MIAMI — Rosa Hernandez remembers this about her dentist: He sure could close a deal. She and her husband, Mauricio, had gone to Dr. Rene Piedra with a host of concerns. She had sensitive gums and a paralyzing fear of dentists. He needed bonding. Piedra, dressed in a business suit instead of a dental coat, showed them computerized models of how he would fix their teeth. He offered them a discount because they came in together, and helped them with a ...

Federal court hearing ends impasse between judges — St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
Author(s): Thomas C. Tobin
TAMPA — An unusual impasse between two area judges came to a close after a hearing Tuesday in federal court. U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday clarified an order he issued last week, saying he never meant for it to stop Pinellas Senior Circuit Judge Robert E. Beach from withdrawing from a case involving the Church of Scientology. Merryday said he issued the order only to prevent Beach from fining and suspending attorney Ken Dandar, who Beach determined had defied him. ...

Usually it's the lawyers who tussle back and forth in court. But a dispute involving the Church of Scientology has two of the area's most notable judges locking horns, each saying the other stepped outside his jurisdiction. Pinellas judge Robert E. Beach has filed a motion in federal court in Tampa saying U.S. District Judge Steven D. Merryday erred last week when he "permanently enjoined" Beach from carrying out sanctions against lawyer Ken Dandar, who is challenging Scientology. Merryday's order appeared ...

TAMPA — A federal judge has ordered a Pinellas judge and the Church of Scientology to halt their efforts to severely punish Ken Dandar, a Tampa lawyer who is taking the church to court for the second time in his career. The action Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday involves Pinellas Judge Robert Beach, who has said he intends to impose a $130,000 fine on Dandar and possibly suspend his license to practice law.

TAMPA — Scientology's most vocal local critic, Ken Dandar, faced disaster. A circuit judge had found him in contempt of court this week and assessed a judgment of $130,000 — to be paid to the Church of Scientology. Dandar might lose his car. He might even lose his law license. All of that, he told a federal judge Friday, because Dandar isn't bowing out of a federal case against the church. But the judge may have given Dandar a reprieve.

Islamabad: Pakistan on Tuesday rejected as "falsehood" the Indian charge of "attempts to incite Sikh pilgrims" to raise the issue of Khalistan.
"By spreading such falsehoods, India stokes the controversy regarding visit of Sikh pilgrims, attending the Baisakhi and Khalsa ceremonies in Pakistan," tweeted Faisal.
Faisal tweeted that Pakistn "remain committed to continuing such cooperation, which is in line with our religious ethos, traditions of hospitality, and provisions of the 1974 Protocol on Visits to Religious Shrines. No amount of Indian propaganda could succeed in turning this right into a wrong," tweeted Faisal.


Job applications were received from all over the globe and dozens of residents took part in an exhaustive selection process to hire a Community Economic Development Officer for Gabriola, DeCourcy and Mudge islands. The successful candidate starts the new job this week, and her name is Julie Sperber.
Sperber has lived in the community for 11 years and her two children were born on Gabriola. She has been a studio artist, a market vendor, and she founded a series of island-based businesses, including Red Roaster Coffee and the Old Crow Cafe.
"Julie Sperber has been effectively doing this job in our community for years as a valued volunteer and mentor to entrepreneurs and anyone starting something new here. This job is all about balancing economic development with positive social impact and sustainable practices, and we believe Julie is the best person to get this started in a good way," said Graham Bradley, a farmer and founder of the Gabriola Food Hub who serves as Chair of the Economic Development Advisory Group.
That advisory group is made up of volunteers and ensures that the base funding for economic development from the Regional District of Nanaimo to the Chamber of Commerce is administered in a way that reflects and represents the needs of islanders.
"To say I am excited about this position is an understatement and I can't wait to get started," Sperber said. "Community economic development really resonates with me because it is not just about an economy of scale and growth. It is created by the community with that community's unique needs, assets and values in mind and it aims to build resiliency in structures through collaboration and democracy.

Someone opened Zelda: Breath of the Wild's glitchy, "impossible" to open chest
Yeah, we happy.
News by Jeffrey Matulef Contributor
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild isn't short of mysteries. With hundreds of sidequests to complete and Korok Seeds to uncover, you'll be playing Link's latest adventure for a long time before you've seen it all. But there's one mystery that remained unsolvable due to what one can only assume is a glitch in the game.
Buried in a small inlet between the Clarnet Coast and Aris Beach lies a buried treasure chest. Ordinarily, Link can snag these out of the ground with his magnesis ability, yet, in this specific instance that doesn't work. You can latch onto it, but tug all you want: it won't budge.
Given how long this thing has remained a mystery, fans have collectively decided it's almost definitely a bug. Thus if the chest can't play by the rules of Breath of the Wild, neither will its most dedicated players.
As such, YouTuber Leonardo Ramallo used an emulator with a modded save file to clip through the water so they're standing on the seafloor. Even doing this the game still usually won't let Link open it, but if you get him perfectly positioned he'll clip through the ground just enough to allow the open prompt to work.
And what do you get for this fourth wall-breaking feat?
An opal. You get an opal.
That's it! Just a common shiny ore that can be found in countless deposits across the map.
So there you have it. Clearly it's an error in the game's programming and not a complex puzzle or a secret saved for future DLC. Just a run-of-the-mill mineraloid buried at sea.

