Study Shows That an Increasing Number of Millennial Women Are Refusing to Shave Their Armpits
The folks at Mintel think that chemicals have something to do with it.
By Karen Belz	· May 26, 2017 October 26, 2020
This article originally appeared on HelloGiggles.
You might not believe it, but studies back it up: More millennial women are refusing to shave their armpits. (And yes, studies about this do, actually, exist.)
Back in 2013, roughly 95% of women reported going bare in there. But these days? That number has dropped to 77%. That's quite a jump, and we think it's pretty cool. Body hair is a personal choice, but letting your armpits go au naturel definitely has its perks. For one? It'll save you plenty of time in the morning.
And, that same study — which was performed by a group called Mintel — revealed it wasn't just underarms. Only 85% of women shave their legs, when the initial report was at around 92%.
Well, the folks at Mintel think that chemicals have something to do with it. Women now, more than ever, are more aware of the products they use.
"There's also some pushing back against societal expectations of what women should look like," said Roshida Khanom, associate director in beauty and personal care at Mintel.
While we don't do things because celebrities do them, we're definitely influenced. And it can't hurt that stars like Paris Jackson and Lola Kirke have been rocking the no-shave look on the red carpet. They've also been fighting back against body shamers, proving that women don't need to look a certain way in order to be powerful.
While hair trends come and go, we think it's amazing that women today aren't ashamed to showcase their natural hair. It's about time that the attitude on body hair changed up a bit.

Anywhere is Everywhere is A Circular Tale presents the 1,026 mile, 21 hour and 57 minute journey to all places in England called Denton. Only visited virtually, the sights are second-hand, seen through others eyes.
Anywhere is Everywhere is A Circular Tale presents the 1,026 mile, 21 hour and 57 minute journey to all 11 places in England called Denton. The trip is negotiated by internet-based maps, which provides the 301 steps of detailed instructions. Postcards, photographs and other ephemera from the journey are presented to form a comprehensive retelling of the tale. However, the places have only been visited virtually, the sights are seen through others' eyes, the descriptions are second-hand and the impressions gained only through what is seen on the artist's computer screen at home.
With her PhD background in Fine Art and Philosophy, Dr. Chris Wright approaches art from a conceptual perspective. Her work constantly evokes questions, questions that do not necessarily generate definitive answers. Her new body of work Anywhere is Everywhere is A Circular Tale tells a fictional journey that travels to 11 communities called Denton in England and culminates in its final destination Denton, Texas. The work is a narrative that comprises moments, places, time, and space. This mediated and fictive aspect of the work inevitably elicits and generates questions. Two critical ones that come to mind are "What actually constitutes borders, be it geographical, national, or cultural?" and "To what extent is our sense of boundary and community actively imagined, while momently constructed through language, images, printed matters, Internet, and mass media?

Biografia
Nel 1985, insieme a Piergiorgio Bellocchio, ha fondato e diretto la rivista di critica Diario.
Dal 1983 ha insegnato letteratura italiana contemporanea come professore associato presso l'Università di Venezia. Si è polemicamente dimesso nel 1995, in aperta critica con il sistema corporativo della cultura in Italia. Polemista colto e raffinato, ha fatto della "critica della cultura" il suo privilegiato campo d'azione.

Residente a Tuscania,  ha diretto dal 2007 al 2009 la collana "Prosa e Poesia" della casa editrice Libri Scheiwiller di Milano. Ha inoltre vinto il Premio Viareggio nel 2002, nella sezione Saggistica, così come il Premio Napoli e il Premio Cardarelli per la critica letteraria nel 2008.

Having trouble with my site. It is running really slowly/not loading at all. GoDaddy says that some of it is on their end as there are server issues today.
I don't have a slide show and I don't know anything about this. When I click ok in the pop up box I get an error message.
This doesn't happen every time.
EDIT: now I am getting this pop up all over the place. When I dismiss the pop up box, it takes me back to the menu. I have received the following errors: theme-editor.php, plugins.php and post.php.
I am really in a jam here. I sure hope someone can help.
Based on what you said it appears to be on GoDaddy's end. Not much you can do.
Hello and thanks for replying. Seems to have sorted itself. I appreciate your time very much.

