According to new reports, Warner Bros. may be looking for a director for the upcoming DC Extended Universe movie Birds of Prey.
Not much has been heard about the project since late 2016, when Christina Hodges (who wrote Shut In, Unforgettable and most recently Bumblebee: The Movie) was hired to create a script. If this report is true, then it seems as the studio liked her work; this is backed up by other recent news that she has been hired to pen a script for the Batgirl movie.
In the comic books, the Birds of Prey are a team of almost exclusively female heroes (technically Hawk was a member for a time, but pretty much only so that they could have his female partner, Dove). Many different women worked with the team over the years, but its core members are Black Canary (Dinah Lance, a martial artist who also has "the Canary Cry," a supernaturally powerful scream), Huntress (Helena Bertinelli, a vigilante who originally fought crime to avenge her murdered Mafia parents) and Barbara Gordon.
Barbara Gordon (daughter of Batman's ally, Commissioner Jim Gordon) was the first Batgirl, but she started the group after being crippled and instead using the identity of "Oracle," a master hacker who worked as an information broker for other superheroes. However, as of the comics' New 52 event in 2011, she has regained her ability to walk and resumed the title of Batgirl, and works with the Birds of Prey under that title.
This was a controversial move, as many fans find Oracle more interesting and/or feel this is a step back for representation of the disabled. It is believed that a Birds of Prey movie will have her as Batgirl, especially given the other movie planned in the DCEU.
Screen Rant reports the Birds of Prey script Hodges wrote includes Harley Quinn (played by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad), though it is unknown if she will be a villain or a reluctant, anti-hero teammate.
It is not known if Warner Bros. has an frontrunners picked for the role of director, though it is likely that they will try to find a woman; there has been some controversy about female-led movies having male directors, which may have been part of the reason that Joss Whedon stepped down from Batgirl.

tulips and cherry blossom branches bring spring and life into our rooms at the moment. i don't remember which blogger who claimed that tulips are at their most beautiful when dying. we agree. and don't toss them out before all of their lovely petals have fallen off and become colourful patterns on the table. in a couple of weeks we'll start pruning our apple trees so i guess we should be shopping for floor vases so we can enjoy the apple flowers from the cut-off's inside too. in the meanwhile we actually put this year's first seeds in soil today. tagetes. they are quite tough these ones, which means perfect for the climate up here. and with them, we can declare the planting season for opened. let's do some gardening!
last photo: please, kitties. stay away from our plants! we love you, but we also love to watch things grow. find something else to play with, okay?

It's true that over the years I haven't been especially impressed with Bosch espresso machines, but the Bosch Benvenuto B30 Automatic Espresso Machine may just have turned the corner and changed my mind. What makes this fully automatic machine different? Let's talk about it!
As I mentioned, this is a fully automatic machine. It has 15 bars of pressure and a Thermoblock pump system. It comes with a Stainless steel boiler as well.
As you would expect in an automatic, it comes with a conical burr grinder and a place to stash your coffee beans. It also has a seventy ounce water tank (which is a pretty decent size) that you can remove for easy cleaning. And of course, it comes with a frother so that you can enjoy your favorite cappuccinos and lattes.
What I really like about this machine is the fact that it comes with a two-year warranty and the Good Housekeeping seal, which recognizes quality manufacturing. These two things help allay a lot of the anticipation that I might have had over this machine simply because I haven't been thrilled with Bosch as an espresso maker in the past.
There aren't a whole lot of reviews online for this machine but I wouldn't really expect there to be. There usually isn't that many for automatic machines in this price range. Nonetheless, there are 17 reviews at Amazon. And the reviews tend to be very favorable!
10 of them are five star reviews, three of them are four star, two of them are three-star, and there is one each of both two star and one star. All in all, that's a solid average of four stars out of five which is really quite excellent given Bosch's past performance in this area.
The people that like this machine tend to really like it. They remark on how easy it is to use - which is not always the case with an automatic espresso maker. They also note that it's a fairly quiet machine which can also be unique when it comes to a machine of this size.
This is a very nice-looking machine. Even though it's a larger unit as you would expect for an automatic machine, it has a sleek and stylish design to it. I like the use of silver amidst the black outer casing. Frankly, I'd like to see this thing sitting on my kitchen counter every day.
At the end of the day, I'm sold on this machine. It is competitively priced at $1,445 and it really looks like Bosch has turned the corner and produced a very nice machine. Check out the Bosch Benvenuto B30 Automatic Espresso Machine today and I think you'll agree with me!

Celebrate auspicious Akshaya Tritiya this year with the pure white metal, Platinum. On this day 'white' is considered auspicious and is of special significance, for it symbolises purity. The word "Akshaya" means never diminishing in Sanskrit and the occasion is celebrated with white payasam, jasmine flowers; kolam and even white utensils are used for the puja.
Platinum is a naturally occurring luminescent white metal that is 95 percent pure in jewellery. The natural white colour of platinum symbolizes purity, wealth, power and strength. The metal from the time it is mined till set in jewellery and perpetually after, retains its white colour and never fades or tarnish with time. Making it the ideal choice this Akshay Tritiya.
"This year Akshay Trititiya is on the 18th of April, 2018. Coinciding with the Sukla Paksha pooja makes the colour white especially auspicious for the occasion. From wearing fresh white clothes to offering payasam and jasmine flowers to the Gods, the ceremony at home should be completed in white. Gifting Platinum jewellery to near and dear ones on this day is ideal, as it gives them access to positive energies of mercury and Venus, and thereby bestows upon them, prosperity power and blessings from God." said Pandit Kaliyur Narayan, a prominent Indian astrologer commenting on the importance of the day and the precious white metal.
The Platinum jewellery range for this special occasion includes elegantly crafted deity pendants of Lord Ganesha and Aum, to gracefully crafted pendants, chains, earrings and neckpieces, to classy chains and bracelets for men.

