Personality can be expressed in different ways. A sharp suit can display power, tattoos can exude your creativity, and wearing Lululemons while sipping on a Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte almost always shows off your basic-ness. Your home and the way you decorate it is no exception. While you don't think the colors you paint your walls or the type of sofa you buy reflect on who you are as a person, they totally do.
The living room is often the most central part of someone's home. It's a communal space for entertaining, hanging out, watching TV (unless you're one of those people who don't believe in TV's… I don't get you people) and relaxing. Because it's the most visible part of your home, it's important to know that the way it's decorated often leads people to making certain assumptions about you as a person. The following are 7 ways your living room reflects your personality.
6 Colors and Patterns Say A Lot
As is the case with almost anything, color choice says a whole lot about you. You can bet that the woman wearing the red and black lace wedding dress probably isn't the same type of person as the girl wearing the classic white one. Similarly, the color palette you choose for your living room (including your walls, flooring and furniture) can say many things.
Primarily dark colors show off a more edgy or self-assured side. If your living room palette lies anywhere in the darker area of the color wheel, you're probably a bolder and more forward person than someone who primarily uses soft creams or pastels.
Light-colored carpets, walls and furniture should be reserved for the more sophisticated (and less clumsy) among us. Spilling red wine on your just-delivered white suede sofa is a life lesson you'll likely never forget (at least I won't).
There's Nothing Worse Than a Stained Sofa
Choosing the following colors for your living room can indicate certain personality traits:
- Red- highly physical person who enjoys experiencing with all five senses
- Purple- requires emotional security (including spiritually), enjoys order and can be a perfectionist
- Yellow-likes to express your individuality through logic
- Orange- extremely sociable, requires acceptance and respect from others
- Brown- has a deep need for a safe and comfortable life surrounded by family and friends
Using patterns also give off a pretty accurate picture of who you are. The 35 year-old guy with the solar system printed wallpaper probably isn't someone you want to get involved with (not romantically, anyways), and if he has a zebra printed couch, it's a pretty sure bet he's not straight.
Classic pinstripes, on the other hand, almost always give off an air of class and pretty much tells people you have your life together. In my opinion, poor décor choices means poor life choices, and I don't want to be friends with someone who makes poor life choices. Do you? Choose wisely.
5 A Bad Piece of Furniture Can Define You
I know- this seems excessive. But let's work it out together here. You walk into someone's living room and they have one of those La-Z-Boy couches with the built-in fridge in the armrest. At first you think, "Cool, this person likes cold beverages".
But upon further reflection, it dawns on you that this person paid extra for a bulky piece of furniture that doubles as a kitchen appliance. What's next? A coffee table that can also heat soup? It's all about convenience right? No. Un-friend this person immediately.
Sometimes Furniture Can be Too Practical
While that's an extreme example, there are more subtle furniture choices that may inadvertently be showing off your personality. You can tell where someone's priorities lay with the seating their room offers. Ample, comfortable seating says that you're used to having people over and likes to entertain and hang out.
Contrastingly, you have the sparse, posh furniture that looks too nice for your butt to be touching. Those types of living rooms are more for tea parties and for people who wear their heels in the house. The key is to find a nice balance between beauty and practicality. There's a pretty strong linear correlation between a balanced living room and a balanced human being. Science.
4 Artwork Can Reflect Your Interests
Art is one of the more expressive forms of décor. Whether it's paintings, photos or sculptures, the art you choose for your living room can tell people you're anything from a straight-edged, law-abiding citizen to a crazy sadistic sociopath (or something in between, I guess).
There are the cookie cutter floral or landscape paintings that you can get at Ikea for 19.99$ and then there's the avant-garde conversation pieces that may or may not be suitable for children. The art you choose can tell people you're fun, eccentric, morose, well traveled, funky, silly, serious, etc…
A Picture Really Is Worth a Thousand Words
While someone who is more extroverted and thrives on being different may prefer a more shocking or controversial piece of art, an introvert who prefers going with the flow may decorate with art that is generally appealing to everyone.
A room full of family photos versus a room stripped of all things personal expresses your level of sentimentality, for example. If a guy has more pictures up of his cat Timothy than of his family, you might want to assume Timothy will always come before you on the priority list. At least you caught it early.
3 The Focal Point of the Room Shows Where Your Priorities Lay
Someone who's room's focal point is a tasteful coffee table (complete with tasteful coffee table book) has different priorities than someone who's room's focal point is a wooden train set. My friend once dated someone who's living room was overtaken by a miniature town he crafted on his own (including miniature post office and airport). That was the first and last date. True story.
If the room is primarily being used for entertaining, make sure to have ample seating and table space (for drinks and food). If the space is more for relaxing and maybe reading a book, the focal point might be a fireplace or beautiful chair. No matter what the room's use is, be sure to decorate to properly reflect this. If you didn't want glass rings on your tiny town set maybe you should have a table, Mark (actual name).
2 Accessories Go a Long Way
Just like properly chosen jewelry can make an outfit, décor accessories can make a room. What you choose to fill your room with often reflect your interests and what's important to you. Contrastingly, however, just like those clear plastic bra straps worn with a tube top, accessories can also ruin a space.
If family and friends are especially important to you, you may want to reflect this with beautiful picture frames or printed canvas art of them on your walls. If you're passionate about something like travel, you may want to have souvenirs from your trips to remind you of your adventures (think more African drum and less Vegas shot glasses, though). A well-placed Indian tapestry, while busy looking in a cluttered room, can add just the right amount of color and texture to a more basic and plain room.
Besides the big pieces like furniture, electronics and flooring, accessories should serve as a finishing touch to your space rather than a canvas you kind of just throw paint on. While less is not always more, sometimes, it really is. Too many little knick-knacks can create clutter and can make the room more stuffy than it really is.
6. Your Rugs Are Connected to Your Life
Again, this seems excessive. But having a shaggy, worn, old rug may be an indicator of other things that are shaggy, worn and old (insert sexual joke here). While you may not think that the flooring and what you put on the floor is as important as what you put on your walls, that couldn't be less true.
Walking into a room where the carpet or rugs are riddled with stains tells you several things. Firstly, the owner of this room doesn't really care how dirty you think they are. Being loud and proud is a good rule of thumb, but not when it comes to filthiness. Secondly, having a clean home (and replacing said rug) is pretty low on their priority list. And thirdly, they're inability to keep their carpets clean may be a warning that they can't keep other things clean (again, insert sexual joke here).
If your rugs or carpets are old or you find it impossible to keep them free of spills and stains, stick to wood or ceramic floors. But whatever you do, DO NOT buy a rug to cover another rug. Don't.
1 Comfort is Everything
Regardless of what your personality or style is, comfort goes a long way. A room designed to be properly lived in means you value your (and others') comfort. Cleanliness, lighting, space to move around and overall appeal show that you're put together. And even if you're really a hot mess, being able to keep a living space proper shows respect for yourself and for others.
No matter who you are, if you wear smelly, awful, gross shoes, people are going to think you're smelly, awful and gross. Fair or not, the same goes with your home and living room. You absolutely will be judged.
Décor Doesn't Have to be Stuffy to be Chic
Yes, you should always decorate for yourself and for your own tastes. But it's important to be aware that your living room décor reflects who you are and tells people a story before even needing to speak to you. So before you buy that fridge-sofa, ask yourself "Do I really need beers in my armrest?" If the answer is yes, go wild. Buy TWO fridge sofas!
But if not, pick something a little less frat student and a little more balanced adult. Sure, you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but let's be honest, how often is the cover reflective of the books content? Pretty often. So unless you want to completely throw people off for fun with something like a room full of Queen Elizabeth paraphernalia, decorate your room as a reflection of yourself. What does your living room says about you?