Living Madly – A Life on the Beach
Emilie-Noelle Provost
The first time I visited the Provincetown area of Cape Cod, also known as the Outer Cape, was in 1990. I was 19 years old. It was the summer after my freshman year of college, June, before the tourist season was in full swing. The nighttime air still carried a chill.
I was with my boyfriend at the time, Jason, who is today one of my best friends. He wanted to show me where he had vacationed with his family every year while growing up: a row of identical cottages in North Truro set along the shore of a rocky beach on Cape Cod Bay.
That first outing eventually led to a new summer tradition, one of dozens of trips Jason and I would make to those North Truro cottages, first with our friends and then with our spouses and children.
Over the years, the sand and tides and starry evening sky have become containers holding the memories of marriage proposals, longed-for pregnancies, children digging in the sand, intense late-night conversations, bad coffee from the store across the street, countless games of cards, paperback novels, terrible jokes, and many times, especially when we were younger, far too much beer, the purchase of which always seeming to trigger an endless quest for ice.
The first time my husband, Rob, and I brought our daughter, Madelaine, to the beach in North Truro she was 9 months old. We have photographs of her there as a toddler wearing a purple bathing suit, her face and arms covered in melted ice cream and sand. There are shots of her as a moody middle schooler hiding beneath a beach umbrella, and as a teenager paddling Jason's sea kayak around the bay.
Photos courtesy of Emilie-Noelle Provost.
Madelaine, who will turn 21 this year, has grown up thinking of Jason, his wife, Annette, and their son, Connor, as family. The Outer Cape is one of the most special places in the world to her, so much so that last summer she got a tattoo in Provincetown as a way to carry the place with her always.
From cottage windows overlooking Cape Cod Bay we have seen spectacular electrical storms, watched humpback whales at play, and spotted scores of harbor seals, their adorable round faces popping up among the waves when you least expect to see them. I once found the sun-bleached rib bone of a whale wedged among the rocks on the beach. A couple of years ago, on a rainy day, we took a drive and discovered an enormous patch of rare eastern prickly pear cactus. I still have photographs of it on my phone.
While we were busy having fun, that rock-strewn North Truro beach and its neat row of cottages, a place we more or less took for granted when we were young, has become part of who we are, forever woven into the fabric of our lives.
By inviting my family to stay with them in North Truro every summer, Jason and Annette have made it possible for me, a Gen X latchkey kid who grew up with divorced parents and without many family traditions, to enjoy and appreciate a beautiful place over a period of decades and provide my own child with experiences that have given her lifelong memories and a sense of tradition that I hope she can someday pass on to her own children.
The first time I visited the Outer Cape, I was a college student who had no idea what path my life would take. When I visit now, a professional writer who has been happily married for 23 years, it's hard not to feel a bit awed by the way a place can always seem to stay the same while you relentlessly age and develop and change. Perhaps it's the constancy of the beach that makes it so special: You don't have to look far to unearth the person you were at 20 or 32 or 43. It helps you appreciate how far you've come.
There's less beer in the cottage these days, and we seem to get to bed much earlier. It's also become easier to recognize the few days Jason's family and mine get to spend together at the beach each summer for what they are: a gift.

The Art Stimulates Art Series: Is there a Magic Ingredient to Success?
Lots going on this week on SYTYCD. First off, I LOVE that the producers of the show responded to the fans who did not like the contestants kicked off at the beginning of the show. Often people stick to their guns and do things just because they can. SYTYCD showed a lot of class by listening. I think listening and responding is a great skill and it takes a really good show and moves it up into the excellent category for me. I was also happy to see Paula Abdul on the show after ten years. I'd love to see more of her in the future.
I do have a favorite performance of the week. Aaron and Jasmine captured my attention again. No surprise that I'm partial to dead girls. PS My favorite part is when it looks like Jasmine puts her hand right through Aaron's chest. Brilliant!
There was something else I noticed about this show. I'm consistently seeing strong performances from some of the same dancers over and over again. But that hasn't guaranteed success. During voting, some are in the bottom three and some appear untouchable. This can not attributed to just their dance ability alone. There are some fabulous technical dancers that don't have the same fan base as some of the other, less experienced or well rounded dancers. The difference appears to be in how they connect with the audience. They bring a magic ingredient–some secret mixture of presence, emotion, connection and possibly luck. I think.
I've witnessed a similar phenomena in writing. I've read many books in my life that were amazing, but they never go viral. It isn't because they aren't something special. It's because they are missing that magic ingredient. And before you ask–no–I don't know what it is. I wish I did. Here is what I do know…I've listened to authors speak that I've never hear of before and because of the experience, I became a life-long fan of them and their work. Making a personal connection seems to be important. It's also easier said than done. I also ponder what comes first…the chicken or the egg? Do certain dancers and authors get more air time, face time, marketing time because they have that special, magical quality? Or do contestants and authors that are well marketed have an advantage? Then there's timing, luck and plain old hard work thrown into the mix. I do not know what the secret recipe is.
I suspect that you don't have the answers either, but I sure would like to hear what your suspicions are. What do you think that magical element is for any artist to go viral? What's your favorite book that didn't get the attention you think it deserves? Which dancer on SYTYCD is going to be the worst casualty because they are a great dancer, but just don't seem to have the magic ingredient?