Being charged with a crime is can be a very scary experience. Depending on the charges, an individual charged with a crime faces the possibility of years in prison and large monetary fines. Due to the magnitude of these potential penalties, it is important that anyone facing criminal charges enlist the aid of a qualified defense attorney. A good criminal defense is the only difference that exists between defendants that go to jail and defendants that go free.
Reasonable suspicion and traffic stops that lead to arrest
Drug charges are taken very seriously in New Jersey. Sentencing for individuals convicted of drug crimes, however, can vary dramatically. Factors considered in sentencing include the amount of drugs found on the individual, the type of substance seized, specific drug charge including whether the person is charged with drug possession or drug manufacturing, the age of the defendant, and of course, whether the defendant has a history of drug charges.
What should I do if arrested or if the police are looking for me?
If you receive a call from the police that they are looking to arrest you or if you believe that you are going to be arrested, the first thing you should do is call a criminal lawyer. Make sure the attorney has a lot of experience handling criminal cases from beginning to end. You may have a friend who is a lawyer and offers to help, but you really want someone who specializes in criminal law because the choices you make in the beginning of the case can have an impact on how well the resolution will be in the end.
DUI charges can have long-term consequences
Drunk driving is treated very aggressively in New Jersey. Under New Jersey state law a person who operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 percent or greater is considered to be driving while intoxicated. Being found guilty of a drunk driving charge in New Jersey is a serious crime that carries penalties including community service, probation, monetary fines and fees, mandatory license suspension and possible jail time.
New Jersey ambulance driver charged with drunk driving
Driving while intoxicated can carry some serious ramifications for the offender. A person who is caught driving with a blood alcohol content level above the legal limit may end up facing penalties that include license suspension and jail time. If individuals drink and drive while on the job, they could end up losing their jobs as well, especially if that job involves driving and public safety. Facing a drunk driving charge requires a thorough understanding of both legal rights and potential consequences.

Going without a car: Petworth parents share how they do it/
by Elissa Fuchs
Cars may be one of the world's most revolutionary inventions, but they also cost a lot, pollute the air and upkeep and maintenance can be a major headache. For some area residents, a car represents a cost they can't afford, or perhaps they look to spend their money in other ways, inspired by environmental and societal benefits of being car-free.
Living without a car is no easy feat, especially for parents in the Petworth community. These moms and dads often have to juggle commuting, childcare, grocery shopping, pediatrician visits and social activities all without four wheels to call their own.
Take Julia Graff, a civil rights lawyer who moved to Petworth a few months ago. She and her husband Brad Leneis decided to sell their car in the spring to curb costs.
"It's really expensive to have a car, and we didn't rely on it for much," she said.
She and Brad use their bikes to commute to work downtown. One of them will strap their two-and-a-half-year old daughter Amery to a bike seat and drop her off at daycare in Columbia Heights before making the rest of the trek downtown. The other will do the reverse at pick up.
"There's no bike lanes [north of Columbia Heights] so I go on the sidewalk with my daughter," Julia said. "I'll go into the street after drop off."
The corner of 14th Street and Randolph, she admitted, is a little tough because there is no stop light, so she edges into the crosswalk. But 15th Street, south of Columbia Heights, has great bike lanes, segregated by rows of parked cars.
The weather doesn't bother her much. "If it's raining, we put on rain jackets," she said. Still, she imagines she'll opt for the bus sometimes during the cold winter months. When errands need to get done, they reuse their kiddo gear. When Brad has to go the dry cleaners, he'll load the bike trailer with clothes and bike across town. Julia uses a jogging stroller when she needs to pick things up. The biggest challenge, Julia said, is going on the spontaneous excursion.
"It's the summer and we wanted to go places," she said. While they have rented cars, "it is inconvenient to run to the airport to rent a car."
Still, being carless has been a good experience so far. "We are more economical and less lazy," she said.
Sara Schoen and her husband Ari Appel haven't owned a car since moving to DC in the mid-2000s. She said this decision stems from ethical reasons (they are both professional environmentalists) and financial ones (they can afford a car, but prefer not to incur the expense). When she was pregnant with their now 11-month old daughter, Orli, they asked themselves and their friends if they needed a car.
"There was enough support that we didn't," Sara said. From their Petworth home, they walk to Orli's daycare in Mt. Pleasant, then hop on the 16th Street bus to head to work, or walk back home on days they work from home.
For excursions or errands involving a car, they will use ZipCar or Car2Go when they're not taking their daughter. To strap young Orli in, they use a Corroco-brand carseat designed for urban car-less families. Like Julia, Sara uses baby gear to get errands done.
"For grocery shopping, the stroller is the best," she said. "I put her in the carrier and the groceries in the stroller."
Orli's pediatrician is at the Mary's Center on Georgia Avenue, and Sara now also goes there for medical care. They haven't relied on bikes for traveling with Orli, but "we probably will start putting her in the bike trailer soon."
As for challenges of not owning a car, she said it's a hassle to install car seats in rental cars, and expensive to rent ZipCar. Plus, "you lose the freedom to hop in a car."
For these reasons, Sara said that "every weekend we think about getting a car, we just keep not doing it."
For Mia Paustian and her family in nearby Crestwood, being carless was an ethical decision.
"My husband [Matthias] had always been environmentally aware," she said, adding that he grew up in Germany and is very comfortable with biking. "When we came to DC, we made a conscious decision to be car-free; we decided where to live in DC based on where we could be car-free."
To get their four-year old son Leo to school, they either put him on on the bike or walk with him. On days she goes to her office downtown, she'll bike the rest of the way after dropping him off. The roads can be difficult to navigate, but "there is always a way around."
Still, she advises that "14th Street can get harried, and on 16th Street, cars go fast. It is not ideal with Leo." A lot of cars double-park on 14th Street, and she wishes police would direct them not to double park.
To get groceries, Mia may go by herself with her grocery cart. "It's painful," she admitted. "But we're happier."
When the weather is bad, Mia will turn to the city bus system or Uber, with Leo strapped inside a booster seat. She doesn't anticipate buying a car anytime soon, even if new challenges arise.
"We want to stay car-free, even though Leo will be going to German school in Potomac, Md. in a few weeks, and we have no idea how we'll get there," she said. Not having a car, she added, inspires them to "get out in the open air, do something good for the environment, and good for ourselves."
Miriam Goldstein, a congressional staffer, and her husband Eric Wolff, a journalist, also navigate Petworth car-less with 13-month old boy-girl twins. They already were without wheels before their children Diana and Solomon (Solly) arrived, and decided there was no need for change.
"We walk to places, there is so much within a short area," Miriam said. This includes the two-block walk to daycare with the twins in the stroller. After drop off, she'll return home to bike to the Hill. On days Eric works from home, he'll just go back to his home office after saying good-bye to the kiddos.
Like Sara, they see a pediatrician at Mary's Center and as with Mia, they walk with a cart in hand to the grocery store. They also invested in a long tail cargo bike, which has two seats in the back for the kids and extra power pedaling. It's great for traveling with the children around the area. The couple said they will rent cars to travel to family or make a Costco run, but have no plans to buy one.
"We are trying to get away without a car," Eric said.
Eric and Miriam did bring up the point of wanting better biking infrastructure, an issue that others echoed. They want to see the city prioritize bike lanes. Avid Petworth News readers, they were somewhat frustrated with the recent ANC decision to prematurely oppose DDOT's Livability Study recommendations about a suggested bike lane along New Hampshire Avenue between Grant Circle and Georgia Avenue. They understand the sensitivities and politics involved, and hope more of an ongoing dialogue happens about this important issue.
Everyone interviewed agreed that a personal commitment to being car-less is generally not enough—it depends exactly where you live and what services are available. For some, the financial and environmental benefits outweigh the inconveniences, especially when mass transit and private services like Uber are available.
For others who can't afford to rent a car or jump in an Uber when needed, a bike may be the only option. Having the infrastructure in DC -- and in Petworth -- to make that more of a reality is something that DDOT, the local ANCs and residents, should all be concerned about supporting.
This is the first article by new Petworth News contributing writer Elissa Fuchs. A native Washingtonian, she lives in 16th Street Heights with her husband, son and newborn baby girl. She works in communications and enjoys yoga and running in her spare time.