Aqua Shard London
Last updated on November 15th, 2015 at 12:08 pm
The beginning of July marks the opening of the newest restaurant from the Aqua Restaurant Group. Aqua Shard sees the latest dining experience being unveiled on the 31st floor of Britain's tallest building promising to offer prospective diners a phenomenal view to go with their fine food.
The interior features simple contemporary design with a muted taupe and brown colour-scheme in one area, and area having oval dining booths with peacock feather fabric accented with dark woods, and plum upholstery, with flashes of bolder reds at the bar.
The menu is inspired by traditional British cuisine, and the restaurant will initially be open for breakfast and dinner with plans for a quintessentially British afternoon tea option in due course too.
There is also an Aqua Shard bar, where patrons can have a cocktail enjoying panoramic views of the metropolis stretching as far as the eye can see, through the 3 storey high windows. With this in mind the bar would make the perfect ice breaker on a first date, or somewhere impressive to take your mum for cream tea.

text: When coming into the Harry Watkins project I wasn't sure what to expect nor what I was going to take from it. I was learning about history and theatre through Watkins and thought he was comical as well as knowledgable. I only expected Watkins to talk about theatre in his journal entries but he also talked about historical events such as slavery and the unfair treatment. Watkins gave me a deeper insight on his current events that are now our history which helped me in a history class that I was taking when I first came into this project.

Racing greyhounds, who become too old or slow to race, or who have sustained an injury, are seriously at risk of being destroyed. Thousands of greyhounds 'disappear' every year, presumed dead.
We help as many dogs as we can by taking each dog into a foster home where they have time to rehabilitate and to recover, receive any necessary veterinary treatment and are cared for and loved, often for the first time in their lives.
Our dogs are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to their forever homes being found. We also work alongside other reputable rescues to re-home dogs.

Customer Reviews
Kristian 10/15/19Did not fit the same as another pair I have
Have another pair of high rise Bridgette skinny jeans in the same size. Unfortunately, these were bigger and did not fit me as well. Had to return.
Kayla 10/14/19Same jeans have different qualities
The jeans were the same bridgette high-rise skinny jeans I bought in store about a year ago. Apparently the same jeans have different qualities and I didn't know that. These jeans have polyester in them and a lower cotton content then the ones I bought in store. My bridgette high rise skinny from the store ate 92% cotton and no polyester. I just don't care for the lower quality. The price should have been a sign considering they were $70 cheaper than the ones I bought in store. I was just unaware the qualities varied. These jeans just weren't for me, I prefer the higher cotton percentage and no polyester.
Deanna 10/10/19Fit different than other wash
I have these exact jeans in a different wash so I ordered this pair in my same size 28. Unfortunately they did not fit due to the fabric not being the same. Couldn't even get them up! Still quality looking jeans but I wish they fit the same as my other pair.

