IR35 was first announced on the 9th March 1999, which was both the day that the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown announced his budget, and was also the date of the release of the Inland Revenues, as HMRC was then known, bulletin number 35, titled 'IR35: Countering Avoidance in the Provision of Personal Services'. This therefore gave rise to the name 'IR35', and the Intermediaries Legislation came in to force in the UK in April 2000 within the Finance Act.
But what brought about the introduction of the Intermediaries Legislation? Historically the problem was that employees would be working from a company as an employee up until the close of business on a Friday, leaving as usual that evening and then returning the following Monday and working for the employer as a contractor via their own limited company. This has the effect that the contractor was now basically doing exactly the same job as before with no change but significantly increasing their take home pay. Contractors and the like were effectively posing as limited company's but were doing nothing different to when they were employees, with HMRC receiving far less tax when they were now earning far more, leading to them being classed as disguised employees.
The introduction of IR35 was agreed to be useful and underpinned by sound principles. However, it was not long before tax investigations opened under the new legislative powers brought to light some serious flaws, with many questioning and legally challenging the process, application and legislation as a whole. Hindsight is a wonderful gift, and as always the retrospective view was that IR35 had been introduced too quickly and without the deep and meaningful consultation and thinking required to make it the required success. Some even went as far as to class it as a panic solution brought about to tackle the then ever increasing number of contractors.
In April 2007 the Managed Service Company (MSC) legislation was introduced, meaning that contractors were only able to receive dividends if they operated their own personal Limited Company. Those contractors that used an intermediary to receive payment could now only do so via PAYE, which meant they were subject to income tax and national insurance contributions, whilst the agency promoting the service of a MSC could be found liable for any underpaid tax and national insurance contributions.
In July 2010 HM Treasury established the Office of Tax Simplification, which consisted of a panel of officials and tax experts to look into areas of tax complexity, of which IR35 was one given the barrage of criticism it had faced and how unclear it was. A decision was to be made as to if it was to be revamped, suspended or discarded, the outcome of which would have massive ramifications for contractors. As it turned out, IR35 was not to be scrapped or suspended, but to be enhanced and modified.
From October 2010, a contractor that was inside IR35 also meant that they were inside the scope of the Agency Workers Regulations as the same tests applied to both.

Q: Adjusting Kendo MuliSelect Tag Width to fill the enitre input I have a Kendo MultiSelect with MaxSelectedItems set to 1, so user can select only one value. I'd like to make the tag to fill the input completely. Currently, it leaves some space after itself.

I'm aware of TagMode, but what I'm looking for is that the tag fills the entire input box.
This is what I'm using:
@(Html.Kendo().MultiSelectFor(x => x.field)
    .MaxSelectedItems(1)
    .Placeholder("")
    .DataValueField("Id")
    .DataTextField("Text")
    .AutoBind(false)
    .DataSource(ds => ds
    .Read("SelectField", "API").ServerFiltering(true))
    .ItemTemplate("#:Code# - #: Text#")
    .TagTemplate("#:Code# - #: Text#")
    .TagMode(TagMode.Single)
    .HighlightFirst(true)
)

A: You can simply use CSS:
#select_id > li.k-button {
   width: 100%;
}

Just add some id to make this selector more specific
To maximize filled space you should also hide next <input>
#select_id ~ input {
    width: 0px !important;
    display: none;
}

Mustard plants correspond to various plant species in the genera Brassica and Sinapis and are known to reach maturity very fast. These plants are very beneficial, as almost every part of the plant is useful.
The leaves (mustard greens) and tender stems can be boiled and consumed as vegetables, while the tiny mustard seeds can be used as spice. Their flowers are edible too.
Mustard plants are cultivated as vegetables, oil, seeds, condiments, green manure and even for fodder purposes.
cut down from their base when they have sufficiently grown and left to wither on their own. This causes them to act as a mulch till the next crop's sowing season. Moreover, in hazardous waste sites, this plant is used to discard heavy metals from the soil. This plant has a high tolerance level for these substances and stores the heavy metal in their cells. The plants are then harvested and disposed of appropriately.
Black Mustard plant is an annual, cultivated plant which can grow to a height of up to two metres, its thin stems bear loosely grouped, erect, bright sulphur-yellow flowers. Each flower has four petals arranged in the form of across, hence the alternative family name, Cruciferae. From the flowers grow elongated pods containing four to ten dark-brown mustard seeds. The stalked leaves are elongated and entire at the top of the plant and pinnate lower down on the stem, and closely resemble those of its relative rocket (arugula). Moreover, the leaves of this plant are covered in small hairs. The seeds of this plant are hard and vary in colour from dark brown to very black.
and has also spread across the globe by long cultivation.
headless cabbage like kale, but with a horseradish-mustard flavour.

Leveling is a social process in which the uniqueness of the individual is rendered non-existent by assigning equal value to all aspects of human endeavors, thus missing all the intricacies and subtle complexities of human identity. Leveling is highly associated with existential philosopher Søren Kierkegaard.

Overview
For Kierkegaard, leveling was the process of suppressing individuality to a point where the individual's uniqueness becomes non-existent and nothing meaningful in his existence can be affirmed:

However, Kierkegaard's idea of leveling wasn't one of making life meaningless but of making life equal because every single individual has equal access to the grace and gifts of God. He wasn't concerned with earthly and material goods.

German philosopher Martin Heidegger wrote of leveling: "by averageness and leveling down, everything gets obscured, and what has thus been covered up gets passed off as something familiar and accessible to everyone. ...by virtue of an insensitivity to all distinctions in level and genuineness, and in providing average intelligibility, opens up a standard world in which all distinctions between the unique and the general, the superior and the average, the important and the trivial have been leveled".

Heidegger's view of important things becoming mundane and non-specific points towards Nietzsche's concept of master–slave morality, in which the weak and disenfranchised reframe the positive traits of the strong and powerful as not worth pursuing.

A species in decline. My personal experience is that it is fairly easy to find across much of its range. But it is usually local.
From high levels the taxon debilis flies which may be the high altitude form of the current species or a full species.
Identification & Similar species: This species has a an orange submarginal band on the upperside hindwing with small black spots. This is similar only to the Spanish fritillary,E. desfontainii, which has strong black marks on the forewing. It also has distinct yellow submarginal lunules on the upperside forewing, which are orange in the current species. Note, in the field that species appears much brighter and move vivid than the current one.
Distribution & Flight: Most of Europe except the Mediterranean islands, east UK, much of Scandinavia, Italy (present in central Italy plus the Alps) and most of Greece.
April to July depending strongly on location, altitude and latitude. I've found it in late April in Var, France at around 800m altitude and in July at 2000m in Switzerland.
Habitat & Behaviour: Often damp places, but also dry hillsides. Flies gently above grassy habitats. Both sexes often rest on grasses for quite long periods.
Variation: Extremely variable in all markings and colouration. The subspecies beckeri from Spain and north Africa is larger with stronger markings.

