Teemo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Speed Teemo, the speed demon!
This build focuses on Teemo's speed and ability to farm creeps. The builds for a late game 5v5 Teemo and not a very early gank driven one either. The team build up should have heroes good at 4 vs 5 fights, good teamates would be champions like Shen, Malzahar, Miss Fortune, and Tryndamere, or other fairly sturdy heroes.
Mastery Tree build: Since This build focuses on Teemo practically being able to be anywhere or get anywhere really fast you'll want to put points in Teleport and Haste, The rest of the build is a fairly standard DPS build for the masteries point. I didn't put any points into Quickness because 1) Teemo is a more offensive here, and 2) you really don't need it with this build.
Skill Sequence Order: Depending on how you play you can either put you first point into Blinding Dart or I usually put it Toxic Shot so I don't have to worry about mana. The rest should go to max out Move Quick as soon as possible. Once you hit level 6 you'll wanna get your mushroom bombs and start planting them all over the map. Make sure to keep them by Baron and the dragon. The rest of your abilities can go into Toxic Shot and Blinding Dart, I usually max out Toxic Shot first so I have more mana for mushrooms and save the darts for last.
Rune Builds: Remembering that Teemo is an assassin I went with damage at level 18 for the marks, movements speed increase quintessence (yah I know, theres that whole speed thing again), crit damage for the seals, and crit chance for the glyphs. I find that a crit and damage focus plays better to Teemo than AP and attack speed. towards the end of the game with this build you'll be able to solo Nashor and get to anywhere on the map in a couple seconds.
Purchase Order: The first item I get is Boots of Speed to build to Boots of Mobility and two health potion. After that I build towards getting Zeal to build towards Phantom Dancer; I get two Phantom Dancers before getting damage items for the +30% movements speed increase. With the Phantom Dancers plus the Boots of Mobility and his passive speed boost in combination with Ghost and Teleport you'll be able to get from opposite ends of the map in seconds. Now for the damage items I find attack damage to be more useful for killing than ability power so I will go for Infinity Edge for the extra crit damage, since with it you will have like +80% crit chance just with your items. And then I either go Bloodthirst or The Black Cleaver for armor reduction and a good amount of AD. Now I know you're probably thinking that these items are super expensive but you'll be able to farm creeps like nobodies business; as soon a big group of creeps starts pushing one of your towers just run over there and drop a mushroom right in the middle of them.
Notes on how to play: One of Teemo's most useful abilities is his ultimate Noxious Trap; you can have an unlimited amount of them out at a time, they're great for killing a large groups of creeps, they slow when triggered, and they give sight where ever they are. Those little mushrooms act as virtually an unlimited supply of wards. If any of you remember "Map Hacks" for Warcraft 3 while playing DoTA, its biggest benefit was being able to see the whole map. With the proper placement and usage of your mushrooms you can have visibility almost everywhere. Starting a game, like I said earlier, I usually start out with Toxic Shot and do a hit and run attack. For example, when laning against champions like Mundo or Ashe, stay behind your creeps and pop out when they get close enough to hit. It will be easy to hit them since the first of boots will make you fast enough to hit and get back behind your creeps so you can dodge Mundo's cleaver or Ashe's Volley. I know your not going to be able to escape all of the attacks but thats why I start with 2 health potions. At level 6, when you get your mushrooms start planting your mushrooms in bushes, by dragon, Nashor, and at good intersection points, this will help prevent ganks, as long as you keep an eye on the mini map. If I haven't already, at level 7 or 8 I put a point into blinding dart for the attack miss effect, its great for taking less damge from jungle creeps and helping a teamate who is getting hit by a melee heavy hereo, like Master Yi. After that I just run aroung planting mushrooms, farming creeps and help out in team attacks as much as possible. I hope you find this strategy fun and useful when playing Teemo.

George Clooney is one step closer to walking down the aisle with Amal Alamuddin after the British lawyer reportedly filed official wedding paperwork in London this week (01Sep14).
The couple is said to be planning to wed in Italy this month (Sep14), and the pair obtained its marriage license in August (14).
The nuptials are now believed to be close at hand after Alamuddin reportedly filed paperwork in London, a move which is necessary for all Brits who are planning to wed abroad, according to the New York Daily News.
The publication reports Alamuddin gave formal notice of her intention to marry during a visit to London's Chelsea Registry office.
Alamuddin was also spotted visiting a high profile wedding dress designer in the British capital this week.

Jay Z ended his show in Los Angeles on Monday night (09Dec13) with a touching tribute to late human rights icon Nelson Mandela.
As world leaders and celebrities like Bono and Forest Whitaker were preparing for the former South African leader's memorial in Pretoria, Jay Z offered up his own thoughts about one of his heroes onstage at the Staples Center.
He dedicated Young Forever to Mandela, who died on 5 December (13), calling him "a great man who spent 27 years in prison and came out to be president".
A photo of the late leader was then beamed onto a huge screen above the stage.
Jay Z also paid tribute to Mandela last week, just hours after news of the icon's death was confirmed. In a post on his website, the rap star wrote, "All our dreams are possible. Tonight I'm living my dream in front of y'all. So anybody out there got a dream, y'all chase that mo'f**ker down as hard as you can. Let that great man stand as an example of what you can do."

The Switchback: Crop to Fire in Minutes
This is the latest Thrush initiative - the Georgia State took possession of two Switchbacks December 2017.
Powered by a GE H80 turbine engine, the Switchback is designated as a Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) aircraft and will be used by the Georgia Forestry Commission for fire detection, rapid response firefighting and training. Thanks to its size and maneuverability, the 510G Switchback has the ability to quickly deliver 500 gallons of water, retardant or fire suppressant with pinpoint accuracy in tight environments. In addition, the Switchback has the ability to switch from agricultural spray duties to firefighting capabilities in a matter of minutes thanks to its unique fire gate delivery system. See the full article here.
Stay tuned - we will update our page as this initiative develops.
THRUSH Training Courses
Jeff Farr of Farr Air Inc. was able to spend a week down in Albany, Georgia at the Thrush Factory to review the new training courses. Jeff "learned more than (he) critiqued, so it was a very worthy exercise". Take a look at his thoughts on these upcoming training initiatives.
Pratt & Whitney Canada & thrush
Offering world class support - increased TBO's - support & care for Ag industry.

