Filipino Men's Roles and Their Correlates Development of the Filipino Adherence to Masculinity Expectations Scale
By Rubio, Ritchie J.; Green, Robert-Jay
This investigation describes the construction and examination of psychometric properties of the Filipino Adherence to Masculinity Expectations (FAME) Scale using a sample of male university students (N = 834) in the Philippines. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) indicated support for seven dimensions: Assertiveness and Dominance; Family Orientedness; Sense of Community; Responsibility; Integrity; Intelligence and Academic Achievement; and Respectful Deference to Women and the Elderly. The FAME had excellent internal consistency reliability (Cronbach α = .95). It was apparent that the FAME deals with largely prosocial ideals of masculinity in the Philippines. In terms of convergent validity, the FAME had some similar but mostly distinct dimensions as compared to a measure developed for use with U.S. samples: Masculinity Attitudes, Stress, and Conformity Questionnaire (MASC; Nabavi & Green, 2003). The discussion explores future directions of research and potential uses of the FAME in clinical work with Filipino male clients.

The gender role identity paradigm, which dominated research on gender beginning in the early 1930s, viewed masculinity as based on inherent traits or genes. Fleck (1981) proposed that this model does not sufficiently account for the formation of masculine ideology. Instead, he postulated a Gender Role Strain paradigm wherein masculinity is regarded as a cultural construction. In this view, men's behavior is accounted for by the conceptions of masculinity that men internalize from their culture. Given this perspective, there is no single, invariant, and universal masculinity, but rather there are masculinities that vary by age, culture, race, ethnic group, social class, sexual orientation, life stage, marital status, and historical era Brod, 1987; Gilmore, 1990; Lazur & Majors, 1995; Levant et al., 1992; Levant & Majors, 1997; Levant, Wu & Fischer, 1996; Fleck, Sonenstein & Ku, 1993).
In the gender role strain paradigm, socialization practices may be inferred from gender ideologies. Thus, masculinity ideology is an essential construct in understanding the development and maintenance of the male gender role Lazur & Majors, 1995). Masculinity ideology is defined as "an individual's internalization of cultural belief systems and attitudes toward masculinity and men's roles" Fleck et al., 1993, p. 88). Given this definition, masculinity ideology varies as a function of differences in social, historical, political and cultural context. Despite the variety in masculinity ideologies, Fleck posited that "there is a particular constellation of standards and expectations that individually and jointly have various kinds of negative concomitants," which is referred to as traditional masculinity ideology 1995, p. 20).
The social construction of masculinity spurred a series of studies in an attempt to expand the scope of masculinity research into the international arena. These studies were in part a response to Connell's (1998) call for a more global perspective about men by expanding the scope of gender and masculinity research to include cross-cultural masculinity ideologies. However, Louie and Low (2003) noted that most of these investigations tend to be empirical and descriptive and are frequently developed from a Western perspective. Pertinent to Asian men, most of the studies were restricted to those living as minorities in the United States or Canada, resulting in a limited understanding of Asian masculinities.
The purpose of the current study was to develop a new instrument that takes into account indigenous and non-Western conceptions of masculinity in the Philippines. This study is part of similar efforts that have explored non-Western forms of masculine gender role norms among Asian- American men Chua & Fujino, 1999) and Mexican-American men Arciniega, Anderson, TovarBlank, & Tracey, 2008). …

How many airports are in Amsterdam?
Ravi Chauhan
August 9, 2022 2 Mins Read
Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, and The Hague is the country's capital and seat of government. The Netherlands as a whole is sometimes referred to as "Holland," despite the reality that North and South Holland are just two of the country's provinces. It's a densely populated country, with a little over 16 million people. It was formerly a major maritime force, but it has since faded into obscurity. Known for its paintings, clogs, windmills, and shockingly flat landscapes, this country prides itself on its cultural legacy.
As a present European country, it retains its cosmopolitan attitude and is regarded for its open-mindedness. Even though the Netherlands is a relatively tiny country, its warm attitude and numerous attractions make it an amazing and relatively trouble-free choice for a European vacation. The Netherlands has five airports.
In terms of size, importance, and traffic, Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam is the Netherlands' most important and busiest airport. It's the seventh busiest airport in Europe. A municipality that borders on Haarlem, Haarlemmermeer, is where it is located. The Dutch Railways (NS) service that connects Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam Central Station in 15 minutes is available to travelers that land at the airport. Schiphol is Amsterdam's primary civilian airport.
Many European low-cost and small airlines use Eindhoven Airport as a hub in the Netherlands. Because of its position in North Brabant, it is, at least by Dutch standards and ideals, a long way from Amsterdam. Hermes bus number 401 from Eindhoven Station may get you to the airport in about 30 minutes, while the NS train takes about 90 minutes. Eindhoven Airport will be used by numerous low-cost airlines, including Ryanair, Wizz Air, and Transavia.
Rotterdam's Schiphol Airport – After Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Eindhoven Airport, The Hague Airport is the third largest airport in the Netherlands. Rotterdam The Hague Airport can only handle one million visitors a year, mostly from the seven low-cost airlines that operate via the airport. Rotterdam is the only airport in the Randstad area next to Schiphol.
Located in Beek, the Netherlands, the little airport of Maastricht Aachen serves the city. It is the country's second-largest hub for international freight flights after Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
There is a Groningen Airport located in Eelde. Located in the northern Netherlands, Eelde is a civilian airport. Corendon, BMI, and Transavia are the only airlines permitted to land on the Eelde airport's two runways.
Is Amsterdam metro 24 hours?
Is there Uber in Amsterdam?

{Release Day Review & Excerpt} Vendetta Road (Torpedo Ink #3) by Christine Feehan (@AuthorCFeehan @BerkleyRomance)
#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan pushes the limits in her next novel in the Torpedo Ink series.
Isaak "Ice" Koval is on a club mission when he sees a woman who stops him dead in his tracks. Soleil is a sweet, sexy, girl-next-door type. She's an innocent who should be nowhere near the rough-and-ready world of the Torpedo Ink motorcycle club. But Ice knows Soleil belongs with him—and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her.
After a life of drifting from one thing to the next, Soleil Brodeur is determined to take control of her life. When her breakup with her manipulative fiancé turns ugly, Soleil searches out the stranger who offered her a lifeline and ends up in a Las Vegas biker bar where she meets a gorgeous, dangerous man straight out of her most secret fantasies.
High on adrenaline, she finds herself falling faster than she thought possible. But Soleil knows little about the territory she's stumbled into, and even less about what it really means to be Ice's woman.…
{Review} Gabriel's Promise (Gabriel's Inferno #4) by Sylvain Reynard (@BerkleyRomance)
Author Sylvain Reynard returns with the fourth installment of the bestselling Gabriel's Inferno series.
When Gabriel and Julia Emerson first lay eyes on their newborn daughter, Clare, they realize life as they know it will never be the same. Gabriel has vowed to be a good father when he suddenly receives an invitation to give a series of lectures in Edinburgh, Scotland--an opportunity of high prestige--but that would mean leaving his wife and newborn child in Boston. Hesitant to bring it up, he keeps the opportunity from Julia as long as he can, not knowing she has a secret of her own.
When a frightening situation arises that threatens to break their new family apart, both parents must make sacrifices. With the family in danger, the looming question remains: Will Gabriel pursue his lectureship in Edinburgh, leaving Julia and Clare unprotected in Boston, or will he abandon the chance of a lifetime in order to ensure his family's safety?

