Is there something you have been wanting to speak up about?
It could be to right a perceived wrong, to stick up for someone or even for yourself, to say the thing everyone is talking about behind the scenes but no one is willing to talk about publicly, or even an idea you have a burning desire to express or pursue.
In the moment you feel compelled to speak up it often feels risky, and perhaps even a bit scary, to do so.
Challenging or questioning something or someone, even when it is for an important reason, is often not easy to do. It can be very uncomfortable. For some just raising their hand to share an opinion in a group larger than 2 is an action that requires tremendous courage.
Expressing a possibility or an idea, no matter how excited you are about it, could be met with criticism or laughter or whatever response you fear most might be provoked.
When courage is required consider it may just be a sign this is an opportunity for you to lead.
It may even be your inner guidance system compelling you to lead right here, right now.
Of course there are a lot of very valid reasons for not speaking up. You may not feel it is worth the risk. Perhaps others have tried before you and it didn't end well or you don't really believe that by speaking up you will make any difference. You may have already tried and failed. Then there is the allure of the perceived safety of silence.
Yet if you are even thinking about whether to speak up about something or not chances are you have a choice to make. Will you speak up or not?
Will you choose to be A leader in this situation even if you are not THE leader?
Will you risk facing whatever you fear for the sake of the difference you want to make and whatever you are committed to for the future?
Speaking up as an act of leadership isn't about what you have to say, about being heard, or even about being understood. It is about the difference you want to make by speaking up.

Not content with being home to the world's tallest skyscraper, Dubai recently announced that it intends to achieve another architectural world record. The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbor, which is set to be completed in 2020, will be the tallest tower in the world. Though the announcement did not state how tall the proposed structure will be, it'll have to be at least 2,723 feet in height. The record belongs to the Tokyo Sky Tree which stands at 2,722 feet high. Visitors to the forthcoming record-breaker will feature a view of Dubai's waterfront and several garden-themed observation decks.

World Humanitarian Summit: An opportunity to pave the way for inclusive humanitarian responses
Throughout the different humanitarian crises across the world, one problem persists - the needs of vulnerable groups continue to go uncovered (in conflicts and disasters). The needs of the most marginalised people - children, youth, older people, people with disabilities, ethnic groups - are not being adequately met by the responses.
Their precise numbers are not well known, their input into solutions is not sought, programmes for their benefit are not well funded, and the nuances of how best to meet their needs not well understood by most major humanitarian agencies and their staff, despite the best of intentions.
Next Monday the World Humanitarian Summit will take place in Istanbul. The Summit has been convened by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, and organised by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). It is the first UN conference of its kind and it will bring together the humanitarian community with Heads of State, Government officials and representatives of civil society, the private sector, crisis-affected communities and multilateral organisations.
Bold steps must be taken
The World Humanitarian Summit has bold objectives. To put people at the centre of decision making and alleviate the suffering of the 100 million people at risk of being left behind. In order to achieve these objectives, bold steps must be taken by all those involved in responses including National Governments, NGOs and civil society, UN agencies and Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies. The extensive WHS regional and global consultations which have taken place over the last 18 months in the run up to the conference have vocalised a strong demand for a better response for the most marginalised and vulnerable.
To encourage a holistic response across the sector, HelpAge International and Plan International have collaborated with a group of leading NGOs (including World Vision, Islamic Relief and CAFOD) to identify the key actions that are required to equip humanitarian actors to respond to all vulnerable groups - be they children, older people, young people, women, or people with disabilities.
The Inclusion Charter: Five steps to imparial humanitarian response
The result of this collaboration is the Inclusion Charter, which identifies five steps to impartial humanitarian response for the most vulnerable. The Inclusion Charter attempts to set out the more integrated approach needed to succeed in humanitarian responses. The Inclusion Charter calls for the recognition of the needs of different groups and the progression towards fully inclusive humanitarian response through five key steps:
- Participation: engaging with all affected people, including the most marginalised, to ensure that their views are reflected in all aspects of the response.
- Data: collecting fully disaggregated data for different groups of people in order to understand the scale of different needs.
- Funding: working with donors to ensure that the needs of different groups are recognised and funding is allocated accordingly.
- Capacity: developing the knowledge and skills of humanitarian actors to help them identify the needs of marginalised groups and deliver an appropriate response.
- Coordination: working to ensure that coordination between humanitarian organisations guarantees the needs of all affected people are met.
The necessity for the Inclusion Charter is clear. In a report by Handicap International and HelpAge International on the Syrian Crisis it identified 30% of refugees in Jordan and Lebanon have specific needs of which one in five is affected by physical, sensory or intellectual impairment. Refugees affected by impairment, injury or chronic disease are twice as likely as the general refugee population to report signs of psychological distress.
In a financial study conducted by HelpAge International that looked at more than 16,000 proposed humanitarian projects between 2010 and 2014, the findings were even starker: less than one per cent had any activity specifically targeting older people. To put this into perspective, for the Nepal Earthquake 16% of those affected were older people and in the Japanese Tsunami it was 56%. For the current conflict in Ukraine, 67% of those affected are older people.
Leave No One Behind
The Leave No One Behind agenda has helped put the spotlight on the marginalised groups that the Inclusion Charter targets. One reason for the popularity of the Sustainable Development Goals was because their drafters overtly grasped the wide appetite for a broader concept of inclusion than the traditional "Vulnerable Group" approach. This broader understanding of and approach to inclusion is very well highlighted by the ODI video that David Cameron used at the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals emphasising the needs of all marginalised groups, including girls, people with disabilities and older people.
The World Humanitarian Summit is hugely welcome. It has to be engaged with and embraced. It has core themes and objectives that cannot be disputed - people centric, end and prevent conflict, safeguard humanity. But it must begin the change process that is needed within the sector to ensure humanitarian action evolves.
