Fed portal lures IT execs
By Allan Holmes
A federal information technology company plans to launch a World Wide Web portal next month that will provide information to government employees. Plans for planetgov.com may also include ecommerce applications.

A federal information technology company plans to launch a World Wide Web
portal next month that will provide information to government employees.
Plans for planetgov.com may also include e-commerce applications.
Executives with Fairfax, Va.-based ITC (formerly IntelliSys Technology
Corp.) have begun to lure high-tech company officials and Washington, D.C.-area
IT journalists to work on planetgov.com. The site will provide news and
other content for local, state and federal workers. ITC officials declined
to comment.
Two top executives from Federal Sources Inc. (FSI), a federal market
consulting firm in McLean, Va., joined the portal this month. Thomas Sanders,
who was named president of FSI late last year, and Piper Gioia, director
of Internet-related sales at the firm, have left to join the portal.
A third FSI executive — Mary Ann Hirsch, director of consulting services — resigned from the company. Hirsch, who could not be reached for comment,
did not join planetgov.com.
Sanders declined to give specifics about his responsibilities at the
new company.
Executives with New York-based publishing giant Primedia Inc., which bought
FSI in 1998, have asked Thomas Hewitt, the former chief executive officer
and founder of FSI, to work in an advisory role until FSI can fill the positions.
"We are going to find a CEO," said David Ferm, CEO of Primedia Business
to Business. "It's going to be a matter of weeks, not months."
Planetgov.com also has hired Nancy Ferris, technology editor at Government
Executive magazine, according to sources. Ferris could not be reached for
Government portal Web sites that provide e-commerce solutions and news content
are a promising growth area in the government IT market, said Patty Pickett,
vice president of civil programs with Netigy Corp., a provider of electronic
business solutions for the commercial and government sectors.
Pickett envisions agencies taking the lead in creating and operating
simple yet industrial-strength sets of Web site services, which they would
then provide to lower-level bureaus and offices.

Darlene is in dire straits, and our medical personnel are overworked at the moment. Evans, assisted by Gabby, started work on Darlene as soon as we got in yesterday. Pretty much all of the regular folks at the clinic took part in helping out. Even Lieutenant Price helped, wheeling around the place gathering supplies and acting as a gopher.
She's stable, but needs to be watched pretty much around the clock. That wasn't really a problem last night, but this morning we have had two moderately sized zombie attacks. The first one caught us off guard, taking a group of people coming back from the farms by surprise. Half a dozen of them were injured, and two of those bitten.
From what we know about zombie bites, it's about even odds that those two will die. The bites are an inefficient way to transmit the vile colonies of bacteria in the mouths of the dead. We know that everybody is already infected by the zombie plague, and we know that the bites aren't always fatal...but even with meds, it doesn't look good. The other four were slashed with nails and bruised from getting pummeled by the zombies. Not too bad, but still requiring a lot of effort from people that have been working nonstop to keep one of our own alive since yesterday.
Jess is glad to see us, of course, and especially me. She is still pretty pissed that she can't go out of the compound or even work sentry duty, and she is angry at me for going. Such is pregnancy, though, and she's not getting a lot of pity from me for being kept safe.
She has used her free time lately very efficiently, though. She has been keeping tabs on how much food we are producing and using, and is trying to keep accurate track of how much of what types of food we need to eat to keep healthy. There is a lot of meat around, since the population of deer around here is so high ( I think I have mentioned that before) and of course there are tons of farms that have food just sitting around waiting to be harvested. Some we trade with Jack's people up north, some we eat, and a lot of it gets preserved for when we need it.
She has also headed the effort to plant large swaths of land for another harvest if we can manage it before first frost. Her passion for having hobbies also extends to horticulture and agriculture, so she is doing a pretty good job. She's busy right now trying to gather as many seed potatoes and other seed crops as she can. It's impressive to watch a pregnant woman scare a bunch of grown men into doing what she tells them.
She did spend some time with Darlene this morning, her and Lt. Price. He volunteered to stay with our injured lady when others had to be elsewhere. It's decent of him, but Evans decided that at least one other person should be there just in case. I don't think the guy would do anything to hurt Darlene for several reasons, but realistically, he could be the most trustworthy person alive and not be fully able to help her if she needed it because of his own injuries.
Jess likes to keep an eye on him. She gets a strange vibe from him, and I think it's sort of like a loose tooth that she can't stop messing with.
I have to cut this off here. Work to do, people to talk to about some projects we need to work on. And I have to catch up with my brother about all of it. He's been doing this job without me for a week, and I am woefully behind.

Hedgehogs have adapted to life in towns and cities better than we think, a new study, presented in Sussex, has found.
