I bet I'm going to get a lot of indignant feedback by the time everybody is done reading this, but then…God gave me a brain so that I could use it, don't you think?
Forgive me for the lack of preliminary niceties, but my mind is otherwise preoccupied with a burning question: What is the difference between a Muslim jihadist, and a Christian who throws gay people in jail?
– A Muslim jihadist is someone who has crossed the line from religion, to fanaticism. He becomes convinced that Allah has given him the mission to institute Sharia law on earth, and to kill those who do not want to conform.
– A Christian gay-basher is someone who has crossed the line from religion, to zealotry. He is convinced that God has given him the mission to protect the earth from gay people, and any person who goes against his divine job is to be jailed and yes, maybe killed .
Everybody has some sort of bias, or prejudice, or standard by which they live their life. What is important is that we learn to respect each other's differences, each other's beliefs, each other's right to choose how to live their life. I'm not saying my personal opinion is that being gay is the way to go – I'm saying until the gay lifestyle poses a real (not imagined) danger to me, I think I should mind my own business.
After all, if a Muslim fanatic can't tell you how to live your life, why do you think you can tell a gay person how to live theirs?
Yup. It's a prejudice, pure and simple.
Ayuk, u argue like a lawyer!! I like that.
lol thanks Maah…I guess all the undergrad studying did not go in vain then!
Hey Efs! Glad to see you here. In my opinion, a moral wrong imperils persons other than those involved ie, third parties. To my knowledege, homosexuality does not imperil a third party in anyway other than in their sensibilities, which are for the most part religion-inclined. To me, jailing someone for being homosexual is the same thing as jailing someone because she dates married men.
I share your point completely…but i do not think it is Christians or in the name of Christianity that gay people are jailed…its the government. My argument is that this is not about religion but about the absence of the right to choose.
I have not thought along this line before. I've always been againt homosexual persecution because I believe a human should not be persecuted based on race, nation, gender or sexual orientation.
Thanks for this point of view, Tiki. I just discovered your blog, and I'm subscribing to it. Cheers.
Thank you for stopping by and subscribing! And you are so right, religion has become an opium for the mentally weak, and a cover for the perpetration of all sort of heinous crimes against humanity.
I say, enough of people fighting for God. He is all powerful and can fight his own battles. You cant force your religious beliefs down the throat of people. That is just unfair.
Yup. It is unfair and immoral. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

HOUSTON - Venezuela is considering refining foreign crude for the first time to produce fuels, the latest sign of the country's strain to meet its obligations despite having the world's largest crude reserves.
State-run oil company PDVSA has drawn up a plan to process up to 57,000 barrels per day (bpd) of foreign crude in June at the country's largest refinery. The fuels produced would fulfill export contracts largely to Russian and Chinese customers and reduce purchases of fuels for domestic use.
The oil company has been falling short of fuel exports in recent years due to a lack of lighter crudes to refine, spare parts, poor maintenance and management upheaval at its 1.3 million-barrel-per-day (bpd) domestic refining network. PDVSA also lost access in May to inventories produced in Curaçao, where it operates the 335,000-bpd Isla refinery.
The country's falling oil production and exports have led to a severe economic recession, a loss of skilled workers, and widespread food and medicine shortages, hampering efforts to turnaround PDVSA. Some energy experts say further declines could contribute to a global crude shortfall.
The OPEC member country had never before imported foreign crude for its domestic refineries, although it has mixed African, Russian and U.S. crudes needed to blend with its extra heavy oil to make exportable products. It also has purchased foreign oil for Caribbean refineries and to supply allies, including Cuba.