Scarecrows is a wildly underrated horror film from the '80s. Director William Wesley's 1988 supernatural thriller is creepy and packed with action, a rare hybrid that easily plays in both genres without missing a grisly beat. More importantly, Scarecrows is bloody good fun that genre fans will lap up. While the script doesn't reinvent the horror genre, the titular scarecrows make for memorable horror villains.
Scarecrows takes place over the course of one very dark night, mostly in an abandoned graveyard. Five former commandos pull off a multi-million dollar heist, taking a pilot and his daughter hostage as they commandeer a plane headed for Mexico. Things fall apart for the ex-military thieves when one of their own double-crosses them, parachuting out of the plane with the stolen money. Bert's parachute lands near an abandoned house with the money, hoping to make a clean getaway. The house is oddly fronted by three of the creepiest scarecrows you'll ever see in its front-yard. It is immediately apparent something truly evil has gone down at this property, like the Manson family use it as their vacation home or something.
The team of commandos naturally go after Bert and the money. Carrying enough artillery for a small army as Bert is on his own, the soldiers think he will be easy prey once they land the plane. They are so, so wrong. What Bert and the soldiers don't know is that this abandoned house is lorded over by three supernatural scarecrows which are shockingly intelligent for boogeymen in a horror movie. While the scarecrows have the same taste for human blood and dismemberment as most movie monsters, they aren't the mindless killing machines of a Jason or Michael Myers. It's interesting to see their conflict with the over-matched soldiers and how the scarecrows surprise them at every turn.
The action-horror hybrid works so well because many fans have wished to see fully-armed soldiers take on the supernatural. You would think their guns and training should give them a huge leg up on the average Joe when facing down supernatural scarecrows with a penchant for killing. Characters in horror movies are almost always powerless to directly confront the evil monster and take them out. They usually need help of some kind from an outside force. Scarecrows gives these trained soldiers a full gauntlet of weapons to battle the menacing creatures, lulling the audience into a false sense of security. The soldiers are as helpless as the random teenagers that get killed in most slashers.
This film was dying for one of the commandos to be played by a major icon like Arnold or Stallone.
Scarecrows may have become a huge horror classic with a more charismatic cast. Everything else hits on all cylinders. The pilot's daughter is the one truly innocent character in the entire film and plays a central role. Victoria Christian mostly sleepwalks through the role as a forgettable ingenue. This film was dying for one of the commandos to be played by a major icon like Arnold or Stallone. They would have invested far more personality and charisma into the commandos as characters. The soldiers end up being hammy more than anything else, though I guess some might find that a part of the film's charm.
Scarecrows is a scary film that drips with atmosphere for jaded horror viewers. Its story has a hint of plausibility from the real world that creates a grounded sense of unease. By the end, many will likely be rooting for the scarecrows to finish the job since the criminals aren't good people to begin with and deserve their grisly fates. This is a minor lost gem from the 1980s that shouldn't be forgotten and will likely gain new fans with this outstanding home edition.
Scream Factory issues Scarecrows in a satisfactory Hi-Def presentation for this Blu-ray. The 1988 film has been licensed from MGM, which has led to inconsistent video results in the past. This is not so with Scarecrows, it has a fine film transfer from elements in solid condition with few blemishes. The unrated, uncut 83-minute main feature is presented in its original 1.85:1 aspect ratio at 1080P resolution. That is encoded in AVC on a BD-50, averaging a fantastic 35 Mbps for the transparent video encode.
The atmospheric film takes place almost entirely at night, so lighting conditions are not always perfect for every shot. Peter Deming's cinematography has decent depth for a low-budget horror production from the Eighties. Black levels slightly crush shadow delineation, though hold up surprisingly well most of the time. The softest scenes include the scarecrows themselves, including some older special effect shots that look a couple of generations away from the negative. Scarecrows provides fairly solid fine detail.
The film transfer may not be a new scan from pristine elements; it is more likely this master was struck by MGM as a telecine or done at 2K resolution a couple of years ago. It doesn't really matter. The printing elements must be close to the negative. A few specks of dirt don't intrude.
Fans should be pleased by this unprocessed film transfer. It is film-like in appearance without significant processing, leaving in as much 35mm film detail as possible in the 1080P video. The grain structure is unobtrusive, slightly exacerbated by the higher-generation print from which the master is struck. Scarecrows is not demo material but you can't ask for much more from it than this good-looking catalog transfer. Hints of artificial noise hide in the film's grainier shots.
The 5.1 DTS-HD MA audio has expansive surround cues and packs solid bass. A much smaller-in-scope 2.0 DTS-HD MA presentation has less of an impact. The surround mix is the way to go, even for die-hard purists. The 5.1 mix simply has a bigger, better sound with effective ambiance. It appears to have been completely remixed from the original stems for bone-crunching sound in crisp quality. This is definitely some of the finer vintage sound I've heard from a forgotten horror movie, the recording has extended dynamic range and clean fidelity.
Optional English subtitles display in a white font.
Scarecrows was originally meant to be a double feature for Scream Factory, until fans demanded a special edition loaded with bonus features. The horror imprint of Shout Factory has long been known for creating new special features for a wide array of genre films on Blu-ray. Scarecrows gets two audio commentaries and finds key cast and crew giving new interviews on their experiences. It's a sweet package that adds up to an essential purchase.
Audio Commentary With Director William Wesley and Producer Cami Winikoff – This is a flowing, loose back-and-forth with a third person as moderator to keep things going. They share a number of amusing stories about making Scarecrows and their memories of the cast. Wesley had been making documentaries before Scarecrows and recounts his participation in shaping its final product. I found this highly enjoyable and an easy listen.
Audio Commentary With Co-Screenwriter Richard Jefferies, DP Peter Deming, and Composer Terry Plumeri – This is a faux commentary, as it really combines three separate audio interviews with each man talking about their area of expertise. They don't directly address the action on screen. Jefferies is a blast, revealing some fun anecdotes and also talking about another project he worked on, The Vagrant. Despite this not being an actual commentary, the interviews are informative and help reveal how Scarecrows was made.
Stills Gallery – Dozens of still photographs from the set and publicity.
Original Storyboards (03:48 in HD) The storyboards play in sequence without needing the user's input.
The Last Straw (16:35 in HD) – An Interview with special make-up effects creator Norman Cabrera. He goes over his background and the kind of creativity needed for this job. It's a highly effective featurette for FX hounds.
Cornfield Commando (08:46 in HD) – Actor Ted Vernon fondly recalls working on the movie and his beloved dog that also appeared in the movie in this new interview. Vernon is very proud to have worked on Scarecrows and wishes it had received a theatrical release at the time.

