This will probably piss some of you off but I'll ask it anyway...
Are all the people who hate this video a typical white person?
I haven't watched it with sound (I don't have headphones right now) so I'm sure that makes some difference but it looks fucking amazing. Loved the part with X-Rodriguez and Ceddy at 54. Funny and creepy at the same time.
And overall I agree with this
video is cool, too bad the song is generic
why would i be typically white, because i realize the video is a parody, and it's intentionally bad? it's shot great, but the concept is poking fun at music videos in general. it's not meant to be taken seriously.
"Typically White" = only or mostly interested in generic American"fast-food culture".
I'm not sure the video entirely qualifies as parody and I don't believe its "intentionally bad". I think the juxtaposition of the random scenes in an Mexican town, profiles of average citizens, and the usage of Brechtian theatre techniques was well manifested within the context of a music video.
As for what I'm talking about when I refer to Bertolt Brecht, forgive me for the fact that I'm cut & pasting from wikipedia.
Along with his contemporary Erwin Piscator, Brecht created an influential theory of theatre�the epic theatre�that proposed that a play should not cause the spectator to identify emotionally with the characters or action before him or her, but should instead provoke rational self-reflection and a critical view of the action on the stage. Brecht thought that the experience of a climactic catharsis of emotion left an audience complacent. Instead, he wanted his audiences to adopt a critical perspective in order to recognise social injustice and exploitation and to be moved to go forth from the theatre and effect change in the world outside. For this purpose, Brecht employed the use of techniques that remind the spectator that the play is a representation of reality and not reality itself. By highlighting the constructed nature of the theatrical event, Brecht hoped to communicate that the audience's reality was equally constructed and, as such, was changeable.
One of Brecht's most important principles was what he called the Verfremdungseffekt (translated as "defamiliarization effect," "distancing effect," or "estrangement effect," and often mistranslated as "alienation effect").[61] This involved, Brecht wrote, "stripping the event of its self-evident, familiar, obvious quality and creating a sense of astonishment and curiosity about them."[62] To this end, Brecht employed techniques such as the actor's direct address to the audience, harsh and bright stage lighting, the use of songs to interrupt the action, explanatory placards, and, in rehearsals, the transposition of text to the third person or past tense, and speaking the stage directions out loud.[63]
People who studies other peoples ideas are weak minded and cant figure things out for themselves. Putting titles to what is basically the human conscience and condition is a waste of the very thoughts themselves.
Studying someone elses thoughts and conveyances is just being a fanboy of someone who thought of something you agree with. Its just as meritable as saying "my friend had a philosophy to give everyone everything they wanted and the world would be perfect." Pretty solid philosophical idea, but what weight does it carry.
The fact that this Brecht character wanted to translate that isnt impressive, it is something anyone with half a heart and willingness to create wants to do. Any artist will tell you basically that their art is an expression of something they were feeling or thinking about. It is going to try to be conveyed in the most profound (whether direct or indirect) enticing, and intriguing form it can be, to the artists intentions of course. But thats commonplace for anyone trying to share their message of good being.
That doesnt cover this.
This video is straight up not a good music video. Dropping all terms and definitions. This is a series of steadily shot scenes, with a stationary tv that has a shitty loop of ceds dumb face singing and maybe some shots of the band, maybe. Things are happening in each shot, but who wants to see the daily bussle of Mexico City in any location, really. Its just people walking around, sitting even, boring shit. Regardless of what is happening. This video offers nothing.
It is an insult to the fans, we just sat here and watched people sitting there, watching us watch them watch.
die in a fire...please?

the video's a cool idea and worked, im down with it.

The means absolutely nothing. How do you expect anyone to be good at anything if he or she does not analyze the works of others? Imagine writing a novel having never read a book. Now imagine writing a song never having heard one. What a silly, silly idea.

Capturing Traditional Knowledge on Weather and Climate
Two officers from the Climate Division took part in a two-week trip to Tanna to collect and verify traditional indicators on weather and climate for VMGD's Traditional Knowledge (TK) Project. The TK project aims to preserve traditional seasonal forecasting, and encourage communities to use traditional knowledge and contemporary forecasting in order to increase community resilience to extreme events.
The officers began their trip on the Southeast side of the island at Enumakel village before travelling counter-clockwise around Tanna stopping to meet with 12 communities.
Surveys were provided to the communities to collect indicators such as local animal behavior, plant behavior, and conditions of weather and climate. After information collection, there is a monitoring and verification phase that allows for the identification of traditional indicators that will be integrated within conventional seasonal forecasts and shared back to the communities at Tanna.
Being highly exposed to risks of extreme events, local communities in Vanuatu have developed their own predictions of weather and climate variables. According to traditional forecasting, a plant flowering earlier in the season can indicate a prolonged dry period ahead and similarly the presence of flying cockroaches can indicate approaching rain.
TK collection sites have also included Ureparapara, Pentecost, Ambae and Malekula since the project began in July 2016.
The project is managed by Vanuatu Meteorological and Geo-Hazard Department (VMGD) in partnership with the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac), Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), Vanuatu Cultural Center and Red Cross.
For more information about the TK project, please contact VMGD – Climate Division or call 22068

it proved to be only 60% of a weekender, but what we were left with was pretty special. Thanks to everybody that joined us on Friday and Saturday, not least Rod Picott, Boss Caine, M&J Blues, Andy P. Davison, Franc Cinelli, The Fargo Railroad Co. and The Lucky Strikes for the exceptional entertainment.
Sadly the weather put paid to Sunday's two gigs at The Greystones, and left us hanging on 298 WagonWheel Presents… shows promoted. But we'll be back for more very soon. Next will likely be Monday May 14th when we welcome Kirsty McGee & Quiet Loner. Keep an eye on the Gigs page for details of this and more new shows we'll be adding over the next few weeks.

