Gender is not devised on one clear contrast - it is absolutely dependent on societal conditioning. Of a certain time, place, culture and the dominating belief. For instance what is considered 'feminine' and 'masculine' in 2007 is not the same as the view 50 years ago - nor what it will be in 50 years from now. And what is considered masculine and feminine at present in Turkey is not the same as in Australia or Brazil or Japan.
Moreover even if we were to decide on some prevailing description for 'masculine' and 'feminine' themselves (as they stand currently), there are different applicable levels - certain women have what we consider 'masculine' traits (given by the dominating view) and some men more 'feminine'. And that is certainly not indicative of sexuality either - contrary to the stereotype.
I think people are interchanging 'sex' with gender - and there is even an argument there that sex definitions are totally constructed by ourselves. Because people desire and 'need' an opposite.
I don't know how this totally ties in with Blue Drop. It's v unlikely that the animators cared about all this - but as an 'idea' it is totally feasible that the Arume do not view the outfit in the same way 'we' do. It may even be the done thing, a 'true' commander outfit. People are applying their own societal conditions of gender and 'sexiness' - and they don't apply so clearly to a race which removes the constraints of gender behaviour.
Afterall, all the aliens are female - but not all of them are 'feminine'.

Curiousity got the better of me and I checked out this already infamous Tenshi no Bokura. It's positively weird that it has so much nudity and sex plus furigana. Oh well, this gives me a chance to get at least part of the plot, so I won't complain.
And what we refer as feminine is largely a representation of the ideal or the tradition for a woman, how she is supposed to look, what she is supposed to do. So in a race of only females, the same look and behaviour might not have the same name because it would be like calling femininity humanity but since the Blue Drop aliens seem very much interested in sex the behaviour and looks we call feminine are probably very appealing to at least some of the aliens.
I was writing this for too long, I see Diodati has already expressed what I was desperately trying to find words for, so I will just agree with Diodati's post.

And they seem to have extremely strong libidos. I wouldn't be surprised if their purpose on earth has a lot to do with human females.
Just look at episode 3 of the anime. They're obviously feminine, but they seem to have a spectrum of that in which some individuals are closer to feminine human women in manner and appearance and others are closer to more tomboy-ish or butch women. It would also seem that these two groups form two pseudo-genders, with their dispositions polarizing, to some extent, their interests in other Arume. Whether this is the norm or just the case with the one couple we saw featured remains to be seen, however.

Weird... I could've sworn I made a post here earlier today

Well, since there is no manga forum for Blue Drop, and hardly anyone who isn't following the anime even knows it exists, I guess it was inevitable the manga talk would end up here. Not sure how the spoiler policy works, since the only thing about the anime that can be spoiled by the manga is that
Spoiler for just in case not everyone knows:
This thread has been moving at quite a clip lately, though, and the series seems somewhat popular, so maybe it'll get its own subforum.
As for talking about the anime... well... it's been a while since the third episode was subbed. The main plot is only just now starting to pick up, so there's really not much to talk about. Notice that this thread exploded once people became aware of the manga

Just for myself, I wish everyone would stop it. I'm not reading the manga but I am watching the anime, and it's become impossible for anime viewers to read this thread withough getting spoiled from people posting info from the manga.
Please, stop.

I can't see any reason for manga spoilers not to be posted -- as long as they are within spoiler tags and labelled as "spoiler for manga."
This is especially so for Blue Drop, since the manga stories have very little to do with the story in the anime. But anything from the manga should definitely be scrupulously kept in spoiler tags.
I also think that anything that is on the official site (such as the timeline) should be allowed. That should go in spoilers, too, however, since viewing the official site is definitely optional.
It is really unfair to post anything outside of spoilers that could tell people what happens in the anime, or what the mangas say will happen in the anime's future. There are some threads I just can't read, since people put all kinds of spoilers -- even just broad hints -- outside of tags.

How about "BLUE DROP ~Tenshitachi no Gikyoku~ (Manga)"? link: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=56986
But then we need an Moderators job, to move some Manga stuff into it...

Hi folks. I have moved most of the posts that are discussing the manga from this thread to the manga thread Seska created in the Manga section of the forum. Please use that thread for further discussion of the manga. Regardless how the story progresses corresponding to the manga counterpart, any further manga discussions' taking place in the anime-only thread will be deleted from here on.

Things I liked: It is of simple design and there is no need for tools for assembly. It does not hurt your wallet to purchase it. Stores away easily and does not take up much room. It is very sturdy.
Things I would have changed: Not a thing.
What others should know: This is a luxury item worth having. Even I will not use it all the time, but it is there if I need it. My wife is going to make a little thicker pad and attach it with velcro, but it really is not needed. If you keep the adjustment so that the box sits flat and then sandbag it facing the opposite direction, you can use it for a rifle rest. I tried it, it does work in a pinch.

What others should know: For under $15 you can hardly make one that's as light, flexible, and easy to use. This product and my MTM four pistol case are really nice products.

Italian Meatball Sliders
Little burgers deliver big flavor as Italian Meatball Sliders show. Marinara sauce replaces the ketchup and basil serves as a sub for lettuce.
How to Make It
Preheat broiler to high.
Gently combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, being careful not to overmix. Divide beef mixture into 24 equal portions; gently shape each portion into a meatball (do not pack). Arrange rolls, cut sides up, on a heavy baking sheet; broil 30 seconds or until very lightly toasted. Remove roll tops from pan.
Arrange meatballs on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 3 minutes or until browned. Turn meatballs over; broil 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Arrange 2 meatballs on bottom half of each roll; top each slider with 1 cheese slice. Broil 1 minute or until cheese melts.
Place marinara sauce in a microwave-safe dish; cover and microwave at HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring once. Place two sliders on each of 6 plates; spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons sauce over each sandwich. Top each slider with 1 basil leaf, if desired, and 1 bun top.