{Release Day Review & Giveaway} A Scarcity of Condors (Venery #3) by Suanne Laqueur
A Scarcity of Condors
Book #3 in the Venery series
Release Date: December 16th, 2019
A novel of parenthood, heritage and legacy, rooted in the 1973 coup in Chile.
Juleón "Jude" Tholet has survival in his DNA. His father, Cleón, lived through imprisonment and torture during Pinochet's military coup in Chile. His mother, Penny, risked everything to gain her husband's freedom and flee the country with their newborn son. But as a closeted gay teenager growing up in Vancouver, Jude is targeted by a neighborhood bully called El Cóndor, culminating in a vicious hate crime that forces the Tholets to flee their country again.
Jude cautiously rebuilds his life in Seattle, becoming an accomplished pianist, but his his wings have been clipped and he cannot seem to soar in his relationships. Only family remains a constant source of strength and joy, until a DNA test reveals something that shocks all the Tholets: Jude is not their child.
Stunned by the test results, the Tholets must dig into their painful past, re-examine their lives in 1973 Santiago and the events surrounding Jude's birth story. It's a tale rooted in South America's Operation Condor. It spreads through Pinochet's terrifying regime of detention camps, torture, disappeared civilians and stolen children. The journey forces Penny Tholet to confront the gaps in her memory while Cleón must re-live an ordeal he's long kept hidden away in a secret world. The tale ends with Jude digging through his genetic code in a quest to find his biological parents. Are they alive? Or are they among Los Desaparecidos—the Disappeared Ones?
Suanne Laqueur's third book in the Venery series explores the desperate acts of love made in times of war, and the many ways family can be defined.
{Release Day Review} Would Like to Meet by Rachel Winters (@Frostycheeks @PutnamBooks)
In this charming, feel-good debut novel, a cynical assistant at a screenwriting agency must reenact the meet-cute scenes from classic romantic comedy movies in order to help her #1 client get his scriptwriting mojo back--but can a real-life meet-cute be in store for someone who doesn't believe in happily ever after?
After seven years as an assistant, 29-year-old Evie Summers is ready to finally get the promotion she deserves. But now the TV and film agency she's been running behind the scenes is in trouble, and Evie will lose her job unless she can convince the agency's biggest and most arrogant client, Ezra Chester, to finish writing the script for a Hollywood romantic comedy.
The catch? Ezra is suffering from writer's block--and he'll only put pen to paper if singleton Evie can prove to him that you can fall in love like they do in the movies. With the future of the agency in jeopardy, Evie embarks on a mission to meet a man the way Sally met Harry or Hugh Grant met Julia Roberts.
But in the course of testing out the meet-cute scenes from classic romantic comedies IRL, not only will Evie encounter one humiliating situation after another, but she'll have to confront the romantic past that soured her on love. In a novel as hilarious as it is heartwarming, debut author Rachel Winters proves that sometimes real life is better than the movies--and that the best kind of meet-cutes happen when you least expect them.

{Blog Tour Review & Excerpt} Fast Lane by Kristen Ashley (@KristenAshley68)
"Once he met her, it was and always would be Lyla."
They were the gentlemen bad boys of rock. Forming in a garage in a small town in Indiana. Taking their licks on the road. Going balls to the wall until they made their big break.
And then Preacher McCade and the Roadmasters redefined rock and roll.
Guided by their tortured lead singer and songwriter, the Roadmasters changed the face of music in the 80s and 90s. And on their journey to becoming one of the most enduring bands in history—dogged by rumors and myth and fueled by drugs and booze—the Roadmasters had one touchstone.
Lyla.
Preacher's muse, the love of his life, and the band's moral compass, from the beginning, Lyla is along for the ride.
But with fame and acclaim in their grasp, they've entered the fast lane.
And they didn't know it, but they were headed for a crash.
{Review and Q & A} The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes (@JojoMoyes @VikingBooks)
Set in Depression-era America, a breathtaking story of five extraordinary women and their remarkable journey through the mountains of Kentucky and beyond, from the author of Me Before You and The Peacock Emporium.
Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt's new traveling library, Alice signs on enthusiastically.
The leader, and soon Alice's greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient woman who's never asked a man's permission for anything. They will be joined by three other singular women who become known as the Horseback Librarians of Kentucky.
What happens to them—and to the men they love—becomes a classic drama of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. Though they face all kinds of dangers, they're committed to their job—bringing books to people who have never had any, sharing the gift of learning that will change their lives.
Based on a true story rooted in America's past, The Giver of Stars is unparalleled in its scope. At times funny, at others heartbreaking, this is a richly rewarding novel of women's friendship, of true love, and of what happens when we reach beyond our grasp for the great beyond.

Disneyland – The Happiest Place on Earth!
I was recently asked —- "If I can only take 1 trip in the next 12 months, what do you recommend?" I am not normally asked this question, so I took about 30 seconds, then firmly decided… Disneyland.
Disneyland (in California) is in process of celebrating the 60th Diamond Anniversary, which began May 22, 2015, and runs until September 5, 2016. ((And the actual Anniversary date was July 17th.)) This year Disney is pulling out all the stops, as they have created a brand new parade Paint the Night, new night-time spectacular, Disneyland Forever and a new World of Color, honoring both Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. All the history is found in Disneyland, CA. The famous park bench that Walt sat on, while he was envisioning what would become Disneyland. The original It's a Small World, from the 1964 World's Fair. 'Jingles', Lillian Disney's horse, on King Arthur's Carrousel and countless pictures of Walt.
Our family took its first trip to Disneyland this past August, for just this reason, to experience the 60th Diamond Celebration.
Flying or driving?? Either way, make sure you bring items to occupy the time. Hand held games are great, especially in confined places, but consider picking up an external battery for your devices. Also, make sure you have enough snacks.
Finally, make sure they are well rested and have eaten before departing on a long journey. Remember, hungry children are crabby children.
The big day has arrived, you are ready to go to Disneyland. If you are going to fly, consider flying into (SNA) Santa Ana / Orange County Airport, instead of (LAX) Los Angeles. Check airlines for both destinations, and do what makes the most sense for your family. Orange County (SNA) is easier to maneuver through and more reasonably priced for transportation to and from Disneyland.

And, if you get there for the 60th, you will have a chance to see Mickey's Toontown, before it is refurbished, to make room for Star Wars Land.

My girl found a flower for me… but thought it looked better on her. We are chillin' with an ice cream in Toontown.

In Disneyland, the children are picked out of the crowd to become a Padawan.
Tricia Tip – The Special Needs system of Disneyland is different from Disney World. Make sure to have the member that requires the special services with you, when you go to apply for the DAS Pass.
Equally wonderful is California Adventure. Here you will find the things you love about Hollywood Studios and Epcot, in Disney World. Soarin'; Toy Story Mania; Disney Jr. Live on Stage; Frozen Sing-along; Turtle Talk with Crush; Tower of Terror; Learn to Draw with an Animator and More… Plus: Cars Land, a completely immersive experience; a Bug's Land; Monsters Inc. Rescue; All of Paradise Pier, with the high speed coaster California Screamin'. And, don't forget the nighttime spectacular, World of Color.
Paradise Pier in California Adventure, just before World of Color.
Many NEO locals will remember this ride from Euclid Beach.
Of course you will not find the animals of Animal Kingdom nor any of World Showcase, but I submit, you will never miss them.
My husband said, after we finished our trip… "Disneyland has more 'Magic' per square foot." I think that pretty much says it all!
Finally, being a travel professional, I highly recommend you use a Travel Agent familiar with Disneyland, to ensure the best experience for you, and your family. Why?? Because dining is done at 60 days, Fast Passes are still on paper, and Magic Bands will get you nowhere in California. So, even though World and Land are very similar, there are still essential differences.