We need to emerge from our silos, gain confidence that taking a broader approach to inclusion will not undermine agency focus, or brand. The two days in Istanbul next week will not deliver the end result but will hopefully provide the impetus that key stakeholders within the sector require to initiate further change. Part of this change has to be the commitments and actions included within the Inclusion Charter if we really want to Leave No One Behind...

This year's football season, it's all about the quarterback
Michael Vick returns to the NFL and lands in Philadelphia. What does this mean for the 2009 Eagles? QB battles surrounded the league this preseason, are teams focusing on QB's as that 'it' factor that will earn them a trip to the Superbowl? The NFL season is just around the corner, my fantasy football roster will be laid out on the table as well as these questions in this issue of... The River Journal. Buh nah nuh, buh nah nuh. (That's the sounds from Sportscenter in my imaginary newscasting room that surrounds my laptop and I as I write this story.)
Okay first things first. Obviously the biggest news this past month has been the Eagles and the risk they took when they signed former Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick. Let's get one thing straight, Philadelphia is Donovan's team, it has been for the past decade and it will be for a while to come. However, McNabb has had a little history with injuries and has missed several games because of them. Vick still has the talent, that will never go away and even if he only has half of what he used to, it's still more than half of most of the starting quarterbacks in this league.
The thing that shocked me about Vick going to the Eagles wasn't what he could do for that team, or how he could hurt that team, it was the fact that nine of the league's 32 teams could be starting a new quarterback this year, with three of them potentially being rookies. How did those nine teams all pass on Vick? I understand that the risk is high, but the reward could be greater. Oh, and did I mention he was cheap? $1.6 million for this first year with the Eagles which none of that is guaranteed. That's merely a percentage of what he made with the Falcons. The biggest concern for me is his chance of being injured. When you miss this much time away from the game you miss what it's like to play in a full length NFL season, the wear and tear that it puts on your body and the strength and stamina needed to survive for 16 long weeks. That is the only thing that I think will affect his ability to perform like he used to.
Like I said before, there are nine teams that could possibly be starting a new quarterback this year. Three of them could possibly be rookies. It's easy to say that defense really does win championships, but quarterbacks win championship games. Every team in the NFL is looking for that franchise quarterback who can be the last peice of the puzzle. Which is why Minnesota coach Brad Childress couldn't say no to Brett Favre. He is an established franchise quarterback who is more reliable than the two that Minnesota was juggling back and forth last year.
The Jets forked out the big bucks for Mark Sanchez who hasn't even had a chance to prove himself in the league and is still my number one pick for biggest bust of the season.
Once a team finds their franchise quarterback, it's just about keeping him there. Contract extensions like you've seen to Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger over the last two years were to ensure that they get to keep their franchise quarterbacks. Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was by far the most expensive free agent transaction this offseason but will he be the one who can get theRedskins over the edge? Don't coun't on it. They are going to need a reliable quarterback in order to succeed in this league.
Fantasy football is a little different story when it comes to your franchise player. I believe that running backs are the 'it' factor when choosing your first round pick for your fantasy team. My draft day isn't for another week but I'm going to try and lock up players like Adrian Peterson, Matt Forte and Michael Turner before I go for Ben Roethlisberger or Peyton Manning. Wide receivers come next and you can't overlook players like Randy Moss, Santonio Holmes and Roddy White. I'd look to avoid players like Terrell Owens and T.J. Houshmandzadeh because they can't catch passes with quarterbacks who can't throw them. Defenses you gotta look at the top, and you can't say the top without following it with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Afterwards I'll look for tight ends and kickers. Heath Miller is still my favorite tight end, but that's just because he wears the black and gold.
Next month we'll discuss the first couple weeks of the regular season and how upset the Jets are for spending so much money on a quarterback that they're going to sit after he throws 14 consecutive interceptions. Tune in next time to, Sportscenter. Buh nah nuh, buh nah nuh.

5. This one is my favorite.You would need to be certain, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that your crew of 19 will successfully board their respective targets, even though, they were all arab looking, with arab names, some on terrorist watch lists, and were carrying concealed weapons (box cutters). You would need to be sure that none of them will fail to pass the airport security checks. If just one of them fails, the whole plan could just collapse. So 19...why 19? Does it make sense to have odd number of hijackers for an even number of planes? Was one of the planes easier to hijack than the rest and needed fewer guys to control it?
Rather than go through each of your 7 points I will just play with this one for a while,
First of all terrorist watch lists were not the same as they were after 9/11, the lists they were on were not circulated correctly between departments, the terrorists were on the state departments TIPOFF list which the FAA did not have access to. The fact that they were Arabs holds is of no significance however several were selected for CAPPS screaming, it was also quite easy before 9/11 to get on a plane with a box cutter.
On the issue of why 19, well there was supposed to be 20 hijackers however Ramzi Bin al-Shibh (others have been named as the 20th hijacker) was unable to attain a American visa so they made do with 19.

Not everybody, because nobody took the fall but Osama...what you are saying are dead letters on a screen. OS apologists just shrug shoulders and say "incompetence"...which means..."not guilty".
What do you mean? There is a protocol for checking persons before allowing them in to the country. There is a protocol for dealing with hijackers. There is a protocol also for arresting the accused and having them tried for the crime for which they are accused of.
There are protocols for everything. Protocol for filling forms, for applying for jobs, for putting out fires...there are protocols for plethora of things. Protocol means...prepared response to a predictable situation. Hijacking airplanes is certainly predictable...as was 1000 times shown...and I hate to quote it again...but here it is...Operation Northwood. Claiming that such an event was somehow out of the realm of predictability...is IMO...looking the other way.
But sure...we can argue about specifics...since one of the Hijackers wore orange shorts...that somehow excludes this event from being resolved with protocol. There is a protocol for hijacked airplanes...and whatever the outcome of the hijacking is...protocols were not followed.
I do actually. Human behavior is more or less very predictable. Where I don't have faith is institutions...because they are run by the money...not morality.
The 9/11 Commission itself was incredibly critical of government, agencies and institutions, describing "deep institutional failings", "failure of imagination" and a lack of organisation.