Verbal Abuse in Relationships: What is it and what can you do?
The definition of verbal abuse is spoken words used with the intent to cause harm. Verbally abusive statements are directed at another person, causing emotional suffering and leading to depression, low self esteem and even thoughts of suicide. In addition to the psychological effects, verbal abuse can lead to physical ailments resulting from stress and a depressed immune system.
Verbal abuse is hurtful and frequently attacks the character and/or abilities of the victim. Over time, the victim may begin to believe that there is something wrong with them or their abilities. The victim may come to feel that they are the problem, rather than their partner.
Verbal abuse is judging and criticizing. The abuser may judge the victim and then express that judgment in a critical way.
Verbal abuse may be overt or covert. Overt abuse usually involves blame and accusations. Covert verbal abuse involves hidden aggression, and is even more confusing to the victim.
Verbal abuse is about control and manipulation. Even reproachful comments may be voiced in an extremely sincere and concerned way.
Verbal abuse is often subtle. The victim's self-esteem gradually diminishes, usually without them realizing it. They may consciously or unconsciously try to change their behavior so as not to upset the abuser.
Verbal abuse is not a side issue; it is the issue in the relationship. When a couple is having an argument about a real issue, the issue can be resolved. In a verbally abusive relationship, there is no specific conflict. The issue is the abuse, and this is not resolved. There is no closure.
Verbal abuse may escalate, increasing in intensity, frequency, and variety. It may begin with put-downs disguised as jokes and evolve later into other forms. Sometimes it can escalate into physical abuse.
Trivializing can also be a form of verbal abuse. It is an attempt to take something that is said or done and make it insignificant.
Verbal abuse is blocking and diverting. The abuser refuses to communicate, decides what can and can\'t be discussed, or withholds information.
Verbal abuse may also include undermining, threatening, name-calling, forgetting the abuse ever happened and/or giving orders.
Currently, it is thought that verbal abuse may be the worst of the three principle abuse categories (physical, emotional and verbal) because memories of physical or emotional abuse may fade, but insults can often be remembered word for word, indefinitely. Abuse is about control. To escape it, you can take control of your own feelings and the way you communicate without trying to control the other person. Love should not hurt.
The first step in ending verbal abuse is recognizing that you are in a verbally abusive relationship. If your partner often makes malicious comments that hurt you emotionally, seek outside help in putting a stop to it. The old saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," is clearly untrue ? words can cause damage. And that damage may stick with you throughout your entire life. Some relationships are much more abusive than others. If you generally have a good relationship but it deteriorates into pointless arguing, you can probably fix it. Even a more abusive relationship may be worth working on if you can see improvements over time. If you seem to be moving in the right direction, don't ask why, just keep moving. Consider leaving if the abuser will not listen, is inflexible, will not consider counseling, tells everyone that you are crazy or that you are the abuser, wears two masks (a nice one for the world and the abusive one for you) or insists that everything be done their way or the highway.

Democratic convention chatter dominated the social media conversation last week, but brands largely stayed away. Instead, brands like Häagen-Dazs, Taco Bell and Takis tickled fans with interactive experiences and humor. Expect them to get a little more involved this week, when the Olympics kick off in Rio. Indeed, judging by last week's activity, some of them can hardly wait.
Marketers are always looking for innovative ways to engage with consumers. Last week, Nestle-owned Häagen-Dazs brought an interactive experience to Twitter that accomplished just that. Generating 1,942 likes and 253 retweets, this post lets viewers slide their cursors over spoonfuls of different flavors of ice cream to get details about each flavor.
When viewers slide over the coffee flavor, for instance, the image of the spoon expands and the text reads, "The same bold cold brew since 1960." Unfortunately, some commenters wrote that the 'slide' experience had glitches.
I wish I was full of tacos instead of emotions.
The fast food brand has a large following on Twitter, 1.75 million to be exact. Last week, an amusing one-liner—"I wish I was full of tacos instead of emotion"— received 9,741 likes and 10,017 retweets.
In this Facebook post, Takis photoshopped a hand with an extraordinary number of fingers holding a giant pile of the brand's chips. The post garnered 91,000 impressions and 5,882 shares. In the 3,300 comments, people expressed their frustrations at trying to find the chips in their locations.
#TeamUSA athletes are the focus of United Airlines' latest commercial, called 'One Journey. Two Teams.' Posted a week before the start of the 2016 Olympics in Rio, the post received 1.6 million views, 16,000 impressions, 21,543 shares and 520 comments.
The clothing giant chose lifestyle blogger Daniel Preda to model in this tweet for its Dockers brand. The tweet got 1,664 likes and 288 retweets. Preda @MisterPreda has 129,000 followers on Twitter and retweeted this original tweet.
In an Instagram post that generated 121,000 likes and 1,221 comments in four days, the gaming brand posted a photo of a store display of Xbox One controllers. The photo shows an array of the different colors consumers can choose from. The brand ties the variety into the text of the post—it simply reads "mix and match."

International seminar at National Defense College
5 June 2012 kl: 08.23
Last updated: 8 July 2013 kl: 14.13
During the 22-23 of May the newly established Nordic Centre for Gender in Military Operations hosted a gender seminar, where international flag officers, ambassadors and representatives from NATO, UN and EU came together to discuss gender in the military/security context.

The seminar was attended by the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Margot Wallström, who highlighted the necessity of using a gender perspective in armed conflicts. All participants agreed upon the importance of integrating gender perspectives in military and security operations, as they all agreed to make the seminar an annual event.
This was the first international flag officer seminar arranged by the Nordic Centre for Gender in Military Operations (NCGM), gathering a number of experienced officers, university doctors as well as NATO- EU- and UN representatives to discuss how working with gender perspectives in a military/security environment contributes to the overall political, military strategic and operational objectives. In order to achieve a long term solution on gender implementation in security operations the seminar presented several highly respected guests and lecturers who shared their experiences and lessons learned. It was addressed in what way the military part of the strategic and operational environment is part of the solution. The main purpose of this seminar was to raise the shared knowledge on how gender perspectives can be integrated into daily work as well as in operational planning, execution and evaluation at strategic and operational levels, by using a comprehensive approach as the model to fully integrate gender perspectives into military operations.
During the first day the fundamental groundwork was placed in order to understand the function of UNSCR 1325 and this was completed by a lecture and discussion with Ms Margot Wallström, UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) on Sexual Violence in Conflict. Ms Wallström is finishing her mission in the upcoming days and told the audience that she will leave her post with a heavy heart but hope for the future.
The second day was introduced by Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, General Abrial (FR A), who addressed the seminar by video from his Head Quarters in Norfolk USA. General Abrial explained the effort ACT put into the implementing of a gender perspective at all levels within NATO Forces and Command structure.
After the two day flag officer seminar participants had received general knowledge about gender in relation to related documents, policies, guidelines and directives, as well as gained understanding of using a gender perspective as an operational tool and force multiplier. This was completed by the ability to use a comprehensive approach and a gender perspective, how to cooperate in the arena between civilian, humanitarian, military and other security actors.
The working process during the seminar consisted of several methods, from lectures to syndicate working groups. The lectures were finished with a possibility to debate around the brought up issue. This created an environment for interaction between the audience and the lecturer, and since the gathering only consisted of 25-35 participants, it contributed to an easygoing ambiance in the room. Dr Magnus Norell put focus on the postmodern conflict threats occurring in mission areas, where using a gender perspective is as far as rocket science can be. When observing women as non-actors is not only excluding them from the peace process but also creating a threat as we have failed to see female insurgents several times throughout history.
Many fruitful discussions were held and conclusions were drawn, encouraging the visitors to enhance their ability to implement a gender perspective in their daily work as well as in the planning process.

