Can A Gay Man Targeted By Co-workers Sue For Sexual Harassment?
A Recent Federal Appeals Decision Says Yes
By JOANNA GROSSMAN

Tuesday, Oct. 08, 2002
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has done it again. It issued an opinion that sounds extreme, may be vulnerable to reversal by the Supreme Court, and, yet, is correct.
The case was Rene v. MGM Grand Hotel, and the opinion was issued by an en banc panel - that is, a large panel of judges reconsidering an earlier, three-judge panel's decision. (Here, the three-judge panel had previously dismissed the claim).
In Rene, the en banc panel held that a man harassed by his co-workers because he was gay could maintain an action for sexual harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the primary federal anti-discrimination statute.
The Allegations in Rene v. MGM Grand Hotel
The plaintiff in the suit, Median Rene, is an openly gay man who worked as a butler in a Las Vegas hotel, on a floor reserved for high-profile and wealthy clients. According to his complaint and evidence obtained during discovery, Rene was subjected to a hostile environment by his fellow butlers--all male--over a two-year period.
Rene filed suit alleging that this harassing behavior violated his rights under Title VII. Title VII prohibits discrimination (including harassment) on the basis of sex, but not on the basis of sexual orientation. Every court to address the issue has agreed with this interpretation of Title VII, and Congress has failed to amend Title VII to add sexual orientation to its list of prohibited characteristics despite several bills that have been introduced over the years.
Accordingly, Rene could not simply allege that he had faced discrimination because he was gay. Rather, to state a Title VII case, he was required to allege that he had faced discrimination "because of sex."
Had he? That was the question for the trial court - which said no, as did the appellate panel. But, as noted above, the en banc panel disagreed.
When Does Harassment Occur "Because of Sex"?
What does it mean for harassment to occur "because of sex," as Title VII requires? Surprisingly, given Title VII's long history, the answer to that question is still not entirely clear.
In cases of opposite-sex harassment, the "because of sex" requirement has traditionally been overlooked. Courts have simply presumed that when men harass women they do so because of sex--that is, they wouldn't direct the same conduct at men. And in some cases, that is obviously true: When a straight man makes suggestive comments to a female employee, it is happening in part because she is a woman. He would not do the same to a man.
Five years ago, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, a case raising the issue whether same-sex harassment could be actionable under Title VII. The Court in that case said yes--as long as it could be proven that the harassment occurred "because of sex." Unfortunately, the Court left partially unanswered the question of when, exactly, harassment does indeed occur "because of sex."
Applying the "Because of Sex" Test In Same-Sex Harassment Cases
The "because of sex" issue becomes particularly problematic in same-sex harassment cases in which it is not the case that both parties are gay.
But what if there is no evidence as to the perpetrator's homosexuality? Or what if it is clear that a straight man (or woman) is harassing a gay man or woman? Even in these instances, a plaintiff can satisfy the "because of sex" requirement in other ways.
Post-Oncale courts have looked to comparative evidence about other victims. They have asked, for example, does the harasser in fact only target victims of one sex? If a straight man targets only gay men, and not straight women or lesbians, one can argue that he is targeting them because of their sex; if they were women, they would not be targeted.
Court applying the "because of sex" requirement have also looked to evidence about the nature of the conduct: was the conduct obviously sexual? If so, one can infer it was "because of sex."
This point ought to help Rene's case - as he alleges that he was the victim of the same kind of demeaning sexual touching that one thinks of as the basis for a more traditional sexual harassment case. Similarly, the sexual gifts and images Rene was given echo traditional sexual harassment cases in which, for instance, men leave sexual photos and items for women in their workplace to find or view.
Finally, courts applying the "because of sex" requirement have also looked to evidence of the harasser's animosity toward particular members of his own sex. Was the harasser policing gender roles by punishing effeminate men? If so, the court can infer that the harassment occurred "because of sex."
Again, this helps Rene: He alleges he was called names that are usually endearments directed towards women, and exposed to the same whistles and blown kisses women are usually the ones to endure. In harassing him as they might harass a woman, Rene can argue, the other butlers were expressing discomfort with his sexuality and punishing him "because of sex."
The Ruling of the En Banc Court: Relying on the Oncale Decision
In a split decision, the eleven-member en banc court upheld Rene's legal theory that harassment may be motivated by sexual orientation, but still be actionable under Title VII. Evidence of the plaintiff's sexual orientation, the panel concluded, is irrelevant to his claim.
A plurality of the panel joined an opinion holding that as long as the conduct is sexual in nature, it is "because of sex." Evidence of the victim's sexual orientation is simply irrelevant. Thus because Rene was subjected to physical attacks, "which targeted body parts clearly linked to his sexuality," the harassment of him was "because of sex."
In Oncale itself, the Rene plurality explained, the plaintiff was a gay man who worked on an oil rig with no women. For the Supreme Court to find his claim actionable, it must have believed that it was enough for him to show he was discriminated against in comparison to other men.
Using that approach, the panel concluded that Rene, like Oncale, suffered actionable discrimination.
The Concurrence's Differing Approach: Gender Stereotyping Harassment
Three judges concurred in the result, giving the plurality enough votes to overturn the lower court's grant of summary judgment to the employer. But each wrote separately to explicate a different rationale for reaching that result. In Judge Pregerson's view, the proper characterization of Rene's claim is "gender stereotyping harassment." Rene was being punished by his male co-workers for failing to live up to their standards of masculine behavior.
Gender policing is actionable under Title VII. The Supreme Court gave its imprimatur to such a claim in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins. There, the Court held that Ann Hopkins was a victim of sex discrimination when her employer criticized her for being, in essence, insufficiently feminine, in the way she dressed and conducted herself.
The Ninth Circuit applied Hopkins in a recent case involving a harassment claim by a gay, male employee. In that case, Nichols v. Azteca Restaurant Enterprises, Inc., the Court concluded that verbal harassment reflecting hostility toward the victim because he was too feminine constituted illegal sex-stereotyping. As a result, the court concluded, such conduct was a valid basis for a discrimination suit.
The Dissenters' Divergence: Only Sexual Orientation Discrimination, and No More
