Tight Fit Keeps Odors, Germs Inside, Supports Infection Control Measures
Tilt trucks in the Poly-Trux line from Meese Orbitron Dunne Co. feature a durable lid (optional) to keep soiled laundry and refuse from spilling over the sides during transport. Ideal for laundry, waste and recycling collection in facilities where cleanliness and infection control are paramount, the covered tilt trucks create a tight fit around the perimeter when closed to help prevent germs and odors from escaping into the environment while also reducing the potential for human contact with other hazards.
The covered Poly-Trux tilt trucks discourage staffers from heaping bagged laundry, waste or other cargo beyond the height of the rim to reduce the movement of unsightly, overflowing loads through high traffic areas. By enclosing and hiding the cargo under cover, the tilt trucks also deter casual theft.
The covered tilt trucks are rotationally molded of 100% weatherproof polyethylene for long term durability and cleanability. Six different models
are available to safely accommodate loads up to 2,000 lbs. in a choice of 16 standard colors. Available options include tow hitches, bag hooks, brakes, permanent graphics and custom colors.

Sealing concrete can protect against staining and water damage.
Whether you've just built a brand-new home, updated your existing home with new concrete or just want to extend the life of your existing driveway, patio or sidewalk, it makes sense to protect your investment by protecting your concrete. You could buy a do-it-yourself solution at your local big-box store, but application is messy, and it has to be reapplied every few years, which can get expensive. Plus, it likely won't be compatible with new concrete.
Unlike concrete sealers available at big-box stores, SealantPro from Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair permanently protects concrete with just one application and extends its life by 3-5 times.
Developed by Supportworks, SealantPro is a state-of-the-art material that bonds with concrete on a molecular level, permanently protecting it from water, dirt and other contaminants in a single coat. Once applied, SealantPro dries in minutes and is fully cured in just 6 hours, so you can use your concrete the same day. It is simple, fast, economical and extremely effective.
Concrete sealant keeps water, oil, and gasoline from penetrating the slab.
Moisture seeps into the pores of untreated concrete, and when temperatures drop, especially during freeze-thaw cycles, that trapped moisture expands as it turns to ice. This expansion destroys the pores and weakens the concrete.
Without protection, your concrete will inevitably discolor, flake and crack. This not only reduces the curb appeal- and value - of your home, it can also create potentially dangerous tripping hazards. SealantPro concrete protection is a simple, highly effective solution that ensures that your home's concrete surfaces look and perform their best for years to come.
To give your concrete driveway, walkway, patio, or pool deck the "seal of protection," contact Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair today to schedule an inspection and free cost estimate. We provide all our concrete repair services in Fayetteville, Wilmington, Greenville, Jacksonville, Goldsboro, New Bern, Sanford, Wrightsville Beach, Camp Lejeune, Lumberton or the surrounding areas in North Carolina.

This article appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 3, 2017
Interesting (and startling statisitics)
35,000 disabled-placard holders were listed as deceased in the Social Security Administration?s records.
26,000 placard holders were 100 or older and California is believed to have just 8,000 centenarians in the entire state.
Some people, when a relative dies, will go to a flea market and sell the placard and get several hundred dollars for it.
The number of citations issued during the Department of Motor Vehicles June sting operations indicated that about 1 in 8 placards was being used fraudulently.
Some lawmakers are urging changes in the way disabled parking placards are issued, distributed and monitored, and a group in San Francisco has raised the idea of eliminating the free-parking part of the permit.

So in a game like, say, Uncharted, we've all lamented those nameless henchmen or mini-bosses that seem to take a ridiculous number of shots to kill. "I shot you", we'll yell. "I shot you like twelve times! In the head! Why won't you die?!"
But imagine how much worse it is on their side! They don't usually get up and respawn, unscathed and uninjured. They may come after you, wave on wave of enemies, but usually when you shoot them they stay dead. You, however, don't.
It's hard, being a henchman.