Home visiting programs operate around the country to prevent child maltreatment, improve maternal and child health outcomes, and increase school readiness. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 authorized the creation of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program, expanding federal funding of home visiting programs.
The Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation (MIHOPE) is a legislatively mandated, large-scale evaluation of the effectiveness of home visiting programs funded by MIECHV. It will systematically estimate the effects of MIECHV home visiting programs on a wide range of outcomes and study the variation in how programs are implemented.
MIHOPE includes four evidence-based home visiting program models: (1) Early Head Start - Home Based Program Option, (2) Healthy Families America, (3) Nurse-Family Partnership, and (4) Parents as Teachers. Two of these models are also included in the related MIHOPE-Strong Start study, which examines birth outcomes for women who are enrolled in Medicaid.

Results from the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation
Home visiting programs aim to support the healthy development of infants and toddlers in families with low incomes. This report presents the findings from a study that estimated the cost of providing home visiting services.
Design of the Mother and Infant Home Visiting Program Evaluation Long-Term Follow-Up
Home visiting provides information, resources, and support to expectant parents with low incomes and families with young children and low incomes. This report presents the proposed design for long-term follow-ups with families in a recent large study of home visiting, continuing through the time their children are in high school.
A Summary of Results from the MIHOPE and MIHOPE-Strong Start Studies of Evidence-Based Home Visiting
Home visiting provides information, resources, and support to expectant low-income parents and low-income families with young children. This brief summarizes reports from two national studies of early childhood home visiting.
Agenda, Scope, and Goals
MIHOPE will provide federal and state policymakers, service providers, and other interested parties with valuable information about whether and how home visiting programs improve outcomes for children and families.
MIHOPE will enroll approximately 4,300 at-risk families who are expecting a baby or have an infant up to 6 months old. The study includes 88 program sites in 12 states nationwide. MIHOPE includes four evidence-based home visiting models: Early Head Start - Home Based Program Option, Healthy Families America, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Parents as Teachers.
MIHOPE has a number of aims. It will:
Assess the effects of the programs on child and parent outcomes, including prenatal, maternal, and newborn health; child health and development; parenting skills; school readiness and academic achievement; crime and domestic violence; family economic self-sufficiency; and referrals and service coordination
Examine how the program models operate in their local and state contexts, linking implementation strategies to program impacts to inform the field about the types of program features or strategies that might lead to greater impacts on families
Assess the potential of the programs to affect the health care system and to reduce costs

An analysis of the state needs assessments that were provided in the state MIECHV applications
An effectiveness study that incorporates random assignment and an implementation study, which together will investigate how the program models operate in their local and state contexts, describe the families who participate, and examine health disparities and outcomes
An economic analysis that will estimate the financial costs of operating the programs
Data will be collected through a variety of means, including surveys, reviews of program policies, administrative records, interviews with state administrators, videotaped observations of selected home visits, web-based surveys of local staffs, and web-based activity logs kept by home visitors and supervisors.
The study includes 88 program sites in 12 states nationwide: California, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Washington, and Wisconsin. In January 2015 early findings were released in the MIHOPE Report to Congress.

Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers and state police have started a website that gives people who use social networks and mobile devices an easier, more effective way to help authorities find those wanted for crimes.
The www.PACrimeStoppers.org website was developed in partnership with Crime Watch Pennsylvania and is part of the Crime Watch Network, the governor's office announced on Thursday. The network has new technology developed specifically for law enforcement agencies in the state that allows for the easy organization and dissemination of fugitive and offender profiles.
"With the new Crime Stoppers portal, we can post cases once on the site, and they will automatically be pushed out to our subscribers, as well as being posted on popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter," said Kria Lemmons, PA Crime Stoppers coordinator. "This will expand the reach of the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers program tremendously, helping to yield better results."

A person may lack capacity due to a disability such as intellectual disability, dementia, brain injury or mental illness.
A person may lack capacity temporarily, for example during a coma following an accident.
A person may be able to make some decisions but not others.
Tom has an intellectual disability. When he develops a toothache he goes to the dentist who explains to Tom and his father that his tooth is decayed and needs to be removed. With the support of the dentist and his father, Tom is able to understand what the proposed treatment will mean for him and provide his own consent to the treatment. However when Tom's dentist recommends a general anaesthetic to remove a number of teeth, Tom is not able to understand the risks of the anaesthesia. Tom's dentist assesses that Tom is not able to give consent for the treatment and talks to Tom's person responsible instead.

This is a great, quick, healthy meal made from simple ingredients that you can whip up within 15mins and when paired with a big plate of greens it's highly nutritious too. It also makes a good meat free dinner/lunch option and is handy for when you haven't been shopping in a while as we all tend to have some oats and beans tucked away somewhere in the cupboard.
I love using beans in cooking, they are such a nutritious cheap ingredient and are so versatile. I love the combo of chilli and lemon as it's refreshing and full of flavour which is what you need to perk up plain beans.
To add more flavour I've created a creamy harrissa dressing, If you've never used harrissa before then you're really missing out, It's a spicy paste similar to chipotle which I've paired with creamy tahini/yogurt (choose your favourite) to create a lovely silky dressing for these nuggets which you definitely won't want to leave out as it gives much needed moisture to the dish.