Four judges dissented from the result in this case, expressing the view that Rene's claim was invalid under Title VII. The dissenters concluded that Rene could not show he was harassed because he was male, but only because he was homosexual. And since Title VII does not forbid sexual orientation discrimination, they would have held that he had no case.
Based on the evidence, the dissenters reasoned, Rene could not avail himself of any of the different ways of proving the harassment was because of sex. The harassers were not homosexual, and there was no evidence that they were generally hostile to the presence of men in the workplace. In addition, because only men worked on the 29th floor of the hotel, there was no direct comparative evidence showing that women were treated better than Rene was. Without any of these pieces of evidence, the dissenters suggested, Rene could not make out a valid claim.
The dissenters also cautioned that a case premised on sex-stereotyping must be based on the way the victim conducts himself on the job. In their view, a man who is homosexual in his private life, but lives up to masculine norms at work, cannot recover for harassment based on sex-stereotyping.
Which Judges Got it Right? The Plurality's Questionable Reasoning
The plurality put forth a potentially valid theory. Nevertheless, it also made some serious missteps that undermine the opinion.
First, the plurality appears at times to equate the term "sex," as used in Title VII, with "sexual." By using these terms interchangeably, it is easy to conclude that any sexual conduct is "because of sex." But the Supreme Court has made clear that "sex," in this context, is interchangeable with "gender." For Title VII's purposes, "sex" refers to one's status as male or female, not to sexual activity per se.
Second, the plurality misspeaks when it claims that it is illegal discrimination to treat some men differently from other men, without regard to how women are treated. To the contrary, what makes discrimination illegal under Title VII is that it only singles out one sex for worse treatment than the other.
Third, the plurality's reading of Oncale is probably not warranted, since the Supreme Court in that case did not say that Oncale had a valid claim. It only held that the lower court's categorical rejection of same-sex harassment was inappropriate.
Thus, the Court in Oncale held that some same-sex harassment cases could be based on same sex harassment - but not that Oncale's own case was necessarily one of them. It then remanded the case to the lower court for a determination whether he was harassed "because of sex." Then the case settled out of court prior to any determination being made: there has still, in short, been no judicial determination as to whether Oncale's allegations described a case of discrimination "because of sex."
For all of these reasons, the plurality opinion is open to criticism.
The Basic Principle Behind the Plurality Opinion May Be Correct
Grabbing a man's testicles, for instance, is something one only does to a man; grabbing a woman's breasts is something uniquely done to women. And in Rene's case, putting a finger into a gay man's anus through his clothes - in a gesture that apparently refers to gay sex between men - occurs not only because the victim is gay, but also because he is a man. A women would be unlikely to face the same treatment, and if she did, it would likely have a different meaning, connoting the harasser's ability to touch her intimately, rather than taunting her for her sexuality.
It is thus in most cases appropriate to draw the inference that sexual touching is done "because of sex."
Of course, there may be unusual cases in which such an inference is not warranted -- for example, the case of the rare equal opportunity harasser who demands oral sex from both his male and female employees. (I discussed the status under the law of the equal opportunity harasser in a prior column.)
Nevertheless, the shortcut the plurality takes, from sexual touching to touching "because of sex," will in most cases be supportable.
Judge Pregerson's Concurrence Offers Another Strong Basis for the Result
There is also another reason to believe the plurality reached the right result, even if its theory has flaws. Judge Pregerson's concurrence puts forth a workable theory for validating Rene's claim, one that supports the plurality's result.
The Supreme Court's validation of sex-stereotyping discrimination in Hopkins has been underutilized in the thirteen years since that opinion was issued. In fact, it is a potentially wide-ranging approach to evaluating both opposite- and same-sex harassment claims.
When gay men are harassed by their co-workers for being effeminate or womanly, they are being subjected to harassment on the basis of sex. It is because they are men who do not live up to male standards that they are singled out for maltreatment.
In the same vein, women who are harassed because they do "men's jobs," or wear "butch" hairstyles, or choose to wear pants and not skirts, are being singled out for their failure to live up to standards for women.
Potential Limits and Extensions of the Sex-Stereotype Approach to Evaluating Harassment Claims
The sex-stereotype theory only works, however, if the victim does in fact defy gender stereotypes. A federal court in New York - in the case of Martin v. New York State Department of Correctional Services - just dismissed a claim similar to the one in Rene because the plaintiff had not proven he was effeminate enough to justify invoking the sex-stereotype theory of harassment. This approach may be what the Supreme Court uses to limit the breadth of the sex-stereotype theory should it decide to hear the Rene case.
On the other hand, the sex-stereotype approach could encompass even more than the concurrence lets on, though. Even more broadly, one could argue that all harassment based on sexual orientation is harassment based on sex, since it involves the application of different expectations to men and women.
Harassing men for being gay singles them out for doing something that women are routinely expected to do--namely, sleep with men. That's sex discrimination, plain and simple.
No court has ever acknowledged this result in the context of sex discrimination. However, the Supreme Court applied similar reasoning in Loving v. Virginia, when it declared anti-miscegenation laws unconstitutional.
Virginia's law prohibited whites and non-whites from marrying. Virginia argued that the law did not violate the equal protection clause because it was an "equal opportunity" law: It prevented whites from marrying blacks as much as it prevented blacks from marrying whites. The Court, however, held that the law could constitute race discrimination regardless of the fact that it applied to both races.
Sex orientation discrimination discriminates "because of sex" in the same way that the Virginia law - as the Court held - discriminated "because of race." Sexual orientation discrimination is exemplified by a workplace norm, enforced by harassing co-workers, saying that men should only sleep with women and women should only sleep with men. The Virginia law said, similarly, that whites should only marry whites, and blacks should only marry blacks. Both are discriminatory for the same reason. Both the norm and the law, in prohibiting "mixing," constitute discrimination.
Rene and other homosexual plaintiffs should try this theory, as well as others, when they argue that they have faced discrimination not only due to sexual orientation, but also "because of sex."