If you would like to book a seat on this full actuating simulator please get in touch with us. We will make it happen.
Here are the details on this exciting, first of its kind for Ag simulator.
Thrush is all about your safety, and they also have a host of training videos here. Short, to the point, but informative, take a view.
Thrush Rush Tour a Success - Performance & Stability
They looked, touched, felt, rode and even FLEW the THRUSH! Thank you Thrush Aircraft for making this tour such a success especially Terry Humphrey, Chief Pilot for Thrush and our Tour.
Over 50 rides, piloted by 10 Turbine pilots all comments were extremely positive.
Most common comments were targeted around performance and stability of the aircraft.
Full fuel, full 510 gallons, two people in cockpit, high heat days (+75deg, +25cel) and this bird still got off the runway before 2000 feet.
Light on the controls, Terry demonstrated the maneuverarability of the plane and the hard to stall characteristics that make this plane stable and one of the safest to fly.
Notice was taken of the huge wing, small tail, and how she flys loaded like she's empty. This is a well built, hard working plane Canada. Thanks for your interest and support Canada during the recent tour.
This Canadian Tour also brought focus to the important role Canadian Aerial Applicators play in helping to feed the world. The decal featured here was on the tail of the tour plane. This awareness initiative of Thrush Aircraft is in support of the industry it serves. "Ag aviation will not continue to prosper as an industry, long-term, if we don't get more people aware of its benefits – and of its importance to increasing crop yields for farmers around the world," said Payne Hughes, president of Thrush Aircraft. "Population growth combined with economic challenges is putting tremendous pressure on farmers right now to produce more from the ground they have – and ag aviation can help. Coupled with this of course, is the clear fact that we need more pilots to join the industry and make it a career," he continued.
"We learned a long time ago that leaders promote their industry, while others just promote their products" said Eric Rojek, Vice President of Thrush. "The Feed the World campaign has been created to help everyone in our business – from customers to competitors – because it's a story that needs telling. And, if we do it right, we'll help secure the future for an industry that has served all of us well."

Interesting stuff:
Thrush's 660 doing a little more than crop spraying as an Archangel
"Hanging from the Archangel's six underwing hardpoints are enough laser-guided munitions—rockets, bombs, and missiles—to level a half-dozen chicken coops, and a flare and chaff dispenser is ready in case the chickens fight back with surface-to-air missiles. Even if we held onto our heavy weapons load—waiting perhaps for a more significant target to appear—we could orbit over this territory for up to five hours. This is the essence of the light attack mission, a capability the U.S. military all but gave up two decades ago."
This a portion of the article about the transformation of Thrush's 660 model from ag spraying to warfare. See the whole article here.
Promote Your Role In Feeding the World
Furthering their campaign to build awareness and appreciation for the hard work of ag pilots and their aircraft and the tremendous role they play in feeding the world, Thrush has a sticker (see the picture below) you can proudly display and disburse. Email us with the number you need.

What Makes a Thrush a Thrush?
Built Tough
Ruggedness and dependability are passions of Thrush and they have been for over 40 years. In this airframe you will experience a lifetime of productivity and value. Consider this, we have a stainless steel belly! All safe life limits exceed the competition.
Built with Pilot Safety in Mind
Also passionate about innovation and safety Thrush designs for superb visibility, pilot comfort and unsurpassed pilot safety. The large wing and the roll cage designed to withstand high G overturn impact. Wire cutters are standard equipment. We encourage innovation.
It's beautiful to be this rugged.
Easy. Higher. Bigger. Best.
Easy to fly, no flaps in turns. Higher effective speeds. Bigger swath widths. Best deposition. Best penetration. Much of this thanks to the large wing area. Get more done, safely.
Making the best even better is all in a day's work for us.
Advanced Avionics
Advanced but standard to us, the MVP-50T glass panel display allows you to monitor all performance parameters while maintaining excellent situational awareness.
No Airworthiness Directives
Zero on all Thrush Aircraft built after 2007. Less cost, less downtime. You make your money in the air and you get to keep more of it..
Simple to Maintain
Maintenance requirements are less and all safe life limits exceed the competition. The aircraft was simply made more simple - accessibility to all systems & frequently inspected parts on the ground is part of our design. Quality is more than a tradition for us. It's a way of life.
Meet Thrush Test Pilot: Terry Humphrey
Terry is legendary in our opinion.
To confirm that you just need to talk to some of our Thrush owners that have flown and been trained by Terry!
We were so excited to hear the National Agricultural Aviation Association award Terry with their Industry Safety Award at NAAA 2015!
Terry, in his humble way, says he is just an Ag Pilot Terry, you are way more than that, our friend.
Well deserved Terry!
Thrush Promoting Aerial Application at Farm Shows
We admire Thrush's marketing approach. They deal simply and directly. They work at making it easy to deal with them. Another HUGE bonus in our mind, is the work they do promoting the Aerial Application industry.
Here is an example - this handout is one type delivered at farm shows by Thrush..
Also, Thrush is the only AG aircraft manufacturer to attend Osh Kosh. Their primary motive is that a large number of rural people attend this show. Getting the message to the farm gate about the aerial application industry and the advancements in the industry from the old "crop dusting" days is the key objective. We at Yorkton Aircraft appreciate their work, we are certain today's aerial applicator does as well.
Did you know:
THRUSH was the first AG Plane manufacturere to promote Aerial Application at the World's largest aviation show, OSH KOSH - That's support!
On board now is Air Tractor and the NAAA.
This is from 2013, but we are still so darn proud...
Yes we are a CERTIFIED, FACTORY APPOINTED Thrush Dealer
Thrush Ag aircraft are designed with pilots in mind. They are built to make your life easier and your job more successful. When your work as an ag pilot is in the cockpit of a Thrush, it's going to be a good day at the office.
That's why, at Yorkton Aircraft Service, we are proud to be a Certified Thrush Dealer. We believe it was time the Canadian Ag industry had a Canadian dealer represent Canada operators!
Thrush appointed us because of our proven model of dependable service to the Ag Industry and our reputation. Commitment proven over 25 years of business runs deep. Also, we won the appointment because we do not run an Aerial Application operation. Thrush believes their representatives should be independent, not competitors - and we agree. Our customers, not our own operation, come first.
Founder of Yorkton Aircraft, Allan Denesowych, was an AME and a Commercial Ag Pilot. He gave up flying Ag because he didn't like the model of competing with the very customer he needed to make his shop successful. It was the right thing to do and he has taken this philosophy with him as Yorkton Aircraft has grown.
We will give this aircraft the same attention and support we give all of our product lines. And we will give you all of our attention too. We are committed to keeping you and the aircraft in the air, because that's where you make your money.

