When you find out the meaning of this word, you will know the reason it is divine to forgive. With this you dissolve someone's heartache of making a mistake into the balm of your kindness. It is a Verb.
Its first usage dates back to 15th century and it has originated from two words .i.e. ab, which means from and 'solvere', which means to loosen.
Absolve is near to solve not only in the sound, but also very near to the meaning of solve. Well, figuratively at least. When you solve someone's problem, you free that person from a worry and when you absolve someone, you free that person too from either a responsibility or guilt.

Q: Attempting to use a delegate that only supports static-sized tensors with a graph that has dynamic-sized tensors I tried to compile a tflite model to edgetpu model and run into some error like that.
Edge TPU Compiler version 16.0.384591198
Started a compilation timeout timer of 180 seconds.
ERROR: Attempting to use a delegate that only supports static-sized tensors with a graph that has dynamic-sized tensors.
Compilation failed: Model failed in Tflite interpreter. Please ensure model can be loaded/run in Tflite interpreter.
Compilation child process completed within timeout period.
Compilation failed!

I define my model like that:
preprocess_input = tf.keras.applications.efficientnet.preprocess_input

def Model(image_size=IMG_SIZE):
    input_shape = image_size + (3,)
    inputs = tf.keras.Input(shape=input_shape)
    x = preprocess_input(inputs)
    base_model = tf.keras.applications.efficientnet.EfficientNetB0(input_shape=input_shape, include_top=False, weights="imagenet")
    base_model.trainable = False
    x = base_model(x, training=False)
    x = tfl.GlobalAvgPool2D()(x)
    x = tfl.Dropout(rate=0.2)(x)
    outputs = tfl.Dense(90, activation='softmax')(x)
    model = tf.keras.Model(inputs, outputs)

    return model

The model summary is like that:

I convert to tflite model like that:
converter = tf.lite.TFLiteConverter.from_keras_model(model)

# Defining the representative dataset from training images.
def representative_dataset_gen():
    for image, label in train_dataset.take(100):
        yield [image]

converter.optimizations = [tf.lite.Optimize.DEFAULT]
converter.representative_dataset = representative_dataset_gen

# Using Integer Quantization.
converter.target_spec.supported_ops = [tf.lite.OpsSet.TFLITE_BUILTINS_INT8]
# Setting the input and output tensors to uint8.
converter.inference_input_type = tf.uint8
converter.inference_output_type = tf.uint8

tflite_model = converter.convert()

if not os.path.isdir('exported'):
        os.mkdir('exported')

with open('/workspace/eff/exported/groups_1.tflite', 'wb') as f:
    f.write(tflite_model)

Environment:

*

*Edge TPU Compiler version 16.0.384591198

*Python version 3.6.9

*tensorflow 1.15.3

When looking for solutions on google, someone said you need to get rid of the preprocess_input, I'm not sure what that means.
How can I check if there is a dynamic shape tensor in the model
and how can I fix it?

The stability of carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt is related to DS (degree of substitution) and the solution with higher DS is more stable. However, the viscosity of carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt solution will decrease in storage and the lowering speed changes with products, so it cannot be stored for a long time after carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt is prepared into solution.
Degree of substitution is an important chemical index of carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt. carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt is a cellulose derivative and still keep the polymer structure of cellulose, linked by plenty of anhydrous glucose groups. Furthermore, every anhydrous glucose group has three hydroxyl groups and can be replaced by carboxymethyl. It must be noted that the degree of substitution is an average number. With the increase of DS, the transparency and stability of the solution will improve accordingly, and in this way the solubility changes with degree of substitution as well.
Purity refers to the percentage of pure carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt in oven dry products. During the production process, it may contain the impurity such as sodium chloride and sodium carbonate because of incomplete reaction and side reaction. Whether purification is needed or not depends on the customer demands and the general CMC food grade purity is 99.5% while the technical grade is produced according to customer demands. For example, if it is used in synthetic detergent, since impurity doesn't affect its quality, there is no need for purification and the purity is usually 55-75%. If it is used in toothpaste, since there is high requirement for the content of sodium chloride, the purity needs to be over 96%.
Viscosity (of the aqueous solution) is the most important physical and chemical indicator of carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt, since it is mostly prepared as colloidal solution for use. It's worth noting that carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt aqueous solution belongs to non-Newtonian fluids, expressed in two aspects: pseudo plasticity and thixotropy.
Since carboxymethyl is not averagely substituted into the molecular chain of cellulose, in the measurement of viscosity, even for the same solution, the viscosity with more shearing stress, leading to high flow rate will be lower than that with less shearing stress and then low flow rate. Then the result is the pseudo plasticity. Thixotropy phenomenon happens in this way. When carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution is let sit for some time, the viscosity of the solution with low thixotropy will slightly increase while that with high thixotropy will even congeal into gel state. Then, heavily stirring can destroy the structure of gel, and with appropriate stirring again, it can return to the original viscosity.
There are many factors influencing the viscosity, such as pH value, temperature and storage period, of which storage period of the solution is the leading factor. Consequently, only with unified viscosity measurement methods, can unified results be obtained.