Doxpop - Tools for Attorneys and Public Information Researchers: New "stealth" feature released, and more on the way!
New "stealth" feature released, and more on the way!
The results on a Court Case Search can now be sorted by clicking on the column headings. When you click on the heading, the results will be re-displayed with a small arrow indicating whether the sort is in ascending or descending order.
The only limitation on the sorting feature is that you can't use it if a search returns more than 1000 results. In that situation, narrow your results down first by using the "refine search" link.
Sorting also works in your "My saved cases" list.
To get to the bottom or top of the list quickly, use the [End] and [Home] keys next to your keypad.
To scroll through the results one page at a time, use the [Page Up] and [Page Down] keys.
To find all occurrences of a particular word or name in a large list, use [Ctrl]-[F] (just like the "find" shortcut in most word processors) and enter the word or name you are searching for.
We are testing the sorting feature in preparation for rolling out a similar feature for the recorded document results, watch this blog for the announcement of that change!

Radon (Rn) contents in expired air after bathing, exposure in hot-air room and drinking of Misasa radioactive hot spring water were determined using an ionization chamber equiped with vibrating reed electrometer. The results were as follows; 1. Rn Contents in the indoor and outdoor air of Misasa spa were in the range of 0.5-1.0 pCi/ℓ and 0.4-0.7 pCi/ℓ. 2. Rn contents in the expired air of persons living at Misasa spa area and none spa area were 0.4-0.9 pCi/ℓ, 0.6±0.2 (S.D.) pCi/ℓ and 0.1-0.9 pCi/ℓ, 0.5±0.2 (S.D.) pCi/ℓ respectively and no difference of Rn contents was observed in both groups. 3. The highest Rn contents in the expired air of subjects bathed in radioactive hot spring (Rn ; 58.0×10(-10) Ci/kg, watre temp. : 41±1℃.) were immediately after bathing, and the values were 10.8-25.5 pCi/ℓ (bathing for 5 min.), 16.0-27.9 pCi/ℓ (bathing for 10 min.) and 38.8-59.3 pCi/ℓ (bathing for 15 min.) respectively. Rn contents in expired air were reduced to about 1.0 pCi/ℓ during 120-180 min. after bathing. The longer the bathing time and the younger the subjects, the higher Rn contents in the expired air. The biological half-life of Rn in the expired air of subjects after bathing was 42-43 min. 4. The highest Rn contents in the expired air of subjects exposed in hot-air room (Rn in air; 54.3pCi/ℓ, air temp. : 37-38℃., humidity: 40%, staying for 15 min.), and the values were 4.9-7.8 pCi/ℓ, and gradually reduced to about 1.0 pCi/ℓ during 120 min. The bioligical half-life of Rn in the expired air after leaving the hot-air room was 43 min. 5. Rn contents in the expired air of subjects immediately after drinking of radioactive spring water (Rn contents: 596.8×10(-10) Ci/kg, 500mℓ), were the highest, and the value were 28.0-101.5 pCi/ℓ, and reduced to about 1.0pCi/ℓ during 180 min. after drinking. The biological half-life of Rn in the expired air was 40 min.


Ah. A sorcerer's magic comes from an arrangement he's made with a demon. A deal with the devil. And as long as he maintains control of it, he can use it's magic. A witch is born to use magic. They are trained in spell usage. And they are usually born to different families who are witches. Some of the things witches can do to increase their power, is as corrupting as sorcery. Sorcery=demons. Demons corrupt everything around them. And people who have done evil things are more corruptible -- or critters who have tempers like werewolves.
Yes, we'll see more of the John Lauren society. I have plans for the nasty attorney too, <grins> but they are secret (even from me) but I'm going to use her again.


Flap n Switch is a arcade game available on the android platform, the game is quite simple and addictive, it actually borrows much of the gameplay traits from the hugely popular game called "Colour Switch".
As a player, you control a unidirectional flying bird which changes colours, you control the birds altitude by tapping on the screen. The game will impart "geometry + colour" based obstacles on the birds path and you have to guide your bird through the obstacles, remember, the bird can pass through the obstacles only if the colour of the obstacles is same as the bird.
Click Here to watch this review.
But mind you, seasoned gamers will definitely like to take on this game as a challenge and since the game sync`s up the scores with "google play games", we may see a fight among gamers to gain the top slot on the leaderboard.
but hey the game is not about graphics its about the gameplay and we think the game delivers in this regard.
While we understand adds are an important part of the apps/ games ecosystem, we believe the adds were a little too frequent.
A little more control over the games difficulty levels and a little bit less advertisements will make this game a perfect candidate for some cool time pass.

Drawing on cultural paradigms as diverse as paper doll books, Mad magazine "fold-ins," and exploded schematic diagrams, the artists in the "Paper Sculpture Show" (and in its incarnation as a book) offer a visually stunning and conceptually rich hands-on exploration of the diversity of artistic practice today. The exhibition raises complicated and often contradictory issues raised when artists and visitors collaborate to make the works of art: Who are the true creators of these pieces? What is the role of the viewers-builders? Are the pieces in the show works of art or mere reproductions? Where do we locate failure or success in a project like this?
The exhibition and book were made possible in part by a grant from the Peter Norton Family Foundation.