Numbers of the once common hedgehog have declined dramatically from an estimated 36.5 million in the 1950s to fewer than one million left in the UK today.
The ripping out of hedgerows, intensive agriculture and the use of pesticides and creeping urbanisation have been blamed for their disappearance from the countryside.
New research has shown urban hedgerows are clinging on in gardens and parks which they have now made their home - and they outnumber their rural cousins.
But to survive they have changed their habits sheltering in gardens and parks during the day and only venturing out at night when dogs and people turn in for bed.
Their range to find food and a mate is also smaller than in the country.
Despite an abundance of food from leftover takeaways, bird feed and pet food all year round they hibernate for the same length of time.
Postdoctoral fellow Dr Lisa Warnecke at the University of Hamburg fitted hedgehogs with temperature-sensitive transmitters to investigate what physiological factors allow them to thrive in urban areas.
The researcher who studies hibernation ecology and thermal energetics of the European hedgehog in urban environments used hedgehogs living near major, busy roads and small, quiet side streets.
Surprisingly she found similar hibernation patterns.
Dr Warnecke said: "We were surprised to find that city hedgehogs showed hibernation patterns very similar to rural or captive populations in terms of the depth of torpor, the frequency with which they rewarmed and the overall duration of their hibernation.
"Gardens and public parks are very important for city hedgehogs.
The findings were presented at the Society for Experimental Biology Annual Meeting 2016 in Brighton.

Then vs Now: Fruits Basket
3:00 PM August 18, 2019
Slice of Life Anime, Supernatural Anime, Romance Anime [Genres]
Fruits BasketFruits Basket [Anime Title]
Around the Hive, Honey's Anime Pickup,
Jenangelx3
One of the most anticipated anime of the season has to be the reboot for Fruits Basket, which is based off of the shoujo manga of the same name by Takaya Natsuki. For many, Fruits Basket's 2001 anime adaptation was the introduction to the shoujo genre while the manga itself introduced western fans to shoujo manga. That's why, it's hard not to get excited for the 2019 reboot of this great series. However, after all that we've seen, what exactly do we think of this 2019 reboot compared to its 2001 adaptation? Well, read on to find out just how much they differ!
One of the biggest differences between the 2001 adaptation and the 2019 adaptation is the storyline. Well, the plot is basically the same in both in which both anime revolves around Honda Tohru and her new life with the Sohma family, a family with members cursed by the spirit of the Chinese Zodiac. However, one glaring difference in the storyline is that the 2019 adaptation follows the manga to a T, with the exception of a few scenes. The 2019 adaptation feels a lot like reading the manga with the same dialogue, scenes, and the order of the storyline, unlike the 2001 anime that more or less picked and chose which scenes to include and cut out some of the other characters' storylines. Whether or not you started with the 2001 anime or the manga first, you will be sure to appreciate how faithful the 2019 adaptation is to the source material. This has the 2019 feeling a lot less like a reverse harem than its 2001 counterpart, but that makes it all the more genuine as many of us fans know how the story is supposed to go! We only wonder how many episodes will be devoted to this adaptation as there is a lot of material to cover if we do one episode per chapter!
The animation style for Fruits Basket's 2019 adaptation is vastly different from the 2001 version. The 2001 version is dated with faded looking colors and rather simplistic designs, while the 2019 version has a fresher look with great animation befitting a more modern shoujo anime. While we did enjoy the 2001 adaptation's animation style at the time, we think TMS Entertainment did a great job with the animation for the 2019 adaptation.
Lastly, we just cannot forget about the music involved in Fruits Basket. The 2001 adaptation had such peaceful songs like Chiisana Inori and Serenade, which had a sort of healing or soothing effect, much like what Tohru does for each of the Sohmas. The opening For Fruits Basket was also quite enjoyable, but we have to say, we really love the music for 2019's adaptation. While the music in the anime itself is nothing to note, you can tell a good amount of consideration was taken for Again and Lucky Ending, the songs that open and close the anime. They really suit Fruits Basket so well, and even this writer has to stop and listen to the music once in a while.
Fruits Basket was a wonderful anime that drew us into the world of shoujo anime back in 2001, and now, we have been blessed with a reboot this 2019. Whether or not you love one more than the other, we're sure you'll still enjoy both series. What are your thoughts on Fruits Basket so far this season? Do you like it more than the 2001 adaptation or do you love how great the 2019 adaptation is going? Share all of your thoughts down below!

Research Corner
Who Among You Is The G.O.A.T.?
