À contre-courant de l'apocalypse
Albert Camus: "Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as gently as doves. Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we shall hear amid the uproar of empires and nations, a faint flutter of wings, a gentle stirring of life and hope. Some will say that this hope lies in a nation; others, in a man. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the crudest implication of history. As a result, there shines forth fleetingly the ever-threatened truth that each and every man, on the foundation of his own sufferings and joys, builds for all."

We have a saying back home that "There's nowt stranger than folk!" That saying pre dates the internet of course.
Since the internet arrived, we have found out that some folk are way stranger than we had imagined in our wildest dreams.
I'm reminded of the scene in Pretty Woman with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. Edward (the wealthy businessman) says rather condescendingly that "very few people surprise me" to which Vivienne (the newbie prostitute) replies, "you're lucky, 'cos most of them shock the hell out of me."
So, getting back to people and their fetishes, there are a bunch of men who fantasise about seeing their wives taking it from a well-endowed black man. These people are known as cuckolds or "cucks."
This isn't the kind of thing you would drop into polite conversation with the vicar of course.
Well, the Alt-Right being what they are, picked up on this and began referring to the pro-multiculturalists as "Cucks." Typical "wet" Conservatives, who are all for open borders providing the new African or Muslim citizens respect the rule of law, are referred to as "Cuckservatives."
When I was young and irreverent, most of my piers were of the anti-establishment Left wing. Today, the Left are such a bunch of joyless, puritanical killjoys and the humorous ones now are the anti-establishment Right wing.
It cheers me up no end to see a younger generation coming through who have been red pilled and are fully engaged with reality.
The Unshackled is a group based in Melbourne who are putting out information and helping to red pill a whole new generation.
The following is their latest offering which is posted here with kind permission. They call it "The Uncuckables."
Sorry, we have been advised to remove this content by the Unshackled team due some speculation which could have created problems. Check their website for further episodes – Harry
A bit long but if you have time, feel free to make a cuppa, turn on the volume and enjoy.

Lightning McQueen books
Category 1: Parent or grandparent of a boy between the ages of 2-5. Your first thoughts were probably along the lines of: "there are BOOKS about Lightning McQueen? Really? Where can I get them? Is rush shipping available?"
Category 2: Everyone else. You probably asked yourself: "who is Lightning McQueen?"
For those of you who fall into the first category, yes, there are books about Lightning McQueen. See the specifics below. And for those of you in the second category, he's the main character in the Pixar movie Cars. Here's a picture of him:
I've done some informal observation and have found that just about every little boy I've met is obsessed with this movie. I think it's for two reasons. One, it's about cars. (I guess that's rather obvious from the title). Two, it doesn't have any scary parts. (If you think that's also obvious because it's a movie for kids, then you probably haven't watched a lot of kids' movies lately. Almost all of them have inexplicably scary parts).
Please keep in mind that I'm recommending the books below only for Cars-crazed kids. I'm not endorsing them as good literature, but here are some resources if you're looking for them. I usually hate this kind of commercial stuff, but I also recognize that sometimes a kid just wants to read about something they're interested in. And, the important thing is that they're reading.
Disclaimers aside, here are the (relatively) good books I've found on the subject. And, yes, I'm the parent of a Cars addict.
Old, New, Red, Blue! This is a basic opposites book using the Cars characters, and it's a good choice for the 2-3 year old crowd. There are only a few words per page, which is just right for that age range. It's a small paperback so it travels well. I highly recommend it.
Cars Little Golden Book: This book retells the movie. The paragraphs are a bit too long, but the illustrations of the various cars (which is really all my son is interested in) are pretty good. My main quibble with this book is that it cuts off the story well before the ending and doesn't include the all important final race.
Cars Ultimate Sticker Book: DK has tons of sticker books, and this one is fairly typical. I think it has way too much text and it's a little advanced for the 2-3 year old age range. But, it has 60 stickers of Lightning McQueen and friends, and works well as a travel activity.
Cars Resuable Sticker Book: I like this sticker book better than the DK sticker book, because it has a lot more stickers. Plus, there are tons of activities. My main issue with it is that it's oversized and it's difficult to fit into a diaper bag, purse or backpack. Also, we found the stickers to be reusable only a few times each... after that they stopped working.
The Fast Lane: A basic coloring book featuring Cars characters. The pictures are large and easy to color. It's 64 pages, which is a good size for a coloring book.
Have you come across any other Cars books that you'd recommend or that your kids liked?
Have I lost all my credibility as a reviewer by writing this post?
10 comments:
To answer your last question, no! Of course not. I'm sure your son's literary diet isn't composed entirely of Cars-themed books, and even if it were, they're still books, after all. I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate knowing which ones are most worthwhile.ReplyDelete
And I agree with you 100% about the inexplicably scary bits in kids' movies, by the way. We watch only the very tamest of things over here--and they're hard to find. Leo's seen more movies at school(?!) than at home.
Thanks! That makes me feel better. Actually, the only Cars book my son owns is one of the sticker books... the other books are ones I know from the store I work at. We carry a few Cars books... not a huge amount, but they're almost impossible to keep in stock because they sell so quickly.
I don't understand why there are so many scary parts in kids' movies. Winnie the Pooh is one my son has seen recently that isn't scary.

My favorite part about Cars is the Pitcrew. I also like the old race car driver who gave it all up. Sorry I've only seen it once don't remember his nameReplyDelete
Who's Driving by Timmers is a nice book. Nothing at all like cars, but it has vehicles
Hi Doret- The old race car's name is Doc and his voice is done by Paul Newman. I agree, the pit crew is pretty funny. Actually, the movie has a lot of great jokes. Thanks for the book recommendation- I'm always looking for good books about transportation.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 10, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Thanks for assuming I'd be too lazy to look up the name of the old car because you were right. You always gave me a sweet bonus the name of the actor who did the voice.ReplyDelete
oh no...this is my future life in two and a half years when Ari discovers Disney movies and cars and promotional tie-ins... :) But I am always one for stickers so I guess it won't be all that bad.ReplyDelete
Jody- I held off as long as possible, but then he saw Cars at his grandparents house (actually- at the houses of BOTH sets of grandparents) and he instantly became obsessed. After that, there was no turning back.ReplyDelete
And you're right, there are some cool sticker books out there. One of my book-buying responsibilities for the store is sticker books, and I'm always surprised at the variety.
My 26 month old son just discovered Cars, and you are right, there is no turning back.ReplyDelete
He's been enjoying a Golden book called "I'm a Truck" lately. He's also been enjoying one called "Bad Kitty".
Welcome to the club, Pirate Ninja Mommy! I'd offer to lend you some of our Cars paraphernalia, but my son would kill me.ReplyDelete
I don't know "I'm a Truck." I'll have to check it out. I love Bad Kitty by Nick Bruel, where the cat methodically destroys items in alphabetical order.
- AnonymousOctober 10, 2008 at 10:53 PM
My boys love Cars, Cars, and more Cars... The little one isn't a read-alone reader yet, but he loves "Cars Look & Find"... it's like a "Where's Waldo" for Radiator Springs.ReplyDelete
His brother loves "Roadwork!" It's a level 2 Step Into Reading book.