Grating Cheese Assortment in Gift Box
We assembled this quartet from among the world's favorite hard cheeses. Such cheeses are perfect for grating over pasta, soup, Caesar salad, or any other culinary creation that calls for a little cheese.
- Parmigiano Reggiano comes from the adjacent regions of Parma and Reggio Emilia and is often called the "King Of All Cheeses". There are many reasons for this title, namely its savory flavor, its huge size (80 lb. wheel) and its history dating back to the tenth century. (8 oz)
- Grana Padano comes from Italy's Po Valley and is made from the same ancient recipe as Parmigiano Reggiano. Our version is called Stravecchio Oro del Tempo, meaning it is extra aged and hand-selected for quality. (8 oz)
- Lithuanian Sardo is a more modern cheese. Initially, it was a copy of a Sardinian cheese called Fiore Sardo, but over time it has developed a personality all its own. (8 oz)
- Pecorino Romano: Originally from Rome, today most Romano is made on the island of Sardinia. Made in giant 66 lb. wheels, Pecorino Romano not only grates nicely, it also makes perfect shavings for Carpaccio or tricolor salads. (8 oz)
- Mini Grater: This Mini Grater features a soft cushioned edge for the most comfortable handling while grating hard and soft cheeses.
- Gift Presentation: This gift assortment is packed in our signature chocolate colored gift box, finished with an elegant matching bow.

Fix for Smarterm macro error: "Error in line: Script is too large to be compiled"
I had long been besieged by this error, and I know I can't be the only one. I could find nothing regarding this error in the manual, the help file, or even endless Googling. Splitting your code out to multiple .stm macro files is the easy answer. But that is problematic because passing variables to functions between macro files is iffy at best. I don't think it's even possible without using precompiled files. I finally stumbled across this forum post….

Drawing women: the evolution of Lois Lane
Jess McCabe // 24 April 2011
In 1941, the executives who ran comics juggernaut DC forced the artists behind Superman to change the look of Lois Lane, with the aim of turning her into more of a "tasty dish".
Comic Book Resources has posted excerpts of a letter from Whitney Ellsworth to Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel, telling him that "better artists in this field draw their heroines more or less by a certain formula that makes them look desirable and cute".
The full letter is worth reading, and CBR has posted 'before' and 'after' images, showing how Lois Lane's look changed following this intervention from DC. It's revealing about attitudes to women's bodies at the time: women were meant to be pretty and desirable, but not too desirable or sexual. Ellsworth berates the artists for both drawing Lois Lane as unpretty, but also too "unpleasantly" sexy (really!!). But also, how does this relate to the evolution of women in superhero comics?
She looks pregnant. Murray [presumably Murray Boltinoff, longtime DC staffer – BC] suggests that you arrange for her to have an abortion or the baby and get it over with so that her figure can return to something a little more like the tasty dish she is supposed to be. She is much too stocky and much, MUCH too unpleasantly sexy.
He goes on to complain about the artists showing Lane as having hips, breasts and a stomach, and makes detailed suggestions on how she should look.
I'm no expert on the Superman comics – to me, Terri Hatcher's 1990s version embodies Lois Lane. But if this window into Lois' history is representative, by the late 1960s and early 1970s (see panel top right), Lois was characterised as "a posessive, jealous, needy, self-centered harpie who repeatedly attempts to persuade, bully or trick Superman into marrying her". In a slightly earlier comic found by io9, "Lois Lane has transformed herself into a massive Kryptonian insect who can withstand Superman's Übermenschy libido."
K Beaton of Hark! A Vagrant has hir own take on this, reimagining Superman as Lois' stalker… (H/T: @sphericalfruit)
Where now for Lois? One artist has tried to pitch a comic starring Lois Lane aged 11, aimed at young girls. But DC passed on the idea.
Another adaptation of Superman for the big screen is in the works right now, with Amy Adams cast as Lois. Already people are complaining that 36-year-old Adams is "too old" for the role. Sigh.
Comments From You

Thanks for posting this! I don't read CBR so would have missed the article.
Next, this is a bit off topic but I hope you'll let it through –
In regards to the Young Adult Lois series that was pitched and turned down, 2 other women led YA series have also recently been pitched and turned down. A Batgirl teen detective one, and a YA Wonder Woman one. A friend of mine has suggested starting a campaign to DC to convince them to invest the YA women/girl friendly books. If you are interested in helping out or finding out more have a look here:

I looked up Amy Adams after you mentioned her. She's stunningly beautiful, and in exactly that sort of art-deco way DC comic book characters are meant to be. I sturggle to grasp how she could be considered too old for the role. Personally I can't understand Henry Cavill for the Man of Steel part.

Ascent of the A-Word: Assholism, The First Sixty Years
By Geoffrey Nunberg
272 pages
Linguist and Berkeley professor Geoffrey Nunberg states early in his new book Ascent of the A-Word: Assholism, the First Sixty Years, "What I'm interested in isn't a distinct species of congenital jerks, but a social condition and a disposition that everyone is liable to on trying occasions." He dismisses those who would limn the subtle distinctions between an "asshole" an "assclown" or a "douchebag," writing, "despite the variation[s], everyone recognizes asshole as the primary name of a basic category of American moral life." Which is to say, we know it when we see it.
Fair enough, but it must be said, his book dedicates much ink to bolstering the word's distinctions. "When you hear someone proudly declaring himself an asshole, it's a fair conclusion that he's not an asshole at all, he's just a dick," he later writes. A dick knows what he is and how people perceive him. But according to Nunberg, an asshole is a singly different species. Plagued by "obtuseness," he "... imagines that his role or status gives him privileges that aren't really his to claim."
Nunberg cites a man barging to the front of the line in a crowded car rental agency on 9/11 to demand, "Where's the Hertz Gold Card line?" This is the vague, yet precise, definition he establishes before moving on to his larger beast: "assholism," a form of public behavior whereby, "The more of an asshole you can make your adversaries seem, the more of an asshole you can permit yourself to appear, so as to bond with your fellows with provocative gestures of insensitivity..."
As one example, Nunberg mentions Ann Coulter's Muslim-bashing, which he suspects she does for the sole purpose of rallying her fans and enraging "the libs." He lists others, left and right, from Paul Krugman to Donald Trump, but it's worth noting that here we've already replaced his earlier meaning with something else. If assholism is the witting provocation of one's adversaries, then its defining characteristic is not obtuseness so much as the effective opposite: intentionality.
Let's agree that the man with the Hertz Gold Card is probably an asshole (here the word has a kind of verisimilitude, or as Nunberg puts it, it's just the "shoe that fits"); but if that's assholism, it isn't the same thing as what so many politicians, media personalities and their followers do. Aren't they just engaging in plain old partisan dog-whistling, central in any democracy?
Nunberg asserts that the nature of our politics, the media and the Internet have "created a host of new occasions for acting like assholes and new ways of performing assholism," which constitutes a new age. But he is at pains to distinguish assholism from that tired old saw, "incivility," which he admits is nothing new. He says it's assholism because of its tone and method of delivery -- because we're uncivil in new ways. But isn't this the same light source merely refracting through a newer medium?
Nunberg also argues that this is the Age of the Asshole because we now "find the phenomenon and its practitioners so interesting." But a cursory glance at past literature shows plenty of compelling and "compellingly repugnant" characters who fit Nunberg's asshole, from Homer's Agamemnon to Melville's Ahab to Chekhov's smug, fatuous huntsman, Yegor Vlasych. Nunberg himself invokes Shakespeare's Malvolio.
Why are characters such as these so compelling, then as now? It's a valid question, but the phenomenon itself isn't new. For the Greeks and Melville these characters served a didactic purpose to warn against hubris. Perhaps we enjoy watching assholes tempt their fate, or even overturn it. Perhaps we all have an asshole id in need of succor. Or maybe assholes behaving badly aren't what's compelling at all. There are plenty of assholes, boring as a doorknob, who get no more attention than anyone else.
Nunberg's diagnosis of public life seems unnecessary. The book is far more interesting as a linguistic study. Its middle chapters return a profit tracing the historical evolution of the word's meaning. WWII soldiers coined it. It took to literature in Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead, then was adopted by the counter-culture of the 60s, by country singers like Willie Nelson and David Allan Coe, by the feminist movement, and so forth. This signifies an unprecedented occurrence: an obscenity emerging from traditionally "low society" to be used by all classes. Never was a word that you're not supposed to say naturalized in such a way. This is the discussion, fascinating on its own, that leads him to his grand theory of assholism today.
But, ultimately, what's most interesting isn't that "assholism" might encapsulate early 21st century life. It's that we as a culture would need such a word in the first place. What void did it fill in our shared consciousness, our exchange of ideas? Perhaps the answer lies with George Orwell, who, in the same decade that asshole began its ascent, lamented the bleeding of all meaning from words of former force and import. "The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies 'something not desirable,'" Orwell wrote in "Politics and the English Language," also listing "democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice." These terms, still constantly bandied about, are bereft of substance while asshole is so potent as to be proffered to label an entire age. If this is the Age of the Asshole, it isn't because we suddenly find assholes compelling, or because it's easier than ever to be one. It's because it's one of the few words left that we all seem to actually understand. These days, if you're not a socialist then you must be a fascist; but we're all assholes now.