› Articles › The Bird That Wasn't There
The Bird That Wasn't There
Yesterday upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away…
—"Antigonish," William Hughes Mearns
I'm struggling into my sweater, half-hitching my scarf, heaving on my leather coat (its patina has evolved over two decades from stylish, to worn, to stylishly worn), plopping on a flappy-eared hat. My corgi, Millie, looks up. "Yes, Millie, of course you're going out too, but you're already dressed." Clip. On goes her leash. And, for me, on, finally, go the gloves. Out. To the winter wonderland.
Winter birding in the West Village, while cataloging the birds that are there, is frequently a connect-the-dots reverie on the birds that aren't. Nearly every step, tree branch and cornice remind me of a bird that I saw there once but isn't there now. And, of course, I'm always hoping for that new bird that might appear just around the next corner. All of those past and future birds fluttering through my head are worthy of Hitchcock—quite a conjuring trick.
Crunching the snow on the cobblestones of Perry Street whisks me to another snow-covered morning, admiring Millie's red-brick glow in the sunrise. Whoosh-wham. A mere leash-length in front of me, at the Greenwich Street corner, a hawk picked out a panicked Mourning Dove, then settled calmly to enjoy breakfast on a branch outside Braeburn (earlier Caribe, then Voyage and now Left Bank—more neighborhood pentimento). A Cooper's Hawk. A first winter youngster. But already stunning. (I was stunned.) Just last month, in the midst of a morning nor'easter, another Cooper's surveying Perry Street caught my peripatetic eye.
Raptors, from the Latin "to seize and carry away," seem an unlikely match for the gentle enclaves of the West Village, yet some make their homes here, and others are just winter transients. Something tasty, or smelly, beckons Millie to catty-corner back across Greenwich Street. This offers a good view of the backyard treetops behind Greenwich Village Auto and Body Repair, a frequent winter perch for a Red-tailed Hawk. I've seen a robust auburn-tailed adult swaying on a branch up there as well as a browner-tailed white-rumped kid. Both looked equally impressive (I was impressed) silhouetted against the sky. And when one plummeted down into the atrium of my building pursuing a pigeon, a neighbor who came face to face with the literally hawk-eyed stranger on her windowsill told me that LARGE was an understatement.
Millie freezes, looking up in her amusing (for a herding dog) bird-dog pointing pose. A resilient clutch of oak leaves chatter on a branch while, just above, a plastic bag caught in an updraft circles ominously. A formation of pigeons loop-the-loop beyond that. My gaze stalls on the finial at the top of a water tower, tricking me once again with its hunkered-down-hawk-imitating outline. And further skyward are a handful of gulls scribbling against the clouds. Layers upon layers.
My mind wanders to another winter's Bleecker Street chase after the surprising kek-kek-kek of an alarmed Sharp-shinned Hawk. I remember dashing (thrilling Millie) after a glimpse on Charles, a zigzag at Perry, and then losing the square-tailed tourist as it veered east at 11th Street. That was the only time I've seen a Sharpy in the neighborhood. But seeing one once means that every time I'm out, there's the possibility that I might see its flap-flap-flap-glide again.
Heading west has me reanimating Kestrel sightings. Several pairs have nested in the West Village in the past several years, and though I've never seen one in winter, there could be one. On a sunny day, a male—with its gaudy orange and blue finery—perched on a balcony makes my day. I've tried to turn many a pigeon, with its sharply angled wings, into a Kestrel stooping for lunch. Occasionally the alchemy does work, though the exact recipe is elusive. Still, every roof line demands scrutiny.
Hudson River Park beckons. We have the light. Millie loves this, and having a jogger and a bicycle to chase makes it even better. The usual scruffling White-throated Sparrows are tsk-ing around the bushes. A Cardinal plinks from a tree. Out over the River, a small flight of Brant Geese careens south, probably for a snack on the Pier 45 lawn. Winter regulars.
A caterwauling gull. Oh. Up there. A Peregrine Falcon is in rollercoaster chase. A real raptor this time—not just one in my head. There's a Peregrine pair that can often be found on the ledges of the yellowish building at West and 16th Streets, but they're not strangers to hunting over these blocks. I'm hypnotized. Up. Up. Out of sight. Just a few seconds. But those seconds are now part of my Village birding lore.
Scanning the Hudson, I say, "Millie, maybe there's a Bald Eagle riding an ice floe?" Right now, it's one more glamorous bird that's not there.

Italy President May Resign Early in Coming Months
Italy's president Giorgio Napolitano, who reluctantly agreed to a second term in 2013 at a time of political crisis, may step down in January, five years before the end of his term, political commentators said on Sunday.
Napolitano, 89, could announce his decision in his traditional year-end address on Dec. 31 and leave office several weeks later, Reuters quoted commentators in major newspapers as saying.
The presidential palace said it had no comment on the reports of an impending resignation.
Napolitano, who said from the outset he would not stay for an entire 7-year mandate, has confided to friends that he suffers from a series of age-related ailments that were making it difficult for him to carry on in the job, according to a report in Corriere della Sera newspaper.
La Repubblica quoted Emanuele Macaluso, a retired politician and close friend of Napolitano's, as saying the decision to step down was "a closed question," and that the country could not ask Napolitano "to make any more sacrifices".
In April 2013, Napolitano yielded to pleas from squabbling politicians and agreed to an unprecedented second term to try to end a chaotic stalemate left by deadlocked elections in February of that year.
After his election, he brought some relative political stability to Italy by appointing Enrico Letta of the center-left Democratic Party to form a government with a broad coalition. Letta resigned in February after losing a leadership battle within the Democratic Party to current Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
Napolitano said at the time he would step down after he felt that the euro-zone's third-largest economy was on the road to institutional reforms, such as a new electoral law currently in parliament that would guarantee more political stability.
The Italian head of state, who is elected by parliament, has broad political powers. He can appoint prime ministers, dissolve parliament and call early elections.
Potential candidates to succeed Napolitano include Romano Prodi, the former prime minister and European Commission president, and former Prime Minister Giuliano Amato. Both have been candidates for the presidency in the past.
A former communist, Napolitano was first elected to parliament in 1953 and has been politician most of his life. He was speaker of the lower house of parliament and also served as interior minister.