It's finally time to dust off that grill again and start cooking outdoors. It's exciting, we know! But, before you get all fired up, it would be a wise idea to give some thought to grilling rubs. Just like with marinades, dry and wet rub recipes will bring a flavor to your dishes that you just couldn't get otherwise.
The last thing any of us we want is a dry, flavorless grilled chicken breast (steak, pork chop) when you could have one that's been spiced up with bright spices. So don't forget about rubs. Check out our wet and dry rub recipes; they're more than versatile, and will help you out all summer long.

Need a way to put those delicious strawberries to good use? Make strawberry mojitos! Just when I thought you couldn't perfect a mojito, I blended strawberries to add to it, and as I always say, "Fruit won't dilute" so add frozen fruit in place of the ice!
Blend strawberries in blender. In two glasses, place the quartered limes, mint and sugar in the bottom of each glass and muddle. (Use either a muddler or the bottom of a wooden spoon).
Place frozen fruit in each glass (as ice) on top of the muddled mixture. Add strawberry puree, rum and club soda. Stir well to combine then enjoy!

From The Gulf To Central Asia
Players In The New Great Game
Distributed for University of Exeter Press
432 pages | 9-1/10 x 6-1/10
The demise of the Soviet Union, and the emergence of independent republics in its wake, have had profound implications for the regions on its periphery. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Caucasus and Central Asia. The essays in this book explore the complex ways in which these republics have found both independence and a new regional identity in their relations with the neighbouring Middle East.
Religion, hydro-carbons, transportation needs and ethnic relations with the Gulf States have been rediscovered by the new republics, the study of which provides the basic subject matter for the book. The interests and activities of other regional powers are not excluded, with particular attention being given to the playing out of Russian, Turkish and American interests in countering the perceived rise of political Islam in the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Your body should be able to fit perfectly on the chair. The backrest should be at least a little higher than your shoulder so it also supports your shoulder when you lean back. Another thing to take into consideration is if the chair has features to control or change the height of the chair to fit the length of your leg from your knees to your feet. A chair with a roller is advantageous because it allows you to move around your desk when you need to move away to get something from behind you. Another advantage that you should consider in picking the right chair is being able to move your chair back or no t having to twist your body when you need to get something behind or beside you.
If your work requires you to sit behind a desk most of the time, one of your concerns is having a comfortable place to work in. This includes having an organized desk, comfortable chair, and spacious table. Having the right kind of chair is important especially if your work is stationary because sitting for a prolonged period of time can cause upper and lower back pains. Whether you are working at home or in an office, having the right kind of chair will help you last longer in your work, and if you have an incredibly uncomfortable chair you would not be as productive.

Jerry Lank
Jerry Lank, Mechanicsburg PA
Born 11/7/1938 and died 3/29/2017
He is survived by the love of his life, Mary, his wife of almost 52 years and children; daughter Rhonda Hebbard (David), son Jeffrey Lank (Tina) and daughter Joy Shill (Todd). He was so very proud of his two granddaughters Riley and Nia. He is also survived by his sister Yvonne Royster (Otis) of Chester, VA; sister-in-law Phyllis Lank; the cousin he loved like a sister, Carol Caruana and many nieces and nephews whom he adored. He was predeceased by his mom Jane Riley Arthur and his father Granville Lank, as well as his younger brother Gale Lank.
Jerry was a deeply passionate and fun-loving man. He was a huge fan of baseball, following the Nationals and Orioles, played in and coached many over 40 softball and baseball leagues, co-created and coached a baseball camp for deaf and hard-of-hearing children. He enjoyed watching NASCAR races with his family both on TV and at Dover Downs!
He was always known as 'Captain Jerry' among the boating crowd all along the Eastern Shore of Maryland. An expert captain, he was the one the marina would call to rescue boaters who were out to sea during a storm.
A super businessman and entrepreneur he retired from Getty Petroleum and later owned Aero Oil Company in New Oxford, PA. He was in sales all his life, and swears that everyone is always 'selling' something.
Jerry was a devoted Sertoman and a member of the Carlisle Sertoma Club. He was a past district governor and International Director for Sertoma Inc. He met many lifetime friends in that organization and always talked about the importance of getting involved and giving back to your community. "It is what you make it!"
A graduate of Snow Hill High School in Snow Hill, MD and Goldey Beacom College in Wilmington, DE, Jerry believed in education and hard work and taught his children through example.
His dynamic personality, bear hugs, big ol' belly laughs that could trigger the Richter Scale, and beautiful blue eyes will be deeply missed by all those who had the pleasure to know him.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Sertoma Fantasy Baseball Camp may be mailed to Capital Area Sertoma Club, 10 North Front Street, Suite B Wormleysburg, PA 17043.
The Sullivan Funeral Home is honored to serve the Lank family.
"Coach Jerry"
Jerry really was amazing and touched so many lives! I met him first many years as "Coach Jerry" at the Sertoma Baseball Camp for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing kids when my son (now 21) was first diagnosed with hearing loss. Through him, that camp gave terrified parents like me the opportunity to be around and get to know other kids and parents and to see what truly is possible! That camp had as much benefit for me in those early years as it did for my son, and I will always be grateful. God bless you all at this difficult time.
It is always a sad day when we lose someone we love and respect. Because of previous obligations, I will be unable to attend the
funeral. My thoughts and prayers are given to the family on their loss. I am delighted to be a member of Sertoma and was
very impressed with Jerry's involvement with Sertoma.
Condolences and neighborhood memories
Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. Reading Jerry's obituary is both sad in that it came too soon and a lovely invitation to walk down memory lane. The Sweet Brier / Hidden Valley Lane vortex of fun, laughter, go-carts, and neighborhood parties was always made more fun with Mr. Lank's fun-loving outlook and great sense of humor. He teased in a way that made you know you were cared for and laughed in a way that everyone should. I will never forget him - or your family - and am so glad he was part of an incredible childhood for all of us. I will also, for some reason, never forget the "We got the lead out" Getty sweatshirt. That comes to mind far more than you might imagine. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you all.
Deepest Sympathy
Jerry touched many lives and has received his wings, I'm sure of it. All of the family and my sweet Mary and in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Linda in VA
Jerry was a resident where I work. He was very kind, always saying How u do ? I will miss seeing him as I delivered his laundry. Mary, you are in my thoughts and prayers, as well as your children and grandchildren. Rest In Peace Jerry...
Coach Jerry
He was my favorite Coach when first I meet him! I will missed him! Fly away Coach Jerry!
Jerry was my over-40 softball
Jerry was my over-40 softball coach for several years during my playing career and his enthusiasm and love of the game made it so enjoyable to be part of his team. His laugh and demeanor seemed to always bring the best out in each player, which in turn elevated the team to many successful wins. In addition, after a lot of big wins the entire team would be invited to his house for some of the finest food I've ever eaten. His wife was so pleasant and had phenomenal meals. Jerry never changed off the field, as his interactions with the players at these parties just extended his likable personality to everyone around the team, and I will never forget him.