The deal is done for Laurence Fishburne to join CBS' CSI, filling the void that will be left by William Petersen's exit.
Fishburne will debut in this season's ninth episode - very tentatively slated to air Dec. 11, around the same time that Gil will go bye-bye - playing a former pathologist who is now teaching a college course in criminalistics. In the midst of a murder investigation, his character crosses paths with Grissom's team and ultimately joins the Las Vegas crime lab as a Level-1 CSI.
"Gil will definitely have an opinion on who this guy is," exec producer Naren Shankar previews for TVGuide.com. "The idea is, in Episodes 9 and 10, to see a lot of Billy and Laurence together."
As previously teased, Fishburne's alter ego (who is currently nameless and referred to simply as "the Professor" in the CSI writers room) is an expert at understanding how and why people commit acts of violence tendencies he sees within himself. That said, previous reports that this newcomer shares a DNA trait with serial killers are not accurate. "In reality there is no such thing," says Shankar. "He is a character who has been able to examine his own genetic profile [and] find certain clusters of biological facts that... are associated with aggressiveness or criminal behavior. That's all it is."
Shankar and fellow CSI executive producer Carol Mendelsohn say that Fishburne topped their wish list for the role, calling him "a powerful and intense actor with an incredible range."
"If you distill CSI down to its essence, it's a collaboration," a statement from the two says, "and we are so looking forward to collaborating with Mr. Fishburne. For all of us at CSI, this is truly a dream." - Matt Mitovich

