The Research Process
Understanding Plagiarism
When you're looking at a website or other online source, it's important to remember that not all sources are equal in terms of quality or content. What could make a suitable source for one project, could be inappropriate for another. Always consult with your librarian or professor before using open online content.
The questions below are a critical lens for you to use when evaluating web sources for your academic work. You don't have to answer every question, but try to cover all of the broader, bolded questions.
Who wrote the source? Can you find an author or authors listed on the site?
What kind of background does the author have? Try Googling their name - what other kinds of things have they written?
Is there an institution, organization, or corporate entity that is behind the website? What interests might they have?
What is the source about?
How does the source's topic or content align with their mission and identity?
When was the source written?
Can you find a date anywhere on the website, or on the particular article or source you're looking at? Remember, an "updated" date at the bottom of a webpage does not necessarily mean that all content was updated as of that time.
What is the URL of the website you're on? Sometimes, you can tell more about a website based on the end of it's address (e.g. .edu, .com, .net, etc).
Think back to the author of the source, if you found one. What possible motivation could they have for writing the source?
Does the source have a clear message? Does that message align with the author/websites' intentions?
How did you find the source?
How is the source getting its message across?
Annotations vs. Abstracts
The purpose of the annotation, a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly articles or journal indexes.
For examples of scholarly annotations, please visit the Purdue OWL.

Attorneys Request to Delay Duncan Hunter Self-Surrender Date Until Early 2021
by Contributing Editor May 6, 2020 May 6, 2020
Attorneys representing former congressman Duncan Hunter have submitted a joint request with the U.S. Attorney's Office to delay his self-surrender date until as far off as early next year, when he would begin serving an 11-month prison sentence for misusing campaign funds.
The motion filed Tuesday states "this extension is appropriate due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the unknown impacts the disease will have in the coming months."
Hunter, who pleaded guilty last year to a federal conspiracy charge for misusing campaign funds, was sentenced in March to 11 months in federal prison, with his surrender date slated for May 29.
Should a judge grant the joint motion, Hunter's self-surrender date could be as late as Jan. 4.
The court filing states that in exchange for the government agreeing to the motion, Hunter will not seek any sentence modification or pre-surrender credit for home confinement prior to serving his prison term.
Hunter's wife, Margaret, pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge last summer. Her sentencing has been delayed numerous times, with recent continuances related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and is currently set for June 8.
The Hunters were charged in 2018 in a 60-count indictment, which alleged they used campaign credit cards to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on family vacations, restaurant and bar tabs, clothes and other frivolous expenses over the course of several years.
The prosecution's sentencing memorandum states the Hunters were "virtually penniless" and amid dire financial straits and resorted to using campaign credit cards to support "a profligate lifestyle leading to continual debt and an ever-increasing need to find cash to pay bills."
Despite the family bank account not carrying a positive balance throughout any single month between 2009 and 2017, prosecutors say the family lived extravagantly, racking up thousands of dollars on expensive family trips and scores of other improper personal purchases.
Prosecutors also say in court filings that Duncan Hunter gave his wife a campaign credit card despite her having no official role in his campaign, and later hired her as campaign manager amid protests from members of his staff.