Rapper/Actor Ice T: "Manhood Is Dead…We're Dealing with the Pussyfication of the Male Sex"
Nick Delmacy, 5 years ago 21 1 min read 869
In a recent interview with The Guardian to promote his new album, Manslaughter, rapper Ice T made some very bold statements about manhood and masculinity. The "pussyfication" of men, as he calls it. He says it has nothing to do with homosexuality, but in his opinion men have become softer.
Here's the relevant excerpt of the interview:
What's the lyrical agenda on Manslaughter? You declare that "manhood's dead" …
I think right now you're dealing with the pussyfication of the male sex. Men are just being so passive, not standing for something; they're very politically correct. This has nothing to do with the gay male. The gay male is gay and I have no problem with that. Men are just soft. It's OK to say you want to be a woman, but try to be a man and there's something wrong with that.
Are women toughening up as a result?
Well, women want the position. One of my buddies told me, "For you to be a man, a bitch has definitely taken a position." If you're with your girl and you're like, "Where should we park? I don't know …", she'll be like, "Park here!"
So the weakness of men has allowed women to grow stronger?
Not necessarily. They were going to grow stronger anyway because women want power. But at the same time they've made men feel very uncomfortable about speaking about their feelings.
Looking past who the messenger is, what are your thoughts? Agree, Disagree or somewhere in-between?

I disagree with Ice-T. While I think theyre are a lot of passive men, the majority of us are still assertive and about our business. The problem is society trying to either criminalize black men or make us soft. And honestly I dont know if women want the power, they just want a man who has power and respects them. My sister always says "I want a man to treat me as an equal person but ultimately he still needs to be a man!". Growing up my stepfather always asked my mother's opinion bult it always came down to his decision at the end of the day. I think most BLACK men still operate like that.

I too don't think women necessarily want "POWER" or control, they just want to be considered and respected. Power has always been a male ego and machismo driven concept anyway. I see nothing wrong with a woman saying park here if the man (who's driving the car) didn't make a decison. That doesn't mean she's on a quest to be dominant in the relationship. Relationships work best when there's interdependence anyway, so everyone will have his or her own voice and occasional dominance.
Mellymell
If you ask me, what's wrong with society isn't the "pussyfication" of the man, but rather, the idea that there's something inherently wrong or "less" in having a "pussy" to begin with. The word "pussyfication" only means something in a world where misogyny is still relevant. And the truth is that even in the gay community, there's still a lot of misogyny going on. That's why some men are terrified at the prospect of bottoming, because they think that it somehow violates their "status" as a man.
Society needs to grow up and evolve. Some men are passive because that's their personality. Some women are aggressive because that's *their* personality. Why can't we just let people do them, and celebrate the uniqueness that we individually bring to the table? The idea of cookie-cutter men and cookie-cutter women should be a thing of the past; and for the life of me, I can't understand why gay men, if no one else, haven't evolved past that antiquated thinking.
It makes a man no less a man to be passive, than it makes a black person any less a black person to be educated, to speak proper English, and to not be interested in football or basketball. I swear, sometimes I think we still live in 1850.
Where is the "do you" generation?
Isaac Colver
I would say men aren't so hypermasculine anymore. The whole concept of manhood and masculinity are VERY dogmatic. Nothing against them, but they're quite rigid. Just because people aren't conforming to old gender roles anymore doesn't mean manhood is dead. Just because men aren't as aggressive doesn't mean that men are being "pussified". That statement there shows his disregard for femininity. Manhood is subjective as well.
850famuman
Idk..I think he is trying to get heterosexual men to step they game up and get back in the drivers seat in their relationships.
I don't get what Ice T's saying here. Just because a man isn't thug hard, bustin' muthafukkas in the mouth, and saying "F*** the police!" they're pussified or not manly?! They don't stand for nothing? Is he referring to a certain racial demographic of men in the U.S.A.? Blacks? Other men around the world still exert dominance and are very aggressive so he's making a generalization. If he's referring to the ruggedness of this generation of African American males, I would say that it's not fair to take away someone's masculinity based on…for example, fashion. What you wear does not dictate your masculinity or your ability to be aggressive. In some parts of the world men wear next to nothing, but will kill a dude quick and will defend their families at all costs. Just 'cause a guy has on slim fitted jeans (or a leather kilt) doesnt mean he's less masculine than a guy with timbs and a fitted cap. Expressing masculinity or manhood doesn't have to be a physical persona. It's more of a mind set, and besides everyone has different reactionary methods. For lack of a better term, having nigga moments isn't the way to go all the time. I'm sure many years ago some people thought MLK Jr. was pussified too for being passive. This is funny though, coming from a fair skinned man, with light eyes, and perm who's named after a sweet beverage you sip on a hot Georgia day. Also, just because you're gay or like men doesn't mean you want to be a woman. His perception on things is BS!

caliken10
Not even a little? Lol
Hmmm….you can't help the colour of your skin or your eyes….I don't get that? Unless you are saying he is bleaching and wearing contacts?
But nevertheless I agree with your premise that he is rather fey but not with the examples you have given.
What's up John. I was commenting on his looks because some people would say that him being light skinned with light eyes, and having a ponytail can come off as pretty or soft. Which is a perception based on his physical expressions. If he ran in the circles of black guys (of various complexions, etc.) back in the day, I'm sure at times he was thought of as sorta soft or pussyfied just because of his looks, speech, and style. Now if he hung around Latinos I'm sure his manhood would have been thought of much less because complexion, eye color, and hair texture/style is less of a masculinity issue due to the diversity of Latinidad. Usually black/mixed men with lighter complexions and/or light color eyes are perceived as having a beautiful (not handsome) factor in black culture. Beauty and masculinity aren't usually associated together. It's associated more with femininity. I wasn't trying to make an issue about his or anyone else's complexion and eye color, but more so touch on how his appearance doesn't yell masculinity. I recall years ago either seeing or reading an interview where he stated that some people were like "who's this sweet nigga" in the beginning of his career. So he should understand the plight of having your manhood misunderstood and falsely represented. But I think I need to hear a few tracks from his album to see what areas he feels manhood and masculinity are lacking. I'm really making assumptions off of 2 sentences. He didn't really have an in depth talk.
I don't think things have really changed. The straight men I know are players and the women they know seem to fall in line with what ever they want. I guess I don't know the full picture to make a thoughtful statement on the topic.
Has anyone seen his show??!! Him and his wife are such caricatures of what men and women behave that is seems really, really fake.
In fact, he seems really passive…
LMAO….and what about that high voice of his??
Ocky Williams
Yes I agree with the first paragraph in his response.
My first question is, why does he have an album coming out?
But, I kinda feel him..but I think it's more about the fact that everyone is trying to be more PC..it's not just str8 men
I feel like this can be construed as critique of the very real rape culture debate that is happening in feminist and academic and to some extent mainstream media circles. The type of maleness that Ice T is saying has become pussyified is a result of power shifts and rethinking male dominance in a world where misogyny and patriarchy and homophobia are prevalent. I don't see a pussyification of men but an evolution of what being a man means today in 2014.
SwagJack
Good point, @tgvirgo. This is coming from a dude that spent half of his career in a perm and curls. And when the south and the west started to become more prominent within the realm of hip-hop in the late 1980s, a lot of their hairstyles and fashion sense were considered "sus" as well (remember Dr. Dre in his sequin blazer?).
And now that his generation transcended all the ridicule and side eyes, eventually adding to the transformation of hip-hop culture…they're hating on subsequent generations of artists who are trying to change the face of hip-hop by adding their own flair…JUST LIKE THEY DID 25 YEARS PRIOR!! HAHA!
I know this isn't specifically what he was addressing in this piece, but it I'm sure it's an extension of his argument. When it comes to the concept of masculinity, I don't think much has really changed. If I closed my eyes while listening to him argue his points, I would probably think I was talking to a pimp. I don't see much merit in his argument. Just talking loud and saying nothing.
Dude needs to be more specific. I would say women are becoming more beasty tho. Especially black women. The majority of them seem more domineering and carry themselves in a very unlady like manner.
I see women like that ALL THE TIME! It amazes me!
Remyfacade
I would have to agree. However is he talking about the "average" type of male or the metrosexuals?
Ivan King
My issue with what he's said is as if there is a set way a man is suppose to be and act and he is full authority of that. A man is a MAN because of the sex organ between his legs. Period. How the soul chooses to express itself through that vessel goes beyond our petty definition of a man. We are experiencing the evolution of a species in real time and we are discovering what we thought about ourselves cannot even be fathomed. Shut up and experience some shit.