Vigilance, or sustained attention, typically requires observers to monitor many signals for infrequent critical signals over extended periods of time (Warm, 2003). Infrequent signals, otherwise known as critical signals, are presented differently in some manner and less frequently than the more common and frequent neutral signals. Critical signals typically indicate impending danger that requires immediate action to be made by an observer. Past research posits that sustained attention during a vigilance task declines for some time and is most likely caused by mindlessness, or a withdrawal of attention from the monitoring task (Robertson et al., 1997). The present research investigated the ability of participants to detect changes in visual stimuli and the confidence in their ability to accurately identify critical signals. Participants were presented with sets of stimuli containing four arrows in a circle facing the same clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Participants responded to the critical signal in the set, which was when one arrow faced the direction opposite to the other three. Participants were queried about their confidence in the accuracy of their detections after all critical and an equal number of neutral signals. Our expectation is consistent with the typical decline in attention over time; that is, confidence will also diminish as the vigilance task continues. The results of the present study can be applied to any situation requiring sustained monitoring of informational displays. For example, pilots and technicians are required to monitor streams of visual and auditory stimuli for prolonged periods of time where the consequence of not detecting a critical signal could be catastrophic. Understanding more about vigilance processes can help avoid disaster.

Christian Faith and Social Action: A Symposium
Christian Faith and Social Action: A Symposium
What is the relation of Christianity to society, of Christian faith to the complex problems of social policy? On this question there has been a growing interest in recent years. However, it will also not be far wrong to say that confusion has kept pace with interest. The writers of this volume disclaim any panacea for these vexing problems; indeed, it is an important aspect of the viewpoint which draws us together to assert that there are no such panaceas. But perhaps we may be permitted to express the hope that the essays we have written will make a modest contribution to the clarification of some of the urgent and complicated problems in this field.
This book of essays was first suggested at a meeting of the Frontier Fellowship in the spring of 1950. As the project went ahead, it was suggested that the essays be dedicated to Reinhold Niebuhr. Not only were many of us his students, and all of us his friends and associates, but at almost every step of writing we found ourselves face to face with his work, extensive and penetrating, in the field. Our thinking was inescapably oriented to him; why should not our book be dedicated to him? Unanimously we decided it should be. His own essay was written without the knowledge that the book was to be dedicated to him.
As it was written, each of the essays was circulated among other contributors for criticism and suggestions. The process has been stimulating to us; we can only hope that it has clarified our writing. The work of the editor has been greatly facilitated by financial assistance from the Class of 1900 Fund of Williams College, for which hearty thanks are tendered.

Week 7, February 1-7February 7th, 2011 Theme: Belarus
State TV channel ANT broadcasts a discrediting report of the events on December 19, 2010.
February 1, 2011
The KGB is carrying out searches at the home of democratic activists and journalists, among them are Zmicier Drozd, member of the campaign team of the candidate Andrej Sannikau. KGB comes to his flat at 7.00 am, searches the flat and then takes him in for questioning. The flats of several activists from the student organisation StudRada, Michas Matusievic, Michas Mackievic, Liza Jafimava and Ales Krat, are searched by KGB. All their computers are confiscated and other material. KGB is searching the flat of the democratic activist Antos Kojpis twice, in the morning and later in the afternoon, without presenting the official reason for the house searches. Zmiecier Salaujou, activist from the Belarusian Popular Front Party is questioned by KGB. The reason for this is a poem by a Belarusian national writer which KGB interprets as an appeal to people for riots. The flat of the parents of Siarhiej Kazakou, activist from the organisation European Belarus, who is in custody, is searched by KGB. The officers are trying to discredit their son by talking about him as a criminal who participated in riots. In the case of Hanna Saruba, activist of the organisation of Malady Front (Young Front), KGB is searching her flat and confiscates her sister's computer. Kryscina Sacikava, democratic activist from the town of Mahilou, is questioned by KGB and at the same time, the Central Court informes her that she has to pay a fine for participating in the demonstration after the election (where she was seriously injured). Sviatlana Kalinkina, chief-editor of the newspaper Narodnaja Vola is questioned by KGB. The KGB forces Barys Harecki, correspondent of Radyjo Racyja, to give out information about his friends who participated in the demonstration in December. KGB searches his flat several times. Homes of numerous member of the Liberal Club are also searched by the KGB.
Kastus Zukouski, activist from Belarusian Christian Democracy, is standing before the Central Court in the town of Homiel for spreading electoral materials in places prohibited by authorities. Zukouski handed out stickers with information about broadcasting on TV of a speech of the oppositional candidate Vital Rymaseuski. According to the electoral law in Belarus stickers cannot be used as electoral material. KGB officers explained that they followed Kastus Zukouski on December 1, and watched him as he was handing out information during the election campaign – which is one more law violation since in accordance with the Belarusian Constitution authorities are prohibited to follow political activists.
KGB is warning Uladzimir and Lucyna Chalip, the parents of journalist Iryna Chalip, not to talk to journalists otherwise it may harm their daughter.
State TV channel ANT broadcasts a discrediting report of the events on December 19. According to Belarusian State Television, at least 100 Policemen and about ten ordinary citizens were injured by protestors. Alaksandr Barsukou, representative from the Department of Interior Affairs of Minsk City, says that everyone who had been arrested during the peaceful demonstration is guilty for participating in an illegal event and that every law-abiding citizen would do his or her utmost in order leave the place close to the demonstration.
February 2
KGB is continuing to carry out questioning and searches of homes of democratic activists, among them are Tamara Zajcava in the town of Kalinkavicy; Siarhiej Housa, human rights defender in the town of Baranavicy as well as Viktar Ciapin and Mikalaj Carnavus, oppositional activists who observed the presidential elections; Uladzimir Lazouski, activist of the Independent Trade Union; Siarhiej Klujeu and Ihar Simbirou, activists of UCP Party; Alaksiej Haurucikau, activist from the Social-Democratic Party National Assembly.
Hrodna State University expels student Barys Zacharuk, democratic activist from the same town.