|The Fantastic Furlough
A Positive Outlook and Savings for all California State Employees
As you are aware, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has required a monthly furlough for California State Employees. Almost 200,000+ California public servants are being furloughed two Fridays a month and lose 10 percent in pay. It has been proposed that the furlough continue through July 2010.
During these grim economic times the people of Sacramento are looking for ways to save while continuing to help Sacramento prosper. I am proposing that while the furlough is in place, Sacramento businesses provide a discount to California State Employees. This will encourage State Employees to continue to spend during these difficult times.
I'm developing a pamphlet for all CA State Employees that will include restaurants, real estate companies, florists, hair salons, auto shops, bars, etc. that will be providing a discount for the duration of the furlough. Any amount of savings that can be passed on to California State Employees would be greatly appreciated. Whether its $5 off or 25% off a service, any amount would be a great contribution. Once your company is willing to contribute a savings, your logo and contact information will be included in the pamphlet as well as on the website, www.fantasticfurlough.com (website will be completed after March 13, 2009). This is a great way for your establishment to be recognized by thousands of State Employees while providing them with a discount.
This discount would only be provided for the duration of the furlough. While it is proposed that that furlough continue through July 2010, it could also be resolved as early as next month. This is up to Governor Schwarzenegger.
If interested in providing a discount to the thousands of State Employees that make up the Sacramento community or would like further information, please contact: Szandra Keszthelyi at 916-799-5928 or

America Ferrera has stopped putting so much emphasis on her looks.
The Ugly Betty star's appearance played a huge role in her life as a young girl but, as she grew older, she learned she didn't need to place so much importance on looking good all the time.
"I grew up believing a lot of things about myself that I had to unlearn - things that pertain to being a good woman, things about my weight or height," she tells Redbook magazine. "As women, you're taught that your value is all about your appearance, not your ideas and your tenacity and your courage and your bravery and your adventurous spirit. Look, I love getting dressed up and looking beautiful. But that's one tiny piece of me."
The 32-year-old has found her stride in Hollywood, but she reveals she used to worry about landing roles and the anxiety spilled over into her personal life.
"When I was younger, I felt like everything was make or break," she says. "In my career and my relationships, there was a right way or a wrong way - and I had to fit into the right box. I've let go of those narrow definitions and found a balance."
"My successes and my failures don't have to have this enormous weight on them; they can just be mine," she continues. "Whatever moves you forward, focus on it. Whatever handicaps you or paralyses you, that's the thing to get rid of."
And she now wants to shift her focus to taking on new ventures in Hollywood.
"We talk about a lot of things we want to see more women doing," she adds. "We want more women producers, more women writers, more women directors - and you can only say that so many times before you say, 'I'm a woman. What's stopping me from doing this?'"

Welcome to my homepage
Sometimes people ask me "As a director, what exactly do you do?"
It's a complex and slightly hard-to-define job, as it covers many aspects of production and most crucially it's a collaboration with many other artists. In essence, my job is to tell the story and let the audience listen to – in other words, properly hear – the music. They should then be able to experience the drama that the composer and librettist created.
I try to do no more than is needed to achieve this and I aim never to get in the way of the exciting communication between author and audience. Prima le parole, dopo la musica – without a text, most composers (and I stress most) would not have been inspired to write music. So we have to respect the words, and listen to the music.
I also love to explore the connections between a variety of art forms, history and the lives of creative artists. My scripts and presentations have attempted to cover this fascinating ground.
My other great enthusiasm is the education of young people: as singers, actors, designers and directors. I consider the passing on of knowledge and experience from one generation to another to be a primary and vital responsibility. It is also inspiring to be part of this process. It maybe a truism but I believe we become better at what we do when we teach it to others.
I hope you'll enjoy this survey of my work – please let me have your comments!