Best Wide Receivers (Left) Available in Free Agency
Having trouble keeping up with what wide receivers will be available in free agency Tuesday, March 10 at 4 PM ET? Well, let Football Garbage Time rank and compile information on the top wide receivers still available (or likely to be available) in free agency!
1) Percy Harvin
He's still a Jet, but will likely soon be a free agent in light of the Brandon Marshall acquisition. I've already mentioned how I think he would be terrific add in Oakland, especially reuniting with his old offensive coordinator from Minnesota, Bill Musgrave.
2) Michael Crabtree
With Torrey Smith signed, Crabtree will have to move elsewhere to find targets. So far, he's been linked to the Vikings, Bills and the Dolphins. I've already mentioned that I think the Raiders should take a run at him as well.
3) Mike Wallace
Wallace is still a Dolphin…for now. But his contract requires a decision be made by Sunday, March 15, or else $3 million of his $9.9 million of his 2015 salary will vest. It doesn't seem likely that Wallace will want to take a pay cut, as he's likely to be in the top three biggest named wide receivers in free agency if he goes into free agency. I'm biased, but I think he would fit well in Chicago, now that Brandon Marshall is gone (another great receiver that floundered in Miami). But the Dolphins may still decide to suck it up and take on his $9.9 million salary in light of the mediocre remaining wide receiver free agency market.
UPDATE (3/13/15): Wallace has been signed by the Minnesota Vikings.
The #Vikings have traded for Mike Wallace: http://t.co/Edyx13I5Nu LIKE to welcome him to the team! pic.twitter.com/iE5siPvtA2
— Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) March 14, 2015
4) Andre Johnson
Johnson was finally officially released today, after requesting it through his agent a week ago.
The Houston Texans have officially released WR Andre Johnson. He's free to sign with any team. pic.twitter.com/J9k5p4EsIM
— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) March 9, 2015
I've already discussed Johnson and how I think he should go to Oakland (do you see a trend here? Yes, Oakland really needs a veteran big name receiver…), but his desire to be with a "contender" might lead him elsewhere. According to his brother, Johnson prefers to go to the Patriots, Colts, Seahawks, or Packers.
UPDATE (3/11/15): Andre Johnson has signed with the Colts and is now off the market.
5) Kenny Britt
After Brian Quick went down during the 2014 regular season, Britt stepped up in a big way in St. Louis. But the landscape in St. Louis is unclear now, particularly with respect to who will be passing the ball. In all likelihood, it won't be Shaun Hill, who actually went to Britt for 748 yards and 3 touchdowns. Reportedly, Britt wants to stay in St. Louis with his former coach at Tennessee, so perhaps St. Louis will look to keep him. But he should have plenty of suitors in free agency with his 2014 late season performance and memories of his rising dominance in Tennessee that was cut short by injury.
UPDATE (3/13/15): Kenny Britt is likely to be re-signed by St. Louis.
6) Hakeem Nicks
Nicks has definitely lost a step. He looked like he was heading for stardom in New York after being drafted in 2009, but then injuries took the luster off. He then made his way to the Colts, but only had 38 receptions for 405 yards with 4 touchdowns in 2014. Nicks commented on NFL.com about his regression in New York:
"I think in New York, I was just having injury after injury, and I think I just wasn't taking care of it the right way. I just kept trying to play through them instead of being patient and sitting and let it heal…. Now, I am extremely healthy. Looking back on it now, I think that's something that I just had to go through. My body was adjusting."
He's not likely to be a superstar anymore, but he certainly can be a solid WR2 or WR3, and will certainly garner attention in free agency.
7) Harry Douglas
This one really surprised me, as Douglas put up reliable numbers when either Roddy White or Julio Jones were out (and that happened a lot more than you think). He's already visited the Titans, who could use the receiver help, and at least some think it will be a good fit:
Former Falcons WR Harry Douglas visiting Titans and his former coach Mike Mularkey today. Logical fit.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 5, 2015
I think the Falcons made a mistake letting him go. He had a 1,000 yard season in 2013(85 receptions for 1,067 yards and 2 touchdowns), and, in spite of a down year in total, filled in admirably as a WR2 when necessary in 2014. If not the Titans, I actually think he would be a good WR2 or WR3 in any system.
UPDATE (3/11/15): Harry Douglas was signed by the Titans and is now off the market.
I'm officially a Tennessee Titan…I thank GOD for blessing me & always having my back…Excited for this new chapter pic.twitter.com/Rwfq2xR3DY
— Harry Douglas (@HDouglas83) March 11, 2015
8) Cecil Shorts
There are serious injury concerns here, but in combination with the lack of recent production (557 yards and 1 touchdown in 2014), he'll be a cheaper target with a high ceiling in free agency. He's been linked most seriously with Miami. This is the type of receiver I'd like to gamble on in free agency.
9) Denarius Moore
Apparently, Bill Polian of ESPN thinks that Moore is a B+ receiver. I'd have to disagree there. But there's no denying that there's potential, and as we work down the list, sometimes it's better to roll the dice with potential instead of a filler option.
10) Brian Hartline
And when I say filler option, I mean someone like Hartline. Solid, no frills, high floor, but low ceiling receiver. Nothing wrong with that, but you should already have a superstar WR1 before signing Hartline to round out your receiving core. Hartline has already garnered significant interest though, and visited and/or is being considered by a number of prospective teams, including Cleveland, New England, Chicago and Houston. And, of course, it's still possible for Hartline to reunite with the Dolphins.
UPDATE (3/9/15): Hartline was signed by the Browns, so he's off the market.

— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) March 10, 2015
11) Reggie Wayne
As I've already mentioned, Wayne is a first Ballot Hall of Famer for sure. But the big question is whether he'll want to come back next year since he won't be playing for the Colts. I wrote that he should go to the Browns, but his desire to spend his last year with a contender might lead him to another team.
12) Eddie Royal
With the Chargers signing Jacoby Jones, its most likely that Royal won't be back in San Diego for 2015. He's shown flashes of potential over the years, but is entirely too inconsistent. But he's still a threat both as a WR2/3 and as a kick/punt returner. He'll have a market in free agency as well.
UPDATE (3/11/15): Eddie Royal has signed with the Chicago Bears and is now off the market.
13) Dwayne Bowe
The Chiefs will reportedly release WR Dwayne Bowe if they can't trade him http://t.co/oEsz86oSCO pic.twitter.com/DI4dfSAB3B
— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) March 5, 2015
It's all but a done deal that Bowe will be released since the Chiefs are now reportedly paying Jeremy Maclin around $11 million a year. Where will he go? Well, earlier, Bowe mysteriously followed then unfollowed the Patriots account:
BREAKING RT @NEPD_Loyko: Dwayne Bowe has now suspiciously unfollowed the #Patriots account. We'll see if he tipped his hand.
— PatriotsLife (@PatriotsLife) March 9, 2015
Could he be going to the Patriots? Not a bad choice, as Belichick's system can make just about any receiver relevant. And frankly, Bowe will come at a deep discount in light of his less than stellar play over the last couple years.

You've most probably heard of UNTOLD festival which took place this summer in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. For those who aren't hipsters enough, here's the link to their website: www.untoldfestival.com. To easy your pain, UNTOLD is an electronic music festival.
This summer almost 250,000 people attended the 4-day event and for the 2016 edition over 300,000 already pre-registered, according to PROTV. I pre-registered, of course. And I was very chill that my ticket is safe and sound because I got my unique code to buy one. But here's the madness: on the 23rd of October, 6 pm, when the tickets were available online they were out in seconds! 10,000 tickets were out in less that ONE HOUR! 10,000 in less than 60 minutes… this is crazy! And yes… I didn't got to buy my ticket.
It's amazing how an event with only one pilot edition can create so much chaos. Cheers to the crazy team who managed to do this! I'm kinda frustrated that I couldn't get a ticket, but I am really proud that a bunch of Romanian guys managed to create such an amazing event.
Because of this madness, UNTOLD is nominated on 2 categories (Best Major Festival & Best New Festival) at the European Festival Awards. So, if you've attended the festival, or you're going to… or if you're just frustrated that you didn't had enough money for the first edition and you couldn't get a ticket during pre-sale now, you can vote for UNTOLD here.
Don't forget to VOTE for UNTOLD festival at European Festival Awards!
Are to planning to attend the 2016 edition? If yes, start saving some money and put your Iron Suit on, because there are over 200,000 people pre-registered who still want their early-bird ticker – including myself. 🙂 See you there!