Fuck Feminism: Embracing Gender and the Path to Equality
Ok Judy-B fans[1] calm your tits and hear me out: when I talk about embracing gender I don't mean barefoot, pregnant in the kitchen pink-loving weak-ass bitches vs. testosterone-radiating providers. However I do want to discuss how important it is for our social progression to embrace our genders, that is: to confront them, come to terms with them and empower ourselves through their characteristics rather than meeting them with resistance.
"But gurl, we know this, what about lipstick feminism etc? What about boss bitches like Chimamanda[2], who endorse embracing femininity?" You might say. Indeed lipstick feminism (an offshoot of feminism that seeks empowerment through femininity, particularly the sexual aspect) is on the right track but what I'm going to discuss runs much deeper than that.
Down with the Patriarchy
Across the globe, since the dawn of time, patriarchy has dominated in social, cultural and political belief systems. This fact has led us to believe that masculinity has always been in power. However this is not in fact the case. Neither men nor women have ever truly been empowered in their genders. Patriarchy arose and still thrives on the oppression of women more so than the self-empowerment of men. Men were only able to rise to power because they used certain advantages to strip feminine power, creating the illusion of their own power and setting forth to manipulate social, cultural, political, religious systems that begot innumerable generations of advantage by excluding half of the human race from society. However we must see how there is no power gained in the disempowerment of others and the dominance of the masculine in society is a superficial form of power rather than internal self-accepting empowerment.
If masculinity had ever been comfortable and truly empowered within itself then it would not feel the need to oppress and punish its counterpart. We've probably all had enough therapy to know that when people belittle others it comes from a place of their own insecurity, confusion, lack of self-awareness and self-acceptance. This is what has happened here on a much grander scale because humanity has never arrived at a place of understanding on gender. Society teaches us to deny our intrinsic selves and thus we have never understood gender outside of archaic socially-constructed ideas. Thus, the patriarchy is not only fucked up because of its sexist foundation but also the fact that this foundation doesn't actually reflect any conscious truth about masculinity because masculinity and what it means has never been explored beyond superficial means.
"Power" is such a dangerous and daunting word to use. Because society has evolved from modes of oppression we immediately associate the word power with oppression, resistance, something to which others compare less than, something that often needs to be fought against. However when I talk about being powerful in your gender and empowering yourself I mean thriving by means of your authenticity; to be able to direct the course of your own reality and to not feel threatened or inferior by being you; to be able to maximise your capabilities without threat or judgement. Because we live in a society that teaches us to deny our true selves and mould to certain labels and behaviours, we have to unlearn some of these everyday oppressions; we have to free ourselves and our thought processes of social oppression and through that, in realising our personal authenticity, self-awareness and self-acceptance, we are empowered. And it follows naturally that peace within begets peace without.
Let's unpack one of my recent interactions as an example of power dynamics. Consider the below excerpt from my life:
After being approached based on nothing but my looks and- to some surprise apparently- ending up in stimulating conversation…
Fucboi: you seem really smart
Kay [with exaggerated sarcasm] : wow, OH MY GOD, [dramatically holding onto table as if going to faint]WHAT A SURPRISE!
Fucboi: haha, wow, you're also a bitch, it's hot
Firstly, yes I was a dick there, I know. Secondly…"you're a bitch, it's hot" is a really interesting concept to me. My last partner also found "bitchiness" attractive, as do, I'm aware, many men. My thoughts on this are that the male ego is so damaged by patriarchy itself that it craves the treatment it subconsciously deems itself worthy of (maybe) but mostly there's a certain power dynamic coming into play. I believe that what is at the root of this attraction to "bitchiness" is the sense of power it stems from. When someone conveys "bitchiness" or "sass" or "spice," they are conveying a disagreement with you and a sense of agency in rejecting the ideas of another, which asserts the "power" of the bitch because of her self-assurance. I think it is this self-assurance that is the root of attraction and should be an indication of what we should be gravitating towards.
Don't get me wrong, I do not condone "bitchiness" in the sense of unnecessary passive aggression, thoughtless, narcissistically-driven callousness or purposeful malice; I purely mean self-assured spice. The fact that this notion of bitchiness is so complex just shows the social instinct to belittle and oppress self-assured women.
From small everyday interactions to global concepts it is obvious that power dynamics in the genders is an oscillation of fighting and disempowering one another, or forcing one another into the aspects of their own gender (such as women having to take on masculine qualities to thrive or "extra-sensitive" men who cry being deemed ideal "relationship material") rather than recognising, supporting and uplifting the differences in each other's gender. And sorry, J-Bizzle[3] but there are intrinsic differences is us!
So why fuck feminism?
Well because the more we fight the patriarchy, the more power we are in fact allocating it and the more we engage in gender war the further we are fleeing from our true individual selves and a positive understanding of gender dynamics.
Feminist movements have been absolutely imperative in bringing women to where we are today but there is still a long way to go and I believe the path to true equality surpasses old manners of resistance and lies in each gender uplifting one another and doing some serious soul-searching. We have been angry and we have fought and that has been necessary but now it's time to shift our focus within and discover, accept and embody our genders in a passive way.
The evolution of feminism has manifested a space where a feminists must either adopt masculine characteristics or reject her own feminine characteristics OR deny gender-related characteristics altogether in order to be respected, to thrive in society. And yes sex-positive derivatives of feminism reject that notion but we seem to have only come so far as to recognise and develop a very limited amount of feminine characteristics. There are so many aspects of the feminine which are underrated and largely unexplored on grander social scales, at least not enough to integrate them into society in a serious way. Aspects such as menstruation and motherhood are still marginalised in the greater social scheme of things; women are still forced into disconnection with these aspects of their womanhood to fit into society.
Let's look at a (very very very) brief history of feminism
Man oppresses woman for a false sense of empowerment and excludes woman from society; the feminine becomes the quintessential Other and feminine characteristics are normalised as shameful. Women are oppressed into passivity and socialised into domestic and sexual beings.
Bitches be like "oh HEYL no!" and start fighting back for equality- equality being what has now been ingrained as achieving the same power as men, thus women are now fighting to achieve masculinity in the social space[4] basically because it's the only example of freedom and power that has ever been
The movement evolves into rejecting feminine characteristics and adopting male characteristics to show that women can be like men, they can be equal. Remember masculinity itself was never truly defined, it was falsely empowered by Othering its counterpart so now both genders are striving to achieve something that built its foundation on nothing anyway
Lots of stuff happens, the movement achieves a lot but women are still the "second sex" and then we realise that adopting masculine qualities isn't the answer either so an aspect of the movement where feminine characteristics are embraced comes into play and sex-positive attitudes are adopted because the sensual power of women is recognised. HOWEVER even though society has started to accept that women can be badass in their lipstick and heels and the magical powers of the tits are finally recognised; this femininity is still having to be squeezed in to a patriarchal society. A woman can now be badass at work in a top level position in her heels yet she is having to be torn between her mothering and her career in the workplace that was established upon not having to worry about caring for children, about doing 9-5 and beyond while your children's mother was caring for them