Currently based in Melbourne, Nicholas was born in Sydney and began piano studies there at the age of six with Alison Salkeld, gaining his Associate and Licentiate Diplomas (Australian Music Examinations Board) both with Distinction in 2004 and 2005 respectively. He subsequently studied with Daniel Herscovitch and was awarded his Fellowship Diploma in 2009 at the age of eighteen.
Nicholas pursued further artistic training through the Bachelor of Music (Performance) degree at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music as a recipient of the University of Sydney Outstanding Achievement Scholarship. He graduated in 2013 with First Class Honours and University Medal for his research and performances of Busoni's original compositions for solo piano. Nicholas subsequently undertook Masters studies at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg with Claudius Tanski, graduating with Distinction (mit Auszeichnung) and the highest possible grades in all performance and academic components. In support of this period of study, he was awarded the Marten Bequest Travelling Scholarship (Instrumental Music Category) in 2014. The esteemed teachers from whom Nicholas has taken masterclasses include Dmitri Bashkirov, Christian Zacharias, Robert Levin, Dominique Merlet, Jacques Rouvier, Lars Vogt, Lang Lang and many others.
Since winning his first medal at the age of six, Nicholas has gained a steadily growing reputation through his appearances in various festivals and competitions. His first major prize as the winner of the 8th Yamaha Australian Youth Piano Competition in 2007 was followed by further important accolades including Winner of the 2011 ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers Award (Keyboard Category), Runner-Up Prize of the 2012 Australian Youth Classical Music Competition, Second Prize of the 2012 Australian National Piano Award and Winner of the 2016 Allison/Henderson Sydney Eisteddfod Piano Scholarship.
In 2015, Nicholas extended his successes to the international level, receiving that year First Prize and Best Beethoven Performance of the 'Grand Prize Virtuoso' International Music Competition (London), Third Prize of the 15th Rome International Piano Competition (Soloists 'B'), and Honourable Mentions at the 7th International Rosario Marciano Piano Competition (Vienna) and 1st International Cochran Piano Competition. He has since garnered further acclaim as a collaborative pianist, winning First Prize of the 2019 Queensland International Chamber Music Competition (Brisbane) as founding member of the double-reeded piano trio Ensemble Françaix.
Nicholas has given solo and chamber performances in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the UK in such iconic venues as the Sydney Opera House, Melbourne Recital Centre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, London Wigmore Hall & Steinway Hall, Munich Gasteig and Vienna Ehrbar Hall.

