Unusual modern subcultures from around the world
The world is beautiful in its variety. There is no room for counterargument. Everyone is beautiful. "Yes, especially you, little girl, with the blood on your cheekbones and a zillion bruises on your body, you are the most unique and beautiful, and most importantly, definitely not mainstream. High five… or, whatever abusive words, you guys, are using to greet and congratulate each other". Perhaps, there is no need to be redundant, when it is possible to explain what the fuss is all about with one word, i.e. "subculture". Perhaps, the web 2.0 generation is "the" generation for those people, who had awoken from their long and deep sleep, who feel the urge to actively express their unique and inimitable inner self. Today is the best time for such unusual, queer, odd and bizarre groups of people, who can lead a full-fledged life, and be somewhat understood and perceived by the masses; there's no doubt that this is their Age of Enlightenment… and blah-blah-blah. The subtext of those "blahs" is rooted in the fact that despite the hopeful "now is the time for us" spirit, these people, are still considered unusual and bizarre in their choices, behavioral patterns and appearances. Otherwise, no one would talk about, or referred to them as unusual.
The fact that the culture, established and maintained by these unusual people will always be considered a "sub"-culture appears to be, by far, the most alluring attribute of being a part of this bizarreville. Skinheads, hippies, hipsters, emo, punks and many, many others throw down the gauntlet to society, rebel against traditionalism, conservatism and mainstream, however, they do not really want to be understood or fully accepted by the world, though some of them claim that they suffer from the lack of understanding. Such acceptance will be symptomatic of the popular culture disease, in other words, their witty attempts to catch attention, incite controversy and spread perturbation among the "regular" people would be warmheartedly greeted, and ironically, that is not what they are wishing for. Some subcultures are, indeed, about people, whose inclinations and beliefs appear different from the ones, propagated by the majority. These groups of otherworldly people are harmless. But there are subcultures, whose oddity is repulsive, as it strikes terror into one's very soul. The confidence in the idea that something is definitely up with such people is not a sign of fear or narrow-mindedness.
For instance, otherkin happens to be an Internet-based subculture, who believe that they not exactly human. "Otherkin often believe themselves to be mythological or legendary creatures, explaining their beliefs through reincarnation, having a non-human soul, ancestry, or symbolic metaphor" (Murano, 2009). Vampires, demons, dragons and other lovely creatures are the common members of this subculture.
Do not forget about the Sukeban girls, who represent Japanese girl gangs, who prefer wearing sailing uniforms, while committing acts of violence and shoplifting. There are also quite aggressive and deadly looking guys, who belong to the Norwegian Black Metal subculture, who reject mainstream culture in all its forms, and probably that is why they prefer to desecrate graveyards.
Hippies, nerds, industrials, hipsters, punks, Goths, bikers, cyberchics, skinheads and others are puppies in comparison to the previously mentioned groups of individuals. Their uniqueness may, indeed, be truthful and not at all pretentions. But it is difficult to be open-minded about the Norwegian angry men, or skinny Sukeban girls. This is not about being not like others; this is a sign of a certain medical condition… So, who still thinks that the world is beautiful in its variety?

"It's really a godsend to them."
Daily financial and political snark
"It's really a godsend to them."
"At UF, which had nearly 1,000 state and local law-enforcement officers on campus on Thursday, the tab exceeded $600,000, the equivalent of nearly 100 students' annual tuition. In effect, taxpayers heavily subsidized racist speech rather than education or research."
Ultimately, we might all be better off if we restored some of the specificity to these labels.
"You will not replace us," "Russia is our friend", "the South will rise again."
"We are ALL being played. Including JD."
"No matter what color, shape or origin, modern-day right wing populism just cannot shake off its fascination with Mein Kampf."
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Beast that the social-media giant "shut down several promoted events as part of the takedown we described last week." The company declined to elaborate, except to confirm that the events were promoted with paid ads.
"My parents enlisted in World War II to fight fascism. They both served; my mother was a nurse, my father navigated bombers. They lost friends in that bloody war so that all the world could be free of fascism. They did not fight so that some white people could claim supremacy or that Nazis could openly walk the streets of America."
"I helped kick a group of neo-Nazis off the internet last week, but since then I've wondered whether I made the right decision."
There you have it America: proof positive that Will Ferrell is in on it too.
Bannon can talk about "going to war" for Trump against Congress and the "globalist" elements in the White House all he wants, but the bottom line is that Steve already went to war – and he lost.
Today was Bannon's last day in the Trump administration and on Friday evening we learn that it was also his first day back at the old barnyard.
"We are grateful for his service and wish him the best."