We report on the French court ruling that could put many a publisher off using RSS feeds17 Apr 2008
A text transcription follows.
This transcript is for anyone with a hearing impairment or who for any other reason cannot listen to the MP3 audio file.
The following is the text spoken by OUT-LAW journalist Matthew Magee.
Hello and welcome to Out Law Radio, the weekly podcast that keeps you up to date on all the twists and turns in the world of technology law.
Every week we bring you the latest news and in depth features that help you to make sense of the ever changing laws that govern technology today.
My name is Matthew Magee, and this week we investigate some of the dangers of web 2.0 with the revelation that for the first time a court has found a website responsible for the content of publishers through RSS.
But first, the news:
Privacy watchdog wants business to reveal data losses; and Music industry demands iPod tax
The privacy watchdog for EU institutions has called for a planned requirement for telecoms companies to publish details of information security breaches to be extended to banks, businesses and medical bodies.
The European Commission has proposed a data breach notification law which would force telecoms companies to tell customers when personal information had been lost. The European Data Protection Supervisor has said that if the proposal is designed to help prevent identity theft it must be extended to include banks, businesses and others.
Controversy surrounds plans for data breach notification laws because they are opposed not only by many businesses but also by some privacy and data protection experts.
The EDPS said that in the US the existence of a security breach notification has been a factor that drives up investment in security.
The UK music industry has rejected the Government's proposal to legalise the transfer of music from CDs to MP3 players without a levy. It has asked for a tax on devices like Apple's iPods which it said should compensate artists for the transfer.
The Government has proposed legalising the format shifting of music to computers and MP3 players as long as the CD was paid for, the transfer happens just once and is for personal use only. Currently the practice, which is near ubiquitous amongst MP3 player owners, infringes copyright law.
The Music Business Group, an umbrella group of trade bodies representing music managers, songwriters, publishers and performers has proposed a levy on the devices that might play transferred music, principally MP3 players. That levy, or licence, would be set not by the Government but by industry in negotiations with device makers.
That was this week's OUT-LAW news.
The modern internet is now mostly made up of other people's stuff. Whether it be blog comments, cross posts, message boards or mash ups, web publishing is these days as much a question of assembly and re jigging as it is of creation.
One of the most popular ways to bring other people's content on to your site is RSS, or Really Simple Syndication. Out Law has discovered that a landmark ruling in France in March found that a site operator was responsible for any unlawful content which comes through that RSS feed.
The collaborative internet has just become more dangerous. RSS is a means of sharing content – usually headlines and a brief summary – between sites or from one site to an individual computer. When new stories are published on one site they appear automatically on any others that use that site's RSS feed. Three French websites, though, have just been found liable for material that appeared on their sites automatically via RSS. They argued that they had no editorial role in actually publishing those specific stories, but the court found them responsible.
The ruling, which could change the nature of RSS in France, is thought to be the first time that any court in any country has held someone responsible for someone else's RSS feed.
The case involved Olivier Dahan, Director of the double Oscar winning Edith Piaf biopic La vie en Rose. Dahan sued three sites - Planete Soft, Aadsoft and Lespipoles – for invasion of his privacy in relation to stories about him and actress Sharon Stone. Emmanuel Asmar was his lawyer.
Asmar: That case that was the - you know what an RSS is - it's a link. It's a very specific link but this link provides of course the link plus some short resumé of - short summary sorry - of some content. We won. The judgment said. We won first on the author, on the original author of the information. Second, it was on the link. They were sentenced because they published the link.
The court rejected the site owners' arguments that they were not editorially involved in the story. From a rough translation by OUT-LAW , its ruling said:
"The defender has, in signing up to the order and organising them according to their themes, acted as an editor and must therefore assume responsibility for the information which is displayed on his own site.
In this particular case the RSS reader displayed information not only made up of a simple link but both the title and the snippet of the information appeared. "Sharon Stone and Olivier Dahan, the star has a romantic embrace with the director". This was sufficient to constitute an attack on his private life."
The implications of the ruling could be enormous in France. If your website subscribes to someone else's news feed you're unlikely to be able to vet every story that appears from the feed. This judgment may put French publishers off using RSS feeds altogether. Publishers outside France will simply hope that their own courts don't follow it.
Asmar is the lawyer behind another recent crucial judgment in which bloggers and a web publisher were found liable for invasion of privacy because they published a link to material on someone else's site.
Kylie Minogue's ex boyfriend Olivier Martinez sued two bloggers and one publisher of reader submitted links successfully.
Asmar: On behalf of Olivier Martinez we sued on the basis of violation of his private life privacy. Different types of websites that were publishing the news regarding his private life which was at the time, was he or not coming back with Kylie Minogue. And he asked me to sue them to protect his private life. We sued everybody and actually we won against everybody. And the new thing about these rulings is - these judgments - they said that they were not responsible for the contents since they were not editor, they were only services providers. And the judge said: no, once you decide to publish information which by nature is an attempt or a violation of the private life of anybody, you're responsible for that.
The rulings could have been more severe. The publishers were ordered to pay between €500 and €800 plus €1000 in costs each because the judge noted that not many people had viewed the material.
But the principle has been established.
Media law expert Kim Walker of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out Law, said that these issues are largely untested in the UK courts.
Walker: For there to be defamation under UK law, defamatory material has to be published and you can only be liable as a publisher if you are instrumental in making that material known to the public. And I think it would be argued presumably that by providing a link you are effectively letting the world find out about that defamatory material and you have taken a positive act by putting the link up on your site to publish the material. There have obviously been a number of cases on defamation via the internet but they've all been direct, much more apparent publication where defamatory material has been posted or hosted. I'm not aware of any cases in the UK where it's been disseminated by a link.
Walker said, though, that judges in the UK might be wary of setting too strict a precedent when it comes to responsibility for linked to material.
Walker: I suppose it would have a potential chilling effect on linking and I should also say that I think it's unlikely that the use of a disclaimer would actually necessarily get you out of liability. The internet is based on linking and I would have thought the courts would try hard not to produce a result that meant that linking became less and less prevalent. In reality I think linking would obviously still continue because that's what the internet is all about.
The risk in the UK is less to do with privacy and more to do with responsibility for linked to material that might be defamatory. In fact there could be a century old precedent that's already established exactly that liability.
Though there was no internet in the nineteenth century there was, from 1870, the Defamation Act. In 1894 the Court of Appeal made a ruling which has been cited since in defamation cases, and which may well influence any future case.
In Hird versus Wood the court heard that a man who sat beside a roadside placard containing defamatory material was liable for that defamation simply because he was drawing the attention of passers by to it.
Walker said that it would be a fair analogy to use for hyperlinking.
Walker: I think it's a very good analogy. The English common law is based on precedents and that is a precedent, clearly a precedent. So it's the sort of case that would be brought up and argued.
Asmar said that the ruling is already having an effect in France, and that other celebrities are filing cases based on it. It will, he says, change the way that publishing works there.
Asmar: I think it's going to be a precedent. And now we see a lot of people suing, websites before the French courts.
Magee: Since this ruling?
Asmar: Yes. Well they're certainly going to think twice and they're going to think whether they can afford being liable for that and maybe they going to be able to pay any sentence. They should, maybe be sentenced or they're going to say well no, we're not going to publish it. So in terms of liability it's - they're liable for what they do.
It's impossible to say how the UK courts will deal with a libel linking case, but it could well be that the future of the links based internet in the UK will be strongly influenced by these ancient and modern rulings involving Kylie Minogue, Sharon Stone and a Victorian roadside placard pointer.
That's all we have time for this week, thanks for listening. Why not get in touch with Out-Law Radio? Do you know of a technology law story? We'd love to hear from you on firstname.lastname@example.com.

I finished my HAPPY DAYS BLANKET almost two weeks ago, but due to rainy weather I have been unable to take photos outside!
Monday we had a fabulously sunny day - so the first thing I did was run outside and start taking photos!
I added two rows of double crochet to each 28cm x 28cm square using a colour called "Storm" before joining them with the VISIBLE JOIN in Light Grey
For the BORDER AND EDGING I used Light Grey, Green and Orange
I think the contrast makes for quite a striking finish

What a wonderful blanket! So colorful and cheerful, and edging is a masterpiece :)ReplyDelete
I know how you feel about needing to wait for decent weather to take pictures! I had to take pics at night yesterday even though I prefer daylight. It gets dark so early in Germany these days...ReplyDelete
Lovely blanket :) Nice mix of colours.
Take care
How gorgeous and cheerful is that!ReplyDelete

New stretch target
If this has been published it means I have made over my target! (which would be mental, thank you!!!!!) I could still use the money for loads of stuff! Stocks, nicer furniture, fancy art, bigger coffee machine, pay staff better wages from the start rather than what I can afford to pay right now! Thanks kind people! YOU ARE THE BEST! x
I have been dreaming of opening my own cafe for almost 15 years now but I have put it off forever because I've had a job and giving it up seemed crazy risky or simply I haven't had the confidence to do it! But seeing as I got made redundant when my leg broke I felt it was a sign to make it happen!
I have a bit of start up money saved up but it is not quite enough so I thought I'd see if I could get a little help from my friends and family members. I hope this isn't too cheeky for me to ask, I know everyone has their own dreams so I understand if you are saving for them yourself.
I have over 15 years of experience in either cafes, restaurants or catering and I have experience in textiles and design so I am hoping it'll at least have the best cushions in town anyway!
Each donation will receive something back so you are not just throwing your money at me and getting nothing back ... although there is an option to throw money at me if you want to, I'm not stupid!
I want the cafe to be open to people with all dietary requirements, I have lots of friends and family that are coeliac, vegan, vegetarian, diabetic and just love ALL the foods! I want Lovelock's to be a place where they don't just have one choice on the menu, it isn't just one thing, its everything! It will also have meat and gluten though...I'm sorry...but I really like ALL the foods.
It'd great if you could help me out, I'd love you forever and a day and maybe even a bit longer. I hope to see all your fantastic faces there in the near future!
Lots of love,
Lovelock x