Home Joinery
The aim of the Joinery, an association founded in 2018, is to promote young contemporary art and its actors in various formats, to make them visible, to communicate their concerns and to enable a comprehensive exchange with a broad audience. The Joinery sees itself as a think tank with the function of an incubator for ideas that pursue future-oriented adjustments within the art system in the context of artistic interventions, practical measures and research projects.
Due to Covid-19, the physical exchange and mediation of contemporary art has been severely compromised, but online research has become more important than ever. In response to this development, the Joinery is realising Liste Expedition Online, a new online format for researching contemporary artists. As a digital research forum, Liste Expedition Online will consist of a continuously growing artist index representing the latest positions in contemporary art and, in times of the local and the virtual, will give these artists the best possible international attention beyond physical presence at a fair. The featured artists will be selected by the world's most important project spaces and galleries of the younger generation and they will first be presented on List Showtime Online, a temporary digital platform that runs parallel to Liste Art Fair Basel. Preserving artistic presentations for the largest possible audience to encourage and enable research is at the heart of Liste Expedition Online. It is made possible with the generous support of the Federal Office of Culture and Canton of Basel-Stadt as well as Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger I KBH.G.

Hyperpresence – 25 Years of Liste
A video project initiated by the Joinery on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Liste Art Fair Basel with Michael Etzensperger, Katrin Niedermeier and Jodok Wehrli, in collaboration with the Art Institute HGK FHNW in Basel.
Liste Art Fair Basel was founded in 1996 as a place for new discoveries in contemporary art. Since then it has intensified the present year after year. The 25th edition of Liste takes the Joinery as a platform to examine this present by looking at the past; such a reflection will not change the past but rather allow us to learn more about it, in turn impacting our lives in the present.
To celebrate Liste's 25th anniversary, the Joinery initiated a collaboration with the Art Institute HGK FHNW in Basel and commissioned three of the school's graduates to work with Liste's image archive. From their own unique perspectives, the artists Michael Etzensperger, Katrin Niedermeier and Jodok Wehrli have recontextualised documentations of Liste from the last 25 years and through this developed contemporary concerns, which will be presented as video works in the external area of the fair. More information can be found here.
The Joinery wants to extend its gratitude to all supporters of the video project:
Balima Stiftung
Dr. Georg und Josi Guggenheim-Stiftung
Hans und Renée Müller-Meylan Stiftung
Jacqueline Spengler Stiftung
Swisslos-Fonds Basel-Stadt

If you are having trouble warming up in a round enough outline, after your initial walk. Star trot work on a 10 metre circle making 3 or 4 before moving on, in a straight line with the outside rein steadily closed. Repeat the circles again in sitting trot as it is really necessary that you keep your balance. Do this on the left rein first and then change direction. Your outside support rein works with the closed inside leg on the girth. You should feel that the horse is bending himself around the leg, the forehand a little inward and the hind leg inward. Continue into riding a very small angled shoulder in on both sides.
Rider exercise. Ride the above with your Left foot out of the stirrup iron. Firstly just let your leg hang loosely and when you start to sit then bend the knee slightly forward.
I am posting 2 photos of Kelly and I hope your all appreciate the hard work she has put in to change the way of going of her horse through improved riding.