Critical Speaker Series Presents Dr. Dorothy Hale.
« Furst Forum Speaker Dr. Marsha Collins, "Cervantes's Novel Friendship"
Critical Speakers Series Presents Dr. Dorothy Hale »
On Thursday, November 4 and Friday, November 5, we'll be joined in person by Dr. Dorothy Hale. Dr. Hale is Professor of English at Berkeley, where her research and teaching focus on the Anglo-American novel, theories of the novel, and problems of novelistic form. Her most recent book, The Novel and the New Ethics, published by Stanford University Press in 2020, explores how the contemporary emphasis on the social value of the novel has its roots in modernism's emphasis on narrative form, and especially in the work of Henry James. Her lecture, "'I slip into your skin': Girl, Woman, Other & the Novelistic Aesthetics of Alterity," promises to be an exciting conclusion to the Critical Speaker Series' fall lineup!
As a kind of post-script to the work of her most recent book, The Novel and the New Ethics, Hale will speak about the ways in which she sees Bernardine Evaristo's Girl, Woman, Other fitting into her argument that "crucial to the contemporary understanding of fiction's social value is a belief in fiction's power to offer a meaningful encounter with otherness" (Hale in Stanford University Press's blog post). Her lecture centers what she sees as Evaristo's contributions to the work of contemporary novelists who "have helped to consolidate a novelistic aesthetics of alterity." In her lecture, Hale will explore questions like " By what power, right, or ability does the novelist slip into the skin of social others? In Girl, Woman, Other which of the twelve characters in this multi-perspectival novel seem to pose no barrier to authorial inhabitation? Which characters resist authorial omniscience? How does Evaristo's use of what she calls "close third person" establish the ethical possibilities of and limitations to representing characterological personhood? How does this novel's innovative use of typography contribute to or detract from the representation of characterological personhood as point of view?" (blog post)
The lecture will be held in Wilson Library's Pleasants Family Assembly Room at 3:00 PM.

Police report: Counterfeit money passed at Flanders gas station
A Southampton man reported last week that he had received counterfeit bills from the USA gas station on Flanders Road in Flanders on two occasions, according to police.
The man told police last Monday that he received a counterfeit $5 dollar bill that same day and had received a counterfeit $10 bill over the summer.
He said the bills were passed to him after buying gasoline and receiving change, and that he didn't know they were counterfeit until he tried to make a purchase and was told they were fakes.
The town detective division and the U.S. Secret Service were notified and the counterfeit bill was taken by police, according to a report.
• A Riverhead man told Southampton Town police that a car crossed into oncoming traffic last Monday afternoon on Flanders Road in Flanders and collided with his vehicle before leaving the scene.
The incident took place around 4:40 p.m., according to police, who said the Riverhead man suffered a wrist injury in the accident and was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center for treatment. The suspect in the other took car fled in an unknown direction and wasn't caught, police said.
• A Flanders man was arrested after he hit another person at his Flanders home Sunday afternoon, police said.
Charles Roach stuck someone multiple times in the head and face, "causing pain and physical injury," according to police, who did not identify the victim. The victim did not require hospitalization, police said. Mr. Roach was charged with third-degree assault.
• An unidentified person broke a front picture window as well as a second-floor window on a bank-owned home on Oak Avenue in Flanders last Thursday, police said.
There were footprints detected in the snow leading to a back door, which was ajar, according to police, who indicated they did not find any squatters living in the house.
Those who are named in police reports have not been convicted of any crime or violation. The charges against them may later be reduced or withdrawn, or they may be found innocent.