That's right, I love cooking and baking. Food just tastes so much better when you make it from scratch. (Not that I'm opposed to things like eating out occasionally and those fudge covered mint creme oreos.) I love trying new recipes too.
My sister recently found an absolutely delectable recipe online. It's so easy. Take two slices of pound cake. Butter one side of each. Take a square of your favorite chocolate (I can recommend the 50% Dark Lindt). You'll want a griddle/frying pan on medium heat. Put one piece of cake butter-side down. Chocolate next. Then the other piece of cake, butter-side up. Cook like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. Serve with fresh fruit and whipped cream. (Or, if you just happen to be all out of strawberries--so missing June--just whip out the Redi-whip and give it a squirt or two.)
I should warn you--this is addicting. Especially once you start trying different chocolates and pound cakes. Yum on soo many levels!
But then I got to thinking...how much better would homemade pound cake taste. So off I went searching for a great recipe--I found this one on Allrecipes to try. Total hit, oh yeah. The main tip is to have your butter, cream cheese and eggs at room temperature. This recipe is easy and tastes great. In fact, after making this yesterday this is all that remains:
|That was once a bundt pan size cake. In fairness, we do have five adults here, four of which are chocolate lovers.
I also wandered over to the garage sale/fundraiser for some of our junior high kids and found me an almost-full bolt of Waverly fabric. It's green, striped, kind of twill type, and best of all, only cost $5. I think Stars is about to get some new bedding for his spot under my sewing table. :)

It was a nice sunny October. Pyrros and me were enjoying our time on Lefkada island after the hard summer work. And yes, we were amazed how island was so green compering to other Ionian islands.
But this is not story about Lefkada, I am gonna write about the island some other time. This is a short story about forgotten fortress of Grivas.
We parked on the side and started to climb up the hill until we reached the entrance of the fort. There was no information or anything to say more about the fort so we were guessing: "For sure it was Turkish" Pyrros said.
We entered the castle and it was so abandoned. I could not believe that Ministry of Culture and Monuments or who else couldn't pay men to just cut the grass in side and out side, if country does not have money to do more. Lazy Greeks!
We came up to the Western wall. From there we could see a very clear views of the causeway to Lefkada and the castle of Santa Maura, towards city of Prevesa in the north, and southwest - fortifications of Nea Plagia that we visited straight after.
The gateway was on the east.
View towards Santa Maura
We were sitting on the fortress wall few minutes, enjoying the fascinating view and decided to visit the other castle in Plagia village.
Few days ago I found an info about Grivas castle on some web site and according to that it says:
"It was built by Ali Pasha. However it has been suggested that a monastery stood on the site, and the bases of some of the towers seem to be of an older (circular) construction of rough rubble, so perhaps there was an older fortification here. A fortification is shown on a map of 1830[24]. I assume from the name that the Grivas family, prominent in the area in the 18/19th centuries, have a connection with the castle. The W. and N. sides of the castle are protected by water; the gate can only be approached from the N., with the castle wall on your right (unshielded) side, and with the possibilities of support from other troops limited by the surrounding water."
Lake side
Eastern Wall and entrance
We left this fort and took the southwest road to Plagia village. On a 500m at the same road up to the village I made this last photo.
And yes, we arrived in Athens on time.. ;)

Bruizer made series of films about UK food production for Morrisons, following the journeys of beef, fish, bread and poultry from the farm or sea to the store. We tailored different edits of each film for a particular curriculum age group. The films were hosted on the Academy of Food website alongside lesson plans and printed learning resources. This compelling, live action film shows the fisherman at work while his own voice describes what he's doing.

Over the last few years we have worked on a broad spectrum of projects. Below you can find case studies of some of our favourite work.
Crack Magazine was approached by Nike to work on a press campaign for Nike ACG, an outdoors-focused clothing line from the sportswear icons. We were delighted to see the project develop into a wider partnership, encompassing an integrated art feature and a short film.
Across five-years working with our sister company Crack Magazine we have generated work that has spanned the full creative spectrum, in a journey that has seen the magazine evolve from a bedroom hobby to a market leading European platform.
Over the last couple of years we have worked with Universal Music subsidiary PMR on a number of campaigns for breakthrough artists, including Julio Bashmore, Shanti Celeste, Funkineven, Dornik and Jaevon.
We stripped this underachieving pub back to its historical core before restoring every part of the business under its new name. From brand to bar to menu to music, our continued involvement has made The Christmas Steps a bustling city centre hotspot.

Body Shame effects all types of women. It is often publicly acknowledged that overweight women are targeted. But it's ladies of all body shapes that are critiqued by fellow girls about their weight, what they are wearing and how they condone themselves.
I have always been a tall and thin girl. According to the BMI index, I'm considered underweight. But I am not, I am healthy, I eat very well and have become very comfortable in my skin.
It hasn't alway been like this though, and I know that many of you will be thinking 'oh poor you, you've been thin all your life'. But it's not that cut and dry. Being thinner, and having a stint working as a model, girls have never hesitated to share their negative thoughts regarding my weight, which is stemmed from jealousy and societies idea of what is 'beautiful' and 'womanly'.
As a way of feeling better about ourselves, the front pages of magazines tell us that we need to judge others. "They are too thin, too fat, a mess, yo-yo dieter" etc. We need to stop the body shame amongst women and learn to feel good about oneself without the need to put down those around you.