Social injustice or economic inequality?
How can we explain the April 2010 uprising in Bishkek and the June 2010 clashes in Osh? One is a political event, and the other relates to 'ethnic violence'; one we celebrate, and the other we condemn. But both relate to underlying economic inequalities. While social scientists are quick to point out social injustices (such as ethnic and gender discrimination) and violations of civil and human rights (especially media and religious freedoms), class hurt, injuries, discrimination and suffering are not often treated as an injustice or as a violation to human dignity. Without proper attention to economic disparities and class distortions of human evaluations, relationships and practices, any attempts at reconciliation or moral healing between ethnic groups are likely to flounder.
Economic inequality is significant in explaining sporadic looting, land grabbing and inter-ethnic conflicts in the country. Urban middle class residents view most rural migrants with contempt and disdain, calling the ruralised urban poor myrkas (uncultivated and uneducated). The poor migrants in turn feel humiliated and angry, but some young men counter the negative feelings with an exaggerated sense of masculinity and nationalism.
Rural ethnic majority Kyrgyzs have periodically targeted affluent urban and suburban ethnic minority groups (such as Uyghurs, Dungans, Meskhetian Turks, Uzbeks and Slavic Russians) for abuse and assault, in particular, erupting into land grabs and ethnic violence. For instance, after a wave of land grabs that followed the change in power in the March 2005, the so-called 'Tulip Revolution', ethnic Meskhetian Turks in the Novopavlovka village, found leaflets on their doors that said, 'Down with Turks, go away from our land. We will burn you if you hesitate.'
During the power vacuum that followed the fall of then President Akayev, many ethnic Slavic Russian businesses were also targeted by looters. In February 2006, a violent clash between ethnic Dungans and young ethnic Kyrgyzs erupted in the village of Iskra. At the time, an ethnic Kyrgyz in Iskra expressed his negative sentiments against the ethnic minority group, 'Dungan families have always been better off. Their children, when fighting or arguing with their Kyrgyz peers, used to tease them that they are mainly poor. Many Kyrgyz work the fields belonging to Dungan people who are sometimes viewed as outsiders, so this resentment is growing further.'
Following the 7 April 2010 uprising in Bishkek, slum dwellers and poor groups began to loot major shopping malls and stores, which led the middle classes to establish 'people's militias' to patrol the streets. Almost two weeks later, there was a riot in the village Mayevka, in the suburbs of Bishkek. Initially, the mass media framed the riot as an 'inter-ethnic conflict' clash between ethnic Kyrgyzs and ethnic Meskhetian Turks. But it is more accurate to suggest that, after the interim government had denied their claim for land plots, poor Kyrgyzs living in novostroyki (new housing estates) sought to grab land from the Meskhetian Turks. The riot on 19 April 2010 was an issue about land, not ethnicity per se. While access to land had became ethnicised and politicised in this particular incident, slum dwellers in Bishkek largely justify their claims to land on moral grounds.
I suggest that the ethnic violence in Osh that started on 11 June also relates to economic inequalities. Neo-liberal market and agricultural reforms have proved to be a disaster for Kyrgyzstan, causing rural poverty and labour migration to Bishkek and Osh. As a result, illegal settlements have developed on the outskirts of these cities. Bishkek has 47 novostroyki, and Osh has eight. Houses in novostroyki often lack basic necessities, such as sanitation, running water and electricity. As in Novopavlovka, Iskra and Mayevka, ethnicity does not operate in a social vacuum: people's everyday identities are shaped by other social structures, such as class, gender and age. Understanding the nature of ethnicity requires a careful examination of how various key factors came together in a particular set of conditions, which resulted in an immediate and widespread explosion of violence in the city. While no single factor can adequately explain the events, class inequalities require special attention, and in reconstructing the events with a focus on class relationships, I do not wish to deny the importance of ethnicity, gender and political elites.
Kyrgyz vs Uzbek in Osh
In their desire to seek economic redress, many rural residents and some living in novostroyki looted and burnt shops, cafes and businesses belonging to the dominant urban middle class Uzbek community. Their anger, envy and frustration particularly focused on looting and destroying Uzbek business property and private homes. Having not gained from the trickle-down effect of the previous economic growth periods and being impoverished by the market system, they saw no reason to respect others' wealth and property. They were intent on destroying the wealth and symbols of the urban petite bourgeoisie. Following the initial unrest on 11 June, looters stole from the large Osh Bazaar, and then burnt it down, leaving both Uzbek and Kyrgyz businesses destroyed. Even kiosks spray-painted with the word 'Kyrgyz', which throughout the city had offered some protection to homes and business from Kyrgyz youth gangs, were not spared. Economic redress, not ethnic hatred, appears to be the driving force behind the destruction. In Bishkek, following the events in Osh, poor Kyrgyzs made threats against the Uyghur business community, causing many Uyghurs to leave Bishkek temporarily to stay with relatives and friends in Astana, Kazakhstan.
There were horrific and gendered elements to the violence unleashed in Osh. While some commentators have attributed the Kyrgyz sentiments of resentment, anger and hatred towards the Uzbek to ethnicity, these emotions can be better explained as a reaction of poor people's own feelings of humiliation, shame and inferiority. The poor Kyrgyzs also reacted to the growing self-confidence and pride of the affluent urban Uzbek middle class in Osh, which started to demand greater language rights and better access to high-ranking political and civil service positions. The Uzbek petite bourgeoisie were no longer content with the existing social status quo and the division of societal roles which meant that the Uzbeks primarily performed an economic function, and the Kyrgyzs occupied top-level political and military positions. Buoyed by significant wealth, the Uzbek urban community demanded a greater recognition of their political and social rights, which angered and scared both the Kyrgyz elites and poor groups. It is in this complex and emotional context that many young and poor rural Kyrgyz men were inflamed to feeling aggressive, masculine, proud and nationalistic, so that sexual violence against Uzbek women and girls became enmeshed with the destruction of Uzbek private property.
While investigations have started to ascertain which leaders and groups instigated the tragic Osh events, it is clear that they were able to tap into powerful collective sentiments of class hurt and confidence, ethnic hatred and pride, aggressive masculinity and communal anxieties that had swelled up over the years between affluent urban Uzbek people and poor rural Kyrgyz residents. Poor rural men and slum dwellers living on the margins of Osh city had little reason to respect Uzbek people and property, and the scale of violence is a witness to the pent-up rage waiting to be unleashed. In many ways it is hardly surprising that highly symbolic and visual sites, such as the famous Osh Bazaar and several Uzbek ethnic enclaves, were attacked. While dressing up their grievances in terms of historical ethnic rivalry, the narrative of the poor rural class reflects a common strategy of destruction and mass violence in the face of humiliation and class injury. Consumed with excessive anger, rage and hatred, poor rural Kyrgyzs were unable to have any sympathy for others or to act with practical reason. Not that there can be any justification for the widespread and intense level of violence that transpired: individuals are ultimately responsible for their own actions.
Bishkek: justifying the violence
In order to ascertain key regional differences, it is fruitful to compare how rural migrants and poor Kyrgyz groups in Osh and Bishkek responded to economic inequalities. In Bishkek, poor migrants and groups have five important moral justifications for taking land and goods that constitutes their understanding of the moral economy of land. First, their moral rights to basic goods and land draw upon the old moral system of the Soviet welfare state and what it means to be a human being – it is difficult to imagine being truly human without space and basic goods. Land is fundamental to existence, since without it we could not sleep, rest, socialise or wash ourselves.
Second, urbanised rural poor groups have little reason to respect the rights of the property-owning class, when their own human rights have been grossly violated. People without registration documents living in Bishkek novostroyki have limited access to education, health, social benefits and formal political participation, live under a threat of eviction, and are despised as myrkas by most 'respectable' middle class Bishkekers. The rich property-owning class rules without responsibilities, and the poor property-less class lives without rights.
Third, Bishkek slum dwellers argue that if the then President Bakiyev's family and elites were looting and grabbing national assets, and improperly acquired the wealth to finance their lavish and wasteful lifestyles, then it is reasonable for the slum dwellers to grab plots of land to make ends meet. They feel that it is unfair and unjust that the 'untouchable' class can evade the law, while they have to stay within legal structures.
Fourth, they also legitimise their seizures on the basis of the land code and government promises. They feel that they are entitled to plots of land under the law, though there are conflicting legal interpretations. Fifth, land invaders note the irony of the interim leaders, who grabbed power claiming moral legitimacy, but then asserted that the slum dwellers' grabbing of land was illegal, despite their moral claims and need. If the interim government grabbed power, then the homeless can grab land.
Osh: powerless authorities
In contrast, the powers of the interim government, the local police, the military and local voluntary security brigades were very limited in constraining rural migrants and poor groups in southern Kyrgyzstan. The state, weakened by a decade or so of neo-liberal market reforms against the welfare state, was powerless to prevent poor migrants and groups destroying economic wealth and evicting the affluent Uzbek business community. It is in the context of fragile state-society relations that the politics of envy and anxiety of Kyrgyz rural residents and slum dwellers in novostroyki combined with the politics of cultural recognition of affluent Uzbek mahallas (urban divisions) to produce intense tensions and conflicts. Violence was almost inevitable.
Reconciliation in Osh will be difficult when images and reports in the mainstream media, social networking sites and blogospheres frame the Osh events as an inter-ethnic conflict. Rather than informing, they inflame further distrust and incriminations of wrongdoings on both sides, pitting 'Kyrgyzs' against 'Uzbeks'.
The way forward
Looking into the future, we require a process of moral repair and healing in the country that tackles deep collective emotional hurt, recognition of equal dignity, communal mistrust and a lack of fulfilment of normative expectations of state support and security. The process of moral repair cannot be simply discursive or symbolic. It has to involve real and material changes to how society distributes resources and wealth, otherwise moral aspirations will fail to match the economic reality. Forgiveness and reconciliation require real recognition of wrongdoing and hurt, and people need to take responsibilities for their actions, rather than blaming others (the Bakiyev family, radical Islamic groups or 'third forces'). But forgiveness and recognition is unlikely to develop in the context of social and spatial inequalities that prevent people being sympathetic towards others, evaluating others as unworthy of respect, dignity, equality and recognition. Structural inequalities tend to demonise, marginalise and characterise others as inferior or superior on the basis of their economic standing. Class equality matters because it facilitates a genuine recognition that others (whether they are Uzbeks or Kyrgyzs, men or women, young or old) deserve to be equally treated as human beings, being sympathetic to their vulnerabilities and needs. Without economic re-distribution and greater equalities, the process of moral repair and healing is likely to be meaningless and fruitless.