Pseudoamycolata halophobica gen. nov., sp. nov.
A new genus and species, Pseudoamycolata halophobica, is proposed for two closely related strains formerly assigned to Amycolata (Nocardia) autotrophica. The following characteristics are important for defining the genus Pseudoamycolata: A type IV cell wall composition (presence of meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose, and galactose); lack of mycolates; phospholipid type PII (presence of phosphatidylethanolamine); menaquinone MK-8(H4) as the major menaquinone; iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids; and a guanine-plus-cytosine content of 72 mol%. P. halophobica is readily differentiated from morphologically similar members of the genera Amycolata and Amycolatopsis by phospholipid composition and menaquinone composition, respectively. In addition, it can be distinguished from Amycolata and Amycolatopsis species by low levels of deoxyribonucleic acid-deoxyribonucleic acid homology (12 to 15 and 7 to 10%, respectively) and a number of physiological characteristics. The type strain of P. halophobica is strain VKM Ac-1069 (= DSM 43089).
Agromyces albus sp. nov. is proposed for an aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive actinomycete that was isolated from the above-ground part of a plant (Androsace sp., in the family Primulaceae). The strain is characterized by white colonies, fragmenting hyphae that penetrate into agar media and chemotaxonomic properties that are typical of the genus Agromyces. Analysis of 16S rDNA sequences confirmed that the strain belongs to the genus Agromyces and revealed its close phylogenetic relationship with Agromyces ramosus. DNA–DNA pairing studies showed that the strain belongs to a separate genomic species; this is consistent with its distinction from other Agromyces species at the phenotypic level. The G+C content of the DNA was 69·0 mol%. The type strain is VKM Ac-1800T (=UCM Ac-623T).
A new species of the genus Amycolata, Amycolata alni, is proposed for strains which were mostly isolated from root nodules and rhizospheres of alder trees and were formerly assigned to the species Amycolata autotrophica. Strains of this new species could be differentiated from representatives of A. autotrophica by deoxyribonucleic acid homology data (17 to 29% relatedness), as well as by their ability to grow on salicin and D-gluconate, their failure to produce acid from cellobiose and meso-inositol, their resistance to penicillin and carbenicillin (10 g/ml), and other characteristics. Phenotypic features and low levels of deoxyribonucleic acid homology distinguish A. alni from two other species of the genus Amycolata, Amycolata saturnea and Amycolata hydrocarbonoxydans. The type strain of A. alni is strain 3LS (= VKM Ac-901).
Chemotaxonomic, genetic, and phenotypic characteristics of strain VKM Ac-1250T (T = type strain), which was isolated from an association with Streptomyces galilaeus INA 5888, revealed that this actinomycete is a new Glycomyces species, for which the name Glycomyces tenuis is proposed. This new species could be differentiated from Glycomyces harbinensis and Glycomyces rutgersensis by the following characteristics: Thin hyphae (diameter, 0.15 to 0.40 μm) on the substrate mycelium, absence of aerial hyphae, major menaquinone composition [MK-9(H6), MK-10(H6), and MK-11(H6)], certain physiological properties, and high levels of susceptibility to some antibiotics and growth inhibitors. The type strain of G. tenuis is strain VKM Ac-1250 (= INA n-5888).
Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus gen. nov., sp. nov., a deep-lineage haloalkaliphilic actinobacterium from soda lakes capable of growth on aliphatic nitriles, and proposal of Nitriliruptoraceae fam. nov. and Nitriliruptorales ord. nov.
A novel bacterial strain, designated ANL-iso2T, was obtained from an enrichment culture inoculated with a mixture of soda lake sediments by using isobutyronitrile (iBN) as the carbon, energy and nitrogen source at pH 10. The enrichment resulted in a stable binary culture containing iBN-degrading Gram-positive rods and a satellite Gram-negative gammaproteobacterium Marinospirillum sp. strain (ANL-isoa) scavenging the products of nitrile hydrolysis. Cells of the iBN-degrading strain, ANL-iso2T, were short, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods. Strain ANL-iso2T was capable of utilizing propionitrile (C3), butyronitrile (C4), isobutyronitrile (C4), valeronitrile (C5) and capronitrile (C6) as the only growth substrate. Growth on nitriles was biphasic with fast initial hydrolysis of nitriles to the corresponding amides, carboxylic acids and ammonia and slow further utilization of these products resulting in biomass growth. Cells of strain ANL-iso2T grown with iBN were capable of extremely active hydration of a wide range of nitriles into the corresponding amides and much slower hydrolysis of these amides to the corresponding carboxylic acids. This indicated the presence of the nitrile hydratase/amidase pathway of nitrile degradation in the novel bacterium. Strain ANL-iso2T showed obligately alkaliphilic growth on iBN within the pH range 8.4–10.6, with optimum growth at 9.0–9.5. It was moderately salt-tolerant, with a salt range for growth of 0.1–2.0 M Na+ and an optimum salt concentration for growth of 0.2–0.3 M. The dominant fatty acids in the polar lipids were C16 : 0, iso-C14, C14 : 0, iso-C16 and C16 : 1 ω7. The cell wall contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. Phylogenetic analysis placed strain ANL-iso2T within the class Actinobacteria as an independent lineage with only uncultured bacteria from soda lakes as its nearest relatives. On the basis of its unique phenotype and distinct phylogeny, strain ANL-iso2T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species, Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus, is ANL-iso2T (=DSM 45188T=NCCB 100119T=UNIQEM U239T). Phylogenetic data suggest that the novel bacterium forms the basis of a new family Nitriliruptoraceae fam. nov. and a novel order Nitriliruptorales ord. nov. within the class Actinobacteria.
A non-motile and non-endospore-forming rod, strain NBRC 16403T, was isolated from the phyllosphere of a sedge (Carex sp.). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain NBRC 16403T was closely related to Herbiconiux solani DSM 19813T (98.6 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), Herbiconiux ginsengi wged11T (97.8 %) and Herbiconiux moechotypicola RB-62T (97.8 %). The peptidoglycan (B2γ type) contained d- and l-2,4-diaminobutyric acids, d-alanine, glycine and threo-3-hydroxyglutamic acid, which replaced glutamic acid almost completely. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10 and MK-11. The polar lipid pattern comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, three glycolipids and minor amounts of other polar lipids. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0; no cyclohexyl-C17 : 0 was detected. The DNA G+C content was 71.0 mol%. The results of phylogenetic and DNA–DNA relatedness studies, along with phenotypic differences between strain NBRC 16403T and recognized members of the genus Herbiconiux, indicated that the isolate should be assigned to a novel species of the genus Herbiconiux, for which the name Herbiconiux flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NBRC 16403T ( = VKM Ac-2058T).
Rathayibacter caricis sp. nov. and Rathayibacter festucae sp. nov., isolated from the phyllosphere of Carex sp. and the leaf gall induced by the nematode Anguina graminis on Festuca rubra L., respectively.
Two novel species, Rathayibacter caricis sp. nov. (type strain VKM Ac-1799T = UCM Ac-618T) and Rathayibacter festucae sp. nov. (type strain VKM Ac-1390T UCM Ac-619T), are proposed for two coryneform actinomycetes found in the phyllosphere of Carex sp. and in the leaf gall induced by the plant-parasitic nematode Anguina graminis on Festuca rubra L., respectively. The strains of the novel species are typical of the genus Rathayibacter in their chemotaxonomic characteristics and fall into the Rathayibacter 16S rDNA phylogenetic cluster. They belong to two separate genomic species and differ markedly from current validly described species of Rathayibacter at the phenotypic level. The most striking feature differentiating Rathayibacter caricis sp. nov. from other species of the genus is the presence of fucose in its cell wall and Rathayibacter festucae sp. nov. can be easily recognized among other yellow-pigmented rathayibacters because of its rose-orange-coloured colonies.
Okibacterium fritillariae gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel genus of the family Microbacteriaceae.
Okibacterium fritillariae gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain VKM Ac-2059T = IFO 16404T) is proposed for aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, coryneform bacteria isolated from seeds of Fritillaria ruthenica Wikstr. and Clematis recta L. Strains of the new genus form a distinct branch within the phylogenetic cluster composed of members of the family Microbacteriaceae and are characterized by B-type peptidoglycan containing amino acids glycine, glutamate, homoserine, alanine and lysine, the glycolyl type of muramic acid, the major menaquinones MK-10 and MK-11, the principal phospholipids phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol, and a DNA G+C content of approximately 67 mol %.
A rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming and non-motile bacterium, strain DL-329T, was isolated from the above-ground part of a plant, Androsace koso-poljanskii Ovcz. (Primulaceae), at the the State Natural Reserve 'Belogorie', Russia. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the strain clustered with members of the genus Rathayibacter , showing the highest sequence similarity to Rathayibacter tritici (98.89 %), Rathayibacter rathayi (98.82 %) and Rathayibacter festucae (98.82 %). The DNA hybridization experiments demonstrated that strain DL-329T represents a separate genomic species. The results of comparative studies of physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics, including cell-wall sugar patterns, polar lipid profiles, and the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of bacterial cells, allowed clear differentiation of VKM Ac-2121T from the recognized Rathayibacter species at the phenotypic level. Based on the data obtained, a new species, Rathayibacter oskolensis sp. nov., is proposed, with DL-329T (=VKM Ac-2121T=LMG 22542T) as the type strain.
The Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of the Suborder Micrococcineae of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes has agreed on minimal standards for describing new genera and species of the suborder Micrococcineae. The minimal standards are intended to provide bacteriologists involved in the taxonomy of members of the suborder Micrococcineae with a set of essential requirements for the description of new taxa. In addition to sequence data comparisons of 16S rRNA genes or other appropriate conservative genes, phenotypic and genotypic criteria are compiled which are considered essential for the comprehensive characterization of new members of the suborder Micrococcineae. Additional features are recommended for the characterization and differentiation of genera and species with validly published names.
A facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, endospore-forming and non-motile bacterium was isolated from permafrost sediment cores in the Kolyma lowland, Siberia, Russia. The permafrost isolate clustered with members of the genus Cohnella on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and showed the highest sequence similarity to Cohnella saccharovorans CJ22T (96.3 %), followed by Cohnella cellulosilytica FCN3-3T (96.0 %) and Cohnella panacarvi KCTC 13060T (96.0 %). The chemotaxonomic characteristics (quinone system, cellular fatty acids and polar lipid profile) of strain 20.16T were consistent with members of the genus Cohnella . The peptidoglycan diaminoacids included meso-diaminopimelic acid and a small amount of ll-diaminopimelic acid. The molar ratio and composition of major amino acids (meso-diaminopimelic acid, alanine, and glutamic acid) correspond to the peptydoglycan type A1γ. The estimated genome size of strain 20.16T is 4.34 Mb (lower than those in other Cohnella species). The genome has a G+C content of 50.5 mol% and encodes 4843 predicted genes, of these 4740 are protein-coding ones. The results of chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical characterization allowed clear differentiation of strain 20.16T from the closest Cohnella species. Based on data provided, a new species Cohnella kolymensis sp. nov. is proposed, with 20.16T (=VKM B-2846T=DSM 104983T) as the type strain.

About 1 in 10 people in Australia suffer from asthma, and in 2014, asthma caused the deaths of 419 Australians. It's good news that asthma deaths have dropped significantly over the years, from a peak of 964 in 1989, but more than one person a day dying from asthma in this country is still too many.
Asthma deaths are largely preventable. While asthma can't be cured, its symptoms of wheeze, cough and breathlessness can be prevented. The drop in asthma deaths and in emergency hospital visits for asthma are due to the ongoing education of health care professionals, people with asthma and the general community on the latest evidence-based treatments for asthma management. We need your help to support our work and help people with asthma lead full active lives without asthma symptoms.
The National Asthma Council Australia was launched in 1990, in response to the high number of asthma-related deaths at that time. As the leading authority on asthma in Australia, our ongoing priorities are to:
Continue to update and make available tools such as the Australian Asthma Handbook, the national treatment guidelines for asthma.
Provide the latest information on asthma to health professionals to help improve their quality of care
Ensure that people with asthma have access to the latest and best information on asthma
Work with all members of the asthma community, including people with asthma and their carers, health professionals, patient support organizations, the health industry, and government agencies to improve all aspects of asthma care
Continue to set the standards for best-practice asthma management.