May 20, 2020 | Running The Race Well
Editor's note: This post comes from Ben Dudley, Vice President of Field Operations for Positive Coaching Alliance. It was written with some assistance and collaboration from me.
Ben Dudley
If you are a sports fan, you probably find yourself in conversations about which athlete is the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) in a particular sport. Michael Jordan or Lebron James? Mia Hamm or Abby Wambach? Muhammad Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson? Steffi Graf or Serena Williams?
Part of the fun of these discussions comes from the impossibility of ever resolving the debate. There is no agreed-upon standard to determine who really is the greatest. Sports fans must gather evidence from a variety of sources to make their case. And there is always another angle to consider or another up-and-comer contending for the throne.
So let's try this out ourselves. Let's consider the GOAT candidacy of a particular soccer player. This individual has the accolades: FIFA World Player of the Year three times, recipient of the Golden Ball Award as the best player of the World Cup, and numerous other awards. He has the championships: titles in Serie A, La Liga, and UEFA Champions League, and also a World Cup title (not only that, but he scored twice in the final).
He has praise from the experts, too. "In terms of ball retention he was probably the greatest player of all time," sportswriter Rob Smyth wrote of this player in The Guardian. "Blessed with such grace and supernatural awareness that he could play a game of real-life Pac-Man and never be caught."
It is hard to argue that this person is not at least in the GOAT conversation. Perhaps names like Ronaldo, Messi, or Kaka are running through your head—all well-known figures in the soccer pantheon.
But what if we looked at greatness from another angle? What if we considered not just conspicuous brilliance, but conspicuous failure? What if I told you that during the 2006 World Cup final this player—in his final act on the world soccer stage—angrily head-butted an opposing player in the chest, earning himself a red card and arguably costing his team the World Cup?
If you follow soccer, you will immediately know who I am talking about: Zinedine Zidane. There is no doubt he was an amazing footballer. And yet he will always be remembered for what he did wrong. The final act of a legendary career was one of the most iconic lapses in judgment of all time.
How do we factor that into our assessments of Zidane's greatness?
Maybe we can start by reframing what we mean by "greatness." For those of us in the Christian tradition, this means we should look to the example of Christ. As Christ was preparing to lay down his life for all of humanity, he gathered his disciples for a final meal. Prior to this, he had shown the ultimate act of service and humility by washing his disciples' feet. Yet later in the evening his disciples couldn't help themselves. They started arguing over who among them was the greatest. Jesus had to remind them that the greatest is not the one who sits at the table, but instead the one who serves.
Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called 'benefactors.' But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves. (Luke 22:24-30)
If the disciples—who literally had their feet washed by Jesus earlier in the day—still fell victim to selfish talk, how much more help do we need to remain humble and focused on serving others!
Thankfully, God provides this help to us. It starts with his grace. Because of who he is and what he has done, we can rest assured in our identity as children of God. We do not have to prove that we are better than others to earn his approval.
Flowing out of God's grace, we also have opportunities to practice and develop the sort of greatness that Jesus commends, to become the type of person who instinctively serves others. One area in which we can do this is through sports. It does not happen automatically, of course. Sports can lead us astray just as easily as they can guide us along the right path. But sports at least have the potential to help us cultivate greatness as Christ defined it.
What might this look like? For starters, it would require us to take a step back and look at ourselves as whole persons. When we assess ourselves as athletes and coaches, we should focus not just on the accolades and championships, but also on how we have loved and served our fellow citizens.
One model for doing this comes from the Positive Coaching Alliance, a national non-profit dedicated to helping athletes have a positive, character-building youth sports experience. PCA's model is called the Triple-Impact Competitor Model. It is based on learning how to make oneself better, one's teammates better, and ultimately the game better.
To make oneself better, an athlete will have a growth mindset, a good attitude, and a focus on effort. To make one's teammates better, an athlete will focus on filling emotional tanks with positivity, serving and sacrificing for the greater good, and leading by example. And all of this only matters if the athlete has the big-picture view in mind: a respect for the game and a desire to make it better for everyone involved. A desire, in short, to protect and guard the integrity and character of the sport that one plays.
You can think of the PCA's model as a map for the journey towards true greatness. And the word "journey" is key. None of us have arrived. None of us are perfect. Not only are mistakes ok, they are the life blood of learning. It's not the mistake that defines you, it's how you learn and grow from it.
This is true even for Zinedine Zidane. His failure, as dramatic as it was, is part of his story. And we should consider it when we think about greatness in sports. But it need not be the final word—just as his championships and awards are not the final world. True greatness is not a destination we've arrived at or a title that we carry. It is instead a target towards which we are aiming, a journey that we are on.