Rockway Valley est un hameau ou village compris dans le territoire de la municipalité du canton d'Amherst, au Québec (Canada).

Toponymie
Le lieu doit son nom aux parois rocheuses qui enclosent la vallée dans laquelle il se trouve.

Il est parfois orthographié Rockaway Valley.

Géographie
Rockway Valley est situé dans le quadrant sud-est du canton d'Amherst, à la limite des municipalités de Boileau et d'Huberdeau. La localité est drainée par le ruisseau Iroquois, un affluent de la rivière Rouge.

En opération sur une base intermittente depuis 1963, la carrière Dolostone est un site d'extraction du marbre dolomitique et du gneiss pour la production de pierre concassée et architecturale.

Histoire
Le hameau prend forme lors de la colonisation anglophone de la vallée de la Rouge, vers la fin du . Les familles protestantes Neil et Sinclair, originaires de Londonderry en Irlande, sont les premières à s'établir en permanence à Rockway Valley en avril 1877. Le hameau fait alors partie d'un circuit missionnaire anglican basé à Lachute, en Argenteuil.

Dans les années 1870 et 1880, les hommes de Rockway Valley doivent s'exiler dans les chantiers de coupes forestières jusqu'à Labelle, voire Mont-Laurier afin d'assurer un revenu d'appoint. En raison du faible rendement des terres et de l'isolement géographique et culturel, plusieurs colons quittent vers les Prairies dans la décennie 1890.

Une église anglicane en bois, de plan rectangulaire, est construite par Charles et John Sinclair en 1912.

La découverte de gisements de silice, de graphite et de kaolin dans les environs catalyse le prolongement du chemin de fer du Canadien National, qui dessert Rockway Valley dès 1926. L'activité minière, en drainant la main-d'œuvre, contribue au déclin de l'activité agricole dans les environs. En 1945, les plans d'arpentage montrent une école et une scierie.

Dans les années 1960, Rockway Valley constitue la limite nord du peuplement anglophone dans les Laurentides. Même s'il subsiste quelques fermes laitières, communauté agricole anglo-protestante s'étiole ensuite peu à peu, au profit de l'arrivée de travailleurs francophones. Le magasin général avait été détruit par le feu en 1957, puis les églises et écoles de confession variée disparaissent ou sont reconverties. L'église Saint-George est démolie en 2011.