Lando Carlissian Pansexual
Forums • New • Sequel Trilogy
Posted: September 23rd 2018 11:40 am
Why pansexuality will be Insurmountable…
I'm starting this thread to address those Star Wars fans who don't have a proper understanding of why it is for many former-lifelong-Star Wars fans like myself, the revelation of Lando's pansexuality is so decrepit a character "development," that we're now forever done with supporting anything Star Wars related. There are many Star Wars forums out there where this latest deliberate mangling of the Star Wars franchise is summarily dismissed as being "no big deal."
Pansexuality, or omnisexuality, is the sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their sex or gender identity.
That text from Wikipedia is NOT the full meaning of "pansexuality."
This is a perfect example of what is found on other forums, where pansexuality is glossed over, summarized as though it is perfectly natural, and is thus condonable, when it ABSOLUTELY is not.
And if there is anything left in our crumbling society that can be deemed to be "Good" or "Evil" anymore, then there is NO debate on this.
Words have meaning.
And most words go back a VERY long time in history.
One needs to trace back the etymology, its history, to get at the FULL meaning.
Anyone who is serious about writing, and has studied it, is DEEPLY steeped in etymology due to how context rich it is in powerful psychological and cultural symbolism. Authors' entire careers rest on a very thorough knowledge of it. You can bet every penny you have that the Kasdans knew exactly what they meant when they oh so proudly blasted their trumpets nice and loud proclaiming Lando's pansexuality.
Before I go further on the meaning of pansexuality, let's look at the usage of a different word for a character who is, apparently, wholly innocent.
Do you think that George Lucas assigned Luke's name to him because it merely sounded good?
Let's do a little bit of research, and see what we can derive from it...
First, the name "Luke" is derived from LUCIFER. See here and here.
Now, before anyone goes all ballistic on me for equating Luke with Satan, one better heed the wise words of Yoda, slow down one's panicked thinking, take a deep breath, and then study a LOT of history, mythology, and culture.
Lucifer, the fallen angel, has a robust history.
There was a solid reason why he was outright worshiped by many world religions (today he is frequently worshiped in secrecy), and it's due to Lucifer's astrotheological function across the ancient world.
The planet Venus was also identified as Lucifer, and it was the rising of the planet BEFORE the sunrise that led to the meaning of Lucifer's name, "The Morning Star" and/or "light bearer." The ancients believed that Lucifer was MORE IMPORTANT than the sun, because he rose FIRST, as if he was pulling the sun behind him into the heavens.
Of course, thanks to scientific advancement, we know far better now, that the reality is that the sun is its own body, and that it clearly rules the solar system without any help needed from Lucifer/Venus, that said mistaken "star" merely reflects the light, and that the sun is the ultimate Life Giving source of it.
Knowing the above, it then becomes crystal clear that it is NO accident that George assigns the name of "Luke" to the main hero, the one who brandishes the magical GLOWING sword, and who's last name is "Skywalker."
So, let's see, GLOWING + SKY WALKING = LUCIFER.
There are so many examples of this in Star Wars it gets almost ridiculous in quantity.
So, in comes the Kasdan clan.
Tooting their shiny golden horns over and over and OVER again about our once-dear Lando as being a pansexual (the sentient/intelligent robot-sex-mate he owns is also a pansexual).
Let's now take "pansexual" to its roots...
Pan is the god of wanton drunkenness, getting high, doing every drug there is, eating all of the food that one can eat, to vomit it up and start allover again. Is this a good role model for anyone? This kind of behavior RUINS the individuals who engage in such abusive behaviors, and let's dearly hope that said individual does NOT have a family, as it is sure to ruin their lives as well with all of the trauma that the supremely selfish and narcissistic addict brings home with him (or her).
And as hard as it may be to imagine, Pan does even worse than what's listed above.
FAR worse.
Pan is also the god of "love" and "romance." So sweet, isn't it, that title, "God of Love... Romance." Let's take just TWO brain cells and think about that lofty title and compare it to what we know about him as an insatiable glutton and drug abuser willing to wreak anyone around him. Does that "lofty" title make sense?
The emphasis on "love" and "romance" is all wrong.
Distorted to its opposite extreme, its reality.
Pan is also the god of absolutely insatiable LUST.
The lust of EVERYTHING.
Not just the lust for wine, music, drugs, and food, but also sex, whether it was WANTED by the other partner or NOT. Pan is the god of RAPE of any gender or of any THING. And in the ancient world, rape was no big deal. So commonplace, that it was PRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS to their depressed patients to make them feel better.
Don't believe me?
Then look up the decades' worth of hard research of Lloyd DeMause, a leading academic on the field of Psychohistory. He is an expert on the historical evolution of families, the bedrock of EVERY culture on the planet. If you're brave enough to read this massively important work, have a puke bucket next to you when you do, because if you're even a mildly decent human being, you're going to feel physically nauseous upon reflecting on its copious contents of absolute depravity.
DeMause lists in great detail, quoting one ancient source after another, from around the globe, just how inhumane and brutal the ancient world was. There is no human culture that is free of these massively pervasive and tremendous crimes. For eons, women were considered to be absolute garbage and were frequently beaten, even while fully pregnant.
Far more cultures than Sparta's were widely homosexual in practice (and the Spartan society was a profoundly evil one, subjecting boys to torture every single day, raping them, abusing them, starving them, forcing them to fulfill their initiation into warrior-adulthood by murdering a completely innocent civilian, and much more), as every culture (NO exceptions!) disregarded and hated women so much, it was exceedingly rare for the husband to share a home with the family he created.
All around the world, men lived with OTHER MEN in lodges. Marriage was ESSENTIALLY for the acquirement and maintenance of property, power and wealth, and reproduction was merely the glue to seal the deal. Children of both sexes were routinely raped by EVERYONE. Women were routinely raped by EVERYONE. BABIES were routinely raped (physical proof abounds: no hymens found in corpses/mummies).
Unwanted children were routinely murdered, dropped into the outhouse, sacrificed to a deity (frequently buried under important structures such as walls), or simply tossed out into the trash. Open air markets routinely displayed for sale children who were deemed to be completely irrelevant, and were casually traded among rugs, pottery, fruits and breads.
Children and females were so worthless, that it was common to "gift" them for the night to pleasure visitors. Women were so reviled, that enormous disparities between the births of males and females are recorded, some as high as 400 males to just 1 female! Such disparities are not due to some magical disease outbreak that only targeted those with the XX chromosome pairing; they are only due to the FREQUENT MASS MURDERING of female babies.
This is not the behavior of a culture that values women!
The ancients wrote extensively about the abomination of falling in love and being romantic with a mere piece of trash woman. A typical chapter in DeMause's work has 300 annotations(!), and frequently magnitudes more. Doctoral dissertations need far fewer than that, but DeMause is absolutely desperate to get us to realize where we came from, and what we're truly capable of returning to. He wants us to be aware of the tortuously slow and VAST length of time it took for the best of humanity to cease these monstrous and abominable practices.
Tragically, there are still large populations of the planet that engage in these sick and twisted behaviors, so if one is naive enough to believe that "all cultures are equal" then I strongly advise such fools to take a flight to one of these countries and completely embed themselves into it so that they can experience firsthand the terrible evil that they CASUALLY unleash upon one another on an hourly basis.
So, Pan was a VERY POPULAR god. And his popularity only makes sense when we get the TRUE SCALE of just how insane and decrepit the ancient world was towards the treatment of others (a picture only made accurate due to the hard labor of Psychohistorians). Knowing Pan's FULL nature, there is a very good reason why he was the universal foundational model for Satan and demons.
Pan is the god of SEDUCTION, RAPE and GLUTTONY and every RUINOUS vice there is. He is the DESTROYER of families. He is the OPPOSITE of romantic love. He is humanity at its VERY WORST.
If you ever watch videos on sites like LiveLeak.com, and see posts where men are caught raping parked automobiles, THAT is a pansexual. If you see posts where women are raping trees, parking meters, and the like, THAT too is pansexuality. If you read of cases of men who rape children, and animals, and are so severely psychologically damaged to want to rape the elderly, to rape the dead (ala Jimmy Savile, a GOOD FRIEND to the royals and leading establishment elites!) and are just absolutely insatiable, THAT is pansexuality.
To pretend that it is merely another term for the technical and thus "innocent" nomenclature of "omnisexuality" is beyond naive. It is DELIBERATELY MISLEADING, and the scale of the damage that is done by pansexuals is ALWAYS CRIMINAL (even the jargon "pedophile" is grotesquely misleading, as it literally means "LOVE of children," when they are instead, being RAPED by DECEPTION).
Well, at least to a DECENT human being, pansexualality SHOULD be evil to the darkest degree.
Do millionaire professional scriptwriters such as the Kasdans KNOW what that term ACTUALLY means?
In my opinion, ANYONE who promotes such severely twisted, SOUL DESTROYING behavior is AS BAD, if NOT WORSE THAN those who actually carry out such monstrous behaviors.
It is as unforgivable as those PREDATORS who seek out children to confound and pervert their innocence: pederasts and child molesters.
With Disney's blessings, the Kasdans did this to what was once a FAMILY franchise.
What they are PROMOTING in a FAMILY FRANCHISE is unforgivable.
They went to ENORMOUS LENGTHS to pervert nearly the entire franchise with their demented filth:
Putting the mind of a droid (who sought out and had ACTUAL SEX with "her" owner) into the Millennial Falcon.
Every single scene from the original trilogy has our heroes literally sitting in the uterus of a demented pansexual robotic being.
That they chose to do it to Star Wars makes perfect sense.
It is, without doubt, The Widest Net Possible for indoctrinating and entrapping young minds to accept the blackest of evil behavior.
The Kasdans, no doubt, made Jimmy Savile gleefully happy.
A role model for Lando, I'm sure.
Time is short, so I'm supplying links to professional experts detailing the scale and depths of the enormous harm being championed by Disney.