John P. Johnson/AP
This image released by HBO shows Evan Rachel Wood in a scene from "Westworld." Wood was nominated for an Emmy Award for outstanding lead actress in a drama series on Thursday, July 13, 2017.
So, you're a fan of the Emmy-winning series "Westworld." Well' we've got some good news for you — there's a chance to be part of the show right here in Utah.
The HBO show, which is shot in southern Utah, is looking for extras to fill out the 1890s-era Western town where it's set, Fox 13 reported. Extras are needed in mid- to late October, once filming for the show's second season starts up, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
People of all ethnicities are needed, Fox 13 reported. However, some specific extras needed for the show include Native American and Chinese men and women, as well as military types, the Tribune reported.
Otherwise, the casting agency that's looking for extras — Bill Dance Casting — says men must have 1890s-appropriate facial hair or be clean-shaven, the Tribune reported. Women must have long, natural hair that's a single color.
Though specifics about pay weren't available, Fox 13 reported that a news release related to the casting said people will be compensated for their time.
Anyone who's 18 or older and interested in being part of the show should contact [email protected] with a few pieces of information, according to the Tribune. That includes:

Embryologically, the genital and urinary systems are intimately related. Associated anomalies of the two systems are commonly encountered. ++ The Kidneys ++ The kidneys pass through three embryonic phases (Figure 38–1): (1) The pronephros is a vestigial structure without function in human embryos that, except for its primary duct, disappears completely by the fourth week. (2) The pronephric duct gains connection to the mesonephric tubules and becomes the mesonephric duct. While most of the mesonephric tubules degenerate, the mesonephric duct persists bilaterally; from where it bends to open into the cloaca, the ureteral bud grows cranially to interact with the metanephric blastema. (3) This forms the metanephros, which is the final phase. The metanephros develops into the kidney. During cephalad migration and rotation, the metanephric tissue progressively enlarges, with rapid internal differentiation into the nephron and the uriniferous tubules. Simultaneously, the cephalad end of the ureteral bud expands and divides within the metanephros to form the renal pelvis, calices, and collecting tubules. ++Figure 38–1.Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)Schematic of the development of the nephric system. Only a few of the tubules of the pronephros are seen early in the fourth week, while the mesonephric tissue differentiates into mesonephric tubules that progressively join the mesonephric duct. The first sign of the ureteral bud from the mesonephric duct is seen at 4 weeks. At 6 weeks, the pronephros has completely degenerated and the mesonephric tubules start to do so. The ureteral bud grows dorsocranially and has met the metanephric blastema. At the eighth week, there is cranial migration of the differentiating metanephros. The cranial end of the ureteral bud expands and starts to show multiple successive outgrowths (renal calices). ++ The Bladder & Urethra ++ Subdivision of the cloaca (the blind end of the hindgut) into a ventral (urogenital sinus) and a dorsal (rectum) segment is completed during the seventh week and initiates early differentiation of the urinary bladder and urethra. The urogenital sinus receives the mesonephric duct and absorbs its caudal end, so that by the end of the seventh week, the ureteral bud and mesonephric duct have independent openings. The ureteral orifice migrates upward and laterally. The mesonephric duct orifice moves downward and medially, and the structure in between (the trigone) is formed by the absorbed mesodermal tissue, which maintains direct continuity between the two tubes (Figure 38–2). ++Figure 38–2.Graphic Jump LocationView Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)The development of the ureteral bud from the mesonephric duct and their relationship to the urogenital sinus.

'American Idol' Snap Judgement: What to Expect From Season 13
The Fox singing competition unveils raw footage of the Boston auditions for the press, highlighting the chemistry between judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr.
For the first time ever, Fox has released raw, unedited footage of the upcoming season of American Idol to the press -- nearly 13 minutes' worth. And while we can't share the snippets with you, Idol Worshippers, we can offer you some hints of what's to come.
PHOTOS: 'American Idol' Judges Past and Present
The package, unveiled last week, includes a sneak peek of American Idol 13's judging panel of Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick Jr., the shiny new audition room setup, the revamped look of the famed golden ticket and several intriguing auditions.
One thing is clear: The show is definitely going back to its original mission of shining the spotlight where it belongs -- on emerging new talent. Also worth noting: The chemistry of the panel is undeniably positive. All three judges on the extremely photogenic panel complement each other, practically finishing each other's sentences with an ease that was absent from last year's crew. Lopez is comfortably ensconced between her two dashing co-stars, while Urban and Connick are seemingly enjoying somewhat of a bromance.
A major positive so far is the addition of Connick, who is diving into his new job with enthusiasm and wit.
"The idea of being part of the discovery process with these young entertainers is really exciting," he said in the clip. "It's the biggest format for young artists. It attracts the greatest talent. There is no other show on television that has such a roster of success."
PHOTOS: A Day in the Life of 'Idol' Music Director Ray Chew
The judges' chemistry is evident, and they seem to be genuinely enjoying each other's company as they evaluate the young hopefuls -- including one named Troy, who twerks while singing "Over the Rainbow."
"Do you twerk, J.Lo?" he asks.
"I'm not much of a twerker these days," she quips back.
However, Lopez is game as she encourages the boy's audition, and as they put him through, she gently gives him advice.
"I want everybody to take you seriously," she tells him. "You might twerk on it a little bit more."
Not missing a beat, Connick chimes in with his own puns, and the tone is immediately set for what looks to be a very fun season.
Worth noting: three white guys with guitars. One in a wheelchair, one who threatens to do an original, and a 17-year-old troubadour named Sam who delivers a beautiful -- albeit rushed -- version of "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran.
As for the toughest judge? That would be Connick. One contestant told the new judge that the word on the street was that he was "harsh."
American Idol returns in January.