Non-food shopping trips in May rose by 2.2% year on year making it the busiest May on the high street for the last three years.
Footfall last month was also up 6.4% on April figures according to the latest data from Retail Traffic Index analysts SPSL. However the figures were flattered by a poor May in 2007 and boosted by early Sale promotions.
SPSL retail psychologist Dr Tim Denison put the increase in shoppers down to good weather at the beginning of the month. He said: "Good weather for the first half of May boosted shopper numbers considerably, unleashing latent interest especially in seasonal items. We had not expected such a marked resurgence."
He added that retailers managed to keep shoppers on the high street later in the month when the weather took a turn for the worse by launching "catch them while you can" Sales.
But he warned that a poor May in 2007 flattered this month's figures and that deep discounting by retailers after a slow April and March also had an effect.
He said: "The decision to bring Sale campaigns forward to even earlier than last year is designed to boost business and re-engage the shopper. Looking forward we predict that June will see even more special promotions designed to get shoppers out of their homes and into stores. Expect to see downloadable vouchers normally only seen at Christmas, one day or even one hour events and special warehouse and summer clearances. Expect a bargain bonanza right through to September."

"THEY ARE A GREAT SET OF LADS"
NIGEL Clough added a new face to his squad yesterday as he brought in experienced goalkeeper Stephen Bywater.
In his first interview at Burton Albion, Bywater said: "Yes, India was an experience. I got the call last summer to go out there with Peter Taylor but I'm back now and happy to join Burton. They are on a good run and hopefully will have a good end to the season.
"I knew the club was interested in a goalkeeper and we had a chat. Martin Taylor was the goalkeeping coach at Derby and now he's here that was a big attraction for me. I wanted to join the team as I know he will do well at Burton. The sessions we do keep you on your toes. As a keeper 90 per cent of the time you deal with the goalkeeping coach so that's important."
Bywater has met the squad and seen the team spirit in the club.
"They are a great set of lads and there's a good atmosphere around the dressing room. I'm excited for the team. I came to the Blackpool game to watch and the support was really good.
"Training has been good and sharp and I know how they work and I know that Martin Taylor will get the best out of the keepers.
"You have a team that's has got a lot of clean sheets and who are top of the league and I'm here to add to that and to a squad that's hopefully going to do well. There are no negatives really. I'm here to enjoy myself and be part of a squad that's hopefully going for promotion."

The Future is Bright in La Pine
By FiveTalent on	 February 17, 2010 Spotlight on the Community-Archives
The La Pine Ford Leadership Team, a team of south Deschutes County "Citizen Leaders" recently announced the completion of the Huntington Road Lighting Project sponsored by the Ford Institute for Community Building. The leadership team—seeded with a $5,000 challenge contribution from the Ford Foundation when they began their project almost a year and a half ago—raised $52,000 in cash and in kind services for the project.
One of the main contributing businesses was Midstate Electric, who provided $1,250 per light in contractor and installation services. Midstate Electric's Engineering Supervisor, Tom Weller, who led the design team for the lighting project said, "We wanted to enhance the safety of pedestrians by illuminating the intersections along Huntington Road. The lighting we chose was successful in meeting our goals to provide a low maintenance, long lasting, visually appealing lighting standard."
Over forty other local businesses were involved—donating everything from cash to printing services to make this project happen—including Tony and Kathy DeBone's, Little d Technology. "The Ford Family Foundation Leadership Group has been a powerful experience for me," says Kathy. "I am thankful to have met and worked as a team with people who care about our community as much as I do. I have learned new skills and concepts that I will always carry with me, both in my personal and business life."
The Ford Institute for Community Building came into La Pine with the following mission statement: "to enhance the vitality of rural communities." The Ford Institute operates within the framework of the following core values: integrity, stewardship, respect, independence and community. Their goal is to mentor leaders within rural communities. In January 2009, La Pine graduated the largest class to date—including the youngest, Carmen Pierce, and the oldest, Betty Skinner—to ever take part in this program.
After two months, and many ideas and concepts, the class adopted the "Huntington Road Lighting Project." The purpose of the lighting project is to add light posts—complete with banner arms for seasonal and community advertising—on a dark stretch of road for the safety of the children, community members and local businesses. This project was full of many challenges, but the La Pine Leadership Group does not know how to let something go after they've sunk their teeth into it! The initial goal was to fund five lights along the corridor of Huntington Road between Ace Hardware and the intersection of Highway 97.
With the support of the business community, members and city, enough funds were raised to have 10 light poles installed. Banners have been displayed on the finished light posts, thanking the sponsors.
In addition to the funds raised to purchase and install the light poles, it was the vision of the group to raise enough funds to pay for the power charges on these light poles for the following 10 years. The team worked closely with Midstate Electric to research the amount of money required for a yearly fee per light. This figure was then added to the total purchase price of each light, thereby making these lights a true gift to the city of La Pine.
Ceremonial lighting of the first light took place December 5, 2009 at the annual La Pine Trucker's Light Parade with Veronica Schneider reading the group's mission and purpose before the lighting. Group participant Art Uecker, La Pine Insurance (and La Pine Chamber of Commerce President), said, "It has been an honor to be a part of such a tremendous group of community minded individuals. We have managed to complete a project, which we believe sets the bar for all future Ford Family Foundation cohorts. I would never have imagined when we started, that in this economic climate, we would be able to raise in cash and in kind donations in excess of $52,000. The success and scope of this project is a testimony to what can be done when a group of civic minded citizens set their mind to it. I would hope that in the months and years to come this success would serve as a template for other groups to achieve their goals as well."
Another participant Robin Mirrasoul said, "The Ford Leadership Project took a bunch of strong personalities, taught us how to come together in cooperation for a single goal and build lasting friendships in the community. It's so exciting to see many of our Ford Group already starting to serve in additional ways, going on to serve with other community boards and projects and using new skills to be far more effective. One of the really wonderful things that has come from the involvement of the Ford Family Leadership Project is a change in La Pine's image in the area. A refreshing, positive attitude in our community of pride and a can do attitude. We really are a small town with a very
bright future."
The community and the city of La Pine are now seeing a brighter future due to the lights on Huntington Road, and the leadership of the group, which inspired it.