Something Great by M. Clarke
* This is a New Adult romance novel recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content and mature subject matter.Synopsis:
She didn't know what she was missing…until he found her.
Maxwell Knight was positively trouble, dangerously good-looking, and seductively charming. He was everything Jeanella didn't need in her life. Only Maxwell didn't see it that way. His pursuit was relentless, making her even more determined to push him away.
Fresh out of college, life was simple and plain for Jeanella Mefferd. Every part of her life was smooth sailing; her friends, her job, and even the guy she'd started dating. Then one night, while at dinner, she spotted someone who made her feel things she'd never felt before—dangerous, heart pounding and breathless heat. Thinking she would never see him again, she brushed it off, but when she started to run into him unexpectedly, all she could think of was how he made her feel with his sweet flirtations. Everything about Maxwell Knight screamed trouble, especially when she found out he was her new boss's son. Now, heading to a New York fashion show, would she be able to focus on her career instead of Maxwell, who had been scheduled to attend with her? As much as she tried to forget their encounters, his good looks, smooth words and determination to win her over gravitated her toward him. The next thing she knew, her mind was utterly consumed by him. Would she be willing to ignore all the dangerous signs and jump into his arms? Or would she miss out on the chance of finding something great?

Fire in the Darkness (Darkness Series #2)
It's been four weeks since Ember Brycin witnessed what her powers are capable of. The Electrical Current Storm has turned Seattle, Washington into a natural disaster zone. The death toll is in the thousands with countless others homeless and hungry.
And Ember is the one who caused it. Something she will have to live with every day.
Those people who were unable to escape either turned quickly into gangs or live in shelters. Ember, on the other hand, can't do either. With a price on her head and a Dark Dweller on her ass, she is constantly on the move. Both Light and Dark are hunting her for their own purpose to use her as a weapon or a pawn in the war between the Unseelie King of the Dark and the Seelie Queen of the Light.
Em needs help but doesn't know who to trust: Lars, the mystery man Torin told her to find? Torin, the Seelie Queen's personal knight, who has sworn to keep Em safe? Or Eli, who wants to turn her over to the Unseelie King, but whom she has an undeniable, intense connection with?
No matter what she chooses she will probably lose—her life or everything and everyone she loves.

Hair, the most malleable part of the human body, lends itself to the most varied forms of impermanent modifications. The resulting hairstyles convey social practices and norms, and may be regarded as part of the "representation of self" and an integral element in the maintenance and structuring of society. In this thesis, a systematic and quantative investigation has been undertaken of the structural relationships between variations in hairstyles and principal changes in social organisation in ancient Egypt from the Protodynastic to the end of the Old Kingdom (3,350-2,181 BC), a period that witnessed the rise, consolidation and eventually breakdown of centralised authority. The results reveal that hairstyles were linked to the identity of individuals and social groups, such as men, women, children and the elderly. Hairstyles were used as a means of displaying status. After experimentation with a broad spectrum of hairstyles during the Protodynastic and early Dynasty I, an institutionalised canon for hairstyles was established, coinciding with the creation of administrative institutions. These codified hairstyles continued to serve as the norms for identifying members of the administration or signs of authority. By the end of the Old Kingdom, the hairstyles of the elite had been adopted by the lower officials of the increased bureaucracy and provincial elites as representations of their newly acquired power and status. Although initially the majority of the men had their hair cut short, modifications of short hair and the adoption of mid- and shoulder-length hair became progressively common. The use of certain hairstyles was restricted to the higher social offices, with longer hair being emblematic of power and divinity. Women, by contrast, initially had long hair with greater variety occurring by Dynasty I and a more restricted array from Dynasty II onwards. However, long hair was predominant among women of all social statuses in all periods. Long hair may have thus been related to the perception of women as mothers (responsible for childbirth and nursing), and hence their perceived role as directly linked with procreation and fecundity. Although the adoption of the tripartite by high officials was related to this 'generative' aspect of feminine hairstyles, it was primarily in imitation of the God Osiris and his regenerative powers.

Learn how to identify an alcoholic if you suspect a loved one is abusing alcohol
Do you think your loved one may be an alcoholic? Does he seem to be drinking more than usual and starting to behave differently? The continuous seeking out and use of alcohol, regardless of negative consequences is the definition of alcohol abuse. There are specific signs and symptoms that reveal how to identify an alcoholic, such as:
- Alcoholics usually have a smell of liquor on their breath, and have slurred speech and an uneasy gait to their walk. They may exhibit poor balance, stumbling and delayed reflexes.
- Sometimes an alcoholic's face will become red.
- Alcoholics can have blackouts and will not remember things that occurred during the blackout. They can also lose consciousness.
- Alcoholics will spend a lot of their time drinking and recovering. They may begin to withdraw from family and friends to go drink – often alone or with their drinking buddies.
- The effects of alcohol can cause the addict to become neglectful of his duties and responsibilities. He may begin to exhibit poor performance and attendance at work and lose his job, which can result in financial loss.
- Some alcoholics will borrow or steal money to buy alcohol. Some may commit crimes to get money for alcohol and can become incarcerated.
- There may be a marked change in the alcoholic's personality, and he may have angry or violent outbursts. He can also become abusive and dangerous to himself and others.
- Family problems may arise because of alcohol addiction that can result in estrangement, legal separation and divorce.
Alcohol addiction can cause devastating effects in the drinker's brain and body, affecting his mental and physical well-being. Once the alcoholic builds up a tolerance to alcohol, he will have to drink more to get the same effects that he did before tolerance. You may notice a significant increase in your loved one's intake of alcohol, and he may also get hangovers the next day. Alcoholism symptoms vary and can include:
- Liver disease can develop, and the liver can be scarred and damaged from excessive alcohol intake. These diseases include fatty liver disease, fibrosis, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver.
- An alcoholic can also develop nerve damage, also known as alcoholic neuropathy, which can cause multiple problems including: incontinence, muscle weakness, erectile dysfunction, and numbness in the extremities.
- Over time, alcohol will affect the pancreas causing pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the blood vessels in the pancreas that inhibits proper digestion.
- Excessive drinking can begin to shrink the brain of the alcoholic and cause dementia. The alcoholic may begin to experience memory loss, and the executive functions of the brain which involve decision-making abilities can be impaired. The alcoholic may have difficulty concentrating, thinking clearly, and performing tasks. These problems can cause dangerous accidents to occur.
- The heart can also be affected by excessive drinking. Cardiovascular disease can include blood clots, heart attacks, stroke, cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation.
Other alcoholism symptoms can include a weakened immune system, depression, damage to brain neurotransmission, pneumonia and tuberculosis. If you, or your loved one, have an alcohol addiction you will need to get professional help to safely detox at a drug treatment center.
Withdrawal symptoms from alcohol addiction can cause life-threatening complications and the alcoholic should never stop drinking cold-turkey. The safest place to detox from alcohol is in an alcohol treatment facility where you will receive a medically supervised detox to control withdrawal symptoms while you go through the process. Some alcohol symptoms of withdrawal are:
- Convulsions, tremors
- Depression, hallucinations, anxiety, agitation
- Sweating, nausea, vomiting
- Seizures, delirium tremons
Medications are available to help assist the patient through the difficult withdrawal process. Once the patient completes detox, he should begin a series of psychological and behavioral counseling therapies, and relapse prevention strategies to help him heal and remain sober in the future. After the recovering alcoholic has left the rehab center, he should continue with counseling sessions and support group meetings to help him stay on course, and begin to build a new and better life for himself.
If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, please do not hesitate to call Better Addiction Care today at 1.800.429.7690 for help with your search. We will answer any and all of your questions and assist you in finding the best rehab for your family's needs.