Hollywood is RIFE with this kind of psychopathic exploitation and has a hard time of permanently firing these convicted sickos:

This interview with Stefan Molyneux of the scale and nature of the heinous perverts that bring in Hollywood's big dollars is a must watch,
as is the documentary that delves deeply into it:

The scale of all of this truly vile behavior goes all of the way to The Top in America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpQ5f5U4H3M
In light of all of the above, to be able to look at what Disney did through Lucasfilm via Kennedy/Abrams/Hidalgo/Johnson/the Kasdans/etc., and to pretend that it can be simply dismissed... It's not fathomable when one considers how completely hideous the actual agenda is.
Star Wars is DEAD.
May its corpse forever stay putrid, and may its rot spread to bring Disney down with the blight it carefully nurtured and engineered.
It is absolutely not worth saving anymore.
Pansexuality is an irredeemable trait of heinous mega-psychopaths, and as such, is completely unforgivable.
I'm so sorry George.
They took your precious baby, and deliberately stuffed it with malignant reprobation.
We now live in a world where the once heinous, the once monstrously unthinkable, is now openly defended, trumpeted and applauded by the truly Perverted Thought Police that's busily censoring/de-listing/digitally de-person-izing those it deems to be "fascist" and "deplorable" for opposing obviously criminal consciousness such as these.
This world's well on the way to The Abyss.

Well, the fact that this is not mentioned in the films and I didn't have any idea about his alleged "pansexuality" until I read it here, means that it doesn't mean jack shit to me. So why even bother thinking about it? It changes nothing in the way I see the character on film.

Lando's sexuality is fine.
For those of you who live (impossibly) under a rock, and seemingly,
somehow have "no clue" as to Disney's MASSIVE media blitz to promote pro-RAPE-everything psychopathic behaviors,
there's this for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=kasdan+pansexuality
This divide that Disney created is beyond repair. They've guaranteed, forever, the loss of easily billions of dollars in free profits.
Every day, the line keeps getting clearer and brighter between those of us who know that Lucas would NEVER have promoted pansexuality (the RAPING of anything and everything) in any of his films,
and those that embrace the deliberate evisceration of the franchise to promote causes such as...
...make all male characters super dumb...
...women are always better and more powerful, and WITHOUT any training whatsoever (Luke was NEVER needed)...
...take one of the most iconic spaceships ever, and make it a pansexual entity...
...and on and on...
That any of this has to be explained in detail - yeah, the damage is permanent.
It is outright disgusting that there are those who would actively defend an agenda as grotesque as the above.
Tragic.
Nah man! Disgusting and insulting to the fandom are posts like yours. I feel ashamed breaving the same forum air as you, honestly.
I cant even tell if you are serious try to troll us. But judged by the effort you put into your first post here Iam guessing you're serious about that. Scary...
But you know what is the cool thing: SW is dead for you so leave it behind. And please spare us your disgusting posts.

Just for the sake of clarity, the prefix 'pan' in pan-sexuality is Greek and means "all". Nothing more, nothing less.
Same as Pan America Airways, it means collectively all - as in 'all the Americas'.
And for the record, I am a psychologist and I am well aware of the potential psychological harm of word use, but it is posts like yours that cause more harm.