Both your nutritional needs (the food and water) and your metabolism (how fast your body converts food to energy) change at this age. Your metabolism gets slower. Women lose about half a pound of muscle per year starting around the age of 40. That makes losing weight even more difficult. Some of the changes women experience are due to decreased hormones, reduced activity level, and medical conditions.
When layering for an outdoor activity this winter, consider a compression fabric for your base layers. "These fabrics are fantastic at wicking moisture from the body, which allows you to sweat and breath while keeping you warm," says Chiplin, who notes they can also reduce fatigue and muscle soreness so you're ready to head out again tomorrow. Consider throwing them in the dryer for a minute before dressing to further chase away the morning chill.
Although there is evidence that interventions can address widespread malnutrition among women, there is a lack of operational research and programs to tackle the issue. There is an imperative for the nutrition community to look beyond maternal nutrition and to address women's nutrition across their lives (3). How we reach women matters, and different delivery platforms are more appropriate for some women than others. Delivery platforms for reaching young mothers are different from those for adolescents and postmenopausal women. There is a need to intentionally consider strategies that appropriately target and deliver interventions to all women. This means that nutrition researchers and practitioners need to further adapt existing strategies and modes of delivery to adequately engage women who might not be in clinic settings (78). This also requires that researchers and practitioners explore how to deliver nutrition interventions to women and at different stages of life in order to reduce inequities in the delivery of nutrition services and to reach women missed by programs focusing on maternal nutrition alone.
The gym is in the basement with seemed like slow ceiling and dim lighting. I tried to attend a zumba class -- the class was in the middle floor, cramped and crowded. I couldn't see the instructor (in fact I didn't even know who the instructor and what was going on) people looked lost in the class. I kept bumped into one of the cycles. After 10mins of frustration, I gave up on zumba and just hopped on a treadmill, only to find the treadmill was placed on unleveled with a hole on the floor! My treadmill was flip-flopping with each step. I then went to the stretching area hoping to may just suck it up for the next 30 minutes and call it a day. I found the mat to be dirty and the corner for stretching was dark and tight. There's not enough lockers to use. The shower stalls look small and dirty. I just didn't get an good feeling after this first class.
Food fortification is one of the most cost-effective strategies to improve micronutrient status through a variety of food vehicles, including staples, condiments, and processed foods (63, 64). Common fortifiable micronutrients include iron, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and iodine, although B vitamins and vitamin C are also used as fortificants (33, 64). Food fortification reduced anemia and iron deficiency anemia, and improved vitamin A, folate, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, zinc, and iodine status of women of reproductive age and adolescents (13, 46, 61, 63–74). Vitamin D and calcium fortification were found to reduce the risk of osteoporosis among older women, especially for those exposed to inadequate sunlight (63, 64). Biofortification efforts, including those that involved breeding or genetic modification of plants to improve micronutrient content, have also shown improvements in the vitamin A and iron status of women (64, 75). Similar to micronutrient supplementation, women and girls with low micronutrient status were most likely to benefit.
A healthy vegetarian diet falls within the guidelines offered by the USDA. However, meat, fish and poultry are major sources of iron, zinc and B vitamins, so pay special attention to these nutrients. Vegans (those who eat only plant-based food) may want to consider vitamin and mineral supplements; make sure you consume sufficient quantities of protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D and calcium. You can obtain what you need from non-animal sources. For instance:
It doesn't matter how many pushups you can do in a minute if you're not doing a single one correctly. "There is no point in performing any exercise without proper form," says Stokes, who recommends thinking in terms of progression: Perfect your technique, then later add weight and/or speed. This is especially important if your workout calls for performing "as many reps as possible" during a set amount of time. Choose quality over quantity, and you can stay injury-free.
Social protection interventions are intended to support vulnerable households by providing them with in-kind (e.g., food) or cash transfers. The impact of social protection on women's nutrition was nuanced, as such interventions were associated with protecting against adverse nutrition outcomes, but were also associated with excess weight gain in some settings. In-kind transfers, including food baskets, fortified foods, and school lunches, improved women's and adolescent girls' energy and micronutrient intakes, as described in the preceding sections. Both CCTs and unconditional cash transfers were common around the world and were associated with improvements in health care utilization and increased food expenditures (5, 14, 195, 196). CCTs were dependent on "conditions" such as school attendance and health care utilization. For children in Burkina Faso, CCTs were associated with greater numbers of preventative health visits compared with unconditional cash transfers (197), and this could be relevant to adult women's health care utilization as well. Unconditional cash transfers, such as old-age pensions, were also common, including in low- and middle-income countries (5, 198). Older women who received pensions had fewer missed meals (199), although evidence was mixed (200). In South Africa, granddaughters who cohabitated with women who received pensions had improved anthropometric measures and fewer missed meals, indicating spillover effects of pension transfers (199, 201).
During adolescence and early adulthood, women need to consume foods rich in calcium to build peak (maximum) bone mass. This will reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis, a progressive condition where there is a loss of bone that leaves those affected more susceptible to fractures. Women also need an adequate iron intake because they lose iron through menstruation. Women also need an adequate intake of calories to support energy and nutritional needs in order for the body to function properly. The amount of calories that an individual needs varies for each person and is based on age, gender and activity level. As a general recommendation, women between 23 and 50 years of age generally need between 1,700 and 2,200 calories per day to maintain their current energy needs and body weight. Older women generally require fewer calories to support and sustain energy needs. Consuming fewer than 1,500 calories per day, even in attempts to lose weight, can put women at nutritional risk and can result in malnutrition and poor health.

Systematically report and evaluate women's nutrition outcomes in research and program evaluation documents in low- and middle-income countries, including outcomes for adolescents, older women, and mothers (as opposed to reporting on women's nutrition as child nutrition outcomes alone). When possible, report and evaluate differences by setting (e.g., rural compared with urban) and socioeconomic status.
Getting enough water also is important. Many experts recommend at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily—more if you exercise frequently or are exposed to extremes of heat and cold. The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans emphasize drinking more water and other calorie-free beverages, along with fat-free or low-fat milk and 100 percent fruit juices, instead of calorie-packed regular sodas.
It's easy to get lost in a killer playlist or Friends rerun on the TV attached to the elliptical, but mindless exercise makes all your hard work forgettable—and you can forget about seeing results too. "There is a huge difference between going through the motions of an exercise and truly thinking, feeling, and engaging the key muscles," says Kira Stokes, master instructor at the New York City location of indoor cycling studio Revolve. "Be conscious of and enjoy the sensation of your muscles contracting and the feelings of growing stronger and more powerful with each rep."