And so the struggle continues and some theorists reject the notion of gender all together (an indication that we are so damaged by these dynamics that we need to be in denial of them)
Feminism is coming to a place of stagnancy. I think that we're now spending too much time playing the victim, shaming men and getting hung up on small technicalities which can be important but aren't really giving any momentum to the movement. Look I'm not criticising modes of empowerment and resistance feminists use or debunking their value, I'm just saying it's time to move on. I have always been the biggest ambassador of resistance and fighting against what's wrong and what you don't believe in. Since I was 13 my life motto has been "fuck the system". So trust me, I get it, the feminist in me is always screaming to shove zap signs down the throats of misogynists and ignorant conformers to patriarchal norms but now I'm tired, I'm done. I don't want this gender war to take any more of my god damn energy because the more we let it sap us and anger us the more we're actually just feeding it and draining ourselves.
Small acts of resistance such as spelling "womxn" are nice shades of empowerment but it's also becoming such a cop out. I know plenty, too many, men, women and establishments alike who throw in "womxn" at every opportunity on social media yet continue, without thought, to perpetuate sexist behaviour that is so ingrained it goes unquestioned. I personally don't spell womxn because my individual preference is reappropriation rather than overt resistance; I feel my most powerful when I show that I do not need to dedicate a drop of energy to fighting masculinity. Or maybe I'm just being an obnoxious cunt, I don't know anymore. Many people will strongly disagree with this but I hope we can respect one another's methods of progression.
And the same goes for playing the victim; victim mentality does not allow any momentum. It is OF COURSE extremely important to work through traumas to which you have been the victim of and for humanity to work together to avoid cases where women are victims of patriarchy, sexual harassment etc. but it's JUST as important to move on from the victim state. By keeping yourself in a state of victimisation you are disempowering yourself. "oh look how mean the boys are to us" is not going to get us anywhere, we need to come together and figure out what femininity is and what it means to us DEVOID of the masculine. Up until now we have only ever defined femininity in the context of masculinity. Also shaming men… we are seriously above that and surely smart enough to recognise that fighting oppression with oppression is futile. Saying #menaretrash is seriously not doing anything for either gender. Oh my god the way I hate that hashtag. And the same goes for women shaming one another. Upliftment guys, that's all it takes.
I really don't want it to come across that I'm endorsing this vibe of "ladies nights" and "pamper parties" and having to be all girly together and shit. Ew. No not at all. Yeah those things are great if it's your personality but what I mean is things like supporting women in art and business, support rather than jealousy, not slating other women AND not slating men; and paying men less god damn attention, and by overtly excluding them we are paying them attention.
Chimamanda said in response to Beyonce's song Flawless in which she is quoted,
"Still, her type of feminism is not mine, as it is the kind that, at the same time, gives quite a lot of space to the necessity of men. I think men are lovely, but I don't think that women should relate everything they do to men: did he hurt me, do I forgive him, did he put a ring on my finger? We women are so conditioned to relate everything to men. Put a group of women together and the conversation will eventually be about men. Put a group of men together and they will not talk about women at all, they will just talk about their own stuff. We women should spend about 20 per cent of our time on men, because it's fun, but otherwise we should also be talking about our own stuff."
And it does feel like 'feminism" still has too much to do with men. And yes, of course there is a lot of backing of badass bitches among one another but it's within this space of "please validate us! We're still so marginalised and hurt that there needs to be a special place for us." This just shows how marginalised we still are. We need to start defining femininity on its own terms, we need to acknowledge the oppression femininity has been cultivated in and take that as one aspect of what femininity means in the modern day rather than basing its sole definition around past oppression. There are so many aspects of being female that have not been allowed to develop in their natural form in the confines of society.
Patriarchy and the oppression of the masculine
Now let's talk dudes… who have either had to fit into bullshit ideas of masculinity or feel guilty for what masculinity has done to women and suppress their intrinsic masculinity and now we're living in this fuck show of confused and emasculated softbois and fucbois who are basically wandering through life crying inside trying to stick their dicks in stuff to see if that'll make them feel like men.
Ok that was hectic, that's not quite the case. However we know at this point that men have been just as oppressed by the patriarchy- sure, not in terms of hierarchical or economic advantage but very much so on an internal level. Men are born and they get told what is expected of them and they are then expected to live up to this certain role in society and that's that.
There's so much that's been written on this subject recently so all I'm going to say is that men have never been allowed to explore their gender outside of the social space just as much as women. Their identity is based on a false sense of power to start with, which is not going to lead to any kind of real fulfillment. Men are either suffering because they have to fit into certain norms that do not actually resonate with their personal identification or values, or they're feeling so guilty for just being men and what the patriarchy has done to women that they're suppressing their masculinity and allowing themselves to be undermined.
I think that it's ultimately this oppression of the masculine that has allowed rape culture to thrive. Rape culture is the most explicit indication of the battle between masculine and feminine: the masculine feels threatened by the feminine ESPECIALLY when it comes to sexuality and thus feels the need to control it with physical strength and violence, ultimately overcompensating for feelings of weakness and threat that are buried deep within. There is no power in that. Men have been oppressed in their gender by the patriarchy but have not been allowed the space to sort through these feelings- they exist on such a deep subconscious and repressed plane that they come out in unaware violent ways. Society has always assumed that men have all the advantages and therefore do not need to question their role in society or how socialised gender has affected their identity.
Yip, it's a fuck show.
Achieving Balance
Until very recently I thought that the next step in gender evolution was going to be men learning to embrace the feminine within; for a rise of femininity in every aspect of life. But I realise I'm mistaken. That's not the answer. What we really need to do is transform the polarity that exists in gender into a duality, achieved through simultaneous rising.
We can only move to a place of true equality in the genders once, firstly, we acknowledge the fact that there are differences in gender and each gender has different qualities and characteristics (as well as some of the same).And secondly, we sort through which parts of gender identity are bullshit social constructions created for certain advantages and power dynamics that aren't actually based on truth. We need to stop stripping one another's power and rise separately and together and achieve a yin-yang balance where each opposite has a little bit of the other within.
Fuck the kind of feminism that says we must deny our femininity
Fuck the kind of feminism that denies gender
Fuck the kind of feminism that says your sexuality is your femininity
Fuck the kind of feminism that is STILLLL talking about men
Fuck the so-called "feminists" who slate other women
Fuck the so-called "feminists" who slate men
Fuck the feminism that never goes beyond anything but ideology, and;
Fuck YES to respecting fellow humans and creating spaces that are conducive to human individuality
Fuck YES to trans-gendered people who've got it right, who are actually so in touch with their gender identity that they have the courage to be like "fuck this body, fuck what society says, I am a woman/man and I'm going to be a damn woman/man". The rest of us seriously need to learn to have the courage to express our inner truths in spite of social and biological confines.
Yoh, that was preachy AF. And long. And I used the word "power" way too much. Apologies. Just a thought.