So who is the G.O.A.T.? Maybe the better question to ask if we want to have the right destination in mind is this: Who is serving and sacrificing for others?

Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3 or LNB) and Lithium Tantalate (LiTaO3 or LTA) possess a combination of unique electro-optical, acoustic, piezoelectric, pyroelectric and non-linear optical properties making it a suitable material for applications in acoustic, electro-optical and non-linear optical devices, high-temperature acoustic transducers, receivers-transmitters of acoustic vibrations, air force acceleration meters, acoustic wave delay lines, deflectors, generators of non-linear distorted waves, acoustic filters, electro-optical Q-modulators (Q-switch), encoders-decoders, filters in television receivers, video-recorders and decoders, converters, frequency doublers and resonators in laser systems, non-linear elements in parametric light generators, etc. An indispensable condition of some of these applications is a high degree of optical uniformity of Lithium Niobate crystals used for fabrication of active elements.
Some other crystals of LiNbO3 series are available, including LiNbO3 doped with Fe, Zn, Gd, Cu , Y, B, Er etc.For some applications similar in properties to Lithium Tantalate (LiTaO3) crystal is more advantageous than LiNbO3 (E-O modulators, pyroelectric sensors etc.). Lithium Tantalate exhibits unique electro-optical, pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties combined with good mechanical and chemical stability and wide transparency range and high optical damage threshold. This makes LiTaO3 well-suited for numerous applications including electro-optical modulators, pyroelectric detectors, optical waveguide and SAW substrates, piezoelectric transducers etc. MolTech can offer parts cut from high quality boules grown along X axis, fully poled, with dia. and length of up to 60 mm.

"Young Users see Facebook Dead and Buried" and "Facebook's So Uncool" are just two recent headlines alleging that kids are leaving the social media site in droves.
Do we really believe teens are abandoning Facebook?
It is true that Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Whatsapp are popular with the kids today, but let's face it, none of them have the functionality of Facebook.
When you compare the other social media platforms, none of them offer the layers of information and capability to create event invitations, groups and lists, among other unique features. While some of the alternate platforms offer a few of these features, Facebook offers diversity and depth the others don't.


The Japanese artist does not distinguish between the rabbit and the hare, both animals being depicted and referred to under the name of Usagi. The hare or rabbit is commonly associated with the moon in art and legend, and as in Occidental countries we speak of the "man in the moon," so in Japan do people refer to the "hare in the moon." The origin of this association dates back to ancient mythology. In another story, as recorded in the Mahabharata, Buddha appeared on earth as a hare in one of his transmigrations. An old, ragged, hungry traveler asked for food from the hare, the ape and the fox. The hare instructed the hungry man to gather fuel and build a fire. When the fire was burning, the hare threw himself upon it and thus sacrificed himself to assuage the other's hunger. The beggar proved to be the god Indra in disguise. As a reward he recorded the image of the hare upon the moon as a shining example and a lasting memorial.
Talent, ambition and virtue are displayed by people born in the year of the hare. They have exceedingly fine taste, and are trusted by others. They are eloquent, financially lucky, conservative, clever, and honest.
Although the tiger is not native to Japan, it is one of the most popularly portrayed and highly symbolic animals in Japanese art, having been introduced into Japan by way of China through Buddhism. According to Chinese beliefs, the tiger sprang from one of the stars of the group known as the Great Bear. For this reason, it is explained, the tiger has the power to control the wind, and, because of the strength and power of its mighty roar, it is regarded by some as being an incarnation of thunder. The tiger is considered to be the king of all four-legged animals. Originally under Taoist teaching the tiger was a fearful, evil supernatural creature presiding over the west and autumn, both of which fall under the negative principle. However, under Buddhist influence the tiger assumed a positive force, its evil giving way to strength, nobility, and courage. In association with the dragon, however, it reverts back to its old Taoist negative principle.
The origins of the tiger in East Asian art are very ancient. A clay tablet from the Indus valley shows a tiger and other animals in attendance around a pre-Shivaite deity. Later, Shiva, as the Lord of Beasts, wears a tiger skin. This king of wild animals was adopted by Buddhism as a symbol of power. In Central Asian temples it is found in wall paintings illustrating a popular legend of Shakyamuni sacrificing himself as food for a starving tigress and her cubs.
In Chinese tradition, although its overwhelming strength is recognized, it is more a symbol of protection than an object of fear. It earliest appearance in China seems to have been as a decoration on archaic bronze vessels where it probably served as a talisman against poisoning and evil influences. Its image set against a door post protected a building from demons. Similarly, it was used in funerary art to protect the spirits of the dead. Han dynasty warriors would carry tiger amulets, usually of jade, or metal tallies with their image. Various deities are depicted riding on the backs of tigers and it was believed to be obedient to authority, retreating to the mountains when commanded to do so. The image of a boy riding a tiger refers to one of the paragons of filial piety who distracted the beast in order to protect his father.