text: 10 Lessons for Developing a Farm Successor to Manage and Lead July 5, 2011 11:50 AM Involving a successor in all facets of the operation, from daily tasks to crafting a business plan, is crucial to a successful transition. © Beth Snyder by Danny Klinefelter, Texas A&M University Extension economist A CEO and successor must work together in the present to cultivate a future. Successfully transitioning management involves three critical and often simultaneous processes: successor development; the transfer of management responsibility and authority; and the exit of the current CEO. Businesses that have effectively made the transition have completed the following 10 steps: An assessment of the needs of the business for the present and the future. This includes determining the management skills and attributes necessary to keep the business thriving. An assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the current CEO. This includes an assessment of the CEO's ability to teach and mentor the successor in the areas identified in the business assessment. An objective assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the successor. Open, honest and mature two-way communication. The creation of a management development plan that addresses the successor's strengths and weaknesses; experience; respon-sibility; training; and honest/objective evaluation and feedback. Planned experience, exposure and networking opportunities for the successor, not just outside the business but also outside the industry. The development of a common vision for the business, now and in the future. An ongoing delegation of responsibility and authority, with a specific time line. Including the successor in the development of the business plan and in the strategic planning and decision-making process. Implementing a plan for what the current CEO is going to do next. Develop the skills. In addition to teaching how to manage the daily operations of the business, successful transitions require passing on the "strategic smarts" and "strategic thinking skills" to the successor. To be successful as a CEO, the successor also has to learn to become a leader, not just a manager. Leadership revolves around vision, ideas and direction and has more to do with inspiring people than with day-to-day implementation. Top managers recognize that their ability to attract and motivate people will in part determine their success. A leader is great not because of his power but because of his ability to empower others. When it comes to managing people, the top managers see themselves more as the head coach than the boss. J. Paul Getty once said, "It doesn't make much difference how smart, how much knowledge or how much experience an executive possesses; if he is unable to achieve results through people, he is worthless as an executive." Leaders must be able to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the business to assess the opportunities and threats in their environment and identify which issues are most important and deserve their closest attention. It's important to recognize that in order to stay ahead, the internal rate of change in the business needs to exceed the rate of change in the business's external environment. If it doesn't, the business will be falling behind even though it may be moving forward. Pull it all together. One of the key components of educating the successor and increasing his or her understanding of the business and how it works is developing a business plan. It's not just a tool for guiding the business; the process, discussions and information involved in preparing the plan are a critical element in the development of the successor. Every facet of the business has to be explored. A well-prepared business plan: improves internal and external communication lines. evaluates the feasibility of plans and their sensitivity to different assumptions. helps discover and anticipate problems and limitations, as well as discover and evaluate opportunities. forces management to take an integrated approach to address production, operational, financial, marketing and human resource issues. requires an assessment of capabilities and a clarification of goals and direction. makes realistic projections for the operation. increases the involvement of and interaction between the current CEO and the successor, as well as the rest of the management team. builds the commitment to something specific. The most successful businesses also recognize that the business plan isn't a once and done document. It has to be continuously monitored against actual results and regularly updated to reflect changing conditions. Learn from history. If successors are going to develop and improve their decision-making skills, they need to learn from their mistakes. An important part of that process is performing autopsies on the results of key decisions. This requires digging deep enough to determine why things turned out as they did. It involves what was overlooked, what should have been done differently, etc. Another increasingly critical part of a successor's education is the development of negotiation skills. The ability to negotiate touches almost every facet of a business, from dealing with input suppliers and lenders to landlords, customers, labor and even family members. The success of negotiations will affect prices, the acquisition of resources, relationships and terms of arrangements. It is critical to a successor's professional development that he or she be included in these negotiations even if at first it is only as an observer.

The recent benefit in honor of Michael Simpson was a huge success, according to his wife, Shirley. Thanks to all the people who patroned a fish fry at First Assembly of God and to all the donations, Simpson has been given about $10,000 toward getting a lung transplant. Doctors had told Simpson that in order to be placed on the list, he would have to prove he could pay for the costly anti-rejection medicines. "Now, we need prayer more than anything," said Shirley Simpson.

It's a date! Millionaire Dennis Tito to send couple on manned Mars mission on Jan. 5, 2018
A maverick millionaire obsessed with space travel vowed to send a manned mission to Mars, even announcing the date the rocket carrying one man and one woman would set off for the Red Planet: Jan. 5, 2018.
On that date, a preferably married couple yet to be chosen will enter a tiny space capsule for the longest date in history -- rocketing into the heavens and the record books, promised Dennis Tito, the brains behind The Inspiration Mars Foundation and the American businessman who paid about $20 million to visit the International Space Station in 2001 aboard a Russian spacecraft.
After a trip of about 140 million miles, the brave couple will be the first humans ever to peer out a window at Mars -- but not set foot there.
Their spacecraft will not stop on the surface of the planet, instead orbiting around the Red Planet at a distance of 100 miles out before using the planet's gravity to slingshot back to the Earth, he said.
"This will be a Lewis and Clark mission to Mars," explained Taber MacCallum, CEO for space development company Paragon and one of the scientists working on the Inspiration Mars program.
Why now? Why 2018?
If we don't seize the moment, we may miss the opportunity to explore Mars, the group claims. That's because the Jan. 2018 deadline is a hard one: According to a 1996 paper that inspired the private project, the planets only come together perfectly for a mission like this once every 15 years. And while the next window is just five short years away, the follow-up won't be until 2031.
"The planets realign every 15 years, and who wants to wait for 2031?" Tito said. "By that time, we might have company."
Tito himself won't be flying on this mission; rather, it will be an unnamed, middle-aged crew consisting of a man and a woman.
"I will not be one of the crew members. And if I were 30 years younger, I still would not be," Tito said. Instead mechanically trained (and likely much younger) astronauts will pilot the craft on its mission.
The trip is relatively straightforward, according to the various presenters at the event, akin to a low-earth orbit trip in complexity. But due to the distances involved, there are obvious, glaring risks to the 501-day mission.
"It's 1.4 years, no chance for abort. If something goes wrong, there's no chance of coming back … and we're going to re-enter at record speeds, 14.2 kilometers per second," explained MacCallum. The trip is conceptually feasible, he said, but the technical details to make it happen have yet to be completed. There are a wealth of spacecraft being developed at present, giving them a wealth of options, however.
He called it a demonstration that could lead to further exploration of Mars.
"We're trying to be a stepping stone toward that" he said. But "a program of record is really needed to make that happen."
How will astronauts make it to Mars?
Technology aside, will people be able to survive such a mission however, trapped in a tiny capsule and breathing the same air day in and day out, month after month, all the way to Mars and back?
Absolutely, explained Jonathan Clark , chief medical officer for Inspiration Mars -- and the medical officer for Felix Baumgartner's recent dramatic plunge from space.
"This is going to be the Apollo 8 moment for the next generation," he said. "It's about inspiring our children, particularly my son. To me this really strikes a deep personal note."
To keep the crew alive in deep space, where we have limited experience, he would rely on past experience working in micro gravity. Radiation may be an issue, he said. Clark said individual genomic analysis of the astronauts would allow them to tailor protection to the mission. And other advanced studies and research would be necessary to protect the astronauts, whom he said would be "middle-aged."
"Do we have our work cut out for us? Yes, absolutely," he said. Beyond merely sustaining the crew, the team will be challenged by the psychological stress of such a mission.
"It's a really long road trip, you're jammed into an RV that goes the equivalent of 32,000 times around the Earth…and they'll have about 3,000 pounds of dehydrated food that they'll get to rehydrate with the same water they drank two days ago," explained Jane Poynter, also of Paragon and also a member of the project.
A system that provides all of the basic needs of the crew already exists, she said, based on the system in place on the International Space Station, though it is simpler and more robust.
It's important that we have a man and woman on the mission, she said, because they reflect humanity. And having both genders reflect should serve further to inspire the next generation to look to the stars -- and open their science text books.
"Getting a tweet from a female astronaut, from Mars, and looking down at what she's seeing and describe it for us? And then turning around and looking back at Earth and describing that tiny dot that she's seeing? These two astronauts will take all of us along on the ride," Poynter said.
The cost of the mission is still not determined, Tito explained, although reports say it could cost as much as $1 billion. But it will clearly be a money-loser for the former NASA scientist, who founded the investment firm Wilshire Associates that eventually made him a millionaire.
"This is not a commercial mission," he said. "Let me guarantee, I will come out a lot poorer as a result of this mission. But my grandchildren will come out a lot wealthier because of the inspiration they will get from this mission." But the mission will be cheap, he stressed.
"This is really chump change compared to what we've heard before."
The team already has a signed space act agreement with NASA, and says they will launch the craft from Moffitt Field at NASA's Ames facility in California. The space agency on Wednesday applauded the goals of Inspiration Mars.
"This type of private sector effort is further evidence of the timeliness and wisdom of the Obama Administration's overall space policy," said NASA spokesman David Steitz, in a statement posted on SpaceRef.com.
"It's a testament to the audacity of America's commercial aerospace industry and the adventurous spirit of America's citizen-explorers."