In that case why fly planes into them?
If it was a controlled demolition just "pull it " and down come both of the towers with every single person inside with no chance whatsoever of anybody evacuating the buildings?

Excellant! Bravo!
Why waste time with remote controlled jets.
Just pick a few bad guys in positions to access explosives.
Kill the bad guys and leaves their bodies in to buildings with allah notes.
Set off the explosives.

UC Berkeley: 5 charged in baton-jabbing protest
Five people have been charged in connection with an Occupy protest at UC Berkeley in November that attracted national attention after a YouTube video showed police jabbing their batons at screaming students.
The Alameda County district attorney's office charged four students and a professor last week with misdemeanor resisting arrest and other crimes, Teresa Drenick, a spokeswoman for the office, said Monday.
The charges stem from a Nov. 9 protest that attracted thousands of students to Sproul Plaza to protest UC Berkeley officials' decision to remove tents from the steps of the administration building.
When campus police and Alameda County sheriff's deputies moved in, they jabbed batons into the midsections of protesters trying to prevent them from reaching the tents. Thirty-nine people were arrested.
Some of the defendants said they were upset that prosecutors had filed charges after Chancellor Robert Birgeneau said officials would not seek disciplinary action against those arrested.
The charges "seem odd, given the evidence of what I think was excessive force and irregular arrest procedures," said English Professor Celeste Langan, 54, one of those charged. A video of the protest showed police grabbing her by the hair and yanking her to the ground.
Drenick said she couldn't comment on why Langan and the others had been charged.
"What is brought to us for purposes of review is the evidence gathered by the police officers," she said.
Charged with resisting arrest were Langan and UC Berkeley students Jasper Bernes, 37, Ricardo Gomez, 22, Ramon Quintero, 25, and Zakary Habash, 21. Some were also charged with misdemeanor blocking a public right of way and failing to disperse.
They are scheduled to be arraigned later this month in Alameda County Superior Court.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
The worst break-up I've endured was at the hands of my then-boyfriend of nearly two years.
He was an artist and a narcissist. He was so obsessed with himself and his ink pens that by the time we were splitting I was the least important or interesting thing in his life. I was merely a need-fulfillment device to service his ego and sex drive.
When I asked to have my needs met, it became time for me to go.
It wasn't always like this. Our relationship started like a fairy tale, if fairy tales were full of delicious sex and heady hours-long conversations. Talks in which he confessed that he'd never felt about anyone like he did about me, that I was the only person who truly understood him.
It was swoony and sweet. He made me feel like the only girl in the world, like I'd found my soulmate. It was dizzying.
Then once I was trapped — living with him, our finances co-mingled and alienated from my friends — that fairy tale ended and my life became a horror movie.
Sex was replaced by withheld intimacy. Now the only talks we had were arguments that ended with us sleeping separately. Talks that he would deny had occurred the next morning.
Was I going crazy?
He started telling me about other girls. We were polyamorous, so this shouldn't have been a problem, except whenever I tried to date someone else, he found a way to sabotage it, leaving me monogamous and increasingly lonely as he tossed women in my face.
But when I tried to talk to him about this or any other problem, he would tell me I was making it all up. The gaslighting was so intense I didn't know what was real and what wasn't.
Then he met a woman while on a trip to Texas and became smitten. At first, I was thrilled for him. She seemed awesome: perfect for him and the sort of lady I'd love to get to know. Finally, I thought, he's getting the idea of doing poly right.
It wasn't long before he started using her good qualities against me, poking at my insecurities by casually mentioning how successful, smart and confident she was, with her list of publications and history of performing on stage. I was losing my mind and what little self-confidence I had left.
I knew I was being replaced. What made it the hardest was that it didn't need to be that way. I'd have loved to meet his new crush and become besties. But it was more important to him to play us against one another while accusing me of not being truly poly and of being jealous and crazy for asking for some of his attention. You know, since we lived together and all.
I turned my sadness into anger and started the conversation I knew would be the end of us.
Thus began the month-long, on-again off-again, argument about whether should I stay or go. With any other partner, I would have looked for a new apartment after the first break-up talk. He wasn't so easy to shake.
The sex and faux intimacy he had lured me in with was the best I'd had at that point. But the make-up sex he doled out to get me more hopelessly hooked on him was like crack.
Just when I thought we had reached a truce he said, "I'm leaving."
"For the night?" I asked, my heart pounding so hard I could barely hear his response. I felt sure if he left I would die right then.
"For good. And stop being melodramatic." He said when my tears flowed. "You know I've got a project to work on. I've gotta go."
That's when I begged him to stay.
I didn't think I'd ever be the type of girl to beg a man not to leave. To curl up in a ball in my room sobbing, feeling like my heart had been trampled on, pleading, "Don't go, please, not right now, I don't feel safe."
The knowing we were over was a relief. I just couldn't handle us ending this way, this abruptly. He had built himself up so high in our relationship and broken me down so low I really did think I would die if he left.
He turned his back on me, slammed the front door and walked away. His "art" was more important than making sure I would be OK.
Now I know his leaving had nothing to do with a deadline. He left furious at me for holding him up because he needed to get away to call his other woman for a phone date. My emotional needs were keeping him from getting his flirt on and he'd finally had it.
I didn't find this out until much later. After the maybe-we-can-be-friends stage. And the him-refusing-to-let-me-out-of-the-lease stage. And the rubbing-the-new-girl-in-my-face-when-she-moved-to-Portland-by-coming-to-every-event-he-would-never-go-to-with-me stage.
I hated them. I hated his cruelty, hated her for having what I no longer did, hated myself for falling for him.
I hated that I didn't have the courage to warn the poor woman about what she was getting herself into. She would have been so deep in the fairy tale that she probably wouldn't have been able to listen, but I didn't even try. I left her to that narcissistic wolf.
They were everywhere for awhile, arm in arm. Portland, especially the literary scene, is microscopic, so they were impossible to avoid. I knew she must have heard by then how "crazy" I was, and I imagined them going home to have that amazing sex and intimacy we'd once had.