After the recent general election and establishment of a new government in Ireland, I was thinking of those who don't (or cannot) vote for one reason or another. However, few people realise that there is a substantial percentage of the population whose religious convictions prevent them from voting because of these words of Jesus: "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18v36) Yet I am also reminded of His words in Luke 20v25: "Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's."
As I go about my business every day, I am very much aware that (like it or not) I actually live and participate in this world; a world where I buy and sell (for the moment) and a world of political leaders who make decisions which affect the nature of our lives as human beings. Could I, for example, as a Christian, stand by and take no part in a referendum which would introduce ethnic cleansing? If I had lived during the era of Hitler's regime, would I not, as a Christian, have had strong views on this man's murderous attitude to the Jews, God's ancient chosen people – and to other minority groups whom he abhorred?
Yes, as an individual I feel morally bound to use my vote but to be honest I find myself voting to keep certain candidates out, as opposed to putting people into government.
Unfortunately in Ireland there are political parties which have been (and very possibly still are) associated with terrorist organisations. Therefore, how can I, as a Christian, stand back and not use the tiny influence that I have in my vote to stop such political parties gaining power in my country? In Proverbs 28v5 I read: "Evil men understand not judgement: but they that seek the Lord understand all things." Therefore I feel that as a Christian the Lord would have me to use my vote prayerfully at both election and referendum times. However… should a Christian be a politician?
One good example of a Christian politician in history is William Wilberforce. This young man came to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in 1784, having been influenced by a book "The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul" by William Doddridge who was a leading non-conformist in the early 18th century. It was the influence of William Wilberforce in politics which lead to the abolition of the slave trade but he also advocated many other changes in society which were based on Christian principles.
Having quoted this example of a Christian politician in history, however, I also believe that there are relatively few Christians involved in politics in today's world, something which is evidenced by the introduction of evil laws and legislation which are contrary to scripture.
In answer to the question: "can a Christian be a politician?" I believe that the answer is 'yes' but only, of course, if the Lord definitely guides the individual to do so. He or she would need to be strong in their relationship with the Saviour and to be in no doubt as to their calling into this field for it is a difficult sphere in which to take a stand. Many snares are out there and the Christian must "dare to be a Daniel – and dare to make it known!" It must be remembered that neither politics nor any other issue in this life must get in the way of our relationship with the Lord. He must come first in our lives above all else and we must never be tempted to compromise our position because of popular or majority support for something which is contrary to God's laws. Jesus said: "He that is not with me is against me;" (Matthew 12v30)
There can be no 'sitting on the fence' and no 'grey areas' when voting on any issue.
With this in mind it is interesting to note that William Wilberforce was an independent Member of Parliament. For obvious reasons, it is perhaps not a good idea for Christians to be involved in 'Party Politics' – unless the Party concerned has a manifesto which is based solely on Biblical principles.
As someone who was born in the middle of the 20th century I have watched, with interest, the political events of this world unfold. Totalitarian regimes and the many faces of communism have come and gone. Proverbs 1v14 warns of those who beg… "cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse;" and Proverbs 28v15 warns of wicked rulers… "As a roaring lion, and a raging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people."
Proverbs 27v24 declares… "For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?" And so, this world will some day come to an end – along with all earthly kingdoms and political ideologies. But there is a King who is coming to reign and "of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end…" (Isaiah 9v6&7) He is "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS" (Rev. 19v16) and His glorious Kingdom "is not of this world." Therefore let us who know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour serve Him with a pure heart in this life, whatever our standing in the communities in which we live. We must take a stand on the controversial issues of our day, for if we claim to own Jesus as "King of Kings and Lord of Lords," then we are the "salt of the earth" – but "if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?" (Matthew 5v13)

Book Review: Intrinsical By Lani Woodland
I loved this story from start to finish and it grabbed me and had me hanging on for dear life wondering what was going to happen next. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough as I devoured all the many unexpected twists that forced surprise from my mouth numerous times.
In addition to the amazing story-weaving talents Lani possess,where she easily casts the reader under the spell of her well-written, engaging characters; she also has an incredible eye for photography. She took the fabulous underwater picture that graces her cover.
In Intrinsical, Yara was looking forward to attending Pendrell boarding school with her best friend, Cherie. It was a chance to escape all the jokes about her crazy ghost-talking grandmother. She wanted to be normal and with relief thought that the dormant Waker gene that let her grandmother see and talk with ghosts might just have missed claiming her. But when she sees a dark mist trying to attack Brent, a gorgeous, popular athlete, and tries to kill him, she impulsively jumps in to save his life. But this causes her to draw the attention of the dark mist as it begins to stalk her as she learns about the curse that has haunted her new school with dark spirits, as it seeks to threaten her life. At the same time Brent turns his focus to Yara as he wants to know more about the girl who saved his life.
Then Yara's best-friend Cherie, excited to investigate all the stories of hauntings around the school, hopes to make contact with the ghosts of the curse. She drags her new boyfriend Steve along with Yara and Brent into the heart of the curse, but she doesn't have the ability to make contact, even though she studied with Yara's grandmother,the ways of the Wakers, strange things begin to happen around them.
Meanwhile, Yara learns that maybe the Waker gene didn't skip a generation after all. Fighting her heredity and her growing powers as a Waker she finds herself pulled further and further into the realm of ghosts and dark spirits as she and her friends delve deeper into finding out about the long standing curse and the mystery behind it the danger that lurks in the shadows as they learn that the deaths that occurred at the school and the sinister nature of them is may be more than what anyone ever realized.
Intrinsical held me spell-bound until the last amazing twist-filed page. I loved the characters and how they grew with each new discovery they made. The ties of friendship and loyalty are portrayed in a depth that shows the importance of courage, trust and always being there for each other. They changed as they learned that they could be more important in each other's lives than they ever imagined.
I loved how well each new surprise sprang out at me unexpectedly as incredible events where there was no turning back left you wondering how the characters could possibly overcome them and how unpredictable it all was in the end. It was refreshing to find this clean paranormal romance free of sex and swearing.
Lani's writing transported me to Pendrell where I felt the brush of the icy wind on my face and could smell the chlorine that permeated the air and hear the slopping wet foot prints as they appeared sinisterly as they drew closer and closer. I could even feel the chill go up my spine when a mysterious message appeared in a fogged up mirror. This is a book where you want to curl up in a under the covers with a flash light so you can chase away the shadows edging closer and closer.