In 2011, McElroy Weddings filmed over 90 weddings ranging from venues such as the Boston Public Library and the Taj, to Nashoba Winery and the Worcester Art Museum. Here are our staff's picks for the best weddings of 2011 (in no particular order):
When Kunal couldn't find an elephant or a horse to ride into his wedding, he simply went for a cherry red Ford Mustang convertible, but the ensuing parade of friends and family was no less grandiose and fun as they wound their way to the Westin Hotel. The service was typical Hindu affair save for the breath-taking Sweta who, despite spending the service mostly silent and subdued, definitely stole all the attention with her piercing gaze and ornate garb. However, it was after the service when the real fun began, as the newly weds posed for some incredible photos and danced the night away.
When a wedding takes place in a library, one would expect a quiet affair, but not in the beautiful, historic Boston Public Library. Jessica & Michael spoke their vows within the stone courtyard with smartly dressed guests and a gurgling fountain nearby creating an old-world, extravagant atmosphere. After, the new bride and her groom withdrew to the library's brick and marble ballroom to celebrate their marriage with friends and family. The whole scene was magical, especially when night fell and the courtyard became a spectacle of orange candlelight and delicate flowers.
Barns aren't for animals! They are prime wedding destinations. Especially the Barn at Gibbet Hill. The orange sun streaming through the lush landscape and bathing the newlyweds in a blanket of glowing warmth seemed to mirror the newlywed's unending affection for one another as they walked into the sunset. Later, Josh and Meg's entrance through the heavy wood-framed doorway into a space bristling with friends and family cheering from all sides was easily the grandest start to a reception last year. And when the dances and cake cutting were complete, Josh sat himself down with his guitar and serenaded his new wife . . . No, that doesn't just happen in movies!
The moment Tara & Michael chose to marry at the Wequassett Resort along the Cape, they knew they would have a spectacular wedding in one of the best vistas in Massachusetts and New England. But a perfect wedding day on the beach has to be preluded by a seafood dinner with friends, a talented drag queen, and good conversation. By the time the next morning broke over the croquet lawn by the sea, dozens of hands began meticulously preparing for the service to come: Lining up chairs, stringing flowers, and humming sweet melodies. The guests were met by a stout bagpiper, then a string quartet and when Tara finally made her way down the terraced hill to Michael, the sun shone through the overcast and kept on gleaming until day's end.
What stood out about this wedding was the creativity and thought that went into the different details. The bride chose to use sunflowers for her bouquets, and she made them herself the morning of the wedding! The bridesmaids wore royal blue dresses, offering a strong contrast to the flowers. The colors looked beautiful in their formals when they were all together outside. To show their quirkiness, the bride and her bridesmaids wore yellow sunglasses, while the groom and his groomsmen wore blue and yellow sneakers. Going along with the sunflower theme, the table assignments were written on jars with sunflower seeds in them. A great addition to the reception was an outdoor photobooth where the guests could dress up and take pictures together.
One word I would use to describe Gina and Mike's wedding is "fun." From the girls getting their makeup done, to the formals on the boat deck, to the dancing at the reception, the bride and groom along with their family and bridal party seemed to be having a great time. Sometimes keeping to schedule can be difficult and/or stressful on one's wedding day. However, everything seemed to be easygoing and enjoyable. What was also cool about this wedding was their beach theme, not to mention they got married on Cape Cod. The bride's heels were yellow with painted on seashells. Also, the reception included a cake with painted starfish and seashells, centerpieces filled with sand and shells, and Cape Cod chips on every table.
My favorite part about Melissa and Reese's wedding was their formals. Taking advantage of the beautiful weather and their location, they took photos all throughout the Boston Commons. They posed in the gardens, by the Swan Boats, and on the carousel. It was almost as if they were two kids again. The colors look stunning in their video. Also helping that was the bride's pink bouquet and heels. Melissa and Reese took more formals in a residential area with a hot pink umbrella. The way the light was shining casted a shadow on the couple, and all you see is the silhouette of them kissing. What I also liked about the wedding was their theme: travel. At the reception, the table assignments were posted on luggage tags. Also, they had a map hanging up where guests could pin different cities and countries they have traveled to before.
Ariel and Tyler proved that you don't have to have an extravagant wedding for it to be enjoyable. Their wedding day was simple, yet elegant. They got married at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm. Their ceremony took place in the same room as their reception; it included barn style posts and beam construction with a fireplace to give a homey feel. What also stood out were the couple's formals. The venue includes a wedding garden and a golf course. Before they even got onto the green, the groom drove the golf cart as the bride leaned on him with her bare feet hanging over the front. On the course, the videographer was able to get shots of them using the slider; the groom dipped his bride next to the hole, walked with her hand in hand, and sat with her on the green.
Kelly and Eric got married at the Nashoba Valley Winery in Bolton. This venue is stunning due to the rows of grapevines and its openness. It's a quaint spot for a wedding because it's so isolated from everything else. Kelly and Eric were able to take their formals in the middle of the vineyards. The weather on their wedding day was beautiful so they were able to take amazing photos. Also, her bouquet really popped in the footage because of the red flowers. Besides the vineyard, they were able to take formals inside where all the barrels of wine were.
Mike & Zina got married at the Cruiseport Gloucester with the assistance of their seven bridesmaids and nine groomsmen. It was hard to miss the bride and groom and their bridal party since they were dressed in bold red dresses and flowers. Not missing out on the excitement were the bride's two dogs. The two of them were decked in a wedding dress and tuxedo. Between the gorgeous photos taken by the water and all the dancing at the reception, Mike and Zina's wedding was a blast.