The great debate at UWM: 'Intelligent Design vs. Darwinism: Can Science Point to God?' Tues. March 6, 2012
Find out on Tuesday evening, March 6, 2012 when the Lutheran Student Fellowship of UWM hosts a debate between 2 college professors on opposing ends of the origins spectrum: Intelligent Design vs. Darwinism.
This is truly a rare opportunity, because it is very difficult to find a professor willing to defend evolution / Darwinism in a debate format.*
But Dr. William Bristow, Professor of Philosophy at UWM, is willing. He will debate Dr. Angus Mengue, Professor of Philosophy, from Concordia University
The debate will take place at 6:30pm at UWM's Student Union (just east of Maryland Ave. on E. Kenwood Blvd.) in the Wisconsin Room -2nd floor. The event is free and will have a Q&A afterwards. Don't miss it!
This debate is sponsored by Luther Memorial Chapel & University Student Center in Shorewood.
*The Creation Science Society of Milwaukee, the group I am affiliated with, has been trying to line up a debate between one of their speakers such as Dr. Jerry Bergman and an evolutionist for months now. Like other creation groups, we have not been able to find a professor willing to do it.

Truth finally sets Texas inmate free
or a man who'd spent more than 20 years locked up in a Texas prison, the offer must have been tantalizing: Admit your guilt, express remorse, and we'll set you free.He'd grown gray since Williamson County prosecutors convinced a jury that he'd committed the monstrous murder of his wife, his college sweetheart. For two decades, he'd existed behind bars while his son, only 3 when both parents were stolen from him, became a man without him.
Michael Morton had been stripped of every single thing he held dear in this life - except the truth. Though it would cost him several more years in prison, no one, he decided, would make him tell a lie. He'd rot in prison rather than surrender that last fragile connection to his dignity.
Wednesday, finally cleared by DNA testing after 25 years in prison, Morton became a free man on his own terms: Exonerated.
And "Unbroken." That single word also happens to be the title of a book chronicling the star-crossed life of a World War II aviator shot down over the Pacific. Louie Zamperini spent 47 days in a life raft battling thirst and sharks - only to fall into the hands of Japanese, who, for the next two years, beat him, starved him and forced him into slave labor.
Like Morton, Zamperini was once offered a devil's bargain. Brought to a Japanese radio station and plied with food, he was asked to read on the air some nonsense about the United States. He refused, and the beatings and starvation continued.
But, when the war ended, Zamperini's soul was intact, his spirit unbroken.
Claims dismissed
Before his retirement last month, Rick Casey wrote about the efforts on Morton's behalf by the New York-based Innocence Project, aided pro bono by Houston attorney John Raley.
Reviewing court files, the legal team had become convinced that Morton was telling the truth when he claimed that, on the day of the murder, he left home to work his 6 a.m. shift at a grocery store while his wife, Christine, remained asleep in the couple's bed.
Casey recounted the numerous court hearings and appeals it took to obtain DNA testing of a bloody bandana found in a wooded area outside Morton's house soon after the crime.
And how Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley, Gov. Rick Perry's appointee to the Texas Forensic Science Commission, fought that testing for six years, dismissing the effort as "grasping at straws."
And how Morton's lawyers, through an open records request, discovered evidence that they believe prosecutors in 1987 withheld that might have induced a jury to believe Morton's pleas of innocence: A transcript of Morton's mother-in-law recounting how her young grandson told her he saw a "monster" beat his mother, while his daddy was gone.
And evidence that Christine's credit card, missing since her murder, was used two days later in San Antonio.
And interviews with neighbors who were concerned about a strange man in a green van who had been lurking in the neighborhood, walking in the woods behind the Morton's house where the bandana was eventually found.
The story took a tragic twist when investigators linked the DNA found on the bandana to evidence left at the scene of a similar murder in Austin in 1988. Officials say the DNA belongs to a man identified in court document only as John Doe, who has been convicted of felonies in several states. Law enforcement authorities hoped to prosecute him for both murders.
Hidden evidence key
Wednesday, after hugging his parents, Morton had only one message for reporters. "I thank God this wasn't a capital case," he said. If he had been given the death penalty, he might have been executed before his volunteer attorneys had time to acquire evidence of his innocence.
Raley told me Wednesday he was "euphoric," but the attorney's involvement in the case is far from over. Focused solely on winning Morton's freedom, Raley hasn't yet made Williamson County officials answer for not turning over evidence that might have led jurors to believe Morton's claims of innocence.
"Had this evidence not been concealed, it's unlikely this travesty of justice would ever have occurred," Raley said. Not only did an innocent man go to jail, he noted, "they let the monster go and he brutally murdered another young woman."
Justice left undone
The district attorney at the time, Ken Anderson, is a now a Williamson County judge. Prosecutor Mike Davis is in private practice in Round Rock. Bradley, who was not involved with the original prosecution but fought Morton's right to obtain DNA testing, serves as district attorney.
This week, Bradley said he believed testing the bandana was unnecessary because law enforcement officials had not deemed it significant in their investigation. He admitted to me last week that judgment was wrong.
It was wrong, and not just because the evidence proved to be so illuminating. It was wrong because Bradley's duty as a prosecutor isn't to team up with law enforcement; it's to see that justice is done.
Last week, we saw the triumph of a man who believed the truth would set him free - as an unbroken man.
I hope, in the months ahead, we'll see the truly guilty held accountable, and find out how to prevent such a travesty of justice from occurring again.