Toronto based e-Radio-Inc. and CBC Radio announced last week they have successfully tested a new technology which uses the FM airwaves to control household appliances at energy-saving times of the day.
The e-Radio technology works by embedding a computer chip inside an appliance turning it into a "smart appliance".
The value of a smart appliance is that it can be programmed to start on its own when electricity rates are at their lowest. For example, a homeowner could load his or her dishwasher, washing machine or clothes dryer at 6:00pm, which is peak demand time and walk away.
Later in the evening, when electricity rates are lower, a signal would be broadcast from an FM radio station, in this case the CBC, which alerts the appliances that it is now time to turn on.
CBC/Radio-Canada's FM signals are ideal in Canada since they reach close to 99% of the Canadian population. The company's say the added information has no effect on the quality of the radio signal.
"This is an innovative way for CBC/Radio-Canada to maximize the use of its radio infrastructure for the benefit of both Canadian consumers and the environment, without affecting the quality our radio service," said Michel Tremblay, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Strategy & Business Partnerships. " We're proud to help pioneer this new made-in-Canada innovation."

Emoji Added to the Dictionary, Lenovo Cast Pucks Google, & More… [Tech News Digest]
WTF Emoji Clickbait, Lenovo Casts its line, Google Play age ratings, Facebook meets Harry Potter, a Humble Nindie Bundle for Nintendo fans, and the music video which finds your finger.
Merriam-Webster Embraces Clickbait
Merriam-Webster has added 1,700 new words and phrases to its Unabridged dictionary. Many of these are new words either influenced by, or directly related to, technology. Some of these words have actually been around for a long time, but their use has exploded in recent years. These include "net neutrality," "click fraud," "sharing economy," "emoji," "clickbait," "meme," "NSFW," and "WTF".
The concept of net neutrality What Is Net Neutrality & Why Should I Care? A significant number see Net Neutrality as essential to the survival of the Internet.

Read More has become mainstream thanks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) battling ISPs How the Web Won on Net Neutrality: 5 Key Moments It does looks like net neutrality will reign, at least for a while.

You'll likely either love or hate the fact that these words and phrases are becoming so accepted they're being included in dictionaries. However, languages are always evolving, and they do so purely because we change the words we use on a daily basis. If you don't like it, the only course of action open to you is to stop using the words you detest. Which would be totes amazeballs.
Lenovo Cast Competes With Chromecast

Lenovo has announced the Lenovo Cast [PDF link], a device capable of casting and streaming media content from one device to another. This is quite clearly meant as competition for the Google Chromecast 8 Creative Uses for Google's Chromecast We've come up with 8 unique uses for Google's Chromecast.

It doesn't help that the Lenovo Cast looks like a hockey puck. With no disrespect to hockey fans, a puck isn't exactly a design classic. Still, for $49 you get a plug-and-play casting device with a micro-USB port and micro-HDMI port, and support for Android, iOS, and Windows.
Google Adds Android App Age Ratings
Android apps are free, but you put up with ads.
iPhone apps are paid, and then you put up with ads for In-App Purchases.
— Ben Sandofsky (@sandofsky) May 20, 2015
Google is adding third-party age ratings to Android apps The Best Android Apps on the Google Play Store for 2019 Looking for the best Android apps for your phone or tablet? Here's our comprehensive list of the best apps for Android.

Control is being handed over to the International Age Rating Coalition, which includes the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the Pan European Game Information (Pegi), and The Australian Classification Board.
According to BBC News, ratings for apps sold through Google Play will differ depending on the end user's location, ensuring local laws and cultural sensitivities are respected. The ratings will be applied automatically based on a short questionnaire completed by developers.

Nintendo Fans Get Humble Bundle
Humble Bundles have long been a great way for PC gamers to nab themselves collections of independent video games on the cheap. However, the latest Humble Bundle, called the Humble Nindie Bundle, is aimed squarely at fans of Nintendo 12 Best Websites For Nintendo Fanboys Read More . And it's a veritable bargain.
The base bundle gets you Guacamelee for the Wii U, plus Woah Dave and Mighty Switch Force for the 3DS. Paying more than the average gets you The Fall on Wii U, and OlliOlli on both. While paying more than $10 gets you Stealth Inc. 2 for the Wii U, and SteamWorld Dig for both.
This Music Video Finds Your Finger
And finally, this is the music video for "Golden Touch" by Japanese pop singer Namie Amuro. The song itself is nothing special, being catchy but ultimately generic. However, the music video is rather interesting.
You're requested to keep your finger placed on the screen throughout, and doing so means the action all revolves around your pinky. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with touchscreens, as it just pauses the video instead. [H/T Reddit]
Your Views on Today's Tech News
How do you feel about words such as "clickbait," "emoji," and "photobomb" being added to the dictionary? Does the world need another streaming device like the Lenovo Cast? How long did you keep your finger on the "Golden Touch" music video?