I never used to be able to understand how people could live land-locked. I couldn't comprehend how people could live in a town or city that was surrounded by itself, or by nothing at all.
And then I moved to Sydney and couldn't justify the rent to live by the water! Boy, did my opinions soon change!
I couldn't leave my holidays without seeing the ocean, without standing in it's beauty, without feeling the waves crash against my legs. Just once. Trips to the ocean are becoming fewer and far between, and each trip I find myself more and more disconnected. It scares me.
But with each trip I find myself more and more connected to land.
Before I find myself more and more disconnected, I thought I'd start the new year off with a bit of "OceanCraft 101".
NB: Reading through this post it feels like standard basics that we should all follow when working out doors in nature.
As children I remember my brother and I would dump our things on the sand as soon as a spot was chosen, and then raced straight into the water with our boogie boards at the ready.
It doesn't matter if it's the first time you've visited a particular beach, or if you're a local, it's always good to ground and centre. Beaches carry a lot of scattered energy, particularly during the summer with the crowds all lending theirs (which is why you'll never find me at Bondi), so it's good to ensure that you're connected to the beach, not to Joe Blow three towels over.
Acknowledge the spirits of place and introduce yourself.
Before you do any form of magick – before you cast a circle, before you call the quarters or call for peace – acknowledge the spirits of place. This generally comes when I ground and centre, but I wanted to draw particular attention to it.
Why? Because it's good manners.
(C) Book of Eucalypt 2016. What do you feel here?
Spirits of Place are ancient. They are older than the trees and the grass on the hills. Sometimes they take the form of a First Nations identity, sometimes as the crash of the waves, sometimes a voice on the wind. It all depends on you, and how you communicate with Spirit. They communicate in all forms and none. They are – they are the sand between your toes, the rush of the waves, the salty sea air.
If you know of the land that you stand on, acknowledge it. If not, a simple "Hello" will suffice.
Be prepared to alter your plans.
Depending on the energy of the land, the spirits of place may be kind or forbidding. You may feel welcomed with open arms, or warned to come back another time (as I was today).
If what you had in mind was dependent on being in the ocean, be prepared with Plan B. If it rains unexpectedly, try to work it into your rite if you're able (or run for cover if you don't want to get sick).
Jellyfish! (C) Book of Eucalypt 2016.
Today I failed my own advice and did not have a Plan B in mind, as I wasn't expecting to see jellyfish patrolling the waters edge. I'm not 100% on whether these are kind or nasty jellies, as people were still swimming and surfing, but the Spirits of Place told me to be careful.
Stay out of the water, stay on the shore.
In Australia, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon. It is illegal to carry a knife. Technically, it's illegal to carry an athame, especially if it's sharp.
The beauty of OceanCraft, as I've mentioned in previous posts, is that you don't really need tools of any kind as the elements are all around you.
A friend once tried to set up an altar (complete with candles) and it wasn't necessary. For us that night the wind picked up, made it impossible to set up, and later stole our athames (it was late on a deserted beach – we risked it!). If you DO feel the need, bring a wand. That would come in handy for any spells you may want to write in the sand (especially if you have trouble kneeling/bending) but a stick found in the area works just as well. As do thongs/flip flops if you're really desperate!
Make sure there's a towel in the car to dry your feet off, and have plenty of water on you. If you don't want to take all of your belongings, hide your handbag in the car and just take your keys and mobile phone (for emergencies). I tend to tuck these into my bra as I don't generally have pockets when I visit the beach.
Always take your rubbish home with you, and have a spare bag in the car (or with your things) to carry anything the beach gifts you. I've found feathers, special shells, old crab shells, hag stones etc and a bag for them comes in handy.
If you've come a long way for the beach and the weather looks like it's going to turn for the worse, don't be scared to ask the Gods while you're travelling to allow your moment there to be clear. Years ago I had travelled over 100km to go to "my beach" for an August Full Moon (yes, it was cold!). It looked like it was going to rain, so 20km out I asked the Gods if the rain could hold off as I had come a long way.
The rain stopped once I parked my car, and began once I got back to it.
And always say "Thank-you" when you finish.
Respect the place, respect the spirits, and always say, 'Farewell and good-bye' when you're leaving and heading back to your mode of transport.
No two beaches are the same. No two beaches will ever have the same energy, have the same personality, and your experience will always differ. Just as we know that just because two Deities represent the same thing (eg. Athena and Diana) it doesn't mean they are the same.
When you work with the Ocean, you are not in control. The Ocean works with it's own set of rules, it's own agenda, and we are there as visitors. Unlike the altar in your room or the space in the back yard, the Ocean can be an amazing, forceful and destructive element of nature that needs to be respected.
Know the water – keep clear of rip tides, wear sunscreen, and if you're being told by the Spirits of Place or your own intuition to get out, then you get out. If you don't feel comfortable there for whatever reason, go.
There have been many occasions were I have visited the beach and I turn and go after a minute or two. I've been told politely and not so politely to run. I've been told that if I stay I will die. I've also completely ignored intuition and almost drowned after I heard the Sirens, walked into the water and had *something* slap me to wake me out of the void.
That said, they are but 10 instances out of hundreds. If you respect the Ocean as a living entity with it's own personality, then it will respect you.
Don't be in a rush to get there, do your thing, then leave – unless that's what you absolutely need to do. If it's a nice enough day, enjoy it. Make a picnic lunch before hand, take a walk up and down the beach.
And don't forget a selfie!
Greetings from landlocked Derby in the UK!
Your words, as always, are both practical and inspiring.
May 2016 bring you health, wealth and happiness.
Sometimes you find yourself out in nature and all of the etiquette you're taught as a child flies right out the window. Introducing your self, saying please and thank you is vital when you're dealing with Nature and Nature's Spirits. This article speaks volumes in just a few words.


The duo told me they met in Miami, where they were fans of each other's bands, and eventually formed Afrobeta in 2006. They spent a few years playing local shows but as of 2010 hit the road, where they started racking up spots in a number of high-profile tours. The Pittsburgh/Burgettstown show was the third show of this particular tour, and they exuberantly called the experience thus far amazing.
Their first LP, Under the Streets, is due out on August 30th, and should the zombie apocalypse happen anytime soon their plan is to strap their dogs onto their backs in papooses, get on a boat, and wait it out from somewhere in the ocean.