Turn your fans into paying members
The secret to earning regular income is through memberships - whether you produce an online magazine, podcast, blog, newsletter or other medium. Memberships can earn you more than advertising, are more personal than subscriptions, and more engaging than donations.
Create a membership program for your medium with Steady now.
Earning money with online media – does it have to be so difficult?
How can you earn money with your content?
Once it was through advertising, but ads turn your website into a wasteland. On top of that, ad revenue fluctuates drastically, and can suddenly dry up. It's no way to work.
This is not how this works
Some creators put a neglected PayPal donation button on their website. But this hardly result in a liveable income.
How do the big ones do it?
Large corporate publishers protect their content behind paywalls. Paywalls aren't a perfect, but they're better than nothing, because most people won't pay for something they can get for free. There's quite some people who'd pocket a candy bar instead of buying one, if they could.
You're probably thinking:
How do I get my readers or listeners to pay?
It seems many media makers on Steady already earn four-figure sums monthly. How do they do it? They're often just one or two people.
I already have an endless to-do list.
Sometimes I don't feel like posting or podcasting - it's just so much work for so little recognition or money.
You're not alone:
Advertising revenue creates false incentives. It's optimized to pay for quick clicks, not meaningful engagement with readers.
Selling content via micropayments doesn't work. Nobody can live from it.
You're not an expert in marketing, software and accounting. Your strengths and talents lie elsewhere - and that's a good thing.
The solution is memberships
Membership programs bring you sustainable and predictable revenue. Your readers, listeners or viewers pay regularly, and are usually very loyal. This is how you build a reliable and lasting business. Having regular members changes everything.
If you answer yes or even maybe, then it's about time you launched a membership program.
Steady helps you set up a membership program
Memberships can create more work for you, but luckily Steady takes care of most of it.

"Steady is extremely user-friendly, both for potential supporters and publishers themselves. On top of that, the level of personal support was fantastic."
"I researched it for weeks and found Steady was the best solution... It feels that Steady just keeps growing, as there is always something happening, and faster all the time. That's the Steady effect, I'd say."
We built Steady because we needed it ourselves
Steady is a team of developers, designers, journalists and entrepreneurs in Berlin. We have a lot of collective experience in membership-financed media. We know how well memberships can function when they're done right.
Other companies launched by Steady's founders:
Steady's team members previously founded Krautreporter, a member-financed online magazine in Germany.

With just three days to go until the all-important Michigan primary, Mitt Romney had a lot riding on his economic speech in Detroit.
And by most counts, he totally bombed it.
Ad-libbing about his love of cars, Romney inadvertently reminded Detroit just how wealthy he is, with yet another out-of-touch, elitist comment.
"I like the fact that most of the cars I see are Detroit-made automobiles," Romney said. "I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually."
The campaign later clarified that Ann drives two SRX Cadillacs, one in California and one in Massachusetts.
And that wasn't the only weird thing Romney said. He repeated his line about the trees in Michigan being "the right size" (still not sure what this means), and made an awkward joke about the fact that he was speaking to an empty stadium.
But the most cringe-worthy moment was definitely after an audience member asked if he thought he had the best chance of beating Obama.
"I not only think I have the best chance, I think I have the only chance — maybe I'm overstating it a bit," he said, with a forced laugh. And then: "That's my family leading the applause."
But no one was clapping.