Emma Ireland-Wakefield, Account Director at Brandhouse
6 weeks ago, I had a truly magical wedding day, which of course required a huge amount of hard work, planning and organisation. Whilst my now husband and I were in the depths of 'wedmin', I couldn't help but notice the similarities between planning a wedding and creating a brand. My favourite weddings are when the day truly reflects the couple's personalities, and includes lots of purposeful and personal details. Brilliant brands, along with their great design should encompass a personality, values and feelings to create the same impression. So here are some of the main observations and wedding / brand planning advice I picked up over the past year…
Like with creating any brand, the groundwork and planning needs to be set before you power on full steam ahead. It's important to gauge an idea of what you would like the overall look & feel of the wedding/brand to be before you get started. This starting point could link to planning or strategy phase when developing a new brand. Agreeing on key words or ideas of what you want your wedding to be e.g. rustic or black-tie glamour etc. is really important. Getting the thinking right up front and having ideas agreed with your fiancée/ stakeholders will save you all sorts of issues moving forwards! Once those words are decided then you can start building your visual 'Brand World' through good old-fashioned magazine cut outs or by a Pinterest board. This really helps inspire the colors, patterns, and textures for your day or brand. Try and be consistent by only choosing images that really link with your chosen key words, really connect with you and also work well with your ideal venue. These images will eventually inspire the mood and tones of everything so don't rush this stage and choose wisely. The inspiration board will then help narrow down the aesthetics, and inspire the overall look & feel of your wedding.
From the final inspiration board, you can then narrow down on 3-5 colours that will work throughout your wedding from bridesmaid dresses to flowers. The chosen colours should work cohesively with your overall look & feel for the day. So, for example, choosing bold harsh colours like red or black instead of softer pastels for a rustic, romantic wedding wouldn't be best match. Once decided on the wedding/brand colours and look and feel, that's when the creative fun starts – bringing it all to life!
As with creating any new brand, choosing the right fonts is so important and they really give an overall feel of your day. So picking a few appropriate typefaces, using them consistently across all your printed materials and not changing your mind halfway through is crucial. Your guests will first experience your wedding brand through either save the dates, formal invitations or even a branded website so this will give them the first taste of the big day. These days, some weddings even have bespoke logos and hashtags, which is another great way of tying everything together.
Your developed wedding brand should then help you execute and bring to life all other aspects of your day e.g. photographer style, caterer, music, wedding favours, and the like. There is so much to think about from flowers to the cake, but a really strong brand idea will help make the right decisions quickly and should tell you instinctively what the right fit will be. Sound is another branding element that shouldn't be overlooked. It seems obvious, but it's easy to forget that music should complement the environment you're trying to create. Throughout everything, try and let your brand or couple's personality shine through. My husband and I met in Whistler during a ski season and are avid skiers. We knew we wanted to include this shared love through our wedding day so we had lots of nods to Whistler throughout.
Overall be wary of being too trendy and focused on the latest must haves. Ideally you want to create a day and brand that is timeless. You don't want to look back in 30 years time and think what on earth were we thinking. Crucially, with every great brand, consistency and a strong, distinctive look & feel pulls everything together. Try and make key decisions and stick to them, have one strong and overarching idea/ concept and don't veer off track which is easier than it sounds. Everything will become messy and disjointed when you have too many ideas and try and muddle them all together.
Finally, don't be scared to invent your own rules, make it feel truly your own and not generic. Unique personal touches make a wedding day ownable and create a really standout brand. Those touches and the care and attention you put in will set your wedding or brand apart from all the others…. and hopefully express all aspects in an emotive, distinctive, memorable and authentic way.
Happy wedmin-ing/ brand development!