It's not clear what causes most cases of liver cancer. But in some cases, the cause is known. For instance, chronic infection with certain hepatitis viruses can cause liver cancer.
Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer is a cancer which starts within the liver, and not from another organ which eventually migrates towards the liver. The prevalence of this cancer is due to the function the liver plays in our bodies. Because the largest gland in your entire body, your liver accounts for filtering and eliminating toxins, stockpiling vitamins and essential nutrients for energy, generating the necessary proteins for blood clotting, and producing bile for efficient digestion.
Many factors are likely involved in the development of cancer. Because the liver filters blood all parts of the body, cancer cells from elsewhere can lodge within the liver and start to grow. Cancers that come from the gut often spread towards the liver. The ability of the liver to regenerate can also be linked to the development of liver cancers.
This can be a substance that is made by a fungus and could be found in mouldy wheat, groundnuts, corn, nuts, soybeans and peanuts. For liver cancer risk to improve there needs to be long-term exposure. This is much more of a problem in some poor countries compared to industrialized nations.
A higher number of males get liver cancer compared to females. Some experts believe this isn't due to gender, but to lifestyle characteristics – typically, males tend to smoke and abuse alcohol greater than females.
Smoking increases the risk of liver cancer. Researchers estimate that nearly a quarter of liver cancers in the UK are caused by smoking. In smokers who also provide hepatitis C or hepatitis B virus infection the risk is increased further. Smokers who drink considerable amounts of alcohol may have a risk that's up to 10 times higher than people that do not smoke or drink.
Ababolic steroids
Used by athletes and weight lifters. These male hormones, if used regularly as well as for long enough can raise the risk of developing liver cancer, as well as some other cancers.
When liver cells are damaged and substituted for scar tissue. People with cirrhosis of the liver have a higher risk of developing liver cancer.
People with diabetes possess a higher risk of liver cancer than people who don't have diabetes. The higher risk may be due towards the higher levels of insulin in people with diabetes or because of liver damage caused by the diabetes. The risk might be increased more in people who've other risk factors such as liver cirrhosis, drinking alcohol in large amounts, and hepatitis infection.
Family history
People whose mother, father, brother, or sister with liver cancer possess a higher risk of developing it themselves, when compared with others.
Liver disease and inherited liver disease
People with hepatitis B or C possess a significantly higher risk of developing liver cancer, when compared with other healthy individuals. Hepatitis C is easily the most common cause of liver cancer in the USA. The Society mentions that some inherited liver diseases may also increase the risk of liver cancer.
Low immunity
People with weakened immune systems, for example those with HIV/AIDS have a risk of liver cancer that's five times greater than other healthy individuals.
Water wells with arsenic
People who depend on water wells that have arsenic may eventually have a significantly higher risk of developing several conditions or diseases, including liver cancer.
Obesity enhances the risk of developing many cancers, including liver cancer.

In the last decade I've learned that logic is not the right tool to evaluate (human) life with. Our knowledge of cause and effect does not render logic any authority for appraising life. Logic is just a tool for survival. Some specimens use talons to survive, some have whiskers, others have a brain. Probing the meaning of life with any one of these is legitimate. One is not a better tool of assessment than the other. Logic has as many shortcomings for judging life as do talons or whiskers.
One of those shortcomings is that logic uses premisses and those premisses are false for this particular task. Yet they are rarely examined when following a train of thought that leads to a desperate view on life.
Some of these premisses are: "What happens next is important." "Human life is important." "Human life is insignificant in the grant scheme of things." "My life is important." "My life is not important." "Time is important." "The flow of time is important." "Time dictates something." "Time waits for no one." "Things should be different."
These are all false because they have no place when trying to determine the meaning of life, when trying to attache a value to life. For example they prevent proper validating a gesture of care, of physically holding someone. And I hope we all agree that touching someone, holding someone, has a place when determining the value to human existence.
Another example: time flows different when you hold someone. When you cuddle your cat. When you're about to fall asleep. When you meditate.
If you do accept any of these premisses and jump aboard that train of logic you'll inevitably arrive at a dark destination. Not because the journey is wrong but because the depart was not fitting the quest and you shouldn't bring a train to a daisy fight with kittens.
You should know that the very fact that you are trying to understand and overcome life and the world with your brain is a sign you are trying to regain control over something. It's a defence against a feeling of powerlessness. That's the real station of departure.
It is this knowledge that helps me actively step away from these trains of thoughts. I can't ride them out, I know I can't win on the logical plane. I should not examine the place of the court system in society. Not analyze the role of women in cultural interactions. Not ponder the way we humans organize our society. Destroy the natural world. Transport cattle and pigs on the roads. Dispose of our waste.
And although I cannot see the falseness of the premisses when I feel this way I have grown to trust that they are. Distraction is the solution I apply until I feel well again.

Founded with an entrepreneurial spirit, HSN prides itself on bringing new products to a large television audience. HSN Vice President of New Business Development Dara Trujillo gets up every morning energized by the prospect of finding the next innovative entrepreneur. As she sifts through hundreds of great ideas at trade shows around the country, she focuses specifically on finding entrepreneurs who are passionate about the products they create.
On this week's Retail Gets Real episode, Trujillo discusses how the company elevates entrepreneurs through business education, guidance and exposure.
Trujillo is familiar with what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Personality is just as important as the product and "passion is something that you cannot teach," she says. Although passion, perseverance and persistence are common entrepreneurial traits, she stresses that there must be a willingness to receive feedback in the business development process and recommends that entrepreneurs link up with mentors to receive constructive feedback.
HSN's American Dreams Academy, a travelling two-day workshop for those currently developing a product, is a great source of feedback. The company finds eager entrepreneurs through a variety of strategic partnerships, often finding new products in the process. "Education is something you have to give entrepreneurs," she says, "and it's not something that's necessarily found in schools." The next training session runs January 24-26 in Tampa, Fla.