I do love the bookcove, it's very intriguing and suggestive, but I also must admit I don't like the trend of young teens reading about ghosts, curses, dark sinister mists and hauntings and finding joy in it. I do know that teens go through dark phases and similar, and thus sometimes get a bit Gothic :) but I'd personally never encourage my own kid to read Twilight and similar modern books. It's just a wrong role-model.
Your review was lovely as usual, Debs :)

I've been thinking of what books I read when I was in that age group. One of my fav's was A Wrinkle In Time--really a weird fantasy that had a definite dark side. But the important thing is that it got me to read. I've since read classics, churchy, western, and everything inbetween. I think if they are reading, then it's a good thing. That said, I do censor what my kids read until I feel they are old enough to handle the material. I'm not sure when I'd let them read some of the more racey vamp books
with all the innuendo.
Nice review, and great book. Well done.

May 11, 2010 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - With all the deliberate speed that a hidebound bureaucracy can muster, the U.S. State Dept. is considering the possibility of placing Pakistan's Taliban on its official Foreign Terrorist Organization [FTO] registry. [see, http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/other/des/123085.htm]
The recent revelation that the Pak Taliban was involved with Faisal Shahzad's botched Times Square bombing plot has led to considerable pressure towards such a finding.
"It is something we are considering in light of what happened, and obviously the investigation will yield information that might give us greater clarity," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters. Crowley said there was a lengthy legal process before a group could be designated a "foreign terrorist organization" and he did not know when a decision would be made." [source, Reuters, U.S. mulls putting Pakistan Taliban on terrorism list, http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64A4YF20100511?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews]
What State has so far remained unclear about is whether such a move would signal the abandonment of its previous stance, that "moderates" within the Taliban might be worked with.
Contacted for comment on this development was Clair Lopez, Sr. Fellow at the Center for Security Policy [see, http://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/index.xml].
She outlined the three prerequisites that are necessary to initiate the process of being added to the FTO by the Dept. of State:
1. That the group be foreign.
2. That over the last two years the group either has committed or retains the ability or intent to commit terrorist actions against the United States.
3. That the group poses a national security threat to United States citizens or facilities.
Regardless of whatever inner machinations may or may not be going on at the State Dept., the most direct method of declaring the Taliban a terrorist entity would be through an executive order, the manner in which President Clinton so designated the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in January of 1995.
Such an action could almost immediately clear the way for sanctions to be applied against the group, which might include a freeze on whatever banking assets that might fall within U.S. jurisdiction.

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Transgenomic said after the close of the market on Thursday that its second quarter revenues rose 4 percent year over year.
For the three months ended June 30, the Omaha, Nebraska-based firm reported revenues of $7 million compared to $6.8 million in the year-ago period. Adjusting for the company's third quarter 2014 sale of its Surveyor kits product line, Q2 revenue increased about 11 percent year over year, the company noted.

In line with the motor racing theme inspiring the collection, the new Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic has many details that recall vintage sport cars, starting with the 43 mm stainless steel case that has been satinated for an automotive look and better resistance to scratches.
Its look is strongly characterised by the unidirectional rotating black bezel – knurled on the flank and made of shiny high-tech black ceramic – which can be used as a second time zone indicator.
Ceramic has excellent properties, especially for a sport watch, including non oxidization and high-resistance to scratches and chemical agents.
Other car-inspired details are the semi-skeletonized horns and the knurled black DLC crown and chronograph pushers.
The black dial features strong colour contrasts with silvery-white and red elements, as well as three-dimensional counters displaying the chronograph hours at 6 o'clock and chronograph minutes at 12 o'clock. The central red chronograph seconds hand has a tip sculpted in the form of the Minerva arrow.
All the readings are highly legible, even in poor light conditions, thanks to black rhodium-plated dauphine hands injected with Super-LumiNova, and a precise silvery-white minute track that has also be enhanced with both Super-LumiNova and red markers for the 15-minute marks.
The case back has been fitted with a smoked glass opening which reveals the 4 Hz (28,800 vph) calibre MB 25.07 offering 46 hours of power reserve.
The watch comes with a choice of three different strap options: perforated leather, perforated rubber, and a new performance metal bracelet with three links. The perforation holes of the straps recall the leather driving gloves used in the days when steering wheels were made of wood and needed to be firmly gripped. Straps and bracelet are equipped with a new triple folding clasp that was developed specially for the TimeWalker Collection.
Each Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic (ref. 116096) is water-resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet and has been rigorously tested by the Montblanc Laboratory Test 500, simulating real-life wear for over 500 hours.