DIRT REPORT
Clean up on Aisle 1: Pier 1 Store Violates ADA Laws
On March 5, 2015, the Ninth Circuit held in Chapman v. Pier 1 Imports (U.S.) Inc. that a Pier 1 store located in Vacaville, California, was violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. Byron Chapman, an individual using a motorized wheelchair, claimed that on each of his 11 visits to the Pier 1 store in 2011 and 2012, the store failed to maintain accessible routes for wheelchair users and that various aisles throughout the store were obstructed with large items such as furniture, display racks, and ladders, causing the aisles to be less than 36 inches wide, the minimum width required by the ADA Accessibility Guidelines ("ADAAG"). As a result of these obstructions, there were times that Chapman could not reach or access items located in those aisles. Chapman also asserted that on at least two of his visits to the store, the accessible sales counter was cluttered with merchandise and other items such as books, coffee cups, and a telephone; consequently, the accessible sales counter was less than 36 inches wide (the required width pursuant to the ADAAG) and prevented him from easily making purchases. Chapman alleged that because the store's aisles and accessible sales counter were in violation of ADAAG, he had been denied full and equal use of and access to the goods, services, privileges and facilities offered to non-disabled customers. He sought an injunction to require the store to remove these barriers to accessibility.
In support of his claims, Chapman provided a declaration regarding his 11 visits to the store, along with a number of photographs showing the obstructions he encountered. Chapman contended that these obstructions to access were not isolated or temporary interruptions, but rather a systematic pattern of abuse by Pier 1 against people with disabilities.
Pier 1 disputed Chapman's evidence and submitted a report that contained photographs of three aisles with no obstructions. Additionally, the Pier 1 store manager testified that the store's monthly merchandise plans directed employees to maintain an aisle width of at least 36 inches when placing merchandise on display. The store manager also testified that due to merchandise moving throughout the store by customers and employees, the store had adopted strategies for ensuring that the aisles remained accessible.
ADA LAWS
Discrimination against people with disabilities is strictly prohibited by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Title III of the Act requires full and equal access to the goods, services, and privileges (including the facilities and equipment) offered by retailers, restaurants and other places of public accommodation ("Accommodations"). In order to ensure that Accommodations are readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities, Accommodations must maintain the minimum requirements for accessibility set forth in the ADAAG. Included in the ADAAG is a requirement that aisles and other routes of accessibility be a minimum of 36 inches wide, as well as a requirement that at least one register counter be a minimum of 36 inches in length and a maximum of 36 inches in height. The ADAAG requirements further provide that accessible routes must remain unblocked by obstacles such as furniture, filing cabinets, or potted plants.
However, a violation is not deemed to occur if the obstruction to use or access is an "isolated or temporary" interruption, such as when merchandise is in an aisle for the purpose of restocking shelves, as long as the obstruction is removed promptly. This carve-out is not absolute, however, and depends on the circumstances—for example, an interruption caused by repairs is not considered to be "isolated or temporary" if the need for such repairs stems from improper or inadequate maintenance that results in repeated and persistent impediments to use or access, or if the repairs persist beyond a reasonable period of time.
Based on the evidence, the district court held that Pier 1 had violated the ADAAG requirements and issued a permanent injunction preventing Pier 1 from blocking its aisles with merchandise or other items and from cluttering its accessible sales counter with materials other than unavoidable transitory clutter resulting from the then-current use of the counter to purchase merchandise. Pier 1 appealed.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's holding and upheld the injunction against Pier 1 with respect to its aisles, holding that the obstructions were not isolated or temporary interruptions. The court held that given the frequency of occurrences, the aisle access problem needed to be viewed as a whole and not as a series of individual barriers to access. The evidence presented by Chapman was sufficient to establish that Pier 1 had repeated and persistent failures to maintain accessible routes over a two year period and that Pier 1 had failed to remedy the problem within a reasonable period of time.
Additionally, the Ninth Circuit found that the obstructions were not located in the aisles for the purpose of restocking shelves and therefore, could not be excused from the ADAAG on that basis. The court further explained that Pier 1's contention that the obstructions were temporary because they would be removed on request or in time was not sufficient to overcome Chapman's claims. In the court's view, an obstruction is only temporary if it is promptly removed from its location.
In reviewing the evidence submitted by Pier 1, the Ninth Circuit held that the existence of policies designed to limit obstructions did not establish that the obstructions were isolated or temporary barriers to use and access. Rather, Chapman's evidence revealed that the Pier 1 monthly merchandise plans and strategies were ineffective.
Accessible Sales Counter
The Ninth Circuit disagreed with the district court's holding regarding the accessible sales counter and held that the obstructions to use or access in this instance were, in fact, isolated or temporary interruptions. The first basis of the court's holding was that the items listed in Chapman's expert report (books in a basket, three coffee cups, and a movable telephone) were not sufficient obstructions to prove that Chapman was unable to use or access the accessible sales counter to make his purchase. Next, the court found that the record indicated that items were only present on the accessible sales counter on two or three of Chapman's visits to the store and therefore did not constitute a repeated and persistent failure to be clear of items. Lastly, the court found that promptly upon Chapman's arrival to the accessible sales counter, and without Chapman having to ask for assistance, the Pier 1 employees removed the obstructing items so that the interruption did not persist beyond a reasonable period of time.
The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court holding and removed the injunction against Pier 1 with respect to its accessible sales counter.
Based on this ruling, it is imperative for retailers to keep in mind that merely having policies and procedures in place to maintain accessibility and use is insufficient on its own to cause compliance with Title III; these policies and procedures must prove to be effective. In addition, multiple incidents throughout a store (e.g., 11 times over a two-year span) may be viewed as a systematic failure sufficient to cause a violation, as opposed to isolated incidents.

