of it, there are fruits to harvest by understanding and transforming it. The following steps, gleaned from our experiences and from an AIHA webinar on risk culture held in September 2017, can help transform a risk culture. RETHINK WHAT'S DRIVING RISK MANAGEMENT Government regulations impact the way organizations define and manage risk. This isn't bad per se, but it has affected organizational cultures in general and their ability to manage risk in particular. Understanding what's driving risk management is an important first step in making the risk culture stronger. Is regulatory compliance the main driver? Or are the organization's core values driving risk culture? To determine what's driving risk culture, IH/EHS professionals must look beyond our field's common definition of risk as "the severity of impact of an adverse event, and the probability or likelihood of that event occurring." ISO standards define risk as "the effect of uncertainty on objectives," a broader perspective that leads to a stronger risk culture. We have seen several companies, including an innovative pharmaceutical company, create a strong risk culture by anchoring risk-related activities around their core values, mission, and purpose, rather than regulatory compliance or objectives. INCREASE RISK AWARENESS Leaders often want their work force to have a high degree of risk awareness—that is, the ability to consistently identify hazards and assess risk, and to respond quickly and appropriately when needed. It is from this awareness that IH/EHS professionals anticipate, recognize, evaluate, and control (AREC) hazards and mitigate risks. Awareness of operations, processes, and systems is fundamental to what we do in the IH/EHS field. Increased complexity in the risks we confront, which encompass much more than exposures and traditional safety issues, requires wider risk awareness. To transform a risk culture, we must understand how much risk awareness is present, individually and collectively. We can do this by first asking, "What are we aware of, and is this sufficient?" at a basic level of operations and processes, and then more broadly at the level of supply chains and mental models. To increase risk awareness, consider AAREC, where the additional A refers to awareness. EXPAND YOUR RISK VOCABULARY We all know words matter. The way we speak, and the words we use to convey our ideas, are central to communication. As Charles Handy, a leading business futurist, wrote in Harvard Business Review, "We are unconscious prisoners of our language. While most of the time this constraint matters little, at times of momentous change in culture or society, our use of old words to describe new things can hide the emerging future from our eyes." In a similar vein, Einstein said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."
In 2017, the AIHA Board of Directors changed the Risk Assessment Committee's name to Risk Committee. The committee's mission also changed to include not only the technical "assessment" but also characterization (context and perception), communication, benefit/cost (reward/risk) analysis, and management. These changes stemmed from recognition of the increased bundle of risk-related challenges and questions being put to IH/EHS professionals. Examples of new words and ideas that have impact in IH/EHS include sustainability, corporate citizenship, and social responsibility, as well as transparency and license to operate. The innovative pharmaceutical company mentioned earlier adopted new risk-related terms such as brand protection, community involvement, small footprint, zero waste, and rapid response time. To expand the risk vocabulary in your organization, consider whether any of these words resonate across the work force. SUSTAIN THE TRANSFORMATION After your organization has transformed its risk culture, management systems can help make sure the changes stick. Whether augmenting an existing system (such as ISO 14001 or OHSAS 18001), developing a new one, or starting from scratch, consider integrating the ideas put forth in this article. For example, with ISO's new occupational health and safety management system (ISO 45001), key points can be integrated as follows:
- Defining risk: address in Section 5, leadership and worker participation; and Section 6, planning.
- Anchoring risk-related activities to core values: address in Section 4.1, understanding the organization and its context; Section 5.2, OH&S policy; Section 6.1.2, hazard identification and assessment of risk and opportunities; and Section 9.3, management review.
- Increasing risk awareness: address in Section 7.3, awareness.
- Expanding vocabulary: address in Section 7.4, communication.
Few topics have a higher profile and are more central in organizations than those involving risk. Increased attention on characterizing and transforming risk culture impacts individual areas such as IH/EHS as well as the organization's larger culture. IH/EHS professionals are expert in many risk domains and can provide leadership in transforming risk cultures. Consider rolling up your sleeves, digging into your organization's risk culture, and looking at ways you can provide leadership in its transformation

Hmmm....Alberto, Prefontaine, Bowerman? Are we supposed to know those names? They sound so familiar but I can't put my finger on it.... :-p
Oh that's right--they're all from Oregon, as all great runners are (I can say this because I'm actually from Virginia). Y'all from Utah (or PA) wouldn't have heard of those guys. ;-)

Lastmindeals necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 204 design presentati da 66 designer.
Novo Spa
Massage & Pain Relief Therapy
We are a family owned relaxation and healing spa with a specialist that has deep understanding of the human body and functions and has 15+years of experience. If clients came in for pain relief, at the end of a session they will feel their pain going away mostly if not completely. Our goal is to provide relaxation and rejuvenation for customers. Novo in our logo means revive in Latin. We will cater to middle class male and female clients evenly.
We cater to 2 types of customers. One would be the ones who go there for pain relief therapy like office workers who work too long hours sitting on the computer with bad posture, law enforcement officers who have to be on patrol all the time, teachers who stand all day, etc. Another type would be people who go there for leisure and just want to relax or those who want to be in a calming environment to relieve stress.
I don't want it as colorful as the chosen example logo's. I do want something that is simple and luxurious and that has our customer base in mind. Also this logo will be outside on a big sign facing cars that will be going 30mph(50kmh) or so, so I would like for it to stick out a bit more to oncoming traffic. The massage & pain relief therapy slogan part doesn't necessarily have to be added if you do not feel it "fits" the design. I look forward to your entries everyone, let the contest begin!