I have experienced some weird results from my sequencing lately.
I'm trying to sequence inserts in pCR2.1-Topo vector using the vector primers supplied within the kit (M13 forward (-20) and M13 reverse).
Prior to growing Over Night (ON) cultures on the clones, I test using the vector primers that the clone indeed does contain an insert. This PCR works fine and I can pick the clones that appear to have an insert of correct size. (The fragments a want to clone, may vary in size and I need a clone in a certain size).
After purifying plasmid from ON cultures, I sequence the clones to pick a clone with the correct sequence. I have done this many times before, but not by using the vector primers. Here is the problem:
1. It appears that the company has mixed up the primers, because I get the reverse primer's sequence with the forward primer. This I can see because after a few hundred bases the forward primer's sequence pops up. If it really was the forward primer that was used it should have been the reverse primer's sequence popping up. FYI it is not me mixing up the primers, I have done the experiment twice Has anyone else experienced this mix up?
2. One of the primers NEVER work in the DNA sequencing. Taken into account the potential primer "mix-up" it is the M13 Forward primer that never works. This is strange to me since the to primers as a pair function fine in the PCR. Does anyone have an explanation to why the primer is not working when used for DNA sequencing?
I have attached the chromatograms for both primers for one of the clones, so that you can see how it looks when I don't get a sequence for the forward primer.
Thanks in advance

Recently a car was stopped next to me at the traffic lights. The driver had his phone connected to the car's bluetooth and the conversation could be heard by me crystal clear in the next car - the guy was talking about something to do with money and his business and I assume was completely oblivious to the fact anybody within a 10ft radius of the car could hear his conversation - of course the information was no good to me; but maybe to one of his competitors or somebody who knew what he was talking about, it could be.
So it got me thinking about what activities a person might do on a daily basis that could possibly put their information (online accounts, banking information, private details, secret business information, etc) at risk.
Just a couple I can think of other than the car/bluetooth example to get things started...
- Reading email on a mobile device while standing in line: people around you or even watching CCTV around you can potentially see information you'd rather they didn't
- Not collectiong an ATM receipt from the machine - you see this all the time, at the very least you know what the person looks like, and now you know how much money they have available in their savings account
- ???
I know this is an open ended question, I'll give the answer to whoever has the most amount of examples or most creative/interesting examples