Brother and The Hayes Has 'Something to Find'
PD June 9, 2022 by Celeb Editor
UNITED STATES, June 3, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Americana band Brother and The Hayes is here with new music! They are gearing up for the release of their brand new song 'Something to Find.' This song is their newest release leading up to the release of their EP, 'Another Strange Time', which was recorded in Nashville at Aviles Sound. The six song record was produced by David Bingaman and Jennie Hayes Kurtz along with Diana Walsh who also mixed the project. The first single, 'Something To Find', is available today, June 3rd, and the full EP will be released June 24th. They are a brilliant blend of songwriting, vocals, and instrumentation, all culminating in music that connects with audiences all over.
Brother and The Hayes is a Tennessee based, Texas born, Americana-roots band led by siblings Jennie Hayes Kurtz and David Bingaman. They combine thoughtful lyrics with infectious grooves, pulling from an assortment of blues, bluegrass, and country & western influences including J.J. Cale, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, and Doc Watson.
Growing up in Texas, Jennie Hayes sang in the choir while David taught himself to play guitar by listening to blues musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Lightin' Hopkins. They both became interested in folk music and songwriting in college and began to collaborate. The siblings found that their love for the blues, country music, and bluegrass was the perfect vehicle for their playful, honest, and story-driven songwriting.
In 2017 Brother and The Hayes released their first recording project, 'The Dead End EP'. They produced and released their first full length album 'Tennessee Nights' in 2019 and in 2021 released 'The Art of Letting Go', an EP produced by Ken Coomer.
"IT'S A TEXAS-INFLUENCED BURRITO, STUFFED WITH GOODNESS AS ORGANIC AS THE PLACE IT COMES FROM."
– Joe Rapolla ~ LocklandSpringsteen
Brother and The Hayes' new song is available now, to be followed by their EP, everywhere music is found. They will also be playing shows around the country throughout the summer so audiences can experience their music and talent in person. Be sure to follow them on their socials, and keep up with show dates, new music, and all other projects through their website.

XXXTenacion's SON has been born seven months after his death
The former partner of deceased rapper XXXTenacion has given birth to his son, just seven months after his murder.
Jenesis Sanchez and the artist's mother, Cleopatra Bernard, have issued a joint statement saying that they are "thrilled" at the newborn's arrival.
"We're happy to confirm that Baby and Mother are healthy," the statement says. The little boy has been named Gekyume Onfroy.
A post shared by XXXTentacionfp (@krreacherim) on Jan 28, 2019 at 2:16am PST
Only days after the death of XXXTenacion, real name Jahseh Onfroy, the pregnancy was revealed in June of last year. The 20-year-old was shot and killed in Florida in his car.
According to the statement, the name Gekyume was "specifically" chosen by the late musician "for his first born son".
The family say the name "means 'different state' or 'next' universe of thought," adding that they are "honoured to fulfil his wish".

A posthumous XXXTentacion record was released last year entitled Skins, and featured prominent artists such as Kanye West.
The controversial rapper was facing a shocking 15 felony charges when he died, and was accused of multiple counts of domestic abuse, including an incident of physically assaulting a pregnant woman.
The rapper had been charged with the aggravated battery of a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and witness tampering, and was due in court the week after his death.