The white tiger is the guardian of the Western Quadrant of the universe and represents the autumn. The tiger and the dragon together are the principal animals of Taoist Feng Shui. According to Taoist thinking the dragon has the nature of wood, which produces fire, while the tiger has the nature of gold, which comes from the water. Their combined names are given to the sacred Taoist mountain, Longhushan, where the founder of the faith practiced alchemy, creating an elixir which caused a dragon and a tiger to appear out of thin air. The "red tiger" was a feared demon and in Tantric images Buddhist deities sometimes wear a tiger's, skin in their warrior-like poses, the idea derived from Shivaism. Early Chinese paintings show tigers being quelled by Buddhist sages. In Zen Buddhism tigers and dragons symbolized nature and the human spirit which could be mastered by the powers of Buddhist insight. The Ashikaga Sha´guns, who were in power from 1338 to 1573, owned ink paintings of tigers by various southern Sung masters which drew much admiration. To the military classes the tiger was emblematic of strength and virility. The huge cultural influence which China had on Japan led to them adopting the joint images of tigers and dragons as symbols of power. The official Kano school of painting produced countless works of these subjects which were to adorn the homes of the military classes, carrying with them the message of authority and the stability of the social status quo. A very common symbolic combination in art is the tiger in a bamboo grove, often depicted in Kano school screens and paintings. There are many explanations of this combination. Some say the bamboo never resists the wind, and the wind is a constant companion of the tiger, and therefore this grass is a natural harbor for the tiger. Another explanation is that the wind tossed bamboo symbolically represents a wild and tangled tossing pit of sin and that in order to penetrate this sinful jungle one needs the strength of a tiger. To have "tiger courage" was the goal of all youths, particularly the Samurai. Many possessed tiger charms and amulets to give them strength, to ward off bad luck, and to discourage demons.
In general the tiger's symbolic meaning is "fluid rather than fixed." It is credited with supernatural powers and is reputed to live to the age of 1,000 years. After it reaches 500 years of age it is said to turn white. It becomes immortal at 1,000 years and can take any shape or form it desires. There is a folk tale which lauds the wisdom of the tiger. It tells of a mother tiger with three cubs who wishes to cross a river. However, one of her cubs is fierce and vicious, and she is fearful of leaving it alone with any of its brothers since it might do them harm. Coming to the edge of the river, she takes the troublesome cub in her mouth and swims to the other side, where she deposits him. She then returns for the second cub. Carrying him to the other side, she then picks up the fierce cub and goes back across the river carrying him with her. She places him on the beach and takes the third cub across to the other side and puts him with his gentle brother. Finally she returns for the troublesome cub and once again carries him across to where his two brothers wait. The tiger is often seen by the side of a waterfall, since the characteristics of both are their ceaseless strength and their forcefulness. The tiger is a symbol of strength, fearlessness, and the power of faith. Referring to a safe return from a perilous journey, a popular saying is "a tiger travels a thousand miles and returns home again".
Since ancient times the serpent has been an object of awe, inspiring worship in many religious sects and imbued with great supernatural powers. For example white snakes were said to be reincarnations of Shinto gods. In the Kojiki it is related that Susano-o, brother of the sun goddess, slew an eight-headed serpent from whose tail he withdrew the sword which came to be one of the Three Sacred Treasures composing the imperial regalia.
When Buddhism reached Japan from China in the sixth century, the Shinto religion already worshiped a snake deity called Orochi which became merged with the Buddhist guardian deity Ryo, a dragon-like serpent who controlled the clouds, rain and water. The images of the snake and the dragon are much intertwined. One story tells of the 17'th century poet Kyo´rai being begged to accompany a strange looking old man to a certain seashore. On their arrival, however, the traveler revealed himself as a giant white snake, over a thousand years old, who with the poet's help had managed to achieve the final stage of his ascetic tasks and was forthwith transformed into a dragon. In many of the world's cultures the snake inspires loathing and fear, probably due to its silent presence and ability to shed its skin. The shedding of skin must also have contributed to its reputation of being able to transform into human shape, such tales abounding in Japanese folklore. A person might also choose to come back into the world in the form of a serpent in order to exact revenge and impose justice, in which case his image is heroic rather than evil. The subject of a snake entwined around a skull appears quite frequently in art and may refer to this belief in souls reappearing as serpents. A snake in an old house should be left in peace as it is considered to be a guardian spirit. White snakes are considered auspicious as messengers of the gods. The truest form of the snake was the attendant and messenger of the goddess Benten. According to ancient legend, on the island of Enoshima there lived a serpent who was rapidly depopulating the countryside, until one day, following an earthquake, there arose an island in the middle of a lake. Upon this island was hidden the serpent's lair. The goddess Benten descended upon the island and married the serpent, thus causing it to cease its wanton activities. In art she is frequently portrayed accompanied by a snake. In general, the snake has become emblematic of deceit, cunning, and most particularly jealousy.