The Multiple Worlds of Turkish Women
When Zülal Topçu, my mother, boarded the airplane bound for Hamburg in June 1972, she had no idea of what to expect in that foreign city. 33 years old, she had arrived at the airport in Istanbul with a small suitcase.
She had left her husband and three children aged seven, nine and twelve behind because my father's civil servant salary was not sufficient to support the family. "We simply did not know how to solve our financial problems," she says today.
Pioneer migrant women
At that time, the Federal Republic of Germany needed workers. Newspapers and the radio in Turkey reported on the situation and got people talking. Eventually, Zülal Topçu began considering migration.
She was recruited by a chocolate factory. A Turkish member of the staff picked her up from the airport and took her to the workers' accommodation. The prospect of work and income had lured other mothers into the unknown too. My mother shared a room with five other Turkish migrant women; she worked hard and saved money.
One year and two months later, the family followed. Once my father had found a position in his profession as a teacher, my mother went back to being a housewife. My father is now retired and the couple commutes between Germany and Turkey. Their three daughters have finished university, are involved with German men and feel at home here.
Zülal Topçu was one of the "pioneer migrant women". The German public hardly knows anything about them even though they have similar life stories to tell. Germans tend to consider Turkish women as victims of a patriarchal society shaped by religious beliefs.
Female Muslims are believed to be oppressed, forced into marriage and beaten by men. The media nurture such clichéd prejudices. Therefore, head scarves and Turkish woman have become synonymous in Germany, even though only a minority of women from Turkey cover their hair.
Norms and their interpretation
It cannot be denied that there are a number of Turkish families in Germany that cling to strict values and norms. They do not permit women to assume any other than traditional roles.
It is not uncommon for the men of these families to interpret traditional rules even more rigidly than is normally done in their home country. Often, their attitude results from feelings of insecurity or exclusion abroad.
The personal circumstances of Turkish women in Germany, however, vary greatly. The gender roles among the Turkish migrant community cannot be sweepingly divided into traditional or modern.
"Different orientations can develop, depending on the level of urbanisation and education," says Yasemin Karakasoglu, researcher on migration and professor at the University of Bremen.
For outsiders, it is difficult to understand this variety, especially as the image presented in public does not necessarily correspond to the actual power relations within a family.
A look at the first phase of migration from Turkey shows that the predominant image of "the Turkish woman" is in need of correction. After all, more than 20 percent of the so-called guest workers, who were recruited, were women.
They arrived alone – and usually of their own accord. They were looking for professional opportunities and many actually enjoyed the support of male family members for doing so. Most of them came from an urban environment and were educated.
The problems of labour migration
It was only in the second phase of migration, which started in the early 1970s, that women from rural areas followed. Often, male family members forced them to leave their home. In this period, job prospects for men had worsened, not least because German companies were increasingly employing women.
Labour migration did pose problems for some Turkish women. It was easier for single women over 18 to leave the country than for younger migrants, who needed a notarial declaration of consent from their parents. Married women had to present a written permission form their husbands.
Families and relatives were afraid of gossip, while the men worried about their honour. The women had to promise to bring their husbands to Germany as soon as possible.
Liberation from restrictive relationships
These pledges were not always lived up to. After all, the trip to Germany also meant liberation from restrictive relationships for quite a few female migrants. They took advantage of the chance to escape dysfunctional marriages or unwanted weddings.
Uneducated Turkish men saw women as second-rate beings obliged to obey. Their patriarchal view was not challenged by life abroad. The self-perception of the women concerned, however, did change considerably. Social scientist Nermin Abadan-Unat speaks of Turkish women's enhanced self-confidence.
This is even observable in the case of women who did not voluntarily decide to migrate. Nermin Abdan-Unat admits that women from rural regions, "brought up traditionally, totally unprepared intellectually" and "without any knowledge of life in the city, highly disciplined working conditions or production standards" indeed found it difficult to get used to their new surroundings. Nevertheless, their entry into the complex industrial society did not have an unfavourable effect.
"Even if the guest workers have great difficulties adapting to their work, this is how they become familiar with factory work, discipline, awareness of time and punctuality, trade union activities and social entitlements. All these are things they were absolutely unfamiliar with before leaving their country. Moreover, other factors such as more comfortable apartments, urban life and being exposed to mass media prepare the ground for a certain emancipation of the women."
Things went differently for women from the villages of Anatolia, who, after the German recruitment ban of the early 70s, followed their husbands to reunite the family in the third migration phase.
These uneducated women had no prior urban experience. Their chances of finding work were poor because of the increasingly tight labour market in Germany. They typically lacked job-relevant qualifications. With neither schooling nor knowledge of German, they lived uprooted and isolated from the majority society. Many still live this way today.
Import brides
This was also to became the fate of many "import brides". In 1985, the film "40 Quadratmeter Deutschland" (40 Square Metres of Germany) adequately told the story of a marriage migrant. The bride was locked up by her husband and was not allowed to leave the small apartment by herself.
More recently, Necla Kelek, a sociologist from Hamburg, has depicted such biographies in her book "Die fremde Braut" (the unknown bride). Some Turkish women agree to arranged marriages, in the hope of an interesting life and more opportunities for personal development in Germany.
Thanks to the media, these import brides are no longer totally naive when they arrive here, but many still experience tough shocks. They are forced into an isolated life in an extremely restricted environment and have little opportunity to learn German.
Often the husbands feel threatened by the mere possibility that their wives might adapt to local norms. It is not without reason they decided to marry a woman from Turkey. Turkish girls, who have grown up here, are normally considered to have become too independent by men of the second and third migrant generation.
The daughters of the immigrants
Many daughters of Turkish migrants are very keen on education. Their ambitions result in a large number of female Turkish students at German universities. It increased almost tenfold from 1980 to 1996, whereas the number of male students only increased 2.5 times.
In the winter of 2002/2003 there were 24000 Turkish citizens studying at German Universities, 9300 of whom were female. The figure for female students had grown by four percent compared to the winter before, while the one for male students had only increased by 0.8 percent. However, as many migrant children have chosen to become German citizens, the official statistics do not tell the whole story.
The image of the helpless Turkish girl, often portrayed by the media, does not tally with the results of empirical research, points out academic Karakasoglu.
According to her, young Turkish women of the second and third generation do not see "any contradiction between the 'modern life' and individualism on the one hand and their intense family orientation, the inevitability of a marriage, the denial of premarital sexual relationships and the belief in the Islamic religion on the other".
Many German women believe that starting a family would be incompatible with personal growth, but young women with a Turkish background see things differently.
They do not mind gender specific divisions of labour in the household as long as their husbands cooperate closely in the interest of the family. Germans, on the other hand, tend to want to split all tasks evenly among husband and wife.
Head scarves as a voluntary expression
Speaking of religion, the pictures portrayed in the German media of women wearing head scarves, which often accompany reports on Turkish women, are misleading. Most women from Turkey do not cover their hair and therefore remain inconspicuous in public.
Over and over again, the focus is directed at the young migrant women who make their faith visible. This is met with a lack of understanding in German society and is viewed as a symbol of oppression.
Social scientists, however, interpret young women's conscious devotion to Islam as "an act of emancipation from a religion of their parents' generation that is perceived as traditional, ritualised and bereft of meaning".
Wearing the head scarf is in no way a symbol of outdated tradition but is rather "the appropriation of an individual life scheme". That some daughters of immigrant families do develop rigid ideas of Islam, probably says more about German society, which is still frequently felt to be hostile, than about the family's original culture.

A Symbol Which Has Been Instrumentalised
The Islamic headscarf is seen by the media and in public debate as a symbol of the oppression of Muslim women by their religion. Sabine Schiffer argues that this perception is often linked to stereotypes and prejudice, and that the media often try to read too much into the headscarf.