For the first time in several seasons the Hartford Symphony Orchestra opened their Masterworks Series in the Mortensen Hall at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts. This event was an impressive celebration that initiated the orchestra's 70th anniversary season.
Even before the music started something unusual happened. Musicians from the Connecticut Youth Symphony appeared onstage to join the Hartford Symphony musicians who were already warming up. They sat alongside the HSO musicians and played the first two works on the program.

text: TOKYO, Japan - In December 2011, we reported that one Ferrari driver's error of judgment caused a huge crash involving 14 cars.Seven Ferraris, three Mercedes, a Lamborghini and a very unfortunate Toyota Prius crashed into each other in wet weather on a highway between Kyushu and Hiroshima in Japan while they were being driven by a group of car enthusiasts.The pile-up was triggered when a Ferrari driver lost control while trying to overtake on a bend, hit the median barrier and caused the other vehicles to smash into each other. DRIVERS TO BLAMEIn March 2013, Japanese authorities said they want to charge ten drivers involved in the R37-million supercar pile-up.Police sent a case against a 61-year-old man and nine others to prosecutors on suspicion of violating traffic laws. The final decision on whether to charge the drivers rests with prosecutors.Police say ten drivers, aged between 38 and 61, were exceeding the speed limit or not paying attention to the road.At the time of the accident, television showed footage of the badly crumpled cars, most of them red, some with airbags deployed during a smash that injured six people.Tanaka said: "It's rare to see a chain-reaction accident like this involving expensive cars. Some of the drivers told us they didn't really know the specifications of their cars or just how powerful their acceleration was."The drivers were on their way to a supercar event in Hiroshima.Watch the video

The new Jaguar C-X75 concept vehicle has been officially unveiled at this year's Paris Motor Show and it is one special beast. Continuing to commemorate the brand's 75th anniversary, the Jaguar C-X75 concept is powered by four electric motors, one for each wheel. If that's not ultra-modern enough, there are micro gas-turbines that generate electricity for the batteries. The two gas-turbines can generate as much as 140kW of power offering the "range-extended electric supercar" a range of up to 900km.
In total the Jaguar C-X75 develops 800 bhp and a stomach-turning 1200 lb-ft of torque. With this massive serve of raw power, the Jaguar C-X75 is able to shift from standing to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds and up to a top speed of 330km/h. Good times. Apparently the concept can run on just its batteries for around 100km before the twin turbines engage and extend the range to it's full 900km.
Naturally the C-X75 is built with the help of lightweight aluminum construction techniques and features active aerodynamics, including a complex underbody Venturi system.
Inside, the seats are fixed in place, with the steering wheel, instruments and pedals moving to accommodate the driver. Three high-res TFT screens present driver information, with readouts and displays changeable between all of the screens
Jaguar hasn't announced whether or not it will put the Jaguar C-X75 concept into production, but it's fairly clear this is a pure concept vehicle with little to no production consideration. However, it may feature some technologies the iconic carmaker will use in its next 75 years.
Check out images of the Jaguar C-X75 in the gallery below.

A man runs into the vet's office carrying his dog, screaming for help. The vet rushes him back to an examination room and has him put his dog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp body and after a few moments tells the man that his dog, regrettably, is dead.
The man, clearly agitated and not willing to accept this, demands a second opinion.
The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat and puts the cat down next to the dog's body. The cat sniffs the body, walks from head to tail poking and sniffing the dog's body and finally looks at the vet and meows.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead.
The vet brings in a black labrador. The lab sniffs the body, walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks.
The vet looks at the man and says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead too."
The man, finally resigned to the diagnosis, thanks the vet and asks how much he owes.
The vet answers, "$650."
"$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaimed the man.
"Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you $50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional $600 was for the cat scan and lab tests."
A doctor had just finished a marathon sex session with one of his patients. He was resting afterwards and was feeling a bit guilty because he thought it wasn't really ethical to screw one of his patients.
However, a little voice in his head said "Lots of other doctors have sex with their patients so its not like you're the first..."
This made the doctor feel a little bit better until still another voice in his head said, "... but they probably weren't veterinarians"
Santa Claus brings poor Rudolph to the vet. He says to the vet, "Doctor, please do something for my Rudolph. His nose won't light up." The vet walks out of the room and returns with a pet carrier. He places the pet carrier next to the reindeer, opens it and out steps a cat. The cat walks around the reindeer and sniffs it. The cat then walks back into the carrier. The animal doctor takes it out of the room and returns. He hands Santa Claus the bill. Santa gasps, "$350 dollars! You didn't do anything for my Rudolph and you're charging me $350 dollars?" The vet shrugged and replied, "That's the usual charge. $50 dollars for the office visit and $300 dollars for the CAT SCAN."-1+
A man staggers into an emergency room with two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally the doctor asks him what happened.
"Well, it was like this," said the man, "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows. We went to look for it and while I was rooting around, I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail and sure enough, there was my wife's golf ball--stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt. That's when I made my mistake."
"What did you do?" asks the doctor.
"Well, I lifted the tail and yelled to my wife, 'Hey, this looks like yours!' "
There was once an aspiring veterinarian who put himself through veterinary school working nights as a taxidermist.
Upon graduation, he decided he could combine his two vocations to better serve the needs of his patients and their owners, while doubling his practice and, therefore, his income.
He opened his own offices with a shingle on the door saying, "Dr. Jones, Veterinary Medicine and Taxidermy -- Either way, you get your dog back!"

Magnolia Home Entertainment's Magnet Releasing will release 13 ASSASSINS on DVD and Blu-ray on July 5. Special features will include a making-of featurette and a trailer. Both versions also contain a digital copy. The cover art can be viewed below.
Unfortunately, this release will be of the 126-minute international cut, which is missing about 15 minutes of the original Japanese run time. No word on the reasoning behind this, but naturally, some people are upset.
This one may not be a horror flick, a samurai epic with plenty of bloody action from proven filmmaker Takashi Miike (AUDITION, ICHI THE KILLER). It's written by Daisuke Tengan (AUDITION), as based on the screenplay of the 1963 Japanese film THE THIRTEEN ASSASSINS, which itself is based on a true story. Koji Yakusho, Takayuki Yamada, Hiroki Matsukata and Kazuki Namioka star.
Cult director Takashi Miike delivers a bravado action film set at the end of Japan's feudal era in which a brave group of elite samurai are enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord and his army to prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a wartorn future.