This is where I will be sharing My "Face of the Day"! I will list the products I used to achieve the look.
We made it to day five!!! The Tartelette in Bloom pallet is one every girl should have. This is honestly the perfect everyday pallet. I remember earlier this year this pallet is all I reached for. It's a true neutral pallet that only has three shimmers. Obviously people would automatically reach for the shimmers to put on the lid so I decided to do a full matte eye just to show the versatility. Thank you guys for sticking with me these five days! I hope to get some reviews up soon since I have been using a lot of new products. Full product list is below!
Happy Thanksgiving guys! I hope everyone is enjoying time with their family and of course eating! I thankful my skin doesn't hate me for wearing so much makeup in the past couple of days lol I must admit this is my favorite look thus far. This pallet is super affordable and it's also a collaboration with Jackie Aina who is one of my favorite beauty vloggers! She is beautiful inside and out so I was super excited to support this collaboration. The details of this look are super simple so be sure to check out the product listing below!
It's day three loves and today's look we're using the Too Faced The Power of Makeup Pallet by NikkieTutorials! I was pretty excited to get my hands on this because I did not own many Too Faced products and we can all agree, Nikkie's makeup is ALWAYS on point so I knew the pallet would be bomb! The pallet comes with nine eyeshadows, two blushes, one contour color and one highlight. The pallet also came with an eyeshadow primer, loose glitter, a mini mascara and a full liquid eyeliner all for $56! Keep reading to get the details on this look.
Hi Loves! The second pallet we will get into is one of my favorites! The MAC 15 Warm Neutral is one of the best everyday pallets I have. I love this pallet because it has great crease colors and you can get a day/night look with subtle pops of color. Bae has been liking olive green this Fall, so I wasn't surprised when I asked him what color I should use and he picked Unwind. Make sure to look at the product list below. Remember eye shadow looks don't have to take a ton of colors, I got this look using only four shadows!
Hello Loves!!!!! I'm baaaaack!!! So excited to get back to posting on the blog!! I have missed you guys a ton and I have been dying to play in makeup. Work has finally slowed down (thank the baby) but I'm still on the road. Traveling however, has not stopped me from buying makeup lol. So to jump back into things I wanted to start with 5 different makeup looks using 5 different eye shadow pallets! Since I am still on the road I don't have a full set up so……I will only be showing the finished look 😦 But I will be sure to list EVERYTHING I used to achieve each look. First up, Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance eye shadow pallet.

Once again, the Supreme Court upsets precedent in Fourth and Eleventh Circuit.
Blog Southeastern ERISA Watch
Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP
USA June 10 2015
As we reported in our March 11, 2014 article, the Eleventh and Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals definitively rejected the "continuing breach" theory in recent disputes involving statute of limitations deadlines in ERISA cases alleging fiduciary breach claims. This precedent was short-lived.
As way of background, plan fiduciaries have been under fire in recent years for their role in the selection and retention of underperforming or fee-heavy funds offered as investment options in 401(k) plans. Under ERISA, a lawsuit premised upon a breach of fiduciary duty must be filed by the earlier of: (1) three years after the participant had actual knowledge of the breach; or (2) six years after the breach occurred. As to the latter, the trigger date is: "(A) the date of the last action which constituted a part of the violation; or (B) in the case of an omission, the latest date on which the fiduciary could have cured the breach or violation." ERISA § 413.
The focus of these recent cases has been on the second prong: When participants of a defined contribution plan allege that plan fiduciaries breached their duties by failing to remove poor performing funds from 401(k) investment options, is the date of the breach when the funds were initially selected? Or is there a continuing breach for each day that the funds remained in the investment lineup, assuming no substantial change of circumstance has occurred?
In 2013, the Court in David v. Alphin, 704 F. 3d 327, 341 (4th Cir. 2013), addressed this issue when plaintiffs alleged, inter alia, that plan fiduciaries failed to remove underperforming and fee-heavy funds from their 401(k) investment options. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's dismissal of the claim as untimely. Finding that the complaint's allegations were "based on attributes of the funds that existed at the time of their initial selection," the Court held that, "at its core," plaintiff's complaint was "simply another challenge to the initial selection of the funds to begin with." Id. at 341. A year later, in Fuller v. SunTrust Banks, Inc., 744 F. 3d 685 (11th Cir. 2014), the Court held, under a similar fact scenario, that the accrual date for purposes of ERISA § 413 of an alleged breach was the date of the initial selection, unless there existed circumstances or distinct conduct separate from the initial fund selection. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's dismissal of plaintiffs' claims as untimely.
In Tibble v. Edison Int'l., 2015 WL 2340845 (May 18, 2015), the United States Supreme Court came to the opposite conclusion. The Court emphasized that, under trust law, "a trustee has a continuing duty to monitor trust investments and remove imprudent ones. This continuing duty exists separate and apart from the trustees' duty to exercise prudence in selecting investments at the outset." The Court held that "as long as the alleged breach of the continuing duty [to monitor] occurred within six years of suit, the claim is timely." In doing so, the Supreme Court reversed the Ninth Circuit's decision, upon which the Court in Fuller had heavily relied.
The Supreme Court did agree with the Fourth and the Eleventh Circuit on one thing: It explicitly declined to define what a fiduciary's continuing duty to monitor was supposed to look like: "We express no view on the scope of [defendants'] fiduciary duty." Id. at. *5 (In both Fuller and David, the Courts were careful to decline to decide "whether a fiduciary had an ongoing duty to remove imprudent investment options from a Plan in the absence of a material change in circumstances." Fuller, 744 F. 3d at 702; see also,David, 704 F. 3d at 341.) Instead, the Tibble Court remanded to the court below to consider whether the defendants did in fact "conduct the sort of review that a prudent fiduciary would have conducted absent a significant change in circumstances." Id. at *5.