NYU Florence Resident Advisor and Office Asst.
My name is Arielle, I'm a recent graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in Drama and will be moving back to NYC after babysitting for two years in NJ.
I love little kids, being the oldest child in my family, I've had a lot of experience watching young children at an early age! I began to develop my professional child-care skills first as a camp counselor for The Theater Camp of New Jersey and then as an occasional babysitter for various families in my community. I have been working professionally as a private babysitter and nanny for the past few years and have experience working with very active children ages 8 months-13 years. I have done bath time, meal prep, homework help, diaper changing, bottle feeding, and bedtime prep with children. I love kids and enjoy doing crafts, reading, and playing pretend with them!
I am fluent in both English and Spanish, and have conversational Italian skills. I'm happy to help with homework and tutoring if that is something you are looking for as well. In high school I was a member of the National Honors Society and as a result tutored students in English Literature and Italian for two years. In addition, I also read music and can help children practice their basic piano and singing if they are already involved in those activities.
My favorite things to do with the children I babysit are reading, making art projects, singing songs, and playing make-believe. I find that engaging children's imaginations and creativity is a great way to help them grow and learn as people!
I'm organized, energetic, and dedicated to not just babysitting your child but also being a positive influence in their life.
Acting, singing, or dancing in a show! You can also find me reading, playing with my dog, cooking (I make a mean mac n' cheese), kickboxing, playing my new ukulele, or laughing. I am very close with my family and I spend a lot of time with them as well. Fun fact, I make soap! Making soap for holidays has been a hobby of mine since I was 11 years old.
A consistently working actor, who uses my spare time to volunteer and work with children's theater. I find that helping to develop a child's imagination and sense of play through theater is incredible rewarding. When children involve themselves in the arts they gain confidence that lasts throughout the rest of their lives, and getting to be a part of developing a child's confidence is something I really value.
I love teaching children new languages. I am fluent in Spanish (it is my first language) and have conversational Italian skills which I developed during my time studying aboard in Florence. Anything from reading to having every day conversations is a lot of fun! I also love to help children develop their skills in the arts; in particular music, singing, acting, and dance. I am a professional trained singer, actor, and dancer, and am happy to share what I know with aspiring performers. I have taught myself piano and ukulele and am more than happy to help a child practice their skills at home. Cooking is another activity I like to share with the children I work with. It is always so much fun to see what we can cook up in the kitchen. And the sense of accomplishment after you make the perfect cookie…nothing beats that!

Remembering Golden Era Fighter: Phaiboon Fairtex
Monlit Sitphodaeng, former trainer at Fairtex, prepared for his drive upcountry to a Northerneastern (an area commonly referred to as "Isaan") province called Chaiyaphum. Usually an active and funny person, he drove in solemn silence. The ride from Bangkok to Chaiyaphum was long, taking at least 5-7 hours, and this was his second time going there within a month. Last time, he went to visit his friend and former student who was in the hospital, sick with cancer. "When he sees me again, his former teacher, he will become strong again," Monlit said hopefully. Unfortunately, cancer does not care if you or your loved ones wish for you to become better. Once again, Monlit was going up to Chaiyaphum, but this time, to become a monk and to help become a vital part of the funeral procession of the same friend. This person was Phaiboon Fairtex, a tough fighter from the Golden Era. A southpaw with vicious low kicks and punches, he was known for never stepping back in a fight and hurting many with his right hook. Phaiboon was also responsible for bringing fellow Fairtex stablemate Jongsanan to the camp. Thanks to Phaiboon and Monlit, Jongsanan was able to achieve great […]

Monlit Sitphodaeng, former trainer at Fairtex, prepared for his drive upcountry to a Northerneastern (an area commonly referred to as "Isaan") province called Chaiyaphum. Usually an active and funny person, he drove in solemn silence. The ride from Bangkok to Chaiyaphum was long, taking at least 5-7 hours, and this was his second time going there within a month.
Last time, he went to visit his friend and former student who was in the hospital, sick with cancer. "When he sees me again, his former teacher, he will become strong again," Monlit said hopefully.
Unfortunately, cancer does not care if you or your loved ones wish for you to become better.
Once again, Monlit was going up to Chaiyaphum, but this time, to become a monk and to help become a vital part of the funeral procession of the same friend.
This person was Phaiboon Fairtex, a tough fighter from the Golden Era. A southpaw with vicious low kicks and punches, he was known for never stepping back in a fight and hurting many with his right hook. Phaiboon was also responsible for bringing fellow Fairtex stablemate Jongsanan to the camp. Thanks to Phaiboon and Monlit, Jongsanan was able to achieve great victory and fame, just like Phaiboon.
Phaiboon had passed away from liver cancer just several days ago. He was 56 years old. And the time had come to proceed with the Buddhist tradition of familial gatherings, chantings, and cremation.
The first night of gathering and Buddhist prayers at Phaiboon's front yard could have easily been mistaken as a social gathering among friends to catch up. People were eating, laughing, drinking, and seemingly had a good time. But, everyone was wearing either black or white, a constant reminder of why people were really there.
"He was a really tough fighter. Fearless." said Timothy Dharmajiva, owner of Sitsongpeenong Muaythai, where Monlit currently works. "You know Petchboonchu? Much tougher than Petchboonchu."
Rick Sollo, who trained with Phaiboon at Fairtex beginning in 1992, said, "He was a cool guy out of the ring and a fantastic pad holderin the ring. Working with him was always an event. We used to call him Charles Bronson and his toughness was an inspiration. We will not see another like him again….Our prayers to an unforgettable man, one of the best pad holders ever..no one else is close."

The next morning, close male friends and a few family members prepared for becoming a monk for a day. This often happens in Thai Buddhist culture as becoming a monk shows love for the deceased and support for the decreased's family. It also accumulates merit. For this preparation, the head is completely shaven along with the eyebrows to show non-vanity.

After, the men were taken to a temple to change into monk garb. Monlit came back to the yard dressed in a saffron robe, transforming both physically and in his aura. Lunch was presented to the newly-made temporary monks, and the monks are careful to follow a code of not having any direct physical contact with women.
After a few hours, the clock struck noon. It was time to proceed with the funeral. All flower wreaths for Phaiboon were loaded into a pickup truck while the intricately decorated coffin was loaded into another. The novice monks lined up, holding a rope connected to the coffin, and hundreds of people walked behind the monks. Solemn music played during the walk to the funeral area.
Half a village worth of people, hundreds, sat down. The close family members sat inside an area in front of the monks, while other guests sat down in plastic seats surrounding the prayer area. Special guest Khaopong Sitthichuchai made an appearance to pay respects to Phaiboon. At the 1984 Summer Olympics, he won a silver medal in the men's Light Welterweight category, making him the second Thai ever to bring a Olympic medal back to Thailand.

Prayers and speech went on for over four hours. There was even a traditional Thai dance performance as well as a Muay Boran demonstration.