Born and raised in Sampson County, North Carolina, Brad has grown up as a member of the Coharie Tribe. He discusses his life in connection to the tribal community and how growing up Coharie affected his ability to live harmoniously with the people and the land surrounding him. As is the case with many Coharie people, Brad feels a strong connection to the Coharie River and an urgency to restore and maintain it to be used and enjoyed by future generations. Brad's main objective as a Coharie Indian is to pass on his knowledge to the children of the tribe, whether it be through his musical abilities as leader of the drum circle, his desire to find and speak the native language, his respect and honor for the tribal culture, or his passion for protecting the Coharie River, which he describes as a "heartbeat to [the] tribe."
On Growing Up Coharie
Brad grew up in Sampson County, just a mile away from the Coharie Tribal Center. He recounts taking fishing trips to the Coharie River nearly every Saturday growing up, where he learned valuable lessons from his father and his uncle about fishing and living off the land.
"Just, it's kind of a relaxing thing, you know, it takes the stress off of you. But back then it was to survive. That's how everybody learned how to fish—their granddaddies taught them, 'this is how you eat, son. This is how you survive, this is how you feed your family.' But now, we don't have to do that now."
"I fish just as much as I can. It's just something in me, you know, that's how me and my daddy bonded. He, I mean he don't go with me a lot but still, he taught me how to fish and that's why I do it."
"You only take what you need from the land, you don't take no more. And that's what he taught me. That's what my uncle taught me."
On Being Coharie
As leader of the local drum circle, Brad splits his time between traveling around the state to perform at pow wows and competitions, raising his children, and seeking knowledge about the culture of his community—including a never-ending search for any remaining speakers of the tribal language. Being Coharie is a tangible source of pride for Brad.
"It's a wonderful body of people. They're loving, they don't, you know, exclude people just because of the color of their skin, because of their race, their ethnic… none of that. It's just they bring whoever in. If you come in, you feel like you're home, don't you?"
"…most of the songs we sing are for our community and our people. It's like, a song that's a prayer for your people. When you're dancing, your footsteps are a prayer for your people."
"You know, but around here the closest language, that's what we're learning now, just so we can—cause a native ear needs that language. I don't know if you understand what I mean, but you can be in a crowd of people, a crowd of Native American people, and they'll be talking and yapping and talking and yapping and someone starts speaking the language, and you could hear a pin drop. Because that ear needs that language."
On the River
"Our people—that was our people's highway, that was our people's road, that's the way they traveled from point to point. Cause, you know, you can take that river from here to about anywhere on the east coast, you know, and get out and walk to wherever you had to go. Um, that's why there's a big link, that's what the link is, you know, that's how our people traveled, that's how they actually got here because we, we actually came from Camden County, New Bern, up that area on the river up there, that's the same river. And for us, when we get out there, it's peaceful because it's where our family came from, you know? I mean it's people that we don't know, but that's where we derived from. We know they were there. We can feel their presence or stuff like that."
"And that's a big part of our culture, that river is. A big part, like the main part of our culture. That's how they lived, that's how they rode, that's how they traveled, that's how everything."
"I used to go down there and catch buckets of fish. And now, you have to ride way up in there to get to that, you know what I'm saying? And we used to could just walk to it anywhere, and you'd catch anything anywhere, but now it's kind of, they're limited because they're trapped up, and that's what we're trying to get rid of. We're trying to free the fish, and you know, stuff like that."
"That River is like a heartbeat to this tribe, this community. This community was torn apart for a little while, okay? It ain't always been what you see here today. It was just a community, no more. People weren't worried about being Native American, people weren't worried about…they weren't worried about this… and that's easy to do, because we had to walk in two worlds. You had to walk in society, you with your job, your career, stuff like that, but then you also had to keep—I mean, you don't have to, but we need to—keep our culture alive, you know what I'm saying? Because it can easily fade. And that's my thing."
On the Future
For Brad, the future of the Coharie Tribe lies in the hands of the children, and his main focus is raising and teaching the younger generation to instill the tribal values in them that are so essential to the preservation of Coharie culture.
"I'd like to see [the river] completely clean now, for one thing. To function the way it was built to function, you know. There's a purpose for everything, and that river served a purpose but it can't serve its purpose. I'd love to see it be a, not a tourist attraction per se, but people just come to Clinton just to see it, about like y'all. You know what I'm saying, stuff like that. You know, just stop in and look at it. Just be amazed by it."
"I take care of my elders and I take care of my senior citizens, but my focus is children. Because that's the next generation, that's who's gonna take care of me. And you got to raise your leaders. You know, you can't—you let kids play all day, but if you watch a pack of kids play, there's gonna be one little kid that, they gonna follow that child. And you take that child, and you raise him the way he needs to be to lead the tribe. "
"And if I just do it, when I'm dead and gone or my generation's dead and gone, who's gonna do it? If I don't tech these kids, who's gonna do it? There ain't nobody to do it. After my generation's dead and gone, they won't be here anymore. So I gotta teach them, let them—or teach them what I know.