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
My father wasn't looking at me when he said, "I never wanted children." I was already an adult, and we were in the garage looking for some tools, and it was merely a casual conversation into which this was dropped. No offense was meant. There was no emotion in his voice about it. It was said with the same emphasis one might use while mentioning what they ate for breakfast.
It wasn't surprising. I had always somehow known, so the most surprising part was that I found it notable enough a statement to make at the time. I paused for a moment, and did that thing where you stare really hard at a wall so you don't cry, and went back to what we were doing.
This isn't to say my father was a bad father. I think, rationally, about how amazing his effort was, given his upbringing. Given the truly blood-curdling tales I hear about my paternal grandfather, and my experiences with my unstable grandmother, I think my father did a great job struggling against what he'd been taught, and fulfilling his obligation to my brother and I.
He was -- well, I'm sure he still is -- an amazingly well-regarded man, being insanely intelligent, educated and gifted as a physician. I think that regard carried me throughout my childhood, glossing over the other stuff.
It actually makes me wonder sometimes if each generation might get better, and if there's some hope for my brother, who I desperately hoped would never have kids, but I'm sure one day will.
From a very young age -- as far back as 12 or 13 -- I knew I wouldn't have children. Even though I still believed in the myth of "the one" and ridiculous wedding ceremonies and happily ever after, children were never a part of it. Throughout my life, people said, "Oh, you'll change your mind when you get older," and for 25 years, my response has been the same: "If I do, please, please remind me of these excellent reasons why I shouldn't."
I was genuinely scared of there being anyone in the world who felt as much anger at me as I felt at my parents on a daily basis.
I have weird relationships with men. The more time I spend in therapy with a good therapist (and a good one makes all the difference) the more I understand how much my behaviors, even the smallest, most repressed ones, are deeply tied to my childhood. How I feel when I perceive a threat; how essential it is for me to be able to express my anger and sadness over those threats.
I am surrounded by men in my worklife -- and I adore them. I look at the men I've chosen to work with and be friends with, and I am constantly impressed by how amazing they are. As fathers, as friends, as men. These men are thoughtful and intelligent and sensitive and who generally treat me like a valued part of their lives.
The offenses that make me the saddest are always when I feel as if they haven't stood up for me, defended me, or when I fear they don't value me. It speaks to the deepest, darkest parts of my insecurity. Thanks, Dad.
But in the weird way that I had women step into substitute mother roles throughout my life, I never had that with men. And I won't be so stupid to say that it hasn't affected me. I've struggled my whole life to demand respect from boyfriends, to not constantly lower the acceptable level of treatment because I was happy for the crumbs. It's hard, when you stay with someone long enough, to notice you're the frog in the boiling water. I wish I could say I've gotten better over the years, but the only real experience I've acquired is that I know I'm bad at it, and am better -- happier, more productive, safer -- when I avoid it.
I'm 38 now. Occasionally it occurs to me that even if I suddenly changed my mind about wanting children, that door is closing. And it makes me sad, too. Not because I have changed my mind, but because it marks a passage of time. I've never regretted my choices regarding children.
Because I try hard, like my father, to be a good person, every day. I work hard, because it's important to me to create good work in the world. I make sure to give it away whenever presented the opportunity, because I want to be a good force in the world. And I do things my father doesn't -- I force myself to deal with my issues. To be around people constantly. To create a family of friends and trusted peers and elders.
But I know, underneath it all, that I don't know how to be a good parent. That I am probably incapable of doing so. That I have THINGS that would prevent me from doing so. I've always worried that there would come a day when a man would force me to choose between him and my truth about children and I would not be strong enough to enforce that truth.
People have a hard time accepting that truth still. They tell you that you can learn new behavior, that you can change your destiny and not become your parents. That the way I nurture friends and clients could easily translate to me being a good parent.
I suspect that these are the arguments that my father heard almost 40 years ago. He was faced with the same choice I'm so terrified of, and made the wrong one.
So many of my male friends are on the precipice of fatherhood. And they'll be amazing fathers. Many of my male friends already are. I interact with their children in the most guarded of ways, never too much that I could possibly offload any of the parental habits I was taught. My biggest, keep-me-up-at-night fear about my best friend's impending motherhood is that I will screw up her kid by proximity.
Yesterday, like on all Father's Days, I celebrated those friends and felt so grateful for the good people they are helping raise for our world.
But deep down, I'm even happier, more grateful, more appreciative, more proud, for the men I know who've been brave enough to tell themselves, "I don't want children," and stick to it. We do not celebrate them enough.