Superstitions hold that human saliva is poisonous to snakes, as described in the tale of "Tawara Toda," and also that iron offers particularly good protection against snake bite. There are still stores in China and even Japan today that sell snakes and snake extracts and medicines made from snakes, which are said to possess remarkable curative powers.
People born in the year of the snake are quiet, wise, and wealthy. Relying on their own judgement, they are determined and persist until their goals are attained. They are deep thinkers and financially lucky. Men born in the year of the snake are passionate and handsome, and women are beautiful.
The dragon is by far the most popular mythological creature represented in Japanese graphic and glyptic art. The reason is undoubtedly twofold: the first being its great mythological and symbolic significance and the second being its almost ideal artistic adaptability, both in expression and in form.
An early Chinese writer describes the creature's appearance thus: "Its head like a camel, its horns like a deer, its eyes like a hare, its ears like a bull, its neck like a snake, its belly like an iguanodon, its scales like a carp, its claws like an eagle and its paws like a tiger" – a mighty assemblage of creatures indeed. Thus its fierce face and undulating scaly body provided the Japanese artist an ideal subject in which to give full imaginative vent to power of expression and swirls of motion. Furthermore, in the graphic arts, such as painting and lacquer, dragons were often portrayed along with eddies of water and swirls of dense, ominous clouds – a perfect combination for decorative effects. Like so much mythological iconography, the dragon image reached Japan from China, which in turn had adopted it from Indian culture. Northern Indian Buddhism had adopted elements of Naga (snake) worship, which when it reached China was in turn assimilated into local beliefs regarding dragons. In China it embodies male power and fertility (yang). From the time of the Han dynasty (206 BC ~ 220 AD) it became the symbol of the emperor. The imperial dragon of China is identifiable by its five-clawed feet, while courtiers were permitted only to use the images of four and three-clawed dragons. It is the three-toed version which appears in Japanese art.
Pictorially the Japanese dragon resembles the Chinese dragon. From the description of the dragon it can be seen that its fierce face and scales and spines are also ideally suited for the powerful chisel strokes of the sculptural metal artist, and it was the favorite subject of the famous Goto school of sword furnishing artists. In general dragons are powerful, fierce, omnipotent, and representative of celestial power. While physically partially embodying the serpent, they basically differ from this creature, since the dragon in general is representative of benevolence and in art, although depicted as powerful and fierce, is not loathsome or repulsive. One of the Four Heavenly Creatures, the dragon is chief of all scaly animals and presides over authority. (The phoenix is chief of feathery animals and presides over virtue. The Kirin is chief of all hairy animals and presides over literature, while the tortoise is chief of all shelled creatures and presides over divination.) The dragon ascends into the heavens in the spring and descends into rivers in autumn, being known respectively in Japanese art as the ascending and the descending dragon.
In China, four types of dragon were believed to exist: the Heaven Dragon (tien-long) who guards the gods; the Spirit Dragon (shen-long) who produces wind and rain; the Earth Dragon (di-long) who marks the courses of streams and rivers; and the Treasure Dragon (fucan-long) who watches over the wealth hidden from mankind. Each was believed to reign over one of the four seas encompassing the earth. It was the Spirit dragon which caused rain and storms and which found its way to Japanese iconography. Powerful ink paintings depict them amidst swirling clouds. In Japanese art the dragon is traditionally never displayed in its entirety, for to see the entire dragon is to invite instant death, the punishment for looking upon too much divinity. Thus in art its undulating form is represented weaving in and out of clouds or water. The dragon is also commonly depicted in art, more commonly in metal art, entwined about a sword. This alludes to the story of the god Susano-o, who, after destroying the eight-headed serpent, found a beautiful sword within its tail.