With a changing economy, many highly qualified professionals are finding that they have no choice but to accept lower paying jobs they don't want or start their own business.
It could be that they lost their job or have not been able to find one in their area of expertise.
A college degree does not guarantee that you will land the job of your dreams in the industry of your choice anymore. This is even more true for the thousands of immigrates who were either forced to move or chose to move to another country for a better quality of life only to find that their college and university degrees are not honored elsewhere.
That is why you'll find doctors, engineers, lawyers and other highly skilled professionals opening restaurants or driving a taxi when they arrive at their new destination. Unless they go back to school and graduate under the terms and conditions of the new country they live in, they'll not be able to practice their profession.
No matter what the circumstances are, many who choose to open a business are not ready to operate one. It was a choice made out of necessity or the false illusion that a business will give them more freedom.
Business Survival Rates
The five year survival rate for Canadian businesses is 51 per cent, according to the report The State of Entrepreneurship in Canada. The numbers are very similar in the United States according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Some of the most popular businesses are restaurants or retail stores which ironically tend to have the highest failure rates and require a bigger investment.
Direct marketing businesses seem much more attractive to those with minimal business skills and smaller startup budgets thinking that because everything is "almost" done for them, they don't need the business, marketing or sales expertise. They expect everything to run on autopilot.
That can't be further from the truth.
I was not surprised to see direct marketing businesses on the list of "businesses most likely to fail". Studies show that the reasons are "lack of training, poor sales skills, and not investing enough work hours" which contribute to a much higher than average failure rate.
Opening an online store on Amazon.com, ebay.com or other similar platforms or joining a network marketing company with a solid line of products does not guarantee sales. You'll still need marketing expertise to drive traffic to your stores, sales expertise to convince them to buy from you rather than someone else and business expertise to keep your books, numbers and business operations in order.
There is no way around it. Unless you have the budget to hire someone to manage your business, you are going to have to roll up your sleeves, start learning and take action on what you learn.
Business Survival Tips
Here are some of the business survival tips recommended by the Canada Business Network. You will find that most of the recommended tips revolve around business, marketing and sales skills.
Follow these tips to avoid some of the pitfalls that can lead to small business failure.
- Develop a good marketing and business plan that takes into account customer needs, competition, pricing and promotional strategies.
- Have a good working knowledge of business law or hire a lawyer.
- Understand your business finances, such as cash flow and handling credit.
- Keep a good inventory of your products or services and your existing customers.
- Make sure you have the experience, expertise and talent to run your business.
- Plan every part of your business from start to finish.
- Make sure you are offering a product that is unique and competitive or at a lower cost than that of your competitors.
- Don't under-estimate your expenses and over-estimate your revenue.
- Make sure you have some cash reserves or a line of credit to help you get through slow periods.
What business are you in?
If you don't currently have a business or a product or don't represent a particular brand or company, you might as well start with the business of education. Once you know what you're doing, you can expand to any industry you want.
Business focused information products are hot right now. As more people are migrating from an employment to a business model, they need the education, coaching and support to make that transition.
If you take the time to learn the ins and outs of the information products business particularly focused on marketing, sales and business best practices, you'll not only learn skills that will pay you for years to come, you will be tapping into a growing industry that you can profit from.

I have a life too ...
It seems to me that there has been a change is the way most of us think about our lives over the last 20 years. We used to want to establish a career and climb the ladder as far as we could and that was the main focus. Our current work forces seem to be a bit more balanced, wanting to have a balance in work and life outside of work. This is an understanding that we must use to our advantage when dealing with a labor intensive operation... especially the Hospitality Industry.
When reviewing employee engagement surveys, there seems to be one method of communication that operators can improve upon and make significant strides in growing the engagement within their group. That method of communication would be the work schedule. I know that seems rather elementary or basic, but remember top performers have mastered the basics. The work schedule has evolved over the last several years with online scheduling provided by many different companies like When To Work, Hot Schedules, etc. Some organizations are taking advantage of these online tools to help streamline the scheduling process; it enables employees to view schedules online... mostly accessed by employees smartphones. This technology is once again a great improvement, but only if they are used correctly.
There are several issues that revolve around the work schedule, although the schedule itself is a communication piece the issues will fall into the fairness category most of the time. As you know there are 5 cornerstones to employee engagement.
The most common issues revealed to us employee engagement surveys are; posting the schedule late | requests not being met | work schedules not being distributed fairly.
Posting the schedule late not only falls into the communication and fairness cornerstone, but also respect. Since employees are more focused on their life outside of work they need time to plan what they will be doing on their days off, a schedule posted only a few days before it starts limits the ability of an employee to plan. I have experienced employees that will go ahead and make plans and if the work schedule conflicts with the plans, they will call off work... multiplying the intensity of the issue. In some instances employees have multiple jobs and scheduling is critical to their ability to perform both jobs successfully. My oldest daughter is a full time student, works at the front desk of a local hotel, works for a national restaurant chain in multiple positions, teaches dance at a studio and also gives private dance lessons... she is busy! She came to me the other day and said that one of her jobs had not yet posted the schedule, it was 3 days past the normal post day. You can only imagine how this issue caused her undue stress and anxiety.
Requests not being met is very similar to the late posting of the schedule. Employees need certain days off due to hundreds of reasons, medical appointments, vacation, family, etc. Again understanding the need and want for balance, these requests given in advance should be met. Try explaining to an employee that the request they made weeks in advance for a day off will not be granted, this is usually not a good conversation. You can list as many reasons as possible, but it will not be received well by the employee. Your reasons may be valid, but remember the employees perception is their reality. They will most certainly mention that one of their co-workers got their request met.
Work schedules not being distributed fairly is also a very common complaint. "I have not had a weekend off in months", "Certain people in my department always get the AM shift", "When I was hired, I was told that I would not have to work late at night" and "Why can't we rotate weekends offâ" are all comments pulled randomly from a recent employee engagement survey. These all indicate unfair work distribution and if persistent will erode your employee engagement. Schedule makers need to keep these things in mind when creating.
Now I will be the first to admit that making a schedule is not the most glamorous task that management has to complete, but it is more important that you think and getting more important as employees focus more on life/work balance. I mentioned above the new technology for online scheduling, all of which enhance the communication piece of the schedule, but fail to correct the fairness and respect aspects of the work schedule. In fact the schedule that was late in the example I gave about my daughter was an online schedule. So if they are not administered properly then they will also cause issues.
Take a look at your scheduling processes and take into account the impact they have on your employees and their lives. There is always room for improvement and mastering the basics is key to success.
If you would like to discuss your engagement issues, please feel free to contact me for a free employee engagement consultation. firstname.lastname@example.com
A talented staff gives you a major source of differentiation. Achieving this advantage or edge through people requires that your organization successfully attracts and retains talent by engaging the spirit of your employees at all levels.