Royal Enfield Unveils Concept KX At EICMA 2018
Modified On Mar 20, 2019 By Gaurav Sadanand
The bike draws inspiration from the 1938 RE KX, one of the most powerful bikes of its time
- The RE Concept KX gets LED lights at the front and back, a digital instrument console and a dual exhaust setup
- Suspension bits comprises of girder-type front forks and a monoshock at the rear
- The bike runs an 838cc air- and oil-cooled V-twin motor unlike the 1140cc V-twin seen on the RE KX
- While the bike won't make it to production, it gives us an idea of what's to come from RE in the near future
This might come as a surprise to most but what if we told you that Royal Enfield actually made some pretty powerful V-twins back in the 30's. Though the manufacturer employs single-cylinder engines on most of its motorcycles today, its future plans of the J, P, Q, K platforms hints at bigger, badder bikes. And staying true to its plans, the Chennai-based manufacturer has unveiled its stunning new 838cc V-twin concept at EICMA 2018.
What the Concept KX essentially is, is a modern take on the original RE KX from 1938. Hinting at what's in store for RE's future, the concept employs an 838cc, V-twin motor that gets air and oil cooling. The design comprises of an LED headlamp which has fork extensions that cover a front girder-type suspension. It gets a slender tank with a single, tan floating seat. The bike also features twin-stacked exhaust cans that sit to the right and adds visual weight at the rear, balancing its overall proportions. Then there's the digital instrument console, a first for Royal Enfield.
Its split-cradle frame uses the engine as a stressed member. For suspension duties, the bike employs unconventional girder-type forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear placed right below the seat. Twin discs upfront paired with Bybre calipers and a single disc brake at the rear anchor the bike. The body-coloured alloys wheels come wrapped in Maxxis tyres.
While Royal Enfield has no plans of bringing this bike into production, it gives us a glimpse of what the future holds for the company. Presently though, the bikemaker is focussing its resources on the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650, which are due to be launched in India on 14th November 2018. Both the bikes come with 3-year warranty and are expected to be priced under Rs 3 lakhs.

Everything you need to know about being a good friend you can learn from Leslie Knope. And she'd be the first to tell you that the biggest compliments are the best compliments. Celebrate your big feelings for your BFF with this Leslie Knope best friends Galentines Day mug set.
Enamel Co. Enamel Mugs:
Our enamelware camping mugs are made from a thick enamel-coated steel. They are heavy (for enamelware mugs-- still lighter than ceramic), smooth, wonderful to drink from, and crazy sturdy. You can abuse the heck out of them.
Each mug is individually printed in our Tacoma, Washington studio. Mugs may have small flaws and variations in the enamel coating which are intended to add to individual character and vintage patina of your mug. Be prepared for some small imperfections.
Toss these into a bag to take on a picnic, or take camping and abuse liberally. They're good for sneaky cups of wine or whiskey wherever you happen to be.
These are steel under enamel. So please don't use them in the microwave unless you want to create a localized lightning storm in your kitchen and pretend you're Harry Potter. Or Voldemort.
They are dishwasher safe and won't fade... though keep in mind that metal does rust, so any chips in the enamel will allow the steel underneath to rust if you put it in the dishwasher. But in general... dishwashing should be fine.

Taunton Athletic Club and Running Forever Running Club athlete Hannah Taunton was making waves at the British Milers Club Grand Prix event in London at the weekend.
She ran a personal best time, which saw her confirmed as the third fastest runner in the world this year over 1500m in the T20 Paralympic category.
Taunton is continuing to work hard on improving her time, to increase her chances of being selected for Great Britain in an international event.
Last month saw her travel to Italy to train with the Paralympic Futures Academy.
IT was a fast and furious weekend of racing for Running Forever members with some great results in local races.
In the Pawlett Plod 10k, Joanne Carritt absolutely smashed it, managing sixth place and first female in 41.14.
Ali Bisatt was not far behind in 41.39, Ben Timpson came in at 42.23 and Gavin Clegg crossed the line in 46.48.
Sally Tuer was first in her age category in 54.25 and Brian Brown in 1.06.20.
There were also some great times at the Buckland Bolt.
Chris Brown achieved second in a time of 41.40, Andrew Saunders completed the course in 49.25, Peta Aspden crossed the line in 1.09.20, Brian Brown and Peter Stretton managed 1.11, with Janette Blair hot on their heels at 1.18, and, finally, Pat Pike was home in 1.25.
Sarah Whiteman travelled to Worcester to compete in the Droitwich Triathlon, a 400m swim, followed by 20k on the bike and a 5k run.
She finished in the impressive time of 1.22.33.
Venturing to the picturesque Ham Hill, Jamie Hill, Ali Wasey, Kristi and Duncan took on the Run From The Romans event organised by Flying Fox Running.
In total, Running Forever had 27 athletes at Longrun Meadow Parkrun.
Several travelled further afield, completing the courses at Minehead, Killerton, Delamere, Penrose, Rogiet, Farfalle and St Mary's.
Taunton AC members have been busy in the summer sun, heading for the countryside over the weekend.
Six runners took on the cross-country Montacute Parkrun, in sight of the Elizabethan mansion.
Emma Kiernan finished first lady home, and she was joined at the event by Mark Bysouth, Jon Gilling, Sharron Kington, Suzi Griffiths and Keith Paul.
Over at the Haytor Heller six-miler, Lesley and Richard Westgate took on the rugged terrain, with Lesley finishing in 1.12.32, followed by Richard in 1.14.41.
Carl Ward finished eighth and first V55 home on the Hilly Dalwood 10, while Nick Williams (42.49) and Ellie Steer (46.35) enjoyed the Norwick 10k.
Four members travelled to Exeter for the midweek 10k, with Andy Staples completing in 39.37, Emma Kiernan 39.42, Neil Smith 41.59 and Nick Daniels 40.14.
A strong Hydro Harriers' Longrun Meadow Parkrun turnout last Saturday saw Tom Mellor home in 18min 45sec and sixth out of 345 athletes.