Dragons are also identified by their colors, which range from red, violet, and blue to green, yellow, white, and black. The rain dragon is known as Amary, and is said to be black. Fukury, is the dragon of good luck and is represented climbing to the top of Mount Fuji – a symbol of success in life. The yellow dragon is identified with the imperial household. The white dragon's breath is believed to become gold. The saliva of the violet dragon turns to crystal balls. The dragon fears iron and is also capable of being slain, as noted in legendary tales. It is also a lustful creature, and the fabulous animal known as Kirin is said to be the offspring of the dragon and the cow. Dragons are associated mythologically with various gods and sages. A dragon emerges from the sea at the command of Kannon and is the steed of the goddess Benten. The dragon of Japanese mythology was adapted and modified from Chinese concepts which in turn reflected Indian and Taoist influences. It originally embodied the principles of the male and the female, the Yang and the Yin, and was associated with the powers of water, both of rain and of the sea, each of which was of equal importance respectively to the Japanese farmer and fisherman. With the advent of Taoism the dragon became endowed with magical powers, being able to transform itself into innumerable things. Under the influence of Buddhism it finally became endowed with spiritual and philosophical qualities and became the protector of divinities and a symbol of the transience of life and the perpetual state of change and evolution. Under the influence of Shintoism it related to the omnipotence of the imperial household. Specifically the dragon may assume any dimension. It can fill the universe with its body or become so small as to be invisible. Thus the dragon's many-sidedness embodies the idea of the male and the female principle and the utmost attainment of the embodiment of wisdom. The continuous changes and variations of life are symbolized by its unlimited powers of adaptation, accommodating itself to all surroundings and therefore having no end, like the everlasting cycles of life. The dragon's breath is changed into clouds from which rain pours down and lightning flashes forth. It is also believed to carry water from the earth to the skies, and therefore in periods of drought it is worshiped in various ways. There are numerous popular legends associated with the Dragon King (Ryu-jin), who is reputed to live in a palace at the bottom of the sea. His chief messenger is depicted as a white serpent carrying the sacred jewel (Tama), which controls the ebb and flow of the tides and represents omnipotence. This jewel, which was once stolen from the Dragon King, is often illustrated in Japanese art as having just been caught in the claws of a dragon. The Dragon King is represented as a bearded old man with a dragon on his back, the dragon's head forming his head covering. When aroused, the Dragon King is responsible for the storms of the sea. Finally the dragon is associated symbolically in art most frequently with the tiger and the phoenix. The tiger, while usually a yang force, in this association represents the material or yin forces and is bested by the dragon, which represents the spiritual or celestial or yang. The breath of the tiger creates the wind, and together with the clouds of the dragon, rain is created. The dragon-phoenix combination again represents the yin-yang principle, the dragon representing the positive yang and the phoenix the negative yin.
People born in the year of the dragon are healthy, honest, and brave. Dragon-year people are considered fortunate because their sign represents the heavens, or celestial powers. They are energetic and sensitive and inspire trust. Their word is good, their opinions sincere and just.

Two Liberal Columnists in Slugfest over Campus Rape!
Charlotte Hays
An interesting debate on campus rape is taking place between two liberal columnists.
Over at Slate, Emily Yoffe, who is better known as Dear Prudence, has made what would appear to most people as a common sense recommendation to help college women avoid unwanted sexual encounters: don't get drunk. Prudence writes:
Let's be totally clear: Perpetrators are the ones responsible for committing their crimes, and they should be brought to justice. But we are failing to let women know that when they render themselves defenseless, terrible things can be done to them. Young women are getting a distorted message that their right to match men drink for drink is a feminist issue. The real feminist message should be that when you lose the ability to be responsible for yourself, you drastically increase the chances that you will attract the kinds of people who, shall we say, don't have your best interest at heart. That's not blaming the victim; that's trying to prevent more victims.
That might sound infinitely sensible. But Katie McDonough, an editor at Salon, is outraged:
There is, of course, a lot to be said about Yoffe's "this is not rape apologia" rape apologia, but let's start with this: Our culture is not, and has never been, "reluctant" to tell women to stop doing things. In fact, people build entire careers around it.
And yet this false idea, that women's behavior is the real reason they are victimized — and that we live in a society that does a poor job of policing such behavior — is regularly used to blame sexual violence on the "problem" of young women today.
Richard Cohen and Concerned Women for America have both cited Miley Cyrus' recent embrace of tongue-wagging and half-shirts as a reason that teenage football players rape unconscious 16-year-olds. A judge in Montana declared a 14-year-old rape victim "older than her chronological age" and said she was "as much in control" of the crime committed against her as her 49-year-old rapist. A 14-year-old cheerleader in Missouri is allegedly raped and abandoned outside by her alleged rapist, wearing only a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt on a freezing morning, and Yoffe points to the girl's consumption of a "big glass of clear liquid" as the real problem in need of addressing.
This is the very definition of rape culture. And it is so completely tired….