...the prefix 'pan' in pan-sexuality is Greek and means "all". Nothing more, nothing less.
Nice try. It totally misses the WHOLE POINT of what I wrote, which is the ORIGIN of words.
Let's try this on for size... What came first when it comes to the "el" prefix that we find in "elite," did the "el" prefix just generate out of a vacuum of complete and total nothingness, or did it come from the NAME of the super popular Canaanite GOD "El?"
Perhaps the usage of the prefix "el" in "elevator" predates the NAME of the super popular Canaanite GOD as well?
How about the "Hebraic" title for "god?" Elohim.
Surely the "El" prefix in "Elohim" is SIMPLY a PREFIX, and not the name of an ancient and influential Canaanite GOD?
Is it historically and scientifically accurate that mere prefixes become so popular that gods are named AFTER really cool prefixes?
Indeed, one can find that principle everywhere, right?
Or, is it SUPREMELY LIKELY that the popularity and influence of the GOD was so overwhelming, that it became a foundational term in a multitude of words that still permeates a multitude of languages?
What is FACTUALLY TRUE?
It is the popularity, prominence and importance of DEITIES that lead to their names making up portions of other words. QUOTE me an ACADEMIC SOURCE that states that gods were named after popular prefixes or even suffixes. Let me save you a TON of wasted time and effort: there is NO SUCH THING.
For but one example out of thousands... The "elite" were those who had power in the religion of El and his court, a.k.a. "Elohim" (that word represents a PLURAL body of members, and in this case, El's Canaanite COUNCIL of GODS).
If one was wise in the ways of El, one would be "elevated" in their understanding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_(deity)
Let's dip our toes further into names.
What came first and thus influenced other words? "Isaiah? Jeremiah? Hezekiah?" Did these "regular" names come FIRST, and their suffixes became so popular, that they were later used to create the name of the god "Yahweh?" Or maybe, just maybe, did "Yahweh" came FIRST, and because he was a POPULAR DEITY, the first portion of his name was eagerly adopted by his priesthood and followers?
So, let's get back to the "oh so innocent" prefix of "pan."
That little ol' prefix means "all."
WHY does it mean that?
Where, oh WHERE could that little ol' suffix have been created from?
WHAT (or rather WHO) INSPIRED it?
Because as is WELL ESTABLISHED in ancient myths, legends, and religions that lasted HUNDREDS OF YEARS (and much longer), Pan, the super popular GOD of DRUNKENNESS and DEBAUCHERY RAPED EVERYTHING. "Everything" as in "ALL."
Even the weak entry on Pan in Wikipedia has a photo of a statue of him RAPING a GOAT.
Maybe one thinks that a goat fits into the realm of "normal" sexuality, and that such severely abnormal behavior should be condoned, sanctioned, and defended?
And why not, as the great PROGRESSIVE scholar (he is a rabid progressive, and practically worships Obama) Lloyd DeMause copiously documents, our ancient ancestors RAPED EVERYTHING and routinely and casually murdered and enslaved children. And since that was The Norm, that makes all of that trauma, all of that murder "alright," right?
Hey now! Our ancient ancestors were just being "pan" in applying their behaviors.
PERFECTLY FINE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(god)
At least DeMause has enough INTELLECTUAL HONESTY to call out the highly credentialed Ivy Leagued anthropologists who DEFENDED this monstrous behavior and CONTINUE TO DO SO in their technobabble descriptions of current cultures that practice these criminal behaviors (he quotes them verbatim and at length in his works).
For but one example, these academics describe how contemporaneous tribes "show their love" for their boys by daily raping them so that they can have the sperm they need to become men themselves later in life.
Leave it to Ivy League professionals to describe THAT as an expression of "love!"
These aren't children being RAPED for sheer PLEASURE, but rather according to these scientific experts, a heartfelt expression of "child love" (a.k.a. "pedophilia," a "neutral" and "accurate" scientific term if there ever was one!).
When one gathers up all of these anthropologists' field research, and reads their very generous "scientific" descriptors of the institutionalized murdering and raping of children, one has to wonder, how many of them partook of the routine practice of the "gifting" of children to them by the cultures they were supposedly "neutrally observing"?
Imagine WITNESSING what they were "observing," and then describing these unimaginable traumas as being "acceptable" because the culture deemed them to be so? One would have to be a BELIEVER to utter such criminal whitewashings.
PLENTY of highly credentialed, highly regarded, well paid, and well published academics have supported some very inhumane, decrepit and monstrous behaviors (the massive over drugging and doping of the American population is but one example of their "well intentioned" expertise at work).
That we think that they don't continue to do so is absolute foolishness.
No joke, for decades, there has been a growing movement among psychologists and psychiatrists that is trying to "explain" and "temper" how society sees pedophiles and pederasts. That is akin to using scientific technical jargon to kindly explain the "less gentle" tendencies of a wolf in the midst of newborn lambs.
So, one can PRETEND that "pan" simply means "all," when the TWISTED ORIGIN of that word is VERY clear. The god Pan can only be understood fully when one considers the hideously inhumane practices of our ancestors. The application of his name to mean "all" only has its complete weight when framed in the proper context.
Am I still completely disgusted by the WILLFUL IGNORANCE of the fresher-faced Star Wars fan base, the ones that think that Lando having hardcore sex with a robot that's now the Millennial Falcon is perfectly fine for a former-family franchise? I'm as disgusted by them as DeMause is of the academics who defended/continue to defend the mass abuse of women and children as being an expression of "love" in cultures where "...behaviors are only aberrant if the culture considers them to be so..."
If you're part of the fresher-faced Star Wars fan base that considers the integration and acceptance of such severe pathology as being totally fine and worthy of innocent children to be exposed to, then please just stay holed up in your bedrooms and keep playing with those pansexual Star Wars toys.
Relax if you find yourself in that crowd, as no doubt, some highly credentialed academic would scientifically approve of your worldview. After all, they have a well established history of glossing over and participating in horrendous crimes in the past. You'll be in highly respectable company.
Not that it did any of their victims any good.

You know what? In linguistics this is called a Cognate. Cognates can evolve to similar, different or even opposite meanings to the etymological origin of the word.
In the world we live in today, the prefix 'pan' means all. Whatever the etymological origin of the word, the way we use it today 'means' all.
Cognates can evolve to similar, different or even opposite meanings to the etymological origin of the word.
Thank you, Nikto, for agreeing with me.
What you don't say is just as important as what you do say.
You do not deny the etymological origin of the "pan" prefix/cognate, and are sensible enough to know that popular prefixes never predate the names of important deities, but rather that popular deities influence the evolution of language.
What I find disappointing in your reply, is that you could've gone further to try and "disprove" the positions that I posted earlier, but you chose not to. I suspect that anyone would have a very hard time proving wrong the research sources that I linked to. For example, you ignore the growing movement among the "professional class" to be tolerant and sympathetic to pederasts and pedophiles. As completely disgusting as that is, the evidence is overwhelming that is what's going on.
In any case, your field of "scientific" experts could've picked ANY prefix/cognate to describe an insatiable and fevered sexual disorder where one is willing to have sex with anything, to the point of raping it against its will. For example, the prefix "omni" would've done the job perfectly well, if the only intended coverage of meaning that was needed, was strictly for the word "all."
But no, that's not what the psychological/psychiatric profession did, right? They specifically picked the cognate "pan," and I happen to agree with their decision completely, because logically, if one is trying to scientifically describe a sociopathic condition of having sex with anything, to the degree of raping it, then "pan" is easily a far superior choice over "omni," because as you already well know, the god Pan did have sex with anything, frequently leading to the raping of the victim.
But maybe "victim" is too strong a word when couched in the proper context of time, when people literally believed in a rapacious and prancing nature god called "Pan."
For the people back then, being raped was extremely commonplace (more common than being murdered by one's own parents). Rape was only deemed "illegal" and being "trial worthy" only if the victim was of royal/high ranking blood. But even then, people of equally level classes, such as elites raping other elites, was overwhelmingly tolerated. Most of those that were raped were not treated as victims as we conceptualize it today.
In the end, as we all can clearly see, Star Wars is now the perfect vehicle for enlightening children on the naturalness of pansexuality.
Now darlings, to be clear, the definition I posted was from the Oxford English Dictionary. There is no more authoritative source. You may use the word any way you wish, of course. But there is an actual definition upon which the rest of the world is in agreement.

Would not inter-species sexual relations be inside the pan-sexual defintion?
I would think if you down to get it on with a twilek then you are definitely not strictly heterosexual by human (Earth) standards.

It's not about skin color. It's about fleshy parts... Hmm. Depends on what one does with those lekku I'd imagine.