What is the Less Than series?
The Less Than series is a stand alone series set in the Montgomery World and is about Dimitri's siblings from Restless Ink. You can read any of these books in any order. You do NOT need to read Restless Ink or any of the other books in the Montgomery world before you read this series.
The Carr siblings have always been a unit. No matter what came at them, they stood together, even if they didn't always get along. After losing their parents they knew they needed to fight for what was theirs, even if they only had each other. And as secrets come to light, they'll have to decide if the past means more their futures. And along the way they'll each take a turn falling for those that need them most of all.
They say loss changes a person, but what's left behind? And what is there to lose when you thought you lost it all?
Three couples will have to figure out what their answers could be as they do the one thing that risks the most: fall.
They fall hard. They fall fast. They fall hot.

Obesity is a major lifestyle disorder nowadays, spreading all over the world in adults, along with grown-ups and youngsters, causing physical and mental disorders.
Today's culture has shifted food pattern towards fast food causing obesity. Different apps on our mobiles make it so easy to order food, by just one click of the button.
We have only one task to do, to get off the sofa, open the door to collect the junk food ordered by us.
What hard work!!
Causes of Obesity
Our eating habits are the key to a healthy diet. It starts from the day we are born. The food that our parents introduced to us become habits for life.
If we have a culture of having a balanced diet of fruits vegetables and dairy products daily at our home we will be used to, to that
On the other hand, if we have introduced to lots of oily, spicy, sweet high sugar food at a young age it becomes our normal routine.
●Children have a sweet tooth towards sweets and that is always the main reason for weight gain in youngsters, maybe pastries, Cakes and chocolates, fizzy drinks, shakes.
We are the creatures of our habits. it's in our nature and changing addictive habits like sugar or oily food are not easy to go.
When a person weighs more than 20%of the normal weight, keeping in view, his or her height, then he or she is considered as obese.
●It also depends upon genetic factors.
the probability of developing health problems increases, if a person in your family suffers from it.
Obesity brings a lot of health issues with it.
Let's discuss a few, but it's not very hard and fast. Not every obese person may have these problems, but the chances become more to be grabbed.
Risk factors with Obesity
Have a look at some health problems that are linked to obese or obese individuals.
1. Heart disease
Fat, in excess, make an individual prone to high blood pressure and increased level of cholesterol.
Both these conditions are leading reasons behind the incidence of different kinds of heart issues or stroke.
Luckily, even losing a little quantity of fat can reduce the probability of becoming affected by heart issues or a stroke.
It is possible to reduce the chances of heart problems simply by losing around 10 percent of your weight.
2. Type 2 Diabetes
The vast majority of individuals who suffer from Type 2 diabetes suffer from obesity. You can take various actions to decrease the chances of becoming affected by Type 2 diabetes, Including,
• By dropping weight
• Using a balanced diet
• Exercising frequently
• Sleeping sufficiently
If you currently have Type 2 Diabetes, then you are able to control the degree of blood glucose by remaining active physically and by losing weight down too.
More physically active means that you simply need less medicine to control your diabetes.
3. Gallbladder Disease
When a person is obese, then the chances of obtaining a gall bladder stones and infections are higher.
you will be less likely to have gallstones if you eliminate weight about 1 or 2 kilograms each week.
Unexpectedly, the fat loss itself, particularly speedy weight reduction or reduction excess weight, can make you prone to becoming affected by gallstones. So never try a crash diet.
Lower your weight by adopting a healthy lifestyle gradually.
4. Cancer
It is quite shocking to understand that different kinds of cancers which are linked with body components like colon, breast, kidney, endometrium, and stomach are linked to obesity.
A couple of examinations and studies have found connections among cancers of the gallbladder, ovaries, pancreas, with obesity issue.
5. Osteoarthritis
On account of the excess weight, additional pressure is put on the joints, which hurts the cartilage.
You may lower the strain in your lower back, knees, and buttocks simply by choosing fat reduction, which might also enhance your osteoarthritis condition.
6. Gout
The joints of a person can be influenced by obesity. This happens whenever there's an extra uric acid within the bloodstream, which converts into crystal form which gets stored at the joints.
You will be amazed to know that gout affects obese people more in comparison to healthy men and women.
the chances of getting gout increase if someone is overweight. But you have to seek advice from your physician in the event that you currently have gout and intending to eliminate weight.
7. Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a breathing problem that develops snoring difficulty in breathing when sleeping.
sleep apnea has been correlated with obesity issue.
Sleep apnea is often the cause of daytime drowsiness and raises the probability of stroke or cardiovascular issues. But, it's been seen the proper weight loss improves sleep apnea considerably.
For females – when the waist circumference of is 88 cm and also for
males – when the waist circumference of is 102 cm, then it usually means that the chance of cardiovascular and metabolic complications of obesity is on the higher side.