Everyone is talking about critical illnesses in Singapore, be it early or late stage, and the insurance that comes along with it.
Today, we take a more objective look at it.
In this ultimate guide, you'll get EVERYTHING you need to know about critical illness insurance (it can be lengthly!), but this would be the only resource you'll ever need to read.
Finding the best and cheapest early CI insurance in 2019?
Compare early critical illness plans in Singapore now!
What is Critical Illness (CI) and Early CI?
Critical Illness Cover Calculator: "How Much Do I Need?"
They mean the same thing but let's stick with critical illness for now.
The Life Insurance Association Singapore has specific definitions of what they are.
In total, there are 37 CIs. And these definitions are standard across all insurance companies.
These definitions were revised in 2014 and the reason why these are standardised is because it provides greater transparency for customers to compare different plans available from the insurers.
It also provides additional reassurance that if you've made a claim from one company, a claim from another company shouldn't be rejected as the definitions are the same.
... however, do note that not all companies provide the full 37 CIs coverage - see the contract.
Although it may seem disadvantageous, it shouldn't be a big issue because of all CI claims, about 95% arise from just 5 CIs - more on that later.
Although there is a standardisation of the CI definitions, there is none with Early CI.
You must be wondering... typical scare tactic.
Well fine, let's look at this objectively and start off with the important facts and figures of critical illnesses in Singapore.
Here are 2 main studies done on the causes of death in Singapore.
The World Health Organization has done a study on Singapore, and the 2 main causes of death - cardiovascular diseases and cancer - contribute to about 61% of total deaths.
To give another perspective, I'm sure you've read about the many injuries that lead to death - horrific car accidents in the news and so on.
But these deaths only contribute to less than 5% of all deaths.
In another statistic produced by the Ministry of Health, the top cause for death is cancer at 29.6%. It is 50% more than the next cause of death which is Pneumonia at 19.3%.
That's the main reason why cancers are the most "hot" topic in recent years (and really, the many years before that). And one that you should really pay attention to.
The Singapore Cancer Society has publicised that 37 people are diagnosed with cancer everyday.
In such a small country, the numbers reflect an alarm sounding off, and it's getting louder day by day.
If you don't see this as a concern, I don't know what would.
It shows the significance of these 5 compared with the rest.
Detailed claim statistics will be discussed further down this guide (it'll be very interesting).
And if you really do want to improve your health and well-being, specifically cater your diet and exercise to the above to reduce a huge chunk of undesirables happening.
The Straits Times have reported that according to a recent study done over a period of 35 years, the number of men who survive a cancer diagnosis by at least five years has gone up from 13.2% in 1973-1977 to 48.5% in 2008-2012.
In that same period, women survivors doubled from 28% to 57.1%.
It's all good news. And one contributing factor would be medical advancement.
... but rate of cancer diagnosis has also increased.
Is it because in this modern age, more of us are eating unhealthier, more stress in our jobs and personal lives, and the lack of time (or the never-ending excuses) to exercise?
The report states that an unhealthy lifestyle like tobacco smoking and obesity not only increases the probability of cancer, but also results in a lower survival rate amongst those who are already diagnosed with cancer.
On a brighter note, survival rates also increased because of screening, early detection and treatments, leading to prolonged lives.
These early screenings can detect pre-cancerous cells, which if removed ASAP, may prevent it from becoming cancerous.
And if it's detected in the early stages, the quick treatment of it increases the chances of survival and recovery.
This gives more importance to the so-called early critical illness plans which provide a lump sum to cover the period away from work for rest and recovery (and still pay the bills), and the financial support to seek care that is outside the scope of hospitalisation insurance (like alternative treatments).
Get a comparison of the early CI plans in Singapore here.
With the limited data available, it's difficult to ascertain the average cost of all CIs.
And so I'd rather touch on just the one that has the highest impact so far - once again, drum rolls, cancer.
It's not uncommon to read stories of cancer patients on the news.
By far, they reflect the true costs and more importantly, the raw emotional and physical pains that come with it.
Seedly has done a research on the cost of healthcare treatments and cancer in Singapore, and they have estimated the cost of late stage cancer to range from $100,000 to $200,000 which translates to $8,400 to $16,700 monthly.
Given that the median gross monthly income from employment in Singapore is at $4,232 in 2017, how is one ever going to cover for that monthly cost?
Apart from the financial costs, there are emotional and physical costs that come with cancer.
Tam Chek Ming is a Singaporean single mother with a 5 year old son. She is battling with stage 4 cancer and has since sold off everything to fund for her treatments, and most sadly, for her impending funeral. She is appealing for donations.
It started with her undergoing a major surgery to remove a cyst. She then needed to go under chemotherapy which made her vomit in bed and unable to play with her son.
The cancer cell grew aggressively to stage 4.
She doesn't have any private health insurance, and is not even under the CPF Dependent Protection Scheme.
She's living in a small 45-sqm flat and skips meals so that her son would have food on the table.
The costs needed do not stop at the medical side, Tam says that money raised would also go to pay off household bills, basic necessities, bank debts, daily living expenses, upcoming funeral expenses, etc.
Her most pressing concern would be to provide care and support for her 5 year old son when she's not around anymore.
If you'd like to read more into her story, check out this link.
From the story above, you would know that it's not just the medical costs that can pose a concern. There are other financial costs to consider too.
Along with Death and Total & Permanent Disability, critical illness can take away the ability to work.
How would you find money to replace income that is lost during that period? (some may never recover from a critical illness).
You still have these other commitments and goals to cater for, and this could amount to an hefty amount.
A lot has been said about the prevalence and the implications of a CI happening.
What has the majority of Singaporeans done to address it?
There was a study done in 2017 by the Life Insurance Association Singapore (a lengthy 88 page report). It was also reported in Straits Times and Today.
I'm sure most of you are not going to read that report so I'm just going to pick out the important points and give a summary of it.
The average working adult in Singapore has about $60,000 of CI cover.
And how much does one need?
The association recommends a cover of $316,000.
This leaves a protection gap of $256,000 and their cover only represented 20% of their total needs.
So if most people are only covered with just 1 year of income, what happens to the other 4 years?
You're not receiving an income but expenses are continuing on or even at a higher amount.
Now, those figures are a general guideline and everyone is different.
So the next section would allow you to determine a rough cover for yourself.
So you've got your number.
Now, it's time to look at how you can mend this gap.
If you wish to beef up on your critical illness cover, what are the options?
By having these 3, you'll get a very comprehensive coverage for CIs.
The main objective of a hospitalization plan is to cover for hospital & surgery bills and some outpatient treatments.
If you're under just the MediShield Life and can afford to upgrade to an Integrated Shield Plan (with or without the cash rider), I highly encourage you to do so.
The plan would be one of the most foundational plans you can have.
You can choose to compare the shield plans out there.
But in my opinion, all the plans offer the core benefits and are thus quite similar. You wouldn't go wrong if you just approach any one company.
The hospital plan usually only covers things that happen in the hospital.
But when you're back at home and unable to work?
Those daily expenses unrelated to medical costs are not catered for by the policy.
A CI cover will provide a lump sum payout when one of the 37 CIs happen.
This payout can then be used as an income replacement to pay for your ongoing expenses during the period that you're unable to work.
Is critical illness insurance worth it or necessary?
You ask: "Why buy critical illness insurance?"
I believe if you've gone through this guide, you can already see the need for this particular type of insurance.
NTUC has provided valuable information on their claims statistics which are broken down monthly.
You can see the details of claims that were settled: the type, the cause of it, age of the insured and the claim amount.
There were 156 Death claims, 162 Critical illness claims, and 2 Total & Permanent Disability claims.
Although it may seem that CI claims are only slightly more than Death claims, if you take a closer look, a majority of the death claims stem from CI.
And 2 causes always appear - cancer and heart attack.
CI can lead to not only CI insurance claims but death claims eventually (when it's "time"). And thus, is the reason for a huge chunk of all life insurance claims.
Can I go crazy and get all the CI cover I want?
The premiums for CI insurance are usually higher when compared with death and TPD as the probability of occurrence is higher - one still has to watch their budget.
Having said that, there's a $3,000,000 industry cap on the amount of CI cover you can get.
You probably don't need that much and it can get really expensive.
So, how much critical illness coverage do you need?
How do I get covered for CI?
You can get this cover through a rider in a term plan (or compare term plans in Singapore) or as a standalone policy.
A typical early CI plan pays out a lump sum when an early, intermediate, or late stage illness occurs.
The main objective of such a plan is to allow yourself to have a full recovery.
The lump sum payout allows you to afford additional medical costs not covered in the hospital plan like alternative treatments.
And to deal with expenses when you need a break from work to recover (after no-pay leave is exhausted).
How do I get covered for early CI?
Like the CI cover, you can get coverage for early CI through a rider attached to a term plan or as a standalone plan.
If you have yet to cover for death or TPD (or you're lacking those coverage), you can consider getting a term policy. If you have those covered already, then a standalone policy might be more suitable.
There's also a cap to how much early critical illness coverage you can buy.
Although it varies, it's around $250,000 sum assured per company. And the $3,000,000 CI limit per life still applies (inclusive of CI and early CI).
Is early critical illness insurance necessary?
"Should I get early CI?"
That's the question most people are asking.
There are no right and wrong answers - it really boils down to your personal preference.
1) Are you already doing regular screening?
There's a growing popularity of regular screening in Singapore.
Regular screening leads to a higher chance of discovering early stage CI (duh!), and if you're able to claim for it, an early treatment can be administered which leads to better chances of recovery.
A survey done by AIA in 2016 indicated that nine out of ten Singaporeans find it difficult to get another critical illness plan after getting diagnosed with critical illness.
They allow multiple claims (subjected to terms and conditions) which can be very useful to a diagnosed patient because chances of another occurrence is much higher.
3) Are you already insured with the basic coverage?
Apart from medical insurance (which you should already have), do you already have the 3 main coverage - death, TPD, CI?
These 3 forms the basis of everything because they take away the ability to work.
It wouldn't make sense if you want to cover for early CI without having those 3 catered for first.
The premiums for early CI is one of the most expensive forms of life insurance (high chance of occurrence).
If you're young, the premiums for this would be cheaper.
If you're older, the premiums for an early CI may not be justifiable (do a comparison to know).
But... if you do have the budget to allocate, go ahead.
5) How's your family medical history looking?
Illnesses like heart diseases and cancer may be hereditary.
If you notice your family members or relatives having such illnesses, chances of you getting said illnesses may be higher.
It's like standing in the middle of the road and seeing a truck coming at you (although relatively far).
And because the illnesses may be hereditary, it automatically puts you on that road, rather than on the pavement.
So, be sure to have a contingency plan.
That's a really long read.
The implications of critical illness could cause your whole world to crumble down - financially, emotionally, and physically.
...not just on yourself, but the people around you (who matter the most).
While there may be no solutions for the emotional and physical pain that comes with it, the financial pains can be prevented.
Through critical illness and early critical illness insurance, you can have a greater peace of mind that if a dreaded illness were to occur, you can still be in safe hands.
If you go and eat at a "insurance" restaurant, you'd be served critical illness insurance as a main course, and the early stage plan as the dessert.
The main course is needed to satisfy your hunger (or cravings), but the dessert may be optional.
if you're one of the lucky few that have the budget, or perhaps satisfy some of key considerations in deciding whether early CI plans are for you (see above), then take the first step to compare the various early CI plans in Singapore.