Herbs Etc - Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula - 2 oz. (59 ml)
Herbs Etc. Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula is a Mullein Leaf/Horehound complex. Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula enhances and maximizes lung capacity and oxygen absorption. Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula is an ideal formula for long-term management of lung challenges and problems. Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula provides specific support for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma. Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula is also useful for congestion, inflammation of bronchioles and lung tissue, spasms of bronchioles and excessive production of mucus. Lung Tonic Professional Strength Herbal Formula helps protect against respiratory infection, soothes and calms coughs.
About Mullein LeafParts used and where grownMullein is native to much of Europe and Asia and is naturalized to North America. There are over 360 species of Verbascum with V. thapsus, V. phlomides, and V. densiflorum mentioned most often in herbal texts. The leaves and flowers are both used medicinally.
Historical or traditional useMullein leaves and flowers are classified in traditional herbal literature as expectorants (promotes the discharge of mucus) and demulcents (soothes irritated mucous membranes). Historically, mullein has been used by herbalists as a remedy for the respiratory tract, particularly in cases of irritating coughs with bronchial congestion. Some herbal texts extend the therapeutic use to pneumonia and asthma. Due to its mucilage content, mullein has also been used topically by herbalists as a soothing emollient for inflammatory skin conditions and burns.
About Horehound HerbParts used and where grownHorehound is a perennial plant with small white flowers found growing in the wild throughout Europe and Asia. All parts of the plant are used medicinally.
Historical or traditional useHorehound was reportedly first used in ancient Rome by the physician Galen, who recommended it as a therapy for coughs and other respiratory ailments. Like Galen, Nicholas Culpeper, the 17th-century English pharmacist, commented that it was helpful for a cough and was also useful in helping remove stubborn phlegm from the lung. Similarly, American Eclectic physicians (doctors who recommended herbs) of the 19th century remarked on its value as a medicinal plant not only for coughs and asthma but also in menstrual complaints.
Herbs Etc. Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat forms do herbal products come in?The most popular herbal products in America are capsules, softgels and tablets. Herbal teas, especially in teabags, account for a substantial amount of the herbs consumed in the United States. Herbs in liquid herbal extract form are also a popular way to ingest therapeutic herbal products. Finally, herbs are available in bulk form in some health and natural food stores.
Which form of herbs offers the most therapeutic benefits?The therapeutic benefits achieved by using herbs depend on a variety of factors. For instance, does the herbal product contain all of the active constituents in ratios found in nature, or have the constituents been altered? Is the herbal product fresh? What is the shelf life of the herb? Has the herb been processed in such a way to ensure that it will be effective when you are ready to take the product? Does the product require you to digest the herbs in order to get all of the benefits from these herbs? Is it convenient to take? Is it affordable? Does the product address the problem that you are trying to solve? Of all the available forms of herbs, liquid herbal extracts best address all of these factors. This is the reason that American herbalists recommend this form of herbs the most.
Is it better to choose herbal formulas instead of single herbs?To get the results you hope to achieve, it is important to choose the herbs that best address your specific health concerns. This web site lists both single herbal extracts and formulas, as both are effective healing agents.
Can I take herbal extracts at the same time I am taking conventional drugs?In many instances taking herbs at the same time as conventional drugs will actually support and heal the body faster and more thoroughly. For example, taking immune stimulating herbs while a person is on antibiotics is recommended, because these herbs will strengthen the immune system and prevent relapses after the round of antibiotics is done. In other instances it is best not to take herbal extracts at the same time as conventional drugs. For example, I do not recommend taking antidepressant drugs and herbal antidepressants at the same time. Be aware that when herbs are combined with drugs, they can increase the action of the drugs. Consult a knowledgeable herbalist, a naturopath or primary care physician when combining any medications.

The store's primary mission is to offer herbal medicine information and remedies to the Santa Fe community. It is also a research and development center. Many of Herbs, Etc.'s herbal medicines are created and tested here.
The retail store offers over 250 varieties of bulk liquid herbal extracts. From these, products that are specific to clients' health needs are custom-formulated. For example, our best selling herbal throat spray was created while working with performers at the famed Santa Fe Opera. Singers would come to the store complaining of sore throats. Many formulations were tested, however, one formula was requested more often than all the others. This formulation became known as Singer's Saving Grace. Today, this product is available in four classic formulas (Extra Strength, Cool Mint, Honey Lemon and Serious Cinnamon) and 2 alcohol-free formulas (Professional Strength and Citrus & Honey).
From The Field To The PlantOnce a formulation has been tested and approved, the manufacturing process begins. At Herbs, Etc.'s certified organic manufacturing facility each herbal medicine product starts with fresh or dried whole herbs. The herbs we purchase are grown on family-owned, certified organic farms. They are grown throughout the United States in the climate and ecosystems in which they thrive.
Herbs, Flowers, Leaves, Buds: When Fresh is BestSome herb parts, such as flowers, leaves and buds, must be processed while fresh (undried) to retain their full medicinal qualities. This critical step ensures that the essential oils and other fragile constituents are not lost, evaporated or destroyed in the drying process. Fresh herbs are picked from the field and shipped overnight in refrigerated containers. Herbs, Etc. receives them while fresh the very next morning. Once released from quality control, the herbs are immediately ground to break the cell walls, put in an alcohol/water solution and extracted while fresh and vibrant. This process allows the release of active constituents.
Exclusive Kinetic MacerationHerbs, Etc. created an innovative, proprietary process called kinetic maceration. During this process, the alcohol, water and herbs are placed in a hermetically sealed container and tumbled non-stop for 12 hours. Analyses concluded that Herbs, Etc.'s kinetic maceration method yields 20-50% more active constituents than the maceration methods used by other herbal companies.
Seeing is BelievingAt Herbs, Etc. we always purchase roots, barks and stems in their whole form. Whole herbs prevent falsification by providing our herb buyers with obvious distinguishable plant characteristics. It is next to impossible to visually guarantee the identity of an herb powder. On the other hand, a whole herb is instantly identifiable. Keeping herbs in their whole form before grinding them protects against loss of potency and the destruction of their active constituents.
Herbs, Etc.'s GuaranteeEvery step Herbs, Etc. takes guarantees effective herbal medicine. More than 35 years of expertise as a leading manufacturer of high quality, potent liquid herbal extracts is your assurance. This is why every Herbs, Etc.'s herbal medicinal product is unconditionally guaranteed. As a medical herbalist since 1976, I have been an early proponent of the healing properties of herbs. I hope that this brochure helps you in your quest to make educated herbal supplement choices concerning your health and your well being.