Weighing Quotes
With financial markets more optimistic that the economy is expanding nicely, mortgage rates had nowhere to go but up this week. Then, as a result of the GDP figures released today (Thursday), the market began weighing which part of GDP it feels is most dominant, growth or inflation. - Amy Crews Cutts
While the equity market and accounting issues and corporate scandals are weighing on the economy, it is still fundamentally sound. The recovery process hasn't been derailed. We still think the economy is going to grow at about a 3.5-percent pace in the second half -- fast enough to keep the Fed from easing, but not fast enough to cause them to tighten this year. - Gerald Cohen
We've got three things weighing on the market here: a less-than-stellar start to earnings so far, the geopolitical situation with Iran that's sort of moving to the front burner, and we've got energy futures up pretty strong this morning. So all three create a situation where investors are willing to take some profits after the fairly strong opening so far this year. - Jon Brorson

You don't take small corners at four, you take Pro Bowl pass rushers there! If you like Ward, you move down, collect another second rounder, and get him at eight. I knew several top corners would drop out of the first, & they did. Who would you prefer? Sam Darnold, Bradley Chubb, Josh Jackson, Darius Guice, & Brian O'Neill, or the guys we're stuck with?! If you HAVE to take a guard, & we didn't, wouldn't you rather have a beast, like Hernandez or OC/OG Daniels? OG Austin Corbett was the BPA at 33-really?!

LONDON (REUTERS) - Britain's Prince Harry and his US fiancee Meghan Markle have chosen George and Charlotte, the children of the royal's elder brother Prince William, to be among the bridesmaids and page boys for their wedding, his office said on Wednesday (May 16).
Also selected for the much-anticipated event at Windsor Castle on Saturday (May 19) are the couple's goddaughters and godson, and the children of one of her best friends.
Prince Harry's office said last week that all the bridesmaids would be children and that Ms Markle had decided not to have a maid of honour because she could not choose between her friends.
Princess Charlotte, 3, will be joined as a bridesmaid by Florence van Cutsem, 3, and Zalie Warren, 2, Harry's goddaughters; Remi and Rylan Litt, 6 and 7, who are Markle's goddaughters; and Ivy Mulroney, the 4-year-old daughter of her friend Jessica Mulroney.
Ms Mulroney's sons Brian and John Mulroney, both 7, will also join Prince George as a page boy along with Prince Harry's godson Jasper Dyer, 6.
While George, 4, and Charlotte will have roles in the ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor, their younger brother Prince Louis, who was born last month, will not be attending, Kensington Palace has confirmed.
George and Charlotte also acted as page boy and flower girl at last year's wedding of Pippa Middleton, sister of his mother Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, to financier James Matthews.
Bridesmaid Florence van Cutsem also provides a link to Prince William and the Duchess' own wedding. Van Cutsem's cousin Grace, Prince William's goddaughter, was a bridesmaid at their ceremony in 2011.

I've been wracking my brain lately trying to come up with interesting origins and powers for a new Super-Heroine character that I want to submit to this contest.
So far, I think I have three ideas/concepts that can be polished up to turn in. I've really been trying to think about what kinds of women I want to see as Super-Heroes but since this contest also revolves around a popularity contest, I've also been thinking about what kind of Super-Woman the populace at large wants to see….that's a strange tightrope to balance.
And just when I was getting a bit too serious about the whole affair and perhaps overthinking it, I come across this bulletin from one of my MySpace friends (And yes, the people I have listed as friends are actually my friends, thank you very much!) that made me laugh out loud….
The following post was written by James Murray and since it was a bulletin and not a blog entry (and therefore will be deleted in ten days by Rupert Murdoch), I'm reposting it here in its entirety.