February 4
The authorities abolish the accusation of organizing riots for two arrested citizens of the Russian Federation. Now they are accused only of participation in riots on December 19.
Iryna Lohvinava and Lubou Kamienieva, members of Belarusian Christian Democracy and previously campaign coordinators for the oppositional candidate Vital Rymaseuski, are questioned by KGB.
Mikola Rozumau, democratic activist from the town of Orša, is after a couple of months released from probation which included forced labour (despite the fact that he is an invalid and has serious health problems).
He was arrested on November 9, 2010 in his flat. According to the Police, he was punished to forced labor in accordance to the 2006 sentencing of three years of probation At that time the authorities did not arrest Mikola Rozumau, nor transmit him to a camp of forced labour. Though, about a month before the presidential elections in 2010, the authorities "remembered" him and carried out the sentence for offending the president, claiming that he said that president Lukasenka has something to do with the disappearance of four politicians. Before trial he was sent to a mental hospital for "medical examination".
Tamara Harajeva, journalist Iryna Chalip's lawyer, refuses to defend her client (under house arrest) despite that a contract was signed.
February 6, 2011
A member of the City Council in the town of Asipovicy, and from the Belarusian Christian Democracy, is questioned by the KGB.
February 7, 2011
KGB is continuing to questioning activists, among them are: Leanid Autuchou, activist from the BPF Party. He observed the elections in the town of Haradok. On the polling day he tried to go to Minsk in order to visit some polling station there, but was followed by unknown individuals until late evening; Lubou Kamienina, activist from the Belarusian Christian Democracy; Police is continuing to harass democratic activist from the town of Hlybokaje, Kastus Sytal, who also observed the elections. Police contact him almost every day and visit his parents; Paviel Varasylau, activist of the organisation Our House; The flat of Uladzimir Siakierka, activist from the party of Fair World (previously Belarusian Communist Party), is searched by the KGB.
The jail administration in the town of Žodzina is refusing Zmicier Daskievic, arrested politician from Malady Front (Young Front), medical help. According to his aunt, he has got serious health problems with this back.
Artur Ramancuk, nephew to oppositional ex-candidate Jaraslau Ramancuk, receives an official letter from the authorities that according to regulations, he is supposed to be back in jail for nine more day; Previous time on December 20, when he was accused of participating in an illegal demonstration and the court sentenced him to 12 days imprisonment, he was released after three days. According to officials the reason for this was the fact that Artur Ramancuk is studying abroad.

When comparing DPKG (Debian Package Manager) vs Flatpak, the Slant community recommends DPKG (Debian Package Manager) for most people. In the question"What are the best Linux package managers?" DPKG (Debian Package Manager) is ranked 3rd while Flatpak is ranked 10th. The most important reason people chose DPKG (Debian Package Manager) is:
One of the biggest pluses of APT is the vast majority of software applications available for it. It's often referred as the 'de facto package manager' because most websites that offer software automatically package them in Deb format.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro De facto package manager
One of the biggest pluses of APT is the vast majority of software applications available for it. It's often referred as the 'de facto package manager' because most websites that offer software automatically package them in Deb format.
Pro Supports searching for packages
If you are not sure about the name of the package you are looking to install, you can easily search for it using the search function provided by the apt tools:
apt-cache search $search_term
Pro Synaptic finds all dependencies reliably
Its search is as simple or as detailed as you like, adding "Fixing" "Broken" "Upgradeable" the list goes on. Also manages PPA's on other software sources smartly.
Pro Tab-completion of package names
By pressing <Tab> when writing a package name, for example
sudo apt-get install ge<Tab> it will be autocompleted by apt:
sudo apt-get install gedit.
Though it's worth noting that to activate this feature in Ubuntu you need to edit the
/etc/bash.bashrc file and remove the comments from these lines:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
#if ! shopt -oq posix; then
# if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
# . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
# elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
# . /etc/bash_completion
# fi
Pro Apt is intuitive and easy to use
APT uses a simple syntax to search, install and remove packages.
Pro Excellent GUI in Synaptic Package Manager
The graphical embodiment of apt in synaptic package manager is excellent.
Pro Great multiarch support
DKPG has one of the best multiarch support you can easily add new architectures with dpkg --add-architecture $ARCH to install foreign architectures.
Pro Follows the UNIX philosophy
DPKG and it frontends follow strictly the UNIX philosophy that one package should do one thing well.
Dpkg: does simple package management
APT and aptitude : adds repository and dependency tracking
debconf: does configuration
synaptic: allows mouse interaction to all apt/aptitude options
Pro install -f
The most package issues can be easily resolved with aptitude install -f
Pro Fast
DPKG isn't as bloated as other package managers since it is only made for local package management.
Pro Cross-distribution
You can install flatpak packages on any distro you want.
Pro Application sandboxing
All applications are limited to a set of predefined permissions, enhancing privacy and security.
Pro A well-written documentation
Pro Flexible runtime management
You can install a lot of runtimes for different apps, making applications a lot more compatible while still allowing some applications to share their runtimes.
Con Suboptimal dependency resolution
Apt has only a rather simple heuristic based resolver that can result in users getting package blockages when putting individual packages on hold.
Con Slow
Compared to many package managers, Apt is a very slow experience. From fetching packages, to caching them, to actually installing them, (and all the steps between).
Con Very complicated and redundant packaging process
Filling out all requirements for .deb creation is such a pain that a lot of developers resort to packaging .deb files manually, because official packaging tools are too strict.
Con Counterintuitive CLI
For installing and removing you have "apt-get", for searching "apt-cache", for listing "dpkg". "dpkg" uses only switches whereas "apt-*" also commands, ... At least there is this "aptitude" frontend, but that's not a standard tool.
Con Heavy for single-package repositories first install
Trusted source repositories are great (designed) for distributing large batches of interconnected software and updates. But, Trusted repositories are often used as the preferred way to distribute single 3rd party packages (and future updates), with the mandatory step of updating the entire software cache/dep-tree. These updates may be lengthy and therefore annoying for single package installation use. Notably, this annoyance can be avoided by the developer; One such example is the google-chrome deb package which updates you're trusted repertories as a post install step, though this is less transparent which can be it's own annoyance.
Con Highly unreliable
"You may have held broken packages"...
Con Lack of sanity checks.
One thing that apt appears to lack is transaction tests and post-install verification. Coupled with the aforementioned poor dependency resolver, this can lead to deep headaches.
Due to the way Flatpack handles packaging, this can lead to a large cache being created which quickly inflates to unreasonable sizes. Not only this, but using flatpack requires a large chunk of space to be reserved for it's own file hierarchy.