MONTREAL -- A 51-year-old woman was in stable condition with a head injury Sunday morning after being hit by a car while jaywalking in Notre Dame de Grâce.
The woman was walking across Sherbrooke St. and Hampton Ave. when a car heading west on Côte St. Antoine Rd. – which intersects with Sherbrooke at that point – hit her about 3:25 a.m., Montreal police Constable Daniel Lacoursière said.
The pedestrian was intoxicated, he added.
The 70-year-old driver was treated for nervous shock but was otherwise unharmed.

When I travel, you will most likely find me in hole-in-the-wall restaurants, run-down eateries, or markets that offer traditional and authentic local foods. Nowadays, food has defined where I travel to, and eating local is a big part of all my travels. Through local cuisines, I've come to learn–and appreciate–the unique culture, traditions, and heritage that represent the places I go to. Eating local food is also a nod to the many dedicated and passionate mom-and-pop chefs who feverishly preserve their culinary identity and legacy through the foods they serve, and Ono Hawaiian Foods is one such restaurant…(learn more about traditional Hawaiian food after the jump)
When it comes to traditional Hawaiian food, the mental picture of luau springs to mind instantly. Luau is basically a Hawaiian feast that features local foods, hula dances, and island music. The foods offered at Ono consist of luau foods (sans the festive luau, dances, and music) and other ala carte local dishes.
We had a combination plate–a traditional Hawaiian food sampler–with six dishes: kalua pig, laulau chicken, pipikaula, lomi salmon, haupia, and poi. Poi is the staple Hawaiian food–a mixture of taro root (or corm) with water. The corm is cooked, peeled, and then mashed by hands using a stone pestle until a desired sticky consistency is reached. Water is added during the process. Poi is mostly eaten like rice, where you take a bite of a savory food such as kalua pig, laulau, or lomi salmon and follow it with a taste of poi.
Out of all the dishes we had, I especially enjoyed the laulau chicken. Wrapped with layers of taro leaves (yes, they are edible and taste like watercress but with a distinct aroma), laulau is steamed for hours. As a result, the meat contained inside the parcel–either pork or chicken–becomes exceedingly tender and juicy with the chicken meat practically falling off the bones. It was simply delicious!
The kalua pig was pretty good, too, with pulled pork kind of consistency. Poke, or raw fish mixed with seaweed, is another renowned island dish. Lomi salmon (or lomi-lomi salmon) is a tomato and salmon salad. Pipikaula are slices of beef jerky, and haupia is a pleasing local dessert with coconut milk and milk.
There you have it, traditional Hawaiian food that is humble but rich in characteristics and unique in its own sense. Please check out the gallery above to view individual item.

Lindsay Lohan Is Still Narrowing Down Her Myriad Rehab Options
Lindsay Lohan may have kept it clean at Coachella, but in order to keep it clean for good -- or for at least 90 days -- she still needs rehab.
While it was previously reported that the actress-cum-trainwreck had chosen a Hamptons rehab facility for her imaginary "lockdown rehab," it appears she's still weighing her options.
"Lindsay is expected to sit with me this week ... and then a final approval has to be rendered by the court," Lohan's attorney, Mark Heller, told The New York Post.
Sources told the Post that Lohan is looking into a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, Calif., but hasn't made a final decision yet.
Somewhat comforting? Heller says that Lohan's Adderall demands are false.
"She has not, nor would she be poised to, mandate any type of requirements," Heller clarified. "Nor has she directed me [to a facility that permits] her to use any types of substances such as Adderall. She has to conform and comply with the [rehab center's] requirements."
We'd hope so, considering that's the point of rehab.
Lohan is slated to check into whichever facility will have her on May 2. Here's hoping she leaves healthy, happy and only with things that rightfully belong to her.

Apparently there isn't much cross over between fans of English post-punk and the readers of this blog…
Wire performing the song "Mercy" from their album "Chairs Missing". I believe this was from a German TV show called "RockPalast" and originally broadcast in 1979.
"Snow storms forecast imminently in areas Dogger, Viking, Moray, Forth, and Orkney."
Also, Colin Newman's attire does give a bit of a clue as to where I got my (lack of) fashion sense.

I've recently been tasked with testing some COM objects of the desktop app I work on. What this means in practice is writing a large number (>100) unit tests to test different but related methods and objects. While the unit tests themselves are fairly straight forward (usually one or two Assert()-type checks per test), I'm struggling to figure out the best way to write these tests in a coherent, organized manner. What I have found is that copy and Paste coding should be avoided. It creates more problems than it's worth, and it's even worse than copy-and-paste code in production code because test code has to be more frequently updated and modified.
I'm leaning toward trying an OO-approach using but again, the sheer number makes even this approach daunting from an organizational standpoint due to concern with maintenance. It also doesn't help that the tests are currently written in C++, which adds some complexity with memory management issues.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

I had a feeling that was going to be the case. 3 hours long, long shoot, no script, it just seems like it was designed to be his critical failure since Dune.I still want to see the shit out of it though.
Modage will hate this.
The reviews that have been trickling in have been pretty negative. And while I don't ever trust initial reviews from festivals, they are something of a barometer of what to expect. Thus, I predict that:Modage will hate this.Neon will like/love it.Pubrick will be perplexed, but will come to realize he loves it.I will dismiss it, even as I admire parts of it.
I just have too much blind faith/optimism for my own good
Pubrick will be perplexed, but will come to realize he loves it.
I think my opinion is based entirely on that awful Avid thing...
i didn't like the avid dvd either...