Blogging – 4 Effortless Steps to Modern Business Blogging
Modern blogging tracks its roots on the first virtual corkboard where individual messages are posted on electronic bulletin boards. It is moderated by an individual or a small group and organization. It evolved into online diaries and journals which are used to record the daily experiences of bloggers.
Today, blogs and bloggers have redefined themselves and started what others call as power blogging. These days, blogs are no longer just diaries or discussion sites; they are also used as tool to earn money from the Web. Some use blogs to market their products while others post articles to generate massive traffic to their main websites. You can also use blogs to add vitality to your online business. You can do this in 4 effortless steps as outlined here:
1. When you create a blog, make sure that its name icons whatever products and services you are offering. Make it simple but catchy like, 'The Shoe Expert Log' if you're into selling shoes or something like 'Super Article Man' if you're into article marketing. In this way, readers can easily determine the contents of your blog and this could generate targeted traffic.
2. List your blog in as many blog directories as possible. You can also submit your blog address to major search engines. It may take three weeks to a month before your blog can get listed, so you can use the time to add content and optimize your blog.
3. When you post something in your blog, do not forget to tag it. This will serve as a key word so that your posts can be categorized by the blog host and readers can easily get to your blog. Make as many related tags as possible to widen your audience share.
4. Add widgets to your blog that lists your hot products and special offers. These widgets are linked directly to your main web site or ecommerce site and serves as a window to your business.

What Is Hegemonic Masculinity?
Mike Donaldson
Sociology, University of Wollongong, Australia
Structures of oppression, forces for change
A developing debate within the growing theoretical literature on men and masculinity concerns the relationship of gender systems to the social formation. Crucially at issue is the question of the autonomy of the gender order. Some, in particular Waters, are of the opinion that change in masculine gender systems historically has been caused exogenously and that, without those external factors, the systems would stably reproduce.(1) For Hochschild, the "motor" of this social change is the economy, particularly and currently, the decline in the purchasing power of the male wage, the decline in the number and proportion of "male" skilled and unskilled jobs, and the rise in "female" jobs in the growing services sector.(2) I have argued that gender relations themselves are bisected by class relations and vice-versa, and that the salient moment for analysis is the relation between the two.(3)
On the other side of the argument, others have been trying to establish "the laws of motion" of gender systems. Connell, for instance, has insisted on the independence of their structures, patterns of movement. and determinations, most notably in his devastating critiques of sexrole theory. "Change is always something that happens to sex roles, that impinges on them. It comes from outside, as in discussions of how technological and economic changes demand a shift to a 'modern' male role for men. Or it comes from inside the person, from the 'real self' that protests against the artificial restrictions of constraining roles. Sex role theory has no way of grasping change as a dialectic arising within gender relations themselves." It has no way of grasping social dynamics that can only be seriously considered when the historicity of the structure of gender relations, the gender order of the society, is the point of departure.(4)
This concern with broad, historical movement is linked to the question of male sexual politics. Clearly, if men wish to challenge patriarchy and win, the central question must be, who and where are the "army of redressers?" (5) But "the political project of rooting out the sexism in masculinity has proved intensely difficult" because "the difficulty of constructing a movement of men to dismantle hegemonic masculinity is that its logic is not the articulation of collective interest but the attempt to dismantle that interest.(6) It is this concept of "hegemonic masculinity'' on which the argument for autonomy of the gender structures turns, for it is this that links their broader historical sweep to lived experience. Put simply, if the gender system has an independence of structure, movement, and determinations, then we should be able to identify counter-hegemonic forces within it; if these are not identifiable, then
we must question the autonomy of the gender system and the existence of hegemonic masculinity as central and specific to it.
On the other hand, if gender systems are not autonomous, then the question "why, in specific social formations, do certain ways of being male predominate, and particular sorts of men rule?" remains to be answered and the resistances to that order still...

It just hit me how I might be seen through your eyes. Some kind of sixteen-year-old philosopher.
I have always seen myself as a dreamer, as a believer in not only what the world wants to give you but how your attitude can completely change the way your life works.
I guess I am just a modern believer in that you can do anything you want as long as you put your mind into it. There is nothing that you can't conquer as long as you let yourself believe it. Of course, it can hurt sometimes, sometimes your willpower just isn't enough. Trust me, I know it more than anyone but don't keep yourself laying in a hole of sadness and self-pity. Don't let that keep you down and doubting yourself because you will just be playing with yourself. Only you have the power to get up and make your life and yourself feel better and change your life. No one can tell you to do it. Don't listen to what they say.

While working at Penn Valley Community College as the Art Department Lab Assistant, I was asked to create the end-of-semester poster and theme for a few graduating classes.
I was lucky enough to be able to experiment with visuals for the posters that allowed me to create challenging work. For the graduating class of 2016, I created three 48" × 36" posters that utilized a rotating disk to obscure and reveal the verbiage on the poster with a moire pattern. See the video at the bottom.