She's just that right balance of energetic and serious, making sure that her clients get what they need.
While defended by those cultures in which it constitutes a tradition, FGC is opposed by many medical and cultural organizations on the grounds that it is unnecessary and harmful. Short term health effects may include hemorrhage, infection, sepsis, and even result in death, while long term effects include dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, vaginitis and cystitis.[79] In addition FGC leads to complications with pregnancy, labor and delivery. Reversal (defibulation) by skilled personnel may be required to open the scarred tissue.[80] Amongst those opposing the practice are local grassroots groups, and national and international organisations including WHO, UNICEF,[81] UNFPA[82] and Amnesty International.[83] Legislative efforts to ban FGC have rarely been successful and the preferred approach is education and empowerment and the provision of information about the adverse health effects as well the human rights aspects.[11]
Women's life expectancy is greater than that of men, and they have lower death rates throughout life, regardless of race and geographic region. Historically though, women had higher rates of mortality, primarily from maternal deaths (death in childbirth). In industrialised countries, particularly the most advanced, the gender gap narrowed and was reversed following the industrial revolution. [6] Despite these differences, in many areas of health, women experience earlier and more severe disease, and experience poorer outcomes.[18]
Having the proper footwear is essential for any workout, and for winter runs, that means sneaks with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), says Polly de Mille, an exercise physiologist who oversees New York Road Runner's Learning Series for first-time New York City Marathon runners. "Polyurethane tends to get really stiff and cold in the winter, which could increase your risk of injury." Another important feature is a waterproof and windproof upper: Look for shoes made with Gortex, or wrap your mesh uppers in duct tape to keep feet dry and warm.
Research is a priority in terms of improving women's health. Research needs include diseases unique to women, more serious in women and those that differ in risk factors between women and men. The balance of gender in research studies needs to be balanced appropriately to allow analysis that will detect interactions between gender and other factors.[6] Gronowski and Schindler suggest that scientific journals make documentation of gender a requirement when reporting the results of animal studies, and that funding agencies require justification from investigators for any gender inequity in their grant proposals, giving preference to those that are inclusive. They also suggest it is the role of health organisations to encourage women to enroll in clinical research. However, there has been progress in terms of large scale studies such as the WHI, and in 2006 the Society for Women's Health Research founded the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences (OSSD) and the journal Biology of Sex Differences to further the study of sex differences.[6]
Carbohydrates should provide 45%–65% of your daily calories. Most of those calories should come from the complex carbohydrates in high-fiber and unrefined foods, such as bran cereal and other whole-grain products, brown rice, beans and other legumes, and many fruits and vegetables. These carbohydrates are digested and absorbed slowly, so they raise the blood sugar gradually and don't trigger a large release of insulin. People who eat lots of these foods have higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels and a lower risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. A good amount of soluble fiber in the diet lowers LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and high-fiber diets reduce the risk of intestinal disorders ranging from constipation and diverticulosis to hemorrhoids. Some studies have shown that fiber may help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Men need more fiber than women: 38 vs. 25 grams a day before the age of 50 and 30 vs. 21 grams a day thereafter.
First off, if you suspect you have a vitamin deficiency or you fall into one of those groups, you should definitely chat with your doctor or dietitian to determine which are lacking in your diet. And like I stated earlier, if you want to be sure you getting the recommended levels of vitamins and nutrients, I recommend a multivitamin like New Chapter's Every Woman's One Daily Multivitamin. It's expertly formulated for active women with nutrients for energy, stress, immune, heart and bone support*. My favorite thing about them is that they're made with superfood herbal blends that include ginger, organic turmeric, chamomile and European elderberry. The cool thing about New Chapter's supplements is that they're fermented with probiotics and whole foods, so they're gentle enough to take on an empty stomach.** They're also Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and vegetarian, which is great for so many lifestyles.
All of the identified studies focused on LNSs for pregnant and lactating women through antenatal care–based and –affiliated delivery platforms (97–101). These studies relied on antenatal care to recruit mothers but delivered the intervention through home visits. There was no evidence evaluating use of LNSs for women who were not pregnant or lactating. The majority of studies evaluating LNS interventions involved children with severe or moderate acute malnutrition. Although LNS supplementation could be an intervention to provide essential nutrients to women and girls, it is expensive. Filling energy gaps using local foods or other commodities can often be done at a lower cost (97). LNS supplementation should be limited to contexts in which cheaper, more sustainable solutions are not available.
Men who choose to drink and can do so responsibly may benefit from one to two drinks a day, counting 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer, or 1.5 ounces of spirits as one drink. But women face an extra risk: Even low doses of alcohol can raise their risk of breast cancer. So women who choose to drink might be wise to limit themselves to half as much as men.
The Center's Pelvic Floor 6 hour course is a prerequisite for all of the courses in our curriculum. We base our courses on the movement of the pelvis and how it affects the rest of the female body. We will also look at the pelvic floor from a healthy stand- point rather than a problematic one. This course will offer an in depth look at the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor, its application to movement and the breath and will discuss the reasons for dysfunction and how many of these problems can be prevented. Our approach contains both the scientific evidenced based research and the more holistic viewpoint of this most intimate part of the female body.
Granted, WFOB got me started working out on a regular basis but it wasn't very effective. I was kinda happy there until I started to try another gym (TFW Boston, also local gym in downtown crossing). TFW is definitely pricier than WFOB, for a good reason. There, not only I saw results quickly (toned and stronger), but also my mindsets about fitness has changed (why hour long cardio is bad for you, how to have a sustainable diet plan, etc.) The coaches cared about who you are, what your goals are, pushing you to your limits but not over.
Research from Tufts University nutrition scientists shows that Americans are drinking so much soda and sweet drinks that they provide more daily calories than any other food. Obesity rates are higher for people consuming sweet drinks. Also watch for hidden sugar in the foods you eat. Sugar may appear as corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, fruit juice concentrate or malt syrup, among other forms, on package labels.
Calcium may even be harmful for men, at least in large amounts. The worry is prostate cancer, and two Harvard studies have raised the alarm. In 1998, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study found that a high consumption of calcium from food or supplements was linked to an increased risk of advanced prostate cancer. The risk was greatest in men who got more than 2,000 mg a day. More recently, the U.S. Physicians' Health Study reported that a high consumption of calcium from dairy products appeared to increase a man's risk of prostate cancer by up to 37%. A study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle also found a link between calcium and advanced prostate cancer.