Is The Price Right on Your New Franchise?
How to determine whether a franchise is a good deal or overpriced.
There's an old saying that "beauty is inthe eye of the beholder." It has been my experience that "value" is likewisedefined by personal perception.
Value is often brought up by prospectivefranchisees, who commonly ask, "Is the price right?" or "Is the franchise tooexpensive?" or "How do I know what the true costs are in a franchise?" Thesequestions cut to the heart of one of the key factors in making a decision abouta franchise business: whether or not the fees and costs that must be paid to afranchise are fair, reasonable and appropriate.
Let's start with the last question first.You should have a big advantage with a franchise, because the norm is forfranchisors to disclose all fees and costs in their disclosure document, whichthey must demand prior to any purchase. This document breaks down theinformation you need. Because the franchising sector is not yet regulated by specificstate imposed legislation you will be best advised to follow up on the accuracyof details in the disclosure document by way of your own in-depthresearch.
Most franchise companies require a newfranchisee to pay a one time initial fee to become a franchisee. This fee canbe as low as R100 000 to R150 000 or as high as the sky – in some cases wellover R1 million. The average or typical initial franchise fee for a single unitis about R200 000 or R350 000.
Franchisees usually pay an ongoingfranchise fee or royalty. This fee is normally expressed as a percentage of thegross revenue of the franchised business but can also be a fixed periodicamount such as R5 000 per month, regardless of revenue. The average or typicalroyalty percentage in a franchise is 5% to 6% of volume, but these fees canrange from a small fraction of 1% to 50% or more of revenue, depending on thefranchise.
Franchises often require participation in acommon advertising or marketing fund. This fund is frequently a nationalprogram, but it can also have a regional or local market focus. As with royaltyfees, this can be a fixed contribution, but is more often a percentage ofrevenue in the 1% to 4% range.
Some franchisors also require that afranchisee purchase certain required products or services either from thefranchisor or from affiliated entities of the franchise company. The thing towatch for in this situation is whether the pricing is competitive or not.
There are no other typical or common feesor costs, so if you see anything else in a franchise disclosure, check it verycarefully to make sure it's appropriate.
The franchisors' disclosure document willlet you know what these costs and fees are. The other question about whetherthese costs are reasonable is more difficult to answer, because it involves aperception of value. The secret to answering this question is to focus on theglobal picture of the opportunity from your perspective rather than the detailsof any specific fee or cost.
As an example, let's suppose we're comparingtwo franchise opportunities, A and B. The total investment required for each isan identical R1,5 million, including initial franchise fee and all other costs.We determine from our investigation that the typical franchisee in A is makingan average profit, after all expenses, of R200 000 per year in their business,whereas the typical franchisee in B is making an average profit after allexpenses of R5 million per year.
In examining the disclosure documents forthe two opportunities, we further learn A has an initial franchise fee of R10000, a royalty fee of 1% and no other costs. Franchise B has an initialfranchise fee of R1 million, a royalty fee of 25%, a marketing fee of 10% andfurther requires the franchisee to purchase required supplies for theirbusiness at what we've determined is a 1 000% mark-up – well above competitiverates for comparable supplies.
Which is the better opportunity? Whichdelivers better value to the franchisee? Which is more fair and reasonable inrelation to the fees and costs that they charge? In this example, most peoplewould identify B as a far better opportunity, in spite of the fact that itsfees and costs are dramatically higher than A. This is because, from thefranchisee's perspective, it offers a much greater return.
The fees and costs that go to the franchisecompany are what they are. The true test of value is what goes to thefranchisee.
That said, there's one caveat that everyprospective franchisee must be aware of. Occasionally, franchises have averagereturns far outside the range that would be considered normal for a business toproduce. These situations are rare, and they typically don't last for long,because extraordinary returns tend to attract a huge number of competitors veryrapidly.
If you see an opportunity that looks like Bin the example above, you should be wary about how long these types of returnsmight last. If the business follows form, it will soon attract competitors andexperience pricing pressures that will bring the margins way down. B is notgoing to look very good, with these extraordinary costs and fees, if therevenue starts a rapid downturn. This very dynamic has happened in the past 25years of franchising in the USA in what were booming sectors such as videorental, diet and fitness centres and speciality foods to name a few.
A standard formula for calculating areasonable distribution of business proceeds is one-third of the averagepre-tax profit margin (before any franchisor fees or costs or any franchiseecompensation) goes to the company and two-thirds to the franchisee. If, forexample, the net margin is 21%, then the total of all royalty and other feesshould be no more than about 7%. This formula may or may not seem fair to you,but you will find that many of the most successful franchise opportunities seemto stay very close to this formula.

When we look at the pictures of the Golden Globes with stars like Taylor Swift and Zooey Deschanel we want their style. But we find ourselves being inspired but also wondering when we can have our own red carpet moment.
At Dream Girl we love working out how we can wear our hair extensions in new and different ways so that you're stylish and on trend. But we don't want to have to make a decision between glitzy hairstyles and everyday ones. No, we want to have a red carpet moment every day.
So, inspired by this week's Golden Globes here's how you can be a star, whether it's for school, college, or just a day at the office.
Combine just the right amount of retro glam and on-trend styling to get this look just right. The faux-bob is a great way to do something a little different with your long hair. The waves add texture. If you already have curly hair then this makes it easier. But you can still achieve it with straight hair. Instead of using heat divide hair into one inch sections, twist and pin. Use a little spray and hold them in place for at least half an hour for added definition. Once unfurled gather hair with your fingers into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. Twist as if you would to style a bun. Then tuck the ends under and pin in place.
Match with an eye flick eyeliner and red lips.
The Modern Family star's style here is fresh faced and just quirky enough so it's ideal for a day look, as well as an evening one. Your long hair extensions will come into their own here. Middle part the hair and plait into two pigtails. Then simply twist and fix the plaits to the head, like a hairband.
Keep makeup fresh faced and natural.
This is a look that's back on trend. On the catwalks it's more of a wet-look but Hayden here shows how to recreate the style without resorting to a slick style that can look a bit greasy. Once hair is dried simply use a little gel in a comb and slick the hair back away from the forehead. You'll need spray to ensure hair is smooth and stays in place.
For makeup you want to keep it as simple as possible. Kohled eyes just add enough of the wow factor to get you through the day.
This is such a girly and feminine style it's the perfect way to add a lift to your day – trust us, we've tried it. Style hair as normal. Comb a side parting – whichever side you like, and then gather hair over the opposite shoulder. Tie hair into a side ponytail covering the ear. Twist hair into a bun and then pin in place. Add a flower but if it's daytime you might want to go au naturel.
Simply finish with a bright lipstick and you're good to go.


You're more than likely to encounter legislation regarding Health And Safety Regulations in your time as a construction worker, whatever your role. The biggest problem being that while these documents have been created with your safety in mind, they're not easy to understand. We're not lawyers, after all.
The biggest single idea you can have with any legislation is to find out which sections apply directly to you. Areas of legislation which have been designed, for example, for on site chemical work, will probably not apply to you. Things like this don't make a difference to many sites, so can be quickly negated. The more widespread safety aspects are the things we all need to look for. Just remember that health and safety regulations are there for your safety. It's easy to be suspicious of the legitimacy of regulations, but try not to be.
The main document of your health and safety material should cover many things, but should start with a general overview of the paper. After an initial run down of the main generic points of the paper, a number of specific amendments are made. You should study these if you are involved in construction in any way that might be applicable. Listed here are aspects of construction that we're all probably used to, for example high rise working and chemical contaminants.
Health and Safety for your day-to-day site running is next. Everything from flooring types and access ways should be covered and things like the kind of ladder you use will be in there. Bear in mind that this document is from the minds of industry professionals. It is be utterly comprehensive, and isn't a great bedtime read.
You have to study fire routes and procedures, as well as emergency fire drills, regardless of whether you work in a food hall or high rise construction. It has a personal effect as well, namely that if you are lax in this respect, you will get fined.
One thing that is often overlooked is noise levels. You will be informed of your maximum decibel level, and failure to comply will result in fines at best. at very least this is easy to understand. Don't forget that it's not just about how much noise you make, but also when you make it.
There are way too many aspects to your health and safety regulations to really delve into here, but suffice it to say that it's amongst the most important part of your job. Obviously there are fines, and even imprisonment involved, but the real core of the issue is that you need to ensure the safety of those around you, as well as yourself. You should take time out to read and re-read the documentation and make sure you have a good handle on what is required.