Being a toy manufacturer isn't all fun and games, especially as the Christmas sales season sneaks up. Pressman Toy Corporation, the third largest game manufacturer in the U.S., wasn't looking forward to another year of guessing just how jolly the season was going to be. This year, Pressman was determined to find the best way to organize its working capital, control inventory, and establish solid marketing projections to make sure it would not be caught short.
Pressman Toy, founded in 1922 by Jack Pressman, first made a name for itself when it acquired the rights to Chinese Checkers–still in the company's line. A pioneer in licensing, Pressman manufactured Dick Tracy and Little Orphan Annie playthings in the late '30s and later picked up licenses from Disney for Snow White and The Mickey Mouse Club.
The company has scored recent successes with such TV game-show adaptations as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and Double Dare, along with its Gooey Louie and Scooby Doo lines. The last two years have added Spider-Man and Hulk movie tie-ins.
Moving on to mySAP All-in-One
As a midsize business looking for an integrated platform, Pressman checked out "the usual software suspects." Business and technology consulting firm Answerthink, an SAP Business Partner, touted the benefits of a mySAP All-in-One solution based on SAP Best Practices for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG). Pressman was soon hooked. The early part of the story was reported in an article, "Wheels of Fortune," in Consumer Goods magazine online.
"It was very attractive to us to have a preconfigured solution for a CPG company that would enable us to implement in a matter of months," Alan Novick, director of information systems for Pressman, told Consumer Goods. "We also liked the fact that the SAP Best Practices embedded in the software walk you through, improving your business processes as you implement. It was very helpful to get insight into how the big boys do it."
Answerthink and Pressman developed projections for how the implementation of SAP solutions would generate ROI, incorporate financial best practices, streamline business processes, and control inventory. These solid numbers made the convincing case with Pressman executives. Working with SAP Services partner IBM Global Services, Answerthink helped Pressman roll out the first phase in three months in early 2003.
During this phase, the company deployed mySAP Financials modules for accounts receivable, accounts payable and general ledger. Previously, Pressman had scattered, non-communicating islands of information. Now, integrated information is available at their fingertips. This consolidation has helped do away with dependence on many spreadsheets, improve financial and reduce accounts receivable.
"What's really great about SAP is that almost every screen hot links to other information," Novick told Consumer Goods. "If you're looking at an accounting document, a sales document or customer invoice that you're paying and you want to know if it was paid, you can quickly navigate through and find out what it's for."
Novick notes that this kind of integration is especially useful to a midsize company like Pressman. With its limited manpower, they are dependent on IT systems to bring it all together, "and so far we have been thrilled."
Keeping the ball rolling
For their second phase, which went fully live on August 1, Pressman added SAP functionality in sales and distribution, materials management, production planning, purchasing, and inventory management to streamline logistics. The move to control inventory is critical because Pressman is a rare domestic toy manufacturer competing against importers. Thus, inventory must be kept lean in an environment involving thousands of items.
"Our customers are pushing for more automation and tighter integration with the supply chain," Novick says. "They basically want us to be their warehouse, to coordinate our shipments with them so tightly that it's almost as if we were a part of their organization."
This movement, he suggests, will ultimately force more manufacturers to participate in electronic marketplaces. In the meantime, Mega-customers like retailers Wal-Mart, Kmart, and Toys 'R' Us are already collecting point-of-sale information at their registers and transmitting it to Pressman weekly, along with inventory levels.
Pulling their feet from the fire
Since the major crunch for the toy business comes in the last three or four months of the year, the industry is especially sensitive to consumer trends and swings in demand. Pressman must keep an eagle eye on the marketplace all year long and be ready to switch direction at a moment's notice.
"Behind each game are production plans in the U.S. and purchasing plans for domestic and overseas suppliers that involve considerable lead times," Novick says. The mySAP All-in-One solution, based on industry best practices, makes it easier to identify necessary changes and move on them. The best practices, he notes, were the core consideration in choosing SAP.
So far, the logistics phase is up and running smoothly, though Novick notes that it's still to early to know how completely the company will realize the most crucial long-range benefits of tighter inventory control and more realistic and timely production schedules.
"One of the reasons why we chose SAP is that we don't know what the future is going to bring," he says. "We are doing things this year that, only 12 months ago, we had no idea our customers were going to require. We want to have the tools ready to participate in these customer initiatives. We know that SAP is always going to be on the cutting edge of consumer packaged goods and can provide us with anything we need to meet what our customers demand."

A warm cloudy day was enjoyed by 10 Members including our good friend, Gordon Stubbins, from the Humberside Branch.
Freight traffic was similar to our March 2016 visit but infuriatingly there appeared to be more freight and light engine movements on the Curve (Bridge Junction to Hexthorpe Junction ) route which we succeeded in missing! It is a question of looking towards the south at the right time and unfortunately we didn't!

A first for the Branch at our visits to Doncaster was the appearance of Class 68s. Two (consecutively-numbered) examples appeared during the day although only one member stayed long enough to see the movement from Norwich Crown Point.
68018 is close to journey's end as it heads a load of track panels from York Thrall Works to Decoy Yard through Doncaster.

Unsurprisingly, passenger traffic showed little variation from our previous visits although this will soon start to change with the introduction of the new "Azuma" units on VTEC services.

DMUs are often overlooked but one notable example appeared - 144012 which is the prototype of class 144e Evolution. It has been modified by Porterbrook to show how Pacers can be altered to conform with future accessibility standards that will otherwise "outlaw" them (and other DMU classes) from 2020.

Fall is also a fabulous time to sell your home. With the rush of summer behind, kids are back in school and daily life has become structured and scheduled again. Many people choose fall to sell their home. The competition is far less then it was during the summer and there are great deals to be won. Not to mention, viewing homes is a lot more comfortable- weather wise.
Here are 4 Reasons To Sell Your Home This Fall
1- Move into a new home by the holidays. Let's face it, no one wants to pack up a house and move during the hot summer months right? That time of the year should be reserved for vacations and relaxation. Not to mention, good luck trying to find friends and family to help you when it's over 100 degrees outside. Plus what's better than celebrating the holidays in a new home?
2- Local movers offer lower rates during the off season. Why pay more to move just because of the time of the year you decide to move. Spring and Summer are considered "Peak" season. Take advantage of lower rates during the fall and winter.
3- Less competition. With fewer homes on the market this season, you have less homes to compete with. You won't be up against the largest amount of comparable listings. so your home won't get lost in the shuffle.
4- Buyers are more serious. A buyer looking during the fall season is a serious buyer. No lookyloo's. They have time to spend looking at their options, and they have a better idea of what they want.
If you are interested in selling your home this fall, please call Realtor Laurel Jonas at 480-229-5861.