There are many well-documented challenges in disentangling empowerment interventions from other interventions with which they are delivered. Empowerment interventions are often integrated into income-generating activities and agricultural extension, and many empowerment approaches are retroactively classified as "nutrition-sensitive" despite a lack of nutrition components in the original intervention designs (5). In addition, many studies are limited in scope and their evaluation of nutrition outcomes (159), and it is difficult to evaluate which dimensions of women's empowerment matter most for nutrition (162). Notably, indicators to quantify women's empowerment are also not used consistently and vary widely between individual studies (158).
I subscribed to this magazine thinking it would be about health, fitness, and above all, working out. The headlines on the cover seemed to suggest that was true, with the biggest fonts advertising things like "flat abs now" and "maximize your workout". In reality, the content of the magazine is mostly beauty (how that counts as "health" is beyond me) and weight-loss. Oh, the endless, endless articles about "burn more fat!" "three new foods that will help you burn fat!" "drop pounds with this easy exercise!" I don't need to lose weight and I found that these articles just played into my growing impression, as issue after issue dropped on my doormat, that the magazine views women as vapid, stereotypical beings whose only desire is to look good, whether through exercise (almost inevitably restricted to cardio and yoga), the "right" work-out clothes (really?) or knowing what dress is in fashion or what color make-up to buy. If you enjoy that sort of thing, that's fine- it is essentially one step above Cosmopolitan on the seriousness scale. If you're looking for actual information about working out and building muscle, know that Women's Health magazine is barely aware that these things exist, and when it does, it will come wrapped in the form of "ten minutes a day to tone your bum like a super-model!" or something equally cringe-inducing.

Omega-3s: These essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, play many roles in the body, including building healthy brain and nerve cells. Some studies show that omega-3s, especially DHA, can help prevent preterm births. Even women who don't plan to have children should be sure to get plenty of omega-3s. These healthy oils have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, the number one killer of women.
Women and men differ in their chromosomal makeup, protein gene products, genomic imprinting, gene expression, signaling pathways, and hormonal environment. All of these necessitate caution in extrapolating information derived from biomarkers from one sex to the other.[6] Women are particularly vulnerable at the two extremes of life. Young women and adolescents are at risk from STIs, pregnancy and unsafe abortion, while older women often have few resources and are disadvantaged with respect to men, and also are at risk of dementia and abuse, and generally poor health.[17]
If you lose weight suddenly or for unknown reasons, talk to your health care professional immediately. Unexplained weight loss may indicate a serious health condition. And even if it doesn't, simply being underweight is linked to menstrual irregularity, menstrual cessation (and sometimes, as a result, dental problems, such as erosion of the enamel and osteoporosis) and a higher risk of early death.
Family planning and birth spacing can influence the nutrition of adolescent girls, women of reproductive age, and women with young children by reducing the number of adverse outcomes associated with pregnancy and abortion. For adolescent girls, in particular, pregnancy is associated with increased risk of birth complications, anemia, hindered linear growth, and loss of educational attainment (8, 107). Delaying early child marriages and providing access to family planning, particularly for young wives, allow girls to achieve their maximum growth potential (8, 142). However, for women with young children, there was scarce evidence from observational studies to suggest that greater birth spacing had any impact on anthropometric status (BMI, weight), micronutrient status (anemia, as well as serum zinc, copper, magnesium, and folate), and maternal mortality outcomes (13, 107, 143–147). Findings were mixed, which was attributed to sample size and other confounding factors such as maternal age, breastfeeding status, and supplementation status (146, 147). The strongest evidence of the impact of birth spacing on women's nutrition was related to increased risk of preterm delivery and maternal anemia in interpregnancy intervals <6 mo (14, 146, 147) and increased risk of pre-eclampsia in intervals >5 y (107).
Picture your perfect self with your flat abs, firmer butt, and slim thighs every day. Seeing really is believing: "You become consciously and acutely aware of everything that can help you achieve the visualized outcome that you desire when you impress an idea into the subconscious part of you," says celebrity yoga coach Gwen Lawrence. "It eventually becomes 'fixed,' and you automatically move toward that which you desire."
It's been a while since I've picked up any of these, but when I did, the messages weren't nearly as body-positive. In fact, a quick perusal of other Shape magazine covers from the 1980s (I was probably still reading Seventeen then, but still) shows a bunch of celebrity cover models who would like you to get off the couch immediately, with demands like "Get Strong!" and "Push For Fitness!" Also suspect: "How To Think And Eat Like A Thin Person" and "Is Food Your Lover? How To End The Affair."

The extent to which interventions target women more generally, as opposed to just mothers, is not well documented. It requires reflecting on "Who is the woman in women's nutrition?" to identify which women are actually targeted in nutrition interventions, which are not, how they are reached, and gaps in policies and interventions to reach women who are missed. To address this, in this comprehensive narrative review, we 1) summarize existing knowledge about interventions targeting women's health and nutrition in low- and middle-income countries, 2) identify gaps in current delivery platforms that are intended to reach women and address their health and nutrition, and 3) determine strategies to reshape policies and programs to reach all women, at all stages of their lives, with a particular focus on women in low- and middle-income countries.
Use MyPlate (PDF – 281 KB) as a guide to build a healthy diet. Think about filling your plate with foods from the five food groups — fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy — at each meal. Snacks can be a good way to fill in fruits and whole grains you might have missed at meals. Most of us don't need complicated calorie counting programs or special recipes for healthy eating.
Give your body a little more credit: It tells you when you're hungry—you may not be listening, though. Before chowing down because there's only one slice of pie left or because the last guest arrived at the brunch, stop and check in with your stomach. "If you're not hungry, make yourself a small plate and sip on some tea or coffee while everyone else digs in," recommends Elle Penner, M.P.H., R.D., a MyFitnessPal expert. When your belly starts to finally grumble, food will be there.
Delivery platforms for women across the life course. This Venn diagram represents the delivery platforms for different interventions by target population. The overlapping regions indicate delivery platforms that are shared by the target groups: adolescent girls, women of reproductive age, pregnant and lactating women, mothers of young children, and older women.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and the most common among women. It is also among the ten most common chronic diseases of women, and a substantial contributor to loss of quality of life (Gronowski and Schindler, Table IV).[6] Globally, it accounts for 25% of all cancers. In 2016, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among women in both developed and developing countries, accounting for nearly 30% of all cases, and worldwide accounts for one and a half million cases and over half a million deaths, being the fifth most common cause of cancer death overall and the second in developed regions. Geographic variation in incidence is the opposite of that of cervical cancer, being highest in Northern America and lowest in Eastern and Middle Africa, but mortality rates are relatively constant, resulting in a wide variance in case mortality, ranging from 25% in developed regions to 37% in developing regions, and with 62% of deaths occurring in developing countries.[17][122]

What began as the Pacific Railroad, the First Transcontinental Railroad began in 1869 between Council Bluffs Iowa/Omaha, Nebraska and Alameda California. By connecting the railroad with the Eastern United states, the two coasts were linked by railway. This transcontinental transportation network revolutionized the economy as well as the population of the American West. The railway was supported by the United States government in the form of bonds and was the culmination of a long movement to build a railway of this kind which linked the east and the west. It was one of the crowning achievements of President Abraham Lincoln even though it was not completed until four years after his death.
The building and operation of the Transcontinental railroad was a feat far beyond it's time and came at the cost of many lives, just as everything did at that time. Part of the motivation behind building the railroad was to unify the North and the South during the strife of the American Civil War. It is directly and indirectly responsible for the decline of the Native American Population and territorial rule.
Much of the original railway is still owned and used by Union Pacific Railroad, which is headquartered in Nebraska. This railroad was considered the greatest American technological feat of the 19th century. It became vital for trade, travel and commerce and essentially put an end to the days of the travel predecessor, the stage coach. It was the railroad which is said to have started the march of Manifest Destiny and the "Iron Horse" across Native American Land all but destroyed Great Plains Indian Culture. There is a negative for each positive and vice versa.