the relevance of linguistics for historians
History of Historical Linguistics History of Historical Linguistics N . Still, scholars have often interpreted the past based on modern linguistic thought, distorting how matters were seen in … The modern field of linguistics dates from the beginning of the 19th century. Relevance of Linguistics to the Reconstruction of African Past Linguistics is fairly new in the realms of science so many hypotheses are left unanswered. The only real benefit I can see is that, since linguistic history parallels cultural history, understanding how languages have evolved can give you insight into the distinct cultures of a region. This means that, if you take up this type of learning, you could help unlock new discoveries about human brains. Historical Linguistics impacts society by assisting in the study of history, speech, language, culture migration patterns, and of historical events. the history of linguistics from intellectual history in general, and, as a consequence, work in the history of linguistics has contributed also to the general history of ideas. Both in antiquity and in the Middle Ages, and again in the late twentieth century, it is a subordinate pre occupation for linguists. by Frederick J. Newmeyer. With no doubt, it is very fascinating to try to reconstruct how there languages might have sounded like, how they would have been written and used. The particular importance of language to Aboriginal mythology, placenames and … The historic social integration of different cultures helps us to understand how and why we use certain words and phrase. E. CoUinge The purely historical study of language is rare. Linguists must tackle this by using creative strategies to problem solve in order to discover new results. Turning briefly to the history of the field: relevance theory is grounded in the philosopher Paul Grice's work on meaning and conversation, and the theoretical advances of the cognitive revolution in linguistics and psychology. He emphasized the importance of looking at language as living sensation; he was the founder of a "theoretic foundation to the newer trend in linguistics study. Indigenous language sources are bringing rich new insights to historical research. Historical Linguistics also allows one to explore languages which do not exist anymore, such as Gothic, Old English, Latin, Sanskrit and so on. Historical linguistics, also called Diachronic Linguistics, the branch of linguistics concerned with the study of phonological, grammatical, and semantic changes, the reconstruction of earlier stages of languages, and the discovery and application of the methods by which genetic relationships among languages can be demonstrated. While ancient India and Greece had a remarkable grammatical tradition, throughout most of history linguistics had been the province of philosophy, rhetoric, and literary analysis to try to figure out how human language works. historians and celebrates recent developments in Aboriginal history which bring linguistic data to history.