Youngsters involved in politics TV debate
Three young people from a Welsh Baptist church have taken part in a television debate in an attempt to convince people to vote.
Year 11 students, Deandra Wheatland, Ffion Price and Ashley Mansel featured in the BBC Wales X Ray current affairs programme, where they took part in a debate with some determined non-voters. The programme is set to air on 4 May.
'To take part was a great opportunity,' Deandra said. 'We didn't manage to convince the non-voters but I think we gave them something to think about. I'm looking forward to being able to vote.'
Their participation came about through their involvement at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Bonymaen, a village on the eastern edge of Swansea.
Ashley, with the agreement of others, had an idea to form a youth group focused around a drama workshop. The group is called "Manic Productions" and puts on shows in support of the Swansea East Side Food Bank, which is also based at the church.
it has given them an increased awareness of community issues, and as a result they have come to know ward councillors Paul Lloyd and Mandy Evans, Assembly Member Mike Hedges and have been out campaigning with Parliamentary Candidate, Carolyn Harris (Labour).
Ffion said, 'We were lucky enough to discuss our involvement in causes that are important to us with the BBC. We all spoke about the food bank and how being involved with Mount Zion fulfilled us. Yes, we can help people but being part of what's going on is good for our own individual, social and mental wellbeing.'
Minister the Revd Chris Lewis noted how historically Baptists have given expression to their Christian values in political action.
'Nye Bevan came of a Baptist family,' he said, 'One of our members, Mair Gibbs was a ward councillor, Lord Mayor of Swansea and is now an Alderman.
'Deandra, Ffion and Ashley are following in a good tradition. Why should Gospel values not be in the public realm?'

Q: Cassandra polymorphism How can I do in Cassandra polymorphism?
For example, as shown below store json?
The first type, when the attachments added photos
{
  "id": 1,
  "text": "Hello",
  "read": true,
  "attachment_type": 1,
  "attachment": {
    "photo_id": 1,
    "photo_big_url": "htt://photo.com/1_big.jpg",
    "photo_medium_url": "htt://photo.com/1_medium.jpg",
    "photo_small_url": "htt://photo.com/1_small.jpg"
  }
}

And the second type, when the attachments added videos
{
  "id": 2,
  "text": "Hi",
  "read": true,
  "attachment_type": 2,
  "attachment": {
    "video_id": 1,
    "video_url": "htt://video.com/1.mpg",
  }
}

A: Sure, you can combine your fields in a single Cassandra table:
CREATE TABLE media (
  id int,
  name text,
  read boolean,
  attachment_type int,
  photo_id int,
  photo_big_url text,
  photo_medium_url text,
  photo_small_url" text,
  video_id int,
  video_url text,
  PRIMARY KEY ((id), attachment_type)
);

Fields that are not completed are not stored in Cassandra, so you are not wasting hard disk space.
Depending on the driver you are using, you can declare different entities for Photo and Video, each having only the relevant fields, and map your results to entities accordingly.
With the DataStax driver for C# it would be something like:
mapper.Fetch<Photo>("SELECT * FROM media WHERE id = 1 and attachment_type = 1");
mapper.Fetch<Video>("SELECT * FROM media WHERE id = 1 and attachment_type = 2");

This provocative booklet provides us a brand new technique to examine the traits of our exchanges with strangers. after we commence this trip we will hint the outlines of our lives jointly in community-our expressions of being concerned and hospitality, the prices of prejudice and judgment, our fears and defensiveness, the stress among being inclusive or particular, our expectancies and assumptions approximately each other.