text: 10 Weight-Loss Rules You're Allowed to Break by JOHN BERARDI, PH.D. April 21, 2018 John Berardi, Ph.D. John Berardi is a nutrition coach and exercise physiologist. He also serves as a performance consultant for Nike and as an adjunct instructor at Eastern Michigan University and the University of Texas. Berardi received his Ph.D. in exercise physiology and nutrient biochemistry at the University of Western Ontario, Canada. Slide 1 of 12 Photo Credit: Scott Webb/ Adobe Stock Sure, rules are created to help keep things in order but sometimes they're outdated or misguided and should be broken. After all, there's no one size fits all when it comes to losing weight. Here are 10 weight-loss rules that you're allowed to break. Photo Credit: Clickr RM/Getty Images 1 Don't Eat Carbs (and Other "Bad" Foods) Stop me if you've ever heard any of this diet advice: Don't eat gluten. Don't eat wheat. Don't eat carbs. Don't eat fat. Don't eat red meat. Yep, we live in a world where popular diets often find a "villain" that they call fat loss enemy number one. The strategy can work in the short term because it forces you to eat less. But these restrictions are impossible to sustain in real life. If you want a plan that is going to work for the long run, don't criminalize specific foods and ban them from your life. Instead, work on improving food-related behaviors like slowing down your eating, stopping eating when you're 80 percent full, and choosing more whole, non-processed foods.Read more: "Bad" Foods that Are Good For You Photo Credit: Eric Audras/Onoky/Getty Images 2 Keep Your Meals Small Don't stress about how often you eat; instead focus on what you eat. That's because meal frequency isn't as important as the quality of the foods you eat and how much you consume during the day. Here's what you need to know: Some people do great eating three meals per day, while others prefer five to six smaller meals. And researchers have found that as long as the total calories and nutrients are the same, the number of meals you eat doesn't impact fat loss. How do you choose? Select the option that works best for your life.Read more: 8 Habits of Highly Fit People Photo Credit: iStockphoto 3 Protein Powder Is Only For Muscle Gain Those big jugs of protein aren't just for people looking to pack on muscle. In fact, one of the best options on any diet is protein thanks to its satiation factor. According to a study in The Journal of Nutrition, when people took whey protein for 23 weeks, they had less body fat and a smaller waist size. Protein powder can not only help you build muscle, but it's also been shown to keep you feeling fuller; making it one of your best friends on any diet plan.Read more: 8 Things to Consider When Choosing a Protein Powder - and our Top Picks Photo Credit: BDLM/Cultura RF/Getty Images 4 Be Wary of Supplements It's true that many supplements have more hype than the movies, but that doesn't mean some aren't great for your body. Scientists from Gettysburg University found that fish oil might be an essential part of your fat-fighting formula. The research indicates that omega-3s might help fight against cortisol—the stress hormone your body produces that makes it easier for you to store fat. If you can do a better job of controlling cortisol, you can help keep fat off your body and speed the process of discovering a better you.Read more: 17 Reasons Why You Probably Need More Omega-3s in Your Diet Photo Credit: Creatas Images/Getty Images 5 Diet and Exercise Are All That Matters One of the biggest myths about weight loss is that everything revolves around calories in versus calories out. But did you know that not getting enough sleep could lead directly to weight gain? Researchers from Wake Forest University found that people that sleep five hours or less each night gained nearly 2.5 times more abdominal fat than those who logged six to seven hours. Not getting enough sleep can slow your metabolism, increase your appetite, and decrease the number of calories you burn, which is why you need to prioritize your rest as highly as you do eating and exercise.Read more: 12 Foods to Help You Fall (and Stay) Asleep Photo Credit: Getty Images 6 Snack More Often Snacks can be great. They're small,convenient, and help you through your hunger pangs. But did you know that the average size of snacks have almost doubled in the past 20 years and about 25 percent of our total calories are coming from snacks? In order to snack more effectively, take the time to learn portion sizes and make your snacks count by choosing whole, natural foods -- apple and peanut butter, carrots and hummus, etc.Read more: Quick and Easy Guide to Estimate Portion Size Photo Credit: Jupiterimages/Goodshoot RF/Getty Images 7 You Must Spend Hours Exercising Think you need to spend lots of time in the gym to get in shape? Think again. Researchers from Denmark found that 30 minutes of exercise per day can be just as effective as 60 minutes in terms of fat loss. What's more, scientists have discovered that three, 15-minute workouts per week is enough to significantly boost metabolism and increase fat loss. The best part? Those studies just focused on exercise. When you combine a little exercise with some great eating advice, you have a plan that will keep the pounds off without taking too much time out of your day.Read more: The No. 1 Reason Your Workout Isn't Working Photo Credit: iStockphoto 8 You Need to Join a Gym We all agree that there's not enough time in the day. It's a legitimate reason why it's so hard to stay in shape. That's why you need to make the most of the time you do have. Our recommendation: Workout at home. Whether you perform a bodyweight circuit or follow an online workout program, it doesn't matter how you exercise. Your body doesn't know the difference between the pushup you perform in your home or the ones you do in the gym.Read more: The Newbie's Guide to Bizarre Gym Lingo Photo Credit: Shuji Kobayashi/The Image Bank/Getty Images 9 Drink More Liquids Dehydration is the enemy of weight loss. When you don't drink enough, your body releases a hormone that makes you crave more food. But what you drink can make a big difference between not feeling hungry and packing on pounds. Want to instantly cut weight? Remove all beverages not named water. In 2011, Americans drank an average of 53 gallons of soda a year. Calorie-rich beverages are often the reason people have trouble losing weight even when they're eating well.Read more: Everything You Need to Know to Stay Properly Hydrated Photo Credit: iStockphoto 10 Don't Enjoy Your Food Most diets have it all wrong. Turns out, the more you enjoy your food, the more weight you'll actually lose. The catch: It's not just what you eat—the way you eat might be the best way to curb your hunger. Eating fast makes you gain weight, according to Japanese researchers. In their study, they found that people who ate faster gained more weight than those who didn't. Want to eat less? Just slow down. According to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who take smaller bites and chew their food for nearly nine seconds eat less food compared to those who scarf their bites in three seconds or less.Read more: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study Photo Credit: John Berardi What Do You Think? Do you ever break any of these rules? What other weight-loss rules do you break? Are there any rules that you would never break? Let us know.

My name is Anna Eleanor Jordan (Formerly published under the name Anna J. Boll), and I write and illustrate for children. I'm pleased to have poems published in these high quality magazines!
I am also a veteran educator as comfortable with teaching K-12 as I am with teaching adults and higher ed students. I love to do programs about poetry, the picture book, creative writing, research, and the creative process.
I grew up in Washington, DC and live in Maine with my children, and my fur-daughter, Lucy.
This is where I do most of my work…
…but I get a lot of my ideas when I'm being active on my own or with my family– rowing, hiking, biking, running, or cross country skiing.
Read my blog. Look at my program descriptions. View my illustration portfolio. Explore my links. Ask me about my reader's guides for children's books.
Thanks so much for visiting.

How to Create Opportunities You Desire
There are times in life when a seemingly perfect opportunity presents itself and it is not even perceived as an opportunity until it is long gone. You may have heard people say: "Once the right opportunity to present itself and I will return to college or start a business. Should we really wait for opportunities? This may be a coincidence but opportunities seem to present itself to people who are actively doing something not those waiting. To create the opportunities you desire, these two tips are important:
1. Change the way you think: It all starts with your perceptions, think possibilities, see possibilities and you will change what happens around you.
Think about this scenario:
A young man, Shawn, who dropped out of high school seven years ago, recently got laid off his job. He has no technical skills whatsoever, and has had difficulty getting jobs from time to time. He is frustrated about looking for jobs almost every 8 months but does not know what to do.
Shawn can sit down and think about all the frustrations in his life right now and the ones he endured in the past. He could even take it further by looking for people in his life that could be held responsible for his current predicament. This thought pattern may lead to bitterness and resentment among other things. One thing is certain, this thought pattern will not lead him out of his current predicament.
Alternatively, he can decide to think of the possibility of a bright future, not limited by his past pain or misfortune but shaped by his determination to succeed. Taking responsibility for his life and determined to make a change, he can start engaging in activities that will add value to him. Taking the right steps out of the problem starts by changing the way he thinks. Thinking more about what can be done with what you have rather than focus on what was done or not done in the past.
2. Change what you say: as simple as this sounds, it is very powerful. Our words create our reality. Instead of speaking defeating words that will dampen your morale, stand up and declare what you desire for your life! These positive declarations will energize you and beyond that shape your future.
What opportunities do you desire? Start creating those opportunities today by changing the way you think about the situation and what you say about it.