Offerings were made, and it was time to say final goodbyes to Phaiboon.
Monlit was the first to go up to the altar where the body was inside the coffin. Carrying a white paper flower, he walked up the stairs. There, the beautiful coffin had an opening, presumably where the head of Phaiboon was. In front was a bushel of herbs in a bowl of water. Taking the bushel, he shook the water into the opening a couple times. Tears rolled down his face as he placed the white paper flower down on a plate next to the bushel. He walked down the stairs silently and clearly unable to hide his grief any longer. The other monks followed suit, then close family members and other guests did as well.
After all final farewells were said, everyone stepped back and said the final chanting prayers along with the monks. Unlike the night before, there was no longer fun in the air. Clear in everyone's mind was Phaiboon, and many people well already had swollen eyes and wet faces from the tears shed. Everyone waited as the coffin was loaded into the crematorium vault.
The door finally locked shut and everyone stood clear of the altar. Monlit and a select couple others stood around a button. Together, they pressed it. A firework-like sound sounded sharply as a spark traveled in a square, from tree to tree, before finally hitting the door of the vault.
Everyone stared at the altar for a bit longer before going on their way. The novice monks changed back into their regular clothes, Monlit included. Afterwards, Monlit walked back to his car and started the long drive back to Bangkok. In a melancholic mood, he was very reflective. Just an hour from reaching Bangkok, he started talking again, but in a different manner compared to the last couple of days. "Phaiboon…he was strong," Monlit said proudly. "I trained him. Aggressive, bold, and daring."
The memory of Phaiboon Fairtex continues and will always continue on in everyone's heart and memory. Rest in peace, warrior.

La panada és una pasta cuita normalment de farina, en forma d'una capsa rodona o triangular, farcida de carn, de peix o de verdura.

Història
Les panades eren elaboracions molt preuades a l'època moderna. De la mateixa manera que les coques de recapte, admetien tot tipus de variacions. Es farcien amb carn, peix i sobretot verdures, ja que era l'opció més econòmica. En aquell temps, els espinacs a la catalana, amb panses i pinyons, ja eren molt populars i era freqüent utilitzar-los per farcir els panadons.

Ja s'esmenten en el Llibre de Sent Soví del , el primer receptari conegut de cuina catalana. Concretament descriu tres receptes en els capítols 134, 138 i 139 que elaborava el panicer com s'anomenava a l'època al forner. Eren preparacions molt populars als Països Catalans i a tot Europa fins a final del . Apareixen per exemple als receptaris antics Arte de Cozina de Diego Granado (1599) o bé Le pastissier françois (1653)

Els panadons es condimentaven amb espècies per aconseguir sabors més intensos i també admetien opcions dolces, com els de fruites.
Aquestes menges eren fàcils de conservar i transportar, i es podien prendre tant calentes com fredes, característiques que resultaven molt pràctiques per als viatgers de l'època.

Panades als territoris de parla catalana
A Mallorca, tenen forma cilíndrica i poden ser de carn, de peix o de xítxeros o pèsols (o una combinació d'aquests ingredients). Les més conegudes, són les que es fan de carn de be per Pasqua Florida, car és l'època en què aquesta carn és més bona.

A Menorca es diuen "formatjades" i, malgrat el seu nom, no contenen formatge sinó típicament dauets de carn, una mica de saïm i de sobrassada. Es mengen tot l'any però especialment a les festes de cada població.

A Catalunya sobretot son molt típiques a Lleida. Poden ser salades amb espinacs, panses i pinyons, de formatge i ceba o amb carn, com per exemple de botifarra i ceba. També n'hi han de dolces amb cabell d'àngel o carbassa (anomenats pastissets).

Al País Valencià són conegudes com a pastissets, però aquests poden ser tant salats com dolços (és a dir, una casqueta). A Xaló, però, se'n diuen bollos. A Pedreguer se'n diuen bollets si són fregides; en altres llocs el nom de bollet és un sinònim de "pastisset".

Panades al món
Les panades són un menjar molt típic arreu del món, i són molt populars a l'Argentina, Castella-La Manxa i Galícia. A la Manxa se'n mengen farcides de pisto, mentre que a Galícia són de grans dimensions i solen portar peix (bacallà amb panses, tonyina…), marisc o carn.

A Cornualla i Yorkshire, Regne Unit, són també típiques i es consumeixen arreu d'Anglaterra. Segons la teoria popular, foren les dones dels miners britànics qui crearen la panada com una mena de coca tapada, en veure que als seus marits els queia el farcit de l'entrepà.

A Portugal i al Brasil es poden trobar de dues classes: el pastel, on la massa és molt fina i es fregeix; i lempada, feta de pasta brisa i cuita al forn.

Tanmateix, l'origen de la panada és molt disputat, i en ser un menjar tan senzill és molt difícil de precisar un sol origen. Alguns especulen que no es tracta d'un menjar originat en un lloc i tramés als altres, sinó, com l'entrepà, d'un invent simultani. Cal destacar que la panada s'assembla a moltes coques, encara que en general la pasta és una altra i les coques tendeixen a ser un àpat comunitari - hi ha excepcions -, mentre les panades són sempre individuals.

Identity theft is the UK's fastest growing crime. And yet hundreds of thousands of Britons still throw out their bank statements in the rubbish. All the fraudsters need could be right outside your house. What are you doing to protect your information? It's time to make a change.
You probably receive hundreds or even thousands of pieces of paper in the course of a year. It's no longer simple disposing of these: you'll want a pile for recycling a pile for the rubbish, and now another pile for safe disposal.
Legal, financial, insurance, medical, holiday and work paperwork.
To any potential fraudster, whether they want to play a prank or steal your life savings, your computer is a gold mine. It stores certain valuable information that you must take care to store and dispose of properly. Take precautions to keep your computer physically safe – lock the study door, keep windows closed – and also to maintain the information within it.
Keep sensitive and financial documents in an encrypted file on your hard drive, or remove to a flash drive.
Don't allow your internet browser to store passwords.
Delete cookies and browsing history at least once a fortnight.
Set a password to access your computer. And don't keep it on a sticky note attached to the screen.
Your mobile phone, MP3 player, and your Blackberry are all prime targets for fraudsters. PCs that are improperly disposed of have been found in Africa, where unscrupulous users have no hesitation in selling on the personal information. When the time comes to replace your hardware, take measures to protect yourself.
PCs: Your old PC must be formatted and 'cleaned' before being taken to the tip. If you don't have an expert on hand to clean up the hard drive, you can hire a specialist to do this. Some companies will reformat your PC on your behalf, and some will dispose of them too. If you're trading-in, make sure the company you use will get rid of your old computer responsibly – not just deleting your information, but disposing of the hardware in an environmentally friendly manner. If you can't afford to use one of these services, a last resort is taking a hammer to the hard drive.
Mobile phones and Blackberrys: Clear the contact book, messages, pictures, and videos from your phone, and remove the SIM before returning to the manufacturer. Mobile phones are either taken apart and recycled, or refurbished for use in other countries. If the latter, it's important to ensure that your mobile leaves your hands without any sensitive information.