The commitment is not the kind we may make to our family or friends or close neighbors; nor is it the same kind of loyalty we feel for people at work or in a religious community. Chap 2 7/14/02 10:16 AM Page 32 they matter. Just as I touched the life of a little old man, so Norma touched my life, and the lives of the children she escorted across the street. Dramatic? No. It is a subtle connection. But God is in the details, and in the daily human interaction we have with strangers. It is as if, in our bonds with strangers, we have an unspoken covenant to care for one another as fellow human beings.
Consider, for instance, exchanges that take place in the bank or the grocery store. I often choose to make a bank deposit using the drivethrough option. But even if I am parked twenty feet away from the teller, with several layers of glass, post, and vacuum-thrust equipment between us, I appreciate the friendly greeting I receive from the face behind the glass. I may not even see the smile, but I know it is there. Chap 2 7/14/02 10:16 AM Page 46 can hear it in her electronically garbled voice. I need that.
It became apparent that any measures taken by the medical team would only prolong my father's illness and require that he remain in the hospital for an extended time.

I went into his hospital room after the conference with the doctor. "I guess you just got some bad news," I said. " His worst fear had been assuaged.


Cigarette smoke (CS) is affecting considerably the oral mucosa. Heating, instead of burning, tobacco reduces consistently the amount of toxic compounds and may exert a lower impact on oral health than combusted cigarettes. The carbon-heated tobacco product 1.2 (CHTP1.2) is a potential modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) based on heat-not-burn technology. Using a systems toxicology assessment framework, we compared the effects of exposure to CHTP1.2 aerosol with those of CS from a reference cigarette (3R4F). Human organotypic cultures derived from buccal and gingival epithelia were exposed acutely (28-min) or repeatedly (28 min/day for 3 days), respectively, to two matching concentrations of CHTP1.2 aerosol or 3R4F CS, and a non-diluted (100%) CHTP1.2 aerosol. The results showed an absence of cytotoxicity, reduction in pathophysiological alterations, toxicological marker proteins, and inflammatory mediators following exposure to CHTP1.2 aerosol compared with 3R4F CS. Changes in mRNA and miRNA expression were linked by an integrative analysis approach, suggesting a regulatory role of miRNAs in several smoke/disease-relevant biological processes induced by 3R4F CS. The identification of mechanisms by which potential MRTPs can reduce the impact of tobacco use on biological systems is of great importance in understanding the molecular basis of the smoking harm reduction paradigm.

Q: What is the opposite of a stage whisper? So a stage whisper is defined as (American Heritage Dictionary):

*

*The conventional whisper of an actor, intended to be heard by the audience but supposedly inaudible to others on stage.

*A whisper that can be or is intended to be overheard.

Is there any good description of the opposite? For example, if I'm in a crowded place, and I mock-yell under my breath so that only I or a single friend am actually aware of it, how could we describe that?

A: A stage whisper is a feigned whisper, which is so loud and hoarse that almost everyone in the theater audience can hear it.
A _______shout is a feigned shout, which is so quiet and hoarse that almost nobody in the random crowd can hear it.
The problem here is that when shouting in this manner, you're not in any special place dedicated to a certain kind of activity (theater). You're merely in a crowded (and nameless) place. The neat symmetry you're looking for thus does not exist, and the place, being nameless, can't lend its name as the adjective.
What the two have in common is hoarseness, and the fact that they're feigned.