ATLAS ELEKTRONIK and Thales Deutschland have jointly been commissioned to deliver the combat system of the German Class K130 Corvette. The order comprises 5 corvettes as well as the Test and Training Centre (EZ/BUZ) in Wilhelmshaven.
German Navy Braunschweig class corvette (K130)
With completion scheduled for 2025, the "FüWES K130" consortium formed by the two companies and led by ATLAS ELEKTRONIK will deliver the combat system hardware and also adapt and update the existing Combat Management System software of the K130, first batch (ship 1-5).
The contracted solution for Ship 6-10 is identical to the original contract (2003) for the K130, first batch. In line with the re-build requirement, changes in the solution are only related to obsolescence and compliancy with German regulations. Regulations regarding Safety and IT Security are significantly aggravated since commissioning the first batch of corvettes.
Although the industrial situation has changed over the past years, the existing K130 combat system knowledge is preserved within the companies concerned. For this reason, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK will remain responsible for the operational software and Thales will remain responsible for an IT secure combat system infrastructure.
Commander Dietrich Esfeld (German Navy), Head of Project K130 at the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), stated: "The corvettes of the Class K130 have already demonstrated their value in shallow water operations in the Baltic Sea as well as expeditionary operations in the Mediterranean for the German Navy." Michael Ozegowski, CEO of ATLAS ELEKTRONIK, and Dr. Christoph Hoppe, CEO of Thales Deutschland, emphasized: "This contract is a prolongation of the long standing and successful cooperation between our companies on the German market. We are proud of this expression of trust: in close cooperation with the ARGE K130 and the German Navy, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK and Thales Deutschland – as two internationally leading system suppliers – are to prepare these ships for the challenges of the years to come."

In today's media-saturated world, our definition of courage has shifted toward rating-generating displays of heroism, causing us to lose sight of what it means to be truly brave with our voice, our stories, and our truth.
When We Are Bold is not only a celebration of women peacemakers and the activists they've inspired, it is a call to courage. A call to all of us who have allowed activism to be defined as something that other people do, to those of us who have orphaned our voice and our story, and to every woman and man who has struggled or borne witness to injustices that left their hearts flooded with truth and stories that need to be spoken.