One in four women are reporting 'reproductive coercion'
If you are unfamiliar with the term 'reproductive coercion', it's essentially when another person has more control over your reproductive health than yourself.
Hilary Freeman of The Guardian is now reporting that more women than imagined have no idea that reproductive coercion is a form of abuse.
Studies have revealed that a shocking one-in-four women who attend sexual health clinics report coercion over their reproductive lives, including 'contraceptive sabotage', such as covert condom removal.
A post shared by Marie Stopes Australia (@mariestopesaus) on Jul 24, 2018 at 5:40pm PDT
According to BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health, available evidence about the abusive behaviour needs to be updated to 2017 and widen the spectrum of activities involved to include familial pressure, criminal activity and exploitation within sex trafficking.
As well as not being able to choose contraceptives to use or take control of their own reproductive health, reproductive control takes the form of contraceptive sabotage, such as convert condom removal or needling a hole in a condom.
Not being able to decide whether to start or continue a pregnancy is a major factor, research shows, and the concept of reproductive control (especially over women's autonomy) by others was first described in 2010.
It is important we are aware of who is doing the decision making when it comes to reproduction and are mindful of how control over contraception can manifest itself into physical and psychological harm.@HFreemanauthor explores #coercivecontrol below:https://t.co/uvj59lG05N
Women's experience of interference with their autonomy goes back centuries, arguably, but research indicates that younger women are particularly vulnerable, as well as those in the black community and racial minorities.
The practice is scarily common, with women having decisions taken away from them by partners, exploiters or family, invalidating consent.
One-in-four women attending sexual healthcare clinics are reporting persuasive methods, emotional blackmail, threatened or actual infidelity and physical violence predominantly perpetrated by male partners but also criminal gangs.
A post shared by kindness_kangaroo (@kindness_kangaroo) on Jan 8, 2019 at 9:36am PST
Other examples of contraceptive sabotage include; partners lying about having a vasectomy or sterilisation, refusing to wear condoms, forceful removal of condoms, not using the withdrawal method properly, piercing barrier contraceptives or throwing away contraceptive pills.
Condom removal during sex is referred to as 'stealthing', and is now classified as sexual assault. Spiking drinks or food to induce abortion also was mentioned as occurrences.
The consequences are often emotionally difficult to bear; unintended or unwanted pregnancy, higher abortion risk, higher STI rates and emergency contraceptive usage.
Women in violent, abusive relationships prove especially vulnerable to reproductive coercion, but many are unaware that they are being subjected to reproductive control.
A post shared by Marie Stopes Australia (@mariestopesaus) on Nov 29, 2018 at 1:30pm PST
"The degree of control that a male partner can have will vary from mild to extreme. Milder amounts of control may not be perceived by the victim as unhealthy or abusive."
"Women in a long term relationship may become inured to significant levels of reproductive control," the study's authors write.
The study calls on healthcare professionals must play a crucial part in noticing and preventing this horrifically controlling behaviour.

What will it mean to be an 'empowered' woman in 2019?
What does it mean to be an 'empowered woman' in 2019?
The phrase 'empowered woman' is intrinsically loaded with underlying meaning and misunderstood perceptions. When many of us hear the phrase, most people envision a sexually-promiscuous woman who refuses to have children and most likely drinks scotch.
Arguably, its meaning has dramatically changed in the last year, ever since actress Alyssa Milano's 'Me Too' tweet went viral.

2018 has not been the easiest of times for Irish women.
Watching the news everyday has been a tortuous experience, with violence against women splashed across every publication, the media raining debilitating double standards upon anyone remotely famous and the paparazzi splashing unflattering female body images across the internet.
Two massively painful rape trials have illuminated the imperative need for changes in the Irish law regarding sexual violence and assault, and the horrific way in which women are treated and cross-examined in the courtroom.

The Repeal movement was draining for everyone involved, the right to bodily autonomy is still undeniably under threat.
It's worth noting that standards are changing all around us, lines are being drawn, boundaries are being set. Finally, I might add.
Women are always hyper-aware of the need for self-protection, especially when it comes to sex and dating.
We've all held our keys in between our knuckles as we walk down a dimly-lit road at night, we've all experienced unwanted attention on nights out, and we've all worried about what we wear, and the negative consequences our clothes could potentially bring.