Currently sitting indoors whilst it's raining and thundering outside, dreaming about my holiday to Paris is May.
So it's Sunday, not too much of a brilliant day for me as I'm almost always working. I thought I had got lucky today by getting the 5pm-10pm shift but I've just received a phone call and have to go in at 3pm, boo. It's also mothers day today, I've sent my mum a little message and I've got her card here ready to post(I know it's a bit late but I'm too good with getting to the post office these days).
So this outfit was based around the theme of Spring/Summer, sort of a wanderlust post. On the 23rd of May(that's in just seventy-four days) myself and three other friends are jetting off to Paris for a long weekend! I'm super excited, as I'm sure anyone would be, right? This is the kind of outfit I'd want to rock, walking through the streets of Paris! Providing the weather is kind to us, this will be the kind of thing I'll be wearing!
Current Obsession: Innocent pure fruit smoothies!
I can't believe I hadn't had one of these little beauties until earlier this week! You need to go out and try one!

Summary of The Wild Iris
'The Wild Iris' by Louise Glück is a complex and deeply metaphorical poem that describes death from the perspective of a flower.
Throughout the short lines of 'The Wild Iris,' the speaker describes what it means to live, die, and be reborn again. They've gone through the cycle an endless number of times as a flower. It is a struggle that has a door at the end, a light at the end of the tunnel. They are well-versed in what it is like to be buried alive and exist without a voice and then rediscover that voice as one bends the earth. While the speaker is talking about a flower, there are obvious implications for humanity, and the human soul. It is also possible to read this poem as a depiction of a mental or emotional rebirth rather than a physical one.
You can read the full poem here.
Structure of The Wild Iris
'The Wild Iris' by Louise Glück is a twenty-three line poem that is separated into uneven stanzas. These range in length from one line up to five. Glück did not choose to make use of a specific metrical pattern or rhyme scheme, a style of writing known as free verse. But, that doesn't mean that the poem is totally devoid of rhyme, rhythm, and a variety of other literary devices.
Literary Devices in The Wild Iris
Glück makes use of several poetic techniques in The Wild Iris. These include but are not limited to metaphor, personification, and enjambment. The latter, enjambment, occurs when a line is cut off before its natural stopping point. Enjambment forces a reader down to the next line, and the next, quickly. One has to move forward in order to comfortably resolve a phrase or sentence. It can be seen throughout this poem, specifically in the transitions between lines one and two as well as eight, nine, and ten.
Personification occurs when a poet imbues a non-human creature or object with human characteristics. This is seen when the poet gives the speaker, a flower, human qualities. Such as the ability to recall events in the past and then convey those events to a reader.
A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things that does not use "like" or "as" is also present in the text. When using this technique a poet is saying that one thing is another thing, they aren't just similar. There are several examples in 'The Wild Iris'. For example, the image of the earth bending as the speaker reasserts themselves into the living world.
Analysis of The Wild Iris
Lines 1- 7
At the end of my suffering
there was a door.
Then nothing. The weak sun
flickered over the dry surface
In the first lines of 'The Wild Iris,' the speaker begins with a simple statement. It is spread over two lines, making use of a technique known as enjambment. The line alludes to both darkness and light. The speaker, who may or may not be a flower, suffered but at the end of it "there was a door". The door is a symbol of hope, happiness, and peace. The use of the word "door" confuses the speaker's identity further. It is unclear who she is and what she has experienced.
The speaker asks the reader to "Hear [her] out" in the second stanza. These words catch the reader's attention and make sure that the next lines are weighted with importance. They assert that they remember "death". But, that "death" is not their own perception of it. The memory is complicated by the speaker's perspective. It is "that which you call death" that they remember. There's something different about their perception than the reader's. This supports the possibility that the speaker is a flower.
In the third stanza, the speaker takes the reader out of a metaphorical world and into a physical one, or at least that's how it seems. They describe the noises in a natural environment, a good example of auditory imagery, and the "weak sun". The wind is moving the branches and then all of a sudden there is "nothing". This could refer to the silence, to imminent death, or to a blank space in the speaker's mind.
Lines 8-15
It is terrible to survive
to speak, ending abruptly, the stiff earth
bending a little. And what I took to be
birds darting in low shrubs.
In the next stanza of 'The Wild Iris, 'the speaker goes on to say that it is "terrible to survive / as consciousness" while buried in the earth. This is a dark and fearful image that brings up images of people being buried alive. The flower that may be at the centre of this poem would be buried in the dark earth in order to grow, something that is not fearful but life producing. It is interesting to consider why the speaker describes this process as "terrible". Either way, these lines are a good example of personification.
The distances of the speaker from the light of the world and life is still present in the eleventh and twelfth lines. They are present but unable to make themselves known. They have no voice, something that would be terrifying for any human being. There is a connection being developed here between the experience of the flower and what a human reader can understand.
Finally, the period of being unable to speak comes to its conclusion and the earth bends as the flower pushes its way through it. The speaker recalls how they thought the sounds they previously heard above ground were mysterious now she knows it was the sound of birds. Imagery is used very skillfully here as a reader is asked to imagine the sound of birds flying as one might experience it underground. The image of the birds is an important one. In this case, it is likely symbolizing the human soul, freedom, and peace.
You who do not remember
passage from the other world
a great fountain, deep blue
shadows on azure seawater.
The sixth stanza picks up with the speaker reminding the reader that they have been telling a story of death. "You," the reader won't remember what it was like to move from one world to the next, from the darkness before life into the light. But, this speaker does. Like a flower, this speaker knows rebirth and life and death very well as they go through it every spring. The next lines emphasize this point. The "oblivion" that the speaker refers to is a temporary one.
In the final lines, the speaker expresses the heart of what it means to die and live again. This is done through the image of a "great fountain, deep blue". This is the voice of the speaker telling the reader that this fountain of water comes from the "centre" of their life. While it is not entirely clear, these lines likely depict the moment that this flower/speaker regains life once more. An experience that all creatures have gone through but it is capable of remembering and relaying.