Let's face it, most people are sheep. It is much easier to follow than to lead, and on Twitter it is no different. A full 80 percent of Twitter accounts have fewer than 10 followers, according to an analysis of seven million Twitter accounts provided to TechCrunch by Web security firm Purewire (which operates TweetGrade). What's more, 30 percent have zero followers.
Does this mean nobody is using Twitter? Or that they are using it more as a one-way information consumption service?
The fact that an estimated 32 million people around the world visited Twitter.com alone in April certainly indicates that there is something going on there. It just may be that Twitter really isn't as much about two-way micro-conversations as it is about one-way micro-broadcasting. Indeed, a recent Harvard Business School study suggested that the top 10 percent of Twitter users produce more than 90 percent of all Tweets.
Here is how Purewire breaks down activity on Twitter by number of followers, followings, and Tweets:
Accounts with 0 followers: 29.4%
Accounts with 1 to 9 followers: 50.9%
Accounts with 10 or more followers: 19.7%
Accounts following 0 people: 24.4%
Accounts following 1 to 9 people: 43.4%
Accounts following 10 or more people: 32.2%
Accounts with 0 Tweets: 37.1%
Accounts with 1 to 9 Tweets: 41.0%
Accounts with more 10 or more Tweets: 21.9%
What stands out from this data is that about a quarter of all accounts are not following anybody, nearly 30 percent have zero followers, and more than a third have not posted a single Tweet. The problem with all of this data, however, is that it includes abandoned accounts (as most likely does the Harvard data as well).
Like any popular Web service, millions of people create a Twitter account, try it once, and never come back again. The Purewire data shows that about 40 percent of users have not sent out a Tweet since the day they created their accounts. You can compare this with the 60 percent abandonment rate claimed by Nielsen. But even these may not be the true abandonment rates. Just because you are not Tweeting does not mean you are not listening.
After getting rid of the dead accounts and spam accounts (24 percent of accounts follow nobody), what do we have left? All the activity on Twitter is coming from the remaining people who stick around—that 20 percent with more than ten followers and the 32 percent following more than ten people. If you look at active accounts—which Purewire defined as those with at least 10 followers, 10 followings, and 10 tweets—it shows that Twitter is still filled with sheep. Of those active accounts, 63.6 percent follow more people than they have followers (2.8 percent have the same number of followers as followings).
But that is what you'd expect. When only 22 percent of accounts have more than 10 Tweets, people who bother to Tweet on a regular basis will attract more followers than people who prefer to sit back and read. Twitter is no different than any other form of participatory media. A small fraction of users produce the overwhelming amount of content, even if it is just 140 characters at a time. Everyone else just drinks from the stream. Baaaa!

Score one for the good guys. ABC has picked up Marvel's Agents of SHIELD for a full season and has ordered nine additional episodes. This will bring the show's first season tally to 22 installments.
A continuation of the movies that feature Marvel superheroes, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD follows a group of specialized government agents as they handle cases involving superhumans. The cast includes Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge.
The most highly-anticpated new series of the season, SHIELD premiered to a whopping 4.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 12.12 million viewers. The second episode's numbers dropped nearly 30% and this week's demo fell another 12%.
It's still one of ABC's highest-rated series and apparently the network feels confident that the numbers will level off soon.
ABC needs new successful hour series and this looks like their best hope thus far this season. Lucky 7 tanked right out of the gate and Betrayal isn't doing much better.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear there will be additional episodes? Do you think it will end up being renewed for a second season?

Vietnam War: What If JFK Hadn't Been Assassinated?Resume
What if? That's the question that's always applied to President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated 50 years ago this month.
One of the biggest "ifs" is what would have happened regarding the Vietnam War if he had lived. The war escalated under Kennedy's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, and eventually claimed more than 58,000 American lives, along with countless troops from South and North Vietnam, and of course civilians.
Historian Edward Miller, author of "Misalliance: Ngo Dinh Diem, the United States, and the Fate of South Vietnam," (excerpt below) joins Here & Now's Robin Young to discuss the possible answers.
Interview Highlights: Edward Miller
On why the U.S. decided to support a regime change
"The key development for Kennedy was the so called 'Buddhist Crisis,' which began in the spring of 1963. These monks and their supporters accused Diem of religious discrimination and persecution. Diem was a Catholic, a member of the Catholic minority, and the Buddhists accused him of trying to suppress their religious freedom. These protests attracted a lot of attention, especially after one of the Buddhist monks burned himself to death on a Saigon street corner. Among those who saw the very famous photograph of that event was President Kennedy. And I think the breaking point for Kennedy came in August of 1963, when Diem decided to use force to suppress the movement—that was the moment that Kennedy opted for regime change."
On what happened after the Diem coup
"In the year after Diem's death, South Vietnam had a revolving door series of very weak governments. The generals who overthrew Diem were only in power for about three months. Meanwhile, Communist leaders in North Vietnam decided that after the coup, to rapidly escalate their war effort in the south. Their goal was to bring about the collapse of the South Vietnamese state before the United States could intervene with its own troops. This Communist escalation, this gamble to win the war quickly by North Vietnam, ultimately failed because it provoked Lyndon Johnson to launch his own American escalation. And so in 1965, the U.S. begins bombing North Vietnam and sent hundreds or thousands of troops to the south. So there is no doubt that the coup led directly to the escalation of the war and that it would have disastrous consequences both for Vietnam and the United States."
On what might have happened if Kennedy had not been assassinated
"I don't think that he would have taken the path of massive escalation that Johnson did; however, I don't think that he would have opted for an immediate withdrawal either. I suspect that Kennedy would have chosen some kind of middle course and I think that he might well have done something not unlike what Barack Obama would later do in Afghanistan in 2009. In Afghanistan, of course, Obama chose short-term escalation, followed by a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops. Having done this, I can also imagine Kennedy trying to seek some sort kind negotiated deal, some sort of settlement that would have allowed for the so-called 'neutralization of South Vietnam.'"
Book Excerpt: 'Misalliance'
On the ground, Ngo Dinh Diem solemnly shook hands with the officials and political leaders who were waiting for him. His greeters included some of the most powerful men in Indochina. The first was a senior general of the French colonial army, who was attending on behalf of the French high commissioner. As an official of the colonial state, the general was a symbol of France's determination to maintain a measure of control over the Indochinese empire it had ruled for nearly a century. Next to welcome Diem was Prince Buu Loc, a member of Vietnam's royal family. Buu Loc was attending the ceremony in his capacity as the caretaker prime minister of the State of Vietnam (SVN), the anticommunist Vietnamese government that had been established under French auspices five years earlier. Though Diem had come to Saigon to replace Buu Loc as premier of the SVN, protocol obliged the prince to welcome his successor.
Standing behind Buu Loc were several other high-ranking government officials, including the senior commanders of the SVN's armed forces. Also in attendance were leading members of the foreign diplomatic corps, including the U.S. ambassador to Vietnam, Donald Heath. Although he did not command any armies or assert any claims of sovereignty over Vietnamese territory, Heath was an influential figure in Saigon politics. As the official with responsibility for a massive program of military and economic aid for French forces and the SVN, the head of the U.S. mission was not a man to be taken lightly.
Despite the presence of so many of Indochina's most prominent person- alities, the welcome ceremony for Diem was surprisingly brief and low-key. After exchanging pleasantries with the new arrival, the French general and the Vietnamese prince delivered short speeches of welcome. Observers noted that Diem seemed ill at ease as they spoke, and that he did not address the crowd after they had finished. As soon as the ceremony concluded, he climbed into a waiting limousine and sped away.
Diem's desire to leave the airport as quickly as possible was understandable. As the prime minister–designate of the SVN, the situation in which he now found himself appeared to be a daunting mix of both opportunity and danger. Diem's arrival in Saigon marked the end of nearly four years of self-imposed exile in the United States and Europe. For much of that time, it appeared unlikely that Diem would ever realize his ambition to become the leader of an independent, postcolonial Vietnamese state. He had defied expectations and returned to take the helm of the SVN—but he had done so at a moment when Vietnam's national destiny appeared to be hanging in the balance. Just seven weeks earlier, French army forces had been dealt a devastating defeat on a battlefield far to the north, in a remote mountain valley known as Dien Bien Phu. That defeat came at the hands of the Viet Minh, the communist-led movement that had been fighting for independence from France for over a decade. For Ho Chi Minh, the founder and leader of the Viet Minh, the timing of the victory was exquisite: it took place exactly one day before international peace negotiations to end the Indochina War were scheduled to begin in Geneva. When Diem landed at Tan Son Nhut on June 25, the terms of the Geneva peace had not yet been written, but it seemed certain that they would be disadvantageous to him and to the state he would soon be leading.