After weeks of thoroughly planning an event to help support a charity that you are passionate, the time for the event to occur is almost here!
You have all of the logistics worked out and now all you have to do is ensure a good turnout. But, how exactly do you go about advertising for your charity event to get a great turnout?
Below, are three ways to advertise for and promote your charity event.
A great way to get the word out is through the use of eye-catching signs, posters, and banners. You can purchase your own poster board and markers and make your own signs with hand-drawn images and written-out text.
However, if you want your charity event to seem legitimate, your best bet is to commission Signs and banners Asheville services to help. You can talk to them and tell them what you imagine the signs and banners to look like, and they will deliver a clean-cut and professional advertisement for you.
Social Media
Social media is a great tool to use in order to promote your charity event because so many people use social media on a daily basis. You can use Facebook by creating an event page and inviting your friends and family to the event via a Facebook notification.
You can then create an online banner or picture to use as the cover photo for your Facebook account. You should also ask anyone else involved in running the event to change their cover photos, too!
Never underestimate the value and impact of face-to-face interaction. If you approach someone in person and tell them about your charity event you will forge a personal connection with them that cannot be replicated by signs or through social media.
Set up a table outside of a grocery store or in a park and gently approach people and encourage them to come out to your event! Let them know how big of a difference they will be making by just agreeing to show up.
If you're passionate about giving back to a charity, then you want to make your event is as successful as possible. If you want to have the best turnout, then you should advertise using signs, social media, and in-person.