From the center of my life. She is describing the Iris flower. look at at IRIS flower and you will find out.
Lee-James Bovey says:
yep, you are correct!
june bower says:
"great fountain, deep blue". Yes, this line expresses the center of life bursting forth again. But the "deep blue" also suggests that with life comes the knowledge that there is a great sadness in life-being profoundly blue, because we all will suffer and we all know that death is inescapable.
Yes, that phrase certainly has a plethora of interpretations. Clever use of wordplay!

rumor has it he spent six years getting a four year degree at Michigan State University, mostly because he didn't have a clue what to do with his life, partly because he needed to work full time to pay the rent. he emerged mostly intact with a BA in English, emphasis in writing, and a healthy respect for vodka that continues to this day.
fleming has written three novels that are sitting in a box in his garage.
if asked his greatest influences he would probably say his 12th grade creative writing teacher (Mrs. Shoemaker), Shakespeare, Raymond Carver and any number of other well-known poets.
the truth is always darker.
fleming was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. his critcally acclaimed book of poems, Falling Up, is available now from nibble press.
his poetry has been featured in St Adeline of Verse Lights Apollo's Cigarette, Blossums, Ibbetson Street Press (#25), Lummox Journal (forthcoming), xenith (June 10), kipple (April 30), Poieses (#2, #3, #4, #5), Right Hand Pointing (#23, #24), Ink, Sweat & Tears (Jan 1), Bottom of the World (#2), a handful of stones (Nov 24, Dec 7, Jan 20, Feb 25, Dec 7, Jan 5, Dec 8), 63 Channels (#36), Origami Condom (#10), Best Poem (July 28), Brevities (#67) and Pocket Change (Aug & Sept).
one of fleming's poems appeared on the last broadside from The Guerilla Poetics Project.
fleming is a founding member of the Melville-Sun Poetry Collaborative.
his poetry has been described as "mature, intelligent, empathetic….good stuff." he writes "with a steady blend of emotion, experience, universality, and objectiveness."
fleming currently lives in a house on a hill in the fog with his wife and his two sons.

Contact your local Sales representative by using this Link.
Contact Lufthansa Cargo's eChannel Helpdesk.
eFreight components – electronic freight documents.
The electronic Air Waybill being an exchanged electronic message constitutes the legal basis for the transport agreement between freight forwarder and airline and is the first major digitized document.
The IATA standard electronic consignment security declaration is the digital equivalent to the regular paper-security and screening information of shipments.
The electronic House Manifest replaces paper House Manifest or Consol Manifest with FHL.
The electronic Dangerous Goods Declaration is a new, digital standard for the management of Dangerous Goods Data throughout the supply chain.
eFreight components – process acceleration through electronic data exchange.
PreCheck is the preceded, electronic document processing of FWB and FHL messages belonging to an eAWB shipment through Lufthansa Cargo resulting in immediate response about their content quality.
Quick drop off / Quick pick-up.
With the new self-service terminals Lufthansa Cargo offers freight deliverers a quick check-in and to skip the counter process.
eAWB - electronic Air Waybill.
IATA announced the electronic Air Waybill (e-AWB) will become the default contract of carriage for all air cargo shipments on enabled trade lanes, effective 1 January 2019.
EAW = eAWB shipments without accompanying paper documents.
EAP = eAWB shipments with accompanying paper documents, e.g. pouch, consol manifest, etc.
Lufthansa Cargo is working on eliminating remaining product restrictions.
A customer delivers an eAWB-shipment without the respective paper document to a 'Single Process' station.
Lufthansa Cargo automatically decides whether a paper-AWB is needed by local authorities or at destination.
On non-eAWB capable lanes Lufthansa Cargo will reproduce the paper-AWB for the customer as a standardized and innovative industry solution for all lanes.
Sign the IATA Multilateral Agreement (IATA Resolution 672) as legal basis of eFreight. For further information on the Multilateral Agreement please click here.
Contact the respective sales representative to demand Activation Notice with Lufthansa Cargo and define the framework for paperless shipments.
Fulfil the technical requirements and provide high FWB quantity and quality above 98%. Lufthansa Cargo offers support to reach this standard with the 'Data Quality Initiative'.
Create an eFreight booking and choose EAP or EAW depending on your shipment requirements. Correct usage of special handling codes (SPLs) EAP and EAW within FWB transmission and/or booking.
The new Lufthansa Cargo "eAWB Data Capture" simplifies and improves the capture process and transmission of shipment data (MAWB and HAWB). Also agents without messaging connection to LH Cargo can deliver paperless shipments and profit from eAWB and eHM processes.
The application features a range of new functions which can be found in the regular user manual. In order to access the capture application it is mandatory to inherit a LH Cargo Web Portal Account which also grants entry to all other eServices that are located in the LH Cargo web environment.
Lufthansa Cargo offers the "Data Quality Initiative" (DQI) to validate the content quality of transmitted FWB messages and to support the freight forwarder in fulfilling the basic requirements for paperless cargo transport.
eCSD - electronic Consignment Security Declaration.
The IATA standard electronic Consignment Security Declaration (eCSD) is the digital equivalent to the regular paper-security and screening information of shipments. If enabled all security information will automatically be included in the FWB and sent to carrier and customs and allows operators to exchange and archive security information electronically. This electronic document can also be audited by regulators at any point in the secure supply-chain and printed from electronic records.
Further information and the respective IATA resolution can be found here.
eHM – electronic House Manifest.
After eAWB, the digitization of air freight was pushed further by introducing electronic House Manifest (eHM). The House Manifest (also known as Cargo or Console Manifest) lists all information of the House Air Waybills (HAWB) for each consolidated shipment. eHM replaces paper House Manifest or Consol Manifest with FHL. Customer pouches, which contain original HAWB for example, remain unaffected (regarding TACT rules).
eAWB activation (eHM shipments have to be eAWB shipments, too).
FHL data quality above 95%.
eHM customers deliver CSL shipments without MAWB and without House Manifest to Lufthansa Cargo.
Customer pouches, which contain original HAWB, for example, still need to be accepted and shipped (regarding TACT rules).
If destination or authorities need a paper House Manifest, Lufthansa Cargo undertakes its reproduction based on FHL data.
eDGD – electronic Dangerous Goods Declaration.
The "electronic Dangerous Goods Declaration" is a new, digital standard for the management of Dangerous Goods Data throughout the supply chain. Lufthansa Cargo has been a major driver of this standard and the first and currently only airline to support eDGD. eDGD enables Dangerous Goods shipments to be handled without paper DGD copy. All stakeholders (for example shipper, forwarder and airline) use one central data set in an industry collaboration platform. This enables all parties to perform a faster, more efficient and leaner dangerous goods handling process, based on data not on paper. Additionally, data quality will be raised with extensive, central data quality checks. This will lead to increased safety and less rejections, as well as quick reaction times on problems. Transparency along the supply chain will be improved, especially for shippers of these high-value shipments. The eDGD standard is completely compliant with the current legal and regulatory framework (IATA / ICAO).
Currently in phase of integration.
PreCheck* - electronic, documentary acceptance.
PreCheck* is the preceded, electronic document processing of FWB and FHL messages belonging to an eAWB shipment through Lufthansa Cargo resulting in immediate response about their content quality. This offers the opportunity to correct and resend FWB and/or FHL messages forthwith.
*This service is currently available at some German Pilot stations (FRA, MUC, NUE, STR), in Italy (MXP, SWK) and Austria (VIE). Further stations will follow in the near future.
Partially automated and immediate response and feedback about data quality of FWB and FHL messages, which allows, amongst others, a fast correction of data.
Reduction of waiting times for freight deliverers in the documentary acceptance offices of Lufthansa Cargo due to faster processing of related documents.
Less shipment rejection in the documentary acceptance process, provided the PreCheck status is "successful" and the security status has not changed in the meantime.
Less manual inquiries regarding one shipment through Lufthansa Cargo.
Reduced CASS fees due to reduced manual corrections through Lufthansa Cargo.
Error messages and clarification take place before delivery and, therefore, not within off-peak hours or outside business hours.
Activation of respective account of each customer through Lufthansa Cargo.
Quick drop-off / Quick pick-up*.
This service enables you to create shipments lists with Export and Import shipments for a faster drop-off or pick-up*. This service is currently in a pilot phase for Export shipments at FRA, more stations will be available soon.
Shorter or even no waiting times at drop-off or pick-up.
Ideally no registration at Lufthansa Cargo counters with usage of self-service terminal for documentary acceptance.
Higher priority for documentary handling if acceptance at counter is necessary.
PreCheck status of all AWB in one group is "success".
Driver knows registration number as "approved" operator (DE/H number) or regulated agent (DE/RA number). Entry of both numbers is possible.
For all AWB of one group security status "SPX" was transmitted.
Each shipment group will have one unique code. You will get a printout (pdf) showing all AWBs, which serves as permission to deliver/ pick-up freight for your driver.
Printout with code can be distributed directly via mail.
No need to carry AWB copies for eAWB anymore.
Truck and driver data can be captured in advance.
Mail/ SMS notification for driver.
Your driver will be processed faster at the documentation counter.
In a next step, use self-service terminals for documentation. With this, it is possible to skip the counter completely.
No need to carry stamped paper documents for pick-up.
Order loading assistance directly online, no paper form needed.
Tracking of drop-off/pick-up truck status for a shipment group.
With the new self-service terminals Lufthansa Cargo offers freight deliverers a quick check-in and to skip the counter process. This service is currently available at Lufthansa Cargo Center FRA, as well as prospectively in MUC, LAX, ATL and ORD.