Opinion piece by Fiona Grahame
"You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on. Harry S Truman" (Brainy Quote)
It is 6 months since The Orkney News launched as a way of bringing the alternative news to our community. Despite the doubters who said that there was not enough news to sustain us – here we are going from strength to strength.
Local newspapers are incredibly important for raising issues that may otherwise not get heard about. They connect people together who might feel isolated. And they publish articles that the nationals are not interested in (until they are ).
Local news is everything that is relevant to where you live. It can be micro news and of interest to only a few people but for those few people to get that information and to be heard is of utmost importance. It can also be national and international news and how it will directly and indirectly affect you. Brexit whether or not you are for or against will have an enormous effect on Orkney so local news needs to be looking at its impact.
Many traditional local newspapers are no longer owned by people who live in their community having been bought over by a larger company. Traditional publishing is expensive and limits what you can do but we have so many more tools that we can use today and The Orkney News right from the start was determined to go down the no-print route and be completely online.
This does mean that some people will never access our news and we just have to accept that. We balance it off by being free to view and opening up to contributors. And that is key – engaging with readers. All of that is much more possible using the online format. We are also able to link our articles to other websites and social media pages. People can check out for themselves if what we are saying is factual, they can click on to find out more detailed information and they can access documents being produced by organisations. Or they can scroll right on past any stories they are not interested in.
Two of us went on a mobile journalism course led by Bill Sheppard of The Guardian. This opened up another area for The Orkney News to explore: short videos and interviewing. This is an aspect we are keen to expand in. It is yet another way for people to access information. Not everyone wants to read the written word, some like to listen and watch instead but also hopefully, as well as.
"A newspaper is a public trust, and we will suffer as a society without them. It is not the Internet that has killed them. It is their own greed, it is their own stupidity, and it is capitalism that has taken our daily newspapers from us. Michael Moore" (Brainy Quote)
The internet has not killed local newspapers in actuality it is our saviour. The Orkney News is a not for profit company with all our staff and contributors volunteering their time and skill. There are expenses and currently we use our advertising facility to pay for those. We will be applying for funding, however, as equipment will need to be replaced or updated. But publishing online does not suffer the expenses that traditional 'paper' based publishing does and the creative possibilities are exciting.
Our contributors are amazing. They tell their stories, what they love about our community, what excites them about a place or a time. They tell us about a skill or a passion that they have. And we also find out about how many of them are making a positive difference in our community. But they also tell us about the problems that we have in our islands and where we can access help when we need it. The Orkney News is not about saying everything where we live is hunky dory because we know it is not. The Orkney News must accurately reflect the diversity in our community and that means where it is succeeding and where it is stumbling.
"News is unusual things happening— And usual things happening …….But news is mainly what someone somewhere doesn't want you to put in the paper— Except that sometimes it isn't ……all depends. But you'll know it when you see it." Terry Pratchett, The Truth (Good Reads)

Actually, determining arthritis is not a single disease it is an informal way of referring to joint pain or joint disease. Arthritis is a joint disorder featuring inflammation. When four or more joints are involved, the arthritis is referred to as polyarthritis.
Determining arthritis is classified as one of the rheumatic diseases. Joint inflammation from arthritis is characterized by joint stiffness, swelling, redness, pain, and warmth. Trauma-related arthritis is related to the risk of injury from specific activities. Continue reading "Determining Arthritis As Well As Its Holistic Treatment Options"