10 super-powers that would actually be useful.
when it comes down to it, most of the superpowers you see in comic books and movies aren't the sorts of abilities you'd want to have yourself. while on the surface it might seem kick-ass to possess retractable metal claws or brain-shattering psionic abilities, powers like these tend to place a person on government watch lists or morally obligate them to fight crime. plus, they can result in pesky accidents like stabbing your loved ones or having your body taken over by an alien lifeform. here are some mutant abilities that might actually prove useful in your daily life without some of the more apocalyptic side effects:
1. ultra liver function. with this power, you'll be able to metabolize alcohol and clean your blood at 10 times the rate of a normal human being. you can slide tequila shot after jager shot down your throat without any concern that it might come back up in the morning, and move from power hours to power centuries with no hangovers or late-night trips to the ER. this power does, however, come with one drawback: it costs a hell of a lot money to get drunk.
2. the human condom. this power grants you the inability to contract, carry, or transmit any sexually transmitted infection, from genital warts to HIV. Although you'll still require contraception, you can engage in sexual encounters relatively worry and health insurance-free. Plus, you'll still be able to catch non-sexually transmitted ailments and enjoy the occasional guilt-free sick day.
3. wifi brain. plenty of people have wifi phones, but the wifi brain allows you to access the Internet instantly and discreetly. this is the perfect power for pub trivia, winning bets, and getting through boring meetings. the trick to this power is keeping it a secret – otherwise, your friends will constantly be asking you to check their myspace…or worse, mapquest…let's just hope they don't ask you to print directions.
4. gaydar. to prevent embarrassing social situations and avoid lengthy, unrequited crushes on persons of the wrong sexual orientation, gaydar would let you know the exact kinsey number of every individual in a quarter mile radius. an added bonus to this power would tell you whether a particular love-target has a significant other, and how likely they are to hook up with you.
5. polymorph clothing. if your clubbing clothes are out of date, you need to go to a formal dinner right after a work meeting, or you just need an awesome halloween costume, simply morph your clothing into the perfect outfit for the occasion. incidentally, if you happen to be one of those crime-fighting superheros, this is a much better way to hide your secret identity than wearing your spandex under your suit.
6. auto-response. the cure to the ever so annoying question "what are you thinking about?" this question is famous for being popped during the cuddle period after a session of hot monkey sex. we never say the right thing, but with auto-response, you're sure to deliver a rapid and sufficient answer that will fail to leave your partner offended, disappointed, or encouraged to continue talking. if anything, they will be completely satisfied with your response, and will go to sleep. furthermore, auto-response ranks at a very high 99.9% accuracy to 'yes or no' questions.
7. humor ESP. you've got a great joke involving st. peter, a stripper, and a tricycle, but you're not sure how it will go over with your boyfriend/girlfriends parents, whom you've only met once but get the feeling doesn't really like you. your humor ESP will let you know whether the joke will end in laughs or a theological debate. this peculiar psychic ability also comes in handy when you want to come up with the exact line to scare off that buffalo butt at the bar who just won't leave you alone.
8. mute button. silence crying babies, annoying street performers, crazy bums with megaphones, and cell phones that play "Fergalicious" by rendering them temporarily mute. tragically, this power would only work in person, meaning that morning talk show hosts, cable news pundits, and televangelists must still be silenced through conventional technological methods.
9. spam-off. this super-power would work as a huge remedy to the recent hurricane of spam-mail we have all been receiving in our inbox. just think, no more messages from brook and jessica about how you missed their web-cam show. more importantly, this filter is not limited to the world wide web, but also works in person. the next time your crazy roommate or co-worker goes on an ear-bleeding rant about god knows what, you can simply turn your spam-filter on, and your favorite shiny toy guns song emits from their mouth instead.
10. unlimited save/restores – just think – you get drunk and impregnate someone. whoops! restore to last night, and it never happened. same goes for driving at high speeds, reliving your favorite moments, or doing your whole life over again from the beginning, just to see how the whole causality thing works. you would be eternal, and you could restore and meet each and every one of the 6 billion people on the planet. you could also pick up that hot girl at the bar through trial and error – just like in Groundhog Day!
I'd definitely sign up for #2, 3, 4, 5, & 8. Funny, funny stuff. If you enjoyed this as much as I did, be sure to check out Mr. Murray's FanClub for more thoughtful, incisive articles in a similar sardonic vein. Many people kvetch, it's true. Not many know how to make it attractive.
Thanks for letting me post your writing, James!