The Excelsior Acquisition - S3-E16
Plot hole: In Series 1, Episode 7, "The Dumpling Paradox, " Sheldon makes an oblique reference to his financial status: "Frankly, if I could afford the rent, I'd ask you [Leonard] to leave, " meaning he cannot pay the rent on his two bedroom apartment by himself - not that he doesn't want to, he can't. However, in "The Execlsior Acquisition, " we find that he does not even cash his pay cheques. He doesn't even deposit them into a bank account - he leaves them in a drawer in his desk. In Series 2 Episode 14 "The Financial Permeability", he lends Penny a large amount of money from a huge bankroll he just happens to have lying about - again, without cashing his pay cheques! He is obviously independently wealthy. Either he doesn't have enough money to afford the rent or he has enough to work without being paid while practically giving large amounts of cash away. Can't be both.

The roots are long enough.
As far as how to take it off, it's hard to tell. If you can pick it off and keep the roots attached, do it that way. It looks, however, that the roots won't come off with the keiki, especially the three going upwards. In that case, you'll have to cut the keiki off with part of the pseudobulb. If you cut right at the yellow ring that should work. Since this growth isn't going to bloom, you may as well operate and surgically remove it.
I don't think you'll have any problems, but keep your eye on the cut. I guess you could put some cinnamon on the cut, but I've never had to do that. It heals itself.

All is lost it seems. Its so hot during the day the heat is making the gs difficult to desl with.
Evdry long ride I get is pretty bad.
Im isolated. The gs is more than ive ever seen in my life. Its like they are keepijg me surrounded this time. I rarely interact with normal people.
Im self talking at a disturbingly high rate lately which of course only helps them accomplish their goals. It seems to be a reaction to the extreme stress ans isolation.
My homebase has been ruined for me and California is now uninhabitable (second home) due to Fukushima.
Why has this excelerated over past two years. Ceetainly since rhe change in Cambridge and Boston administrations.
I only feel normal or the environment is normal again late at nite like 2am.
I am so hated and treated wirh mistrust everywhere I go.
I should have planned better for my allies and family members dying making it so i have less protection.
They are also pissed becuz i have wised up And shed all handlers or people working for gs system.
I noticed a frightenng trend back home in Cambridge- that anyone knows too much or was closely tied into black gangs or anyone pedophile or hangs witj people like thst long time in Harvard Square scene is ending up dead-
-Hang oneself in jail.
-Bodies found in Charles River etc.
What the hell is going on?
(Unless u work for them it seems).
Also over a few years time people have been dying or going insane from Harvard Sq scene, anyone who doesn't work for gs system or anyone who cant be of use to them dealing drugs etc.
Its being made very hard for me to go back to get my things. Im going to MA for a few hours to one day then leaving forever. Why is that so difficult?
MA has always wanted me gone and now they get thier wish but im not leaving my stuff there. Wtf?