The Civil Services day is celebrated on the 20 and 21st of April and in this year's celebration, the Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi made an impassioned and articulate speech calling upon the bureaucrats to deliver on the mandate of governance. His speech was practical, sometimes clothed in wit and sarcasm, and at the same time inspirational. What stood out was his simplistic way of explaining how it was upto the political class to undertake 'reforms'; how the bureaucrats had to 'perform' and how both working together could 'transform' the nation. Beyond the semantics, this clearly meant that the civil services must deliver. He gently pointed out how the civil servants need to go beyond mere 'outputs' and start to focus on the 'outcomes' of their actions. He asked them to expand their sense of accountability from beyond the CAG and to include the common Indian citizen too. He also mentioned how a few bureaucrats had limited the use of social media to mere self-aggrandisement and how it could be more efficiently and effectively used for doing public good. When one goes deep into the Prime Minister's speech and deconstructs it, one can recognize how emphatic he was in his demand for 'performance' from the bureaucracy.
The dictionary defines 'Performance' as an action, task or operation, seen in terms of how successfully it was performed and most of us have a tacit knowledge of Performance. We can recognize and understand that something is indeed working as it should be, and learn from a very young age to appreciate performance and quality. How does one translate this tacit understanding into something more structured and measurable? Can one measure performance in the public sector and of public functionaries? One can learn from the private sector that has taken the lead in measuring performances of individuals, teams and entire organizations. The public sector is very diverse in the context in which it operates, has egalitarian objectives and is funded by taxation revenues. Hence civil servants need to be more accountable and transparent but paradoxically one does not find these as the primary drivers of performance. By the very nature of having unlimited resources at its disposal, the public sector also tends to become inefficient and opaque over time. This very complexity has incentivised the system into taking the easier approach of limiting the measurement to simpler variables like compliance to the instructions of the political bosses, absence of any controversial decision making, numerical achievements in terms of beneficiaries reached and budget expended.
Demanding performance of oneself and an organization is a very exacting process that requires discipline, determination and a strong political will to undertake. It requires not just managerial knowledge but a visionary leadership that is constantly evaluating, refining and improvising processes all the time. Performance processes normally fail because the required discipline and rigor wanes over time – one must have the patience and the perseverance to allow the system to mature for results to be produced. Measuring performance is not like instant coffee – made quickly and giving immediate gratification. These systems take time to initiate, evolve, mature, and become organizational culture. Leadership needs to be constant, consistent and serious till the entire cycle has taken root. It also needs mentoring support from experts who are willing to not only design a review process but also facilitate its implementation in the initial phases. The core leadership should take it as sacred responsibility and be willing to make public disclosure of achievements or variances. One must have public displays of the review process and all stakeholders should have a say in not just the design but also in the actual framing and implementation of the reviews. Reward and punishment behaviours are indeed critical for human performance and public agencies should move away from not wanting to indulge in them. There is a normative feeling that public jobs are sort of permanent and career growth is not necessarily dependent on performance. One must communicate that 'mediocrity' need not necessarily be synonymous with 'public agencies' and a culture of valuing performance should be created. This can be done only when good performance is rewarded and poor one punished.
Moving towards more qualitative indicators in line with what the PM is demanding will necessitate major paradigm shifts in the mind-set of not just the bureaucrats and the political system but also in the way the common man views the civil servants and their performance. Performance, when measured with the attitude of seeing the bureaucrat as a 'public servant' being paid out of taxation revenues will be totally different from that of seeing them as 'elite officers' overseeing service delivery functions. But can the officers of our civil services, who over the decades have got used to operating with neither the transparency nor public accountability be willing to subject themselves to a complete shift in mind set? Will the PM be able to push thru 'reforms' and make 'social audits' and 'citizen initiated performance measurement' of civil servants a norm rather than the exception? If the PM and his intent can translate into concrete action and result in these paradigmatic shifts, then one can be sure that the much-touted reforms coupled with the performance of a vibrant and energetic bureaucracy will spear head the rising of a 'New India'.

My Other Brother
586 Burke Rd
Camberwell, VIC 3124
enter at rear
(03) 9804 0155
On the wrong side of Burke Rd facing the carpark home to the Sunday Camberwell Market is My Other Brother. The food is your usual Melbourne brunch fare, with owner Julien Moussi's mum making the labneh for some of the dishes. The coffee is top notch, available either cold drip, filter, syphon, or V60 pourover as well as your usual offerings using the house blend Moody Sister. Talk about keeping it in the family.
You may recognise the space as the former Carpark Cafe, but it's had a facelift. With the capacity to fit over 100 patrons, the space is bright and airy, with your typical Melbourne styling: pale timber, white subway tiles, and a large central table for communal dining.
The menu too is typical Melbourne, with plenty of fan favourites like the 'McBrother' (a gourmet version of the McMuffin similar to Porgie's), or smashed avocado with grilled mushrooms on sourdough. But the problem with copying others is that it leaves you open to comparison, and sadly The Annoying Brother incarnation falls just short of the benchmark.
It's the same story for the corn and haloumi fritters with smoked salmon and avocado: not a bad dish but you can find better. The optional poached egg is perfectly cooked, and the salmon and avocado do their bit, but the fritters are stodgy, leaving a crumbled mess on the plate after a few mouthfuls, while the haloumi is MIA.
With a menu that aims to please everyone, of course there's bircher museli, but this time it's with apple and rhubarb, topped with pommegranate and chia seeds. Served fashionably in a jar, the museli sits on a thick layer of rhubarb compote, leaving this dish to straddle the line between breakfast and dessert, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
It seems Camberwell's cafes are slowly undergoing a hipster transformation to be more like their northside rivals, but all this copying gives me deja vu. My Other Brother is a decent cafe with good atmosphere and coffee with pretty good food, but lacks originality by Melbourne standards. It's a carbon copy of all the other popular brunch spots around town. Looks like My Other Brother is a twin.

Ford continues surge in China
Looking to expand your Ford footprint but can't seem to find an open point in Canada? Perhaps you should start looking east, Far East.
Ford Motor Co. says it plans to open 66 new dealerships in China by the end of this year bringing its total number of outlets to 340. With the addition of 66 new stores, The Blue Oval will have opened 100 new dealerships in China in 2010 alone.
"Following the call to 'go west,' we are expanding west and in developing cities in China where most of the future growth will come from," said Joe Hinrichs, CEO of Ford China, referring to how the new stores are primarily located in fast-growing western and northern China.
"By expanding our retail footprint in western China, we are continuing to realize the vision of Henry Ford to make personal transportation more accessible and efficient."
The new dealerships will be located throughout Ford's sales regions in China, in cities such as Liyang, Shijiazhuang, Harbin, Wanzhou in Chongqing and Anyang. Many of these cities, relatively unknown outside of China, have populations well over one million people and will help lead the next wave of growth in the Chinese economy.
Ford and its joint venture Changan Ford Mazda Automotive Ltd. (CFMA) are building a new assembly plant in Chongqing, and just signed an agreement to build a new engine plant also in Chongqing. Ford is introducing the new Edge SUV to China in mid-December.
Today's announcement appears more about continuing to invest in the future for Ford, which noted it expects 70 per cent of its growth in the next ten years to come from operations in Asia Pacific and Africa. Industry sales in the region are expected to increase from 16 million units in 2009, to an estimated 50 million units by 2020.
The automaker has already forecast record sales in China this year, reporting a 39 per cent jump to 468,764 units sold from January to October.
Ford has invested US $4 billion since 2006 in the region and employs more than 25,000 people here.
In India, Ford has invested $500 million this year to double production capacity, launch the Ford Figo, expand exports, and increase engine production capacity to 250,000 units.