Satellite Transportation from France to Cape Canaveral for SpaceX Launch
A large European Aerospace manufacturer recently entrusted Bolloré Logistics to handle the transport and logistics of its satellite for a SpaceX launch into outer space.
Close coordination between the Bolloré Logistics teams in Nice, Boston and Miami ensured that the complex mission of transporting the satellite along with Ground Service Equipment (GSE) from Nice, France to Cape Canaveral in Florida, US, was handled smoothly.
This high-risk operation included three crucial steps:
- The transport of the satellite and ground service equipment (GSE) by Antonov 124 from Nice to Cape Canaveral
with a brief stop in Boston for customs clearance where the Boston Import team worked closely with the Department of Homeland Security Port Supervisor to coordinate the customs entries. At the arrival of the AN-124 in Cape Canaveral, the Miami team provided local logistics support on-site at Kennedy Space Center for offloading operations.
- The transport of the propellants by sea freight from Bremerhaven, Germany to Port Everglades, USA
The propellants were incorporated into the satellite before space launch. The Miami team handled the arrival at Port Everglades and transfer to the Kennedy Space Center.
- The return of the material after the satellite launch
The scope of work included stuffing of the containers, special road convoy with escort from Kennedy Space Center to Port of Miami, sea transport to return 90% of the material (including empty space craft containers) and air transport for urgent material return.
Bolloré Logistics has demonstrated their know-how and expertise to support such high-risk operation for the space industry in a high security environment and SpaceX successfully launched the satellite from the launch complex at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.


I am constantly amazed by both the delicateness and resistance of plant life. For a lot of Antarctica's earth history, the continent was covered by a lush landscape – trees, marshes, ferns, flowers. There were even a few crocodiles. But even after Antarctica was almost entirely frozen over, plants kept returning time after time, popping up here and there in Antarctica's earth history and leaving behind incredibly enduring traces of themselves – pollen and spores. What amazes me most though is not that these plant bits still remain even after 15, 20, 60 million years (and more), but rather that these plants adapted to extremely cold and impossibly dry conditions, repopulating the continent over and over again, even after Antarctica was covered in ice. Smaller than half or even a quarter of a grain of sand, these grains (like the on above) are what I spend my time studying when I'm not chasing chickens around my yard. Oftentimes, they are the last remaining vestiges of an Earth we can only imagine.
So it should have come as no surprise to me today when I saw new shoots bursting forth from a plant I thought I had killed. A small crop of mint was left in the kitchen without water over the Easter weekend, and when I came home, it had all turned brown. Without real hope for it's rejuvenation, I carelessly watered it and left it in the sink for a few days. Yesterday, I finally got around to cutting away all the dead, dried bits (which was pretty much everything above the soil). But tonight when I got home, I found fresh shoots, leaves budding out, strong stems, vibrantly green and full of fresh life. And tomorrow, I'm sure I'll find more.

how to tell if contacts are inside out while wearing them?
I have two different prescriptions for contacts. One is a very thick contact and is easy to tell if it is inside out, the other one is very thin and flimsy and it is almost impossible to tell if it is inside out. I put it on the way i think it should go, and my vision is fine, but it irritates me some days and not others. Would I still be able to see correctly with it inside out?
You can see correctly when wearing contact lenses inside out. I know because I did it this morning! I have recently changed to a new type of lens, and the new ones are much more flimsy than my previous ones, and no matter how many times I turn it inside out and hold it up on my finger and look at the curve, I just can't tell if it's inside out or not!
The only way I can tell if it's inside out or not is after a couple of hours of wear - it feels a little uncomfortable and irritates my eye. I always carry a little bottle of solution around with me, so I just find a mirror, take out the lens, give it a bit of a clean and turn it around! And then it's always fine after that.
So basically, other than a little bit of irritation, my vision is not affected if the lens is inside out!
Try to remember that a lens is usually sitting inside-up in its unopened container, so if you make sure you take it out the right way then there should be no problems!
Sometimes I put them on and they feel like knives in my eyes so I flip 'em and the same thing happens. Then I flip 'em again and they're okay.
This is so true, but sometimes, it's nearly impossible to tell just by looking. But the sword-in-the-eyes feeling is a definite way to tell.
It can be challenging to tell if a soft contact lens is inside-out. For one thing, you need that contact lens to see in the first place, so being told to look closely at a small, clear, curved object to determine which way it's facing is a particularly cruel irony. We get it. We're sorry. We're here to help.
If you think your contact is in inside out, know that it won't do any damage to your eye. Whew. However, it won't fit as well on your eye's surface. It will likely feel like it moves around more, is uncomfortable, or like you have something stuck in your eye. Other times it's subtle and may only start to bother you after the lens has been in for a few hours. HEADS UP: an inside-out lens is also more likely to pop out of your eye.
Interestingly, in most cases an inside out lens will not make your vision significantly more blurry.
what happens if you wear your contacts inside out?

how can you tell if your contacts are in the wrong eye?

Department of Telecom
BSNL seeks to deploy Indian Avionics Network
The proposed network, however, would offer connectivity to Indian airspace through a combination of telecom infrastructure and satellite-driven bandwidth, provided by Inmarsat. Muntazir Abbas | ETTelecom | Updated: November 09, 2018, 14:14 IST
NEW DELHI: State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has sought government approval to set up the Indian Avionics Network (IAN) with as much as 500 base trans-receiver stations (BTS) much needed to offer in-flight connectivity (IFC) to air passengers.
"We have already written to the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to provide Indian Avionics Network for broadband connectivity in flights," BSNL chairman Anupam Shrivastava told ETTelecom, adding that the telco having partnered with Inmarsat is well-poised to offer IFC services.
In 2017, the UK-based satellite communications company Inmarsat had entered into an alliance with BSNL to open Indian GSPS (global satellite phone service) gateway for telephony services to public and private companies as well as individuals.
The Committee of Secretaries (CoS) has recently allowed the Indian-origin satellites and gateways to offer communication services to air travelers while the country's telecom regulator has recommended opening up of airspace to foreign satellites for providing onboard Internet services.
The state-driven telco, however, advocates a policy regime for a pan India avionics network much similar to the European Aviation Network— where the Deutsche Telekom and Inmarsat have recently deployed ground infrastructure for the hybrid satellite and telecom network with 300 LTE (Long-Term Evolution) towers.
"BSNL has already done a preliminary estimation and come to know that nearly 500 base stations will be required to cover major flight routes," Shrivastava said.
The proposed network, however, would offer connectivity to Indian airspace through a combination of telecom infrastructure and satellite-driven bandwidth, provided by Inmarsat.
There is a provision to cover flight paths through on-ground stations which according to the top executive, would radiate vertically upwards and supplemented by satellite so that air passengers could stay connected.
India's fourth-largest public sector telco with widest telecom network, however, sees IFC services as a mega business opportunity with a competitive edge over rivals— reeling under a debt of nearly Rs 7 lakh crore.
BSNL's satellite business is faring well, and according to him, it was one of the fastest growing verticals within the telecom company's enterprise segment with close to 1000% growth over the last year.
"We have touched a figure of 4,500 satellite phone customers," Shrivastava said, adding that hotel chains are showing a keen interest in buying satellite phones, as a part of their hospitality business while defense sector, police personnel, and disaster management agencies remain core service takers.
The telco, however, aims to sell as many as 10,000 satellite phones by March 31, 2019.