How the "kiddie tax" can bite when giving money to children
Families who want to help their children get a head start on saving and investing have several types of accounts to choose from, including a Roth IRA and a 529 Plan account.
And if you want to give money to a minor child for any purpose (not restricted to education or retirement), the account to consider is a Uniform Gift to Minors Act account, also known as a UGMA/UTMA account, or custodial account. But when you go this route, you'll need to know about the so-called kiddie tax, which results in taxing some of the child's investment income and unearned income at the parent's tax rate.
Before the kiddie tax was enacted in 1986, families could move assets to their children's names to reduce the tax on future gains or investment income. This was effective when the child was in a lower tax bracket than the parents. This worked well with capital gains. Before selling a highly appreciated investment, the parent would transfer the shares to the child's account and then sell them, realizing the gains under the child's Social Security number and then taxed at the child's lower tax rate.
But with the kiddie tax, most investment income earned in accounts owned or held for the benefit of a dependent child is taxed as if it were reported on the parent's tax return. In 2007, this rule was changed to include any children under age 18 or under age 24 if they're full-time students.
Also, the kiddie tax applies to all income that's not "earned." This means in addition to investment interest, dividends and capital gains, other forms of unearned income -- such as Social Security benefits, trust payments and even distributions from an inherited IRA -- are also subject to this additional tax.
Parents and their financial advisers need to understand the details of the kiddie tax because it should be considered when making decisions about how to save and give money to your children.
The basic rules allow for the first $1,050 of a child's unearned income to be free from income tax. Unearned income above that and up to $2,100 is then taxed at the child's tax rate. Any unearned income over $2,100 is subject to the subject to the kiddie tax. These limits are adjusted up for inflation each year.
Income over $2,100 isn't simply taxed at the parent's rate. Instead, the child's unearned income over $2,100 is added to the parent's other income, and the parent's total tax liability is recalculated. The additional tax attributed to the child's income is calculated on Form 8615 and is included with the child's tax return.
Parents can also opt for a simpler process, which is to use Form 8814 to report the additional income and tax on their return. But doing this can result in a higher total tax than having the child file an individual return.
The bottom line is that parents should limit the amount of assets they transfer into accounts whose investment income is subject to the kiddie tax, including UTMA/UGMA custodial accounts. By doing so, you'll limit the amount of unearned investment income subject to the kiddie tax.

We had a bit of a hiccup with our fryer on Day one, but that has been fixed and we are slinging our fresh fries with no problem. Lots of work and lots of fun, thank you to all who have made this possible!

Blergh, I just had two more jabs for Thailand and I am not reacting well to them! My arm is dead, I still have the cold from the first lot and now I just cant be bothered to move or revise, so instead I have decide to give this lovely product a mention.
I have owned the Bourjois Colour Boost, Peach on the Beach shade for some time now but then along came Revlon colourburst's which left me shoving it in my drawers. Anyways I wore this the other day at work and people mentioned the colour and how healthy I looked, whop whop!
This pinky orange shade is lovely during Spring and as my lips are feeling fragile at the moment due to the cold, lipstick is just looking awful! The Bourjois Colour Boost lip crayons are so lovely on the lips, they melt and leave a smooth glossy finish that lasts a good time. I do not mind reapplying this as it doesn't feeling drying on the lips and actually feels like it is moisturizing them.
Have a lovely Friday!

Tired of having waffles for both breakfast and dinner?
Let's face it; the dining hall isn't ideal for every meal, every day. Thankfully, there are other options. A quick walk to town will cure your food cravings.
If you head downtown on Wednesdays, you can take advantage of the Farmer's Market, located right next to Stony's Restaurant. If not, hit up Cait and Abby's Bakery for fresh bread and baked goodies, then Eden Gourmet (which has student discounts) for all your fresh food needs.
In my dorm, whenever we come back from town, my suitemates and I prepare a "dorm picnic." Always equipped with fresh bread, our picnics usually have two easy to make recipes: a simple brushetta and a cheese dip.
Brushetta ingredients:
Two tomatoes, olive oil, a lemon, fresh basil leaves, salt and pepper to taste.
For the Brushetta, dice up the tomatoes and tear the basil leaves into small pieces. Drizzle it with olive oil and squeeze half of a lemon, and stir it up. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and serve!
Cheese dip ingredients:
Two to three handfuls of shredded mild cheddar cheese, fresh basil leaves, a tomato, and pepper to taste.
To prepare the cheese dip, place all the cheese, torn basil leaves, and tomato chunks in a microwaveable bowl, then microwave for about 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. Take it out of the microwave and add as much pepper on top, as you like.
We usually end our evenings with a cake from Eden Gourmet, but these dips will definitely keep you satisfied until the next necessary trip to the dining hall.

Richard Keith Mahler (August 5, 1953 – March 2, 2005) was a starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Atlanta Braves (1979–1988, 1991), Cincinnati Reds (1989–1990) and Montreal Expos (1991). His brother Mickey was also a major league pitcher, with the two being teammates in 1979. The two had previously been teammates playing for the Triple-A Richmond Braves.
In his 13-year career, Mahler posted a 96–111 record with 952 strikeouts and a 3.99 ERA in 1951.1 innings.
Born in Austin, Texas, Mahler graduated from John Jay High School and then attended Trinity University, both in San Antonio, Texas. After being signed by the Braves as an amateur free agent in 1975, he made his debut in the 1979 season.
Mahler started on opening day for the Braves in 1982, when Atlanta won the National League West title. He made four straight opening day starts beginning in 1985. In 1987, he tied an NL record with his third opening day shutout. His best season came in 1985, when he went 17-15 with a 3.48 ERA. He pitched twice in the postseason, with the Braves in 1982, and with the 1990 World Series champion Cincinnati Reds. Mahler was a key member of that Reds' pitching staff as a spot starter and reliever, going 7–6 and contributing four saves. He also appeared in ten games with the Montreal Expos in 1991 before returning to Atlanta in mid-season.
After retiring, Mahler served as a minor league pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals and the Florida Marlins, and he was a roving instructor for the St. Louis Cardinals. He also managed St. Louis' Double-A affiliate in the Texas League from 1996 to 1997.
Mahler died at age 51 of a heart attack at home in Jupiter, Florida, where he was preparing for his second season as a minor league pitching coach for the New York Mets. He was survived by his wife, Sheryl, and five children: Ricky, Robby, Timothy, Tyler and Shannon.[1]