• The Chargers were down 14-3 at one point in the first half. They came back and managed to get to within two points. Instead of kicking the PAT, the Chargers attempted a two-point conversion pass to Mike Williams that fell short. There was no need to try to tie the game here. There was plenty of time left to get those two points back later. The Chargers would never come within two points again during the game.
• After a 20-yard completion to Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs crossed over into Chargers territory. The Chiefs have explosive players in Hill, Sammy Watkins, Travis Kelce among others. They have players that can run after the catch and have sure hands. Rather than try to move the ball this way, QB Patrick Mahomes wanted to take shots downfield. They had one timeout remaining and could have scored before the half if they had put their foot on the gas pedal. The Chiefs were also getting the ball back after the half. Perhaps they were reluctant to take a chance as they were afraid of a turnover that would see them losing the lead.
• After the Chargers scored on a Philip Rivers 4-yard pass to wide receiver Tyrell Williams, the Chargers were successful on a 2-point conversion that got them to within 10 of the Chiefs. This would not have been necessary had the Chargers not gone for and missed a 2-point conversion in the second quarter. Had they not been successful here, it would have required two touchdowns for the Chargers to either tie or go ahead in the game. With this conversion, the Chargers would need a combination of a touchdown and field goal to possibly tie the game.
• Kansas City's use of personnel was outstanding. Tyreek Hill was part of the game-plan throughout the game. He caught seven of Mahomes' completed passes, with a number of those being short shovel passes that gave Hill the ball in the open field and near the line of scrimmage. This allowed Mahomes to get into rhythm, gain confidence and, more importantly, play with a lead. Hill also made a number of catches down field.
• Similarly De'Anthony Thomas, a Hill clone, also scored a touchdown and was featured in the offense. He is coming off a major injury. It will be interesting to see whether Hill and Thomas will have the same roles going forward in this offense as you have to run special plays for Thomas and Hill at times. Also, this takes away touches from others on this team like Travis Kelce (1 catch) and Sammy Watkins (3 catches).
•The Chargers made few adjustments defensively to what the Chiefs were doing. They certainly missed defensive lineman Joey Bosa, who might be out for an extended period with a foot injury. This limits what they can do schematically. They do have 2018 first-round pick, safety Derwin James all over the field.
• To the Chargers' credit, they did not ignore the run after going down early. They ran the ball consistently throughout the afternoon with Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler. Both of them featured prominently in the passing attack as well.
• This was Andy Reid and the Chiefs' ninth straight win over the Chargers.
• The Chargers really have no home-field advantage. The stadium appeared to be covered in red. We wonder if the Chargers coaching staff has to pump in crowd noise to simulate conditions at home as well. This isn't meant to be snarky. That's a serious question.

 How To Size a Wetsuit | Discover The Best Wetsuit For You!
When choosing a wetsuit, knowing exactly what to look for in the sizing guides from each manufacturer will help you to achieve a comfortable fit. A suit that fits correctly also keeps you warm by preventing water from flushing in and chilling you down. Here is our quick guide to wetsuit sizing.
Many people find when buying their first wetsuit that it feels tight on the shoulders – but it should be skin-tight, there should be no bulges or loose areas as these are where water will flow in a chill you down.
Be sure that you have chosen the correct torso length. If it is too short it will be difficult to zip up the suit and it will feel uncomfortable. If you cannot find your exact torso length, choose a suit with a slightly longer one – you will never notice a problem!
Pay particular attention to the lower back and the area over the kidneys. Having a good fit in this area and keeping water out will help to keep you warmer. You can check for fit by 'grabbing' the material of the wetsuit in this area while you are wearing it, between your thumb and index finger – ideally, you should not be able to grab and pull up any surplus material.
The fit around the neck is very important. It should not be so tight that it 'strangles' you but tight enough to prevent water from flowing in. After you have worn a new suit a few times, it will mold to your body shape and feel more comfortable.
If you find a suit that is a perfect fit in the body but a little long in the arms or legs, don't worry too much about any slight wrinkles in the neoprene as these will disappear when you are in the water.
If you get these four things right, you are certain to get a good fit.
How to size a wetsuit for women is simpler than for men. Women's wetsuits are available in dress sizes but there are still some variations between manufacturers so it is important to check their guides to ensure correct fitting at the key points. If you are above or below average height, there are size variations available within dress sizes for taller or shorter women.
Many women who have not previously worn a wetsuit find the neck fitting uncomfortably tight when trying on a new suit. If the fitting is correct, this uncomfortable feeling will pass after the first few times you wear the suit as it molds to your body shape and you get used to the feel of it.
Please refer to the 'Fitting Tips for Wetsuits' section above to ensure that you get a suit that will keep you comfortable and warm.
Wetsuit sizing for children again depends on choosing waist, chest, and height. Many children's wetsuits go by age of the child for size increments. Obviously, not all children of the same age are the same height, so it is better to rely on the key measurements mentioned in the men's section for a more accurate sizing guide.
How to size a wetsuit for every member of the family is easy if you remember the key points to check and always refer to individual manufacturer's sizing guides.


The challenges on goals are designed to support you to get started and then the subsequent accountability as you go through the process so that they don't just end up being a list in drawer.
We all know that we should take a balanced diet and take a reasonable amount of regular exercise. However our reality is that we sometimes need a little push to keep a focus on our health and well being needs.
Often in our busy lives we can neglect to take time to fully embrace self-care. These challenges are about taking time to be nurture yourself.
Communication is fundamental to all our lives and the patterns that we engage in contribute significantly to our sense of well being. Below are some general themes that affect our communication.
Are You Working Towards Your Dreams?


When buying new leather stuff, you can often feel unbearable strong odor that is characteristic of all products made of genuine leather. This can be a jacket, bag, shoes or sheepskin. But it is on this basis and to distinguish the real thing from imitation leather. There are a few simple ways to help rid your new thing from unpleasant smell.
To eliminate the unpleasant smell of leather in one simple way. To do this, treat the surface with a solution of ammonia and soap. Then wipe it with castor oil, in its absence, can be replaced with glycerin or vaseline.
Many people try to remove the smell of the leather with acetone or gasoline. Remember, do not in any case impossible, otherwise the surface will are degreased and quickly come into disrepair. Wonderful smell of lavender skin treatment peel of fresh orange.
Strong smell of new leather can be easily removed with the help of coffee. To do this, take a handful of fresh beans and sprinkle the product, leave this form on the day. This popular recipe has been known since ancient times. However, many experts insist on his insecurity as the product of light skin can be covered with traces of coffee. So use this tip for dark skin.
If an unpleasant smell comes from the leather shoes, you will help the hydrogen peroxide. Soak it in cotton wool and carefully wipe shoes with the inside. Repeat the procedure several times for best results. Can buy special insoles, aromatic or coal, which eliminate the unpleasant smell.
Wipe the leather with cotton wool soaked in a weak solution of potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide. The unpleasant smell will disappear.
Needs expensive perfume to kill the odor, fortunately, the modern ladies do not neglect the advice and pour over a whole bottle of perfume.
Store leather things in wardrobes, this place is wonderful will protect them to high temperatures and ultraviolet radiation. If you don't remove the jacket one or more seasons, can detect the odor of mustiness. As often as you can reach for things and ventilate them.