I'm pretty swamped with work this summer but when I have time to spare to take a walk, I'm kind of obsessed with taking photos of flowers. It's just that time of year, if I don't do it while everything is blooming now, I'll totally regret it come January! I've been trying to post about one photo a day on somewhere social media just because it makes me happy when I look at my own profile pages and see them. Yeah, dork, whatever.
Here's a selection of purple images I've taken over the last couple of months, I hope they make you happy too. 🙂
Iris close up.
Same iris.
Purple coneflower, also known as echinacea.
In case you're wondering, these were all shot with my iPhone and edited in the Camera+ app.

blooming cactus
For all of the many years I've had a Christmas cactus, it's never actually blossomed at Christmas. It's bloomed in October, it's bloomed in June, it's bloomed twice in a year instead of once, some years it didn't bud at all, but it never ever flowered in December. Well, this year it finally did when it was supposed to, and right when I needed it.
Merry Christmas peeps, I hope you all have a little something beautiful in your lives right now too.
xoxo Annette

pretty fuzzy
It's vacation week here, except once again it's not my vacation. I need pretty, fuzzy things to distract my from all of my friends' facebook status updates from Disney World. Sigh. Do you need pretty, fuzzy things too? Here ya go!
The pretty.
The fuzzy.
More pretty.
More fuzzy.
And pretty again.
The last fuzzy thing would be my brain…but I don't have a picture of it. 🙂
other people's gardens
It's a beautiful day today, the sun is shining and a light breeze is blowing. When we went down the road wait for the bus it was about 50 degrees. A perfect day for a long walk. As soon as I got Josh off to school I headed up the hill.
I took a slightly new route this time and I walked for just over an hour. My pedometer tells me I went 1.4 miles but Google maps says the route is 2.8 miles. Hmmm. I think I'll believe Google this time thanks! I'm assuming since I was walking fast I was taking longer strides than what I set my pedometer for!
When I walk through neighborhoods I catch myself being a bit of a peeping tom. A typical nosy neighbor who can't keep her eyes to herself. But it's not people I'm looking at. (In fact the fewer people I see while I walk the happier I am.) It's their plants, their trees, their landscape design that I'm checking out. Or lack thereof.
While I truck along I take it all in. Perfectly set rock gardens with phlox and alysum, mulched beds overflowing with gerberas and tulips, and shady spots filled with bleeding hearts and hostas. I love the big flowering trees, huge lilacs, and sweet weeping cherries. I wish I had space for all of them.
I have a soft spot for cute little japanese maples with delicate spidery red leaves. I had one at my old house and I loved it. I want one here but I haven't figured out the perfect spot yet, and they're expensive.
I glance a bit jealously at sunny yards, mine is so much shade. I envy the ease in which they can choose plants, everything is harder to grow on my lot and I have to carefully research what will survive here. But then I remember August and how my lawn will stay cool and green, if a bit mossy, while theirs will dry up in the heat. Maybe those people walk by my home and envy my towering pines and maples, even though they make my soil turn acid.
I keep going and I wonder at the houses with the neglected plants, weeds choking out the flowers, and overgrown bushes and dead limbs crowding my sight. Do the owners forget about it all out of hardship or just apathy? As I walk on by my brain can't help but plan out their space. A rhododendron would be perfect here, a little trimming of the forsythia there, some grass seed to fill out the lawn.
Eventually I make it back to my own driveway. My critial eye takes in the stretch of land I work so hard on. I judge it harshly, but I remember how much worse looked when we first saw it a few years ago. I look at my thriving stonecrop and lilies and bee balm and I know I did that. I love the new butterfly bush and azaleas that I bought on mother's day.
Other people's gardens fascinate me, but I love my own little bit of earth.
the tulip
For some reason, I get lots of tulip greenery popping up in my garden each year, but only one ever blooms.
It's always gorgeous.
I just wonder what's wrong with the rest of them.
Are they intimidated?

what I did yesterday
I got my hands dirty!
And I loved every minute of it.
Filed Under gardening, photos Tagged flowers, gardening, pansies, photos
Ever since I've had a home of my own, I've bought myself flowers to plant on my birthday. When I lived in Virginia I could buy pretty much anything I wanted and put it in the ground right away, but up here in New Hampshire I have one choice – pansies. They're the only flower that won't die on me before mid-May.
As soon as the nursery down the road from me opens this morning I'll be there buying as many purple pansies as I can. Happy Birthday to me!
(Last year's pansies!)
Do you ever do anything special just for yourself on your birthday?
Please remember Maddie and Thalon in your prayers today.
trees blooming everywhere
Over the last two weeks most of my trees have come into bloom and I been taking a few pictures. Sundays are always a good day for gardening (or like today, just plain ole yard work) and of course that always make me want to talk about gardening!
The first picture is my little mystery. It's a very pretty little tree on the edge of the woods that looks like a scrub tree for much of the year, but for about a week it looks like this. It blooms at the same time as my flowering cherry but I don't think it is one because the leaves don't have serrated edges. Does anyone know what it might be?
Next up is my very traditional hot pink rhododendron. It just love it.
Okay, now here is my (formerly) least favorite bush on my property. It's so big it might as well be a tree. Last year it was in poor shape and I thought about whacking it back to ground level and seeing if it would regenerate. At the time, I really didn't care if it did or not. Somehow white flowers seem a little pointless. I like pinks and purples and yellows, but white? Meh. Well, I've changed my mind and I'm really happy I didn't mess with it, because, just look at this white azalea:
Imagine, it's five feet tall, and five feet wide, and completely full of flowers. Gorgeous! It's doing much better than my poor little pink azalea in the backyard that has neither flowered or leafed out. That one might be in for the whacking instead. And no I'm not going to show you a picture of the poor thing!
Now, what flowering tree post would be complete without a lilac? Certainly not this one!
I love lilacs. I've wanted lilacs at every place I've ever lived, but never had them until now. Can't you just smell it??
Hope you're all having a great Memorial weekend!!