Then all of a sudden, she disappeared. He loomed in the background, continuing to show up to my reading events to try and upset me. But I didn't see her anymore.
I was too focused on my own recovery to worry too hard about her but I had a pang of dread. He'd broken her too, hadn't he?
Just when I'd almost forgotten about them both, she sent me a message thanking me for an essay I had written about his abuse. It floored me, her bravery to break the silence between us and to voice gratitude for knowing she hadn't been alone.
He had done it to her too and she was back in Texas recovering, so glad to know that she wasn't as crazy as he had made her believe. My essay was written evidence of his M.O.
I wrote back a polite message, wishing her well and apologizing for what he'd done, thinking that would be that. We were broken women separated by many miles. It was a shame, but it was over. It wasn't like we were friends.
Except when she returned to Portland. It was only a matter of time before we ran into one another. We circled the edges of several literary events, not speaking until it became ridiculous.
One night, bold on wine, I walked up and said, "I figured I'd finally say hello."
I was afraid she would hate me for re-opening our shared wound, but her face settled on a half-smile. "I'm so glad you did. I didn't want to bother you or know if you wanted to talk."
"I had the same thoughts about you but decided it was silly."
Both of us tried not to get teary as we hugged, then hugged again, vowing to have drinks sometime soon and connect. And when we did it was like two war veterans sharing stories of the battlefield.
"He did that to you too? That bastard!"
"He said that about me? I never did that."
At first all we talked about was him as we made sense of our stories and where we fit in his lies; slowly ironing out the timeline to find the reality.
But as time went on, we cared less about those times and more about making our own stories. Stories of going to book readings and eating tacos and laughing in the erotica section of Powell's books. He's the reason we met, but he's by far the least interesting thing we have in common.
We now we talk about book deals (we both have one!), show up to one another's readings, and compare notes about crushes. She's a great lady to have around.
As hard as that man tried to break us both, he instead created a greater bond between the two women he tried to keep apart.
Now I don't think of it as the worst break-up I went through; I think of it as the craziest way I ever met a good friend.

Since its founding in 1981, the ACCME has focused on setting and maintaining accreditation requirements that are relevant to physicians' lifelong learning needs and responsive to changes in the health care environment. The purpose of the ACCME accreditation requirements is to ensure that CME is independent, based on valid content, and contributes to health care improvement for patients and their communities.
Promoting Educational Excellence and Independence in CME: The ACCME develops and updates its accreditation requirements through a deliberative process that includes reviewing and analyzing relevant research and obtaining feedback from multiple constituents, including accredited providers. There are three parts to the ACCME accreditation requirements: the Accreditation Criteria, the ACCME Standards for Commercial SupportSM, and the ACCME policies. For your convenience, we have created a compilation of the accreditation requirements in one document. The PDF includes the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support: Standards to Ensure Independence in CME ActivitiesSM, and the ACCME Policies. A PDF version of only the Standards for Commercial Support, designed for your easy reference in two-column format with a cover page, is available here.
The Accreditation Criteria
Released in 2006, the Accreditation Criteria are based on a learner-centered, continuous improvement model of CME. The Accreditation Criteria call on accredited providers to offer educational activities that address physicians' real-world practice needs, whether their scope of practice is in clinical care, research, health care administration, or other areas of medicine. The Criteria state that CME programs should be designed to change either physicians' competence, by teaching them strategies for translating new knowledge into action, or physicians' performance (what they actually do in practice), or patient outcomes. Accredited providers must also evaluate their programs' effectiveness in achieving these goals.
The Accreditation Criteria, which incorporate the updated 2004 Standards for Commercial SupportSM: Standards to Ensure Independence in CME Activities, were created to position the CME enterprise as a strategic asset to the quality improvement and patient safety imperatives of the US health care system. They were designed to align with emerging continuing professional development systems such as the American Board of Medical Specialties Maintenance of Certification® (MOC) and the Federation of State Medical Boards Maintenance of Licensure (MOL) initiatives, and hospital accreditation requirements such as The Joint Commission standards.
The Accreditation Criteria are divided into three levels. To achieve Provisional Accreditation, a two-year term, providers must comply with all Criteria (1, 2, 3, and 7–12). Providers seeking full Accreditation or reaccreditation for a four-year term must comply with Criteria (1–13). To achieve Accreditation with Commendation, a six-year term, providers must comply with all Criteria.
The 2006 Accreditation Criteria are built upon two earlier sets of accreditation guidelines: the Seven Essentials, established in 1982, and the Essential Areas and Their Elements, or System98, released in 1998.
See the ACCME's Accreditation Criteria in their entirety.
ACCME Standards for Commercial SupportSM: Standards to Ensure Independence in CME Activities
The 2004 ACCME Standards for Commercial SupportSM: Standards to Ensure Independence in CME Activities (Accreditation Criteria 7–10) are designed to make ensure that CME activities are independent and free of commercial bias. The Standards impose stringent restrictions on CME providers' interactions with drug /device companies and other companies the ACCME defines as a commercial interest. The ACCME allows providers to accept company funding for CME activities, but prohibits any commercial influence, direct or indirect, over CME content.
Building on guidelines that the ACCME first issued in 1987 and formally adopted in 1992, the 2004 ACCME Standards for Commercial Support comprise six Standards: Independence, Resolution of Personal Conflicts of Interest, Appropriate Use of Commercial Support, Appropriate Management of Associated Commercial Promotion, Content and Format without Commercial Bias, and Disclosures Relevant to Potential Commercial Bias.
When making decisions about implementing the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, the ACCME says that CME providers must always defer to independence from commercial interests, transparency, and the separation of CME from product promotion. In other words, the purpose of CME must be to serve physicians' learning and practice needs and to promote public health.
Review the complete ACCME Standards for Commercial SupportSM.