There's a meme going around celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ("Buffy" or "BTVS"), stating 10 things that made Buffy great. But I thought, frak that, it's more 10 things that made me hopelessly obsessed with the series much to my family and non-internet friends considerable chagrin. If you weren't a Buffy fan, you'll never understand those of us who were. Although my list may or may not be a place to start.
1. Redefined the Genre
Penny: I don't get why Leonard loves this show so much. Sure it's cute but...
Bernadette: You did notice that it's about a girl who kills monsters and kicks ass...
Penny: Oh that's right, the girl does it instead of the guy, whoppee
- The Big Bang Theory
She's also, and this is important, NOT the damsel or the victim.
Unless you are a fan of the gothic/superhero/slasher horror genre, unlike Penny, you won't notice the degree to which Whedon, a horror film critic, slaughtered the old school horror tropes and then redefined the hour-long gothic drama, not to mention the horror genre, with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The name in of itself was a sly joke - or a comment on the vampire/gothic/slasher genre in its entirety. Whedon neither satirizes nor parodies, he slyly sends it up while at the same time paying homage to it. Fixing the bits and pieces that he didn't like.
Up until Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the guy was the hero and the cute blonde was the victim, often the first victim. Buffy changed all that. From the very first scene, where we are teased by a creepy bad boy bringing an innocent blonde girl into a high school, at night, in the dark, all alone. In most tv shows in the 1990s and well, now, the guy would have turned into a vampire and sunk his teeth into the girl's neck. But in Buffy, the girl turns out to be the vampire and sinks her teeth into the guy's neck.
Buffy herself is a pint-sized, pretty, former high-school cheerleader, from the valley. In the 1990s and 1980s, being from "The Valley" or a "Valley Girl" meant dumb or shallow. They were a cinematic joke. The title itself is a joke. Buffy is the vampire slayer. For a bit it appeared to be a one-joke show, but no. Whedon expended on the cliche and subverted it.
Acting to redefine a genre. Or at least trying to. To an extent he succeeded. Urban fantasy took off during Buffy's tenure. And the leads were often tough women like Buffy herself.
2. Enter the Dramedy...or a bit of angst cluttered with quips
Prior to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, most hour long series were, well, dramas, shorter series were sitcoms. Rarely did the two meet. Whedon was amongst those who created the hour long dramedy. The series undercut its dramatic moments with sly quips. There's a line of dialogue between Buffy and Angel in S3, where he gives her a book of poetry that states that he loves her so much he is literally holding her heart in his hands. Buffy says while this is incredibly romantic, it is also..taken literally, incredibly gross. Others? Spike's line in Once More With Feeling - "If my heart could beat, it would break my chest". Or Buffy's timeless quip - "If the Apocalypse Comes? Beep Me."
The dialoque was fast and witty. The lines instantly quotable and many snaked their way into our lexicon.
The humor, a self-deprecating and at times very dry wit, undercut the campiness. The show often made fun of itself and the camp. The characters cracking wise or snarking at the silly monsters that came their way. In the process, it also made fun of pop culture.
3. Bending the rules regarding Narrative Form & the introduction of the Meta Narrative
Whedon played with format in Buffy the Vampire Slayer in a way few have before or since. Sure people experiment with tropes now and again, and he's certainly not the first to subvert them. But while the network wasn't paying attention, nor apparently a lot of other people, the writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were experimenting with different ways of telling a story.
* Hush - Whedon decided to see if he could tell a story without much dialogue, purely through silence and make it work within the fabric of the narrative as a whole. Add a bunch of fairy-tale villains and various comments on the unsuitability of words to express meaning...
* Once More With Feeling - Whedon created a musical meta narrative. He didn't just write a musical, because anyone can do that - see Sam Rami's Xenia, Scrubs Musical Episode or countless others. No, Whedon went a step further - he created a musical that commented on itself, the medium, the act of storytelling, and the creation of a musical in of itself.
OMWF was a meta narrative with music and dance numbers. I remember a friend telling me, "oh this is odd, the show is actually making fun of the fact that they are doing a musical." The self-deprecating wit was what endeared Whedon to a lot of his fans. And never was it more evident than in OMWF. The songs themselves are jokes or plays upon words, with lots of sexual puns thrown in.
An operatic number regarding the difficulty of removing Mustard from a Shirt
Xander turning to the audience after finishing his impromptu song and dance number with Anya: "move it along, nothing to see"
Tara's last line of "Under Your Spell" as Willow goes down on her...off screen, causing her to elevate..."Make me com........plete."
And of course Xander's last speech about doing a musical, which could be word for word Whedon's own speech to his cast and crew and the audience watching.
* The Body - the only episode that had no sound-track. Depicting death through awkward silences. Empty spaces. Negative space. And deft camera work. The episode haunts long after you see it. It feels stripped of metaphor, but of course it's not...the metaphor being the negative space that fills the space Buffy's mother once occupied.
* Restless - an experiment in surrealism and visual poetry. You either hated it or loved it. At its simplest, it explores the insecurities and fatal flaws of all four principal characters through their dreams, while at the same time providing the audience with a hidden road-map to the rest of the series. If only the audience can decipher it. Through-out, pop culture puns and sly jokes are littered - either directed at overblown cinematic darlings such as Apocalypse Now or French surrealistic cinema.
* Fool for Love - a study in styles.Watching Fool for Love is a bit like reading a comic made for tv. It jumps around. But at the same time it utilizes the unreliable narrator. As we watch Spike spin his tale for Buffy's ears, we also see the character redefine himself and his own image. At the end it's hard to know who he is exactly. Or what he wants. But do any of us know this for certain? The episode plays with identity and the roles people take on.
Each of the above episodes is a film/television scholar's dream. Filled to the brim with meta narrative and commentary on the medium, while at the same time expanding on it.
4. The Music...
Most tv series music I barely notice. Oh they have it. Grey's is so obnoxious about it that I have to turn on close-captioning. But few tv series selected songs that fit so perfectly.
Buffy was also amongst the first to premiere new bands, and albums, which people bought after-wards. Now, it's sort of a given for a lot of music related series or hip teen shows. But back then, not so much.
But the music in Buffy haunted me after the show ended. It encapsulated so perfectly the mood or the characters, often adding that extra layer. It was NOT just annoying background music.
Examples of some of the songs:
1. Wild Horses - the Buffy/Angel Theme Song
2. Transylvania Concubine by Rapunzel - Drusilla's Theme in Surprise
3. Pavlov's Bell by Aimee Mann - Spike's theme song in Sleeper (with the perfect phrase: "Trading Coats and ringing pavlov's bell...history knows that's how I fell")
4. Full of Grace by Sarah MacLachlan - the final song in Becoming Part II - while Buffy is on the bus
5. The Prayer of St. Francis by Sarah MacLachlan - the finale song of Grave, S6
6. Goodbye to You - the finale song in Tabula Rasa when both Tara and Giles have left
7. Virgin State of Mind - Willow's Theme song in Dopplegangland
8. Behind Blue Eyes - Giles song, which he sings in Where the Wild Things Are
9. Blue - the song Joss Whedon wrote for Conversations with Dead People, which begins the episode
10. Key - the Drusilla and Spike theme song in Crush
And many, many more.
There's also the haunting score, such as the Gentleman's theme in HUSH, which sends shivers up the spine, Close Your Eyes - Buffy/Angel theme, or the Final Fight score to Chosen.
5. Characters that you can sink your teeth into...
Whedon created complex characters, who were not always likable. Often did bad things. Yet were also relatable on a certain level. You cared. And characters make a story. Fans of the series have their favorites - which they will fight to the death for, no less. Some of the characters even subverted classic genre tropes.
For me, it was Spike, he was my favorite. He subverted the tropes. Next in line, was probably Buffy, who equally subverted tropes and rose above the stereotype of her name.
6. Literary references
Besides multiple film and televison references, the show was book smart and an English Lit not to mention Psych and Philosophy major's dream come true. References ranged from Victor Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame to Shakespeare's Henry the V. In one episode there's a reference to Edgar Allan Poe's Cask of Armtadillo. (Which I know I've misspelled).
On the Psych side of the fence we had references to Freud and Jung. And if you were a philosophy buff, better yet into existentialism, you most likely went nuts over the philosophical references and metaphors.
People annotated Buffy, referencing the thousands of references littered within the series. And discussing the meaning of each.
7. Evolution of Story...or referencing past episodes in a new way, giving those episodes a new meaning.
Buffy was amongst the few series that got better as it went along, and made former episodes which you once thought weren't that great seem either good or amazing upon re-viewing. It was, in short, a series that you wanted to re-watch. Because after you saw a later episode, you realized, wait, I missed something in the previous one.
The last three seasons of the series for example comment on the first three. It's almost as if the post-adolescent characters are seeing what happened in the high school years, now through adult eyes. "HIM" in comic form exposes another side of "Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered", with Xander and Spike now in the befuddled Giles role. Or how about the episode where Amy forces Willow to do a body switch, just as her mother once did to Amy in the classic episode Witch? The ironic subtext remains ever present. Upon re-watch, the viewer catches the sly commentary on the characters. And begins to see each in a new way.
8. Improves upon Re-watching - or The Series You Feel Compelled to Re-Watch
Buffy is that rare series where each time you watch it, it's like you've watched a new show, you react to it completely differently. There's a few movies, books, and tv shows that I feel a need to re-watch - because when I do, I pick up something new. Or see something I didn't the first round.
It's odd, the series critics often rave about right out of the box, I don't feel a need to re-watch. There's nothing to be gained in rewatching Breaking Bad or the Wire, I think. It's pretty much all there on the first go-around. But Buffy, you don't always see it. It's hard to explain exactly - it's a bit like looking a Rorschach Drawing: each time you do, you see something new.
9. The Gaps in the Story-Telling...or the bits the Writer's didn't tell us
While mostly frustrating, this technique can to a degree create obsession. The Writer doesn't explain his story. Too often writers do. The show will wrap itself up so neatly, that you won't need any more info. Nor do you need to rewatch. With Buffy, you did.
It wasn't always clear. You could debate Buffy. You could argue about it. You could over-analyze it. The writer left gaps.
10. Broke barriers in TV
* First Full-Blown Lesbian Relationship Shown on Network TV and First Kiss, not to mention sex scene
* Rough/Kinky Sex with no nudity on Network TV (the jaw-dropping moment of Smashed, when Buffy unzips Spike and impales herself on his, well, penis. This is also ground-breaking in that Buffy initiates the sex and Buffy launches herself at him, and Buffy is the one in control...rarely if ever seen, unless the female character is a villain or femme fatale trope, here it was the opposite.)
* Subversion of Gender Roles (see Smashed)
* Made fun of Burger King and advertisers...which ahem, was not permitted afterwards
It also had a lot of fun playing with "jump the shark" tropes and flipping them. Whedon made fun of tv, made fun of established television tropes - such as the magical kid who shows up out of nowhere.
As much as I loved that series, I do not want a reunion special or movie. Nor a reboot. Let it be what it is, please.
Oh, now here's 10 short but sweet reasons I loved it, the non-obsessive addition:
1. Spike
2. Subversion of Gender Tropes
3. Spuffy or the Spike/Buffy relationship
4. Cool songs and soundtrack
5. Once More with Feeling - musical geek
6. Quips and Witty Humor and Dialogue
7. Girl is the hero or Buffy
8. Willow
9. Giles (actually ASH - I watched it for him to start with)
10. Unpredictable and experimental episodes