sick of gardening posts? too bad!
I've finally taken a photo of my namesake. (Or am I its namesake? Or does it work both ways? I could Google it but I don't really care.)
Anyway, The catnip is up and looking quite healthy and lovely:
George doesn't get particularly excited about the catnip until it's dried. He's so weird.
Yeah, whatever George, you are too.
I also took new photo of my forsythia which is FINALLY blooming. (I will be sure to back up all of my images this time.)
Isn't it pretty! It's just so freaking cheerful!
I couldn't decide which image I liked best so here's another view:
Now click on it the image to make it bigger and then look in the upper left corner. Do you see something? That's the boy's tree house. (The tree house we have not yet let him go up into yet. I'm paranoid, what can I say, he's only five, and it's really high up.)
Back to the photo. I didn't know when I snapped the picture that the tree house would be visible but now that I see I just like how it gives some secret dimension to it, like an I Spy book or a Bev Doolittle painting. Or am I just weird too? (Don't answer that!!)
Okay. Here's a gratuitous pansy shot:
I don't usually spend much money on annuals, but I was seriously pining for some color in my front yard last week. Spring in New England is tough on a blogger – I look at all these other blogs from all over the country that have had Full! Blooming! Gardens! for weeks now. It's not freaking fair! So my pansies made me happy. Look at it, don't you just want to slurp that big refreshing drop of water right off it?! No? Really? hmm, nevermind….
Moving on. Now that we've had some nice rain over the last few days I also have a small leaf purple rhododendron in full bloom. I just love this bush tree. Someone knew what they were doing when they picked out this one. It's about seven feet tall, I can see it out my front picture window, and it's just gorgeous. The blossoms are so delicate and smell glorious. Thanks previous homeowners!
Before I moved here, I'd never seen a Rhododendron quite like it. It's not a typical one, that has the larger leaves and big flowers, nor is it quite an azalea with the tiny leaves. It's weird. Like me George.

more than a whiff of spring now
Overheard while the boy was playing legos yesterday: "I'm gonna make something totally freaking awesome!"
Yes, apparently I am raising him as if we're still living in Maine. In the 80's. heh. Right on.
Anyway, the snow has finally melted enough that I was able to go out in the yard today. I managed to get a bit of raking done, cleaned up the veggie garden area, and took a walk around the perimeter to see what's popping up. It was fantastic to get out and breathe in some fresh air! Okay, it's only 50, but I'll take what I can get.
I was so very happy to see the day lilies are up about an inch, and are all over the place. I also have some tulip tops peeking out under the front picture window. I transplanted them from the backyard last spring but I was too late for them to bloom. Someone at one time had a flower garden smack dab in the middle of the lawn and that clump was the last of it. I have no idea what color they'll be – I can't wait to see! There are a few violets showing their leaves, but no flowers yet. I have thousands of violets that have spread across the entire lawn but they are the thickest right at the edge of the woods. Really they've become weeds, but they're so pretty I don't mind much! DH minds – they mess up the possibility of perfect grass 😉
The forsythia have just the bittiest of buds. For me, the forsythia blooming is the first sign of real spring. It's always the first thing in my yard to have lots and lots of color and it covers up all the winter brownness of the woods. I had a great photo of them in full yellow happiness from last year – and of course that's the image I wanted to get off my old laptop to post here. No such luck. I'll just have to wait for new blooms and take the photos over!
No sign of the hostas yet, but they are are all in the spots where the snow hasn't melted, in the shade of course. I hope we don't have another storm, I have a plant swap coming up at the end of the month with some friends and I'd like to take some with me. The previous house owners never split any of the hostas so they are terribly overgrown. I did some splitting and moving and trading last spring, but there is sooo much more to do.
This week my goals are to do a bunch more raking and work on my rock wall – it's sliding down a hill! I also need to dig up the lilies that somehow ended up behind the forsythia in the woods, (who does something like that??) I meant to last spring but never got to it. Anyone want to come over and do a little yard work?? There's plenty to go around!

With the launch of its new 488 GTB, Ferrari finds itself in almost-but-not-quite uncharted territory. For over 20 years, the Italian company has specialized in building naturally aspirated engines with plenty of specific output (a measure of power divided by engine displacement) that rev to the stratosphere. But the world those cars were designed for is going away. New emissions regulations in Europe and beyond are forcing car makers to replace those naturally aspirated engines with smaller capacity turbocharged units, a trend to which even Ferrari is not immune.
As one might expect, purists are up in arms. "Ferraris shouldn't be turbocharged," they cry, conveniently forgetting that the legendary 288 GTO and F40 both used forced induction. It's not like such fears are completely unfounded, either. Although turbocharging allows you to squeeze a lot more power out of an engine, it usually comes at the expense of throttle response; it takes time for those turbos to scroll up to speed, creating a lag between pushing the accelerator and the desired result. And that extra plumbing uses exhaust gases to drive the turbine that squeezes more air into the engine, which can muffle or mute the soundtrack, something we're seeing all too clearly in Formula 1 this year.
Fear not, Tifosi (that's Italian for fan). Last week, Ferrari let some lucky journalists loose in the new 488 GTB, and the word on the street is that they've pulled yet another rabbit out of their hat. Ars wasn't invited, but luckily for us, Chris Harris was there, and he's made another one of his rather excellent videos to show us just how good the new car is:
Not only does Ferrari's new engine manage to feel naturally aspirated (the company claims throttle response is a mere 0.1 seconds slower than the engine in the outgoing 458), but its ECU even does clever things like changing the mapping depending on what gear the car is in. That's coupled with the latest evolution of Ferrari's Side Slip Angle Control, the electronics that learn from the driver's behavior and constantly tweak the (magnetorheological) suspension to let you slide the car around corners. It makes you like a driving deity without ending up backwards in a ditch. On top of all that, the 488 also benefits from Ferrari's F1-derived expertise in aerodynamics, with variable geometry flaps, vortex generators, and some other clever bits that manage to reduce drag compared to the 458, even though it makes much more downforce. If the car were any cleverer, we'd have to offer it a job at Ars Technica.