ACCME Policies
ACCME policies supplement the Accreditation Criteria and the Standards for Commercial Support: Standards to Ensure Independence in CME Activities. These policies offer more specific guidelines on areas including CME program and activity administration, educational activity formats, and compliance with the Standards for Commercial Support. In some cases policies are developed to address emerging issues. Accredited providers must adhere to the ACCME policies that are relevant to their organizations, as well as to the Accreditation Criteria and the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support.

A large number of Mooks jump on the hero, pinning him down.
Usually it's a climactic battle scene. The hero is facing down dozens, no, hundreds, no, THOUSANDS of mooks. At first, the hero's doing well. He's smiting them one after another. But, then he begins to get tired, and first one, then another, then another and another and another leap onto him, dragging the poor guy to the ground.
Often, a bigger villain, such as the Big Bad or The Dragon, stands by and watches.
There are several ways that this scene can turn out:
Type A: The hero activates a super mode, has an epiphany, or otherwise becomes more badass. He explodes out of the pile, minions scattering to the four winds, and rises as an epic figure. At this point the fight might continue, or the mooks might run away.
Type B: The hero is killed at the bottom of the pile. (This one is pretty rare, actually.)
Type C: Similar to B, except that the hero is captured instead of killed. This can mean assimilation, frozen in stasis, knocked unconscious, or simply dragged off to a prison cell.
Type D: A more humorous version, the hero simply gets out of the dogpile. This may involve Offscreen Teleportation, with the hero suddenly appearing to the side somewhere (or even on top of the pile), before the mooks even realize that he's gone and they've just been mobbing each other.
In order to qualify as a Dog Pile of Doom, the hero should be completely covered in mooks. Just a couple of guys jumping on top of the hero is not enough to qualify. Have you ever dropped a piece of food on an anthill? It's something like that.
Differs from the glomp, because the glomp is a sign of affection (even though the victim might not like it). The Dog Pile of Doom is malicious, intended to kill or capture.
Often an Obligatory Joke whenever American football appears in fiction.
Technically, it doesn't have to be the hero at the bottom of the pile. A whole bunch of good guy civilian mooks jumping on the Big Bad would also count as a Dog Pile of Doom.
- Naruto attempts to do this to Zabuza in one episode, using his shadow clones. Unfortunately, Zabuza escapes, this being a Type A.
- Durarara!!: The Saikas tried this on Shizuo, who just lifted them up and tossed them off.
- In the Dragon Ball Z movie The Return of Cooler, both Vegeta and Goku are barely able to destroy one Metal Cooler, when they are overwhelmed by an army of them. After that, they were captured by Cooler. This makes it a Type C.
- In another Dragon Ball Z movie, Bardock: Father of Goku, Frieza's minions try a unique, mid-air variant on Bardock as he flies out of Planet Vegeta's atmosphere. Being a type A situation, it fails.
- Mooks have attempted this trope on Zoro of One Piece...with little success. In fact, Zoro's first display of badass was to block a dogpile of Marines — all armed with swords — with his Santoryu.
Zoro: The first one who moves... dies.
Marines: [thinking] He's so scary...
- Type C happens to Germany in the Axis Powers Hetalia movie.
- A filler episode of Bleach has this happen to Ichigo by a group of Hollows. Humorously, one is picking its teeth until Ichigo pulls a Type A and sends them flying.
- Played for drama in Berserk. During the Eclipse, when Guts sees the only other survivor of the massacre, his lover Casca, in the perverse grasp of some demons, he rushes in to save her from the swarm, but gets his arm caught in the jaws of a demon. Then, to make matters more horrifying, his former commander and friend Griffith, who was the one who enabled the Eclipse in order to become a demon lord, is reborn as the fifth member of the Godhand Femto, flies down and starts having his way with Casca. Desperate to save her, Guts resorts to hacking off his own arm with a broken sword in order to escape from the demon's grasp and continues his rampage... only to be telekinetically hurled back by Femto's power and then dogpiled by a mess of demons, mere feet away. And then he was Forced to Watch...
- A common tactic used by the Fang Clan of Fist of the North Star, it often results in both Type A and Type D whenever they met their doom by either Kenshiro or Rei.
- Zenigata has attempted this on Lupin III multiple times. Sometimes it even works.
- In the Transformers Victory episode "Attack! Leozack", Star Saber tries to fight off the Decepticons in his Jet Form, but gets piled on by Leozack, followed by the rest of the Dinoforce. Funny thing though, is that Leozack's the one getting crushed by their intense weight, while Star Saber simply breaks free by transforming.
- Subverted in Scott Pilgrim, during the fight with Lucas Lee's stunt team.
- This is a common occurrence in the comic Astérix.
- When Sal Buscema drew Spectacular Spider-Man in the 90's, he loved having fight scenes that depicted Type A.
- Supergirl:
- During the climax of Red Daughter of Krypton, several dozens of alien Diasporans leap onto the titular heroine◊, surrounding her everywhere and pinning her down. All they managed though was making the short-tempered Red Lantern Kryptonian teenager mad. Kara explodes out of the pile, shaking them off with several blasts of heat vision and her Red Ring◊.
- Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade: An army of Superior Girl's minions leap onto Supragirl -a Supergirl of an alternate timeline-. However she explodes out of them quickly.
- Type D occurs in Tin Tin Tintin in America. Tintin is falsely accused of being a bandit, and a group of yokels try to lynch him. After failing to do so repeatedly, they all descend on him in a dogpile, each wanting to be the next one to try. Tintin escapes by crawling out from underneath.
- We get a big one in The Mighty Thor, in which Thor and Captain America are under assault. Thor is separated from Mjölnir, and as Cap tries to get to it, he's dogpiled by a bunch of Grog's mooks. Unfortunately for said mooks, the Captain just happens to be worthy, resulting in a Type A outcome, followed shortly by a Curbstomp Battle.
- It's not uncommon for a mob of mooks to attempt this on a character like The Incredible Hulk or Superman so that the character can show off their Super Strength via a Type A.