[This guest post is by Mike from Renting Out Rooms]
What's worse, debt or a strange roommate? That's the question I asked myself nearly 7 years ago as I was about to start graduate school. It was the spring of 2006. My undergraduate degree had left me with loans equivalent to the price of a new Honda Civic (although that's nothing compared to the outrageous debt kids graduate with these days). And on top of that, I had a mortgage payment. With the burden of these two loans, taking on additional debt was not something I was inclined to do.
Since I was living alone in a two bedrooms house I thought to myself, maybe I could rent out the spare bedroom. And after weighing the pros and cons I decided to go for it. Finding a strange roommate had won over wallowing in debt.
I figured no-one would want to rent a room from a complete stranger, but within a matter of weeks from first advertising my space I found a roommate via the internet. Honestly, the entire process went much faster than I anticipated.
After a few months my place wasn't trashed or messy, there weren't many parties or horror stories worth sharing. In short, the roommate gig wasn't going bad. So, with that in mind, I decided to expand. I renovated the basement to make it habitable and moved down there myself freeing up my old room for rent.
Fast-forward to now…I've had thirteen different roommates cycle in and over the course of seven years. I've learned a great deal about the process and I've started a blog about this sole topic in hopes of encouraging others to cash in on their spare room and improve their personal finances in the process. It certainly has changed my life for the better.
THE UP, DOWN, and FINANCIAL SIDE
I've learned a lot of upsides and downsides during these 7 years and nothing has deterred me from continuing to rent out my spare rooms, even after I finished grad school.
the DOWNSIDE
Additional Wear and Tear – The house, particularly the carpet and walls, show more wear than had I been living by myself. The hot water heater also needed to be (prematurely) replaced. Something I am sure wouldn't have happened living on my own.
Finding Roommates – This is always a hassle. When you find a roommate and things are going well, you're in cruise control. However, the time comes when a roommate moves out and you need to replace him or her if you want to continue making that extra cash. The initial search and screening is time consuming as I wade through the countless number of craigslist scam e-mails and phone calls. I also have to set up walk-throughs of the house for tenants that seem ok. However, once you find a reliable roommate that fits the bill you are back in cruise control. And for the times when you can't find a one, the spare room goes empty and you don't make the extra cash. It's frustrating, but I would rather find a reliable roommate than deal with trouble.
the UPSIDE
At first the only upside I counted on was extra cash, but after having roommates for quite some time I've grown to realize that there are benefits beyond just a fatter bank account.
The Camaraderie – I have really enjoyed the people I've lived with. We often grill out when the weather is nice. We talk about important things together and have developed real friendships.
Helping Each Other Out – There were times when my car was in the shop and I needed a ride to work. I knew I could count on my roommates for a ride instead of troubling one of my friends or spending money on a cab. Having those guys to count on as a helping hand has been really nice.
the FINANCIAL SIDE
I could have easily squandered the extra money on trivial materialistic things that would have not mattered. Instead I set goals so that I would have something to show from the income I generated renting out rooms. I've been able to accomplish some really big financial goals because of this harebrained scheme!
Paid for Graduate School – About 3.5 years after starting graduate school I'm extremely happy to report that I took out no additional loans to get through. I couldn't have done that had it not been for renting out my spare rooms.
Paid off My Second Mortgage – I took out an 80/20 loan when I bought my house. This mortgage allows one with good credit to essentially finance 100% of purchase price with the second mortgage having a higher than normal interest rate. And I've paid off that 20% part. That's pretty sweet!
Amassed an Emergency Fund – Having cash on-hand gives you options. And options can change everything. Emergency funds can also help you survive in case of an economic downturn or a lost job. If any of those things were to happen in my life it's comforting to know that I have money in savings to make emergency repairs on my house or car, or whatever might pop up in my life.
final THOUGHTS
It's obvious that extra cash is the number one reason why folks rent out a room. Who couldn't use an extra bit of green in your life every month? We all have debts we would love to have paid off or could stand to fatten our rainy day accounts. However, the (surprisingly) intangible benefits of having a roommate were definitely an added bonus that can't be quantified. And ones I hadn't considered when I started. So I guess the renting out rooms thing has worked out really well for me.
Would you consider renting out a room in your house for some extra income every month? In debt vs strange roommate, what freaks you out more? Have you made any other outside of the box moves to make some extra dough?

Bad news, worrywarts. But try not to stress too much over this one. New research says anxious, easily-stressed women are more prone to developing Alzheimer's later in life.
After following 800 women for nearly four decades, researchers say certain personality dispositions can put you at risk for the memory-robbing disease. Middle-aged women with an average age of 46 were given a battery of personality tests and asked to make note of any periods of prolonged stress longer than one month to determine certain traits and tendencies. Researchers looked at how outgoing or withdrawn participants were, if they were easily distressed, prone to worrying and jealousy, and if they showed signs of neuroticism.
Over the course of the study, 19 percent of women developed dementia. But women who scored high for neuroticism were twice as likely to develop the disease than their low-stress counterparts. Withdrawn women with high stress scores were twice as likely as outgoing and less distressed women to develop Alzheimer's.
But the Swedish study's authors chalk it up to more than just personality. "Personality may influence the individual's risk for dementia through its effect on behavior, lifestyle or reactions to stress," study author Lena Johannsson of the University of Gothenburg explained in a release.
For example, researchers say people who are less neurotic are more likely to have more active lifestyles, meaning better metabolic function and cardiovascular health. Meanwhile, neurotic types are more prone to having tangles in the brain and damage to the brain's memory center due to stress.
It's not known exactly what brings on the disease, but experts believe it to be a combination of lifestyle factors, genetics, and environment. Other research has also suggested stress could be a contributing factor. A 2013 study suggested that stress steroids in the brain can impair memory and increase the amount of plaque-building proteins. And taking a different approach, another study found that stress-busting yoga and meditation can even slow the progression of dementia.
Just another reason to stress a little less.