Sawamura throws 44 pitches on first day of Chuo University Spring camp

Chuo University Hirokazu Sawamura threw 44 pitches during a bullpen session on the first day of Spring camp (2/10-3/10). Chuo manager Yoshimasa Takahashi told the media that Sawamura wanted to stay in Japan instead of head to the Majors. Sawamura himself told reporters that he wanted to play out the season and then think about it. For now, he said that his only goal was to help the team win.

Document Type
The question of whether an artist's use of technology to create art results in a detectable aesthetic difference was investigated in the case of Dutch realist painter Johannes Vermeer and his use of the camera obscura. In Experiment 1, participants evaluated 20 Vermeer paintings on 6 aesthetic dimensions and preferred paintings created with the aid of the camera obscura. In Experiment 2, participants evaluated 4 Vermeer paintings on 6 aesthetic dimensions after they either read about camera obscura technology or read in general about methods of creating art in the Dutch realist school of painting. Knowledge of technology use did not affect aesthetic evaluation. In Vermeer's case, technology was used to enhance rather than substitute for artistic talent and did not decrease but rather enhanced the viewer's aesthetic experience.

The Pearl Community Empowerment Foundation (PCE Foundation) strives to give rural Ugandan girls and their families the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty and initiate sustainable change in their communities. We organize and oversee a diverse collection of projects in the service of this goal, including the following:
- Portland Nursery and Primary School & Sponsorship Program – A local school founded by the families of Amor Village in order to provide an education to their young children without the need for them to walk miles to the nearest school or live away from their families. Similar to the RGCM program, we connect the children of the village with sponsors around the works who provide mentorship and support for their education.
- Rural Girl Child Mentorship (RGCM) – A girl-to-mentor global nonprofit mentorship program which helps poor rural Ugandan girls attend school and work toward achieving their dreams.
- Amor Village Library & Community Center – An ongoing construction project to provide Amor Village with a library and community center that will bring the community together and give students a place to collaborate and do research.
- Schools and Community Sensitization – A community awareness campaign designed to create awareness of the value of education in the rural schools and communities.
- Farming/Agriculture – By bringing modern techniques and equipment to rural community gardens, we are helping to sustainably increase harvest yields and ensure food security throughout the year.
- Rural Peer Savings and Loans – A microloan program used to fund small businesses that support children going to school and help communities grow.
- Health – An initiative to improve health in rural communities through preventive care and education.
- Mentor Overseas Outreach and Cultural Exchange – We facilitate opportunities for visiting mentors and donors to experience Ugandan culture, the country's natural beauty, and everyday life in the communities with whom we work.

One of the biggest debates in the nursing field is whether nurses should pursue advanced education beyond an associate degree. Currently, a nurse can earn an associate of science in nursing, and then sit for the national exam to become a licensed registered nurse, or RN. However, as nursing becomes more specialized and as the knowledge and skill level required for nursing jobs increase, more nurses are pursuing advanced degrees, including the master's of science in nursing, or MSN.
Career Advancement
A master's of science in nursing can lead to many career opportunities that are not available to nurses with an associate or bachelor's degree. Nurses who wish to become an upper-level manager, educator or coordinator of care can expect to need a master's degree. Many graduate programs in nursing prepare students for the challenges of management or becoming an educator by offering them specialized training in advanced leadership and communication skills.
Opportunities to Specialize
A master's degree opens the door to advanced practice nursing, which is nursing in specialized areas that require additional knowledge and training. Some of the many ways to specialize as an advanced practice nurse include becoming a nurse anesthetist, a clinical nurse specialist, a nurse practitioner or a nurse midwife. These specialties are in high demand in many areas, allowing nurses with a master's degree to focus on additional job opportunities.
Advanced Knowledge
A master's of science in nursing trains nurses in advanced nursing techniques and provides them with specialized knowledge of medical conditions. As medicine advances and new infectious diseases are discovered, this specialized information is becoming increasingly important. In addition, some professional organizations, such as the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, are pressing for a bachelor's degree as the minimum requirement for licensing. Those with a master's degree are even more prepared, which keeps them at the forefront of knowledge and skills as expectations for educational attainment increase.
Better Pay
Nurses who have earned a master's degree can expect to command higher pay than RNs with a bachelor's degree or an associate degree. In addition, nurses with master's degrees are eligible to work in more specialized areas, such as burn units or intensive care units, where they can earn more money, as well as bonuses. Nurses with specializations that are in high demand can expect to earn upward of $90,000 per year in some metropolitan areas.

If you are looking for an exciting and rewarding opportunity in the area of social and economic research, RDA is often in search of project managers, research analysts, programmers and database designers. Generally, we search for people with the following sorts of skills:
Research Project Directors: These positions generally require a Ph.D. or M.P.H. and demonstrated knowledge of the research methods and topics appropriate to each project. Authorship of government reports or peer review publications based on scientific research is important. Prior experience as a research project director is desirable. All RDA projects require the ability to carry out complex scientific research and write the research results clearly for non-technical audiences.