Not Just for Losers Anymore? »
Last Encounter with Carl Jung
Carl Gustav Jung, 1875–1961
Translated by Alex Kurtagic
This is a translation of the article by Serrano published by the Chilean newspaper El Mercurio in 1961, following Carl Jung's death.
It's six in the morning, 8 June. I open the doors to my room in New Delhi—doors which open to a small white terrace, already fulgurating with sunlight. The tremendous June heat starts early in the day. I am partially naked, and in a moment I will begin my yogic exercises of sun adoration, "Suryanamaskar." The trees' incredible verdure, even in this weather, and the birdsong of infinity, greet me. A servant, who is from around these parts, approaches me with that measured step of the Indians and says to me, "Salam, Sahib." It's his respectful greeting. He hands me a piece of paper. It's a telegram. I open it without hurry, almost absent-mindedly. I see that it comes from Zurich and it surprises me that this is the case. I begin reading and I am perplexed. The telegram reads as follows: "Dr. Jung died peacefully yesterday at noon. Best wishes." It is signed by Beiley and Jaffe: the young lady that kept him company, who walked him home—an extraordinary woman—; and his private secretary, a Swiss citizen.
A great sadness immobilizes me right there—my eyes are moist, perhaps because of the intense sun, or perhaps not. It was so recently that I had been with Dr. Jung, at his house in Küsnacht, next to Lake Zurich. I might have been the last foreign friend to see him. The news has hit me in the depths of my soul. I have had the enormous fortune of having been prefaced by Jung—that, having been the first and last time that he penned a preface for a purely literary work.
I received a letter from him at the time of our last year's earthquakes in Chile. He said, "Even if modern men of science will not accept it, there is a relationship between Nature and the soul. Mother Nature now attunes itself to our civilization and begins also to visit destruction. Unfortunately, it has been your country's turn this time. I have thought of Chile so much lately!"
The remembrance flies, I see its image, it's on my mind. So very recently I arrived at his house, amid a fine rain. Jung's house is in the outskirts of Zurich, in Künsnacht. At the entrance's portal there is a phrase in Latin that reads, more or less, "Think or not in God. He is always present." Inside there are paintings and beautiful objects, antique engravings, mediaeval paintings. I was received by Ms. Beiley, who invited me into a small living room, where she served us tea.
We talked about Dr. Jung. She told that me he had not been well during the last few days, feeling very tired as a result of working intensively on a 80-page essay he had written in longhand, as usual, directly in English for an American publication, and due to appear soon with the title "Man and his Myths." Ms. Beiley is very worried, as Jung has said to her, "I wish to go, but you tie me here." She does not believe him, as she thinks that Dr. Jung is still interested in life and the Earth. He has told me that "to die is also to go to Jung's collective Unconscious, only to then, from there, go back to the realm of forms, of forms . . ." Hesse has also told me that "Jung is a giant, a giant mountain in our time." And he has asked me to forward Jung his greetings—"the steppe wolf's greetings," he has said.
Jung has been unwell, it is true, but he's afflicted by no illness. That day he had felt better and even got up to receive me. Ms. Beiley asks that we go upstairs, but also that I don't stay long so as not to tire him. We entered his study. And there was Jung, on a chair, next to the window facing the lake. He's wearing a Japanese robe that makes him look like a Zen Buddhist monk, an old samurai, or a magus from earlier times. He is haloed by a crepuscular light, and he is surrounded by alchemical engravings and a great paining of the Hindu god Shiva on the summit of Mount Kailash.
He smiles with that smile of his, filled with cunning, wisdom, and benevolence. He reaches for his pipe, but fails. I tell him, "What a beautiful Japanese robe." It is a ceremonial robe. Out of my pocket I take box from Kashmir that I have brought him as a present. He looks at it and says, "It's made out of turquoise." And then he adds, "I've never been to Kashmir. I traversed the South of India; Madora—all those very 'interesting' places." He then talks to me about the Hindus and the Chinese; he makes reference to a book by a Chinese master of Zen Buddism, whose name I can't remember now, and he tells me that it is the best he has read on the subject. I transmit Hermann Hesse's greetings and I relate my conversation with that writer about death. I explain that I have asked him whether it is important to know that there is something beyond death. Jung meditates for a while and states that the question has been posted incorrectly—that I should have asked whether there is reason to believe that there is something beyond death.
I now ask Dr. Jung, "And what do you believe? Is there?" He answers, "if the human mind can operate independently of the brain, then it operates independently of space and time. And if it operates independently of space and time, it is incorruptible."
And what do you believe, Dr. Jung? What do you think?
I have seen men wounded by bullets to the brain during the war who have a lost all brain function and who nevertheless have dreams and are able to remember them afterwards. What is it they dream? There are small children, who don't yet have a defined self, whose consciousness is diffuse and spread over their bodies, yet who have deep and personal dreams that mark them for the rest of their lives. There is no self there. What is that other they dream?
Do you believe, Dr. Jung, that there exists something like a subtle body, an astral body, the "Linga-Sarira" of Hindu philosophy, which detaches itself upon death?
I don't know. I have seen objects materialize and mediums move objects from afar without touching them with their physical bodies.
And Dr. Jung continues:
Sometime ago I was very ill, almost in a coma; everybody thought that I would die and maybe even that I was suffering greatly, because in this condition one's body makes people believe that one is suffering. But in reality I felt as if I were floating and experienced a marvelous sense of freedom. I remembered it afterwards.
Dr. Jung always wore on his right hand a ring with a Gnostic gem. An Egyptian gem. We spoke about the meaning of that ring, and he explained, "All these symbols are alive in me." His memory and culture, even at the age of 85, was incredible.
At times he spoke like a poet, like a magus, like a mystic. One time he said to me, "My message is not wholly understood; only poets understand it."
Now I ask him:
What will happen to mankind in the coming technological supercivilization? Do you think that, in twenty years, anyone will care about the spirit of symbols, in the midst of the era of interplanetary journeys, with the Sputniks, the Gagarins, and the Shephards? Will not the spirit come to appear passé?
Dr. Jung smiles cunningly and states:
Sooner or later man will have to return to himself, even if from the stars. All this that is happening now is an extreme form of escapism, because it is easier to reach Mars than to find oneself. If man doesn't find himself, then he faces the greatest of dangers: his own annihilation. On journeys into outer space there is also an unconscious attempt to solve the gravest of all problems that man will have to face in the future: overpopulation.
Dr. Jung was going to continue talking about this very important topic when Ms. Beiley entered the room to say that Dr. Jung's daughter and son-in-law were waiting. I had not fulfilled my promise of a brief conversation.
But now I know it doesn't matter, because mine was to be his last interview. And something perhaps told me that this was the case, for when I reached the door I stopped and turned my head. Jung sat there staring at me, with a soft smile and lifting his hand in a gesture of farewell. His last one. The hand with the Gnostic ring. I bowed, respectfully.