New Times, New Art
I don't know if the Surveillance Camera Players are still a going concern, but I just love the concept: a troupe of players who put on little dramas in front of surveillance cameras. Talk about narrowcasting! This is performance art at its finest. Unfortunately, all the links to movies of their performances, such as Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," performed at the Astor Place subway station, Manhattan, don't appear to work. But their Web site was updated at the end of August, so perhaps we can hope that the troupe is still out there keeping it real.

A new tool for identifying climate-adaptive coral reefs
Climate change is threatening the world's coral reefs, and saving them all will prove impossible. A team from EPFL has developed a method for identifying corals with the greatest adaptive potential to heat stress. The research, published in the journal Evolutionary Applications, should support improved and better-targeted marine biodiversity conservation strategies.
Interview on World Water Day on 22 March 2020
The theme to this year's UNESCO World Water Day is "Water and Climate Change". Environmental scientist Martin Schmid, who is Head of the Eawag Group Applied System Analysis in the Surface Waters Department, talks about how climate change is impacting on waterbodies in Switzerland.
Climate change will disrupt existing energy systems
As climate changes and extreme weather events become more commonplace, we will need to fundamentally rethink how we produce renewable energy. Researchers at EPFL have developed a simulation method to reduce the adverse influences due to climate-related uncertainties in the energy sector and guarantee robust operation of energy infrastructure during extreme climate events.
Our carbon footprint is highly impacted by how we live
Swiss households have excessively large carbon footprints. However, that footprint depends more on socio-economic status than location – whether the household is in the countryside or the city – because people travel more in the country but consume more in cities.
Mountain vegetation dries out Alpine water fluxes
ETH researchers confirm the paradox: rather than withering during droughts, plants at higher elevations absolutely thrive, as a study just published in the journal Nature Climate Change shows.
Let's talk about system change
It's 2020 and Christoph Kueffer is now into his fifth year of (almost) not flying. Whereas not flying hasn't been difficult, talking about social change still is, he asserts.

===Notes about playing the game in a terminal=== Mouse support works best in the SDL version of the game. Chances are if you don't know which version of the game you're playing it's the SDL version (arcane_fortune.bat, arcane_fortune_linux, or arcane_fortune_osx, depending on platform). However, if you do wish to run the game in a terminal emulator directly, you can use the *_ncurses versions of the game also provided. On Linux, mouse support works best in Konsole. If you don't care about the mouse then the choice of terminal emulators doesn't seem to matter much.

Marvel Comics Teams With Komen. Do They Have a Progressive Problem?
Posted on June 27, 2012 by Brett
(via Wikipedia)
Marvel has announced they are teaming up with Susan G. Komen For the Cure in October for a little pink-washing to raise awareness during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They'll be sporting pink covers on some of their comics (you can see examples below) as well as including educational material in the form of a one page advertisement as well as material on their social networks to raise "awareness" about breast cancer.
Dan Buckley, Publisher & President of the Print, Animations & Digital Divisions of Marvel had this to say:
Marvel is proud to partner with Susan G. Komen For the Cure to support their unparalleled efforts to raise awareness about the risk of breast cancer to both women and men. We're in a unique position to educate all our fans and increase awareness of the ways to fight—and reduce– this risk of this disease by utilizing our comics and online presence.
Normally, I'd praise a company for teaming up for this type of education program, but Marvel's teaming up with Susan G. Komen For the Cure is the latest example of their working with less than progressive organizations and companies.
In February, Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation changed their grant regulations and those changes seemed to only affect their contributions and working with Planned Parenthood, an organization that's seems to have come under greater attack from the right in recent years. That decision came shortly after Komen unveiled a new partnership that strengthens its ties to the George W. Bush Institute. The reality was some of the (Republican) higher ups at Komen weren't happy with Planned Parenthood focusing 3% of their time on abortion services (contraceptive offerings make up more than 33% of its work) and decided to ignore the 97% of their other work helping women, including education about breast cancer.
As you can imagine shit hit the fan, Komen took a dive in donations and support and they backpedaled and refunded Planned Parenthood with a rather poorly thought out statement. The decision makers left the organization as well as some board members, but the damage was done in the public's eye, especially for me, a progressive who has raised money for Komen and donated to Planned Parenthood. Their actions showed I couldn't trust them.
Komen has also been accused of "Pinkwashing." That's when a company or organization claims to care about breast cancer by promoting a pink ribbon product, but at the same time produces, manufactures and/or sells products that are linked to the disease. Many products that Komen puts pink ribbons on actually have pthalates that are hormone disrupters and may cause cancer. I don't know first hand if Marvel falls into that category (I'd have to imagine pthalates are in some products they sell or have licensed though).
How about Marvel donates some portion from the sale of those comics to some worthy breast cancer prevention causes as well?
But, this post isn't about Komen, it's about Marvel and their teaming up with questionable organizations and companies.
To promote The Avengers, Marvel teamed up with Walmart. That was smart in that the store is a leader in toy sales, but, they have an abysmal record in so many ways. We could do entire posts (and there's entire organizations) dedicated to Walmart's record, but here's some of the hits as provided by Walmart Watch:
196,000 is the estimated number of U.S. jobs lost from 2001-2006 as a result of Walmart's imports from China
The company has written hundreds of press releases and thousands of blog posts, but made little actual progress in reducing the environmental impact of their products.
Walmart's health care plans fail to cover hundreds of thousands of associates. In 2009, Walmart claimed that 52% of associates were covered under their healthcare plan. The company has refused to disclose coverage rates for its 1.4 million U.S. employees since then.
Walmart stopped offering health insurance to part-time employees (working less than 24 hours per week) in 2012
Taxpayers are forced to provide healthcare for Walmart's Associates. Hundreds of thousands of Associates and their family members qualify for publicly funded health insurance. Indeed, according to data compiled by Good Jobs First, in 21 of 23 states which have disclosed information, Walmart has the largest number of employees on the public rolls of any employer.
Walmart has reportedly been covering up widespread bribery in Mexico.
The Walmart PAC and the Walton family give big money to politicians who oppose LGBT rights
The value of Walmart to the economy will likely be less than the value of the jobs and businesses it replaces.
Walmart costs taxpayers an estimated $1 billion per year subsidizing low wages and benefits.
Although the company will often cite higher numbers, the average Walmart Associate makes just $8.81 per hour according to a study published by Bloomberg News. An employee who works Walmart's definition of full-time (34 hours per week) makes just $15,500 per year. That means hundreds of thousands of people who work full-time at Walmart still live below the poverty line.
Walmart was the defendant in the largest class action gender discrimination lawsuit in history, Dukes v. Walmart. The plaintiffs alleged Walmart discriminated against women in promotions, pay, and job assignments. The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit in 2011 for technical reasons and many of the plaintiffs are in the process of filing smaller suits.
And that's just a few highlights of why Walmart sucks. I wonder if Marvel took any of this into account? But then, Marvel isn't all that great when it comes to creators that have worked for them. You have their ongoing battle with the Kirby family, then their counter suing of Gary Friedrich (the creator of Ghost Rider) who is destitute and whose health is failing and then they scored their movie overseas avoiding U.S. unions… you wonder how "progressive" they really are? Maybe we can ask their buddy, Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg who they've worked with a lot over the years on various initiatives?
I think Marvel needs to look around and think that with their great power comes some responsibility. Their words are great, it's their deeds that need to reflect those more.
The "Komen covers" will appear on Avengers #31, Captain America #18, Captain Marvel #5, Fantastic Four #611, Invincible Iron Man #526, Mighty Thor #21, Uncanny X-Men #20, Wolverine #315.