What is it that we want? To be one of the crowd or unique? I have never been sure of this. At times people want to be special and look different but sometimes it becomes very irritating to be different. I have been different in many ways and though initially I have been very unhappy about it later I have accepted it. I consider God had some special lessons for me to learn. I am not sure why he chose me. The lessons I learn have been tough and worth learning though it is not an easy task.
I was born with a club foot. That made me different from other kids. I was conscious about this and was not very comfortable. Later on I learnt that a human being is not made up of just two feet. One feet being deformed is not so devastating. I was happy I could walk and did not mind the limp. Later on with some effort from my part and some help from God; training from our PT sir, the limp went away. I started being happy that I am able to walk without a limp even with my club foot. Hurrrahhhh!!!
Days passed by and God sent me another assignment. It was to lose my freedom. Not just a small part of my freedom but all of it. No one invaded and captured me but it was a cultural thing to get married. Tough lesson for a young woman who considered her freedom and privacy some thing very precious. He decided I should have no more privacy and no more freedom. I was tricked into that assignment with a lot of emotional blackmailing and threats. I went along with that. I had to stop being what I was. Act silly though I was not silly. Bend in prostrations for a prayer because some one calling himself my better half thought his life depended on me being like any other woman from his house and village. Wear clothes in a way which made me uncomfortable. Not to read, eat, walk in the way I liked but to follow some pattern. I have just been through it but I think I lost the moral which I was supposed to learn from it. (Sorry God. I had to let you down there.) I still do not understand the motive behind that class I had to attend because I am yet to finish that course. Looking out and searching for freedom and yearning for a life of my own. I am of the opinion that My life is supposed to be lived by me wholly and not partially. I can't give away a part of it to someone just like that.
Later in my life I learnt another lesson. I had to lose one of my breasts to cancer and that made me feel conscious again of my physicality. With some whole hearted contribution from my husband (who lost his touch in acting the better half part) I started to feel like an incomplete woman. I regretted surrendering one of my breasts to BC. It took me quite sometime to realize that I was not a woman just because of the two breasts. I agree I looked pretty with two of them but then just looking pretty is not a big deal. There is so much more in me which gives me the feminine touch. It was the compassion, emotionality, love, motherhood etc which was engraved inside me that made me the woman I am. God made me learn the lesson and respect myself and feel like a complete woman all over again.
……………they lack the special vision to see the important qualities of a human being.
The biggest challenge in my life has been my daughter who was born with special needs. I never asked the usual "Why me?" for long because soon I had the answer. God had trust in me that I am good enough to love and bring up a special kid like my daughter. This has been one tough struggle for me. I cannot comprehend God's reason behind teaching me this lesson but I know he is teaching and everyday I am learning what he wants me to learn. I must confess that I do not know my grades. The new lessons when they arrive make me feel I may have completed my previous assignment successfully.
Initially it was tough to accept that my baby will never be able to see, walk, talk, run and live like everyone else. The question that stood before me was "what is the aim of her survival? What is she going to do as a woman? Slowly and steadily God answered my questions. I am so much more accepting and loving person now just because of my daughter. She is successful in changing me into a better person with every passing day. She has made me reach out to people and look deep into every individual. She gave me courage, strength and fighting spirit. She was one of the reasons why I fought cancer desperately to win my life back. She gave me motivation for living.
I learnt acceptance of life…. In many ways.
One of the most important lesson was when I found out that with all the knowledge stacked in my brain and with all my abilities, when I die, I will be corpse. I have to die. There is no escape from death. We all have to be there. When life is sniffed out we are not even addressed by our names. We become bodies. No matter who we are and what we have. So I end up a corpse someday. From the day I was born and until I die I have some time to spend living in this world where I will achieve, learn few skills, take a bath, cook food, do some good, some bad and eventually death will catch up with me. I look at my daughter and then see that eventually she will end up a corpse. Like anyone else. She has days to live between her birth and death. In those days there are things she cannot do which many can. That includes the good and bad ones too. When I hear about murders, terrorist attacks, rapes, drug peddling and other evils I know my kid is not capable of something like that along with the disability of not being able to run, talk, cook, wash etc. Is that very bad equation? I am not sure. I see her getting up in the morning not worrying about anything which is to be done even in the evening that day. She is living the now most of the time. Never thinks about putting up appearances for the sake of others. No peer pressure. No money problems. She makes me realize that most of my worries are created by me. They are my creations because I think of tomorrow, day after it, even years after it at times. She can be happy because it is raining, it is warm, it is cold and just because it is some weather out there. I have watched her struggle to draw a square and the elation on succeeding at drawing it imperfectly. That makes me wonder why some people worry about that one percent less which would have been much better.
Got to learn a lot from your post. Patience, perseverance and most of all how not to quit in any phase of life. Thanks for this lesson!

Wallet Hide apps that can't be deleted For now, the best way to hide the Apple apps that can't be deleted is to move them into a folder and then shunt that folder to a home screen buried below all your other home screens.

A San Francisco airport worker has been charged with killing the fiance of a co-worker he had a crush on, prosecutors said.
Kevin Prasad, 31, and his friend Donovan Rivera were charged this week with killing Mark Mangaccat in his driveway last Wednesday.
Prasad previously worked with Mangaccat was well as his fiancee, Thandel Seinn, with whom prosecutors say the suspect was infatuated.
She and Mangaccat planned to move to Las Vegas with the 3-year-old daughter they shared, and get married.
That all changed a week ago when Mangaccat was arriving home after picking up Seinn from her last shift at San Francisco International Airport.
"It is just through great fortune that she wasn't also struck by one of the five or six bullets that were fired," he continued.
Seinn says she never saw who did the shooting.
"So I'm crying and I'm thinking, 'What happened? He has no enemies. I don't have enemies either,'" she told KPIX.
They reportedly didn't enter pleas when they appeared in court on Monday.
The killing has left Seinn grieving for the man she planned to marry.