What's New In 2021? Jetpacks And Flying Motorcycles According to Investors…
Mario Herger December 31, 2020 December 31, 2020 Flying Car, Motorbike / Moped
While the general public still debates whether the market is ready for electric cars and thinks autonomous driving needs many more years before the technology is ready (those who follow this blog know it's not), these technologies are already old hat for Silicon Valley venture capitalists. The toughest issues have been solved, and the product is already on the market or about to be rolled out widely.
A venture capitalist (VC) is always looking for the latest trends, which are often still so invisible that there are hardly any signals. These trends don't even have a name at this early stage. But that's a VC's job, to look for the next opportunity to get into a technology early and earn several times the amount invested after a few years.
One of these VCs is Tim Draper from the San Francisco Bay Area – Silicon Valley – and he comes from a venture capital family. His father was already a VC and now so is his son. The family also runs Draper University in San Mateo, where startup founders undergo an intensive training program in a five-week crash course. A former hotel serves as both a place to study and a place to live. Then across the street is an accelerator called Hero City from Draper, where startups are then given offices once again and hopefully 'accelerate' their business in this ecosystem of mentors and investors.
Anyone who has ever visited Hero City will be familiar with the so-called 'Deskla', a cored Model S that serves as a reception table. Tim Draper was one of the first Tesla and SpaceX investors and had this Deskla made from scraps. Draper has certainly profited by millions from the investment.
'Deskla' at the Hero City in San Mateo
If you have such a good nose, it's easier to listen when he's asked what the next trends will be and where he's investing his money. And that's exactly what CNBC asked him and received an answer that may still seem totally crazy to many of us: Draper sees jetpacks and flying motorcycles as the next technology of the future. After VTOLs (flying cars, so to speak), he says, far too little attention has been paid to these two modes of transportation.
Two of the companies he has invested in are JetPack Aviation and Gravity Industries Ltd. Both make jetpacks, which miniaturized jet engines that can be strapped around your body and lift a person into the air and accelerate them to 400 km/h (250 mph). They are used for recreational purposes, but also for emergency services, military and access to rough terrain, as well as over open water. Applications are for recreational fun, but also for emergency services, military and access to rough terrain, as well as over open bodies of water.
Both companies have already raised several million in venture capital. The global market for VTOL autonomous vehicles has reached an estimated $4.4 billion this year and is expected to reach $15.6 billion by 2027, according to a study by Research and Markets. Draper immediately invested $650,000 in the company after a 2017 TED Talk by Gravity founder Richard Browning, and a presumably similar sum in Jetpack Aviatioon.
Jetpack Aviation itself is also still working on a flying motorcycle that resembles the gliders from the movie Star Wars. It is called 'SPEEDER'.
Crazy? That's exactly what the idea of building a mass-market electric car sounded like a decade ago.

The Dalmore Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky Selected By Daniel Boulud
This whisky is a unique collaboration between Dalmore Distillery Distillery and Daniel Boulud, a Michelin star chef.
About The Dalmore Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky Selected By Daniel Boulud
Dalmore Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from plump, golden barley sourced from the rich, coastal soils of the Black Isle. Once the barley has been harvested, it is milled and mashed before being fermented with water drawn from the Cromarty Firth. That water, prior to reaching the firth, travels from Loch Morie through a number of peat bogs and limestone quarries, contributing a slightly mineral and chewy mouthfeel to the whisky.
Dalmore Distillery Selected By Daniel Boulud is a collaboration between Dalmore Distillery Distillery and Daniel Boulud, a Michelin star chef. The whisky is a unique assemblage of single malt whiskys that were originally matured in American white oak casks, and were ultimately finished in casks that previously used to mature Muscatel, Madeira and Port wine. The whisky has an aroma of warm, enticing honey, spices, pears and apples that give way to notes of crushed almonds, citrus fruits and cherries on the palate. The finish is exotic and spicy, with a touch of cloves and ginger.
The whisky earned a score of 97 points from Wine Enthusiast, which rated it the top single malt Scotch whisky of 2013. "We're going to create many exciting moments with Dalmore Distillery Daniel Boulud," says the esteemed chef. Have an exciting moment and pick up a bottle today!
About The Dalmore
Situated along the banks of Cromarty Firth in the Highlands region of Scotland, Dalmore Distillery was founded in 1839 by Alexander Matheson, who had earned his fortune illegally importing opium from the Far East. In 1886, Matheson sold Dalmore Distillery to Clan MacKenzie, whose century-long stewardship and defining influence over the distillery is still evident today — the 12-point stag adorned on every bottle of Dalmore Distillery Whisky is derived from Clan MacKenzie's coat of arms.
Dalmore Distillery Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from plump, golden barley sourced from the rich, coastal soils of the Black Isle. Once the barley has been harvested, it is milled and mashed before being fermented with water drawn from the Cromarty Firth. Prior to reaching the firth, however, the water travels from Loch Morie through a number of peat bogs and limestone quarries, and thus, contributes a slightly mineral and chewy mouthfeel to the whisky.
Once the barley has been fermented, the wash is distilled twice, first through Dalmore Distillery's copper-pot wash stills and then again through its copper-pot spirit stills. The wash stills have an unusually flat top, while the spirit stills are equipped with cold water jackets. This unusual equipment — the water jackets rinse cold water near the top of the still — makes it difficult for the lighter elements of the whisky to pass through the still, and ultimately results in a more opulent and rich whisky.

Zena Harris, president of Green Spark Group and program manager for Reel Green caught up with Brent Hodge of Hodgee Films and director of Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary to talk sustainable production.
Bringing it back, y'all...Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary is premiering at Tribeca Film Festival this month. The film looks at the fan favorite from creator Paul Feig and executive producer Judd Apatow, and its dedicated cult following. It's a film by Hodgee Films, and AETV, completely powered by VOLTstackTM green power stations. This is the third time Hodgee Films has premiered a film at that festival and they are looking forward to going back!
What's your approach to sustainable production?
Why did you want Freaks and Geeks to incorporate sustainability?
Tell us about sustainable production on Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary.
What are your thoughts about sustainable production within the film industry as a whole?
"You know, folks don't tend to think about sustainable production, but as things are getting more compact and efficient you don't need to buy into the notion of sustainability, you just need to be a good person and sustainability comes with you.
Brent Hodge supports both the Reel Green initiative and sustainable productions through using clean energy VOLTstackTM power stations for his power needs. The mission of Reel Green is to enable the evolution and implementation of sustainable practices in the motion picture industry to contribute to the betterment of the world."It's important to support this effort." says Hodge.
Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary premieres at Tribeca Film Festival in NYC on April 21st, just ahead of Earth Day.


Wooooaaahhh boy......I haven't been on devart in a long, LONG time....but I'm very happy with how this turned out lol. I've still been drawing, I've just mostly been on my instagram (@notoriouslysketchy)! Into the spiderverse was an amazing film, and I got inspired by everyone's creativity and made a spidersona as well! She wears a cloak made of web that's like steel strong lol.
I will draw any character, OC, fan character, etc, as long as they look PG-13.
I will make a sketch first. If you like the sketch, then I humbly request payment before I finish it.
I will have a spot on my blog that will say if commissions are open or closed and changes periodically. I will be taking 3 commissions at a time.
Please contact me through email, melody.mendez.91@gmail.com for further details if you are interested!