Standards of relationships are changing in conjunction, as women entering the dating world have new questions which they are asking of potential lovers.
This also stands for workplace relationships, women are fighting back against pay inequality and sexism which are prevalent even in first-world countries such as Ireland and the UK.
Watching Little Mix and Ariana Grande fight back against Piers Morgan's recent sexist comments has been such a breath of fresh air.

The #MeToo and TimesUp movements have been eye-opening experiences for men, women and intersex people worldwide, with every facet of society examining its own behaviour with a new lens.
Unlike most men, women are expected to be looking for love around every corner.
During our teens and 20s, being single is depicted as a hugely empowering, freeing experience, yet a shadow dawns on the eve of our 30th birthdays: the misogynistic view that our biological clocks are ticking, and where on earth is our husband?
A post shared by Rock.Like.Girls (@rock.like.girls) on Nov 20, 2018 at 3:00pm PST
I have learnt many things from relationships, mainly that learning who you are can often only become a reality when you face tough aspects of life alone.
This is not true for everyone, of course, but many women in this day and age have to shrug off countless societal pressures and notions which are veiled in misogyny and shame.
Female empowerment in this article can only be relevant to my personal experiences, women are extremely complex beings and each feels empowered in totally different ways.
For women with disabilities, of different ages, gender binaries, classes and ethnicities, feeling good about ourselves comes in all shapes and forms.

Women are not therapists, we cannot be expected to handle the emotional baggage of other people.

Ariana Grande has entered ultimate female empowerment mode, sporting a friendship ring instead of her recent engagement rock, and regularly posting images of classic film stars and female icon moments on her Instagram account.
Her new music video will be a tribute to classic movies with female leads such as 13 Going On 30, Mean Girls, Bring It On and Legally Blonde.

Reports claim that her ex-fiancé, Pete Davidson, did not support her sufficiently following the death of Mac Miller, her former love.
Ariana explained how toxic her relationship with Miller was; she endured the pain of watching someone they love struggle through addiction but realised that it was expected of her to 'fix' his pain, to mother him through his issues.
Her realisation that she could not carry out this burden was imperative.
When Davidson joked about swapping Grande's birth control pills on Saturday Night Live, the reaction was mixed.

Many wondered why controversy erupted over the comment, yet many reflected on the notion of literally trapping a woman into staying with you through pregnancy, a huge emotional and physical ordeal for women.
Realise that we are not defined by our relationship status, and to have a relationship with yourself can be an incredibly growth experience.
Letting go of the pressure to always have an 'other half' can be freeing in itself. Don't underestimate the value of your friendships, especially female ones.
SEX is empowering:
Learning what you like (this applies to anyone with a sexual partner- in a relationship or not) is CRUCIAL.
Women have always been expected to satisfy men in terms of sex, the language was never granted to us regarding how to communicate our desires, and how to find pleasure.
Consent in this country has always been a murky topic, hidden under the surface.
I never heard the word mentioned until I went to college, and by the time I learnt the word's true meaning, I had already had unconsensual experiences without truly understanding them at all.
Educating ourselves about consent, and only having relationships with those who truly respect us and our bodies can be incredibly empowering.

Learn how to say no, be selfish.
Women cannot be expected to please everyone, all the time. Often we have to work incredibly hard, in our employment or relationships, to get the achievements we deserve.
Learning to put yourself first can be a massive way of respecting our own mental health and practicing self-love and acceptance.
Ask yourself, what do YOU want, instead of what does everyone else want of you.
Self -defence classes, a new language, a skill such as website building, graphic design, even calligraphy. Why not?
If you have valuable assets such as the ability to drive, and even do nitpicky jobs such as online banking or tax can be empowering in terms of releasing yourself from co-dependence.
Don't let opportunities pass you by.
Go with your instincts. Do what you've always wanted to do, but always found an excuse never to do it. You miss 100% of the chances you let pass by, and you never know how much you can gain from letting your fears dissipate and challenging yourself.
The importance of having a health mind can never be underestimated. Take personal time whenever you know that you need it, don't succumb to pressure.