Not required: NTA on whether legal opinion was sought for facial recognition in exam centres
Previously, the National Testing Agency had floated two tenders for installing facial recognition tech and CCTV cameras.
Aihik Sur
The National Testing Agency (NTA) which is introducing facial recognition for verification of candidates sitting for entrance examinations like Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), and so on, did not seek a legal opinion before introducing the technology, the autonomous agency told MediaNama in response to a Right to Information request. It also did not provide a direct answer to whether it conducted a privacy impact assessment for the project.
Question: Please state whether any legal opinion was sought by the National Testing Agency prior to procurement of the said facial recognition system
NTA: No, there was no such requirement
The introduction of facial recognition technology at exam centres is going to affect millions of students since India does not have robust laws in place to regulate the use of such technologies which deal with sensitive data. The Personal Data Protection Bill, which would address such concerns, is yet to be introduced in the Lok Sabha.
We also asked the NTA whether it had undertaken a privacy impact assessment of the facial recognition project that potentially involves data of millions of students including minors.
MediaNama: Please provide information regarding any privacy impact assessment done before the proposed use of facial recognition system
NTA: Please refer to Tender Document (Clause 11.9) Appointment of Successful Bidders.
Read: Major entrance examinations such as JEE, NEET, UGC-NET to come under facial recognition surveillance
NTA's response on privacy assessment does not hold ground
Before going any further, it is important to note that the NTA floated two tenders recently for the installation of facial recognition technology at the exam centres. While one of the tenders looked into verification of exam candidates, the other was for candidates who will give the exams offline. Apart from the technical specifications, many provisions including the "Appointment of Successful Bidders" section are the same in the two tenders.
Contrary to NTA's response that Clause 11.9 is the section that talked about 'Appointment of Successful Bidders', the tender actually showed that it was Clause 10.9. Now let's see what it exactly says (or whether it says anything) regarding conducting a privacy impact assessment.
The selected bidder will be responsible for providing secure systems. The selected bidder is expected to adhere to Information Security Management procedures as per acceptable standards with best practices. The selected bidder shall be responsible for guarding the Systems against virus, malware, spyware and spam infections using the latest Antivirus corporate/Enterprise edition suites which include anti-malware, anti spyware and anti-spam solution for the entire system. The vendor shall have to maintain strict privacy and confidentiality of all the data it gets access to – National Testing Agency in both tenders (emphasis supplied)
This essentially shifts the entire responsibility of protection of data to the vendor and does not talk about conducting a privacy impact assessment.
What does the draft PDP Bill say about privacy assessment?
According to the draft Personal Data Protection Bill, a data protection impact assessment should contain—
Description of the proposed processing operation; the purpose of processing and nature of personal data being processed
Assessment of potential harm that may cause the subjects
Measures of removing, minimising, managing risk of harm
When the NTA's clause and the PDP Bill provision on privacy assessment are juxtaposed, it implies that the NTA failed to take up a privacy/data protection assessment.
'Confidential information, cannot be disclosed'
MediaNama also asked NTA to provide details of persons or organisations authorised to operate and use facial recognition technology; to which it replied, "The details of the persons or organizations authorized to operate and use facial recognition technology cannot be made public by the National Testing Agency." The tender does not specify how the data is going to be stored, whether it is going to be used by third parties, and if so, how the data is going to be used.
The NTA also declined to provide information regarding databases that the NTA is using for matching the photographs/videos obtained through the facial recognition system. "Information sought is confidential in nature, cannot be provided," the agency said.
Facial recognition being brought in for fighting impersonation: NTA
In the two tenders that were floated, the NTA claimed that facial recognition systems and other biometric verification processes were being introduced to thwart impersonation problems. Impersonation in entrance tests such as JEE is not something new and continues to this day.
In 2020, the Assam topper of JEE Main 2020 was arrested for allegedly using an impersonator to sit for the exam. Additionally, the NTA had recently deployed an AI algorithm to detect impersonation and had identified 56 such candidates from the February cycle of JEE Main 2021. Their images matched with some of the 20,000 top-ranked candidates for the exams in 2019 and 2020, a report by the Times of India said.
This proposal coupled with the recent tender floated by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) for the introduction of FRT for online examinations conducted by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), brings a majority of Indian entrance examinations under the ambit of facial recognition.

Dwarves could be orcs that evolved to deal with the tight spaces underground were endurance and intelligence were more important than strength.
Gnomes could be dwarves that were fey-touched. Perhaps elves and gnomes came about at the same time.
I am not sure how to explain halflings. I always like the idea of them as interdimensional interlopers who came to the present world through the Plane of Shadow though.
Ramifications depend on what the orcs are like. Are they like traditional orcs in the MM? Are they dominant or have the new races forced them down?
The orcs can be the same… or similar to the MM Orc.
Oh but this backwater planet is also inhabited by fey creatures. They had been watching the development of these "Orcs", but weren't quite sure what to do with the large ugly brutes. "What if we had some big brutes of our own to do things for us?" was a common question amongst the fey that had witnessed the size and strength of the orcs. What if… indeed. At first they tried taking orc babies and training them, but that never seemed to work. The orcs never lasted long enough to get any real work done. What to do… What to do… Aha… The idea of the Elf was born. The Elves were created to serve the fey. At first they were nearly as tall as the orcs, but much more slender. Subsequent generations of elves became smaller and seemingly more fey-like.
The Elves produced quite a bit of offspring… as compared to the fey… and soon the fey were overrun with Elves. It is unclear if the fey grew bored with the maintenance having Elven servants required or if the Elves just willfully left the service of the fey. In either case, the elves were on their own as a separate class of beings.
The orcs largely ignored their new neighbors… they new their destiny belonged with their outsider creator so they trained for war as was their duty to their "god". But the Elves were quite curious about their ugly, brutish progenitors so they tried and eventually succeeded in establishing relations with them.
As a suggestion when writing these replies, could you, rather than replying to your post, reply to my comment.
That way I get e-mailed with a notification that you replied. Otherwise I won't know except by chance.

Breeder (slang)
"For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of Papists, with whom we are yearly over-run, being the principal breeders of the nation, as well as our most dangerous enemies, and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good Protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country, than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an episcopal curate." --"A Modest Proposal", Jonathan Swift
"Breeder" is a derogative term for people that have children (or heterosexuals in general).
"Breeder" may also be used as a derogatory term by childfree people of any sexual orientation, to refer to parents who focus on their children and abandon their previous friends and lifestyle, or to women who give birth to many children. The phrases "breeder, not parent" (BNP) or "parent, not breeder" (PNB) are used by some childfree communities to differentiate between what they regard as positive and negative parenting.
The use of "breeder" in this way is not new. It appears, for example, in Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal, in which Swift repeatedly uses "breeder" to refer to human breeding:
The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract thirty thousand couples who are able to maintain their own children, although I apprehend there cannot be so many, under the present distresses of the kingdom; but this being granted, there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders.
Swift's piece was meant as black humor, and refers to the breeding of children for cannibalism. Some parents resent being referred to as "breeders", and feel that the word unduly reduces the process of child-raising to animal husbandry.
The term was part of a 2006 controversy in the heavily gay resort town of Provincetown, Massachusetts, when petitioners against same-sex marriage whose identity was published complained of having been called "breeders". SFGate described the term as "a joking or derogatory slur used by gays to describe heterosexuals".
Similarly, the term "welfare breeder" is colloquially and pejoratively used to refer to a person who is suspected of having children in order to obtain government resources, similar to the term welfare queen.