- In one Knights of the Dinner Table story, Brian comes up with the idea of hiring a gang of ten NPC peasants to follow the party around and dogpile their enemies, exploiting a flaw in the melee-combat rules to give them an easy victory regardless of the foe's strength.
- Hope for the Heartless has the Horned King performing a Type A on the Mad Pack wolves.
- In the Disney version of Robin Hood, this is how the hero gets captured after his disguise is revealed at the archery tournament.
- Monsters, Inc.: George opens his locker and toys Sulley shoved in there earlier fall on him. Charlie calls another "2319" and CDA agents then burst out of the stalls and tackle George.
Charlie: 2319! We have a 2319!
George: (groaning) Oh, dear.
CDA Agents: Get him! (they bowl George over)
- The Matrix:
- Morpheus gets fairly well Type C'd in the original - after Smith beats him into submission, his human thugs surround Morpheus and beat him even though he's already on the ground.
- The Smiths do this to Neo in The Matrix Reloaded, leading to a Type A when Neo hurls them all off him.
- In Mars Attacks!, Byron takes on the Martians hand-to-hand in order to buy time for the others to escape. This appears to be a type B, but he later appears with no explanation as to how he survived. It's notable that in the original script, he did die.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze has a Type D. A group of mooks do the dogpile on Michelangelo, only for him to climb out and look at the pile of still attacking thugs and mutter, "pitiful."
- Cleon of The Warriors gets dogpiled at the gang conclave. It's Type B, above.
- It's hard to categorize in an area of animation, as it is technically an Eastern, non-anime animation, but the Hong Kong animated film Color Old Master Q has this happen with the eponymous protagonist in a martial arts match, when a trio of robbers pile on him and start beating him up... only for the scrawny old man to slip out of the Big Ball of Violence wearing only his underpants and leave the robbers punching his clothes.
- Strange Psycho Kinetic Strategy has a group of "nuns" attacking Lupin, hitting and kicking him. Lupin seems to easily slip out between their legs, while they're so intent on hitting him that they don't notice he's disappeared.
- The mall cops in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure use this method to apprehend Genghis Khan and Billy the Kid. (Not that any other way would have likely been feasible with those two...)
- Set up magnificently in Now You See Me during Act II of the Four Horsemen's tour. As part of the act, several volunteer audience members are hypnotized to attack the "Quarterback" when they hear the Trigger Word "Freeze". They return to their seats and the show goes on. However, when the Horsemen conclude their performance by publicly robbing their millionaire patron, Agent Rhodes moves in to apprehend them. Being a law enforcement officer in pursuit of fleeing suspects, he naturally yells, "Freeze!" Cue one dogpiled cop and four escaping Horsemen. Hilariously, The Reveal that Rhodes himself is none other than the Horsemen's Man Behind the Man implies that he willingly sprung that trap on himself.
- In the prologue of the novelization of Robotech, the Invid are attacking a Zentraedi outpost, where a variation occurs. Dolza, who is at the base at the time, says that the base would undoubtedly be covered completely in Invid mecha "Like a lethal blanket of death."
- In Friday by Robert A. Heinlein, the eponymous Friday is captured in this way. Later, "Boss" Baldwin says, "You killed two and injured three before they piled enough bodies on you to hold you down by sheer weight."
- The eponymous character of Brian Jacques' Martin the Warrior is mobbed by mooks when he attempts to help Feldoh's elderly father, who is being badly treated by the vermin overseers (as they are all three slaves at this point). Martin is literally described as having "disappeared" amid the mass, and the result is a Type C pile — dragged off to worse imprisonment than before.
- In HIVE, Raven gets taken down this way by ninja robot assassins. No, really. It's really the only acceptable way for a character as badass as she to get taken out.
- In The Children of Húrin, The Men of the House of Húrin stand as rearguard for the retreating elf army of Gondolin after the defeat of the Elves and their allies in the "Battle of Unnumbered Tears." Húrin and his household stand alone at the last until all his men and his brother Huor lie dead with corpses piled around him. Still Húrin fights on, when his own weapons are lost. His shield is broken. Húrin takes a two handed axe from an Orc-Captain and fights on. Eighty trolls of the guard of the demon-lord Balrog Gothmog fall before Húrin and each time he sings out, in Elvish, "Day shall come again!" The axe melts in his hands and still he fights on. Finally the Orcs dogpile Húrin and overwhelm him because while he can cut off their limbs, too many of their claws and arms remain attached to him and he is overwhelmed and taken captive (type C above). This is a classic example of You Shall Not Pass! and Heroic Sacrifice for Húrin and Despair Event Horizon and Start of Darkness for his family and his people.
- In CSI, "Unfriendly Skies", a victim of the week dies in a Type B when he starts acting erratically on a plane and a large number of passengers dogpile him. They thought he was drunk or drugged, but he really had undiagnosed encephalitis, which combined unfavorably with altitude and air pressure changes.
- Iron Fist. Type A. Danny and Davos are dogpiled by all of the mooks fighting them in a hallway and somehow knock them all away.
- A common spot in multi-man matches featuring The Giant, The Big Guy or "Monsters". Multiple wrestlers will swarm on the big man, usually leading to a Type A situation as the big man will throw them all off and start kicking ass.
- This seemed to be the bread and butter for attacks carried out by The Nexus during their reign of terror in WWE during the summer of 2010.
- American Football. There will often be one guy who gets dogpiled by everyone else because he has the ball.
- In Rugby, this is called a Maul.
- In God of War III, enemies will frequently attempt this on Kratos, leading to Type A.
- A cutscene in [PROTOTYPE] has the basic infected do this to Alex. They get hit by Type A as he busts out the Armor and Blade powers. In gameplay, you can do something similar with the Knuckle Shockwave and a decent-sized group of infected.
- In Sengoku Basara 4, some groups of enemy soldiers will attempt to do this. Since the character you're controlling is always a One-Man Army, this leads to Type A a moment of button mashing later (assuming you don't just swat them away before they can even land on you).