Society makes it so damn hard to allow you to feel secure in your own skin. In a world with such fascination with image and beauty, loving yourself is a completely rebellious act.
Everyone is unique, so don't try to fit a beauty mould which will undoubtedly change in the next five to ten years.
In the 90s it was bone glamour with malnourished models such as Kate Moss on the runway looking like all they needed most was a McDonalds, and now the Kardashians have transformed cosmetic beauty into plastic surgery-induced curves, glossy brunette hair and big lips and bums.
God, I did also say a million other things in the 1 hour podcast for channel 4 and in my 2000 word pieces I write, and long interviews I do for the media… but everyone just obsessively latches on to the kardashian comment in which I said they may be UNKNOWING double agents. https://t.co/UffJJ7LSCu

Who knows what the next big trend will be, but why force yourself to look like someone else? You are worth so much more than what you weigh or what you see in the mirror.
Taking control of your love life
The laws of dating have transformed recently, with apps such as Bumble finally realising that women don't always want to wait around for the right person to ask them on a date.
Try asking someone out, the worst that can happen is that they say no.
I lived in San Francisco for four months and had the most atrocious diet, and when I came home I vowed to learn at least ten easy home-cook meals that are quick to make, and have health benefits. Having independence in terms of your body and health can be crucial to an empowering mindset, especially for women with chronic health problems.
Finding career success can be a huge morale boost, especially for women. Success shouldn't be based on how much you earn, but how much you love your job and how you contribute to bringing a positive energy to the world around you.
Fight to be heard at the table, realise how intelligent you are and how you should be valued in your workplace. Don't let anyone invalidate you.
You have the key to your own happiness, no one else.

To be totally independent, 'empowered' single gal has countless benefits. Find your own definition of 'empowerment', some women are empowered by their style, their job, their relationship, their sex life, and others are empowered simply by being happy in their own skin.
Whether you're feeling great and powerful totally covered up or completely naked, do whatever makes you happy.
As Ru Paul the Great regularly claims, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?"
Street harassment "relentless" for women, UK government finds
It's an incredibly frustrating aspect of reality that women and girls face constant public sexual harassment daily.
In Tuesday's report written by MPs on the women and qualities committee in Britain, the issue has now been labelled "urgent" following a nine-month enquiry on the matter.
The report is insisting that the UK government take immediate and effective action to attempt to create a safer public environment for women.
My daughter was 11 the first time I saw an older man leer at her and make suggestive comments.
It is grotesque

From exercising in public parks and frequenting nightclubs or bars to simply utilising our city's public transport, women can almost almost claim to have felt the burden of danger in communal spaces of our communities.
Experiences have more recently been shared of extensive experiences of sexual assault and harassment, and there are more accounts than ever of crimes being committed against women in public.
France has recently introduced a law against street harassment which results in on-the-spot fines for predatory comments and harassment such as sexualised remarks and wolf-whistling, after a woman was viciously attacked by a man for confronting him about his offensive behaviour towards her.

The committee has "heard evidence of widespread problems" of both men and boys "sexually harassing women and even girls on buses and trains, in bars and clubs, in online spaces and at university, in parks and on the street."
The subject of school uniforms was also mentioned in the report, written by cross-party MPs, testifying that girls in their school attires are pressurised to avoid risky situations which "keeps women and girls unequal".
Street harassment has been described in the document as "relentless and becomes 'normalised' as girls grow up, contributing to a wider negative cultural effect on society."
The committee also sets out seven steps which they aim to take in the report, among them is the proposal to force train and bus operators and publican landlords to take tougher measures towards fighting sexual harassment on their premises.
It also requests a public information campaign which is specifically designed to change attitudes, akin to road safety campaigns and first aid programmes.
The British Home Office also states that they view the epidemic problem as a "key priority," and are devising an updated "Violence against Women and Girls" strategy and scheme.
Writing on public pavements in chalk has become a new pacifistic method for women to fight back, to feel safe in their own cities.
Regardless of government promises to eliminate such prevalent behaviour entirely by 2030, the Women and Equalities Committee concludes negatively that there is currently "no evidence of any programme to achieve this".

'This was broad daylight': Woman details attack on Grafton Street
A young woman has taken to Facebook to pay tribute to the passerby who intervened after she was assaulted on Grafton Street on Monday morning.
Becky Ni Uuinseann took to social media to outline the details of the incident which occurred at approximately 8am.
"To the guy who helped me this morning …. thank you! I never asked your name or even for your details to say thank you and I'm putting it down to shock, but maybe this might reach you somehow," she began her post.
"This morning between 7:50 and 8:05 I was attacked on Grafton street. Some guy in his 40s grabbed me and was screaming in my face while throwing digs," Becky told her followers.
While she attempted to defend herself, Becky confirmed that the passerby who intervened bore the brunt of the man's assault.
"I managed to block him but couldn't get away and only 1 person got involved and helped me get free. I'm positive he took the brunt of it once he got involved."
"Once free he walked me most of the way to work before heading on his way," Becky continued.
"If you're going through town please be careful. The guy was big and definitely was not speaking English. Please be careful and maybe take 1 ear phone out! This was broad daylight while everyone was on their way to work!"
Speaking to The Independent, Becky confirmed that she has reported the incident to the Gardaí, saying: "They couldn't have been more helpful."
"They told me that not enough people report these things. No matter how small you may think the incident is you really should report it because usually these people are known to the guards."