Kanye West, Jimmy Kimmel settle feud on TV
The hatchet has been buried. Fortunately, it wasn't in Jimmy Kimmel's skull.
Outspoken and out-there hip hop star Kanye West appeared on last night's Jimmy Kimmel Live! to confront the talk show host mano-a-mano, less than two weeks after the rapper and the comedian waged a war of words on Twitter.
West said while he was furious with Kimmel, his anger was also directed at tabloid newspapers, gossip sites and the rest of the rumour-mongers dragging him down, and Kimmel happened to be a convenient target when West's temper finally boiled over.
"At a certain point these egos can flare up everything and we kind of just took it back to high school for a little bit," said West.
"And I got beat up a lot in high school," said Kimmel.
The feud began when Kimmel mocked a self-aggrandizing interview West had done with BBC radio. On his show, Kimmel aired a skit recreating of a portion of the interview with children playing the roles of West and radio DJ Zane Lowe.
A livid Ye responded with an all-caps Twitter tirade against Kimmel, with gems like, "JIMMY KIMMEL PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES… OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD P***Y IN YOUR LIFE" and "SARAH SILVERMAN IS A THOUSAND TIMES FUNNIER THAN YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT!!!" (Silverman, Kimmel's ex-girlfriend, would later tweet a response that she was "5x funnier AT BEST.")
But as of last night, all appears to have been forgiven. During the 40-minute interview, much of which was a stream-of-consciousness monologue by West, the music titan talked about everything from the perils of celebrity to Kimmel's resemblance to SpongeBob SquarePants to the booming business of leather jogging pants.
Kimmel, for his part, was exceedingly polite and contrite. "A lot of times I think you bring it on yourself, this misunderstanding about you," he meekly ventured at one point.
"I'm totally weird and I'm totally honest and I'm totally inappropriate sometimes," said West.

Cheaper iPhone Rumored To Cost Between $99 and $149
Longtime rumors about a cheaper iPhone now have a potential price tag attached for the first time: $99 to $149.
Bloomberg quotes the figure from a person involved in negotiations for the phone. The reported price point follows an earlier report in the Wall Street Journal that said Apple was seriously considering a new, cheaper iPhone to be released in late 2013.
In the past, Apple has avoided discount electronics in favor of top-of-the-line models with premium margins. But less expensive phones running on Google's Android operating system have made major gains in the last year. Apple once commanded 23 percent of the worldwide smartphone market, but that share has fallen below 15 percent in recent quarters.
Apple already offers discounted versions of the earlier-generation iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The new phone would likely retain the latest features but come with less expensive parts.

As I s et out on the street on my way to college, the carefree complacent attitude that I carry like a piece of jewellery that adorns my personality instead of the quintessential 'sharam' which is commonly accepted as a woman's 'gehna' is questioned by passersby.
They do not question me in the literal sense of the word. They question everything about me through the demeaning glances that they cast on me, through their eyes which are the most eloquent of their senses. The eloquence that I speak of does not have any positive connotation whatsoever. This silent eloquence of their eyes speaks louder than words.
It is this eloquence that me brings me crashing down to the depths of reality that it wasn't my confident stride that these passersby question and stare at, in wonder, at least I thought so; but it's actually the clothes that I have worn.
Mind you, that these passersby are not merely men, they are women too who stare at me, dumbstruck as if I do not belong to this planet!
Women look at me with the expression that "you shouldn't wear such clothes, you might attract unwanted attention". Men look at me showering me with that unwanted attention that those women warned me of...
Thanks to this vociferous 'silent eloquence', the secret of the underlying subjugation that women are subjected to apart from the perceptible forms of rape, sexual abuse, domestic violence began to unravel . This underlying subjugation I realised is in the form of representation of women in media, advertisements, television shows, the language that we use. This form of subjugation is omnipresent. And I discovered that I am a victim to this kind of subjugation. All of us are, the only difference being that some of us are aware of it and some of us like to live in the bubble of oblivion. However, there are some women who break away from the shackles of oblivion and raise their voice against this form of subjugation.
In the recent past ,the loudest voice in this context has been that of Bollywood actress, Deepika Padukone who exposed the nadir of insensitivity of a leading news daily when it tweeted a photo with a link to a photo gallery with the caption, 'OMG: Deepika Padukone's cleavage show'. Deepika's apt response to such fiendish, utterly unjustified behaviour on the part of one of India's well established media houses was applauded by a plethora of Bollywood celebrities and an overwhelming majority of Indian youth who condemned such an act on various social media platforms. As would be inevitable in such a case, it attracted great media attention. However, what captured my undivided attention was the following question-"Had it be me and not Deepika Padukone to have raised my voice against say, an act of eave teasing, would my interview have flooded Facebook newsfeeds and statuses." Don't worry; this is not a trick question. The answer is pretty simple, I am not Deepika Padukone. So what would I have to do to make my voice heard? Become a film actress? The question that I have raised here might seem absolutely absurd to some, but in my eyes it is a perfectly legitimate concern to express. Firstly, I have a name to call these people by. These people belong to a 'highly glorified' creed of 'word warriors.' They know how to fight, but mind you, only with the valour of their tongues or perhaps, their keyboards.
I would like to address these word warriors and tell them that the next time they caste one of their glaring stares or become a woman's worst nightmare, they must remember that:
"Steel is sometimes covered in velvet and...Courage doesn't always roar"

In this 50th anniversary year of the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a new book by Vanity Fair editor and Politico senior writer Todd Purdum, An Idea Whose Time Has Come (Henry Holt & Co., 2014) recounts the dramatic political battle to pass this important law that in many ways helped create modern America.
Pardum's book revisits a turbulent time in America, a time of sit-ins, freedom rides, and the March on Washington. During this time, John F. Kennedy sent Congress a bill to bar racial discrimination in employment, education and public accommodations.
In a powerful narrative layered with revealing detail, Purdum recreates the legislative maneuvering and the larger-than-life characters who made the bill's passage possible. From the Kennedy brothers to Lyndon Johnson, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Hubert Humphrey and Everett Dirksen,
Purdum shows how these all-too-human figures managed, in just over a year, to create a bill that prompted the longest filibuster in the history of the U.S. Senate yet was ultimately adopted with overwhelming bipartisan support. Pardum draws on extensive archival research and dozens of new interviews that bring to life this signal achievement in American history.

Most anyone who has taken a statistics class has heard the example of the incidence of rape rising when sales of ice cream increase. Does that mean rape is more likely to occur as ice cream sales rise? The evidence says yes.
But would banning ice cream sales result in a reduction in the number of rapes? Almost certainly not. Why? Because the correlation does not demonstrate the causation. Looked at another way, they have a shared cause, but there is no correlation. The cause in both cases is hotter temperatures. That is, rape is more likely to occur in warmer months, just as ice cream sales shoot up during the hot summer season. Banning the sale of ice cream to reduce rape makes about as much sense as banning guns to reduce violence.
We get bombarded with stats, figures and polling data every day. Much of this, particularly the polling data, is next to useless. But it doesn't stop the media from fixating on often-times meaningless numbers to tell a story. Real facts and figures are harder to explain, thus the preferred use of polling numbers.
But hard facts don't lie. According to the FBI, in 2011 there were 8,583 firearm-related Continue reading "Addressing gun violence one bumper-sticker solution at a time"