Egg rolling
Egg rolling, or an Easter egg roll is a traditional game played with eggs at Easter. Different nations have different versions of the game, usually played with hard-boiled, decorated eggs.
Starting in 1835, Jacob Grimm and other writers proposed that the pre-Christian Saxons had a spring goddess Eostre, whose feast was held on the Vernal Equinox, around 21 March. Grimm also suggested that her animal was "probably" the spring hare, and that the egg symbolized the rebirth of the land in spring. Some claim that Pope Gregory the Great had ordered his missionaries to use old religious sites and festivals and absorb them into Christian rituals where possible. According to Grimm and his followers, the Christian celebration of the Resurrection of Christ was ideally suited to be merged with the Pagan feast of Ēostre and many of the traditions were adopted into the Christian festivities.[1] In England, Germany and other countries, children traditionally rolled eggs down hillsides at Easter; this may have become symbolic of the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ's tomb before his resurrection.[2] This tradition, along with others such as the Easter Bunny, were taken to the New World by European settlers.[2][3]
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom the tradition of rolling decorated eggs down grassy hills goes back hundreds of years and is known as "pace-egging", from the Old English Pasch meaning Pesach or Passover.[4] In Lancashire there are annual egg rolling competitions at Holcombe Hill near Ramsbottom and Avenham Park in Preston. Egg rolling has been a tradition at Avenham Park for hundreds of years but in recent years chocolate eggs have been used.[5] Other traditional egg rolling sites are the castle moat at Penrith, Bunkers Hill in Derby and Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh. Beacon Hill near Newbury, Berkshire is also an ideal spot. The eggs were traditionally wrapped in onion skins and boiled to give them a mottled gold appearance (although today they are usually painted) and the children competed to see who could roll their egg the furthest.[4] There is an old Lancashire legend that says the broken eggshells should be carefully crushed afterwards or they will be stolen and used as boats by witches.[6] The eggs were eaten on Easter Sunday or given out to pace-eggers – fantastically dressed characters who processed through the streets singing traditional pace-egging songs and collecting money as a tribute before performing traditional mumming plays.[7] At the Wordsworth museum in Grasmere there is a collection of highly decorated eggs made for the poet's children.[7]
United States
In the United States, the Easter Egg Roll is an annual event, and is held on the White House lawn each Easter Monday for children and their parents.
The Egg Roll itself is a race, where children push an egg through the grass with a long-handled spoon.[8] Surrounding events include appearances by White House personalities in Easter Bunny costumes, speeches and book-reading by Cabinet secretaries, and exhibits of artistically-decorated eggs.
According to tradition,[9] Dolley Madison, the wife of President James Madison, began the event in 1814 and hundreds of children brought their decorated eggs to join in games. The original site was on the grounds of the United States Capitol, but in 1877 a new lawn was planted and the gardeners cancelled the event.[10] Congress then passed a law making it illegal to use the grounds as a children's playground.[11] At the request of a number of children, including his own, then President Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife Lucy Hayes brought the event to the White House lawns.[12] In 1953 Mamie Eisenhower proposed that event be opened to black children, and in 1954 the event was open to blacks.[13]
On April 13, 2009, the Obamas hosted their first White House Easter egg roll. The theme "Let's go play" was meant to encourage young people to lead healthy, active lives.[14] Celebrities such as J.K. Rowling, the cast of Glee and Justin Bieber attended the egg roll in 2010. It was featured in the 2007 film National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
Other countries
In Germany, a prize is awarded to the contestant whose egg rolls fastest down a track made of sticks. In Denmark, decorated eggs are rolled down slopes in grassland or forest - the contestant whose egg rolls furthest is the winner - and eggs are eaten after the game (if not broken). The tradition is particularly common around the town of Køge. In the Netherlands, the contestant whose egg rolls furthest wins a prize. In Lithuania you collect the eggs that are touched by the one rolled by you. In Egypt, children bowl red and yellow eggs towards another row of eggs and whoever cracks one egg can claim them all. In eastern Europe, there are other traditions such as egg tapping and egg decorating.[15]