Graduation rate is the percentage of institution's new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This indicator doesn't take into consideration students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

A brilliant farce tracing the antics of four intrepid actors (one being a wooden bird) through rehearsal, the inevitable cast member love affair, the jealousy, the rivalry and the thrill of the first performance. The hour flew past, unlike the wooden duck, which made only a short aerial voyage in a moment of shocked alarm during their half-manic performance of the butchered Wilde classic. An enjoyable show that could only have been improved by a little more time spent on that actual finale performance. The build-up was magisterial and soaked in lines that tumesced outrageous expectation, but the fun of a farce is when the whole thing crescendos towards the end in this one the crescendo was, disappointingly, a bit short-lived.
theSpace on North Bridge, until 23 Aug.

BRINGING JUSTICE TO REGAN RUSSELL: PARTIES RESPOND TO CHARGES BROUGHT AGAINST KILLER
Filed under News Articles
VegWorld Magazine
Friends and family yesterday joined Animal Save Movement in condemning the Halton Regional Police Service for bringing charges of Careless Driving Causing Death against the driver of a pig transport truck in the June 19 death of Regan Russell.
Russell was attending a special Toronto Pig Save vigil to protest Ontario's passage of the unconstitutional "ag-gag" Bill 156 just two days prior, and had been giving water to dehydrated pigs on one of the hottest days of the year.
"Losing Regan has been a terrible experience, and the lax charge in response to her death has only made that pain deeper," said Joshua Powell, Russell's stepson. "Grief is now compounded by anger, frustration, and confusion. We will be taking the time we need to reflect on this information. Our family is committed to revealing the truth in Regan's death, and will be pursuing all avenues before us that work to that end."
"These charges are feeble and do not amount to justice for Regan. Enough is enough – how many more lives will be lost at the hands of Sofina and Fearmans before they agree to a safety policy?" said Anita Krajnc, co-founder of Animal Save Movement. "They've rejected these calls far too long and have Regan's blood on their hands – we will not rest until Bill 156 is repealed."
Animal Save Movement demands the release of video footage obtained by police that show the incident, so that it can be independently reviewed.
Russell, 65, was a pioneer of Canada's animal rights movement and had peacefully campaigned on behalf of animals for more than 40 years. On June 19th an unnamed 28-year-old male drove a pig transport truck into Russell outside Sofina's Fearmans slaughterhouse in Burlington.
"Today's charges must be upgraded to reflect the death of a kind and gentle soul who did no wrong," said PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. "Regan Russell spent her last moments on Earth showing kindness to animals, and everyone can honor her memory by going vegan."
On June 19, Russell was participating in a peaceful vigil outside Sofina-owned Fearmans slaughterhouse when she was struck and violently killed by a pig transport truck. Earlier at the Toronto Pig Save vigil she had been providing water to pigs on a scorching-hot day, along with six other activists.
Regan was standing at the slaughterhouse entrance when the driver unexpectedly accelerated, turning in Russell's direction and ending her life. This took place two days after "ag-gag" legislation in the form of Bill 156 was approved by the Ontario government, following months of extensive lobbying by meat, dairy, egg, and other animal industries..
There's a long history of reckless driving from truckers. Toronto Pig Save called for safety protocols to be implemented after vigil attendees were nearly hit by trucks on a number of occasions and launched a Change.org petition demanding a safety agreement ("Michael Latifi [owner of Sofina's Fearmans pig slaughterhouse]: Stop endangering activists! Negotiate a safety agreement at Fearmans now!").
Animal Save Movement demands that the Ontario government immediately repeal Bill 156, and replace it with a Regan Bill of Animal Rights that would protect the rights of protestors to demonstrate safely; defend whistleblowers, journalists, and others who document animal suffering; recognize the personhood of pigs and other animals; defund animal agriculture; and invest in plant-based food systems in Ontario.