If you've never heard of a 'dive bar', you'll have to join the queue.
Apparently this type of pub - not our words - is a place that only residents of the area visit and is known for being disreputable.
So, it's hard to know if these two Dublin establishments will be happy about their inclusion in the top 50 'best dive bars' in Europe.
Like most fads, the name for these type of haunts was first coined in America before making its way across the pond.
Big 7 Travel put together the list recently and one capital joint even carved its way into 10th on the list.
r.i.o.t in Dublin's Temple Bar broke into the top part of the list while Bruxelles on Harry's Street came in at number 30.
While Bruxelle doesn't associate with the scene on its website, several reviews compliment it for being one of the nicest 'dive' places that Europe has to offer.

"An Ethical and Social Interpretation of Crime Through the Concepts of 'Linkedness' and 'Integration-Disintegration'. Applications to Restorative Justice"
Source: (1998) In Restorative justice for juveniles: Potentialities, risks and problems for research, ed. Lode Walgrave, 137-156. A selection of papers presented at the International Conference, Leuven, May 12-14, 1997. With a preface by Lode Walgrave. Leuven, Belgium: Leuven University Press.
During the study of various cases of serious crime we could conclude that delinquency can be seen as (more than only litterally: "de -linq-uency") the lack of a link, and that 're-ligon' (in its broadest sense as linking again) logically should be the answer. Against the background of a fragmented postmodern society characterised by ethical pluralization, cultural alienation from nature and overinstitutionalisation, generally seen as tendencies of a society in disintegration, the concept of linkedness could give a fundamental answer to the prevention of crime during our research in 14 basic schools in Belgium, and seems to be very applicable to the domain restorative justice.

What Planet Crosses the Orbital Path of Neptune?

2 Jupiter's Length of Rotation & Revolution
3 Geological Traits of Saturn
4 What Planet Gives Off 2 Times as Much Heat as it Receives From the Sun?
While there technically isn't a single planet that crosses Neptune's orbit, the dwarf planet Pluto's orbit does bring it across Neptune's path around the sun. Before Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet, there were times when its orbit brought it closer to the sun than Neptune, causing the two planets to switch places.
Reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, Pluto has a highly eccentric elliptical orbit that does bring it across the orbital path of the planet Neptune. For 20 years out of its 248-year orbit around the sun, Pluto is actually closer to the center of our solar system than Neptune. At its furthest orbital distance, Pluto is over 48 times more distant from the sun than Earth. At its closest orbital distance, Pluto is just over 30 times the Earth-sun distance away from the center of our solar system. When it is furthest from the sun, most of the dwarf planet's wispy atmosphere is believed to freeze and essentially disappear.
The decision to "demote" Pluto to the status of dwarf planet was prompted mostly by the discovery of small planet-like bodies orbiting the sun that are even further away than Pluto. One of those bodies, an object called Eris, actually appeared to be bigger than Pluto -- igniting a debate over the former ninth planet's status. To resolve the issue, the International Astronomical Union revised the definition of a planet and re-categorized Pluto. The new trouble-making body has appropriately been dubbed Eris -- after the Greek goddess of discord. While Eris was eventually found to be about the same size as Pluto, scientists have determined that it is 25 percent more massive because it contains more ice and less rock. Eris takes 557 years to orbit the sun.
The fourth object to be identified as a dwarf planet and one of the objects responsible for Pluto's demotion is Makemake -- pronounced "mah-kee-mah-kee." It was named after a Polynesian god of fertility. Makemake's orbit is outside that of Pluto, but closer to the sun than Eris, taking approximately 310 years to complete. The orbit carries the dwarf planet as far out as 53 times the Earth-sun distance and as close as 38 times that distance. Makemake is slightly smaller than Pluto.
Originally named 2003 EL61, the planetary object that would become known as Haumea was eventually reclassified to become the fifth dwarf planet in our solar system. Named after the Hawaiian goddess of childbirth and fertility, Haumea takes 285 years to orbit the sun. At its closest distance to the sun, Haumea is 34 times the Earth-sun distance -- still further than Neptune's most distant orbital point, which is just over 30 times the Earth-sun distance. Haumea is most notable for its oblong shape that resembles a flattened American football.