Q: How can I count the number of comparisons? (Hash Table) OK, so I am working from the book "Data Structures and other objects using C++ 4th Ed".  I am making a hash table that accepts the keys and hashes them into the correct spots using open addressing to resolve collisions. The code below is what I currently have.

#ifndef TABLE1_H

inline bool table<RecordType>::is_vacant(std::size_t index) const
{
return (data[index].key == NEVER_USED) || (data[index].key == PREVIOUSLY_USED);
}

My question that I was hoping I could get some help with is, How would I keep track of the number of comparisons made to find each value in the table?
So far, I tried making a private member variable and increasing it for each iteration through the find_index loop, but that didn't work. My overall goal is to eventually graph the average number of comparisons Vs. the table density.

The market is lapping up Blumer's rhetoric. At more than a $1 billion raised so far, EOS has become the world's biggest token sale, even though the platform won't launch until June, and it's unclear whether the coin will benefit from it. And it's gotten more euphoric from there — the EOS coin's total market value reached as high as $10.9 billion last year, and recently sat at $8.8 billion, with Blumer owning an estimated 15% of Block.one.
An Iowa native, Blumer, started his journey into virtual assets at the age of 14, selling characters, magic weapons and houses in online game titles such as Ever- quest and World of Warcraft.
His company, Gamecliff, was acquired by Brock Pierce's Internet Gaming Entertainment (IGE) in 2005. Blumer, fresh out of high school, relocated to its Hong Kong headquarters to run operations. Next in 2007, the whizz kid went on to found Accounts.net, which sold in-game avatars and reached more than $1 million a month in revenues. In 2010 He launched Okay.com, an enterprise data- sharing platform for real estate brokers in Asia.
In 2016, Blumer met Dan Larimer and the duo started working on Block.one. Later Pierce got involved in EOS. In order to avoid regulatory complications, EOS' coin sale was not open to people in the U.S. or China.

Хермес Трисмегистос је синкретистичко божанство настало сједињењем обележја грчког бога Хермеса и египатског бога Тота. У првим вековима после Христа приписан му је већи број херметичких списа који су сматрани остацима египатске мудрости, а заправо су били филозофско-мистични текстови из хеленистичког раздобља. Култ, с временом, сједињеног Тота/Хермеса славио се у храму у Хермополису у Египту.

Порекло и особине

Ново божанство познато под именом Хермес Трисмегистос настало је као производ грчких колониста у Египту (колонија Наукратис) који су свога бога Хермеса поистоветили с Тотом, небеским утемељитељем магије, изумитељем писма и чуваром тајних знања. Такође, уједињени Хермес/Тот сматра се, попут својих делова и заштитником астрологије и алхемије.

Претварање египатског бога Тота у хеленистичко божанство Хермеса Трисмегистоса започело је за време Позног Царства (6. век п. н. е.), међутим тек се од 3. века п. н. е. може пратити историјски развитак култа Хермес-Тота.