The Firm has pioneered the Social License Practice, the first and only one of its kind in the country, as part of its paradigm shift in the law practice and a total solutions approach to its clients' various problems. It primarily responds to the investors' critical need to gain social acceptability and broad approval from host communities to facilitate the long-term sustainability of their operations in resource extractive industries. A team of lawyers trained to apply a holistic, well-integrated and multi-disciplinary approach immerses for long periods of time with stakeholders to create a relationship of mutual trust. It builds a network of local champions with a sense of co-ownership to protect an investment and minimize, if not avoid socio-economic, political, cultural and security risks to the projects.
To this end, the Firm has facilitated the compliance with the free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) from various indigenous peoples (IPs) throughout the country, including helping IPs obtain their Certificate of Ancestral Domains Title (CADT) and Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) in order to strengthen the long-term partnership between the investors and the affected communities in mining, energy and infrastructure projects.
The Firm has also utilized the Social License in effectively handling crisis management for its clients. In 2005, a flagship green-field mining project was fined, suspended and issued a cease-desist order by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR"). The Firm represented the client in investigations conducted by Congress and the Presidential Fact-Finding Commission and by acting as spokesman before local and foreign media. The Firm successfully reversed the public opposition to the project and restored its social license by obtaining favorable endorsements from the concerned congressional representatives, the executive and legislative councils of various local government units affected, the business and religious sectors, non-governmental organizations and other sectors of society to allow the project's full and permanent resumption of operations.
The Firm is currently exploring arrangements with social impact investors to help bridge-finance its representation of affected indigenous cultural communities so they have access to legal expertise in their negotiation and execution of mutually beneficial commercial agreements with investors in resource extractive projects.
Mr. Julito R. Sarmiento, who has extensive academic training and involvement in international human rights law advocacy particularly in the areas of economic, social and cultural rights, longstanding relationships with various non-governmental organizations and has in-depth experience in community-organizing, leads the Firm's Social License Practice.

Biopsy is the name given to the procedure of collecting and sending material for an anatomopathological examination, in order to clarify or confirm a diagnosis.
In urology, the biopsies that are more frequently performed are of bladder and prostate. For those procedures, the patient is always sedated by an anesthesiologist, in order to avoid any discomfort or pain.
A cystoscopy (information about this exam can be found here) is necessary for bladder biopsy and a transrectal ultrasonography of the prostate is necessary for prostate biopsy, which will guide the extraction of several fragments of different locations of the prostate, by using an extremely thin needle.
The procedures do not require hospitalization, and after a period for recovery and normal urination, the patient is released.

Lemurs coming to Jamaa would be awesome. :DReplyDelete
There are problems with bears and squirrels.... bears might be used for fights or violence, while squirrels will be hunt down as prey by AJ roleplayers. But, just thinking about a squirrel coming to AJ would be cute! And maybe a bear cub, too! ^_^
My favorite clothing items are rare bow and arrows, mech helmets, and fox hats! XD
I think my very favorite clothing item on Animal Jam would have to be the head flower, because I think it's cute, pretty, and goes well with everything.ReplyDelete

-Meowcats1228 (I lefted his blog.....)Replies
I don't really think that's copying.
Tons of blogs have an Animal page .. Each animal page is unique with different information.
Yay I love the vine items! Very jamaasian!ReplyDelete
Animal Jam HQ is really becoming Jamaasian! You are so right, Cloudclaws ;-D! Keep it up, Animal Jam HQ! :-DReplyDelete
Umm, Cloudclaws... I think Juniper is going crazy. Because he saw a den full of Vine Lamps, and then he started biting them o.0!
Ahh, yes! A bed, perhaps. We only have couches >.:3.
Anyway, it seems that lemurs like insects - and are HERBIVORES. I never heard of a "veggie-eater", anyway! Braddy's right, actually - nice question :p.
By the way, I sent an email to Animal Jam HQ to ask them if seagulls and lemurs can come to Jamaa, gem-bought and is for all Jammers :-D! They replied to me, saying they love hearing from Jammers - especially if they have an idea to add special touchings to Jamaa. They said that they are happy that we will improve Jamaa in the future :-D!
Hmm, what animal I want to see...? I would like to see, NOT creepy spiders, and "Maya Birds" :-).
And what's my favorite clothing? Hmm...? The Moon Hat. It looks perfect on bunnies :-D!