In Parts 1 to 4 of the Horrible Boss series, we discussed the literature behind managerial effectiveness in terms of the five core requirements of managing and the key dimensions necessary for effectiveness in a job as a manager. In Parts 2 – 4, we identified Mental Processing Capability and Skills and Knowledge as the first two dimensions. In Part 5 we will be discussing Application as the third and final dimension, comprising the framework for understanding the root causes of the "Horrible Boss." Part 5 concludes with a brief discussion on the symptoms of a manager who fails in application, leading to problems between a direct report and his or her manager.
In order to be effective, managers need to have the skills and knowledge to perform and the level of capability to properly set context and boundaries for their direct reports. A critical part of effectiveness and success as a boss that is often overlooked is the actual application of those skills. In this context, application refers to work value, in terms of the person valuing the work such that they fully apply themselves to the work.
What often happens in organizations is that front line employees who have been very successful at doing the work move up in the company to become front line mangers. While this is a promotion, if the employee doesn't value the work of a manager – meeting with the team, delegating, evaluating, performance management, and so on – they will not be effective. As a long term employee, if you value being a tradesman and do not value being a manager, even after being promoted to manager, the "managerial work" is not where your heart is. It's not the work you value and as a consequence, it's not where you will put your time and effort. You will not be applying your full capabilities.
Moving up in an organization can happen at any level. Yet, when employees move up to the director level, it's typically the first time they will be managing managers. If they don't value this aspect of management, then they simply will not apply themselves fully to that important aspect of their work.
Management – and more specifically, managing people – is not easy work. It's important to realize that it's not an "add on", but a core part of the job and an integral part of the five requirements for effective management. Doing the value-added work that only you, in your position, with your capability can do is part of it, but there is also planning, delegating, setting context and boundaries, and establishing feedback loops. Each of these aspects of managing requires the same degree of application and capability and energy as any of the others. If one doesn't value coaching their direct report's performance feedback sessions, or team meetings, then those specific things will be neglected and the team will not be as effective as they should (or could) be.
Symptoms of failure in terms of application can be seen in a variety of ways. For instance, managers who are consistently late with performance management reviews, always constrained for time, and/or always cancelling important meetings, are not applying themselves fully. In this scenario, direct report managers fail to get the direction and formal feedback that they need to succeed whether it's through team meetings, coaching, or otherwise. It is in these situations where direct report managers will find that context is not being properly set. A final symptom may be that the manager will intervene directly in the direct report manager's work. Instead of providing the coaching that the direct report expects (and needs), the manager will roll up his or her sleeves and do the work him or herself. This is because he or she values the work at the direct report's level more than they value doing the managerial aspects of their own job.

What Jose Mourinho has been telling Manchester United players behind the scenes
Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho has been keeping his players' spirits up behind the scenes following a testing few weeks at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho has told his United players 'to keep our confidence and keep doing well' behind the scenes, according to Andreas Pereira.
It has not been the easiest start to the season for Mourinho after United dropped points against Brighton, Spurs, West Ham and Wolves in the Premier League and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Derby.
Mourinho's future has come under scrutiny in that period and the 55-year-old admitted those reports about his future had 'bothered' him - but his side have responded in recent weeks.
Following a dramatic comeback against Newcastle, from two goals down, United earned a 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and Mourinho's message appears to be getting through to the players.
"It was difficult at the start of the game but like the manager has said to us we need to keep our confidence and keep doing well and in the second-half we scored two very good goals and then in the end we were a bit unlucky with the second goal we conceded," Pereira told reporters.

"But I think we did very well and deserved more and we take a good feeling into the next game."
For the second successive game, United went into half-time behind and needing a big team talk at the break at Stamford Bridge and, to their credit, they rallied.
Anthony Martial's two goals looked to have given United a rare win in SW6 before Ross Barkley's equaliser at the death. But Pereira is taking the positives from the performance.
"We have shown that we can bounce back and that we still have faith and we are the Man United that everyone talks about, it's never finished with us," he added.
"We can always bounce back and change a game around and if we keep doing well hopefully more wins will come."

A screen-used prop lightweight throwing-knife, employed by breathtaking American actress, Halle Berry, as Giacinta 'Jinx' Johnson in Die Another Day.
Acquired directly from the production's SFX Team, this knife is from Jinx's famous utility belt, worn in conjunction with her leather combat outfit. Jinx uses the knives in her epic battle against Miranda Frost, played by English rose, Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), during the life and death struggle on board Gustav Graves' plummeting plane.
Initially, Jinx appears to be outclassed by Frost's much vaunted sword skills, but she skillfully evades her opponent, retrieves one of her throwing knives at a key moment and rams it into Miranda's chest, killing her instantly.
This lightweight composite throwing-knife is painted with reflective silver paint and is displayed in a custom-made display-case, along with a series of production photographs, showing Jinx with the throwing knives. Anti-glare glass protects the exhibit from sunlight and a removable lid allows easy access to the weapon at any time.