- In Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, one of Scorpion's fatalities is to teleport the opponent into Hell and dogpile them with countless doppelgangers of himself.
- Mario and Goombella pull a Type D at the start of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, leaving Lord Crump to be pummeled in their place.
- Mobs of enemies will often try this on Juliet in Lollipop Chainsaw (which results in Type A or Type B, depending on the player's actions), a clear case of Double Entendre considering the type of character she is.
- The average Mooks can dogpile you in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, prompting you to button-mash your way out, which will immediately defeat them. The funniest one is Kim's, who shrugs as the enemies fly off her as if she had no idea what's going on.
- How It Should Have Ended: In their version of The Matrix Revolutions, Mr. Smith uses every single one of his billions of clones to dogpile and subdue Neo.
- The Order of the Stick has Belkar and Hobgoblins, where the Hobgoblins are helping to establish that Belkar is, in fact, A Sexy, Shoeless, God of War.
- In Homestuck, Dave Strider busts out from beneath a pile of puppets that land on him.
- Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff riffs on the trope's use in American football.
Hella Jeff: AHA, the sport pile doesn't stop from getting taller.
- Genocide Man: Lola Lamb finally bites it under one of these, her corpse found buried under dead and injured Senegal soldiers.
- Transformers Prime: Optimus and Ratchet are fighting an army of robot zombies, when this happens. Optimus bursts out and saves Ratchet.
- Danny Phantom: when Danny steals the exo-suit and fights the ghost army in Reign Storm, the ghost skeletons do this to Danny before he breaks out.
- Looney Tunes: Bugs Bunny pulls a Type D, naturally. He is jumped by several large dogs in an alley in the episode "A Hare Grows In Manhattan". They attempt to dog-pile him, but in the end, it shows Bugs jumping up and down on top of the pile, leaving the leader of the dogs at the bottom.
- In It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown, during the Homecoming Game every down where CB's team has the ball ends up in a big pileup, usually with Charlie on the bottom. Including when he attempts to kick the ball, misses because Lucy pulls it away, and then they jump on him. This would be a roughing the kicker penalty at minimum if Charlie weren't such a Butt-Monkey.
- Superman: The Animated Series:
- Several mooks try this on a young lady... which leads to the reveal that this young lady, is, in fact, Supergirl in her first appearance.
- Superman unfortunately gets piled on more often than his cousin, but they always end well in a Type A:
- Mutated bacteria in "Monkey Fun".
- Apokolips' demons in "Apokolips...Now, Part 2".
- There are other TV series and movies where Superman gets dogpiled by:
- Mutant animals from Legion of Super-Heroes, episode "Timber Wolf".
- Brainiac's robotic drones from the movie, Superman Unbound
- A particularly hilarious example occurs in Codename: Kids Next Door episode Operation I.T. Numbuh 362 gets tired of being the supreme commander, and starts up a game of tag where whoever is "it" by noon gets to replace her. Strangely, nobody actually wants this position, so everyone begins to run and try to escape, however, once Numbuh 13 gets tagged, everyone around him immediately dog-piles onto him, screaming, "ANYONE BUT HIM!" because they'd rather tag themselves than let him become their leader.
- My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
- On "Lesson Zero", a doll gets turned into an Apple of Discord * . Big Macintosh has it, and he gets dogpiled by nearly every background pony. Type A then occurs as Big Macintosh literally sends them flying over the horizon after it's taken by the Mayor. In fact, it doesn't even really work in the first place; Big Mac is clearly standing on the bottom half of the dogpile, and the top half can only cover him up to his neck.
- In episode "A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2", Changelings as fake Applejacks pile up on the real Applejack until Twilight Sparkle blasts them away and reels the real one towards her.
- In the Steven Universe episode "Watermelon Steven", the Steven Melons start doing this when they turn against the Crystal Gems in an overzealous attempt to "defend" Steven. Garnet does the Type A reaction a few times, but the Steven Melons keep overwhelming her with sheer numbers, while Amethyst suffers Type C.
- Star vs. the Forces of Evil:
- In the episode "Wand to Wand", Ludo picks a brawl fight with all the large rats in the bar. Eventually he gets overpowered by all the rats piling up on him, bashing him continuously until Ludo breaks free with his rage-powered wand.
- In "Game of Flags", Star gets dog piled by all the members of her family in a game of Flags. They are blasted away by Star's mother, Moon Butterfly.
- Ben 10:
- In the episode "Divided We Stand", Ben as Ditto did a Type C on Dr. Animo while floating on water. Now how did they not sink from the accumulating weight of the pileup?
- Ben 10: Alien Force gets more dog piles than it's predecessor, though the victim isn't Ben:
- In "Grounded", Kevin gets pinned down by DNAliens before Ben's father chased them away with his rifle.
- Kevin gets mobbed again by DNAliens in "Birds of a Feather", and managed to pull a Type D before Gwen does a Type A for him.
- In "The Final Battle: Part 2", Albedo as Negative Ultimate Humungousaur gets mobbed by Vilgax's army of Bioids as Humungousaurs. He did a Type A once, but then got overpowered with a Type C.
- In Ben 10: Omniverse, Ben becomes the center of almost all dog piles in this series.
- In "It Was Them", Ben as Rath gets mobbed by mutant ants but Rook saves him with a Type D, and RIGHT AFTER the save, he gets mobbed again until he pulls a Type A by transforming into Crashhopper.
- In "Ben Again", Eon gets dog piled and pummeled by Ben as Ditto clones, only to pull a Type D by... shrinking?
- In "Charmed, I'm Sure", Ben as Swampfire gets dog piled by Mutant Pumpkins only to miraculously pull a Type A.

- We Bare Bears: In "Icy Nights", Ice Bear gets dog-piled by a small army of fighting robots. When his beloved Roomba is destroyed, Ice Bear goes into an Unstoppable Rage and throws them all off.