Pondering a Word: What's in a Meme?
October 18, 2012 Leave a comment
As biological creatures, it shouldn't be too surprising that it isn't just our bodies that exhibit biological qualities. The ways in which we think and interact—our intellectual, social, and cultural selves—also function in inherently biological ways.
I'm thinking about this concept because of a word that I've come across in numerous places, and have always swallowed as part of the sentence or paragraph in which it was situated. Until now, I've never really thought to pick it up individually and turn it over in my hands. That word is "meme." As Shakespeare might have said, "What's in a meme?"
Here's how dictionary.com defines the word:
meme [meem]
Noun. A cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes.
Now, the interesting part for me is the "analogous to biological transmission" part. Essentially, the concept is that ideas can move from person to person in ways that approximates the flow of DNA. I say "DNA" (as opposed to genes) because it broadens the concept considerably.
I don't want to dive too deeply into a purely biological discussion, but in a nutshell, genes are responsible for transmitting inherited traits to individual organisms. Although it is possible for harmful mutations in genetic material to occur during replication, for the most part, the transmission of genes is a "good" thing. (By good, I mean that without this transmission, humans and all other living things would cease to exist.)
On the other hand, the transmission of DNA is not always so "good." I'm thinking of viruses here, that are basically a bundle of DNA (or RNA) encapsulated in a protein coat (and sometimes surrounded by a lipid coat as well). There are lots of ways that viruses spread their genetic material, but they all involve inserting themselves into a host cell. They rely upon the cellular functions of the host to replicate. In this way, they function like the cellular equivalent of a parasite that you might find in your gut.
This viral or parasitic aspect of gene transfer was what got Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist and philosopher, thinking. It was Dawkins who coined the term "meme" to describe the tendency of human beings, when exposed to new ideas or ways of being, to imitate. However, that imitation often happens in an imperfect manner, or becomes infused with other elements of "newness."
Another interesting biological tidbit (and one for which I am having trouble finding a source to cite here—sorry!) is that when a population doubles within a certain area, the incidence of disease is squared. Disease is at least partly explained by viral (genetic) flows between individuals, so linear increases in population will result in exponential increases in genetic (or memetic) flow.
The Internet makes all of this flow of genes and memes very strange indeed. Suddenly, the concept of increasing a population within a certain area becomes irrelevant. If we take the Internet as an infinitely elastic room into which we can all fit, it's suddenly easy to understand how little things—say, wearing a certain brand of baseball cap, or a Justin Bieber video—can spread so quickly. We're basically coughing all over each other every time we go online.
But before I make it sound as if the transmission of ideas is an inherently bad thing, I want to get back to the way in which genes are transmitted. Some organisms reproduce asexually—they basically clone themselves and produce a bunch of Mini-Me's. You could view this as passing on an idea without allowing for any modification or adaptation. We have another name for that—brainwashing.
Other organisms, humans included, rely on a mix-and-match approach, blending the genes of the parents in a sort of genetic raffle. This gives new swimmers a chance to dive into the pool, and prevents genetic bottlenecks. I'm sure there must be a few examples of cultural bottlenecks out there over the vastness of human history, but our fascinating tendency (you might even say our defining tendency) is to burst out of confinement (whether that relates to genes or thought), and to bring new things together.
Interestingly, viruses may have a positive role in the transfer of all of this genetic material. Because of their intrinsically genetic nature (remember that they're really just a strand of DNA or RNA), they function as a major vehicle of horizontal gene transfer. They move in, insert something new, and change the future.
Sometimes, that change results in the death of the host. (I feel that way when I get sent a link to a Bieber video.) Other times, that change results in the crossover of something from one host (say, a pig, or a TED Talk) to a new host (say, a Siamese fighting fish, or a rockin' YA novel concept ). New things are born, and the gene pool benefits.
There is more to say, but rather than go too deeply into detail, I'll just leave the ideas with you to ponder. Consider the way in which our immune systems function as a form of defence again foreign organisms that invade our bodies. What is the memetic analogue—the cultural or thought immune response? And if there is such a thing, is it possible to seek out a cultural or thought vaccine? Or are we simply forced to resort to quarantine?

WCF Training in the UK
My friend John Martin asked me whether I could post this on my blog — I was a bit hesitant, but then I thought it will be interesting to a lot of people, and hopefully a few from the UK are reading my blog!
John says he's been asked a number of times to offer a WCF class in the UK, and now he can finally announce one: The WCF Master Class with Michele Leroux Bustamante, May 10-14 2010 at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, UK.
For all the details on this class, click here to go to John's own site. And if you happen to be at the VS Launch/DevConnections in Las Vegas in a few days' time, you can meet John there at booth 512.
Okay, enough of the plug! I'm sure the training is going to be good fun, and the castle location sounds very interesting. And of course you could be doing worse than Michele if you need to learn some WCF! 🙂

Gotta love when one search leads to an ever better find somewhere else. A further investigation into new fave HAIM and their single "If I Could Change Your Mind"…
QsNewz is your headquarters for all things Q. It's your online destination to find out when is his next class, what are his thoughts on new music/fashion, where can you find his warm-up music, and how much time can you spend watching his videos. It is all that and plenty more, so pour yourself an icy beverage, kick back, click away and get you some newz... QsNewz!