2019 Adapted Softba State Tournament
Posted by Robins Adapted Athletics (P.I. Team) at Jun 1, 2019 7:48PM PDT
The Robins opened the 2019 Adapted Softball State Tournament in the same fashion they ended the regular season, with a dominating 5 inning victory. The Robins faced the Burnsville-Farmington-Lakeville Blazing Cats in the state quarterfinals and took charge immediately, posting the maximum 5 runs in the first inning. They added 1 run in the second, 2 in the third and 2 more in the fourth as they cruised to victory.
The second day of the adapted softball state tournament got off to a rough start for the Robins, as they struggled with their bats and their fielding when they faced the #2 seed from the South Conference, the Rochester Raiders. The game was 2-0 in favor of the Raiders through two innings, but things got out of hand quickly in the third inning, and the Raiders ultimately pulled away with a 13-3 win in 5 innings.
The Robins bounced back nicely, played some solid defense and got some timely hitting as they took home the third place trophy by defeating the Osseo Orioles 7-3. Three runs in the first inning and three more in the second proved to be more than enough as the Robins defense only allowed 5 Orioles base runners to advance to second base or beyond.
Sam Roles and Vincent Luu were named to the Wells-Fargo All-Tournament Team. Congratulations, Robins – it was another great season! #Robination
05/16/2019 Robins vs. Mounds View
Posted by Robins Adapted Athletics (P.I. Team) at May 18, 2019 8:19PM PDT
In the season finale, the Robins got solid contributions from every player on the roster and coasted to an 11-1, 5-inning victory to finish the season on a high note and lock up the North Conference Championship and a #1 seed at the State Tournament. Edgar Kinanga, Maddie Ausk, Darius Larson, Izear Joiner, Sam Roles and Ava Hetteen all finished the game with two hits each, including a game-ending home run from Hetteen in the bottom of the fifth inning. Vincent Luu had 3 RBI while Ethan Sullivan and Nikki Dougan both had 2 RBI. Roles covered all five innings on the mound, allowing just three hits to go with one earned run. The Robins finish the season with a 7-1 record and now will have two weeks to prepare for the State Tournament on May 31 and June 1 at Chanhassen High School.
05/14/2019 Robins @ Anoka-Hennepin
The Robins came into this game determined to avenge their early-season loss to the Anoka-Hennepin Mustangs, but found themselves struggling early before settling down and grinding out a solid 11-5 victory. Quiet bats and a few shaky defensive plays had the Robins trailing 4-0 after three innings, but five hits and three runs in the fourth inning got the entire squad going. The Mustangs answered with one run in the bottom of the fourth to take a 5-3 lead before the Robins defense got dialed in and shut them down over the final three innings. The Robins hung on to a 6-5 lead heading into the seventh inning, then erupted for six consecutive hits that scored five runs to put the game out of reach. Izear Joiner, Maddie Ausk, VIncent Luu, Edgar Kinanga, Sam Roles and Ethan Sullivan all recorded three hits apiece, with Kinanga and Lucas Harper finishing the game with 3 RBI each. Roles pitched all seven innings, allowing 3 earned runs to go with his two doubles and 2 RBI. The win catapults the Robins into first place in the North Conference with one game remaining on the schedule.
5/7/2019 Robins vs. Minneapolis
Posted by Robins Adapted Athletics (P.I. Team) at May 10, 2019 6:14AM PDT
The Robins' winning streak hit four games with an impressive 11-0 home win over Minneapolis. This game was scoreless until the bottom of the third inning when the Robins put two of the first three batters on base before Vincent Luu drove them both in with a three-run home run. Sam Roles opened the fourth inning with a home run of his own before Nick Johnson drove Owen Karjala in with a triple, putting the Robins ahead 5-0. Seven consecutive hits to open the fifth inning put the Robins ahead 9-0, then Izear Joiner ended the game in the home half of the sixth inning with a two-run home run. Joiner had his fourth consecutive 4-4 game at the plate and has done an excellent job of finding openings in the field and hitting the ball hard. Sam Roles went 3-3 while Maddie Ausk and Vincent Luu both recorded two hits. Roles pitched all six innings, allowing just 5 hits to get the win. The Robins are on the road on May 14 to face the Anoka-Hennepin Mustangs in a pivotal battle for first place in the North Conference.
5/2/2019 Robins @ Osseo
The Robins trailed early, but maintained consistent hitting and fielding in the middle innings of the game and prevailed 10-4 in a crucial North Conference match up against the Osseo Orioles. After trailing 3-0 after the first inning and 4-3 after the third, the Robins defense tightened up and shut the Orioles down for four consecutive innings. Their bats were consistent in innings three through seven, scoring at least one run in the top half of every one of those innings. Izear Joiner is nearing "red-hot" status at the plate, once again going 4-4 with 2 RBI. Ava Hetteen went 3-3 and scored three times while Edgar Kinanga, Sam Roles Marcus Brady and Darius Larson all collected 3 hits each. The Robins will look to push their winning streak to four games next Tuesday when they return home to face Minneapolis.

It's an anime comedy about fans talking about anime. It's quite clever and gets a bit meta, but eventually you can't call the earlier episodes "meta" any more because the ending's gone berserk and is eating the world. That's one freaky ending. I admire it, but I'd need more time to process it.
The show's quite good, I think.
It's a spin-off of a one-off short called Anime-Gatari. It aired in cinemas as an intermission thing, but then it went to series. This is that series. Our heroes include:
1. MAYA - the girl who isn't an anime fan in ep.1 and so will need everything explained to her. In other words, she's the audience. Even if you thought you knew anime inside-out, you will be Maya. This show knows and loves anime more than me, you and anyone I know. It's educational. It's full of titbits I didn't know and tweaked-name references to specific shows.
2. ARISU - the rich girl who spends insane amounts of money on merchandise.
3. MIKO - the bookworm. She'll have read the light novels before they got turned into anime and she'll bitch about the latter for cutting the best scenes and ruining the pacing. Naturally this tends to mean war with her fellow club members, who don't read books and don't care about the source material. Later, when the anime club make their own anime for the school culture festival, she'll be the long-suffering scriptwriter.
4. KAI-KAI - the massive ham and chuunibyou.
5. AURORA - serene, smiley, doesn't like his name.
Oh, and there's also a talking cat. No one gives him much thought.
Anyone who already knows everything we're told in this show is probably already an anime director. Ep.3 does cosplay, Akihabara and the three-episode rule. Ep.6 makes jokes about "god rays", i.e. those light beams that hide censorable things and will be mysteriously absent if you buy the Blu-rays. Ep.9 does sports anime. It's great because they know what they're talking about and the things they're saying are all true. When the anime club make their own anime, the show even starts lampooning the anime production process, with for instance Erika turning into the archetypal producer, who'll perpetrate outrages left, right and centre while sweet-talking her crew into not quitting and accepting it.
There are enemies. The school's student council is evil, persecuting the anime club because... well, to be honest, I initially assumed that this was basically a device to give the show something to do beyond having conversations. Oh, and Fat Teacher is capable of having a bit of a Fat Voice, which could be annoying.
Then, finally, comes the ending. It surprised me, even though I thought I'd heard all about it from spoilers. It goes meta in a way I don't remember seeing before, but then keeps going and turns that into the plot. In short, it's mental and if you watch this show with a friend, afterwards you'll be having conversations that go "what the hell happened there?" and "I thought the show had shut down early in ep.11, so I couldn't process what I was watching when the plot kept continuing." This ending will make your head explode and afterwards you should probably take some time to remember the earlier episodes, since otherwise the sheer loopiness of that ending might obliterate your memories of them. Those episodes were easier to process and hence, to be honest, probably more enjoyable.
This is a gloriously clever show, but most people probably won't see and/or care about its cleverness. It's just talking about anime. That's what the title means in Japanese. It doesn't have much of a plot almost until the ending (which is bonkers) and you probably won't enjoy the show if you're not already interested in the subject matter. I wouldn't recommend trying to marathon it, even for its fans. It's interesting, though, and I found it funny.