A student who graduated from St. James this year recently earned a national debate title in Salt Lake City.
Bradley Wascher, who heads to Western Kentucky University in the fall, took top honors and was named national champion in the "extemporaneous commentary" contest earlier this month at the National Speech and Debate Tournament, sponsored by the National Speech and Debate Association. The school's speech and debate team took eight qualifiers to the tournament this month.
Rising sophomore Salena Bulls was named a semifinalist in "Impromptu Speaking" at the same national tournament.
Competing with about 250 students from throughout the country, in the "extemporaneous commentary" event, a speaker is given a prompt – which usually is related to current events or pop culture – and they are provided 20 minutes to prepare a five-minute speech.
Wascher spoke about Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
2016 Nationals - High School Information
In preparation for the competition, Wascher worked under St. James Speech and Debate coach Ian Turnipseed.
"I am very proud of Bradley's accomplishment," Turnipseed said. "He is an amazing example of how hard work and dedication produce results. I am glad that St. James School offers him and every student these opportunities and look forward to seeing other students follow in his footsteps, to hopefully similar results."
The school is the first school in Alabama to earn a National Speech and Debate Championships title in more than a decade.
"It has truly been an honor to represent my school these past few years," said Wascher.


I was listening to the Oz vs SA game on the Internet last night, here at 2.00am in freezing New Jersey. The commentary is excellent, mostly unbiased and reminds me of Test Match Special in its heyday. Not today's argumentative, sycophantic ramblings and whingeing and too little cricket ( except CMJ who seems to be the only one with any class ).
Anyway they commented on the KPeanuts versus Daft Vader squabble and the comment was " let it continue and fester and that will be all to the benefit of Oz ".
By the way I think even glasses of milk wouldn't helped poor Smudger Smith when he was hit on the hand. Jeff Lawson exclaimed " That was a ripper. Oh strewth that has to have caused some serious damage. Great bowling !! "
You know things are bad when a blogger uses the Star Wars analogy.

Just how much can a company legally charge you to allow a policy holder out of his automobile insurance?
Exactly how much does your agency charge when someone chooses to end and how much pressure do you use to keep them?
What are some ideas or something we can say if our consumer has many months still left on his current auto policy? Surely, we are not going to hold back until his renewal comes due each time.

Microsoft's Office 2016 update launches with renewed focus on collaboration
Microsoft released the next major update for its Office productivity suite Tuesday.
Blair Hanley Frank (IDG News Service) 22 September, 2015 13:00
If there's one piece of software that makes the business world tick, it's Microsoft Office. The venerable productivity suite has been a key component of most major companies' workflows for years, if not decades.
In recent years, however, new entrants have challenged Microsoft's dominance over the productivity suite market. Google Drive has been one such competitor, especially thanks to the strength of its collaboration features that allow multiple people to edit a file at the same time.
Microsoft wants to get a piece of that action with its major Office 2016 update, which is primarily focused on helping users work well together. The new features include support for real-time coauthoring in Word, so users can work together on the same document without changing information that's being used by someone else. Moving forward, Microsoft plans to expand that functionality to other applications.
Microsoft already offered that capability in its Web apps, but this update brings the same features to the native Windows desktop apps. It comes close to two months after Microsoft launched Windows 10, the latest major update to its operating system for tablets and phones.
The update also brings support for features that make Office easier to use, like a "Tell Me" box that lets users search for a particular in-app function like setting line spacing without navigating the myriad series of buttons and menus available inside Office apps that control every little feature. While Office's full-featured nature makes it more powerful for users with particular needs, that same functionality can seem confusing to users who don't need it.
Those features and others add up to a product that could be more appealing to users who might otherwise choose to try out and use a productivity suite from one of Microsoft's competitors. Google announced Monday that there are 1 million businesses actively using its Drive for Work collaboration and storage product, in addition to a larger number of individual consumer users.
Customers with an existing Office 365 subscription can download the update for free starting today, and those without one can purchase a subscription to get access to the new applications. In addition, Microsoft will let users buy a standalone retail version of the product without paying an ongoing fee.
Looking forward, there's plenty of news on the horizon after Tuesday's launch. As part of its transition to providing Office as a service though Office 365, Microsoft will be pushing frequent updates to this new version of Office. Those include support for real-time coauthoring in PowerPoint and the company's new GigJam service that makes it easier for users to work together across multiple services and applications.
Microsoft announced Tuesday that it has begun offering GigJam in a private beta, and it plans to make it available in Office 365 sometime next year.