Harry Doan was passionate about old airplanes.
Friends were stunned to learn Saturday that he died in one.
The popular Daytona Beach restaurateur, seasoned pilot and aircraft collector was killed at the Valiant Air Command Warbird Air Show.
"He was flying a beautiful aircraft," said longtime friend Dayton Peyton of Daytona Beach. "Fate just got him."
The freak runway accident occurred about 2:15 p.m. after the 62-year-old Doan landed a DA Sky-raider attack bomber at the Space Coast Executive Airport about five miles south of Titusville, said Joan Heller, Brevard County sheriff's spokeswoman.
Doan, who had just flown as part of the show, landed and taxied to the westernmost end of the east-west runway and began to turn the aircraft when the plane's wheels went off the runway. The wheels hit soft sand, and the plane flipped, nose end first, and came to rest upside down, said Kevin Quinlan, a spokesman for the Valiant Air Command.
The hood over the plane's cockpit was crushed, and Doan, who was wearing safety restraints, was dead at the scene, Heller said.
Quinlan said the plane, a propeller-driven single-engine attack bomber, had a high canopy for increased visibility in combat. The Skyraider was a vintage aircraft of the type used in bombing raids in Vietnam.
Control tower observers reported the accident, but no witnesses close to the scene had been found by Saturday night, Quinlan said. None of the estimated 12,000 to 15,000 spectators would have seen the accident, Quinlan said. The remainder of Saturday's show was canceled.
For more than 20 years Doan was owner of the 1,009-foot Ocean Pier in Daytona Beach and Doan's Helicopter Service, through which he bought, refurbished and resold helicopters. He also collected vintage World War II aircraft.
"The old planes just intrigued him," Peyton said.
Doan owned several restaurants in Daytona Beach: Hog Heaven Bar-B-Q, Dirty Harry's bar and the up-scale Kay's Coach House.
"There's some long, long faces out here," said Gene Howard, general manager of the Ocean Pier. "I've got grown men calling, crying. No one can believe he's dead - he was very much larger than life."
Doan and his wife, Theresa, who was at the show, were among the founding members in 1978 of the Valiant Air Command, a private 1,000-member organization of vintage aircraft enthusiasts.
He owned at least 20 airplanes and several hangars, Quinlan said.
"I never met a man who loved flying more," Quinlan said.
The annual show features airplanes engaging in dogfights, strafing runs and pyrotechnics, modern war planes and ground displays. Thousands of people attend the show every year.
The exact cause of Doan's death will not be known until an autopsy is completed today, Heller said.
The accident, which is under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, is the second fatality at the air show in three years.
On March 10, 1989, Anthony Ziemiecki, a 48-year-old pilot and flight instructor from Cocoa Beach, was killed when his single-engine plane crashed during an aerobatic maneuver at the 12th annual air show.
The air show will continue today at 8 a.m. Saturday tickets will be honored because of the incomplete show.
"It was a terrific day, terrific weather, a terrific sky and such a tragic ending," said Quinlan. "If Harry was here, he would say for us to go on."

AnimeFest brings Cos Play and Connections to Dallas August 17th-20th
By	James D Smithey on July 13th, 2018
AnimeFest is a convention for fans of anime, manga, games and other forms of pop-culture. As the name suggests, AnimeFest, is largely based around "anime" or Japanese animation. Its' primary motivation to educate the public about anime and the cultural aspects surrounding it. When formed back in 1992 the term "anime" was largely unknown. Many of the "cartoons" on TV were adaptations of Japanese TV shows and some began to realize this and seek more. A small, but rapidly growing fandom was emerging out of the science fiction/fantasy fandom.
Anime fandom in the US was really started back in the 70's, but it didn't gain any significant traction until the late 1980's. Teenagers (at the time) were drawn to anime shows without realizing their origins because of the unusual style and themes presented. These imported shows were unlike anything we had seen before. Anime was different from cartoons as it presented topics in a more mature way. Shows like Star Blazers and Robotech introduced teenagers to the wonders of a serialized story line, love, hate and death. Topics that US TV producers seemed to feel that we should be completely shielded from. Somehow these imports made it onto the air and once we had a taste, we needed more. Thus anime fandom blossomed. Interested? Come see what the 2018 AnimeFest has to offer.

Macrobid is a common antibiotic that is typically used to treat bladder infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. It will only work to treat bacterial infections and is of no use against viral infections like the common cold or the flu. Using it too much can cause the body to build up a resistance to the medication and it will not be as effective. Infants less than one month old should not be given this medication and it should only be used to treat infections in the bladder and not elsewhere in the body.
Macrobid should be taken orally with food. It is normally taken twice a day; once at morning and once at night. It should not be chewed up but swallowed whole to achieve the best results. While you are taking this medicine do not take antacids or other supplements that contain magnesium. They can prevent the body from being properly absorbed into the body.
Typical, non serious side effects may include headache or nausea. If they get too severe to handle or a lot worse contact your doctor. Macrobid may cause the urine to turn extremely dark. This is only a temporary condition and should go away as shortly after the medicine is no longer being taken. However, dark urine can also be a symptom of a more serious liver disease. If you have brown or very dark urine along with stomach/abdominal pain, tiredness, irregular heartbeat, yellow eyes or skin, or vomiting call the doctor immediately.
There are some rare but serious side effects that can occur from taking this medication. Be sure to report anything such as eye pain, changes in vision, mood swings, severe or persistent headaches or signs of new infection to your doctor immediately. Go to the nearest emergency room if you experience numbness of extremities or unusual muscle weakness.


I read More Happy Than Not last year and found it a little too dark for me, I found it difficult to read and honestly it put me off reading the rest of his novels. Myself and Sophie and some other friends have tickets to meet Adam (and Becky Albertalli) in Manchester at the end of October, so I figured I should give another one of his books and try and we needed up choosing it for book club.
They both Die At The End was probably the book I was most interested in. it follows Rufus and Mateo as they meet on their final day, their death day. They become friends and live their final day the best way they could together. These two characters have never met before this day and are looking for some kind of last friendship out of each other after meeting on an app.
The book is set over their final day, the whole story taking place in just twenty-four hours which I actually very much appreciated. I really enjoy novels set like this and it definitely kept the story moving for me. I found it to be quite fast paced anyway, but having the book set in such a short space of time made it go by quite fast. More so than antthing, I honestly really enjoyed the story and found very little issue with it as a whole, so that made it go by quite quickly as well.
Mateo and Rufus aren't the only excellent characters in this cast. We hear a lot about their friends and also some characters that lives intertwine with theirs along the way. It's one of the best novels I've read with intertwining storylines, and I really like the way it was done so subtly. We got to expose each character in a lot of depth and we got their whole life story in the day we knew them, and the whole book felt really special because of that.
The idea of DeathCast and basically the whole idea of the book really interested me. The idea that you find out on the day you die that you will die but you don't know where, when or how really intrigued me. It made me think a lot about what I would do in a similar situation and how society must change to accept something like DeathCast in to their lives.
In short, I absolutely adored this book. The characters were excellent and exciting but also realistic, the storyline was incredibly interesting and the writing was a huge step up from More Happy Than Not. I recommend that everyone reads this book and feels all the things for Rufus and Mateo.