In the sea There are Crocodiles
Book Goodreads link – Here
Heart-wrenchingly genuine story of a 10 year old Hazara boy's journey from a war-struck grief-laden Afghanistan to Italy, via many countries and deportations.
However, everything in this book is what we already know through a zillion NYTimes or Times articles - the living conditions in Afghanistan, the different routes people take to get away from Afghanistan, the situation of immigrants in Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Greece.
The book follows a very narrative tone, with the boy , now a grown adult himself talking to the author, I highly even doubt if the author changed the tenses.
So this book does not do anything to your senses in terms of its language or how it portrays the situations back then. You will have to get this picture from the author's words, and by imagining it all, which is not a pretty picture.
There is no doubt that this is a story that should be told, to understand and never be able to fathom the horrors the country has seen at the hands of the extremists, but if you have read either of Khaled Hosseini's books, A Thousand Splendid Suns and KiteRunner, you can easily give this book a miss.
My rating – 3 stars

My creative project aim is to create an album cover for a band. I've decided to use a new band, Elephants In Paris, whom I know personally. They're currently undergoing writing some originals and this gave me the idea to help them get their name and songs out there. Currently my thoughts are to incorporate the band name and two of the members themselves.
It's important for me to create some publicity for them and get some photos out there; this is because I know how hard it is to start off. Audiences will love it too, it's important for them to know what a band member looks like and they're personality too. Majority of the audiences judge bands by their music, but they also judge by appearance and attitude. These photos I feel are happy, mysterious and a bit of fun.
My main aspects that I will concentrate on is getting the images on their website, my own, and getting friends to share around. That way, there's more publicity, and more coverage over the Internet so it might make it easier for managers and customers to find them and get into contact with them about gigs. The main reason for the photographs was for publicity for the band, Elephants In Paris (EIP). Then if they wanted me to, I could resize and touch up the selected images for them and place them on t-shirts, CD's (album covers) etc. and advertise/ sell merchandise at their gigs for small prices. This way they're getting their music out there, and their names and a bit of extra cash at the end of their gigs.
I know a lot of WAAPA people and I know how they're all gigging and getting their songs out there, so that was were I found my ideas. My inspiration however was my friend; he's in the band (EIP) and was very keen to push some new ideas forward. So I decided to help him and the band out. The theory behind it is, I've chosen photography because I'm currently undergoing a degree in it. It's my passion, so this is where the idea stemmed. This was a way to get my photography name out there (Focused On Shooting – https://www.facebook.com/focusedonshooting?ref=aymt_homepage_panel) and the bands name out there too, (Elephants In Paris – https://www.facebook.com/elephantsinparis?fref=ts).
First I planned to cross-reference their genre of songs against similar and popular bands. I also decided to take both their originals and covers into consideration when I did this. I not cross-referenced songs, but also other band album covers to see what was popular etc. When I did this I was looking for connections that could help me figure out what worked and what didn't, and I took that into consideration when creating Elephants In Paris' album cover.
Elephants In Paris plays a huge range of genres when playing covers of songs. They're a very versatile band; playing music ranging from Soul, Rock n Roll RnB and many more. They play music dated back to some classics back in the late 60's, to music of the modern age (2010 – now). It all depends on where they play and the audience they play to, to what songs they sing as a band.
There was a slight hiccup with the shoot, not all the band members were able to be at the same place at the same time. I had to make a hasty decision and decide that I would only include two of the band members, Bradley Roberts (bassist) and Chris Mackenzie (guitarist). I thought choosing the two band members who had similar instruments would look best on an album cover. The shoot took place at Gwelup Lakes. The reason I chose this place was because the area was quite magical and green and could be rather playful. After doing some research on album covers, most had either been taken outside or had been photoshopped to give the illusion of them being outside.
In conclusion the idea was great, once the band writes and records some of their originals, we can start putting it all together. I didn't end up using many props, just their guitars and amplifiers. This was to simply signify that they were band members, and to show the audience what instrument each of them played as part of the band. Not everything went according to plan, but I was able to make some quick decisions and alter a few things and make it all work out in the end.
I decided to include a few of the photographs that were best suited for the desired project. These six images were the best for the task at hand. As you can see, no photoshopping has been done as the RAW images were very beautiful and I felt everything was how I thought it should be.

Republican Gov. Nikki Haley announced a task force Tuesday that would aim to address domestic violence in South Carolina.
The task force will be made up of representatives from law enforcement, education and Cabinet agencies that could include Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services, Social Services and Probation, Pardon and Parole.
"Everybody that touches a victim or their family will have a representative around that table," Haley said.
The announcement came after the governor met Tuesday with battered-women's advocate Kit Gruelle, subject of the documentary "Private Violence," as well as Attorney General Alan Wilson, sheriffs, solicitors and legislators. Haley said she watched the documentary recently.

South Carolina has ranked repeatedly among the top states in the rate of women killed by men.
"Think about your daughters, think about your sisters, think about your mother, think about the 10 million children every day (nationwide) that see abuse in their families – what are we doing for them?" Haley asked.
Domestic-violence advocates have said more shelters for abused women and children are needed around the state.
But other state budget concerns including the state's multibillion-dollar shortfall for road repairs, a Supreme Court order saying the state needs to provide more resources to schools and $10 million needed for added caseworkers at Social Services could leave little money to add shelters.
Haley said it was too early to say where money would come from or if added shelters are needed. The task force will look at domestic violence county by county and identify the resources that exist and what is needed, she said.
Haley said she plans to go into neighborhoods and counties to educate and communicate with residents to make sure domestic violence is not talked about in secret anymore.
"Everybody in South Carolina has to understand you can't throw a dollar at it or a piece of legislation at it," she said.
House Speaker Pro Tem Tommy Pope, R-York, said he was excited to see the amount of law enforcement representation at the meeting Tuesday and agreed with the governor on looking past legislation.
"We can pass laws here in the Legislature thinking that we're doing better out on the street, but law enforcement (officers are) really the ones that see it happen," said Pope, a former prosecutor who gained national attention when he prosecuted child murderer Susan Smith.