The choir has toured extensively both in the UK and abroad and in December 2015, in its short break between the end of term and the Christmas rehearsals and services, Wells Cathedral Choir embarked on a tour to The Netherlands.
After a successful trip in 2010, the Choir was invited to return to The Hague to sing, once again, in three Christmas concerts with the Orchestra of Koninklijk Conservatorium (Royal Conservatoire of The Hague). Dutch Government Ministers and CEOs from all over mainland Europe attended the third of the three concerts, which are all sponsored by Siemens. They took place in the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), which was built in 1649.
Photo Credit: Jacinth Latta. Wells Cathedral Choir Tour of The Netherlands, in rehearsal.
The music included John Rutter's Magnificat, and various traditional Christmas Carols alongside some newer Christmas pieces. There was also an English-themed orchestral medley, which included everything from the James Bond theme to Elgar's Land of Hope and Glory. The concert was recorded for Dutch TV and will be broadcast on Christmas Day. In 2014 it was the most-watched programme on the channel in the whole year.
Siemens (The Netherlands) very generously sponsored the entire tour, and arranged a social programme in between rehearsals, which included trips for the choristers, and a visit to the Mauritshuis Museum for the adults (the home to many Dutch Masters, including The Girl with the Pearl Earring).
Head Girl Chorister, Astrid, said, "The choir tour to The Hague was amazing. We did some really fun activities such as going to Madurodam, a model city, and having a walking tour. The concerts were really enjoyable and it was fabulous to sing with the orchestra. We made some really good friends along the way."
Wells Cathedral Choir, Wells Cathedral School, and the Conservatoire in The Hague have built a friendly link, which included a visit, by the Orchestra, to Wells in March 2013. The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, provides higher education in music and dance. King William I founded it in 1826, making it the oldest conservatoire in the Netherlands.
In 2012 undertook an exciting tour to Hong Kong and Beijing.
Recent tours have taken place to Paris (2006) where it gave three concerts and sang Mass to over 3000 people in Notre-Dame Cathedral, the North West of England (2008), Germany (2009), the Netherlands (December 2010) at the invitation of the Royal Conservatory of The Hague (Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, officially sponsored by Siemens Nederland) and Inverness (July 2011).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
These FAQs are designed to provide a better understanding of the WiKI-SCAN™ and answer commonly asked questions.
1. Is the WiKi-SCAN limited to only inspecting specific standards?
No, the WiKi-SCAN™ can inspect any standard, for example AWS D1.1, ASME, etc. Tolerance limits can be manually set for any code being inspected.
2. What type of joints can the WiKi-SCAN inspect?
T-Joint, Butt Joint and Lap Joint.
3. What type of welds can the system inspect?
Filet Weld, Groove Weld and Lap Weld.
4. What is the smallest defect that can be detected?
0.2 mm (HR) 0.5 mm (Standard) 1mm (L).
5. What is the maximum inspection speed?
The inspection speed depends on the actual spacing between each scan that you need. As a general reference, a defect of 1 mm in length can be detected at a speed of 1 m/min, with or without the encoder.
6. How many scans can I save on the WiKi-SCAN?
The on-board memory can safely hold around 4000 scans depending on if they include images, video and/or audio comments.
7. What happens if the WiKi-SCAN battery goes dead?
All scans and joint info are automatically saved, so in the event of a dead battery, there is no loss of information. The system also features a "Hot Swap" feature that allows for a quick change of batteries without the need to shut down the system.
8. Can one measure non-weld features?
Yes, the manual measurement software allows a user to measure non-weld features from the 3D profile and the 2D picture.
9. How long of a weld can one inspect?
The dynamic scan mode records and categorizes up to 100 weld discontinuities down the length of a weld. The maximum length of a weld that can be scanned at one time is dependent on quality of the weld and rigidity of the tolerance limits.
10. Does the WiKi-SCAN inspect the weld surface or the inside of a weld?
The WiKi-SCAN™ only does weld surface geometry measurements and inspections.
11. Are all inspections and measurements automatically saved?
Yes, all inspections are automatically saved and can be transferred via USB or Wi-Fi.
12. Does one have to transfer the result to a PC in order to see them?
No, the results are available for viewing directly on the WiKi-SCAN™ screen.
13. Is the WiKi-SCAN pre-calibrated?
Yes, the WiKi-SCAN™ is pre-calibrated at SERVO-ROBOT and can be validated using the verification block that comes with every system. The frequency of the verification procedure is dependent on the user quality assurance plan.
14. How does one identify a weld so it can be found later and related to a specific location on the part?
Each scan can be tagged with a date and time stamp, the name of the inspector, the part serial number, weld number, and individual scan number. There is also a picture taken with each scan that can help an inspector locate the scan location.
15. Can someone make undesired changes to the set tolerance limits?
The WiKi-SCAN™ comes with password protection that blocks out the ability to change any tolerance limits or system information.
16. Is the WiKi-SCAN laser safe?
Yes, the laser class is 2M. The eyes' natural blink reflex is good enough to protect the eyes from this laser class. However, users should not look directly into the laser for extended periods of time or utilize optics that could concentrate the beam into the eyes.
17. Is it safe to use the WiKi-SCAN in hot environments?
Yes, the WiKi-SCAN™ is rated for ambient temperatures up to 110 F / 43.3 C. When the WiKi-SCAN™ is used without the encoder wheel, it does not come in contact with the inspection surface, and therefore is not subjected to extreme temperatures of the weld. However when the encoder is being used, the highest surface temperature allowable is 440 F / 230 C. This gives inspectors a safe way to inspect welds that are still red hot.
18. How durable is the WiKi-SCAN?
The WiKi-SCAN™ is extremely durable and has passed military grade drop tests. It comes with a protective rubber covering and features replaceable screen protectors.
19. Does the WiKi-SCAN require any additional computer software?
No, each inspection report can be transferred and saved as a custom Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. A free Excel viewer software is available from Microsoft. Although it is not required, additional computer software is available to allow a user to add or change system features from a computer and load it into the WiKi-SCAN™.
20. How do I receive system updates for my WiKi-SCAN?
Contact your local SERVO-ROBOT sales representative. Upon request, the latest software can be made available via FTP site or sent through the mail on a USB.
21. Can the WiKi-SCAN be mounted on a robot?
Yes, please contact a SERVO-ROBOT representative and ask about the WiKi-ROBO™.
22. How do I set the percentage (%) over welding?
Percentage (%) over welding is based on the minimum tolerance of the left and right leg size. The minimum tolerance must be correctly set for the specific joint being scanned to obtain accurate results.
23. What is the difference between leg size and leg length?
Leg length is the distance from the theoretical root to the weld toe. Leg size is the amount of leg that contributes to strength. These differences are most apparent in concave welds.
24. How long does the battery last?
The WiKi-SCAN™ comes with 2 batteries and they last about 2 hours each with heavy use.
25. Can I remove the encoder for tight fitting areas?
Yes, the WiKi-SCAN™ encoder can be removed if needed and used without.
26. Can the encoder be retrofitted?
Yes, it is possible to add the encoder after having purchased the system.
27. Can I purchase a non-standard joints package after receiving a WiKi-SCAN with only the basic joint package?
Yes. Additional packages can be purchased later and can be installed on the WiKi-SCAN™ via the USB interface.
28. Why didn't my WiKi-SCAN recognize the software package update?
The WiKi-SCAN™ update package must be located directly on the root level of a USB drive; it cannot be located in a folder.
29. For inspection reports, is there a maximum number of input characters?
Yes, the maximum characters for task name is 100, for user ID is 12 and for Part ID/WeldID/Acquisition ID is 16. There is no limit for comments.
30. Does the WiKi-SCAN connect to Wi-Fi?
Yes, with the correct router name and password, the WiKi-SCAN™ can connect wirelessly to a computer network for remote monitoring and file transfers.