- This is the method that Japanese Honeybees use to kill Asian Giant Hornets scouts. After luring the hornet towards the nest, a whole bunch of them jump on the hornet and literally cook it to death. (The honeybees survive as they have a higher temperature tolerance than the hornet)
- A common tactic during the crusades that allowed Saracen warriors to overwhelm the "Christian Walking Towers" a.k.a. fully armored knights.
- Even Nature occasionally gets in on the comedic potential of a Type D: check 1:16-1:24. (Yakety Sax version chosen to avert Nightmare Fuel for ophidiophobes.)

Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed, in some cases shocking telegraph operators.[5] Telegraph pylons threw sparks and telegraph paper spontaneously caught fire.[6] Some telegraph systems continued to send and receive messages despite having been disconnected from their power supplies.[7]

The Franchise Owner's most trusted news source
As an advocate for small businesses, the Coalition of Franchisee Associations (CFA) is pleased to announce its support of pro-franchisee legislation unveiled today for the upcoming Florida legislative session. Sponsored by state Sen. Jack Latvala (R-16) and Rep. Jason Brodeur (R-28), the Protect Florida Small Business Act will level the playing field for owners of franchised small businesses and provide legal protections that will lead to more economic growth and jobs in communities across the state.
"CFA applauds Sen. Latvala and Rep. Brodeur for their introduction of the Protect Florida Small Business Act. Franchise owners in Florida invest, employ and pay taxes in their communities. Increasing the protections for these local businesspeople creates an environment that gives incentive for future investments," CFA Chairman Keith Miller said.
"More than 400,000 jobs in Florida are directly tied to the hard work and efforts of franchised small-business owners," explained Latvala. "Currently these small businessmen and women have no real protection if the national corporation drops them as a franchise holder. This is not a level playing field, this is wrong, and it must change."
If enacted, the Protect Florida Small Business Act will provide additional safeguards for franchisees, including protecting against unjust terminations, unfair restrictions on sales and transfers and unsubstantiated non-renewal of franchise agreements.
"As a legislator, I want to continue to make sure Florida has the most business-friendly climate in America. As a chamber of commerce president, I'm particularly sensitive to the threats against small-business owners from out-of-state companies," said Brodeur. "I want to be sure that there is a level playing field for all business owners in Florida, whether they are a small independent shop or a franchisee."
For more information on the Protect Florida Small Business Act, visit www.protectFLbusiness.com.
Public Profile
The CFA promotes legislation, which strengthens the franchise business model for all stakeholders and protects the hard-earned equity of franchised business owners.
Please read the Universal Franchisee Bill of Rights to get an idea of what we are fighting for. If you like it, endorse it.
Representing over 34,000 franchisees who own over 83,000 businesses, which employ over 1.4 million individuals, the CFA brings together the largest and most reputable independent franchisee associations to form an organization with a mission "to leverage the collective strengths of franchisee associations for the benefit of the franchisee community." The CFA, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is committed to providing vital support and assistance to the franchisee community at large. To learn more about the organization, please visit thecfainc.com.
Misty Chally is the Executive Director of the Coalition of Franchisee Associations. She is based out of Washington, D.C. You can call her at (202) 416-0270 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi dear readers !
Today, let's talk about my least favorite from China Glaze Anchors Away LE ! Well, in fact, it's the only one I didn't like at all as it is.
The only reasons are the following: it's sheer; it's a yellowish gold. I don't like sheer polish, and I don't like golden/yellow on me, that's that simple :p
I didn't like the shade and style, but I have to say that the quality is as good as the other shades from the collection. So if you like that kind of colour, don't hesitate. If like me, you prefer something less yellow, just wait for my swatches of White Cap ;)
This is 3 coats, it dried fast but I removed it right after I took the pics :p
In the pic below you can admire how shiny and reflecting the glass flecks are … This is lovely !
As it was very sheer, I thought it would be good to see it layered over other shades. I don't remember all the colors I used, but they are classical: black, white, soft pink, purple and teal.
I think it looks very good over pink and teal ! What are your favorites ?
Next time I'll show you his little brother, White Cap. One of the best layering polish I've ever had ^^
Stay tuned :)

How many dogs to change a light bulb?
There are 14 of these altogether.
Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
Rottweiler: Make me
Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
Lab: Oh, me, me! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
Chihuahua: We don't need no steenkeeng light bulb.
Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Candy Girl Video features hot young amateur models in solo, softcore, girl-girl and even some hardcore toy play video & image scenes. The content here appears to be original, but can likely be found on DVD as well. Currently there are close to 330 scenes and 400 image/video cap galleries with custom requests and new updates each week.
Original Amateur Scenes.
Sure these videos may go straight to DVD but these are original scenes featuring many amateurs and solo website girls in toy play, girl-girl, and even some fetish video. Categories feature content like panty teasing/stuffing, lingerie, bikinis, up-skirt, camel-toes, pissing, balloon knot, booty shaking and more. There is certainly a good amount of pussy-centric things to see.
HD Video Scenes.
Newest scenes offer HD formatting and specs with decent quality bitrate speeds. They're sized up to 1080p and look really nice, offering plenty f great pussy close-ups, and etc.
Other Good Stuff:
No Date Stamps or Clear Update Schedule.
There are no date stamps on any of the scenes here nor is there a clear update schedule. New content does appear to be added, and the number of scenes does appear to be growing, but it would be nice if they offered members with a more clear update schedule plus date stamps.
Older Videos Don't Offer HD Specs.
The older scenes are not offered in high definition. They max out at 720 x 480 and 2200k. These scenes don't look bad, but they're not nearly as sharp as the newer movies.
Minor Negatives:
Quality, fun scenes at a nice price but room for improvement still.
For the price I admit you really can't go wrong with this fun site. While its not exactly hardcore, it is unique in that it features cute girls stuffing their pussy with pantys, making close-up camel toe shots, pissing, teasing, and even some behind the scenes. There is room for improvement, and I'd really love to see them start offering date stamps for updates, but this is a fun, original site.