С временом је Хермес/Тот хуманизиран и претворен у мистичног краља који је владао 3.226 година и написао 36.525 свитака о природним начелима. Касније је Јамблих смањио ту бројку на 20.000 свитака, Климент из Александрије редуковао ју је на четрдесет и два свитка.

Херметички списи

Херметички радови прожети су синтезом египатске традиције, грчког новоплатонизма, зороастризма, јудаизма и хришћанства, а што је последица спајања египатске и хеленистичке културе у првим вековима хршћанске ере. Таквих радова било је у прошлости много, али их је доста изгубљено протоком времена, али и због системског уништавања.

Од већег броја херметичких списа приписаних Хермесу Трисмегистосу, сачувало их се тек неколицина на грчком језику и низ фрагмената које су сачували хршћански аутори. Међу најпознатијим текстовима приписаним Хермесу/Тоту, свакако је Корпус Херметикум, као и Асклепије (изворно "Савршена расправа").

Хермес Трисмегистос у исламу

Исламски учењаци су Хермеса Трисмегистоса поистоветили с Идрисом који се спомиње у Курану, а надимак Трисмегистос погрешно је протумачен као да се односи на три различита лика. Први се изједначавао с Идрисом (Енох у Библији) који је живео пре Потопа. Други је наводно живео у Вавилону и био је Питагорин учитељ, док је трећи живио у хеленистичком Египту.

Многи арапски преводи ранијих херметичких текстова , те многа изворно арапска дела приписивана су Хермесу, кога су сматрали првим учитељем наукеи и филозофије. Повезивали су га с магијом, алхемијом и астрологијом. Херметичку мисао, а посебно алхемију прихватили су суфијски учитељи.

The injury attorneys at Gill, Ladner & Priest, PLLC, will take your case seriously and commit the time and resources your case deserves.
We do whatever it takes to advocate for your rights – through settlement or trial.
Nationally over 90 percent of civil cases settle prior to trial. Settlement is generally in the best interest of all parties involved. By resolving personal injury claims through a negotiated settlement, the case is resolved quicker, providing much needed compensation to injured clients in a timely manner. Therefore, injured people are capable of moving on past the lawsuit and focus on regaining control of their life. A negotiated settlement is beneficial to the defendant (usually the liable insurance company) because it minimizes negative exposure to the person or company. It also enables the liable party to avoid the risk of a jury verdict.
Sometimes, a defendant will not offer a fair and reasonable settlement. Minimal compensation is offered, even though the insurance company (or other liable party) is fully aware of the true value of the case. If this happens your lawyer needs to be prepared to take your case before the jury. Our firm is dedicated to serving our clients' needs. We have the skill and perseverance to take on ruthless insurance companies before a judge or jury.

Listeners unfamiliar with the progression of hip hop may label it as violent, vulgar, and street oriented. In 2019, this couldn't be further from the truth. But there are still artists often found in Chicago who make music videos toting guns, ready to obliterate cops and rival gangs. I find it embarrassing at this point.
Luckily JB and his crew dropped Get Em Lifted, a visual that is meant to inspire. JB starts off with 'This ain't a blood thing or king thing or D thing or block thing or Crip thing a G thing' while mimicking the aformentioned's tiresome music video style. JB has a thunderous voice that cannot be ignored, confident in what he expresses while still managing to be an open, warm, thoughtful individual. Trust, he has bars and a flow that brings catchiness to the track. Jump in.

This bold-flowered bulb blooms in mid to late spring.
A beautiful flower which appears in late winter/early spring, this is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family of bulbs.
These large bulbs belong to the Amaryllidaceae family, which contains many bulbs which do very well in the Sydney climate, including Amaryllis, Nerine, Clivia, Leucojum, Hymenocallis, Scadoxus and Haemanthus. They are found in Central and South America and there are about 80 species as well as any number of hybrid forms in colours of reds, orange, pinks and white, including double forms. The bold funnel-shaped flowers are born atop of a stout stem (ht 60 cm) from late winter to spring. My bulbs (pictured) was grown from seeds given to me by a friend, and took about three years ago to flower. I thought the seeds were from a pink-flowered specimen, but as with much seed-raising of cultivars, the offspring can vary in colour. These bulbs need well-drained reasonable soil in sun or part-shade, and the tip of the bulb should be left exposed. They can be grown in pots. The flowers can be cut for vases. The bulbs should be kept dry after the foliage has died down. Protect the buds and flowers from snails. The scary black and yellow striped amaryllis caterpillars (also known as the lily borers) may attack in spring and can cause a lot of damage to the whole plant in a very short time; they should be dealt with promptly, using a product such as Success, Dipel or a pyrethrum spray. They can also be picked off by hand and squashed!
Suitable for Cut Flowers. Flowers in September, October.

Outspoken Millwall boss Ian Holloway has blasted Arsenal youngster Jack Wilshere for his display of attitude during England's shocking World Cup exit.
The dynamic midfield star played only eighteen minutes in the team's first two matches against Italy and Uruguay as England were knocked out even before kicking a ball in their last game against minnows Costa Rica, but the 22 year old was afforded playing time in that last match against the tiny North American nation.
But upon his substitution in the 73rd minute of that game, the Arsenal man appeared to show his frustration at the decision. And during the post match interview, the youngster admitted, much to the ire of the former Blackpool manager, that he found it difficult to motivate himself.
According to Holloway, who was writing in his column for a newspaper as a pundit during the World Cup, Jack Wilshere almost took the decision by Roy Hodgson to substitute him as a personal insult.
Moreover, if that wasn't bad enough, he proceeded to say how hard it was for him to motivate himself before and during the game because he didn't start against Italy and Uruguay and the team's fate had already been decided by those two matches.
Holloway has a view on everything (remarkably, even Sports betting in Tanzania!) and thinks that the player thinks too highly of himself and is not a team player.
The former Crystal Palace boss also pointed out towards Robin van Persie as a model professional who made no fuss about being taken off during the team's second round win over Mexico, despite being the team captain and accepted the manager's decision fully.
Ollie stated that Jack Wilshere would have benefitted a lot if he had taken on these lessons from the Dutchman while he was at Arsenal and thinks the player should get his head right for the sake of his own future.