Yoffe has plenty of good data to support her argument that binge drinking on college campuses isn't healthy. The over-consumption of alcohol can literally kill people. What it can't do, however, is make a woman responsible for a crime committed against her. …
Yoffe notes that, if she had a son, she would tell him not to binge drink so that he wouldn't "find himself accused of raping a drunken classmate" (a chilling framing, really, since it casts suspicion on the credibility of even a hypothetical rape victim's accusation); this is, perhaps, the piece she should have written.
Believe me, I want any man who rapes to be punished as severely as possible. Rape is a heinous crime. But Yoffe's framing isn't "chilling"at all—first, a mother is likely to know what kind of young man she has raised. Second, many young men on campus today who are accused of rape are not accorded due process under the law. There is a presumption of male guilt and the evidence is not collected and weighed as it should be when such a serious charge is lodged. The standard of proof for college men accused of rape is lower in part because of the Violence Against Women Act. Even liberal writer Wendy Kaminer has expressed concern over this.
The presumption of male guilt is embedded among feminists because they veiw women as victims--always. If a maverick such as Yoffe gives prudent advice to a young woman—don't get blotto—it is regarded as an apologia for rape! No, Miley Cyrus' antics are not an excuse to rape. But when simple, motherly advice about getting drunk is regarded as an affront, young women are going to know less about how to behave properly, be safe, and exercise...prudence.

Review: Creed Aventus For Men
June 02, 2021 REVIEWS MEN
Men are prone to look perfect on every occasion of their life as well as they are more reluctant towards their personality to look elegant and charming through each aspect. Most men tend to purchase an elegant and sophisticated row of attires for their happy occasions as well as to wear on a daily basis too. Along with this, a good range of shoe collections is also a must, but how can one forget about the exceptional punch of perfume.
One's personality is incomplete without using a tantalizing and sophisticated scent making the others seduce and attracting the people through the unique scent and fragrance. Creed Aventus for men is the best option from the house of creed to be considered as the best perfume for all occasions because of its uniqueness and demand.
History of Creed Aventus for men
Creed Aventus for men was launched by the house of creed in 2010 by the master perfumer naming Olivier creed, and it gains quick fame all around the world as the top seller perfume due to its fruity and rich scent, which can blend the individuals.
The name of this collection was given by keeping in mind the theatrical life of the great emperors like Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte, who has fought fearlessly during their reigns and whose victories and triumphs are still considered iconic today.
Distribution and Bottle collection
To make it the elegant and distinctive one among all the other collections of the Creed, Aventus is distributed in a very glamorous way making it the alluring and eccentric one according to its theme. Creed Aventus comes into a middle-sized glass bottle of black color with the name of the brand carved beautifully and in a modern sort of logo to maintain its title.
It is considered the number one luxury fragrance for men in the entire history of the United Kingdom and is highly purchased due to its quality and long-lasting property as it is perfect in its way, so its price is also quite high as compared to other perfumes starting from 350$ which is really a big figure for purchasing a perfume, but if one is getting a quality product, then no compromise can be made on price.
The bottle also has a black atomizer with its tip touching the base of the bottle so that all the sorts of scents used in the notes can come along within one punch.
This uniqueness and the style of the bottle make it difficult for the third-rated and fourth-rated copy makers and prevent people from purchasing the pirated product. It has been seen in the market that many low-budget marketers are producing copies of the branded perfumes and scents and make a handsome amount of money by cheating the intelligence of the purchasers.
People are prone to attract the product of the same name at a low price and consider it the original, but that is not true. Such people make perfumes with low levels and synthetic ingredients, which are very harmful to the health and skin too. It has been seen that the massive use of such low-graded products results in skin rashes and itching.
So, It is advisable that always have a look at the tag and packet of the perfume which you have purchased to avoid the consequences after purchasing and always compare the perfume with your original one if buying from a local market to avoid the purchase of the copied product.
Longevity property of Creed Aventus
Creed Aventus has been reviewed highly and gained excellent feedback regarding its longevity property, and it is said that it lasts more than six to eight hours and doesn't evaporate through the skin easily, and intermingles with the fabric of clothes allowing the body as well as the clothes to enjoy its alluring fragrant.
It can be applied on the side of the necks and side of ears as well as on the wrists and gives fine results of long-lasting fragrance in just three to four punches on these areas, and one is then ready for any occasion. It is a good option for summers too, as it lasts longer than usual and will prevent the bad odor from being felt easy.
Longevity can also be increased further by checking the concentration level of your perfume and applying it right after the shower. It is advisable not to rub the perfume after its applying and reapply the perfume when necessary and when you feel that you are sweating more as usual.