[[Page 1495]] <DOC> [Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents] [frwais.access.gpo.gov] [Page 1495-1496] Monday, September 2, 1996 Volume 32--Number 35 Pages 1495-1588 Week Ending Friday, August 30, 1996 Memorandum on Naturalization August 22, 1996 Memorandum for the Attorney General, Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Other Heads of Executive Agencies Subject: Naturalization Citizenship is the cornerstone of full participation in our democracy. To become a United States citizen through naturalization represents a pledge to undertake the responsibilities of being a full member of our national community. Naturalization is the best example of our legal immigration system at work. It reflects our society's recognition of those who came to this country to work hard, play by the rules, and pursue shared ideals of freedom, opportunity, and responsibility. In the past, hundreds of thousands of eligible people have had to wait unnecessarily to become citizens. In some parts of the country, these people have had to wait well over a year after filing their application to realize their dream of United States citizenship. This Administration is committed to eliminating the waiting lists of those eligible for citizenship. To accomplish this, we launched ``Citizenship U.S.A.,'' the most ambitious citizenship effort in history. In fiscal year 1996, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) will spend more than $165 million for naturalization. Citizenship U.S.A. combines three broad strategies: hiring more people to handle applications, improving the naturalization process, and expanding partnerships with local officials and community organizations. We are already making progress. We have increased the staff 235 percent in the five districts with 75 percent of the pending applications: Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, and Chicago. In Los Angeles, where one-fourth of all new applications are filed, we have opened three new processing centers and have more than quadrupled the number of INS officers handling citizenship applications. But this is just the beginning. This Administration's target is to process and swear-in within 6 months of application all individuals eligible for citizenship. As we meet this target, more than one million newcomers will become citizens by the end of this year. After that, INS shall maintain those reforms necessary to stay current with the demand of new citizen applicants. Using all of the tools at your disposal, I ask you to ensure that policies and practices necessary to accomplish these targets of one million new citizens sworn-in and the elimination of the waiting list are implemented. This includes continuing, expanding or accelerating, as appropriate and practicable, the following: 1) New Hires. Hiring, training, and deployment of full staff to assist naturalization efforts should proceed to completion as quickly as possible. 2) Cutting Red Tape. This includes: establishing electronic filing and mailing-in of citizenship applications, extended weekday hours and Saturday interviews, further expansion of processing facilities, and improvements to make it easier for people to obtain forms and get immigration information by telephone or computer. 3) Working with Local Officials and Community-Based Groups. We are working in partnership with local officials and community groups to expand outreach. I direct you to expand these efforts to help get naturalization information to people, assist them in filling out applications, offer more local sites for interviews, especially for the elderly and the homebound, and seek other means to jointly facilitate the process. We also will work to expand the availability of local hotlines providing naturalization information. 4) English Training. To assist legal immigrants to move toward citizenship, I request relevant agencies to work with the Domestic [[Page 1496]] Policy Council, the National Economic Council, and other White House offices to present to me by December 30, 1996, a report making recommendations with respect to public/private efforts to teach English to those needing to improve their English-language skills. This report should consider possible roles by private companies, educational institutions, unions, community organizations, and the AmeriCorp program to accomplish this goal. 5) Interagency Outreach. I direct each executive department and agency to take steps to promote naturalization outreach consistent with your agency's mission. In particular, in materials sent to welfare recipients concerning eligibility, I direct that, to the extent authorized by law, you include naturalization information. 6) Refugees and Asylees. Those who flee persecution and suffering in their home country are often in the weakest position to acquire the skills they need to enter the job market, maintain self-sufficiency, and achieve U.S. citizenship. I direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in conjunction with other agencies as appropriate, to present to me by December 30, 1996, through the Domestic Policy Council, a report setting out a strategy of additional steps that we can take to promote social adjustment in the United States, economic self- sufficiency, and naturalization. In taking these steps, this Administration shall maintain and strengthen the standards and requirements of the naturalization test that demonstrate an individual's readiness to accept the responsibilities of citizenship and full participation in our national community. You are directed to continue vigilant oversight to uphold these standards. Hundreds of thousands of people are seeking the dream and the promise of American citizenship. They have worked to become United States citizens, and these steps should ensure that they are not made to wait unnecessarily. William J. Clinton Note: This memorandum was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on August 23, and it was not received in time for publication in the appropriate issue. <DOC> [Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents] [frwais.access.gpo.gov] [Page 1496] Monday, September 2, 1996 Volume 32--Number 35 Pages 1495-1588 Week Ending Friday, August 30, 1996 Memorandum on the Eligibility of Aliens for Food Stamps August 22, 1996 Memorandum for the Secretary of Agriculture Subject: Eligibility of Aliens for Food Stamps Under the provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, which today I signed into law, aliens receiving food stamps as of the date of enactment will continue to receive benefits until recertification of their eligibility, which shall take place not more than 1 year after enactment of the law. The results of the certification, including decisions as to an individual's immigration classification, veteran status, or work history, will determine whether the individual remains eligible for benefits under the Food Stamp program. Implementation of these new procedures will pose a substantial challenge for all involved Federal and State agencies. To ensure that eligibility determinations are made fairly, accurately, and effectively, I direct you to take the steps necessary under your authority to permit the State agencies to extend the certification periods of currently participating aliens, provided that no certification period is extended to longer than 12 months, or up to 24 months if all adult household members are elderly or disabled, and provided that in no event shall certifications be extended beyond August 22, 1997. I further direct you to notify the States of the actions you have taken. William J. Clinton Note: This memorandum was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on August 23, and it was not received in time for publication in the

Why take the online Couple Checkup profile?
· It is designed on a strengths model and helps you identify your couple strengths and build on them. Strength builds more strength.
· A 16-20 page computerized report identifying your couple strengths is immediately emailed to you after both partners complete the inventory.
· The assessment consists of 20-25 relational content areas that have been found to be significant for couples, is founded on 25 years of research, and is based on the PREPARE/ENRICH inventory that has been taken by over 2 million couples worldwide.
· It is intended for dating, engaged, married, or remarried couples. Based on background questions you answer about your relationship, the computer selects the relevant scales and questions for your couple type.
· It can evaluate up to 25 important areas in your relationship.
· Taking the inventory stimulates couple dialogue that is itself enriching.
· It helps you know your partner better. When couples try to predict their spouse's responses they are wrong 75% of the time. This process helps you really understand one another.
· Early detection. Many couples discover small issues in their relationship they were unaware of. The small "cancer" can then be addressed and prevented from growing.
· It is Personal (you don't need to talk to a therapist or educator)... Private (take it in the privacy of your home or office)… Anonymous (no one knows your results except you)… and Practical (offers practical guidance for strengthening your relationship).