FLYJACK's fourth album "Soul Catcher" confirms the group's obsessio...n with 70's underground funk and soul, while making their most convincing statement to date that they aren't simply paying tribute. Featuring nine originals and two rare-groove covers, the album opens with title track "Soul Catcher" – a horn driven instrumental that culminates in a mind-bending percussion breakdown behind a scorching saxophone solo that sounds like Ornette Coleman blowing over hot lava. Second track "Phrygian Phunk" – with its Middle Eastern vibe and hypnotic rhythm – settles into an exotic, trance-like groove somewhere between the Budos Band and Miles Davis' "Sketches in Spain." The southern soul of "Eyes on You" channels Stax, with its unison horn lines and raspy vocals. Other standouts include an in-your-face, extended remake of 70's funk-rock masterpiece "Funky to the Bone" (originally released by Freddi Henchi & the Soul Setters), and the Maceo Parker/James Brown workout "Damn Right I Am Somebody." FLYJACK criss-crosses a dizzying array of styles and genres, but several threads run through it all – tight arrangements, a deep pocket, and room to groove. Read More

Greyhounds are the Austin trio of Anthony Farrell (vocals, keyboards), Andr...ew Trube (vocals and guitar) and Ed Miles (drums). Many music fans remember Farrell and Trube as key members of JJ Grey's band MOFRO for many years. After parting with Grey in 2016 to focus full-time on Greyhounds, the band has only left the road to record and release two full-length records.' In 2016, while recording at Sun Studios for the PBS series "Sun Studio Sessions", Greyhounds met Memphis native and acclaimed engineer, Matt Ross-Spang. Soon afterwards, Matt moved his operation to the newly refurbished Sam Phillips Recording studio. Greyhounds were familiar with the studio, and its deep history, and had always wanted to record there. It is the type of space that transports you to another era; the perfect place to make the type of record Greyhounds were interested in making: a less produced, and more spontaneous style of recording, all straight to tape like many of the classic music that was made there in its heyday. And Ross-Spang, is the perfect engineer, steeped as he is in the old school style of making records. Pulling from 17 years of songwriting, Trube and Farrell had plenty of material to cho Read More
